Abstract

Device for reducing the space taken by a container for liquid materials by folding it and maintaining it in a folded position by self-locking. The invention relates to a device for folding a container configured like bellows (1) and for maintaining the container in a folded position by self-locking by nesting the container bottom (2) presenting an extra width (6) into the groove (7) of the container neck (3) or vice-versa. The concave conical shape of the botton (2) provides for the nesting of successive containers. The device is particularly adapted to reduce the space taken by empty containers for all applications before use and essentially as waste; it also reduces the air volume of the container when the latter is only partially filled.

Description

Récipient pliable pour liquides s'auto-bloquant en position pliéeFoldable container for self-locking liquids in folded position
La présente invention concerne un récipient de matière plastique qui est destiné à l'usage courant comme contenant des liquides tels que eaux, lait, jus, à jeter dès lors qu'il est vidé.The present invention relates to a plastic container which is intended for everyday use as containing liquids such as water, milk, juice, to be thrown away when it is emptied.
Le fait qu'il soit pliable et qu'il possède en lui même le moyen de rester bloqué en position pliée confère l'avantage d'un moindre encombrement en tant que déchet. Maintenu en position pliée, le récipient réduit sensiblement son encombrement entre le lieu de sa production et le lieu de son remplissage. Il peut être aussi maintenu dans cette position pliée dans des appareils distributeurs dudit récipient commercialisé vide. Les récipients habituels à jeter sont conçus soit sur la base des traditionnelles bouteilles de verre et , malgré le fait qu'ils soient en matière plastique, ils restent également rigides et inappropriés à la réduction de leur volume, soit ils sont en matière cartonnée avec revêtement intérieur étanche, donc opaques, ceux-ci n'étanx réductibles qu'au moyen d'une manipulation à deux mains et complexe. Par ailleurs, les autres types de récipients-dispositifs à enveloppes souples pour pâtes et crèmes sont inappropriés pour les liquides fluides.The fact that it is foldable and that it has in itself the means of remaining locked in the folded position gives the advantage of less bulk as waste. Maintained in the folded position, the container significantly reduces its size between the place of production and the place of filling. It can also be kept in this folded position in dispensing devices of said empty commercial container. The usual disposable containers are designed either on the basis of traditional glass bottles and, despite the fact that they are made of plastic, they also remain rigid and unsuitable for reducing their volume, or they are made of coated cardboard material waterproof interior, therefore opaque, these can only be reduced by means of two-handed and complex manipulation. Furthermore, the other types of container with flexible envelopes for pastes and creams are unsuitable for fluid liquids.
Dans le cas de l'invention, le récipient est rigide dans sa forme initiale, une pression de la main le plie comme un soufflet et le blocage issu du même mouvement tient l'objet en position pliée. Le blocage s'obtient par le serrage ou le clipsage du fond du récipient dans le goulot. Par ailleurs, le récipient peut être redéplié et reservir dans sa fonction initiale.In the case of the invention, the container is rigid in its initial shape, a pressure of the hand folds it like a bellows and the blocking resulting from the same movement holds the object in the folded position. The blocking is obtained by clamping or clipping the bottom of the container into the neck. Furthermore, the container can be redeployed and reserved in its initial function.
La présente invention consiste en la présentation d'un récipient pliable pouvant être auto-maintenu en position pliée dans le but de réduire son encombrement lorsqu'il est vide. Elle permet aussi de réduire le volume d'air intérieur lorsque le récipient est partiellement rempli, de manière à éviter toute altération du contenu par oxydation, perte de saveur ou d'arôme.The present invention consists in the presentation of a collapsible container which can be self-maintained in the folded position in order to reduce its size when it is empty. It also makes it possible to reduce the volume of interior air when the container is partially filled, so as to avoid any alteration of the content by oxidation, loss of flavor or aroma.
Ce mouvement de pliage du récipient est rendu possible par sa structure de plissures de sa paroi, c'est à dire des surfaces tronconiques ou troncpyramidales élémentaires, selon la section du volume, en directions opposées alternées, lui procurant une forme de soufflet.This folding movement of the container is made possible by its structure of folds of its wall, that is to say elementary frustoconical or frustoconical surfaces, depending on the section of the volume, in alternating opposite directions, giving it a form of bellows.
La concavité du fond de section équivalente au goulot favorise l'empilement des récipients (soit en position déployée, soit en position pliée) et la stabilisation en position empilée par emboîtement goulot/fond de deux bouteilles successives.The concavity of the bottom section equivalent to the neck promotes stacking of the containers (either in the deployed position or in the folded position) and stabilization in the stacked position by fitting the neck / bottom of two successive bottles.
La forme et le dispositif du récipient est valable pour des fabrications à l'aide de matériaux plastiques ou cartonnés, ces derniers devant être étanchélsés; les récipients peuvent être transparents, translucides ou encore opaques.The shape and arrangement of the container is valid for manufacturing using plastic or cardboard materials, the latter having to be sealed; the containers can be transparent, translucent or even opaque.
