Definitions
- the invention relates to the technical sector of packaging allowing the storage of a plurality of articles or products intended for selective sampling unitary; the invention also relates to the distributor of objects or articles to unity.
- this shell can be thermoformed for example. Tearing and opening thus release the products inside the aforementioned packaging to ensure their manual removal. That therefore involves a manual user contact to enter one or more products packed.
- a first problem resides in the fact that it is not always easy to tear or cut the said packaging, entailing risks of user injury.
- Another problem is that the current conditions of making these types of packaging can limit their use or application to non-hazardous products for which manual handling and contact are not bothersome.
- Another object sought after according to the invention was to produce packaging simple and inexpensive manufacturing distributor, given the nature of the product packaged and their cost of sale. It was therefore necessary to look for a packaging whose the characteristics and arrangements are not excessive in cost compared to the cost of product sold.
- the distributor packaging is remarkable in that it is of the type comprising a shell of any shape and integral profile by any means to a flat support sheet, the assembly being made in all materials, and allowing the reception, storage of articles and products, characterized in that the hull is arranged with different successive volumes allowing respectively in a first volume the reception and storage of products to distribute, in a second volume the passage and the flow of the product to the unit to evacuate to another volume capable of receiving a selector device dispenser, the latter being arranged and positioned to allow withdrawal of a unitary product and its distribution and disposal of the packaging without contact manual.
- the distributor packaging is remarkable in that the selector device is arranged with a safety drawer allowing ejection in a particular position.
- the distributor packaging is referenced as a whole by (1). he can be made of all suitable materials such as cardboard, plastic or other.
- the dispenser packaging is arranged with a shell (2) of any shape and profile as for example shown in the drawings and showing internally different successive volumes communicating with each other, allowing respectively in a volume (V1) the reception and storage of the products to be distributed, in the volume (V2) the passage and flow of the product to the unit to be evacuated to a volume (V3) capable of receiving a distributor selector device, the latter allowing the distribution and the evacuation of the product without manual contact.
- Said shell is closed by a support sheet (3) flat, or equivalent conformed to dimensions of said shell, the assembly being fixed by any appropriate means by welding, bonding or other.
- the volume (V3) capable of receiving the selector device (4) is located for example in the lower part of the packaging, the three volumes (V1), (V2), (V3) communicating with each other.
- the volume (V3) is for example shaped in a rectangular configuration, forming housing for reception and sliding of the selector device.
- the latter is established in the form of a drawer having forms complementary to the reception volume (V3). Said drawer is likely to move and slide transversely relative to the packaging to allow the handling of one of the products from the volume of storage (V1) in order to then present it to an established opening area (O) at a particular location in the volume (V3).
- the latter thus includes a cutout (5) forming an oblong lumen allowing the positioning of a projecting finger (6) shaped at one or near one end of the drawer (4).
- This finger serves as guiding means in the aforementioned light.
- Opposite is established the opening (O) circular for example, allowing the exit and evacuation of the selected product (P).
- Said selector drawer is arranged in a corresponding dimension substantially half the reception volume (V3). It includes almost one of its ends an interior cutout (4a) open on its upper border longitudinal to come opposite and communication with the volume (V2) forming throttling of products (P) coming from the storage area. This cut is shaped semi-circular for example to receive the product.
- the drawer includes the finger (6) penetrating into the oblong opening (5) established at the volume base (V3).
- This finger is substantially in overflow outside for be able to be manipulated manually by an operator, who can move said drawer of a function for removing a product from the storage area, to a position for discharging said product when the interior cutout (4a) of the drawer is positioned superimposed on the discharge opening (O).
- the drawer is made of plastic for example or other material.
- the volume (V2) allowing the passage of a product constitutes in a way a constriction allowing to limit the passage to a single product.
- the figures in the drawings show a non-limiting form of embodiment in which the volume (V1) has a triangular shaped configuration funnel opening into the throat of the volume (V2) in order to the introduction of a product into the selector device (4).
- the packaging may have a cutout (7) for positioning a suspension pin.
- a plate (8) in the form of a self-adhesive label or the like is temporarily positioned on the side facing the packaging to seal the product discharge opening (O).
- the device selector can thus be arranged with at least one, two or three or more, cutouts allowing the taking of products and their distribution.
