DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Container 1

1 indicates a child-resistant container for containing products which can be applied in all sectors that require, for safety reasons, the inhibition of the opening of the same container by children; for example, the container 1 can be used for containing: drugs, cosmetics, cleaning products (detergents for linen and dishes), food and tobacco-based products (cigars and cigarettes).

As visible from figures 2-6D, the container 1 comprises a warehouse 2 in sheet material, for example in paper material, defining a compartment 3 for housing at least one product. The warehouse 2 has a predetermined number of side walls 4 defining at least one opening 5 delimited by a free edge 6: the opening 5 is configured to allow the insertion and withdrawal of the product from the warehouse 2.

The magazine 2 can have a quadrangular prismatic shape as illustrated in the accompanying figures, while not excluding the possibility of making a magazine 2 having a different shape, for example square, trapezoidal or cylindrical. In detail, the magazine 2, in its quadrangular prismatic form, can comprise a front side wall 4a and a rear side wall 4b facing and parallel to each other: the front wall 4a and the rear wall 4b are connected to each other by means of a first and a second side wall 4c, 4d, also facing and parallel to each other. The front wall 4a is spaced from and opposite to the rear wall 4b; the first and second side walls 4c, 4d are also spaced apart and opposite each other. The ends of the front, rear and side walls (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d) define the opening 5, delimited by the free edge 6.

The warehouse 2 can also comprise a bottom wall having a rectangular shape and from which the side walls 4 and in particular the front wall 4a, the rear wall 4b and the first and second emerge, starting from a perimeter edge of the bottom wall. side part 4c, 4d. The magazine 2 therefore comprises a single opening 5 defined in opposition to the bottom wall. However, the possibility of making a magazine 2 having two or more openings 5 is not excluded.

The compartment 3 of the warehouse 2 can have a volume greater than 40 cm³, optionally greater than 100 cm³ depending on the products to be contained. For example, if the warehouse 2 is used to contain medium-sized products, the compartment 3 can have a volume between 800 and 1,400 cm³. For large products, compartment 3 can reach volumes greater than 10,000 cm³.

The container 1 also comprises a closure system 7 which can also be made of sheet material, for example paper, and engaged in the magazine 2 in particular at the free edge 6. The closure system 7 comprises a top wall 9 directly connected to the free edge 6 from which a predetermined number of side walls 10 emerge starting from a perimeter edge of the latter; the top wall 9 together with the side walls 10 delimit an internal volume configured to accommodate at least part of the warehouse 2. The predetermined number of side walls 10 of the closing system 7 defines a top opening delimited by a free edge 7a which is configured to allow passage of warehouse 2; in fact, the top opening is configured to put the internal volume of the closing system 7 in communication with the external environment, as well as to allow the insertion and removal of the warehouse 2 from said internal volume.

The closing system 7 and the magazine 2 are relatively movable with respect to each other, around the free edge of the magazine 6, at least between:

- a closing condition in which the closing system 7 itself prevents communication between compartment 3 of warehouse 2 and the external environment, and

- an opening condition in which the closing system 7 itself allows communication between compartment 3 and the external environment.

The relative movement between the closing system 7 and the warehouse 2 can be obtained by moving both parts, i.e. both the closing system 7 and the warehouse 2 or it can be obtained by moving only one of the parts: for example, it is possible to keep fixed the warehouse and only move the closing system relative to the warehouse, and vice versa.

In detail, the magazine 2, in the closed condition (schematized for example in Figures 3 to 6C), is arranged at least in part in the internal volume: the closing system 7, in this condition, prohibits the insertion and removal of products from the warehouse 2. In the open condition, the closing system 7 is always engaged to the warehouse 2 (in particular to the free edge 6) but arranged in such a way as not to obstruct the opening 5 as can be seen for example in Figure 2.

During the transition from the closed to the open condition, and vice versa, magazine 2 and closure system 7 are movable by rotation relative to each other: during this relative movement, the magazine 2 can be inserted into the internal volume of the closure 7 which is configured to be arranged, at least in the closure condition of the closure system 7, outside the warehouse 2.

The closing system has a structure at least partially counter-shaped to the warehouse 2 so that, in the closed condition, the closing system 7 is fitted externally to the warehouse 2. In detail, the closing system comprises at least a first and a second wall lateral 9c, 9d interconnected and joined in one piece to a front wall 9a: the first and second lateral walls 9c, 9d of the closing system 7 are spaced apart and opposite each other (they face each other). The front wall 9a is integrally joined to the first and second side walls 9c, 9d, as well as to the top wall to essentially define a lid hinged to the free edge 6 of the magazine 2. In the closed condition.

