Abstract

The invention relates to a one-piece blank that is used to form a container intended for packaging and presenting everyday items, such as flower arrangements. The aforementioned blank comprises weakening lines (1 to 7) which define a central polygonal area (8), said polygonal area being designed to form the base of the container. Moreover, said blank comprises lateral areas (9 to 12) which extend alongside the edges of the polygon to form the lateral walls of the container. Said lateral areas are successively interconnected by means of junction areas (13 to 16) which can be folded like an accordion (19). The junction areas (13 to 16) are folded outwards like an accordion (19), while the lateral areas (9 to 12) comprise weakening lines (5) so that said lateral areas can be folded in towards one another close to the top of the container such that the opening thereof can be at least partially closed.

Description

EMBALLAGE POUR LA PRESENTATION DE FLEURS PACKAGE FOR THE PRESENTATION OF FLOWERS
L'invention est du domaine de l'emballage et de la présentation des articles de la consommation courante, et plus particulièrement des compositions florales ou analogues. Notamment, ces compositions peuvent être faîtes à partir d'éléments naturels ou artificiels, tels que plantes ou fleurs. Elle a pour objet un flan de matériau semi-rigide pour former un conteneur en vue de recevoir de tels articles, ainsi que le conteneur obtenu à partir d'un tel flan.The invention is in the field of packaging and presentation of articles of current consumption, and more particularly floral compositions or the like. In particular, these compositions can be made from natural or artificial elements, such as plants or flowers. It relates to a blank of semi-rigid material to form a container for receiving such articles, as well as the container obtained from such a blank.
On connaît des conteneurs pour le transport et la présentation des compositions florales. Parmi ces conteneurs on connaît ceux formés à partir d'un flan prédécoupé qui est repliable sur lui-même. On pourra par exemple se reporter aux brevets W09637133 (CHARRIN), EP0881167 (BERTOLA), FR2741594 (MOSCHETTO) et EP2763230 (DUBOIS) qui décrivent de tels flans.Containers are known for transporting and presenting floral arrangements. Among these containers are known those formed from a precut blank which is foldable on itself. We can for example refer to patents W09637133 (CHARRIN), EP0881167 (BERTOLA), FR2741594 (MOSCHETTO) and EP2763230 (DUBOIS) which describe such blanks.
Un inconvénient majeur de ces conteneurs réside dans leur fermeture par emboîtement de languettes à l'intérieur d'ouvertures, voire dans leur mise en conformation par assemblage d'éléments. De telles dispositions vont à encontre d'une étanchéité souhaitable du conteneur, notamment destiné à recevoir des compositions florales qui doivent être maintenues dans un milieu humide, voire liquide.A major drawback of these containers lies in their closure by interlocking tabs inside openings, or even in their shaping by assembly of elements. Such arrangements go against a desirable seal of the container, in particular intended to receive floral compositions which must be maintained in a humid or even liquid medium.
Il a été proposé par US5005760 (LAMBERTUS et al.), de former un conteneur à partir d'un flan comportant des lignes de fragilisation pour son repli sur lui-même. Ces lignes de fragilisation délimitent une zone centrale polygonale du flan prévue pour former le fond du conteneur, cette zone centrale étant bordée à ses côtés par des zones latérales reliées successivement entre elles par des zones de jonction pour former les parois latérales du conteneur. Le flan étant replié pour former le conteneur, celui-ci est maintenu en conformation au moyen d'un lacet circulant à son sommet à travers des ouvertures ménagées dans les zones latérales du flan. On notera ensuite qu'il est nécessaire que le matériau du flan soit résistant et de bonne tenue, et que le conteneur, bien qu'obtenu par pliage d'un flan, soit agencé pour avoir une tenue suffisante compatible avec la réception éventuelle d'un substrat pour la composition florale. Toujours selon US5005760, il a été proposé de replier les zones de jonction en soufflet, pour les rabattre contre la face interne des zones latérales du flan en vue de rigidifier les parois latérales du conteneur, en leur conférant une épaisseur accrue au regard de l'épaisseur du flan lui-même.It has been proposed by US5005760 (LAMBERTUS et al.) To form a container from a blank comprising weakening lines for its fold back on itself. These weakening lines delimit a polygonal central zone of the blank intended to form the bottom of the container, this central zone being bordered at its sides by lateral zones connected successively to each other by junction zones to form the lateral walls of the container. The blank being folded up to form the container, the latter is kept in conformation by means of a lace circulating at its top through openings made in the lateral areas of the blank. It will then be noted that it is necessary that the blank material be resistant and of good resistance, and that the container, although obtained by folding a blank, be arranged to have sufficient resistance compatible with the possible reception of a substrate for the flower arrangement. Still according to US5005760, it has been proposed to fold the bellows junction zones, to fold them against the internal face of the side areas of the blank in order to stiffen the side walls of the container, giving them an increased thickness with respect to the thickness of the blank itself.
