Description

L'invention concerne un emballage en carton de forme générale prismatique ou tronconique, convenant notamment pour produits liquides, pulvérulents ou granulaires.The invention relates to a cardboard packaging of generally prismatic or frustoconical shape, suitable in particular for liquid, pulverulent or granular products.

Le conditionnement et le transport de produits ont constitué, de tout temps, un vaste problème. Pour les produits susceptibles de s'écouler, le problème est d'autant plus délicat.The packaging and transportation of products has always been a huge problem. For products likely to flow, the problem is all the more delicate.

Parmi les nombreuses matières utilisables pour le conditionnement de produits, le carton reste largement utilisé. Sa légèreté, son faible volume occupé dans les déchets ménagers et sa possibilité de recyclage en font actuellement un matériau de choix.Among the many materials usable for packaging products, cardboard remains widely used. Its lightness, its low volume occupied in household waste and its possibility of recycling currently make it a material of choice.

Les emballages de forme parallélépipédique ont l'avantage que le produits contenu occupe pratiquement l'entièreté du volume occupé par l'emballage, lors de la palettisation et du stockage du produit emballé. Il n'y a donc pratiquement pas de perte de place entre les produits emballés et juxtaposés les uns à côté des autres.The parallelepipedic packaging has the advantage that the product contained occupies practically the entire volume occupied by the packaging, during palletizing and storage of the packaged product. There is therefore practically no loss of space between the products packaged and juxtaposed one beside the other.

Pour des emballages de grande contenance et donc lourds, la prise devient difficile dans une seule main. Il est alors intéressant de pouvoir disposer d'une poignée permettant de transporter le produit mais aussi et surtout de le verser.For large capacity and therefore heavy packaging, gripping becomes difficult with one hand. It is therefore interesting to be able to have a handle allowing to transport the product but also and above all to pour it.

La présente invention a pour but de fournir une boîte en carton munie d'une poignée et plus particulièrement d'une poignée de versage.The object of the present invention is to provide a cardboard box provided with a handle and more particularly with a pouring handle.

En particulier, l'invention a pour but de fournir une boîte en carton munie d'une poignée réalisée entièrement en carton.In particular, the invention aims to provide a cardboard box with a handle made entirely of cardboard.

Un des buts de l'invention est de réaliser une boîte avec poignée réalisé par découpage, pliage et assemblage d'un flan de carton unique.One of the aims of the invention is to produce a box with a handle produced by cutting, folding and assembling a single cardboard blank.

L'invention a également pour but de fournir une boîte munie d'une poignée pouvant occuper une position rabattue de telle sorte qu'elle n'occupe pratiquement pas de place lors du stockage de l'emballage.The invention also aims to provide a box provided with a handle which can occupy a folded position so that it occupies practically no space during storage of the packaging.

Un autre but de l'invention est de fournir une boîte munie d'une poignée qui soit confortable et qui ne présente pas d'arête vive.Another object of the invention is to provide a box provided with a handle which is comfortable and which does not have a sharp edge.

La présente invention a pour objet un emballage consistant en une boîte en carton de forme générale prismatique ou tronconique formée d'un flan de carton.The present invention relates to a packaging consisting of a cardboard box of generally prismatic or frustoconical shape formed from a cardboard blank.

Ce flan comporte une succession de pans séparés par des lignes de pliage sensiblement parallèles. Ces pans sont destinés à former les parois latérales de la boîte et sont généralement au nombre de quatre mais il pourrait également y en avoir 3, 6 ou 8, par exemple.This blank comprises a succession of sections separated by substantially parallel fold lines. These sections are intended to form the side walls of the box and are generally four in number, but there could also be 3, 6 or 8, for example.

Lors du montage de la boîte, les deux pans extrêmes sont assemblés par leur bord parallèle aux lignes de pliage séparant les pans.When mounting the box, the two end panels are assembled by their edge parallel to the fold lines separating the panels.

La boîte suivant l'invention comporte une patte, apte à former une poignée permettant la prise aisée de boîtes volumineuses et le versage de leur contenu. Cette patte est attenante au premier pan du flan le long de son bord parallèle aux lignes de pliage séparant les pans.The box according to the invention comprises a tab, capable of forming a handle allowing the easy taking of large boxes and the pouring of their contents. This tab is attached to the first side of the blank along its edge parallel to the fold lines separating the panels.

