Definitions

  • the present invention belongs to the field of display containers for products including elastic means, such as elastic bands, to bring the products towards a part of the container where they can be displayed.
  • Containers are known for products where said products are constantly pushed towards an opening of the container, where the products are displayed, by elastic means, normally an elastic band, such that when a product is removed the elastic means make the remaining products be displayed always in the same way to the consumers, as near as possible for extraction and/or as visually and commercially as possible.
  • Patent US2801000 discloses a display container for laminar products stacked vertically and displayed through an upper anterior opening by the traction exerted by an elastic band.
  • the opening in which the products are displayed is small, in accordance with the laminar products, and a semicontainer within another semicontainer is required, resulting in a product that is aesthetically displeasing and expensive to manufacture.
  • Patent WO2014006398 discloses a display container for horizontally stacked products where, before forming the container, on the sheet, an elastic band is attached such that the container is formed with the products inside it and as it is formed the products are pulled by the elastic band, such that the container is complicated to assemble and if the elastic band fails the container must be discarded or unfolded to restore the sheet, remove the products, change the elastic band and repeat the forming process.
  • Patent publication US2937742A1 discloses a display container having the features recited in the preamble of claim 1. The present invention solves the drawbacks of the prior art by the design of a display case with an elastic band.
  • the invention relates to a display container with an elastic band that is easy to form and allows using existing formats with minimal modifications.
  • the technical problem addressed is configuring the shape, cuts and folding lines of the container and arranging the elastic band to obtain the aforementioned goal.
  • the term 'display case' refers to a container holding products which can display said products to consumers.
  • An advantage resulting from the container according to claim 1 is that it is easy to form, simply by folding a sheet and placing an elastic band on the outside, allowing to use currently existing formats with minor changes thereby avoiding large investments in new dies.
  • Another advantage resulting from claim 1 is that the products are not pulled at all times, only when the breakable upper portion is removed, which is generally when the products are displayed, such that they cannot be damaged if the elastic band is squashed.
  • Another advantage resulting from claim 1 is that the same container provides a display case in a simple manner and can be placed directly on the shelf of a store without having to transfer the products to a different container or install an intermediate container between the container described herein and the shelf of the store.
  • Another advantage resulting from claim 2 is that, at the area where the elastic band pulls on the products, said elastic band is level with the container and provides aesthetic continuity with the same, resulting in a smooth design.
  • Another advantage resulting from claims 3 and 4 is that the conversion into a display case is performed in a simple manner.
  • Another advantage resulting from claim 5 is that the container can be quite sturdy and suitable for large and/or relatively heavy products.
  • Figures 5 and 6 show a display container (1) containing products (3) stacked horizontally that comprises an elastic band (2) for bringing said products (3) towards the anterior part thereof.
  • Said display container (1) is formed by a quadrangular cardboard sheet (1.1), figure 1 , that comprises a first side (1.2) that corresponds to a first folding line, from where a first tab (1.3) emerges, an in parallel and in sequence are arranged the second (1.4), third (1.5) and fourth (1.6) sides, which respectively correspond to the second, third and fourth folding lines, and parallel to the fourth side (1.6) and following the sequence is disposed a fifth side (1.7) as the end of the sheet (1.1).
  • fifth (1.12) and sixth (1.17) folding lines On each side of the sheet (1.1) and perpendicular to the sides (1.2,1.4,1.5,1.6,1.7) are arranged fifth (1.12) and sixth (1.17) folding lines, which respectively correspond to sixth and seventh sides.
  • a breakline (1.29) is provided along the sheet (1.1) parallel to the sixth side (1.12), in each of the first (1.2) and second (1.4) sides a guide orifice (1.28) is made for the elastic band (2) between the sixth side (1.12) and the breakline (1.29), in each of the third (1.5) and fourth (1.6) sides a guide orifice (1.28) is made for the elastic band (2) at the intersection of each of said sides (1.5,1.6) with the breakline (1.29), such that when forming the container (1) the first tab (1.3) coincides with the fifth side (1.7) and when the breakable upper portion is separated, such that when the breakable upper portion, dotted region in figure 1 , along the breakline (1.29), figures 5 and 6 , the elastic band (2) exerts a constant traction force on the products (3) towards the anterior face (1.8) of the container (1).
  • breakline (1.29) consists of two parallel segments, the first segment closer to the seventh side (1.17) and running along the first tab (1.3), front face (1.8), one segment of the right side face (1.9) and one segment of the left side face (1.11).
  • the breakline (1.29) has at least one opening (1.30) to facilitate the breaking, specifically the figure show three simply to provide access from any face of the container (1), the front face (1.8) being advantageous due to its ease of access.
  • the cardboard is corrugated cardboard.
