Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a transport package for containers of circular cross section displaying a tray and a hood.
  • the most varying goods are packaged in containers having a relatively small volume.
  • special packages are required, which assemble these small containers into a larger unit.
  • these transport packages are in turn assembled into even larger units for the transport of large amounts of the particular goods.
  • transport packages can be used consisting of a lower part, which can also be referred to as tray, and an upper part.
  • the upper part is placed over the lower part, thus forming a transport package which is closed on all sides.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore a transport package for containers having a circular cross section, in particular glass jars, which display a tray and a hood.
  • containers having a circular cross section are arranged side by side in one or more rows and are enclosed by the transport package, which essentially has a rectangular shape, since the transport packages and the units, into which the indiviual transport packages are assembled, usually have the shape of a cube or parallelepiped.
  • the transport package described herein now exhibits recesses in the side walls of the hood.
  • These recesses can assume the shape of a turned U or also be rectangular. These recesses can extend as far as the under-side of the hood and, when several are provided side by side, can be given a shape reminiscent of a comb. When, however, the recesses do not extend as far as the under-side of the side wall of the hood, the recesses are entirely enclosed by the side walls of the hood.
  • the transport package has the shape of a cube or a parallelepepid. Consequently, the hood has a rectangular or square covering plate and at least two side walls facing each other. To increase the stability of the transport package, the hood can, however, display four side walls, whereby each time two side walls are arranged such as to face each other and are linked with one side to the covering plate.
  • the transport package consists of the lower part, which is referred to as tray, and the hood, which is placed over the containers having a circular cross section, in particular glass jars.
  • the hood and the tray are connected by one or more flaps and the relevant insert recess.
  • the side wall, or side walls, of the tray trilaterally punched insert flaps are formed, which are linked on one side.
  • the connecting side between insert flap and side wall is then either arranged in parallel to the bottom plate of the tray or at right angles thereto.
  • the flap is preferably trapezoidal.
  • two trapezoidal flaps are provided side by side in such a way that the side of the trapezium, which is parallel to the two linked sides, is formed by a common incision.
  • insert recesses are provided in the side walls of the hood. These insert recesses are shaped such that the insert flaps of the side walls of the tray can be introduced into the insert recesses by folding. By introduction of the flap into the insert recess and folding of the flap, a firm connection between hood and tray is formed.
  • the insert recess can be designed such that a corresponding opening is punched into side wall of the hood, or the insert recess can be punched only on three sides and linked on one side.
  • this is folded inwards together with the part of the side wall of the hood covering the insert recess.
  • the folded parts thus the insert flap and the part of the side wall where the insert recess is located, can then be secured tightly to the containers contained in the transport package, as a result of which, on the one hand, reinforcement of the connection between hood and tray is achieved and, on the other hand, a better fit of the containers contained in the transport package can be reached.
  • the incisions by which the insert flap or the insert recess is formed are provided such that trapezoidal flaps or insert recesses are formed.
  • the height of the side walls of tray and hood is designed dependent upon the height of the containers of circular cross section contained in the transport package.
  • the transport package exhibits a hood, the side walls of which are twice the height of the side walls of the tray. It is particularly preferable that the height of the side walls of the tray be at most a quarter of the height of the hood.
  • a transport package usually consists of corrugated paper or cardboard. It is, however, also quite possible to manufacture the package from several plastic sheets having the required rigidity and firmness.
  • the outside dimension of a full transport package can be lowered through the transport package referred to above.
  • the outside dimension of the transport package when the containers are juxtaposed in rows in the transport package, then corresponds at least with the sum of the outer diameters of the containers plus the thickness of the packaging material.
  • the external dimensions of the transport package can now be reduced by at least two layers of the packaging material.
  • the flaps between the recesses of the side walls of the hood can, however, be introduced inside the side walls of the tray without causing the side wall of the tray to bulge. Accordingly, as a result of the reduction of the outside dimensions of the transport package, space can be saved, enabling optimum utilization of space in the transport package. This benefit will become especially conspicuous when several of these transport packages are placed side by side in a larger unit since, as a result, projections are avoided. Accordingly, more container units per pallet can be introduced without resulting in projections from the transport package that can no more be tolerated during transport.
  • a further advantage of the transport package according to the invention resides in that, even without the transport package having to be removed, it can be seen from the outside which goods are contained in the transport package. As a result, transport personnel can discern without difficulty what is contained in the transport package and confusions can be avoided to a great extent.
