Carrier for containers

The innovation relates to a carrier made of foldable flat material for containers, especially cylindrical ones Bottles or the like, with a carrier container that can be set up from a one-piece blank and is open at the top, in which a separate carrying and separating insert can be inserted, which consists of two partially interconnected layers of flat material consists of which transverse partition wall sections can be folded out while leaving a central wall for the purpose of formation of individual compartments for the container and also with an upper handle section and fastening tabs on the: Central wall is provided for attachment in the carrier.

In a known carrier, a material saving with increased stability is achieved in that of the previously

customary one-piece cut for the entire carrier is departed. The known carrier consists of at least two foldable blanks / of which the first enables the installation of a conventional, open-top folding box, while a separate carrying and separating insert is inserted into the carrying case and connected to it, preferably through Gluing. The Trag- und TrenneinsätSi preferably consists of two flat, superimposed sections in which transverse wall sections are shaped, which form individual compartments in the carrier when folded down at a right angle. One of those Carrying and separating insert can be pre-assembled, the pre-assembled carrying and separating insert for storage and transport reasons can be brought into the flat state. Only when the insert is brought together with the carrier, the Transverse wall sections folded out of the plane of the central wall to form the individual compartments for the bottles.

The innovation is based on the task of such a Tx-ager to improve further, in particular to give it greater stability.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that two opposite Sides of the bottom portion of the carrier leave a slot to the associated side wall and the fastening tabs a supporting structure protruding downwards over the central wall

have flap which, inserted through the slot, can be folded from below against the bottom portion of the carrier and on this is attachable.

The carrier according to the innovation ensures a particularly good load-bearing capacity of the carrier with the most favorable use of material. This is achieved by the carrying straps which, when the carrying case and carrying and separating insert are connected, are gelated from below against the bottom of the carrying case and are connected to it, preferably by gluing. While in the known carrier the carrying and separating insert is connected to the side walls of the carrier, in the case of the innovation there is an additional connection to the floor, which decisively increases the carrying stability.

The blank of the carrier must provide a slot for the carrier straps on two opposite sides. This can also be achieved in that two opposite sides of the bottom section remain free when cutting, so that when the two support parts are brought together, the carrying straps can easily be stuck between the side wall and the free side of the bottom section.

It is readily possible to use a two-part blank for the supporting and separating ** used to form this substantially epiogelsymmetrisch and for example by bonding superposed to be joined together, a fell excluded

Design of the innovation, however, is particularly advantageous if the support and separation insert is formed from a one-piece blank and the carrying strap is each formed from a layer of the insert. This way is not for the crop more material is required than for use without a carrying strap.

The stability of the container support is improved according to a further * embodiment of the innovation in that the fastening tab is hinged to the end of the central wall and can be connected to the side wall of the container running perpendicular to the central wall, and the fastening tab is partially made with an upper, preferably triangular upward section the carrier protrudes. With the help of such a fastening strap, the central wall in particular is stabilized vertically. According to a further refinement of the innovation, the upper section is partially formed by folding out a part that is punched out in one layer from the center v / and. In addition, the fastening tab is preferably two-ply.

Container supports of the type according to the innovation are often on long Transport vehicles used. You must therefore ensure that the For example, glass containers cannot be damaged or even destroyed by hitting one another during transport. In this context, an embodiment of the innovation provides that the Central wall and the transverse partition wall sections articulated to the central wall in areas / in which they are connected to the container wall

Come into contact, are double-layered. With the help of the double-layer areas, a sufficiently firm buffer is created, which prevents damage to containers even in the event of the strongest impacts. Preferably are each two double-layer areas arranged one above the other at a vertical distance. The areas are preferably in the case of cylindrical containers above and below, so that they cannot hit each other when shaken.

In principle, it is conceivable to glue in additional blanks in order to achieve the aforementioned double layer in certain areas. Such a method would, however, be extremely costly. Therefore, an embodiment of the innovation provides that the double-layer areas in transverse partition wall sections by folding over a tab punched out of the transverse partition wall section is formed on one of the sides of the relevant transverse partition wall section.

