Packing case of corrugated cardboard for protecting objects in general, in particular for the braun coffee maker, with space for accessories above

Abstract

Packing case ( 10 ) of corrugated cardboard comprising, by extension of the two pairs of opposing walls, volumetric protective spacers ( 12, 14 ) for the object packed with its accessories, and closure bands ( 30, 31 ), a lower internal structure ( 90 ) with accommodation for the object to be packed and an upper internal structure ( 132 ) accommodating the two volumetric spacers so determining a greater degree of protection in the upper part of the case.

1 . Packing case, substantially parallelepiped, made of corrugated cardboard for protecting objects in general, in particular for the Braun coffee maker and its accessories,
 characterized in that it comprises the extensions of the two pairs of opposing walls of the case formed by substantially rectangular bands so creating, with said extensions and by repeatedly bending over the first pair of walls, protective volumes, here called spacers, for the packed object with its accessories, and also to obtain bands with which to close the case formed by extensions to the second pair of walls, and comprises a substantially rectangular lower structure that, when its longitudinal sides are bent back onto themselves, can accommodate the coffee maker, and comprises a substantially rectangular upper structure whose greater sides are bent at 90° and that, accommodating the two spacers, increases protection in the upper part of the case with its packaged contents, especially for the accessories of the Braun coffee maker.   
   
   
       2 . Packing case as in  claim 1 ,
 characterized in that the spacer-forming bands comprise three rectangular strips joined by bending creases, a first strip joined to the walls of the case will lie parallel to the base of the upper structure, a second strip will lie perpendicular to said base, and a third strip substantially the same size as the first strip, when bent back inside said spacers, will match with said base of the upper structure, there being made centrally in the bending crease between the first and second strips, a slit cut perpendicular to said crease, sufficiently wide to receive, when slightly pressed, the tongues formed at the ends of the closure bands.   
   
   
       3 . Packing case as in  claim 1 ,
 characterized in that each closure band comprises two substantially rectangular strips joined by bending creases, a first strip joined to the walls of the case and intended to lie above the spacers, of a width substantially half the width of the case, and a second strip at the ends of which are tongues of a width substantially corresponding to the length of the slits at the bending creases between the first and second spacer strips, there being substantially in the centre of said second strip, an arched slit for insertion of accessories for the packaged object, said accessories being placed on the upper structure.   
   
   
       4 . Packing case as in  claim 1 ,
 characterized in that the lower structure presents a rectangular base and two lateral bodies of a substantially square or rectangular cross section, obtained by bending back onto themselves at substantially 90° the ends of said base around five parallel bending creases, so forming five substantially rectangular strips, the terminal strips being superimposed and glued to the initial strips, the ends of the third strips, bent back inside at 90° for greater resistance to lateral shocks, the width of the fifth strip being greater than the width of the first strip in order to create, together with the bottom of the packing case, a further protective volume, there being made centrally in the second strips curved recesses for accommodating the ends of the body to be protected, in particular the ends of the Braun coffee maker.   
   
   
       5 . Packing case as in  claim 1 ,
 characterized in that the upper structure is made of corrugated cardboard bent in the shape of a “U” on its longitudinal edges, the dimensions of said edges substantially corresponding to the distance between the object packed in the lower structure and the upper end of the case, so creating a double wall along the longitudinal sides of said case.   
   
   
       6 . Packing case as in  claim 2 ,
 characterized in that, on the second strip of a spacer band an arched slit is made the radius of which substantially corresponds to the edge of a receptacle-shaped accessory of the Braun coffee maker.
