Eine in der US 4,917,290 beschriebene Schuhschachtel nimmt in zwei relativ zueinander schwenkbaren Teilvolumina je einen von zwei Schuhen auf, wobei sowohl die Teilvolumina als auch ein von diesen gebildeter Gesamtkörper eine nicht quaderförmige Gestalt mit trapezförmigen Seitenflächen besitzt.One from the DE 196 21 281 A1 known container for shoes has on one side of a cuboid base body a hinged lid. One in the US 4,917,290 described shoebox takes in two relatively pivotable partial volumes each one of two shoes, both the sub-volumes and one of these formed overall body has a non-cuboid shape with trapezoidal side surfaces.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen vorteilhaften neuartigen, insbesondere für Schuhpaare geeigneten Behälter anzugeben.The invention has for its object to provide an advantageous novel, especially suitable for pairs of shoes container.

Die Erfindung ist im unabhängigen Patentanspruch 1 beschrieben. Die abhängigen Ansprüche enthalten vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Behälters.The invention is described in independent claim 1. The dependent claims contain advantageous embodiments and further developments of the container according to the invention.

Der erfindungsgemäße Behälter zeichnet sich durch seine vielseitige Verwendbarkeit aus, wobei in der ersten Position der beiden Teilvolumina der zusammengesetzte quaderförmige Körper wieder die bekannten Vorteile geringen Platzbedarfs bei Transport und Lagerung und hoher Stabilität in gestapelter Anordnung aufweist, und in der zweiten Position eine in verschiedener Ausrichtung einsetzbare, praktische und durch ihre Auffälligkeit vor allem zu Gestaltungs- und Präsentationszwecken besonders geeignete Form vorliegt.The container according to the invention is characterized by its versatility, wherein in the first position of the two sub-volumes of the composite cuboid body again has the known advantages of low space requirements for transport and storage and high stability in a stacked arrangement, and in the second position in a different orientation usable, practical and by their conspicuous especially for design and presentation purposes particularly suitable form exists.

Durch das erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene zusätzliche Stützelement ist vorteilhafterweise insbesondere auf einfache Art eine weitere Ausrichtung des Behälters in der zweiten Position der Teilvolumina möglich in der Form, daß der Behälter mit einer Seitenfläche der Quaderform einer Aufstellfläche zugewandt auf dieser aufgestellt wird. Vorzugsweise steht der Behälter flächig mit der Quaderseite auf der Aufstellfläche. In dieser Ausrichtung des Behälters in der zweiten Position ist eines der beiden Teilvolumina, dessen Quader-Seitenfläche, welche insbesondere die kurze Quader-Seitenfläche bei diagonaler Führung der Trennfläche ist, eine Standebene bestimmt und mit dieser auf einer Aufstellfläche aufsteht, stabil stehend, wogegen das andere Teilvolumen die Aufstellfläche nicht oder lediglich mit einer Eckkante berührt und ansonsten von der Aufstellfläche ohne weitere Abstützung nach oben strebt so dass der Behälter u.U. nicht in dieser Aufstellung ohne weiteres stehen bleibt. Durch das weitere Stützelement wird dieses andere Teilvolumen gegen die Aufstellfläche abgestützt. Das Stützelement endet mit einem Stützpunkt, einer Stützkante und/oder einer Stützfläche in der durch die der Aufstellungsfläche zugewandten Seitenfläche des einen Teilvolumens bestimmten Standebene. Das Stützelement kann hierzu insbesondere eine Stützlinie bilden, welche in der Standebene parallel zu Kanten der auf der Aufstellfläche aufstehenden Quader-Seitenfläche des einen Teilvolumens verläuft. Vorzugsweise ist ein solches Stützelement als Flächenfortsatz einer der Teilflächen der geteilten Deckfläche ausgebildet.By inventively provided additional support element is advantageously in particular a simple way further alignment of the container in the second position of the sub-volumes possible in the form that the container with a side surface of the cuboid shape of a footprint faces placed on this. Preferably, the container is flat with the cuboid side on the footprint. In this orientation of the container in the second position is one of the two sub-volumes, the cuboid side surface, which is in particular the short cuboid side surface in diagonal guidance of the separation surface, determines a level and stands with this on a footprint, standing stably, whereas other sub-volume the footprint or not touched only with a corner edge and otherwise strives upward from the footprint without further support so that the container may not stand in this list easily. By the further support member of this other partial volume is supported against the footprint. The support element ends with a support point, a support edge and / or a support surface in the plane of the side surface of the partial volume that faces the installation surface. For this purpose, the support element can in particular form a support line, which runs in the plane of the stand parallel to edges of the cuboid side surface of the one partial volume which rests on the set-up surface. Preferably, such a support element is designed as a surface extension of one of the partial surfaces of the divided cover surface.

Gemäß einer ersten vorteilhaften Ausführungsform kann dieser Flächenfortsatz zugleich einen in der ersten Position des Behälters durch die Grundfläche durchsteckbaren Bügel zum tragen des Behälters bilden. Eine andere bevorzugte Ausführungsform weist einen solchen Flächenfortsatz der Teilfläche der Deckfläche eines ersten Teilvolumens auf, welcher in der ersten Position mit der Quaderform des Behälters die andere Teilfläche der Deckfläche eines zweiten Teilvolumens überdecken und vorteilhafterweise mittels eines Randfalzes deren Quaderkanten umgreifen kann.According to a first advantageous embodiment, this surface extension can at the same time form a bracket, which can be pushed through the base surface in the first position of the container, for carrying the container. Another preferred Embodiment has such a surface extension of the partial surface of the top surface of a first partial volume, which cover in the first position with the cuboid shape of the container, the other partial surface of the top surface of a second partial volume and advantageously by means of a Randfalzes their square edges can embrace.

