Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a product display unit.
- The product display unit according to the present invention is particularly advantageously used as a display unit for food products, to which the description below makes specific reference, without thereby limiting the scope of the invention.
- For displaying food products, such as chocolates, sweets, etc. use is known of open box-shaped bodies, having one or more display compartments designed to hold the products and allow them to be taken out by the consumer.
- In general, such display units in the form of a box-shaped body are made from respective pre-shaped honeycomb cardboard or polypropylene blanks, which are first folded along pre-creased fold lines and then glued at their portions which overlap following folding.
- For example, document
DE 202 04 791 discloses a similar box for storage, distribution, transportation and display of products both on shelves and on the counter. - Another example of similar boxes is disclosed in document
DE 202 20 230 which shows a packing comprising a body and a cover which are removibily connected by a precreased line. This box is made of paper board. - The honeycomb polypropylene blanks are usually preferred to those made of cardboard because they are equally light and economical, but they allow the production of stronger, tougher display units.
- The display units produced as described above, whether obtained from honeycomb cardboard or polypropylene blanks, have several disadvantages. One of these is the fact that the edges of the honeycomb blanks are rather rigid and sharp, above all in the case of polypropylene, and some edges, after folding, form respective exposed edges or corners of the display unit, constituting a potential hazard for the consumer. Such exposed edges or corners of the display unit are also unattractive and tend to gather dust and dirt in the honeycomb structure of the blank, making them unhygienic.
- The aim of the present invention is to produce a product display unit which is free of the above-mentioned disadvantages.
- Accordingly, the present invention provides a product display unit with the characteristics described in claim 1 or in any of the claims directly or indirectly dependent on claim 1.
- The present invention is now described, by way of example and without limiting the scope of application, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

projections 20 are shaped to fit inrespective slots 21 in theblanks 8 and so that thewall 3 can be slotted into thewalls 7. - The
wall 3 is made from the blank 4 by folding theband 16 at a right angle to thepanel 13, along theline 15, and then folding thetabs 19 at a right angle to thepanel 13, along the lines 18 (Figure 3 ). - When the
tabs 19 have been folded, theprojections 17 are slotted intorespective slots 22 in thetabs 19, stabilising the position of theband 16 and thetabs 19 relative to one another. - The function of the
band 16 and thetabs 19 is to increase the stability of the relative position of thewall 3 and thewalls 7 once they have been slotted together using theprojections 20 and theslots 21. - The blank 4 has a central axis of
symmetry 35 which is at a right angle to theedge 14. - The blank 6 has a substantially
rectangular panel 23, delimited at the front by astraight edge 24 and at the back by a pre-creasedfold line 25, beyond which aband 26 extends. - The
band 26 is substantially trapezoidal, with the smaller base formed by theline 25, and is delimited at the sides by two edges shaped to formrespective projections 27. - The
panel 23 is delimited at the sides by two pre-creasedfold lines 28, beyond which there extend tworespective tabs 29. - Each
line 28 is interrupted in an intermediate portion, in particular central, by apanel 23projection 30. - The two
projections 30 are shaped to fit inrespective slots 31 in theblanks 8 and so that thewall 5 can be slotted into thewalls 7. - The
wall 5 is made from the blank 6 by folding theband 26 at a right angle to thepanel 23, along theline 25, and then folding thetabs 29 relative to thepanel 23, along the lines 28 (Figure 4 ). - When the
tabs 29 have been folded, theprojections 27 are slotted intorespective slots 32 in thetabs 29, stabilising the position of theband 26 and thetabs 29 relative to one another. - The function of the
band 26 and thetabs 29 is to increase the stability of the relative position of thewall 5 and thewalls 7 once they have been slotted together using theprojections 30 and theslots 31. - The blank 6 has a central axis of
symmetry 36 which is at a right angle to theedge 24. - The
blanks 8 have a substantially elliptical shape, with theslots central hole 33. Each blank 8 also has two of the fourfeet 34 on which the display unit 1 can rest stably on a supporting surface. - The blank 11 is a flat blank made of a thin sheet of plastic, preferably polypropylene. The thickness of the blank 11 is such that it is reasonably flexible and, at the same time, suitably strong.
- In an alternative embodiment, the blank 11 is a flat blank made of a thin sheet of cardboard.

