Abstract
A reinforced case box (1), of the type obtained by overlapping two monoblock laminated elements (10, 100), is capable of preventing undesired opening up and has an internal element (10) with a first extension (7) and a second extension (8), folded so as to lie interposed between it and an external wrapping (100), said first extension (7) being glued to the cover (5) of the case box and said second extension (8) being glued to the body of the case box (1) so that they, upon having separated the first extension (7) from the internal element (10), reciprocally interfere during the opening up and the closing of the cover (5) (Figure 14).
Description
- The present invention relates to a reinforced carton box, of the type obtained by overlapping two monoblock laminated elements, an external one, intended to form the wrapping of the case box and provided with an articulated cover obtained from the same external element, and the other one internal, intended to form a reinforcing element at the walls of the external wrapping.
- This kind of case boxes, box-shaped and generally made with carton laminates, is used to package products even quite different thereamong, therefore with variable dimensions.
- E.g., the case box may be used to contain a granulated product such as washing powder, even with large volumes and weights of about 3÷5 kg. In a small-sized version, the case box could be used to package cigarettes, sweets, pills, medicines, etc. In these fields, object of the reinforcing element is to strengthen the side walls of the case box, usually parallelepiped-shaped, with the cover occupying an end portion of the case box.
- In this type of case boxes, an accidental opening up of the cover, e.g. in case of fall of the case box, may lead to the shedding and therefore the loss of content. Therefore such an opening up should be prevented, yet without overly complicating the assembling of the case box.
- Moreover, often the intentional opening up of the cover entails no difficulty and therefore could be carried out by persons, such as children, unaware of content potentially hazardous to health.
- The technical problem underlying the present invention is that of providing a case box overcoming the drawbacks mentioned with reference to the known art.
- Such a problem is solved by a reinforced case box as above specified, characterised in that the internal element has at least one first extension and at least one second extension, integral to the internal element and articulated thereto at an edge thereof, which are folded so as to lie interposed between the internal element and the external element in correspondence of a line separating, in the external element, a portion intended to make said articulated cover, said first extension being glued to the cover portion and said second extension being glued to the external element or to the internal element so that they, upon having separated the first extension from the internal element, reciprocally interfere during the opening up and the closing of the cover.
- The main advantage of the case box according to the present invention lies in allowing an easy assembling and providing a system that prevents the accidental or unknowing opening up of the case box itself.
- The present invention will hereinafter be described according to a preferred embodiment thereof, together with some applications thereof, given by way of example and without limitative purposes with reference to the following examples and to the annexed drawings, wherein:
- * figure 1 shows a plan view of a monoblock laminated element, intended to form the external element and therefore the wrapping of a case box according to the invention;
- * figure 2 shows a plan view of a monoblock laminated element, intended to form the internal reinforcing element of a case box according to the invention;
- * figures 3 to 11 illustrate in perspective assembling steps of a case box according to the invention, with the laminated elements of figures 1 and 2;
- * figures 12 to 14 show perspective views of an embodiment of reinforced case box according to the invention obtained through the assembling steps of which in figures 3 to 11, illustrating the steps of opening up the case box itself; and
- * figure 15 shows a sectional view of a detail of the case box of the preceding figures, illustrating an opening step of the case box itself.
- Referring to figure 14, it is preliminarily described the exemplary embodiment of reinforced case box, generally denoted by 1, before illustrating more specifically all of its details.
