Opfindelsen angår en samleemballage af den i indledningen til krav 1 nævnte art til et antal cylindriske beholdere af samme form og størrelse, som er anbragt stående ved siden af hinanden i mindst to parallelle langsgående ræk-5 ker.The invention relates to an assembly package of the kind mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 for a plurality of cylindrical containers of the same shape and size, which are arranged side by side in at least two parallel longitudinal rows.

Der er allerede foreslået (FR patentskrift 2 291 113) en samleemballage til et antal cylindriske beholdere med samme form og størrelse, der er anbragt stående ved siden 10 af hinanden i mindst to parallelle langsgående rækker, og med et i det væsentlige rektangulært kartonstykke i form af en med tværgående foldelinier udformet bane, der danner en bundflade, på hvilken beholderne står, og to overfor hinanden liggende, opklappelige, med bundfladen via 15 tværgående foldelinier sammenhængende side- og endevæg flader.There has already been proposed (FR Patent 2,291,113) an assembly package for a plurality of cylindrical containers of the same shape and size, standing upright next to each other in at least two parallel longitudinal rows and having a substantially rectangular carton piece in shape of a web formed with transverse fold lines forming a bottom surface on which the containers stand, and two opposite, folding, side and end wall surfaces connected by the bottom surface via 15 transverse fold lines.

Fremstillingen af en sådan foldeæske kræver imidlertid et forholdsvis stort forbrug af kartonmateriale og arbejds-20 gange. Endvidere skal kartonmaterialet forsynes med huller, hvis der skal tilvejebringes håndgreb til bæring af samleemballagen med den ene hånd eller begge hænder. Der er imidlertid ikke tilvejebragt mulighed for sikring af beholderne i de kartonfri områder.However, the production of such a folding box requires a relatively large consumption of cardboard material and 20 times work. Furthermore, the carton material must be provided with holes if handles are to be provided for carrying the assembly packaging with one hand or both hands. However, it is not possible to secure the containers in the carton-free areas.

Endvidere kendes der en samleemballage til et antal firkantede beholdere med samme størrelse, der er anbragt stående ved siden af hinanden i mindst to parallelle langsgående rækker, hvor samleemballagen udviser et til-30 svarende kartonstykke, og hvor højden af de opklappede side- eller endevægflader svarer til eller er mindre end beholdernes højde. Der findes endvidere et holdebånd, der går rundt om de opklappede side- eller endevægflader samt de to udækkede sider af samleemballagen i tilnærmelsesvis 35 halv højde. Denne emballage kan dog ikke anvendes til cylindriske beholdere, eftersom cylindriske beholdere forskubber sig under spænding, og derved ændres samleembal-Furthermore, an assembly package is known for a plurality of square containers of the same size, which are arranged side-by-side in at least two parallel longitudinal rows, where the assembly package exhibits a corresponding cardboard piece and the height of the folded side or end wall surfaces corresponds to or is less than the height of the containers. In addition, there is a holding band that goes around the folded side or end wall surfaces as well as the two uncovered sides of the assembly package at approximately 35 half height. However, this packaging cannot be used for cylindrical containers, since cylindrical containers shift under tension, thereby changing the assembly package.

2 lagéns forudgivne form således, at der ikke længer opnås sikker fastholdelse af beholderne ved håndteringen (FR patentskrift 2 149 899 og SE fremlæggelsesskrift 362 399).2, the predetermined shape of the layer so that the containers are no longer secured securely during handling (FR patent 2 149 899 and SE disclosure no. 362 399).

Endvidere er det ved emballeringsenheder til samleembal-lager allerede blevet foreslået, at man mellem samleem-ballagerne udformer skillevægge, som dannes af fra bundpladen opklappede afsnit (US patentskrift 3 212 636).Furthermore, it has already been proposed in the case of packing unit storage packing units that partitions be formed between the assemblies, which are formed from sections which are folded from the base plate (US Pat. No. 3,212,636).

10 Herved muliggøres imidlertid blot forankring af den samlede samleemballage, men ikke sikring af de i samleembal-lagen anbragte beholdere.10 This, however, merely permits anchoring of the entire assembly package, but not securing the containers placed in the assembly package.

