Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tray-shaped carrier made of cardboard, paperboard or another foldable flat material:
  • the dish-shaped carrier (“tray”) has a bottom wall, side walls that protrude from the lateral edges of the bottom wall, and a separating web that extends between two opposite side walls.
  • the side walls and the bottom wall form a shell which is divided into compartments by the divider into which the goods can be inserted.
  • the carrier is particularly suitable for holding chunky or viscous goods of all kinds, such as chocolate bars, biscuits or other confectionery, vegetables, herbs or fruit, French fries and mayonnaise or ketchup, screws, nuts, dowels or other fasteners, pencils, chalk or others stationery.
  • the EP 3 095 722 B1 describes packaging for foodstuffs, in particular for snacks, made of cardboard in the form of a tray with a base, two side walls, a front wall and a rear wall and a partition part which is connected to the side walls at the side edges via connecting strips which comprise a number of folding parts and connected at the lower edge to an inner cover of the floor on one side of the partition part.
  • the base inner cover is connected by a fold line to a front wall inner cover, which in turn is connected by a fold line to the top edge of the front wall.
  • the package can be fully pre-glued at the carton maker and the gussets allow the divider panel to fold flat against the top of the bottom panel.
  • the side walls and the front walls slope slightly outwards.
  • the packages can nested and thus can be stored and transported in a space-saving manner.
  • the packaging is removed from the stack and the partition part is opened. After that, the different compartments can be filled separately.
  • the disadvantage is that the packaging is not well suited for automatic pre-packaging before nesting and automatic erecting before filling, and the design limits the speed of automatic processing.
  • Another disadvantage is that the construction has gluing, which impairs the recycling of the cardboard.
  • the object of the invention is to create a tray-shaped carrier made of foldable flat material with a separating web, which is better suited for automatic production and processing.
  • the reusability of the carrier should also be improved.
  • the carrier according to the invention can be formed from a single blank of foldable sheet material. It can be pre-assembled by the folding box manufacturer by raising the side walls so that a first connecting strip, the second connecting strip connected thereto and the separating web connected thereto stand up from two side walls lying opposite one another, each continuing the same. In this condition, the carrier can be stabilized by connections between the side walls, for example by hooking or gluing corner connection flaps to the side edges of adjacent side walls. In an embodiment with slightly outwardly sloping side walls, a large number of pre-assembled carriers can be stored and transported nested.
  • the first connecting strips are each folded around the second fold line against the side wall connected to it, in the opposite direction the second connecting strips are each folded around the third fold line against the upper side of the base wall, the separating webs are each folded around the fourth fold line in perpendicular orientation to the associated connecting strip folded and the dividers are brought into contact with each other.

  • the second connecting strips come into contact with the upper side of the bottom wall and the separating webs come into contact with one another.
  • the first lateral edges of the second connection strips are perpendicular to the second lateral edges of the second connection strips.
  • the fourth fold lines and the third fold lines are thus aligned perpendicularly to one another, so that the folds of the separating webs and the folds of the connecting strips take place in directions perpendicular to one another.
  • first lateral edges and the second lateral edges of the second connection strips are parallel to one another.
  • fourth and the third fold lines are arranged parallel to one another, so that the folds of the dividing webs and the second connecting strips take place about axes that are parallel to one another.
  • the side panels are inclined outwardly with respect to the bottom panel so that the carriers are nestable in a pre-assembled arrangement in which the first and second connecting strips are each oriented in the same plane as the side panels connected thereto by the second fold lines.
  • the side walls have a trapezoidal contour for this purpose, which widens towards the top.
  • the second connecting strips have outwardly projecting lugs within interruptions in the fourth fold lines, which are separated by punched lines from the separating webs which extend between the ends of the fourth fold lines adjacent to the lugs.
  • some of the side panels are connected at the lateral edges by fifth fold lines to corner connecting flaps which bear against the respective adjacent side panels.
  • the shell formed from the bottom wall and the side walls can be stabilized by means of the corner connecting straps.
  • the corner connecting flaps are trapezoidal. This favors low-loss production.
  • corner connecting flaps are glued to the adjacent side walls and/or clamped, hooked or otherwise fixed between the adjacent side walls and the first connecting strip. This stabilizes the carrier in the shell shape. This stabilization can take place with and/or without gluing.
  • the first connecting strips are connected at the outer ends of the lower edges by sixth fold lines to lateral retention tabs fixed between the second connecting strips and the bottom wall.
  • the side walls bordering the lateral edges of the dividers are not directly connected to the dividers. This reduces the cost of materials and makes it easier to erect the wearer.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen schalenförmigen Träger aus Karton, Pappe oder einem anderen faltbaren Flachmaterial:
Der schalenförmige Träger ("Tray") weist eine Bodenwand, von den seitlichen Rändern der Bodenwand hochstehende Seitenwände und einen Trennsteg auf, der sich zwischen zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden erstreckt. Die Seitenwände und die Bodenwand bilden eine Schale, die durch den Trennsteg in Abteilungen unterteilt wird, in die Ware einsetzbar ist. Der Träger ist insbesondere zur Aufnahme stückiger oder dickflüssiger Ware vielfältiger Art geeignet, wie beispielsweise Schokoladentäfelchen, Kekse oder andere Süßwaren, Gemüse, Kräuter oder Obst, Pommes Frites und Mayonnaise oder Ketchup, Schrauben, Muttern, Dübel oder andere Befestigungsmittel, Bleistifte, Kreiden oder andere Schreibutensilien.The invention relates to a tray-shaped carrier made of cardboard, paperboard or another foldable flat material:
The dish-shaped carrier (“tray”) has a bottom wall, side walls that protrude from the lateral edges of the bottom wall, and a separating web that extends between two opposite side walls. The side walls and the bottom wall form a shell which is divided into compartments by the divider into which the goods can be inserted. The carrier is particularly suitable for holding chunky or viscous goods of all kinds, such as chocolate bars, biscuits or other confectionery, vegetables, herbs or fruit, French fries and mayonnaise or ketchup, screws, nuts, dowels or other fasteners, pencils, chalk or others stationery.

