DESCRIPTION

BOX WITH SAFETY LOCK FOR ELECTRONIC COMMERCE

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

It is the object of the present invention, as the title of the invention establishes a box with a security lock for electronic commerce that allows the safe shipment of products sent inside that are not accessible without causing damage to the box.

The present invention is characterized by the special design and configuration of the die-cut and cut cardboard sheet from which the box object of the invention is configured, in such a way that an easy-to-assemble box is achieved and that offers safety against damage. opening when some tabs are anchored in some windows made in the cardboard sheet so that the box cannot be opened without being damaged.

Therefore, the present invention is circumscribed within the scope of closed boxes formed from a sheet of die-cut and cut cardboard.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the state of the art, closed-shaped boxes are known, provided with a hinged lid that has side flaps that allow the box to be closed, forming a closed interior space, as stated in the FEFCO 0427 standard.

A box according to FEFCO 0427 is a box with interlocking fins and wings, easy to assemble and that does not require adhesive tape to assemble and close. Its double side walls make it durable and more resistant to transport than other types of cardboard packaging. In this way it can be used many times.

However, said box for electronic commerce is not ideal since it can be opened and manipulated and the product contained inside can be extracted without leaving any mark of manipulation on the box.

Therefore, it is the object of the present invention to develop a closed box where the opening of the box necessarily has to cause damage to the box so as to ensure its inviolability, developing a box like the one described below and it is collected in its essentiality in the first claim.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is a security closure box for electronic commerce that is formed from a die-cut and cut cardboard sheet in which a base, a front extension, two lateral double extensions and a rear extension are defined, where the front and rear extensions have foldable and accommodating side extensions between the double side extensions, on the other hand the lid has a side extensions as well as a front extension and in turn the latter has a side flaps, where the box has with two tamper-proof closures.

The first inviolable security closure is achieved by providing windows on the lateral extensions of the front closure and by means of folding security tabs defined at the ends of the side flaps of the front extension of the lid. Said security tabs, when folded and inserted into the side walls where the windows defined in said side extensions are housed, make it impossible to open the box without damaging it.

Thanks to the safety lock provided in the box, it is guaranteed that the product housed inside is not tampered with.

The second inviolable security lock is for reverse logistics, that is, when the product is to be returned. The tabs (15) of the extension (14) in the first moment of closing the box for shipping, are bent at 180 °, remaining hidden in the front extension (14) of the cover (11) and when the user receives the product and opens it at the moment of breaking to open the box through the pre-cut slit between the flap (16) and front extension (14), the tabs (15) appear that will serve so that the user can, in case of wanting to return the merchandise, close the package again, inserting the tabs (15) into the holes (18) and making a package inviolable again for reverse logistics.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the figures, a preferred embodiment of the proposed invention is described below.

In figure 1 we can see that on the die-cut and cut cardboard sheet there is defined a base (1) from which a frontal closure (2) emerges that is provided with lateral extensions (3) on which windows are made. (4) for safety closure.

From the base (1) some double extensions (7) and (8) emerge laterally that make up a double side wall of the box. The first lateral extension (7) is on the outside of the box, while the second lateral extension (8) is on the inside of the box and shows on its free edge some closing tabs (9) that are housed in grooves (10) defined in the fold line between the base (1) and the first lateral extension (7).

Also, from the base and in its rear part emerges a section that acts as a rear closure (5) that is provided with lateral extensions (6).

The box closure lid (11) is attached on the extension that acts as the rear closure (5). The cover (11) has some lateral extensions (13), while in its front part it has a front extension (14) that in turn has some side flaps (16) at each end, where each side flap (16) it has a folding safety tab (17) at its end.

The front extension (14) on its free edge has some tabs (15) that are to ensure a second inviolable closure of the box in case of return of the product. At first, when the product is to be shipped, the tabs (15) of the front extension (14) are bent 180 °, remaining hidden and unused for the moment. Once the packaging is opened by breaking the pre-cut slit between the flap (16) and the front extension (14), when the box is opened, the tabs (15) appear.

Only in the event that the customer wishes to return the received product, the tabs (15) are deployed, which are inserted into the slots (18), making the container inviolable again, since the tabs (15) are harpooned and lodged in the grooves (18) To open the container, the box would have to be broken or damaged, leaving visible marks of said action, either by breaking the tabs (15) or the grooves (18).

for closing the box, staying in the slots (18) that are in the folding line between the base (1) and the front closure (2).

Figure 2 shows how the lateral extensions (3) of the front closure (2) are folded and arranged on the side walls of the box, remaining housed between the first lateral extension (7) and the second lateral extension (8).

In figure 3 it is observed how the base of the box is shaped in the absence of closing the lid (11), in figure 4 the lid (11) remains on the base of the box with the side flaps (16) in a vertical position , while in figure 5 the folding security tabs (17) have been folded onto the side flaps (16) so that when the flaps (16) are inserted with the folding security tab (17) folded over itself in the space between the first lateral extension (7) and the lateral extensions (3) the folding safety tab (17) is housed in the window (4) so that, as shown in figure 7 , the free edge (19) of the folding safety tab (17) contacts the edge (20) of the window (4) so that once the box is closed it cannot be reopened without damaging the box since the edge Free of the folding safety tab (17) it contacts the edge of the window (20) preventing its opening.

Thanks to the characteristics described, a safe for electronic commerce is achieved that once closed cannot be opened without damaging the box, which results in a security of inviolability of the interior content.

Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the manner of putting it into practice, it is stated 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 the protection sought will also be achieved, provided that it does not alter, change or modify its fundamental principle.
