Definitions

  • This invention relates to containers made of cardboard, corrugated board or similar lightweight foldable sheet material, comprising a container part and a lid part, and has as its primary object to provide such a container with improved means for holding the lid part against opening.
  • a container made of cardboard, corrugated board or similar lightweight foldable sheet material, comprising a container part and a lid part which when the lid is closed respectively define inner and outer walls of an outwardly projecting corner of the container, the said wall of the lid part including a holding portion which extends around said corner and is displaceable inwardly into a complementary aperture in the corresponding corner region of the container part whereby to hold the lid part against opening, said holding portion being at least partially separable from the lid part to permit such opening when desired.
  • the holding portion being at least partially separable from the lid part to enable the lid to be opened means that the container is tamper-evident following such opening, by virtue of such separation of the holding portion being apparent.
  • the said holding portion is displaceable inwardly by reversing a fold line therein which defines the said corner.
  • the holding portion is then preferably formed with further fold lines on opposite sides of said corner fold line and parallel thereto, to assist said reverse folding.
  • the said holding portion is at least partially separable as aforesaid by way of a line of spaced perforations extending at least partially around its perimeter.
  • the container has a plurality of said outwardly projecting corners, each with a said holding portion and aperture.
  • the lid part could be hinged to the container part, in which case the container could be made from a single blank of corrugated board or the like. Alternatively the lid part could be separate and telescopically engageable with the container part.
  • the scope of the invention also extends to a blank or blanks for making a container as set forth above.
  • This lidded box according to the invention is particularly for holding cut flowers during transit, and comprises a box body and a lid which are interengageable in telescopic fashion.
  • the blank for making the box lid comprises a main panel 1, two side wall panels 2 hingedly carrying end wall flaps 3, and inner and outer end wall panels 4 and 5.
  • the blank shown in Figure 2 for making the box body comprises a base panel 6, side wall panels 7 carrying end wall flaps 8, and pairs of inner and outer end wall panels 9 and 10.
  • the blanks of Figures 1 and 2 are erected in a conventional manner by folding up the side wall panels, folding their end wall flaps in, folding up the inner end wall panels, folding the outer end wall panels in through 180° to enclose the end wall flaps between the inner and outer end wall panels, and gluing the end wall components together to hold the whole assembly erect.
  • FIG 3 shows how each of two diagonally opposite corners (only one shown) of the box body 11 is formed with an aperture 12 extending around the corner, defined by suitable cut-outs in the panels as clearly shown in Figure 2.
  • Each of the holding portions 14 is formed with a line of perforations 17 in line with the corner fold 16 of the erected lid, and two further lines of perforations 18 one on each side of the line 17, to enable the central area of the holding portion to be displaced inwardly, as shown in Figure 4, into the complementary aperture 12 in the corner of the box body 11.
  • This engagement of the diagonally opposite holding portions 14 of the lid in the corresponding apertures 12 in the body holds the lid on the box body and prevents its removal.
  • the holding portions are removed by tearing along their perimetric lines of perforations, as shown in Figure 5, so that the lid is released and may be removed. Such removal of the holding portions makes the box tamper-evident.
  • the above described embodiment of the invention is a container whose two parts, the box body and the lid, are separate units made from separate blanks.
  • the scope of the invention also extends, however, to containers whose two said parts are permanently interconnected, such as a box body and a hinged lid made from a single blank, for example.
