The blank has a substantially rectangular shape and is formed in this embodiment of cardboard. However, the blank may be formed of a comparable foldable material, such as a plastic sheet. The cut 1 This embodiment is designed to package 12 beer cans with a volume of 500 ml arranged in three rows of four cans each. The cut 1 includes a rectangular bottom wall surface 2 which is located approximately halfway along the length of the blank. A pair of beveled wall surfaces 4 is with the opposite end edges of the bottom wall surface 2 each along the fold lines 3 connected. When the blank is erected in a box, then the beveled wall surfaces become 4 at an angle with respect to the bottom wall surface 2 arranged. The angle of inclination of each bevelled wall surface 4 is designed to match the shape of each can to be packed in the box. A pair of lower end flaps 6 is each along the fold lines 5 with the sloping wall surfaces 4 connected. When the cut 1 is erected in a box, then extend the lower end flaps 6 towards a ceiling wall surface 15 , which will be described below.

At the opposite side edges of the bottom wall surface 2 is a pair of rectangular side panels 8A and 8B provided. These side panels are along the fold lines 7 respectively. 7 with the bottom wall surface 2 connected. Each side panel is at its opposite end edges with side end flaps 10A and 10B provided. These end flaps 10A and 10B are along the fold lines 9 connected to the respective side wall surface. The length of each end flap 10A and 10B along an imaginary line perpendicular to the length of the blank is approximately 57% of the width of the associated side panel along the length of the blank. The side end flaps 10A and 10A generally have a rectangular shape. Each side end flap 10A includes a vertically extending tear strip 11 to tear open the box wall to access the box contents. Each side end flap 10A further comprises a pair of inclined wall surfaces 13A and 13B that go along the fold lines 12 respectively. 12 are connected. The side end flaps 10B and 10B on the other hand, they have a generally trapezoidal shape.

At the side edge of the side panel 8A that of the fold line 7 is opposite, is a first top wall surface 15 provided while at the side edge of the side wall surface 8B that of the fold line 7 opposite, a second ceiling wall surface 15B is provided. These ceiling panels 15A and 15B are along the fold lines 14 respectively. 14 with the side panels 8A and 8B connected. The ceiling wall surface 15A similar to the bottom wall surface 2 a rectangular shape. The first ceiling wall surface 15A is at the opposite end edges with bevelled wall surfaces 17A and 17A provided. These beveled wall surfaces 17A are along the fold lines 16 respectively. 16 with the ceiling wall surface 15A connected. A pair of upper end flaps 19A and 19A are with the beveled wall surfaces 17A and 17A along the fold lines 18 respectively. 18 connected. The upper end flaps 19A are designed to move towards the bottom wall surface 2 to extend when the blank 1 is erected in a box.

Around the center of the ceiling wall surface 15A runs a pair of tear lines 20 and 20 Side by side at a distance. These tear lines 20 and 20 extend almost completely over the top wall 15A , The ends of the tear lines 20 however, are from the adjacent fold lines 16 spaced. The tear lines 20 and 20 are arranged and shaped symmetrically about an imaginary longitudinal centerline of the top panel 15A to be. Every tear line 20 has a bent or curved section 21 midway between their opposite ends. A finger opening 22 is between the curved sections 21 and 21 the tear lines 20 and 20 defines, allowing a user's fingers in the opening 22 can be introduced to carry the box. At the ends of each tear line 20 are C-shaped cutouts 20A provided to accidentally crack the ceiling panel 15A to avoid. A fold line 23 starts at every C-shaped cut 20A and extends to the adjacent corner of the top panel 15A , These fold lines 23 serve a uniform deformation of the top wall 15A to effect when the box is carried by a carrying handle, which will be described below.

