Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung für Gegenstände, bestehend aus zwei miteinander verbundenen Teilen, zwischen denen der Gegenstand angeordnet ist und wobei das eine Teil eine mit einer Aufnahmetasche zum Umschließen des Gegenstands versehene Kunststoffolie ist.The invention relates to a packaging for objects, consisting of two interconnected parts, between which the object is arranged and wherein one part is a plastic film provided with a receiving pocket for enclosing the object.

Derartige Verpackungen für Gegenstände zu deren Aufbewahrung, Lagerung, Transport und Präsentation, beispielsweise an Verkaufsständern in Form der sogenannten Blister, sind hinlänglich bekennt. Sie bestehen grundsätzlich aus zwei Teilen, zwischen denen der Gegenstand angeordnet ist. Bei dem einen Teil handalt es sich üblicherweise um einen Karton, welcher die Produktinformationen trägt und der die Rückwand der Verpackung bildet. Auf diesem ebenen Kartonzuschnitt ist dann eine durchsichtige Kunststoffolie befestigt, beispielsweise aufgeklebt. Zum Umschließen des zu verpackenden Gegenstandes ist diese Kunststoffolie entsprechend mit einer Aufnahmetasche versehen.Such packagings for objects for their storage, storage, transport and presentation, for example on sales stands in the form of so-called blisters, are well known. They basically consist of two parts, between which the object is arranged. One part is usually a box that carries the product information and that forms the back wall of the packaging. A transparent plastic film is then attached, for example glued, to this flat cardboard blank. To enclose the object to be packaged, this plastic film is accordingly provided with a receiving pocket.

Ein Nachteil bei diesen bekannten Verpackungen ist, daß komplizierte Gegenstände nicht gehalten werden können, beispielsweise Naßrasierapparate, sowie der dazugehörige Behälter und der dazugehörige Spender für die Rasierklingeneinheiten. Die Folge davon ist, daß die in der Verpackung enthaltenen Gegenstands nicht ihre Position beibehalten und somit innerhalb der Verpackung hin- und herwandern. Dies kann bei zusammengesetzten Gegenständen dazuführen, daß diese sich in ihre Einzelteile auflösen, so daß der erwünschte Präsentationscharakter gestört ist. Darüber hinaus klappern die Gegenstände unerwünscht stark in der Verpackung bei Bewagung.A disadvantage of this known packaging is that complicated objects, for example wet shavers, as well as the associated container and the associated dispenser for the razor blade units cannot be held. The consequence of this is that the items contained in the packaging do not maintain their position and thus move back and forth within the packaging. In the case of assembled objects, this can lead to them dissolving into their individual parts, so that the desired presentation character is disturbed. Furthermore the objects clatter undesirably strongly in the packaging when weighed.

Im Stand der Technik wurden bereits verschiedene Lösungen vorgeschlagen. Beispielsweise schlägt die DE-OS 37 00 688 vor, aus Zwei durchsichtigen Verpackungshälften eine Verpackung vorzusehen, wobei jede Hälfte Taschen in wesentlichen von der Gestalt des Produktes aufweist, die aus der Ebene der jeweiligen Restverpackungshälfte einstückig vorstehen. Es werden also halbschalenförmige Kunststoffolien gebildet, die an den Rändern miteinander verklebt werden und den zu verpackenden Gegenstand einschließen. Einerseits ist diese Verpackung bei der Herstellung aufwendig und somit teuer, andererseits gewährleistet sie nicht, daß sich insbesondere zusammengesetzte Gegenstände nicht in ihre Einzelteile auflösen. Weiterhin ist diese Verpackungsart hinsichtlich Transport, Lagerung und Display nachteilig.Various solutions have already been proposed in the prior art. For example, DE-OS 37 00 688 proposes to provide packaging from two transparent packaging halves, each half having pockets essentially of the shape of the product, which protrude in one piece from the level of the respective residual packaging half. Half-shell plastic foils are thus formed, which are glued together at the edges and enclose the object to be packaged. On the one hand, this packaging is complex and therefore expensive to manufacture, on the other hand it does not guarantee that, in particular, assembled objects will not dissolve into their individual parts. This type of packaging is also disadvantageous with regard to transport, storage and display.

