EP1749755B1 - Blank for manufacturing a bottle wrapper and a thereby manufactured wrapper - Google Patents

Abstract

The carrier blank (1) has a cover (8) with pairs of circular cutouts (2,3) esp. for fixing porcelain cliplock closures of bottles. The cutouts are larger by a max.2mm than the top of the closures. The flat cover sections (9,10) have upper bracket cutouts (4,5) and contour line bracket cutouts (4a,5a). The blank also has side parts (11,12) and angled base parts (13,14) with cutouts (6,7) for bottle bottoms. Base parts (15,16) are glued to each other via a small overlap. The package encloses the bottles safely independent of the position of the bottles.

Description

The invention relates to a blank of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1 and an all-around package produced therewith.

In particular, three variants have become known for packaging bottles in formations of usually two to six pieces. A first variant, which is also called "neck-through" packaging, is characterized in that the bottles are packaged only up to their neck areas passing into the neck, while the entire neck remains free (eg. US Pat. No. 3,519,127 . US 5 022 525 . US Pat. No. 6,527,108 B1 ). Although such packages are suitable for bottles with any closure elements, but are not very stable, offer only a small advertising space and have no grip od. Like. For transport. In a second variant, the packages are designed so that only the upper, provided with the closure elements neck portions protrude from the package. As a result, on the one hand, a larger advertising space is achieved. On the other hand, these packages od with handle openings. Like. Be provided to facilitate their transport. In this case, the required stability of the packaging when wearing is achieved in that its ceiling parts, which are penetrated by the closure elements openings have, are provided with elements which engage after placing the packaging on the bottles from below under the closure elements. This ensures that the ceiling parts are not pulled over the closure elements during transport (eg. US Pat. No. 3,493,261 . US 4,533,047 ). To date, blanks according to a third variant or of the type described at the outset have proved to be particularly expedient, which serve for the production of so-called wrap-around or wrap-around packaging, by means of which a bottle formation of, for example, can be obtained. B. two to six bottles is wrapped around (eg. EP 0 901 969 B1 ). In addition to a large advertising space produced from such blanks packages offer above all the advantage of high stability, as they nestle all around the bottle shape and therefore the bottles tightly and tightly enclose on all sides. Since in them the closure elements are covered from above by cover sections, results in the machine packaging, the problem that the blanks are not easily taken after laying on the formed bottle formation or at least easily slip when the bottle formation to the next station of the Packaging machine is transported.

It is therefore also already known to provide the adjacent to the ceiling parts roof parts of the blanks with small, narrow-sized recesses, in which the closure elements partially occur after folding the blanks and thereby allow safe transport of the blanks in the further course of the packaging process. In addition, numerous measures in the form of pivotable, adjacent to the recesses tabs od. The like. Known that allow for bottles with slightly varying sizes tolerance compensation, without affecting the tight wrapping the bottle formation. In addition, such measures may serve the purpose of accommodating beads, support rings or similar parts formed on the bottlenecks (eg. EP 1 334 043 B1 . FR 2 638 720 A1 . US 4,101,069 ).

The blanks of the second and third variants have the disadvantage that they are only for packaging bottles with symmetrical closures, in particular crown caps, Screw caps od. Like. Are suitable. In contrast, such blanks are not suitable for the packaging of bottles, the closure elements have closure heads and attached thereto closure parts, which are arranged asymmetrically to the bottle axes, ie not rotationally symmetrical and projecting radially beyond the closure heads and the bottlenecks. The main reason for this is the fact that the bottles occupy different rotational positions when they are supplied to a packaging machine, so that the unbalanced closure parts are arranged differently, making a close and solid investment of the packaging on the bottles virtually impossible. It would be conceivable, however, to arrange the bottles before entering the packaging station so that they all occupy the same rotational position and the unbalanced closure elements all point in the same direction. However, such an alignment process is not possible when using modern, fast-running packaging machines for technical and practical reasons.

document WO 02/34639 discloses all features of the preamble of claim 1.

Proceeding from this, the present invention seeks to form the blank of the type described above so that it is suitable without alignment for tight, tight enclosing bottles with unbalanced closure elements, especially bottles with buckles.

To solve this problem, the characterizing features of claim 1.

The invention solves the technical problem described in that on the one hand the ceiling part is provided with driving openings, which receive the closure heads of the bottles. As a result, the closure heads can occur at the first application of the blank on the bottles regardless of their current rotational position in driving openings, whereby the blank is coupled with the bottles and taken in the further transport without further notice. On the other hand, roof parts of the blanks are provided with recesses, which are designed so that the bottles occupy any rotational position and enter the unbalanced closure parts as needed in the recesses and radially from the blank after can protrude outside without touching the blank. This ensures that the unbalanced closure parts regardless of which rotational position the bottles occupy in an individual case, do not hinder the desired tight envelope of the bottles with the other parts of the blank. The functions of centering or entrainment of the blanks by the bottles on the one hand and the adaptation to any position of the asymmetrical closure parts on the other hand are separated from each other in the blank according to the invention and can therefore be optimized independently of each other.

