Definitions
- the invention relates to a foldable sheet material device for forming containers for receiving containers, to a blank for forming such a device and to a packaging formed with such a device.
- Bottles are often transported and stored in outer packaging made of cardboard. To avoid glass contact and glass breakage, the bottles in the outer packaging are often arranged in compartments and thus separated from each other.
- the compartments are conventionally formed by two groups of cardboard strips.
- the cardboard strips of one group have slots extending from the bottom, which extend approximately half the height.
- the cardboard strips of the other group have slots extending from the top, which also extend about half the height. At the slots, the cardboard strips are nested so that they form a kind of grid that limits the compartments.
- the preparation and assembly of the known apparatus for forming compartments are relatively expensive.
- the cost of materials is high.
- the unfolding and insertion of the devices in outer packaging is expensive.
- the cardboard strips of the loosely assembled construction can easily fall apart. As a result, high machine speeds are prevented when inserting the device in an outer packaging.
- the FR 2 779 121 A describes a foldable sheet material apparatus for forming trays for containers having two parallel longitudinal strips and two transverse wings connected by first fold lines to the longitudinal strips. Cross wings connected to adjacent longitudinal strips are interconnected in overlapping areas. At least one transverse strip is connected via second folding lines with two adjacent longitudinal strips ( Fig. 7 and 8th ).
- the present invention seeks to provide a device of foldable flat material for forming compartments for receiving containers, which has a lower cost of materials and is more user-friendly. It is a further object of the invention to provide a blank for forming such a device. Finally, the invention is directed to a package with a device of the aforementioned kind.

Rather, it is possible to punch out the transverse wings of the material of the longitudinal strips and fold out to form the compartments of the longitudinal strips.
- at least one transverse strip is folded along the second fold lines transversely to the longitudinal strips.
- transverse wings connected to adjacent longitudinal strips are interconnected in the overlapping area ensures that adjacent longitudinal strips are connected to one another in an articulated manner by at least one transverse wing.
- This makes it possible to erect the device from a flat folded state into a stable configuration having the compartments for receiving the containers.
- the transverse wings can be folded back in the folded state of the device in the recesses of the longitudinal strips, from which they are punched out.
- strong material accumulation and uneven layer distributions in the stack of merged devices are avoided.
- This also facilitates the insertion of the device into an outer packaging. If the transverse wings in the overlapping areas are firmly connected to each other, the device is stable, so that it does not fall apart when inserted into the outer carton. Overall, a considerable saving of material is achieved and the possible processing speeds are increased and the process reliability considerably improved.
- the longitudinal strips can be provided on only one side with transverse wings that delimit compartments on only one side of the longitudinal strips.
- transverse wings that delimit compartments on only one side of the longitudinal strips.
- compartments bounding transverse wings are present.
- At least one transverse wing is connected to a further transverse wing in an interruption of the first fold line.
- the interconnected transverse wings define one side of a compartment on either side of the same longitudinal strip.
- the transverse wings may originally be separate from the longitudinal strips, which are fixedly connected to the longitudinal strips to form a fold line between the longitudinal strips and the transverse wings.
- a material saving is already possible, e.g. in that transverse wings are used which, for example, have a lower height than the longitudinal strips.
- at least one transverse wing is punched out of a longitudinal strip.
- a transverse wing may have a serrated or wavy edge region which covers the adjacent transverse wing.
- at least one overlapping region has a tongue, tab or other projection projecting from a transverse wing.

- connection in the overlapping area can be, for example, a plug connection between a barbed tongue of one transverse wing with a slot of the other transverse wing.
- the transverse wings are connected to each other via bonds. This is particularly advantageous in terms of production technology and leads to a fixed connection of the transverse wings to one another and thus to a stable configuration of the device.
- the longitudinal strips each have a plurality of transverse wings. This can be provided with a single device a variety of compartments.
- the transverse strip has at least one section which is connected to a transverse wing in an interruption of the first and / or second fold line.

