Description

La présente invention concerne un élément de support et de manutention pour emballage, notamment pour un emballage en une matière semi-rigide telle que le carton ondulé. Elle concerne également les emballages équipés de tels éléments.The present invention relates to a support and handling element for packaging, in particular for packaging made of a semi-rigid material such as corrugated cardboard. It also relates to packaging equipped with such elements.

On sait que l'on utilise de plus en plus fréquemment, dans l'industrie et le commerce, des conditionnements dits caisses-palettes, comprenant un emballage en carton ou en carton ondulé, dont le fond est attenant à une palette de manutention. Il est ainsi possible de déplacer aisément ces conditionnements à l'aide de chariots à fourche et de les amener ainsi jusque sur les lieux d'exposition en vente des articles qu'ils contiennent, lesquels demeurent à l'intérieur de l'emballage, qu'il suffit d'ouvrir pour les mettre à la disposition des acheteurs éventuels.It is known that more and more frequently, in industry and commerce, so-called pallet boxes are used, comprising cardboard or corrugated cardboard packaging, the bottom of which is attached to a handling pallet. It is thus possible to easily move these packages using forklifts and bring them to the exhibition places for sale of the items they contain, which remain inside the packaging, which 'just open to make them available to potential buyers.

Ce type de caisses-palettes connaît actuellement un grand succès et elles sont de plus en plus utilisées sur les lieux de vente en grandes surfaces, tels que les hyper- ou supermarchés.This type of pallet boxes is currently enjoying great success and they are used more and more at points of sale in supermarkets, such as hypermarkets or supermarkets.

Un autre type d'emballage s'est récemment développé, car il présente de grands avantages au remplissage et à l'exposition en vente des articles conditionnés, sans pouvoir toutefois être associé aux palettes traditionnelles de manutention. Il s'agit d'un conditionnement en carton ou carton ondulé, dans lequel des bandes attenantes à la base des parois latérales sont repliées perpendiculairement à ces parois et assemblées entre elles dans cette position pour supporter une plaque de carton ou similaire qui constitue le fond. Celui-ci peut ainsi être déplacé verticalement à l'intérieur de l'emballage à l'aide d'un système à piston et il est donc possible, lorsque l'emballage est vide, d'amener ce fond à affleurer l'ouverture de l'emballage pour le charger d'une première couche d'articles à conditionner, de l'abaisser ensuite de l'épaisseur de cette couche pour déposer une seconde couche, et ainsi de suite jusqu'à ce que l'emballage soit plein et que le fond repose sur les parties attenantes aux parois latérales. Inversement, pour l'exposition en vente des articles ainsi conditionnés, il est possible de faire reposer le fond de l'emballage sur un dispositif comportant un moyen élastique de rappel, qui soulève ce fond à mesure que l'emballage se vide des articles qu'il contient, de manière à toujours maintenir les articles exposés à la partie supérieure de l'emballage, où ils sont visibles par les acheteurs et facilement accessibles à ceux-ci.Another type of packaging has recently developed, since it has great advantages for filling and displaying sales of packaged items, without however being able to be combined with traditional handling pallets. It is a packaging made of cardboard or corrugated cardboard, in which strips adjoining the base of the side walls are folded perpendicularly to these walls and assembled together in this position to support a cardboard plate or the like which forms the bottom. . This can thus be moved vertically inside the packaging using a piston system and it is therefore possible, when the packaging is empty, to cause this bottom to be flush with the opening of the packaging to load it with a first layer of articles to be packaged, then lower it by the thickness of this layer to deposit a second layer, and so on until the packaging is full and the bottom rests on the parts adjoining the side walls. Conversely, for the display of articles thus conditioned for sale, it is possible to rest the bottom of the packaging on a device comprising an elastic return means, which lifts this bottom as the packaging empties of the articles that 'it contains, so as to always keep the articles exposed at the top of the packaging, where they are visible to buyers and easily accessible to them.