Die EP 3 095 722 B1 beschreibt eine Verpackung für Lebensmittel, insbesondere für Snacks, aus Pappe in Form einer Schale mit einem Boden, zwei Seitenwänden, einer Vorderwand und einer Rückwand und einem Trennwandteil, das an den Seitenkanten über Verbindungsstreifen, die mehrere Faltteile umfassen, mit den Seitenwänden verbunden ist und an der Unterkante mit einer Innenabdeckung des Bodens auf einer Seite des Trennwandteils verbunden ist. Die Innenabdeckung des Bodens ist über eine Faltlinie mit einer Innenabdeckung der Vorderwand verbunden, die wiederum über eine Faltlinie mit dem oberen Rand der Vorderwand verbunden ist. Die Verpackung kann beim Faltschachtelhersteller vollständig vorgeklebt werden und die Faltteile ermöglichen ein Falten des Trennwandteils flach gegen die Oberseite der Bodenwand. Die Seitenwände und die Vorderwände sind etwas nach außen geneigt. In diesem Zustand können die Verpackungen genestet und somit platzsparend gelagert und transportiert werden. Zum Befüllen werden die Verpackungen vom Stapel abgenommen und das Trennwandteil aufgeklappt. Danach sind die verschiedenen Abteile getrennt voneinander befüllbar. Nachteilig ist, dass die Verpackung nicht gut für das automatische Vorkonfektionieren vor dem Nesten und das automatische Aufrichten vor dem Befüllen geeignet ist und die Konstruktion die Geschwindigkeit der automatischen Verarbeitung limitiert. Außerdem ist nachteilig, dass die Konstruktion Verklebungen aufweist, wodurch das Recycling der Pappe beeinträchtigt wird.The EP 3 095 722 B1 describes packaging for foodstuffs, in particular for snacks, made of cardboard in the form of a tray with a base, two side walls, a front wall and a rear wall and a partition part which is connected to the side walls at the side edges via connecting strips which comprise a number of folding parts and connected at the lower edge to an inner cover of the floor on one side of the partition part. The base inner cover is connected by a fold line to a front wall inner cover, which in turn is connected by a fold line to the top edge of the front wall. The package can be fully pre-glued at the carton maker and the gussets allow the divider panel to fold flat against the top of the bottom panel.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen schalenförmigen Träger aus faltbarem Flachmaterial mit einem Trennsteg zu schaffen, der besser für die automatische Herstellung und Verarbeitung geeignet ist. Vorzugsweise soll auch die Wiederverwendbarkeit des Trägers verbessert werden.The object of the invention is to create a tray-shaped carrier made of foldable flat material with a separating web, which is better suited for automatic production and processing. Preferably, the reusability of the carrier should also be improved.

Die Aufgabe wird durch einen schalenförmigen Träger mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsarten des Trägers sind in Unteransprüchen angegeben.The object is achieved by a shell-shaped carrier having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the carrier are specified in the dependent claims.

