Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container for transporting single or multiple items which is in the nature of a box with flaps provided with a double inner partition defining two compartments, the box being cut from a sheet of material such as cardboard or corrugated cardboard then folded and glued.
  • this container is divisible into two halves each constituting a separate container.
  • the central double partitions are either extended on both sides by flaps that the machines cannot fold, or have no extending flap at all to the detriment of the rigid nature of the central partitions and there is a risk of products to be packed/packaged getting caught while they are being placed inside the box.
  • the need to divide the box into two separate containers rules out applying any glue between the two middle partitions and any additional reinforcing device to join the two halves.
  • the invention proposes using available material to extend the central partitions to form panels which are glued and folded over these partitions to provide the double benefit of the reinforcement of the flat surfaces of these partitions and of the absence of a layer of material with sharp edges on which the product decorations or labels are likely to get caught while the contents are being placed inside.
  • One of the potential applications of the invention is the grouping and packing of two rows of bottles or other primary packaging of products like cosmetics, for example, in a single box with flaps on the production lines then dividing it at the end of the production line or at the point of sale into two containers each holding a single row of bottles or other primary packaging.
  • replenishing the shelves with each product reference usually only requires a single row of products.
  • the container (E) which is the subject of the invention is made up of a succession of more or less rectangular-shaped panels (1, 2, 3, 4, 4', 3', 2', 1'), the two end panels (1) and (1') are extended respectively by panels that are more or less trapezoidal in shape (5) and (5') used subsequently as assembly tabs. These panels are successively connected to each other by joint folds (6) between panels (1) and (5), (7) between panels (1) and (2), (8) between panels (2) and (3), (9) between panels (3) and (4), (9') between panels (4') and (3'), (8') between panels (2') and (3'), (7') between panels (1') and (2'), and (6') between panels (1') and (5').
  • An additional pre-cut dividing line (10) splits the central panel (4, 4') into two more or less equal parts (4) and (4') in order to contribute to the division into two separate containers when it is broken.
  • This line is preferably achieved by alternating 20 mm long slit sections separated by 3 mm long solid sections (called attachment points). Other sequential arrangements alternating slit sections and solid or grooved sections are possible provided a balance is maintained between the resistance necessary for the cardboard cut-out to pass through the folding and gluing machine or for the container to remain intact when assembled, filled and closed for handling and transportation, and the ease with which the container can be subsequently divided without much effort if it is divided manually and in a manner that is compatible with the mechanical constraints of the production lines if the division is mechanised.
  • the panels with a prime reference (') are more or less symmetrical to the panels with the same reference number with regard to the dividing line (10).
  • the central panel constituting a secondary outer lateral face divisible into two halves (4) and (4') can be distinguished as can the panels constituting the main outer lateral faces (3) and (3'), the panels constituting the other secondary outer lateral face (2) and (2'), the inner double partition (1) and (1') and the inner assembly tabs (5) and (5') designed to be glued, applied and superposed somewhere inside each half of the secondary lateral faces of the middle of the container respectively (4) and (4').
  • these lines are made up of an alternating succession of 20 mm long slits and 3 mm long attachment points with no slit or with grooves, the slits being reduced to approximately 10 mm in length close to other panel fold lines or free edges.
  • flap assembly tabs (15- 1 ) and (15- 2 ) are each connected to their respective flaps by a pre-cut line preferably but not exclusively embodied by a succession of 12 to 13 mm long slits and 2 to 3 mm long attachment points to allow the container to be glued and divided without any effort.
  • a succession of 5 to 7 mm long slits alternating with 4 to 6 mm long attachment points it is possible to use a succession of 5 to 7 mm long slits alternating with 4 to 6 mm long attachment points.
  • the central double partitions (1) and (1') are extended respectively by the partition reinforcement panels or flaps (11- 1 ) (11- 2 ) and (11'- 1 ) (11'- 2 ).
  • these partition reinforcement panels are trapezoidal in shape so that there is complete doubling at the joint fold with the partitions to reduce the risk of the products contained getting caught while they are being placed into the container and partial doubling which is even less towards the middle of the height of the partitions in order to reduce over-thickness likely to indirectly cause stress along the joint folds of the lateral faces between them.
  • Fold and joint lines connect all the panels or flaps extending their respective lateral faces, namely lines (16) between partitions (1 and 1') and the partition reinforcement flaps (11- x ) and (11'- x ), lines (17) between the panels of the secondary lateral faces (2) and (2') and the secondary flaps (12- x ) and (12'- x ), lines (18) between the panels of the main lateral faces (3) and (3') and the main flaps (13- x ) and (13'- x ), lines (19) between the panels of the first secondary lateral half-faces (4) and (4') and the first secondary flaps (14- x ) and (14'- x ).
  • forward direction is used to indicate the direction in which the container progresses in the production machine (see Fig. 1 ) during manufacture and "cross direction” is used to indicate the direction perpendicular to the previous one.
  • the first operation is the application of one or more lines of glue (c1) simultaneously or successively (c1') to inner face of partition reinforcement flap panels (11- 1 ) (11- 2 ) and (11'- 1 ) (11'- 2 ) respectively.
  • these partition reinforcement flap panels are then folded over the respective partitions (1) and (1') along two fold axes in the "cross direction", by top and bottom hooks fitted to the machine, and they are kept superposed on these partitions (1) and (1') until the glue solidifies thereby joining these partition reinforcement flaps to the partitions that are partially doubled by them.
  • the second successive operation is the application of a line of glue (c2) to part (22) of one of the assembly tabs (5).
  • this part (22) upon opening the container, this part (22) will be detached from assembly tab (5) when the attachment points break, having first kept the tab (5) folded over the panel (1) then delayed and facilitated the opening and positioning of the double partition (1) and (1') by a pull opposite to that exerted for the opening and positioning of the panels of the lateral faces and of the double partition.
  • this tab (5) is refolded over the nearest partition panel (1) along fold axis (A) and kept joined by the line of glue (c2) to this partition panel (1) on which it is superposed.
  • the next operation consists of folding along axis B, the opposing partition panel (1') and its extending assembly tab (5'), which are superposed on the panels of the secondary lateral face (2') and part of the main lateral face (3').
  • glue can either be applied as described above or to the surfaces opposite the panels to which the previous deposits of glue were applied and to which they stuck.
  • the next operation consists of folding the container so glued over on itself along fold axis (C) so that the container takes the final geometric shape it will be in when delivered to the packager/packer by the container manufacturer according to Fig. 2.5 .
