Description

La présente invention concerne une boite à bec verseur, notamment en carton, et destinée à contenir plus particulièrement des produits en poudre, comprenant une paroi frontale présentant un orifice et un bec verseur comportant un volet rattaché à la paroi frontale par une ligne de pliage définissant une articulation de sorte que le bec est mobile par pivotement le long de ladite ligne de pliage entre une position fermée pour obturer ledit orifice et une position ouverte pour constituer un canal d'écoulement du produit à verser, ledit bec comportant également deux oreillettes latérales disposées de part et d'autre perpendiculairement au volet et appartenant à un rabat intérieur formant une seule pièce avec la boite, au moins un bord latéral du bec verseur et de l'orifice étant disposé sur une ligne de pliage entre la paroi frontale et une paroi latérale de la boite.The present invention relates to a spout box, in particular made of cardboard, and intended to contain more particularly powdered products, comprising a front wall having an orifice and a spout comprising a flap attached to the front wall by a fold line defining a joint so that the beak is movable by pivoting along said fold line between a closed position for closing said orifice and an open position for constituting a channel flow of the product to be poured, said spout also comprising two ear cups lateral arranged on either side perpendicular to the flap and belonging to a inner flap forming a single piece with the box, at least one side edge of the spout pourer and the orifice being disposed on a fold line between the front wall and a side wall of the box.

Il est précisé qu'on appelle ici paroi frontale la paroi qui comporte le bec verseur, indépendamment de la face de présentation de la boite.It is specified that here the front wall is called the wall which includes the spout, regardless of the presentation side of the box.

Les boites à bec verseur définies ci-dessus sont utilisées pour le conditionnement de produits granulaires tels que du gros sel. Par rapport aux boites traditionnelles à bec verseur métallique rapporté, les boites en carton à bec intégré au moment de la fabrication permettent de réaliser une économie liée à la matière carton tout en conservant des fonctionnalités identiques.The spout boxes defined above are used for the packaging of granular products such as coarse salt. Compared to traditional beak boxes metal pourer, cardboard boxes with integrated spout at the time of manufacturing make it possible to save on cardboard material while retaining identical functionality.

Cependant, pour le conditionnement de produits pulvérulents tels que du sel fin, les boites actuelles avec bec verseur en carton intégré présentent des problèmes d'étanchéité. En conséquence, elles ne peuvent pas être utilisées en l'état pour des produits en poudre puisque l'utilisateur final n'acceptera pas de voir son produit en poudre se déverser en dehors du bec verseur. However, for the packaging of powdered products such as fine salt, the current boxes with integrated cardboard spout present problems sealing. Consequently, they cannot be used as they are for powdered products since the end user will not accept to see his product in powder spilling out of the spout.

La présente invention vise à pallier ces inconvénients en proposant une boite qui présente les avantages de prix et de commodité d'une boite avec bec verseur en carton intégré et qui permet d'éviter les fuites lorsqu'elle contient plus particulièrement des produits pulvérulents.The present invention seeks to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a box which presents the advantages of price and convenience of a box with cardboard spout integrated and which prevents leaks when it contains more particularly powdery products.

Dans ce but, l'invention concerne une boite du genre indiqué en préambule, caractérisée en ce que l'oreillette latérale s'appuyant sur ladite paroi latérale est prolongée vers le bas par une patte de contact avec ladite paroi latérale de manière à éviter toute fuite du produit.To this end, the invention relates to a box of the kind indicated in the preamble, characterized in that the lateral atrium resting on said lateral wall is extended downwards by a contact tab with said side wall so as to avoid product leakage.

D'une manière avantageuse, la patte de contact comporte un bord inférieur aligné avec un bord libre du rabat intérieur.Advantageously, the contact tab has a lower edge aligned with a free edge of the inner flap.

De préférence, les oreillettes latérales présentent un bord supérieur arrondi, qui peut comporter un cran agencé de manière à constituer une butée contre la paroi frontale lorsque le bec verseur est en position ouverte maximale.Preferably, the side ear cups have a rounded upper edge, which can have a notch arranged so as to constitute a stop against the front wall when the spout is in the maximum open position.

Le rabat intérieur peut comporter avantageusement deux découpes latérales constituant des rainures de guidage pour les oreillettes latérales.The inner flap can advantageously include two lateral cutouts constituting guide grooves for the lateral atria.

