Definitions

  • corrugated cardboard packaging boxes formed of a bottom or so-called tray part, which is open at the top and all or part of which is shallower than the height of the product to be packaged, and of a top or so-called lid part, which is open at the bottom and is coupled to the bottom part in order to complete the sides of the box and to close it off at the top.
  • a packaging box of this type produced according to current methods, is expensive to produce, transport and use, precisely because it is made of two individual, and initially separate, pieces which, when the box is to be used, have to be handled by separate feed magazines and by separate squaring-up means and then have to be assembled and closed.
  • the packaging box is in the form of a conventional single-piece box.
  • the box according to the invention is initially taller and has cut lines and optionally weakened lines down its side walls which theoretically divide the box into a bottom part and a top part.
  • the top part additionally has longitudinal slots cut into its corners, beginning at its bottom edge and extending over a portion of its height, these slots suitably reducing the width of that portion of the side walls in which they are made. These slots and the said cut and weakened lines are made in the packaging box during the die-cutting stage of its production.
  • the box according to the invention may be treated in the same way as a conventional single-piece box of prestuck type. Even when it is to be used, the box is stacked together with other boxes in a single feed magazine from which it is extracted using conventional means. The box is opened out and squared up by conventional means and is sealed at the bottom using means which are also known, after which novel means act along the cut and weakened lines in order to separate the box into two parts and to ensure that the size of the transverse section at the bottom of what is to be the top part, which has the slots cut into the corners, is reduced so that it can be inserted telescopically into the bottom part of the said box. From this point on, the box is treated in an entirely conventional manner.
  • the box according to the invention has four side walls 1, 2, 3, 4, with an end tab or attachment seam 5, these walls being separated by parallel fold lines 6, 7, 8, 9 and having opposite closure flaps 10, 110, 11, 111, 12, 112, 13, 113 to which the said walls are connected via additional fold lines 14 and 15 which are parallel with each other and perpendicular to the said fold lines 6, 7, 8, 9.
  • the box is usually supplied by the paper manufacturer in the stage shown in Figure 2, with the attachment seam 5 stuck, or secured in some other way, to the internal face of the wall 1 and with the tube formed by the side walls in the flattened position i.e.
  • the packaging box according to the invention differs from a conventional packing box in that its side walls are suitably taller than the height of the product to be packed and in that during its production by means of die-cutting, weakened lines, for example perforated lines, and cut lines are made in the said side walls 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. As shown in the nonlimiting example of Figure 1, these lines are mutually aligned and parallel with the fold lines 14 and 15, but are closer to the line 15 than the line 14.
  • the smaller side walls 2 and 4 are provided with the cut lines 16 and 17 respectively, while the larger walls 1 and 3 and optionally also the attachment seam 5, are provided with weakened lines 18, 19, 20 formed by a succession of small cuts or perforations.
  • longitudinal slots 21, 22, 23, 24 of equal length are made over the fold lines 6, 7, 8, 9, in the side walls of what will be the top part B of the box.
  • the wall 1 may optionally have a recess 25 which repeats one half of the shape of the said slot 21 and which is designed to be superimposed over the portion of the slot 24 which is made in the attachment seam 5, when the box is prestuck as shown in Figure 2.
  • the portion of the side walls of the box in which the slots 21, 22, 23, 24 are made has a width which is suitably narrower than that of the other walls and more specifically, has a width approximately equal to or slightly narrower than the internal width of the box once it has been formed into a tube and opened up as shown in Figure 2.
  • the box's ability to be stacked during storage and transport stages is not in the least affected by the presence of the cut and weakened lines and of the slots referred to above. It goes without saying that, in contrast to the description given, the cut lines 16 and 17 may in part be interrupted by a small connection part in the intermediate zone. Similarly, the optional weakened lines 19 and 20 may be confined to the intermediate part of the side walls 1 and 3 while the remaining part may have cut lines.
  • the packaging box designed in this way can be inserted into the conventional magazine of a packaging machine provided with known means which take the boxes from the said magazine one at a time, open them up and close them off at the bottom.
  • a presser 26 as shown in Figure 3 is normally used. This presser is inserted into the open box and cooperates with a fixed or movable external abutment member 27 in order to fold the flaps 110, 111, 112, 113 which are superimposed on one another and are secured together by means of adhesives or glues.
  • the devices 28 and 29 and 26, 27 are withdrawn into the rest position and the box is in the form illustrated in Figure 4.
  • the top ends of the slots 21, 22, 23, 24 of the part B which represent a ribbed part which is extremely compression-resistant, rest on the corners of the side walls of the part A which constitute a similarly ribbed and compression-resistant part, while the bottom ends of the side walls of the said part B may or may not rest on the bottom of the part A. It is self-evident that with this sort of arrangement the box will have excellent strength with respect to stacking.
  • the product is inserted into the packaging box thus modified, after which the said box is closed at the top and is treated just like any other composite closed box.
  • the packaging box containing the product reaches the sales outlet, the part B is removed from the part A, leaving the product arranged on the part A which can then be displayed on the shelves in this condition.
  • Figure 5 illustrates a packaging box of the type in question which differs from that previously discussed by the fact that the weakened and cut lines 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 shown in Figure 1 are not mutually aligned and parallel with the fold lines 14, 15, but are in the form of a broken line, so that the top edge of the bottom part A of the box is not horizontal but oblique. Needless to say, by virtue of the same concept, the top edge of the part A of the box may have any suitable shape.
