EXHIBITOR BOX THAT MAINTAINS THE POSITION OF UNSTABLE PRODUCTS 5

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention, as expressed in the statement of the present specification, refers to an display box that maintains the position of

10 unstable products, contributing to the function to which it is intended, advantages and novelty features that will be described in detail later.

The object of the present invention lies in a cardboard box or similar sheet material of the type that is used as multiple packaging and, at the same

15 time, to contain and keep on display the products that it contains at the point of sale, whose structural configuration is distinguished by presenting a series of internal constructive particularities that effectively achieve that the product or products contained are kept exposed in a determined position, usually in

20 vertically or slightly inclined, when the primary container thereof has an unstable configuration to hold in said position by itself.

FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

The field of application of the present invention is part of the sector of the industry dedicated to the manufacture of packaging, focusing particularly on the field of boxes formed from folded and stamped sheet material, usually cardboard, and

30 more specifically those for transport and exposure of the contained product.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

5 There is a range of products that, due to the characteristics of their primary packaging, are stable in the horizontal transport position, but are not maintained in the vertical position that allows for better viewing and exposure for sale. For example, sliced products or pizzas.

10 In general, when this type of product is packaged in cardboard display boxes and is placed vertically for display and sale, it tends to slide and fall, being wrinkled or folded and therefore unattractive to the consumer.

The objective of the present invention, therefore, is the development of a new type of display box that allows to solve said inconvenience and in a practical and efficient way through structural characteristics that manage to keep the aforementioned products in an upright position.

20 On the other hand, and as a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, at least on the part of the applicant, the existence of no other product display box that has the same or similar technical characteristics as those presented by the applicant is unknown. that

25 here is claimed.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The display box that maintains the position of unstable products that the invention proposes is thus configured as a novelty within its field of application, with the distinguishing details conveniently set forth in the final claims that accompany the present description.

5 Specifically, the display box that the invention proposes, as noted above, is a box formed from a pre-stamped and folded cardboard sheet or similar material, of the type used as transport packaging for one or more more products incorporated in a primary package, and, at the same time, after

10 tearing a part or disassembling a lid, serves to contain and keep these products on display at the point of sale, presenting the particularity of presenting internally some innovative constructive and structural modifications aimed at achieving that, in said use as an exhibition box, the products stay in

15 a specific position that improves your viewing even if your packaging is unstable to hold itself in that position.

For this, the box comprises, in at least one internal wall, at least one groove where a edge of the product container fits and retains it

20 in the desired position when the box is located in the exhibitor position, since said position may vary from that taken by the box when it is used as transport or storage packaging.

Preferably, said wall has so many grooves arranged in

25 parallel as a number of products incorporates the box, to allow each product to fit in at least one of them to hold.

On the other hand, said internal wall incorporating one or more grooves, is preferably located on one of the sides of the box when it is arranged in its display position, presenting, in the embodiment

image4

preferred, opposite side walls with grooves that are located parallel in the position provided to hold the product, usually vertically or slightly inclined, to fit on each side each product that usually has a flat configuration container.

5 Optionally, however, alternatively or in a complementary manner, it can be an internal wall that determines the lower base of the box in its display position which presents the slots in which the products fit to stay in the position

10 desired exposure.

Continuing with the particularities of the box, it should be mentioned that, in any of the options described, the wall or walls that incorporate the grooves of lace for the products is determined by a piece

15 constituting an additional laminar body that is incorporated into the interior of the box, being, in the case of being two or more grooved walls, a single additional piece which determines said walls.

In addition, and to facilitate the manufacture of the box, said laminar body

20 is a piece specially designed to adapt to the morphological and structural characteristics of the pieces that form the laminar bodies with which existing display boxes are formed on the market for the type of products with unstable containers to which the object of the invention is intended. .

25 Thus, in a first preferred embodiment option, for display boxes formed from a single external laminar body that, once mounted, are trimmed by a perforated line for this purpose for use as an exhibitor, the additional laminar body has two panels

30 sides where the grooves are located and a central panel with a configuration and dimensions suitable to fit, on the laminar body with which said box is formed, in coincidence with the areas thereof that will determine the side and rear walls of the box, in its position as an exhibitor, also allowing its assembly in

image5

5 machine with said additional part incorporated internally.

In another embodiment, the box is externally shaped from two independent laminar bodies that, when properly bent, respectively determine a tray when placed in an exhibitor position and a lid, both laminar bodies being joined together by points of union that are susceptible of being detached from the box to allow the separation of the laminar bodies and the access to the interior of the box. And, the additional laminar body with the grooves is integrated in the part that forms the lid and, at

15 to separate both bodies, this is cut by a perforated line being internally housed in the external part that determines the tray, so that, in this case, the box is also advantageously capable of being mounted with existing machines.

20 The described display box that maintains the position of unstable products consists, then, in an innovative structure with characteristics unknown until now for the purpose to which it is intended, reasons that together with its practical utility, provide it with sufficient grounds to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the aforementioned figures, and according to the numbering adopted in them, you can see two examples of the box

20 display of the invention, which comprises the parts and elements indicated and described in detail below.

