Beschreibung der AusführungsbeispieleDescription of the embodiments

Ein Packstoffzuschnitt 10 (Fig. 1) besteht aus einem länglichen, im wesentlichen rechteckigen Karton, der einseitig gestrichen und bedruckt ist. Dieser Packstoffzuschnitt 10 ist durch Umklappen an einer quer verlaufenden Faltlinie 11 in einen als Rückwand 12 dienenden Abschnitt und in eine Vorderwand 13 aufgeteilt, so daß die gestrichene und bedruckte Seite des Kartons immer nach außen weist. An der Rückwand 12 sind seitlich zwei Seitenlaschen 14 ausgebildet. Die Vorderwand 13 ist durch mehrere quer verlaufende Faltlinien 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 und 22 in Anschnitte unterteilt, die zu zwei Hohlwänden 24 und 25 gefaltet sind (Fig. 2, Fig. 3). Die eine an die Faltlinie 11 anschließende Hohlwand 24 hat zwei senkrecht von der Rückwand 12 abstehende Wandabschnitte 26 und 27 und einen zu dieser parallelen Wandabschnitt 28. Über ein Zwischenstück 30 ist die zweite Hohlwand 25 mit der ersten Hohlwand 24 an den Faltlinien 18 und 19 integral verbunden. Sie hat zwei zueinander schräg verlaufende Wandabschnitte 31 und 32 sowie einen diese verbindenden, zur Rückwand 12 parallel verlaufenden Wandabschnitt 33. Die zweite Hohlwand 25 hat einen vorzugsweise trapezförmigen Querschnitt. Über die Faltlinie 22 ist mit der zweiten Hohlwand 25 eine Lasche 34 verbunden, die auf der Rückwand 12 aufliegt und mit dieser flächig oder teilweise verklebt ist.
In den einander gegenüberliegenden Wandabschnitten 27 und 31 sind Durchbrüche 37 und 38 angeordnet. Diese setzen sich vorzugsweise in den angrenzenden, zur Rückwand 12 parallelen Wandabschnitten 28 und 33 fort. Durch die Durchbrüche 37 in der einen Hohlwand 24 ragen die Gewindeabschnitte 39 der Zündkerzen 40 in die Hohlwand 24.A packaging material blank 10 (FIG. 1) consists of an elongated, essentially rectangular cardboard which is coated and printed on one side. This packaging material blank 10 is divided by folding over a transverse folding line 11 into a section serving as a rear wall 12 and into a front wall 13, so that the coated and printed side of the carton always points outwards. Two side tabs 14 are formed laterally on the rear wall 12. The front wall 13 is divided into gates by a plurality of transverse folding lines 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22, which are folded into two hollow walls 24 and 25 (FIG. 2, FIG. 3). One of the hollow walls 24 adjoining the fold line 11 has two wall sections 26 and 27 projecting perpendicularly from the rear wall 12 and a wall section 28 parallel to the latter. Via an intermediate piece 30, the second hollow wall 25 is integral with the first hollow wall 24 at the fold lines 18 and 19 connected. It has two mutually inclined wall sections 31 and 32 and a wall section 33 connecting them and running parallel to the rear wall 12. The second hollow wall 25 has a preferably trapezoidal cross section. A flap 34 is connected to the second hollow wall 25 via the fold line 22, which flap rests on the rear wall 12 and is glued flat or partially to the latter.
Openings 37 and 38 are arranged in the mutually opposite wall sections 27 and 31. These preferably continue in the adjacent wall sections 28 and 33 parallel to the rear wall 12. The threaded sections 39 of the spark plugs 40 protrude into the hollow wall 24 through the openings 37 in the one hollow wall 24.

Der zur Rückwand 12 und zum Zwischenstück 30 senkrechte Wandabschnitt 27 der Hohlwand 24 bildet einen Sitz 41 für den an den Gewindeteil 39 anschließenden Dichtsitz 42 der Zündkerze 40. Die Durchbrüche 38 in der anderen Hohlwand 25 haben einen breiten Querschnitt in dem mit dem Zwischenstück 30 verbundenen, schrägen Wandabschnitt 31 zur Aufnahme, Lagesicherung und Führung des Isolators 43 der Zündkerze 40 und einen schmalen Querschnitt im zur Rückwand 12 parallelen Wandabschnitt 33. Der schmale Querschnitt entspricht der Dicke der Anschlußelektrode 44 der Zündkerze 40. Das Entnehmen der Zündkerze 40 aus der Verpackung erfolgt durch Herauskippen des Isolators 43 aus dem Durchbruch 38 des schrägen Wandabschnitts 31 und anschließendes Herausziehen des Gewindeabschnitts 39 der Zündkerze 40 aus dem Sitz 41 des Wandabschnitts 27. In der Lasche 34 und der Rückwand 12 sind je ein deckungsgleicher Durchbruch 36 angeordnet. Dieser zum Aufhängen dienende Durchbruch 36 hat die Form eines Kreises, eines Längsschlitzes oder vorzugsweise die Kombination von beiden.