A carrying handle 25 is at its opposite ends with the upper end flaps 19A and 19A along mutually aligned, spaced fold lines 24 and 24 connected. The carrying handle 25 is generally C-shaped, extending along the free side edge 28A the first ceiling panel 15A and is along a tear line 27 associated with its opposite ends in Direction of the ceiling wall surface 15A are curved. Every fold line 24 is at the outer end of the associated upper end flap 19A arranged. The fold lines 24 run parallel to the fold line 14 between the side wall surface 8A and the ceiling panel 15A , The positions of the fold lines 14 are designed so that when the carrying handle 25 180 ° along the fold lines 24 folded, part of the handle 25 within the finger opening 22 can be seen.

In particular, in this embodiment, the fold lines 24 from the free side edge 28A in the direction of the fold line 14 added. In this arrangement, less material is required than in a conventional arrangement, wherein the fold lines 24 aligned with the free side edge of a ceiling wall surface. The length of each fold line 24 is about 70% of the width of the associated partial end panel 19A ,

The carrying handle 25 includes a main handle 29 integral with the aforementioned ends 26 and 26 is formed, and a reinforcing grip or reinforcing strip 31 , which is parallel to the main handle 29 runs and over a tear line 30 connected to this. The main grip 29 and the reinforcing strip 31 generally have the same width. When the reinforcement strip 31 along the partial tear line 30 folded by 180 °, then the handles or strips 29 and 31 brought into an area-touching relationship. Then the carrying handle 25 along the fold lines 24 and 24 folded, leaving the middle section of the handle 25 within the finger opening 22 is free. In addition, the carrying handle points 25 fold lines 32 and 33 on that with the fold lines 16 respectively. 18 are aligned.

The second ceiling wall surface 15B is configured, to the underside of the first ceiling wall surface 15A to be glued. The width of the second ceiling wall surface 15B is about 40% of the width of the first ceiling panel 15A so that the free side edge 28B the second ceiling wall surface 15B in fit with one of the tear lines 20 the first ceiling panel 15A is arranged when the box is erected. A score 34 is at a central location along the free side edge 28B educated. This notch 34 is designed to fit in with part of the finger opening 22 to be arranged when erecting a box so that it does not open the finger 22 blocked. The first and second ceiling panels 15A and 15B have the same length. A pair of beveled wall surfaces 17B and 17B is with the opposite end edges of the second top panel 15B along the fold lines 16 and 16 connected, and a pair of second ceiling flaps 19B and 19B is along the fold lines 18 and 18 with the sloping wall surfaces 17B and 17B connected. The beveled wall surfaces 17B and 17B are designed, in terms of the second ceiling wall surface 15A be inclined so that the angle of inclination of each beveled wall surface 17B the shape of each box to be packaged in the box speaks ent. The second upper end flaps 19B and 19B are designed to move towards the bottom wall surface 2 to extend in an erected box.

A secondary handle or secondary strip 36 is along the free side edge 28B the second ceiling wall surface 15 provided and this extends between the sloping wall surfaces 17B and 17B , The secondary strip 3b is at its opposite ends with the sloping wall surfaces 17B and 17B along the fold lines 35 and 35 connected. The secondary strip 36 has a width that is generally the width of each handle or strip 29 and 31 equivalent. When the carrying handle 25 is brought into the folded position and the second ceiling wall surface 15B to the underside of the first ceiling panel 15A is glued, then the secondary strip 36 in a surface-touching relationship with the handle 25 brought to form a three-ply handle. If desired, however, the secondary strip may 36 be omitted.

A network or web 38 is provided to connect between each side end flap and the adjacent upper or lower end flap, and this is with an opening 37 designed to prevent accumulation of material at the respective box corner when the box is erected.

To build up the in 1 Turning to box C shown, it can be seen that the blank 1 a sequence of sequential folding and fastening operations must be performed, which can be performed in a rectilinear machine, so that it is not necessary to rotate or invert the box to complete their construction. The folding process is not limited to the folding process described below and may be modified according to specific manufacturing requirements.

