Definitions
- the invention relates to a multi-piece pack according to the preamble of claim 1.
- quill boxes have become known for the transport of multi-piece packs filled with reusable bottles. These reach into the interstices of the bottle with quillings rising from a base plate. The quills reach through the quill openings of the packing base. After the packs have been removed, the bottles can be individually adjusted in the quill box, whereby they are held on the side by the quills and partitions. Quill boxes with four partition walls on all sides are common surrounding segments for a pack of six bottles, each segment being assigned two quills. In total, these boxes are equipped with eight quills.
- EP-A-0 436 968 already discloses multi-piece packs of the type mentioned at the outset for such quill boxes, which have two quill punchings in the bottom wall.
- the multi-piece packs of closed end flaps and bottom flaps are closed, which are glued together and form an EAN code or a bar code cover.
- the bottom flaps extend across the entire central region of the front openings. The front and bottom flaps thus simultaneously effect an end closure of the pack, which prevents the container used from falling out.
- this multi-piece pack is not suitable for five, ten or other quill boxes in which a quill must be placed between two adjacent packs.
- the same European patent publication discloses a further blank which is provided with rim quills.
- the object of the invention is to improve a multi-piece pack of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it is suitable for quill boxes with quills to be arranged between adjacent packs, and yet the bar or EAN codes securely covering and used containers have sufficiently securing front closures.
- the blank is cuffed around the container and has two opposite side walls, a bottom wall with a quill punch and a top wall and two front openings.
- the wall sections each have end flaps on both sides, which extend into the end openings against the lower edge region the adjacent container is pivoted and the bottom wall has bottom flaps on both sides which are pivoted against the adjacent front flaps, the front flaps and bottom flaps being fixed to one another in this position.
- the end wall of the bottom wall has the penetration of a partial quill cross-section, preferably a quill half cross-section, which enables punched-out edge quills.
- the bottom flaps have a central section which has, above the common longitudinal axis of the quill cut-outs, an insertion slot starting from its bottom edge and oriented vertically to the bottom wall and a tear line that can be separated by an penetrating quill in its extension up to its edge facing away from the bottom.
- the middle section is articulated on both sides via folding lines perpendicular to the bottom wall of lateral sections thereof, the folding lines serving to pivot its separated halves through the penetrating sleeve against the container.
- a multi-piece pack is thus made available which, before being inserted into a quill support, has the end faces in the lower edge region of the bottles which completely bridge bottle locks or bar code covers.
- the center sections of these covers are in when the multi-piece pack is inserted the carrier is pressed against the bottles by the quills so that the codes are not visible through the channels pressed in by the quills.
- a secure closure is further effected by the articulations on the bottom of the side base plate sections and the articulations of the end plates on the side walls.
- the folding lines of the central sections preferably start from the front ends of the rim pin punchings, so that only a relatively small part of the bottom flaps are pressed against the containers.
- edge sleeve punchings can have two edges diverging towards the end faces with hinged sleeve flaps, which can be folded against the container by a penetrating sleeve and can secure the container and the pivoted-in halves of the central sections there.
- the quill flaps can have a protrusion with respect to the bottom flaps towards the common longitudinal axis of the quill punchings, so that when they are folded up through the quills they can take the halves of the central sections with them and anchor them between themselves and the containers.
- the middle section can have edge flaps on both sides of the insertion slot, which are each articulated via a further folding line of the middle section running to the bottom end of the adjacent folding line of the middle section.
- the edge flaps are taken along when the quill flaps are folded up and promote that the middle section halves are in direct contact with the containers when the quill is inserted further.
- this can open into the tip of an arrow-shaped recess at at least one end.
- the recesses support tearing open for a force perpendicular to the arrowhead, which is exerted by a penetrating quill.
- the blank 1 has a top wall 2 with two laterally hinged side walls 3, 4 and laterally hinged sections 5 ', 5' 'of a bottom wall, which is designated as a whole by 5 below.
- a top wall 2 with two laterally hinged side walls 3, 4 and laterally hinged sections 5 ', 5' 'of a bottom wall, which is designated as a whole by 5 below.
- openings 6, 7 for receiving upper and lower bottle edges.
- end flaps 8, 8 ', 9, 9' are hinged on both sides to the side walls 3, 4, which are part of a front closure or a bar code cover. Also part of this front closure are bottom tabs 10, 10 'which are hinged to both ends of section 5''of the bottom.
