Abstract

The bottle carrier is made of a single-part cardboard blank having recesses, in which the bottles engage with their tops and are supported by a bead. An annular collar, which is sealed in an adhesive seam, surrounds the shoulders of the bottles. Folded in between the bottles are wall pieces and gusset areas which guarantee the bottle carrier sufficient rigidity and thus a firm hold of the bottles. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen aus einem einteiligen Kartonzuschnitt hergestellen Flaschenträger für wenigstens zwei oder mehr Flaschen, der mit Ausnehmungen versehen ist, in welche die Flaschen mit ihrem Kopf eingreifen, wobei sich ein vorstehender Wulst der Flaschen an den die Ausnehmungen umgebenden Randabschnitten abstützt, wobei ein ringförmig ausgebildeter Kragen vorgesehen ist, der die Schultern der Flaschen umgreift und durch eine Klebenaht verschlossen ist.The invention relates to a bottle carrier made of a one-piece cardboard blank for at least two or more bottles, which is provided with recesses into which the bottles engage with their heads, a protruding bulge of the bottles being supported on the edge portions surrounding the recesses, one being annular trained collar is provided, which encompasses the shoulders of the bottles and is closed by an adhesive seam.

In der Praxis ist eine Vielzahl solcher Flaschenträger bekannt (z.B. US-A 4 190 149). Darüber hinaus zeigt die EP-OS 01 08 614 einen Flaschenträger, der aus einem einteiligen Kartonzuschnitt hergestellt ist. Dieser Kartonzuschnitt ist im Bereich der Ecken und der Ausnehmungen für die Flaschenköpfe mit angespritztem Kunststoff verstärkt. Dadurch ergibt sich zwar ein sehr guter Halt des Trägers selbst und der Flaschen, der Träger ist jedoch verhältnismässig aufwendig und teuer. Darüber hinaus ist der maschinelle Aufwand für das Anspritzen des Kunststoffes sehr groß, weshalb er nur fertig hergestellt zum Verwender geliefert werden kann.A large number of such bottle carriers are known in practice (e.g. US-A 4 190 149). In addition, EP-OS 01 08 614 shows a bottle holder which is made from a one-piece cardboard blank. This cardboard blank is reinforced with molded plastic in the area of the corners and the recesses for the bottle heads. This results in a very good hold of the carrier itself and the bottles, but the carrier is relatively complex and expensive. In addition, the mechanical effort for the injection molding of the plastic is very large, which is why it can only be delivered to the user in a finished state.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Flaschenträger der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, dass seine Herstellung einfach und kostengünstig ist.The invention has for its object to design a bottle carrier of the type mentioned in such a way that its manufacture is simple and inexpensive.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass der Kragen im Bereich jeder Flasche mit mehreren Prägelinien versehen ist, dass im Bereich zwischen jeweils zwei Flaschen am oberen Rand des Kragens jeweils ein Wandstück angelenkt ist, wobei die Wandstücke in die horizontale Lage gefaltet einander berühren und eine im wesentlichen geschlossene Fläche bilden und dass die Wandstücke durch in sich faltbare Zwickelflächen verbunden sind.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the collar in the area of each bottle is provided with a plurality of embossing lines, in that in the area between two bottles in each case a wall piece is articulated at the upper edge of the collar, the wall pieces folded in the horizontal position touching one another and one form essentially a closed surface and that the wall pieces are connected by foldable gusset surfaces.

Ein derartiger Flaschenträger wird nur durch eine einzige Klebenaht verschlossen, kann dann flachgelegt und erst beim Aufstülpen auf die Flaschen wieder aufgerichtet werden. Er erhält durch die nach unten umgefalteten und durch die Zwickelflächen unter Spannung gehaltenen Wandstücke eine sehr grosse Eigenstabilität und damit einen sehr guten Halt für die Flaschen.A bottle carrier of this type is closed only by a single adhesive seam, can then be laid flat and only be erected again when the bottles are put on. The wall pieces folded down and kept under tension by the gusset surfaces give it a very high degree of inherent stability and thus a very good hold for the bottles.

