Description
CENDRIER ASSOCIABLE A UN PAQUET DE CIGARETTES ASHTRAY ASSOCIATED WITH A PACK OF CIGARETTES
La présente invention a pour objet un cendrier associable à un paquet de cigarettes, mais également utilisable de façon autonome.The present invention relates to an ashtray associable with a pack of cigarettes, but also usable independently.
Ce cendrier permet l'extinction quasi instantanée des mégots, sans écrasement, par simple étouffement. Il est réalisé et réalisable dans tout type de matériau ininflammable, ignifugé, incombustible, aussi bien flexible que rigide tel que l'aluminium ou papier doublé d'aluminium, de toute matière et matériau de quelque nature qu'il soit, naturelle, artificielle, synthétique, chimique, se rapportant directement ou indirectement à la fabrication dudit cendrier ou susceptible d'en faciliter l'extension, son développement, et tout particulièrement son recyclage du fait qu'il est jetable.This ashtray allows the almost instant extinction of cigarette butts, without crushing, by simple suffocation. It is produced and achievable in any type of non-flammable, flame-retardant, non-combustible material, both flexible and rigid, such as aluminum or aluminum-lined paper, of any material and material of whatever nature, natural, artificial, synthetic, chemical, directly or indirectly relating to the manufacture of said ashtray or capable of facilitating its extension, its development, and very particularly its recycling because it is disposable.
Ce cendrier selon l'invention se présente tout d'abord sous la forme d'un étui dont le fond constitue une chambre servant d'entrepôt pour les cendres et/ou mégots ou autres, laquelle chambre présente un volume variable et elle est délimitée par la partie inférieure de l'enveloppe formant ledit étui et par le fond du paquet de cigarettes disposé dans ce dernier, laquelle chambre est accessible après déplacement dudit paquet de cigarettes, pour accueillir les dépôts de cendres et/ou mégots ou autres, par l'intermédiaire d'une fenêtre aménagée sur l'une des faces dudit étui, laquelle fenêtre est positionnée à une distance du fond de l'étui, délimitant aussi la capacité d'accueil de ladite chambre de telle sorte qu'elle permette d'y loger un volume suffisant de cendres, mégots ou autres.This ashtray according to the invention is first of all in the form of a case, the bottom of which constitutes a chamber serving as a warehouse for ashes and / or butts or the like, which chamber has a variable volume and is delimited by the lower part of the envelope forming said case and through the bottom of the packet of cigarettes arranged in the latter, which chamber is accessible after displacement of said packet of cigarettes, to accommodate the deposits of ash and / or butts or the like, by the through a window fitted on one of the faces of said case, which window is positioned at a distance from the bottom of the case, also delimiting the reception capacity of said room so that it allows accommodation there a sufficient volume of ashes, butts or other.
L'intérêt d'un tel cendrier en forme d'étui réside dans le fait qu'il n'augmente pas le volume du paquet de cigarettes par rapport à des solutions comme celle décrite dans le document FR-2 811 519. Le volume n'est modifié que très légèrement lorsqu'il est plein et cette modification concerne la hauteur. Toujours selon l'invention, ce cendrier présente aussi la particularité d'être utilisable de façon autonome et il comporte, disposé au niveau de son entrée, un clapet qui est articulé sur l'arête supérieure de la face de l'étui qui par exemple est opposée à celle comportant la fenêtre d'introduction des cendres, mégots ou autres, lequel clapet s'escamote automatiquement lors de la mise en place du paquet de cigarettes dans ledit étui, et il est muni de moyens qui lui permettent de reprendre automatiquement et élastiquement sa position de fermeture de ladite entrée lors de la séparation du paquet par rapport audit étui, de façon à donner au cendrier son caractère autonome.
De même, ledit cendrier et/ou étui peut-être utilisé indépendamment du paquet de cigarettes, avec les mêmes propriétés hermétiques que celles envisagées pour l'utilisation du cendrier et/ou étui, associé au paquet de cigarettes, ce qui permet l'extinction rapide des mégots incandescents dans les deux cas et ce qui permet également de collecter automatiquement les mégots, cendres et autres résidus de cigarettes, sans risques de propagation d'éléments ignés, de ladite chambre du cendrier et ou étui vers l'extérieur.The interest of such a case-shaped ashtray lies in the fact that it does not increase the volume of the pack of cigarettes compared to solutions like that described in document FR-2 811 519. The volume n 'is modified only very slightly when full and this modification concerns the height. Still according to the invention, this ashtray also has the particularity of being usable autonomously and it comprises, arranged at its entrance, a valve which is articulated on the upper edge of the face of the case which for example is opposite to that comprising the window for introducing ashes, butts or the like, which flap retracts automatically when the cigarette pack is placed in said case, and it is provided with means which allow it to resume automatically and elastically its closed position of said inlet when the package is separated from said case, so as to give the ashtray its autonomous character. Likewise, said ashtray and / or case can be used independently of the pack of cigarettes, with the same hermetic properties as those envisaged for the use of the ashtray and / or case, associated with the pack of cigarettes, which allows the extinction rapid glowing butts in both cases and which also allows automatic collection of butts, ashes and other cigarette residues, without risk of propagation of igneous elements, from said ashtray chamber and or case to the outside.

