Description

Technical Field

[0001] This patent application relates entirely to a soap packaging package comprising a cardboard box for packaging soap. The soap packaging package includes soap, which includes a narrow central portion. Background Technology

[0002] Soap remains a popular form of product for cleansing the skin. The standard packaging for this type of soap is well-known. Soap packaging typically consists of a folding box from which the soap can be removed after opening inserted flaps, and the package can then be discarded. The soap packaging may include a drawer and a cover, with the drawer pulled out from the cover, see, for example, CH 657 826 A5.

[0003] However, current dispensing packages, including the cavity portion for containing the soap, do not allow users to easily remove the soap from the package. Typically, consumers shake the package to pour the soap out. As a technical solution, the size of the soap package could be increased to facilitate soap removal. However, relatively large soap packages can lead to defects such as scratches during shipping.

[0004] An improved device is still needed for easily releasing the soap from its packaging. Summary of the Invention

[0005] A soap package 1 is provided, comprising a soap 60 and a cardboard box 10 for packaging the soap 60. The box 10 includes a front wall 11, a rear wall 12, a bottom wall 13, opposing left and right side walls (14, 15), and a top shelf 16. The top shelf 16 includes a front shelf portion 16A, a rear shelf portion 16B, and opposing left and right front shelf portions (16C, 16D).

[0020] The object of this invention is to provide a dispensing soap package for packaging soap, as described in the summary of the invention or as described below, for achieving the technical effects or objectives set forth herein. These objectives and other advantages obtained through this invention, as described in the foregoing summary of the invention and detailed embodiments, and as defined in the following claims, will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

[0021] Soap packaging

[0022] Figure 1 A soap package 1 within the scope of this invention is shown. The soap package 1 includes a cardboard box 10 and a soap 60.

[0023] The cardboard box 10 used for packaging soap 60 has an approximately parallelepiped shape, i.e., a hexahedral shape. Figure 2 A schematic perspective view of a cardboard box 10 is shown according to one or more aspects.

[0024] The cardboard box 10 includes a front wall 11, a rear wall 12, a bottom wall 13, opposing left and right side walls (14, 15), and a top frame 16. The top frame 16 includes a front frame portion 16A, a rear frame portion 16B, and opposing left and right front frame portions (16C, 16D).

[0025] The cardboard box 10 includes a longitudinal axis L. The longitudinal axis L is parallel to the front and rear walls (11, 12). The cardboard box 10 also includes a transverse axis T, wherein the transverse axis T is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L.

[0026] The cardboard box 10 includes a cavity portion 30 for including the soap 60. The cavity portion 30 of the cardboard box 10 includes an inner front wall 31, an inner rear wall 32, and opposing inner left and inner right side walls (34, 35).

[0027] Optionally, the box 10 may include an inner peripheral base 40, wherein the inner peripheral base 40 is located in the cavity portion 30 at the bottom wall 13.

[0028] The cardboard box 10 includes a first hook portion and a second hook portion (50, 51). The first hook portion 50 is located on the inner rear wall 32.

[0029] The first finger hook portion 50 extends from the rear wall 12, preferably from the rear frame portion 16B, more preferably from the rear frame portion 16B to the bottom wall 13, and even more preferably from a portion of the rear frame portion 16B to a portion of the inner rear wall 32.

[0030] The second finger hook portion 51 is located at the inner anterior wall 31.

[0031] The second finger hook portion 51 extends from the front wall 11, preferably from the front frame portion 16A, more preferably from the front frame portion 16A to the bottom wall 13, and even more preferably from a portion of the front frame portion 16A to a portion of the inner front wall 31.

[0032] Soap package 1 includes soap 60, which includes a narrow central portion 61.

[0033] The narrow central portion 61 of soap 60 can be defined as the central region of soap 60, which extends along the longitudinal axis L and has a relatively narrow width when measured in the transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L.

[0034] The narrow central portion 61 of the soap 60 mates with the first and second hook portions (50, 51) of the cardboard box 10, allowing the user to easily grasp the soap 60 from the cardboard box 10. Because the narrow central portion 61 of the soap 60 coincides with the first and second hook portions (50, 51), the user can easily grasp the soap 60 from the cavity portion 30 of the cardboard box 10, and this does not require shaking the soap package 1 to pour the soap 60 out of the cardboard box 10.

