Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schachtel gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Schutzanspruchs 1. Insbesondere handelt es sich um eine Verpackung, die auch für elektrische Lampen geeignet ist.The invention relates to a box according to the preamble of claim 1. In particular, it is a packaging that is also suitable for electric lamps.

Im Handel werden zum Verpacken der weitverbreiteten Allgebrauchsglühlampen üblicherweise quaderförmige Faltschachteln verwendet. Diese Faltschachteln bestehen aus einem, einteiligen Kartonzuschnitt und besitzen vier Seitenwände, eine mit einer Einstecklasche ausgestattete Deckelklappe und eine ebenfalls mit einer Einstecklasche ausgerüsteten Bodenklappe. Außerdem weist diese Schachtel ein deckelseitiges und ein bodenseitiges Staubklappenpaar auf. Die Klappen eines jeden Staubklappenpaares sind dabei an einander gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden angeformt und überlappen sich im verschlossenen Zustand. Eine derartige Schachtel ist allerdings keine geeignete Verpackung für eine mit Kontaktstiften ausgestattete Lampe, da die Kontaktstifte den Deckel bzw. Boden dieser Schachtel durchbohren würden und diese Schachtel die Kontaktstifte nicht ausreichend vor Transportschäden schützt.In the trade, cuboid folding boxes are usually used for packaging the widely used general-purpose incandescent lamps. These folding boxes consist of a one-piece cardboard blank and have four side walls, a lid flap equipped with an insertion flap and a bottom flap also equipped with an insertion flap. In addition, this box has a lid-side and a bottom-side dust flap pair. The flaps of each pair of dust flaps are formed on opposite side walls and overlap in the closed state. However, such a box is not suitable packaging for a lamp equipped with contact pins, since the contact pins would pierce the lid or bottom of this box and this box does not adequately protect the contact pins from damage in transit.

Eine weitere, dem, Oberbegriff des Schutzanspruchs 1 entsprechende Schachtel ist beispielsweise in der DE 28 19 699 offenbart. Bei der in dieser Schrift beschriebenen Verpackung handelt es sich um eine quaderförmige, einteilige Faltschachtel zum Verpacken einer elektrischen Lampe. Sie besitzt vier Seitenwände, die eine Hülse mit offenen Stirnseiten bilden. Die stirnseitigen Verschlüsse der Faltschachtel sind vollkommen identisch und werden von vier Deckelklappen bzw. vier Bodenklappen geformt. Jede der vier Deckel- bzw. Bodenklappen ist über eine stirnseitige Faltkante an eine Seitenwand angeformt. Jeweils zwei einander gegenüberliegende Deckel- bzw. Bodenklappen besitzen die gleiche Gestalt und bilden ein Paar. Beide Klappen eines der Deckel- bzw. eines der Bodenklappenpaare weisen zwei zusätzliche Faltkanten auf, die schräg zur gemeinsamen Faltkante zwischen der betreffenden Klappe und der entsprechenden Seitenwand verlaufen. Dadurch besitzt dieses Deckel- bzw. Bodenklappenpaar in das Innere der Faltschachtel gerichtete Klappenteile, die die zu verpackende Lampe in der Schachtel fixieren. Das andere Deckel- bzw. Bodenklappenpaar verschließt die Deckel- bzw. Bodenöffnung der Faltschachtel. Diese Faltschachtel hat den Nachteil, daß sie vergleichsweise aufwendig herzustellen ist.Another box corresponding to the preamble of claim 1 is disclosed, for example, in DE 28 19 699. The packaging described in this document is a cuboid, one-piece folding box for packaging an electric lamp. It has four side walls that form a sleeve with open end faces. The end closures of the folding box are completely identical and are formed by four lid flaps or four bottom flaps. Each of the four lid and bottom flaps is molded onto a side wall by means of an end folding edge. Each two opposing lid and bottom flaps have the same shape and form a pair. Both flaps of one of the cover or one of the bottom flap pairs have two additional folding edges which run obliquely to the common folding edge between the flap in question and the corresponding side wall. As a result, this pair of lids and bottom flaps has flap parts which are directed into the interior of the folding box and fix the lamp to be packaged in the box. The other pair of lids or bottom flaps closes the lid or bottom opening of the folding box. This folding box has the disadvantage that it is comparatively complex to manufacture.