Le tiroir 25 s'étend sous la face avant 3 de l'étui 2 et il est escamotable au moyen d'un passe-doigts 6 aménagé à la partie inférieure de cette face avant, lequel passe-doigts donne accès au dit tiroir pour le faire passer de sa position active d'obturation de la fenêtre 4 comme représenté figure 2 à une position inactive détaillée plus loin figure 15.Figures 2 and 3 each show an alternative embodiment also generally using a shutter 5. This shutter 5 is in fact in the form of a sliding drawer 25 and 35 respectively. The drawer 25 extends under the front face 3 of the case 2 and it is retractable by means of a finger pass 6 arranged at the bottom of this front face, which finger pass gives access to said drawer for the change from its active shutter position of window 4 as shown in FIG. 2 to an inactive position detailed below in FIG. 15.
L'étui 2 représenté figure 3 comporte lui aussi un volet d'obturation 5 en forme de tiroir coulissant, et ce tiroir coulissant 35 s'étend aussi sous la face avant 3.The case 2 shown in FIG. 3 also includes a shutter 5 in the form of a sliding drawer, and this sliding drawer 35 also extends under the front face 3.
Ce tiroir 35 est manipulable au moyen d'un passe-doigts 6, aménagé à l'extrémité supérieure de la face avant 3 pour passer d'une position active d'obturation de la fenêtre 4 comme représenté figure 3, à une position inactive donnant l'accès au volume interne de l'étui 2 lorsque le paquet de cigarettes 1 a été extrait partiellement dudit étui, libérant l'accès à ladite fenêtre comme représenté figure 18. La figure 4 montre l'étui 2 en coupe dans lequel est disposé un paquet de cigarettes 1. Ce paquet de cigarettes 1 maintient le volet d'obturation 5 dans sa position active d'obturation de la fenêtre 4.This drawer 35 can be manipulated by means of a finger pass 6, arranged at the upper end of the front face 3 to pass from an active position for closing the window 4 as shown in FIG. 3, to an inactive position giving access to the internal volume of the case 2 when the pack of cigarettes 1 has been partially extracted from said case, freeing access to said window as shown in FIG. 18. FIG. 4 shows the case 2 in section in which is placed a pack of cigarettes 1. This pack of cigarettes 1 maintains the shutter 5 in its active shutter position of the window 4.
Pour permettre l'utilisation de l'étui 2 comme cendrier, le paquet de cigarettes 2, tel que représenté figure 5, est extrait partiellement de l'étui 2, libérant le volet d'obturation 5 et offrant à l'utilisateur la possibilité de loger cendres, mégots 7 ou autres, dans l'étui lui-même, en particulier dans la chambre 8 de l'étui qui est délimitée par le fond 9, la face arrière 10 et les côtés 11 dudit étui et le fond 12 du paquet de cigarettes 1.To allow the case 2 to be used as an ashtray, the pack of cigarettes 2, as shown in FIG. 5, is partially extracted from the case 2, releasing the shutter 5 and offering the user the possibility of house ashes, butts 7 or others, in the case itself, in particular in the chamber 8 of the case which is delimited by the bottom 9, the rear face 10 and the sides 11 of said case and the bottom 12 of the package cigarettes 1.
Les cendres, mégots 7 ou autres sont introduits par la fenêtre 4 et tombent dans l'étui 2 et en particulier sur sa face arrière ou dorsale 10.The ashes, butts 7 or other are introduced through the window 4 and fall into the case 2 and in particular on its rear or dorsal face 10.
Dès l'introduction d'un mégot 7 dans la chambre 8 de l'étui, l'utilisateur peut repousser le paquet 1 dans ledit étui, refermant automatiquement le volet d'obturation 5 de façon à stopper immédiatement toute combustion du mégot ou des mégots 7 dans ladite chambre, par étouffement. Le paquet 1 et son étui-cendrier 2 peuvent être conservés tels quels jusqu'à une nouvelle utilisation.As soon as a cigarette butt 7 is introduced into the chamber 8 of the case, the user can push the package 1 into said case, automatically closing the shutter 5 so as to immediately stop any combustion of the cigarette butt or butts 7 in said chamber, by suffocation. The package 1 and its ashtray case 2 can be kept as is until a new use.