Der erfindungsgemäße schalenförmige Träger aus Karton, Pappe oder einem anderen faltbaren Flachmaterial umfasst

  • eine Bodenwand,
  • Seitenwände, die über erste Faltlinien an ihren unteren Rändern mit den seitlichen Rändern der Bodenwand verbunden sind und die von der Bodenwand hochstehen,
  • erste Verbindungsstreifen, die jeweils über eine zweite Faltlinie an ihrem oberen Rand mit dem oberen Rand einer Seitenwand verbunden sind und die an den Innenseiten der damit verbundenen Seitenwände anliegen, wobei Seitenwände, die an den oberen Rändern mit ersten Verbindungstreifen verbunden sind, einander gegenüberliegen,
  • zweite Verbindungstreifen, die jeweils über eine dritte Faltlinie an einem ersten seitlichen Rand mit dem unteren Rand eines ersten Verbindungstreifens verbunden sind und die an der Oberseite der Bodenwand anliegen, und
  • Trennstege, die jeweils über eine vierte Faltlinie mit einem zweiten seitlichen Rand eines zweiten Verbindungstreifens verbunden sind, wobei die Mittelstege von den zweiten Verbindungstreifen hochstehen und aneinander anliegen, wobei
die ersten seitlichen Ränder senkrecht zu den zweiten seitlichen Rändern der zweiten Verbindungsstreifen verlaufen.The tray-shaped carrier according to the invention made of cardboard, cardboard or another foldable flat material comprises
  • a floor wall,
  • side walls which are connected to the side edges of the bottom wall by first fold lines at their lower edges and which stand up from the bottom wall,
  • first connecting strips which are each connected via a second fold line at their top edge to the top edge of a side wall and which abut the insides of the side walls connected thereto, wherein side walls, which are connected at the upper edges with first connection strips, face each other,
  • second connecting strips, each of which is connected to the lower edge of a first connecting strip by a third fold line at a first lateral edge and which abuts the top of the bottom wall, and
  • Separating webs, which are each connected via a fourth fold line to a second lateral edge of a second connecting strip, the central webs standing up from the second connecting strip and abutting one another, wherein

Der erfindungsgemäße Träger kann aus einem einzigen Zuschnitt faltbaren Flachmaterials gebildet werden. Er kann beim Faltschachtelhersteller durch Aufrichten der Seitenwände vorkonfektioniert werden, sodass von zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden jeweils in Fortsetzung derselben ein erster Verbindungstreifen, der damit verbundene zweite Verbindungstreifen und der damit verbundene Trennsteg hochstehen. In diesem Zustand kann der Träger durch Verbindungen zwischen den Seitenwänden stabilisiert werden, die beispielsweise durch Verhaken oder Verkleben von Eckverbindungslaschen an den Seitenrändern benachbarter Seitenwände hergestellt werden. Bei einer Ausführungsart mit etwas nach außen geneigten Seitenwänden können eine Vielzahl vorkonfektionierter Träger genestet gelagert und transportiert werden. Beim Hersteller oder Verpacker des in den Träger einzusetzenden Produktes werden die ersten Verbindungstreifen jeweils um die zweite Faltlinie gegen die damit verbundene Seitenwand, in entgegengesetzter Richtung die zweiten Verbindungstreifen jeweils um die dritte Faltlinie gegen die Oberseite der Bodenwand, die Trennstege jeweils um die vierte Faltlinie in senkrechter Ausrichtung zu dem damit verbundenen Verbindungstreifen gefaltet und werden die Trennstege in Anlage aneinander gebracht. Infolgedessen stützen sich die Trennstege aneinander ab und werden in der Stellung fixiert, in der sie zwei Abteile in der Schale voneinander trennen. Das Vorkonfektionieren und das vollständige Aufrichten des Trägers kann durch einfaches Falten erfolgen, das mit hoher Geschwindigkeit von Automaten durchgeführt werden kann. Dabei ist vorteilhaft, dass beim vollständigen Aufrichten des vorkonfektionierten Trägers Klebungen entfallen können, da die Trennstege und die damit verbundenen ersten und zweiten Verbindungsstreifen durch Abstützen aneinander in der vollständig aufgerichteten Stellung gehalten werden.The carrier according to the invention can be formed from a single blank of foldable sheet material. It can be pre-assembled by the folding box manufacturer by raising the side walls so that a first connecting strip, the second connecting strip connected thereto and the separating web connected thereto stand up from two side walls lying opposite one another, each continuing the same. In this condition, the carrier can be stabilized by connections between the side walls, for example by hooking or gluing corner connection flaps to the side edges of adjacent side walls. In an embodiment with slightly outwardly sloping side walls, a large number of pre-assembled carriers can be stored and transported nested. At the manufacturer or packer of the product to be inserted into the carrier, the first connecting strips are each folded around the second fold line against the side wall connected to it, in the opposite direction the second connecting strips are each folded around the third fold line against the upper side of the base wall, the separating webs are each folded around the fourth fold line in perpendicular orientation to the associated connecting strip folded and the dividers are brought into contact with each other. Consequently the dividers bear against each other and are fixed in position separating two compartments in the shell. The prefabrication and the complete erection of the carrier can be done by simple folding, which can be carried out at high speed by automatic machines. It is advantageous here that when the prefabricated carrier is completely erected, adhesive bonding can be dispensed with, since the separating webs and the first and second connecting strips connected thereto are held in the completely erected position by supporting one another.

