embalajes, particularmente cajas. packaging, particularly boxes.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Normalmente, las cajas de cartón de embalaje del tipo que aquí concierne, para hacer envíos y asegurar su cierre, se precintan con cinta adhesiva y/o con grapas metálicas, evitando así que se pueda abrir Normally, packing cartons of the type that concerns here, to make shipments and ensure its closure, are sealed with adhesive tape and / or with metal clips, thus preventing it from opening

10 la caja y su contenido quede accesible antes de que la reciba su destinatario. 10 the box and its contents are accessible before the recipient receives it.

Este sistema, si bien consigue plenamente su objetivo de asegurar el cierre de la caja, presenta el 15 problema de que, al abrirlo, se suelen romper las solapas, con lo cual la caja queda, cuando menos, parciamente deteriorada. Además, si se desea volver a cerrar la caja o bien hay que recurrir a volver a fijar las solapas con cinta adhesiva o grapas, o bien hay que This system, although it fully achieves its objective of ensuring the closure of the box, presents the problem that, when opened, the flaps are usually broken, whereby the box is at least partially damaged. In addition, if you want to close the box again, you must resort to re-fixing the flaps with adhesive tape or staples, or you have to

20 recurrir a entrelazar las solapas, lo cual, en ambos casos contribuye, tras varias aperturas y cierres, a deterior tanto las solapas que suelen quedar inservibles, haciendo que la vida útil de la caja sea relativamente corta. 20 resorting to interlacing the flaps, which, in both cases contributes, after several openings and closures, to deterioration both the flaps that are usually unusable, making the life of the box relatively short.

25 Sería deseable, pues, contar con cajas que tengan un sistema de cierre que pueda ser seguro a la hora de realizar los envíos y que, al mismo tiempo permita prolongar la vida útil de las cajas, lo cual, 25 It would be desirable, then, to have boxes that have a closure system that can be safe when making shipments and that, at the same time, allows prolonging the useful life of the boxes, which,

30 entre otras ventajas, como cualquier reducción de residuos favorece la protección de medio ambiente. 30 among other advantages, as any waste reduction favors the protection of the environment.

Cabe mencionar, por otra parte que, al menos por parte del solicitante, se desconoce la existencia 35 de ningún otro tipo de cierre de seguridad para cajas o invención de aplicación similar que presente unas It should be mentioned, on the other hand that, at least on the part of the applicant, the existence of any other type of safety lock for boxes or similar application invention that presents some is unknown.

características técnicas, estructurales y de configuración semejantes, a las que presenta el que aquí se preconiza y según se reivindica. technical, structural and similar configuration, to those presented by the here it is recommended and as claimed.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

Así, el cierre de seguridad para cajas que la presente invención propone se configura como una 10 destacable novedad dentro de su campo de aplicación, ya que a tenor de su implementación y de forma taxativa se alcanzan satisfactoriamente los objetivos anteriormente señalados como idóneos, estando los detalles caracterizadores que lo hacen posible, convenientemente Thus, the safety lock for boxes that the present invention proposes is configured as a remarkable novelty within its field of application, since in accordance with its implementation and in a restrictive way the objectives previously indicated as suitable are satisfactorily achieved, being the characterizing details that make it possible, conveniently

15 recogidos en las reivindicaciones finales que acompañan a la presente memoria descriptiva del mismo. 15 set out in the final claims that accompany the present specification thereof.

De forma concreta, tal como se ha apuntado anteriormente, lo que la invención propone es un cierre 20 de seguridad diseñado específicamente para ir incorporado en las cajas de embalaje, normalmente de cartón, del tipo que se cierran en su base superior, o en su base superior e inferior, mediante la superposición de solapas que dimanan de, al menos, dos Specifically, as noted above, what the invention proposes is a security closure 20 designed specifically to be incorporated in the packing boxes, usually of cardboard, of the type that are closed at their upper base, or in their upper and lower base, by overlapping flaps that emanate from at least two

25 de sus lados opuestos, aunque normalmente dimanan de sus cuatro lados. 25 of their opposite sides, although they normally emanate from their four sides.

El cierre combina una cremallera que une los bordes de dos de dichas solapas opuestas entre sí, The closure combines a zipper that joins the edges of two of said flaps opposite each other,

30 presentando la particularidad de que, en el tirador de dicha cremallera se ha previsto la incorporación de un elemento de sujeción de seguridad, que no es reabrible, es decir, que no puede volver a abrirse sin romperse. 30 presenting the particularity that, in the handle of said zipper, the incorporation of a security fastening element is provided, which is not reopendable, that is, it cannot be reopened without breaking.

35 En una realización preferida de la invención, dicho elemento de sujeción de seguridad es una brida, In a preferred embodiment of the invention, said safety fastener is a flange,

preferentemente de nylon u otro material plástico suficientemente resistente, que se une solidariamente a dicho tirador, cuya cinta de dicha brida es susceptible de poder ser encajada en el trinquete tras hacerla preferably of nylon or other plastic material strong enough, that joins solidarity with said puller, whose tape of said flange is susceptible of being able to fit into the ratchet after making it

5 pasar por el orificio de una pieza anular prevista al efecto y que está fijada solidariamente en el lateral correspondiente al lado en que queda dicho tirador cuando la cremallera está cerrada. 5 to pass through the hole of an annular piece provided for this purpose and which is fixed in solidarity on the side corresponding to the side on which said puller remains when the zipper is closed.

10 De este modo, la cremallera cierra la caja de lado a lado, con opción a poder volver abrirse y cerrarse siempre que la brida no está asegurada en el trinquete y pasada por dicha pieza anular, momento a partir del cual el cierre queda asegurado y, para poder 10 In this way, the zipper closes the box from side to side, with the option of being able to open and close again whenever the flange is not secured in the ratchet and passed through said annular piece, at which point the closure is secured and , to

15 abrir de nuevo la caja, será necesario romper la cinta de la brida, permitiendo de nuevo la apertura y cierre de la caja mediante el accionamiento de la cremallera, pero sin que se pueda volver a asegurar de nuevo, lo cual sirve para delatar su manipulación no autorizada. 15 to open the box again, it will be necessary to break the flange tape, allowing the opening and closing of the box again by actuating the zipper, but without being able to secure it again, which serves to give away its unauthorized manipulation.

20 Lógicamente, la caja podrá incorporar el cierre descrito en una o en ambas bases de la misma, si ambas están dotadas de solapas y se desean asegurar, sin embargo, opcionalmente, una base podrá ir 20 Logically, the box may incorporate the closure described in one or both bases thereof, if both are provided with flaps and wish to ensure, however, optionally, a base may go

25 precintada de forma convencional para que quede siempre cerrada y la otra podrá incorporar el cierre de la invención, permitiendo mantener cerradas las solapas de dicha base de la caja y evitando que puedan ser abiertas sin romperlas o sin que queden signos 25 conventionally sealed so that it is always closed and the other may incorporate the closure of the invention, allowing the flaps of said base of the box to be closed and preventing them from being opened without breaking them or without any remaining signs.

30 evidentes de que se ha producido dicha apertura, y con la ventaja de que, una vez desprecintado el cierre, la caja se podrá volver a abrir y cerrar fácilmente cuantas veces se quiera sin que las solapas sufran deterioro alguno por ello. 30 evident that said opening has occurred, and with the advantage that, once the closure has been unsealed, the box can be easily re-opened and closed as many times as desired without the flaps being damaged by it.
