Definitions
- the present invention relates to a packaging case according to the preamble of claim 1 as well as a blank according to the preamble of claim 8 and in the technical field of overconditioning preconditioned products that should be able to be packaged or presented, generally in unitary state, in order to facilitate the perception for the customers, storage and presentation on the shelves or gondolas for sale.
- the first proposals were based on the constitution of a shaped case tubular casing whose transverse ends can be closed by folding of flaps to define a confinement volume in which a product, generally unitary and preconditioned, is arranged.
- protection of the unitary product should be considered. preconditioned that it is important to preserve the risk of crushing, likely to result, in particular, from storage handling, as well as stacking during presentation.
- Document DE 2990202U describes a case according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a blank for the constitution of the packaging case, blank which can be made from a sheet of material first without producing a high drop and at a relatively cost price per unit low.
- the packaging case according to the invention is characterized in that it is constituted by an envelope with four sides internally comprising two successive separate compartments, each opening substantially set back from one of the transverse ends of the envelope, communicating in the extension of one another, one called “reception”, having a constant cross section smaller than that of the envelope, while the other says “guide”, has a cross section substantially equal to that of envelope but decreasing to an internal open cross section communicating with the receiving compartment.
- Fig. 1 is a developed plan view of a blank according to the invention for obtaining a packaging case.
- Fig. 2 is a perspective highlighting certain operational phases of the constitution of the case from the blank according to FIG. 1.
- Figs. 3 and 4 are transverse views taken substantially along planes III-III and IV-IV of FIG. 2.
- Fig. 5 is a developed plan view of the blank according to FIG. 1 but illustrating an alternative embodiment.
- Fig. 6 is a transverse view, similar to FIG. 3, but highlighting the constructive characteristic falling within the blank according to FIG. 5.
- Fig. 1 represents a precut blank, generally designated by the reference 1 and produced from a sheet of suitable raw material, such as compact cardboard or even polypropylene.
- Fig. 1 shows the blank 1 seen by its so-called internal face, that is to say that which, after conformation, will define the interior of the packaging case obtained.
- the blank 1, of generally rectangular shape has four fold lines 2, 3, 4 and 5, which are marked parallel to each other to define four panels 6, 7, 8 and 9, of generally rectangular shape, the panels 6 and 8 being called “intermediate", while the panels 7 and 9 are called “main”.
- the panels 6 to 9 are arranged alternately and, in the example illustrated, the panels 6 and 8 have the same width l which is however less than the width L, which is also identical to the panels 7 and 9.
- the panels 6 to 9 are intended to allow, by the formation of the fold lines 2, 3, 4 and 5, the constitution of a casing of tubular nature whose open transverse ends can be closed by means of flaps 10 provided foldable tabs 11 and which extend, beyond fold lines 12, at the end of the main panels 7 and 9, for example. Closing the transverse ends can also involve the presence of flaps 13 extending beyond fold lines 14 marking the transverse ends of the intermediate panels 6 and 8. As can be seen in FIG. 1, the transverse fold lines 12 and 14 are marked in the same alignment substantially, being perpendicular to lines 2 to 5.
- the blank 1 is provided with an extension 15 which extends beyond the fold line 5 called, for this reason, "hinge".
- the extension 15 comprises a connecting strip 16 beyond which extend two parts 17 and 18 which are separated from each other by a cutout 19 of general transverse nature, executed according to a broken line layout.
- the first part 17 is articulated to the connecting strip 16 by a fold line 20 marked parallel to the line 5 between a transverse edge 21 and the cutout 19.
- the part 17 comprises a second fold line 22 marked, parallel to the line 20 between the transverse edge 21 and the projection angle 23 formed by the cut 19.
- the lines 20 and 22 define, in the first part 17, a rectangular panel 24 having a width L 1 is less than the width l of a main panel, such as 9.
- the first part 17 has a plywood line 25 which is marked, parallel to the line 22, to define a strip 26 whose width l 1 is identical to width l 2 of the strip 16 between the fold lines 5 and 20. As is apparent from the appraisal of FIG. 1, the width l 2 is less than the width l of an intermediate panel, such as the panel 8.