- the front walls 4a, 9a, respectively of the warehouse and of the closing system, face each other directly,

- the first side walls 4c, 9c, respectively of the warehouse and of the closing system, are directly facing each other,

- the second side walls 4b, 9d, respectively of the warehouse and of the closing system, face directly one to the other.

However, the possibility of providing a closure system 7 having a different shape, for example spherical, is not excluded.

In detail, the top wall 9 of the closing system has a rectangular shape (alternatively square) and from which the front wall 9a, the first lateral part 9c and the second emerge starting from a perimeter edge of the top wall 9 lateral part 9d also having a rectangular shape: the walls (front, top and side of the system 7 all have a rectangular or square shape). As can be seen for example in Figures 5 and 6D, the top wall 9 is configured to abut, in the closed condition, to the free edge 6 of the opening 5 to occlude the latter.

The container 1 illustrated in the accompanying figures has, in a non-limiting way, a single closure system 7 configured to cooperate with the single opening 5 of the store. As mentioned above, the possibility of providing two or more openings of the warehouse 2 and therefore an equal number of closing systems 7 configured to cooperate with each of said openings 5 is not excluded.

As mentioned above, the closing system 7 is counter-shaped to the warehouse 2. The counter-shaped configuration of the warehouse and closing system allows the side walls 10 of the closing system 7 to move (relatively) externally alongside the side walls 4 of the warehouse 2 during the passage from the open to the closed condition, and vice versa. To allow this relative movement, the closing system 7 has a slightly larger size than the magazine 2, sufficient to allow the latter to be inserted into the internal volume. In the closed condition, the closing system 7 is fitted externally to the magazine 2, wrapped around the side walls 4. The container 1 also comprises at least a first and a second safety device 11, 91 each of which comprises:

- at least a first coupling portion 12 carried by the closing system 7 and arranged at least in part in the internal volume,

- at least a second hooking portion 13 carried by the magazine 2 and arranged externally to the compartment 3.

The first and second coupling portions 12, 13, of each of said first and second safety devices 11, 91, in the closed condition of the magazine and locking system, are configured to engage stably with each other externally to the magazine 2 to define a locking condition of the first and second safety devices in which said first and second coupling portions 12, 13 prevent the magazine and the closing system 7 from passing from the closed to the open condition.

The accompanying figures show a non-limiting embodiment of the invention in which the first coupling portions 12 of the first and second safety devices 11, 91 are substantially identical; also the second coupling portions 13 of the first and second safety devices 11, 91 have been schematized as being substantially identical to each other. In the following description, reference will therefore be made to the first and second coupling portions 12, 13 belonging to both the first and the second safety device, or regardless of whether these portions are of the first safety device 11 or of the second safety device 91 .

The first coupling portion 12 is engaged with at least one side wall 10 of the closing system 7 and emerges in the internal volume in a direction entering the latter. The first hooking portion 12 comprises at least one tab 12a protruding from the side wall 10 to define an undercut delimited by at least one gripping edge 12b placed entirely in the internal volume, distinct from and spaced from the free edge 7a of the closing system 7. At least a portion of the gripping edge 12b is inclined with respect to the free edge 7a of the closing system 7 optionally by an angle comprised between 20 ° and 80 °, even more optionally by an angle comprised between 30 ° and 70 °. In detail, the tab 12a extends along a plane and faces directly the side wall 10 of the closing system 7 which directly bears the tab 12a; at least a part of the tongue 12a can be inclined with respect to the side wall 10 directly carrying said tongue by an angle of less than 40 °, optionally by an angle comprised between 1 ° and 30 °. The angle being measured between two directly facing surfaces of the tongue 12a and of the side wall 10 of the closing system 7 directly bearing (directly joined as a piece) said tongue 12a.

In the accompanying figures, a first hooking portion 12 (at least one tab 12a) has been shown directly joined in one piece to at least one side wall 10 by means of a bending edge to define a folded portion. In fact, the tab 12a is in one piece with a side wall 10 folded with respect to the latter in such a way that the tab 12a is at least partially overlapped and faces the side wall 10 to which said tab is directly connected (joined piece). In this configuration, the folding edge joining the tab 12a and the side wall 10 defines at least part of the free edge 7a of the closing system 7. Even if the tab 12a is joined in one piece to the side wall 10, only a part of this defines the undercut adapted to cooperate with the second hooking portion 13: the gripping edge 12b is distinct and spaced from the free edge 7a of the closing system 7.

In fact, the at least one tongue 12a of the first coupling portion 12 faces directly and entirely facing the side wall 10 of the closing system 7 directly bearing said tongue 12a: the tongue 12a is entirely superimposed on said side wall 10 of the closing system 7 directly joined in one piece to the tab 12, and spaced from the free edge 7a.