On notera aussi à ce propos qu'il a été proposé par FR2788041 (VIEVILLE) un conteneur structurellement préformé en forme de corbeille obtenue par injection de matière plastique. Cependant, si un tel conteneur préformé au moulage comporte des qualités de bonne tenue et d'étanchéité, il présente l'inconvénient d'être coûteux, ce qui est rédhibitoire pour une utilisation en tant qu'accessoire pour des compositions florales, sur lesquelles se porte prioritairement l'intérêt des consommateurs.It will also be noted in this connection that it has been proposed by FR2788041 (VIEVILLE) a structurally preformed container in the shape of a basket obtained by injection of plastic material. However, if such a container preformed during molding has qualities of good resistance and sealing, it has the disadvantage of being expensive, which is prohibitive for use as an accessory for floral compositions, on which is primarily in the interest of consumers.
Par ailleurs, et encore au regard de l'intérêt porté par les consommateurs sur l'emballage des compositions florales, il est nécessaire que le conteneur formé par pliage d'un flan présente un aspect extérieur séduisant. On relèvera que l'agencement des moyens de rigidification du conteneur proposé par US5005760, confère à ce dernier un aspect extérieur austère qui n'est guère compatible avec l'attente des consommateurs.Furthermore, and again with regard to the interest shown by consumers in the packaging of floral compositions, it is necessary for the container formed by folding a blank to have an attractive external appearance. It will be noted that the arrangement of the means of stiffening the container offered by US5005760, gives the latter an austere external appearance which is hardly compatible with the expectations of consumers.
Un autre problème spécifique des compositions florales réside dans le soutien de leur partie apparente lorsqu'elles sont emballées dans le conteneur. Pour cela, il est connu de pourvoir les conteneurs d'une collette ménagée à leur sommet, à la manière décrite par FR2788041. On relèvera cependant que l'agencement de la collerette doit permettre un soutien satisfaisant de la composition florale, sans pour autant porter atteinte à l'esthétique générale du conteneur.Another specific problem with flower arrangements is the support of their visible part when they are packed in the container. For this, it is known to provide the containers with a collar formed at their top, in the manner described by FR2788041. It should be noted, however, that the arrangement of the collar must allow satisfactory support of the floral composition, without however detracting from the general aesthetics of the container.
Le problème global posé pour les conteneurs destiné à recevoir des articles de consommation courante pour leur emballage et leur présentation est de trouver un compromis entre les différentes contraintes susvisées. Ces contraintes concernent notamment une mise en adéquation de leur fonctionnalité, de leur aspect extérieur et de leur coût d'obtention, de manière à satisfaire au mieux aux exigences de la clientèle avec des critères de compétitivité compatibles avec le marché. Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un conteneur en vue du stockage, du transport, de la manutention, et de la présentation d'articles de consommation courante, compositions florales ou analogues notamment, ou encore articles de confiseries ou analogues par exemple. Plus particulièrement, le but de la présente invention est de proposer un flan pour la formation d'un tel conteneur, ainsi qu'un conteneur obtenu à partir d'un tel flan, dont l'agencement satisfasse aux différentes exigences qui ont été énoncées, à partir de choix intuitifs en réponse au compromis susvisé à trouver.The overall problem posed for containers intended to receive articles of current consumption for their packaging and their presentation is to find a compromise between the various constraints mentioned above. These constraints relate in particular to a matching of their functionality, their external appearance and their cost of obtaining, so as to best meet the requirements of customers with competitive criteria compatible with the market. The object of the present invention is to provide a container for the storage, transport, handling, and presentation of articles of current consumption, floral arrangements or the like in particular, or even confectionery or similar items for example. More particularly, the aim of the present invention is to propose a blank for the formation of such a container, as well as a container obtained from such a blank, the arrangement of which satisfies the various requirements which have been stated, from intuitive choices in response to the aforementioned compromise to be found.
