Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Faltschachtel zum Verpacken mehrerer länglicher Gegenstände, wie Ampullen, Fläschchen, Vials oder dergleichen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Eine beispielsweise aus der DE-OS 24 53 309 bekannte Faltschachtel dieser Art ist aus einem Zuschnitt gefaltet, der auch den Einsatz umfaßt. Der den Einsatz bildende Teil des Zuschnitts ist mit einer schmalen Seitenwand der Faltschachtel verbunden, und zwar über eine Faltlinie, die sich zwischen den beiden Stirnseiten der Hülse erstreckt. Das Falten zu einer Schachtel sowie das Füllen und Verschließen kann nur auf einer dazu speziell eingerichteten Vorrichtung durchgeführt werden. Aufgrund der Ausbildung und der Anordnung des Einsatzes kann diese bekannte Faltschachtel nämlich nach dem Kleben beim Packmittelhersteller nicht flachgelegt, in flachem Zustand bevorratet und verschickt, sowie sodann im Abpackbetrieb nicht auf einer üblichen Kartoniermaschine aufgerichtet, bestückt und verschlossen werden, so wie die Mehrzahl der heute gebräuchlichen Faltschachteln gehandhabt wird.The invention relates to a folding box for packing several elongated objects, such as ampoules, vials, vials or the like according to the preamble of claim 1. A folding box of this type, known for example from DE-OS 24 53 309, is folded from a blank, which can also be used includes. The part of the blank which forms the insert is connected to a narrow side wall of the folding box, specifically via a fold line which extends between the two end faces of the sleeve. The folding into a box as well as the filling and closing can only be carried out on a specially designed device. Due to the design and the arrangement of the insert, this known folding box cannot be laid flat after being glued to the packaging manufacturer, stored and shipped in a flat state, and then cannot be set up, loaded and closed in the packaging operation on a conventional cartoning machine, as is the case with the majority of today usual folding boxes is handled.

Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention

Die erfindungsgemäße Faltschachtel mit den im Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen hat den Vorteil, daß diese beim Faltschachtelherseller aus einem einzigen Zuschnitt gefaltet, geklebt und flachgelegt, sodann in Stapeln zum Abpacker verschickt und bevorratet sowie dort auf herkömmlichen Kartoniermaschinen mit hoher Leistung aufgerichtet, mit den zu verpackenden Gegenständen bestückt und verschlossen werden kann. Durch die getrennte Herstellung der Faltschachteln im Kartonagenbetrieb und das anderweitige Befüllen im Abpackbetrieb besteht auch der Vorteil, daß die beim Falten sich einstellende Staubentwicklung keine Belastung im Abpackbetrieb darstellt, was insbesondere beim Verpacken von Pharmazeutika wichtig ist. Bei der neuartigen Faltschachtel ist außerdem ein gesondertes Fach für einen Beipackzettel mit Gebrauchsinformationen, beispielsweise ein Faltblatt oder eine Broschüre angeordnet, und zwar so, daß die Gegenstände und der Beipackzettel bei geöffneter Faltschachtel übersichtlich angeordnet und ohne Behinderung getrennt entnehmbar sind. Außerdem fällt der Beipackzettel beim Öffnen der Faltschachtel sofort ins Blickfeld des Verbrauchers, ist einfach zu entnehmen sowie nach Einsichtnahme genauso einfach wieder unverlierbar in der Faltschachtel bei den übrigen Gegenständen unterzubringen.The folding box according to the invention with the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1 has the advantage that it is folded, glued and laid flat from the folding box manufacturer from a single blank, then shipped in stacks to the packer and stored and set up there on conventional cartoning machines with high performance, with the objects to be packed can be fitted and locked. Due to the separate production of the folding boxes in the carton operation and the other filling in the packaging operation, there is also the advantage that the dust development that occurs during folding does not represent a burden in the packaging operation, which is particularly important when packaging pharmaceuticals. In the novel folding box, a separate compartment for an instruction leaflet with usage information, for example a leaflet or a brochure, is arranged in such a way that the objects and the instruction leaflet are clearly arranged when the folding box is open and can be removed separately without hindrance. In addition, when the folding box is opened, the package insert immediately falls into the consumer's field of vision, is easy to remove and, after inspection, can be placed in the folding box with the other items just as easily and cannot be lost.