Lors du stockage de la boîte, la patte est pliée en deux parties inégales et adossée à la paroi formée par le dernier pan du flan.When storing the box, the tab is folded in two unequal parts and leaned against the wall formed by the last side of the blank.

Cette poignée n'occasionne donc pas de perte de place lors du stockage de la boîte, ni dans les rayonnages.This handle therefore does not cause loss of space during storage of the box, nor in the shelving.

La patte comporte quatre lignes de pliage sensiblement prallèles aux lignes de pliage séparant les pans. Les lignes de pliage de la patte y délimitent cinq volets consécutifs. En pratique, ces volets sont de forme rectangulaire. Dans la description qui suit, on entend par premier volet celui qui est attenant au premier pan du flan.The tab has four fold lines substantially parallel to the fold lines separating the panels. The fold lines of the tab delimit five consecutive flaps. In practice, these components are rectangular. In the following description, the first flap is understood to mean that which adjoins the first side of the blank.

Les premier et dernier volets sont collés sur la paroi latérale formée par le dernier pan du flan.The first and last flaps are glued to the side wall formed by the last side of the blank.

La patte est apte à être dressée de telle sorte que les deuxième et quatrième volets se placent perpendiculairement à cette paroi et le troisième volet parallèlement.The leg is able to be raised so that the second and fourth flaps are placed perpendicular to this wall and the third flap in parallel.

Les deuxième et quatrième volets comportent en vis-à-vis une languette rabattable le long d'une charnière parallèle aux lignes de pliage de la poignée. Lorsque les deux languettes sont rabattues, une ouverture permettant la prise est découverte. D'une manière particulière, cette ouverture est, en substance, de forme rectangulaire.The second and fourth flaps have opposite a folding tongue along a hinge parallel to the fold lines of the handle. When the two tabs are folded, an opening allowing the grip is discovered. In a particular way, this opening is, in essence, rectangular in shape.

Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, les languettes sont de forme allongée et sont délimitées par un contour partiel découpé et un bord droit non découpé formant une charnière.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the tongues are of elongated shape and are delimited by a cut out partial contour and an uncut straight edge forming a hinge.

Dans une première forme d'exécution, les languettes sont, en substance, de forme rectangulaire et ont les mêmes dimensions que l'ouverture qu'elles découvrent. Leur contour partiel comprend un des grands côtés de la languette, les deux petits côtés et deux coins arrondis.In a first embodiment, the tongues are, in substance, rectangular in shape and have the same dimensions as the opening which they uncover. Their partial outline includes one of the long sides of the tongue, the two short sides and two rounded corners.

Dans une deuxième forme d'exécution, le contour découpé est de forme arrondie et la surface des languettes est inférieure à la surface des ouvertures.In a second embodiment, the cut contour is rounded and the surface of the tongues is less than the surface of the openings.

Avantageusement, les languettes ont une largeur inférieure à la largeur des volets qui les comportent (c'est-à-dire les deuxième et quatrième volets) de telle sorte qu'une bande non repliable est ménagée sur chacun des deuxième et quatrième volets entre la languette et la ligne de pliage faisant la jonction entre le troisième volet et, respectivement, le deuxième et quatrième volet.Advantageously, the tabs have a width less than the width of the flaps which comprise them (that is to say the second and fourth flaps) so that a non-folding strip is formed on each of the second and fourth flaps between the tongue and fold line joining the third flap and, respectively, the second and fourth flap.

D'une manière particulière, les deux languettes sont aptes à être repliées vers l'intérieur de la poignée par rotation de 90° autour de leur bord non découpé (ou charnière) respectif. Les deux languettes se chevauchent et forment alors une cloison parallèle à la paroi sur laquelle les premier et dernier volets sont collés.In a particular way, the two tongues are able to be folded inwards of the handle by rotation of 90 ° around their respective uncut edge (or hinge). The two tabs overlap and then form a partition parallel to the wall on which the first and last flaps are glued.

La cloison délimite alors, avec les deux bandes non repliées et le troisième volet, le corps de la poignée. Celui-ci consiste en un volume de section quadrilatérale et est dépourvu d'arête vive. Ceci rend la poignée confortable.The partition then delimits, with the two unfolded bands and the third flap, the body of the handle. This consists of a volume of quadrilateral section and has no sharp edge. This makes the handle comfortable.

Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré, les deuxième et quatrième volets comportent une seconde languette, plus petite que la première et située au-dessus de l'ouverture permettant la prise.According to a preferred embodiment, the second and fourth flaps have a second tab, smaller than the first and located above the opening allowing the grip.

