Description

Compartimentador para cajas de cartón.Compartment for cardboard boxes.

Object of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a un elemento compartimentador, especialmente concebido para establecer en el seno de una caja de cartón un determinado número de compartimentos, preferentemente de dimensiones iguales.The present invention relates to an element compartmentalizer, specially designed to establish within from a cardboard box a certain number of compartments, preferably of equal dimensions.

El objeto de la invención es conseguir un compartimentador que, estando obtenido a partir de una pieza única de cartón, sea fijable a una de las paredes interiores de una caja de cartón, y sea a su vez capaz de plegarse y desplegarse conjuntamente con ésta última, de forma automática, al objeto de que, cumpliendo su función básica como tal compartimentador, permita el almacenaje de la caja con el compartimentador fijado al interior de la misma, en situación de máximo aplanamiento, o lo que es lo mismo, con una situación volumétrica mínima.The object of the invention is to achieve a compartmentalizer that, being obtained from a single piece cardboard, can be fixed to one of the inner walls of a box of cardboard, and in turn be able to fold and unfold together with the latter, automatically, in order to that, fulfilling its basic function as such a compartmentalizer, allows the storage of the box with the compartment set inside of it, in a situation of maximum flattening, or what is same, with a minimal volumetric situation.

Es también objeto de la invención, obviamente, que los objetos establecidos en dichos compartimentos se mantengan aislados entre si, evitando roces o golpes directos entre ellos.It is also object of the invention, obviously, that the objects established in said compartments are maintained isolated from each other, avoiding friction or direct blows between them.

Background of the invention

Para el envasado de distintos tipos de productos, mas concretamente para el embalaje de los envases que los contienen, es habitual el uso de cajas de cartón prismático rectangulares, que permiten una disposición reticular y ortogonal, concretamente cuadrangular, de los envases, formando alineaciones longitudinales y transversales en el interior de la caja.For the packaging of different types of products, more specifically for packaging containers than contain, it is usual to use prismatic cardboard boxes rectangular, allowing a reticular and orthogonal arrangement, specifically quadrangular, of the containers, forming alignments longitudinal and transverse inside the box.

También es conocido el establecimiento en el interior de estas cajas prismáticas de elementos compartimentadores, generalmente de cartón ondulado, que actúan como tabiques independizadores entre los espacios correspondientes a los objetos a envasar y, además, como amortiguadores, evitando el contacto o impacto directo entre tales objetos.The establishment in the inside these prismatic boxes of compartmental elements, usually of corrugated cardboard, which act as partitions independence between the spaces corresponding to the objects to pack and also as shock absorbers, avoiding contact or direct impact between such objects.

Generalmente estos compartimentadores son físicamente independientes de la caja, de manera que se almacenan por separado, las cajas plegadas por un lado y los compartimentadores también plegados por otro, debiendo procederse a la instalación del compartimentador en el interior de la caja, en el momento en el que ésta última ha sido desplegada y se encuentra en condiciones de recibir los objetos de que se trate. Esto supone un problema evidente tanto desde el punto de vista de almacenaje como de manipulación.Usually these compartmenters are physically independent of the box, so that they are stored separately, the boxes folded on one side and the compartments also folded by another, and must proceed to the installation of the compartmenter inside the box, in the moment in which the latter has been deployed and is in conditions of receiving the objects in question. This is a problem evident both from the point of view of storage and of manipulation

Description of the invention

El compartimentador para cajas de cartón que la invención propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, permitiendo por un lado el que caja y compartimentador formen un conjunto único por cuanto que el compartimentador va pegado de origen a una de las paredes interiores de la caja, y además que las maniobras de pegado e inserción puedan efectuarse de forma mecanizada, con la consecuente y positiva repercusión que esto supone a nivel de costos, y sin que el usuario, en el momento de utilización del conjunto, tenga que realizar otra maniobra mas que el simple desplegado de la caja.The compartmentalizer for cardboard boxes that proposed invention resolves in a fully satisfactory way the problematic previously exposed, allowing on the one hand the box and compartmenter form a unique set because the compartment is originally attached to one of the interior walls of the box, and also that the paste and insert maneuvers can be carried out mechanically, with the consequent and positive impact that this supposes at cost level, and without the user, at the time of using the set, have to perform another maneuver more than the simple unfolding of the box.

