Definitions
- Box for packing tablets, spray bottles and similar, and a method for manufacturing such boxes are described.
- the present invention relates to a box for packing tablets, spray bottles and similar of the type used for, for example, throat lozenges, powder, for accommodating spray bottles and similar.
- This tablet box which can thus be used for products other than tablets, has a size and a design similar to known tablet boxes and it can be kept in a pocket, bag or other suitable place about a person who is to use the contents.
- Tablets which people carry with them are often packed in sealed bags which have a tear-off indication for one of the edges at which the bag can be opened by tearing off so that the person has access to the contents. It is then hardly possible to reseal such a bag, indeed the contents must be of such a type that they withstand being exposed to air and they must also be in the form of tablets of such a size that they do not easily fall out through the opening which is usually closed simply by folding. Tablets are also distributed in the form of boxes with a front and a rear side, two edge sides, a bottom side and a lid which usually starts from the rear side and can be folded over the opening and closed by insertion of a flap into a part of the box. Such boxes are widely used for various sorts of throat lozenges and are well-known. They can also be used for various kinds of powder which then have to be contained in a plastic bag which can accommodate the entire contents or in the form of portion bags.
- a box for packing tablets, spray bottles and similar comprising a front side and a rear side, two narrower edge sides and a bottom side and also an upper lid side which can be folded forwards in at least two steps and constitutes an extension of the rear side
- which box is characterized by an inner lid constituting an extension of the front side by means of an inwardly directed edge side from the upper end of the front side with an opening for removal of the contents, which edge side can be folded when it meets the rear side and, with a length at least corresponding to the thickness of the box, is fastened to the rear side lid and then folded forwards through an angle of 90° both on the sides and along the rear side fastening, constituting the inner lid which can be opened and closed together with the outer rear side lid.
- the outer lid it is suitable for the outer lid to be provided, on its outermost edge, with a locking tongue intended to be introduced into a slit in the front side close to the
- the outer lid can be perforated approximately in its central part, the outer part being intended to be capable of being torn off, then forming one or more locking tongues on the tear-off edge of the inner part for insertion into corresponding slits in the front side of the box.
- the flaps on the edge sides of the outermost folding portion of the inner lid, which constitute the sides thereon in the folded-forward state to have a width which is the same as the thickness of the box.
- the invention is highly suitable for two flaps extending in opposite directions to be arranged on both the side flaps on the inner lid for on the one hand securing the latter by gluing one of these flaps on both the side flaps to the outer lid and on the other hand reinforcing the sides on the lid by folding and gluing the other folded flap on both the side flaps to these.
- the invention also comprises a method for manufacturing the boxes according to the invention, which method is carried out in five steps and includes introduction of the material which is to be kept in the box.
- Fig. 1 shows a stamped-out cardboard sheet which, in the folded and glued state, will constitute the box according to the invention
- Fig. 2 shows the folding and the introduction of an object into the half-finished box
- Fig. 3 shows a finished box according to the invention with the lid unfolded.
- Figure 1 shows a stamped-out piece of cardboard or board in the unfolded state, which constitutes the starting blank for the production of the packing box according to the present invention.
- the material for this starting blank can be that which is normally used for such packing boxes, consisting of approximately 90% board and 10% polyethylene which constitutes a coating on the board. Other suitable materials are of course also possible.
- That part of the starting blank which is to constitute the front side of the box is designated by 1 , and the rear side is designated by 2.
- a piece 3 which will constitute the lid side or emptying side of the box.
- This part 3 is provided with a suitable opening 4 for emptying out the contents. Approximately half of the opening can be left behind as a foldable flap on the piece 1. This flap is intended as a locking piece 21.
- a piece 5 which can be folded towards the piece 3, has a length in the longitudinal direction of the unfolded blank corresponding to the thickness of the box and constitutes the piece which is to be fastened to the rear lid.
- a piece 6 which can be folded towards the latter, which piece 6 is approximately the same size as the piece 5 but has upwardly foldable side flaps 7 which will constitute the side on the inner lid.
