Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an enclosure for packaging products, and a process for packaging products in such enclosure.
  • the seats in which to accommodate the products can, in turn, be closed by way of specific flaps which can be glued so as to define a closure fold which will prevent the egress of the product.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing an enclosure for packaging products which can easily be made with few folds and few applications of glue.
  • an object of the invention is to provide an enclosure for packaging products in which the products can be accommodated by way of simple operations which do not require machines equipped with complex and costly elements for manipulating the products.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an enclosure for packaging products which is particularly simple and which implies a minimal quantity of discarded material.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a process for packaging products which does not require dedicated and complex movement operations.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a process for packaging products in an enclosure which involves the insertion of the products into the enclosure on a linear path.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an enclosure for packaging products which is low cost, easily and practically implemented and safe in use, and which makes it possible to execute a process for packaging products in such enclosure which is easily implemented and which has low implementation costs and operating costs.
  • an enclosure for packaging products of the type comprising a contoured laminar element which is folded onto itself, characterized in that said laminar element comprises, at an intermediate portion thereof, a transverse folding line which defines two mutually opposite flaps, a first flap comprising at least one slot, which extends in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction of said folding line, adjacent to an end border which is substantially parallel to said folding line, in the configuration for use said laminar element being folded onto itself along said folding line and said end border being coupled to a second flap, so that the strips which delimit the at least one slot are folded so as to define a substantially polygonal protruding shape, an end band of said second flap being juxtaposable and associable stably with the bottom of said strips for the partial closure of said at least one slot.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a possible embodiment of a sheet for providing an enclosure for packaging products, according to the invention
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of the sheet in Figure 1 partially folded to provide an enclosure for packaging products, according to the invention
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of the sheet in Figure 1 with a first folding to provide an enclosure for packaging products, according to the invention
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of the sheet in Figure 1 with a second folding to provide an enclosure for packaging products, according to the invention, as the products are being inserted;
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view of the sheet in Figure 1 with a third folding to provide an enclosure for packaging products, according to the invention, with the products inserted;
  • Figure 6 is a perspective view of the sheet in Figure 1 with a fourth folding to provide an enclosure for packaging products, according to the invention, with the products inserted;
  • Figure 7 shows Figure 5 shown from another viewpoint
  • Figure 8 is a perspective view of an enclosure for packaging products, according to the invention, in the configuration of extracting a single product
  • Figure 9 is a schematic perspective view of a process for packaging products in an enclosure, according to the invention.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates an enclosure for packaging products A.
  • the enclosure 1 comprises a contoured laminar element 2 which is folded onto itself.
  • the laminar element 2 (according to the invention) will comprise, at an intermediate portion thereof, a transverse folding line 3 which defines two mutually opposite flaps 4 and 5.
  • a first flap 4 comprises at least one slot 6, which extends in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction of the folding line 3.
  • Each slot 6 is adjacent to an end border 7 which is substantially parallel to the folding line 3.
  • the laminar element 2 is folded onto itself along the folding line 3 and the end border 7 is glued to the second flap 5 so that the strips 8 that delimit the at least one slot 6 are folded so as to define a substantially polygonal protruding shape.
  • An end band of the second flap 5 can be glued to and is juxtaposable to (i.e. it can be superimposed on and placed beside) the bottom of the strips 8 for the partial closure of the at least one slot 6.
  • each slot 6 once the strips 8 have been folded so as to define a shape protruding from the laminar blank (constituted by the folded laminar element in which the border 7 is glued to the second flap 5), will define a compartment 9 which will be able to accommodate a respective product A.
  • the slots 6 are a plurality, are arranged mutually side by side and are separated by at least one respective strip 8. The slots 6 thus arranged mutually side by side will define, in the configuration for use, a plurality of compartments 9 for accommodating respective products A.
  • each strip 8 is substantially shaped like a polygon which is preferably selected from among a rectangle, a square, a trapezoid and a parallelogram.
  • the end band 10 of the second flap 5 comprises weakening lines 11.
  • the weakening lines 11 are aligned with the at least one slot 6 when the laminar element 2 is in the configuration for use.
  • the weakening lines 11 ensure the facilitated breakage, at the respective slot 6, with consequent opening of the band 10 in order to extract the product (A) contained in the slot 6 which is closed by that particular section of band 10.
  • the strips 6 will be facing toward and proximate to the second flap 5, substantially parallel with it.
