Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container carrier made of foldable sheet material for bottles according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to container carriers which have no openings between wall sections and bottom section delimited by webs.
  • Such a container carrier has become known for example from DE-PS 27 56 374.
  • the ends of the blank lying one above the other are usually connected to one another in the base area, either by gluing or by a suitable hook.
  • the edges of the bottles or cans are partially in openings at the top and bottom so that they are fixed in their position and secured against falling out.
  • the lower web which delimits the openings at the corners to the outside, is relatively narrow. With regard to the material load, this web is the weakest point of the container carrier. If it gets damp, there is a risk that it will tear. As a result, the neighboring bottle is no longer secured. Otherwise there is a risk that the container carrier will tear open as a whole. It is therefore necessary to give the blank a minimum thickness for reasons of strength.
  • a container carrier of the generic type is the handle area or the area of the openings beyond which the crown cap or the upper edge of a can or the like protrudes.
  • the material can also tear here, especially if the blank has only a small thickness. The risk of tearing can be increased if a container is slightly higher than the standard height. This places considerable stress on the material in the opening area and can tear.
  • the container carriers are mechanically applied to the container containers in a cuff-like manner.
  • the packaging machine therefore requires a lot of effort.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a container carrier that allows a significant reduction in the weight of the material for cutting. Furthermore, the mechanical outlay for applying the container carrier to container containers should not be increased.
  • the openings at the border of the lid section and wall section have a width which is equal to or greater than the diameter of the upper bottle edge and the distance between the crease lines of the lid section is greater than the distance between the center axes of two adjacent bottles.
  • the creasing lines in the lid section are arranged with respect to their distance from one another in such a way that a space is created between bottles and cardboard blank. This free space can compensate for tolerances in the bottle height.
  • the relevant diameter of the upper edge of the bottle can be the diameter of a bottle stopper, in particular a crown cap.
  • the container carrier according to the invention is placed in a known manner around a container in a vertical plane.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides that the creasing lines converge in the cover section between the outer openings and the side edge of the carrier towards the side edge. Due to their position, the inclined outer creasing lines stabilize the outer cutting area when exposed to pressure from above, as can be done, for example, when shrinking the container carrier.
  • an embodiment of the invention provides that the central openings for the bottle neck are vertical on both sides have two sloping, downwardly converging notches extending into the opening and ending in front of the openings. These incisions allow the two bottles placed in the middle (with a six-pack) to push outwards when the container is lifted.
  • FIG. 1 is predominantly of conventional design. It has bottom sections 10, 11, wall sections 12a, 12b, 13a, 13b and a cover section 14.
  • the wall sections 12a, 12b are articulated to one another via a creasing line 15 and the wall sections 13a, 13b via a creasing line 16 (the creasing lines are usually drawn with dashed lines).
  • the creasing lines are usually drawn with dashed lines.
  • six openings 17 are formed in the transition area between the wall sections 12b and 13b and the cover section 14.
  • three openings 18 are formed in the transition area between the bottom section 10 and the wall section 12a.
  • three openings 19 are formed in the transition area between the bottom section 11 and the wall section 13a.
  • the shape of the openings 17, 18 and 19 is not dealt with in detail, except for the openings 18 and 19 in the corner regions.
  • the detail 20 according to FIG. 1 is emphasized in FIG. 4. This will be discussed in more detail below.
  • the openings 17 have a crescent shape and extend largely in the wall section 12b or 13b.
  • the ends of the openings 17 extend beyond the creasing lines 50, 51 somewhat into the lid section 14.
  • the width or the diameter of the openings 17 is selected so that it is somewhat larger than the diameter of bottle caps from the container carrier be included.
  • the distance between the crease lines 50, 51 is selected so that it is somewhat larger than the center distance of two adjacent bottles. From Fig. 1 it can also be seen that the creasing lines 50 run obliquely outwards towards each other on both side edges of the blank, as shown at 52.
  • An incision 53 extends into the openings 17 and runs approximately parallel to the side edges of the blank. In the middle openings 17, two further cuts 54, 55 are formed on both sides of the cut 53, which diverge in the direction of the opening 17 and end in front of the opening 17.
  • the blank shown in Fig. 1 is placed around a container, for example a group of six bottles with tapered necks. It can be seen that the necks with the crown caps partially protrude from the upper openings 17. Likewise, the edges of the bottom of bottles 21 protrude beyond the lower openings, as shown with respect to openings 19.
  • the bottom sections 10, 11 are connected to one another in a suitable manner. This will not be discussed in more detail.
  • the blank is therefore cuffed around the bottle container, and the bottles 21 are secured against falling out by engaging in the openings 17, 18 and 19.
  • the position of the creasing lines 50, 51 enables tolerances to be compensated for in the bottle height.
  • the crease lines 50, 51 create a free space between the bottles and the carton blank.
  • the inclined arrangement of the creasing lines 52 forms a stabilization against the action of pressure from above.
  • the incisions 54, 55 enable the two bottles arranged in the center to protrude outwards when the container is lifted. Shear forces, which would otherwise open the middle openings 17 if the blank was held rigidly, are diverted downward past the openings 17 as tensile forces.
  • the central openings 18 and 19 are formed symmetrically to the longitudinal axis of the blank and have the shape of a symmetrical crank in the flat state.
  • a tongue is formed by a semicircular section line 22 and protrudes into the central region of the opening 19.
  • the tongues 23 formed thereby lie against the bottle wall, as can be seen in FIG. 2.
  • the projection 24 opposite the tongue 23 and projecting into the opening 19 bears against the bottom of the bottle.
  • FIG. 4 shows the cutout 20 with respect to a corner of a container carrier.
  • the container carrier is the subject of European patent application 87103065.6-2308 (EP-A-0 247 298).
  • An inner web 26c is separated from the outer web section 36c by an incision 56 which leaves an opening open and which widens in a triangular manner downward beyond the crease line 39c. This forms a straight edge of the inner web portion 26c, which runs approximately parallel to the outer edge of the blank. This edge extends further into a crease line 57 in the bottom section 11c.
  • a creasing line 41c running perpendicular to it lies at the level of the end of the recess 56 and lower than the creasing line 39c, but a little higher than the creasing line 40c between the wall section 13c and the bottom section 11c.
  • the opposite side edge of the inner web section 26c runs obliquely upwards and outwards, wherein in the upper region, indicated by the incision 28c, it is bent outwards.
  • a type of joint is formed without any weakening of the material, for example by means of a crease line.
  • the inner web section 26c tapers in a triangular manner, in that its edge 58 extends obliquely outwards in the direction of the crease line 57.
  • the edge 58 is formed by a cutout 59 of the opening 19c.
  • the corner construction described results in a much greater strength than conventional container carriers. A material saving of 20% or more can therefore be achieved. Moreover, the pivoting of the web 26 against the bottle wall ensures that the lower area of the bottle is not pulled out of the container carrier.