Cette seconde languette est rabattable de 90° vers l'intérieur de la poignée, le long d'un axe sensiblement perpendiculaire à la charnière de la première languette. Cette seconde languette rend le bord supérieur de l'ouverture non coupant.This second tongue is foldable 90 ° towards the inside of the handle, along an axis substantially perpendicular to the hinge of the first tongue. This second tab makes the upper edge of the opening non-cutting.

Avantageusement, lorsque la patte, constituant la poignée, est en position rabattue, c'est-à-dire adossée à la paroi formée par le dernier pan du flan, les deux derniers volets sont situés contre cette paroi et les deuxième et troisième volets les recouvrent.Advantageously, when the tab constituting the handle is in the folded position, that is to say against the wall formed by the last side of the blank, the last two flaps are located against this wall and the second and third flaps are overlap.

Suivant une forme de réalisation avantageuse de l'invention, le dernier pan du flan comporte une zone repoussée vers l'extérieur de la boîte, d'une épaisseur sensiblement égale à l'épaisseur du carton. Cette zone a les mêmes dimensions que le premier volet de la patte. Celui-ci est collé sur cette zone de telle sorte que ce volet se situe sensiblement dans le même plan que les deuxième et troisième volets.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the last side of the blank has a zone pushed back towards the outside of the box, of a thickness substantially equal to the thickness of the cardboard. This area has the same dimensions as the first flap of the tab. The latter is glued to this zone so that this flap is situated substantially in the same plane as the second and third flaps.

Suivant une forme particulière de l'invention, les pans comportent des bords inférieurs auxquels sont attenants des rabats formant le fond de la boîte.According to a particular form of the invention, the flaps have lower edges to which are attached flaps forming the bottom of the box.

De la même manière, les pans comportent des bords supérieurs auxquels sont attenants des rabats formant le couvercle de la boîte.Likewise, the flaps have upper edges to which flaps forming the cover of the box are attached.

En particulier, le couvercle de la boîte comporte une ouverture. La boîte est alors apte à contenir un flacon de matière plastique, dont le goulot passe à l'extérieur de la boîte par cette ouverture.In particular, the cover of the box has an opening. The box is then able to contain a plastic bottle, the neck of which passes outside the box through this opening.

Les Fig. 1 à 5 représentent l'emballage suivant l'invention. Cet emballage comporte une boîte parallélépipédique 1 en carton portant une poignée 2 et un flacon 3 en matière plastique.Figs. 1 to 5 represent the packaging according to the invention. This packaging includes a rectangular box 1 made of cardboard carrying a handle 2 and a plastic bottle 3.

La poignée 2 peut occuper une position dressée (Fig. 1, 4 et 5) ou une position rabattue (Fig. 2 et 3) lorsque l'emballage est stocké ou transporté sur palette.The handle 2 can occupy an upright position (Fig. 1, 4 and 5) or a folded position (Fig. 2 and 3) when the packaging is stored or transported on a pallet.

La boîte 1 comporte classiquement un fond 4, quatre parois latérales 5 à 8 et un couvercle 9 dans lequel est ménagée une ouverture circulaire 10.The box 1 conventionally comprises a bottom 4, four side walls 5 to 8 and a cover 9 in which is formed a circular opening 10.

Le flacon 3 est contenu dans la boîte 1 et peut y être collé ou non. Son goulot 11 émerge de la boîte 1 par l'ouverture 10 du couvercle 9. Un bouchon 12 peut être vissé sur le goulot 11.The bottle 3 is contained in the box 1 and may or may not be stuck there. Its neck 11 emerges from the box 1 through the opening 10 of the cover 9. A plug 12 can be screwed onto the neck 11.

La poignée 2 est constituée d'une patte de carton 13 ayant une hauteur égale aux 3/4 de la hauteur des parois latérales 5 à 8. La patte 13 comporte quatre lignes de pliage 14 à 17 délimitant cinq volets 18 à 22 rectangulaires. Les lignes de pliage 14 à 17 sont parallèles au bord longitudinal des parois 5 à 8. Le volet 18 est attenant à la paroi latérale 5. Les volets 19 et 21 sont de même largeur. Le volet 22 est plus étroit que le volet 20. La largeur du volet 18 plus la moitié de la largeur du volet 20 est égale à la moitié de la largeur de la paroi latérale 8.The handle 2 consists of a cardboard tab 13 having a height equal to 3/4 of the height of the side walls 5 to 8. The tab 13 has four fold lines 14 to 17 delimiting five rectangular flaps 18 to 22. The fold lines 14 to 17 are parallel to the longitudinal edge of the walls 5 to 8. The flap 18 is adjacent to the side wall 5. The flaps 19 and 21 are of the same width. The shutter 22 is narrower than the shutter 20. The width of the shutter 18 plus half the width of the shutter 20 is equal to half the width of the side wall 8.

