Definitions

  • This invention relates to a container, in particular a box of the type with collapsible walls.
  • Collapsible boxes of several kind comprise a bottom wall or base and a plurality of side walls mounted on the bottom wall and movable between an erect, containment position and a folded, rest position in which its size is reduced.
  • the need is also felt for a container or box with collapsible walls that is inexpensive to manufacture.
  • the trade also feels the need for a container or box with collapsible walls that can be quickly and easily assembled from its individual component parts.
  • This invention therefore provides a container, in particular a box of the type with collapsible walls, comprising a bottom wall and a plurality of side walls mounted on the bottom wall and movable between an erect, containment position and a folded, rest position, characterised in that at least one end side wall, when in the erect position, can be moved from an engaged containment position to a disengaged position in which it can be moved to the folded position.
  • the container in particular in the form of a box - having components made of moulded plastic - is particularly suitable for transporting fruit and vegetable products and is of the type with collapsible walls, that is to say, walls that can be folded so that the box, when empty, occupies a minimum of space and can be conveniently transported or stored.
  • the container, or box, 10 comprises a base, or bottom wall, 12 and a plurality of side walls comprising opposite pairs of walls, referred to herein as first and second end walls 14 and 16, each constituting a short side of the box, and first and second longitudinal walls, of which only one, labelled 18, is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, constituting the long sides of the box.
  • first and second end walls 14 and 16 each constituting a short side of the box
  • first and second longitudinal walls of which only one, labelled 18, is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, constituting the long sides of the box.
  • the side containment walls 14, 16 and 18 are mounted on the bottom wall, or base, 12 and are mobile, relative to the latter, between an erect position for containing the product, and a folded rest position in which the container itself can be transported or stored.
  • the base 12 comprises a wall, defining a substantially flat upper surface 12', and a plurality of supporting feet, or, more specifically, three feet 13 at each longitudinal side of the box, and short longitudinal protrusions in the form of short side walls 112, 112, comprising means for coupling to the longitudinal walls 18.
  • the short coupling walls 112 protrude upwardly from the product supporting surface 12' in the opposite direction to that in which the supporting feet 13 extend.
  • the invention contemplates the provision of a first and a second side end wall 14 and 16 which, when in the respective erect position, can advantageously be moved between a lowered position (shown in Figure 10), where each of these walls is engaged or locked, suitable for containing the product, and a raised position, where each of these walls is disengaged and free to move towards the folded, rest position, shown in Figure 11.
  • each of the end walls 14, 16 comprises a part, that defines an upper downwardly hook-shaped portion 20 which, as shown in Figure 1, is adapted for coupling to a respective upwardly extending protrusion 22 provided on the end 18a, 18b of the respective longitudinal wall 18.
  • the end walls 14 and 16 when the longitudinal walls 18 are in the open, or erect, condition, the end walls 14 and 16, also in the erect containment condition, can be coupled to the longitudinal walls by a downward movement from the raised position - allowing free rotation to the folded condition - to a lowered position in which the respective hooking element 20 engages a corresponding portion 22 provided at the curved end 18a, 18b of the respective longitudinal wall 18.
  • the hook-shaped portion 20 and the protrusion 22 can be disengaged by an upward movement of the end wall 14, 16 relative to the longitudinal walls 18.
  • each longitudinal wall 18 comprises at the bottom of it a plurality of protrusions 24, defining fork-like elements 26, designed to engage respective pins 28 at recesses 30 made in the side walls 112 of the base 12, thus constituting advantageous means for turning the longitudinal walls about the pins 28.
  • Means are also advantageously provided for turning the end wall of the container.
  • the means for turning the side wall of the container are designed to turn the side wall relative to the bottom wall 12, in particular, from the disengaged, erect position to the rest position or from the rest position to the erect position.
  • the means for turning the end wall of the container comprise respective pins 32, distributed along the end wall, and elongated slotted means 34, illustrated individually in Figure 9, into which the pin 32 is inserted in freely slidable manner in a vertical direction or according to the long side of the slot 34.
  • the pin 32 extends transversally at a bottom end of the mobile wall 16, and in particular, extends from corresponding opposite vertical walls, or faces, labelled 33, defining a respective recess 35 at the bottom of the mobile wall 16.
