Description

Pack for cans.

Object of the invention

The purpose of this Utility model is to have a pack for cans formed from a die-cut sheet, which presents both cuts and lines of climbing and creasing.

Thanks to the pack of the invention it is possible to group a set of cans evenly and regularly distributed using the same sheet, facilitating the manipulation of a set of cans simultaneously.

Characterizes the present invention the special configuration of the blade that thanks to the cutting lines that it has ensures a firm hold of each of the cans that form part of the pack Also thanks to the climbing lines it is possible partition or segregation in sets with a lower number of cans, and thanks to the creasing lines it is possible to fold the sheet sufficiently so that it holds efficiently The cans.

Therefore, the present invention is circumscribed within the scope of the die cut and cut sheets that are used to the conformation of cans packs.

Background of the invention

So far the packs of cans are shaped from plastic fastening means that have a series circular openings in which the part fit snugly upper of the cans, the cans being grouped, generally in groups of six.

This way of forming packs for cans presents several inconveniences, on the one hand the difficulty they present for their manufacturing, on the other hand they do not allow distribution in units in lower number for which the pack is designed, being possible only by removing the cans from the plastic openings. On the other hand it is not a recyclable material.

Other means are known for forming packs, employees basically for dairy products, based on the use of sheets of cardboard covering the entire top of the containers being folded over the lateral edges of the packaging, not allowing distribution nothing more than in a equal amount for which the pack is designed.

Therefore the objective of the present invention is that of overcome the above problems by developing a sheet that allows the formation of a pack for cans, which does not be made with plastic media, which allows distribution and sale in a lower number of units for which originally the pack has been designed, and whose fastening and fixing means are reliable and safe.

Description of the invention

The pack for cans object of the invention basically consists in a die cut and cut sheet preferably made in cardboard or similar material on which a series of cutting, climbing and creasing lines.

The cut lines serve to define two separable zones each other between which the upper edge of the cans is housed.

The climbing lines with which the sheet that conforms the pack, serve for the separation or segregation of a series of units of the set as originally distributed. This feature has the advantage of a first manipulation in a sufficiently large number which facilitates its handling, while for sale it is possible to separate sets of two, four, eight units or any combination of these, as desired, facilitating retail sale.

On the other hand, the creasing lines serve to allow a slight folding of those parts of the sheet that are joined and that after the incorporation of the edge of the cans in the zones cut necessarily produce a folding or folding of some parts on the rest of the sheet.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is going to perform and in order to help a better understanding of their characteristics, is accompanied by the present specification, of a set of planes in whose figures, illustratively and not limiting, the most significant details of the invention.

Figure 1 shows a plan representation of the pack for cans object of the invention.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures, a mode of preferred embodiment of the proposed invention.

In Figure 1, we look at the sheet from which it starts for conformation of a pack for cans. On this sheet there is a series cuts (1), climbing lines (3) and (4), as well as lines of creasing (2) that favor the folding of a part of the sheet With respect to another.

A series of cuts are made on the sheet (1) that they have an arc of circumference, observing that they remain facing two to two, defining a series of central areas circular (6) under which the cans are arranged, housing the edge perimeter step the cans in said cuts (1).

The edges of the can have a perimeter staggering that by pressing the top of the can on the cuts (1) slightly displace the edges of said cuts (1) of the central circular zone (6) so that the part of the blade more external to the cut (1) is housed in the stepping perimeter that the cans present.

In order to favor the displacement of the central zone (6) in contact with the cuts (1) on each of said cuts (1) and at one of its ends there is an oblique cut (5).

The arc-shaped cuts (1) define some lateral clamping zones (7) and (8) arranged externally to said cuts (1). Said lateral clamping parts (7) and (8) in the area of the cuts (1) in the form of an arc of circumference go to be those that lodge in the perimetral staggering of the cans holding them.

The cleft lines (2) serve to accommodate the perimeter stepping of the cans in the cuts (1) and as there is a slight deformation of the sheet, said deformation is favored not suffering the sheet any damage, performing the folding of the sheet if necessary by the creasing lines (two).

On the other hand, vertical (3) and horizontal climbing lines (4) serve to be able to segregate the set of units from the pack in a lower number in case you want a lower number of units.

The sheet counts in the perimeter zone and in the center of each side part (7) and (8) with curved perimeter cuts (9) that They favor the manipulation of the pack as a whole.

While this sheet has been shown in the embodiment preferred for 8 cans, it can be as large set or small as desired since every two units there are lines of vertical and horizontal climbing that favor segregation in Groups of two units.

It does not alter the essentiality of this invention variations in materials, shape, size and arrangement of the elements components, described in a non-limiting manner, it is sufficient to Its reproduction by an expert.

Claims (3)

1. Pack for cans characterized in that it is formed from a sheet on which there are made cuts (1) in the form of an arc of circumference and each arranged in a opposite way defining a circular central area (6) on which it is arranged the can to hold, also has the sheet with vertical (3) and horizontal (4) climbing lines that allow the segregation of the original set into groups of two units, as well as some creasing lines (2) that favor folding of the lateral parts (7) and (8) defined after the cuts (1) and which are responsible for fixing the cans when the edges of said lateral areas are housed in the perimetral steps with which the cans have. 2. Pack for cans, according to claim 1, characterized on each of the arc-shaped cuts (1) is circumferential and at one of its ends there is an oblique cut (5) that favors the folding of the central area ( 6) when the perimeter step of the can is housed in the cut (1). 3. Pack for cans, according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the sheet has in the perimeter zone and in the center of each side part (7) and (8) with curved perimeter cuts (9) that favor the manipulation of the pack set.