Formålet med opfindelsen er at angive en samleemballage 15 af den indledningsvis nævnte art til cylindriske beholdere, som blot kræver en ganske særlig lille kartonmateria-leflade, men som alligevel har en særlig stor egen stivhed, som egner sig til maskinel lastning af beholderne ved stor hastighed, og som er bekvem at bære med en enkel 20 hånd eller med begge hænder. Frem for alt skal imidlertid det problem løses, at beholderne ved en samleemballage af den omhandlede art nemt kan forskubbe sig på grund af deres cylindriske form ved lastningen og ved transport af samleemballagen. En sådan indbyrdes forskubning af de cy-25 lindriske beholdere skal forhindres.The object of the invention is to provide an assembly package 15 of the kind mentioned initially for cylindrical containers which requires only a very small carton material surface, but which nevertheless has a very large own stiffness suitable for machine loading of the containers at high speed. , which is convenient to carry with a simple 20 hand or with both hands. Above all, however, the problem must be solved that the containers can easily be displaced by a cylindrical package of the kind in question due to their cylindrical shape when loading and transporting the assembly packaging. Such displacement of the cylindrical containers must be prevented.

Dette formål opnås ifølge opfindelsen ved, at et tilnærmelsesvis i beholderens halve højde anbragt holdebånd strækker sig over de opklappede side- eller endeflader og 30 samleemballagens to udækkede sider og tjener som eneste middel både til sammenholdelse og til bæring af beholderen med en hånd eller begge hænder, og at der findes midler til at hindre forskubning af beholderrækkerne i forhold til hinanden langs bundfladen. I denne forbindelse 35 foretrækkes det, at mindst en opklappelig fladedel på kartonstykket kan indstikkes mellem nabostillede langsgående eller tværgående rækker af de cylindriske beholdere.This object is achieved according to the invention in that an approximately holding strip located approximately half the height of the container extends over the folded side or end surfaces and the two uncovered sides of the assembly package and serves as the only means for holding and carrying the container with one hand or both hands. and that means exist to prevent displacement of the container rows relative to each other along the bottom surface. In this connection, it is preferred that at least one foldable surface portion of the carton can be inserted between adjacent longitudinal or transverse rows of the cylindrical containers.

DK 164269 BDK 164269 B

33

Denne indstikning til forhindring af forskubning muliggøres fortrinsvis ved, at der i bundvæggen findes mindst én af denne dannet aflang klap, der har en i tværretningen 5 forløbende fals, og som foldet 90° op danner en tværribbe, som griber ind mellem beholderpar, som er anbragt i forskellige langsgående rækker. En sådan tværribbe forhindrer indbyrdes forskubning af beholderne og tjener samtidig til afstivning af kartonens bundflade.This insertion to prevent displacement is preferably made possible by the fact that there is at least one of this elongated flap formed in the bottom wall, which has a fold extending in the transverse direction 5 and which folds 90 ° upwards forms a cross rib which intervenes between container pairs which are arranged in different longitudinal rows. Such a transverse rib prevents the containers from displacing one another and at the same time serves to stiffen the bottom surface of the carton.

En anden løsning på det nævnte problem består ifølge opfindelsen i, at som middel til at hindre forskubning er de på bundflader stående beholdere anbragt i tre parallelle langsgående rækker, at akserne for hver beholder i 15 de to ydre rækker parvis ligger i et på rækkernes længderetning vinkelret plan, medens beholderne i den midterste række er forskudt et stykke i den sidegående længderetning i forhold til beholderne i de ydre rækker svarende til den halve beholderdiameter, og at de to ydre behol-20 derrækker er rykket så tæt på den midterste beholderrække, at hver beholder i den midterste række berører to beholdere i hver af de ydre rækker.Another solution to the above problem according to the invention consists in the fact that as means for preventing displacement, the containers on the bottom surfaces are arranged in three parallel longitudinal rows, that the axes of each container in the two outer rows are in pairs in a longitudinal direction of the rows. perpendicular plane, while the containers in the middle row are displaced a bit in the lateral longitudinal direction relative to the containers in the outer rows corresponding to half the container diameter, and the two outer container rows are moved so close to the middle container row that each container in the middle row touches two containers in each of the outer rows.

