Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of flower bouquet packaging, and more specifically water reserve packaging.
- such packaging devices for bouquets of flowers comprise a packaging film, waterproof, plastic material intended to form a reserve of water, and a support element, reinforcement, often made of rigid or semi-rigid plastic material. rigid, intended to give shape to the package and to allow the stable maintenance of the package on a horizontal surface.
- the document FR 2 946 025 proposes a package which comprises firstly, a first part consisting of two flexible sheets, one decorative and the other waterproof, associated with a flexible plastic star-shaped frame comprising a plurality of deformable branches, and secondly, a rigid shaper is fixed on the base of the flexible armature intended to cooperate with the branches and to give its final shape to the package.
- a sleeve is disposed at the periphery of the waterproof sheet in such a manner to pass a single string, cooperating with the ends of the branches to straighten them and form the package.
- Such a device can form the package by fixing the shaper on the flexible frame, then exerting a pulling action on the string.
- the traction on the string allows the arms of the armature to be grouped until they are abutted on shaper arms and thus to form the package.
- Such a device however has the disadvantage of a loss of storage space, several separate parts (the flexible frame and the shaper) being required to achieve the packaging. It is not possible to obtain the final shape of the package using only the twine and the flexible reinforcement, without the presence of the shaper.
- the shaper is therefore an essential element of the device, which by its rigidity and its size will not facilitate the storage of the device.
- the invention particularly aims to overcome the various disadvantages of these known techniques.
- an object of the invention is, at least in a particular embodiment, to limit the number of operations necessary for the realization of the packaging.
- Another object of the invention is, at least in a particular embodiment, to provide a package that is easy to make.
- the invention also aims, at least in a particular embodiment, to provide a package that is easy to store.
- Yet another object of the invention is, at least in a particular embodiment, to provide an environmentally friendly and easily recyclable packaging.
- a package for a bouquet of flowers comprising a waterproof packaging sheet, intended to constitute a water tank, on which is bonded a reinforcing element intended to form said package, said reinforcing element comprising a base around which angularly distributed arms, directed in directions, in particular radial, around the base articulated to said base.
- said arms are provided with loops at their upper part, said package comprising two independent clamping links, said first clamping link and second clamping link, said two clamping links each traversing successively passers-by, each clamping link having a gripping zone, said two clamping links respectively passing through two orifices of two of said diametrically opposed arms, such that the gripping zones are diametrically opposite, and said package can move from a flat position in which the base and arms of said reinforcing member are substantially in the same plane, at a volume position by simultaneously pulling on the clamping links and exerting on the gripping areas two opposing forces of meaning.
- each orifice may comprise means for locking the clamping links.
- the blocking means can form the same element with the orifice.
- the clamping links respectively pass through two orifices of the sheet juxtaposed with the orifices of said arms.
- the bases of said arms are enlarged so as to abut against each other in the volume position and form a ring, in the volume position of the packaging device.
- each tightening link forms a loop, the gripping zone of each clamping link forming a hip when said package is in a volume position.
- said packaging sheet, said reinforcing element and said clamping ties are made of a same plastic material, in particular polypropylene.
- At least two diametrically opposite arms have at their end hooks directed downwards.
- the invention also relates to an assembly intended to be suspended vertically and comprising a superposition of several packages according to the invention, in their flat position, and a suspension device for holding the packages mutually via a detachable extension of each wrapping sheet.
- the general principle of the invention is therefore based on the use of a package 1 for a bouquet of flowers comprising a packing sheet 10 impermeable to water, and preferably of circular shape, intended to constitute a reservoir of water in which the stems of the bouquet of flowers will rest.
- a reinforcing element 2 shown in FIG. figure 1 is intended to give the shape of the package, the reinforcing element 2 comprising a base 20 bonded to the center of the packaging sheet 10, preferably circular, around which are angularly distributed, arms 21 glued to the their free end to the packing sheet 10, preferably directed in radial directions around the base 20, and articulated to said base 20, in particular by means of flexible hinges 27.
- the packaging sheet 10 and the reinforcing element 2 are made of the same plastic material, such as polypropylene.
