Definitions

  • the invention relates to a substantially block-shaped container made of a flexible plate-shaped material, which comprises a substantially rectangular bottom portion, and furthermore a rear wall, a front wall, an upper wall and two side walls, which walls together form the container.
  • a front edge of the bottom portion makes up the short side (width) of the bottom portion.
  • Such a container may be used for packaging sweets, which sweets may also be packaged individually.
  • the container may also function to display the sweets, whereby it is important that the sweets can be readily removed from the container whilst the container is for example present on a shop counter.
  • the container must be easy to handle, and it must be possible to open it in such a manner that the packaging is not damaged.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a container whose contents are readily accessible, and by means of which products, such as sweets, can be packaged and displayed in an efficient manner.
  • the container comprises a substantially rectangular rear wall, which joins the rear edge of the bottom portion and which comprises the same width as the bottom portion, a front wall, which joins the front edge of said bottom portion and which extends less high than the rear wall, and an upper wall, which joins the upper edge of the rear wall and which extends less far to the front than the bottom portion, and two side walls, which each join the respective side edges of said bottom portion, said rear wall, said front wall and said upper wall, which container is accessible via an opening defined by the front edge of the upper wall, the upper edge of the front wall and the edges of the two side walls positioned therebetween.
  • the flexible material of the container is preferably cardboard or plastic material.
  • the container is shaped in such a manner that it is easy to handle and that it can be placed on a counter in an efficient manner, whereby the products which are present inside the container are well-exposed to view and can be readily removed from the container by hand.
  • edge of the opening which is formed by a side wall is longer, preferably at least one and a half times so, than the edges of the opening which are formed by the front wall and the upper wall.
  • edges which are formed by the side wall are substantially twice as long as the edges which are formed by the upper wall and the front wall.
  • the distance from the front edge of the upper wall to the plane in which the front wall lies is larger, preferably at least more than one and a half times so, than the distance from the upper edge of the front wall to the plane in which the upper wall lies.
  • said distance from the front edge of the upper wall to the plane in which the front wall lies is substantially at least twice as large.
  • the opening is closed by a removable cover, which is shaped in such a manner that the plate-shaped material from which the cover is formed is in line with the front wall, the upper wall and the side walls respectively, so that the combination of container and cover is block-shaped.
  • the respective wall parts and the adjoining parts of the cover may be made from one and the same plate thereby, and be separated from each other by a tearable weakened portion in the plate material.
  • a weakened portion may consist of a perforated line, whereby the plate material is provided with a plurality of aligned holes, along which the plate material can readily be torn.
  • the tearable weakened portions are substantially straight, so that the edge of the opening will consist of straight portions at all times.
  • Said weakened portion preferably comprises one or more portions which surround a portion of the plate material, which portion of the plate material can be pressed out or aside with a finger. Thus a place is formed from where plate material of the cover can be take hold of with a finger and be pulled off.
  • the side walls are provided with fold lines for folding the side walls in such a manner that the side walls are moved outwards, at least near the opening.
  • a crease can readily be formed at a predetermined location on the plate material by providing a fold line, that is, a linear area where the plate material has been compressed or otherwise been locally worked.
  • the side walls each comprise three fold lines, which extend substantially from the corner where the bottom portion joins the rear wall to the edge of the respective side wall that bounds the opening.
  • One fold line may extend practically to the centre of said edge, and two fold lines may extend practically to the ends of said edge, so that the side walls can be folded in such a manner that the opening substantially forms a hexagon, preferably a substantially equilateral hexagon.
  • Such an opening provides optimum access to the contents of the container, whereby products can be removed from the container by hand or with fingers, for example, whilst the products are furthermore well-exposed to view.
  • one wall of the container may be transparent, at least locally, and preferably comprise an opening which extends in vertical direction.
  • This opening may be provided with transparent material, whilst the opening may be formed by pulling off a strip of tear-off material from the wall in question.
  • the embodiment wherein the side walls are provided with fold lines may be considered to constitute a separate invention.
  • the height of the front wall may be the same or practically the same as the height of the rear wall, so that the opening is formed in the upper wall of the container, at least substantially so.
  • the fold lines do not extend from the corner where the bottom portion joins the rear wall, but from another location near the bottom edge or the rear edge of the side wall.
  • each side wall comprises two fold lines, which extend from a corner point of the side wall.
  • One edge of said side wall, which extends from said corner point, also functions as a fold line when the wall is being folded.
  • the side wall comprises three fold lines, so that one portion of said side wall can be folded outwards. This will be explained in more detail yet by means of an embodiment.
  • a side wall comprises more than three fold lines, which all extend from the same location on said side wall.
  • the opening is present entirely or practically entirely on the upper side of the container, does not comprise an upper wall, and said opening can be formed by folding the fold lines substantially into a polygon.
  • the container and its cover forms a box having the shape of a triangle, preferably an equilateral triangle, when seen in side view, so that the front wall and the rear wall adjoin each other at their upper sides.
