Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pack, in particular cuboid pack, for receiving a stack of (paper) handkerchiefs, of paper, parchment, thin cardboard, foil or the like.
  • a pack for receiving a stack of (paper) handkerchiefs, of paper, parchment, thin cardboard, foil or the like.
  • the invention relates to a blank, in particular for the formation of the pack mentioned, and a method for producing a pack, in particular from such a blank.
  • So-called paper handkerchiefs are usually in a bundle, usually with ten pieces each, packed with a wrapping made of plastic film or paper.
  • the handkerchiefs should be protected against external influences as much as possible until they are removed.
  • opening the package for the first time should be easy and, if possible, reclose it.
  • the pack should be environmentally friendly, that is, the waste generated after using all the tissues should be as low as possible.
  • a pack with the features mentioned above is known from DE-U-83 19 608.0.
  • the object of the present invention is to further improve the described package with regard to the criteria mentioned.
  • a package that is particularly suitable for a wrapper made of paper or similar materials is to be created.
  • the object is achieved in that a connection which can be torn off to open the package exists between the sealing flap and a partial region of the edges of the removal opening.
  • a connection which can be torn off to open the package exists between the sealing flap and a partial region of the edges of the removal opening.
  • there can be an adhesive connection between the sealing flap and the edges of the removal opening in particular a permanent adhesive connection, preferably made of a so-called hot melt, which enables reclosing.
  • the pack according to the invention is easy to open, offers good protection for the contents and is particularly environmentally friendly since the wrapper can be produced from paper.
  • the tearable connection (connecting line) is advantageously formed in a lower region of the removal opening, in particular in a region opposite the end wall adjoining the front wall. This results in a favorable force when opening the pack for the first time.
  • the blank 10 shown in FIG. 1 for forming a pack 11 according to the invention has a rectangular basic shape.
  • the largest areas within the blank 10 are a rear wall 12 and a front wall 13, connected by a long narrow side wall 14.
  • Left flaps 15, 16 adjoin the rear wall 12 and right to the front wall 13 to form a side wall 17 opposite the side wall 14 .
  • 1 and 2 are possibly pre-punched later fold lines, while thicker lines represent the outline and incisions.
  • a special feature can be seen in the area of the front wall 13, namely between this and the inner cover flap 22 arranged above.
  • An approximately trapezoidal closing flap 30 is provided there, which is separated from the inner cover flap 22 by a fold line 31.
  • the closing tab 30 is separated from the blank 10 with the exception of a residual connection 32, in particular by punch cuts 33, 34.
  • the punch cuts 33, 34 run in a continuation of incisions 33a, 34a from the contact points 35, 36 facing the front wall 13 between the side tabs 21 and the side wall 14 or the side tab 23 and the longitudinal tab 16 in the direction of the inner cover tabs 28 and the bottom wall 24 converges and are finally connected in the region of cut ends 37, 38 by the residual connection 32 already mentioned.
  • a short distance above the remaining connection 32, the punch cuts 33, 34 are also connected to one another by a transverse folding line 39. Their function is clear in connection with FIG. 2.
  • the inner folding flap 22 is folded downwards along the flap 30 Remaining connection 32 and upward folding along the folding line 39 down by twice the distance between the folding line 39 and the remaining connection 32.
  • the fold line 31 now ends with the contact points 35, 36.
  • a permanently acting adhesive for example as a hot melt 41, 42 (see FIG. 4), is preferably applied in the area of the die cuts 33, 34 defining a later removal opening 40.
  • the adhesive is preferably set so that the closing flap 30 to be placed on it later can be opened and closed several times.
  • the blank 10 is preferably made of thin paper or paper-like material and is therefore particularly easy to dispose of. However, a design in thin cardboard, plastic film or the like is also possible.
  • the remaining connection 32 is adapted to the material. It is destroyed or torn off when the package is opened. Perforation or the like can be considered for this. The tear-off process is facilitated by the web 43 formed between the remaining connection 32 and the folding line 39 and which can be easily grasped with one hand.
  • the folding described above to form the web 43 reduces the width of the inner cover flap 22 compared to the outer cover flap 20.
  • the procedure is such that after the formation of an envelope open on both sides while overlapping the longitudinal tabs 15, 16 to form the side wall 17, the side tabs 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29 are first folded inwards. Only then is the inner cover flap 22 or 28 and finally the outer cover flap 20 or 26 folded inwards. 3, 4, the outer cover flaps 20, 26 are each on the outside.
  • the tabs mentioned are preferably glued to one another.
  • the downward folding of the closure flap 30 and the associated reduced width of the inner cover flap 22 contribute significantly to the rectangular shape of the blank 10.
  • the upper and lower cutting edges 46, 47 run in a straight line without interruptions. This makes it possible to sever the blanks 10 from a blank web in the simplest way.
  • the finished pack in the lower region that is to say in the region of the bottom wall 24, is particularly stable due to the side tabs 25, 27, 29 and top tabs 26, 28 which lie here on top of one another, resulting in a secure grip and an overall stable packaging up to Removal of the last handkerchief results.
  • FIG. 4 shows the package 11 in the open state, that is to say with a severed residual connection 32, detached adhesive connection (hot melt 41, 42) and the flap 30 folded up.
  • a handkerchief 48 can be seen in dashed lines, partially removed .
  • a fold line 49 or 50 is provided between the side flap 21 and the side wall 14 or the side flap 23 and the longitudinal flap 16, starting from the contact point 35 or 36, with a short incision 49a or 50a.
  • an incision 51a analogous to the incision 50a is provided along a fold line 51 between the longitudinal tab 15 and the side tab 19.
  • the removal opening 40 widened in this way permits easy removal of individual handkerchiefs 48 from the one which preferably holds ten handkerchiefs Pack 11.
  • an adhesive strip is applied to the web 43 to extend the closure flap 30. This is glued either only to the closure flap 30 or to this and at the same time also to the front wall 13 (when the package 11 is closed).