En således udformet samleemballage er egnet som håndter-25 bar, som en palle stablelig emballage til et større antal beholdere af samme form og størrelse ved transport og oplagring og som salgs-, fremvisnings- og forrådsemballage. Emballagen muliggør hurtig, økonomisk samling af sådanne beholdere ved hjælp af emballeringsmaskineri. Det kan 30 dreje sig om dåser og beholdere med i bredere forstand cylindrisk form med cirkulært, ellipseformet eller polygonformet tværsnit, men også om flasker, som er udformet cylindrisk i det mindste over en del af deres ydre kappes højde. Et foretrukket anvendelsesområde for opfindelsen 35 er distribution af drikkevarer i beholdere. Også beholdere til anden form for gods, såsom f.eks. levnedsmiddelkonserves, rengøringsmidler eller motorolier, kan embal-An assembly package thus designed is suitable as a handle bar, as a pallet stackable package for a larger number of containers of the same shape and size for transport and storage and as sales, display and storage packaging. The packaging enables quick, economical assembly of such containers by means of packaging machinery. They may be cans and containers having a wider cylindrical shape of circular, ellipse or polygon cross-section, but also bottles which are cylindrical at least over a portion of the height of their outer jacket. A preferred application of the invention 35 is the distribution of beverages in containers. Also containers for other kinds of goods, such as e.g. food preservatives, cleaning agents or engine oils, can be packaged

4 leres i samleemballager Ifølge opfindelsen.4 are delivered in assembly packages according to the invention.

Ved anvendelsen af midler til at hindre forskubning af beholderrækkerne i forhold til hinanden og ved anvendel-5 sen af holdebåndet er det for første gang muligt at tilvejebringe en samleemballage til cylindriske beholdere, i hvilken beholderne er anbragt forspændt og således, at de fastholdes i deres stilling også under belastning. Herved opnås stor sikkerhed mod forskubning af beholderne både 10 ved anbringelse i en pallestabel og under transport af samleemballagen ved bæring af denne.By using means for preventing displacement of the container rows relative to each other and by using the holding tape, it is possible for the first time to provide an assembly package for cylindrical containers in which the containers are pre-loaded and thus retained in their position also under load. This provides great security against displacement of the containers both by placing them in a pallet stack and during transport of the assembly packaging by carrying it.

En sådan samleemballage har endvidere den fordel, at den forholdsvis nemt kan åbnes uden anvendelse af værktøj og 15 uden ødelæggelse af kartonen eller bølgepapmaterialet, og at emballeringsmaterialet efter udtagelse af beholderne kan lægges sammen på pladsbesparende måde og om ønsket anvendes igen.Furthermore, such assembly packaging has the advantage that it can be opened relatively easily without the use of tools and without destroying the carton or corrugated cardboard, and that after removing the containers, the packaging material can be put together in a space-saving manner and, if desired, used again.

20 Ifølge en udførelsesform for opfindelsen kan kartonstykkets rektangulære bane have yderligere fladedele på den anden side af de overfor hinanden liggende sideflader og være forbundet med disse via foldelinier og kan tjene til dannelse af et på begge sider åbent kartonomslag, der 25 ringformigt omslutter beholderne. Herved kan der skabes udførelsesformer af en kvaderformet emballage, der er lukket på fire ringformigt sammenhængende sider og er delvis åben på to overfor hinanden liggende sider. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Længden af kartonstykkedelen, som danner bundfladen eller 2 ståfladen for beholderne, er fortrinsvis mindre end sum 3 men af diametrene af de i en langsgående række anbragte 4 beholdere. Herved sikres det, at holdebåndet stramt om 5 slutter samleemballagen, og der opnås ydermere en bespa- 6 relse af kartonmateriale.According to one embodiment of the invention, the rectangular web of the cardboard piece may have additional surface portions on the opposite side of the opposite side surfaces and be connected thereto via fold lines and may serve to form a cardboard cover open on both sides which encircles the containers annularly. Hereby embodiments of a quadrangular package can be created which are closed on four annular sides and partially open on two opposite sides. Preferably, the length of the carton piece portion forming the bottom surface or the 2 standing surface of the containers is preferably less than sum 3 but of the diameters of the 4 containers arranged in a longitudinal row. This ensures that the retaining tape tightly ends at 5, and a further saving of cardboard material is achieved.