- the counter-folding line 25 defines, in the first part 17, an extreme bonding tab 27 which carries, on its inner face, that is to say that corresponding to FIG. 1, an adhesive product capable of ensuring its connection with the zone 27 1 of the main panel 9.
- the zone 27 1 can also be provided with a layer of adhesive to replace that carried by the adhesive tab 27.
- the second part 18 extends beyond a fold and articulation line 30 which is marked to delimit, in the corresponding part, the connecting strip 16.
- the line 30 is marked, starting from the corresponding transverse edge 31 of the second part 18, to be inclined, in the direction of the cut, in a broken line 19, so that the width l 3 of the connecting strip, taken at the transverse edge 31, is substantially equal to or very slightly less than the width l of an intermediate panel, such as the panel 8.
- the second part 18 has a second fold line 32 which has the characteristic of being inclined in a convergent manner relative to the line 30 in the direction of the cut 19.
- the fold lines 30 and 32 thus delimit a trapezoidal panel 33 , the small base 34 of which is partially delimited by the cutout 19 and has a width less than l 4 than the width L 1 of the rectangular panel 24 of the first pa rtie 17.
- the width L 2 of the large base of the trapezoidal panel 33 is substantially equal, or even slightly less, to the width L of a main panel, such as 9.
- the fold line 32 is marked, in the second part 18, so as to delimit an end wing 35 of also trapezoidal shape, the small base of which ends at the salient angle of the cutout 19 in broken line.
- the parts 17 and 18 can be considered independent and capable of being folded each separately on the part of the corresponding folding and articulation line, that is to say 20 for the first part 17 and 30 for the second part 18.
- the fold and articulation line 5 is formed to raise, in the direction of the arrow f 1 ( fig. 2 ), the connecting strip 16 with respect to the adjacent main panel 9.
- the fold line 20 is formed to place the rectangular panel 24 substantially parallel to the main panel 9 and at a distance from the latter.
- the fold line 22 is then also formed in the same direction, so that the strip 26 is oriented substantially at right angles to the internal face of the panel 9.
- the fold line 25 is marked on the reverse of the direction of the fold lines 20 and 22, so as to form the bonding tab 27 made integral, by the adhesive means provided or any other equivalent means, with the internal face of the main panel 9.
- the conformation, as said above, of the first part 17 results in delimiting a compartment C 1 whose height and width are less than the widths L of the panel 9 and l of the intermediate panel 8.
- the fold line 30 is formed to fold the trapezoidal panel 33 substantially parallel to the main panel 9, then the fold line 32 is then formed to orient the wing 35 towards the internal face of the panel main 9.
- an opening of the cut in broken line 19 occurs at the same time as the constitution of a compartment C 2 which, although of rectangular cross section, is in the form of a pseudo-funnel whose large open base extends substantially in the plane or set back from the corresponding transverse end of the future case and whose small open base is close to the corresponding open entry section of the compartment C 1 by presenting, as appears from FIGS. 3 and 4, a so-called "internal" section 40, smaller than the rectangular cross section of compartment C 1 .
- the small base of the compartment C 2 is, in part, located inside the inlet section of the compartment C 1 .
- compartment C 2 The main function of compartment C 2 is to guide a unitary product which would be engaged in the direction of the arrow f 2 . Such a guiding and centering function results from the funnel-shaped conformation of the compartment C 2 which leads in a certain, centered and guided manner, the unit product to be packaged in the direction of the reception compartment C 1 .
- compartment C 2 can be twofold when the unit product to be packaged has an adapted conformation, for example similar to that of a tube whose cross section corresponding to the bottom is wider than the cross section corresponding to the opening. access, for example closed by a removable plug.
- a later phase of forming the case then consists in marking the fold line 4, then the lines 3 and 2, so as to wind the corresponding panels 8, 7 and 6, in the direction of the arrow f 3 , to place the intermediate panel 8 parallel to the connecting strip 16, the main panel 7 parallel to the panel 9 and the intermediate panel 6 against the outer face of the connecting strip 16 to which this panel is fixed by any suitable means, such as interposition of a layer of adhesive product.
- the wrapping of the various panels to constitute the perimeter tubular envelope of the definitive case can occur before or after filling and this wrapping is then followed by the folding of the flaps 10 and of the tongues 11, or even beforehand of the flaps 13, so as to close the transverse ends of the envelope, which closures also seal the cross-sections of the compartments C 1 and C 2 .