Der Behälter ist vorzugsweise in an sich bekannter Weise aus einem ebenen Zuschnitt auffaltbar und kann in der aufgefalteten Lage durch Verkleben oder Einstecken von einzelnen Elementen stabilisiert sein. Der ebene Zuschnitt ergibt einen besonders geringen Platzbedarf vor der Auffaltung des Behälters. Der Behälter kann auch aus mehreren, vorteilhafterweise wenigen separaten Teilen gebaut sein. Als kostengünstiges Material für den Behälter bietet sich Karton an, wobei aber durch die besondere Gestalt des Körpers insbesondere in der zweiten Position der Teilvolumina und/oder gemäß einer Weiterbildung mit einem Tragebügel in der ersten Position zur Unterstützung der Auffälligkeit des Behälters auch andere Materialien, insbesondere Kunststoff, auch transparent, Metall, Kombinationen solcher Werkstoffe untereinander und/oder mit Textilien und Geweben mit höheren Materialkosten gerechtfertigt und angemessen sein können. Der Behälter kann ganz oder in Teilflächen auch aus textilem Material, Leder etc. bestehen, welches durch seinen eigenen Aufbau oder durch Stützrahmen, Stützflächen oder dgl. hinreichend flächenformstabil ist. Günstigerweise kann das Material auch waschbar und/oder abwaschbar sein. Dies ist insbesondere vorteilhaft für den Einsatz des Behälters zur regelmäßigen Verwendung als tragbarer Behälter, beispielsweise als Sportschuh-Tasche.The container is preferably foldable in a conventional manner from a flat blank and can be stabilized in the unfolded position by gluing or insertion of individual elements. The flat blank results in a particularly small footprint before the unfolding of the container. The container may also be constructed of several, advantageously a few separate parts. As a cost material for the container to carton offers, but with the special shape of the body, especially in the second position of the sub-volumes and / or according to a development with a carrying handle in the first position to support the conspicuousness of the container and other materials, in particular Plastic, also transparent, metal, combinations of such materials with each other and / or with textiles and fabrics with higher material costs can be justified and appropriate. The container may also consist entirely or in partial surfaces of textile material, leather, etc., which is sufficiently dimensionally stable by its own construction or by supporting frames, supporting surfaces or the like. Conveniently, the material may also be washable and / or washable. This is particularly advantageous for the use of the container for regular use as a portable container, for example as a sports shoe bag.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausführung des Behälters sieht vor, daß der Behälter durch die Art der Verbindung seiner die Teilvolumina bildenden Flächen bzw. Teilflächen zerstörungsfrei wieder in die Form des flachen Zuschnitts rückführbar ist und auch wieder aus diesem Zuschnitt in die Behälterform gebracht werden kann, beispielsweise durch Steckverbindungen, Druckknopfverbindungen oder insbesondere Klettverbindungen. Der Behälter ist dadurch außerhalb von Gebrauchszeiten mit besonders geringem Platzbedarf zur Zwischenlagerung geeignet.An advantageous embodiment of the container provides that the container by the nature of the compound of its subvolumes forming surfaces or subfaces is non-destructive traceable back into the shape of the flat blank and again brought from this blank in the container shape can, for example, by connectors, push-button connections or Velcro connections in particular. The container is thus suitable for temporary storage outside of periods of use with very little space.

Der erfindungsgemäße Behälter ist besonders geeignet für die Aufnahme von Schuhpaaren, wobei die Teilvolumina mit annähernd dreieckförmiger Teil-Grundfläche besonders günstig an die Grundform von Schuhen mit geringer Höhe im Bereich der Schuhspitze und demgegenüber größerer Höhe im Absatzbereich angepaßt ist und jedes der beiden vorzugsweise gleich geformten Teilvolumina einen Einzelschuh des Paares aufnimmt. Jedes Teilvolumen kann zur Trennfläche hin separat abgedeckt sein, insbesondere durch ein die Deckfläche zur Grundfläche hin fortsetzendes Trennflächenelement.The container according to the invention is particularly suitable for receiving pairs of shoes, wherein the sub-volumes with approximately triangular part base surface is particularly adapted to the basic shape of shoes with low height in the area of the toe and the other hand, greater height in the heel area and each of the two preferably the same shape Partial volumes a single shoe of the couple takes up. Each partial volume may be covered separately from the separating surface, in particular by a separating surface element continuing toward the top surface.

Die erste und/oder die zweite Position der Teilvolumina kann durch Elemente des Behälters wie z. B. umfaltbare und/oder in Schlitze einsteckbare Laschen usw., ineinander verhakbare Laschen, welche in der Ausformung eines ebenen Zuschnitts bereits berücksichtigt sein können, aber auch Zusatzelemente wie Klettverschlüsse, Ösen und Bänder usw. stabilisiert sein.The first and / or the second position of the sub-volumes may by elements of the container such. B. foldable and / or slots inserted in tabs, etc., interlockable tabs, which may already be considered in the formation of a flat blank, but also additional elements such as hook and loop fasteners, eyelets and straps, etc. stabilized.

Eine Weiterbildung sieht vor, daß Stecklaschen in Fortsetzung der Teilflächen der Deckfläche entlang der Trennfläche zur Grundfläche hin durch einen Schlitz in der Grundfläche hindurch gesteckt werden können und als Griffe über die Grundfläche hinausragen, wobei die über die Grundfläche hinausragenden Teile insbesondere als Bügel mit einer Aussparung ausgeführt sein können. Der quaderförmige Körper kann dann mit nach oben weisender Grundfläche an den Griffabschnitten der Stecklaschen getragen werden.A further development envisages that plug-in tabs in continuation of the partial surfaces of the cover surface along the separating surface can be inserted through the base surface through a slot in the base surface and project beyond the base surface as handles, the parts projecting beyond the base surface in particular as a bracket with a recess can be executed. The block-shaped body can then be worn with upwardly facing base at the handle portions of the tabs.

In der zweiten relativen Position der Teilvolumina kann der Behälter auch mit den der Trennfläche entfernten Ecken der Seitenwände auf einer Standfläche aufgestellt sein und mit der Trennfläche nach oben weisen. Bei abgedeckten Teilvolumina kann die Trennfläche als Ablagefläche dienen, beispielsweise zur Präsentation von Schuhen. Der Abstand der auf der Standfläche aufstehenden Ecken in einer zur Falzlinie parallelen Richtung beträgt vorzugsweise wenigstens 40 % der Länge der Trennfläche in Richtung der Falzlinie, so daß eine ausreichende Standfestigkeit des Behälters in dieser Position gegeben ist. Die Ecken können abgeplattet oder gerundet ausgeführt sein.In the second relative position of the partial volumes, the container can also be set up with the corners of the side walls remote from the separating surface on a standing surface and face upwards with the separating surface. For covered partial volumes, the separating surface can serve as a storage surface, for example for the presentation of shoes. The distance between the upstanding on the standing surface corners in a direction parallel to the fold line direction is preferably at least 40% of the length of the separating surface in the direction of the fold line, so that a sufficient stability of the container is given in this position. The corners can be flattened or rounded.

In der zweiten relativen Position der Teilvolumina kann der Behälter auch mit der Standfläche zugewandter Trennfläche aufgestellt sein und mit den Ecken der Seitenflächen nach oben weisen. Die nach oben weisenden Seitenflächen, insbesondere die weniger steil ausgerichteten Seitenflächen können als Abstellfläche beispielsweise für Schuhe dienen.In the second relative position of the partial volumes, the container can also be set up with the stand surface facing separating surface and facing up with the corners of the side surfaces. The upwardly facing side surfaces, in particular the less steeply oriented side surfaces can serve as a storage area, for example, for shoes.

