Abstract

The case is made of cardboard and is designed for powders, for example dust for laundry, water softeners and the like. It consists of a container box (3) of cardboard or other suitable mate rial and cover (2). The lid (2) is formed so that its outer side has a seat (22) in the shape of a measuring device a device (5) for measuring the powder. In the nest (22), under the length of the handle of the gauge (5) are slimmed recesses (23).

Description

The present invention relates to cartons for powders such as washing powders, water softeners and the like, from which measured quantities are taken and used.

For this purpose, known cardboard boxes of this type are provided with a measuring device, usually in the form of a spatula or spoon. This spoon is usually placed in the box during packaging and is in contact with the powder.

This means that the user must search the measuring device out of the dust after opening the package, which is not always easy. In addition, after measuring the quantity of the product, the consumer faces the problem of where to place the measuring device, which often leads to the loss of the latter.

It was suggested that the measuring device should be placed in the cardboard box but attached in an easily accessible place, for example by means of adhesive tapes to the inside of the lid. Although this solution solves the problem of sinking the measuring device in dust, it does not solve the question of where to put the measuring device after use.

It is also suggested that the measuring device be placed outside the corona box. But this solution is even worse than the previous one, as it not only eliminates the problem of picking up the measuring device after measuring the dust, but also creates a problem with the arrangement of the cartons in transport or similar cases.

Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a device for mounting the measuring device

2.

in the cardboard box, in a place where it can be easily reached by the user, and in this device a socket may be formed for stable storage of the measuring device after measuring the dust.

According to a basic feature of the present invention, this is accomplished by making the cardboard box cover of a relatively thin sheet of cardboard or plastic, and in this lid a socket is formed in the shape of the intended shape of the measuring device, and the measuring device must lie therein a socket so that it does not protrude beyond the outer surface of the lid.

The additional objectives, characteristics and advantages of the carton according to the invention will be further elaborated in the following description of the invention in connection with the accompanying drawings, where:

Figure 1 is an isometric drawing of a cardboard box according to the invention, with a measuring device placed in the socket of the lid and Figure 2 is an enlarged view of a portion of the cardboard box shown in Figure 1 showing a cross-sectional view of the transverse plane 11-11 of Figure 1 .

Jo refers to the drawings, and in particular to Figure 1, 1 denotes a cardboard box according to the present model. This cardboard box 1 consists of: a box 3 containing washing powder and made of cardboard or other suitable material; a handle 4 for carrying said cardboard box attached to the cardboard box by pins 41; a lid 2 made of a relatively thin sheet of plastic, hot-vacuum molded or extruded or otherwise molded, in order to obtain a socket 22 for inserting a scoop-shaped measuring device 5 such as said device 5 and said socket.

are coated with a self-adhesive sheet 21 of easily removable transparent plastic.

The socket 22 for convenience has two symmetrical recesses arranged along the handle of the measuring device so that the user can remove the device 5 from the socket easily and quickly. The measuring device can also be inserted back into the socket 22 after use. The plastic sheet 21, mounted as a cover on the socket 22 in which the measuring device 5 is located, is intended to protect the latter during storage, transportation and loss. The user can easily remove this sheet to get to. measuring device 5.

In this way, it is convenient to combine the measuring device with a package of * ¹¹ ^ erilJn ^ preparation, which facilitates the operations of the manufacturer, as this way he can easily pull together the measuring device and the cardboard box without worrying whether the user will be able to find the measuring device or how the carton itself will be transported. At the same time, the task of the consumer is also facilitated by the fact that he no longer has to search for the measuring device in the package and does not need to keep it from being lost during the use of the powder packaging; instead, it now has a measuring device 5 that is easily located and also easily stored in said socket 22 after use.

It is clear that the invention is not limited to the illustrated and described embodiment, but rather includes all such variants and modifications within the scope of the same original design that have the same suitability. For example, instead of or in addition to self-adhesive plastic sheet 21, I used

For sealing the socket 22, a suitable removable top cover made of transparent plastic or other similar material may be used.

Although in the example shown and described, the lid 2 is referred to as a thin sheet of plastic, it will be understood that it can be made of cardboard, pressed cardboard, metal sheet or any other suitable material.
