Abstract

A deep drawn box, for packaging compact articles, esp. medicinal bottles, comprises adjacent elements, pref. of PVC, joined together at their edges and of various shapes, having implicit internal supports. During the packing operation, the elements are folded over one another to contain the article. Pref., edge grooves in the elements engage one another when the box is closed.

Description

Box for packaging compact molded parts is the subject of the invention is a collapsible, multi-part box made of deep-drawn material for Acceptance of compact molded parts of all kinds, for example Elasc1en, in particular Medicine bottles.

It is known, profile parts made of deep-drawn material, in particular Plastic films to be used as packaging. This is how, for example, medicine bottles are made held in a deep-drawn part and together with the associated enclosures such as Instructions for use etc. in a cardboard box or in a plastic box as outer packaging inserted. However, such a packaging process is time-consuming because the packaging components are separate must be taken from separate storage boxes and the outer packaging in the As a rule, before inserting the pack components, they must first be opened. at Such packaging materials require a lot of storage space because they are deep-drawn parts and outer packaging must be stored separately and the outer packaging often is not stackable. These disadvantages are intended to be remedied by the invention.

The invention relates to a box made of deep-drawn material for packaging compact molded parts, which is marked by several adjacent and connected to each other. attached to the edges differently shaped elements that are stacked on top of each other in the course of the packaging process can be folded.

Such a packaging offers compared to the packaging known since then significant benefits. Personnel costs and material costs can be saved. The packaging material is part of the packaging according to the invention in unfolded form for the immediate reception of the shaped bodies to be packaged before. The. The packaging according to the invention can be folded open with almost no space be stacked. If the need arises, the box can be placed directly on a conveyor belt are manufactured.

A particularly useful embodiment of the invention The illustration shows a box consisting of three elements. The material used in in this case a crystal clear plastic film. In the picture represent: Figure 1 shows the box in the opened state, FIG. 2 shows a section through the opened state Box, Figure 3 shows a section through the box in the folded state along the same line.

The individual elements are marked A, B and C in the illustration.

In this exemplary case, element A is used for recording a label to be inserted, which hangs through the crystal clear plastic film it can be. In addition, this floor contains enough space for accommodation of notices such as package inserts or used items from folded items Paper. To secure the element B above it against sliding off, there are two Bars (1) provided. The labels and messages are in a recess (2), making it impossible to slip.

When folded, element A forms the bottom of the box.

The element B serves in this case to receive the shaped body, e.g. a bottle. It contains a recess that is shaped like the one to be recorded Body is adapted. Lugs (5) are attached to hold the body (4). To the To facilitate removal of the body when unpacking, two indentations can be made in serve the raised side walls (6).

When the box is folded, element B represents one Insert that comes to lie between the bottom and the lid.

The element C forms the lid of the folded state Box. It can protect against mechanical damage through a groove profile on the side walls (7) Stress can be stabilized. To ensure that the box is tightly closed, it contains a groove (8) on the outer edge, which is inserted into a corresponding groove (9) on the Element B engages. It is also useful to have a Indentation (14 can be made for attaching a fingernail.

When Beschicl., Ung the packaging in the sense of this example First insert the label and the package insert into the recess (2) of the element A inserted. Then the element B is by turning 1800 over the element A. succeeded. By placing the short side walls of element B on the strips (1) The lower part of the box is tightly closed.

The shaped body (bottle) (4) is then placed in the recess {3) of the element B inserted. Finally, by rotating the element S C by 180 °, it becomes over the two other elements folded and the box by engaging the grooves (8) and (9) locked.

The invention is not limited to the embodiment described here limited. Depending on the intended use, appropriate boxes consist of only two or more than three elements, you can fc - 'rner Serve for packaging one as well as a large number of moldings. These shaped bodies can in turn be the same, but also different, for example can put an ampoule, an ampoule file and a disposable syringe in one accordingly assembled box can be packed.

All deep-drawable materials are suitable as material for the manufacture of the box Materials such as metal, cardboard or *) Polyvinyl chloride is preferably used. The strength of the material to be deep-drawn depends on the mechanical required Strength of the box. As a rule, this will be provided as far as the packaging is concerned small medicine bottles in plastic boxes, film thicknesses of about 400-500 µm are suitable, but can be used for packaging larger and heavier moldings also larger, for packaging particularly small moldings, also smaller film thicknesses come into play.
