Abstract

The package for beverage cans has the shape of a cardboard pallet. The bottom (11) of the pallet is lined with a sheet of hygienic material, in particular of hygienic paper (3). Placed on the sheet are the beverage cans (2) with their cover (22) containing a closure which can be torn open. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung in der Form einer Palette aus Karton für Getränkedosen.The invention relates to packaging in the form of a pallet made of cardboard for beverage cans.

Verpackungen der vorgenannten Art sind bekannt. Auf den Boden der Palette werden die Getränkedosen mit ihrem Boden, also mit der einen aufzureißenden Verschluß aufweisenden Decke auf der dem Boden der Palette abgewandten Seite, gestellt. Die gesamte Palette ist mit einer durchsichtigen Kunststoffolie umgeben.Packaging of the aforementioned type is known. The beverage cans are placed on the base of the pallet with their base, that is to say with the cover having a zip to be torn open, on the side facing away from the base of the pallet. The entire range is surrounded by a clear plastic film.

Aus Gründen des Umweltschutzes verzichten neuerdings einige Hersteller von in Dosen vertriebenen Getränken auf die Kunststoffolie. Das führt jedoch zu Problemen hinsichtlich der Hygiene. Die Getränkedosen können auf vielfache Weise verschmutzen, insbesondere auf der mit dem Verschluß versehenen Decke. Bei Ingebrauchnahme muß der in der Decke angeordnete Verschluß geöffnet werden. Vielfach wird ohne Verwendung eines Trinkgefäßes die Getränkedose mit dieser Seite - mit der Außenfläche der Decke - an den Mund geführt.For reasons of environmental protection, some manufacturers of canned drinks are now dispensing with the plastic film. However, this leads to hygiene problems. The beverage cans can get dirty in many ways, especially on the blanket provided with the closure. When put into use the lock located in the ceiling must be opened. Often, the beverage can with this side - with the outer surface of the ceiling - is brought to the mouth without using a drinking vessel.

Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verpackung der eingangs genannten Art für Getränkedosen so auszubilden, daß der durch den Wegfall der Folie gegebene Umweltschutz erhalten bleibt, die Getränkedosen aber hygienisch zweckmäßig verpackt sind. Gemäß der Neuerung wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß der Boden der Palette mit einem Bogen aus hygienischem Material, insbesondere Papier, ausgelegt ist, auf den die Getränkedosen mit ihrer einen aufzureißenden Verschluß enthaltenden Decke gestellt sind.The invention seeks to remedy this. The invention has for its object to provide a packaging of the type mentioned above for beverage cans so that the environmental protection given by the elimination of the film is preserved, but the beverage cans are appropriately packed hygienically. According to the innovation, this object is achieved in that the bottom of the pallet is designed with a sheet of hygienic material, in particular paper, on which the beverage cans are placed with their cover containing a tear-open closure.

Die Verpackung nach der Erfindung kann als "Getränkedosen-Drehverpackung" bezeichnet werden: Die Getränkedosen werden "verkehrtherum", nämlich nicht mit ihrem Boden, sondern mit ihrer Decke, die den aufzureißenden Verschluß enthält, auf das hygienische Papier gestellt. So bleiben die Getränkedosen jedenfalls in ihrem kritischen Bereich sauber. In der Handhabung tritt gegenüber den Verpackungen, bei denen die Getränkedosen mit ihrem Boden auf den Boden der Palette gestellt sind, keine Änderung ein.The packaging according to the invention can be referred to as "rotary beverage can packaging": the beverage cans are placed "upside down" on the hygienic paper, not with their base but with their cover, which contains the closure to be torn open. In this way, the beverage cans stay clean in their critical area. There is no change in handling compared to the packaging in which the beverage cans are placed with their bottoms on the bottom of the pallet.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird nachfolgend im einzelnen beschrieben. Die einzige Figur zeigt eine Seitenansicht einer Verpackung, bei der der zugewandte Rand teilweise entfernt ist.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is described in detail below. The single figure shows a side view of a package with the facing edge partially removed.

Die als Ausführungsbeispiel gewählte Palette besteht aus einem Verpackungskarton 1. Der Verpackungskarton 1 weist einen Boden 11 sowie einen umlaufenden Rand 12 auf. Die Palette stellt sich also dar als Unter- oder Behälterteil eines deckelfreien Kartons mit relativ niedrigem Rand.The pallet selected as an exemplary embodiment consists of a packaging box 1. The packaging box 1 has a bottom 11 and a peripheral edge 12. The pallet thus presents itself as the lower or container part of a lid-free box with a relatively low edge.

Der Boden 11 des Verpackungskartons 1 ist mit hygienischem Papier 3 ausgelegt. Das Papier 3 füllt den gesamten Boden 11 des Verpackungskartons 1 aus.The bottom 11 of the packaging box 1 is lined with hygienic paper 3. The paper 3 fills the entire bottom 11 of the packaging box 1.

Der Verpackungskarton 1 nimmt Getränkedosen 2 auf. Die Getränkedosen 2 weisen einen Boden 21 sowie eine Decke 22 auf, die mit einem nicht dargestellten, aufzureißenden Verschluß versehen ist. Im übrigen weisen die Getränkedosen 2 den üblichen hohlzylindrischen Mantel 23 zwischen dem Boden 21 und der Decke 22 auf.The packaging box 1 accommodates beverage cans 2. The beverage cans 2 have a bottom 21 and a ceiling 22, which is provided with a closure, not shown, to be torn open. Otherwise, the beverage cans 2 have the usual hollow cylindrical jacket 23 between the bottom 21 and the ceiling 22.
