Description

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Flaschenträger aus einem einteiligen Zuschnitt faltbaren Flachmaterials nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a bottle carrier made of a one-piece blank, foldable flat material according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der DE-AS 13 00 062 ist ein Flaschenträger vom Hülltyp der vorgenannten Art bekannt. Die Deckwand hat zwei parallele Reihen mit jeweils drei Flaschenlöchern, durch die insgesamt sechs Flaschenhälse hinausragen. Zwischen den beiden Flaschenreihen sind Öffnungen für einen Fingereingriff ausgebildet. Die Fingeröffnungen ermöglichen einen Zugriff von oben und erleichtern dadurch das Anheben des Flaschenträgers beispielsweise aus einem Regal. Für ein längeres Tragen der Flaschenpackung sind sie jedoch ungeeignet, weil sie eine unbequeme Fingerhaltung voraussetzen und die Flaschenhälse und Kronkorken mit eingesetzten Fingern kollidieren. Außerdem ist die Kraftüberleitung von den Fingern in die Deckwand ungünstig, so daß letztere beim Anheben und Tragen leicht ausreißen kann.From DE-AS 13 00 062 a bottle carrier of the envelope type of the aforementioned type is known. The top wall has two parallel rows, each with three bottle holes, through which a total of six bottle necks protrude. Openings for finger intervention are formed between the two rows of bottles. The finger openings allow access from above and thereby make it easier to lift the bottle carrier, for example from a shelf. For a However, they are unsuitable for longer periods of time because they require an uncomfortable finger position and the bottle necks and bottle caps collide with inserted fingers. In addition, the transfer of force from the fingers into the top wall is unfavorable, so that the latter can easily tear out when lifting and carrying.

Diese Flaschenträger werden deshalb zumeist am Bodenbereich unterfaßt getragen, was ebenfalls unbequem ist und Geschick erfordert.These bottle carriers are therefore mostly carried underfoot on the floor area, which is also uncomfortable and requires skill.

Bessere Trageigenschaften sind bei Flaschenträgern gegeben, wie sie aus der DE-PS 34 02 729 oder EP-A-0 185 216 bekannt sind. Diese sogenannten "Truckloader" grenzen mit Längswänden, Längssteg, Querstegen, Stirnwänden und Boden nach oben offene Gefache ab, in die Flaschen eingesetzt sind. Der Längssteg ist nach oben zu einem Griff mit einer Grifföffnung verlängert. Nach dem DE-GM 90 04 439 können seitlich am Griff Klappen angeordnet sein, welche Flaschenhälse aufnehmen und ein Herausfallen oder Herausnehmen einzelner Flaschen behindern. Der Zuschnitt für einen solchen Flaschenträger sowie dessen Konfektionierung sind verhältnismäßig aufwendig.Better wearing properties are given in bottle carriers, as are known from DE-PS 34 02 729 or EP-A-0 185 216. These so-called "truckloaders" delimit open compartments with longitudinal walls, longitudinal web, transverse webs, end walls and floor into which bottles are inserted. The longitudinal bar is extended up to a handle with a handle opening. According to DE-GM 90 04 439, flaps can be arranged on the side of the handle, which take up bottle necks and prevent individual bottles from falling out or being removed. The cutting for such a bottle carrier and its assembly are relatively complex.

Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Flaschenträger mit günstigen Trageigenschaften zu schaffen, der einen verhältnismäßig geringen Materialaufwand hat.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to create a bottle carrier with favorable wearing properties, which has a relatively low cost of materials.

Die Lösung der Aufgabe ist in Anspruch 1 angegeben. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen enthalten.The solution to the problem is specified in claim 1. Advantageous refinements are contained in the subclaims.

