Abstract

Packaging made of cardboard or the like for cup-shaped containers (25) arranged in two rows, with a bottom (5), two side walls (3, 4) and a cover wall (2), with incisions (1-14) in the region of the fold lines between cover and side walls and with two cut lines (20, 21) which are provided in the bottom in the region of each container, run in an arcuate manner and the ends of which are connected respectively by means of a fold line (22, 23) which runs parallel to the bottom fold lines. The bottom sections (24) thus delimited are folded over upwards about these fold lines to bear against the wall of the container. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Verpackung aus Karton od.dgl. für in zwei Reihen angeordnete becherförmige Behälter, mit einem Boden, zwei Seitenwänden sowie einer Deckwand, wobei im Bereich der zwischen den einzelnen Wänden liegenden Faltlinien Einschnitte vorgesehen sind, in welche die Behälter eingreifen.The invention relates to packaging made of cardboard or the like. for cup-shaped containers arranged in two rows, with a bottom, two side walls and a top wall, wherein incisions are provided in the area of the fold lines lying between the individual walls, into which the containers engage.

Derartige Verpackungen sind bekannt und haben sich für becherförmige Behälter, die an ihren oberen Flanschrändern miteinander verbunden sind, hervorragend bewährt. Sollen jedoch einzelne becherförmige Behälter verpackt werden, so reicht der ihnen gewährte Halt im allgemeinen nicht aus.Such packaging is known and has proven itself extremely well for cup-shaped containers which are connected to one another at their upper flange edges. However, if individual cup-shaped containers are to be packaged, the hold granted to them is generally not sufficient.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verpackung der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, daß auch einzelne Behälter sehr gut festgelegt werden.The invention has for its object to design a packaging of the type mentioned so that individual containers are very well defined.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß im Boden im Bereich eines jeden zu verpackenden Behälters zwei bogenförmig verlaufende Schnittlinien vorgesehen sind, deren Enden durch jeweils eine parallel zu den Boden-Faltlinien verlaufende Faltlinie verbunden sind, um welche die von den Schnittlinien abgegrenzten Bodenabschnitte nach oben zur Anlage an die Wand des Behälters umfaltbar sind.This object is achieved in that in the floor in the area of each container to be packed there are two curved cutting lines, the ends of which are connected by a folding line running parallel to the bottom folding lines, around which the cutting lines are delimited Bottom sections can be folded up to rest against the wall of the container.

Dadurch wird jeder Behälter am unteren Ende einerseits von dem Bodenabschnitt und andererseits von den den Einschnitt umfassenden Materialabschnitten festgehalten. Zusammen mit dem Einschnitt zwischen Deckwand und Seitenwand - in welchen der Flanschrand des Behälters eingreift - ergibt dies einen hervorragenden Halt für jeden einzelnen Behälter.As a result, each container is held at the lower end on the one hand by the bottom section and on the other hand by the material sections comprising the incision. Together with the incision between the top wall and side wall - in which the flange edge of the container engages - this results in an excellent hold for each individual container.

In der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels veranschaulicht. Dabei zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 einen flachliegenden Kartonzuschnitt zum Herstellen einer Verpackung und
  • Fig. 2 die fertig aufgerichtete und mit becherförmigen Behältern bestückte Verpackung.
The invention is illustrated in the drawing using an exemplary embodiment. Show:
  • Fig. 1 shows a flat cardboard blank for making packaging and
  • Fig. 2 shows the fully erected and equipped with cup-shaped containers.

Mit 1 ist in Fig. 1 ein Kartonzuschnitt bezeichnet, der eine Deckwand 2, zwei Seitenwände 3 und 4 sowie einen Boden 5 aufweist,. die untereinander über Faltlinien 6,7 und 8 verbunden sind. Über eine weitere Faltlinie 9 ist an der Seitenwand 4 ein Randstreifen 10 angelenkt, der beim Aufrichten des Zuschnittes zu einer Verpackung mit der Deckwand 2 verklebt wird.1 in FIG. 1 denotes a cardboard blank which has a top wall 2, two side walls 3 and 4 and a bottom 5. which are connected to each other via fold lines 6, 7 and 8. Via a further fold line 9, an edge strip 10 is articulated on the side wall 4 and is glued to the top wall 2 when the blank is erected into a package.

In den beiden Faltlinien 6 und 9 sind jeweils zwei Einschnitte 11,12 bzw. 13,14 vorgesehen, die sich in die jeweils angrenzende Seitenwand hinein erstrecken und in welche Behälter mit ihren Randflanschen eingreifen.In the two folding lines 6 and 9, two incisions 11, 12 and 13, 14 are provided, respectively, which extend into the respectively adjacent side wall and into which containers engage with their edge flanges.

Die beiden Faltlinien 7 und 8 sind ebenfalls durch Einschnitte 15,16 bzw. 17,18 unterbrochen, die sich auch in die beiden Seitenwände 3,4 hinein erstrecken und an die jeweils eine senkrecht in die Seitenwand hinein gerichtete kurze Schnittlinie 19 anschließt.The two fold lines 7 and 8 are also interrupted by incisions 15, 16 and 17, 18, which also extend into the two side walls 3, 4 and are each adjoined by a short cutting line 19 directed perpendicularly into the side wall.

Im Boden 5 sind an vier Stellen jeweils zwei bogenförmig verlaufende Schnittlinien 20,21, die an ihren Enden durch jeweils eine Faltlinie 22,23 miteinander verbunden sind. Die beiden Faltlinien 22,23 fluchten miteinander und sind parallel zu den Boden-Faltlinien 7,8 angeordnet. Die von den Schnittlinien 20,21 abgegrenzten Bodenabschnitte 24 können um die Faltlinien 22,23 nach oben umgebogen werden, so daß die Behälter mit ihrem unteren Endbereich zwischen die Bodenabschnitte und die Einschnitte 15,16,17,18 bzw. 19 eingesetzt werden können.In the bottom 5 there are two arcuate cut lines 20, 21 at four points, which are connected to each other at their ends by a fold line 22, 23. The two fold lines 22, 23 are aligned with one another and are arranged parallel to the bottom fold lines 7, 8. The bottom sections 24 delimited by the cutting lines 20, 21 can be bent upward about the folding lines 22, 23 so that the containers with their lower end region can be inserted between the bottom sections and the cuts 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 respectively.

In Fig. 2 ist eine fertige Verpackung gezeigt, in die becherförmige Behälter 25 eingesetzt sind. Diese Behälter 25 haben einen sich nach unten konisch erweiternden Fuß, der von dem Bodenabschnitt 24 umfaßt wird. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite greift der Fuß in die Einschnitte zwischen Boden und Seitenwand ein, so daß er einen sehr guten Halt erfährt. Darüber hinaus greift der obere Flanschrand 26 des Behälters 25 in den Einschnitt zwischen Seitenwand und Deckwand ein und hält somit den Behälter sehr stabil in der Verpackung fest.2 shows a finished packaging into which cup-shaped containers 25 are inserted. These containers 25 have a foot which widens conically downwards and is enclosed by the bottom section 24. On the opposite side, the foot engages in the incisions between the floor and the side wall, so that it has a very good grip. In addition, the upper flange edge 26 of the container 25 engages in the incision between the side wall and the top wall and thus holds the container firmly in the packaging.