- the packaging distributor in order to offer additional security of use and in particular compared to children.
- the objective was to control the exit of the products in the form of tablets out of the packaging in incorporating additional safety means in the form of a drawer.
- the volume (V3) which receives the selector device in the form of a drawer is defined by a rectangular transverse configuration receiving the drawer (4) while being arranged near a lateral end to allow the sliding of a means complementary (9) constituting a safety drawer.
- the drawer (4) is established in a configuration rectangular housed in the volume (V3) of the shell (2) and has a notch (4b) with a guide profile (4c) sloping adjacent to the volume (V2) allowing the selective passage of products.
- the shell (2) is arranged on its face upper with an oblong configuration cutout (5) allowing passage of two protruding shapes (4d) and (4e) established on the selector drawer (4).
- the form (4d) located at the end is fixed, non-deformable and in fact constitutes a means of transverse thrust of the drawer.
- the other protruding shape (4th) is designed in a inclined configuration showing a stop zone (4f) facing the edge in look of the cutout (5).
- This protruding shape (4th) has the distinction of being retractable downwards in case of occasional support to pass under the internal face of the shell and thus allow the translation of the drawer (4).
- the distance (e1) established between the centers of the other projections (4e, 4f) corresponds to the stroke of the drawer (4).
- the volume (V3) is also arranged near its end located at opposite of the original location of the selector drawer with a vertical extension defining a volume (V4) of rectangular configuration allowing the positioning and sliding of the safety drawer (9).
- a vertical extension defining a volume (V4) of rectangular configuration allowing the positioning and sliding of the safety drawer (9).
- On the upper side said vertical extension is established a cutout (10) of oblong configuration defining the travel (e2) of the safety drawer.
- This drawer (9) is arranged with a flat leg (9a) of great length extending upward through the volume (V3) of the hull and overflowing from it.
- This tab (9a) presents at its lower base a heel shape (9b) of volumetric configuration parallelepiped moving in the space of the volume (V4).
- This heel is arranged with a projection (9c) constituting a thrust base and passing through said cutout (10).
- Said tab has an opening (9d) in its central upper part circular corresponding to the shape and section of the products to be distributed.
- this tab (9a) is secured to the edge (12) of the shell (2) located opposite using an elastic return means (11).
- This elastic means is established under the shape of a deformable tongue, one end (11a) of which is fixedly attached from the end (9f) of the tab and the other end (11b) of said border (12).
- the packaging is arranged on the support sheet (3) with a cutout (3a) located in the junction zone (14) of the volume (V3) and the passage of the safety drawer.
- the stroke (e3) corresponds to the passage of the product selected and positioned in the volume (V3) of the drawer (4) up to the location of the junction zone (14) which is superimposed on the cutout (3a) corresponding to the stroke (e1) previously defined.
- one of the products falls by gravity into the volume (V3) in the space provided for this purpose in the selector drawer (4).
- the drawer of safety (9) is in the non-solicitation phase due to the relaxation effect of the elastic means (11) and the heel is in the high position in the volume (V4).
- the selector drawer (4) is moved, after ensuring support on the projection (4th) in order to retract and pass it under the hull (2).
- the drawer (4) can therefore be moved laterally to allow the positioning of the selected product at the end of the volume (V3) and in the zone junction (14) with the passage of the safety drawer.
- the product is in phase maximum displacement of the drawer (4) according to the stroke (e1) above the cutout (3a) but resting on the upper face of the tab of the safety drawer.
- the sentence next is to push the safety drawer down and this, against elastic return means (11) which deforms in a V configuration as shown in Figure 11.
- the distributor packaging is particularly reliable and reassuring.

Abstract
Description
L'invention se rattache au secteur technique des emballages permettant le stockage d'une pluralité d'articles ou produits destinés à un prélèvement sélectif unitaire; l'invention se rattache également au distributeur d'objets ou articles à l'unité.The invention relates to the technical sector of packaging allowing the storage of a plurality of articles or products intended for selective sampling unitary; the invention also relates to the distributor of objects or articles to unity.
