Abstract

Folding box (60) with four shell sides (11, 12, 13, 14), a top and a Ausschütthilfe, characterized in that a first inner flap (1) of the folding box (60) via a first folded edge (21) on a first Sheath side (11) is provided, is unfoldable as Ausschütthilfe and at least partially by a cutout in the top can be folded out.

Description

The invention relates to a carton with four shell sides, a top and a Ausschütthilfe. Furthermore, the invention relates to a blank for a carton. Such a carton is z. B. from the DE 089 03 012 U1 known.

folding cartons for pourable products are from the Prior art known in different embodiments. They are used for example for sugar, salt or others Food, but also for products such as detergents, seeds o. Ä. Used. Folding boxes are partially cut open or torn open and then the content over the torn open emptied.

In the aforementioned DE 089 03 012 U1 is on one side of the carton a rupturable tamper evident closure formed. In the demolished state, a delivery aid attached to the folding box side and pivotable about a tilting axis extending in the folding box side can be extended. Thus, it is possible to distribute the goods located inside the carton in controllable quantities. The known Ausschütthilfe is essentially composed of three walls, namely a base page and two molded onto this base side walls. An edge or an edge of the base side represents the axis around which the dispensing aid is pivoted during extension. When pouring the product, the sidewalls of the pouring aid ensure that the product can not run away or run off unchecked on the side, but can only be poured out over the free bottom edge of the base. A particularly fine dosage of the discharge process is not possible due to the relatively long and slightly curved pouring edge.

The Sidewalls of the dispensing aid are further associated with a disadvantage in the manufacture of the carton, as they are not from the carton material of the carton side can be trained themselves, arranged on the Ausschütthilfe is. The well-known Ausschütthilfe must at least partially produced by folding another, separate blank and then be inserted into the known carton or attached to it. This is one in mass production not to be underestimated effort, as a processing separate blanks and joining the separate Blanks is required.

Further is the tilt axis of the release aid in the known carton arranged relatively close to a narrow side edge of the carton. A remaining distance, which is a dumping of the entire folding box contents difficult, but persists. Consequently, the known carton is not designed to be completely user-friendly, since it is in the Edge region, the one shell side of the carton and the Remaining section results, can accumulate contents, that not can easily trickle out of the carton.

Object of the invention

It is therefore the object of the present invention, a simple and inexpensive producible from a single cut Folding box provide complete emptying and a fine dosing of the emptying process allowed.

Brief description of the invention

These The object is achieved in that a folding box of the initially provided type, which characterized is that a first inner flap of the carton, which has a first folded edge is provided on a first shell side, as Ausschultthilfe is foldable and at least partially by a cutout in the top is foldable.

The Foldability of the first inner flap allows it, from the inner flap even to produce the Ausschütthilfe. There is no insertion additional folding carton components necessary. The inventive Release aid is provided by a corresponding folding process at least partially made from the first inner flap. By the possibility of the entire carton from a single cut to be able to produce without needing separate blanks and to use these manually or mechanically or fasten, The material costs and the production costs are more advantageous Way lowered.

Thereby that the release aid on the first folded edge formed on the first shell side forms the first folded edge at the same time a swivel or tilt axis for the release aid. This in turn, advantageously allows complete emptying the contents of the carton, without residues of the contents can remain at inner edges or remaining portions of the carton and make emptying difficult.

The Folding box according to the invention can about it filled in an advantageous manner fully automatic become. These can z. B. filling plants used which are typical in the agro, consumer or food sector are.

The first inner flap is folded out according to the invention as a release aid through the cutout in the top of the carton. With others Words: The first inner flap is as such, ie the inner flap material itself, at least partially unfolded. The first inner flap has different folded edges, which allows folding out of the first inner flap of a folded, closed state of the carton in an unfolded, open state of the carton. It is understood that the first inner flap can also be folded back from the unfolded, opened state into the closed state of the folding box. This is z. B. after a partial removal of the product or good inside the carton possible. After such a partial removal of the product, the dispensing aid can be recessed and locked by finger pressure. Then the carton, in particular the cut in the top again closed.

The Pouring aid according to the invention is typical formed at the top of the carton. The carton naturally also has a bottom or bottom side on. It is also conceivable that the carton is on its underside a dispensing aid according to the invention having. Under cutout in the top or bottom is z. B. a hole, a recess or an opening in the top or underside forming carton material understood.

Preferred embodiments the invention

Especially preferred is an embodiment in which the top has a tamper-evident closure, its destruction the formation of the cut allows. The originality closure shows the user or consumer unequivocally that the carton was previously either unopened or has been opened before. The opening or destroying the tamper-evident closure According to the invention the result that in Faltschachtelmaterial the top of the neckline is exposed, through which the correspondingly folded Inner flap or the Ausschüttthilfe be folded out can. Originality closures can z. B. by a perforated area in Faltschachtelmaterial be formed, which either expose the cutout directly or only access to another folding process for allow the exposure of the excerpt. perforated Areas are usually left alone by human muscle power easy to tear or tear or destroy.

