  • the present invention relates to the packaging of eggs, fruit and other articles and, more particularly, to packaging boxes or cartons of the type comprising a moulded base part formed with article receiving pockets, and a cover part or lid which is fastened over the open top of the base part to close the latter.
  • the base part may be moulded from fibre pulp or plastics material.
  • the lid may be formed from a blank of sheet material, such as, paperboard or cardboard.
  • the base part which is of rectangular shape in plan, is of greater height than the eggs to be disposed in its article receiving pockets. It is moulded from transparent plastics sheet material and is closed by a separate flat rectangular cardboard lid which is disposed generally flush with the rim of the base part.
  • a separate flat rectangular cardboard lid which is disposed generally flush with the rim of the base part.
  • the flat cardboard lid is clipped to upstanding posts of the base part which project upwardly to the rim thereof in order to support and retain the lid in its closed position.
  • the lid may have tags of barb-like shape which are stamped from the lid material and these are depressed through holes in the tops of the posts. Alternatively, it may have apertures which are aligned with undercut portions of the pillars which snap into these apertures. Such devices are difficult to fasten.
  • the edges of the lid only rest on a narrow lip formed about the rim of the base part so that, whilst the lid is adequately supported centrally by the posts, its edges are not and have a tendency to bend downwardly within the base part, thereby risking damage to the contents of the box, paricularly, under the weight of a stack of boxes.
  • EP-A-0079757 forms part of the state of the Art by virtue of Art 54(3) EPC and in which the means for retaining the flat cardboard lid in its closed position on the base part comprises one or more hook-like projections integrally moulded with the base part and engaged through openings in the flat lid or over the edges thereof.
