Abstract

The top of the crate is made from a sheet cut out of synthetic material. It has a central part with holes (4) and two longitudinal flaps (5). Each flap is applied against the longitudinal ends of the crate side. The flaps are extended beyond the length of the cage sides by two bands (6). The band ends are welded (7) to the ends of the band extending from the other flap in order to form a side bracing. The bracing has a perimeter length less than the crate perimeter. There are two transverse flaps (8), which partially cover the transverse part of the bracing, whose ends are notched to facilitate folding. When the top is placed on the crate (10) one of the transverse parts of the bracing is fastened so as to exert a pull on it and the other transverse part is pushed to elastically fasten it on the other cage side.

Description

L'invention concerne le domaine des dessus de cagette pour fruits et légumes. The invention relates to the field of crate tops for fruits and vegetables.

Traditionnellement les fruits et légumes sont conditionnés en cagettes en bois déroulé, en matière synthétique ou autre, et sont protégés par un dessus de cagette constitué par une feuille en matière synthétique, en général perforée. Cette feuille est munie de rabats longitudinaux qui sont fixés par agrafage sur le côté de la cagette, en même temps qu'est mise en place une ceinture en carton portant des indications identifiant le contenu et son origine. La mise en place de chaque dessus de cagette et de la ceinture cartonnée nécessite plusieurs manipulations qui, exigeant de la main d'oeuvre et du temps, ajoutent un surcoût au conditionnement. Traditionally, fruits and vegetables are packaged in unrolled wooden crates, in synthetic or other material, and are protected by a crate top consisting of a plastic sheet, generally perforated. This sheet is provided with longitudinal flaps which are fixed by stapling on the side of the crate, at the same time as a cardboard belt is put in place with indications identifying the content and its origin. The installation of each crate top and the cardboard belt requires several manipulations which, requiring labor and time, add an additional cost to the packaging.

Un autre inconvénient de ce type de conditionnement découle de la mauvaise tenue de la ceinture cartonnée aux opérations de rafraîchissement du contenu, par arrosage, aspersion ou pulvérisation d'eau. En particulier, lorsque les conditions climatiques ou la durée d'attente avant la vente exigent des rafraîchissements répétés, l'humidification du carton de la ceinture tend à déformer celle-ci et a lui donner un aspect peu attrayant, affectant la présentation générale et pouvant affecter l'image de fraîcheur du contenu de la cagette. Another drawback of this type of packaging stems from the poor resistance of the cardboard belt to the operations of refreshing the content, by watering, spraying or spraying water. In particular, when the climatic conditions or the waiting time before the sale require repeated refreshments, the humidification of the cardboard of the belt tends to distort it and to give it an unattractive appearance, affecting the general presentation and possibly affect the image of freshness of the contents of the crate.

La présente invention a pour objet de remédier à ces inconvénients en fournissant un dessus de cagette supprimant le recours à une ceinture cartonnée, se mettant en place rapidement sans moyen de fixation et résistant à l'humidité. The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks by providing a crate top which eliminates the need for a cardboard belt, which is quickly put in place without fixing means and is resistant to humidity.

A cet effet, dans le dessus de cagette selon l'invention, chacun des rabats longitudinaux est prolongé, au-delà des extrémités du côté longitudinal de la cagette contre lequel il doit être appliqué, par deux bandes dont les extrémités sont liées par soudure aux extrémités des bandes de l'autre rabat pour former une ceinture, ladite ceinture ayant une longueur périmétrique inférieure à la longueur périmétrique de la cagette. To this end, in the crate top according to the invention, each of the longitudinal flaps is extended, beyond the ends of the longitudinal side of the crate against which it is to be applied, by two bands, the ends of which are connected by welding to ends of the bands of the other flap to form a belt, said belt having a perimeter length less than the perimeter length of the crate.

Ce dessus de cagette est donc solidaire d'une ceinture composée par ses deux rabats longitudinaux et par des parties transversales formées par réunion des bandes prolongeant les deux rabats longitudinaux. La mise en place de cette ceinture sur la périphérie d'une cagette s'effectue très aisément et très rapidement par une seule personne, sans aucun outillage, puisque la liaison avec la cagette est assurée par le serrage élastique de la ceinture sur la périphérie de la cagette. This crate top is therefore integral with a belt composed by its two longitudinal flaps and by transverse parts formed by joining bands extending the two longitudinal flaps. The positioning of this belt on the periphery of a crate is carried out very easily and very quickly by a single person, without any tool, since the connection with the crate is ensured by the elastic tightening of the belt on the periphery of the crate.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages ressortiront de la description qui suit en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exécution de ce dessus de cagette. Other characteristics and advantages will emerge from the description which follows with reference to the appended diagrammatic drawing representing, by way of nonlimiting example, an embodiment of this crate top.