Il est bien connu de réaliser des emballages en carton ou en matière plastique ou autres comprenant une coque selon un volume quelconque pré-établi fixée et rapportée sur une feuille support plane réalisée en tous matériaux: papier, carton, plastique ou similaires, en étant fixée par soudure, collage. Ces emballages ainsi réalisés permettent le rangement d'une très grande diversité d'articles et produits de toute nature destinés au bricolage, à l'entretien ou autres, emballages que l'on retrouve dans tous types de magasins généralistes ou spécialisés. Souvent, ces emballages sont conçus sous forme d'emballages présentoirs pouvant être disposés sur des broches dans les linéaires de magasins.It is well known to produce cardboard or material packaging. plastic or other including a shell according to any pre-established volume fixed and attached to a flat support sheet made of all materials: paper, cardboard, plastic or the like, being fixed by welding, gluing. These packaging thus produced allow the storage of a very wide variety of articles and products of all kinds intended for DIY, maintenance or other, packaging that can be found in all types of general or specialized stores. Often, these packages are designed as display packages that can be arranged on pins in store shelves.
L'accès à l'intérieur de l'emballage nécessite un déchirement ou un découpage de la coque fixée sur la feuille, cette coque pouvant être thermoformée par exemple. Le déchirement et l'ouverture permettent ainsi de libérer les produits à l'intérieur de l'emballage précité pour assurer leur prélèvement manuel. Cela entraíne donc un contact manuel de l'utilisateur pour saisir un ou plusieurs produits emballés.Access to the interior of the packaging requires tearing or cutting of the shell attached to the sheet, this shell can be thermoformed for example. Tearing and opening thus release the products inside the aforementioned packaging to ensure their manual removal. That therefore involves a manual user contact to enter one or more products packed.
Un premier problème réside dans le fait qu'il n'est pas toujours aisé de déchirer ou découper ledit emballage, entraínant le cas échéant des risques de blessure de l'utilisateur.A first problem resides in the fact that it is not always easy to tear or cut the said packaging, entailing risks of user injury.
Un autre problème réside dans le fait que les conditions actuelles de réalisation de ces types d'emballages peuvent limiter leur utilisation ou application à des produits non dangereux pour lesquels les manipulations manuelles et contacts ne sont pas gênants. Another problem is that the current conditions of making these types of packaging can limit their use or application to non-hazardous products for which manual handling and contact are not bothersome.
La démarche du Demandeur a donc été de rechercher et concevoir un nouveau type d'emballage qui permette d'une part le stockage des différents produits mais également une distribution sélective de ceux-ci sans que l'opérateur ait un quelconque contact avec le produit en question.The Applicant's approach was therefore to research and design a new type of packaging which allows on the one hand the storage of different products but also a selective distribution of them without the operator have any contact with the product in question.
Un autre but recherché selon l'invention était de réaliser un emballage distributeur de fabrication simple et peu coûteuse, eu égard à la nature du produit emballé et leur coût de vente. Il y avait donc lieu de rechercher un emballage dont les caractéristiques et agencements ne soient pas excessifs en coût par rapport au coût du produit vendu.Another object sought after according to the invention was to produce packaging simple and inexpensive manufacturing distributor, given the nature of the product packaged and their cost of sale. It was therefore necessary to look for a packaging whose the characteristics and arrangements are not excessive in cost compared to the cost of product sold.
Selon une première caractéristique, l'emballage distributeur est remarquable en ce qu'il est du type comprenant une coque de toute forme et profil solidarisée par tous moyens à une feuille support plane, l'ensemble étant réalisé en tous matériaux, et permettant la réception, le stockage d'articles et produits, caractérisé en ce que la coque est agencée avec différents volumes successifs permettant respectivement dans un premier volume la réception et le stockage des produits à distribuer, dans un second volume le passage et l'écoulement du produit à l'unité à évacuer vers un autre volume susceptible de recevoir un dispositif sélecteur distributeur, ce dernier étant agencé et positionné pour permettre le prélèvement d'un produit unitaire et sa distribution et évacuation de l'emballage sans contact manuel.According to a first characteristic, the distributor packaging is remarkable in that it is of the type comprising a shell of any shape and integral profile by any means to a flat support sheet, the assembly being made in all materials, and allowing the reception, storage of articles and products, characterized in that the hull is arranged with different successive volumes allowing respectively in a first volume the reception and storage of products to distribute, in a second volume the passage and the flow of the product to the unit to evacuate to another volume capable of receiving a selector device dispenser, the latter being arranged and positioned to allow withdrawal of a unitary product and its distribution and disposal of the packaging without contact manual.
