Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of modularization (module) support that is used to have the container of outward extending access plate.Concretely, the invention provides a kind of Universal, modular support, described support can form an array by two or more container modules.Advantageously, the present invention can be used to the layout piece of the independent setting of floor, shelf and/or sales counter placement.The present invention also can use suspension arrangement, and for example double faced adhesive tape, hook and ring buckle type fastener and hook and boring device are draped.
Background technology
Goods producer and retail trader, promptly " sellers " hereinafter sell their most products in retail and wholesale shop.Because product display space in these shops is often limited and closely occupied, so sellers can be at war with for the space on shop shelf, floor, wall, pillar and the sales counter.In addition, because in the production marketing process, the approaching easily of the high observability of product and product is principal element, so sellers are also for the certain region-competitive on shelf, the floor etc.As a result, the regional fine of the horizontal level of consumer's eyes and other the high observability in the shop searched out.Unfortunately, the spacial flex of high observability even also more limited than common spacial flex.
The production marketing person can not be fixed to product in the high visibility areas, just may cause the consumer can not notice sellers product, reduce the price, and cause income from sales loss.Low production is sold and may be caused product " to be moved " from shop shelf, so that vacating space comes the better product sold utilization for anticipation.Limited store space also causes other problem, is included in product and is placed on out of the way place or narrow short local time, has reduced the easiness that product is transported.
Sellers' attempt is by providing picture to solve the product visibility problem to product container, described picture makes container be more prone to be seen by the consumer.But, now, because nearly all sellers utilize identical method to make their product be more prone to visible, so also become not obvious in the product carton of single container a large amount of beautiful decorations actually.
Except that shelf, the shop has several zones that are used to show, these zones all are not utilized or are not fully utilized, for example wall and pillar.But most traditional transporting with display container can not utilize these display area in fact, do not use because container is designed to erect, and do not have suspension arrangement, or the both do not have.Have the access plate, have or do not have the erected container of suspension arrangement by use, can recognize specifiable advantage.In addition because store display space is limited, so if different product can be before being received in the point of sale by " bundle " together so that show, so even can be more favourable in the point of sale.Tie together if will be applicable to the various consumer products in sale distribution place, this can provide consumer's layout piece of user individual.For example, the candy producer can be with a carton that contains the loaf sugar of a plurality of one type independent packings, another contains the carton of the loaf sugar of a plurality of dissimilar independent packings, and another contain on common holder and above be printed with and promote and/or the carton of another consumer products of seasonal image ties together.Carton in the support can have summary and/or the image relevant with product that is printed thereon; Therefore, after promoting end, sellers can easily remove carton from support, and continue the carton sell goods from single general decoration.Significantly, because the product distribution merchant no longer must be to printing seasonal on the carton and/or the property promoted image, so the product distribution merchant recognizes that this in fact also is a kind of saving.Retail trader can give the relevant information of printed product on common carton and/or the carton.Seasonal and/or the property promoted image can be printed on the support, thereby reduces the cost that is associated with the carton image of chop and change.In addition, the assembling of layout piece is not labour's intensive style for retail trader, even have the layout piece that the product of sellers' selection is accommodated in sellers' customized personal wherein.Sellers can accept the assembled custom layout piece, and described layout piece seldom or not need to need the labour before being demonstrated.When sellers need or when promote finishing, display part is disassembled into single product carton easily.
Sellers have designed the carton that has access plate, range of distribution and suspension arrangement.Referring to, US patent No.3 for example, 121,511; 3,207,380; 3,265,246; 3,278,080; 3,528,597; 3,593,908; 3,747,833; 3,944,128; 4,186,866; 4,646,937; 5,458,272; 5,857,586; 6,189,778; 6,216,944; With European patent No.0 295 503.Unfortunately, neither one discloses the Universal, modular support of the single and user individual that can be enjoyed by a plurality of cartons in these prior art reference papers, described modular rack respectively has a radially openable access plate, and/or the assembly of the various sizes carton module of the easy assembly and disassembly of permission in modular rack.
Therefore, need a kind of method to customize ground " bundle " more than unit product container, the mode of bundle is to utilize the store display zone that is not fully utilized, allow product more showy for the consumer, and assemble easily, transport, show and dismantle, maintenance simultaneously or increase consumer are to being contained in the proximity of the product in the product carton.