Thus, as can be seen in said figures, the box (1) of the invention, being formed from at least one laminar body (2) 25 pre-punched with fold lines (2a) that create different areas for its assembly, comprises at least one internal wall (21) thereof and at least one retention slot (3) where some part of some edge of a product (p) of which it contains retaining it in a certain position, preferably fits vertical, when the box (1) is placed

30 in exhibitor position, as shown in figure 1.

image8

Preferably, the box (1) has, at least in an internal wall (21), several grooves (3) arranged in parallel, preferably, as many as the number of products incorporated, to retain them, each in the

5 expected position.

In any case, said internal wall (21) incorporates one or more grooves

(3) on one of the side sides of the box (1) or on both opposite sides, thus presenting two opposite inner walls (21)

10 provided with grooves (3) where the products fit on both sides and / or on the bottom base where the products fit on a portion of their bottom. In the example shown in Figure 1, the box (1) comprises grooves (3) both in the side walls and in the lower base.

In any case, and also as an option, the internal wall or walls (21) with grooves (3) where the edges of the products fit together form part of an additional piece or laminar body (20) that is incorporated into the interior of the box (1) and that either is independent of the

20 sheet body (2) from which it is mounted, or is integrated into a second sheet body (2 ’) that determines one of the parts of the box when it has more than one.

In any case, preferably, said additional laminar body (20),

25 with the internal wall or walls (21) with the grooves (3) where the products fit while retaining them in a vertical position, presents a configuration and dimensions according to the configuration and dimensions of the body or laminar bodies (2, 2 ') with which they form the existing display boxes, allowing their assembly also with

30 existing machines.

image9

Said additional laminar body (20) joins the laminar body (2, 2 ’) that externally forms the box comprising, once folded, two end panels that determine respective internal side walls

5 (21) and a central panel that determines the rear wall of the box when it is in the display position.

According to figures 2 to 4, a preferred embodiment example of the display box (1) of the invention is observed, in an option thereof formed from a single laminar body (2) with a perforated line (2b ) to trim it once mounted, in its display position, as a tray (1a), defining a recess (2c) that allows to show widely the products it contains. Thus, said perforated line (2b) allows to tear the box formed by the laminar body (2)

15 to access inside.

In addition, to facilitate said cutting, this perforated line (2b) has holes (2d) strategically located along it.

In said example, the additional laminar body (20), has two side panels that determine respective internal walls (21) where the grooves (3) and a central panel whose shapes and dimensions fit, are practiced, on the laminar body (2) with which said box is formed, in coincidence with the areas of the same that will constitute, respectively,

25 the side and rear walls of the box, in its display position, allowing, as shown in Figure 3, the superposition of both pieces to carry out the assembly of the box in a usual machine so that the laminar body additional (20) is incorporated and adjusted internally.

30

image10

On the other hand, in figures 5 to 9 another alternative embodiment of the display box (1) according to the invention is observed.

In this case, the box (1) comprises two parts, an external one in the form of

5 tray (1a) when placed in an exhibitor position, formed from a first sheet body (2) shown in Figure 5, and an internal one in the form of a lid (1b) that is cut by a perforated line (2b) and partially removable for placement as an exhibitor, which, in turn, is formed from a second laminar body (2 ') where

10 the additional laminar body (20) with the grooves (3) forms an integral part thereof, as seen in Figure 6, being partially defined by said perforated line (2b).

As seen in Figure 7, in this case, as in the previous one,

The part of said second laminar body (2 ') that constitutes the additional laminar piece (20), has two side panels that constitute respective internal walls (21) where the grooves (3) and a central panel whose shapes and dimensions are located fit, on the first laminar body (2) with which the tray (1a) is formed, in coincidence with the

20 areas of the same that will determine, respectively, the side and rear walls of the box, in its display position, allowing the superposition of both pieces to carry out the assembly of the box in suitable machine such that the sheet additional (20) is incorporated internally.

25 Thus, in this case, the box is externally formed from two independent folded laminar bodies (2, 2 '), the first laminar body (2) in the form of a tray (1a) when placed in the display position and the second laminar body (2 ') in the form of a lid

30 (1b), both laminar bodies (2.2 ’) being joined together by means of junction points (2e) that are likely to be detached from the box to allow separation of the laminar bodies (2, 2’).

image11

In addition, the second laminar body (2 ’) also has a line

5 perforated (2b) in which holes (2d) are preferably provided to insert the fingers and facilitate trimming and access to the inside of the box.

Also preferably, the first sheet body (2) has a

10 recessed (2c) to show more broadly the exposed product once the box is cut.

Finally, it should be mentioned that, although not mentioned above, it is evident that the laminar body (2, 2 ’) with

15 that forms the box (1) of the invention and the fold lines (2a) that it presents are variable in shape and size, according to the needs of each case, to create different shapes and sizes of box, depending on the type of product to which it is intended, as well as the perforation lines (2b) its holes (2d) and the recesses (2c) that it may present.

20 Describing sufficiently the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to extend its explanation so that any person skilled in the art understands its scope and the advantages that derive from it, becoming

25 to state that, within its essentiality, it may be carried out in other embodiments that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example, and to which it will also achieve the protection that is sought as long as it is not altered, changed or Modify your fundamental principle.
