Cover foil (12) for a bottle case which is filled with n rows each with m bottles (n, m = 3, 4, 5 or 6), which cover foil is provided with at least a perforation that can be shlipped over a bottle closure, said perforation held subsequently in the area of the neck of the bottle, characterized in that the cover foil (10) is provided oppositely always with n or m perforations (16, 17, 18; 19, 20, 21) for the two rows disposed in the area of the walls of the bottle case (1), whereby between the opposite rows of perforations (22, 23) a flat central area (24) is disposed as a continuous surface for printing or carrying.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Deckfolie für einen Flaschenkasten, der mit n Reihen mit jeweils m Flaschen (n, m = 3, 4, 5 oder 6) gefüllt ist, welche Deckfolie mit wenigstens einer über einen Flaschenverschluß streifbaren und anschließend im Bereiche des Flaschenhalses gehaltenen Perforation versehen ist.The invention relates to a cover film for a bottle crate, which is filled with n rows each with m bottles (n, m = 3, 4, 5 or 6), which cover film has at least one perforation which can be slipped over a bottle closure and subsequently held in the area of the bottle neck is provided.

Auf dem Gebiete des Flaschentransportes sind sogenannte Kleingebindeträger bekannt (vgl. US-PS 3 495 704), die dazu dienen, innerhalb eines großen Flaschenkastens mit beispielsweise 24 Flaschen drei Kleingebinde von beispielsweise je acht Flaschen getrennt bereitzuhalten. Diese Kleingebindeträger umschließen jedoch jeweils alle Flaschen des Kleingebindes und haben insbesondere auf ihrer Oberseite nur eine kleine Fläche, die sich als Druck- oder Werbeträger eignet.In the field of bottle transport, so-called small container carriers are known (cf. US Pat. No. 3,495,704), which are used to keep three small containers of, for example, eight bottles separate, within a large bottle crate with, for example, 24 bottles. However, these small container carriers each enclose all bottles of the small container and, in particular, only have a small area on their upper surface which is suitable as a print or advertising medium.

Bei der Konzipierung einer Deckfolie stellt sich demgegenüber die Aufgabe, auf der einen Seite zu verhindern, daß einzelne Flaschen aus dem Gebinde entnommen werden; auf der anderen Seite soll die Deckfolie eine große, deutlich erkennbare und ununterbrochene Druck-oder Trägerfläche aufweisen, die die Deckfolie im allgemeinsten Sinne als Werbeträger einsetzbar macht. Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Deckfolie der eingangs genannten Art gelöst, die für die zwei im Kantenbereich angeordneten Flaschenreihen gegenüberliegend mit jeweils n oder m in Reihe liegenden Perforationen versehen ist, wobei zwischen den gegenüberliegenden Perforationsreihen ein planer Mi-ztelbereich als ununterbrochene Druck- oder Trägerfläche angeordnet ist.When designing a cover film, on the other hand, the task is to prevent on the one hand that individual bottles are removed from the container; on the other hand, the cover film should have a large, clearly recognizable and uninterrupted printing or carrier surface, which makes the cover film usable as an advertising medium in the most general sense. This object is achieved with a cover film of the type mentioned at the outset, which is provided opposite for the two rows of bottles arranged in the edge region, each with n or m perforations in series, a planar middle region being arranged as an uninterrupted printing or carrier surface between the opposite rows of perforations is.

Unter "Perforationen" werden hierbei Durchbrüche, Ausstanzungen, aber auch Sollbruchstellen verstanden, die beispielsweise aus einer runden Ausstanzung mit sternförmig eingeschnittenen Schlitzen bestehen, die zu einzelnen Zungen aufreißen und anschließend im allgemeinen nur unter Zerstörung der Deckfolie von den Flaschenhälsen wieder entfernt werden können. Das gilt insbesondere dann, wenn die Flaschen mit einem Kronkorken oder einem Dreh-Kapselverschluß verschlossen wird. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, in entsprechende Folien nur einen Kreuzschlitz einzustanzen, der dann beim überstreifen über den Flaschenhals aufbiegt. In manchen Fällen mag es auch genügen, nur eine verdünnte Sollbruchstelle dort einzubringen, wo die Folie über den Flaschenhals gestreift werden soll, die dann unter Druck zerreißt und entsprechend aufschiebbar wird."Perforations" are understood to mean openings, punched-outs, but also predetermined breaking points which, for example, consist of a round punched-out cut with star-shaped slots, which tear open into individual tongues and can then generally be removed from the bottle necks only by destroying the cover film. This is especially true when the bottle is closed with a crown cap or a twist capsule closure. However, it is also possible to punch only a cross-slot into corresponding foils, which then bends over the bottle neck when slipped on. In some cases, it may also be sufficient to insert only a diluted predetermined breaking point where the film is to be slipped over the bottle neck, which then tears under pressure and can be pushed open accordingly.

