Les caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention seront exposés plus en détail dans la description ci-après, en se référant aux dessins annexés.The characteristics and advantages of the invention will be described in more detail in the description below, in referring to the attached drawings.

La figure 1 est une vue de côté schématique d'un carton selon l'invention contenant deux bouteilles, dans sa position de manipulation.Figure 1 is a schematic side view of a carton according the invention containing two bottles, in its position of handling.

La figure 2 est une vue de face schématique du carton. Figure 2 is a schematic front view of the carton.

La figure 3 est une vue analogue à la figure 2, montrant le carton dans sa position d'entreposage.Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2 showing the carton in its storage position.

La figure 4 est une vue en bout schématique du carton vide, dans sa position de manipulation.FIG. 4 is a schematic end view of the empty carton, in its handling position.

La figure 5 représente un flan utilisable pour la réalisation du carton des figures 1 à 4.FIG. 5 represents a blank usable for making from the box of figures 1 to 4.

Le carton illustré comprend deux parties 1a et 1b ayant chacune la forme d'un prisme droit à bases carrées, ces deux parties étant sensiblement de mêmes dimensions. Les parties 1a et 1b présentent donc chacune quatre faces latérales sensiblement rectangulaires, à savoir une première face 2a, 2b, une seconde face 3a, 3b reliée à la première face par une arête 4a, 4b, une troisième face 5a, 5b opposée à la seconde face 3a, 3b et une quatrième face 6a, 6b opposée à la première face 2a, 2b. La forme prismatique est complétée par une base inférieure 7a, 7b et par une base supérieure 8a, 8b.The illustrated cardboard comprises two parts 1a and 1b having each the shape of a square prism, these two parts being substantially the same dimensions. The parts 1a and 1b therefore each have four lateral faces substantially rectangular, namely a first face 2a, 2b, a second face 3a, 3b connected to the first face by a edge 4a, 4b, a third face 5a, 5b opposite the second side 3a, 3b and a fourth side 6a, 6b opposite the first side 2a, 2b. The prismatic form is completed by a lower base 7a, 7b and by an upper base 8a, 8b.

Les arêtes 4a et 4b sont pratiquement confondues et définissent un axe autour duquel les parties la et 1b peuvent pivoter l'une par rapport à l'autre d'un angle de 180° entre une première position montrée sur la figure 3 et en trait interrompu sur la figure 4, dans laquelle les premières faces latérales 2a, 2b sont mutuellement en vis-à-vis, et une seconde position, montrée sur les figures 1 et 2 et en trait plein sur la figure 4, dans laquelle les secondes faces latérales 3a, 3b sont mutuellement en vis-à-vis. L'arête 4a sert également d'axe d'articulation pour une poignée 9 qui est escamotée entre les faces 2a et 2b dans la première position, et qui fait saillie, dans la seconde position, par rapport au plan défini par ces mêmes faces. La première position convient pour l'entreposage et/ou l'exposition du carton, où l'usage de la poignée n'est pas requis, et la seconde position est appropriée lorsqu'on a besoin de saisir la poignée, notamment pour porter le carton. The edges 4a and 4b are practically identical and define an axis around which the parts la and 1b can rotate relative to each other by an angle of 180 ° between a first position shown in Figure 3 and in line interrupted in Figure 4, in which the first faces side 2a, 2b are opposite each other, and a second position, shown in Figures 1 and 2 and in line full in Figure 4, in which the second faces lateral 3a, 3b are mutually opposite. Ridge 4a also serves as a hinge pin for a handle 9 which is retracted between the faces 2a and 2b in the first position, and which protrudes, in the second position, by relation to the plane defined by these same faces. The first one position suitable for storage and / or display of cardboard, where the use of the handle is not required, and the second position is appropriate when you need to enter the handle, in particular for carrying the cardboard.