Die dekorative Form und vielseitige Verwendbarkeit des Behälters in der zweiten Position der Teilvoluminsa, insbesondere der durch die Erfindung geschaffenen neuen Aufstellmöglichkeit macht diesen attraktiv zur Verwendung über die Funktion als Lagerbehälter und Transportbehälter hinaus, so daß eine längere Nutzungsdauer bis zur Entsorgung erreicht und/oder der Behälter zusätzlich als Raum-Gestaltungselement und Präsentationsobjekt eingesetzt werden kann.The decorative shape and versatility of the container in the second position of the Teilvoluminsa, in particular created by the invention new installation makes it attractive for use beyond the function of storage containers and transport containers, so that a longer useful life reaches until disposal and / or the Container can also be used as a space design element and presentation object.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt in Schrägansicht eine einfache und bevorzugte Grundausführung eines erfindungsgemäßen Behälters, der in der skizzierten ersten Position einen quaderförmigen Körper mit einer Grundfläche, einer dazu parallelen Deckfläche und vier Seitenwänden bildet und dessen Behältervolumen durch eine bezüglich Deckfläche und Grundfläche zwischen Eckkanten ET diagonal verlaufende ebene Trennfläche TF in zwei Teilvolumina TV1 und TV2 aufgeteilt ist, welche in der Ansicht nach Fig. 2 mit Blickrichtung parallel zur Trennfläche TF anschaulich getrennt erscheinen. Die Ebene der Trennfläche bildet mit der Deckfläche eine Trennlinie TL zwischen Teilflächen DF1 und DF2 der Deckfläche und mit der Grundfläche eine Falzlinie FL zwischen zwei Teilflächen GF1 und GF2 der Grundfläche.The Fig. 1 shows an oblique view of a simple and preferred basic embodiment of a container according to the invention in the first position outlined a cuboid body with a base, a parallel top surface and four side walls and its container volume by a respect to top surface and base between corner edges ET diagonally extending planar separation surface TF divided into two sub-volumes TV1 and TV2, which in the view after Fig. 2 with viewing direction parallel to the separating surface TF clearly appear separated. The plane of the separating surface forms with the top surface a dividing line TL between partial surfaces DF1 and DF2 of the top surface and with the bottom surface a folding line FL between two partial surfaces GF1 and GF2 of the base.

Die Teilvolumina TV1, TV2 können vorteilhafterweise durch jeweils eigene Trennflächenelemente TF1, TF2, welche vorzugsweise entlang von Knicklinien an der Trennlinie TL die Deckflächen DF1 bzw. DF2 zur Grundfläche hinfortsetzen, separat abgeschlossen sein. Die Trennflächenelemente können sich, wie in Fig. 2 skizziert, wiederum in Laschen LA fortsetzen, welche im gegebenen Beispiel parallel zur Grundfläche eingesteckt sind.Advantageously, the partial volumes TV1, TV2 can be extended by respective separating surface elements TF1, TF2, which preferably extend the cover surfaces DF1 or DF2 towards the base surface along fold lines on the dividing line TL. be completed separately. The interface elements may, as in Fig. 2 sketched, again in tabs LA continue, which are plugged parallel to the base in the given example.

Die beiden Teilvolumina TV1 und TV2 sind entlang der Trennlinie TL und den Eckkanten ET trennbar und entlang der Falzlinie relativ zueinander aus der in Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 skizzierten ersten Position heraus schwenkbar, wobei, wie in Fig. 3 anhand einer Zwischenposition veranschaulicht, die Trennflächenelemente TF1 und TF2 auseinanderrücken und die Teilflächen GF1 und GF2 sich aufeinander zu bewegen, bis sie sich in einer zweiten Position als Endposition wie in Fig. 4 skizziert unmittelbar gegenüberstehen. Die Teilvolumina sind über die Trennflächenelemente TF1, TF2 separat von oben zugänglich oder schließbar, wobei sich im geschlossenen Zustand die Trennflächenelemente über die Laschen LA gegen weiteres Eindrücken in die Teilvolumina an den jetzt zur Vertikalen geneigten Seitenflächen abstützen können. Die relative Lage der beiden Teilvolumina des Behälters in der ersten Position nach Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 und/oder in der zweiten Position nach Fig. 4 kann durch nicht im einzelnen eingetragene Elemente des Behälters formschlüssig und/oder kraftschlüssig stabilisiert sein.The two sub-volumes TV1 and TV2 are separable along the dividing line TL and the corner edges ET and along the fold line relative to each other from the in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 sketched out first position, whereby, as in Fig. 3 illustrated by an intermediate position, the separating surface elements TF1 and TF2 apart and move the partial surfaces GF1 and GF2 to each other until they are in a second position as the end position as in Fig. 4 sketched directly opposite. The partial volumes can be accessed or closed separately from above via the separating surface elements TF1, TF2, whereby in the closed state the separating surface elements can be supported via the tabs LA against further impressions in the partial volumes on the side surfaces now inclined to the vertical. The relative position of the two sub-volumes of the container in the first position after Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 and / or in the second position Fig. 4 can be positively and / or non-positively stabilized by not individually registered elements of the container.

Die Fig. 5 zeigt eine Seitenansicht eines Behälters nach Art der Fig. 4 mit anderen Seitenverhältnissen in der zweiten Position mit Blickrichtung parallel zu den Flächennormalen der Teilflächen von Grundfläche und Deckfläche und veranschaulicht die teilweise Überlappung der einander zugewandten Teilflächen GF1, GF2 der Grundfläche. Der Behälter steht mit den der Trennfläche TF abgewandten Eckkanten E1 und E2 auf einer Standfläche ST auf und weist mit der Trennfläche nach oben. Bei geschlossenen Teilvolumina können die Trennflächenelemente TF1, TF2 als Ablagefläche für Gegenstände genutzt werden. Insbesondere können bei der bevorzugten Verwendung des Behälters als Schuhbehälter die Schuhe auf den Trennflächen präsentiert werden, wobei die auffällige Behälterform als zusätzlicher Blickfang wirkt. Für eine hohe Standfestigkeit ist es von Vorteil, wenn der Längsabstand DE der aufstehenden Eckkanten E1, E2 wenigstens 40 % der Länge LF der nach oben weisenden Trennfläche, jeweils parallel zur Richtung der Falzlinie FL beträgt. Die in Fig. 5 skizzierte Aufstellung des Behälters ist an sich aus der DE 199 04 969 A1 für den dort beschriebenen Schaumstoff-Hohlkörper bekannt.The Fig. 5 shows a side view of a container of the type Fig. 4 with other aspect ratios in the second position with a view parallel to the surface normals of the partial surfaces of the base surface and top surface and illustrates the partial overlap of the mutually facing partial surfaces GF1, GF2 of the base surface. The container stands with the corner edges E1 and E2 facing away from the separating surface TF on a standing surface ST and faces upwards with the separating surface. With closed partial volumes, the separating surface elements TF1, TF2 can be used as a storage area for objects. In particular, in the preferred use of the container shoes are presented on the separating surfaces as a shoe container, whereby the eye-catching container shape acts as an additional eye-catcher. For a high stability, it is advantageous if the longitudinal distance DE of the upright corner edges E1, E2 amounts to at least 40% of the length LF of the upwardly facing separating surface, in each case parallel to the direction of the fold line FL. In the Fig. 5 sketched list of the container is in itself from the DE 199 04 969 A1 known for the foam hollow body described there.

