DESCRIPTION

CONDITIONED CONDITIONER FOR BOTTLES CONFORMED FROM A SHEET OF

CARTON TROQUELADA AND CUT

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

It is the object of the present invention, as the title of the invention establishes, a protected conditioner for bottles formed from a sheet of cardboard cut and cut, by means of conditioner a set that allows housing inside bottles for better transport , the conditioner being protected against bumps and drops on all possible faces, on its front, side and rear.

The present invention characterizes the special configuration and design of the cardboard sheet used for the final conformation of the conditioner, in which a simple assembly provides a conditioner that houses inside bottles protecting them against bumping between them, which has means of holding the bottles and where the conditioner also has means of protection against bumps and drops based on the provision of a series of emerging eyelashes that protect all sides of the conditioner.

Therefore, the present invention is limited within the scope of the bottle containers and in particular the conditioners that protect and hold the bottles inside.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Conditioners for bottles such as those described in different patents are known in the state of the art. Among them, the conditioner described in the patent FR2769892, in which it discloses a conditioner formed from a single cardboard sheet duly stamped and cut, which defines three separate spaces for three bottles within a single enclosure, where the Central bottle is visible and held by its neck.

Although said conditioner fulfills the purpose of housing three bottles inside so as to avoid knocking between them and also let you know which bottles are contained in it, since at least the central area of one of the bottles is visible, There are aspects that can be improved, mainly in terms of content protection and simplification of the assembly.

On the one hand, the inner fastening of each bottle in the individual space defined in the conditioner; In addition, in said patent the central bottle is not securely held and it can leave the space where it is housed and finally the assembly as a whole lacks means of protection against external shocks on any of the faces of the conditioner.

Therefore, it is the object of the present invention to develop a conditioner for bottles that improves the aforementioned aspects, developing a conditioner like the one described below with a specific design and that allows a simple assembly, defining the essence thereof in the revindication first.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The subject matter of the present invention relates to a protected conditioner for bottles that is formed from a single cut and cut sheet, so that when folded it defines three individual spaces separated from each other, housing at least one bottle in each space , leaving the interior, at least the central space visible from the outside, where the conditioner has fastening means for each bottle in the space where it is housed, upper and lower fastening means for the central body and means of protection against blows and falls of the conditioner on any of its faces.

The conditioner is formed from a single sheet comprising a central element from which a first and a second set of three consecutive sections emerge laterally joined by folding lines and topped by a closing flap, so that they allow the formation of a closed space on its four sides.

Perforated flaps emerge from the upper edge of the central element that hold the neck of the bottles, while from the lower edge of the same two consecutive sections emerge separated by a folding line, where the first section allows the bottom or floor to be formed and the second stretch allows

form the front closure on the bottom of the conditioner.

The sheet includes a series of cuts that when forming the conditioner generate eyelashes that protrude in the three steering axes in order to protect the bottles from bumps and falls.

The protection of the conditioner is carried out by means of flange-like projections and protect both the back and side sides, the front and the top. The bottom of the conditioner has no protrusion since it would affect the stability of the conditioner.

The characteristics of the sheet used to form the conditioner allow, on the one hand, to improve the hold of each bottle in its individual space. They also improve the support of the central bottle, which despite being visible from the outside is attached to the neck and locked at the top and bottom. Finally, the conditioner is protected against impacts on the three steering axes, which results in a much safer conditioner.

Throughout the description and the claims the word "comprises" and its variants are not intended to exclude other technical characteristics, additives, components or steps. For those skilled in the art, other objects, advantages and characteristics of the invention will be derived partly from the description and partly from the practice of the invention.

DETAILED EXHIBITION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

A preferred embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the figures.

Figure 1 shows the sheet used to form a conditioner with the advantages shown. Said sheet, as can be seen, comprises a central element (1) with a first set (2) of three consecutive sections of lateral extensions emerging from one side, while from the opposite side a second set (3) of three consecutive sections of lateral extensions

The first set (2) of three consecutive sections comprises a first section (2.1), followed by a second section (2.2) or intermediate section, in turn followed by a third section (2.3) which at its free edge has a flange of glued (2.4).

