Description

Cardboard box for bulk products.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a box of cardboard for bulk products, whose walls have the particularity of being very thick and are determined by two plates superimposed concentrically with each other.

The object of the invention is to provide a box with characteristics that allow its use in the transport and marketing of, for example, frozen foods in bulk, as well as its reuse numerous times.

Background of the invention

Certain bulk products, such as frozen products, are transported and marketed in containers that in some cases are made of cardboard, and in others they are made of metal cages lined internally with cardboard and in other cases they are made of plastic, to cite Some
examples.

Now, these types of boxes, which are great capacity, they constitute packaging that most of the time does not they are reusable, in those cases where they are reusable, always talking about cardboard boxes, the number of reuses is very limited, and all this because when it comes to boxes or cardboard packaging, the thickness of the boxes is not enough to to be able to carry out its reuse, and in the case of thick cardboard, are difficult to fold to carry out the conformed or armed of the own box.

Description of the invention

The recommended box has been designed to solve the problem described above, based on a simple but effective solution.

More specifically, the box of the invention is it constitutes by means of two plates, one of them arranged inwardly as a lining, and another envelope of the previous one, of so that the inner plate only affects the walls lateral but not at the bottom and at the top, while the iron exterior besides the side walls presents flaps for determine, by folding, the bottom and the lid.

Because between the two plates the thickness of the wall that determines the box will be approximately 5 cm, being the thickness of the inner plate less than the thickness of the plate outside, to carry out the assembly it is necessary to present, in correspondence with the fold lines, some cleft for facilitate assembly, clearances that will be simple in correspondence with the fold lines of the flaps and in correspondence with two of the vertical fold lines, which must be folded at 90º, while the remaining two vertical fold lines, alternated with the previous ones, and that have to fold to 180º in the manufacturing process, have six clearances in each case, to facilitate that folding at 180º, while the simple creases They allow folding at 90º, as previously stated.

In addition, in correspondence with the extremes of the vertical folding lines of the outer plate have been provided open slots that have a configuration as of bulb, and that are planned to facilitate the folding of the flaps

Finally say that the box will complement with reinforced self-adhesive tapes located on the face inside the walls of the outer plate, including this is an identifiable outside area indicating the location of a chip set by the inside of that plate Exterior.

Said chip can be changed in each case in function of customer needs and can serve to identify the box and verify its reuse, as well as to store content information or for any other exchange of information, for which the user has prepared Your computer system. For example, in frozen products to Bulk, you can control a possible breakage of the chain cold.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that then it will be done and in order to help a better understanding of the features of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization thereof, is accompanied as an integral part of that description, a set of drawings in where illustrative and not limiting, it has been represented the next:

Figure 1.- Shows a representation corresponding to the development of the outer plate that participates in the constitution of the box object of the invention.

Figure 2.- Shows a plan view corresponding to the development of the inner plate that participates also in the constitution of the box of the invention.

Figures 3 and 4.- Show the details (A) and (B) represented in figure 1, and corresponding to the slots which make it possible to fold the flaps that have to form the bottom and box cover.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As you can see in the referred figures, the box of the invention is constituted by two plates (1 and 2), both of cardboard and of great thickness, being the thickness of the plate (1) greater than the thickness of the plate (2) and between them they can present a thickness of about 5 cm.

The iron (1) in the assembly of the box, which has if it is of rectangular configuration, it will constitute the outer part of the box, while the iron (2) will be the part inside said box and is concentrically arranged to the previous, in correspondence with the walls, without affecting the bottom Or to the lid.

The iron (1), which is rectangular as shown in the figure, presents two transverse fold lines (3) and two transverse fold lines (4), alternated, so that between these fold lines (3 and 4) sectors (5 and 6) that they must form two of the major faces and two of the faces minor, respectively, defining the fold lines (3 and 4) the vertical edges of the box.

Sectors (5 and 6) extend laterally in respective pairs of flaps (7 and 8) that after folding shape the bottom and the lid of the box.

The marginal sector (9) with its side flaps (10) constitute the closure means of the tubular conformation of the box, by adhesive of said sector (9) and flaps (10) on the opposite sector (6), since the box in regards to the iron exterior (1) is formed by folding at 90º of the bending lines (3 and 4), the bending lines (4) being, like the lines of fold that delimit the flaps (7 and 8), simple since the folding of each other must be at 90º, while the lines of fold (3) in the manufacture of the box must be folded 180º, so that these fold lines (3) present, each of them, between three and five cleft to enable precisely that folding to 180º.

To enable the folding of the flaps (7 and 8), the ends of the fold lines (3 and 4) constituting the vertical edges of the box have grooves (11 and 12), respectively, with a configuration close to the circular, although open to precisely allow folding of the flaps (7 and 8) commented and form the bottom and the lid of the box.

As stated previously, the iron (1) is complemented by the iron (2), leaving it inside of the box formed by the iron (1), whereby said iron (2) will present the sectors (5 ') that will be attached to the sectors (5) of the outer plate, and the sectors (6 ') that will remain attached to the sectors (6), always on the inside of the outer plate (1), so that said inner plate (2) logically presents the transverse fold lines (3 'and 4'), which will correspond to the bending lines (3 and 4) of the plate (1), in the conformation of the box and in the concentric arrangement of the folded plate (2) inside the folded plate (1), said inner plate (2) counting with the extreme extension (9 ') to be fixed by gluing on the end sector (6 ') in the tubular conformation of said inner plate (2).

One of the walls or faces of the iron exterior (1), and in the embodiment shown in figure 1 the sector (6) which must constitute one of the minor side walls, It has a perfectly identifiable zone (13) that is planned to constitute the location of a chip provided in the inside and facilitate the reading of it, also in that area (13) will paste a tag with information about the code chip numeric and / or bar.

As already said before, the box can be reinforced by self-adhesive tapes internal arranged on the internal surface of the plate exterior (1).

The box thus constituted offers significant advantages over conventional ones, since on the one hand it is reusable and therefore the cost of investment in packaging of this type is reduced, and on the other hand it is palletizable and stackable by virtue of the large resistance offered by the remarkable thickness that determines the sum of the two plates (1 and 2) constituting the box, being able to estimate that six boxes filled with a weight of 6,000 kg can be stacked. in total, considering a box with internal measurements of
1,180 x 980 x 1,000 mm.
