Description

La présente invention concerne un plateau gerbable en carton, carton ondulé ou matière en feuille analogue, plus particulièrement destiné au transport de gros fromages circulaires. Elle concerne également un flan pour la réalisation par pliage et collage (ou agrafage) d'un tel plateau.The present invention relates to a stackable tray made of cardboard, corrugated cardboard or similar sheet material, more particularly intended for the transport of large circular cheeses. It also relates to a blank for the production by folding and gluing (or stapling) of such a tray.

Par le brevet européen EP-A-0 234 958, on connaît déjà un tel plateau dont la forme extérieure est rectangulaire et dont les coins rectangulaires sont intérieurement coupés par une patte destinée à tangenter obliquement le fromage contenu dans ledit plateau. Auxdits coins sont agencés des tétons et des échancrures destinés au gerbage de tels plateaux.By European patent EP-A-0 234 958, such a tray is already known, the external shape of which is rectangular and the rectangular corners of which are internally cut by a tab intended to obliquely tangent the cheese contained in said tray. At said corners are arranged pins and notches intended for stacking such trays.

Dans un tel plateau connu, lesdits coins rectangulaires, qui ne servent qu'au gerbage, constituent un encombrement inutile et sont cause d'une consommation excessive de matière en feuille.In such a known tray, said rectangular corners, which are used only for stacking, constitute unnecessary space and cause excessive consumption of sheet material.

La présente invention a pour objet de remédier à ces inconvénients et de permettre de réduire l'encombrement de tels plateaux et la réduction de matière première pour la réalisation de ceux-ci.The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks and to make it possible to reduce the size of such trays and the reduction of raw material for the production thereof.

A cette fin, selon l'invention, le plateau gerbable en une matière en feuille souple, telle que le carton, le carton ondulé ou analogue, plus particulièrement destiné au transport de gros fromages circulaires, est remarquable :

  • en ce qu'il comprend :
    • . un panneau central de fond, qui présente la forme d'un octogone au moins approximativement régulier et dont les côtés sont formés au moins en partie par des lignes de pliage ;
    • . quatre volets latéraux triangulaires orthogonaux audit panneau central et dont chacun est relié par sa base à un côté dudit panneau central par l'intermédiaire d'une desdites lignes de pliage, lesdits volets latéraux triangulaires étant deux à deux diamétralement opposés ;
    • . quatre volets latéraux rectangulaires orthogonaux audit panneau central et dont chacun est relié par un de ses côtés à un côté dudit panneau central par l'intermédiaire d'une desdites lignes de pliage, lesdits volets latéraux rectangulaires étant deux à deux diamétralement opposés ; et
    • . des rabats orthogonaux audit panneau central et prolongeant les volets latéraux rectangulaires, lesdits rabats étant reliés auxdits volets latéraux rectangulaires par des lignes de pliage perpendiculaires à ladite ligne de pliage reliant ledit volet latéral rectangulaire correspondant audit panneau central ; et
  • en ce que :
    • . périphériquement, lesdits volets latéraux triangulaires et lesdits volets latéraux rectangulaires sont disposés en alternance ;
    • . chaque volet latéral triangulaire est rendu solidaire de chacun des deux rabats qui sont dirigés vers lui et qui prolongent respectivement les deux volets latéraux rectangulaires qui encadrent ledit volet latéral triangulaire ;
    • . chaque volet latéral triangulaire comporte, à son sommet opposé à ladite ligne de pliage reliant ledit volet latéral triangulaire audit panneau central, un téton de gerbage ;
    • . ledit panneau central comporte, au voisinage de chacune desdites lignes de pliage reliant un volet latéral triangulaire audit panneau central, une échancrure de gerbage en correspondance avec le téton de gerbage du volet latéral triangulaire correspondant ; et
    • . la hauteur desdits rabats, parallèlement à ladite ligne de pliage reliant ledit volet latéral rectangulaire correspondant audit panneau central, est inférieure à la hauteur totale desdits volets latéraux triangulaires perpendiculairement auxdites lignes de pliage reliant lesdits volets latéraux triangulaires audit panneau central, de sorte que lesdits tétons de gerbage font saillie au-dessus des rabats solidarisés des volets latéraux triangulaires.
To this end, according to the invention, the stackable tray made of a flexible sheet material, such as cardboard, corrugated cardboard or the like, more particularly intended for the transport of large circular cheeses, is remarkable:
  • in that it includes:
    • . a central bottom panel, which has the shape of an at least approximately regular octagon and whose sides are formed at least in part by fold lines;
    • . four triangular side flaps orthogonal to said central panel and each of which is connected by its base to one side of said central panel via one of said fold lines, said triangular side flaps being two to two diametrically opposite;
    • . four rectangular side flaps orthogonal to said central panel and each of which is connected by one of its sides to one side of said central panel via one of said fold lines, said rectangular side flaps being two to two diametrically opposite; and
    • . flaps orthogonal to said central panel and extending the rectangular side flaps, said flaps being connected to said rectangular side flaps by fold lines perpendicular to said fold line connecting said rectangular side flap corresponding to said central panel; and
  • in that :
    • . peripherally, said triangular side flaps and said rectangular side flaps are arranged alternately;
    • . each triangular side flap is made integral with each of the two flaps which are directed towards it and which extend respectively the two rectangular side flaps which frame said triangular side flap;
    • . each triangular side flap comprises, at its apex opposite to said fold line connecting said triangular side flap to said central panel, a stacking stud;
    • . said central panel comprises, in the vicinity of each of said fold lines connecting a triangular side flap to said central panel, a stacking notch corresponding to the stacking stud of the corresponding triangular side flap; and
    • . the height of said flaps, parallel to said fold line connecting said rectangular side flap corresponding to said central panel, is less than the total height of said triangular side flaps perpendicular to said fold lines connecting said triangular side flaps to said central panel, so that said pins stacking protrude above the integral flaps of the triangular side flaps.

