Description

The invention relates to a sales packaging or a holder consisting of a one-piece card-like cardboard or cardboard part made of thin, foldable material for the visible presentation of at least one object, with at least one area protruding from the plane of the card-like part holding the object.

So-called blister packs are still used today for the visible presentation of objects on or on a sales packaging. Here, an object is attached to a card-like cardboard or cardboard part by placing the object on the cardboard or cardboard card and placing a molded part made of transparent plastic over it. Blister packs have the disadvantage that plastic is used, which is criticized from an environmental point of view, since the cost of materials is relatively large and because more than one material is used for such packaging, which makes it difficult to reuse or recycle such packaging.

Generic sales packaging is already known from DE-A-2926082 and DE-A-4007600. Both previously known packages have in common that the card-like cardboard or cardboard part is made of two layers by folding down the one-piece blank. In addition, special folds have to be made or a special net-shaped punching has to be provided. The This packaging can therefore only be produced with a relatively high consumption of cardboard or cardboard material. The special punching and folding also require special measures in their manufacture.

The object of the invention is to provide a packaging to be produced with less cardboard or cardboard material.

In a sales package of the type mentioned in the introduction, this object is achieved according to the invention in that the card-like part is formed in one layer and has at least one flap-like tongue-shaped, preferably approximately rectangular, element protruding from the card-like part with a receiving opening for the object, the edge of which has a stop area forms for the object.

Such packaging can be made completely in one layer from a one-piece cardboard or cardboard blank. Less material is required to produce such packaging than in the previously known sales packages.

The sales pack has a receiving opening and a stop edge for the object to be presented on it, so that the object - or possibly several objects - can be securely attached to the packaging and held by it.

In an embodiment of the invention, one or more of the flap-like tongue-shaped elements can have a receiving opening for the object. The one to be presented on the packaging The object is held particularly securely when it is inserted into two tongue elements, each having a receiving opening.

In an advantageous development of the invention, it is provided that the flap-like, tongue-shaped element is part of a folding element that is deflected along several legs along fold lines.

In particular for the reception and presentation of tubes, it is expedient if a reception opening is an elongated hole which includes a taper of the object and the elongated hole merges into a further opening with a larger diameter. The tube can be inserted through the larger opening in the card-like part into the flap-like tongue-shaped elements provided with the receiving openings.

For the secure seating of the object on the packaging, it can furthermore be advantageous if holding elements protrude from the edge of a receiving opening into the receiving opening.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, it may also be expedient for the receiving openings, which are perpendicular to one another, to be arranged concentrically.

For the manufacture of the packaging, it is furthermore advantageous if the flap-like tongue-shaped element is an area punched out of the card-like part, as the invention also provides.

An expedient embodiment of the invention provides that the flap-like tongue-shaped element has latching or holding elements in its edge region which are connected to latching or holding elements of the cooperate card-like part. As a result, the flap-like tongue-shaped element can be fixed and locked in the use position on the card-like part.

A well-protected arrangement of at least areas of the product or object presented on the packaging can be achieved if at least one folding element is deflected in a substantially U-shape in a side view, as is also provided by the invention.

Finally, the invention is characterized in that an end region of the deflected folding element is glued to the card-like part.

Fig. 1a shows a package 1, which consists of a one-piece and single-layer card-like cardboard or cardboard part (2) made of thin, foldable material, such as cardboard or cardboard. From the card-like part 2 protruding flap-like tongue-shaped elements 3 and 4 protrude approximately at right angles. The flap-like tongue-shaped elements 3 and 4 are articulated on the card-like cardboard or cardboard part 2 by means of fold lines 5. Receiving openings 6, 7 are formed in the elements 3, 4 and are arranged concentrically to one another. The receiving opening 7 is designed as an elongated hole. The head region of a tube 8, shown in broken lines, is guided through the receiving openings 6 and 7 and in this way fastened to the sales pack 1. The tube 8 projects with its closure 9 through the receiving opening 6, while the lower edge of the closure 9 rests on the lower flap-like tongue-shaped element 4. The elongated hole 7 largely encloses the part of the dispenser nipple of the tube 8 that is usually exposed between the tube shoulder and the lower edge of the closure 9. To fasten the tube 8 to the sales package 1, the closure 9 is first of all closed by the or cardboard part 2 formed further opening 10 into which the elongated hole 7 merges, inserted and inserted with its closure 9 through the receiving opening 6. The region of the dispenser nipple which is exposed between the lower edge of the closure 9 and the tube shoulder is then pivoted into the receiving opening 7. In this way, the elements 3 and 4 form stops which interact with the tube 8. Here, the area of the element 4 surrounding the edge of the elongated hole 7 is designed as a stop edge for the lower edge of the tube closure 9. Due to the attachment in - as can be seen from FIG. Optionally, the upper element 3 in FIG. 1 a can be dispensed with if a vertical hanging of the tube 8 on the packaging 1 is not absolutely necessary. If the element 3 is dispensed with, the tube 8 which is then attached to the element 4 alone will assume a slightly inclined position.

