Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Trageverpackung für Flaschen oder ähnliche Gegenstände, die unterschiedliche Abmessungen haben können, gebildet aus einem um die Gegenstände gelegten Zuschnitt, der Halterungsöffnungen für die Gegenstände besitzen kann und der durch eine Verbindung von an den Gegenständen anliegenden Laschen, die durch Einschnitte in seinen Endbereichen gebildet sind, nach dem Umlegen um die Gegenstände in enger Anlage an diese verschlossen ist.The invention relates to a carrying packaging for bottles or similar objects, which can have different dimensions, formed from a blank placed around the objects, which can have holding openings for the objects and by a connection of tabs lying against the objects, which are made by incisions in its End areas are formed, after folding around the objects in close contact with them is closed.

Es ist eine Vielzahl von Verpackungen für eine Gruppe von Flaschen, Dosen oder ähnlichen Artikeln bekannt, bei denen eine solche Gruppe von einem Kartonzuschnitt umhüllt wird, wobei der Zuschnitt am Boden oder an der oberen Seite der Verpackung durch Verriegelungselemente oder durch Verklebungen verschlossen wird.A large number of packages for a group of bottles, cans or similar articles are known, in which such a group is enveloped by a cardboard blank, the blank being closed on the bottom or on the upper side of the package by locking elements or by gluing.

Ein solcher am Boden verriegelter Zuschnitt ist beispielsweise in DE-B 16 11 838 gezeigt. Hier wird auch vorgeschlagen, den Zuschnitt um die Gruppe von Artikeln gleichmäßig festzuziehen und hierfür gegeneinander bewegliche Finger zu verwenden, die in Öffnungen des Zuschnittes eingreifen und die sich teilweise überlappenden Bodenteile zusammenschieben.Such a blank locked on the floor is shown for example in DE-B 16 11 838. It is also proposed here to tighten the blank evenly around the group of articles and to use fingers that can be moved relative to one another, which engage in openings in the blank and push together the partially overlapping base parts.

Aus der DE-A 28 10 564 ist eine Falthülle bekannt, die mittels Einsteckzungen verschlossen wird, wobei die Bodenklappen der Falthülle zur Anpassung an vorkommende Maßtoleranzen der verpackten Flaschen mehr oder weniger weit zusammengezogen und in der Endstellung verriegelt werden. Aber auch diese Falthülle kann nur soweit zusammengezogen werden, wie es die größten Abmessungen der den Querschnitt jeder Verpackung bestimmenden Flaschen zulassen, so daß zufällig in einer Verpackung vorhandene kleinere Flaschen nicht fest gehalten werden.From DE-A 28 10 564 a folding case is known, which is closed by means of insertion tongues, the bottom flaps of the folding case being more or less pulled together to adjust to the dimensional tolerances of the packaged bottles and locked in the end position. But even this folding envelope can only be contracted to the extent that the largest dimensions of the bottles determining the cross-section of each packaging allow, so that smaller bottles which happen to be in a packaging are not held firmly.

Aus der DE-B 18 17 238 ist eine Tragever- packung für in mehreren Reihen anzuordnende Gegenstände bekannt, die aus einem um die Gegenstände herumgelegten Zuschnitt besteht, dessen Endbereiche gegenseitig verriegelt werden. Hierzu ist ein Steckzungenverschluß vorgesehen, bei dem die Änderung des Umfangs der zu verpackenden Gegenstände durch eine entsprechende Nachstellbarkeit möglich ist. Diese Nachstellbarkeit ist jedoch auch hierbei auf die gesamte Verpackung begrenzt und läßt ein individuelles Einstellen auf die Abmessungen der einzelnen zu verpackenden Gegenstände nicht zu.From DE-B 18 17 238 Next Tra g ever- packaging is known for to be arranged in multiple rows articles which consists of a wrapped around the articles blank whose end portions are mutually interlocked. For this purpose, a tongue lock is provided, in which the extent of the objects to be packaged can be changed by a corresponding readjustment. However, this adjustability is also limited to the entire packaging and does not allow individual adjustment to the dimensions of the individual objects to be packaged.