Ainsi, grâce à l'invention, on obtient un plateau gerbable épousant au plus près le contour du fromage qu'il contient.Thus, thanks to the invention, a stackable tray is obtained which closely follows the outline of the cheese it contains.

Avantageusement, à chaque volet latéral rectangulaire, sont associés deux rabats prolongeant les extrémités libres opposées dudit volet latéral rectangulaire, et chaque volet latéral triangulaire est rendu solidaire de chacun desdits rabats qui sont dirigés vers lui et qui prolongent respectivement les deux volets latéraux rectangulaires qui encadrent ledit volet latéral triangulaire.Advantageously, each rectangular side flap is associated with two flaps extending the opposite free ends of said rectangular side flap, and each triangular side flap is made integral with each of said flaps which are directed towards it and which respectively extend the two rectangular side flaps which frame said triangular side flap.

De préférence, afin d'assurer la continuité des côtés latéraux dudit plateau, au moins l'un des deux rabats solidaires d'un volet latéral triangulaire a une longueur suffisante pour joindre le volet latéral rectangulaire auquel il est relié au volet latéral rectangulaire disposé du côté opposé dudit volet latéral triangulaire.Preferably, in order to ensure the continuity of the lateral sides of said tray, at least one of the two flaps secured to a triangular side flap has a length sufficient to join the rectangular side flap to which it is connected to the rectangular side flap disposed of the opposite side of said triangular side flap.

Pour l'écoulement d'éventuels liquides produits par le fromage, il est avantageux que ledit panneau central comporte des ouvertures.For the flow of any liquids produced by the cheese, it is advantageous for said central panel to have openings.

Pour la réalisation du plateau conforme à la présente invention, celle-ci concerne de plus un flan en une matière en feuille souple, telle que le carton, le carton ondulé ou analogue, remarquable :

  • en ce qu'il comprend :
    • . un panneau central, qui présente la forme d'un octogone au moins approximativement régulier et dont les côtés sont formés au moins en partie par des lignes de pliage ;
    • . quatre volets latéraux triangulaires, dont chacun est relié par sa base à un côté dudit panneau central par l'intermédiaire d'une desdites lignes de pliage, lesdits volets latéraux triangulaires étant deux à deux opposés par rapport au centre dudit panneau central ;
    • . quatre volets latéraux rectangulaires, dont chacun est relié par un de ses côtés à un côté dudit panneau central par l'intermédiaire d'une desdites lignes de pliage, lesdits volets latéraux rectangulaires étant deux à deux opposés par rapport au centre dudit panneau central ; et
    • . des rabats prolongeant les volets latéraux rectangulaires, lesdits rabats étant reliés auxdits volets latéraux rectangulaires par des lignes de pliage perpendiculaires à ladite ligne de pliage reliant ledit volet latéral rectangulaire correspondant audit panneau central ; et
  • en ce que :
    • . périphériquement, lesdits volets latéraux triangulaires et lesdits volets latéraux rectangulaires sont disposés en alternance ;
    • . chaque volet latéral triangulaire comporte, à son sommet opposé à ladite ligne de pliage reliant ledit volet latéral triangulaire audit panneau central, un téton de gerbage ;
    • . ledit panneau central comporte, au voisinage de chacune desdites lignes de pliage reliant un volet latéral triangulaire audit panneau central, une échancrure de gerbage en correspondance avec le téton de gerbage du volet latéral triangulaire correspondant ; et
    • . la hauteur desdits rabats, parallèlement à ladite ligne de pliage reliant ledit volet latéral rectangulaire correspondant audit panneau central, est inférieure à la hauteur totale desdits volets latéraux triangulaires perpendiculairement auxdites lignes de pliage reliant lesdits volets latéraux triangulaires audit panneau central.
For the production of the tray in accordance with the present invention, the latter further relates to a blank made of a flexible sheet material, such as cardboard, corrugated cardboard or the like, remarkable:
  • in that it includes:
    • . a central panel, which has the shape of an at least approximately regular octagon and whose sides are formed at least in part by fold lines;
    • . four triangular side flaps, each of which is connected by its base to one side of said central panel via one of said fold lines, said triangular side flaps being two by two opposite with respect to the center of said central panel;
    • . four rectangular side flaps, each of which is connected by one of its sides to one side of said central panel via one of said fold lines, said rectangular side flaps being two by two opposite with respect to the center of said central panel; and
    • . flaps extending the rectangular side flaps, said flaps being connected to said rectangular side flaps by fold lines perpendicular to said fold line connecting said rectangular side flap corresponding to said central panel; and
  • in that :
    • . peripherally, said triangular side flaps and said rectangular side flaps are arranged alternately;
    • . each triangular side flap comprises, at its apex opposite to said fold line connecting said triangular side flap to said central panel, a stacking stud;
    • . said central panel comprises, in the vicinity of each of said fold lines connecting a triangular side flap to said central panel, a stacking notch corresponding to the stacking stud of the corresponding triangular side flap; and
    • . the height of said flaps, parallel to said fold line connecting said rectangular side flap corresponding to said central panel, is less than the total height of said triangular side flaps perpendicular to said fold lines connecting said triangular side flaps to said central panel.