Advantage of the present invention is that several sizes and/or shapes of containers can be assemblied in the same modules exhibit part.For example, the modules exhibit part with three layers can comprise a wide vessel that is arranged in top layer, is positioned at two narrower containers in middle level, and another wide vessel that is positioned at bottom.By the size of change module support blank, the number of plies in the module support blank, container dimensional, and/or container shapes those skilled in the art will recognize that multiple displaying selection.
Other advantage be can with promote/or seasonal image be printed on ability on the modular rack, thereby allow to remove easily the single carton module that will print normal image/product specific image, described product specific image is not at certain distribution and/or season and specific.
A preferred embodiment according to many container moduleizations support base of the present invention is displayed among Fig. 1.A knocked-down module support blank is to remove the base that does not also have assembling or fixing any plate from bicker.A preferred embodiment of modular rack of the present invention shown in Figure 1 comprises after two that 20, one of 10, two side plates of plate comprise at least one panel 30, at least one accessing zone 40 and the header board of a following accessing zone 50 optionally.Accessing zone 40 can be an opening, perhaps preferably limit by frame plate 70 at least in part, described frame plate is bored a hole along the border of itself and side plate 20 or is cut, and bore a hole along its coboundary with the panel 30 that is located immediately at accessing zone top or cut, be the border perhaps with gap 80.Preferably, described base comprises the gap 80 between frame plate 70 and is located immediately at the panel 30 of frame plate top.Gap 80 can help to the container location, also is convenient to along its perforation trace assembling frame plate 70.
Another embodiment according to many container moduleizations support base of the present invention is displayed among Fig. 5.This embodiment of modular rack of the present invention comprises the feature identical with Fig. 1, has just added module support bottom panel 100.Module support bottom panel 100 has gusset sides 110, and described gusset sides has gusset fold line or trace 90.At the assembly process of unitary display or array, described fold/score lines makes gusset sides folding easily.As selection, gusset sides 110 can fold by hand or be bonding in advance, thus, gusset 110 the inboard in bight farthest be adhered to the inboard of side plate 20.In this bonding in advance form, side plate 20 is risen to a position perpendicular to panel 30, module support bottom panel 100 can be risen to it thus and preferably be orientated, and can prepare the modular rack that is fit to the loading module container.
When shown in Fig. 2 and 6, when having frame plate 70, splice 70 can be torn along perforation, if perhaps almost completely be cut can be separated during only remaining little join domain/breach, and with a kind of on the modular rack surface, produce opening and in modular rack, produce the mode of shelf folding.Described shelf limits an interval between the container that will be accommodated in the modular rack, and when container is housed, provides further rigidity to modular rack.More importantly be that described shelf allows container to be positioned in the modular rack effectively, so that the access plate of container suitably aligns with the accessing zone of modular rack.As being illustrated from accompanying drawing, shelf is optional, but preferred a selection, because each shelf is taken on the location guide spare of the container of shelf top and shelf below.
The same just as previously stated, two or more containers that modular rack will be fit to show are together wrapped.Fig. 2 has described a modular rack of erectting and having assembled; But the described container that will be accommodated in wherein is not shown.For modular rack and container are fitted together, module support blank is preferably placed in ventricumbent mode, if there is frame plate 70, frame plate 70 folds or tears along its perforation, if perhaps just it almost completely is cut separatedly during only remaining little join domain/breach, and be folded, up to perpendicular to panel 30.The container of the appropriate size of access plate is arranged like this before having, so that its access plate can be approaching from accessing zone 40.Structure as required can be placed two or more narrower containers shoulder to shoulder, and to utilize same accessing zone 40, perhaps a broad carton can utilize whole accessing zone.As those skilled in the art can recognize, the modular rack modular rack that has a layer or a plurality of layers can provide several array combination.Each panel 30 on same modular rack can have different height, to hold the container of several difformities and size, also various array structures can be arranged.The size of side plate 20 and back plate 10 also can be regulated at various containers.As mentioned above, those skilled in the art will recognize that countless different arrays may.
Fig. 4 has described a schematic and preferred unitary display 1, and described layout piece is three layers of embodiment that each layer has three cartons.The top 120 of three cartons of the superiors can be visible.The side plate 20 and the panel 30 of modular rack have also been described in addition.The preferred module that has the open carton access plate 100 with preferred side arm 110 is shown as the outstanding accessing zone 40 that passes modular rack.