[0035] The first and second finger hook portions (50, 51) can be symmetrical to each other along the longitudinal axis L, such as Figure 1 As shown. In this case, the first finger hook portion and the second finger hook portion (50, 51) have the same properties, that is, the same structure.

[0036] Alternatively, the first and second hook portions (50, 51) can be different, yet still located on the transverse axis T. In this case, even though the first and second hook portions (50, 51) are different, they still match the narrow central portion 61 of the soap 60. It may be advantageous to have first and second hook portions (50, 51) that are different from each other to obtain a better grip on the soap 60.

[0037] Soap 60 does not need to have a symmetrical narrow central portion 61 along the longitudinal axis L. A slightly modified narrow central portion 61 of soap 60 may be considered. In those cases, and in a general manner, one or both of the first and second finger hook portions (50, 51) may be located on or near the transverse axis T. The first and second finger hook portions (50, 51) may be the same or different.

[0038] Flat-shaped billet

[0039] A blank 100 is provided and has a substantially flat shape. The blank 100 is convertible into a cardboard box 10 having a substantially parallelepiped shape.

[0040] Figure 3 Provided with leading to Figure 2 A front view of an indicative example of a blank 100 of a cardboard box with a generally flat shape.

[0041] The following description of blank 100 applies to any aspect of cardboard box 10.

[0042] The blank 100 includes a front plate 101 for forming a front wall 11 and a rear plate 102 for forming a rear wall 12, wherein the front plate 101 and the rear plate 102 are opposite to each other.

[0043] The blank 100 includes a bottom plate 103 for forming the bottom wall 13, and opposing left and right plates (104, 105) for forming the corresponding opposing left and right side walls (14, 15).

[0044] Therefore, when the blank 100 is folded into the cardboard box 10, the blank 100 includes a front wall 11, a rear wall 12, a bottom wall 13, and opposing left and right side walls (14, 15).

[0045] The blank 100 also includes opposing outer left plates and outer right plates (340, 350) for forming corresponding opposing inner left side walls and inner right side walls (34, 35), and opposing outer upper plates and outer lower plates (320, 310) for forming inner rear wall 32 and inner front wall 31, respectively.

[0046] Therefore, when the blank 100 is folded in the cardboard box 10, the blank 100 includes the cavity portion 30 of the cardboard box 10 having an inner front wall 31, an inner rear wall 32, and opposing inner left and right side walls (34, 35).

[0047] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bottom plate 103 and the front plate 101 are connected at the first fold line 111. The bottom plate 103 and the rear plate 102 are connected at the second fold line 112. The bottom plate 103 and the left plate 104 are connected at the third fold line 113. The bottom plate 103 and the right plate 105 are connected at the fourth fold line 114.

[0048] The left plate 104 has a flap 240 opposite to the bottom plate 103 and connected to the left plate 104 at the fifth fold line 124. The outer left plate 340 is connected to the flap 240 of the left plate 104 at the sixth fold line 134. The flap 240 of the left plate 104 forms the left front frame portion 16C of the top frame 16.

[0049] Similarly, the right plate 105 has a flap 250 opposite to the bottom plate 103 and connected to the right plate 105 at the seventh fold line 125. The outer right plate 350 is connected to the flap 250 of the right plate 105 at the eighth fold line 135. The flap 250 of the right plate 105 forms the right front frame portion 16D of the top frame 16.

[0050] The third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth fold lines (113, 114, 124, 134, 125, 135) are parallel lines.

[0051] The front panel 101 also has a flap 210 opposite to the bottom panel 103 and connected to the front panel 101 at the ninth fold line 121. The outer lower panel 310 is connected to the flap 210 of the front panel 101 at the tenth fold line 131. The flap 210 of the front panel 101 forms the front frame portion 16A of the top frame 16.

[0052] Similarly, the rear plate 102 has a flap 220 opposite to the bottom plate 103 and connected to the rear plate 102 at the eleventh fold line 122. The outer upper plate 320 is connected to the flap 220 of the rear plate 102 at the twelfth fold line 132. The flap 220 of the rear plate 102 forms the rear frame portion 16B of the top frame 16.

