Description

Packaging for adapters and wiper blades of a motor vehicle

The invention relates to the field of packaging and conditioning of spare parts, in particular for the automobile, and it relates more particularly to the packaging and conditioning of wiper blades for such vehicles.

Windshield wipers for motor vehicles generally comprise at least one drive arm which performs an angular reciprocating movement against a glazed surface to be wiped / cleaned of the vehicle, and at least one wiper blade comprising in particular a blade wiping material made of elastic material. The wiper blade is attached to a drive arm integral with the vehicle by a connection assembly configured so that, driven by the movements of the broom and the arm, the wiper blade rubs against the glass surface to be wiped / cleaned and sweeps away the water and a certain amount of dirt to evacuate them out of the driver's field of vision. A connection assembly as mentioned above comprises in particular an adapter configured to cooperate both with the wiper blade and with the drive arm to ensure the movable connection between these two elements.

In order to reduce costs, it is advantageous to be able to use the same wiper blade with different types of drive arms installed on different types of vehicles. It is therefore advantageous to have a wiper blade that can be installed, thanks to different types of adapters, on different types of drive arm. When purchasing a replacement wiper blade, the user can thus be offered a wiper blade accompanied by one or more adapters configured to allow the installation of this wiper blade. - ice on different vehicles.

The technical problem to which the present invention proposes to provide a solution is that of the packaging of such wiper blades. In fact, such a packaging must first of all allow optimal storage, within it, of the wiper blade and of the associated adapter (s), in order to limit as much as possible any lost volume, while also limiting as much as possible any relative displacement with respect to each other of the elements placed in this packaging, relative displacement which may be a source of noise which may be perceived by a purchaser as a sign of poor quality of the packaging and / or of the product. Such packaging must also protect the various elements sold together, that is to say the wiper blade and the associated adapter (s). It must, moreover, have a shape facilitating its transport in large quantities, that is to say, for example, a shape which can be easily stacked without dead volume and which is unlikely to be deformed in a transport container.

To achieve its object, the invention relates, according to a first aspect, to a box configured to receive, in a receiving volume delimited by main walls which it comprises, at least one adapter for a wiper blade. a motor vehicle, characterized in that a section of the box along a plane of transverse section is substantially in a triangle.

It should be understood here that a box according to this first aspect of the invention is formed of several main walls which together delimit a volume, also designated in the following as a receiving volume, in which one or more adapters as previously mentioned are received.

Such a box has a main direction of elongation, arbitrarily designated in the following as the longitudinal direction. It should be noted that the longitudinal direction of the box is also advantageously the main direction of elongation of one or more adapters received in the reception volume defined above. Advantageously, the longitudinal direction is also the direction of insertion of one or more adapters within the reception volume defined above. Finally, it should also be noted that, in the case where several adapters are received in the aforementioned reception volume, they are preferably placed aligned, within the reception volume defined above, in the longitudinal direction previously mentioned.

With reference to the above, a cross section of the box according to the invention is a section of this box along a plane perpendicular to the aforementioned longitudinal direction. Such a plane of transverse section is in particular defined by a transverse direction and by a vertical direction of the box according to the invention, mutually perpendicular and both perpendicular to the previously defined longitudinal direction.

It follows from the foregoing that the box according to this first aspect of the invention has the general shape of a prism, a cross section of which is substantially triangular. In other words, the box according to this first aspect of the invention comprises three main walls, the intersection of which, with a plane of transverse section as defined above, substantially forms a triangle.

Preferably, but not exclusively, the box according to the invention has substantially, except for manufacturing tolerances, the same shape and the same dimensions in cross section over its entire dimension in the longitudinal direction defined above. Alternatively, the dimensions and shapes of the inventive box may vary along the longitudinal dimension thereof.

According to various examples, the box according to the invention can be made of cardboard or of a plastic material such as polyethylene terephthalate (also known by the abbreviation PET). In all cases, the box according to the invention is advantageously made of a material having sufficient rigidity to allow the protection of the adapter (s) which it receives, and sufficiently flexible to allow simple and inexpensive shaping.

Arbitrarily, two of the main walls defined above will be designated in what follows respectively as the first side wall and as the second side wall of the box according to the invention, and the third main wall will be designated in the following as the base wall of the box according to the invention. invention.

According to a particularly advantageous, but not exclusive, embodiment, the angles formed at the intersections of the main walls constituting the box according to the invention are acute angles, materialized by edges extending in the longitudinal direction defined above. The following names are then defined with reference to the above:

• the longitudinal edge forming the intersection between the first side wall and the second side wall will be arbitrarily designated in what follows as the top edge,
• the longitudinal ridge forming the intersection between the first lateral wall and the basal wall will be arbitrarily designated in what follows as the first basal ridge,
• and the longitudinal ridge forming the intersection between the second side wall and the basal wall will be arbitrarily referred to in the following as the second basal ridge.

It should be noted that the invention also extends to a configuration in which the main walls of the box according to the invention are interconnected, two by two, by intermediate walls, such that in cross section, the angles formed at these intersections are cut. Each ridge formed at the intersection of two main walls then consists of two intermediate ridges substantially parallel to each other, each extending between an intermediate wall and the main wall considered.

According to a particularly advantageous characteristic, the invention provides that at least a first side and a second side of the box in cross section are substantially parallel to a first side and to a second side of a triangle.

It should be understood here by "substantially parallel" that a first side and a second side of a cross section of the box may have, according to various embodiments of the invention, concave or convex profiles relative respectively to a first side and to a second side of a triangle, while extending mainly in directions parallel to the aforementioned first side and to the second side of such a triangle.

Arbitrarily, the aforementioned first side and the second side denote, in what follows, respectively the intersection of the first side wall and of the second side wall with the cross-sectional plane considered, the vertices of the aforementioned triangle being materialized by the intersection of previously defined edges with the considered cross section plane.