Weiterhin ist in dem DE-GM 90 14 877 vorgeschlagen, daß eine Verpackung für Gegenstände aus zwei miteinander zu verbindenden Folien besteht, welche beide entsprechend der Form des Gegenstandes profiliert sind. Gemäß diesem Gebrauchsmuster werden in beiden Folien Vorsprünge und Ausnehmungen derart gebildet, daß die einzelnen Profilierungsbereiche der Kunststoffolien den Gegenstand an ganz bestimmten Stellen und in ganz bestimmten Positionen festhalten, was ein Verrutschen oder Vereinzeln des Gegenstands verhindert. Diese Lösung ist zwar hinsichtlich des Verrutschens und Vereinzelns vergleichsweise sicher, jedoch müssen beide Folien ausgeformt werden, was vergleichweise aufwendig und damit unwirtschaftlich ist. Weiterhin können für die Weiterverarbeitung der Verpackung nur bestimmte Maschinen herangezogen werden.Furthermore, it is proposed in DE-GM 90 14 877 that packaging for objects consists of two foils to be joined together, both of which are profiled according to the shape of the object. According to this utility model, projections and recesses are formed in both foils in such a way that the individual profiling areas of the plastic foils hold the object in very specific places and in specific positions, which prevents the object from slipping or being separated. Although this solution is comparatively safe with regard to slipping and separating, both foils have to be molded, which is comparatively complex and therefore uneconomical. Furthermore, only certain machines can be used for further processing of the packaging.

Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine verbesserte Verpackung zu schaffen, die einerseits von der Form her komplizierte Gegenstände einwandfrei und ohne Vereinzelung hält, andererseits mit wirtschaftlich geringem Aufwand herstellbar ist.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to create an improved packaging which, on the one hand, keeps complicated objects impeccably and without separation, and on the other hand can be produced at low cost.

Als technische Lösung wird mit der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, daß der erste Teil eine ebene, ungeformte kunststoffolie ist, und der zweite Teil eine mit einer genau der äußeren Oberflächenkontur des Verpackungsgutes entsprechenden Ausbauchung versehene Kunststoffolie ist.As a technical solution , the invention proposes that the first part is a flat, unshaped plastic film, and the second part is a plastic film provided with a bulge that corresponds exactly to the outer surface contour of the packaged goods.

Eine nach dieser technischen Lehre ausgebildete Verpackung hat den Vorteil, daß die darin enthaltenen Gegenstände sicher in ihren Positionen gehalten werden, ohne daß die Gefahr besteht, daß die Gegenstände innerhalb der Verpackung bei einer Bewegung verrutschen, oder daß zusammengesetzte Gagenstände sich in ihre Einzelteile auflösen. Dies gilt insbesondere für von der Form her komplizierte Gegenstände, wie Naßrasierapparate mit dem dazugehörigen Halter und einem Spender für die Rasierklingeneinheiten. Durch eine entsprechende Ausbauchung einer der beiden Kunststoffolien werden die Gegenstände nach allen Seiten hin sicher gehalten. Die Profilierung der Kunststoffolie muß dabei im. wesentlichen derart sein, daß die Profilierung exakt der Kontur der Oberfläche des Geganstandes entspricht. Weiterhin ist die Herstellung der Verpackung ohne großen Aufwand möglich, da eine der beiden Folien ein völlig unausgeformter Zuschnitt ist, so daß die Verpackung wirtschaftlich günstig hergestellt werden kann.A packaging designed according to this technical teaching has the advantage that the objects contained therein are held securely in their positions without the risk that the objects slip within the packaging during a movement or that assembled items stand dissolve into their individual parts. This applies in particular to objects of complicated shape, such as wet shavers with the associated holder and a dispenser for the razor blade units. The objects are held securely on all sides by a corresponding bulging of one of the two plastic films. The profiling of the plastic film must be. be essentially such that the profiling corresponds exactly to the contour of the surface of the object. Furthermore, the packaging can be produced without great effort, since one of the two foils is a completely undeformed blank, so that the packaging can be produced economically.