De préférence, le bec verseur présente un volet intérieur appartenant au rabat intérieur, les oreillettes latérales se trouvant de part et d'autre dudit volet intérieur. Le bord supérieur du volet comporte au moins une patte de retenue du bec verseur en position fermée et le bord supérieur du volet intérieur comporte au moins une encoche, le rabat intérieur comportant au moins une languette correspondante permettant de maintenir le bec verseur en position fermée. Preferably, the spout has an internal flap belonging to the flap inside, the lateral atria being located on either side of said inner flap. The upper edge of the flap has at least one spout retaining tab in closed position and the upper edge of the inner flap has at least one notch, the inner flap comprising at least one corresponding tab to keep the spout in the closed position.

D'une manière avantageuse, au moins un bord latéral du volet et le bord supérieur du volet intérieur sont reliés respectivement à la paroi frontale et au rabat intérieur par des lignes de points d'attache.Advantageously, at least one lateral edge of the flap and the upper edge of the inner flap are connected respectively to the front wall and the inner flap by lines of attachment points.

De préférence, la boite selon l'invention est réalisée d'une seule pièce.Preferably, the box according to the invention is made in one piece.

La présente invention et ses avantages apparaítront mieux dans la description suivante d'un exemple de réalisation, en référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels:

  • la figure 1 représente une vue en plan d'une boite selon l'invention avant pliage,
  • la figure 2 représente une vue en perspective de la boite de la figure 1, le bec verseur étant en position fermée, et
  • la figure 3 est une vue en perspective de la boite de la figure 1, le bec verseur étant en position ouverte.
The present invention and its advantages will appear better in the following description of an exemplary embodiment, with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
  • FIG. 1 represents a plan view of a box according to the invention before folding,
  • FIG. 2 represents a perspective view of the box of FIG. 1, the spout being in the closed position, and
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of the box of Figure 1, the spout being in the open position.

En référence aux figures, la boite 1 selon l'invention est constituée à l'état déplié, d'une feuille en carton découpée selon des formes décrites ci-après et pourvue de lignes de pliage horizontales 2 et 3 et verticales 4 à 8 pour former une boite 1 parallélépipédique conformément aux figures 2 et 3. Une fois pliée, la boite 1 comprend une paroi frontale 9, deux parois latérales 10 et 11 et une paroi arrière 12. En haut et en bas de ces parois, se trouvent quatre rabats supérieurs 13 et quatre rabats inférieurs 14 qui, une fois rabattus les uns sur les autres et encollés, permettent de former le fond 15 et la paroi supérieure 16 de la boite 1.With reference to the figures, the box 1 according to the invention consists, in the unfolded state, of a cardboard sheet cut into shapes described below and provided with lines of horizontal folding 2 and 3 and vertical 4 to 8 to form a box 1 parallelepiped in accordance with Figures 2 and 3. Once folded, the box 1 comprises a front wall 9, two side walls 10 and 11 and a rear wall 12. At the top and bottom of these walls are four upper flaps 13 and four lower flaps 14 which, once folded over each other and glued, allow to form the bottom 15 and the upper wall 16 of the box 1.

De manière à pouvoir relier la paroi frontale 9 à la paroi latérale 11 et fermer la boite 1, il est prévu un rabat intérieur 17 dans le prolongement de ladite paroi latérale 11 et comportant au niveau de son coin supérieur libre 20 une languette latérale 18. Le rabat intérieur 17 se plie selon la ligne de pliage 5 et est destiné à être collé contre la paroi frontale 9, tandis que la languette latérale 18 se plie selon la ligne de pliage 4 et est destinée à être collée sur une zone correspondante dans le haut de la paroi latérale 10. Le rabat 17 présente une forme générale en P avec un bord libre 19 découpé en biais.So as to be able to connect the front wall 9 to the side wall 11 and close the box 1, an inner flap 17 is provided in the extension of said side wall 11 and comprising at its free upper corner 20 a lateral tab 18. The inner flap 17 folds along fold line 5 and is intended to be glued against the front wall 9, while the lateral tab 18 folds along the fold line 4 and is intended to be glued to a corresponding area at the top of the side wall 10. The flap 17 has a general shape in P with a free edge 19 cut into bias.

