DESCRIPTION

BOX FOR CARRYING AND DELIVERY OF MEALS AND TEMPLATE FOR

CONFORMATION OF SAID BOX

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a box for carrying and distributing meals, usable for supplying meals to communities, or on airplanes and similar means, and to a template for the formation of said box.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The distribution and transportation of food in certain communities and means of transport, for example on airplanes, is carried out by means of carts -called trolleys or containers- in which the food is packed in individual packages to optimize the scarcity of space.

Indeed, for example, the meals served on planes are prepared in central kitchens, packed in individual boxes for each person, and then brought to the plane and for consumption distributed throughout the aisle or aisles of the plane thanks to the cars.

Currently these boxes are made of cardboard, obtained by folding a laminar template, due to its low cost and easy recycling; but with the problem of its low robustness if you want to have this packaging at a reasonable cost. Many times these boxes are stacked in large numbers in the carts and also in their carriage for boarding the plane, being able to collapse and spoil, which sometimes forces some of them to be discarded, even with the food contained.

To solve these drawbacks, document U202130372 is known, where a box for carrying and distributing meals configured by folding a laminar template is described, a box that comprises a general prismatic shape, with a width slightly less than the free distance between the stands of a trolley (trolley or container) standardized carriage, and suitable bottom to fit in said cart, and comprises lateral projections of greater amplitude than said free distance, but less than the bottom of said steps, so that the projections can be inserted along these steps or guides, leaving each individually suspended box, preventing them from leaning against each other and collapsing and affecting the food arranged inside, and the appearance for the consumer, and also improving the ventilation flow provided by the cooling means of said carts.

However, the suspended placement of the boxes on the stands can sometimes cause them to fall, due to the collapse of the lid or accidental opening, which is solved with the box of the invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The box for carrying and distributing meals of the invention is of the type configured by folding a laminar template, and which comprises a prismatic general shape with adequate measurements to be able to be inserted into a standard carrying cart, with fastening steps; which, according to the invention:

-comprises a frustopyramidal prismatic shape, where the base comprises an amplitude greater than the free distance between the stands and less than the bottom of said stands, to be supported by them, and

-where the inclination of the lateral faces of the box is greater than the upper projection of the stands (if said upper projection exists).

This allows the box to be inserted into the stands resting on its base, thus preventing falls due to suspended placement, with the additional advantage that the capacity of the box is increased and, in general, insertion into the stands is made easier.

DESCRIPTION OF A PRACTICAL EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The box (1) for carrying and distributing meals of the invention is of the type configured by folding a laminar template (100) (shown in Fig. 3), and comprising (see Figs. 1 and 2) a general shape prismatic of suitable measures to be able to be inserted in a normalized carriage (51) with fastening stands (50), where according to the invention: -comprises a frustopyramidal prismatic shape, where the base comprises amplitude greater than the free distance (5) between the stands and less than the bottom of said stands (50) to rest on them, and

- the inclination of the lateral faces of the box is greater than the upper projection (50a) of the stands (50) (see in detail in fig. 2).

In addition, to ensure the closure of the lid (10), it is preferred that it comprises a locking tab (11) for the closed position, and the body of the box (1) a slot (13) for the insertion of said tab (11). The locking tab (11) is ideally arranged on a front flap (14) of the lid (10), which has a height equal to that of the box; and the slot (13) is arranged in the lower front edge (15) of the box.

Additionally, the box will preferably have some holes (17) on at least its front and rear faces, and on the front flap (14), to configure a handle to introduce the finger, for extracting the box from the carriage (51). ).

For its part, in the preferred embodiment the template (100) comprises (see Fig. 3):

-a first trapezoidal sector (101) coinciding with the front face of the box,

- a second quadrangular sector (102) that has the same width as the largest base of the first sector (101) and is attached to it by means of a first folding line (111) and coinciding with the bottom of the box,

-a third trapezoidal sector (103) with the same dimensions as the first sector (101), which is joined in continuity to the second sector (102) through its larger base by a second folding line (112) and coinciding with the case back,

-a fourth sector (104) of shorter length than the second sector (102) and width equal to that of the smaller base of the third sector (103), and which is joined to the third sector (103) through a third line of folded (113) and coinciding with the lid (10) of the box, and -a fifth sector (105) trapezoidal in shape with the same length as the first sector (101), smaller base equal to the width of the fourth sector (104) and base greater than the width of the second sector (102), coinciding with the front flap (14) of the lid (10) of the box, and which is joined to the fourth sector (104) through a fourth line of folded (114); - the fifth sector (105) comprising an end extension (105a) that is forming a flange (11), delimited by a fifth fold line (115), and comprising a corresponding notch (111a) in the first fold line ( 111) coincident, configuring a slot (13); Y

- the second sector (102) comprising lateral tabs (106) defined by sixth fold lines (116), provided with respective lateral extensions (107) - for interior gluing in the first sector (101) and in the third sector (103 ) in the assembly of the box- and of an end flap (108); Y

- arranging centered holes (120) of equal radius in the first sector (101), third sector (103) and fifth sector (105) determining holes (17).

This configuration allows to give the box the frustopyramidal configuration with a single die-cut template. Indicate that it is preferred that the template (100) be materialized in recyclable cardboard, and may include finishes selected from Impressions with ink and/or acrylic varnish.

Having sufficiently described the nature of the invention, as well as the way of carrying it out in practice, it should be noted that the provisions indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are susceptible to detailed modifications as long as they do not alter the fundamental principle.