A chaque volet latéral rectangulaire sont avantageusement associés deux rabats prolongeant les extrémités libres opposées dudit volet latéral rectangulaire.Each rectangular side flap is advantageously associated with two flaps extending the opposite free ends of said rectangular side flap.

De préférence, au moins l'un desdits rabats se trouvant en regard d'un volet latéral triangulaire a une longueur approximativement égale à celle du côté dudit panneau central auquel est relié ledit volet latéral triangulaire.Preferably, at least one of said flaps located opposite a triangular side flap has a length approximately equal to that of the side of said central panel to which said triangular side flap is connected.

Chaque téton de gerbage peut être découpé au moins partiellement dans un desdits rabats se trouvant en regard du volet latéral triangulaire correspondant.Each stacking stud can be cut at least partially in one of said flaps located opposite the corresponding triangular side flap.

Les figures du dessin annexé feront bien comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée. Sur ces figures, des références identiques désignent des éléments semblables.The figures of the appended drawing will make it clear how the invention can be implemented. In these figures, identical references designate similar elements.

La figure 1 montre, à plat, un flan pour la réalisation du plateau conforme à la présente invention.Figure 1 shows, flat, a blank for making the tray according to the present invention.

La figure 2 montre, en perspective, le plateau de l'invention, obtenu à partir du flan de la figure 1.FIG. 2 shows, in perspective, the tray of the invention, obtained from the blank of FIG. 1.

Le flan F de carton ou de carton ondulé, conforme à la présente invention et représenté sur la figure 1, comporte un panneau central 1, présentant la forme d'un octogone au moins approximativement régulier de côtés c, quatre volets latéraux triangulaires 2 et quatre volets latéraux rectangulaires 3.The blank F of cardboard or corrugated cardboard, according to the present invention and represented in FIG. 1, comprises a central panel 1, having the shape of an octagon at least approximately regular with sides c, four triangular lateral flaps 2 and four rectangular side flaps 3.

Chacun des quatre volets latéraux triangulaires 2 est relié par sa base, par l'intermédiaire d'une ligne de pliage 4, à un côté c dudit panneau central 1, ladite ligne de pliage 4 occupant la plus grande partie dudit côté. De même, chacun des quatre volets rectangulaires 3 est relié par un de ses côtés, par l'intermédiaire d'une ligne de pliage 5, à un côté c dudit panneau central 1. Les volets latéraux triangulaires 2 sont deux à deux opposés par rapport au centre dudit panneau central 1. Il en est de même des volets latéraux rectangulaires 3 et, à la périphérie dudit panneau central 1, lesdits volets latéraux triangulaires 2 et rectangulaires 3 sont alternés.Each of the four triangular side flaps 2 is connected by its base, via a fold line 4, to one side c of said central panel 1, said fold line 4 occupying most of said side. Similarly, each of the four rectangular flaps 3 is connected by one of its sides, by means of a fold line 5, to one side c of said central panel 1. The triangular side flaps 2 are two by two opposite with respect to at the center of said central panel 1. The same is true of the rectangular side flaps 3 and, at the periphery of said central panel 1, said triangular 2 and rectangular 3 side flaps are alternated.

