Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging for grouped objects having at least one end portion having an outer cross section smaller than any similar section substantially parallel to the said section of another part of these objects, in particular packaging for ampoules, vials, vials, syringes, bottles.
  • One of the essential aims of the present invention is to present a type of packaging which makes it possible to remedy the abovementioned drawbacks and which, moreover, is of very competitive cost price.
  • the packaging according to the invention comprises a support in at least one of the faces of which are provided a series of housings in each of which can be maintained, in a removable manner, said end part of the aforementioned objects, the other part of the objects thus being situated on the outside of the support, the distance separating two adjacent housings being such that the objects can extend side by side when their end part is engaged at least partially in these housings.
  • the housings are located in the support at such a distance from each other that, when the objects to be packaged are placed with their end part in the housings, these objects can lean against each other, forming a substantially rigid whole with the support.
  • At least the area of the support laterally delimiting the housings is made of a somewhat elastic material, however having sufficient rigidity to be able, on the one hand, to elastically tighten the aforementioned extreme part of the objects to be packaged in the housings and, on the other hand, hold these objects in place when they are arranged side by side with their aforementioned end part in the housings.
  • the support consists of a semi-rigid cellular material, such as polyethylene, polyurethane, polystyrene, rubber, in which holes are formed forming the abovementioned housings.
  • the invention also relates to a method for implementing the aforementioned packaging.
  • This process is characterized by the fact that the objects to be packaged are placed substantially in the same arrangement as the distribution of the housings in the support with their aforementioned end portion facing upwards and that said aforementioned end portion is then brought closer upwards and the support until these end parts at least partially engage in the corresponding housings provided in the support.
  • the invention also relates to an installation for implementing this method which is characterized in that it comprises means for placing the objects to be packaged substantially according to the same arrangement as the distribution of the housings in a support with their aforementioned end part facing upwards and means for bringing said end part closer to these objects thus arranged and a support until these end parts engage at least partially in the corresponding housings provided in this support.
  • the invention relates, in general, to packaging for objects grouped in variable numbers, as the case may be, of any kind and shape having at least one end portion having an external cross section less than one any analogous section substantially parallel to the above section of another part of these objects, it is above all a packaging for ampoules, vials, vials, syringes, bottles, said end portion of which is formed by their neck, neck or any narrowed end.
  • this packaging comprises a support 1, consisting of a plate generally of rectangular, square shape, or a prism, in at least one of the faces 2 of which are provided a series of housings 3, a narrowed and substantially conical end 4 of a series of identical bulbs 5 which can be maintained, in a removable manner in each of these housings 3.
  • the very body 6 of these bulbs having a cylindrical shape, is located on the outside of the plate 1.
  • the distance separating two adjacent housings is such that the bodies 6 of the bulbs 5 extend side by side, preferably so as to be able to bear against one another when their conical end 4 is engaged in the housings 3.
  • the housings 3 are constituted by cylindrical holes, which preferably pass completely through the support plate 1.
  • the distance "d" or the thickness of material between two holes neighbors is substantially equal to the mean outside diameter of the narrowed end 4 of the bulbs 5.
  • the support plate 1 is preferably made of a semi-rigid cellular material, such as polyurethane, polyethylene, polystyrene, rubber, in which the aforementioned holes are made 3.
  • the narrowed ends 4 of the bulbs can be clamped in the holes 3 if their diameter is slightly less than that of the maximum diameter of this narrowed end 4.
  • the support 1 is made of a cellular material, the internal walls of the holes 3 have a more or less rough appearance, which increases the power of gripping and retaining said narrowed ends 4 in these holes 3 .
  • the holes 3 extend in the support plate in rows parallel to the sides of the plate, while a line or zone of low mechanical resistance, formed by a cutout 7, extending from the face 2 of the plate 1 to a slight distance from the opposite face 8 of the latter, is provided between two consecutive rows of holes.
  • FIG. 2 makes it possible to illustrate in a more concrete way a particular method of assembly, in which use is made of the packaging as described above.
