Description

"Verpackung für schüttfähiqe Güter" "Packaging for bulk goods"
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung für schüttfähige Güter, wie Flüssigkeiten oder rieselfähige Feingranulate oder dgl., die aus einem inneren, das zu verpackende Gut aufnehmenden, mittels Blas¬ verfahren dünnwandig ausgebildeten Kunststoffhohlkörper mit vor¬ zugsweise im wesentlichen rechteckigem Querschnitt und aus einem den Kunststoffhohlkörper umgebenden, in der Verpackungslage am Kunststoffhohlkörper anliegenden boden- und deckelfreien Stütz¬ mantel, vorzugsweise mit einem oberen Auflagerand, besteht, wobei im Kunststoffhohlkörper vorzugsweise eine obere Auflageschulter zum Abstützen am Auflagerand des Stützmantels vorgesehen ist und wobei der Kunststoffhohlkörper wenigstens eine Einbuchtung mit Abstand zur Boden- und Schulterfläche aufweist und der Stützmantel mit wenigstens einer nach innen in die Einbuchtung umfaltbaren, als Fixierelement für den Stützmantel ausgebildeten laschenartigen Ausstanzung versehen ist.The invention relates to packaging for pourable goods, such as liquids or free-flowing fine granules or the like, which consists of an inner hollow plastic body which receives the goods to be packaged and which is thin-walled by means of a blowing method and preferably has a substantially rectangular cross section and a surrounding surrounding the hollow plastic body , in the packaging layer on the plastic hollow body, there is a bottom-free and cover-free support jacket, preferably with an upper support edge, wherein an upper support shoulder is preferably provided in the plastic hollow body for support on the support edge of the support jacket and the plastic hollow body has at least one indentation at a distance from the base. and has shoulder surface and the support jacket is provided with at least one tab-like punch-out which can be folded inwards into the indentation and is designed as a fixing element for the support jacket.
Eine solche Verpackung ist aus der DE-A-3921258 der Anmelderin bekannt. Bei dieser bekannten Verpackung kann der im Vergleich zu üblichen Kunststoffflaschen sehr dünnwandige Kunststoffhohlkörper mittels Blasverfahren aus verblasbarem Kunststoff hergestellt werden, wodurch der Kunststoffanteil der Verpackung sehr gering gehalten werden kann. Die Festigkeit und Standsicherheit wird vom Stützmantel bereitgestellt, während die Verbindung von Stützmantel und Kunststoffhohlkörper durch einen oberen Auflagerand der Um¬ hüllung, auf dem sich die Auf1ageschulter des Kunststoffhohlkör- pers abstützt, und durch in die Einbuchtung einfaltbare laschen¬ artige Ausstanzung gewährleistet ist.Such packaging is known from DE-A-3921258 by the applicant. In this known packaging, the hollow plastic body, which is very thin-walled in comparison to conventional plastic bottles, can be produced from blow-molded plastic by means of a blowing process, whereby the plastic portion of the packaging can be kept very low. The strength and stability are provided by the support jacket, while the connection between the support jacket and the hollow plastic body is provided by an upper support edge of the envelope on which the support shoulder of the hollow plastic body pers supports, and is guaranteed by foldable in the indentation tab-like punching.
