Definitions
- the present invention relates to a separator for cardboard boxes, of the type that is formed by sheets that divide the interior space of the box into compartments, which can be produced continuously and which represents a significant saving of material compared to other separators. known.
- separators for folding cardboard boxes which are manufactured continuously by superimposing and gluing a series of cardboard bands and then cutting a suitable length of the assembly; in this way, folded separators are obtained, which at the time of being introduced into the boxes or at the time of unfolding the box for use, are in turn deployed forming the compartments in which the products should be introduced, by Example bottles.
- the main objective of the present invention is to provide separators for collapsible cardboard boxes that can be manufactured continuously and in which the material consumption is lower than in known separators, without damaging the qualities of the separator.
- the cardboard box separator according to the present invention is characterized by the fact that it comprises a plurality of parallel and spaced flat sheets and a plurality of partitions arranged transversely to said flat, parallel and spaced sheets between yes, the length of each flat sheet being substantially equal to one of the dimensions of the box and each partition being arranged between two adjacent flat sheets or between a flat sheet and a wall of the box, and each partition having a flap at each end , each of the flaps being glued to a flat sheet or to the wall of the box.
- This separator has all the advantages of known separators, in particular the possibility of being manufactured continuously with a fully automated process, and also allows a significant saving of material without prejudice to its strength.
- said flat sheets and said partitions have protrusions and recesses in a complementary manner; in this way, and due to the continuous manufacture of the separator, material can be saved.
- the separator is intended to be incorporated folded into a folding type box and stored together with it until the moment of its use, it is envisaged that on two opposite sides it presents partitions joined by one of the flaps to a flat sheet intermediate but with the other free flap, this free flap being intended for your glued to a box wall.
- the folded separator is inserted into a box and the free flaps are glued to the walls of the box, so that when the box is deployed for use the separator is also deployed.
- the separator is intended to be deployed and incorporated into an already open box, it is envisaged that on two opposite sides there will be partitions joined by one of the flaps to an intermediate flat sheet and joined by the other flap to a flat sheet end, the latter being destined to be in contact with a wall of the box.
- the separator is deployed with the help of the end plates and inserted into the open box; the same end plates prevent it from bending again.
- the flat end sheets are of material or thickness different from the intermediate flat sheets, since these sheets do not have the function of protecting the products stored in the box.
- the partitions are glued to the flat sheets with a slight displacement between them, so that the separator is well adjusted to the box, all the compartments being of the same size.
- a separator for cardboard boxes also of the type formed by sheets that divide the interior space of the box into compartments, is characterized by the fact that it comprises a plurality of parallel and spaced flat sheets between yes and a plurality of partitions arranged transversely to said flat sheets, parallel and spaced apart from each other, each partition being arranged between two adjacent flat sheets or between a flat sheet and a wall of the box, and each partition having at least one flap in one end, the flaps being glued to the flat sheets.
- the separator is not subject to the box, but the products themselves, for example bottles, They keep in place.
- This separator is particularly suitable for use in machines of the type called "wrap around", in which the bottles are first placed in the proper arrangement, and then the separator is inserted between them and the box is formed and closed around the assembly.
- some partitions have two flaps, one at each end, and are intended to be disposed between two adjacent sheets, while other partitions have only one flap at one of their ends, and are intended to be arranged between a sheet and the wall. from the box.
- the partitions having a single flap have a width less than that of the partitions having two flaps.
- flat sheets and partitions can have protrusions and recesses in a complementary manner.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a separator according to the present invention, totally deployed in its position of use;
- Figure 2 is a plan view of the separator of Figure 1, partially folded;
- Figure 3 is a view of a detail of a particular embodiment of a separator according to the invention;
- Figures 4a, 4b are schematic drawings illustrating two possible arrangements for a twelve compartment separator;
- Figure 5 is a plan view of a variant embodiment of the separator of the invention.
- the separator of the present invention comprises a series of flat sheets 1 parallel to each other, in number of two in the case represented, which from now on will be referred to herein as longitudinal sheets, only to assign a geometric reference to the separator that facilitates the description.
- a plurality of transverse partitions 2 are associated with the sheets 1, shorter than the sheets i and also parallel to each other, which have flaps 3,3a at their ends for gluing, respectively, to the sheets 1 and to the walls of a box 4 .
