Detailed description the present preferred embodiment
Referring now to 1 For example, an exploded view of the present invention will be explained. Special is a container 10 provided, which is a lower part 12 and a frame 14 includes. The lower part 12 and the frame 14 are preferably made from a paper product, such as paperboard, wherein the individual parts are cut in the plane and, as is well known in the art, are folded and formed, for example with a suitable adhesive. It should be recognized that the lower part 12 and the frame 14 can also be made of other materials, such as plastic, metal or wood. Furthermore, the lower part 12 and the frame 14 from the same or from ver be made of different materials.
In one embodiment, the lower part comprises 12 a variety of side walls 16 , a back wall 18 , a floor 20 and a front wall 22 , In the design puts the front wall 22 an opening 24 firmly. In another embodiment, only the front wall lays the opening 24 firmly. In the illustrated embodiment, the opening 24 set as a rectangular slot, although a number of forms can be used. Although the opening 24 shown horizontally, the slot can be 24 also be arranged vertically or fixed at a predetermined angle. The size of the lower part is prescribed in part by the product to be accommodated.
The frame 14 includes side walls 26 , a back wall 28 and a floor 30 , In addition, the frame includes 14 an element 32 , As shown, the element 32 constructed to from the opening 24 of the lower part 12 to be taken in and guided by them. The element 32 is preferred to the ground 30 of the frame 14 connected. But in one embodiment, the element is on a sidewall 26 attached, in which case the opening 24 is arranged vertically. It should be recognized that the frame 14 no solid or solid side walls 26 or back wall 28 must have; rather, the frame can 14 alternatively be part or all of a frame construction, which has the same shape as the frame shown 14 outlines, however, has one or more material-saving holes or openings which are defined by the walls. The floor 30 is preferably solid or consists of a framework extending perpendicular to the array of product units (described below) so that the framework adequately supports the products.
The element 32 preferably comprises a plurality of element parts 34 , perforations 36a . 36b and 36c Separate or connect the element parts preferably. Although three perforations are shown, more or fewer perforations may be appropriate. In one embodiment, a perforation separates 36c the element 32 and the floor 30 , Alternatively, it's on the ground 30 adjacent part 34 in the ground 30 integrated or otherwise permanently connected. It should be recognized that the element 32 including the parts 34 is flexible and foldable and is preferably bent or folded without damaging the integrity or strength of the element.
Referring now to 2 illustrates the top view of an assembled container 10 in the lower part 12 inserted frame 14 so the sidewalls 26 of the frame 14 tight, but sliding, inside the sidewalls 16 of the lower part 12 are fitted. The transitional fit ensures that the back wall 28 of the frame 14 during the movement of the frame 14 relative to the lower part 12 essentially parallel to the back wall 18 of the lower part 12 remains. The transitional fit also preferably provides a frictional force between the sidewalls 16 of the lower part and the side walls 26 of the frame 14 , The frictional force helps the frame 14 to hold it in place, ie to prevent it from loosening to preserve the product arrangement. The floor 30 of the frame 14 slidably adjoins the ground 20 of the lower part 12 , what in 3 is further illustrated.
As shown, there is a plurality of element parts 34 of the element 32 within the lower part 12 , a variety of element parts 34 outside the base 12 and an element part 34 both inside and outside the base 12 , When the container 10 is completely filled with products, borders the back wall 28 of the frame 14 preferably to the rear wall 18 of the lower part 12 and is attached to her. At this time, most parts are 34 of the element within the base 12 , At least one piece of a single piece 34 is preferably uncovered at the beginning. The container 10 is designed while the product is consumed to allow a consumer the frame 14 to the front wall 22 of the lower part 12 move towards it, taking additional parts 34 of the element 32 be exposed.
If the consumer is the element 32 grasp and pull, move the frame 14 and the element towards the front wall 22 and a part 34 is completely exposed, ie a perforation, a part 34 with the element 32 connects is exposed. The consumer can then use the completely uncovered part 34 from the element 32 tear off at its associated perforation line. In a preferred embodiment, the length of a part corresponds 34 essentially the width of the products shown below, allowing the pulling of the item 32 about the length of a part 34 consumes the space of a removed product unit. This way is the number of parts 34 preferably equal to the number of product units, the removal of each product unit enabling a part to be grasped, pulled and removed.
Referring now to 3 illustrates the top view of an assembled container 10 in the lower part 12 inserted frame 14 so the sidewalls 26 of the frame 14 tight inside the side walls 16 of the lower part 12 are fitted. A variety of product units 40 is essentially vertical within the frame 14 arranged. The container 10 alternatively includes keeping other units with one essentially square cross section. The container 10 Alternatively, it further includes being operatively arranged vertically such that gravity forces the product units 40 against the front wall 22 of the bottom part, and so that the product units 40 arranged horizontally in this way.
