Definitions
- the present invention relates to a box formed from a single piece of punched and crease-lined cardboard sheet for containing loose tablets and the like, and for enabling the release or discharge of only one tablet at a time.
- Loose tablets (the term “tablets” means tablets of any type, having medical or cosmetic properties, sweets, sugar-coated almonds and the like) are often contained and preserved in boxes from which they can be withdrawn by opening a lid of the box, inserting the fingers of a hand into the box and taking one or more tablets therefrom: this system evidently involves inevitably touching a certain number of tablets with the fingers, this being hardly advisable from the hygienic aspect.
- Boxes are also known having a lid or aperture (provided with a closure element) through which several tablets can be made to fall into the palm of a hand and those unused be returned into the box.
- the present invention has several objects.
- One object is to form, from a single piece of punched and crease-lined cardboard sheet (or similar sheet material), a box which is finished in all its component parts, by using automatic machines operating at high speed such that the box production cost is very low.
- Another object is to form a box in which tablets can be contained and protected, to be released in a controlled manner (a single tablet at a time) by simply moving with the finger of one hand a movable panel forming part of the box and having a hole which can be moved and superposed on an aperture provided in an end wall of the box, below which this movable panel can be slid. In this manner those tablets which are not used remain enclosed and protected within the box and are not touched by the user.
- a box formed from a single piece of punched and crease-lined cardboard sheet and defined by main lateral walls and by two end walls, in one of which an aperture having greater dimensions than said tablets is provided, characterised in that below and in contact with that end wall in which said aperture is provided there is a first panel provided with a hole also having greater dimensions than the tablets, said panel being bounded laterally by two cuts provided in a cardboard piece which projects from one of the box main panels, these cuts separating two lateral strips, which are glued onto the adjacent surface of the end wall, from a first panel central portion which can be moved between a box closure position, in which the panel hole is covered and closed by the overlying adjacent end wall of the box, and a tablet release position, in which the panel hole and the box end wall aperture are mutually superposed to enable one tablet to leave the box at a time, the lateral cuts bounding the central portion of the movable panel extending into the adjacent lateral wall of the box from which this first panel extends.
- the first panel lying below said end wall prolongs into the box to form a second and a third panel portion which are successive, the second portion being folded below the first panel and the third portion being folded relative to the second portion such as to be in contact with the inner surface of that box main wall in which the cuts extending from the first panel are provided, in the second portion of the supplementary panel a hole being provided having greater dimensions than the hole provided in the first panel, the movable portion of the first panel and the second portion of the panel being connected and joined together by a central tab bounded laterally by cuts which extend from the cuts bounding the central portion of the first panel.
- the cuts provided in said box lateral wall and extending from the lateral cuts bounding the central portion of the movable panel each consist of at least two consecutive cut portions separated from each other by an easy tear-off portion of said lateral wall to form a guarantee seal.
- the longitudinal and transverse dimensions of said first panel are substantially equal to those of the second panel portion adjacent to it on that side inside the box, the hole provided in the first panel being at least partially obstructed by the second panel portion when in those conditions in which the hole in the central portion of the first panel is obstructed by the adjacent end wall of the box, said aperture of said box end wall being bounded by a recess in the free edge of the wall.
- Figure 1 shows, extended and flat, a piece of punched, crease-lined and knurled cardboard sheet comprising four main paneis1-4 and a lateral wall 5, these being separated from each other by parallel crease-lines 6-9.
- Flaps 11-13 extend from the lower ends of the walls 1-4 and are separated from the respective main walls by mutually aligned crease-lines 14-17 perpendicular to the lines 6-9.
- an elongated lateral panel 18 (separated from the wall 1 by a crease-line 19), two flaps 20 and 21 and a profiled flap 22 which are separated from the respective main panels 2-4 by mutually aligned crease-lines 23-25 perpendicular to the crease-lines 6-9.
- the elongated lateral panel 18 is divided by crease-lines 26 and 27 into a first, a second and respectively a third panel portion indicated by the numbers 28, 29 and 30 respectively: the width of the elongated panel 18 is substantially equal to the width of the profiled flap 22 the length of which is substantially equal to that of the first and of the second panel portion 28 and 29.
- an aperture 31 is provided bounded by a recess in the free edge of the wall; a hole 32 being provided in the elongated panel first portion 28; a hole 33 of greater dimensions than the hole 32 and of the aperture 31 being provided in the second panel portion 29, these two latter (32, 31) having dimensions greater than the dimensions of the tablets which are to be contained in the finished box and to be released to the outside by passing through these holes and aperture.
- the hole 32 of the central portion 42 of the panel 18 is closed on the outside by the flap 22 (the recess 31 of which is not superposed on the hole 32) and is also partially closed on its inside by the second flap portion 29, then the box user firm - using common machines of known type used for similar purposes - is able to insert the required quantity of loose tablets through the still open end of the box, i.e. the opposite end to that just described; after this the box end is automatically closed by folding the flaps 11-13 towards the box interior and gluing one onto the other.