La structure du récipient est cependant principalement réalisée à l'aide d'un matériau plastique semi-souple, par exemple du type polyéthylène, fabriqué de préférence par extrusion soufflage, rendant l'ensemble du récipient monolithe et étanche. La pression manuelle verticale sur le goulot du récipient provoque un fléchissement a. la hauteur de chaque pli déjà engagé dans la forme à soufflet, ce qui crée un tassement général du récipient, jusqu'à son blocage en position comprimée. Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention: La figure 1 représente en semi-coupe semi-élévation le récipient dans sa position déployée, prêt à recevoir le contenu auquel il est destiné. Il est principalement composé d'une paroi à soufflet (1), d'un fond conique (2) muni d'une surlargeur à son sommet (6) de hauteur (H) égale à l'entassement du récipient et d'un col avec goulot (3) muni d'une gorge (7). Les plis positifs (4) et négatifs (5) sont produits selon un rayon susceptible de conserver suffisamment de nerf pour une tenue normale du récipient, s'affaissant néanmoins sous une pression manuelle. Les surfaces planes ou sections cylindriques ou encore tronconiques peuvent être produites à choix dans la hauteur du récipient, propres à recevoir des inscriptions.The container structure is however mainly produced using a semi-flexible plastic material, for example of the polyethylene type, preferably produced by blow-molding, making the entire container monolithic and waterproof. Vertical manual pressure on the container neck causes deflection a. the height of each fold already engaged in the bellows shape, which creates a general compaction of the container, until it locks in the compressed position. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: Figure 1 shows in semi-elevation semi-section the container in its deployed position, ready to receive the content for which it is intended. It is mainly composed of a bellows wall (1), a conical bottom (2) provided with an extra width at its top (6) of height (H) equal to the crowding of the container and a neck with neck (3) provided with a groove (7). The positive (4) and negative (5) folds are produced according to a radius capable of retaining enough nerve for normal holding of the container, nevertheless subsiding under manual pressure. The flat surfaces or cylindrical or frustoconical sections can be produced as desired in the height of the container, suitable for receiving inscriptions.
La figure 2 représente le récipient dans sa position pliée et auto-bloquée. Le blocage est réalisé par la pression manuelle sur le col du récipient en direction du fond, sous cette pression, une surlargeur du fond (6) se loge dans une gorge du goulot (7). Cette surlargeur du fond étant de section légèrement inférieure, à la section de la gorge du goulot. Le système représenté dans les figures 1 et 2 n'est pas limitatif, l'invention s'étendant à tout dispositif de clipsage dimilaire, comme avant, c'est à dire que la surlargeur (6) peut devenir une gorge rentrante et la gorge du goulot (7) peut devenir une protubérance intérieure de section légèrement supérieure à la partie correspondante du fond. Le fond est de forme conique et concave de section équivalente au col du goulot du récipient, ce qui permet l'emboîtement comme l'empilement d'un récipient successif, plié ou déployé, comme figuré en pointillé dans la figure 1.Figure 2 shows the container in its folded and self-locked position. The blocking is achieved by manual pressure on the container neck towards the bottom, under this pressure, a bottom widening (6) is housed in a throat of the neck (7). This extra width of the bottom being of slightly smaller section, than the section of the throat of the neck. The system represented in FIGS. 1 and 2 is not limiting, the invention extending to any device for dimensional clipping, such as before, that is to say that the extra width (6) can become a re-entrant groove and the throat of the neck (7) can become an internal protuberance of section slightly greater than the corresponding part of the bottom. The bottom is conical and concave in cross section equivalent to the neck of the container neck, which allows the nesting like stacking of a successive container, folded or deployed, as shown in dotted lines in FIG. 1.
La figure 3 représente une série de variantes de formes de sections horizontales et de formes de profils de récipients munis du même dispositif.FIG. 3 represents a series of variant shapes of horizontal sections and shapes of container profiles provided with the same device.
L'ensemble du dispositif est applicable à tout récipient de taille courante jusqu'à une contenance de cinq litres.The entire device is applicable to any standard container up to a capacity of five liters.
Il est encore ici précisé que l'invention se distingue de l'invention brevet français No 1.593.622, celle-ci se présentant sous la forme d'un récipiant pliable de forme conique, à surface trop lisse, impropre à sa bonne saisie manuelle, ceci à la différence de l'invention décrite qui, par ses canelures, favorise une bonne tenue manuelle; par ailleurs, son mode de plissures d'un angle proche de 180 degrés sollicite trop le nerf du matériau et par conséquent réduit sensiblement la fréquence du pliage.It is also specified here that the invention is distinguished from the invention French patent No 1,593,622, the latter being in the form of a collapsible container of conical shape, with too smooth surface, unsuitable for good manual entry. , this in contrast to the invention described which, by its grooves, promotes good manual strength; moreover, its pleating mode at an angle close to 180 degrees places too much stress on the nerve of the material and consequently significantly reduces the frequency of folding.
L'invention se distingue aussi de l'invention brevet français No 2.504.095, celle-ci se présentant sous la forme d'un récipient pliable muni d'un double dispositif complémentaire d'agrafes qui prennent appui sur le goulot pour l'une, et sur le fond pour l'autre, en vue de maintenir ledit récipient en diverses positions partiellement pliées jusqu'au pliage complet. Ce dispositif nécessitant le concours de pièces complémentaires d'un autre matériau est non économique et ne présente pas de solution garantissant la non perte des agrafes lors des multiples manutentions, ceci à la différence de l'invention décrite qui est monolithe et fabriquée en une seule opération d'extrusion-soufflage. The invention also differs from the French patent invention No 2.504.095, the latter being in the form of a collapsible container provided with a double complementary device of staples which bear on the neck for one , and on the bottom for the other, in order to maintain said container in various partially folded positions until complete folding. This device requiring the assistance of complementary parts of another material is uneconomical and does not present a solution guaranteeing the non-loss of staples during multiple handling, this in contrast to the invention described which is monolithic and manufactured in a single extrusion-blowing operation.