Flaschen werden vielfach in Umverpackungen aus Karton transportiert und gelagert. Zur Vermeidung von Glaskontakt und Glasbruch sind die Flaschen in den Umverpackungen vielfach in Gefachen angeordnet und somit voneinander getrennt. Die Gefache sind herkömmlicherweise durch zwei Gruppen Kartonstreifen gebildet. Die Kartonstreifen der einen Gruppe haben von der Unterseite ausgehende Schlitze, die sich etwa über die halbe Höhe erstrecken. Die Kartonstreifen der anderen Gruppe haben von der Oberseite ausgehende Schlitze, die sich ebenfalls etwa über die halbe Höhe erstrecken. An den Schlitzen sind die Kartonstreifen ineinandergesteckt, so daß sie eine Art Gitter bilden, das die Gefache begrenzt.Bottles are often transported and stored in outer packaging made of cardboard. To avoid glass contact and glass breakage, the bottles in the outer packaging are often arranged in compartments and thus separated from each other. The compartments are conventionally formed by two groups of cardboard strips. The cardboard strips of one group have slots extending from the bottom, which extend approximately half the height. The cardboard strips of the other group have slots extending from the top, which also extend about half the height. At the slots, the cardboard strips are nested so that they form a kind of grid that limits the compartments.
Die Herstellung und das Zusammensetzen der bekannten Vorrichtung zum Bilden von Gefachen sind verhältnismäßig aufwendig. Der Materialaufwand ist hoch. Es ist zwar möglich, die Vorrichtung zusammenzufalten. Wegen der unterschiedlichen Anzahl übereinanderliegender Lagen kann es jedoch bei Lagerung einer Vielzahl zusammengefalteter Vorrichtungen übereinander zu ungleichmäßigen Stapeln kommen, die zum Verrutschen neigen und damit die Verwendung erschweren. Auch das Auffalten und Einsetzen der Vorrichtungen in Umverpackungen ist aufwendig. Die Kartonstreifen der lose zusammengesteckten Konstruktion können leicht auseinanderfallen. Hierdurch werden hohe Maschinengeschwindigkeiten beim Einsetzen der Vorrichtung in eine Umverpackung verhindert.The preparation and assembly of the known apparatus for forming compartments are relatively expensive. The cost of materials is high. Although it is possible to fold the device. Due to the different number of superimposed layers, however, it can occur when storing a plurality of folded devices one above the other to uneven stacks that tend to slip and thus the Complicate use. The unfolding and insertion of the devices in outer packaging is expensive. The cardboard strips of the loosely assembled construction can easily fall apart. As a result, high machine speeds are prevented when inserting the device in an outer packaging.

Die Vorrichtung weist mindestens einen über zweite Faltlinien mit zwei benachbarten Längsstreifen verbundenen Querstreifen auf. Gemäß einer anderen Ausgestaltung hat die Vorrichtung mindestens einen über Querflügel mit zwei benachbarten Längsstreifen verbundenen Querstreifen.The device has at least one transverse strip connected via second fold lines with two adjacent longitudinal strips. According to another embodiment, the device has at least one transverse strip connected to two adjacent longitudinal strips via transverse wings.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung basiert auf Längsstreifen, die an einem benachbarten Ende über einen Querstreifen miteinander verbunden sind. Durch die Längsstreifen können in Reihen nebeneinander stehende Flaschen oder andere Behälter voneinander getrennt werden. Des weiteren weist die Vorrichtung Querflügel auf, die es ermöglichen, in den Reihen nebeneinander angeordnete Behälter voneinander zu trennen. Zusätzlich ist eine Trennung von Behältern in den Reihen durch den Querstreifen am Ende der Längsstreifen möglich. Diese Konstruktion vermeidet eine Vielzahl zusätzlicher Querstreifen, die herkömmlicherweise mit den Längsstreifen zur Bildung von Gefachen zusammengesteckt werden. Es ist vielmehr möglich, die Querflügel aus dem Material der Längsstreifen auszustanzen und zur Bildung der Gefache aus den Längsstreifen herauszufalten. Gegebenenfalls wird mindestens ein Querstreifen entlang der zweiten Faltlinien quer zu den Längsstreifen geklappt. Hierdurch kann der Materialaufwand für das Bilden der Vorrichtung etwa auf die Hälfte gegenüber herkömmlichen Vorrichtungen reduziert werden. Zudem wird dadurch, daß mit benachbarten Längsstreifen verbundene Querflügel im Überlappungsbereich miteinander verbunden sind erreicht, daß benachbarte Längsstreifen durch mindestens einen Querflügel gelenkig miteinander verbunden sind. Dies ermöglicht es, die Vorrichtung aus einem flach zusammengefalteten Zustand in eine stabile Konfiguration aufzurichten, welche die Gefache für die Aufnahme der Behälter aufweist. Dabei können die Querflügel im zusammengeklappten Zustand der Vorrichtung in die Ausnehmungen der Längsstreifen zurückgefaltet werden, aus denen sie herausgestanzt sind. Hierdurch werden starke Materialanhäufungen