Obviously, the possibility of making a first hooking portion 12 of the first safety device 11 having a different shape and size with respect to the first portion of the second safety device 91 is not excluded.

The first safety device 11 can comprise at least one of:

- at least one of said first coupling portion 12 carried by the front wall 9a of the closing system 7,

- at least one of said first coupling portion 12 carried by the first side wall 9c of the closing system 7,

- at least one of said first coupling portion 12 carried by the second side wall 9d of the closing system 7.

In the accompanying figures a non-limiting configuration of the invention has been illustrated in which the first safety device 11 comprises:

- a first hooking portion 12 carried by the first side wall 9c of the closing system 7,

- a first hooking portion 12 carried by the second side wall 9d of the closing system 7.

The first coupling portion 12 carried by the first side wall 9c is arranged in correspondence with a first corner portion defined by the first side wall 9c and the front wall 9a while the first coupling portion 12 carried by the second side wall 9d is arranged in proximity of a second corner portion defined between the second side wall 9d and the front wall 9a.

The second safety device 91 can also comprise one or more first hooking portions 12 and in particular can comprise at least one of:

- at least one of said first coupling portion 12 carried by the front wall 9a of the closing system 7,

- at least one of said first coupling portion 12 carried by the first side wall 9c of the closing system 7,

- at least one of said first coupling portion 12 carried by the second side wall 9d of the closing system 7.

In the accompanying figures, a non-limiting configuration of the invention has been illustrated in which the second safety device 91 comprises exclusively a first coupling portion 12 carried by the front wall 9a of the closing system. This first coupling portion 12 carried by the front wall 9a is arranged in correspondence with a central (center line) portion of the front wall 9a, spaced from the first and second corner portions of the closing system 7. In fact, in the configuration illustrated in the together with the figures, the first safety device 11 has two first hooking portions 12 on the opposite side walls 9c and 9d while the second safety device 91 is only present on the front wall 9a with a first hooking portion 12.

The second hooking portion 13 is engaged in at least one side wall 4 of the warehouse 2 and emerges from the latter in a direction outgoing with respect to the compartment 3. The second hooking portion 13 comprises at least one panel 13a protruding from the side wall 4 to define an undercut delimited by at least one gripping edge 13b placed externally to the recess 3, distinct and spaced from the free edge 6 of the opening 5. The panel 13a has a substantially trapezoidal shape: in which the gripping edge 13b has at least a portion, optionally two portions, inclined with respect to the free edge 6 of the opening 5, optionally by an angle comprised between 20 ° and 80 °, even more optionally by an angle comprised between 30 ° and 70 °. In greater detail, the panel 13a has a substantially "V" shape whose concavity faces the free edge 6 of the magazine 2: the tip of the "V" shape faces the bottom wall. In detail, the panel 13a extends along a plane and faces directly the side wall 4 of the warehouse 2 which directly carries the panel 13a; the panel 13a can be inclined with respect to the side wall 4 directly bearing said panel 13a by an angle of less than 40 °, optionally by an angle made between 1 ° and 30 °. The angle is measured between two directly facing surfaces of the panel 13a and of the side wall 4 of the warehouse 2 directly bearing (directly joined as a piece) said panel 13a.

The second hooking portion 13 can be directly joined in one piece to at least one of said side walls 4 of the magazine 2 by means of a folding edge to define a folded portion. In this configuration, the panel 13a is in one piece with a side wall 4 and is folded with respect to the latter in such a way that the panel 13a is at least partially overlapped and faces the side wall 4 to which said panel 13a is directly connected (joined together). In this configuration, the folded edge joining the brush 13a and the side wall 4 defines at least part of the free edge 6 of the opening 5. Even if the panel 13a is integrally joined to the side wall 4, only a part of said panel 13a defines the undercut suitable for cooperating with the first hooking portion 12: the gripping edge 13b is always distinct and spaced (different) from the free edge 6 of the opening 5. In fact, in this configuration the at least one panel 13a of the second the hooking portion 13 is entirely facing directly to the side wall 4 of the warehouse 2 directly bearing said panel 13a: the panel 13a is entirely superimposed on the side wall 4 of the warehouse 2 directly joined in one piece to the panel 13a, and spaced from the free edge 6.

The second coupling portion 13 can be defined directly on the side wall 4 of the warehouse 2 and form at least part of said side wall 4. In detail, the panel 13a can be obtained by means of a through cut in the side wall 4 so as to that the panel 13a protruding with respect to said side wall can be extracted thereon as illustrated for example in figure 2. In this configuration, the panel 13 extends from the side wall 4, spaced from the free edge 6, moving away from the latter by an angle lower than 40 °, optionally comprised between 1 ° and 30 °, with respect to the side wall 4 from which the same panel 13a has been obtained.

