Definitions

  • the invention relates to a band-like packaging material blank for fully enclosed packaging of a plurality of containers with a curved outer contour, for example cans, bottles or the like, with an upper part, side walls connected to the upper part and a bottom part adjoining the side walls, with an additional holder for the containers on
  • the respective side area of the blank is provided in the form of foldable and / or pivotable upper side and lower side flaps, which are at least partially connected to one another or to one another after folding, and all adjacent side flaps are connected to one another via a folding surface, which adjacent side flaps in folded state connects.
  • Such a blank is known from EP-A-0 069 508.
  • the special feature of this known blank is that the corner areas along the longitudinal edges of the containers each have a flat inclined surface which is formed by a folding line and an additional bending line running parallel to the latter. To fill the blank, it is pre-glued into a sleeve and filled in the pre-glued state.
  • GB-A-2 201 396 also discloses a sleeve-like packaging blank for a plurality of containers, in which the underside of the respective end face is covered by a closure panel in each case, so that incorrect readings by reading the magnetic strip codes of the containers are avoided.
  • the closure panel is formed by around the outer contour of the corner area arranged containers curved side flap sections and a single lower side flap, which are connected to the respective side flaps via folding surfaces. Folding flaps arranged in the region of the open end faces ensure the stabilization of the containers, which are folded in between the top side of the packaging and the top side of the front end containers and ensure a supporting effect on the container in the axial direction.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a packaging material blank of the generic type which, with simple mechanical handling, enables a very compact, fully enclosed packaging of a plurality of containers.
  • the lateral side flaps starting to set back to the front boundary line of the upper part are arranged in a curved manner in the folded state in accordance with the outer contour of the containers, and the folding surfaces in the folded state of the blank have a supporting effect between adjacent side flaps on the one hand and the outer contour of the associated container on the other hand, which results in a centering effect due to a horizontal and vertical bracing between the side and the upper and lower side flaps on the one hand, and on the other hand the side side flaps adapt to the outer contour of the containers in the folded state of the cut during the final folding process of the side flap region.
  • the packaging material blank according to the invention is suitable for securely enclosing a plurality of containers with a curved outer contour, the lateral side flaps of the outer contour of the containers nestling in the corner regions of the folded blank, whereby on the one hand a quite attractive design can be achieved, an enlarged advertising area for advertising prints Is available and finally, due to the full encasing of the containers, even a weaker material, for example a weaker cardboard box, can be used without the risk of the packaging tearing open during transport or the like. Due to the compact integration of the containers, which can be achieved by the measures according to the invention, an increase is achieved Transport security on pallets (ie with palletized packaging) and increased carrying safety when carrying the individual packaging is guaranteed.
  • the folding surfaces provided according to the invention ensure that the overall packaging is particularly stable due to the connection of the individual side flaps to one another.
  • the folding surfaces also ensure the advantage that after the blank is folded over the folding surface, a force is transmitted from the outer side flaps to the inner side flaps, ie, side flaps resting on the container sides, thereby ensuring an additional increase in the stability of the containers within the packaging.
  • this force transmitted by the folding surfaces causes the blank to fit tightly around the entire arrangement of the containers and the containers are additionally centered.
  • the cut literally runs around the corner areas of the arrangement of the containers.
  • the cut is very easy to produce, i.e. there are only a few areas to be punched out, the cut has a rectangular shape, it is easy to store or stack and can finally and finally also be easily folded by machine and causes far less cardboard waste, ie Committee.
  • the supporting effect of the folding surface in conjunction with the curved outer contour of the containers ensures that the lateral side flaps rest with "tension" on the outer contour of the containers and thereby ensure particularly secure packaging.
  • Another useful embodiment of the packaging material blank according to the invention is characterized in that the upper and lower side flaps are arranged in the folded state between the containers and the side side flaps and the inner edge of the folding surface is supported against the associated side side flap.
  • the lateral side straps are consequently arranged on the outside.
