Definitions

  • This invention relates to a box formed from a single piece of cardboard and having an internal pocket for housing an illustrative leaflet or the like.
  • the main object of the present invention is therefore to provide a box formed from a single piece of cardboard, which has in its interior a pocket into which the leaflet is inserted directly by the manufacturer of the box, the user of which has therefore merely to insert the article (bottle, etc.) which the box is intended to contain.
  • a further object is to provide a box of the aforesaid type in which the leaflet is retained securely adhering to the inner surfaces of the box, so enabling just the said article to be easily and quickly inserted into it by the box user.
  • a further object is to produce a box in which the illustrative leaflet can be inserted easily and quickly by the box manufacturer directly during the box formation stage.
  • said intermediate folding line of the supplementary panel and also the folding line which separates it from said last main panel comprise cuts made in the cardboard and extending for a limited portion of the length of said folding lines.
  • a portion of one end of said supplementary panel is glued to the inner surface of the main panel, to which it is faced.
  • a window open in a position corresponding with said pocket to enable a portion of the illustrative leaflet inserted into the pocket of the box to be seen from the outside.
  • the invention also covers the single piece of punched and crease-lined cardboard (or other flexible material) usable to form boxes having the aforesaid characteristics.
  • Figure 1 shows a spread-out piece of punched and crease-lined cardboard seen from its inner side, i.e. the opposite side to that on which the writing to be visible from the outside of the finished box is printed.
  • the cardboard piece comprises four consecutive main panels 1-4 and a flap 5 projecting from the first of the main panels, i.e. from the panel 1; the said panels and flap are separated one from another by parallel folding lines 6-9. From the two opposite ends of the main panel 3 there project two closure panels 10 (separated from the main panels by transverse folding lines 11 perpendicular to the folding lines 6-9) intended to form the lid and respectively the base of the box. From opposing sides of the main panels 2 and 4 there also project foldable sidepieces which for simplicity have not been numbered.
  • the characteristic of the cardboard piece illustrated in the drawings is that from the last of the main panels, i.e. the panel 4, there projects a supplementary panel 12A, 12B separated from said panel 4 by a folding line 13 parallel to the lines 6-9.
  • the supplementary panel is divided into two parts (12A and 12B respectively) by an intermediate folding line 14 also parallel to the lines 6-9.
  • the total width of the supplementary panel 12A, 12B is less than the total width of those two main panels 3, 4 consecutive to it so that when the supplementary panel is folded onto the two panels 3, 4, the two folding lines 9 and 14 do not lie superposed one on the other, while the longitudinal free edge of that part 12B of the supplementary panel lies parallel to but slightly spaced from the folding line 8 (as can be seen in particular from Figure 3).
  • the folding lines 13 and 14 of the supplementary panel there are provided short longitudinal cuts 15, 16 respectively, which facilitate the folding of the supplementary panel about said lines 13, 14.
  • the length of the supplementary panel 12A, 12B is less than the length of the main panels 1-4, to which they are faced in the folded box, and the upper edge of the supplementary panel is profiled, i.e. defined by a line which is arched (see the figures) or in any event not perpendicular to the lines 6-9, in order to facilitate insertion of a bottle (or other article) into the completed box.
  • a window 17 (which could also extend into the panel 4 and which could be obtained by stripping away a knurled panel portion), a window 18 also being provided in the supplementary panel: the presence of these windows can be useful but is not strictly necessary.
  • an illustrative leaflet 19 already printed and folded on itself is automatically rested on the main panels 3, 4, and a spot of glue is applied to the panel 4 ( Figure 2).
  • the supplementary panel 12A, 12B is then folded back onto the two panels 3, 4 such that the illustrative leaflet 19 is interposed between the two main panels and the supplementary panel ( Figure 3), which form between themselves a pocket open at its upper end.
  • the cardboard sheet is then further folded about the folding line 8, so that the supplementary panel rests on the inner surface of the panels 1, 2, and two strips of glue 21 are applied to the outer surface of the main panel 4 ( Figure 4).
  • the strips of glue applied to the panel 4 could instead be only one in number, or indeed the glue could cover the entire outer surface of the panel.
  • the purpose of the window 17 is to leave uncovered, and visible from the outside of the box, a portion of the illustrative leaflet 19 on which a bar code identifying the leaflet can be printed.
  • the window 18 enables the presence of the illustrative leaflet 19 to be verified, even if the finished box is open only at its lower end.
  • the user firm which receives the box already glued and folded as shown in Figure 5 then uses its normally used automatic machines to shape the box and close the base panel while leaving the upper panel or lid open, after which it inserts into the box the article which it is intended to house.
  • the article which it inserts into the box can be a bottle (not shown in the drawings).
  • the user firm has the great advantage of not having to also insert the illustrative leaflet into the box (as is currently the case), and not having to be extremely careful to prevent the bottle (during its insertion into the box) from interfering with the leaflet, to deform or crush it.
  • the supplementary panel automatically folds outwards about its intermediate folding line 14 (as the longitudinal free edge of the supplementary panel interferes with the adjacent inner surface of the panel 2). to form the pocket retaining the illustrative leaflet 19, which can then be easily extracted from the box by gripping it at the top where it is left free by the edge of the supplementary panel, as can be clearly seen in Figure 3 and especially in Figure 6.
  • the curved or inclined upper edge of the supplementary panel also facilitates insertion of the said bottle into the box, by preventing the bottle from jamming against this free edge of the supplementary panel.
  • the box represented in Figure 7 has a substantially square cross section, but it is obvious that the box may have a rectangular section, in which case some panels are larger than others.
  • Figure 8 is very similar to Figure 7 (and, for the sake of semplicity, the same reference numbers have been used therein) from which it differs essentially and simply because the supplementary panel has been folded inwards in such a way that the portions 12A and 12B of the supplementary panel face the panels 1 and respectively 2 of the box: in this case the portion 12B of the supplementary panel may preferably be glued on the internal surface of the panel 2 and the leaflet 19 may be retained between the panel and the portion 12A of the supplementary panel.