Des rabats 6 prolongent les extrémités libres opposées de chaque volet latéral rectangulaire 3, lesdits rabats 6 étant reliés audit volet latéral rectangulaire 3 correspondant par des lignes de pliage 7 perpendiculaires aux lignes de pliage 5.Flaps 6 extend the opposite free ends of each rectangular side flap 3, said flaps 6 being connected to said corresponding rectangular side flap 3 by fold lines 7 perpendicular to the fold lines 5.

Chaque volet latéral triangulaire 2 comporte, à son sommet opposé à la ligne de pliage 4 correspondante, un téton de gerbage 8. Avec ce téton de gerbage 8, chaque volet latéral triangulaire 2 présente, perpendiculairement à la ligne de pliage 4 correspondante, une hauteur totale H.Each triangular side flap 2 has, at its apex opposite the corresponding fold line 4, a stacking stud 8. With this stacking stud 8, each triangular side flap 2 has, perpendicular to the corresponding fold line 4, a height total H.

La hauteur h des rabats 6, parallèlement aux lignes de pliage 5, est inférieure à la hauteur totale H desdits volets latéraux triangulaires 2.The height h of the flaps 6, parallel to the fold lines 5, is less than the total height H of said triangular side flaps 2.

Par ailleurs, au moins l'un des rabats 6 se trouvant en regard de chaque volet triangulaire 2 a une longueur 1 au moins approximativement égale à celle du côté c dudit panneau central 1 auquel est relié ledit volet latéral triangulaire 2, par l'intermédiaire de la ligne de pliage 4.Furthermore, at least one of the flaps 6 located opposite each triangular flap 2 has a length 1 at least approximately equal to that of the side c of said central panel 1 to which said triangular side flap 2 is connected, via of the fold line 4.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 1, chaque téton de gerbage 8 est découpé partiellement dans le rabat 6 de longueur 1 se trouvant en regard du volet latéral triangulaire 2 correspondant.As can be seen in Figure 1, each stacking nipple 8 is partially cut in the flap 6 of length 1 located opposite the triangular side flap 2 corresponding.

Au voisinage de chaque ligne de pliage 4, le panneau central 1 comporte une échancrure de gerbage 9 en correspondance avec le téton de gerbage 8 correspondant.In the vicinity of each fold line 4, the central panel 1 has a stacking notch 9 corresponding to the corresponding stacking stud 8.

Dans le panneau central 1 sont percées des ouvertures 10.In the central panel 1 are openings 10.

Pour obtenir le plateau gerbable P de l'invention, montré par la figure 7, à partir du flan F, montré par la figure 1, on replie les volets latéraux triangulaires 2 et les volets latéraux rectangulaires 3, du même côté du panneau central 1, autour des lignes de pliage 4 et 5, respectivement, jusqu'à les amener dans une position orthogonale audit panneau central 1. Ensuite, on plie légèrement les rabats 6 autour des lignes de pliage 7, pour les appliquer contre les volets latéraux triangulaires 2 et on solidarise, par exemple par collage, chaque volet latéral triangulaire 2 avec les deux rabats 6 associés. On remarquera que :

  • du fait de la longueur l donnée à au moins l'un des rabats 6 associés à chaque volet triangulaire 2, cette longueur est suffisante pour joindre des volets rectangulaires 3 séparés par un volet triangulaire 2, de sorte que la continuité du rebord périphérique du plateau P est assurée ;
  • du fait du rapport entre les hauteurs h et H, les tétons de gerbage 8 font saillie au-dessus des rabats 6. Ils peuvent donc être introduits dans les échancrures de gerbage 9 d'un plateau P identique ;
  • le panneau central 1 forme le fond du plateau P, le rebord périphérique de celui-ci étant formé alternativement par les volets latéraux rectangulaires 3, d'une part, et les volets latéraux triangulaires 2 et les rabats 6, d'autre part.
To obtain the stackable tray P of the invention, shown in Figure 7, from the blank F, shown in Figure 1, we fold the triangular side flaps 2 and the rectangular side flaps 3, on the same side of the central panel 1 , around the fold lines 4 and 5, respectively, until they are brought into a position orthogonal to said central panel 1. Then, the flaps 6 are slightly folded around the fold lines 7, to apply them against the triangular side flaps 2 and is joined, for example by gluing, each triangular side flap 2 with the two associated flaps 6. Note that:
  • due to the length l given to at least one of the flaps 6 associated with each triangular flap 2, this length is sufficient to join rectangular flaps 3 separated by a triangular flap 2, so that the continuity of the peripheral edge of the plate P is insured;
  • due to the relationship between the heights h and H, the stacking pins 8 protrude above the flaps 6. They can therefore be introduced into the stacking notches 9 of an identical plate P;
  • the central panel 1 forms the bottom of the tray P, the peripheral rim thereof being formed alternately by the rectangular side flaps 3, on the one hand, and the triangular side flaps 2 and the flaps 6, on the other hand.
