DE2910329C2 - Collective packaging for packing goods containers or the like - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a collective packaging for packing containers of goods or the like Can be used as a sales package according to the preamble of the patent claim.

Collective packaging is used to protect and hold together containers of goods, for example consisting of tin cans, boxes or the like during transport. For reasons of rationalization It has become commonplace, especially in self-service shops, directly from the aforementioned goods in the collective packaging in which they are delivered or to sell them in the collective packaging offer, this of course to give the customer a look at the goods and especially the To enable access, it must be torn open or cut open. The use of bulk packaging, which are also suitable as shop packaging in the manner described above Work area “filling up” of self-service shops or the like, with goods in empty spaces is refilled, performance increases of 300 to 400%. Large structures with sales packages are also very time-saving compared to the traditional shelf structure and can also be under The use of combined bulk and sales packages is much more stable than the free one Stacking of single packs. Also the stacking of goods that have not been sold as well as the return transport to the warehouse are associated with noticeably less work and costs.

The previously known shop packaging usually consists of rectangular ones that are closed on six sides Cardboard boxes that are cut open with a cardboard knife or by tearing open lengthways marked perforations or finally by tearing off tear strips in the desired sales packaging can be transferred. The falling over or shifting of the individual packs on the shelf is caused by remaining parts of the carton side walls The perforations of the known collective packaging of the type described are prevented however, it is often very difficult to tear open, so that the dealer usually reaches for the carton to pick up the carton can be separated more quickly, but the goods inside, i.e. the individual packs, are often damaged can be. The easy-to-use tear strips are costly to manufacture and Attachment and are therefore not used on a large scale. Another disadvantage of the known Collective packaging consists in that the six-sided closed by the usual flap gluing Cartons result in torsion-resistant collective packaging that is easy to transport, however, the packaging material costs are relatively high. The boxes themselves deliver very bulky waste material, if they are separated or cut open at the place of use, because they are due to the gluing of the flaps are difficult to fold. Because the cardboard boxes are used in the well-known general store packaging In addition, if the goods are usually tight around the goods, the customer has difficulties finding the first Remove packs from the opened cardboard boxes serving as sales packaging.

From DE-OS 29 04 055 (earlier application) is already a collective packaging of the aforementioned Art known that a cheaper packaging than by means of the previously known six-sided closed Cardboard boxes ensure quick handling and easy-to-dispose of waste, whereby both reliable transport, good manageability and good security against the The goods or individual packs fall over during transport and when stacking in self-service shops or the like are guaranteed and the pack also with its tray-like bottom part can be used as a display after peeling off the peripheral wall. The perimeter wall is on this one Collective packaging open at the top and bottom and tightly encloses the vertical side surfaces of the goods container, wherein the peripheral edge of the bottom part in turn the lower edge region of the peripheral wall tightly encloses. By setting the frictional engagement between the peripheral edge of the base part accordingly and the lower edge portion of the peripheral wall is ensured that when applied laterally Pressure forces on the peripheral wall easy transport, at the same time reliable, without the danger a falling of the bottom part and the goods container supported on it is guaranteed, on the other hand but with vertical tensile stress on the circumferential wall this slightly out of the circumferential edge of the Bottom part can be pulled out, whereupon the individual packs can be easily removed remain on the bottom part.

The collective packaging according to DE-OS 29 04 055 has proven itself in principle, but there is the presentation of individual packs in the department store or the like is a need, an aesthetically stronger one to achieve an appealing display effect.

From DE-GM 19 72 458, for example, a packaging box is already known in which a number prismatic chocolate bars or the like are covered by a lid for display purposes

10

can be folded up, however, it is necessary to carry out various manipulations on the lid, in particular, the known collective packaging is only suitable for prismatic individual packs of the described type is suitable

The invention is therefore based on the object of providing collective packaging of the type mentioned at the beginning that can also be used as a visually appealing display.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features listed in the characterizing part of the patent claim solved

The collective packaging according to the invention gives the possibility of simply lifting the one-sided Upper part from the clamping connection between the peripheral edge of the bottom part and the goods container the same fold up and set up easily by bending along the intended bending line and thus as To be able to use the display.

