Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a box with tamper-proof lid formed from a single piece of punched and crease-lined cardboard or similar flexible material, of the type having at least one closure panel of high resistance to opening with at least one flap positioned below and in contact with said closure panel when this is closed with a tab projecting therefrom inserted into the box, said tab being folded from the panel about a folding line, the two ends of which present cuts into which said flaps extend to retain the tab in its closed position.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide a box similar to those described in the aforesaid prior patents, but which is effectively tamper-proof, in the sense that it cannot be opened without tearing a large part of the box lid.
  • a further object is to provide a box which is of low production cost and can be made up and closed in the manner of a common box of similar type.
  • a box with tamper-proof lid comprising
  • said continuous cut (16), the succession of short cuts (17) and the knurling (18) provided in the closure panel (10) extend along a substantially arc-shaped line.
  • C-shaped cuts are provided defining appendices (19) projecting from the adjacent closure panel (10) to leave free a corresponding window in the lip when this is folded about the respective folding line (14) which separates it from the closure panel (10), from the tabs (11) there laterally projecting a hook-shaped tooth (20) which when the box is closed projects through the window left free in the lip (13) by the adjacent appendix (19) to retain this lip inside the box.
  • the invention also relates to the sheet in the form of a single piece of punched and crease-lined cardboard or similar flexible material for forming a box having the aforesaid characteristics.
  • Figure 1 shows, spread out in plan view, a piece of punched, crease-lined and knurled cardboard comprising four main panels 1-4 and a flap 5 separated from each other by longitudinal parallel folding (crease) lines 6-9.
  • a closure panel 10 projects from each of the two ends of the panel 1, a tab 11 projecting from each end of the panels 2 and 4, the closure panels 10 and the tabs 11 being separated from the respective main panels by transverse folding lines, all indicated by the reference numeral 12.
  • each panel 10 there projects a lip 13 which is separated from the panel by a folding line 14 the two ends of which are both incised by a short cut 15, the width of each panel 10 between the folding lines 12 and 14 relative thereto being substantially equal to the width of the two main panels 2 and 4.
  • each of the two lips 13 there are provided two C-shaped cuts which define appendices 19 projecting outwards from the panel 10 when in its flattened position ( Figures 1-4).
  • the lips 13 are folded about the respective folding lines 14 (which occurs when the two ends or lids of the made-up box are closed as in Figure 5)
  • the appendices 19 remain coplanar with the relative panel 10 to leave free within the lips 3 windows into which hook-shaped teeth 20 ( Figures 1-3) projecting laterally one from each tab 11 are inserted and hooked.
  • those ends of the tabs 11 close to their folding lines 12 become inserted into the respective cuts 15 provided at the ends of the folding lines 14, to hence considerably obstruct the opening of the box lid.
  • the panel 1 is provided with a breakable knurling 21 and a semicircular aperture 22 defining an appendix 23 which can be gripped with two fingers of a hand and pulled outwards to break the panel 1 along said knurling: in this manner a lateral lid is obtained, rotatable about the folding line 6.
  • the new and characteristic part of the box according to the invention regards the structure of its end lids formed by the closure panel 10 and the lip 13 connected to and projecting from it.
  • a continuous arc-shaped elongate cut 16 is provided in the closure panel 10 to intersect the folding line 14 and extend beyond the line 14 into a portion of the lip 13: the cut 16 is continued beyond its ends by a succession of separate short cuts 17 terminating with a knurling 18 which reaches the side edges of the panel 10 ( Figure 4).
  • the box is made up by firstly rotating the panel 4 (and with it the flap 5) about the folding line 8 to superpose them on the panel 3, then a thin strip of glue 25 is applied to the flap 5 in proximity to the folding line 9 ( Figure 2), after which the panel 1 is rotated about its folding line 6 to superpose it on the flap 5, to which it is then fixed by the strip of glue 25 ( Figure 3).
  • the box manufacturer has thus terminated box production, piles of flat mutually superposed boxes ( Figure 3) then being despatched to the user firm which, by means of automatic machines of known type operating at high speed, shapes each box by firstly pressing the two opposing folding lines 6 and 9 towards each other (so that the box cross-section becomes rectangular), then automatically closes the bottom cover of the box, inserts into it the products to be contained, and finally closes the top cover.
  • the box hence assumes the shape shown in perspective view in Figure 5, in which the lip 13 (forming part of the box end lid visible in Figures 5 and 6) is inserted below the panel 3 and securely retained thereat by the tabs 11 (as already fully described in the aforesaid prior patents).