- the transverse edges 21 and 31 of the parts 17 and 18 are produced so that, after conformation, the extreme transverse cross sections of the compartments C 1 and C 2 extend substantially back with respect to the open transverse ends of the envelope perimeter, which are determined by the alignments of the fold lines 12 and 14, in particular.
- Fig. 5 shows an alternative embodiment in which the fold line 32 of the second part 18 is marked between two cutouts 41 and 42, which are executed inside the trapezoidal panel 33, respectively from the transverse edge 31 and from the cutout broken line 19, so as to provide, respectively, a tab 43 and a heel 44.
- the execution characteristic of the cutouts 41 and 42 is to define an alignment 45 between the ends of the tab 41 and the heel 44, so as to give the wing 35, no longer a trapezoidal shape as in the example according to FIG. 1, but a rectangular shape whose total width l 5 is then close to or very slightly less than the width l of an intermediate panel such as 8.
- compartment C 2 is always carried out, as in the previous example, by folding lines 30 and 32 and results in leaving, in the plane of the wing 35, the tab 43 and the heel 44 which, as illustrated in fig. 6, then come to be interposed between the internal faces of the main panels 9 and 7 for which they constitute anti-crushing spacers.
- the blank according to FIG. 1 or fig. 5 is in a relatively simple form, cut, creased and flat and can be obtained, at low cost, with a low drop rate in a sheet of raw material, such as compact cardboard.
- the conformation of the extension 15 and, in particular, the constitution of the two parts 17 and 18, make it possible, in an automatic machine, to form the compartments C 1 and C 2 , the succession of which provides the guiding of the lining, which can also be carried out in an automatic machine by engagement of a unitary product preconditioned in the direction of arrow f 2 from the large open base of the funnel C 2 .
- the blank according to FIG. 1 or fig. 5 is suitable for automatic machine formation of the perimeter envelope by the panels 6, 7, 8 and 9 which surround the compartments C 1 and C 2 .
- Another advantage of the structural arrangement according to the invention lies in the fact that the preconditioned unit product can, depending on the form it adopts, be extracted, indifferently, from one or other of the compartments C 1 or C 2 .

Description
La présente invention est relative à un étui de conditionnement selon le préambule de la revendication
1 ainsi qu'un flan selon le préambule de la revendication 8
et au domaine technique du surconditionnement
de produits préconditionnés qu'il convient de pouvoir emballer ou présenter,
généralement à l'état unitaire, de manière à en faciliter la perception pour la clientèle,
le stockage et la présentation sur les rayons ou gondoles d'offre à la vente.The present invention relates to a packaging case according to the preamble of
Un tel domaine technique n'est pas nouveau en soi et a fait l'objet d'un nombre assez important de propositions en faisant intervenir des étuis de conditionnement obtenus par pliage d'un flan prédécoupé et rainé, le plus généralement réalisé à base d'une matière première appropriée et relativement bon marché telle, notamment, que le carton compact.Such a technical field is not new in itself and has been the subject of a number fairly large number of proposals involving packaging cases obtained by folding a precut and grooved blank, most generally made from an appropriate and relatively inexpensive raw material such as, in particular, that compact cardboard.
Les propositions premières ont été basées sur la constitution d'un étui en forme d'enveloppe tubulaire dont les extrémités transversales peuvent être fermées par repliage de rabats pour définir un volume de confinement dans lequel un produit, généralement unitaire et préconditionné, est disposé.The first proposals were based on the constitution of a shaped case tubular casing whose transverse ends can be closed by folding of flaps to define a confinement volume in which a product, generally unitary and preconditioned, is arranged.
Pour les fonctions qui viennent d'être rappelées, un tel étui donne satisfaction.For the functions which have just been recalled, such a case is satisfactory.
Cependant, un tel étui ainsi constitué ne peut pas être considéré comme satisfaisant dès lors que des fonctions supplémentaires sont à prendre en considération.However, such a case thus constituted cannot be considered as satisfactory when additional functions are to be taken into account consideration.
