Description

Exhibitor box

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a box display, specifically a cardboard box that can be used for transport and storage of different types of products, which level of the center of sale to the consumer of the products housed inside it, it becomes an exhibitor for facilitate the location of the products on the corresponding ones shelves and to keep them properly regrouped in the breast from the same.

The object of the invention is to get a box which in its use as such a container element offers some optimal performance from the point of view of protecting your content, and that at the time of becoming an exhibitor maintains a perfect aesthetic finish, and all with a character single piece

The invention thus falls within the scope of packaging, and more specifically in the industry dedicated to manufacture of cardboard boxes for packaging.

Background of the invention

Structured cardboard boxes are known by a laminar body, equipped with folding lines that allow its conversion into a tubular body, whose mouths extend into closure flaps to configure a body prismatic-rectangular dimensions and capacity suitable, prismatic body that in correspondence with its walls major sides and one of its minor walls, incorporates a line precut that allows the removal of the upper part of the body to turn it into a usable display tray without extract the product for implantation of it on the shelf of the establishments of sale, so that product results Visible and directly accessible to consumers.

The problem with this type of boxes is that in many times the tearing does not occur by the planned lines for this purpose, and on other occasions during said tearing there is a deterioration of screen printing, so that the display tray obtained from the original box has a more or less appearance deplorable, in any case with a negative effect on the product that is being exposed.

Trying to ignore this problem are known boxes in which the two portions of it appear clearly delimited origin, configuring a body and a plug-in cover in said body, similar to how a box closes shoes, but with the particularity that the body of the box is configured, like the complementary cover, so that in opening situation its front wall results in minimum height and its side walls of progressively increasing height towards back, to show the product, as previously stated, but this solution brings with it the need to start from two physically independent pieces, which must be properly formed in the assembly of the box, which complicates said assembly and the product is very expensive.

Description of the invention

The display box that the invention proposes solves the problem fully satisfactorily previously exposed, so that it offers benefits equivalent to those of a conventional two-piece box, but It is structured from a single piece.

To do this and more specifically the box that advocates part of a laminar and single piece body, as just that is to say, in which by means of folding lines they are established sectors corresponding to its major side walls and minor, prolonged in the corresponding closing flaps, but with the special feature that one of the sectors of the laminar body, the corresponding to what will be the smaller face and front of the display tray, incorporates a wide cut transverse that extends to the corresponding sectors of its major lateral faces, where said cut undergoes inflections obtuse that are directed towards the proximity of the vertices upper and rear of the major side walls, of ways that these cuts, established of origin, maintain unchanged the structure of the box, at the time of its opening, since there is no tearing line that could harm your esthetic.

As a complement to the structure described and according to the essentiality of the invention, said lines of oblique cut, before reaching the posterior and superior vertex of the major lateral walls, suffer an obtuse bending determinant of a short vertical section, specifically perpendicular to the bottom of the box, from whose ends two emerge folding lines that go to the side edge, free and next to said major walls, the plague line coinciding bottom with the top edge of one of the side walls smaller, the corresponding one, which is under-sized in height with respect to the rest of the sectors or walls that make up the box.

In this way at the time of armed box the small rectangular sector defined by said lines of folded in the postero-superior zone of each of the upper walls of the box are folded through the line of lower folding on the lower part of the walls major sides, while there is a folding in the direction  opposite on the upper folding line, which brings a decrease in the upper area of the box defined by the lines of cutting mentioned above, which makes said upper area partially overlap the lower one by sealing said cutting lines and that makes the effective height of all the side walls of the box becomes coincident, leaving the upper area of the box mostly embedded within the lower zone, or vice versa.

According to another of the characteristics of the invention the cross section and middle that separates the two portions upper and lower of the front of the box, has two ascending extensions in correspondence with the lines of folding laterally delimiting the minor side wall corresponding, so that these extensions allow a tongue and groove coupling between lid and body, positioned by example the zones corresponding to the zones corresponding to the major side walls of the lid outside those of the body, while the upper area of the front wall is situated inside the lower area corresponding to the body, with which achieves a remarkable boost in the stability of the box in closed position.

In addition, it has been provided on the cover, specifically in the vicinity of small sectors delimited by the double folding lines, of respective nails that facilitate the opening of the box and its transformation into a tray exhibitor

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows a development in plant of a display box made in accordance with the purpose of the present invention, just as the laminar body leaves the machine die cutter

Figure 2.- Shows a similar representation at 1, but after folding the laminar body through the double fold lines that configure the small sectors that relate the lower portion or base body to the portion top or case lid.

Figure 3.- Shows, finally, a view in perspective of the armed and semi-closed box.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined, especially of figure 1, it can be seen how the box that is recommended is constituted from a laminar and single piece body (1) of cardboard, equipped with vertical folding lines (2) that determine the same five sectors (3), (4), (4 '), (5), of which the first of them (3) constitutes one day the minor side walls of the box, which has to be its front wall, the sectors (4-4 ') constitute its major side walls and the sectors (5-5 ') constitute, upon closing over themselves the other minor side wall of the tubular body of the box, later, extending all these sectors in respective extreme flaps (6) that, bending orthogonally inwards and overlapping each other, they will establish in bottom or bottom base of the box and its upper base.

Well, according to the invention, the extreme sectors (5-5 ') have a height substantially lower than the rest of the sectors, remaining tucked by its upper extremity, and in the intermediate sector (2), the one corresponding to the front face of the box, is established a lower window (7), which can adopt the configuration isoscelic and inverted trapecial of the figures or any other appropriate, and that in any case extends in two lines of transversal cuts (8) that extend substantially towards the larger side walls (4-4 '), and that at then they suffer an obtuse bending determinant of a section oblique and ascending (9) that is directed towards the vertex postero-superior of the major lateral walls (4-4 '), finishing off in a short section (10), again layered obtusely, which is parallel to the fold lines (2) and from whose ends emerge two lines of folded (11) extending towards the vertical edge, free and corresponding of said major side walls (4-4 '), delimiting a small rectangular sector (13) on each of the side walls (4-4 ').

According to this structuring, the small sectors (13) that are foldable by the folding line (11) lower on the lower portion of the lateral faces older (4-4 '), so this brings with it that the portion of the laminar body (1) corresponding to what will be the cover of the display box is offset vertically with respect to the lower portion, well penetrating in its bosom or overlapping externally, reaching three walls, front and sides of the box a height coinciding with that of the other minor wall (5-5 '), the later, as can be seen from the observation in figure (2), leaving the cut lines (9) hidden, as well as the line of section (8) and the intermediate window (7), as shown in the figure 3.

In this situation and thanks to the special provision of the aforementioned cutting lines (8) and (9), not only get the box closed but also the front wall of its cover (3) rest through its lower edge (14) on the bottom of the box, greatly increasing the resistance of the same in the stacking.

A lid can also be carried out between  tongue and groove coupling, for which purpose the lines cutting (8) extend in ascending cut lines (15), located on the fold lines (2), which delimit the face front of the box at the level of the lid, so that these lines cutting (14) of considerable width prevents the formation of double corner in the assembly of the box and allow, for example, the central sector (3) of the lid penetrates into the body while the lateral sectors (4) adapt externally to the same, which also helps to improve the resistant structure of the box against any force outside it.

The structure described is complemented by a pair of nails (16) located on the upper sector of the major side walls (4), that is to say on the sector of same corresponding to the cover and in the vicinity of the small folding sectors (13), so that through these nail is feasible to introduce one of the fingers of the hand to facilitate the opening of the box.
