Abstract

The box consists of a base, side walls (1,4), and a top made from two flaps (10,11) which are folded one on top of the other after the box has been filled. The top flap is fastened to the front wall of the box. When the top flap (11) is opened it is torn along perforated lines. This forms a tongue (16) with a slot (17) in it which fits into a slot (23) between the box front and the other top flap (10) when the box is reclosed. The closure is completed by inserting a tab (18) at the top of the front wall into the top flap's slot.

Description

La présente invention concerne une nouvelle boîte en un matériau semi-rigide, tel que le carton ou le carton ondulé, utilisable notamment pour le conditionnement d'un matériau particulaire ou pulvérulent, par exemple du sel, du sucre, de la lessive etc...The present invention relates to a new box made of a semi-rigid material, such as cardboard or corrugated cardboard, usable in particular for the packaging of a particulate or pulverulent material, for example salt, sugar, detergent, etc. .

Pour une telle application, il a déjà été proposé de nombreux types de boîtes, généralement équipées d'une poignée de préhension. Lorsque le couvercle de ces boîtes fait corps avec celles-ci, il présente habituellement une ou des lignes d'amorces de rupture, ou encore une ou des bandes de déchirure, qui assurent à l'utilisateur la garantie d'inviolabilité de la boîte qu'il vient d'acheter et lui permettent d'ouvrir facilement celle-ci pour accéder à son contenu.For such an application, numerous types of boxes have already been proposed, generally equipped with a grip handle. When the lid of these boxes forms an integral part of them, it usually presents one or more lines of breaking points, or even one or more tear strips, which assure the user the guarantee of inviolability of the box that 'he just bought and allow him to easily open it to access its content.

Une fois ouvertes, de telles boîtes présentent toutefois l'inconvénient de ne pas pouvoir être refermées ou, si cette possibilité est offerte à l'utilisateur, de ne plus pouvoir alors être manipulées par leur poignée de préhension sans risque d'ouverture accidentelle de la boîte. On voit même parfois sur ces boîtes un avertissement mettant en garde l'utilisateur contre l'usage de la poignée après ouverture.Once opened, such boxes have the disadvantage of not being able to be closed or, if this possibility is offered to the user, of no longer being able to be manipulated by their grip handle without risk of accidental opening of the box. We sometimes even see a warning on these boxes warning the user against using the handle after opening.

