Abstract

Portable combination pack made of card, corrugated cardboard or similar material has a polygonal shape. The corners (2) of the polygonal shape have recesses for bottles (5). The pack has at least one divider (10) which holds the bottles (5) in a corner while leaving a distance between two neighboring bottles to create a recess for a drinking vessel (7).

Description

The invention relates to a portable combination packaging made of cardboard, Corrugated cardboard or the like for bottles and drinking vessels, the packaging has a polygonal floor plan.

Such packaging is preferred as gift packaging (DE 693357641) are provided and serve e.g. for the simultaneous packaging of high-quality, bottled wines and accompanying drinking glasses. The problem with such packaging is that in packaging packaged on the one hand relatively heavy bottles and on the other hand thin-walled glasses are, the latter being known to be easily fragile. The expenses this is partly considerable.

The object of the present invention is to provide a compact, portable combination packaging to make available a safe due to their design Protection of the glasses causes.

This object is achieved in that in the corners of the polygonal floor plan, one corner receptacle for a bottle the polygonal corners of the corners by arranging them in the corners are grouped, the spacer has a shape and size to the Bottles leaving a space between two adjacent bottles to create a drinking vessel holder for a drinking vessel between the to keep neighboring bottles in the corners and the drinking vessel receptacles in the Essentially by an angle with respect to the corner receptacle grouping are rotated polygonally grouped around a central axis, the angle in the Essentially divided by 180 ° by the number of corners of the polygonal Floor plan calculated.

This design of the combination packaging ensures that the weight heavy bottles through the side walls forming the corners and the Spacers are held. The bottles are thus separated by the spacer wedged into the corners formed by the side walls. The on this Bottles held in this way therefore pose no danger to the between the Bottles arranged glasses represent. On the other hand, the in the corners placed bottles the packaging itself more stable. The bottles thus form one stiffening element of the packaging, which is why the packaging in between the bottles arranged drinking bottles effective against external influences are protected.

Another big advantage is that due to the arrangement of the bottles and the drinking vessels as compact as possible relative to each other is given, whereby packaging material can be saved. The turned one Arrangement by a predetermined angle means, for example, that at a triangular plan, the bottles are arranged in the corners of the triangle and the drinking vessels are also placed in a triangular grouping are. The grouping of the drinking vessels is then e.g. 60 ° for grouping the bottles (with an equilateral triangle) arranged rotated. At a Arrangement of e.g. four bottles would be the polygonal arrangement of the drinking vessels placed rotated by 45 °. This relative arrangement of the bottles and Drinking vessels to each other also means that the one surrounded by the bottles Free space can be optimally filled with the drinking vessels. The number of corners of the floor plan results from its basic form (Basic shape) and should not be caused by deviations (incisions, recesses, bevelled or rounded corner areas etc.). Moreover the angle should have a certain tolerance, which is nevertheless a relative one compact arrangement of bottles and drinking vessels guaranteed. On this The field of packaging technology includes angle information regarding the arrangement of products to be absorbed naturally generous.

There are already, as described in DE 8410476 U1, packaging which bottles are arranged as compact as possible. However, it does happen this really only on the compactness, so that no between the bottles More space is provided by the spacer for the arrangement of Drinking vessels would be suitable. The described in this known publication Packaging is therefore not suitable for combination packaging.

It has turned out to be particularly advantageous if the packaging has a Mainly triangular floor plan to hold three bottles each each has three drinking vessels. This type of floor plan leads to a special one secure wedging of the bottles arranged in the corners, as these from enclosed the side walls over a larger part of their circumference and thus be held.

In this context it is also favorable if the packaging side walls with a height that is greater than the height of the drinking vessels but lower than the height of the bottles is The bottle necks protrude from the packaging out and are therefore visible. The consumer immediately recognizes that it is a packaging with a sensitive content that is to be handled with some caution.

It has turned out to be particularly favorable if the packaging has a Has lid, the cutouts for at least the bottle necks in the region of the corners having. The lid not only protects those housed in the packaging Drinking vessels but also acts as a spacer for the bottles, who pushes them into the corners and there securely into the neighboring two Side walls formed, converging space. The bottlenecks then protrude through the recesses.

