Abstract

A carrying and holding device comprising a plate or the like having provision for receiving a cup or the like, especially a fruit or yogurt cup and including laterally bent up edge portions to secure the cup for storage in groups within boxes. The carrying device is formed from a flat sheet of cardboard or the like which is folded to form a rectangular case with a recess for the cup, the spacing between two facing edges of the recess being less than the diameter of the cup so as to be deformed to hold the rim of the cup while gripping its side wall.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Trag- oder Haltevorrichtung mit einer Hülse, beispielsweise aus Karton, und wenigstens einer darin vorgesehenen Aufnahmeausnehmung für einen Becher oder ein entsprechendes Gefäß, insbesondere für einen Frucht-oder Joghurtbecher, mit seitlich abkragenden Randteilen od. dgl.The invention relates to a carrying or holding device with a sleeve, for example made of cardboard, and at least one receiving recess provided therein for a cup or a corresponding vessel, in particular for a fruit or yoghurt cup, with laterally projecting edge parts or the like.

Es sind Traghülsen mit mehreren nebeneinander angeordneten kreisrunden Ausnehmungen.bekannt, in welche Eis- oder Joghurtbecher eingeführt und durch ihren Ringrand gehalten werden; dieser ruht rundum auf dem die Ausnehmung begrenzenden Rand, wobei der Durchmesser der Ausnehmung dem Außendurchmesser des Bechers unterhalb des Ringrandes etwa entspricht.Carrier sleeves with a plurality of circular recesses arranged next to one another are known, into which ice or yoghurt cups are inserted and held by their ring edge; this rests all around on the edge delimiting the recess, the diameter of the recess roughly corresponding to the outer diameter of the cup below the ring edge.

Auch ist es üblich, Eis- oder Joghurtbecher in Steigen mit Innenausfachung zur Fixierung der Becher unterzubringen. Solche Innenausfachungen können auch in der Form von Tragplatten ausgeführt sein.It is also common to place ice cream or yoghurt cups in crates with internal compartments for fixing the cups. Such internal infills can also be designed in the form of support plates.

Angesichts dieser Gegebenheiten hat sich der Erfinder das Ziel gesetzt, eine Trag- oder Haltevorrichtung insbesondere für Frucht-, Eis- oder Joghurtbecher zu schaffen, in welcher diese problemlos fixiert und in Gruppen auch in Steigen untergebracht werden können, in denen die Becher problemlos zu fixieren sind. Darüber hinaus soll diese Trag- oder Haltevorrichtung preiswert herzustellen sein.In view of these circumstances, the inventor has set itself the goal of creating a carrying or holding device, in particular for fruit, ice cream or yoghurt cups, in which these can be fixed without problems and can also be accommodated in groups in crates in which the cups can be fixed without problems are. In addition, this carrying or holding device should be inexpensive to manufacture.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe führt, daß die Hülse mit einer die Ausnehmung/en aufweisenden Platte versehen ist, wobei der Abstand zweier gegenüberliegender Stellen der Ausnehmungskanten kürzer ist als die Außenweite des sie berührenden Bereiches des Bechers und jene Ausnehmungskanten kurzzeitig verformbar ausgebildet sind. Dabei haben sich Ausnehmungen mit zwei -- wenigstens in einem bestimmten Bereich -- in jenem Abstand gegenüberliegenden Ausnehmungskanten als günstig erwiesen, welche jeweils von einem Materialstreifen mit wenigstens einem zum Becher radialen Randschnitt gebildet sind.To achieve this object, the sleeve is provided with a plate having the recess (s), the distance between two opposite points of the recess edges being shorter than the outer width of the region of the cup touching them and those recess edges being designed to be deformable for a short time. Recesses with two - at least in a certain area - opposite recess edges at that distance have proven to be advantageous, each of which is formed by a material strip with at least one radial cut to the cup.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung liegt auch ein Zuschnitt für jene Tragvorrichtung in Form eines Streifens aus Karton oder einem entsprechendem Werkstoff, der durch parallele Knicklinien in zwei schmale Randstreifen und zwischen diesen vorgesehene Flächen mit von diesen beidseits benachbartem Mittelstreifen unterteilt ist und dessen eine Fläche wenigstens eine der Ausnehmungen mit zumindest einem -- oben näher definierten -- Durchmesser aufweist, der geringer ist als der maximale Außendurchmesser des Bechers und von flexiblen Rahmenteilen begrenzt wird.Within the scope of the invention there is also a blank for that carrying device in the form of a strip of cardboard or a corresponding material, which is divided by parallel folding lines into two narrow edge strips and surfaces provided between them with center strips adjacent to these on both sides and one surface of which is at least one of the Recesses with at least one - defined in more detail above - diameter that is less than the maximum outer diameter of the cup and is limited by flexible frame parts.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung besteht also im wesentlichen bevorzugtermaßen aus Karton und wird in einfacher Weise aus einem Streifen hergestellt, in welchen nach vorstehender Maßgabe Knicklinien eingeprägt worden sind.Such a device consists essentially preferably of cardboard and is produced in a simple manner from a strip in which according to the above Required crease lines have been impressed.

