Description

Background Art

[0001] The present invention generally relates to packaging using cardboard material. Cardboard is a widely used packaging material that is particularly suitable for recycling, particularly in paper recycling streams that can reduce the non-fiber content, for example, to a maximum non-fiber content of 5% by weight, and is therefore particularly environmentally friendly. However, cardboard has limitations compared to other packaging materials, such as plastics, particularly with regard to mechanical characteristics. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010] Mechanically speaking, cardboard is a relatively flexible material, which means that the walls of a container made of cardboard can offer little resistance to bending under external pressure. In some applications where resistance to bending is important, materials other than cardboard can be used. However, materials other than cardboard may not be directly recyclable. Therefore, this material choice leads to certain compromises. The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a cardboard support element structure for a cardboard container, whereby the inclusion of such a support element structure in a cardboard container strengthens the cardboard structure, thereby allowing the use of cardboard in applications that would otherwise be affected by the use of another material, while avoiding compromising recyclability.

[0011] Cardboard container designs can achieve enhanced mechanical characteristics by applying separate three-dimensional pieces. Such three-dimensional pieces can be applied to the lid, for example, by gluing. Gluing can occur before or after the lid is formed. When three-dimensional pieces are glued to flat structures such as blanks at a supplier's location, the three-dimensional nature of the three-dimensional pieces affects stacking, so transportation from the supplier's location can result in lower space utilization, resulting in lower cost-effectiveness. If such gluing were to be performed after transportation from the supplier's location, for example on a manufacturing line, gluing the three-dimensional pieces to the blanks or the inside of the erected lid during manufacturing could increase the complexity of the manufacturing operation and slow down the manufacturing line, thereby affecting the productivity of the manufacturing plant. The cardboard lid including a support element structure according to the present disclosure is unexpectedly found to be a way to form a three-dimensional reinforced structure that reduces or suppresses the negative impact on transportation efficiency or manufacturing line speed at the manufacturing site. Because the cardboard lid including a support element structure according to the present specification can be formed using a folding machine that may already be in place at the manufacturing site, little or no additional capital is required to implement the structure according to the present disclosure at the manufacturing site. In addition, the cardboard cover including the support element structure according to the present disclosure belongs to a single blank, which facilitates the manufacture of such cardboard covers including the support element structure. The cutting of such single blanks can be carried out at the supplier's equipment and then transported to the manufacturing equipment, where the blanks can be erected. In addition, the single blanks can be in the form of flat blanks, which can also facilitate transportation and optimize weight and therefore costs. In addition, the single flat blanks can be partially pre-folded, for example at the supplier's equipment, to further optimize transportation efficiency by reducing the 2D (two-dimensional) footprint or reducing the protrusion of the blanks from a given footprint, while maintaining the flat nature of the blanks, thereby maintaining the stackability of the blanks.

[0012] Can be made by the material identical with the material for box according to the present disclosure according to cardboard lid or blank.Can be made by paper or cardboard material according to blank, lid, box or container of the present disclosure, wherein paper material is for example selected from cardboard, cardboard, the laminate that comprises at least one cardboard or cardboard layer, cellulose pulp material or their mixture.The material that is used to make blank, lid, box or container can comprise other components, such as colorant, preservative, plasticizer, UV stabilizer, oxygen, spices, recycled material and moisture barrier or their mixture.Blank, lid, box or container can comprise the zone of outside or inside printing.Blank, lid, box or container can for example be made by cardboard manufacturing.Suitable cardboard blank, lid, box or container manufacturing method can include but not limited to, with gluing step, folding or their combination, carry out tube forming by flat cardboard or paper sheet.Cardboard blank, lid, box or container are opaque, for example to protect content from the influence of external light. In some examples, the blank, lid, box, or container is at least partially constructed from a paper-based material, and in some specific examples, is constructed entirely from a paper-based material. A paper-based material herein refers to a material comprising paper. Without wishing to be bound by theory, "paper" herein refers to a material made from cellulose-based pulp. In some examples, the paper-based material comprises paper, cardboard, or a mixture thereof, preferably, cardboard comprises paperboard, corrugated fiberboard, or a mixture thereof. The corrugated fiberboard comprises a series of grooves. Each groove can be understood as a channel. The grooves extend parallel to each other, with the groove direction being the direction of travel along each channel. The paper-based material can be a laminate comprising paper, cardboard, or a mixture thereof, preferably, cardboard comprises paperboard, corrugated fiberboard, or a mixture thereof, and at least one other material. In some examples, the at least one other material comprises a plastic material. In some examples, the plastic material comprises polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, polyvinyl alcohol, or a mixture thereof. In some examples, the plastic material comprises a copolymer of ethane and vinyl alcohol, or EVOH. A barrier material can serve as the at least one other material. The barrier material may be biaxially oriented polypropylene, metallized polyethylene terephthalate, or a mixture thereof. The at least one other material may include wax, a cellulosic material, polyvinyl alcohol, silicon dioxide, a casein-based material, or a mixture thereof. In some examples, the paper-based composite comprises a laminate of greater than 50% by weight, preferably greater than 85% by weight, and more preferably greater than 95% by weight of a fiber-based material. In some examples, the barrier material may comprise a plastic material having a thickness between 10 and 40 microns. In some examples, the barrier material may comprise a plastic material having a thickness between 10 and 35 microns. The paper-based material may be a laminate.In some examples, the inner surface of blank, lid, box or container comprises paper, cardboard or their mixture, wherein, in a specific example, cardboard comprises a laminate of cardboard, corrugated fiberboard and polyethylene or their mixture, and in some examples, the outer surface of blank, lid, box or container or their combination comprises at least another material. Alternatively, this at least another material also can be laminated between two paper-based material layers. Do not wish to be bound by theory, this at least another material can serve as a barrier for the leakage liquid absorbed by the paper-based material facing the blank, lid, box or container inboard, to prevent or reduce the contamination flow through the wall of blank, lid, box or container. It has been found that other structures can effectively avoid the leakage of content or protect content from the influence of external fluids, for example, from showering, sink or operating container or lid with wet hands. The pollution of the wall, flap or panel of blank, lid, box or container may be unsightly for the consumer, or can contaminate the storage area. Find that other structures can effectively avoid the detergent product being exposed to outdoor relative humidity.

[0013] Figure 1An exemplary cardboard lid 100 for a container is shown. The cardboard lid 100 includes side panels 101-104 that form lid flaps. In this example, each side panel 101-104 is a rectangular side panel. In this example, four side panels are provided, each forming a corresponding lid flap. In this example, each lid flap is connected to two other lid flaps via a lid corner, each lid corner forming a 90-degree angle. In this example, all of the lid flaps are perpendicular to the same plane. The cardboard lid 100 further includes lid flaps connected to the side panels via a lid flap fold line, two of which form a lid top panel 105. Thus, in this example, the two lid flaps forming the lid top panel are two opposing lid flaps. Such two opposing lid flaps forming the top panel are connected to the long side panels, which in this example include two long side panels and two short side panels. The short side panels are shorter than the long side panels along a first direction. According to the present disclosure, the first direction is a direction perpendicular to the fold line connecting the side panels. In this example, the lid top panel is rectangular. In this example, the lid top panel is perpendicular to each of the lid side wings. Exemplary lid flaps forming the top panel will be shown in more detail in the other figures described herein. It is important to note that, since they are a single blank, the lid flaps are connected to the side panels via lid flap fold lines, as will be discussed in more detail. The flaps should be understood as a piece of cardboard connected to the remaining lid structure. The flaps can be connected to the remaining lid structure via fold lines, with the lid being made from a complete piece of cardboard. The flaps can be connected to the cardboard structure via line segments, such as fold lines. The flaps can also be connected to a portion of the lid by glued parts.

[0014] In this specification, "orthogonal" or "perpendicular" should be understood to mean substantially orthogonal or substantially perpendicular. In some examples, "orthogonal" or "perpendicular" includes an angle less than 120 degrees and greater than 60 degrees. In some examples, "orthogonal" or "perpendicular" includes an angle less than 110 degrees and greater than 70 degrees. In some examples, "orthogonal" or "perpendicular" includes an angle less than 100 degrees and greater than 80 degrees. In some examples, "orthogonal" or "perpendicular" includes an angle less than 95 degrees and greater than 85 degrees.

