Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Schau-Verkaufsverpackung der in der Einleitung zu Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Art.The present invention relates to a show sales packaging of the type specified in the introduction to claim 1.

Eine Verpackung dieser Art ist Gegenstand der DE-B-1 170 865. Diese dient der Verpackung von beispielsweise Weihnachtskugeln und besteht aus einer aus aufeinander gelegten oder miteinander verbundenen, mit Vertiefungen zur Bildung von Aufnahmeräumen für das Verpackungsgut versehenen Folien gebildeten Folienhalterung, für die im Abstand von einer ihrer Seiten eine die Halterung tragende und mit ihr verbundene Kartonabdeckung vorgesehen ist.A packaging of this type is the subject of DE-B-1 170 865. This is used for packaging Christmas balls, for example, and consists of a film holder formed from one another or connected to one another and provided with recesses to form receiving spaces for the packaged goods, for which in the Distance from one of its sides is provided a cardboard cover carrying the holder and connected to it.

Das moderne Marketing, insbesondere in Gestalt von Selbstbedienungsläden, verlangt für die Kundenseite eine sowohl ansprechende als aufschlussreiche Zurschaustellung, wobei auch eine Berücksichtigung eines etwa vorliegenden typischen Aussehens bestimmter Produktarten kaufanregend wirken kann. Für die Anbieterseite besteht dagegen das Problem der Marketingskosten, wobei sowohl den vorliegenden oder zu erwartenden Kundenwünschen als auch der Unterscheidung gegenüber artentsprechenden Konkurrenzprodukten Rechnung getragen werden muss.Modern marketing, in particular in the form of self-service shops, requires an appealing and informative display for the customer side, whereby taking into account the typical appearance of certain types of products, for example, can also stimulate the purchase. For the provider, on the other hand, there is the problem of marketing costs, whereby both the existing or expected customer wishes and the distinction between corresponding competitive products must be taken into account.

Zweck der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Schau-Verkaufsverpackung vorzulegen, die allgemein für unterschiedliche Gegenstände, insbesondere jedoch für einheitliche Gegenstände, die zu Verkaufseinheiten gesammelt sind, anwendbar und dergestalt ausgebildet ist, dass sie in beiden Fällen eine gemeinsame und damit rationelle Lösung bietet. Ein typisches Beispiel für zu Verkaufseinheiten gesammelte Gegenstände ist der Verkauf von Eiern, die sehr oft kartonweise verlangt und angeboten werden, und die Erfindung sei damit im Folgenden auf der Grundlage von Schau-Verkaufsverpackungen für Eier näher erläutert.The purpose of the present invention is to present a display sales packaging which is generally applicable for different objects, but in particular for uniform objects which are collected into sales units, and is designed in such a way that it offers a common and therefore rational solution in both cases. A typical example of items collected in sales units is the sale of eggs, which are very often requested and offered in boxes, and the invention is thus explained in more detail below on the basis of show sales packaging for eggs.

Die erfindungsgemässe Schau-Verkaufsverpackung ist generell im Patentanspruch 1 angegeben. Sie besteht in der Schaffung einer Verkaufsverpackung, die aus zwei Teilen zusammensetzbar ist.The show sales packaging according to the invention is generally specified in claim 1. It consists in the creation of sales packaging that can be put together in two parts.

Die erstgenannte selbständige Verpackung dient der Aufnahme und dem Schutz der zu einer Verkaufseinheit gesammelten Anzahl Eier. Dank ihrer Wiedergabe der formtypischen Gestalt der verpackten Gegenstände, im vorliegenden Fall also der Eier, erweckt die Verpackung Aufmerksamkeit und wirkt bereits dadurch auf die Kunden kaufanregend.The first-mentioned independent packaging is used to hold and protect the number of eggs collected in a sales unit. Thanks to its representation of the shape typical of the packaged objects, in this case the eggs, the packaging attracts attention and is already effective thereby stimulating customers to buy.

Erfindungsgemäss wird die Verpackung durch eine selbständige Schaubildplatte, wie im kennzeichnenden Teil von Patentanspruch 1 angegeben, vervollständigt.According to the invention, the packaging is completed by an independent diagram plate, as indicated in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Für die Anbieterseite ergeben sich wesentliche Kostenvorteile dadurch, dass diese selbständige Verpackung in Massenherstellung hergestellt werden kann und trotzdem immer noch Gelegenheit für Individualität in Gestalt einer Ausbildung der selbständigen Schaubildplatte möglich ist.Significant cost advantages result for the supplier side because this independent packaging can be mass-produced and nevertheless there is still an opportunity for individuality in the form of a design of the independent diagram plate.

