Description

Packaging for bottles.

The present invention relates to a packaging for bottles, made of corrugated cardboard or other similar material. The invention relates in particular to shipping packaging Postal.

Glass bottles are objects fragile, which should benefit from protection especially careful to send them by mail or by. other means of public transport. Packages must be able to be handled as the other packages, without requiring the operators of the Transport company special attention.

There are, as a rule, some means that ensure a reinforced protection of the bottle or the bottles against bumps. It is, for example, wedges interiors that tend to immobilize objects and prevent these may come into contact with each other or with the walls of the packaging. These wedges must also allow the absorption of the energy of the blows.

Patents Nos. 2 779 527-A and 3,056,576-A of the United States indicate about battery packaging, which has a means of reinforced protection, consisting of side walls, which They are bent over a part of their height.

The Applicant has set the goal of realization of packaging for bottles, which offers a protection that is suitable for sending by mail.

The Applicant has also been set as aim the development of a packaging concept, which can be applied for the manufacture of boxes for the respective transport of one, two, three or six bottles.

Likewise, the Applicant has been set as objective the realization of a packaging, which does not need the Assembly of several different parts by the user. In special, the focused objective refers to a packaging that one placed in its volumetric form from a single plate, of cardboard or other similar material.

The present invention allows to achieve all
these goals. The packaging of the present invention - for at least one bottle and made of corrugated cardboard or other similar material - comprises four side walls and a bottom, made from a single plate, which has at least four parts or panels, which constitute the side walls as well as wings, which extend over some of the aforementioned bottom panels, and this packaging is characterized by the fact that two first side walls, opposite each other, are each folded over a part of its height and by two cardboard thicknesses, formed by the panels of at least a first wing that forms the bottom, being ensured, in turn, the catch of the bottle as well as a damping of the blows; This packaging also includes wings that constitute the cover, while at least one of the said wings is provided for catching the neck of the
bottle.

In particular, the bending panels are formed by a double folding at 180 degrees of two first wings. These are wings that extend the panels, which constitute The first two side walls. In a convenient way, the two first wings comprise a respective folded part, each of which covers one half of the bottom of the packaging so form at least one of the bottom walls.

For this kind of packaging, corrugated cardboard It is of the conventional type. It can be a cardboard single groove or double groove, with a sheet of coating, preferably on both sides thereof.

With surprise it has been found that obtained excellent shock resistance by this means of inner fuck, which is made by folding in the form of accordion and by the withdrawal into the walls, serving the wings to form the bottom.

According to another characteristic, it turns out that the bottom is formed by wings that extend the four panels that form the side walls. In this way, it is done also a means of damping for the blows, which are directed in the direction of the axis of the bottles.

According to another feature, it’s so The packaging includes some ties that form the lid, and therefore less one of the aforementioned wings is planned to take the bottle neck.

According to a particular embodiment for a single bottle packaging, it turns out that the side walls they comprise a fifth panel, which is folded by one of the walls lateral.

According to another embodiment of a packaging for at least two bottles it is like this, that the fund includes the minus a second tie, which is extended by a bent part that forms a partition of longitudinal separation between the two bottles

Especially for six bottles, the packaging it comprises a fifth panel with the width of half a side wall, as this packaging also includes a sixth panel, which constitutes the partition wall for the bottles, and the same It is adjacent to the fifth panel.

Thus, the present invention allows giving to know a range of packaging for one to six bottles, using a single cardboard plate each time. Do not only the storage of the packaging of different types, but the user can also quickly move from one packing model to the other, and the assembly procedures are the same.

The other features and advantages of the present invention can be appreciated from the description, related below for different embodiments of the invention, which does not limit it, doing so reference to the attached drawings, in which:

Figure 1 shows a cardboard plate for the packaging of a bottle, according to the invention;

Figure 2 indicates a cardboard plate for a packaging of three bottles, according to the invention;

Figure 3 shows a cardboard plate for a bottle packaging, according to the invention; while

Figure 4 indicates the different phases of assembly of a package of six bottles, from an iron according to Figure 3.

Figure 1 shows a plate of corrugated cardboard, conveniently cut and marked to manufacture a bottle packaging, in accordance with the present invention. Be it is a corrugated cardboard as it is used, by For example, for packages sent by mail. To make the packaging can also be used a sheet of material alveolar type plastic that, in this case, replaces the paperboard.

In this plate 1, the folding lines are indicated by the broken lines. These lines are made, for example, by crushing the cardboard by means of an appropriate tool. The springs are indicated with continuous lines. The lines called "esloterizados" (by the Esloter Machine) - that is to say, they are cut to half entry and in the way that allows the folding of the iron in 180 degrees - are
indicated by lines, which are connected with other perpendicular lines.

In this way, the iron comprises five adjoining panels, numbered successively 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, of rectangular shape and joined together by the fold lines, in the greatest dimension of them. On the one hand, the panels are they extend through wings 21, 31, 41, 51 and 61, respectively. For him on the other hand, these panels are extended by the wings, 22, 32, 42, 52 and 62, respectively. These wings are articulated around the folding lines, so that they can be folded in 90 degrees with respect to the other.

Therefore, the first wings, 31 and 51, are found together with their respective honeycombs through a respective double folding line, 31 'and 51', which allow a 180 degree folding.

The wings, 31 and 51, are subdivided by a first line "esloterizada", 31S and 51S, respectively, that delimit two honeycombs, 31A and 31B as well as 51A and 51B, respectively. The two zones, 31R and 51R, that form the parts folded, they are adjacent to the panels, 31B and 51B, respectively. The width of the bends is, in this case, very about half the length of the folding lines.

