Description

The present invention relates to a transport packaging. Such transport packaging has long been known from the prior art, for example in the form of cardboard boxes, as used for example for removals. Foldable cardboard boxes are known from the prior art, in which the floor parts are folded over each other and can withstand certain loads in this way. However, such transport packages, which are usually equipped as disposable packaging, often cause cracks in the bottom area, which can then lead to falling out of the goods packed therewith. Under a transport packaging packaging is understood, which is suitable in the broadest sense for transporting goods, such as in the form of a moving box, a storage box or a shipping box.

The present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a transport packaging and in particular a disposable transport packaging available, which can also be filled with more significant weights without the bottom of the transport packaging yields. This object is achieved by the subject of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments and further developments are the subject of the dependent claims.

A transport packaging according to the invention, in particular a disposable packaging, and in particular for packaging of portable objects, has at least three side walls communicating with each other via first folds and also a bottom which can be closed by folding. Furthermore, this transport packaging has at least one first floor section connected to at least one side wall via a folding point, and a second floor section communicating with at least one further side wall likewise via a folding point, the first floor section being in an assembled state of the transport packaging one the interior Having the transport packaging facing surface and the interior of the transport packaging facing away from the surface. Thus, these two surfaces face each other and are also advantageous in parallel.

According to the invention, a fastening means is arranged on a surface of the first floor section in order to fasten this first floor section to the second floor section. This fastening means is preferably arranged on the surface of the first floor section facing away from the interior of the transport packaging.

It is thus proposed to achieve an increase in stability in that these floor sections, in particular during assembly, are glued together. It would alternatively also be possible for a fastening means to be arranged on the surface facing the interior space on the said second floor section. The attachment of the fastener on the surface facing away from the interior, however, has the advantage that when folding this relevant floor section can be folded first and only then the opposite other floor section can be folded over. In this way, a higher load capacity of the interconnected by the fastening means bottom sections can be achieved. A fold is understood to mean a region by means of which the two adjacent sections can be pivoted relative to one another. Advantageously, this fold extends along a straight line.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the transport packaging has at least three and preferably at least four bottom sections which are particularly preferably in each case in communication with a side wall. Advantageously, all floor sections are in each case connected via folding points to the respective side walls.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the fastening means has an adhesive coating. Thus, this adhesive coating is used to attach these two bottom sections together.

Advantageously, it is a disposable fastener. This means that a connection made by this fastener can not be solved without destroying at least a portion of the package. Although it is accepted that the packaging can only be folded once, a very high stability of the floor can be achieved by the fastening means.

Advantageously, the fastening means extends along a width which corresponds to at least half the width of the respective bottom section. The bottom section may preferably have a first section which is arranged on a side wall via the folding point (in particular along the entire width of the respective side wall) and a tongue section arranged on this first section, on which the fastening means is arranged.

This first portion tapers preferably starting from the fold, particularly preferably continuously. The attachment section preferably extends along at least 60% of the width of the tongue portion, preferably along at least 70%, and more preferably along at least 80%. In this way, a stable hold of the two mutually attached floor sections along a substantial part of the width of the respective floor section can be achieved.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the transport packaging has exactly four side walls. In this embodiment, the transport packaging thus has a square or rectangular cross section. Advantageously, opposing bottom sections are fastened together with the fastening element.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the first floor section and the second floor section are opposite each other. In other words, preferably that side wall, on which the first bottom section is arranged, is opposite that side wall, on which the second bottom section is arranged. Advantageously, therefore, at least one further bottom section is arranged in a not yet folded state of the packaging between the first bottom section and the second bottom section. In an assembled state of the transport packaging, the fold over which the first floor section is arranged on the side part assigned to it is preferably arranged parallel to the fold over which the second floor section is attached to the side wall assigned to it.

Advantageously, then two more floor sections are provided, which can also be folded. During assembly, the bottom section provided with the fastening means is preferably initially folded in and then the two other transverse bottom sections and finally the one bottom section opposite the bottom section, which has the fastening means.