Dies bedeutet, dass eine Eierverpackungszentrale im Grossbetrieb gleichlaufend für alle Abnehmer Eier in eine umschliessende, selbständige Verpackung abfüllen kann, die einheitlich in Massenfabrikation herstellbar ist, um dann, gegebenenfalls unmittelbar anschliessend, die einzelne Verpackung mit einer per Abnehmer individuell gestalteten Schaubildplatte zu versehen, die dank ihrer Gestaltung, beispielsweise farblich, sowie hinsichtlich weiterer Aufschlüsse und eventueller Marketingsslogans jeweils den zu erwartenden oder bewusst provozierten Kundenwünschen entspricht. Zu den für die Verpackungszentrale erzielbaren Vorteilen gehört weiterhin, dass die Lagerhaltung dank der Anwendung einer die Eier umschliessenden, für alle Abnehmer gleichen Einheitsverpackung vereinfacht und damit verbilligt werden kann, dass die Anwendung einer separaten, selbständigen Schaubildplatte erweiterte Möglichkeiten hinsichtlich der Individualisierung der einzelnen Kunden der Verpackungszentrale ermöglicht wird und dass sich erweiterte Möglichkeiten für die Anbringung von Informationen ergeben.This means that an egg packaging center in a large company can fill eggs for all customers in an encapsulating, independent packaging that can be mass-produced in order to then, if necessary immediately afterwards, provide the individual packaging with a graphical plate that is individually designed by the customer thanks to their design, for example in color, as well as with regard to further information and possible marketing slogans, each corresponds to the expected or deliberately provoked customer wishes. The advantages that can be achieved for the packaging center also include that the storage can be simplified and cheaper thanks to the use of a single packaging that encloses the eggs and is the same for all customers, and that the use of a separate, independent diagram plate expands the possibilities for individualizing the individual customers of the Packaging center is made possible and that there are expanded possibilities for the attachment of information.

Alle diese Möglichkeiten haben den Erfindungseffekt gemeinsam, dass durch die durch die Öffnung bzw. die Öffnungen hindurchragenden Teile der Schauseite der die Gegenstände, im vorliegenden Fall die Eier, umschliessenden, der Eiform entsprechenden, selbständigen Verpackung im Zusammenwirken mit der Aussenseite der Schaubildplatte ein dreidimensionaler Dekorationseffekt erzielt wird, der sich ebenfalls durch individuelle Gestaltungen, beispielsweise hinsichtlich einer Farbgebung, ausbauen lässt.All of these possibilities have the inventive effect in common that through the parts of the front side which protrude through the opening or the openings, the parts which surround the objects, in the present case the eggs, correspond to the egg shape. independent packaging in cooperation with the outside of the diagram plate, a three-dimensional decorative effect is achieved, which is also due to individual designs, for example with regard to a Coloring, can be expanded.

Damit verbindet die Erfindung die Möglichkeiten von produktionstechnischen Verbesserungen mit den Möglichkeiten einer ausbaufähigen Individualisierung.The invention thus combines the possibilities of improvements in production technology with the possibilities of expandable individualization.

Die Schau-Verkaufsverpackung ist erfindungsgemäss nicht daran gebunden, dass die Schaubildplatte eine der Anzahl der Gegenstände entsprechende, gleich grosse Anzahl von Öffnungen aufweist. Die Anzahl der Öffnungen kann auch geringer sein und der dreidimensionale Effekt dadurch variiert werden, dass die übrigen, Eier umschliessenden Verpackungsteile anderweitig überdeckt oder hervorgehoben werden.According to the invention, the display sales packaging is not tied to the fact that the display plate has an equally large number of openings corresponding to the number of objects. The number of openings can also be smaller and the three-dimensional effect can be varied by covering or emphasizing the other packaging parts surrounding eggs in a different way.

Weiterhin kann die Schaubildplatte deckungsgleich mit der Grundflächenform der den bzw. die Gegenstände umschliessenden, selbständigen Verpackung sein.Furthermore, the diagram plate can be congruent with the shape of the base area of the independent packaging enclosing the object or objects.