Der in der zweiten Position der Teilvolumina gebildete Behälter kann, wie in Fig. 6 skizziert, auch in anderer Aufstellung mit einer Standfläche ST zuweisender Trennfläche aufgestellt sein und mit den der Trennfläche entfernten Eckkanten E1, E2 nach oben weisen. Auch hier ergibt sich eine auffallende Behälterform als Blickfang, die sich durch die veränderte Ausrichtung dem Betrachter als von Fig. 5 scheinbar völlig andere Form präsentiert, so daß gleiche Behälter in verschiedener Position und Ausrichtung eine Mehrzahl unterschiedlicher Gestaltungselemente bieten. Insbesondere die weniger gegen die Horizontale geneigten der nach oben weisenden Seitenflächen können als Aufstellfläche beispielsweise für Schuhe verwandt werden.The container formed in the second position of the sub-volumes can, as in Fig. 6 sketched, be placed in another list with a footprint ST zuweisender separation surface and with the distance of the interface remote corner edges E1, E2 facing upwards. Here, too, a striking container shape as an eye-catcher, which is due to the changed orientation of the viewer as of Fig. 5 seemingly completely different shape presents, so that the same container in different position and orientation offer a variety of different design elements. In particular, the less inclined to the horizontal of the upwardly facing side surfaces can be used as a footprint, for example, for shoes.

Der in Fig. 7 skizzierte Behälter ist im wesentlichen quaderförmig mit einer in der skizzierten Darstellung nach oben weisenden Grundfläche und einer nach unten weisenden Deckfläche sowie verbindenden Seitenflächen, von welchen die kurze Quader-Seitenfläche SF11 und die lange Quader-Seitenfläche SF12 eines ersten Teilvolumens TV1 sichtbar sind. Die Deckfläche ist durch eine Trennfläche TL in zwei Teilflächen DF1 und DF2 unterteilt.The in Fig. 7 sketched container is substantially parallelepiped with a in the sketched illustration upwardly facing base and a downwardly facing top surface and connecting side surfaces, of which the short cuboid side surface SF11 and the long cuboid side surface SF12 a first partial volume TV1 are visible. The top surface is divided by a separation surface TL in two partial surfaces DF1 and DF2.

Parallel zu der Trennlinie verläuft in der Grundfläche eine Falzlinie FLS, welche die Grundfläche in eine Teilfläche GF1 und eine Teilfläche GF2 aufteilt. Die Teilvolumina TV1 und TV2 sind entlang der Trennlinie TL teilbar und entlang der Falzlinie FLS relativ zueinander verschwenkbar. Im Verlauf der Falzlinie FLS ist ein Schlitz SS eingebracht, durch welchen in Fortsetzung der Teilflächen DF1, DF2 ein Bügel BU mit einer Griffaussparung AU durchgesteckt ist. Der Behälter ist in Fig. 7 in der ersten, quaderförmigen Position skizziert, in welcher er durch den durchgesteckten Tragebügel bequem tragbar ist. Die Tragebügel können in anderer Position in die Teilvolumina eingefaltet sein, so daß ein rein quaderförmiger und gut stapelbarer Behälter vorliegt.Parallel to the dividing line runs in the base a fold line FLS, which divides the base into a partial surface GF1 and a partial surface GF2. The partial volumes TV1 and TV2 are divisible along the dividing line TL and along the fold line FLS relative to each other pivotable. In the course of the fold line FLS a slot SS is introduced, through which a bracket BU is inserted with a handle recess AU in continuation of the partial surfaces DF1, DF2. The container is in Fig. 7 outlined in the first, cuboid position, in which he is comfortably carried by the pushed through carrying handle. The carrying handle can be folded in a different position in the sub-volumes, so that there is a purely cuboid and well stackable container.

In Fig. 8 ist ein ebener Zuschnitt, insbesondere aus Karton, skizziert, welcher ein Auffalten eines Behälters der in Fig. 7 skizzierten Art maschinell oder insbesondere auch von Hand ermöglicht. Mit unterbrochenen Linien sind vorbereitete Falzlinien eingezeichnet. Neben den aus der Quaderform ersichtlichen Flächen sind insbesondere Trennflächenelementen TF1 des ersten bzw. TF2 des zweiten Teilvolumens bedeutsam, welche sich entlang der Falzlinien von den die Deckfläche bildenden Teilflächen DF1 bzw. DF2 fortsetzen. In Verlängerung der Trennflächenelemente TF1, TF2 sind Tragebügel BU1, BU2 angeformt. In der Grundfläche ist in der die Teil-Grundflächen GF1 und GF2 trennenden Falzlinie, welche vorzugsweise als Doppelfalzlinie ausgeführt ist, ein Schlitz SS ausgebildet, durch welchen die Bügel BU1, BU2 von innen zur Bildung der in Fig. 7 skizzierten Behälterform durchgesteckt werden können. Die Bügel können auch in einer den Laschen LA in Fig. 2 und Fig. 3 entsprechenden Position eingesteckt sein. Hilfsflächen HFA1, HFA2, HFB, HFS sind insbesondere für die Auffaltung des Behälters von Hand und dessen Stabilisierung von Vorteil. An den Seitenflächen SF11, SF21 sind Stecklaschen STL1 bzw.STL2 angeformt, welche in Steckschlitze STS1 bzw. STS2 eingesteckt die mehreren die Teilvolumina TV1 bzw. TV2 begrenzenden Flächen auf einfache Weise lösbar zusammenhalten. Die an die Hilfsfläche HFA1 anschließenden Flächenabschnitte SAH, KEF1 können vorteilhaft für eine bevorzugte Aufstellung des Behälters sein. Die Hilfsflächen HFB können zu einem Keil im Innern der Teilvolumina geformt sein. In einer der Hilfsflächen HFB ist ausdrückbar eine Absatz-Stützlasche FS vorbereitet.In Fig. 8 is a flat blank, in particular out of cardboard, outlines a folding of a container of in Fig. 7 sketched type machine or in particular also by hand. Broken lines show prepared fold lines. In addition to the surfaces which can be seen from the cuboid shape, separating surface elements TF1 of the first or TF2 of the second partial volume, which continue along the fold lines from the partial surfaces DF1 and DF2 forming the top surface, are particularly significant. In extension of the separating surface elements TF1, TF2 support bracket BU1, BU2 are formed. In the base area is in the partial base surfaces GF1 and GF2 separating fold line, which is preferably designed as a double fold line, a slot SS formed by which the bracket BU1, BU2 from the inside to form the in Fig. 7 sketched container shape can be pushed through. The straps can also be used in one of the straps LA in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 be plugged corresponding position. Auxiliary surfaces HFA1, HFA2, HFB, HFS are particularly advantageous for unfolding the container by hand and stabilizing it. On the side surfaces SF11, SF21 plug-in tabs STL1 bzw.STL2 are formed, which plugged into plug-in slots STS1 and STS2 the multiple volumes the TV1 and TV2 bounding surfaces in a simple manner releasably hold together. The adjoining the auxiliary surface HFA1 surface sections SAH, KEF1 may be advantageous for a preferred installation of the container. The auxiliary surfaces HFB can become a wedge in the interior of the partial volumes be shaped. In one of the auxiliary surfaces HFB a paragraph support tab FS is expressly prepared.