According to one example, the shape of the box in cross section fits substantially into an isosceles triangle, the apex of which is formed by the intersection of the top edge defined above with the plane of transverse section considered. According to such an example, the box according to the invention therefore has a vertical longitudinal plane of symmetry containing the top ridge mentioned above and located at an equal distance from each of the side walls defined above.

According to a first variant embodiment, the first side wall and the second side wall of the box according to the invention are flat.

According to other variant embodiments, the first side wall and the second side wall of the box according to the invention have hollow profiles the concavity of which is oriented, according to various examples, towards the interior of the reception volume defined above or towards outside of it.

In the case where the concavity is oriented towards the inside of the receiving volume, the dimensions of the latter are greater than the dimensions of the volume of a right prism of longitudinal extension defined by the triangle described above: this makes it possible in particular to facilitate the insertion of one or more adapters in the box according to the invention.

In the case where the concavity is oriented towards the outside of the receiving volume, the dimensions of the latter are less than the dimensions of the volume of a right prism of longitudinal extension defined by the triangle described above: the walls of the box then produce a form of tight guidance of the adapter or adapters in their insertion, in the longitudinal direction defined above, within the receiving volume.

The invention thus makes it possible, thanks to the box as it has just been described, to have a container of simple shape, easily stackable in large quantities, in which one or more adapters can be easily housed and blocked. Indeed, the prismatic shape of such a box allows easy stacking and in large quantities of such boxes in a transport container.

The box according to the invention can also have one or more of the following characteristics, taken separately or in combination:

• the main walls comprise a basal wall, previously defined, comprising a first part and a second part joined by an internal ridge whose intersection with a plane of transverse section of the box is inside the triangle previously mentioned and at the inside the reception volume of the box. More precisely, according to this characteristic, the invention provides that the first part and the second part of the basal wall defined above are each directed towards the inside of the receiving volume of the box, such that the edge formed at their intersection, referred to as internal ridge in what follows, is both inside the previously defined receiving volume and inside the prism of substantially triangular cross section formed by the box. In other words, the first part and the second part of the basal wall form a hollow, the convex part of which, consisting of the aforementioned internal ridge, is located, in cross section, both inside the volume of reception and inside the previously mentioned triangle. This makes it possible in particular to complete the bearing, previously mentioned, of an adapter against the side walls of the box, by supporting, for example, a first side and a second side of such an adapter. respectively against the first part and against the second part of the basal wall of the box. Such support makes it possible to limit any relative movement of the adapter considered within the box. Such a configuration also makes it possible to optimize the size of the box with regard to the adapter or adapters which are received therein, by limiting the unoccupied volume in this box. Advantageously, the invention also provides for the aforementioned internal ridge to extend in the longitudinal direction defined above, that is to say substantially parallel to the top ridge defined above. In addition to optimizing the size with respect to the adapter (s) received therein, such a configuration also makes it possible to optimize the stacking of different boxes together, for example by stacking, on a top edge of a box, the hollow of another box formed by the two parts of the basal wall and the aforementioned internal ridge. According to an example in which the shape of the box in cross section fits substantially into an isosceles triangle whose vertex is formed by the intersection of the top edge defined above with the plane of cross section considered, the aforementioned internal edge is in the vertical longitudinal plane of symmetry defined above.
• the box comprises at least one lumen arranged in the basal wall of the box previously defined, and configured to form a longitudinal blocking of an adapter within the box. Indeed, as mentioned previously, the adapter or adapters received in the box according to the invention are inserted into the receiving volume thereof by sliding, in the longitudinal direction defined above, from an open longitudinal end. , or insert end, of the box. Once the adapter or adapters have been inserted into the box, their longitudinal direction and the longitudinal direction of the box are therefore substantially the same, except for assembly tolerances. Furthermore, in order to reduce manufacturing costs, the longitudinal ends of the box according to the invention are advantageously open. For example, the box according to the invention can be formed by folding a sheet of a material as previously mentioned. It is easy to understand the risk that once inserted into the box according to the invention, an adapter is ejected therefrom by a longitudinal end of the latter, for example during the consecutive insertion of a second adapter into the box. same box. According to one example, the previously mentioned lumen consists of a first part arranged, from the internal edge, in the direction of the first side wall of the box, and of a second part arranged, from the edge internal, towards the second side wall of the box. Advantageously, the first part and the second part of the aforementioned slot extend substantially symmetrically on either side of the previously defined internal edge, substantially perpendicular to the latter, and they are configured to receive together a part of a wall of an adapter placed in the box. According to various examples, one or more lumens can be produced in the aforementioned basal wall: a single lumen can be produced in the vicinity of a longitudinal end of the box, for example the longitudinal end of the box opposite the end of the box. insertion defined above, or several slots can be distributed along the internal edge previously mentioned, each intended to receive a part of an adapter received in the box in order to block it longitudinally within the latter.
• the box comprises at least one slot configured to define, in the first side wall and in the second side wall previously defined, respectively a first strip of material and a second strip of material configured to produce a longitudinal locking bead of an adapter in the box. More precisely, according to the invention, the aforementioned slot comprises a first part arranged, in the first side wall of the box, from the top ridge defined above, in the direction of the first basal ridge described above, and a second part arranged, in the second side wall of the box, from the aforementioned top ridge, towards the second basal ridge described above. The first part of the slot thus defines, on the one hand, in the first side wall, a first strip of material which extends, in the longitudinal direction, between the first part of the slot and the closest longitudinal end. of the first side wall, and, on the other hand, in the second side wall, a second strip of material which extends, in the longitudinal direction, between the second part of the slot and the longitudinal end closest to the second side wall. The first strip of material and the second strip of material are joined by a portion of the top edge extending, in the longitudinal direction, between the aforementioned slot and the longitudinal end closest to the box. Advantageously, the first part of the slot and the second part of the slot extend substantially symmetrically on either side of the top ridge, substantially perpendicular to the latter. It follows from the above that, thanks to the elasticity of the material constituting the box according to the invention, a simple support, directed from the top edge towards the basal wall, then allows the deformation by torsion of the first strip of material. and the aforementioned second strip of material, so as to bring the portion of the top ridge, previously defined, which brings together the first strip of material and the second strip of material mentioned above, closer to the basal wall. The strips of material thus displaced together form a sort of cord which constitutes an obstacle to the ejection, by the longitudinal end closest to the box, of an adapter received in this box. According to one example, such a locking cord can be arranged at each longitudinal end of the box according to the invention, thus making it possible to avoid any ejection, by one or the other of these ends, of one or more adapters. received in this box.
• at least one of the outer faces of the box according to the invention is configured to serve as a support for assembly instructions of the at least one adapter received in the box with a wiper blade of a vehicle automobile. The term “outer face” is understood here to mean a face of one of the main walls, previously defined, of the box, located outside the receiving volume of the latter. According to one example, the outer face of at least one of the first side wall and of the second side wall serve as a support for printed or glued assembly instructions. This makes it possible, on the one hand, to avoid an operation of placing, in the box, such assembly instructions, and, therefore, to reduce costs. Moreover, this makes it possible to make the instructions considered available to the user in a simple and rapid manner. Note that such instructions may also include instructions for mounting, on different drive arms of different motor vehicles, a wiper blade configured to be assembled with one or more adapters received in the box. according to the invention.

