Description

Der Gattung des Patentanspruchs 1 entsprechende Quaderketten sind beispielsweise durch die DE-OS 28 09 231 und die EP 0 003 949 bekannt und zeichnen sich dadurch aus, daß sie auch bei einer häufigen Benutzung an ihren scharnierartigen Gelenkstellen nicht nur einen zuverlässigen Zusammenhalt sondern auch eine die angestrebte Verwandelbarkeit der Kette in vollkommener Weise zulassende Gelenkigkeit gewährleisten.Box chains corresponding to the type of claim 1 are known, for example, from DE-OS 28 09 231 and EP 0 003 949 and are distinguished by the fact that they are not only reliable cohesion but also one that is used frequently at their hinge-like articulation points Ensure the desired convertibility of the chain in a manner that allows full flexibility.

Nachdem solche Ketten.zu in ihren Quadern geeignete Waren aufnehmenden Massenartikeln entwickelt wurden, ist man darauf bedacht, ihre Herstellung aus geeigneten Kartonzuschnitten so weit als möglich zu vereinfachen und zu verbilligen. Ungünstig ist bei den vorgenannten bekannten Quaderketten in dieser Hinsicht aber noch, daß zu ihrer Herstellung jeweils zwei Sätze von je drei Kartonzuschnitten erforderlich sind und die Kette nach Auffaltung ihrer acht Quader somit über die für jeden einzelnen Quader erforderliche Klebeverbindungsstelle hinaus noch sechs weitere scharnierartige Gelenkstellen aufweist, die erst beim Herstellen der Kette entweder mittels entsprechender zusätzlicher Klebelaschen oder durch sorgfältig gegenseitig einzuhängende Kupplungslaschen miteinander verbunden werden müssen. Da diese Arbeiten nur von Hand durchgeführt werden können und entsprechend lohnintensiv sind, fallen die betroffenen Quaderketten selbst bei einer Herstellung in großen Stückzahlen immer noch unerwünscht teuer aus.After such chains have been developed into bulk goods that can accommodate suitable goods in their cuboids, care is taken to simplify and cheapen them as much as possible from suitable cardboard blanks. In this respect, it is also disadvantageous in the case of the aforementioned known rectangular chains that two sets of three cardboard blanks are required in each case and that after the eight rectangular blocks have been unfolded, the chain thus has six further hinge-like articulation points beyond the adhesive connection point required for each rectangular block which only have to be connected to one another when the chain is manufactured, either by means of corresponding additional adhesive tabs or by carefully attaching coupling tabs. Since this work can only be carried out by hand and is correspondingly wage-intensive, the block chains concerned are still undesirably expensive, even if they are produced in large numbers.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die eingangs genannte Kette so zu vervollkommnen, daß zu ihrer Herstellung nach Möglichkeit weniger lohnintensive Handarbeit als bisher aufgewendet werden muß.The object of the invention is to perfect the chain mentioned at the outset in such a way that, if possible, less labor-intensive manual labor than previously has to be used to manufacture it.

Die gestellte Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 wiedergegebene Lehre gelöst.The object is achieved according to the invention by the teaching reproduced in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Dadurch, daß auch die beiden äußeren Quaderpaare der im Gattungsbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 definierten Quaderkette aus jeweils einem von zwei untereinander gleichen zusammenhängenden streifenförmigen Kartonzuschnitten aufgefaltet sind, ergibt sich nicht nur die Vereinfachung, daß nunmehr zur Herstellung der ganzen Quaderkette lediglich noch zwei Paare jeweils untereinander gleicher Kartonzuschnitte benötigt werden, sondern auch noch der weitere große Vorteil, daß über die an jedem einzelnen Quader ohnehin zu dessen formhaltiger Auffaltung erforderliche Klebestelle hinaus an der ganzen Kette lediglich noch vier weitere scharnierartige Gelenkstellen von Hand herzustellen sind. Es liegt auf der Hand, daß dadurch eine wesentlich vereinfachte und verbilligte Herstellung der betroffenen Quaderkette ermöglicht ist.The fact that the two outer pairs of cuboids of the rectangular chain defined in the preamble of claim 1 are each unfolded from one of two identical strip-shaped cardboard blanks, not only simplifies the fact that only two pairs are now identical to one another for producing the entire rectangular chain Cardboard blanks are required, but also the further great advantage that, in addition to the adhesive points required on each individual cuboid for its shape-retaining unfolding, only four further hinge-like articulation points are to be produced by hand on the entire chain. It is obvious that this enables a substantially simplified and cheaper production of the square chain concerned.