Further advantageous features of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

The invention also relates to an all-round packaging produced for bottles with asymmetrical closure parts, in particular for shackle closure bottles, produced with the blank according to the invention.

Fig. 1 to 14 show a first Ausführungsbeipiel a one-piece blank 1 according to the invention for the production of a wrap-around packaging for Bügelverschlußflaschen. The blank 1 is shown in a flat, unfolded state, ie essentially as it comes from a corresponding punching device during manufacture. To produce the blank 1, a kraft cardboard od. Like. With a grammage used, which depends on the number and weight of the packaged strap closure bottles z. B. 400 g / sqm to 425 g / sqm can be. As Fig. 1 and 2 show, the blank 1 consists of a basic element with an overall substantially rectangular outer contour, which is formed by two long, parallel to a longitudinal axis 2 extending side edges 3a, 3b and two perpendicular thereto extending side edges 4a, 4b.

The primitive is according to Fig. 1 and 2 divided into a plurality of segments and in particular includes a middle ceiling part 5, a in Fig. 1 to the left, the first roof part 6 and an in Fig. 2 right from the ceiling part 5 lying, second roof part 7. In Fig. 1 close to the left a first side part 8 and then a first bottom part 9, to the right a second side part 10 and then a second bottom part 11 at. All of these parts have substantially rectangular peripheral contours and are arranged side by side in the direction of the longitudinal axis 2, that their long sides are substantially perpendicular and their short sides are arranged substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis 2.

The parts 5 to 11 are separated by preferably substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 2, imaginary folding lines, which are already attached to facilitate the folding of the various parts explained below during punching and, depending on the purpose of embossing, grooves, combined creasing / cutting Lines od. Like. May exist. In particular, between the cover part 5 and the two roof parts 6, 7 each have a first fold line 12 and 14, between the roof parts 6, 7 and the side parts 8 and 10 each have a second fold line 15 and 16 and between the side parts 8, 10 and the bottom parts 9, 11 each provided a third fold line 17 and 18 respectively. Finally, the two floor parts 9 and 11 may be divided into two parallel to the longitudinal axis 2 adjacent floor sections 9a, 9b and 11a, 11b, which are preferably separated by perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 2 extending fourth, also in the punching process attached fold lines 19 and 20 ,

Fig. 3 shows two bottles 21, which are provided with closure elements 22 in the form of clip closures. The closure elements 22 have in known manner, inter alia, one, usually made of porcelain, provided with a rubber seal Locking head 23 and a closure member 24 connected thereto in the form of a bracket. This closure member 24 has usually two lateral portions 24a and 24b, which is a straight, substantially parallel to the bottle axis, but also a slightly curved, z. B. convex outwardly arched shape, are pivotally connected at upper, angled ends 24c with the closure heads 23 and at their lower ends another, they have connecting bracket portion 24d, which is pivotally mounted in recesses of the bottle neck. Ironing closures of this type and their parts are well known and therefore need not be explained in detail. For the purposes of the present invention, on the one hand, it is essential that the closure elements 22, in contrast to conventional crown corks, screw caps or the like, are arranged asymmetrically with respect to the bottle axes, by which is meant, in particular, a lack of rotational symmetry about the bottle axis. This means that the closure elements 22 constantly change their position when rotating the bottles 21 about their axes of rotation. This is z. In Fig. 3 for two bottles 21 and 21a shown. In the case of the bottle 21, the strap portions 24a, 24b are substantially in a plane that is the plane of the drawing. In the bottle 21a, which occupies a position rotated by approximately 90 ° relative to the bottle 21, the same bracket sections 24a, 24b, on the other hand, lie substantially in a plane which is perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. On the other hand, it is important that at least the strap sections 24a and 24b, as can be seen in particular in the case of the bottle 21, protrude outward radially beyond the peripheral surfaces of the closure head 23 and the neck of the bottle, projecting radially far beyond an imaginary cone surface. which connects the outer contour of a bottle mouth 25 with the outer contour of a bottle shoulder 26. However, the strap portions 24, 24b are radially within that, substantially cylindrical contour, which have arranged below the shoulders 26, the largest cross-sections having bottle body.

As Fig. 1 and 2 further show, the cover part 5 of the blank 1 in the exemplary embodiment has two, preferably parallel to the first fold lines 12, 14 extending rows of several, here three entrainment openings 27. These serve for receiving the mostly circular closure heads 23 (FIG. Fig. 3 ) and therefore, like these, have expediently circular boundary lines 28. The diameter of the driving openings 27 are preferably only a little, a maximum of z. B. by 2 mm to 3 mm larger than the largest diameter of the usually somewhat conical breech block 23. Moreover, the driving openings 27 are arranged here in such a distribution, as the position of the closure heads 23 in a formation of 2 x 3 arranged on impact bottles 21 corresponds, as explained further below. Therefore, the blank 1 after Fig. 1 and 2 to initiate a packaging process in the Fig. 3 be seen manner from the top so placed on the respective bottle formation that the closure heads 23 enter the driving openings 27 and the blank 1 therefore, when the bottle formation is transported to another packaging station, be automatically taken.

