Description

Field of Invention

[0001] The present invention relates to the preparation of a display box and to a display box for several products in which the contained products are supported in a specific order. The box of the invention is formed of a box and a separator, the separator being supported in place by recesses in the side walls of the box. The front surface of the box may be at least partially transparent. Other surfaces may also be at least partially transparent.

State of the art

[0002] Many products are sold in quantities of two to ten or more in one package. Many of these products are preferably displayed and packaged in a specific order. Maintaining the products in this order is useful in cases where the products should be visible through at least partially transparent front surface. Products visible through the front of the box can be an important factor when selling the product. Products should preferably be displayed clearly and clearly in order to provide the customer with the required product information. In addition, the box should be inexpensive, structurally stable, it should have a tamper evident and be versatile during the demonstration. As used here, the versatility of the demonstration means that the box can be demonstrated both when it is supported on a shelf of the store, and when hanging on a hook or similar device that extends outward from the vertical support. When a product can be displayed on a store shelf, it can then also be stored on a shelf at the customer’s home. The ability to store on a shelf is convenient because the products in the box can be used by the buyer for a period of time. The box must have sufficient structural stability so as not to be damaged during transportation and handling and demonstration in retail. The box must also be strong enough to protect the products it contains from any damage. To provide an indication of tampering, it should be clear at a glance if the box has been tamper-evident.

[0003] The box of the invention solves these problems through the unique structure of the box. A box has a unique box structure, a unique product splitter structure, and a unique structure for connecting the box to a product splitter. Low cost is achieved by using a design that reduces the amount of material, but retains sufficient strength. This results in a demonstration box for several low cost products, while the box is structurally stable, provides an indication of tampering and is versatile in demonstration.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The present invention relates to a display box for several products. In one embodiment, the box comprises a front panel and a rear panel, the front panel and the rear panel being connected to each other by means of a top panel and a bottom panel, each of the front panel, top panel, and bottom panel having outgoing side flaps. Each of the side flaps of the upper panel and the side panel has a recess, while the recesses of the valves of the upper panel are aligned with the recesses of the valves of the lower panel to form integrated recesses in the side of the box. In the box there is a product separator having a separating panel with an outgoing first panel and an outgoing second panel, wherein each of the first and second panels is inserted into a combined recess in the side of the box to secure the product separator in the box. The product separator maintains the position of the products displayed in the box.

[0005] The box has at least one surface at least partially transparent to demonstrate containers. This is preferably a front surface. Other surfaces, such as the upper surface, may be at least partially transparent. The product separator keeps the products in an adjacent position relative to the front panel and any other panel with at least partially transparent surface in a strict order.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0023] Fig. 1 shows a blank 11 for manufacturing a display box 10 (Fig. 4). The blank 11 comprises a front panel 12 with a transparent front panel window 14. At one end of the front panel 12, there is a top panel 18. A transparent front panel window 14 located in the front panel 12 is shown as continuing into the top panel 18. The size, shape and orientation of the panel window 14 are not limited to that shown in FIG. 1. The panel window 14 may be smaller or larger and have any shape and orientation, while the products in the box 10 are visible outside the box 10. To the upper panel 18 is attached a first hanging panel 22 having an opening 21 of the first hanging panel. A lower panel 20 is attached to the front panel 12, opposite the upper panel 18, with a rear panel 16 attached to the other end of the lower panel 20. A second hanging panel 24 is attached to the lower panel 20, having an opening 23 of the second hanging panel. The second hanging panel 24 has several weakened lines 13 defining several tear-off adhesive tongues 17. Each of the front panel 12, the upper panel 18 and the lower panel 20 has side flaps 30, 32, 26, 26, 34, 36. There are no side flaps on the back panel 16 or on the front hanging panel 22, or on the rear hanging panel 24.

[0024] The front panel 12 has a left side valve 30 and a right side valve 32. Each of these side valves 30, 32 has an outgoing glue valve 31, 33. The left side glue valve 31 moves away from the left side valve 30, and the right side glue valve 33 is connected to the right side flap 32. Between each of the glue flaps 31, 32 and side flaps 30, 32, a weakened region 15 is located, from which it extends. Each of the right side glue valve 32 and the left side glue valve 30 has several glue tabs 38, each glue tab 38 is limited to the weakened region 38 (a). Glue tabs 38 are part of the tamper evident structure. Glue tabs 38 are attached to the inner surface of the back panel 16 when the box blank 11 is folded to form a box 10 (shown in FIG. 4). When the box 10 is open, the adhesive tabs 38 remain attached to the inner surface of the rear panel 16, since the weakened areas 38 (a) are torn. When it is seen that the adhesive tabs 38 are attached to the inner surface of the rear panel 16, this is an indication that the box 10 has been opened or opened. Similarly, the weakened lines 13 of the rear panel provide the second hanging panel 24 with tear-off tongues 17. When the back panel 16 is pulled outward, the tear-off tongues 17 tear along the weakened lines 13 and remain attached to the front hanging panel 22.

[0025] The upper panel 18 has a right side upper valve 28 with a recess 27 in the right side upper valve and a left side upper valve 26 with a recess 25 in the left side upper valve. The lower panel 20 has a right side lower valve 36 with a recess 37 in the right side lower valve and a left side lower valve 34 with a recess 35 in the left side lower valve. When the lower panel 20 and the upper panel 18 with the side flaps 34, 36 attached are folded to form a box 10, the recess 25 of the left side upper panel valve and the recess 35 of the left side lower panel valve form a single integrated recess 25/35 along the inner surface of the left side valve 30 Also, the recess 27 of the right side upper panel valve and the recess 37 of the right side lower panel valve forms a combined recess 27/37 along the inner surface of the right side valve 32. These volumes the twin grooves 25/35 and 27/37 serve to secure the separator 40 products in the box 10.

[0026] The product separator 40 is shown in FIG. 2. This product divider 40 comprises a separating panel 42 with gripping holes 41. The separating panel 42 has a separating panel upper valve 48 and a separating panel lower valve 46. A weakened line 47 is allowed to slightly bend the separating panel 42 when the gripping holes 41 are compressed and easily pulled together. This facilitates the insertion and removal of the product separator 40 from the box 10. The separation panel upper valve 48 and the separation panel lower valve 46 serve to align and support the product separator 40 in the box 10. The separation panel 42 has a first panel 44 and a second panel 45. Between the separation panel 42, a weakened line 39, depicted as a tear line, is located by the first panel 44 and the second panel 45. A bend of about 75-105 ° is formed along the weakened line 39. Typically, the angle is approximately 90 °. The first panel 44 and the second panel 45 form the combined recesses 25/35 and 27/37. The corresponding integrated recess in which the first locking panel 44 and the second locking panel 45 fit is determined by the orientation of the product spacer 40 when it is placed in the box 10. The product spacer 40 is fixed in the box 10. Fastening means that the product spacer 40 is held in a stable position, when it is placed in the combined recesses 25/35 and 27/37. The product separator remains movable and removable from box 10.
