Description

La présente invention conceme un ensemble pour emballage du type comprenant :

  • une bague métallique à axe X-X destinée à être sertie sur un corps de base de l'emballage délimitant, à l'état monté, une ouverture d'accès à l'emballage, et
  • une anse de préhension reliée à la bague et déployable entre une position escamotée dans la bague et une position en saillie de préhension.
The present invention relates to a packaging assembly of the type comprising:
  • a metal ring XX axis to be crimped on a base body of the package defining, in the mounted state, an access opening to the package, and
  • a gripping loop connected to the ring and deployable between a retracted position in the ring and a projecting protruding position.

On connaît, par exemple du document FR-A-2 794 431 , un emballage comportant un ensemble de ce type.We know, for example from the document FR-A-2 794 431 , a package comprising a set of this type.

Cet emballage comprend une bague métallique munie d'un bord externe serti sur un corps de base et d'un bord interne délimitant une ouverture d'accès à l'intérieur de l'emballage. Cette bague porte une anse en fil de fer munie d'extrémités recourbées. Ces extrémités sont immobilisées par emboîtement entre le bord interne et une partie centrale de la bague. Les extrémités sont fixées circonférentiellement et radialement par des bossages disposés sur la bague, tandis qu'elles restent libres en rotation autour d'un axe d'articulation de l'anse.This package comprises a metal ring provided with an outer edge crimped on a base body and an inner edge defining an access opening inside the package. This ring carries a loop of wire with curved ends. These ends are immobilized by interlocking between the inner edge and a central portion of the ring. The ends are fixed circumferentially and radially by bosses arranged on the ring, while they remain free in rotation about an axis of articulation of the handle.

Cet emballage présente les inconvénients suivants :

  1. La formation des différents bossages sur la bague nécessaires pour la fixation de l'anse multiplie les opérations et les manipulations, ce qui augmente de ce fait le prix de revient d'un tel emballage.
This package has the following drawbacks:
  1. The formation of the various bosses on the ring necessary for fixing the handle multiplies operations and manipulations, thereby increasing the cost price of such a package.

Le document FR-A-2 804 092 décrit également un ensemble d'emballage.The document FR-A-2 804 092 also describes a packaging package.

Cet ensemble comprend une bague métallique et une anse en matière plastique.This set includes a metal ring and a plastic handle.

La bague métallique comporte un bord interne, qui délimite une ouverture d'accès à l'emballage et qui est roulé vers l'extérieur en formant une collerette.The metal ring has an inner edge, which defines an access opening to the package and is rolled outwardly forming a flange.

Des pattes d'encliquetage sont solidaires de l'anse. L'anse est fixée par encliquetage de ces pattes sur le bord interne de la bague.Snap tabs are integral with the handle. The handle is fixed by snapping of these tabs on the inner edge of the ring.

Il n'est pas exdu que l'anse se libère de la bague métallique par désencliquetage, notamment lorsque la bague a été déformée accidentellement et lorsque l'emballage est chargé.It is not difficult that the handle is released from the metal ring by disengagement, especially when the ring has been deformed accidentally and when the package is loaded.

Un autre emballage est connu du document BE-A-740 556 .Another package is known from the document BE-A-740,556 .

L'invention a pour but de pallier les inconvénients cités, et de proposer un ensemble pour emballage qui soit peu coûteux à fabriquer, qui soit agréable à manipuler, et qui présente une liaison stable de l'anse à la bague métallique.The invention aims to overcome the drawbacks mentioned, and to provide a packaging assembly that is inexpensive to manufacture, which is pleasant to handle, and which has a stable connection of the handle to the metal ring.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un ensemble du type précité caractérisé en ce que l'anse est reliée à un anneau en plastique serti sur la bague métallique.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is an assembly of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the handle is connected to a plastic ring crimped onto the metal ring.

On a représenté sur la Figure 1 un emballage selon l'invention, désigné par la référence générale 10.We have shown on the Figure 1 a package according to the invention, designated by the general reference 10.

L'emballage 10 comporte un corps métallique 12, de forme générale de révolution d'axe X-X, par exemple cylindrique, muni d'une extrémité supérieure 14, d'accès à l'intérieur de l'emballage, et d'une extrémité inférieure 16 portant un fond 18.The package 10 comprises a metal body 12, generally of revolution of axis XX, for example cylindrical, provided with an upper end 14, access to the interior of the package, and a lower end 16 carrying a bottom 18.

Dans ce qui suit, les expressions « axiale » et « radiale » seront utilisées par rapport à l'axe X-X.In what follows, the expressions "axial" and "radial" will be used with respect to the X-X axis.

