Abstract

A folded box blank (1) comprising a plurality of base sections (2, 3, 30, 31, 32, 33) and at least four side wall sections (10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17) hinged thereto, wherein two base sections, respectively, are symmetrically disposed relative to one another.

Description

Folding box blank The invention relates to a folding box blank having a plurality of base portions and at least four side wall portions hinged thereon.

Many folding boxes are intended to accommodate relatively large volumes, but must enclose either only small volumes. or no volume when they are transported.

In addition, the folding boxes should be simple to assemble and stable when standing.

Moreover, folding boxes of this kind can also have inner bags which are able to protect the contents from moisture, for example.

It is an object of the invention to create a folding box blank which can be assembled to form a folding box which can have an at least partly flattened-out state and a completely assembled state.

This object is achieved in that in each case two base portions are arranged symmetrically with respect to one another.

This makes it possible to provide a flattened-out pack.

It is also very advantageous when the line of symmetry is in the form of a base folding line.

It is, however, likewise very advantageous, when the side wall portions are arranged symmetrically with respect to the base folding line.

This ensures a symmetrical structure of the folding box.

A further very advantageous configuration of the invention is also provided when connecting portions are hinged on the outer side wall portions.
Using these connecting portions, the blank can be connected to the pack. It is conceivable here for the connection to be in the form of a fin seam.

It is likewise very advantageous, according to the invention, when a plurality of base portions are provided in the longitudinal direction of the base folding line.

As a result, a base which is closed in the assembled state of the pack can be configured.

A further very advantageous development of the invention is also provided when the outer base portions have a contour which is in the form of a portion of a circle or in the form of a gusset and is directed toward the inner base portions.
Here, it is extremely advantageous, when the greatest dimension of the contour in the form of a portion of a circle or in the form of a gusset is arranged in the direction of the side wall portions.

A configuration of this kind ensures that when putting up a flattened-out pack, these base portions are assembled in each case to form a planar base part.
It has further 'proved to be extremely advantageous when there is provision in the outer base portions of folding lines which extend from the point at which the contour in the form of a portion of a circle or in the form of a gusset meets the base folding line to the outer edges of the outer side wall portions.
This configuration ensures even better erecting of the base portions. The base is additionally stiffened.

A further very advantageous configuration is provided when portions in the form of hooks are provided in the region of the point at which the contours in the form of a portion of a circle or in the form of a gusset meet the base folding line.

These portions in the form of hooks interlock and thus prevent the base from unintentionally folding back. The erected base is very stable as a result.

It is likewise very advantageous when portions in the form of hooks are provided at the outer border of the outer base portions in the region of the base folding line.

These outer portions in the form of hooks are also able to interlock and thus prevent the base from folding back.
According to the invention, it has also proven to be very advantageous when there is provision of a central base portion, which has an increasing longitudinal extent starting from the adjacent side wall portions.
It is very advantageous here when the length of the base portion is greater in the region of the base folding line than in the region of-the side wall portions.

It is likewise very advantageous when a constriction in the contour of the central base portion is provided in the region of the base folding line.

In a configuration of this kind of the central base portion, the outer base portions are guided during erecting and brought into the envisioned planar position. The base is closed.
A further very advantageous configuration of the invention is also provided when barbs and/or holders for barbs are provided on the base portions in the region of the base folding line.

The barbs and the holders connect the base portions together and prevent folding back.

For a folding box produced from a blank as claimed in one of the preceding claims, it has proved to be very advantageous when, during the assembling of a blank which has been pre-folded in the form of a W, the base portions engage in one another and together form an at least approximately planar base, and in the process engage firmly in one another.

This produces a safely standing and stable pack with a large volume.

The invention is illustrated in the following text on the basis of a plurality of exemplary embodiments.

In the figures:

figure 1 shows a blank having a plurality of base portions and inwardly directed catching means, figure 2 shows a further blank having differently configured base portions having inwardly directed catching means, figure 3 shows a third blank having outwardly directed catching means.

In figure 1, a blank having two central base portions 2 and 3 is designated 1. The base portions 2 and 3 are separated from one another by a folding line 4. Incisions 5 and. 6 in the form of hooks are provided close to the folding line 4 ................. .

in the central base portions 2 and 3. Starting from the folding line 4, the width of the central base portions 2 and 3 increases, and so a protrusion 7 is formed. Proceeding from this protrusion 7, the central portions 2 and 3 become narrower again in order to assume the width of the adjacent side wall portions 10 and 11, which are hinged on the central base portions 2 and 3 via a respective folding line 12 and 13.

