- the folded boxes coming out of the calibration module 60 are ready to be conditioned, for example, they can be transferred to a receiving station where they will be recovered to be stored in piles on a pallet or rows in a container.
- FIG 2 there is shown an alternative embodiment of the folder-gluer for the implementation of the method according to the invention.

- the longitudinal axis of the ruler 42 forms with the longitudinal axis of the folder-gluer a non-zero angle ⁇ , so that the laying 1 which leaves the main alignment module 40 is shifted by an angle ⁇ relative to the direction of advance of the pose.
- the flank 1 d In principle, to avoid completely the fishtailing, the flank 1 d must be folded at 180 ° around the longitudinal groove 2c by a folding force which is exerted simultaneously at least in two points; a first point near the front edge 4 of the pose and a second point near the rear edges 3 of the pose. If the folding force is exerted in only one point, it is still possible to avoid the fishtailing by placing this point somewhere on the median axis of the flank 1d. On the other hand, if the single point of contact is placed elsewhere than on the median axis of the flank 1d, the fishtailing problem is difficult to avoid.
- the median axis of the sidewall 1d is defined here as being the axis parallel to the front or rear edge of the laying and located equidistant from said front and rear edges.
- the sidewall 1d is driven by its front edge 4 in a folding propeller 32.
- the propeller 32 exerts on the flank 1 of a folding force which is applied on the front edge 4.
- This folding force tends to angularly shift the axis of folding (or axis of rotation) of the blank with respect to the axis of the longitudinal groove 2c , in the plane of the folder-gluer.
- Such a shift is a generator of fishtailing.
- the laying arrives at the entrance of the first folding module 30 is offset by an angle ⁇ relative to the direction of advance of the pose, l angle ⁇ is chosen to correspond to the offset of the folding axis.

- the problem with the folding of the sidewall 1 d is also posed with the folding of the sidewall 1a.
- the flank 1a is driven by its front edge 4 in a folding propeller 52.
- the propeller 52 exerts on the flank 1 a folding force which is applied on the front edge 4.
- This folding force has a tendency to angularly offset the axis of folding (or axis of rotation) of the blank with respect to the axis of the groove longitudinal 2a, in the plane of the folder-gluer. This offset is fishtailing generator.
- the laying arriving at the entrance of the second folding module 50 is shifted by an angle ⁇ relative to the direction of advance of the laying, l angle ⁇ is chosen to correspond to the offset of the folding axis.
- l angle ⁇ is chosen to correspond to the offset of the folding axis.
- the gap at the front of the folded box is equal to the gap at the back of the box, in other words, the box folded to the shape of a rectangle, the problem of fishtailing has been solved.
- the offset of the folding axis it depends on many different parameters, for example, the size of the flanks to bend, the material of the laying, its thickness, the depth and the length of the grooves around which the flanks are bent, the length of the propellers. Because of this, it is very difficult to predict the offset before folding a pose. Consequently, the angles ⁇ and ⁇ are chosen as a function of the offsets noted. For example, if it is noted for a given pose that the offset of the folding axis in the first and second folding module is + 2 ° and -2 respectively, the angles ⁇ and ⁇ are chosen equal to + 2 ° and -2 ° respectively.
- the upper parts of the conveyors 11, 21, 31, 41, 51 and 61 have not been shown, only the lower parts are visible.
- the conveyors may be of the belt or roller type.
- the conveyors 11 and 21 can be grouped together in the same conveyor, as are the conveyors 51 and 61.
- the second folding module 50 and the calibration module 60 can be grouped together in a single module.
- the sidewall 1 d is folded down on the sidewall 1c.
- the left edge 5 of the pose does not extend over the entire length of the pose.
- the edge 5 has a recess 5 'between the transverse grooves 2f and 2g and the respective front and rear edges of the pose. In the example, the edge 5 'is parallel to the edge 5.
- the right edge 6 of the pose does not extend over the entire length of the pose.
- the edge 6 has a recess 6 'between the transverse grooves 2f and 2g and the respective front and rear edges of the pose. In the example, the edge 6 'is parallel to the edge 6.
- the figure 4 it shows a folded box, that is to say a pose at the exit of the second folding module 50 (the grooves have not been shown).
- the flank 1a is folded on the side 1b, on the one hand, and glued to the glue lug 1e, on the other hand, so that the folded box is sealed.
- the gap Gf is the distance between the left edge 5 'of the right edge 6', the transverse side 4 ', while the gap Gr is the distance between the left edge 5' of the right edge 6 ', the transverse side 3 '.