The removal of a product unit 40 creates space between the front wall 22 of the lower part 12 and the back wall 28 of the frame 14 and play between the product units 40 , The remaining upright units 40 can tilt or shift. The element 32 allows the consumer or user of the product units 40 , the frame 14 on one or more of the element parts 34 to grasp or to grasp and the element 32 and the floor 30 (covered with product units 40 ), both with the frame 14 connected through the opening 24 (please refer 1 ) of the front wall 22 to draw. Certain parts 34 of the element 32 and the ground 30 Accordingly, they are movable or sliding on the ground 20 of the lower part 12 at. The element 32 is preferably thick enough, for example 0.64 mm (0.025 inch), and made of a suitable material so as not to break during drawing and the weight of the product units 40 to wear. The perforations 36 also consist of a suitable amount of unslotted material so as not to break during drawing and the weight of the product units 40 to wear. As shown, other parts border 34 of the element 32 not movable or sliding to the ground 20 are open and free and are available to a consumer or user to grasp or grasp.
If the user or consumer the frame 14 to the front wall 22 of the lower part 12 moves or hinscht, the area between the rear wall increases 28 of the frame 14 and the back wall 18 of the lower part 12 ie the area of the uncovered side walls 16 , If the consumer the frame 14 moves, touches the back wall 28 a product unit 40 and exerts a force on the product unit 40 out. While the consumer the frame 14 moved on, move the product units 40 and touch each other until no free space or play created by the removed unit remains. At this point, the product units can 40 do not move further, as the front wall 22 an equal and opposite force on the product units 40 exercises. The compressive force preserves the remaining product units 40 in their packaged, for example, upright, arrangement. The present invention makes it possible to repeat the above process for a plurality of product unit withdrawals, ie, until no part of the frame 14 more through the opening 24 the front wall goes through.
3 illustrates that a variety of product units 40 from the container 10 were removed, leaving part of the soil 20 of the lower part is visible. There is also a large number of parts 34 of the element 32 passing through perforations 36a and 36b are separated, free and available to a consumer for grasping and gripping the frame 14 continue to the front wall 22 of the lower part 12 pull out.
The exposed area of the element 32 and the parts 34 thereof illustrate another feature of the present invention. The element 32 contains one or more parts 34 that include a value representing item with a note. In one embodiment, the value representing item is a coupon. In the present presentation, each part contains 34 a separate value representing item. The tag of the value representing item may be the same item representing different value as indicated by the tag 42a illustrated on two separate parts 34 appears. The note of the value representing objects may also be different for different value representing objects, such as by the endorsements 42a and 42b illustrated on two different parts 34 appear. The value-representing articles of the present invention include any type of item or coupon known in the art, for example, product discounts, product gifts, giveaways, contests, etc. Although not shown, the present invention also includes two or more pieces 34 with endorsements that in combination constitute a value representing object.
When a value-representing object is exposed, ie when one or more parts 34 the consumer may present the value representing item along the perforation line from the remaining item 32 demolish and redeem the value representing item for its value. The container 10 provides a method of distributing value representing items that informs the user of the usage of the product units 40 rewarded. Further, the value-representing items encourage the consumer to postpone the frame after consumption of a product.
In an alternative embodiment, the front wall lays 22 of the lower part 12 a plurality of vertically arranged openings 24 firmly, similar to the shape of the in 1 are shown opening. The frame 14 contains sidewalls 26 extending horizontally beyond the bottom of the frame to form two tabs. The tabs or strips contain perforated value-representing article parts at their ends. The vertically arranged openings 24 the side walls 26 Take the tabs or strips carrying the value representing items, which are outside of the base 12 extend.
This embodiment operates in much the same way as disclosed above. After a product unit is removed from the alternative container, the consumer grips or grips the exposed flaps or strips of the sidewalls 26 and pulls the frame 14 including its back wall 28 against the remaining product that shifts to fill the free space or clearance left by the removed unit. Finally, the entire room or the entire game is eliminated, making the back wall 28 and the front wall 22 compress the remaining product units and keep their packaged arrangement. The side walls 26 of the frame 14 are tight inside the sidewalls 16 of the lower part 12 fitted, so that their intervention generates a friction or holding force, which contributes to the frame 14 to prevent it from dissolving.
In a further alternative embodiment, the back panel includes a tab or handle that extends over the product and an open or uncovered portion of the frame 14 the consumer uses to squeeze and remove free space and play caused by the removal of a product unit. The parts 34 of the element 12 Therefore, it is not necessary to remove the space or play from the product of the container, but are preferably included to provide value-representing items. The parts 34 can therefore be made of a thinner material. As before, the side walls 26 of the frame 14 preferably tight within the sidewalls 16 of the lower part 12 fitted, so that their intervention generates a friction or holding force, which contributes to the frame 14 to prevent it from dissolving.