En position rabattue telle que représentée aux Fig. 2 et 3, la patte 13 est repliée en deux parties inégales, le long de sa ligne de pliage 16 de telle sorte que les volets 21 et 22 soient situés contre la paroi 8, les volets 19 et 20 les recouvrant. La poignée 2, en position rabattue, n'occupe donc pas plus de place que deux épaisseurs de carton.In the folded position as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the tab 13 is folded in two unequal parts, along its fold line 16 so that the flaps 21 and 22 are located against the wall 8, the flaps 19 and 20 covering them. The handle 2, in the folded position, therefore occupies no more space than two thicknesses of cardboard.

Le volet 18 est collé sur toute sa surface, côté verso contre la paroi latérale 8 (le côté verso étant le côté du carton situé vers l'intérieur de la boîte 1). Le volet 22, quant à lui, est collé, côté recto contre la paroi 8. Ceci est dû au fait que la patte 13 est repliée en deux. Un collage du volet 22 côté verso contre la paroi 8 aurait nécessité le pliage de la patte 13 le long de sa ligne de pliage 17 lorsque la patte 13 est en position rabattue, ce qui aurait impliqué que la poignée aurait occupé en position rabattue un espace de trois épaisseurs de carton au lieu de deux.The flap 18 is glued over its entire surface, back side against the side wall 8 (the back side being the side of the carton located towards the inside of the box 1). The flap 22, meanwhile, is glued, front side against the wall 8. This is due to the fact that the tab 13 is folded in half. Gluing the flap 22 back side against the wall 8 would have required the folding of the tab 13 along its fold line 17 when the tab 13 is in the folded position, which would have implied that the handle would have occupied in the folded position a space three thicknesses of cardboard instead of two.

La poignée 2 étant en position dressée, comme représentée aux Fig. 1, 4 et 5, les volets 19 et 21 de la patte de carton 13 sont disposés perpendiculairement à la paroi latérale 8 de la boîte 1. Les volets 19 et 21 étant de même largeur, le volet 20 est disposé parallèlement à la paroi 8.The handle 2 being in the upright position, as shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5, the flaps 19 and 21 of the cardboard tab 13 are arranged perpendicular to the side wall 8 of the box 1. The flaps 19 and 21 being of the same width, the flap 20 is arranged parallel to the wall 8 .

Une languette 23 est découpée dans chacun des volets 19 et 21. Les deux languettes 23 sont situées en vis-à-vis lorsque la poignée 2 est en position dressée. Les languettes 23 sont délimitées par un contour partiel découpé 24 et une ligne de pliage 25 formant une charnière.A tongue 23 is cut from each of the flaps 19 and 21. The two tongues 23 are located opposite when the handle 2 is in the upright position. The tongues 23 are delimited by a cut out partial contour 24 and a fold line 25 forming a hinge.

Sur les Fig. 1 et 4, on peut voir que les languettes 23 ont été repliées de 90° vers l'intérieur de la poignée 2. Une ouverture 26 est alors découverte. Ses dimensions sont telles que quatre doigts peuvent y être insérés.In Figs. 1 and 4, it can be seen that the tongues 23 have been folded 90 ° towards the inside of the handle 2. An opening 26 is then discovered. Its dimensions are such that four fingers can be inserted into it.

Sur la Fig. 4, on peut voir que les languettes 23 rabattues forment une cloison 27 parallèle à la paroi 8. Cette cloison 27 peut, dans le cas de variantes d'exécution, ne pas être complète.In Fig. 4, we can see that the tabs 23 folded down form a partition 27 parallel to the wall 8. This partition 27 may, in the case of alternative embodiments, not be complete.

Les languettes 23 ont une longueur grossièrement égale à la moitié de la hauteur de la poignée 2.The tongues 23 have a length roughly equal to half the height of the handle 2.

