Abstract

1. A carry pack made from a board blank for bottles in particular, with a V-Shaped folded handle including a hand hole (6), to the top edge of which cut and creased strips of material (7, 71; 8, 81) are hinged via a hinge line (72, 82) which rest against each other to keep the two layers of the handle apart, wherein each of the two cut and creased strips of material (7, 71; 8, 81) is divided into two sections by means of a folding line and the free end of each free second section is supported in the join line between the two layers (4, 5) of the handle, thus keeping the first sections the required distance away from the join line.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Trageverpackung aus einem Kartonzuschnitt, insbesondere für Flaschen, mit einem V-förmig gefalteten Handgriff, in dem eine Grifföffnung vorgesehen ist, bei der ausgestanzte Materialstreifen am oberen Rand über eine Anlenklinie angelenkt sInd. die als Abstandhalter der beiden Lagen sich aneinander abstützend fungieren, sowie ein Verfahren zum Aufrichten einer solchen Trageverpackung und eine Vorrichtung dazu.The invention relates to a support package made of a cardboard blank, in particular for bottles, with a V-shaped folded handle in which a handle opening is provided in the stamped strip of material at the top edge hinged on a hinge line s I nd. As spacers of the two layers is act in a supportive manner, as well as a method for erecting such a carrying packaging and a device therefor.

Aus der DE-AS 2723957 ist eine solche Trageverpackungen bekannt, die aber in der Praxis nicht befriedigt. Insbesondere, wenn verhältnismäßig schwere Flaschen verpackt werden sollen, ist eine befriedigende Gestaltung des Handgriffs schwierig. Um ein Einreissen zu verhindern, wurden daher -beispielsweise in der US-PS 2694488 und der FR-PS 1282673-schon vierlagige Griffkonstruktionen vorgeschlagen, die aber auf einen V-förmig gefalteten Handgriff nicht ohne weiteres übertragbar sind. Darüber hinaus befriedigen auch diese Griffkonstruktionen nicht völlig.Such carrier packaging is known from DE-AS 2723957, but is unsatisfactory in practice. Particularly when relatively heavy bottles are to be packed, a satisfactory design of the handle is difficult. In order to prevent tearing, four-layer handle constructions have already been proposed, for example in US Pat. No. 2,694,488 and FR Pat. No. 1,286,673, but are not readily transferable to a V-shaped handle. In addition, these handle designs are also not entirely satisfactory.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Trageverpackung der genannten Art zu schaffen, deren Handgriff bei geringem Materialverbrauch äußerst stabil istThe present invention has for its object to provide a carrier packaging of the type mentioned, the handle is extremely stable with low material consumption

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die beiden ausgestanzten Materialstreifen durch eine Faltkante in jeweils zwei Abschnitte unterteilt sind und der jeweilige zweite, freie Abschnitt als Abstandhalter zur Fettkante der beiden Lagen mit seinem freien Ende sich in der Falte abstütztThis object is achieved in that the two punched strips of material are divided into two sections by a folded edge and the respective second, free section as a spacer to the fat edge of the two layers is supported with its free end in the fold

Der so eingefaltete Materialstreifen fixiert dabei den Winkel zwischen den beiden Lagen des Handgriffs und stützt sich seinerseits mit seinem freien Ende wirksam ab. Dadurch wird ein Einreissen der Trageverpackung insbesondere im Bereich der Grifföffnung wirksam verhindert.The material strip folded in this way fixes the angle between the two layers of the handle and in turn is supported effectively with its free end. This effectively prevents tearing of the carrying packaging, particularly in the area of the handle opening.