Prefers is another embodiment characterized is that the top is formed as an outer flap is, which has a second folded edge to a second shell side is formed, and that on one of the second shell side opposite lying third shell side one over a third folded edge molded second inner flap is formed with the outer flap connected, which rests on the outer flap, or the especially glued to this. By training a consistent and coherent outer strap or in that the cutout for folding the first Inner tab only a small area of the outer flap The remaining area can typically be large and flat the outer flap for identification purposes of the folding box contents be used. For example, stickers with appropriate references or labels etc. conceivable as a label. The markings of the folding carton contents are opened when opening the carton or when unfolding the dispensing aid not destroyed or damaged because of the large area area remains intact. The second shell side is over at one of its edges a Hilfsfalzkante formed on the first shell side. The third Sheath side is at its corresponding edge over one further Hilfsfalzkante formed on the first shell side. To the outer flap and connect the second inner tab together Various adhesive techniques or fasteners are used come. Conceivable are different glues, adhesives, but also staples or similar.

Prefers is also a development of the previous embodiment, at the first inner tab over a fourth folded edge is integrally formed on the second inner flap, and in which the first inner flap on a fifth folded edge formed on the outer flap is formed, wherein formed on the first inner flap first Diagonalfalzkanten are from the ends of the first folded edge to the middle of the free Edge of the first inner flap run, with the outer flap formed second Diagonalfalzkanten, and wherein at the second Inner flap a third diagonal seam edge is provided in the folded state of the first inner flap of one of the second Diagonal rabbet edges is hidden.

In such a further developed carton triangular flaps are exposed by the tearing or destruction of the tamper evident on the one hand (on the outside of the first inner flap) from lower parts of the first inner flap, which are bounded by a first Diagonalfalzkante and the fourth and fifth folded edge, and on the other hand (on the outer side of the outer flap) consist of upper parts of the outer flap delimited by one of the second diagonal folding edges and consisting of a middle part of the second inner flap. The thus exposed triangular tabs can then be folded up, in particular be folded up over a vertically projecting from the top position out, whereby a lying through the first Diagonalfalzkanten and the first folded edge in the first inner tab large triangle becomes accessible. The large triangle of the first inner flap can then z. B. by means of an existing finger grip in Faltschachtelmaterial also be taken alone by a finger and actively pulled out or folded out. When folding out the large triangle of the first inner flap, the two triangular flaps increasingly fold, ie the parts of the triangle tabs that belong to the first inner tab (the one hand by the first Diagonalfalzkanten and the fourth and fifth fold edges delimited parts of the first inner flap) and the Parts of the triangular tabs belonging to the outer flap (or the second inner flap) (the parts of the outer flap bounded on the other by the second diagonal fold edges) are increasingly lifted apart from each other (unfolded) and are only connected to one another via the fourth or fifth fold edge.

The first inner flap can be folded out at least as far as until the over the fourth or fifth fold edge interconnected upper and lower or upper, middle and lower parts of the triangle straps almost completely unfolded and together with the big triangle of first inner flap forming a beak-like release aid. By unfolding the big triangle of the first Inner flap from the top of the carton or out of the plane the outer flap, the cutout is in the top or bottom the carton exposed, leaving an opening for emptying the carton yields. The detail is according to the invention big as the big triangle of the first inner flap. Therefore, come in the unopened state of the carton, d. H. with folded in the first inner flap and while the triangle straps are in the folded state, on the one hand (z. B. left side of the carton) one of the first Diagonalfalzkanten the first inner tab, the third Diagonalfalzkante the second Inner flap and one of the second Diagonalfalzkanten the outer flap lie on each other (the third Diagonalfalzkante is then from the second diagonal rabbet edge), on the other hand (eg right Side of the carton) comes the other of the first diagonal seam edges to lie on the other second Diagonalfalzkante (the first Diagonalfalzkante is then obscured by the second Diagonalfalzkante). By the beak-like release aid is a very fine dosing of the contents allowed.

Also preferred is an embodiment in which in free edge areas the carton material recesses are provided. Thereby Stress peaks in the folding box material when folding and unfolding avoiding the release aid. Thus, a tearing of folding carton material is prevented by the influence of moisture. A material recess or defect can, for. B. a hole (circular or semicircular) or a different shape Be cutout. Among free edge areas will be among others also understood the ends of folded edges.

at Another preferred embodiment is on the first Jacket side and / or the first inner flap in each case at least one Zusatzfalzkante formed in a respect to the adjacent shell side lying median plane runs. Thereby can be an even cheaper Ausschüttform the carton, in particular by slightly squeezing the carton from the second and third shell side, can be achieved. The Additional folded edges allow it namely, the large Triangle of the first inner flap further divided in the middle, and to further improve the beak shape of the release aid or the Feindosierfunktion the Ausschütthilfe even stronger to support. The additional fold edge of the first shell side is typically from the first folded edge to far into the formed first shell side where it ends either abruptly or by means of two diagonal additional rabbet edges up to the bottom side Corners of the first shell side are continued. The latter Variant supports the beak-like unfolding of the release aid in a particularly advantageous manner.

