Abstract

Pack with a base formed with integral pillars or ribs to hold and separate a gp. of eggs, fruits or other fragile articles is provided with an ancillary cover comprising a flat top with oblique panels on two opposed edges which end in stepped borders to engage individual slots or pockets along the respective borders of the base. The crown of the cover is opt. perforated and/or printed or covered with informative or decorative patterns or characters. The clearance between the cover and the items supported by the base is insufficient to allow the items to shift from their respective locations in the base. The cover is strong enough to permit stacking, offers more scope for displaying labels etc. than covers profiled to positively enclose and separate the upper parts of each item supported by the lower tray, and allows the contents to be inspected, from the sides on which the lid does not have oblique panels and/or through perforations in the cover. The pack base and lid are made from conventional materials, e.g. formed pulp or thermoplastic sheet, opt. are enclosed overall by a (transparent) flexible film.

Description

Le conditionnement d'oeufs s'effectue actuellement par plateaux ou par boîtes ; les plateaux sont généralement en cellulose moulée avec un nombre d'alvéoles assez élevé pouvant recevoir jusqu'3 trente oeufs et plus. Les oeufs sont disposés dans les alvéoles et on peut superposer plusieurs plateaux chargés en superposant les fonds des alvéoles d'un plateau avec les sommets des alvéoles du plateau inférieur ce qui revient a utiliser les plateaux successifs par retournement, ou par pivotement à 900 (en effet les plateaux sont établis en carré comportant selon une direction, des rangées d'alvéoles complètes, tandis que selon la direction perpendiculaire les rangées sont terminées par une demi-alvéole à chaque extrémité, ce qui produit un décalage d'une demi-alvéole entre les positions des rangées dans une direction et dans la direction perpendiculaire). Egg packaging is currently carried out in trays or boxes; the trays are generally made of molded cellulose with a fairly high number of cells which can receive up to thirty and more eggs. The eggs are placed in the cells and several loaded trays can be superimposed by superimposing the bottoms of the cells of a tray with the tops of the cells of the lower tray, which amounts to using the successive trays by inversion, or by pivoting at 900 (in in effect the trays are established in a square comprising in one direction, rows of complete cells, while in the perpendicular direction the rows are terminated by a half-cell at each end, which produces a shift of a half-cell between the positions of the rows in one direction and in the perpendicular direction).

L'emballage en boîte est généralement un emballage pour un petit nombre d'oeufs (6 ou 12). Les boîtes comportent généralement un fond alvéolé de profondeur inférieure à la hauteur des oeufs et un couvercle qui est lui-meme moulé ; il existe également des boîtes profondes, à fond alvéolé,comportant un couvercle plat et généralement imprimé. Box packaging is generally packaging for a small number of eggs (6 or 12). The boxes generally have a honeycomb bottom with a depth less than the height of the eggs and a cover which is itself molded; there are also deep boxes, with a honeycomb bottom, comprising a flat cover and generally printed.

Dans la vente des oeufs au détail, il est important que l'emballage offre des surfaces publicitaires et que cependant le coût de l'emballage reste très réduit. L'emballage par plateaux convient à la vente en gros mais n' est guère utilisé dans la vente au détail sauf sous forme de deux plateaux moulés enserrant une rangée d'oeufs, recouverts d'une enveloppe plastique souple transparente inviolable avec interposition d'une feuille publicitaire. In the retail sale of eggs, it is important that the packaging offers advertising space and that, however, the cost of packaging remains very low. The packaging by trays is suitable for wholesale but is hardly used in retail except in the form of two molded trays enclosing a row of eggs, covered with a transparent transparent flexible plastic envelope with the interposition of a advertising sheet.

Mais cet emballage, de même que la plupart des emballages d'oeufs au détail à l'inconvénient de ne pas permettre à l'acheteur l'examen des oeufs pris individuellement ce qui est très important. However, this packaging, like most retail egg packaging, has the disadvantage of not allowing the buyer to examine the eggs individually which is very important.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, on a réalisé des boîtes plastiques transparentes avec publicité sur le couvercle. Mais ces boîtes sont d'un coût élevé. To overcome this drawback, transparent plastic boxes have been produced with advertising on the cover. But these boxes are expensive.