- the sections of the base 5 ', 5' ' have quill cutouts 11', 11 '', which are designated in the following as a whole by 11 and of which the former are only edge incisions of the section 5 'because of the asymmetrical overlap of the base sections.
- the section 2 'of the base has rim pin punchings 12, which can be seen better in FIG. 2.
- the edge quill holes 12 are each formed symmetrically to the common longitudinal axis of the quill holes 11 '. They have fold lines 13 designed as creasing lines, which diverge from a point on the longitudinal axis to the end edges of the base section 5 ′′. Between the folding lines 13, a cutting line 14 extends on the longitudinal axis, which delimits triangular quill flaps 15, 16 towards the front edges. The sleeve flaps 15, 16 are extended towards the longitudinal axis so that they protrude there beyond the remaining end edge of the bottom section 5 ′′.
- the bottom flaps 10 have a central section 17 which is articulated on both sides via folding lines 18 in the form of creasing lines to side sections 19 of the bottom flap 10.
- the middle section has on the common longitudinal axis of the sleeve punching 11 ′′ and edge sleeve punching 12 17 an insertion slot 20 which starts from a bottom edge of the middle section 17.
- a tear line 21 is formed in the form of a bridged punching, which extends to the edge of the bottom flap 10 facing away from the floor.
- Recesses 22 ', 22''in the form of arrowheads are arranged on both ends of the tear line 21.
- the central section 17 disintegrates into halves 17 ′, 17 ′′.
- both halves 17 ', 17' 'of the central section 17 each have an edge flap 23', 23 '' which are articulated in the form of creasing lines via further folding lines 24 ', 24' '.
- the folding lines 24 ', 24' ' start at a distance from the bottom section 5' 'of the insertion slot 20 and open at the intersection of the folding lines 13 and 18. At this intersection, punching lines 25', 25 '' which open the edge flaps 23 ', Separate 23 '' from the quill flaps 15, 16.
- the blank 1 is placed like a cuff around six bottles 26, with the top wall 2, side walls 3, 4 and bottom wall 5 on interconnected sections 5 ', 5 '' form a tubular receptacle.
- the bottom sections 5 ', 5'' can be glued or locked together.
- the end flaps 8, 9 and the bottom flaps 10 are each to be punched into the end openings of the pack in the direction of the arrow and fastened to one another by gluing.
- the multi-piece pack is shown in FIG. 4. It can be seen that the front closure is only partially interrupted by the insertion slot 20 and that the edge flaps 23 ', 23' 'of the central section 17 are spaced in the middle from the bottom wall 5. There the quill flaps 15 and 16 project outwards beyond the central section 17.
- a quill 27 (of a diamond-shaped cross section) of a quill box 27 abuts the quill plates 13 with its tip when the multi-piece pack according to FIG Turn in 17 ', 17''of the middle section 17.
- the sleeve straps 13 and from these the edge straps 23 ', 23''and the halves 17', 17 '' of the central section 17 are folded up or further inwards until they abut the bottles 26.
- the folding in is favored by the folding lines 18.
- the halves of the middle section 17 are fixed by the sleeve straps 13, and they remain in this position even after the multi-piece packs have been removed from the sleeve case 28.

Abstract
Description
Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine Mehrstückpackung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a multi-piece pack according to the preamble of
Für den Transport von Mehrstückpackungen, die mit Mehrwegflaschen gefüllt sind, sind sogenannte Pinolenkästen bekannt geworden. Diese greifen mit von einer Bodenplatte aufstehenden Pinolen in Flaschenzwischenräume ein. Dabei durchgreifen die Pinolen Pinolenöffnungen des Packungsbodens. Nach dem Entfernen der Packungen sind die Flaschen einzeln in den Pinolenkasten einstellbar, wobei sie seitlich von den Pinolen und Trennwänden gehalten werden. Üblich sind Pinolenkästen mit vier allseitig von Trennwänden umgebenen Segmenten für jeweils eine Packung mit sechs Flaschen, wobei jedem Segment zwei Pinolen zugeordnet sind. Insgesamt sind diese Kästen also mit acht Pinolen ausgerüstet.So-called quill boxes have become known for the transport of multi-piece packs filled with reusable bottles. These reach into the interstices of the bottle with quillings rising from a base plate. The quills reach through the quill openings of the packing base. After the packs have been removed, the bottles can be individually adjusted in the quill box, whereby they are held on the side by the quills and partitions. Quill boxes with four partition walls on all sides are common surrounding segments for a pack of six bottles, each segment being assigned two quills. In total, these boxes are equipped with eight quills.
