Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stackable box for the transport and storage of perishable products, such as fruits, vegetables and the like, obtained in cardboard material and by. the fixation of five independent pieces duly stamped, with cut and fold lines, to conveniently fix each other by gluing and determine a box of great resistance, both in the stacking and before possible blows to which it could be subjected, and even offering great resistance to compressive stresses and possible to withstand certain degrees of humidity without deterioration.
  • ns 9201772 as well as the certificate of addition thereto ns 9600958, a stackable box or tray for transporting perishable products and the like is described, as well as the procedure for obtaining it, a box that is obtained from compact cardboard as raw material, and is based on the proper assembly of five duly stamped pieces, so that one of them constitutes the bottom, two others constitute the major sides, and the remaining two the minor sides, with the particularity that the pieces that constitute the major sides extend in turn in extensions that in the assembly of the box are superimposed on the external surface of the roofs covering all of these and determining a double wall in them.
  • the wall of the front that is to say the internal one, is extended by its ends in an extension with transverse fold lines so that in the assembly they form prismatic-triangular reinforcements in the corners.
  • said box is complemented by longitudinal bottom tabs that are attached on the inner face and in correspondence with the lower part, in terms of height, of the major sides, determining a reinforcement to provide the box with greater resistance, that greater resistance being complemented with other tabs that, in correspondence with the upper edge of the larger sides, fold over the inner side of these, eyelashes obtained by cuts close to the ends of those larger sides, such cuts affecting approximately one third of the height of the piece that constitutes each side, with which these are reinforced both by the lower flange and by the upper flange, thus giving the box a great resistance.
  • the box that is recommended presents a series of improvements through which a box that offers greater resistance is achieved, as well as a better stabilization and retention thereof in its stacking between boxes, any That is the size of them.
  • one of the improvements of the invention consists in that in correspondence with the prismatic reinforcements of the corners two or three tabs are provided, depending on the number of walls with which these corner reinforcements count, and whose tabs they are of preferential and advantageously trapecial configuration, which overlap in the assembly of the box forming respective complementary projections of holes provided for this purpose in the corresponding areas of the bottom, whereby stacking between boxes causes the projections to be positioned in those holes lower, achieving a correct stabilization and immobilization between stacked boxes.
  • the corner reinforcements will preferably have three walls, both in correspondence with the sides and in correspondence with the heads, so that in these last two of the walls they correspond to the double wall of the headboard itself, while the third corresponds to a sector originated in the folding of the extensions of the treasury itself, while in correspondence with the sides one wall will correspond to the lateral one and the other two to sectors obtained by folding the extensions of the testeros, which means what in In this case, those extensions of the pockets on the basis of which the prismatic reinforcements of the corners are to be obtained, will have four delimited sectors among many other transversal fold lines, where one of the sectors is diagonally arranged in correspondence with the corner, and the other terraced houses as previously said both to the inner side of the side and to the inner side of the headboard, fixing in all cases by gluing.
  • the extensions of the testeros can have five sectors, so that in the folding they determine a triple wall in correspondence with the testero, a triple wall in correspondence with the side and a double wall in diagonal arrangement, counting each of these sectors with the corresponding tabs, to constitute, triple tabs in correspondence with the front and side slats and double tabs in correspondence with the two sectors arranged diagonally.
  • the diagonal sector may lack the tab provided for stacking, and have three tabs in correspondence with the heads and two tabs in correspondence with the lateral, as a consequence of which in this case the reinforcements instead of being triple wall, is triple wall only in the front and double wall on the sides.
  • Another characteristic detail of the invention consists in the fact that the pockets of this box thus formed, have a slight concavity towards the inside of the box, a concavity that is preferably achieved in the gluing operation of the pieces formed by the tester.
  • This concavity allows the immediately superior box, not only to rest on the corners, but, in addition, it will do so on the upper edge of the tester, thereby increasing their resistance and their ability to stack.
  • the larger side walls extend on both sides of the aforementioned intermediate sector in half-width flaps than that of the testers, adapting directly to the latter, in the absence of any type of folding and, consequently, in the absence also of the columns of stiffening of the previous case, with what that the content capacity for the box is maximum.
  • the classic side strips that emerge from the four edges of the bottom are also considerably oversized in height, so that the strips corresponding to the larger side walls extend to the level of the recesses. of the larger side walls, so that the inner folding flaps are adapted to the edge of said strips, while those corresponding to the smaller side walls constitute a practically exact reproduction of the corresponding tester and, consequently, constitute a "third" wall for said tester, together with the testator proper and with the extensions or flaps of the major side walls.
  • these wide strips of the constituent part of the bottom which participate in the reinforcement of the pockets, have at their ends small folding flaps, similar to those of said pockets, which in turn reinforce the corners or vertical edges of the box with a fourth reinforcement wall.

