Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to containers made of cardboard or the like, having an automatic bottom and, more particularly, to a container of the above mentioned kind capable of taking a substantially cylindrical shape during the assembly.
- the containers made of cardboard or the like, having an automatic bottom are already known. Their very important feature is to have a so-called “automatic bottom” that is a bottom which is self-forming during their assembly.
- the blank intended to form the container is provided with suitably shaped bottom tongues having mutual engagement means.
- These bottom tongues are glued in pairs to each other and once the longitudinal edges of the blank have been glued therebetween and the assembly of the container is started by transforming it from a flattened or bidimensional shape, as it is put on the market, to the final open or tridimensional shape, the so glued bottom tongues are brought in such a position as to form the bottom wall of the container and are retained in this final position by the mutual engagement of the engagement means.
- the present invention aims at obviating this drawback by providing a blank for containers made of cardboard or the like, having a new design and capable of permitting the assembly of cylindrical containers, the term "cylindrical” meaning a solid formed by generatrixes starting from points of a directrix formed by a closed line: circle, ellipse, oval...
- the blank according to the present invention is of the type having tongues intended to form the automatic bottom of the container and is characterized in that it comprises:
- the rectangular zone has two folding lines perpendicular to the side thereof corresponding to the bottom of the container in order to allow the container to be put on the market in a flattened shape and to be opened in its final tridimensional shape upon the use.
- the curved folding lines of the strip are in the form of circle arcs and have the same radius of curvature as that of the container to be formed.
- the curved folding lines of the strip are ellipse segments.
- the curved folding lines of the strip are oval segments.

- the blank is designated by 1 and has a zone 2 of rectangular shape intended to form the lateral wall of the container. This zone is divided in three portions A,B,C by two cross-folding lines 3,4.
- the rectangular zone 2 has on one shorter side thereof, in this case on the portion A, a glueing edge L.
- a strip Projecting from the upper larger side of the rectangular zone 2 is a strip, generally designated by D, divided in four segments D1,D2,D3,D4 each of which terminates in one of the tongues T intended to form in a manner per se known the automatic bottom of the container and bearing here the reference numbers 5,6,7,8.
- This strip D is separated from the rectangular zone 2 by a longitudinal folding line P and the tongues T are separated from the relevant strip segment D1,D2,D3,D4 by curved folding lines, generally designated by S and bearing here the reference numbers 9,10,11,12.
- the curved folding lines have the shape of an arc of circle and their radius of curvature correspond to that of the circular cylindrical container to be formed.
- the folding lines 9,10,11,12 in this case are four in number and their length corresponds to 1/4 of the blank lenght l and therefore 1/4 of the container circumference.

- Fig. 3 shows a second mounting step of the container.
- This step consists in glueing the glueing edge L to the opposite outer side of the rectangular zone 2 so as to obtain a closed element and in glueing the tabs 13,14 to the triangular tongues 6,8 so that the tabs 13,14 cover exactly the half portion of said triangular tongues, as can be seen in the cross-section of Fig. 4 wherein the zones marked by crosses designate the glueings.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention generally relates to containers made of cardboard or the like, having an automatic bottom and, more particularly, to a container of the above mentioned kind capable of taking a substantially cylindrical shape during the assembly.
- The containers made of cardboard or the like, having an automatic bottom are already known. Their very important feature is to have a so-called "automatic bottom" that is a bottom which is self-forming during their assembly. In order to obtain the automatic bottom the blank intended to form the container is provided with suitably shaped bottom tongues having mutual engagement means. These bottom tongues are glued in pairs to each other and once the longitudinal edges of the blank have been glued therebetween and the assembly of the container is started by transforming it from a flattened or bidimensional shape, as it is put on the market, to the final open or tridimensional shape, the so glued bottom tongues are brought in such a position as to form the bottom wall of the container and are retained in this final position by the mutual engagement of the engagement means.
- By means of this system containers having in plan view poligonal shapes, for example square, rectangular, pentagonal, esagonal shape etc. have been developed.
- However, till now it was not possible to provide a container having an automatic bottom and a cylindrical shape.
- The present invention aims at obviating this drawback by providing a blank for containers made of cardboard or the like, having a new design and capable of permitting the assembly of cylindrical containers, the term "cylindrical" meaning a solid formed by generatrixes starting from points of a directrix formed by a closed line: circle, ellipse, oval...
- More particularly, the blank according to the present invention is of the type having tongues intended to form the automatic bottom of the container and is characterized in that it comprises:
- a rectangular zone having a glueing edge on one of the sides perpendicular to the side corresponding to the bottom of the container and intended to form the lateral wall thereof,
- a strip projecting from the side of the rectangular zone corresponding to the bottom of the container and having at least three curved folding lines from which the tongues intended to form the automatic bottom extend, each curved folding line having an identical or different radius of curvature according to the cross-section of the cylindrical container to be formed,
- this strip being intended to be folded along a folding line which separates it from the rectangular zone of the blank and to be glued thereto,
- the bottom tongues having at least a curved side and forming in a manner per se known by means of glueing and folding operations the automatic bottom of the container.
- Advantageously, the rectangular zone has two folding lines perpendicular to the side thereof corresponding to the bottom of the container in order to allow the container to be put on the market in a flattened shape and to be opened in its final tridimensional shape upon the use.
- According to a feature of the invention, the curved folding lines of the strip are in the form of circle arcs and have the same radius of curvature as that of the container to be formed.
- According to another feature of the invention, the curved folding lines of the strip are ellipse segments.
- According to a further feature of the invention, the curved folding lines of the strip are oval segments.
- According to still another feature of the invention, a strip segment having a straight folding line can be provided.

