Definitions

  • the invention relates to a foldable U-profile and more particularly to a profile cardboard, its manufacturing process and an installation for the implementation of the process.
  • European patent 0 411 045 describes for example a packaging container to pack long articles and which has two U-shaped profiles fitted one in the other.
  • the only known method is to laminate the strips to each other flat, then by a succession of profiling and forming stations, to make two main folds on the product in flat band, to execute the operation gradually folding so as to finally obtain a profile whose cross section is U-shaped.
  • the laminated layers are quickly linked to each other by powerful bonds coming either from the action of the glue used in the case of cardboard strips, or the sticky action of the flame-heated polyethylene in the case of strips of cardboard-polyethylene complexes.
  • the U-profile thus obtained by this technique is rigid and the angle formed between the bottom of the U and each of its two side wings is generally close to 90 ° and cannot be changed as soon as the tackifier is taken.
  • a modification significant of this angle and a spacing of the wings in a perpendicular direction to the longitudinal axis of the profile causes a deterioration of said U-shaped profile, by delamination of the bands constituting it, and consequently, the impossibility of use it.
  • the U-profiles obtained by this technique are difficult to stack unlike, for example, L-shaped profiles.
  • the only known technique for stacking in order to minimize the space requirement consists of arranging the U-shaped profiles head to tail two by two, i.e. each section overlaps one of the wings of a other profile.
  • the unit transport cost is all the more important as the profiles have large dimensions.
  • the object of the present invention is in particular to overcome this drawback and to optimize the stacking of profiles, by eliminating or reducing as much as possible the volumes dead regardless of the dimensions of the profiles
  • the invention proposes a U-shaped profile. comprising a bottom and two side wings, which is particularly remarkable in that it is provided at its bottom with a longitudinal fold line, in particular located substantially in the vicinity of the center line of the said bottom, so that the latter can fold inwards at the same time as the wings flare, so that that the profile can take a substantially W shape at will, thus facilitating its stacking in particular for its storage and / or transport.
  • the invention also provides a method of manufacturing such a U-shaped profile, which is remarkable in that it consists in providing during the manufacture of the profile, a step of forming a longitudinal fold line in the bottom of said profile.
  • the folding line is produced on a flat semi-finished product, before making the wings of the profile by folding.
  • the invention proposes to produce the fold line by a grooving operation.
  • This grooving operation can be carried out, for example, by driving in without removal of material, or by milling with removal of material, or again by incision on the internal face of the bottom.
  • the fold line is reinforced on at least one of the faces of the bottom of the profile by an added reinforcing strip.
  • the invention proposes place the reinforcement strip over the incision, leaving a folded down to allow the profile to be folded.
  • the reinforcing strip is wrapped with the reinforcing strip a large part of the profile with the exception of at least part of one of the faces of the bottom of said section at the fold line of the latter.
  • the invention proposes yet another method which is remarkable in that it consists of connecting two L-shaped profiles which are joined together by one of their wings by means of a connecting strip fixed on said wings.
  • the invention also proposes an installation for the implementation of the process which is remarkable in that it comprises, in addition to the known stations of production of a U-shaped profile, a grooving station designed to make a groove longitudinal on the part of the profile to constitute the bottom of said U-shaped profile.
  • Figure 1 schematically shows a stack of several profiles in U classics.
  • the profiles are associated here in pairs with a head-to-tail arrangement by overlap.
  • FIG. 2 shows a stack of profiles according to the invention and we can see how such profiles allow optimized stacking by ensuring a very significant gain in space.
  • FIGS 3, 4 and 5 show three embodiments according to the invention.
  • the profiles 1 shown in said Figures 3, 4 and 5 are U-shaped and consist of a bottom 1a and two side wings 1b and 1c.
  • the bottom 1a has in the vicinity from its center line and over its entire length a fold line 2, 2 ', 2 "intended to be behave like a hinge.
  • the said fold line could be offset from said center line.
  • Each fold line shown 2, 2 ', 2 " is shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5 in the form of a groove (word to be considered in its broadest sense), the groove 2 in FIG. 3 being produced by pressing in the material with its side concave on the internal face of the bottom 1a of the profile, the groove 2 ′ being produced by removal of material on the external face of the bottom 1a of the profile and the groove 2 "being produced by incision made on the internal face of the bottom 1a of the profile.
