Abstract

The invention relates to a folded box with an assortment insert. Both the folded box (10) and the assortment insert (11) are made of cardboard; the assortment insert (11) is made from a one-piece cardboard blank and is disposed in a lower part (12) of the box (10); this insert (11) divides the lower part (12) of the box into several filling chambers (13), these chambers (13) being delimited on the one hand by ribs (15) projecting upwards above of the bottom surface (14) of the insert (11) and on the other hand by transverse protuberances (16) which are formed by punching partly from the ribs (15) and partly from the zones ( 17) of the bottom surface (14) which are adjacent to the ribs (15), said protuberances being bent upwards.

Description

The present invention relates to a folded box made of cardboard and

  provided with an assortment insert, which is arranged in the lower part of the box and divides it into a plurality of filling chambers to prevent lateral displacement of the products to be packaged, the assortment insert being made

  from a single piece of cardboard

  to delimit the different filling chambers

  on the one hand, ribs formed by folding upwards with respect to the bottom surface of the assortment insert. A folded box of the type defined above is

  known from the patent FR-12 26 636.

  The assortment insert shown in this document is merely suitable for delimiting filling chambers between the ribs formed by folding upwards with respect to the bottom surface, but it is not possible to perform along these ribs, a division

  secondary in smaller filling chambers.

  Folded boxes are also known having formed matching inserts.

  of a plastic material and then the filling chambers

  ge are arranged, in correspondence with the shape of the products,

  as recesses in the insert of assortment

correspondingly.

  Folded boxes are also known to

  both assortment items produced in

  cardboard, these matching items being made

  crossed ribs, that is to say that, in these foldable boxes, the items of assortment are

made in several parts.

  The present invention aims to create a

  folded box of the type defined above which, while preserving

  advantage of an item of matching assortment

  environmentally friendly, of simple and inexpensive manufacture, furthermore offers the possibility of delimiting

  several filling chambers between ribs

mutually parallel.

  This problem is solved according to the invention in that the insert element for defining the filling chambers also has transverse protuberances also extending upwards over the bottom surface. of the assortment insert and formed by punching outwards from the ribs and also from

  a bottom surface area connecting to the ribs.

  A folded box of this kind can be manufactured in a total inexpensive manner, which also applies to the assortment item, which

  consists of a single piece of cardboard.

  In addition, a folded box of this kind, because it is

  made entirely of cardboard, is also particularly

  compatible with the environment and we obtain the advantage

  particular that filling chambers are

  mutually intertwined also in the areas between the ribs oriented mutually parallel. Because the assortment insert is made from a one-piece blank, this

  can, like the flan of the folded box, be trans-

  worn flat and in a particularly

  from the cartonboard factory to the packing plant

ge.

  The formatting of the add-on

  can be carried out, as well as the shaping of the

  folded box blank, with commercial machines.

  According to other features of the folded box according to the invention: the ribs and the transverse protuberances have in

  considering them in the longitudinal direction of the ribs

the same shape of straight section.

  Ribs and transverse protuberances have -

  considering them in the longitudinal direction of

  ribs shapes of different straight section.

  The ribs in the outer marginal area of the assortment insert are provided with a bonding surface and the set of the assortment insert is bonded via these bonding surfaces to the bonding surfaces. corresponding side walls of the

lower part of the box.

  Other features and advantages of the invention

  will be highlighted in the rest of the description,

  given by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a folded box according to the invention, in the open condition, Figure 2 shows a blank of a only piece arranged flat and used for making a matching insert, Figure 3 is a perspective view of the insert of Figure 2 after its shaping, Figure 4 is a partial sectional view taken along the line IV-IV of Figure 3, Figure 5 is a partial sectional view, comparable to Figure 4, a matching insert of corresponding item

  to another embodiment of the invention.

  The folded box shown in FIG. 1 and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 comprises an assortment insert 11, which is disposed in the

  lower portion 12 of the folded boot 10 and which is

  like the folded box, from a blank of a

single piece of cardboard.

  The lower part 12 of the folded box is divided by the insert of assortment 11 into several filling chambers 13 inside which products to be packaged, for example chocolate candies,

  are prevented from moving sideways.

  For the delimitation of the different filling chambers 13, on the one hand ribs 15 folded upwards with respect to the bottom surface 14 of the assortment insert 11 and on the other hand transverse protuberances 16 are provided. , which are punched from the ribs 15 and also from a zone 17, connecting to the ribs 15, of the bottom surface 15 and which are also folded upwardly above the surface

  bottom 14 of the assortment insert 11.

  As shown clearly in Figure 3, the nerves

  res 15 as well as the transverse protuberances 16 sepa-

  a bottom surface defining the size of a

  filling chamber 13 with respect to a filling chamber

  adjacent pleating 13 Corresponding products are maintained inside these filling chambers 13

  by the ribs 15 as well as by the transverse protuberances

  being prevented from moving and also being prevented from undesirably entering a

  filling chamber 13 adjacent.

  In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the ribs 15 have a cross-section of

  triangular shape, as well as the transverse protuberances

  16 which protrude from the ribs 15

than in height.

  In FIG. 5, it can be seen that the protuberances

  these transverse 16 may also have a profile other than the ribs 15; for example-the transverse protuberances 16 may have a cross section of rectangular shape Obviously it is also possible to give the ribs 15 a shape of cross section other

  than in the exemplary embodiments.

  The ribs 15, located in the lateral marginal area of the matching insert 11, are provided with a gluing surface 18 and the complete and shaped matching insert 11 is glued, by

  via said surfaces 18, on the side walls

  correspondingly 19 of the lower part 12 of the box and avoids ejection of the reported element

  assortment 11 of the lower part 12 of the box.

  In particular, FIG. 2 clearly shows that the transverse protuberances 16 are tapered on their upper side. This simply results from a pure choice.

  of form, which need not be necessary

  For technical reasons, the transversal protuberances

  Versales 16 can also be made simply with a constant width For reasons of aesthetics,

  it is also possible to choose other geometric shapes.

  for transverse protuberances 16 and, for example,

  ple it is possible also to give them a rounded profile.