lines rectangular slots 43, parallel with theaxis 39 and extending in the same direction as the axis. Theslots 43 are positioned symmetrically relative to theaxis 39 and are designed to be joined to therespective blanks 8 in such a way that two of the above-mentionedfeet 34 come out of each. - Beyond the
line 41 there extends a substantiallyrectangular band 44, delimited on the side opposite theline 41 by the above-mentionedend 38. - Beyond the
line 42 there extends ashaped panel 45, designed to be wrapped around theframe 2 starting from the base wall of the display unit 1 and delimited, on the side opposite theline 42, by the above-mentionedend 37. - On the
panel 45 there is a straightpre-creased fold line 46, which is parallel with and close to theline 42 and is interrupted at the centre by acut line 47. - Between the opposite transversal ends of the
line 46 there extends, on the side opposite theline 42, a firstU-shaped cut line 48, which delimits a substantiallyrectangular panel 49, and a secondU-shaped cut line 50, which surrounds theline 48. Thepanel 49 is designed to cover the upper face of thewall 5, to which thepanel 49 is fixed, using adhesive if necessary (Figure 4 ), whilst theline 50 is designed to form a front opening for the display unit 1. - In the substantially central portion of the
panel 45 there are tworectangular slots 51, parallel with theaxis 39 and extending in the same direction as the axis. Theslots 51 are positioned symmetrically relative to theaxis 39 and are designed to be joined to therespective blanks 8 in such a way that an upper portion of the relative blank 8 comes out of each (Figure 3 ). - It should be noticed that the
slots 51, like theslots 43, hold theframe 2 slotted in place once the blank 11 is tightly wrapped around the frame to form thecover 10. Specifically, once the blank 11 is tightly wrapped around theframe 2, theslots Figure 2 ). - At a substantially central intermediate position of the
slots 51, thepanel 45 has twotransversal cut lines line 52 is a straight line and is at a right angle to theaxis 39, whilst theline 53 is shaped to form twotrapezoidal projections 54. - From the transversal ends of the
line 52 there extend in a T-shape respectivestraight cut lines 55 parallel with theaxis 39. Eachline 55 is positioned between theaxis 39 and arespective slot 51, in a position near to theslot 51. - The longitudinal ends of the
lines 55 facing theline 50 are connected to one another by a straightpre-creased fold line 56 which, together with thelines 55 and theline 52, delimits apanel 57 designed to cover the upper face of thewall 3, to which thepanel 57 is fixed, using adhesive if necessary (Figure 3 ). - On the side opposite the
line 56, the longitudinal ends of thelines 55 are connected to one another by a straightpre-creased fold line 58 which, together with thelines 55 and theline 53, delimits apanel 59 designed to cover the surface of theband 16 facing the inside of the display unit 1 (Figure 3 ). - The
lines axis 39. - When the
band 16 has been covered, theprojections 54 are slotted intorespective cuts 60 made along the above-mentioned line 15 (Figure 5 ), stabilising the position of theband 16 and thepanel 59 relative to one another. - Between the
line 58 and theend 37 thepanel 45 has twobroken cut lines 61 extending in the longitudinal direction. - The longitudinal ends of the
lines 61 facing theline 58 are connected to one another by a straightpre-creased fold line 62 which, together with thelines 61 and acut line 63, delimits apanel 64 designed to cover part of the lower face of thewall 3, to which thepanel 64 is fixed, using adhesive if necessary. - The
lines axis 39. - The longitudinal ends of the
lines 61 facing theend 37 are connected to one another by a straightpre-creased fold line 65 which, together with thelines 61 and acut line 66, delimits apanel 67 designed to cover the surface of theband 26 facing the inside of the display unit 1 (Figure 4 ). - The
lines axis 39, and theline 66 is shaped to form twotrapezoidal projections 68. - When the
band 26 has been covered, theprojections 68 are slotted intorespective cuts 69 made along the above-mentioned line 25 (Figure 6 ), stabilising the position of theband 26 and thepanel 67 relative to one another. - In the middle of the
panel 67 there is apre-creased fold line 70 parallel with theline 65, in such a way that it can be folded substantially at a right angle relative to theline 70 after insertion of theprojections 68 in the cuts 69 (Figure 4 ). - The function of the
cover 10 is, on one hand, to cover at least part of theframe 2 so that it covers at least the most hazardous and/or exposed edges of theblanks 4, 6 and 8, and on the other hand to contribute to the structural stability of the display unit 1 without necessitating gluing operations for this purpose. The absence of portions of the display unit 1 which are glued together also means that the display unit 1 can be disassembled and/or recycled, partly due to the fact that theinterchangeable cover 10 can easily be substituted with a cover having a different shape and/or graphics. - In an alternative embodiment not illustrated, the
frame 2 is made from a single honeycomb cardboard or plastic blank. - In another alternative embodiment not illustrated, the
cover 10 is made from two or more blanks consisting of a sheet of cardboard or plastic.
