Description

Stackable container

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the set forth in this specification, refers to a container stackable of the type comprising a bottom, two walls lateral sides major or sides and two minor lateral walls or testeros.

It is a container of the type as described in the European invention patent with publication number 2322075 referred to a monomaterial container for fruit and vegetable use, so that in the package of the invention the connection between the walls lateral (front and side) is not done by interacting slots with male elements, but male elements interact each other, incorporating the slots only in the connection of the bottom with side walls.

Starting from this premise, the object of the invention is a stackable container with improvements that help stabilize and reinforce the assembly of the container itself and they also help improve stacking, spreading more Homogeneous weight of stacked containers, while facilitating their fitting during stacking.

Therefore, the invention provides a container better in terms of resistance with high weights and optimizes the automatic manipulation

Background of the invention

At present different types are known of boxes and containers made of corrugated cardboard materials as well like other materials of greater consistency, so that in all the cases are formed containers that generally comprise a fund, two major side walls or sides and two side walls minors or testeros.

The invention patent is also known. European publication number 2322075 referring to a container monomaterial for horticultural use with lid that describes basically fixing means between side walls and bottom by tongue and groove coupling, also incorporating a part top as a cover arranged in correspondence with your mouthpiece.

Description of the invention

The stackable container that constitutes the object of the invention is determined from laminar bodies independent of cardboard or other sheet material, comprising said laminar structure, a bottom, two major side walls or sides and two minor side walls or front walls.

It is characterized because it incorporates some elements planes determined by seat plates that support the free edges of the heads and also on a few portions extremes of the edges of the sides.

In turn, the aforementioned seat plates ensure its positioning by means of characteristic tabs that are part of the front and sides emerging upwards of them, fitting them into slots complementary to the seat plates.

Another feature of the invention is that those tabs complement each other with established lower entrances on the side walls of the container itself, so that during stacking, the tabs of a lower container fit together in addition to the bottom recesses of a container superior, thus achieving a safe, reliable and stable stacking precise, so that the tabs generate retention stops for improve stacking stability against displacement lateral, since they are complemented with the entrees provided to the effect, on the side walls themselves.

The new seat plates manage to expand the bottom support surface of adjacent containers or higher, so that the weight is more evenly distributed of the stacked containers while facilitating the fitting of the same. In addition, it should be noted that these tabs have vertices rounded, which also contribute to the centering of the container.

All this improves the packaging of the invention, in as far as resistance with high weights is concerned and also Optimizes automatic manipulation.

The new container structure of the invention prevents deformation during lateral compression during stacking On the other hand it should also be noted that the sides and testeros engage each other by means of characteristic means of anchorage.

Next to facilitate a better understanding of this descriptive report and being an integral part of the same, a single figure is accompanied in which with character illustrative and not limiting the object of the invention.

Description of the preferred embodiment

Considering the numbering adopted in the figures, the stackable container comprises a bottom 1, two walls lateral sides 2 or two and two minor lateral walls or testeros 3, the latter counting with openings centered 4 to handle mode to handle the container comfortably. Each one of these elements (side walls and bottom) are independent pieces that they crimp each other by their adjacent edges.

In turn, sides 2 incorporate in their free edges wide trapezoidal recesses 5.

On the free edge of the 3 and 3 extreme sections of the free edges of the sides 2 tear off trapecial tabs 6-7 of rounded vertices which are complemented with a larger entree 8-9 arranged at the bottom of sides 2 and front 3, said entrances being aligned vertically with the tabs Trapecials 6-7. The testeros 3 incorporate other 6 'minor tabs that complement each other's smaller recesses 8 '.

On the other hand, the package incorporates two plates extreme seating 10 affected by slots 11-11'-12 where some fit lower portions of the trapezoid tabs 6-7 and also the minor tabs 6 ', while such extreme seat plates 10 rest on the free edges of 3 and the extreme portions of the free edges of the sides 2.

So, during stacking, a container upper supports by its bottom 1 on the two seat plates extreme 10, while the trapezoid tabs 6-7 and minor tabs 6 'from the top container are fit in the starters 8-8'-9 of the respective top container.

In this way we achieve total stability and safety in the stacking of containers, as well as a large rigidity and robustness in the assembly of the container.

In another embodiment shown in Figure 2, in replacement of the two plates of the seat 10 two are planned pairs of 10 'corner seat plates that rest on extreme portions of the free edges of the heads 3 and also on extreme portions of the free edges of the sides 2. In In this case, such corner plates 10 'are affected of slots 11 '' and 12 'to allow the passage and fit of the minor tabs 6 'and trapezoidal tabs 7 of the heads 3 and 2 sides, respectively.

On the other hand, sides 2 and front 3 they link each other by means of characteristic anchoring means, as shown more clearly in figure 3.

These anchoring means comprise a combination of fins 13-14 and recesses 15-16 arranged alternately in the adjacent lateral edges of sides 2 and front 3, of so that the fins 13 of the heads 2 fit into the recesses 16 on sides 2 and vice versa, incorporating some and other fins 13-14 extreme teeth 17-18 that delimit some small gaps 19-20 where extreme portions of the fins when the container is mounted, end portions adjacent to the small holes 19-20 and extreme teeth 17-18.

In turn, the side edges of the heads 3 incorporate angular appendages 21 in which they seat some straight terminations 22 of fins 16 of sides 2.