Module support blank can comprise a fixture (fixative) in inboard somewhere.Described fixture can be for example one or more pressure-activated double-sided adhesive tapes, described adhesive tape spreads over the whole width of module support blank inboard, so that array assembled good after, the one or more plates that are placed in each carton in the modular rack can be fixed to modular rack.Double-sided adhesive also can/be placed in as an alternative on the short transverse of modular rack inboard.More preferably, can utilize the box band to wait and reduce cost.In any case preferably, fixture and/or adhesive tape should not contact carton module, so that can not uglify the image that is printed thereon.Specifically, Fig. 5 and 6 described preferred embodiments with module support bottom panel make the array can be assembled under the situation of the carton module that does not need fixture and/or adhesive tape to contact wherein to hold.
Another kind of suitable fixture is the heat sensitivity binding agent that is applied in when binding agent is in molten state.When two surfaces of bonding together the time, the binding agent that is melted is applied to first surface, and second surface is placed with first surface and directly contacts then.Soon, the binding agent that is melted is with regard to very fast hardening after two surfaces combine, because after combination, the environment temperature on surface has almost just been cooled off binding agent immediately.Preferably, the surface that be bonded in together is held a period of time under measuring phase, fix up to binding agent.Certainly, the assembling of array can be undertaken by machine, and this is that those skilled in the art can recognize.
As those of ordinary skills were cognoscible, the surface can be combined by the mode that comprises interlocking portions from the teeth outwards.For example, a surface can comprise an otch or groove, and described otch or groove are suitable for another lip-deep corresponding Lock Part of accepting to connect.
As previously mentioned, preferably, modular rack and carton module can be assembled under the situation that is not applied in fixture between module and the modular rack and/or adhesive tape.This can be by for example, after the array assembling is finished, and the mode that back plate 10 and box band etc. are combined and realizing.If being dimensioned to after folding round the carton module rear portion of back plate 10 can be joined its outermost edge, adhesive tape etc. just can be used to connect the outermost end of plate 10 afterwards so.Adhesive tapes etc. can be fixed by the seam that produces along back plate 10 outermost edge intersections.Preferably, adhesive tape continues downwards, and centers on the bottom of assembly, and preferably, can not continue the front portion around assembly.
If use the modular rack that preferably is equipped with base plate, the program of application of tape is also identical so, and just adhesive tape can not contact the carton module on the bottom.On the contrary, module support bottom panel will be in the folding position, and as shown in Figure 6, preferably, base plate covers the whole bottom of the carton module in the unique or lowermost layer of assembly.When adhesive tape extended bottom assembly, adhesive tape can be fixed to module support bottom panel rather than carton module bottom.Even dismounting also is simplified, because described assembly can be upside down, and shaken, and skids off up to carton module.As an alternative or add, adhesive tape can be stripped from and/or cut, thereby allows modular rack to separate with the carton module that is accommodated in wherein.In any case dismounting all is simplified, and can advantageously avoid the uglifying of any image on the carton module, thereby allow to be illustrated in separately carton module intact on the aesthetic feeling.
After carton module was positioned in the modular rack, modular rack must be folded from the carton front to the carton back round carton, and is fixed.In order to accomplish this point, by the modular rack of bending between side plate 20 and panel 30, side plate 20 is by folding towards carton module.Then, by the modular rack of bending between back plate 10 and side plate 20, back plate 10 is by folding towards carton module.If use the modular rack that is equipped with base plate, module support bottom panel must also will be folded and put in place so.This can be for example by accomplishing towards folding module support bottom panel 100 of carton module and gusset 110.Before module support bottom panel 100 and carton module began to contact, gusset 110 along fold/score lines 90 and inwardly towards the carton module bottom, suitably folded half separately diagonally.The gusset 110 that utilization is folded, module support bottom panel 100 can be docked with the bottom of carton module.If desired, module support bottom panel 100 can just be folded before placing carton module and put in place.Then, carton module can be placed, so that gusset 110 is clipped between carton module sidepiece and the rack module side plate 20.If the use fixture in case fixture is arranged between modular rack and the carton module so, has just been finished whole component exhibiting.As an alternative or add, can utilize the above-mentioned program that adhesive tape is set.