Le but de la présente invention est la réalisation d'un conditionnement d'oeufs ou autres produits d'un coût particulièrement peu élevé et qui permette l'examen individuel des oeufs, offre une surface 'publicitaire et constitue un emballage dit inviolable (c'est-à-dire avec une pellicule de film souple transparent tendu autour de l'emballage et soudé). The object of the present invention is the production of a packaging of eggs or other products of a particularly low cost and which allows individual examination of the eggs, offers an advertising surface and constitutes a so-called tamper-proof packaging (it i.e. with a transparent flexible film film stretched around the packaging and sealed).

L'emballage selon l'invention est constitué par la combinaison d'un plateau moulé à alvéoles avec un couvercle carton (ou autre matière rigide) plié, formé d'une surface plane couvrant les alvéoles complètes et de deux rabats à bords découpés en dents ou créneaux d'entraxe égal à lten- traxe des alvéoles et de largeur permettant leur introduction dans les demi-alvéoles latérales du plateau, la longueur de ces rabats et de leurs dents étant déterminée en fonction du calibrage des oeufs de façon que la surface plane maintienne les oeufs sans les écraser. The packaging according to the invention consists of the combination of a molded tray with cells with a folded cardboard (or other rigid material) cover, formed by a flat surface covering the complete cells and by two flaps with edges cut into teeth. or slots with a center distance equal to the center of the cells and of width allowing their introduction into the lateral half-cells of the tray, the length of these flaps and their teeth being determined according to the size of the eggs so that the flat surface hold the eggs without crushing them.

De préférence, ltensemble ainsi constitué est complété par une enveloppe transparente souple soudée assurant à la foi l'inviolabilité et la fixation du couvercle. Preferably, the assembly thus formed is completed by a welded flexible transparent envelope ensuring, in faith, the inviolability and the fixing of the cover.

Toutefois, le couvercle peut être fixé par la coopération de moyens de retenue portés par les dents du couvercle avec des encoches ou fentes portées par les demi-alvéoles du plateau moulé. However, the cover can be fixed by the cooperation of retaining means carried by the teeth of the cover with notches or slots carried by the half-cells of the molded tray.

Les oeufs placés dans un tel emballage sont visibles latéralement par l'acheteur qui peut contrôler leur état. The eggs placed in such packaging are visible from the side by the buyer who can check their condition.

Toutefois l'invention prévoit également que la surface plane supérieure comporte des ouvertures, échancrures ou opercules permettant un examen également facile de chacun des oeufs.However, the invention also provides that the upper flat surface has openings, notches or lids allowing equally easy examination of each of the eggs.

L'invention est illustrée par le dessin annexé sur lequel
La figure 1 est une vue perspective d'un emballage selon l'invention ;
La figure 2 est une vue du couvercle de l'emballage de la figure 1, à plat
Les figures 3 et 4 sont des coupes verticales selon
A-A et B-B de la figure 1.
The invention is illustrated by the appended drawing in which
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a package according to the invention;
Figure 2 is a view of the cover of the packaging of Figure 1, flat
Figures 3 and 4 are vertical sections along
AA and BB of figure 1.

En se reportant à ces figures, on voit que ltembal- lage selon l'invention se compose de la combinaison d'un fond moulé 1 du type plateau à alvéoles moulées 10 avec un couvercle 2 découpé dans une feuille plane relativement ;rigide, par exemple en carton, et pliée en 3 et'4 de facon à former les rabats 5 et 6. Les bords des rabats 5 et 6 sont découpés en créneaux de façon à former des dents 7 de même entraxe, position et forme générale que les alvéoles 8 de demi-largeur qui bordent le plateau sur les côtés 9 (alors que sur les côtés 11 le plateau comporte des alvéoles complètes) les demi-alvéoles se trouvant en 12 sur la face opposée). Referring to these figures, it can be seen that the packaging according to the invention consists of the combination of a molded bottom 1 of the molded tray type 10 with a cover 2 cut from a relatively flat sheet; rigid, for example made of cardboard, and folded in 3 and 4 to form the flaps 5 and 6. The edges of the flaps 5 and 6 are cut into slots so as to form teeth 7 with the same center distance, position and general shape as the cells 8 of half-width which border the plate on the sides 9 (whereas on the sides 11 the plate comprises complete cells) the half-cells being in 12 on the opposite face).

