Description

L'invention porte sur un conditionnement pour produits présentés en emballages groupés et en particulier pour du fromage frais conditionné en pots regroupés et fermés chacun par un couvercle. Chaque pot est destiné à contenir un moule à fromage appelé faisselle présentant des perforations permettant au fromage frais de s'égoutter.The invention relates to a packaging for products presented in grouped packaging and in particular for fresh cheese packaged in jars grouped and closed each by a cover. Each pot is intended to contain a cheese mold called faisselle with perforations allowing the fresh cheese to drip.

On connaít déjà des dispositifs pour conditionner une quadrette de pots d'emballage de fromage frais selon une disposition en carré. Certains de ces dispositifs connus se présentent sous la forme de quatre anneaux en matière plastique reliés ensemble selon une disposition en carré, chaque pot étant inséré dans un anneau et chaque anneau étant conformé pour maintenir par un encliquetage un couvercle sur le pot. Un tel dispositif est en particulier connu du document de brevet EP-A-0179005, ou FR-A-2 740 432.We already know devices to condition a quadrette of pots packaging of fresh cheese in a square arrangement. Some of these known devices are in the form of four material rings plastic linked together in a square arrangement, each pot being inserted in a ring and each ring being shaped to hold by a snaps a lid onto the pot. Such a device is known in particular from Patent document EP-A-0179005, or FR-A-2 740 432.

Dans d'autres dispositifs connus, les pots sont maintenus par un film en matière plastique ou une bande en matière plastique ou en carton.In other known devices, the pots are held in place by a film plastic material or a plastic or cardboard strip.

Le but de l'invention est de proposer un autre conditionnement notamment pour des pots d'emballage de fromage frais.The object of the invention is to propose another packaging especially for jars for packaging fresh cheese.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un conditionnement pour produits présentés en emballages groupés constitué par la combinaison de pots individuels fermés chacun par un couvercle et d'un dispositif pour regrouper les pots présentant un nombre de logements égal à celui des pots à réunir, chaque pot comportant un épaulement annulaire extérieur horizontal servant de zone de butée et chaque couvercle comportant un épaulement annulaire extérieur horizontal servant de zone d'appui, caractérisé en ce que le dispositif est un panier ayant un fond à partir duquel s'élève suivant une direction axiale au moins une protubérance de forme sensiblement tronconique qui définit avec les parois latérales du panier lesdits logements destinés à recevoir chacun un pot fermé par un couvercle, en ce que le sommet de cette protubérance comporte, d'une part, une embase plane s'étendant parallèlement au fond du panier sur laquelle prend appui l'épaulement d'un pot disposé dans un logement du panier et, d'autre part, une jupe en forme de dôme solidaire de l'embase et espacée axialement de celle-ci de telle manière que le bord circulaire de ladite jupe en forme de dôme vienne pincer de façon élastique ledit épaulement du couvercle fermant ledit pot.To this end, the invention relates to packaging for products presented in grouped packages consisting of a combination of pots each closed by a cover and a device to group the pots with a number of housings equal to that of the pots to be joined, each pot with an outer annular shoulder horizontal serving as a stop zone and each cover comprising a horizontal outer annular shoulder serving as a support zone, characterized in that the device is a basket having a bottom from which rises in a axial direction at least one protrusion of substantially frustoconical shape which defines with the side walls of the basket said housings intended for each receive a jar closed by a lid, in that the top of this protuberance comprises, on the one hand, a flat base extending parallel at the bottom of the basket on which the shoulder of a pot placed in a basket housing and, on the other hand, a dome-shaped skirt integral with the base and axially spaced therefrom such that the edge circular of said dome-shaped skirt pinches elastically said shoulder of the lid closing said pot.

Un exemple de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention est décrit ci-dessous plus en détails et illustré sur les dessins.

  • La figure 1 montre selon une vue en élévation, le dispositif selon l'invention.
  • La figure 2 montre selon une vue en coupe partielle et transversale selon II-II sur la figure 1, un pot de fromage frais placé dans un logement du dispositif selon l'invention.
    • An embodiment of the device according to the invention is described below in more detail and illustrated in the drawings.
  • Figure 1 shows in an elevational view, the device according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows in a partial cross-sectional view along II-II in Figure 1, a jar of fresh cheese placed in a housing of the device according to the invention.

    • Sur la figure 1, le dispositif selon l'invention pour conditionner, par exemple en quadrette, des pots de fromage frais selon une disposition en carré est constitué par un panier 1 avec un fond 2 et quatre parois latérales 3A,3B,3C,3D inscrites dans un parallélépipède de sorte à maintenir quatre pots regroupés suivant une disposition en carré. Les parois latérales du panier 1 sont constituées, à leur partie supérieure, essentiellement par un cerclage filaire horizontal 10 relié par des branches verticales 11 au fond 2 du panier.In FIG. 1, the device according to the invention for conditioning, by example in quadrette, jars of fresh cheese according to a square arrangement consists of a basket 1 with a bottom 2 and four side walls 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D inscribed in a parallelepiped so as to hold four pots grouped in a square arrangement. The side walls of basket 1 are constituted, at their upper part, essentially by a wire frame horizontal 10 connected by vertical branches 11 to the bottom 2 of the basket.

