Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the sector of cardboard packaging and in particular to a lid for a cardboard carton according to the preamble of Claim 1.
  • Cardboard cartons of this type are used, for example, to carry goods such as beverages contained in plastic cups closed by a perforable foil from the production site to the point of sale (especially to supermarkets and other large retail sites).
  • Products of this type are formed into groups (comprising six or twelve products in rows, for example) and these groups are then stacked like bricks to form more complex structures (two or three layers of several adjacent groups, for example) which are then packaged in a cardboard carton.
  • the latter is preferably constituted by a base part with sides, for receiving the products.
  • the base part is then closed by a lid generally constituted by a central panel (which forms the top surface of the carton) from which side walls extend to partly surround the side walls of the base and are secured to the latter by spots of hot-melt glue.
  • Substantially similar cartons can of course be used for other products, including non-food products.
  • the deformed portions may project from the assembly of cartons loaded on the pallet, with the risk of causing them to catch on adjacent stacks and/or on external obstacles, thereby risking being torn.
  • both the base and the lid constitute three-dimensional bodies which, by virtue of the heavy application of adhesive in order to ensure that they are solid and strong, are difficult, or at least not easy flatten for disposal.
  • the base and/or the lid require tough action, which often results in the part being torn, thereby dispersing fragments or residues.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an arrangement able to overcome the aforesaid disadvantages.
  • the base 1 is preferably constituted of a single piece of sheet material (typically cardboard, such as corrugated cardboard, especially in cases in which the carton is required to have a degree of mechanical strength) in which a rectangular central panel or base 3, a pair of sides or shorter walls 4 and a pair of sides or longer walls 5 can be distinguished.
  • a single piece of sheet material typically cardboard, such as corrugated cardboard, especially in cases in which the carton is required to have a degree of mechanical strength
  • shorter and longer refer to the relative dimensions of the walls, which are significantly different since the central panel 3 is rectangular.
  • the central panel could, of course, also be square, and would then have side walls of about the same dimensions.
  • the shape could also be rectangular but complementary, as it were, to that illustrated, that is with the two sides constituting the shorter sides becoming the longer sides and, vice versa, those shown as the longer sides becoming the shorter. In such a case, the structure of the sides 4 and 5 would be reversed, without however having any appreciable effect on the scope of the invention.
  • each of the sides 4 is constituted by a respective square or rectangular central main portion 41, with two edge flaps folded over on themselves and glued by their distal end to the main portion 41.
  • the sides 5 are generally U-shaped. They therefore comprise two lateral arms 51, each of which is in contact, when the respective side 5 is folded against the corner formations 42, with one of the respective corner formations 42 of the pair between which the respective side 5 extends.
  • the two lateral arms 51 of the U shape are connected to each other by a main portion 52 which is connected in turn by a fold line to the respective edge (in this case one of the longer edges) of the central panel 3.
  • the main portion 52 is preferably formed, again according to known criteria, as a double structure - with the obvious aim of increasing strength and rigidity - by folding over a distal portion 53 against the proximal portion connected to the central panel 3.
  • the sequence of operations to assemble the base 1 calls for the sides 4 to be arranged perpendicular to the central panel 3 and also the sides 5.
  • the base thus formed is next consolidated in its final assembled shape, which provides a concave configuration for receiving the intended products, by the application of sealing points, typically spots of hot-melt glue.
  • the lid 6 shown in detail in Figure 3 also comprises a central panel 7, which is rectangular in the embodiment illustrated.
  • the dimensions of the central panel 7 are preferably identical, or substantially identical to those of the central panel 3 of the base 1, since these two elements are intended to constitute the base surface and the top surface of the finished carton C. It is conceivable, however, that the dimensions of the central panel 7 could be greater or smaller than those of the central panel 3, thereby giving the carton C the general shape of a truncated pyramid, either narrowing or broadening at the top.
  • the central panel 7 of the lid 6 also has two sides 8 along a first pair of edges (the shorter edges in the embodiment illustrated) and two other sides 9 along the other pair of edges (the longer edges in the embodiment illustrated).
  • the sides 8 are preferably shaped somewhat like an eyelid, in the sense that their dimension measured from the fold line 8a connecting them to the central panel 7 is minimal (preferably nothing) at the corners of the central panel 7 and increases gradually (preferably symmetrically with respect to their central region) to a maximum which is preferably reached around mid way between the ends of the side or corners and the mid region of the side.
  • the sides 9, on the other hand, are generally tapered from their proximal region 90, joined to the central panel 7 along a fold line 9a.
  • the aforesaid tapered shape preferably gives the proximal portion 90 an approximately trapezoidal shape, with the distal portion 91 of the side 9 extending as an approximately rectangular shape from the shorter side of the said trapezoid.
  • One or more tabs 92 project in a transverse direction from the distal portion 91. The function of these tabs will be explained later.
  • the products to be packaged are arranged in the base 1 in one or more layers on the central panel 3, for example when the base 1 is still in the condition shown in Figure 2, that is with the sides 5 still open, away from the corner formations 42.
  • the products could, of course also be stacked onto the central panel 3 at an earlier moment, before the sides 4 are folded upwards, that is even before they are arranged in the position shown in Figure 1.
  • the lid 6 is fitted by arranging it over the base 1, substantially in the condition shown in Figure 3.
  • the central panel 7 thus rests on the upper ends of the corner formations 42 (and on the upper edges of the mid-portions 41 of the sides 4) with the sides 8 projecting over the upper edge of the said central portions 41 and the sides 9 projecting from the fold line 9a.
  • the sides 8 of the lid 6 are then turned down against the central portions 41 of the sides 4 of the base 1. These sides 8 are then secured in this position by the application, for example, of staples or of beads of an adhesive such as hot-melt glue.
  • the sides 9 are also folded back against the carton C in two movements illustrated schematically in an ideal sequence, to the left and to the right of Figure 4 respectively. It must be emphasized that this sequence is ideal since the single movements described hereafter should preferably be carried out simultaneously and symmetrically on the two sides of carton C.
  • the sides 5 can be made to secure the sides 9 against the carton by providing the sides 9 with tabs 92, preferably projecting from their distal portions 91, which can be inserted (as a result of the folding mechanism shown in Figure 4) between the corner formations 42 of the base 1 and the lateral arms 51 of the corresponding folded sides 5.
  • the sides 9 can be secured against the carton simply by being hooked to the sides 5 of the base 1, without the need for fixing points (by staples or beads of adhesive, for example).
  • a cardboard carton which is both simple and very robust. In particular, it provides considerable resistance to mechanical stress on the sides 8 which, thanks to their girder-like conformation, do not tend to bulge outwardly, even when the carton is subjected to considerable vertical stress.
  • the lid 6 consists once again of a simply folded element of sheet material and is thus easy returned to its flat state for disposal. This with no need for detaching any points, with the possible risk of tearing.
  • the arrangement of the invention enables the need for closure points to be kept to a minimum.
  • These can be simply beads or rings of beads or strips of hot-melt adhesive material, such as those indicated S in figure 5 alone (it will be recalled, once again, that this illustration is schematic, since the said connection elements S are applied to the surfaces which are hidden from outside view), arranged over the area where the tabs 92 are inserted between the corner formations 42 and the arms 51 of the sides 5.
