Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Zuschnitt zur Herstellung einer Verpackung für Nahrungsmittel, umfassend: eine vierseitige Bodenwand, eine vierseitige Rückwand, eine vierseitige Vorderwand, zwei dreiseitige Seitenwände, und ein Aufreißelement, wobei die Bodenwand und die Rückwand entlang einer Faltlinie miteinander verbunden sind, wobei die beiden Seitenwände entlang von Faltlinien gegenüberliegend mit der Bodenwand oder mit der Rückwand verbunden sind, und wobei die Vorderwand entlang einer Faltlinie mit einer der Seitenwände verbunden ist.The invention relates to a blank for producing a food packaging, comprising: a four-sided bottom wall, a four-sided rear wall, a four-sided front wall, two three-sided side walls, and a tear-open element, wherein the bottom wall and the rear wall are connected together along a fold line, the two Side walls are connected along fold lines opposite to the bottom wall or with the rear wall, and wherein the front wall is connected along a fold line with one of the side walls.

Die Erfindung betrifft zudem eine Verpackung für Nahrungsmittel, die aus einem derartigen Zuschnitt hergestellt ist.The invention also relates to a food packaging made from such a blank.

Aus dem Gebiet der Verpackungstechnik sind zahlreiche Verpackungen für Nahrungsmittel bekannt. Eine wichtige Funktion von Verpackungen liegt darin, die in der Verpackung enthaltenen Nahrungsmittel vor Umwelteinflüssen wie Stößen oder Verschmutzungen zu schützen. Beispiele für Verpackungen gemäß Stand der Technik sind in den Dokumenten GB 2 441 586 A , EP 1 022 224 A1 , KR 2014 0122992 A , EP 2 599 733 A1 und GB 2 475 564 A offenbart. Viele Verpackungen werden aus Zuschnitten hergestellt. Bei Zuschnitten handelt es sich um flache Materialbahnen, die in eine bestimmte Form geschnitten oder gestanzt wurden. Durch die definierte Form der Zuschnitte wird erreicht, dass aus den Zuschnitten durch verschiedene Faltvorgänge eine Verpackung hergestellt werden kann. Die Form des Zuschnitts bestimmt daher die Form der aus dem Zuschnitt herstellbaren Verpackung. Um den Materialverbrauch bei der Herstellung und den Platzbedarf beim Transport und bei der Lagerung der Verpackungen gering zu halten, werden die Zuschnitte häufig genau an die Form und Größe der zu verpackenden Nahrungsmittel angepasst.From the field of packaging technology numerous packaging for foodstuffs are known. An important function of packaging is to protect the foodstuffs contained in the packaging from environmental influences such as impacts or soiling. Examples of prior art packages are in the documents GB 2 441 586 A . EP 1 022 224 A1 . KR 2014 0122992 A . EP 2 599 733 A1 and GB 2 475 564 A disclosed. Many packages are made from blanks. Blanks are flat webs that have been cut or punched into a specific shape. Due to the defined shape of the blanks, it is achieved that a packaging can be produced from the blanks by means of various folding processes. The shape of the blank therefore determines the shape of the package that can be produced from the blank. In order to minimize the material consumption in the production and the space required for the transport and storage of the packaging, the blanks are often adapted exactly to the shape and size of the food to be packaged.

Aus der EP 1 799 588 B1 sind beispielsweise ein Zuschnitt und eine daraus hergestellte Verpackung für Sandwiches bekannt. Eine Besonderheit von Sandwiches liegt darin, dass sie häufig aus quadratischen Toast- oder Brotscheiben hergestellt werden, die in diagonaler Richtung in zwei Teile geschnitten werden. Die hierbei entstehenden Sandwich-Hälften weisen somit eine dreiseitige bzw. dreieckige Form auf. Auch die aus der EP 1 799 588 B1 bekannte Verpackung hat daher eine dreieckige Form.From the EP 1 799 588 B1 For example, a blank and a package made therefrom for sandwiches are known. A peculiarity of sandwiches is that they are often made from square toast or slices of bread sliced diagonally into two pieces. The resulting sandwich halves thus have a three-sided or triangular shape. Also from the EP 1 799 588 B1 known packaging therefore has a triangular shape.

Die in der EP 1 799 588 B1 beschriebene Verpackung weist ein Aufreißelement auf, das vollständig durch die Bodenwand und durch die Rückwand der Verpackung verläuft. Beim Öffnen der Verpackung werden daher sowohl die Bodenwand als auch die Rückwand zerteilt; die Vorderwand und die beiden dreieckigen Seitenflächen bleiben hingegen erhalten und dienen im geöffneten und aufgeklappten Zustand jeweils einer der beiden Sandwich-Hälften als Unterlage.The in the EP 1 799 588 B1 described packaging has a tear-open, which runs completely through the bottom wall and through the rear wall of the package. When opening the packaging, therefore, both the bottom wall and the rear wall are divided; The front wall and the two triangular side surfaces, however, remain and serve in the open and unfolded state each one of the two sandwich halves as a base.

