It can be provided a end flap 95a that is foldably attached to the panel medium 86a along the fold line 79a. In its use the end fin is fixed to one of the lugs 93a which is extends in cross sectional panel 82a determined in part by cutting line 77a. In use, the lug 93a It is adapted for fixing to the middle support panel 12, 24 which outlined below.

It is expected that the number and position of cross-sectional panels of each semi-finished can be modified according to the number of article receiving cavities required

The construction of a finished support of the first embodiment represented in figures 2 and 3 in a folded state of the semi-finished one requires a series of operations of sequential folding and gluing that can be performed on a machine of continuous production gluing so that it is not required spin or invert the box to finish its construction. The gluing positions of the semi-finished ones are highlighted in the figures by scratching although it is planned that they can be glued other embodiments of the semi-finished in other positions, if desired. The folding procedure is not limited to the one described below and can be altered according to the requirements of private manufacturing

In this way, semi-finished 80 and 80a will be set to semi-finished 10. In this embodiment, the fins 94, 98 are fixed to the side panel 16 and the middle panel 86 is fixed to the handle panel 38 by glue or other suitable means. Likewise, the gluing fins 94a and 98a are fixed to the side panel 20 and the middle partition panel 86a is fixed to handle panel 52 by tail or other suitable means. In this way the box is in a First construction stage, represented in Figure 2A. TO then, the handle support panel 68 is folded around the fold line 66 so that they are facing each other yes with handle panel 52 so that openings 70 and 58 are line up. End panel 18 folds out of alignment with adjacent side panels 16, 20 along the lines of fold 30, 19, 32 respectively so that the panels intermediate 50, 64 so that they are facing each other with each part 18a, 18b of the end panel respectively.

The articles are introduced in their respective cavities C1, C2, C3 to finish the loading process, ready to be supplied to user, and the handle structure H and the base structure are also similar way to provide a box similar to the one It is illustrated in Figure 8.

The fourth embodiment of the box is illustrated in figures 9A and 9B. As shown in said drawings, an article stand formed from a semi-finished three parts is a packaging of "profile of arrow ", similar to that of the third embodiment described previously and therefore the same panels are designated by the same reference number to which the number "3" to replace the number "2". Thus, only the differences between the third and fourth embodiment. It can be seen in the Figure 9A that the handle consists of a three layer structure, provided by outer handle panels 338, 352 formed at from semi-finished 310 and a handle support panel 368 formed from the middle panels 386a. The handle can comprise furthermore an opening for hand 370 stamped on the panel of handle support 368 for alignment with hand openings 344 and 358. The construction of the fourth embodiment is substantially the same as the third embodiment and by Therefore it is not described in greater detail. Of course, the advantages of the third embodiment apply to the fourth form of realization. In addition, the handle structure of this form of realization results in a shorter folding time due that there are no handle support panels attached to the panels of handle 338, 352 that require folding.

The fifth embodiment is illustrated in the Figures 10A, 10B, 11, 12A, 12B and 13. Returning first to the characteristics of the fifth embodiment of the support of articles by reference to figures 10A and 10B, therein a two-part semi-finished one is shown. Semifinished can form a "parallelogram profile" packaging similar to that of the second embodiment described above and, therefore therefore, the same panels are designated by the same number of reference to which the number "4" has been prefixed instead of "one". Therefore, they are only described in greater detail. the differences between the second and fifth embodiments. In figure 10A it can be seen that the handle H consists of a structure three layers, provided by external handle panels 438 and 452 formed from semi-finished 410. The support panel of handle 468 is formed from the middle panel 486 and can comprise an opening for hand 470 arranged so that it aligns with openings 444 and 458 in a mounted box. Advantageously, the handle structure of this embodiment allows it to be formed the fastest handle because there is no support panel for handle attached to the handle panel, which requires folding.

The shape of the upper edges of the semi-finished 410 and, more particularly, handle panels 438, 452, intermediate panels 450, 464 and end panels 418 and 422 are configured to receive the corresponding panels from the next adjacent semi-finished 410. As illustrated in the figure 11, adjacent semi-finished products are stamped in a continuous roll of sheet material, whereby adjacent semi-finished products are they form symmetrical, so that they can join together, thereby achieving an efficient use of cardboard. Advantageously, the shape of the handle structure minimizes the amount of wasted cardboard and advantageously provides a aesthetically pleasing handle shape. Preferably the panels base 472, 474 have a substantially trapezoidal shape of so that the lower edges of the semifinished are joined by Complete to minimize the amount of cardboard required.

The construction of the finished support of the fifth embodiment, represented in figures 12a, 12b and 13, from a semi-finished form in a folded state flat and in a mounted box is achieved through a series of sequential folding and gluing operations that can be performed in a continuous production gluing machine, so that no it is required to spin or invert the box to finish your building. The gluing positions of the semi-finished ones are stand out by scratching, although it is planned that they can glue other semi-finished products in other positions if desired.