La chambre 8 de l'étui, comme représenté figure 6, présente ainsi un volume variable, faisant office d'entrepôt pour les déchets de cigarettes ou autres.
La figure 7 montre que l'étui 2 peut aussi être utilisé comme cendrier autonome, après extraction complète du paquet 1 , ou indépendamment de toute présence d'un paquet.The chamber 8 of the case, as shown in Figure 6, thus has a variable volume, acting as a warehouse for cigarette or other waste. FIG. 7 shows that the case 2 can also be used as an autonomous ashtray, after complete extraction of the package 1, or independently of any presence of a package.
On retrouve sur cet étui représenté figure 7, la fenêtre 4 aménagée sur la face avant 3, le volet d'obturation 5 qui, comme détaillé plus loin, est articulé au niveau de l'arête 14 supérieure de la fenêtre 4, et en particulier l'arête située du côté de l'entrée 16 de l'étui.Found in this case shown in Figure 7, the window 4 on the front face 3, the shutter 5 which, as detailed below, is articulated at the edge 14 of the upper window 4, and in particular the edge located on the side of entry 16 of the case.
Le volet 5 est également représenté en pointillés en position ouverte dans l'étui. On remarque que ce volet 5 comporte une partie interne 15 dont la surface supérieure à celle de l'orifice constituant la fenêtre 4. Cette partie interne 15 constitutive du volet 5, est complétée comme détaillé plus loin, par une surépaisseur en forme de bouchon qui obture véritablement l'orifice de la fenêtre 4.The flap 5 is also shown in dotted lines in the open position in the case. Note that this flap 5 has an internal part 15 whose surface greater than that of the orifice constituting the window 4. This internal part 15 constituting the flap 5, is supplemented as detailed below, by an extra thickness in the form of a plug which truly closes the window opening 4.
L'entrée 16 de l'étui, lorsque ce dernier forme un cendrier autonome, est obturé au moyen d'un clapet 17. Ce clapet de fermeture 17 est articulé au niveau de l'arête 19 formant l'entrée de l'étui 2, c'est-à-dire au niveau de l'arête qui constitue la partie supérieure de la face arrière 12 dudit étui.The inlet 16 of the case, when the latter forms an autonomous ashtray, is closed by means of a valve 17. This closing valve 17 is articulated at the edge 19 forming the entrance to the case 2 , that is to say at the edge which constitutes the upper part of the rear face 12 of said case.
Le clapet 17 comporte, latéralement, des languettes latérales 21 qui glissent sur les surfaces latérales internes des côtés 11 de l'étui 2. Ces languettes latérales font office de joint d'étanchéité entre le clapet 17 et les côtés latéraux 11 de l'étui.The valve 17 comprises, laterally, lateral tabs 21 which slide on the internal lateral surfaces of the sides 11 of the case 2. These lateral tabs act as a seal between the valve 17 and the lateral sides 11 of the case .
Ces languettes 21 sont par exemple en forme de triangle avec une arête supérieure 23 qui peut être en contact avec la surface interne de la face supérieure 3 lorsque le clapet 17 est en position active de fermeture et une arête 24 qui peut se confondre avec l'arête 25 des côtés latéraux 11 de l'étui.These tongues 21 are for example in the shape of a triangle with an upper edge 23 which can be in contact with the internal surface of the upper face 3 when the valve 17 is in the active closed position and an edge 24 which can merge with the edge 25 of the lateral sides 11 of the case.
Les côtés latéraux 11 comportent, au niveau de leur arête 25, des rabats 26 en forme de triangle également.The lateral sides 11 have, at their edge 25, flaps 26 also in the shape of a triangle.
Ces rabats 26 recouvrent les languettes 21 et surtout facilitent le guidage du paquet de cigarettes 1 lors de son introduction dans l'étui 2. Ces rabats 26 ont également une forme de triangle épousant l'espace laissé pare le clapet 17, comme représenté figure 7.These flaps 26 cover the tongues 21 and above all facilitate the guiding of the packet of cigarettes 1 during its introduction into the case 2. These flaps 26 also have a triangle shape matching the space left by the valve 17, as shown in FIG. 7 .