Since the collective packaging according to the invention has only three wall sections in its upper part, namely the cover part and the two side parts, is first of all a considerable saving in material compared to the previously common type of packaging, in which the cardboard boxes are glued together with flaps Compared to the collective packaging according to the invention, up to 40% higher packaging material costs arise, because a lot of material is wasted when punching the known tab blanks. Of the smooth tray bottom of the bottom part forms with the jo Collective cover according to the invention a good transport option, since no tabs protrude and the sharply cut, vertically protruding peripheral edge provides greater stacking stability during transport than with normal cardboard boxes. It is particularly advantageous that the inventive Handle bulk packaging due to the tight press fit of the peripheral edge of the bottom part and can be stacked, as long as pressure forces acting essentially horizontally on the peripheral edge or on the side parts of the upper part are exercised, while at the point of use a slight peeling off of the Upper part is possible through vertically applied tensile forces.

What is decisive, however, for the advantages which the τ> Collective packaging according to the invention brings with it that the top is excellent at the point of sale itself can be used as a display wall. For this it is only necessary to remove the upper part after pulling it out at least one of its side parts from the> o peripheral edge of the bottom part, using the To erect stiffeners, whereupon one for example on the inside of the Upper part of the intended sales presentation for the customer is visible. Is it the 5> Stiffening devices, as in a preferred embodiment of the invention in that already set out Way provided to set crease lines, which are parallel to the exposed side surfaces of the upper part of the goods container run, the erection ω of the upper part can be accomplished in the simplest way by that the cover part and the two side parts of the upper part, which are related, first of all in a substantially flat shape are folded, whereupon the flange parts laterally of the Sollknickli- b5 nien essentially bent by about 90 ° relative to the plane of the rest of the upper part and then in their lower area between the container and the peripheral edge of the bottom part are clamped. In this way, the protruding flanges secure the upright upper part against kinking, see above that a visually favorable sales presentation is possible

Of course, in the case of the collective packaging according to the invention, the other from the DE-OS 29 04 055 known measures are applied accordingly.

The invention is explained in detail below with reference to the drawing

F i g. 1 in a perspective view of goods packaged by means of a collective packaging according to the invention Depiction;

F i g. 2 the collective packaging of F i g. 1 in the transport state, also seen in perspective, wherein the top part is pulled out of the bottom part; and

F i g. 3 the collective packaging of F i g. 2, with the goods container shown schematically in accordance with Fig.!. In presentation position.

As the drawing reveals, the collective packaging according to the invention has to be packed a container 10, which, for example, from a large number of rectangular individual boxes or the like may consist of an upper part 14, which in the transport state of the collective packaging, as from Figs. 1 and 2 can be seen in the manner along two opposing upper edges of the container is bent, that the thereby arranged vertically opposite side parts of the upper part 14 extend to the lower edge of the goods container, while the top surface is formed by the top part of the upper part 14 connecting the two side parts is covered. Furthermore, the collective packaging has in the manner shown in the drawing Base part 20, which consists of a package base 22 and a circumferential edge protruding therefrom 24 exists. Finally, the drawing shows that the upper part 14 is parallel along the Longitudinal edges with intended folding lines 26 running towards the side surfaces of the goods container 10 that remain free is provided, which to form lateral flange parts 28, such as F i g. 3 shows, if necessary, compared to the plane of the smoothly folded upper part 14 can be bent.

To pack a container 10 by means of the collective packaging according to the invention, in the Way proceeded that first the lower area of the goods container in the from F i g. 1 can be seen Way is tightly surrounded by the peripheral edge 24 of the bottom part 20. Then in the from F i g. 1 and 2 also visible manner, the upper part 14 folded over the container 10, the ends of the upper part 14 at the lower edge of the side surfaces to be covered of the container 10 between the Peripheral edge 24 and the container 10 are clamped. The one completed in this way Packaging as shown in FIG. 1 or 2 is shown, can be easily transported, whereby it is ensured that when lateral compressive forces are applied to the side parts of the upper part 14 or to the base part 20 even the collective packaging does not fall apart.

At the place of use, the upper part 14 is then made in the manner shown in FIG. 3 apparent way erected, being after Unfolding the upper part 14 into one plane, the flange parts 28 using the intended folding lines 26 bent and then clamped between the peripheral edge 24 and the container 10

will. The upper part then reliably remains in the position shown in FIG. 3, with one on its inside provided sales presentation, label or the like clear to the viewer is recognizable.

For this purpose 2 sheets of drawings