Each second coupling portion 13 comprises one and only one panel 13a having a substantially trapezoidal or in any case pointed shape suitable for engaging with the first coupling portion 12.

Obviously, the possibility of making a second hooking portion 12 of the first safety device 11 having a different shape and size with respect to the second portion of the second safety device 91 is not excluded.

The first safety device 11 can comprise at least one of:

- at least one of said second coupling portion 13 carried by the front wall 4a of the warehouse 2,

- at least one of said second hooking portion 13 carried by the first side wall 4c of the magazine 2,

- at least one of said second coupling portion 13 carried by the second side wall 4c of the warehouse 2.

In the accompanying figures a non-limiting configuration of the invention has been illustrated in which the first safety device 11 comprises:

- a second hooking portion 13 carried by the first side wall 4c of the magazine 2,

- a second hooking portion 13 carried by the second lateral portion 4d of the magazine 2.

The second coupling portion 12 carried by the second side wall 4c is arranged in correspondence with a first corner portion defined by the first side wall 4c and the front wall 4a of the warehouse 2 while the second coupling portion 12 carried by the second side wall 4d it is arranged in proximity to a second corner portion defined between the second side wall 4d and the front wall 4a of the warehouse.

The second safety device 91 can also comprise one or more second hooking portions 13 and in particular it can comprise at least one of:

- at least one of said second coupling portion 13 carried by the front wall 4a of the warehouse 2,

- at least one of said second coupling portion 13 carried by the first side wall 9c of the magazine 2,

- at least one of said second hooking portion 13 carried by the second side wall 4d of the warehouse.

In the accompanying figures, a non-limiting configuration of the invention has been illustrated in which the second safety device 91 comprises exclusively a second coupling portion 13 carried by the front wall 4a of the warehouse 2. Said second coupling portion 13 carried by the front wall 4a is arranged in correspondence with a central (center line) portion of the front wall 4a, spaced from the first and second corner portions of the magazine.

In fact, in the configuration illustrated in the accompanying figures, the first safety device 11 has two second coupling portions 13 carried by the opposite side walls 4c and 4d of the magazine 2 while the second safety device 91 has only a second coupling portion 13 carried from the front wall 4a.

The hooking portion 13 carried by the front wall 4a (hence the second hooking portion 13 of the second safety device 91) is configured to engage stably, in the closed condition of the locking and storage system, to the first coupling portion 12 carried by the front wall 9a of the closing system 7 (hence the first hooking portion 12 of the second safety device 91). The second hooking portions 13 carried by the first and second side walls 4c, 4d of the magazine 2 (hence the first hooking portions 12 of the first safety device 11) are configured to engage stably, in the closing condition of the closing system and magazine, respectively to the first hooking portions 12 carried by the first and second side walls 9c, 9d of the closing system 7 (hence the first hooking portions 12 of the first safety device 11).

Each first coupling portion 12 placed in the internal volume of the closing system 7 is configured to engage, in the closed condition of the warehouse and the closing system, to a respective second coupling portion carried by the warehouse and extending outside the compartment 3 .

In the closed condition, the undercut defined by the panel 13a of the second hooking portion 13 is stably engaged to the undercut of the tab 12a of the first hooking portion 12 to define said locking condition. In the locked condition, the hooking portions of the first and second safety devices prevent the magazine and closing system from passing from the closed to the open condition. In fact, thanks to the presence of the first and second coupling portions, these safety devices 11, 91 keep the container 1 stably in the closed condition, preventing access from the outside to products housed in the warehouse 2.

Figures 4 and 5 schematically illustrate the engagement between the first and second engagement portions 12, 13 (locking condition of the first and second safety devices); as can be seen, in the locking condition, the second coupling portion 13 is interposed between the first coupling portion 12 and the side wall of the closing system 7, carrying said first coupling portion 12, to define an undercut suitable for limiting movement moving away between the magazine 2 and the closing system 7 so as to prevent the passage from the closed to the open condition. In greater detail, in the locked condition, the panel 13a of the second coupling portion 13 is substantially interposed between the tab 12a of the first coupling portion 12; in this way the panel 13a is configured to stably engage the edge 12b of the tab 12a.

As mentioned above, the panel 13a has a substantially "V" shape, the pointed portion of which faces away from the free edge 6. The pointed (extremal) portion of the "V" is configured to define an opening portion adapted to facilitate engagement with the first coupling portion 12; in detail, the pointed portion is configured to ensure the engagement of the panel 13a in interposition between the at least one tab 12a of the first engagement portion 12 and the side wall carrying said first engagement portion 12.