Selon une autre caractéristique , l'emballage distributeur est remarquable en ce que le dispositif sélecteur est agencé avec un tiroir de sécurité permettant l'éjection dans une position particulière.According to another characteristic, the distributor packaging is remarkable in that the selector device is arranged with a safety drawer allowing ejection in a particular position.
Ces caractéristiques et d'autres encore ressortiront bien de la suite de la description.These characteristics and others will become clear from the rest of the description.

Afin de rendre plus concret l'objet de l'invention, on le décrit maintenant d'une manière non limitative illustrée aux figures des dessins.In order to make the object of the invention more concrete, it is now described in a nonlimiting manner illustrated in the figures of the drawings.
L'emballage distributeur est référencé dans son ensemble par (1). Il peut être réalisé en tous matériaux appropriés tels que carton, matière plastique ou autres.The distributor packaging is referenced as a whole by (1). he can be made of all suitable materials such as cardboard, plastic or other.
L'emballage distributeur est agencé avec une coque (2) de toute forme et profil tel que par exemple représenté aux dessins et présentant intérieurement différents volumes successifs communiquant entre eux, permettant respectivement dans un volume (V1) la réception et le stockage des produits à distribuer, dans le volume (V2) le passage et l'écoulement du produit à l'unité à évacuer vers un volume (V3) susceptible de recevoir un dispositif sélecteur distributeur, ce dernier permettant la distribution et l'évacuation du produit sans contact manuel. Ladite coque est obturée par une feuille support (3) plane, ou équivalente conformée aux dimensions de la dite coque, l'ensemble étant fixé par tout moyen approprié par soudure, collage ou autres.The dispenser packaging is arranged with a shell (2) of any shape and profile as for example shown in the drawings and showing internally different successive volumes communicating with each other, allowing respectively in a volume (V1) the reception and storage of the products to be distributed, in the volume (V2) the passage and flow of the product to the unit to be evacuated to a volume (V3) capable of receiving a distributor selector device, the latter allowing the distribution and the evacuation of the product without manual contact. Said shell is closed by a support sheet (3) flat, or equivalent conformed to dimensions of said shell, the assembly being fixed by any appropriate means by welding, bonding or other.
Le volume (V3) susceptible de recevoir le dispositif sélecteur (4) se situe par exemple dans la partie inférieure de l'emballage, les trois volumes (V1), (V2), (V3) communiquant entre eux. Le volume (V3) est par exemple conformé dans une configuration rectangulaire en formant logement pour la réception et le coulissement du dispositif sélecteur. Ce dernier est établi sous forme d'un tiroir présentant des formes complémentaires au volume (V3) de réception. Ledit tiroir est susceptible de se déplacer et coulisser transversalement par rapport à l'emballage pour permettre la prise en charge d'un des produits issus du volume de stockage (V1) en vue de le présenter ensuite vers une zone d'ouverture (O) établie à un endroit particulier du volume (V3). Ce dernier comprend ainsi une découpe (5) formant lumière oblongue autorisant le positionnement d'un doigt (6) en saillie conformé à l'une ou près de l'une des extrémités du tiroir (4). Ce doigt sert de moyen de guidage dans la lumière précitée. A l'opposé est établie l'ouverture (O) circulaire par exemple, permettant la sortie et l'évacuation du produit sélectionné (P). Ledit tiroir sélecteur est agencé dans une dimension correspondant sensiblement à la moitié du volume (V3) de réception. Il comprend près de l'une de ses extrémités une découpe intérieure (4a) ouverte sur sa bordure supérieure longitudinale pour venir en regard et communication avec le volume (V2) formant étranglement de passage des produits (P) en provenance de la zone de stockage. Cette découpe est conformée semi-circulaire par exemple pour recevoir le produit. Le tiroir comprend le doigt (6) pénétrant dans l'ouverture oblongue (5) établie à la base du volume (V3). Ce doigt est sensiblement en débordement extérieur pour pouvoir être manipulé manuellement par un opérateur, ce dernier pouvant déplacer ledit tiroir d'une fonction de prélèvement d'un produit de la zone de stockage, jusqu'à une position d'évacuation dudit produit lorsque la découpe intérieure (4a) du tiroir est positionnée en superposition de l'ouverture (O) d'évacuation. Le tiroir est réalisé en matière plastique par exemple ou autre matériau. Le volume (V2) permettant le passage d'un produit constitue en quelque sorte un étranglement permettant de limiter le passage à un seul produit.The volume (V3) capable of receiving the selector device (4) is located for example in the lower part of the packaging, the three volumes (V1), (V2), (V3) communicating with each other. The volume (V3) is for example shaped in a rectangular configuration, forming housing for reception and sliding of the selector device. The latter is established in the form of a drawer having forms complementary to the reception volume (V3). Said drawer is likely to move and slide transversely relative to the packaging to allow the handling of one of the products from the volume of storage (V1) in order to then present it to an established opening area (O) at a particular location in the volume (V3). The latter thus includes a cutout (5) forming an oblong lumen allowing the positioning of a projecting finger (6) shaped at one or near one end of the drawer (4). This finger serves as guiding means in the aforementioned light. Opposite is established the opening (O) circular for example, allowing the exit and evacuation of the selected product (P). Said selector drawer is arranged in a corresponding dimension substantially half the reception volume (V3). It includes almost one of its ends an interior cutout (4a) open on its upper border longitudinal to come opposite and communication with the volume (V2) forming throttling of products (P) coming from the storage area. This cut is shaped semi-circular for example to receive the product. The drawer includes the finger (6) penetrating into the oblong opening (5) established at the volume base (V3). This finger is substantially in overflow outside for be able to be manipulated manually by an operator, who can move said drawer of a function for removing a product from the storage area, to a position for discharging said product when the interior cutout (4a) of the drawer is positioned superimposed on the discharge opening (O). The drawer is made of plastic for example or other material. The volume (V2) allowing the passage of a product constitutes in a way a constriction allowing to limit the passage to a single product.
On a représenté aux figures des dessins une forme non limitative de réalisation dans laquelle le volume (V1) a une configuration triangulaire en forme d'entonnoir débouchant dans l'étranglement du volume (V2) en vue de l'introduction d'un produit dans le dispositif sélecteur (4).The figures in the drawings show a non-limiting form of embodiment in which the volume (V1) has a triangular shaped configuration funnel opening into the throat of the volume (V2) in order to the introduction of a product into the selector device (4).
Accessoirement, dans sa partie haute, l'emballage peut présenter une découpe (7) pour le positionnement d'une broche de suspension.Incidentally, in its upper part, the packaging may have a cutout (7) for positioning a suspension pin.
Une plaquette (8) sous forme d'étiquette autocollante ou similaire est positionnée temporairement sur la face en regard de l'emballage pour obturer l'ouverture (O) d'évacuation du produit.A plate (8) in the form of a self-adhesive label or the like is temporarily positioned on the side facing the packaging to seal the product discharge opening (O).
Sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, il serait possible d'envisager et de réaliser à partir d'emballages de grandes dimensions, la distribution de produits à partir d'au moins une, deux ou trois zones de prélèvement du produit. Le dispositif sélecteur peut ainsi être agencé avec au moins une, deux ou trois ou plus, découpes permettant le prélèvement des produits puis leur distribution.Without departing from the scope of the invention, it would be possible to envisage and carry out from large packaging, the distribution of products to from at least one, two or three product sampling areas. The device selector can thus be arranged with at least one, two or three or more, cutouts allowing the taking of products and their distribution.
On a illustré aux figures 7 à 11 une variante de réalisation de l'emballage distributeur afin d'offrir une sécurité complémentaire d'utilisation et en particulier par rapport aux enfants. Dans cette mise en oeuvre, l'objectif était de contrôler la sortie des produits se présentant sous forme de pastilles hors de l'emballage en incorporant un moyen de sécurité complémentaire sous forme de tiroir. A cet effet, le volume (V3) qui reçoit le dispositif sélecteur sous forme de tiroir est défini par une configuration rectangulaire transversale recevant le tiroir (4) en étant aménagé près d'une extrémité latérale pour permettre le coulissement d'un moyen complémentaire (9) constituant un tiroir de sécurité.Illustrated in Figures 7 to 11 an alternative embodiment of the packaging distributor in order to offer additional security of use and in particular compared to children. In this implementation, the objective was to control the exit of the products in the form of tablets out of the packaging in incorporating additional safety means in the form of a drawer. To this end, the volume (V3) which receives the selector device in the form of a drawer is defined by a rectangular transverse configuration receiving the drawer (4) while being arranged near a lateral end to allow the sliding of a means complementary (9) constituting a safety drawer.
