Definitions

  • This invention has to do with packaging and packaged articles.
  • the packaging has at least one fastener for holding the sheet releasably (preferably, re-securably) in the rolled-up state.
  • Such packaging is useful for display of articles for sale; a prospective customer can unroll the package to get a good look at the contents and then roll it up again.
  • the fastener we prefer to provide one or more inwardly-directly fastener elements on the inner surface of the sheet adjacent one of its free ends, and one or more corresponding outwardly- directed fastener elements on the outer surface of the sheet, spaced lengthwise from the inwardly-directed element (s), the inner and outer elements being engageable to hold the sheet in the rolled condition with a circumference corresponding to the lengthwise distance between the fasteners.
  • the rolled package makes at least one and a half and preferably at least two complete turns, so the outwardly directed fastener (s) is preferably spaced from the inward by not more than three- quarters or two-thirds of the length of the sheet.
  • the inner and outer fastening elements are adapted for repeated release and re-fastening.
  • they are preferably fixed on the sheet so as to determine the rolled size (by contrast with the ties and straps used on surgeon' s or carpenter' s rolls which hold instruments or tools) .
  • hook-and-loop fasteners are clearly suitable, they are not well adapted to use when wet.
  • pop or press fasteners e.g. with a snap action; these are also easy to form or mount in or on plastics sheet materials.
  • One or more tabs e.g. on the free end of the sheet may provide an alternative fastener and may be engageable in one or more corresponding slits in the other part of the sheet.
  • a second preferred proposal is for the packaging entity to include one or more retaining formations or elements for holding a packaged article in position against the inner surface of the sheet, especially when unrolled.
  • retaining formations or elements for holding a packaged article in position against the inner surface of the sheet, especially when unrolled.
  • One good way of doing this is by providing one or more flap, strap or pocket-forming layers superimposed on the inner surface of the main sheet. The best shapes for these will depend on the kind of articles packaged. Preferably they leave at least part of the retained packaged article exposed when the sheet is unrolled.
  • Preferred retaining formations are upper and lower flaps attached to the sheet and extending towards each other but with a space in between. They may extend from at or near the top and bottom edges of the sheet.
  • Other retaining formations may be used, e.g. frictional or adhesive attachments, or slits in the sheet, but the latter are less preferred because they may expose the packaged article at the outside of the roll.
  • the sheet is preferably closed and continuous to give best protection to the rolled-up article (s) within, at least where it overlies the article, although one or more perforations may be desirable in special circumstances, e.g. for drainage and/or ventilation, for example if it is expected that the packaging will be used for holding a swim cap after use.
  • the sheet is of plastics material. Since it is usually preferred to get some visual impression of the contents from the outside, the material may be translucent and preferably transparent, at least in part (e.g. a window) and preferably completely. On the other hand, it is also preferred that a label be provided on the outside of the sheet and this is usually opaque. An opaque outer sheet may be acceptable or useful e.g. in cases where the contents might suffer from exposure to light; a user is still able to inspect the contents by unrolling the package.
  • a support or hanging formation be provided on or in the sheet, so that the rolled package can be stood or suspended e.g. in a shop display.
  • This support or hanging formation might be e.g. a hook or loop formation bonded to, looped through or formed integrally with the sheet, or simply a hole through a top edge portion of the sheet, depending on the kind of hanging intended.
  • the rollable packaging sheet itself is an independent aspect of the invention
  • a further aspect of the invention is an article packaged in such a rolled/rollable sheet, particularly a single article, preferably a flexible, laminar (or flattenable) article, preferably a textile or polymer or rubber article, preferably a garment such as swimwear and especially a swim cap.
  • Fig. 1 is an inside view of a packaging sheet embodying the invention
  • Fig. 2 is an outside view of the Fig. 1 sheet;
  • Fig. 3 is a front view of the sheet rolled up, and
  • Fig. 4 is a back view of Fig. 3.
  • the figures show a generally rectangular sheet 1 of transparent PVC or polypropylene.
  • first free end 11 to go on the outside
  • second free end 12 to go on the inside
  • top and bottom edges 13,14 This embodiment being for a swim cap, the sheet in this example is from 18 to 24 cm high and from 20 to 30 cm long, but the dimensions chosen will depend on the article to be packaged.
  • each of the top and bottom edges 13,14 a respective D-shaped retaining flap 21,22 is fixed, and in its rest position lies over the inner face of the sheet 1.
  • the mode of forming the flaps is not critical, but desirably they lie preferentially inwardly in the positions shown, to serve their retaining function. In this embodiment they are parts of a separate sheet hot-welded along the edges of the main sheet. Part of the top edge 13 has an integral hanger projection 8, and the welded-on layer forming the flap 21 has the same shape so that the hanger projection 8 is double-thickness for strength.
  • a swim cap 9 is shown in dotted lines, lying entirely within the area of the sheet 1 and with its top and bottom central parts retained under the flaps 21,22 so that it will not fall out.
  • the sheet 1 is adapted to be rolled up with the cap 9 inside it, and secured releasably in the rolled form.
  • upper and lower pop fastener elements 4 are provided o'n the inner surface adjacent the first end 11, and a pair of complementary fastener elements 5 is provided on the outer surface slightly more than halfway along the sheet from the first end 11.
  • Such fasteners are easily and cheaply fitted through plastics sheet material .
  • Fig. 3 and 4 show the package rolled up, with the fasteners 4,5 engaged.
  • the hanger formation 8 having a conventionally-shaped hanging slot 81 with a central locating notch 82, is formed slightly off-centre on the sheet so as to be lined up with the outer fasteners 5.
  • the front view (Fig. 3) showing the swim cap 9 within and a suitable label 7 in the best way.
  • a potential customer in a shop can see the general nature of the cap from outside. To get a better look, they can unpop the fasteners 4,5 and unroll the package. It can then be re- rolled and put back on the hanger without disarranging the cap 9.
  • the package can also be useful for holding the cap after purchase.

Abstract

On utilise, dans le cadre de cette invention, une feuille d'emballage (1), convenant au maintien d'un bonnet de bain (9) à vendre, ainsi qu'une feuille de plastique transparente pourvue d'éléments de fixation à fermeture rapide (4, 5), séparés sur le plan longitudinal, orientés vers le bas ainsi que vers l'extérieur, et de rabats de retenue (21, 22) sur sa face interne. Les rabats maintiennent en place le bonnet de bain (9) contre la feuille. Celle-ci peut être aplatie et maintenue dans cet état grâce aux éléments de fixation à fermeture rapide (4, 5). La feuille a un élément d'accrochage (8) permettant de la suspendre à un présentoir de vente.