Für derartige Pinolenkästen sind aus der EP-A-0 436 968 schon Mehrstückpackungen der eingangs genannten Art bekannt geworden, die zwei Pinolenausstanzungen in der Bodenwand haben. Stirnseitig sind die Mehrstückpackungen von eingeklappten Stirnlaschen und Bodenlaschen geschlossen, die miteinander verklebt sind und einen EAN-Code oder eine Bar-Code-Abdeckung bilden. Für eine vollständige Abdeckung dieser Informationen auf den Behältern erstrecken sich die Bodenlaschen quer über den gesamten Mittelbereich der Stirnöffnungen. Die Stirn- und Bodenlaschen bewirken so zugleich einen stirnseitigen Verschluß der Packung, der eingesetzte Behälter an einem Herausfallen hindert.EP-A-0 436 968 already discloses multi-piece packs of the type mentioned at the outset for such quill boxes, which have two quill punchings in the bottom wall. On the front side, the multi-piece packs of closed end flaps and bottom flaps are closed, which are glued together and form an EAN code or a bar code cover. To completely cover this information on the containers, the bottom flaps extend across the entire central region of the front openings. The front and bottom flaps thus simultaneously effect an end closure of the pack, which prevents the container used from falling out.
Aufgrund dieser durchgehenden Stirnwände bzw. Bar-Code-Abdeckungen ist diese Mehrstückpackung nicht für Fünfer-, Zehner- oder andere Pinolen-Kästen geeignet, bei denen zwischen zwei benachbarten Packungen eine Pinole plaziert werden muß. Für derartige Pinolenkästen offenbart dieselbe europäische Patentveröffentlichung einen weiteren Zuschnitt, der mit Randpinolenausstanzungen versehen ist.Because of these continuous end walls or bar code covers, this multi-piece pack is not suitable for five, ten or other quill boxes in which a quill must be placed between two adjacent packs. For such quill boxes, the same European patent publication discloses a further blank which is provided with rim quills.
Damit die Pinolen die Ausstanzungen benachbarter Packungen durchgreifen können, haben deren stirnseitige Verschlüsse einen senkrecht zum Boden ausgerichteten Eindringspalt. Das ist mit einer relativ aufwendigen bodenseitigen Anlenkung der Bar-Code-Abdeckung verbunden, die hierdurch auch nicht vollständig geschlossen ist.So that the quills can penetrate the punched-out areas of adjacent packs, their frontal closures have a penetration gap that is aligned perpendicular to the floor. This is associated with a relatively complex bottom-side articulation of the bar code cover, which is also not completely closed as a result.
Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Mehrstückpackung der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, daß diese für Pinolenkästen mit zwischen benachbarten Packungen anzuordnenden Pinolen geeignet ist und dennoch die Bar- oder EAN-Codes sicher abdeckende und eingesetzte Behälter ausreichend sichernde Stirnverschlüsse aufweist.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to improve a multi-piece pack of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it is suitable for quill boxes with quills to be arranged between adjacent packs, and yet the bar or EAN codes securely covering and used containers have sufficiently securing front closures.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist im Anspruch 1 angegeben. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen enthalten.The solution to this problem is specified in
Erfindungsgemäß ist der Zuschnitt manschettenartig um die Behälter herumgelegt und hat zwei gegenüberliegende Seitenwände, eine Bodenwand mit Pinolenausstanzung und eine Deckwand sowie zwei stirnseitige Öffnungen. Die Wandabschnitte weisen jeweils beidseitig Stirnlaschen auf, die in die stirnseitigen Öffnungen gegen den unteren Randbereich der angrenzenden Behälter geschwenkt sind und die Bodenwand hat beidseitig Bodenlaschen, die gegen die benachbarten Stirnlaschen geschwenkt sind, wobei die Stirnlaschen und Bodenlaschen in dieser Position aneinander fixiert sind. Die Bodenwand hat stirnseitig das Eindringen eines Pinolenteilquerschnittes, vorzugsweise eines Pinolenhalbquerschnittes, ermöglichende Randpinolenausstanzungen. Ferner weisen die Bodenlaschen einen Mittelabschnitt auf, der über der gemeinsamen Längsachse der Pinolenausstanzungen einen von seinem bodenseitigen Rand ausgehenden und vertikal zur Bodenwand ausgerichteten Einführschlitz und eine durch eine eindringende Pinole trennbare Aufreißlinie in dessen Verlängerung bis zu ihrem bodenabgewandten Rand hat. Außerdem ist der Mittelabschnitt beidseitig über Klapplinien senkrecht zur Bodenwand an seitliche Abschnitte derselben angelenkt, wobei die Klapplinien zum Schwenken seiner aufgetrennten Hälften durch die eindringende Pinole gegen die Behälter dienen.According to the invention, the blank is cuffed around the container and has two opposite side walls, a bottom wall with a quill punch