Die Patentansprüche 2 bis 4 kennzeichnen bevorzugte Einzelheiten der Gestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen weiteren streifenförmigen Kartonzuschnittes, während die Patentansprüche 5 bis 7 andere, aus den beiden eingangs genannten Druckschriften an sich bereits bekannte vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen kennzeichnen, die einerseits das Füllen der einzelnen als Verpackungsbehälter dienenden Quader erleichtern und anderseits die erwünschte vollständige Gelenkigkeit der einzelnen Quader untereinander selbst dann noch mühelos ermöglichen, wenn bei nur verhältnismäßig kleinen Quadergrößen aufgrund des verwendeten Kartonmaterials sonst mit ungünstigen Widerständen dieses Kartonmaterials gegenüber den beim Verwandeln der Quaderkette erforderlichen gegenseitigen Gelenkbewegungen der einzelnen Quader gerechnet werden müßte.Claims 2 to 4 characterize preferred details of the design of the further strip-shaped cardboard blank according to the invention, while claims 5 to 7 characterize other advantageous configurations known per se from the two documents mentioned at the beginning, which on the one hand facilitate the filling of the individual cuboids serving as packaging containers and On the other hand, the desired complete articulation of the individual cuboids with one another can still be made effortless even if, with only relatively small cuboid sizes, due to the cardboard material used, unfavorable resistances of this cardboard material compared to the mutual articulated movements of the individual cuboids which are required when the cuboid chain is transformed should be expected.

In der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung beispielsweise veranschaulicht; es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine zu einem Rechteckkörper mit nach oben weisenden Deckelwänden geformte und aus acht gleichen Würfeln gebildete Kette in einer perspektivisch gehaltenen Seitenansicht schräg von oben (eine Deckelwand ist zur besseren Sichtbarmachung von Einzelheiten aufgeklappt dargestellt);
  • Fig. 2 und 3 zwei zur Bildung der Würfelkette dienende ausgebreitete Kartonzuschnitte in jeweils einer Draufsicht auf ihre an den aufgefalteten Würfeln innen liegenden Flächen;
  • Fig. 4 eine der Fig. 1 entsprechende Ansicht einer aus langgestreckten Quadern mit je zwei quadratischen Stirnflächen geformten Quaderkette.
In the drawing, the invention is illustrated for example; show it:
  • 1 a chain formed into a rectangular body with top walls pointing upwards and formed from eight identical cubes in a perspective side view obliquely from above (a top wall is shown unfolded for better visibility of details);
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show two expanded cardboard blanks used to form the cube chain, each in a top view of their inner surfaces on the unfolded cubes;
  • Fig. 4 is a view corresponding to FIG. 1 of a rectangular chain formed from elongated cuboids, each with two square end faces.

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellten acht Quader oder Würfel 1 bis 8 sind durch acht scharnierartige Gelenkstellen 9 bis 16 zu einer Kette verbunden, die in nachstehend noch erläuterter Weise wahlweise zu zwei gleichartigen größeren Quadern mit unterschiedlichen Außenflächen verwandelt werden kann und bei der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Zuordnung ihrer Würfel einen Rechteckkörper bildet. Dabei sind einerseits die beiden Würfel 2 und 3 und anderseits die beiden Würfel 6 und 7 jeweils paarweise aus einem von zwei untereinander gleichen Kartonzuschnitten 17 (Fig. 2) aufgefaltet, während von den restlichen Würfeln die Würfel 1 und 5 sowie 8 und 4 jeweils paarweise aus einem von zwei untereinander gleichen Kartonzuschnitten 18 (Fig. 3) aufgefaltet sind. Nachdem somit von jedem der beiden Kartonzuschnitte 17 und 18 zwei Exemplare zum Auffalten von zwei verschiedenen Würfelpaaren Verwendung finden, sind in den Fig. 2 und 3 jeweils die vom zweiten Exemplar des Zuschnitts aufzufaltenden Würfel 6 und 7 bzw. 8 und 4 in Klammern gekennzeichnet. In gleicher Weise sind auch alle weiteren, den einzelnen Würfeln 1 bis 8 gesondert zugeordneten Bezugszeichen in den Fig. 2 und 3 jeweils in Klammern angeführt, sofern sie den Würfeln 6 und 7 bzw. 8 und 4 zugeordnet sind.The eight cuboids or cubes 1 to 8 shown in Fig. 1 are connected by eight hinge-like articulation points 9 to 16 to form a chain, which can be optionally converted into two similar larger cuboids with different outer surfaces in the manner explained below and in which in Fig. 1 shown assignment of their cubes forms a rectangular body. On the one hand, the two cubes 2 and 3 and, on the other hand, the two cubes 6 and 7 are each unfolded in pairs from one of two cardboard blanks 17 (FIG. 2) that are identical to one another, while the other cubes 1 and 5 as well as 8 and 4 are each unfolded in pairs are folded out from one of two cardboard blanks 18 (FIG. 3) that are identical to one another. After two copies of each of the two cardboard blanks 17 and 18 are used to unfold two different pairs of cubes, the cubes 6 and 7 or 8 and 4 to be unfolded by the second copy of the blank are identified in brackets in FIGS. 2 and 3, respectively. In the same way, all further reference numerals assigned to the individual cubes 1 to 8 in FIGS. 2 and 3 are also given in parentheses, provided that they are assigned to the cubes 6 and 7 or 8 and 4.