[0015] Cardboard cover 100 further includes a support element structure 106 that extends away from the top panel and is positioned between the side panels. By "extending away from the top panel," it should be understood that the support element structure includes at least a portion extending away from the top panel, forming a three-dimensional shape with the cardboard material of the support element structure defining some of the boundaries of this three-dimensional shape. In some examples, the support element structure includes a portion that is at least 5 mm apart from the top panel. In some examples, the support element structure includes a portion that is at least 10 mm apart from the top panel. In some examples, the support element structure includes a portion that is at least 15 mm apart from the top panel. In some examples, the cardboard structure includes a portion that is at least 20 mm apart from the base plane. In some examples, the support element structure includes a portion that is at least 30 mm apart from the top panel. In some examples, the support element structure includes a portion that is at least 35 mm apart from the top panel. In some examples, the support element structure includes a portion that is less than 10 cm apart from the top panel, for example, to avoid a cantilevering effect when the support element structure is in a supporting role. In this example, support element structure 106 has a triangular cross-section in a plane perpendicular to top panel 105. In other examples, the support element structure can include a portion of a cylinder or a portion of a prism, such as, for example, a triangular, quadrilateral, or pentagonal prism. Such a prism can be obtained by folding a continuous portion of the support element structure along parallel lines, while the shape of a portion of a cylinder can be obtained by tensioning a single panel of the support element structure. In some examples, the support element structure includes an arcuate shape due to the support element structure being tensioned between other elements, such other elements being part of the cover.

[0016] The support element structure according to the present disclosure is intended to provide mechanical support to cardboard walls, such as cardboard walls of a container or a lid of a container, which bear against the support element if subjected to a force or pressure.

[0017] The illustrated support element structure 106 corresponds to a portion of a prism, more specifically, a portion of a triangular prism when the top panel 105 is included. In this example, the support element structure includes a linear ridge 107 corresponding to an edge of the prism. The ridge 107 is defined by a first side 108 and a second side 109 of the prism. The first side 108 and the second side 109 of the prism each preferably form an angle greater than 15 degrees (-15 degrees, respectively) with the top panel. In this case, the first side 108 of the prism forms an angle of approximately 30 degrees with the top panel. In some examples, the ridge is separated from the top panel by at least 5 mm. In some examples, the ridge is separated from the top panel by at least 10 mm. In some examples, the ridge is separated from the top panel by at least 15 mm. In some examples, the ridge is separated from the top panel by at least 20 mm. In some examples, the ridge is separated from the top panel by at least 30 mm. In some examples, the ridge is separated from the top panel by at least 35 mm. In some examples, the ridge is separated from the top panel by less than 10 cm, for example, to avoid a cantilevering condition when the support element is in a supporting role.

[0018] It should be understood that features of the various examples described herein, such as the number of flaps, flap orientation, number and angles of panels, may be combined to produce alternative examples.

[0019] The cardboard lid 100 is such that the lid flaps, side panels and support element structure are of a single blank.

[0020] Having the lid flaps, side panels and support element structures belonging to a single blank allows limiting the complexity of erecting such a lid, whereby a lid comprising multiple blanks may involve for example additional gluing steps or adjustments between the different independent structures.

[0021] Figure 2AAnother exemplary cardboard cover 200 according to the present description is shown. Cardboard cover 200 includes elements 101-109 as described in the context of cardboard cover 100, with such elements being numbered using the same reference numerals. Cardboard cover 200 further includes a reinforcement flap 104, which includes a reinforcement portion 204. In some examples, at least one of the cover flaps, preferably some of the cover flaps, and most preferably each of the cover flaps, includes a reinforcement panel connected to the respective side panel via a side panel fold line, such as side panel fold line 214, the reinforcement panel being folded back onto the respective side panel, the reinforcement panel being a single blank. In some examples, the cover includes two opposing long side wings parallel to each other and two opposing short side wings parallel to each other, the long side wings are perpendicular to the short side wings, the long side wings are reinforced, and the short side wings are not reinforced or are thinner than the long side wings or include fewer layers than the long side wings, so as to take into account the following facts: the user or consumer may be more likely to apply pressure on the long side wings, and given that the midpoint of the long side wing is farther from the corner of the same long side wing in the first direction than the midpoint of the short side wing is from the corner of the corresponding short side wing, and therefore the long side wings are more likely to undergo deformation.

[0022] The cardboard cover 200 further includes an actuation area 210. In fact, in some examples, at least one of the side flaps includes an actuation area. In this example, the apex of the support element structure, such as ridge 107, is aligned with the actuation area 210. Such an actuation area can allow actuation of a locking member of a container including a cover according to the present disclosure, as will be described in further detail in this disclosure. In a preferred example, both side flaps include such actuation areas, preferably on opposite sides, more preferably on opposite sides of the two long side flaps, so that, in some examples, consumers tend to use a single finger span to actuate both actuation areas simultaneously, whereby the finger span can, in such examples, be adapted to the length of the short side flap in a first direction to span both actuation areas simultaneously.

[0023] Figure 2BAnother exemplary cardboard cover 220 according to the present specification is shown. Cardboard cover 220 includes elements 101-109 as described in the case of cardboard cover 100 and elements 204, 214 and 210 as described in the case of cardboard cover 200, which are numbered using the same reference numerals. Cardboard cover 220 further includes a reinforcement panel 213 connected to the corresponding side panel 103, as well as additional reinforcement panels not visible in this figure that are connected to the corresponding side panels 102 and 101. Cardboard cover 220 is thus such that each of the cover flaps includes a reinforcement panel that is connected to the corresponding side panel via a side panel fold line, the reinforcement panel being folded back onto the corresponding side panel, the reinforcement panel being from a single blank. The cardboard cover 220 further comprises an additional or additional actuation area 210B, with the apex 107 being in line with the actuation area 210B, which in this case is a circular hole in the side panel 102 opposite the side panel 104 comprising the actuation area 210, which in this case also takes the form of a circular hole.

[0024] Figure 3 Another exemplary cardboard cover 300 according to the present disclosure is shown. Cardboard cover 300 includes elements 101-105 as described for cardboard cover 100, with such elements numbered using the same reference numerals. Cover 300 includes a support element structure 306 according to the present disclosure, which is a portion of a cylinder. Support element structure 306 can be formed from a flap 306 connected to side panel 101 via a fold line and tucked between top panel 105 and flap 307 connected to side panel 103 via a fold line. Flap 306 is tensioned into an arched shape to form the support element structure.

[0025] Figure 4 An exemplary cardboard blank 400 is shown for a cardboard cover according to the present disclosure, particularly a cardboard cover similar to the exemplary cardboard cover 300. The cardboard blank 400 includes:

[0026] - four side panels 104, 101, 102, 103, which follow one another in a first direction D1, each side panel being connected to at least one other side panel by a respective side panel fold line perpendicular to the first direction;

[0027] a side flap 401 connected to one of the side panels (in this case the side panel 103) along a fold line perpendicular to the first direction, the side flap 401 being located behind or in front of (in this case behind) the four side panels in the first direction;

[0028] - three cover flaps 404, 402, 307, which follow one another in a first direction, each cover flap being connected to a respective conventional side panel 104, 102, 103 of the four side panels by a respective cover flap fold line parallel to the first direction, the cover flap fold lines being aligned with one another; the four side panels comprising a conventional side panel and a special side panel;

[0029] - A supporting element structure, which includes a supporting element first panel 306, which is connected to a specific side panel 101 through a specific folding line aligned with the cover folding line, and the supporting element structure further includes a supporting element relative panel 307, which is included in the cover folding panel 307 among the three cover folding panels 404, 402, and 307, and the cover folding panel 307 is connected to the relative side panel 103, which is a conventional side panel separated from the specific side panel 101 by a single other conventional side panel 102, and the supporting element structure has a combined length L2A+L2B along a direction D2 perpendicular to the first direction D1, and the combined length exceeds the length L1 of the single other conventional side panel 102 along the first direction D1.

[0030] It will be appreciated that a variety of other configurations are contemplated. For example, in some cases, flaps 401 may be connected to panel 104. The functionality of flaps such as flaps 401 allows, for example, gluing to obtain a four-wing structure ready to stand, and also allows for the formation of, for example, Figure 7B The flat, reduced footprint structure shown in .

[0031] It should be understood that in the present disclosure, "aligned" can include fold lines in the same direction that may be slightly offset from one another, for example, to account for material thickness. In some examples, such offsets that are considered to maintain alignment may be less than three times the thickness of the material forming the blank. In some examples, such offsets that are considered to maintain alignment may be less than two times the thickness of the material forming the blank. In some examples, such offsets that are considered to maintain alignment may be less than the thickness of the material forming the blank.

