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 in which 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 such that the legs of the two U-shaped parts engage with 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 that 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 bottom 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 by means 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.
  • a lid for packaging boxes which has a picture frame-like design for the presentation of goods contained in the box.
  • a packaging box with a lower part and a lid arranged thereon which serves as a carrying handle.
  • the lid is firmly connected to the lower part.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a shipping and packaging container which is stable and stackable in the same way, is constructed in a material-saving manner and is particularly suitable for the sales presentation of the goods contained in it.
  • the invention also relates to a lid alone, which forms the upper part (slip) of a shipping and packaging container and has the features listed in claim 10.
  • the opening in its ceiling is preferably rectangular or square and is formed by the four tabs which enclose the ceiling of the lid.
  • the lid according to the invention can be slipped onto any lower parts, although it is a prerequisite that the side parts of the lower part are designed so that the lid fits onto the lower part.
  • the cover according to the invention is preferably used together with the lower part described in detail here.
  • a ratio of the height of the side walls of the cover 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 guaranteed 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. The choice of this ratio ensures that the shipping and sales container is sufficiently strong and that the part 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 the shape of a cross.
  • 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 bar 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. Depending on the type of goods used, a corresponding tear-resistant box must be selected. After use, the used lower parts (trays) can be unfolded into a flat blank by tearing away the short flaps at the front and back or folding them outwards. Neither special tools nor exceptional force are required for this. After unfolding, the parts can be stacked on top of one another without solid components of the container preventing space-saving storage. This is particularly important for 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 be easily 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 intersection points of the fold lines, four incisions extend parallel to the short side edges to the longer side edges of the blank part. These cuts 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 blank of the cover part Parallel to the longer side parts, the blank of the cover part has a fold line which divides the blank 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 in the container can be offered to the customer for sale, 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 easily be recycled after use.
