Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a structure for cardboard case able to prevent impacts and accidental discharges of a product container housed therein.
  • the case according to the invention is destined to constitute a secondary package for product containers, in particular of the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry, able to be manufactured automatically with current die-cutting, folding and gluing machines of the paper packaging industry and usable with packaging machines for the automatic insertion of the container into the case.
  • the Italian Patent No. 1.223.178 entitled “Box structure with enhanced resistance to the opening of the bottom”, teaches how to prevent the accidental opening of the bottom of a box or case by means of the provision of a system of portions shaped as holding hooks on the two inferior tabs, destined to engage, after the closure of the case, into seats obtained in the crease between tab and bottom wall to block the opening thereof.
  • the aim of the present invention therefore is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art, providing, with a major reduction in costs, a case that offers considerable protection against impacts and a high level of security against the discharge of the container housed therein, even in case of accidental opening of the bottom of the case.
  • the invention solves the problem of providing a structure for cardboard case able to prevent impacts and accidental discharges of a product container housed therein.
  • a case structure is shown, developed in plane in the form of die-cut element 1 made of cardboard or the like.
  • the die-cut element 1 is substantially constituted by two parts, a first part 10 destined to form conventionally the exterior lateral walls, the bottom and the lid of the case once erected, and a second part 20, developing longitudinally to the first part 10 and destined to form, according to the invention, two interior counter-walls of the case, similarly indicated with the reference 1 as the starting die-cut element.
  • the first part 10 presents five portions 11, 12, 13, 14, 21 successively set side by side and separated by transverse folding lines or creases 112, 123, 134, 120 to constitute exterior lateral walls (indicated with the same numbers as the corresponding four portions) of the case 1 with parallelepiped shape and a "glue point" 21 for connection of the exterior lateral walls 11, 12, 13, 14.
  • the portions 11 and 13 are provided, on opposite longitudinal sides, with two tabs (indicated generically as 15, 15 and 16, 16), whilst the portions 12, 14 are provided, alternatively, with a closure 17, 18 with tongue.
  • the tabs 15, 15, 16, 16 and the closures 17, 18 with tongue are separated from the respective four portions 11, 12, 13, 14 with longitudinal creases generically indicated as 115, 116, 117, 118.
  • the tabs 15, 16 and the closure 17 constitute a bottom of the case 1, whilst the tabs 15, 16 and the closure 18 constitute a lid thereof.
  • the second part 20, joined to the portion 21 of the first part 10 of the die-cut element 1 by means of a crease 212 includes four portions 22, 23, 24, 25, successively set side by side and separated by transverse creases or folding lines 223, 234, 245.
  • the second portion 23 and the fourth portion 25 constitute two further "glue points" for connection with the exterior lateral walls of the first part 10, whilst the first portion 22 and the third portion 24 constitute, after erection, two interior counter-walls of the case, indicated with the same reference numbers as the respective portions that constitute it.
  • Each interior counter-wall 22, 24 is lightened over its entire width by a slot 26, 26 which separates within the same counter-wall a deformable septum 220, 240, superior from a rigid base 221, 241, inferior.
  • the slots 26, 26 are superiorly contoured by a concave profile and inferiorly by a rectilinear profile.
  • the counter-wall septa 220, 240 are shaped superiorly according to a concave profile, advantageously shaped as a circumference arc to ease the mechanical insertion of the container able to be housed therein. To enhance their elastic deformability, the counter-wall septa 220, 240 are provided with a series of transverse creases generically indicated as 2, which are further weakened or incised in their central segments 3.
  • the folding lines in the second part of the die-cut element 1 between the first portion 22 and the second portion 23, between the second portion 23 and the third portion 24 and between the third portion 24 and the fourth portion 25 are incised with lines having predetermined fracture in correspondence with the septa 220 and 240.
  • Figures 2 through 7, which are section views, show the case 1 in its erected configuration.
  • the portions 11, 12, 13, 14 of the part 10 of the die-cut element are folded according to consecutive right angles to form a parallelepiped with square base (or rectangular base, although it is not shown herein).
  • the part 20 is connected only with two "glue points" to the exterior lateral wall formed by the first part 1.
  • the portion 23 of the second part 20 is centrally glued to the portion 13 of the first part 10 of the die-cut element, whereas the portion 25, in addition to portion 21, is glued to the portion 11, opposite to the portion 13.
  • the counter-walls 22 and 24 folded orthogonal relative to the aforesaid portions 21, 23 and 25 are parallel to the walls 12 and 14, respectively provided with the bottom wall 17 and with the lid 18. The folding of the counter-walls is facilitated by the fact that the creases 223, 234 and 245 are incised with predetermined fracture lines in correspondence with the septa 220, 240.
  • a container 4 with substantially cylindrical body to be housed inside the case 1 is held in its lateral surface by the opposite septa 220 and 240, suitably deformed thanks to the creases 2, centrally incised in their central segments 3.
  • the bottom of the container rests on the rigid support bases 221 and 241 which are not involved in the deformation determined by the introduction of the container 4 into the case, thanks to the separation slots 26, 26.
  • the automatic introduction of the container 4 into the erected case 1 is facilitated by the superior convex lightening of the septa 220, 240.
  • the counter-walls 22 and 24 constitute means for absorbing any impacts coming to the case from the exterior and avoid the need for additional coating material for the container 4.
  • the provision of the septa 220, 240 with rigid bases 221, 241 in the counter-walls 22 and 24 themselves avoids the use of means with enhanced resistance against the accidental opening of the bottom of the case.
  • the bottom can remain wholly conventional.
  • the bottom of the case can be subjected to subsequent closures which do not impinge upon the effectiveness of the closure.
  • the lateral areas delimited by the counter-walls in addition to protecting the bottle against impacts, can be used for the insertion of illustrative flyers or other material.
  • the case remains conventional in its main structural parts, thereby facilitating its manufacture and quality control.
  • the interior of the case in terms of size and shape, can be modified to contain products with different overall shape.
  • a further advantage is represented by the fact that the case according to the invention requires neither modifications to the machinery and manufacturing processes used for its realisation, nor to the cycles for packaging the product container to be housed inside the case.