La figure 8 montre aussi l'étui 2 constituant un cendrier autonome, représenté en coupe. On remarque que le volet d'obturation 5 est en position
inactive, c'est-à-dire ouvert. La fenêtre 4 aménagée dans la face avant 3 permet d'introduire les cendres, mégots ou autres.Figure 8 also shows the case 2 constituting an autonomous ashtray, shown in section. Note that the shutter 5 is in position inactive, i.e. open. The window 4 arranged in the front face 3 makes it possible to introduce the ashes, butts or the like.
Le volet d'obturation 5 est maintenu en position ouverte, coincé au moyen du clapet 17 qui sert normalement à fermer l'entrée 16 de l'étui. La figure 9 montre l'étui 2 faisant office de cendrier, contenant quelques mégots 7.The shutter 5 is held in the open position, wedged by means of the valve 17 which normally serves to close the inlet 16 of the case. FIG. 9 shows the case 2 acting as an ashtray, containing a few butts 7.
Le volet d'obturation 5 est représenté en position active de fermeture de la fenêtre 4. Ce volet 5 est sollicité élastiquement vers sa position active de fermeture au moyen du clapet 17 qui, lui-même est façonné de telle façon qu'il a une tendance naturelle à revenir élastiquement en position active de fermeture de l'entrée 16 de l'étui.The shutter 5 is shown in the active closing position of the window 4. This shutter 5 is resiliently biased towards its active closing position by means of the valve 17 which itself is shaped in such a way that it has a natural tendency to return elastically to the active closed position of the inlet 16 of the case.
Ce clapet 17 peut également être sollicité en permanence par un moyen complémentaire comme par exemple un ressort spirale 30 comme représenté figure 9. Ce ressort spirale 30 est interposé entre le clapet 17 et la face arrière 10 de l'étui.This valve 17 can also be permanently stressed by a complementary means such as for example a spiral spring 30 as shown in FIG. 9. This spiral spring 30 is interposed between the valve 17 and the rear face 10 of the case.
La figure 10 représente un flan réalisé par exemple en matériau du genre carton ignifugé pour la confection de l'étui 2 tel que représenté figure 1 et figures 4 à 9.FIG. 10 represents a blank made for example of material of the fireproof cardboard type for making the case 2 as shown in FIG. 1 and FIGS. 4 to 9.
On retrouve sur ce flan, une partie constituant la face avant 3, le fond 9 qui est interposé entre cette face avant et la partie formant la face arrière 10.We find on this blank, a part constituting the front face 3, the bottom 9 which is interposed between this front face and the part forming the rear face 10.
Dans le prolongement de la face arrière 10, à l'opposé du fond 9, on trouve le clapet 17 muni, latéralement, de ses languettes 21.In the extension of the rear face 10, opposite the bottom 9, there is the valve 17 provided, laterally, with its tongues 21.
Le clapet 17 est lié à la face arrière 10 par l'arête 19 qui forme articulation. On remarque, partant des extrémités de cette arête 19 et s'étendant dans la partie arrière 10, deux petites entailles 31 qui accentuent l'effet ressort de ladite articulation 19, pour le clapet 17.The valve 17 is linked to the rear face 10 by the edge 19 which forms a joint. Note, starting from the ends of this edge 19 and extending in the rear part 10, two small notches 31 which accentuate the spring effect of said articulation 19, for the valve 17.
Toujours figure 10, on retrouve les rabats 26 aménagés sur les côtés latéraux de l'étui en particulier sur les parties 32 formant l'extérieur desdits côtés.Still in FIG. 10, we find the flaps 26 arranged on the lateral sides of the case, in particular on the parts 32 forming the outside of said sides.
La face avant 3 comporte la fenêtre 4, laquelle fenêtre peut être partiellement découpée comme représenté figure 10, conservant une portion 33 utilisable pour confectionner le volet d'obturation 5. Cette portion 33 découpée dans la face avant 3 est maintenue par une ligne de pliage 4, formant en quelque sorte le bouchon obturateur de la fenêtre 4.
La face avant 3 se prolonge, à l'opposé du fond 9, par une portion 36 constituée de deux portions : une portion 37 liée directement à la face avant 3 par une arête 40, et une portion 15 dans le prolongement, liée à ladite portion 37 par une articulation 44 qui forme comme indiqué auparavant, l'articulation 14 du volet 5 sur la face avant 3.The front face 3 comprises the window 4, which window can be partially cut out as shown in FIG. 10, retaining a portion 33 which can be used to make the shutter 5. This portion 33 cut out in the front face 3 is held by a fold line 4, forming in a way the shutter plug of the window 4. The front face 3 is extended, opposite the bottom 9, by a portion 36 consisting of two portions: a portion 37 connected directly to the front face 3 by an edge 40, and a portion 15 in the extension, linked to said portion 37 by a joint 44 which, as indicated above, forms the joint 14 of the flap 5 on the front face 3.
