Bristol 5, England

The invention relates to a product packaging, in which the goods to be packaged, for example cylindrical jugs, vessels, bottles or the like., On stand on a floor.

The packaging of such goods is packaging known, in which a set of goods stands on a supporting floor, and in which shrinkable film is placed around the goods, so that a compact, easy-to-use unit is created. The scope The Verpaokungebodens corresponds roughly to the set of goods packaging that stands on the floor. If the If the wrapping film is removed, the goods cannot be easily removed from the floor. This can be avoided by placing the goods on the bottom of the packaging before wrapping them, and this has also been suggested for normal right-angled Verpaokungsboden. Solohe packaging but have the disadvantage that there is no really airtight packaging, but the goods can move relative to each other because the pressure of the walls of the package prevents the wrapping film touches the goods and holds them tightly against each other.

Shaped packaging bottoms have also been proposed, which result in a tight packaging of the goods, and also use a shrinkable material. These known packagings are robust and have rigid. Walls that do not give in when the KLIm is applied and is shrunk on. In order to achieve such rigidity, the walls have protrusions. That but is cumbersome.

According to the invention, the disadvantages described above are avoided in that the packaging is flexible Has wall corners, and that these corners are not connected to the bottom area of the packaging and can adapt to the walls of the goods. The shrinkable envelope thus forms a closed one Tape around the goods.

The invention basically consists in the fact that the packaging consists of a cardboard strip or the like. manufactured is, which is a substantially rectangular bottom area with obtuse corners, and the walls on the sides the package has forming strips which abut the bottom area along a line above the bottom, wherein at least two strips forming the wall have free end parts which are connected to end parts of an adjacent one Wall strips connected .be connected, and begin at a short distance from the adjacent wall part, where the wall strips are bent over to form wall parts along the sohwäoheren lines, and the free end parts are flexible Form rounded corners

The blunt corners of the floor spaces and formed rounded in accordance with the walls of the goods to be packaged, but they can also be more inside, ie, a curved or a straight outer edge AUOH have

provided only the bottoms of the goods on the packaging bottom stand. The corners of the floor area need calibration produced packaging not to extend outwards over the flexible wall corners.

The flexible wall tokens can be extended by extensions all the strips forming the wall formed leg or only two of these strips, and the wall tokens are connected to neighboring wall tokens, or to neighboring wall parts, namely by gluing, by stapling or the like. The walls of the packaging can run at right angles or after running outwards or inwards, or running outwards first and then inwards.

The distances between the obtuse corners of the floor area and the wall corners are achieved either by trimming the blunt eokeii of the bottom area and / or by removing the bottom edge of each wall area. Purpose of the invention Packaging is the set of goods to be packaged with the heat-shrinkable cover to form a solid whole to unite·

The invention is explained with reference to the drawings.

The strip according to Pig.l "is made of cardboard and has an area 1 that forms the bottom and is approximately rectangular. The parts 2 and 4 that form the walls are connected to the bottom area 1 along lighter lines and 5. In the weakened lines 3 and 5 At a distance, incisions can be provided in order to facilitate the bending of the parts forming the walls.

The corners of the bottom area 1 are blunted and have

the ΙΌπα of round corners 6, and the walls forming parts 2 have free end parts 7, which form the wall tokens, which are at a distance from the weakened start line 5. So the weakened line 3 is shorter than the distance between the weakened ones Line parts 5. The end parts 7 end in larger projections 8. The inner edge 9 of the end part 7 runs offset, but parallel to the weak lines 3, so that a distance 10 between the corner 6 and the Wall corners are created when the packaging is finished.

The Yfand strips 4 have a weakened line 11, and in the drawn line there are cut-out parts

Pig 2 shows the strip with the packaging completed with a bottom part and with peripheral walls. Stripes 2 and 4 are around the weakened lines 3 and bent over, and the strips 4 are bent over with their weakened lines 11. The projections 8 engage the holes formed by the incisions 12 and thus hold the walls of the bottom part in their position. The projections 8 lie loosely in these holes, so that the parts 7 with respect to the wall parts 4, if necessary can move.