The second set (3) of three consecutive sections comprises, a first section (3.1), followed by a second section (3.2) or intermediate section, which is followed by a third section or final section (3.3) that presents its free edge a glue flange (3.4).

From the upper edge of the central element (1) three perforated flaps (4) of equal or slightly smaller dimensions emerge from the free gap defined by each of the sets of three consecutive sections of lateral extensions.

Said perforated flaps (4) have a central perforation (4.1) and a circular crown (4.2) arranged around the central perforation (4.1) and which has a series of radial cuts (4.3) so that the circular crown (4.2) It is divided into crown sectors (4.4) so that when the neck of the bottle is passed through the central perforation, the flaps as crown sectors (4.4) retain the bottle neck centered.

Extensions (4.5) can emerge from the upper edge of the perforated flaps (4).

From the lower edge of the central element (1) emerges a section that acts as a bottom (5) of the conditioner and which is followed by a second section that serves as a frontal closure (6) of the conditioner, which is wider than the bottom section (5) and lateral projecting flanges (6.1) and in its central part several grooves (6.2).

In the folding line between the bottom section (5) and the front closing section (6) there are some grooves (5.1) used to house and serve to close each of the prismatic conformations defined by the housing of the flanges ( 2.2.1) and (3.2.1) that emerge from the lower edge of each of the second sections (2.2) and (3.2) respectively.

In the line of folding between the central section (1) and the first section of the sets of lateral extensions there is a series of crenellated cuts, so that when folding both parts are defined tabs (7) used to protect the conditioner of blows and coffees.

In the folding line between the second section (2.2) or (3.2) or intermediate sections and the third section (2.3) or

(3.3) there are also several cuts that define an upper flange (8), an intermediate flange (9) and a lower flange (10) having a harpoon shape.

The upper flange (8) acts as a spacer or protector of the conditioner on the front, as can be seen in figures 3 and 4. The intermediate flange (9) limits the movement of the bottle in its intermediate housing and the lower flange (10) protects against bumps in its front part and having the shape of a harpoon and through the grooves (6.2) of the front closure (6) allows to retain and fix said frontal closure.

The intermediate sections (2.2) and (3.2) of the lateral extension sets are extended outwards by means of a flap (11) that is above the third section (2.3) and (3.3) respectively, so that overlays act as a closing means of the conditioner and the intermediate space defined to contain the central bottle inside the conditioner.

Figure 2 shows the forming procedure of the conditioner, where the glue flaps

(2.4) and (3.4) stick against the back of the conditioner, allowing to form as hollow towers inside which the bottles are housed.

The flanges (7) provide protection against impacts from the back and sides, the flanges (8) and (10) protect the conditioner from frontal shocks, the flanges (2.2.1) and (3.2.1) protect the conditioner on the underside, that is, at its base, while the flaps (11) protect the bottles at the top. Therefore, the conditioner is protected on all six faces.

Figure 3 shows the conditioner before folding the perforated flaps (4) to hold the bottles by the necks, while Figure 4 shows the conditioner with said folded flaps, acting as a centering and holding means for the bottles, to avoid the coffee from the bottles at the top.

Therefore, the described features provide a bottle conditioner with means of protection against blows in its three directions, that is, against blows on its back, on its sides, on its front, on its base or support and on its upper part, in addition to securing the bottles within the defined space for each of them, avoiding the unwanted exit of them.

A conditioner is also provided which is very easy to shape, particularly because it is mounted by gluing the closing flaps and inserting the flanges into the corresponding grooves, which simplifies assembly mainly to people not used to working with packaging. .

Having described the nature of the present invention as well as the way of putting it into practice, it is noted that within its essentiality it may be Nevada to practice in other modes of realization different in details of the one described as an example to those reached also the protection that is collected as long as it does not alter, change or modify its fundamental principle.
