Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container according to the preamble to Claim 1.
  • Containers of this type are currently used, for example, for packaging food products such as confectionery products, for example, sweets, chocolates, pralines, etc.
  • the products are protected and isolated from the exterior by a bag (or envelope) of sheet material which is usually sealed in an airtight manner after it has been filled with a certain quantity of the product.
  • a bag or envelope
  • the outer part of the container referred to below for brevity as the "card packet" is intended, on the one hand, to support the bag in which the products are disposed and, on the other hand, to render the appearance of the container generally more pleasing, particularly as regards the possibility of applying decorations, wording, etc. thereto.
  • card packet is generally intended to indicate any type of wrapper formed from an intermediate element of laminar material such as card which, after initial operations for cutting the outlines of the parts, punching the regions which are to be folded or removed, pre-folding regions which are to form folds, etc., is kept in a flattened condition and is then erected or extended to its final position by means of a series of manipulations which, typically, are folding operations.
  • packets of this type are the card boxes or cases used for packaging sweets, chocolates, pralines, etc.
  • containers of the type specified above constituted by the bag and the packet, are produced by the separate manufacture of the bag, on the one hand, and of the card packet, on the other.
  • the card packet is then erected to its condition of use and the bag is subsequently inserted therein, before or after receiving the product inside it.
  • the closure of the bag does not necessarily also involve the closure of the card packet adjacent the mouth of the bag.
  • the card packet in many cases (for example, when the card packet takes the form of a kind of hamper or basket in which the bag is disposed with the products inside it) it is desirable for the card packet to have two separate edges spaced apart adjacent the closure region of the bag.
  • the problem of the handling of the bag arises, particularly when the contents are delicate and therefore susceptible to damage during insertion in the card packet.
  • the packet must be placed and kept in a precise position during the insertion of the bag. This applies particularly when the bag with the products inside it and the surrounding card packet are required to adopt precisely determined relative positions in the final package, for example, because it is desired to ensure that printing or a design applied to the bag appears in an opening or window in the card packet.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a solution which can overcome the problems and the disadvantages indicated above.
  • a container can be used, for example, for packaging food products such as confectionery products, for example, sweets, chocolates, pralines, etc.
  • the container according to the invention is composed essentially of two parts, that is:
  • the card packet 3 is constituted essentially by a kind of card box which is intended, in the erected condition of use, ( Figure 3) to take up a parallelepipedal shape so as to assume, as a whole, an appearance approximately comparable to that of a basket.
  • the card packet 3 is made (according to widely known criteria) from laminar material such as card.
  • the packet 3 comprises two rectangular or square larger side surfaces 4 with central holes or windows 5 produced by cutting of the laminar material forming the packet.
  • the larger side faces 4 have profiled, apex-like appendages 6 which may either perform a decorative function or may be used as handles to support the container 1.
  • the larger side faces 4 of the packet 3 are connected to one another as a general bellows-like structure by two smaller side faces 7 also having respective holes or windows 8.
  • each of the smaller side walls 7 is creased with a central fold line 17 which gives the packet 3 the generally bellows-like structure mentioned.
  • the container can be brought to and/or kept in a generally squashed or flattened configuration (precisely, that to which Figures 1 and 2 relate) in which the principal side surfaces 4 of the packet 3 are quite close together; it will be appreciated from the sectional view of Figure 2 that the term "close together" as used herein indicates, in general, a condition in which they are relatively close together without necessarily implying close proximity or even contact.
  • the smaller side walls 7 are folded in a V-shape along the respective fold lines 17 facing inwardly or, preferably, (as can be seen in Figure 1) outwardly relative to the container 1.
  • the packet 3 can be brought to the extended or erected condition (that shown in Figure 3) by the folding-over of further lower appendages 4a, 7a of the side walls 4 and 7 of the packet 3 towards the interior of the container.
  • This is in order to form a base for the extended packet, generally indicated 9 in Figure 3, as a result of the fitting together of the walls or the application of spots of adhesive.
  • this is achieved according to criteria widely known in the art which do not need to be described herein and which, moreover, are not relevant for the purposes of the implementation of the invention.
  • card packet 3 shown in the drawings is purely an example since the invention applies to containers comprising packets of very varied shapes, nevertheless having at least two faces or sides which open out or move apart during the change from the initial folded condition to the final extended condition, as is the case with the faces 4 in the embodiment described herein.
  • the bag which is usually made of thin, laminar material such as transparent plastics sheet (compatible with foodstuffs, if it is used for packaging food products) has, in the embodiment shown, a generally bellows-like shape with side folds 2a and a lower seal region 10 facing towards the appendages 4a, 7a which are intended to form the base 9 in the packet 3.
  • the bag 2 At the mouth of the packet 3 (that is, adjacent the appendages 6) the bag 2 has corresponding mouth edges 11 which may have profiles identical, or almost identical, to those of the appendages 6 of the packet 3.
  • the bag 2 may be formed separately from the packet 3 and then inserted therein, or may be produced almost simultaneously with the card packet 3.
  • the bag 2 may be formed from a continuous tubular wrapper of transparent plastics material which is inserted in the tubular body of the packet 3 and then undergoes sealing and cutting operations to form the lower closure 10, and a cutting operation to form the edges 11, after it has been inserted in the packet 3. This cutting operation may be carried out by the same elements which cut the edges 6, thus exerting a cutting action on the packet and on the bag simultaneously.
  • a connection is formed between the outer surface of the bag 2 and the packet 3 on the faces 4 which are intended to be opened out or moved apart when the packet is extended.
  • spots of glue are applied according to conventional criteria; for example, by pulling the bag 2 at least slightly out of the packet 3 and depositing the glue on the surface of the bag 2 through the windows 5 and on the portion of the bag which projects from the packet and then sliding the bag slightly relative to the packet until the drops of adhesive 12 are brought to positions facing the faces 4 so as to establish the desired connection.
  • the bag 2 and the packet 3 constitute an intermediate product which can be kept in a compact, flattened condition which, at the same time, is complete since it already comprises all the basic parts of the finished container.
  • the extension movement of the card packet 3 surely brings about a corresponding and precise opening movement of the mouth portion of the bag 2.
  • the bag 2 remains precisely in the position initially attributed to it, both throughout all intermediate handling operations, the operation to fill it with the products and also during the closure of its mouth portions.
  • this operation can be carried out either independently of the closure of the card packet (for example, as a result of the action of heat-sealing jaws which close the mouth edges 11 of the bag 2 without interfering with the edges 6 of the card packet), or simultaneously with the closure of the card packet (for example, as a result of a closure movement of the edges 6 which correspondingly brings the mouth edges 11 of the bag 2 together so that they can be sealed - for example, by heat-sealing or the application of ultrasound).
