Product shipping box

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention refers to a box for shipping products, and more specifically to a cardboard box that in its assembly forms a prismatic-rectangular body intended to house different types of products, especially designed for electronic commerce services, in which the return of certain purchased items is relatively frequent.

The object of the invention is to provide an inviolable box, that is to say in which any manipulation carried out on it is evidenced, and which at the same time allows its reuse once opened, in order to be able to be used again to return the product purchased if deemed convenient.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There are numerous types of boxes with different structures for shipping all types of articles, normally made of cardboard, based on the development of a cardboard sheet with cut and fold lines to form the body of the box, with closing covers. They are usually sealed with tape or any other means of fixation.

These types of boxes can be opened maliciously by removing the adhesive tape and replacing it with a new one.

At the same time, not all users or customers have adhesive tapes in their homes, which makes it difficult to return products once received if they do not correspond to customer expectations.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The box that is advocated solves in a fully satisfactory way the problems previously exposed in the two aspects mentioned, based on a simple but effective solution.

For this, the box of the invention is constituted from the conventional structuring of this type of boxes, in which a rectangular prismatic body with a closed and foldable bottom participates in an inoperative situation, so that the box adopts a flattened arrangement in order to offer a minimum volumetric occupation, with the special particularity that its mouth has a double cover, so that one of the covers is initially inoperative, both covers including inviolable fixing means, that is, the cover must be broken to open the box, allowing evidence of this fact, being able to reuse the box to return the purchased product without more than using the second lid until that moment inoperative.

More specifically, the mouth of the box will have two lateral flanges, emerging from the smaller lateral faces, also conventional, with the particularity of presenting respective covers as an extension of the larger lateral walls, folding over them.

Said lids will have a flap on their free edge that in each case lead to two folding lateral flaps, in such a way that the lid that is arranged internally will simply fold in said direction without interfering with said flap and flaps in any element, while the The lid that is arranged externally and that is intended to close the box will be linked to the articulation area of the opposite lid, through a central slot through which the flap is passed with its folded flaps, which once inserted into the the slot will tend to unfold, acting as locking elements that prevent the lid from opening once closed, so that to open it the lid must be broken, which will reveal any improper manipulation, being able to count on a Double climbing line to facilitate said operation, double climbing line that could optionally be arranged on both covers.

In this way, once the item has been received and the lid is opened, if the product contained in the box does not meet the customer's expectations and you want to return it, you will only have to reverse the position of the lids, passing the initially external and broken lid, to take a position internal and inoperative, while the cover that had not been used up to that moment, opposite to the previous one, can be locked through its set of flap and flaps in the groove of the folding area of the opposite cover.

In this way, a box that is simple to use and reuse is achieved, without the need for accessories such as adhesive tapes, staples or the like, which is also extremely safe in the shipping process, as it can clearly show any type of malicious manipulation.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is going to be made below and with the aim of helping a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization thereof, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows a plan development of a box for shipping products made in accordance with the object of the present invention.

Figure 2.- Shows a perspective view of the box of the invention in an assembled and folded arrangement for a minimum volumetric occupation.

Figure 3.- Shows a perspective view of the box, with both covers open.

Figure 4.- Shows a view similar to that of figure 3, but in which one of the lids, in this case inoperative, is folded over the mouth of the box to be able to be used later.

Figure 5.- Shows a view similar to that of figure 4, but in which the lateral wings of the mouth of the box appear folded over the inoperative lid.

Figure 6.- Shows, finally, a perspective view of the each properly closed in an inviolable disposition.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the outlined figures, it can be seen how the box of the invention is obtained from the development of a rectangular cardboard sheet, with fold and cut lines that delimit two larger side walls (1-2), as well as two minor side walls (3 and 4), and which are linked together through a side flange (18) that is fixed by gluing to the free edge of the minor side wall (3), minor side walls from which extensions emerge below (5-6-7 and 8) with folding lines and coupling means that determine the bottom of the box, with a structure that allows the folding of the box once assembled when it is inoperative, as shown in the Figure 2, all of which has been conventional in this type of box.

The smaller side walls (3-4) of the box are extended superiorly in rectangular closing tabs (16), also conventional, with the special particularity that respective rectangular sectors that determine the shape of the box emerge superiorly from the larger side walls (1-2). respective covers (10-11), with dimensions according to the mouth of the box, folding on said walls, covers that on their free edge and opposite to the hinge include respective flaps (13-14) that extend laterally in complementary folding flaps / deployable (15), counting the hinge area of each cover (10-11) with a slot (12) with a width according to the width of said flaps (13-14).

Thus, and as shown in figure 4, one of the lids, for example the lid (11), can be folded over the mouth of the box without being linked to it through its corresponding flap (14), the rectangular tabs subsequently folding. (16) of the smaller side walls on it, to finally fold the second cover (10) onto the described assembly, but inserting the flap (13) with its wings (15) duly folded over it in the slot (12), wings (15) that once said slot is surpassed, they will tend to unfold, automatically blocking the cover and preventing its manipulation.

To facilitate the opening of the box, at least one of the covers, the one that will be used in the first instance, will have a double climbing line (17) that allows it to tear and facilitates the opening of the box, although both lids could include such a double climbing line.

Thus, once the item has been received and the lid (10) is opened, if the product contained in the box does not meet the customer's expectations and you want to return it, you will only have to reverse the position of the lids, so that the lid ( 10) occupy the internal position this time, and on this as well as on the rectangular flanges (16) the second cover (11) is arranged, which will be locked in the opposite slot (12) of the larger side wall (1), all of this without the need for adhesive tapes or any other means of fixing.