As it has just been written, the box according to a first aspect of the invention makes it possible to pack in a simple, inexpensive and reliable manner, one or more adapters designed to ensure the connection between a broom. windshield wipers and one or more types of motor vehicle drive arms. Thanks to such a box, the invention allows packaging of the adapter (s) independently of the packaging of a wiper blade on which this or these adapter (s) are configured to be installed. This opens up the possibility, for example, in an aftermarket of a separate offer of adapters alongside a combined offer of adapters and wiper blades, at a minimum additional cost of packaging and packaging.

According to a second aspect, the invention extends to a packaging for a wiper blade for a motor vehicle, characterized in that it comprises a sheath configured to receive at least one box according to any one of the preceding claims and to receive at least one wiper blade.

Advantageously, in the packaging according to the invention, the box as described above is inserted longitudinally in the sleeve in which the wiper blade is received. It should therefore be noted that, according to the invention, the box which contains one or more adapters configured to be associated with the wiper blade received in the sheath is longitudinally independent of the aforementioned sheath. This simplifies in particular, as previously mentioned, the packaging operations of the assembly.

Moreover, by simply weighing the filled boxes, it is possible to associate without error one or more boxes each containing one or more adapters to different types of wiper blades. This makes it possible to avoid any packaging error, while simplifying the operations of identifying the adapter or adapters intended to be associated with a given type of wiper blade.

Advantageously, the dimensions of the sleeve are defined such that, during its insertion, the wiper blade is put under stress so as to reduce its natural curvature. This allows, thanks to the natural elasticity of the wiper blade, to achieve a mechanical retention of the latter within the sleeve. In the packaging according to the invention, however, the stressing of the wiper blade within the sheath, if it reduces the natural curvature of the latter, does not however completely eliminate it. It follows that there is, within the aforementioned sheath, at least one free space, in particular in the vicinity of the longitudinal ends of the wiper blade, between the latter and the walls of the sheath, free space in which the invention provides that one or more boxes as described above can be inserted.

To facilitate this insertion, the invention provides that at least a first side and a second side of a cross section of the sheath are substantially parallel to the first side and to the second side, previously mentioned, of the triangle in which is substantially inscribed a cross section of the box previously described.

In other words, the invention provides for the sheath and the box to have, at least in part, substantially similar shapes. In particular, the longitudinal direction, as defined above, of the box or boxes that the packaging according to the invention comprises, and a longitudinal direction of the sleeve of this packaging, defined as the main direction of elongation of the sleeve and of the brush. 'windscreen wiper housed therein, are mutually parallel in the packaging according to the invention. This makes it possible to optimize the size of the assembly.

Advantageously, the box or boxes that the packaging according to the invention comprises are inserted into the sheath of this packaging by sliding, in the longitudinal direction defined above, with respect to the aforementioned sheath. In practice, it follows from the shapes and dimensions respectively of the sleeve and of the box as described above, that, in the packaging according to the invention, such a box is inserted at one of the longitudinal ends of the sleeve, between a deflector of said at least one wiper blade and an upper edge of the sleeve. This makes it possible to avoid any untimely displacement of the box or boxes within the sheath, a displacement which could generate noises which may be perceived as signs of poor quality of the product and / or of the packaging.

The shapes and dimensions respectively of the sleeve and of the box as described above thus result in a compact arrangement of the various elements of the packaging, without unnecessary volume, which allows in particular an optimization of transport costs.

According to a third aspect, the subject of the invention is also a wiper assembly for a motor vehicle, comprising a packaging as has just been described, a plurality of adapters housed in at least one box as described above, and at least one wiper blade housed in the sleeve of a package as described above.

The invention also advantageously extends to a wiping assembly comprising a packaging as described above, at least one wiper blade housed in the sheath of such a packaging, and at least one adapter housed in at least a box as described above.

Finally, the invention extends to a method of packaging a wiper blade for a motor vehicle, comprising:

• a first step of inserting at least one wiper blade in a sleeve of a package as described above, by sliding the wiper blade relative to the sleeve in the longitudinal direction defined above,
• a second step of inserting at least one box as described above in the sleeve of a package as described above, between a deflector of said at least one wiper blade and an upper edge of the aforementioned sleeve, by sliding of the at least one box relative to the sleeve in the longitudinal direction.

During the first step of such a process, and as mentioned above, the shapes and dimensions of the sheath result in a stressing of the wiper blade, the result of which is to reduce the natural curvature of the latter. During the second step of such a method, and as mentioned above, it follows from the shapes and dimensions respectively of the wiper blade, of the sheath and of the box or boxes described above, that this or these latter are placed and retained between a wiper blade deflector and an upper edge of the barrel. In a preliminary step of such a method, the invention can provide for the insertion of one or more adapters, configured to be associated with the wiper blade, in a box as described above, the insertion of the or adapters in the box being made by longitudinal sliding of these adapters relative to the box.