  • the profiles are partly produced in a known manner, for example from strong strips or sheets, especially of cardboard or in the form of a complex cardboard-polyolefins, which are laminated together.
  • the folding line according to the invention is produced during manufacture when the product is still in flat form, i.e. before the wings made by folding.
  • FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 which figures show the machining of a semi-finished product 3 in strip taken between two means rotary respectively 4, 5; 6, 7; 8, 9.
  • the means 4, 5 of Figure 6 are in the form of rollers or cylinders which respectively have a circumferential projection 4 'for one and a corresponding groove 5 'for the other so as to allow a depression of the material in order to obtain a profile according to fig 3.
  • the means 7 and 9 of FIGS. 7 and 8 are smooth rollers or cylinders
  • the means 6 is a milling system, that is to say with material removal
  • the medium 8 a roller provided with a circular knife 8 'intended to make an incision in the thickness of the material, the stations shown in Figures 7 and 8 being intended to make profiles according to Figures 4 and 5 respectively.
  • the shaping stations shown in Figures 6, 7 and 8 are arranged between two conventional U-shaped profile manufacturing stations, such as gluing and pressing strips, stations for shaping (folding the wings), any positions for wrapping, cut-off positions, etc.
  • the invention relates not only to U-shaped profiles provided with a line folding 2, 2 ', 2 "formed on the bottom 1a of the profile, but therefore also the process of manufacturing and the means for its implementation.
  • the profiles thus obtained can take a storage and / or transport position in W, as shown in particular on the Figure 2, simply by spreading the wings 1b, 1c from each other, while being able to safe to resume a position of use in U in order, for example, to make a packaging container made from two U-shaped sections, one nested in the other be.
  • the invention proposes numerous embodiments as shown in particular Figures 9 to 20, the drawings noted (a) representing, as already said, the profiles in position of use and the drawings noted (b) the profiles in position storage and / or transport.
  • Figure 9 shows a profile of the type of that of Figure 3 with a groove by sinking (which could also be carried out with a concavity on the external face of the bottom 1a).
  • Figure 10 shows a profile of the type of that of Figure 4 with a groove made by removing material.
  • Figure 11 shows an embodiment similar to that of Figure 10 but in which the groove has been produced on the internal face of the bottom of the profile.
  • Figures 12 and 13 correspond respectively to Figures 10 and 11 but in these embodiments, the fold line has been reinforced by a strip of reinforcement 10, 10 'applied to the face of the bottom of the profile which is opposite to the face for> view of the groove forming the fold line.
  • the strip of reinforcement 10 is applied only part of the bottom width, but it could be applied over the entire width of said bottom.
  • Figure 14 which corresponds to Figure 13, however shows an envelope 11 which reinforces the fold line, while enveloping a large part of the profile with the exception of the bottom face provided with the groove, such a wrapping being able to further have a stiffening effect and / or an aesthetic purpose.
  • Figure 15 shows a profile of the type of that of Figure 5 with a line of folding or grooving made by incision.
  • Figures 16 and 17 show profiles with grooves made also by incision but with reinforcement strips respectively 12, 12 'applied on the bottom side with the incision (figure 16) or on the opposite side, respectively to that provided with said incision (Figure 17) in a corresponding manner in this last case in figure 13.
  • the invention proposes a interesting feature.
  • the reinforcing strip 12 has a fold at the level of the incision groove.
  • Figure 18 shows a profile with a groove like those in the figures 15 to 17 and corresponds to FIG. 14 as for the envelope referenced here 13.
  • FIG. 19 proposes a very particular embodiment, in which the U-shaped profile is obtained from two 1 ', 1 "L-shaped profiles joined together by the edge of one of their wings by means of an attached joining strip 14 for example by gluing on one of the faces of said wings, as the figure 19.
  • the invention naturally relates to other possible embodiments than those represented, such as, for example, the embodiment of FIG. 9 with a reinforcing strip, the embodiment of FIG. 19 with a joining strip more enveloping, etc.
