Definitions

  • the present invention relates to egg boxes of the comprenart type on the one hand a plastic body, in particular transparent, consisting of a flat sheet of generally rectangular shape on which protrude downwards at least two longitudinal rows of open convergent cells upwards, and upwards, pins open downwards and situated between these two rows as well as lateral reliefs open downwards and situated along a longitudinal edge of the sheet, and on the other hand a cover in flat cardboard, the central part of which is supported by the pins and is bordered by two lateral wings inclined downward, the free ends of which are fixed to the lateral parts of the said sheet, at least one of the wings being fixed by adhesion.
  • These boxes are relatively economical and offer two large side surfaces that can easily be printed on the wings of the cover.
  • the lateral reliefs open towards the bottom form a gutter provided with hooking spouts allowing the snapping of a lateral wing of the cover, while the other wing adheres to the outer wall of a second gutter open upwards provided on the other longitudinal edge of the sheet forming the body.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an egg box of the same type which is more rigid and which consequently makes it possible to save on cardboard.
  • the invention relates to a box of the aforementioned type, characterized in that: (a) the sheet has on its two sides lateral reliefs open downwards; (b) the lateral reliefs each have a flat outer lateral face; (c) the free end of each lateral wing adheres to all of the faces lateral lateral reliefs on the same side.
  • a lateral wing has a band __ horizontal tear.
  • the invention also relates to a body made of plastic material, in particular transparent, intended to enter into the constitution of an egg box as defined above.
  • This body of the type consisting of a flat sheet of generally rectangular shape on which protrude downwards at least two longitudinal rows of converging cells open upwards and, upwards, pins open downwards and located between these two rows as well as lateral reliefs open towards the bottom and situated along a longitudinal edge of the sheet, is characterized in that the sheet has on its two sides lateral reliefs open towards the bottom, and in that these lateral reliefs each have a flat outer lateral face, all the outer lateral faces located on the same side being coplanar.
  • the egg carton shown in Figs. 1 and 2 consists of two parts: a thermoformed body 1 made of transparent or translucent plastic material, and a cover 2 made of cardboard.
  • the body 1 consisting for example of PVC or impact polystyrene, comprises a flat rectangular sheet 3 which joins by their large bases six cells 4 each having the general shape of a straight pyramid trunk with regular octagonal bases. Each cell is connected to the sheet 3 by a vertical wall 5 of low height which extends it upwards and on each side of which protrudes inwards a small spherical cap 6 for positioning an egg.
  • the bottom 7 of each cell is curved inwards in a spherical cap, with a flat marginal zone 8.
  • the cells 4 are distributed symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal plane of symmetry P of the box, in two rows of three.
  • This plane P is also a plane of symmetry for several elements projecting upwards, namely two pins or end columns 9, two central pins or columns 10, and eight lateral pins or columns 12.
  • the pins 9 and 10 have the shape of straight pyramid trunks converging upwards and a height approximately equal to that of the cells 4.
  • the horizontal section of the pins 9 is roughly triangular, that of the pins 10 is square.
  • Plan view, the large base of the pins 9 is formed by an end edge of the sheet 3 and by one side of the two extreme cells 4, that of the pins 10 by one side of each group of four adjacent cells.
  • the small bases 13 and 14 of the pins 9 and 10 are flat and contained in the same horizontal plane Q.
  • the pins 12 are located to the right of the pins 9 and 10 and have the shape of pyramids with a triangular base.
  • the base of the end pins 12 is formed by two sides of the sheet 3 and by one side of an end cell 4 and is therefore a right triangle.
  • the base of the intermediate pins 12 is an isosceles triangle formed by a longitudinal edge of the sheet 3 and by one side of an end cell 4 and a middle cell 4.
  • the tips of the pins 12 are all located at a level below the plane Q, and their outer faces 15, starting from the longitudinal edges of the sheet 3, define two inclined planes P 1 (Fig. 2) whose meeting line is horizontal and located in plane P.
  • the outer faces 16 of the pins 9 and 12 starting from the transverse edges of the sheet 3 define two inclined planes whose meeting line is horizontal and perpendicular to the plane P.
  • the body 1 is thermoformed in a single operation from a flat sheet of plastic, it is clear that the large base of the pins 9 and 10 as well as the base of the pins 12 is not materialized, unlike small bases 13 and 14 of the pins 9 and 10. In other words, it is possible to access from the bottom up to the top of all the pins 9, 10 and 12.
  • the two central pins 10 each have a small cylindrical stud at their top 10 has protruding upwards.
  • the cover 2 is produced from a rectangle 18 cut between two successive transverse lines 40 weakened or partially cut from a strip of flat cardboard 19 (FIG. 3).
  • the term "weakened line” means a pre-tear line which can be easily torn by hand and which consists, for example, of a series of small holes.