The transverse partition wall sections can be folded out from the accompanying wall to form the compartments. They are also preferably connected to one another at the ends by a connecting web in order to simultaneously achieve parallel unfolding and to be able to fix the transverse partition wall sections on the associated side wall. In this context, an embodiment of the innovation provides that the transverse partition wall sections are connected by a T- or double-T-shaped web. Such a training enables

a particularly favorable cut with regard to the wearing and divider set such that said double-layer areas for all transverse divider wall sections and center wall areas are reached can be.

It has already been mentioned that a special training of the blank for the carrier enables the carrier straps to be readily applied from below against the bottom portion of the carrier can be glued. In this context, an embodiment of the innovation provides that the opposite end walls of the carrier container are formed by end wall tabs which are hinged to associated wall sections. This particular one simple execution of a blank for the carrier according to the invention can be improved in that the on one Wall section hinged pair of end wall tabs has a recess on the free side. The one applied to a pair of front wall brackets Glued seam detected when assembling the entire carrier At the same time as the other end wall tabs that are recessed, the fastening tab on the center wall of the support and partition insert.

An alternative embodiment of the innovation to the carrier provides that reinforcement tabs are hinged to the mutually facing sides of the end wall tabs, which are folded from below against the bottom section and connected together with the ti tabs to the bottom section. This construction proves calibrated

especially then as expedient / when it can be expected that Condensation forms on chilled bottles, for example, and this has an adverse effect on the strength of the cardboard comes at the bottom of the carrier.

The containers, for example bottles, can easily be inserted into the compartments of the carrier after the container according to the innovation has been fully set up. However, this insertion is carried out by hand igerweise expedient ⁿ / which means a corresponding time and effort. Therefore, a method for producing a container carrier and for packing containers in the container carrier, in particular a carrier according to the innovation, provides that separately manufactured, flat blanks for a carrier and a carrying and separating insert are fed to a packaging system, the pre-assembled carrier or in the packaging system - and separating insert is unfolded to form compartments and brought together with a container group and then the carrier container blank is unfolded around the arrangement of container group and carrier and separating insert and connected to this. According to a further embodiment, it is particularly advantageous if the unfolded support and separation insert is attached from above onto a group of containers that is kept ready. The previously filled containers, for example beer bottles, arrive in a predetermined group arrangement on a conveyor belt, so that the previously unfolded carrying and separating insert can simply be moved over the bottle

group can be plugged / grounded. Then the blank for the carrier is set up around this arrangement and that's it assembled. Such a method is particularly suitable for being carried out by an automatic packaging system. The blanks for the carrier and the carrier and partition insert can be stored in a flat position in the packaging system and fed one after the other to a conveyor belt for processing in the manner described.

Concerning the renewal according to the container carrier, it is finally to be noted, that despite rational use of the starting material, for example Cardboard, excellent load-bearing capacity and safe transport protection for the container is guaranteed.

A particularly preferred embodiment is shown below described in more detail with reference to drawings.

The support and separation insert 30 shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 consists of a one-piece blank, which essentially consists of two mirror-symmetrically arranged cutting guides for the formation of two layers 31 (FIG. 5) biw. 32 (Fig. 6), which are placed on top of one another and are glued to one another, folding around the crease line 33 and in the areas shown diagonally hatched. The layer or section 32 is slightly longer at the top than section 31 so that a reinforcing section 34 can be folded over the top of section 32 and glued to layer 31, as shown in FIG.

The support and separation insert according to Figures 5 to 7 has a double-layer middle wall 34, which in the upper area as Handle is formed with a handle opening 35, which is limited at the top by a grip tab 36 which is hinged to the central wall 34 via a scoring line 37 and pivoted about the scoring line 37 perpendicular to the plane of the central wall 34 can be.