Diese bekannte Verpackung ist aufgrund ihres geringen Kunststoff- und Kartonanteils umweltfreundlich und läßt sich durch ihre relativ einfache Zweiteilung nach dem Gebrauch (Zerlegen in Kunststoffhohlkörper und Stützmantel) vom Benutzer getrennt ent¬ sorgen, insbesondere kann der Stützmaπtel einem Altpapierrecycling zugeführt werden. Die bekannte Verpackung weist jedoch noch den Nachteil auf, daß die Fixierung der beiden Verpackuπgsteile, Kunststoffhohlkörper und Stützmantel, insbesondere wenn die Ver¬ packung voll gefüllt und damit schwer ist, noch nicht zufrieden¬ stellend ist. Die laschenartigen Ausstanzungen sind nur einseitig an dem Stützmantel angelenkt und weisen eine Stanzlinie in Längs¬ richtung der Stützhülle auf. Hierdurch besteht, insbesondere bei vorbekannten Verpackungen ohne die Laschen arretierende Rastele¬ mente, die Gefahr, daß die laschenartigen Ausstanzungen aufgrund der Materialrückstellkräfte wieder zurückklappen und beim Ergrei¬ fen der Verpackung dann der Kunststoffhohlkörper aus der Stütz- hülle herausrutscht. Darüber hinaus ist auch die Ausgestaltung der Griffmulden noch nicht optimal.This known packaging is environmentally friendly due to its low plastic and cardboard content and can be disposed of separately by the user due to its relatively simple division into two parts after use (disassembly into hollow plastic body and supporting jacket). In particular, the supporting material can be recycled. However, the known packaging still has the disadvantage that the fixation of the two packaging parts, the hollow plastic body and the supporting jacket, especially when the packaging is full and therefore heavy, is not yet satisfactory. The tab-like punchings are articulated on only one side on the support jacket and have a punched line in the longitudinal direction of the support sleeve. As a result, there is a risk, in particular in the case of previously known packagings without locking elements locking the tabs, that the tab-like punched-out portions fold back due to the material restoring forces and when the packaging is gripped, the hollow plastic body slips out of the support sleeve. In addition, the design of the recessed grips is still not optimal.
Aus der DE-A-932899 ist eine querschnittlich rechteckige bodeπ- und deckelfreie Kartonhülle als Verpackung für Glühbirnen bekannt. Diese Hülle weist in jeder ihrer Eckkanten jeweils zwei laschen¬ artig nach innen eingefaltete Ausstanzungen auf. Diese sind derart angeordnet, daß sie oben und unten an dem Glaskörper einer Glüh¬ birne anliegen, die in der Verpackung verpackt wird. Diese vorbe¬ kannte Verpackungshülse wirkt nicht mit einem weiteren Verpak- kungsteil zusammen, an dem sie zu arretieren wäre. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist die Schaffung einer Lösung, mit der die Handhabbarkeit einer gattungsgemäßen Verpackung, insbesondere die Verbindung von Kunststoffhohlkörper und Stützmantel, noch verbes¬ sert werden kann, wobei gleichzeitig der Kunststoff- und Karton¬ anteil an der Verpackung gering gehalten werden soll.From DE-A-932899 a cross-sectionally rectangular bodeπ- and lid-free cardboard casing is known as packaging for light bulbs. In each of its corner edges, this envelope has two punched-out punchings folded inwards. These are arranged in such a way that they rest on the glass body of a light bulb at the top and bottom, which is packed in the packaging. This previously known packaging sleeve does not interact with another packaging part on which it should be locked. The object of the invention is to provide a solution with which the handling of a generic packaging, in particular the connection between the hollow plastic body and the supporting jacket, can be improved, while at the same time keeping the plastic and cardboard portion of the packaging low.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Verpackung der eingangs bezeichneten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß in lediglich einer Eck¬ kante oder zwei gegenüberliegenden Eckkanten jeweils mindestens eine Einbuchtung ausgebildet ist, in die eine an zwei Seitenkanten am Stützmantel angelenkte und quer zur Eckkante geschnittene Lasche eingefaltet ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in a packaging of the type described at the outset in that at least one indentation is formed in only one corner edge or two opposite corner edges, into which a flap which is articulated on two side edges on the supporting jacket and is cut transversely to the corner edge is folded.