The driving openings 27 are each arranged in an imaginary cover portion of the ceiling part 5, wherein in the embodiment 6 such imaginary cover sections are present. Due to the formation of the entrainment openings 27 remain of these Abdeckabschnitten on the sides of the respective fold lines 12, 14 only each narrow, partially annular shaped edge zones 29 are. The roof parts 6 and 7 each have a recess 30 in their regions adjoining these edge zones 29. In this case, the edge zones 29 expediently extend at least partially beyond the fold lines 12, 14 into the relevant roof parts 6, 7 or recesses 30, such as Fig. 1 and 2 clearly show, and end in preferably part-circular outlines 29a. The width of the edge zones 29 is, for example, about 6 mm to 12 mm so that they do not tear during transport of the bottles 1 packed with the blank 1. Due to this design of the ceiling part 5, the fold lines 12, 14 according to Fig. 1 and 2 each interrupted in the region of the driving openings 27 by the edge zones 29 and their outlines 29a.

The edge zones 29 serve the purpose, as explained in more detail below, to hang on the upper, angled ends 24c of the closure members 24 when they are in a position that in Fig. 3 for the bottle 21 is shown. On the other hand the recesses 30 have the task to accommodate the strap sections 24a, 24b in themselves, when the bottles 21 from the in Fig. 3 left position shown in the position shown on the right or any intermediate position between these two extreme positions are rotated. This is further explained below. In order to accomplish this task, the recesses 30 have a height parallel to the longitudinal axis 2 which corresponds at least to the length of the stirrup portions 24a, 24b between the articulation points of the portions 24c on the bottles and the stirrup portions 24d. For example, if the length of the sections 24a, 24b is about 50 mm, as is the case for 0.33 1 and 0.5 1 strap bottles 21 commonly available on the market, then the recesses 30 should have a height of slightly more than 50 mm to z. B. about 55 mm. The width of the recesses 30, which is measured perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 2, results in this case from the radius of the cylindrical surface which describes the strap sections 24a, 24b when the bottles 21 are rotated through 360 °. In the embodiment, a width of z. B. about 35 mm to 45 mm proved to be appropriate, said width can vary from top to bottom according to the existing in each case form of the closure members 24. In addition, the recesses 30 should not be too wide so that between them sufficiently wide web portions 31 (FIGS. Fig. 1 ) stop.

The roof parts 6, 7 have parallel to the longitudinal axis 2 a height which is substantially equal to the distance of the bottle mouth 25 (FIG. Fig. 3 ) corresponds to the bottle shoulder 26, while the side parts 8, 10 in the same direction have a height which is substantially equal to the distance of the bottle shoulder 26 of floors 32 (FIG. Fig. 3 ) of the bottles 21 and the height of usually substantially cylindrical bottle bodies 33 in the lower region of the bottle 21 corresponds. It is particularly useful, however, the side parts 8, 10 form a little less high and instead the bottom parts 9, 11 by means of the bottom part sections 9a, 9b and 11a, 11b in two parts form. The bottom part sections 9b, 11b serve the purpose of creating the bottle bottoms 32. In contrast, the bottom part sections 9a, 11a are respectively where transition sections 34 (FIG. Fig. 3 ) are arranged between the bottle bodies 33 and the bottoms 32, provided with punched 35. These serve the purpose partially accommodate the transitional portions 34 of the bottles 21 in the production of the wrap-around packaging.

The production of a tight-fitting wrap-around packaging with the help of the blank 1 results essentially from Fig. 3 to 14 ,

In a first station of a packaging machine, the blanks 1 are manually or mechanically placed on the previously formed bottle formation of six bottles 21 ( Fig. 3 ), wherein the closure heads 23 as described enter into the driving openings 27. Depending on which rotational position the bottles 21 assume, either the edge zones 29 (FIG. Fig. 3 , right) or located between the driving openings 27 webs 36 ( Fig. 1 and 2 ) of the ceiling part 5 ( Fig. 3 , left) on the strap sections 24c.

In a next method section, the blank 1 is folded down about the folding lines 12, 14 ( Fig. 4 ). The positions or distances of the fold lines 12, 14 are chosen from one another so that the roof parts 6, 7 are folded roof-shaped down very close to the bottle mouths 25, while the edge zones 29 protrude slightly outward.