Der besondere Vorteil der Erfindung gegenüber den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Verpackungen besteht darin, daß auch komplizierte Gegenstände, die aus einer Vielzahl von Einzelteilen zusammengesetzt sind, ohne daß die Einzelteile aneinander unlösbar befestigt sind, nach dem Produktionsvorgang in ihrer Gebrauchsposition ineinandergesteckt verpackt werden, gelagert und über den gesamten Vertriebsweg bis in die Verkaufsstätten transportiert werden können. Der Anwender sieht in der Verpackung eine Kombination mehrere Gegenstände in ihrer Gebrauchsposition, wobei ein ordentlicher Eindruck durch die besondere Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung gewährleistet wird. Ein Verrutschen der Teile gegeneinander oder gar eine Demontage der Einzelteilkombination sind ausgeschlossen. Aufgrund des einfachen Aufbaus der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung kann diese in einem auch mit hoher Geschwindigkeit laufenden Produktionsprozeß verwendet werden, wobei gleichzeitig der beschriebene Vorteil der unverrutschbaren Einzelteilkombination in Gebrauchsposition erzielbar ist.The particular advantage of the invention compared to the packaging known from the prior art is that even complicated objects, which are composed of a large number of individual parts, without the individual parts being attached to one another in an undetachable manner, are packaged in their use position after the production process, can be stored and transported across the entire sales channel to the sales outlets. The user sees in the packaging a combination of several objects in their position of use, a proper impression being ensured by the special design of the packaging according to the invention. Slipping of the parts against each other or even disassembly of the individual part combination are excluded. Because of the simple structure of the packaging according to the invention, it can be used in a production process which is also running at high speed, while the described advantage of the non-slip component combination can be achieved in the use position.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird die Ausbauchung durch mehrere unterschiedlich ineinander übergehende Volumina gebildet. Bei insbesondere zusammengesetzten Gegenständen weisen diese in ihrem zur Verpackung vorgesehenen Aufschichtungszustand im Verbund eine sehr komplizierte Außenkontur auf, die durch mehrere unterschiedliche ineinander übergehende Volumina als Negativ in der auszubauchenden Folie nachgebildet wird.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the bulge is formed by a plurality of different merging Volumes formed. In particular in the case of composite objects, in their layered state intended for packaging, the composite has a very complicated outer contour, which is reproduced as a negative in the film to be bulged out by means of several different volumes which merge into one another.

Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung ist in den zweiten Teil ein am Rand vor der Verbindungskante umlaufender Absatz eingeformt. Durch diese Maßnahme entsteht zwischen den ebenen Flächen der beiden Kunststoffolien ein flacher Raum, durch welchen beispielsweise Herstellungstoleranzen oder Modellvariationen ausgeglichen werden können.According to a further advantageous development of the packaging according to the invention, a heel which is circumferential at the edge in front of the connecting edge is formed in the second part. This measure creates a flat space between the flat surfaces of the two plastic films, through which, for example, manufacturing tolerances or model variations can be compensated.

Schließlich wird in einer Weiterbildung der Verpackung vorgeschlagen, daß zusätzlich zwischen den beiden Kunststoffolien ein Karton oder dgl. angeordnet ist. Dieser Zusätzlicher Karton oder dgl. dient dabei der Aufnahme von Produktinformationen. Die beiden Kunststoffolien der Verpackung bestehen demgegenüber vorzugsweise aus durchsichtigem Kunststoff. Dies gilt insbesondere für diejenige Kunststoffolie, welche die vordere Abdeckung definiert. Die hintere Kunststoffolie, welche die Rückseite der Verpackung bildet, kann aber auch aus gefärbtem Kunststoff bestehen.Finally, it is proposed in a further development of the packaging that a box or the like is additionally arranged between the two plastic films. This additional box or the like is used to hold product information. In contrast, the two plastic films of the packaging preferably consist of transparent plastic. This applies in particular to the plastic film that defines the front cover. The rear plastic film, which forms the back of the packaging, can also consist of colored plastic.

Die Ausbauchung oder Profilierung der einen Kunststoffolie ist somit derart, daß auch ein komplizierter, beispielsweise zusammengesetzter Gegenstand in der Verpackungsanordnung von dieser Folie so abgedeckt wird, daß alle von in Verpackungslage oben oder den Seiten erreichbaren Oberflächen durch die Folie abgetastet werden.The bulging or profiling of the one plastic film is thus such that even a complicated, for example compound, object in the packaging arrangement is covered by this film in such a way that all surfaces accessible in the packaging position or on the sides are scanned by the film.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung für Gegenstände wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnungen beschrieben. Dabei zeigt:

a plan view of the packaging in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, both the handle of the razor and the stand of the holder are cut along the line III-III of FIG. 1 to clarify the illustration.