The box is then in a stage intermediate, represented in Figure 21B: an article holder folding finished, whereby the third end panel 722, the second side panel 720 and outer handle panel 752 are arranged in a face-to-face relationship with the first extreme wall 714, the first side panel 716 and the handle panel 738 respectively. Generally, reference is made to the box of the first form of realization as an "arrow profile" packaging, due to that the end panels fold around a line of central fold to determine two trailing edges 736, 726 and a front edge determined by the fold lines 719.

To mount the item holder, the edges front and back of the folded stand move inwards towards each other. This makes the end panels 714, 722 and 718, and the side panels 716 and 720 move from one flat folded position towards a substantially configuration rectangular that facilitates the construction of individual cavities. As illustrated in Figure 22, three are thus formed cavities C1, C2, C3. Similarly, division panels transverse 782a, 784a move out of alignment with the second side panel 720 and handle panel 752 and fold around the fold lines 788a, 792a respectively of so that the transverse partition panels 794a, 798a are in a perpendicular relationship with respect to the handle panel 752 and the 720 sidewall panel. Thus, the split panels transverse 794, 798 move out of alignment with the first side panel 716 and handle panel 738 and fold around fold lines 788 and 792 respectively, of so that the cross-sectional panels 782, 784 are in a perpendicular relationship with respect to the handle panel 738 and the side panel 716 so that three cavities are formed additional. In its use, the division panels transversal can separate and support the items in cavities adjacent.

The box is then arranged to receive the items that are preferably loaded by movement relative vertical between the items and the support during the feed feed forward well known in the technique, whereby these articles are introduced into their respective cavities by the open bottom of the support. Alternatively, the bottles can be introduced in their respective cavities by the upper part of the support.

Then, the base is formed with which the base panels 722 and 724 are arranged in an overlapping relationship and they are joined together by means of fixing means well known in The technique. In this embodiment the gluing fin 776 is glue to the 774 base panel. The base panels can be maintained in place before loading and / or after loading by coupling of base panels 772, 774 with hooks 797, 797a represented in Figures 20A and 21A.

In use, the handle lugs 746, 760 fold around handle panels 738, 752 to fix additionally the structure for hand H and the box. In this way the box of the first embodiment is in the assembled state as shown in figure 22 of the drawings.

Returning to the construction of the ninth form of embodiment depicted in figures 23A and 23B, is shown in the same an article support formed from a semi-finished two parts. The semi-finished ones can form a "parallelogram profile" packaging, which is described to continuation. The semi-finished 810, represented in Figure 23A, Provides the outer panels of the stand and includes in series longitudinal, a gluing fin 812, a first side panel 816, a first end panel 818, a second side panel 820 and a second end panel 822 each being joined of foldable way to the next along the fold lines 826, 830, 832, 834, respectively.

The handle panel 838 is connected to articulated way to an upper edge of the end panel 818. The junction point should be in a central part, if it is desired that the handle is arranged centrally. The handle panel 838 is joined by foldable way along its edge opposite the support panel medium 812 via an intermediate panel 850.

In this embodiment, the intermediate panel 850 is articulatedly attached to a side edge of the panel handle 838 along the fold line 851, and to the fin of glued along the fold line 826 as shown in the figure 23A. The handle panel 838 can comprise a pair of openings for the hand or for the fingers 844, 844a. In this form of embodiment, along the fold lines 848, 848a are attached some damping fins for the hand 846, 846a to about upper edges of hand openings 844, 844a.

Adjacent to a second side panel 820 and the second end panel 822 is arranged a second handle panel 852 that is separated from the side panels and from end by cutting lines 854 and 856 respectively that they extend from the fold lines 832 and towards the panel of end 822. Handle panel 852 is articulated to an upper edge of the end panel 822 and the end panel opposite 818 by an intermediate panel 864. In this form of embodiment, intermediate panel 864 is foldably attached to a side edge of the handle panel 852 along the line of fold 865 and end panel 818 along the line of fold 832. The second handle panel 852 preferably includes a pair of openings for the hand or fingers 858, 858a. In this way of embodiment, along the fold lines 862 and 862a are attached with hand damping fins 860, 860a to one edge upper of the respective hand openings 858, 858a.

The support panel 868 also includes an opening for hand 870, arranged intermediate between the upper and lower edges of the support panel handle 868. Hand opening 870 is arranged for alignment with hand openings 854, 858 in a box mounted. In the alternative types of an embodiment, two openings can be provided in the handle support panel 868 which are arranged in register with the openings of the handle panels In a mounted box.

From panels 872, 874 a basic structure that in this embodiment is substantially the same as that of the eighth embodiment and, therefore, it is not described in more detail.

The support division structure of articles are formed from the second semi-finished 880. The semi-finished 880 comprises a pair of split panels transverse 882, 884 stamped on middle division panel 886. The cross-sectional panel 882 is stamped on the panel medium 886 via cut lines 885 and 881 and is joined by Folding way to it along the fold line 888. The cross sectional panel 882 is further attached so articulated to the gluing fin 894 along the line of fold 896. As in the first embodiment, it is provided that the number and position of the panels can be varied transversal according to the number of receiving pockets of article required

Also, cross sectional panel 884 it is stamped on the middle panel 886 by means of the extensions of the cutting lines 855 and 881 and is foldably attached to it to along the fold line 892. The transverse panel 884 is also joined in an articulated manner to the gluing fin 894 at along the fold line 899. The middle split panel is also joined in an articulated manner at the opposite edges thereof to gluing fins 883, 887 and 889.

