Benefits of technology

[0009] The container can thus guarantee an effective seal preventing extraneous objects and impurities from contaminating the inside of the container.

Problems solved by technology

Once the flaps are broken, the box cannot be re-closed, with the risk and nuisance that any unused product inside the box may fall out when the box is subsequently handled, and that extraneous material may contaminate the product inside it.

Embodiment Construction

[0021] With reference to the accompanying drawings, the numeral 1 denotes in its entirety a container according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, being in particular of the type known in the trade as “flip-top” container. The container (FIG. 1) comprises a blank made from a sheet of laminar material, preferably cardboard or card, where fold lines and creases define a front panel 2 and a rear panel 3, both substantially rectangular in shape, as well as a first side panel 4 and a second side panel 5, also substantially rectangular in shape. Said panels are alternately arranged and connected along parallel edges by transversal creases 6, 7, 8. The first side panel 4 extends laterally to define a vertical tab 9 that can be connected to the front panel 2 along one edge to form a substantially box-shaped structure.

[0022] The front panel 2 and the rear panel 3 extend downwardly to define longitudinal flaps 10, 11, whilst the first and second side panels 4,5 extend downwardly to ...

Abstract

A lidded container, in particular of the type with a flip-top lid, comprises a blank made from a sheet of laminar material where fold lines and creases define a front panel (2), a rear panel (3), a first side panel (4) and a second side panel (5) that together form a substantially box-shaped structure closed at the bottom. The rear panel has extending upwards from the top of it a flap (15) equipped with a front overlap and side tucks (17, 18) that can be folded and attached to the front overlap to form a lid. The tucks present respective tabs (19, 20) lying inside the lid on the front overlap. The front panel has extending upwards from it a lip (27) that engages with the tabs on the tucks when the lid is snap closed over the front panel.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a container, in particular, a container for food products. BACKGROUND ART [0002] Known containers or boxes for pasta or similar products normally consist of a box-shaped body made from a carton blank where fold lines and creases define a front panel, a rear panel and two side panels that together form a box-like structure closed at the top and at the bottom by corresponding flaps which are glued to each other at appropriate points. To gain access to the pasta inside a prismatic box of this kind, it is necessary to break the upper flaps forming the top panel of the box. Once the flaps are broken, the box cannot be re-closed, with the risk and nuisance that any unused product inside the box may fall out when the box is subsequently handled, and that extraneous material may contaminate the product inside it. [0003] Prior art containers include containers of the flip top type where the lid can be snap closed and which are made from...
