Definitions
- the invention relates to a sales and supply pack for air / zinc cells with a carrier on which the cells are glued with their base, which is provided with air inlet openings.
- the packaging is a real sales aid thanks to its designer design and, if necessary, with obvious instructions for use.
- a corresponding packaging element is e.g. B. the push-through pack described in DE-A-36 30 926. Between a tear-proof, airtight and transparent plastic film with cup-shaped features and an aluminum film sealed onto it, the cells are protected from the surrounding air.
- US-A-4 015 708 discloses a folding case as a packaging element for air / zinc cells. This contains a cardboard carrier with circular recesses for receiving the button cells, which are glued to the bottom of a film cover on the underside of the carrier.
- Peeling off the label with a small grip bottle can be very difficult for older and frail people. In the case of unskilled persons, it also happens that the removal of the label is completely omitted and the inactivated cell is then rejected as unsuitable.
- the invention has for its object to provide a packaging element for air / zinc cells, in which the disadvantages mentioned in connection with the activation of the cell are excluded, which enables long storage and presents the button cells in an appealing manner.
- the invention is essentially a blister card of the push-through type with an integrated adhesive closure.
- the advantage of this new packaging is that when a button cell is pressed out of the blister, an adhesive film detaches from the cell and remains on the multiple pack, so that improper battery removal cannot occur.
- the sales package 1 is based on a gloss-laminated cardboard carrier 2 with a hanging eye 3, which is sealed with a transparent plastic film 4 with cup-like features 5 (blister packs) for receiving button cells 6.
- the open space of the carrier can be used for lettering or decorative purposes (company logo).
- the air inlet openings 7 present in the cell bottoms are sealed airtight by means of a second film 8, with which the cells are underlaid and to which the cells are glued.
- This film thus represents a peel and seal film common to all cells. For this purpose it is coated on the top with an adhesive to which the cells adhere.
- the peel-off film 8 accordingly extends to below the bottoms of the cells and thus all the way into the areas of the carrier 2 through which the cells 6 can be pushed.
- the outline of the peel-off film therefore resembles a rosette with a number of tongues corresponding to the number of cells on which the button cells 6 are seated.
- the blister 4, 5 with the cup openings facing upwards, and the peel-off film is stuck onto the cell bottoms and onto the blister. Then the box is sealed.
- the sealing wax applied to the cardboard while leaving out the removal areas for the cells also results in a firm connection between the cardboard and the release film.
- the adhesive coating of the release film 8 is designated by 9.
- the underside of the peel-off film 8 is also included, but the firm adhesive connection of the film to the cardboard is limited to the central area between the cup-shaped features 5.
- the film 8 rests freely on the carrier in those areas of the cardboard carrier 2 which are covered by the cup-shaped features 5 of the plastic film 4 and which have to be pressed through to remove the cells. These are their tongue-shaped sections adhering to the cell bottoms.
- the carton carrier 2 is provided in these areas with perforations 10, 11 (see FIG. 3) which are adapted to the cell shape.
- the perforations are supplemented by cutouts 12 in the cardboard carrier. These make it easier for the cardboard to break away over the breaking line 11 in the perforation area when the cell is pushed through.
- the cell as can be seen from the right part of FIG. 2, initially still adheres to the film 8. It can then be easily pulled off the film, while this remains as an integral part of the packaging on the carrier.
- Figure 3 which shows the underside of the sales packaging in a plan view, shows the perforations as lines 10.
- the mentioned recesses 12 in the cardboard carrier form narrow windows with a lenticular outline. Edge openings of the cells or of the tongue sections of the label film 8 adhering to their bottoms are visible through these openings. As can be seen from FIG. 2, these tongue sections are kept free of the adhesive layer on their underside. Contamination of the fingers during the detachment of the cell 6 from the film 8 is thus excluded.
- the new sales package enables uncomplicated and always correct removal of the batteries without effort. It ensures that the batteries stay fresh even when stored for a long time and is also environmentally friendly.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verkaufs- und Vorratspackung für Luft/Zinkzellen mit einem Träger, auf welchem die Zellen mit ihrem Boden, der mit Lufteintrittsöffnungen versehen ist, aufgeklebt sind.The invention relates to a sales and supply pack for air / zinc cells with a carrier on which the cells are glued with their base, which is provided with air inlet openings.
