COMPRESSIBLE. CARTE DE VŒUX COMPRENANT UN TEL PRODUIT EMBALLE ET COMPRESSIBLE. GREETING CARD INCLUDING SUCH A PACKAGED PRODUCT AND
PROCEDE DE FABRICATION D’UN TEL PRODUIT EMBALLE MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF SUCH A PACKAGED PRODUCT
[1] DOMAINE DE L’INVENTION [1] FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[2] La présente invention se rapporte au domaine de la compression sous vide d’objets. Plus précisément l'invention se rapporte au domaine des cartes de vœux comprenant un présent, sous forme d’un objet comprimé sous vide, pour ie destinataire de la carte. [2] The present invention relates to the field of vacuum compression of objects. More precisely, the invention relates to the field of greeting cards comprising a present, in the form of an object compressed under vacuum, for the recipient of the card.
[3] ARRIERE-PLAN TECHNOLOGIQUE [3] TECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND
[4] Dans le domaine des cartes de vœux, il est connu de placer un objet de type objet décoratif, cadeau, gadget ou de type peluche positionné sur une surface plane dans une pochette transparente sous vide. L'objet sous vide est ainsi compressé à une épaisseur adaptée pour être envoyé par voie postale. Le document FR 2 607 788 décrit un exemple d'un procédé d'emballage d’un objet sous vide, permettant d'envoyer à la manière d'une carte postale des objets de dimension réduite. [4] In the field of greeting cards, it is known to place an object of the decorative object, gift, gadget or stuffed type object positioned on a flat surface in a transparent vacuum pouch. The vacuum object is thus compressed to a thickness suitable for being sent by post. Document FR 2 607 788 describes an example of a method of packaging an object under vacuum, making it possible to send objects of reduced size like a postcard.
[5] A cet effet, le document FR 2 607 788 propose de créer une surface plane, telle qu’une carte en carton, et d'y poser un objet de type coussinet, c'est-à-dire un objet rembourré par un matériau aéré telles que des fibres. Une enveloppe plastique et transparente recouvre alors entièrement, par le dessus et par le dessous, la carte et l’objet posé sur la carte. L’intérieur de l’enveloppe est ensuite mis sous vide, de manière à réduire le volume du coussinet et de lui conférer une forme aplatie, adaptée à son expédition sous forme d'une carte postale. [5] To this end, document FR 2 607 788 proposes to create a flat surface, such as a cardboard card, and to place there an object of the pad type, that is to say an object padded by breathable material such as fibers. A transparent plastic envelope then completely covers, from above and below, the card and the object placed on the card. The inside of the envelope is then evacuated to reduce the volume of the pad and give it a flattened shape suitable for shipping as a postcard.
[6] Un problème cependant est la reprise de la forme de l'objet une fois qu’il est sorti de la pochette plastique. En effet, lorsque la pochette plastique est ouverte, il est prévu que l'objet comprimé se regonfle à l’air, reprenant sa forme initiale sous laquelle il constitue le présent pour le destinataire de la carte de vœux. Or, cette reprise de forme peut être inégale, l’objet ne se regonflant pas de manière homogène ou instantanée. Le destinataire de l'objet doit alors manipuler l’objet pour lui redonner sa forme initiale, ou attendre plusieurs heures, ce qui peut être ressenti comme fastidieux. Lorsque l’objet est resté pour une longue période, par exemple plusieurs mois, sous vide, il est parfois nécessaire de plonger l'objet dans l’eau pour qu’il se regonfle, privant le destinataire de l’effet de surprise attendu à l’ouverture de la pochette. [6] One problem, however, is the reshaping of the object once it is removed from the plastic sleeve. In fact, when the plastic sleeve is opened, the compressed object is expected to re-inflate in the air, returning to its initial form in which it constitutes the present for the recipient of the greeting card. However, this regaining of shape can be uneven, the object not re-inflating in a homogeneous or instantaneous manner. The recipient of the object must then manipulate the object to restore it to its original shape, or wait several hours, which can be felt as tedious. When the object has remained for a long period, for example several months, under vacuum, it is sometimes necessary to immerse the object in water so that it re-inflates, depriving the recipient of the expected surprise effect. the opening of the pouch.
[7] Le document US 4,936,460 décrit un emballage pour des jouets tridimensionnels « doux et compressibles ». Le jouet est formé d'un matériau de remplissage compressible et d’une enveloppe extérieure flexible sur laquelle des caractéristiques telles que des yeux et un nez sont imprimés. L’emballage comprend une feuille avant en un matériau transparent et imperméable aux gaz et une feuille arrière imperméable aux gaz qui sont soudées ensemble. Le jouet est compressé jusqu’à atteindre 20% ou moins de son épaisseur et un vide est créé dans l’emballage pour maintenir ie jouet compressé. Le jouet compressé dans son emballage est destiné à être exposé sur un présentoir. Le jouet demeure visible à travers l'emballage et conserve son apparence générale même compressé. A cet effet, le nez et les yeux sont imprimés sur l’enveloppe extérieure, de manière à ne pas être déformés lorsque le jouet est compressé. Le matériau de remplissage peut être du polyester. [7] Document US 4,936,460 describes packaging for "soft and compressible" three-dimensional toys. The toy is made of a compressible filling material and a flexible outer shell on which features such as eyes and nose are imprinted. The package includes a front sheet of transparent and gas impermeable material and a back gas impermeable sheet which are welded together. The toy is compressed to 20% or less of its thickness and a vacuum is created in the package to keep the toy compressed. The toy compressed in its packaging is intended to be displayed on a display. The toy remains visible through the packaging and retains its general appearance even when compressed. For this purpose, the nose and eyes are printed on the outer casing, so as not to be deformed when the toy is compressed. The filling material can be polyester.
