Definitions

  • the present invention relates to boxes, and in particular to a front-opening box provided with a novel lid that allows a secure stacking of the boxes.
  • Boxes are usually stacked in order to make the best use of space, but this implies a difficulty in accessing the content of the boxes in that it is not easy to pull a box out of the stack, especially if the overlying boxes are heavy. Moreover, if you wish to maintain the same order of the boxes to avoid wasting time in the search of the right box, it is also necessary to put the box back to its position under the other boxes with a difficulty even greater than in pulling it out.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a box which is free from said drawbacks. This object is achieved by means of a box that includes means to fix on the base the lid in an upturned position as better defined in claim
  • the main advantage of the box according to the present invention is to permit a secure stacking, since the boxes can not shift one with respect to other and therefore the risk of tumbling of the stack is prevented.
  • a second significant advantage of the present box is that of retaining the advantage of prior art stackable front-opening boxes yet with a more conventional and therefore cheaper structure, that is also more readily accepted by the user.
  • Still another advantage of this box stems from the fact that it can be used also as a conventional box, whereby it is up to the user to decide whether to use it as a stacked box or as a stand alone box.
  • Fig.l is a front perspective view of the box base assembling
  • Fig.2 is a front perspective view of the application to said base of the handle and of the lid in the upturned position;
  • Fig.3 is a front perspective view of the fixing of the upturned lid on the base and of the placing of an overlying box; and ,
  • Fig.4 is a front perspective view of a stack of two boxes according to the invention.
  • a box according to the present invention conventionally consists of a base C of parallelepipedal shape that is closed at the top by a lid L of slightly greater size so as to be inserted onto the base.
  • base C has a cheap yet sturdy structure made up of a central member divided into three panels, each one with relevant end flaps, as well as two separate head panels. More specifically, the central member has a bottom panel B and two side panels S, that are connected to a front panel F and to a rear panel R by pins P with divergent legs, as shown along the bottom edge of panel R.
  • the opening of the front panel F may take place also by bending along a flexure line that is vertical rather than horizontal as in the illustrated example. In such a case the fixing of panel F, and the relevant holes H formed therein, would be achieved along one of its vertical sides by coupling with the flap of one of the side panels S.
  • lid L is provided with side tabs ST that, with the lid turned upside-down, are rotated downward and are provided with relevant holes TH that reach a position overlapping corresponding holes SH formed in the side panels S of base C.
  • the side tabs ST are preferably formed by punching directly into the top panel T of lid L, while it is clear that they could also be separate members applied to the lid, for example on the peripheral ridge PR. Furthermore, it is obvious that the number and arrangement of tabs ST illustrated in the figures is merely an example since the number, size and arrangement of the tabs can be freely changed according to the type of box, as long as there are at least two fixing points arranged on two sides of lid L. Similarly, in order to retain the front panel F in the closed position there are provided locking means that preferably consist of a tab FT that projects downward - A -
  • lid L on the front side must however exhibit a certain rigidity in order to effectively act as a lock, whereby it is not obtained by punching but it is a tab of plastic material that is introduced and blocked in a suitable slot formed in lid L.
  • the upturned lid L can therefore be fixed onto base C through tabs ST by means of further pins P, and its peripheral ridge PR rather than enclosing the top edge of base C acts as a seat for the bottom edge of base C of an overlying box. In this way, the two boxes are securely stacked since they can not slide one with respect to the other.
  • each one is introduced in the upturned lid of the underlying box, the front opening being assured by the fact that the flexure line FL' of the front panel F' of the overlying box projects with respect to the peripheral ridge PR of lid L of the underlying box.
  • base C may be closed by the relevant lid L' in a conventional way without making use of tabs ST.
  • lid L' it is possible to use the upturned arrangement also for the latter and to use the front opening as in all the other boxes in the stack.
  • lid L be double-faced, i.e. panel T has the same colour and/or decoration on both sides.
  • the above-described and illustrated embodiment of the box according to the invention is just an example susceptible of various modifications.
  • the means to fix the upturned lid onto the base may be different from tabs ST with relevant holes TH/SH into which pins P are introduced as illustrated above.
  • pins there could be press-studs, VelcroTM strips or other equivalent means.
  • tab FT to lock the front panel there could be used magnets, VelcroTM strips or other equivalent means.
  • the box can take any shape (e.g. round, triangular, etc.) and it can be made in any suitable material such as plastic, metal, wood and the like.
  • the structure of the box may provide both separate members that are assembled by the user, as described above, and pre-formed members that do not require any assembling.

Abstract

L’invention concerne une boîte empilable à ouverture par le devant, constituée d’une base (C) fermée sur le dessus par un couvercle (L) de dimensions légèrement supérieures pour pouvoir y être mis en place, la base (C) comportant un panneau avant (F) rabattable par rapport à celle-ci le long d’une ligne de flexion (FL), ainsi que des moyens pour fixer le couvercle (L) dans une position relevée sur la base (C), de préférence constitués de pattes latérales (ST) disposées sur le couvercle (L) et dotées de trous (TH) ménagés dans des positions correspondantes à des trous similaires (SH) ménagés dans la base (C) pour permettre l’insertion de broches de fixation (P). Les pattes latérales (ST) sont de préférence formées par découpage direct à l’emporte-pièce dans le panneau de dessus (T) du couvercle (L), lequel est également doté d’une patte (FT) qui fait saillie vers le bas dans le but de maintenir le panneau avant (F) en position fermée. De cette façon, le rebord périphérique (PR) du couvercle (L) sert d’appui pour le bord de dessous de la base d’une boîte située au-dessus, ce qui permet d’empiler boîtes en toute sécurité dans la mesure où elles ne peuvent pas glisser les unes par rapport aux autres.