Sehr vorteilhaft ist es auch, wenn erfindungsgemäß die Grifföffnung nach unten erweitert ist und sich damit der Materialstreifen zu seinem freien Ende hin verbreitert. Damit wird die Abstützlänge des Materialstreifens wirksam vergrößert und eine noch größere Festigkeit des Handgriffs erzieltIt is also very advantageous if, according to the invention, the handle opening is widened downwards and the material strip thus widens towards its free end. This effectively increases the support length of the material strip and achieves an even greater strength of the handle

Als sehr vorteilhaft hat es sich auch erwiesen, wenn erfindungsgemäß in Verlängerung der jeweiligen Anlenklinie der Materialstreifen an den beiden Lagen des Handgriffs je eine Faltlinie vorgesehen ist.It has also proven to be very advantageous if, according to the invention, a fold line is provided at each of the two layers of the handle in the extension of the respective articulation line.

Dadurch werden beim unbeabsichtigten Umfalten des oberen Randstückes des Handgriffs sonst auftretende Materialbrüche verhindert. Diese Materialbrüche würden ein Einreissen des Kartons und damit eine Zerstörung des Handgriffs fördern.This prevents material breakages that otherwise occur when the upper edge of the handle is accidentally folded over. These material breaks would tear the carton and thus destroy the handle.

Ein vorteilhaftes Verfahren zum Aufrichten einer Trageverpackung aus einem Kartonzuschnitt für insbesondere Flaschen ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Kartonzuschnitt mit Hilfe von Saugeinrichtungen einer Verformeinrichtung zugeführt wird, wobei eine Saugeinrichtung an dem Materialstreifen im Bereich der Grifföffnung angreift und diesen entlang einer Anlenklinie nach unten abbiegt, worauf der Kartonzuschnitt auf ein Faltlineal aufgeschoben wird,das den Materialstreifen um etwa 90° nach unten umfaltet, worauf der freie Abschnitt des Materialstreifens entlang einer Faltlinie um weitere etwa 90° umgebogen wird, und daß im Anschluß daran die beiden Lagen des Handgriffs von oben her gegeneinander gefaltet werden, wobei von der Innenseite her eine Unterstützung erfolgt..An advantageous method for erecting a carrying package from a cardboard blank for bottles in particular is characterized in that the cardboard blank is fed to a deforming device with the aid of suction devices, wherein a suction device engages the material strip in the region of the handle opening and bends it down along an articulation line, whereupon the cardboard blank is pushed onto a folding ruler which folds the strip of material down by approximately 90 °, whereupon the free section of the strip of material is bent along a folding line by a further approximately 90 °, and that the two layers of the handle are then against one another from above folded, with support from the inside ..

Damit wird die Trageverpackung in ihrem doch verhältnismäßig komplizierten Bereich des Handgriffs einfach und rationell aufgerichtet.The carrying packaging is thus erected simply and rationally in its relatively complicated area of the handle.

Eine vorteilhafte Vorrichtung zum Aufrichten einer Trageverpackung der genannten Art ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß ein Vorratsstapel für mehrere Kartonzuschnitte vorgesehen ist, der mit Saugeinrichtungen in Verbindung steht, welche jeweils einen Kartonzuschnitt einer Verformeinrichtung zuführen, die mit Führungsleisten zum Auflegen des Kartonzuschnittes versehen ist und wenigstens ein Faltlineal aufweist, das unterhalb des Kartonzuschnittes angeordnet ist und hinter den Materialstreifen im Bereich der Grifföffnung greift, und daß eine Führungsleiste vorgesehen ist, die sich oberhalb des Kartonzuschnittes erstreckt und die beiden Lagen des Handgriffes gegeneinander faltet.An advantageous device for erecting a carrying package of the type mentioned is characterized according to the invention in that a supply stack for several carton blanks is provided, which is connected to suction devices, which each feed a carton blank to a shaping device which is provided with guide strips for placing the carton blank and at least has a folding ruler, which is arranged below the cardboard blank and engages behind the material strips in the region of the handle opening, and that a guide bar is provided which extends above the cardboard blank and folds the two layers of the handle against each other.

Eine solche Vorrichtung ist sehr einfach und damit funktionssicher aufgebaut Sie hat als bewegte Teile neben den Saugeinrichtungen lediglich noch eine einfache Transportvorrichtung für den Kartonzuschnitt, mit der dieser an den Faltlinealen bzw. Verformleisten entlang transportiert wird.Such a device is very simple and thus functionally reliable. As moving parts, in addition to the suction devices, it only has a simple transport device for the cardboard blank, with which it is transported along the folding rulers or deforming strips.

