CZ3322U1 - Variable jigsaw - Google Patents

Description

The subject of the technical solution is a variable jigsaw (folding box), designed for transport, storage and display of small products.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Currently, paper packages of various designs are used to transport and store small products. From cardboard boxes and boxes of classic design to various boxes and folders (folding boxes and boxes). Specifically, it is for example two-piece jigsaws, consisting of upper and lower parts, two-piece sliding jigsaws, jigsaws with sliding lid or closure, jigsaws with handle closure, jigsaws with combined closure (combination of ear and plug closure), etc.

A general drawback of the above-mentioned crates, boxes and folders is the fact that their constructional solution, respectively. design, from the point of view of the use of these packaging is single purpose. It is assumed that the priority function is the protection of goods during transport and storage. As regards the display of goods at the point of sale, the function of such packaging is largely limited. Possible advertising of the offered goods is largely limited only to suitable printing of the outer surfaces of the packaging, respectively. incorporation of transparent parts allowing direct view of the goods inside the package. Obviously, this type of packaging does not meet the requirements dictated by competitive market relations for some goods. the possibility to offer the goods in the original packaging in the most efficient way.

The essence of the technical solution

A variable puzzle for transporting, storing and displaying small products according to the technical solution contributes to the elimination of the above mentioned shortcomings. This jigsaw is, similarly to the commonly known jigsaws, formed by a blank of sheet material, the central part of which is folded in parallel fold lines and connected in the edge area to the shape of a quadrilateral prism forming the sides of the jigsaw. Foldable flaps, forming the bottom and lid of the puzzle, are connected to each side of the shell on one side and the other. The principle of the solution consists in that at least three flaps of the flaps on at least one side of the shell are each formed by the base part of the flap, the surface of which comprises in size and geometric shape a surface corresponding to the surface of the respective wall of the puzzle. The foldable flap is then connected to this basic flap part.

The foldable flaps of the two opposing flaps are preferably provided with cut-outs and the flap of the remaining third flaps is then locked for interlocking the flaps to each other after folding the flaps around the respective walls of the puzzle case.

The main benefit of the variable puzzle according to the technical solution is the fact that, thanks to its design, it allows easy adjustment - simply by folding the flaps around the respective walls

-1GB 3322 On the case of the puzzle - Change the packaging character significantly. In this way, the jigsaw can successfully fulfill the function of packaging small products both during transport and storage as well as in the sale of products. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Fig. 1 shows the shape of the blank material for making a puzzle, Fig. 2 shows a schematic illustration of a puzzle adapted for the transport and storage of products, Fig. 3 shows a diagram of the transformation of a puzzle into a shape suitable for displaying products 4, a schematic illustration of a puzzle adapted for displaying the products at the time of sale.

Exemplary embodiment

The variable jigsaw of the exemplary embodiment is formed by a cardboard blank having the shape of FIG. 1. The central portion of the blank is folded in parallel bending lines (shown in dashed lines in the figure) and then joined to the quadrilateral prism sheath forming the sides of the jigsaw. Each of the walls 1, 2, 2 and 4 of this shell is connected to one side and the other with foldable flaps forming the bottom, respectively. lid, jigsaw. Three flaps 5, 7 and 8 of the flaps on one side of the shell each consist of a base part 5 ', 7 ^1, 8', whose area includes both in size and in terms of geometric shape surface corresponding respective walls 1, 3rd, 4th tires. On the base part 5 ¹ 7 '. 8 then follows ^one of said foldable flap 5 '', 7 ^'1, 8 ^11th

¹ foldable flaps 5 'and 7' of ^one of two opposite flaps 5, 7 are provided with recesses 9 and the flap 8 ^{1 1,} the remaining third of the flap 8. Then, the cams 10 for the mutual temporary connection flaps 5 ^'1 7 ^{1 1} 8''after folding, flap 5, 7 and 8 around respective walls 1, 2 and 4 of the housing.

The folding device in the arrangement shown schematically in FIG. 2 serves to transport and store the products. In this arrangement, the flaps 5, 2 and 8 are folded and closed under the flap 6 forming the lid of the folding device. Obviously, in this case, printing of the outer surfaces of the walls 1, 2, 2 and A of the closed puzzle is visible.

To display the products on sale, after opening the lid (flaps 6) of the puzzle, the flaps 5, 7 and 8 fold over the respective walls 1 and 4 of the shell, the base parts 5 ¹ , 7 'and 8' overlapping these walls 1, 3, 4. 3). In this state (see FIG. 4), the flaps 5, 7, two fixed mutual temporary pooling their flaps 5 ¹¹ 7 ^{1 1} 8 ¹¹ entrapping the lock 10 of the flap 8 ^'1 in the slots 9 of the flap 5 ^{1 1} 7 ^{1 1.} As a result, the original printing of the outer surfaces of the walls 2, 2 and 4 is replaced by a different printing of the base parts 5 ¹ , 7 'and 8 ^{1 of the} flaps 5 »2/8, which is better adapted to the offer of products on sale. A new puzzle shape with a raised rear edge of the bottom can also contribute to this - thanks to the wedge (eg trapezoidal) superstructures of the base parts 5 'and 7 *, the flaps 5 and 7 relative to the walls 1 and 2 of the shell. The combination of these elements, together with the possibility of a direct view of the products in an open puzzle, gives an impressive product offer.

Claims (3)