L'emballage 10 comporte également une bague métallique 20 munie d'un bord externe 20E serti sur l'extrémité supérieure 14 du corps et d'un bord interne 201 délimitant une ouverture 22 d'accès à l'intérieur de l'emballage. On notera que le bord interne 201 de la bague 20 est roulé vers l'extérieur de l'ouverture 22 et comporte une arête 23 (voir Figure 6).The package 10 also comprises a metal ring 20 provided with an outer edge 20E crimped on the upper end 14 of the body and an inner edge 201 defining an opening 22 to access the inside of the package. Note that the inner edge 201 of the ring 20 is rolled out of the opening 22 and has an edge 23 (see Figure 6 ).

Les bords interne 20I et externe 20E de la bague 20 sont séparés par une partie centrale annulaire 20C de cette bague, partie s'étendant sensiblement radialement depuis la périphérie du corps 12 vers l'axe X-X.The inner 20I and outer 20E edges of the ring 20 are separated by an annular central portion 20C of this ring, part extending substantially radially from the periphery of the body 12 to the X-X axis.

Le bord interne 20I s'étend, à partir de la partie centrale 20C, axialement vers l'extérieur de l'emballage à l'état monté, donc vers le haut sur les Figures 4 et 6.The inner edge 20I extends, from the central portion 20C, axially outwardly of the package in the assembled state, and therefore upwards on the Figures 4 and 6 .

L'ouverture 22 est obturable, de façon connue en soi, au moyen d'un couvercle classique 24 (voir Figure 4) placé dans cette ouverture 22 par emboîtement.The opening 22 is closable, in a manner known per se, by means of a conventional cover 24 (see Figure 4 ) placed in this opening 22 by interlocking.

L'emballage 10 comporte en outre une anse 26 en matière plastique immobilisée sur la bague 20.The package 10 further comprises a loop 26 of plastic immobilized on the ring 20.

Sur la Figure 2 est représentée l'anse 26 en vue de dessus à l'état non monté.On the Figure 2 is shown the handle 26 in plan view in the unassembled state.

L'anse 26 comprend une première portion de liaison 28 de forme générale semi-cylindrique formant poignée et comportant deux extrémités 30, 32. Un pied d'anse 34, 36 est relié à chaque extrémité 30, 32 de la portion de liaison 28 par une partie de faible épaisseur formant chamière 38, 40. Les pieds d'anse 34, 36 sont immobilisés sur la bague 20 par sertissage (voir ci-après).The handle 26 comprises a first connecting portion 28 of semi-cylindrical general shape forming a handle and having two ends 30, 32. A foot of loop 34, 36 is connected to each end 30, 32 of the connecting portion 28 by a small thickness forming chamber 38, 40. The looping feet 34, 36 are immobilized on the ring 20 by crimping (see below).

Comme illustré sur la Figure 4, les pieds d'anse 34,36 sont sertis axialement entre le bord interne 20I et la partie centrale 20C.As illustrated on the Figure 4 , the feet 34,36 are crimped axially between the inner edge 20I and the central portion 20C.

Les parties de faible épaisseur 38, 40 définissent un premier axe d'articulation A1 de la portion de liaison 28 par rapport à la bague 20. Cet axe A1 s'étend perpendiculairement par rapport à l'axe X-X et à une distance d de ce dernier.The thin portions 38, 40 define a first hinge axis A1 of the connecting portion 28 with respect to the ring 20. This axis A1 extends perpendicular to the axis XX and at a distance d from latest.

Par ailleurs, l'anse 26 comprend une seconde portion de liaison 42 sensiblement identique à la première portion de liaison 28 et articulée à ses extrémités 44, 46 par des parties de faible épaisseur 48, 50 autour d'un second axe A2 aux pieds d'anse 34, 36. Comme différence, la seconde portion de liaison 42 présente un diamètre légèrement inférieur au diamètre de la première portion de liaison 28. De plus, elle comporte sur sa partie centrale, entre les deux extrémités, un nez de retenue 52. Le second axe A2 s'étend parallèlement au premier axe A1 à la distance d de l'axe X-X, du coté opposé du premier axe A1. L'anse 26 est donc sensiblement symétrique par rapport à un plan P s'étendant parallèlement aux axes A 1 et A 2 et comprenant l'axe X-X.Furthermore, the handle 26 comprises a second connecting portion 42 substantially identical to the first connecting portion 28 and articulated at its ends 44, 46 by thin portions 48, 50 about a second axis A2 at the feet of As a difference, the second connecting portion 42 has a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the first connecting portion 28. In addition, it has on its central portion, between the two ends, a retaining nose 52 The second axis A2 extends parallel to the first axis A1 at the distance d from the axis XX, on the opposite side of the first axis A1. The loop 26 is therefore substantially symmetrical with respect to a plane P extending parallel to the axes A 1 and A 2 and including the axis XX.

