Packaging for products such as sugar cubes

The invention relates to a packaging of products and relates in particular to containers or Boxes that are intended to contain content that cannot be poured, such as Sugar cubes.

The boxes used for this purpose are generally parallelepiped in shape and theirs three dimensions are chosen in such a way that the

To get easy removal vax / äluleisteu, V ₁ OiSoU the boxes generally have a relatively large bz./. wide opening area :: a. £. The sugar boxes most frequently used up to now consist of a basket or base, which has a right-angled base area: n: f ve i; t and of four, a receptacle forming!. · ■ _: 3htv / inkligen Lateral surfaces are limited and a top;!

That is why it is customary after filling the box at least two side surfaces of the lid with two corresponding side surfaces of the base, for example to be firmly connected by gluing.

Since it is the habit of animal consumers to use the outer packaging as a container for as long as possible during the entire period of use ^{1 of} the product, the first time the outer packaging is opened by the

The containers or boxes of the ones described above Art did not agree to the requested wishes satisfy, i.e. there is a risk that they will Because of their handling in operation they accidentally open, they are not tight enough to provide protection for their In] ι al b to ensure their storage during the period, and ? i ° köruvrn not by the consumer in the way are easily opened so that they remain usable as a container for domestic pre-use.

In particular iLUß the bonding, which is intended to div febte connection dsr to two elements of the box g-i '- are essential, as is the tightness locally blue and weak, that is the box can be opened without tearing; it follows that the The tightness of the box remains very incomplete.

The aim of the invention is to eliminate the above mentioned Disadvantages and the creation of a container bzv :. a box for packaging products such as Sugar cubes that have an excellent seal to protect the contents of the box during their storage guaranteed and can be opened later by a simple and very quick handle to get a clean and to form a convenient container that has an open position, great access allowed to their content, and has a closed position that the required tightness during the

total consumption time for the content ;.

For this purpose there is a box on the Vex pack uinec Product, xvie sugar cubes, prismatic shape with a lower and an upper llasic surface, one below the other connected by four side surfaces are provided which has a weakening contour that extends over its upper surface and over one of its side surfaces extends to with the opposite to the Sciten-

the upper surface area-lying edge / a flap zone delimits; the The side face has a separable Si.reifen on, which adjoins the flap zone with one of its sides, so that by severing the strip it is your User is able to grab the edge of the flap zoiie, to tear open the security guard \ with such an opening Determine the closing flap of the box.

The invention is described below with reference to the drawing for example described; in this shows:

In Fig. 1, a sugar box is closed before Their first opening is shown to be made up of two different ones Sections, for example made of carbon, from which a base or body 10 or a cover 11 are formed are, insisted-

The cover 11 comprises a rectangular upper base surface 12 which is delimited or enclosed by a pair of opposing small side surfaces 13 and a pair of opposing large λ side surfaces 14. The bottom 10 has a shape analogous to that of the lid; it comprises a rectangular lower base surface (not visible in the figure) which is delimited or bordered by two pairs of right-angled side walls 13a and 14-a which have a slightly greater height than the side surfaces of the cover. After filling the base with sugar cubes, the box is closed by inserting or placing the lid, the side surfaces of which rest against the corresponding side walls of the base. A total seal to ensure a continuous adhesive strip 15 which extends around the box, the side faces \ of the lid and the side walls connecting the bottom in the vicinity of the free edge of the surfaces 13 and 14 to each other. During the punching operation for the section forming the cover, the cover is torn or cut along dashed lines which form weakening contours and which delimit a flap zone and a tear-off strip 18.

The flap zone 17} which is essentially rectangular,

209808/1104

is through the edge 19, which the upper Bacis surface 12 and the large side surface 14, which is not visible in FIG. 1, is shared by two QErliniön 20, which from the edge 19 on the top surface and over a Part of the side face opposite the edge 19 extend, and finally through one to the edge 19 parallel line 21 bounded, which connects the ends of the lines 20 and extends on one side substantially up to the edge common to the two surfaces 1J and 14 extends.

The tearable strip 18 is on the surface 14 through the line 21 and through another dashed line, parallel Line 21a extending to line 21 as well as delimited by an extension 20a of one of the lines 20. The part protruding in relation to the flap zone 17 of the strip 18 ends in a tongue 18a, the contour of which is precut and which protrudes slightly outwards, so that it can be easily grasped between the thumb and forefinger.

To open the box, it is sufficient to close the tongue 18a until the strip 18 has been completely separated draw. There are by then the so released edge or envelope 21 of the flap zone 17 is gripped Lines of weakness 20 up to the edge 19 are preferred.

In Fig. 2 the box of Fig. 1 is shown after this operation has been carried out, which allows the uncovering of the sugar cubes 22 and the clearing or opening of the ¹ flap 17 which pivots about the edge 19 which serves as a hinge.

In order to close the box again, it is sufficient to fold the head 17 down again against the surface 14 and to guide the area 17a forming an edge fold to the inside of the wall 14a of the base 10; the pressure of the edge envelope 17a against this wall is sufficient to hold the flap in its closed position and thus to ensure that the contents of the box remain open during the entire period of use.

IJn. easier insertion of the edge flap 17a against | ensure the inner surface of the wall 14a when the ill ^ jjjyü su is closed, the lines 20 can be such Contour that the edge envelope 17a for example has the shape of a trapezoid.

The arrangements, an embodiment of which has been described, may be used in a configuration other than in FIG The boxes arranged in the manner shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can be used. In Figure 3, a variant of the invention is shown in which the box auD is formed from a single section, the lateral connection of which is formed by gluing the side wall 34 adjacent to the top base J2 of the box ™ against an inner side wall 34a, which is continuous with the lower base surface 39 of the box is formed, is made.

The box is shown in Fig.3 before the introduction of its contents by the small side surface which is limited by edge envelopes 40, which are subsequently joined and glued.

The gluing of the surface 34 against the inner wall 34a

- 7 -209808/11 OA ^ß

takes place by means of an adhesive strip 35 ₅ which is deeper ¹ than the tear-off strip 38 is arranged. The flap zone 37 and the tear-off strip 38 are arranged essentially in the same way as in the case of the box of FIG.
