Definitions
- the present invention relates to a paperboard container which can be used for packaging and displaying products, particularly confectionery products or the like.
- the object of the invention is to provide a container having a supporting and protecting function for the product or article packaged in it, while also being capable of displaying the said product or article to consumers, by enabling its surface characteristics to be revealed.
- the invention proposes a paperboard container of the aforementioned type, which can be produced from a sheet of card or similar sheet material, shaped and folded along scored lines, and having the characteristics defined in Claim 1.
- two or more of the diagonal supporting walls are formed from a first supporting wall element and from a second auxiliary element, these elements being made in one piece and being pivotable along a scored line.
- a container according to the invention indicated as a whole by the numeral 1, has a prismatic configuration with a base wall 4 and a top wall 2 acting as a lid, having a generally quadrangular or polygonal shape with at least four corners.
- a lateral wall 6 which can optionally be provided with an aperture or window (shown in broken lines and indicated by the reference numeral 200 in the development of Fig. 3) and four vertical supporting walls 14a, 14b, 12a, and 12b in pairs, aligned along diagonal lines which link opposite vertices of the base wall 4.
- they have, towards the interior of the container, shaped profiles 102, 104, 106 and 108, whose configuration is designed to be at least partly complementary to meridian lines of the outer surface of the article which is to be supported and displayed by the container.
- the container is particularly suitable for supporting an article of generally spherical or ovoid shape, and therefore the aforesaid profiles of the supporting walls are preferably shaped in the form of arcs of a circle or semi-ovoid curved lines respectively.
- the article is thus supported along meridian lines of its body by the inner profiles of the supporting walls.
- the aforesaid inner profiles of the supporting walls are defined in such a way that the article is supported in a raised position with respect to the base wall 4 and/or in a lowered position with respect to the lid wall 2; however, it is possible for the said inner profiles to act only as a lateral supports of the article and not as vertical supports, so that the article can bear on the base wall.
- the container of Fig. 1 can be produced from a sheet of card or similar sheet material, having the development shown in Fig. 2, which makes clear the further constructional characteristics described below.
- Fig. 2 shows a central region delimited by two main scored lines, parallel to each other and formed in one case by the segments 114, 116, 118, 120 and 122 and in the other case by the segments 124, 126, 128, 130 and 132.
- cut lines 134 and 136 and scored lines 138 and 140 delimit the areas of the base wall 4, the lid wall 2, a portion of lid wall 8, the lateral wall 6 and the auxiliary supporting walls 10a and 10b.
- Flap regions are provided on opposite sides of the said central region, and include, on the left-hand side of the development, the flap regions 20a and 22a, separated by a scored line 150, adjacent to the lid wall 2 and the supporting wall 12a, the regions 24a, 26a and 28a, separated by scored lines 152 and 154, adjacent to the base wall 4, the supporting wall 14a, adjacent to the lateral wall region 6 , and the flap regions 30a and 32a, separated by a scored line 156, adjacent to the portion of lid wall 8.
- the flap region on the right-hand side of the development is a mirror image of the flap region on the left-hand side, and therefore corresponding regions and corresponding scored lines are indicated here by the same reference numerals, followed by the letter b.
- the regions indicated by 10a and 10b are separated by cut lines 160 and 162 (indicated by broken lines in Fig. 2) and have, respectively, an inner profile 102a, substantially matching the profile 102 of the supporting wall 12a, and an inner profile 104b, substantially matching the profile 104 of the supporting wall 12b.
- the aforesaid profiles 102a and 102b form an aperture 202.
- the numerals 204 and 206 indicate triangular apertures adjacent to the wall regions 10a and 10b.
- the aforesaid wall regions 10a and 10b act as auxiliary supporting walls, being intended to be positioned on top of, and fixed by adhesion to, the supporting walls 12a and 12b respectively.
- the reference numerals 208 indicate small triangular apertures for facilitating the folding of the flap regions adjacent to them along the respective scored lines.
- the numeral 40 indicates a tab of the lid wall 2, which can be inserted into a cut-out 42 in the scored line 140 to close the container.
- the lateral flap regions are folded along the longitudinal scored lines 114 to 122 and 124 to 132 respectively, and turned through 180° to lie on top of the central region.
- the flap regions 20a and 20b are fixed, preferably by gluing, to the regions of the lid wall 2 on which they are superimposed.
- the flap regions 26a and 26b are fixed by gluing to the base wall 4 and the flap regions 32a and 32b are fixed by gluing to the terminal lid wall portion 8.