[8] Le document CA 2 649 142 décrit un coussin décoratif qui comprend un coussin « basique » et une image sur le devant du coussin. L’image peut comprendre un message de vœux. Le coussin comprend une enveloppe en tissu. Le matériau de remplissage peut comprendre des fibres synthétiques, des plumes, de la mousse, du kapok, des fibres naturelles, de la laine, de la soie, .... La forme du coussin peut être rectangulaire, carrée, triangulaire, circulaire, en croissant, en cœur, en étoile, en U, etc.... Le coussin est compressé par mise sous vide dans une poche imperméable et étanche, de préférence faite en plastique transparent. Le coussin compressé peut ainsi être envoyé par la poste par exemple en étant placé dans une enveloppe ou un carton. Le coussin peut avantageusement être placé dans un sèche-linge pendant 15 minutes pour lui permettre de reprendre sa forme. [8] CA 2 649 142 describes a decorative cushion which includes a "basic" cushion and an image on the front of the cushion. The image may include a greeting message. The cushion includes a fabric cover. The filling material can include synthetic fibers, feathers, foam, kapok, natural fibers, wool, silk, .... The shape of the cushion can be rectangular, square, triangular, circular, crescent, heart, star, U, etc .... The cushion is compressed by vacuum in a waterproof and waterproof bag, preferably made of transparent plastic. The compressed cushion can thus be sent by post, for example by being placed in an envelope or a cardboard box. The cushion can advantageously be placed in a dryer for 15 minutes to allow it to regain its shape.
[9] Ces deux documents posent donc également le problème de la qualité de la remise en forme du produit comprimé. [9] These two documents therefore also pose the problem of the quality of the reshaping of the compressed product.
[10] L'invention vise ainsi notamment à remédier aux inconvénients précités de l’état de la technique. [10] The invention thus aims in particular to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks of the state of the art.

Le produit compressible comprend au moins un corps monobloc réalisé dans une mousse solide compressible élastiquement, le corps étant enveloppé dans une membrane perméable à l'air. [12] Thus, the invention relates, according to a first aspect, to a packaged product comprising at least one compressible product and a packaging in which the compressible product is inserted and placed under vacuum. The packaging includes a bag made of transparent, airtight and flexible material so as to deform during vacuuming and to compress the compressible product. The compressible product comprises at least one one-piece body made of an elastically compressible solid foam, the body being enveloped in an air-permeable membrane.
[13] Le corps monobloc forme ainsi une entité à part entière, de forme déterminée, à la différence d'un objet en fibres de type peluche, dans lequel la forme est déterminée par le tissu qui est rembourré par les fibres. [14] Grâce notamment à ces dispositions, la compression du produit compressible lors de la mise sous vide se fait de manière sensiblement homogène sur le corps monobloc, limitant la formation de plis. En outre, lorsque le produit compressible est remis à la pression atmosphérique, il se regonfle, c'est-à-dire qu’il reprend son volume initial, avant mise sous vide, de manière également sensiblement homogène. [13] The one-piece body thus forms an entity in its own right, of determined shape, unlike an object made of plush-type fibers, in which the shape is determined by the fabric which is padded by the fibers. [14] Thanks in particular to these arrangements, the compression of the compressible product during the evacuation takes place in a substantially homogeneous manner on the one-piece body, limiting the formation of folds. In addition, when the compressible product is returned to atmospheric pressure, it re-inflates, that is to say it returns to its initial volume, before evacuation, also in a substantially homogeneous manner.
[15] Selon différents aspects, il est possible de prévoir l’une et/ou l’autre des dispositions ci-dessous. [15] According to various aspects, it is possible to provide for one and / or the other of the provisions below.
[16] Selon un mode de réalisation, le produit emballé comprend une plaque rigide placée à l’intérieur de la membrane, la plaque rigide étant en contact avec le produit compressible. Ainsi, le produit compressible est compressé contre la plaque rigide dans l’emballage, diminuant la formation de plis sur le produit compressible. [16] According to one embodiment, the packaged product comprises a rigid plate placed inside the membrane, the rigid plate being in contact with the compressible product. Thus, the compressible product is compressed against the rigid plate in the package, reducing the formation of folds on the compressible product.
[17] Selon un mode de réalisation le corps monobloc est réalisé dans une mousse de polyuréthane, qui est une mousse facilement disponible, à moindre coût, et pour laquelle il est possible d'obtenir des propriétés en termes notamment de densité et de dureté avantageuses pour une application à une carte de vœux. [17] According to one embodiment, the one-piece body is made from a polyurethane foam, which is a foam that is readily available, at a lower cost, and for which it is possible to obtain properties in particular in terms of advantageous density and hardness. for application to a greeting card.
[18] Selon un mode de réalisation, la membrane est en tissu. Par exemple, le tissu est imprimé par sublimation permettant au produit compressible de présenter une large gamme de motifs en qualité d’impression optimale identique à une photo de carte postale. [18] According to one embodiment, the membrane is made of fabric. For example, the fabric is printed by sublimation allowing the compressible product to present a wide range of designs in optimum print quality identical to a postcard photo.
[19] Selon un mode de réalisation, le produit emballé peut comprendre deux corps monobiocs en matériau poreux et compressible élastiquement, chaque corps étant placé dans une membrane perméable à l’air, les membranes étant fixées l’une à l’autre. Chaque membrane enveloppe exclusivement le corps compressible correspondant. Ainsi, chaque corps est comprimé et se regonfle de manière homogène. [19] According to one embodiment, the packaged product can comprise two monobioc bodies made of porous and elastically compressible material, each body being placed in a membrane permeable to air, the membranes being fixed to one another. Each membrane exclusively envelops the corresponding compressible body. Thus, each body is compressed and re-inflates homogeneously.