Toujours figure 10, on remarque, de part et d'autre de la face avant 3, des parties latérales 45 destinées à former les côtés latéraux internes de l'étui.Still in FIG. 10, we note, on either side of the front face 3, lateral parts 45 intended to form the internal lateral sides of the case.
Ces parties latérales sont munies à leur extrémité, de rabats 46 positionnés de façon à se replier sur le fond 9. Ces parties latérales internes 45 comportent des découpes 47 qui sont situées au niveau du rebord supérieur 14 de la fenêtre 4. Ces découpes 47 forment des butées qui permettent comme représenté figure 24, d'éviter l'extraction totale du paquet de cigarettes 1. En effet, ces butées 47 coopèrent avec le fond du paquet de cigarettes 1, évitant une extraction intempestive du paquet par rapport à l'étui 2.These side parts are provided at their end with flaps 46 positioned so as to fold over the bottom 9. These internal side parts 45 have cutouts 47 which are located at the upper edge 14 of the window 4. These cutouts 47 form stops which allow, as shown in FIG. 24, to avoid the total extraction of the packet of cigarettes 1. In fact, these stops 47 cooperate with the bottom of the packet of cigarettes 1, avoiding untimely extraction of the packet from the case 2.
Ces découpes en forme de butées 47 sont liées aux côtés latéraux internes 45 par une ligne de pliage 48 qui tend à les maintenir élastiquement en position active de retenue du paquet de cigarettes 1.These cutouts in the form of stops 47 are linked to the internal lateral sides 45 by a fold line 48 which tends to keep them elastically in the active position for retaining the pack of cigarettes 1.
Le flan est découpé dans un matériau ininflammable. Les surfaces externes peuvent comporter des inscriptions publicitaires ou autres. Les surfaces internes peuvent être recouvertes en totalité ou en partie d'un matériau incombustible et/ou isolant.The blank is cut from a non-flammable material. External surfaces may include advertising or other inscriptions. The internal surfaces can be covered in whole or in part with a non-combustible and / or insulating material.
Le montage de l'étui est représenté figures 11 à 14. Ce montage s'effectue tout d'abord par un pliage de la partie 37 autour de son arête 40 et collage de cette partie 37 sur la surface interne de la face avant 3. La portion 15 située dans le prolongement de la partie 37, est collée sur la partie 33 de façon à former le volet d'obturation 5.The mounting of the case is shown in FIGS. 11 to 14. This mounting is carried out firstly by folding the part 37 around its edge 40 and bonding this part 37 to the internal surface of the front face 3. The portion 15 located in the extension of the part 37 is glued to the part 33 so as to form the shutter 5.
La partie 33 peut également être totalement découpée, formant bouchon, et être collée sur la portion 15, ou être remplacée par tout autre type de bouchon, collé sur ladite portion 15.The part 33 can also be completely cut out, forming a plug, and be glued to the portion 15, or be replaced by any other type of plug, glued to the said portion 15.
L'articulation 14 du volet 5 par rapport à la face avant 3 est constituée soit par la ligne de liaison 44 entre les parties 37 et 15, soit par la combinaison de cette ligne 44 et de la ligne 34 de liaison entre la partie 33 et la face avant 3.
Ce premier aménagement est représenté figure 11 , avec la partie 33 collée sur la portion 15 de façon à former le volet 5 qui permet de réaliser l'obturation de la fenêtre 4.The articulation 14 of the flap 5 relative to the front face 3 is constituted either by the connecting line 44 between the parts 37 and 15, or by the combination of this line 44 and the connecting line 34 between the part 33 and the front panel 3. This first arrangement is shown in FIG. 11, with the part 33 glued to the portion 15 so as to form the flap 5 which makes it possible to close the window 4.
Les figures 12 et 13 montrent la mise en place du clapet 17 entre les parois 1 et de ses languettes 21 repliées entre lesdites parois latérales. Elles montrent également le pliage des rabats 26 à l'intérieur de l'étui.Figures 12 and 13 show the establishment of the valve 17 between the walls 1 and its tongues 21 folded between said side walls. They also show the folding of the flaps 26 inside the case.
Toujours sur ces figures 12 et 13, on remarque que le volet d'obturation 5 se positionne entre les côtés latéraux internes 45. La surface de ce volet d'obturation 5 et en particulier de sa portion 15 est supérieure à la surface de l'orifice constituant la fenêtre 4.Still on these figures 12 and 13, it can be seen that the shutter 5 is positioned between the internal lateral sides 45. The surface of this shutter 5 and in particular of its portion 15 is greater than the surface of the window opening 4.
