Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to packages having hanging portions so that they can be hung on a support structure such as a display unit or the like.
  • the invention relates to a package in the form of a box comprising a hollow, prismatic body defined by a plurality of walls which include a pivotable wall articulated along a peripheral edge of a first wall so as to be able to adopt a closed position or an open position relative to an access opening to the interior of the body, this opening extending between said peripheral edge and a corresponding edge of a second wall opposite the first wall, the second wall being provided with an associated hanging portion projecting from the body and having means for the engagement of the package on a support device.
  • the pivotable wall is formed so as to be independent both of the hanging portion and of the other walls, except the wall to which it is articulated. It is thus possible to gain access to the interior of the body of the package in order to remove all or some of its contents simply by lifting the pivotable wall, leaving the package completely intact, which operation can easily be performed whilst the package is hanging on the respective support.
  • a purchaser of the package cannot normally tell at a glance whether the package has been tampered with or not.
  • the subject of the invention is a package of the type mentioned above, characterized in that the hanging portion is connected both to the pivotable wall and to the second wall of the body by separable connection means in a manner such that the separation of the hanging portion from the body in the region of said connection means renders the pivotable wall independent of the second wall so that the pivotable wall can adopt the configuration in which the access opening is open.
  • DE 195 41 443 A discloses a package of the type mentioned above, wherein the second wall is connected both to the hanging portion and to the pivotable wall of the body by separable connection means.
  • a package according to the invention comprises a body, generally indicated 1.
  • the body 1 is advantageously formed as a result of bending and fixing operations on portions of a single sheet 1a (see Figure 2) of card or similar material, shaped by known cutting and creasing operations.
  • the sheet 1a comprises, in particular, two main, quadrangular, larger walls 3 and 5 possibly having respective windows (not shown) for displaying a product contained in the package.
  • An elongate wall 7 to be disposed beside the walls 3 and 5 in the assembled configuration of the body 1 is interposed between the walls 3 and 5 and extends between two parallel crease lines 3b and 5c which also constitute respective sides of the walls 3 and 5.
  • Respective lateral flaps 9a and 9b of a shape similar to the side wall 7 extend from the opposite sides of the walls 5 and 3 to the side wall 7 and are defined relative to the walls 5 and 3 by respective crease lines 5b and 3c.
  • the side wall 7 and the lateral flap 9b have tabs 10, 12 at their opposite longitudinal ends.
  • a bottom flap 11a and a top flap 13a both extending between the wall 7 and the flap 9b, project from opposite sides of the main wall 3 and are connected to the wall 3 by respective crease lines 3a and 3b.
  • an edge portion 15 is connected to the top flap 13a, on the opposite side to the wall 3, by means of another crease line 15a having a pair of slits 15b at its opposite ends.
  • Two flaps 14b, 14a connected in succession to the opposite edge of the main wall 5 to the bottom flap 11b, are defined relative to one another by a common crease line 17, and are intended jointly to form a hanging portion of the body 1 for which purpose each includes a respective hole 16 which can be engaged by a portion of the engagement means of a support device (not shown in the drawings), such as a bracket or hook member of known type.
  • a support device such as a bracket or hook member of known type.
  • An auxiliary flap 13b having dimensions similar to those of the top flap 13a is also connected to the flap 14a on the opposite side to the flap 14b.
  • the opposite edges of the flaps 14a and 14b to the crease line 17, which are thus shared with the flap 13b and with the wall 5, respectively, are defined by punched tear lines 5d and 5e, advantageously formed by broken lines of slits.
  • the body 1 of the package is assembled first of all by folding the sheet 1a along the crease lines 3b, 3c, 5b, 5c so as to place the side flaps 9a and 9b on top of one another, and by gluing or welding these side flaps together.
  • the body 1 thus adopts a substantially parallelepipedal shape which defines a cavity delimited by the main walls 3 and 5, by the side walls 7 and 9a, 9b, and by the bottom wall 11a, 11b.
  • the flaps 14a and 14b are then folded along the crease 17 so as to be disposed side by side and the auxiliary flap 13b is placed on top of the pivotable flap 13a before the flaps 13b and 13a are glued or welded together.
  • the body of the package 1 with the respective product inside it is thus finally closed so that access to the interior of the package is prevented.
  • the unit constituted by the pair of flaps 14a and 14b can be torn off the body 1 along the tear lines 5d and 5e, at the same time releasing the flap 13a which can then be pivoted along the articulation crease 13d to the position in which the opening of the body 1 is open to afford access to the interior of the body 1.
  • the auxiliary flap 13b remains anchored on top of the pivoting flap 13a, rendering the latter stronger and better able to withstand the stresses brought about thereon by repeated opening and closure of the body 1.