  • the cover thereby consists of a part of the front wall, a part of the rear wall and adjoining parts of the side walls, so that, once the cover has been removed, the opening is formed by the upper edge of the rear wall, the upper edge of the front wall and the upper edges of the side walls.
  • the side walls preferably comprise two fold lines thereby, which preferably extend from the ends of the bottom edge of a respective side wall to the central portion of the upper edge of said side wall.
  • the dimensions may thereby be such that a substantially hexagonal opening is obtained after said folding about the fold lines has taken place, which opening forms the substantially flat upper side of the container.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a method for displaying products, wherein use is made of a container as referred to above.
  • Figure 1 shows a container comprising a front wall 1, an upper wall 2 and two side walls 3, one of which is visible.
  • the combination of cover 4 and the container is block-shaped, whereby each side face of the block is a rectangle.
  • the container may form a package for several products.
  • the container may be made, in a manner which is known per se, by cutting a piece of flexible plate material, for example plastic material or cardboard, to a desired plane sheet, after which the plane sheet is folded and glued to form the container.
  • a piece of flexible plate material for example plastic material or cardboard
  • Cover 4 is connected with the container by means of a perforated line 5, which consists of a number of aligned holes in the plate material from which the container is made.
  • Perforation line 5 forms a weakened portion of the plate material, such that cover 4 can readily be removed from the container.
  • an annular perforated line 6 is provided both on the front side and on the upper side of the container, line surrounds a portion of the plate material which can readily be pressed aside with a finger. Due to the presence of the two openings in the material thus formed, cover 5 can readily be taken hold of with two fingers and be pulled off. When cover 4 is pulled off, the container as shown in Figure 2 is obtained.
  • Said Figure 2 shows a number of packaged products 14 present in the container, which products are well-exposed to view, as a result of which the container holding the packaged products 14 can be placed on a counter, for example, so as to display the products. Furthermore the products 14 present inside the container can be taken hold of and be removed from the container without any difficulty.
  • Figure 3 shows another embodiment, wherein the container comprises square side walls 3. Both the height of front wall 1 and the length of upper wall 2 amount to approximately half the height of side wall 3, so that perforated line 5 on side wall 3 extends at an angle of 45°.
  • Figure 4 shows the container, from which cover 4 has been removed by tearing along perforated line 5. The figure also shows the removed cover 4.
  • Each side wall 3 comprises fold lines 7, 8, 9, which consist of a linear compression of the plate material of the container, so that said plate material can readily be folded at the fold line.
  • the fold lines 7, 8, 9 of each side wall 3 extend from the corner 15 where the rear wall and the bottom portion of the container join each other.
  • Fold line 7 extends from said corner to the place where the front edge 10 of upper wall 2 joins side wall 3
  • fold line 8 extends to the place where the upper edge 11 of front wall 1 joins side wall 3.
  • Fold line 9 extends to the centre of that portion of perforated line 5 which is present on side wall 3.
  • Figure 5 shows how the fold lines 7, 8, 9 of side walls 3 can be folded in such a manner that the opening of the container is formed substantially into an equilateral hexagon. Not only does this lead to an attractive appearance, but in addition to that efficient access to and a good view of the contents of the container are obtained.
  • the three fold lines 7, 8, 9 may also extend from a location near the edge of side wall 3 other than corner 15. Furthermore front wall 1 may be higher, so that the opening is present more, or entirely, on the upper side of the container.
  • Figure 6 shows the rear wall 12 of the container, which rear wall 12 is provided with a vertical, elongated opening 13.
  • each side wall 3 may comprise several fold lines 7, 8, 17, as is shown in Figure 7.
  • FIG 8 shows an embodiment wherein each side wall 3 comprises two fold lines 7, 9, which extend from the corner point 18 of the side wall. Edge 19 of side wall 3, which extends from said corner point 18, also functions as a fold line when folding takes place. Side wall 3 thus comprises three creases, so that a portion of side wall 3 can be folded outwards, as is shown in Figure 9.
  • Figure 10 shows an embodiment of a container which, together with its cover 4, forms a box in the shape of an equilateral triangle, when seen in side view.
  • Front wall 1 extends obliquely to the rear thereby, and rear wall 12 extends obliquely to the front.
  • Cover 4 consists of portions of the front wall and the rear wall and of adjoining parts of the side walls, so that the removal of cover 4 provides an opening defined by the upper edge 20 of rear wall 12, the upper edge 11 of front wall 1 and the upper edges 21 of side walls 3.
  • Side walls 3 comprise two fold lines 22, 23, which extend from the ends of bottom edge 24 of side wall 3 to the centre of the upper edge 21 of side wall 3. The dimensions may thereby be such that a substantially hexagonal opening forming the upper side of the container is obtained after folding about fold lines 22, 23 has taken place, as is shown in Figure 11.