[0032] According to the present disclosure, the combined length is the combined length in a direction perpendicular to the first direction of one or more elements forming the erected support element structure, without double counting the final portion of such elements that are configured to overlap or be glued together in such erected support elements. Specifically, it is the combined length that is the sum of the lengths in a direction perpendicular to the first direction of the elements connected to a particular side panel 101 and the opposing side panel 103, and that extend beyond the corresponding side panel in that direction perpendicular to the first direction. Such a combined length may correspond to the perimeter length of the erected support element structure, for example, extending from corner to corner of the erected cover, passing through the apex of the support element structure, along a cross-section of the erected support element structure parallel to the plane of the erected single, otherwise conventional side panel, while following the support element structure. Such a combined length exceeding the length of the single, otherwise conventional side panel in the first direction reflects the fact that the support element structure extends away from the top panel and, therefore, has a perimeter length in the first direction from one end of the top panel to the opposite end of the top panel that exceeds the length of the top panel itself in that same direction. For example, in the case of lid 300, the length along the cylindrical portion corresponding to the curve actually exceeds the length of the line segment between the points where the cylindrical portion intersects the top panel. Similarly, in the case of lids 100, 200, or 220, the length along the triangular cross-section of the support element structure will exceed the length of the line segment separating the points where the triangular structure intersects the top panel. The support element structure extends away from the top panel in the erected lid, thus equivalent to a combined length in the blank exceeding the length of a single, otherwise conventional side panel. It should be understood that such combined length corresponds to the total length of the various elements forming the support element in the blank, which is precisely different from the length of the erected support element in the erected lid. It should also be noted that when forming the erected support element, some of the various elements forming the support element may be configured to be glued together, in whole or in part. In this case, the length of such whole or partial cross-sections configured to be glued together to form the double-layer structure may not be double-counted in such combined length. In some examples, all elements in the blank that are connected to and extend beyond a particular side panel have a specific combined length in a direction perpendicular to the first direction that exceeds the length of a single other conventional side panel in the first direction, thereby ensuring that the combined length exceeds the length of a single other conventional side panel in the first direction, whereby the combined length includes the specific combined length. In other words, even if the support element opposing side panel 307 having a length of L2B is completely glued to the support element first panel 306 having a length of L2A in order to make the support element stand upright, the support element will still stand upright due to L2A, which in this case corresponds exactly to the perimeter length of the standing support element structure, which is longer than L1.

[0033] Figure 5An exemplary cardboard blank 500 is shown for a cardboard cover according to the present disclosure, in particular a cardboard cover similar to the exemplary cardboard cover 220. The cardboard blank 500 includes the following elements, some of which correspond to corresponding elements of the cardboard blank 400 and therefore correspond to the same reference numerals:

[0034] - four side panels 102, 103, 104, 101 following one another in a first direction D1, each side panel being connected to at least one other side panel by a respective side panel fold line perpendicular to the first direction;

[0035] - a side flap 401 connected to one of the side panels (in this case, the side panel 101) along a fold line perpendicular to the first direction, the side flap 401 being behind or before (in this case, after) the four side panels in the first direction (in another example, such side flap 401 may be before the side panel 102);

[0036] - three cover flaps 402, 507, 404, which follow one another in a first direction, each cover flap being connected to a respective conventional side panel 102, 103, 104 of the four side panels by a respective cover flap fold line parallel to the first direction, the cover flap fold lines being aligned with one another; the four side panels comprising a conventional side panel and a special side panel;

[0037] - a supporting element structure comprising a supporting element first panel 506 connected to a specific side panel 101 by a specific folding line aligned with the cover flap folding line and by an additional folding line parallel to the specific folding line, the supporting element structure further comprising a supporting element relative panel 507 included in a cover flap among the three cover flaps and connected to the relative side panel 103, the relative side panel 103 being a conventional side panel separated from the specific side panel 101 by a single further conventional side panel 104, the supporting element structure having a combined length along a direction D2 perpendicular to the first direction D1 (in this case corresponding exactly to the circumferential length of the erected supporting element structure, L2C+L2D-L2D2, as will be explained below), which combined length exceeds the length L1 of the single further conventional side panel 104 along the first direction D1.

[0038] The cardboard blank 500 further includes a first wing 510 adjacent to the support element first panel 506 and connected to the support element first panel 506 by a first wing fold line perpendicular to the first direction.

[0039] Exemplary wings such as the first wing 501 can, for example, help the support element structure act as a centering patch on the lid so that the lid is correctly placed and aligned on the corresponding container, thereby guiding the lid during the closing of the container. Exemplary wings such as the first wing 501 can also help increase manufacturing tolerances by compensating for a certain degree of misalignment. Exemplary wings such as the first wing 501 can also help improve the consumer experience by facilitating the closing of the container.

[0040] Such a first wing can be included in different exemplary blanks according to the present disclosure to obtain different exemplary lids according to the present disclosure, whereby the support element structure of such a lid will include a support element first panel and a first wing, the first wing being adjacent to the support element first panel and separated from the support element first panel by a first wing fold line, the first wing including a first wing end located distal to the first wing fold line, the first wing end contacting the top panel to maintain the support element first panel extended away from the top panel. When folded into place from the blank, such a first wing will fold parallel to the lid side flap (in the example of blank 500, parallel to the lid side flap 104), and the distal end (e.g., distal end 511) will abut against the top panel 105 (e.g., formed by flaps 402 and 404), thereby pushing the support element first panel (e.g., 506) away from such top panel to achieve an exemplary lid according to the present disclosure. In some examples, the distal end can be curved to facilitate sliding of the first wing against the top panel when the lid is erected. In other examples, the distal end may be straight, for example to facilitate blank cutting.

[0041] The cardboard blank 500 includes a second flap 520 adjacent to the support element first panel and connected to the support element first panel by a second flap fold line that is perpendicular to the first direction and located on a side of the support element first panel opposite the first flap 510. It should be noted that while the exemplary blank 500 includes both a first flap and a second flap, another exemplary blank not shown here may include a single flap.

[0042] Such a first wing can be included in different exemplary blanks according to the present disclosure to obtain different exemplary covers according to the present disclosure, whereby the support element structure of such a cover will include a second wing adjacent to the support element first panel and separated from the support element first panel by a second wing fold line, the second wing including a second wing end located distal to the second wing fold line, the second wing end contacting the top panel to keep the support element first panel extending away from the top panel, the second wing fold line and the first wing fold line being located on opposite sides of the support element first panel.

[0043] In this exemplary blank 500, the first and second wing ends are rounded to facilitate standing of the cover. In this example, the shape of the second wing mirrors the shape of the first wing along a direction D2 perpendicular to the first direction D1 to extend the support element structure in a balanced manner.

[0044] In the exemplary blank 500, the first wing 510 corresponds to a cut in one of the three lid flaps adjacent the first panel of the support element, specifically, in this case, the cut in flap 404. In this exemplary blank 500, the second wing 520 corresponds to a cut in one of the three lid flaps adjacent the first panel of the support element, specifically, in this case, the cut in flap 402. In some other examples, such a cut may correspond to a single wing.

[0045] In the exemplary blank 500, the support element structure includes a connecting panel 508 positioned between the support element first panel 506 and the specific side panel 101. In this example, such connecting panel is directly connected to the specific panel via a specific fold line, and is directly connected to the support element first panel via an additional fold line parallel to the specific fold line. Direct connection should be understood as such connection via a single fold line. When the blank is erected to form the lid, the connecting panel can remain substantially parallel to the top panel, while the support element first panel extends away from the top panel.

[0046] In the exemplary blank 500, the support element structure includes a relative connecting panel 509 positioned between the support element opposing panel 507 and the opposing side panel 103. This structure can, for example, allow the support element first panel 506 to be held in place when the cover is erected from the blank. In this example, when the blank is erected as a cover, the opposing panel 507 can be matched with an additional panel 530, which is directly connected to the support element first panel on the side opposite the connecting panel 508. This relationship will be explained in more detail in the exemplary manufacturing method. It should be noted that in some examples, the connecting panel 508 and the relative connecting panel 509 have substantially the same length along direction D2, so as to centrally position the support element so that the apex of the support element can be aligned with the hole for the actuation area, which can be located at the midpoint of the corresponding side panel along direction D1. Similarly, the desired positioning of the apex can be achieved by varying the respective lengths of panels 508 and 509 accordingly.

[0047] In this exemplary blank 500, and as discussed in the context of blank 400, it should be understood that such a combined length corresponds to the total length of the various elements forming the support element in the blank, which is precisely different from the length of the stand-up support element in the stand-up cover. It should also be noted that when forming the stand-up support element, some of the various elements forming the support element may be configured to be glued together, in whole or in part, to form the double-layer structure. In such cases, the length of such whole or partial sections configured to be glued together to form the double-layer structure may not be double-counted in such a combined length. In some examples, all elements in the blank that are connected to and extend beyond a particular side panel have a specific combined length in a direction perpendicular to a first direction that exceeds the length of a single other conventional side panel in the first direction, thereby ensuring that the combined length exceeds the length of the single other conventional side panel in the first direction, and thus the combined length includes the specific combined length. In other words, even if the supporting element opposite side panel 507 is glued to the additional panel 530 in order to make the supporting element stand up, the supporting element will be stood up because the length L2D2 of L2D+L2C minus D2 along the glued portion between 507 and 530 is longer than L1.

