Description

"Transport and display stands for one-armed packs of goods"

The invention relates to a transport and display stand for egg-shaped packages of goods, in particular upright chocolate eggs.

While display stands for square packs of goods are relatively can be simple, greater difficulties arise when the intention is round or deviating from the rounding, in particular egg-shaped goods packs on the one hand To make it easy to transport and, on the other hand, to keep it in the display so that the transport pack can also be used as a display pack at the same time.

Especially in supermarkets, discount stores or the like. should the temporal Workload for unpacking the goods from the transport container, e.g. a rectangular shipping box, for setting up on the shelves or the like. if possible be low.

The invention is based on the object of a transport and sales display for egg-shaped packaging of goods, which is simple in its structure and without Changes in transport position or in exhibition can be used.

The object is achieved in that, according to the invention, the stand from a triangle-forming, having a bottom wall and two side walls Holder consists, which has recesses adapted to the egg-shaped packaging of goods, through which the package of goods with a holder adapted to its outlines Friction is held and that the support of the bracket on the bottom wall of the Stand up.

The stand which is particularly easy and cheap to manufacture in its structure is nevertheless for the relatively difficult to pack goods, namely an egg-shaped packaging, fully sufficient and secures the individual packs of goods during transport in sufficient Extent, without the constructive and production-wise used for the erector Effort is remarkable.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, there is Stand made from a blank and the bottom wall has at least one width on which the juxtaposition of two packages of goods approximately vertically to the side walls.

It is also possible that the bottom wall-side section of the recesses a projection or the like pointing in the direction of the recesses. having; this Lead or

Like. Should a slipping out of the bottom section in a simple manner the bracket from the stand.

The recess is expediently formed by a one that can be folded into it Flap can be at least partially covered, which in the operative position of the stand is in a perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the side wall position Stiffened stand; the tabs can be in the operative position with their pointing downwards Projections engage holes in the bottom wall.

As mentioned above, there is one for the transport and display stand special holder required for the egg-shaped packaging of goods. This bracket can consist of a frame connected to a base part or section, which one adapted to the outlines of the egg-shaped package of goods, but reduced it Shape and at least one resilient tab or the like that crosses the package of goods. having.

Due to the special shape of the frame of the bracket, it is also possible to display the goods package, e.g. the chocolate egg, so on sales shelves, on sales tables or the like. put up that bracket remains largely invisible, as its frame, at least from the front seen, remains hidden by the packaging of the goods itself.

The frame, the bottom part or section and the tab or the like. the Bracket can be made in one piece from plastic, cardboard or the like. be made.

It is also expedient to use the frame parts or sections of the bracket as thin-walled, resilient stems or the like.

to train. As a result, the insertion of the package of goods into the Bracket or also the removal of the same from this facilitated.

In the bottom part or section of the bracket is expedient one that is adapted to the roundness of the bottom of the pack of goods and has a correspondingly concave curvature Support provided. This support is not the line or Rectangular continuation of the frame part, but the support of the bracket is preferably as one in the bottom part or section facing away from the package Side from pressed out, approximately triangular pedestal or.

Like. Trained.

The frame stems or the like. the bracket are conveniently as the outer outlines of the pack of goods adapting strips or the like. educated. Although, as noted above, the stems are thin-walled, it is particularly convenient to to develop the stems as just stated, i.e. with a certain flat surface to create the packaging of goods.

According to a preferred embodiment, at least one is resilient Tab or the like. on the opposite portion of the bottom part or portion of the Frame attached to the bracket.

Appropriately, on the bottom part or section are opposite Section of the frame of the bracket two parallel, resilient, plate-shaped parts for the inclusion of promotional items or the like. intended. Under promotional items are in this Primarily meaning advertising printed matter, decorative ribbons or the like. to understand.

The plate-shaped parts can on their opposite Areas of small ribs, projections or the like. exhibit.

Preferably, the frame of the holder on the bottom part or -section a nose engaging under the goods package, a projection or the like. on.

A particularly aesthetic and attractive shape for the bracket To obtain, the two-sided edges of the entire frame of the bracket can be a have a shape corresponding to the outlines of the package of goods.

The holder has also proven to be particularly useful to be designed so that it rotates the product package in the operative position.

The drawing shows, for example, embodiments of the invention shown. 1 shows an oblique view of an exemplary embodiment of a Bracket, FIG. 2 shows a view according to line 2-2 in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 shows a view according to Line 3-3 in FIG. 1, FIG. 4 shows an oblique view of part of a device according to the invention Aufstellers and Fig. 5 is a view along line 5-5 in Fig. 4 during insertion a package of goods.

One of a frame 1, a bottom part or section 2, and a resilient tab 3 existing holder for a package of goods, e.g. a chocolate egg or a two-part transparent cover for accommodating those placed in inserts scattered chocolates, is designed so that the chocolate egg is in the holder in an upright position can be clamped or pinched.

