“SUPORTE PARA LATAS 1 MODELO SEMI -ACABADO EM CARTÃO PARA A SUA REALIZAÇÃO”"SUPPORT FOR CANS 1 MODEL SEMI -FABRICATED IN CARD FOR ITS ACCOMPLISHMENT"
Campo da invenção A presente invenção diz respeito a um suporte em cartão, de preferência cartão canelado, para manter coeso um conjunto de latas geralmente cilíndricas dispostas em uma ou várias fileiras e que possui uma parte superior inclinada e uma tampa superior com um aro circular saliente. O suporte é produzido a partir de um modelo semi-acabado plano que possui, para cada lata que se pretende que o suporte mantenha coeso, duas fendas opostas entre si e essencialmente arqueadas, cujos rebordos exteriores engatam por baixo do aro das latas quando o suporte é montado sobre o conjunto de latas para unir o suporte e as latas e formar uma embalagem acabada e coesa. A invenção também diz respeito a um modelo plano semi-acabado feito de cartão para um suporte para latas.Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a carton, preferably corrugated carton, for holding together a set of generally cylindrical cans disposed in one or more rows and having a sloping top and an upper cover with a protruding circular ring . The carrier is produced from a flat semi-finished model having, for each can that the carrier is intended to hold cohesive, two opposing and essentially arcuate slots, the outer edges of which engage under the rim of the cans when the carrier is mounted on the can assembly to join the carrier and the cans and form a finished and cohesive package. The invention also relates to a flat semi-finished model made of carton for a can holder.
Antecedentes da invençãoBackground of the invention
As latas cilíndricas são utilizadas na indústria de bebidas, tais como água mineral, cerveja e refrigerantes. Para transportar um conjunto de latas são utilizadas embalagens acabadas e coesas que podem conter entre duas e dez latas. Até ao momento presente, têm sido utilizados muitos tipos diferentes de embalagens acabadas que permitem, por exemplo, que um consumidor levante e manipule um conjunto de latas.Cylindrical cans are used in the beverage industry, such as bottled water, beer and soft drinks. In order to transport a set of cans, finished and cohesive packagings can be used which may contain between two and ten cans. To date, many different types of finished packages have been used which, for example, enable a consumer to lift and handle a set of cans.
Para as embalagens acabadas são utilizados materiais plásticos, v.g., sob a forma de invólucros de película de plástico aplicados em torno das latas embaladas, ou sob a forma de aros de plástico unidos entre si que são aplicados em torno das latas. No entanto, estas embalagens acabadas e coesas são dispendiosas e originam problemas ambientais. Por esse motivo, foram introduzidos outros 1 tipos de suportes para latas, feitos de cartão, apresentando simultaneamente vantagens ambientais e comerciais. Como embalagens acabadas e coesas também têm sido utilizadas combinações de materiais de plástico e cartão.For the finished packages, plastic materials are used, e.g., in the form of plastic film wrappers applied around the packed cans, or in the form of plastic rims joined together which are applied around the cans. However, these finished and cohesive packages are expensive and cause environmental problems. For this reason, other types of carton holders, made of cardboard, have been introduced, with both environmental and commercial advantages. Combinations of plastic and carton materials have also been used as finished and cohesive packages.
Tomando em consideração a utilização exaustiva de embalagens acabadas para bebidas e a grande quantidade de latas comercializadas nestas embalagens ou suportes, o custo de cada embalagem individual, incluindo os custos dos materiais e também os de montagem, ê um factor importante na determinação do preço da embalagem vendida no mercado. Assim sendo, as variações relativamente pequenas nos custos das embalagens acabadas são muito importantes. Além disso, é importante que o conteúdo das embalagens seja facilmente visível e possa ser identificado na embalagem acabada. Há um tipo de suporte de cartão com o aspecto de uma flâmula ou das chamadas cintas envolventes que são aplicadas em torno do conjunto de latas que se utiliza frequentemente, estando descrito, por exemplo, no documento US-A-3 194 476. Este suporte em forma de cinta envolvente é dispendioso e também é de difícil aplicação em torno das latas numa linha de produção a trabalhar continuamente. Um outro inconveniente reside no facto de o consumidor não conseguir identificar facilmente o conteúdo da embalagem. Hã outros tipos conhecidos de suportes feitos de cartão adaptáveis para aplicação contra a face superior do conjunto de recipientes e que permitem mantê-los coesos. Há um suporte deste tipo descrito, por exemplo, no documento US-A-3 094 210. Esse suporte é produzido a partir de um modelo de cartão plano semi-acabado em cartão que possui duas fendas opostas em forma de U para cada recipiente que irã ficar imobilizado no suporte. 