Definitions

  • the present patent application for industrial invention relates to a carrying strap made of paper or plastic material for the transportation of boxes or containers in horizontal position.
  • the carrying strap has been expressly designed to facilitate the transportation of cardboard containers for fresh from be oven pizzas. For this reason, the description will mainly refer to the specific requirements involved in the distribution of takeaway pizzas, which are met by the device according to the invention.
  • the carrying strap according to the invention can also to be used for the transportation of containers with sweets, cakes and similar items, as well a for the transportation of boxes with shoes or other clothing items, such a shirts or sweaters.
  • the following description will allow to understand how the device can be used for the transportation in horizontal position of any type of box or container, as long as with limited weight Going back to the most typical use of the device, that is the transportation of standard containers for fresh from the oven pizzas, it must be said that so far this operation is quite delicate due to several reasons.
  • the device according to the invention has been devised as a means to allow the transportation of cardboard containers, also in stacks, in perfect horizontal position, by only using one hand and without having to support with the hand the bottom of the first container in the stack, which may be quite hot.
  • the device according to the invention is represented by a special carrying strap characterized by high convenience, low cost and safe use.
  • the device according to the invention consists in a large strap of polyethylene or strong paper, provided with a top handle. In a preferred embodiment, it may be suitably punched in order to provide useful folding lines.
  • the strap In its operational condition, the strap must be used in vertical direction.
  • the lower end of the strap When expanded, the lower end of the strap represents the surface on which the boxes to be transported are placed, while the upper end of the strap is provided with two symmetrical holes located on the two ascending walls, used as a handle.
  • the carrying strap according to the invention features a longitudinal cross-section having the shape of an isosceles triangle, in which the base is represented by the lower horizontal section of the strap and designed to provide the support for the containers to be transported, the two convergent sides are represented by the two symmetrical ascending side walls of the strap and the vertex is represented by the convergence point of the ascending walls of the strap, under which the above holes with handle function are located.
  • the carrying strap according to the invention features a quite peculiar structure and use.
  • the lack of a top opening makes it completely different from standard shoppers, shopping bags, etc.
  • be fact that be sidewalls are missing makes it possible to insert the containers to be transported through the side openings that are obtained because of the absence of the sidewalls, as mentioned above.
  • the carrying strap according to the invention is made up of a tubular strap (1) of polyethylene or strong paper provided with a top handle made up of an opposed pair of elliptical cuts (2) located in the central and upper part of the strap.
  • the lower section (3) of the strap (1) represents be surface on which the box or tray is placed in horizontal position for transportation.
  • the strap (1) is provided with folding lines that allow for obtaining the operational condition in a fast, assisted way.
  • be lower end of the strap is provided with three folding lines used to determine the creation of the horizontal bottom wall (3) on which be containers and boxes are laid for transportation.
  • Them are three transversal lines, of which two (3a) have lateral symmetrical positions, while the bird (3b) has a central position.
  • transversal lines (4a and 4b) are located next to the upper end of the strap (1); two lateral symmetrical folding lines (4a) are located under the convergence point of the side walls (5) of be carrying strap and one central folding line (4b) is located on the top of the carrying strap, in the convergence point of the side walls.
  • the two sets of three folding lines are used to fold the device with minimum volume and maximum precision during packing, transportation and stocking.
  • the set of three folding lines (4a and 4b) located on the top are used to fold the vertex of the carrying strap downwards, so that the vertex is comprised and held between the two front and back ascending walls (5).
  • the set of three folding lines (3a and 3b) located on the bottom of the strap (1) allow for folding upwards the bottom wall (3) like an accordion, so that the two halves of the bottom wall are held against be internal sides of the two ascending internal wall (5).
  • figure 2A shows the strap (1) when be unfolding operation has been started, but not completed yet.
  • the ascending walls (5) are open wide, while the top convergence point and the bottom wall (3) have been partially translated to be extracted from be two ascending walls (5), upwards and downwards, respectively.
  • Figure 2B shows the strap (1) in operational condition, with be bottom wall (3) placed in a perfectly horizontal position and the upper central folding line (4b) at its maximum height.
  • Figure 2C shows the strap (1) in operational condition, loaded with a stack of pizza containers (C); this figure clearly shows that the containers have been loaded using the side openings caused by the lack of side walls.
  • the three figures mentioned so far show the symmetrical pair of elliptical cuts (2) located on the two ascending walls (5), in intermediate position between the central folding line (4b) and the two side folding lines (4a).
  • the two elliptical cuts (2) combined together originate the handle used for lifting and carrying the strap (1).
  • Figures 3A, 3B and 3C refer to another version of the strap (1) which guarantees excellent fixing mans for the stack of containers (C) loaded inside it.
  • This version of strap (1) features a similar structure as the strap described above. However, it features two bands (6) with adhesive internal side, that can be torn off from the edges of the two ascending walls (5), by means of a tear off line (6a).
  • the bands (6) After the bands (6) have been separated from be ascending walls (5) of the strap, they can be used to firmly fix the two ends of the stack of containers placed inside the strap, according to the sequence illustrated in figures 3B and 3C.
  • figure 3B shows one of the side bands (6) torn and rotated downwards, that it towards its operational position, while the second band is still incorporated into the two ascending walls (5) of the strap (1).
  • Figure 3C shows the two bands (6) in operational position, blocking the stack of containers (C) by partially embracing it, fixed both to the horizontal top wall of the last container in the stack and to the back vertical wall of the stack.
  • Figures 4A, 4B and 4C refer to another version of the strap (1), in which the top sections of the two ascending walls (5) are joined by means of a transversal linking line (7), above which the handle (2) is located.
  • this model of strap features a central tear off band (8) obtained through two parallel tear off lines (8a) located along the whole top section of both the front and back walls (5), under the transversal linking (7).
  • figures 4B and 4C show the use of the central band (8). After its separation from the ascending walls (5), the band can be used to embrace and fix the stack of containers contained in the strap (1).
  • Figure 4C shows how the section of the band (8) separated from the front ascending wall (5) of the strap (1) is fitted against the upper wall of the last container (C) of the stack, while the section of the band (8) separated from the back ascending wall (5) is fitted against the back lateral wall of the stack of containers (C).
  • the band (8) is provided with an adhesive internal side to firmly adhere against the horizontal and lateral walls of the stack of containers (C).
  • the removable tear off bands (6 and 8) of the last two versions of strap can also lack the adhesive internal side.
