Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung aus Karton od.dgl.zum Verpacken mehrerer Gegenstände, die im unteren Bereich wenigstens einen Hohlraum aufweisen, gebildet aus einer Umhüllung, welche die Gegenstände umschließt und Befestigungsmittel aufweist, welche in die Hohlräume eingreifen.The invention relates to a packaging made of cardboard or the like for packaging a plurality of objects which have at least one cavity in the lower region, formed from an envelope which surrounds the objects and has fastening means which engage in the cavities.

Aus der FR-A-2 550 515 ist eine derartige Verpackung bekannt, die sich jedoch als nicht besonders günstig erwiesen hat.Such packaging is known from FR-A-2 550 515, but it has not proven to be particularly favorable.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verpackung der genannten Art zu schaffen, mit der in einfacher Weise eine Verriegelung der verpackten Gegenstände erreicht wird.The invention has for its object to provide a packaging of the type mentioned, with which a locking of the packaged objects is achieved in a simple manner.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das Befestigungsmittel wenigstens eine Klappe aufweist, die aus der Bodenwand der Umhüllung ausgestanzt ist, wobei die Klappe einen mittleren Abschnitt hat, der mit der Bodenwand durch eine erste Faltlinie verbunden ist und der wenigstens annähernd die gleiche Größe wie der Hohlraum aufweist und an dem zwei Seitenabschnitte angeordnet sind, die sich beiderseits des mittleren Abschnittes befinden und mit diesem über zwei weitere Faltlinien verbunden sind, die mit der ersten Faltlinie einen Winkel von vorzugsweise weniger als 90 Grad einschließen und wobei die beiden Seitenabschnitte eine Länge aufweisen, die größer als die Höhe des mittleren Abschnittes senkrecht zur Faltlinie gemessen - ist.This object is achieved in that the fastening means has at least one flap which is punched out of the bottom wall of the envelope, the flap having a central section which is connected to the bottom wall by a first fold line and which is at least approximately the same size as the cavity has and on which two side sections are arranged, which are located on both sides of the central section and are connected to this via two further fold lines which enclose an angle of preferably less than 90 degrees with the first fold line, and wherein the two Side sections have a length that is greater than the height of the middle section measured perpendicular to the fold line.

Mit einer derart ausgebildeten Klappe ist ein ganz einfaches Verriegeln der Gegenstände möglich, wenn wie eingangs erwähnt ein Hohlraum vorhanden ist, in welchen die Klappe eingreifen kann.With a flap designed in this way, a very simple locking of the objects is possible if, as mentioned at the beginning, there is a cavity in which the flap can engage.

Ebenfalls sehr vorteilhaft ist es, wenn erfindungsgemäß die Bodenwand Einschnitte aufweist, die von einer der Faltlinie gegenüberliegenden Stanzlinie ausgehen.It is also very advantageous if, according to the invention, the bottom wall has incisions that start from a punching line opposite the folding line.

Durch diese Einschnitte können die Seitenabschnitte leicht durch die Bodenwand hindurchgeführt werden.Through these incisions, the side sections can be easily passed through the bottom wall.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Stanzlinie einen der Faltlinie gegenüberliegenden, nach außen verschobenen Abschnitt hat, wodurch der mittlere Abschnitt die Seitenabschnitte überragt.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the punching line has a section opposite the folding line and displaced outwards, whereby the middle section projects beyond the side sections.

Dadurch ist eine noch bessere Verriegelung der Klappe zwischen den Gegenständen ermöglicht.This enables an even better locking of the flap between the objects.

Als ebenfalls sehr vorteilhaft hat es sich erwiesen, wenn erfindungsgemäß die beiden weiteren Faltlinien jeweils von einem Ende der Faltlinie ausgehen und zueinander konvergieren.It has also proven to be very advantageous if, according to the invention, the two further fold lines each start from one end of the fold line and converge towards one another.