0 modelo plano semiacabado é montado sobre o grupo de recipientes, dobrando para baixo os aros laterais sobre a superfície lateral do recipiente, de tal modo que os rebordos exteriores das fendas existentes no i <5ivnr*ir*t: ¢=- pnrt^bojn nr ^ -'tr ----- ^ — ^ ir'' entanto, para se evitar que os rebordos das fendas se soltem do respaldo, devido a movimentos mútuos entre os recipientes, convém 2 aplicar um suporte correspondente suplementar na parte do fundo dos recipientes. 0 suporte descrito antes é desvantajoso na medida em que serve apenas para uma única fileira de recipientes e é dispendioso devido aos custos do material e a uma montagem mais complicada de um suporte duplo. Um outro inconveniente reside no facto de os aros laterais do suporte que se projectam para baixo ao longo da superfície lateral dos recipientes poderem facilmente ficar presos a uma embalagem acabada adjacente ou a qualquer outro componente, de modo a que os aros sejam empurrados para cima e os rebordos das fendas desengatem do respaldo do recipiente. Há um suporte semelhante para latas que vem descrito no documento EP-B-0496807. O suporte é constituído por duas fendas arqueadas opostas para cada lata e por incisões curtas que se desenvolvem radialmente a partir das referidas fendas. Há um conjunto de abas, formadas entre as incisões, que engatam por baixo da gola saliente das latas. Há asas de preensão em cada lado do suporte, adaptadas para serem dobradas quando um suporte com as latas é agarrado e levantado pelo utilizador. Verificou-se que tal suporte é insuficiente para suportar as latas em segurança, em especial quando são aplicadas forças para levantar o suporte nos encaixes de preensão nos lados do suporte. O suporte possui uma linha de dobragem disposta centralmente que vai servir de “charneira” quando são aplicadas forças elevatórias nos encaixes de preensão nos lados opostos do suporte, de tal modo que as latas são separadas e têm tendência para se soltarem do suporte. Além disso, as abas laterais são forçadas pelas forças elevatórias num sentido vertical, aumentando assim ainda mais o risco de o suporte se soltar das latas.Taking into account the exhaustive use of finished beverage packaging and the large quantity of cans marketed in these packages or media, the cost of each individual packaging, including material costs and assembly costs, is an important factor in determining the price of packaging sold on the market. Therefore, the relatively small variations in the costs of finished packages are very important. In addition, it is important that the contents of the packages are easily visible and can be identified on the finished packaging. There is a type of carton having the appearance of a streamer or of the so-called wraparound straps which are applied around the set of cans which is frequently used, being described, for example, in US-A-3 194 476. This carrier in the form of a wraparound tape is expensive and is also difficult to be applied around the cans in a continuously working production line. Another drawback is that the consumer is not able to easily identify the contents of the package. There are other known types of holders made of adaptable cartons for application against the upper face of the container assembly and which allow them to be held together. Such a carrier is described, for example, in US-A-3 094 210. Such a carrier is produced from a flat semi-finished carton model having two U-shaped opposing slots for each container which will be immobilized on the stand. The semi-finished flat model is mounted on the group of containers, folding down the side hoops on the side surface of the container, such that the outer edges of the slots existing in the container, However, in order to prevent the edges of the slots from releasing from the back, due to mutual movements between the containers, it is desirable to apply a corresponding additional support in the part of the container. containers. The carrier described above is disadvantageous in that it serves only a single row of containers and is expensive due to the costs of the material and a more complicated assembly of a double carrier. A further drawback is that the side rims of the holder which project downwardly along the side surface of the containers can easily be secured to an adjacent finished package or to any other component so that the rims are pushed upwards and the rims of the slots disengage from the back of the container. There is a similar support for cans which is described in EP-B-0496807. The carrier is constituted by two opposing arcuate slits for each can and short incisions which develop radially from said slots. There is a set of flaps, formed between the incisions, which engage under the protruding collar of the cans. There are gripping wings on each side of the holder, adapted to be folded when a carrier with the cans is grasped and lifted by the wearer. It has been found that such a holder is insufficient to support the cans securely, especially when forces are applied to lift the holder into the gripping grooves on the sides of the holder. The carrier has a centrally disposed fold line which will serve as a "flap" when lift forces are applied to the gripping grooves on the opposite sides of the carrier, such that the cans are separated and tend to come off the carrier. In addition, the side flaps are forced by the lifting forces in a vertical direction, thereby further increasing the risk of the support being released from the cans.