De préférence, la dimension des rabats 5 et 6 est choisie d'après le calibrage des oeufs de façon qu'ils soient calés par le couvercle 2 mais non écrasés ; de préférence également cette dimension est choisie de telle sorte que les rabats s'appuient sur les flancs 13 des pyramides séparant les alvéoles, afin que le couvercle mis en place soit bien fixe. Preferably, the size of the flaps 5 and 6 is chosen according to the calibration of the eggs so that they are wedged by the cover 2 but not crushed; preferably also this dimension is chosen so that the flaps are supported on the sides 13 of the pyramids separating the cells, so that the cover in place is well fixed.

Comme on le voit figure 1, les oeufs 14 sont visibles latéralement et le couvercle 2 constitue une surface publicitaire idéale puisqu'il s'agit d'une feuille plane avec marque de pliage, ce qui permet toutes formes d'impression par moyens classiques. Pour augmenter la visibilité des oeufs 14, l'inventio-n prévoit des perforations ou opercules I5 sur le couvercle 2, placés entre les positions des oeufs. As seen in Figure 1, the eggs 14 are visible laterally and the cover 2 constitutes an ideal advertising surface since it is a flat sheet with fold mark, which allows all forms of printing by conventional means. To increase the visibility of the eggs 14, the inventio-n provides perforations or lids I5 on the cover 2, placed between the positions of the eggs.

L'ensemble est de préférence enfermé et enserré-dans une pellicule souple transparente I6 qui donne un emballage inviolable et une parfaite visibilité tant des oeufs que des publicités portées par le couvercle 2. The assembly is preferably enclosed and enclosed in a transparent flexible film I6 which gives an inviolable packaging and perfect visibility both of the eggs and of the advertisements carried by the cover 2.

On peut également munir les dents 7 soit sur les côtés soit à leur extrémité, de redents venant se clipser dans des fentes ou encoches moulées dans les demi-alvéoles 8 du plateau 1. The teeth 7 can also be provided, either on the sides or at their ends, with recesses which clip into slots or notches molded in the half-cells 8 of the plate 1.

L'exemple représenté se rapporte à un emballage de conditionnement de 12 oeufs. Mais l'invention n'est pas limitée à cet exemple et l'emballage peut être prévu pour 6 oeufs ou 24 oeufs ou d'autres nombres. The example shown relates to a packaging for 12 eggs. However, the invention is not limited to this example and the packaging can be provided for 6 eggs or 24 eggs or other numbers.

Un tel emballage est d'un prix particulièrement peu onéreux : en effet, le coût du couvercle 2 est en lui-même inférieur à celui d'un plateau moulé 1, a fortiori de toute autre forme de couvercle moulé. Mais en outre il offre l'avantage de la visibilité des oeufs et du support publicitaire. Enfin il est particulièrement peu encombrant au transport et au stockage et facile à mettre en oeuvre, à manipuler et à distri buer.  Such packaging is of a particularly inexpensive price: in fact, the cost of the cover 2 is in itself lower than that of a molded tray 1, a fortiori of any other form of molded cover. But in addition it offers the advantage of the visibility of the eggs and the advertising medium. Finally, it is particularly space-saving in transport and storage and easy to implement, to handle and to distribute.

t'cmballaae selon l'invention peut également être réalisé avec des matiè-res relativement riches et constituer un présentoir de prestige . A cet effet on pourra employer pour le couvercle des matériaux plus nobles et coûteux tels que, par exemple, un carton ondulé à microcannelures, un carton compact à revêtement plastique, ou réaliser le couvercle en matière plastique. t'cmballaae according to the invention can also be made with relatively rich materials and constitute a prestigious display. For this purpose, it will be possible to use more noble and expensive materials for the cover such as, for example, corrugated cardboard with micro-grooves, a compact cardboard with plastic coating, or to make the cover of plastic material.

Dans la description qui précède l'emballage a été décrit en rapport avec le conditionnement des oeufs. Mais cet emballage peut être utilisé au conditionnement d'autres produits tels qüe des fruits, des balles de tennis ou de golf, des produits de verrerie ou de faiencerie, des objets précieux ou fragiles.  In the above description, the packaging has been described in connection with the packaging of the eggs. However, this packaging can be used for packaging other products such as fruit, tennis or golf balls, glassware or earthenware products, precious or fragile objects.
