Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of packaging more specifically formed by a flexible material, for example plastic, of generally parallelepipedal shape, capable of containing folded products such as tissues, towels or hand towels or any type of product. absorbent paper based on cellulose fibers.
  • the products contained inside such packages are folded, entangled or not, stacked and compressed inside the package. They thus form a stack from which a product can be extracted when the package is partially opened; the user then pulls on the product or a part of the product that protrudes from the stack.
  • the first problem associated with this type of packaging concerns the pressure force exerted by the stack of products on the two opposite sides of the package.
  • the initially compressed products inside the package exert on its walls a force perpendicular to their main folding surface.
  • the opening (or openings) of the package is disposed parallel to this surface, it undergoes a force induced by this compression.
  • the dispensing opening must not be too large vis-à-vis the total surface of the face concerned, to prevent untimely exit of the products through said opening. It can not be too small either, because the products must be able to be extracted from the packaging without too much friction that could crease and / or tear for example.
  • the packaging can be used either alone or inside a dispenser. This potential dual use creates constraints and problems that known packages can not solve.
  • the dispensing opening of a package according to the invention should be reduced to the maximum for hygienic issues, but must remain wide enough to allow gripping easy and direct products.
  • the present invention relates to a flexible package of parallelepipedal shape for flexible flat elements, superimposed, entangled or not, forming a stack of axis XX, comprising a frangible zone capable of constituting an initially closed distribution opening and delimited a line embrittlement, said area extending on three sides of the package.
  • said frangible zone is circular or substantially circular in diameter D, the major part of said zone is centered on one of the faces of the so-called dispensing package, perpendicular to the axis XX of stacking and the other two parts of the frangible zone are disposed on two sides of the package parallel to the axis XX of the stack.
  • M1 and M2 being the distances respectively measured, according to the length of the distribution face, between the ends of the frangible zone and those of the face.
  • M1 and M2 may be between 10 and 15 mm.
  • O 1 and O 2 distances respectively measured along the stacking axis XX between an edge of the distribution face and the end of the frangible zone; O 1 and O 2 being between 5 mm and the initial height H of the package measured along the stacking axis XX.
  • the dimensions O 1 and O 2 are of the order of H / 2.
  • the package according to the invention further comprises a compression means along the axis XX of the stack.
  • the packaging as shown on the figure 1 contains folded and entangled sheets of absorbent paper which form a stack of axis XX.
  • the package comprises a frangible zone 1 capable of constituting a dispensing opening, initially closed, and delimited preferentially by perforations 2 or pre-cuts.
  • a frangible zone is here an area delimited by a line according to which the material (forming the frangible zone) is weakened in order to be able to form a sharp cutting line when a user pulls on said frangible zone.
  • the packaging may consist for example of a plastic film of polypropylene or polyethylene thickness 5 to 50 .mu.m. Any equivalent material, both flexible and resistant, can be envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the frangible zone 1 is of ovoid shape and extends essentially on one of the faces of the package perpendicular to the axis XX of the stack; the frangible zone further extends on two faces 12, 13 of the package parallel to the axis XX.
  • zone 1 is circular, of diameter D and is positioned as shown in FIG. figure 3 .
  • zone 1 is centered on the face 11 of the so-called distribution face package 11 of which it occupies the greater part and it further extends on the two faces 12, 13 in portions of a circle.
  • a holding zone 3 is provided on either side of the frangible zone 1.
  • This holding zone substantially corresponds to two parallel lateral strips 31, 32 located on either side of the zone. frangible 1 and bounded externally by the edges of the distribution face 11 of the package.
  • said holding zone 3 will comprise at least the zones near the four corners of the distribution face 11.
  • a frangible zone 1 of circular shape is preferred. Its manufacture is very easy.
  • the frangible zone 1 also extends on two other faces of the package, contiguous to the distribution face 11.
  • the zone 1 extends over two faces 12, 13 corresponding to the height H of the stack.
  • P is the width of the package, that is to say the width of the stacked sheets, O 1 and O 2 being the respective distances measured along the axis XX of the stack, between an edge of the face of distribution 11 and the end of the frangible zone 1.
  • the figure 3 precisely illustrates the values D, P, L, H, O 1 and O 2 , in relation to and in addition to the Figures 1 and 2 .
  • the improvement relates to a compression means of the package along the axis XX of the stack.
  • the compression means comprises two elastic elements 5 surrounding said package, arranged on either side of the frangible zone 1 as visible on the figure 2 .
  • the compression means 5 makes it possible to align and keep in contact the opening 1 and the surface of the top sheet of the stack, a sheet contiguous to the opening which will be the first extracted, whatever the height of the stack.
  • the frangible zone 1 is circular and extends over three faces of the package, namely the distribution face 11 and the two adjacent faces 12 and 13 which extend over the height of the pile of leaves.
  • the dashed areas 6 correspond to the fold lines of the package, which delimit the edges of the parallelepiped formed by the stacking of folded products.
  • frangible zone 1 could be ovoid, oval or other, while having this provision.
  • the distances M1, M2 must respect certain limit values, in particular to keep a surface in adequacy with the two intended use cases which are the single packaging and the packaging in a distributor.
  • O 1 , O 2 must respect limit values with respect in particular to height H.