Dadurch wird zum einen das Einführen der Klappe in den Hohlraum erleichtert und zum anderen die Klappe besser der Form der Gegenstände angepaßt.This on the one hand facilitates the insertion of the flap into the cavity and, on the other hand, the flap is better adapted to the shape of the objects.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung liegt erfindungsgemäß darin, daß der Umriß der Klappe durch die erste Faltlinie zwei erste Stanzlinien, welche sich beiderseits der Faltlinie befinden und schräg zu dieser geneigt sind und einer zweiten weitgehend geradlinig verlaufenden Stanzlinie, die die beiden äußeren Enden der ersten Stanzlinien verbindet, gebildet ist.Another advantageous embodiment according to the invention is that the outline of the flap through the first fold line two first punching lines, which are located on both sides of the fold line and obliquely to this are inclined and a second largely rectilinear punching line, which connects the two outer ends of the first punching lines, is formed.

Ebenfalls sehr vorteilhaft ist es, wenn erfindungsgemäß die Übergänge zwischen den ersten Stanzlinien und der zweiten Stanzlinie abgerundet sind.It is also very advantageous if, according to the invention, the transitions between the first punching lines and the second punching line are rounded.

Dadurch kann die Klappe beim Einführen in den Hohlraum nicht ungewollt verhaken.As a result, the flap cannot get caught unintentionally when it is inserted into the cavity.

Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung liegt auch darin, daß die zweite Stanzlinie im Bereich der beiden Seitenabschnitte nach innen verläuft und Einkerbungen bildet, in welche der Rand des Bodenabschnittes eizugreifen vermag, um die Klappe in einer Zwischenposition festzulegen.An advantageous development of the invention also lies in the fact that the second punching line runs inwards in the region of the two side sections and forms notches in which the edge of the bottom section can engage in order to fix the flap in an intermediate position.

Bei einer Verpackung mit wenigstens einer offenen Seite der Umhüllung, durch welche die zu verpackenden Gegenstände eingeführt werden können, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Klappe über die erste Faltlinie wenigstens geringfügig aus einer horizontalen Fläche geneigt ist, die senkrecht zur Längsachse der Umhüllung liegt.In the case of packaging with at least one open side of the wrapper, through which the objects to be packaged can be introduced, it is advantageous if the flap is at least slightly inclined over the first fold line from a horizontal surface that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the wrapper.

Bei einer Verpackung für eine Gruppe von einer oder mehreren Reihen von becherförmigen Gefäßen, die an ihrer oberen Fläche verbunden sind und zwischen denen im Bodenbereich Hohlräume vorgesehen sind, hat es sich als zweckmäßig ergeben, wenn mindestens eine Klappe in jeder Gefäßreihe vorgesehen ist.In the case of packaging for a group of one or more rows of cup-shaped vessels which are connected on their upper surface and between which cavities are provided in the base region, it has been found to be expedient if at least one flap is provided in each row of vessels.

Sehr günstig ist es auch, wenn erfindungsgemäß die erste Faltlinie jeder Klappe wenigstens annähernd parallel zur Längsachse der Umhüllung verläuft.It is also very favorable if, according to the invention, the first fold line of each flap runs at least approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of the envelope.

Dadurch werden die Klappen senkrecht zur Längsachse der Gefäßreihen eingefaltet und geben diesen einen sehr guten Halt.As a result, the flaps are folded in perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rows of vessels and give them a very good hold.

In der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung anhand mehrerer Ausführungsbeispiele veranschaulicht. Dabei zeigen:

  • Fig.1 einen planliegenden Zuschnitt zum Herstellen einer Verpackung,
  • Fig.2 einen Querschnitt durch eine fertig aufgerichtete und bestückte Verpackung
  • Fig.3 einen Länsschnitt durch die Verpackung,
  • Fig.4 eine Ansicht einer Klappe im flachliegenden Zustand,
  • Fig.5 eine aufgerichtete und nach innen gefaltete Klappe,
  • Fig.6 bis 9 weitere Ausgestaltungen der Klappe.
The invention is illustrated in the drawing using several exemplary embodiments. Show:
  • 1 shows a flat blank for producing packaging,
  • 2 shows a cross section through a fully erected and equipped packaging
  • 3 shows a longitudinal section through the packaging,
  • 4 is a view of a flap lying flat,
  • 5 an erected flap folded inwards,
  • 6 to 9 further configurations of the flap.