Der aus der EP 1 799 588 B1 bekannte Öffnungsmechanismus hat mehrere Nachteile. Ein Nachteil liegt darin, dass die Verpackung im geöffneten und aufgeklappten Zustand eine flache und weite Form einnimmt und mit einer Hand schwer zu greifen ist. Zudem gestaltet sich die Entnahme der Sandwich-Hälften aus der Verpackung schwierig, da die Sandwich-Hälften von einem Rahmen umgeben sind, der aus der zerteilten Bodenwand und aus der zerteilten Rückwand der Verpackung entstanden ist. Sowohl die geringe Kompaktheit als auch das schwierige Entnehmen der Sandwich-Hälften sind insbesondere bei frischen Nahrungsmitteln unerwünscht, da diese umgehend - und somit meist mit der Hand und ohne Teller und Besteck - aus der Verpackung entnommen und verzehrt werden sollen.The from the EP 1 799 588 B1 known opening mechanism has several disadvantages. A disadvantage is that the packaging in the opened and unfolded state assumes a flat and wide shape and is difficult to grip with one hand. In addition, the removal of the sandwich halves from the package is difficult because the sandwich halves are surrounded by a frame formed from the divided bottom wall and the divided rear wall of the package. Both the low compactness and the difficult removal of the sandwich halves are undesirable, especially for fresh food, as they are promptly - and thus usually with the hand and without plates and cutlery - to be removed from the packaging and consumed.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, den eingangs beschriebenen und zuvor näher erläuterten Zuschnitt ebenso wie die eingangs beschriebene und zuvor näher erläuterte Verpackung derart auszugestalten und weiterzubilden, dass die Verpackung auch im geöffneten und aufgeklappten Zustand kompakt ausgestaltet ist und einen einfachen Zugriff auf ihren Inhalt erlaubt.The invention is therefore based on the object, the above-described and previously explained in more detail blank as well as the above-described and previously explained in more detail packaging such and further, that the Packaging is designed compact even in the open and unfolded state and allows easy access to its contents.

Bei einem Zuschnitt nach dem Oberbegriff von Patentanspruch 1 wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass das Aufreißelement durch beide Seitenwände verläuft und entweder durch die Bodenwand oder alternativ durch die Rückwand verläuft, dass das Aufreißelement zwei Knicke aufweist, dass der erste Knick im Bereich der Faltlinie zwischen der ersten Seitenwand und der daran angrenzenden Bodenwand oder Rückwand angeordnet ist und dass der zweite Knick im Bereich der Faltlinie zwischen der zweiten Seitenwand und der daran angrenzenden Bodenwand oder Rückwand angeordnet ist. Ein erfindungsgemäßer Zuschnitt dient der Herstellung von Verpackungen für Nahrungsmittel. Die Herstellung kann beispielsweise durch Falten und Verkleben des Zuschnitts erfolgen. Der Zuschnitt umfasst eine vierseitige Bodenwand, eine vierseitige Rückwand, eine vierseitige Vorderwand und zwei dreiseitige Seitenwände. Die Bodenwand und/oder die Rückwand und/oder die Vorderwand können beispielsweise rechteckig geformt sein. Die beiden Seitenwände können beispielsweise die Form eines rechtwinkligen, gleichschenkligen Dreiecks aufweisen. Der Zuschnitt umfasst zudem ein Aufreißelement. Bei dem Aufreißelement kann es sich beispielsweise um einen Streifen handeln, der dazu bestimmt ist, von den benachbarten Flächen des Zuschnitts (bzw. der daraus hergestellten Verpackung) getrennt zu werden. Das Aufreißelement kann beispielsweise Materialverstärkungen (z.B. einen zugfesten Faden) aufweisen und/oder durch Materialschwächungen (z.B. Perforationen) begrenzt werden. Die Bodenwand und die Rückwand des Zuschnitts sind entlang einer Faltlinie miteinander verbunden. Die beiden Seitenwände sind entlang von Faltlinien gegenüberliegend mit der Bodenwand oder mit der Rückwand verbunden. Die Vorderwand ist entlang einer Faltlinie mit einer der Seitenwände verbunden. Die Faltlinien sollen die Faltung des Zuschnitts erleichtern; sie können beispielsweise durch eine Materialschwächung, insbesondere durch eine Perforation oder eine Prägung bzw. Rillung des Zuschnitts realisiert werden.In a blank according to the preamble of claim 1, this object is achieved in that the tearing element extends through both side walls and extends either through the bottom wall or alternatively through the rear wall, that the tearing element has two kinks that the first kink in the region of the fold line between the first side wall and the adjoining bottom wall or rear wall is arranged and that the second kink in the region of the fold line between the second side wall and the adjoining bottom wall or rear wall is arranged. A blank according to the invention serves to produce packaging for foodstuffs. The preparation can be done for example by folding and gluing the blank. The blank comprises a four-sided bottom wall, a four-sided rear wall, a four-sided front wall and two three-sided side walls. The bottom wall and / or the rear wall and / or the front wall may be rectangular in shape, for example. The two side walls may, for example, have the shape of a right-angled isosceles triangle. The blank also includes a tear-open element. By way of example, the tear-open element may be a strip which is intended to be separated from the adjacent areas of the blank (or the package produced therefrom). For example, the tearing member may include material reinforcements (e.g., a tension-proof thread) and / or may be limited by material weakenings (e.g., perforations). The bottom wall and the rear wall of the blank are connected together along a fold line. The two side walls are connected along fold lines opposite to the bottom wall or to the rear wall. The front wall is connected to one of the side walls along a fold line. The fold lines are intended to facilitate the folding of the blank; They can be realized, for example, by a material weakening, in particular by a perforation or an embossing or creasing of the blank.