Ideia básica da invenção A presente invenção tem por objecto resolver os problemas anteriormente enunciados, mediante um suporte para latas que possa ser fixado com segurança as latas para as manter uãidãb e para as imobilizar e suportar, e que constituí uma embalagem acabada que pode ser levantada e manuseada sem o risco de se soltar, sendo 3 esse suporte eficaz em termos de utilização de material e podendo ser aplicado e instalado, fácil e eficientemente, num conjunto de latas.The present invention has the object of solving the above problems by means of a can holder which can securely be secured to the cans to hold them and to immobilize and support them and which constitutes a finished package which can be lifted and is handled without the risk of loosening, this support being effective in terms of the use of material and being able to be applied and installed, easily and efficiently, in a set of cans.
Este objectivo é alcançado, em conformidade com a invenção, mediante um suporte para latas e um modelo semí-acabado feito em cartão para o suporte para latas, conforme descrito antes, e com as particularidades caracterizadoras definidas nas reivindicações anexas.This object is achieved in accordance with the invention by a can holder and a semi-finished carton blank for the can holder as described above and with the characterizing features defined in the appended claims.
De acordo com a invenção, as fendas arqueadas opostas para cada lata que se pretende que fique fixamente unida pelo suporte compreendem uma secção intermédia arqueada entre duas secções terminais arqueadas, estando a referida secção intermédia da fenda formada radialmente no interior das secções terminais arqueadas da fenda, de tal modo que se forma uma lingueta de engate arqueada radialmente saliente na secção intermédia da fenda. A lingueta está adaptada para deslizar sobre o aro da lata quando os painéis laterais e possivelmente a parte central do modelo semi--acabado são empurrados num sentido descendente em direcção aos lados inclinados da lata, e para engatar à pressão por baixo do aro da lata para unir fixamente o suporte às latas. A lata fica fixamente imobilizada no suporte pelas forças de aperto que resultam da pressão de contacto do suporte sobre a tampa superior da lata que são geradas quando a lingueta de engate é engatada à pressão por baixo do aro da lata, ficando assente neste. A curvatura da lingueta de engate acompanha totalmente a curvatura da lata e graças à deflexão das secções terminais das fendas e à tensão subsequente nestas secções, resultante da pressão de contacto sobre a tampa superior, as linguetas de engate são apertadas e permitem uma união segura e estável.According to the invention, opposing arcuate slits for each can which is to be fixedly attached by the support comprise an intermediate section arcuate between two arcuate end sections, said intermediate section of the slit being formed radially within the arcuate end sections of the slit , such that a radially protruding arcuate engaging pawl is formed in the intermediate section of the slit. The pawl is adapted to slide over the rim of the can when the side panels and possibly the central part of the semi-finished model are pushed downwardly towards the inclined sides of the can, and for engaging under the pressure of the rim of the can to securely attach the holder to the cans. The can is fixedly secured to the holder by the clamping forces resulting from the contact pressure of the holder on the upper lid of the can which is generated when the catch tongue is engaged under the pressure below the can's rim and sits therein. The curvature of the engaging tongue fully accompanies the curvature of the can and, thanks to the deflection of the end sections of the slots and the subsequent stress in these sections resulting from the contact pressure on the top cover, the engaging tabs are tightened and allow a secure and stable.
Estes e outros objectivos e vantagens da invenção tornar-se-ão mais evidentes após a descrição subsequente de variantes da invenção e nos desenhos anexos.These and other objects and advantages of the invention will become more apparent upon the ensuing description of variants of the invention and the accompanying drawings.