Les rabats 46, situés dans le prolongement des côtés internes 45, sont repliés pour se positionner sur le fond 9 comme représenté figures 12 et 13.The flaps 46, located in the extension of the internal sides 45, are folded back to position themselves on the bottom 9 as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13.
La figure 14 montre la mise en volume de l'étui, montrant les différentes parties détaillées auparavant. La figure 15 représente, en coupe, une variante d'un étui-cendrier 2 correspondant au mode de réalisation de la figure 2.Figure 14 shows the volume of the case, showing the different parts detailed previously. FIG. 15 represents, in section, a variant of an ashtray case 2 corresponding to the embodiment of FIG. 2.
Cet étui 2 permet d'accueillir un paquet de cigarettes 1. Il comporte sur sa face avant 3 une fenêtre 4 permettant l'accès au volume interne 8 de l'étui. La particularité réside dans les moyens d'obturation de cette fenêtre 4, lesquels moyens sont constitués d'un volet 5 en forme de tiroir 25.This case 2 can accommodate a packet of cigarettes 1. It has on its front face 3 a window 4 allowing access to the internal volume 8 of the case. The particularity resides in the closing means of this window 4, which means consist of a flap 5 in the form of a drawer 25.
Ce tiroir 25 apparaît sur le flan détaillé figure 17. Ce tiroir 25 est constitué d'une partie du flan qui se situe dans le prolongement du fond 9, lequel fond est attaché par une ligne de pliage 50 à la face arrière 10.This drawer 25 appears on the blank detailed in FIG. 17. This drawer 25 consists of a part of the blank which is located in the extension of the bottom 9, which bottom is attached by a fold line 50 to the rear face 10.
Ce tiroir 25 comporte lui aussi une fenêtre 51 qui, en position normale comme représenté figure 16, est décalée par rapport à la fenêtre 4 disposée sur la face avant 3.This drawer 25 also has a window 51 which, in the normal position as shown in FIG. 16, is offset with respect to the window 4 arranged on the front face 3.
Cette fenêtre 51 se place en correspondance avec la fenêtre 4 par déplacement du tiroir 25, lequel tiroir est accessible à l'opérateur au moyen du passe-doigts 6. Le tiroir coulisse sous la face avant 3, d'un mouvement qui le déplace vers le fond de l'étui.This window 51 is placed in correspondence with the window 4 by displacement of the drawer 25, which drawer is accessible to the operator by means of the finger pocket 6. The drawer slides under the front face 3, with a movement which moves it towards the bottom of the case.
Le fond 9 est articulé sur la face arrière 10 autour de l'arête 50 et le tiroir 15 formant le volet d'obturation est lié au dit fond 9 par l'arête 52.
Comme représenté figure 15, en position inactive d'obturation, le tiroir 15 est en saillie au-delà du fond de l'étui, libérant la fenêtre 4 en plaçant sa propre fenêtre 51 en vis-à-vis.The bottom 9 is articulated on the rear face 10 around the edge 50 and the drawer 15 forming the shutter is linked to said bottom 9 by the edge 52. As shown in FIG. 15, in the inactive shutter position, the drawer 15 projects beyond the bottom of the case, freeing the window 4 by placing its own window 51 opposite.
Le fond proprement dit de l'étui est constitué de deux rabats 46' qui s'étendent dans le prolongement des côtés latéraux 11 , comme représenté figure 17. Ces deux rabats 46' se replient à l'intérieur de l'étui, devant le fond 9.The bottom itself of the case consists of two flaps 46 'which extend in the extension of the lateral sides 11, as shown in Figure 17. These two flaps 46' fold inside the case, in front of the background 9.
Cet étui 2 est utilisable comme représenté figure 15 avec un paquet de cigarettes 1. Il est également utilisable en tant que cendrier hermétique et autonome comme représenté figure 16 avec tous les attributs du cendrier détaillés auparavant figure 7.This case 2 can be used as shown in FIG. 15 with a pack of cigarettes 1. It can also be used as a hermetic and autonomous ashtray as shown in FIG. 16 with all the attributes of the ashtray detailed previously in FIG. 7.
Cet étui-cendrier peut être obtenu à partir du flan représenté figure 17. Ce flan comprend la face arrière 10 qui comporte, de part et d'autre les côtés latéraux 11 et dans le prolongement de l'un de ces côtés latéraux 11 , la face avant 3 munie de sa fenêtre 4. La partie arrière 10 comporte le fond 9, d'un côté et de l'autre côté, à l'opposé dudit fond 9, le clapet 17 qui sert à fermer l'ouverture de l'étui.This ashtray case can be obtained from the blank shown in FIG. 17. This blank comprises the rear face 10 which comprises, on either side the lateral sides 11 and in the extension of one of these lateral sides 11, the front face 3 provided with its window 4. The rear part 10 comprises the bottom 9, on one side and on the other side, opposite said bottom 9, the valve 17 which serves to close the opening of the case.