Mit dieser Ausbildung wird die Handhabbarkeit einer derartigen Verpackung wesentlich verbessert, ohne daß der Kunststoff- und Kartonanteil der Verpackung vergrößert wird, d. h. die Verpackung ist gleichzeitig umweltfreundlich. Bereits eine Einbuchtung in einer Eckkante des KunststoffhöhIkörpers mit darin eingefalteter laschenförmiger Ausstanzung ist für die Fixierung des Stützmantels am Kunststoffhohlkörper ausreichend. Dadurch, daß die laschenar¬ tige Einstanzung mit zwei Seitenkanten am Stützmantel angelenkt und quer zur Eckkante geschnitten ist, ist diese zweischenklig ausgebildet und ragt mit beiden henkeln an die Wandung der Ein¬ buchtung anliegend in diese ein. Die Gefahr des Wiederausklappens der laschenförmigen Ausstanzung aufgrund von Materialrückstell- kräften ist hierbei nicht mehr gegeben. Wenn an zwei gegenüber¬ liegenden Eckkanten Einbuchtungen ausgebildet sind, können diese gleichzeitig als Greifhilfe dienen.With this design, the handling of such packaging is significantly improved without increasing the plastic and cardboard content of the packaging, i. H. the packaging is also environmentally friendly. An indentation in a corner edge of the plastic hollow body with a tab-shaped punch-out folded in is sufficient for fixing the support jacket to the hollow plastic body. Because the tab-like stamping is articulated with two side edges on the support jacket and cut transversely to the corner edge, the latter is designed with two legs and projects with both handles against the wall of the indentation. There is no longer any danger of the flap-shaped punch-out being unfolded due to material restoring forces. If indentations are formed on two opposite corner edges, these can simultaneously serve as a gripping aid.
In Ausgestaltung sieht die Erfindung vor, daß der Kunststoffhohl- körper an zwei diagonal gegenüberliegenden Eckbereichen jeweils eine etwa quaderförmige Einbuchtung aufweist, der jeweils eine einfaltbare Lasche zugeordnet ist. Durch diese Ausgestaltung und Anordnung der Einbuchtungen mit den zugeordneten Laschen des Stützmantels wird dem Benutzer eine besonders bedienerfreundliche, an die Benutzerhand angepaßte Handhabe zur Verfügung gestellt. Gleichzeitig mit einer einwandfreien Arretierung des Stützmantels auf dem Kunststoffhohl örper" wird durch diese Einbuchtungen eine optimale Greifhilfe geschaffen. Für die Fixierung der Laschen haben sich quaderförmige Ausbuchtungen als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen.In an embodiment, the invention provides that the plastic hollow body in each case at two diagonally opposite corner areas has an approximately cuboid indentation, each of which is associated with a foldable tab. This configuration and arrangement of the indentations with the assigned tabs of the support jacket provide the user with a particularly user-friendly handle adapted to the user's hand. Simultaneously with a proper locking of the supporting jacket on the hollow plastic örper "optimum gripping aid provided by this indentations. For fixing tabs cuboid projections have proven to be particularly advantageous.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn in den einfaltbaren Laschen Handhabungsöffnungen ausgespart sind. Diese Ausgestaltung hat den Vorteil, daß zum späteren getrennten Entsorgen des Gebindes die Umhüllung leicht wieder abgestreift werden kann, in dem vorher auf einfache Weise die Laschen wieder aus den zugehörigen Einbuch¬ tungen herausgezogen werden können.It is particularly advantageous if there are recessed handling openings in the foldable tabs. This configuration has the advantage that the covering can be easily stripped off again for later separate disposal of the container, in which the tabs can be pulled out of the associated bookings in a simple manner beforehand.
Um eine noch sicherere Arretierung zwischen dem Kunststoffhohl- körper und dem umhüllenden Stützmantel zu erreichen, was insbe¬ sondere für größere Verpackungen bzw. Verpackungen mit schwerem Füllmaterial wünschenswert ist; sieht die Erfindung auch eine zu¬ sätzliche Arretierung zwischen Stützmantel und Kunststoffhohlkör¬ per vor, so daß in einer Eckkante des Kunststoffhohlkörpers zwei Einbuchtungen mit jeweils einer zugeordneten Lasche des Stützman¬ tels ausgebildet sind. Diese zusätzliche Arretierung hat den Vor¬ teil, daß ein Abschieben bzw. Ablösen des Stützmantels vom Kunst¬ stoffhohlkörper in beiden Richtungen verhindert werden kann, was insbesondere bei querschnittlich im wesentlichen dreieckförmiger Einbuchtung und Lasche hilfreich ist. Die Erfindung ist nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung beispielsweise näher erläutert. Diese zeigt inIn order to achieve an even more secure locking between the hollow plastic body and the enveloping support jacket, which is particularly desirable for larger packagings or packagings with heavy filling material; the invention also provides an additional locking device between the support jacket and the hollow plastic body, so that two indentations, each with an associated tab of the support jacket, are formed in a corner edge of the hollow plastic body. This additional locking has the advantage that pushing or detaching of the supporting jacket from the hollow plastic body can be prevented in both directions, which is particularly helpful in the case of an essentially triangular indentation and tab. The invention is explained below with reference to the drawing, for example. This shows in

Die allgemein mit 1 bezeichnete Verpackung besteht im dargestell¬ ten Bereich aus einem querschnittlich im wesentlichen quadra¬ tischen Kunststoffhohlkörper 2 und einer stützenden Umhüllung 3 aus Karton oder einem vergleichbaren Material.The packaging, generally designated 1, consists in the area shown of a cross-sectionally essentially square plastic hollow body 2 and a supporting wrapping 3 made of cardboard or a comparable material.