Dans l'exemple illustré, les parties 1a et 1b du carton contiennent chacune une bouteille 10a, 10b dont le col 11a, 11b fait saillie à travers un trou circulaire 12a, 12b ménagé au centre de la base supérieure 8a, 8b, les deux bouteilles étant identiques. Chaque bouteille 10a, 10b, ou une étiquette qu'elle porte, est partiellement visible à travers une fenêtre 13a, 13b ménagée dans les faces latérales 2a, 2b et 5a, 5b, symétriquement de part et d'autre de l'arête 14a, 14b qui relie ces deux faces. Chaque fenêtre 13a, 13b est ainsi composée de deux éléments 15a, 15b et 16a, 16b, de même forme et de mêmes dimensions, formés respectivement dans les faces 2a, 2b et 5a, 5b. Avantageusement, chaque fenêtre permet de voir un motif présent sur la bouteille ou sur son étiquette. Dans l'exemple illustré, ce motif est symbolisé, dans sa moitié gauche par un demi-cercle fermé dont la convexité est tournée vers la gauche, et dans sa moitié droite par une demi-cercle fermé dont la convexité est tournée vers la droite. Dans la première position, comme on le voit sur la figure 2, les éléments de fenêtre 15a et 15b sont situés dans un même plan et écartés l'un de l'autre, et laissent apparaítre respectivement l'élément de motif droit 18a de la bouteille 10a et l'élément de motif gauche 18b de la bouteille 10b. Dans la seconde position, comme on le voit sur la figure 3, les éléments de fenêtre 16a et 16b sont situés dans un même plan et contigus de manière à former une fenêtre commune à travers laquelle apparaissent l'élément de motif gauche 17a de la bouteille 10a et l'élément de motif droit 18b de la bouteille 10b. Les bouteilles apparaissent ainsi sous un aspect différent dans les deux positions.In the example illustrated, parts 1a and 1b of the carton each contain a bottle 10a, 10b including the neck 11a, 11b projects through a circular hole 12a, 12b formed in the center of the upper base 8a, 8b, the two bottles being identical. Each bottle 10a, 10b, or a label that she is wearing, is partially visible through a window 13a, 13b formed in the lateral faces 2a, 2b and 5a, 5b, symmetrically on either side of the edge 14a, 14b which connects these two faces. Each window 13a, 13b is thus composed of two elements 15a, 15b and 16a, 16b, of the same shape and of the same dimensions, formed respectively in the faces 2a, 2b and 5a, 5b. Advantageously, each window makes it possible to see a pattern on the bottle or on its label. In the example illustrated, this motif is symbolized, in its left half by a closed semicircle whose convexity is turned to the left, and in its right half by a closed semicircle whose convexity is turned towards the right. In the first position, as seen on the Figure 2, the window elements 15a and 15b are located in the same plane and separated from each other, and reveal respectively the right motif element 18a of the bottle 10a and the left motif element 18b of the bottle 10b. In the second position, as seen on the Figure 3, the window elements 16a and 16b are located in the same plane and contiguous so as to form a window common through which the pattern element appears left 17a of bottle 10a and the right motif element 18b of the bottle 10b. The bottles appear thus in a different aspect in the two positions.

Les deux parties prismatiques 1a, 1b et la poignée 9 peuvent être réalisées à partir d'un flan unique représenté sur la figure 5, découpé et muni de lignes de pliage délimitant différents volets. Pour simplifier, les volets sont désignés par les mêmes références que les faces des parties prismatiques qu'ils servent à obtenir. Les volets 5a, 2a, 2b, 5b, 6b, 3b, 3a et 6a sont mutuellement alignés, dans cet ordre, selon la longueur du flan. Les volets 2a et 2b, ainsi que les volets 3b et 3a, sont reliés entre eux par des lignes de pliage doubles, tandis que les lignes de pliage entre les autres volets sont simples. Les volets 7b et 8b sont disposés de part et d'autre du volet 3b dans la largeur du flan, tandis que les volets 7a et 8a sont disposés de part et d'autre du volet 3a. Une ouverture destinée à former la fenêtre 13a est ménagée dans les volets 5a et 2a, et une ouverture destinée à former la fenêtre 13b est ménagée dans les volets 2b et 5b. La poignée 9 est découpée dans le volet 3a. À cet effet, une ligne de découpe 20 représentant le contour extérieur de la poignée va d'un point 21 à un point 22 de la ligne de pliage double 23 reliant les volets 3b et 3a, et une ligne de découpe 24 définissant le contour intérieur de la poignée s'étend entre deux points 25 et 26 de la ligne 23, compris entre les points 21 et 22. La portion 27 du volet 3a délimitée par les lignes 23 et 24 peut être éliminée si on le souhaite. Une fente 28 est ménagée le long de la ligne de pliage double 29 reliant les volets 2a et 2b, sur une longueur correspondant à celle de la poignée 9, c'est-à-dire à la distance entre les points 21 et 22.The two prismatic parts 1a, 1b and the handle 9 can be made from a single blank shown on the figure 5, cut out and provided with folding lines delimiting different components. To simplify, the flaps are designated by the same references as the faces of the prismatic parts they used to get. Flaps 5a, 2a, 2b, 5b, 6b, 3b, 3a and 6a are mutually aligned, in this order, according to the length of the blank. Sections 2a and 2b, as well as flaps 3b and 3a, are interconnected by lines of double folds, while the fold lines between the other strands are simple. The flaps 7b and 8b are arranged on either side of the shutter 3b in the width of the blank, while the flaps 7a and 8a are arranged on the side and on the other side of shutter 3a. An opening to form the window 13a is provided in shutters 5a and 2a, and a opening intended to form the window 13b is made in flaps 2b and 5b. The handle 9 is cut in the shutter 3a. For this purpose, a cutting line 20 representing the outer contour of the handle goes from point 21 to point 22 of the double folding line 23 connecting the flaps 3b and 3a, and a cutting line 24 defining the outline inside of the handle extends between two points 25 and 26 of line 23, between points 21 and 22. Portion 27 of shutter 3a delimited by lines 23 and 24 can be eliminated if desired. A slot 28 is formed along of the double folding line 29 connecting the flaps 2a and 2b, over a length corresponding to that of the handle 9, i.e. at the distance between points 21 and 22.