- The case box 1 is parallelepiped-shaped, with an end or
bottom wall 2, four side walls of which twogreater ones 3, opposite and with a greater width, form the two front portions of the case box, whereas the other twosmaller ones 4, opposite and with a lesser width, operate as connections. - In a position opposite to the
bottom wall 2, the case box 1 comprises acover 5 that, in this embodiment, entirely occupies the end portion and is articulated to the body of the case box at an edge of one of thegreater walls 3. - In correspondence of the opposite
greater wall 3 and thecover 5, the case box 1 comprises interference means 6 comprising a pair of first interferingelements 7, connected to thecover 5 and substantially hook-shaped, and a second interferingelement 8, connected to thewall 3 of the case box 1 and operating as stop. - The first interfering
elements 7 are intended to be inserted into a slot 9 formed by the approaching of saidgreater wall 3, as part of the external wrapping of the case box 1, and of an internal reinforcingelement 10. The second interferingelement 8 is instead interposed between thegreater wall 3 and the reinforcing element, it being connected to thegreater wall 3. - Therefore, the first and second interfering
elements cover 5, when the first interferingelements 7 are completely inserted into said slot 9 in a stopping position with respect to thesecond element 8. - The
walls cover 5 of the case box 1, forming the external wrapping thereof, are made up, by folding and gluing steps, of a plane monoblock laminated element, of paper material and in particular carton with a face suitable for being printed, hereinafter referred to asexternal element 100, shown in figure 1. - The
external element 100 is formed by four rectangular panels, denoted by 101, 102, 103 and 104, respectively, arranged in sequence and separated by respective transversalcentral creasing - At the bottom edge of the
external element 100 there arebottom flaps 108 andbottom tabs 109, respectively articulated to thegreater panels smaller panels - The bottom flaps and
tabs bottom wall 2. - Likewise, at the top edge of the
external element 100 there aretop flaps 111 andtop tabs 112, respectively articulated to thegreater panels smaller panels - The top flaps and
tabs cover 5. - The
external element 100 comprises, at a side edge thereof, afastening flap 114 articulated on a transversal side creasing 115. - Near to the
longitudinal top creasing 113, theexternal element 100 has aseparation line 116 extending parallelly thereto. - In this embodiment, the
separation line 116 is obtained by associating, e.g. gluing it according to a conventional technology, a thread or a thin strip of resisting material. The thread could also be buried into the thickness of theexternal element 100. One end of the thread, not shown, is contained into agrip tang 117 arranged at theside edge 118 of theexternal element 100 opposed to thefastening flap 114. - For convenience's sake, as shown in figure 1, the strip could also be laid continuously and without interruptions, over the entire longitudinal extension of the
external element 100. - At the first
greater panel 101, the one to which thefastening flap 114 is articulated, said strip, corresponding to thecontinuous separation line 116, is interrupted with respective notches arranged near the respectivetransversal creasing external element 100. Thus, by pulling thetang 117, the separation of theexternal element 100 is effected only at the fourth, third andsecond panel first panel 101, at the first opening up of the cover, it is formed a longitudinalcentral creasing 119 corresponding to the portion of separation strip punched by the notches. - Hence, prior of said deposition, at the laying of said strip it is possible to define a facilitated folder line, always continuously onto the longitudinal extension of the
external element 100, which will be active only at said portion. - Said creasing 119 forms the articulation between
cover 5 and body of the case box 1. - Said
separation line 116 could also be made otherwise, e.g., by a nicking, a notching with total detachment of the portion thus defined and intended to form thecover 5, or a preferential tearing line. - Referring to figure 2, the
internal reinforcing element 10 is a plane monoblock laminatedelement 10, made of carton of a reinforcing type, formed by four rectangular panels, denoted by 11, 12, 13 and 14, respectively, arranged in sequence and separated by respective transversalcentral creasing 15, corresponding to the drawn-near long side of each panel. They are subdivided into greater 11, 13 and smaller 12 and 14 panels, respectively intended to be overlapped to the greater 3 and smaller 4 walls of the case box 1. - At a side edge thereof, the
internal element 10 comprises afastening flap 16 articulated on a transversal side creasing 17. - The height of the
panels corresponding panels external element 100. Also the widths of the respective panels are equal, so as to obtain, by overlapping the twoelements central creasing - A greater panel, denoted by 13, of the
internal element 10 has, in correspondence and at the centre of thetop edge 18, at least onefirst extension 7 and at least onesecond extension 8, integral to theinternal element 10 and articulated thereto at saidtop edge 18. - In the present embodiment, the first extensions are two and correspond to said first interfering
elements 7, whereas the second extension corresponds to said second interferingelement 8. For this reason, their number references are the same. - The
second extension 8 is articulated onto the reinforcingelement 10 by acreasing 19 corresponding to saidtop edge 18. The former is symmetrical with respect to a transversal central axis and has a pair of stoppingedges 20 separated by acentral extension 27. - The distance between
stopping edges 20 and creasing 19 is substantially equal to the distance lying, in theexternal element 100, betweenseparation line 116 and longitudinal top creasing 113, for the reason that will be explained hereinafter. Optionally, the distance betweenstopping edges 20 and creasing 19 may be slightly greater than the distance, in theexternal element 100, betweenseparation line 116 and longitudinaltop creasing 113. - The
first extensions 7 are substantially hook-shaped, havingrespective hooking edges 21 corresponding to saidstopping edges 20. - The
extensions 7 are articulated onto the reinforcing element atadditional separation lines 22, parallel to thetop edge 18 yet slightly staggered with respect to thecreasing 19 of thesecond extension 8, such as to be traced into the reinforcingelement 10. - These
additional separation lines 22 operate also as creasing and, in the present embodiment, are formed bypreferential tearing lines 22 made by a sequence of through notches. - Referring to figures 3 to 11, hereinafter there will be described the manufacturing steps of the case box 1, starting from the
external element 100 and theinternal reinforcing element 10. - Onto the face of the
external element 100 intended to receive in overlapping theinternal element 10, glue depositions are carried out, in particular onto the firstgreater panel 101, onto the firstsmaller panel 102 and also on the secondgreater panel 103, which contains theseparation line 116, with glue points arranged above theseparation line 116, then onto the portion intended to form thecover 5, and onto the body of the secondgreater panel 103, below the separation line 116 (figure 3). - The glue depositions are carried out according to conventional modes.
