Definitions

the present invention relates to the field of packaging, in particular packaging serving simultaneously as distributors, in particularly for the packaging and distribution of sheet products, namely handkerchiefs or the like, and relates to packaging intended for this purpose.
tissue or similar The presentation of tissues or similar is good known.
handkerchiefs are either stacked individually, be entangled in such a way that a pull on the handkerchief near the opening and exit of the latter automatically cause the presentation of the edge of the handkerchief or the like next in the opening packaging.
said packages are provided with an opening of distribution cut out on one of their faces.
packaging distributors and the corresponding manufacturing processes include known from documents FR-A-2 334 584, EP-A-0 275 481 and EP-A-0 401 621.
FR-A-2 334 584 describes a packaging for handkerchief in paper or the like, which is provided with a tissue opening or others, cut at the edge of one of its faces and recoverable by means a flap forming an integral part of the package, connected in a manner definitive to the latter by one of its edges and of which at least two others edges of the contour are detachably attached to said front packaging use.
a partial uprooting of the closing flap allows a access to the contents of the packaging and removal of tissues.
the packaging is provided near the free edge of the flap of a means of retaining it by adhesion, in view a temporary closure after the tearing of these two weakened edges of said packaging.
a retaining means ensures closure hygienic packaging between two uses.
EP-A-0 401 621 a packaging intended for the distribution of handkerchiefs or the like, which has a means to access the contents of the packaging consisting of a component flap integral of said packaging and the first opening of which is carried out by uprooting on part of its contour along a weakened line.
the packaging thus produced is obtained by cutting blanks in a continuously moving strip, said blanks then being folded back to form the packaging and simultaneously provided with their contents, then closed, by using machines adapted for this purpose, such as those known from EP-A-0 275 481.
the packaging thus produced presents the disadvantage of not allowing a hygienic closure of their opening for gripping handkerchiefs or the like only if the closing flap is perfectly applied above said opening and held there. This is more particularly the case when the closing flap has a surface exactly corresponding to that of the opening of grabbing handkerchiefs or the like and is only kept in a position of reseal only with an adhesive tab (EP-A-0 401 621)
the object of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks by offering packaging for distributing sheet products, namely handkerchiefs or the like allowing easy access to the products to be distribute, while ensuring the possibility of being able to close said packaging while preserving the hygiene of its contents as much as possible.
the subject of the invention is a shaped packaging rectangular and of rectangular cross section, provided with a opening for extracting a sheet product, such as a handkerchief or similar, characterized in that said opening is provided with a flap at minus two superimposed elements of different sizes, the element more small size being arranged on the inside of this flap, the elements forming the flap being made in one piece with the packaging and being connected, before first use, by at least part of their outline said packaging through weakened lines.
Figures 1 to 4 and 7 of the accompanying drawings show a packaging of parallelepiped shape and cross section rectangular, provided with an opening 1 for extracting a sheet product, such as a handkerchief or the like.
the opening 1 is provided with a flap 2 in at least two superimposed elements of sizes different, the 2 "element of smaller size being arranged on the face inside of this flap 2.
the element 2 is integral, at least before the first use, of the portion of an underlying film 3 forming a lining the packaging.
Elements 2 'and 2 "forming the flap 2 are made in one piece with the packaging and are connected by a part from their contour to said packaging, via weakened lines 4.
the element 2 "more small size forming the inner face of the flap 2 determines at least in part of the surface of the opening 1 of the packaging, while the element 2 'of larger, which forms the outer face of the flap 2, is arranged with possibility of partial tearing off on a covering rim of one side of the packaging including that comprising the element 2 "forming the face interior of said flap 2.
the opening 1 is arranged astride an edge 5 connecting two adjacent sides of the package.
this edge 5 connects a large side 9 to a small side 10, the flap 2 with its hinge axis 6 on the short side 10.
the packaging is consisting of a film forming an envelope and the ends of which are overlap on two adjacent sides, so the packaging is lined on these two sides.
the smaller 2 "element forming the face inside of the flap 2 is part, at least partially, of the lining internal 3.
This 2 "element includes a first part 2" A, on the most long side 9, which extends over a second part 2 "B covering at less the small side 10.
the element 2 "forming the inner face is secured, for example by welding, of the element 2 ' forming the outer face, at least along the part 2 "B and possibly partially from part 2 "A.
the packaging can advantageously be provided near the free edge of element 2 ', of a removable fastener 8, such as a self-adhesive adhesive pad or tape.
a removable fastener 8 such as a self-adhesive adhesive pad or tape.
the packaging according to the invention is made by folding a precut blank along fold lines shown in fine mixed lines.
This blank is provided with preformed lines of embrittlement 4 corresponding to the contours of the 2 'and 2 "tear-off elements intended for form the flap 2.
the arrangement of these elements 2 'and 2 makes it possible to produce contour weakening for the two elements 2 'and 2 "with one and same tool. This is, for example, a line consisting of cutouts according to dashes separated by tenons.
the flap 2 is constituted by the superposition from a larger element 2 'to a smaller element 2 ", it suffices to provide weakened tear-off lines, so that these extend, on the one hand, over a part of the packaging corresponding to a short side 10 and to an adjacent surface of the long side 9 and, on the other hand, on a part of the packaging corresponding to an edge 11 folded over the long side 9 and partially short side 10 corresponding to each packaging on a moving strip. Cutting the blank into elements each corresponding to a package is then carried out from such that one of its ends AA is formed by the edge 11 comprising the element of larger size 2 ′ and that the other end BB is formed by a small side 10 provided with the smaller element 2 " extending partly on the large adjacent side.
Figure 4 of the accompanying drawings shows a variant of embodiment of the invention, in which part 2 "B has been folded over the part 2 "A. These parts are joined to each other by the joint formed by the fold.
Part 2 "B is itself integral with the internal face of element 2 'located above the long side 9 of the package. This part 2 "B is glued or thermo-welded on the element 2 '.
This embodiment improves the removal of the element 2 "at the time of the first use. It also makes it possible to obtain, in the area of the opening 1, the packaging a triple wall thickness of the flap 2 further promoting further closing the packaging after use and thus improving hygiene.
FIGS. 6A to 6C schematically represent the sequence operations enabling the packaging according to FIG. 4 to be produced.
the flank 100 is introduced, by means of an element forming a pusher, in a shaping cell 111, formed at the periphery of a wheel 110.
a shaping cell 111 formed at the periphery of a wheel 110.
a means such as an air jet associated with a belt, fold the panel 102 '180 °. It follows that this panel 102 'covers the opening of the cell 111 and the panel 102 "B (FIG. 6B).
a bar heated 112 then welds the panels 102 'and 102 "B to each other.
the package is expelled from the cell and a pad of self-adhesive adhesives 102 such as a "hot melt” adhesive, is deposited on the outside of the package carrying the panel 102 "B (FIG. 6C) then the assembly formed by the two panels are folded over the adhesive pavement and adheres to it.
the package then undergoes the other stages of training and assembly in a known manner.
the invention it is possible to produce a packaging of distribution that can be easily manipulated by the user and allowing ensure, throughout the period of use, repeated closing correct said packaging. It can thus be ensured a backup of the hygiene of the content, this being accessible only after a maneuver voluntary flap 2, so the risk of content pollution is practically canceled.
the opening 1 can have relatively large dimensions important.
the opening 1 can be placed in the longitudinal direction of the case or in the transverse direction, as it appears more particularly in Figure 7.
the extraction opening can be planned large.