- FIG. 5a shows a pose of the state of the art seen in section along the axis AA of the figure 3
- the figure 5b shows a box of the state of the art seen in section the axis BB of the figure 4
- the figure 5c shows a reference box in a view similar to that of the figure 5b .
- the gap resulting from the two successive bends is equal to Gref + 2 x e1 + 2 x e2, where Gref is the gap of a folded reference box and 2 x e1 + 2 x e2 is the gap gap ⁇ (see figure 5c ).
- FIG. 6a to 6c the folding of a box according to the invention is shown.
- the Figures 6a and 6b show a pose seen in section along the axis AA of the figure 3
- the Figure 6c is a sectional view along the BB axis of the box of the figure 4
- the figure 6d shows a reference box in a view similar to that of the Figure 6c .
- the right edge 6 ' is shifted 2 x 1 mm to the right by relative to its reference position (see figure 6a ). Then align the laying along the 2'ca fold to shift the pose 1 mm to the left and thus shift 1 mm to the left the right edge 6 'and the left edge 5' (see figure 6b ).
- the bending at 180 ° of the flank 1 aa has the effect of reversing the offset resulting from the alignment of the laying along the fold 2'c (see Figure 6c ).
- the left edge 5 ' is then shifted by -1 + 2 x 1 or 1 mm to the left from its reference position.
- the error e1 of position of the axis of rotation of the sidewall 1d is compensated before the folding of the sidewall 1a, so that the gap resulting from the two successive bends is independent of the error e1 . More generally, if at the end of the folding of the sidewall 1a in the second folding module 50 an error e2 appears (see Figure 6c ), the gap resulting from the two successive folds is limited to Gref + 2 x e2, where Gref is the gap of a folded reference box and 2 x e2 is the gap gap ⁇ (see figure 6d ).
- the gap deviation ⁇ has been minimized by passing from the value 2 x e1 + 2 x e2 in the state of the art to the value 2 x e2 according to the invention.
Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un procédé de pliage d'une découpe de papier, de carton, de plastique, de carton ondulé ou de matière similaire destinée à former une boîte pliée.The present invention relates to a method of folding a blank of paper, cardboard, plastic, corrugated cardboard or similar material to form a folded box.
L'invention concerne également une machine pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé selon l'invention.The invention also relates to a machine for carrying out the method according to the invention.
Pour réaliser une boîte pliée d'un matériau donné, il est connu de façonner une pose (ou découpe) dudit matériau, dans une machine dite "plieuse-colleuse". Par exemple, pour réaliser une boîte parallélépipédique, c'est-à-dire une boîte à base rectangulaire, la pose utilisée a la forme générale d'un rectangle avec deux côtés latéraux et deux côtés transversaux.To make a folded box of a given material, it is known to fashion a laying (or cutting) of said material, in a machine called "folder-gluer". For example, to make a parallelepiped box, that is to say a box with a rectangular base, the laying used has the general shape of a rectangle with two lateral sides and two transverse sides.
Par rapport à la direction d'avance des poses, le bord avant de la pose est le côté transversal de la pose qui entre en premier dans la machine, et le bord arrière celui qui entre en dernier. De même, le bord gauche de la pose est le côté latéral de la pose situé à gauche de l'axe longitudinal de la plieuse-colleuse et le bord droit est le côté latéral de la pose situé à droite de l'axe longitudinal de la plieuse-colleuse. Dans une boîte à base rectangulaire (autrement appelée boîte classique), pour pouvoir être pliée aux bons endroits, la pose comprend de gauche à droite, quatre rainures longitudinales (ou refoulages) qui divisent la pose en cinq parties : quatre flancs adjacents et une patte de collage. Dans l'exemple d'une boîte à base biconvexe ou d'une pochette, la pose comprend deux rainures longitudinales qui divisent la pose en trois parties : deux flancs adjacents et une patte de collage.In relation to the direction of advance of the poses, the front edge of the pose is the transverse side of the pose which enters first in the machine, and the back edge the one which enters last. Similarly, the left edge of the pose is the lateral side of the pose located to the left of the longitudinal axis of the folder-gluer and the right edge is the lateral side of the pose located to the right of the longitudinal axis of the folder-gluer. In a box with rectangular base (otherwise called conventional box), to be folded in the right places, the pose comprises from left to right, four longitudinal grooves (or ups and downs) which divide the pose into five parts: four adjacent flanks and one leg lift-off. In the example of a biconvex box or pouch, the installation comprises two longitudinal grooves that divide the pose into three parts: two adjacent flanks and a glue tab.