Les languettes 23 ont une largeur inférieure à la largeur des volets 19 et 21 et sont situées à un endroit tel qu'une bande non repliable 28 est ménagée uniquement entre la charnière 25 de chacune des languettes 23 et les lignes de pliage respectives 15 et 16.The tongues 23 have a width less than the width of the flaps 19 and 21 and are located in a place such that a non-folding strip 28 is formed only between the hinge 25 of each of the tongues 23 and the respective fold lines 15 and 16 .

La cloison 27, le volet 20 et les deux bandes non repliables 28 forment un parallélépipède sans arête vive. Ce parallélépipède constitue le corps 29 de la poignée 2 et a des dimensions telles qu'il est aisément tenu en main.The partition 27, the flap 20 and the two non-folding bands 28 form a parallelepiped without sharp edges. This parallelepiped constitutes the body 29 of the handle 2 and has dimensions such that it is easily held in hand.

Deux pattes triangulaires 30 de triple épaisseur assurent la fermeture du couvercle 9. Ces deux pattes 30 sont rabattues respectivement sur les parois latérales 6 et 8 de la boîte 1. La pointe inférieure de ces deux pattes 30 est insérée dans une échancrure 31 ménagée dans la partie supérieure des parois latérales 6 et 8. Cette échancrure 31 est constituée d'une zone découpée 32 visible sur la Fig. 6 et d'une ligne de coupe verticale 33.Two triangular tabs 30 of triple thickness ensure the closure of the cover 9. These two tabs 30 are folded down respectively on the side walls 6 and 8 of the box 1. The lower point of these two tabs 30 is inserted in a notch 31 formed in the upper part of the side walls 6 and 8. This notch 31 consists of a cut-out area 32 visible in FIG. 6 and a vertical section line 33.

L'emballage représenté aux Fig. 1 à 4 est réalisé à partir d'un flan de carton 34 représenté à plat à la Fig. 6.The packaging shown in Figs. 1 to 4 is produced from a cardboard blank 34 shown flat in FIG. 6.

Le flan 34 comporte quatre pans rectangulaires 35 à 38 destinés à former les quatre parois latérales 5 à 8 de la boîte 1. Ces pans 35 à 38 sont délimités par les bords AB et IK et par les lignes de pliage CD, EF et GH, parallèles entre eux et par les lignes de pliage AI et BK, parallèles entre elles.The blank 34 comprises four rectangular sections 35 to 38 intended to form the four side walls 5 to 8 of the box 1. These sections 35 to 38 are delimited by the edges AB and IK and by the fold lines CD, EF and GH, parallel to each other and by the fold lines AI and BK, parallel to each other.

Les lignes AB, CD, EF, GH et IK se prolongent au-delà des points B, D, F, H et K par des lignes de coupe BL, DM, FP, HQ et KS délimitant deux paires de rabats 39, 40 destinés à former, après assemblage, le fond 4 de la boîte 1.Lines AB, CD, EF, GH and IK extend beyond points B, D, F, H and K by cutting lines BL, DM, FP, HQ and KS delimiting two pairs of flaps 39, 40 intended to form, after assembly, the bottom 4 of the box 1.

Les lignes CD, EF, GH et IK se prolongent au-delà des points C, E, G et I par des lignes de pliages CU, EV, GW et IX. La ligne AB se prolonge au-delà du point A par la ligne de coupe AT.CD, EF, GH and IK lines extend beyond points C, E, G and I by fold lines CU, EV, GW and IX. The line AB extends beyond point A by the section line AT.

Ces lignes AT, CU, EV, GW et IX délimitent quatre rabats 41, 42, 43 et 44 destinés à former le couvercle 9 de la boîte 1 et ses pattes de fermeture triangulaires 30.These lines AT, CU, EV, GW and IX delimit four flaps 41, 42, 43 and 44 intended to form the cover 9 of the box 1 and its triangular closing tabs 30.

Le rabat 44 est bordé par une patte de collage 45 destinée à relier le rabat 44 au rabat 41.The flap 44 is bordered by a bonding tab 45 intended to connect the flap 44 to the flap 41.

Les rabats 41 et 43 attenants respectivement aux pans 35 et 37 comportent une ouverture circulaire 10.The flaps 41 and 43 adjoining the sides 35 and 37 respectively have a circular opening 10.

Les rabats 42 et 44 attenants respectivement aux pans 36 et 38 sont divisés en trois zones triangulaires 46, 47, 48 destinées à former la patte triangulaire 30 de triple épaisseur, permettant la fermeture du couvercle 9.The flaps 42 and 44 adjoining the sides 36 and 38 respectively are divided into three triangular zones 46, 47, 48 intended to form the triangular tab 30 of triple thickness, allowing the cover 9 to be closed.