  • the enclosure thus defined makes it possible to provide packages of products A which are in every way equivalent to conventional packages, but having a smaller number of folds of the laminar element 2 and also a reduction of the mutually glued surfaces. This results in a considerable simplification of provision of the new enclosure 1 according to the invention with respect to conventional enclosures and, secondly, it also makes it possible to reduce production costs (as a consequence of simplifying the folding operations and minimizing the gluing operations).
  • the dimensions of the starting laminar element 2 will be substantially equal to slightly more than double the encumbrances of the finished enclosure and, furthermore, only a small amount of material will need to be removed from it in order to make the slots 6.
  • the present invention also relates to a process for packaging products
  • the application of such process involves a first step of taking a sheetlike blank 12, which is constituted by a folded laminar element 2 provided with strips 8 which delimit at least one compartment 9, such strips 8 being juxtaposed with a face 13 of the sheet-like blank 12 (such step is shown schematically in Figures 2 and 3).
  • Taking the sheet-like blank 12 is generally done after the border 7 has been coupled to the second flap 5 (for example by way of gluing): the possibility is not excluded of taking a sheetlike blank 12 in which such coupling has not yet been carried out, although such a possibility does not lend itself to being implemented with the machines of the type currently known and in use in the sector.
  • a second step follows (shown schematically in Figure 3) in which at least one region of the strips 6 is moved away from the face 13, thus providing respective substantially polygonal protruding contours, which are spaced apart by at least one respective compartment 9.
  • the first portion 14 on which part of the lower band 10 abuts is perpendicular to the face 13 of the sheet-like blank 12 (as can clearly be seen from examining Figure 5).
  • part 15 of the band 10 which protrudes with respect to the first portion 10 of the strips 8, and perpendicular to the face 13 of the sheet-like blank 2, is juxtaposed with, and stably coupled to, a second portion 16 of the strips 8.
  • the second portion 16 is contiguous to the first portion 14 and parallel to the face 13 of the sheet-like blank 12.
  • the part 15 of the band 10 which is coupled to the second portion 16 defines a front closure for the corresponding compartment 9 (or for the corresponding compartments 9) as illustrated schematically in Figure 6.
  • This operation will be carried out by making the product A perform a translational motion into the compartment 9 defined between two contiguous strips 8, temporarily surmounting the band 10, and keeping the product A facing toward and proximate to the face 13 of the sheet-like blank 12 during its translation.
  • the product A will describe a linear path during the insertion and thus it will be sufficient to use simple gripping elements (such as for example suction cups 17) which can move, for example, on linear rails.
  • the compartments 9, according to a preferred embodiment, will be a plurality.
  • each group will be constituted by a plurality of products A.
  • the sheet-like blanks 12 are stacked in a respective magazine 19 and are constituted by laminar elements 2 folded along a transverse folding line 3, which is arranged at an intermediate portion thereof, defining two mutually opposite flaps 4 and 5; a first flap 4 comprising at least one slot 6, which extends in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction of the folding line 3, such slot 6 being adjacent to an end border 7 which is substantially parallel to the folding line 3.
  • the end border 7, in the laminar blank 12, is glued to (or coupled according to another, equivalent method) the second flap 5 so that the strips 8 which delimit the at least one slot 6 are folded so as to define, when at least one region of such strip 8 is moved away from the face 13, a protruding polygonal shape.
  • the process according to the invention is particularly efficient in that it ensures the insertion of the products A into the respective compartment 9 by following a linear path that does not require the adoption of complex manipulators.
  • the present invention solves the above mentioned problems, by providing an enclosure 1 for packaging products A which can easily be made with few folds and few applications of glue.
  • the enclosure 1 makes it possible to accommodate the products A by way of simple operations which do not require machines equipped with complex and costly elements for manipulating the products.
  • the enclosure 1 is particularly simple and implies a minimal quantity of discarded material.
  • the process for packaging products A according to the invention also does not require dedicated and complex movement operations.
  • the process for packaging products A according to the invention involves the insertion of the products A into the respective compartment 9 on a linear path, with consequent simplification (at the design and implementation stage) of the automatic machine that will have to carry out the process.
  • the enclosure 1 is low cost, easily and practically implemented and safely applied; in such regard it further makes it possible to execute a process for packaging products A in the enclosure 1 which is easily implemented and which has low implementation costs and operating costs.