Descrição minuciosa de variantes da invenção 0 suporte de acordo com a invenção é produzido a partir de um modelo semi-acabado plano feito de cartão, de preferência cartão canelado. De preferência, utiliza-se um cartão ondulado de pregas F biseladas. No entanto, um cartão ondulado de pregas E mais espessas também pode constituir um material adequado para o suporte. Com o intuito de se minimizar o efeito da humidade sobre o material, o cartão ondulado pode ser revestido com uma camada de um material plástico, de preferência na sua face interior. Para além disso, a camada de plástico faz aumentar a resistência do material contra a humidade e essa camada faz aumentar também a dúctil idade do material. As vantagens de natureza ambiental do cartão ondulado permanecem inalteradas com o revestimento plástico, uma vez que o material plástico da camada de revestimento pode ser reciclado. A figura 1 ilustra o modelo semi-acabado plano 2 para um suporte de acordo com uma primeira variante preferencial da invenção. O sπnorte pstá adantado r>ara suportar e mantnr coeso um conjunto de latas dispostas numa única fileira que é, na variante ilustrada, uma fileira de duas latas. A figura 2 mostra o suporte 1, produzido a b partir do modelo semi-acabado 2 da figura 1, montado no conjunto de latas 4. As latas 4, que não fazem parte da presente invenção, são de concepção convencional, apresentando uma forma básica essencialmente circular-cilíndrica. A parte superior da lata é ligeiramente inclinada e está fechada por uma tampa superior 6 que ê hermeticamente vedada por meio de um aro circular saliente 8. O modelo semi-acabado plano 2 da figura 1 tem uma forma básica essencialmente rectangular, de preferência com cantos 10 denteados ou inclinados, para reduzir o risco de que uma parte saliente do suporte possa ficar presa num elemento adjacente, por exemplo, uma outra embalagem já montada para latas. Estão previstos duas reentrâncias de preensão 12 dispostas centralmente, formando um encaixe para dois dedos, nos lados compridos 26 do modelo semi--acabado. 0 suporte 1 e as latas 4, formando uma embalagem acabada, conforme representado na figura 2, podem ser simplesmente levantados introduzindo apenas dois dedos nas reentrâncias 12. Há duas fendas arqueadas 14, mutuamente opostas e essencialmente arqueadas, no modelo semi-acabado 2 para cada lata 4 que irã ser fixada pelo suporte. A fenda arqueada 14 possui uma secção intermédia arqueada 16 que dispõe de secções terminais arqueadas 18 em ambos os lados. Há uns troços rectilíneos 20 dispostos entre as secções intermédias 16 e as secções terminais 18. As secções terminais arqueadas 18 são parcialmente circulares, sendo o seu raio igual ou ligeiramente superior ao do aro saliente 8 da tampa superior 6 da lata, de tal modo que as secções terminais 18 ficam alinhadas com o rebordo do respaldo 8, ou ligeiramente salientes em relação a este, na situação de montagem completa ilustrada na figura 2. Sendo assim, o rebordo exterior da fenda 14, ao longo das secções terminais 18, pode ser facilmente deslocado para baixo e passar pelo aro 8, conforme adiante se explicará de forma mais minuciosa. A secção intermédia arqueada 16 da fenda 14 está formada radialmente no interior das secções terminais arqueadas 18 da fenda, de tal modo que a secção intermédia forma um arco dentro da linha arqueada formada pelas extensões das duas secções terminais 18 . Assim, o rebordo exterior da secção intermédia 16 da fenda 14 forma uma lingueta de engate saliente 22 dirigida para o centro do modelo semi-acabado. Conforme se disse antes, a lingueta de engate 22 é arqueada e pode ser parcialmente circular, correspondendo a sua curvatura à da lata imediatamente por baixo do aro. A lingueta de engate 22 também pode ser arqueada de maneira diferente, por exemplo, o arco pode ser parcialmente circular e “mais largo”. Assim, lingueta de engate 22 possui um raio maior e um centro que não coincide com o centro das latas quando se encontram já montadas no suporte. A lingueta de engate 22 está adaptada para engatar à pressão por baixo do aro saliente 8 da lata 4 para fixar e imobilizar a lata no suporte, conforme adiante se descreverá de forma mais minuciosa.Detailed description of variants of the invention The carrier according to the invention is produced from a flat semi-finished blank made of cardboard, preferably corrugated cardboard. Preferably, a corrugated cardboard of F bevelled folds is used. However, a corrugated cardboard of thicker AND folds may also constitute a suitable material for the carrier. In order to minimize the effect of moisture on the material, the corrugated paperboard may be coated with a layer of a plastic material, preferably on its inner face. In addition, the plastic layer increases the strength of the material against moisture and that layer also increases the ductile age of the material. The environmental advantages of corrugated board remain unchanged with the plastic coating, since the plastic material of the coating layer can be recycled. Figure 1 shows the flat semi-finished model 2 for a carrier according to a first preferred embodiment of the invention. The plate is movable to support and hold together a set of cans disposed in a single row which is, in the illustrated variant, a row of two cans. Figure 2 shows the carrier 1, produced from the semi-finished model 2 of Figure 1, mounted to the can assembly 4. The cans 4, which are not part of the present invention, are of conventional design, having a basic shape essentially circular-cylindrical. The upper part of the can is slightly inclined and is closed by an upper lid 6 which is hermetically sealed by means of a circular protruding ring 8. The flat semi-finished model 2 of Figure 1 has a substantially rectangular basic shape, preferably with edges 10 to reduce the risk that a protruding part of the carrier may be attached to an adjacent member, for example another carton already mounted for cans. Two centrally disposed grip recesses 12 are provided forming a two finger socket on the long sides 26 of the semi-finished model. The carrier 1 and the cans 4, forming a finished package, as shown in figure 2, can be simply lifted by inserting only two fingers into the recesses 12. There are two mutually opposite and substantially arcuate arcuate slots 14 in the semi-finished model 2 for each can 4 which will be secured by the support. The arcuate slot 14 has an arcuate intermediate section 16 having arcuate end sections 18 on both sides. There are rectilinear portions 20 disposed between the intermediate sections 16 and the end sections 18. The arcuate end sections 18 are partly circular, their radius being equal to or slightly greater than that of the protruding ring 8 of the upper lid 6 of the can, the end sections 18 are aligned with the shoulder flange 8 or slightly protruding thereto in the fully assembled situation shown in Figure 2. Thus, the outer edge of the slot 14, along the end sections 18, can be easily moved downwardly and passing through the rim 8, as will be explained more fully below. The arcuate intermediate section 16 of the slit 14 is formed radially within the arcuate end sections 18 of the slit such that the intermediate section forms an arc within the arcuate line formed by the extensions of the two end sections 18. Thus, the outer rim of the intermediate section 16 of the slit 14 forms a protruding lug 22 directed towards the center of the semi-finished model. As stated above, the engagement pawl 22 is arcuate and may be partially circular, corresponding to its curvature to that of the can immediately below the rim. The engaging pawl 22 may also be arcuate differently, for example, the arch may be partially circular and "wider". Thus, engagement lug 22 has a larger radius and center which does not coincide with the center of the cans when already mounted in the holder. The engaging tab 22 is adapted to engage under the pressure beneath the lug ring 8 of the can 4 to secure and immobilize the can on the holder, as will be described more fully below.