Die wie vorhergehend beschriebene Verpackung ist an sich zum Aufnehmen und zum Vertrieb von Zündkerzen 40 geeignet. Um einen Diebstahlschutz zu gewährleisten, sind die Hohlwände 24 und 25 der Vorderwand 13 zusätzlich abgedeckt. Dazu findet ein Deckel 46 (Fig. 4) Verwendung, der die Vorderseiten der beiden Hohlwände 24 und 25, deren voneinander abgewandte Wandabschnitte 26 und 32 und die von der Rückwand 12 auf die Stirnseiten 47 der Hohlwände 24 und 25 umgefalteten Seitenlaschen 14 abdeckt. Der Deckel 46 hat angeformte Querlaschen 48 und Längslaschen 49, deren Innenflächen mit den voneinander abgewandten Wandabschnitten 26 und 32 der Hohlwände 24 und 25 sowie den Seitenlaschen 14 verklebt werden.
Um Art und Anzahl der verpackten Zündkerzen 40 zu erkennen, besitzt der Deckel 46 ein Sichtfenster 50, dessen Höhe H sich von der Faltlinie 17 der Hohlwand 24 bis zur Faltlinie 21 der Hohlwand 25 erstreckt. Zur einfacheren Entnahme der Zündkerzen 40 aus der Verpackung ist mindestens eine durch Perforation 51 begrenzte Aufreißlasche 52 in dem das Sichtfenster 50 in Höhe des Sitzes 41 der Zündkerzen 40 begrenzenden Abschnitts des Deckels 46 angeordnet. Vorteilhafterweise wird über dem Gewindeteil 39 jeder Zündkerze 40 eine Aufreißlasche 52 angeordnet, so daß einzelne Zündkerzen 40 aus der Verpackung entnommen werden können, ohne den Schutz der in der Verpackung verbliebenen Zündkerzen 40 zu beeinträchtigen. Weiterhin ist zur Kontrolle über der Elektrode 54 jeder Zündkerze 40 ein Fenster 55 angeordnet, dessen Umriß bevorzugt halbkreisförmig ausgebildet ist.
Anstatt des Deckels 46 kann als Diebstahlschutz auch eine Hülse 56 (Fig. 5) verwendet werden. Die Hülse 56, die im Unterschied zum Deckel 46 auch einen Bereich der Rückwand 12 abdeckt, ist mit der Verpackung durch die auf die Stirnseiten 47 der Hohlwände 24 und 25 umgeklappten und beleimten Seitenlaschen 14 fest verbunden. Wie beim Deckel 46 sind auch in der Hülse 56 ein Sichtfenster 57, durch Perforation 58 begrenzte Aufreißlaschen 59 und Fenster 60 ausgebildet. Durch die gleiche Ausbildung der o.g. Merkmale wird ein einheitliches Erscheinungsbild der mit dem Deckel 46 oder der Hülse 56 versehenen Verpackung (Fig. 6) erzielt.The wall section 27 of the hollow wall 24 perpendicular to the rear wall 12 and the intermediate piece 30 forms a seat 41 for the sealing seat 42 of the spark plug 40 adjoining the threaded part 39. The openings 38 in the other hollow wall 25 have a broad cross section in that connected to the intermediate piece 30 , inclined wall section 31 for receiving, securing the position and guiding the insulator 43 of the spark plug 40 and a narrow cross section in the wall section 33 parallel to the rear wall 12. The narrow cross section corresponds to the thickness of the connecting electrode 44 of the spark plug 40. The spark plug 40 is removed from the packaging by tilting the insulator 43 out of the opening 38 of the inclined wall section 31 and then pulling out the threaded section 39 of the spark plug 40 from the seat 41 of the wall section 27. A congruent opening 36 is arranged in the tab 34 and the rear wall 12. This suspension opening 36 has the shape of a circle, a longitudinal slot or preferably a combination of both.
The packaging as described above is in itself suitable for receiving and selling spark plugs 40. In order to ensure protection against theft, the hollow walls 24 and 25 of the front wall 13 are additionally covered. For this purpose, a cover 46 (FIG. 4) is used, which covers the front sides of the two hollow walls 24 and 25, their wall sections 26 and 32 facing away from one another and the side flaps 14 folded over from the rear wall 12 to the end faces 47 of the hollow walls 24 and 25. The cover 46 has integrally formed transverse straps 48 and longitudinal straps 49, the inner surfaces of which are glued to the wall sections 26 and 32 of the hollow walls 24 and 25 facing away from one another and the side straps 14.
In order to recognize the type and number of packaged spark plugs 40, the cover 46 has a viewing window 50, the height H of which extends from the fold line 17 of the hollow wall 24 to the fold line 21 of the hollow wall 25. For easier removal of the spark plugs 40 from the packaging, at least one tear-open tab 52, delimited by perforation 51, is arranged in the section of the cover 46 delimiting the viewing window 50 at the height of the seat 41 of the spark plugs 40. A pull tab 52 is advantageously arranged over the threaded part 39 of each spark plug 40, so that individual spark plugs 40 can be removed from the packaging without impairing the protection of the spark plugs 40 remaining in the packaging. Furthermore, a window 55 is arranged above the electrode 54 of each spark plug 40, the outline of which is preferably semicircular.
Instead of the cover 46, a sleeve 56 (FIG. 5) can also be used as theft protection. The sleeve 56, which, in contrast to the cover 46, also covers a region of the rear wall 12, is firmly connected to the packaging by the side flaps 14 which are folded over and glued to the end faces 47 of the hollow walls 24 and 25. As with the cover 46, a viewing window 57, tear-open tabs 59 and windows 60 delimited by perforation 58 are also formed in the sleeve 56. The same design of the above-mentioned features results in a uniform appearance of the packaging provided with the cover 46 or the sleeve 56 (FIG. 6).