- The glue points below the
separation line 116 are preferably a singlewall glue point 23, whereas the glue points thereabove are a pair ofcover glue points 24. - The overlapping will be such that the
longitudinal top creasing 113 of theexternal element 100 overlaps thetop edge 18 of theinternal element 10, and that the transversal creasing of the two elements overlap therebetween. - Prior of carrying out said overlapping, the
extensions internal element 10 intended to contact theexternal element 100, so that, once the overlapping is carried out (figure 5) saidextensions internal element 10 and theexternal element 100 at a separation line, i.e. the line separating, in theexternal element 100, a portion intended to form saidarticulated cover 5. - The distance between the
top edge 18 of theinternal element 10 and theseparation lines 22 of thefirst extensions 7 causes, once the folding of theextensions edge 20 and thehooking edge 21. - As it is apparent from figures 3 to 5, the
glue points greater panel 103 are positioned so that the first andsecond extensions - Thus, said
first extensions 7 glue to the portion of thecover 5 and saidsecond extension 8 glues to the body of theexternal element 100 at the panel intended to form the front wall (figure 5). - Upon carrying out the overlapping, the making up of the case box 1 occurs substantially conventionally: onto the fastening flaps 114 and 16 of the external 100 and internal 10 elements there are carried out
adequate glue depositions 25, 26 (figure 6) and then the two elements are folded (figure 7) so that said flaps 116, 14 be adhered to theopposite panels 104, 14 (figure 8) thereby forming theside walls - Subsequently, the bottom flaps and
tabs tabs bottom wall 2 and thecover 5 of the case box 1 (figure 11), that thereby is completely formed. - It is understood that the step of filling the case box 1 is omitted from the illustration; said step will occur entirely conventionally thanks to an intermediate step.
- Having disclosed the making up of the case box 1, it may be observed that the
extensions external element 100 so that they, upon having separated thefirst extension 7 from theinternal element 10, reciprocally interfere during the opening up and the closing of thecover 5 of the case box 1. - In fact, to open up the case box 1 it suffices to act onto the
separation line 116; this will cause the physical separation of thecover 5 from the body of the case box 1 (figure 12). However, the opening up of thecover 5 will be prevented by the interference between theextensions - In order to carry out the opening up, it will suffice to press onto the front wall of the case box 1 where the extensions are positioned: thus the stopping
edges 20 are pushed inwards, freeing the hooking edges of thefirst extensions 7. The distance between stoppingedges 20 and hookingedges 21 facilitates this reciprocal displacement that otherwise could be hindered by their interference. - Moreover, on occasion of the first opening up, this pressing will allow, by acting on the
separation lines 22, to detach thefirst extensions 7 from theinternal element 10. - All this will allow to open up the
cover 5. To close it again, it will suffice to insert thefirst extensions 7 into the slot 9 made by the approaching ofinternal element 10 andexternal element 100 therebetween: the hookingedges 21 will reposition below the stoppingedges 20, remaining blocked. To open it up again, it will suffice to operate as disclosed in the foregoing. - It is understood that the shape and number of the extensions linked to the cover and/or body of the case box are variable. Moreover, the
second extension 8 could be glued also to theinternal element 10, by suitably positioning a glue point on the sense of thesecond extension 8. - In addition, with respect to the depiction in figure 2, the
extensions top edge 18, so as to glue theelement 8 onto thecover 5 without folding it and therefore without folding the twoadditional elements 7, so that the blocking system works in the same manner, albeit mirror-like, and with a reduced carton consumption, the two interfering elements being comprised in the height of the reinforcingelement 10. - Finally, it is understood that the present invention could be made with a case box even different from the parallelepiped-shaped one. Moreover, the cover could only partially occupy one wall of the case box, or even be transversal to two or three of them.
- To the above-described reinforced case box a person skilled in the art, in order to satisfy further and contingent needs, could effect several further modifications and variants, all however encompassed within the protective scope of the present invention, as defined by the appended claims.
Claims (13)