In this context, it is particularly advantageous if the recesses of the lid have a shape and size that is approximately the diameter of a Bottle neck match. So the lid not only serves as a spacer, who pushes the bottles into the corners; the lid does much more also that the bottles do not slide up out of the packaging can. This is due to the fact that the bottles are usually below the Bottle neck have a larger diameter.

The handling of the packaging is further simplified in that the Lid is firmly connected to the side walls and has a handle. The lid can be glued to the side walls or in a conventional manner also be stuck. In any case, the handle attached to the lid allows that the entire packaging is easy by the consumer can be worn.

It is also advantageous if a spacer is provided for the drinking vessels can be placed as a separate cut on the top of the drinking vessels and to the corners of the packaging have flaps that can be bent down, which, when packaged, faces the inside of the packaging Create the wall of a bottle. On the one hand, these tabs prevent that the glasses and bottles touch each other directly this spacer also enables the placement of drinking vessels are considerably lower than the height of the side walls.

There is also the possibility that a spacer with a polygonal floor plan is provided, due to its shape and size as a separate blank can be inserted between the bottles and at the corners of the The packaging has side edges that bend upwards, that can be placed on the inside of the packaging wall of the bottle are. This spacer can be inserted before inserting the drinking vessels so that protection is provided by the tabs when setting the drinking vessels are present in the packaging. The drinking vessels are standing then on the bottom of the spacer while the tabs are between the drinking vessels and the bottles are arranged.

So that the drinking vessels are kept at a distance from each other and thus protected a further spacer can be provided for the drinking vessels be due to its shape and size as a separate cut between the drinking vessels can be inserted and one wall between two k-ring vessels trains. Such a spacer can be designed like a star be, the gaps between the stars each to accommodate a Serve the drinking vessel. In addition, there is also the possibility of this further Spacer with the spacer that is between the bottles and Drinking vessels arranged tabs to connect, so that a kind Tray is formed with a handle for the drinking vessels and this together with the Spacers can be inserted into the packaging or removed.

It has also proven to be advantageous if the essentially polygonal Floor plan has cut (beveled) or rounded corners, where the width of the cut or rounded corners about a third up to half of a bottle diameter. This will make the bottle not only held by two side walls, but also by a third, namely supports the cut-off or rounded corner side wall. This formation of the polygonal floor plan ensures an increase in Stability of the packaging and for an even better anchoring of the bottles in the packaging.

Finally, the invention also provides that the side walls have openings have, which are adapted to the shape of the drinking vessels. This gives the Consumers have the opportunity to recognize the contents of the packaging, in particular the view of the drinking vessels can be cleared without them the breakthroughs can fall out.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a combination packaging according to one of claims 1 to 11, filled with arranged in the corner receptacles Bottles and with drinking vessels arranged in the drinking vessel receptacles. A such a combination that can be used for gift packages is ideal for representative purposes, because in addition to their successful design is also relatively compact and can thus be produced in a material-saving manner.

The following is an embodiment of the invention with reference to a drawing explained.

The portable combination packaging 1 shown in the drawing has one essentially triangular plan, with the corners 2 of the Floor plan are cut off. Strictly speaking, this choice of floor plan creates a hexagonal body with long side walls 3 and the cut short corners forming short side walls 4. However, this created from a triangular base shape.

As can be seen better from FIG. 4, the combination packaging 1 forms in the area the corners 2 receptacles for wine bottles 5 by a spacer 6 in the by a small side wall 4 and two adjacent long Side walls 3 formed corners 2 of the combination packaging are held.

The wine bottles 5 are kept at a distance so that between two neighboring wine bottles 5 place for the accommodation of a drinking vessel 7, here of a wine glass. The spacer 6 shown in more detail in FIG. 3 has tabs 8. These tabs are in the transport position shown in FIG. 4 bent upwards and thus offer protection against contact between the wine glasses 7 and the bottles 5. The drinking vessels 7 stand on the floor the spacer 6.

The long side walls 3 of the combination packaging 1 have visible openings 9, which give a view of the wine glasses arranged behind.

The combination packaging is on the top by one with the side walls connected lid 10 closed. This lid points in the area of the corners 2 of the combination packaging recesses 11, which the Correspond to the diameter of the bottle necks. In this way, the Wine bottles 5 also in the vertical direction between the lid 10 and the Bottom 12 of the packaging fixed. In addition, the lid 10 also has one Handle 13 with which the filled combination packaging can be carried comfortably leaves.