La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant une boîte en carton de ce type, c'est-à-dire comportant une poignée de préhension et des lignes d'amorces de rupture ou des bandes de déchirure, qui assurent son inviolabilité avant ouverture et qui puisse être refermée par l'utilisateur, après avoir été ouverte, et être à nouveau transportée sans aucun risque à l'aide de sa poignée de préhension.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a cardboard box of this type, that is to say comprising a grip handle and lines of break initiators or tear strips, which ensure its inviolability before opening and which can be closed by the user, after being opened, and be transported again without any risk using its grip handle.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une boîte en un matériau semi-rigide, tel que le carton ou le carton ondulé, notamment pour le conditionnement d'un matériau particulaire ou pulvérulent, ce conditionnement comportant une partie de fond, des parois latérales perpendiculaires au fond et une partie supérieure comprenant au moins deux volets attenants respectivement à deux parois parallèles par des lignes de pliage parallèles entre elles et confondues avec le bord supérieur de ces parois, ces deux volets étant appliqués l'un contre l'autre et disposés transversalement aux parois attenantes en position de fermeture de la boîte, le volet supérieur formant couvercle débordant au-delà de la paroi opposée par une partie apte à être repliée et collée contre cette paroi opposée et comportant une ouverture à travers laquelle peut faire saillie une poignée découpée dans le volet inférieur ou attenante à celle-ci, le volet supérieur formant couvercle comportant en outre une ou des lignes d'amorces de rupture et/ou une ou des bandes de déchirure, garantissant l'inviolabilité de la boîte pleine et permettant l'ouverture de celle-ci, cette boîte étant caractérisée en ce que les lignes d'amorces de rupture ou les bandes de déchirure du volet formant couvercle s'étendent sur la partie apte à être repliée contre la partie opposée et y définissent une première languette non collée contre cette paroi opposée et apte à être séparée de la partie restante du volet collée contre la paroi par rupture desdites amorces de rupture ou arrachage des dites bandes de déchirure, une ouverture étant pratiquée dans cette première languette et/ou dans la portion contiguë du volet supérieur, tandis qu'une seconde languette est découpée dans le second volet et éventuellement dans la partie contiguë de la paroi attenante, en une position telle que cette seconde languette puisse être redressée et engagée dans l'ouverture de la première languette, lorsque l'utilisateur, après ouverture de la boîte, désire refermer celle-ci et verrouiller le couvercle extérieur en position fermée.To this end, the subject of the invention is a box made of a semi-rigid material, such as cardboard or corrugated cardboard, in particular for the packaging of a particulate or pulverulent material, this packaging comprising a bottom part, walls lateral perpendicular to the bottom and a upper part comprising at least two flaps adjoining respectively to two parallel walls by fold lines parallel to each other and coincident with the upper edge of these walls, these two flaps being applied one against the other and arranged transversely to the adjoining walls in closed position of the box, the upper flap forming a cover projecting beyond the opposite wall by a part capable of being folded and glued against this opposite wall and comprising an opening through which a handle cut out in the lower flap can project or adjoining it, the upper flap forming a cover further comprising one or more lines of incipient fractures and / or one or more tear strips, guaranteeing the inviolability of the full box and allowing the opening thereof. ci, this box being characterized in that the lines of initiation of rupture or the tear strips of the cover forming a cover rcle extend over the part able to be folded against the opposite part and define there a first tongue not glued against this opposite wall and able to be separated from the remaining part of the flap glued against the wall by rupture of said primers of rupture or tearing said tear strips, an opening being made in this first tab and / or in the contiguous portion of the upper flap, while a second tab is cut in the second flap and possibly in the contiguous part of the adjoining wall, in a position such that this second tab can be straightened and engaged in the opening of the first tab, when the user, after opening the box, wishes to close the latter and lock the outer cover in the closed position.

La boîte conforme à l'invention s'ouvre donc d'une manière tout-à-fait analogue à celles de la technique antérieure, elle présente comme celles-ci une garantie d'inviolabilité avant ouverture du couvercle et elle se prête comme elles, avant ouverture, à un transport aisé à l'aide d'une poignée faisant partie intégrante de la partie supérieure de la boîte. En revanche, elle offre la possibilité, après ouverture du couvercle, de pouvoir refermer ce couvercle et de le verrouiller en position fermée. Ceci constitue un avantage considérable par rapport aux emballages du même type de la technique antérieure, car, après verrouillage, il est possible de porter à nouveau la boîte à l'aide de sa poignée, sans risquer une ouverture accidentelle de la boîte.The box according to the invention therefore opens in a manner entirely analogous to those of the prior art, it presents, like these, a guarantee of inviolability before opening the cover and it lends itself like them, before opening, for easy transport to using a handle that is an integral part of the upper part of the box. However, it offers the possibility, after opening the cover, of being able to close this cover and lock it in the closed position. This constitutes a considerable advantage compared to packaging of the same type of the prior art, since, after locking, it is possible to carry the box again using its handle, without risking an accidental opening of the box.

Par ailleurs, la découpe du flan dont la boîte est issue permet sa mise en forme et son assemblage dans une chaîne entièrement automatique, par pliage, collage et pressage de surfaces entières et planes, ce qui constitue également un avantage important.Furthermore, the cutting of the blank from which the box comes allows its shaping and its assembly in a fully automatic chain, by folding, gluing and pressing of entire and flat surfaces, which also constitutes an important advantage.

Avantageusement, la découpe définie dans le second volet par la seconde languette se prolonge latéralement, au niveau de l'arête de la paroi attenante à cette seconde languette, par une ou des ouvertures suffisante pour pouvoir y engager la première languette en position de verrouillage de l'emballage refermé.Advantageously, the cut defined in the second flap by the second tab extends laterally, at the edge of the wall adjoining this second tab, by one or more openings sufficient to be able to engage the first tab in the locking position of the packaging closed.

