Abstract

An insert 11 made out of a single blank of cardboard is inserted into a lower part 12 of a folding box 10 to divide it into compartments 13 defined by, on the one hand, webs 15 which project upwardly over the bottom 14 of the insert 11 and, on the other hand, cross-webs 16, which are partially out of the regions 17 of the bottom 14 bordering on the webs and are folded upwardly. <IMAGE>

Description

D E S C R I C Ã 0 ii

The present invention relates to a foldable box, made of cardboard with an inserted separator that is inserted into the bottom of the box and divides! it is in a certain number of filling chambers protected ί against lateral displacement, the inserted separator I being made from a cut-out cardboard mold forming a single piece and presenting, for the limitation of the various chambers; on the one hand, flaps folded upwards relative to the bottom surface.

I

A box of the type indicated in the patent FR-PS 12 26 636 is known.

The separator inserted therein is suitable only for limiting filling chambers between the flaps folded upwards relative to the bottom surface, whereas, along these flaps, ί division into smaller filling chambers is not possible.

Boxes obtained are also known

-'by folding with inserted separators made of material i

plastic, then the filling chambers are formed, according to the shape of the products, as protuberances of the respective separator inserted.

Boxes obtained by folding with inserted separators made of cardboard are also known, with the inserted separators formed by intersecting flaps, that is, in these boxes the inserted separators are formed by several pieces ·

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a box obtained by folding which, while maintaining the advantage of having an inserted separator manufactured by Sim ¹ I! pies, inexpensive and favorable for the protection of the environment, additionally offers the possibility of limiting several filling chambers between flaps that are arranged parallel to each other.

According to the present invention, the solution to this problem is that the inserted separator presents, i for the limitation of the filling chambers, on the other hand,

I transverse flaps cut by embossing the flaps, bera, as from an area of the bottom surface adjacent to the flaps, i! and which also extend upwards over the bottom surface 'of the inserted separator.

This kind can be manufactured globally at a reduced cost,!

N * * ΐ in one piece. In addition, a box of this kind, due to the fact that, in the end, all of it is made of cardboard, ¹ is particularly favorable for the defense of the environment, coase; resulting in the special advantage of defining separate filling chambers also in the areas between the flaps that extend ί parallel to each other »ί ¹ ί As the inserted separator is made from

I; from a mold cut into a single piece, all that separator with the box mold can be planned, leading to a space saving from the carton factory to the packaging • factory during transport.

The attached drawings show Π examples of carrying out the present invention, which will be described in detail below * The figures in the drawings represent:

j | of a cut-out cardboard mold, in one piece »í '' By means of the inserted separator (11), the bottom part (12) of the box is divided into a certain number of filling chambers (13), in whose interior the products to be packaged, for example chocolate candies, are protected ί against lateral displacement.

i ι

To limit the various filling chambers (13), on the one hand »flaps (15), folded upwards in relation to the surface (14) of the bottom of the

- 3 separator (11) and, on the other hand, transverse flaps (16), which are cut by stamping the flaps (15) as well as an area (17) adjacent to the flaps (15) of the bottom surface (14) and also protruding upwards on the surface (14) of the bottom of the inserted separator (11).

i In particular fig. 3 shows clearly; that, by means of the flaps (15) and the transverse flaps (16) a surface of the bottom separates which defines the dimensions of a filling chamber (13) in relation to a neighboring filling chamber (13). The corresponding products are protected within these filling chambers (13) by the flaps (15) and the transverse flaps (16) against unwanted entry i into a neighboring filling chamber (13).

The exemplified embodiment shown, according to figs. 1 to 4, the flaps (15) have a triangular cross section, as do the transverse flaps! salts (16), which protrude from the flaps (15), both laterally and in height »

In fig »5, it is indicated that the flaps

I] transversal (16) can perfectly present a different profile, different from that of the flaps (15), for example the transversal flaps (16) can have a rectangular cross section. Of course, there is also the possibility of giving the flaps (15) another shape of the cross section, different from the indications in each of the drawings (15) which are located in the lateral peripheral truss (11) are provided with a surface of gluing (18), the complete inserted separator being placed glued, through the gluing surfaces (18), on the corresponding side walls (19) of the lower part (12) of the box »This prevents the exit of the separator (11) the bottom part of the box (12).

In particular fig. 2 clearly shows that the transverse flaps (16) are formed by narrowing in the direction of their upper face. This is simply a matter of fact - 4 a structural measure, not necessarily technically necessary. The transverse flaps (16) can also be made with constant width, for structural reasons other geometric shapes can also be chosen for the transverse flaps (16), for example they can also be made rounded.