- the size of the arms 21 may vary according to the desired packaging and the size of the bouquet of flowers. Generally, the size of the arms is smaller than the dimensions of the packaging sheet 10 in such a way as to completely hide the reinforcing element 2 once the package has been formed, or even leave a superabundant part of the sheet to be shaped manually for beautify the packaging 1.
- each arm 21 is provided with a passer 22, illustrated in FIG. figure 3 , at its upper part which is intended to cooperate with at least one or both of the two clamping links 3 and 4, the two clamping links 3 and 4 being independent of one another.
- the clamping links 3, 4 can also be made of a material plastic, preferably the same as that of the packaging sheet and the reinforcing member so as to facilitate recycling.
- At least two diametrically opposed arms 21 have at their ends hooks 25 directed downwards so as to be able to hook a removable haunch 28, for example, the two gripping areas 30 and 40 forming a decorative knot.
- the two clamping links 3 and 4 said first and second clamping links, respectively pass through two orifices 23, 24 of two arms 21 that are diametrically opposed so that each clamping link 3, 4 has a gripping zone. gripping zones 30 and 40 then being diametrically opposed.
- each tightening connection 3, 4 preferably forms a loop, the gripping zone 30, 40 of the tightening links being able to form a hinge when the reinforcing element 2 is in the volume position so as to facilitate the transport of the bouquet, as illustrated in figure 8 .
- the two clamping links 3 and 4 each pass successively all or part of the loops 22 disposed on the upper part of the arms 21.
- the clamping links 3 and 4 each pass successively passers 22 diametrically opposed .
- the first tightening link 3 does not pass through the loops 22 of the arms 21 adjacent to the arm 211 receiving the orifice 23 and then passes successively through the other loops 22, and the second Tightening link 4 does not pass through the loops of the arms adjacent to the arm 210 receiving the orifice 24 and then passes successively through the other loops 21.
- the package 1 is able to pass from a flat position in which the base 20 and the arms 21 of the reinforcing element 2 are substantially in the same plane shown in FIG. figure 5 at a position in by simultaneously pulling on the two clamping links 3,4, and exerting on the gripping zones 30,40 two opposing forces F1, F2 as shown in FIG. figure 7 .
- the first link 3 passes through the loop 220 disposed on the arm 210 receiving the orifice 24 traversed by the second link 4, and the second link 4 passes through the passer 221 disposed on the arm 211 receiving the orifice 23 traversed by the first link 3.
- Such an arrangement makes it possible in particular to exert a uniform force on the arms 21 through the clamping links 3, 4 and thus a uniform volume of the packaging 1.
- the loop formed by the first clamping link 3 (or the second clamping link 4) can be obtained by tying the two ends of a link.
- the node 31 (on the right in the figure) of the first tightening link 3 encloses the passer 220 disposed on the arm 210 receiving the orifice 24 traversed by the second clamping link 4.
- the node 41 (on the left in the figure) of the second clamping link 4 encloses the passer 221 receiving the orifice 13 through which the first clamping link 3 passes.
- the parts of the arms 21 adjoining the orifices 23, 24 are preferably glued to the wrapping sheet 10, the two clamping links 3 and 4 respectively passing through two orifices of the sheet juxtaposed with the orifices 23 of the arms 210 and 211, of such way the links come out the other side of the sheet, outside the packing sheet 10.
- the orifice 23 or 24 comprises locking means 230 clamping links and thus form a same element with the orifice 23 or 24.
- These locking means 230 consist in particular of a hole-shaped in such a way as to prevent the clamping links 3 and 4 from going back.
- the reinforcing element has a first pair of orifices 23,24, diametrically opposed, and a second pair of holes 23, '24', of different dimensions. Depending on the width or the thickness of the tightening links, it will be chosen to use the most suitable orifice pair 23,24 or 23 ', 24'.
- the base 26 of each arm 21 is enlarged so that the bases 26 abut against each other in the volume position of the package 1 to form a crown in the volume position.
- Such crown allows in particular the good maintenance of the foot of the bouquet when it is placed on a flat surface, and thus allows the prevention of the perforation of the packaging sheet 10 by the stems of the flowers arranged in the package 1.
- the procedure for producing the bouquet is as follows.
- the operator a florist, for example, deposits the package 1 on a flat surface in its flat position, then grasps the gripping zones 30, 40 of the two clamping links 3,4, by its two hands.