La présente invention va être décrite en relation avec les figures des planches annexées, qui illustrent des exemples de réalisation de l'invention, dans lesquelles planches : la fig.1 est une vue de dessus d'un flan selon une première variante de réalisation de l'invention, la fig.2 est une vue latérale d'un conteneur obtenu à partir du flan représenté sur la fig.1 , la fig.3 est une vue de dessus d'un flan selon une deuxième variante de l'invention, la fig.4 est une vue latérale d'un conteneur obtenu à partir du flan représenté sur la fig.3, la fig.5 est une vue de dessus du conteneur obtenu à partir du flan représenté sur la fig.3.The present invention will be described in relation to the figures of the appended plates, which illustrate exemplary embodiments of the invention, in which plates: FIG. 1 is a top view of a blank according to a first alternative embodiment of the invention, fig.2 is a side view of a container obtained from the blank shown in fig.1, fig.3 is a top view of a blank according to a second variant of the invention, Fig.4 is a side view of a container obtained from the blank shown in Fig.3, Fig.5 is a top view of the container obtained from the blank shown in Fig.3.
Sur les fig.1 et fig.3, le flan proposé par la présente invention est du genre de ceux tel que décrit par le brevet US5005760, qui sont monoblocs et qui comportent des lignes de fragilisation telles que 1 à 7, en vue de leur repli sur eux-mêmes pour la formation d'un conteneur, délimitant une zone centrale polygonale 8 destinée à former le fond du conteneur, chacun des bords de cette zone centrale 8 étant bordé par des zones latérales 9,10,11 ,12 les prolongeant respectivement. Ces zones latérales 9 à 12, destinées à former les parois latérales du conteneur, sont successivement reliées entre elles par des zones de jonction 13,14,15,16 repliables en soufflet. Ces soufflets 19 participent de la continuité entre les parois latérales 9 à 12 du conteneur, pour lui conférer une étanchéité et pour participer de sa rigidification nonobstant sa formation à partir d'un flan.On fig.1 and fig.3, the blank proposed by the present invention is of the kind as described by patent US5005760, which are in one piece and which include weakening lines such as 1 to 7, for their fold back on themselves for the formation of a container, delimiting a polygonal central zone 8 intended to form the bottom of the container, each of the edges of this central zone 8 being bordered by lateral zones 9,10,11, 12 extending them respectively. These lateral zones 9 to 12, intended to form the lateral walls of the container, are successively connected to each other by junction zones 13, 14, 15, 16 foldable in bellows. These bellows 19 participate in the continuity between the side walls 9 to 12 of the container, to give it a seal and to participate in its stiffening notwithstanding its formation from a blank.
Ce flan est avantageusement en matériau semi- rigide, préférentiellement étanche. Pour éclairer les modalités de repli du flan pour former le conteneur, on relèvera sur les fig.1 et fig.3 que les arrêtes extérieures et les arrêtes intérieures du conteneur obtenu, en correspondance avec les fig.2 et fig.4, sont respectivement représentées en traits régulièrement discontinus et en traits continus.This blank is advantageously made of semi-rigid material, preferably waterproof. To clarify the modalities of folding the blank to form the container, it will be noted in FIGS. 1 and FIG. 3 that the external edges and the internal edges of the container obtained, in correspondence with FIGS. 2 and FIG. 4, are respectively shown in regularly broken lines and in solid lines.
On notera aussi dès à présent qu'un tel flan est agencé pour être équipé de moyens de maintien en conformation, tel que constitués d'un lacet 17, visible sur les fig.4 et fig.5, circulant à travers des ouvertures, telles que 18, au moins ménagées dans les zones latérales 9 à 12 du flan. On relèvera cependant que de manière analogue, les moyens de mise en conformation et de fermeture du conteneur peuvent être constitués de l'un quelconque des moyens comprenant un lacet, une bague, un clip, des organes de serrage coopérant par emboîtement ou encore un filin rigide.It will also be noted as of now that such a blank is designed to be equipped with means for holding in conformation, such as consisting of a lace 17, visible in FIGS. 4 and FIG. 5, flowing through openings, such as 18, at least formed in the lateral zones 9 to 12 of the blank. It will however be noted that in a similar manner, the means for shaping and closing the container may consist of any of the means comprising a lace, a ring, a clip, clamping members cooperating by interlocking or else a rope. rigid.