[20] Selon un deuxième aspect, l'invention concerne une carte de vœux comprenant un produit emballé tel que présenté ci-dessus et une enveloppe reliée au produit emballé. En effet, lors de la compression du produit compressible, la diminution de volume de celui-ci peut se traduire en une diminution de l’épaisseur le rendant adapté à un envoi par voie postale. La carte de vœux présente ainsi une fonction de présent. [20] According to a second aspect, the invention relates to a greeting card comprising a packaged product as presented above and an envelope connected to the packaged product. Indeed, when compressing the compressible product, the decrease in volume thereof can result in a decrease in thickness making it suitable for sending by post. The greeting card thus has a present function.
[21] Selon un mode de réalisation, l’enveloppe est en papier. [21] According to one embodiment, the envelope is made of paper.
[22] Selon un mode de réalisation, l’enveloppe comprend au moins un feuillet présentant une ouverture correspondant à la forme du produit compressible, le produit compressible étant visible par l’ouverture dans le feuillet de l’enveloppe. [22] According to one embodiment, the envelope comprises at least one sheet having an opening corresponding to the shape of the compressible product, the compressible product being visible through the opening in the sheet of the envelope.
[23] Selon un troisième aspect, l’invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un produit emballé tel que présenté ci-dessus, le procédé comprenant : la découpe du corps monobloc dans un matériau compressible et poreux à une forme déterminée ; [23] According to a third aspect, the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a packaged product as presented above, the method comprising: cutting the one-piece body in a compressible and porous material to a determined shape;
la mise en place du corps à l'intérieur de la membrane perméable ; placing the body inside the permeable membrane;
la mise en place dans l'emballage du corps et de la membrane, l'emballage comprenant une ouverture à cet effet ; placing the body and the membrane in the packaging, the packaging comprising an opening for this purpose;
la mise sous vide de l’intérieur de l’emballage ; evacuating the inside of the package;
la fermeture de l’ouverture de l'emballage. closing the opening of the package.
[24] Selon un mode de réalisation, lors de l’étape de mise sous vide, une compression mécanique est exercée sur le corps, afin de limiter davantage la formation de plis sur le produit compressible. [24] According to one embodiment, during the evacuation step, mechanical compression is exerted on the body, in order to further limit the formation of folds on the compressible product.

[40] DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE [40] DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[41] Sur la figure 1 , il est représenté selon un premier mode de réalisation un produit 1 emballé comprenant au moins un produit 10 compressible et un emballage 20. Le produit 1 emballé est associé à une enveloppe 31, de manière à former une carte 30 de vœux. [41] In Figure 1, there is shown according to a first embodiment a packaged product 1 comprising at least one compressible product 10 and a packaging 20. The packaged product 1 is associated with an envelope 31, so as to form a card. 30 wishes.
[42] Par compressible, on désigne ici la capacité du produit 10 à diminuer de volume sous l’effet d’une mise sous vide. [42] By compressible is meant here the ability of the product 10 to decrease in volume under the effect of a vacuum.
[43] Le produit 10 compressible comprend un corps 11 monobloc, réalisé dans une mousse solide, compressible élastiquement, enveloppé dans une membrane 12 perméable à l'air, et présentant une forme déterminée. Selon le premier mode de réalisation des figures 1 à 7, la forme est un cœur. [43] The compressible product 10 comprises a one-piece body 11, made of a solid foam, elastically compressible, enveloped in a membrane 12 permeable to air, and having a determined shape. According to the first embodiment of Figures 1 to 7, the shape is a heart.
[44] Par mousse solide, on désigne ici tout matériau constitué d’une matière solide comprenant des alvéoles ou pores destinés à contenir de l'air. [44] By solid foam is meant here any material consisting of a solid material comprising cells or pores intended to contain air.
[45] Pas compressible élastiquement, on désigne ici la capacité du corps 11 à reprendre son volume initial lors de la remise à la pression atmosphérique. [45] Not elastically compressible, here we denote the capacity of the body 11 to resume its initial volume when returning to atmospheric pressure.
[46] Le corps 1 1 est monobloc, c'est-à-dire qu’il est obtenu à partir de la découpe en une unique partie dans un bloc de mousse solide, sans assemblage avec d’autres parties. [46] The body 1 1 is in one piece, that is to say it is obtained from cutting in a single part in a solid foam block, without assembly with other parts.
[47] Le corps 11 monobloc présente ainsi une forme déterminée, en fonction du produit que l’on souhaite obtenir. Ainsi, le corps 1 1 forme une entité solide unique de forme déterminée, à la différence d’un matériau constitué d’un ensemble de particules ou de fibres distinctes, notamment des fibres de garnissage faiblement reliées entre elles, c'est-à-dire qu'elles peuvent être séparées manuellement les unes des autres, et qui sont typiquement utilisées pour rembourrer les peluches. [47] The one-piece body 11 thus has a determined shape, depending on the product that is to be obtained. Thus, the body 1 1 forms a single solid entity of determined shape, unlike a material consisting of a set of particles or distinct fibers, in particular the packing fibers weakly connected to each other, that is to say say that they can be manually separated from each other, and which are typically used to stuff plush toys.
