Description

L'invention concerne un récipient tel qu'une boîte, muni d'un couvercle et doté d'une bande de garantie détachable.The invention relates to a container such as a box, provided with a lid and provided with a detachable guarantee strip.

Les bandes de garantie sont utilisées pour garantir l'acheteur de la boîte que celle-ci n'a pas été ouverte avant l'achat, l'ouverture de la boîte n'étant possible qu'avec la destruction de la bande de garantie.The guarantee strips are used to guarantee the purchaser of the box that it has not been opened before the purchase, the opening of the box being possible only with the destruction of the guarantee strip.

On a déjà proposé des récipients à couvercle et bande détachable de garantie, où la fermeture du couvercle et la mise en place de la bande de garantie se font en une seule opération.Containers with a cover and a detachable guarantee strip have already been proposed, where the closing of the cover and the fitting of the guarantee strip are carried out in a single operation.

Ainsi, on connaît par le document FR-A-2 081 627 un récipient à couvercle et bande détachable de garantie dans lequel :

  • a) le bord du récipient comporte un premier profil (en fait une simple face lisse) destiné à coopérer avec un profil complémen­taire (en fait un simple bombé) prévu sur le couvercle pour assurer (par frottement) le maintien du couvercle sur le récipient en position fermée mais facilement ouvrable lorsque la bande de garantie est enlevée.
  • b) le bord du récipient comporte un second profil destiné à coopérer avec un profil complémentaire prévu sur la bande détachable, laquelle est solidaire et arrachable du couvercle, pour assurer le maintien du couvercle sur le récipient en position fermée et difficilement ouvrable.
Thus, document FR-A-2 081 627 discloses a container with a cover and a detachable guarantee strip in which:
  • a) the edge of the container has a first profile (in fact a simple smooth face) intended to cooperate with a complementary profile (in fact a simple convex) provided on the cover to ensure (by friction) the maintenance of the cover on the container in closed position but easily open when the security strip is removed.
  • b) the edge of the container has a second profile intended to cooperate with a complementary profile provided on the detachable strip, which is integral with and detachable from the cover, in order to maintain the cover on the container in the closed position and difficult to open.

Le premier et le second profils sont formés sur les faces respectivement intérieure et extérieure du bord du récipient. L'enseignement du document précité ne concerne que les récipients à couvercle disjoint, et ne peut se transposer à des récipients à couvercle articulé. D'autre part, la conception retenue des divers profils d'encliquetage nécessite le moulage dans des moules à tiroir ou en plusieurs éléments.The first and second profiles are formed on the respectively inner and outer faces of the edge of the container. The teaching of the aforementioned document only concerns receptacles with a separate lid, and cannot be transposed to receptacles with an articulated lid. On the other hand, the design adopted for the various snap-on profiles requires molding in drawer molds or in several elements.

Le but de l'invention est de proposer un récipient de type où deux ensembles de profils permettent d'offrir deux verrouillages différents du couvercles, l'un quasi-définitif lié à la bande de garantie, l'autre provisoire, où le couvercle puisse s'articuler sur le bord du récipient.The object of the invention is to provide a container of the type where two sets of profiles make it possible to offer two different locks of the covers, one almost definitive linked to the guarantee strip, the other temporary, where the cover can hinge on the edge of the container.

Ce but est atteint du fait que les deux séries de profils sont formées sur au moins un même organe d'accrochage constitué par au moins une patte de prolongement du bord du récipient, portant en saillie lesdits premiers et second profils.This object is achieved by the fact that the two series of profiles are formed on at least one same attachment member constituted by at least one tab for extending the edge of the container, projecting said first and second profiles.

Les deux ensembles de profil sont des profils encliquetables.The two profile sets are snap-on profiles.

Le premier profil et le profil complémentaire réalisent un encliquetage à angle obtus, tandis que le second profil et son profil complémentaire réalisent un encliquetage à angle sensiblement droit ou aigu.The first profile and the complementary profile snap in at an obtuse angle, while the second profile and its complementary profile snap in at a substantially right or acute angle.

L'invention est particulièrement bien adaptée à un récipient formé intégralement par moulage, où le couvercle est articulé sur un bord rectiligne de l'ouverture du récipient par une charnière flexible élastique venue de matière, qui par son élasti­cité, pourrait avoir tendance à ouvrir le couvercle si le premier profil de l'organe d'accrochage n'existait pas.The invention is particularly well suited to a container formed integrally by molding, where the cover is articulated on a straight edge of the opening of the container by a flexible elastic hinge made of material, which by its elasticity, could tend to open the cover if the first profile of the fastening member did not exist.

Selon une caractéristique importante de l'invention, la bande détachable est rattachée latéralement au couvercle par l'intermédiaire d'une zone de rupture s'interrompant par le passage de la ou des pattes de prolongement.According to an important characteristic of the invention, the detachable strip is attached laterally to the cover by means of a rupture zone which is interrupted by the passage of the extension tab (s).