Durch die in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführten Maßnahmen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Faltschachtel möglich.The measures listed in the subclaims make advantageous developments of the folding box specified in claim 1 possible.

Beschreibung des AusführungsbeispielsDescription of the embodiment

Die aus einem steifen Packstoff, vorzugsweise Pappe, bestehende, quaderförmige Faltschachtel hat einen hülsenförmigen Rumpf 10 mit zwei parallelen Breitseitenwänden 11, 12 und zwei parallelen Schmalseitenwänden 13, 14, wobei die eine Schmalseitenwand 14 mit einer angelenkten Längsklebelasche 15 mit der Innenseite der einen Breitseitenwand 11 verklebt ist. Die bodenseitige Stirnfläche des Rumpfes 10 ist durch an den Seitenwänden 11 bis 14 angelenkte, in die Stirnfläche umgefaltete und miteinander verklebte Verschlußlaschen 16, 17, 18, 19 fest verschlossen. Dagegen wird die kopfseitige Stirnfläche, die eine Entnahmeöffnung bildet, von zwei Verschlußlaschen 23, 24 an den Schmalseitenwänden 13, 14 und nur einer einzigen breiten Verschlußlasche 21 verschlossen, die an der Breitseitenwand 11 angelenkt ist und mit der über eine Faltlinie eine Stecklasche 22 verbunden ist.The cuboidal folding box, which consists of a rigid packaging material, preferably cardboard, has a sleeve-shaped body 10 with two parallel broad side walls 11, 12 and two parallel narrow side walls 13, 14, one narrow side wall 14 with a hinged longitudinal adhesive flap 15 with the inside of one broad side wall 11 is glued. The bottom end face of the fuselage 10 is firmly closed by closure flaps 16, 17, 18, 19 hinged to the side walls 11 to 14, folded over in the end face and glued together. In contrast, the head end face, which forms a removal opening, is closed by two locking tabs 23, 24 on the narrow side walls 13, 14 and only a single wide locking tab 21 which is articulated on the wide side wall 11 and to which a plug-in tab 22 is connected via a fold line .