Prefers Finally, an embodiment in which the Folding box made of cardboard, corrugated cardboard or the like is. These starting materials are on favorable terms to procure and z. B. in agro / consumer / food sector or used in agriculture for the storage of seeds, etc. Cartons made from these raw materials, Thus, usually at profitable prices in the market can be offered and thus to competitive advantages to lead. The carton can also be made of paper, in particular made of a relatively thick (thick) paper.

In the scope of the invention further falls a blank from cardboard, corrugated cardboard or the like for erecting the invention Folding box. Such a blank can save space (lying flat) be handled so that the inventive Folding box z. B. cheap over long distances can be transported. The cut can also be made of paper, in particular consist of a relatively strong (thick) paper.

Further advantages of the invention will become apparent from the description and the drawings. Likewise, according to the invention, the above-mentioned features and those which are further developed can each be used individually for themselves or for a plurality of combinations of any kind. The embodiments shown and described are not to be understood as an exhaustive list, but rather have exemplary character for the Schil tion of the invention.

Through the second Diagonalfalzkante 32b and the perforation strip 27 becomes an upper part 42a limited to a second triangle tab. Furthermore, by the fourth folded edge 24 and the first diagonal seam edge 31b a lower part 42c limited to the second triangle tab. Furthermore, limit the fourth folded edge 24 and the third diagonal rabbet edge 33 on the second inner flap 2 a middle part 42b the second triangle tab. Finally, on the first inner flap 1 through the first diagonal seam edges 31a . 31b and the first folded edge 11 a big triangle 43 limited. The upper and lower parts 41a . 42a . 41b . 42c as well as the middle part 42b , and the big triangle 43 are typically at the same time rectangular and isosceles.

In the erected and (originally) closed state of the folding box lie the insides of the upper part 41a the first triangle tab on the inside of the lower part 41b the first triangle tab. Both parts 41a . 41b the first triangular tab are congruent to each other and the outside of the lower part 41b the first triangle tab lies on one half of the big triangle 43 the first inner flap 1 on. With regard to the second triangular flap, its upper part is 42a in the erect (and thus glued) and closed state on the middle part 42b glued to the second triangular tab and the insides of the middle and lower part 42b . 42c the second triangle tab touch each other. Then lies the outside of the lower part 42c the second triangle tab on the other half of the big triangle 43 on.

On the first coat side 11 and the first inner strap 1 run in the middle additional folding edges 51a . 51b , wherein the Zusatzfalzkante 51b the shell side 11 about one-third of the lateral shell ends and on Zusatzdiagonalfalzkanten 52a . 52b to the bottom corners of the first shell side 11 is guided. Along the edge 26 the first inner flap 1 , especially in the middle of the edge 26 and at the ends of the fourth and fifth folded edges 24 . 25 are material recesses 53 formed in the blank. The first inner strap 1 is through the first, fourth and fifth fold edge 21 . 24 . 25 as well as the free edge 26 limited.

In the 2a is with 60 a carton, which is shown in a perspective view and the blank according to 1 is upright. The carton 60 is shown in the closed state. In the 2a is essentially the first and third shell side 11 . 13 as well as the outer flap 15 seen. In addition, the first folded edge 21 , the second folded edge 22 , the third folded edge 23 , the additional fold edge 51b as well as the additional fold edges 52a . 52b shown. The carton 60 is in the erected state substantially cuboid. The second and third fold edges 22 . 23 then typically run parallel to each other.

The 2 B shows a partial area of the perspective view 2a in particular, the area near the first inner flap 1 is shown. I'm in the 2 B shown (closed) state of the carton 60 is the perforation strip 27 not yet demolished or destroyed, so that the upper part 41a the first triangle tab over the perforation strip 27 with the upper part 42a the second triangular tab is connected. To the remaining outer flap 15 There are the upper part 41a the first triangle flap and the upper part 42a the second triangle tab over the second Diagonalfalzkante 32a or the second Diagonalfalzkante 32b connected.

In the 2c became the perforation strip 27 between the upper part 41a and the upper part 42a demolished and is only partially with the outer flap 15 connected. The perforation strip 27 Of course, it can also be done completely from the outer strap 15 removed (demolished).

The 2d shows the first triangle tab 41 and the second triangle tab 42 in a partially folded up state. This condition is when folding out the first inner flap 1 for forming the dispensing aid or for folding the first inner flap 1 to close the carton 60 passed. Due to the partially folded up representation of the first and second triangle straps 41 . 42 becomes the big triangle 43 the first inner flap 1 as well as the lower part 41b the first triangle tab 41 or the lower part 42c the second triangle tab 42 seen. On the big triangle 43 the first inner flap 1 is also the center extending Zusatzfalzkante 51a shown.
