Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a box formed from a single piece of punched crease-lined and knurled cardboard (or similar material) for containing glass vials or the like, the box comprising appendices with which the neck of a vial can be reliably gripped and retained when the vial is opened by cutting or breaking off its neck (WO 01/64 530).
  • the main object of the present invention is therefore to provide a box able to contain glass vials or the like, the box being formed from a single piece of cardboard having some of its portions shaped as appendices which can be individually removed and used by an operator to grip with two fingers of the hand the neck of each vial when being broken off, so preventing danger of damage or injury to the operator.
  • Another object is to locate these appendices such that they are protected inside the box when closed, but can be easily withdrawn from the box when one of the appendices is to be used.
  • a further object is to provide a box of low production cost which enables the vials and possible illustrative leaflets to be inserted into it with the same machines and in the same manner used on boxes of known traditional structure.
  • a box comprising:
  • a projection (21) defined by a cut (22) provided in the first main panel (1) extends from that side of the lateral lid (20) opposite the folding line (7) which joins the lid to the adjacent main panel (2) of the box, there being provided in the secondary panel (13) a cut defining a slot (23) into which said projection (21) can be inserted and is retained to maintain the box closed after opening the lateral lid (20) by breaking the knurling (19) bounding the lid.
  • the invention also relates to the single punched, crease-lined and knurled sheet of cardboard or similar flexible material for forming a box having the aforesaid characteristics.
  • closure panels 10 project from the two opposing ends of the panel 1, while tabs 11 project from the ends of the panels 2 and 4; the closure panels 10 and the tabs 11 are separated from the respective main panels by transverse folding (crease) lines 12, perpendicular to the longitudinal folding lines 6-9.
  • the cardboard sheet described up to this point (and consequently the box obtainable from it) is of known type and is, in particular, totally similar to that of the box illustrated in EP-B-0709293 and EP-A-1340684, From the main panel 4 there projects a secondary panel 13 which is separated from it by a folding line 14 also parallel to the longitudinal folding lines 6-9.
  • a glue strip (30) is firstly applied to the panel 1 in proximity to the crease line 6, then the flap 5 is rotated about the longitudinal folding line 6 to superpose the flap and the elongate appendices 15 onto the surface (to face the interior of the finished box) of the main panel 1, on which the flap 5 is fixed by the glue 30 ( Figure 2).
  • the main panel 4 (and with it the secondary panel 13) is rotated about the longitudinal folding line 9 to superpose them both on the panel 3, a glue strip 40 then being applied to the flap 5 ( Figure 3).
  • the panel 1 (and with it the flap 5 and appendices 15) is then rotated about the longitudinal folding line 7 ( Figure 4) to glue the flap 5 to the secondary panel 13 such that the folding line 6 is very close to (virtually superposed on) the folding line 14; in this manner the appendices 15 become positioned between the main panels 1 and 2, with the secondary panel 13 within the interior of the box, the formation of which by its manufacturer is hence terminated.
  • Packs of flattened boxes as in Figure 4, in which the boxes are superposed on each other to form a pack are despatched to the user firm which, by means of commonly used automatic machines of known type, gives the boxes their final shape to receive the products to be contained therein.
  • the machines press against the opposing folding lines 7 and 9 ( Figure 4) to urge them towards each other so that the box assumes a parallelepiped shape, then rotate and close the tabs 11 and closure panel 10 provided at one end of the box, after which they insert the vials (housed in appropriate containers of any known type) together with any illustrative leaflets (not shown in the drawings) into the box, and finally close the tabs 11 and panel 10 provided at the other end of the box, which is hence completed.
  • a breakable knurling 19 defining a lateral lid 20 which (after breakage of the knurling 19) can be rotated about the longitudinal folding line 7, there extending from the lateral lid 20 (from the side opposite the folding line 7) a projection defined by a cut 22 provided in the panel 1.
  • a cut 22 provided in the panel 1.
  • the secondary panel 13 there is also provided a cut, defining a slot 23 of dimensions such as to enable the projection 21 of the lateral lid 20 to be inserted into it.
  • the lateral lid 20 will lie facing the box exterior.
  • the user lifts the projection 21 away from the cut 22 and pulls it outwards from the box, causing the knurling 19 to break and the lateral lid 20 together with the panel 2 to rise outwards (with reference to Figure 5): in this manner the vials can be extracted from the box, with the appendices 15 (resting on the secondary panel 13) remaining uncovered and accessible from the box exterior.
  • each appendix 15 can then be used by passing through its hole 18 the neck 50 projecting from the body 51 of a vial ( Figure 7), after which the appendix can be folded back on itself to enable the user to grip the vial neck 50 ( Figure 7) with two fingers and break it away from the body 51, so avoiding any danger of the sharp edges of the vial glass being able to injure the user's fingers.
  • the box can be easily reclosed by sliding the lateral lid 20 below the secondary panel 13 until the projection 21 of the lateral lid 20 has entered the slot 23 in the secondary panel 13, hence ensuring that the box is maintained in its closed position ( Figure 6); alternatively, if desired, the lateral lid 20 can be superposed on the secondary panel 13, then care being taken to insert the projection 21 into the slot 23 to maintain the box closed.