Ihre Grundflächengrösse kann indessen auch geringer als die Grundflächengrösse der die Gegenstände umschliessenden, selbständigen Verpackung sein. Deshalb lässt sich beispielsweise ein zusätzlicher Dekorationseffekt dadurch erzielen, dass die Schaubildplatte als ein Breitbandstreifen ausgebildet wird, der eine geringere Breite als ein Quermass der die Gegenstände umschliessenden selbständigen Verpackung aufweist. Beispielsweise können mehrere, eine selbständige Verpackung umschliessende Breitbandstreifen zu einem Kreuz vereint sein.However, their base area can also be smaller than the base area of the independent packaging surrounding the objects. For this reason, for example, an additional decorative effect can be achieved in that the diagram plate is designed as a broadband strip which has a smaller width than a transverse dimension of the independent packaging surrounding the objects. For example, several broadband strips enclosing independent packaging can be combined to form a cross.

Die Befestigung der Schaubildplatte mit der die Gegenstände umschliessenden, selbständigen Verpackung kann auf verschiedene Weise erfolgen. Sie kann, entweder allein oder in Kombination mit anderen Befestigungs- bzw. Verankerungsmöglichkeiten durch Klebe- oder Verklammerungsmassnahmen im Bereich der die durchragenden Teile des die Gegenstände umschliessenden, selbständigen Verpackungsteils erfolgen. Es ist ebenfalls möglich, die Schaubildplatte mit einem oder mehreren Aussenflanschen auszustatten, mit denen sie die die Gegenstände umschliessende, selbständige Verpackung aussen übergreifen kann. Auch hier können Klebe- und Eingriffsverbindungen Anwendung finden.
Andere Ausführungsbeispiele für die Verbindung einer Schaubildplatte mit der die Gegenstände umschliessenden, selbständigen Verpackung bestehen darin, diese Verpackung mit mindestens einer Stütze zu versehen, die auf der Schauseite dieser Verpackung aufragt, als Auflage für die Schaubildplatte dient und mit einer Klebefläche versehen ist, die beim Aufsetzen der Schaubildplatte mit der Unterseite derselben verklebt. Auch kann die Schaubildplatte mit von der Platte abwärts vorspringenden Verankerungsorganen ausgestattet sein, die beim Aufsetzen der Schaubildplatte mit zum die Gegenstände aufnehmenden Verpackungsteil gehörenden Kontraorganen, beispielsweise Schlitzen, eine Eingriffsverbindung eingehen.The diagram plate can be fastened with the independent packaging enclosing the objects in various ways. It can be done either alone or in combination with other fastening or anchoring options by means of adhesive or clamping measures in the area of the protruding parts of the independent packaging part enclosing the objects. It is it is also possible to equip the diagram plate with one or more outer flanges with which it can overlap the independent packaging surrounding the objects on the outside. Adhesive and engagement connections can also be used here.
Other exemplary embodiments for the connection of a diagram plate with the independent packaging enclosing the objects consist in providing this packaging with at least one support which protrudes on the front side of this packaging, serves as a support for the diagram plate and is provided with an adhesive surface which is used for Place the diagram plate glued to the underside of the same. The diagram plate can also be equipped with anchoring members projecting downward from the plate, which engage in an engagement connection when the diagram plate is placed with the contra-organs belonging to the article-receiving packaging part, for example slits.

Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch und in getrennter Darstellung ein Beispiel für den generellen Aufbau einer Schau-Verkaufsverpackung gemäss der vorliegenden Erfindung. Die Verpackung ist für den Verkauf von Eiern ausgebildet, die zu einer Verkaufseinheit, im vorliegenden Fall von sechs Eiern, geordnet und von der im unteren Bildteil gezeigten selbständigen Verpackung 10 umschlossen sind.Fig. 1 shows schematically and in a separate representation an example of the general structure of a show sales packaging according to the present invention. The packaging is designed for the sale of eggs, which are arranged in a sales unit, in the present case of six eggs, and are enclosed by the independent packaging 10 shown in the lower part of the figure.