Der umfangreiche Verbrauch von Zink/Luftzellen in Knopfzellenform für Zwecke der Unterhaltungselektronik, für Taschenrechner oder insbesondere für Hörgeräte macht zwangsläufig auch die Verpackung dieses Massenartikels zu einem wichtigen Faktor. Sie muß einerseits wirtschaftlich sein, andererseits auch ein ansprechendes Aussehen aufweisen, um das Kaufinteresse zu fördern.The extensive consumption of zinc / air cells in button cell form for the purposes of consumer electronics, for pocket calculators or especially for hearing aids inevitably makes the packaging of this mass article an important factor. On the one hand, it must be economical, on the other hand, it must also have an attractive appearance in order to promote buying interest.
Da der Kunde heute in der Regel auf Märkten und in Warenhäusern kaum eine persönliche Beratung findet, stellt die Verpackung durch ihre designerische Gestaltung und gegebenenfalls mit augenfälligen Gebrauchshinweisen versehen auch eine echte Verkaufshilfe dar.Since customers today can hardly find personal advice in markets and department stores, the packaging is a real sales aid thanks to its designer design and, if necessary, with obvious instructions for use.
In Anlehnung an die Tabletten-Verpackungen der Pharma-Industrie wurden für gasdichte Knopfzellen des wiederaufladbaren Ni/Cd-Systems oder der Primärsysteme Ag₂O/Zn und HgO/Zn ursprünglich ähnliche Verpackungen eingeführt, die beispielsweise aus zwei ineinandergefügten Plastikschalen bestanden, von denen die eine Schale zur Aufnahme der Zellen in kreisförmig angeordnete Fächer aufgeteilt war und gegen die andere Schale gedreht werden konnte, derart, daß die Aufnahmefächer der Reihe nach mit einem Ausgabeauslaß in der anderen Schale zur Deckung gebracht wurden und die jeweilige Zelle entnommen werden konnte.Based on the tablet packaging of the pharmaceutical industry, similar packaging was originally introduced for gas-tight button cells of the rechargeable Ni / Cd system or the primary systems Ag₂O / Zn and HgO / Zn, which consisted, for example, of two interlinked plastic trays, one of which was a tray for accommodating the cells was divided into compartments arranged in a circle and could be rotated against the other shell in such a way that the compartments were brought into alignment with an outlet outlet in the other shell and the respective cell could be removed.
Bei Zink/Luftzellen stellte sich jedoch das besondere Problem, daß deren im Kathodenbecher befindliche Lufteinlaßöffnungen bis zum Zeitpunkt der Ingebrauchnahme vor Luftzutritt und Feuchtigkeit geschützt werden mußten, d. h. die Zellen mußten in der Verpackung auch lagerfähig sein.In the case of zinc / air cells, however, there was the particular problem that their air inlet openings in the cathode cup had to be protected from air access and moisture until they were put into use. H. the cells also had to be storable in the packaging.
Ein entsprechendes Verpackungselement ist z. B. die in der DE-A-36 30 926 beschriebene Durchdrückpackung. Zwischen einer reißfesten, luftdichten und transparenten Kunststoff-Folie mit napfförmigen Ausprägungen und einer auf diese aufgesiegelten Aluminiumfolie sind die Zellen darin im ganzen vor der Umgebungsluft geschützt.A corresponding packaging element is e.g. B. the push-through pack described in DE-A-36 30 926. Between a tear-proof, airtight and transparent plastic film with cup-shaped features and an aluminum film sealed onto it, the cells are protected from the surrounding air.
Die US-A-4 015 708 offenbart als Verpackungselement für Luft/Zinkzellen ein Faltmäppchen. Dieses enthält einen Träger aus Karton mit kreisförmigen Aussparungen zur Aufnahme der Knopfzellen, die mit ihrem Boden auf einer unterseitigen Folienabdeckung des Trägers aufgeklebt sind.US-A-4 015 708 discloses a folding case as a packaging element for air / zinc cells. This contains a cardboard carrier with circular recesses for receiving the button cells, which are glued to the bottom of a film cover on the underside of the carrier.
