Self-assemblable container for generic use and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

The present invention refers to a self-assemblable container, preferably manufactured from ecologic materials such as standard fiberboard, comprising as its main structural elements a bottom, two longitudinal sides and two transverse sides of a basically rectangular shape having cauterized perimetrical faces to prevent moisture penetration into the structural elements that make up the container, thus providing long term structural stiffness to the perimetrical faces of the container's structural elements comparable to that of the fiberboard surface. Each of the main structural elements comprises in one side adjacent to another corresponding main structural element, tensile-resistant flexible tabs or receiving slots, the other corresponding main structural element in said side adjacent to the first main structural element respectively comprising slots or flexible tensile resistant tabs, said main structural elements being assembled together by the insertion of the flexible tabs into the receiving slots. In addition, the container may comprise an antisagging brace, a lid and / or two transverse laths. The invention also refers to a method of manufacturing the structural elements of a self-assemblable container by means of perimetrical laser cutting that by reason of the extremely high cutting temperature causes a reaction of the natural resins contained in the raw material and the resulting perimetrical cauterization.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention belongs to the field of self-assembled universal containers generally used for transporting goods. In particular, the invention relates to an improved container of this type, made of ecological material, capable of containing food products inside and in close contact with them. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing said container. Background technique [0002] In this system of transporting goods made of cardboard boxes or containers, on this point, structural strength and international practice, in addition to non-return conditions and / or ability to come into direct contact with food, resistance to relative humidity and contact with liquids Accessibility is the main factor. [0003] In general, although cardboard boxes made of corrugated or compressed material for transporting goods have the advantage of being transported in a flat or unassembled state to where they are subsequently filled, saving shipping spa...

Problems solved by technology

[0012] Thus, the known prior art exhibits that existing containers made of cardboard or wood fiber, when subjected to the internal pressure of the load of the contents, suffer from compression of the contents or internal displacement of the contents during transport. result in subsequent outward collapse of the side panels (e.g., vertical stacking directly in the case of bulk packaging where the contents of the container subject the side panels of the container to significant forces that would produce the outward collapsing effect described) The contact of the container on the perimeter is reduced) and the main defect of the weakened structure

When said contact is reduced, the load on the shelf becomes unstable, which also reduces the capacity of the container on the lower level and reduces the ability to support the weight of the upper level or row to withstand vertical compression