Pour faire une boîte pliée, les flancs situés aux extrémités droite et gauche de la pose sont rabattus à 180° vers l'intérieur de la pose. Dans cette dernière position, la distance qui sépare les bords droit et gauche de la pose s'appelle le gap. On distinguera au besoin le gap à l'avant de la boîte pliée et le gap à l'arrière de la boîte pliée.To make a box folded, the flanks at the right and left ends of the pose are folded 180 ° to the inside of the pose. In this last position, the distance between the right and left edges of the pose is called the gap. If necessary, the gap at the front of the folded box and the gap at the back of the folded box can be distinguished.
Pour faire une bonne boîte pliée, il faut que le gap de la boîte pliée soit égal à un gap de référence Gref, fixé par cahier des charges. Or, dans la pratique, on observe qu'il est très difficile d'assurer cette égalité pour toutes les boîtes d'une production, aussi, tolère-t-on que le gap d'une boîte pliée puisse être égal à Gref+Δ, à condition que Δ soit le plus petit possible. Δ représente l'écart de gap par rapport au gap de référence, il peut être positif ou négatif.To make a good folded box, it is necessary that the gap of the folded box is equal to a reference gap Gref, fixed by specifications. In the practice, it is observed that it is very difficult to ensure this equality for all the boxes of a production, also, it is tolerated that the gap of a folded box can be equal to Gref + Δ, provided that Δ is the smallest possible. Δ represents the gap deviation with respect to the reference gap, it can be positive or negative.
Une bonne boîte pliée c'est aussi une boîte où le gap à l'avant est égal au gap à l'arrière car sinon la boîte pliée à la forme d'un trapèze. Ce problème est connu sous le nom de "fishtailing".A good folded box is also a box where the gap at the front is equal to the gap at the back because otherwise the box folded to the shape of a trapeze. This problem is known as "fishtailing".
Un premier procédé de pliage connu consiste à rabattre simultanément à 180° les flancs d'extrémité. Ce procédé de pliage ne permet pas de minimiser l'écart de gap Δ, ni d'empêcher le fishtailing.A first known folding method is to fold simultaneously at 180 ° the end flanks. This folding method does not make it possible to minimize the difference in gap Δ or to prevent fishtailing.
Un autre procédé connu (voir
Dans l'état de la technique précité, il est également connu d'aligner le bord gauche ou droit de la pose le long d'un axe parallèle à l'axe longitudinal de la plieuse-colleuse avant de rabattre les flancs d'extrémité.In the state of the art mentioned above, it is also known to align the left or right edge of the laying along an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the folder-gluer before folding the end flanks.
Un premier but de la présente invention est de minimiser l'écart de gap Δ. A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet un procédé de pliage selon la revendication 1.A first object of the present invention is to minimize the gap gap Δ. For this purpose, the subject of the present invention is a folding method according to
Un autre but de l'invention est de supprimer ou, à tout le moins, de réduire le fishtailing. D'autres objets et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront plus clairement au cours de la description de modes de réalisation, description qui va être faite en se référant aux dessins annexés.Another object of the invention is to suppress or, at the very least, to reduce fishtailing. Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear more clearly in the description of embodiments, which description will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Enfin, on définit la longueur de la pose comme étant la distance séparant le bord avant du bord arrière de la pose.Each pose that is presented at the entrance E of the folder-gluer has the general shape of a rectangle with two
Pour pouvoir être pliée aux endroits choisis, la pose 1 comprend, de gauche à droite, quatre rainures longitudinales (ou refoulages) respectivement 2a, 2b, 2c et 2d, parallèles au bord gauche 5 et qui délimitent quatre flancs adjacents respectivement 1 a, 1 b, 1 c et 1 d. Pour permettre la formation ultérieure du fond et du couvercle de la boîte, des rainures transversales 2f et 2g, parallèles aux bords avant et respectivement arrière de la pose, sont prévues à distance desdits bords. De même, des fentes son prévues dans le prolongement des rainures 2a, 2b et 2c entre lesdites rainures transversales 2f et 2g et lesdits bords avant et respectivement arrière de la pose.To be able to be folded in the chosen places, the