  • This rectangle comprises two longitudinal fold lines 41 located approximately halfway between the longitudinal edges 42 and the longitudinal axis XX, and two longitudinal fold lines 41a adjacent to the edges 42.
  • the lines 41 end at a short distance. lines 40 and are extended by slightly divergent cut segments 43.
  • the ends of the lines 41 are joined by two transverse fold lines 44 and are connected to the respective corners of the rectangle 18 by other fold lines 45.
  • the two segments 43 delimit with the lines 40 and 44 a central end flap 46 of trapezoidal shape, while lines 40, 45 and 43 define two lateral end flaps 47.
  • the lateral wings 35 of cover 2 are delimited by lines 41, 42 and 45 and have a trapezoidal shape.
  • a wing 35 has a longitudinal tear strip 48 which extends between the two corresponding lines 45, approximately halfway between the associated lines 41 and 41a.
  • the strip 48 consists of two symmetrical series and in the parallel set of bent slots 49 having successively in the direction of tearing a slightly divergent part 50 and a part 51 parallel to the axis X-X.
  • a gripping member 52 defined by a cutout 53 in the form of a marine anchor which makes two tabs 54 appear.
  • the slots 49 run in both directions from the member 52, as indicated by arrows carried by this member.
  • the other wing 35 of the cover 2 has over its entire length, approximately at the same distance from the edge 42 as the strip 48, a fold line 55 parallel to the axis X-X. From each line 45, the line 55 is extended to the adjacent line 40 by a cut segment 56 also parallel to the axis X-X.
  • a hole 57 is provided on the X-X axis; this hole has the shape of an equilateral triangle whose inscribed circle has a diameter slightly smaller than the projections 10 of the central pins 10 of the body 1.
  • the rectangle 18 is placed on it so that the projections 10a pass, slightly by force, the holes 57.
  • the two wings 35 are then folded down and glued to the lateral pins 12 in their regions located at - below strip 48 and line 55 respectively.
  • supports of appropriate shape are introduced into the pins 9, 10 and 12. This brings the gripping member 52 in the vicinity of an extreme lateral pin 12 but next to it.
  • the flap 46 is folded against the outer face of the adjacent pin 9, and the flaps 47 are folded so that their upper ends cover the lateral ends of the flap 46. These ends are glued to each other. .
  • the areas of the rectangle 18 intended to be bonded can be previously coated with a heat-lacquering lacquer or with another type of adhesive, for example an adhesive which is cold-adhered by simple pressure.
  • the free edges of the wings 35 are folded inwards around the lines 41a, which lie in the plane of the sheet 3. All of these operations are carried out automatically by means of conventional machines.
  • a tongue 54 is slightly pushed back with a fingernail to grip the other tongue 54, and one pulls on the corresponding side to tear off part of the strip 48, then one starts again on the other side by gripping the another tongue 54.
  • the remaining upper part of the wing 35 thus cut can then be grasped from below, and, by pulling upwards, the cover opens around the fold line 55 located on the other side, the pins 10a coming out of the holes 57.
  • the slots 49 could be extended, in the rectangle 18, up to the lines 40.
  • the lid can then be closed and kept closed, with a certain rigidity, by again making the nipples 10a penetrate into the holes 57.
  • the tear strip 48 can be produced in different ways. It can be a wire incorporated into the cardboard, or a narrow strip of resistant material capable of cutting the cardboard when its end is pulled, for example such as the strip available commercially under the registered trademark "TIRECEL".
  • the egg box thus produced is very rigid, and its cover 2 is not liable to separate from the body 1 during its handling.
  • the cover can be made with a thin and economical cardboard.
  • the printed stock consisting of cardboard in strips, is compact, as is the body stock 1.
  • the absence of cardboard on the small end faces of the box ensures good ventilation of the eggs, again favored by the shape of the alveoli, which only support the eggs in points.
  • the rectangle 18 b again includes the lines 41, 41a, 43 and 45 defined above, except that the lines 43 converge towards the axis of symmetry XX.
  • the holes 57 are removed, as well as the pins 10 a of the body 1.
  • two weakened lines 58 perpendicular to the axis XX; these extend beyond the lines 41 to approximately one third of the distance separating these lines 41 from the edges 42.
  • From each end of each line 58 symmetrically two weakened lines 59 slightly inclined towards the outside with respect to the XX axis.
  • the set of lines 59 thus draws, on each side of the axis XX, a weakened broken line 60 extending from one line 40 to another and comprising three elbows, one at its meeting with each line 58 and one midway between the two lines 58.
  • the installation of the rectangle 18 on a body 1 is identical to that described above with regard to FIGS. 1 to 3, the gluing of the wings 35 b taking place on the lateral pins 12 below the lines 60.
  • Two end eggs are accessed by tearing the parts of the two lines 60 between the corresponding end of the cover and the first line 58 encountered, as well as this line 58.
  • the axis XX could moreover be material dried by a weakened line to reveal only one egg at a time.