[48] En particulier, le corps 11 peut être réalisé par découpage dans un bloc de mousse. La mousse peut être de la mousse de polyuréthane, telle que de la mousse Energex™. Le choix du type de mousse et le choix de la densité sont adaptés pour que le corps 1 1 à pression atmosphérique procure un effet coussin agréable, et pour que le volume sous vide soit suffisamment faible pour que l’épaisseur permette d'envoyer le produit 1 emballé par voie postale. En outre, le type de mousse ainsi que la densité de la mousse peuvent être choisis pour que le gonflement du produit 10 compressible à la pression atmosphérique se fasse en quelques secondes. En d’autres termes, la mousse du corps 1 1 est choisie afin d’avoir un bon compromis entre sa densité et sa dureté, pour obtenir à la fois une compression suffisante et un gonflement suffisamment rapide lors de l’ouverture de l’emballage 20. [48] In particular, the body 11 can be produced by cutting from a block of foam. The foam can be polyurethane foam, such as Energex ™ foam. The choice of the type of foam and the choice of the density are adapted so that the body 1 1 at atmospheric pressure provides a pleasant cushion effect, and so that the vacuum volume is sufficiently low for the thickness to allow the product to be sent. 1 packed per Postal route. Furthermore, the type of foam as well as the density of the foam can be chosen so that the swelling of the compressible product at atmospheric pressure takes place in a few seconds. In other words, the foam of the body 1 1 is chosen in order to have a good compromise between its density and its hardness, to obtain both sufficient compression and sufficiently rapid swelling when opening the package. 20.
[49] De préférence, la membrane 12 enveloppe un unique corps 11 compressible, de manière être en contact sur l’ensemble de la surface extérieure du corps 1 1 compressible, limitant l’apparition de plis lors de la mise sous vide. [49] Preferably, the membrane 12 envelops a single compressible body 11, so as to be in contact over the entire outer surface of the compressible body 1 1, limiting the appearance of folds during vacuuming.
[50] La membrane 12 est par exemple un tissu adapté pour présenter des motifs 13, des messages 14 ou une combinaison des deux. Il s’agit par exemple d'un tissu en polyester. [50] The membrane 12 is for example a fabric suitable for presenting patterns 13, messages 14 or a combination of both. This is for example a polyester fabric.
[51] Par exemple, la membrane 12 est obtenue par le découpage de la forme requise adaptée à la forme, en cœur selon le premier mode de réalisation, du corps 11 , dans une bande de tissu imprimée. [51] For example, the membrane 12 is obtained by cutting the required shape adapted to the shape, in heart according to the first embodiment, of the body 11, in a strip of printed fabric.
[52] Le tissu est par exemple imprimé par sublimation. Les motifs et messages sur la membrane 12 peuvent être personnalisés, par exemple à partir d’un lieu, ou à partir d’un thème. [52] The fabric is for example printed by sublimation. The patterns and messages on the membrane 12 can be personalized, for example from a location, or from a theme.
[53] La membrane 12 est ainsi formée en reliant deux morceaux coupés dans une bande de tissus, de forme et de dimensions sensiblement identiques et reliés l’un à l'autre par une couture 15 le long de leur bord. D’autres techniques d'assemblage des tissus peuvent être envisagées, telles que la soudure par ultrason. [53] The membrane 12 is thus formed by connecting two pieces cut from a strip of fabric, of substantially identical shape and dimensions and connected to each other by a seam 15 along their edge. Other tissue assembly techniques can be considered, such as ultrasonic welding.
[54] De préférence, la membrane 12 peut être étirable élastiquement. A cet effet, le corps 11 peut être placé dans la membrane 12 par rembourrage. Plus précisément, par exemple dans le cas de la membrane 12 en tissu, les dimensions des morceaux de tissus peuvent être légèrement inférieures à celles du corps 11. Puis, les deux morceaux de tissu sont d’abord reliés partiellement, une portion de leur bord n'étant pas reliés de manière à laisser une ouverture. [54] Preferably, the membrane 12 may be elastically stretchable. For this purpose, the body 11 can be placed in the membrane 12 by padding. More precisely, for example in the case of the fabric membrane 12, the dimensions of the pieces of fabric may be slightly smaller than those of the body 11. Then, the two pieces of fabric are first partially connected, a portion of their edge. not being connected so as to leave an opening.
[55] Le corps 11 est ainsi inséré dans la membrane 12 à force de manière à le déformer en le comprimant. Une fois à l’intérieur de la membrane 12, le corps 1 1 tend à reprendre sa forme et son volume initial en déformant par étirement la membrane 12. Eventuellement, le corps 11 peut ne pas reprendre totalement son volume initial, de manière à être maintenu légèrement comprimé à l'intérieur de la membrane 12. Ainsi, la membrane 12 est maintenue étirée sur le corps 11, de même que le corps 11 est maintenu comprimé dans la membrane 12, garantissant un effet de gonflement du produit 10 compressible lorsqu’il est à l'air libre. [56] Grâce notamment à ces dispositions, un contact intime est assuré entre le corps 11 et la membrane 12 sur toute la surface du corps 1 1. En outre, les mouvements relatifs entre le corps 1 1 et la membrane 12 s'en trouvent limités, garantissant que le produit 10 compressible ne perde pas sa forme, telle la forme de cœur du premier mode de réalisation. [55] The body 11 is thus inserted into the membrane 12 by force so as to deform it by compressing it. Once inside the membrane 12, the body 11 tends to resume its shape and its initial volume by stretching the membrane 12 by stretching. Optionally, the body 11 may not completely return to its initial volume, so as to be kept slightly compressed inside the membrane 12. Thus, the membrane 12 is kept stretched over the body 11, just as the body 11 is kept compressed in the membrane 12, ensuring a swelling effect of the compressible product 10 when ' he is in the open. [56] Thanks in particular to these arrangements, intimate contact is ensured between the body 11 and the membrane 12 over the entire surface of the body 1 1. In addition, the relative movements between the body 1 1 and the membrane 12 are therein. limited, ensuring that the compressible product does not lose its shape, such as the heart shape of the first embodiment.
