Definitions

  • the invention relates to a box according to the preamble of claim 1. It also relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 4.
  • Such a box is known and described, for example, in DE-A-33 13 170, together with an automatic packaging system for such a box, the packaging system following a closing station at which the tabs are locked, for aligning the tabs in the transport direction extending fingers or guides, two lateral fingers engaging under the tabs and the third middle finger engaging from above between the tabs underlaid by both lateral fingers when the box is transported by the fingers with the conveyor.
  • chocolate boxes are popular gift items. There is a wish to provide the boxes of chocolates with congratulations for the relevant occasion, e.g. "Happy Easter”, “Mother's Day”, “Warmest regards” etc., whereby these labels should be available in the respective language for export products.
  • the known box is for packaging very few, e.g. determined one or two chocolates. It is therefore correspondingly small, so that in addition to the unchangeable inscriptions and pictures there is no space for the changeable data, at least in no clearly visible place.
  • the invention is based on the object of designing the known small chocolate box in such a way that it can be provided with changeable data in a clearly visible place and reliably fixed, and to provide a device which accomplishes this.
  • a box 1 consists of a main part 2 for receiving e.g. two chocolates.
  • the main part 2 consists of two string walls 3 and 4 and two side walls 5 and 6, which extend upwards from a rectangular bottom.
  • the two end walls 3 and 4 and the two side walls 5 and 6 each have an upper closing flap 7 and 8 or 9 and 10.
  • the upper closing flaps 7 and 8 of the side walls 5 and 6 are bent over the inwardly curved closing flaps 9 and 10 of the end walls 3 and 4 in an ogival shape.
  • the upper closing flaps 7 and 8 of the side walls 5 and 6 are each provided with a tab 11, 12.
  • Each tab 11, 12 has a hooking incision 13, 14 which runs in the area of the upper edge of the associated upper closing flap 9, 10. By engaging the two hooking incisions 13, 14, the tabs 11 and 12 are locked.
  • the hooking incisions 13, 14 are each opposite another incision 15, 16, which also extends in the area of the upper edge of the upper closing flaps 7, 8.
  • the incisions 15, 16 have a substantially smaller depth than the interlocking incisions 13, 14.
  • the pin 19 is designed as a card, which consists for example of cardboard and / or plastic. This card is with changing dates and motifs, e.g. with the inscription "Happy Holidays" and a corresponding Christmas motif.
  • the card or badge 19 has an incision 20 which extends obliquely from a narrow side of the card in the direction of the lower edge 21 of the broad side of the card.
  • the stretcher 19 is inserted with its incision 20 in the hooking incision 14 in the tab 12, the portion which lies below the oblique incision 20 protruding through the hooking incision 14 and the lower edge 21 of the clip-on 19 the nose 15 5 rests.
  • the plug 19 is pressed firmly against the tab 11 and held securely.
  • the secure fixation of the plug-on device 19 is brought about by the tension with which the two closing flaps 9 and 10 bent inward in the shape of an ogive move away from one another, i.e. to the outside, are burdened. Because of the tension of the closing flap 9, which is loaded to the outside, the section of the plug-on connector 19 below the incision 20 is pressed upward, so that the section of the plug-on connector 19 above the incision 20 is pressed against the upper side of the tab 11.
  • the plug 19 can, however, also be glued to the tab 11.
  • the adhesive is then expediently metered in such a way that, before it solidifies, it runs down the tab 11 to the point 22 where the hooking cuts 13, 14 touch one another.
  • Box 1 is made of cardboard.
  • the surface of the cardboard is then torn at the adhesive point.
  • the torn surface area at the glue point 22 is clearly visible after opening the box 1. In this way it is possible to determine whether the box has been opened without authorization.
  • the device for the automatic packaging of chocolates in the boxes 1 has a disk 23, which can be rotated about a vertical axis, as a transport device, around which a total of eight stations 24 to 31 are arranged.
  • This packaging system is described in detail in DE-A-33 13 170.
  • the most important stations are a first station 24 for feeding the boxes 1 and a station 26 for filling e.g. two chocolates 32 in each box 1 and a station 29 for closing the boxes 1.
  • a station 30 is provided, at which the plug-on connectors 19 are pushed onto the closed boxes 1.
  • the remaining stations 25, 27 and 28 can be empty stations or can be provided for further operations, for example a station 25 or 27 for gluing the bottom flaps or for inserting a guarantee certificate onto the chocolates 32 in the box 1.
  • the drive of the turntable 23 is designed such that the boxes 1 are transported from one station to the next station 24 to 31 in cycles.
  • DE-A-33 13 170 For further details of this system, reference is made to DE-A-33 13 170.
  • the device for plugging the connector 19 onto the boxes 1 at the station 30 is shown in FIG. 4.
  • two guide rails 33, 34 are provided above the turntable 23, which transports the boxes 1, which engage under the two tabs 11, 12 of the box 1.
  • the two guide rails 33, 34 can directly connect to the two lateral fingers of the tab alignment, which are provided according to DE-A-33 13 170 after the closing station 29.
  • a holding element for the attachments 19 in the form of a suction device 36 is provided.
  • the suction device 36 is arranged on a swivel arm 37 which can be swiveled about an axis 38 which lies opposite the upper side of the tab 11 on which the plug 19 is to be brought into contact, the swivel axis 38 being transverse to that in FIG. 4 indicated by an arrow transport direction of the box 1.
  • the pivot axis 38 of the pivot arm 37 is further arranged on a lever arm 39 which is rotatable about an axis 40 parallel to the pivot axis 38 of the pivot arm 37.
  • the axis 40 is held in a support plate 45.
  • a cam 41 is also attached, which cooperates with a control roller 42.
  • the control roller 42 is rotatably connected to the pivot axis 38 of the pivot arm 37 via a control arm 43.
  • the control roller 42 is loaded on the cam disc 41 by a tension spring 50 which acts on the one hand on the support plate 45 and on the other hand on a lever arm 46 which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the pivot axis 38 of the pivot arm 37.
  • a pull stand 51 is provided on the lever arm 52 for actuation.
  • a depressor 48 is provided, with which the tab 11, on the top of which the plug 19 is brought into contact, is pressed against the guide rail 33.
  • the device 49 is designed such that a drop of adhesive is dispensed per box 1, to an area of the tab 11 above the contact point 22 (FIG. 1) of the two hooking incisions 13 and 14, so that the adhesive reaches the contact point 22 and so that the aforementioned protection against unauthorized opening of the box is formed.