Para ello y de forma mas concreta, el compartimentador que la invención propone se materializa en una pieza laminar, preferentemente de cartón, de contorno rectangular, provista de dos líneas transversales de plegado que definen en la misma tres sectores, un sector intermedio de anchura coincidente con la tercera parte de la anchura de una de las paredes laterales de la caja, preferentemente de una de sus paredes laterales menores, y dos sectores extremos, iguales dimensionalmente entre sí, considerablemente mas anchos, concretamente de anchura coincidente con la de otro tipo de pared lateral de la caja, preferentemente con la de una de sus paredes mayores.To do this and more specifically, the compartmentalizer that the invention proposes is embodied in a laminar piece, preferably cardboard, rectangular contour, provided with two transverse folding lines that define in the same three sectors, an intermediate sector of width coinciding with the third part of the width of one of the side walls of the box, preferably one of its minor side walls, and two extreme sectors, dimensionally equal to each other, considerably wider, specifically of matching width with that of another type of side wall of the box, preferably with that of one of its major walls.

En cada uno de los citados sectores extremos se establece una pluralidad de troquelados con eliminación de material determinantes de ranuras relacionadas entre sí mediante líneas de plegado transversales. Concretamente dichas ranuras o troquelados se repiten formal y posicionalmente en ambos sectores extremos, con la única particularidad de que mientras en un caso adoptan posicionalmente una orientación dirigida hacia el sector central, en el otro lo hacen hacia la extremidad libre del mismo.In each of the aforementioned extreme sectors, establishes a plurality of die cut with material removal Slot determinants related to each other using lines of cross folding. Specifically said grooves or die cut they repeat formally and positionally in both extreme sectors, with the unique feature that while in a case they adopt positionally oriented towards the central sector, in the other do it towards the free extremity of it.

Las líneas de plegado que relacionan dichas ranuras, (por sus extremos), además de estar dispuestas transversalmente como anteriormente se ha dicho, están equidistanciadas, es decir que están separadas entre sí y con respecto a los bordes de cada sector en una magnitud coincidente con la cuarta parte del mismo, lo que equivale a decir que están separadas en una magnitud que es la cuarta parte de la anchura de una de las paredes laterales mayores de la caja.The folding lines that relate these grooves, (at their ends), in addition to being arranged transversely as previously stated, they are equidistant, that is to say that they are separated from each other and with with respect to the edges of each sector in a magnitude coinciding with a quarter of it, which is equivalent to saying that they are separated by a magnitude that is a quarter of the width of one of the major side walls of the box.

Las citadas ranuras adoptan una configuración en "U" de ramas laterales oblicuas y convergentes, concretamente convergentes en una ranura extrema de uno de los sectores mayores y en ambas ranuras extremas del otro sector lateral, mientras que la otra ranura extrema de un sector lateral adopta una configuración en "U" cuyas ramas laterales se arquean y se prolongan considerablemente mas allá de su rama media, presentando las dos ranuras intermedias de cada sector dos ramas laterales oblicuas, con prolongaciones laterales similares pero que salen de la zona media de sus ramas laterales en lugar de hacerlo como prolongación de sus extremos, como en el caso anteriormente citado.The mentioned slots adopt a configuration in "U" of oblique and convergent lateral branches, specifically converging in an extreme slot of one of the major sectors and in both extreme grooves of the other lateral sector, while the another extreme groove of a lateral sector adopts a configuration in "U" whose lateral branches arch and extend considerably beyond its middle branch, presenting both intermediate grooves of each sector two oblique side branches, with similar lateral extensions that leave the middle zone of its lateral branches instead of prolonging its extremes, as in the case mentioned above.

Estas ranuras afectan aproximadamente a las tres cuartas partes de la altura del compartimentador, mientras que en la otra cuarta parte se sitúan tres ranuras en cada uno de los sectores extremos, considerablemente mas pequeñas, de configuración en "U", con sus ramas laterales inclinadas y acusadamente desiguales, desde cuyos extremos emergen líneas de plegado que se dirigen al borde próximo del cuerpo laminar, en alineación con las líneas de plegado de las otras ranuras.These slots affect approximately all three quarters of the height of the compartmentalizer while in the another quarter are three slots in each of the sectors ends, considerably smaller, configuration in "U", with its lateral branches inclined and sharply uneven, from whose ends emerge folding lines that direct to the proximal edge of the laminar body, in alignment with the fold lines of the other slots.