Plus particulièrement, le tiroir (4) est établi dans une configuration rectangulaire se logeant dans le volume (V3) de la coque (2) et présente une échancrure (4b) avec un profil de guidage (4c) penté adjacent avec le volume (V2) permettant le passage sélectif des produits. La coque (2) est agencée sur sa face supérieure avec une découpe (5) de configuration oblongue permettant le passage de deux formes en saillie (4d) et (4e) établies sur le tiroir sélecteur (4). La forme (4d) située en extrémité est fixe, non déformable et constitue en fait un moyen de poussée transversale du tiroir. L'autre forme (4e) en saillie est conçue dans une configuration inclinée faisant apparaítre une zone de butée (4f) face au chant en regard de la découpe (5). Cette forme en saillie (4e) a la particularité d'être escamotable vers le bas en cas d'appui ponctuel pour passer sous la face interne de la coque et permettre ainsi la translation du tiroir (4). L'entraxe (e1) établi entre les centres des autres saillies (4e, 4f) correspond à la course du tiroir (4).More particularly, the drawer (4) is established in a configuration rectangular housed in the volume (V3) of the shell (2) and has a notch (4b) with a guide profile (4c) sloping adjacent to the volume (V2) allowing the selective passage of products. The shell (2) is arranged on its face upper with an oblong configuration cutout (5) allowing passage of two protruding shapes (4d) and (4e) established on the selector drawer (4). The form (4d) located at the end is fixed, non-deformable and in fact constitutes a means of transverse thrust of the drawer. The other protruding shape (4th) is designed in a inclined configuration showing a stop zone (4f) facing the edge in look of the cutout (5). This protruding shape (4th) has the distinction of being retractable downwards in case of occasional support to pass under the internal face of the shell and thus allow the translation of the drawer (4). The distance (e1) established between the centers of the other projections (4e, 4f) corresponds to the stroke of the drawer (4).
Le volume (V3) est par ailleurs aménagé près de son extrémité située à l'opposé de l'emplacement initial du tiroir sélecteur avec un prolongement vertical définissant un volume (V4) de configuration rectangulaire permettant le positionnement et le coulissement du tiroir de sécurité (9). Sur la face supérieure dudit prolongement vertical est établie une découpe (10) de configuration oblongue définissant la course (e2) du tiroir de sécurité. Ce tiroir (9) est agencé avec une patte plate (9a) de grande longueur se prolongeant vers le haut en traversant le volume (V3) de la coque et débordant de celle-ci. Cette patte (9a) présente à sa base inférieure une forme en talon (9b) de configuration volumétrique parallélépipèdique se déplaçant dans l'espace du volume (V4). Ce talon est agencé avec une saillie (9c) constituant une base de poussée et traversant ladite découpe (10). Ladite patte présente dans sa partie supérieure centrale une ouverture (9d) circulaire correspondant à la forme et section des produits à distribuer. En outre, cette patte (9a) est solidarisée avec la bordure (12) de la coque (2) située en regard à l'aide d'un moyen élastique de rappel (11). Ce moyen élastique est établi sous la forme d'une languette déformable dont une extrémité (11a) est solidaire fixement de l'extrémité (9f) de la patte et l'autre extrémité (11b) de ladite bordure (12). En outre, l'emballage est agencé sur la feuille support (3) avec une découpe (3a) située dans la zone de jonction (14) du volume (V3) et du passage du tiroir de sécurité.The volume (V3) is also arranged near its end located at opposite of the original location of the selector drawer with a vertical extension defining a volume (V4) of rectangular configuration allowing the positioning and sliding of the safety drawer (9). On the upper side said vertical extension is established a cutout (10) of oblong configuration defining the travel (e2) of the safety drawer. This drawer (9) is arranged with a flat leg (9a) of great length extending upward through the volume (V3) of the hull and overflowing from it. This tab (9a) presents at its lower base a heel shape (9b) of volumetric configuration parallelepiped moving in the space of the volume (V4). This heel is arranged with a projection (9c) constituting a thrust base and passing through said cutout (10). Said tab has an opening (9d) in its central upper part circular corresponding to the shape and section of the products to be distributed. In addition, this tab (9a) is secured to the edge (12) of the shell (2) located opposite using an elastic return means (11). This elastic means is established under the shape of a deformable tongue, one end (11a) of which is fixedly attached from the end (9f) of the tab and the other end (11b) of said border (12). In in addition, the packaging is arranged on the support sheet (3) with a cutout (3a) located in the junction zone (14) of the volume (V3) and the passage of the safety drawer.