Estão previstas diversas linhas de dobragem longitudinais 24 no modelo semi-acabado 2, desenvolvendo-se paralelamente aos lados compridos 26 do modelo semi-acabado e à fileira de latas. As linhas de dobragem 24 unem entre si as extremidades das fendas arqueadas 14 ou com um lado curto adjacente 28 do modelo semi-acabado.Several longitudinal fold lines 24 are provided in the semi-finished model 2, extending parallel to the long sides 26 of the semi-finished model and the row of cans. The fold lines 24 join together the ends of the arcuate slits 14 or with an adjacent short side 28 of the semi-finished model.
Ao ser preparado o suporte 1, conforme ilustrado na figura 2, a partir do modelo plano semi-acabado da figura 1, esse modelo semi-acabado 2 é, em primeiro lugar, colocado por cima das tampas superiores 6 das latas, de tal modo que as fendas 14 existentes no modelo semi-acabado coincidam inteiramente com os aros salientes 8 das latas. Os painéis laterais 30 do modelo semi-acabado 2, formados entre os lados compridos 2 6 e das linhas de dobragem 24, são forçados e consequentemente dobrados para baixo em direcção âs superfícies inclinadas das latas. Assim sendo, o rebordo exterior da fenda 14 é deslocado para baixo e a lingueta de engate saliente 22 fica voltada numa direcção ligeiramente ascendente. Deste modo, as secções terminais arqueadas 18 da fenda 14 passam pelo lado de fora do aro saliente 8 da Lampa superior 6 e a lingueta de engate 22 desliza sobre o aro 8 e engata à pressão por baixo do referido aro, de tal modo que o suporte irá ficar 7 fixamente imobilizado na lata por- acção da lingueta. A lingueta de engate arqueada 22 tem uma forma que lhe permite ajustar-se à curvatura cilíndrica da lata 4, de tal modo que toda a lingueta 22 vai assentar sobre a superfície da lata por baixo do aro 8 e vai exercer uma força de aperto resultante das tensões distribuídas no suporte ao longo dos rebordos exteriores das secções terminais 18 das fendas devido à pressão de contacto do suporte 1 sobre a tampa superior 6, obtendo-se deste modo uma união segura e estável entre o suporte e as latas. A embalagem acabada final é ainda estabilizada pelos painéis 30 que ficam encostados às superfícies inclinadas das latas 4. A largura (ao longo dos lados curtos 28) do modelo semi--acabado plano 2 é aproximadamente igual ao diâmetro do cilindro das latas. Na fase final de montagem, com os painéis laterais 30 numa posição inclinada, a largura do suporte 1 é ainda mais reduzida. Posto isto, no estado de montagem final, os rebordos do suporte 1 não excedem as dimensões máximas das latas. Em consequência disso, é consideravelmente reduzido o risco de ocorrer um desengate não intencional do suporte em relação às latas, devido a forças orientadas verticalmente para cima, sobre os painéis laterais. As partes planas superiores do suporte montado 1 ficam a cobrir as partes superiores das latas, isto é, a tampa superior 6, de tal modo que estas partes ficam protegidas contra qualquer contaminação durante o transporte e a armazenagem. A figura 3 mostra o modelo semi-acabado plano 32 feito em cartão para um suporte de acordo com uma segunda variante da invenção. Este modelo semi-acabado está adaptado, no estado de montagem final, para unir entre si e suportar um conjunto, isto é, seis latas 4 dispostas em duas fileiras na variante ilustrada. 0 modelo semi-acabado 32 está representado numa fase de montagem final na figura 4. 0 modelo semi-acabado plano 32 tem uma forma básica essencialmente reetangular, de preferencia com cantos 10 denteados ou inclinados 10 na variante ilustrada nas figuras 1-2. Há pelo menos duas reentrâncias de preensão 42, de preferência com a configuração de aberturas circulares ou ovais, dispostas centralmente no modelo semi-acabado entre as fileiras de latas, formando um encaixe para dois dedos de modo a permitir levantar e manusear a embalagem acabada. Há duas fendas 44, 45, mutuamente opostas e essencialmente arqueadas, no modelo 32 para cada lata 4 que irá ficar imobilizada pelo suporte 31. Cada par de fendas compreende uma fenda exterior 44, correspondendo essencialmente às fendas 14 na variante ilustrada nas figuras 1 e 2, e uma fenda interior 45 adjacente a uma linha central 34 do modelo semi-acabado entre as fileiras de latas. A fenda interior 45 difere da fenda exterior 44, fundamentalmente pela configuração da secção intermédia 46, mas também pelo facto de as secções terminais arqueadas 48 serem mais pequenas do que as correspondentes secções terminais 18 da fenda exterior 44. Em consequência, a secção intermédia 46 da fenda interior é mais