Description

DESCRIPTION

Cardboard container with octagonal lid

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention refers to a cardboard container with a lid, with an octagonal plan with a slightly divergent configuration in the upward direction, that is, with an inverted truncated-pyramidal configuration, obtained from two laminar pieces of cardboard, one determining the main body of the container, and another of the container closing lid, which form an octagonal cube with inclined edges that presents a larger opening in the mouth with respect to the base.

The object of the invention is to provide a container with stable closing means, with a structure that allows it to be assembled by automatic machinery, and that allow easy dispensing of the containers in the working lines at the time of packaging.

The invention is preferably focused on the field of packaging of fruit and vegetable products that require a certain level of aeration during their marketing and transport.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Although cardboard containers with a lid are known for the packaging of products that require a certain level of aeration during their commercialization and transport, this type of packaging presents a problem with two aspects:

• Its assembly is not always 100% automated.

• In the assembly and stacking of containers, it is relatively common that some are interlocked with others, which makes it difficult to dispense them in the working lines at the time of packaging.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The cardboard container with an octagonal lid that is advocated fully satisfactorily solves the aforementioned problems, based on a simple but effective solution.

For this, the container of the invention is made up of two pieces of cardboard, determining the main body and the lid of the container.

More specifically, the main body of the container is constituted from the development of a die-cut cardboard sheet, in which an octagonal central sector is defined, from which two gluing flaps emerge from two of its opposite faces, while from the faces orthogonal to these emerge two flaps materialized in bodies with slits that, once assembled, form an octagonal cube with inclined edges that presents a larger opening in the mouth with respect to the base.

Four of these faces end in respective anchors to ensure the opening and closing of the lid and to enable the handling of the container with the hooking of a lid also made of cardboard.

At the base of the cube, four perimeter holes have been arranged that have two main functions: they help the ventilation and cooling of the product and prevents the assembly of the tubs from jamming into each other, facilitating easy dispensing of the tubs in the lines. of work at the time of packaging.

It is important to note that this structure is specially designed to facilitate assembly and gluing in automatic machinery.

As for the cover, it is also obtained from the development of a die-cut cardboard sheet, and in which, as was the case with the main body, an octagonal central sector is defined, from which two of its faces emerge Two gluing flaps opposite each other, while from the faces orthogonal to these two flaps emerge, materialized in bodies with slits that, once assembled, form an octagonal cover.

In the upper face or base, it includes four rectangular holes coinciding with the anchoring of the faces of the main body of the container.

Finally say that in said base two claws have been arranged to facilitate the end user the grip and transport.

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 a practical embodiment thereof, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, the following has been represented:

Figure 4.- Shows, finally, a perspective view of the device of figure 2 duly assembled.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the outlined figures, and especially of figure 1, it can be seen how the main body (1) of the container of the invention is constituted from the development of a die-cut cardboard sheet, in which a sector is defined central octagonal (2), from two of whose opposite side edges each gluing flaps emerge (3), while from the edges orthogonal to these two inverted trapezoidal sectors emerge (4), determining two of the side walls of the container body : These trapezoidal sectors (4) extend laterally into intermediate sectors (5), which are going to determine respective side walls of the main body of the container, and which end laterally in end sectors (6) that in pairs determine the rest of the side walls of the container, all of them inverted trapezoidal. The four extreme sectors (6) are positioned in the assembled in pairs adjacently and stabilized by adhesive to the gluing flaps (3).

The four intermediate sectors (5) incorporate, in correspondence with their lower edge, an arcuate notch (7), which determines four perimeter aeration windows for the product contained therein when mounting the container.

Additionally, said intermediate sectors (5) are topped with anchors (8) intended to be inserted into slots (9) provided in the cover (10) in the corresponding positions to facilitate assembly. The anchors (8) are configured as an extension of the intermediate sectors (5) that extend laterally, forming respective flanges of rounded configuration on both sides.

The structure of the lid (10) is similar to that of the main body of the container, since in it an octagonal central sector (2 ') is also defined, from two of whose opposite side edges emerge two gluing flaps (3' ), while the edges orthogonal to these emerge two inverted trapezoidal sectors (4 '), determining two of the side walls of the lid, logically lower than the sectors (4) of the main container. These trapezoidal sectors (4 ") extend laterally in intermediate sectors (5 '), which are going to determine respective side walls of said cover, and which end laterally in end sectors (6') that together with the gluing flaps (3 ') determine the other two side walls of the box The four end sectors (6') are stabilized by adhesive to the glue flaps (3 ').

The four edges of the lid (10) from which the side flaps (3 ') or (4') do not emerge have recesses that determine grooves (9). In this way, and as previously said, said grooves (9) that are determined in correspondence with four of the lateral edges of the lid positionally coincide with the anchors (8) in the closure of the lid on the container, leaving the anchors (8) stably interlocked in said grooves (9) by simple pressure on the cover.

a pair of claws (11) to facilitate manual grip of the lid and transport of the container.