Der Wunsch, den Material- und Fertigungsaufwand bekannter Verpackungen zu verringern, hat häufig dazu geführt, daß man sich auf ein auf dem Batterieboden aufgeklebtes Etikett beschränkte, welches von Hand abgezogen werden muß, bevor die Batterie z. B. in ein Hörgerät eingesetzt wird.The desire to reduce the material and manufacturing costs of known packaging has often led to the fact that one was limited to a label stuck to the bottom of the battery, which must be removed by hand before the battery z. B. is used in a hearing aid.
Das Abziehen des Etiketts durch eine kleine Grifflasche kann allerdings älteren und gebrechlichen Menschen große Mühe bereiten. Bei sachunkundigen Personen kommt es auch vor, daß die Entfernung des Etiketts ganz unterbleibt und die nicht aktivierte Zelle dann als untauglich verworfen wird.Peeling off the label with a small grip bottle can be very difficult for older and frail people. In the case of unskilled persons, it also happens that the removal of the label is completely omitted and the inactivated cell is then rejected as unsuitable.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verpackungselement für Luft/Zinkzellen anzugeben, bei dem die erwähnten Nachteile im Zusammenhang mit der Aktivierung der Zelle ausgeschlossen sind, welches eine lange Lagerhaltung ermöglicht und die Knopfzellen auf ansprechende Weise präsentiert.The invention has for its object to provide a packaging element for air / zinc cells, in which the disadvantages mentioned in connection with the activation of the cell are excluded, which enables long storage and presents the button cells in an appealing manner.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Verkaufspackung gelöst, wie sie im Patentanspruch 1 definiert ist.The object is achieved by a sales package, as defined in
Danach handelt es sich bei der Erfindung im wesentlichen um eine Blisterkarte vom Durchdrück-Typ mit einem integrierten Klebe-Verschluß. Der Vorteil dieser neuen Verpackung liegt darin, daß beim Ausdrücken einer Knopfzelle aus dem Blister sich eine Klebefolie von der Zelle ablöst und an der Mehrfachpackung zurückbleibt, so daß es nicht zu einer unsachgemäßen Batterieentnahme kommen kann.According to this, the invention is essentially a blister card of the push-through type with an integrated adhesive closure. The advantage of this new packaging is that when a button cell is pressed out of the blister, an adhesive film detaches from the cell and remains on the multiple pack, so that improper battery removal cannot occur.
Der Gegenstand der Erfindung wird anhand dreier Figuren näher erläutert:
Figur 1 zeigt die erfindungsgemäße Mehrfachpackung in einer Schrägansicht;Figur 2 zeigt die Packung im Längsschnitt (schematisch);Figur 3 zeigt die Packung von der Unterseite in einer Draufsicht.
- Figure 1 shows the multiple pack according to the invention in an oblique view;
- Figure 2 shows the package in longitudinal section (schematic);
- Figure 3 shows the package from the bottom in a plan view.