Malgré leurs réels avantages, ces conditionnements présentent l'inconvénient de ne pouvoir être rendus solidaires d'une palette classique, car celle-ci empêcherait d'accéder au fond mobile. L'absence d'un fond fixe en position interdit également de ménager dans ce fond des parties parallèles en saillie, renforcées intérieurement par des éléments de matière plastique, conférant à ce fond un profil de palette qui permet de déplacer l'emballage avec un engin à fourche.Despite their real advantages, these packages have the drawback of not being able to be made integral with a conventional pallet, since the latter would prevent access to the movable bottom. The absence of a fixed bottom in position also prohibits the provision of parallel protruding parts in this bottom, internally reinforced by plastic elements, giving this bottom a pallet profile which makes it possible to move the packaging with a machine. fork.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, FR-A-2 342 904 a proposé d'équiper une latte supérieure d'une palette classique d'une plaque de carton équipée de lignes de pliages permettant de l'introduire dans un emballage du type ci-dessus pour servir ensuite de fond à cet emballage. Cette palette interdit toutefois d'utiliser des moyens élastiques pour soulever le fond de l'emballage.To remedy this drawback, FR-A-2 342 904 has proposed equipping an upper batten of a conventional pallet with a cardboard plate fitted with fold lines enabling it to be placed in a package of the above type. to then serve as the background for this packaging. This pallet, however, prohibits the use of elastic means to lift the bottom of the packaging.

FR-A-2 158 359 décrit des éléments de support d'un emballage comprenant deux lattes parallèles réunies par des plots et équipées de languettes en contreplaqué destinées à être engagées dans des fentes ménagées dans des volets attenants aux parois latérales et constituant le fond de l'emballage. Outre que ces éléments de support sont d'un emploi complexe, ils ne sont pas spécifiquement destinés à une utilisation avec des emballages sans fond.FR-A-2 158 359 describes support elements for a package comprising two parallel slats joined by studs and equipped with plywood tongues intended to be engaged in slots formed in flaps adjoining the side walls and constituting the bottom of packaging. In addition to the fact that these support elements are complex to use, they are not specifically intended for use with bottomless packaging.

La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un élément de support, qui puisse être fixé sur deux bandes de support du fond attenantes à deux parois parallèles d'un emballage du type que l'on vient de rappeler, pour former ainsi une sorte de palette sans partie supérieure, qui se prête à un accès par tous les côtés par un engin de manutention à fourche, et qui n'interdit pas l'accès à la partie de fond mobile pour les dispositifs utilisés au remplissage ou lors de l'exposition en vente.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a support element, which can be fixed on two bottom support strips. adjoining two parallel walls of a package of the type just mentioned, to thus form a sort of pallet without upper part, which lends itself to access from all sides by a forklift, and which does not prohibit access to the movable bottom part for the devices used for filling or during the sale exhibition.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un élément autonome en une matériau rigide pour le support et la manutention d'un emballage, comprenant une latte supérieure sur la face inférieure de laquelle sont fixés deux plots disposés de manière à permettre le passage des dents d'une fourche d'un engin de manutention, et une latte inférieure, parallèle à la latte supérieure et solidaire desdits plots, caractérisé en ce qu'un panneau en une matière semi-rigide est fixé sur la face supérieure de la latte supérieure et déborde latéralement de chaque côté de celle-ci par une partie apte à être rendue solidaire d'un emballage à équiper de cet élément.To this end, the invention relates to an autonomous element made of a rigid material for the support and handling of a package, comprising an upper slat on the lower face of which are fixed two studs arranged so as to allow the passage of teeth of a fork of a handling machine, and a lower batten, parallel to the upper batten and integral with said studs, characterized in that a panel made of a semi-rigid material is fixed on the upper face of the upper batten and projects laterally on each side thereof by a part capable of being secured to a package to be fitted with this element.

Cet élément de support pourra être en bois ou en matière plastique.This support element may be made of wood or plastic.

