| (54) | Box-container for prepared foodstuffs |
| (57) Box-container for prepared foodstuffs that consists of two larger rectangular pieces
(1) and (2) and of other smaller ones (3), being arranged consecutively, where the
piece (2) has an internal flap (5) for closing the assembly. The pieces (2) and (3),
each have prolongations (2.1} and (3.1) that serve for closing the sides. The piece
(1) has a perforation (6) in form of an irregular half moon, while on the handle (1)
which the piece (1) includes, another perforation (8) is implemented in the form of
a wide curved transversal slot, having a fluke (7) that is a prolongation of the upper
piece (1), the handle (4) serving either as such or as a means of closing over the
larger extension (2.1). |
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a box - container for prepared foodstuffs, of among the different packaging for prepared foodstuff products.
[0002] This invention is characterised in a special construction of the regular rectangular prismatic box - container, in two pairs of larger and smaller rectangular pieces, arranged consecutively and joined with a closing flap, extension of one of the larger bases, while other extensions orthogonal to this, from each of the other opposing outer smaller faces, by overlapping, are those that determine the closing of the shorter sides in this prismatic piece.
[0003] Likewise there are two perforations in irregular half moon form on the upper base and the upper flap thereof has a curved slot that determines a fluke and a means of hanging the present box - container.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0004] Cardboard boxes of laminar origin have been widely employed for decades, especially in the foodstuffs sector, for bulk or prepared products, as well as among these for individual items or helpings.
[0005] The applicant is unaware of the existence of boxes - containers on the market having the characteristics of that which is described below.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The present invention relates to a box - container for prepared foodstuffs, of among all those different closed cardboard containers that contain any type of prepared foodstuff products.
[0007] This invention is characterised in a special construction of the box - container, in regular rectangular prismatic form, based on two pairs of larger and smaller rectangular pieces, the alternate ones of identical size and all of them arranged consecutively.
[0008] Its highly elongated tubular form of rectangular section is closed by means of an internal flap, constituted as an extension of the lateral rims of one of the larger bases, specifically the free one.
[0009] Other extensions orthogonal to this flap, of all and each of the other smaller faces of both double pairs of rectangular pieces and that come located on opposing extremities close the shorter sides of this prismatic piece, by consecutive overlapping of the larger prolongations over both smaller prolongations.
[0010] Likewise there are two consecutive perforations, of the upper base of the prism in irregular half moon form and of body extended on the longitudinal axis and the other perforation, incorporated in the upper flap of this upper base that appears in the form of a wide curved transversal slot, thickening toward its extremities and that determines, on one hand, a fluke that is constituted in upper prolongation of this upper base and, on the other, a means of hanging the present box - container, in handle form.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0011] The present descriptive specification is completed with a set of drawings, illustrating the preferred embodiment of the invention and in no way restrictive.
Figure 1 is a sheet, according to the object of the invention, after stamping, slotting, perforating and punching.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the box - container once completed and without having received the product internally.
PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
[0012] In the light of the foregoing exposition, the present invention relates to a box - container for prepared foodstuffs, of among the closed cardboard types in regular rectangular prismatic form, characterised in having two pairs of larger rectangular pieces (1) and (2) and other two smaller pieces (3), the alternate ones of identical size and all of them arranged consecutively, the piece (2) having an internal flap (5) for lateral closing of the sheet, in rectangular tube form, while other extensions (2.1), orthogonal to this flap (5), are shown located on opposite extremities and begin the closing of the shorter sides of this prismatic piece, by consecutive overlapping of the larger extensions (2.1), over the smaller prolongations (3.1) of the smaller pieces (3).
[0013] A perforation (6) is provided in the form of an irregular half moon and of body extended on the longitudinal axis of the upper piece (1) of the prism and another perforation (8) is incorporated in the upper extension of this upper piece (1), in form of a wide curved transversal slot, of wider extremities and which determines a fluke (7), upper prolongation of the upper piece (1) and a handle (4) of alternative use, as an upper closing over the other larger extension (2.1) or for hanging the box - container in a display unit.
1. - Box - container for prepared foodstuffs, of among the closed cardboard type and
in regular rectangular prismatic form, characterised in having two pairs of rectangular pieces, the larger ones being (1) and (2) and the
other smaller one (3), the alternate ones of identical size and all of them arranged
consecutively, the piece (2) having an internal flap (5) that closes the sheet laterally
in a rectangular tube, while other extensions (2.1), orthoqonal to this flap (5),
are shown located on opposing extremities and begin the closing of the shorter sides
of this prismatic piece, by consecutive overlapping of the larger extensions (2.1),
over the smaller prolongations (3.1) of the smaller pieces (3), while a perforation
(6) is provided in form of an irregular half moon and of body extended on the longitudinal
axis of the upper piece (1) of the prism and another perforation (8) is incorporated
in the upper extension of this upper piece (1), in form of a wide curved transversal
slot, of wider extremities and which determines a fluke (7), upper prolongation of
the upper piece (1) and a handle (4) of alternative use, as an upper closing over
the other larger extension (2.1) or for hanging the box - container in a display unit.
