Definitions
- the present invention relates to an egg box which enables the eggs placed therein to be stored for a long time, to be carried and preserved.
- Cardboard egg box is a thermal formed packing type. Since the cardboard boxes prevent the eggs therein to get air, the shelf life of the eggs is short. The cardboard boxes are not resistant to humidity since the raw material used in its production is waste paper. Apart from the damp boxes give off unpleasant smell, they reduce the storing life of the eggs and cause lots of eggs to get damaged during transport since they lose their resistance. Since all egg producers in the market use cardboard boxes, the brand awareness is low. Therefore, the egg producers have difficulty in meeting requirements for being a brand such as making difference and recognition.
- Canadian patent document no CA2282136 an application known in the state of the art, discloses an egg carton having various nesting/denesting features, a ventilation system, reinforced portions, and capability of accommodating and protecting various sized eggs, which is manufactured from reinforced cardboard.
- the corners of the lid are ticker and indented.
- the ventilation is provided by means of air channels present on the carton. The cells are surrounded with high elastic walls and can hold larger eggs.

- Another objective of the present invention is to provide an egg box which has lower production cost.
- Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide an egg box which can be produced in a desired color and different visual forms.
- a further objective of the present invention is to provide an egg box which can be produced without requiring an additional process such as stretch wrapping.
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide an egg box which meets the requirements of the producers such as making difference, recognition and being a brand.
- Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide an egg box which can be opened and closed easily and provides possibility for retail sales.

Description
- The present invention relates to an egg box which enables the eggs placed therein to be stored for a long time, to be carried and preserved.
- Cardboard egg box is a thermal formed packing type. Since the cardboard boxes prevent the eggs therein to get air, the shelf life of the eggs is short. The cardboard boxes are not resistant to humidity since the raw material used in its production is waste paper. Apart from the damp boxes give off unpleasant smell, they reduce the storing life of the eggs and cause lots of eggs to get damaged during transport since they lose their resistance. Since all egg producers in the market use cardboard boxes, the brand awareness is low. Therefore, the egg producers have difficulty in meeting requirements for being a brand such as making difference and recognition.
- Large part of egg production, 60%, is consumed by large enterprises. Large enterprises purchase eggs in large quantities. Cracks are formed on the eggs inside the boxes because of the eggs being subjected to lots of impacts inside the boxes and overloading during stacking. In the state of the art stretch wrapping is commonly used. However the wrapped boxes prevent the eggs from getting air and the shelf life of eggs that do not get air will be short.
- Canadian patent document no
CA2282136 , an application known in the state of the art, discloses an egg carton having various nesting/denesting features, a ventilation system, reinforced portions, and capability of accommodating and protecting various sized eggs, which is manufactured from reinforced cardboard. The corners of the lid are ticker and indented. There are egg cells aligned on top of each other on the tray. The ventilation is provided by means of air channels present on the carton. The cells are surrounded with high elastic walls and can hold larger eggs. - South Korean Patent document no

- The egg box (1), which enables the eggs put therein to be stored for a longer time by preserving them, essentially comprises
at least one lower cage (2) which is resistant to impacts, has lattice structure with windows allowing air ventilation and prevents the eggs from being from the lower parts,
at least one upper cage (3) which is resistant to impacts, has lattice structure with windows allowing air ventilation and prevents the eggs from being from the upper parts,
at least one lower cell (4) which has a semi elliptical shape, has lattice structure with windows allowing air ventilation, is mounted on the lower cage (2) and in which the eggs fit,
at least one upper cell (5) which has a semi elliptical shape, has lattice structure with windows allowing air ventilation, is mounted on the upper cage (3) and in which the eggs fit,
at least two resistance barrier (6) which are located in the middle part of the lower cage (2) and the upper cage (3) and which absorbs the extra load on the cages (2) (3),
at least one nesting lock system (7) which locks the lower cage (2) and the upper cage (3) to each other. - Additionally, the inventive egg box (1) essentially comprises preferably
at least one egg box carrying handle (8) which can be attached and detached from a certain point inside the cages (2) (3) having a lattice structure with windows,
at least one egg box stacking apparatus (9) which stacks the boxes (1) by keeping them together, by being attached to the cages (2) (3) having lattice structure with windows,
at least one egg box stacking handle (10) which enables the stacked egg boxes (1) to be carried together and which has U shape. - The inventive egg box (1) is used to pack and store the eggs placed therein. The box (1) enables the eggs to get air from every direction. By this means the storage and shelf life of the eggs elongates. The lower cage (2) and the upper cage (3) which are resistant to the impacts enable the eggs to be carried from one point to another inside the box (1) securely. The lower cell (4) in which the eggs are put is mounted on the lower cage (2). The lower cell (4) fixes the eggs put therein by surrounding them by means of its semi elliptical structure. Therefore it is prevented that the eggs carried from one place to another in the box (1) do not crack and break as a result of the impacts.