    Comme visible sur les figures 1 et 2, le panier comporte une protubérance centrale 4 de forme sensiblement tronconique qui s'élève suivant une direction axiale A depuis le fond 2 du panier en se rétrécissant de section. Cette protubérance définit avec les parois 3A à 3D du panier quatre logements dans chacun desquels peut être placé un pot, le fond de chaque pot reposant sur le fond du panier.As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the basket has a central protuberance 4 of substantially frustoconical shape which rises according to an axial direction A from the bottom 2 of the basket narrowing in section. This protuberance defines with the walls 3A to 3D of the basket four housings in each of which can be placed a pot, the bottom of each pot resting on the bottom of the basket.

    Figure 2, on voit plus particulièrement un pot 5 en place dans un emplacement défini à l'intérieur du panier, le pot 5 étant fermé par un couvercle 6. Comme cela est connu en soi pour le conditionnement du fromage frais, le couvercle est relativement haut pour coiffer la faisselle qui est disposée à l'intérieur du pot.Figure 2, we see more particularly a pot 5 in place in a defined location inside the basket, the pot 5 being closed by a lid 6. As is known per se for the packaging of fresh cheese, the cover is relatively high to cover the dish which is arranged at inside the pot.

    Chaque pot 5 conforme à l'invention présente un épaulement annulaire horizontal 51 s'étendant radialement vers l'extérieur du pot et ayant sa périphérie intérieure raccordée au corps du pot 52 de forme sensiblement tronconique et sa périphérie extérieure raccordée à une jupe cylindrique 53 dont l'extrémité supérieure constitue le rebord supérieur du pot. L'épaulement 51 sert de zone de butée du pot dans le panier. A sa partie supérieure, le rebord supérieur du pot se termine par une zone horizontale annulaire 54 formant un épaulement s'étendant radialement vers l'extérieur du pot sur lequel prend appui le rebord supérieur de la faisselle non représentée.Each pot 5 according to the invention has an annular shoulder horizontal 51 extending radially outward from the pot and having its inner periphery connected to the body of the pot 52 of substantially shape frustoconical and its outer periphery connected to a cylindrical skirt 53 of which the upper end constitutes the upper rim of the pot. Shoulder 51 serves of the pot stop area in the basket. At its upper part, the rim top of the pot ends in an annular horizontal zone 54 forming a shoulder extending radially outward from the pot on which it rests the upper edge of the dish not shown.

    Par ailleurs, chaque couvercle 6, conforme à l'invention, se termine de son côté, à sa partie inférieure, par une jupe cylindrique 61 raccordée au corps 62 du couvercle par un épaulement annulaire horizontal 63 qui s'étend radialement vers l'extérieur du couvercle; et à son extrémité inférieure, cette jupe présente un bourrelet intérieur 64. La face extérieure de l' épaulement 63 sert de zone d'appui du panier sur le couvercle et la face intérieure de l'épaulement 63 sert de zone de butée du couvercle sur la zone annulaire horizontale 54 terminant le rebord du pot.Furthermore, each cover 6, according to the invention, ends in its side, at its lower part, by a cylindrical skirt 61 connected to the body 62 of the cover by a horizontal annular shoulder 63 which extends radially towards the outside of the cover; and at its lower end, this skirt has an inner bead 64. The outer face of the shoulder 63 serves as basket support area on the cover and the inside face of the shoulder 63 serves as a stop zone for the cover on the horizontal annular zone 54 ending the rim of the pot.

    Dès lors, il est possible d'obtenir une fermeture facile et étanche du pot 5 par le couvercle 6 par coopération de l'épaulement 63, de la jupe 61 et du bourrelet 64 du couvercle avec le rebord supérieur 54 du pot.Therefore, it is possible to obtain an easy and watertight closure of the pot 5 by the cover 6 by cooperation of the shoulder 63, the skirt 61 and the bead 64 of the cover with the upper rim 54 of the pot.

    La protubérance 4 comporte à son sommet une embase plane annulaire horizontale 40 qui s'étend sensiblement parallèlement au fond 2 du panier. Le corps de la protubérance 4 est constitué par quatre branches rigides 41 et le fond du panier est constitué de quatre cerclages 21 disposés également en carré, chaque cerclage 21 servant de zone d'appui pour le fond d'un pot 5. Les branches rigides 41 s'étendent respectivement entre un cerclage 21 et l'embase annulaire 40 suivant une disposition en carré par rapport au fond du panier.The protrusion 4 has at its top an annular flat base horizontal 40 which extends substantially parallel to the bottom 2 of the basket. The body of the protrusion 4 is constituted by four rigid branches 41 and the bottom of the basket consists of four straps 21 also arranged in square, each strapping 21 serving as a support zone for the bottom of a pot 5. The rigid branches 41 extend respectively between a hoop 21 and the base annular 40 in a square arrangement relative to the bottom of the basket.