In Pig.3 the bottom strip has a substantially rectangular Bodenbereioh 1, the strips forming the walls 2 and 4 to the ansohliessen, namely along weakened lines 3, 5. In DIE SES embodiment are at each end of the two shorter strips two extensions 13 are provided which are so long that they can be bent and one

End part I4 result with the end part 15 of the adjacent Strip 4 is connected

The area 1 that produces the bottom has rounded corners 6. The end line of the curvature of the corners 6 lies asymptotically to the lines of weakness 3 »4> and between there is a distance between one edge of the extension 13 and the bottom area after the packaging has been completed or a column 10 due to the interruption of the extension 13 at 17.

]? ig.4 shows the finished strip according to Pig.3. The walls 2, 4 are bent over at right angles to the plane of the floor area 1, and the extensions 13 are bent along the curvature of the corner 6 and by layering 18 the end parts 14 are the extension 13 connected to the end parts 15 of the adjacent walls.

The extensions 13 are so long that they form the entire corner of the packaging, but it can also extensions can be provided on two or four of the strips forming the walls, if at each corner there is an extension of such a length that there is a rounded "corner. If you either envelops the floor area or the floor of the extension in such a way that

-7-909820 / 0446

a gap between the extension and the floor area results, then both of the types of extension discussed above can be used. The floor doesn't need to have a rounded corner, but can also have a straight corner, as indicated in Pig.3 with 6 '.

Pig.5 shows the storage of several goods. The Yfares are placed in a row on the packaging base and are cylindrical in Figure 5, for example Paint cans 20 with a diameter such that three cans can be accommodated next to each other, with the upper ends of the sleeves extend over the upper edges of the walls 2, 4, and where the radius of curvature of the round corners formed by the extensions 13 is the same as the barrel radius. To this The edges of the box and the corners of the wall are kind of interfering with each other not. If the goods are bottles or pots, the flexible corners overlap the protruding ends of bottles or pots.

Around the packaging and the goods there is an envelope 21 made of flexible, heat-shrinkable, thermoplastic Material such as polyethylene. The casing pulls the resilient Y / ends 2 and 4 against the sleeves 20 and thus forms a solid bond with the packaging corners according to the shape of the goods packaging. The cover 21 comprises the upper parts of the goods and their Side panels, and in this way the goods are kept tightly packed in the package, and thereby yields the strength of the packaging, because the walls 2 and 4 prevent the edges of the bottom area from bending strengthen. Such packaging is compact and easy to handle and when the wrapper is removed the cans remain in the packaging and

can be handled, for example brought into layers from which the goods are removed from the packaging for sale.

The execution according to the I ¹ Xg. 6-9 is similar to that after S ¹ Xg. 1 and 2, but the parts of the packaging run outwards. The strip again consists of a bottom area 1 with two opposite Yfundungen 2, which merge along a weaker line 3 into the bottom area, while the other walls 4 merge with a weaker line 5 into the bottom area. The weaker lines 3 »5 expediently have incisions between which beads lie. The free end parts 22 of the wall strips 2 are curved inwards and end in projections 23 "The strip has an opening 24" at each corner and the inner edge of the end parts 22 is undercut, as indicated at. The curved corners 6 are also undercut with respect to the weaker line 3.

The packaged goods are in this pail glass container. the curved wall parts 2 and 4 are covered by a shrinkable envelope against the lower parts of the walls of the glasses dressed.

