Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shipping and sales container which serves to hold goods, in particular bottles.
  • various types of goods can be packed in the shipping and sales container, in particular those that are sold in bottles made of glass or plastic or in cans.
  • Self-service supermarkets where the consumer removes the desired goods from the store shelves, are used to supply the population to an ever increasing extent.
  • the shipping and sales containers according to the invention are used primarily for packaging the goods during transport from the manufacturer to the points of sale, and the containers according to the invention can also be used during sales.
  • a display unit is known from US Pat. No. 4,427,108. It consists of a lower part with two side parts reinforced at the edges, the height of which corresponds to the height of the packaging unit, and two side parts with a lower height.
  • the cover of this display unit is formed by an M-shaped part, which has three parallel parts corresponding to the higher side parts of the lower part and a ceiling corresponding to the floor.
  • GB-A-20 67 519 describes a packaging and sales container which is obtained by folding together a relatively complicated blank. It is a closed-bottom, closed-top container that has two side walls with small openings and two side walls with rectangular openings.
  • FR-A-81 09 141 describes closed packaging, which preferably consists of cardboard.
  • the closed packaging described there is produced in that a cross-sectionally U-shaped lower part is connected to a U-shaped upper part in such a way that the legs of the two U-shaped parts engage in one another. A completely closed packaging is thereby obtained.
  • French patent specification 1,444,032 relates to transport packaging which also serves to display plastic bottles.
  • the packaging unit is formed by a lower part, which has reinforcements on the four edges, which are arranged parallel to the bottles that will later be in the container, which are obtained by a triangular cross-section fold.
  • On this lower part is a continuous cover made of cardboard applied, which is preferably connected to the lower part with the aid of a resilient film material.
  • EP-A 85.201590.8 describes a container which is open on all four side walls so that the goods, preferably bottles, located therein are visible.
  • This container essentially consists of a base and a lid, which are connected to one another via four carrier parts. These carrier parts are made by folding and gluing.
  • a shipping packaging which has a base part and four carriers, which consist of hollow corner pillars with a triangular cross section, which were formed by folding and gluing along parallel fold lines.
  • the lid has tabs which are adapted to the width of the hollow columns and with the aid of which a connection between the lid and the lower part can be achieved.
  • French patent application 81 15 602 relates to containers which can be produced from a single blank.
  • the boxes described there have side panels reinforced by folding.
  • a side part and the cover have a common edge, whereby a firm connection of the cover with the lower part is achieved.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a transport and sales container that can be used in a simple manner can be converted into a form that takes up as little space as possible. At the same time, however, the shipping and sales container must have the required strength during its intended use.
  • a shipping and sales container which has a lower part and a lid which can be put on the lower part.
  • the lower part (tray) consists of a substantially rectangular bottom and two substantially rectangular, closed side parts, which are articulated opposite each other on one edge of the floor, and two further, mutually opposite U-shaped side parts, which are angled and partially interconnected, hinged to the closed side panels and the bottom tabs are formed.
  • the tabs are located on the edges of the base and the side walls, which extend at right angles from the two connecting edges between the base part and the closed side walls.
  • the closed side walls are folded upwards by 90 ° and the tabs, which are attached to the floor and the side walls, are also bent by 90 °.
  • connection is preferably made by applying adhesive.
  • connection can equally well be accomplished by means of metal clips, although this can be disadvantageous in some cases, since the clips may have to be removed in order to reuse the used container.
  • it may be necessary to use both types of connection, namely gluing and stapling.
  • the invention also relates to the lid of a shipping container alone, which forms the upper part (slip) of a shipping and sales container.
  • the lid consists of four interconnected side parts and an open ceiling. A side part is articulated on each side edge of the ceiling, each side part in turn being connected to the two adjacent side parts via the edges common to the respective side parts.
  • the upper part consisting of four interconnected side parts and a non-closed blanket, can be put on a lower part.
  • the blanket is formed by angled and interconnected strips or tabs, each hinged to the edges of the side walls of the lid.
  • the opening in the ceiling is preferably rectangular or square and is formed by the four strips surrounding the ceiling of the lid. Two strips are arranged parallel to each other and each strip is connected to an adjacent strip at each end. This creates a frame-like cover.
  • the lid according to the invention can be put on any lower parts; The prerequisite is, however, that the side parts of the lower part are designed so that the lid fits on the lower part.
  • the cover according to the invention is preferably used together with the lower part described in detail here.
  • the side walls of the cover only partially overlap the side walls of the lower part in the upturned state.
  • a ratio of the height of the side walls of the lid to the height of the side walls of the lower part is preferably selected, which is between 0.1: 1 and 0.3: 1. If this ratio is maintained, the required strength of the container is usually ensured and a sufficiently large cutout of the U-shaped side parts remains uncovered by packaging material. This is particularly important to ensure the presentation of the goods.
  • the ratio of the height of the side parts to the width of the tabs which form the non-closed cover is chosen between 1: 0.8 and 1: 1.2. Choosing this ratio ensures that the shipping and sales container is sufficiently strong and that the portion of the lid that is not closed is sufficiently large.
  • the shipping and sales containers according to the invention can be used for various types of goods, but are preferably used for those goods which are sold in bottles made of glass or plastic materials.
  • the problem can arise that the shipping and sales containers must have an increased compressive strength. If this increased compressive strength is not given, a stack of the containers could fall over due to the fact that the stack is tilted to the side by a small impulse, which ultimately leads to the entire stack falling over.
  • the shipping and sales container therefore has a web which is introduced between the closed side parts between them into the shipping and sales container.
  • This web can particularly preferably be designed in a cross shape.
  • the larger part of the web which consists of a substantially rectangular part, is approximately in the Make an incision in the middle of the longer part, the depth of which corresponds to approximately half the height of the shipping and sales container.
