Definitions

  • the invention relates to a folding sleeve for a plurality of objects arranged in two rows next to one another with a top surface, two side walls and a bottom, which consists of two sections which are connected to one another for closing the folding sleeve, the bottom section lying inside when closed has recesses into which engage the other, outer, bottom portion of the punched-out rag.
  • the folding sleeve according to US-A 4131230 D2 also has bottom portions with rags against which the set containers abut. However, these rags cannot provide sufficient support for the containers.
  • the object of the invention is to design a folding envelope of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it is easy to erect and lock and at the same time provides the packaging containers with a sufficient hold.
  • the rags hold the two bottom sections together in an easy-to-implement manner and, due to their erected position, additionally provide a secure hold for the objects placed in the folding cover, since these are supported on the rags with their lower sections.
  • Fig. 1 in Fig. 1 denotes a flat cardboard blank, which has a top surface 2, on which two side walls 3 and 4 are articulated.
  • the top surface 2 carries two flaps 5 and 6, which form Serve end walls.
  • a bottom section 7 and 8 is articulated.
  • Three tabs 9 are punched out of the bottom section 7 and are hingedly attached to the bottom section along a fold line 10.
  • the bottom section 8 is equipped with three recesses 11, in each of which two tabs 12, 13 are arranged, which are fastened along bending lines 14 and 15 to the bottom section. Both tabs 12, 13 are provided with wedge-shaped incisions 16 which are aligned with one another and the openings of which are directed towards one another.
  • Two relatively short flaps 17, 18 are articulated laterally on the bottom section 7 and are connected to the flaps 5 and 6 when they are raised.
  • the floor is formed by superimposing the two floor sections 7 and 8, section 7 being on the outside and section 8 on the inside and both being glued together.
  • the flaps 9 are pressed inwards, taking with them the flaps 12 and 13 which lie against the cups placed in the packaging. In the end position of the tabs 9, these engage in the incisions 16, as a result of which the tabs mutually lock and the cups 19 experience a hold in their lower region.
  • eight circular holes 20 are punched out in the top surface 2, which serve for the top side of the set cups 19 to be recognized.