Other features, details and advantages of the invention will emerge more clearly from the following description and the drawings, among which:

It should first of all be noted that if the figures set out the invention in detail for its implementation, they can of course be used to better define the invention if necessary. It should also be noted that, in all of the figures, elements that are similar and / or fulfill the same function are indicated by the same reference.

With reference to the orientations and directions defined above, the longitudinal direction will be represented, in all the figures, by the direction of an axis (Ox).

Referring to Figure 1, a box 100 according to the invention extends in a main direction of elongation parallel to the longitudinal direction (Ox), and it comprises a first main wall 1, a second main wall 2, and a third main wall 3. The first main wall 1 and the second main wall 2 will, in what follows, be designated respectively as the first side wall 1 and as the second side wall 2. The third main wall 3 will be designated in the following as the wall. basal 3.

The two side walls 1, 2, and the base wall 3 together define an interior volume 200, or receiving volume, configured to receive one or more wiper blade adapters, not shown in Figure 1.

With reference to the longitudinal direction (Ox), a plane of transverse section is defined by a transverse direction (Oy) and a vertical direction (Oz) perpendicular to each other and each of which is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (Ox), in such a way that the trihedron (O, x, y, z) forms a direct trihedron. With respect to this trihedron, the qualifiers "high" or "higher" will be represented by the positive direction of the axis (Oz), the qualifiers "low" or "lower" being represented by the negative direction of this same axis (Oz ).

As shown in Figure 1, the box 100 according to the invention has the general shape of a prism, a section of which, along a cross-sectional plane 500 as defined above, has a shape which is substantially in a triangle 300 It should be noted that, according to this exemplary embodiment, the shapes and dimensions of the box 100 are substantially identical over the entire longitudinal dimension thereof. It should also be noted that according to the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the box 100 is open at its two longitudinal ends, respectively 110, 120. Advantageously, the adapter or adapters received in the reception volume 200 are inserted into the box. by a longitudinal end 110 thereof, designated in the following as the insertion end, by longitudinal sliding inside the receiving volume 200 as indicated by the arrow F1 in FIG. 1.

According to various examples, the dimensions of the box 100 are defined to accommodate a single adapter or several adapters, placed in a longitudinal row within the reception volume 200. In other words, regardless of the number of adapters received within of the box 100, their main direction of elongation is, when they are placed in the receiving volume 200, substantially coincident, with the installation tolerances close, with the longitudinal direction (Ox) of the box 100.

According to the example more particularly illustrated by FIG. 1, the first side wall 1 and the second side wall 2 form, at their intersection, a longitudinal edge 10, designated in the following as the top edge 10. Furthermore, according to this example , the first side wall 1 and the basal wall 3 form, at their intersection, a longitudinal ridge 15, designated as the first basal ridge 15, and the intersection of the second side wall 2 with the basal wall 3 forms a longitudinal ridge 25, referred to as the second basal ridge 25 in the following. In other words, according to the example more particularly illustrated in FIG. 1, each of the side walls 1, 2, forms, with the basal wall 3, an acute angle, and the side walls 1, 2 also form between them an acute angle. In cross section along a plane such as the previously defined plane 500, the vertices of the previously mentioned triangle 300 are formed by the intersections of the abovementioned edges 10, 15, 25 with the considered cross section plane.

According to the example more particularly illustrated by FIG. 1, the triangle 300 mentioned above is an isosceles triangle whose vertex consists of the intersection of the aforementioned top edge 10 with the transverse section plane 500 defined above. In other words, according to this example, the box 100 has a vertical longitudinal plane of symmetry 600 containing the top edge 10 mentioned above.

As shown in Figure 1, the basal wall 3 is formed of a first part 30, substantially planar, which extends from the first basal ridge 15 towards the interior of the reception volume 200 previously defined, and of a second part 31, substantially planar, which extends from the second basal ridge 25 towards the interior of the aforementioned receiving volume 200. In other words, the first part 30 and the second part 31 of the basal wall 30 extend towards each other from respectively the first basal ridge 15 and the second basal ridge 25. First part 30 and second part 31 of the basal wall 3 form, at their intersection, a longitudinal ridge 35, hereinafter referred to as internal ridge 35.

According to the example more particularly illustrated by FIG. 1, the internal ridge 35 is, in the direction of the transverse axis (Oy) defined above, located at an equal distance from the first basal ridge 15 and from the second basal ridge. 35. In other words, according to this exemplary embodiment, which is particularly advantageous but not exclusive, the aforementioned internal edge 35 is located in the plane of symmetry 600 previously described. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1, the internal edge 35 is located, in the direction of the vertical axis (Oz) defined above, between the top edge 10 and the basal edges 15, 25, previously described. In other words, the intersection of the internal ridge 35 with the cross-sectional plane 500 is located both inside the previously defined triangle 300 and inside the receiving volume 200.

This is more particularly visible in Figure 2, which shows a cross section, for example along a plane such as the previously defined cross-sectional plane 500, of a box 100 such as that illustrated in Figure 1. In Figure 2 is also shown, in cross section, an adapter 400 received in the interior volume 200, previously defined, delimited by the side walls 1, 2, and by the base wall 3 of the box 100. Figure 2 also shows a triangle 300 such than that previously mentioned, in which the cross section of the box 100 is substantially inscribed.

According to the example more particularly illustrated by FIG. 2, the first side wall 1 and the second side wall 2 respectively form, in cross section, a first side 11 and a second side 21, substantially parallel respectively to a first side 310 and to a second side 320 of the triangle 300. More precisely, the first side 11 and the second side 21 of the cross section of the box 100 have, with respect to the first side 310 and the second side 320 of the previously defined triangle 300, profiles slightly convex, the curvature of which is oriented towards the interior of the reception volume 200 defined above. In other words, according to the exemplary embodiment illustrated by FIGS. 1 and 2, the reception volume 200 is slightly greater than the volume of a right prism, the cross section of which is represented by the aforementioned triangle 300.