The first safety device 11 comprises a first release portion 17 configured to define at least one through access 18 on the closing system 7; the through access 18 is configured to allow a user, at least in the locking condition of the first safety device 11, to manually intervene from the outside of the container 1 on at least one of said first and second coupling portions 12, 13 of the first safety device 11 to allow its disengagement.

As can be seen for example in Figures 2, 5 and 6D, the through access 18 faces the tab 12a of the first coupling portion 12 of the first safety device 11 and - in the closed condition - also faces the second coupling portion 13 of the first safety device 11: the first release portion 17 is configured to allow, at least in the locking condition of the first safety device 11, direct access from the outside of the container 1 to at least one of said first and second portions hook 12, 13 to allow its disengagement and therefore to allow the passage of the magazine 2 and the closing system 7 from the closed to the open condition.

In still greater detail, the release portion 17 is configured to allow a user, at least in the locking condition of the first safety device 11, to manually intervene from the outside of the container 1 directly on the second coupling portion 13.

The first release portion 17 can comprise, but is not limited to, a through access 18 defined on at least one side wall of the closing system 7: the through access 18 is configured to allow communication between the external environment and the internal volume and in the Specifically, it allows a user to reach the panel 13a of the second coupling portion 13 in the locking condition of the first safety device 11 and therefore in the closed condition of the magazine and closing system. The through access 18 of the first release portion 17 has a closed perimeter profile: the through access 18 is distinct and spaced from the free edge 7a of the closing system 7.

Alternatively, the first release portion 17 could comprise a deformable portion placed, in the locking condition, in front of the first and second coupling portion 12, 13 of the first safety device 11: the thrust portion is configured to be moved (manually by the user) between a thrust condition and a rest condition. In the rest condition, the thrust portion is spaced from the first and second coupling portions, while in the thrust condition the thrust portion operates on at least one of said first and second coupling portions 12, 13 to allow its disengagement. In the thrust condition, the thrust portion contacts the second coupling portion 13 (the panel 13a) of the first safety device 11 and allows its disengagement with respect to the panel 12a of the first coupling portion 12. In fact, the thrust portion it can functionally act as a button. The thrust of a finger of a user on the thrust portion according to a direction entering the container 1 allows the thrust portion to come into contact with the second coupling portion 13, disengaging it from the undercut of the first coupling portion 12 of the first safety device 11. The thrust portion can be reversibly movable between the thrust condition and the rest condition. For this purpose, the thrust portion can be elastically deformable between the thrust condition and the rest condition.

As can be seen for example in Figure 5, the second coupling portion 13, (optionally the panel 13a of the second coupling portion 13) of the first safety device 11 is, in the locking condition, at least partially interposed between the first release portion 17 and the first hooking portion 12. The first release portion 17 (optionally through access 18) allows the user - through a direct manual action or - to push the panel 13a of the second coupling portion 13 against the wall side of the magazine 2 directly carrying said second coupling portion 13 in such a way as to cause disengagement with the at least one tab 12a of the first coupling portion 12 of the first safety device (condition schematized in Figure 6D).

The second safety device 91 comprises a second release portion 97, different from the first release portion 17, configured to define at least one respective through access 98 on the closing system 7; the through access 98 of the second release portion 97 is configured to allow, at least in the locking condition of the second safety device 91, the insertion of an opening device 99 suitable for allowing the disengagement of the first and second coupling portion 12 , 13 of the second safety device 91.

As can be seen for example in Figures 2, 3 and 6A, the through access 98 comprises a slot 69 defined on at least one of the top wall 9 of the closing system 7 and at least one side wall 10 of the closing device 7. through access 98 (optionally the slot) of the second release portion 97 has a closed perimeter profile: through access 98 is distinct and spaced from the free edge 7a of the closing system 7.

In fact, the slot of the second release portion 97 is arranged in proximity to the first coupling portion 12 of the second safety device and therefore, in the locking condition of the latter, also in correspondence with the second coupling portion 13 of the second device safety 91.

In fact, the second release portion 97 is configured to allow the user, at least in the locking condition of the second safety device 91, to insert through the through access 98 (in particular the slot) an opening device that can be positioned in the volume inside the closing system 7; in greater detail, the through access 98 (optionally the slot) is configured to allow from the outside of the container, in the locking condition of the second safety device 91, to interpose an opening device between the first and the second coupling portion 12, 13 of the second device 91 (engaged in the internal volume of the closing system but outside the compartment 3) to allow its disengagement. In fact, thanks to the interposition of the safety device, which can be inserted through the through access 98, it is possible to release the panel 13a from the tab 12a as shown schematically in Figure 6B for example.