Die Verpackung 10 besteht aus einem Oberteil 12 und einem Unterteil 14, die als zwei selbständige, oder auch als zwei gelenkig miteinander verbundene Schalenteile ausgebildet sind. Von diesen Schalenteilen ist zuminest der einem Käufer zugewandte Oberteil 12 formtypisch der Gestalt des umschlossenen Gegenstandes, im vorliegenden Fall also Eiern, durch die Ausbildung von Schalentaschen 16 nachgebildet. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel gilt dies auch für den Unterteil 14.The package 10 consists of an upper part 12 and a lower part 14, which are designed as two independent, or as two hinged shell parts. Of these shell parts, at least the upper part 12 facing a buyer is modeled on the shape of the enclosed object, in the present case, therefore, eggs, by the formation of shell pockets 16. In the exemplary embodiment shown, this also applies to the lower part 14.

Zur Verpackung gehört weiterhin eine selbständige Schaubildplatte 18, die im gezeigten Beispiel eine der Anzahl von Schalentaschen 16 entsprechende Anzahl von Öffnungen 20 aufweist. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Schaubildplatte 18 im Wesentlichen deckungsgleich mit der Grundflächengrösse der selbständigen Verpackung 10.The packaging also includes an independent diagram plate 18, which in the example shown has a number of openings 20 corresponding to the number of shell pockets 16. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the diagram plate 18 is essentially congruent with the base area size of the independent packaging 10.

Die Grösse der Öffnungen 20 is so bemessen, dass die Schaubildplatte 18 den Schalentaschen 16 des Verpackungsoberteils 12 derart aufgesetzt werden kann, dass die Schalentaschen 16 zumindest mit einem Kopfteil 16a die Aussenseite der Schaubildplatte 18 überragen, wie in Figur 2 illustriert. Auf diese Weise entsteht ein dreidimensionaler Dekorationseffekt, der im vorliegenden Beispiel die Form eines - in Figur 2 gestrichelt angedeuteten - Eies 22 als massgebend herausstellt.The size of the openings 20 is dimensioned such that the diagram plate 18 can be placed on the shell pockets 16 of the upper packaging part 12 in such a way that the shell pockets 16 protrude beyond the outside of the diagram plate 18 with at least one head part 16a, as illustrated in FIG. 2. This creates a three-dimensional decorative effect, which in the present example shows the shape of an egg 22, indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 2, as decisive.

Für die Herstellung der Verpackung 10 bietet sich der Vorteil einer Massenfabrikation an, der auch von einer Vielzahl von Kunden einer Eierverpackungszentrale ohne Einbusse von Konkurrenzindividualitet angenommen werden kann. Trotzdem bestehen auch zahlreiche Möglichkeiten einer Individualisierung durch eine unterschiedliche Gestaltung der Schaubildplatte, beispielsweise hinsichtlich Farbgebung und Aufdrucken. Die Verpackungszentrale kann sich somit mit einer vereinfachten Lagerhaltung von die Gegenstände, d.h. die Eier, umschliessenden selbständigen Verpackungen begnügen, und braucht lediglich hinsichtlich der Schaubildplatten Abnehmerwünsche zu berücksichtigen.For the manufacture of the packaging 10, there is the advantage of mass production, which can also be accepted by a large number of customers of an egg packaging center without losing competitiveness. Nevertheless, there are also numerous possibilities for individualization through a different design of the diagram plate, for example with regard to coloring and printing. The packaging center can thus simplify the storage of the items, i.e. the eggs, enclosing independent packaging, and only needs to take into account customer wishes with regard to the diagram plates.

Die Verbindung einer Schaubildplatte 18 mit dem Verpackungsteil kann auf verschiedene Weisen erfolgen. Im Folgenden sind einige Ausführungsbeispiele aufgezeigt, die jedoch keineswegs erschöpfend sind.A diagram plate 18 can be connected to the packaging part in various ways. A few exemplary embodiments are shown below, but these are by no means exhaustive.

Figur 3 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel für eine Klebeverbindung für eine dem Oberteil 12 einer selbständigen Verpackung 10 aufgesetzte Schaubildplatte 18. Zu diesem Zweck weist die Verpackung 10 auf ihrer dem Käufer zugewandten Schauseite aufragende Stützen 22 auf, die um ein Stück entsprechend dem Schalentaschen-Kopfteil 16a niedriger als die Schalentaschen 16 sind. Der Kopf jeder Stütze weist eine Abflachung 24 auf, die als Stützfläche für die Schaubildplatte 18 dient und mittels eines Klebstoffs - wie schraffiert angedeutet - eine Verklebeverbindung mit der aufgesetzten Schaubildplatte 18 eingehen kann.FIG. 3 shows an exemplary embodiment of an adhesive connection for a diagram plate 18 placed on the upper part 12 of an independent packaging 10. For this purpose, the packaging 10 has uprights 22 on its front side facing the buyer, which are lower by a piece corresponding to the shell pocket head part 16a than the shell pockets are 16. The head of each support has a flattened portion 24, which serves as a support surface for the diagram plate 18 and, as indicated by hatching, can form an adhesive connection with the diagram plate 18 placed thereon by means of an adhesive.