Erfindungsgemäß verläuft das Aufreißelement durch beide Seitenwände und entweder durch die Bodenwand oder alternativ durch die Rückwand. Mit anderen Worten soll das Aufreißelement zwar durch beide Seitenwände verlaufen; es soll aber zusätzlich nur entweder durch die Bodenwand oder alternativ durch die Rückwand verlaufen. Das Aufreißelement soll also nicht durch die Bodenwand und durch die Rückwand, sondern nur durch eine dieser beiden Flächen verlaufen. Durch diese Lösung wird erreicht, dass beim Aufreißen der Verpackung die Bodenwand oder die Rückwand unbeschädigt bleiben. Indem eine dieser Flächen unbeschädigt bleibt, behält die aus dem Zuschnitt hergestellte Verpackung auch im aufgerissenen und aufgeklappten Zustand eine kompakte Form. Zudem bildet die unbeschädigte Fläche (also die Bodenwand oder die Rückwand) mit den daran angrenzenden Teilen der beiden zerteilten Seitenwände eine einseitig offene, gut greifbare Schale. Die beiden Sandwich-Hälften können mit einer ihrer spitzen Ecken in der geöffneten Verpackung stehen, während sie mit den anderen spitzen Ecken aus der geöffneten Verpackung herausragen und daher einfach gegriffen und entnommen werden können. Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass das Aufreißelement zwei Knicke aufweist. Unter einem Knick wird eine Richtungsänderung verstanden. Ein Aufreißelement mit Knicken verläuft also nicht durchgehend gerade, sondern ändert seine Richtung. Durch dieses Merkmal kann der Verlauf des Aufreißelements gezielt gesteuert werden. Insbesondere erlauben Knicke einen verbesserten Verlauf des Aufreißelements, wenn das Aufreißelement nicht rechtwinklig, sondern schräg zu einer Faltkante verläuft. Bevorzugt weisen beide Knicke denselben Knickwinkel auf. Nach einer Ausgestaltung des Zuschnitts wird vorgeschlagen, dass die beiden Knicke Knickwinkel im Bereich zwischen 130° und 140° aufweisen. Insbesondere können die Knickwinkel etwa 135° betragen. Knickwinkel in diesem Bereich ermöglichen eine ebene Auftrennung der Verpackung, wenn das Aufreißelement im Bereich der beiden Seitenflächen unter einem Winkel von 45° auf die Faltkante zuläuft. Erfindungsgemäß ist weiter vorgesehen, dass der erste Knick im Bereich der Faltlinie zwischen der ersten Seitenwand und der daran angrenzenden Bodenwand oder Rückwand angeordnet ist und dass der zweite Knick im Bereich der Faltlinie zwischen der zweiten Seitenwand und der daran angrenzenden Bodenwand oder Rückwand angeordnet ist. Indem die Knicke des Aufreißelements auf den Faltlinien angeordnet sind, verläuft das Aufreißelement im Bereich der Wandflächen gerade, so dass eine ebene Auftrennung der Verpackung erreicht wird.According to the invention, the tearing element extends through both side walls and either through the bottom wall or alternatively through the rear wall. In other words, the tear-open element should pass through both side walls; but it should additionally run only either through the bottom wall or alternatively through the rear wall. The tear-open element should therefore not run through the bottom wall and through the rear wall, but only through one of these two surfaces. This solution ensures that when tearing the packaging, the bottom wall or the rear wall remain undamaged. By leaving one of these surfaces undamaged, the package produced from the blank retains a compact shape, even when torn open and unfolded. In addition, the undamaged surface (ie the bottom wall or the rear wall) with the adjoining parts of the two divided side walls forms a one-sided open, well-tangible shell. The two sandwich halves can stand with one of their pointed corners in the open package, while they protrude with the other sharp corners of the opened packaging and therefore can be easily grasped and removed. According to the invention, it is provided that the tear-open element has two kinks. A kink is understood as a change of direction. A tear-open element with creases does not run straight, but changes its direction. By this feature, the course of the tearing element can be controlled specifically. In particular, kinks allow an improved course of the tearing element when the tearing element is not at right angles, but extends obliquely to a folding edge. Both creases preferably have the same bending angle. According to one embodiment of the blank, it is proposed that the two kinks have bending angles in the range between 130 ° and 140 °. In particular, the bending angle can be about 135 °. Bending angles in this area allow a level separation of the packaging when the tearing element in the region of the two side surfaces at an angle of 45 ° to the fold edge. According to the invention, it is further provided that the first bend is arranged in the region of the fold line between the first side wall and the bottom wall or rear wall adjoining thereto, and that the second bend is in the region of Folding line between the second side wall and the adjoining bottom wall or rear wall is arranged. By the kinks of the tearing element are arranged on the fold lines, the tearing element runs straight in the region of the wall surfaces, so that a planar separation of the packaging is achieved.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausbildung des Zuschnitts ist vorgesehen, dass die Vorderwand ein Fenster aus einem transparenten Kunststoff aufweist. Durch das Fenster kann der Verbraucher den Inhalt der Verpackung erkennen. Das Fenster kann bei geeigneter Materialwahl zudem den Zweck erfüllen, die Verpackung im geöffneten Zustand einfach aufklappen und wieder zuklappen zu können. Das Fenster ist vorzugsweise aus einer Kunststofffolie hergestellt.According to a further embodiment of the blank it is provided that the front wall has a window made of a transparent plastic. Through the window, the consumer can recognize the contents of the packaging. The window can also meet the purpose with a suitable choice of material, the package in the open state simply open and close again. The window is preferably made of a plastic film.

