Definitions

  • the invention relates to an improved transparent or translucent box for footwear, which allows seeing the footwear inside it, substantially improving the traditional format of the typical cardboard boxes, contributing many more advantages in the manufacture, handling and finishing of the box; control of the product within, storage and subsequent use given that once the merchandise is sold, the traditional box is usually thrown away without any apparent reuse in connection with the footwear, which, in this case, is particularly useful and practical for storing it given that the permanent view of the footwear makes locating it easy, without having to take the footwear out of the box.
  • Spanish Utility Model U 200000253 for a TRANSPARENT SHOE BOX dated February 04, 2000, and Community Industrial Design No. K 197 959 dated July 06, 2004 which disclose a box with a rectangular parallelepiped format consisting of a body and a cover fitted on the contour of the former and with a certain inner relief on said body for coupling of the footwear, but although this is a reinforcement of the structure it implies a complication in the moulding process and it dissipates the clarity of visibility of the footwear.
  • an appropriate structuring becomes necessary in order to assemble said box and prevent the deformation thereof when the weight of the footwear within it tends to deform the box, rather the body of the box, especially when the cover is removed, which cover in any case stiffens it to a certain extent.
  • a laminar die-cut template is arranged on the aforementioned transparent materials comprising on the one hand the pattern for the body and on the other hand that of the cover, provided with overlapping means on the edges or rims of the different sides, flanks and ends in alternative arrangements which, once folded along their respective folding creases, join said parts to one another to stiffen said two parts.
  • the invention also provides for reinforcing the free or open edges of said referred parts, in any of the different forms of the box, with a U-shaped profile rigid rib, preferably in stainless steel, which fits and closes on said edges occupying them almost completely, except for the corners of said parts in a small portion which is likewise reinforced.
  • the invention has angled corner protectors provided, also with a U-shaped profile, which have wedge-shaped underpinnings in the inner walls of said profile, in order to equally adjust and close on the edges of the corners of the body of the box and fit or embed said corner protectors against the edges of the ribs making said corner protectors impossible to disassemble, such that without altering the moulded box and, in a subsequent manufacturing stage, said reinforcements are assembled providing it with the necessary rigidity and without taking away the transparent character thereof given that said arrangement is in its case covered by the peripheral tab of the cover, which it also serves to tighten so that it does not open or fall by chance, camouflaging the reinforcement of the body and leaving, in any case, that of the cover visible.
  • the box is a fundamental function of the box the ability to see the footwear, providing advantages that the traditional box did not provide, improving its usefulness, possibly being of any transparent or translucent material made of plastic, polycarbonates, methacrylates, glass or others, their shapes, design, dimensions and the like being alterable depending on the market demands in relation to the purpose and specific features of the product it is intended for.
  • the presentation of the box format is considered in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped with a cover; with a box and removable drawer format; with a format of a box with a folding side cover; with an articulated traditional cover and with the respective parts reinforced in the manner described in the previous features.
  • a format is provided in which the cover and the box are provided with lateral handle means associated with corresponding closing means on the cover which allows closing by overlapping said cover, leaving openings in the box which serve as handles.
  • the footwear box (1) of the invention with the traditional cardboard box format used to this effect, manufactured in transparent or translucent materials which allow to see inside them, preferably ductile, malleable or rigid plastic materials of any type but which are tear-resistant, and in which in order to be suitably assembled so that they maintain structural rigidity and resistance, the body (2) is reinforced by means of a stainless steel rib (4) with an inverted U-shaped profile which is assembled on the open edges of the box body (2) and cover (3), except in the corners (5) (5A), respectively, closing upon them by means of a mechanical compressing or nipping action.
  • the corners (5), (5A) are equally covered by means of corner protectors (6) of angular shape (7) and an inverted U-shaped section (8) with wedge-shaped underpinnings (9) on the side walls to ensure the pressure of said part in the corners (5) (5A), and ribs (9A) which perform the underpinning against the inner edge of the rib (4) to prevent these from dislodging.
  • the box (1) is totally assembled and cannot be deformed, the transparent character of said box (1) being unaffected, such that the peripheral tab (10) of the cover (3) covers the reinforcement of the body (2) while at the same time acting as an adjustment for a suitable closing of said cover (3) on the body (2).
  • both parts (2) and (3) are preferably made from a transparent or translucent laminar sheet of little thickness in a plastic material (2A) and (3A) ( Figures 6 and 7), with the unfolded format of the body (2) and the cover (3) of the box (1) which is made up of, in each case, the base sector (20) (30) of two symmetrical sides (21) and (22); (31) and (32); two symmetrical ends (23) and (24); (33) and (34); alternatively provided with grooves (25), (35) and tongues (26) and (36) in each case on their respective vertical edges, which overlap to form the mentioned body (2) and cover (3).
  • the transparent box (1) of Figure 8 has a body (11), the development of which is shown in Figure 8A, in which the corresponding drawer (12) is housed which is extracted by sliding and which is equally reinforced by a rib (4) and corner protectors (6) and optionally has a loop (12A) to aid is extraction.
  • the transparent box (1) of Figure 9 is formed by a body (11) which on one of its sides has a folding cover (13), the development of which is shown in Figure 9A, that folds over an articulated edge (14) which equally has reinforcements (4) and (6) and optionally has a loop (12A) and handles (11A).
  • the transparent box (1) of Figure 10 has a body (11) and a cover (15) articulated by means of compass-type articulating members (16) in which, as in the previous case, the cover is always joined to the body of the box, which has a fastener (15A) over the anchor (15B) and equally has chest-like reinforcements (4) and (6).
  • the transparent box (1) of Figure 10 has a body (11) and a cover (19) which on two of its opposite sides has symmetrical die-cuttings providing a flap (17) which by simple deviation houses in as many grooves (18) die-cut on the box (11) in direct connection with the flaps (17) to allow, on the one hand, the hooked fastening thereof and, on the other hand, the option of holding the box by the openings, which show their respective developments in Figures 16 and 17 with equal identifications as in Figures 6 and 7.