As Fig. 4 clearly shows, it does not matter which rotational position the bottles 21 occupy. Is a bottle 21 in the in Fig. 4 shown right, the right-side bracket portion 24b passes through the recess 30 located there radially outward, preferably without any contact with the right roof part 7, so that its desired skew, which is determined by the bottle shoulder 26 is not affected. The other bracket portion 24a projects in this case inwardly into the space between the two adjacent bottle necks, without hindering the production of the packaging. On the other hand, is a bottle 21 in a rotational position, as in Fig. 4 on the left for the bottle 21a, then the strap sections 24a, 24b are on the one hand all defined in the through the mouths 25 and the shoulders 26 Space between the two roof sections 6 and 7, on the other hand in the direction of the fold lines 12, 14 in the space between the necks of two consecutively arranged bottles 21, so that they can not affect the inclination of the roof part 6 also. Similar conditions arise at any other rotational position of the bottles 21, because the perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 2 measured width of the recesses 29 is particularly preferably chosen so large that the bracket sections 24a, 24b in no rotational position of the bottle 21 from the inside against one of the roof parts. 6 or 7 can lay. Thus, the densest possible investment of the roof parts 6, 7 are made to the bottles 21, in particular when in a particularly preferred embodiment, the distance of the fold lines 12, 14 from each other in wesentichen corresponds to the distance, by the roof parts 6, 7 facing boundaries of Mitnahmeöffnungen 27 is given as Fig. 1 shows. The roof parts 6, 7 form here with the ceiling part 5 preferably angle of about 75 ° to 85 °.

In a next process step ( Fig. 5 ) are side parts 8, 10 to the folding lines 15 and 16, which come to lie substantially at the bottle shoulders 26, folded down or od by means of Andrückschienen. Like. Pressed from the outside against the cylindrical bottle body 33 so that they are the bottle bodies 33 snuggle up.

Thereafter, first of all, the bottom part sections 9a, 11a are pivoted inward by approximately 45 ° and around the fold lines 17, 18 ( Fig. 6 ), wherein the transition sections 34 of the bottles 21 enter into associated cutouts 35 of the bottom sections 9a, 11a and thereby centered in the package to be produced. Of course, the cutouts 35 are aligned with the entrainment openings 27 in such a way that all six bottles 21 come to stand straight and preferably with impact in the packaging. At the same time, the punches 35 enable the bottles 21 to be tightly enclosed even where the transitional regions 34 are located. Finally, with suitable dimensions of the blank parts described, the punch-outs 35 also allow the side and roof parts 8, 10 or 6, 7 of the blank to be used in the last process step, the application of the bottom part sections 9b, 11b to the bottle bottoms 32, are pulled slightly downwards to thereby press the edge zones 29 firmly around the remaining sections of the cover part 5 against the strap sections 24c or the bottles 21 firmly between the ceiling part 5 and the bottom sections 9b, 11b to brace. This tight clamping will take place after completion of the wrap-around packaging ( Fig. 6 ) is not significantly affected even if the upper cover part 5 at central handle holes 37 ( FIGS. 7 and 8 ) and lifted to transport the packaged bottle formation. This will cause unintentional falling out of the side edges 3a and 3b (FIG. Fig. 1 ) adjacent bottles 21 of the formation even then safely avoided if the driving holes 27 have slightly larger cross-sections than the closure heads 23, because the cover part 5 can not be raised above the closure heads 23 due to the described tight envelope.

Moreover, the fixation of the packaging takes place in her Fig. 6 to 8 apparent state in that the two bottom portions 9b and 11b, which come to rest with a slight overlap at the bottom of the package, with a previously applied to the bottom portion 11b and in part Fig. 1 indicated by crosses adhesive or glue layer 11c (see also Fig. 6 ) are firmly connected. It is useful in Fig. 6 Lower bottom portion 11 b pressed with sufficient pressure against the bottom portion 9 b and the bottle bottoms 32 until the adhesive layer 11 c is sufficiently hardened.

Fig. 9 shows in a side view of the finished wrap-around the three consecutive on one side of the bottle formation bottles 21b, 21c and 21d. It can be seen that the strap sections 24a, 24b can either at least partially protrude through the relevant recess 30 (bottles 21b, 21d) or essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 2 due to the randomly resulting orientation. Fig. 1 ) of the blank 1 and therefore are not critical, which is true for the bottle 21c. Show accordingly 10 to 12 Looking at the open end faces of the packaging, that the strap sections 24a, 24b are at random resulting rotational positions of the bottles at least partially protrude through the recesses 30 ( Fig. 10 and 12 ), at the rotational positions Fig. 11 on the other hand, remain completely within the space bounded by the roof parts 6, 7. The all-round packaging according to the invention therefore makes possible a firm enclosure of the entire bottle formations despite any rotational positions of the bottles 21.

The size and shape of the recesses 30, which with their lateral edges 30a (FIG. Fig. 1 ) to the first fold lines 12 and 14, depending on the respective bottle shape and bottle size (eg 0.33 1, 0.5 1) and the existing in each case bow shape and size hang and therefore can not in absolute dimensions be specified for any swing top bottles. Due to the above description, however, it is easily possible to adapt the design of the recesses 30 to any conceivable application.

