Definitions

• Packaging box with a crown Packaging box with a crown.
• the present invention relates to a packaging box or tray, in particular for food products, of the type comprising a closed crown provided with at least two opposite transverse windows, a thermoformed bottom and a thermoformed cover detachably mounted on the bottom.
• Packaging boxes in particular but not exclusively made of transparent plastic, are experiencing increasing success in the food sector due to the moderate cost allowed by thermoforming of synthetic material. Indeed, the development of sales in supermarkets, but also of fast food, requires economical, hygienic packaging, which reveals the content.
• the present invention therefore aims to provide a new packaging of the type indicated in the introduction which does not have the drawbacks of known packaging.
• the packaging according to the present invention must be of economical manufacture, use and .1 easy re-use and must not present a risk of pollution of the content.
• the packaging box according to the invention is characterized in that the bottom or the cover has a peripheral opening provided with a projecting outward return with which the peripheral edge of the cover or bottom cooperates respectively.
• the crown is arranged along the external wall of the part, bottom or cover, provided with said return, abutted against said return, said crown being locked in position by means of locking members cooperating with said crown.
• the packaging box according to the invention has all the advantages of presentation, use and reuse of a conventional box such as a tray, while benefiting from a decorative crown and / or marking locked to the outside without risk of pollution of the contents.
• the locking members cooperate with the windows of the crown.
• the return is secured to the bottom, an edge of each of the opposite windows of the crown has a folding tongue cooperating with a locking means.
• said locking means is constituted by a clipping cutout formed in the cover.
• said locking means comprises a first member formed at the free end of a tongue complementary to a second member formed at the free end of the other tongue.
• the locking members comprise at least one tongue formed in a flap of the part not including the return and cooperating with the upper edge of a window of the crowned.
• said tongue cooperates with a notch formed in the peripheral wall of the part comprising the return, in the vicinity of the upper edge of a window adjacent to said return.
• the crown comprises at least two through holes, distinct from the windows, formed in the vicinity of the edge of the crown abutting against the return of the part, bottom or cover, and through each of which engages a locking member of said piece, bottom or cover, said locking member being positioned in the external wall of the piece under said return, the rim of the other piece, cover or bottom, having an edge d 'snap under the free end of the return of the bottom or cover.
• said locking members consist of bosses, projecting from the external wall of the part, bottom or cover, outwards, said latching edge of the other part , cover or bottom, constituting the complementary locking members.
• FIG. 1 is a schematic exploded perspective view before assembly of a tray according to an exemplary embodiment
• FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic view in cross section of part of the container of FIG. 1,
• FIG. 3 is similar to FIG. 1, for a variant of a packaging box,
• FIG. 4 is similar to FIG. 2, for the variant of FIG. 3,
• FIG. 5 is similar to FIG. 1, for a variant of a packaging box, and
• FIG. 6 is similar to FIG. 2, for the variant of FIG. 5.
• FIGS. 1 and 2 The box is constituted by a bottom 1 on which a cover closes 2.
• the bottom 1 has a return 3 projecting outwards with which a flange 4 of the cover cooperates. 1 for closing the box thus forming what is known as a tray.
• the parts, bottom 1 and cover 2 are made of thermoformed, transparent, translucent or opaque plastic.
• a crown 5, comprising at least two opposite windows 6, is arranged around the outer wall of the bottom 1, abutting against the inside of the return 3.
• the crown 5 can be made of cardboard or rigid synthetic material .
• each tongue 7 is clipped, after folding down (FIG. 2), in a clipping notch 8 formed in the cover 2.
• the free end of the tongue 7 can be profiled, for example in the form of a double hook, to be locked in the notch 8.
• the ends of the tongues are shaped, for example in the form of a hook, to constitute additional locking means.
• the part 1, which forms the bottom in the example shown, is similar to the bottom 1 of Figures 1 and 2 but also has, in its side walls 9 adjacent to the windows 6 of the crown 5, at least one notch 10 adjacent to the upper edge of the corresponding window 6.
• the part 2 forming, in the example shown, the cover, is provided with two flaps 11 intended to be partially folded against a wall 9 of the part 1.
• the flaps 11 comprise at least one tongue 12 cooperating with the notch 10 in trapping the crown 5 through the window 6.
• the crown 5 does not, in this case, have folding tabs.
• the tongue 12 which could in this case consist of a fold of the corresponding flap 11, is arranged to be slid under the upper edge of the window 6.
• the crown 5 is arranged around the outer wall of the bottom 1, abutting against the inside of the return 3.
• This ring 5 has, through holes 13 separate from windows 6 and formed in the vicinity of the edge of the ring 5 abutting inside the return 3, preferably on either side of each window 6 in the vicinity of a lateral edge of said window 6.
• locking members such as bosses 14, projecting towards the return 3 so as to engage through the orifices 13 of the crown 5 when the latter is setup.
• the cover 2 has on its rim 4 a snap-in edge 15 under the free end of the return 3 of the bottom 1.
• the crown 5 can be made of cardboard or rigid synthetic material.
• the crown 5 has a shape complementary to that of the peripheral wall of the part 1 around which it is housed.
• the part 1 has, due to the thermoforming manufacturing process, at least one slightly frustoconical shape so that the crown 5 is then tightly applied against the peripheral wall of this part 1.
