Definitions
- the field of the invention is that of logistics.
- the invention relates to a package, or a means of logistical packaging, that is to say a container, for the transport of objects between two destinations, by means of a package.
- packages such as boxes or cartons are known.
- packages include a case having a bottom and a peripheral rim which together define an internal volume in which the object to be transported is housed.
- the peripheral rim can be movable relative to the bottom of the body. As such, it includes several folding panels on the bottom or in the extension of the bottom of the body.
- the packages also include a movable cover relative to the cash register. These lids can in particular adopt a closed position in which the lid closes the internal volume of the box.
- some packages In order to protect the objects transported, some packages include retaining means to keep the object to be transported in the crate.
- Retaining means which take the form of foam panels integrated into the body and the cover. Foam panels can be returned to the checkout if required. In other words, foam panels can be integrated into the body only if their presence is required.
- the foam panels are secured to the bottom of the box, possibly to its peripheral edge, and to the cover.
- the object to be transported is then inserted into the internal volume so as to come into contact with the foam and to be blocked at least by the foam of the bottom and the foam of the cover.
- This type of retaining means has the major drawback of its thickness, or, in other words, the space it occupies in the internal volume of the body.
- the foam takes up a major part of the internal volume of the body.
- the foam has elastic characteristics so as to form deformable retaining means to conform to the contour of the object to be transported.
- the same crate cannot be used.
- the foam is not deformed suitably in contact with the small object, and the latter can then move in the internal volume of the body at the risk of being damaged.
- the package may become unusable for lack of insufficient space in the internal volume, the cover therefore not being able to not be closed properly so as to actually block the internal volume of the body.
- the object is not really protected and is visible to anyone carrying the package, which could lead to a risk of theft of the object.
- Transporters or packaging professionals must therefore have packages of different sizes depending on the size of the objects to be transported.
- the presence of the foam makes the package bulky when not in use, even if the package is foldable to bring it into a storage or "flat" storage configuration.
- folding the package optimizes its size when not in use.
- the compression of the foam when folding the device can affect the effectiveness of the foam in protecting the object to be transported.
- foam When foam is compressed, it loses elasticity, and may not expand properly upon decompression; this is especially true as the duration of compression of the foam is important.
- Transporters or packaging professionals must, therefore, benefit from a large room allowing the storage of packages either in their configuration of use, or partially folded, or separated, that is to say that the foam is separate from the cash register for the different package sizes. This then represents a significant storage cost which is generally charged to the end consumer.
- the retaining means are in the form of a plastic envelope inside which the object to be transported is slipped, the envelope is then deformed so that its walls come into contact with the object to be transported and keep it in its position.
- the envelopes can be secured to the bottom of the body and their deformation can be carried out for example by heating so as to retract the material, generally a plastic material, so that it becomes rigid in contact with the. object.
- a drawback of this solution lies in the fact that the deformation of the envelope, when it is carried out by heating, cannot be carried out by everyone since this technique involves the use of specific heating equipment.
- heating means such as heaters for example, must be used and may require special training so that only professionals can deform the envelope.
- inserting the object to be transported into the enclosure can be difficult, if not impossible.
- the envelope can also be integral with a tray intended to be housed in the box.
- the object is introduced inside the envelope then, in order to secure and hold the object, the envelope is deformed by folding the edges of the plate, so as to tension the two walls of the envelope to trap the object.
- the folded up tray can be inserted into the crate and then the movable cover can be closed on the crate.
- the insertion of the object in the envelope does not pose a problem, however the deformation of the plate, in particular the folding of its edges represents a complicated manipulation, even impossible to achieve when the object is bulky and the The envelope to be deformed offers high resistance to deformation.
- the deformation of the envelope can then become time-consuming and put off the professionals who will then make a partial deformation or even offer a larger package resulting in a higher transport cost for the end consumer.
- the object of the invention is in particular to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art. More precisely, the invention aims to provide a package provided with easy-to-use retaining means and allowing the transport of an object in complete safety.
- Another object of the invention is to provide such a package which, when not in use, has a small footprint so as to limit the storage space for several packages.
- the invention further aims to provide such a package suitable for both transporting bulky objects and very small objects, in complete safety.
