Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tray for holding and displaying articles suitable for use at the place of sale, for example in retail shops.
  • the tray is in particular suitable for use in a pushfeed system.
  • the invention further relates to a method to open and place such a tray onto the display shelves, more particularly on a pushfeed system at the place of sale.
  • trays generally made of cardboard to store and transport articles from the manufacturing location to the place of sale.
  • a tray for holding and displaying articles is formed from at least one blank made of corrugated cardboard which is suitably cut, scored and folded to produce a box, generally a rectangular shaped box.
  • Shelf Ready Packaging is the term used to refer to a product that comes in a ready merchandised unit to the place of sale.
  • the Shelf Ready Packaging is preferably easy to identify, easy to open, can easily be put onto the shelf and can be easily be disposed of.
  • Shelf Ready Packaging normally includes a cover part which can be removed from a bottom part, for example by tearing away the cover part from the bottom part.
  • the packaging can be provided with a tear strip or with a tear line, for example a perforated tear line.
  • the trays have sufficient stability to avoid collapsing and/or breaking of the trays when being placed on the shelves.
  • the stability problem is more pronounced in case the trays have a longer length and/or the articles in the tray have a high weight.
  • the stability problem can be solved by increasing the design strength of the trays (for example by using thicker cardboard) or by increasing the amount of material (for example by using trays with a higher side walls).
  • a particular type of Shelf Ready Packaging comprises packaging used in a pushfeed system.
  • the articles such as pouches present in the packaging are forwarded to the front of the tray by a pusher plate, for example a plastic pusher plate, driven by a biasing means, such as a spring.
  • the pusher plate is movably mounted on a guiderail on the shelf. Before putting a tray with pouches in such a pushfeed system the tray is provided with an opening in the back wall or in the back wall and the bottom wall allowing the pusher plate to reach the articles present in the tray and thus to allow the pusher plate to push the articles in the tray forward.
  • a strip is removed from the back wall or from the bottom wall and the back wall.
  • the bottom wall and/or the back wall are provided with a recess (open space) and consequently the tray loses strength.
  • the trays have a limited length and/or a limited weight, no considerable problems are observed when a tray is placed in a pushfeed system.
  • problems occur such as collapsing of the trays or breaking of the sidewalls with as consequence that the articles fall.
  • the problem can be solved by using thicker cardboard for example B-flute (3 mm) instead of E-flute (1.8-2mm) or by using higher side walls, none of these solutions is desired.
  • GB893562 relates to folding boxes which are adapted for stacking and nesting one within the other such as may be used for packing and dispatching vegetables or fruit, which box is usually made of pliable material, such as cardboard and which can be erected by bending the side and end walls along fold lines.
  • the first solution results in broader trays with as consequence that less pushfeed systems can be installed on a shelf and that the guiderails of existing pushfeed systems are not suitable anymore.
  • the second solution is not desired as it increases the costs (higher material costs) and the use of more material increases the amount of material to dispose.
  • a tray for holding and displaying articles is provided.
  • the tray is in particular suitable for use at the place of sale of the articles for example in retail shops and more particularly for use in pushfeed systems.
  • the tray comprises a bottom part comprising
  • the tray is preferably made of cardboard, preferably corrugated cardboard.
  • the corrugated cardboard comprises for example E-flute, B-flute or S-flute. The choice is for example determined by the length of the tray.
  • the tray comprises B-flute or S-flute.
  • a concave section is meant a section that is curving in or hollowing inwards. A characteristic of a concave section is that for each line drawn between any two point of the curve of the concave section this line will not cross the curve of the concave section.
  • a straight upper edge provided with a concave section is meant that the straight upper edge is provided with a section that is curving in or hollowing inwards. If the concave section is considered as a function f(x), the second derivative of this function f"(x) is greater than zero.
  • the minimum of the concave section is located at a height H2 above the bottom wall.
  • the flexibility and/or bendability of the side wall or side walls is improved allowing to bend the side wall laterally outwards.
  • the trays according to the present invention allow easy opening and easy placing of the tray on the display shelves without risking collapsing and/or breaking of the trays without using significant thicker material, such as thicker cardboard or without using significant more material, such as significant higher side walls.
  • trays according to the present invention trays having a long length or trays holding heavy weight articles can be opened and placed on display shelves without risking collapsing and/or breaking of the trays.
  • the trays according to the present invention are even suitable to be used on pushfeed systems even if the trays have a long length or hold heavy articles. Trays according to the present invention having a length of 354 mm made of E-flute or S-flute may hold a weight of 1.5 to 2 kg without problems.
  • the trays according to the present invention allow to increase the length of trays without need to increase the thickness of the cardboard. This is of particular importance as if the thickness of the cardboard is not or not considerable increased compared to existing trays used for pushfeed systems, the width of the trays is not or not considerable increased compared to existing trays so that existing pushfeed systems with the existing guiderails can be used.
  • the thickness of the cardboard is for example lower than 2.3 mm for trays having a length of 354 mm.
  • the curve describing the concave section comprises preferably a circle arc having a radius R.
  • the radius R of the circle arc of the concave section is preferably larger than the length L of the first side wall and of the second side wall. More preferably, the radius R of the circle arc of the concave section is larger than 1.2 times the length L or larger than 1.5 times the length L.
  • the curve of the concave section comprises more than one circle arc having a radius R, for example two circle arcs connected by a straight line.
  • the straight line connecting the two circle arcs is for example oriented parallel with the bottom wall, for example the height of the minimum of the concave section, i.e. at a height H2 above the bottom wall.
  • both the first and the second side wall have a straight edge provided with a concave section.
  • the upper edge of the first and the upper edge of the second side wall have the same height, H1.
  • the minimum of the concave section of the first side wall and the minimum of the concave section of the second side wall have the same height H2.
  • the height H1 of the upper edge of the first side wall can be different from the height H1 of the upper edge of the second side wall.
  • the height H2 of the minimum of the concave section of the first side wall can be different from the height H2 of the minimum of the concave section of the second side wall.
  • the concave section is extending over the major part of the length L of the first and/or second side wall.
  • the length d over which the concave section is extending is defined as the length of projection of the concave section in the plane of the side wall (the first or the second side wall) on the plane of the bottom wall.
  • the length d over which the concave section is extending is at least 60 % of the length L of the first and/or second side wall.
  • the ratio of the length d over which the concave section is extending divided by the length L of the first or second side wall, I/L is higher than 0.65, more preferably the I/L is higher than 0.70, as for example higher than 0.75, 0.80 or 0.85.
  • a tray according to the present invention is used on a pushfeed system.
  • Such tray is preferably provided with a tear strip extending at least partially over the back wall and preferably partially over the back wall and partially over the bottom wall of the bottom section.
  • the tear strip is created in the back wall and/or in the bottom wall by a perforated line. Once the tear strip is removed from the bottom part, an opening is created in the back wall or in the back wall and bottom wall of the bottom part allowing the pusher plate to reach the articles present in the tray, i.e. in the bottom part of the tray.
  • the tray comprises a bottom part and a cover part.
  • the cover part is removably connected to the bottom part.
  • the cover part is for example connected to the bottom part by a temporary connection means for example by a glue or a holt melt.
  • the cover part comprises a top wall, a front wall, a back wall, a first side wall and a second side wall, whereby said front wall, back wall, first side wall and second side wall are extending vertically downwards from said top wall.