The first step is to apply glue to the inside of the main handle 29 or the reinforcing grip or reinforcing strip 31 applied. The reinforcing strip 31 is then along the partial tear line 30 on the inside of the main handle or main strip 29 folded. Adhesive is then applied to the opposite end portions of the reinforcing strip 31 applied, and the handles or strips 29 and 31 or the carrying handle 25 be around the fold lines 24 and 24 folded at an angle of 180 °. Thus, the opposite end portions of the carrying handle become 25 on the insides of the upper end flaps 19A and 19A attached and the middle section of the carrying handle 25 is brought to the position where this within the finger opening 22 is free.

The next step is to apply glue to the respective outer sides of the second top panel 15B , the second upper end flaps 19B and 19B and the secondary strip 36 apply and cut 1 to manipulate such that the first ceiling panel 15A on the outside of the second ceiling wall surface 15B is brought. Thus, the blank becomes 1 transformed into a flat tubular structure. The flat tubular blank is then expanded by the wall surfaces 2 . 8A . 8B . 15A and 15B along the fold lines 7 . 7 . 14 and 14 be folded, leaving the side panels 8A and 8B be separated to take spaced opposite positions. This results in the formation of an upright tubular structure consisting of the top and bottom panels and the side panels 18A and 18B is formed, as well as the formation of a three-ply handle, as this is best 2 can be removed. Articles, such as cans, are then loaded into the tubular box over one or both of its opposite open ends. Subsequently, the upper and lower end flaps 19A . 19B and 6 at the opposite ends of the tubular structure are folded into vertical positions, after which the side end flaps 10B be folded in their respective closed positions inward. Adhesive is applied to the upper and lower end flaps 19A ; 19B and 6 and the side end flaps 10B applied and then the side end flaps 10A folded in their closed positions, leading to the in 1 shown finished box C leads.

Like yourself 1 is the composite ceiling wall 15 from the first and second ceiling panels 15A and 15B formed and with a finger opening 22 provided. With the handles or stripes 29 . 31 and 36 that the carrying handle 25 is the top handle or strip or reinforcing strip 31 not on the inside or underside of the ceiling wall 15 glued, but is merely in contact with this. Therefore, if the upper end flaps 19A and 19B in which their closed positions are folded, then the tautness of the handle becomes 25 along the composite ceiling wall 15 diminished, so as a result the carrying handle 25 passing through the ceiling wall 15 or the ceiling panels 15A and 15B is not limited, becomes loose and the middle section of the handle 25 bends upwards and through the finger opening 22 projects. Thus, the middle portion of the handle bends 25 upwards over the ceiling wall 15 in a use position, with a hand space under the handle 25 a user is readily available.

In the 4 to 6 the second embodiment according to the present invention is shown. The same reference numerals will be used for the same parts of the first embodiment, and only the differences between the first embodiment and the second embodiment will be described in more detail below. 6 shows a blank 1A from which the box according to the second embodiment is constructed. As in the first embodiment, the blank has 1A a carrying handle 25A with a three-layered structure that has a main handle or main strip 29 , a reinforcing strip or reinforcing strip 31 and a secondary handle or secondary strip 36 includes. The first ceiling wall surface 15A of the blank 1A is at its central area with a pair of laterally spaced tear lines 20 and 20 deployed in the environments of each slanted wall surface 17A extend. Every tear line 20 has a curved or curved intermediate section 21A on. The curved sections 21A and 21A the tear lines 20 and 20 are concavely bent towards each other to a finger opening in between 22A define. The distance between the curved portions is greater than that between the curved portions according to the previous embodiment. The free side edge 28B the second ceiling wall surface 15B has a notch 34A on, which is formed along there. The size of the notch 34A is also bigger than the notch 34 according to the previous embodiment.