Vorzugsweise werden die Trennstege um die vierten Faltlinien und die zweiten Verbindungsstreifen um die dritten Faltlinien gefaltet und gleichzeitig oder danach die ersten Verbindungsstreifen um die zweiten Faltlinien gefaltet. Hierdurch gelangen die ersten Verbindungsstreifen in Anlage an den Innenseiten der Seitenwände, die zweiten Verbindungsstreifen in Anlage an die Oberseite der Bodenwand und die Trennstege in Anlage aneinander.The separating webs are preferably folded around the fourth fold lines and the second connecting strips are folded around the third fold lines, and at the same time or afterwards the first connecting strips are folded around the second fold lines. As a result, the first connecting strips come into contact with the insides of the side walls, the second connecting strips come into contact with the upper side of the bottom wall and the separating webs come into contact with one another.

Gemäß der Erfindung verlaufen die ersten seitlichen Ränder der zweiten Verbindungstreifen senkrecht zu den zweiten seitlichen Rändern der zweiten Verbindungsstreifen. Somit sind die vierten Faltlinien und die dritten Faltlinien senkrecht zueinander ausgerichtet, sodass die Faltungen der Trennstege und die Faltung der Verbindungsstreifen in zueinander senkrechten Richtungen erfolgen.According to the invention, the first lateral edges of the second connection strips are perpendicular to the second lateral edges of the second connection strips. The fourth fold lines and the third fold lines are thus aligned perpendicularly to one another, so that the folds of the separating webs and the folds of the connecting strips take place in directions perpendicular to one another.

