Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to the technical field of containers for transporting products, and more specifically to cardboard boxes or trays for transporting wet products.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide, starting from a single compact cardboard sheet, a tray for transporting wet products provided with a completely leak-tight bottom.
  • a package, tray or box for transporting wet products which, without using polystyrene, has similar strength and leak-tightness features, or such features being at least sufficient to transport perishables, maintaining the cold chain, would therefore be a valuable contribution to the state of the art.
  • the object of the present invention is a leak-tight tray for transporting wet products, such as fresh fish, for example, formed from a compact cardboard sheet with main folding lines defining a base and four side walls facing one another in twos.
  • the tray comprises a tab arranged in each of the four corners of the base, where each of the tabs in turn comprises two folding lines joining it to two side walls and a third diagonal folding line running from the corner of the base to a free edge of the tab, where said tab is folded towards the inside of the tray when the side walls are raised during assembly of the tray.
  • the structure of the tray of the present invention provides complete leak-tightness as a result of the combination of the chosen material, i.e., compact cardboard, and the solution presented for the corners of the base.
  • the foldable tabs assure complete insulation and prevent any damage caused by the moisture of the transported good. It must be pointed out that the corners and edges in materials of this type are critical points in that they are the weakest points with respect to moisture. Reinforcement of the base in this sense is therefore fundamental to achieve certain durability in trays containing wet products.
  • the tabs are quadrangular-shaped and the diagonal folding line runs from the corner of the base to a free corner of the tab formed by two cutting lines.
  • the side walls can comprise at the ends thereof prolongations defined by folding lines coinciding with the vertical edges of the tray. Said prolongations in turn comprise at least one additional folding line which allows forming a polyhedral structure when folding the prolongations towards the inside of the tray.
  • the prolongations can have two additional folding lines, therefore splitting each of the prolongations into 3 portions and forming a polyhedral structure having a triangular section when the intermediate portion is folded towards the inside of the tray and the outermost portion is folded towards the outside of the tray, being placed against the side wall.
  • a column is thereby advantageously formed in each of the corners of the tray which structurally reinforce it and allows stacking several trays.
  • the side walls can comprise an upper flap defined by a longitudinal folding line which allows covering the upper section of the polyhedral structures when the flaps are folded towards the inside of the box.
  • a support surface for stacking other trays while at the same time reinforcing the structure of the tray is thereby advantageously achieved.
  • the upper flaps comprise at each of their ends a wing, the only contact of which with the flap being a folding line, where the wing is placed against the adjacent side wall when it is folded towards the inside of the box.
  • the tray is advantageously structurally reinforced, trapping the adjacent side wall between one of the columns and one of the wings in a sandwich-type structure.
  • compact cardboard in the present invention provides the tray with sufficient rigidity and strength to dispense with additional materials, unlike other solutions of the state of the art which have to use fiber meshes on the base of the tray.
  • the recycling of the present invention is therefore more complete and simple to process, being entirely environmentally friendly.
  • the leak-tightness of the base also involves the advantage of retaining any liquid derived from the transported wet products, which assures the maintenance of cleanliness and hygienic conditions of warehouses or means of transport used.
  • the tray proposed in the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a compact cardboard sheet (1) with several cuts and main folding lines defining a base or bottom and four side walls which in the unfolded position are prolongations of the base, but with the box assembled, they are vertically arranged with respect to the base and facing one another in twos.
  • the tab has an additional folding line (23) running along one of its diagonals, specifically the diagonal joining the corner of the base defined by the crossing of the main folding lines with the opposite corner of the tab, such that when assembling the tray, it allows folding, as shown in Figure 3 , the tab along said folding line towards the inside of the tray, thereby achieving complete leak-tightness on the bottom of the tray.
  • the side walls (4) of one of the pairs of facing side walls have foldable wings (41) which can be folded by means of the corresponding folding line (42).
  • said side wings have additional folding lines (43, 44) which, once the tray is assembled, form polyhedral structures in the form of a column in each of the corners of the tray.
  • a column having a triangular section (45) is obtained, where the last part (46) of the wing, defined by the folding line (44) closest to the end, is arranged parallel to the side wall and preferably attached to it by means of glue.
  • the last part of the wing (46) is adhered at a point of the side wall such that the first part of the wing is arranged perpendicular to the side wall and the second part of the wing runs diagonally from the corresponding folding line (43) to the following folding line (44), which is in contact with the side wall.
  • the two pairs of facing side walls are of a different size such that the assembled tray has, as can be seen in Figure 4 , two sides having a greater height (4) and two sides having a smaller height (5).
  • stacking trays according to this preferred embodiment assures the entrance of air for aerating the transported products.
  • the side walls can be of the same dimensions, being able to achieve the same aeration effect for the products transported in the tray by means of different folding lines in the upper part of the side walls or directly by means of a recess in the central part thereof.
  • the sides having a greater height are narrower than the sides having a smaller height, these measurements being defined by the base, but the proportions may vary according to other embodiments of the invention and even be identical in width in the case of a square base.
  • Two of the facing sides preferably the ones having a greater height, have openings or grooves in the form of handles (6) for transporting the trays.
  • these handles are located in a central or upper position of the side walls so as to not jeopardize the leak-tightness of the tray.
  • the handles have a small tab (7) in their upper part which is joined to the side wall by means of a folding line. This tab can be folded towards the inside of the tray to make transport easier for an operator who, upon introducing their hands in the handles, finds a larger contact surface and prevents or reduces possible discomforts or even cuts.
  • the side walls having a greater height have an upper portion (47) defined by a folding line (48), where said upper portion in turn has a wing (49) at each of its ends, also defined by its corresponding folding line.
  • the upper portion is configured for being folded towards the inside of the tray along its folding line such that with the tray in assembled position, it covers the upper end of the columns having a triangular section and furthermore provides a surface for stacking other trays.
  • the wings of the ends are configured for being folded along the corresponding folding line and being fixed to the adjacent side wall, preferably by means of gluing, in order to reinforce the structure of the tray.
  • the side walls having a smaller height (5) have two cutting lines (51) close to their upper corners and arranged perpendicular to the main folding line. There has been provided between the cutting lines a folding line (52) parallel to the main folding line such that a flap (53) is defined between the cutting lines and said folding line.
  • the flap is folded along the folding line in order to reinforce the structure of the box and eliminate sharp edges in the upper part of the tray.
  • the flap is fixed by means of gluing to the inner face of the side wall on which it is folded.
  • each of the parts which are folded over others receives gluing which reinforces the attachment and maintains the shape and structure of the tray.
  • the preferred material for this embodiment is compact cardboard, given that its structural properties of hardness, rigidity, strength and impermeability are suitable for the envisaged use of transporting wet products without requiring additional materials or treatments.
  • other embodiments of the present invention contemplate other similar materials for the sheet, such as corrugated cardboard, reinforcement materials at given points or waterproof treatments.