  • Figure 2. Shows a perspective of the box in an initial phase of assembly.
  • Figure 3. Shows a perspective view of the armed box in its entirety and duly glued by gluing the different parts and pieces that constitute it.
  • the box shown in the three referred figures can be considered as large and the prismatic reinforcements of the corners are triple wall, both in the front and side.
  • Figure 4. Shows, a perspective detail of a corner corresponding to a box as shown in the previous figures, and in which it can be seen how the reinforcement in question includes a triple wall in correspondence with the tester, a triple wall in correspondence with the side and a simple diagonal wall.
  • Figure 5. shows both paths, both in top view and in side section of the construction detail of the tester.
  • Figure 6. Shows, a perspective detail of a corner corresponding to a box, according to the embodiment intended to provide greater reinforcement in the corners, including a triple wall in correspondence with the front, a triple wall in correspondence with the side and a double diagonal wall.
  • Figure 7 shows a perspective detail of a corner corresponding to a box of smaller size than that represented in the previous figures, and in which the reinforcement for the corners includes a triple wall in correspondence with the tester, a wall double in correspondence with the side and a simple diagonal wall without flange.
  • Figure 8 shows a perspective exploded view of a stackable box made in accordance with the variant embodiment in which said box lacks prismatic columns at its edges.
  • Figure 9. Shows, also according to a perspective view, the same box of the previous figure duly armed.
  • Figure 10. It shows, finally, a sectional detail of two boxes such as those of figures 8 and 9, properly stacked, section made at the middle level of their heads.
  • the piece that constitutes the bottom (1) has perimetrically respective extensions (4), derived from two bending lines (5), so that the longitudinal extensions (4) will be attached by the inner side of the major sides, reaching an approximately intermediate height of those sides, while the other transverse extensions of the bottom (1) will be attached to the outer face of the wall
  • This concavity also allows that when the walls of the box dilate due to the effect of moisture, contained product etc., that bulge towards the exterior is compensated with the internal bulging made with its configuration, the walls of the front walls being unfavorable with a flat appearance.
  • the appearance of the concave walls towards the inside of the heads can be seen in Figure 5, the upper one showing a top plan view of the detail of the head (6) and how that slight concavity towards the inside of the box is observed by comparison with the straight dotted line that defined a flat face.
  • the lower figure of that same figure 5 shows a section AB of the tester (6) through which it is observed how at the central point the penetration into the tester is observed.
  • Both the poles and the bottom will be affected by aeration holes, while the major sides (3) have extensions (7) obtained from a longitudinal folding line, above their average height, whose extensions (7) they fold towards the interior by attaching and fixing themselves by gluing, like the rest of the pieces and parts, to the inner side of the sides themselves (3), forming together with the extensions (4) some reinforcements that endow each side of great resistance
  • the heads (2) are extended at their ends in extensions with transverse fold lines between which sectors (8), (9), (10) and (11) are determined that in the assembly of the box they will form prismatic-triangular reinforcements in the corners, leaving the sector (8) attached to the inner side of the respective side (3), while the sector (9) is diagonally arranged.
  • the sector (10) is attached to the internal face of the tester (2) and the sector (11) is attached to the internal face of the initial sector itself (8), in logically corresponding to the sides, thus determining in the corners and in correspondence with these reinforcements, a triple wall, as can be clearly seen in Figure 4.
  • These sectors have on their upper edge tabs (12), of preferential configuration and advantageously trapecial and located in correspondence with the central area of the upper edge of each tester (8), (9), (10) and (11), while that in correspondence with the lower edge, these sectors are affected by small complementary recesses (13), also being observed both in the extension (6) of each of the lateral ends (3) and in the extreme and upper part of each lateral , other tabs, also referenced with (12), which are the same as those referred to above, counting in correspondence with the lower part of that extension (6) and the side itself (3), with recesses (13), equally analogous to of the sectors discussed above.
  • holes (14) that affect the bottom are provided, so that in the assembly of the box the tabs (12) form upper projections of trapecial configuration, which in the heads and on the sides they are triple and in the intermediate sector (9) of the prismatic reinforcement it is simple, and whose projections, in the stacking between boxes, are perfectly located in the holes (14) of the bottom, of which the recesses are also part ( 13), thus achieving a perfect stabilization and immobilization between stacked boxes.
  • the box can have aeration openings and grip handle, also determined by an opening, also having a lower height of the sides that also favors the aeration of the products contained in the box.
  • the heads (2) are extended at their ends in extensions with transverse fold lines between which five sectors (8 ') are determined, (9' ), (10 '), (11') and (15), in such a way that in the folding of the box they will form reinforcements in the corners being the sectors (8 ') and (11') attached to the side of the box, the sector (10 ') attached to the head (6') and the sectors (9 ') and (15) in diagonal arrangement.

Abstract

L'invention se fonde sur le fait qu'en correspondance avec les renforcements prismatiques des coins, deux ou trois rebords sont prévus sur la partie supérieure en fonction du nombre de parois que lesdits éléments de renforcement des coins comportent à cet effet et dont les rebords présentent de préférence une configuration trapézoïdale, lesquels sont superposés dans l'armature de la boîte formant ainsi des saillies respectives qui sont complémentaires de trous prévus à cet effet dans les zones correspondantes du fond. Dans des boîtes de grandes dimensions, les renforcements des coins auront de préférence trois parois, tant en correspondance avec les parties latérales qu'avec les parties frontales. Pour assurer un renforcement optimisé, les extensions des parties frontales doivent comporter cinq secteurs, de telle sorte que lors du pliage, ceux-ci déterminent une triple paroi en correspondance avec la partie frontale, une triple paroi en correspondance avec la partie latérale et une double paroi diagonale. Chaque secteur disposera des rebords correspondants pour former des triples rebords en correspondance avec les parties frontales et latérales et des doubles rebords en correspondance avec les deux secteurs placés en diagonale.