- the package also comprising a cover rotatably mounted on a bearing side of the peripheral rim around a first axis of rotation, and which can adopt:
- the package further comprising retaining means for keeping an object to be transported in the box,
- the retaining means comprise a frame mounted for rotation on the carrying side of the peripheral rim in the vicinity of the bottom of the body, about a second axis of rotation in line with the first axis of rotation of the cover on the body, the framework being able to adopt:
- the retaining means also comprising elastically deformable means extending inside the frame, and a connecting rod between the frame and the cover, the connecting rod being rotatably mounted on the cover and on the frame, the connecting rod, the cover, the bearing side of the peripheral flange and the frame together forming a parallelogram
- Such a package makes it possible to transport objects of different sizes in complete safety while limiting its size when not in use.
- the deformation of the elastically deformable means makes it possible both to obtain a large enveloping surface of the object but also a small thickness when the package is not in use.
- the elastically deformable means can thus be kept in the body without occupying an important place there.
- the use of a deformable parallelogram makes it possible to make the retaining means automatic in that, when the cover is brought to its closed position, the frame and connecting rod force the elastically deformable means to deform in order to cover the transported object and press it against the bottom of the body.
- the frame comprises two side members parallel to each other and a cross member joining the two side members opposite the load-bearing side of the peripheral rim.
- Such a framework is simple in design and manufacture.
- this frame offers good resistance to deformation, to the benefit of maintaining the object against the bottom of the body.
- the cross member and the connecting rod form a one-piece assembly.
- the main advantage of this one-piece assembly is to increase the rigidity of the frame, and therefore the retention of an object in the body.
- the connecting rod is in the form of a flat panel.
- a flat panel allows a homogeneous distribution of the forces applied to the cover on the frame.
- the elastically deformable means can adapt to all forms of objects to be transported, or almost, since the panel forming the connecting rod prevents the frame from deforming according to the shape of the object contained in the package.
- the peripheral edge comprises four panels butted together and opposed in pairs.
- the peripheral border can thus adopt a rectangular, square or trapezoidal shape to contain objects of different shapes. Furthermore, the use of separate panels, one of which forms the load-bearing side of the peripheral edge, allows that in the event of maintenance, only one of the panels is changed.
- each panel of the peripheral border can adopt:
- the package when the package is not intended for use, it can be folded up to reduce its bulk, and stored.
- the box comprises means for locking the panels in their position of use.
- These locking means allow the panels to remain in their position of use when the box is formed, in particular to allow the insertion of the object to be transported in the box.
- the elastically deformable means are in the form of an elastic fabric.
- the fabric is thin and allows the folded package to be particularly compact.
- the package comprises means for maintaining the cover in the closed position.
- the means for holding the lid in the closed position can also serve as elements for verifying the inviolability of the package during transport.
- the means for maintaining the cover in the closed position comprise, for example:
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view from above of a package according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view from above of the package according to the invention, in a folded configuration
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view from above of the package according to the invention, according to a first shaping step
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view from above of the package according to the invention, according to a second shaping step
- FIG. 5 is a top perspective view of the package according to the invention, according to a third shaping step
- FIG. 6 is a perspective view from above of the package according to the invention, according to a fourth shaping step
- FIG. 7 a perspective view from below of means for retaining an object, for the package according to the invention.
- FIG. 8 is a schematic representation in longitudinal section of the package according to the invention, in which no object is inserted;
- FIG. 9 is a longitudinal sectional representation of the package according to the invention, in which an object is inserted and retained.
- a package 1 according to the invention is shown.
- Package 1 includes:
- the cover 3 is rotatably mounted on the body 2 around a first axis of rotation A.
- the cover 3 can then adopt:
- the body 2 and the cover 3 are made of a robust material, in particular having characteristics of resistance to deformation and to impact.
- a light and resistant material such as expanded polypropylene can be used.
- a composite material that can be used includes a woven backing as well as a plastic resin.
- Package 1 is thus reusable and resistant to the vagaries of use, in particular to the shocks to which it is subjected. This limits its impact on the environment, particularly with regard to waste.
- the package 1 can be reused immediately for sending another object 5 or returned to a carrier who will reuse it.
- the costs and pollution associated with recycling the package 1 are limited at its end of life, that is to say when the package 1 is too damaged to allow the transport of an object 5 in complete safety, or when a predetermined number of routing cycles is reached.
- a conventional packaging made entirely of cardboard, or almost, is generally destroyed and recycled as soon as it is finished.
- the package 1 according to the invention can be used several times before being recycled.
- Box 2 includes:
- the box 2 is advantageously folding.