Auf einer oder beiden Teil-Grundflächen kann ein Haftklebepunkt, Klettverschlußpunkt oder dergleichen befestigt sein, welcher beim Anlegen der Teil-Grundfläche GF2 an die Teil-Grundfläche GF1 in aufgeklappten Zustand der zweiten Position des Behälters die Grundflächen GF1, GF2 in diesem Zustand mit einer begrenzten Haltekraft zerstörungsfrei lösbar zusammenhält. Gleiches kann bei den Teilflächenelementen TF1, TF2 auf den in der Quaderform aneinanderliegenden Seiten vorgesehen sein, um die Quaderform des Behälters weiter zu stabilisieren.On one or both sub-bases, a pressure-sensitive adhesive point, Velcro closure point or the like may be attached, which when applying the partial base GF2 to the partial base GF1 in the unfolded state of the second position of the container, the base GF1, GF2 in this state with a limited Holding power non-destructively releasably holds together. The same can be provided in the partial surface elements TF1, TF2 on the adjacent sides in the cuboid shape to further stabilize the cuboid shape of the container.

Von besonderer Bedeutung ist die Ausführung wenigstens einer, vorzugsweise beider die Teilflächen DF1, DF2 fortsetzenden Trennflächenelemente TF1, TF2 in der Art, dass eine Stützkante SK1 bzw. SK2 so ausgebildet ist, dass die Trennfläche mit der Stützkante ein Stützelement für die in Fig. 9 skizzierte Aufstellposition ermöglicht. Bel dieser Aufstellposition ist die kurze Seitenfläche eines Teilvolumens, z.B. die Seitenfläche SF21 des zweiten Teilvolumens TV3 einer Aufstellfläche ST zugewandt, vorzugsweise flächig oder wenigstens mit einer Längskante auf dieser aufliegend. Das zweite Teilvolumen TV2, welches in der Zeichenebene hinter dem ersten Teilvolumen TV1 liegend gezeichnet ist, kann durch das Trennflächenelement TF2 verschlossen sein.Of particular importance is the execution of at least one, preferably both the sub-surfaces DF1, DF2 continuing separating surface elements TF1, TF2 in the way that a support edge SK1 or SK2 is formed so that the separation surface with the support edge a support element for in Fig. 9 sketched Aufstellposition allows. Bel this Aufstellposition the short side surface of a sub-volume, for example, the side surface SF21 of the second sub-volume TV3 facing a footprint ST, preferably flat or at least with a longitudinal edge on this resting. The second partial volume TV2, which is drawn lying in the plane of the drawing behind the first partial volume TV1, can be closed by the separating surface element TF2.

Das erste Teilvolumen ist von der Aufstellfläche nach oben beabtandet und läuft auf diese mit der schrägstehenden Seitenfläche SF12 nach unten zu, wo die Eckkante ET(U) auf der Aufstellfläche aufstehen kann. Das Trennflächenelement TF1 ist mit dem angeformten Bügel BU1 nach außen umgeschlagen und an die Teilfläche DF1 des ersten Teilvolumens angelegt. Teilfläche DF1 und Bügel BU1 sind eben zueinander ausgerichtet.The first sub-volume has been tilted upwards from the installation surface and runs downwards therefrom, with the inclined side surface SF12, where the corner edge ET (U) can rise on the installation surface. The separating surface element TF1 is turned outward with the integrally formed bracket BU1 and applied to the partial surface DF1 of the first partial volume. Part surface DF1 and bracket BU1 are aligned with each other.

Wesentlich ist, dass in der in Fig. 9A, 9B skizzierten Aufstellung die Stützkante SK1 des Trennflächenelements TF1 und/oder verlängerte Laschen LA und/oder bei entsprechender Abwandlung der Bügelform der Bügel BU1 wenigstens punktuell auf der Aufstellfläche ST aufstehen und das von der Aufstellebene nach oben beabstandete Teilvolumen TV1 an einer dem zweiten Teilvolumen beabstandeten und von der unteren Eckkante ET(U) nach hinten versetzten Position abstützen. Die Abstützung kann wie entlang der Stützkante SK1 linienförmig, wie an dem Bügel BU1 annähernd punktförmig oder in nicht skizzierter Ausführung auch flächig sein. Die von der kurzen Seitenfläche SF21 des zweiten Teilvolumens und der Abstützung der das Stützelement TF1 mit SK1 und/oder BU1 aufgespannte Fläche schließt die Vertikalprojektion des Schwerpunkts des gesamten Behälters samt Inhalt ein, so dass der Behälter in dieser Aufstellung der zweiten Position der Teilvolumina stabil steht und in dem offenen ersten Teilvolumen TV1 die Ware, z.B. ein Schuh eines Paares ansprechend präsentiert werden kann. Das zweite Teilvolumen kann durch das Trennflächenelement TF2 abgedeckt sein, welche dann vorteilhafterweise an ihrer dem Betrachter zugewandten Seite einen Hinweis auf die Beschaffenheit der Ware, auf den Hersteller etc. tragen kann.It is essential that in the in Figs. 9A, 9B Outlined outline the supporting edge SK1 of the separating surface element TF1 and / or extended tabs LA and / or with a corresponding modification of the bow shape of the bracket BU1 at least selectively on the footing ST stand up and spaced from the mounting plane up part volume TV1 at a second sub-volume spaced from and Support lower corner edge ET (U) offset to rear position. The support may be as line along the support edge SK1 linear, as on the bracket BU1 approximately punctiform or non-sketched version also flat. The surface defined by the short side surface SF21 of the second sub-volume and the support of the support element TF1 with SK1 and / or BU1 includes the vertical projection of the center of gravity of the entire container and its contents so that the container is stable in this setup of the second position of the sub-volumes and in the open first sub-volume TV1 the goods, for example, a shoe of a couple can be presented attractively. The second partial volume can be covered by the separating surface element TF2, which can then advantageously bear on its side facing the viewer an indication of the nature of the goods, on the manufacturer, etc.