Durch ein gleichmäßiges Zusammenschieben der Endbereiche eines Zuschnitts vor und während des Verschließens läßt sich zwar eine verhältnismäßig feste Anlage des Zuschnitts an der Gruppe von Gegenständen erreichen, aber die einzelnen Gegenstände in der Gruppe werden nur dann fest gehalten, wenn die den Querschnitt der Verpackung bestimmenden Abmessungen der Gegenstände und eventuell auch des Zuschnitts völlig gleich sind. Bei den sehr oft zu verpackenden Glasflaschen kommen jedoch erhebliche Abmessungsunterschiede vor. Stehen in einer Verpackung sechs Flaschen paarweise nebeneinander, so kann es dabei vorkommen, daß neben einem Paar mit maximal zulässigen Abmessungen, das den Querschnitt der Verpackung bestimmt, ein anderes Paar mit minimal zulässigen Abmessungen steht, an dem der Zuschnitt nun nicht mehr fest anliegt.By evenly pushing together the end regions of a blank before and during closing, the blank can be held relatively firmly against the group of objects, but the individual objects in the group are only held firmly if the dimensions determining the cross-section of the packaging the objects and possibly the cut are completely the same. However, there are considerable dimensional differences in the glass bottles that are packed very often. If there are six bottles in pairs next to each other in a package, it can happen that in addition to a pair with maximum permissible dimensions, which determines the cross-section of the packaging, there is another pair with minimum permissible dimensions, to which the blank is no longer tight.

Die US-A 3 184 103 zeigt und beschreibt eine Trageverpackung für Gegenstände, die aus einem um die Gegenstände herumgelegten Zuschnitt besteht, der durch eine Verbindung seiner Endbereiche, von denen wenigstens einer durch Einschnitte in Laschen unterteilt ist, nach dem Herumlegerrdes Zuschnittes um die Gegenstände in enger Anlage an dieselben verschlossen ist. Aber auch aus dieser Patentschrift kann keine Anregung zum festen Verpacken der einzelnen Flaschen einer Gruppe entnommen werden.US-A-3 184 103 shows and describes an article carrying package consisting of a blank wrapped around the articles, by connecting its end portions, at least one of which is divided by tab cuts, after the blank is wrapped around the articles is closed in close contact with the same. However, no suggestion for the firm packaging of the individual bottles in a group can be derived from this patent either.

Aus der FR-A 2 419 229 ist eine Trageverpackung bekannt, deren Befestigungslaschen unterschiedlich stark angezogen werden können, um Maßtoleranzen der zu verpackenden Flaschen auszugleichen. Das funktioniert aber nur, wenn die gleichen Toleranzen bei allen Flaschen vorhanden sind. Ein Ausgleich unterschiedlicher Maßabweichungen ist dort nicht möglich.A carrier packaging is known from FR-A 2 419 229, the fastening tabs of which can be tightened to different degrees in order to compensate for dimensional tolerances of the bottles to be packaged. However, this only works if the same tolerances exist for all bottles. Compensation for different dimensional deviations is not possible there.

Der Erfindung liegt dagegen die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Trageverpackung so auszugestalten, daß die zu verpackenden Gegenstände auch bei den unterschiedlichsten Maßabweichungen und auch bei mehrreihiger Anordnung alle absolut fest gehalten werden können.In contrast, the invention is based on the object of designing the carrying packaging in such a way that the objects to be packaged can all be held absolutely firmly even with the most varied of dimensions and also with a multi-row arrangement.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Einschnitte sich bis in den dem Endbereich der Verpackung benachbarten Teil der Seitenwand erstrecken und im Bereich zwischen nebeneinander verpackten Gegenständen angeordnet sind, wobei die Laschen entsprechend den Abmessungen der von ihnen jeweils umschlossenen Gegenstände einzeln in enger Anlage an diese Gegenstände einander überlappend verbunden sind.This object is achieved in that the incisions extend into the part of the side wall adjacent to the end region of the packaging and are arranged in the region between objects packed next to one another, the tabs individually in close contact in accordance with the dimensions of the objects they each enclose these objects are connected in an overlapping manner.

Aus der US-A 2 289 859 ist zwar ein Flaschenträger bekannt, der Einschnitte in seinen Endbereichen aufweist, diese erstrecken sich jedoch ausschließlich in den Bodenabschnitten der Trageverpackung und ermöglichen keine individuelle Anpassungan unterschiedliche Flaschendurchmesser.From US-A 2 289 859 a bottle carrier is known which has incisions in its end regions, but these extend only in the bottom portions of the carrying packaging and do not allow individual adaptation to different bottle diameters.

