Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to containers for packaging use, especially suitable for holding fruit and vegetable products, the containers being in the form of an open-topped parallelepiped defined by a flat base and, perpendicular to this, two side walls and two end walls.
- As is well known, these containers are produced by folding a single flat sheet of packaging material, such as board, corrugated board or the like, which has first been shaped and notched by blanking. The various parts of the packaging which are thus formed are then fixed together by staples, adhesive or other similar systems.
- Despite its low weight, a single container occupies much more volume than the flat sheet prepared as explained, so the cost of transporting a batch of containers can be greatly reduced by supplying them, ready shaped and with their fold lines, in the form of stacked flat sheets. It is then the job of the purchaser to carry out all the operations necessary to give them the final desired shape, by folding and/or interlocking the various parts and securing them by the methods described earlier.
- Very often therefore, in order to make such containers available for use, a purchaser must obtain appropriate equipment, consisting of machines designed to apply adhesives and/or perform stapling. Consequently the use of containers produced in accordance with the prior art involves the supplementary cost of the abovementioned equipment, besides the further costs and loss of time necessary to use them.
- By contrast, the inventor of the present innovation has devised a container for packaging use of the type described above which, in a novel way as far as he is aware, can similarly be supplied in the form of prepared flat sheets but which, for erecting and maintaining its final shape, does not necessitate the application of any fixing means and instead requires only appropriate manipulation of its various parts to obtain the desired result.
- This is achieved, as more fully explained later, by folding the side walls down onto those parts of the abovementioned flat sheet that are intended to act as the base and end walls, and attaching to the end walls only one part of the ends of the said side walls, while the remaining part, not being attached, can then be rotated relative to the end wall to which it is applied and to the side wall itself, of which it is a part, thus performing the function of a "hinge". Then the end walls, being folded into two halves so as to grip the said "hinges" between themselves, lock the assembly and, being attached to the base by their free edge, give the container its final shape without the need for further fixing means.
- The subject of the present invention is therefore a container for packaging use according to the appended
Claim 1. A preferred illustrative embodiment of the container of the invention will now be described in more detail, with reference also to the appended drawings, which show, in Figures 1 to 5, the various successive stages in the preparation of a container according to the invention, beginning with a preshaped flat sheet, indicated in broken lines in Figure 1, and ending with the finished container in Figure 5. In Figures 1 to 4 of the drawings, only half of the container is drawn, for obvious reasons of mirror symmetry. - Taking Figure 1 to begin with, this shows a
flat sheet 14 of packaging material that has been blanked and notched to produce the planar development of the desiredcontainer 1, and various prefolding lines z-z, t-t, v-v, n-n (also referred to hereinafter as fold lines) have been produced on this sheet. It can be observed that, in the vicinity of the fold lines z-z joining the area of thebase 2 of the container to the areas which will form theend walls 5, 6 (only one of which, indicated by thenumber 5, is visible in Figures 1 to 4), a throughcut 8 has been formed. Thiscut 8, the function of which will be described later, is L-shaped, one of its sides, marked S, being lined up with the said fold line z-z. - If the two
side walls flat sheet 14 that are to form thebase 2 and onto theend walls 5, 6 (as already stated, that marked 6 is visible in Figure 5 only), the result will be the situation shown in Figure 2, with the ends of eachside wall area 11, an equivalent underlying area of theend walls first part 11p of thisarea 11 which comprises a right-angled trapezium 7, on the minor base R of which lies arectangle 9 defined with respect to the rest of the side wall by the L-shaped cut 8 described earlier. Thisfirst part 11p is therefore stuck to the corresponding end wall and the latter, if the twoside walls second part 11s of the abovementioned area L of theside walls shaped cut 8, rotates simultaneously about an axis m-m (which is the line of demarcation between the first part with the adhesive and thesecond part 11s without the adhesive) and about a fold line n-n which was prepared earlier, and which connects it to the rest of the side wall at right angles to theflat base 2. - In other words the said
second part 11s rotates both with respect to the corresponding side wall and with respect to theend wall 5 to which the latter is stuck, performing the function of a "hinge" and folding flat against theend wall 5 when both the side wall and the end wall have rotated through 90° and become vertical, as shown in Figure 4. - As can be seen in the various drawings, that area of the
flat sheet 14 which, when rotated about the fold line z-z, forms anend wall 5, has a height H at least twice (and twice in the present case) the height h of theside walls halves halves second part 11s of thearea 11 of the ends of theside walls area 11s, which as stated acts as a hinge, is prevented from moving, theside walls end walls - To give reliable stability to the shape of the
container 1 all that is required, according to the inventor is to use known methods for attaching thefree edge 5b of thehalf 5n of theend wall 5 which is directed towards thebase 2 of thecontainer 1 to thisbase 2. This can be done for example by forming a number ofteeth 13i on the saidfree edge 5b which can be inserted intocorresponding slots 10i of complementary shape formed in theflat base 2, where they will remain locked. - The object set by the inventor has thus been achieved. Obviously, if the total height H of the said area intended to form an
end wall side walls