For at hindre utilsigtet forskubning af holdebåndet kan de overfor hinanden liggende endekanter på kartonstykkets side- eller endevægflader være forsynet med indskæringer eller indsnit til forankring af holdebåndet.To prevent inadvertent displacement of the holding tape, the opposite end edges of the side or end wall surfaces of the cardboard piece may be provided with notches or notches for anchoring the holding tape.

6 tjenende kartonemne. 11 er emnets bundflade, på hvilken de cylindriske beholdere 1 er anbragt stående ved siden af hinanden i to langsgående rækker. I fig. 1 er disse beholdere antydet med stiplede linier. 12, 13 er sidevæg-5 flader, hvis højde kun strækker sig over en del af beholdernes højde eller maksimalt har samme højde som disse vist i fig. 2. Sidevægfladens længde samt bundvægfladens længde er mindre end eller maksimalt lige så lang som summen af diameterne for de i en længderække i samleem-10 ballagen anbragte beholdere. Sidevægfladernes sideende-kanter er udformet med indsnit og/eller udsparinger 14, som tjener til fastholdelse af et holdebånd 15.6 serving carton blank. 11 is the bottom surface of the workpiece on which the cylindrical containers 1 are arranged standing side by side in two longitudinal rows. In FIG. 1, these containers are indicated by dotted lines. 12, 13 are sidewall surfaces whose height extends only over a portion of the height of the containers or at a maximum height equal to those shown in FIG. 2. The length of the side wall surface and the length of the bottom wall surface are less than or maximum as long as the sum of the diameters of the containers arranged in a longitudinal row in the assembly body. The side ends of the side wall surfaces are formed with incisions and / or recesses 14 which serve to hold a retaining band 15.

I bundvæggen 11 findes en af denne dannet aflang klap 16 15 med en fals, der strækker sig på tværs af de langsgående beholderrækker. Denne klap 16 danner ved foldning 90° opad en tværribbe, der tjener til at hindre forskubning i længderetningen af de i forskellige langsgående rækker anbragte holdere, og som ligger an mod nabobeholdernes 20 kappeflader og desuden afstiver bundfladen. Klappens 16 bredde er mindst så stor, at fire beholdere, nemlig to på hver side, kontaktes af den af klappen dannede tværribbe; klappens bredde er imidlertid mindre end bundfladens 21 bredde. Holdebåndet 15, som sammenholder emballagen, 25 fastlåses i udsparingerne 14 i sidevægfladernes 12, 13 sideendekanter på en sådan måde, at båndet ikke kan forskubbe sig langs de cylindriske beholdere. Da sidevægfladernes 12, 13 længde samt bundfladens 11 længde er lidt mindre end summen af diameterne for de i længderetningen 30 anbragte beholdere, opnår man, at holdebåndet tilpasser sig de yderste beholderes afrundinger. Derudover opnås også en besparelse af kartonmaterialet.In the bottom wall 11 is one of this elongated flap 16 formed with a seam extending across the longitudinal container rows. This flap 16, by folding 90 ° upwards, forms a transverse rib which serves to prevent longitudinal displacement of the holders arranged in different longitudinal rows, which abuts against the casing surfaces of the neighboring containers 20 and furthermore stiffens the bottom surface. The width of the flap 16 is at least so large that four containers, namely two on each side, are contacted by the transverse rib formed by the flap; however, the width of the flap is smaller than the width of the bottom surface 21. The holding band 15, which holds the packaging 25, is locked in the recesses 14 in the side ends of the side wall surfaces 12, 13 in such a way that the belt cannot move along the cylindrical containers. Since the length of the sidewall surfaces 12, 13 and the length of the bottom surface 11 is slightly smaller than the sum of the diameters of the longitudinal containers 30, it is obtained that the holding band adapts to the rounding of the outer containers. In addition, a saving of the cardboard material is also achieved.

