Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multipack for a number of cylindrical containers of the same shape and size arranged side by side in at least two parallel longitudinal rows with an essentially rectangular cardboard blank in the form of a strip provided with transverse fold lines, which has a bottom surface on which the containers stand and two opposite one another arranged, foldable, formed by transverse fold lines with the bottom surface connected side or end panels, the height of the folded side or end panels being equal to or less than the height of the container.

It is readily apparent that in this way the bottom surface of the. Package on which the containers stand, can be made somewhat narrower than in the previously described embodiments. Under certain circumstances, this can be a great advantage for creating stackable multi-packs, because in this way the narrow side of the rectangular outline of the multi-pack can be reduced even more.

Abstract

Emballage multiple pour un certain nombre de récipients cylindriques (101), debout les uns à côté des autres au moins en deux rangées longitudinales, de forme et de taille égales. L'enveloppe de l'emballage multiple se compose d'une pièce rectangulaire de carton (110) ayant la forme d'une bande dotée de lignes de pliage transversales. La pièce en forme de bande détermine une surface de fond (111) et deux surfaces latérales ou de parois terminales (112, 113) placées vis-à-vis l'une de l'autre, pouvant se replier vers le haut et rattachées à la surface de fond, dont la hauteur est égale ou inférieure à la hauteur des récipients. Une bande d'entourage (125), traversant les surfaces latérales ou de parois terminales rabattues vers le haut ainsi que les deux côtés non couverts de l'emballage multiple environ à mi-hauteur des récipents, est le seul moyen aussi bien pour garder les récipients ensemble que pour porter l'emballage multiple d'une main ou des deux mains.