De façon usuelle, la boîte conforme à l'invention pourra être réalisée à partir d'un unique flan de carton, de carton ondulé ou similaire, convenablement découpé et refoulé (pré-plié), la poignée pouvant être découpée dans ce flan ou rapportée sur celui-ci.Usually, the box according to the invention may be produced from a single blank of cardboard, corrugated cardboard or the like, suitably cut and pushed back (pre-folded), the handle being able to be cut from this blank or attached on this one.

Les dessins annexés, qui n'ont aucun caractère limitatif, illustrent une forme de mise en oeuvre de l'invention. Sur ces dessins :

  • La figure 1 est une vue en plan du flan de carton ondulé dont est issue cette forme de réalisation de la boîte conforme à l'invention ;
  • La figure 2 est une vue en perspective de la boîte montée et fermée, telle qu'elle est exposée en vente avec son contenu ;
  • La figure 3 est une vue en perspective partielle de la partie supérieure de la boîte après ouverture de celle-ci ;
  • La figure 4 est une vue en perspective partielle de la partie supérieure de la boîte, illustrant la possibilité de refermer celle-ci et de la verrouiller en position refermée.
The accompanying drawings, which have no limiting character, illustrate a form of implementation of the invention. In these drawings:
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of the corrugated cardboard blank from which this embodiment of the box according to the invention is derived;
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of the assembled and closed box, as it is displayed for sale with its contents;
  • Figure 3 is a partial perspective view of the upper part of the box after opening thereof;
  • Figure 4 is a partial perspective view of the upper part of the box, illustrating the possibility of closing it and locking it in the closed position.

Dans cette forme de réalisation, la boîte a la forme générale d'un parallélépipède rectangle, et elle comporte deux parois longitudinales parallèles 1 et 2 et deux parois transversales 3 et 4, perpendiculaires aux précédentes et articulées sur celles-ci par une ligne de pliage verticale, une bande 5 attenante par l'une de ces lignes de pliage à la paroi 1 étant contrecollée contre la face interne de la paroi 3 contiguë. Quatre volets 6-9, attenants respectivement par des lignes de pliage horizontales à la base des parois 1-4, sont repliés perpendiculairement à ces parois et assemblés entre eux par collage ou agrafage, ou par tout autre moyen connu dans la technique, pour former le fond de l'emballage.In this embodiment, the box has the general shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and it has two parallel longitudinal walls 1 and 2 and two transverse walls 3 and 4, perpendicular to the previous ones and articulated on these by a fold line. vertical, a strip 5 adjoining by one of these fold lines to the wall 1 being laminated against the internal face of the adjoining wall 3. Four flaps 6-9, adjoining respectively by horizontal fold lines at the base of the walls 1-4, are folded perpendicular to these walls and joined together by gluing or stapling, or by any other means known in the art, to form the bottom of the package.

De façon analogue, quatre volets 10-13 sont articulés par des lignes de pliage horizontales à la partie supérieure des parois 1-4, les volets 12 et 13, de plus petites dimensions, étant repliés en direction l'un de l'autre perpendiculairement aux parois 3 et 4, tandis que les volets 10 et 11, de plus grandes dimensions, sont repliés au-dessus des volets 12 et 13, perpendiculairement aux parois 1 et 2, le volet 11 étant disposé à l'extérieur et formant couvercle.Similarly, four flaps 10-13 are articulated by horizontal fold lines at the top of the walls 1-4, the flaps 12 and 13, of smaller dimensions, being folded in the direction of each other perpendicularly to walls 3 and 4, while the flaps 10 and 11, of larger dimensions, are folded over the flaps 12 and 13, perpendicular to the walls 1 and 2, the flap 11 being disposed outside and forming a cover.

Une bande 14, attenante au volet 11 par une ligne de pliage perpendiculaire aux parois 3 et 4, est repliée contre la paroi 1 et ses extrémités sont collées contre cette paroi.A strip 14, adjoining the flap 11 by a fold line perpendicular to the walls 3 and 4, is folded against the wall 1 and its ends are glued against this wall.