Le panneau en matière semi-rigide pourra être en carton, en carton ondulé ou en matière plastique souple. Avantageusement, les parties débordant latéralement de chaque côté de la latte supérieure seront articulées sur la partie centrale du panneau par une ligne de pliage disposée le long de l'arête latérale correspondante de cette latte. De préférence, les parties débordant latéralement auront une forme recangulaire et une dimension transversale égale ou inférieure à environ la moitié de la largeur de la latte supérieure, de manière à pouvoir être repliées à plat sur cette latte et à y être maintenues en position, par exemple par un ruban auto-collant, afin de pouvoir livrer l'élément de support aux utilisateurs sous une forme peu encombrante et facile à employer.The panel of semi-rigid material may be made of cardboard, corrugated cardboard or flexible plastic material. Advantageously, the parts projecting laterally on each side of the upper slat will be articulated on the central part of the panel by a fold line disposed along the corresponding lateral edge of this slat. Preferably, the laterally protruding parts will have a rectangular shape and a transverse dimension equal to or less than about half the width of the upper slat, so that they can be folded flat on this slat and held there in position, by example by a self-adhesive tape, in order to be able to deliver the support element to the users in a space-saving and easy-to-use form.

Pour les raisons que l'on exposera ci-après, le panneau en matière souple ou semi-rigide pourra avantageusement n'occuper que la partie centrale de la latte de l'élément de support dont il est solidaire. Ledit panneau pourra être fixé sur cette latte par tout moyen connu dans la technique, notamment par collage ou agrafage.For the reasons which will be explained below, the panel of flexible or semi-rigid material may advantageously occupy only the central part of the slat of the support element of which it is integral. Said panel may be fixed to this slat by any means known in the art, in particular by gluing or stapling.

L'élément de support conforme à l'invention est destiné à être rendu solidaire de la partie inférieure d'un emballage, pour y constituer, avec un élément parallèle, une palette dont la partie supérieure est constituée par la base de l'emballage, qui permet de déplacer celui-ci à l'aide d'organes usuels de manutention et de le faire reposer sur ces éléments pour le stockage ou l'exposition en vente des éléments qu'il contient.The support element according to the invention is intended to be made integral with the lower part of a package, to constitute there, with a parallel element, a pallet whose upper part is formed by the base of the package, which allows it to be moved using conventional handling devices and to do so rely on these elements for the storage or display for sale of the elements it contains.

Un autre objet de l'invention est par conséquent constitué par un emballage comprenant un fond et au moins deux parois parallèles, équipé de deux éléments de support de ce type, lesdits éléments étant disposés en parallèle au-dessous dudit emballage avec la tranche latérale de la latte sur laquelle est fixé le panneau en une matière semi-rigide la plus éloignée de la partie centrale dudit fond disposée respectivement sensiblement dans le plan desdites parois parallèles, l'une des parties débordantes du panneau semi-rigide desdits éléments étant fixée sur la paroi parallèle associée, tandis que l'autre partie débordante est fixée sur une partie de la base de l'emballage.Another object of the invention is therefore constituted by a package comprising a bottom and at least two parallel walls, equipped with two support elements of this type, said elements being arranged in parallel below said packaging with the lateral edge of the slat on which the panel is fixed in a semi-rigid material furthest from the central part of said bottom disposed respectively substantially in the plane of said parallel walls, one of the projecting parts of the semi-rigid panel of said elements being fixed on the associated parallel wall, while the other projecting part is fixed to a part of the base of the package.

Dans le cas d'un emballage à fond fixe, la partie débordante du panneau souple ou en une matière semi-rigide qui n'est pas fixée sur une paroi de l'emballage pourra être fixée directement sur le fond.In the case of a packaging with a fixed bottom, the projecting part of the flexible panel or of a semi-rigid material which is not fixed to a wall of the packaging may be fixed directly to the bottom.

Dans le cas d'un emballage à fond mobile reposant sur des bandes attenantes aux parois latérales et repliées perpendiculairement à celles-ci, les éléments supports seront disposés au-dessous de deux de ces bandes parallèles et la partie débordante du panneau souple qui n'est pas fixée à la paroi correspondante sera repliée contre cette bande vers l'intérieur de l'emballage et fixée sur ladite bande, en vue d'être interposée entre celle-ci et le fond. Celui-ci pourra ainsi être déplacé à l'intérieur de l'emballage pour les opérations de remplissage mentionnées ci-dessus, sans interférer avec les éléments de support, qui permettront néanmoins de déplacer l'emballage au moyen d'engins de manutention.In the case of a movable bottom packaging resting on strips adjoining the side walls and folded perpendicular to them, the support elements will be arranged below two of these parallel strips and the projecting part of the flexible panel which does not is not fixed to the corresponding wall will be folded against this strip towards the inside of the packaging and fixed on said strip, in order to be interposed between the latter and the bottom. This can thus be moved inside the packaging for the filling operations mentioned above, without interfering with the support elements, which will nevertheless allow the packaging to be moved by means of handling equipment.