cross-folding lines tongues toothed portion 16 of thetongues - Fig. 6 shows a second typical starting for obtaining a modification of the right circular cylindrical container provided with six tongues T intended to form in a manner per se known the automatic bottom. This blank is designated by 21 and has also a
rectangular zone 22 intended to form the lateral wall of the container. This zone is divided also in three portions A,B,C by twocross-folding lines rectangular zone 22 has on one shorter side thereof, in this case on the portion A, a glueing edge L. Projecting from the upper larger side of therectangular zone 22 is a strip D divided in three segments D1,D2,D3, each of which is provided with the tongues T, bearing here thereference numbers rectangular zone 22 by a folding line P. - In particular, the strip segment D1 has the
tongue 25, the strip segment D2 has thetongues tongues reference numbers folding lines - The tongues 25-30 have a specifical shape adapted to form the automatic bottom and, also in the blank of Fig. 6, these tongues are identical two by two. In particular, the
tongue 25 has the same shape as that of thetongue 28, thetongue 26 has the same shape as that of thetongue 29 and thetongue 27 has substantially the same shape as that of thetongue 30. Thetongues tongues inner folding line 37, whereas thetongue 27 has the shape of a circle,the radius of curvature of which corresponds to that of the container to be formed and thetongue 30 has the shape of a circle segment. - Fig. 7 shows the first mounting step of the circular cylindrical container with automatic bottom starting from the blank 21 of Fig. 6. This step consists in folding the strip segments D1,D2,D3, along the folding line P against the
rectangular zone 22 and in glueing them thereto by leaving free the bottom tongues 25-30. - Fig. 8 shows the second mounting step of the container starting from the blank 21 of Fig. 6. This step consists in glueing the edge L to the opposite edge of the
rectangular zone 22 so as to obtain a closed element and in glueing thetongues tongues circular tongue 27 is folded along thediametral folding line 38 and the semicircular portion G of this tongue to thetongue 30 having the shape of a circle segment which now, after the closed element has been formed, is in front of thecircular tongue 27, as can be seen from the cross-section shown in Fig. 9. Once this operation is terminated, the so obtained blank 21 is folded along thecross-folding lines - Fig. 10 shows the final mounting step of the container. This step consists in opening the so glued blank by exerting an inwardly directed pressure on the
cross-folding lines tongues tongue 30 overlaps thecircular tongue 27 in order to impart the necessary dimensional stability to the finished container. - In Fig. 10 the container is viewed from the bottom so as to show the
tongues circular tongue 27. - In Fig. 11 the container is viewed from the top, so as to show the
tongue 30 having the shape of circular segment which overlaps thecircular tongue 27. - In this case the engagement means shown in the blank of Fig. 1 are not provided, but in their place there are the
tongues - Fig. 12 shows a third typical blank for obtaining a container having an elliptical cylindrical shape provided, as in the embodiment of Fig. 6, with six tongues T intended to form in a manner per se known the automatic bottom. This blank is designated by 121 and has also a
rectangular zone 122 intended to form the lateral wall of the container. This zone is divided also in three portions A,B,C by two cross-folding lines 123,124. Therectangular zone 122 has on one shorter side thereof, in this case on the portion A, a glueing edge L. Projecting from the upper larger side of therectangular zone 122 is also a strip D divided in three segments D1,D2,D3, each of which is provided with the tongues T, bearing here thereference numbers 125, 126,127,128,129,130 and intended to form the automatic bottom. This strip is separated from therectangular zone 122 by a folding line P. - In particular, the strip segment D1 has the
tongue 125, the strip segment D2 has the tongues 126,127,128 and the strip segment D3 has thetongues - The tongues 125-130 correspond to the tongues 25-30 of the blank of Fig. 6 and are intended to form the automatic bottom. As far as the shapes of the tongues are concerned, they correspond to those of Fig. 6. In particular, the
tongue 125 has the same shape as that of the tongue 128, thetongue 126 has the same shape as that of thetongue 129 and thetongue 127 has substantially the same shape as that of thetongue 130. The tongues 125,128 have substantially a triangular shape with curved sides and the tongues 126,129 have substantially the shape of a rhombus with curved sides, divided in two tabs E,F by an inner folding line 137, whereas thetongue 127 has the shape of an ellipse, and thetongue 130 has the shape of an ellipse sector. - The mounting of the container according to Fig. 12 occurs exactly in the same manner as that of the container of Fig. 6, the sole difference being given by the fact that the base of the cylinder in this case corresponds to an ellipse and not to a circle.
- In Fig. 13 the elliptical cylindrical container with the formed automatic bottom is shown in perspective view.
- Of course, although only three embodiments of the present invention have been described, illustrating a circular cylindrical container formed starting from four and from six strip segments each having a curved folding line and an elliptical cylindrical container formed starting from six strip segments each having a curved folding line, it is apparent that the curved folding lines can be eigth or more in number.
- In Fig. 14 there is diagrammatically shown, for example, the cross-section of an oval cylindrical container and, if in the strip D also a segment having a straight folding line is provided, a cylindrical container having a flat wall portion can be obtained, as illustrated in Fig. 15.
- From the foregoing, it can be seen that by means of the blank according to the present invention it is possible to obtain a cardboard container or the like having the generic external shape of a cylinder in the mathematical sense expressed in the introductory portion of the description and provided with automatic bottom, what it was not possible to obtain using the blanks provided with tongues for the automatic bottom till now used.
