Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging for packaging a group of at least two containers, the packaging being of the type comprising at least at least one sheath extending longitudinally and comprising a wall upper, a lower wall, two side walls connecting the lower walls and higher, and at least one element for holding the containers, the element for support projecting from the bottom wall to be disposed between receptacles, the holding element comprising a flap cut in the wall lower and folded around a fold line, the flap being cut in the wall bottom of a first side of the fold line.
  • the invention applies, for example, to the packaging of jars of yogurt or compote.
  • the sheath is made of cardboard and the bottom wall is made of two half-walls fixed to each other.
  • the holding element is a beam which extends longitudinally between two rows of pots and which is formed from a shutter cut in the edge of a first of the lower half-walls.
  • the flap is folded relative to the first lower half-wall around a fold line and is attached to the other lower half-wall.
  • the beam is located on the same side of the fold line as that where the shutter has been cut.
  • Such a holding element structure requires the use of a lot of cardboard, especially more than if the bottom wall was made of only one part.
  • An object of the invention is to solve this problem by providing a packaging of the aforementioned type in which the structure of the holding element reduces the cost of packaging.
  • the subject of the invention is a packaging of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the flap is folded and fixed relative to the bottom wall of the side opposite the first side with respect to the fold line.
  • the subject of the invention is also an assembly comprising a group of at least two containers and a packaging conditioning the group, characterized in that the packaging is a packaging as defined above.
  • the invention further relates to a cardboard blank previously cut and provided with grooves, characterized in that it is adapted to form the sheath of a package as defined above.
  • FIG. 1 represents a set 1 comprising a group 2 of eight yogurt pots 3 and packaging 4.
  • the pots 3 are identical, arranged vertically and for example have a general frustoconical shape converging downwards. As illustrated by example in Figure 2, the pots 3 each have their open end upper an annular rim 6 and a circular cover 7 closing this open end.
  • pots 3 have been shown in phantom in Figures 1 and 2 and some pots 3 have not been shown for more visibility.
  • the pots 3 are arranged in two superimposed levels, namely a lower level of four pots 3, and an upper level of four pots 3.
  • the pots 3 of the upper level each surmount a pot 3 of the level inferior.
  • the four pots 3 are regularly arranged in two rows 10 extending in a longitudinal direction L of the package 4.
  • the packaging 4 comprises an outer sheath 11 which envelops externally group 2, and a spacer 12 arranged between the lower level and the upper level of pots 3.
  • the fold line 17 is interrupted by two cutouts 35 formed in the right side wall 16. These cutouts 35 define two ledges 36 extending the upper wall 15 and two clearances 37 substantially rectangular.
  • Two openings 38 in the form of a disc sector are provided in the lower region 23 of the right side wall 16.
  • Two oblong slots 40 are formed substantially in the center of the lower wall 25, opposite the openings 38.
  • Two cutouts 41 are provided in the lower region 31 of the left side wall 27 and in the bottom wall 25. These cutouts 41 each comprise a section 42 in an arc formed in the region 31.
  • the sections 42 have for example a shape corresponding to the outline of the openings 38.
  • the sections 42 are each extended by two sections end curves 44 which extend in the bottom wall 25 towards the slots 40.
  • the cutouts 41 define two flaps 46 which are connected to the wall lower 25 by fold lines 48 which are each understood between the ends of the two sections 44 of the corresponding cutout 41.
  • Each flap 46 is therefore cut on the left side (at the top on the Figure 3) of the corresponding fold line 48.
  • Each flap 46 comprises from the fold line 48 corresponding four successive panels 50, 52, 54, 56 separated by longitudinal fold lines 58.
  • the panel 56 furthest from the fold line 48 referred to as the end panel suite, has a disc sector shape.
  • the fold line 33 is interrupted by two cutouts 60 in U which delimit flanges 62 extending the fixing flap 32.
  • the flaps 46 are folded from the side to the left of fold lines 48 to the side to the right of these.
  • the end panels 56 are glued to the bottom wall 25, at right of the fold lines 48 and beyond the oblong slots 40.
  • the panels 50, 52, 54 and 56 are then folded with respect to the others around the fold lines 58 substantially at right angles, such as illustrated by figure 1.
  • Each flap 46 thus forms a beam 64 of substantially section square.
  • this section can be rectangular.
  • Beam 64 is located to the right of the corresponding fold line 48, while the flap 46 has been cut to the left of this fold line 48.