  • FIG. 2 shows a set of ampoules 5 filled, sterilized, washed and mirrored, which move in their vertical position, one against the other, with their narrowed end 4 directed upwards, on a conveyor belt 9, eg, in the direction of arrow 10, to an assembly unit 11.
  • a support plate 1 is applied to this set of bulbs, as shown in FIG. 2 by the arrow 12, so that that the narrowed ends 4 of the latter engage simultaneously in the corresponding holes 3 provided in this plate.
  • the support plate 1 thus forms with this set of bulbs 5 a united and compact block, relatively rigid and easy to handle, which can be put in boxes, transported or stacked without the need for taking special precautions.
  • each bulb is practically immobilized by the presence of neighboring bulbs and that any tipping e.g. is prevented.
  • the volume occupied by the support plate with the bulbs is reduced to the strict minimum and is much lower than that of traditional packaging, such as so-called “round packaging", in which the bulbs are placed horizontally and separately in cradles. formed eg by a sheet of cardboard folded like slots and glued to a rigid base sheet.
  • the packaging according to the invention allows direct assembly of the bulbs in their vertical position by means of an assembly unit of an extremely simple design which is limited to applying the support plate in a horizontal position on the free ends 4 of the bulbs at the moment when these arise in the assembly unit.
  • This packaging can therefore be integrated at any cost into any production chain, whatever its degree of automaticity.
  • the thickness of the support plate 1 preferably corresponds at least to the length of the narrowed end 4 of the bulbs 5, so that this end can be fully engaged in the corresponding holes 3 and that the shoulders 6 ′ of the body 6 of the bulbs can possibly rest on the face 2 of the plate thus ensuring maximum stability of the bulbs on the latter.
  • the packaging according to the invention can also serve as a display from which the bulbs can be extracted one by one as and when required.
  • Figures 3 to 8 relate to a particular installation for assembling a group of bulbs 5 with a support plate 1.
  • This installation comprises supply and storage means 13 for placing the bulbs 5 in substantially the same arrangement as the distribution of the housings 3 in a support plate 1 with their aforementioned end part 4 facing upwards and assembly means. 14 comprising a vertical piston 22 oriented downwards making it possible to apply a support plate 1, on said narrowed end part 4 of the bulbs 5 thus arranged until these parts 4 engage at least partially in the corresponding holes 3 provided in plate 1.
  • the width of the corridors 15 and 18 corresponds substantially to the diameter of the bulbs and is preferably 0.2 to 0.3 mm larger than this diameter.
  • the corridors 18 are located in relation to the corridor 15, so that, when the corridor 15 is filled with a predetermined quantity of ampoules 5, that is to say in the present case 10, the latter are each located facing an entrance to the corridors 18 to engage there under the action of the jack 16.
  • the bottom 20 ′ of the corridor 15 opposite its inlet 20 has a very sensitive detector or trigger 21, which as soon as a bulb touches it makes it possible to actuate the pushing mechanism 16 and to move the bulbs located in the corridor 15 towards the storage tray 17.
  • the piston 22, therefore being mounted above the storage tray 17, is movable vertically between two extreme positions: a position rest, in which the piston is at a slightly higher distance from the plate 17, eg from 2 to 3 mm, from the sum of the height of the bulbs 5 and the thickness of the support plate and a working position, in which the piston 2 undergoes a displacement towards the plate 17 by a distance such that it makes it possible to apply a support plate 1 to the narrowed parts of the bulbs 5.
  • the bulbs 5 move intermittently in the corridor 15 in the direction of the arrow 15 ′ each time by a distance corresponding to the diameter of the bulbs by means of a jack 30 moving along the axis of the corridor 15 between an advanced position and a retracted position, the distance between these two positions therefore being equal to the diameter of the bulbs.
  • these positions must be located at a distance from the detector 21 which is a multiple of the diameter of the bulbs, so as to be able to introduce exactly the aforementioned predetermined number into the corridor 15 between its inlet 20 and its bottom 20 ′.
