Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to packaging.
  • the present invention relates to a packaging carton formed by deforming a planar element.
  • Skillet is a cover adapted to envelop a tray of a packaging carton.
  • the packaging cartons are used for packaging articles such as chocolates, sweets, candles, wines, soaps, cosmetics, fine giftware, mobiles, FMCG, consumer electronics markets, and the like.
  • Examples of packaging cartons that include sliding elements are sliding cover type packaging cartons, packaging cartons with drawers in series or packaging cartons with double- decked drawers.
  • a sliding cover type packaging carton (hereinafter referred to as packaging carton) is made of a paper board or similar material and includes a tray portion and a sliding cover.
  • the tray portion is constructed by folding a paper board blank to form a rectangular tray like construction that has a base, a front wall, a rear wall and a pair of upwardly extending opposing side walls.
  • the base, the front wall, the rear wall and the pair of upwardly extending opposing side walls define an interior cavity of the tray portion.
  • the interior cavity of the tray portion is adapted to securely hold the articles that are to be packaged.
  • the tray portion is covered by the sliding cover.
  • the sliding cover is also constructed by folding a paper board blank to form a top face, a bottom face and a pair of side walls connecting the top face to the bottom face.
  • the sliding cover is open from front and rear side thereof to facilitate sliding in and sliding out of the tray portion of the packaging carton into the sliding cover.
  • the packaging carton is adapted to take a closed configuration, a partially closed configuration or an open configuration depending on user's requirement. More specifically, the sliding cover is adapted to slide on the tray portion such that either of the top face or the bottom face of the sliding cover is adapted to cover, partially cover or uncover the tray portion of the packaging carton to define the closed, partially closed or open configuration of the packaging carton.
  • the sliding cover covers the articles held in the tray portion of the packaging carton and prevents direct contact of the articles with the surroundings when the packaging carton is in its closed configuration. In the open configuration of the packaging carton the sliding cover uncovers the articles held in the tray portion of the packaging carton, thereby providing maximum access to the articles held therein.
  • the sliding cover may be completely separated from the tray portion of the packaging carton, thereby increasing the chances of misplacing the sliding cover. Further, with regular opening and closing of the packaging carton, grip of the sliding cover over the tray portion may loosen and may increase chances of accidental dropping down of the tray portion from the sliding cover while the packaging carton is handled by the cover only.
  • US Patent US2295747 discloses a slide cover box including a body and a slidable cover.
  • the slidable cover is mounted over the body of the box.
  • the edges of the cover are curled to provide marginal beads which form inter-engaging stops to limit the extent of sliding movement of the cover.
  • the disclosure of the slide cover box of the US Patent US2295747 is ineffective in manufacturing of the packaging cartons.
  • US Patent US3362564 discloses a sliding lid boxes wherein the boxes can be opened through lids from one direction only and the lids cannot be removed after assembly.
  • the sliding lid box of the US Patent US3362564 includes lids for opening and closing of the box.

  • the sliding cover safety package includes a container having a cover mounted thereon for slidable movement between open and closed positions with respect to the container.
  • the container and cover are provided with locking lugs having a locked position when the cover is closed in which the cover is locked against movement from its closed position with respect to the container, and an unlocked position when the cover is closed in which the cover can slide with respect to the container to its open position.
  • the locking lugs are movable between the locked and unlocked positions by axial movement of the cover with respect to the container.
  • Resilient biasing members are engaged between the container and cover to bias the locking lugs to the locked position such that the cover can slide from its closed position with respect to the container only after axial movement of the cover with respect to the container against the biasing members.
  • the disclosure of the sliding cover safety package of the US Patent US3942630 is ineffective in manufacturing of the packaging cartons.
  • US Patent US4342403 discloses a box and lid construction.

The peripheral sidewalls of the cover member overlie peripheral sidewalls of the tray and latching members on the sidewalls of the cover member and tray cooperate to retain the cover member in a closed position relative to the tray.
  • the latching members are released by applying an inward pressure to the top wall of the cover member, to 1 thereby bias the sidewalls of the cover member outwardly relative to the sidewalls of the tray.
  • An abutment member on the tray prevents such inward deflection of the top wall of the cover member in the event that a child bites down on the package in the forward region thereof.
  • a peripheral skirt is provided on the tray for overlying lower marginal surfaces of the peripheral walls of the cover member, to thereby prevent a child from wedging his or her teeth between the peripheral walls of the cover member and tray, and thereafter prying the cover member off of the tray.
  • the child resistant package of the US Patent US4844284 requires pressure for releasing of the latching members.