According to another example, not shown in the figures, the first side 11 and the second side 21 of the cross section of the box 100 may have, relative to the first side 310 and the second side 320 of the triangle 300 defined above, profiles slightly concave, the curvature of which is oriented towards the outside of the reception volume 200. The reception volume 200 is then slightly less than the volume of the right prism mentioned above.

According to yet another example, not shown in the figures, the side walls 1, 2, of the box 100 can be flat: the first side 11 and the second side 21 of the cross section of the box 100 are then merged respectively with the first side 310 and with the second side 320 of the triangle 300 defined above. In other words, in this case, the box 100 and the right prism mentioned above are the same, except for manufacturing tolerances.

Figure 2 shows an adapter 400 inserted into the receiving volume 200 defined by the receiving box 100. It is clear from this figure that the configuration of the side walls 1, 2, and the basal wall 3 of the box 100 allow both a guide and a form of blocking of the adapter 400 in the reception volume 200 previously defined. More precisely, the particular shape of the basal wall 3, previously described, allows a part of two lateral flanks 401, 402 to be placed in abutment, respectively against the first part 30 and against the second part 31 of the basal wall 3. Furthermore, the particular profile of the side walls 1, 2, according to this example, provides longitudinal guidance and locking of the adapter 400 when it is inserted into the box 100.

The box 100 according to the invention therefore constitutes, for one or more adapters 400, a container whose shapes and dimensions are precisely defined for the packaging of such adapters. Indeed, as shown in Figure 2, it follows from the shapes and dimensions of the box 100 that, when an adapter 400 is placed in the box 100, the unoccupied part of the receiving volume 200 is reduced to a minimum.

According to various examples, the box 100 can be made of cardboard or of a plastic material such as polyethylene terephthalate, also known by the abbreviation PET, the flexibility of such materials allowing the box 100 to possibly deform slightly during the packing. insertion of the adapter (s) which it receives, in order to reinforce the longitudinal locking of such adapters against the side walls 1, 2. Furthermore, the low cost of such materials makes possible inexpensive manufacture, in large quantities, of the box 100.

It should be noted that the particular configuration of the basal wall 3 of the box 100, in addition to the guiding and the bearing, previously mentioned, that it achieves, also allows a simple stacking, in the vertical direction (Oz) defined above. , several boxes 100 between them. In the event of transporting batches of boxes 100 filled with adapters 400, such a shape makes it possible to increase the quantity of boxes transported and, thus, to optimize transport costs.

FIG. 3 illustrates the simplicity of production of the box 100. In this figure is shown a sheet 700 of a material such as, for example, cardboard, sheet from which the box 100 can be made.

The sheet 700 is flat, substantially rectangular, the dimension of its long sides is advantageously substantially equal to the longitudinal dimension of the box 100. The lines 710a to 710d shown in dotted lines in FIG. 3 are fold lines of the sheet 700 .

The box 100 is shaped by folding the sheet 700 along the various lines 710a to 710d. More precisely, for an observer looking at the plane of the sheet 700 as illustrated in FIG. 3, the folding effected along the first fold line 710a has the effect of bringing the portion 750 of the sheet 700 closer to the observer. , while the folds carried out along the fold lines 710b, 710c, 710d, are advantageously carried out in the opposite direction with respect to the plane of the sheet 700. In other words, seen by the observer mentioned above, the folding carried out along the first fold line 710a is an intaglio fold, while the other folds made along the fold lines 710b to 710d are protruding folds.

The box 100 is then formed by bringing together the edges 720, 730, respectively of a first large side 701 and of a second large side 702 of the sheet 700. More precisely, the edges 720, 730 , aforementioned are brought together in such a way that:

• the portion of the sheet 700 between the first fold line 710a and the second fold line 710b forms the first part 30 of the basal wall 3 of the box 100,
• the portion of the sheet 700 between the second fold line 710b and the third fold line 710c forms the first side wall 1 defined above,
• the portion of the sheet 700 between the third fold line 710c and the fourth fold line 710d forms the second side wall 2 previously defined,
• and the portion of the sheet 700 between the fourth fold line 710d and the edge 730 of the second long side 702 forms the second part 31 of the basal wall 3 of the box 100.

It then follows from the above that:

• the first fold line 710a forms the internal edge 35 of the box 100,
• the second fold line 710b forms the first basal ridge 15 of the box 100,
• the third fold line 710c forms the top edge 10 of the box 100,
• the fourth fold line 710d forms the second basal ridge 25 of the box 100.

To form the receiving volume 200 of the box 100, the portion 760 of the sheet 700 lying between the fourth fold line 710d and the edge 730 of the second long side 702 is advantageously folded down against the portion 750 of the sheet 700 lying between the edge 720 of the first large side 701 and the first fold line 710a, and these two portions are fixed together, for example by gluing or by welding depending on the nature of the material constituting the sheet 700. It should be noted that, to facilitate This operation, the longitudinal dimension of the sheet 700 decreases slightly from the first folding edge 710a to the edge 720 of the first long side 701.

The production of a box 100 as described above and illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 is therefore particularly simple, from an inexpensive material, and it requires a reduced number of simple operations, such as folding and gluing. It should be noted that once formed, such a box 100 is open at its two longitudinal ends.

According to an example not shown in the figures, the sheet 700 can serve as a support for assembly instructions, for example assembly instructions for the adapter (s) 400 received in the box 100 with a wiper blade, and / or instructions for mounting a wiper blade intended to receive one or more adapters 400 received in the box 100 with different drive arms from different vehicles. According to various examples, such instructions can be printed directly on the sheet 700 before folding it to form the box 100, or they can be printed on a flat support such as a sheet of paper or plastic, attached, by for example by gluing, on the sheet 700 before or after folding to form the box 100. In all cases, the user of the adapter or adapters 400 placed in the box 100 can, after having extracted this or these adapters from the box 100, break the glue previously mentioned to completely unfold the sheet 700 and thus simply consult the aforementioned assembly instructions. This makes it possible to avoid the addition, in the box 100, of instructions printed separately, thus reducing the number of operations to be carried out and the manufacturing costs of such a box.

