Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sales package made of cardboard or corrugated cardboard, in particular for thermoformed pots, for example individual yoghurt pots or assembled by their flange in plates of four, six or more pots.
  • the currently known cardboard packaging for yoghurt pots makes it possible to combine several stacked pot plates in a single packaging unit.
  • Several of these packages are themselves grouped together in more resistant overpacks or trays, which are arranged on pallets in several layers. Since the known cardboard packaging does not have good stacking resistance, it is the overpack which fulfills this function.
  • the object of the invention is to eliminate the overpack and to produce a self-supporting sales package, that is to say a package which is capable of ensuring on its own resistance to stacking and which can therefore be stacked directly. on a pallet.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and for this purpose relates to a self-supporting packaging, characterized in that it comprises a bottom wall, two parallel side walls and an upper wall, said side walls having on their inner face and on any their height of the reinforcement beams formed in a single piece with them by accordion folding of said side walls towards the inside of the packaging according to parallel fold lines.
  • the packaging is produced from a single blank of rectangular cardboard, on which are marked a first series of transverse fold lines which define a bottom wall, two side walls and an upper wall of the packaging, and at least a second series of three parallel and equidistant fold lines, extending in the longitudinal direction of the blank and defining therebetween, on the one hand on the side walls, two foldable bands capable of to be folded in accordion and to form on the inner side of the side walls at least two double thickness reinforcement beams and on the other hand, on the upper wall, foldable strips capable of being folded in accordion and to form on the outer face of the upper wall at least one double thickness projection forming a grip handle or stacking tenon, the bottom wall having over its entire long ur at least one recess located in the extension of said foldable bands and whose width is at least equal to the distance between the most distant longitudinal fold lines.
  • the blank is folded by pushing said foldable strips from the side and upper walls, which makes it possible to bring out the reinforcement beams and the projection and to bring the portions of said walls located on either side closer together. said strips, then the blank is folded around the first series of fold lines, to form a parallelepiped packaging.
  • the two superimposed strips forming the reinforcement beams and the projection must be joined together to prevent the blank from coming back flat.
  • the reinforcement beams and the projection are therefore formed in one piece with the initial blank and do not require no separate manufacturing as in the packaging of the prior art.
  • the beams make it possible to ensure remarkable resistance of the packaging vis-à-vis the vertical compression stresses which are exerted when several packages are stacked on a pallet. It is therefore no longer necessary to use overpacks.
  • the width of the recess which is formed on the bottom wall is greater than the total width of the strips formed on the side walls, a longitudinal slit is formed on the bottom wall, after pleating thereof. in which is likely to fit the projection formed on the upper wall of an underlying packaging of a stack of stacked packaging.
  • the upper plates of the pots can be maintained by the fact that along the edge formed between the upper wall and one of the side walls, there are cut, on the upper wall, tongues articulated along fold lines formed on said side wall, parallel to said edge and at a distance therefrom substantially equal to the thickness of the peripheral flange of the pots, said tabs being intended to penetrate under the flange between two neighboring pots of the same top plate.
  • the packaging described above is produced from a single blank, but it is also part of the invention to produce it from two separate blanks.
  • the packaging is produced from a first blank comprising the bottom wall and, on either side thereof, the two side walls on which are formed, by folding, the reinforcing beams, and a second flat blank, capable of being fixed to the edges of said side walls erected vertically, to form the upper wall of the package.
  • Said second blank may consist of a flat cardboard plate, therefore devoid of a projection on the upper wall.
  • the packaging according to this embodiment has the advantage of being stackable according to a so-called cross stacking mode, which consists in arranging the packaging in a layer so that their longitudinal dimension is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal dimension of the packaging. layers located above and below said layer.
  • This is possible here since the upper wall of the packages does not have a projection, but is not feasible with the packages formed from a single blank, because when the pleat is folded, the formation of the protrusion on the upper wall.
  • the protruding packages must therefore be stacked in the so-called columnar mode, in which the packages of all the layers are oriented in parallel so that the sail of each package can fit into the slot formed in the bottom wall of the package. lying above him.
  • a drawback of the columnar stacking mode is that the packaging columns have no connection with one another and therefore risk oscillating with respect to one another. To avoid this, it is usual to insert, every two or three layers of packaging, an intermediate cardboard plate extending over the entire surface of a layer. By dividing the height of the columns, the intermediate plates ensure good cohesion of the packaging on the pallet. It is understood that in the cross stacking mode, the intermediate plates become useless since the packages partially overlap and cannot move relative to each other.
  • a second advantage of producing the packaging in two separate blanks lies in the fact that the upper wall can be made of less resistant and more economical cardboard than the cardboard used for the rest of the packaging, since the upper wall does not have to endure stacking efforts.
  • the upper wall can be constituted for example by a sheet of compact cardboard, and the other blank by corrugated cardboard.
  • the packaging is produced from a first blank comprising the upper wall with its projection and, on either side of said wall, the two side walls with their beam reinforcement and a second blank constituting the bottom of the packaging, the two blanks being connected to each other by gluing.
  • the first blank will be made of resistant corrugated cardboard, since the side walls must withstand the stacking efforts, with an interior face of printable quality in order to be able to print information thereon on the packaged product, while the second blank may be in one more economical, less resistant and non-printable cardboard.
  • the self-supporting sales package 10 shown in Figure 4 is made from the blank 12 of cardboard or corrugated board shown in Figure 1.
  • the blank is substantially rectangular and its grooves 14 are oriented in the longitudinal direction.
  • It comprises four walls 16, 18, 20, 22 juxtaposed in the longitudinal direction and hinged together by fold lines 24, 26, 28, so that the blank can be folded to form a parallelepiped packaging in which said flaps respectively constitute a first side wall, a bottom wall, a second side wall and an upper wall.