  • the side walls 16 and 27 are folded upwards relative to the bottom wall 25.
  • beams 64 has cleared in the lower region 31 of the left side wall 27 two openings 38 of shape corresponding to that openings 38 in the lower region 23 of the side wall right 16.
  • the lower ends of the lower 3 pots are engaged in the openings 38 of the right side wall 16 and of the left side wall 27, in thus ensuring a longitudinal retention of the lower pots 3 relative to the scabbard 11.
  • the two beams 64 project upwards from the bottom wall 25 between the right and left rows of the lower 3 pots.
  • the beam 64 before in Figure 1 is disposed between the pots 3 lower front, and the rear beam 64 is disposed between the lower pots 3 back.
  • the beams 64 transversely hold the lower pots 3 and flatten them in particular at the bottom of the openings 38.
  • the upper flap 32 is folded relative to the left side wall 27 and glued under the upper wall 15 which is itself folded relative to the wall right side 16.
  • Two oblong slots 92 are provided in the center of the wall central 74 one behind the other.
  • a female tab 94 is cut in the central wall 74 on the left of each slot 92 and a male tab 96 is cut in the central wall 74 to the right of each slot 92.
  • the female legs 94 and the male legs 96 have substantially inverted U shapes. They are connected to the rest of the central wall 74 by longitudinal fold lines 98 arranged at the ends of the arms of the legs 94 and 96.
  • a notch 100 in the form of a disk sector is provided in each female leg 94.
  • Each male leg 96 is extended by a shaped tongue 102 half disc.
  • the interlayer 12 is disposed inside the sheath 11 and the wall central 74 covers the lower 3 pots while the upper 3 pots rest on the central wall 74.
  • the upper edges 6 of the lower pots 3 are each engaged in an opening 104 thereby ensuring a longitudinal retention of the pots 3 lower than tab 12.
  • each slot 92 The legs 94 and 96 bordering each slot 92 are folded one towards the other above the central wall 74 to form a retaining element 106 in the shape of a trestle.
  • the tongue 102 of the male tab 96 is then engaged in the notch 100 of the female tab 94 thereby ensuring the holding of the element restraint 106.
  • the two retaining elements 106 thus formed are arranged one behind the other above the central wall 74, the front element 106 being disposed between the upper front pots 3 and the rear element 106 between the pots 3 rear superiors.
  • the retaining elements 106 retain the pots 3 greater than both longitudinally and transversely with respect to the interlayer 12.
  • slots 40 and 92 provided in the blanks 13 and 72 allow easy handling thanks to suction cups and therefore to automate the production of the assembly 1.
  • the flaps 46 being cut each on the same side of a line of folding 48 and folded over the bottom wall 25 on the other side of this fold line 48, the bottom wall 25 may be of reduced dimensions.
  • the cost blank 13 and packaging 4 is therefore particularly reduced.
  • the structure of the beams 64 formed by the flaps 46, and in particular their section, gives them a significant rigidity of so that the size of the openings 38 can be reduced. So the risks of tearing of the sheath 11 is reduced and a light weight cardboard or a recycled cardboard can be used to form the sleeve 11, which still allows to reduce the cost.
  • the panels 56, on which the lower right pots 3 build also contribute to the solidity of the beams 64.
  • the interlayer 12 interposed between the lower pots 3 and the pots 3 upper protects the covers of the 3 lower pots.
  • openings 104 form means for retaining the pots. 3 lower which, in combination with the retainers 106 of the pots 3 upper, allow satisfactory maintenance of the pots 3 in the sheath 11.
  • the self-supporting structure of the elements of retainer 106 also makes it possible to reduce the grammage of the cardboard used for form tab 12 so the overall cost of package 4 can be reduced.
  • the two side walls 16 and 27 are not cut or deteriorated to retain the lower 3 pots compared to the 3 pots higher.
  • holding beams 64 and the means retainers 104 and 106 may have different shapes from those described previously.
  • Figure 5 represents a blank 13 to form a sheath 11 according to a second embodiment.
  • This blank 13 differs from that of FIG. 3 by the fact that the walls side 16 and 27 are of reduced height and do not have a line of middle folding. Thus, this blank 13 is intended to form a package 4 of packaging of a group of pots 3 arranged in a single level. The packaging 4 therefore does not include a tab 12.
  • these principles can be used to condition other types of containers than yogurt jars.
