Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packaging made of cardboard or the like. for several bottle-like containers arranged one behind the other in at least one row.
  • Another type of known packaging is the open top carrier into which the containers are placed from above and from which they can be easily removed.
  • the hold achieved is more than modest.
  • the invention has for its object to design a packaging of the type mentioned so that the containers experience a very good hold, but are still easy to remove.
  • a tray-like lower part folded from a flat cardboard blank is provided, in which the Containers are standing, which are spanned by an upper part, which is also made from a flat cardboard blank and which has punched out arcuate or corrugated sections which engage in punched-out portions of the lower part and lock the two parts together.
  • T-shaped incisions are provided in the side walls of the lower part, in which arcuate approaches of the upper part engage.
  • the tray-like lower part has a bottom wall section, to which a side wall is articulated via a fold line, which in turn is articulated to an upper wall, which carries a further side wall via a fold line, and if to the free one Front edges of these walls are hinged flaps, which form the end walls of the lower part, and if a further bottom wall section is hinged to the side wall, which is glued or sealed to the first bottom wall section in the erected state of the lower part.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the upper part has a top wall with which it rests on the containers, wherein a side wall is articulated on both sides of this top wall, each of which is provided with at least one extension, which corresponds to the corresponding side wall of the lower part overlaps at least partially.
  • This upper part holds the lower part very well, but can be easily removed from the lower part due to the simple attachment to the lower part.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the one side wall of the upper part is provided with two arcuate sections arranged at a distance from one another and the other side wall is provided with an undulating section which provides a two-point system, while the lower part has corresponding punched-out areas for receiving these sections.
  • a very particularly stable connection between the upper and lower part is achieved according to the invention in that at least one of the two side walls of the upper part is provided with two spaced apart approaches.
  • a very simple embodiment of the packaging for a two-row arrangement of the containers is achieved according to the invention in that two lower parts are arranged next to one another, the side walls of which are adjacent to one another and are glued to one another, and that on the containers the top wall of the upper part corresponds to the width of two rows of containers.
  • FIG. 1 in FIG. 1 denotes a flat cardboard blank which has a bottom wall section 2 to which a side wall 4 is articulated via a folding line 3.
  • An upper wall 6 is formed on this side wall 4 via a further folding line 5, which in turn carries a further side wall 8 with the interposition of a folding line 7.
  • Flaps 9 of different sizes are articulated on the free edges of these four walls 2, 4, 6, 8, which overlap form the end walls of the lower part.
  • the top wall 6 is provided with punched lines 11 and crease lines 12, by means of which tabs 13, 14 and 15 are formed, which are folded down and partially on the Bottom wall and the side walls fit. This gives the top wall and thus the entire lower part high rigidity or torsional rigidity.
  • a further bottom wall section 16 is articulated on the side wall 8 via a folding line 10, which is connected to the other bottom wall section 2 by gluing or sealing when the lower part is erected.
  • the two side walls 4 and 8 are provided with punchings 17 and 18 and T-shaped incisions 19, in which the upper part of the packaging is fixed.
  • the horizontal section of the T-shaped incisions 19 runs parallel to the adjacent folding line 3 or 10, in the course of which, in the course of the T-shaped incisions, incisions are also provided which enable perfect folding without impairing the T-shaped incisions.
  • the upper part of the packaging is also made from a flat cardboard blank 20 which has a top wall 21, to each of which a side wall 22, 23 is articulated.
  • One side wall 22 is equipped with an extension 24, from which a corrugated section 25 is punched out, which interrupts a fold line 26.
  • the free end of this approach 24 is provided with two arcuate lugs 27.
  • the other side wall 23 is provided with two lugs 28 and 29, both of which are each equipped with an arcuate section 30 which interrupts a corresponding fold line 26.
  • the free ends of these two approaches in turn carry curved lugs 27.
  • customary cutouts 31 are provided which allow the upper part to be adapted to the container tolerances that occur.
  • holes 22, 23 are punched out in both side walls, which allow a view of the individually packaged containers and their price labeling.
  • the lugs 24, 28, 29 are longer, but this has no significance for the function.
  • the blank 1 is erected into a tray-like lower part 100 and in the openings formed in its upper wall there are five containers 101 designed as bottles, which in turn are held by the upper part 120.
  • the upper part is removed from the packaging, which has been done by simply pulling the sections 25, 30 out of the corresponding punched-out areas 17, 18 and the curved projections 27 from the T-shaped incisions 19.
  • two tray-like lower parts 100 are arranged side by side and glued together on the adjacent side walls. This creates a double-row package, the container 101 of which is held by a correspondingly designed upper part 121 with a wider top wall.