Alternativ oder zusätzlich zu dieser Ausbildung ist vorgesehen, dass wenigstens eine der Seitenwände ein Fenster aus einem transparenten Kunststoff aufweist. Vorzugsweise weist diejenige Seitenwand ein Fenster auf, die mit der Vorderwand verbunden ist. Die Anordnung des Fensters in zwei benachbarten Wänden hat den Vorteil, dass das Fenster durch eine einzige Kunststofffolie gebildet werden kann, die sich in beide Wände erstreckt und die bei der Faltung der Verpackung umgebogen wird.As an alternative or in addition to this embodiment, it is provided that at least one of the side walls has a window made of a transparent plastic. Preferably, that side wall has a window which is connected to the front wall. The arrangement of the window in two adjacent walls has the advantage that the window can be formed by a single plastic film which extends in both walls and which is bent in the folding of the packaging.

Das Fenster kann gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung einen Einschnitt aufweisen. Der Einschnitt hat die Funktion einer "Sollbruchstelle" und dient beispielsweise dazu, das Aufklappen der aus dem Zuschnitt gefalteten Verpackung zu erleichtern. Vorzugsweise ist der Einschnitt in dem Bereich des Fensters angeordnet, der der Seitenwand zugeordnet ist. Bevorzugt verläuft der Einschnitt entlang der Richtung des Aufreißelementes, welches ebenfalls durch die Seitenwand verläuft. Anstelle eines Einschnitts kann auch eine Materialschwächung wie beispielsweise eine Perforation vorgesehen sein.The window may have an incision according to another embodiment. The incision has the function of a "predetermined breaking point" and serves, for example, to facilitate the unfolding of the folded packaging from the blank. Preferably, the recess is arranged in the region of the window which is associated with the side wall. Preferably, the incision runs along the direction of the tearing element, which also extends through the side wall. Instead of an incision, it is also possible to provide a material weakening, such as a perforation.

Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung des Zuschnitts ist vorgesehen, dass die Bodenwand eine Verbindungslasche aufweist, die entlang einer Faltlinie mit der Bodenwand verbunden ist. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Rückwand eine Verbindungslasche aufweist, die entlang einer Faltlinie mit der Rückwand verbunden ist. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass eine der Seitenwände eine Verbindungslasche aufweist, die entlang einer Faltlinie mit dieser Seitenwand verbunden ist. Die Verbindungslaschen dienen dem Zweck, die damit verbundenen Wände (Bodenwand, Rückwand, Seitenwand) mit der Vorderwand zu verbinden, beispielsweise zu verkleben. Da die zu verbindenden Wände winklig zueinander angeordnet sind, müssen die Verbindungslaschen umgefaltet werden, um parallel zur Vorderwand zu verlaufen. Um dies zu erleichtern, sind Faltlinien vorgesehen.According to a further embodiment of the blank, it is provided that the bottom wall has a connecting plate, which along a fold line with the Bottom wall is connected. Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that the rear wall has a connection tab which is connected to the rear wall along a folding line. Alternatively or additionally, it can also be provided that one of the side walls has a connection tab which is connected to this side wall along a folding line. The connecting straps serve the purpose of connecting the connected walls (bottom wall, rear wall, side wall) with the front wall, for example, to bond. Since the walls to be joined are arranged at an angle to each other, the connecting straps must be folded over in order to run parallel to the front wall. To facilitate this, fold lines are provided.

Der Zuschnitt kann gemäß einer weiteren Ausbildung ergänzt werden durch wenigstens eine Verbindungsfläche, die eine der Seitenwände mit der Rückwand oder mit der Bodenwand verbindet und entlang von Faltlinien mit den angrenzenden Wänden verbunden ist. Durch die Verbindungsflächen wird eine robustere Verbindung zwischen durch sie verbundenen Wandflächen erreicht. Die Verbindungsflächen sind dazu bestimmt, bei der Faltung des Zuschnitts nach innen zusammengefaltet zu werden, so dass sie keine Außenfläche der Verpackung bilden. Durch die um 180° zusammengefalteten Verbindungsflächen wird eine Erhöhung der Wandstärke der Verpackung erreicht. Dies erlaubt einen besseren Schutz der Inhalte der Verpackung.The blank may be supplemented according to a further embodiment by at least one connecting surface, which connects one of the side walls with the rear wall or with the bottom wall and is connected along fold lines with the adjacent walls. The bonding surfaces provide a more robust connection between wall surfaces joined by them. The bonding surfaces are intended to be folded inwardly during the folding of the blank so that they do not form an outer surface of the package. By folded by 180 ° connecting surfaces an increase in the wall thickness of the package is achieved. This allows better protection of the contents of the packaging.

Zu dieser Ausbildung wird weiter vorgeschlagen, dass die Verbindungsfläche eine Faltlinie aufweist, die zentral durch die Verbindungsfläche verläuft. Wenn mehrere Verbindungsflächen vorgesehen sind, weisen vorzugsweise alle Verbindungsflächen eine Faltlinie auf. Durch die Faltlinie wird ein gezieltes Zusammenfalten der Verbindungsflächen entlang eines definierten Wegs ermöglicht.To this training is further proposed that the connecting surface has a fold line which extends centrally through the connecting surface. If a plurality of connection surfaces are provided, preferably all connection surfaces have a fold line. The fold line enables targeted folding of the joining surfaces along a defined path.

Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung des Zuschnitts ist vorgesehen, dass der Zuschnitt aus Papier oder Pappe hergestellt ist. Papier und Pappe zeichnen sich durch geringe Kosten, geringes Gewicht sowie durch eine gute Eignung zur Wiederverwertung aus (Recycling). Bevorzugt ist der Zuschnitt einteilig ausgebildet. Durch einen einteiligen bzw. einstückigen Zuschnitt wird die Herstellung der Verpackung erleichtert. Denn die einzelnen Flächen des Zuschnitts müssen lediglich entlang von Faltlinien gefaltet und ggf. miteinander verbunden werden. Anders als bei einer Verpackung, die aus mehreren oder mehrteiligen Zuschnitten hergestellt wird, entfällt das aufwändige Zusammenfügen der unterschiedlichen Zuschnitte.According to a further embodiment of the blank is provided that the blank is made of paper or cardboard. Paper and cardboard are characterized by low costs, low weight and good suitability for recycling (Recycling). Preferably, the blank is integrally formed. By a one-piece or one-piece blank, the production of the packaging is facilitated. Because the individual surfaces of the blank need only be folded along fold lines and possibly joined together. Unlike a package that is made of multiple or multi-part blanks, eliminating the costly assembly of different blanks.

Zu dieser Ausgestaltung wird weiter vorgeschlagen, dass der Zuschnitt eine Stärke im Bereich zwischen 250 g/m2 und 300 g/m2 aufweist. Zuschnitte mit einer in diesem Bereich liegenden Stärke bzw. Flächengewicht haben sich bewährt und stellen einen guten Kompromiss zwischen geringen Kosten und ausreichender Steifigkeit dar. Die zuvor beschriebene Aufgabe wird auch gelöst durch eine Verpackung für Nahrungsmittel, welche aus einem der zuvor beschriebenen Zuschnitte hergestellt ist. Aus dem Zuschnitt kann durch geeignete Herstellungsschritte, beispielsweise durch Falten und Verkleben, eine Verpackung mit den gewünschten Eigenschaften hergestellt werden. Ebenso wie der Zuschnitt umfasst auch eine daraus hergestellte Verpackung eine vierseitige Bodenwand, eine vierseitige Rückwand, eine vierseitige Vorderwand, zwei dreiseitige Seitenwände, und ein Aufreißelement, wobei die Bodenwand und die Rückwand entlang einer Faltlinie miteinander verbunden sind, wobei die beiden Seitenwände entlang von Faltlinien gegenüberliegend mit der Bodenwand oder mit der Rückwand verbunden sind, und wobei die Vorderwand entlang einer Faltlinie mit einer der Seitenwände verbunden ist. Zudem ist auch bei der aus dem Zuschnitt hergestellten Verpackung vorgesehen, dass das Aufreißelement durch beide Seitenwände verläuft und entweder durch die Bodenwand oder alternativ durch die Rückwand verläuft.For this embodiment, it is further proposed that the blank has a thickness in the range between 250 g / m 2 and 300 g / m 2 . Blanks having a strength or basis weight in this range have been proven and represent a good compromise between low cost and sufficient rigidity. The above-described object is also achieved by a packaging for food, which is made from one of the previously described blanks. From the blank can be produced by suitable manufacturing steps, for example by folding and gluing, a package with the desired properties. As well as the blank, a package made therefrom also comprises a four-sided bottom wall, a four-sided rear wall, a four-sided front wall, two three-sided side walls, and a tear-open element, wherein the bottom wall and the rear wall are connected along a fold line, the two side walls being along fold lines are connected opposite to the bottom wall or to the rear wall, and wherein the front wall is connected along a fold line with one of the side walls. In addition, it is also provided in the case of the package produced from the blank that the tearing element extends through both side walls and extends either through the bottom wall or alternatively through the rear wall.

In Fig. 1 ist ein erfindungsgemäßer Zuschnitt 1 in einer Draufsicht dargestellt. Der Zuschnitt 1 ist aus Pappe hergestellt und umfasst eine vierseitige Bodenwand 2 und eine vierseitige Rückwand 3. Die Bodenwand 2 und die Rückwand 3 sind entlang einer Faltlinie 4 miteinander verbunden. Der Zuschnitt 1 umfasst zudem eine erste Seitenwand 5A und eine zweite Seitenwand 5B. Beide Seitenwände 5A, 5B sind dreiseitig geformt und entlang von Faltlinien 4 mit der Rückwand 3 verbunden. Die Seitenwände 5A, 5B sind auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Rückwand 3 angeordnet. Der Zuschnitt 1 umfasst weiterhin eine vierseitige Vorderwand 6, die entlang einer Faltlinie mit der ersten Seitenwand 5A verbunden ist. Zudem weist der Zuschnitt 1 ein Aufreißelement 7 auf, das an einem seiner Enden mit einem Griff 8 versehen ist. Das Aufreißelement 7 ist durch Perforationen 9 begrenzt.In Fig. 1 an inventive blank 1 is shown in a plan view. The blank 1 is made of cardboard and comprises a four-sided bottom wall 2 and a four-sided rear wall 3. The bottom wall 2 and the rear wall 3 are connected together along a folding line 4. The blank 1 also comprises a first side wall 5A and a second side wall 5B. Both side walls 5A, 5B are formed on three sides and connected to the rear wall 3 along folding lines 4. The side walls 5A, 5B are arranged on opposite sides of the rear wall 3. The blank 1 further comprises a four-sided front wall 6, which along a Fold line is connected to the first side wall 5A. In addition, the blank 1 has a tear-open element 7, which is provided at one of its ends with a handle 8. The tearing element 7 is limited by perforations 9.