Parmi ces fonctions il convient de considérer une protection du produit unitaire préconditionné qu'il importe de préserver des risques d'écrasement, susceptibles de résulter, notamment, des manipulations de stockage, ainsi que des gerbages lors de la présentation.Among these functions, protection of the unitary product should be considered. preconditioned that it is important to preserve the risk of crushing, likely to result, in particular, from storage handling, as well as stacking during presentation.
Parmi ces fonctions, il convient aussi de prendre en compte la nécessité de pouvoir réaliser sur machines automatiques, d'une part, la constitution de l'étui de conditionnement à partir d'un flan pré-préparé et, d'autre part, le garnissage en opération automatique d'un tel étui.Among these functions, it is also necessary to take into account the need to ability to realize on automatic machines, on the one hand, the constitution of the case packaging from a pre-prepared blank and, on the other hand, the filling in automatic operation of such a case.
Dans certaines propositions de la technique antérieure, il a été évoqué la
possibilité de conformer, à l'intérieur de l'étui de conditionnement, une sorte de
compartiment interne sensé répondre à l'objectif premier. Le document DE 2990202U décrit un étui selon le préambule de la revendication 1.In some proposals of the prior art, it has been mentioned the
possibility of conforming, inside the packaging case, a kind of
internal compartment supposed to meet the primary objective. Document DE 2990202U describes a case according to the preamble of
Si, dans certains cas, il peut être considéré qu'une telle proposition peut apporter, en partie, une protection au produit unitaire préconditionné, en revanche, la fonction de constitution automatique du compartiment lors de la formation de l'étui et la fonction de garnissage automatique avec le produit unitaire préconditionné s'opèrent toujours de façon difficile et sont même parfois impossibles à conduire.If, in certain cases, it can be considered that such a proposal may provide, in part, protection to the preconditioned unit product, on the other hand, the function of automatic constitution of the compartment during the formation of the case and the automatic filling function with the preconditioned unit product are always difficult to operate and sometimes even impossible to drive.
C'est justement un des objectifs de l'invention que de répondre à ces deux exigences en proposant un nouvel étui de conditionnement pour produits préconditionnés, qui offre la garantie de permettre une conformation en machine automatique de l'étui et un garnissage de ce dernier aussi par machine automatique, sans risque de détérioration de l'étui, sans risque de détérioration ou de dégradation du produit unitaire préconditionné et, le tout, à des cadences de production relativement élevées.It is precisely one of the objectives of the invention to respond to these two requirements by offering a new packaging case for products preconditioned, which guarantees to allow machine conformation automatic packaging and lining of the latter also by automatic machine, without risk of damage to the case, without risk of deterioration or deterioration of the preconditioned unit product and, all, at production rates relatively high.
Un autre objet de l'invention est de proposer un flan pour la constitution de l'étui de conditionnement, flan qui peut être fabriqué à partir d'une feuille de matière première sans produire de chute élevée et à un prix de revient unitaire relativement faible.Another object of the invention is to propose a blank for the constitution of the packaging case, blank which can be made from a sheet of material first without producing a high drop and at a relatively cost price per unit low.
Pour atteindre les objectifs ci-dessus, l'étui de conditionnement selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué par une enveloppe à quatre côtés comportant intérieurement deux compartiments successifs, séparés, s'ouvrant chacun sensiblement en retrait de l'une des extrémités transversales de l'enveloppe, communiquant dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre, l'un dit "de réception", ayant une section transversale constante inférieure à celle de l'enveloppe, tandis que l'autre, dit "de guidage", présente une section droite transversale sensiblement égale à celle de l'enveloppe mais décroissant jusqu'à une section droite ouverte interne communiquant avec le compartiment de réception.To achieve the above objectives, the packaging case according to the invention is characterized in that it is constituted by an envelope with four sides internally comprising two successive separate compartments, each opening substantially set back from one of the transverse ends of the envelope, communicating in the extension of one another, one called "reception", having a constant cross section smaller than that of the envelope, while the other says "guide", has a cross section substantially equal to that of envelope but decreasing to an internal open cross section communicating with the receiving compartment.
