Description

La présente invention est relative à une caisse de transport et de présentation de produits divers, notamment de sachets de chips.The present invention relates to a case for transporting and presenting various products, in particular sachets of chips.

Ce type de caisses, généralement de forme parallélépipèdique et en carton, comporte un fond, des parois verticales, une coiffe destinée à être placée sur la partie supérieure desdites parois et au moins une plaque intermédiaire formant étagère pour supporter plusieurs couches de produits, tout en évitant la détérioration de ces produits.This type of boxes, generally of rectangular and cardboard shape, has a bottom, vertical walls, a cap intended to be placed on the upper part of said walls and at least one intermediate plate forming a shelf for supporting several layers of products, while avoiding the deterioration of these products.

Ces caisses servent simultanément au transport des produits et à la vente de ceux-ci, notamment dans les grandes surfaces.These cases are used simultaneously for the transport of products and for the sale of these, especially in supermarkets.

A cet effet, l'une des parois verticales de la caisse comporte une portion de surface découpable formant une ouverture pour faciliter l'accès à l'intérieur de la caisse et le retrait des produits.For this purpose, one of the vertical walls of the box has a cutable surface portion forming an opening to facilitate access to the interior of the box and the withdrawal of products.

La ou les plaques intermédiaires sont soutenues par un système de support qui, jusqu'à présent est constitué par découpage directement sur les caisses d'emballage, ou par des croisillons ou par des ceintures formant support disposées à l'intérieur de la caisse entre le fond et les différentes plaques intermédiaires.The intermediate plate or plates are supported by a support system which, until now, has been formed by cutting directly on the packaging boxes, or by cross-pieces or by belts forming a support arranged inside the box between the bottom and the various intermediate plates.

Mais, le montage de ces systèmes de support connus est relativement long.However, the assembly of these known support systems is relatively long.

Par ailleurs, l'utilisation de ceintures nécessite un plan de rangement des produits à travers les espaces restant libres et, à l'ouverture ce genre de système de support rend la présentation des produits très inesthétique.In addition, the use of belts requires a product storage plan through the remaining free spaces and, upon opening, this kind of support system makes the presentation of products very unattractive.

De plus, ce type de caisses qui sert également au transport des produits, doit pouvoir résister à des charges importantes, de l'ordre de 300 Kg, car elles sont superposées sur des palettes afin de faciliter la manutention de ces caisses et plusieurs palettes peuvent être superposées les unes sur les autres pour diminuer les espaces de stockage.In addition, this type of boxes which is also used to transport products, must be able to withstand heavy loads, of the order of 300 Kg, because they are superimposed on pallets to facilitate handling of these boxes and several pallets can be superimposed on each other to reduce storage space.

Compte tenu des charges appliquées sur ces caisses, les parois verticales doivent pouvoir résister au flambage afin d'éviter un écrasement des produits, notamment lorsque ces produits sont fragiles comme par exemple les sachets de chips.Given the loads applied to these boxes, the vertical walls must be able to resist buckling in order to avoid crushing of the products, in particular when these products are fragile, such as for example the sachets of chips.

Jusqu'à présent, la solution consiste à utiliser des cartons de forte épaisseur ce qui augmente le poids des caisses et, de ce fait, leur prix de revient et le coût d'affrètement.So far, the solution has been to use thick cardboard which increases the weight of the boxes and, therefore, their cost and charter cost.

La présente invention a pour but d'éviter ces inconvénients en proposant une caisse qui présente une meilleure résistance à la compression dynamique et à la compression de dièdre, tout en utilisant des cartons de plus faible épaisseur et qui supprime toute opération de mise en forme et de centrage à l'intérieur de la caisse.The object of the present invention is to avoid these drawbacks by proposing a box which has better resistance to dynamic compression and to dihedral compression, while using thinner cartons and which eliminates any shaping operation and centering inside the box.

La présente invention a donc pour objet une caisse de transport et de présentation de produits, notamment de sachets de chips, comportant un fond, des parois verticales, une coiffe destinée à être placée sur la partie supérieure desdites parois et au moins une plaque intercalaire formant une étagère, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comprend des moyens de support de ladite plaque intercalaire et de rigidification d'au moins deux parois verticales opposées, formés par au moins deux liens comportant à chaque extrémité un organe d'emboîtement dans une ouverture correspondante, ménagée dans lesdites parois verticales opposées,

