  • 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: 8777097
    Abstract: The invention relates to a set (22) of blanks for forming a packaging box, a method and a corresponding box. The set includes two corrugated board blanks, namely: a first blank (2?) including flaps connected to one another by first fold lines (9?), one side of said blank having no folds; and a second blank (12?) including panels (13?, 14?, 15?, 16?) connected to one another by third fold lines (19?), the panels of the second blank being stacked respectively on the part of the first blank having no folds. Two non-adjacent flaps (3?, 5?) of the first blank are glued to two respective facing panels (13?, 15?) of the second blank, thereby preventing the relative movement thereof during folding or during the formation of the box when the blanks are wound around a volume having pre-determined dimensions.

  • 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: 8590772
    Abstract: This is a packing case (40), a set of cutouts and a method of obtaining a case comprising a bottom that forms a half-case (41) obtained from a first cutout and a lid formed from a second cutout, the underside of the bottom being equipped with recesses (19, 85, 108, 109, 110, 111) and the lid comprising at least two tabs (33, 43, 54, 55, 56, 57, 73, 74, 75, 88) bonded onto its top face, in vertical alignment with the recesses of complementary shape. The lid comprises a central panel (20, 37) equipped on its sides with four lateral panels (21, 22, 23, 24, 77, 79, 81) of which two (21, 23) are equipped with end flaps (27, 28, 29, 30) said tabs each being connected to one of said end flaps.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 8409064
    Abstract: This is a method and device for making a packaging box from two blanks (2, 3), wherein blanks are taken simultaneously from two adjacent stacks (25, 26) and placed on two parallel tracks (29, 30), the blanks are transferred flat until butted longitudinally to an assembly station, the first blank is glued on its way to the longitudinal abutment position, the first and second blanks are butted laterally into their respective positions to give them an exact lateral reference position, they are grasped, and transferred laterally, and the second blank is placed on the first blank which is thus indexed, escaping the drivers (61) of the first track (29) when the second blank is placed against the fast blank, but clamped by vertical pressure. The second blank is then applied to the first blank to glue them together in their respective defined longitudinal positions, and the resulting set of blanks is then transferred to an erecting station where the box is erected by rolling the blanks around a core.

  • Patent number: 8359129
    Abstract: A method and device control the thrust of a multi-engine aircraft. At least one engine command is determined by a command determining unit, with the determined command commanding each engine that has not failed to deliver a thrust substantially equal to a reduced thrust value. A command application unit is configured to apply the determined command to each aircraft engine that has not failed. The reduced thrust value is determined, by a weight determining device, according to the current weight of the aircraft and according to a reduced thrust value FOEI, which is calculated by a thrust calculation unit.

  • Patent number: 8014910
    Abstract: A reference value is arbitrarily selected from a range of possible aircraft rotation speeds. A position of a trimmable horizontal stabilizer is angled in accordance with a centering of the reference value. A deviation between the reference value and an accelerating speed value of the aircraft is determined. Elevators or the horizontal stabilizer are controlled, prior to rotation, in accordance with the determined deviation.