- Upwardly foldable side edges 9 are arranged on both sides of the piece 1. These side edges 9 are provided with flaps 10 which are intended to be folded inwards in the finished box, that is to say upwards towards the reader. To the left of the front piece 1 , there is a downwardly foldable part constituting the bottom part 11. Arranged in the front side 1 , close to this piece 11 , is a slit 12 for insertion of the locking flap 13 on the outer lid.
- the rear side piece 2 of the box continues in an extension 16 which can be folded in relation to the rear piece 2 and has a length in the longitudinal direction of the blank of approximately the thickness of the box. Beyond the extension 16, there is finally the rear side lid 17 which can be folded in relation to the extension 16 and bears the flap 13 for insertion in the slit 12.
- this rear side lid 17 is approximately square but it can be designed differently and does not have to be so long.
- it can be perforated, suitably in the central portion, and the outer part can then be intended to be torn off and provide space for a list of contents or similar.
- the tear-off edge on the remaining part of the rear side lid 17 one or more flaps must then be formed for insertion into the front side of the box when it is closed. This is indicated in Figure 3.
- An opening 18 can suitably be designed in the rear side lid 17 for hanging the box on a bar or the like in the open state.
- Figure 2 shows the box during assembly.
- the numbers used here relate to the same components as the numbers in Figure 1. How the various parts are folded and brought together emerges clearly from the figure.
- a spray bottle or the like 19 is intended to be introduced into the box before it is finally glued together. It is important that the nozzle on this bottle 19 will protrude through the opening 4 in the piece 3. Assembly can be carried out in a number of steps.
- the stamped-out sheet is pressed down in a folding station, and the flaps 10 are glued on the outside and fastened to the piece 11 which is simultaneously folded up. In this position, a bottle or bag can be put in place.
- step two glue is applied to the sides 9 and 16, and the rear piece 2 is folded forwards.
- the edge sides 14 are then folded down and glued on the outside of the side edges 9.
- the cavity in the box is now finished and tablets can now be metered in if other contents have not previously been introduced.
- the flaps 8 are folded and glued and they are folded over the piece 5 and glued on.
- the flap 22 is folded and glued on the piece 6.
- the piece 3 is folded inwards, and the pieces 5 and 16 are glued together.
- the locking piece 21 is folded outwards, and outer sealing over the opening 4 with a part-coated label can be carried out if appropriate. Both lids can then be closed. As the inner lid is closed, a snap is heard when the locking tongue enters into engagement with the locking flap.
- Figure 3 shows the box in the fully assembled but open state.
- the side edges 9 and 14 have been joined together, and the piece 3 has been brought into position by virtue of the piece 5 having been glued to the rear side lid 17.
- the piece 6 has been folded up from the rear side lid 17, the side flaps 7 have been bent inwards, and the flaps 8 on the side flaps 7 have been bent on the one hand outwards and glued to the side flaps 7 and on the other hand inwards towards the rear side lid 17 and glued thereto.
- the latter flaps 8 are therefore not visible in the figure.
- the outer rear side lid 17 is folded together with the inner lid around the folding line 20.
- the sides 7, 8 on the inner lid will then slide on the outside of the edge sides 9, 14, and the piece 6 will come to lie on top of the front side 1.
- the rear side lid 17 is then folded over the inner lid, and the locking tongue 13 is guided down into the slit 12 or, if the rear side lid 17 has the second embodiment, the flaps which are then brought about are pushed down into corresponding slits.
- the contents in the packing box are therefore stored safely by virtue of the fact that a double lid protects the opening.
- the inner lid can also be used as a dose-measuring compartment as a suitable number of tablets can be shaken out into it or the compartment can be filled or partly filled with powder or other material.
- the present invention therefore affords the double advantage that the material contained in it is well protected by the double lid and the box itself can be used as a dose-measuring compartment.
- a protective paper can be arranged on the inside of the box. This is suitably applied after the sheet has been stamped out but before assembly.
- the invention is not limited to the embodiments shown but can be varied in different ways within the scope of the patent claims.