[0048] The exemplary blank 500 further includes four reinforcement flaps 540, each of which is connected to a corresponding side panel by a corresponding reinforcement flap fold line, the reinforcement flap fold lines being aligned with each other and parallel to the first direction, and the reinforcement flaps being located on a side of the side panel opposite the cover flap and opposite the support element structure. In this representation, for ease of illustration, the reinforcement flaps are shown as being folded back onto the corresponding side panel. It should be noted that blanks having such folding flap configurations can be used to facilitate blank transportation to reduce blank size while keeping the blank substantially flat. Such reinforcement flaps can be glued to the corresponding side panel. Such reinforcement flaps can reinforce the corresponding side panel, thereby strengthening the overall structure.

[0049] In exemplary blank 500, a particular side panel 101 and an opposing side panel 103 are shorter side panels, each having the same panel length along a first direction, which is shorter than the panel lengths of the other two side panels 102 and 104 along the first direction. The other two side panels are longer side panels, each having the same length L1 along the first direction. In some examples, the length of the shorter panel along the first direction is less than 80% of the length of the longer panel. In some examples, the length of the shorter panel along the first direction is less than 70% of the length of the longer panel. In some examples, the length of the shorter panel along the first direction is less than 60% of the length of the longer panel. In some examples, the length of the shorter panel along the first direction is less than 50% of the length of the longer panel. In some examples, the length of the shorter panel along the first direction is greater than 10% of the length of the longer panel. In some examples, the length of the shorter panel along the first direction is greater than 20% of the length of the long panel. In some examples, the length of the shorter panel along the first direction is greater than 30% of the length of the long panel. Using relatively shorter lengths for the short panels of a load-bearing support structure makes such a support structure relatively more resilient by reducing cantilevering. In some examples, the length of the short panels is preferably tailored to the finger span of a consumer, and the interior volume or cavity of the corresponding container is set by setting the length of the long panels to achieve a desired capacity or fill level at a given container height.

[0050] In exemplary blank 500, each long side panel includes a corresponding aperture for an actuation region, whereby each corresponding aperture is preferably a through-hole that intersects a groove included in the long side panel. This configuration not only allows for the provision of an actuation region, but also allows for this to be done in conjunction with the positioning of the support elements and allows for ventilation of the long side panels via such intersecting grooves, which are more likely to weaken in humid environments than the short side panels due to their greater length, which makes them less resilient. This relative positioning of the apertures, support elements, short panels, and long panels acts synergistically and contributes to a stronger cardboard structure.

[0051] Blanks according to the present invention can be conveniently transported as a stack of multiple flat or substantially flat blanks. In some examples, the blanks in the stack include reinforcing flaps that are folded back and preferably glued to reduce the blank's 2D footprint, making the blanks less flat but still stackable. Such stacks facilitate erection of corresponding covers at a manufacturing facility separate from the facility that manufactures the blanks.

[0052] Figure 6 Exemplary consumer products 600 are shown, including detergent products (in Figure 6210B). Another lock may be provided to engage with the aperture 210, such another lock being located on the rear side of the box, mirroring the lock 610 located on the front side of the box.

[0053] Detergent products are products that may be relatively heavy, such as when the container for this product is carrying the full weight of this detergent product, particularly when consumer's goods are recently purchased and therefore hold a large amount of detergent products. Although some consumers may lift and transport this consumer's goods by holding the base of the box that holds this detergent product, this lifting and transportation may also be carried out by holding this consumer's goods with a lid and not holding the base. In such cases, the lid that stands under the gravity of detergent products may be released and open the box, and the box falls and may unfold its contents. Such situations should be avoided. Except avoiding this unintentional lid unlocking, the structure of the consumer's goods container should keep or improve the ergonomics of opening, and prevent or reduce the permanent sidewall deformation when excessively or repeatedly applying force to consumer's goods, such as during transportation, in a grocery shopping bag to other objects, when being subjected to external pressure or when falling. Simultaneously, container can be elaborately made so as to protect the environment. Consumer's goods according to the present disclosure are intended to consider these different aspects.

[0054] In this disclosure, consumer products are understood to refer specifically to products intended for end consumers. These products can be purchased, for example, in supermarkets, and the end consumer can store them at home. Consumer products can be available in large quantities, and therefore, their design should take environmental considerations into account. The design of consumer products should also consider transportation to retail stores. The design of consumer products should also consider shelf storage at retail stores. The design of consumer products should also consider transportation from retail stores to consumers' homes. The design of consumer products should also consider storage at the end consumer's home. The design of consumer products should also consider use of the consumer product at the end consumer's home. The design of consumer products should also consider disposal.

[0055] Consumer products according to the present disclosure include detergent products. Detergent products are understood in this disclosure to mean products containing surfactants. Detergent products may also contain bleach or other ingredients. Exemplary detergent product compositions are described in more detail herein. In some examples, the detergent product comprises a unit dose detergent pouch, preferably a water-soluble unit dose detergent pouch, more preferably a flexible water-soluble unit dose detergent pouch. Exemplary unit dose detergent pouches are described in more detail herein.

[0056] Consumer goods according to the present disclosure also include containers. In the present disclosure, a container should be understood as an object that holds contents, for example, in a cavity of a container. The container facilitates the protection, transportation, storage, access, and handling of the consumer goods. In the present disclosure, a container includes a box. A box should be understood as a three-dimensional object that is roughly parallelepiped, barrel-shaped, cylindrical, circular, oval, or cubical, defining a cavity. The use of parallelepiped boxes can facilitate storage and transportation by allowing boxes to be stacked in a space-efficient manner. In some examples, the box can be a parallelepiped with some circular, tapered trapezium, or beveled edges. The box according to the present disclosure includes a detergent product. It should be understood that the detergent product is held or stored in the box. The box according to the present disclosure may include a base, sidewalls, and an opening. The base according to the present disclosure should be understood as a surface on which the box can rest when placed on a support surface such as a shelf or floor. In some examples, the base is flat. In some examples, the base is rectangular. In some examples, the base is oval or circular. In some examples, the base is flat. In some examples, the base has an embossed profile that protrudes inward or outward in the form of relief. Sidewalls according to the present disclosure should be understood to extend from the base and connect the base to the opening, transition piece, or cover. It should be understood that the connection between the base and the opening may also include a transition piece in addition to the sidewalls. For example, the transition piece may be glued or otherwise attached to the sidewalls. In some examples, the sidewalls are perpendicular to the base. In some examples, the base is rectangular and has four sides, with four sidewalls extending perpendicularly from the base, each sidewall being rectangular, each sidewall being connected to an edge of the base via a sidewall edge and to the other two of the four sidewalls via two other sidewall edges. In some examples, the base is elliptical or circular, and the sidewalls form a generally cylindrical wall extending from the base in a direction orthogonal or perpendicular to the base. In some examples, the sidewalls have a shape corresponding to one of a square, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a spherical segment, an oval segment, or a segment of an ellipsoid. Should be understood as the hole that provides the access to the detergent product that is contained in the box according to opening of the present disclosure.In some examples, opening faces the base.In some examples, opening has the surface that is smaller than the surface of the base.In some examples, opening has the surface larger than the surface of the base, so that for example, use the sidewall that extends from the base to be greater than 90 degrees at an angle with the base to provide the access that improves.In some examples, after removing tamper-proof (tamper proof) feature portion, opening is provided, and this tamper-proof feature portion for example includes the punch to be removed when using for the first time or the tamper-evident (tamper evident) label that lid is locked to box or tray.In some examples, the opening is placed on a top panel of the box, the top panel facing the base of the box, the top panel of the box being separated from the base of the box by at least a side wall, the top panel of the box being substantially coplanar with the base of the box, whereby the opening covers a portion of the top panel, the top panel including a peripheral section surrounding the opening, the peripheral section being, for example, a transition piece between the side wall and the opening. In some examples, the opening is rectangular. In some examples, the opening is rectangular with rounded edges. In some examples, the opening is circular or oval. A lid according to the present disclosure should be understood as an element that allows the opening of a container to be repeatedly closed and opened. In some examples, the lid can be connected to the box, for example, by a hinge, or can be detached from the box. A lid according to the present disclosure can include a top and side wings or lid wings. It should be understood that when the lid is in the closed position, the top of the lid is intended to cover the opening of the box. In some examples, the top of the lid is rectangular. In some examples, the top of the lid is circular, hexagonal, octagonal, or oval, and a structure such as a circle or oval can be approached by adding multiple side panels and lid flaps. In some examples, the lid includes a beveled edge. In some examples, the top of the lid is rectangular with rounded edges. It should be understood that, although named "top," the top of the lid can be positioned in different orientations. The lid may include side wings. It should be understood that side wings according to the present disclosure are elements connected to the top of the lid and extending from the lid so as to engage one or more side walls of the box. The side wings help position the top of the lid over the opening. In some examples, the side wings extend vertically from the top of the lid. In some examples, the side wings surround the entire periphery of the top of the lid. In some examples, the side wings partially surround the entire periphery of the top of the lid, with a portion of the top of the lid being wingless. When the lid is in the closed position, the top of the lid can cover the opening, and at least a portion of the side wings can cover at least a specific portion of the side walls, allowing the lid to move from the closed position to the open position. The movement of the lid can be constrained by a connection to the box (such as a hinge), or it can be completely removable, for example to provide improved access to the contents of the box. The box and lid cooperate to facilitate storage, transportation, and access to the contents of the container.

