Description

La présente invention concerne un gobelet comportant dans sa partie inférieure une dose de produit généralement préconditionnée sous forme pulvérulente, chaque dose étant placée dans un compartiment étanche à l'air et à l'humidité, facilement ouvrable par l'utilisateur.The present invention relates to a cup having in its lower part a dose of generally preconditioned product in powder form, each dose being placed in an airtight compartment and moisture easily opened by the user.

Le produit pulvérulent en question peut être constitué d'ingrédients lyophilisés tels que du café, ou simplement d'aliments en poudre tels que du chocolat, des jus de fruit, de la soupe, etc. Ce type de gobelet, notamment avec un opercule obturant un volume inférieur du gobelet, est connu et utilisé depuis fort longtemps. Il fait par exemple l'objet de distributions manuelles dans les avions, trains, etc... L'ajout d'eau chaude ou froide dans le gobelet contenant le produit pulvérulent est alors réalisé par l'hôtesse ou le stewart.The powdered product in question may be freeze-dried ingredients such as coffee, or simply powdered foods such as chocolate, fruit juice, soup, etc. This type of cup, especially with a lid closing a lower volume of the cup, is known and used for a long time. It is for example the subject of manual distribution in planes, trains, etc ... The addition of hot or cold water in the cup containing the powdery product is then performed by the hostess or the steward.

Ces gobelets peuvent aussi être distribués de manière automatique : lorsque l'utilisateur désire une boisson, il extrait un gobelet d'un distributeur, en retire l'opercule et le remplit grâce à une fontaine d'eau chaude ou froide. En général, le distributeur permet la sélection du gobelet par type de produit contenu dans le compartiment fermé.These cups can also be dispensed automatically: when the user wants a drink, he extracts a cup from a dispenser, removes the lid and fills it with a fountain of hot or cold water. In general, the dispenser allows the selection of the cup by type of product contained in the closed compartment.

Dans la majorité des cas, les gobelets utilisés sont fabriqués en plastique, l'opercule étant par exemple soudé sur un épaulement disposé en partie basse du gobelet. A l'heure d'une prise de conscience généralisée des impacts environnementaux qui résultent des produits manufacturés, dans une perspective de fabrication aussi bien que de recyclage, l'utilisation du plastique pour la réalisation des gobelets apparaît aujourd'hui comporter nombre d'inconvénients.In most cases, the cups used are made of plastic, the lid being for example welded to a shoulder disposed at the bottom of the cup. At the time of a general awareness of the environmental impacts that result from manufactured products, from a manufacturing as well as recycling perspective, the use of plastic for making cups appears today to have many disadvantages .

On a donc cherché à produire des gobelets dans des matières plus écologiques, par exemple en carton, comportant toujours un compartiment intérieur étanche pour stocker la dose de poudre. Or, dans les gobelets connus, l'operculage est réalisé par exemple en aluminium, matériau qui assure la meilleure étanchéité à l'air et à l'humidité, et permet ainsi de conserver les qualités gustatives des produits.So we tried to produce cups in greener materials, for example cardboard, always having a sealed interior compartment to store the dose of powder. However, in the known cups, the lidding is made for example of aluminum, a material that ensures the best airtightness and moisture, and thus preserves the taste qualities of the products.

Dans ce but, la fixation dudit opercule à la zone contenant le produit lyophilisé doit évidemment elle aussi être parfaitement étanche. Dans les gobelets en plastique, elle est réalisée par soudure de l'opercule par exemple sur un épaulement.For this purpose, the attachment of said seal to the zone containing the freeze-dried product must obviously also be perfectly sealed. In plastic cups, it is made by welding the lid for example on a shoulder.

Il existe par ailleurs des gobelets dont le corps est réalisé en carton, sur lequel aucune soudure n'est bien entendu possible, et dans lesquels ce problème est résolu par insertion d'une capsule plastifiée fermée par un opercule en aluminium. Sur un plan écologique la capsule en plastique, certes moins volumineuse que le gobelet, ne répond que très imparfaitement à la problématique envisagée.There are also cups whose body is made of cardboard, on which no welding is of course possible, and in which this problem is solved by inserting a closed plastic capsule by an aluminum cover. On an ecological level the plastic capsule, certainly less bulky than the cup, responds very imperfectly to the problematic.