Description
La présente invention concerne le domaine des emballages de bouquet de fleurs, et plus précisément les emballages à réserve d'eau.The present invention relates to the field of flower bouquet packaging, and more specifically water reserve packaging.
En général, de tels dispositifs d'emballage pour bouquets de fleur comprennent un film d'emballage, étanche, en matière plastique destiné à constituer une réserve d'eau, et un élément support, de renfort, bien souvent en matière plastique rigide ou semi rigide, destiné à donner sa forme à l'emballage et à permettre le maintien stable de l'emballage sur une surface horizontale. Une fois l'emballe formé, le film étanche enveloppé sur l'élément support, et la réserve d'eau constituée, une ligature permet de lier la feuille sur le support, en maintenant les tiges du bouquet.In general, such packaging devices for bouquets of flowers comprise a packaging film, waterproof, plastic material intended to form a reserve of water, and a support element, reinforcement, often made of rigid or semi-rigid plastic material. rigid, intended to give shape to the package and to allow the stable maintenance of the package on a horizontal surface. Once the pack formed, the waterproof film wrapped on the support member, and the water reserve constituted, a ligature binds the sheet on the support, maintaining the stems of the bouquet.
La mise en place d'un tel emballage requiert la réalisation de plusieurs opérations plus ou moins chronophages, à savoir la mise en place du support, la mise en place du film, une étape de mise en forme de la feuille sur le support, le remplissage de la feuille avec de l'eau, l'insertion des tiges du bouquet, puis la ligature de l'emballage ainsi constitué. Bien souvent, pour ces opérations, l'opérateur doit être aidé d'un poste de travail spécifique tel que par exemple celui divulgué dans le document
Pour remédier à ces inconvénients, le document
Un tel dispositif permet de former l'emballage en fixant le conformateur sur l'armature souple, puis en exerçant une action de traction sur la ficelle. La traction sur la ficelle permet de regrouper les branches de l'armature jusqu'à leur mise en butée sur des bras du conformateur et ainsi de former l'emballage.Such a device can form the package by fixing the shaper on the flexible frame, then exerting a pulling action on the string. The traction on the string allows the arms of the armature to be grouped until they are abutted on shaper arms and thus to form the package.
Un tel dispositif a toutefois pour inconvénient une perte de place de stockage, plusieurs pièces distinctes (l'armature souple et le conformateur) étant requises pour réaliser l'emballage. Il n'est pas possible d'obtenir la forme finale de l'emballage en utilisant uniquement la ficelle et l'armature souple, sans la présence du conformateur. Le conformateur est donc un élément essentiel du dispositif, qui de part sa rigidité et son encombrement ne facilitera pas le stockage du dispositif.Such a device however has the disadvantage of a loss of storage space, several separate parts (the flexible frame and the shaper) being required to achieve the packaging. It is not possible to obtain the final shape of the package using only the twine and the flexible reinforcement, without the presence of the shaper. The shaper is therefore an essential element of the device, which by its rigidity and its size will not facilitate the storage of the device.
Un tel dispositif nécessite toujours la réalisation de plusieurs opérations, ce qui implique une perte de temps.Such a device always requires the completion of several operations, which implies a loss of time.
Une telle solution représente donc un coût non négligeable du fait de la nécessité d'avoir plusieurs pièces à stocker et à assembler.Such a solution therefore represents a significant cost due to the need to have several parts to store and assemble.
L'invention a notamment pour objectif de pallier les différents inconvénients de ces techniques connues.The invention particularly aims to overcome the various disadvantages of these known techniques.
Plus précisément, un objectif de l'invention est, au moins dans un mode de réalisation particulier, de limiter le nombre d'opérations nécessaires à la réalisation de l'emballage.More specifically, an object of the invention is, at least in a particular embodiment, to limit the number of operations necessary for the realization of the packaging.
Un autre objectif de l'invention est, au moins dans un mode de réalisation particulier, de fournir un emballage qui soit facile à réaliser.Another object of the invention is, at least in a particular embodiment, to provide a package that is easy to make.
L'invention a également pour objectif, au moins dans un mode de réalisation particulier, de fournir un emballage qui soit facile à stocker.The invention also aims, at least in a particular embodiment, to provide a package that is easy to store.