  • lesdits liens sont parallèles,
  • lesdits liens sont souples ou rigides,
  • chaque organe d'emboîtement est formé par un profilé comportant une plaque horizontale, une première plaque verticale disposée sur l'un des bords de la plaque horizontale et ménageant avec la portion de la première plaque verticale s'étendant du même côté de la plaque horizontale, une encoche destinée à recevoir l'un des bords de l'ouverture correspondante de la paroi verticale de la caisse,
  • l'organe d'emboîtement comporte un passage pour une extrémité du lien,
  • le pressage est formé par un orifice ménagé dans la plaque horizontale,
  • le passage est formé par une découpe ménagée sur une portion de la plaque horizontale et sur toute la hauteur de la première et de la seconde plaque verticale,
  • la première plaque verticale a une forme quelconque, par exemple rectangulaire, carrée ou ronde
  • la seconde plaque verticale a une hauteur supérieure à la hauteur de la portion de la première plaque s'étendant du même côté de ladite plaque horizontale,
  • la seconde plaque verticale a sensiblement une hauteur identique à celle de la portion de la première plaque verticale s'étendant de l'autre côté de ladite plaque horizontale,
  • la distance entre les secondes plaques verticales des deux organes d'emboîtement opposés reliés par le lien est sensiblement égale à la distance séparant les deux parois verticales opposées de la caisse, reliées par ledit lien et lesdits organes d'emboîtement,
  • les ouvertures destinées à recevoir chacune un organe d'emboîtement sont de forme rectangulaire,

Sur la Fig. 1, on a représenté une caisse 1, selon la présente invention, pour le transport et la présentation de produits divers et notamment de sachets de chips.In Fig. 1, there is shown a box 1, according to the present invention, for the transport and presentation of various products and in particular sachets of chips.

La caisse 1, de forme générale parallélépipèdique et en carton par exemple ondulé, se compose d'un fond la, de quatre parois verticales 2, 3, 4 et 5 s'étendant vers le haut et d'une coiffe 6 destinée à s'emboîter sur la partie supérieure des parois verticales.The box 1, of generally parallelepiped shape and made of corrugated cardboard for example, consists of a bottom 1a, four vertical walls 2, 3, 4 and 5 extending upwards and a cover 6 intended for fit on the upper part of the vertical walls.

La paroi verticale 2 formant la paroi avant de la caisse 1, peut comporter une portion de surface découpable, non représentée, formant une ouverture pour faciliter l'accès à l'intérieur de la caisse et le retrait des produits.The vertical wall 2 forming the front wall of the box 1, may include a portion of cuttable surface, not shown, forming an opening to facilitate access to the interior of the box and the withdrawal of products.

Cette caisse 1 comporte au moins une plaque intercalaire 7 formant une étagère pour superposer plusieurs couches de produits.This box 1 comprises at least one intermediate plate 7 forming a shelf for superimposing several layers of products.

Par ailleurs, la caisse 1 comporte également des moyens 10 de support de la plaque intercalaire 7 et de rigidification d'au moins deux parois verticales opposées, par exemple les parois 3 et 5.Furthermore, the body 1 also comprises means 10 for supporting the intermediate plate 7 and for stiffening at least two opposite vertical walls, for example the walls 3 and 5.

Ces moyens 10 de support et rigidification sont formés par deux liens parallèles 11 comportant, à chaque extrémité un organe d'emboîtement 20 dans une ouverture correspondante 12, ménagée dans les parois verticales opposées 3 et 5. L'organe d'emboîtement 20 est introduit dans l'ouverture 12 correspondante depuis l'intérieur de la caisse 1.These support and stiffening means 10 are formed by two parallel links 11 comprising, at each end a fitting member 20 in a corresponding opening 12, formed in the opposite vertical walls 3 and 5. The fitting member 20 is introduced in the corresponding opening 12 from inside the box 1.

En se reportant à la Fig. 2, on voit que le lien 11 est relié à chacune de ses extrémités à l'organe d'emboîtement 20.Referring to FIG. 2, it can be seen that the link 11 is connected at each of its ends to the fitting member 20.

Comme représenté aux Figs. 2 et 3, l'organe d'emboîtement 20 est formé par un profilé, par exemple moulé ou extrudé.As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the nesting member 20 is formed by a profile, for example molded or extruded.

Cet organe d'emboîtement 20 comporte une plaque horizontale 21 et une première plaque verticale 23 disposée sur le bord 21a de la plaque horizontale 21 et comportant, d'une part, une portion 23a s'étendant d'un côté de la plaque horizontale 21 et une portion 23b s'étendant de l'autre côté de ladite plaque horizontale 21.This interlocking member 20 comprises a horizontal plate 21 and a first vertical plate 23 disposed on the edge 21a of the horizontal plate 21 and comprising, on the one hand, a portion 23a extending on one side of the horizontal plate 21 and a portion 23b extending on the other side of said horizontal plate 21.