Bei einem Flaschenträger, der für wenigstens drei Flaschen vorgesehen ist, liegt eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung darin, dass die am Kragen angelenkten Wandflächen im wesentlichen die Form eines Dreiecks aufweisen. Durch diese erfinderische Ausgestaltung wird eine besonders hohe Stabilität des Flaschenträgers erzielt.In the case of a bottle carrier which is provided for at least three bottles, a particularly advantageous embodiment is that the wall surfaces articulated on the collar have essentially the shape of a triangle. A particularly high stability of the bottle carrier is achieved by this inventive configuration.

Sehr vorteilhaft ist es auch, wenn erfindungsgemäss an den Wandstücken beiderseits je ein in eine Ausnehmung hineinragender Ansatz über eine Faltlinie angelenkt ist.It is also very advantageous if, according to the invention, an extension projecting into a recess is articulated on both sides of the wall pieces via a fold line.

Beim Durchstecken des Flaschenkopfes weichen diese Ansätze zurück, um dann aufgrund ihrer Elastizität unter den vorstehenden Wulst der Flasche zu greifen und deren sicheren Halt zu gewährleisten.When the bottle head is pushed through, these lugs move back, to then reach under the protruding bead of the bottle due to their elasticity and to ensure their secure hold.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung liegt darin, dass in den zwischen jeweils zwei Ausnehmungen liegenden Bereichen des Kragens eine Fingeröffnung vorgesehen ist. Dadurch lässt sich der Flaschenträger leicht erfassen und transportieren.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that a finger opening is provided in the regions of the collar lying between two recesses. This makes the bottle carrier easy to grasp and transport.

In der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung anhand von zwei Ausführungsbeispielen veranschaulicht. Dabei zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 einen flachliegenden Kartonzuschnitt zum Herstellen eines Flaschenträgers für drei Flaschen,
  • Fig. 2 den Kartonzuschnitt gemäß Fig. 1, jedoch mit verschlossener Klebenaht und wieder flachgelegt,
  • Fig. 3 ebenfalls einen flachliegenden Kartonzuschnitt zum Herstelen eines Flaschenträgers, allerdings für vier Flaschen und
  • Fig. 4 einen aufgerichteten und mit Flaschen bestücken Flaschenträger, der aus dem Zuschnitt gemäss Fig. 3 gebildet ist.
The invention is illustrated in the drawing using two exemplary embodiments. Show:
  • 1 is a flat cardboard blank for making a bottle carrier for three bottles,
  • 2 shows the cardboard blank according to FIG. 1, but with a sealed adhesive seam and laid flat again,
  • Fig. 3 also a flat cardboard blank for making a bottle carrier, but for four bottles and
  • Fig. 4 shows an erected bottle carrier equipped with bottles, which is formed from the blank according to FIG. 3.

Mit 1 ist in Fig. 1 ein Kartonzuschnitt bezeichnet, der einen Kragen 2 aufweist, an den Wandstücke 3,4 und 5 angelenkt sind. Diese Wandstücke sind im wesentlichen dreieckig ausgebildet und liegen mit ihrer Grundlinie über eine Faltlinie 6,7 bzw. 8 am Kragen 2 an. Beiderseits dieser Wandstücke ist, die Faltlinien 6,7 und 8 unterbrechend, je eine Ausnehmung 9,10,11 und 11' vorgesehen, wobei die beiden Ausnehmungen 11 und 11' in aufgerichtetem Zustand des Kartonzuschnittes eine einzige Ausnehmung ergeben.1 in FIG. 1 denotes a cardboard blank which has a collar 2 to which wall pieces 3, 4 and 5 are articulated. These wall pieces are essentially triangular and rest on the collar 2 with their base line over a fold line 6, 7 or 8. On both sides of these wall pieces, interrupting the folding lines 6, 7 and 8, a recess 9, 10, 11 and 11 'is provided, the two recesses 11 and 11' providing a single recess in the erected state of the cardboard blank.