The carrying handle 25A further comprises an outer handle or outer strip 41 coming from the first ceiling panel 15A is trained. The outer strip 41 extends longitudinally over the finger opening 22A and is at its opposite ends with the top wall surface 15A along the tear lines 40 and 40 connected. The outer strip 41 is on the top or bottom of the reinforcing strip 31 arranged on the top or bottom of the main handle or main strip 29 is glued. The outer strip 41 includes a rectangular handle or strip body 42 that's right on the reinforcing strip 31 is arranged, as well as a pair of pillow flaps 44 and 44 that go along the fold lines 43 and 43 with the strip body 42 are connected. These cushion flaps 44 and 44 Then, when the carrying handle is gripped, fold along the fold lines 43 and 43 folded down to over the side edges of the handles or strips 29 . 31 and 36 to be arranged and thus to prevent the fingers of a user directly against the sei tenkanten be pressed. The outer parts of the box are substantially identical to those according to the first embodiment and therefore will not be described in detail. It can be seen, however, that the reinforcing strip 31 can be omitted or along the underside of the main handle or main strip 29 can be arranged as the outer strip 41 the uncoated side of the main handle or main strip 29 can cover.

The process of erecting a box from the blank 1A also substantially corresponds to that according to the first embodiment. However, the following describes how the outer strip 41 to handle, as well as its function.

During the construction of a box CA (see 4 ) becomes the reinforcing strip 31 at least partially to the underside of the outer strip 41 glued. The reinforcing strip 31 that is in contact with the underside of the first ceiling panel 15A but not from the ceiling 15 limited. In other words: only connections between the handle 25A and the ceiling wall 15 be through the tear lines 40 and 40 provided. If therefore the carrying handle 25A in the direction of in 5 drawn arrow is pulled up, then the outer strip 41 from the ceiling wall 15 along the tear lines 40 and 40 separated. In this way, the carrying handle 25A completely out of any restriction by the ceiling wall 15 solved. This allows a user to easily access the middle section of the carrying handle 25A through the finger opening 22 while loosening or playing the handle 25A which has already been made available. The pulled out section of the carrying handle 25A can create a bow like _{this one} in 5 is shown, with a hand space under the handle 25A the user is readily available.

In 7 the third embodiment of the invention is shown, which can be used with a box blank. In this embodiment, the number of handles forming the handle is two instead of three, as in the case of the second embodiment. The remaining structure of the box according to the third embodiment is substantially identical to that of the second embodiment. The same reference numerals will be used for the same parts of the second embodiment, and only the differences between the second embodiment and the third embodiment will be described in more detail below.

In 7 points the box blank 1B a carrying handle 25B on, the one main handle or main strip 29 and a reinforcing strip 31 includes. The carrying handle 25B is not with a secondary handle or secondary strip 36 provided as was the case in the first and second embodiments. Therefore, the lower end edge 28B of the blank 1B completely free of any box elements. The cut 1B differs further from the blanks according to the previous embodiments in that it does not have a C-shaped punched 20A is formed at each end of the tear lines 20 and 20 provided in the previous embodiments. The remaining structure of the box is virtually identical to that of the second embodiment.

It should be readily apparent that the reinforcement handle or reinforcement strip 31 can be omitted or to the underside of the main handle or main strip 29 can be glued. One should also realize that the second ceiling panel 15B can be replaced by a smaller wall surface, which merely serves as a glue flap, which would lead to a reduction of the material costs of the box.

The process of erecting a box from the in 7 illustrated blank 1B also substantially corresponds to that of the second embodiment, except that the process for erecting the blank 1B not the steps of manipulating a secondary handle or secondary strip 3b includes. The box according to the third embodiment can be used to package lightweight articles, those having less weight than articles packed in the box according to the second embodiment.

you recognizes that the directions used herein, such as "blanket", "floor", "end", "side", "top" and "bottom", do not denote the respective wall surfaces to limit such orientation, but only to do so serve, these wall surfaces to distinguish from each other. Any reference to a hinged Connection should not be construed to be necessary refers to a single fold line. In fact, it is conceivable that an articulated connection of one or more of the following Lines can be formed without departing from the scope of the invention to leave: a score line, a break line or a fold line.

It should be appreciated that numerous changes can be made within the scope of the present invention. For example, the size and shape of the panels and the openings can be adjusted to To accommodate items of a different size or shape, and alternative ceiling and bottom closure structures may be used.
