Description

DESCRIPTION

Cardboard container with security closure for the commercialization of detergent capsules and similar

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention refers to a cardboard container that, although it has been initially planned for the commercialization of detergent capsules, could be equally applicable in other fields in which similar features are required.

The object of the invention is to provide a container that has stable and safe closing means that prevent accidental opening of the container, and that require an unintuitive maneuver that prevents children from accessing its content.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the preferred field of application of the invention, that of detergent capsules, these are supplied in plastic containers fundamentally due to the fact that this type of product can be very dangerous for children if they have access to them, so that this type of packaging includes opening means that require a certain skill that makes it unlikely that children will be able to open them.

However, the plastic nature of this type of packaging is an obvious ecological problem, so its marketing in cardboard packaging would be the solution to this environmental problem.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The cardboard container that is recommended solves in a fully satisfactory way the aforementioned problems, based on a simple but effective solution.

For this, and more specifically, the container of the invention is constituted from the development of a die-cut cardboard sheet with folding lines that define a rectangular prismatic container with a folding top lid on the top edge of its rear wall, lid that includes a perimeter skirt that affects its front edge and its side edges, so that, on the outer face of the front wall of the container, two tabs are established that fold over said wall, constituting prominent elements that will determine the blocking means for the box, presenting the aforementioned flap of the lid in correspondence with these elements a multilayer structure in which a formal and dimensionally appropriate recess or recess is internally defined for said tabs, so that they fit into said recesses, so that said multi-layer structure includes an external wall that covers said recesses, these being hidden externally, with the exception of a couple of holes destined to give way to respective user's fingers in order to be able to press on said tabs to cause the lid to unlock.

In this way, to unlock the lid it is necessary to carry out a simultaneous maneuver with both hands, specifically with the fingers of both hands, preferably the thumbs, which must press on the aforementioned tabs so that they disengage from the notches on which they were locked. , so that once the lid is unlocked it can be tilted to access the contents inside.

Given the structure of the container, the closing of the lid by tilting it will cause an automatic locking of the lid, as the tabs fit back into the notches in the skirt of the box due to their own tendency to unfold them, all of this through a quick, simple and automatic maneuver.

In this way, a cardboard container is achieved with opening means that are not intuitive for a child, achieving a safe, simple and perfectly functional container.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that will be made below and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to an example A preferred practical embodiment of the same is accompanied as an integral part of said description, a set of plans where, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective development of a cardboard container for the commercialization of detergent capsules and the like made in accordance with the object of the present invention.

Figures 2 to 6.- Show perspective views of different progressive assembly sequences of the container of the invention.

Figure 7.- Shows a perspective view of the fully assembled container and in an open position.

Figure 8.- Shows, finally, a view similar to that of figure 7 but with the lid of the container in a closed and locked position for it.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the figures outlined, it can be seen how the container of the invention is constituted from the development of a die-cut cardboard sheet with folding lines, in which a rectangular sector is defined that determines the bottom (4) of the container, from whose larger sides emerge two rectangular sectors that determine the anterior (5) and posterior (3) larger lateral walls, extending the anterior lateral wall (5) in a rectangular sector (9) that folds over it internally, as shown Figure 2, giving it a double-walled structure, with "U" notches on its upper edge that determine tabs (10) that fold outward when assembling the container, determining the lid locking means, such as will be explained later.

Thus, for the assembly of the main body of the lid of the sides of the bottom (4), front (5) and rear (3) larger side walls, as well as the rectangular sector (9), two rectangular sectors will emerge (6,7 ,8,11) that are fixed to each other, forming the smaller side walls of the container.

For its part, from the upper end of the larger rear side wall (3) emerges a rectangular sector that determines the closure lid (1) which, as has been said previously, will present a perimeter skirt that, when closing it, externally embraces the minor lateral walls and the anterior major lateral wall (5).

This skirt is obtained from a rectangular sector that emerges from the front edge of said lid (1), determining the front (13) of the skirt, and two trapezoidal sectors (2) that determine the lateral skirts of the lid, all of them extending in determining sectors of a double wall (12-15) that folds internally on the skirt, giving it greater robustness.

Well, in accordance with the essence of the invention, the double wall (15) that folds over the inside of the front (13) of the skirt includes some "U" shaped notches (16), formally and dimensionally appropriate to the tabs (10) that emerge from the front larger lateral face (5) of the container, in order to determine some cavities in which said tabs (10) fit.

To give greater depth to said cavities and that the flanges (10) are therefore better locked without risk of accidental unlocking, it has been planned that end sectors (14) with U-shaped notches (16') emerge from the lateral edges of the skirt. ) that in the assembly of the skirt are also aligned with the notches (16), increasing, as has been said, the depth of the housings that define them, in order that the tabs (10) due to their own tendency to unfold, penetrate to the bottom of said housings.

In this way, and as shown in Figures 7 and 8, a pair of holes (17) will be established on the front (13) for the passage of the user's fingers, facing the tabs (10), in order to be able to press on them to extract them from the housing defined by the internal notches (16-16') in the front of the skirt, a maneuver that must be carried out in a synchronized manner for both hands/fingers and that allows the lid to be unlocked, the lid to be locked again fully automatically by simply tilting it downwards until the tabs (10) snap back into place by its own tendency to unfold in the housings defined by the notches (16 16').