Figure 4 illustrates an alternative embodiment of a box 100 as described above and illustrated by Figures 1 and 2, in which the side walls 1, 2, of the box 100 are attached to each other and to the basal wall 3 by intermediate walls. More precisely, according to this variant, the first side wall 1 is attached to the second side wall 2 by a first intermediate wall 101 and to the first part 30 of the basal wall 3 by a second intermediate wall 102, and the second side wall 2 is attached to the second part 31 of the basal wall 3 by a third intermediate wall 103. The top edge 10 defined by the intersection of the first side wall 1 with the second side wall 2 is then formed of two intermediate top edges, 10a, 10b, respectively formed by the intersection of the first side wall 1 with the first intermediate wall 101 and by the intersection of the first intermediate wall 101 with the second side wall 2. Similarly, the first basal ridge 15, previously defined, is, according to this variant embodiment, made up of two intermediate edges 15a, 15b, respectively formed by the intersection of the first side wall 1 with the second intermediate wall 102 and by the intersection of the second intermediate wall 102 with the basal wall 3, more precisely, with the first part 30 of the basal wall 3. Finally, the second basal ridge 25, previously defined , is, according to this variant embodiment, consisting of two intermediate ridges 25a, 25b, respectively formed by the intersection of the second side wall 2 with the third intermediate wall 103 and by the intersection of the third intermediate wall 103 with the wall basal 3, more precisely, with the second part 31 of the basal wall 3. It should be noted that the intermediate ridges 10a, 10b, 15a, 15b, 25a, 25b, are all, according to this variant embodiment, substantially parallel to each other , up to manufacturing tolerances, and that they all extend in the longitudinal direction of the previously defined axis (Ox).

Such a configuration allows, for example, the insertion, in the box 100, of an adapter whose sides intended to be placed in abutment respectively against the first part 30 and against the second part 31 of the basal wall 3, present, along the transverse direction of the previously defined axis (Oy), a large dimension making it difficult to insert such adapters into a box 100, the side walls 1, 2 of which form between them and with the base wall 3 acute angles, as illustrated by Figures 1 and 2. Such a configuration has, moreover, an advantage, for example, in the case of a separate sales market of boxes 100 containing one or more adapters, the boxes 100 can then be presented posed. on the intermediate walls 102, 103, mentioned above. Furthermore, the manufacture of such a box 100, on a model similar to the model described above and illustrated in FIG. 3, only requires the production of additional fold lines on the sheet 700: such a configuration therefore does not call into question the simplicity of manufacture of the 100 box.

FIG. 5 illustrates more particularly an exemplary embodiment of a longitudinal locking member of an adapter 400 in a box 100 similar to that illustrated in FIG. 1. In fact, as indicated above, the longitudinal end of The insertion 110 and the opposite longitudinal end 120 of the box 100 are advantageously both open, and an adapter 400, not shown in FIG. 5, intended to be placed in the box 100 is inserted into the receiving volume 200 of the latter. here by longitudinal sliding between the side walls 1, 2, and the basal wall 3. It follows, depending on the spatial orientation of the box 100, a risk of ejection of such an adapter, for example by the aforementioned longitudinal end 120 of the box 100. Such an ejection can, for example, occur during the consecutive insertion of a second adapter into the box 100 by longitudinal sliding in the direction of the arrow F1 previously released. written.

To overcome this risk, the invention proposes, as shown in Figure 5, the arrangement of a slot 4 in the basal wall 3 of the box 100.

More precisely, with reference to FIG. 5, the slot 4 is arranged in the vicinity of the longitudinal end 120 of the box 100 opposite the insertion end 110, previously defined, of the latter. In other words, according to the longitudinal direction defined above, the slot 4 is, according to the example more particularly illustrated in FIG. 5, further from the insertion end 110 of the box 100 than from the longitudinal end. 120 opposite of the latter.

As shown in Figure 5, the lumen 4 comprises a first part 40 which extends, in the first part 30 of the basal wall 3, from the internal ridge 35, previously defined, in the direction of the first basal ridge. 15, and a second part 41 which extends, in the second part 31 of the basal wall 3, from the aforementioned internal ridge 35, in the direction of the second basal ridge 25. According to the example more particularly illustrated by Figure 5, not exclusive, the first part 40 and the second part 41 of the slot 4 extend substantially symmetrically on either side of the internal ridge 35, in a main direction of elongation substantially parallel to the direction transverse of the previously defined axis (Oy), that is to say substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (Ox) of the internal edge 35. Furthermore, the end, respectively, of the first part 40 and of the second part 41, of the light 4, opposite the int ridge The aforementioned erne 35 extends between the latter and, respectively, the first basal ridge 15 and the second basal ridge 25. In other words, according to this exemplary embodiment, the first part 40 and the second part 41 of the lumen 4 are not s' extend neither up to the first basal ridge 15 nor up to the second basal ridge 25. This makes it possible in particular to maintain a certain rigidity to the box 100.

Figure 6 shows an adapter 400 placed in a box 100 such as that shown in Figure 5. As shown in this figure, a wall 410 of the adapter 400, substantially parallel to a plane defined by the directions (Oy) and ( Oz) previously described, is received in the slot 4 previously described, thus achieving a longitudinal locking of the adapter 400 within the box 100. Advantageously, the longitudinal dimension of the slot 4 is defined so as to allow easy insertion of the thickness of the aforementioned wall 410 within it, while achieving effective longitudinal locking of the adapter 400 in the receiving volume 200.

According to an exemplary embodiment not illustrated by the figures, several slots 4 can be distributed longitudinally in the basal wall 3 of the box 100, in particular in the case where the latter accommodates several adapters 400. Each slot 4 then performs a longitudinal blocking of the box. one of the adapters received in the box 100, thus achieving a longitudinal locking both of each of them relative to the box 100 and relative to the other adapters 400 received in this box. This makes it possible, in particular, to avoid any impact between the various adapters placed in the box 100, impacts which can generate functional or aesthetic damage to these adapters, and which can also generate noise perceived by a user as signs of poor quality. of the products and / or the box containing them.

