Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen faltbaren Verpackungsbehälter mit einer Bodenplatte sowie davon ausgehenden Quer- und Stirnwänden insbesondere für Lebensmittel wie Schokoladenriegel, Süßwaren od.dgl.The invention relates to a foldable packaging container with a base plate and transverse and end walls emanating therefrom, in particular for foods such as chocolate bars, confectionery or the like.

Im Zuge der Verminderung der Verpackungsmengen wird zunehmend versucht, die an sich bisher üblich gewesenen Kunststoff- und Folienbehältnisse durch solche aus reinem Papier- und Kartonstoff zu ersetzen, wobei man zur Minderung von Transportkapazitäten trachtet, der verpackenden Firma flache Zuschnitte zukommen zu lassen, welche diese dann in die endgültige Verpackungsform bringt und befüllt.In the course of reducing the amount of packaging, attempts are increasingly being made to replace the plastic and film containers which have hitherto been customary with those made of pure paper and cardboard, with the aim of reducing the transport capacities by sending the packaging company flat blanks, which these then brought into the final packaging form and filled.

In Kenntnis dieser Gegebenheiten hat sich der Erfinder das Ziel gesetzt, einen faltbaren Verpackungsbehälter der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, der sowohl den Anforderungen an gute Rezyklierbarkeit entspricht als auch kostengünstig ist und Verpackungsmaterial einzusparen hilft. Der Verpackungsbehälter soll umweltgerecht, einfach zu entsorgen und variabel in Gestaltung und Einsetzbarkeit sein.Knowing these circumstances, the inventor has set himself the goal of creating a foldable packaging container of the type mentioned at the outset, which both meets the requirements for good recyclability and is inexpensive and helps to save packaging material. The packaging container should be environmentally friendly, easy to dispose of and variable in design and usability.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe führt ein Verpackungsbehälter sowie ein für diesen vorgesehener Zuschnitt nach den unabhängigen Patentansprüchen; die Unteransprüche geben günstige weitere Ausführungsformen an.To solve this problem, a packaging container and a cut provided for this according to the independent patent claims; the subclaims indicate favorable further embodiments.

Erfindungsgemäß umfaßt der Verpackungsbehälter eine Bodenplatte sowie davon ausgehende, durch Biegelinien getrennte Quer- und Stirnwände aus einer Werkstoffbahn, insbesondere aus einem Papier- und Kartonblatt; die Quer- und Stirnwände des Verpackungsbehälter sind in einem Winkel zur Bodenplatte aufgefaltet, um einen sie umgebenden Rahmen für einen Aufnahmeraum zu bilden, wobei jeweils zwei Querwände benachbarter Verpackungsbehälter Teil der Werkstoffbahn und durch eine Knicklinie getrennt sind. Dank dieser Maßgabe entsteht eine Behälterform, welche an überdimensionierte Schokoladenriegel erinnert, da mehrere Einzelbehälter -- die gemeinsam aus einem einzigen Kartonblatt hergestellt sind --als Verpackungseinheit aneinanderhängen und zusammen befüllt sowie gehandhabt zu werden vermögen.According to the invention, the packaging container comprises a base plate and transverse and end walls made of a material web, particularly a paper and cardboard sheet, which are separated by bending lines. the transverse and end walls of the packaging container are at an angle to Bottom plate unfolded to form a surrounding frame for a receiving space, two transverse walls of adjacent packaging containers being part of the material web and separated by a crease line. This creates a container shape that is reminiscent of oversized chocolate bars, since several individual containers - which are made from a single sheet of cardboard - can be attached to one another as a packaging unit and filled and handled together.

Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist also der beschriebene Verpackungsbehälter als Einzelbehälter Teil einer riegelartig gestreckten Verpackungsschachtel, wobei die Einzelbehälter durch die Knicklinien der Werkstoffbahn voneinander getrennt sind und die benachbarten Querwände jeweils zweier Einzelbehälter um eine durch die Knicklinie gelegte konstruktive Scharnierachse relativ zueinander bewegt werden können. Dies wird dadurch ermöglicht, daß die benachbarten Querwandpaare jeweils einen Zwickelraum unterhalb der Knicklinie mit einem Öffnungswinkel begrenzen, der bevorzugt zwischen 5° und 30° liegt. Als besonders günstig hat sich ein derartiger Öffnungswinkel von 20° erwiesen.According to a further feature of the invention, the described packaging container as an individual container is part of a bar-like stretched packaging box, the individual containers being separated from one another by the fold lines of the material web and the adjacent transverse walls of two individual containers each being able to be moved relative to one another about a constructive hinge axis through the fold line . This is made possible by the fact that the adjacent transverse wall pairs each delimit a gusset space below the fold line with an opening angle which is preferably between 5 ° and 30 °. Such an opening angle of 20 ° has proven to be particularly favorable.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verpackungsschachtel aus mehreren aneinandergereihten und zusammenhängenden Einzelbehältern dieser Art erfüllt die vom Erfinder gesehene Aufgabe und ist in nahezu beliebiger Länge mit einem Zuschnitt herstellbar.The packaging box according to the invention comprising a plurality of individual containers of this type lined up and connected to one another fulfills the task seen by the inventor and can be produced in almost any length with a blank.

Infolge der zwischen den Querwänden der Einzelbehälter -- in fluchtender Gebrauchslage -- vorhandenen Zwickelräume können die erfindungsgemäßen Verpackungsschachteln unterschiedliche Gestalt annehmen, d.h. ihre Stirnwände können in gekrümmten Konturen ähnlich einem Raupenband einander zugeordnet werden.As a result of the gusset spaces present between the transverse walls of the individual containers - in the aligned position of use - the packaging boxes according to the invention can take different forms, ie their end walls can be assigned to one another in curved contours similar to a caterpillar belt.

Allerdings hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, die aus mehreren Einzelbehältern bestehenden Verpackungsschachtel als ebenen Steg zu befüllen, zu verschließen und zu transportieren.However, it has proven to be advantageous to fill, close and transport the packaging box, which consists of several individual containers, as a flat web.

Als Verschluß kann erfindungsgemäß eine gesonderte Deckelplatte eingesetzt werden, die ihrerseits aus einem Kartonzuschnitt hergestellt und mit Rand- oder Seitenlaschen zur Anbindung an die Verpackungsschachtel versehen ist.According to the invention, a separate cover plate can be used as a closure, which in turn is made from a cardboard blank and is provided with edge or side flaps for connection to the packaging box.

Jedoch ist es gleichermaßen möglich, an einer endwärtigen Querwand -- gegebenenfalls auch an beiden -- eine Deckelzunge vorzusehen, welche von dieser Querwand durch eine Prägelinie getrennt ist und um diese auf die Einzelbehälter gelegt werden kann. Da letztere -- in der bereits erwähnten Art von Schokoladenriegeln -- an den beschriebenen Knicklinien der Querwände voneinander getrennt werden können, hat es sich auch als günstig erwiesen, die Deckelzunge/n mit entsprechenden Perforationslinien auszustatten. Dadurch entsteht eine in Stufen beliebig verkürzbare Verpackungsschachtel länglicher Ausgestaltung.However, it is equally possible to provide a cover tongue on an end transverse wall - optionally also on both - which is separated from this transverse wall by an embossing line and can be placed around the individual containers. Since the latter - in the type of chocolate bars already mentioned - can be separated from one another at the described fold lines of the transverse walls, it has also proven to be advantageous to equip the cover tongue (s) with corresponding perforation lines. This creates an elongated packaging box that can be shortened in stages.

Da die erfindungsgemäße Verpackungsschachtel im Bereich jeder Knicklinie zwischen zwei benachbarten Querwänden umgeklappt werden kann, ist es auch möglich, die Reihe von Einzelbehältern beispielsweise in Längsmitte der Verpackungsschachtel in zwei Teilen aufeinanderzuklappen und so die Verschließlage zu erzeugen. Vor dem genannten Umklappen können gegebenenfalls die einzelnen Aufnahmeräume beispielsweise durch ein Kartonblatt -- oder auch eine Klarsichtfolie -- verschlossen und die beiden Teile dann im Bereich ihrer Oberkanten verbunden werden.Since the packaging box according to the invention can be folded over in the area of each folding line between two adjacent transverse walls, it is also possible to fold the row of individual containers onto one another in two parts, for example in the longitudinal center of the packaging box, and thus to produce the closed position. Before said folding, the individual receiving spaces can be closed, for example by a cardboard sheet - or a transparent film - and the two parts can then be connected in the area of their upper edges.