Das Aufreißelement 7 verläuft ausschließlich durch beide Seitenwände 5A, 5B und durch die zwischen diesen Seitenwänden 5A, 5B angeordnete Rückwand 3. Durch andere Bereiche des Zuschnitts 1 - insbesondere durch die Bodenwand 2 - verläuft das Aufreißelement 7 hingegen nicht. Das Aufreißelement 7 umfasst drei Abschnitte 7A, 7B, 7C und weist zwei Knicke 10A, 10B mit Knickwinkeln α, β im Bereich zwischen 130° und 140° auf. Der erste Abschnitt 7A verläuft durch die erste Seitenwand 5A, der zweite Abschnitt 7B verläuft durch die zweite Seitenwand 5B und der dritte Abschnitt 7C, der zwischen dem ersten Abschnitt 7A und dem zweiten Abschnitt 7B angeordnet ist, verläuft durch die Rückwand 3. Der erste Knick 10A ist im Bereich der Faltlinie 4 zwischen der ersten Seitenwand 5A und der daran angrenzenden Rückwand 3 angeordnet (also zwischen dem ersten Abschnitt 7A und dem dritten Abschnitt 7C) und der zweite Knick 10B ist im Bereich der Faltlinie 4 zwischen der zweiten Seitenwand 5B und der daran angrenzenden Rückwand 3 angeordnet (also zwischen dem zweiten Abschnitt 7B und dem dritten Abschnitt 7C).The tear-open element 7 extends exclusively through both side walls 5A, 5B and through the rear wall 3 arranged between these side walls 5A, 5B. By other regions of the blank 1 -in particular through the bottom wall 2 -the tearing element 7 does not extend. The tearing element 7 comprises three sections 7A, 7B, 7C and has two creases 10A, 10B with bending angles α, β in the range between 130 ° and 140 °. The first portion 7A passes through the first side wall 5A, the second portion 7B passes through the second side wall 5B, and the third portion 7C disposed between the first portion 7A and the second portion 7B passes through the rear wall 3. The first kink 10A is disposed in the region of the fold line 4 between the first side wall 5A and the rear wall 3 adjoining thereto (ie between the first section 7A and the third section 7C) and the second bend 10B is located in the region of the fold line 4 between the second side wall 5B and adjoining rear wall 3 (ie, between the second portion 7B and the third portion 7C).

Die Vorderwand 6 des Zuschnitts 1 weist ein Fenster 11 aus einem transparenten Kunststoff auf. Das Fenster 11 erstreckt sich von der Vorderwand 6 bis in einen Teil der Seitenwand 5A. Das Fenster 11 ist mit der Innenseite der Vorderwand 6 sowie mit der Innenseite eines Teils der Vorderwand 5A verbunden, beispielsweise verklebt. Die Bodenwand 2 weist eine Verbindungslasche 12 auf, die entlang einer Faltlinie 4 mit der Bodenwand 2 verbunden ist. Auch die Rückwand 3 weist eine Verbindungslasche 13 auf, die entlang einer Faltlinie 4 mit der Rückwand 3 verbunden ist. Ebenso weist die zweite Seitenwand 5B eine Verbindungslasche 14 auf, die entlang einer Faltlinie 4 mit dieser Seitenwand 5B verbunden ist.The front wall 6 of the blank 1 has a window 11 made of a transparent plastic. The window 11 extends from the front wall 6 into a part of the side wall 5A. The window 11 is connected to the inside of the front wall 6 and to the inside of a part of the front wall 5A, for example glued. The bottom wall 2 has a connecting strap 12 which is connected to the bottom wall 2 along a folding line 4. Also, the rear wall 3 has a connecting plate 13 which is connected along a fold line 4 with the rear wall 3. Likewise, the second side wall 5B has a connection tab 14 which is connected along a fold line 4 to this side wall 5B.

Der Zuschnitt 1 umfasst zudem zwei Verbindungsflächen 15A, 15B. Die erste Verbindungsfläche 15A verbindet die erste Seitenwand 5A mit der Bodenwand 2 und die zweite Verbindungsfläche 15B verbindet die zweite Seitenwand 5B mit der Bodenwand 2. Die beiden Verbindungsflächen 15A, 15B sind entlang von Faltlinien 4 mit den angrenzenden Wänden 2, 5A, 5B verbunden. Beide Verbindungsflächen 15A, 15B weisen eine Faltlinie 4 auf, die zentral durch die Verbindungsflächen 15A, 15B verläuft.The blank 1 also comprises two connecting surfaces 15A, 15B. The first connection surface 15A connects the first side wall 5A with the bottom wall 2 and the second connection surface 15B connects the second side wall 5B to the bottom wall 2. The two connection surfaces 15A, 15B are connected along fold lines 4 to the adjacent walls 2, 5A, 5B. Both connecting surfaces 15A, 15B have a folding line 4 that runs centrally through the connecting surfaces 15A, 15B.

Fig. 2 zeigt den Zuschnitt 1 aus Fig. 1 im teilweise gefalteten Zustand von der Vorderseite. Die bereits im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 1 beschriebenen Bereiche des Zuschnitts 1 sind in Fig. 2 mit entsprechenden Bezugszeichen versehen. Bei der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Konfiguration wurde die Bodenwand 2 und die damit verbundenen Bereiche (Verbindungslasche 12 und Verbindungsflächen 15A, 15B) entlang von Faltlinien 4 um 180° nach hinten gefaltet. Die nach hinten gefalteten Bereiche sind daher in Fig. 2 verdeckt. Die Rückwand 3 ist etwa deckungsgleich mit der Bodenwand 2 und bedeckt diese. Ebenso bedeckt die erste Seitenwand 5A die erste Verbindungsfläche 15A und die zweite Seitenwand 5B bedeckt die zweite Verbindungsfläche 15B. Fig. 2 shows the blank 1 from Fig. 1 in the partially folded state from the front. Already related to Fig. 1 described areas of the blank 1 are in Fig. 2 provided with corresponding reference numerals. At the in Fig. 2 In the illustrated configuration, the bottom wall 2 and the associated portions (connecting tab 12 and connecting surfaces 15A, 15B) have been folded back by 180 ° along folding lines 4. The folded back areas are therefore in Fig. 2 covered. The rear wall 3 is approximately congruent with the bottom wall 2 and covers it. Also, the first side wall 5A covers the first connection surface 15A, and the second side wall 5B covers the second connection surface 15B.