L'organe d'emboîtement 20 comporte également une seconde plaque verticale 24 s'étendant perpendiculairement à l'une des faces de la plaque horizontale 21 ménageant avec la portion 23b de la première plaque verticale 23, une encoche 25 destinée à recevoir l'un des bords de l'ouverture 12 de la paroi 3 ou 5 de la caisse 1.The nesting member 20 also includes a second vertical plate 24 extending perpendicularly to one of the faces of the horizontal plate 21 forming with the portion 23b of the first vertical plate 23, a notch 25 intended to receive one of the edges of the opening 12 of the wall 3 or 5 of the body 1.

L'organe d'emboîtement 20 comporte un passage pour une extrémité du lien 11.The nesting member 20 has a passage for one end of the link 11.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation représenté aux Figs. 2 et 3, le passage de l'extrémité correspondante du lien 11 est formé par un orifice 22 ménagé dans la plaque horizontale 21 et de forme complémentaire audit lien 11.According to a first embodiment shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the passage of the corresponding end of the link 11 is formed by an orifice 22 formed in the horizontal plate 21 and of shape complementary to said link 11.

Chaque extrémité du lien 11 en matériau souple ou rigide est introduite dans l'orifice 22 de la plaque horizontale 21 de chaque organe d'emboîtement 20 et ladite extrémité peut-être, en fonction du matériau utilisé pour le lien 11, nouée, soudée, cousue, collée ou rivetée avec la partie centrale dudit lien.Each end of the link 11 made of flexible or rigid material is introduced into the orifice 22 of the horizontal plate 21 of each interlocking member 20 and said end may be, depending on the material used for the link 11, knotted, welded, sewn, glued or riveted to the central part of said link.

Selon un second mode de réalisation représenté à la Fig. 6, le passage de l'extrémité correspondante du lien est formé par une découpe 30 ménagée sur une portion de la plaque horizontale 20 et sur toute la hauteur de la première et de la seconde plaque verticale, respectivement 23 et 24.According to a second embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the passage of the corresponding end of the link is formed by a cutout 30 formed on a portion of the horizontal plate 20 and over the entire height of the first and of the second vertical plate, respectively 23 and 24.

Chaque extrémité du lien 11 peut être fixée sur la partie centrale dudit lien et chaque boucle ainsi formée peut être introduite dans la découpe 30.Each end of the link 11 can be fixed on the central part of said link and each loop thus formed can be introduced into the cutout 30.

Il est également possible d'introduire l'extrémité correspondante du lien 11 dans la découpe 30 et de fixer ensuite, cette extrémité sur la partie centrale dudit lien.It is also possible to introduce the corresponding end of the link 11 into the cutout 30 and then fix this end on the central part of said link.

La première plaque verticale 23 peut être de forme quelconque, par exemple rectangulaire, carrée ou ronde et sa face située à l'extérieure de la caisse peut servir de support publicitaireThe first vertical plate 23 can be of any shape, for example rectangular, square or round and its face located outside the box can serve as an advertising medium

La seconde plaque verticale 24 a, d'une part, une hauteur plus grande que la hauteur de la portion 23b de la première plaque verticale 23 et, d'autre part, une hauteur sensiblement identique à celle de la portion 23a de ladite première plaque verticale 23.The second vertical plate 24 has, on the one hand, a height greater than the height of the portion 23b of the first vertical plate 23 and, on the other hand, a height substantially identical to that of the portion 23a of said first plate vertical 23.

Comme représenté à la Fig. 3, chaque ouverture 12 destinée à recevoir un organe d'emboîtement 20 a une forme rectangulaire.As shown in Fig. 3, each opening 12 intended to receive a fitting member 20 has a rectangular shape.

La longueur de chaque ouverture 12 est sensiblement égale à la longueur d'un organe d'emboîtement 20 et la hauteur de chaque ouverture est inférieure à la hauteur de la première plaque verticale 23 dudit organe d'emboîtement 20.The length of each opening 12 is substantially equal to the length of a nesting member 20 and the height of each opening is less than the height of the first vertical plate 23 of said nesting member 20.

Lorsque le lien 11 est assemblé avec les deux organes d'emboîtement 20 comme représenté à la Fig. 2, la distance "d" séparant les secondes plaques verticales 24 des deux organes d'emboîtement 20 opposées est sensiblement égale à la distance séparant les deux parois verticales 3 et 5 opposées de la caisse 1.When the link 11 is assembled with the two interlocking members 20 as shown in FIG. 2, the distance "d" separating the second vertical plates 24 from the two opposite nesting members 20 is substantially equal to the distance separating the two vertical walls 3 and 5 opposite from the body 1.

