Description

TITULO DE LA INVENCIÓN TITLE OF THE INVENTION
Caja de plástico plegable y desmontable.Plastic folding and detachable box.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
En la actualidad, existen numeroso tipos de cajas de plástico, tanto rígidas como plegables, así como otro tipo de cajas que presentan el mismo uso para el transporte de frutas y hortalizas, realizados de cartón o madera, y que presentan unas características diferentes a las realizadas en material plástico.At present, there are numerous types of plastic boxes, both rigid and folding, as well as other types of boxes that have the same use for the transport of fruits and vegetables, made of cardboard or wood, and that have different characteristics than made of plastic material.
Las cajas de plástico, rígidas en general, están constituidas por un cuerpo monopieza, en el que se define un fondo, dos laterales y dos testeros, dotados en general de nervios que proporcionan rigidez y orificios que facilitan la ventilación del material que transportan, permitiendo en general su apilamiento para el transporte, tanto vacías como llenas. Se caracterizan por ser ligeras a la vez que robustas.The plastic boxes, rigid in general, are constituted by a single-piece body, in which a bottom, two sides and two heads are defined, generally equipped with ribs that provide rigidity and holes that facilitate the ventilation of the material they transport, allowing In general, its stacking for transport, both empty and full. They are characterized by being light and robust.
El problema fundamental que presentan este tipo de cajas se basa en el hecho de que ocupan el mismo espacio en vacío que en carga, lo que encarece su transporte y almacenamiento en las situaciones en las que la caja se encuentra vacía, frente a una caja de las mismas características que se pudiera plegar cuando se encontrase vacía.The fundamental problem presented by this type of boxes is based on the fact that they occupy the same empty space as on cargo, which makes transport and storage more expensive in situations where the box is empty, compared to a box of the same characteristics that could be folded when it was empty.
En el mercado también se encuentran este tipo de cajas, presentando algunos inconvenientes que se han solucionado con el presente modelo de utilidad. Entre las principales desventajas de este tipo de cajas de plástico plegables, es su falta de rigidez cuando se encuentran montados, ya que los laterales de la misma se sujetan a los testeros en dos únicos puntos, en la cabeza y base del lateral, a la vez que limitan la altura del lateral para proporcionar un plegado correcto.In the market there are also this type of boxes, presenting some drawbacks that have been solved with this utility model. Among the main disadvantages of this type of folding plastic boxes, is their lack of rigidity when they are mounted, since the sides of the same are attached to the heads in two single points, on the head and base of the side, to the time limiting the height of the side to provide a correct folding.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN La caja de la presente invención ha sido desarrollada en orden a resolver los problemas que presentan en la actualidad las cajas de plástico plegables para el transporte de frutas, hortalizas y otros productos, de forma que proporcione una rigidez similar a las cajas rígidos y permita a su vez un plegado óptimo.DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The box of the present invention has been developed in order to solve the problems that presently present the folding plastic boxes for the transport of fruits, vegetables and other products, so as to provide a rigidity similar to the rigid boxes and allow turn an optimal folding.
La caja que se describe esta compuesto por cinco piezas, una base o fondo, dos laterales y dos testeros, articulándose los laterales y testeros a la base y entre ellos mismos. La base (1), esta constituida por una pieza de material plástico, con forma rectangular, provista de un determinado número de orificios dispuestos simétricamente según los dos ejes de simetría, en la que se articulan una pareja de laterales (2) en los lados mayores y una pareja de testeros (3) en los lados menores del rectángulo que forma la base.The box described is composed of five pieces, a base or bottom, two sides and two heads, articulating the sides and heads at the base and among themselves. The base (1), is constituted by a piece of plastic material, rectangular in shape, provided with a certain number of holes arranged symmetrically along the two axes of symmetry, in which a pair of sides (2) are articulated on the sides majors and a pair of testeros (3) on the minor sides of the rectangle that forms the base.