Die oben beschriebene, soweit bekannte Faltschachtel hat zum Verpacken stoßempfindlicher Gegenstände, wie Ampullen 1, Fläschchen, Vials und dergleichen, einen Einsatz 30 in Form einer Hohlwand oder eines Rahmens zum Aufnehmen und Tragen der Gegenstände. Dieser Einsatz 30 besteht aus zwei Kulissenwänden 31, 32, die sich parallel und in bestimmten Abständen zu den Stirnflächen des Rumpfes 10 in dessen Innenraum erstrecken. Die Kulissenwände 31, 32, die fluchtende Durchbrüche 33 zum formschlüssigen Aufnehmen der Gegenstände haben, sind einerseits mit angelenkten Fußstreifen 35, 36 durch Verkleben mit der Innenseite der anderen Breitseitenwand 12 befestigt und andererseits über einen Steg 38 miteinander verbunden. Vorzugsweise schließt sich der eine Fußstreifen 35 über eine Faltlinie an die andere Breitseitenwand 12 einstückig an, so daß die eigentliche Faltschachtel sowie deren Einsatz 30 aus einem einzigen Zuschnitt gefaltet werden kann. Der Einsatz 30 mit den Kulissenwänden 31, 32, den Fußstreifen 35, 36 und dem Steg 38 hat eine Länge, die etwas geringer ist als die Breite der ihn tragenden Breitseitenwand 12. Die Breite der Fußstreifen 35, 36 ist so gewählt, daß der der Öffnungsstirnseite nahe Fußstreifen 35 einen Kopfraum freihält, der größer ist als der durch den anderen Fußstreifen 36 bestimmte Fußraum. Ferner ist die Breite der beiden Kulissenwände 31, 32 um ein bestimmtes Maß, beispielsweise 5 bis 10 mm kleiner als die Breite der beiden Schmalseitenwände 13, 14, so daß der die Kulissenwände 35, 36 verbindende Steg 38 sich in einem gewissen Abstand zu der einen Breitseitenwand 11 erstreckt, wobei zwischen dieser Breitseitenwand 11 und dem Steg 38 ein Spalt bzw. ein Fach 40 gebildet ist, in das ein gefalteter Beipackzettel 41 von der Öffnungsseite her greifbar eingesteckt ist.The above-described, well-known folding box has an insert 30 in the form of a cavity wall or a frame for receiving and carrying the objects for packaging shock-sensitive objects, such as ampoules 1, vials, vials and the like. This insert 30 consists of two backdrop walls 31, 32, which are parallel and extend at certain intervals to the end faces of the fuselage 10 in the interior thereof. The backdrop walls 31, 32, which have aligned openings 33 for the positive reception of the objects, are fastened on the one hand with hinged foot strips 35, 36 by gluing to the inside of the other broad side wall 12 and, on the other hand, connected to one another via a web 38. The one foot strip 35 preferably adjoins the other broad side wall 12 in one piece via a fold line, so that the actual folding box and its insert 30 can be folded from a single blank. The insert 30 with the link walls 31, 32, the foot strips 35, 36 and the web 38 has a length which is slightly less than the width of the broad side wall 12 which supports it. The width of the foot strips 35, 36 is chosen such that the Opening front near footer 35 keeps a headroom free, which is larger than the footwell determined by the other footer 36. Furthermore, the width of the two link walls 31, 32 is a certain amount, for example 5 to 10 mm smaller than the width of the two narrow side walls 13, 14, so that the web 38 connecting the link walls 35, 36 is at a certain distance from the one Broad side wall 11 extends, a gap or a compartment 40 is formed between this broad side wall 11 and the web 38, in which a folded package insert 41 is inserted tangibly from the opening side.

Die Faltschachtel ist so bestückt, daß mehrere Gegenstände wie Ampullen 1 in die Durchbrüche 33 der Kulissenwände 35, 36 eingesteckt sind, wobei ihr Kopfteil, der Spieß 2, frei zur Entnahmeöffnung weist. Die Gegenstände können in einer einzigen Reihe nebeneinander angeordnet sein (Figur 1 und 2). Die Kulissenwände 31, 32 können aber auch mehrere, beispielsweise zwei Reihen Durchbrüche zum Aufnehmen von Gegenständen aufweisen. Es können auch verschiedene Gegenstände wie Ampullen 1 und Vials 3 in einer Faltschachtel verpackt werden (Figur 3). Bei der Anordnung mehrerer Reihen von Durchbrüchen können diese übereinander und auch gegeneinander versetzt angeordnet sein. Der Öffnungsquerschnitt der Durchbrüche ist dem Querschnitt der zu verpackenden Gegenstände angepaßt, so daß diese unverrückbar mit einer bestimmten Haltekraft gehalten werden. In Figur 1 ist der Querschnitt als Kreis dargestellt, selbstverständlich können die Durchbrüche auch als Ausstanzungen mit Kerben, Zähnen oder dergleichen, oder als freigestanzte umlegbare Zungen ausgebildet sein.The folding box is equipped in such a way that several objects, such as ampoules 1, are inserted into the openings 33 in the link walls 35, 36, their head part, the spit 2, pointing freely towards the removal opening. The objects can be arranged next to one another in a single row (FIGS. 1 and 2). The backdrop walls 31, 32 can also have several, for example two rows of openings for receiving objects. Various objects such as ampoules 1 and vials 3 can also be packed in a folding box (FIG. 3). When arranging Several rows of openings can be arranged one above the other and also offset from one another. The opening cross section of the openings is adapted to the cross section of the objects to be packaged, so that they are held immovably with a certain holding force. In Figure 1, the cross section is shown as a circle, of course, the openings can also be formed as punched with notches, teeth or the like, or as free-punched foldable tongues.