Fig. 13 shows a blank 1 after Fig. 1 and 2 in a slightly different embodiment. While according to Fig. 1 and 2 the two bottom part sections 9b and 11b parallel to the longitudinal axis 2 have substantially the same width is the blank 1 of Fig. 13 the bottom portion portion 9b wider than the bottom portion portion 11b. Preferably, the width of the bottom portion 9b is substantially the same as in FIG Fig. 6 indicated total width b of the finished packaging bottom between the two fold lines 19 and 20. In addition, the bottom portion 9 b is provided with two holes 38 which are arranged in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis 2 series. Finally, the other bottom portion 11b is so narrow that the holes 38 in the analogous to Fig. 6 successful connection of the two bottom sections 9b and 11b remain free. Alternatively, however, the bottom portion 11b could also be as wide as the bottom portion 9b and also have holes that come to lie in the finished state of the package coaxially on the holes 38.

The blanks after Fig. 13 serve for the production of wrap-around packaging, which can be stored in so-called "pinole boxes" (eg DE 296 13 814 U1 ) can be adjusted. The packages are doing with the holes 38 on the quills or Pinolendorne attached to the lock box and lowered to this, until they rest on the bottoms of the Pinolenkästen. The holes 38 are therefore located at locations of the bottom portion 9b which are separated from the bottle bottoms 32 (FIG. Fig. 6 ) stay free and z. B. come to rest below the handle holes 37. It is clear that the number, the location, the shape and / or the size of the holes 38 in dependence on the sleeves of the respective Quill Boxes is to be selected.

In a further modification of the embodiment according to Fig. 1 to 12 the blank 1 is additionally provided with a grip handle 39 replacing the grip holes 37. For this purpose, the blank 1 after Fig. 14 and 15 a ceiling part 5 with two ceiling sections 5a, 5b and two arranged between these handle portions 39a, 39b. The two handle portions 39a, 39b are connected to each other along a substantially vertically to the longitudinal axis 2 extending fifth fold line 40 and suitably formed mirror-symmetrical to this fold line 40. In addition, the ceiling portion 5a is along a sixth fold line 41 with the handle portion 39a and the ceiling portion 39b along a seventh fold line 42 connected to the handle portion 39b, wherein the two fold lines 41, 42 are parallel to the fold line 40 extends. The two grip portions 39a and 39b are also provided with grip holes 43. For the rest show Fig. 14 and 15 in that the two cover part sections 5a, 5b each comprise a row of Fig. 1 have apparent driving openings 27.

The remaining parts of the blank after FIGS. 14 to 19 correspond to those of the blank 1 after Fig. 1 to 12 ,

The production of an all-round packaging with the cut to Fig. 14 and 15 begins with at least one of the two handle portions 39a, 39b is coated on its back with an adhesive. Thereafter, the two handle portions 39a, 39b are folded up about the sixth and seventh fold lines 41, 42, wherein the fold lines 41, 42 are simultaneously approached until they touch and thereby the two handle portions 39a, 39b with their backs lie one another and are folded over by 180 ° about the fifth fold line 40. After curing of the adhesive, the handle portions 39a, 39b are firmly connected to each other to the carrying handle 39, so that the blank 1, the Fig. 16 apparent form.

The further method steps correspond to those already described with reference to Fig. 1 to 12 were explained. As a result, a tight-fitting wrap-around with handle 39 is then obtained ( 17 to 19 ), wherein the carrying handle 39 projects upwards beyond the ceiling part 5 ( Fig. 19 ). However, the carrying handle 39 can also be placed flat on the cover part 5 so as not to hinder the stacking of the packages ( Fig. 17 ).

Fig. 20 Finally shows a further variant of the blank 1. In this case, the bottom portions 9b, 11b of a blank, according to FIGS. 14 to 19 is provided with the carrying handle 39, accordingly Fig. 13 formed, that is provided in particular with the holes 38 for receiving the sleeves of Quillers.

While Fig. 1 to 20 Blanks with open recesses 30 for the closure parts 24 show, will be described below with reference to Fig. 21 to 25 an embodiment of a blank 1a described in which the recesses 30 corresponding, defined by contour lines 44 recesses 45 are provided, as in Fig. 21 and 22 is indicated by a partially broken representation in the region of contour lines 44a. However, these recesses 45 are partially hidden. This ensures that the strap sections 24a, 24b of the packaged bottles 21 are for the most part not visible. Since the blanks 1 a substantially equal to the blanks 1 except for the partially concealed recesses 45, the same reference numerals as in FIG Fig. 1 to 20 used.