Preferably, a fastening means is provided only at one or exactly one of the bottom sections. This has been found to be sufficient with suitable folding, but facilitates the assembly of the transport packaging and reduces their costs. Generally, at least one of the bottom sections is not provided with a fastening means, preferably at least two bottom sections.

It is conceivable that the two bottom portions, which adjoin the bottom portion with the fastening means, at least in a collapsed state form a recess through which the fastening means can be connected to the fourth portion. It is conceivable that the said further adjacent floor sections have a section which overlaps in the assembled state and a further section which forms just said said recess. In this way, first of all the section with the fastening means can be folded in, then the two lateral sections which form the recess and finally the bottom section opposite the bottom section with the fastening means. However, it would also be possible for the bottom section, which has the fastening means, to be folded over last.

In a further advantageous embodiment, in each case a folding point is arranged on at least two side parts, wherein these folding points are at least partially offset in relation to one another in a longitudinal direction of the transport packaging. The longitudinal direction of the transport packaging is advantageously a direction which is substantially perpendicular to a formed bottom surface of the transport packaging.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the transport packaging is integrally formed. Advantageously, the transport packaging is formed or folded from a one-piece folding material. The individual folding points can already be preformed.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the transport packaging is made of paper or cardboard. Advantageously, the transport packaging in a folded state has a cubic shape.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the transport packaging has a desired tear-open point at a first bottom section. In this case, a first section of the bottom section can be separated from another section of the bottom section via this desired tear-open location. Advantageously, the connecting means or this fastening means is separated via this desired tear-open point from a further region of the bottom section. In this way, the already assembled transport packaging can be folded very quickly and disposed of in a space-saving manner by separating or tearing the tear-open.

In a further advantageous embodiment, said second bottom portion has an opening through which at least a portion of the first bottom portion is passable. By means of this opening the hold of the two bottom sections is strengthened to each other, as well as a certain jamming can be done by passing the projection through the opening. In this case, the bottom sections are preferably connected to one another in such a way that the first Bottom portion partially above and partly below the second bottom portion extends.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the second floor section has a curved edge. This curved edge can provide for the assembly of the transport packaging for greater stability.

Advantageously, the second bottom portion has a recess and particularly preferably a projection is arranged in this recess and particularly preferably a projection with a curved course.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the transport packaging also has a lid device. It can be arranged on the side walls each cover portions which are folded in known manner from the prior art for closing the transport packaging. Advantageously, at least two, preferably at least 3 and more preferably four such cover sections are provided. In this case, an adhesive strip may in turn also be provided on a surface of such a lid section in order to temporarily close the transport packaging. It would also be conceivable that in turn also one of the lid portions has a tear-open, so that a rapid opening of the transport packaging is possible.

The present invention is further directed to a kit for producing a transport packaging and in particular a transport packaging of the type described above. In this case, this kit has a foldable section which serves to form the transport packaging, wherein this first foldable section has at least three side walls connected by folds, and wherein the first foldable section has at least one first bottom section communicating with at least one side wall and having a second communicating with another side wall bottom portion.

According to the invention, this first floor section has fastening means on a predetermined surface section in order to fasten this floor section to a surface section of the second floor section. It is therefore also proposed with regard to the kit to form fastening sections so that the bottom sections can be firmly connected to each other.

Further advantages and embodiments will become apparent from the accompanying drawings. Show:

1 A folding section in a first embodiment for folding a transport packaging according to the invention;

2 another embodiment of a folding section for folding a transport packaging;

3 a third embodiment of a folding section for folding a transport packaging;

4 a fourth embodiment of a folding section for folding a transport packaging;

5 a fifth embodiment of a folding section for folding a transport packaging; and

6 a sixth embodiment of a folding section for folding a transport packaging.

1 shows a folding section 1a for producing a packaging. Here are the four side walls 24a . 24b . 24c and 24d each with respect to their folds 22a . 22b . 22c and 22d folded. In this way creates a circumferential structure in the manner of a rectangle, when the individual side walls against each other at an angle of 90 °.

On the side wall 24c is a connection section 10 arranged, which, for example via a splice, on the side wall 24b can be arranged.