FR 1 413 877 divulgue un gobelet selon le préambule de la revendication 1 du présent brevet. FR 1 413 877 discloses a cup according to the preamble of claim 1 of this patent.

Le gobelet de la présente invention, pour s'inscrire dans une perspective favorable à l'environnement, n'est pas en plastique, et l'utilisation d'un opercule par exemple en aluminium pour les raisons précitées pose donc le problème de sa fixation au gobelet.The cup of the present invention, to register in an environmentally friendly perspective, is not plastic, and the use of a cap for example aluminum for the aforementioned reasons therefore poses the problem of fixing it with the goblet.

Pour y répondre, ce gobelet, comportant classiquement dans un volume disposé en partie inférieure une dose de produit pulvérulent préconditionnée, ledit volume étant compartimenté de façon étanche à l'air et à l'humidité, se caractérise en ce que le gobelet est en carton, et comporte un fond sur lequel est fixé une coupelle inversée, constituant avec ledit fond le compartiment étanche, la matière du fond et de la coupelle formant barrière préservant les caractéristiques du produit.To answer this question, this cup, conventionally comprising, in a volume arranged in the lower part, a dose of preconditioned powdery product, said volume being compartmentalized in an airtight and moisture-proof manner, is characterized in that the cup is made of cardboard. , and comprises a bottom on which is fixed an inverted cup, constituting with said bottom the sealed compartment, the material of the bottom and the barrier cup preserving the characteristics of the product.

Par rapport au plastique, le carton s'impose de nos jours comme une alternative qui contribue à préserver l'environnement car son recyclage est aisé et peu polluant. L'utilisation du carton pour la réalisation du gobelet semble donc naturelle, à ceci près que le carton n'assure pas l'étanchéité nécessaire à l'air et à l'humidité.Compared to plastic, cardboard is nowadays an alternative that helps to preserve the environment because its recycling is easy and low pollution. The use of cardboard for making the cup seems natural, except that the cardboard does not provide the necessary seal to air and moisture.

Il faut recourir à un matériau dit "barrière", dont la qualité dépend de la fragilité du produit enclos dans le compartiment. L'aluminium, cité à titre préférentiel car il constitue la barrière de la qualité la plus élevée, n'est pas l'unique solution.It is necessary to resort to a material called "barrier", the quality of which depends on the fragility of the product enclosed in the compartment. Aluminum, cited as a preferential because it constitutes the barrier of the highest quality, is not the only solution.

L'utilisation d'un simple opercule en aluminium, comme dans l'art antérieur n'est par ailleurs pas suffisant puisqu'une partie du compartiment contenant le produit reste délimité par les parois en carton du gobelet. Enfin, l'association du carton et d'un tel opercule pose le problème de la soudure, laquelle doit au surplus être de qualité suffisante pour assurer une étanchéité entre les deux matériaux.The use of a simple aluminum foil, as in the prior art is also not sufficient since a portion of the compartment containing the product remains delimited by the cardboard walls of the cup. Finally, the combination of the cardboard and such a seal poses the problem of welding, which must be of sufficient quality to ensure a seal between the two materials.

L'invention présente une solution qui est originale à la fois dans l'utilisation des matériaux et dans leur mise en forme.The invention presents a solution that is original both in the use of materials and in their shaping.

Dans le but de faciliter l'opération de soudure, la coupelle peut d'ailleurs présenter une collerette plane. Ce rebord, en appui plan contre le fond plat du gobelet, permet la mise en oeuvre d'une soudure dans les mêmes conditions que pour les gobelets de l'art antérieur. L'espace périphérique annulaire qui subsiste alors entre la coupelle et la paroi latérale du gobelet est par ailleurs utilisé à d'autres fins, comme cela sera montré plus en détail dans la suite.In order to facilitate the welding operation, the cup may also have a flat flange. This flange, in plane support against the flat bottom of the cup, allows the implementation of a weld under the same conditions as for the cups of the prior art. The annular peripheral space that then remains between the cup and the side wall of the cup is also used for other purposes, as will be shown in more detail below.

