Packaging box

The invention relates to a packaging box, for example for a technical object such as a vacuum cleaner, with two closing lids facing each other and forming edge edges, which can be connected in a closing manner by means of a bridging adhesive strip.

Such packaging boxes are known in many different designs. They usually have a rectangular base and a cuboid shape. The edges of the closure lids lie against each other when closed and are sealed by means of an adhesive strip. If an object with a sensitive surface, such as a vacuum cleaner, is stored in the box, it can happen that when the closure lids are opened, which is usually done using a knife that penetrates the gap between the facing edges, the tip of the knife damages the object inside.

It is already common practice to place a separate cardboard lid underneath the lid in the box, covering the object inside, as a cut protection. However, this procedure is time-consuming. An additional piece of cardboard also has to be disposed of.

The invention therefore has the object of providing a packaging carton which is advantageously designed with regard to a cutting opening for protecting the objects contained therein.

TGHL"265.T39g".23.80JB *Mfl. /GaUV: 'CTS.Qg.2000

This object is initially and essentially achieved by the subject matter of claim 1, whereby the edge of the closure cap overlaps in one longitudinal section of the edge, while in another longitudinal section they are arranged opposite one another. According to the invention, the overlap can be provided where and to such an extent where the object is located, at least with regard to its surface-sensitive area, or its area furthest towards the closure cap. When severing using a knife, one can start in the area where the edge is opposite one another. The severing knife is also guided accordingly here. When one then comes to the area of the overlap during cutting, the knife is automatically raised and then cuts into the overlapping layer of a closure cap at the bottom.

In one embodiment, it is also provided that the edge edges overlap in a longitudinal center region of the closure lids, while they lie opposite each other at the longitudinal edge regions. This always gives you the option of starting the cutting opening at an edge region first. Furthermore, the invention also provides that the edge edge of one of the closure lids has an overlap projection at the longitudinal center region of its edge edge, while the other edge edge is designed to be straight. This means that only one of the edge edges requires a special tool design to create the contour. The other edge edge then also serves as a continuous support for the cutting blade that creates a straight cut. The overlap preferably extends over approximately 1/20 to 1/5 of the width of one of the closure lids, with the overlap

The closure lids are preferably of the same width anyway, with the exception of the overlapping area. The width of the closure lids is further preferably selected such that in the area in which their edge margins are opposite one another, these edge margins run along the longitudinal center line of the carton.

The overlap preferably extends over 1/10 of the width of an associated closure cover.

In terms of longitudinal extension, the overlap preferably extends over 1/3 to 3/4 of the length of a closure lid. The closure lids are otherwise of the same length.

It is also preferred that the packaging carton has only the two closure lids mentioned, and not any closure lids extending transversely thereto.

The invention is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawing, which, however, represents only an exemplary embodiment:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a packaging carton;

Fig. 2 is a section along the line II-II in Fig. 1, in schematic view.

Shown and described with reference to Fig. 1 is a packaging box 1 in which a vacuum cleaner 2 (see Fig. 2) is located. The packaging box has a rectangular base and a cubic shape.

It has a base 12 (see Fig. 2), four side walls 3, 4 and two closure lids 5, 6 forming the covers.

The closure lids 5, 6 have further edge edges 7, 8 and overlap in a longitudinal center region of the edge edges 7, 8. The overlapping area is marked with a in Fig. 1. The edge edges 7, 8 lie opposite one another in longitudinal edge regions b and c in the closed state of the packaging box, which is shown in Fig. 1. This closed state is further secured by an adhesive tape 9, which is only indicated.

In detail, the design is selected such that the closure cover 5 forms an overlapping projection 10, while the edge 7 of the closure cover 6 is designed to be straight. The edge 8 of the closure cover 5 runs with an offset, but the end regions in the regions a and b according to Fig. 1 are again aligned with one another.

As can be further seen from the illustration in Fig. 2, when the adhesive tape 9 is severed by means of a knife 11 in the gap between the edge 7 and 8 in the areas b and c, into which the knife first enters and then during the cutting process, cutting protection for the vacuum cleaner 2 is achieved, since the knife 11 then runs onto the overlap projection 10 in the overlap area a, while it continues to be guided in a straight line by the edge 7.