Bei einer anderen Ausführungsart, die nicht unter dem Schutzbereich der beigefügten Ansprüche fällt, verlaufen die ersten seitlichen Ränder und die zweiten seitlichen Ränder der zweiten Verbindungsstreifen parallel zueinander. Bei dieser Ausführungsart sind die vierten und die dritten Faltlinien parallel zueinander angeordnet, sodass die Faltungen der Trennstege und der zweiten Verbindungsstreifen um zueinander parallele Achsen erfolgen.In another embodiment which does not fall under the scope of the appended claims, the first lateral edges and the second lateral edges of the second connection strips are parallel to one another. In this embodiment, the fourth and the third fold lines are arranged parallel to one another, so that the folds of the dividing webs and the second connecting strips take place about axes that are parallel to one another.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsart sind die Seitenwände bezüglich der Bodenwand nach außen geneigt, sodass die Träger in einer vorkonfektionierten Anordnung, in der die ersten und zweiten Verbindungsstreifen jeweils in derselben Ebene wie die damit über die zweiten Faltlinien verbundenen Seitenwände ausgerichtet sind, ineinander schachtelbar sind. Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsart haben hierfür die Seitenwände eine trapezförmige Kontur, die sich nach oben verbreitert.According to a further embodiment, the side panels are inclined outwardly with respect to the bottom panel so that the carriers are nestable in a pre-assembled arrangement in which the first and second connecting strips are each oriented in the same plane as the side panels connected thereto by the second fold lines. According to a further embodiment, the side walls have a trapezoidal contour for this purpose, which widens towards the top.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsart weisen die zweiten Verbindungsstreifen innerhalb von Unterbrechungen der vierten Faltlinien nach außen vorstehende Nasen auf, die durch Stanzlinien von den Trennstege getrennt sind, die sich zwischen den an die Nasen angrenzenden Enden der vierten Faltlinien erstrecken. Beim Falten der Trennstege um die vierten Faltlinien bis zu deren senkrechten Ausrichtung zu den Verbindungsstreifen öffnen sich zwischen den Nasen und den Trennstegen Öffnungen mit zu den Nasen korrespondierenden Konturen. Die eine Nase überdeckt die andere Nase, greift in die von dieser freigegebenen Öffnung ein und stützt sich am Rand der von der anderen Nase freigegebenen Öffnung im Trennsteg ab.According to a further embodiment, the second connecting strips have outwardly projecting lugs within interruptions in the fourth fold lines, which are separated by punched lines from the separating webs which extend between the ends of the fourth fold lines adjacent to the lugs. When the separating webs are folded about the fourth fold lines until they are aligned perpendicularly to the connecting strips, openings with contours corresponding to the lugs open between the lugs and the separating webs. One lug covers the other lug, engages in the opening released by this and is supported on the edge of the opening in the separating web released by the other lug.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsart sind einige der Seitenwände an den seitlichen Rändern über fünfte Faltlinien mit Eckverbindungslaschen verbunden, die an den jeweils benachbarten Seitenwänden anliegen. Mittels der Eckverbindungslaschen kann die aus der Bodenwand und den Seitenwänden gebildete Schale stabilisiert werden. Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsart sind die Eckverbindungslaschen trapezförmig. Dies begünstigt eine verlustarme Herstellung.According to a further embodiment, some of the side panels are connected at the lateral edges by fifth fold lines to corner connecting flaps which bear against the respective adjacent side panels. The shell formed from the bottom wall and the side walls can be stabilized by means of the corner connecting straps. According to another embodiment, the corner connecting flaps are trapezoidal. This favors low-loss production.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsart sind die Eckverbindungslaschen mit den benachbarten Seitenwänden verklebt und/oder zwischen den benachbarten Seitenwänden und den ersten Verbindungsstreifen festgeklemmt, verhakt oder anderweitig fixiert. Hierdurch wird der Träger in der Schalenform stabilisiert. Diese Stabilisierung kann mit und/oder ohne Verklebung erfolgen.According to a further embodiment, the corner connecting flaps are glued to the adjacent side walls and/or clamped, hooked or otherwise fixed between the adjacent side walls and the first connecting strip. This stabilizes the carrier in the shell shape. This stabilization can take place with and/or without gluing.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsart sind die ersten Verbindungstreifen an den äußeren Enden der unteren Ränder über sechste Faltlinien mit seitlichen Rückhaltelaschen verbunden, die zwischen den zweiten Verbindungstreifen und der Bodenwand fixiert sind.According to another embodiment, the first connecting strips are connected at the outer ends of the lower edges by sixth fold lines to lateral retention tabs fixed between the second connecting strips and the bottom wall.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsart weisen die Seitenwände, die an die seitlichen Ränder der Trennstege angrenzen, keine direkte Verbindung mit den Trennstegen auf. Hierdurch wird der Materialaufwand verringert und das Aufrichten des Trägers erleichtert.According to another embodiment, the side walls bordering the lateral edges of the dividers are not directly connected to the dividers. This reduces the cost of materials and makes it easier to erect the wearer.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsart weist der Träger auf der Seite gegenüber der Bodenwand eine Abdeckung auf. Durch die Abdeckung können in den Träger eingesetzte Produkte geschützt werden. Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsart ist die Abdeckung ein haubenartig aufgesetzter oder an einen oberen Rand einer Seitenwand über eine sechste Faltlinie angelenkter Deckel, eine Hülle (Sleeve) oder ein Schuber, in die oder den der Träger eingeschoben ist, oder eine Faltschachtel, in die der Träger eingesetzt ist.According to another embodiment, the support has a cover on the side opposite the bottom wall. Products inserted into the carrier can be protected by the cover. According to a further embodiment, the cover is a hood-like attached lid or hinged to an upper edge of a side wall via a sixth fold line, a sleeve or a slipcase into which the carrier is inserted, or a folding box into which the carrier is used.

In der vorliegenden Anmeldung beziehen sich die Angaben "oben" und "unten" auf einen vollständig aufgerichteten schalenförmigen Träger, der mit der Unterseite der Bodenwand auf einen horizontalen Untergrund aufgesetzt ist, sodass sich die Seitenwände vom Untergrund weg nach oben erstrecken.In the present application, the terms "top" and "bottom" refer to a fully erected tray-shaped carrier, which is placed on a horizontal base with the underside of the bottom wall, so that the side walls extend upwardly away from the base.

Der Träger wird aus einem Zuschnitt faltbaren Flachmaterials hergestellt. Gemäß einer Ausführungsart wird der Träger aus einem einteiligen Zuschnitt hergestellt.The carrier is made from a blank of foldable sheet material. According to one embodiment, the support is made from a single blank.

Gemäß Fig. 1 weist der Zuschnitt 1.1 eine rechteckige Bodenwand 2 und vier Seitenwände 3.1 bis 3.4 auf. Die Seitenwände 3.1 bis 3.4 sind über erste Faltlinien 4.1 bis 4.4 an ihren unteren Rändern mit den seitlichen Rändern der Bodenwand 2 verbunden. Die Seitenwände 3.1 bis 3.4 sind jeweils trapezförmig, wobei sich ihre Breite mit zunehmendem Abstand von der ersten Faltlinie 4.1 bis 4.4 vergrößert.According to 1 the blank 1.1 has a rectangular bottom wall 2 and four side walls 3.1 to 3.4. The side walls 3.1 to 3.4 are connected to the side edges of the base wall 2 at their lower edges via first fold lines 4.1 to 4.4. The side walls 3.1 to 3.4 are each trapezoidal, with their width increasing as the distance from the first fold line 4.1 to 4.4 increases.

