Display package

Abstract

A display package which has a box provided with a foldable lid which is joined articulatedly to the upper edge of a functional wall of the lateral walls. The lid has at least one fold line, parallel to the upper edge, which determines a first area of the lid provided with a perpendicular flange which, in the closed position thereof, partially covers the laterals of the box externally; and in that in the assembled position of the display package, the fold line is applied on the lower edge of the functional wall, thereby allowing the cited first area of the lid to be applied against the bottom of the box, folded around the fold line, the edges of the flange forming a stable support for the box uncovered in the manner of a display.

Description

TECHNICAL AREA OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a display package, which allows products to be transported and to display them for the consumption thereof.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Packages for the transport of products to be displayed at a point of sale are known, such as for examples cardboard boxes. These packages have the drawback that upon arriving at the point of sale, an operator must, after opening the package, place the products for the displaying thereof, normally on shelves set up at the point of sale. These packages require the operator to manipulate the transported products in order to place them and also require free shelves to be provided at the point of sale, which not only involves having to invest the time of the operator, but also requires that the point of sale has free shelves.[0003]It is therefore an object of the present invention to make known a package which allows the transport of products and which does not require shelving at the poin...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0005]In essence, the display package is characterized in that the lid comprises at least one fold line, parallel to said upper edge, which determines a first area of the lid provided with a perpendicular flange which, in the closed position thereof, partially covers the laterals of the box externally; and in that in the assembled position of the display package, the fold line is applied on the lower edge of the functional wall, thereby allowing the cited first area of the lid to be applied against the bottom of the box, folded around said fold line, the edges of the flange forming a stable support for the box uncovered in the manner of a display. Advantageously the display package allows the products to be transported in the interior of the box when the lid covers the box and that this same lid, upon being opened, can support the box so that the box adopts a stable position upon the bottom of the box being supported on the first area of the lid, since it is provided with flanges, it allows the box to be stable on the floor and it can be used in the manner of a display for the products which it contains. Naturally, the form of the flanges of the first area of the lid determine the position and angle which the box supported in the assembled position adopts.

[0007]It is also made known that the lid also comprises an intermediate fold line between the upper edge of the functional wall and the fold line, parallel to both, which determines, at one intermediate fold line side, a second intermediate area of the lid and, at the other intermediate fold line side, a third lid area adjacent to the upper edge, the second and third areas of the lid and the functional wall in the assembled position of the display package configuring a triangular foot section, with the edges of the flanges coplanar with the second area of the lid, said second area of the lid forming a support plane of the box, thereby allowing a stable support of the box assembled in the manner of a display to be formed which prevents the box being able swing or fall.

[0008]It is also made known that the first area, the second area and the third area of the lid cover the box in the closed position, without requiring additional closing element of the box.

[0009]It is also made known that the flange of the lid has lateral sections in the form of a trapezoid, one of the sides of the trapezoid being the inclined edge which determines the inclination of the box in the assembled position. Preferably, said trapezoid can be a rectangular trapezoid such that the flange can surround the first area of the lid, thereby allowing it not only to reinforce the support of the box in the open position, but also reinforce the fit of the lid on the box in the closed position. Naturally, it is also envisaged that the lid only has lateral flanges, although the support of the package in the assembled position thereof will not be as stable.

[0010]It is also made known that, in the closed position, the package is a parallelepiped such that it allows the easy storage and stacking thereof. This parallelepiped is preferably a cuboid or prism with a square or rectangular base, thereby allowing both the stacking thereof and optimizing the space in which they can be placed in the manner of a mosaic, thereby allowing the transport thereof in larger boxes or containers. Naturally, other parallelepipeds are also considered, such as prisms with a pentagonal, hexagonal or octagonal base, amongst others.

[0015]It is also made known that the display package is manufactured in cardboard, allowing the preparation thereof by cutting and folding cardboard. Advantageously, the display package can be formed from a single sheet of cardboard cut and folded conveniently.

Problems solved by technology

These packages have the drawback that upon arriving at the point of sale, an operator must, after opening the package, place the products for the displaying thereof, normally on shelves set up at the point of sale.
