Description

Device to cover the mouth of a box.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a device for covering the mouth of a box.

Starting from this objective, the new device to cover the mouth of a box is intended to cover the mouth of a box, especially the mouth of boxes made of cardboard.

Background of the invention

At present, the boxes that contain fruits and / or vegetables that are in the market, have the mouth open without any protection towards the product it contains, or they have the mouth covered with some element that protects the contents of the box, that element can be a plastic mesh, for a box made of plastic or, in the case that the box is made of wood it can also be covered by a removable piece of wood.

These elements to cover a box, are not reusable since they are part of the box and to open the mouth of the box it is necessary to break them, as is the case of the plastic mesh, or it is the end user who disassembles the lid and dispose of it, being removed to a recycling plant or landfill.

The applicant of the invention is the holder of utility model number U 201130954, which discloses a label to differentiate the contents of a box, this label being determined by a base sheet body.

In order to allow the use of a lid for fruit boxes that cover the content and contribute image to the container, the object of the invention arises, so that the contents of the box are protected and can also be used as an element of gripping the box, as it provides a firm and secure support for the transport of the box.

Description of the invention

To avoid the aforementioned drawbacks and achieve the aforementioned objectives, the invention discloses a device for covering the mouth of a box comprising a flat laminar body, with said flat laminar body comprising a central body, at least four extensions of the central body, and at the minus four bending lines, in correspondence with the extensions.

In the device object of the invention, the extensions are folded by means of the bending lines with respect to the flat sheet body and are introduced into holes made on the sides of the box, the device thus being fixed to the box.

The central body of the device object of the invention is rectangular in shape, comprising two major sides and two minor sides, and the extensions are located on the major sides of the central body.

The central body of the device object of the invention is rectangular in shape, comprising two major sides and two minor sides, and the extensions are located on the minor sides of the central body.

The central body of the device object of the invention comprises a solid perimeter, a solid central zone, and two hollow lateral zones, which comprise at least one solid brace that joins the bending line with a geometric center of the central body.

The central body of the device comprises flanges located on the perimeter that are located in recesses made in the box.

In the device for covering the mouth of a box the extensions comprise at one end two side tabs, which, with the extensions introduced in the holes of the box prevent the device from being removed from the box.

The device for covering the mouth of a box comprises at least one identifier in the central area of the central body.

The device to cover the mouth of a box is made of cardboard

Description of a preferred embodiment

The device (1) object of the invention is intended to cover the mouth of a box (2) of those commonly used for the transport and storage of fruits.

The device (1), in the preferred embodiment of the invention is made of cardboard, and comprises a laminar body (3), which is placed on the box (2) in correspondence with the mouth of the box (2).

The laminar body (3), in the preferred embodiment of the invention, comprises a rectangular central body (4), since it adapts to a box (2) with said rectangular shape, with two major sides and two minor sides. The laminar body (3) also comprises extensions (5) perpendicular to the two major sides of the rectangular central body (4).

The extensions (5) are linked to the rectangular central body (4) by means of bending lines (6), which allow the extensions (5) to be placed by folding them 90º over the bending lines (6), with respect to the central body ( 4) rectangular.

To link the device (1) object of the invention with the box (2), firstly the laminar body (3) is placed on the mouth of the box (2), the extensions (5) are folded and placed by the outside of the box (2), introducing said extensions (5) into holes (7) made in the box (2).

The central body (4) of the device (1) object of the invention comprises:

-

a perimeter (9) that is solid,

-

 a central area (10) also solid,

-

lateral areas (11) located on the sides of the central area (10) comprising die cuttings (14), which give rise to at least one solid strut (12), said strut (12) joins the bending line (6) ) with the geometric center of the central body (4).

The central body (4) also includes flanges (15) located on the perimeter (9), located on the sides that do not comprise the extensions (5), which when placing the device in the mouth of the box (2) are located in some recesses (16) of the box (2) so that it collaborates in the location of the device (1) on the mouth of the box (2).

The extensions (5) comprise at the end that is inserted in the holes (7) of the box (2) two side tabs (8), which when introduced into said holes (7) prevent the device (1) object of The invention is disassembled from the box (2).

The braces (12) transmit the stresses generated by lifting the box (2) by pulling from the device (1) object of the invention, said stresses are generated in the extensions (5) introduced in the holes (7) and transmitted to the central central area (10) of the central body (4).

Also, in an alternative embodiment, the device (1) comprises in the central area (10) at least one identifier (13), such as a barcode, magnetic identification or conventional reading.

The invention should not be limited to the particular embodiments described herein. Experts in the field can develop other embodiments in view of the description made here. Accordingly, the scope of the invention is defined by the following claims.