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Schachtel gemäß dem Obergriff des Schutzanspruchs 1 bereitzustellen, die bei minimalem Verpackungsmaterialaufwand die darin verpackte elektrische Lampe hinreichend vor Transportschäden schützt, und die außerdem nur einen geringen Fertigungsaufwand erfordert.It is the object of the invention to provide a box according to the preamble of protection claim 1, which protects the electric lamp packed therein sufficiently against transport damage with minimal expenditure on packaging material, and which also requires only a small production outlay.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Schutzanspruchs 1 gelöst. Besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1. Particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the subclaims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Schachtel besitzt vier Seitenwände, einen Boden und eine Öffnung, die mittels eines Deckels verschlossen wird, sowie zwei einander gegenüberliegende, in das Innere der Schachtel zurückgefaltete Staubklappen, deren freie Enden einen Schränkverschluß aufweisen. Diese Staubklappen schließen im verschränkten Zustand mit den Seitenwänden, an die sie angeformt sind, einen Winkel Kleiner als 90 Grad ein und bilden dabei einen die Schachtelöffnung überbrückenden Steg, der eine Lagefixierung der in der Schachtel verpackten elektrischen Lampe erlaubt. Die erfindungsgemäße Schachtel eignet sich besonders als Verpackung für eine mit Kontaktstiften ausgestattete Reflektorlampe. Die Lampe ist schräg, annähernd diagonal, mit dem Schachtelboden zugewandter Reflektoröffnung in der Schachtel angeordnet, so daß die beiden Kontaktstifte der Lampe in einer Ecke angeordnet sind, die von einer der Staubklappen, der an sie angeformten Seitenwand und einer dazu benachbarten Seitenwand gebildet wird. Im verschränkten Zustand formen die Staubklappen einen in das Schachtelinnere greifenden Steg, der den Lampensockel stützt und die Lampe auf diese Weise in ihrer diagonalen Lage innerhalb der Schachtel fixiert. Außerdem gewährleisten die ineinander verschränkten Staubklappen auf diese Weise einen Schutz der empfindlichen Kontaktstifte vor Transportschäden und es wird ferner vermieden, daß die Kontaktstifte der Lampe den Deckel der Schachtel durchstoßen. Die erfindungsgemäße Schachtel besteht vorteilhafterweise aus recyclingfähigem Material, wie zum Beispiel Karton oder Wellpappe. Sie ist bei den besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsformen als quaderförmige Faltschachtel, bestehend aus einem einteiligen Karton- oder Wellpappenzuschnitt, ausgebildet. Der Faserlauf des Kartons verläuft bei der erfindungsgemäßen Schachtel vorteilhafterweise parallel zur Schachtelhöhe, das heißt, vom Boden zum Deckel, wodurch die deckelseitigen Staubklappen eine besondere Stabilität erhalten. Bei einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel besteht der Dekkel aus einer Deckelklappe, an die über eine Faltkante eine Einstecklasche angeformt ist. Die Einstecklasche besitzt auf beiden Seiten, in Höhe der Faltkante, jeweils einen schräg zur Faltkante verlaufenden Einschnitt. Dadurch kann die Einstecklasche beim Verschließen der Deckelklappe hinter die deckelseitigen Staubklappen hinterrasten.The box according to the invention has four side walls, a bottom and an opening which is closed by means of a lid, and two opposing dust flaps folded back into the inside of the box, the free ends of which have a cupboard lock. When folded, these dust flaps enclose an angle of less than 90 degrees with the side walls to which they are formed, thereby forming a web bridging the box opening, which allows the electrical lamp packed in the box to be fixed in position. The box according to the invention is particularly suitable as packaging for a reflector lamp equipped with contact pins. The lamp is arranged obliquely, approximately diagonally, with the box bottom facing reflector opening in the box, so that the two contact pins of the lamp are arranged in a corner which is formed by one of the dust flaps, the side wall formed on it and an adjacent side wall. In the entangled state, the dust flaps form a web that reaches into the inside of the box, which supports the lamp base and in this way fixes the lamp in its diagonal position within the box. In addition, the interlocking dust flaps ensure that the sensitive contact pins are protected against transport damage, and it is also avoided that the contact pins of the lamp penetrate the lid of the box. The box according to the invention advantageously consists of recyclable material, such as cardboard or corrugated cardboard. In the particularly preferred embodiments, it is designed as a cuboid folding box consisting of a one-piece cardboard or corrugated cardboard blank. In the case of the box according to the invention, the grain of the carton advantageously runs parallel to the box height, that is to say from the bottom to the lid, as a result of which the lid-side dust flaps are given particular stability. In a preferred exemplary embodiment, the cover consists of a lid flap, to which an insertion flap is formed via a folded edge. The insertion flap has an incision at an angle to the folding edge on both sides, at the level of the folding edge. This allows the insert flap to snap behind the dust flaps on the lid when the lid flap is closed.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Figur 1 den Kartonzuschnitt der erfindungsgemäßen Schachtel nach einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel
  • Figur 2 einen Querschnitt durch die Schachtel gemäß Fig. 1 mit darin verpackter Reflektorlampe
The invention is explained below with reference to a preferred embodiment. Show it:
  • Figure 1 shows the cardboard blank of the box according to a preferred embodiment
  • 2 shows a cross section through the box according to FIG. 1 with the reflector lamp packed therein

