Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container of the type specified in the preamble of Claim 1.
  • substantially parallelepipedal containers mainly made of cardboard, which are provided with retractable elements termed pouring spouts.
  • These spouts are made of metal material (aluminium), plastic material or cardboard and are fixed to a swivelling tongue formed in a wall of the container by making an inverted U-shaped cut therein and on which a central portion of the spout is fitted by clinching or gluing.
  • a spout is fitted to a box-like container 20 to pour a product in granular or powder form (not shown) contained inside the container 20.
  • a substantially inverted U-shaped cut 22 defining a tongue 23 which, by oscillating outwards about a transverse and horizontal articulation line x, enables the opening of the container.
  • the spout 10 has a central portion 10a fixed to the tongue 23 and two lateral tabs 10b which are bent and joined to the central portion 10a along respective bending lines. At the lateral edges of the tabs 10b there are formed at the top two identical protuberances 10c acting as stop elements against the wall 21 of the container in order to define the fully open position of the spout 10, as shown in Figure 3.
  • a first known system consists in applying on the pouring spout a guarantee label which has to be removed, for example, by tearing off, to allow the opening of the container.
  • This solution has clearly the disadvantage of a high cost and it has also turned out in many cases not to be applicable to existing packaging lines.
  • FIG. 4 of the appended drawings another known system to guarantee the integrity of the container consists in providing a guarantee tongue 24, integral with the container, which extends downwards from the upper edge of the face 21 of the container to cover at least a portion of the spout 10.
  • the tongue 24 is then glued onto the face 21 of the container, preferably by applying only one point of glue 25 at the lower end of the tongue.
  • a box-like container 20 is provided with a pouring spout 10, a central portion 10a of which is fixed (in this case by clinching) to a swivelling tongue 23 formed by a vertical wall 21 of the container 20.
  • the tongue 23 is obtained by making a substantially inverted U-shaped cut 22 in the cardboard blank from which the container 20 is manufactured, in the zone arranged to form the wall 21.
  • the tongue 23 has also an integral portion 26 which extends upwards beyond the upper edge of the central portion 10a of the spout in order not to be covered by the central portion and hence to be clearly visible from the outside.
  • the portion 26 is formed as a semi-elliptical extension appendage placed in an intermediate transverse position relative to the tongue 23.
  • the easy breaking zone is obtained, for example, by making a non-continuous cut along the perimeter of the portion 26 so as to leave at least one point 27 of attachment to the wall 21, the tearing of this point enabling to open the pouring spout 10.
  • the attachment point 27 is provided in a position clearly visible from the outside, for example, advantageously at the upper end of the portion 26, so that the user/buyer can immediately realise whether the container has already been opened or it is still intact.
  • the easy braking zone can also be obtained by making a sequence of openings or at least a segment with a reduced thickness with respect to the thickness of the cardboard along the entire edge of the integral portion 26 of the tongue 23.
  • the portion 26 of the tongue 23 is formed in a surface layer 28 of a two- or multi-layered cardboard and is attached to an immediately underlying layer 29 which is integral with the remaining part of the container wall 21 by means of an easy braking zone of the same type as those described above.
  • an easy braking zone of the same type as those described above.
  • a container according to the invention offers the following advantages:
