Definitions
- the invention relates to a carrier for one or more products offered for sale or packagings containing these products consisting of a flat of printable material.
- blister packs which are provided with hanging means, so that the consumer can then remove one blister pack at a time.
- blister packs use is made of a transparent cover foil which is fixed by welding, staples and the like to a printed base, for instance of cardboard.
- the invention has for its object to provide a carrier suitable for receiving a product or group of products or a finished packaging for said product, for example a box and in particular a sleeve-form box, which has a slot-like opening on at least two opposite sides.
- the carrier according to the invention is distinguished in that in each case a pair of coupling members is arranged which is connected to the flat and which grips the product or the packaging at two positions thereof lying at a mutual distance, such that said product lies on the front side of said carrier-flat.
- each coupling member is preferably formed from the same material as the flat of the carrier wherein each coupling member is formed in the shape of a folding element connected to the flat material via a fold line.
- the folding element is arranged in the form of a lip which is suitable for a packaging provided with a slot-like opening, wherein the lip has to be inserted into the slot-like opening.
- the coupling member formed as a folding element is an assembly of flats for folding relative to each other into a box for receiving an edge or corner portion of the product or the packaging.
- the coupling member is embodied in the form of a strip, preferably of the same material as the carrier, which can be inserted in each case through two slot-like openings located at a mutual distance in the flat.
- the strip can also be carried through slot-like openings in the packaging and then adhered to the flat.
- the carrier is preferably extended at least on one side of the packaging or group of packagings, which extension is suitable for being printed on or for arranging of a hole for hanging the carrier on a pin or the like in the presentation cabinet.
- the first flat is designated with the numeral 1, wherein in fig. 1 the left-hand part is designated with 1' and the right-hand part with 1''.
- Each flat part has a lip-shaped element 2 as coupling member, in this case three lips 2, each of which is connected to the first flat via a connecting flat 3 and fold lines 4 and 5 respectively.
- the described embodiment of the carrier serves to fixedly hold three finished packagings V, which packagings have for example an outer sleeve into which the product is pushed.
- the sleeve ends are designated with E and have there a slit the width of which corresponds to the width of the packaging itself.
- the length of the fold line 5 on each lip 2 is not greater than that of the slit in the packaging V, so that it is possible to slide the lip 2 into the ends E of the packaging V.
- the flat is embodied on the top side with a protruding portion 9 embodied in the left-hand flat part 1' with a recess 10, wherein the protruding portion 9 of the right-hand flat part 1'' is embodied with an identically shaped hole 11.
- the flat parts 1' and 1'' are placed one on the other the recess 10 and the hole 11 come to lie in register whereby a continuous opening is created for suspending on a pin or the like. See also fig. 4.
- Fig. 3 shows that assembly of the articles V into a group of three and arranging of the carrier can take place in wholly mechanical manner.
- a device (not shown) is embodied with a station 15 in which the products V are stored.
- the products are displaced in groups of three in the direction of the arrow P3 to the assembly station 16 which is provided with a supply station 17 for the flat part 1'' and a supply station 18 for the flat part 1'.
- a flat part must be separated each time by means not shown here and pushed in the direction of the arrow P4 into the end surfaces of the articles V, see fig. 2.
- the assembled carrier with packagings is obtained which is shown in front view in fig. 4. It is noted that in fig. 3 the rear side thereof is shown in order to enable the folding around the packagings V to be performed easily.
- the carrier is particularly simple to assemble and the packagings, for example a cardboard box, is itself used for holding together the products arranged therein.
- the boxes can be provided with their own printing.
- the protruding portion 9 and the carrier can likewise be provided with printing. This can also take place on the entire rear surface of the carrier.
- the first flat 1 is here divided into two parts 1' and 1'', wherein lip-shaped elements 2 are cut out of the flat material as coupling members.
- two lips 2 are arranged in each case on a flat part.
- the lip 2 can be connected via fold lines 5 to the flat material 1' and 1''.
- the two portions of the first flat 1' and 1'' are fixed onto one another by means of the adhesion strips 7 such that the lips 2 come to lie mutually opposite and form the pair of coupling members for receiving a box-like packaging V, see fig. 6.
- the lip-shaped coupling member 2 is pushed in each case into a slot-like opening of the box V by just lifting the lip 2 out from the surface of the flat material 1' and 1'' respectively.