- peripheral rim 22 is movable relative to the bottom 21 and can adopt:
- the peripheral rim 22 has a parallelepiped shape which defines an access opening 24 to the internal volume 23 of the box 2.
- the bottom 21 can have a cavity intended to receive an object 5, of small size.
- the cavity may further have a base having an adherent surface.
- peripheral rim 22 comprises four panels butted together and opposed in pairs, including:
- the peripheral rim 22 comprises a first side panel 223a, and a second side panel 223b.
- the rear panel 222 and the front panel 221 are opposed to each other with respect to the bottom 21.
- first side panel 223a and the second side panel 223b are also opposed to each other with respect to the bottom 21 and each connect the front panel 221 to the rear panel 223.
- one of the front panel 221, the rear panel 222, and the side panels 223 forms a load-bearing side of the peripheral rim 22.
- the load-bearing side is formed by the rear panel 222.
- Each of the front panel 221, the rear panel 222 and the side panels 223 is hinged with respect to the bottom 21 of the body 2.
- the front panel 221, the rear panel 222 and the side panels 223 can pivot relative to the bottom 21 to allow the peripheral rim 22 to assume its use position or its storage position.
- each of the front panel 221, the rear panel 222 and the side panels 223 can adopt:
- Each of the front panel 221, the rear panel 222 and the side panels 223 is independent of the others, and can therefore adopt its storage position or its position of use independently of the others.
- the peripheral rim 22, the bottom 21 and the cover 3 are formed integrally, for example from expanded polypropylene.
- the pivots between the different elements of the package 1 is made by a thin thickness of material which acts as a hinge.
- each of the elements of the package 1 can be manufactured independently, and assembled to another element by a conventionally known hinge.
- the box 2 also includes means for locking the panels of the peripheral rim 22 in their position. of use.
- the locking means advantageously belong to the following group:
- each side panel 223 includes a hook projecting from the side panel 223.
- the hook thus leaves a space with a rim of the side panel 223, this space being intended to receive the front panel 221. or the rear panel 222.
- Each hook is elastically deformable so that when the front panel
- each hook 221 and the rear panel 222 are shaped, they elastically deform each hook to come into contact with a flange of a side panel 223. Each hook then recovers its initial shape to hold the front panel 221 and the rear panel
- the locking means 225 may take the form of tabs integral with the front panel 221 and the rear panel 222. These tabs are intended to be housed in slots made in the side panels 223. The cooperation between the tabs and the slots is advantageously tightened so that, when the tabs are inserted into the slots, it is necessary to exert a significant tensile force on the front panel 221 and the rear panel 222 to release the tabs from the slots.
- an insert such as a pin or a stud, is inserted into openings made on the side panel 223, the front panel 221 and the rear panel 222.
- the front panel 221 and rear panel 222, or side panels 223 have returns intended to overlap side panels 223, or front panel 221 and rear panel 222 respectively. The returns then present the opening intended to receive the attached organ.
- the attached member may include a central portion intended to pass through the openings of the panels, and two foldable stops, each located on either side of the central portion.
- the blocking in the form of the peripheral rim 22 is then done by inserting the central part of the attached members in the openings of the panels, then folding the foldable stops so that the panels of the peripheral rim are sandwiched between the two foldable stops of the organ reported.
- each panel of the peripheral rim 22 is provided with a magnet.
- the front panel 221 and the rear panel 222, or the side panels 223 advantageously have returns intended to overlap the side panels 223, or the front panel 221 and the rear panel 222 respectively.
- the returns then each carry a magnet intended to cooperate with another opposite magnet.
- the magnets are coupled in pairs with reversed polarity.
- the side panel magnets 223, for example have negative polarity
- the front panel 221 and rear panel magnets 222 then have positive polarity, or vice versa.
- the side panels 223 have a lug projecting from each flange oriented towards the front panel 221 and the rear panel 222.
- the front panel 221 and the rear panel 222 then have hooks each intended to cooperate with an ear.
- Inserting an ear into a corresponding hook then causes the elastic deformation of the ear which, in seeking to recover its undeformed state, exerts a force on the hook. This then causes the panels to be held in position relative to one another, and therefore to the peripheral rim 22 being held in position for use.
- the box 2 further includes an electronic dialogue interface 25 allowing a user to interact with the package 1.
- the electronic dialogue interface 25 is connected on the one hand to the means for controlling the closed position of the cover 3, and on the other hand to a communication network for communicating with the latter.