La coupelle est solidarisée au fond par exemple par thermo-soudage, mais elle peut aussi être fixée par induction ou par collage, selon une opération classique pour ce type de gobelets.The cup is secured to the bottom for example by thermo-welding, but it can also be fixed by induction or gluing, according to a conventional operation for this type of cups.

Selon une possibilité:

  • le fond est en matériau composite carton / aluminium, la couche en aluminium étant orientée vers l'intérieur du gobelet ;
  • le fond est recouvert sur au moins une face d'au moins un revêtement en matériau synthétique ; et
  • la coupelle est en aluminium.
According to one possibility:
  • the bottom is made of cardboard / aluminum composite material, the aluminum layer being oriented towards the inside of the cup;
  • the bottom is covered on at least one side with at least one coating of synthetic material; and
  • the cup is made of aluminum.

Ainsi, le fond composite carton/aluminium et la coupelle en aluminium permettent de réaliser un compartiment dont toutes les faces sont en aluminium. Par ailleurs, l'existence d'un revêtement en matériau synthétique permet de réaliser la soudure dans des conditions permettant d'assurer l'étanchéité requise.Thus, the cardboard / aluminum composite bottom and the aluminum cup make it possible to make a compartment with all the faces made of aluminum. Moreover, the existence of a coating of synthetic material makes it possible to perform the welding under conditions that make it possible to ensure the required seal.

Alternativement, le fond et la coupelle peuvent être choisis parmi les matériaux suivants : polyester, polypropylène, polyéthylène, etc...Alternatively, the bottom and the cup may be chosen from the following materials: polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene, etc.

Ledit matériau peut en outre être métallisé, et/ou être disposé sous forme de film sur une couche de papier, etc... Plus généralement, comme indiqué ci-dessus, tout matériau formant barrière est approprié.Said material may also be metallized, and / or be arranged in the form of a film on a paper layer, etc. More generally, as indicated above, any barrier material is suitable.

A des fins purement fonctionnelles, et comme c'est l'usage, la coupelle peut comporter une languette de préhension s'étendant vers le bord du gobelet. L'utilisateur, lorsqu'il retire ladite coupelle par traction sur la languette, libère le produit pulvérulent, avant de disposer ce dernier sous une fontaine d'eau (froide ou chaude).For purely functional purposes, and as is customary, the cup may include a grip tab extending toward the edge of the cup. The user, when withdrawing said cup by pulling on the tab, releases the powdery product, before disposing it under a fountain of water (cold or hot).

Selon une configuration possible, le gobelet de l'invention peut présenter un fond surélevé réalisant un évidement extérieur en partie basse du gobelet, les hauteurs respectives dudit évidement et de la coque permettant un gerbage des gobelets.In a possible configuration, the cup of the invention may have a raised bottom providing an outer recess in the lower part of the cup, the respective heights of said recess and the shell for stacking cups.

Ce gerbage n'est cependant possible que si un évidement annulaire est présent autour de la coque, évidement qui existe par exemple dans l'hypothèse mentionnée auparavant de coques présentant une forme de coupelle à rebord externe plan.This stacking, however, is possible only if an annular recess is present around the shell, which recess for example exists in the hypothesis mentioned before shells having a cup-shaped outer plane flange.

L'évidement extérieur peut par ailleurs être légèrement évasé. Ceci permet de faciliter l'opération de soudage, puisque la contrepartie de l'outil de soudage dispose ainsi d'un accès facilité à la paroi constituant le fond, en vue d'y exercer correctement son action sur toute la périphérie dudit fond.The outer recess can also be slightly flared. This facilitates the welding operation, since the counterpart of the welding tool has and facilitated access to the wall constituting the bottom, in order to properly perform its action on the entire periphery of said bottom.

