Description

DESCRIPTION

BOX FOR FOOD PRODUCTS

Field of technique

The present invention concerns the field of containers formed from a flat die-cut plate and with some portions glued together, for the storage, transport and distribution preferably of food or other articles, comprising a first part in tray functions and a second part that it forms a removable lid, which is attached in a secure but easily removable way, covering and closing the tray.

Within the scope of this description, the term "cardboard" encompasses cardboard sheet, corrugated cardboard sheet, plastic sheet, corrugated plastic sheet, and featherboard sheet, among others.

State of the art

Patent GB825555A discloses a cardboard box consisting of a piece consisting of a base panel connected to end panels and side panels, the latter in turn comprising pairs of wings, which must overlap to be glued to the panels from the ends configuring a tray with a lid.

The object of this invention proposes a box that is formed by a tray with a removable lid that facilitates its further recycling by using ecological cardboard and biodegradable materials, reducing its environmental impact and allowing complete recycling after use. The invention involves an improvement in food trays that include sauces and / or liquids, since they do not spill as they have connections on the side flaps configured for this purpose.

Brief description of the invention

The box for food products that is the object of this utility model is formed according to a conventional structure by a tray and a lid made of cardboard. The tray comprises a rectangular base, for example, from which four opposite side walls derive two by two and are inclined uniformly in elevation at an angle of less than 90 °, said side walls being connected by weakened lines of connection to the base of the tray. In an exemplary embodiment, first side walls are of greater length and in the four corners there are connection flaps between said side walls also connected by weakened lines.

For its part, the cover comprises a rectangular central portion that has a window covered by a sheet of transparent material and from said central portion derive four side walls opposite two by two and inclined uniformly downward an angle of less than 90 °, with weakened lines connection and with connection flaps in the four corners, so that the tray and cover adopt a pyramidal trunk configuration.

In another example of embodiment, the tray could be frusto-conical and the cover could also be frusto-conical.

According to this invention, the box for food products proposed is characterized in that the side wall or walls of the tray, inclined / s, have in at least two opposite zones a respective appendix that protrudes from the upper edge of said wall or side walls. and in the lid the inclined side wall (s) has, in at least two opposite areas, elongated openings that allow the introduction of said appendices through it, determining an anchorage between tray and cover with this second one superimposed on the tray.

In this way, a box suitable for storing and transporting food products is obtained, advantageously made from ecological (recycled) cardboard with a transparent window to see the product and / or food inside the box, covered by a sheet of biodegradable cellulose acetate or other materials. equivalents. The aforementioned tray and box lid are coupled in a very stable and resistant way, generating a container especially suitable for the presentation of food products, facilitating their use preferably in food establishments, such as for fast food, events, meetings, or other means of sale or dispensing of food prepared in containers such as the boxes of the proposal being made with economic and ecological materials.

Detailed description of an exemplary embodiment

As seen in Figs. 1-6, the box 1 for food products that is the object of this utility model is formed according to a conventional structure by a tray 10 and a lid 20. The tray 10 comprises a rectangular base 11 from which four side walls 12 derive, 13, opposite two by two and inclined uniformly in elevation at an angle of less than 90 °, said side walls 12, 13 being connected by weakened lines 12a and 13a connecting to the base 11 of tray 10. The first side walls 12 are of greater length. In the four corners there are connection flaps 14 between said side walls 12, 13 also connected by weakened lines 14a.

The cover 20 comprises a rectangular central portion 21 having a window covered by a sheet of transparent material and from said central portion 21 derive four side walls 22, 23, opposite two by two and inclined uniformly in descent by an angle of less than 90 °, with weakened connection lines 22a, 23a and provided with connection flaps 24 at the four corners, so that tray 10 and cover 20 adopt a pyramidal trunk configuration.

The first and second connection flaps 14, 24 are adhered to the side walls 12, 13, 22, 23 of tray 10 and cover 20.

The connection flaps 14, 24 are continuous and adopt a pleated shape to be able to zigzag or accordion fold by weakened lines 14a and adhere to each other, or have separate portions with a weakened line 24a and a glued connecting flap, connecting the side walls 12, 13, 22, 23 of tray 10 and cover 20. See Figs. 1-2.

The box for food products of this invention is characterized in that the said side walls 13 present, according to an embodiment example, in two opposite zones, appendages 15 that protrude from their outer edge, prolonging them and in the lid 20 the inclined side walls 23 they have openings 25 in at least two opposite areas, so that they allow the introduction through the appendices 15 determining an anchorage between tray 10 and cover 20 with the latter superimposed on tray 10 due to the pyramidal trunk shape of the box 1 and facilitating both the arrangement of the lid 20 anchored to the tray 10 and covering it, as well as the separation of said lid 20, allowing free access to the interior of the tray.

In an embodiment, the tray 10 and / or the lid 20 has dimensions of 317mm long by 240mm wide with a height of 30mm.

In another example, the tray and / or cover are of a smaller size and specifically tray 10 and / or cover 20 have dimensions of 275mm long by 185mm wide with a height of 30mm.

In any case, other measures and configurations of the tray and lid can be implemented

The scope of the present invention is defined in the attached claims.
