Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a box, in particular for containing a plurality of articles, such as laundry detergent caps.
  • One object of the present invention consists in providing an improved box of this kind.
  • this object is achieved by means of a childproof box which is erectable from a single cardboard or corrugated board blank, said box comprising a bottom wall, a polygonal side wall including a back face, two facing side faces and a front face, and a lid hinged on a top edge of said back face, which delimit an inner cavity,
  • a further subject-matter of the present invention is constituted by a blank for the erection of the above-captioned box, having a central part comprising a series extending along a central longitudinal axis of a front face, a bottom wall, a back face, a top panel and a front flap, which are delimited by first folding lines substantially parallel to each other and substantially orthogonal to said central longitudinal axis,
  • the one-blank arrangement of the box of the present invention provides the advantages of saving cardboard and reducing manufacturing costs.
  • the locking wings are, in the box of the present invention, attached, e.g. adhered or glued, to respective corner distal portion of the front flap of the lid, it is quite simple and easy closing the lid by pressing on its front flap and causing the retraction of the attached locking wings. Once the lid is in the closed configuration and the pressing action is released, the locking wings interfere with the front face of the side wall of the box and ensure a firm closure, until the two trigger tabs are contemporaneously pushed.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a monolithic cardboard, corrugated board or like material blank 10, which is symmetrical in respect of a central longitudinal axis 12.
  • the blank 10 has a central part comprising a series extending along the central longitudinal axis 12 of an end panel 14, a front face 16, a bottom wall 18, a back face 20, a top panel 22 and a front flap 24 of the front panel 22, which are delimited by first folding lines 26 parallel to each other and substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis 12.
  • the front face 16, bottom wall 18, back face 20, and top panel 22 are provided of respective opposite side flaps 28 which are delimited by second folding lines 30 substantially orthogonal to the first folding lines.
  • the front face 16 has two trigger tabs 32, each of which is cut in a respective lateral portion of the front face 16 and hinged thereto.
  • Each trigger tab 32 has an upper cut side 34 (the adjective "upper” being referred to the erected configuration of the blank) which is substantially parallel to the first folding lines 26 and a further cut side 36 which is substantially orthogonal to the upper cut side 34.
  • Each side flap 28 of the top panel 22 has a locking wing 38 laterally protruding from a distal portion thereof.
  • Each locking wing 38 has a trapezoidal shape and a major basis 40 which is hinged to an inclined edge of the respective side flap 28.
  • the height of each locking wing 38 is at least twice longer than the basis 40.
  • An area 44 for glue application is provided on a proximal part of each locking wing 38.
  • the front flap 24 of the top panel 22 has a generally rectangular shape with a concave distal side 46, and two inclined cuts 48 which delimit respective distal corner portions 50 respectively attached to proximal corner portions of the front flap 24.
  • the side flaps 28 of the front faces 16 have respective areas 52 to be glued.
  • the end panel 14 has a generally rectangular distal recess 51 having two lateral extensions 53 delimiting a central rectangular protrusion 55 into the recess 51.
  • An oblong area 57 to be glued extends on the surface of the protrusion 55.
  • the blank 10 is conventionally erected into a box 54 illustrated in figures 2 to 4 by folding and gluing together contiguous parts thereof.
  • the box 54 is a parallelepiped having rectangular cross-section and has a bottom wall 18, a polygonal, specifically rectangular, side wall substantially orthogonal to the bottom wall 18, and a lid 55, which together delimit an inner cavity 56.
  • the lid 55 is hinged on a top edge 60 of the back face 20, and is formed by the top panel 22, the two opposite side flaps 28 of the top panel 22 and the front flap 24, which flaps 28, 24 are substantially orthogonal to the top panel 22.
  • the folding lines 30 are interrupted by respective cuts 42 in the portions between the center of the top panel 22 and the flaps 28 thereof.
  • the side wall includes the back face 20 and the front face 16 facing to each other and two side faces facing to each other and each of which is formed by the flaps 28 of the bottom wall 16, back face 20 and front face 24, glued together by the areas 52, so as to form a sturdy arrangement quite resistant to possible break-in attempts.
  • the central portion of the upper edge of each side face of the side wall has a recess 58 that render accessible the respective side flap 28 of the front panel 22, so that acting on the lid 55 is facilitated, as it will be explained in detail below.
  • the upper portion of the front face 16 is reinforced by the end panel 14 which is folded inside the inner cavity 56 and glued to the back surface of the front face 16 by the glued area 57.
  • the glued areas 44 of the proximal parts of the locking wings 38 are attached, in particular adhered, to the respective distal corner portions 50 of the external surface of the front flap 24 of the lid 55, whose anterior part assumes in the open configuration and in the absence of any external force or constriction the configuration illustrated in figure 4 , wherein distal portions 62 of the locking wings 38 are divaricated from the front flap 24.
  • the erected box 54 in the open configuration illustrated by figure 4 can thus be filled with desired articles 64.
  • the user presses the front flap 24 thereof (see arrow 66 in figure 4 ), so that the locking wings 38, including the distal portions 62, become aligned thereto.
  • the lid 55 is successively rotated about the top edge 60 of the back face 20, its side flaps 28, front flap 24 and associated locking wings 38 enter into the inner cavity 56 and are contiguous to respective parts of the side wall of the box 55, whereas the front panel 22 of the lid 55 is arranged parallel to the bottom wall 18 and closes the inner cavity 56 (see figure 2 ).
  • the distal portions 62 of the locking wings 38 tend again to divaricate from the front flap 24, but are contrasted by the front face 16 and trigger tabs 32 and such interference keeps closed the lid 55.
  • the trigger tab pushing brings about a slight rotation of the lid 55 about the top edge 60 of the back face 20 and the user can easily complete such rotation by pressing on the front 24 and/or side flaps 28 of the lid 55 which - due to the initial rotation - protrude outside the inner cavity 56 and are easily accessible. Such pressing action is rendered more effective by the cuts 42.
  • the box of the invention might be obtained by folding a differently shaped blank, and have any suitable shape.
  • the locking wings might be attached through further intermediate protruding elements to the front flap of the lid.
