Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a box or holder to contain and dispense products.
  • the present invention relates to a box to contain and dispense medicines, cosmetics or similar products which are already contained in some form of primary packaging e.g. in phials, ampules, blister-packs or similar containers.
  • such products are generally put on sale inside boxes or holders also containing, in the case of medicines, an information leaflet giving the dose and other information.
  • US-A-4,284,197 discloses a box, the upper portion of which forms a “cap” comprising the top side of the box and three lateral sides. This "cap” is pivotable and, when closed, overlaps to corresponding three lateral sides of the box.
  • a portion of one of these sides is attached to a side of the "cap” and may be removed upon lifting of the "cap”.
  • US-A-5,123,589 discloses a recloseable package box for developed photographic prints or similar flat articles, having length and height substantially greater than its thickness when erected.
  • the box has an open top and a top closure panel attached at each end corner of its free edge to the box body; the attached corners are defined by preset rupture lines to permit opening of the closure panel.
  • An object of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned problems by means of a box or holder with improved accessibility.
  • a part of one of the sides of the body of the box is attached to the closure flap and a line of perforations allows it to be detached from the body of the box when the closure flap is raised to open the box.
  • the removal of laid part completes the formation of the opening giving access to the interior of the box.
  • the closure flap is temporarily attached to the body of the box by glueing an extremity of the flap defined by a line of pre-set detaching perforations in the flap for the detachment of the same flap from the body of the box.
  • the box according to the present invention offers obvious advantages on the present state of the art; in addition to an increased accessibility to the interior of the box, the presence of the tear-off glued extremity of the closure flap constitutes an anti-tamper device without impeding closure of the box once it has been opened.
  • closure flap can be printed with information relating to the product e.g. the ingredients in the case of sweets or food products, or the contents of the information leaflet, thus obviating the need for the latter, in the case of pharmaceutical products.
  • die-cut element any element obtained by press die-cutting, regardless of the material in which it is made, as well as similar shapes obtained by other techniques such as stamping.
  • the die-cut element 1 of fig.1 presents a plurality of sides 2 -6 which together form the body of the box assembled in an already known manner.
  • sides 2 -6 which together form the body of the box assembled in an already known manner.
  • a part 7 of the side 3 has been cut out and forms an opening to the interior when the box is assembled.
  • Said opening can be re-sealed by means of a flap 10 which extends from side 6 and can be attached to side 3 of the box.
  • the opening 12, which is formed when the box is assembled and opened, could exactly correspond to the cut-out portion 7 (extending also to both sides of the body of the box - figs. 3 and 4) or could be formed by the removal of part 7 and the removal of a further part of one or more sides of the body of the box. This latter solution is shown in the embodiment of figs 1 and 2.
  • the flap 10 is an extension to, and an integral part of side 6, i.e. there are no separating fold-lines; side 6 and flap 10 form a single whole.
  • side 6 is attached to the remaining end side 3 of the die-cut element 1 to form the body of the box; in particular, side 6 is glued to the outer area 3a of side 3.
  • Said area 3a is defined with respect to the rest of side 3 by perforation lines 13 and in part by the cut-out portion 7, such as to cause area 3a to tear away from the remaining side 3 when the box is opened (Fig.2) thus forming a larger opening 12 than the cut-out 7 alone.
  • area 3a of side 3 could include the area corresponding to the cut-out 7.
  • the opening 12 would be formed by area 3a being torn away when the box is opened.
  • the embodiment shown in figs. 3 - 5 is similar to that of figs 1 and 2, with the difference that in this case the closure flap is composed of three elements 10a, 10b and 10c.
  • the first of these, 10a corresponds to the flap 10 integral with side 6 described in fig.1. Since the closure flap extends to three sides of the body of tile box, the closure elements 11 and 15 are attached to side 2 of the box instead of side 3 as in fig. 2.
  • the closure flap preferably presents means of attachment which can removably attach it to the underlying side of the body of the box up to the box opening.
  • said means consist of a plurality of glue points or glue zone(s) 14, which attach the outer area 11 of the closure flap to the underlying side - side 3 in fig. 2 - of the box.
  • Said glue zone is defined by a line of perforations 15 which allows the closure flap 10 to be torn away from its outer edge 11 which remains glued to the body of the box.
  • closure flap presents further means of attachment so that it can be attached in a non-permanent way to the body of the box.
  • Said means consist e.g. of portions of a pressure adhesive of the replaceable type or, as shown in the figures, of a slot 17 cut into the body of the box, preferably surmounted by a cutaway to facilitate its use, and a projecting tab 16 on the outer edge of the closure flap.
  • the corners of the same are preferably notched at 16a.
  • the internal part of the closure flap could carry instructions about the use of the product which could replace or complement any information leaflet in the pack.