und ungleichmäßige Schichtenverteilungen im Stapel zusammengelegter Vorrichtungen vermieden. Hierdurch wird auch das Einsetzen der Vorrichtung in eine Umverpackung erleichtert. Wenn die Querflügel in den Überlappungsbereichen fest miteinander verbunden sind, ist die Vorrichtung stabil, so daß sie beim Einsetzen in den Umkarton nicht auseinanderfällt. Insgesamt wird eine erhebliche Materialersparnis erzielt und werden die möglichen Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeiten erhöht sowie die Prozeßsicherheit erheblich verbessert.The device according to the invention is based on longitudinal strips, which are connected to one another at an adjacent end via a transverse strip. The longitudinal strips can be used to separate bottles or other containers that are next to each other in rows. Furthermore, the device has transverse wings, which make it possible to separate containers arranged side by side in the rows. In addition, a separation of containers in the rows by the horizontal strip at the end of the longitudinal strips is possible. This construction avoids a multiplicity of additional transverse strips conventionally used with the longitudinal strips Formation of compartments to be put together. Rather, it is possible to punch out the transverse wings of the material of the longitudinal strips and fold out to form the compartments of the longitudinal strips. Optionally, at least one transverse strip is folded along the second fold lines transversely to the longitudinal strips. As a result, the material costs for the formation of the device can be reduced to about half compared to conventional devices. In addition, the fact that transverse wings connected to adjacent longitudinal strips are interconnected in the overlapping area ensures that adjacent longitudinal strips are connected to one another in an articulated manner by at least one transverse wing. This makes it possible to erect the device from a flat folded state into a stable configuration having the compartments for receiving the containers. In this case, the transverse wings can be folded back in the folded state of the device in the recesses of the longitudinal strips, from which they are punched out. As a result, strong material accumulation and uneven layer distributions in the stack of merged devices are avoided. This also facilitates the insertion of the device into an outer packaging. If the transverse wings in the overlapping areas are firmly connected to each other, the device is stable, so that it does not fall apart when inserted into the outer carton. Overall, a considerable saving of material is achieved and the possible processing speeds are increased and the process reliability considerably improved.
Grundsätzlich können die Längsstreifen auf nur einer Seite mit Querflügeln versehen sein, die Gefache auf nur einer Seite der Längsstreifen begrenzen. Bevorzugt sind auf beiden Seiten der Längsstreifen Gefache begrenzende Querflügel vorhanden.Basically, the longitudinal strips can be provided on only one side with transverse wings that delimit compartments on only one side of the longitudinal strips. Preferably, on both sides of the longitudinal strips compartments bounding transverse wings are present.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung ist mindestens ein Querflügel in einer Unterbrechung der ersten Faltlinie mit einem weiteren Querflügel verbunden. Die miteinander verbundenen Querflügel begrenzen auf beiden Seiten desselben Längsstreifens eine Seite eines Gefaches. Hierdurch ist eine besonders materialsparende Gefachbildung möglich.According to one embodiment, at least one transverse wing is connected to a further transverse wing in an interruption of the first fold line. The interconnected transverse wings define one side of a compartment on either side of the same longitudinal strip. As a result, a particularly material-saving Gefachbildung is possible.
Grundsätzlich können die Querflügel ursprünglich von den Längsstreifen getrennte Teile sein, die fest mit den Längsstreifen verbunden sind unter Ausbildung einer Faltlinie zwischen den Längsstreifen und den Querflügeln. Auch hierbei ist bereits eine Materialeinsparung möglich, z.B. indem Querflügel eingesetzt werden, die beispielsweise eine geringere Höhe als die Längsstreifen aufweisen. Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung, die besonders materialsparend ist, ist mindestens ein Querflügel aus einem Längsstreifen herausgestanzt.In principle, the transverse wings may originally be separate from the longitudinal strips, which are fixedly connected to the longitudinal strips to form a fold line between the longitudinal strips and the transverse wings. Here, too, a material saving is already possible, e.g. in that transverse wings are used which, for example, have a lower height than the longitudinal strips. According to a preferred embodiment, which is particularly material-saving, at least one transverse wing is punched out of a longitudinal strip.
