  • a tube or tube flask has two main faces separated from each other by two lateral edges and a bottom located opposite a neck, with a free edge defining a dispensing opening. The two edges lateral flaring towards the bottom.
  • the background can be made a welding, folding or gluing line, made at one end of an open cylindrical tube.
  • the largest width of the tube is made at the bottom line.
  • a tube bottle has a bottom also having a substantially straight portion, but the bottom is obtained by molding with the rest of the bottle.
  • the body of such a tube bottle has a shape such that its greater width is located, either at the level of the bottom line, or on a portion of the body more or less distant from the bottom.
  • the tube may have a decreasing width over a portion of its height, located between the widest area and the bottom, a width portion increasing being formed between the shoulder of the vial and the area of more great width.
  • the wedging means comprise two notches in a "V" shape arranged on either side of the tube and separated by a distance less than the greatest width of the tube, said notches opening out in the vicinity from one end of the box.
  • V-shaped notches are drawn so that the portion of greater width of the tube body (or tube vial) exceeds the portion hollowed out of each notch, the lateral edges of the tube (or tube bottle) coming in engagement with the edges of the notches in "V".
  • the blank used for the formation of the box is constituted a sheet of cardboard, corrugated cardboard or any other material, such as a plastic sheet, suitably cut and folded.
  • this box has a external parallelepiped shape, formed by two main faces parallel, two parallel side faces, and two end flaps parallel, one of which is open for the introduction of said object, the means for wedge the object with one or two internal wedging faces, oriented parallel to the lateral faces, and comprising an open notch of the side of the flap open.
  • prismatic boxes there are two wedges arranged on either side of the object.
  • each notch is delimited by two edges located opposite one another, and substantially forming a "V", one of the edges of each notch being of axial height less than the other edge forming said notch and consists of two portions forming an angle with respect to each other.
  • each side on the side opposite the end which is connected to the median panel, is attached, by a fold line, to a flap arranged substantially parallel to the main faces, each flap being attached to a lateral flange glued against the internal surface of a lateral face associated.
  • one of the main faces in particular that located opposite the middle panel, has a open cutout to view the object, especially during the presentation on the shelves of the point of sale.
  • the object immobilized in the box can not rotate around its longitudinal axis, so that the visible part of the object is always presented the same way. This is important when the object has a logo allowing the consumer to identify said object.
  • the formation of the box according to the invention can be carried out on a simple industrial tools, because no complicated folding is necessary during this procedure.
  • Figure 1 shows a schematic perspective view of the box according to the invention, with partial tearing of the external walls.
  • Figure 2 shows the same view of the box as Figure 1, a tube being wedged in the box.
  • Figure 3 shows a schematic view of the following cross section the plane III-III of figure 2 (side view).
  • Figure 4 shows a schematic view of the following cross section the plane IV-IV of figure 2 (top view).
  • Figure 5 shows a view of the blank of the box of Figure 1, before folding.
  • FIG. 1 to 4 a box of parallelepiped shape, having a longitudinal axis X, comprising three pairs of faces external rectangular, each pair being formed by two parallel faces: two main faces 4, 8, two side faces 2, 6, and two flaps closure 28, 36, by which the box can be opened or closed.
  • Face 4 constitutes the front face commonly called by the term “facing”; the face 8, opposite the “facing”, is hereinafter referred to as "back”.
  • One of the flaps closure 28 is attached, along a fold line 28a, to one of the main faces 8 (see also Figure 5).
  • the other flap 36 (see figure 5) is attached to the other main face 4, along a fold line 36a.
  • the flaps 28, 36 are located axially on opposite ends, one of the other, main faces 4, 8.
  • Each flap is provided with a flap 30, 38 adjoining the respective flap by a fold line 30a, 38a, parallel to the fold lines 28a, 36a.
  • a first lateral face 2 is attached along a fold line 2a to the first main face 4, or "facing".
  • Main face 4 is attached to a second lateral face 6, along a fold line 4a.
  • the second lateral face 6, in turn, adjoins, along a fold line 6a, to the second main face 8 (back).
  • seven others shimming flaps 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 and 22, adjoining, successively, one to the other, by parallel fold lines, are attached to the back 8.
  • this object is a tube T, comprising a body closed by a bottom F obtained by pinching and heat welding the end of the body. It can be seen, in particular in FIGS. 3 and 4, that the bottom F of the tube T is flattened and wider than the rest of the body of the tube.
  • the bottom of the tube has two lateral edges F 1 and F 2 which are each housed in a notch E formed in the wedging device.
  • the wedging device comprises two rectangular sections 14, 18, of width slightly less than the width of the side faces 2, 6, and located on either side other of the tube T, parallel to said side faces.
  • Frames 14, 18 are interconnected by a middle panel 16 along two lines of folding 16a, 16b.
  • the middle panel is fixed, for example by gluing, on the inner surface of the "back" 8.
  • each sections 14, 18 is attached to a side flap 12, 20 oriented parallel to the "facing" 4.