In Fig.1 ist ein flachliegender Kartonzuschnitt 10 gezeigt, der zum Herstellen einer hülsenförmigen Verpackung dient und eine Deckfläche 20 aufweist, an welcher über Faltlinien 23 und 24 je eine Seitenwand 30 bzw. 40 angelenkt ist. Über weitere Faltlinien 35 bzw. 45 sind Abschnitte 50a,50b einer Bodenwand 50 an diesen Seitenwänden angeordnet, die über Klebenahtzonen 52a,52b miteinander zur Bodenwand verbunden werden. In beiden Abschnitten der Bodenwand 50 ist je ein Befestigungsmittel 100 bzw. Klappe 102 vorgesehen, die durch Stanzlinien 106,108,110 aus der Bodenwand ausgestanzt und über eine Faltlinie 104 mit dieser verbunden ist.A flat cardboard blank 10 is shown in FIG. 1, which is used to produce a sleeve-shaped packaging and has a cover surface 20, to each of which a side wall 30 or 40 is articulated via fold lines 23 and 24. Sections 50a, 50b of a bottom wall 50 are arranged on these side walls via further folding lines 35 and 45, which are connected to one another to form the bottom wall via adhesive seam zones 52a, 52b. In both sections of the bottom wall 50, a fastening means 100 or flap 102 is provided, which is punched out of the bottom wall by punching lines 106, 108, 110 and is connected to the bottom wall by a folding line 104.

Diese Klappe weist einen mittleren Abschnitt 112 sowie zwei Seitenabschnitte 114,116 auf, die wie aus Fig.4 ersichtlich ist über Faltlinien 118 und 120 miteinander verbunden sind.This flap has a central section 112 and two side sections 114, 116, which, as can be seen from FIG. 4, are connected to one another via fold lines 118 and 120.

In den Fig.2 und 3 sind zwei Schnitte durch fertig aufgerichtete Verpackungen dargestellt, die mit vier in zwei Reihen angeordneten becherförmigen Gefäßen 60a,60b,60 bestückt sind. Die Gefäße sind über einen gemeinsamen Flanschrand 62 mit einander an ihrem oberen Ende verbunden und weisen zwischen sich einen Hohlraum 64 auf, in welchen die Klappe 102 mit ihrem mittleren Abschnitt 112 und ihren Seitenabschnitten 114 und 116 eingreift.2 and 3 show two sections through fully erected packages which are equipped with four cup-shaped vessels 60a, 60b, 60 arranged in two rows. The vessels are connected to one another at their upper end via a common flange edge 62 and have a cavity 64 between them, in which the flap 102 engages with its central section 112 and its side sections 114 and 116.