Further side wall portions 14, 15, 16, and 17 are hinged, by way of folding lines 18, 19, 20 and 21, laterally to the side wall portions 10 and 11, in each case on both sides.

Connecting portions 22 and 23 are provided on the sides of the side wall portions 14, 15, 16 and 17 remote from the side wall portions 10 and 11. These connecting portions are adhesively bonded to the side wall portions 16 and 17. It is also conceivable for there to be provision of four connecting portions 22 and 24 and also 23 and 25, which can be connected to a fin in each case during the assembling of the pack. The connecting portions 22, 23, 24 and 25 are hinged on the side wall portions 14, 15, 16 and 17 via folding lines 26.

Further base portions 30, 31, 32 and 33 are hinged on the side wall portions 14, 15, 16 and 17 via folding lines 34, 35, 36 and 37 and are separated from one another by folding lines 38 and 39 lying in extension of the folding line 4.

The base portions 30, 31, 32 and 33 are provided in the region of the inner end of the folding lines 38 and 39 with incisions 40 and 41, in the form of hooks, which are able, during the erecting of the blank to form a pack, to engage in the incisions 5 and 6 in the form of hooks in the central base portions 2 and 3 and to interlock therewith.
Reinforcing portions 43 are hinged on the base portions 30, 31, 32 and 33 via folding lines 42. The folding lines 42 extend in each case from the intersections of the folding lines 38 and 39 with the incisions 40 and 41 in the form of hooks to the folding lines 26. During the erecting of a pack formed from the blank 1, the reinforcing portions 43 make it easier to erect and additionally stiffen the base formed.
When flattening out the blank 1, the base portions 2, 3, 30, 31, 32 and 33 are folded inward between the side wall portions 10, 11, 14, 15, 16 and 17, and so, as seen from the side, a configuration in the form of a W results.

A film bag formed in a manner corresponding to the configuration in the form of a W can be inserted into this blank and can comprise, for example, moisture-sensitive material that adds volume. In addition to its function as a moisture barrier, the film bag can also act as a grease barrier, and so grease contained in the bag cannot pass into the cardboard material of the blank 1.

The film bag can in this case firstly be adhesively bonded on the side wall portions 10, 11, 14, 15, 16 and/or 17 with spots or lines of adhesive and/or be incorporated by adhesive bonding into the seams consisting of the connecting portions 22, 23, 24 and 25.

The pack flattened out in this way can thus be transported easily and in a space-saving manner.
If the pack is then intended to be assembled, the seams or fin seams are pushed together. This reduces the folding in of the base portions 2, 3, 30, 31, 32 and 33. The base portions 30, 31, 32 and 33 are guided by the protrusions 7, and so the barbs formed from the incision lines 5, 6, 40 and 41 are able to engage in one another. The individual base portions 2, 3, 30, 31, 32 and 33 are matched in form to one ..

another such that the barbs engage precisely when the base formed from the base portions 2, 3, 30, 31, 32 and 33 has folded out flat.

The hooking-in of the barbs renders the base extremely stable and steady.

Figure 2 shows a further configuration of the base portions, in which the central base portions 202 and 203 have a rounded configuration.

It is, however, also conceivable, as illustrated in figure 3, to provide, instead of the inwardly directed incisions 5, 6, 40 and 41 in the form of barbs, outwardly directed barbs 305 and 306, which are provided in recesses 307 and 308 in the central base portions 302 and 303. In this exemplary embodiment, the central base portions 302 and 303 have an angular configuration and are at their widest in the region of the folding line 4. The compulsory engagement of the barbs 305 and 306 in the recesses 307 and 308 takes place in this case with the pack folded out slightly. further than the finished state.

It is also conceivable to provide further wall and base portions and thus to create a pack that has more angles than the examples illustrated. It is also conceivable here for the pack to have only four side wall portions and base portions, in which case an approximately rectangular pack can be erected.
Cardboard, which is uncoated or has a coating on its inside and/or outside, can be used for the blank 1. In addition, it is conceivable for printing to be provided on the inside and/or outside.