  • each of the side walls 16 and 20 are marked two re-entrant fold lines 30, 32 and a projecting fold line 34 between the two lines 30, 32, these lines being parallel and equidistant from each other and oriented in the longitudinal direction of the blank .
  • the re-entrant fold lines 30, 32 are respectively equidistant from the longitudinal edges of the wall 16 (or of the wall 20). Lines 30, 32, 34 define between them foldable bands 35, 37.
  • the foldable strips of cardboard 39 , 41 included between the projecting fold lines 36, 38 occupy only the central part of the upper wall 22.
  • the portions of this wall located in the extension of said strip up to the fold line 28 and up to extreme edge of the blank are hollowed out.
  • the distance between the longitudinal edges of the recesses 42, 44 thus formed is the same as that which separates the fold lines 36, 38, but said edges are slightly offset in the transverse direction relative to the latter so as to define on the wall upper 22 of the projections 46, 48 and notches 50, 52 of shape complementary to that of the projections.
  • the bottom wall 18 is provided with a recess 58 in ⁇ extending over the entire length of the wall and which divides it into two complementary portions 18a, 18b.
  • the width of the central part of the recess is slightly greater than the total width of the foldable bands 35, 37.
  • the edges of the recess 58 have at their ends protrusions 60, 62 and notches 64, 66 of complementary shape.
  • incisions 72 in U which define flaps 68, 70 of small width intended to be erected perpendicular to the plane of the bottom wall.
  • flaps 68, 70 of small width intended to be erected perpendicular to the plane of the bottom wall.
  • Gluing tabs 74, 76 are provided on the edges longitudinal side walls 16 and 20 to maintain the flaps in the upright position.
  • Hook-shaped studs 77 are formed on the upper wall 22.
  • the blank is shaped on an automatic machine which applies glue to the face of the strips 35 and 37 not visible in FIG. 1 and to the face of the strips 39, 41 visible in this figure, and which then exerts on the blank two transverse forces directed in the direction of the arrows in FIG. 1.
  • the strips 35 and 37 can be joined other than by gluing.
  • a tongue 83 which can be folded along a fold line coincident with the longitudinal fold line 30, and on the longitudinal fold line 32 is cut a slot 85.
  • the blank is folded, introduces the tongue 83 into the slot 85, which locks the two strips 35, 37 in the position applied to one another.
  • the side walls 16, 20 and the flaps 68, 70 are then erected perpendicular to the bottom wall 18, then the flaps are glued to the tabs 74, 76.
  • the packaging is then in the state illustrated in FIG. 3.
  • two lower pot plates 81 comprising four pots each or individual pots, so that two pots of each plate fit into the space formed between the beams 78, 80 and the flaps 68, 70 and that the other two pots are located outside the flaps and rest on the projections 73.
  • Two upper plates of pots 81 or individual pots are then placed on the lower plates. The machine then closes the upper wall 22 and glues the tabs 54, 56 on the side wall 16, then it presses the hook-shaped studs 77 which snap into the orifice 88 formed on the upper plate of pots.
  • the lower plates can no longer be removed from the packaging since they abut against the flaps 68, 70. Likewise, the upper plates are retained by the hook-shaped lugs 77.
  • the beams 78, 80 being made up of two thicknesses of cardboard and extending over the entire height of the packaging, they give it excellent resistance to stacking.
  • the beams are provided at their upper end with tenons 90, 92 which are capable of projecting through holes 94, 96 drilled in the upper wall 22.
  • the tenons 90, 92 of each package come s insert into holes 98, 100 drilled in the bottom wall 18 of the package located above it.
  • the pins 90, 92 therefore ensure good centering of the stacked packaging.
  • the recess 58 may have another shape so that there is no slit.
  • FIG. 5 shows a blank 102 according to another embodiment of the invention.
  • This blank also includes four walls successive 16, 18, 20, 22, but on each of the side walls 16, 20 are formed two foldable bands 35, 104 and 37, 106, intended to form two vertical beams in each side wall.
  • two recesses 58, 108 which define thereon three portions 18a, 18b and 18c capable of approaching when folding said bands, and on the upper wall 22 are formed two foldable bands 41, 110 intended to form thereon two projections.

  • the packaging obtained comprises four reinforcing beams.
  • the bonding tabs 74, 76 can be articulated on the flaps 68, 70 instead of being on the bottom wall 18. Or, said tabs can be completely eliminated in the case of the embodiment of the Figure 4 where the lower pot plates are astride the flaps 68, 70, because the flaps will be held in a vertical position by the pots themselves and they can therefore oppose the withdrawal of the lower plates.
  • the packaging may include more than two beams per side wall. It is also possible to make a packaging for a single layer of pots.
  • the beams may have a mid-height notch in which can fit the edge of a plate flange.
  • This packaging is produced from two separate blanks, one, 120, comprising the side walls 16, 20 provided with their reinforcing beam 78, 80 and the bottom wall 18, as in the embodiment of FIG. 3, and the other, 122, constituting the upper wall of the package.
  • the blank 120 is made of corrugated cardboard having good stacking resistance, while the blank 122 can be made of a less resistant compact cardboard since it does not support stacking effort.
  • the blank 122 is constituted by a simple rectangular cardboard plate provided on two parallel edges with tabs 124, 126 intended to be glued to the side walls 16, 20 of the other blank.
  • the blank 122 since the blank 122 has no protrusion on its upper face, it is possible to arrange the packages in cross stacking, which avoids the use of intermediate plates between the layers of packaging.
  • the self-supporting packaging of Figure 8 is also made from two separate blanks.
  • One of the blanks 130 includes the side walls 16, 20 with their reinforcing beam 78, 80 and the cover wall 22 with its projection 82, while the other blank 132 constitutes the bottom of the packaging.