Die erfindungsgemäße Schachtel gemäß eines besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels besteht aus Karton und ist als einteilige Faltschachtel ausgeführt. Figur 1 zeigt den Kartonzuschnitt dieser Faltschachtel. Sie besitzt vier untereinander zusammenhängende Seitenwände 1, 2, 3, 4 mit Faltkanten 12, 23, 34. An die Längskante der vierten Seitenwand 4 ist eine Klebelasche 5 angeformt, die zum Verkleben der vierten 4 mit der ersten Seitenwand 1 dient. Nach dem Verkleben mittels der Klebelasche 5 bilden die vier Seitenwände eine schlauchartige Hülse mit rechteckigem Querschnitt. Die offenen Stirnseiten dieser Hülse werden von einer Bodenklappe 6 und einer Deckelklappe 7 verschlossen. Die Deckelklappe 7 ist über eine Faltkante 27 an die obere stirnseitige Kante der zweiten Seitenwand 2 und die Bodenklappe 6 über eine Faltkante 46 an die untere stirnseitige Kante der vierten Seitenwand 4 angeformt. Sowohl die Boden- 6 als auch die Deckelklappe 7 sind jeweils mit einer Einstecklasche 6a bzw. 7a ausgestattet. Die deckelseitige Einstecklasche 7a besitzt auf beiden Seiten, auf Höhe der sie von der Deckelklappe 7 trennenden Faltkante, jeweils einen schräg zu dieser Faltkante verlaufenden Einschnitt 40.The box according to the invention according to a particularly preferred embodiment consists of cardboard and is designed as a one-piece folding box. Figure 1 shows the cardboard blank of this folding box. It has four interrelated side walls 1, 2, 3, 4 with folded edges 12, 23, 34. An adhesive flap 5 is formed on the longitudinal edge of the fourth side wall 4 and is used to glue the fourth 4 to the first side wall 1. After gluing by means of the adhesive tab 5, the four side walls form a tubular sleeve with a rectangular cross section. The open end faces of this sleeve are closed by a bottom flap 6 and a lid flap 7. The lid flap 7 is formed on the upper front edge of the second side wall 2 via a folded edge 27 and the bottom flap 6 is formed on the lower front edge of the fourth side wall 4 via a folded edge 46. Both the bottom flap 6 and the lid flap 7 are each equipped with an insertion flap 6a or 7a. The cover-side insertion flap 7a has on both sides, at the level of the folding edge separating it from the cover flap 7, an incision 40 which runs obliquely to this folding edge.