FIGS. 7a and 7b illustrate another example of a locking member for an adapter 400 within a box 100 according to the invention.

According to this example, a slot 5 is arranged in the side walls 1, 2, of the box 100. More precisely, according to this example, the aforementioned slot 5 comprises a first part 50 arranged, in the first side wall 1, from the top ridge 10, in the direction of the first basal ridge 15, and a second part 51 arranged, in the second side wall 2, from the top ridge 10, in the direction of the second basal ridge 25. As shown in the illustration. FIGS. 7a and 7b, the slot 5 is arranged in the vicinity of a longitudinal end 110, 120, of the box 100. According to one example, the slot 5 is arranged in the vicinity of the longitudinal end 120 opposite to the end d 'insertion 110, of the box 100, that is to say that it is, in the longitudinal direction, further from the insertion end 110 than from the opposite longitudinal end 120. According to an alternative example, a slot 5 can be arranged in the vicinity of each of the longitudinal ends of the box 100.

Referring to Figures 7a and 7b, the end of the first part 50 of the slot 5 opposite the top ridge 10 extends, in the first side wall 1, between the top ridge 10 and the first basal ridge 15 , and the end of the second part 51 of the slot 5 opposite the top edge 10 extends, in the second side wall 2, between the top edge 10 and the second basal edge 25. According to the example more particularly illustrated by Figures 7a and 7b, the first part 50 of the slot 5 and the second part 51 of the latter are arranged substantially at an equal distance from the top edge 10 and, more precisely, substantially symmetrically on either side of the previously defined plane of symmetry 600. The slot 5 therefore extends, according to this example, in a main direction of elongation parallel to the transverse direction of the axis (Oy) defined above.

Advantageously, a first fold mark 510 is arranged in the first side wall 1, at the end of the first part 50 of the slot 5 opposite the top edge 10, and a second fold mark 520 is arranged in the second side wall 2, at the end of the second part 51 of the slot 5 opposite the top edge 10. More precisely, the first folding mark 510 extends, in the longitudinal direction defined above, between the first part 50 of the slot 5 and the longitudinal end 110, 120, in the vicinity of which the slot 5 is arranged, and the second folding mark 520 extends, in the longitudinal direction, between the second part 51 of the slot 5 and the 'longitudinal end 110, 120, in the vicinity of which the slot 5 is arranged.

The slot 5 and the fold marks 510, 520, thus define, respectively, in the first side wall 1, a first strip of material 515, and, in the second side wall 2, a second strip of material 525, joined together. by a portion 105 of the top edge 10 extending from the slot 5 to the longitudinal end 110, 120, of the box 100 in the vicinity of which the aforementioned slot 5 is arranged.

As shown in Figures 7a and 7b, a simple support directed, in the vertical direction of the axis (Oz) defined above, from the top edge 10 towards the basal wall 3 of the box 100, leads, thanks to the flexibility of the material constituting the box 100 and in the shape of the slot 5, to a deformation by torsion of the first strip of material 515 and of the second strip of material 525, so as to approximate, in the vertical direction of the axis ( Oz), the portion 105, previously defined, of the top edge 10, of the internal edge 35 of the box 100. Such a support is represented by the arrow F2 in FIGS. 7a and 7b.

As shown in FIG. 7b, the first strip of material 515 and the second strip of material 525 then constitute, across the longitudinal end 110, 120, in the vicinity of which the slot 5 is arranged, a form of locking bead. preventing the ejection, in the longitudinal direction, of an adapter 400 by this longitudinal end, and constituting the previously mentioned longitudinal locking member.

FIG. 8 illustrates, in cross section along a plane perpendicular to its main direction of elongation, a package 6 according to a second aspect of the invention. FIG. 9 illustrates, for its part, in perspective, such a packaging 6 and the method of packaging a box 100 and a wiper blade 800 therein.

As shown in Figure 8, the package 6 comprises a box 100 as previously described, and a sleeve 60 configured to receive at least one wiper blade.

For simplicity, only an 800 wiper blade is shown here.

Advantageously, the sheath 60 is made of a material having a certain flexibility, such as, for example, cardboard or a polyethylene terephthalate known by the abbreviation of PET. The wiper blade 800 comprises in particular a wiper blade 810, as well as a structure 820 carrying the wiper blade 810, and a deflector 830. It follows from the above that the wiper blade ice 800, as well as the sleeve 60, extend in a main direction of elongation parallel to the longitudinal direction (Ox) defined above, and parallel to the main direction of elongation of the box 100.

According to the example more particularly illustrated by Figures 8 and 9, the sleeve 60 comprises in particular a first main wall 61a and a second main wall 61b which define between them a housing 65 for receiving the wiper blade 800.

More precisely, the first main wall 61a and the second main wall 61b of the sleeve 60 have, according to the embodiment more particularly illustrated by Figures 8 and 9, substantially convex profiles whose curvature is directed towards the interior of the housing reception 65 previously defined. More precisely still, according to the example illustrated by these figures, the first main wall 61a and the second main wall 61b form, at their intersection, respectively an upper edge 62 and a lower edge 63.

As shown in Figure 9, the wiper blade 800 is inserted into the sleeve 60 by longitudinal sliding in the receiving housing 65, illustrated by the arrow F3 in Figure 9.

More precisely, with reference to FIG. 8, the wiper blade 800 is inserted into the sleeve 60 such that the wiper blade 810 is located in a lower part 650 of the receiving housing 65, delimited by the main walls 61a, 61b, mentioned above, in the vicinity of the lower edge 63 previously defined. Advantageously, the invention provides that the shape of the sheath 60, in its aforementioned lower part 650, is substantially complementary to a shape in which the wiper blade 810 fits, such that the free space left around the latter in the reception housing 65 is as small as possible. More precisely, the invention provides that the shapes and dimensions of the main walls 61a, 61b, of the sleeve 60, are defined such that their interior faces, that is to say their faces situated inside the housing of reception 65, form a longitudinal guide and a transverse hold of the supporting structure 820 of the wiper blade 800, as shown in Figure 8.