La paroi frontale 9 présente un orifice 21 par lequel s'évacue le produit à verser et qui est obturé en position fermée par un bec verseur 22. Ledit bec verseur 22 comprend un volet 23 découpé dans la paroi frontale 9 selon la forme de l'orifice 21 et dont le bord inférieur est rattaché à la paroi frontale 9 par une ligne de pliage horizontale 24 constituant une articulation de sorte que le bec verseur 22 est mobile par pivotement le long de cette ligne de pliage 24 entre sa position fermée (cf. Fig. 2) et une position ouverte (cf. Fig. 3) pour constituer un canal d'écoulement du produit à verser. L'orifice 21 et le bec verseur 22 sont positionnés sur la paroi frontale 9 de sorte que le bord latéral 26 du volet 23 et donc de l'orifice 21 est disposé sur la ligne de pliage 8 entre la paroi frontale 9 et la paroi latérale 10. Les bords latéraux 25 et 26 du volet 23 sont reliés à la paroi frontale 9 par des lignes de points d'attache qu'il suffit de rompre lors de la première utilisation pour rendre mobile le volet 23.The front wall 9 has an orifice 21 through which the product to be poured is discharged and which is closed in the closed position by a pouring spout 22. Said pouring spout 22 comprises a flap 23 cut in the front wall 9 according to the shape of the orifice 21 and the lower edge is attached to the front wall 9 by a horizontal fold line 24 constituting an articulation so that the spout 22 is movable by pivoting along this fold line 24 between its closed position (see Fig. 2) and a position open (see Fig. 3) to form a flow channel for the product to be poured. The orifice 21 and the pouring spout 22 are positioned on the front wall 9 so that the lateral edge 26 of the flap 23 and therefore of the orifice 21 is disposed on the fold line 8 between the front wall 9 and the side wall 10. The side edges 25 and 26 of the flap 23 are connected to the front wall 9 by lines of attachment points which need only be broken during the first use to make the flap 23 mobile.

Le bec verseur 22 comprend également un volet intérieur 27 appartenant au rabat intérieur 17 auquel il est relié selon son bord inférieur par une ligne de pliage horizontale 28. Les lignes de pliages 24 et 28 se trouvent à la même hauteur et les volets 23 et 27 sont de même dimensions de sorte que le volet intérieur 27 constitue une doublure du volet 24 une fois le rabat intérieur 17 collé sur la paroi frontale 9. Le bord supérieur 29 du volet intérieur 27 est relié au rabat intérieur 17 par une ligne de points d'attache qu'il suffit de rompre lors de la première utilisation pour rendre mobile le volet intérieur 27. The spout 22 also includes an inner flap 27 belonging to the flap interior 17 to which it is connected along its lower edge by a fold line horizontal 28. The fold lines 24 and 28 are at the same height and the flaps 23 and 27 are of the same dimensions so that the internal flap 27 constitutes a lining of the flap 24 once the inner flap 17 is stuck on the front wall 9. The upper edge 29 of the inner flap 27 is connected to the inner flap 17 by a line of attachment points that just need to be broken during the first use to make movable the internal flap 27.

De part et d'autre du volet intérieur 27 sont prévues deux oreillette latérales 30 et 31 agencées pour former les parois latérales du bec verseur 22. L'oreillette latérale 30 est disposée en dessous de la languette latérale 18 et se plie perpendiculairement au volet intérieur 27 selon la ligne de pliage 4 de sorte qu'elle s'appuie sur la paroi latérale 10 lorsque la boite 1 est formée, les lignes de pliage 4 et 8 se superposant. Selon l'invention, ladite oreillette latérale 30 est prolongée vers le bas par une patte de contact 32 dont le bord inférieur 33 est découpé en pointe de manière à être aligné avec le bord libre 19 du rabat intérieur 17. Cette forme facilite le découpage de la feuille en carton. La patte de contact 32 est séparée du rabat intérieur 17 selon une ligne de découpe 34 jusqu'au niveau de la ligne de pliage 28 du volet intérieur 27. L'oreillette latérale 30 et sa patte de contact 32 coulissent librement sur la paroi latérale 10 lorsque le bec verseur 22 est ouvert.On either side of the inner flap 27 are provided two lateral atrium 30 and 31 arranged to form the lateral walls of the pouring spout 22. The lateral atrium 30 is arranged below the side tab 18 and folds perpendicular to the flap interior 27 along the fold line 4 so that it rests on the side wall 10 when the box 1 is formed, the fold lines 4 and 8 overlap. according to the invention, said lateral atrium 30 is extended downwards by a tab of contact 32 whose lower edge 33 is cut into a point so as to be aligned with the free edge 19 of the inner flap 17. This shape facilitates the cutting of the cardboard sheet. The contact tab 32 is separated from the inner flap 17 according to a cutting line 34 to the level of the folding line 28 of the inner flap 27. The lateral atrium 30 and its contact tab 32 slide freely on the wall lateral 10 when the spout 22 is open.