On relèvera que le conteneur proposé par la présente invention est plus particulièrement agencé pour l'emballage des compositions florales ou analogues, sans pour autant que cette destination particulière indiquée soit restrictive quant à d'autres destinations possibles du conteneur proposé.It will be noted that the container proposed by the present invention is more particularly arranged for the packaging of floral compositions or the like, without however this particular destination indicated being restrictive as to other possible destinations of the proposed container.
Selon la présente invention, un tel flan est reconnaissable en ce que les zones de jonction 13 à 16 sont repliables en soufflet, tels que 19, vers l'extérieur du conteneur, tandis que les zones latérales 9 à 12 comportent des lignes d'affaiblissement, telles que 5. On comprendra que ces lignes d'affaiblissement peuvent être indifféremment marquées par des lignes de fragilisation du flan, et/ou être marquées spontanément à partir du replie du flan lors de la formation du conteneur. Ces dispositions sont telles que les parois latérales 9 à 12 du conteneur peuvent être rabattues en direction les unes des autres au voisinage du sommet du conteneur, de manière à fermer au moins partiellement son débouché, avantageusement par les moyens 17,18 de maintien de mise en conformation du conteneur.According to the present invention, such a blank is recognizable in that the junction zones 13 to 16 are foldable in bellows, such as 19, towards the outside of the container, while the lateral zones 9 to 12 have lines of weakness. , such as 5. It will be understood that these weakening lines can be indifferently marked by lines of weakness of the blank, and / or be spontaneously marked from the fold of the blank during the formation of the container. These arrangements are such that the side walls 9 to 12 of the container can be folded down in the direction of one another in the vicinity of the top of the container, so as to at least partially close its outlet, advantageously by the means 17,18 for keeping the setting in conformation of the container.
Par ailleurs, le repli des zones de jonction 13 à 16 en soufflets 19 orientés vers l'extérieur du conteneur lui confère en premier lieu une robustesse et une tenue naturelle satisfaisante, les zones de jonction 13 à 16 repliées en soufflet 19 constituant des ailes de rigidification externes intercalées entre les bords sensiblement adjacents des parois latérales 9 à 12 du conteneur.Furthermore, the folding of the junction zones 13 to 16 in bellows 19 oriented towards the outside of the container firstly gives it robustness and a satisfactory natural behavior, the junction zones 13 to 16 folded in bellows 19 constituting wings of external stiffening interposed between the substantially adjacent edges of the side walls 9 to 12 of the container.
En second lieu, un tel replie des zones de jonction 13 à 16 confère au conteneur une assise stable au regard de la charge qu'il est éventuellement destiné à soutenir au voisinage de son sommet, en raison d'une part de la faculté offerte d'une extension en saillie des soufflets 19 vers, voire au- delà du périmètre du polygone de la zone centrale 8 du flan destiné à former le fond du conteneur, tel qu'illustré sur les fig.4 et fig.5, et d'autre part par une mise en conformation du volume intérieur utile du conteneur évasé vers le bas, à partir du rabat les unes vers les autres de ses parois latérales 9 à 12 au voisinage du sommet du conteneur. Ces dispositions sont telles encore que le conteneur présente un aspect extérieur particulier séduisant pour la clientèle ne faisant néanmoins pas obstacle à ses fonctionnalités techniques. Cet aspect extérieur résulte de l'alternance d'organes en saillie, formés par les soufflets 19, entretoisés par les parois latérales 9 à 12 qui délimitent le volume intérieur du conteneur globalement évasé vers le bas, son débouché supérieur étant rétréci par rapport à son fond, tandis que son aspect extérieur général apparent latéralement est évasé vers le haut.Secondly, such a folding of the junction zones 13 to 16 gives the container a stable base with regard to the load which it is possibly intended to support in the vicinity of its top, due in part to the faculty offered by 'a projecting extension of the bellows 19 towards or even beyond the perimeter of the polygon of the central zone 8 of the blank intended to form the bottom of the container, as illustrated in fig.4 and fig.5, and on the other hand by shaping the useful interior volume of the flared container downwards, from the flap towards each other of its side walls 9 to 12 in the vicinity of the top of the container. These provisions are also such that the container has a particular external appearance which is attractive to customers, but which does not, however, prevent its technical functionality. This external appearance results from the alternation of projecting members, formed by the bellows 19, braced by the side walls 9 to 12 which delimit the interior volume of the container which is generally flared downwards, its upper outlet being narrowed relative to its bottom, while its general external appearance which is visible laterally is flared upwards.
