Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a box formed of cardboard and having at least one closure panel which, after the box has been closed, presents improved resistance to fraudulent panel opening.
  • a lip projecting from the closure panel is separated from this panel by a folding line about which the lip can be rotated, to be then inserted into the box in contact with the inner surface of the front main panel of the box when this in its closed state, with the closure panel resting on two flaps projecting from the ends of the two side main panels of the box.
  • the edge of the profiled portion of the flap is spaced (within the closed box) from the adjacent inner surface of the front main panel of the box, to enable said lip to be freely inserted and slide between said inner surface of the main panel and the edge of the longitudinal profiled portion of the flap when the box is closed, to prevent the free edge of the lip from resting on the lateral portions of the flaps during box closure (which is achieved by automatic machines operating at high speed), to hence deform this lip.
  • the side edges of the closure panel are gripped by two fingers and pulled outwards from the box to cause the lip to emerge from the box and consequently open the box.
  • the closure panel becomes curved (by the effect of the traction exerted thereon by the two fingers of the hand), hence displacing the lip projecting from it towards the box interior and consequently causing the profiled portions of the box flaps to penetrate into the respective cuts in the lip folding line, so hindering opening of the box lid.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide a box, the closure panel of which presents improved resistance to any accidental or fraudulent opening stress.
  • a box formed from a single piece of punched and crease-line cardboard or the like comprising:
  • the sides of said flexible appendix 23 are defined by cuts and recesses 24 provided in that flap 11, 12 of which the appendix 23 forms part.
  • one of said recesses 24 of the flap 11, 12 extends from the longitudinal edge of the flap to the folding line 15, 17 separating it from the main panel 2, 4 with which it is rigid.
  • Figure 1 shows a plan view of a punched and crease-lined cardboard sheet comprising four main panels 1-4 and a secondary panel 5 projecting from the first main panel, these panels being consecutive and separated from each other by longitudinal folding lines (crease lines) 6-9.
  • a closure panel 10 projects from both ends of the panel 1, while flaps 11, 12 project from both ends of the two panels 2, 4, and a panel 13 projects from both ends of the panel 3.
  • the panels 10-13 are separated from the respective main panels 1-4 by transverse folding lines 14-17.
  • a lip 18 projects from the closure panel 10 and is separated from it by a transverse folding line 19, at each end of which a cut 20 is provided.
  • a thin strip of glue is applied along the free edge of the panels 13 (Figure 1), these panels 13 are folded about the respective folding lines 16 and are pressed against the respective panel 3, on which they become fixed by the glue ( Figure 2), a thin strip of glue 22 is applied in proximity to the free edge of the main panel 4, and the secondary panel 5 is turned onto the main panel 1 shown in Figure 2.
  • a fundamental characteristic of the present invention is that from that longitudinal edge of each of the flaps 11, 12 which is furthest from the closure panel 10 in the box when made up, there projects an elongate flexible appendix 23 the free end of which - when the box is made up and with the flaps closed ( Figures 4 and 8), i.e. folded towards the box interior - is substantially aligned with the folding lines 16 which separate the panels 13 from the panel 3, which means that the free edge of the appendices 23 grazes or is in light contact with the inner surface of the panels 13 which are fixed onto the inner surface of the main panel 3, with which they form a single piece.
  • the elongate flexible appendices 23 are defined by cuts and recesses provided in the flaps, in particular by a recess 24 provided in each flap at the folding line 15,17 which separates it from the main panel from which it projects.
  • each elongate appendix 23 are such that, when the box is closed ( Figures 6 and 8), they become inserted into the adjacent cut 20 provided in the folding line 19, so greatly increasing the resistance of the corresponding box closure panel to opening.
  • Figure 4 in which the box lid 10, 18 is open, whereas the flaps 11, 12 are folded towards the box interior, with the free edges of the appendices 23 very close to or in light contact with the adjacent (inner) surface of the panel 13.
  • the lip 18 cannot slide freely between the surface of the panel 13 and the free end of the appendices 23, so preventing the box lid from being able to be opened fraudulently using a thin blade inserted between the panel 10 and the flaps 11,12: in this respect, if those cuts, holes or knurlings represented in EP-B-0709293 , in U.S. 6,860,421B2 , in EP 1538090A and in many further patents were present in the panel and/or in the respective lip, the appendices would present a resistance to the upward movement of the lip 18, so causing partial or total detachment of this lip from the panel.