Wie in Fig.4 dargestellt ist, haben die Seitenabschnitte 114 und 116 der Klappe 102 eine Länge L, die größer ist als die Höhe H des mittleren Abschnittes 112, der zu seinem freien, von der Faltlinie 104 abgewandten Ende schmäler wird. Dazu laufen die beiden von den Enden der Faltlinie 104 ausgehenden Faltlinien 118,120 zu einander konvergierend aufeinander zu und schließen mit den beiden Stanzlinien 106 bzw. 108 einen Winkel α ein, der geringfügig kleiner als 90 Grad ist.
Die Stanzlinie 110 verläuft leicht bogenförmig mit einem Krümmungsradius, dessen Mittelpunkt in einem Punkt C liegt, der außerhalb des Punktes P liegt, in dem sich die Verlängerungen der Stanzlinien 106 und 108 schneiden. In der Zeichnung sind die durch die Stanzlinien ergebenden Kanten der beiden Seitenabschnitte 114 und 116 mit 114a,114b bzw. mit 116a und 116b bezeichnet. Von der Stanzlinie 110 gehen in einem nahezu rechten Winkel zwei Einschnitte 122 und 124 aus, durch welche beim Eindrücken der Klappe 102 in den Hohlraum 64 die abgerundeten Enden der beiden Seitenabschnitte hindurchtreten. In Fig.5 ist diese Stellung der Klappe 102 zwischen zwei Gefäßen 60a und 60c gezeigt. Dabei ist der mittlere Abschnitt mit den beiden Seitenabschnitten nach innen eingedrückt, die Enden der Seitenabschnitte sind bereits durch die beiden Einschnitte hindurchgetreten und stützen sich auf der benachbarten Fläche der Bodenwand ab.As shown in FIG. 4, the side portions 114 and 116 of the flap 102 have a length L which is greater than the height H of the central portion 112 which narrows towards its free end facing away from the fold line 104. For this purpose, the two folding lines 118, 120 starting from the ends of the folding line 104 converge towards one another and form an angle α with the two punching lines 106 and 108, which is slightly less than 90 degrees.
The punch line 110 runs slightly arcuate with a radius of curvature whose center lies at a point C, which lies outside the point P, at which the extensions of the punch lines 106 and 108 intersect. In the drawing, the edges of the two side sections 114 and 116 resulting from the punched lines are designated 114a, 114b and 116a and 116b, respectively. Two cuts 122 and 124 extend from the punching line 110 at an almost right angle, through which the rounded ends of the two side sections pass when the flap 102 is pressed into the cavity 64. This position of the flap 102 between two vessels 60a and 60c is shown in FIG. The middle section is pressed with the two side sections inwards, which are the ends of the side sections already passed through the two incisions and are supported on the adjacent surface of the bottom wall.

In Fig.6 ist eine Klappe 102 dargestellt, bei welcher der mittlere Abschnitt nahezu dreieckförmig ausgebildet ist. Darüberhinaus ist zwischen den beiden Einschnitten 122 und 124 eine gegenüber der Stanzlinie 110 nach außen versetzte Stanzlinie 110a vorgesehen, der genauso wie die Stanzlinie 110 geradlinig verläuft.A flap 102 is shown in FIG. 6, in which the central section is almost triangular. In addition, between the two incisions 122 and 124, there is provided a punching line 110a which is offset outward from the punching line 110 and which, like the punching line 110, runs in a straight line.

Eine ähnlich ausgebildete Klappe 102 zeigt auch Fig.7 bei der allerdings die Faltlinien 118 und 120 auf die beiden Einschnitte zu verlaufen.A similarly designed flap 102 is also shown in FIG. 7, in which however the fold lines 118 and 120 run on the two incisions.

Fig.8 zeigt dagegen eine Klappe, bei welcher die Stanzlinie 110 bogenförmig verläuft und damit den Seitenabschnitten eine sichelförmige Form verleiht.FIG. 8, on the other hand, shows a flap in which the punching line 110 runs in an arc shape and thus gives the side sections a crescent shape.

Dagegen hat diese Stanzlinie 110 beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach den Fig. 9 und 9a im Bereich der beiden Seitenabschnitte je eine Einkerbung l10f bzw. 110g, die von einer Ausbuchtung 110d bzw. 110e begrenzt wird.In contrast, in the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 9 and 9a, this punching line 110 has a notch 110f or 110g in the region of the two side sections, which is delimited by a bulge 110d or 110e.

In diese Einkerbung greift der Rand der Bodenwand 50 ein und hält die Klappe in einer Zwischenposition, wie dies in Fig.9a dargestellt ist.The edge of the bottom wall 50 engages in this notch and holds the flap in an intermediate position, as shown in FIG.