Der Schachtelboden weist ferner zwei einander gegenüberliegende und sich im verschlossenen Zustand überlappende Staubklappen 8, 9 auf. Diese Staubklappen 8, 9 sind jeweils über eine Faltkante 18 bzw. 39 an die dem Boden zugewandte Kante der Seitenwand 1 bzw. 3 angeformt und werden im verschlossenen Zustand (Figur 2) von der Bodenklappe 6 abgedeckt. Die Deckelseite der Faltschachtel besitzt ebenfalls zwei einander gegenüberliegende, im wesentlichen trapezförmige Staubklappen 10, 11, die jeweils über eine Faltkante 110 bzw. 311 an die den, Deckel zugewandte Kante der einander gegenüberliegenden Seitenwände 1 und 3 angeformt sind. Die freien Enden dieser Staubklappen 10, 11 sind mit aufeinander abgestimmten Zähnen 10a, 11 versehen, mittels derer diese Staubklappen 10, 11 beim Verschließen der Schachtel ineinander verschränkt werden. Die Länge beider Staubklappen 10, 11 ist geringfügig größer als der halbe Abstand der Seitenwände 1, 3. Sie 10, 11 bilden nach dem Verschließen einen die Schachtelöffnung überbrückenden Steg, der die in der Schachtel verpackte Lampe 20 abstützt. Die Gesamtlänge dieses Steges ist größer als der Abstand der Seitenwände 1, 3. Beim Verschließen der Deckelklappe 7 rastet die Einstecklasche 7a hinter die deckelseitigen Staubklappen 10, 11 ein, das heißt, die Staubklappen 10, 11 greifen in die Einschnitte 40 hinein.The box bottom also has two dust flaps 8, 9 lying opposite one another and overlapping in the closed state. These dust flaps 8, 9 are each formed via a folded edge 18 or 39 on the edge of the side wall 1 or 3 facing the floor and are covered by the bottom flap 6 in the closed state (FIG. 2). The lid side of the folding box also has two mutually opposite, essentially trapezoidal dust flaps 10, 11, which are each formed via a folding edge 110 or 311 on the edge of the opposing side walls 1 and 3 facing the lid. The free ends of these dust flaps 10, 11 are provided with teeth 10a, 11 which are matched to one another and by means of which these dust flaps 10, 11 are interlocked when the box is closed. The length of both dust flaps 10, 11 is slightly greater than half the distance between the side walls 1, 3. After closing, they 10, 11 form a web bridging the box opening, which supports the lamp 20 packed in the box. The total length of this web is greater than the distance between the side walls 1, 3. When the lid flap 7 is closed, the insertion tab 7a engages behind the lid-side dust flaps 10, 11, that is to say the dust flaps 10, 11 engage in the incisions 40.

Figur 2 zeigt die verschlossenen erfindungsgemäße Schachtel mit einer darin verpackten Reflektorlampe 20. Die Lampe bzw. die Lampenachse ist schräg, annähernd diagonal in der Faltschachtel ausgerichtet. Der Lampensockel bzw. der Reflektorhals 20a weist zum Deckel der Schachtel. Die deckelseitigen Staubklappen 10, 11 schließen im verschränkten Zustand mit den Seitenwänden 1, 3 einen Winkel Kleiner als 90 Grad ein und formen einen in die Schachtel greifenden und die Schachtelöffnung überbrückenden Steg, der den Lampensockel bzw. den Reflektorhals 20a stützt. Die Lampe 20 wird auf diese Weise in ihrer Schräglage stabilisiert. Die Kontaktstifte 21 sind dabei in einer Ecke angeordnet, die von der Staubklappe 11 und den Seitenwänden 3, 4 gebildet wird. Die Deckelklappe 7 deckt die Staubklappen 10, 11 nach dem Verschließen der Schachtel ab.FIG. 2 shows the closed box according to the invention with a reflector lamp 20 packed therein. The lamp or the lamp axis is oriented obliquely, approximately diagonally in the folding box. The lamp base or the reflector neck 20a faces the lid of the box. The lid-side dust flaps 10, 11 form an angle of less than 90 degrees with the side walls 1, 3 in the entangled state and form a web that reaches into the box and bridges the box opening and supports the lamp base or the reflector neck 20a. The lamp 20 is thus stabilized in its inclined position. The contact pins 21 are arranged in a corner, which is formed by the dust flap 11 and the side walls 3, 4. The lid flap 7 covers the dust flaps 10, 11 after closing the box.

Die Erfindung beschränkt sich nicht auf das oben näher erläuterte Ausführungsbeispiel. So können beispielsweise die Deckel- und/oder die Bodenklappe anstelle einer Einstecklasche auch einen Klebverschluß besitzen. Ferner muß die Schachtel nicht unbedingt aus einem einteiligen Kartonzuschnitt bestehen. Sie kann mehrteilig ausgeführt sein und beispielsweise auch aus Wellpappe gefertigt sein. Die Schachtelform kann ebenfalls variert werden. So kann die Schachtel beispielsweise eine zylindrische Gestalt mit sechs oder gar acht Seitenwände besitzen, deren Stirnseiten von einer Deckel- und einer Bodenklappe verschlossen werden. Die Deckelseite ist läßt sich auch hier mit ineinander verschränkbaren, an zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden angeformten Staubklappen ausstatten.The invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment explained in more detail above. For example, the lid and / or the bottom flap can also have an adhesive closure instead of an insertion flap. Furthermore, the box does not necessarily have to consist of a one-piece cardboard blank. It can be made in several parts and, for example, also be made from corrugated cardboard. The box shape can also be varied. For example, the box can have a cylindrical shape with six or even eight side walls, the end faces of which are closed by a lid and a bottom flap. The cover side can also be equipped with interlocking dust flaps formed on two opposite side walls.
