Abstract
A container obtained by folding a single flat blank of paper sheet material includes a plurality of hollow elements joined to each other in one piece, each of the hollow elements including a base and a lateral wall; the lateral wall emerges from the base and defines with this latter a seat configured to receive at least one product. The present disclosure also describes a process of making the container and to a use of the same, and also to a package and process of making the same.
Claims20
Container for housing one or more products is made by folding a single flat blank made of paper sheet material, said container comprising a plurality of hollow elements joined together in one piece, each hollow element of said plurality of hollow elements comprising:
- a base,
- a lateral wall emerging from the base and defining with the base a seat configured to receive at least one product, the lateral wall defining an opening delimited by a free edge and configured to allow the introduction and withdrawal of the at least one product from said seat,
- an outer edge with a closed profile, opposed to the bases of the plurality of hollow elements and delimiting an upper access of the container, in which the seats of the plurality of hollow elements are defined within said outer edge,
- at least one panel joined in one piece to at least one part of the outer edge of the container, wherein said panel is placed at least partly outside the seats of the plurality of hollow elements, and wherein the panel is fixed to the lateral wall at an area distinct and distanced from the outer edge.
Container for housing one or more products, said container comprising a plurality of hollow elements joined together in one piece, each hollow element of said plurality of hollow elements comprising:
- a base,
- a lateral wall emerging from the base and defining with the base a seat configured to receive at least one product, the lateral wall defining an opening delimited by a free edge and configured to allow the introduction and withdrawal of the at least one product from said seat,
- an outer edge with a closed profile, opposed to the bases of the plurality of hollow elements and delimiting an upper access of the container, in which the seats of the plurality of hollow elements are defined within said outer edge,
- at least one panel joined in one piece to at least one part of the outer edge of the container, wherein said panel comprises a first coupling portion and is placed at least partly outside the seats of the plurality of hollow elements,
- a second coupling portion configured to cooperate with the first coupling portion of the panel in a second operating condition of the panel,
- wherein the panel is hinged to a section of the outer edge, said panel and the outer edge are relatively movable by rotation, between:
- a first operating position in which the panel allows communication between the openings of the plurality of hollow elements and the external environment to define an opening condition of the container to allow the withdrawal and insertion of products,
- the second operating position in which the panel is arranged above the openings of the plurality of hollow elements partly occluding the openings to define a closing condition of the container suitable to prevent the removal from and insertion of products into said aperture, wherein the first and second coupling portions, in the second operating position of the panel, are configured to engage each other to lock the panel in the second operating position and thus keep the container in the closed condition,
- wherein the container is made by folding a single flat blank made of paper sheet material.
Container for housing one or more products made by folding a single flat blank made of paper sheet material, said container comprising a plurality of hollow elements joined together in one piece, each hollow element of said plurality of hollow elements comprising:
- a base,
- a lateral wall emerging from the base and defining with the base a seat configured to receive at least one product, the lateral wall defining an opening delimited by a free edge and configured to allow the introduction and withdrawal of the at least one product from said seat,
- an outer edge with a closed profile, opposed to the bases of the plurality of hollow elements and delimiting an upper access of the container, in which the seats of the plurality of hollow elements are defined within said outer edge,
- at least one panel joined in one piece to at least one part of the outer edge of the container, wherein said panel is placed at least partly outside the seats of the plurality of hollow elements,
- wherein the panel is directly constrained to the lateral wall of at least one hollow element, wherein the panel lies on a plane parallel to a lying plane of the lateral wall directly carrying said panel to which said panel is directly joined in one piece.
