Definitions

• the present invention relates to an improved packaging provided with a handle and to a method for manufacturing this packaging.
• a packaging of the type comprising a metallic body of revolution provided with an upper end, access to the interior of the packaging, and a lower end carrying a bottom, a metal ring provided with an external edge set on the upper end of the body and an internal edge defining an access opening inside the packaging, and a grip handle.
• the handle is provided with ends articulated on the body of the package by means of cabochons attached to the external surface of this body or of pivots fixed in bores of this body.
• cabochons attached to the external surface of this body or of pivots fixed in bores of this body.
• handle articulated in a hoop of the rolled edge which forms part of the ring at the upper end of the packaging (see for example US 1653 521).
• the subject of the invention is a packaging defined in claim 1.
• FIGS. 1 and 2 show a package according to the invention, designated by the general reference 10.
• the packaging 10 comprises a metal body 12, of general shape of revolution, for example cylindrical, provided with an upper end 14, with access to the interior of the packaging, and with a lower end 16 carrying a bottom 18.
• the packaging 10 also includes a metal ring 20 provided with an external edge 20E set on the upper end 14 of the body and an internal edge 20I defining an opening 22 for access to the interior of the packaging. It will be noted that the internal edge 20I of the ring is rolled towards the outside of the opening 22.
• the internal 20I and external 20E edges of the ring are separated by an annular central part 20C of this ring extending substantially radially from the periphery of the body 12 towards the axis X of revolution of this body 12.
• the opening 22 is closable, in a manner known per se, by means of a conventional re-entrant cover 24. If necessary, the cover 24 can be provided with a rubber seal.
• the packaging 10 also includes a handle 26, preferably metallic, provided with curved ends, forming pins 26E mounted articulated on the ring 20.
• the handle 26 is movable between an upright gripping position, as shown in the figure 1, and a folded position in abutment on the central part 20C of the ring, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
• the handle 26 in the folded position, is axially set back towards the lower end 16 of the body with respect to the internal 201 and external 20E edges of the ring.
• the handle 26 in the folded position does not partially mask the external decoration of the body 12, as is observed on the other hand on conventional packaging provided with a folding handle against their external surface.
• each pin 26E of the shackle is immobilized axially and angularly around the axis X by means coming integrally with the ring 20.
• each pin 26E is, on the one hand, immobilized axially by interlocking between the internal rolled edge 20I of the ring and the central part 20C of this ring, and on the other hand, immobilized angularly around the axis X, by interlocking between two bosses 28 formed on the central part 20C of the ring ( see in particular figure 2).
• an intermediate packaging 10I is first of all formed as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
• This intermediate packaging comprises the body 12 and the ring 20 set on the upper end 14 of this body.
• the ring 20 is provided with its internal edge 201 rolled outwards and its bosses 28 for angular positioning of the pins 26E formed on the central part 20C of the ring.
• each pin 26E of the handle is fitted between the central part 20C of the ring, the rolled internal edge 20I of this ring and the two bosses 28 for angular positioning, as shown in the figures 5 and 6. It will be noted that during this operation, the radial spacing between the external edges 20E and internal 20I of the ring is sufficient to allow the passage of the pins 26E.
• the crimped outer edge 20E of the ring is deformed, in the direction of the arrow D shown in FIG. 6, so as to form in this edge 20E a boss 30 associated with each pin 26E projecting towards the axis X.
• the bosses 30 and the pins 26E have for their common alignment plane a diametrical plane P of the body 12 (see FIG. 2).
• the bosses 30 locally reduce the radial spacing between the inner 20I and outer 20E edges of the ring so as to prevent the pins 26E from inadvertently dislodging from their housings delimited by, on the one hand, the central part 20C and the internal edge 20I of the ring, and on the other hand, the two pairs of bosses 28 formed in the central part 20C of the ring.
• the bottom 18 of the packaging is provided with a peripheral edge 18E crimped on the lower end 16 of the body 12 and a central part 18C recessed towards the upper end 14 of the body 12 relative to this crimped edge 18E .
• This allows the stacking of two identical packages 10 as shown in FIG. 3.
• the central part 18C set back from the bottom of the upper package forms a clearance in which extends, at least partially, the internal edge 20I of the ring and the cover 24 of the lower packaging.
• the lower edge 16 of the body of the upper packaging bears directly on the upper edge 14 of the body of the lower packaging.
• the handle 26 of the lower packaging in the folded position, does not interfere with the bottom 18 of the upper packaging because it is set back relative to the inner 20I and outer 20E edges of the ring. 20 of the lower packaging.
• the body of the package is not necessarily cylindrical but may be frustoconical, the upper end of the body having a diameter greater than that of the lower end of this body.
• the handle can be hung on the ring crimped onto the body of the packaging without using an additional part, which limits the cost price of the packaging all the more.
• the handle, pressing on the ring when it is in the folded position does not limit the possibilities of stacking identical packages.
• the method of mounting the handle on the ring is simple and easy to automate. This process makes it possible to avoid the usual welding or refinishing operations imposed by conventional techniques for mounting a handle on a metal packaging body.
• the packaging can be entirely metallic which facilitates its recycling.
