Definitions

  • 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.
  • the packaging container should be environmentally friendly, easy to dispose of and variable in design and usability.
  • 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.
  • 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 .
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the packaging box which consists of several individual containers, as a flat web.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 °.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • the blank 20 is punched out of a cardboard sheet, which is not particularly shown here, and then the end walls 16 are folded out of the plane of the base plate around the bending lines 26 and the transverse walls 18, 18e about their bending lines 24, or the transverse walls 18 are folded over their fold lines 22 . Then the folding tabs 32 projecting from the lateral ends of the transverse walls 18 are brought around the folding lines 30 from the outside to the end walls 16 and glued to them. 1 with, for example, five receiving spaces 36 for packaging goods neglected in the drawing.
  • the packaging box 10 described can be inserted into a protective sleeve 38 which is adapted in cross section.
  • the latter is only indicated in FIG. 3, and its cover plate 39 spans those receiving spaces 36.
  • This cover plate 39 is adjoined on both sides by sleeve walls 40, which are connected by means of a sleeve base 41.
  • the packaging box 10 is inserted into the protective sleeve 38 in the direction of the longitudinal axis A, it being apparent in FIG. 4 that the individual containers 12 can be pivoted outside the protective sleeve 38 about the hinge axes B or the fold lines 22 against one another, to the stop of the Outer surfaces of the transverse walls 18 together. If the upper edges 17 of the end walls 16 lie in one plane, there are triangular gusset spaces 44 between the transverse walls 18 of the individual containers 12 below their fold line 22, the opening angle t of which measures approximately 20 °.
  • FIG. 5 it is indicated at the right end of the packaging box 10 that an unnecessary individual container 12a can be separated along the hinge axis B.
  • the upper edges of the end walls 16 and an outer transverse wall 18e are formed by fold lines 46, 48, around which wall flaps 50, 52 of the end and transverse walls 16 and 18 can be pivoted. These are then connected to a hinged cover or a cover tongue 54, for example by adhesive, which is fixed to an end transverse wall 18f and is separated from it by an embossing line 56. Perforation lines 58 parallel to the embossing line 56 and to one another can also be provided in the cover tongue 54, the distances n of which correspond to the distances of the folding lines 22 in the finished packaging box 10 or 10a.
  • the length al of the blank 20a between the free edge 53 of the wall bracket 52 with the embossing line 56 is - including the bracket width z of 10 mm - here 370 mm, the length a2 of the cover tongue 54 here 207 mm.
  • the width b1 of the blank 20a measures approximately 156 mm, the width b2 of the cover tongue 54 only 110 mm, but the distance n between its perforation line 58 is 52 mm.
  • the cantilever flap 60 here replaces the wall flap of an end transverse wall 18e and is separated from it by the fold line 48.
  • Two of the Individual containers 12 are folded around the imaginary hinge axis B to close the packaging box 10b, if necessary after the application of a stretched transparent film 64, as indicated on the right in FIG. 10.
  • the packaging box 10 can be glued over with a cover plate 66, which is subdivided by perforation lines 58 into a plurality of part covers 67, each of which covers a single container 12.
  • This cover plate 66 overlaps in the cover position with end flaps 68, 69 the upper regions of the end and transverse walls 16, 18.