L'invention a encore pour objet un flan pour la constitution de l'étui de conditionnement, un tel flan étant caractérisé en ce que l'un des panneaux extrêmes est pourvu d'un prolongement comprenant :
- une bande de liaison parallèle audit panneau auquel elle est liée par une ligne de pliage et d'articulation,
- et, articuliées chacune à ladite bande :
- une première partie possédant deux lignes de pliage et une ligne de contrepliage, s'étendant parallèlement entre elles et avec la ligne de pliage et d'articulation,
- une seconde partie séparée de la première par une découpe en ligne brisée et possédant deux lignes de pliage qui sont marquées de manière convergente en direction de la découpe en ligne brisée.
- a connecting strip parallel to said panel to which it is linked by a folding and articulation line,
- and, each articulated to said band:
- a first part having two fold lines and a counter fold line, extending parallel to each other and with the fold and articulation line,
- a second part separated from the first by a broken line cut and having two fold lines which are marked convergently in the direction of the broken line cut.
Diverses autres caractéristiques ressortent de la description faite ci-dessous en référence aux dessins annexés qui montrent, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, des formes de réalisation et de mise en oeuvre de l'objet de l'invention.Various other characteristics appear from the description given below in reference to the accompanying drawings which show, by way of nonlimiting examples, embodiments and implementation of the subject of the invention.
La fig. 1 est une vue en plan développé d'un flan conforme à l'invention pour l'obtention d'un étui de conditionnement. Fig. 1 is a developed plan view of a blank according to the invention for obtaining a packaging case.
La fig. 2 est une perspective mettant en évidence certaines phases opératoires de la constitution de l'étui à partir du flan selon la fig. 1. Fig. 2 is a perspective highlighting certain operational phases of the constitution of the case from the blank according to FIG. 1.
Les fig. 3 et 4 sont des vues transversales prises sensiblement selon les plans III-III et IV-IV de la fig. 2. Figs. 3 and 4 are transverse views taken substantially along planes III-III and IV-IV of FIG. 2.
La fig. 5 est une vue en plan développé du flan selon la fig. 1 mais illustrant une variante de réalisation. Fig. 5 is a developed plan view of the blank according to FIG. 1 but illustrating an alternative embodiment.
La fig. 6 est une vue transversale, analogue à la fig. 3, mais mettant en évidence la caractéristique constructive relevant du flan selon la fig. 5. Fig. 6 is a transverse view, similar to FIG. 3, but highlighting the constructive characteristic falling within the blank according to FIG. 5.
La fig. 1 représente un flan prédécoupé, désigné dans son ensemble par la
référence 1 et réalisé à partir d'une feuille de matière première appropriée, telle que
du carton compact ou encore du polypropylène. Fig. 1 represents a precut blank, generally designated by the
La fig. 1 représente le flan 1 vu par sa face dite interne, c'est-à-dire celle qui, après conformation, définira l'intérieur de l'étui de conditionnement obtenu. Fig. 1 shows the blank 1 seen by its so-called internal face, that is to say that which, after conformation, will define the interior of the packaging case obtained.
Le flan 1, de forme générale rectangulaire, possède quatre lignes de pliage 2, 3,
4 et 5, qui sont marquées parallèlement entre elles pour définir quatre panneaux 6, 7,
8 et 9, de forme générale rectangulaire, les panneaux 6 et 8 étant dénommés
"intermédiaires", alors que les panneaux 7 et 9 sont dénommés "principaux". Les
panneaux 6 à 9 sont disposés de façon alternée et, dans l'exemple illustré, les
panneaux 6 et 8 présentent une même largeur l qui est toutefois inférieure à la
largeur L également identique des panneaux 7 et 9. The blank 1, of generally rectangular shape, has four
Les panneaux 6 à 9 sont destinés à permettre, par la formation des lignes de
pliage 2, 3, 4 et 5, la constitution d'une enveloppe à caractère tubulaire dont les
extrémités transversales ouvertes peuvent être fermées par l'intermédiaire de rabats
10 pourvus de languettes repliables 11 et qui s'étendent, au-delà de lignes de pliage