[0057] According to the present disclosure, the container includes a locking member. In the present disclosure, a locking member should be understood as a mechanism that prevents or reduces the possibility of accidental opening. According to the present disclosure, the locking member holds the lid in a closed position. It should be understood that the locking member according to the present disclosure is intended to function under normal use of the container. It should be understood that when, for example, the box is used unusually or when the box is under unusual conditions, the locking member may not be able to perform its function. According to the present disclosure, the locking member includes an actuator that can move from the locked position to the open position by applying actuating pressure to the actuator when the lid is in the closed position. In the present disclosure, an actuator should be understood as a mechanical structure that undergoes movement when actuated by an external force or actuating pressure, and when such movement occurs, such movement causes the locking member to open. In some examples, the actuator according to the present disclosure is elastic and has a default position, which corresponds to the lid remaining closed, and the elasticity is overcome by the external force or actuating pressure to open the lid. In some examples, the actuator is resilient in that the actuator includes a flexible element having a default position corresponding to the lid being held closed, the flexible element being pressed to open the lid, and when the pressure is released, the flexible element springs back to the default position. It will be understood that the pressure is generated by applying a force to a surface. The actuator according to the present disclosure has at least two positions, an open position and a locked position, whereby the open position corresponds to a position that allows the lid to be opened, and the locked position prevents the lid from opening or reduces the likelihood of accidental opening of the lid.

[0058] Actuator according to the present disclosure can be connected to the specific part of the sidewall of box, this specific part can be the specific part covered by at least a portion of flank when lid is in closed position, actuator abuts the locking tab against flank when being in locked position, actuator keeps away from locking tab when being in open position, and actuator can shift unlocking displacement distance in the direction orthogonal to the specific part of sidewall under actuation pressure effect.The connection of actuator and this specific part of sidewall is because actuator participates in locking or unlocking this specific part of sidewall from the part of covering sidewall of flank, thereby allows to release lid from box. Flank can comprise locking tab.Locking tab should be understood as the mechanical element interlocked with actuator.In some examples, locking tab extends away from flank, and can be the form of ridge, ridge, embossing or stretching out from the flank of lid and towards the additional material layer of the specific part of sidewall, so that actuator can abut against tab when being in locked position, to prevent the specific part of sidewall from being separated from the flank in actuator area. In some examples, the locking tab is incorporated into the side wing itself, for example, by a hole in the side wing. An abutment, as used herein, should be understood to mean contact between the actuator, or a portion of the actuator, and the tab, preventing the lid from opening. The actuator, when in the open position, is held away from the locking tab to release the locking tab. This release of the locking tab allows the lid to open. The actuator is displaced or moved from the locked position to the open position by applying an actuating pressure or force (directly or indirectly) to the actuator, causing it to shift in a direction perpendicular to a specific portion of the side wall by a distance sufficient to prevent contact between the actuator and the locking tab, corresponding to the displacement distance. It should be understood that the force or pressure causing this displacement can have multiple different directions, and if a component of this force or pressure is in a direction perpendicular to the specific portion of the side wall, such different directions contribute to the displacement. This force or pressure may also include a component parallel to the side wall. However, the actuation is triggered by the component of this force or pressure perpendicular to the portion of the side wall. The presence of this component normal to the portion of the side wall contributes to the action of the lock, i.e., to preventing accidental opening by applying a force parallel to the side wall to lift the lid to lift the container, while the desired opening will occur by the consumer "pushing" the actuator and applying an unlocking force or pressure that allows the lid to be opened. In other words, although the consumer may apply a force on the actuator in a direction that may not be normal to the side wall, if a component of this force is normal to the side wall, this component can contribute to the application of pressure that causes displacement.

[0059] In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a lid that is designed to be opened by a user. The lid is designed to be opened by a user who is provided with a locking member. The locking member is designed to be able to open the lid by a user who is provided with a locking member. The locking member is designed to be able to open the lid by a user who is provided with a locking member. The locking member is designed to be able to open the lid by a user who is provided with a locking member. The locking member is designed to be able to open the lid by a user who is provided with a locking member. The locking member is designed to be able to open the lid by a user who is provided with a locking member. The locking member is designed to be able to open the lid by a user who is provided with a locking member. The locking member is designed to be able to open the lid by a user who is provided with a locking member. The locking member is designed to be able to open the lid by a user who is provided with a locking member. The locking member is designed to be able to open the lid by a user who is provided with a locking member.

[0060] In some examples, the locking element is placed in the central region of the side wall of the box. The central region should be understood as being substantially equidistant from the opposite edge of the relevant side wall, such edge being along a direction perpendicular to the base of the box. In such examples, it should be understood that the locking element is positioned closest to the edge of the side wall closest to the opening rather than the edge of the side wall closest to the base, while being located in the central region relative to the edge perpendicular to the base. If the box is lifted by applying pressure on the actuator to hold the lid, such a central position of the locking element can help prevent the lid from sliding off the box. Such pressure thereby presses the actuator against the center of the support element structure, thereby balancing the forces maintaining the connection between the lid and the box and helping to prevent accidental opening. In some examples, the locking element can be located on the side wall and between two edges of the side wall, such edges being perpendicular to the base, with the locking element being closer to one of the two edges than the other, for example, being positioned at 1 / 3 of the distance between the two edges closer to the one edge. In some examples, a side wall can include two locking elements. In some examples, two locking elements can be provided, each offset from the centerline to increase the distance separating the two locking elements. In some examples, more than two locks may be provided. In some examples, three locks are provided, such as a first lock corresponding to the thumb of a user's hand and two additional locks on the other side of the cover for the index and middle fingers of the same user's hand, so that the user can actuate all three locks simultaneously with a single hand.

[0061] The object of the present disclosure is to resolve the apparent contradiction between the use of a material for the side wall that will resist accidental opening and the use of a particularly environmentally friendly material for the side wall on the one hand.

[0062] In some embodiments, the container can be made of a rigid cardboard material, a flexible cardboard material or their mixture. In some examples, the material forming the box or lid has a wall thickness greater than 220 microns and less than 3mm. In some examples, the material forming the box or lid has a wall thickness greater than 1mm and less than 2mm. In some examples, the material forming the box or lid is folded over itself, for example, to strengthen the part or entirety of the box or lid. Container can be made of paper material, bio-based material, bamboo fiber, cellulose fiber, cellulose-based or fiber-based material or their mixture. Container can be made of the material that comprises recycled material, for example, reclaims cellulose fiber-based material.

[0063] The lid according to the present disclosure includes a support element structure that enters the opening when the lid is in the closed position. At least a portion of a specific portion of the sidewall is located between the side wings and the support element structure when the lid is in the closed position. When the lid is in the closed position and no actuation pressure is applied, a gap distance separates the sidewall from the support element structure in a direction orthogonal to the specific portion of the sidewall. When the lid is in the closed position and an actuation pressure above a pressure threshold is applied, the gap distance is reduced to zero by deflection of the specific portion of the sidewall. The support element structure and the side wings are both structurally part of the lid, and the support element structure and the side wings allow the specific portion of the sidewall to be sandwiched between them, thereby preventing the specific portion of the sidewall from sinking and preventing the actuator from undesirably disengaging from the locking tab. It is important to note that, when applying actuating pressure when lifting box by lid, the pressure applied will make the sandwiched specific part of sidewall lean against the support element structure, thereby compensate gravity, otherwise gravity can make lid and box disconnect, and this type of compensation of gravity is realized by this specific part of sidewall and the resistance static friction between the support element structure.In some examples, the use of support element structure allows to use relatively flexible material to make box, and when not having support element structure, this type of flexible material will be flexed to the following degree, if promptly lifting box by its lid, box will fall.Allowing to use relatively flexible material equally allows to use this type of material of less amount, because there is the support element structure of this type of flexibility that compensates.Therefore, even if actuating pressure is applied on the actuator of locking member (for example, box is lifted when applying pressure on the actuator of locking member), the existence of this type of support element structure also prevents or reduces the risk of accidental opening.