Die US-A 1 968 877 zeigt darüber hinaus eine Trageverpackung fur Flaschen, die Einschnitte über den gesamten Boden aufweist, die sich auch bis in die Seitenwände hinein erstrekken. Diese Einschnitte ermöglichen das Einstellen der Trageverpackung in einen Flaschenkasten. Dabei greifen die Ωuerstege des Flaschenkastens in diese Einschnitte ein. Eine Anpassung der Trageverpackung an unterschiedliche Flaschendurchmesser ist durch diese Einschnitte nicht möglich, da dieser bekannte Flaschenträger an seiner Oberseite verschlossen wird.US-A 1 968 877 also shows a carrier packaging for bottles, which has incisions across the entire floor, which also extend into the side walls. These incisions allow the carrying packaging to be placed in a bottle crate. The ridges of the bottle crate engage in these incisions. An adaptation of the carrier packaging to different bottle diameters is not possible due to these incisions, since this known bottle carrier is closed on its top.

Dagegen ermöglicht die vorliegende Erfindung für jeden der möglicherweise unterschiedlichen Querschnitte der Verpackung eine mehr oder weniger große Überlappung der Enden des Zuschnitts, so daß alle Gegenstände fest umschlossen werden können.In contrast, the present invention permits a more or less large overlap of the ends of the packaging for each of the possibly different cross sections of the packaging Cut so that all objects can be firmly enclosed.

Sehr vorteilhaft ist es dabei, wenn gemäß der Erfindung die Laschen miteinander verklebt sind. Dadurch wird eine noch weitergehende Anpassung der Verpackung an die zu verpackenden Gegenstände ermöglicht.It is very advantageous if the tabs are glued together according to the invention. This enables a further adjustment of the packaging to the objects to be packed.

Eine vorteilhalft Ausgestaltung der Erfindung liegt auch darin, daß die zu verbindenden Endbereiche von den Bodenteilen der Verpackung gebildet werden und die Einschnitte von diesen Bodenteilen, gegebenenfalls über runde oder schräge untere Kantenflächen bis in den unteren Teil der Seitenwände verlaufen. Dadurch liegt ein sehr weiter Spannbereich der Verpackung vor, der gegebenenfalls auch weitere Flächenabschnitte umfaßt.An advantageous embodiment of the invention also lies in the fact that the end regions to be connected are formed by the bottom parts of the packaging and the incisions from these bottom parts, optionally over round or inclined lower edge surfaces, extend into the lower part of the side walls. As a result, there is a very wide span of the packaging, which may also include further surface sections.

Gemäß der Erfindung können die Einschnitte Ausstanzungen sein, durch die ein Streifen des Zuschnitt-Materials entfernt wurde. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß sich zwei benachbarte Laschen beim Zusammenschieben nicht behindern.According to the invention, the incisions can be punched-out areas through which a strip of the blank material has been removed. This ensures that two adjacent tabs are not hindered when pushed together.

Die Erfindung ist anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels einer Trageverpackung für jeweils sechs Flaschen veranschaulicht. Dabei zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 einen Zuschnitt für eine Trageverpackung und
  • Fig. 2 eine perspektivische Ansicht auf die untere Seite der aus dem Zuschnitt gemäß Fig. 1 gefertigten, gefüllten und am Boden verschlossenen Verpackung.
The invention is illustrated by means of an embodiment of a carrier packaging for six bottles each. Show:
  • Fig. 1 shows a blank for a carrier and
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the lower side of the packaging made from the blank according to FIG. 1, filled and closed on the bottom.

