The invention relates to a tray for transporting and displaying items such as yogurt containers. The tray is of the type comprising a bottom wall (1), side walls (2, 3, 4, 5) perpendicular to the bottom (1) and side flaps (27) enabling the attachment of a first wall (2, 4) to the adjacent wall (3, 5
The invention relates to a tray for transporting and displaying items such as yogurt containers. The tray is of the type comprising a bottom wall (1), side walls (2, 3, 4, 5) perpendicular to the bottom (1) and side flaps (27) enabling the attachment of a first wall (2, 4) to the adjacent wall (3, 5), each flap being hingedly connected to the side edge of the first wall (2, 4) and attached to the following wall (3, 5). According to the invention, the hinged connection of the side flap (27) to the first wall is provided by an interface area (16) in the shape of a triangle the apex (17) of which points toward the free upper edge (31, 32) of the two consecutive side walls (2, 3, 4, 5) and the base (18) of which rests on the bottom wall (1), this triangular interface area (16) being slanted from its base (18) to the apex (17) toward the outside of the outline defined by the bottom wall (1). The invention can be used for trays for transporting products such as yogurt containers.

1.

1. Tray for transporting and displaying items such as yogurt containers, obtained by folding a blank of corrugated cardboard having a rectangular shape, of the type comprising a bottom wall having a rectangular outline (1) and attachment flaps (27) providing the attachment of a first end wall (2, 4) to the adjacent, respective side wall (3, 5), each attachment flap (27) being hingedly connected to the side edge of the first end wall (2, 4) and attached to the adjacent side wall (3, 5), characterized in that the hinged connection of an attachment flap (27) to a first end wall (2, 4) is provided by an interface area (16) interposed between two consecutive side and end walls (2, 3), (4, 5), the area (16) being in the shape of a triangle the apex (17) of which points toward a free upper edge (31, 32) of the two consecutive side and end walls (2, 3), (4, 5) and the base (18) of which rests on the bottom wall (1), the triangular interface area (16) being inclined from the base (18) to the apex (17) toward the outside of the outline defined by the bottom wall (1) and further characterized in that the tray comprises stacking lugs (54) each extending above the interface area (16), a portion of the bottom wall (1) on which the interface area (16) rests being cut along the base (18) of the interface area (16) so as to leave a receiving space free for a stacking lug of a second, underlying tray. 2. Tray as set forth in claim 1, characterized in that each stacking lug (54) is formed by a part of the blank extending beyond the interface area (16) on either side of the apex (17) of interference area (16), the part of the blank defining two perpendicular cardboard sections (56, 57) extending respectively in an extension of the two consecutive side walls (2, 3, 4, 5) between which the interface area (16) is interposed. 3. Tray as set forth in claim 2, characterized in that a free side edge (58) of each section (56, 57) of the lug (54) is parallel to the adjacent lateral side (19, 20) of the triangular interface area (16) so as to enable application against the interface area (16) of an identical second tray above said tray within a stack. 4. Tray as set forth in claim 3, characterized in that the side walls (3, 5) are shorter than the end walls (2, 4) and the two shorter opposed side walls (3, 5) each comprises a cutout (64) made in the lower part of the side wall (3, 5), the lower part of the side wall (3, 5) arranged above the cutout serving as a grip strip (66) for a user. 5. Tray as set forth in claim 4, characterized in that the grip strip (66) of each shorter side wall (3, 5) comprises a double thickness of blank and is derived from the folding onto itself of a second flap for forming said side wall, which comprises a double fold line (68), the sidewall and flap forming two parts, and the two parts of which extending from each side of the double line are provided with grip cutouts (64, 70) which match each other when the flap is folded onto the sidewall. 6. Tray as set forth in claim 5, characterized in that the cutout (64, 70) is formed from the lower edge of the short sidewall (3, 5). 7. Tray as set forth in claim 6, characterized in that end walls (2,4) are longer than the end walls (3,5) and the two longer opposed end walls of the tray (2, 4) are provided with second lugs (60) extending above a plane of these longer walls (2, 4) and with complementary notches (61) made directly below each lug (60) within the end wall (2, 4) and the bottom wall (1). 8. Tray as set forth in claim 7, characterized in that the longer end walls (2, 4) comprise on their length openings for the visibility and aeration of the products (71). 9. Tray as set forth in claim 8, characterized in that the two longer end walls (2, 4), the attachment flaps (27) attaching the longer end walls (2, 4) to the shorter side walls (3, 5) and the interface areas (16) have the same height, said height being greater than that of the short walls (3, 5). 10. Tray as set forth in claim 1, characterized in that the tray comprises stacking lugs (7) each formed on the attachment flap (27) providing the attachment of adjacent walls (2, 4; 3, 5).