[0064] When the lid is in the closed position, the support element structure enters the opening, thereby fitting within the case when the lid is in the closed position. Such an entry opening should be understood to mean that the support element structure includes a portion of the support element structure that enters the opening when the lid is moved from the open position to the closed position, and that the support element structure partially exits the opening when the lid is moved from the closed position to the open position. When the lid is in the closed position, at least a portion of the specific portion of the sidewall is positioned between the side wings and the support element structure. This structure allows the specific portion of the sidewall to be captured between the side wings and the support element structure, inserted between the side wings and the support element structure when the lid is moved from the open position to the closed position, and released from between the side wings and the support element structure when the lid is moved from the closed position to the open position. When the lid is in the closed position, a gap distance separates the sidewall from the support element structure in a direction orthogonal to the specific portion of the sidewall, and when no actuation pressure is applied, such a direction corresponds, for example, to the direction of the linear ridge. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a lid and a box. The lid and a box are connected by a plurality of means. The lid and a box are connected by a plurality of means. The plurality of means are connected by a plurality of means. The plurality of means are connected by a plurality of means. The plurality of means are connected by a plurality of means. The plurality of means are connected by a plurality of means. The plurality of means are connected by a plurality of means. The plurality of means are connected by a plurality of means. The plurality of means are connected by a plurality of means. The plurality of means are connected by a plurality of means. The plurality of means are connected by a plurality of means. The plurality of means are connected by a plurality of means. In some examples, the tolerance is at least 1 mm and less than 3 mm. For example, when the lid is in the closed position, the tolerance is measured between the inner surface of the side wing and the outer surface of the side wall, it being understood that the tolerance may take different values ​​in the area of ​​the locking member.

[0065] In some examples, when the lid is in the closed position and no actuation pressure is applied, the gap distance is at least 1 mm and less than 1 cm. This range allows for easy closing of the lid and prevents sagging of a specific portion of the sidewall that could cause unintended unlocking. In some examples, when the lid is in the closed position and no actuation pressure is applied, the gap distance is at least 1.5 mm and less than 0.5 cm. In some examples, when the lid is in the closed position and no actuation pressure is applied, the gap distance is at least 2 mm and less than 0.4 cm.

[0066] In some examples, such as Figure 6 As shown, the actuator includes a flap 603 connected to a specific portion of the side wall of the box by a hinge portion. The flap extends from the hinge portion to a distal edge of the flap. When the lid is in the closed position, the hinge portion is located between the side flap and the support element structure. When in the locked position, the distal edge extends away from the specific portion of the side wall and the distal edge of the flap abuts against the locking tab of the side flap. When in the open position, the flap is placed flush against the specific portion of the side wall and the distal edge is held away from the locking tab. Actuation pressure causes the flap to displace an acute actuation angle from the closed position to the open position, the acute angle corresponding to the displacement of the distal edge by the unlocking displacement distance. In some examples, the acute angle is between 5 degrees and 60 degrees. In some examples, the acute angle is between 5 degrees and 45 degrees. In some examples, the acute angle is between 5 degrees and 20 degrees. In some examples, the acute angle is a function of the length of the locking flap in a direction generally parallel to the specific section, and a function of the thickness of the locking tab, and a function of the tolerance between the sidewall of the box and the side wings of the lid, and a function of the tolerance between the sidewall of the box and the flap or the patch described below. In some examples, the horizontal displacement (along a direction substantially perpendicular to the sidewall comprising the specific section) measured at the end of the locking flap adjacent to the locking tab is at least the thickness of the locking tab along a direction substantially perpendicular to the sidewall comprising the specific section. In some examples, this horizontal displacement is between 0.3 mm and 30 mm. In some examples, the length of the flap has a length along a direction substantially perpendicular to the base of the box that is greater than the sum of the different tolerances, including the clearance between the locking tab and the flap in the adjacent area when the lid is in a closed position and the container is not subjected to external pressure, the tolerance between the side wings of the lid and the sidewall of the box, the tolerance between the sidewall of the box and the flap, and the bending deformation of the flap. In some examples, the locking flap has a length along a direction generally normal to the base of the box of at least 3 mm and less than 60 mm. In some examples, the locking flap has a length along a direction generally normal to the base of the box of at least 15 mm and less than 45 mm. In some examples, the locking flap has a length along a direction generally normal to the base of the box of at least 25 mm and less than 35 mm. In some examples, the flap has a width along a direction normal to its length and parallel to that particular portion of between 5 mm and 60 mm. Such exemplary width dimensions may allow for easy disengagement of the locking member by limiting its width while avoiding the risk of deformation of the locking member due to pressure by providing the locking member with sufficient width. Such sizing selection may depend on the materials selected for forming the different portions of the container. Such flaps may be used for different Figure 6 In the examples or configurations shown.

[0067] In some examples not shown here, the actuator comprises a patch glued to a specific portion of the side wall. Such a patch can be, for example, a sheet of material of the same nature as that used to make the box or lid, such a sheet of material being glued to the box, being structurally separate from the box, interacting with the locking tab, comprising, for example, a fold line defining a first portion interacting with the locking tab and a second portion glued to the box, thereby acting as a flap as described herein.

[0068] In such Figure 6 In some examples shown, the support element structure 200 comprises a support area comprising an area in contact with a specific portion of the side wall when the gap is reduced to zero by deflection of the specific portion of the side wall when the actuation pressure is applied above a pressure threshold when the lid is in the closed position, whereby this contact area faces in a direction orthogonal to the specific portion of the side wall towards the actuator 603. Placing such a contact area at the level of the actuator allows improving the elasticity of the structure, whereby once the gap distance separating the side wall from the support element structure is reduced to zero and the actuator is in direct contact with the support element structure at the contact area, the actuation pressure will be directly absorbed by the support element structure.

[0069] Exemplary consumer products 600 include Figure 6 The locking member 610 shown. Consumer product 600 also includes an additional locking member (not shown). In fact, in this example and some other examples, the consumer product includes an additional locking member, which includes an additional actuator connected to an additional specific portion of the sidewall, the specific portion of the sidewall being included in the first sidewall of the box, and the additional specific portion of the sidewall being included in the second sidewall of the box, the first sidewall being opposite the second sidewall. Consumer product 600 includes actuator 603 for locking member 610 and an additional actuator for the locking member. It should be understood that in this example and some other examples that include an additional locking member, such additional locking member can have a structure similar to or different from the locking member according to the present disclosure. In some examples, the additional locking member has a structure corresponding to the structure of the locking member according to the present disclosure. In some examples, the additional locking member has a structure different from the structure of the locking member according to the present disclosure. In some examples, according to the present disclosure, the additional locking member is provided on the same sidewall as the locking member according to the present disclosure. In some examples, the additional locking member is provided on a sidewall adjacent to the sidewall that includes the locking member.

[0070] exist Figure 6In the example shown, the side flaps of the lid include an actuation area 210B and an additional actuation area 210. In fact, in this example and in some other examples, the side flaps of the lid include an actuation area that faces the actuator and allows the actuator to be displaced from the closed position to the open position by applying an actuation pressure at the actuation area when the lid is in the closed position, whereby the actuation area includes one or more of an actuation hole, an actuation flap, an actuation slit or an actuation diaphragm, whereby the actuation area also includes a visual indication indicating the position of the actuation area. Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the example shown, activation areas 210B and 210 each include an activation hole. The visual indication may be printed on the outer surface of the side flap and may include one or more arrows or one or more areas printed in a prominent color or with specific text providing instructions (such as "Push here to open"), or any combination of these indications.

[0071] exist Figure 6 In the illustrated example and in some other examples not shown here, the flank includes an additional actuation area 210 facing the additional actuator and allowing the additional actuator to shift, and the actuation area 210B and the additional actuation area 210 are separated by a peripheral path along the outer surface of the lid, and this peripheral path is measured to be less than 20cm and greater than 9cm. In some examples, the peripheral path is the shortest peripheral path between the top of the actuation area and the top of the additional actuation area, and this type of top is the point closest to the top of the lid of the corresponding actuation area or the additional actuation area. In some examples, the peripheral path is measured to be less than 15cm and greater than 11cm. In some examples, the peripheral path is measured to be less than 14cm and greater than 12cm. The length of this peripheral path can advantageously allow an adult user to apply the thumb of one hand to the actuator and the index finger (or middle finger) of the same hand to the additional actuator at the same time, so that the actuator and the additional actuator can be pressed simultaneously with one hand, thereby unlocking the lid and opening the lid. In other examples, two locking members may be provided on the same side wall, with both locking members being opened by actuating them using, for example, two thumbs.

