Abstract

The food package has a cover which can be clamped, fixed by adhesive or welded on. The edge of the cover is drawn upwards over a part of its circumference towards a mainly vertical cover wall (11), takes up between 1/4 and 3/4, but preferably 1/3 to 2/3 of the circumference of the cover. The package has a concave shaped front with a complementary convex shaped rear which have slightly different heights. The surface of the cover (3) is slightly lower than the upper front edge of that section of the cover which lies opposite.

Description

description

The invention relates to a package with a clampable, glued-on or a cover that can be welded on, especially for foodstuffs and luxury foods. She concerns also a packaging for food and luxury items with a concave front wall and complementary convex shaped rear wall, the slightly different heights as well as with a clip-on that protrudes on all sides beyond its circumferential wall, adhesive or weldable sealing lids.

Such packaging is already known from DE-AS 2,219,741. Due to the different heights of opposing walls, for example as The protruding edge of the lid is to be referred to as the front and rear walls on the back wall of the packaging higher than on the front wall, so that several are the same shaped packaging can be pushed relatively close to one another, in each case the edge of the lid protruding beyond the front wall of a subsequent packaging the edge of the lid protruding over the rear wall of a previous packaging engages. As a result, such packaging can be largely shift-free and close to one another be pushed.

When assembling such packaging in cardboard boxes that go with them Transport are known to be necessary, there are also solid formations of each other non-sliding packaging, so that one can be easier and damage free transportable compact units.

A disadvantage of the known packaging is that the lid forms an inclined plane due to the different heights of the front and rear wall, which at least makes the stacking of such packaging more difficult. It is true that one can second layer of such packaging possibly still without slipping on a first Position, however, when a third layer is stacked, the packaging comes out inevitably slips and the pile falls apart.

It is therefore an object of the invention to provide one over the prior art to create improved packaging that has an additional display area and the narrow and both in the horizontal direction and in the vertical direction is safely stackable.

A package of the type mentioned at the beginning serves to solve this problem Type, which is characterized in that the lid edge in a partial area its circumference is pulled up to a substantially vertical top wall.

This creates an additional display area, which in particular is clearly visible when the packaging is placed on shelves at eye level.

The cover wall preferably takes 1/4 to 3/4, in particular 1/3 up to 2/3 of the lid circumference. This creates a good hold at the same time Packaging achieved that is nevertheless easy to nest and dismantle are.

The invention also relates to a package with a concave shape Front wall and complementary convex rear wall, which are slightly different Have heights, as well as with one that protrudes on all sides over the surrounding wall clamp-on, glue-on or weld-on closure lid, which thereby is characterized in that the standing with the edge of the higher wall in locking engagement Lid edge area as the lid wall of the closure lid on the inside of this higher one Wall is pulled down and merges into a horizontal top surface.

As a result, a horizontal top surface is achieved on which a subsequent Packaging can be placed untilted.

A stack of packages placed on top of one another gives way to horizontal The bottom packaging set up does not fall off the vertical, so that the stack does not slip by itself.

Another advantage of the invention is that the pulled down Lid wall designed as a display surface, in particular at approximately eye level The packaging placed on the usual shelves of the retail trade is easily recognizable.

The cover wall is therefore excellent for receiving an information carrier suitable.

Another advantage of the invention is that the pulled down Lid wall together with the rear edge of the closure lid on the rear wall of the Packaging exerts a clamping effect when the front edge of the closure lid in is bent up in the usual way to open such packaging.

As a result, the closure cap does not jump in an uncontrolled manner from the packaging, but stands after it has been lifted off the front wall and the side walls still engaged with the rear wall.

The top surface is preferably slightly lower than that of the rear edge opposite front edge of the closure cap.

According to a development of the invention, the walls of the taper Packing downwards so that the circumference of the surrounding wall in the area of the The bottom of the packaging is smaller than the circumference of the inner edge of the lid. Thereby are the packaging according to the invention with their bottom each in the closure lid an underlying packaging can be used, with the one encompassing the surrounding wall The edge of the lid secures a packaging standing on the top surface against slipping.

According to a further embodiment of the invention is on the pulled down Cover wall a frame holder is provided for the insertion of information carriers or inscription labels. The inscription labels or the information carriers are simply inserted from above into the U-shaped frame bracket as seen from the front wall plugged in. This means that, on the one hand, there are different information carriers at the easily visible cover wall, or there can be labels on the other hand can be easily attached when the contents of the package, in particular in household use, should be specially marked.

Instead of such fastening means can be pulled down on the Cover wall a surface should be provided, the lettering compound, such as ink or pencil abrasion, records.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to figures; The figures show: FIG. 1 a perspective illustration of an individual packaging according to the invention with sealing cover; Figure 2 shows a section through the closure cover along the Line II-II from Figure 1; FIG. 3 shows a further development of the invention with a frame holder for an information carrier; FIG. 4 shows a section through the closure cover along the line IV-IV from FIG. 3.