Enfin, le conteneur ainsi formé présente un pourtour lui conférant un aspect étoile vu de dessus, tel que visible sur la fig.5, et vue latéralement, une alternance de zones d'ombrage et de saillies effilées latéralement. On relèvera enfin, toujours concernant l'aspect extérieur du conteneur, que son débouché supérieur est en outre préférentiellement rehaussé d'une collerette 20. Ainsi et selon un autre aspect de l'invention, les zones latérales 9 à 13 du flan comportent chacune à leur extrémité extérieure un prolongement tel que 21 , comportant au moins une ligne de fragilisation 6,7 de manière à être repliable en becquet 22.Finally, the container thus formed has a periphery giving it a star appearance seen from above, as visible in FIG. 5, and seen from the side, alternating shading zones and laterally tapered projections. Finally, it will also be noted, still concerning the external appearance of the container, that its upper outlet is also preferably enhanced by a flange 20. Thus and according to another aspect of the invention, the lateral zones 9 to 13 of the blank each have their outer end an extension such as 21, comprising at least one weakening line 6,7 so as to be foldable in spoiler 22.
Ces dispositions sont telles que les becquets 22 forment conjointement la collerette 20, en association avec le sommet des zones de jonction 13 à 16 repliées en soufflet 19 vers l'extérieur. Il en ressort que la collerette 20 est un organe continu bordant le pourtour du débouché au moins partiellement fermé du conteneur, ce qui confère à ce dernier une faculté à soutenir efficacement la partie visible d'une composition florale en un quelconque point de celle-ci. Par ailleurs, le caractère continu de la collerette 20 participe de l'aspect étoile du sommet du conteneur. De préférence, les lignes d'affaiblissement 2 des zones latérales 9 à 12 du flan et les lignes de fragilisation 6,7 de mise en conformation en becquet 22 des prolongements 21 des zones latérales 9 à 12, sont sensiblement convergentes en une zone 23, pour un pas altérer la régularité de la conformation générale du conteneur, et de ce fait ne pas porter atteinte à sa stabilité et l'équilibre de son aspect extérieur général.These arrangements are such that the spoilers 22 jointly form the flange 20, in association with the top of the junction zones 13 to 16 folded in bellows 19 outwards. It appears that the flange 20 is a continuous member bordering the periphery of the at least partially closed outlet of the container, which gives the latter an ability to effectively support the visible part of a floral composition at any point thereof. . Furthermore, the continuous nature of the collar 20 participates in the star appearance of the top of the container. Preferably, the weakening lines 2 of the lateral zones 9 to 12 of the blank and the weakening lines 6,7 of shaping into a spoiler 22 of the extensions 21 of the lateral zones 9 to 12, are substantially convergent in a zone 23, for one step to alter the regularity of the general conformation of the container, and therefore not to affect its stability and the balance of its general external appearance.