In particular Fig. 21 and 22 show, the roof parts 6 and 7, where the edge zones 29 of the cover part 5 are arranged, each have a limited by the contour line 44 and 44a recess 45, the outline 44, 44a a Has course, which is essentially the course of the contours of the recesses 30 in Fig. 1 and 2 equivalent. In particular, the contour lines 44 (or 44a) adjoin the first fold lines 12, 14 and the edge zones 29 of these interrupting the imaginary covering sections of the ceiling part 5 which have the entrainment openings 27. In contrast to Fig. 1 and 2 but are only comparatively small, in Fig. 22 hatched shown and bordering on the edge zones 29 sections 45a of the recesses 45 actually open, while in the other, more deeply located in the roof parts 6, 7 parts of these recesses 45 two tabs 47 and 48 are arranged. These tabs 47, 48 are preferably along Ritz / Falt-lines 49 connected to each other, the blank material is not complete, but in part, z. B. prevail up to half, thereby allowing easy pivoting of the tabs 47, 48 relative to each other. In addition, the scribe / fold lines 49 are parallel to the longitudinal axis 2 extends and preferably arranged so that the two tabs 47, 48 are formed mirror-symmetrically to her.

The circumferential lines 44 are preferably punched lines, which pass through the blank material over its entire thickness. So that the tabs 47, 48 do not fall out of the defined by the contour lines 44 recesses 45 due to this training, they are on both sides of the scribe / fold lines 49 along each a short, preferably designed as a fold line, in Fig. 21 connected to a thick line connecting line 50 hingedly connected to the adjacent areas of the roof parts 6, 7. As a result of this arrangement, it is possible to push the tabs 47, 48 perpendicular to the broad sides of the blank 1a from the blanking plane, wherein the two tabs 47, 48 in particular convex outwardly bulge and are held only by the connecting lines 50, since the contour lines 45 are punched through in the other areas. The scribe / fold lines 49 enable buckling even with comparatively small acting forces.

For the size and shape of the bounded by the contour lines 44 recesses 45 apply the same considerations as for the basis of the Fig. 1 to 12 described recesses 30. The open parts 45a of the recesses 45 can thereby relative kept small. They serve, in particular, the purpose of, on the one hand, allowing folding of the roof parts 6, 7 around the fold lines 12, 14, and, on the other hand, leaving the edge zones 29 in the plane of the ceiling part 5, in particular Fig. 23 and 25 demonstrate.

The various process steps for the production of a bottle 21 tightly enveloping all-round packaging accordingly Fig. 23 are the same as the ones above Fig. 1 to 12 described so that repetitions directed to it can be avoided. It should be noted in this context only that FIGS. 23 to 25 analogous to 8 to 12 recognize that the bottles 21 can take any rotational position in the enveloped by the wrap-around formation any form and that the closure parts 24 occur only through the recess parts 45 a to the outside or visible, while in the lower, hidden recess parts possibly the Lugs 47, 48 bulge outward. The sizes and shapes of the limited by the contour lines 44 recesses 45 are generally designed substantially as above with reference to the Fig. 1 to 12 is indicated for the recesses 30. This makes it possible to arrange the bottles 21 with any relative rotational positions in the 6-unit formation, without the closure parts 24 pointing in any direction hindering the formation of a tight all-round packaging.

Fig. 26 shows that the blank 1a after Fig. 21 to 25 by appropriate change of its bottom portions 9b and 11b can be provided with the holes 38 for sleeves. For this purpose, the same changes are sufficient, as in the embodiment according to Fig. 13 in comparison to the embodiment according to Fig. 1 were made.

The blank 1a after Fig. 21 to 25 can be analogous to FIGS. 14 to 19 be provided with the handle 39. Is in Fig. 27 hinted at by Fig. 21 only differs in that the ceiling part 5 analogous to Fig. 14 is divided into two spaced ceiling sections 5a, 5b, between which two around the fold lines 40, 41 and 42 foldable handle portions 39a, 39b are arranged. Since this is the blank 1a after Fig. 21 The changes to be made are comparable to those described above on the basis of FIGS. 14 to 19 compared to Fig. 1 to 12 have been omitted, a further description of these changes is omitted here. It is clear that the blank 1a after Fig. 27 analogous to Fig. 20 If necessary, can also be provided with the quill holes 38.

While Fig. 1 to 27 Show blanks 1 and 1a for formations in which the bottles 21 are arranged in two rows perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 2, show FIGS. 28 to 36 a one-piece blank 1c, which serves to produce an all-round packaging for single-row bottle formations. In the exemplary embodiment, a bottle formation containing four bottles 21 is shown specifically. Since most parts of the blank 1c correspond to those of the blanks 1 and 1a, are in FIGS. 28 to 36 the same parts throughout the same reference numerals as in Fig. 1 to 27 Mistake.

To Fig. 28 and 29 The blank 1c contains a cover part 5c, along which the two folding parts 12, 14 adjoin the two roof parts 6, 7, which in turn are connected to the side parts 8, 10 and the bottom parts 9, 11.

