Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pizza box particularly for take-away pizzas.
  • pizza boxes are constituted substantially by a box-like body which has a base connected to a lateral containment element with which it is possible to associate a closure lid.
  • the closure lid in turn is connected, at a connecting portion, to a portion of the upper edge of the lateral containment element.
  • pizza boxes have been proposed which are provided in two separate parts.
  • a first part is constituted by the base, which is connected, at its perimeter, to the lateral containment element, while a second part provides the closure lid, which can be associated detachably with the first part in order to provide the box.
  • the lid provided by the second part, is associated only with the base arranged at the upper end of the stack.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a pizza box which eliminates or at least reduces drastically the drawbacks cited above.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a pizza box which has a very simple structure and a competitive production cost, so that its use is advantageous also from an economical standpoint.
  • a pizza box which comprises a base associated with a lateral containment element and an upper closure lid, characterized in that it comprises, at said base or at said closure lid, at least one weakened portion which defines a sheet-like element which can be detached to provide a tray for tile pizza.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pizza box according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the step for detaching the sheet-like element from the pizza box according to the invention shown in FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a pizza associated with the sheet-like element detached from a pizza box according to the invention
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a variation of a pizza box according to the invention.
  • FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of a constructive variation of a pizza box according to the invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a view of a further variation of a pizza box according to the invention.
  • FIG. 7 is a view of the step for folding the sheet-like element.
  • FIGS. 8 to 15 are perspective views of other constructive variations of the pizza box.
  • a pizza box generally designated by the reference numeral 1 , comprises a base 2 which is associated with a lateral containment element 3 and an upper closure lid 4 .
  • the closure lid 4 as shown in the embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 1 , 2 and 4 , can be connected by means of a connecting portion 3 a to a portion of the upper edge of the lateral containment element 3 , but can also be provided, as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 5 , as a part which is separate from the base 2 and accordingly from the lateral containment element 3 .
  • the pizza box 1 has, at the base 2 (as shown in FIGS. 1 , 2 and 5 ) or (as shown in the variation of FIGS. 3 , 6 , 8 and 9 ) at the closure lid 4 , a weakened portion 5 which defines a sheet-like element 6 which can be detached from the rest of the pizza box 1 so as to provide a tray 7 for a pizza 8 .
  • the weakened portion 5 can have a closed shape and can be provided advantageously by die-cutting during the process for cutting the cardboard sheets to provide the initial bases of the pizza boxes 1 .
  • the weakened corner portions 5 a can be connected one another (as shown in FIG. 6 ), but an edge portion 4 a might also be interposed between them (as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 ).
  • the edge portion 4 a it is advantageous for the edge portion 4 a to be constituted by the closure tab 4 b of the box 1 , so that the closure tab 4 b, by remaining part of the tray 7 , can be used conveniently to handle the tray 7 even when the pizza 8 rests thereon.
  • weakened corner portions 5 b arranged proximate to the connecting portion 3 a, they can be connected by a portion 3 b of said connecting portion 3 a (as shown in FIG. 6 ) or by a curvilinear connecting portion 5 c which lies on the lateral containment element 3 ( FIG. 8 ) or also by a portion 5 d which is defined along the connecting edge 3 c between the base 2 and the lateral containment element 3 ( FIG. 9 ).
  • the weakened portion 5 has at least one grip tab 9 which is adapted to facilitate the separation of the sheet-like element 6 from the box 1 .
  • the grip tab 9 or tabs can be provided so as to remain connected, following the separation of the tray 7 , both to the pizza box 1 (and particularly to the base 2 or to the closure lid 4 ) and to the tray 7 in order to facilitate its handling.
  • the sheet-like element 6 can be provided with at least one stiffening ridge.
  • one or more folding lines 10 which lie for example along diametrical directions and are adapted to facilitate, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 7 , the folding of the sheet-like element 6 .
  • folding lines 10 can also be provided at the portions of the pizza box 1 which are not designed to form part of the sheet-like element 6 .
  • the sheet-like element 6 is provided, as shown in FIG. 6 , at the upper closure lid 4 , there is nothing to prevent the provision of one or more folding lines 10 also at the base 2 .
  • the tray can be substantially round but can also be polygonal: in any case, its edge can be at least partially curvilinear.
  • the materials used, as well as the contingent shapes and dimensions may be any according to requirements.
