Description

DESCRIPTION

Decorative device for cardboard or plastic boxes

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention relates to a decorative device for cardboard or plastic boxes, and more specifically for boxes of the type open at the top, in order to define a kind of overhang or canopy over one of the edges of the mouth of the box that allow the inclusion of information, decorative, commercial motifs, etc.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive accessory, based on a multi-layer part, which can be easily and stably implanted in boxes of the type described above.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the preferred field of application of the invention, that of fruit and vegetable product packaging, it is common for said products to be displayed in prismatic rectangular plastic or cardboard boxes or trays, open at the top, so that although said boxes could present information about the product contained within on its side walls, these boxes or trays are usually stacked laterally with each other, so that their side walls are hidden by the adjacent boxes, having to resort to independent posters that are arranged on the product, the which are susceptible to being dislodged very easily, signs that are normally used exclusively to indicate the prices of the products, but not to display commercial information, decorative motifs, etc.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The decorative device for cardboard or plastic boxes that is recommended resolves in a fully satisfactory way the aforementioned problems, based on a simple but effective solution.

To do this, and more specifically, the device of the invention is constituted from the development of a die-cuttable multilayer piece in which a rectangular main sector is defined, which will determine the roof or visible surface that is flush with the edge of one of the walls of the box at the level of its mouth, a rectangular sector that subsequently extends into a second rectangular sector, intended to rest on the inner face of the wall of the box on which the device is applied.

Two fins emerge laterally from the main rectangular sector, which in turn extend along one of its sides in a flange through which they are linked to the second rectangular sector, specifically to an extreme straight triangular sector provided in correspondence with its ends, to which they are fixed by means of adhesive, presenting said sector a fold line in correspondence with its hypotenuse, which allows the device to be folded in an inoperative situation, presenting a minimum volumetric occupation, flattened, while, when it is intended to implant the device on one of the sides of the mouth of the box in question, the device can be easily unfolded forming a straight dihedral with its two rectangular sectors, which is closed on both sides by means of the set of tabs and fins described above, an element that will fit snugly to the inner contour of the mouth of the box, defining a narrow canopy ideal for the inclusion of ornamental motifs, advertising, information, etc.

In accordance with another of the characteristics of the invention, it has been provided that the second rectangular sector has a formal and dimensionally appropriate die-cut for the window or handle of the box on which it is applied, in order to prevent it from affecting the portable character. of the box, punching that can be complete (empty) or partial, that is to say, affect only three of the four sides of the window, so that said sector can be folded through the handle, either up or down , and therefore provide an extra element of stabilization for the device with respect to the box.

In this sense, when the boxes are made of plastic, in which the walls include grids, the lateral fins of the device can be subsequently extended into appendages that insert the corresponding holes in the grid, further increasing the stability of the device in the set of box.

In accordance with a variant embodiment of the invention, provision has been made for the tabs that are arranged under the first rectangular sector to extend along their internal sides in projections that are inserted into openings made on said rectangular sector at line level folding of this with the second rectangular sector.

This ensures that once the device is unfolded it does not tend to its original folded position.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the figures outlined, it can be seen how the device of the invention is constituted from the development of a die-cuttable multilayer piece in which an essentially rectangular main sector (1) is defined, which will determine the roof or visible surface that is flush with the edge of one of the walls of the box (2) at the level of its mouth, although its free edge (3) could have a contour according to different design lines, a rectangular sector that is subsequently extended by a second rectangular sector (4), intended to rest on the inner face of the wall of the box on which the device is applied.

Well, laterally from the essentially rectangular main sector (1), two fins (5) emerge, which in turn extend along one of its sides in a flange (6) through which they are linked to the second rectangular sector (4), specifically to a right triangular sector (7) provided in correspondence with its ends, to which they are fixed by means of adhesive, said sector presenting a folding line (8) in correspondence with its hypotenuse, which allows the device to be folded and stacked in an inoperative situation, whereas, as shown in figure 3, when the device is intended to be implanted on one of the sides of the mouth of the box (2) in question, the device can be easily unfolded forming a laterally closed straight dihedral, which fits snugly on the mouth of the box at the level of one of its sides and resting tight and partially on the two adjoining sides, all of which defines a narrow ideal roof for the i Inclusion of ornamental motifs, advertising, information, etc.

In order to improve the stability of the device, it has been planned that it adapts to the length of the side of the box that has the corresponding windows acting as handles, counting for this the second rectangular sector (4) with a die-cut ( 9) in the form of said window determining the handle, die-cut which in the chosen embodiment is partial, defining a folding line (10) for said die-cut that allows it to be introduced through the handle of the box, giving greater stability to the whole, although it could be a complete emptying, or the fold line should be arranged at the opposite end, that is to say that said die-cut can be folded either up or down through the window of the handle.

As for the folding lines that are defined between the essentially rectangular main sector (1) and the rectangular sector (4) and the fins (5), these could present small partial "U"-shaped cutouts that in the folded of these elements determine emerging sectors of said edge or fold area, determining means of stabilization.

As shown in figure 2, when the device is intended to be implanted in boxes made of plastic, in which the walls include grids, the lateral wings (5) of the device can be extended posteriorly in protruding appendages (11), intended to be inserted into the corresponding holes in the grid next to the vertical edges of the box, further increasing the stability of the device.

It should be noted that the tabs (6) could have their free vertex (which is not affected by the gluing area), rounded, in order to prevent it from damaging the fruit contained in the box.

In the variant of the practical embodiment of figures 5 and 6, provision has been made for the flanges (6) to extend along their internal sides in projections (12) that are inserted into openings (13) made in the rectangular sector (1 ) at the level of the folding line of the latter with the second rectangular sector (4).

This solution offers an additional benefit and that is that while in the first two embodiment variants, when you unfold the device to place it, it tends to the original folded position, forcing the user to have to use both hands to keep the device formed. With this last embodiment, this is not necessary, since when the device is unfolded, the projections (12) are inserted into the openings (13) and the device is perfectly stabilized in the armed position.
