Definitions

  • the present invention as expressed in the statement of this specification, relates to a stackable box of the type provided for storing and transporting products, whose object is to provide a box structure for stacking boxes with a double support in the corners, which determines a solid and resistant stacking.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a stackable box whose bottom and lateral walls are made up by nerves that define apertures, which establish a light configuration in such a way that said lateral sides and bottom are susceptible of being covered by means of a sheet protecting the product contained inside the box.
  • the invention is applicable to any sector requiring the transport and stacking of products in boxes, and more specifically, the invention is applicable for the transport and stacking of fruits, vegetables and similar products.
  • Boxes for the packaging and transport of products are known in the state of the art, among these boxes, those boxes molded with plastic materials with an approximate rectangular-prismatic configuration, opened by their upper side, should be highlighted.
  • the lateral walls and bottoms of this type of boxes are made up by nerves that define apertures, so that, in order to achieve boxes with lower weights, they must present broad apertures that make the boxes lighter and weakens their structure, which represents an inconvenience when stacking the same.
  • the invention provides a new stackable box with an approximate rectangular-prismatic configuration, opened by its upper side, whose bottom and lateral walls are made up by nerves that define apertures.
  • the main novelty of these boxes is that the corners of the box are made up by support columns, which comprise, in the upper part, a horizontal end wing and a second horizontal wing located under the horizontal end wing, the second horizontal wing is provided with a projection bigger than the projection of the horizontal end wing, so that the lower part of the columns is provided with a horizontal extension that leans on the horizontal end wing of a box stacked below.
  • edge of the horizontal extension is elongated according to a flap, said flap being designed to lean on the second horizontal wing of a box stacked underneath, so that the configuration described provides double support at the corners when the boxes are stacked, obtaining a solid and resistant stacking.
  • the external surface of the flap is leveled with the edge of the second horizontal wing of a box stacked below.
  • the internal surface of said flap is abutted on the edge of the horizontal end wing of the box stacked below, thus centering the boxes appropriately during stacking and preventing them from being displaced in respect of the other boxes.
  • the upper part of the columns incorporates circular orifices, whose upper side is at the same level than the horizontal end wing.
  • the columns incorporate lower cylindrical extremities in their lower part so that, when stacking one box on top of another, the aforementioned lower extremities are fitted in the orifices.
  • the box comprises a protective sheet in its mouthpiece affixed to a flat perimeter surface defined by a perimeter flange presented as the continuation of the horizontal end wing of the upper part of the columns, so that the sheet is presented as a protective sheet of the open upper part of the box. This way, the product contained inside the box is covered by the protective sheet.
  • the box of the invention also provides that the long sides, the short sides and/or the bottom, according to additional embodiments, are provided with a sheet affixed to a surface in the form of a perimeter frame covering these sides, said sheet determining the protection of the product contained in the box.
  • the sheet is determined by a film that is stuck to the perimeter flange of the mouthpiece of the box and/or to the frames of the lateral sides and bottom by means of thermal welding, adhesive or other appropriate means.
  • the nerves of the lateral sides and bottom are arranged defining broad apertures in order to obtain a light box, what is possible thanks to the columns making up the corners of the box and the double support provided during stacking, which has already been already described.
  • the box is made from plastic, but it can obviously be made from any other material that allows obtaining the aforementioned characteristics.
  • the present invention also relates to the set of the box and protective sheet.
  • the sheet is placed in the mouthpiece of the box, affixed to a flat perimeter surface defined by a perimeter flange that is presented as the continuation of the horizontal end wing of the upper part of the columns of the box, so that the sheet is provided to protect the open upper side of the box. This way, the product contained inside the box is covered by the protective sheet.
  • said sheet is placed in one of the long sides, the short sides and/or the bottom, so that said sheet is affixed to a surface in the form of a perimeter frame that covers these sides, said sheet determining a protection for the product contained inside the box.
  • the box (1) of the invention is opened by its upper side whose bottom and lateral walls are made up by nerves (2) that define apertures (3), and whose corners are made up by support columns (4), which are provided with reinforcement nerves (5), both longitudinal and transverse, so that said transverse nerves are presented as a continuation of the nerves (2) constituting the lateral walls of the box (1).
  • the upper part of the columns (4) comprises a horizontal end wing (6) and a second horizontal wing (7) located underneath, said second horizontal wing (7) protruding further than the horizontal end wing (6).
  • the lower part of the columns (4) is provided with a horizontal extension (8), whose edge is elongated along a flap (9).
  • the flap (9) when stacking two boxes (1), the flap (9) is leveled with the edge of the second horizontal wing (7), giving continuity to the stacking.
  • the internal surface of said flap (9) abuts with the edge of the horizontal end wing (6) of the lower box (1) when stacking, which determines that the boxes are perfectly centered during stacking and prevents the lateral displacement of some boxes in respect of the others by means of the butt described, thus obtaining a stable, solid and resistant stacking.
  • the columns (4) that make up the corners of the box incorporate circular orifices (14) in the upper part (shown in figure 5 ), whose upper side is at the same level than the horizontal end wing (6), so that the horizontal end wing (6) is incorporated to the connection system between boxes.
  • the columns (4) incorporate lower cylindrical extremities (13) (shown in figure 6 ) so that, when a box (1) is stacked on top of another, the aforementioned lower extremities (13) are fitted in the orifices (14).
  • the stacked boxes (1) have a double fixation between them, since the boxes (1) are affixed, in the first place, due to the flap (9) that is leveled with the edge of the second horizontal wing (7) and the internal surface of said flap (9) abuts the edge of the horizontal end wing (6) of the lower box (1), and secondly, due to the connection system between the lower extremities (13) located in the lower part of the columns (4) that are fitted in the orifices (14) located in the upper part of the aforementioned columns (4).
  • the box (1) comprises a sheet (11) that is affixed to the mouthpiece of the box (1) through a flat surface defined by a perimeter flange (10) which is presented as the continuation of the horizontal end wing (6).
  • the invention also discloses that said protective sheet (11) can be included in both the lateral walls and the bottom of the box (1), for which the box (1) provides that said lateral walls and bottom comprise a surface by way of a perimeter frame to which the sheet (11) that covers said lateral sides and bottom is affixed.
  • the configuration described presents the great advantage of providing a light box with a solid and resistant configuration allowing to stack boxes safely.
