Definitions
- the invention relates to the packaging of articles. More specifically, it relates to packages in which the articles are kept grouped by means of a film enclosing them.
- An ordinary package includes a group of items wrapped in heat shrunk plastic film.
- a group of items such as bottles has many reliefs and hollows. Because of its elasticity, the film marries the reliefs and partially fills the hollows between the articles. This property of the film makes it possible to ensure good cohesion of the group of articles, especially during the various manipulations that the package undergoes.
- European Patent EP 717 712 describes a pack containing a group of bottles wrapped in a heat-shrunk plastic film provided with precut lines arranged between two successive rows of bottles, to allow the opening easy package and separation of rows of bottles.
- the invention aims to provide an alternative solution, which facilitates the extraction of articles from a film package.
- the invention proposes a packet comprising:
- a sidewall made of a rigid or semi-rigid material disposed on the articles and comprising an upper panel covering the tops of at least one row of articles;
- the sidewall comprises two lateral panels folded against the articles and which laterally cover an upper part thereof, this upper part being flared from the top towards the bottom.
- the side panels have preferably advances that cover laterally, at least partially, the articles of the first row.
- the film it is preferably provided with a precut which extends between the first row and the adjacent row, following, at least locally, a front edge of the sidewall.
- the sidewall is made of cardboard, whose grammage is greater than 280 g / m 2 , and for example 320 g / m 2 or 380 g / m 2 approximately.
- the sidewall may have two retractable flaps made in the upper panel, delimited by cutouts having a concavity facing a rear end of the pack, opposite the front end.
- the package comprises eight articles grouped into four rows of two articles each. The articles are for example containers, and in particular bottles.
- the invention proposes a package comprising:
- a sidewall made of a rigid or semi-rigid material and covering the apex of at least one of the articles;
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pack of articles according to the invention
- Fig. 2 is a side elevational view of the pack of Fig. 1
- Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1, wherein manual gripping means of the package are in a different configuration
- Figures 4 and 5 are views similar to Figure 1, which illustrate the opening of the package and the extraction of articles thereof;
- Figures 6, 7, 8 and 9 are views illustrating steps of a method of manufacturing the package.
- a package 1 comprises a plurality of items 2 (here containers such as bottles or flasks), in this case eight in number, grouped in rows of two adjacent items 2 .
- items 2 here containers such as bottles or flasks
- reference 2 will be used to name articles or containers indifferently.
- each article when it is constituted by a container 2, such as a bottle or a bottle, has:
- FIG. 1 A top 10, opposite the bottom 9 and defined by a neck 11 surmounted by a plug 12, - a side wall 13 comprising a substantially cylindrical lower portion 14, called body, and a flared upper portion (frustoconical in this case) , the base of the truncated cone being located at its junction with the body 14), called shoulder, which connects the vertex 10 to the body 14.
- the package 1 further comprises a flank 16, made of a rigid or semi-rigid material and comprising a substantially plane top panel 17, which covers the vertices 10 of the containers 2 of the second, third and and fourth rows 5, 6, 7 leaving exposed the vertices 10 of the containers 2 of the first row 4, a front edge 18 of the upper panel 17 extending between the vertices 10 of the containers 2 of the first row 4 and those of the second row 5, substantially parallel thereto.
- a flank 16 made of a rigid or semi-rigid material and comprising a substantially plane top panel 17, which covers the vertices 10 of the containers 2 of the second, third and and fourth rows 5, 6, 7 leaving exposed the vertices 10 of the containers 2 of the first row 4, a front edge 18 of the upper panel 17 extending between the vertices 10 of the containers 2 of the first row 4 and those of the second row 5, substantially parallel thereto.
- the flank 16 is preferably made of cardboard, with a basis weight preferably greater than 280 g / m 2 .
- the basis weight of the board is 320 g / m 2 ; it can also be 380 g / m 2 .
- the flank 16 may be made of a plastic material such as polypropylene.
- the package 1 finally comprises a film 19 enclosing the whole, that is to say, together the containers 2 and the sidewall 16.
- This is a plastic film (such as polyethylene) heat shrunk, which, in the parts of the containers 2 not covered by the flank 16, substantially matches the shapes of the containers 2 (in particular at the body 14 and the bottom 9), but which, at the top 10 of the containers 2, in the rows 5, 6, 7 covered, extends in the plane of the flank 16.