Im Hinblick auf den Wunsch nach einfacher Herstellung wird dabei eine derartige Hülse mit rechteckigem Querschnitt -- also zueinander parallelen Hauptflächen einerseits und Seitenwänden andererseits -- bevorzugt, jedoch sind auch andere Querschnittsformen möglich. Auch hat es sich als günstig erwiesen, rechteckige, insbesondere quadratische, Ausnehmungen zu verwenden, ohne daß die Erfindung auf diese bevorzugten Formen begrenzt wäre.In view of the desire for simple manufacture, a sleeve of this type with a rectangular cross section - that is to say parallel main surfaces on the one hand and side walls on the other - is preferred, but other cross-sectional shapes are also possible. It has also proven to be advantageous to use rectangular, in particular square, recesses, without the invention being limited to these preferred shapes.

Die -- bei zylindrischen Bechern-- radialen Randschnitte unterteilen die seitlichen Material- oder Rahmenstreifen in mehrere Abschnitte; letztere ermöglichen es, daß beim Aufdrücken des Bechers auf die jene Ausnehmungen enthaltende Fläche der Becher durch die zur Seite weichenden Streifenabschnitte problemlos in die Ausnehmung eingeführt werden kann, und daß jene Rahmenteile dank der Rückstellkraft des Materials in ihre Ausgangslage zurückzukehren trachten und dabei -- gehindert durch die anliegende Becherwandung -- in der Art von Haltezungen zum Becherrand hin stehenbleiben.In the case of cylindrical cups, the radial edge cuts divide the lateral material or frame strips into several sections; the latter make it possible that when the cup is pressed onto the surface containing those recesses, the cup can easily be inserted into the recess through the strip sections which move to the side, and that those frame parts try to return to their starting position thanks to the restoring force of the material and thereby - hindered through the adjacent cup wall - stop in the manner of holding tongues towards the cup rim.

So hat es sich als günstig erwiesen, daß die Hülse eine dr Platte gegenüberliegende weitere Platte oder Fläche sowie diese beiden Flächen verbindende schmale Seitenwände aufweist, deren Höhe geringfügig größer ist als die Breite der an die Seitenwände anschließenden Material- oder Rahmenstreifen. Letztere werden durch die erwähnten Randschnitte unterteilt und durch Querstreifen verbunden, zwischen den und den Materialstreifen Biegelinien verlaufen.It has proven to be advantageous that the sleeve has a further plate or surface opposite the plate and narrow side walls connecting these two surfaces, the height of which is slightly greater than the width of the material or frame strips adjoining the side walls. The latter are subdivided by the edge cuts mentioned and connected by transverse strips, with bending lines running between the and the material strips.

Die den Ausnehmungen in Abstand gegenüberliegende Platte ist erfindungsgemäß als Widerlager für die Ränder der Becher gedacht; die Querstreifen werden durch den Becherrand an die Innenflächen jener Platte herangeführt und liegen in Gebrauchslage der Vorrichtung zwischen dem Becherrand und der Widerlagerplatte.The plate opposite the recesses at a distance is intended according to the invention as an abutment for the edges of the cups; the transverse strips are brought through the cup edge to the inner surfaces of that plate and lie in the position of use of the device between the cup edge and the abutment plate.

Ist der Becher in die Hülse eingeführt und sind deren Rahmenstreifen und Seitenwände hierdurch zueinander geneigt worden, so bildet jede Seitenwand der Hülse mit dem benachbarten Materialstreifen und einem darüberliegenden Teil der Widerlagerplatte ein wulstartiges und hohles Randprofil, welches im bevorzugten Beispiel einen dreieckigen -- statisch besonders günstigen -- Querschnitt hat.If the cup inserted into the sleeve and are thus inclined to one another whose frame strip and side walls, the sleeve with the adjacent e n material strip and an overlying part of the abutment plate, each side wall forms a bead-like and hollow edge profile, which has a triangular preferred example - statically particularly favorable - cross section.

Der eingebrachte Becher verformt erfindungsgemäß das Randprofil bzw. dessen Rahmenstreifen zumindest im Bereich der Randschnitte, da dort die Becherwandung dem Rahmenstreifen anliegt und ihn nach außen drückt.The introduced cup deforms according to the invention the edge profile or its frame strip at least in the area of ndschnitte Ra, since there the cup wall abutting the frame strip and pushes it to the outside.