[57] L'emballage 20 comprend une poche en matière transparente de manière à laisser le produit 10 compressible visible en moins en partie à travers l’emballage 20. Il est en matière souple, c'est-à-dire qu’il se déforme de manière élastique lorsque mis sous vide, comme cela sera explicité plus loin. [57] The package 20 comprises a bag of transparent material so as to leave the compressible product 10 visible at least in part through the package 20. It is in flexible material, that is to say it elastically deforms when placed under vacuum, as will be explained later.
[58] Par exemple, l'emballage 20 est réalisé en matière plastique pas l’assemblage par thermo-soudage de deux feuilles sensiblement identiques le long de leurs bords 21. [58] For example, the packaging 20 is made of plastic material not the assembly by heat-sealing of two substantially identical sheets along their edges 21.
[59] L’emballage 20 est par exemple de forme rectangulaire, et de dimensions suffisantes pour que le produit 10 compressible puisse y être inséré. [59] The package 20 is for example rectangular in shape, and of sufficient dimensions so that the compressible product 10 can be inserted therein.
[60] Comme cela sera explicité plus loin, l’emballage 20 peut comprendre avantageusement une encoche 22 formée sur les deux feuilles de l’emballage 20 à partir d’un bord 21 afin de faciliter l'ouverture de la poche. [60] As will be explained below, the package 20 can advantageously comprise a notch 22 formed on the two sheets of the package 20 from an edge 21 in order to facilitate the opening of the pocket.
[61 ] Plus précisément, l'emballage 20 est par exemple obtenu en assemblant deux feuilles sensiblement identiques et rectangulaires le long de trois bords, les quatrièmes bords définissant une ouverture vers l’intérieur de l’emballage 20. Le produit 10 compressible est alors placé à l’intérieur de l’emballage 20 par l’ouverture. [61] More precisely, the packaging 20 is for example obtained by assembling two substantially identical and rectangular sheets along three edges, the fourth edges defining an opening towards the interior of the packaging 20. The compressible product 10 is then placed inside the package 20 through the opening.
[62] L'ensemble est ensuite placé dans une machine de mise sous vide. Le corps 11 étant en mousse, lors de la mise sous vide, l'air dans les alvéoles ou pores est retiré, diminuant le volume du corps 1 1. Grâce notamment au fait que le corps 1 1 est monobloc, lors de la mise sous vide, le corps 1 1 se déforme uniformément, limitant l'apparition de plis sur le corps 11 qui se répercuteraient en plis de la membrane 12 et en déformation des motifs 13 ou des messages sur la membrane 12. [62] The assembly is then placed in a vacuum machine. The body 11 being made of foam, when evacuating, the air in the cells or pores is withdrawn, reducing the volume of the body 1 1. Thanks in particular to the fact that the body 1 1 is in one piece, during the setting under empty, the body 11 deforms uniformly, limiting the appearance of folds on the body 11 which would be reflected in folds of the membrane 12 and in deformation of the patterns 13 or messages on the membrane 12.
[63] Afin de limiter davantage l'apparition de plis, la compression sous vide du produit 10 compressible dans l’emballage 20 peut être accompagnée d’une compression mécanique. [63] To further limit the occurrence of wrinkles, the vacuum compression of the compressible product 10 in the package 20 may be accompanied by mechanical compression.
[64] Une fois que la mise sous vide est faite, l'ouverture dans l'emballage 20 est refermée, également par thermo-soudage, l'ensemble constituant alors le produit 1 emballé. [64] Once the evacuation is made, the opening in the package 20 is closed, also by heat-sealing, the whole then constituting the product 1 packaged.
[65] Eventuellement, le produit 10 compressible peut être accompagné d’une plaque rigide, c'est-à-dire plus rigide que le produit 10 compressible, insérée à l’intérieur de l’emballage 20 et servant de support au produit 10 compressible. Par rigide, on entend ici que la plaque ne se déforme pas lors de la mise sous vide. De préférence, la plaque rigide est en contact avec une face arrière de l'objet 10 compressible, c'est-à-dire avec une face du produit 10 compressible qui ne présente pas de message et/ou de motifs Ainsi, le produit compressible est posé sur la plaque rigide, et l'ensemble est placé dans l'emballage 20. Lors de la mise sous vide, le produit 10 compressible est comprimé contre la plaque rigide, pouvant limiter davantage la formation de plis sur l’objet 10 compressible. La plaque rigide est par exemple en carton ou en plastique. La plaque rigide peut être transparente ou non. [65] Optionally, the compressible product 10 may be accompanied by a rigid plate, that is to say more rigid than the compressible product 10, inserted inside the packaging 20 and serving as a support for the product 10. compressible. By rigid is meant here that the plate does not deform during the vacuum. Preferably, the rigid plate is in contact with a rear face of the compressible object 10, i.e. with a face of the compressible product 10 which does not present any message and / or patterns Thus, the compressible product is placed on the rigid plate, and the whole is placed in the packaging 20. During the evacuation, the compressible product 10 is compressed against the rigid plate, which may further limit the formation of folds on the compressible object. The rigid plate is for example made of cardboard or plastic. The rigid plate may or may not be transparent.
[66] Le produit 1 emballé est particulièrement adapté pour faire partie d'une carte 30 de vœux. [66] The packaged product 1 is particularly suited to form part of a greeting card.
[67] Plus précisément, la carte 30 de vœux comprend au moins un produit 1 emballé relié à au moins une enveloppe 31. [67] More precisely, the greeting card 30 comprises at least one packaged product 1 connected to at least one envelope 31.
[68] L'enveloppe 31 est par exemple réalisée en papier carton, matière facile à plier, à découper et à imprimer, et à coût peu élevé. [68] The envelope 31 is for example made of cardboard paper, a material easy to fold, cut and print, and inexpensive.