- the flank 16 provides the dual function of preventing the film 19 to fill, even partially, the hollows between the vertices 10 of the containers 2, and, by the smooth appearance of its inner face (ie the side turned towards the containers 2), not to oppose resistance to the extraction of containers 2.
- the flank 16 and the film 19 have, conversely, in particular packets of the type described in Chapman, contradictory functions: the film 19 aims at ensuring the close cohesion of the group of articles 2 while the flank 16 aims on the contrary to facilitate the movement of the articles 2 relative to each other.
- the sidewall 16 comprises, on either side of the upper panel 17, two side panels 20 folded against the side walls 13 of the containers 2 and which extend over a part the height of these, for example, as in this case, so as to cover the shoulder 15.
- This provision further facilitates the extraction of the containers 2 of the second, third and fourth rows 5, 6, 7 in avoiding the formation of depressions in the film 19 at the shoulders 15 between the containers 2 of two adjacent rows.
- each side panel 20 has a substantially trapezoidal shape, and has an advance 21, delimited by an oblique front edge 22 and which, near a lower edge 23 of the side panel 20, partially covers the shoulder 15 of the container 2 of the first row 4, at the junction between the shoulder 15 and the body 14.
- the side panel 20 prevents the formation of a hollow in the film 19 at the shoulders 15 between the containers 2 of the first row 4 and those of the second row 5, which facilitates the extraction of the containers 2 both of them.
- the film 19 is provided with a precut 24 which extends between the containers 2 of the first row 4 and those of the second row 5. As is visible in FIG. 1, this precut 24 constitutes a line which, locally, extends along the front edge 18 of the upper panel 17, adjoining it on the side of the front end 3 of the package 1.
- This pre-cut 24 is intended to facilitate the opening of the package 1 for the extraction of the containers 2 from the first row 4.
- the part of the film 19 covering the containers 2 of the first row 4 can be torn off alone, but it will be more easily torn off. by simply pulling on the containers 2, as shown in FIG. 4.
- the containers 2 of the following rows 5, 6, 7 (covered by the sidewall 16) are then extracted by being gripped by their neck 11 or even by their shoulder 15, then tilted forwards without forcing, as shown in FIG. .
- the flank 16 has two frangible flaps in the form of a half-moon, each delimited by a cut 26 in a semicircle.
- a first flap is formed between the second row 5 and the third 6, the second being formed between the third row 6 and the fourth 7.
- the flaps 25 are retracted inside the package 1 by tilting around a fold line 27 joining the diametrically opposite ends of the cutouts 26, ( Figure 3), which facilitates the gripping thereof, for example to his extraction from a supermarket rack.
- the cutouts 26 both have their concavity turned towards the rear, so that even after the flaps 25 have been retracted, they do not form an obstacle to the extraction of the containers 2 from the third row 6 and the fourth row 7 and are simply, under the pressure of the containers 2, pushed forward by tilting around their fold line 27.
- items 2 of package 1 which has just been described are containers, it could be any other type of articles: cans, beverage cans, glasses, jars, etc.
- the configuration of the package 1 which has just been described corresponds to a conventional configuration that is frequently encountered in supermarket shelves, especially for low capacity bottles (in particular 0.5 liter bottles).
- any other configuration might be appropriate (eg six items grouped in rows of two, or nine articles grouped in rows of three), the minimum requirements being however that the package should include at least two articles, one of which is left uncovered. by the flank and the second covered by it.
- the film 19 is precut along a continuous line parallel to one of its lateral edges, the positioning of the film 19 being such that the precut 24 comes to be placed between the first row 4 and the second 5.
- the assembly finally transits through a tunnel furnace (not shown) where the film 19 is heat-shrunk to jointly clamp the containers 2 and the flank 16, which is thus firmly held in place.
- the method which has just been described can in particular be implemented in a conventional shrinkwrapper (such as the seamless shrinkwrapper proposed by the company CERMEX under the trade name TS EVOLUTION 3), which would be added a position of feeding flanks flat and, if necessary, a bending station flanks around the containers.