12, en bout des panneaux principaux 7 et 9, par exemple. La fermeture des
extrémités transversales peut aussi faire intervenir la présence de volets 13 s'étendant
au-delà de lignes de pliage 14 marquant les extrémités transversales des panneaux
intermédiaires 6 et 8. Comme cela ressort de la fig. 1, les lignes de pliage
transversales 12 et 14 sont marquées dans le même alignement sensiblement, en étant
perpendiculaires aux lignes 2 à 5. The
Selon l'invention, le flan 1 est pourvu d'un prolongement 15 qui s'étend au-delà
de la ligne de pliage 5 dite, pour cette raison, "d'articulation".According to the invention, the blank 1 is provided with an
Le prolongement 15 comprend une bande de liaison 16 au-delà de laquelle
s'étendent deux parties 17 et 18 qui sont séparées l'une de l'autre par une découpe 19
à caractère général transversal, exécutée selon un tracé en ligne brisée.The
La première partie 17 est articulée à la bande de liaison 16 par une ligne de
pliage 20 marquée parallèlement à la ligne 5 entre un bord transversal 21 et la
découpe 19. La partie 17 comporte une seconde ligne de pliage 22 marquée,
parallèlement à la ligne 20, entre le bord transversal 21 et l'angle saillant 23 que
forme la découpe 19. Les lignes 20 et 22 définissent, dans la première partie 17, un
panneau rectangulaire 24 dont la largeur L1 est inférieure à la largeur l d'un panneau
principal, tel que 9. The
La première partie 17 possède une ligne de contrepliage 25 qui est marquée,
parallèlement à la ligne 22, pour définir un bandeau 26 dont la largeur l1 est
identique à largeur l2 de la bande 16 comprise entre les lignes de pliage 5 et 20.
Comme cela ressort de l'appréciation de la fig. 1, la largeur l2 est inférieure à la
largeur l d'un panneau intermédiaire, tel que le panneau 8. The
La ligne de contrepliage 25 définit, dans la première partie 17, une patte de
collage extrême 27 qui porte, sur sa face intérieure, c'est-à-dire celle correspondant à
la fig. 1, un produit adhésif à même d'assurer sa liaison avec la zone 271 du panneau
principal 9. La zone 271 peut aussi être pourvue d'une couche d'adhésif en
remplacement de celle portée par la patte de collage 27. The
La seconde partie 18 s'étend au-delà d'une ligne de pliage et d'articulation 30
qui est marquée pour délimiter, dans la partie correspondante, la bande de liaison 16.
La ligne 30 est marquée, à partir du bord transversal correspondant 31 de la seconde
partie 18, pour être inclinée, en direction de la découpe, en ligne brisée 19, de telle
manière que la largeur l3 de la bande de liaison, prise au bord transversal 31, soit
sensiblement égale ou très légèrement inférieure à la largeur l d'un panneau
intermédiaire, tel que le panneau 8. La seconde partie 18 possède une seconde ligne
de pliage 32 qui présente la caractéristique d'être inclinée de façon convergente par
rapport à la ligne 30 en direction de la découpe 19. Les lignes de pliage 30 et 32
délimitent ainsi un panneau trapézoïdal 33 dont la petite base 34 est en partie
délimitée par la découpe 19 et possède une largeur inférieure l4 à la largeur L1 du
panneau rectangulaire 24 de la première partie 17. En revanche, la largeur L2 de la
grande base du panneau trapézoïdal 33 est sensiblement égale, voire légèrement
inférieure, à la largeur L d'un panneau principal, tel que 9. The
La ligne de pliage 32 est marquée, dans la seconde partie 18, de manière à
délimiter une aile extrême 35 de forme également trapézoïdale dont la petite base
aboutit à l'angle saillant de la découpe 19 en ligne brisée.The
Par la présence de la découpe 19, les parties 17 et 18 peuvent être considérées
comme indépendantes et susceptibles d'être pliées chacune séparément sur la partie
de ligne de pliage et d'articulation correspondante, c'est-à-dire 20 pour la première
partie 17 et 30 pour la seconde partie 18. By the presence of the
A partir du flan décrit ci-dessus, la constitution d'un étui de conditionnement conforme à l'invention s'opère de la façon suivante.From the blank described above, the constitution of a packaging case according to the invention operates as follows.
La ligne de pliage et d'articulation 5 est formée pour relever, dans le sens de la
flèche f1 (fig. 2), la bande de liaison 16 par rapport au panneau principal adjacent 9.