As specified above, in the accompanying figures a configuration of the second safety device 91 has been shown, presenting only one first coupling portion 12 and only one second coupling portion 13 carried respectively by the front walls 9a, 4a of the closing system 7 and of the warehouse. 2; in this configuration, the through access 98 (optionally the slot) can be defined on at least one of the front wall 9a and the top part 9 of the closing system 7 but in any case near the front wall 9a; in the accompanying figures an embodiment of the second release portion 97 has been illustrated in which the through access 98 is defined in proximity to the corner defined by the front wall 9a and the top wall.

In the accompanying figures, the through access 98 of the second release portion 97 comprises a slot, that is an opening having a shape in which one dimension (for example the length) is significantly greater than a second dimension (for example the width). However, the possibility of making a through opening 98 having a different shape, for example square, circular or elliptical, is not excluded.

The through opening 98 is in any case configured to prevent the user from manually intervening on the first and second hooking portions 12, 13 of the second safety device 91. In this way, the container 1 can provide two safety devices separate: one designed to allow manual release of the hooking portions (first safety device) and a different one designed to allow only release by means of a special opening device. The presence of two safety devices that can be opened by means of two different release portions makes it possible to provide an extremely efficient child-resistant container that is able to prevent the opening of the container by a child. The presence of two different release portions makes it possible to make available a container with safety devices that can be disarmed according to different methods and therefore has an opening that is difficult to perform by a child but at the same time can be quickly performed by an adult.

The container 1 may further comprise an opening device 99 configured to be inserted, at least in the locking condition of the second safety device 91, into the internal volume of the closure system 7 - from the outside of the container 1 and through the through access 98 - to allow disengagement between the first and second coupling portion 12, 13 of the second safety device 91. Opening device 99 and through access 98 can be at least partially counter-shaped.

Method

The present invention also relates to a process for manufacturing a container 1 in accordance with one or more of the attached claims and / or in accordance with the above description.

The process provides for the preparation of a flat blank 50 in sheet material, optionally on paper. The first blank 50 includes:

- a first central sheet 51 having a rectangular or square shape,

- a second central sheet 52 also having a shape or square,

- a connecting sheet 53 having a square or rectangular shape interposed and joining the first and second central sheets 51, 52. The first and second central sheets 51, 52, are opposite each other with respect to the connecting sheet 53, - three first lateral sheets 54 joined in one piece to the first central sheet 51 and emerging from the latter starting from a perimeter edge. In fact, on one side of the first central sheet 51 there is the connecting sheet 53 while the first lateral sheets 54 emerge from the remaining three sides,

- at least one top sheet 60 joined in one piece to the second central sheet 52 and emerging from the latter in contrast to the connecting sheet 53,

- two second lateral sheets 58 joined in one piece to the second central sheet 52 and the latter emerging from a perimeter edge. The two second lateral sheets 58 emerge from respective opposite sides of the second central sheet 52 adjacent to the sides from which the head sheet 60 and the connecting sheet 52 emerge,

- at least one peripheral sheet 56.

The procedure further includes the steps of:

- folding the first side sheets 54 relative to the first central sheet 51 so that the first central sheet 51 can define the bottom wall of the magazine while the first side sheets 54 can define the predetermined number of side walls of the magazine 2, in particular the front wall 4a, the first wall and the second side wall 4c, 4d,

- defining the at least one second hooking portion 13 on at least of said side walls of the warehouse 2,

- folding the second side sheets 58 relative to the second central sheet 52 to define the first and second side walls 9c, 9d of the closing system 7, - folding the head sheet relative to the second central sheet 52 to define the front wall 9a of the closing system. The second central sheet 52, following the folding of the two second side sheets 58 and following the folding of the head sheet 60, defines the top wall 9 of the closing system 7,

- defining on at least said side walls 9 of the closing system 7 the at least one first hooking portion 12,

- arranging the first and second release portion 17, 97 on at least one side wall 9 of the closing system 7.

The method also provides for the folding of the first and second central sheets 51, 52 relative to the connecting sheet 53 so that the connection portion 53 can define the rear wall 4b of the magazine 2 and the closing system 7 is engaged with the free edge 6 of warehouse 2.

Following the folding of the first central sheet 51, of the connecting sheet 53, of the first side sheets 54, the method provides for the constraint, for example by gluing, of the first side sheets 54 and of the connecting sheet 53 in such a way that said sheets lateral sheets 54 and the connecting sheet 53 can maintain their folded (three-dimensional) shape to define the magazine 2. The first lateral sheets 54 and the connecting sheet 53 can be directly linked to each other; alternatively, the blank 50 can comprise two first joining sheets 55, each of which integrally joins two first adjacent side sheets 54. Each first joining sheet 55 comprises a first and a second portion 55a, 55b which can be folded in such a way as to define a folded connecting tab which can be fastened, for example by gluing, to at least one of said first adjacent folded side sheets 54; in this way the first joining sheet 55, following fixing on a side sheet 54, allows the latter to be kept together to define the side walls of the warehouse 2.