Die Überlappungsbereiche zwischen den Querflügeln können unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein. Beispielsweise kann ein Querflügel einen gezackten oder wellenförmigen Randbereich haben, der den benachbarten Querflügel überdeckt. Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung weist mindestens ein Überlappungsbereich eine Zunge, Lasche oder anderen Vorsprung auf, der von einem Querflügel vorsteht. Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung ist dem Vorsprung eine komplementäre Ausstanzung eines Querflügels zugeordnet, die den die Zunge tragenden Querflügel in demselben Längsstreifen benachbart ist. Bei dieser und bei anderen Ausgestaltungen des Überlappungsbereiches wird vorteilhaft der Vorsprung des Überlappungsbereiches aus einer Ausstanzung eines benachbarten Querflügels desselben Längsstreifens gewonnen.The overlapping areas between the transverse wings can be designed differently. For example, a transverse wing may have a serrated or wavy edge region which covers the adjacent transverse wing. According to one embodiment, at least one overlapping region has a tongue, tab or other projection projecting from a transverse wing. According to a further embodiment, the projection is associated with a complementary punching a transverse wing, which carries the tongue carrying transverse wing in the same longitudinal strip is adjacent. In this and in other embodiments of the overlapping region, the projection of the overlapping region is advantageously obtained from a punching out of an adjacent transverse wing of the same longitudinal strip.
Die Verbindung im Überlappungsbereich kann beispielsweise eine Steckverbindung zwischen einer mit Widerhaken versehenen Zunge des einen Querflügels mit einem Steckschlitz des anderen Querflügels sein. Gemäß einer anderen Ausgestaltung sind die Querflügel über Verklebungen miteinander verbunden. Dies ist produktionstechnisch besonders vorteilhaft und führt zu einer festen Verbindung der Querflügel miteinander und damit einer stabilen Konfiguration der Vorrichtung.The connection in the overlapping area can be, for example, a plug connection between a barbed tongue of one transverse wing with a slot of the other transverse wing. According to another embodiment, the transverse wings are connected to each other via bonds. This is particularly advantageous in terms of production technology and leads to a fixed connection of the transverse wings to one another and thus to a stable configuration of the device.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung weisen die Längsstreifen jeweils mehrere Querflügel auf. Hierdurch kann mit einer einzigen Vorrichtung eine Vielzahl Gefache bereitgestellt werden.According to one embodiment, the longitudinal strips each have a plurality of transverse wings. This can be provided with a single device a variety of compartments.
Der Querstreifen weist zumindest einen Abschnitt auf, der in einer Unterbrechung der ersten und/oder zweiten Faltlinie mit einem Querflügel verbunden ist. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung ist in Fortsetzung des Querstreifens ein Querflügel vorhanden, der ein zusätzliches Gefach auf einer Seite begrenzt. Bevorzugt ist der Querstreifen an beiden Enden mit jeweils einem Querflügel verbunden. Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung ist der gesamte Querstreifen an den beiden Enden über die Querflügel und die ersten Faltlinien mit den benachbarten Längsstreifen verbunden. Gemäß einer anderen Ausgestaltung ist nur ein Abschnitt des Querstreifens über die Querflügel und die ersten Faltlinien mit den benachbarten Längsstreifen verbunden. Mindestens ein weiterer Abschnitt des Querstreifens ist über zweite Faltlinien mit den benachbarten Längsstreifen verbunden.The transverse strip has at least one section which is connected to a transverse wing in an interruption of the first and / or second fold line. In this embodiment, a transverse wing is present in continuation of the transverse strip, which limits an additional Gefach on one side. Preferably, the transverse strip is connected at both ends, each with a transverse wing. According to one embodiment, the entire transverse strip is connected at both ends via the transverse wings and the first fold lines with the adjacent longitudinal strips. According to another embodiment, only a portion of the transverse strip over the Transverse wing and the first fold lines connected to the adjacent longitudinal strips. At least a further portion of the transverse strip is connected via second fold lines with the adjacent longitudinal strips.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung weist mindestens ein Längsstreifen einen Endbereich auf, der von der zweiten Faltlinie eines benachbarten Querstreifens und/oder von der ersten Faltlinie eines benachbarten Querflügels vorsteht. Der Endbereich begrenzt neben dem Querstreifen bzw. neben dem Querflügel ein weiteres Gefach auf einer Seite. Grundsätzlich kann die Vorrichtung auch ohne vorstehenden Endbereich der Längsstreifen ausgeführt sein. Der Querstreifen bzw. der endseitige Querflügel kann sich dann an der Innenseite einer Umverpackung abstützen.According to a further embodiment, at least one longitudinal strip has an end region which projects from the second fold line of an adjacent transverse strip and / or from the first fold line of an adjacent transverse flap. The end area bounded next to the horizontal strip or next to the transverse wing another Gefach on one side. In principle, the device can also be designed without projecting end region of the longitudinal strips. The transverse strip or the end-side transverse wing can then be supported on the inside of an outer packaging.