larga do que a correspondente secção intermédia 16 da fenda exterior 44. A secção intermédia 4 6 da fenda interior 45 possui pelo menos uma incisão 47 com desenvolvimento radial, apresentando duas na variante ilustrada. As incisões 47 desenvolvem-se entre o rebordo da fenda 45 e uma linha de dobragem arqueada 53, ficando situadas entre as secções terminais 48 e delimitando uma lingueta de engate entre os troços rectilíneos 50. As incisões 47 dividem a lingueta de engate em três abas de engate 52. A curvatura das secções intermédias 46 da fenda 45 difere da curvatura da linha de dobragem arqueada 53 na medida em que é mais larga e possui um raio maior do que o da linha de dobragem 53. A linha de dobragem arqueada 53 tem uma configuração que corresponde à curvatura da linha de contacto da superfície inclinada da lata, conforme adiante se descreverá de forma mais minuciosa, tomando como referência a figura 4.As the carrier 1, as shown in Figure 2, is prepared from the semi-finished flat model of Figure 1, this semi-finished model 2 is first placed above the upper lid 6 of the cans, that the slits 14 in the semi-finished model coincide entirely with the protruding lugs 8 of the cans. The side panels 30 of the semi-finished model 2, formed between the long sides 26 and the fold lines 24, are forced and consequently bent down towards the inclined surfaces of the cans. Thus, the outer rim of the slit 14 is moved downwardly and the protruding lug 22 is turned in a slightly upward direction. Accordingly, the arcuate end sections 18 of the slit 14 pass through the outside of the protruding ring 8 of the upper Lampa 6 and the engaging pawl 22 slides on the ring 8 and engages under the pressure below said ring, in such a way that the the support will be fixedly fixed in the can by the action of the tongue. The arcuate engagement pawl 22 has a shape that allows it to adjust to the cylindrical curvature of the can 4, such that the entire pawl 22 will rest on the surface of the can under the rim 8 and will exert a resulting clamping force of the stresses distributed in the holder along the outer edges of the end sections 18 of the slots due to the contact pressure of the holder 1 on the top cover 6, thereby obtaining a secure and stable attachment between the holder and the cans. The finished finished package is further stabilized by the panels 30 which abut against the inclined surfaces of the cans 4. The width (along the short sides 28) of the flat semi-finished model 2 is approximately equal to the cylinder diameter of the cans. In the final assembly stage, with the side panels 30 in an inclined position, the width of the carrier 1 is further reduced. That being so, in the final assembly state, the shoulders of the carrier 1 do not exceed the maximum dimensions of the cans. As a consequence, the risk of unintentional disengagement of the holder from the cans due to forces vertically upwards on the side panels is considerably reduced. The upper flat parts of the assembled support 1 cover the upper parts of the cans, ie the top cover 6, such that these parts are protected against any contamination during transport and storage. Figure 3 shows the flat semi-finished blank 32 made in carton for a carrier according to a second variant of the invention. This semi-finished model is adapted, in the final assembly state, to join together and support a set, i.e. six cans 4 arranged in two rows in the illustrated variant. The semi-finished model 32 is shown in a final assembly phase in Figure 4. The semi-finished flat model 32 has a substantially rectangular basic shape, preferably with tenanted or inclined corners 10 in the variant shown in Figures 1-2. There are at least two gripping recesses 42, preferably with the configuration of circular or oval apertures, disposed centrally in the semi-finished pattern between the rows of cans, forming a two-finger socket to enable lifting and handling of the finished package. There are two mutually opposite and essentially arcuate slots 44, 45 in the pattern 32 for each can 4 which will be immobilized by the support 31. Each pair of slots comprises an outer slit 44, essentially corresponding to the slots 14 in the variant shown in figures 1 and 2, and an inner slit 45 adjacent a midline 34 of the semi-finished model between the rows of cans. The inner slit 45 differs from the outer slit 44 primarily by the configuration of the intermediate section 46 but also by the fact that the arcuate end sections 48 are smaller than the corresponding end sections 18 of the outer slit 44. As a result, the intermediate section 46 of the