Bien entendu, la partie centrale du panneau de matière souple pourra elle aussi être rendue solidaire de la base de l'emballage, en étant collée par exemple sur la bande au-dessous de laquelle est disposé l'élément de support.Of course, the central part of the panel of flexible material can also be made integral with the base of the packaging, by being glued, for example, to the strip below which the support element is disposed.

Celui-ci pourra donc être rendu solidaire de façon simple de l'emballage et être livré aux utilisateurs indépendamment de l'emballage sur lequel il pourra être aisément fixé, après mise en volume de celui-ci.It can therefore be made integral so simple packaging and be delivered to users regardless of the packaging on which it can be easily attached, after volume setting thereof.

Les dessins annexés, qui n'ont pas de caractère limitatif, sont destinés à illustrer l'invention. Sur ces dessins:The accompanying drawings, which are not intended to be limiting, are intended to illustrate the invention. In these drawings:

La figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'une forme de réalisation préférée d'un élément de support conforme à l'invention;Figure 1 is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of a support member according to the invention;

La figure 2 est une vue analogue de cet élément avec les parties latérales du panneau souple rabattues sur la latte supérieure de cet élément;Figure 2 is a similar view of this element with the side portions of the flexible panel folded over the upper batten of this element;

La figure 3 est une vue en perspective de la partie inférieure d'un emballage sur lequel cet élément de support peut être fixé ;Figure 3 is a perspective view of the lower part of a package on which this support member can be fixed;

La figure 4 représente ce même emballage équipé de deux éléments de support disposés en parallèle.FIG. 4 represents this same packaging equipped with two support elements arranged in parallel.

Comme on le voit sur la figure 1, l'élément de support 1 conforme à l'invention comprend deux lattes parallèles 2, réunies par deux entretoises 3, l'une disposée au niveau de l'extrémité des lattes 1 et l'autre décalée par rapport à l'autre extrémité, de manière à permettre une introduction ou un dégagement aisé en toute position des dents d'une fourche d'un engin de manutention.As can be seen in FIG. 1, the support element 1 according to the invention comprises two parallel slats 2, joined by two spacers 3, one disposed at the end of the slats 1 and the other offset relative to the other end, so as to allow easy introduction or disengagement in any position of the teeth of a fork of a handling machine.

Sur la face externe de la latte supérieure 2 est fixé par collage ou agrafage un panneau rectangulaire 4 en un matériau souple ou semi-rigide, dont deux parties analogues 4 a, 4 b, articulées sur la partie centrale 4 c par une ligne de pliage et dont la largeur est égale au plus sensiblement à la moitié de celle de la latte, débordent latéralement par rapport à celle-ci. Il est ainsi possible de replier à plat les parties 4 a, 4 b, sur la partie centrale 4 c, comme représenté sur la figure 2, en vue de stocker l'élément 1 ou de le livrer aux utilisateurs. Une bande auto-collante peut éventuellement être appliquée sur les parties 4 a, 4 b pour les maintenir en position repliée sur la partie 4 c. On notera que le panneau 4 ne recouvre que la partie centrale de la latte supérieure 2.On the external face of the upper slat 2 is fixed by gluing or stapling a rectangular panel 4 made of a flexible or semi-rigid material, two similar parts 4 a , 4 b , articulated on the central part 4 c by a fold line and the width of which is at most substantially equal to half that of the slat, project laterally relative to the latter. It is thus possible to fold flat the parts 4 a , 4 b , on the central part 4 c , as shown in FIG. 2, in order to store the element 1 or deliver it to the users. A self-adhesive strip can optionally be applied to parts 4 a , 4 b to keep them in the folded position on part 4 c . Note that panel 4 does not cover than the central part of the upper slat 2.