In den Zeichnungen ist eine Verpackung 1 Zur Aufbewahrung, Transport, Lagerung und Präsentation eines Gegenstandes 2 dargestellt. Bei diesem Gegenstand handelt es sich um einen Naßrasierapparat 3 mit einem dazugehörigen Halter 4, in den der Rasierapparat 3 eingehängt ist, sowie mit einem Spender 5 für Rasierklingeneinheiten für den Naßrasierapparat 3. Der kastenförmige Spender 5 ist dabei in eine schlitzartige Ausnehmung im Basisteil des Halters 4 hineingesteckt.A packaging 1 for storing, transporting, storing and presenting an object 2 is shown in the drawings. This object is a wet shaver 3 with an associated holder 4, in which the shaver 3 is suspended, and with a dispenser 5 for razor blade units for the wet shaver 3. The box-shaped dispenser 5 is in a slot-like recess in the base part of the holder 4 inserted.

Die Verpackung 1 besteht aus zwei Kunststoffolien 6, 6' aus durchsichtigem Material, welche aneinanderliegen und randseitig miteinander befestigt sind. Diese Befestigung kann beispielsweise durch Verkleben erfolgen. Wie Fig. 2 zeigt, bildet dabei die eine Kunststoffolie 6 die im wesentlichen ebene Rückwand der Verpackung 1, während die andere Kunststoffolie 6' bauchig ausgebildet ist und der Aufnahme des Gegenstandes 2 dient. Die hintere Kunststoffolie 6 ist dabei im wesentlichen vollkommen eben ausgebildet.The packaging 1 consists of two plastic films 6, 6 'made of transparent material, which lie against one another and are attached to one another at the edges. This attachment can be done for example by gluing. As shown in FIG. 2, one plastic film 6 forms the essentially flat rear wall of the packaging 1, while the other plastic film 6 'is bulged and serves to hold the object 2. The rear plastic film 6 is essentially completely flat.

Zwischen den beiden Kunststoffolien 6, 6' ist zusätzlich noch ein Karton 7 angeordnet, der eben an der hinteren Kunststoffolie 6 anliegt und der Aufnahme von Produktinformationen dient.Between the two plastic films 6, 6 'there is also a cardboard box 7, which just lies against the rear plastic film 6 and serves to hold product information.

Der Gegenstand 2 ist, wie ausgeführt, zwischen den beiden Kunststoffolien 6, 6' der Verpackung 1 gehalten. Um ein Verrutschen des Gegenstandes zu verhindern, ist dieser derart gehalten, daß er nach allen Seiten hin abgestützt ist. Zu diesem Zweck ist die Kunststoffolie 6 ein ungeformter, im wesentlichen ebener Zuschnitt. Die Kunststoffolie 6' hat eine Ausbauchung, welche im wesentlichen kongruent den Oberflächenkonturen, in Verpackungslage von oben und den Saiten gesehen, folgt. Die Teile werden dabei in wesentlichen klapperfrei und vor allem unverrückbar in ihren Positionen gehalten, wenn sie zwischen den an den Stellen 9 verklebten Folien eingebracht sind. Entsprechende Toleranzen oder Modellvariationen können mit einem im wesentlichen umlaufenden Absatz 8 in der Folie 6' ausgeglichen werden.The object 2 is, as stated, held between the two plastic films 6, 6 'of the packaging 1. In order to prevent the object from slipping, it is held in such a way that it is supported on all sides. For this purpose, the plastic film 6 is an unshaped, essentially flat blank. The plastic film 6 'has a bulge which essentially congruently follows the surface contours, seen from above in the packaging position and the strings. The parts are held in their positions essentially rattle-free and above all immovable when they are inserted between the foils glued at the points 9. Corresponding tolerances or model variations can be compensated for with an essentially circumferential paragraph 8 in the film 6 '.

Derart profilierte Kunststoffolien 6' lassen sich problemlos durch Tiefziehen herstellen.Plastic foils 6 'profiled in this way can easily be produced by deep drawing.