Los laterales (2) presentan una serie de ranuras y orificios (4) en toda su extensión para permitir la ventilación del contenido a transportar y reducir el peso de la caja. Asimismo, presenta también en toda su superficie una serie de nervios que le proporcionan la rigidez necesaria. Estos laterales, a diferencia de otros, presentan en el borde superior de los mismos, una línea quebrada, formando salientes en forma de trapecio (5) y entrantes en forma de trapecio invertido (6) y de las mismas dimensiones que el anterior. Las dimensiones de los trapecios formados son tales que no permiten el paso de los productos que contenga la caja. El lateral opuesto, presentan las mismas características con la salvedad de que los trapecios están dispuestos con una paso diferente de forma que durante el plegado coincida un trapecio con el invertido del lateral opuesto. De esta forma se consigue aumentar la altura útil de este tipo de cajas de plástico plegables. A su vez, la línea que forma el borde superior del lateral, presenta una ranura (7) en los salientes en forma de trapecio, que encajan con unos entrantes (8) dispuestos en la base de la caja y proporcionan estabilidad en el momento de apilar varias cajas, constituyendo un cuerpo único de varias cajas apiladas .The sides (2) have a series of grooves and holes (4) in their entire length to allow ventilation of the content to be transported and reduce the weight of the box. Likewise, it also has a series of nerves that provide the necessary stiffness throughout its surface. These sides, unlike others, have a broken line on the upper edge of them, forming trapezoid-shaped projections (5) and inverted trapezoid-shaped recesses (6) and of the same dimensions as the previous one. The dimensions of the trapezoids formed are such that they do not allow the passage of the products contained in the box. The opposite side, have the same characteristics with the proviso that the trapezoids are arranged with a different passage so that during the folding a trapezoid coincides with the inverted side of the opposite side. In this way it is possible to increase the useful height of this type of folding plastic boxes. In turn, the line that forms the upper edge of the side, has a groove (7) in the projections in the form of a trapeze, which fit with recesses (8) arranged in the base of the box and provide stability at the time of stack several boxes, constituting a single body of several boxes stacked
Los laterales ( 2 ) se articulan al borde correspondiente de la base (1) con la ayuda de cuatro bisagras (9), consistentes en unas abrazaderas cilindricas (10), de embocadura estrangulada, definidas en el borde inferior del lateral (2) y que se acoplan a presión en vastagos (11) definidos en los lados mayores de la base, como se observa en el detalle A.The sides (2) are articulated to the corresponding edge of the base (1) with the help of four hinges (9), consisting of cylindrical clamps (10), of strangulated mouth, defined on the lower edge of the side (2) and which are coupled under pressure in rods (11) defined on the major sides of the base, as can be seen in detail A.
Los testeros ( 3 ) al igual que los laterales, se unen a la base mediante tres bisagras (12), realizadas como se ha descrito en los laterales, pero con la salvedad de que estas están dispuestas sobre unas cartelas (13) que emergen de la base ( 1 ) en los lados menores del rectángulo, todo ello como se observa en el detalle B, de esta forma se consigue un plegado óptimo de los testeros sobre los laterales de la caja.The heads (3), like the sides, are attached to the base by means of three hinges (12), made as described on the sides, but with the proviso that these are arranged on some posters (13) that emerge from the base (1) on the smaller sides of the rectangle, all as seen in detail B, in this way an optimal folding of the pockets on the sides of the box is achieved.
La articulación de los laterales y los testeros mediante bisagras que se acoplan a la base de la caja, permite en el caso de rotura de cualquiera de los elementos que componen la caja, su sustitución por un elemento nuevo, de esta forma se evita retirar las cajas con roturas como ocurría hasta el momento.The articulation of the sides and the ends by means of hinges that are attached to the base of the box, allows in the case of breakage of any of the elements that make up the box, its replacement by a new element, in this way it is avoided to remove the cracked boxes as was the case so far.
Asimismo, los testeros presentan unas amplias ventanas (14) que hacen la función de asideros para facilitar el transporte de las cajas. De igual forma que los laterales, presenta numerosas ranuras para facilitar la ventilación y reducción del peso y nervios para aumentar la rigidez del conjunto. Debajo de las ventanas que forman los asideros, se han dispuesto de un tarjetero para poder proporcionar información sobre la mercancía que contiene la caja.Likewise, the front doors have large windows (14) that act as handles to facilitate the transport of the boxes. Like the sides, it has numerous grooves to facilitate ventilation and weight reduction and nerves to increase the rigidity of the assembly. Under the windows that form the handles, they have a card holder to be able to provide information about the merchandise that contains the box.