[69] Selon un mode de réalisation qui est celui illustré en détail aux figures 6 et 7, l'enveloppe 31 est de forme générale rectangulaire, correspondant à la forme rectangulaire de l’emballage 20 du produit 1 emballé, et comprend deux feuillets 32, 33 : un feuillet 32 dit avant et un feuillet 33 dit arrière. [69] According to an embodiment which is that illustrated in detail in Figures 6 and 7, the envelope 31 is of generally rectangular shape, corresponding to the rectangular shape of the packaging 20 of the packaged product 1, and comprises two sheets 32 , 33: a sheet 32 says before and a sheet 33 says back.
[70] Le feuillet 32 avant comprend une face 34 avant sur laquelle une zone 35 peut être prévue pour porter un message, imprimé ou manuscrit. Le feuillet 32 avant est plié le long de trois bords de manière à former des languettes 36 rabattues contre la face 37 arrière. Une patte 38 de fermeture est prévue le long du quatrième bord afin de refermer l’enveloppe 31 , comme cela sera explicité plus loin. [70] The front sheet 32 comprises a front face 34 on which an area 35 can be provided to carry a message, printed or handwritten. The front sheet 32 is folded along three edges so as to form tabs 36 folded against the rear face 37. A closing tab 38 is provided along the fourth edge in order to close the envelope 31, as will be explained later.
[71 ] Le feuillet 32 avant comprend une ouverture 39 dont la forme et les dimensions sont adaptées pour laisser le produit 10 compressible visible au moins en partie lorsque le produit 1 emballé est placé dans l'enveloppe 30. Ainsi, selon le premier mode de réalisation, l’ouverture 39 est en forme de cœur. [71] The front sheet 32 comprises an opening 39, the shape and dimensions of which are adapted to leave the compressible product 10 visible at least in part when the packaged product 1 is placed in the envelope 30. Thus, according to the first method of embodiment, the opening 39 is heart-shaped.
[72] Le feuillet 33 arrière comprend également une face 40 avant, destinée à faire face à la face 37 arrière du feuillet 32avant. Par exemple, la face 40 avant du feuillet 33 arrière est collée le long des languettes 36 du feuillet 32 avant. [72] The rear sheet 33 also comprises a front face 40, intended to face the rear face 37 of the 32 front sheet. For example, the front face 40 of the rear sheet 33 is glued along the tabs 36 of the front sheet 32.
[73] La face 41 arrière du feuillet 33 arrière est par exemple destinée à supporter des messages. Par exemple, la face 41 arrière peut présenter une première zone 42 dans laquelle l'émetteur de la carte de vœux peut laisser un message manuscrit au destinataire, ou écrire l'adresse du destinataire. Une deuxième zone 43 peut comprendre des inscriptions imprimées concernant des informations par exemple relatives à la carte 30 ou au produit 1 emballé, par exemple un mode d’emploi. [74] Lorsque les deux feuillets 32, 33 sont assemblés par collage le long des languettes 36, le produit 1 emballé est inséré dans l’enveloppe 31 par l'ouverture, et placé de sorte que l’objet 10 compressible est visible par l’ouverture 39. Eventuellement, le produit 1 emballé peut être fixé de manière amovible à l'enveloppe pour le maintenir dans une position assurant que l'objet 10 compressible est visible par l’ouverture 39. Par exemple, le produit 1 emballé est collé dans l’enveloppe 31. La patte 38 du premier feuillet 32 est alors rabattue contre la face 41 arrière du deuxième feuillet 33 et collée, de manière à refermer l'enveloppe[73] The rear face 41 of the rear sheet 33 is for example intended to support messages. For example, the rear face 41 can have a first zone 42 in which the sender of the greeting card can leave a handwritten message for the recipient, or write the recipient's address. A second zone 43 may comprise printed inscriptions relating to information, for example relating to the card 30 or to the packaged product 1, for example a user manual. [74] When the two sheets 32, 33 are assembled by gluing along the tabs 36, the packaged product 1 is inserted into the envelope 31 through the opening, and placed so that the compressible object 10 is visible by the 'opening 39. Optionally, the packaged product 1 can be removably attached to the casing to hold it in a position ensuring that the compressible object 10 is visible through the opening 39. For example, the packaged product 1 is glued. in the envelope 31. The tab 38 of the first sheet 32 is then folded against the rear face 41 of the second sheet 33 and glued, so as to close the envelope
31. 31.
[75] Eventuellement, la carte 30 de vœux peut être placée dans une pochette plastique transparent afin de la protéger. Lorsque l’émetteur veut envoyer la carte 30, il la sort au préalable du sac et remplit éventuellement les zones 35 et 42 pour le destinataire. Une enveloppe classique, adjointe à la carte 30 de vœux dans la pochette, peut être utilisée pour y placer la carte 30 et pour porter l'adresse du destinataire. La carte 30 de vœux est ainsi protégée lors de son envoi. [75] Optionally, the greeting card can be placed in a transparent plastic sleeve in order to protect it. When the issuer wants to send the card 30, it first takes it out of the bag and optionally fills in zones 35 and 42 for the recipient. A conventional envelope, attached to the greeting card 30 in the sleeve, can be used to place the card 30 therein and to carry the recipient's address. The greeting card is thus protected when it is sent.