- the closed box hence assumes the appearance shown in perspective view in Figure 9 , a partial longitudinal section through which (taken on the lines 11-11 of Figure 9 ) is shown in Figure 11 .
- the hole 32 provided in this central portion is positioned below, and corresponding with, the aperture of the recess 31 of the flap 22, while the central tab 50 causes the second portion 29 of the elongated panel 18 to bend inwards: as a result, the second panel portion 29 withdraws from the first panel portion 28, causing the hole 33 to move away and pass below the hole 41 so that, by inclining the box holes downwards, a single tablet can be made to fall out of the box at a time.
- the panel portion 42 is returned into its original rest position (which is facilitated by the disposition of the panel 18 folded into the box interior and acting as a return spring) the box returns to its closed position in which the tablets cannot emerge from the box and are protected within it.
- Figure 13 shows a piece of punched and crease-lined cardboard in which the same reference numerals (followed by the letter A) are used to indicate similar structural parts to those of Figures from 1 to 12: the various folding steps will not be described in detail, as these are obvious in the light of the preceding description.
- FIG. 13-16 The box version of Figures 13-16 differs little from that of the other Figures. It is merely to be noted that two supplementary walls 100, 101 project from the wall 5A (which is wider than the wall 5 of Figure 1 ) and are divided from each other by crease-lines parallel to those which separate the box walls from1A to 5A. It can be seen that the wall 100 is provided with a semicircular knurl 102 defining a removable portion 103 of the wall 100 in which a window 104 is provided.
- the elongated flap 18A is firstly folded onto itself (in the aforedescribed manner), then the wall 4A is folded about the crease-line 8A and a glue layer applied to the upwardly facing surface of the wall 4A, then the walls 2A and 3A are rotated about the crease-line 6A, fixing (by the glue applied to it) the wall 4A onto the wall 5A ( Figure 14 ): in this manner a structure is obtained which is totally similar to that initially described in the present text, and will therefore not be further described.
- a glue strip 106 is then applied to the wall 101 and a leaflet 105 illustrating the characteristics of the product to be contained in the box is rested on the upwardly facing surface of the wall 103 ( Figure 14 ).
- the two walls 100, 101 are rotated about the crease-line 9A, fixing the wall 101 onto the wall 2A by the glue strip 106 as shown in Figure 15 , from which it can be seen that a bar code printed on the leaflet 105 is visible through the window 104 of the wall 100.
- the end edges of the finished box are pressed together in the direction of the two arrows A, by which the box can be folded and then filled with the product to be contained, and finally closed to assume the appearance shown in perspective view in Figure 16 , which differs from Figure 9 only in that the wall 100 defines with the underlying wall 3A a pocket 106 to house the leaflet 105, which can be easily withdrawn and then returned to this pocket.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a box formed from a single piece of punched and crease-lined cardboard sheet for containing loose tablets and the like, and for enabling the release or discharge of only one tablet at a time.
- Loose tablets (the term "tablets" means tablets of any type, having medical or cosmetic properties, sweets, sugar-coated almonds and the like) are often contained and preserved in boxes from which they can be withdrawn by opening a lid of the box, inserting the fingers of a hand into the box and taking one or more tablets therefrom: this system evidently involves inevitably touching a certain number of tablets with the fingers, this being hardly advisable from the hygienic aspect.
- Boxes are also known having a lid or aperture (provided with a closure element) through which several tablets can be made to fall into the palm of a hand and those unused be returned into the box.
- The present invention has several objects.
- One object is to form, from a single piece of punched and crease-lined cardboard sheet (or similar sheet material), a box which is finished in all its component parts, by using automatic machines operating at high speed such that the box production cost is very low.
- Another object is to form a box in which tablets can be contained and protected, to be released in a controlled manner (a single tablet at a time) by simply moving with the finger of one hand a movable panel forming part of the box and having a hole which can be moved and superposed on an aperture provided in an end wall of the box, below which this movable panel can be slid. In this manner those tablets which are not used remain enclosed and protected within the box and are not touched by the user.
- These and other objects are attained by a box formed from a single piece of punched and crease-lined cardboard sheet and defined by main lateral walls and by two end walls, in one of which an aperture having greater dimensions than said tablets is provided, characterised in that below and in contact with that end wall in which said aperture is provided there is a first panel provided with a hole also having greater dimensions than the tablets, said panel being bounded laterally by two cuts provided in a cardboard piece which projects from one of the box main panels, these cuts separating two lateral strips, which are glued onto the adjacent surface of the end wall, from a first panel central portion which can be moved between a box closure position, in which the panel hole is covered and closed by the overlying adjacent end wall of the box, and a tablet release position, in which the panel hole and the box end wall aperture are mutually superposed to enable one tablet to leave the box at a time, the lateral cuts bounding the central portion of the movable panel extending into the adjacent lateral wall of the box from which this first panel extends.