  • An additional fixation of the containers within the packaging is achieved in that openings are provided in the corner regions of the blank, the openings releasing a portion of the top and / or bottom of the respective container in the folded state of the blank.
  • the folding surface is consequently designed as a web.
  • the folding surface regularly comprises two fold lines which connect it to the respectively adjacent side flaps.
  • the folding surface can expediently also have more than two fold lines, preferably three fold lines.
  • the lateral side flaps are connected to the associated side walls via a bending area, in particular via a plurality of bending grooves or kink grooves.
  • This bending area or the bending or kinking grooves are located in the area of the curved outer contour of the containers located in the corner areas of the multiple arrangement.
  • the bending or kinking grooves preferably run parallel to one another. Between four and ten kink grooves per side flap can expediently be provided.
  • a carrying device is provided on one side area of the blank. Particularly in the case of packaging with a large number of containers accommodated therein, punched-out sections in the upper part of the packaging material blank are no longer sufficient to ensure adequate carrying safety.
  • handle openings are provided as a carrying device on one side of the blank in the two lateral side tabs.
  • the side flaps which are expediently tight for optimal stacking, can be pulled off by the user, as a result of which the two handle openings are accessible.
  • the consumer has a handle in a matter of seconds and can take the entire pack on one side and carry it upright.
  • the side flaps are expediently completely or individually connected to one another by glue points. This connection method enables the side flaps to be opened easily by hand.
  • a further expedient embodiment of the blank according to the invention ensures that the packaging can be opened, but the packaging can, in particular, be used to transport the containers.
  • This embodiment is characterized in that the folded blank can be opened by the user tearing a tear line, but the folded blank remains in such a state that the containers contained therein can still be transported safely.
  • the packaging should therefore not lose its actual function as a means of transporting or storing several containers even after opening.
  • An advantageous embodiment is characterized in that a tear-off area is provided running from the center of the upper part to the outside, a web remaining on the upper part between the two tear-off areas. If the tear-off areas of the blank are removed, the containers can easily be removed will. However, there remains a bar in the form of a handle, so that the packaging can be handled like a "basket".
  • the fact that the web preferably has foldable downward and / or inward edges over fold lines ensures additional stabilization of the handle against unforeseen tearing.
  • the carrying device also ensures the advantage that the packaging can be used as a storage container for empties and / or as a means of transport for empties back to the supermarket or to the glass or metal container.
  • the containers can be removed from the packaging immediately, emptied and then pushed back into the packaging.
  • the packaging relieves the waste supply of every household.
  • the invention therefore also makes an important contribution to environmental protection.
  • the side side flaps are formed in several parts, preferably in two parts, and the two partial areas of the respective side flap are connected via a folding line and / or a folding surface.
  • the side flaps designed in this way are able to fit closely to containers with tapering outer contours (e.g. bottles), since the upper part of the side flap tapers relative to the lower part towards the top due to the crease line or folding surface. If a folding surface is used, it is completely folded in between the two partial areas of the respective side flap. Both configurations allow bottle necks to be wrapped around as tightly and tightly as possible.
  • the bending or kinking grooves in the partial area of the respective side flap assigned to the upper part run at an acute angle (towards one another) towards the upper part. This creates an outer contour of the upper portion of the side plate, which corresponds to a conical section. This conical section-shaped partial area goes in the straight line, i. H. cylindrical lower section over.
  • the tear-off surface comprises part of the respective side wall and the side flaps assigned to this part.
  • a further embodiment of the packaging material blank according to the invention is characterized in that the base parts are connected to one another, in particular glued together, only after the containers have been encased.
  • the base parts of the same are glued to one another and then the side flaps are folded in accordingly and connected to one another or at least the two outer side flaps, preferably with glue points.
  • the packaging machine is fed a single-layer material blank.
  • the base parts are already connected to one another in advance, preferably are glued to one another.
  • the packaging machine already has a double-layer packaging material blank fed in the form of a tunnel-like tube.
  • the containers are then placed in the tube and then the side flaps are folded in accordingly and provided with glue points or glued.