Um eine problemlose Überführung der ungebrauchten Hülse in deren Gebrauchsgestalt zu ermöglichen, sind die Biegelinien zwischen den Rahmenstreifen einerseits und den Querstreifen andererseits in den Karton- oder Zuschnittstreifen entgegengesetzt zu den erwähnten Knicklinien eingeprägt; letztere sind alle in einer gemeinsamen Preßrichtung eingeprägt.In order to enable a problem-free transfer of the unused sleeve into its usage configuration, the bending lines between the frame strips on the one hand and the transverse strips on the other hand are embossed in the cardboard or blanking strips in the opposite direction to the mentioned folding lines; the latter are all stamped in a common pressing direction.

Von besonderer Bedeutung für die Erfindung ist die Einfach- heit des Zuschnittes, welcher zum einen den Unteransprüchen sowie zum anderen der nachfolgenden Beschreibung der Zeichnung zu entnehmen ist.Of particular importance to the invention, the single he is it the blank which on the one hand in the subclaims and the other of the following description of the drawing it can be seen.

Further advantages, features and details of the invention result from the following description of a preferred exemplary embodiment and from the drawing; this shows in
  • 1: the top view of a cardboard blank for a cup carrier;
  • 2: the end view of a cup carrier;
  • 3: an oblique view of the cup carrier in a changed position compared to FIG. 2;
  • Fig. 4: the cross section through Fig. 3 along the line III - III with an additional attached - not cut - cup.

Ein Kartonstreifen 1 der Breite b von beispielsweise 160 mm ist durch Knicklinien 2 in zwei schmale Randstreifen 3 der Höhe i von etwa 12 mm und zwei jeweils an diese angrenzende sowie durch einen schmalen Mittelstreifen 4 verbundene Felder 5, 6 unterteilt.A cardboard strip 1 of width b of 160 mm, for example, is divided by kink lines 2 into two narrow edge strips 3 of height i of approximately 12 mm and two fields 5, 6 adjacent to each other and connected by a narrow central strip 4.

Die Höhe h der Felder 5, 6 beträgt etwa 80 mm, während die Höhe k jedes Mittelstreifens 4 nur geringfügig größer ist als die Höhe i der Randstreifen 3.The height h of the fields 5, 6 is approximately 80 mm, while the height k of each median strip 4 is only slightly greater than the height i of the marginal strips 3.

Das eine Feld 5 ist unversehrt, während im anderen Feld 6 durch zwei parallel zu den es begrenzenden Knicklinien 2 sowie in einem Abstand e von etwa 10 mm dazu verlaufenden Biegelinien 8 zwei Rahmenränder 9 gebildet sind. Diese werden durch zwei Querrahmenteile 10 etwa gleicher Breite f und ein Mittelrahmenteil 11 einer Breite c so miteinander verbunden, daß zwischen den Rahmenteilen 9, 10, 11 zwei Ausschnitte 12 quadratischen Grundrisses einer Höhe a von etwa 55 mm verbleiben, welche durch Schnittlinien 13, 14 entstehen. Die Schnittlinien 14 fallen mit Abschnitten der Biegelinie 8 zusammen (Fig. 1).One field 5 is undamaged, while in the other field 6 there are two parallel to the kink lines 2 bounding it and at a distance e of about 10 mm Bending lines 8 two frame edges 9 are formed. These are connected to one another by two transverse frame parts 10 of approximately the same width f and a central frame part 11 of a width c such that between the frame parts 9, 10, 11 two cutouts 12 of a square outline of a height a of approximately 55 mm remain, which are shown by cutting lines 13, 14 arise. The cutting lines 14 coincide with sections of the bending line 8 (FIG. 1).

Die beiden Randstreifen 3 werden aufeinander gelegt und miteinander verklebt, so daß aus dem Kartonstreifen 1 nach Fig. 2 eine Kartonhülse 20 quaderförmigen Umrisses entsteht.The two edge strips 3 are placed on top of one another and glued to one another, so that a cardboard tube 20 of rectangular shape is produced from the cardboard strip 1 according to FIG.