- the length of the flat sheets 1 is the same as a box dimension to which the separator will be attached, while the length of each partition 2, not counting the flaps, defines one of the dimensions of each compartment 5; the other dimension of the compartment is defined for the distance between every two partitions.
- the represented separator has essentially square compartments, but simply by varying the dimensions and position of the transverse partitions, compartments could be made with another shape.
- the thickness of the sheets may be any depending on the specific needs of each case.
- the construction arrangement described has several advantages: on the one hand, the material consumption is minimal, since there are no double walls, and at the same time the partitions 2 are solidly fixed to the sheets 1 through the flaps. Another advantage is that the manufacture of separator can be carried out automatically and continuously.
- the separator according to the invention is manufactured with a continuous process analogous to that described in documents ES 9400980 and US-A-3 011 672 cited, to which reference can be made for more details: suffice it to mention
- this procedure consists in supplying cardboard strips of different widths (a band for each flat sheet, and a band for each partition) from a series of reels, superimposing them in suitable reciprocal positions and with the application of an adhesive in the areas that will correspond to the flaps, press the assembly and finally cross-section portions thereof, each of which constitutes a folded separator and ready to be introduced into a box.
- the separator has a series of complementary projections 6 and recesses 7 (see Figure 1): the projections in the form of a beak 6 extend the separator to the appropriate height to prevent the products stored in the compartments 5 from hitting each other at the top, but at the same time saving a complete strip of material.
- the spike shape in some cases prevents the bottle label from bending or tearing at the time of its introduction into the box.
- the complementary shape of the projections and recesses is due to the fact that, in the production of the separator, with a single cross section to which a desired shape can be given, two separators are divided.
- the height of the projections and the depth of the entrances can be any, depending on the product to be stored in the box and the saving of material that is desired. The more pronounced the outgoing and incoming, the greater the material savings.
- the separator described can be introduced, folded and applying lines of adhesive to the flaps 3a, in a cardboard box 4, and stored together with it until the time of use; when unfolding the box, the separator also unfolds automatically.
- the separator can also be stored separately and placed in a box once it is deployed, at the time of use: in this case, to facilitate the deployment of the separator and to prevent it from returning to folding when left inside the box, it is planned to incorporate two additional flat sheets of end 8 (in dashed lines in figure 2), glued to the flaps 3a of the partitions 2 that in the previous case were glued directly to the box .
- the end plates 8 must not have any protective function, so it is not necessary that they have the same characteristics as the intermediate flat sheets 1 or the partitions 2 and can be manufactured from lower quality cardboard or weight, in order to Do not make the product more expensive, or become thinner. In addition, its incorporation does not pose any difficulty in the manufacturing process.
- the partitions 2 are joined to the flat sheets 1 so that they are aligned with each other.
- the separator is aligned only to one side of the box, while on the other side there is a slack, which makes the compartments 5 next to one of the walls are slightly smaller and the compartments 5 next to the opposite wall are slightly larger: this is due to the effect of the thicknesses of the sheets and partitions, which make the dimension of the separator different when it is folded and when deployed.
- Figures 4a, 4b show two different arrangements of the sheets and the partitions, to form a twelve-compartment separator: Figure 4a corresponds to the embodiment represented in the previous figures, and Figure 4b is an equally possible alternative.
- Figure 5 a variant of embodiment, which is also included in the present invention. In this figure, the separator is shown inserted in a box 4 with a dozen bottles B.
- the partitions 2 ' that remain between a sheet 1 and the wall of the box have only one flap 3, with which they adhere to the corresponding sheet, and are shorter than the partitions 2 that are arranged between two sheets . Also the sheets 1 are shorter than in the embodiments described above, and do not touch the walls of the box 4.
- the separator of figure 5 is not fixed to the box: it is used in "wrap around" machines, in which the twelve bottles (or the corresponding number) are first arranged next to each other according to the final arrangement they will have in the box , and then place the separator between them. As the separator is inserted with the bottles already in place, it cannot be folded or moved, without it being necessary to fix it to the box.
- specific embodiments of the separator of the invention have been described and represented, it is clear that all the details may be replaced by technically equivalent ones without leaving the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
- the separator can be manufactured with any number of compartments, depending on the requirements of each specific case, and that for sheets and partitions cardboard or similar materials of any thickness and type can be used. For example, a six-compartment separator can be manufactured with a single flat sheet and four partitions, two on each side of it.
