  • Patent number: 9718580
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a tray made of corrugated cardboard sheet material, and to blanks for preparing such a tray having a polygonal cross-section. Said blank comprises sidewalls, raised edges or portions of raised edges on two opposite sides of an upper portion, and a lower wall forming the bottom (36) of the case. Each raised edge or portion of raised edge includes at least one rounded portion (34), and the bottom includes perforated surface portions (35) which have a shape complementary to that of the rounded portions, which are arranged opposite the latter, and are arranged so as to fit into the rounded portions of the tray from below.

  • Patent number: 9662851
    Abstract: A method for the production of a packing case from a one-piece blank, comprising a band of at least four main panels connected together by parallel fold lines, and furnished with two series of flaps situated on either side, for respectively forming at least partly the bottom and the top of the case. The band comprises a precut transverse line over the main panels to divide the blank into a first and a second half-blank. The half-blanks are separated, the first is placed in a transfer channel, the second is held in a plane higher than that of the transfer channel, the first is transferred to a mandrel while applying adhesive, and the first is wrapped around the mandrel. The transfer channel allows the second to be lowered to the channel, transferred to the mandrel, and wrapped around the first half-blank before folding the flaps.

  • Patent number: 9187204
    Abstract: The invention concerns a generally parallelepiped corrugated box for packaging and transporting objects, the box comprising a lid formed by a lateral can-band carton including a front wall, a rear wall, and side walls and a top, and a tray forming a base including a central panel comprising four main sides each respectively provided with a first flap. The front and rear flaps are U-shaped and define each with the top a central recess enabling an object in the box to be gripped manually by a user from the side and/or from above. One or several partly precut portions and/or one or several bonding points enable the walls of the lid to be detached from the first flaps of the tray by manual separation resulting from a force applied perpendicularly to the walls.

  • Patent number: 8590773
    Abstract: The invention relates to a set of blanks for making a packaging box (1), to such a box and to a method for making such a box. The set includes a first blank comprising at least four main flaps connected together by first folding lines for forming the walls of the base (3) of the box, and a second blank including three panels connected together by third folding lines and including flips connected to the panels by a fourth folding line for forming the lid (2) of said box. A tearable flap (30) is connected to a flap by a perforated junction line (31), two flaps and two non-adjacent trapezoidal panels for forming the side walls and the base of the lid, wherein the two blanks are arranged so as to enable a sufficient covering in order to glue the same onto each other at the opposite inner and outer edges of the flaps and trapezoidal panels when the perforated folding line and the fourth folding lines are aligned or substantially aligned.

  • Patent number: 8430296
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a one-piece blank (14) made of corrugated cardboard for the production of a display case (1), the case, the method and the machine for producing said case. The blank comprises a band (2) of panels (15, 16, 17, 18) connected together in pairs by parallel fold lines (24, 25, 26, 27). The band (2) comprises a precut transverse line (20) making it possible to divide the blank into two half-blanks (21, 22), said transverse line determining on either side and for each parallel fold line (24, 25, 26, 27) two separate portions of fold line (24?, 24?; 25?, 25?; 26?, 26?; 27?, 27?) offset relative to one another in order to make it possible to at least partly compensate for the thicknesses of cardboard when the second half-blank is wrapped over the first half-blank around a mandrel.
