Abstract

A parallelepiped package for wafer-shaped articles comprising a blank of wrapping material wrapped hoselike around the content of the package and having its ends folded against opposite end walls of the content. A tape is wrapped around the package and provided at least at one portion covering the folded flaps of the wrapping with a perforated tear line. The tape is adhesively secured near its tearable portion to the wrapping material, so that the package may be opened at one end only without unwrapping the entire content of the same.

PATENTED JUN nan PARALLELEPIPED PACKAGE The invention'relates to a parallelepiped package for wafershaped articles and comprises a blank of wrapping. material which after being placed in the form of a hose around the content of the package is provided with a longitudinal fold, while the two ends of the hose are folded over the entire width of the package. in the fonn of transverse flaps which are inwardly folded in such a manner that the transverse flaps are disposed in the plane of the lower and upper wall faces in which position these flaps are held by an endless tape which is wrapped around the entire package.
Packages of this type are already known. They have the property that after completely tearing off of the tape, both folded closures at the ends of the package will be opened at the same time, in fact the wrapping material is completely open and exposes the entire'content of the package. This property of the package has, however, a disadvantage, particularly when it is desired to remove from the package only a portion of the content and one desires to close the package again. This is particularly the case when the package is used for stacks of crackers or wafer-shaped biscuits.
It is an object of the invention to improve a package of this type in such a manner that it may also be used for the purpose of removing only a portion of its content and then close it again. According to the invention the tape which surrounds the package is provided at least at one place where it covers a transverse flap with a perforation, while at least at one point of the larger sidewalls of the wrapping material, the tape is glued,
cemented or sealed thereto by a hot sealing operation.
The mentioned perforation makes it easy to tear the tape at the most suitable point of the package, while the gluing, cementing or sealing of the tape to the larger sidewalls of the package prevents a complete removal of the tape from the package, so that the folded closure at the opposite side of the package remains closed.
The drawing illustrates an embodiment of the package of the invention.
In the drawing;
FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of a partially completed package, 7
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the completed package, and
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the completed package, but having one of its sides opened.
FIG. 1 which illustrates a partly completed package, for instance for crackers, the wrapping material of which, for instance a blank of wax paper, is wrapped like a hose around the content of the package in such a manner that a longitudinal fold l is formed along one of the large sidewalls 5 of the package. The hose-shaped wrapper extends with its two ends beyond the content of the package and these ends are folded against the small sidewalls 2 by forming triangular folds 3 and outwardly extending transverse flaps 4i.
For completing the package the two outwardly extending transverse flaps 4 are folded into the plane of the small sidewalls 2 and then a tape 6 is wrapped around the package in such a manner that the large sidewalls S and the small sidewalls 2 are covered, as this is shown in FIG. 2. In order to open this package the tape 6 has to be torn asunder.
In order to make the opening of the package easy, the tape 6 is provided at the place of the small sidewalls 2 which cover also the transverse flaps 4 with a line of perforations 7.- In order to prevent that the tape 6 after tearing along the perforation will be completely removed from the package and thereby would also-expose the transverse flaps 4 at the other side of the package, .the tape 6 is secured by adhesive spots 8 adjacent the edges 9 of the package with the larger sidewall 5 of the wrapping material.
FIG. 3 shows that only one end of the package has been opened while the opposite end of the package which also has a folded closure remains closed. If desired, the tape 6 by a suitable selection of the wrapping material and tape material may be fixedly attached to the larger sidewalls, for instance by means of a hot sealing operation.
What I claim is:
1. Parallelepiped package for wafer-shaped articles, comprising a blank of wrapping material which is wrapped hoselike around the content of the package and provided with a longitudinal fold extending along one of the larger walls of said package, the ends of said hoselike wrapper being closed by folding said ends against opposite smaller walls of the content of the package and by forming at said smaller walls of the content of the package and by forming at said smaller walls transverse flaps folded against said smaller walls, and endless tape extending around said package and extending over said large: walls and said folded flaps, the portion of said tape covering at least one of said folded flaps being provided with a perforation permitting tearing of said tape, and means adhesively connecting said tape to said wrapping material at selected places of said larger sidewalls.
2. Package according to claim I, in which a perforated line extends across the entire width of said tape.
3. Package according to claim 1, in which said tape is adhesively connected to said wrapping material adjacent the edges of said larger walls.