Der Kartonzuschnitt 17 ist symmetrisch zu seiner zugleich eine scharnierartige Gelenkstelle 13 bzw. 14 aufnehmenden Mittelquerachse 19 ausgebildet, wobei diese Gelenkstellen, wie auch sämtliche weiteren Gelenkstellen 9 bis 12 sowie 15 und 16 der Würfelkette jeweils aus einem zwischen den verbundenen Seitenkanten - gemäß den Fig. 1 und 2 beispielsweise zwischen der Seitenkante 20 des Würfels 6 und der Seitenkante 21 des Würfels 7 - befindlichen zusätzlichen Wandstreifen 22 des Kartonmaterials einer etwa der drei- bis fünffachen Wandstärke des Kartonmaterials entsprechenden Breite bestehen. Dieser zusätzliche Wandstreifen 22 bildet zwischen den in üblicher Weise durch je eine Falzlinie gebildeten Seitenkanten 20 und 21 genügend Material, welches zwischen den Würfeln die Gelenkbewegungen aufnimmt, ohne daß dazu Kartonmaterial der eigentlichen Würfel herangezogen zu werden braucht.The cardboard blank 17 is formed symmetrically to its central transverse axis 19, which at the same time receives a hinge-like hinge point 13 or 14, these hinge points as well all further articulation points 9 to 12 and 15 and 16 of the cube chain each from an additional wall strip 22 of the cardboard material located between the connected side edges - according to FIGS. 1 and 2, for example between the side edge 20 of the cube 6 and the side edge 21 of the cube 7 about three to five times the wall thickness of the cardboard material corresponding width. This additional wall strip 22 forms enough material between the side edges 20 and 21 formed in the usual manner by a fold line in each case, which absorbs the joint movements between the cubes without the cardboard material of the actual cubes needing to be used.

Außerdem ist jeder Wandstreifen 22 durch ein im Mittelbereich der verbundenen Seitenkanten 20 und 21 verlaufendes Langloch 23 zu zwei an den beiden Enden der verbundenen Seitenkanten 20 und 21 befindlichen Verbindungslaschen 22a und 22b gekürzt. Dabei sind die beiderseits jedes Langloches 23 gebildeten Verbindungslaschen 22a und 22b in Längsrichtung des Wandstreifens 22 etwa halb so lang wie das Langloch 23. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß durch die Langlöcher 23 einer gegenüber der Breite der Wandstreifen 22 etwa zwei- bis dreimal so großen Breite die Flexibilität der Gelenkstellen noch derart weiter vergrößert wird, daß schon die leeren äußeren Würfelpaare 1, 5 und 4, 8 des in Fig. 1 dargestellten Rechteckkörpers durch ihr Eigengewicht auf die Unterlage der Würfelkette absinken und die Rechteckform des in Fig. 1 dargestellten Rechteckkörpers sich damit schon bei leeren Würfeln zwanglos ergibt. Dies ist wichtig, weil dadurch die Würfelkette in der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Form eines Rechteckkörpers mit nur einfachen üblichen Halterungen durch eine Füllvorrichtung bewegt werden kann, durch die die Würfel in einfacher Weise in einem einzigen Durchgang gefüllt werden können.In addition, each wall strip 22 is shortened by an elongated hole 23 running in the central region of the connected side edges 20 and 21 to form two connecting lugs 22a and 22b located at the two ends of the connected side edges 20 and 21. The connecting straps 22a and 22b formed on both sides of each elongated hole 23 in the longitudinal direction of the wall strip 22 are approximately half as long as the elongated hole 23. It has been shown that through the elongated holes 23 one is two to three times larger than the width of the wall strip 22 Width the flexibility of the articulation points is further increased in such a way that the empty outer pairs of cubes 1, 5 and 4, 8 of the rectangular body shown in FIG. 1 sink through their own weight onto the base of the chain of cubes and the rectangular shape of the rectangular body shown in FIG. 1 this results in a casual way even with empty cubes. This is important because it allows the cube chain in the form of a rectangular body shown in FIG. 1 to be moved with only simple, conventional holders by a filling device, through which the cubes can be filled in a simple manner in a single pass.