Ferner umfasst der Zuschnitt 1.1 erste Verbindungsstreifen 5.1, 5.2, die jeweils über eine zweite Faltlinie 6.1, 6.2 an ihren oberen Rändern mit den oberen Rändern einer Seitenwand 3.1, 3.3 verbunden sind. Bei den oberen Rändern handelt es sich um die breiteren Ränder der Seitenwände 3.1, 3.3. Die ersten Verbindungsstreifen 5.1, 5.2 sind entsprechend den Seitenwänden 3.1, 3.3 trapezförmig ausgebildet, sodass sie um die zweiten Faltlinien 6.1, 6.2 flächendeckend gegen die Seitenwände 3.1, 3.3 faltbar sind.Furthermore, the blank 1.1 comprises first connecting strips 5.1, 5.2, each of which is connected at its upper edges to the upper edges of a side wall 3.1, 3.3 via a second folding line 6.1, 6.2. The upper edges are the wider edges of the side walls 3.1, 3.3. The first connecting strips 5.1, 5.2 are trapezoidal in shape corresponding to the side walls 3.1, 3.3, so that they can be folded around the second fold lines 6.1, 6.2 across the board against the side walls 3.1, 3.3.

Ferner umfasst der Zuschnitt 1.1 zweite Verbindungsstreifen 7.1, 7.2, die jeweils über eine dritte Faltlinie 8.1, 8.2 an einem ersten seitlichen Rand mit dem unteren Rand eines der ersten Verbindungsstreifen 5.1, 5.2 verbunden sind.The blank 1.1 also includes second connecting strips 7.1, 7.2, which are each connected to the lower edge of one of the first connecting strips 5.1, 5.2 via a third fold line 8.1, 8.2 on a first lateral edge.

Die zweiten Verbindungsstreifen 7.1, 7.2 sind wiederum jeweils über eine vierte Faltlinie 9.1, 9.2 an einem zweiten seitlichen Rand mit einem trapezförmigen Trennsteg 10,1, 10.2 verbunden. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel erstrecken sich die vierten Faltlinien 9.1, 9.2 senkrecht zu den dritten Faltlinien 8.1, 8.2. Die zweiten Verbindungsstreifen 7.1, 7.2 sind rechteckig, wobei ihr erster seitlicher Rand halb so lang ist wie der untere Rand des ersten Verbindungsstreifens 5.1, 5.2.The second connecting strips 7.1, 7.2 are in turn connected to a trapezoidal separating web 10.1, 10.2 via a fourth fold line 9.1, 9.2 on a second lateral edge. In this embodiment, the fourth fold lines 9.1, 9.2 extend perpendicular to the third fold lines 8.1, 8.2. The second connecting strips 7.1, 7.2 are rectangular, with their first lateral edge being half as long as the lower edge of the first connecting strip 5.1, 5.2.

Die zweiten Verbindungsstreifen 7.1, 7.2 haben innerhalb von Unterbrechungen der vierten Faltlinien 9.1, 9.2 nach außen vorstehende Nasen 11.1, 11.2. Die Nasen 11.1, 11.2 sind durch Stanzlinien 12.1, 12.2 von den Trennstegen 10.1, 10.2 getrennt, die sich zwischen den an die Nasen 11.1, 11.2 angrenzenden Enden der vierten Faltlinien 9.1, 9.2 erstrecken.The second connecting strips 7.1, 7.2 have outwardly projecting lugs 11.1, 11.2 within interruptions in the fourth fold lines 9.1, 9.2. The lugs 11.1, 11.2 are separated from the separating webs 10.1, 10.2 by punched lines 12.1, 12.2, which extend between the ends of the fourth fold lines 9.1, 9.2 adjoining the lugs 11.1, 11.2.

Schließlich sind die Seitenwände 3.2, 3.4, die nicht über zweite Faltlinien 6.1, 6.2 mit ersten Verbindungsstreifen 5.1, 5.2 verbunden sind, über fünfte Faltlinien 13.1 bis 13.4 an ihren seitlichen Rändern mit trapezförmigen Eckverbindungslaschen 14.1 bis 14.4 verbunden.Finally, the side walls 3.2, 3.4, which are not connected to first connecting strips 5.1, 5.2 via second fold lines 6.1, 6.2, are connected to trapezoidal corner connecting flaps 14.1 to 14.4 via fifth fold lines 13.1 to 13.4 at their lateral edges.