inner slit is wider than the corresponding intermediate section 16 of the outer slit 44. The intermediate section 46 of the inner slit 45 has at least one radially developing incision 47, two in the illustrated variant. The incisions 47 extend between the edge of the slit 45 and an arcuate fold line 53, being located between the end sections 48 and delimiting an engaging tongue between the rectilinear portions 50. The incisions 47 divide the engaging tab into three tabs The curvature of the intermediate sections 46 of the slit 45 differs from the curvature of the arcuate fold line 53 in that it is wider and has a greater radius than that of the fold line 53. The arcuate fold line 53 has a configuration corresponding to the curvature of the contact line of the inclined surface of the can, as will be described in more detail below, with reference to figure 4.
Conforme ilustrado na figura 3, há um conjunto de linhas de dobragem suplementares definidas n o modelo semi - auctbado 32 . Hã três linhas de dobragem longitudinais 54, para cada fileira de latas, que se desenvolvem paralelamente aos lados compridos 56 9 do modelo semi - acabado e às fileiras das latas. Duas das três linhas de dobragem longitudinais 54 unem entre si as extremidades das fendas arqueadas 44, 45 ou com um lado curto adjacente 58 do modelo semi-acabado e a terceira linha de dobragem 54 une entre si os troços rectilíneos 20 das fendas exteriores 44 ou com o lado curto adjacente 58 do modelo semi-acabado. Além disso, há um conjunto de linhas de dobragem oblíquas 55 no modelo semi-acabado, estando essas linhas de dobragem a unir as abas de engate exteriores 52 com uma reentrância de preensão adjacente 42 ou a um lado curto adjacente do modelo semi-acabado.As shown in Figure 3, there is a set of additional fold lines defined in the semi-formed model 32. There are three longitudinal fold lines 54, for each row of cans, which extend parallel to the long sides 56 of the semi-finished model and to the rows of cans. Two of the three longitudinal fold lines 54 join together the ends of the arcuate slots 44, 45 or with an adjacent short side 58 of the semi-finished model and the third fold line 54 joins together the rectilinear portions 20 of the outer slots 44 or with the adjacent short side 58 of the semi-finished model. In addition, there is a set of oblique folding lines 55 in the semi-finished model, these folding lines being joined to the outer engaging flaps 52 with an adjacent grip recess 42 or to an adjacent short side of the semi-finished model.
Todas as latas 4 do conjunto, dispostas em duas fileiras, ficam unidas entre si e suportadas conjuntamente pelo suporte 31 numa embalagem já montada e acabada, conforme ilustrado na figura 4. Ao produzir-se o suporte, conforme ilustrado na figura 4, a partir do modelo semi-acabado plano 32 da figura 3, esse modelo semi-acabado plano é primeiramente colocado por cima das fileiras de latas e depois os painéis laterais 60 dos lados compridos e também as partes centrais do modelo semi-acabado são empurrados e consequentemente dobrados num sentido descendente, de preferência por meio de uma ferramenta aplicadora de pressão especialmente concebida para o efeito. Durante este procedimento de aplicação de uma pressão, as partes essencialmente circulares do modelo semi-acabado entre as fendas 44, 45 encostam sobre as tampas superiores 6 das latas, ficando a cobri-las, ao passo que os painéis laterais 60 e as partes centrais são empurradas para baixo. Graças à pressão orientada para baixo, o modelo semi-acabado 32 é dobrado pelas linhas de dobragem 54, 55. Assim, os painéis laterais 60 são dobrados, em dois passos, pelas duas linhas de dobragem paralelas 54, pelo que o rebordo exterior arqueado das fendas exteriores 44 é deslocado num sentido descendente, passando pelo aro 8 da lata, de uma maneira correspondente à ilustrada na figura 2. A parte ma is exterior dos painéis 60 é também dobrada, de tal modo que a lingueta de engate 22 deslize sobre o aro 8 e engate à pressão por baixo do referido aro, ficando na sua posição de imobilização. 