and a top wall and two front openings. The wall sections each have end flaps on both sides, which extend into the end openings against the lower edge region the adjacent container is pivoted and the bottom wall has bottom flaps on both sides which are pivoted against the adjacent front flaps, the front flaps and bottom flaps being fixed to one another in this position. The end wall of the bottom wall has the penetration of a partial quill cross-section, preferably a quill half cross-section, which enables punched-out edge quills. Furthermore, the bottom flaps have a central section which has, above the common longitudinal axis of the quill cut-outs, an insertion slot starting from its bottom edge and oriented vertically to the bottom wall and a tear line that can be separated by an penetrating quill in its extension up to its edge facing away from the bottom. In addition, the middle section is articulated on both sides via folding lines perpendicular to the bottom wall of lateral sections thereof, the folding lines serving to pivot its separated halves through the penetrating sleeve against the container.
Erfindungsgemäß wird somit eine Mehrstückpackung zur Verfügung gestellt, die vor dem Einsetzen in einen Pinolenträger die Stirnseiten im unteren Randbereich der Flaschen vollständig überbrückende Flaschensicherungen bzw. Bar-Code-Abdeckungen aufweist. Die Mittelabschnitte dieser Abdeckungen werden beim Einsetzen der Mehrstückpackung in den Träger von den Pinolen so gegen die Flaschen gedrückt, daß die Codes auch durch die von den Pinolen eingedrückten Kanäle hindurch nicht sichtbar sind. Ein sicherer Verschluß wird weiterhin durch die bodenseitigen Anlenkungen der seitlichen Bodenlaschen-Abschnitte und die Anlenkungen der Stirnlaschen an den Seitenwänden bewirkt.According to the invention, a multi-piece pack is thus made available which, before being inserted into a quill support, has the end faces in the lower edge region of the bottles which completely bridge bottle locks or bar code covers. The center sections of these covers are in when the multi-piece pack is inserted the carrier is pressed against the bottles by the quills so that the codes are not visible through the channels pressed in by the quills. A secure closure is further effected by the articulations on the bottom of the side base plate sections and the articulations of the end plates on the side walls.
Bevorzugt gehen die Klapplinien der Mittelabschnitte von den stirnseitigen Enden der Randpinolenausstanzungen aus, so daß ein nur relativ geringer Teil der Bodenlaschen gegen die Behälter gedrückt wird.The folding lines of the central sections preferably start from the front ends of the rim pin punchings, so that only a relatively small part of the bottom flaps are pressed against the containers.
Ferner können die Randpinolenausstanzungen zwei zu den Stirnseiten hin divergierende Kanten mit angelenkten Pinolenklappen haben, die von einer eindringenden Pinole gegen den Behälter klappbar sind und dort eine Sicherung der Behälter sowie der eingeschwenkten Hälften der Mittelabschnitte bewirken können. Die Pinolenklappen können zur gemeinsamen Längsachse der Pinolenstanzungen hin einen Überstand bezüglich der Bodenlaschen haben, so daß sie beim Hochklappen durch die Pinolen die Hälften der Mittelabschnitte mitnehmen und zwischen sich und den Behältern verankern können. Um das Mitnehmen der Mittelabschnitt-Hälften zu begünstigen, kann der Mittelabschnitt beidseitig des Einführschlitzes bodenseitig Randklappen haben, die jeweils über eine zum bodenseitigen Ende der benachbarten Klapplinie des Mittelabschnittes verlaufende weitere Klapplinie des Mittelabschnittes angelenkt sind. Die Randklappen werden beim Hochklappen der Pinolenklappen mitgenommen und fördern, daß die Mittelabschnitts-Hälften beim weiteren Einführen der Pinole unmittelbar an den Behältern anliegen.Furthermore, the edge sleeve punchings can have two edges diverging towards the end faces with hinged sleeve flaps, which can be folded against the container by a penetrating sleeve and can secure the container and the pivoted-in halves of the central sections there. The quill flaps can have a protrusion with respect to the bottom flaps towards the common longitudinal axis of the quill punchings, so that when they are folded up through the quills they can take the halves of the central sections with them and anchor them between themselves and the containers. In order to promote the entrainment of the middle section halves, the middle section can have edge flaps on both sides of the insertion slot, which are each articulated via a further folding line of the middle section running to the bottom end of the adjacent folding line of the middle section. The edge flaps are taken along when the quill flaps are folded up and promote that the middle section halves are in direct contact with the containers when the quill is inserted further.
