Abstract
A stackable packaging has corner-reinforcing members, comprising a box provided with a cardboard bottom (1) as well as cardboard side and end panels (4, 7), said end panels (7) of the blank being provided with two four-sided posts for reinforcing the corners of the packaging in the erected condition of the packaging, and a bridge (22) that is parallel to the bottom (1) in the erected condition of the packaging and covers the corner-reinforcing members, said bridge (22) of the blank being connected to two bridge strips (25, 26) that are fixed in the erected condition of the packaging to a side panel (4) as well as to one side (18) of the four sides of the corner-reinforcing member, while another side (21) of each corner-reinforcing member is connected to a related end panel (7), said bottom, panels, bridges and strips being connected to one another or separated from one another by foldlines. According to the invention the other two sides (19, 20) of the corner-reinforcing members are oversized, so that in the erected condition of the packaging they will be arranged by snap action in between the sides (18, 21) of the corner-reinforcing members, which are connected to the end panels (7) and the bridge strips (25, 26).
Description
- The invention relates to a stackable packaging having corner-reinforcing members, comprising a box provided with a cardboard bottom as well as cardboard side and end panels, said end panels of the blank being provided with two four-sided posts for reinforcing the corners of the packaging in the erected condition of the packaging, and a bridge that is parallel to the bottom in the erected condition of the packaging and covers the corner-reinforcing members, said bridge of the blank being connected to two bridge strips that are fixed in the erected condition of the packaging to a side panel as well as to one side of the four sides of the corner-reinforcing member, while another side of each corner-reinforcing member is fixed to a related end panel, said bottom, panels, bridges and strips being connected to one another or separated from one another by foldlines.
- Such packagings should be able to replace the familiar wooden tomato crates, provided they are made of a foldable material adapted to the three-days' stay within a so-called moist cold store with a through-flow cooling system. A more or less obvious material comprises a water-repellent grey cardboard of a density of 900 g/m² that is provided at both sides with a sheet of polyethylene ad 15 g/m² in between layers of paper ad 40 g/m². This material appears to fail to give the box of the above type adequate stability, which is illustrated by the fact that the end panels are not perpendicular to the bottom.
- In applying the invention to packagings of about 38 x 29 x 14 cm, the usual dimensions for packaging roughly 6 kilograms of tomatoes, the packaging should have a compression resistance of at least 490 kg after having stayed for three days within a moist cold store with a through-flow cooling system. The above three days are connected with the weekend, and in this respect 'moist' implies a relative humidity level of around 90% at a temperature of ca. 13°C.
- Packagings meeting the above-mentioned requirements do exist indeed, yet they can only be used in automatic folding machines which are only profitable when used at large market gardens.
- The invention aims to provide a cardboard packaging which is both easy to erect manually and is suitable for packaging tomatoes and similar products, if made of a suitable material. According to the invention this aim is realized by the measure that the other two sides of the corner-reinforcing members are oversized, so that in the erected condition of the packaging they will be arranged by snap action substantially in between the sides of the corner-reinforcing members, which are connected to the end panels and the bridge strips.
- If the bridges are provided with apertures, through which locking cams arranged at the edge of the corner-reinforcing members facing away from the bottom can pass in the erected condition of the packaging, then it can be guaranteed that the contents of the box will be diminished as little as possible by those members. Besides, all sides of the corner-reinforcing members will be arranged at those sections of the packaging which are put under the maximum load.
- If the height of the locking cams suffices for being accomodated in corresponding apertures within the bottom of a superposed packaging, no longer shifts can occur among the superposed packagings, which is of major importance during transport.
- Preferably, the locking cams have an axis of symmetry that coincides with the foldline between the oversized sides of the corner-reinforcing members. Thus, the cams are made rigid.
- If the recesses in at least the bridges are circular-segment-shaped and have semi-circular ends, those apertures would tear in the least possible way.
