Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Mehrstückpackung aus Karton od.dgl., für mindestens vier in zwei Reihen angeordnete Behälter, wie z.B. Becher, mit einer Bodenwand, zwei an dieser angelenkten Seitenwänden sowie mit einer Deckwand, wobei von der Mitte der Bodenwand ein Wandbereich zwischen den beiden Behälterreihen nach oben verläuft und mit der Deckwand verbunden ist.The invention relates to a multi-piece pack of cardboard or the like for at least four containers arranged in two rows, e.g. Cup, with a bottom wall, two side walls articulated on this and with a top wall, a wall area running from the center of the bottom wall between the two rows of containers and being connected to the top wall.

Aus der US-A-4 377 235 ist eine derartige Mehrstückpackung bekannt, bei der eine Zwischenwand zwischen den Behälterreihen hochsteht und den Abstand zwischen den dort eingestellten Dosen wahrt. Eine derartige Lösung ist aber ausschließlich bei zylindrischen Behältern sinnvoll und befriedigend.Such a multi-piece pack is known from US-A-4 377 235, in which an intermediate wall rises between the rows of containers and maintains the distance between the cans set there. Such a solution is only useful and satisfactory for cylindrical containers.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Mehrstückpackung der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, daß einerseits Behälter mit von der Zylinderform abweichender Form fest in der Verpackung gehalten sind und die gesamte Mehrstückpackung eine stabile Verkaufseinheit bildet, und daß andererseits ein einfaches und damit wirtschaftliches Zusammenfügen der Mehrstückpackung gewährleistet ist.The invention has for its object to design a multi-piece pack of the type mentioned so that on the one hand containers with a shape deviating from the cylindrical shape are firmly held in the packaging and the entire multi-piece pack forms a stable sales unit, and that on the other hand a simple and therefore economical assembly of the Multi-pack is guaranteed.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Bodenwand aus zwei Bodenwandbereichen besteht, zwischen denen mindestens zwei weitere, sich nach oben erstreckende Wandbereiche angeordnet sind, wobei diese weiteren Wandbereiche zwischen die Behälterreihen eingefaltet und mit der Deckwand verbunden sind.This object is achieved in that the bottom wall consists of two bottom wall areas, between which at least two further, upwardly extending wall areas are arranged, these further wall areas being folded between the rows of containers and connected to the top wall.

Eine derartige Verpackung gewährleistet auch bei stark konisch ausgebildeten Behältern, daß die darin gehaltenen Behälter nicht verrutschen oder gar herausfallen können; die gesamte Mehrstückpackung ist fest und stabil und kann zudem sehr einfach hergestellt und aufgerichtet werden.Such packaging ensures, even in the case of strongly conical containers, that the containers held therein cannot slip or even fall out; the entire multi-piece pack is firm and stable and can also be manufactured and erected very easily.

Eine vorteilhafte weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung liegt auch darin, daß zwischen den beiden Bodenwandbereichen drei miteinander verbundene Wandbereiche angeordnet sind, die umgekehrt U-förmig nach oben zwischen die beiden Behälterreihen eingefaltet und durch Verkleben, Versiegeln od.dgl.mit der Deckwand verbunden sind, und daß an wenigstens einem der beiden Bodenwandbereiche Verbindungslappen angeformt sind, die mit dem anderen Bodenwandbereich verbunden sind.An advantageous further embodiment of the invention is also that three interconnected wall areas are arranged between the two bottom wall areas, which are folded upwards in a U-shaped manner between the two rows of containers and are connected to the top wall by gluing, sealing or the like, and that connection tabs are formed on at least one of the two bottom wall areas, which are connected to the other bottom wall area.