10All the cans 4 of the assembly, arranged in two rows, are joined together and supported together by the carrier 31 in a package already assembled and finished, as shown in figure 4. As the carrier is produced, as shown in figure 4, from of the flat semi-finished model 32 of Figure 3, this flat semi-finished model is first placed above the rows of cans and then the side panels 60 of the long sides and also the central parts of the semi-finished model are pushed and consequently folded in a downward direction, preferably by means of a specially designed pressure applying tool. During this pressure application procedure, the essentially circular parts of the semi-finished model between the slots 44, 45 abut the upper covers 6 of the cans, covering them, while the side panels 60 and the central portions are pushed down. Thanks to the downward pressure, the semi-finished model 32 is folded by the fold lines 54, 55. Thus, the side panels 60 are folded in two steps by the two parallel folding lines 54, whereby the arcuate outer collar of the outer slots 44 is moved in a downward direction through the rim 8 of the can in a manner corresponding to that shown in Figure 2. The outermost part of the panels 60 is also folded in such a way that the engagement tongue 22 slides over the collar 8 engages under pressure under said collar, being in its immobilizing position. 10
Entre as fileiras de latas, centralmente no modelo semi-acabado 32, uma ferramenta especialmente concebida para o efeito aplica pressão em determinados pontos ao longo da linha central 34 do modelo semi-acabado. 0 modelo semi-acabado 32 é dobrado pela linha de dcbragem interior longitudinal 54, de tal modo que os rebordos exteriores das fendas interiores 45 são deslocados num sentido descendente passando pelo aro 8 da lata. Além disso, o modelo semi-acabado 32 é dobrado pelas linhas de dobragem oblíquas 55 e pelas linhas de dobragem arqueadas 53. Aplica-se a pressão para baixo de tal modo que as linhas de dobragem arqueadas 53 são empurradas contra as superfícies inclinadas das latas e as abas de engate 52 são dobradas para cima para finalmente engatarem à pressão por baixo do aro 8 da lata, assumindo uma posição de imobilização. A pressão descendente é aplicada em determinadas partes do modelo semi-acabado entre cada par de latas, formando assim formações denteadas em forma de taça entre as linhas de dobragem oblíquas 55 e as linhas de dobragem arqueadas 53.Between the rows of cans, centrally in the semi-finished model 32, a specially designed tool applies pressure at certain points along the center line 34 of the semi-finished model. The semi-finished blank 32 is folded by the longitudinal inner fold line 54, such that the outer edges of the inner slots 45 are moved downwardly through the can rim 8. In addition, the semi-finished model 32 is folded by the oblique folding lines 55 and the arcuate folding lines 53. The downward pressure is applied such that the arcuate folding lines 53 are drawn against the inclined surfaces of the cans and the engaging flaps 52 are folded upwardly to finally engage the pressure below the rim 8 of the can, assuming an immobilizing position. The downward pressure is applied to certain portions of the semi-finished pattern between each pair of cans, thereby forming cup shaped formations between the oblique folding lines 55 and the arcuate folding lines 53.
Quando o suporte 31 ilustrado na figura 4, com toda a sua carga pesada de latas 4 repletas de líquido, é levantada por meio de dois dedos introduzidos nas reentrâncias de preensão 42, linhas de dobragem oblíquas 55 e, em especial, as formações denteadas entre elas no suporte 31 evitam que as forças elevatórias, tal como sucede com outras embalagens de suporte anteriormente conhecidas, sejam transformadas em movimentos mútuos de separação entre as latas, o que pode causar eventualmente o desprendimento das latas para. fora do suporte. De acordo com a invenção, as forças elevatórias, no caso vertente, são distribuídas na direcção das linhas de dobragem oblíquas 55 e são transformadas numa pressão maior das abas de engate 52 contra o aro 8.When the carrier 31 illustrated in Figure 4 with its entire heavy load of liquid-filled cans 4 is lifted by two fingers inserted into the gripping recesses 42, oblique folding lines 55 and, in particular, the tooth formations between they on the support 31 prevent the lifting forces, as occurs with other previously known carrier packages, to be transformed into mutual separation movements between the cans, which may eventually cause the cans to come off. off the stand. According to the invention, the lifting forces in the present case are distributed towards the oblique folding lines 55 and are transformed into a greater pressure of the engagement flaps 52 against the ring 8.
De acordo com a invenção, os modelos semi-acabados podem ser montados eficientemente sobre as latas numa linha de produção automática. No entanto, os modelos semi-acabados também podemAccording to the invention, the semi-finished models can be mounted efficiently on the cans in an automatic production line.