Der Zuschnitt (Fig. 1) besteht aus einer oberen Fläche 1 mit Halterungsöffnungen 7 für die Flaschenhälse und Fingeröffnungen 4, zwei Seitenwänden 2, zwei Bodenflächen 3a und 3b, oberen Kantenflächen 5 und unteren Kantenflächen 6, in denen sich Halterungsöffnungen 8 für die unteren Teile der Flaschen befinden. Die Flächen des Zuschnitts sind durch Faltlinien 11, 12, 13, 14 voneinander getrennt. An den unteren Halterungsöffnungen 8 sind Dehnungslinien 15, 16, 17 eingeprägt und ein Einschnitt 18 vorgesehen, welche eine Dehnung und begrenzte Verformung der Ränder der Öffnungen 8 zur Anpassung an den unteren, teilweise aus der Verpackung vorspringenden Bereich der Flaschen 10 ermöglichen.The blank (Fig. 1) consists of an upper surface 1 with mounting openings 7 for the bottle necks and finger openings 4, two side walls 2, two bottom surfaces 3a and 3b, upper edge surfaces 5 and lower edge surfaces 6, in which there are mounting openings 8 for the lower parts of the bottles. The surfaces of the blank are separated from one another by fold lines 11, 12, 13, 14. Strain lines 15, 16, 17 are embossed on the lower holder openings 8 and an incision 18 is provided, which allows the edges of the openings 8 to be stretched and limitedly deformed to adapt to the lower region of the bottles 10, which partially protrudes from the packaging.

Die Endbereiche der dargestellten Verpackung werden von den Bodenflächen 3a und 3b gebildet, die zum Verschließen der Verpackung in einer sich teilweise überlappenden Stellung zusammengeklebt werden. Damit jedes Paar der in der Verpakkung stehenden Flaschen 10 individuell auch bei abweichenden Flaschenabmessungen oder -formen von dem Zuschnitt fest umschlossen wird, sind die Bodenflächen 3a und 3b und der untere Bereich der Seitenwände 2 sowie auch die unteren Kantenflächen 6 mittels Einschnitten 20 in Laschen 21a, 21b unterteilt. Jede Lasche 21 a, 21 b umfaßt also einen Teil von einer Bodenfläche 3a oder 3b, einen Teil der unteren Kantenfläche 6 und einen Teil aus der unteren Hälfte einer Seitenwand 2, und sie verläuft um die durch die Faltlinie 14 erzeugte untere Kante der Verpackung, sowie auch um die durch die Faltlinie 13 gebildete weitere untere Kante und enthält eine untere Halterungsöffnung 8. Beim Zusammenschieben eines Paares von Laschen 21a, 21b wird der Zuschnitt um das von diesen Laschen umschlossene Paar von Flaschen fest angedrückt, wobei auch die Flaschen zusammengedrückt und die Halterungsöffnungen 8 gedehnt werden. Der innere Querschnitt der Verpackung wird insbesondere in seinem unteren Bereich den Flaschen so angepaßt, daß jedes Flaschenpaar seinen Abmessungen entsprechend und im wesentlichen unabhängig von einem benachbarten Flaschenpaar fest gehaltert ist. Die Überlappung der einzelnen Paare von Laschen 21a, 21 kann unterschiedlich sein (Fig. 2). Daher können gegebenenfalls auch die unteren Halterungsöffnungen 8 in verschiedener Weise entsprechend dem Übergangsradius vom Rumpf zum Boden der Flaschen gedehnt sein.The end regions of the packaging shown are formed by the bottom surfaces 3a and 3b, which are glued together in a partially overlapping position to close the packaging. So that each pair of bottles 10 in the packaging is individually tightly enclosed by the blank even with different bottle dimensions or shapes, the bottom surfaces 3a and 3b and the lower region of the side walls 2 and also the lower edge surfaces 6 by means of incisions 20 in tabs 21a , 21b divided. Each flap 21 a, 21 b thus comprises a part of a bottom surface 3a or 3b, a part of the lower edge surface 6 and a part of the lower half of a side wall 2, and it extends around the lower edge of the packaging created by the fold line 14, and also around the further lower edge formed by the fold line 13 and contains a lower holder opening 8. When a pair of tabs 21a, 21b are pushed together, the blank is pressed firmly around the pair of bottles enclosed by these tabs, the bottles also being compressed and the Bracket openings 8 are stretched. The inner cross-section of the packaging, in particular in its lower region, is adapted to the bottles so that each pair of bottles is firmly held in accordance with its dimensions and essentially independently of an adjacent pair of bottles. The overlap of the individual pairs of tabs 21a, 21 can be different (FIG. 2). Therefore, the lower holder openings 8 can optionally be expanded in various ways according to the transition radius from the body to the bottom of the bottles.