1b shows that the flap-like tongue-shaped element 3 is punched out of the card-like part 2 along a punching line 11 and is articulated on the latter by means of a folding line 5. The element 4 is only by a fold line 5 of the card-like part 2. The receiving openings 6 and 7 are punched out of the card part 2 over the entire surface.

FIG. 2a shows a flap-like tongue-like element 15 which is part of a folding element 13 which is deflected in several legs along fold lines 20. In this embodiment, the element 15 is shaped longer than the region 14 and protrudes through the opening 16 in the card-like part 2, which was created by punching out the folding element 13. The folding element 13 is articulated on the card part 2 by means of a fold line 5. The tube 8 is located within the opening 16 and is held on its underside by a knob-like element 18 and a folding flap 17. The element 15, like the element 4 in the embodiment according to FIG. 1a, is provided with an elongated hole 7, which merges into the further opening 10 and accommodates the area of the dispenser nipple of the tube 8 which is exposed under the edge of the closure 9. The closure 9 can abut the area 14 and / or the fold line 5 on its upper side. The folding element 13 is held in the folded state shown in FIG. 2a in that the element 15 with edge edge areas engages in opposite incisions 19 of the card-like part 2, cam-like undercuts or projections 12 formed in the edge of the element 15 being located on the card-like part 2 support. The projections 12 and the incisions 19 thus form cooperating locking and holding elements. At its lower end, the tube 8 is held between the elements 18 and 17. 2b shows the cut of the packaging according to FIG. 2a. The fold element 13 is delimited from the plate part 2 along a continuous punching line 11. Stamping lines 22 and 23 likewise delimit the cam-like holding element 18 and the flap element 17 from the card part 2. There is an opening 16 over the entire surface of the blank punched out between the fold element 13 and the flap element 17 as well as the receiving opening 7 and the further opening 10 within the fold element 13.

3a shows a variant of the embodiment according to FIG. 2a. Here, the fold element 13 has an elongated opening 7 in its flap-like tongue-shaped element 15, through which two cylindrical objects 25 are guided. The objects 25, for example so-called glue sticks, are provided on their underside with cavities 26 which engage cams 27 which are formed in the edge of the opening 16 of the card-like part 2. 3b shows the blank for the packaging according to FIG. 3a. The folding element 13 is here delimited by punching lines 11 from the card part 2.

In the embodiments according to FIGS. 2a and 3a, both the elements 15 and the areas 14 of the folding element 13 can be provided with an opening, the openings then being arranged concentrically to one another and receiving the closure areas of the tube 8 or the glue sticks 25.

4a shows a package with a flap-like tongue-shaped element 3, into the holding opening 6 of which protruding from the edge of the receiving opening 6 holding elements 30 protrude. The diameter of the receiving opening 6 is large enough to be able to push the closure 9 of the tube through. The holding elements 30 protrude sufficiently far into the opening 6 to reach under the lower edge of the closure 9. Furthermore, the underside of the tube 8 is so wide that it has protruding edge regions between the flap element 17 and the adjacent one card-like part 2 is pinched. Two additional flap-like holding elements 31 effect the lateral inclusion.

The packaging according to FIG. 4a is produced from the blank according to FIG. 4b. The folding lines 5 and the punching lines 11 for the element 3 and the flap-like holding elements 17 and 31 can be seen. The flap elements 17 and 31 are each hinged to the card part 2 with fold lines drawn in broken lines. The receiving opening 6 is punched out of the card part 2 over the entire area with the recesses forming the holding elements 30.