Um das erwünschte Einreißen der Aufreißlinie des Mittelabschnittes durch eine eindringende Pinole zu begünstigen, kann diese an zumindest einem Ende in die Spitze einer pfeilförmigen Aussparung münden. Die Aussparungen unterstützen ein Aufreißen für eine Kraft senkrecht zur Pfeilspitze, die gezielt von einer eindringenden Pinole ausgeübt wird.In order to promote the desired tearing of the tear line of the central section by an penetrating sleeve, this can open into the tip of an arrow-shaped recess at at least one end. The recesses support tearing open for a force perpendicular to the arrowhead, which is exerted by a penetrating quill.

Gemäß Fig. 1 und 2 hat der Zuschnitt 1 eine Deckwand 2 mit zwei seitlich daran angelenkten Seitenwänden 3, 4 und daran seitlich angelenkten Abschnitten 5', 5'' einer Bodenwand, die nachstehend insgesamt mit 5 bezeichnet ist. In den Übergangsbereichen von Deckwand 2 und Seitenwänden 3, 4 sowie von Seitenwänden 3, 4 und Abschnitten 5', 5'' der Bodenwand befinden sich Öffnungen 6, 7 zur Aufnahme von oberen und unteren Flaschenrändern.1 and 2, the blank 1 has a
In der Nähe des Bodens sind beidseitig an die Seitenwände 3, 4 Stirnlaschen 8, 8', 9, 9' angelenkt, die Bestandteil eines stirnseitigen Verschlusses bzw. einer Bar-Code-Abdeckung sind. Ebenfalls Bestandteil dieses Stirnverschlusses sind Bodenlaschen 10, 10', die an beide Stirnenden des Abschnittes 5'' des Bodens angelenkt sind.In the vicinity of the floor,
Die Abschnitte des Bodens 5', 5'' haben Pinolenausstanzungen 11', 11'', die nachstehend insgesamt mit 11 bezeichnet sind und von denen die erstgenannten wegen der unsymmetrischen Überlappung der Bodenabschnitte nur Randeinschnitte des Abschnittes 5' sind.The sections of the base 5 ', 5' 'have quill cutouts 11', 11 '', which are designated in the following as a whole by 11 and of which the former are only edge incisions of the section 5 'because of the asymmetrical overlap of the base sections.