Ensuite, la ligne de pliage 20 est formée pour placer le panneau rectangulaire 24
sensiblement parallèlement au panneau principal 9 et à distance de ce dernier. La
ligne de pliage 22 est ensuite également formée dans le même sens, de manière que
le bandeau 26 soit orienté sensiblement à angle droit en direction de la face interne
du panneau 9. Enfin, la ligne de contrepliage 25 est marquée à l'envers du sens des
lignes de pliage 20 et 22, de façon à former la patte de collage 27 rendue solidaire,
par les moyens adhésifs prévus ou tout autre moyen équivalent, de la face interne du
panneau principal 9. Comme cela ressort de la fig. 2 et la considération de la fig. 3
correspondante, la conformation, comme dit ci-dessus, de la première partie 17
aboutit à délimiter un compartiment C1 dont la hauteur et la largeur sont inférieures
aux largeurs L du panneau 9 et l du panneau intermédiaire 8. The fold and articulation line 5 is formed to raise, in the direction of the arrow f 1 ( fig. 2 ), the connecting
Dans une seconde étape de formation, la ligne de pliage 30 est formée pour
replier le panneau trapézoïdal 33 sensiblement parallèlement au panneau principal 9,
puis la ligne de pliage 32 est ensuite formée pour orienter l'aile 35 en direction de la
face interne du panneau principal 9. In a second forming step, the
Par la conformation trapézoïdale du panneau 33 et de l'aile 35, une ouverture
de la découpe en ligne brisée 19 intervient en même temps que la constitution d'un
compartiment C2 qui, bien que de section transversale rectangulaire, se présente sous
la forme d'un pseudo-entonnoir dont la grande base ouverte s'étend sensiblement
dans le plan ou en retrait de l'extrémité transversale correspondante de l'étui futur et
dont la petite base ouverte est voisine de la section ouverte d'entrée correspondante
du compartiment C1 en présentant, comme cela ressort des fig. 3 et 4, une section
dite "interne" 40, inférieure à la section transversale rectangulaire du compartiment
C1. Compte tenu de la forme en ligne brisée de la découpe 19, il doit être noté que la
petite base du compartiment C2 est, en partie, située à l'intérieur de la section d'entrée
du compartiment C1. Le compartiment C2 a pour fonction principale le guidage d'un
produit unitaire qui serait engagé dans le sens de la flèche f2. Une telle fonction de
guidage et de centrage découle de la conformation en entonnoir du compartiment C2
qui conduit de façon certaine, centrée et guidée, le produit unitaire à conditionner en
direction du compartiment de réception C1. By the trapezoidal conformation of the
La fonction du compartiment C2 peut être double lorsque le produit unitaire à conditionner présente une conformation adaptée, par exemple analogue à celle d'un tube dont la section droite, correspondant au fond, est plus large que la section droite correspondant à l'ouverture d'accès, par exemple obturée par un bouchon amovible.The function of compartment C 2 can be twofold when the unit product to be packaged has an adapted conformation, for example similar to that of a tube whose cross section corresponding to the bottom is wider than the cross section corresponding to the opening. access, for example closed by a removable plug.