The ceiling part 5c differs from Fig. 1 and 2 only one perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 2 and between the fold lines 12, 14 arranged row of here four driving holes 27 and therefore has between the fold lines 12, 14 a correspondingly reduced width. The entrainment openings 27 are formed in imaginary cover sections and leave them only narrow, annular or annular segments formed. These have here two, diametrically opposite marginal zones 29c, the recesses 30c of the roof parts 6, 7 are facing. The edge zones 29c are analogous in the central region of the ceiling part 5c Fig. 1 in short, lying between the entrainment openings 29c web portions 52 on, each of which directly adjacent to the fold lines 12, 14 and are arranged between them. Each of the edge zones 29c projects beyond an associated, the folding lines 12 and 14 also in the analogous to Fig. 1 and 2 formed, substantially rectangular recesses 30c of the roof parts 6 and 7. However, shows Fig. 28 compared to Fig. 1 in that the corners of the recesses 30c remote from the fold lines 12, 14 are sharp-edged rather than rounded here, and may have a fold width, instead of a decreasing width, from the fold lines 12, 14 if the shapes of the closure parts 24 so require.

The side and bottom parts 8, 10 and 9, 11 are in the embodiment of Fig. 28 arranged with parallel to the longitudinal axis 2, narrow rectangular punched out 53, which - as in particular Fig. 29 shows - are interrupted by short strip of material 54. These strips of material 54 are preferably connected only by thin, possibly provided with perforations connecting lines 55 with the side and bottom parts 8, 10 and 9, 11, so that the material strips 54 act as predetermined breaking elements and easily from the side and bottom parts 8, 10 and 9, 11 can be broken to thereby pass through the cutouts 53 to the side edges 4a, 4b.

Incidentally, the blank 1c corresponds to the blanks 1 and 1a so that it can be folded around a formation of four bottles to form a tight wrap-around package, such as Fig. 30 shows. In this case, the bottles 21 can in turn assume any rotational positions, because, for example, disruptive closure parts 24 can laterally pass through the recesses 30c to the outside. The centering of the bottles 21 in the packaging takes place as in the other embodiments by means of the driving openings 27 and the punched-35 in the bottom sections 9a.

The all-around packaging after Fig. 30 are dimensioned and designed according to Fig. 31 in usual, usually made of plastic Gefachekästen 56 can be placed until they rest with the bottom parts 9b, 11b on the floors. The cutouts 53 take on the usual intermediate walls 57 or longitudinal or transverse struts 58 of the Gefachekästen 56 in itself. It is clear that the Punches 53 are so mounted in the blanks 1c, as the intermediate walls 57 and struts 58 of Gefachekästen 56 pretend. Depending on the type of Gefachekästen 56, it may therefore be necessary to make the punched-out 53 larger or smaller or to move to other than the shown points of the blank 1c.

While the strips of material 54 ( Fig. 29 ) in the manufacture of the blank 1c and the subsequent production of an all-round packaging stabilizing effect, they are when setting in a Gefachekasten 56, at least when a light pressure is exerted on the filled packaging, severed, since the thin connecting lines 55 act as predetermined breaking lines and tear through. The strips of material 54 therefore do not prevent the arrangement of the packaging units in the Gefachekästen 56th

The fact that now also the wrap-around packaging of swing top bottles can be arranged in usual Gefachekästen, there is the additional advantage that the same Gefachekästen can be used as for the sale of the packaged bottles and no additional containers are needed for the safe return transport of empty bottles how the z. B. when selling the packaging in individual pieces or in conventional trays would be the case.

Fig. 32 shows a side view of the finished packaging Fig. 30 , The unbalanced closure parts 24 assume very different positions.

FIGS. 33 and 34 show the finished wrap-around packaging in a respective front view and plan view in the event that the closure parts 24 and with them the sections 24a, 24b and 24c substantially in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis 2 (FIGS. Fig. 28 ) plane or perpendicular to the fold lines 12 and 14 are arranged. It is clearly visible that the edge zones 29c of the ceiling part 5c from the top of the two diametrically opposite, angled portions 24c of the closure parts 24 hang up, these sections 24c in Fig. 34 indicated by dashed lines. This gives the ceiling part 5c the necessary support when the side and bottom parts 8, 10 and 9, 11 are drawn down to place the blank 1c tightly around the bottles 21 everywhere. At the same time, the bracket portions 24a, 24b project outwardly through the open recesses 30c. In contrast, the show FIGS. 35 and 36 one opposite FIGS. 33 and 34 rotated by 90 ° position of the bottles 21. The closure or strap portions 24a, 24b are here substantially in a plane parallel to the fold lines 12, 14 level, so that they are arranged within the space defined by the roof parts 6, 7 space. In this case, the located between the driving holes 27 web portions 52 are based on the angled, in Fig. 36 indicated by dashed lines closure portions 24c, so that also here for a sufficient support of the ceiling portion 5c is taken care of. In all between positions Fig. 33, 34th and 35, 36 Possible intermediate positions result in similar conditions.

During the single-row blank 1c after FIGS. 28 to 36 consistently open recesses 30c contains for the unbalanced closure parts 24 show Fig. 37 and 38 a variant in the form of a one-piece blank 1d, in which these recesses analogous to Fig. 21 to 27 partially covered.