Eine solche Mehrstückpackung ist besonders einfach herzustellen und bietet den darin gehaltenen Behältern einen optimalen Schutz. Durch die drei, umgekehrt U-förmig zwischen die beiden Behälterreihen eingefalteten Wandbereiche, von denen die Basis des umgekehrten U mit der Deckwand verklebt ist, erreicht man eine besonders hohe Belastbarkeit der Mehrstückpackung gegen Druck, so daß sie z.B. auf Paletten in vielen Lagen übereinander gestapelt werden kann, ohne daß die verpackten Behälter beschädigt werden.Such a multi-piece pack is particularly easy to manufacture and offers the containers held therein optimum protection. Due to the three, reversely U-shaped folded between the two rows of containers, of which the base of the inverted U is glued to the top wall, the multi-pack can be particularly resilient against pressure, so that it e.g. can be stacked on pallets in many layers one above the other without damaging the packaged containers.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung liegt darin, daß an den beiden Bodenwandbereichen zwei Wandbereiche angeordnet sind, die umgekehrt V-förmig nach oben zwischen die beiden Behälterreihen eingefaltet und mittels an diese angelenkten Verriegelungslappen, welche durch eine in der Deckwand vorgesehene Ausnehmung hindurchtreten, mit der Deckwand verbunden sind.Another advantageous embodiment of the invention is that two wall areas are arranged on the two bottom wall areas, which are folded upwards in a V-shape upwards between the two rows of containers and by means of hinged locking tabs which pass through a recess provided in the top wall, with the Top wall are connected.

Durch die Verbindung der umgekehrt V-förmig nach oben zwischen die Behälterreihen eingefalteten Wandbereiche und der Deckwand mit Hilfe eines Verriegelungslappens, der durch eine Öffnung in der Deckwand hindurchtritt, ist eine besonders einfache Herstellung der Mehrstückpackung möglich.A particularly simple manufacture of the multi-piece pack is possible by connecting the wall regions folded upward in an inverted V-shape upwards between the rows of containers and the top wall with the aid of a locking tab that passes through an opening in the top wall.

Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung liegt darin, daß die zwischen den beiden Bodenwandbereichen vorgesehenen weiteren Wandbereiche miteinander über eine Faltlinie verbunden sind, daß ein Verriegelungslappen von einer Faltlinie zwischen den zwei Wandbereichen ausgehend aus der Fläche eines dieser Wandbereiche ausgestanzt und nach oben gefaltet ist, und daß die Deckwand zwei einander überlappende und miteinander verbundene Deckwandbereiche aufweist, wobei in einem dieser Deckwandbereiche die Ausnehmung vorgesehen ist, durch die der Verriegelungslappen hindurchtritt.An advantageous further development of the invention is that the further wall areas provided between the two bottom wall areas are connected to one another via a fold line, that a locking tab is punched out from the surface of one of these wall areas and folded up from a fold line between the two wall areas, and that the top wall has two overlapping and interconnected top wall areas, the recess through which the locking tab passes being provided in one of these top wall areas.

Durch die Verbindung der umgekehrt V-förmig nach oben zwischen die Behälterreihen eingefalteten Wandbereiche und der Deckwand mit Hilfe eines Verriegelungslappens, der durch eine Öffnung in der Deckwand hindurchtritt, ist eine besonders einfache Herstellung und Aufrichtung der Mehrstückpackung möglich.The connection of the wall areas folded upwards in an inverted V-shape between the rows of containers and the top wall with the aid of a locking tab which passes through an opening in the top wall makes it possible to produce and set up the multi-piece pack in a particularly simple manner.

Dabei ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn gemäß der Erfindung in den zwei Bodenwandbereichen Öffnungen vorgesehen sind, durch welche die Behälter teilweise hindurchzutreten vermögen.It is particularly advantageous if, according to the invention, openings are provided in the two bottom wall areas through which the containers can partially pass.

Dadurch ist es möglich, eine gleich stabile Mehrstückpackung bei geringerem Materialbedarf herzustellen.This makes it possible to produce an equally stable multi-piece pack with a lower material requirement.

Dabei ist es erfindungsgemäß auch möglich, daß ausgehend von einer Faltlinie zwischen dem einen Bodenwandbereich und dem daran anschließenden Wandbereich Verriegelungsteile aus der Fläche dieses Wandbereiches ausgestanzt sind, welche in den im anderen Bodenwandbereich vorgesehenen Öffnungen für den teilweisen Durchtritt der Behälter festgelegt sind.It is also possible according to the invention that, starting from a fold line between the one bottom wall area and the adjoining wall area, locking parts are punched out of the surface of this wall area and are fixed in the openings provided in the other bottom wall area for the partial passage of the containers.

Diese Verriegelungsteile vereinfachen das Verbinden der beiden umgekehrt V-förmig zwischen die zwei Behälterreihen eingefalteten Wandbereiche ganz erheblich.These locking parts considerably simplify the connection of the two inverted V-shaped wall areas folded between the two rows of containers.