Au-delà du fond 9, comme détaillé auparavant, on trouve le tiroir 25.Beyond the bottom 9, as detailed above, there is the drawer 25.
Toujours figure 17, on remarque une partie 53 destinée à se rabattre sur la surface interne de la face avant 3, jusqu'à la fenêtre 4. Cette partie interne 53 et la face avant 3 enveloppent le tiroir 25 et lui servent de guide, en particulier pour son extrémité 55 et le reste du pourtour de la fenêtre 51.Still in FIG. 17, there is a part 53 intended to be folded over the internal surface of the front face 3, up to the window 4. This internal part 53 and the front face 3 envelop the drawer 25 and serve as a guide, in particular for its end 55 and the rest of the periphery of the window 51.
La face avant 3 comporte, à l'opposé du côté latéral 11 , un côté repéré 11 ' qui se positionne à l'intérieur de l'étui, collé par exemple sur la face interne de l'autre côté 11. La figure 18 représente en coupe, l'étui 2 selon le mode de réalisation représenté figure 3.The front face 3 comprises, opposite the lateral side 11, a side marked 11 'which is positioned inside the case, glued for example on the internal face of the other side 11. FIG. 18 represents in section, the case 2 according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 3.
Cet étui accueille un paquet de cigarettes 1 qui est partiellement extrait, découvrant la fenêtre 4 pour permettre l'introduction de cendres, mégots 7 ou autres. Cet étui 2 comporte un volet d'obturation 5 qui se présente là encore sous la forme d'un tiroir 35 qui coulisse sous la face avant 3, entre le paquet 1 et la surface interne de cette face avant.
La face avant 3 comporte au niveau de l'entrée de l'étui, un passe-doigts 6 qui permet à l'opérateur de déplacer le tiroir 35 de sa position active comme représenté figure 19 à une position inactive comme représenté figure 18.This case accommodates a packet of cigarettes 1 which is partially extracted, revealing the window 4 to allow the introduction of ashes, butts 7 or the like. This case 2 comprises a shutter 5 which is again in the form of a drawer 35 which slides under the front face 3, between the package 1 and the internal surface of this front face. The front face 3 comprises at the entrance of the case, a finger pass 6 which allows the operator to move the drawer 35 from its active position as shown in FIG. 19 to an inactive position as shown in FIG. 18.
Figure 19, l'étui 2 est représenté comme cendrier autonome c'est-à-dire sans le paquet de cigarettes 1. Ce cendrier forme une boîte fermée grâce à son clapet 17 qui a été détaillé auparavant en liaison avec les autres modes de réalisation.Figure 19, the case 2 is shown as a stand-alone ashtray, that is to say without the pack of cigarettes 1. This ashtray forms a closed box thanks to its valve 17 which has been detailed previously in connection with the other embodiments .
L'étui 2 de ce mode de réalisation correspondant à la figure 3 et aux figures 18 à 23, comprend deux parties : l'étui proprement dit obtenu à partir d'un flan comme représenté figure 21 et le volet d'obturation 5 en forme de tiroir 35 obtenu à partir d'un flan représenté figure 22.The case 2 of this embodiment corresponding to Figure 3 and Figures 18 to 23, comprises two parts: the case itself obtained from a blank as shown in Figure 21 and the shutter 5 shaped drawer 35 obtained from a blank shown in FIG. 22.
Ce volet d'obturation 5 ou tiroir, est constitué d'une feuille 56 dont les dimensions en largeur correspondent aux dimensions internes de l'étui. Cette feuille 56 comporte une fenêtre 57 dont les dimensions correspondent à celles de la fenêtre 4. On remarque, de part et d'autre de la fenêtre 57, des rabats 59 qui s'étendent sur une portion de la longueur des bordures de la feuille 56, la moitié environ.This shutter 5 or drawer, consists of a sheet 56 whose width dimensions correspond to the internal dimensions of the case. This sheet 56 includes a window 57 whose dimensions correspond to those of window 4. We note, on either side of the window 57, flaps 59 which extend over a portion of the length of the edges of the sheet 56, about half.