Chaque flanc a la forme générale d'un rectangle avec deux côtés transversaux qui coïncident avec les bords arrière 3 et avant 4 de la pose. Les côtés latéraux du premier flanc 1a coïncident avec le bord gauche 5 de la pose et la rainure longitudinale 2a. Les côtés latéraux du deuxième flanc 1 b coïncident avec les rainures longitudinales 2a et 2b. Les côtés latéraux du troisième flanc 1c coïncident avec les rainures longitudinales 2b et 2c. Tandis que les côtés latéraux du quatrième flanc 1d coïncident avec les rainures longitudinales 2c et 2d. La rainure 2d sépare le quatrième flanc 1d d'une patte de collage 1e délimitée par ladite rainure 2d et le bord droit 6. En variante, la patte de collage 1 e peut être adjacente au premier flanc 1 a.Each flank has the general shape of a rectangle with two transverse sides which coincide with the
Dans le premier mode de réalisation de la machine illustré à la
Ensuite, un transporteur 51 entraîne ladite pose dans un deuxième module de pliage 50. Dans le module de pliage 50, le flanc 1 a est rabattu sur le flanc 1 b au moyen d'une hélice de pliage 52, autrement dit le flanc 1a est plié à 180° autour de la rainure 2a. A l'issu de cette deuxième opération de pliage, un deuxième pli longitudinal 2'a apparaît à l'endroit de la rainure 2a. En amont de la deuxième opération de pliage, la patte de collage 1e est encollée de sorte qu'à l'issu de l'opération de pliage, le flanc 1a est collé à la patte de collage 1e, les flancs 1a et 1d sont alors adjacents. La boîte pliée 1' ainsi formée présente idéalement la forme d'un rectangle avec deux côtés latéraux coïncidant avec les plis 2'a et 2'c, et deux côtés transversaux 3' et 4' correspondant respectivement aux bords arrière 3 et avant 4 de la pose. Dans l'exemple, l'hélice de pliage respective 32, 52 est réalisée dans un matériau synthétique sous la forme d'une baguette décrivant une courbe dont la torsion est proportionnelle à la courbure, l'axe de l'hélice coïncidant avec l'axe de pliage.Then, a
Dans certains cas, la pose 1 qui sort de la station de marge 10 n'est pas correctement positionnée pour le pliage, il est alors avantageux de faire passer la pose d'abord dans un module d'alignement auxiliaire 20 avant le premier module de pliage 30. A cet effet, la pose qui sort de la station de marge 10 est entraînée par un transporteur 21 dans le module d'alignement auxiliaire 20. Dans le module d'alignement auxiliaire 20, le bord gauche 5 de la pose 1 vient en contact linéaire avec une règle 22 (ou rail de guidage), le long de celle-ci. Dans le plan de la plieuse-colleuse, l'axe longitudinal de la règle 22 forme avec l'axe longitudinal de la plieuse-colleuse un angle nul, autrement dit, l'axe longitudinal de la règle 22 est parallèle à l'axe longitudinal de la plieuse-colleuse, de sorte que la rainure 2c est parallèle à l'axe longitudinal de la plieuse-colleuse.In some cases, the laying 1 coming out of the
Avantageusement, la boîte pliée 1' qui sort du deuxième module de pliage 50 est entraînée par un transporteur 61 dans un module de calibrage 60. Dans le module de calibrage 60, la boîte pliée 1' passe entre deux barres longitudinales 62. La distance entre les barres 62 est égale à la largeur d'une boîte pliée de référence. Ainsi, quand la boîte pliée qui entre dans le module de calibrage présente une largeur supérieure à la largeur de référence, la boîte est pressée sur ses côtés latéraux 2'a et 2'c par les barres 62. L'action des barres 62 a pour effet de mettre à la cote la largeur de la boîte pliée. Une boîte pliée de référence est une boîte qui répond au cahier des charges dimensionnel fixé. La largeur de la boîte pliée c'est la distance qui sépare le côté latéral 2'a du côté latéral 2'c. On distinguera au besoin la largeur Lf à l'avant de la boîte pliée de la largeur Lr à l'arrière de la boîte pliée (voir
Avantageusement encore, des moyens d'appui (non représentés) sont prévus dans le module de calibrage 60 pour exercer une pression verticale sur le flanc 1 a, à l'endroit où ce dernier est en contact avec la patte de collage 2d, ceci permet d'améliorer la prise de la colle. Ainsi, les boîtes pliées qui sortent du module de calibrage 60 sont prêtes à être conditionnées, par exemple, elles peuvent être transférées vers une station de réception où elles seront récupérées pour être stockées en piles sur une palette ou rangées dans un container.Advantageously, support means (not shown) are provided in the