  • the slotted means 34 in turn comprise respective tabs 38, 40 which can be moved elastically towards and away from each other and which extend from the bottom wall 12 of the container with which they are associated at holes, labelled 42, open at the top.
  • these elastically spreading tabs 38, 40 comprise respective teeth 44, 46, which face outwards and which, in use, cooperate with corresponding bottom retaining surfaces 48, 50, at respective openings 42 made at the edge of the upper surface of the container base 12.
  • the slotted body 34 also has protruding tabs 38, 40 each having a respective enlarged portion which, as shown in the scaled-up view of Figure 15, extends towards the other tab.
  • These inwardly protruding portions of the tabs 38, 40 are labelled 38a and 40a and with their upper edge delimit the bottom of the respective slot 34'.
  • the moulded plastic components of the container can easily be assembled by snapping the tabs 38, 40 onto the respective pin 32 in such a way as to insert the pin 32 into the slot opening 34' between the tabs and then inserting the tabs 38, 40 into the respective opening 42 in such a way as to engage the outward facing teeth 44, 46 with the respective retaining surfaces 48, 50.
  • the elongated slot 34' extends vertically and is defined at the top by a curved end 34'a from which there extend opposing longitudinal sliding surfaces 34'b, 34'c for the pin 32 and, at the bottom, by the upper surfaces 34'd and 34'e of the aforementioned inner protrusions 38a, 40a.
  • Means 42, 54 are advantageously provided for guiding the mobile walls 14, 16 as they turn from the erect position to the lowered rest position and vice versa.
  • these means for guiding the turning movement of the mobile walls 14 and 16 comprise a curved surface 52, protruding downwardly from the respective mobile wall 14, 16, said curved surface being slidable against a corresponding surface 54, which protrudes upwardly from the bottom wall 12 and which is well illustrated in Figure 4.
  • the curved surface 52 for guiding the turning movement of the mobile walls 14, 16 is eccentric with respect to the rotation pin 32 and is adapted to define a larger diameter or distance at the pin 32, on the longitudinal extension of the pin 32, and a smaller diameter or width in the direction transversal to the pin 32.
  • a section of the outside profile of the cam-like surface 52 coincides, on the inside, with the outside profile of the respective wall 33, which delimits the recess 35 that houses the rotation pin 32, while on the outside, the cam-like surface 52 affords a substantially longitudinal, or vertical, surface 52b that is recessed with respect to the profile of the respective wall 33, in such a way that - when the wall 16 is erect, or vertical - the cam 52 can pass under the sliding protrusion 54, thereby allowing the wall 16 to move from the disengaged, free-turning upper position to the engaged lower position where it is locked to the bottom 12.
  • Means are advantageously provided for retaining the respective end walls 14, 16 in the erect lowered containment position.
  • These retaining means comprise a vertical wall 60 extending from the guide protrusion 54 and acting in conjunction with the corresponding longitudinal surface 52b of the cam-like protrusion 52.
  • the coupling pins 28 of the longitudinal walls 18 are located at a level above the level corresponding to the coupling area of the end walls 14, 16 so as to enable positioning above the latter in the folded condition of the container.
  • each end wall has lower transversal surfaces 116' between corresponding areas for the pin 32 and corresponding areas for the rotation surfaces 52, constituting means for abutting against the upper surface 37' of protrusions 37 made between the corresponding slot 34 insertion areas and the corresponding areas occupied by the guide protrusions 54, as well illustrated in Figure 4.
  • the longitudinal walls 18 can be opened by turning them about the rotation pins 28 from the lowered position, parallel to the bottom 12 of the container, to a position in which the walls 18 are positioned vertically, and the corresponding end walls 14, 16 then lifted in the direction opposite that described above, until the container walls are in the erect position shown in Figure 11 and then easily pushed down in order to engage the coupling element 20 of the respective end wall with the corresponding coupling portions 22 on the longitudinal walls 18 of the container.
  • the container according to the invention may be made in any desired size.
  • it may have a rectangular base 12 with the long side 1200 mm long and the short side 800 mm long, or the long side 800 mm long and the short side 600 mm, so that two smaller boxes placed on top of one another will exactly match the size of a larger box.
  • the boxes are thus very handy to transport.
  • the short collapsible walls of one size are interchangeable with the long collapsible walls of the other size. These walls are 800 mm long in both cases.
  • the same collapsible end walls can be used to make containers of different sizes.