Encore un autre objectif de l'invention est, au moins dans un mode de réalisation particulier, de fournir un emballage écologique et facilement recyclable.Yet another object of the invention is, at least in a particular embodiment, to provide an environmentally friendly and easily recyclable packaging.
Ces objectifs, ainsi que d'autres qui apparaîtront plus clairement par la suite, sont atteints selon l'invention à l'aide d'un emballage pour bouquet de fleurs, comprenant une feuille d'emballage imperméable à l'eau, destinée à constituer un réservoir d'eau, sur laquelle est collé un élément de renfort destiné à former ledit emballage, ledit élément de renfort comprenant une base autour de laquelle sont répartis, angulairement, des bras, dirigés selon des directions, notamment radiales, autour de la base, articulés à ladite base.These objectives, as well as others which will appear more clearly later, are achieved according to the invention using a package for a bouquet of flowers, comprising a waterproof packaging sheet, intended to constitute a water tank, on which is bonded a reinforcing element intended to form said package, said reinforcing element comprising a base around which angularly distributed arms, directed in directions, in particular radial, around the base articulated to said base.
Selon l'invention, lesdits bras sont pourvus de passants au niveau de leur partie supérieure, ledit emballage comprenant deux liens de serrage indépendants, dits premier lien de serrage et deuxième lien de serrage, lesdits deux liens de serrage traversant chacun successivement des passants, chaque lien de serrage présentant une zone de préhension, lesdits deux liens de serrage traversant respectivement deux orifices de deux desdits bras diamétralement opposés, de telle façon que les zones de préhension sont diamétralement opposées,
et ledit emballage peut passer d'une position à plat dans laquelle la base et les bras dudit élément de renfort sont sensiblement dans un même plan, à une position en volume en tirant simultanément sur les liens de serrage et en exerçant sur les zones de préhension deux forces de sens opposés.According to the invention, said arms are provided with loops at their upper part, said package comprising two independent clamping links, said first clamping link and second clamping link, said two clamping links each traversing successively passers-by, each clamping link having a gripping zone, said two clamping links respectively passing through two orifices of two of said diametrically opposed arms, such that the gripping zones are diametrically opposite,
and said package can move from a flat position in which the base and arms of said reinforcing member are substantially in the same plane, at a volume position by simultaneously pulling on the clamping links and exerting on the gripping areas two opposing forces of meaning.
L'invention peut, en outre, présenter les caractéristiques optionnelles suivantes :
- Selon un aspect avantageux de l'invention, ledit premier lien peut traverser l'un des passants, disposé sur le bras recevant l'orifice traversé par ledit deuxième lien, et ledit deuxième lien peut traverser un autre des passants, disposé sur le bras recevant l'orifice traversé par ledit premier lien.
- According to an advantageous aspect of the invention, said first link can pass through one of the loops, disposed on the arm receiving the orifice traversed by said second link, and said second link can pass through another passer-by, arranged on the receiving arm. the orifice traversed by said first link.
Selon une approche particulièrement simple, chaque orifice peut comprendre des moyens de blocage des liens de serrage.According to a particularly simple approach, each orifice may comprise means for locking the clamping links.
Avantageusement, les moyens de blocage peuvent former un même élément avec l'orifice.Advantageously, the blocking means can form the same element with the orifice.
Préférentiellement, les liens de serrage traversent respectivement deux orifices de la feuille juxtaposés aux orifices desdits bras.Preferably, the clamping links respectively pass through two orifices of the sheet juxtaposed with the orifices of said arms.
Selon un aspect particulier de l'invention, les bases desdits bras sont élargies de telle façon à venir en butée les unes contre les autres dans la position en volume et former une couronne, dans la position en volume du dispositif d'emballage.According to a particular aspect of the invention, the bases of said arms are enlarged so as to abut against each other in the volume position and form a ring, in the volume position of the packaging device.
Selon l'invention, chaque lien de serrage forme une boucle, la zone de préhension de chaque lien de serrage formant une hanse quand ledit emballage est en position de volume.According to the invention, each tightening link forms a loop, the gripping zone of each clamping link forming a hip when said package is in a volume position.