    Par ailleurs, comme visible sur les figures 1 et 2, la protubérance 4 comporte une jupe en forme de dôme 42 qui est solidarisée à l'embase annulaire 40 par quatre branches 43 qui s'étendent suivant la direction axiale A de telle sorte que le bord circulaire de la jupe est espacé axialement de la surface supérieure de l'embase 40 d'une distance légèrement inférieure à la distance entre l'épaulement 51 d'un pot et l'épaulement 63 d'un couvercle fermant ce pot. De la sorte quand un pot 5 fermé par un couvercle 6 est disposé dans un logement du panier 1, l'épaulement 51 du pot vient en butée contre l'embase 40 de la protubérance alors que l'épaulement 63 du couvercle vient s'encliqueter sous le bord circulaire de la jupe 42 de la protubérance et est pincé de façon élastique par celui-ci ce qui assure un blocage du pot fermé par un couvercle dans le logement du panier en même temps qu'une fermeture étanche du pot par le couvercle. Comme visible sur la figure 1, les branches 43 sont réparties de façon équidistante sur la périphérie du bord circulaire de la jupe 42 et plus particulièrement suivant une disposition en carré décalée de 45° de la disposition en carré des pots dans le panier pour permettre à chaque couvercle fermant un pot de venir s'encastrer entre deux branches 43 consécutives.Furthermore, as visible in FIGS. 1 and 2, the protuberance 4 has a dome-shaped skirt 42 which is secured to the annular base 40 by four branches 43 which extend in the axial direction A so that so that the circular edge of the skirt is axially spaced from the surface upper of base 40 by a distance slightly less than the distance between the shoulder 51 of a pot and the shoulder 63 of a lid closing this pot. In this way when a pot 5 closed by a lid 6 is placed in a basket 1 housing, the shoulder 51 of the pot abuts against the base 40 of the protrusion while the shoulder 63 of the cover clicks into place under the circular edge of the skirt 42 of the protuberance and is pinched so elastic by this which ensures a blocking of the jar closed by a lid in the basket housing at the same time as a tight closure of the pot by lid. As shown in Figure 1, the branches 43 are distributed equidistant on the periphery of the circular edge of the skirt 42 and more particularly in a square arrangement offset by 45 ° from the square arrangement of pots in basket to allow each lid closing a pot to come fit between two consecutive branches 43.

    Chaque pot avec son couvercle peut par ailleurs être facilement extrait du panier en soulevant légèrement le bord circulaire souple de la jupe 4.Each jar with its lid can also be easily removed of the basket by slightly lifting the flexible circular edge of the skirt 4.

    Des bossages 12 sont prévus à la partie inférieure et à l'intérieur des logements, et plus particulièrement sur les branches 11 et 41 pour obtenir un effet de serrage du pot disposé dans un logement ; le maintien des pots dans le panier étant ainsi renforcé très simplement.Bosses 12 are provided at the lower part and inside the housing, and more particularly on branches 11 and 41 to obtain a clamping effect of the pot placed in a housing; keeping the pots in the basket being thus reinforced very simply.

    Le panier avec sa protubérance centrale 4 et la jupe 42 est réalisé en une seule pièce de préférence par moulage d'une matière plastique et est d'un faible coût de revient.The basket with its central protuberance 4 and the skirt 42 is made of a single piece preferably by molding from a plastic material and is of a low cost.

    Le fond du panier qui coïncide avec la base de la protubérance est évidé pour permettre d'empiler plusieurs paniers vides. On peut aussi prévoir des bossages 13 sur la surface extérieure des branches 11 du panier, ces bossages limitant l'encastrement des paniers quand ils sont empilés.The bottom of the basket which coincides with the base of the protrusion is hollowed out to stack several empty baskets. We can also provide bosses 13 on the outer surface of the legs 11 of the basket, these bosses limiting the embedding of baskets when they are stacked.

    Pour faciliter la manutention du panier selon l'invention, la jupe présente un perçage central 44 coaxial à l'embase annulaire 40 pour permettre le passage d'un doigt. Du fait que le fond du panier coïncidant avec la protubérance est évidé, plusieurs paniers peuvent être empilés même quand ils contiennent des pots. Le cas échéant, le perçage central dans la jupe 42 peut être remplacé par une anse sans remettre en cause cette possibilité d'empilement.To facilitate handling of the basket according to the invention, the skirt has a central bore 44 coaxial with the annular base 40 to allow the swipe of a finger. Because the bottom of the basket coincides with the protrusion is hollowed out, several baskets can be stacked even when they contain pots. If necessary, the central bore in the skirt 42 can be replaced by a handle without questioning this possibility stacking.

    Les figures 1 et 2 illustrent un panier ayant une ossature très dépouillée (y compris la protubérance), du type filiforme mais l'invention n'est pas limitée à ce type de réalisation. Il serait aussi possible d'étendre le principe de l'invention au regroupement de six ou huit pots d'emballage de fromage blanc en prévoyant deux ou trois protubérances respectivement s'élevant depuis le fond du panier.Figures 1 and 2 illustrate a basket with a very bare frame (including the protuberance), of the filiform type but the invention is not limited to this type of achievement. It would also be possible to extend the principle of the invention the grouping of six or eight jars of white cheese packaging by providing two or three protrusions respectively rising from the bottom of the basket.
