Abstract
The present invention relates to a cardboard pallet-like container which also acts as an exhibitor. The container is obtained from a single sheet of die-cut and folded cardboard by means of which the entire structure is obtained. The container is a parallelepiped which is cut, on each lateral face, along a diagonal so as to obtain a base semi-container provided with legs and a top semi-container which can be fitted over the base semi-container.
Claims19
A container/exhibitor constituted by a hollow parallelepiped box made from a single sheet of cardboard, die-cut and folded along folding guides with front, rear, side, top and bottom faces, the sheet being rectangular and including first opposite sides and second opposite sides delimited by respective ones of said folding guides, said first sides being foldable to form the rear face of the body and said second sides being foldable to form the top and, respectively, the bottom face of the body, the container/exhibitor comprising:
- tearing guides provided along a contour line defined by a slant section plane which intersects an upper part of the rear face, the side faces and a lower part of the front face of said body;
- a base semi-container;
- a top semi-container which is coupleable to said base semi-container said top and base semi-containers being formed through division of said body at said tearing guides, said base semi-container having an upper peripheral edge delimiting a low front wall and a high rear wall joined by opposite side walls thereof, and said top semi-container having a complementary lower peripheral edge delimiting corresponding front, rear and side walls thereof;
- edge slots, provided at vertical edges of said body so as to intersect said tearing guides and to enable widening of one of said peripheral edges for mutual coupling of said top and base semi-containers by partial overlapping;
- and
- supporting legs, provided at the bottom face of said base semi-container, which are formed by folding dedicated portions of said second sides of the sheet along folding guides thereof.

A container/exhibitor for transportation and exhibition of products, comprising:
- a hollow, parallelepiped body which has front, rear, top, bottom and side faces;
- tearing guides provided at said body along a contour line defined by a slant section plane which intersects an upper part of the rear face, the side faces and a lower part of the front face of said body;
- edge slots, provided at vertical edges of said body so as to intersect said tearing guides;
- and
- supporting legs, provided at the bottom face of said body;
- wherein said body and said supporting legs are formed in a single sheet of die-cut cardboard which has dedicated portions thereof folded along folding guides,
- and wherein said body constitutes, by separation along said tearing guides, a top semi-container and a base semi-container, with said base semi-container having an upper peripheral edge and said top semi-container having a complementary lower peripheral edge,
- and wherein said top and base semi-containers are coupleable to each other through widening of one of said peripheral edges and partial overlapping, said peripheral edge widening being enabled by said edge slots.

- edge slots, provided at vertical edges of said body so as to intersect said tearing guides;
- and
- supporting legs, provided at the bottom face of said body;
- wherein said body constitutes, by separation along said tearing guides, a base semi-container having an upper peripheral edge delimiting a low front wall and a high rear wall joined by opposite side walls thereof, and a top semi-container having a complementary lower peripheral edge delimiting corresponding front, rear and side walls thereof;
- and wherein said body and said supporting legs are formed in a single sheet of die-cut cardboard which comprises a side central portion arranged at a side region thereof and which forms by folding the bottom face of said parallelepiped body, first and second dedicated portions which are provided at sides of said central portion and have folding guides comprising parallel pressed lines, said first and second dedicated portions being folded along said parallel pressed lines to provide said supporting legs,
- and wherein said top and base semi-containers are coupleable to each other through widening of one of said peripheral edges and partial overlapping, said peripheral edge widening being enabled by said edge slots.