In Fig. 3 ist der Zuschnitt 1 aus Fig. 1 im teilweise gefalteten Zustand von der Rückseite gezeigt. Die bereits im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 1 oder Fig. 2 beschriebenen Bereiche des Zuschnitts 1 sind in Fig. 3 mit entsprechenden Bezugszeichen versehen. Die in Fig. 3 dargestellte Konfiguration des Zuschnitts 1 entspricht der um 180° gedrehten Konfiguration aus Fig. 2, so dass die dort verdeckten Bereiche des Zuschnitts 1 nun sichtbar sind. Bei diesen Bereichen handelt es sich um die Bodenwand 2 und die damit verbundenen Bereiche (Verbindungslasche 12 und Verbindungsflächen 15A, 15B). Erkennbar ist zudem ein Einschnitt 18 in dem Fenster 11, der dazu dient, das Aufklappen der Verpackung zu erleichtern.In Fig. 3 is the blank 1 off Fig. 1 in the partially folded state shown from the back. Already related to Fig. 1 or Fig. 2 described areas of the blank 1 are in Fig. 3 provided with corresponding reference numerals. In the Fig. 3 illustrated configuration of the blank 1 corresponds to the rotated by 180 ° configuration Fig. 2 , so that the areas of the blank 1 hidden there are now visible. These areas are the bottom wall 2 and the associated areas (connecting tab 12 and connecting surfaces 15A, 15B). Visible is also an incision 18 in the window 11, which serves to facilitate the unfolding of the packaging.

Fig. 4 zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße Verpackung 16 im geschlossenen Zustand in perspektivischer Ansicht. Die Verpackung 16 ist aus dem zuvor beschriebenen Zuschnitt 1 hergestellt, so dass auch in Fig. 4 die bereits im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 1 bis Fig. 3 beschriebene Bereiche des Zuschnitts 1 mit entsprechenden Bezugszeichen versehen sind. Die Verpackung 16 liegt auf der (in Fig. 4 verdeckten) Vorderwand 6. Die (in Fig. 4 verdeckte) erste Seitenwand 5A und die zweite Seitenwand 5B sind etwa parallel zueinander angeordnet, so dass die Verpackung 16 insgesamt eine dreiseitige bzw. dreieckige Form aufweist. Der Zuschnitt 1 ist derart gefaltet worden, dass an den Faltlinien 4 zwischen der Bodenwand 2, der Rückwand 3 und den beiden Seitenwänden 5A, 5B Winkel von jeweils etwa 90° entstehen. Die Verbindungslaschen 12, 13, 14 sind ebenfalls relativ zu den mit ihnen verbunden Wänden (Bodenwand 2, Rückwand 3 und zweite Seitenwand 5B) gefaltet worden. Zwischen der Verbindungslasche 14 und der zweiten Seitenwand 5B entsteht dabei ein Winkel von etwa 90°, während zwischen den beiden Verbindungslaschen 12, 13 und der Bodenwand 2 bzw. der Rückwand 3 Winkel von etwa 135° entstehen. Durch eine Faltung mit derartigen Winkeln liegen die drei Verbindungslaschen 12, 13, 14 flach auf der Rückseite der Vorderwand 6 auf und sind mit der Vorderwand 6 verbunden, beispielsweise verklebt. In der Verpackung 16 bildet sich ein dreieckiger Innenraum 17, der beispielsweise dazu dienen kann, ein in zwei dreieckige Hälften geschnittenes Sandwich aufzunehmen. Fig. 4 shows a package 16 according to the invention in the closed state in a perspective view. The packaging 16 is made from the previously described blank 1, so that also in Fig. 4 already related to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 described areas of the blank 1 with corresponding reference numerals are provided. The packaging 16 lies on the (in Fig. 4 hidden) front wall 6. The (in Fig. 4 concealed) first side wall 5A and the second side wall 5B are arranged approximately parallel to each other, so that the package 16 has a three-sided or triangular shape as a whole. The blank 1 has been folded such that at the fold lines 4 between the bottom wall 2, the rear wall 3 and the two side walls 5A, 5B arise angles of approximately 90 °. The connecting tabs 12, 13, 14 have also been folded relative to the walls connected to them (bottom wall 2, rear wall 3 and second side wall 5B). An angle of approximately 90 ° arises between the connecting strap 14 and the second side wall 5B, while angles of approximately 135 ° arise between the two connecting straps 12, 13 and the bottom wall 2 or the rear wall 3. By a convolution with such angles, the three connection tabs 12, 13, 14 lie flat on the back of the front wall 6 and are connected to the front wall 6, for example glued. In the package 16, a triangular interior 17 forms, which can serve, for example, to receive a cut into two triangular halves sandwich.