As shown in Figure 8, the box 100 as previously described is, in the package 6, inserted in the receiving housing 65, between the upper edge 62 and the deflector 830 of the wiper blade 800.

More precisely, according to the invention, the shapes and dimensions of the sleeve 60 are defined such that, during its insertion by longitudinal sliding in the receiving housing 65, the wiper blade 800 is put under stress according to the vertical direction of the previously defined axis (Oz), so as to reduce its natural curvature. More precisely still, the shapes and dimensions of the sleeve 60 are defined in such a way that, as shown in FIG. 9, once the wiper blade 800 has been inserted into the receiving housing 65, part of the deflector 830 is located resting against the upper edge 62 previously defined, this edge thus ensuring a vertical blocking of the wiper blade 800 in the sleeve 60 and achieving, thanks to the natural elasticity of the wiper blade 800, a retention mechanics of the latter in the reception housing 65.

However, it results from the natural curvature of the wiper blade 800 that a free space 651, visible in FIG. 9, is then provided, at each longitudinal end of the wiper blade 800 and of the sleeve 60, between the upper edge 62 previously defined and the deflector 830 of the wiper blade 800. In the package 6 according to the invention, the box 100 as previously described, containing one or more adapters 400 configured to be associated with the wiper blade 800, is inserted into this free space 651, by sliding longitudinally within the receiving housing 65, for example in the direction illustrated by the arrow F4 in FIG. 9. According to various examples, a box 100 can be inserted at only one longitudinal end of the sleeve 60, or a box 100 may be inserted at each longitudinal end of the sleeve 60.

It should be clearly understood here that, in the packaging 6 according to the invention, the box 100 is inserted by longitudinal sliding in the sleeve 60, independently of the latter and of the wiper blade 800.

As shown in Figure 8, the invention provides that the shapes and dimensions of the sleeve 60 and of the box 100 are defined such that the interior faces, previously mentioned, of the main walls 61a, 61b, of the sleeve 60, constitute a guiding and blocking form for the side walls 1, 2, previously defined, of the box 100. More precisely, as shown in Figure 8, the first side 11, previously defined, of the cross section of the first side wall 1 of the box 100, is substantially parallel to a first side 610a of the cross section of the first main wall 61a of the sleeve 60, and the second side 21, previously defined, of the cross section of the second side wall 2 of the box 100 is substantially parallel to a second side 610b of the cross section of the second main wall 61b of the sleeve 60.

According to one example, the sleeve 60 may comprise means for longitudinally locking the box or boxes 100 within it: by way of nonlimiting example, locking means such as that described above and illustrated by FIGS. 7a and 7b, for longitudinally blocking one or more adapters 400 in the box 100, can be implemented to retain the box 100 longitudinally in the sleeve 60. Alternatively, the sleeve 60 may include folding parts at each of its longitudinal ends, in order to close off those - here once the box or boxes 100 have been inserted into the sleeve 60.

In addition, as shown in Figure 8, the box 100 is inserted into the receiving housing 65 of the sleeve 60 so that its internal edge 35 is placed substantially in support of a part of the deflector 830 of the wiper blade. glass 800. More precisely, it follows from the above that the deflector 830 forms a sort of longitudinal stop for the internal edge 35 of the box 100, thus contributing to the longitudinal blocking of the latter in the receiving housing 65 of the sleeve 60 .

FIG. 9 also illustrates a packaging method according to the invention:

• in a first step, a wiper blade 800 is inserted, by longitudinal sliding in the direction illustrated by the arrow F3, in the sleeve 60 of a package 6 as described above. In this sliding, the wiper blade 800 is located, at least over part of the longitudinal dimension of the wiper blade, stressed in the vertical direction of the axis (Oz) defined above, from such that its natural curvature is reduced,
• in a second step, at least one box 100 as previously described, in which are placed one or more adapters 400 (not shown in FIG. 9) configured to be associated with the wiper blade 800, is inserted, by sliding longitudinal in the direction illustrated by arrow F4, in the free space 651 defined above. It should be noted that, in the case where a box 100 is inserted at each of the longitudinal ends of the sleeve 60, one of these boxes will be inserted by longitudinal sliding in the direction of the arrow F4 as indicated above, while the box 100, inserted at the opposite longitudinal end of the sleeve 60, will be inserted at this end in the direction of arrow F3.

The method according to the invention can also comprise a preliminary step of inserting one or more adapters 400 into the aforementioned box or boxes 100.

The invention, as it has just been described, therefore makes it possible, by simple means, to produce a simple and inexpensive packaging of a wiper blade and adapters intended to be associated with a such broom. By producing the box 100 as described and illustrated in the present document, the invention offers the possibility of packaging such adapters independently of the packaging of the wiper blade. In addition, the simple shapes of the box 100 and their complementarity with the shapes of the sheath 60 described and illustrated in this document allow, in a simple and inexpensive manner, a grouped packaging of such a wiper blade and the or corresponding adapters. The conditioning operation is, moreover, simplified by the fact that, in the conditioning process according to the invention, the box 100 is inserted into the sleeve 60 independently of the wiper blade, which makes it possible to avoid concomitant, complex manipulations of the wiper blade and the corresponding adapter (s).

The invention cannot however be limited to the means and configurations described and illustrated, and it also applies to all equivalent means or configurations and to any combination of such means. In particular, if the sleeve 60 has been described in the foregoing according to an exemplary embodiment in which its main walls 61a, 61b form between them acute angles materialized by the upper edge 62 and the lower edge 63, the The invention extends of course, insofar as it has the same functional characteristics as those described in the present document, to a configuration in which the main walls 61a, 61b, of the sleeve 60, are interconnected by intermediate walls, so that in cross section the aforementioned acute angles are cut.
