APRON Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B65D85/60 

FIELD: transport; packaging.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to package for candies or the like confectionary products and is intended to fix candies relative to the box in which those candies are stored, transported and shown. Apron includes cells 1 to arrange candies in them. Each cell has fixing surface 2, bottom 3 and rack 4. Rack 4 represents a cavity made at bottom 3 of the cell and having complex shape (cylinder and flattened cone) which is characterised with upper guide 5 in the form of closed curved line lying in bottom 3 plane of the cell and lower guide 6 in the form of closed curved line lying in the plane of the rack base 7. Apron cells are equal and located with possibility of being combined along vertical plane of cells of various aprons of stock pile on condition that each above located apron of stock pile is turned through α angle (α<360°) in its plane relative to the closest below located apron of stock pile. Such rotation of aprons in stock pile is possible due to the fact that cells of each separate apron are made so that there is such α angle of rotation of this apron in its plane (α<360°), at which for each i cell of apron there is appropriate j cell of apron, which is combined with the above i cell during rotation of apron through α angle. The required condition for providing the above gap in stock pile is racks of various cells of separate apron, which are different in plan view so that the shape of lower guide rack at least of one i cell and shape of upper guide rack of appropriate j cell do not coincide in plan view so that lines of the above shapes cross at least at two points.

EFFECT: apron design allows easy detachment of stock pile of aprons with maintaining shock-absorbing properties of their racks.
