Description

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a compartmentalizer that can be integrated into cardboard boxes, the compartmentalizer being provided to be fixed inside the box and determine therein several usable compartments to independently house as many other containers, specifically bottles, in order that they The latter remain independent of each other and thereby avoid breaking them in the normal manipulations to which the box will be subjected, in particular during transport.

The object of the invention is to achieve a structurally simple, single piece compartmenter, fixed to the box in the latter's own forming operation, the compartment being deployable together with said box at the time of its use. All this is done with a structuring that in the process of manufacturing the compartmentalizer, specifically in the die cutting phase, facilitates the ejection of the machine, and once mounted on the corresponding box prevents clinking between bottles, preventing the collision of some against others.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

It is common for glass bottles containing wine and other beverages to be sold properly packed in cardboard boxes, in which

Inside there is a compartment that defines in the box spans

receptacles or compartments to house the bottles. A common case is one in which the box is capable of receiving or containing six bottles in as many compartments defined by a compartmentalizer.

Well, it is known that the compartmentalizers must be foldable, so that in an inoperative situation they determine a minimum volumetric occupation, there are two basic solutions, one in which the compartmenter constitutes a physically independent element of the box and is introduced within it at the appropriate time, and in another solution the compartmentalizer is fixed to the box by means of adhesive, constituting a folding and folding element together with said

In the second type or solution of the compartmentalizer, it is usually formed by at least two pieces that must be mounted together and then mounted on the body of the box, so that in an automated process of assembly of this type of boxes With compartmentalizers, five operational phases or assembly stages are normally defined, which obviously implies a complexity that would be desirable to simplify.

In this sense, a compartment or box can be integrated in cardboard boxes, which comes to solve the problem described above, based on the fact that the compartment itself is constituted by a rectangular piece of cardboard, with two marginal folding lines that define fins of adaptation to the body of the box, and establishing in said piece of cardboard three sectors in addition to the aforementioned fins, and whose sectors are determined by imaginary folding lines, as well as cutting lines, such that that compartmentalizer with the lines of folding and cutting, it defines a structure in which the upper and lower marginal areas of the cardboard piece are non-deformable and extend between the opposite side walls of the box, to which they adapt by means of the extreme fins, while at medium level in height two parts capable of tilting 90 ° are defined through the mentioned folding lines , and of configuring two partitions perpendicular to the general plane of the base piece already adaptable to the other two side walls of the box through their respective fins, all in virtue of the fact that in the original cardboard sheet there is a cutting line in the intermediate sector that runs between two cutting lines, one upper and one lower, so that in the folding and unfolding the corresponding sectors originate and ultimately the compartmentalization for the reception of the different bottles inside the box.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The compartmentalizer that is recommended, based on the fact of being constituted from a single piece or sheet of cardboard, and present transverse fold lines and close to two of the edges to define adaptation fins, by folding them opposite, to the different walls of the box, and also presented cross-sectional lines to those extreme fold lines, presents a series of particularities that simplify the manufacturing process, and also makes it possible to have bottles in the compartments with necks of height greater than traditional bottles, also having a recess in one of its edges to define the position in which the sheet must adapt and be fixed to the corresponding machine, so that the operator who then has to glue the compartment into the box does it without position errors .

Longitudinal cutting lines define two sectors

ends and an intermediate sector, although it is divided into two equal parts by an intermediate interruption in said central sector, with the special feature that the cuts are convergent inwards and at their internal end it is continued, transversely, that is to say orthogonally , in folding sections to form or position the intermediate and equal parts caused by the longitudinal cuts, transversely to the corresponding or delimited end sectors between the free edge and longitudinal and convergent cuts inward.

Another feature is that in one of the extreme sectors, specifically in its central area, a "U" fin or appendix is provided, which allows bottles with a larger neck than the traditional ones.

In the structuring of the compartmentalizer the central sectors, that is to say the two intermediate parts and separated from each other, do not touch, that is to say that there is no friction between them and allow their assembly without breakage of the cardboard, since there is only friction in the lower part corresponding to the horizontal plane that is defined with the lower major sector.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical implementation thereof, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. In an illustrative and non-limiting manner, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows the development in plan corresponding to the cardboard sheet from which the compartmentalizer is obtained

integrable in cardboard boxes, according to the object of the invention.

Figure 2.- Shows a perspective representation of the compartmentalizer in its operative position.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

As can be seen in the aforementioned figures, and in relation specifically to Figure 1, it can be seen how the compartmentalizer is obtained from the development of a cardboard sheet in which in proximity and parallel to two of the extreme edges thereof , two fold lines (1) are provided, which in each case are divided into three flaps, two ends (2) and one intermediate (3), and whose flaps are delimited by respective cut lines (4).

Said cutting lines (4) are an extension of longitudinal cutting lines (5), which run from the fold line (1) on either side, converging inwards, as shown in Figure 1 itself, whose cut lines (5) establish two longitudinal sectors (6 and 7) and an intermediate sector formed by two equal parts (8), as a consequence of which this intermediate sector has a central interruption and corresponds to the reference (9).

The sector (6) has an appendix or flap (10) centrally, while the sector (7), in correspondence with its edge, has a recess (11).

The inner end of the longitudinal and convergent cuts

(5) continue in two bending sections (12) that are orthogonal to the

cuts (5), all in such a way that the constitutive sheet of the compartmentalizer thus structured is fixed during the manufacturing process

or die cutting of the box in the own sheet constituting the box itself, so that both folding and simultaneous unfolding of box and compartmentalizer can be carried out, and thus establish the different compartments for the bottles inside the box.

That is to say that by means of the fins (2 and 3), the compartmenter adapts inside the box, and is perfectly stabilized in it by pressing these fins (2) on two of the opposite walls of the box and by pressing the fins (3) in the other two walls interspersed between the previous ones and also opposite each other, while the sectors (6 and 7), in combination with the sectors (8) and logically with the fins or flaps previously mentioned (2 and 3), they form the different compartments inside the box, for the reception of as many bottles, these being independent from each other without the possibility of moving and colliding with each other.

The appendix or flap (10) allows bottles to be arranged inside the compartments with necks longer than conventional or traditional bottles, while the special configuration of the compartmentalizer does not allow friction between the fins or flaps, which allows assembly without breakage of the cardboard.