Les éléments de support 1 sont destinés à équiper une caisse en carton ondulé 6, dont la partie inférieure est représentée sur la figure 3. Dans cette caisse, les parties inférieures 7 a et 8 a des parois 7 et 8 sont rabattues vers l'intérieur de la caisse perpendiculairement à ces parois et sont assemblées entre elles, par agrafage ou collage de leurs extrémités. Les rabats 7 a et 8 a forment ainsi des entablements servant de supports à une plaque (non représentée) disposée à l'intérieur de la caisse 6, dont elle constitue le fond et qui peut ainsi être déplacée verticalement à l'intérieur de cette caisse à l'aide d'un système à piston, comme exposé ci-dessus. On notera que les rabats 8 a sont à l'extérieur des rabats 7 a et que leurs extrémités forment une surépaisseur par rapport à ces derniers.The support elements 1 are intended to equip a corrugated cardboard box 6, the lower part of which is shown in FIG. 3. In this box, the lower parts 7 a and 8 have walls 7 and 8 are folded inwards of the body perpendicular to these walls and are assembled together, by stapling or gluing their ends. The flaps 7 a and 8 a thus form entablatures serving as supports for a plate (not shown) arranged inside the box 6, of which it constitutes the bottom and which can thus be moved vertically inside this box using a piston system, as discussed above. It will be noted that the flaps 8 a are outside the flaps 7 a and that their ends form an additional thickness with respect to the latter.

Pour rendre les supports 1 solidaires de la caisse 6 dont la plaque de fond a été enlevée, on dispose les rabats 7 a à l'aplomb des lattes supérieures 2 et l'on amène la partie centrale 4 c du panneau 4 en contact avec la partie des rabats 7 a séparant les extrémités des rabats 8 a, tandis que ces extrémités viennent au contact des parties libres de la latte supérieure 2. On compense ainsi les surépaisseurs des extrémités des rabats 8 a. Les parties en contact peuvent être rendues solidaires les unes des autres par collage ou agrafage.To make the supports 1 integral with the body 6 from which the bottom plate has been removed, the flaps 7 a are placed vertically above the upper slats 2 and the central part 4 c of the panel 4 is brought into contact with the part of the flaps 7 a separating the ends of the flaps 8 a , while these ends come into contact with the free parts of the upper slat 2. This compensates for the excess thickness of the ends of the flaps 8 a . The parts in contact can be made integral with one another by gluing or stapling.

On applique également la partie latérale 4 a du panneau 4 contre la paroi 7 correspondante, sur laquelle on la fixe par collage ou agrafage.The lateral part 4 a of the panel 4 is also applied against the corresponding wall 7, on which it is fixed by gluing or stapling.

On replie enfin la partie latérale 4 b du panneau 4 contre la face du rabat 7 a disposée à l'intérieur de la caisse et on l'en rend solidaire par collage ou agrafage.Finally, it folds the side portion 4b of the panel 4 against the face of the flap 7 is disposed inside the body and is in making integral by gluing or stapling.

La caisse 6 ainsi équipée des éléments de support parallèles 1 (figure 4), dans laquelle la plaque de fond peut être mise en place sur les rabats 7 a et 8 a, est ainsi d'une maniabilité comparable à celle d'une caisse-palette conventionnelle, tout en présentant une partie de fond parfaitement accessible aux dispositifs utilisés pour soulever ou abaisser la plaque de fond.The body 6 thus equipped with parallel support elements 1 (FIG. 4), in which the bottom plate can be placed on the flaps 7 a and 8 a , is thus of a maneuverability comparable to that of a body conventional pallet, while presenting a part perfectly accessible to the devices used to raise or lower the bottom plate.

On notera la simplicité du mode d'assemblage des éléments de support 1 et de la caisse 6, qui permet de livrer ces organes non assemblés aux utilisateurs, en laissant à ceux-ci le soin de monter la caisse et d'y fixer les éléments de support.Note the simplicity of the method of assembling the support elements 1 and the body 6, which makes it possible to deliver these unassembled members to the users, leaving it to them to mount the body and fix the elements therein. of support.