[0072] In exemplary consumer product 600, actuation areas 210B and 210 are separated by a straight line from the outer surface of the corresponding flank in which they are located, such that such distance is greater than 6 cm and less than 12 cm. In some examples, the distance is approximately 8 cm. In some examples, the distance is greater than 7.5 cm and less than 8.5 cm. In some examples, the distance is greater than 8.4 cm and less than 10.4 cm. In some examples, the distance is greater than 8.9 cm and less than 9.9 cm. In some examples, the distance is approximately 9.4 cm. In some examples, when no actuation pressure is applied, the gap distance separating the sidewall from the support element structure is each between 1 mm and 4 mm. In some examples, when no actuation pressure is applied, the gap distance is each between 3 mm and 4 mm.

[0073] exist Figure 6 In the example shown, each locking member is separated from the corresponding triangular member of the support element structure by a certain gap distance. In this example and in some other examples according to the present disclosure, the support element structure includes a resilient structure that contacts both the specific portion of the first side wall and the additional specific portion of the second side wall when both are flexed when the actuation pressure applied to both the actuator and the additional actuator is higher than a pressure threshold when the lid is in the closed position. In this configuration, the resilient structure of the actuator absorbs any excess pressure applied to the actuator in order to open the lid. In some examples, the resilient structure or the cardboard structure is integral, for example to facilitate manufacturing. Integral should be understood as being made from a single piece of material. In some examples, the resilient structure includes multiple substructures, for example to facilitate assembly.

[0074] In some examples, the side flaps of the lid cover approximately 30% of the sidewalls of the box. In this case, 30% corresponds to the ratio between the height of the side flaps in a direction perpendicular to both the top of the lid and the base of the box on the one hand and the height of the sidewalls in a direction perpendicular to both the top of the lid and the base of the box on the other hand. In one example, the side flaps completely surround the sidewalls around the opening. This covering of the side flaps helps ensure the placement of the lid, structural flexibility, and protection of the contents. In some examples, when the lid is in the closed position, the side flaps cover at least 30% of the sidewalls. In some examples, when the lid is in the closed position, the side flaps cover at least 35% of the sidewalls. In some examples, when the lid is in the closed position, the side flaps cover at least 40% of the sidewalls. In some examples, when the lid is in the closed position, the side flaps cover at most 90% of the sidewalls. In some examples, when the lid is in the closed position, the side flaps cover at most 80% of the sidewalls. In some examples, when the lid is in the closed position, the side flaps cover at most 70% of the sidewalls. In some examples, the manufacturing process includes providing different box sizes, such as boxes with sidewall heights of 10 cm, 11.5 cm, 13.5 cm, or 16 cm, whereby each box can be provided with the same lid that fits all provided box sizes, such as a lid with a 7 cm wing height. In some examples, the wing height exceeds 3 cm. In some examples, the wing height exceeds 5 cm. In some examples, the wing height exceeds 6 cm.

[0075] According to the support element structure of the present disclosure, the support element structure distal end can be included at a certain depth when the lid is in the closed position. In some examples, the depth is at least 3mm and is less than 50mm from the top of the lid. In some examples, the depth is at least 5mm and is less than 50mm from the top of the lid. In some examples, the depth is at least 15mm and is less than 40mm from the top of the lid. In some examples, the depth is at least 20mm and is less than 35mm from the top of the lid. The depth of the support element structure helps to strengthen the structure of the consumer product. The combination of the depth and shape of the support element structure and the amount of the gap distance can allow to avoid twisting the lid.

[0076] In some cases, in the direction orthogonal to the base of box, in the direction from the base of box towards the top of lid, force is applied to the flank.For example, when lifting box from the floor to transport box, such force can be applied.In this case, because the weight of contents and box is applied to locking tab by actuator, the gap distance separating sidewall and support element structure can be reduced to zero.In this case, support element structure allows to avoid the accidental opening of the box that causes by the people's hands that grasping box with lid and lifting box by sidewall sinking to the degree that actuator will release from locking tab, box falls on the floor.In this example and some other examples, the weight of detergent product exceeds 50% of the weight of consumer's goods, thus on the base of box, there is not having reaction force by the gravity produced on the base of box by detergent product causes the deflection of the specific part of sidewall and makes the gap be reduced to zero, when the gap is reduced to zero and when not applying actuating pressure, actuator keeps abutting against locking tab.In some examples, in this case, the weight of detergent product exceeds 70% of consumer's weight. In some examples, in such cases, the weight of the detergent product exceeds 80% of the weight of the consumer product.

[0077] In some cases, force is applied to the actuator in a direction orthogonal to the sidewall, in a direction towards the inside of the box, for example, by grasping the lid with one hand (thumb on one side and other fingers on the other side). For example, when lifting the box from the floor to transport the box, such force can be applied. In this case, the gap distance can be reduced to zero because the force is sandwiched between the sidewall and the actuator. In this case, the static friction between the sidewall and the support element structure allows to avoid the accidental opening of the box that causes because the lid is disconnected from the sidewall, the box falls on the floor, the lid remains in the hands of the people who lift the box by holding the box with the lid.

[0078] In one example, the container is made from a cardboard material, and therefore, is made from a recyclable material.

[0080] In some examples, the support element structure is centrally located, for example where the cover includes an actuator or actuation area centrally located in a wing, whereby such a cover can be positioned in one sense or another while maintaining its functionality due to its symmetrical structure.

[0081] In some examples, the consumer product includes at least one water-soluble unit dose product and a container. The consumer product can be sold "as is", in other words, the consumer product is an item that the consumer takes from the shelf. Alternatively, the consumer product can be contained as a unit of a multi-component product. For example, more than one consumer product can be contained in an outer package, and the multiple packaged consumer products are sold together in a single purchase. The consumer product can include aesthetic elements, such as a shrink sleeve or label attached to the container. Alternatively, the container can be colored or printed with aesthetic elements or informational printed matter (such as instructions for use).

[0082] In some examples, the water-soluble unit dose product includes at least one water-soluble film oriented to form at least one unit dose internal compartment, wherein at least one unit dose internal compartment contains a detergent composition.

In some examples, the water-soluble unit dose product includes a water-soluble film, which is shaped so that the unit dose product includes at least one internal compartment surrounded by the water-soluble film. The at least one compartment includes a cleaning composition. The water-soluble film is sealed so that the cleaning composition does not leak out of the compartment during storage. However, when the water-soluble unit dose product is added to water, the water-soluble film dissolves and releases the contents of the internal compartment into the wash liquid. The unit dose product may include more than one compartment, at least two compartments, or at least three compartments, or at least four compartments, or even at least five compartments. The compartments can be arranged in a superimposed orientation, i.e., one is positioned on top of the other. Alternatively, the compartments can be positioned in a side-by-side orientation, i.e., one is positioned next to the other. The compartments can be oriented in a "tire and rim" arrangement, i.e., a first compartment is positioned near a second compartment, but the first compartment at least partially surrounds the second compartment, but does not completely enclose the second compartment. Alternatively, one compartment can be completely enclosed in another compartment. In some examples, the unit dose product includes at least two compartments, one of which is smaller than the other. In some examples, the unit dose article includes at least three compartments, two of which may be smaller than the third compartment, and in some examples, the two smaller compartments are stacked on the larger compartment. In some examples, the unit dose article includes at least four compartments, three of which may be smaller than the fourth compartment, and in some examples, the three smaller compartments are stacked on the larger compartment. In some examples, the stacked compartments are oriented side by side. In some examples, each individual unit dose article can have a weight between 10g and 40g, or even between 15g and 35g. The water-soluble film can dissolve or disperse in water.Before being formed into unit dose article, water-soluble film has the thickness of 20 microns to 150 microns in some examples, has the thickness of 35 microns to 125 microns in other examples, has the thickness of 50 microns to 110 microns in other examples, has the thickness of about 76 microns in some examples.Exemplary water-soluble film material comprises polymeric material.The film material can be obtained by, for example, being cast, blown, extruded or blown extruded by polymeric material.In some examples, water-soluble film comprises polyvinyl alcohol polymer or copolymer, for example, the blend of polyvinyl alcohol polymer and / or polyvinyl alcohol copolymer, for example, is selected from sulfonation and carboxylated anionic polyvinyl alcohol copolymer, especially carboxylated anionic polyvinyl alcohol copolymer, for example, the blend of polyvinyl alcohol homopolymer and carboxylated anionic polyvinyl alcohol copolymer.In some examples, water-soluble film is those supplied by Monosol with trade reference M8630, M8900, M8779, M8310.In some examples, film can be opaque, transparent or translucent.Film can comprise printing area. The printed area can be achieved using techniques such as flexographic printing or inkjet printing. The film may contain an aversive agent, such as a bittering agent. Suitable bittering agents include, but are not limited to, naringin, sucrose octaacetate, quinine hydrochloride, denatonium benzoate, or mixtures thereof. Example levels of aversive agents include, but are not limited to, 1 ppm to 5000 ppm, 100 ppm to 2500 ppm, or 250 ppm to 2000 ppm. The water-soluble film or the water-soluble unit dose product, or both, may be coated with a lubricant.