L'invention va à présent être décrite plus en détail, en référence aux figures annexées, pour lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 est une vue de côté d'un gobelet selon la présente invention ;
  • la figure 2 montre schématiquement, en section, la possibilité de gerbage de gobelets selon l'invention.
The invention will now be described in more detail, with reference to the appended figures, for which:
  • the figure 1 is a side view of a cup according to the present invention;
  • the figure 2 schematically shows, in section, the possibility of stacking cups according to the invention.

En référence à la figure 1, le gobelet (1) comporte une première partie principale tronconique dont le bord supérieur (2) est enroulé, un fond (3) et une partie inférieure (4) délimitant un évidement (5). Ce gobelet est réalisé en carton enroulé autour un d'axe vertical (A, A'), la face interne étant recouverte d'un film en matériau synthétique. Le fond (3) est quant à lui réalisé par exemple à partir d'un complexe carton/aluminium, l'aluminium constituant la face supérieure. Dans cette hypothèse, l'aluminium est par ailleurs recouvert d'un film en matériau synthétique, par exemple du polyéthylène ou encore du polypropylène. Comme déjà mentionné, la présence d'aluminium n'est pas indispensable et le fond et le couvercle pourraient être réalisés en d'autres matériaux barrière comme le polypropylène.With reference to the figure 1 , the cup (1) comprises a first frustoconical main part whose upper edge (2) is wound, a bottom (3) and a lower part (4) delimiting a recess (5). This cup is made of cardboard wrapped around a vertical axis (A, A '), the inner face being covered with a film of synthetic material. The bottom (3) is for its part made for example from a cardboard / aluminum complex, the aluminum constituting the upper face. In this case, the aluminum is also covered with a film of synthetic material, for example polyethylene or polypropylene. As already mentioned, the presence of aluminum is not essential and the bottom and the lid could be made of other barrier materials such as polypropylene.

Le produit lyophilisé pulvérulent est disposé entre le fond (3) et une coupelle ou coque (6) par exemple en aluminium, comportant une bordure en collerette (7) périphérique plane soudée par thermo-formage sur le fond (3).The freeze-dried powdery product is disposed between the bottom (3) and a cup or shell (6), for example made of aluminum, having a flat peripheral collar (7) welded by thermoforming on the bottom (3).

Les hauteurs respectives de l'évidement (5) pratiqué dans la partie inférieure (4) du gobelet et de la coque (6), combinées à l'existence d'un espace périphérique (8) autour de ladite coque (6), permettent un gerbage des gobelets pour les produits les plus fragiles, symbolisé notamment en figure 2. Dans cette représentation, la coque (6) présente une façade supérieure qui se situe à proximité du fond (3) du gobelet supérieur.The respective heights of the recess (5) formed in the lower part (4) of the cup and the shell (6), combined with the existence of a peripheral space (8) around said shell (6), allow a stacking of cups for the most fragile products, symbolized in particular in figure 2 . In this representation, the shell (6) has an upper facade which is located near the bottom (3) of the upper cup.

Dans la configuration représentée en figures 1 et 2, les parois (4) de la partie inférieure délimitant le volume (5) sont très légèrement évasées, de manière à faciliter le soudage de la collerette (7) sur le fond en complexe carton / aluminium. Mais ces parois pourraient tout aussi bien être tronconiques, dans le prolongement des parois supérieures du gobelet.In the configuration represented in Figures 1 and 2 , the walls (4) of the lower part delimiting the volume (5) are very slightly flared, so as to facilitate the welding of the flange (7) on the cardboard / aluminum complex bottom. But these walls could just as easily be frustoconical, in the extension of the upper walls of the cup.

Le produit pulvérulent que comporte le gobelet est alors logé dans un compartiment étanche délimité par des parois en aluminium, à savoir d'une part la face en aluminium du fond (3), et d'autre part la coque (6) en aluminium en forme de coupelle inversée.The powdery product that comprises the cup is then housed in a sealed compartment delimited by aluminum walls, namely on the one hand the aluminum face of the bottom (3), and on the other hand the shell (6) made of aluminum. inverted cup shape.

Ce produit est bien plus écologique que les gobelets qui se trouvent actuellement sur le marché, réalisés en tout ou en partie en matière plastique.This product is much more ecological than the cups that are currently on the market, made in whole or in part of plastic.
