Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pack assembly comprising a group of parallelepiped-like drink packs placed next to one another, each provided at the top with a closure that is raised with respect to the top surface thereof, said group comprising a number of rows of packs as well as a carrier enclosing said group from above or from below, which carrier contains a support for, respectively, bearing a further pack assembly or bearing the related pack assembly, which support is provided with a peripheral rim as well as accommodations for said closures.
  • a pack assembly of this type is disclosed in FR 2 775 666. In this assembly a group of drink packs is held together with shrink wrap. A lid-like carrier that bears on the drink packs with two surfaces is placed on the top thereof.
  • the first surface bears on the top of the closures, such as caps.
  • the second surface which is at a lower level, bears on the top of the drink packs.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a pack assembly that has a higher stability than the construction described in this French patent.
  • This aim is realised with a pack assembly as described above in that said carrier comprises a moulded fibre material and in that said peripheral rim is made hanging down or upright with a length such that the top or bottom, respectively, of the side walls of said drink packs adjoin said rim within the latter.
  • the part bearing on the packs or the part on which the packs bear is provided with a peripheral rim within which the side walls of the packs are enclosed from above or, respectively, from below.
  • the support is preferably made from, a moulded material provided with elevations and depressions.
  • the elevations act as accommodations for the cap-like closure, whilst the depressions are preferably made in the form of supporting ribs which bear on the surface of the packs that surrounds the cap-like closures.
  • any type of moulded material can be used, a particularly simple construction is provided if moulded fibre material is used.
  • the support is constructed as a carrier. That is to say, the support is made in such a way that it extends over all packs of a group. By providing the support with a peripheral rim, these packs are held together. In this way it is possible in a particularly material-saving manner to hold packs together and to group them, followed by transport and storage. A particularly small amount of waste is produced when separating into the individual packs.
  • the invention also relates to a support comprising a moulded material, an essentially flat side and an opposing side provided with a series of accommodations in line, delimited between ribs.
  • this support is so constructed that it can be nested. This can be achieved by selecting the position of the elevations and the ribs of the support in an appropriate manner.
  • Using the abovementioned support it is possible to stack groups of packs above one another and alongside one another. However, it is also possible to arrange the supports such that they are always stepped in groups of packs on top of one another. By this means a particularly stable unit of packs can be obtained, for example on a pallet. The stability is greater than in the case of simply stacking boxes on top of one another.
  • the accommodations with the cap-like closures fitted therein ensures stable and reliable positioning of the support.
  • the support is provided with accommodations for receiving, for example, the cap-like closures. These are received in the accommodations over the entire height or at least part of the height. Consequently, when the cap-like closure is subjected to load the weight caused by the load will be uniformly distributed by insertion of the support according to the present invention, not only over the cap-like closures, but also over the adjacent part of the pack. Because this adjacent part is usually closer to the peripheral edge of the pack, this has a higher bearing capacity. In this way denting of the underlying packs, and more particularly at the location of cap-like closures, by the weight of the packs placed on top is prevented.
  • the carrier can comprise a box and in particular the base thereof.
  • the support according to the invention is, for example, placed in the central part thereof, that is to say the part some distance away from the relatively rigid side walls of the box.
  • Fig. 1 shows, diagrammatically, a perspective view of a box for containing drink packs
  • Fig. 2 shows the application of the invention with the box according to Fig. 1; Fig. 3 shows a further variant of the invention; and Fig. 4 shows the support shown in Fig. 3 in combination with packs.
  • a box for accommodating three rows of packs 5 provided with a so-called spin cap 6 is indicated by 1.
  • Each row consists of four packs 5.
  • Box 1 is provided with side walls 3, a base (open carrier) and top surface 4. In the illustration shown here the central part of the top surface 4 has been removed. It will be understood that this may or may not be present.
  • the weight of the central series of packs 5 in the upper box will be transferred to the central series of packs 5 of the box beneath it.
  • a support 10 is proposed according to the invention.
  • Moulded fibre material is understood to be a material moulded from an aqueous fibre slurry essentially consisting of wood-based material. Such a fibre material can be moulded in the slurry-like state and then dried.
  • moulded board produced from paper material.
  • Support 10 consists of a peripheral flange 11 and a number of accommodations 12 for the closures 6. There are ribs 13 and elevations 14. Ribs 13 are so made that when support 10 is placed on the central series of packs 5 this makes contact with the top of these packs.
  • the elevations 14 provide an additional support surface together with the accommodations 12 and flange 11 for the further pack placed on the box 10.
  • flange 11, top of accommodations 12 and top of elevations 14 are in the same surface on which the central part of the next pack bears. In this way a uniform distribution of the weight of the box on top onto the box below can be obtained.
  • FIG. 3 A further variant of the present invention is shown in Fig. 3.
  • the support is indicated in its entirety by 20 and also consists of a moulded fibre material.
  • the accommodations for the closures 6 of packs 5 are indicated by 22 and 23.
  • Ribs 25, 26 are located between these.
  • a flanged edge is indicated by 27.
  • support 20 functions not only for distributing the load from the series of packs 5 on top onto the series below in that the accommodations fit over the closures 6 of the series of packs below, but also serves as a tray for accommodating a group of packs. As a result of the flanged peripheral edge 27 the position of the packs is accurately delimited.
  • the groups of packs can, moreover, be held together, for example, by shrink wrap or with straps.
  • the edge 27 in Figs 3 and 4 extends downwards, as a result of which the tops of a group of drink packs are held together instead of the bottoms, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4.
  • a combination of the two is also possible, that is to say both packs on top and packs placed below are held together by means of a support 20.
  • a particularly stable unit is produced as a result and the use of shrink wrap or the like is no longer necessary.

Abstract

Support (10) constitué d'un matériau en fibres moulé comprenant une face plane et une face dotée de logements (12). Ces logements sont réalisés de telle sorte qu'une série de packs de boisson de forme parallélipédique et plus particulièrement leurs fermetures, peuvent être reçus par lesdits logements. Lorsque le support est placé sur les packs, un élément porteur est produit sur lequel une autre série de packs ou un conditionnement extérieur peut être placé. Le support peut s'étendre sur une partie limitée de la surface d'une série de packs qui, par exemple a été placée dans une boîte. Il est aussi possible d'utiliser le support en tant qu'élément porteur pour un groupe de packs.
