Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a box for bottles lying on their sides, provided with self-erecting internal dividers with formation from the bottom.
  • the present invention relates to a box made for the packaging of a plurality of bottles lying on their sides, typically six bottles but even a different number, provided with self-erecting separation elements from the bottom, i.e. designed so that the vertical attitude of the set of dividers of the lower bottles is obtained during the box assembly step, i.e. during the forming for the introduction of the bottles starting from a folded storage condition.
  • the present invention is applied in the sector of packaging bottles, advantageously through corrugated cardboard boxes.
  • corrugated cardboard boxes which represents the typical material used particularly in the packaging sector, which in its simplest form is composed of two flat paper surfaces, known as covers, which enclose corrugated paper, all connected together through the use of suitable adhesives.
  • the cardboard boxes are realised according to a construction method that allows the user who needs to box their product to arrange a supply of folded boxes in the warehouse, so that they occupy a minimal amount of space while ensuring maximum availability in case of use, and only at the time of filling with the objects to be inserted, e.g. bottles of wine, they can be assembled to assume the typical box-shaped, parallelepiped conformation with vertical side walls associated with a base lower shelf and a closure upper shelf having opposing flaps.
  • the cardboard boxes in addition to being made, as mentioned, of corrugated cardboard for protection against impacts from the outside, must be equipped with internal dividers that are arranged between the bottles in order to ensure the separation thereof also from reciprocal impacts between bottles which must absolutely be avoided in order to prevent breakage due to the fragility of the glass especially when it collides with other glass.
  • the internal dividers are made of simple corrugated cardboard sheets that the operator inserts manually between the bottles.
  • notches are made thereon, so as to allow the reciprocal multiple co-penetration assuming an orthogonal compartment arrangement.
  • the internal dividers are made through the insertion of separation elements that are glued to the inside of the box allowing the box to assume a parallelepiped use arrangement with internal orthogonal compartments that are implemented during the opening step, starting from a folded attitude suitable for the transport and storage of the boxes themselves.
  • the boxes now on the market are designed based on different commercial policies which on one hand may be more aware of practical aspects and on the other hand to cost-related aspects.
  • the user could be inclined to facilitate and accelerate the box opening operations in order to prepare them more simply and quickly for the insertion of the bottles, or may be more aware of the containment of manufacturing costs through the box production facilities.
  • One of the types of boxes used to date is that one for containing bottles lying on their sides, i.e. in a substantially horizontal arrangement, particularly suitable for containing bottles of fine wine.
  • Document US 3960313 A discloses carton constructions formed from corrugated blanks.
  • the automatic setup cartons are formed from blanks having side panels from which top and bottom panels extend on either side thereof. Tabs and slots, if provided, lock the carton in the assembled condition and are carried on the bottom panels which are folded and glued in a manner so as to provide the automatic setup feature.
  • Document FR 87464 E discloses a packaging box whose bottom or lid comprises four foldable rectangular flaps each attached to one of the side faces of the box, and an internal separator element made by folding a blank of cardboard
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a box for bottles lying on their sides, whose feature is that of being provided with internal dividers obtained through self-forming from the bottom during the assembly operations, thus creating a condition able to eliminate or at least reduce the drawbacks highlighted above.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a box for bottles lying on their side, provided with self-forming internal dividers from the bottom, which is simple to realise and that allows the formation of internal separation elements during the box assembly step and the creation of the bottom, thus simplifying the operating steps that the personnel must perform during the preparation of the box.
  • Another object of the invention is to allow the self-erecting/automatic creation of the lower housings of the bottles, with an operation that is performed automatically during the assembly of the box itself, without the need for manual intervention.
  • the box is designed to be assembled obtaining already in this step the formation of the lower separation tongues so that, without performing any further operations, it is possible to insert the first three bottles in the spaces on the bottom.
  • 20 generally denotes a box that can be made through a single blanking of cardboard sheets or by placing various sheets, possibly joined, alongside each other, in order to obtain the containment of a precise number of bottles, i.e. three bottles or a multiple of three in overlapping rows.
  • Such box may also be made of other materials, such as flat board, synthetic or composite material.
  • the box according to the invention is made of one sheet, for example corrugated cardboard, obtained for example through a single blanking, but also in various parts, comprising four side faces 21, 22, 23 and 24, where the two outer faces 21 and 24 are joined together through the fixing tongue 25 which is made to adhere to the edge of the face 24.
  • the sheet 20 that constitutes the box-shaped container further comprises four lower flaps 26, 27, 28 and 29 and the same number of upper flaps 30, 31, 32 and 33.
  • the conformation of the four lower flaps 26, 27, 28 and 29 allows that, during the assembly of the box, lower vertical separation elements are automatically created allowing the box to contain the first bottles straight away, having already obtained the separation thereof without any additional movements.
  • this box is particularly designed for a precise number of bottles, which in this case are three or six or possibly multiples of three, and therefore also the compartments that are afforded must be three or six or possibly multiples of three.
  • the two opposite lower flaps 26 and 28 have a particular shape which, in use, defines the lower vertical separation elements suitable for mutually separating the first three bottles deposited.
  • each one of the two opposite flaps 26 and 28 has a respective pair of protruding elements indicated with 34 and 35 (for the flap 26) and 36 and 37 (for the flap 28).
  • said protruding elements 34 and 35 have different heights with respect to the fold line 38 and to the junction line with the side faces 21 and 23, and in particular the protruding element 35 is farther from the fold line 38 with respect to the protruding element 34, as well as the protruding element 37 is farther from the fold line 38 with respect to the protruding element 36.
  • protruding elements 34 and 35 of the flap 26, as well as the protruding elements 36 and 37 of the flap 28, are defined by respective second (39) and third (40) fold lines, which during use determine the lifting and formation of the internal separation elements.
  • protruding elements 34 and 35 of the flap 26, as well as the protruding elements 36 and 37 of the flap 28, are divided from each other by a groove 41 which has a substantially inclined course with respect to a virtual line that joins at 90° the extensions of the respective fold lines 39 and 40 of the protruding elements.
  • the protruding elements 34 and 35 of the flap 26, as well as the protruding elements 36 and 37 of the flap 28, are in the diametrically opposite position and, when a thrust is exerted towards the two most distant opposite vertices, the protruding elements 35 and 37 tend to move towards each other, while the protruding elements 34 and 36 tend to move away from each other.
  • Figures 7 and 8 represent two successive steps in which, while a thrust continues to be exerted towards the two most distant opposite vertices, the protruding elements 35 and 37 tend to move even closer together, while the protruding elements 34 and 36 tend to move even further away from each other, and in figure 9 it can be noted that the two smaller elements 34 and 36 start to push against the opposite and most protruding elements 35 and 37, allowing the reciprocal lifting thereof which allows them to be rotated reciprocally by 90° positioning themselves in a vertical attitude which determines the formation of the two internal vertical dividers of the base of the box.
  • the lifting of the protruding elements 34 and 37 on one hand and of the protruding elements 35 and 36 on the other hand, performed during the assembly of the box determines the self-formation of the lower dividers, allowing the first bottles to be inserted immediately at the end of the assembly step, without having to perform any further operations.
  • the conformation of the upper faces 30, 31, 32 and 33 of the box-shaped container, as well as the further internal dividers placed above the self-erecting vertical dividers according to the invention can be any.