Une phase ultérieure de formation de l'étui consiste ensuite à marquer la ligne
de pliage 4, puis les lignes 3 et 2, de manière à enrouler les panneaux correspondants
8 ,7 et 6, dans le sens de la flèche f3, pour placer le panneau intermédiaire 8
parallèlement à la bande de liaison 16, le panneau principal 7 parallèlement au
panneau 9 et le panneau intermédiaire 6 contre la face extérieure de la bande de
liaison 16 sur laquelle ce panneau est fixé par tout moyen approprié, tel que
l'interposition d'une couche de produit adhésif. A later phase of forming the case then consists in marking the
L'enveloppement des différents panneaux pour constituer l'enveloppe tubulaire
périmétrique de l'étui définitif peut intervenir avant ou après garnissage et cet
enveloppement est alors suivi du repliage des rabats 10 et des languettes 11, voire
préalablement des volets 13, de manière à fermer les extrémités transversales de
l'enveloppe, lesquelles fermetures obturent également les sections droites
transversales des compartiments C1 et C2. The wrapping of the various panels to constitute the perimeter tubular envelope of the definitive case can occur before or after filling and this wrapping is then followed by the folding of the
Comme cela ressort de l'appréciation de la fig. 1, les bords transversaux 21 et
31 des parties 17 et 18 sont réalisés de manière que, après conformation, les sections
droites transversales extrêmes des compartiments C1 et C2 s'étendent sensiblement
en retrait par rapport aux extrémités transversales ouvertes de l'enveloppe
périmétrique, lesquelles sont déterminées par les alignements des lignes de pliage 12
et 14, notamment.As is apparent from the appraisal of FIG. 1, the
La fig. 5 montre une variante de réalisation dans laquelle la ligne de pliage 32
de la seconde partie 18 est marquée entre deux découpes 41 et 42, qui sont exécutées
à l'intérieur du panneau trapézoïdal 33, respectivement depuis le bord transversal 31
et depuis la découpe en ligne brisée 19, de manière à ménager, respectivement, une
patte 43 et un talon 44. La caractéristique d'exécution des découpes 41 et 42 est de
définir un alignement 45 entre les extrémités de la patte 41 et du talon 44, de manière
à conférer à l'aile 35, non plus une forme trapézoïdale comme dans l'exemple selon la
fig. 1, mais une forme rectangulaire dont la largeur totale l5 est alors voisine ou très
légèrement inférieure à la largeur l d'un panneau intermédiaire tel que 8. Fig. 5 shows an alternative embodiment in which the
La formation du compartiment C2 s'effectue toujours, comme dans l'exemple
précédent, par pliage des lignes 30 et 32 et aboutit à laisser former, dans le plan de
l'aile 35, la patte 43 et le talon 44 qui, comme illustré par la fig. 6, viennent alors
s'interposer entre les faces internes des panneaux principaux 9 et 7 pour lesquels ils
constituent des entretoises anti-écrasement.The formation of compartment C 2 is always carried out, as in the previous example, by folding
La présence du talon 44, dans la partie médiane correspondant à l'ouverture de
la découpe 19 entre les compartiments C1 et C2, vient renforcer la résistance
mécanique affaiblie qui pourrait être considérée comme résultant de la découpe 19
pour garantir, ou tout au moins préserver, le produit unitaire préconditionné d'un
risque de détérioration par pression ou écrasement de l'enveloppe périmétrique
constituée par les panneaux 6, 7, 8 et 9. The presence of the
Comme cela ressort de ce qui précède, le flan selon la fig. 1 ou la fig. 5, se présente sous une forme relativement simple, découpée, rainée et à plat et peut être obtenu, à faible coût, avec un taux de chutes peu élevé dans une feuille de matière première, telle que du carton compact.As is apparent from the above, the blank according to FIG. 1 or fig. 5, is in a relatively simple form, cut, creased and flat and can be obtained, at low cost, with a low drop rate in a sheet of raw material, such as compact cardboard.
La conformation du prolongement 15 et, notamment, la constitution des deux
parties 17 et 18, permettent de réaliser, en machine automatique, la formation des
compartiments C1 et C2 dont la succession fournit la garantie d'un guidage du
garnissage, qui peut aussi être réalisé en machine automatique par engagement d'un
produit unitaire préconditionné dans le sens de la flèche f2 à partir de la grande base
ouverte de l'entonnoir C2. The conformation of the
De même, il doit être noté que le flan selon la fig. 1 ou la fig. 5 se prête
convenablement à une formation en machine automatique de l'enveloppe
périmétrique par les panneaux 6, 7, 8 et 9 qui entourent les compartiments C1 et C2. Likewise, it should be noted that the blank according to FIG. 1 or fig. 5 is suitable for automatic machine formation of the perimeter envelope by the
Un autre avantage de la disposition structurelle selon l'invention réside dans le fait que le produit unitaire préconditionné peut, selon la forme qu'il adopte, être extrait, indifféremment, à partir de l'un ou de l'autre des compartiments C1 ou C2. Another advantage of the structural arrangement according to the invention lies in the fact that the preconditioned unit product can, depending on the form it adopts, be extracted, indifferently, from one or other of the compartments C 1 or C 2 .
L'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples décrits et représentés car diverses modifications peuvent y être apportées sans sortir de son cadre tel que défini par les revendications annexées.The invention is not limited to the examples described and shown since various modifications can be made without departing from its framework such as defined by the appended claims.
