Description

Egg-cup.

Object of the invention

The present invention aims at a egg cup that is formed from a single cardboard sheet or similar material.

Due to its special configuration, the egg cup it presents essentially circular housings formed in oblique sections with respect to the direction of insertion of the eggs, which guarantees their fixation within the egg-cup.

Likewise, the egg cup also presents a closing element that allows to open and close the egg cup so many times as necessary.

Background of the invention

They are well known in the state of technique the cartons to store eggs protecting them against breaks

At first the egg cups were constituted as cardboard bases provided with a plurality of cavities in which the eggs were arranged, to later be provided with cover.

Later, these egg cups were provided with a wrap as a seal, as described in the Model of Utility U9002813. This wrap easily separates from the egg cup during the transport of it, bringing the content of it, that is, eggs, can deteriorate or to break.

Likewise, the egg cups are also known that they are shaped by molded paper pulp, so it is necessary the previous manufacture of a mold for the subsequent manufacture of the egg cup, with the increase in costs associated with mold.

All these inconveniences are overcome by the egg cup of the present invention which is now proceeded to describe.

Description of the invention

The present invention relates to an egg cup which is formed from a single sheet of cardboard or material Similary.

The cardboard sheet has some sections essentially rectangular that are provided internally with one or several closed folding lines whose interior space is crossed by some cut lines defining each of the Accommodations for an egg.

The rectangular sections where the housings are adjacent on the cardboard sheet, defining oblique walls in the egg shaping two to two symmetrical about the common folding line to each Two of these sections.

Next to the rectangular sections where  the accommodations are defined other sections are arranged that define the outer faces of the egg cup, those that form the base and the lid once formed.

One of these faces has a cut line not straight that constitutes a closing element when inserted into another cut line present on the antagonistic face during shaped, to the face that presents the closing element.

Lateral to the outer faces of the egg cup, except for those that have cut lines for carry out the closure of the same, there are some armed flaps of the egg cup together with some fixing flaps of the sections rectangular where the housings are defined for the eggs

These rectangular sections, once formed the egg cup, are arranged both inside the faces laterals that make up the base as inside the faces sides that make up the lid of the egg cup so that it allows accommodate each of the eggs in the conjunction of accommodation defined between said rectangular sections.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the foregoing, the The present invention relates to an egg cup that conforms to from a single sheet (1) of cardboard or similar material, such as seen in Figure 1.

The cardboard sheet has four sections (1.1)  essentially rectangular that are provided internally with several closed lines (1.1.1) oval folding, which partially they are die cut by first lines (1.1.2) cutting in alternate sections with line (1.1.1) of folded, which are crossed inside by four cutting lines (1.1.3) that start from the interior space of the line  closed (1.1.1) and go to it, defining each of the accommodation for an egg (2).

The rectangular sections (1.1) where they are defined the housings are adjacent on the cardboard sheet and separated by fold lines (1.2), defining in the forming two to two symmetrical oblique walls of the egg cup with respect to the folding line (1.2) common to each of said sections, such as seen in Figure 2.

Following the sections (1.1.1) rectangular where the housings are defined are located arranged six sections defining the outer faces (1.3) of the egg cup, those that form the base and the lid once conformed

One of these faces (1.3.1) has a line (1.3.1.1) of non-straight cut constituting an element (1.3.1.2) of closing when inserted in another line (1.3.2.1) of cut present in the face (1.3.2) antagonist during face shaping (1.3.1) which presents the closing element (1.3.1.2).

Lateral to the faces (1.3.3, 1.3.4) outside of the egg cup that does not have the lines (1.3.1.1, 1.3.2.1) of cut to carry out the closing of the same, that is are included between the faces (1.3.1, 1.3.2) that present the cutting lines (1.3.1.1, 1.3.2.1), there are some Egg flaps, located on two sides (1.3.3) exterior and fixing flaps of the sections (1.1) Rectangles where the egg housings are defined (2).

The fixing flaps comprise a first rectangular section (1.3.4.1) followed by a section (1.3.4.2) trapecial, which in turn follows a section (1.3.4.3) terminal. This section (1.3.4.3) terminal is inserted in some incoming (1.1.4) laterals defined in the rectangular sections (1.1) where they define the accommodations to conform the egg cup, while the oblique sides of the section (1.3.4.2) trapecial support on the cited rectangular sections (1.1) to establish its disposition oblique

Arming flaps have a first section (1.3.3.1) rectangular followed by a second (1.3.3.2) section, where the first section (1.3.3.1) rectangular faces the first section (1.3.4.1) rectangular of a fixing flap and the second section (1.3.3.2) is overlapped with the faces (1.3.1, 1.3.2) that present the cutting lines (1.3.1.1, 1.3.2.1) intended to carry out the Egg cup closure.

On the opposite side of the sections (1.1) rectangular where the outer faces (1.3) are established, there is a section (1.4) of closure that is inserted between one of the outer faces (1.3.1) presenting the cutting lines (1.3.1.1) and one of the outer faces (1.3.4) of the egg cup that they do not present the lines (1.3.1.1, 1.3.2.1) of cut in order to carry out the central assembly of the egg cup.

Thus shaped, the egg cup presents a unique row of eggs (2), being half a dozen, which avoids efforts of torque due to the weight of the eggs (2).

They do not alter the essentiality of this invention variations in materials, shape, size and arrangement of component elements, described in a non-limiting manner, sufficient this one to proceed to its reproduction by an expert.