Jeweils ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Trageverpackung und einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zu ihrem Aufrichten ist in der Zeichnung veranschaulicht. Dabei zeigen:

  • Fig. 2 einen flachliegenden Zuschnitt zum Herstellen der Trageverpackung nach Fig. 1 mit einem darunter angeordneten schematisch dargestellten Vorrichtungsabschnitt und
  • Fig. 3 bis 9 schematische Darstellungen von weiteren Vorrichtungsabschnitten.
In each case, an exemplary embodiment of a carrying packaging according to the invention and a device according to the invention for erecting them is illustrated in the drawing. Show:
  • 1 is a diagrammatic representation of a carrying packaging for six bottles, the heads of which protrude from the top of the packaging and between which a handle stands upwards,
  • Fig. 2 shows a flat blank for producing the carrier package according to Fig. 1 with a schematically illustrated device section arranged underneath and
  • 3 to 9 are schematic representations of further device sections.

Mit 1 ist in Fig. 1 eine Trageverpackung bezeichnet von der sechs Flaschen 2 umhüllt sind. Die Hälse dieser Flaschen ragen oben aus der Trageverpackung heraus, die mit einem Handgriff 3 versehen ist, der zwischen den Hälsen nach oben ragt. Der Handgriff ist zweilagig - Lagen 4 und 5 - ausgebildet und V-förmig gefaltet. In beiden Lagen 4 und 5 ist jeweils eine Grifföffnung 6 vorgesehen; der dabei ausgestanzte Materialstreifen 7,71 bzw. 8,81 (Fig. 9) ist am oberen Rand der Grifföffnung an der jeweiligen Lage 4 bzw. 5 angelenkt und nach innen eingefattet Die Abschnitte 7 und 8 dienen dabei als Abstandhalter der beiden Lagen 4 und 5 voneinander, während die Abschnitte 71 und 81 nach oben gefaltet sind und sich mit ihrem freien Ende an der Innenseite der Verbindungslinie 9 der beiden Lagen abstützen.1 in FIG. 1 is a carrier packaging from which six bottles 2 are encased. The necks of these bottles protrude from the top of the carrying packaging, which is provided with a handle 3 which projects upwards between the necks. The handle has two layers - layers 4 and 5 - and is folded in a V-shape. A handle opening 6 is provided in each of the two layers 4 and 5; the material strip 7, 71 or 8.81 (FIG. 9) punched out is articulated at the upper edge of the handle opening at the respective layer 4 or 5 and is greased inwards. Sections 7 and 8 serve as spacers of the two layers 4 and 5 from each other, while the sections 71 and 81 are folded up and are supported with their free end on the inside of the connecting line 9 of the two layers.