Udførelsesformen ifølge fig. 4 adskiller sig fra den i 35 fig. 1 - 3 viste ved, at emnet 20 er dimensioneret til otte beholdere 1 i stedet for til seks beholdere som i fig. 1 - 3. I bundvæggen 21 findes der her to udfra denneThe embodiment of FIG. 4 differs from that of FIG. 1 - 3 show that the blank 20 is sized for eight containers 1 instead of six containers as in FIG. 1 - 3. In the bottom wall 21 there are two from this one

DK 164269 BDK 164269 B

7 stansede aflange klapper 26, 27 med en i tværretningen ’ forløbende fals. Klapperne 26, 27 danner hver især, når de er foldet 90° op, en tværribbe, der tjener til at hindre forskubning af beholderne og til afstivning af bund-5 fladen. I fig. 4 er sidevægfladerne betegnet med 22, 23, udsparingerne i disses endekanter med 24 og holdebåndet med 25. På grund af de to langsgående beholderrækkers større længde findes der ved udførelsesformen ifølge fig.7 punched elongated flaps 26, 27 with a fold extending in the transverse direction. The flaps 26, 27 each, when folded 90 ° upwards, form a cross rib which serves to prevent displacement of the containers and to stiffen the bottom surface. In FIG. 4, the side wall surfaces are indicated by 22, 23, the recesses at their end edges by 24 and the retaining band by 25. Due to the larger length of the two longitudinal container rows, the embodiment according to FIG.

4 to tværribber, der er dannet af klapper i bundvæggen, 10 så at der frembringes en i tværretningen set symmetrisk anbringelse af disse, hvorved der opnås en endnu bedre afstivning og sikring mod forskubning. Normalt er imidlertid én tværribbe tilstrækkeligt, der som vist i fig. 1 - 3 kan være anbragt asymmetrisk.4 shows two transverse ribs formed by flaps in the bottom wall, 10 so as to produce a symmetrical arrangement of these seen in the transverse direction, thereby obtaining an even better stiffening and protection against displacement. Usually, however, one transverse rib is sufficient which, as shown in FIG. 1 to 3 may be arranged asymmetrically.

En anden, ganske særlig fordelagtig og specielt pladsbesparende og også kartonmaterialebesparende udførelsesform er vist i fig. 5 og 6. Her er de på beholderfladen 11 stående cylindriske beholdere 1 anbragt i tre parallelle 20 langsgående rækker på en sådan måde, at akserne for hver beholder i de to ydre rækker parvis ligger i et på rækkernes længderetning vinkelret plan; beholderne i den midterste række er i rækkernes længderetning forskudt et stykke i forhold til beholderne i de ydre rækker svarende 25 til halvdelen af beholderdiameteren; de to ydre beholderrækker er rykket så tæt på den midterste beholderrække, at hver beholder i den midterste række berører to beholdere i hver af de ydre rækker. Det fremgår uden videre, at emballagens bundflade, som beholderne står på, herved 30 kan gøres endnu smallere end ved parallel og ikke forskudt anbringelse af tre beholderrækker. Dette kan under visse omstændigheder være en stor fordel ved tilvejebringelse af samleemballager, som kan stables som paller, fordi den smalle side i samleemballagens rektangulære 35 grundrids herved kan formindskes endnu mere. 12, 13 er emnets sidevægge.Another particularly advantageous and particularly space-saving and also cardboard material-saving embodiment is shown in FIG. 5 and 6. Here, the cylindrical containers 1 on the container surface 11 are arranged in three parallel longitudinal rows in such a way that the axes of each container in the two outer rows are in pairs in a longitudinal plane perpendicular to the rows; the containers in the middle row are displaced longitudinally of the rows relative to the containers in the outer rows corresponding to 25 to half of the container diameter; the two outer container rows are moved so close to the middle container row that each container in the middle row touches two containers in each of the outer rows. It is clear that the bottom surface of the packaging on which the containers stand can thereby be made even narrower than by parallel and non-staggered placement of three container rows. This can in some circumstances be a great advantage in providing assembly packages which can be stacked as pallets, because the narrow side of the rectangular base grid of the assembly packaging can be reduced even further. 12, 13 are the sidewalls of the workpiece.