Außerdem weist der Abschnitt 2' des Bodens Randpinolenausstanzungen 12 auf, die besser in der Fig. 2 erkennbar sind. Die Randpinolenausstanzungen 12 sind jeweils symmetrisch zur gemeinsamen Längsachse der Pinolenausstanzungen 11' ausgebildet. Sie haben als Rillinien ausgestaltete Klapplinien 13, die von einem Punkt auf der Längsachse zu den Stirnkanten des Bodenabschnittes 5'' hin divergieren. Zwischen den Klapplinien 13 erstreckt sich auf der Längsachse eine Schnittlinie 14, die zu den Stirnkanten hin dreiecksförmige Pinolenklappen 15, 16 abgrenzt. Die Pinolenklappen 15, 16 sind zur Längsachse hin verlängert, so daß sie dort über die übrige Stirnkante des Bodenabschnittes 5'' hinausstehen.In addition, the section 2 'of the base has
Die Bodenlaschen 10 haben einen Mittelabschnitt 17, der beidseitig über Klapplinien 18 in Form von Rillinien an seitliche Abschnitte 19 der Bodenlasche 10 angelenkt ist. Auf der gemeinsamen Längsachse der Pinolenausstanzungen 11'' und Randpinolenausstanzungen 12 hat der Mittelabschnitt 17 einen Einführschlitz 20, der von einer bodenseitigen Kante des Mittelabschnittes 17 ausgeht. In Verlängerung des Einführschlitzes 20 auf der Längachse ist eine Aufreißlinie 21 in Form einer verbrückten Stanzung ausgebildet, die sich bis zur bodenabgewandten Kante der Bodenlasche 10 erstreckt. Beidenends der Aufreißlinie 21 sind Aussparungen 22', 22'' in Form von Pfeilspitzen angeordnet.The bottom flaps 10 have a
Nach dem Aufreißen der Aufreißlinie 21 zerfällt der Mittelabschnitt 17 in Hälften 17', 17''.After the
Bodenseitig haben beide Hälften 17', 17'' des Mittelabschnitts 17 jeweils eine Randklappe 23', 23'', die über weitere Klapplinien 24', 24'' in Form von Rillinien angelenkt sind. Die Klapplinien 24', 24'' gehen in einem Abstand vom Bodenabschnitt 5'' vom Einführschlitz 20 aus und münden im Schnittpunkt der Klapplinien 13 und 18. In diesen Schnittpunkt münden auch Stanzlinien 25', 25'', welche die Randklappen 23', 23'' von den Pinolenklappen 15, 16 trennen.On the bottom side, both halves 17 ', 17' 'of the
Gemäß Fig. 3 ist der Zuschnitt 1 manschettenartig um sechs Flaschen 26 gelegt, wobei Deckwand 2, Seitenwände 3, 4 und Bodenwand 5 auf miteinander verbundenen Abschnitten 5', 5'' eine röhrenförmige Aufnahme bilden. Die Bodenabschnitte 5', 5'' können bekannterweise miteinander verklebt oder verrastet sein.3, the blank 1 is placed like a cuff around six
Für einen stirnseitigen Verschluß bzw. eine EAN-Code-Abdeckung sind noch die Stirnlaschen 8, 9 sowie die Bodenlaschen 10 jeweils in Pfeilrichtung in die Stirnöffnungen der Packung zu schlagen und aneinander durch Verleimen zu befestigen.For an end closure or an EAN code cover, the end flaps 8, 9 and the bottom flaps 10 are each to be punched into the end openings of the pack in the direction of the arrow and fastened to one another by gluing.
In diesem Zustand ist die Mehrstückpackung in der Fig. 4 gezeigt. Man erkennt, daß der stirnseitige Verschluß nur teilweise von dem Einführschlitz 20 unterbrochen ist und daß die Randklappen 23', 23'' des Mittelabschnittes 17 in der Mitte von der Bodenwand 5 beabstandet sind. Dort stehen die Pinolenklappen 15 und 16 nach außen über den Mittelabschnitt 17 hinaus.In this state, the multi-piece pack is shown in FIG. 4. It can be seen that the front closure is only partially interrupted by the
Gemäß Fig. 5 stößt eine (im Querschnitt rautenförmige) Pinole 27 eines Pinolenkastens 27 beim Aufsetzen der Mehrstückpackung gemäß Fig. 4 mit ihrer Spitze gegen die Pinolenlaschen 13, wodurch diese hochklappen und dabei die Randlaschen 23', 23'' (verdeckt) der Hälften 17', 17'' des Mittelabschnittes 17 einschlagen. Beim Absenken der Mehrstückpackung in Pfeilrichtung über die in Fig. 5 gezeigte Position hinaus dringt die Spitze der Pinole 27 in den Einführschlitz 20 ein, wobei die Aufreißperforation 21 vollständig aufgerissen wird. Dabei werden die Pinolenlaschen 13 und von diesen die Randlaschen 23', 23'' sowie die Hälften 17', 17'' des Mittelabschnittes 17 auf- bzw. weiter einwärts geklappt, bis sie an den Flaschen 26 anliegen. Hinsichtlich der Abschnitte 17', 17'' wird das Einschlagen durch die Klapplinien 18 begünstigt.According to FIG. 5, a quill 27 (of a diamond-shaped cross section) of a
In Endanlage an den Flaschen sind die Hälften des Mittelabschnittes 17 durch die Pinolenlaschen 13 fixiert, wobei sie auch nach Entnahme der Mehrstückpackungen aus dem Pinolenkasten 28 in dieser Lage verbleiben.In the final contact with the bottles, the halves of the