L'alignement des volets formant les faces latérales des parties prismatiques du carton est terminé à une extrémité par un rabat 30 relié par une ligne de pliage 31 au volet 5a, et à l'autre extrémité par un bord libre 32 adjacent au volet 6a. Pour le montage du carton, la ligne 31 est amenée en coïncidence avec le bord 32, le rabat 30 étant collé sur le volet 6a, de telle sorte que les volets constitutifs des faces latérales forment un anneau fermé. La poignée 9 est ensuite pliée hors du plan du volet 3a et engagée à travers la fente 28, le cas échéant avec la portion 27, jusqu'à ce que les lignes de pliage doubles 23 et 29 viennent sensiblement en coïncidence pour former l'arête commune 4a, 4b.The alignment of the flaps forming the lateral faces of the prismatic parts of the carton is finished at one end by a flap 30 connected by a fold line 31 to the flap 5a, and at the other end by a free edge 32 adjacent to the flap 6a. For mounting the carton, line 31 is brought in coincidence with the edge 32, the flap 30 being glued to the part 6a, so that the component parts of the side faces form a closed ring. The handle 9 is then folded out of the plane of shutter 3a and engaged through slot 28, if applicable with portion 27, until that the double fold lines 23 and 29 come substantially coincidentally to form the common edge 4a, 4b.

Pour la fermeture des extrémités des parties prismatiques sont prévus huit rabats 32 disposés de part et d'autre des volets 2a, 2b, 6b et 6a dans la largeur du flan, et quatre rabats adjacents aux volets 7b, 7a, 8b et 8a à l'opposé des volets 3b et 3a. Pour mettre en place les bases inférieures 7a et 7b, on replie vers l'intérieur les volets correspondants et les rabats 32 situés du même côté du flan que ceux-ci, en repliant dans le même sens les rabats 33 par rapport à ces volets. Les volets 7b et 7a viennent en appui sur les rabats 32, tandis que les rabats 33 pénètrent le long des faces internes des volets 5b et 5a. Ces derniers présentent des pattes de verrouillage 34 qui font saillie du côté du flan où sont situés les volets 7b et 7a, et les extrémités des pattes sont repliées et engagées dans des fentes formées lors du pliage des rabats 33 grâce à la forme des lignes de pliage prédécoupées 35 reliant ceux-ci aux volets 7b et 7a.For closing the ends of prismatic parts eight flaps 32 are provided arranged on either side of the flaps 2a, 2b, 6b and 6a across the width of the blank, and four flaps adjacent to flaps 7b, 7a, 8b and 8a opposite the parts 3b and 3a. To set up the lower bases 7a and 7b, the corresponding flaps are folded inwards and the flaps 32 located on the same side of the blank as these, by folding the flaps 33 relative to the same direction to these shutters. The flaps 7b and 7a bear on the flaps 32, while flaps 33 penetrate along the internal faces of the flaps 5b and 5a. These present locking tabs 34 which project from the side of the blank where the flaps 7b and 7a are located, and the ends legs are folded and engaged in formed slits when folding the flaps 33 thanks to the shape of the lines of pre-cut folding 35 connecting these to the flaps 7b and 7a.

La mise en place des bases supérieures 8b et 8a s'effectue de la même manière que celle des bases inférieures, à ceci près qu'il n'est pas prévu de pattes de verrouillage, la présence des cols 11a, 11b des bouteilles empêchant le relèvement des volets 8b et 8a. Cette mise en place doit donc être effectuée avant l'introduction des bouteilles, et celle des bases inférieures ensuite.The establishment of the upper bases 8b and 8a is carried out from the same way as the lower bases, except that no locking tabs are provided, the presence necks 11a, 11b of the bottles preventing the raising of the flaps 8b and 8a. This installation must therefore be carried out before the introduction of the bottles, and that of the bases then lower.