Stützelemente mit der wesentlichen Funktion, dass das erste Teilvolumen an einer von dem zweiten Teilvolumen und der vorderen unteren Kante beabstandeten Stelle abgestützt ist, können in einer Vielzahl von Ausführungen realisierbar sein. Vorzugsweise ist die kurze Seitenfläche des zweiten Teilvolumens im wesentlichen eben und flächig auf der Aufstellfläche aufliegend und Stützkante und/oder Stützpunkt(e) und/oder Stützfläche eines oder mehrerer Stützelemente sind in eine durch die kurze Seitenfläche SF21 bestimmten Standebene in der zweiten, aufgeklappten Position des Behälter legbar. Beispielsweise kann für die in Fig. 9 skizzierte Situation zusätzlich zu oder anstelle von der Abstützung durch die Stützkante SK1 und/oder den Bügel BU1 auch in der an die Seitenfläche SF12 in dem Zuschnitt nach Fig. 8 anschließenden Hilfsfläche HFA1, welche während der Quaderform des Behälters entlang der Trennfläche verläuft oder innen an der Seitenfläche SF12 anliegt, eine umfaltbare Keilfläche KEFH ausgebildet ist, wobei in der aufgeklappten zweiten Position des Behälters die Hilfsfläche HFA1 unter das erste Teilvolumen umgefaltet ist und die Keilfläche um die Falzlinie FH zu einem vertikalen Stützkeil unter der schräg verlaufenden langen Seitenfläche SF12 aufgefaltet ist. Eine solche Keilfläche kann auch durch eine sich seitlich an die Hilfsfläche HFA1 anschließende umfaltbare Keilfläche gebildet sein. In wieder anderer Ausführung kann die Hilfsfläche HFA1 von der Seitenfläche SF12 weg um einen weiteren umfaltbaren Abschnitt SAH verlängert sein, welcher nach Umfaltung der Hilfsfläche HFA1 unter die Seitenfläche SF12 in Richtung dieser Seitenfläche SF12 als vertikale oder schräge Abstützung aufgefaltet wird. Ein in Richtung der Seitenfläche SF12 aufgefalteter Flächenabschnitt von der Hilfsfläche HFA1 her kann durch Einstecken in einen Schlitz oder eine Aussparung in der Seitenfläche SF12 gesichert werden.Support members having the essential function of supporting the first subvolume at a location spaced from the second subvolume and the forward lower edge may be practicable in a variety of configurations. Preferably, the short side surface of the second sub-volume is substantially flat and surface resting on the footprint and supporting edge (s) and / or support surface of one or more support elements are in a determined by the short side surface SF21 level in the second, unfolded position of the container layable. For example, for the in Fig. 9 sketched situation in addition to or instead of the Support by the support edge SK1 and / or the bracket BU1 also in the side surface SF12 in the blank after Fig. 8 adjoining auxiliary surface HFA1, which runs along the separating surface during the cuboidal shape of the container or bears against the side surface SF12, a foldable wedge surface KEFH is formed, wherein in the unfolded second position of the container, the auxiliary surface HFA1 is folded under the first partial volume and the wedge surface to the fold line FH is unfolded to a vertical support wedge under the oblique long side surface SF12. Such a wedge surface can also be formed by a foldable wedge surface adjoining laterally on the auxiliary surface HFA1. In yet another embodiment, the auxiliary surface HFA1 may be extended away from the side surface SF12 by another foldable portion SAH which, after folding over of the auxiliary surface HFA1, is folded under the side surface SF12 in the direction of this side surface SF12 as a vertical or oblique support. A surface portion unfolded in the direction of the side surface SF12 from the auxiliary surface HFA1 can be secured by insertion into a slit or a recess in the side surface SF12.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine Ausführungsform mit einer seitlichen Fortsatzfläche an der Hilfsfläche HFA1, z.B. in der Form einer Keilfläche KEF1, deren Verbindungskante HK mit der Hilfsfläche von einer Seite her einen Schlitz HS aufweist, vorzugsweise an einer von der Seitenfläche SF12 beabstandeten Position. Die Fortsatzfläche und die Hilfsfläche werden bei geöffnetem Behälter für die Aufstellposition nach Fig. 9A nach hinten unten umgeschlagen und flach mit der Verbindungskante und dem Schlitz unter die Stützkante des Trennflächenelements TF1 positioniert. Durch leichtes Umbiegen eines hinteren Abschnitts HA der Fortsatzfläche im Bereich des Schlitzes HS wie in Fig. 9B legt sich die Schlitzkante leicht klemmend an das aufgeklappte Trennflächenelement TF1 an und hält TF1 zuverlässig in der an der Deckfläche DF1 anliegenden Position. Eine Zwischenstellung beim Ausklappen von Hilfsfläche HFA1 mit Fortsatzfläche FS, letztere kann im geschlossenen Behälterzustand gegen die Hilfsfläche HFA1 umgefaltet innen an der Deckfläche DF1 anliegen, ist in Fig. 9A eingezeichnet.Particularly advantageous is an embodiment with a lateral extension surface on the auxiliary surface HFA1, for example in the form of a wedge surface KEF1 whose connecting edge HK with the auxiliary surface from one side has a slot HS, preferably at a position spaced from the side surface SF12 position. The extension surface and the auxiliary surface become with the container open for the installation position Fig. 9A turned back down and positioned flat with the connecting edge and the slot under the supporting edge of the separating surface element TF1. By slightly bending a rear portion HA of the extension surface in the region of the slot HS as in Fig. 9B places the slot edge slightly clamped to the unfolded interface element TF1 and holds TF1 reliable in the voltage applied to the top surface DF1 Position. An intermediate position during the unfolding of auxiliary surface HFA1 with extension surface FS, the latter can lie folded against the auxiliary surface HFA1 in the closed container state inside the cover surface DF1, is in Fig. 9A located.