Identically, in order to allow the stable bond between the first side sheets 54 adjacent to the connecting sheet 53 and the latter, the blank 50 can comprise two second joining sheets 65 each of which integrally joins a first side sheet 54 with the connection 53. Each second joining sheet 65 comprises a first and a second portion 65a, 65b which can be folded in such a way as to define a folded connecting tab that can be constrained, for example by gluing, to at least one of the first side sheet 54 to which it is joined piece and the link sheet 53; in this way the second joining sheet 65, following fixing on the side sheet 54 or on the connecting sheet 53, allows the latter to be kept together to define the side walls of the warehouse 2.

Following the folding of the second central sheet 52, of the connecting sheet 53, of the second side sheets 58 and of the head sheet 60, the procedure provides for the constraint, for example by gluing, of the second side sheets 58 and of the head sheet 60 in in such a way that said sheets can maintain their folded (three-dimensional) shape to define the closing system 7. The second side sheets 58 and the head sheet 60 can be directly bonded by gluing; alternatively, the blank 50 can comprise two closing sheets 59, each of which integrally joins a second lateral sheet 58 with the head sheet 60. Each closing sheet 59 comprises a first and a second portion 59a, 59b which can be folded in such a way as to defining a folded connecting tab that can be constrained, for example by gluing, to at least one of the second side sheet 58 to which it is joined in one piece and the head sheet 60; in this way the closing sheet 59, following fixing on the side sheet 58 or on the head sheet 60, allows the latter to be kept together to define the side walls (9a, 9c and 9d) of the closing system 7.

As described above, the process comprises the definition of the first and second coupling portions 12, 13. As can be seen from Figure 1, each of said second side sheets 58 comprises at least a first and a second portion 58a, 58b: the first portion 58a is directly interposed between the second central sheet 52 and the second portion 58b of the same second side sheet 58. Similarly, the head sheet 60 comprises a first and second portion 60a, 60b joined in one piece: the first portion 60a is interposed between the second sheet central 52 and the second portion 60b of the same top sheet 60.

The first hooking portion 12 of the first safety device is defined by the second portion 58b of each second side sheet 58 following the folding of the latter over the first portion 58a; in fact, the second portion 58b partly defines the tab 12a. The first and second portions 58a, 58b, following the bending, are stably constrained to each other, for example by gluing so that they can stably maintain the folded shape to define the housing seat 50 and the first coupling portion 12.

The first hooking portion 12 of the second safety device 91 is performed by folding the second portion 60b of the head sheet 60 above the first portion 60a of the same sheet so that the first portion 60a can define the front wall 9a of the closing system 7 while the second portion 60b can define the first hooking portion 12. First and second portions 60a, 60b, following the folding, are stably constrained to each other, for example by gluing so that they can stably maintain the folded shape to define the first coupling portion 12.

The step of defining the second hooking portion 13 instead comprises a step of making a through groove 63 of at least one of said first side sheets 54 to define directly on said second side sheet the panel 13a of the second hooking portion 13. In detail , the second hooking portion 13 of the first safety device 11 is defined by the through groove 63 defined on the first side sheets 54 opposite to the first central sheet 51 and adjacent to the connecting sheet 53; the hooking portion 13 of the second safety device 91 is defined by the through groove 63 defined on the first side sheet 54 opposite the connecting sheet 53 with respect to the first central sheet 51.

The step of preparing the first release portion 17 comprises at least one step of making a through notch 62 on at least one of said second side sheets 58, on the head sheet 60 and on the second central sheet 52 configured to define the through access 18 In detail, the step of making the through notch 62 provides for the execution of a hole on both second side sheets 58 of the blank.

The step of preparing the second release portion 97 comprises at least one step of making a through notch 66 on at least one of said second side sheets 58, on the head sheet 60 and on the second central sheet 52 configured to define the through access 98 (optionally the slot). In detail, the step of executing the through notch 66 provides for the execution of a slot on the second central sheet 52 and / or on the head sheet 60.

Closing method

The present invention also relates to a method of closing a container 1 in accordance with one or more of the attached claims and / or in accordance with the above description.