- the lips 2 can be pushed into the boxes V, whereafter the flat parts can be mutually adhered.
- the continuous opening in the protruding portion 9 is formed by the hole 11 and the cut-out portion 10 which come to lie one on the other in the assembled situation.
- the carrier can then be suspended with the two packagings V on a hook or the like in the shop for sales purposes.
- the lips 2 are not fixed to the flat material 1 with a connecting flat 3 which results in the width of the carrier being greater than that of the packagings V.
- the first flat 1 is again sub-divided here into a part 1' and 1'' wherein it is noted that the separating line does not run through the hole 11 but runs at a distance therefrom in width direction of the carrier 1.
- Formed from each part in order to obtain the coupling member is an assembly of flats for folding relative to one another into a box.
- an incision 21 and 22 Arranged for this purpose is an incision 21 and 22 respectively which extends from the dividing line 8 parallel to the lengthwise edge of each flat part.
- the fold line 5 connects the ends of each incision 21, wherein an additional number of fold lines 23, 24 and 25 are arranged parallel to the fold line 5 between the incisions 21, 22.
- Formed in the flat between the fold lines 5, 23 is a curved incision 26 which is adapted to the products for packaging.
- each flat part 1', 1'' By separating the products, see fig. 9, into a group of for example three, they can then be received into the space bounded by the incision 26 of each flat part 1', 1'' and, by sliding the flat parts towards each other in the direction of the arrow P4, they can be enclosed in the ridge-like coupling members. After adhering the remaining strip portions of each flat part 1', 1'' to each other at 7, there results a complete carrier with products or packagings held therein, see fig. 10. Adhering of the flats to each other can take place simultaneously or in a sequence other than that described.
- the first flat part of the carrier is sub-divided here into a part 1' and 1''.
- the coupling members 2 are formed here by four assemblies of flats, two per flat part, which are joined to the relevant flat parts 1', 1'' with fold lines.
- the flats of the coupling members 2 are folded here as corner pieces according to fig. 12, in which corner piece a corner portion of a packaging V can be received.
- a carrier according to fig. 13 is created, wherein it is noted that the protruding portion 9 can be extended further with a portion 9'' which can be folded around the fold line 30 according to the arrow P5 to obtain a double protruding portion 9.
- fig. 15 shows a carrier whereof the first flat 1 consists of one part and is provided with the suspension opening 11.
- two slot-like openings 31 are further arranged mutually parallel and at a mutual distance, wherein in fig. 15 three pairs of slots 31 are arranged.
- a strip-like coupling member 32 which has a length which is greater than the distance between the slot-like openings 31.
- the carrier is thus not limited to holding three packagings but can also be suitable for a single box.
- the lips 2 do not have to be bent over parallel fold lines but, for example, along mutually perpendicular fold lines, wherein the product is held fixedly on two mutually perpendicular sides.
- the product must then be provided with two slot-like openings in these mutually perpendicular sides.
- Fig. 16 and 17 each show a sixth embodiment of a carrier according to the invention, in which the back plate consists of two parts 1' and 1'', and the coupling member consists of an assembly of flats and lips, indicated with 2' and 2'' respectively, each assembly being connected to the edge of the two parts lying remote from each other.
- Fig. 18 and 19 show an embodiment, in which the carrier flat consists of three parts 1', 1'' and two parts 1'''.
- the 1'''-parts are connected via fold lines with the coupling member 2, obtaining a box-like configuration when it is folded together, see fig. 19.
- the flat parts 1''' will be aligned to the flat part 1'' when this last one is also folded around the fold line A-A.
- the flat part 1'' has a sectioned edge, co-operating with the obligue edges of the flat parts 1''', see fig. 9. Due to this structure there will be no weakened part of the carrier, so remaining the carrier in a stretched form as it is suspended.
- the products lie on the front side of the carrier flat 1, and the products can be easily examined by the buyer with respect to the size, the quantity, and so on.
- the flat, forming the carrier flat and the coupling members are to be printable on one surface, such that the printed text will be on the front side of the carrier and on the back side of the carrier as well.
- the printing can be extended on for instance the part 1''' in fig. 19.
- Adhering the two parts 1' and 1'' by means of a glue layer can also be replaced by any other suitable adhesion means, for example by staples.