Erfindungsgemäß wird von einem Flaschenträger vom Hülltyp ausgegangen, der stramm um eine Gruppe Flaschen gelegt werden kann und diese vor Glasbruch durch heftiges Gegeneinanderstoßen schützt. Da beim Hülltyp Kartonlagen zwischen den Flaschen entfallen, ist der Materialaufwand für den Zuschnitt verhältnismäßig gering. Ohnehin wird der Materialaufwand durch das nur teilweise Umwickeln der Flaschen verringert, die mit ihren Flaschenhälsen in Aufnahmelöchern stecken. Zugleich tragen die Aufnahmelöcher zur Stabilität bei und behindern das unerwünschte Herausnehmen einzelner Flaschen. Im Unterschied zu dem bekannten Flaschenträger vom Hülltyp hat jedoch die Deckwand zwischen zwei benachbarten Deckwandhälften mit jeweils einer Reihe Aufnahmelöchern einen Griffabschnitt. Dieser besteht wiederum aus zwei Griffhälften, die gegeneinander klappbar sind und im fertigen Flaschenträger von der Deckwand nach außen zwischen die Flaschenhälse ragen. Somit kann der Flaschenträger an dem Griffabschnitt ohne Behinderung durch die Flaschenhälse bequem getragen werden. Dabei begünstigt die Anlenkung der Griffabschnitte eine günstige Kraftüberleitung in die Deckwand, so daß beim bestimmungsgemäßen Transport des Flaschenträgers keine Zerstörung der Verpackung zu besorgen ist.According to the invention, a bottle carrier of the envelope type is assumed, which can be placed tightly around a group of bottles and protects them from glass breakage by violent collision. Since there are no cardboard layers between the bottles in the wrapping type, the material expenditure for the cutting is relatively low. In any case, the material expenditure is reduced by only partially wrapping the bottles, which are inserted with their bottle necks into receiving holes. At the same time, the receiving holes contribute to stability and hinder the unwanted removal of individual bottles. In contrast to the known bottle carrier of the envelope type, however, the top wall has a grip section between two adjacent top wall halves, each with a row of receiving holes. This in turn consists of two handle halves that can be folded against each other and protrude outwards from the top wall between the bottle necks in the finished bottle carrier. Thus, the Bottle carriers can be carried comfortably on the handle section without being obstructed by the bottle necks. The articulation of the grip sections favors a favorable transfer of force into the top wall, so that the packaging is not destroyed when the bottle carrier is transported as intended.

Das Ergreifen des Flaschenträgers wird durch Grifföffnungen in den Griffhälften begünstigt, die deckungsgleich gegeneinander klappbar sind. Bevorzugt ragt der Griff über die Flaschen hinaus, so daß diese nicht mit der Hand des Trägers kollidieren. Für eine Stapelbarkeit mehrerer Flaschenträger übereinander können im Griffabschnitt Faltlinien vorgesehen sein, die einen zwischen die Flaschenhälse klappbaren freien Endabschnitt des Griffabschnittes abgrenzen. Der Abstand dieser Faltlinien von der Deckwand kann dann etwa dem Überstand der Flaschen über die Deckwand entsprechen, so daß der freie Endabschnitt einfach hochklappbar ist. Bevorzugt sind die Grifföffnungen so angeordnet, daß sie von den Faltlinien geschnitten werden.Gripping the bottle carrier is promoted by handle openings in the handle halves, which can be folded against one another in a congruent manner. The handle preferably projects beyond the bottles so that they do not collide with the hand of the wearer. For a stackability of several bottle carriers one above the other, folding lines can be provided in the handle section, which delimit a free end section of the handle section that can be folded between the bottle necks. The distance of these fold lines from the top wall can then correspond approximately to the protrusion of the bottles over the top wall, so that the free end section can simply be folded up. The handle openings are preferably arranged so that they are cut by the fold lines.

Zur Verstärkung von Deckwand und/oder Griff können Randverstärkungslaschen vorgesehen sein, die jeweils an einer Seite des Zuschnittes die einander gegenüberliegenden Deckwandhälften und/oder Griffhälften miteinander verbinden und gegen deren Innenseiten klappbar sind. Bevorzugt sind die Randverstärkungslaschen an benachbarte Bereiche von Deckwandhälften und Griffhälften gelenkt.To reinforce the top wall and / or handle, edge reinforcement tabs can be provided, each of which connects the opposing top wall halves and / or handle halves to one side of the blank and can be folded against the inside. The edge reinforcement tabs are preferably directed to adjacent regions of the top wall halves and handle halves.