Für diese einfache Füllmöglichkeit ist es weiterhin wichtig, daß die Würfel 1 bis 8 wenigstens in einer zu einem Rechteckkörper vereinigten Lage, wie sie in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist, sämtlich leicht nach oben zu öffnende Deckelwände D1 bis D8 aufweisen.For this simple filling possibility, it is also important that the cubes 1 to 8 all have lid walls D 1 to D 8 that can be easily opened upwards in a position combined into a rectangular body, as shown in FIG. 1.

Zum Auffalten der beiden Würfel jedes Kartonzuschnittes 17 werden die beiden äußeren Klebelaschen 24 und 25 nach einem Auf- und Gegeneinanderfalten der beiden Zuschnittenden gegen die zugeordneten, beiderseits der Gelenkstelle 13 bzw. 14 anschließenden Seitenwände des jeweiligen Würfels - einerseits des Würfels 2 bzw. 3 und anderseits des Würfels 6 bzw. 7 - geklebt.To unfold the two cubes of each cardboard blank 17, the two outer adhesive tabs 24 and 25 are folded after the two blank ends have been unfolded and against one another against the associated side walls of the respective cube, which adjoin the articulation point 13 and 14, on the one hand, the cube 2 and 3 and on the other side of the cube 6 or 7 - glued.

Wie aus Fig. 3 hervorgeht, besteht jeder der beiden weiteren streifenförmigen Kartonzuschnitte 18 aus zwei je einem Würfel - einerseits Würfel 1 bzw. 5 und anderseits Würfel 8 bzw. 4 - zugeordneten Hälften 18a und 18b, die in Längsrichtung des Kartonzuschnitts 18 jeweils vier aufeinanderfolgende gleiche Seitenwände - einerseits a, b, c und d sowie anderseits a', b', c' und d' - des zugeordneten Würfels bilden und deren in bezug auf den Streifen mittigen stirnseitigen Seitenwände a und a' quer zum Streifen benachbart und über eine auf einer Längsachse 18' des Kartonzuschnitts 18 liegende scharnierartige Gelenkstelle, und zwar bei dem zur Bildung der beiden Würfel 1 und 5 dienenden Kartonzuschnitt 18 die Gelenkstelle 15 und bei dem zur Bildung der beiden Würfel 8 und 4 dienenden Kartonzuschnitt 18 die Gelenkstelle 16, miteinander verbunden sind.As can be seen from FIG. 3, each of the two further strip-shaped cardboard blanks 18 consists of two halves 18a and 18b, each associated with a cube - on the one hand cubes 1 and 5 and on the other hand cubes 8 and 4, which each have four successive ones in the longitudinal direction of the cardboard blank 18 form the same side walls - on the one hand a, b, c and d and on the other hand a ', b', c 'and d' - of the assigned cube and their end walls and a 'a' adjacent to the strip in the middle adjacent to and across a strip on a longitudinal axis 18 'of the cardboard blank 18 hinge-like hinge point, namely in the case of the cardboard blank 18 used to form the two cubes 1 and 5, the hinge point 15 and in the case of the cardboard blank 18 used to form the two cubes 8 and 4, the hinge point 16, connected to one another are.