[0053] The first fold line, the second fold line, the ninth fold line, the tenth fold line, the eleventh fold line, and the twelfth fold line (111, 112, 121, 131, 122, 132) are parallel lines.

[0054] Therefore, when the blank 100 is folded into a cardboard box 10, the blank 100 includes a top frame 16, which includes a front frame portion 16A, a rear frame portion 16B, and opposing left and right front frame portions (16C, 16D).

[0055] Advantageously, the blank 100 may also include a first continuous member, a second continuous member, a third continuous member, and a fourth continuous member (161, 162, 163, 164). Such continuous members help to stiffen the cardboard box 10 and seal its edges to make it airtight against the external environment. Such continuous members help to protect the soap from any dust from these edges.

[0056] The first continuous member 161 connects the front plate 101 and the right plate 105 by two corresponding fold lines (161A, 161B). The first continuous member 161 has a 45-degree valley-shaped fold line 161C between the front plate 101 and the right plate 105.

[0057] The second continuous member 162 connects the front plate 101 and the left plate 104 by two corresponding fold lines (162A, 162B). The second continuous member 162 has a 45-degree valley-shaped fold line 162C between the front plate 101 and the left plate 104.

[0058] The third continuous member 163 is connected to the rear plate 102 and the left plate 104 by two corresponding fold lines (163A, 163B). The third continuous member 163 has a 45-degree valley-shaped fold line 163C between the rear plate 102 and the left plate 104.

[0059] The fourth continuous member 164 connects the rear plate 102 and the right plate 105 by two corresponding fold lines (164A, 164B). The fourth continuous member 164 has a 45-degree valley-shaped fold line 164C between the rear plate 102 and the right plate 105.

[0060] In addition, blank 100 may also include two pairs of opposing left and right mating parts (171, 172; 173, 174) for better assembly of opposing upper and lower outer panels (320, 310) to reinforce the final structure of cardboard box 10.

[0061] The blank 100 may also include two corresponding opposing left and right mating parts (171, 172; 173, 174) at each of the opposing upper and lower outer plates (320, 310). Each of the corresponding opposing left and right mating parts (171, 172; 173, 174) includes an insertion slot (171A, 172A; 173A, 174A) such that when the blank 100 is folded into the box 10: By inserting the insertion slot 171A of the left mating member 171 of the outer upper plate 320 into the insertion slot 173A of the left mating member 173 of the outer lower plate 310, the left mating member 171 of the outer upper plate 320 is connected to the left mating member 173 of the outer lower plate 310.

[0062] Similarly, by inserting the insertion slot 172A of the right mating member 172 of the outer upper plate 320 into the insertion slot 174A of the right mating member 174 of the outer lower plate 310, the right mating member 172 of the outer upper plate 320 is connected to the right mating member 174 of the outer lower plate 310.

[0063] Optionally, the box 10 may include an inner peripheral base 40, wherein the inner peripheral base 40 is located in the cavity portion 30 at the bottom wall 13.

[0064] The inner peripheral base 40 can be attached to the bottom wall 13 on its side facing the bottom wall 13 to further secure the overall structure of the folded blank 100 into the cardboard box 10. Such attachments are typically provided with adhesive, either a uniform and continuous layer of adhesive, a patterned layer of adhesive, or an array of separate adhesive lines, spirals, or dots.

[0065] To accommodate the inner peripheral base 40, the outer left plate 340 may have a folding locking block 440 for forming the left tongue portion 44 of the inner peripheral base 40. The folding locking block 440 is connected to the outer left plate 340 at the fold line 144.

[0066] The outer right panel 350 may have a folding locking block 450 for forming the right tongue portion 45 of the inner peripheral base frame 40. The folding locking block 450 is connected to the outer right panel 350 at the fold line 145.

[0067] The outer lower plate 310 may have a folding locking block 410 for forming the front tongue portion 41 of the inner peripheral base frame 40. The folding locking block 410 is connected to the outer lower plate 310 at the fold line 141.