Die in Fig. 1 und 3 dargestellte Verpackung 1 ist an zwei gegen¬ überliegenden Eckbereichen des Kunststoffhohlkörpers 2 mit je ei¬ ner mit 4 bezeichneten Einbuchtung versehen, die in Fig. 1 ge¬ strichelt dargestellt und die im wesentlichen quaderförmig ausge¬ bildet ist. Diese Einbuchtungen 4 dienen als Griffmulden, in die Laschen 5 des Stützmantels 3 eingreifen. Dabei sind die Laschen 5 durch Ausstanzungen 6 bzw. gerillte Faltlinien 7 in den entspre¬ chenden Eckbereichen des Stützmantels 3 gebildet. Ferner weist jede Lasche 5 jeweils eine Handhabungsöffnung 8 auf, die entspre¬ chend ausgestanzt ist und das Herausziehen der Lasche 5 aus der jeweiligen Einbuchtung 4 erleichtert.The packaging 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 is provided on two opposite corner regions of the hollow plastic body 2, each with an indentation denoted by 4, which is shown in dashed lines in FIG. 1 and is essentially cuboid. These indentations 4 serve as recessed grips into which tabs 5 of the support jacket 3 engage. The tabs are 5 formed by punching 6 or grooved fold lines 7 in the corresponding corner areas of the support jacket 3. Furthermore, each tab 5 has a handling opening 8, which is punched out accordingly and makes it easier to pull the tab 5 out of the respective indentation 4.
Im oberen Bereich des Kunststoffhohlkörpers 2 sind ein Verschlu߬ deckel 9 sowie eine obere Auflageschulter 10 dargestellt, die sich in der Gebrauchsläge auf der freien Kante 11 des umgebenden Stützmantels 3 abstützt. Der Bodenbereich des Kunststoffhohlkör- pers 2 ist zur Erhöhung der Stabilität mehrfach gewölbt ausgebil¬ det, was durch das Bezugszeichen 12 angedeutet ist.In the upper area of the hollow plastic body 2, a closure cover 9 and an upper support shoulder 10 are shown, which in the position of use are supported on the free edge 11 of the surrounding support jacket 3. The bottom area of the hollow plastic body 2 is designed with multiple arches in order to increase the stability, which is indicated by the reference number 12.
