Abstract

Die Erfindung bezieht sich im wesentlichen auf die Herstellung einer Faltschachtel, die der Aufnahme von Trinkröhrchen dient. Das Ziel der Erfindung ist darin zu sehen, die Trinkröhrchen aus der Faltschachtel entnehmen zu können, ohne daß dabei eines der Trinkröhrchenenden berührt wird. Dies geschieht in der Weise, daß der Schachtelzuschnitt bei seiner Herstellung eine entsprechend angeordnete Perforierung erfährt, die im Bedarfsfall der Erstellung einer neuartig angeordneten Entnahmeöffnung dient.The invention relates essentially to the manufacture of a folding box which is used to hold drinking tubes. The aim of the invention is to be able to remove the drinking tubes from the folding box without touching one of the ends of the drinking tubes. This is done in such a way that the box blank experiences a correspondingly arranged perforation during its manufacture, which, if necessary, serves to create a newly arranged removal opening.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Zuschnitts für eine zur Aufnahme von Trinkröhrchen dienende, mit einer Entnahmeöffnung versehene Faltschachtel. Derartige Behältnisse sind im Handel unter der Bezeichnung "Dispenser-Box" bekannt.The invention relates to a method for producing a blank for a folding box serving to receive drinking tubes and provided with a removal opening. Such containers are known commercially under the name "dispenser box".

Bei jenen bekannten, rechteckig und schachtelartig ausgebildeten Behältnissen wird die obere und/oder die untere Schmalseite der Schachtel geöffnet, um ein oder mehrere Trinkröhrchen entnehmen zu können. Dabei ist es unvermeidlich, daß das Trinkröhrchen - es kann ein z.B. Strohhalm oder ein aus einem Kunststoff bestehendes Röhrchen (drinking straw) sein - an zumindest einem Ende berührt wird. Dies aber ist aus sterilen bzw. hygienischen Gründen unerwünscht, weil die hiermit verbundene Übertragung von Krankheitserregern beträchtlich ist. Dies ist insbesondere dann der Fall, wenn das Trinkröhrchen z.B. in Krankenhäusern od. dergl. verwendet wird.In those known, rectangular and box-shaped containers, the upper and / or the lower narrow side of the box is opened in order to be able to remove one or more drinking tubes. It is inevitable that the drinking tube - it can e.g. Straw or a straw made of plastic (drinking straw) - is touched on at least one end. However, this is undesirable for sterile or hygienic reasons, because the associated transmission of pathogens is considerable. This is particularly the case if the drinking tube e.g. is used in hospitals or the like.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Entnahme eines Trinkröhrchens aus dem Behältnis in der Weise zu gewährleisten, daß eine Berührung des einen oder anderen Röhrchenendes nicht möglich ist.The invention has for its object to ensure the removal of a drinking tube from the container in such a way that touching one or the other tube end is not possible.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht erfindungsgemäß darin, daß in dem Zuschnitt eine als Entnahmeöffnung zu erstellende Perforation eingestanzt wird, als dann Zuschnitt zu einem schachtelartigen Behältnis gefaltet wird, die nach erfolgter Befüllung der Faltschachtel mit Trinkröhrchen ebenfalls zugeklebt wird, und schließlich im Bedarfsfall unter Aufreißen der Perforation die Entnahmeöffnung derart gebildet wird, daß die Trinkröhrchen ohne Berührung des einen und/oder des anderen Röhrchenendes einzeln aus der Faltschachtel entnommen werden können.The solution to this problem is, according to the invention, that a perforation to be created as a removal opening is punched into the blank, then the blank is folded into a box-like container, which is also sealed after the folding box has been filled with drinking tubes, and finally, if necessary, by tearing open the Perforation the removal opening is formed such that the drinking tubes can be removed individually from the folding box without touching one and / or the other tube end.

Um zu gewährleisten, daß dem Benutzer der nach der Erfindung geschaffenen Faltschachtel kein Irrtum unterläuft, ist vorgesehen, daß der Zuschnitt bzw. die fertiggestellte Faltschachtel im Bereich der Perforation mit einem die Entnahmeöffnung zu erstellenden Aufdruck bzw. Hinweis oder dergleichen versehen wird.In order to ensure that the user of the folding box created according to the invention does not make a mistake, it is provided that the blank or the finished folding box is provided in the area of the perforation with an imprint or notice or the like to be created for the removal opening.