Dans cette deuxième forme de réalisation de la plieuse-colleuse, l'axe longitudinal de la règle 22 forme avec l'axe longitudinal de la plieuse-colleuse un angle α non nul, de sorte que la pose 1 qui sort du module d'alignement auxiliaire 20 est décalée d'un angle α par rapport à la direction d'avance de la pose. De même, l'axe longitudinal de la règle 42 forme avec l'axe longitudinal de la plieuse-colleuse un angle β non nul, de sorte que la pose 1 qui sort du module d'alignement principal 40 est décalée d'un angle β par rapport à la direction d'avance de la pose. Par ces dispositions, on entend résoudre le problème de fishtailing.In this second embodiment of the folder-gluer, the longitudinal axis of the
En principe, pour éviter totalement le fishtailing, le flanc 1 d doit être plié à 180° autour de la rainure longitudinale 2c par une force de pliage qui s'exerce simultanément au moins en deux points ; un premier point près du bord avant 4 de la pose et, un deuxième point près du bords arrière 3 de la pose. Si la force de pliage ne s'exerce qu'en un seul point, il est encore possible d'éviter le fishtailing en plaçant ce point quelque part sur l'axe médian du flanc 1d. Par contre, si l'unique point de contact est placé ailleurs que sur l'axe médian du flanc 1d, le problème de fishtailing est difficile à éviter. L'axe médian du flanc 1d est défini ici comme étant l'axe parallèle au bord avant ou arrière de la pose et situé à égale distance desdits bords avant et arrière.In principle, to avoid completely the fishtailing, the flank 1 d must be folded at 180 ° around the
Quand la pose 1 arrive à l'entrée du premier module de pliage 30, le flanc 1d est entraîné par son bord avant 4 dans une hélice de pliage 32. Au cours de l'avance de la pose, l'hélice 32 exerce sur le flanc 1 d une force de pliage qui s'applique sur le bord avant 4. Cette force de pliage a tendance à décaler angulairement l'axe de pliage (ou axe de rotation) du flan par rapport à l'axe de la rainure longitudinale 2c, dans le plan de la plieuse-colleuse. Un tel décalage est générateur de fishtailing.When the laying 1 arrives at the entrance of the
Pour palier ce problème, dans la deuxième forme de réalisation de la plieuse-colleuse, la pose arrivant à l'entrée du premier module de pliage 30 est décalée d'un angle α par rapport à la direction d'avance de la pose, l'angle α est choisi pour correspondre au décalage de l'axe de pliage. Par cette disposition, l'axe de la rainure longitudinale 2c coïncide avec l'axe de pliage du flanc 1d, de sorte que le pliage à 180° du flanc 1d se fait bien autour de la rainure longitudinale 2c.To overcome this problem, in the second embodiment of the folder-gluer, the laying arrives at the entrance of the
Le problème posé avec le pliage du flanc 1 d se trouve également posé avec le pliage du flanc 1a. En effet, quand la pose 1 arrive à l'entrée du deuxième module de pliage 50, le flanc 1a est entraîné par son bord avant 4 dans une hélice de pliage 52. Au cours de l'avance de la pose, l'hélice 52 exerce sur le flanc 1 a une force de pliage qui s'applique sur le bord avant 4. Cette force de pliage a tendance à décaler angulairement l'axe de pliage (ou axe de rotation) du flan par rapport à l'axe de la rainure longitudinale 2a, dans le plan de la plieuse-colleuse. Ce décalage est générateur de fishtailing.The problem with the folding of the sidewall 1 d is also posed with the folding of the sidewall 1a. Indeed, when the laying 1 arrives at the entrance of the
Pour palier ce problème, dans la deuxième forme de réalisation de la plieuse-colleuse, la pose arrivant à l'entrée du deuxième module de pliage 50 est décalé d'un angle β par rapport à la direction d'avance de la pose, l'angle β est choisi pour correspondre au décalage de l'axe de pliage. Par cette disposition, l'axe de la rainure longitudinale 2a coïncide avec l'axe de pliage du flanc 1 a, de sorte que le pliage à 180° du flanc 1 a se fait bien autour de la rainure longitudinale 2a.To overcome this problem, in the second embodiment of the folder-gluer, the laying arriving at the entrance of the
Grâce à ces dispositions, le gap à l'avant de la boîte pliée est égal au gap à l'arrière de la boîte, autrement dit, la boîte pliée à la forme d'un rectangle, le problème de fishtailing a été résolu.Thanks to these provisions, the gap at the front of the folded box is equal to the gap at the back of the box, in other words, the box folded to the shape of a rectangle, the problem of fishtailing has been solved.