In Anpassung an die Flaschenkontur können die Deckwandhälften über längsseitig zwischengelenkte Schrägwände mit den Seitenwänden verbunden sein.In adaptation to the bottle contour, the top wall halves can be connected to the side walls by means of inclined walls articulated on the longitudinal side.

Für die Flaschenentnahme können die Deckwandhälften einen von Aufreißlinien zumindest teilweise begrenzten Bereich haben, durch den nach Auftrennen der Aufreißlinien Flaschen entnehmbar sind. Die Aufreißlinien bilden einen Originalitätsverschluß, der einer unerwünschten Flaschenentnahme entgegensteht. Wenn die Aufreißlinien Seitenbereiche der Deckwand unbeeinträchtigt lassen, behält der Träger nach dem Öffnen die Hüllform bei und kann für ein Wiedereinsetzen der Flaschen nach Gebrauch verwendet werden. Dies ist der Fall, wenn die Aufreißlinien ausgehend von Mittelbereichen im Verbindungsbereich von Deckwandhälften und Seitenwänden zu den Aufnahmelöchern für Flaschenhälse und von diesen weg zum Griff geführt sind. Bevorzugt haben die Mittelbereiche der Aufreißlinien an der Verbindung von Deckwand und Seitenwänden Fingereingriffsöffnungen, die das Einbringen einer Aufreißkraft erleichtern.For bottle removal, the top wall halves can have an area at least partially delimited by tear lines, through which bottles can be removed after the tear lines have been separated. The tear lines form a tamper-evident seal that prevents unwanted bottle removal. If the tear lines leave side areas of the top wall unaffected, the carrier maintains the envelope shape after opening and can be used to reinsert the bottles after use. This is the case if the tear lines, starting from central regions in the connection region from the top wall halves and side walls, are guided to the receiving holes for bottle necks and away from them to the handle. The central regions of the tear lines preferably have finger engagement openings at the connection of the top wall and side walls, which facilitate the application of a tear force.

Für eine stirnseitige Sicherung der Flaschen im Träger und ggfs. Abdeckung von Barcode-Aufdrucken der Flaschen sind bevorzugt Stirnseitenlaschen und/oder Stirnbodenlaschen vorgesehen, die von den Seitenwänden bzw. der Bodenwand aus in Stirnöffnungen des Hüllträgers klappbar und miteinander verbindbar sind. Bevorzugt ist die Bodenwand zweiteilig ausgebildet und der Hüllträger durch Verbinden der Bodenwandabschnitte miteinander geschlossen. Natürlich ist es auch möglich, die Hüllform in einem anderen Überlappungsbereich zweier Abschnitte zu schließen. Dies kann beispielsweise im Griffbereich bei einem Zuschnitt mit voneinander getrennten Griffhälften geschehen, die miteinander verklebbar sind. Bevorzugt sind jedoch die Griffhälften mittig aneinandergelenkt und wird die Hüllform durch Verbinden von Bodenabschnitten miteinander geschlossen.For securing the bottles in the carrier on the face side and, if necessary, covering barcode prints of the bottles, face plate tabs and / or face plate tabs are preferably provided, which can be folded from the side walls or the bottom wall into face openings of the envelope carrier and connected to one another. The bottom wall is preferably formed in two parts and the envelope carrier is closed by connecting the bottom wall sections to one another. Of course, it is also possible to close the envelope shape in another overlap area of two sections. This can be done, for example, in the grip area with a cut with separate grip halves that can be glued together. However, the handle halves are preferably hinged to one another in the center and the envelope shape is closed by connecting base sections to one another.

A row of three receiving holes 10 ', 10' 'for bottle necks is arranged in each top wall half.