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung steht der Endbereich von der zweiten Faltlinie und/oder von der ersten Faltlinie um einen dem Durchmesser eines Behälters entsprechenden Abstand vor. Der solchermaßen bemessene Endbereich kann sich an der Innenseite einer Umverpackung abstützen, so daß die Vorrichtung an dieser Stelle korrekt zu der Umverpackung positioniert ist.According to a further embodiment, the end region protrudes from the second fold line and / or from the first fold line by a distance corresponding to the diameter of a container. The thus sized end portion can be supported on the inside of an outer packaging, so that the device is correctly positioned at this point to the outer packaging.
Hierzu weisen bevorzugt die beiden äußeren Längsstreifen jeweils mindestens einen um einen Abstand entsprechend dem Durchmesser eines Behälters vorstehenden Endbereich auf. Wenn die beiden äußeren Längsstreifen jeweils an beiden Enden einen solchen Endbereich haben, können sich diese in einer Umverpackung abstützen, so daß die Gefache stets korrekt konfiguriert sind. Gemäß einer anderen Ausgestaltung liegen die vorstehenden Endbereiche der äußeren Längsstreifen einander diagonal gegenüber. Bevorzugt befinden sich die beiden vorstehenden Endbereiche an den Enden, auf die die Rückstellkräfte wirken, welche die Vorrichtung in die zusammengefaltete Position belasten. Infolgedessen wird die Vorrichtung in einer Umverpackung stabil in einer Konfiguration gehalten, in der Behälter in die Gefache einsetzbar sind.For this purpose, the two outer longitudinal strips preferably each have at least one end region projecting by a distance corresponding to the diameter of a container. If the two outer longitudinal strips each have such an end region at both ends, these can be supported in an outer packaging, so that the compartments are always configured correctly. According to another embodiment, the projecting end portions of the outer longitudinal strips diagonally opposite each other. Preferably, the two projecting end portions are located at the ends on which the return forces act, loading the device in the folded position. As a result, the device is stably held in a package in a configuration in which containers can be inserted into the compartments.
Gemäß einer anderen Ausgestaltung unterschreitet der Überstand des Endbereiches den Durchmesser eines Behälters. Diese Ausgestaltung ist insbesondere vorteilhaft, wenn die Vorrichtung vor dem Einsetzen in eine Umverpackung mit Behältern befüllt wird, da sie leichter in den Umkarton einsetzbar ist.According to another embodiment of the supernatant of the end portion undershoots the diameter of a container. This embodiment is particularly advantageous when the device is filled with containers prior to insertion into an outer packaging, since it is easier to insert into the outer carton.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung weist mindestens ein Querflügel, der mit einem außen angeordneten Längsstreifen verbunden ist, einen maximalen Überstand über die den Querflügel mit dem Längsstreifen verbindende erste Faltlinie auf, der dem Durchmesser eines Behälters entspricht. Hierdurch ist es möglich, die Vorrichtung auch über den Querflügel lagerichtig in einer Umverpackung zu positionieren.According to one embodiment, at least one transverse wing, which is connected to an externally arranged longitudinal strip, has a maximum projection over the transverse fold connecting the longitudinal strip to the first folding line, which corresponds to the diameter of a container. This makes it possible to position the device in the correct position over the transverse wing in an outer packaging.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung weisen die äußeren Längsstreifen jeweils mindestens zwei Querflügel mit einem entsprechenden Überstand auf. Dies ermöglicht es, die Vorrichtung in einer Umverpackung auch in Querrichtung sicher in der korrekten Stellung zu halten, die ohne weiteres ein Einsetzen von Flaschen ermöglicht. Gemäß einer anderen Ausgestaltung sind die Querflügel mit dem entsprechenden Überstand nur an zwei einander diagonal gegenüberliegenden Endbereichen der Längsstreifen vorhanden. Bei entsprechend gerichteten Rückstellkräften wird hierbei die Vorrichtung in der gewünschten Anordnung fixiert.According to a further embodiment, the outer longitudinal strips each have at least two transverse wings with a corresponding projection. This makes it possible to securely hold the device in an overpack even in the transverse direction in the correct position, which allows easy insertion of bottles. According to another embodiment, the transverse wings with the corresponding projection on only two diagonally opposite end portions of the longitudinal strips present. With correspondingly restoring forces, in this case the device is fixed in the desired arrangement.