Zum Aufrichten des Trägers werden die Eckverbindungslaschen 14.1 bis 14.4 um die fünften Faltlinien 13.1 bis 13.4 herum in etwa senkrechter Ausrichtung zu den mit ihnen verbunden Seitenwänden 3.2, 3.4 gefaltet und sämtliche Seitenwände 3.1 bis 3.4 um die ersten Faltlinien 4.1 bis 4.4 nach oben gefaltet, bis sie an ihren seitlichen Rändern aneinanderstoßen. In dieser Ausrichtung werden sie durch Festkleben der Eckverbindungslaschen 14.1 bis 14.4 an den Innenseiten der benachbarten Seitenwände 3.1, 3.3 gesichert.To erect the carrier, the corner connecting flaps 14.1 to 14.4 are folded around the fifth fold lines 13.1 to 13.4 in an approximately perpendicular orientation to the side walls 3.2, 3.4 connected to them and all side walls 3.1 to 3.4 are folded upwards around the first fold lines 4.1 to 4.4 until they abut at their lateral edges. They are secured in this orientation by gluing the corner connecting flaps 14.1 to 14.4 to the insides of the adjacent side walls 3.1, 3.3.

Die Seitenwände 3.1 bis 3.4 und die Bodenwand 2 bilden dann einen oben geöffneten und sich nach oben allmählich erweiternden ersten schalenförmigen Träger 15.1. In dieser Konfiguration ist der erste Träger 15.1 in Fig. 2 gezeigt. Daraus ist auch ersichtlich, dass die ersten Verbindungsstreifen 5.1, 5.2 in derselben Ebene wie die damit über zweite Faltlinien 6.1, 6.2 verbundenen Seitenwände 3.1, 3.2 und die damit über dritte Faltlinien 8.1, 8.2 verbundenen zweiten Verbindungsstreifen 7.1, 7.2 sowie die damit über vierte Faltlinien 9.1, 9.2 verbundene Trennstege 10.1, 10.2 angeordnet sind.The side walls 3.1 to 3.4 and the bottom wall 2 then form a first shell-shaped carrier 15.1 which is open at the top and gradually widens upwards. In this configuration, the first beam is 15.1 in 2 shown. It can also be seen from this that the first connecting strips 5.1, 5.2 are in the same plane as the side walls 3.1, 3.2 connected thereto via second fold lines 6.1, 6.2 and the second connecting strips 7.1, 7.2 connected thereto via third fold lines 8.1, 8.2 and the fourth fold lines connected thereto 9.1, 9.2 connected dividers 10.1, 10.2 are arranged.

Gemäß Fig. 3 können eine Vielzahl solcher vorkonfektionierter erster Träger 15.1 platzsparend genestet und im Stapel 16 gelagert werden.According to 3 a large number of such prefabricated first carriers 15.1 can be nested to save space and stored in the stack 16.

Zum Verpacken von Erzeugnissen können einzelne erste Träger 15.1 aus dem Stapel 16 genommen werden. Vor dem Verpacken wird jeder erste Träger 15.1 vollständig aufgerichtet. Hierfür werden die ersten Verbindungsstreifen 5.1, 5.2 um die zweiten Faltlinien 6.1, 6.2 gegen die Innenseiten der damit verbundenen Seitenwände 3.1, 3.3, die zweiten Verbindungsstreifen 7.1, 7.2 um die dritten Faltlinien 8.1, 8.2 in entgegengesetzter Richtung geklappt und die Trennstege 10.1, 10.2 um die vierten Faltlinien 9.1, 9.2 nach außen in senkrechter Ausrichtung zu den zweiten Verbindungsstreifen 7.1, 7.2 geklappt. Dies ist in Fig. 4 gezeigt. Hierbei bilden sich zwischen den Nasen 11.1, 11.2 und den benachbarten Trennstegen 10.1, 10.2 schlitzförmige Öffnungen 17.1, 17.2, deren Kontur durch die Stanzlinien 12.1, 12.2 begrenzt wird. Diese Faltungen können ganz oder teilweise zur gleichen Zeit oder aufeinanderfolgend durchgeführt werden.Individual first carriers 15.1 can be taken from the stack 16 for packaging products. Before packing, each first carrier 15.1 is fully erected. For this purpose, the first connecting strips 5.1, 5.2 are folded around the second fold lines 6.1, 6.2 against the insides of the side walls 3.1, 3.3 connected thereto, the second connecting strips 7.1, 7.2 are folded around the third fold lines 8.1, 8.2 in the opposite direction and the dividers 10.1, 10.2 are folded around the fourth folding lines 9.1, 9.2 are folded outwards in a perpendicular alignment to the second connecting strips 7.1, 7.2. this is in 4 shown. In this case, slot-like openings 17.1, 17.2 are formed between the lugs 11.1, 11.2 and the adjacent separating webs 10.1, 10.2, the contour of which is limited by the punched lines 12.1, 12.2. These folds can be performed in whole or in part at the same time or sequentially.

