Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a box-type package with a lid that opens like a casket, designed to contain foodstuff products, in particular confectionery products such as for example chocolates, pralines, etc., said package comprising:
  • Packages of the type referred to above are for example known from DE7515137U , DE7529642 and EP0937657A1 .
  • a support of the type referred to above is for example known from FR 2216813 A5 .
  • the casing itself forms a box and is prearranged for receiving within it the support made of polymeric material.
  • Said configuration poses, however, non-negligible production problems.
  • the space inside the box should be of a size exactly corresponding to the dimensions in plan view of the support in order to prevent anti-aesthetic empty spaces between the internal walls of the box and the support.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a package that will be constructionally simpler than the ones known in the art, and that will guarantee in any case an optimal aesthetic result, at the same time with a saving of paper material.
  • a box-like package with a lid that opens like a casket designed to contain a plurality of foodstuff products, in particular confectionery products such as, for example, chocolates, pralines, biscuits, etc.
  • the package 10 comprises, in general, a paperboard casing 2, defining a base 4, and a lid 6, connected to the base 4 so as to be able to oscillate between a position of closing and a position of opening of the package.
  • the package 10 further comprises a support 8 made of polymeric material, for example PET acetate or else PVC acetate or equivalent materials that can be formed via an operation of thermoforming or injection moulding, which defines a plurality of cells 8' designed to receive each a respective product.
  • the paperboard casing forms both the container and the lid of the box, and the polymer support is set inside the container.
  • the casing 2 does not form in itself a box, but it is only the package itself as a whole that forms the box, after the casing 2 and the support 8 have been assembled together.
  • the base 4 comprises a bottom 41 and at least one tab 42, which can be folded with respect to the bottom, and the support 8, which is set on the bottom 41, has at the bottom a gap or slot 81 within which the tab 42 is inserted so as to anchor the support to the casing (and vice versa) in a configuration in which the support 8 defines outer side walls of the container of the package, i.e., at least top portions of the outer side walls of the container of the package.
  • the support 8 comprises a single moulded body defining a tray portion 82, on which the cells 8' are identified, and a side wall 83 that delimits the top surface of the tray portion laterally.
  • the side wall is provided with an edge folded back; i.e., it has a flap 85 that is folded on the outside downwards, which sets itself opposed and substantially parallel to the non-folded part of the wall 83, thus forming the aforesaid slot 81.
  • the wall 83 of the support 8 surrounds the tray portion 82, thus defining a slot 81 that extends along the entire perimeter of the support 8.
  • the bottom 41 has a shape in plan view corresponding to that of the support 8 and a plurality of tabs 42 inserted in the slot 81 (see Figure 4 ).
  • the support 8 and the bottom 41 are polygonal in plan view, for example rectangular, square, etc.
  • the bottom 41 and the tabs 42 guarantee a simple and stable connection to the support 8, which is preferably ensured via application of adhesive material, for example at least one spot of glue, between the outer side of the bottom of the cells 8' and the bottom 41.
  • the flap 85 can have a height that varies with respect to the tabs 42 so as to cover said tabs completely or only in part (as in the preferred embodiment illustrated), in the latter case it being envisaged that, in its position of closing of the package, the lid 6 covers the remaining visible part of the tabs with its side edges.
  • the details of construction and the embodiments may vary, even significantly, with respect to what has been illustrated herein purely by way of non-limiting example, without thereby departing from the scope of the invention, as defined by the annexed claims.
  • the support 8 may also not come into contact with the bottom 41 and be supported by just the tabs 42.
  • the general shape of the package may be different from the one illustrated in the figures, for example cylindrical.