De manière avantageuse, ladite feuille d'emballage, ledit élément de renfort et lesdits liens de serrage sont dans une même matière plastique, notamment du polypropylène.Advantageously, said packaging sheet, said reinforcing element and said clamping ties are made of a same plastic material, in particular polypropylene.
Selon un aspect particulier de l'invention, au moins deux bras diamétralement opposés présentent à leur extrémité des crochets dirigés vers le bas.According to a particular aspect of the invention, at least two diametrically opposite arms have at their end hooks directed downwards.
Selon un mode de réalisation :
- le premier lien de serrage et le deuxième lien de serrage forment chacun une boucle,
- la boucle formée par le premier lien de serrage et la boucle formée par le deuxième lien de serrage sont chacune obtenue par le nouage des deux extrémités d'un lien,
- le noeud du premier lien de serrage enserre le passant disposé sur le bras recevant l'orifice traversé par le deuxième lien de serrage et le noeud du deuxième lien de serrage enserre le passant recevant l'orifice traversé par le premier lien de serrage.
- the first clamping link and the second clamping link each form a loop,
- the loop formed by the first clamping link and the loop formed by the second clamping link are each obtained by the knotting of the two ends of a link,
- the node of the first clamping link encloses the passer disposed on the arm receiving the orifice traversed by the second clamping link and the node of the second clamping link grips the passer receiving the orifice through which the first clamping tie.
L'invention concerne également un ensemble destiné à être suspendu verticalement et comprenant une superposition de plusieurs emballages conforme à l'invention, dans leur position à plat, ainsi qu'un dispositif de suspension destiné à maintenir les emballages mutuellement par l'intermédiaire d'un prolongement détachable de chaque feuille d'emballage.The invention also relates to an assembly intended to be suspended vertically and comprising a superposition of several packages according to the invention, in their flat position, and a suspension device for holding the packages mutually via a detachable extension of each wrapping sheet.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, la base 26 de chaque bras 21 est élargie de telle façon à ce que les bases 26 viennent en butée les unes contre les autres dans la position en volume de l'emballage 1 pour former une couronne dans la position en volume. Une telle couronne permet notamment le bon maintien du pied du bouquet lorsqu'il est posé sur une surface plane, et permet ainsi la prévention de la perforation de la feuille d'emballage 10 par les tiges des fleurs disposées dans l'emballage 1.According to one embodiment of the invention, the
Le mode opératoire à la réalisation de l'emballage du bouquet est comme suit.The procedure for producing the bouquet is as follows.
Dans un premier temps, l'opérateur, un fleuriste par exemple, dépose l'emballage 1 sur une surface plane dans sa position à plat, puis saisit les zones de préhension 30,40 des deux liens de serrage 3,4, par ses deux mains. Successivement l'opérateur tire simultanément dessus jusqu'à ce que l'emballage 1 soit dans sa position de volume et que les bases 26 élargies des bras 21 viennent en butée les unes contre les autres, formant ainsi un contenant apte à recevoir de l'eau et le bouquet de fleurs. Lors de cette traction, les bras 21 passent d'une première position dans laquelle ils sont sensiblement dans le plan de la base, vers une position dans laquelle lesdits bras 21 sont sensiblement inclinés par rapport à la base 20.At first, the operator, a florist, for example, deposits the
L'opérateur peut alors lâcher les liens de serrage 3 et 4, ceux-ci étant maintenus dans leur position par le biais des moyens de blocage 230.The operator can then release the clamping
Enfin, l'opérateur remplit l'emballage le réservoir formé par l'emballage, dispose les fleurs dans ce celui-ci et peut éventuellement façonner la partie supérieure de la feuille d'emballage 10 de telle manière à rendre l'emballage 1 plus esthétique.Finally, the operator fills the packaging the tank formed by the package, arranges the flowers in this one and can possibly shaping the upper portion of the
L'invention concerne également un ensemble destiné à être suspendu verticalement, illustré à la
Un tel ensemble peut être suspendu à des barres de rayonnage. Il suffit de tirer sur un des emballages pour que celui se détache de l'ensemble.Such an assembly can be suspended from rack bars. Just pull on one of the packaging to make it stand out.
Naturellement, d'autres modes de réalisation auraient pu être envisagés par l'homme du métier sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention définie par les revendications ci-après.Naturally, other embodiments could have been envisaged by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the claims below.