En særlig fordel ved den anden og i fig. 5 og 6 viste udførelsesform er, at der ved samleemballagens to ender opnås særligt store håndgrebs- eller bæreåbninger mellem 5 holdebåndet og beholderne.A particular advantage of the second and FIG. 5 and 6, at the two ends of the assembly packaging, particularly large handgrip or carrier openings are obtained between the holding belt and the containers.

Fig. 7 og 8 viser yderligere en, ganske særlig fordelagtig udformning af den sidst beskrevne udførelsesform. Kartonemnet, som griber omkring de tre rækker cylindriske 10 beholdere 1, har her i alt fire parvis via falslinier med bundvæggen 31 sammenhængende vægge 32, 33, 34, 35. Sidevæggene 32, 33 er forsynet med sidelasker 36, 37, 38, 39, som ved side- og endevæggenes opfoldede stilling griber over naboendevæggen henholdsvis 34 og 35 og er klæbet 15 sammen med denne. Herved dannes en forholdsvis stiv kasse af kartonemnet. Endevæggene 34, 35 bør mindst være halvt så høje som sidevæggene 32, 33. Ved hjælp af parvis i kassens hjørner udformede indsnit, som har en højdeafstand på tilnærmelsesvis mere end båndets 15 bredde, kan 20 holdebåndets 15 højdestilling over bundvæggen 31 fastlægges. Laskerne, som opstår på grund af indsnittene 40, 41 i kartonfladedelene, som danner kassens hjørner, bøjes under indvirkning af holdebåndet 15 indad, hvorved de kan tilpasse sig rundingen af nabobeholderne 1. Den ved hjælp 25 af indsnittene i kassens hjørner fastlagte højdestilling for holdebåndet 15 er således beregnet, at der mellem holdebåndet 15 og endevæggenes 34, 35 øvre rand opnås en bæreåbning 43, som passer til indføringen af en hånd.FIG. 7 and 8 further illustrate a particularly advantageous embodiment of the last described embodiment. The carton blank gripping about the three rows of cylindrical containers 1 has a total of four pairs of walls 32, 33, 34, 35. in parallel with fold lines with the bottom wall 31, the sidewalls 32, 33 are provided with side lugs 36, 37, 38, 39, which at the folded position of the side and end walls grips the adjacent wall 34 and 35 respectively and is adhered 15 thereto. Thereby a relatively stiff box of the cardboard blank is formed. The end walls 34, 35 should be at least half as high as the side walls 32, 33. By means of sections formed in pairs at the corners of the box, which have a height distance of approximately more than the width of the band 15, the height position of the holding band 15 can be determined over the bottom wall 31. The lugs which are formed by the incisions 40, 41 in the carton surface portions forming the corners of the box are bent under the action of the holding band 15 inwardly, so that they can adapt to the rounding of the neighboring containers 1. The height position of the holding strip determined by the 25 in the corners of the box 15 is calculated so that a carrier opening 43 suitable for the insertion of a hand is obtained between the holding band 15 and the upper edge of the end walls 34, 35.

30 Den i forbindelse med fig. 7 og 8 beskrevne udførelsesform for samleemballagen egner sig ganske specielt til forarbejdning på meget hurtigt arbejdende maskiner med stor ydelse, som tjener til at folde og oprette kartonemnet, sammenklæbe dette, laste det med cylindriske behol-35 dere og føre et bånd om samleemballagen.30 In connection with FIG. 7 and 8, the embodiment of the assembly package is particularly suitable for processing on very fast-performing, high-performance machines which serve to fold and create the carton blank, adhere it, load it with cylindrical containers and tape the assembly packaging.