An beide Seiten der Deckwandhälften 9', 9'' sind Randverstärkungslaschen 11', 11'' gelenkt, die deckungsgleich zu den Randbereichen der Deckwandhälften bis zur Mitte der randseitigen Aufnahmelöcher 10', 10'' sind. Über eine Fortsetzung der seitlichen Anlenkungslinien 8', 8'' sind die Randverstärkungslaschen 11', 11'' der Deckwandhälften 9', 9'' mit Randverstärkungslaschen 12', 12'' der Griffhälften 2', 2'' verbunden, die durch eine Fortsetzung der mittleren Anlenkungslinie 3 aneinandergelenkt sind und Fortsetzungen der Faltlinien 4', 4'' aufweisen. Die Randverstärkungslaschen 12', 12'' sind nahe der seitlichen Anlenkungslinien 8', 8'' seitlich an die Griffhälften 2', 2'' gelenkt. Zwischen ihren Anlenkungen an die Griffhälften 2', 2'' sind die Randverstärkungslaschen 12', 12'' jeweils durch eine rautenförmige Ausstanzung 13 vom Griffabschnitt 2 getrennt.On both sides of the top wall halves 9 ', 9''are edge reinforcement tabs 11 ', 11''steered, which are congruent with the edge regions of the cover wall halves up to the center of the edge-side receiving holes 10', 10 ''. The edge reinforcement tabs 11 ', 11''of the top wall halves 9', 9 '' are connected to edge reinforcement tabs 12 ', 12''of the handle halves 2', 2 '' by a continuation of the lateral articulation lines 8 ', 8'' Continuation of the middle articulation line 3 are hinged together and have continuations of the fold lines 4 ', 4''. The edge reinforcement tabs 12 ', 12''are laterally directed to the handle halves 2', 2 '' near the lateral articulation lines 8 ', 8''. Between their articulations on the handle halves 2 ', 2'', the edge reinforcement tabs 12', 12 '' are each separated from the handle section 2 by a diamond-shaped punch-out 13.

An die voneinander abweisenden Längsseiten der Deckwandhälften 9', 9'' sind Schrägwände 14', 14'' gelenkt.Oblique walls 14 ', 14' 'are directed to the long sides of the top wall halves 9', 9 '' which point away from one another.

Die Schrägwände 14', 14'' haben an die andere Längsseite jeweils eine Seitenwand 15', 15'' gelenkt.The inclined walls 14 ', 14' 'have each directed a side wall 15', 15 '' to the other long side.

Im Übergangsbereich der Seitenwände 15', 15'' zu den Schrägwänden 14', 14'' sind jeweils zwei Fingereingriffsöffnungen 16', 16'' ausgebildet, die sich überwiegend in den Seitenwänden erstrecken. Zwischen den beiden Fingereingriffsöffnungen 16' und 16'' befindet sich jeweils eine Aufreißlinie mit einem Mittelbereich 17', 17'', der sich auf der Verbindungslinie von Schrägwand 14', 14'' und Seitenwand 15', 15'' erstreckt. Von den anderen Seiten der Fingereingriffsöffnungen 16', 16'' sind jeweils seitliche Abschnitte 18', 18'' der Aufreißlinien zu seitlichen Aufnahmelöchern 10', 10'' geführt. Von diametral gegenüberliegenden Seiten dieser Aufnahmelöcher 10', 10'' aus gehen Endabschnitte 19', 19'' dieser Aufreißlinien senkrecht zu den seitlichen Anlenkungslinien 8', 8''. Überdies sind Zentralabschnitte 20', 20'' der Aufreißlinien von den Mittelbereichen 17', 17'' zu den mittleren Aufnahmelöchern 10', 10'' geführt.In the transition area of the side walls 15 ', 15''to the inclined walls 14', 14 '', two finger engagement openings 16 ', 16''are formed, which are predominantly in extend the side walls. Between each of the two finger engagement openings 16 'and 16''there is a tear line with a central region 17', 17 '', which extends on the connecting line of inclined wall 14 ', 14''and side wall 15', 15 ''. Lateral sections 18 ', 18''of the tear lines are led from the other sides of the finger engagement openings 16', 16 '' to the lateral receiving holes 10 ', 10''. End sections 19 ', 19''of these tear lines extend perpendicularly to the lateral articulation lines 8', 8 '' from diametrically opposite sides of these receiving holes 10 ', 10''. In addition, central sections 20 ', 20''of the tear lines are guided from the central regions 17', 17 '' to the central receiving holes 10 ', 10''.