Figur 4 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel für eine Eingriffsverbindung für eine dem Oberteil 12 einer selbständigen Verpackung 10 aufgesetzte Schaubildplatte 18. Zu diesem Zweck weist die Schaubildplatte 18 an einem oder mehreren Rändern von ihr abwärts ausragende, in Pfeilform ausgebildete Verankerungslaschen 26 auf, die beim Aufsetzen der Schaubildplatte auf die selbständige Verpackung, vgl. auch Figur 2, in Verankerungseingriff mit Schlitzen 28 kommen, welche in zum Oberteil 12 bzw. Unterteil 14 gehörenden Randflanschen 30 vorgesehen sind.FIG. 4 shows an exemplary embodiment for an engagement connection for an upper part 12 of an independent packaging 10 attached chart plate 18. For this purpose, the chart plate 18 has on one or more edges protruding from it, in the form of an arrow, anchoring tabs 26 which, when the chart plate is placed on the independent packaging, cf. also FIG. 2, come into anchoring engagement with slots 28, which are provided in edge flanges 30 belonging to the upper part 12 and lower part 14.

Die Befestigung einer aufgesetzten Schaubildplatte 18 an der selbständigen Verpackung 10 kann auch im Bereich der Ränder der in der Schaubildplatte 18 vorgesehenen Öffnungen 20 vorgenommen werden.An attached diagram plate 18 can also be attached to the independent packaging 10 in the region of the edges of the openings 20 provided in the diagram plate 18.

Figur 5 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel für eine derartige Befestigung. In diesem weisen zumindest einige der Öffnungen 20 eine Lasche 32 auf, die in die Öffnung 20 hineinragt. Dementsprechend ist die Schalentasche 16 des Oberteils 12 der selbständigen Verpackung 10 mit einer Ausnehmung 34 versehen, in die die Lasche 32 bei auf die Verpackung 10 aufgesetzter Stellung in Eingriff kommt. Auch andere Eingriffsverbindungen zwischen Öffnungsrand und Schalentasche 16 sind im Rahmen der Erfindung möglich. Ebenfalls sind Klebeverbindungen zwischen Öffnungsrand und Schalentasche 16 durchführbar.Figure 5 shows an embodiment for such a fastening. In this, at least some of the openings 20 have a tab 32 which projects into the opening 20. Accordingly, the shell pocket 16 of the upper part 12 of the independent packaging 10 is provided with a recess 34 into which the tab 32 engages when the packaging 10 is in the position. Other engagement connections between the opening edge and the shell pocket 16 are also possible within the scope of the invention. Adhesive connections between the opening edge and the shell pocket 16 can also be carried out.

Die Erfindung ist ebenfalls durchführbar in Verbindung mit einer selbständigen Schaubildplatte 18, die eine geringere Anzahl von Öffnungen als die Anzahl der von der selbständigen Verpackung 10 umschlossenen Gegenstände, d.h. der Eier, aufweist. Auf diese Weise lassen sich weitere dreidimensionale Effektvariationen erzielen, ohne der eingangs erläuterten Vorteile der Erfindung verlustig zu gehen.The invention is also feasible in connection with a self-contained diagram plate 18 which has a smaller number of openings than the number of objects enclosed by the self-contained packaging 10, i.e. the eggs. In this way, further three-dimensional effect variations can be achieved without losing the advantages of the invention explained at the beginning.

Innerhalb des Rahmens der Erfindung ist es ausserdem möglich, der Schaubildplatte 18 eine kleinere Grundflächengrösse als die des selbständigen Verpackungsteils 10 zu geben.It is also possible, within the scope of the invention, for the diagram plate 18 to have a smaller footprint than to give that of the independent packaging part 10.

Diese Variationen sind in den Ausführungsbeispielen gemäss Figur 6 bis 8 näher erläutert.These variations are explained in more detail in the exemplary embodiments according to FIGS. 6 to 8.