Für die Anbringung der Perforation und damit der Entnahmeöffnung bieten sich mehrere Möglichkeiten an, ohne daß von der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung abgewichen wird. Eine vorzugsweise Ausführung besteht darin, daß die Perforation im wesentlichen an einer sich längs erstreckenden Schmalseite vorgesehen ist. Diese auf der Zeichnung dargestellte Anordnung hat sich als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen. Es ist aber auch denkbar, daß die Perforation - und damit die zu erstellende Entnahmeöffnung - auf einer der Breitseiten der Faltschachtel eingestanzt wird.There are several options for attaching the perforation and thus the removal opening without deviating from the solution according to the invention. A preferred embodiment is that the perforation is provided essentially on a longitudinally extending narrow side. This arrangement shown in the drawing has proven to be particularly advantageous. But it is also conceivable that the perforation - and thus the removal opening to be created - is stamped on one of the broad sides of the folding box.

Die Erfindung ist in einem Ausführungsbeispiel auf der Zeichnung dargestellt. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 den Zuschnitt und
  • Fig. 2 die mit Trinkröhrchen angefüllte Faltschachtel
The invention is shown in an embodiment on the drawing. Show it:
  • Fig. 1 the blank and
  • Fig. 2 the folding box filled with drinking tubes

Gemäß Fig. 1 ist ein Zuschnitt 1 dargestellt, der aus den Längsseiten 2, den Schmalseiten 3 und den Breitseiten 6 besteht. Eine der Längsseiten 2 ist - und zum Teil auch die dazugehörige Breitseite 6 ist mit einer Perforation 4 versehen. Ein Hinweis 8 zeigt dem Benutzer an, auf welche Weise die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Entnahmeöffnung 10 herzustellen ist.1, a blank 1 is shown, which consists of the long sides 2, the narrow sides 3 and the broad sides 6. One of the long sides 2 is - and in part also the associated broad side 6 is provided with a perforation 4. A note 8 shows the user how the removal opening 10 shown in FIG. 2 is to be produced.

In Fig. 2 ist die aus dem Schnitt 1 gefaltete und an ihren Längs-, Breit- und Schmalseiten verklebte oder dergleichen fertiggestellte Faltschachtel 5 dargestellt. Die Einfüllöffnung 9 (verschlossen) läßt eine Entnahme der mit 7 bezeichneten Trinkröhrchen nicht zu. Letzteres geschieht - wie dargestellt - durch die Entnahmeöffnung 10, die durch Auf- bzw. Abreißen der Perforation 4 entstanden ist. Es ist jeweils ein Trinkröhrchen 7 zu entnehmen, wobei letzteres zwischen Daumen und Zeigefinger im letzten Drittelerfaßt und aus der Faltschachtel 5 herausgezogen wird. Es ist ohne weiteres ersichtlich, daß hierbei die Röhrchenenden nicht berührt werden.2 shows the folding box 5, which has been folded from section 1 and has been glued to its long, wide and narrow sides or has been finished. The filling opening 9 (closed) does not permit removal of the drinking tubes denoted by 7. The latter happens - as shown - through the removal opening 10, which is created by tearing or tearing the perforation 4. A drinking tube 7 can be removed in each case, the latter being gripped between the thumb and index finger in the last third and pulled out of the folding box 5. It is readily apparent that the tube ends are not touched.

Im gezeichneten Ausführungsbeispiel handelt es sich um Trinkröhrchen 7, die im letzten Drittel ihrer Länge abknickbar sind, also um solche, die vornehmlich benutzt werden. Die Erfindung ist aber nicht auf derartige Trinkröhrchen eingeschränkt, vielmehr sind auch nicht abknickende Trinkröhrchen verwendbar.In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, there are drinking tubes 7 which can be bent in the last third of their length, that is to say those which are primarily used. However, the invention is not restricted to such drinking tubes; rather, non-kinking drinking tubes can also be used.