Die Seitenwände 15', 15'' haben an ihren Querseiten angelenkte Stirnseitenlaschen 21', 21''.The side walls 15 ', 15' 'have front side flaps 21', 21 '' articulated on their transverse sides.

An die anderen Längsseiten der Seitenwände 15', 15'' sind ein kürzerer Bodenabschnitt 22' und ein längerer Bodenabschnitt 22'' gelenkt, wobei im Anlenkungsbereich Fußöffnungen 23', 23'' für die Flaschen vorgesehen sind. An die beiden Querseiten des größeren Bodenabschnittes 22'' sind Stirnbodenlaschen 24 gelenkt.A shorter bottom section 22 'and a longer bottom section 22''are directed to the other long sides of the side walls 15', 15 '', foot openings 23 ', 23''being provided for the bottles in the articulation area. Front bottom flaps 24 are steered on the two transverse sides of the larger bottom section 22 ″.

Flach aufeinanderliegende Zuschnitte können auf Paletten gestapelt zum Anwender transportiert werden. Da keine Vorklebungen und damit verbundene Materialanhäufungen erforderlich sind, bedarf es nicht der Verpackung in Wellpappkartons.Blanks lying flat on top of each other can be stacked on pallets and transported to the user. Since no pre-gluing and the associated accumulation of material are required, packaging in corrugated cardboard boxes is not required.

Das Herumlegen des Zuschnittes um eine Gruppe Flaschen wird anhand der Fig. 2 bis 4 erläutert. Gemäß Fig. 2 werden zunächst die Randverstärkungslaschen 11', 11'' und 12', 12'' in Pfeilrichtung unter die Deckwandhälften 9', 9'' sowie die Griffhälften 2', 2'' geklappt, wobei an den einanderliegenden Stellen eine Verklebung stattfinden kann.The placing of the blank around a group of bottles is explained with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4. According to FIG. 2, the edge reinforcement tabs 11 ', 11' 'and 12', 12 '' are first folded in the direction of the arrow under the cover wall halves 9 ', 9' 'and the handle halves 2', 2 '', with gluing at the points lying opposite each other can take place.

Gemäß Fig. 3 wird danach auf die mittlere Anlenkungslinie 3 der Griffhälften 2', 2'' eine Kraft in Pfeilrichtung ausgeübt, so daß die Griffhälften gegeneinander geklappt werden. Zuvor ist auf die Innenseiten der Griffhälften 2', 2'' ein Klebstoff aufgetragen worden, so daß diese gegeneinandergeklappt miteinander verbunden werden.According to FIG. 3, a force is then exerted in the direction of the arrow on the middle articulation line 3 of the handle halves 2 ', 2' ', so that the handle halves are folded against one another. An adhesive has previously been applied to the inside of the handle halves 2 ', 2' ', so that they are joined together when folded against one another.

Dann ist der Griffabschnitt 2 zu einem Griff vorkonfektioniert, der gemäß Fig. 4 senkrecht von der angrenzenden Deckwand 9 mit den Deckwandhälften 9', 9'' absteht. Der solchermaßen vorkonfektionierte Zuschnitt 1 wird mit den Aufnahmelöchern 10', 10'' seiner Deckwand auf die Hälse einer bereitstehenden Sechser-Flaschengruppe gefädelt und in Pfeilrichtung um die Seiten und den Boden der Flaschen gewickelt.Then the handle section 2 is pre-assembled into a handle which, according to FIG. 4, protrudes perpendicularly from the adjacent top wall 9 with the top wall halves 9 ′, 9 ″. The pre-assembled blank 1 is made with the Receiving holes 10 ', 10''of its top wall threaded onto the necks of a group of six bottles ready and wrapped around the sides and bottom of the bottles in the direction of the arrow.