Die genannten Buchstaben n, m stehen für die ganzen Zahlen 3, 4, 5, 6, die bei den üblichen Flaschenkästen als Reihenzahl gewählt sind.The letters n, m stand for the integers 3, 4, 5, 6, which are chosen as the number of rows in the usual bottle crates.

Insbesondere richtet sich die Erfindung auf eine Deckfolie für einen Flaschenkasten, bei dem die Deckfolie im Bereich zweier gegenüberliegender Kastenkanten mit jeweils n oder m in Reihe liegenden Perforationen versehen ist. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist die Deckfolie demnach mit zwei parallelen, gegenüberliegenden Perforationsreihen versehen. Der Mittelbereich ist frei von Perforationen und kann daher als Aufschriftträger oder dergleichen dienen, wie im folgenden erläutert wird.In particular, the invention is directed to a cover film for a bottle crate, in which the cover film is provided with n or m perforations in series in the region of two opposite box edges. In this embodiment, the cover film is accordingly provided with two parallel, opposite rows of perforations. The middle area is free of perforations and can therefore be used as an inscription serve carriers or the like, as explained below.

Um das plane Aufliegen des Mittelbereiches auf den unterhalb der Deckfolie liegenden Flaschenverschlüssen zu verbessern, ist parallel zu wenigstens einer der Perforationsreihen am Rande des Mittelbereiches ein das Biegen erleichternder Bugstreifen vorgesehen.In order to improve the planar resting of the middle area on the bottle closures lying below the cover film, a bow strip facilitating the bending is provided parallel to at least one of the rows of perforations at the edge of the middle area.

Es ist möglich, das Einstecken der Deckfolie an den Kastenrändern, d. h. zwischen der Kasteninnenseite und der Flaschenaußenseite zu verbessern, wobei gleichzeitig ein weiterer Werbeträger geschaffen wird, wenn wenigstens einer der mit einer Perforationsreihe versehenen Randbereiche der Deckfolie nach außen um einen umknickbaren Folienstreifen verbreitert wird, der bei aufgelegter Deckfolie zwischen einer Kasteninnenseite und den Flaschenaußenseiten eingesteckt wird.It is possible to insert the cover film at the edges of the box, i. H. to improve between the inside of the box and the outside of the bottle, at the same time creating a further advertising medium if at least one of the edge regions of the cover film provided with a row of perforations is widened outwards by a foldable film strip which is inserted between the inside of the box and the outside of the bottle when the cover film is in place.

Während bei der einfacheren Ausführungsform der plane Mittelbereich lediglich mit einem Aufdruck versehen wird, ist es auch möglich, ihn in einer anderen Ausführungsform mit einem oben liegenden durchsichtigen Blisterdeckel, einer aufliegenden Tasche oder dergleichen zu versehen. In diese Teile kann dann beispielsweise ein Sortiment Bierdeckel, ein Flaschenöffner oder eine sonstige Zugabe eingesteckt werden, wobei vorzugsweise diese Zugabe sichtbar ist.While in the simpler embodiment the flat central region is only provided with an imprint, it is also possible in another embodiment to provide it with a transparent blister lid on top, an overlying pocket or the like. An assortment of beer coasters, a bottle opener or another addition can then be inserted into these parts, for example, this addition preferably being visible.

In Abwandlung dieser Ausführungsform ist auch möglich, die Deckfolie aus zwei einseitig am Rand verbundenen, aufeinander gelegten Folienblättern herzustellen, so daß quasi wie in einer Mappe auch hier ein Behälter entsteht, in den entsprechende Zugabeartikel eingelegt werden können. Dabei ist außerdem möglich, die Folienblätter an der den Verbindungsrand gegenüberliegenden Seite mit Hilfe eines Druckknopfpaares, einer Lasche mit Einsteckschlitz oder dergleichen miteinander lösbar zu verbinden.In a modification of this embodiment, it is also possible to produce the cover film from two film sheets which are connected to one another at the edge and are placed one on top of the other, so that a container is also created here, as in a folder, into which corresponding addition items can be inserted. It is also possible to use a pair of push buttons to slide the foil sheets on the side opposite the connecting edge, a tab with insertion slot or the like to releasably connect.

Als Material für die Deckfolie eignet sich Pappe, laminiertes Papier, Kunststoff, dünnes Stahlblech oder dergleichen.Cardboard, laminated paper, plastic, thin steel sheet or the like are suitable as the material for the cover film.

Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in der Zeichnung dargestellt, deren Figuren zeigen:

  • Figur 1 einen Flaschenkasten, gefüllt mit 3 x 4 Flaschen, versehen mit einer Deckfolie gemäß Erfindung;
  • Figur 2 eine Deckfolie, ähnlich wie in Figur 1 dargestellt, jedoch versehen mit einem Blisterdeckel;
  • Figur 3 eine Deckfolie, die aus zwei aufeinander legbaren Folienblättern besteht.
Exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawing, the figures of which show:
  • Figure 1 shows a bottle crate filled with 3 x 4 bottles, provided with a cover sheet according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a cover film, similar to that shown in Figure 1, but provided with a blister cover;
  • Figure 3 is a cover film consisting of two superimposed film sheets.

In Figur 1 ist ein Flaschenkasten 1 dargestellt, der in üblicher Weise aus Kunststoff hergestellt ist. Der Flaschenkasten besitzt vier Grifflöcher 2, 3, 4, 5 und ist mit drei x vier Flaschen gefüllt, von denen allerdings nur die Flaschenhälse mit den Verschlüssen 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 zu sehen sind. Bei den Flaschen kann es sich um Bier-, Mineral- oder Limonadeflaschen der üblichen Art handeln. Die Flaschenverschlüsse können als Kronenkorken, als Drehverschlußkappe oder auch als Korken gestaltet sein. Erwünscht ist zur besseren Funktion allerdings, daß der Verschluß etwas über die übrige Peripherie des darunterliegenden Flaschenhalsstückes nach außen vorsteht.In Figure 1, a bottle crate 1 is shown, which is made in the usual way from plastic. The bottle crate has four grip holes 2, 3, 4, 5 and is filled with three x four bottles, of which only the bottle necks with the closures 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 can be seen. The bottles can be beer, mineral or lemonade bottles of the usual type. The bottle caps can be designed as a crown cork, as a screw cap or as a cork. For better function, however, it is desirable that the closure protrude somewhat beyond the remaining periphery of the bottle neck piece underneath.

Die Flaschenanordnung wird von einer Deckfolie 12 überdeckt, die im Bereiche zweier gegenüberliegender Kastenkanten 13, 14 mit jeweils drei in Reihe liegenden Perforationen 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 versehen ist, wobei zwischen gegenüberliegenden Perforationsreihen 22, 23 ein planer Mittelbereich 24 angeordnet ist. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß die im Kastenkantenbereich angeordneten Flaschenreihen als Halter für die Deckfolie dienen, während die im übrigen Mittelbereich angeordneten Flaschen überdeckt sind. Ohne Zerstörung der Deckfolie kann daher keine Flasche einzeln entnommen werden. Dies ist insbesondere dann nicht erwünscht, wenn der gesamte Flaschenkasten mit Inhalt als Gebinde verkauft werden soll.The bottle arrangement is covered by a cover film 12, which is in the area of two opposite Box edges 13, 14 are each provided with three perforations 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 lying in series, a flat central region 24 being arranged between opposite rows of perforations 22, 23. This ensures that the rows of bottles arranged in the box edge area serve as holders for the cover film, while the bottles arranged in the remaining central area are covered. No bottle can be removed individually without destroying the cover film. This is particularly undesirable if the entire bottle crate with its contents is to be sold as a container.

Dadurch, daß parallel zu den Perforationsreihen 22, 23 an den Rändern des Mittelbereiches 24 zwei das Biegen erleichternde Bugstreifen 25, 25' vorgesehen sind, läßt sich die Deckfolie 12 etwa in Form eines Daches knicken. Die mit den Perforationsreihen 22, 23 versehenen Randbereiche 22', 23' bilden dabei jeweils gegenüberliegende schräge Streifen.The fact that parallel to the rows of perforations 22, 23 at the edges of the central region 24 provide two bow strips 25, 25 'which facilitate bending, the cover film 12 can be bent approximately in the form of a roof. The edge regions 22 ', 23' provided with the rows of perforations 22, 23 each form opposite oblique strips.

Die beschriebene Deckfolie kann aus Pappe, aus laminiertem Papier, aus Kunststoff oder sogar aus dünnem Blech (Aluminium oder Stahl beispielsweise) gefertigt sein. Die Perforationen 16 - 21 bestehen aus runden Stanzlöchern, deren Durchmesser etwas kleiner sind als der Außendurchmesser der Verschlüsse 6 - 11. Um das Aufstreifen bzw. Aufdrücken der Deckfolie über die Flaschenverschlüsse ohne gravierende Zerstörungen der Folie zu ermöglichen, sind die Stanzlöcher sternförmig mit eingeschnittenen Schlitzen 26 versehen, die sich beim überstreifen der Deckfolie im Bereiche der Perforationen erweitern und kleine Haltezungen bilden.The cover film described can be made of cardboard, laminated paper, plastic or even thin sheet metal (aluminum or steel, for example). The perforations 16 - 21 consist of round punch holes, the diameter of which is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the closures 6 - 11. In order to enable the cover film to be slipped on or pressed on over the bottle closures without serious damage to the film, the punch holes are star-shaped with incised slots 26 provided, which expand when the cover film is slipped on in the area of the perforations and form small retaining tongues.