Gemäß einer anderen Ausgestaltung unterschreiten die Überstände der Querflügel den Durchmesser eines Behälters. Diese Ausgestaltung ist insbesondere vorteilhaft, wenn die Vorrichtung vor dem Einsetzen in eine Umverpackung mit Behälter befüllt wird, da sie leichter in die Umverpackung einsetzbar ist.According to another embodiment, the projections of the transverse wings are smaller than the diameter of a container. This embodiment is particularly advantageous when the device is filled with containers prior to insertion into an outer packaging, since it is easier to insert into the outer packaging.
Grundsätzlich ist die Anzahl Längsstreifen der Vorrichtung beliebig. Im Hinblick auf verbreitete Verpackungsgrößen hat die Vorrichtung gemäß einer Ausgestaltung zwei oder drei Längsstreifen.Basically, the number of longitudinal strips of the device is arbitrary. With regard to common packaging sizes, the device according to one embodiment has two or three longitudinal strips.
Grundsätzlich ist auch die Anzahl Querstreifen beliebig. Im Hinblick auf verbreitete Verpackungsgrößen sind gemäß einer Ausgestaltung einer oder zwei Querstreifen vorhanden.In principle, the number of transverse strips is arbitrary. With regard to common packaging sizes, according to one embodiment, one or two transverse strips are present.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung ist die Vorrichtung zusammengefaltet, so daß benachbarte Längsstreifen aufeinanderliegen und Querflügel zumindest teilweise in die Längsstreifen hineingefaltet sind, mit denen sie verbunden sind. Dies ermöglicht eine platzsparende Lagerung und einen leichten Transport sowie eine vorteilhafte Bereitstellung für das Einsetzen in eine Umverpackung.According to one embodiment, the device is folded, so that adjacent longitudinal strips lie on one another and transverse wings are at least partially folded into the longitudinal strips, with which they are connected. This allows a space-saving storage and easy transport and an advantageous provision for insertion in an outer packaging.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung ist die Vorrichtung aufgerichtet, so daß die Querflügel und gegebenenfalls der mindestens eine Querstreifen quer zu den Längsstreifen angeordnet sind. In dieser Konfiguration ist die Vorrichtung für die Aufnahme von Behältern bereit.According to one embodiment, the device is erected, so that the transverse wings and optionally the at least one transverse strip are arranged transversely to the longitudinal strips. In this configuration, the device is ready for receiving containers.
Grundsätzlich kann die Vorrichtung eine beliebige Anzahl Gefache umgrenzen. Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung umgrenzt sie im Hinblick auf verbreitete Verpackungsgrößen sechs, neun, zwölf, sechzehn, achtzehn, zwanzig oder vierundzwanzig Gefache.In principle, the device can delimit any number of compartments. According to one embodiment, it limits six, nine, twelve, sixteen, eighteen, twenty, or twentyfold divisions in view of popular packaging sizes.
Grundsätzlich kommen verschiedene Materialien für die Vorrichtung in Betracht, z.B. ein Kunststoff oder Wellpappe. Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung ist die Vorrichtung aus Karton.In principle, various materials are suitable for the device, e.g. a plastic or corrugated cardboard. According to one embodiment, the device is made of cardboard.

Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung ist der Querstreifen oder mindestens ein Abschnitt des Querstreifens über die zweiten Faltlinien mit den Längsstreifen verbunden. Erfindungsgemäß sind die den Querstreifen begrenzenden ersten Faltlinien unterbrochen, gehen von den äußeren Enden der ersten Faltlinien Querflügel in den Längsstreifen begrenzende Ausstanzungen aus, welche Querflügel zwischen den inneren Enden der ersten Faltlinien mit dem Querstreifen oder einem Abschnitt des Querstreifens verbunden sind.According to one embodiment, the transverse strip or at least a portion of the transverse strip is connected to the longitudinal strips via the second fold lines. According to the invention, the first folding lines delimiting the transverse strips are interrupted, starting from the outer ends of the first folding lines transverse wings in the longitudinal strips delimiting punch-outs, which transverse wings are connected between the inner ends of the first fold lines with the transverse strip or a portion of the transverse strip.
Der erfindungsgemäße Zuschnitt ist vorteilhaft einteilig ausgebildet, kann aber auch aus mehreren Teilen gebildet sein. Er ist in einem einfachen Stanzprozeß aus einem Bahnmaterial oder Bogenmaterial herstellbar. Für die Herstellung der Verpackung aus dem Zuschnitt müssen lediglich die Querflügel in den Überlappungsbereichen miteinander verbunden werden, wofür z.B. Steckverbindungen oder Klebeverbindungen hergestellt werden können. Die Faltlinien sind z.B. als unterbrochene Stanzlinien, Ritzlinien oder Rillinien ausgebildet.The blank according to the invention is advantageously formed in one piece, but may also be formed from several parts. It can be produced in a simple punching process from a sheet material or sheet material. For the production of the packaging from the blank, only the transverse wings in the overlapping areas need to be connected to each other, for which, for example, plug connections or adhesive connections can be produced. The fold lines are formed, for example, as interrupted punching lines, scoring lines or score lines.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung sind mindestens zwei Querflügel über eine unterbrochene erste Faltlinie an einen Längsstreifen angelenkt, wobei ein Querflügel von einer Stanzlinie begrenzt ist, die von den äußeren Enden der unterbrochenen ersten Faltlinie ausgeht und ein weiterer Querflügel von einer weiteren Stanzlinie begrenzt ist, der von den inneren Enden derselben unterbrochenen ersten Faltlinie ausgeht und auf der anderen Seite der unterbrochenen ersten Faltlinie erstreckt ist. Auf vorstehende Weise ist der Längsstreifen mit Querflügeln ausgeführt, die auf verschiedene Seiten des Längsstreifens klappbar sind.According to one embodiment, at least two transverse wings are articulated to a longitudinal strip via a discontinuous first fold line, wherein a transverse wing is bounded by a punching line, which starts from the outer ends of the interrupted first fold line and another transverse wing is bounded by a further punching line, which is bounded by the inner ends of the same interrupted first fold line and extends on the other side of the interrupted first fold line. In the above manner, the longitudinal strip is designed with transverse wings, which are foldable on different sides of the longitudinal strip.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung weisen in zumindest einem Längsstreifen benachbarte Querflügel mindestens eine in Längsrichtung vorstehende Zunge oder Lasche oder anderen Vorsprung und eine diese aufnehmende Ausstanzung auf. Die Lasche oder der andere Vorsprung bildet einen Teil eines Überlappungsbereiches, der mit einem Querflügel eines benachbarten Längsstreifens verbindbar ist. Bei diesem Zuschnitt wird der Überlappungsbereich mit besonders geringem Aufwand ermöglicht.According to a further embodiment, adjacent transverse wings in at least one longitudinal strip have at least one longitudinally projecting tongue or tab or other projection and a punch-out receiving the latter. The tab or other protrusion forms part of an overlap region which is connectable to a transverse wing of an adjacent longitudinal strip. With this blank, the overlapping area is made possible with very little effort.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung sind die ersten und/oder zweiten Faltlinien, die einen Querstreifen begrenzen, unterbrochene Faltlinien, von deren inneren und/oder äußeren Enden Ausstanzungen ausgehen, die einen vorspringenden Endbereich der Längsstreifen begrenzen. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung wird der vorspringende Endbereich vorteilhaft aus dem Querstreifen gewonnen. Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung haben die ersten und/oder zweiten Faltlinien, die einen Querstreifen oder einen Abschnitt des Querstreifens begrenzen, einen unterbrochenen Zentralbereich, von dessen inneren Enden ein Abschnitt des Querstreifens ausgeht, und von dessen äußeren Enden Ausstanzungen ausgehen, welche in den Längsstreifen Querflügel begrenzen. Bei diesem Zuschnitt sind Querflügel in Fortsetzung des Querstreifens vorteilhaft aus den benachbarten Längsstreifen herausfaltbar.According to one embodiment, the first and / or second fold lines, which delimit a transverse strip, are interrupted fold lines, from the inner and / or outer ends of which punch outs are provided which delimit a projecting end region of the longitudinal strips. In this embodiment, the projecting end portion is advantageously obtained from the horizontal strip. According to one embodiment, the first and / or second fold lines delimiting a transverse strip or a portion of the transverse strip have a discontinuous central region, from whose inner ends a portion of the transverse strip emanates, and from the outer ends of which punch outs are formed which define transverse wings in the longitudinal strips , In this blank, transverse wings in continuation of the transverse strip are advantageously foldable out of the adjacent longitudinal strips.