Von besonderer Bedeutung ist der erfindungsgemäße Vorschlag, eine derartige Verpackungsschachtel aus paarweise aufeinanderliegenden Einzelbehältern mit wenigstens einer abkragenden Haltelasche zu versehen, dank deren die gesamte Einheit problemlos an einem Verkaufsständer od.dgl. angebracht werden kann.Of particular importance is the proposal according to the invention to provide such a packaging box consisting of individual containers lying one on top of the other in pairs with at least one cantilevered holding tab, thanks to which the entire unit or the like can be easily placed on a sales stand. can be attached.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit der Anwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackungsschachtel ist der Einsatz einer -- ihrerseits ebenfalls aus Karton gefertigten -- Schutzhülse, die auf die Verpackungsschachtel aufgeschoben wird und es darüberhinaus ermöglicht, in beschriebener Weise paarweise aufeinanderliegende Einzelbehälter zusammezuhalten und zu schützen.Another possibility of using the packaging box according to the invention is the use of a protective sleeve, which in turn is also made of cardboard, which is pushed onto the packaging box and furthermore makes it possible to hold together and protect individual containers lying one on top of the other in the manner described.

Insgesamt entsteht ein variationsreich einsetzbares Behältnis aus gut entsorgbarem Werkstoff, welches einfach herzustellen, gewichtsarm zu transportieren und leicht in Gebrauchsstellung zu überführen ist. Im Vergleich zu anderen Verpackungsformen ergibt sich eine erstaunlich hohe Einsparung an Verpackungsmaterial.Overall, a container can be used that can be used in many different ways and is made of easily disposable material, which is easy to manufacture, easy to transport and easy to put into use. Compared to other forms of packaging, there is an astonishingly high saving in packaging material.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung liegen nicht nur die beschriebenen verschiedenen Formen der Verpackungsschachtel bzw. der aneinanderhängenden Einzelbehälter, sondern auch der dafür erforderliche Zuschnitt, für den gesondert Schutz begehrt wird. Dabei werden verschiedene Arten von Schwächungslinien wie Perforationen, Ritzung/Gegenritzung, Prägelinien od. dgl. eingesetzt, um die einzelnen Zuschnittfelder zu begrenzen.Within the scope of the invention lie not only the various forms of the packaging box or the individual containers attached to one another, but also the cut required for this, for which separate protection is sought. Different types of weakening lines such as perforations, scoring / counter-scoring, embossing lines or the like are used to limit the individual cutting fields.

Eine Verpackungsschachtel 10 aus Karton einer Dicke von etwa 0,5 mm -- beispielsweise für Konfekt -- weist nach Fig. 1 fünf in Linie verbundene Einzelbehälter 12 auf, deren jeder aus einer Bodenplatte 14, zwei Stirnwänden 16 sowie zwei diese verbindenden Querwänden 18 besteht. Die Querschnitte der Einzelbehälter 12 verjüngen sich -- sowohl parallel zur Längsachse A der Verpackungsschachtel 10 als auch quer dazu - - von den Wandoberkanten zur Bodenplatte 14 hin. Der Winkel w zwischen der Bodenplatte 14 und den Stirnwänden 16 bzw. Querwänden 18 mißt etwas mehr als 100°.A packaging box 10 made of cardboard with a thickness of approximately 0.5 mm - for example for confectionery - has five individual containers 12 connected in line according to FIG. 1, each of which consists of a base plate 14, two end walls 16 and two transverse walls 18 connecting them . The cross sections of the individual containers 12 taper - both parallel to the longitudinal axis A of the packaging box 10 and transversely thereto - from the upper wall edges to the base plate 14. The angle w between the base plate 14 and the end walls 16 or transverse walls 18 measures slightly more than 100 °.