  • the storage tray 17 comprises a drawer 23 cooperating with a jack 58 so as to be able to be moved in a direction substantially parallel to the corridor 15, as shown by the arrow 29, between a loading position, in which the drawer 23 is located laterally opposite the corridor 15, below the piston 22 so as to allow the passage of the bulbs 5 from the corridor 15 to the different corridors 18, as shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 5, and 7, and, on the other hand, a position of unloading in which the drawer 23 is completely beyond the corridor 15, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8.
  • a support member 24 is shown on one of the ends of guide rods 31 and can slide in the direction of the arrows 32 ′ in a support block 32 above the drawer 23, in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the drawer, over the entire width of the latter.
  • this member The function of this member is to laterally support the bulbs 5 of the front outer row, seen in the direction of movement on the drawer, as the bulbs advance on it in the direction of arrow 16 ′ under the action of jack 16, as explained above.
  • the installation also comprises a magazine 28 located against the assembly means 14, on the side opposite to the introduction corridor 15, in which support plates 1 are stored one on top of the other.
  • This magazine 28 has a horizontal section whose dimensions correspond substantially to the dimensions of the large faces of these plates and is mounted above a charger 25.
  • This charger 25 makes it possible to bring the support plates 1, superimposed in this magazine, one by one below the piston 22.
  • the loader 25 comprises a jack 33 mounted at the base of the magazine 28 on the side opposite to the assembly means and having a piston 34 movable horizontally in the direction of the arrows 35 between an entry position of rest, as shown in the figures 4 and 5, and an extended working position, as shown in FIG. 7.
  • the lower support plate in the magazine 28 rests on two lateral rails 37 provided on the interior walls of the magazine parallel to the direction of movement 35 of the piston 34, at the bottom of this magazine and possibly on the table 36 when the latter is located. below magazine 28, as shown in Figures 4 and 5.
  • this table 36 is especially useful for bringing a lower support plate of the magazine 28 below the piston 22. In fact, at this moment, this plate is pushed out of the magazine by the piston 34 and can thus rest freely on this table 36.
  • Retaining members formed in this case by projecting balls 38, are provided laterally below the piston 22 at the same level as that of the lower support plate of the magazine 28.
  • These balls 38 are mounted on springs, not shown, so as to be able to return somewhat under the action of a support plate pushed below the piston 22, in order to manage to maintain the latter temporarily in place under this piston 22 when the table 36 is pushed back to its position below the magazine 28.
  • FIGS. 3 to 8 further comprises cutting members formed by knives 56 which can be dismantled and / or retracted mounted on a ramp 41 above the drawer 23 between the loading and unloading positions of this last, as defined above, and at a height relative to the drawer slightly greater than the total height of the bulbs assembled with a support plate.
  • ejection means 26 for the bulbs assembled, by a support plate 1 are provided which allow this set of bulbs to slide at the bottom of the drawer 23, in the longitudinal direction of the corridors 18 on a fixed receiving plate 45 preferably having corridors 46 similar to those of the drawer 23, as clearly shown in FIGS. 3 and 8.
  • These ejection means 26 comprise a jack 42 whose piston 43 can push on the assembled bulbs 5, in the direction indicated by the arrow 44 in this FIG. 8.
  • Cutting members 27, substantially similar to cutting members 56, also removable and / or retractable, are mounted on a ramp 40 substantially at the same level as the latter, between the drawer 23 in its unloading position and the receiving plate 45.
  • the cutting members 27 thus make it possible to cut the support plate 1 fixed on a set of bulbs 5 in the direction of the arrow 44 during sliding, under the action of the piston 43, of this set, that is to say -to say in a direction perpendicular to the cut obtained by the organs 56.
  • a support plate 47 resp. 48 beyond these members substantially at the same level as the latter and therefore above the bulbs assembled in a support plate 1, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8.
  • the storage tray 17, preferably includes, in addition to a movable drawer 23, a fixed part 50 located between the passage 15 and the drawer 23, when the latter is in its loading position, as shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 5, and 7.