Les moyens de maintien en conformation du conteneur étant constitués par un lacet 17 circulant à travers des orifices 18 ménagés dans le flan, ces orifices 18 sont de préférence ménagés tant dans les zones latérales 9 à 12 que dans les zones de jonction 13 à 16, tel que sur l'exemple illustré sur la fig.3. Ces dispositions sont telles que les moyens 17,18 de maintien en conformation du conteneur, qui constituent en outre d'une manière générale telle que susvisé des moyens de fermeture au moins partielle de son débouché, maintiennent conjointement chacune de ses zones latérales 9 à 12 et de ses zones de jonction 13 à 16 repliées en soufflet 19. De préférence, les orifices 18 de passage du lacetThe means for maintaining the conformation of the container being constituted by a lace 17 flowing through orifices 18 formed in the blank, these orifices 18 are preferably formed both in the lateral zones 9 to 12 and in the junction zones 13 to 16, as in the example illustrated in fig. 3. These provisions are such that the means 17, 18 for keeping the container in shape, which furthermore generally constitute, as mentioned above, means for at least partially closing its outlet, jointly maintain each of its lateral zones 9 to 12 and its junction zones 13 to 16 folded in bellows 19. Preferably, the holes 18 for passing the lace
17 sont ménagés en deçà des prolongements 21 pour la formation des becquets 22. Ces dispositions visent en premier lieu à ne pas gêner la formation de la collerette 20 ni encombrer son environnement proche par la présence du lacet 17 à son travers, et en deuxième lieu à renforcer la mise en relief esthétique de la collerette 20, en faisant apparaître à sa base un collier augmentant sa mise en évidence.17 are provided below extensions 21 for the formation of spoilers 22. These provisions aim firstly not to interfere with the formation of the collar 20 or to clutter its close environment by the presence of the lace 17 through it, and secondly to strengthen the aesthetic highlighting of the collar 20, by making it appear at its base a necklace increasing its highlighting.
Sur les exemples illustrés sur les figures, les lignes de fragilisation 3,4 des zones de jonction 13 à 16, voire aussi les lignes d'affaiblissement 5 sur l'exemple illustré sur la fig.3, sont sensiblement convergentes vers les angles du polygone de la zone centrale 8 du flan. Plus précisément, cette convergence est préférentiellement effectuée vers un segment secondaire, tel que 24, marqué ou non, ménagé dans les angles du polygone.In the examples illustrated in the figures, the weakening lines 3, 4 of the junction zones 13 to 16, or even also the weakening lines 5 in the example illustrated in FIG. 3, are substantially convergent towards the angles of the polygon of the central area 8 of the blank. More precisely, this convergence is preferably carried out towards a secondary segment, such as 24, marked or not, formed in the angles of the polygon.
Ces dispositions visent à éviter la formation d'un point de rupture du flan dans cette zone, pouvant porter atteinte à l'étanchéité du conteneur. On comprendra aussi que la conformation polygonale du flan peut comporter un quelconque nombre de côté, cette conformation polygonale pouvant être de préférence l'une quelconque des conformations comprenant le triangle, le carré, le rectangle, l'hexagone ou l'octogone, voire un polygone à plus de huit côtés, voire selon une forme extrême de réalisation, avec un nombre de côtés jusqu'à tendre à une conformation circulaire.These provisions are intended to prevent the formation of a blank break point in this area, which could affect the tightness of the container. It will also be understood that the polygonal conformation of the blank may include any number of sides, this polygonal conformation can preferably be any of the conformations comprising the triangle, the square, the rectangle, the hexagon or the octagon, or even a polygon with more than eight sides, even according to an extreme embodiment, with a number of sides until reaching a circular conformation.
On comprendra encore que la conformation du périmètre du flan n'est pas obligatoirement placée sous la dépendance de la conformation du polygone, tel que sur l'exemple illustré sur la fig.3. En d'autres termes, le polygone du flan peut comporter N côtés tandis que son périmètre en comporter N', N étant différent de N'. Par exemple et selon une approche extrême de cette caractéristique, le périmètre du flan peut tendre à comporter une infinité de bords pour former un périmètre circulaire. On comprendra en cela que les bords extérieurs du flan, au moins pris en certaines zones, ne sont pas obligatoirement droits, sans déroger aux règles le concernant qui ont été exposées. It will also be understood that the conformation of the perimeter of the blank is not necessarily placed under the dependence of the conformation of the polygon, as in the example illustrated in FIG. 3. In other words, the blank polygon may have N sides while its perimeter may have N ', N being different from N'. For example, and according to an extreme approach to this characteristic, the perimeter of the blank may tend to have an infinity of edges to form a circular perimeter. It will be understood in this that the outer edges of the blank, at least taken in certain zones, are not necessarily straight, without derogating from the rules concerning it which have been exposed.