Avantageusement, la bande est solidaire par points d'une partie périphérique du couvercle, et elle peut se détacher par arrachement avec rupture des points de solidarisation.Advantageously, the strip is secured in points to a peripheral part of the cover, and it can detach by tearing with rupture of the fastening points.

Il est avantageux aussi que la bande de garantie comporte facultativement un dispositif de suspension pour accrocher le récipient fermé aux broches d'un présentoir.It is also advantageous that the guarantee strip optionally includes a hanging device for hanging the closed container on the pins of a display.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages ressortiront de la description suivante d'un mode préféré de réalisation. Il sera fait référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

  • . les figures 1,2 et 3 représentent de trois quarts en perspective un récipient conforme à l'invention, respectivement couvercle fermé et bande-témoin intacte, couvercle ouvert et bande-témoin intacte, couvercle fermé et bande-témoin arrachée.
  • . la figure 4 est une coupe partielle détaillée IV-IV de la figure 1 montrant notamment la structure des organes d'assemblage.
  • . la figure 5 est une vue de dessus partielle montrant le détail des points de matières retenant la bande de garantie au couvercle.
Other characteristics and advantages will emerge from the following description of a preferred embodiment. Reference will be made to the appended drawings in which:
  • . Figures 1,2 and 3 show three quarters in perspective a container according to the invention, respectively closed lid and intact control strip, open cover and intact control strip, closed cover and torn witness strip.
  • . Figure 4 is a partial detailed section IV-IV of Figure 1 showing in particular the structure of the assembly members.
  • . Figure 5 is a partial top view showing the detail of the material points retaining the guarantee strip to the cover.

On voit sur les figures 1 à 3 une boîte 1 de forme générale parallélépipédique, comportant à sa partie supérieure une ouverture rectangulaire 2. L'un 3 des bords les plus longs de l'ou­verture 2 porte la charnière 4, réalisée par une partie amincie flexible, attachant le couvercle 5 à la boîte 1.We see in Figures 1 to 3 a box 1 of generally rectangular shape, having at its upper part a rectangular opening 2. One 3 of the longest edges of the opening 2 carries the hinge 4, made by a thinned part flexible, attaching cover 5 to box 1.

Le couvercle 5 comporte essentiellement une plaque rec­tangulaire 6, dont la périphérie porte un rebord interne rectan­gulaire 7 de faible épaisseur, destiné à venir s'insérer dans l'ou­verture rectangulaire 2. Le rebord 7 peut éventuellment comporter sur son grand côté avant une ou plusieurs dents 8 proéminentes et chanfreinées destinées à s'appuyer sur la paroi avant 9 de la boîte 1 lors de la fermeture du couvercle, de façon à faciliter, par guidage, l'introduction du rebord 7 dans l'ouverture 2. Les dents 8 permettent notamment, surtout si elles sont placées vers le centre du bord avant de la paroi avant 9, de redresser celle-ci au cas où elle serait légèrement cintrée vers l'intérieur.The cover 5 essentially comprises a rectangular plate 6, the periphery of which carries a rectangular internal flange 7 of small thickness, intended to be inserted in the rectangular opening 2. The flange 7 may optionally comprise on its large front side one or more protruding and chamfered teeth 8 intended to bear on the front wall 9 of the box 1 when the cover is closed, so as to facilitate, by guiding, the introduction of the rim 7 into the opening 2. The teeth 8 allow in particular, especially if they are placed towards the center of the front edge of the front wall 9, to straighten the latter in case it is slightly curved inwards.

Les bords de la plaque 6 de couvercle sont chanfreinés, et le bord avant 10 comporte en son milieu un ergot allongé 11 de préhension, facilitant l'ouverture du couvercle en faisant légère­ment saillie par rapport au plan de la paroi avant 9 de la boîte.The edges of the cover plate 6 are chamfered, and the front edge 10 has in its middle an elongated lug 11 for gripping, facilitating the opening of the cover by slightly projecting relative to the plane of the front wall 9 of the box.

Les trois bords du couvercle, autres que celui comportant la charnière 4, sont reliés par des ponts quasi-ponctuels de matière (constituant la zone de rupture, à une bande de garantie partiellement périphérique 12.The three edges of the cover, other than that comprising the hinge 4, are connected by quasi-punctual bridges of material (constituting the rupture zone, to a partially peripheral guarantee strip 12.

