Description

Tray with alveoli.

Object of the invention

The present invention aims at a tray with alveoli that allows to accommodate different objects in it to be placed on large surface shelves so that the user can dispose of them or can be shown to public.

Due to its special configuration, the tray with alveoli it is stable against bending and torsion forces that They can be generated during handling.

Likewise, the tray with alveoli presents a structure that determines ventilation channels so that products that are housed in it, in case they need it, have a suitable temperature for conservation.

Background of the invention

They are well known in the state of technical trays with alveoli that allow conditioning various products such as fruits, containers or the like that incorporate a plurality of alveoli or voids with a shape suitable for the type of fruit or container to contain.

Among the above is the Model of Utility U9803068 relative to a tray for transport and fruit marketing that presents a series of alveoli where the fruits are placed.

However, the previous tray is constituted in the form of parallelogram, which due to the weight of objects deposited on it, it can deform due to the torsional and flexural stresses to which it is subjected.

These twisting and bending efforts lead to  the deformation of the tray with the consequent fall of the objects during transport or exposure for commercialization.

On the other hand, in the previous tray it is necessary to place another upper piece that gives additional resistance to the tray but makes the final support more expensive. Even so, there are times when this top piece is not enough to provide the necessary rigidity to the tray that must withstand torsional stresses and
flexion.

Also, the previous tray does not present ventilation channels, so a part of the contour of the products deposited in it are not in direct contact with the air, which makes conservation difficult.

All the above problems remain overcome by the invention that now proceeds to describe.

Description of the invention

The present invention relates to a tray with alveoli that allows to accommodate different objects in it to be placed on large surface shelves for the user can dispose of them or can be shown to the public.

The tray of the present invention is constituted from a single sheet of corrugated cardboard that It has folding lines and holes that define the alveoli in which the elements that are going to be are housed transported and displayed on it.

The cardboard sheet is essentially rectangular  and has at least three parallel folding lines that allow constitute a tray that has a cross section with the minus a triangular zone, joining two of the non-contiguous sections of the cardboard sheet defined between the folding lines, or between a fold line and one of the edges of the sheet.

In at least one of the sections defined between the folding lines, there is at least one hole that defines a alveoli where the objects to be transported are placed or displayed in the tray.

In this way, a tray is constituted with alveoli that is stable against bending and twisting efforts that can be generated during handling and that presents a structure that determines ventilation channels defined by the interior of triangular areas.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the foregoing, the The present invention relates to a tray with alveoli that allows to accommodate different objects (8) to be placed in shelves of large surfaces so that the user can arrange of them or can be shown to the public.

The tray of the present invention, shown in  Figure 1 is constituted from a single sheet (1) of rectangular corrugated cardboard that has six fold lines (2) parallels that allow to constitute a tray that presents a cross section with two triangular zones (3), joining the minus one of the sections (4) ends of the sheet (1) to the section (5) intermediate, so that the other end section (4) joins the first (4), where the sections (4, 5) are defined between two fold lines (2), or between a fold line (2) and the edges of the sheet (1).

The triangular zones (3) are shaped like right triangle and are faced by the respective hypotenuses.

In the sections adjacent to the sections (4) extremes, there are holes (6) that define a socket where objects (8) that are to be transported or shown in the tray.

In the sections adjacent to the intermediate section (5)  there are two holes (7) that allow you to grab the tray for transport.

In another embodiment of the tray, shown in Figure 3, this presents a single rectangular triangular zone (3) formed from a sheet (1) with three lines (2) of folding, where the sections (4) ends join each other and one of the intermediate sections (5) have at least one hole (6).

In another embodiment it has two zones (3) triangular triangles, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, where the sections (4) ends can be joined to the section (5) intermediate, or join together forming the adjacent sides of both rectangular triangular zones (3) respectively, which are They are faced by one of the legs.

Also, the tray can present several triangular zones (3), in symmetrical configuration with respect to their central point that is defined by the union of the sections (4) ends of the sheet (1) to the intermediate section (5), where between each two triangular zones (3) on the same side of the central point exist a secondary section (9) that is attached to the intermediate section (5).

The triangular zones (3) are shaped like right triangle and are faced by the respective hypotenuses in symmetrical configuration with respect to their central point.

In the previous embodiments, the unions between sections are carried out by adhesive.

They do not alter the essentiality of this invention variations in materials, shape, size and arrangement of component elements, described in a non-limiting manner, sufficient this one to proceed to its reproduction by an expert.