5a and 6a show packaging 1 for the attachment of syringes, for example glue-filled syringes 32. The respective packaging 1 is provided with two flap-like tongue-shaped elements 3 and 4, a tongue-shaped flap element 27 protruding into a receiving opening 6 or 7, respectively. The syringes 32 are guided through the receiving openings 6 and 7, respectively. The tongue-shaped flap element 27 engages in groove-shaped depressions 26 of the syringes 32. From areas protruding beyond the body 32 of the syringes, the shoulder 33 towards the syringe mouth 34, the support surfaces 35 for the fingers and the pressure surface 36 for a thumb, two areas each lie on the elements 3 and 4. Furthermore, the packaging 1 according to FIG. 5a has an extension 37 of the element 4, which is folded back to the card part 2. This extension 37 is - as can be seen from FIG. 5b - cut in such a way that the snap members 38 formed in an incision 41 engage in grooves 39 and 26 of the syringes 32. In addition, in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 5 a, a holding element 30 protruding into the opening 6 of the element 3 is formed, which likewise engages in the grooves 26 and 39 of the syringe 32.

5b and 6b show the blanks for the packaging according to FIGS. 5a and 6a. The positions of the punched lines 11 and the fold lines 5 for the elements 3 and 4 and 27 are shown, as well as the full-surface punchings of the receiving openings 6 and 7. FIG. 5b also shows the extension 37 fastened to the element 4 with fold lines 40 with the extension 37 therein formed incision 41 with the snap members 38.

7a shows a holder 1, consisting of the essentially plate-shaped part 2 made of relatively thin, foldable material, such as cardboard, with a folding element 13 which is excellent and which is deflected and folded over essentially in a U-shape. The leg 15 of this folding element 13 is connected to the plate-shaped part 2 via the fold line 5, which is arranged in the middle of the longitudinal extent of the leg 15. In this embodiment, the leg 15 is longer than the leg 14 and passes through the opening 16 in the plate-shaped part 2, which was created by cutting out or punching out the folding element 13. A hole 7 'is provided in the folding element 13. A cylindrical object 25 shown with broken lines is inserted into this. A protrusion 27 projects into the recess at the lower end of this object 25 and extends from the edge of the opening 16 in the plate-shaped part 2.

In continuation of the leg 14, the folding element 13 is provided with an end region 50 which, as shown, is deflected parallel to the surface of the plate-shaped part 2 and glued to it. As a result, the folding element 13 is held in a U-shape. Furthermore, this embodiment of the U-shaped folding element 13 has advantages in terms of production, since the gluing of the Extension 50 and thus the formation of the U-shaped folding element can take place fully automatically.

7c clearly shows once again how the U-shaped deflected folding element 13 is connected to the plate-shaped part 2 of the holder 1.

The blank shown in FIG. 7b also shows the position of the cut lines 11 and the fold lines 5, the fold lines 20 at which the folding element 13 is deflected into the U-shape, and punching lines for the production of the folding element 13 and the opening 7 '.

8a and 8b show a further embodiment. This has two folding elements 13 and 13 '. The U-shaped deflected folding element 13 is essentially the same as that shown in FIG. 7. The structure of the two U-shaped folded elements 13 and 13 'shown in FIGS. 8a and 8b is the same, but with respect to the line A in FIG 8b are formed and arranged in mirror image to one another. Furthermore, the leg 14 'of the folding element 13' has an elongated opening 7 '' from which the flattened lower edge of a tubular object 8 (shown in broken lines in FIG. 8a) is received. The cap 19 of this object 8 enters the opening 7 'of the U-shaped folded element 13. 8c shows the blank for the embodiment according to FIGS. 8a and 8b.

9a and 9b show another way in which a second, lower folding element 13 'can be implemented. Here, the leg 14 'is articulated to the plate-shaped part 2 via an articulated line 5'. The leg 15 'is in the U-shaped deflected folding element 13' by means of two extensions 50 'on the plate-shaped part 2 fastened and passes through the opening 16. A cylindrical object 25 drawn in broken lines in FIG. 9a enters the opening 7 'with its upper part and the opening 7''with its lower part. 9c shows the blank of this embodiment. This embodiment is very similar to that of FIG. 7b, but an additional plate part 51 is attached via the fold line 5 'at the lower end of the plate-shaped part 2, which forms the U-shaped foldable folding element 13'.

Finally, FIGS. 10a and 10c show a modification of the embodiment according to FIG. 8. Here, the upper folding element 13 is omitted. Instead, in the embodiment according to FIG. 10b, the opening 16 tapers upwards in the drawing. An object 52 with a rectangular cross section, shown in broken lines in FIG. 10 a, enters with its base into the rectangular opening 7 ″ in the U-shaped folded element 13 ′. The edges of the tapered portion of the opening 16 enter recesses 53 in the cap 54 of the article 52. In this way too, a product or object 52 is securely fastened to the plate-shaped part 2.
