Abstract
A box formed from a single cardboard sheet and having a closure panel from which there projects a lip insertable into the box interior between the box front panel and the edges adjacent thereto of two flaps projecting from the box side panels, the lip being separated from the closure panel by a folding line, at each end of which a cut is provided into which a flexible appendix projecting from each flap is inserted, with the free end of the flap making contact with the inner surface of the front panel in the box when closed.
Description
- The present invention relates to a box formed of cardboard and having at least one closure panel which, after the box has been closed, presents improved resistance to fraudulent panel opening.
- Many types of boxes formed from a single piece of punched and crease-lined cardboard are known, these boxes having one or both ends closed by a closure panel which has to be openable to enable the product contained in the box to be freely extracted therefrom.
- A lip projecting from the closure panel is separated from this panel by a folding line about which the lip can be rotated, to be then inserted into the box in contact with the inner surface of the front main panel of the box when this in its closed state, with the closure panel resting on two flaps projecting from the ends of the two side main panels of the box. At each end of the folding line which separates the closure panel from the respective flap there is provided a cut into which a profiled portion of the longitudinal side edge of the flap adjacent to said flap is inserted: the edge of the profiled portion of the flap is spaced (within the closed box) from the adjacent inner surface of the front main panel of the box, to enable said lip to be freely inserted and slide between said inner surface of the main panel and the edge of the longitudinal profiled portion of the flap when the box is closed, to prevent the free edge of the lip from resting on the lateral portions of the flaps during box closure (which is achieved by automatic machines operating at high speed), to hence deform this lip.
- When the box is to be opened, the side edges of the closure panel are gripped by two fingers and pulled outwards from the box to cause the lip to emerge from the box and consequently open the box. During this operation (commonly carried out to open the box) the closure panel becomes curved (by the effect of the traction exerted thereon by the two fingers of the hand), hence displacing the lip projecting from it towards the box interior and consequently causing the profiled portions of the box flaps to penetrate into the respective cuts in the lip folding line, so hindering opening of the box lid.
- The same identical behaviour occurs when the box is closed and a relatively heavy product (for example a medicament bottle) is present in it. When the closed box lying in an erect position is lifted laterally by the hands, the weight of its contained product acts on the underlying closure panel, with the same aforedescribed effect.
- As stated, in a closed box the profiled longitudinal flap edge facing the lip of the closure panel is spaced from the inner surface of the front main panel of the box. This represents a serious drawback because if, with the box closed, a thin resistant blade is inserted between the closure panel and the flaps below it, the said lip can be thrust and moved towards and against the inner surface of the box front panel and the closure panel can then be rotated, to lift its lip out of the box, without this lip coming into contact with the adjacent edges of the flaps. The box can hence be fraudulently opened and its contents be tampered with without this being detectable by the naked eye, because the box can be closed again, no portion of it having been deformed or broken during its fraudulent opening. Similar boxes, all presenting the aforesaid drawbacks, are illustrated for example in U.S. Pat. No. 4,890,789 and in the corresponding EP-B-0318750; in EP-B-0709293; in U.S. Pat. No. 6,860,421B2 and in the corresponding EP-B-11340684; in U.S. Pat. No. 6,923,315B2 and in the corresponding EP-B-1346922; in EP-A-1538090 and in further patents.
- The main object of the present invention is to provide a box, the closure panel of which presents improved resistance to any accidental or fraudulent opening stress.
- This and other objects are attained by a box formed from a single piece of punched and crease-line cardboard or the like comprising:
-
- four consecutive main panels and a secondary panel which projects from the first main panel;
- parallel longitudinal folding lines separating the main panels and the secondary panel from each other,
- a closure panel for at least one end of the box, projecting from at least one end of one of the main panels and separated from it by a first transverse folding line about which the closure panel can rotate between an open position and respectively a closed position of said end of the box;
- a lip projecting from the free end of the closure panel and separated from it by a second folding line, at each end of which a cut is provided;
- at least one flap, projecting from the end of at least one of those main panels different from that from which said closure panel projects in the same direction, said flap being separated from the respective panel by a transverse folding line about which the flap can rotate towards the box interior, characterised in that from that longitudinal edge of said flap furthest from said closure panel there projects an elongate flexible appendix the free end of which is substantially aligned with the folding line which separates that main panel from which said flap projects, from the main panel consecutive to it, said flexible appendix being positioned such as to be inserted, when the box is closed, into the cut provided in the adjacent end of said second folding line between said lip and the panel from which the lip extends.
- Preferably the sides of said flexible appendix are defined by cuts and recesses provided in that flap of which the appendix forms part.
- Again preferably, one of said recesses of the flap extends from the longitudinal edge of the flap to the folding line separating it from the main panel with which it is rigid.