  • grooves 49 are provided in the underside of the piston 22 intended to press on the support, these grooves extending at a distance "d" from each other (see FIG. 1) so that, if the ends of the bulbs protrude from the support plate under the action of the piston 22, these ends can engage in these grooves 49 without coming into contact with the very surface of the piston 22.
  • the various jacks mentioned above are so-called “magnetic” jacks, which have the advantage of starting a jack only when the movement of the jack having to operate beforehand is completely finished. Furthermore, with such cylinders, it is possible to regulate the triggering in a very precise manner.
  • the drawer 23 is advantageously mounted on a linear ball bearing to reduce friction to the strict minimum.
  • this row is moved in the direction of the arrow 16 ′, thanks to the cylinder 16, a distance substantially equal to the diameter of the bulbs so that this row arrives on the fixed plate 50 by pushing the rows previously formed by the same distance in the same direction as that of the arrow 16 ′.
  • a new row of the same number of bulbs is then formed in the corridor 15 thus freed and, in the same way, this last row is again moved on the plate 50 by pushing all of the previous ones by a distance equal to the diameter light bulbs.
  • the first row also called row front
  • the support member 24 which recedes as rows of bulbs are formed on this drawer by the thrust of the jack 16.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates the moment when the first row of bulbs, which is supported by the support member 24, will pass from the fixed plate 50 onto the drawer 23.
  • FIG. 5 shows the moment when the drawer 23 is completely filled with bulbs, that is to say the moment when the number of bulbs provided on the latter corresponds to the number of housings 3 provided in the support.
  • FIG. 5 shows the piston in its lowered position.
  • the fixed plate 50 and the drawer 23 have edges 52 parallel to the corridors 18, as shown in FIG. 6.
  • a buffer zone formed by a number of bulbs arranged in the same configuration as the housings 3 in the support plate 1.
  • This buffer zone makes it possible to attenuate the shock of the push by the jack 16, also to avoid the tilting of the bulbs towards the front on the storage tray 17 and also to keep the bulbs in the corridors 18 well against each other. other.
  • the speed with which these bulbs enter the corridor 15 is determined, in this case, by the speed with which the bulbs come out of the mirror. In the event that the flow rate with which the bulbs exit the mirror is greater than that with which they can enter the installation according to the invention, it is it is possible either to use several installations in parallel, or to provide a buffer zone between the mireuse and the installation in which the bulbs can be placed on standby.
  • the speed with which the bulbs enter the corridor 15 is of the order of one second, it would result from this that the support member 24 would not have had time to return to the starting position in one second, so that, without the presence of a buffer zone of bulbs, these would not be maintained on the side of the drawer 23, would be positioned badly and would fall, if relatively sophisticated special precautions were not taken. Thanks to the presence of this buffer zone, the drawer 23 and the support member 24 have, in this specific case, 10 seconds to return to their initial position shown in FIG. 4, that is to say up to '' that a complete row of 10 bulbs is formed in corridor 15.
  • the distance between the centers of the holes or housings 3 extending near the lateral edges of the support plates 1 and these edges is substantially equal to the radius of the base of the bulbs for which this plate is designed.
  • the frame 53 carrying the piston could be in the form of a swan neck, with a possibility of adjusting its height relative to the drawer 23.
  • the storage tray 17 could be removable so that it can be replaced by another of different dimensions and the stroke of the different jacks could be adjustable.
  • the length of the support base 55 (see FIG. 3) of the jack 16 can be adjustable.
  • the width of the corridor 15 could be adjustable depending on the diameter of the bulbs to be assembled.
  • the support does not necessarily have to consist of a plate but could have very varied shapes and dimensions.
  • housings which can also be of square shape, presenting themselves as notches in the shape of cross or stars etc, according to the shape and the dimensions of the extreme part of the objects intended to be introduced into these accommodations.
  • the objects could also be staggered, which, in certain cases, could further reduce the volume occupied by a group of objects mounted on a support according to the invention.