FIG. 5 shows a section through another embodiment of the closure cover.

Figure 1 shows a package with a concavely curved front wall 7 and correspondingly convexly curved opposite wall 8 and with the front wall 7 and the wall 8 connecting flat side walls. The top of the wall 8 is something higher than the upper edge of the front wall 7, so that the can 1 thus formed one has the upper edge lying in an inclined plane. The latter is best based on the dash-dotted representation of the can 1 in Figure 2 can be seen. The higher wall is referred to as rear wall 8 in the following.

The front wall 7, rear wall 8 and forming a circumferential wall connecting side walls run towards the bottom 9 of the can 1 towards something so that the circumference of the can 1 in the area of its bottom 9 is less than at its upper edge.

A closure lid 2 is clamped onto the upper edge of the can 1, whose lid edge area or rear edge 4 is the rear wall 8 and its front edge 5 overlaps the front wall 7.

The edge of the sealing lid is used for secure clamping onto the can on the outside of the can 1 pulled down a little along its circumference. At the area drawn down on the outside is closed by a narrow flange 6 at. To the secure clamping on the upper edge of the can 1 is the Closure lid 2 also in the interior of the can 1 with the formation of a recess pulled down, at the rear edge 4 lower than the front edge 5, so that at the rear edge 4, a cover wall 11 which merges into a cover surface 3 has arisen.

According to the invention, the top wall 11 is preferably so high that the subsequent top surface 3 parallel to the bottom 9 of the can 1, and thus preferably runs horizontally. The closure cap 2 according to the invention thus has the shape a tub in which further packaging can be inserted.

For this purpose, the circumference of the inner edge 10 of the top surface 3 is greater than the can circumference measured in the area of the bottom 9 of the can 1.

It should be noted that the top wall 11 to accommodate a Information carrier is particularly suitable because it has an excellent display effect owns. This is especially true for about eye level on usual retail shelves stacked packaging, the top surface 3 of which is not readily recognizable.

The packaging according to the invention can be made of any material, for example from plastic such as polyethylene, from cardboard, from stiffened wax paper or made of metal.

Figure 2 shows a section through the closure cover 2 along the Line II-II from FIG. 1, the can 1 being indicated by dash-dotted lines. As already mentioned, it can be seen clearly from this figure that the front wall 7 and the Rear wall 8 of the can 1 are of different heights, so that the upper edge of the can 1 forms an inclined plane. The horizontal one can also be seen on the basis of this figure Course of the top surface 3, which starts a little deeper than the front edge 5 and into the Cover surface 11 merges. This leads to a trough-like shape of the closure cover 2, which a further box placed on the top surface 3 provides a secure hold offers. Otherwise, the parts corresponding to FIG. 1 are also shown in this figure the same reference numerals.

FIG. 3 shows a further development of the invention on the top wall 11 arranged frame holder 12 for receiving an information carrier or a label.

The frame holder 12 is seen from the front edge 5 in the view U-shaped, the outer edge of the U-profile being attached to the top wall 11, while its inner edge is slightly raised from the cover wall 11. This allows easy insertion of information carriers or labels from above. It goes without saying, however, to the person skilled in the art, instead of the standing one U-profile to use a lying U-profile as a frame holder 12. It lies also in the knowledge of the skilled person, the frame bracket 12 to the front edge 5 to be covered with a transparent film, so that one of Information carrier inserted at the top or a label is protected can be placed in a bag.

FIG. 4 shows a section through the closure cover according to FIG 3, along the line IV-IV from FIG. 3. Here again, the same parts are used are provided with the same reference numerals, the ones on the cover wall 11 attached frame bracket 12 detects. This is either when the Closure cover 2 molded or subsequently by gluing or welding attached.

The top surface of a glued-on or welded-on lid can are generally at the same level as the upper edge of the front wall 7 of the can 1, so that with such a closure lid no slipping of stacked packages in the direction of the front wall preventing shoulder is present. Such a thing Slipping or shifting, however, is caused by stacks of packaging pushed together prevented.

Figure 5 shows another embodiment of the invention with one on one Usual can 1 'attachable lid 2'. The top edge of the can 1 'is horizontal, so that the verder wall 7 'and the rear wall 8' are the same height. The lid surface 3 is the same as in the embodiments according to FIGS. 2 and 4, with the formation of a display surface pulled up as a cover wall 11. The top wall 11 surrounds 1/3 to 2/3 or 1/4 to 3/4 of the lid edge 6, but these dimensions are not critical. It is only important that the display surface on the cover wall 11 is approximately off the plane of the cover 2 'is clearly visible.

The lid 2 'can also have any shape, for example be rectangular, square or circular when viewed from above. Further it comes does not respond to the frame bracket 12; it can be completely absent or by a other ink, pencil or felt-tip pen receiving surface as in the explanations be replaced according to Figures 2 and 4.