The lower longitudinal horizontal plane 32C of the inner rear wall 32 is higher than the lower longitudinal edge 32B of the inner rear wall 32. The lower longitudinal horizontal plane 32C of the inner rear wall 32 coincides with the tangent of the arc of the complete lower arc-shaped notch 502A.

[0074] The complete rectangular notch 501A at the rear frame portion 16B connects with the complete lower arc-shaped notch 502A at the inner rear wall 32. In other words, the complete rectangular notch 501A connects with the complete lower arc-shaped notch 502A at the upper longitudinal edge 32A of the inner rear wall 32.

[0075] The upper longitudinal edge 32A of the inner rear wall 32 coincides with the inner longitudinal edge of the rear frame portion 16B. The upper longitudinal edge 12A of the rear wall 12 coincides with the outer longitudinal edge of the rear frame portion 16B.

[0076] The second finger hook portion 51A can be a hole formed by a complete rectangular notch 511A and a complete lower arc-shaped notch 512A. The complete rectangular notch 511A of the second finger hook portion 51A can be provided on a portion of the front wall 11 and the front frame portion 16A. Preferably, the complete rectangular notch 511A of the second finger hook portion 51A can be provided only on a portion of the front frame portion 16A. More preferably, the complete rectangular notch 511A of the second finger hook portion 51A can be provided only on a portion of the front frame portion 16A extending from the upper longitudinal edge 11A of the front wall 11 to the upper longitudinal edge 31A of the inner front wall 31.

[0077] The complete lower arcuate notch 512A of the second finger hook portion 51A may also be provided on a portion of the inner front wall 31. The complete lower arcuate notch 512A of the second finger hook portion 51A includes an arc having an orientation toward the bottom wall 13.

The lower longitudinal horizontal plane 31C of the inner front wall 31 is higher than the lower longitudinal edge (31B, not shown) of the inner front wall 31. The lower longitudinal horizontal plane 31C of the inner front wall 31 coincides with the tangent of the arc of the complete lower arcuate notch 512A.

[0079] The complete rectangular notch 511A at the front frame portion 16A is connected to the complete lower arc-shaped notch 512A of the inner front wall 31. In other words, the complete rectangular notch 511A is connected to the complete lower arc-shaped notch 512A at the upper longitudinal edge 31A of the inner front wall 31.

[0080] The upper longitudinal edge 31A of the inner front wall 31 coincides with the inner longitudinal edge of the front frame portion 16A. The upper longitudinal edge 11A of the front wall 11 coincides with the outer longitudinal edge of the front frame portion 16A.

[0081] Soap 60 can apply some pressure to the inner front wall 31 and inner rear wall 32. At the locations of the first and second finger hook portions (50A, 51A), a counterforce having substantially the same direction parallel to the transverse axis T can be applied to prevent any deformation of the cardboard box 10.

[0082] When the first and second hook portions (50A, 51A) have the structure described above, the force is better distributed across the first and second hook portions (50A, 51A). The cardboard box 10 can deform slightly to withstand any force applied by the soap 60 to the front and rear inner walls (32, 32) of the cavity portion 30.

[0083] To provide the first aspect, for example, Figure 3As shown, the blank 100 may include a first hole 500A' for forming the first finger hook portion 50A. The first hole 500A' may be a cutting notch formed by a complete rectangular notch 501A' and a complete lower arc-shaped notch 502A'.

[0084] The complete rectangular notch 501A' of the first hole 500A' may be provided at a portion of the rear plate 102 and a portion of the wing 220 of the rear plate 102. Preferably, the complete rectangular notch 501A' of the first hole 500A' may be provided only at a portion of the wing 220 of the rear plate 102 extending from the eleventh fold line 122 of the rear plate 102 to the twelfth fold line 132 of the outer upper plate 320.

[0183] Folding method

[0185] As a first step, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the outer upper plate 320 needs to be folded onto the rear plate 102 by folding the eleventh fold line 122 of the rear plate 102 and the twelfth fold line 132 of the outer upper plate 320. The outer lower plate 310 also needs to be folded onto the front plate 101 by folding the ninth fold line 121 of the front plate 101 and the tenth fold line 131 of the outer lower plate 310.