Las citadas ranuras determinan aletas que en situación de plegado del compartimentador quedan parcialmente superpuestas, concretamente las de un sector extremo a las del sector extremo opuesto, fijándose entre si en tal sector solapado mediante adhesivo, y completándose la fijación del compartimentador mediante encolado de su rama media a una de las paredes laterales menores de la caja.The aforementioned grooves determine fins that in folding situation of the compartmenter partially left superimposed, specifically those of an extreme sector to those of the opposite extreme sector, fixing each other in such overlapping sector by adhesive, and completing the fixing of the compartment by gluing its middle branch to one of the side walls under the box.

Esta fijación mutua entre las aletas de los dos sectores extremos del compartimentador, hace que éste adopte una disposición totalmente plana cuando la caja está plegada, y que se convierta en un elemento tridimensional con tabiques longitudinales y transversales perpendiculares entre si, automáticamente cuando se efectúa la extensión o desplegado de la caja.This mutual fixation between the fins of the two extreme sectors of the compartmenter, makes it adopt a completely flat layout when the box is folded, and that become a three-dimensional element with longitudinal partitions and transversal perpendicular to each other, automatically when carries out the extension or unfolding of the box.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

A la vista de las figuras reseñadas, en particular de la figura 1, puede observarse como el compartimentador para cajas de cartón que la invención propone consiste en un cuerpo laminar (1) de contorno rectangular, en el que mediante una pareja de líneas transversales de plegado (2, 2'), se definen tres sectores, uno intermedio (3) y dos laterales (4 y 5), éstos dos últimos idénticos entre sí, de manera que dicho cuerpo laminar (1) es susceptible de plegarse sobre sí mismo a través de una cualquiera de las líneas de plegado (2, 2') y adoptar una configuración en "U", cuya rama media (3) es de una anchura del orden de una tercera parte inferior a la anchura de una de las paredes laterales menores (6) de la caja, a la que está destinada a fijarse el compartimentador mediante adhesivo y en posición perfectamente centrada.In view of the figures outlined, in particular of figure 1, can be seen as the compartmentalizer for cardboard boxes that the invention proposes consists of a body laminar (1) of rectangular contour, in which by means of a couple of transverse folding lines (2, 2 '), three are defined sectors, one intermediate (3) and two lateral (4 and 5), these two last identical to each other, so that said laminar body (1) is capable of folding over itself through any one of the folding lines (2, 2 ') and adopt a configuration in "U", whose middle branch (3) is of a width of the order of one third part less than the width of one of the side walls minors (6) of the box, to which it is intended to fix the compartmentalizer by adhesive and perfectly positioned centered.

El sector (4) está afectado por cuatro troquelados (7, 8, 9 y 10), de los que el troquelado (7) adopta una configuración en "U" de ramas laterales convergentes, el (8) también en "U" de ramas laterales inclinadas en el mismo sentido, el (9) coincide con el (8), y el (10) es de ramas laterales oblicuas y sensiblemente mas cortas, prolongándose éste último hacia ambos lados en tramos arqueados (11) que se rematan en tramos laterales (12) que se extienden hasta el nivel de la extremidad libre de las ramas laterales del sector en "U" (9), relacionándose los extremos de una y otra ranura mediante una pareja de líneas de plegado (13, 13').Sector (4) is affected by four die cut (7, 8, 9 and 10), of which the die cut (7) adopts a U-shaped configuration of converging lateral branches, the (8) also in "U" of side branches inclined therein sense, the (9) coincides with the (8), and the (10) is of lateral branches oblique and noticeably shorter, extending the latter towards both sides in arched sections (11) that are finished in sections laterals (12) that extend to the level of the limb free of the lateral branches of the "U" sector (9), relating the ends of both slots by a couple of folding lines (13, 13 ').