Along the fold line 891 is attached articulated a second middle panel 886a to panel 886. Said second middle panel 886a is similar to panel 786 and therefore the same panels are designated by the same number of reference with the addition of the letter "a". The only difference between the panels is that the gluing panel 894a does not extend in this embodiment towards panel 886, in contrast to the panel 894 that does extend into panel 886a.

The construction of the finished support of the fifth embodiment, represented in figures 23C, 24A and 24B, in a folded state from semi-finished requires a series of sequential folding and gluing operations that can be carried out in a continuous production gluing machine, of so it is not required to rotate or invert the box to Finish its construction. The gluing positions of the semi-finished ones are highlighted by scratching, although it is planned that other semi-finished products can be glued in other positions if want. The folding procedure is not limited to the one described below and can be altered according to the requirements of private manufacturing

Thus, referring to the figure 23C, semi-finished 880 folds around the fold line 891 in a direction indicated by the arrow X so that the panel 886 substantially covers panel 886. Semi-finished folding 880 is fixed to semi-finished 810. In this form of embodiment, the gluing fin 894a is fixed to the side panel 816, the middle panel 886a is fixed to the handle panel 838 and the fin of gluing 883 is fixed to the first end panel 818. Thus, the box is in a first stage of construction represented in figure 24A. Next, the support panel of handle 868 folds to cover handle panel 852 and the fin of gluing 812 folds around the fold line 826 of so that they are facing each other with the side panel 816 and the outer panels 820 and 822 fold around the fold line 832 so that they are facing each other yes with middle panel 886. End panel 822 is fixed to the gluing fin 812 and transverse gluing fin 894 is fixed to the side wall 820. The handle panel 852 is preferably fixed to the opposite side of the handle support panel 868 and the fins of Gluing 887 and 889 are fixed to end panel 822.

Folding and fixing the panels in this way the two sides of the basket-shaped support are arranged in a relationship face to face in such a way that the article holder is in a finished and folded state, represented in figure 24B. The box of the fifth embodiment, generally refers to a Packing "parallelogram profile" because the edge front is determined by the fold line 432 and the edge posterior is determined by the diametrically opposite edge provided by the fold line 426.

To mount the item holder, the edges front and back of the folded stand move inwards towards each other, this makes the end panels 822 and 818 and side panels 816 and 820 move from one position folded flat to a rectangular configuration that facilitates the construction of individual cavities. In this way, the cross-sectional panels 882, 884, 882a, 884a move out of alignment with the first and second side panel 820, 816 respectively and fold around the fold lines 888, 892, 888a and 892a, so that the split panels transversal are in a substantially perpendicular relationship with respect to the handle panel 868 and the side panels 816 and 820. It can be seen in Figure 25, that each part 882, 884, 882a, 884a extends from each side of the middle panel to form two rows of three cavities C1, C2, C3. In its use, the panels of Transversal division can separate and support the items in adjacent cavities

The box is then arranged to receive the items that are loaded by relative vertical movement between the items and the support during the movement of forward feeding well known in the art by the which said articles are introduced into their respective cavities by the open bottom of the support. Alternatively, the bottles can be introduced into their respective cavities by the upper part of the support. Then the base is formed substantially in the same manner as described above whereby the base panels 472, 474 are joined together by fixing means. Similarly, the lugs are folded handle 446, 460 around handle 468, 452 to further fix the structure for hand H and box. In this way the box of the fifth embodiment is in the assembled state as shown in figure 25 of the drawings.

A common characteristic shared by the eighth and the ninth embodiment refers to the panel structure of handle H. More particularly, the handle panels and, as can be the case, the handle support panels can be coplanar. The upper edges of the handle panels are in line with each other as Shown in Figure 20A and 23A, to minimize cardboard wasted because adjacent semi-finished ones can be stamped on a continuous roll with their respective edges superior in contact.

Another common feature is the use of a semi-finished single medium that folds along an edge to form the middle and transverse panels along the panel of handle. In certain circumstances this may simplify the mechanization of the lifting procedure.

It will be recognized that as they have been used in the present memory, directional references such as "superior", "base", "extreme" and "face" not limit the respective panels to said orientation, but serve only to distinguish said panels from each other. Any reference to an articulated union should not be construed as refers only to a single fold line: in fact it is planned that said articulated joint can be formed from one or several of the following lines, a dotted line, a frangible line or a fold line, without departing from the scope of the invention.

The present invention and its embodiment preferred refer to an article holder that is shaped to provide satisfactory resistance to save the bottle safely but with a degree of flexibility so that the load transferred to the handle be absorbed by the support. The Semifinished shape minimizes the amount of cardboard required. He support can be applied to a bottle arrangement manually or by machinery automatically. It is anticipated that particular characteristics of each embodiment described previously they are interchangeable, without departing from the scope of the invention.