La Fig. 6 permet de voir les deux échancrures 31 précédemment décrites, situées dans la partie supérieure des pans 36 et 38. Une zone découpée 32 et une ligne de coupe 33 forment l'échancrure 31.Fig. 6 makes it possible to see the two notches 31 previously described, located in the upper part of the panels 36 and 38. A cut-out zone 32 and a cutting line 33 form the notch 31.

Le pan de carton 35 porte, le long de son bord AB, une patte 13 destinée à former la poignée 2 et délimitée par les lignes de coupe YY′, Y′B′, B′B et la ligne de pliage YB. Le bord inférieur B′B de la patte 13 est situé dans le prolongement du bord inférieur BK des parois latérales 5 à 8.The cardboard section 35 carries, along its edge AB, a tab 13 intended to form the handle 2 and delimited by the cutting lines YY ′, Y′B ′, B′B and the fold line YB. The lower edge B′B of the tab 13 is located in the extension of the lower edge BK of the side walls 5 to 8.

La Fig. 6 montre les quatre lignes de pliage 14 à 17 et les cinq volets 18 à 22 qu'elles délimitent.Fig. 6 shows the four fold lines 14 to 17 and the five flaps 18 to 22 which they delimit.

Le pan de carton 38 comporte une zone 49 repoussée vers la face recto du flan 34. La face recto est la face non visible sur la Fig. 6. Les dimensions de la zone 49 sont égales à celles du volet 18 de la patte 13. La zone 49 est située le long du bord libre IK du pan 38, le bord inférieur KZ de la zone 49 coïncidant avec le bord inférieur KH du pan 38. Le bord supérieur JZ′ de la zone 49 coupe le pan 38 aux 3/4 de sa hauteur. La raison d'être de cette zone repoussée 49 sera expliquée plus loin dans la description.The cardboard section 38 includes a zone 49 pushed back towards the front face of the blank 34. The front face is the side not visible in FIG. 6. The dimensions of the zone 49 are equal to those of the flap 18 of the tab 13. The zone 49 is located along the free edge IK of the pan 38, the lower edge KZ of the zone 49 coinciding with the lower edge KH of the pan 38. The upper edge JZ ′ of zone 49 cuts pan 38 to 3/4 of its height. The reason for this pushed-back area 49 will be explained later in the description.

Une patte de collage 50 borde le bord IJ du pan 38 et permet de relier le pan 38 au pan 35 lors du montage de la boîte 1.A bonding tab 50 borders the edge IJ of the pan 38 and makes it possible to connect the pan 38 to the pan 35 during assembly. from box 1.

La Fig. 6 montre les deux languettes 23 que comportent les volets 19 et 21 de la patte 13.Fig. 6 shows the two tongues 23 that comprise the flaps 19 and 21 of the tab 13.

Dans ce premier mode d'exécution, les languettes 23 sont de forme rectangulaire avec deux coins arrondis 51. La charnière 25 forme un des deux grands côtés des languettes 23. Le contour partiel découpé 24 forme les deux petits côtés 52, le deuxième grand côté 53 et les deux coins arrondis 51. Ces coins arrondis 51 relient les petits côtés 52 à la charnière 25. Le grand côté 53 coïncide avec une portion des lignes de pliage respectives 14 et 17.In this first embodiment, the tongues 23 are rectangular in shape with two rounded corners 51. The hinge 25 forms one of the two long sides of the tongues 23. The cut out partial contour 24 forms the two short sides 52, the second long side 53 and the two rounded corners 51. These rounded corners 51 connect the short sides 52 to the hinge 25. The long side 53 coincides with a portion of the respective fold lines 14 and 17.

La Fig. 7 montre une variante d'exécution de la poignée 2. Les languettes 54 n'occupent pas l'entièreté de l'ouverture 26. Elles sont délimitées par un bord droit constituant une charnière 25 et un contour découpé 55 de forme arrondie.Fig. 7 shows an alternative embodiment of the handle 2. The tongues 54 do not occupy the entire opening 26. They are delimited by a straight edge constituting a hinge 25 and a cut contour 55 of rounded shape.