- The structure and characteristics of the box according to the invention will be more apparent from the ensuing non-limiting description of one embodiment thereof, given with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a punched and crease-lined cardboard sheet for forming the box; -
FIG. 2 is similar toFIG. 1 but with some portions of the cardboard sheet folded onto other portions thereof; -
FIGS. 3 and 4 are perspective representations of an end portion of the already finished box, with its panel and flaps completely open and, respectively, with just its flaps folded towards the box interior; -
FIGS. 5 , 6 and 7 are perspective views of a top portion of a finished box, shown in the position which it assumes during closure of its lid, in the position in which the lid is completely closed and, respectively, in the position at the commencement of lid opening; -
FIG. 8 is a section through the closed box, on the line 8-8 ofFIG. 6 . - Reference will firstly be made to
FIG. 1 which shows a plan view of a punched and crease-lined cardboard sheet comprising four main panels 1-4 and asecondary panel 5 projecting from the first main panel, these panels being consecutive and separated from each other by longitudinal folding lines (crease lines) 6-9. - A
closure panel 10 projects from both ends of thepanel 1, while flaps 11, 12 project from both ends of the twopanels panel 13 projects from both ends of thepanel 3. The panels 10-13 are separated from the respective main panels 1-4 by transverse folding lines 14-17. - Finally, it can be seen that a
lip 18 projects from theclosure panel 10 and is separated from it by atransverse folding line 19, at each end of which acut 20 is provided. - The box described up to this point is substantially identical to those shown in the drawings of all the prior patents cited in the introduction to the present patent specification, in particular in U.S. Pat. No. 4,890,789.
- In a first step of its production, a thin strip of glue is applied along the free edge of the panels 13 (
FIG. 1 ), thesepanels 13 are folded about therespective folding lines 16 and are pressed against therespective panel 3, on which they become fixed by the glue (FIG. 2 ), a thin strip ofglue 22 is applied in proximity to the free edge of themain panel 4, and thesecondary panel 5 is turned onto themain panel 1 shown inFIG. 2 . - The cardboard sheet is then folded about the
folding line 8 so that the strip ofglue 22 rests on the outer surface of thepanel 5; this step is not shown in the drawings as it is obvious and totally similar to that illustrated in the already cited prior patents. Box production is hence terminated and it is ready to be shaped (by the firm using the box) into the form shown inFIG. 3 , with a lid and closure panel completely open to enable the box to receive the product which it is to contain. - A fundamental characteristic of the present invention is that from that longitudinal edge of each of the
flaps closure panel 10 in the box when made up, there projects an elongateflexible appendix 23 the free end of which—when the box is made up and with the flaps closed (FIGS. 4 and 8 ), i.e. folded towards the box interior—is substantially aligned with thefolding lines 16 which separate thepanels 13 from thepanel 13, which means that the free edge of theappendices 23 grazes or is in light contact with the inner surface of thepanels 13 which are fixed onto the inner surface of themain panel 3, with which they form a single piece. - The elongate
flexible appendices 23 are defined by cuts and recesses provided in the flaps, in particular by arecess 24 provided in each flap at thefolding line - The position and size of each
elongate appendix 23 are such that, when the box is closed (FIGS. 6 and 8 ), they become inserted into theadjacent cut 20 provided in thefolding line 19, so greatly increasing the resistance of the corresponding box closure panel to opening. To understand this, reference should firstly be made toFIG. 4 in which thebox lid flaps appendices 23 very close to or in light contact with the adjacent (inner) surface of thepanel 13. When the closure panel is rotated about thefolding line 14 to close the box lid, at a certain point the free edge of thelip 18 comes into contact with the upper surface (with respect to the drawings) of theappendices 23, causing them to flex downwards (FIG. 5 ) and hence enable thelip 18 to slide into the box without undergoing deformation, into contact with the inner surface of thepanel 13 on one side and in contact with the free ends of theappendices 23 on the other side. - On termination of the rotation and downward movement of the
panel 10 andlip 18, the free ends of theappendices 23 hence lie positioned in front of thecorresponding cuts 20 in the folding lines, returning elastically to their original flat position and extending through these cuts, with the free edge of the appendices returning into contact with the opposing surface of the panel 13 (FIGS. 6 and 8 ), to hence rigidly retain the box lid in its closed position. - When the box lid is to be reopened, the upward movement of the
panel 10 together with thelip 18 drags theappendix 23 upwards so that it curves upwards (FIG. 7 ) until the free end of this appendix emerges and becomes free of thecut 20 in thefolding line 19. - It is important to note that the
lip 18 cannot slide freely between the surface of thepanel 13 and the free end of theappendices 23, so preventing the box lid from being able to be opened fraudulently using a thin blade inserted between thepanel 10 and theflaps 11,12: in this respect, if those cuts, holes or knurlings represented in EP-B-0709293, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,860,421B2, in EP 1538090A and in many further patents were present in the panel and/or in the respective lip, the appendices would present a resistance to the upward movement of thelip 18, so causing partial or total detachment of this lip from the panel. - It is also important to note that the presence of the
panels 13 folded and fixed to the inside of themain panel 3 prevents this panel from being able to be fraudulently pushed outwards (using a blade inserted into the box) to cause theappendices 23 to escape from thecuts 20 and hence enable thepanel 10 with itslip 18 to be raised upwards. - It is worth repeating that in known boxes the outer longitudinal ends of the flaps always remain spaced from the opposing surface of the front panel adjacent to them, to enable the box lid to be closed without the lip of this lid interfering with the flaps (which do not have flexible elongate appendices able to be curved by the lip and be inserted in all cases and is under all conditions into the cuts provided at the ends of the folding lines from which these lips extend).