In Fig. 2 liegt ein noch nicht gefalteter Kartonzuschnitt 10 auf einem errten Abschnitt einer Vorrichtung auf, in welcher der Handg.:ff gefaltet wird. Die Vorrichtung ist mit vier schwenkbar gelagerten Saugeinrichtungen 11, 12, 13 und 14 versehen, welche gemeinsam hochschwenken, einen Kartonzuschnitt von einem Vorratsstapel 15 abnehmen und auf Führungsleisten 16, 17 und 18 der Vorrichtung auflegen. Fig. 3 zeigt den gleichen Vorrichtungsabschnitt wie Fig. 2, jedoch im Vertikalschnitt; dabei sind die beiden Saugeinrichtungen 11 und 14 bereits abgeschaltet und haben sich etwas unter den Kartonzuschnitt abgesenkt. Die beiden anderen Saugeinrichtungen 12 und 13 greifen an den beiden Materialstreifen 7,71 und 8,81 an und falten diese um ihre jeweilige Anlenklinie 72 und 82 nach unten. Von einer nicht dargestellten Vorschubeinrichtung wird dann der Kartonzuschnitt zum nächsten Abschnitt der Vorrichtung geschoben. Dort sind zwei Faltlineale 19 und 20 vorgesehen, die beim Verschieben des Kartonzuschnittes 10 zwischen diesen und den bereits leicht nach unten vorgebogenen Materialstreifen 7,71 und 8,81 eingreifen. Oberhalb des Kartonzuschnittes 10 ist noch eine weitere Führungsleiste 21 angeordnet, die im Bereich der Führungsleiste 17 liegt und den Kartonzuschnitt nach oben abstützt.In Fig. 2, a cardboard blank 10 which has not yet been folded rests on a section of a device in which the handle: ff is folded. The device is provided with four swivel-mounted suction devices 11, 12, 13 and 14, which swivel up together, remove a cardboard blank from a supply stack 15 and place it on guide strips 16, 17 and 18 of the device. Fig. 3 shows the same device section as Fig. 2, but in vertical section; the two suction devices 11 and 14 are already switched off and have lowered somewhat below the cardboard blank. The two other suction devices 12 and 13 engage the two material strips 7, 71 and 8, 81 and fold them down about their respective articulation lines 72 and 82. The carton blank is then pushed to the next section of the device by a feed device, not shown. There two folding rulers 19 and 20 are provided which engage when the cardboard blank 10 is shifted between the latter and the material strips 7, 71 and 8, 81 which are already slightly bent downwards. A further guide bar 21 is arranged above the carton blank 10, which lies in the region of the guide bar 17 and supports the carton blank upwards.

Im in Fig. 6 dargestellten Abschnitt der Vorrichtung sind die Faltlineale 19 und 20 senkrecht nach unten gerichtet, so daß auch die Materialstreifen nach unten abgebogen sind.In the section of the device shown in FIG. 6, the folding rulers 19 and 20 are directed vertically downwards, so that the strips of material are also bent downwards.

Die Fig. 7 zeigt die beiden Faltlineale 19, 20 in einem abgewinkelten Zustand, wodurch auch die Materialstreifen abgewinkett sind.7 shows the two folding rulers 19, 20 in an angled state, as a result of which the strips of material are also angled.

Die beiden Faltlineale gehen dann in ein einziges Faltlineai 19/20 mit zuerst T-förmigem Querschnitt über, wie dies in Fig. 8 gezeigt ist. Dabei nimmt gleichzeitig die Führungsleiste 21 eine U-förmige Gestalt an, so daß die beiden Lagen 4 und 5 des Handgriffs um die Verbindungslinie 9 zueinander gefaltet werden. Der Endzustand ist dann in dem in Fig. 9 gezeigten Abschnitt der Vorrichtung dargestellt.The two folding rulers then merge into a single folding ruler 19/20 with a first T-shaped cross section, as shown in FIG. 8. At the same time, the guide bar 21 assumes a U-shaped shape, so that the two layers 4 and 5 of the handle are folded around the connecting line 9 to one another. The final state is then shown in the section of the device shown in FIG. 9.

Der Kartonzuschnitt wird dann in üblicher, und nicht dargestellter Weise auf die Flaschen 2 aufgesetzt und an seiner Unterseite durch Verkleben oder Verhaken geschlossen.The cardboard blank is then placed on the bottles 2 in a conventional manner, not shown, and closed on its underside by gluing or hooking.

In den Fig. 1 und 2 sind die dort dargestellte Trageverpackung 1 bzw. der Kartonzuschnitt 10 mit zwei zusätzlichen Faltlinien 22, 23 versehen, die in Verlängerung der Anlenklinien 72, 82 verlaufen. Diese beiden zusätzlichen Faltlinien erhöhen die Flexibilität des Handgriffs, so daß beim unsachgemäßen Umbiegen des oberen Handgriffteiles ein Einreissen vermieden wird.1 and 2, the carrying packaging 1 shown there or the cardboard blank 10 are provided with two additional folding lines 22, 23 which extend in the articulation lines 72, 82. These two additional fold lines increase the flexibility of the handle, so that tearing is avoided if the upper handle part is improperly bent.