Concernant la valeur du décalage de l'axe de pliage, elle dépend de beaucoup de paramètres différents, on citera par exemple, la taille des flancs à plier, le matériau de la pose, son épaisseur, la profondeur et la longueur des rainures autour desquelles les flancs sont pliés, la longueur des hélices. De ce fait, il est très difficile de prévoir le décalage avant le pliage d'une pose. Par conséquent les angles α et β sont choisis en fonction des décalages constatés. Par exemple, si on constate pour une pose donnée que le décalage de l'axe de pliage dans le premier et le deuxième module de pliage est de +2° et -2 respectivement, les angles α et β sont choisis égal à +2° et -2° respectivement.Regarding the value of the offset of the folding axis, it depends on many different parameters, for example, the size of the flanks to bend, the material of the laying, its thickness, the depth and the length of the grooves around which the flanks are bent, the length of the propellers. Because of this, it is very difficult to predict the offset before folding a pose. Consequently, the angles α and β are chosen as a function of the offsets noted. For example, if it is noted for a given pose that the offset of the folding axis in the first and second folding module is + 2 ° and -2 respectively, the angles α and β are chosen equal to + 2 ° and -2 ° respectively.

Si lors du pliage à 180° du flanc 1 d, la position de l'axe de rotation du flanc 1d est décalée de e1 par rapport à celle de la boîte de référence, il en résulte un décalage de la position du bord droit 6' égal à 2 x e1 (voir
Aux
Si à l'issu du pliage du flanc 1d dans le premier module de pliage 30 une erreur e1 apparaît, le passage de la pose dans le module d'alignement principal 40, avant le passage dans le second module de pliage 50, permet de compenser cette erreur sur le gap résultant. En effet, du fait que dans le module d'alignement principal 40 le pli longitudinal 2'c de la pose vient en contact linéaire avec la règle 42, le long de celle-ci, un décalage e1 de la position du pli 2'c se traduit par un décalage e1 de la position du bord gauche 5' et de 2 x e1 de la position du bord droit 6'. Par exemple, si la position de l'axe de rotation du flanc 1d est décalée de 1 mm vers la droite par rapport à celle de la boîte de référence, le bord droit 6' se trouve décalé de 2 x 1 mm vers la droite par rapport à sa position de référence (voir
Dans le cas où le pliage du flanc 1a se fait sans erreur, autrement dit que la position de l'axe de rotation du flanc 1 a n'est pas décalée par rapport à celle de la boîte de référence, le pliage à 180° du flanc 1 a a pour effet d'inverser le décalage résultant de l'alignement de la pose le long du pli 2'c (voir
Grâce au procédé selon l'invention, l'erreur e1 de position de l'axe de rotation du flanc 1d est compensée avant le pliage du flanc 1 a, de sorte que le gap résultant des deux pliages successifs est indépendant de l'erreur e1. Plus généralement, si à l'issu du pliage du flanc 1a dans le second module de pliage 50 une erreur e2 apparaît (voir
II est clair que le calcul du gap se fait de la même façon à l'avant et à l'arrière de la boîte pliée.It is clear that the calculation of the gap is done in the same way at the front and the back of the folded box.
Grâce à ces dispositions, l'écart de gap Δ a été minimisé en passant de la valeur 2 x e1+ 2 x e2 dans l'état de la technique à la valeur 2 x e2 selon l'invention.Thanks to these provisions, the gap deviation Δ has been minimized by passing from the
Il est bien évident que l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de réalisation décrit et représenté ci-dessus et à partir duquel on pourra prévoir d'autre formes de réalisation, sans pour cela sortir du cadre de l'invention. Le procédé selon l'invention a été décrit en relation avec le pliage d'une découpe destinée à former une boîte classique mais il va de soi que le procédé en question peut être utilisé pour plier une découpe destinée à former n'importe quelle type boîte dès lors que ladite découpe présente au moins deux flancs à plier parallèlement.It is obvious that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown above and from which we can provide other embodiments, without departing from the scope of the invention. The method according to the invention has been described in connection with the folding of a cutout intended to form a conventional box, but it goes without saying that the process in question can be used to fold a cutout intended to form any type of box. when said cutout has at least two flanks to fold in parallel.