As shown in FIG. 2, which shows the blank for combination packaging 1 can be removed, the side walls are connected by an adhesive tab 14. The Floor 12 is designed as a so-called automatic floor and has three tabs for this purpose 12 ', 12' 'and 12' '', which are also connected via an adhesive flap. On such automatic floor is already in connection with other packaging known.

The lid itself is made by plugging together different lid tabs 10 ', 10' 'and 10' '' formed, the handle 13 on a lower tab 10 '' is attached and extends through a recess in the cover tab 10 '.

The fixing of the cover flap 10 'takes place via two insertion flaps 16 which are in the view openings 9 can be folded in, and there when train on the Hook lid tab 10 '.

The blank shown in FIG. 2 is first made using the adhesive tabs 14 and 15 prefabricated. In this condition, the packaging box can be laid flat save space.

The flat folded carton is set up for filling, with the automatic base automatically assumes a triangular shape in the floor plan (see Fig. 4). The bottles 5 are then placed in the corresponding container in the container thus formed Corner shots and placed on the automatic floor. After that the spacer 6 is inserted between the bottles 5, the tabs 8 be turned upwards. As a result, the spacer 6 is under tension in the container and the tabs 8 lie on an area of Outside of the bottles 5. Below are the wine glasses on the spacer 6 set up, which in turn in the drinking vessel receptacles (Distance between two bottles 5) can be arranged.

Both the bottles 5 and the drinking vessels 7 each have a triangular shape Grouping on. However, the groupings are at an angle β (see also Fig. 5) rotated against each other. This means that a drinking vessel 7 is arranged substantially centrally to a side wall 3.

, 10 und 10 eingefaltet, wonach der Tragegriff 13 durch den Durchbruch in der Deckellasche 10 hindurchgezogen wird. Die Einhaklaschen 16 werden dann in die Sichtdurchbrüche 9 eingeschlagen und verhaken sich dort. Die Flaschenhälse befinden sich dann im Bereich der Aussparungen 11.Finally, another spacer 17 is inserted between the drinking vessels 7 from above. The spacer 17 consists of a one-piece cardboard blank and has a star shape. As a result, two single-layer side walls 18 and a double-layer side wall 19 are formed. This further spacer 17 prevents the drinking vessels 7 from coming into contact with one another. The spacer preferably extends over the majority of the height of the drinking vessels 7. So that the bottles 5 are also properly positioned in their corner receptacles, the lid flaps 10

, 10th and 10 folded in, after which the handle 13 through the opening in the lid flap 10th is pulled through. The hooking tabs 16 are then hammered into the view openings 9 and get caught there. The bottle necks are then in the area of the cutouts 11.

Now the filled combination packaging can be transported on the handle 13 become.

There is also the possibility that the further spacer 17th and the spacer 6 are connected to one another, so that a kind training with which the drinking vessels 7 together between the wrong people 5 used or can be removed from this area. To do this the spacer 17 and pulls it up or pushes it downward. The spacer 6 attached to it then follows accordingly and raises or lowers the drinking vessels 7.

FIG. 5 again shows an example of the arrangement of three bottles 5 and three assigned drinking vessels 7. Both the bottles 5 and the drinking vessels 7 are each grouped polygonally (triangular in this case). The Grouping of the bottles 5 is, however, regarding the grouping of the drinking vessels 7 rotated by the angle β. The angle β is calculated from 180 ° divided by the number of corners 2 of the packaging. In the present case three corners 2 are present, so that there is a value for the angle β of 60 °.

In the arrangement of four bottles 5 and four drinking vessels 7, as shown in Fig. 6 is the square grouping of the bottles 5 to the square Grouping of the drinking vessels 7 also arranged rotated by the angle β. In this variant, this means that the angle β is 45 ° (there are four corners 2 available). In the variant according to FIG. 6, there is also the possibility of the drinking vessels a little further out with a more generous grouping to be arranged so that there is another in the center of the drinking vessel grouping another bottle 5 can be arranged.

These arrangement variants described above ensure a very compact Arrangement form, with high stability due to the in the corners placed bottles 5 is achieved.
