Definitions

  • the present invention relates to packaging portable, made of a material such as corrugated cardboard, for various objects, in particular for bottles.
  • the invention also concerns an American fund intended for realization of this conditioning.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these disadvantages by offering portable packaging, for bottles or other oblong objects, of a design particularly simple, in which the conditioned objects can be displayed directly for sale and which can be easily handled by a prospective buyer.
  • the invention also aims to provide packaging portable of this type that is part of another American box type packaging, separable into two parts.
  • the invention finally aims to provide a packaging of this type that can be delivered pre-assembled to users and folded flat before use, to facilitate its storage and handling.
  • Shutters adjoining the partition and hinged on this by fold lines perpendicular to the bottom may be glued against walls not parallel to this partition, preferably on either side thereof, so as to form with it a Z-profile, to facilitate folding the packaging flat.
  • One of these components may also be itself adjoining by a fold line perpendicular to the bottom at one of the walls to which the partition is parallel, so as to allow the packaging to be carried out from a single blank of corrugated cardboard or the like, suitably cut and pushed back.
  • the bottom of the packaging will be formed, in the usual way, of flaps articulated by fold lines at the base of the side walls and it can be of any type known in the technique.
  • the packaging according to the invention may be used for transport or display for sale of many other objects, including oblong objects such as metal cans, packaging aerosols, etc.
  • the invention also relates to an American box intended for the realization of a packaging such as defined above, comprising a bottom part, walls lateral parallel two by two and perpendicular to the bottom, these side walls being hinged together and on the bottom part by fold lines, part upper parallel to the bottom and articulated on the walls lateral by fold lines, and an internal partition parallel to two side walls, which is hinged on these by fold lines perpendicular to the bottom and has a grip opening,
  • this box American being characterized in that in the walls lateral lines are provided for lines of failure or weakening zones connected together, with possibly tears or tapes, extending continuously over the side walls of so as to allow the separation into two parts of the American body, namely a part to which the partition adjoining, projecting above the walls side to which they are parallel, and another part intended to be scrapped.
  • the component will include a line of primers of rupture in coincidence with the corresponding portion of the line of primers for rupture of the wall against which this flap is glued.
  • the American box 1 in corrugated cardboard, which is there represented, consists of two parts 2 and 3, separable by tearing a strip 4 of primers rupture or weakened area, or by tearing of a plastic wire or strip incorporated in the corrugated cardboard.
  • the American body 1 comprises, in the usual manner, two longitudinal walls 5 and 6 and two transverse walls 7 and 8 hinged together by parallel fold lines, while the bottom and the upper part of the body are constituted by flaps, 5 a -5 b , 6 a -6 b , 7 a -7 b , 8 a -8 b , adjoining the associated walls, 5, 6, 7 and 8, by fold lines perpendicular to the previous ones.
  • a partition 9 is arranged parallel to the longitudinal walls 5, 6, at equal distance from them.
  • Two sections 10 and 11, adjoining the partition 9 by fold lines perpendicular to the bottom, are applied and glued respectively against the walls 7 and 8, on either side of the partition 9.
  • the flap 11 is adjacent to the partition 6 by a fold line perpendicular to the bottom, the assembly being thus made from a single blank of corrugated cardboard, as we seen in Figure 5, but the partition 9 and the flaps 10 and 11 attendants might as well be independent of the American fund and be made integral of it by bonding of the shutters against the associated walls.
  • the flaps 10 and 11 also include primers for breaking lines 4 a , 4 b , which are superimposed on the portions of line 4 of the walls 7 and 8 against which they are glued, so as to allow the separation of the parts. 2 and 3 of the American box, by tearing these lines of breaking points.
  • the partition 9 has a height H relative to the bottom greater than the height h 1 of the parallel portions of the walls 5 and 6 of the part 2 and the maximum height h 2 of the walls 7 and 8, so that after separation of the parts 2 and 3, this partition 9 projects above all of the walls.
  • part 2 thus forms portable packaging, which can be displayed on points of sale with the objects it contains and be easily handled by potential buyers.
  • these intermediate partitions may be constituted, in a manner known per se, either by parts of the walls 5, 6, folded inwards of the packaging around perpendicular fold lines basically, either by independent elements, comprising notches perpendicular to the bottom and engaged in corresponding notches of the partition 9, in the manner "braces" known in the art.
  • the American fund will possibly also include a retractable handle handling of a type known per se, arranged in one of its side walls.
  • Figure 6 in which the bodies shown in Figure 5 keep the same reference numbers assigned the index 'represents a blank in every respect identical to that of Figure 5, except that the flaps 5' a , 6 ' a , 7' a and 8 ' a intended to form the bottom have a shape allowing a semi-automatic assembly.
  • Figure 7 in which the organs already described with reference to Figure 5 are designated by same reference figures assigned to the index ", represents a blank in every point identical to that of this FIG. 5, but in which the line of breaking primers 4 " is straight and includes a removable plastic wire, while the 10 "and 11" flaps are pre-cut to the shape desired.