Il y a lieu également de préciser que la course (e3) correspond au passage du produit sélectionné et positionné dans le volume (V3) du tiroir (4) jusqu'à l'emplacement de la zone de jonction (14) qui se superpose à la découpe (3a) correspondant à la course (e1) précédemment définie.It should also be noted that the stroke (e3) corresponds to the passage of the product selected and positioned in the volume (V3) of the drawer (4) up to the location of the junction zone (14) which is superimposed on the cutout (3a) corresponding to the stroke (e1) previously defined.
Le fonctionnement est alors le suivant en se référant aux figures 7 à 11 des dessins.The operation is then as follows with reference to FIGS. 7 to 11 of drawings.
En phase initiale, un des produits tombe par gravité dans le volume (V3) dans l'emplacement prévu à cet effet dans le tiroir sélecteur (4). Le tiroir de sécurité (9) est en phase de non sollicitation par suite de l'effet de détente du moyen élastique (11) et le talon est en position haute dans le volume (V4).In the initial phase, one of the products falls by gravity into the volume (V3) in the space provided for this purpose in the selector drawer (4). The drawer of safety (9) is in the non-solicitation phase due to the relaxation effect of the elastic means (11) and the heel is in the high position in the volume (V4).
Pour assurer la distribution du produit, le tiroir sélecteur (4) est déplacé, après avoir assuré un appui sur la saillie (4e) afin de l'escamoter et la faire passer sous la coque (2). Le tiroir (4) peut donc être déplacé latéralement pour permettre le positionnement du produit sélectionné à l'extrémité du volume (V3) et à la zone de jonction (14) avec le passage du tiroir de sécurité. Le produit se trouve en phase de déplacement maximum du tiroir (4) selon la course (e1) au dessus de la découpe (3a) mais en appui sur la face supérieure de la patte du tiroir de sécurité. La phase suivante consiste alors à actionner le tiroir de sécurité vers le bas et ce, à l'encontre du moyen élastique de rappel (11) qui se déforme dans une configuration en V comme représenté figure 11. Le déplacement dudit tiroir de sécurité provoque le déplacement de la patte associée qui va présenter son ouverture (9d), par simple coulissement, en regard de l'ouverture (3a) établie sur la feuille support (3) libérant alors le produit. Celui-ci est alors évacué. Le relâchement et la suppression de l'action sur le tiroir de sécurité permet à ce dernier de reprendre sa position initiale par l'effet de détente élastique du moyen (11).To ensure product distribution, the selector drawer (4) is moved, after ensuring support on the projection (4th) in order to retract and pass it under the hull (2). The drawer (4) can therefore be moved laterally to allow the positioning of the selected product at the end of the volume (V3) and in the zone junction (14) with the passage of the safety drawer. The product is in phase maximum displacement of the drawer (4) according to the stroke (e1) above the cutout (3a) but resting on the upper face of the tab of the safety drawer. The sentence next is to push the safety drawer down and this, against elastic return means (11) which deforms in a V configuration as shown in Figure 11. The movement of said safety drawer causes the displacement of the associated tab which will present its opening (9d), by simple sliding, opposite the opening (3a) established on the support sheet (3) releasing then the product. It is then evacuated. The release and removal of action on the safety drawer allows it to return to its original position by the elastic expansion effect of the means (11).
Selon cette solution, l'emballage distributeur est particulièrement fiable et sécurisant.According to this solution, the distributor packaging is particularly reliable and reassuring.