- Preferably the first panel lying below said end wall prolongs into the box to form a second and a third panel portion which are successive, the second portion being folded below the first panel and the third portion being folded relative to the second portion such as to be in contact with the inner surface of that box main wall in which the cuts extending from the first panel are provided, in the second portion of the supplementary panel a hole being provided having greater dimensions than the hole provided in the first panel, the movable portion of the first panel and the second portion of the panel being connected and joined together by a central tab bounded laterally by cuts which extend from the cuts bounding the central portion of the first panel.
- Again preferably, the cuts provided in said box lateral wall and extending from the lateral cuts bounding the central portion of the movable panel each consist of at least two consecutive cut portions separated from each other by an easy tear-off portion of said lateral wall to form a guarantee seal.
- Advantageously the longitudinal and transverse dimensions of said first panel are substantially equal to those of the second panel portion adjacent to it on that side inside the box, the hole provided in the first panel being at least partially obstructed by the second panel portion when in those conditions in which the hole in the central portion of the first panel is obstructed by the adjacent end wall of the box, said aperture of said box end wall being bounded by a recess in the free edge of the wall.
- The box structure and characteristics will be more apparent from the ensuing description of a preferred embodiment and a variant thereof, given with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
Figure 1 is a plan view of a flat piece of punched and crease-lined cardboard usable as the starting element for forming the box, - Figures from 2 to 4 represent the same piece of cardboard shown in its successive folding steps,
-
Figure 5 shows the box seen from a completely open end thereof, - Figures from 6 to 8 show the different steps in closing the box end, starting from
Figure 5 , -
Figures 9 and 10 are perspective views of the end of the finished box, shown respectively in its closed position and in the position which said end assumes to enable the release or discharge of one tablet at a time, -
Figures 11 and 12 are enlarged partial longitudinal sections through box portions taken on the lines 11-11 and respectively 12-12 ofFigures 9 and 10 , -
Figure 13 is a plan view of a cardboard piece similar toFigure 1 , but including a variant of the box, -
Figures 14 and15 show the same cardboard piece asFigure 13 in two successive folding steps for forming the box, of which -
Figure 16 is a perspective view of the box, formed and closed. - Reference will firstly be made to
Figure 1 which shows, extended and flat, a piece of punched, crease-lined and knurled cardboard sheet comprising four main paneis1-4 and alateral wall 5, these being separated from each other by parallel crease-lines 6-9. Flaps 11-13 extend from the lower ends of the walls 1-4 and are separated from the respective main walls by mutually aligned crease-lines 14-17 perpendicular to the lines 6-9. From the upper ends of the walls 1-4 there project an elongated lateral panel 18 (separated from thewall 1 by a crease-line 19), twoflaps flap 22 which are separated from the respective main panels 2-4 by mutually aligned crease-lines 23-25 perpendicular to the crease-lines 6-9. The elongatedlateral panel 18 is divided by crease-lines numbers elongated panel 18 is substantially equal to the width of theprofiled flap 22 the length of which is substantially equal to that of the first and of thesecond panel portion - From
Figure 1 it can be seen that in the profiledflap 22 anaperture 31 is provided bounded by a recess in the free edge of the wall; ahole 32 being provided in the elongated panelfirst portion 28; ahole 33 of greater dimensions than thehole 32 and of theaperture 31 being provided in thesecond panel portion 29, these two latter (32, 31) having dimensions greater than the dimensions of the tablets which are to be contained in the finished box and to be released to the outside by passing through these holes and aperture. - From
Figure 1 it can also be seen that between the first and secondelongated panel portion cuts 40 are provided which define in thepanel portion 28 twolateral strips 41 and a central portion 42 (in which thehole 32 is provided) and also define (in the second panel portion 29) acentral tab 50 the ends of which are separated from the first and respectively from the second panel portion by short crease-lines (for simplicity not numbered in the drawings). The twocuts 40 extend along the adjacentlateral wall 1 where they form two tear-offknurls 60 which terminate at afolding line 61 parallel to thefolding line 19. - It will now be assumed that the cardboard piece (described with reference to
Figure 1 ) is to be used to form the desired box. - Firstly (using automatic machines operating at high speed) two
glue spots 70 are deposited on the two lateral strips 41 (Figure 1 ), then theelongated panel 18 is rotated about thefolding line 26 provided in it (Figure 2 ), to hence fix the lateral edges of thesecond panel portion 29 onto the twolateral strips 41, after which the cardboard is folded onto itself about the crease-line 6 (Figure 3 ) and a glue strip (shown inFigure 3 but without reference numerals) is applied to the upward facing surface of thelateral wall 5, and finally the main panel 4 is folded onto thelateral wall 5, to which it is hence fixed (Figure 4 ) by the glue previously applied to thiswall 5. - The formation of the box by the cardboard processing firm is hence terminated and stacks of boxes (as shown in