The wing 21 comprises, by its free edge, a fixing means 21A. It corresponds to the fixing means 22R of wing 22. Attack 42 has a cutout, intended to receive The neck of the bottle.

The packaging is also indicated. They fold the panels in 90 degrees, so that a rectangular parallelepiped. Panels, 2 and 6, one are placed over the other. At this level there is a double wall. For maintain the assembly, the tongue 23 is inserted into the corresponding slit 65, provided between the panels, 5 and 6.

To perform the fund:

- The wings, 31 and 51, are separated from each other;

- Panel 41 is bent 180 degrees against the wall 4;

- The wings, 31 and 51, are folded inside and against the walls, 3 and 5;

- The panels, 31B and 51B, are folded over the panels, 31A and 51A, respectively;

- The folded parts, 31R and 51R, are folded in 90 degrees and parallel to the bottom;

- The two wings, 21 and 61, are folded in 90 degrees to form the bottom;

- The fund is closed through the middle of 21A fixing.

Therefore, the thickness of the bottom is constituted by the bent parts, 21R and 51R, by the wing 21 as well as by the wing 61.

The packaging, thus placed in its volumetric form, It is used to place the bottle inside and close it by fold the folded parts. You start by placing the bottle, sliding the folded part 42 with its notch over the neck of the bottle. The folded parts of the other panels ensures the catch of the bottle in its longitudinal direction. It stays,  in this way, firmly held inside the packaging. He double thickness in the walls, 31 and 51, ensures, at the same time, a bottle catch and shock absorption.

A package of this class has been credited as Very efficient in the case of a fall. Launched from a position At the top of a ladder, the bottle has not been damaged.

Figure 2 shows a packaging that is similar to the previous packaging, but intended to accommodate three bottles within it.

This packaging comprises four panels 102, 103, 104 and 105. Panels 103 and 105 are wide enough to Hold three bottles, placed next to each other. Be they find, on the one hand, wings 121, 131,141 and 151 and, on the other side, wings 122, 132, 142 and 152.

As in the example in Figure 1, the wings, 131 and 151, each comprise two panels, 131A and 131B as well. as 151A and 151B, respectively, separated from each other by a line esloterizada, as these wings also comprise the parts folded, 131R and 151 R. The bent part has a tongue of 151F fixing.

This embodiment differs from the anterior by the wings, 121 and 141, which here are prolonged by a bent part, 121R and 141R, respectively, whose length is, at most, as large as the length of the panels, 102 and 104.

For the assembly:

- The parallelepiped is formed with the four panels, and then the bottom is formed;

- The panels, 131A and 151A, are folded against the panels, 103 and 105, and then panels, 131B and 151B are folded, against the panels, 131A and 151A;

- Then the wings, 121 and 141, are folded such that their respective bent parts, 121R and 141R, constitute separations within the volume of the box to three bottles;

- Then the parts are folded folded, 131R and 151R, at 90 degrees, and the set is closed by middle of fastener 151F.

In this way, both the bottom is formed as the separations for the three bottles. The slides slide bottles inside the box, and they are taken by middle of the folded part 132, which comprises notches for accommodate the three bottlenecks. Wings 122, 142 and 152 ensure a bottle pick in the longitudinal direction. He ata 152 comprises a fixing means like this that can be observe in Figure 2.

The bottom has, therefore, three thicknesses: In part wings, 121 and 141, bent part 131R as well as part folded 151R.

Figure 3 shows a form of embodiment of the present invention, intended for six bottles and with an interior partition wall.

The box comprises six adjoining panels, numbered successively 602, 603, 604, 605, 606 and 607. On the one hand, they are extended by wings 621, 631, 641, 651, 661 and 671.

The width of the two panels, 602 and 606, is mainly equal to half the width of panel 604 and corresponds to the width of the bottle. Panels 603, 605 and 607 They are three bottles wide.

The function of the wings is as follows: wings, 631 and 651, are separated - in the sense of length and by a slotterized line, as in the two forms of previous embodiment - in two respective panels, 631A and 631B, as well as 651A and 651B. We also find the folded parts, 631R and 651R.

Each of the wings, 621, 641 and 661 comprises a bent part 621R, 641R and 661R, respectively, for constitute separations, transversely to the separation formed by panel 607.

Each of the panels also includes the wings, numbered successively 622, 632, 642, 652, 662 and 672. The wings, 632 and 672, are clipped with notches to house the bottlenecks

As this can be seen in the Figure 4, the assembly is as follows:

The box is placed in its volumetric form, forming a parallelepiped, with the difference in relation to the two previous embodiments of the two panels, 602 and 606, together constitute the wall, opposite wall 604. Panel 607 is turned 90 degrees inside the box in order to form a separation for two equal compartments.

Next, the bottom of the box:

- The panels, 631A and 651A, are folded against the corresponding walls, 603 and 605;

- The panels are folded, 631B and 651B, against panels 631A and 651A, see Figure 4A;

- Wings 621, 641 and 661 are folded in 90 degrees;

- The folded parts are folded in 90 degrees 621R, 641R and 661R to form the partitions transversely to the partition 607, see Figure 4B,

- The folded parts, 631R and 651R, are folded, which are closed to form the bottom of the box;

- The box is turned over in this way to be able to place six bottles in each of the alveoli, see the Figure 4C;

- It closes by placing, first of all, the necks of the bottles laterally with the notches provided on the wings, 632 and 672, and then placing these in the direction by the wings 622, 642 and 662. The wing 652 is provided with a means with which the lid is closed
ra.