- the auxiliary supporting walls 10a and 10b are also fixed by gluing to the supporting walls 12a and 12b respectively.
- the vertical assembly is then carried out by folding along the further transverse and oblique scored lines mentioned above.
- the flap regions 24a and 24b are also turned through 180° along the scored lines 152 and 152b and superimposed on surface portions of the flap regions 26a and 26b.
- the'flap regions 28a and 28b are turned through 180° and superimposed on surface portions of the flap regions 26a and 26b.
- the flap regions 20a and 22a, folded along the scored line 150, and the flap regions 20b and 22b, folded along the scored line 105b, are superimposed on each other.
- a similar operation is carried out in relation to the flap regions 30a and 30b, which are superimposed on the corresponding regions of the portion of wall 8.
- the supporting walls 14a and 14b are placed orthogonally with respect to the base wall 4, along diagonal lines, and thus the supporting walls 12a and 12b, fixed by adhesion to the auxiliary supporting walls 10a and 10b respectively, are also placed in the vertical position along diagonal lines.
- the strength of the container can be enhanced by providing further adhesion between superimposed walls and/or those in contact with each other.
- the container can be closed in a stable configuration by inserting the tab 40 into the corresponding cut-out 42.
- the assembled container thus takes the form of a right prism (Fig. 1) , with a base wall 4 defined by the scored lines 118, 128 and 138 and by cut lines 164 and 166.
- the two consecutive supporting walls formed by the superimposition and bonding (by gluing for example) of the walls 10a, 12a and 10b, 12b respectively, thus have twice the thickness of the other supporting walls 14a, 14b and the lateral wall 6, and give the container adequate structural resistance to the vertical load generated by the article which is to be supported and displayed.
- Fig. 3 differs from that of Fig. 2 in that it has, in addition to the lateral wall 6 optionally provided with an aperture 200, a second lateral wall 10, preferably provided with a central aperture 210, while the apertures 204 and 206 are absent.
- the lines 134 and 136 are scored lines instead of cut lines.
- the supporting walls which in the assembled container extend along diagonal lines which link opposite corners of the quadrangular base wall 4, consist of the flap regions 12a, 12b, 14a and 14b, adjacent to the lateral walls 10 and 6 respectively.
- the invention thus provides a paperboard container which can be produced by simple operations, which can be automated, of punching from a sheet of card and gluing, the container being able to meet the aesthetic and structural requirements for the support and display of articles of various shapes, particularly of confectionery products.
- the aforesaid confectionery product preferably consists of a spherical, spheroidal or ovoid body, made for example from chocolate or similar confectionery material, housed in a hollow casing or shell, preferably made from thermoformed plastics material, which has a cavity formed within it whose shape is preferably complementary to the body of the confectionery product.
- the said casing can be formed, for example, from two shaped half-shells, preferably transparent or translucent, which can be joined rim to rim. These half-shells are preferably hinged together with an integral film hinge along a portion of their rim profile, and are provided at the opposite side to the hinge area with coupling means, preferably of the mutually interlocking type, to enable the casing to be closed and opened.
- shaped elements can be provided, on the walls of the paperboard container, these elements being delimited by a profile which is pre-cut in sections, for example as indicated by T1, T2 and T3 in Fig. 2, and being usable by the consumer to form a decoration in conjunction with the said casing.
- the element T3 can be shaped in the form of 'an attaching element, whose arms B1 and B2 are intended to be inserted, after the confectionery product has been removed from the casing, between the two half-shells and to be locked inside the casing when it is closed by the use of the said means for engaging the two half-shells, leaving a pierced flap B3 outside the casing and thus enabling the casing to be suspended, on a Christmas tree for example.
- the shaped elements T2 and T3 can be associated with each other to form a decoration, for example a Christmas tree, which can be inserted into the transparent casing and connected, if required, to an attaching element of the element T3.
- a decoration for example a Christmas tree
- the base wall which in the assembled configuration of the container shown in Fig. 1 has a pentagonal shape, can have a polygonal shape with four or more than five sides, for example a star shape formed, for example, by making appropriate cuts.
- each of the four lateral supporting walls 12a, 12b, 14a and 14b which are aligned in pairs along diagonal lines, can consist of a double-thickness wall formed by the superimposition and gluing of a first supporting wall element and a second auxiliary supporting wall element made of one piece.
- this result can be achieved by using a configuration similar to that of the wall 10 and 2 for the wall 6 and 8.