Weiterhin geht aus Fig. 3 hervor, daß von den weiteren Seitenwänden b, c, d der einen Hälfte 18a die der mittig des Streifens gelegenen stirnseitigen Seitenwand a benachbarte (b) und von den weiteren Seitenwänden b', c' und d' der anderen Hälfte 18b die in bezug auf den Streifen äußere stirnseitige Seitenwand d' jeweils an ihrer quer zur Längsachse 18' äußeren Seitenkante eine über jeweils eine der scharnierartigen Gelenkstellen - und zwar bei dem zur Bildung der beiden Würfel 1 und 5 dienenden Kartonzuschnitt 18 die Gelenkstelle 9 bzw. 11 und bei dem zur Bildung der beiden Würfel 8 und 4 dienenden Kartonzuschnitt 18 die Gelenkstelle 12 bzw. 10 - anschließende Klebelasche 28 bzw. 29 aufweist.3 that the other side walls b, c, d of one half 18a are adjacent to the front side wall a located in the middle of the strip (b) and of the other side walls b ', c' and d 'of the other Half 18b, the outer side wall d 'with respect to the strip, in each case on its outer side edge transversely to the longitudinal axis 18', one over each of the hinge-like articulation points - specifically in the case of the cardboard blank 18 used to form the two cubes 1 and 5, the articulation point 9 or 11 and in the case of the cardboard blank 18 used to form the two cubes 8 and 4, the joint point 12 or 10 - has a subsequent adhesive flap 28 or 29.

Schließlich ist aus Fig. 3 auch zu entnehmen, daß an die in Längsrichtung des Streifens äußerste Seitenwand d der einen Hälfte 18a eine Deckelwand - bei dem zur Bildung der beiden Würfel 1 und 8 dienenden Kartonzuschnitt 18 die Dekkelwand D1 und bei dem zur Bildung der ' beiden Würfel 8 und 4 dienenden Kartonzuschnitt 18 die Deckelwand Dg - auf ihrer der Längsachse 18' abgelegenen Seite und an die dieser benachbarte Seitenwand c eine Bodenwand - bei dem zur Bildung der beiden Würfel 1 und 5 dienenden Kartonzuschnitt 18 die Bodenwand B1 und bei dem zur Bildung der beiden Würfel 8 und 4 dienenden Kartonzuschnitt 18 die Bodenwand B8 - auf ihrer in Längsrichtung der Längsachse 18' verlaufenden Seite anschließt, und daß an die der inneren Seitenwand a' benachbarte Seitenwand b' der anderen Hälfte 18b eine Deckelwand - bei dem zur Bildung der beiden Würfel 1 und 5 dienenden Kartonzuschnitt 18 die Deckelwand D5 und bei dem zur Bildung der beiden Würfel 8 und 4 dienenden Kartonzuschnitt 18 die Deckelwand D4 - auf ihrer der Längsachse 18' abgelegenen Seite und an die dieser Seitenwand b' anderseits benachbarte Seitenwand c' auf deren in Richtung der Längsachse 18' verlaufenden Seite eine Bodenwand - bei dem zur Bildung der beiden Würfel 1 und 5 dienenden Kartonzuschnitt 18 die Bodenwand B5 und bei dem zur Bildung der beiden Würfel 8 und 4 dienenden Kartonzuschnitt 18 die Bodenwand B4 - anschließt.Finally, it can also be seen from FIG. 3 that on the outermost side wall d of the one half 18a in the longitudinal direction of the strip there is a cover wall - in the case of the carton blank 18 used to form the two cubes 1 and 8, the lid wall D 1 and in that to form the 'Two cube 8 and 4 serving cardboard blank 18, the cover wall Dg - on its side remote from the longitudinal axis 18' and to the side wall adjacent to this c a bottom wall - in the cardboard blank 18 serving to form the two cube 1 and 5, the bottom wall B 1 and the cardboard blank 18 used to form the two cubes 8 and 4 is connected to the bottom wall B 8 - on its side running in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal axis 18 ', and that to the inner side wall a' adjacent side wall b 'of the other half 18b is a top wall - at the lid wall D 5 for the cardboard blank 18 used to form the two cubes 1 and 5 and the cardboard blank 18 used for forming the two cubes 8 and 4 the top wall D 4 - on its side remote from the longitudinal axis 18 'and on the side wall c' adjacent to this side wall b 'on its side running in the direction of the longitudinal axis 18' a bottom wall - in the case of the cardboard blank used to form the two cubes 1 and 5 18 the bottom wall B 5 and in the case of the carton blank 18 used to form the two cubes 8 and 4, the bottom wall B 4 - connects.