Anstelle des von Hand auffaltbaren und zerstörungsfrei wieder zerlegbaren Behälters mit einem Zuschnitt nach Fig. 8 kann selbstverständlich auch ein maschinell aufzufaltender und/oder geklebter Behälter mit anderen ebenen Zuschnitt vorgesehen sein.Instead of by hand unfoldable and non-destructible dismountable container with a blank after Fig. 8 Of course, a machine to be folded and / or glued container can be provided with another flat blank.

Der durch Deckfläche und Grundfläche gegebene Grundriss des Behälters ist nicht notwendigerweise exakt rechteckig und die Trennfläche nicht zwingend exakt diagonal. Fig. 10 zeigt ein Beispiel für einen Grundriss mit wenigstens einer abgeschrägten Ecke und nicht exakt diagonal geführter Trennfläche. Der auch für solche Formen mögliche ebene Zuschnitt ist aber komplexer in der Auffaltung.The given by top surface and base plan of the container is not necessarily exactly rectangular and the separation surface is not necessarily exactly diagonal. Fig. 10 shows an example of a floor plan with at least one bevelled corner and not exactly diagonally guided separation surface. The possible even cut for such forms flat cut but is more complex in the unfolding.

Weitere Varianten für die Ausbildung von Stützelementen für die beschreibene Funktion der Abstützung des ersten Teilvolumen in einer Fig. 9 entsprechenden Aufstellung sind möglich. Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführung ist in Fig. 11 bis Fig. 14 skizziert.Other variants for the formation of support elements for the described function of supporting the first sub-volume in one Fig. 9 appropriate list are possible. A particularly advantageous embodiment is in 11 to FIG. 14 outlined.

Die Fig. 11 zeigt einen Behälter in Schrägansicht. Der Behälter weist in Übereinstimmung mit den bereits beschriebenen Ausführungen als Behältereinhüllende eine Quaderform auf, deren rechteckige Grundfläche durch eine Falzlinie FL in zwei Teilflächen GF1 und GF2 unterteilt ist. Der Behälter ist durch Umfalzen entlang der Falzlinie FL in zwei entlang der Falzlinie zusammenhängende Teilvolumina aufteilbar, welche jeweils die dreiecksförmigen Teil-Grundflächen GF1 und GF2 als Grundriss haben. Die Teilvolumina sind der Grundfläche abgewandt durch entsprechend dreieckförmige Deckflächen DF1 und DF2 abgeschlossen. Die Teil-Deckfläche DF2, welche der Teil-Grundfläche GF2 gegenübersteht, ist in der Position des Behälters nach Fig. 11 nicht sichtbar.The Fig. 11 shows a container in an oblique view. The container has, in accordance with the previously described embodiments, as a container envelope a cuboid shape whose rectangular base is divided by a fold line FL into two partial surfaces GF1 and GF2. The container can be divided by folding along the fold line FL into two partial volumes which are connected along the fold line and which each have the triangular-shaped partial bases GF1 and GF2 as a plan view. The partial volumes are facing away from the base completed by corresponding triangular top surfaces DF1 and DF2. The partial top surface DF2, which faces the partial base GF2, is in the position of the container Fig. 11 not visible.

Die Teil-Deckfläche DF1 setzt sich entlang einer weiteren Falzlinie ZL, welche in der Projektion senkrecht zur Deckfläche mit der darunter verborgenen Trennlinie TL zusammenfällt, in einer Zusatzfläche TF fort, welche die zweite Teil-Deckfläche DF2 überdeckt und in Größe und Form dieser im wesentlichen gleich ist. Die Zusatzfläche ZF weist entlang ihrer äußeren, der zusätzlichen Falzlinie ZL abgewandten Kanten senkrecht zur Flächenebene abstehende Randfalze RFL, RFK auf, welche die äußeren Kanten der Deckfläche DF2 in der in Fig. 11 skizzierten Position umgreifen. Die Randfalze können in dieser Position des Behälters insbesondere dazu dienen, durch leicht klemmendes Umgreifen des zweiten Teilvolumens entlang der Außenkanten der Teilfläche DF2 die Zusatzfläche ZF auf einfache Weise und zuverlässig in der zur Deckfläche DF2 parallelen Position zu halten.The partial top surface DF1 continues along a further fold line ZL, which coincides in the projection perpendicular to the top surface with the dividing line TL concealed underneath, in an additional surface TF, which covers the second partial top surface DF2 and substantially in size and shape thereof is equal to. The additional surface ZF has, along its outer edges facing away from the additional fold line ZL, edge seams RFL, RFK projecting perpendicularly to the plane of the surface, which edges project the outer edges of the cover surface DF2 in the in FIG Fig. 11 embrace the sketched position. In this position of the container, the edge folds can serve, in particular, to easily and reliably hold the additional surface ZF in a position parallel to the cover surface DF2 by slightly clamping the second partial volume along the outer edges of the partial surface DF2.

Die Zusatzfläche ZF mit den Randfalzen kann aus der in Fig. 11 skizzierten Position durch Schwenken in Pfeilrichtung K1 um die zusätzliche Falzlinie ZL von der zweiten Deckfläche DF2 abgehoben und um 180° so weit geschwenkt werden, dass die Zusatzfläche ZF an der ersten Deckfläche DF1 des ersten Teilvolumens anliegt. In Fig. 12 ist eine Zwischenposition gezeichnet, in welcher die Zusatzfläche ZF um ca. 3/4 ihrer maximalen Schwenkbewegung aufgeklappt ist und dabei auch die Trennlinie TL sichtbar wird.The additional surface ZF with the Randfalzen can from the in Fig. 11 sketched position by pivoting in the direction of arrow K1 to the additional folding line ZL lifted from the second deck surface DF2 and pivoted 180 ° so far that the additional surface ZF rests against the first cover surface DF1 of the first subvolume. In Fig. 12 is drawn an intermediate position in which the additional area ZF is opened by about 3/4 of their maximum pivoting movement and thereby the parting line TL is visible.