Al igual que en otras cajas similares se ha previsto en el borde inferior de los testeros (3), de varias patillas (15), acodadas ortogonalmente hacia adentro y destinadas a introducirse en unas ventanas practicadas para el efecto en la cartela que es prolongación de la base en los bordes menores de la misma (16). Con esto se consigue que los esfuerzos que se producen al asir la caja por los asideros se transmitan a la base de los testeros y no a las bisagras, proporcionando mayor rigidez a la caja montada.As in other similar boxes, it is provided on the lower edge of the heads (3), of several pins (15), angled orthogonally inwards and intended to be introduced into windows made for the purpose of the cartouche that is extension of the base at the smaller edges of it (16). With this it is achieved that the efforts that occur when grabbing the box by the handles are transmitted to the base of the heads and not to the hinges, providing greater rigidity to the mounted box.
Con el fin de estabilizar la caja en situación de apertura, se ha previsto que los testeros (3) estén dotados en sus bordes laterales y cerca de su extremidad libre, de sendas proyecciones planas (17), con una nervadura central (27) para dotarla de mayor rigidez, orientadas hacia los laterales (2) y provistas de una pareja de aberturas (18), mientras que los laterales (2) incorporan en sus correspondientes vértices superiores un cajetín externo (19), que encaja a la perfección en la proyección plana del testero (17), emergiendo del fondo del cajetín (19), una pareja de arpones (20) capaces de acoplarse, al travesano (21) que independiza las dos aberturas (18), tal y como se observa en el detalle C.In order to stabilize the box in the opening situation, it is provided that the heads (3) are provided on their lateral edges and near their free end, with flat projections (17), with a central rib (27) for provide it with greater rigidity, oriented towards the sides (2) and provided with a pair of openings (18), while the sides (2) incorporate in their corresponding upper vertices an external box (19), which fits perfectly in the flat projection of the tester (17), emerging from the bottom of the box (19), a pair of harpoons (20) capable of coupling, to the crossbar (21) that makes the two openings (18) independent, as can be seen in the detail C.
Asimismo, los testeros (3) presentan un saliente (22) de longitud aproximadamente la mitad de la altura entre el borde inferior del mismo y la proyección plana (17) anterior, dispuestos de forma ortogonal al testero (3) y que encajan en sendas aberturas practicadas en los laterales y consiguen aumentar la estabilidad del conjunto, tal como se muestra en el detalle D. Estos salientes (22) están construidos con una serie de nervaduras (28) que aumentan su rigidez y resistencia mecánica.Likewise, the testeros (3) have a projection (22) of length approximately half the height between the lower edge of the same and the anterior flat projection (17), arranged orthogonally to the tester (3) and that fit in paths openings made on the sides and manage to increase the stability of the assembly, as shown in detail D. These projections (22) are constructed with a series of ribs (28) that increase their rigidity and mechanical strength.
Por último, resaltar que se ha realizado la base con un suelo o fondo liso, con el fin de evitar los daños que sufrían las frutas y hortalizas al apilarse varias cajas y clavarse los nervios inferiores de la caja en la fruta que sobresalía de las cajas dispuestas debajo. Esta superficie lisa forma suaves pendientes (23) , tal y como se muestra en el detalle A, que facilitan que el contenido no se desplace. Asimismo, se ha dispuesto en los testeros, de una pequeña ranura ( 24 ) en la que se encaja las patas ( 25 ) o bordes inferiores de la base, cuando están se encuentran plegadas, facilitando su transporte y almacenamiento, tal y como se muestra en el detalle B.Finally, it should be noted that the base has been made with a smooth floor or bottom, in order to avoid the damages suffered by fruits and vegetables by stacking several boxes and nailing the lower nerves of the box in the fruit that stood out from the boxes arranged below. This smooth surface forms smooth slopes (23), as shown in detail A, which facilitate that the content does not shift. Likewise, a small slot (24) in which the legs (25) or edges are fitted is arranged in the heads bottom of the base, when they are folded, facilitating transport and storage, as shown in detail B.