To Fig. 37 and 38 the cut contains 1d as in FIGS. 28 to 36 a ceiling part 5c with a single row of four driving openings 27, which are surrounded by cover portions of the ceiling part 5c, which have in the roof parts 6, 7 projecting edge zones 29c and disposed between the driving openings 27 web portions 52. At both, diametrically opposite edge zones 29c each bound comparatively small, formed in the roof parts 6, 7 parts 60 of recesses, which are defined in total by contour lines 61. The recess portions 60 and the contour lines 61 correspond to the recess portions 45a and contour lines 44 in FIG Fig. 21 , In a further analogy to Fig. 21 the recesses 61 surrounded by the contour lines are covered except for the parts 60 by tabs 62, 63, which are preferably connected along longitudinally parallel to the longitudinal axis 2 arranged scribe / fold lines 64, which the scribe / fold lines 49 in Fig. 21 correspond. By contrast, the contour lines 61 are preferably punched lines, wherein the two tabs 62, 63 are only longitudinally short, in Fig. 37 thick connecting lines 65, like the Connecting lines 50 in Fig. 21 may also be provided with perforations, hingedly connected to the adjacent areas of the roof parts 6, 7. As a result of this arrangement, the tabs 62, 63 in the finished state of the wrap-around packaging ( Fig. 38 ) depending on the position of the bottles 21 and the closure parts 24 more or less bulge outward. This function was above based on the Fig. 21 to 27 explained in detail. Since they according to the embodiment Fig. 37 and 38 is identical, can be dispensed with a new description here.

While the blanks 1c after FIGS. 28 to 36 no handle holes, handles od. Like. Have, the blanks 1d after FIGS. 37 to 39 each roof part 6, 7 in addition to a handle hole 66. This can be covered by breakable parts in the finished state of the blank 1d, as the dotted lines indicate. In order to be able to give the grip holes 66 a sufficient length measured parallel to the fold lines 12, 14, the recesses surrounding the contour lines 61 here have a smaller size. In particular, it is proposed to make the two recesses associated with the central driving openings 27 smaller. As Fig. 37 shows is z. B. on one side of the handle holes 66 only a tab 62 a and on the diametrically opposite side of the handle holes 36 only one tab 63 a present. This makes it possible to extend the grip holes 66 into areas that are in Fig. 37 and 38 would normally be taken from the two missing tabs. In contrast, the open parts 60 of the recesses are everywhere the same size as Fig. 37 clearly shows.

In order for the closure parts 24 of the bottles 21, in spite of missing in the region of the handle holes 66 tabs in FIGS. 33 and 34 can assume the tabs 62a, 63a at the remote from the handle holes 66 sides by a short connecting line 65a and at the handle holes 66 side facing by a respective Ritz / fold line 64a with the associated roof part 6, 7 connected , In contrast, the remaining portions of the recesses 61a surrounding the reduced recesses are formed continuously as punched lines. The tabs 62a, 63a are Thus arranged sufficiently flexible in the recesses and therefore, like the tabs 62, 63 depending on the positions of the closure members 64 bulge outward.

The basis of the FIGS. 28 to 36 described open recesses 30 c and the basis of the Fig. 37 and 38 described, partially hidden recesses can also be used in combination. Is in Fig. 39 shown by a blank 1e. This contains in the region of the two outer, its side edges 3a, 3b close driving openings 27 each open, but provided with rounded corners recesses 30c and in the region of the two central driving openings 27 each hidden, but reduced recesses corresponding to Fig. 37 only with one tab 62a and 63a are covered.

The invention is not limited to the described embodiments, which can be modified in many ways. This applies first to the described shapes and sizes of the various recesses 30, 45 and 61, which should have the described effect. Therefore, their shapes and sizes are determined essentially by the shapes and sizes of the unsymmetrical closure elements 22 of those bottles 21 which are to be wrapped with the respective blank. It is also clear that the recesses 30, 45 and 61 should not be made larger than is required for the desired function, so as not to affect the stability of the package and z. B. sufficiently long and wide web portions 52 between the individual driving holes 27 and between them and the side edges 3a, 3b to allow. Next, the blanks according to the invention, in particular with appropriate adjustment, also for other closures are suitable as buckles. Next, the blanks after Fig. 1 to 27 also for packaging other bottle formations than 2 x 3, z. B. 2 x 2 or 2 x 4, and the blanks after FIGS. 28 to 39 also for packaging of bottle formations other than 1 x 4, z. B. of 1 x 2, 1 x 3 or 1 x 5 are designed. Furthermore, the blanks can be made suitable for setting in both Gefachekästen and in Pinolenkästen if necessary. It is clear that the finished packaging units in very different containers such. Conventional cartons or trays 67 (e.g. Fig. 40 ) and offered in contrast to the accompanying drawings on the open front and / or rear end faces can be additionally provided with cover parts.