Dans le volet 11 sont ménagées deux lignes 15 d'amorces de rupture qui s'étendent depuis les bords latéraux du volet jusqu'au bord libre de la bande 14, en définissant dans celle-ci une languette centrale 16, qui n'est pas collée sur la paroi 1.In the flap 11 are formed two lines 15 of incipient fractures which extend from the lateral edges of the flap to the free edge of the strip 14, defining in the latter a central tongue 16, which is not stuck on the wall 1.

Une ouverture 17 est pratiquée dans la languette 14 et dans une partie contiguë du volet 11. En position correspondante, dans le volet 10 et dans la partie contiguë de la paroi 1, est découpée une languette 18, qui, comme on le verra ci-après, peut être engagée dans l'ouverture 17, lorsque la boîte a été ouverte par rupture des lignes 15, puis refermée en ramenant le volet à sa position initiale, pour verrouiller celle-ci en position de fermeture.An opening 17 is made in the tongue 14 and in an adjoining part of the flap 11. In the corresponding position, in the flap 10 and in the adjoining part of the wall 1, a tongue 18 is cut out, which, as will see below, can be engaged in the opening 17, when the box has been opened by breaking the lines 15, then closed by returning the flap to its initial position, to lock the latter in the closed position.

On notera que la découpe 22 de profil complémentaire de la partie de la languette 18 découpée par celle-ci dans le volet 10 se prolonge latéralement de chaque côté, par une fente 23, d'une longueur suffisante pour pouvoir engager la première languette 16, dans l'ouverture définie par la découpe 22 et les fentes 23. La découpe 22 et la partie correspondante de la languette 18, dans la boîte non ouverte, peuvent ne pas être séparées par une coupe franche, mais par une simple ligne d'amorces de rupture, que peut rompre aisément l'utilisateur. Une telle disposition facilite le pliage du flan, en rendant la paroi 1 et le volet 10 solidaires l'un de l'autre par l'intermédiaire de la languette 18.It will be noted that the cutout 22 of complementary profile of the part of the tongue 18 cut by the latter in the shutter 10 is extended laterally on each side, by a slot 23, of a sufficient length to be able to engage the first tongue 16, in the opening defined by the cutout 22 and the slots 23. The cutout 22 and the corresponding part of the tongue 18, in the unopened box, may not be separated by a straight cut, but by a simple line of primers that the user can easily break. Such an arrangement facilitates the folding of the blank, making the wall 1 and the flap 10 integral with one another by means of the tongue 18.

Dans la partie centrale du volet 11 est ménagée, de façon connue en soi, une ouverture 19, dans laquelle peut venir s'engager une bande 20 formant poignée, issue du volet 10 ou rapportée sur celui-ci et rendue solidaire de ce volet.In the central part of the flap 11 is formed, in a manner known per se, an opening 19, in which a band 20 forming a handle can come, coming from the flap 10 or attached to it and made integral with this flap.

Cette poignée 20 permet de transporter manuellement la boîte conforme à l'invention, avant qu'elle ait été ouverte (voir figure 2). Après ouverture, par déchirure des lignes d'amorce de rupture 15, il suffit de soulever les volets 10 et 11, puis les volets 12 et 13, pour accéder au contenu de la boîte (voir figure 3).This handle 20 makes it possible to manually transport the box according to the invention, before it has been opened (see FIG. 2). After opening, by tearing the lines of initiation of rupture 15, it suffices to lift the flaps 10 and 11, then the flaps 12 and 13, to access the contents of the box (see FIG. 3).

Si l'on désire refermer cette boîte, il suffit ensuite de ramener les volets 10-13 dans leur position initiale, d'engager la languette 16 dans l'ouverture formée par les découpes 22 et 23 et d'engager enfin la languette 18 dans l'ouverture 17, pour verrouiller l'emballage en position fermée (voir figure 4). Une entaille latérale, respectivement 12' et 13', peut être ménagée dans les volets 12 et 13 pour permettre le passage de la languette 18 dans l'ouverture 17.If one wishes to close this box, it then suffices to return the flaps 10-13 to their initial position, to engage the tongue 16 in the opening formed by the cutouts 22 and 23 and finally to engage the tongue 18 in opening 17, to lock the packaging in the closed position (see Figure 4). A lateral cut, respectively 12 ′ and 13 ′, can be made in the flaps 12 and 13 to allow the passage of the tongue 18 into the opening 17.