Figur 6 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel, das ebenfalls aus einer selbständigen Verpackung 10 - wie eingangs näher beschrieben - und aus einer Schaubildplatte 18a besteht, deren Grundflächengrösse kleiner als diejenige der Verpackung 10 ist, indem die Schaubildplatte als ein Breitbandstreifen 18a ausgebildet ist, der eine geringere Breite als ein Quermass der Verpackung 10 aufweist. Infolgedessen ragen lediglich die beiden mittleren Schalentaschen 16 durch Schaubildöffnungen 20 heraus, während die beiden seitwärts des Breitbandstreifens 18a gelegenen Schalentaschenpaare ausserhalb des Streifens 18a aufragen.FIG. 6 shows an exemplary embodiment which likewise consists of an independent packaging 10 - as described in more detail at the beginning - and of a diagram plate 18a, the base area of which is smaller than that of the packaging 10, in that the diagram plate is designed as a broadband strip 18a which has a smaller width as a transverse dimension of the package 10. As a result, only the two middle shell pockets 16 protrude through diagram openings 20, while the two pairs of shell pockets located to the side of the broadband strip 18a protrude outside the strip 18a.

Der Breitbandstreifen 18a ist an der Verpackung mittels am Streifen 18a angeformten Aussenflanschen 36 verankert, die den Randflansch 30 des Verpackungsteils 10 mit einem Kantflansch 36a untergreifen. Ein solcher Aussenflansch steht ebenfalls für Dekoration und Information zur Verfügung.The broadband strip 18a is anchored to the packaging by means of outer flanges 36 which are formed on the strip 18a and which engage under the edge flange 30 of the packaging part 10 with an edge flange 36a. Such an outer flange is also available for decoration and information.

Figur 7 zeigt eine Variante dieses Ausführungsbeispiels, indem zwei Breitbandstreifen 18a1 und 18a2 zu einem Kreuz vereint sind. Die Verankerung des Kreuzes mit dem Verpackungsteil 10 erfolgt wie in Verbindung mit Figur 6 beschrieben. Das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäss Figur 7 weist eine Anzahl von neun Schalentaschen 16 auf, von denen fünf den oben beschriebenen Schaueffekt durch Zusammenwirken mit den Breitbandöffnungen 20 zur Folge haben, während die an den Ecken der Verpackung angeordneten Schalentaschen 16 frei aufragen.FIG. 7 shows a variant of this exemplary embodiment in that two broadband strips 18a1 and 18a2 are combined to form a cross. The cross is anchored to the packaging part 10 as described in connection with FIG. 6. The exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 7 has a number of nine shell pockets 16, five of which result in the above-described viewing effect through interaction with the broadband openings 20, while the shell pockets 16 arranged at the corners of the packaging protrude freely.

Figur 8 zeigt eine weitere Variante, indem die Schaubildplatte 18a3 einen tieferen Niveauteil A und um eine obere Schalentasche 16 erhöht liegende Niveauteile B aufweist, die seitlich des Niveauteils A gelegene Schalentaschenpaare überdecken. Auch hier ist der Aussenflanschteil 36 mit dem Randflansch 30 der selbständigen Verpackung 10 mittels eines Kantflansches 36a verklammert.FIG. 8 shows a further variant in that the diagram plate 18a3 has a lower level part A and level parts B lying higher by an upper shell pocket 16, cover the pairs of shell pockets located on the side of level part A. Here, too, the outer flange part 36 is clamped to the edge flange 30 of the independent packaging 10 by means of an edge flange 36a.

Zusammenfassend sei auch für die in den Figuren 3 bis 5 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiele darauf hingewiesen, dass auch hier die Möglichkeiten einer Verklammerung der Schaubildplatte an dem Randflansch 30 der Verpackung unter Anwendung von einem Aussenflansch 36 vorliegen, der mit dem Oberteil 12 entweder verklebt oder eingriffsverbindbar befestigt werden, oder durch Anwendung eines Randflansches 36a, wie in Figur 6 bis 8 gezeigt, eine Halteverbindung mit der selbständigen Verpackung 10 eingehen kann.In summary, it should also be pointed out for the exemplary embodiments shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 that here, too, the possibilities of clipping the diagram plate to the edge flange 30 of the packaging are present using an outer flange 36, which is either glued to the upper part 12 or fastened so that it can be engaged , or by using an edge flange 36a, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, a holding connection can be made with the independent packaging 10.