Gemäß Figur 1 liegt der Verkaufspackung 1 ein glanzkaschierter Karton-Träger 2 mit Aufhängeöse 3 zugrunde, welchem eine transparente Kunststoff-Folie 4 mit napfartigen Ausprägungen 5 (Blister) zur Aufnahme von Knopfzellen 6 aufgesiegelt ist. Die Freifläche des Trägers kann zu Beschriftungen oder Dekorzwecken (Firmenzeichen) genutzt werden.According to FIG. 1, the
Die in den Zellenböden vorhandenen Lufteinlaßöffnungen 7 (vgl. Fig. 2) sind mittels einer zweiten Folie 8, mit welcher die Zellen unterlegt sind und auf welche die Zellen aufgeklebt sind, luftdicht verschlossen. Diese Folie stellt damit eine allen Zellen gemeinsame Abzieh- und Verschlußfolie dar. Sie ist zu diesem Zweck oberseitig mit einem Klebemittel, an welchem die Zellen haften, beschichtet.The air inlet openings 7 present in the cell bottoms (cf. FIG. 2) are sealed airtight by means of a
Vom Zentrum der kreisförmigen Zellenanordnung ausgehend, erstreckt sich die Abziehfolie 8 dementsprechend bis unter die Böden der Zellen und damit ringsum in die Bereiche des Trägers 2 hinein, durch welche die Zellen 6 durchdrückbar sind. Der Umriß der Abziehfolie gleicht daher einer Rosette mit einer der Anzahl der Zellen entsprechenden Zahl von Zungen, auf denen die Knopfzellen 6 aufsitzen.Starting from the center of the circular cell arrangement, the peel-off
Bei der Fertigung ist der Blister 4,5 mit den Napföffnungen nach oben gekehrt, und die Abziehfolie wird auf die Zellenböden sowie auf den Blister aufgeklebt. Anschließend wird der Karton aufgesiegelt. Dabei kommt es durch den auf den Karton unter Aussparung der Entnahmebereiche für die Zellen aufgebrachten Siegellack auch zu einer festen Verbindung zwischen dem Karton und der Abziehfolie.During production, the
Der Aufbau der fertigen Verkaufspackung geht aus der Längsschnittdarstellung nach Figur 2 deutlicher hervor. Die Bezugszeichen, soweit schon erwähnt, entsprechen denen der Figur 1.The structure of the finished sales package is clearer from the longitudinal sectional view of Figure 2. The reference symbols, as far as already mentioned, correspond to those in FIG. 1.
Mit 9 ist die Klebemittel-Beschichtung der Abziehfolie 8 bezeichnet.The adhesive coating of the
Vom Aufsiegeln des Kartons 2 auf den Blister 4,5 wird auch die Unterseite der Abziehfolie 8 mit erfaßt, wobei sich die feste Haftverbindung der Folie am Karton jedoch auf den zentralen Bereich zwischen den napfförmigen Ausprägungen 5 beschränkt. Dagegen liegt die Folie 8 in denjenigen Bereichen des Karton-Trägers 2, welche von den napfförmigen Ausprägungen 5 der Kunststoff-Folie 4 überdeckt werden und welche zur Entnahme der Zellen durchgedrückt werden müssen, frei auf dem Träger auf. Dieses sind ihre an den Zellenböden haftenden zungenförmigen Abschnitte. Der Karton-Träger 2 ist in diesen Bereichen mit Perforierungen 10,11 (vgl. Fig. 3) versehen, welche der Zellenform angepaßt sind.When the
Die Perforierungen werden durch Aussparungen 12 im Karton-Träger ergänzt. Diese erleichtern beim Durchdrücken der Zelle das Wegbrechen des Kartons über die Bruchlinie 11 im Perforierungsbereich. Dabei bleibt die Zelle, wie aus dem rechten Teil der Figur 2 zu ersehen, an der Folie 8 anfangs noch haften. Sie läßt sich dann leicht von der Folie abziehen, während diese als integrales Teil der Verpackung am Träger zurückbleibt.The perforations are supplemented by
Figur 3, welche die Unterseite der Verkaufsverpackung in einer Draufsicht wiedergibt, läßt die Perforierungen als Linien 10 erkennen. Die erwähnten Aussparungen 12 im Karton-Träger bilden schmale Fenster mit linsenförmigem Umriß. Durch diese Öffnungen sind Randausschnitte der Zellen bzw. der ihren Böden anhaftenden Zungenabschnitte der Etikett-Folie 8 sichtbar. Diese Zungenabschnitte sind, wie man aus Figur 2 erkennen kann, auf ihrer Unterseite von der Klebeschicht freigehalten. Eine Verschmutzung der Finger während des Ablösens der Zelle 6 von der Folie 8 ist somit ausgeschlossen.Figure 3, which shows the underside of the sales packaging in a plan view, shows the perforations as
Die neue Verkaufspackung ermöglicht eine unkomplizierte und stets sachgerechte Entnahme der Batterien ohne Kraftaufwand. Sie gewährleistet ein Frischbleiben der Batterien auch während langer Vorratshaltung und ist außerdem umweltfreundlich.The new sales package enables uncomplicated and always correct removal of the batteries without effort. It ensures that the batteries stay fresh even when stored for a long time and is also environmentally friendly.