The method comprises a first step of positioning the locking system 7 outside the warehouse 2 so that the latter can be at least partially housed in the internal volume of the locking system 7. Previously, the step of positioning the locking system 7 at the exterior of the magazine 2 - the closing system 7 and the magazine 2 are coupled and movable relative to each other. Thereafter, the closing system 7 and magazine 2 are moved relative to each other so as to define the closing condition. The relative movement of the closing system 7 and magazine in the closed condition allows to bring the first hooking portion 12 - of the first and second safety device - in correspondence with the second hooking portion 13 - of the first and second safety device - where the two portions (12 and 13) can engage with each other. The relative movement involves the relative rotation of the closing system 7 outside the warehouse 2 around the free edge 6 of the warehouse with the side walls of the closing system 7 closely facing the side walls of the warehouse 2. The relative movement involves the relative rotation of the system closure 7 with respect to the magazine 2 up to an end-of-stroke position in which the top wall 9 of the closure system 7 is expected to be at the free edge 6 of the magazine 2 (see for example Figures 5 and 6D). In the end-of-stroke position, the free edge 6 of the magazine 2 rests on the top wall 9 of the closing system 7 and prevents a further relative approach between the bottom wall of the warehouse 2 and the top wall 9 of the closing system 7.

In the end-of-stroke position, the first coupling portion 12 - of the first and second safety device - faces the second coupling portion 13 - of the first and second safety device respectively - and is ready to receive this engagement. last. In fact, once these portions (12, 13) are in correspondence with each other (for example in the end-of-stroke position) engagement of the first and second coupling portion 12, 13 of the first and of the second safety device 11, 91 to define the locking condition. The relative movement of warehouse 2 and closing system 7 can provide for the movement of both parts, i.e. closing system and warehouse 2, or the movement of only one of said parts (only the closing system 7 or only the warehouse 2) , keeping the other of the two parts stationary (keeping the closing system 7 or the magazine fixed) in such a way that a relative motion is defined between them.

In fact, following the achievement of the closing condition, both the first safety device 11 and the second safety device 91 define the respective locking condition in which both prevent the closing system and the magazine from passing from the closed condition to that of opening.

Opening method

The present invention also relates to a method of opening a container 1 in accordance with one or more of the attached claims and / or in accordance with the above description.

Previously carrying out the method of opening the container 1, the latter is in the locking condition of the first and second safety devices 11, 91.

The opening method comprises a contact step, from the outside of the container 1, of at least one of the first and the second coupling portion 12, 13, through the first release portion 17, of the first safety device 11. The contact it can be direct or it can take place indirectly, for example by means of the thrust portion of the closure system 7. For example, the step of contacting at least one of the first and the second coupling portion 12, 13 of the first closure device 11 comprises at least one of the following sub-phases:

- manually and directly contacting at least one of the first and second hooking portions 12, 13, for example by inserting a user's finger through the through access 18 of the release portion 17, - deforming the thrust portion of the system closure 7 so that said thrust portion can contact at least one of the first and second hooking portions 12, 13.

Subsequently, the opening method provides for a disengagement step of the first and second coupling portion 12, 13 of the first safety device 11. The disengagement step comprises pushing the second portion 13 of the magazine 2 towards the compartment 3 ( figure 6D), optionally through a manual intervention of a user (directly on the second portion 13 or indirectly through the elastic deformation of the thrust portion).

The method also provides for a contact step of at least one between the first and the second coupling portion 12, 13 of the second safety device 91, when still in the locked condition, by means of the opening device 99. For the contact step , the opening device 99 is made to pass through the through access 98 (optionally the slot) of the second release portion 97 and inserted, from the outside of the container 1, into the internal volume of the closing system 7 but outside the compartment 3. Following the insertion of the opening device 99, the method provides for a disengagement step, through said opening device, of the first and second coupling portions 12, 13 of the second safety device 91. This disengagement step comprises the step to interpose the opening device 99 between the first and the second coupling portion 12, 13 of the second safety device 91 so as to be able to release (separate) the panel 13a of the second hooking portion 13 from the tab 12a of the first hooking portion 12.

Only following the disengagement phase of the first and second coupling portion 12, 13 of the first and second safety device 11, 91, does the procedure provide for the relative movement between the magazine 2 and the closing system 7 from the closed condition to the opening so as to be able to open the container 1. In fact, in order to open the container it is necessary to disengage all the first hooking portions 12 from the respective second hooking portions 13 of both the first and second safety devices 11, 91.

In a preferential but non-limiting form, the opening method initially provides for the disengagement of the first and second hooking portions 12, 13 of the second safety device 91 by means of the opening device 99; only subsequently does the method provide for the disengagement of the at least one first hooking portion 12 from the at least one second hooking portion 13 of the first opening device 11 (condition schematized in figure 7). Obviously, the possibility of carrying out the unlocking steps of the first coupling portions from the second coupling portions of the first and second safety device simultaneously or by initially unlocking the first safety device 11 and only subsequently that of the second device is not excluded. safety 91.