Chaque portion de liaison 28, 42 est déplaçable entre une position rabattue en appui sur la partie centrale 20C de la bague, et une position dressée de préhension. La position rabattue des portions de liaison 28, 42 est représentée sur la Figure 1 et en traits interrompus sur la Figure 4, tandis que la position dressée est représentée sur la Figure 4. On notera qu'en position rabattue, chaque portion de liaison 28, 42 est en retrait axialement vers l'extrémité inférieure 16 du corps 12 par rapport aux bords interne 201 et externe 20E de la bague. En position dressée des deux portions de liaison 28, 42 le nez de retenue 52 s'applique contre le bord de la première portion de liaison 28 et empêche, de ce fait, un basculement vers la position rabattue de ces deux portions 28, 42. Les pieds d'anse 34, 30 comportent un anneau d'immobilisation 54. Cet anneau 54 s'étend radialement à l'intérieur des contours des portions de liaison 28, 42. Il présente un diamètre intérieur qui est adapté au diamètre externe du bord interne 20I. Comme on le voit sur la Figure 6, l'anneau d'immobilisation 54 comporte une saillie de fixation 56. Cette saillie 56 est de forme annulaire et s'étend à partir de la surface de l'anneau 54 opposée de la partie centrale 20C et parallèlement à l'axe X-X. La saillie de fixation 56 est disposée sur le bord interne de l'anneau d'immobilisation 54. Une partie supérieure 58 de la saillie de fixation 56 est coudée radialement vers l'extérieur par la partie supérieure du bord interne roulé 201. Ainsi, la saillie de fixation 56 est sertie axialement entre la partie centrale 20C et la partie supérieure du bord interne roulé 20I. Par ailleurs, l'arête 23 du bord interne 20I incise dans une partie axialement médiane 60 de la saillie de fixation 56 et fixe l'anneau d'immobilisation 54 axialement, radialement et circonférentiellement sur la bague par rapport à l'axe X-X.Each connecting portion 28, 42 is movable between a folded position resting on the central portion 20C of the ring, and an upright gripping position. The folded position of the connecting portions 28, 42 is represented on the Figure 1 and in broken lines on the Figure 4 , while the erect position is represented on the Figure 4 . Note that in the folded position, each connecting portion 28, 42 is recessed axially towards the lower end 16 of the body 12 relative to the inner 201 and outer edges 20E of the ring. In the erected position of the two connecting portions 28, 42 the retaining nose 52 is applied against the edge of the first connecting portion 28 and thus prevents a tilting towards the folded position of these two portions 28, 42. The looping feet 34, 30 comprise an immobilizing ring 54. This ring 54 extends radially inside the contours of the connecting portions 28, 42. It has an internal diameter which is adapted to the external diameter of the edge internal 20I. As we see on the Figure 6 , the immobilizing ring 54 has a fixing projection 56. This projection 56 is annular in shape and extends from the surface of the ring 54 opposite the central portion 20C and parallel to the axis XX. The attachment projection 56 is disposed on the inner edge of the immobilization ring 54. An upper portion 58 of the attachment projection 56 is bent radially outwardly by the upper portion of the inner rolled edge 201. Thus, the fixing projection 56 is crimped axially between the central portion 20C and the upper part of the inner rolled edge 20I. Furthermore, the edge 23 of the inner edge 20I incises in an axially central portion 60 of the fixing projection 56 and fixes the immobilization ring 54 axially, radially and circumferentially on the ring relative to the axis XX.

L'emballage selon l'invention est fabriqué de la façon suivante :

  • Tout d'abord, on fabrique le corps métallique 12 et la bague métallique 20, comprenant le bord externe 20E, la partie centrale 20C, et le bord interne 20I.
The packaging according to the invention is manufactured in the following way:
  • First, the metal body 12 and the metal ring 20, comprising the outer edge 20E, the central portion 20C, and the inner edge 20I are manufactured.

Sur la Figure 5 est représenté un détail de l'emballage pendant une étape intermédiaire de la fabrication, ce détail correspondant à la Figure 6. Lors de cette étape, cet emballage est constitué du corps 12 et de la bague 20. Le bord interne 20I de la bague 20 forme un rebord 70 et n'est pas roulé. Il dépasse axialement le bord externe 20E.On the Figure 5 a detail of the packaging is shown during an intermediate stage of manufacture, this detail corresponding to the Figure 6 . During this step, this package consists of the body 12 and the ring 20. The inner edge 20I of the ring 20 forms a flange 70 and is not rolled. It projects axially beyond the outer edge 20E.

En outre, on fabrique l'anse 26 telle que représentée sur les Figures 2 et 3, par exemple par injection de matière thermoplastique. Comme on le voit sur la Figure 7, les anses 26 selon l'invention peuvent facilement être empilées les unes sur les autres grâce à la saillie de fixation 56 annulaire. En conséquence, leur stockage et manipulation sont facilités.In addition, handle 26 is manufactured as shown in FIG. Figures 2 and 3 for example by injection of thermoplastic material. As we see on the Figure 7 , the handles 26 according to the invention can easily be stacked on each other thanks to the annular fixing projection 56. As a result, their storage and handling are facilitated.