Figure 1 est une vue en plan par dessus d'un dessus d'une cagette telle qu'elle est livrée, c'est à dire pliée à plat. Figure 1 is a plan view from above of a top of a crate as delivered, ie folded flat.

Figure 2 est une vue en perspective montrant le dessus de cagette lorsqu'il est mis en place.  Figure 2 is a perspective view showing the crate top when it is in place.

A la figure 1 la référence numérique 2 désigne le dessus de cagette proprement dit. Pour son stockage à plat, ce dessus de cagette est plié en deux, sensiblement suivant son plan médian longitudinal. De façon connue, il comporte des perforations 4 mettant en communication le contenu de la cagette avec l'extérieur et permettant le rafraîchissement du contenu par pulvérisation ou arrosage. In Figure 1 the reference numeral 2 denotes the top of the cage itself. For its flat storage, this crate top is folded in half, substantially along its longitudinal median plane. In known manner, it comprises perforations 4 putting the contents of the crate into communication with the outside and allowing the contents to be refreshed by spraying or watering.

Le dessus de cagette 2 est muni de rabats longitudinaux 5 destinés à venir contre les flancs longitudinaux de la cagette. The crate top 2 is provided with longitudinal flaps 5 intended to come against the longitudinal sides of the crate.

Selon l'invention, ces rabats sont prolongés, au-delà de la longueur L à la figure 1 des flancs longitudinaux de la cagette, par des bandes 6. L'extrémité de chaque bande est liée par soudure 7 à l'extrémité de la bande voisine prolongeant l'autre rabat. According to the invention, these flaps are extended, beyond the length L in FIG. 1 of the longitudinal sides of the crate, by strips 6. The end of each strip is linked by welding 7 to the end of the neighboring band extending the other flap.

Le dessus de cagette est également muni de rabats transversaux 8 dont les extrémités sont échancrées en 9 pour faciliter leur pliage. The crate top is also provided with transverse flaps 8, the ends of which are notched at 9 to facilitate their folding.

Lorsqu'un tel dessus de cagette est mis en place sur une cagette 10, l'opérateur accroche d'abord l'une des parties transversales de la ceinture formée par l'assemblage de deux bandes 6 contre l'un des flancs transversaux de la cagette, puis, exerce une traction sur la ceinture, de manière que l'autre partie transversale de la ceinture puisse venir s'accrocher élastiquement sur l'autre flanc transversal de la cagette. A la fin de cette opération, qui s'effectue sans aucun outillage, le dessus de cagette est parfaitement lié au cageot par serrage élastique de sa ceinture sur la périphérie de ce cageot. When such a crate top is placed on a crate 10, the operator first hooks one of the transverse parts of the belt formed by the assembly of two strips 6 against one of the transverse flanks of the crate, then exerts a traction on the belt, so that the other transverse part of the belt can come to snap elastically on the other transverse flank of the crate. At the end of this operation, which is carried out without any tools, the crate top is perfectly linked to the crate by elastic tightening of its belt on the periphery of this crate.

La figure 2 montre que les rabats transversaux 8 s'étendent au-dessus des parties transversales de la ceinture pour en assurer la protection. Figure 2 shows that the transverse flaps 8 extend above the transverse parts of the belt to provide protection.

Dans la forme d'exécution représentée, la ceinture formée par les rabats longitudinaux 5 et les bandes 6 a une hauteur égale à la cagette, mais il est évident qu'elle peut avoir une hauteur inférieure, pourvu qu'elle forme une bande suffisamment haute pour permettre de marquer les indications qui, jusqu'à présent, étaient portées sur une bande cartonnée. In the embodiment shown, the belt formed by the longitudinal flaps 5 and the strips 6 has a height equal to the crate, but it is obvious that it can have a lower height, provided that it forms a sufficiently high strip to mark the indications which, until now, were carried on a cardboard strip.

Il ressort de ce qui précède que le dessus de cagette, selon l'invention, réduit le coût de conditionnement, tant au niveau du matériel mis en oeuvre que du temps de manoeuvre, et améliore l'aspect esthétique du cageot, tout en restant insensible à l'action de l'humidité consécutive aux opérations de rafraîchissement du contenu du cageot.  It appears from the above that the crate top, according to the invention, reduces the cost of packaging, both in terms of the material used and the maneuvering time, and improves the aesthetic appearance of the crate, while remaining insensitive the action of humidity following the cooling operations of the contents of the crate.