Le flan constituant l'étui proprement dit, représenté figure 21 , comprend la partie constituant la face avant 3 munie de la fenêtre 4, laquelle face avant 3 est prolongée par le fond 9, lequel fond est lui-même prolongé par la partie constituant la face arrière 10 et cette face arrière se prolonge à l'opposé du fond 9 par le clapet de fermeture 17.The blank constituting the case proper, represented in FIG. 21, comprises the part constituting the front face 3 provided with the window 4, which front face 3 is extended by the bottom 9, which bottom is itself extended by the part constituting the rear face 10 and this rear face is extended opposite the bottom 9 by the closing valve 17.
La face avant 3 est bordée de côtés latéraux 45' qui à l'inverse des côtésThe front face 3 is bordered by lateral sides 45 'which, unlike the sides
45 représentés figure 10, constituent les côtés latéraux externes de l'étui. Ces côtés 45' se prolongent, au niveau du fond 9, par des rabats 46 qui viennent en doublage du fond 9, faisant également étanchéité au niveau des angles dudit fond de l'étui.45 shown in Figure 10, constitute the outer lateral sides of the case. These sides 45 ′ are extended, at the bottom 9, by flaps 46 which double the bottom 9, also making a seal at the corners of said bottom of the case.
La face arrière 10 est également bordée latéralement par des côtés latéraux 32' qui constituent les côtés latéraux internes. Ces côtés latéraux coopèrent avec le tiroir 35. Ils comportent chacun des rainures 60 qui permettent de guider le tiroir 35. Comme représenté figure 21 de façon simplifiée, le tiroir 35 coulisse, guidé sur le fond des rainures 60, au moyen de ses rabats 59 qui s'étendent à l'extérieur des côtés 32'.
L'extrémité avant au moins des rainures 60 comporte, du côté de l'entrée 16 de l'étui, des butées 61 qui permettent de limiter la course du tiroir 35 et d'éviter ainsi son extraction intempestive.The rear face 10 is also bordered laterally by lateral sides 32 ′ which constitute the internal lateral sides. These lateral sides cooperate with the drawer 35. They each have grooves 60 which make it possible to guide the drawer 35. As shown in FIG. 21 in a simplified manner, the drawer 35 slides, guided on the bottom of the grooves 60, by means of its flaps 59 which extend outside the sides 32 '. The front end at least of the grooves 60 comprises, on the side of the inlet 16 of the case, stops 61 which make it possible to limit the stroke of the drawer 35 and thus avoid its untimely extraction.
La figure 23 montre l'opération de mise en volume de l'étui. Le tiroir 35 est positionné sur les côtés latéraux internes 32'. Sa fenêtre 57 se situe vers le fond de l'étui ; dans cette position, le tiroir 35 est en position inactive c'est-à-dire qu'il obture la fenêtre 4 de la face avant de l'étui.Figure 23 shows the case volume setting operation. The drawer 35 is positioned on the internal lateral sides 32 '. Its window 57 is located towards the bottom of the case; in this position, the drawer 35 is in the inactive position, that is to say that it closes the window 4 of the front face of the case.
Le clapet 17 ferme l'entrée de l'étui. Ce clapet 17 s'étend sous le tiroir 35.The valve 17 closes the entrance to the case. This valve 17 extends under the drawer 35.
Le fond 9 est doublé par les rabats 46 situés aux extrémités des côtés 45'. Les rabats 26 sont disposés à l'extrémité des côtés 45', au niveau de l'entrée de l'étui.The bottom 9 is doubled by the flaps 46 located at the ends of the sides 45 '. The flaps 26 are arranged at the end of the sides 45 ′, at the entrance to the case.
Ces rabats 26 se replient sur les côtés internes 32' et en particulier sur les languettes 21 du clapet 17.These flaps 26 fold back on the internal sides 32 ′ and in particular on the tongues 21 of the valve 17.
Les côtés 32' comportent également les découpes 47 formant les butées anti extraction qui coopèrent avec le fond 12 du paquet de cigarettes comme représenté figure 24. Ces butées 47 se situent à l'intérieur de l'étui et se maintiennent élastiquement en saillie à l'intérieur.The sides 32 ′ also include the cutouts 47 forming the anti-extraction stops which cooperate with the bottom 12 of the pack of cigarettes as shown in FIG. 24. These stops 47 are located inside the case and remain elastically protruding at the inside.
La figure 25 représente un flan réalisé par exemple en matériau du genre carton ignifugé ou revêtu d'aluminium. On trouve sur ce flan, une partie constituant la face avant 3, le fond 9 qui est interposé entre cette face et la partie formant la face arrière 10.FIG. 25 represents a blank made for example of material of the fireproof cardboard type or coated with aluminum. On this blank, there is a part constituting the front face 3, the bottom 9 which is interposed between this face and the part forming the rear face 10.
