Definitions

  • the object of this invention is a self-assembling tray, understanding by "tray” a prismatic configuration open at the top, that is, a box without a top closure.
  • This self-assembling tray can be erected directly from a single folded sheet, without having to perform any additional operation.
  • the present invention is characterized by the special configuration and design of the die-cut, cut and scored sheet which forms the tray object of the invention, such that the sheet is provided folded and optionally with a gluing at the central part of the base and it is possible to erect the tray just by pulling conveniently from the ends of the box in order to match the handles.
  • the present invention belongs to the field of boxes and trays made of cardboard, starting from a die-cut and cut sheet, and preferably among self-assembling boxes.
  • the state of the art shows many cardboard boxes formed from die-cut and cut cardboard sheets, all of them having the feature that once the sheet is cut, folding and a subsequent gluing are required to ensure structural strength and stability.
  • cartons are provided flat in order to optimize transport, and they are erected to form its container structure at the time of filling.
  • This assembly can be done manually, which takes some handling time, or by any specialized machine, adapted to the design of the box.
  • a self-assembling tray according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from US 5 060 850 .
  • the object of the invention is to ease the formation of the boxes, so they can be manually erected with a minimum handling time and as ergonomically as possible.
  • the object of the invention is a self-assembling tray formed from a die-cut and cut cardboard sheet and on which score lines have been made in order to assist subsequent folding of its panels during assembly according to claim 1.
  • the starting sheet for the formation of the box could have a central gluing at the base, which could be done through one or several gluing points, preferably one.
  • the sheet used to form the tray has an essentially rectangular configuration divided into panels separated by score lines forming a three-by-three matrix. That is, the sheet has three rows of panels, each having one panel, where each panel has a different function.
  • Panels forming the bottom of the box are in the central row in the horizontal direction, looking at the sheet as seen in Figure 1 , while upper and lower rows are identical, and each of them having a central panel forming one of the front walls of the box, while the two end panels of each row are intended to form the side walls of the box, i.e. the sides on which handles are arranged.
  • the side walls are formed with two panels, one from the upper row and the opposing panel from the lower row, which overlap.
  • Each of these panels has a cutting and a score line in an oblong form. By cutting partially along the score lines, an oblong aperture is formed, which will serve as a handle. Also as a result of the partial cutting a flap is formed.
  • the oblong apertures also match. When the flaps are passed through the apertures, the result is that one of the panels is held by the other, thus ensuring structural stability of the tray.
  • the panels playing an important role are the end panels in the intermediate row, which have a triangular configuration at their upper and lower part, where one of the sides of the triangular configuration is a score line separating the panels with handles from these panels forming the bottom, another side is free of connections to another part of the panel and the third is a score line which allows turning and pivoting of the panels with handle.
  • these panels forming the bottom can have a folding line at the line separating the end panels from the central panel, in case they are manually erected, or optionally they are provided with a gluing surface, which is provided on the overlapping part of the central area of the opposite panels from the central row, when the opposite panels are provided on the central panel, being glued through one or several gluing points along the overlapping surface, such that the bottom of the packaging is double.
  • a packaging open at the top is obtained, which has a minimum processing during production, obtained from a single sheet which can be printed, die-cut and glued, which may optionally have a central gluing area at the base, all this being done in a single specific machine.
  • ergonomics in assembly and its production cost come together since the machine performs every operation in a single process.
  • the packaging has a double bottom, resulting in a greater load capacity of the packaging without the bottom of the box collapsing.
  • Figure 1 the initial die-cut, cut and scored sheet can be seen. This sheet is the starting point towards the arrangement shown in Figure 3 , from which a tray as the one shown in Figure 2 can be self-assembled.
  • the sheet has an essentially rectangular configuration, divided into panels, adopting a three-by-three matrix configuration, having an upper row of three panels, aligned, followed by an intermediate row, of three panels as well, and finally a lower row of three panels, their connecting sides having the same dimensions.
  • the sheet On its intermediate row, the sheet has a central panel (1) and two end panels (2) at each side of the central panel (1), these three panels forming the bottom of the box.
  • the central panel (1) is connected to front panels (3) and (6) and to end panels (2) by a folding line (1.1).
  • Panels (3) and (6) form the front panels of the tray, or front walls, while the panels with handle (4), (5), (7) and (8) are intended to form the side walls containing the handles.
  • Each of the panels with handle (4), (5), (7) and (8) has:
  • the panels (2) at the ends of the central row and which form the bottom together with central panel (1), have a triangular configuration at their upper and lower part at their junction with the panels with handle, and a central area (2.3) polygonal in shape.
  • the upper triangular configuration of panels (2) has a side which is the folding line (4.1) or (5.1), another side which is a folding line (2.1) and which starts from the bottom panel's apex (1), at which apex there is a convergence of folding lines (5.1) with (1.2) or (4.1) with (1.2), and then converges with the other side (2.4), this other side (2.4) starting from the free end of folding line (4.1) or (5.1).
  • the lower triangular configuration of panels (2) has a side which is the folding line (7.1) or (8.1), another side which is a folding line (2.2) and which starts from the bottom panel's apex (1), at which apex there is a convergence of folding lines (7.1) with (1.2) or (8.1) with (1.2), and then converges with the other side (2.4), this other side (2.4) starting from the free end of folding line (7.1) or (8.1) respectively.
  • Figure 3 illustrates the sheet ready for its subsequent formation, for which purpose the end panels from each row, that is the two panels (2) and panels (4), (5), (7) and (8) are refolded over central panels (1), (3) and (6), and the overlapping surface of the central area (2.3) from panels (2) can be glued, with one or several gluing points to be applied preferably on the overlapping area of the central area (2.3).
  • the self-assembly of the tray can be started by pulling panels (4), (5), (7) and (8), by matching their handles, for which purpose handles from said panels must be separated at a distance "D" from the respective folding line with side panel (3) or (6) so that such a distance "D” is half the height "H” of panels (2).
  • the other panel flap is passed through the oblong opening of one of the overlapping panels, and this serves as an additional means of union and reinforcement of said panels, as shown in Figure 6 .