A la Fig. 7, on peut encore voir que les volets 19 et 21 comportent chacun une seconde languette 56. Ces languettes 56 sont rabattables vers l'intérieur de la poignée 2 de 90°, le long d'un axe sensiblement perpendiculaire à la charnière 25 de la première languette 23, 54. Ces secondes languettes 56 sont situées au-dessus de l'ouverture 26 et permettent de rendre non coupant le bord supérieur de l'ouverture 26.In Fig. 7, it can still be seen that the flaps 19 and 21 each have a second tongue 56. These tongues 56 can be folded inwardly of the handle 2 by 90 °, along an axis substantially perpendicular to the hinge 25 of the first tab 23, 54. These second tabs 56 are located above the opening 26 and make it possible to make the upper edge of the opening 26 non-cutting.

Il est entendu que la présence des secondes languettes 56 n'est nullement liée à la forme de la première languette (23 ou 54) et que cette particularité de l'invention peut être combinée également avec la première forme d'exécution (Fig. 1, 2, 3, 4 et 6).It is understood that the presence of the second tabs 56 is in no way linked to the shape of the first tab (23 or 54) and that this feature of the invention can also be combined with the first embodiment (Fig. 1 , 2, 3, 4 and 6).

La Fig. 5 est une vue en plan de la deuxième forme d'exécution, on y voit les secondes languettes 56 rabattues vers l'intérieur de la poignée 2.Fig. 5 is a plan view of the second embodiment, there are seen the second tabs 56 folded inwardly of the handle 2.

Le montage de l'emballage selon l'invention est réalisé de la manière décrite ci-après.The assembly of the packaging according to the invention is carried out as described below.

La ligne de pliage 15 est précassée pour permettre à l'utilisateur de dresser facilement la poignée en temps voulu.The fold line 15 is precast to allow the user to easily raise the handle in due time.

Le flan de carton est replié suivant les lignes de pliage HW et 16.The cardboard blank is folded along the fold lines HW and 16.

Les pattes de collage 45 et 50 et le volet 22 sont encollées sur leur face recto (face non visible sur la Fig. 6). La face verso du volet 18 est encollée.The bonding tabs 45 and 50 and the flap 22 are glued on their front side (side not visible in Fig. 6). The back side of the flap 18 is glued.

Le flan de carton 34 encollé est alors replié le long de sa ligne de pliage DU. Les volets 18 et 22 sont collés sur la face recto du pan 38, le volet 18 se superposant à la zone repoussée 49. La patte de collage 50 est collée le long du bord AY du pan 35 (côté verso) et la patte de collage 45, le long du bord AT du rabat 41 (côté verso également).The glued cardboard blank 34 is then folded along its fold line DU. The flaps 18 and 22 are glued to the front face of the pan 38, the flap 18 superimposed on the repelled zone 49. The gluing tab 50 is glued along the edge AY of the pan 35 (back side) and the gluing tab 45, along the edge AT of the flap 41 (also on the back side).

La boîte 1 peut être livrée sous cette forme encollée, à plat.Box 1 can be delivered in this glued, flat form.

Pour le conditionnement du contenu de l'emballage, la boîte 1 est mise en volume en dressant les pans de carton 35 à 38 à angle droit, de manière à former les parois latérales 5 à 8 de la boîte 1. Le rabat 43 est rabattu à l'horizontale par rotation de 90° autour de la ligne de pliage EG. Les deux zones triangulaires 46 se superposent alors aux zones triangulaires 47. Le rabat 41 est rabattu à l'horizontale, sur le rabat 43 par rotation de 90° autour de la ligne de pliage AC et forme ainsi le couvercle 9. Les deux zones triangulaires 48 se superposent alors aux deux zones triangulaires 46. Les trois zones triangulaires 46, 47, 48 superposées forment alors les pattes de fermeture 30, visibles sur les Fig.1 et 2.For packaging the contents of the packaging, the box 1 is made up by erecting the cardboard sections 35 to 38 at a right angle, so as to form the side walls 5 to 8 of the box 1. The flap 43 is folded down horizontally by rotating 90 ° around the fold line EG. The two triangular zones 46 are then superimposed on the triangular zones 47. The flap 41 is folded horizontally, on the flap 43 by rotation of 90 ° around the fold line AC and thus forms the cover 9. The two triangular zones 48 are then superimposed on the two triangular zones 46. The three superimposed triangular zones 46, 47, 48 then form the closing tabs 30, visible in FIGS. 1 and 2.