[76] Lorsque le destinataire reçoit la carte 30, il aperçoit le produit emballé par l’ouverture[76] When the recipient receives card 30, he sees the packaged product through the opening
9. Notamment, il aperçoit les motifs sur la membrane 12. Il lui suffit d’ouvrir l'enveloppe 31 pour extraire le produit 1 emballé, éventuellement en exerçant un léger effort pour briser la fixation du produit 10 emballé dans l’enveloppe 30. Ensuite, le destinataire peut ouvrir l’emballage 12, par exemple en déchirant l’emballage 12 en s'aidant de l’encoche 22. Dès que l’emballage 12 est ouvert, le produit 10 compressible se retrouve à la pression atmosphérique. L’air rentre de nouveau dans les pores ou alvéoles de la mousse du corps 11 et le produit 10 compressible reprend en quelques secondes son volume initial, de manière sensiblement uniforme, pouvant provoquer un effet de surprise agréable chez le destinataire. Par exemple, le produit 1 emballé, avec le produit 10 compressible sous vide, présente une épaisseur inférieure à 3 cm, et de préférence encore inférieure à 1 cm, par exemple de 0,5 cm, tandis que le produit 10 compressible à la pression atmosphérique, sorti de l’emballage 12, présente une épaisseur de plusieurs centimètres, par exemple au moins 5 cm. 9. In particular, he sees the patterns on the membrane 12. All he has to do is open the envelope 31 to extract the packaged product 1, possibly by exerting a slight force to break the attachment of the product 10 packaged in the envelope 30. Then, the recipient can open the package 12, for example by tearing the package 12 with the help of the notch 22. As soon as the package 12 is opened, the compressible product 10 is found at atmospheric pressure. The air re-enters the pores or alveoli of the foam of the body 11 and the compressible product 10 returns to its initial volume in a few seconds, in a substantially uniform manner, which can cause a pleasant surprise effect in the recipient. For example, the packaged product 1, with the vacuum-compressible product 10, has a thickness of less than 3 cm, and more preferably less than 1 cm, for example 0.5 cm, while the pressure-compressible product 10 atmospheric, taken out of the package 12, has a thickness of several centimeters, for example at least 5 cm.
[77] Des variantes de réalisation d’enveloppe sont envisageables. Par exemple, l’enveloppe 31 peut ne pas comprendre d’ouverture 39, ou les deux feuillets 32, 33 de l’enveloppe 31 peuvent être reliés uniquement le long d’un bord, à la manière d’un livret. Un seul produit 1 emballé ou plusieurs peuvent être associés à une enveloppe 31. [77] Alternative envelope embodiments are possible. For example, the envelope 31 may not include an opening 39, or the two sheets 32, 33 of the envelope 31 may be joined only along one edge, like a booklet. A single packaged product 1 or several can be associated with an envelope 31.
[78] Le produit 1 emballé permet ainsi l'envoi par voie postale d’un produit 10 compressible en lui conférant les dimensions adaptées. [79] En outre, le corps 11 en matériau poreux et monobloc, éventuellement accompagné de la plaque rigide dans l’emballage 20, limite l’apparition de piis lors de la mise sous vide, et assure que lorsque le produit 10 compressible est remis à ia pression atmosphérique, il se regonfle pour reprendre son volume initial rapidement et sensiblement uniformément, même après plusieurs mois sous vide. [78] The packaged product 1 thus makes it possible to send a compressible product 10 by post by giving it the appropriate dimensions. [79] In addition, the body 11 of porous and one-piece material, possibly accompanied by the rigid plate in the packaging 20, limits the appearance of piis during the evacuation, and ensures that when the compressible product 10 is returned at atmospheric pressure, it re-inflates to its initial volume quickly and substantially uniformly, even after several months under vacuum.
[80] De plus, la membrane 12 peut être personnalisée facilement, par exemple en fonction du lieu de séjour de l’émetteur pendant ses vacances, ou de l’occasion pour laquelle l’émetteur envoi la carte 30. La technique d’impression par sublimation d’un tissu pour réaliser la membrane 12 permet un grand choix dans les motifs d’impression, et permet d’adapter facilement le procédé d’impression en fonction des motifs. Lorsqu’un message 14 est porté par la membrane 12, celui-ci peut être coordonné avec les éventuels messages sur l’enveloppe 31. En outre, la technique d’impression par sublimation confère une précision d’impression élevée, permettant d'imprimer par exemple des photos pour un rendu esthétique agréable. [80] In addition, the membrane 12 can be easily personalized, for example according to the place of residence of the issuer during his vacation, or the occasion for which the issuer sends the card 30. The printing technique by sublimation of a fabric to produce the membrane 12 allows a wide choice in the printing patterns, and allows the printing process to be easily adapted as a function of the patterns. When a message 14 is carried by the membrane 12, the latter can be coordinated with any messages on the envelope 31. In addition, the sublimation printing technique provides high printing precision, making it possible to print. for example photos for a pleasant aesthetic rendering.
[81] Ainsi, les motifs et messages imprimés aussi bien sur la membrane 12 que sur l'enveloppe 31 peuvent être facilement adaptés et coordonnés. [81] Thus, the patterns and messages printed both on the membrane 12 and on the envelope 31 can be easily adapted and coordinated.
[82] L’objet 10 compressible peut prendre une grande variété de forme. [82] The compressible object 10 can take a wide variety of forms.
[83] Par exemple, selon un deuxième mode de réalisation, le produit 10 compressible comprend deux corps 11 monoblocs chacun placé dans une membrane 12 comme précédemment. Les deux membranes 12 sont reliées l’une à l’autre [83] For example, according to a second embodiment, the compressible product 10 comprises two monobloc bodies 11 each placed in a membrane 12 as above. The two membranes 12 are connected to each other
[84] Dans ce qui suit, les mêmes références sont reprises pour désigner des éléments identiques ou présentant les mêmes caractéristiques que celles décrites pour le premier mode de réalisation. [84] In what follows, the same references are used to designate elements which are identical or have the same characteristics as those described for the first embodiment.
