Modular cardboard container for objects requiring easy inspection, consisting of a stackable interchangeable hollow part or "tunnel" and and a pull-out drawer

Abstract

A container made of bent cardboard and composed of a rectangular tunnel-shaped part in which a drawer is inserted, the drawer having longitudinal walls glued to their respective inner walls with a trapezoidal recess on the two shorter sides for fitting in complementary flaps present at the two sides of the front and rear inner walls of the drawer. The front wall of the drawer is greater than the span of the tunnel so preventing the drawer from penetrating beyond the rear opening of the tunnel, it being pulled out from the front due to the presence of two apertures making a finger-grip. The front wall forms part of a structure holding together the longitudinal walls of the drawer by two spacer flaps joined to the sides of the front inner wall, pressed against two windowed bands joined perpendicularly to their respective longitudinal walls of the drawer, and matching with the front wall on the inner side.

Problems solved by technology

A problem that arises during retail sales, made in small shops or large stores, is that of being able to make an effective display of the goods for sale while maintaining a certain degree of order when showing them to customers, whether or not followed by a sale.

This order will be correctly established before opening hours, but shortly after will be interfered with during sales work.

For the sales assistant this creates a difficulty in quickly noting which models have been sold and must therefore be replaced, and involves extra work by continually having to put piles of boxes back into their right order.

The kind of footwear boxes with lids at present used cannot solve the problem as, in order to take off the lid and see what is inside any one box, all those above it will have to be moved.