L'oreillette latérale 31 présente sensiblement la forme d'un quart de cercle découpé selon la ligne de découpe 36 dans le rabat intérieur 17. Elle se plie perpendiculairement au volet intérieur 27 selon une ligne de pliage 35.The lateral atrium 31 has substantially the shape of a cut quarter circle along the cutting line 36 in the inner flap 17. It folds perpendicular to the inner flap 27 along a fold line 35.

Les oreillettes latérales 30 et 31 sont découpées de manière à présenter un bord supérieur 37 arrondi comportant un cran 38 pour constituer une butée 39 contre la paroi frontale 9 lorsque le bec verseur 22 est en position ouverte maximale.The lateral atria 30 and 31 are cut so as to have an edge upper 37 rounded with a notch 38 to form a stop 39 against the front wall 9 when the spout 22 is in the maximum open position.

Le rabat intérieur 17 est découpé de manière à former une patte supérieure 40 et deux découpes latérales 41 de part et d'autre de ladite patte supérieure 40. La largeur de la patte supérieure 40 est inférieure à la largeur de l'orifice 21 de sorte que les découpes latérales 41 constituent avec les bords latéraux de l'orifice 21 deux rainures de guidage 42 de manière à faciliter le coulissement des oreillettes latérales 30 et 31.The inner flap 17 is cut so as to form an upper tab 40 and two lateral cutouts 41 on either side of said upper tab 40. The width of the upper tab 40 is less than the width of the orifice 21 so that the cutouts lateral 41 constitute with the lateral edges of the orifice 21 two grooves of guide 42 so as to facilitate the sliding of the lateral atria 30 and 31.

Le bord supérieur du volet 23 comporte une encoche 43 et l'orifice 21 comporte une découpe arrondie 45 délimitant une ouverture 44 pour le passage d'un ongle afin d'ouvrir le bec verseur. Quand la boite 1 est formée, la patte supérieure 40 se trouve derrière cette ouverture 44 pour assurer l'étanchéité. Le bord supérieur du volet 23 comporte deux pattes de retenue 46 disposées de part et d'autre de l'encoche 43 et butant contre la patte supérieure 40 pour maintenir le bec verseur 22 en position fermée et empêcher le bec verseur 22 de pivoter à l'intérieur de la boite 1.The upper edge of the flap 23 has a notch 43 and the orifice 21 has a rounded cut 45 defining an opening 44 for the passage of a nail so open the spout. When the box 1 is formed, the upper tab 40 is located behind this opening 44 to seal. The upper edge of the flap 23 comprises two retaining tabs 46 arranged on either side of the notch 43 and abutting against the upper tab 40 to maintain the spout 22 in position closed and prevent the spout 22 from pivoting inside the box 1.

Le bord supérieur 29 du volet intérieur 27 comporte deux encoches 50 disposées à chaque extrémité, la patte supérieure 40 du rabat intérieur 17 comportant deux languettes 51 correspondantes se logeant dans les encoches 50 pour maintenir le bec verseur 22 en position fermée.The upper edge 29 of the inner flap 27 has two notches 50 arranged at each end, the upper tab 40 of the inner flap 17 comprising two corresponding tabs 51 housed in the notches 50 to hold the spout pourer 22 in the closed position.

Lors de l'utilisation de la boite 1, le bec verseur 22 est ouvert en le basculant vers l'avant. Lors de ce mouvement, les oreillettes latérales 30 et 31 coulissent dans les rainures 42 et s'arrêtent en position d'ouverture maximale lorsque les butées 39 atteignent la paroi frontale 9. Dans cette position mais également en position fermée, l'oreillette latérale 30 et la patte de contact 32 restent plaquées sur la paroi latérale 10 par l'effet de surface important et la force que celle-ci applique sur cette paroi 10. Ainsi, l'oreillette latérale 30 et sa patte de contact 32 sont en contact avec la paroi latérale 10 empêchant toute fuite du produit en poudre.When using the box 1, the spout 22 is opened by tilting it towards forward. During this movement, the lateral atria 30 and 31 slide in the grooves 42 and stop in the maximum open position when the stops 39 reach the front wall 9. In this position but also in the closed position, the lateral auricle 30 and the contact tab 32 remain pressed against the lateral wall 10 by the large surface effect and the force which it applies to this wall 10. Thus, the lateral atrium 30 and its contact tab 32 are in contact with the wall lateral 10 preventing any leakage of the powdered product.