[85] Selon ce deuxième mode de réalisation, le produit 10 compressible est en forme de chausson. A cet effet, il comprend un premier corps 11 placé dans une première membrane 12 en tissu, formant une semelle 50 du chausson, et un deuxième corps 1 1 placé dans une deuxième membrane 12 en tissu, et formant une sangle 51 du chausson. La semelle 50 et la sangle 51 sont reliées par couture de la première membrane 1 avec ia deuxième membrane [85] According to this second embodiment, the compressible product 10 is in the form of a liner. For this purpose, it comprises a first body 11 placed in a first membrane 12 of fabric, forming a sole 50 of the liner, and a second body 11 placed in a second membrane 12 of fabric, and forming a strap 51 of the liner. The sole 50 and the strap 51 are connected by stitching the first membrane 1 with the second membrane
12. 12.
[86] Chaque membrane 12 enveloppe un unique corps 11 compressible, de manière à être en contact avec l’ensemble de la surface extérieur du corps 11 compressible correspondant. [87] La membrane 12 de la semelle 50 peut être réalisée en reliant un morceau 50a de tissu imprimé comme précédemment, avec un morceau 50b de tissu présentant des propriétés antidérapantes, et destiné à venir en contact avec le sol. [86] Each membrane 12 envelops a single compressible body 11, so as to be in contact with the entire outer surface of the corresponding compressible body 11. [87] The membrane 12 of the sole 50 can be produced by connecting a piece 50a of fabric printed as above, with a piece 50b of fabric having non-slip properties, and intended to come into contact with the ground.
[88] Comme précédemment, le produit 10 compressible est placé dans un emballage 20 sous forme de poche et mis sous vide. Le produit 1 emballé ainsi obtenu est associé à une enveloppe 31 comprenant une ouverture 39 correspondant à la forme du chausson de sorte que lorsque le produit 1 emballé est placé dans l’enveloppe, le produit 10 compressible est visible par l’ouverture 39. [88] As before, the compressible product 10 is placed in a package 20 in the form of a bag and evacuated. The packaged product 1 thus obtained is associated with an envelope 31 comprising an opening 39 corresponding to the shape of the liner so that when the packaged product 1 is placed in the envelope, the compressible product 10 is visible through the opening 39.
[89] Comme chacun des deux corps 11 est placé dans une membrane 12 qui lui est propre, la compression et le gonflement s'effectuent uniformément pour la semelle 50 et la sangle 51 , comme décrit pour le premier mode de réalisation. [89] As each of the two bodies 11 is placed in a membrane 12 which is specific to it, the compression and the inflation take place uniformly for the sole 50 and the strap 51, as described for the first embodiment.
[90] Une fois regonflé, le chausson est utilisable comme un vrai chausson. [90] Once re-inflated, the liner can be used like a real liner.
[91] Selon un troisième mode de réalisation, le produit 10 compressible comprend un corps 1 1 monobloc de forme sensiblement rectangulaire, placé dans une membrane 12 également de forme sensiblement rectangulaire, de manière à former le produit 10 compressible sous forme d’un coussin. [91] According to a third embodiment, the compressible product 10 comprises a one-piece body 1 1 of substantially rectangular shape, placed in a membrane 12 also of substantially rectangular shape, so as to form the compressible product 10 in the form of a cushion .
[92] De même que précédemment, les mêmes références sont reprises pour désigner des éléments identiques ou présentant les mêmes caractéristiques que celles décrites pour le premier mode de réalisation. [92] As before, the same references are used to designate elements which are identical or have the same characteristics as those described for the first embodiment.
[93] Le produit 10 compressible est placé sous vide dans un emballage 20 sous forme de poche en matière transparente, laissant les motifs et ou les messages portés par la membrane 12 visibles. La membrane 12 est obtenue par exemple, comme dans le premier mode de réalisation, en cousant deux morceaux de tissus de dimensions et de forme sensiblement identiques. [93] The compressible product 10 is placed under vacuum in a package 20 in the form of a bag made of transparent material, leaving the patterns and / or messages carried by the membrane 12 visible. The membrane 12 is obtained for example, as in the first embodiment, by sewing two pieces of fabric of substantially identical dimensions and shape.
[94] Le produit 1 emballé ainsi obtenu est associé à une enveloppe 31 de manière à former une carte 30 de vœux. [94] The packaged product 1 thus obtained is associated with an envelope 31 so as to form a greeting card 30.
[95] La carte 30 de vœux permet ainsi de transmettre à la fois un message écrit et un présent concret. Grâce notamment au corps 11 monobloc, le présent comprimé sous vide reste parfaitement reconnaissable dans la carte 30, et il n'est pas indispensable d’apporter un ou plusieurs éléments rigidifiants. De plus, le regonflement du corps 11 monobloc lorsque mis à la pression atmosphérique est homogène, procurant un effet agréable et de surprise au destinataire. [95] The greeting card 30 thus makes it possible to transmit both a written message and a concrete present. Thanks in particular to the one-piece body 11, the present vacuum tablet remains perfectly recognizable in the card 30, and it is not essential to provide one or more stiffening elements. In addition, the re-inflation of the one-piece body 11 when brought to atmospheric pressure is homogeneous, providing a pleasant and surprising effect to the recipient.
[96] La technique d’impression par sublimation du tissu de la membrane 12 est flexible, c'est-à-dire qu’elle permet de changer rapidement les motifs d’impression. Elle permet ainsi la production de produits 10 compressibles avec une grande variété de motifs, et donc d’adapter facilement les motifs en fonction d’évènements ou de lieux. [96] The technique of printing by sublimation of the fabric of the membrane 12 is flexible, that is to say it allows rapid change of the printing patterns. It thus allows producing compressible products with a wide variety of patterns, and thus easily adapting the patterns according to events or locations.