In Fig. 5 ist die Verpackung 16 aus Fig. 4 im teilweise geöffneten Zustand in zwei perspektivischen Ansichten dargestellt. Die bereits im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 1 bis Fig. 4 beschriebenen Bereiche des Zuschnitts 1 und der Verpackung 16 sind in Fig. 5 mit entsprechenden Bezugszeichen versehen. In der ersten (links dargestellten) Ansicht wird die Verpackung 16 mit Blick auf die Vorderwand 6 und die erste Seitenwand 5A dargestellt. In der zweiten (rechts dargestellten) Ansicht ist zusätzlich die Bodenwand 2 erkennbar. Beide Ansichten betreffen einen teilweise geöffneten Zustand, bei dem das Aufreißelement 7 in seinem ersten Abschnitt 7A bereits teilweise von der ersten Seitenwand 5A abgetrennt ist.In Fig. 5 the packaging is 16 off Fig. 4 in the partially open state shown in two perspective views. Already related to Fig. 1 to Fig. 4 described areas of the blank 1 and the package 16 are in Fig. 5 provided with corresponding reference numerals. In the first (left) view, the package 16 is shown with respect to the front wall 6 and the first side wall 5A. In the second view (on the right), the bottom wall 2 is additionally recognizable. Both views relate to a partially opened state, in which the tear-open element 7 is already partially separated from the first side wall 5A in its first section 7A.

Fig. 6 zeigt die Verpackung 16 aus Fig. 4 im teilweise geöffneten Zustand in perspektivischer Ansicht. Die bereits im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 1 bis Fig. 5 beschriebenen Bereiche des Zuschnitts 1 und der Verpackung 16 sind in Fig. 6 mit entsprechenden Bezugszeichen versehen. Die Perspektive in Fig. 6 entspricht der Perspektive in Fig. 4; der Unterschied liegt darin, dass die in Fig. 6 dargestellte Verpackung 16 bereits weitgehend geöffnet ist: Das Aufreißelement 7 ist bereits vollständig von der (in Fig. 6 verdeckten) ersten Seitenwand 5A und der Rückwand 3 getrennt, während es noch teilweise mit der zweiten Seitenwand 5B verbunden ist. Fig. 6 shows the package 16 Fig. 4 in partially open state in perspective view. Already related to Fig. 1 to Fig. 5 described areas of the blank 1 and the package 16 are in Fig. 6 provided with corresponding reference numerals. The perspective in Fig. 6 equals to Perspective in Fig. 4 ; the difference is that the in Fig. 6 shown packaging 16 is already largely open: The tearing element 7 is already completely from the (in Fig. 6 hidden) first side wall 5A and the rear wall 3 while still partially connected to the second side wall 5B.

In Fig. 7 ist die Verpackung 16 aus Fig. 4 im geöffneten und teilweise aufgeklappten Zustand in perspektivischer Ansicht dargestellt. Die bereits im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 1 bis Fig. 6 beschriebene Bereiche des Zuschnitts 1 und der Verpackung 16 sind in Fig. 7 mit entsprechenden Bezugszeichen versehen. Das Aufreißelement 7 ist vollständig aufgerissen worden, so dass die erste Seitenwand 5A und die zweite Seitenwand 5B getrennt wurden. Zudem wurde die Bodenwand 2 von der Rückwand 3 getrennt. Die Trennung ermöglicht es, die Verpackung 16 durch eine Verformung der Vorderwand 6 (und des Fensters 11) aufzuklappen. Der Einschnitt 18 des Fensters 11 erleichtert durch die Bildung eines Spaltes das Aufklappen der Verpackung 16.In Fig. 7 the packaging is 16 off Fig. 4 shown in the open and partially unfolded state in a perspective view. Already related to Fig. 1 to Fig. 6 described areas of the blank 1 and the package 16 are in Fig. 7 provided with corresponding reference numerals. The tearing member 7 has been completely torn so that the first side wall 5A and the second side wall 5B have been separated. In addition, the bottom wall 2 was separated from the rear wall 3. The separation makes it possible to unfold the package 16 by deforming the front wall 6 (and the window 11). The incision 18 of the window 11 facilitates the opening of the package 16 by the formation of a gap.

Fig. 8 zeigt schließlich die Verpackung aus Fig. 4 im geöffneten und aufgeklappten Zustand in perspektivischer Ansicht. Die bereits im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 1 bis Fig. 7 beschriebenen Bereiche des Zuschnitts 1 und der Verpackung 16 sind in Fig. 8 mit entsprechenden Bezugszeichen versehen. Im Vergleich zu Fig. 7 ist die Verpackung in Fig. 8 weiter aufgeklappt worden. Dies ist durch eine weitere Verformung der Vorderwand 6 und des darin angeordneten Fensters 11 erfolgt. In der geöffneten Stellung können auf einfache Weise Inhalte aus dem Innenraum 17 der Verpackung 16 entnommen werden. Der durch den Einschnitt 18 des Fensters 11 gebildete Spalt hat sich im Vergleich zu Fig. 7 weiter vergrößert. Fig. 8 finally shows the packaging Fig. 4 in open and unfolded state in perspective view. Already related to Fig. 1 to Fig. 7 described areas of the blank 1 and the package 16 are in Fig. 8 provided with corresponding reference numerals. Compared to Fig. 7 is the packaging in Fig. 8 further opened. This is done by further deformation of the front wall 6 and the window 11 arranged therein. In the open position, contents can be removed from the interior 17 of the packaging 16 in a simple manner. The gap formed by the recess 18 of the window 11 has compared to Fig. 7 further enlarged.