- the electronic dialogue interface 25 comprises communication means (not shown) for communicating with the communication network and more precisely with servers, as well as a communication device allowing the user to interact with the user. package 1.
- the electronic dialogue interface 25 comprises an intelligent panel (not illustrated) intended to allow communication between the various elements, that is to say the electronic dialogue interface 25, the position control means. closed cover 3 and the remote server.
- the retaining means 4, illustrated in FIG. 7, comprise:
- the frame 41 is mounted for rotation, around a second axis of rotation B, on the carrying side of the peripheral rim 22, that is to say on the rear panel 222, in the vicinity of the bottom 21 of the cash register 2.
- the second axis of rotation B is located directly above the first axis of rotation A.
- the framework can thus adopt:
- a handling position in which the frame is moved away from the bottom of the body.
- the rotation of the frame 41 relative to the rear panel 222 is in particular carried out by ad hoc means 6 such as for example a ring, a hook, a pin or else an elastic.
- the frame 41 comprises two side members 411 parallel to each other, including a first side member 411a and a second side member 411b, as well as a cross member 412 disposed between the side members 411.
- the crossmember 412 is mounted articulated with respect to the side members 411 opposite the load-bearing side of the peripheral flange 22 on which the frame 41 is rotatably mounted.
- the connecting rod 43 is rotatably mounted on both the frame 41 and the cover 3.
- the connecting rod 43 is in one piece with the cross member 412.
- the connecting rod 43 and the cross member 412 form a single piece.
- the connecting rod 43 is in the form of a flat panel, a first end of which is rotatably mounted on the cover 3, and a second end, forming the cross member 412, is rotatably mounted on the frame 41, and more particularly on each side members 411.
- the cover 3, the rear panel 222 (ie the carrying side of the peripheral rim 22), the frame 41 and the connecting rod 43 thus form a deformable parallelogram.
- This deformable parallelogram is particularly advantageous when using package 1, as explained below.
- the elastically deformable means 42 are advantageously in the form of an elastic fabric.
- the main advantage of this elastic fabric is that it covers the entire object 5 when the card 41 is in its retaining position.
- the elastic fabric By completely covering the object 5, the elastic fabric applies a force to the entire object, this force tending to press the object against the bottom 21 of the box 2 and therefore to immobilize it.
- the package also comprises means 7 for maintaining the cover 3 in the closed position (visible in FIG. 1).
- the collar 73 can thus form visual means to verify the integrity of the package 1 and in particular that the latter has not been opened during transport.
- a user formats package 1 from its storage configuration, as illustrated in Figures 2 to 6.
- the front panel 221 is folded over the side panels 223;
- the rear panel 222 extends substantially in the extension of the bottom 21 of the body
- the cover 3 is folded over the rear panel 222 and the side panels 223, and
- the frame 41 and the connecting rod 43 are substantially coplanar and located above the side panels 223 and below the front panel 221 and the cover 3.
- the shaping of the package 1 is done according to the steps described below.
- This manipulation has the effect of deforming the deformable parallelogram so that the frame 41 is substantially parallel to the cover 3, and the connecting rod 43 substantially parallel to the rear panel 222. More precisely, the frame 41 is then flattened, or almost, against the panel. rear 222 and cover 3.
- a fourth step, illustrated in Figure 6 the user places the rear panel 222 in its position of use and places the cover 3 in its closed position.
- the elastic fabric deforms on contact with the object 5 and exerts a force on the latter to press it against the bottom 21 of the body 2.
- the object 5 is maintained during its transport and does not risk degrading.
- the manipulation of the cover 3 causes the deformation of the deformable parallelogram.
- its manipulation to place it in its open position causes the passage of the frame 41 from its retaining position to its handling position by the connecting rod 43.
- the elastically deformable means 42 are deformed by an object 5, and more precisely stretched over the object 5, then the passage of the frame 41 from its retaining position to its handling position causes the relaxation of the elastically deformable means 42 and therefore the release of the object 5.
- the elastically deformable means 42 are then deformed by the object 5, and more precisely stretched over the object 5, to press it against the bottom 21 of the body 2 and hold it during its transport.
- the bottom 21 of the box may have an adherent coating making it possible to increase the capacity for holding the object in position in the box 2.
- the package 1 according to the invention therefore provides support for the object 5 to be transported in a safe and automatic manner.
- the user can extract the object 5 from the package just as easily, that is to say simply by placing the cover 3 in its open position. In this position of the cover 3, the retaining means 4 no longer act on the object 5.