Die in gleicher Weise mittels je einer Klebelasche 26 und 27 aus den Kartonzuschnitten 18 aufgefalteten Würfel - einerseits 1 und 5 sowie anderseits 8 und 4 - werden mittels je einer zugleich eine scharnierartige Gelenkstelle - einerseits 9 bzw. 11 und anderseits 12 bzw. 10 - bildenden, nach außen vorstehenden Klebelasche 28 bzw. 29 mit der benachbarten Seitenwand 30 bzw. 31 des Würfels - einerseits 2 bzw. 3 und anderseits 6 bzw. 7 (vgl. Fig. 2) - verbunden.The cubes unfolded in the same way by means of an adhesive flap 26 and 27 from the cardboard blanks 18 - on the one hand 1 and 5 and on the other hand 8 and 4 - are each formed by a hinge-like hinge point - on the one hand 9 or 11 and on the other hand 12 or 10 , outwardly projecting adhesive tab 28 or 29 with the adjacent side wall 30 or 31 of the cube - on the one hand 2 or 3 and on the other hand 6 or 7 (see FIG. 2) - connected.

Damit die auch zum späteren Zugang zu den Würfelinhalten dienenden Deckelwände D1 bis D8 leicht aus ihrer geschlossenen Stellung aufgeschwenkt werden können, weist jede derselben im Mittelbereich ihrer in eine Einstecklasche 32 übergehenden, zugleich eine Falzlinie bildenden Seitenkante 33 (vgl. Fig. 1) einen aus dem Kartonmaterial der Einstecklasche 32 ausgestanzten und über die Seitenkante 33 nach außen vorstehenden Griffansatz 34 auf.So that the cover walls D 1 to D 8, which are also used for later access to the cube contents, can be easily swung open from their closed position, each of them has in the central region of its side edge 33 which transitions into an insertion flap 32 and at the same time forms a fold line (cf. FIG. 1) a punched out from the cardboard material of the insertion tab 32 and projecting beyond the side edge 33 out on the handle extension 34.

Wie bereits erwähnt, kann der gemäß Fig. 1 aus den acht Würfeln 1 bis 8 gebildete Rechteckkörper zu einem größeren Würfel mit gegenüber den vorgenannten Würfeln doppelt so langen Seitenkanten verwandelt werden, wenn die jeweils äußeren beiden Würfelpaare 1 und 5 sowie 4 und 8 um die Gelenkstellen 9 und 11 bzw. 10 und 12 nach oben einwärts bis zur Auflage ihrer Deckelwände - einerseits D1 und D5 sowie anderseits D4 und D8 auf den Deckelwänden - einerseits D2 und D6 und anderseits D3 und D7 - der Würfel 2, 6, 3 und 7 herumgeklappt werden. Derselbe, in Fig. 1 dargestellte Rechteckkörper kann aber auch zu einem gleichartigen größeren Würfel mit gegenüber dem vorgenannten anderen Außenflächen verwandelt werden, wenn zunächst die beiden nebeneinander verlaufenden Würfelreihen - einerseits 1 bis 4 und anderseits 5 bis 8 - um ihre miteinander fluchtenden Gelenkstellen 15 und 16 um jeweils 90° bis zur gegenseitigen Anlage ihrer Bodenwände (z.B. B1 und B5 sowie B4 und B8 gemäß Fig. 3) geschwenkt werden und dann die beiden gemäß Fig. 1 linken und rechten Hälften der Würfelkette - einerseits mit den Würfeln 1, 2, 5 und 6 und anderseits mit den Würfeln 3, 4, 7 und 8 - um ihre nunmehr miteinander fluchtenden Gelenkstellen 13 und 14 bis zur gegenseitigen Anlage der gemäß der Darstellung in Fig. 1 oberen und unteren Seitenwände (z.B. c und c' der Würfel 1 und 4 sowie c' und der Würfel 5 und 8 gemäß Fig. 3) aufeinander zu geschwenkt werden.As already mentioned, the rectangular body formed from the eight cubes 1 to 8 according to FIG. 1 can be converted into a larger cube with side edges that are twice as long as the aforementioned cubes, if the outer two pairs of cubes 1 and 5 as well as 4 and 8 around the Articulation points 9 and 11 or 10 and 12 upwards until their cover walls rest - on the one hand D 1 and D 5 and on the other hand D 4 and D 8 on the cover walls - on the one hand D 2 and D 6 and on the other hand D 3 and D 7 - the Dice 2, 6, 3 and 7 can be folded around. The same rectangular body shown in Fig. 1 can also be converted into a similar larger cube with compared to the aforementioned other outer surfaces, if first the two rows of cubes running side by side - on the one hand 1 to 4 and on the other hand 5 to 8 - around their mutually aligned hinge points 15 and 16 are pivoted through 90 ° in each case until their bottom walls rest against one another (for example B 1 and B 5 and B 4 and B 8 according to FIG. 3) and then the two left and right halves of the cube chain according to FIG. 1 - on the one hand with the cubes 1, 2, 5 and 6 and on the other hand with the cubes 3, 4, 7 and 8 - around their joint points 13 and 14, which are now aligned with each other, until the upper and lower side walls (for example c and c 'the cube 1 and 4 and c' and the cube 5 and 8 according to FIG. 3) are pivoted towards each other.