Zur Verbesserung der Arretierung zwischen dem Kunststoffhohlkörper 2 und dem umhüllenden Stützmantel 3 ist im unteren Bereich des Hohlkörpers 2 eine weitere, jedoch kleinere quaderförmige Ein¬ buchtung 13 vorgesehen (Fig. 2), in die eine zugeordnete, teil¬ weise ausgestanzte Lasche 14 des Stützmantels 3 einfaltbar ist. Die Funktionsweise und Ausbildung dieser Arretierung 13, 14 ent¬ spricht der der Laschen 5 und Einbuchtungen 4, wobei auf die Ausstanzung 8 ggf. verzichtet werden kann.To improve the locking between the plastic hollow body 2 and the enveloping support jacket 3, a further, but smaller cuboid recess 13 is provided in the lower region of the hollow body 2 (FIG. 2), into which an associated, partially punched-out tab 14 of the support jacket is provided 3 is foldable. The functioning and design of this locking device 13, 14 corresponds to that of the tabs 5 and indentations 4, it being possible, if necessary, to dispense with the punching 8.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung der Griffmulden mit den entsprechend geformten Einbuchtungen 4 und zugeordneten Laschen 5 ist insgesamt eine besonders leichte Handhabung der Verpackung 1 möglich. Zum einen bilden die Griffmulden (Einbuchtungen 4, Laschen 5) für die Hand eines Benutzers geeignete Aufnahmen, um die Verpackung sicher handhaben zu können, zum anderen dienen sie als sichere Fixierung zwischen den beiden Verpackungsteilen 2, 3, wobei diese Fixierung durch die zusätzliche Arretierung 13, 14 noch verbessert werden kann. Durch die spezielle Ausgestaltung der Laschen 5 mit der Handhabungsöffnung 8 ist ein leichtes Wieder¬ trennen der beiden Verpackungsteile 2, 3 möglich, so daß der Be¬ nutzer dazu motiviert ist, beide Verpackungsteile getrennt zu entsorgen, insbesondere den Stützmantel 3 einem Altpapierrecycling zuzuführen.The inventive design of the recessed grips with the correspondingly shaped indentations 4 and associated tabs 5 makes it particularly easy to handle the packaging 1. On the one hand, the recessed grips (indentations 4, tabs 5) form receptacles suitable for the hand of a user in order to be able to handle the packaging safely, on the other hand they serve as a secure fixation between the two packaging parts 2, 3, this fixation being achieved by the additional locking 13, 14 can still be improved. Due to the special design of the Tabs 5 with the handling opening 8 enable the two packaging parts 2, 3 to be easily separated again, so that the user is motivated to dispose of both packaging parts separately, in particular to recycle the support jacket 3 to waste paper recycling.
Der Stützmantel 3 kann auch mehrlagig ausgebildet sein, wenn dies aus Stabilitätsgründen erforderlich ist.The support jacket 3 can also be formed in multiple layers if this is necessary for reasons of stability.
Außerdem kann die Arretierung 13, 14 auch für Verpackungen ohne Griffmulden (Einbuchtungen 4) vorgesehen sein und als alleiniges Arretierelement zwischen Innenbehälter 2 und Stützmantel 3 dienen, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt. Hierbei kann die Lasche auch dreieck- för ig ausgebildet sein, wie dies anhand der Lasche 14a in Fig. 6 dargestellt ist. Die Lasche 14a ist durch eine Stanzlinie 6 und zwei Rilllinien 7 im Stützmantel 3 begrenzt. Zweckmäßigerweise, aber nicht notwendigerweise, wirkt die Lasche 14a mit einer quer¬ schnittlich dreieckförmigen Einbuchtung 13a im Kunststoffhohl¬ körper 2 zusammen (Fig. 5). Gegebenenfalls können in einer Ver¬ packung 1 auch lediglich zwei Arretierungen 13, 14 oder 13a, 14a oder 13, 14a in einer Eckkante des Kunststoffhohlkörpers angeord¬ net sein, ohne daß Griffmulden (Einbuchtungen 4, Laschen 5) aus¬ gebildet sind. Die Laschen 5, 14 und 14a sind über Rilllinien 7, die ihre Seitenkanten bilden, an dem Stützmantel 3 angelenkt und weisen mindestens eine quer zur Eckkante geschnittene Ausstanzung oder Stanzlinie 6 auf. In addition, the locking device 13, 14 can also be provided for packaging without recessed grips (indentations 4) and can serve as the sole locking element between the inner container 2 and the support jacket 3, as shown in FIG. 2. Here, the tab can also be triangular, as shown with the tab 14a in FIG. 6. The tab 14a is delimited by a punching line 6 and two creasing lines 7 in the support jacket 3. Appropriately, but not necessarily, the tab 14a interacts with a cross-sectionally triangular indentation 13a in the hollow plastic body 2 (FIG. 5). If necessary, only two detents 13, 14 or 13a, 14a or 13, 14a can be arranged in a corner 1 of the plastic hollow body in a package 1, without recesses (indentations 4, tabs 5) being formed. The tabs 5, 14 and 14a are articulated to the support jacket 3 via creasing lines 7, which form their side edges, and have at least one punched or punched line 6 cut transversely to the corner edge.