La fermeture du couvercle 9 est achevée en rabattant les pattes de fermeture 30 à la verticale sur les parois 6 et 8. Les pattes 30 recouvrent alors les découpes 32 et la pointe inférieure des pattes 30 et insérée à l'intérieur de la boîte 1 grâce aux lignes de coupe 33.The closing of the cover 9 is completed by folding the closing tabs 30 vertically on the walls 6 and 8. The tabs 30 then cover the cutouts 32 and the lower tip of the tabs 30 and inserted inside the box 1 thanks at cutting lines 33.

Un flacon 3 de matière plastique est introduit dans la boîte 1, par sa base. Son goulot 11 émerge de la boîte 1 par l'ouverture 10 du couvercle 9.A plastic bottle 3 is introduced into the box 1 through its base. Its neck 11 emerges from the box 1 through the opening 10 of the cover 9.

Les quatre rabats 39 et 40 sont assemblés par collage et forment le fond 4 de la boîte 1.The four flaps 39 and 40 are assembled by gluing and form the bottom 4 of the box 1.

L'emballage peut alors être rempli par le goulot 11. Le bouchon 12 peut être vissé sur le goulot 11. L'emballage occupe à ce moment la position représentée à la Fig. 2 et peut être stocké sans perte de place, la poignée 2 étant adossée à la paroi latérale 8.The packaging can then be filled by the neck 11. The cap 12 can be screwed onto the neck 11. The packaging now occupies the position shown in FIG. 2 and can be stored without losing space, the handle 2 being against the side wall 8.

En se référant à la Fig. 3, on peut voir l'utilité de la zone repoussée 49. La patte 13 est pliée en deux parties. La première partie est formée par les trois premières volets 18, 19 et 20 et la deuxième partie par les deux derniers volets 21, 22.Referring to FIG. 3, we can see the usefulness of the repelled area 49. The tab 13 is folded in two parts. The first part is formed by the first three parts 18, 19 and 20 and the second part by the last two parts 21, 22.

Les volets 21, 22 sont adossés à la paroi 8. Les volets 19 et 20 les recouvrent. Pour que le premier volet 18, collé à la paroi 8, puisse se situer sensiblement dans le prolongement des volets 19 et 20, il est nécessaire que la paroi 8 comporte une zone 49 repoussée vers l'extérieur de la boîte 1 et sur laquelle le volet 18 vient s'appuyer.The flaps 21, 22 are against the wall 8. The flaps 19 and 20 cover them. So that the first flap 18, glued to the wall 8, can be located substantially in the extension of the flaps 19 and 20, it is necessary for the wall 8 to have a zone 49 pushed back towards the outside of the box 1 and on which the flap 18 is supported.

Sans cette disposition particulière, le collage du volet 18 sur la paroi 8 serait peu efficace et l'esthétique de l'emballage serait atteinte.Without this particular arrangement, the bonding of the flap 18 on the wall 8 would be ineffective and the aesthetics of the packaging would be affected.

L'utilisateur peut dresser la poignée 2 par une simple pression du doigt sur le volet 21 (la ligne de pliage 15 ayant été précassée) de telle sorte que les volets 19 et 21 se placent perpendiculairement à la paroi latérale 8.The user can raise the handle 2 by a simple pressure of the finger on the flap 21 (the fold line 15 having been pre-crushed) so that the flaps 19 and 21 are placed perpendicular to the side wall 8.

Les deux languettes 23, 54 peuvent être rabattues vers l'intérieur de la poignée 2 par rotation de 90° autour des charnières 25. Les secondes languettes 56 sont rabattues également vers l'intérieur de la poignée 2 et celle-ci est alors fonctionnelle. L'emballage occupe alors la position représentée aux Fig. 1, 4 et 5.The two tongues 23, 54 can be folded inwards of the handle 2 by rotation of 90 ° around the hinges 25. The second tongues 56 are folded also inwards of the handle 2 and the latter is then functional. The packaging then occupies the position shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux formes d'exécution qui ont été décrites et représentées à titre d'exemple. De nombreuses variantes peuvent être apportées aux emballages décrits ci-dessus sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments which have been described and shown by way of example. Many variants can be made to the packaging described above without departing from the scope of the invention.

C'est ainsi que les formes et dimensions relatives de la boîte, de la poignée ou de l'ouverture ménagée dans le couvercle de la boîte peuvent être choisies au gré des besoins.This is how the relative shapes and dimensions of the box, the handle or the opening made in the cover of the box can be chosen. as needed.