The bracket, which has two frame stems 4 and 5, is designed in such a way that that the rear edge 6 of the stems is one of the goods package to be clamped, that is in the present case has a shape adapted to the chocolate egg. The stems are designed so that in the operative position they are flat over a narrow width place on the chocolate egg to be clamped; the stems are thin-walled and therefore yielding or resilient.

The electrode part or section 2 is in cross section - as shown in Fig. 3 can be seen - approximately triangular and has in the sense of a three-point mounting three feet 7, 8, 9 for setting up the bracket. The bottom part has a Support 10 pushed out like a pedestal.

This stock is in turn approximately triangular in cross-section and pushed out from the bottom when producing the holder or been shaped accordingly. The support surface 11 of the pedestal 10 is concave arched and thus adapted to the curve of the chocolate ice cream to be held. The little feet 7, 8, 9 lie on the bottom surface when the egg-shaped packaging is correctly inserted 33; in Fig. 5 the package of goods during insertion is in broken lines shown.

The bracket made entirely of thin-walled plastic is designed so that the front end edge 12 not only in the area the stems, but also in the area of the tab 3 and in the area of the oeteils 2 of the Egg shape of the two pack to be held on - what is.

The wall-like end opposite the bottom part provided resilient tab 3 overlaps in the illustrated embodiment Tip of the chocolate ice cream and thus holds the latter in the active position.

Since on the other hand, the tab 3 and the round Support surface 11 in the platform 10 resulting surfaces opposite, is a rotation of the chocolate ice cream in the active position is easily possible.

The tab 3 has two parallel plate-shaped parts 20 and 21, between which a printed matter 23 made of cardboard, for example, is clamped can be. The plate-shaped parts 20 and 21 point to the opposite one another Areas of rib-like projections 22, which on the one hand provide a firm support for the printed advertising matter inserted between the plate-shaped parts 20 and 21 enable and on the other hand also serve, if necessary, such a printed matter or a similar promotional item to offer a firm hold if this Promotional item has an opening 26 on its insert edge 25.

If, for example, a package of goods consisting of two half-shells, transparent, If a relatively rigid plastic casing is provided, the two half-shells can have mutually adapted overlapping edges and in operative position with whatever Adhesive strips are glued together.

The half-shells contain approximately pie-shaped inserts, which again have indentations corresponding to the outlines of chocolates; in this way you can put the chocolates at a distance from each other in a preselected order individually held in the case.

The support 10 pushed out like a platform can also have a longitudinal slot exhibit; this longitudinal slot takes plate-shaped projections of the in the operative position two half-shells so that they are secured against loosening from each other are.

The stand 30 consisting of a single blank (FIG. 4) is triangular and has two side wall parts 31 and 32, the butt at an angle and on each of which a bottom wall part 33 or 34 is attached.

These wall parts are each by a fold 35, 36 with the corresponding Side wall part connected.

The bottom wall part 34 has at its free edge 37 at a distance from one another provided tabs 38, which in corresponding slots 39 of the bottom wall part 33, in the immediate vicinity of the fold 35, intervene.

By the way just described, the set-up for the Goods packages receptive.

The individual packs of goods are egg-shaped and can a chocolate egg or a transparent plastic shell in the shape of an egg 40. The egg-shaped package of goods is held in a holder of the type described above.

In the side walls 31, 32 recesses 44 and 45 are provided, which are essentially egg-shaped, but in the section facing the bottom wall are cut out differently. The egg-shaped ones are in the section parallel to the floor wall Recesses wider than would be required for the egg shape. They do, however a projection 46 or 47 facing away from the bottom wall; this The projection prevents the egg-shaped package of goods with the holder from slipping out from their position in the stand.

In each case on one side of the recesses 44 and 45 or also at the other egg-shaped recesses are hinged in an area 41, 42 or 43 tabs, most of them as a section from the respective recess are trained. These tabs 50, 51 are therefore assigned to each recess and have a recessed section 52 for easier detection.

The tabs move inwards when you assemble the display pivoted away, with the bulges 53, 54 of the recesses projections 55, 56 arise at the lower edge of the tabs 50.

The projection 55 of the tab 50 engages perpendicularly in one position to the side wall 32 in a slot 60 which is provided in the bottom wall part and extends perpendicular to the edge 59 of the corresponding bottom wall part.

From the mirror image recess in the side wall part 31 is about the fold 43 folded down a corresponding tab in the interior of the Aufs plate and with its projection 61 corresponding to projection 55 in the same slot 60 locked.

This not only ensures that the stand is dimensionally stable, because the side wall parts can practically no longer be pressed in, but will also at the same time prevents the side wall parts from their angular position to one another can change. This is particularly important because the egg-shaped packages of goods are held in the recesses mainly by friction only; in certain circumstances they can still be locked in place with adhesive strips on the stand for transport; then the stand used in a transport box can easily be tilted.

The tab with the fold 42 on the adjacent recess hinged is, engages as a single tab in a shorter slot 62, while from the opposite Recess from no tab is locked in this slot 62.

The tab assigned to the recess 63 is in the area 64 by a Fold connected to the edge of the recess and is accordingly pivoted inward.

The transport and display stand is usually made of cardboard; however, it can also be used without further plastic.