Die beiden der Grundlinie gegenüber liegenden Begrenzungskanten der Wandstücke 3,4 und 5 sind als Faltlinien 12 bis 17 ausgebildet und verbinden die Wandstücke mit Zwickelflächen 18,19,20 und 20'. An der Zwickelfläche 20 ist eine Klebelasche 21 angeformt, mit deren Hilfe die beiden Zwickelflächen 20 und 20' beim Aufrichten des Zuschnittes zu einer einzigen Zwickelfläche verbunden werden. Dem gleichen Zweck, nämlich der Bildung eines Flaschenträgers aus dem Kartonzuschnitt, dient auch eine Klebelasche 22, die an einem Ende des Kragens 2 angeformt ist und dessen Vereinigung zu einem geschlossenen Ring ermöglicht. An den Wandstücken 3,4 und 5 sind über weitere Faltlinien 23 bis 28 Ansätze 29 bis 34 angeformt, die in die Ausnehmungen 9,10 und 11 bzw. 11' hineinragen. In den Bereichen des Kragens 2, die zwischen zwei Ausnehmungen liegen, ist jeweils eine Fingeröffnung vorgesehen, zu deren Bildung ein Lappen 35,36 bzw. 37 entlang einer Linie 38,39 bzw. 40 ausgestanzt ist. Diese Linie endet jeweils an der Faltlinie 6,7 bzw. 8, so dass der Lappen entlang dieser Linie nach innen umgebogen werden kann.The two boundary edges of the wall pieces 3, 4 and 5 lying opposite the base line are designed as fold lines 12 to 17 and connect the wall pieces to gusset surfaces 18, 19, 20 and 20 '. An adhesive flap 21 is formed on the gusset surface 20, by means of which the two gusset surfaces 20 and 20 'are connected to form a single gusset surface when the blank is erected. The same purpose, namely the formation of a bottle carrier from the cardboard blank, is also served by an adhesive flap 22 which is integrally formed on one end of the collar 2 and which enables it to be combined into a closed ring. On the wall pieces 3, 4 and 5, further fold lines 23 to 28 form projections 29 to 34, which protrude into the recesses 9, 10 and 11 or 11 '. In the regions of the collar 2, which lie between two recesses, a finger opening is provided in each case, for the formation of which a tab 35, 36 or 37 is punched out along a line 38, 39 or 40. This line ends at fold lines 6, 7 and 8, respectively, so that the flap can be bent inwards along this line.

Durch das Wandstück 3, den Lappen 35 sowie den darunter liegenden Abschnitt des Kragens 2 verläuft eine Faltlinie 41, während sich eine zweite Faltlinie 42 durch die Zwickelfläche 19 und den darunter liegenden bogenförmigen Abschnitt des Kragens 2 erstreckt. Darüber hinaus weist auch die Zwickelfläche 18 eine Faltlinie 43 die Zwickelfläche 20 eine Faltlinie 44 auf, über welche die Klebelasche 21 an ihr angelenkt ist.A fold line 41 runs through the wall piece 3, the flap 35 and the section of the collar 2 lying underneath, while a second fold line 42 extends through the gusset surface 19 and the arcuate section of the collar 2 below it. In addition, the gusset surface 18 also has a fold line 43 and the gusset surface 20 has a fold line 44, via which the adhesive flap 21 is articulated to it.

In den bogenförmigen Abschnitten des Kragens 2 sind noch Prägelinien 45 vorgesehen, die eine Verformung des Kragens erleichtern.Embossing lines 45 are also provided in the arcuate sections of the collar 2, which facilitate deformation of the collar.