In dem von der öffnungsseitigen Kulissenwand 31 abgeteilten Kopfraum der Faltschachtel ist außerdem ein mit den Ampullen oder Vials in Verbindung stehendes Werkzeug, wie eine Feile 42 oder eine Pipette eingelegt.In addition, a tool, such as a file 42 or a pipette, connected to the ampoules or vials is inserted in the head space of the folding box, which is separated from the opening-side link wall 31.

Zum Ausbilden eines Garantieverschlusses ist auf die die Entnahmeöffnung abdeckende Verschlußlasche 21, deren angelenkte Stecklasche 22 ins Innere der Faltschachtel greift, eine Decklasche 25 umgefaltet und verklebt. Diese Verschlußlasche 21 ist an der anderen Breitseitenwand 12 angelenkt und aus dem einen Fußstreifen 35 freigestanzt, der mit der anderne Breitseitenwand 12 einstückig verbunden ist.To form a guarantee closure, a cover flap 25 is folded over and glued onto the flap 21 covering the removal opening, the articulated plug flap 22 of which engages inside the folding box. This closure flap 21 is articulated on the other broad side wall 12 and punched out of the one foot strip 35, which is connected in one piece to the other broad side wall 12.

Wie aus der Figur 4 ersichtlich ist, kann der Zuschnitt für die Faltschachtel mit dem einstückigen Einsatz 30 aus einer Pappe-Bahn ohne großen Abfall ausgestanzt werden, wenn jeweils zwei Zuschnitte mit dem Einsatzteil gegeneinandergerichtet in Bahnrichtung ausgestanzt werden.As can be seen from FIG. 4, the blank for the folding box with the one-piece insert 30 can be punched out of a cardboard web without great waste if two blanks are punched out in the web direction with the insert part facing each other.

Die oben beschriebene Faltschachtel wird wie folgt hergestellt:
Bei dem in Figur 4 dargetellten Zuschnitt werden zunächst die den Einsatz 30 bildenden Kulissenwände 31, 32, die Fußstreifen 35, 36 und der Steg 38 zu einem Rahmen gefaltet und dieser wie in den Figuren 1 bis 3 dargestellt auf die andere Breitseitenwand 12 umgefaltet und verklebt. Die von der Seitenwand 12 quer abstehenden Kulissenwände 31, 32 und der Steg 38 werden dann gegen den breiten Fußstreifen 35 um- und auf diesem flachgelegt. Sodann wird in üblicher Weise die Faltschachtel zu einer flachen Hülse gefaltet und die Längsklebelasche 15 mit der Innenseite der einen Breitseitenwand 11 verklebt. So hergestellte Faltschachteln werden in einer Vielzahl gestapelt und so zum Abpackbetrieb verschickt. Bei Bedarf werden dort die so vorbereiteten Faltschachteln in eine Kartoniermaschine eingelegt, in der sie wie üblich aufgerichtet, bestückt und verschlossen werden. Beim Aufrichten des Einsatzes 30 in die vorgesehene Stellung kann in der Kartoniermaschine ein zusätzlicher Stößel angeordnet werden.The folding box described above is made as follows:
In the blank shown in FIG. 4, the backdrop walls 31, 32, the foot strips 35, 36 and the web 38 forming the insert 30 are first folded and this is folded over and glued to the other broad side wall 12 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 . The projecting transversely from the side wall 12 The backdrop walls 31, 32 and the web 38 are then folded against the wide foot strip 35 and laid flat on it. The folding box is then folded into a flat sleeve in the usual way and the longitudinal adhesive flap 15 is glued to the inside of one broad side wall 11. Folding boxes produced in this way are stacked in a large number and sent to the packaging company. If necessary, the folding boxes prepared in this way are placed in a cartoning machine in which they are erected, loaded and sealed as usual. When the insert 30 is erected into the intended position, an additional plunger can be arranged in the cartoning machine.