Dans la bande de garantie 12 est formée à l'avant et au milieu une patte de suspension 13 comportant une ouverture 14 pour le passage d'une tringle de support ou analogue. La patte de suspension 13 forme une sorte de pont reliant par le dessus les parties latérales avant de la bande de garantie 12 de manière que la bande présente en son milieu à l'avant un évidement 14a correspondant à l'emplacement de l'ergot de préhension 11. A cet endroit, la bande 12 n'est évidemment pas reliée au couvercle par des ponts de matière. Il en est de même à deux endroits 15, laissés libres, correspondant à l'emplacement des deux organes d'accrochage 16 prévus sur le bord avant de l'ouverture 2.In the guarantee strip 12 is formed at the front and in the middle a hanger 13 having an opening 14 for the passage of a support rod or the like. The suspension lug 13 forms a sort of bridge connecting the front side parts of the guarantee strip 12 from above so that the strip has a recess 14a in its middle at the front corresponding to the location of the lug gripping 11. At this point, the strip 12 is obviously not connected to the cover by bridges of material. It is the same in two places 15, left free, corresponding to the location of the two attachment members 16 provided on the front edge of the opening 2.

Chaque organe d'accrochage 16 est constitué par une patte prolongeant vers le haut le bord supérieur de la paroi avant 9. Il est prévu généralement deux pattes, ou même trois si la largeur de la paroi avant 9 le justifie (notamment pour mieux maintenir rigide cette paroi avant quand le couvercle est fermé).Each attachment member 16 is constituted by a lug extending upward the upper edge of the front wall 9. There are generally provided two lugs, or even three if the width of the front wall 9 justifies it (in particular to better maintain rigid this front wall when the cover is closed).

La face interne de cette patte porte un premier profil 17 d'encliquetage doux (cf. fig.4), coopérant avec un profil semblable formé sur le bord de couvercle, par exemple par le chanfrein 18. L'angle du profil 17 avec la face interne de la patte 16 est un angle ouvert obtus, par exemple de 135°, correspondant à l'angle d'inclinaison du chanfrein.The internal face of this tab carries a first profile 17 of gentle snap-fitting (cf. fig. 4), cooperating with a similar profile formed on the edge of the cover, for example by the chamfer 18. The angle of the profile 17 with the inner face of the tab 16 is an obtuse open angle, for example 135 °, corresponding to the angle of inclination of the chamfer.

La face externe de la patte 16 comporte un second profil 19 d'encliquetage dur. Ce profil 19 forme avec la face externe de la patte un angle fermé ou sensiblement droit (pour éviter des contre dépouilles difficiles à démouler). Ce profil 19 coopère avec un profil semblable 20 comportant un angle droit, formé par une saillie allongée prévue sur la face interne de la bande de garantie 12, au niveau des endroits libres 15.The external face of the tab 16 has a second profile 19 of hard snap-fastening. This profile 19 forms with the external face of the tab a closed or substantially right angle (to avoid undercuts which are difficult to unmold). This profile 19 cooperates with a similar profile 20 comprising a right angle, formed by an elongated projection provided on the internal face of the guarantee strip 12, at the free places 15.

La bande de garantie 12 est reliée au couvercle par des ponts de matière quasi-ponctuels 21 entre d'une part un bec continu 22 entourant le couvercle aux endroits où la bande doit être attachée, et d'autre part un bec 23 à bord en arches (cf. fig. 4et 5). Comme on le voit sur les figures 4 et 5, la bande 12 est rattachée radialement (latéralement) au couvercle par ces ponts de matière 21, ce qui facilite notamment le moulage (et surtout son démoulage) du couvercle.The guarantee strip 12 is connected to the cover by bridges of quasi-punctual material 21 between on the one hand a continuous spout 22 surrounding the cover at the places where the strip must be attached, and on the other hand a spout 23 with an arches (see fig. 4 and 5). As seen in Figures 4 and 5, the strip 12 is attached radially (laterally) to the cover by these bridges of material 21, which in particular facilitates the molding (and especially its demolding) of the cover.

La boîte est fabriquée par exemple en polypropylène, par moulage : le moule forme en une seule étape la boîte, avec son couvercle ouvert à 180° et munie de la bande de garantie. La conception de la boîte et le choix des formes permettent d'avoir un moule sans articulation et sans tiroirs autre qu'un tiroir prévu pour rendre la réalisation de la patte 13 facultative.The box is made, for example, of polypropylene, by molding: the mold forms the box in one step, with its lid open at 180 ° and provided with the guarantee strip. The design of the box and the choice of shapes make it possible to have a mold without articulation and without drawers other than a drawer provided to make the production of the tab 13 optional.

La boîte une fois démoulée, il suffit de la remplir du produit désiré et de fermer le couvercle muni de sa bande de garantie, laquelle s'encliquète sur les ergots 19 des organes d'accrochage, et rend la boîte sensiblement inviolable (fig.1).Once the box is removed from the mold, just fill it with desired product and close the cover with its guarantee strip, which snaps onto the lugs 19 of the hooking members, and makes the box substantially tamper-proof (fig. 1).

Pour ouvrir la boîte, il suffit de déchirer la bande de garantie (fig.3) : le couvercle de la boîte est cependant maintenu fermé, mais aisément ouvrable, par les profils intérieurs des organes d'accrochage.To open the box, it suffices to tear off the guarantee strip (fig. 3): the box cover is however kept closed, but easily openable, by the internal profiles of the hooking members.