Zum Herstellen eines Flaschenträgers wird der Kartonzuschnitt 1 derart aufgerichtet, dass der Kragen 2 einen Ring bildet. Die Klebelasche 22 wird mit dem gegenüberliegenden freien Ende des Kragens verklebt; das gleiche geschieht mit der Klebelasche 21, die mit der Zwickelfläche 20'verbunden wird.To produce a bottle carrier, the cardboard blank 1 is erected such that the collar 2 forms a ring. The adhesive tab 22 is glued to the opposite free end of the collar; the same happens with the adhesive tab 21, which is connected to the gusset surface 20 '.

Entlang der Faltlinien 41 und 42 kann der nun gebildete Flaschenträger, der für drei Flaschen vorgesehen ist, flachgelegt werden, wie dies in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist.The bottle carrier now formed, which is intended for three bottles, can be laid flat along the fold lines 41 and 42, as shown in FIG. 2.

In Fig. 3 ist ein weiterer Kartonzuschnitt 101 dargestellt, der im wesentlichen dem nach Fig. 1 entspricht, jedoch für einen Flaschenträger zum Zusammenfassen von vier Flaschen vorgesehen ist. Der Kragen 102 hat deshalb jeweils vier bogenförmige und vier geradlinige Abschnitte sowie drei gleiche Ausnehmungen 109 und eine zusammengesetzte Ausnehmung 111 bzw. 111'. Alle übrigen Teile entsprechen völlig denen des Kartonzuschnittes 1. So sind über Faltlinien 106 bzw. 107 Wandstücke 104 am Kragen 102 angelenkt. Diese Wandstücke 104 tragen über Faltlinien 112 und 113 Zwickelflächen 118, 120 und 120'. Darüber hinaus sind über Faltlinien 123, 124 Ansätze 130,131 angelenkt.FIG. 3 shows a further carton blank 101, which essentially corresponds to that according to FIG. 1, but is provided for a bottle carrier for combining four bottles. The collar 102 therefore has four arcuate and four rectilinear sections, as well as three identical recesses 109 and a composite recess 111 and 111 ', respectively. All other parts correspond completely to those of the cardboard blank 1. Thus, wall pieces 104 are hinged to the collar 102 via folding lines 106 and 107, respectively. These wall pieces 104 carry gusset surfaces 118, 120 and 120 'via fold lines 112 and 113. In addition, folds 123, 124 attachments 130, 131 are articulated.

Beim in Fig. 4 dargestellen Ausführungsbeispiel sind vier Flaschen 100 in einem Flaschenträger zusammengefasst, der aus dem Kartonzuschnitt 101 gemäss Fig. 3 aufgerichtet ist. Die Flaschen sind mit Schraubverschlüssen 150 ausgerüstet, die von unten durch die Ausnehmungen 109 (in Fig. 4 durch die Flaschenhälse ausgefüllt) gesteckt sind. Mit einem Wulst 151 stützen sich dabei die Flaschen 100 auf den die Ausnehmungen umgebenden Rand des Kragens 102 bzw. an den Ansätzen 130, 131 ab. Die Wandstücke 104 sind nach unten gefaltet und werden durch die in sich gefalteten Zwickelflächen 118, 120,120' in dieser Stellung gehalten. Eine zusätzliche Fixierung der Wandstücke bzw. der Zwickelfläche ist dabei nicht vorgesehen.In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 4, four bottles 100 are combined in a bottle holder, which is erected from the cardboard blank 101 according to FIG. 3. The bottles are equipped with screw caps 150 which are inserted from below through the recesses 109 (filled in by the bottle necks in FIG. 4). With a bead 151, the bottles 100 are supported on the rim of the collar 102 surrounding the recesses or on the shoulders 130, 131. The wall pieces 104 are folded downwards and are held in this position by the gusset surfaces 118, 120, 120 'which are folded into themselves. An additional fixation of the wall pieces or the gusset surface is not provided.