Die Fig. 5 zeigt den fertigen Flaschenträger, bei dem der Zuschnitt 1 die Hälse von Flaschen 25 in seiner Deckwand 9 aufnimmt, mit seinen Schrägwänden 14', 14'' im Übergangsbereich und mit seinen Seitenwänden 15', 15'' an den Flaschenseiten anliegt und die Flaschenunterseite mit seinen Bodenabschnitten 22', 22'' unterspannt. Die Bodenabschnitte 22', 22'' sind in Überlappungsbereichen miteinander verklebt, um den Flaschenträger zu schließen.Fig. 5 shows the finished bottle carrier, in which the blank 1 receives the necks of bottles 25 in its top wall 9, with its inclined walls 14 ', 14' 'in the transition area and with its side walls 15', 15 '' on the bottle sides and the bottom of the bottle with its bottom portions 22 ', 22' '. The bottom sections 22 ′, 22 ″ are glued to one another in overlap regions in order to close the bottle carrier.

Die Stirnöffnungen des um die Flaschen 25 gehüllten Zuschnittes sind durch Klappen der Stirnbodenklappen 24 und darauffolgenden Klappen der Stirnseitenlaschen 21', 21'' in die Stirnöffnungen sowie Verkleben dieser Laschen miteinander geschlossen.The front openings of the blank wrapped around the bottles 25 are closed by folding the front bottom flaps 24 and subsequent flaps of the front side flaps 21 ', 21' 'into the front openings and gluing these flaps together.

Der aus dem Griff gebildete Griffabschnitt 2 ragt senkrecht von der Deckwand 9 zwischen die Hälse der Flaschen 25. Ein Überstand des Griffabschnittes 2 über die Flaschen wird vermieden, indem sein freier Endabschnitt 7', 7'' um die Faltlinien 4', 4'' zwischen die Flaschenhälse geklappt ist. Dies ermöglicht ein Stapeln von mehreren Flaschenträgern derselben Art aufeinander.The handle section 2 formed from the handle protrudes vertically from the top wall 9 between the necks of the bottles 25. A protrusion of the handle section 2 over the bottles is avoided by its free end section 7 ', 7''around the fold lines 4', 4 '' folded between the bottle necks is. This enables several bottle carriers of the same type to be stacked on top of one another.

Soll der Flaschenträger gemäß Fig. 5 transportiert werden, muß lediglich der freie Endabschnitt 7', 7'' hochgeklappt werden, so daß eine Hand bequem in die Grifföffnungen 5', 5'' eingeführt werden kann. Für eine Flaschenentnahme sind die Aufreißlinien 17', 18', 19' und 20' ausgehend von den Fingereingriffsöffnungen 16' aufzureißen. Hierdurch wird die Deckwand 9 bzw. die Schrägwand 14' in einem Mittelbereich freigelegt, aus dem Flaschen 25 entnommen und nach Gebrauch wieder eingestellt werden können. Der Träger kann also auch zum Rücktransport von Mehrwegflaschen bzw. Einwegflaschen zu einer Glassammelstelle verwendet werden.5, only the free end section 7 ', 7' 'has to be folded up so that a hand can be inserted comfortably into the handle openings 5', 5 ''. For a bottle removal, the tear lines 17 ', 18', 19 'and 20' are to be torn open from the finger engagement openings 16 '. As a result, the top wall 9 or the inclined wall 14 'is exposed in a central region, from which bottles 25 can be removed and adjusted again after use. The carrier can therefore also be used for the return transport of reusable bottles or one-way bottles to a glass collection point.
