FR2788041A1 - PACKAGING WITH INSTANT PYRAMIDAL SHAPING BY PRE-FOLDING - Google Patents

Abstract

The inventive device consists of a deformable receptacle (1) comprising folding means (11, 14, 15) that are associated with closing means enabling the top part of said receptacle (1) to be squeezed in a conical manner and shifted from an open position, wherein it has a substantially cylindrical shape that flares outwards towards the top and can receive one or more objects that are to be packed, and a packed state in which it has a substantially conical shape.

Description

- 1 -

  The present invention relates to gift packaging for luxury and semi-luxury items, packaging for sweets, sugared almonds and chocolates, display packaging for a wide variety of objects. But also presentation packaging for bouquets of cut flowers called "round bouquets". These

  filled with water become disposable vases.

  To answer the list of uses above,

  specific packaging is required each time.

  For the case packaging it is often boots or

  cardboard or plastic boxes that stack but do not flare up

  not attempt, hence the loss of space for their storage.

  For packaging packaging, these are sachets, boots made of cardboard or flexible plastic to be assembled, stored flat

  or nested, hence a waste of time.

  As for the packaging used as a vase for bouquets of flowers, it is necessary to wrap the base of the bouquet with a plastic cone, fix it and then coat it with a water-resistant sheet ending in a corolla, all maintained by a ribbon knotted. It only remains to fill the pocket thus obtained with water to make it

a disposable vase.

  The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy the

  seems to have these drawbacks. The packaging, preferably made of plastic by injection, in a single piece, avoids all that can be assembled or assembled during manufacturing

  as in use, which is a time saver.

  It consists of a receptacle in the shape of a basket, the lower part of which has a diameter less than the upper part. Its periphery receives, during the molding on its wall, a pre-folding having outgoing parts which have weakened material towards

  inside, and parts come in that have weakened

  outward matter. At this stage, the packaging can be stored by nesting, which saves space. This pre-folding as well as the weakening of internal and external material, allow the basket to close instantly by tightening, at the level of the collar and thus become packaging. -2-

  Several methods of closing the packaging are provided.

  A cord or ribbon tied around the collar for candies-

  niers and disposable vases for bouquet of flowers. For packaging

  lages case, a sliding cord in the holes of the collar provided for this purpose. But also a cap with lugs, which are automatically clipped into the recesses made in the hollow

  upper folds, in a version without collar.

  The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:

  Figures 1 to 3 show the principle of the invention.

  Figures 4, 5 and 6 the use of the invention in packaging packaging with closure by knotted cord or ribbon and with

extension of the packaging.

  Figure 7 shows the use of the invention in a vase

disposable for bouquets of flowers.

  Figures 8 and 9 show the use of the invention in a jewel case, perfume packaging, with closure by

sliding cord.

  Figures 10, 11 and 12 the closure with clip-on cap.

  With reference to these drawings, the device, made from pre-

  plastic injection mold of all colors, opaque or transparent

  lucid, has a receptacle in the shape of a basket, the base (1) of which is smaller in diameter than the upper part (2). The base (1) of polygonal shape, each side of which serves as a base for the triangular facets (4), only facets remaining visible when using packaging. The entire wall (3) receives at the time of manufacture a pre-folding and a pre-shaping according to the drawing in FIG. 1. The pre-folding has weakenings

  of material on the internal folds (5) for the outgoing parts

  aunts when folded, and material weaknesses on the folds external face (6) for the parts returning to the fold. At this point the packaging is ready for storage and delivery,

  they nestle into each other figure 2.

  For the transition from storage to packaging

  packaging just tighten at the part (9).

  The facets (7) and the lower part of the facets (8) are

  tent and disappear in the folding leaving only - 3 - the facets (4) and the upper parts of the facets (8) which they serve as a collar. A tie, cord, ribbon (11) knotted

  around it will close the packaging.

  According to the variant of use for packaging condition-

  nement Figures 4, 5, 6, the closure will be made by a ribbon or other cord (11) and the lower part may be raised

  a base (12) of slightly conical shape for their fitting

Figures 5 and 6.

  According to the variant of use of the packaging in a disposable vase for a bouquet of flowers known as a "round bouquet" once the bouquet has been shaped, the stems of the bouquet are returned to the basket, the collar is tightened in its part (9) , it comes into contact with the stems. We close everything with a ribbon

  around the collar. All that remains is to fill the packaging.

water lage.

  According to the variant of use of the box packaging Figures 8 and 9, the packaging will be closed by a cord sliding in the holes (10) of the facets (8) or according to the same principle, a double cord at the opposite one of

the other.

  According to the variant of use of the hooded box packaging Figures 10, 11 and 12, the basket Figure 10 whose

  facets (8) will be smaller so that they disappear

  fully in the internal folds. Recesses (13) will allow the pins (14) of the cap (15) to be clipped to the packaging and to keep it thus closed, Figure 11; by simple pressure between the thumb and the index finger on the sides of the caFuchon, this one will release its lugs and the packaging will open by itself like a flower in the shape of a corolla. A variant Figure 12, allows to imagine all decorations by marking in the material at the time of injection on the facets (4) and the enhancement (12) and

  all kinds of stylish caps.
