Abstract

Variable volumetric packaging, of the type that make up a kind of cardboard box, to house objects of different sizes in its interior, characterized in that it is constituted by a tubular body, of considerable length, undefined, which through four lines of folding is capable of adopting a flat configuration or of configuring a rectangular prism, with the special feature that said tubular body is provided with a plurality of perimetral climbing lines, uniformly distributed and sensibly close, which allow the fragmentation of the tubular body in modules or sectors of height according to that of different objects to be packed, said tubular body being supplemented with a plurality of lids engageable to the ends of each module obtained therefrom.

Description

Variable volumetric packaging.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a packaging, specifically to a cardboard packaging, intended for transport and distribution of light objects, that is, of reduced weight, which does not they require a high degree of structural rigidity in said packaging.

The object of the invention is to achieve a packaging that, from initial dimensions preset, can be adapted to a wide variety of sizes different, through an extremely fast evacuation maneuver and simple.

Background of the invention

For packing objects such as previously cited, that is, of variable volumetry but of reduced weight, cardboard boxes are usually used, equipped of different types of closure.

For obvious reasons of use of space available, both in storage and in transport, these boxes must have minimum dimensions but adequate to object of containing, so that to achieve the objective that just cited, it is necessary to have a wide variety of Boxes of different sizes.

This implies in practice the need to manufacture and store a wide range of boxes, with the consequent and negative impact this implies.

Description of the invention

The packaging proposed by the invention resolves the problem was fully satisfactory before exposed, so that from a single packaging can Obtain, at the time of use, a multitude of packaging different sizes, without more conditioning than being coincident in their dimensions in plan, that is, allowing you to vary at will your height without having to originally have different packaging suitable to the different heights required.

For this and more specifically, the packaging that the invention proposes is constituted from a body tubular, of indefinite length, in any case considerable, trained to stay in flattened disposition, that is with a minimum space occupation, as well as to adopt a prismatic-rectangular configuration, but with the special feature that said tubular body incorporates a plurality of perimeter lines of climbing, evenly distributed and relatively close, climbing lines weak enough not to have an excessive impact on the mechanical resistance of the tubular body, but at the same time weak enough to allow easy tearing of the tubular body by any one of them.

In this way and from the aforementioned body Tubular indefinite length, can be removed from it portions of equal or different lengths, which will result in any case to packaging that, having the same plant, they will present different heights, those appropriate to those of different types of objects to be packed.

The said tubular body is complemented by a plurality of covers provided with any coupling means a the ends of the tubular body fragments obtained, for Complete the packing.

These caps can also adopt a laminar configuration, to reduce its volumetric occupancy, counting for example with marginal fins that are pluggable at the ends of the tubular body, for proper stabilization to the latter, which may be made final, for example, with the incorporation of adhesive strips type "Cello®".

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1. - Shows an exploded perspective. of a variable volumetric packaging, made in accordance with the object of the present invention.

Figure 2. - Shows a detailed plan of the tubular body that participates in the packing of the previous figure, in the process of obtaining a module or part thereof, for the Obtain a packing box.

Figure 3. - Shows a detail in perspective of the box obtained by removing the packaging module from the previous figure.

Figure 4. - Shows a similar representation to the previous figure, corresponding to obtaining a box or packaging module of considerably greater height.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can Observe how the packaging proposed by the invention is constituted from a tubular body (1), for example of corrugated cardboard, obtained for example based on a sheet rectangular with longitudinal fold lines, which close on themselves using the classic adhesive tab, but with the special feature that in said laminar body establish a plurality of perimeter or transverse lines of climbed (2), uniformly distributed and relatively next.

The tubular body (1) will have a length undefined, in any case very considerable, which can be greater than 1 meter, so that from said tubular body and as shown in Figure 2, they are obtainable by tearing, modules (3) of appropriate length to the specific requirements of each item to be packed, thus achieving a box or low height packaging, as shown in figure 3, or one of considerably greater height, as in figure 4, without further limitation of consecutive sizes than the distance between climbing lines (2).

The tubular body (1) is complemented by a plurality of caps (4) attachable to the ends of each module (3), which can adopt the configuration as a tray shown in figures 1 and 4, where the fins (5) of said covers (4) they are enveloping the tubular body (1) and are conveniently armed to stabilize the latter, or as in the case shown in figure 3, the caps (4 ') can have their fins tucked into the tubular body (1), in which case they do not require armed means, since it is their own tubular body (1) the one that assembles the covers when they are fitted in their inside.

In any case you get boxes or units Packaging (3) of dimensions appropriate to the requirements specific to each case, without the need to originally provide of different packages designed for these measures.

Claims (3)

1. Variable volumetric packaging, of the type of those that form a kind of practicable cardboard box, to house inside objects of different sizes, characterized in that it is constituted by a tubular body, of considerable length, indefinite, that by four lines folding is capable of adopting a flat configuration or of configuring a rectangular prism, with the particular feature that said tubular body is provided with a plurality of perimeter lines of climbing, uniformly distributed and substantially close, which allow fragmentation of the tubular body into modules or sectors of height in accordance with that of different objects to be packed, complementing said tubular body with a plurality of caps attachable to the ends of each module obtained therefrom. 2. Variable volumetric packaging according to claim 1, characterized in that said climbing lines are sufficiently robust so as not to negatively and appreciably influence the mechanical strength of the packaging, and at the same time are weak enough to allow tearing of the body tubular by any of them. 3. Variable volumetric packaging according to previous claims, characterized in that the complementary caps of the tubular body have fins on their edges that can be coupled externally or internally to the ends of each module or segment obtained by tearing the tubular body.