Die Erfindung wurde vorstehend anhand einer Kette beschrieben, die aus acht Würfeln zusammengesetzt ist. Die Erfindung ist jedoch nicht an solche Würfelketten gebunden und könnte vielmehr gemäß der Darstellung in Fig. 4 auch aus untereinander gleich großen Quadern mit jeweils zwei quadratischen Stirnflächen bestehen, infolge der aus einem Vergleich mit Fig. 1 hervorgehenden weitgehenden Übereinstimmung aller Einzelheiten dieser Quaderkette mit der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Würfelkette erübrigt sich eine weitergehende Beschreibung der in Fig. 4 dargestellten Quaderkette, deren Quader an ihren an langen Seitenkanten befindlichen scharnierartigen Gelenkstellen jeweils zwei Langlöcher 23a aufweisen.The invention has been described above with reference to a chain which is composed of eight cubes. However, the invention is not tied to such cube chains and, rather, as shown in FIG. 4, could also consist of cuboids of equal size, each with two square end faces, as a result of a comparison of FIG 1 does not require a further description of the cuboid chain shown in FIG. 4, the cuboids of which each have two elongated holes 23a at their hinge-like articulation points located on long side edges.

Die einzelnen Würfel oder sonstigen Quader könnten im übrigen noch mit Fenstern oder ähnlichen Ausschnitten versehen sein, die beispielsweise durch die EP 0 003 949 vorbekannt sind und deshalb hier keiner weiteren Erwähnung bedürfen. Solche Fenster oder Ausschnitte, die zweckmäßig innerhalb des Würfels durch eine Cellophanschicht oder eine sonstige durchsichtige Kunststoffschicht verdeckt sind, ermöglichen gewünschtenfalls die Zurschaustellung der in den Würfeln oder Quadern aufgenommenen Waren.The individual cubes or other cuboids could also be provided with windows or similar cutouts, which are known for example from EP 0 003 949 and therefore do not need to be mentioned here. Such windows or cutouts, which are expediently covered within the cube by a cellophane layer or another transparent plastic layer, make it possible, if desired, to display the goods accommodated in the cubes or cuboids.

Wenn die von Hand herzustellenden scharnierartigen Gelenkstellen beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel auch Klebelaschen 28, 29 umfassen, deren Verklebung einen besonders zuverlässigen verkantungsfreien Zusammenhalt der verbundenen Würfel gewährleistet, so könnten diese Gelenkstellen gewünschtenfalls doch auch durch Zusammenkuppeln entsprechender Kupplungslaschen an den beiden Kartonzuschnitten 17 und 18 gebildet werden, wie sie beispielsweise in der EP 0 011 065 offenbart sind.If the hinge-like articulation points to be produced by hand also comprise adhesive tabs 28, 29 in the illustrated embodiment, the bonding of which ensures a particularly reliable canting-free cohesion of the connected cubes, these articulation points could, if desired, also be formed by coupling corresponding coupling tabs on the two cardboard blanks 17 and 18, as disclosed for example in EP 0 011 065.
