Abstract
A container, in particular a box of corrugated board, for accommodating packs of commercial articles, comprises rigid container walls (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) with a closure part (7, 8, 9, 10) kept closed by an adhesive tape (12) attached to the container (1). At least one container wall (2) is provided with a cut-out hole or a removable tab (15, 16) defined by cut lines and/or weakened lines (17, 18) in the wall (2), which hole or tab (15) is arranged under an edge portion (13) of the adhesive tape (12).
Description
- The invention relates to a container, in particular a box of corrugated board, for accommodating packs of commercial articles according to the preamble of
claim 1. - Containers of the generic type, for instance boxes made of corrugated board, are used for accommodating packs of commercial articles such as packs of sanitary napkins, tampons, paper handkerchieves etc. The containers are provided with a closure part for instance in the form of cover flaps integrally hinged to the side walls of the container. These cover flaps are commonly kept closed by an adhesive tape of plastic material attached to the cover flaps and container walls, which tape is applied after the box has been filled and the cover flaps have been closed.
- The adhesive tape commonly of plastic material sticks tightly to the surface of the container and is very stable. In this regard, efforts have to be made to pull the tape off the container, peeling it off with the fingernails, or to break the tape to open the container, which is rather inconvenient. Normally, a tool such as a knife or a pair of scissors is required to this end.
- To facilitate the opening, several measures are known from the prior art, which apply to the adhesive tape itself.
- First of all, it is possible to fold a short end portion of the adhesive tape over, creating a non-adhesive tongue. This, however, requires additional technical measures in the tape-applying device of an automatic packaging system.
- Further, it is known, from common soft packages for paper handkerchieves, to use adhesive labels which have a non-adhesive edge as a grip portion. Transforming this configuration into an adhesive tape for closing the above-identified containers means that the length of the tape must be defined for each type of container. This is not practicable, as regularly a certain length of adhesive tape is cut off a supply roll of endless tape.
- Finally, it is known to apply a paper tab to the end of the adhesive tape so that the paper tab forms a grip portion not sticking to the container, this grip portion being easy to grasp by the fingers in order to tear off the tape. However, this system involves a decisive disadvantage in so far as again additional technical measures are to be taken in the packaging system. Besides, the costs for the container closure are increased substantially due to the extra paper tab.
- It is an object of the invention to provide a container of the generic type which can easily be opened without any complex and cost-intensive measures to be taken with the adhesive tape.
- In this regard, the invention proposes a container which is characterized in that at least one container wall is provided with a cut-out hole or a removable tab defined by cut lines and/or weakened lines in the wall, which hole or tab is arranged under an edge portion of the adhesive tape.
- Due to this configuration of grasping the adhesive tape directly with the fingers (in the case of a cut-out hole) or of pulling the removable tab out with the fingers together with the attached portion of the adhesive tape, the tape can be torn off easily. No inconvenient "fumbling" with the tape and no special tool is required for the tape to be torn off. As an advantage of the invention it is to be emphasized that absolutely no measures are to be taken with the adhesive tape itself to provide the easy opening mechanism according to the invention. Rather, the latter is incorporated in the container wall by cut-out holes or weakened lines being applied to said wall. This can be done simultaneously with cutting or punching of the blank for the container, for instance from an endless web of corrugated board.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the ensuing description of preferred embodiments, taken in conjunction with the drawings, in which
- Fig. 1
- is a perspective view of a container, and
- Figs. 2 to 4
- are partial side elevations of container walls with various embodiments of removable tabs and cut-out holes, respectively.
- Referring to Fig. 1, a cuboidal container made of corrugated board is shown, comprising a bottom wall (not shown), four
side walls top cover wail 6. The latter is formed by fourcover flaps side walls hinge folds 11 provided on the top edges of theside walls cover flaps cover wall 6. - The cover flaps 7, 8, 9, 10 of the cover wall 6 (as the flaps of the bottom wall) are kept closed by an
adhesive tape 12, which starts from an upper portion of theside wall 2 and runs along thecover wall 6, theside wall 4, the bottom wall and back to theside wall 2 to terminate at a lower portion of theside wall 2. - As can be see from Fig. 1, under both
ends removable tab side wall 2. Theseremovable tabs perforations 17. - To remove the
adhesive tape 12, it is only necessary to break theperforations 17 of thetab adhesive tape 12, which adhers to thetab - Fig. 1 shows a further embodiment for the easy opening mechanism according to the invention, which is outlined by dot-dashed lines. A
semi-oval perforation 18 is punched in the vicinity of theside edge 19 of thecover flap 7 in the center of thecover wall 6. Theremovable tab 20 defined by saidperforation 18 is thus arranged under a portion of theside edge 21 of theadhesive tape 12. Again, for tearing off theadhesive tape 12, it is only necessary to break theperforation 18 and to remove thetab 20 accompanied by tearing off theadhesive tape 12. - The embodiments of the removable tabs 15' and 15'' according to Fig. 2 and 3, respectively, are formed by an oblong-hole-type line of perforations 17', 17'' in one or
more walls 2 of the container. The tab 15' is symmetrically divided into two parts by a centrallinear cut 22, which runs parallel to the longitudinal direction of the oblong-hole-type tab 15'. The latter is arranged transverse to the longitudinal direction of theadhesive tape 12, theend 13 of which extends over part of the tab 15' and thelinear cut 22. Due to thiscut 22, the two-part tab 15' can be removed easily together with theadhesive tape 12. The hole in the side wall created by the tab 15' being removed can be used as a grip hole. - In the embodiment according to Fig. 3, the oblong-hole-type tab 15'' runs parallel to the longitudinal direction of the
adhesive tape 12. Besides, the tab 15'' is divided into two parts by a transverse central cut 22'. Theend 13 of theadhesive tape 12 covers only one of these parts and terminates at a short distance from the central cut 22'. Due to this arrangement, the opening procedure for a container is made very comfortable, as the lower part of the tab 15'' can be pushed into the container, exposing the edge of the upper part defined by the cut 22', which can easily be grasped with the fingers and torn off together with theadhesive tape 12. - Another embodiment for a tab 15''' is shown in Fig. 4, according to which the perforation 17''' defines a triangular shape of the tab 15'''. The
end 13 of theadhesive tape 12 is located in the central part of this triangular shape. An arched cut 22'' extends between the twoadjacent corners end 13 of theadhesive tape 12. Theflap 25 defined by this cut 22'' can be pivoted inward to the tab 15''' to be grasped easily and torn off together with theadhesive tape 12. - According to Fig. 5, a further embodiment of the invention comprises an oblong-hole-type cut-out
hole 26 defined by a closedcut line 27, which lies under theend 13 of theadhesive tape 12. Thehole 26 runs parallel to the longitudinal direction of theadhesive tape 12. The width w of the cut-outhole 26 is less than the width W of the adhesive tape. Theend 13 of theadhesive tape 12 covers half the length of the cut-outhole 26. Due to this arrangement, part of theend edge 28 of theadhesive tape 12 is exposed to be easily grasped for theadhesive tape 12 to be torn off the container.