In the version similar to Pig. 10 and 11, there is the Strips of a floor area 1 and wall strips 2, which merge into the floor area via a weaker line 3, these wall strips have two narrower end portions 28-14, which terminate in a projection 30 and over one Neck 32 are connected to the strips 28. The neck 32 has two edges 33, 34. There are two other strips 35 connected to the bottom area via the weaker line 5 and have incisions 36. During the manufacture of the packaging the wall strips 2 and 35 are bent around the weaker line and form the walls of the packaging, and the End portions 28 are folded over so that the projections 30 in

909820/0446

the incisions 36 lie. The edges 34 and 35 prevent the projections 30 from becoming detached from the incisions 36 the edge strips 2 and 35 can move somewhat relative to one another, and as a result the peripheral wall the packaging tightly through the wrapping film the goods are created. As shown in FIG. 11, this design is suitable for machine filling the packaging.

As with the previous examples, there is between the rounded corners 6 of the bottom area 1 and the round corners formed by the extension 28, a distance.

The difference is in the design according to FIGS. 12 and 13 10 and 11 only in that the Verpaokung has a handle at each end. The wall strips 35 are elongated and form handles 38 with flaps 42. If necessary, only one such handle can be used to be available. During the manufacture of the packaging, the end parts 30 are brought to rest against the edge of the hole, by bending the flaps 42 downward. The packaging with the goods can be lifted using the handles, and when the cover made of the shrinkable material fits, a handle is accessible through the hole in the wrapping material.

In the embodiment according to FIGS. 14 and 15, the wall strips have no connecting parts. Here too, the floor area 1 wall strips 2, the free ends 43 of which have bending lines 44 to facilitate bending while the extension 43 can be inserted between double strips 45, of which the inner strip protrudes 47 has, which insert themselves into slots 48 of Bodenbereiohes 1. Here, too, there is a distance between the round corners 6 of the bottom area 1 and the round corners of the packaging.

Bs can also include all walls of the packaging and the Corners be executed twice.

In the execution according to the Pig. 16 and 17 extend the wall strips first outwards and then inwards. Each wall strip has strip parts 50, 51, the two Wall parts result, while further strip parts 52, 53 · form two other opposite YiTandteile. !The Free end parts 54 in extension of the wall parts 51 engage in the wall strips 53 as well, as in FIG 10 and 11 is described. The extensions 54 are spread outwards. Parts 50 and 52 can instead of standing up, also extend outwards by changing the length of the free end portions 54. Then the distance between the wall parts and the floor area is greater.

G-em according to the pig. 18 and 19 are different from the Pig. 10 and 11, the end parts 28 are extended outwards, so that a packaging with inwardly extending walls is formed results. Such a packaging is particularly suitable for bottles whose lower parts are larger than that upper parts.

The version according to Pig. 20 and 21 is for recording just thought of a number of containers. The strip connection is the same as with the Pig.10 and 11, but with In this embodiment, the wall strips 35 with the incisions are longer, and the wall strips 56 have projections 30 that lay in the incisions. The outer edges 58 are curved, and the inner edges 59 are curved and undercut.

The material of the packaging can be cardboard of various thicknesses or corrugated cardboard or paper or plastic, if desired, the free end portions have bend lines to facilitate the formation of curved corners.

If corrugated cardboard or paper is used, then it must the material must be sufficiently flexible so that the corner parts and the wall parts follow the shape of the goods in the Customize packaging. For example, the material can have sixteen corrugations per 25 mm. In the bottom area of the A special layer of corrugated cardboard can also be provided on the strip, and this layer can have incisions for receiving the goods.

The packaging can also contain two or more superimposed Layers of goods are packed, with the bottoms of one layer lying on the lids of the lower layer, and all goods are then surrounded by a wrapping film. Each such layer of goods can also represent packaging in itself, and all packaging then becomes stacked on top of each other and held together by a shrinkable cover.

In all cases, inverted packaging can also be placed on top of the goods before the goods are wrapped be arranged, which is just as large, smaller or larger than the bottom packaging, depending on the shape of the goods to be packaged.

The advantages of the packaging according to the invention are:

1. The flexible corners adapt to the curvature,

2. The packaging is dustproof,

3. The overview of the packaging stimulates buying from the outside,

4. The packaging is free of right-angled corners which, if destroyed, would loosen the wrapping film.