Puis on enfiche l'anneau d'immobilisation 54 sur le bord interne 20I, l'élasticité de cet anneau 54 permettant un franchissement du rebord 70. L'anse 26 vient se placer contre la partie centrale 20C de la bague 20.Then the immobilization ring 54 is inserted on the internal edge 20I, the elasticity of this ring 54 allowing the flange 70 to be crossed. The handle 26 is placed against the central portion 20C of the ring 20.

Ensuite, on roule le bord interne 20I axialement vers la partie centrale 20C, jusqu'au moment où le bord interne 201 roulé sertisse axialement la saillie de fixation 56. L'arete 23 inclse la partie médiane 60 de cette saillie, On constate que la position circonférentiells de l'anse 26 et de la bague 20 lors de la fabrication est sans importance grâce au fait que les surfaces de fixation de l'anse sur la bague soient symétriques en rotation.Then, the inner edge 20I is rolled axially towards the central portion 20C, until the internal edge 201 rolled axially crimps the fixing projection 56. The edge 23 includes the middle portion 60 of this projection, It is noted that the circumferential position of the loop 26 and the ring 20 during manufacture is unimportant because the fastening surfaces of the loop on the ring are symmetrical in rotation.

De plus, les portions de liaison 28, 42 présentent une large surface d'appui dans la main, ce qui rend l'utilisation de l'emballage agréable.In addition, the connecting portions 28, 42 have a large bearing surface in the hand, which makes the use of the package pleasant.

Sur les Figures 8 à 10 on a représenté un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'anse non revendiqué. Dans ce qui suit uniquement les différences par rapport au premier mode de réalisation seront décrites. Les éléments analogues portent des références identiques.On the Figures 8 to 10 there is shown a second embodiment of the unclaimed handle. In what follows only the differences with respect to the first embodiment will be described. The analogous elements bear identical references.

La portion d'immobilisation de cette anse 26 est formée par deux courtes parties 54A, 54B s'étendant radialement vers l'intérieur à partir des extrémités des pieds d'anse 34, 36. En d'autres termes, les parties de l'anneau d'immobilisation du premier mode de réalisation, qui se trouvent en face des portions de liaison 28, 42 ont été supprimées. Il est à noter que la section médiane des parties 54A, 548 est identique à la section de l'anneau d'immobilisation 54.The immobilization portion of this loop 26 is formed by two short portions 54A, 54B extending radially inwardly from the ends of the loop feet 34, 36. In other words, the parts of the immobilization ring of the first embodiment, which are opposite the connecting portions 28, 42 have been removed. It should be noted that the median section of the portions 54A, 548 is identical to the section of the immobilization ring 54.

Cette anse 26 présente une élasticité radiale plus importante, et permet par conséquent un franchissement plus facile du rebord 70 du bord interne lors de l'assemblage de l'emballage.This handle 26 has a greater radial elasticity, and therefore allows an easier crossing of the rim 70 of the inner edge during assembly of the package.

Par ailleurs, cette anse 26 nécessite moins de matière plastique.Moreover, this handle 26 requires less plastic material.

Sur les Figures 11 à 14 on a représenté un troisième mode de réalisation de l'anse non revendiqué.On the Figures 11 to 14 there is shown a third embodiment of the unclaimed handle.

Cette anse 26 ne comporte qu'une seule portion de liaison 28 formant poignée.This handle 26 has only one connecting portion 28 forming a handle.

L'anse 26 comporte des portions d'immobilisation 54A, 54B analogues à celles du deuxième mode de réalisation. Comme différence, ces portions d'immobilisation sont disposées circonférentiellement décalées par rapport à celles du deuxième mode de réalisation, de telle sorte que l'axe d'articulation A1 coupe sensiblement perpendiculairement l'axe X-X de la bague. Un déséquilibre de l'emballage est en conséquence évité (voir Figure 14).The handle 26 has immobilization portions 54A, 54B similar to those of the second embodiment. As a difference, these immobilization portions are disposed circumferentially offset from those of the second embodiment, so that the hinge axis A1 substantially perpendicularly intersects the axis XX of the ring. An imbalance of the packaging is therefore avoided (see Figure 14 ).

La fabrication et l'assemblage de cette anse 26 sur la bague 20 est analogue à l'assemblage des modes de réalisation précités. Cette anse 26 utilise peu de matière plastique.The manufacture and assembly of this handle 26 on the ring 20 is similar to the assembly of the aforementioned embodiments. This handle 26 uses little plastic material.
