Abstract
A container for foodstuffs and a method for manufacturing a container for foodstuffs having a box body made of a material based on paper; the box body being substantially a cup-shaped body formed by a base and a lateral wall; the lateral wall having a rim which delimits an access opening to said housing; the container having a symmetrical reinforcing rim with respect to a geometric centre and which has been cut from paper-based material in a sheet and has been fixed to the rim of the box body; the reinforcing rim being composed of a plurality of reinforcements joined at their respective ends and, in twos, mirror each other with respect to said geometric centre.
Claims13
A container for foodstuffs comprising
- a box body made of a material based on paper;
- the box body comprising a base having a first perimeter and a lateral wall, which is connected to the first perimeter of the base;
- wherein the base and the lateral wall form a cup-shaped body having a housing;
- the box body having a first rim, which delimits an access opening to said housing;
- the container comprising a second reinforcing rim having a symmetric shape in plan with respect to a geometric centre;
- wherein said second rim has been cut from a flat material based on paper and has been fixed to said box body so as to completely cover said first rim;
- wherein said second rim comprises a plurality of reinforcements in twos which mirror each other with respect to said geometric centre;
- wherein the plurality of reinforcements are two;
- wherein each reinforcement has substantially an L shape in plan;
- wherein said reinforcements are in contact with each other along a first junction line and a second junction line at two respective opposite corners of said second rim.
A manufacturing method of a container for foodstuffs comprising a box body made of a material based on paper;
- the box body comprising a base having a first perimeter and a lateral wall connected to the perimeter of the base;
- wherein the base and the lateral wall form a cup-shaped body having a housing;
- the box body having a first rim which delimits an access opening to said housing;
- the container comprising a second reinforcing rim cut from a flat material based on paper and having a symmetric shape in plan with respect to a geometric centre, the second rim comprising a plurality of reinforcements in twos which mirror each other with respect to said geometric centre;
- the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a box body;
- providing a plurality of reinforcements;
- assembling said reinforcements so as to form a closed geometrical shape, which corresponds substantially to said second rim;
- fixing said second rim to said first rim of the box body so as to completely cover said first rim;
- wherein the step of assembling comprises the sub-step of cutting two L-shaped reinforcements from the flat material based on paper;
- wherein during the step of cutting, short sides of the reinforcements are parallel and adjacent to each other, substantially in contact, so as to be cut from a cutting-die module with a substantially S-shape;
- and to perform a rototranslation of 180°, with respect to a support plane, of one of the two reinforcements with respect to an other of the two reinforcements, and
- wherein after the step of assembling, said reinforcements are in contact with each other along a first junction line and a second junction line at two respective opposite corners of said second rim.