- The invention will be explained below into detail referring to the drawing, wherein by way of illustration a blank for producing a packaging according to the invention is represented. It is noted that in the description of this blank the term "above" is used, yet what is meant is "above the plane of the drawing". If the term "below" is used, it is just the other way round.
- The represented blank comprises a
bottom 1, which is connected to twoside panels 4 viafoldlines 2 and 3, as well as to twoend panels 7 viafoldlines 5 and 6. Two foldlines 8 are provided in theside panels 4 at an angle of 45°, largely bounding triangular flaps 9 which are to be folded upwards through an angle of 180°, and afoldline 10 extending parallel to thefoldlines 2 and 3 which forms the boundary of a sideedge reinforcing strip 11 that is to be folded through 180° during the production, so that it will be arranged eventually at the inside of the packaging. There are some details concerning the members 8-11 which are of minor significance to the invention, and consequently they will not be discussed in this context. - Instead, details concerning the right end panel will be mentioned; and needless to say, the same would apply to the left end panel.
-
End panel 7 is bounded by both foldline 6 and twovertical foldlines foldlines foldlines 2 and 3 of the bottom. Beyond thevertical foldlines bridge 22 is arranged, the right boundary of which will be arranged adjacent to the vertical centre line of thebottom 1 after having been folded together with theend panel 7 along foldline 6 through 180°. - Bridge 22 also has two
foldlines 23 and 24 which provide a pliable connection to twobridge strips bridge strips 25 eventually being arranged in between and fixed to, for example by means of an adhesive, the outer surface ofside 18 and - after folding - to the inner surface of flap 9. - So far the
sides end wall 7. Yet, after the box has been erected,sides foldline 16 will be arranged nearer to thevertical foldlines sides foldlines - Each of the corner-reinforcing members 18-21 are provided with a
locking cam 27 having a symmetry axis coinciding with thefoldline 16 between theoverdimensioned sides - The
bridges 22 are provided withapertures 28 which are arranged in the angular sections of the bridges which are bounded by thefoldlines 14 and 23, 24. After the packaging has been erected and thesides locking cams 27 project into or through said apertures. They project into them when their height only slightly exceeds the thickness of thebridge 22, and they project through them when they are only a little larger than about twice the thickness of the bridge. In the latter case, they are to be accomodated incorresponding apertures 29 in the four corners of thebottom 1 of a packaging put on top of the bridges. - The
apertures - The above-described packaging can be produced by means of automatic machines. After punching the blank and applying the foldlines into it, at first the sides 21 are fixed (adhered) to
end panels 7, so that they will be adjacent to thesides 18. After that the side-panel-reinforcing strips 11 are folded alongfoldline 10 through 180°, abutting against the upper surface of theside panels 4, and fixed (adhered) to it, and the flaps 9 are folded along foldlines 8 through 180° so that they abut against the lower surface of theside panels 4, and subsequently themembers foldlines 2 and 3 through 180° so as to abut against the upper surface of thebottom 1. - Subsequently the
bridges 22 are folded upwards along the foldlines 14 through 90°, after which thebridge strips foldlines 23 and 24 in such a way that, after the folding of themembers 7, 18-22 through 180°, saidbridge strips sides 18 and the flaps 9 and fixed (adhered) to them. In this procedure thebridges 22 are folded alongfoldlines 30 extending radially through theapertures 28 at an angle of 45°. - Naturally, the corner-reinforcing members could also be formed after the erection of the
side panels 4 yet prior to folding theend panels 7. - When the box is in a folded state, the extremities of the
bridges 22 of the blank are positioned near to the vertical centre line of the blank. - To facilitate the production and erection of the packaging some foldlines are provided with incisions for part of their length. This applies to the foldlines 8 of the illustrated example near the intended lower corners, indicated by 31, as well as to the
foldlines 16, indicated by thebold line sections 32. - Into the
end panels 7apertures 33, which are known per se, are applied in order to allow fingers to grip when handling the packagings. - Within the scope of the claims also other embodiments could be selected than the one illustrated in the drawing.