Beim weiteren Falten gleiten gemäß Fig. 5 die Trennstege 10.1, 10.2 mit den einander zugewandten Seiten aneinander entlang.With further folding slide according to figure 5 the separating webs 10.1, 10.2 with the sides facing each other along.

Wenn die zweiten Verbindungsstreifen 7.1,7.2 auf die Oberseite der Bodenwand 2 treffen, sind die Trennstege 10.1, 10.2 deckungsgleich nebeneinander angeordnet.When the second connecting strips 7.1, 7.2 hit the top of the bottom wall 2, the separating webs 10.1, 10.2 are arranged congruently next to one another.

In dieser Stellung überdeckt eine Nase 12.1 die andere Nase 12.2 und greift in die Öffnung 17.2 im Trennsteg 10.2 oberhalb der andere Nase 12.2 ein. Hierdurch ist der erste Träger 15.1 in der vollständig aufgerichteten Position gesichert. Dies ist in Fig. 6 und 7 gezeigt. Die Trennstege 10.1, 10.2 unterteilen den ersten Träger 15.1 in zwei Fächer 18.1, 18.2. In die Fächer sind Erzeugnisse einsetzbar, die durch die Trennstege voneinander getrennt werden. Dies ist beispielsweise zur Trennung unterschiedlicher Produktsorten von Vorteil.In this position, a lug 12.1 covers the other lug 12.2 and engages in the opening 17.2 in the divider 10.2 above the other lug 12.2. As a result, the first carrier 15.1 is secured in the fully erected position. this is in 6 and 7 shown. The dividers 10.1, 10.2 divide the first carrier 15.1 into two compartments 18.1, 18.2. Products that are separated from one another by the dividers can be inserted into the compartments. This is advantageous, for example, for separating different product types.

Der zweite Träger 15.2 von Fig. 8 bis 11 unterscheidet sich von dem ersten Träger 15.1 dadurch, dass die ersten Verbindungsstreifen 5.1, 5.2 an den äußeren Enden der unteren Ränder über sechste Faltlinien 19.1, 19.2 mit seitlichen Rückhaltelaschen 20.1, 20.2 verbunden sind. Im Beispiel sind die seitlichen Rückhaltelaschen 20.1, 20.2 rechteckig ausgebildet.The second carrier 15.2 from Figures 8 to 11 differs from the first carrier 15.1 in that the first connecting strips 5.1, 5.2 are connected at the outer ends of the lower edges via sixth fold lines 19.1, 19.2 to lateral retaining flaps 20.1, 20.2. In the example, the lateral retaining tabs 20.1, 20.2 are rectangular.

Beim Aufrichten des zweiten Trägers 15.2 werden die Rückhaltelaschen 20.1, 20.2 jeweils zwischen den zweiten Verbindungsstreifen 7.1, 7.2 und der Bodenwand 2 fixiert. Hierdurch werden die ersten Verbindungstreifen 5.1, 5.2 in Anlage an den Innenseiten der Seitenwände 3.1, 3.3 gehalten und wird verhindert, dass sie durch die Rückstellkräfte im Karton von den Seitenwänden 3.1, 3.3 abstehen.When the second carrier 15.2 is erected, the retaining tabs 20.1, 20.2 are each fixed between the second connecting strips 7.1, 7.2 and the bottom wall 2. This keeps the first connecting strips 5.1, 5.2 in contact with the insides of the side walls 3.1, 3.3 and prevents them from protruding from the side walls 3.1, 3.3 due to the restoring forces in the box.

Der dritte Träger 15.3 von Fig. 12 bis 14 unterscheidet sich von dem zweiten Träger 15.2 dadurch, dass die zweiten Verbindungsstreifen 7.1, 7.2 parallele erste seitliche Ränder aufweisen. Ferner sind die zweiten Verbindungsstreifen jeweils über eine dritte Faltlinie 8.1, 8.2 entlang des gesamten unteren Randes der ersten Verbindungsstreifen 5.1, 5.2 mit diesen verbunden. Infolgedessen werden beim Aufrichten die ersten Verbindungsstreifen 5.1, 5.2 und die Trennstege 10.1, 10.2 in entgegengesetzter Richtung zu den ersten Verbindungsstreifen 5.1, 5.2 gefaltet. Dies ist insbesondere in Fig. 14 gezeigt.The third carrier 15.3 from Figures 12 to 14 differs from the second carrier 15.2 in that the second connecting strips 7.1, 7.2 have parallel first lateral edges. Furthermore, the second connecting strips are each connected to the first connecting strips 5.1, 5.2 via a third folding line 8.1, 8.2 along the entire lower edge thereof. As a result, when Erect the first connecting strips 5.1, 5.2 and the separating webs 10.1, 10.2 folded in the opposite direction to the first connecting strips 5.1, 5.2. This is particularly in 14 shown.
