Abstract

Container for the transport of merchandise, characterized in that it is formed by a single flat laminated sheet of plastic polymeric material, composed of a base (1, 30) joined to a pair of front ends (3, 32) and a pair of sides ( 2, 31), where the sides (2, 31) and ends (3, 32) are joined together by means of joining elements, the container defining a mounting position and a disassembly position, where additionally: Each end piece (3, 32) comprises an inner sheet (8, 39) and an outer sheet (9, 38) joined together through a joining area (10, 40), the outer sheet being (9, 38) attached to the base (1, 30) of the container and the inner sheet (8, 39) attached to an upper edge of the outer sheet (9, 38), Wherein each inner sheet (8, 39) comprises at its upper edge a central tab (12, 41), so that the inner sheets (8, 39) are configured to bend towards the inside of the container introducing the central tab (12, 41) in a corresponding groove (13, 47) located at a lower edge of the front walls (3, 32), trapping the connecting elements between the inner faces of the outer (9, 38) and inner (8, 39) sheets.

exterior (9). Therefore, these extreme portions (5) and this area (6) are the means of joining the sides (2) to the ends (3).

The heads (3) are formed by an inner sheet (8) and an outer sheet (9), so that the inner sheet (8) is folded over the outer sheet (9) and into the container, defining an edge upper (10). The inner sheet (8) is subdivided into a first section (11), a second section (15), a third section (17) and a fourth section (17), all of them joined together as shown in the figure 1. The length of the first section (11) is slightly shorter than the length of the corresponding edge of the base (1) of the container. The first section (11) has a central flange (12) and two side tabs (14) that are inserted into the corresponding slots (13) in the corresponding grooves (13) made in the fold line of the tester (3) with the base (1). The first section (11) of the package also comprises two tabs (18), located in correspondence with the side tabs (14) and facing them, which in the folded position of the container will serve to, by interacting with other existing tabs in the sides (2), keep said container in its folded position. The third sections (16) define tabs (19) punched into the third sections themselves (16), so that when the sections (15, 16, 17) that make up the inner sheet (8) are folded, they protrude from said sheet . These tabs (19) will fit into grooves (20) existing on the sides (2) helping to keep the container in its assembled position.

On the other hand, the sides (2) have vertical grooves (21) in their central area that define a portion (22) that bends towards the inner side of the side itself (2) where it is fixed. These slots (21) define a folding line of this portion. In addition, the vertical slots (21) define tabs (22) that interact with the tabs

(19) of the fourth sections (16) when the package is folded and which act as retention elements keeping the package folded.

In addition, the container has holes like handles (24) in the outer sheets (9) of the heads (3) and aeration holes (25) in the folding areas between the sides (2) and the base ( one).

Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the assembled container. It is clearly seen how the first section (11) of the inner sheet (8) acts as the inner wall of the container while the second (15), third (16) and fourth (17) sections are arranged creating a tubular structure of triangular section which acts as structural reinforcement of the container. Additionally, the base (1) has retention tabs (26) located in proximity to each of the corners of the base. These tabs (26), punched into the base itself (1) of the container, will be pushed out of the container space of the container so that, when the package is stacked, said tabs

(26) prevent lateral displacement. Figure 6 shows a perspective view of the bottom face of the base with the retention tabs (26) deployed.

Figure 3 shows in detail the said tubular structure next to the joint between the flange (19) of the third section (16) with the groove (20) on the side (2). Note that the side flange (18) of the first section (11) is not shown for simplification of the figure since the object thereof is to show the assembly of the inner sheet (8) of the heads (3). It is clearly seen how the second section (15) bends outwards (with respect to the plane of the first section (11)) and is oriented towards the side (2) of the container. The third section (16) bends parallel to the side (2) and the fourth section (17)

particular embodiment, the corresponding side tabs (14) and the corresponding grooves (13) will be optional by having the retaining elements (49). In addition, the retention tabs (26) will be equally optional as the support elements themselves

(48) would retain the container against lateral displacements. In any case, it has

5 provided that the package can have the support elements (48) and retention tabs (26) to increase safety against such displacements. Similarly, the package can have the side tabs (14) and their grooves

(13) corresponding and simultaneously of the retention elements (49) for

Increase safety against disassembly of the container. In its folded position the 10 retention elements (49) would be hidden under the sides (2) and pockets (3).

For the package object of the present invention in any of its preferred embodiments, it is provided that the material from which the package is manufactured is made of a plastic polymer and more preferably of corrugated polypropylene. Further,

15 It has also been foreseen that in order to prevent the entry into waste sockets or grooves, very desirable in packages that will be used for the transport and storage of food, the edges of the sheet constituting the container may be sealed, by pressing or deformation.