Die zwei Teilvolumina können durch Schwenken um die Falzlinie FL in der Grundfläche in Pfeilrichtung K2 in der beschriebenen Weise auseinandergeklappt werden, wobei die zuvor aneinanderliegenden Eckkanten ET1, ET2 getrennt werden. Auch diese Schwenkbewegung K2 wird mit einem Schwenkwinkel 180° ausgeführt, so dass die Teilflächen GF1, GF2 der Grundfläche im aufgeklappten Zustand aneinanderliegen. In diesem aufgeklappten Zustand verlaufen die Eckkanten ET1, ET2 der beiden Teilvolumina fortgesetzt fluchtend miteinander. In der Projektion senkrecht zu Grund- und Deckflächen sind im vollständig aufgeklappten Zustand die Zusatzfläche ZF, die Grund-Teilfläche GF2 und die Deck-Teilfläche DF2 wieder deckungsgleich ausgerichtet. Insbesondere sind auch der kurze RFK der beiden Randfalze und die schmale Quaderseite SF11 im wesentlichen in einer Ebene liegend. Das zweite Teilvolumen liegt zwischen der Zusatzfläche ZF und dem ersten Teilvolumen. Der Behälter kann damit in zu Fig. 8 entsprechender Weise auf eine Aufstellfläche ST aufgestellt werden, dass die kurze Seitenfläche SF21 des zweiten Teilvolumens und der kurze Randfalz TFK auf der Standebene ST aufstehen. Die lange Seitenfläche SF12 des ersten Teilvolumens verläuft dann gegen die Horizontale geneigt und kann, wie aus Fig. 14 in Seitenansicht mit unterbrochener Linie eingezeichnet, einen Schuh als Ware WA in schräger Position, beispielsweise gehalten durch den an einem Stufenfalz FS anstossenden Absatz des Schuhs, präsentieren. Das zweite Teilvolumen kann in dieser Präsentationsposition durch eine weitere Fortsatzfläche TF2, welche entlang der Trennlinie TL mit der Teilfläche DF2 verbunden und bei Falzlinie FL der wie an sich im Hauptpatent beschrieben ein- oder durchgesteckt sein kann, geschlossen bleiben. Die weitere Fortsatzfläche TF2 kann in der geschlossenen Position nach Fig. 13, in welcher ein zweiter Schuh eines Paares im zweiten Teilvolumen verdeckt ist, den aufgeklappten Behälter gegen seitliche Scherkräfte stabilisieren.The two sub-volumes can be unfolded by pivoting about the fold line FL in the base in the direction of arrow K2 in the manner described, wherein the previously adjacent corner edges ET1, ET2 are separated. This pivoting movement K2 is also with a swivel angle 180 ° executed, so that the partial surfaces GF1, GF2 of the base in the unfolded state adjacent to each other. In this unfolded state, the corner edges ET1, ET2 of the two sub-volumes continue to run in alignment with each other. In the projection perpendicular to the base and top surfaces, the additional surface ZF, the base partial surface GF2 and the cover partial surface DF2 are aligned again in the completely unfolded state. In particular, the short RFK of the two Randfalze and the narrow square side SF11 are essentially lying in one plane. The second partial volume lies between the additional area ZF and the first partial volume. The container can handle it in too Fig. 8 be placed on a footprint ST corresponding manner, that the short side surface SF21 of the second sub-volume and the short edge fold TFK stand up on the stand level ST. The long side surface SF12 of the first sub-volume then runs inclined to the horizontal and can, as out Fig. 14 drawn in side view with a broken line, a shoe as a product WA in an oblique position, for example, held by the abutting on a stepped rebate FS heel of the shoe present. The second sub-volume can in this presentation position by a further extension surface TF2, which along the dividing line TL connected to the partial area DF2 and fold line FL which may be on or inserted as described in the main patent, remain closed. The further extension surface TF2 can in the closed position to Fig. 13 in which a second shoe of a pair is concealed in the second sub-volume, stabilizing the unfolded container against lateral shear forces.

Die Randfalze RFK, RFL dienen in dieser vollständig aufgeklappten Position primär zur Stabilisierung der Zusatzfläche ZF, welche die dem zweiten Teilvolumen abgewandte seitliche Stütze für das erste Teilvolumen bildet. In dem Bereich der Randfalze RFL, RFK können günstigerweise dabei auch noch ausfaltbare Kartonabschnitte enthalten sein, welche durch Umfalzen und Aufstecken auf die weitere Falzlinie ZL, die um 180° gegen die Teilfläche DF1 verschwenkte Zusatzfläche in dieser Schwenkposition halten. Andere Haltemittel wie Klebepunkte oder Klett-Verchluss-Punkte an korrespondierenden Stellen von Teilfläche DF2 und Zusatzfläche ZF sind an sich bereits erwähnt worden und/oder bekannt. Mit derartigen Halteelementen kann prinzipiell auch die Zusatzfläche ZF in der in Fig. 11 skizzierten geschlossenen Position gehalten sein.The edge folds RFK, RFL serve in this fully unfolded position primarily for the stabilization of the additional surface ZF, which forms the second subvolume facing away from the lateral support for the first subvolume. In the area of the edge folds RFL, RFK, it is expedient to be able to also contain foldable cardboard sections, which can be folded and put on on the further fold line ZL, which hold 180 ° against the partial surface DF1 pivoted additional surface in this pivotal position. Other holding means such as adhesive dots or Velcro closure points at corresponding locations of partial area DF2 and additional area ZF have already been mentioned and / or known per se. With such holding elements can in principle also the additional area ZF in the in Fig. 11 be kept sketched closed position.

Erfindungsgemäße Behälter können auch in der in Fig. 13 und Fig. 14 aufgeklappten Position vorteilhafterweise in der Art aneinandergerückt aufgestellt sein, dass sich in der Darstellung nach Fig. 13 links und/oder rechts weitere Behälter so anschließen, dass die Teil-Deckfläche DF2 eines Behälters an der Zusatzfläche ZF des unmittelbar benachbarten Behälters anliegt und von dessen Randfalzen hinten und unten umgriffen wird.Containers according to the invention can also be used in the in FIGS. 13 and 14 unfolded position advantageously be placed in juxtaposed manner in the manner that in the presentation Fig. 13 connect further containers on the left and / or the right so that the partial cover surface DF2 of a container rests against the additional surface ZF of the immediately adjacent container and is encompassed behind and below by its edge folds.

Die vorstehend und die in den Ansprüchen angegebenen sowie die den Abbildungen entnehmbaren Merkmale sind sowohl einzeln als auch in verschiedener Kombination vorteilhaft realisierbar. Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt, sondern im Rahmen fachmännischen Könnens in mancherlei Weise abwandelbar. Insbesondere sind neben den skizzierten Beispielen für ebene auffaltbare Querschnitte andere Lösungen möglich. In dem aufgefalteten Behälter können Teilflächen auch unlösbar verbunden, z.B. geklebt oder verklammert sein. Verläufe von Falzlinien, Trennlinien, Trennflächen sind in Abweichung von dem skizzierten Beispielen einer großen Variationsbreite im Rahmen der Erfindung zugänglich.The features indicated above and in the claims, as well as the features which can be seen in the figures, can be implemented advantageously both individually and in various combinations. The invention is not limited to the described embodiment, but in the skill of the art in many ways can be modified. In particular, other solutions are possible in addition to the examples outlined for flat unfoldable cross-sections. In the unfolded container, partial areas can also be connected inseparably, e.g. be glued or clamped. Gradients of fold lines, parting lines, separating surfaces are in deviation from the outlined examples of a wide range of variations within the scope of the invention accessible.