  • Pre-gluing of this type is to be carried out in particular in the case of large containers, since this considerably simplifies mechanical packaging.
  • the support effect of the folding surface can be varied by the special arrangement of the two fold lines of the respective folding surface to the transverse axis of the blank.
  • a particularly advantageous support effect is achieved in that the two fold lines of a folding surface are arranged at an acute angle to the transverse axis of the blank.
  • a further embodiment of the blank according to the invention is characterized in that the bottom part is formed in one piece and the top part and the adjacent side flaps each consist of two parts which are connected to one another, preferably glued, so that a reinforcement area provided at least over a partial area with double packaging material on The upper part is created, which on the one hand effects a reinforcement of the handle and on the other hand creates the possibility of producing comparatively large packaging while maintaining or even reducing the grammage of the cardboard packaging.
  • the handle openings on the upper part are expediently arranged transversely to the reinforcement area, so that the reinforcement area can be gripped by the handle openings.
  • the reinforcement area in the area of the handle openings has a total of four layers, whereby the security against tearing of the upper part in the area of the handle openings of the folded and filled Packaging is increased.
  • Reference number 1 in FIG. 1 designates the packaging material blank in its entirety.
  • the blank 1 is shown in one dimension in FIG. H. it is in the unfolded state.
  • the blank 1 comprises an upper part 2, adjoining side walls 3 and 3 'and with the side walls connected bottom parts 4, 4', which are connected to each other before packaging or immediately during packaging.
  • the blank is suitable for incorporating a plurality of containers (not shown), for example six lemonade cans or the like, over the four main side surfaces of the can arrangement.
  • side flaps 5 - 9 and 5 ′ - 9 ′ provided, which (starting from the finished packaging) are divided into upper side flaps 5, 5 ', lower side flaps 8, 8' and 9, 9 'and side flaps 6, 6' and 7, 7 '.
  • the individual side flaps are each connected to the associated, adjacent side flap via a folding surface 12 (see hatched area) as well as folding lines 10 and 11.
  • additional inclined surfaces 15 in the form of kink surfaces are provided, as a result of which the side walls 3, 3 'and the side regions to the upper part 2 and to the bottom parts 4, 4 'each taper in the folded state and adapt to the upper and lower parts of the containers.
  • These additional inclined surfaces 15 are formed by two circumferential crease lines 26, 29.
  • the lateral side flaps 6, 6 'and 7, 7' are each over a bending area 6a, 6a 'and 7a, 7a' preferably using a plurality, d. H. Variety of bending grooves or kink grooves 14 with the associated side walls 3 and 3 'in connection. These bending or kinking grooves 14 facilitate the bending or curvature of the side wall or side tab in question.
  • openings 13 and 13 ' are provided in the corner regions of the blank 1, which in the folded state of the blank 1 a portion of the upper or

  • the remaining side flaps 5, 5 'and 7 are already in the fully folded state. According to FIG.
  • the side flaps are then folded over with the folding surfaces 12 completely folded in and connected to one another, preferably folded, the respective folding surfaces 12 lie against the inner sides of the associated side flaps 6, 7.
  • the resulting double-layer packaging material blank is then pushed manually or automatically in the form of a tube over the arrangement of the containers and the side flaps are folded in the manner already described above.
  • the folding surfaces 12 which connect the adjacent side flaps to one another, a kind of support function or tensioning function is ensured, i. H. the side flaps 6, 6 'and 7, 7' in FIG. 1 are put under tension when folded down due to this support effect, as a result of which the respective side flap or the area of the bending or kinking grooves 14 closely fits the outer contour of the containers. Due to the supporting effect of the folding surfaces 12, the arrangement of the containers is very closely integrated by the blank 1 and under tension.
  • FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment of the blank 1 according to the invention, which has a carrying device on one side region.
  • This carrying device is realized by two handle openings 16 which are arranged in the lateral side flaps 6 and 7 and which have a foldable flap 30.
