Description

Tray for fruit and vegetable products and Similar.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a tray, of the type used to store fruit and vegetable products and other similar products.

The object of the invention is to provide a tray that, in addition to its storage performance, offer advertising / informational support, sensitively visible.

It is also the object of the invention that the said support or supports also serve as a protective shield of the stored product, since this type of packaging is open superiorly.

Background of the invention

In the practical scope of the invention, countless types of trays are known for storage and sale of fruit and vegetable products, such as, for example, strawberries, which, although they have a perimeter surface around the mouth of the tray that is capable of carrying information or advertising, when stored or display said trays next to each other, the aforementioned information or advertising is no longer visible, except for the front face of the trays that are in the first line, in a way that the advertising or information established in the rest of the trays totally hidden, its function being impeded informative / advertising.

On the other hand, the fact that the Most of these types of products are usually very delicate, so that in the stack between boxes the weight of some can damage the content of those arranged below, since they do not have covers or similar elements, as these are not economically profitable

Description of the invention

The tray that the invention proposes resolves from the problem was fully satisfactory before exposed in the two aspects commented.

To do this, and more specifically, the tray that part of the structuring of a tray is recommended conventional, obtained from a die-cut sheet body, in which defines a central rectangular core, determinant of bottom of the tray, which extends through its major edges in both side sectors and by their edges in two sectors ends, determinants of respective tray walls, counting the lateral sectors with extreme fins that fold on respective extreme sectors to be fixed by adhesive, leaving the box armed, being able to count however said lateral sectors with longer extensions than bent over them act as reinforcement elements of the tray mouth, adopting a configuration inverted pyramidal trunk.

Well, from this structuring conventional, the tray of the invention centers its characteristics in the fact that at least one of its two extreme sectors is extends superiorly on a tongue, through a line of folded, preferably rounded contour to facilitate the stabilization of the same in two extreme positions, tongue that in mounting arrangement it will be significantly raised with with respect to the mouth of the tray, so that it constitutes a  Perfect surface for incorporating advertising or information, since, although the trays are arranged against others, both in the case of the trays arranged in the rows earlier as arranged in subsequent rows, said Tabs will be perfectly visible to consumers.

Although the fundamental object of the invention is provide easily visible advertising support in the mentioned trays, from the structuring of this one derives a additional advantage, as is the fact that the said tabs they can constitute, thanks to its folding line, a kind of shield that protects the contents of the tray, when folded towards the inside of it, avoiding in certain cases the deterioration of the product contained within it, and being stabilized thanks to said curved folding line configuration.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as an integral part of said description, a set of drawings where with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows a development in plant of a tray for fruit and vegetable products and the like made of according to the object of the present invention.

Figure 2.- Shows a perspective view of the tray of the previous figure properly assembled.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as the tray for fruit and vegetable products that the proposed invention is constituted from a laminar body (1), obtained by die cutting, in which a central core is defined (2), determinant of its lower base, which extends laterally by folding lines (3) in two lateral sectors (4) trapecial, determinants of the side walls of the tray, as well as by folding lines (5) in respective sectors ends (6), trapecial and of identical height to the previous ones, said sectors determining the end walls of the tray, of so that for the stabilization of the same, the sectors laterally extend laterally on respective fins that are fixed by gluing to the outer face of the end sectors (6), as can be seen in figure 2.

Also, said lateral sectors (4) incorporate upper extensions (8-8 ') of low height, which fold outwardly, determining a reinforcement for the mouth of the tray.

Well, as mentioned above, the essence of the invention is that at least one of the two extreme sectors (6) extends superiorly in a tongue (9), foldable through a folding line (10), preferably curved configuration, to facilitate assembly automatic tray, tongue (9) which, as can be seen in figure 2 it constitutes a prominent element with respect to the rest of the tray, defining an ideal surface for the inclusion of advertising or information, easily visible by consumers.

This tongue or tabs (9), thanks to the said folding line (10) can be folded into the heart of the tray, acting as product protection elements content inside.

Finally, it should be noted that, depending on the type of product to be stored, and as is also conventional, the tray may be affected by a series of recesses (11 and 12) established at the base level, in correspondence with the lines folding (3) and (5), for evacuation of water that could contain the stored product, as well as to allow ventilation of the product contained in the tray.

Claims (2)

1. Tray for fruit and vegetable products and the like, which being of the type constituted from a laminar body (1), obtained by die-cutting, in which a central core (2) is defined, determining its lower base, which is extends laterally by folding lines (3) in two trapecial side sectors (4), determining the side walls of the tray, as well as by folding lines (5) in respective end sectors (6), equally trapecial, that determine the end walls of the tray, laterally extending the lateral sectors in respective fins that are fixed to the outer face of the extreme sectors (6), characterized in that at least one of the extreme sectors (6) is extended superiorly in a tongue (9) , foldable through a folding line (10), preferably curved, formally and dimensionally suitable to form a support medium for information or advertising noticeably visible. 2. Tray for fruit and vegetable products and the like according to claim 1, characterized in that the tray is affected by a series of recesses (11 and 12) established at the level of its base, in correspondence with the folding lines (3) and (5) , for evacuation of liquids and ventilation of the contained product.
