Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a box-like container construction, which has been specifically designed for packaging products.
  • cardboard box containers which are conventionally made starting from a cardboard die-cut sheet material and which are closed by a strip and, if desired, coated by or enveloped in a decorated paper.
  • the packages which simply comprise a paper sheet and a rigid tray as a bottom of the package, are not adapted to prevent the contained products from contacting one another.
  • prior box-like containers have generally poor aesthetic characteristics and, because of this reason, they must be enveloped by decorated paper.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a box-like container construction which is specifically designed to resist against an accidental opening without requiring the application of a closure strip or tape.
  • a main object of the present invention is to provide such a box-like container construction, which can be made with a very small amount of material and which reduces to a minimum the waste of material during the making thereof.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide such a box-like container construction which can be made at a very reduced cost while having a very satisfactory aesthetic aspect.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a box-like container construction which occupies a very reduced space in a stored and shipment condition thereof.
  • a box-like container construction particularly for packaging products, characterized in that it comprises two half-shells, each of which is formed of a die-cut sheet material, and has a concave configuration on a side thereof, defined by bending peripheral portions thereof, said two half-shells being provided with at least a pair of closure tabs which extend laterally, from opposite portions, toward the second of said two half-shells, and engaging with slots defined on the side surface of the second half-shell.
  • the container or box according to the present invention which has been generally indicated at the reference number 1, comprises a first half-shell 2 and a second half-shell 3 which are preferably made by die-cutting a material sheet, and which have a concave configuration on a side thereof, which concave shape is obtained by properly bending peripheral portions thereof, on a same portion of the sheet used for making them, as it will become more apparent hereinafter.
  • the two half-shells 2 and 3 can be superimposed onto one another with their concave sides in a facing relationship.
  • the first half-shell 2 is provided with at least a pair of closure tabs, respectively indicated at 4a and 4b, which extend from two opposite side faces of the first half-shell 2, in the direction of the other half-shell 3, and which engage in slots 5a and 5b defined on the second half-shell 3.
  • the first half-shell 2 is formed by a sheet element, preferably of a paper material, which is die-cut and is provided with a central portion 6 of substantially rectangular shape, or with a cut-out at the four corners thereof, and four peripheral portions, respectively indicated at the reference numbers 7, 8, 9 and 10, which also have a substantial rectangular configuration and are connected to the sides of the central portion 6 by a bending line 7a, 8a, 9a, 10a.
  • the first half-shell 2 further comprises corner portions 11, which have substantially an isosceles trapezoid configuration and have a slanted side thereof connected by a bending line 11a to the peripheral portion 7 or 9 and the other slanted side thereof which is connected, also by a bending line, which has been indicated at the reference number llb, to a restraining tab 12 which is in turn coupled to the adjoining peripheral portion 8 or 10.
  • the second half-shell 3 is made as the first half-shell 2 and is also provided with a central portion 16, and peripheral portions 17, 18, 19 and 20 which are connected to the central portion along a bending line respectively indicated at 17a, 18a, 19a and 20a.
  • the two half-shells 2 and 3 are made by die-cutting a sheet element and by bending the peripheral portions 7, 8, 9, 10 or the peripheral portions 17, 18, 19 and 20 on the respective central portion 6, 16. Then, the restraining tabs 12, 22 are affixed to the peripheral portions 10, 8, 20, 18 so as to provide the formed half-shell with a frustum of pyramid configuration, having its major base open and provided for facing the major base of the other half-shell, as is clearly shown in Figure 1.
  • closure tabs 4a and 4b extend from the peripheral portions 7 and 9, or from the peripheral portions which are connected to the large sides of the central portion 6.
  • closure tabs 4a, 4b are provided on one or more sides of the first half-shell 2, depending on requirements and on the overall length of the large side of the container.
  • closure tabs 4a and 4b are made in a single piece with the remaining part of the first half-shell 2, during the die-cutting of the latter.
  • the slots 5a and 5b are preferably defined at the bending line 17a and 19a connecting the peripheral portions 17 and 19 to the central portions 16 of the second half-shell 3.
  • closure tabs 4a and 4b are moreover provided, near their end to be engaged in the slots 5a and 5b, with anti-disengaging tabs 23a and 23b to be engaged against the edge of the slot 5a, 5b facing the peripheral portion 17 or 19 so as to efficiently prevent the tabs 4a and 4b from disengaging from the slots 5a and 5b upon the engagement thereof.
  • the peripheral portions 17, 18, 19 and 20 of the second half-shell 3 are provided, with a middle region thereof, along their opposite sides, with respect to the central portion 16, with locating recesses 24 and 25.
  • the recesses 24 are provided for receiving the tabs 4a and 4b
  • the recesses 25, defined by the peripheral portions 18 and 20 of smaller size are provided for receiving locating tabs 26 provided correspondingly on the side of the peripheral portions 8 and 10 of the first half-shell 2.
  • the second half-shell 3 is provided, on the convex side thereof, with a strip-like handle 27, which is coupled to the central portion 16 of the second half-shell 23.
  • the container or box according to the present invention can be supplied, if required, in a fully disassembled condition, as is clearly shown in Figures 5 and 6, and it will be assembled by the user.
  • self-adhesive glues can be used, preliminarily arranged on the side of the restraining tabs 12 and 22 to be superimposed on the peripheral portions 8, 10, 18 and 20, or by metal staples.
  • the box according to to the present invention can be also supplied with the two half-shells 2 and 3 in an already assembled condition and, in this case, for connecting the restraining tabs 12 and 22, it is possible to use glue materials having longer curing times.
  • the box 1 will require a very reduced space for the storing and shipment thereof since, even in a pre-assembled condition, it can be easily stacked on like containers.
  • the container or box according to the present invention will be self-evident from the above disclosure and, in particular, it will be apparent that the products to be packaged can be introduced into the first half-shell 2 which, by introducing the closure tabs 4a and 4b into the slots 5a and 5b can be easily associated with the second half-shell 3 which will operate as a cover.
  • the pairs of tabs 26, provided for engaging in the recesses 25, will provide the assembled container with a great resistance against pressure, and, accordingly, it will be possible to stack onto one another a plurality of product loaded containers.
  • a further advantage of the subject container or box is that it has a good aesthetic aspect, thereby it will be not necessary to coat the container by decorated paper material.
  • the used materials, as well as the contingent size and shapes can be any, depending on requirements.