[0084] Figures 7A to 7JAn exemplary method for manufacturing a consumer product and a container containing a detergent product, preferably including a flexible, water-soluble unit dose article, comprising a box, a lid, and a lock to hold the lid in a closed position, is shown, the method comprising folding a blank 500 to erect a support element structure as part of the lid. While this particular exemplary method relates to blank 500, other blanks described herein may employ such methods.

[0085] exist Figure 7A In the embodiment, starting from a blank 500, a side panel 101 connected to a side flap 401 is folded back onto the side panel 104 along a fold line separating the side panel 101 from an adjacent side panel 104. The side flap 401 includes glue 411 which may be applied, for example, after folding back.

[0086] exist Figure 7B In, from Figure 7A Starting with the resulting structure shown, side panel 102 is folded back onto side panel 103 along a fold line separating side panel 102 from an adjacent side panel 103 , and side panel 102 is glued to side flap 401 once folded back.

[0087] For example Figure 7A and 7B As shown in FIG, the exemplary method actually includes folding two side panels (in this case 102 and 101) of the side flaps and side panels onto the other two side panels (in this case 103 and 104) so ​​that the side flaps face one of the other two side panels (in this case 102) to close the side wing structure by gluing the side flaps to one of the other two side panels. Afterwards, the closed side wing structure can be opened to stand up the side wings, thereby producing a side wing structure as shown in FIG. Figure 7C It should be noted that in the case where the initial manufacturing steps are performed at a supplier's facility, for example, Figure 7B The configuration shown is particularly space-efficient for transport due to its flatness and compactness. Alternatively, these folding steps can also be performed at a single manufacturer's location.

[0088] After opening the closed side flap structure, the top panel can be formed by folding the first of the three cover flaps, which is the cover flap connected to the opposite side panel 103, as shown. Figure 7D shown.

[0089] In such Figure 7D After the first cover flap is folded as shown, the first panel of the support element may be further folded so that the first panel of the support element contacts the first cover flap to form a support element structure, as shown in FIG. Figure 7EIt is important to recognize that the folding process of the cover flaps connected to the opposing side panels precedes the folding of the support member first panel so that the support member first panel will ultimately be tucked between the opposing side panels and the top panel as will be shown.

[0090] After folding the support element structure, as Figure 7E As shown, the remaining two cover flaps can be folded to push the support element structure away from the top panel, and the remaining cover flaps form the top panel, as shown in FIG. Figures 7F to 7I Continuing to be shown. In this example, the wings push the support element structure away from the side panels.

[0091] like Figure 7J The cover obtained as shown can then be connected with Figure 6 The boxes shown are combined to obtain a consumer product according to the present disclosure.

[0092] In some examples, the detergent product comprises a detergent composition. The detergent composition can be a laundry detergent composition, an automatic dishwashing composition, a hard surface cleaning composition, or a combination thereof. The detergent composition can comprise a solid, a liquid, or a mixture thereof. The term "liquid" includes a gel, a solution, a dispersion, a paste, or a mixture thereof. The solid can be a powder. The so-called powder in this article means that the detergent composition can contain solid particles or can be a single homogeneous solid. In some examples, the powder detergent composition comprises particles. This means that the powder detergent composition contains individual solid particles, which are different from a solid that is a single homogeneous solid. The particles can be free-flowing or can be compacted. The laundry detergent composition can be used in a hand-washing operation of fabric or can be used in an automatic machine fabric washing operation, for example, in an automatic machine fabric washing operation. Exemplary laundry detergent compositions include a non-soap surfactant, wherein the non-soap surfactant includes an anionic non-soap surfactant and a non-ionic surfactant. In some examples, the laundry detergent composition includes between 10% and 60%, or between 20% and 55%, of a non-soap surfactant by weight of the laundry detergent composition.

Exemplary non-soap anionic surfactants include linear alkylbenzene sulfonates, alkyl sulfates, or mixtures thereof. Exemplary weight ratios of linear alkylbenzene sulfonates to alkyl sulfates are 1:2 to 9:1, 1:1 to 7:1, 1:1 to 5:1, or 1:1 to 4:1. Exemplary linear alkylbenzene sulfonates are C 10 -C 16 Alkylbenzenesulfonic acid, or C 11 -C 14Alkylbenzenesulfonic acid. As used herein, "straight chain" means that the alkyl group is straight chain. Exemplary alkyl sulfate anionic surfactants may include alkoxylated alkyl sulfates or non-alkoxylated alkyl sulfates or mixtures thereof. Exemplary alkoxylated alkyl sulfate anionic surfactants include ethoxylated alkyl sulfate anionic surfactants. Exemplary alkyl sulfate anionic surfactants may include ethoxylated alkyl sulfate anionic surfactants having a molar average ethoxylation degree of 1 to 5, 1 to 3, or 2 to 3. Exemplary alkyl sulfate anionic surfactants may include non-ethoxylated alkyl sulfates and ethoxylated alkyl sulfates, wherein the molar average ethoxylation degree of the ethoxylated alkyl sulfates is 1 to 5, 1 to 3, or 2 to 3. The alkyl portion of the exemplary alkyl sulfate anionic surfactants is derived from a fatty alcohol, an oxo alcohol, a Guerbet alcohol, or a mixture thereof. In some examples, the laundry detergent composition comprises between 10% and 50%, between 15% and 45%, between 20% and 40%, or between 30% and 40% of a non-soap anionic surfactant, by weight of the laundry detergent composition. In some examples, the non-ionic surfactant is selected from an alcohol alkoxylate, an oxo alcohol alkoxylate, a Guerbet alcohol alkoxylate, an alkylphenol alcohol alkoxylate, or a mixture thereof. In some examples, the laundry detergent composition comprises between 0.01% and 10%, between 0.01% and 8%, between 0.1% and 6%, or between 0.15% and 5% of a non-ionic surfactant, by weight of the liquid laundry detergent composition. In some examples, the laundry detergent composition comprises between 1.5% and 20%, between 2% and 15%, between 3% and 10%, or between 4% and 8% soap, in some examples a fatty acid salt, or in some examples an amine-neutralized fatty acid salt, wherein in some examples the amine is an alkanolamine, for example, selected from monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, or mixtures thereof, and in some examples monoethanolamine. In some examples, the laundry detergent composition is a liquid laundry detergent composition. In some examples, the liquid laundry detergent composition may comprise less than 15%, or less than 12%, of water, by weight of the liquid laundry detergent composition. In some examples, the laundry detergent composition is a liquid laundry detergent composition comprising a non-aqueous solvent selected from 1,2-propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, glycerin, sorbitol, polyethylene glycol, or mixtures thereof. In some examples, the liquid laundry detergent composition comprises between 10% and 40%, or between 15% and 30%, of a non-aqueous solvent, by weight of the liquid laundry detergent composition. In some examples, the laundry detergent composition includes a perfume.In some examples, the laundry detergent composition comprises an adjuvant ingredient selected from the group comprising: a builder including an enzyme, a citrate, a bleach, a bleach catalyst, a dye, a hueing dye, a whitening agent, a cleaning polymer including an alkoxylated polyamine and a polyethyleneimine, a detergency polymer, a surfactant, a solvent, a dye transfer inhibitor, a chelating agent, an encapsulated perfume, a polycarboxylate, a structurant, a pH adjuster, and mixtures thereof.

When the laundry detergent composition is liquid, the laundry detergent composition may be Newtonian or non-Newtonian. In some examples, the liquid laundry detergent composition is non-Newtonian. Without being bound by theory, non-Newtonian liquids have different properties from Newtonian liquids, more specifically, the viscosity of non-Newtonian liquids depends on the shear rate, while Newtonian liquids have a constant viscosity that is independent of the applied shear rate. The reduction in viscosity upon application of shear to non-Newtonian liquids is believed to further facilitate dissolution of the liquid detergent.The liquid laundry detergent compositions described herein can have any suitable viscosity, depending on factors such as the formulation ingredients and the purpose of the composition.

[0093] The dimensions and values ​​disclosed herein are not to be understood as being strictly limited to the exact numerical values ​​recited. Instead, unless otherwise specified, each such dimension is intended to mean both the recited value and a functionally equivalent range surrounding that value. For example, a dimension disclosed as "40 mm" is intended to mean "about 40 mm."