  • a part is inserted into this slot, the shape of which corresponds to the other side parts and also has an incision approximately in the middle, which corresponds to approximately half the height of the shipping and sales container.
  • This last described second part has approximately the outline of the U-shaped side parts, but has no recess. The use of the cross-shaped web ensures increased stability of the shipping and sales container in every direction.
  • the shipping and sales containers according to the invention are made in a preferred form from corrugated cardboard.
  • an appropriately tear-resistant box must be selected.
  • the used lower parts (trays) can be unfolded into a flat blank by tearing off the short flaps at the front and back or folding outwards. Neither special tools nor extraordinary force are required for this.
  • the parts After unfolding, the parts can be stacked on top of one another without solid components of the container preventing space-saving storage. This plays a role particularly in larger sales outlets, since large quantities of packaging material have to be removed every day due to the high turnover of goods.
  • an elongated cut can be easily obtained from the lid by tearing open the flap, with the aid of which two side parts are connected to one another, and opening the flaps forming the ceiling, which causes only minor problems in the disposal of the packaging material.
  • the cardboard or corrugated cardboard material can easily be reused when opened.
  • the cut of the lower part consists of a substantially rectangular part with two fold lines, which are arranged parallel to the longer sides of the cut part at a distance from the longer side parts, which corresponds to the width of the tabs from which, after assembly, the U-shaped side parts be formed. Furthermore, the cut part of the lower part has two fold lines which are attached at such a distance from the shorter sides of the cut part that corresponds to the height of the closed side parts. From the four intersections of the fold lines, four incisions extend parallel to the short side edges to the longer side edges of the blank. These incisions separate the part of the blank from which the tabs are later formed.
  • the blank of the cover is an essentially rectangular elongated strip which has a tab on the shorter side, the width of which corresponds to at most half of the shorter side part of the blank.
  • the cut of the cover part Parallel to the longer side parts, the cut of the cover part has a fold line which divides the cut part into the side parts and the tabs.
  • the cut part of the cover has three lines parallel to the shorter side parts, these partly consisting of a fold line which serves to subdivide the side parts and partly a cut which separates the flaps forming the cover from one another.
  • the cover can be produced from the blank by folding the three fold lines between the four side parts of the cover and connecting with the aid of the flap.
  • the flaps that do not form a closed blanket are also folded over by about 90 ° and connected to one another at the overlapping points.
  • the connection can be made by gluing or stapling.
  • the cuts of the lid can be arranged on the raw material so that practically no waste is generated.
  • the two components namely the lower part (tray) and the lid (slip) are not connected to one another.
  • a connection by gluing or stapling after receiving the goods is possible if this is necessary for the respective areas of application.
  • An advantage of the shipping and sales container according to the invention is that the goods can be offered to the customer for sale in the container, if necessary after removing the lid. Unloading from the container and placing it on the store shelves is therefore no longer necessary. Due to the U-shaped side parts, the goods can be presented to the buyer in a visible manner.
  • the cutting of the container according to the invention has no perforations, which leads to savings in production.
  • Another advantage of the container according to the invention is that it can be opened without the aid of tools, and the goods can already be marked in the container by applying price tags.
  • the shipping and sales container according to the invention is also suitable for storage on pallets, the individual containers being able to be stacked on top of one another in a stable manner.
  • Another advantage that plays a role in view of the growing environmental awareness is that the use of plastic is not required. Rather, the container according to the invention can be recycled without problems after use.
  • Fig. 1 shows a lower part of a preferred shipping and sales container.
  • the lower part (tray) consists of two opposed closed side parts (2) which are articulated on two opposite edges (3) of the bottom (1).
  • the two opposite U-shaped side parts (4) are formed by angled and partially interconnected tabs (5).
  • a U-shaped side part is formed by two flaps, each on one of the closed side parts (2) and a flap which is articulated on the floor (1) along the edges (6).
  • Fig. 2 shows the upper part of a container according to the invention, which consists of four interconnected side parts (7) and a non-closed ceiling (8).
  • the blanket (8) which is not closed is formed by angled tabs (9) which are connected to one another at overlapping points and which are articulated on the connecting edges (10).
  • the upper part can be put on the lower part, the side surfaces of the upper part only partially overlapping the side walls of the lower part.
  • the two U-shaped side parts have rectangular surfaces which do not consist of the material of the container throughout.
  • the lid (slip) has a rectangular surface that is not covered by the material of the container.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further preferred embodiment of the shipping and sales container according to the invention, the part between the lower part and the lid being a web which serves to stabilize the container.
  • the individual components are shown in an exploded form.
  • Fig. 4 shows the cut of a preferred embodiment of the lid.
  • the four side parts (7) are separated from each other by three fold lines.
  • the four tabs (9) are separated from the side parts (7) by the middle fold line (10). This fold line coincides with the edges (10) which, when assembled, lie opposite the edges of the floor.
  • the four tabs (9) are separated from each other by three incisions which extend at right angles from the longer side edge to the middle fold line (10).
  • the blank of the cover has a tab (11) which serves to connect two side walls of the cover to one another. This connection can be achieved by gluing or stapling.
  • Fig. 5 shows a preferred embodiment of the cut for a lower part of the container according to the invention.
  • the fold lines (6) and (3) delimit the two closed side parts (2) and the bottom (1).
  • the flaps (5) are separated from each other on each side by two incisions, which represent the extensions of the fold lines (3) between closed side walls (2) and bottom (1). These incisions extend from the intersection of the fold lines (6) and (3) to the two outer edges of the blank, whereby they are arranged parallel to the shorter side edges of the blank.
  • Fig. 6 shows a blank for a web that can be used parallel to the closed side walls in a shipping and sales container according to the invention.
