Definitions
- the invention relates to a punnet made of plastics material, according to the pre-characterizing part of claim 1, which is meant for packaging, for example, fruit and vegetable articles, or any other kind of articles.
- a punnet of this kind is known from the document GB-A-2 200 340.
- the lower end portions of the stiffening ribs extending around the connection edge between the sidewalls and the bottom of the punnet terminate immediately beyond the said connection edge, close to the edge portion of the punnet bottom and at a distance from the downwardly projecting bottom member.
- the invention aims to provide a punnet of plastics material according to the pre-characterizing part of claim 1, that will be capable to afford a higher stiffness and a greater strength, particularly against a punnet-deforming pressure being applied on its bottom area, however by using very simple and low-cost constructional means.
- the invention attains this object by the provision of the features according to the characterizing part of claim 1.
- the particular features of the punnet according to the invention proved to be highly efficient in that the punnet is thus imparted a considerable stiffness and strength particularly against a punnet-deforming pressure being applied on the punnet bottom area. This advantageously avoids that the goods accomodated in the punnet may become damaged as the goods are being, for example, handled or carried.
- a punnet is shown, designated as a whole by reference numeral 1, which is specifically made by molding a foil of plastics material, such as PVC, polypropylene, or the like.
- the punnet 1 has its sidewalls 2 fitted with a plurality of side-by-side stiffening ribs 3 extending in a substantially vertical direction from the punnet upper part to the punnet bottom.
- the stiffening ribs 103 forming the lower end sections of the stiffening ribs 3, extend about the connection edge 4 between the punnet sidewalls 2 and the punnet bottom 5.
- the stiffening ribs 3 provided in punnet 1, and the stiffening ribs 103 forming the lower end sections thereof, are made of one piece with the adjacent portions of punnet 1 and, more particularly, these stiffening ribs are obtained by having the plastics material foil for a punnet properly bent out.
- the stiffening ribs 3 are triangular in shape, and are tapered toward the stiffening ribs 103 substantially having an unvarying width.
- connection edge 4 between the punnet sidewalls 2 and the punnet bottom 5 has a rounded shape. This turns to advantage not only from the manufacturing standpoint, but also in that longer stiffening ribs 103 can be made.
- the stiffening ribs 103 forming the lower end sections of the stiffening ribs 3, are respectively connected to the stiffening ribs 3 for stiffening the associated sidewalls 2 of punnet 1.
- the step-like means 203 are formed in the bottom region of the punnet sidewalls 2, near to the location at which the sidewalls 2 are attached to the rounded connection edge 4.
- the stiffening ribs 3 are further bent out, which contributes to increase the stiffening action on the rounded connection edge 4 between the bottom 5 and the sidewalls of punnet 1.
- this also allows to have the stiffening ribs 3 for stiffening the associated sidewalls 2 of punnet 1, as well as the stiffening ribs 103 forming the lower end sections thereof, more easily made with a different shape in cross-section.
- the stiffening ribs 3 associated with the punnet sidewalls 2 are actually square in cross-section, and the stiffening ribs 103 forming the lower end sections thereof, have a rounded shape.
- the punnet bottom 5 is provided with a part 6 forming a downwardly projecting member thereon.
- the said downwardly projecting member 6 is in form of a continuous annular element extending over the whole perimetric portion of the bottom 5 of punnet 1, at a slightly retracted position relative to the rounded connection edge 4, which element is formed with transverse members 106 for linking the opposite long sides of punnet 1 to each other.
- the stiffening ribs 103 forming the lower end sections of the stiffening ribs 3, are connected substantially perpendicularly to a side edge of the downwardly projecting, continuous annular member 6 extending from the punnet bottom 5, so as to be flush with the bearing bottom side of said member 6.
- the stiffening ribs 103 for stiffening the connection edge 4 may, for example, form the portions on the said edge 4, of continuous stiffening ribs starting from the upper part of one sidewall 2 of punnet 1, and extending through the punnet bottom 5, to the upper part of the opposite sidewall of punnet 1. Otherwise, the said stiffening ribs 103 may form the end sections of stiffening ribs extending from side to side over the punnet bottom 5.