Figure 4 ) are delivered to the box user firms which, using commonly used automatic machines of known type, exert a pressure on the crease-lines 6 and 8 (in the direction indicated by the arrows A inFigure 4 ), to deform the box, which thus assumes the open tubular state shown in axial view inFigure 5 . - The firm using the boxes then rotates the two
flaps Figure 6 ), then rotates thelateral panel 18 towards the box interior (about the superposed crease-lines 19 and 27), then applies a glue strip (shown dotted but not identified by reference numerals) to the outer surface of the two lateral strips 41 (Figure 7 ) of thefirst portion 28 of theelongated panel 18 and finally folds over (about the folding line 24) the profiled flap 22 (Figure 8 ) such as to fix it - along its outer edges - onto thelateral strips 41 of thefirst portion 28 of thepanel 18. - At this point that box end to which the drawings of Figures from 5 to 8 refer is closed, the
hole 32 of thecentral portion 42 of thepanel 18 is closed on the outside by the flap 22 (therecess 31 of which is not superposed on the hole 32) and is also partially closed on its inside by thesecond flap portion 29, then the box user firm - using common machines of known type used for similar purposes - is able to insert the required quantity of loose tablets through the still open end of the box, i.e. the opposite end to that just described; after this the box end is automatically closed by folding the flaps 11-13 towards the box interior and gluing one onto the other. - The closed box hence assumes the appearance shown in perspective view in
Figure 9 , a partial longitudinal section through which (taken on the lines 11-11 ofFigure 9 ) is shown inFigure 11 . - It will now be assumed that a tablet (which must have dimensions such as to enable it to pass through the
holes line 19 at thecentral portion 42 of thepanel 18 and pulled towards the outside of the box: this causes thepanel 42 to slide between theflap 22 and theflaps wall 1 lying between theknurl 60 and the folding line 61 (Figure 12 ). On termination of the maximum outward oscillation of thecentral portion 42 of thepanel 18, thehole 32 provided in this central portion is positioned below, and corresponding with, the aperture of therecess 31 of theflap 22, while thecentral tab 50 causes thesecond portion 29 of theelongated panel 18 to bend inwards: as a result, thesecond panel portion 29 withdraws from thefirst panel portion 28, causing thehole 33 to move away and pass below thehole 41 so that, by inclining the box holes downwards, a single tablet can be made to fall out of the box at a time. When thepanel portion 42 is returned into its original rest position (which is facilitated by the disposition of thepanel 18 folded into the box interior and acting as a return spring) the box returns to its closed position in which the tablets cannot emerge from the box and are protected within it. - Reference will now be made to Figures from 13 to 16 which show a variant of the aforedescribed box.
Figure 13 shows a piece of punched and crease-lined cardboard in which the same reference numerals (followed by the letter A) are used to indicate similar structural parts to those of Figures from 1 to 12: the various folding steps will not be described in detail, as these are obvious in the light of the preceding description. - The box version of
Figures 13-16 differs little from that of the other Figures. It is merely to be noted that twosupplementary walls wall 5A (which is wider than thewall 5 ofFigure 1 ) and are divided from each other by crease-lines parallel to those which separate the box walls from1A to 5A. It can be seen that thewall 100 is provided with asemicircular knurl 102 defining aremovable portion 103 of thewall 100 in which awindow 104 is provided. Theelongated flap 18A is firstly folded onto itself (in the aforedescribed manner), then thewall 4A is folded about the crease-line 8A and a glue layer applied to the upwardly facing surface of thewall 4A, then thewalls line 6A, fixing (by the glue applied to it) thewall 4A onto thewall 5A (Figure 14 ): in this manner a structure is obtained which is totally similar to that initially described in the present text, and will therefore not be further described. - A
glue strip 106 is then applied to thewall 101 and aleaflet 105 illustrating the characteristics of the product to be contained in the box is rested on the upwardly facing surface of the wall 103 (Figure 14 ). - Finally, the two
walls line 9A, fixing thewall 101 onto thewall 2A by theglue strip 106 as shown inFigure 15 , from which it can be seen that a bar code printed on theleaflet 105 is visible through thewindow 104 of thewall 100. At this point, operating in the already described manner, the end edges of the finished box are pressed together in the direction of the two arrows A, by which the box can be folded and then filled with the product to be contained, and finally closed to assume the appearance shown in perspective view inFigure 16 , which differs fromFigure 9 only in that thewall 100 defines with theunderlying wall 3A apocket 106 to house theleaflet 105, which can be easily withdrawn and then returned to this pocket.