Wie vor allem beim Zuschnitt 20 der Verpackungsschachtel 10 in Fig. 2 erkennbar, sind die jeweils benachbarten Querwände 18 zweier Einzelbehälter 12 durch eine Knicklinie 22 getrennt, welche eine Art von Scharnierachse zwischen den Einzelbehältern 12 bildet; diese können um die in Fig. 1, 2 mit B deutlich gemachte Scharnierachse gegeneinander geschwenkt werden. Im übrigen sind der besseren Übersicht halber die Oberkanten der äußeren Querwände 18e der Verpackungsschachtel 10 mit 19 bezeichnet, die Oberkanten der Stirnwände 16 mit 17.As can be seen above all in the cut 20 of the packaging box 10 in FIG. 2, the respectively adjacent transverse walls 18 of two individual containers 12 are separated by a folding line 22, which forms a type of hinge axis between the individual containers 12; these can be offset against each other about the hinge axis made clear with B in FIGS. 1, 2 be pivoted. For the sake of clarity, the upper edges of the outer transverse walls 18e of the packaging box 10 are designated by 19, and the upper edges of the end walls 16 by 17.

Die durch die Oberkanten 19 der äußeren Querwände 18 bestimmte Länge a des Zuschnittes 20 mißt 450 mm, seine Breite b hier 140 mm; diese ist gleichzeitig der Abstand der Oberkanten 17 der Stirnwände 16 voneinander. In einem Abstand e von je 25 mm zu den die Längsachse A querenden Oberkanten 19 und Knicklinien 22 verlaufen -- in jedem Feld der Zuschnittsbreite f von 90 mm für den Einzelbehälter 12 --zwei parallele Biegelinien 24, um welche die Querwände 18 zur Bodenplatte 14 hin aufstellbar sind. Parallel zur Längsachse A wird die Bodenplatte 14 von Biegelinien 26 begrenzt, die voneinander in einem Abstand h von etwa 90 mm angeordnet sind und an die nach außen hin die Stirnwände 16 der Höhe e anschließen.The length a of the blank 20 determined by the upper edges 19 of the outer transverse walls 18 measures 450 mm, its width b here 140 mm; this is also the distance between the upper edges 17 of the end walls 16 from one another. At a distance e of 25 mm each from the upper edges 19 and folding lines 22 crossing the longitudinal axis A - in each field of the cutting width f of 90 mm for the individual container 12 - two parallel bending lines 24, around which the transverse walls 18 to the base plate 14 can be set up. Parallel to the longitudinal axis A, the base plate 14 is delimited by bending lines 26, which are arranged at a distance h of approximately 90 mm from one another and to which the end walls 16 of height e connect to the outside.

Von den Schnittpunkten 28 der Biegelinien 26, 24 gehen -- zu den Biegelinien 24 der Querwände 18 in einem Winkel w --geneigte Klapplinien 30 aus, welche anderseits an der Oberkante 19 der äußeren Querwände 18 enden und diese von Klapplaschen 32 konstruktiv trennen. Zwischen den Klapplaschen 32 und den Stirnwänden 16 sind Trennlinien 34 eingeschnitten.From the intersection 28 of the bending lines 26, 24 - to the bending lines 24 of the transverse walls 18 at an angle w - inclined folding lines 30, which on the other hand end at the upper edge 19 of the outer transverse walls 18 and separate them structurally from folding tabs 32. Separation lines 34 are cut between the flap tabs 32 and the end walls 16.

In Fig. 3 ist die durch die Trennlinie 34 erzeugte sowie mit dem Ende der Oberkante 19 bzw. der Knicklinie 22 durch eine geschwungene Schnittkante 31 verbundene Schnittkante der Klapplasche 32 mit 33 bezeichnet. Während die Länge der im Winkel w zur Biegelinie 26 geneigten Seitenkanten 15 der Stirnwände 16 der Länge der ebenfalls geneigten Klapplinien 30 entspricht, ist die erwähnte seitliche Schnittkante 33 der Klapplasche 32 um ein Differenzmaß q kürzer (Fig. 2, links).In Fig. 3, the cutting edge generated by the dividing line 34 and connected to the end of the upper edge 19 or the folding line 22 by a curved cutting edge 31 of the folding tab 32 is designated 33. While the length of the side edges 15 of the end walls 16 inclined at an angle w to the bending line 26 corresponds to the length of the likewise inclined folding lines 30, the mentioned lateral cutting edge 33 of the folding flap 32 is shorter by a difference dimension q (FIG. 2, left).