Por su parte, las ranuras que se definen en los troquelados (8 y 9) tienen también prolongaciones laterales (12'), similares a las (12) anteriormente citadas, pero que en lugar de ser prolongación de la extremidad libre de la porción central, emergen de las ramas laterales del tramo en "U" en posición notablemente distanciada en sus extremos libres, relacionándose igualmente las ranuras adyacentes, a través de sus extremos libres, mediante líneas transversales de plegado (13''), como se observa en la figura 1 citada.On the other hand, the slots that are defined in the die cut (8 and 9) also have lateral extensions (12 '), similar to the (12) above, but instead of being prolongation of the free limb of the central portion, emerge of the lateral branches of the "U" section in position remarkably distanced at its free ends, relating also the adjacent grooves, through their free ends, by transverse folding lines (13``), as seen in Figure 1 cited.

Junto a estos troquelados (7, 8, 9 y 10), que afectan mayoritariamente al sector (4), aparecen otras ranuras (14) considerablemente mas pequeñas, de configuración en "U", ramas laterales inclinadas, la interna considerablemente mas larga que la externa, y relacionadas todas ellas con el borde próximo del cuerpo laminar (1) a través de líneas de plegado (15) alineadas con las líneas (13, 13', 13'') anteriormente citadas, mientras que las ramas mas cortas se relacionan también con el citado borde del cuerpo laminar (1) mediante líneas de corte (16), materializándose la que ocupa la posición extrema mas alejada del centro (3) del cuerpo laminar, en una ranura (16') de mayor anchura, que delimita una aleta (17) destinada a fijarse mediante adhesivo a la pared lateral mayor y correspondiente (18) de la caja.Together with these die cuts (7, 8, 9 and 10), which mostly affect the sector (4), other slots appear (14) considerably smaller, "U" configuration, branches inclined sides, the internal one considerably longer than the external, and all related to the near edge of the body laminate (1) through fold lines (15) aligned with the lines (13, 13 ', 13' ') mentioned above, while the branches shorter are also related to the aforementioned body edge laminate (1) by cutting lines (16), materializing what occupies the extreme position furthest from the center (3) of the body laminate, in a groove (16 ') of greater width, which delimits a fin (17) intended to be fixed by adhesive to the side wall major and corresponding (18) of the box.

En el otro sector extremo (3) del cuerpo laminar (1) se reproduce con toda exactitud la estructuración descrita en cuanto a ranuras, líneas de plegado y líneas de corte se refiere, con la única salvedad de que no existe la ranura (10) anteriormente citada y las prolongaciones (12) de ésta última se transforman en ranuras rectas y convergentes (19), como también se observa en la figura 1.In the other end sector (3) of the laminar body (1) the structuring described in as for grooves, folding lines and cutting lines, with the sole exception that the slot (10) does not exist previously cited and the extensions (12) of the latter become straight and convergent grooves (19), as also observed in the Figure 1.

Los citados troquelados (7, 8, 9 y 10) definen aletas (20) que cuando se abaten, por ejemplo, el sector (4) del cuerpo laminar (1) sobre el resto del mismo, quedan parcialmente superpuestas a las del otro sector (5), fijándose unas y otras en esta posición de forma mecanizada mediante la aplicación de adhesivo, de manera que a partir de esta situación y cuando se pretende desplegar la caja, se produce el simultaneo desplegado del compartimentador, que pasa a adoptar la posición mostrada en las figuras 2 y 3, es decir a determinar doce compartimentos iguales que forman tres alineaciones longitudinales y cuatro alineaciones transversales, para un total de doce objetos, que quedan así independizados en el interior de la caja, la cual es plegable y desplegable con el compartimentador fijado en su interior y sin ninguna manipulación directa sobre éste último.The said die cut (7, 8, 9 and 10) define fins (20) that when they are lowered, for example, sector (4) of the laminar body (1) on the rest of it, partially remain superimposed on those of the other sector (5), looking at each other in this position mechanically by applying adhesive, so that from this situation and when intends to deploy the box, the simultaneous deployment of the compartmenter, which happens to adopt the position shown in the Figures 2 and 3, that is to say twelve equal compartments that they form three longitudinal alignments and four alignments transversal, for a total of twelve objects, which remain so independent inside the box, which is foldable and Folding with the compartment set inside and without no direct manipulation on the latter.

Así pues, las variantes de realización de las figuras 1 y 4, difieren en función del grado de protección previsto para los objetos a transportar, haciendo que éste sea mayor superior o inferiormente en uno y otro caso.Thus, the embodiments of the Figures 1 and 4, differ depending on the degree of protection provided for the objects to be transported, making it larger or inferiorly in both cases.