Wird auf das Feld 6 ein Fruchtbecher 30 mit auskragendem Ringrand 32 vom Radius r (beispielsweise 35 mm) aufgesetzt und in Pfeilrichtung x gegen die Kartonhülse 20 gedrückt, werden die Rahmenränder 9 nach unten und die Hülsenseiten 21 nach innen geneigt. Jeder der Rahmenränder 9 ist durch in der Querachse 0 der Ausschnitte 12 vorgesehene Randschnitte 15 geteilt. Der drückende Becherrand 32 -- dessen Kontur 31 in Fig. 1 vor dem Anbringen der Kartonhülse 20 dargestellt ist -- führt die Teile 9a, 9b bzw. 9b, 9c der Rahmenränder 9 auseinander. Diese lassen den Becherrand 32 gemäß Fig. 2, 3 passieren und schnappen anschließend über diesem zusammen. Da die Wandung 33 des Bechers 30 die Rahmenränder 9 so geneigt hält, daß sie mit den Hülsenseiten 21 und einem Teil der Fläche 5 stabile Randwülste 22 (Fig. 4) dreieckigen Querschnittes bilden, hält die verformte Kartonhülse 20 den/die Fruchtbecher 30 ohne weitere Mittel fest; die Mittelachse M des Fruchtbechers 30 ist lotrecht zur Fläche 5 fixiert; letztere schütztdie -- übersichtlichkeitshalber nicht dargestellte - Abdeckfolie des Fruchtbechers 30 vor Beschädigungen und dient zudem mit ihrer Oberfläche 25 als Reklameträger.If a fruit cup 30 with a projecting ring edge 32 of radius r (for example 35 mm) is placed on the field 6 and pressed in the direction of the arrow x against the cardboard tube 20, the frame edges 9 are inclined downwards and the tube sides 21 are inclined inwards. Each of the frame edges 9 is divided by edge cuts 15 provided in the transverse axis 0 of the cutouts 12. The pressing cup edge 32 - the contour 31 of which is shown in FIG. 1 before the cardboard sleeve 20 is attached - leads the parts 9a, 9b and 9b, 9c of the frame edges 9 apart. These allow the cup rim 32 to pass according to FIGS. 2, 3 and then snap together over it. Since the wall 33 of the cup 30 keeps the frame edges 9 inclined so that they form stable edge beads 22 (FIG. 4) with a triangular cross section with the sleeve sides 21 and part of the surface 5, the deformed cardboard sleeve 20 holds the / the fruit cup 30 without further notice Medium firm; the central axis M of the fruit cup 30 is fixed perpendicular to the surface 5; the latter protects the - For the sake of clarity not shown - cover film of the fruit cup 30 from damage and also serves with its surface 25 as an advertising medium.

Die Schnittlinien 14 können gemäß Kontur 14 in Fig. 1 um ein Scheitelmaß t von beispielsweise 2 mm von der Geraden 14 zur benachbarten Knicklinie 2 hin gekrümmt sein, damit die von den Schnittlinien 14kerzeugten Schnittkanten auch bei starker Ausbiegung des Rahmenrandes 9 durch den Rand 32 des Fruchtbechers, der Bierbüchse od, eines entsprechenden Gefäßes 30 die gegenüberliegende Fläche 5 nicht berühren. Im übrigen hängt die Höhe s der an den Ausschnittecken von den Schnittkanten 13 und 14 -- bzw. angenähert 14k -als kurze Seiten und der Kreislinie 31 als angenäherte lange Seite gebildeten Ausschnittdreiecks 16 von der Becherrandhöhe m ab - je stärker letzterer ist, um so größer muß die Höhe s sein, damit ein einwandfreies Hintergreifen der Rahmenteile 9a, 9b bzw. 9b' 9c gewährleistet bleibt.The cutting lines 14 can be curved according to the contour 14 in FIG. 1 by an apex dimension t of, for example, 2 mm from the straight line 14 to the adjacent crease line 2, so that the cutting edges generated by the cutting lines 14 k even when the frame edge 9 is strongly bent by the edge 32 of the fruit cup, the beer can or a corresponding vessel 30 do not touch the opposite surface 5. Otherwise, the height s of the cut-out triangle 16 formed at the cut-out corners by the cut edges 13 and 14 - or approximately 14 k - as short sides and the circular line 31 as an approximate long side depends on the cup rim height m - the stronger the latter is the height s must be greater in order to ensure that the frame parts 9a, 9b and 9b ' 9c are properly gripped behind.

Die Einheit aus Kartonhülse 20 und von ihr gehaltenen Fruchtbechern 30 -- mit maximalem Außendurchmesser n der Wandung 33 -- kann in der beschriebenen Weise gehandelt und verkauft werden; jedoch ist es auch möglich, eine Mehrzahl dieser Einheiten in einer handelsüblichen -- nicht gezeigten -- Steige unterzubringen, - dies auch dann, wenn die Steige eine Innenausfachung aufweisen sollte.The unit made of cardboard tube 20 and fruit cups 30 held by it - with a maximum outer diameter n of wall 33 - can be traded and sold in the manner described; however, it is also possible to accommodate a plurality of these units in a commercially available crate (not shown), even if the crate should have an internal infill.