Then the floor can be folded in. For this purpose, it is assumed below that the in 1 visible surfaces each represent the outside of the finished transport packaging surfaces. For further assembly, the bottom section is first 26b folded, preferably with respect to its fold 25d by substantially 90 °. Subsequently, the two floor sections 26a and 26c collapsed. These soil sections 26a and 26c each have a lead 42 on, as well as an obliquely retracted area 44 , which in this way is a recess 46 formed. In this case, this recess 46 each at least so great that a fastener 30 which is at the bottom section 26b is arranged, not obscured.

The reference number 26 marks the bottom of the packaging in its entirety.

In a final step, the fastener is still activated, such as by pulling a protective strip from an underlying adhesive layer. Then also the bottom section 26d regarding the fold 25b swiveled or folded by 90 °.

This floor section 26d has left and right side projections respectively 34 on and one between these projections 34 lying recess 36 , Furthermore, a curved projection 38 provided, which in a folded state also on the side wall 24b extends. This curved section also facilitates the joining of the floor sections.

Finally, the lid sections can still 18a to 18d be folded, again here these lid sections with respect to their folding points 12a to 12d can form angles of preferably 90 °.

The reference number 14 indicates a further attachment portion, here to a lid portion 18b is arranged and when folding to the lid portion 18d is glued. Also preferred here is the lid section 18d folded as a first section. In this way, the transport packaging is securely closed.

The reference number 8th indicates a tear point that can be torn apart by the user. It can be a predetermined breaking point at this point, which can be completely separated, for example, by a Aufrissband. After this separation remains the fastener 30 at the area of the bottom section 26d adhere and nevertheless, the remaining area of the bottom section 32 be unfolded. An appropriate break point 16 can also be provided on the lid sections in order to be able to open it again easily. The fastening means can be an adhesive coating 30a and in particular a coating which is so strong that the sections held together by this coating can no longer be separated from each other without destroying these sections.

2 shows a similar embodiment as 1 , but with the difference that here is the break point 16 and the attachment section 14 on the same lid section 18d are arranged and can be folded, for example. In this way, when folding the attachment section sets 14 to the lid section 18b at. When separating the tear-open 16 this liability remains, however, however, the lid can be opened again. In this embodiment, the fastening means 14 at a projection 52 , in turn, to the lid section 18d is arranged, fastened. In this way, here is this advantage 52 be folded down and, for example, on a side wall (here 24b ) of the transport packaging are arranged or glued.

3 shows a similar embodiment as 1 Here, however, unlike 1 the configuration of the bottom section 26d is modified. This bottom section has an opening here 54 through which an end portion of the bottom portion 26b and in particular the section with the fastening means 30 can be passed. In this way, the attachment portion 30 even more reliable at the bottom section 26d be attached. As with the in 1 embodiment shown are also in the in 3 shown embodiment, the fastener 14 and the tearing agent 16 at different and in particular opposite side parts 26b and 26d arranged.

4 shows a combination of the embodiment 3 and the embodiment of 2 , That is, in this embodiment, the lid portion both the fastener 14 as well as the breakpoint 16 arranged. The configuration of the bottom sections corresponds to that with reference to 3 described arrangement. Besides, in the embodiment, at the bottom portion 26d still hinged surface elements 64 intended.

5 again shows an embodiment which, however, is composed essentially of a combination of the embodiments described above. The lid section is as in 4 provided, but in this embodiment, only three lid sections 18a . 18c and 18d are provided and in this embodiment, the fastening means 14 indirectly on the side wall 24b is arranged.

Exactly here on the sidewall 24d a fastener 14 provided, to which the extended section 52 the lid section 18d can be arranged.

6 shows a further embodiment similar to that in FIG 5 shown embodiment, but here the fastener 16 again at the extended section 52 is arranged and not on the side wall 24d ,

It is stated that the in the 1 - 6 shown embodiments can also be combined with each other in substantially any way. That is, the specific arrangement of the respective fastening means, the arrangement of the tear strips and the like.

The Applicant reserves the right to claim all features disclosed in the application documents as essential to the invention, provided they are novel individually or in combination with respect to the prior art.