On the middle wall 34 are on opposite sides over Rlllinien 38, 39, fastening straps 40 and 41, respectively, are hinged. A support bracket 42 or 43 is formed by a rectangular punching out of the layer 31 of the fastening tab 40 or 41, which, as shown in Figures S to 7, protrudes downward. Be it Mentioned at this point that the hatched areas in FIGS. 5 to 6 represent the respectively visible areas of the

because represent the lower layer.

The fastening tab tapers in the upper area, as shown at 44 or 4 5. In layer 32 (FIG. 6) a punched line 46 or 47 is guided in such a way that the fastening tab 40 or 41 widens triangularly in the upper area, as shown at 48 and 49, respectively. When the fastening tabs 40, 41 are pivoted in a plane perpendicular to the central wall 34, the part punched out of the layer 32 also folds around and is partially glued to the associated inner wall of the carrier, as will be described below.

By means of a punching line 50, a first transverse wall part 51 is punched out of the layer 31, which over the on a line lying crease lines 52, 53 is hinged to the layer 31. A second layer 31 is also made by means of punched lines 53 or 55 formed upper transverse wall part 56 or a second lower transverse wall part, which via a creased line 58 and 59 on the layer 31 are articulated, via scoring lines 60 and 61, 62 is a double-T-shaped connecting web 63 on the first transverse wall part 51 and hinged to the second transverse wall parts 56, 57. As can be seen from FIG. 6, the layer or layer 32 is constructed mirror-symmetrically with respect to the parts described. It will therefore be the same Parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, which are additionally provided with a comma.

As mentioned / the two plies or layers 31, 32 in

the areas shown diagonally hatched are glued to one another, so that after the support and separation insert 30 formed in this way has been set up, a state such as that shown in FIG. 7 is obtained. The transverse wall parts 51, 51 'and 56, 56 "are pivoted about their scoring lines perpendicular to the central wall section 34, this pivoting being carried out in parallel through the connection of the central wall parts to the connecting web 63, 63'. The areas thereby exposed in the central wall 34 are likewise as the handle opening 34 is dotted for purposes of illustration. It can be seen that the carrying and dividing insert delimits three compartment fields on each side when it is inserted into a corresponding carrying container. This is shown schematically with the aid of FIG Fig. 8 is created from the blank according to Fig. 1. The carrying and separating insert 30 erected according to Fig. 7 is glued to the carrying case according to Fig. 8, in particular via the fastening straps 40, 50 and the connecting webs 63, 63 ' Areas 4ti, 4 9 partially extending beyond the upper edge of the carrier are also connected in the lower part to the associated inner wall of the carrier glued. The support straps 42, 43, however, are inserted through the slot which remains free through the free sides of the base section 10 so that they can be placed from below against the underside of the base section 10 and glued here, as shown in FIG. 9.

It goes without saying that the one shown in FIGS Carrying and separating insert In the same way as the carrying cases

can be connected, which are shaped according to the blanks according to FIGS.

By means of a corresponding cut, the transverse wall parts 51, 5 'and 54, 54' are double-layered above and below Areas formed for special container protection. So double-walled in the other two diagonally opposite areas as well Protected areas are created in the Querwandte, <. L 51 two one above the other at a distance from punchings 64, 65 to form made of flaps which are swung back onto the inside of the transverse wall part 51, as shown in dotted lines is indicated at 66 and 67, respectively. The position or layer 31 is therefore visible around the vertically hatched area. The repulsed and tabs 66, 67 connected to the transverse wall part 51 form double-layer areas with respect to a transverse wall section for improved container protection.

Only one tab 68 shaped and connected to the rear of the bulkhead portion 51 ^': from pure strength reasons, the transverse wall part 51st Here, too, there is a double-layered area. Overall, therefore, all transverse partition wall sections (here four) and also the central wall sections separating the compartments have double-layered areas to ensure that the containers do not hit one another during transport.