Selon une variante représentée à la Fig. 4, chaque ouverture 12 est munie à sa partie supérieure d'un rabat 15 pivotant pour faciliter l'introduction de la première plaque verticale 23 d'un organe d'emboîtement 20.According to a variant shown in FIG. 4, each opening 12 is provided at its upper part with a pivoting flap 15 to facilitate the introduction of the first vertical plate 23 of an interlocking member 20.

En se reportant maintenant aux Figs. 5a à 5c, on va décrire l'introduction d'un organe d'emboîtement 20 dans une ouverture 12.Referring now to Figs. 5a to 5c, we will describe the introduction of a fitting member 20 into an opening 12.

Tout d'abord la portion 23a de la première plaque 23 est introduite dans l'ouverture 12 et maintenue en contact avec le bord supérieur de cette ouverture 12 (Fig. 5a).Firstly the portion 23a of the first plate 23 is introduced into the opening 12 and kept in contact with the upper edge of this opening 12 (Fig. 5a).

L'organe d'emboîtement 20 est basculé de telle manière que la portion 23b de la première plaque verticale 23 pénètre également dans l'ouverture 12 (Fig. 5b).The interlocking member 20 is tilted so that the portion 23b of the first vertical plate 23 also enters the opening 12 (Fig. 5b).

Ensuite, l'organe d'emboîtement 20 est descendu pour que le bord inférieur de l'ouverture 12 pénètre dans l'encoche 25 ménagée entre la portion 23b de la première plaque verticale 23 et la seconde plaque verticale 24 (Fig. 5c).Then, the nesting member 20 is lowered so that the lower edge of the opening 12 enters the notch 25 formed between the portion 23b of the first vertical plate 23 and the second vertical plate 24 (Fig. 5c).

La même opération est réalisée pour chaque organe d'emboîtement 20.The same operation is carried out for each nesting member 20.

La forme particulière de chacun des organes d'emboîtement 20 ne permet pas, une fois qu'il est monté dans l'ouverture 12 correspondante, d'être retiré sans la pratique du mouvement inverse de sa mise en place.The particular shape of each of the nesting members 20 does not allow, once it is mounted in the corresponding opening 12, to be removed without the practice of the reverse movement of its establishment.

Les organes d'emboîtement 20 sont identiques et n'exigent aucun sens droite-gauche lors du montage.The fitting members 20 are identical and require no right-left direction during assembly.

Une fois montés, les deux liens 11 et les organes d'emboîtement 20 constituent un support pour la plaque intercalaire 7.Once mounted, the two links 11 and the interlocking members 20 constitute a support for the intermediate plate 7.

Ainsi, ces liens 11 et ces organes d'emboîtement 20 qui constituent un support pour la plaque intercalaire 7, servent en même temps de moyens de rigidification des parois verticales 3 et 5 de la caisse 1, évitant de ce fait le flambage de ces parois lorsque plusieurs caisses sont gerbées et par conséquent la détérioration des produits transportés.Thus, these links 11 and these interlocking members 20 which constitute a support for the intermediate plate 7, serve at the same time as means of stiffening the vertical walls 3 and 5 of the body 1, thereby preventing buckling of these walls when several boxes are stacked and consequently the deterioration of the products transported.

La caisse selon la présente invention présente donc une meilleure résistance à la compression dynamique et une meilleure résistance à la compression de dièdre, ce qui permet d'utiliser des cartons de plus faible épaisseur diminuant le poids des caisses et leur prix de revient ainsi que les coûts d'affrètement.The box according to the present invention therefore has better resistance to dynamic compression and better resistance to dihedral compression, which makes it possible to use thinner boxes reducing the weight of the boxes and their cost price as well as the charter costs.

Un autre avantage de la caisse selon la présente invention réside dans le fait que toutes les opérations de mise en forme et de centrage à l'intérieur des caisses sont supprimées.Another advantage of the box according to the present invention lies in the fact that all the shaping and centering operations inside the boxes are eliminated.

Les moyens de support et rigidification utilisés dans la caisse selon la présente invention, peuvent être montés ou démontés rapidement et à volonté sans détérioration de la caisse et directement sur le lieu de conditionnement des produits.Support means and stiffening used in the crate according to the present invention, can be assembled or disassembled quickly and at will without deterioration of the crate and directly at the place of packaging of the products.