Wie einleuchtend ist, kann die beschriebene Deckfolie 12 im Mittelbereich bedruckt werden und damit als hervorragender Werbeträger dienen.As is obvious, the cover film 12 described can be printed in the central area and thus serve as an excellent advertising medium.

Um die Befestigung der Folie zu verbessern, gleichzeitig dabei weitere Werbefläche zu schaffen, sind die Randbereiche 22', 23' der Deckfolie 12 nach außen jeweils um einen Folienstreifen 28, 29 verbreitert, der bei aufgelegter Deckfolie 12 zwischen einer Kasteninnenseite und den Flaschenaußenseiten eingesteckt ist. Ein Teil dieses Folienstreifens ist in der Figur 1 durch das Griffloch 5 zu sehen. Insbesondere wird aber auf die Figur 2 verwiesen.In order to improve the fastening of the film, while at the same time creating additional advertising space, the edge regions 22 ', 23' of the cover film 12 are each widened outwards by a film strip 28, 29 which is inserted between a box inside and the bottle outside when the cover film 12 is placed on . A part of this film strip can be seen in FIG. 1 through the grip hole 5. In particular, however, reference is made to FIG. 2.

In Figur 2 ist eine im Mittelbereich 24 geänderte Ausführungsform der vorbeschriebenen Erfindung dargestellt. Der Mittelbereich 24 ist hierbei mit einem oben liegenden Blisterdeckel 30 versehen, der aus einer dünnen, durchsichtigen Kunststoffolie besteht, die an den flachliegenden Flanschrändern 31 mit dem Mittelbereich verklebt oder anderweitig verbunden ist. Unterhalb des Blisterdeckels 30 kann die Deckfolie 12 beispielsweise mit einer Zugabe, wie einem Bierdeckelsortiment oder dergleichen, versehen werden. Der Käufer des Flaschengebindes erhält damit einen zusätzlichen Kaufanreiz. Anstelle des Blisterdeckels 30 kann selbstverständlich auch eine aufgeklebte Kunststofftasche oder ein ähnliches, bekanntes Behältnis verwendet werden.FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the above-described invention that has been modified in the central region 24. The central region 24 is here provided with a blister cover 30 on top, which consists of a thin, transparent plastic film which is glued to the central region at the flat flange edges 31 or is otherwise connected. Below the blister lid 30, the cover film 12 can, for example, be provided with an addition, such as a range of beer mats or the like. The buyer of the bottle container receives an additional incentive to buy. Instead of the blister cover 30, it is of course also possible to use a glued-on plastic bag or a similar, known container.

Eine weitere Ausführungsform ist in der Figur 3 dargestellt. Bei dieser besteht die Deckfolie 12 aus zwei einseitig an ihrem Rand 32 verbundenen Folienblättern 33, 34, die aufeinandergelegt werden können, wobei eine Lasche 35 in einen kompatiblen Schlitz 36 einsteckbar ist. Im übrigen ist die aus den aufeinandergelegten Folienblättern 33, 34 bestehende Deckfolie dann im Prinzip genauso gestaltet wie die der Figur 1. Die entsprechenden Perforationen liegen übereinander. Der freie Mittelbereich 24 ist ebenfalls vorhanden. Diese Ausführungsform eignet sich insbesondere dazu, zwischen den Blättern eine Zugabe, beispielsweise ein bedrucktes T-shirt, zu verpacken. Selbstverständlich sind weitere Verwendungsmöglichkeiten gegeben.Another embodiment is shown in FIG. 3. In this case, the cover film 12 consists of two film sheets 33, 34 which are connected on one side at their edge 32 and can be placed one on top of the other, a tab 35 being insertable into a compatible slot 36. Otherwise, the cover film consisting of the superimposed film sheets 33, 34 is then basically designed in the same way as that of FIG. 1. The corresponding perforations lie one above the other. The free central area 24 is also present. This embodiment is particularly suitable especially to pack an encore, for example a printed t-shirt, between the sheets. Of course, there are other possible uses.

Auch die Ausführungsformen gemäß den Figuren 2 und 3 lassen sich aus den genannten Materialien fertigen. Insbesondere die Ausführungsform gemäß Figur 3 wird vorteilhafterweise aus dünnerem Papier gefertigt, weil die beiden aufeinander gelegten Folienblätter dem Knicken einen relativ hohen Widerstand entgegensetzen.The embodiments according to FIGS. 2 and 3 can also be produced from the materials mentioned. In particular, the embodiment according to FIG. 3 is advantageously made from thinner paper because the two foil sheets placed on top of each other offer a relatively high resistance to kinking.