Für die Materialwahl des Zuschnittes gilt das oben für die Vorrichtung Gesagte. Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung besteht der Zuschnitt aus Karton.For the choice of material of the blank, what has been said above for the device applies. According to a preferred embodiment, the blank is made of cardboard.
Ferner bezieht sich die Erfindung auf eine Verpackung mit einer Umverpackung aus faltbarem Flachmaterial enthaltend mindestens eine Vorrichtung der vorerwähnten Art.Furthermore, the invention relates to a package with an outer packaging of foldable flat material containing at least one device of the aforementioned type.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung ist die Umverpackung im wesentlichen quaderförmig. Einbezogen sind Ausführungen der Umverpackung, die in Anpassung an den Oberbereich der Flaschen sich im Oberbereich in mindestens einer Vertikalebene nach oben hin verjüngen.According to one embodiment, the outer packaging is substantially cuboid. Included are embodiments of the outer packaging, which taper in adaptation to the upper region of the bottles in the upper region in at least one vertical plane upwards.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung ist die Vorrichtung über endseitige Laschen an Längsstreifen und/oder an Querflügeln mit der Umverpackung verbunden. Hierdurch wird eine unverrückbare Positionierung der Vorrichtung in der Umverpackung in sämtlichen Richtungen erreicht, insbesondere auch in Vertikalrichtung.According to one embodiment, the device is connected via end tabs on longitudinal strips and / or on transverse wings with the outer packaging. As a result, an immovable positioning of the device in the outer packaging is achieved in all directions, in particular in the vertical direction.
Die Laschen können sich z.B. nur an den Innenseiten der Umverpackung abstützen. Sie können aber auch eine Steckverbindung mit der Umverpackung aufweisen. Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung sind die Laschen über Verklebungen mit der Umverpackung verbunden.The tabs may be e.g. only support on the insides of the outer packaging. But you can also have a plug connection with the outer packaging. According to one embodiment, the tabs are connected via bonds to the outer packaging.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung sind die Seitenwände der Umverpackung durch Faltlinien miteinander verbunden und ist die Umverpackung zu einer flachliegenden Hülle gefaltet, in der die zusammengefaltete Vorrichtung angeordnet ist.

In this way, the overwrap may be delivered to the user with the contained trash-forming device, which will erect the package and pack containers.
Es ist eine platzsparende Lagerung und Transport in Stapeln möglich. Auch der maschinelle Abzug aus dem Stapel kann maschinell mit hoher Geschwindigkeit erfolgen. Der Boden der Umverpackung ist z.B. mit einer längsgerichteten Bodenfalte versehen, so daß sich der Boden automatisch aufrichtet, wenn die Verpackung aufgerichtet wird. Es ist aber auch möglich, einen Steckboden oder einen in dem Verpackungsprozeß noch zu schließenden Boden mit mehreren Bodenklappen zu verwenden. Entsprechendes gilt für den Deckel, der allerdings beim Verpackungsprozeß erst nach dem Einsetzen der Behälter geschlossen werden kann.It is a space-saving storage and transport in stacks possible. Also, the machine trigger from the stack can be done by machine at high speed. The bottom of the outer packaging is e.g. provided with a longitudinal bottom fold so that the bottom automatically straightens when the package is erected. But it is also possible to use a plug bottom or a still to be closed in the packaging process floor with multiple bottom flaps. The same applies to the lid, which can be closed during the packaging process, however, only after the onset of the container.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung sind die Umverpackung und die Vorrichtung aufgerichtet.According to one embodiment, the outer packaging and the device are erected.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung besteht die Umverpackung aus Karton. Es kommen auch andere Materialien in Betracht, insbesondere Wellpappe.
