The half-shells have circumferential edges to which a non-pre-formed coatings are applied to form rim coatings that produces an inside and outside edge strip covering all rough transitions and cut edges of each cardboard hollow shell half, this rim coating forming a clean and decorative surface.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen dekorativen Papphohlkörper zum Füllen mit Präsenten, wie z.B. Ostereier, Herzen, Dosen, Fruchtnachbildungen u.ä., der außen und/oder innen mit Bildelementen verziert ist und aus zwei Schalenhälften mit gekrümmten Flächen besteht. Selbstverständlich kann jeweils auch nur eine Schalenhälfte zur offenen. Präsentation, insbesondere zu Ausstellungszwecken, der verwendeten Präsente zum Einsatz kommen.The invention relates to a decorative hollow cardboard body for filling with gifts, e.g. Easter eggs, hearts, cans, Fruit replica, etc., the outside and / or inside with Picture elements is decorated and with two shell halves curved surfaces. Of course, each can also only one shell half to the open. Presentation, especially to Exhibition purposes, the gifts used are used.

Solche dekorativen Papphohlkörper zum Füllen gibt es in vielen gestalterischen Variationen. Trotzdem reduzieren sie sich auf eine Grundform, die auch durch die Herstellungstechnologie bedingt ist. So bestehen die Papphohlkörper zum Füllen aus zwei gleich oder annähernd gleich dimensionierten Hälften, wobei die als Boden fungierende Hälfte mit einem Pappstreifen (Hals) auf der Innenseite zur Arretierung der oberen Hälfte (Deckel) versehen wird. Der Boden kann auch eine Abflachung zum besseren Stand erhalten. Auch der Deckel kann zusätzliche gestalterische Elemente gegenüber dem Boden aufweisen. Markant an den dekorativen Papphohlkörpern zum Füllen ist die jeweilige äußere Gestaltung. Diese wird außen durch Aufkaschieren von Drucken erreicht. Da die Kanten der Papphohlkörperhälften trotz nachträglichem Beschneiden nicht sauber abschließen, wird diese Kante mittels einer gleichzeitig als Verzierung wirkenden Papierborde verdeckt. Diese Papierborde verdeckt nunmehr die Kante an sich sowie jeweils einen ca. 1-2 cm breiten Bereich von der Kante weg auf der Innenseite und auf der Außenseite. Das Aufbringen dieser Papierborde ist zeit- und kostenaufwendige Handarbeit, die ca. 30-40% der gesamten für das Produkt benötigten Arbeitszeit (in Abhängigkeit von der Produktgröße) beansprucht.There are many such decorative cardboard hollow bodies for filling design variations. Nevertheless, they are reduced to one Basic form, which is also due to the manufacturing technology. The cardboard hollow bodies for filling consist of two identical or approximately equally sized halves, with the bottom acting half with a cardboard strip (neck) on the Provide inside for locking the upper half (lid) becomes. The floor can also be flattened for better standing receive. The lid can also have additional design elements facing the floor. Striking on the decorative Cardboard hollow bodies for filling is the respective outer design. This is achieved on the outside by laminating on prints. Since the Edges of the cardboard hollow body halves despite subsequent trimming does not finish properly, this will Edge by means of a decoration which also acts as an ornament Concealed paper shelves. These paper shelves now cover the edge as such as well as an approx. 1-2 cm wide area from the Edge away on the inside and on the outside. The Applying these paper shelves is time consuming and costly Handicraft that takes about 30-40% of the total for the product Working time (depending on the product size).

Der im Hauptanspruch angegebenen Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine dekorativen Papphohlkörper zum Füllen zu schaffen, bei dem die Aufbringung einer Papierborde an der Schnittkante der Schale und damit die kosten- und zeitaufwendige Handarbeit bei vollständigem Erhalt der Vielfalt der äußeren und inneren Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten entfällt.The invention specified in the main claim is the object to create a decorative cardboard hollow body for filling, in which the application of a paper shelf at the cutting edge of the Shell and thus the costly and time-consuming manual work complete preservation of the diversity of the outer and inner Design options are eliminated.

Dieses Problem wird mit den Maßnahmen des Hauptanspruchs gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.This problem is solved with the measures of the main claim. Further advantageous embodiments are in the subclaims specified.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend an einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform, einem Pappei, beschrieben. Zum besseren Verständnis werden folgende Begriffe erläutert:

Druckbogen
Papier- oder Pappbogen mit aufgedruckten Motiven
Ronde
ausgestanzte Pappscheiben, bestehend aus Druckbogen, Klebstoff, einseitig mit einem Innenmotiv bedruckter bzw. unbedruckter Karton
Schale
mittels Druck und speziellen Werkzeugen verformte Ronde, Schnittkante wird beim Umformvorgang nochmals beschnitten
Schale mit Beschichtungsrand
Schale, deren Schnittkanten zum Verputzen der unsauberen Stellen derselben und zum Verzieren des Pappeies in eine Beschichtungsmasse getaucht wurden.
An embodiment of the invention is described below using a preferred embodiment, a cardboard egg. The following terms are explained for better understanding:
Printed sheet
Sheets of paper or cardboard with printed motifs
Round blank
punched-out cardboard disks, consisting of printed sheets, adhesive, cardboard printed or unprinted on one side with an interior motif
Bowl
Round blank deformed by pressure and special tools, cutting edge is trimmed again during the forming process
Bowl with coating edge
Bowl, the cut edges of which were immersed in a coating compound for plastering the unclean spots thereof and for decorating the cardboard egg.

Zunächst werden Druckbogen und Karton in verschiedenen Grammaturen zusammenkaschiert. Da dieser Karton später die Innenseite des dekorativen Pappeies bilden wird, kann er (muß aber nicht) einseitig mit den zukünfigen Innenmotiven bedruckt eingesetzt werden. Danach erfolgt in einem zweiten Verfahrensschritt das Ausstanzen der Ronden entsprechend den verwendeten Motiven auf dem Druckbogen. Im nächsten Verfahrensschritt werden diese Ronden nun mittels spezieller Werkzeuge in Pressen zu Schalen, den zukünftigen Pappeihälften, umgeformt. Diese entstandenen Schalen werden an ihrer Kante beschnitten. Bis zu diesem Punkt wird die Herstellungstechnologie unverändert angewendet. Statt der üblicherweise in Handarbeit nun erfolgenden Aufbringung einer die Schnittkantenunregelmäßigkeiten verdeckenden Papierkante wird ein Beschichtungsrand auf der Innen- und Außenseite aufgebracht. Dazu wird jede Pappeihälfte mindestens einmal so in eine vorzugsweise flüssige Beschichtungsmasse getaucht, daß ein ca. 1-12 mm breiter Beschichtungsrand auf der Innen- und Außenseite aufgebracht wird, der alle Beschnittunregelmäßigkeiten überdeckt. Gleichwirkend sind selbstverständlich andere Aufbringungstechnologien für den Beschichtungsrand, wie z.B. Aufspritzen. Dieser Beschichtungsrand kann in einem Arbeitsschritt in seiner endgültigen farblichen und dekorativen Form aufgebracht werden. Durch Wiederholung der ursprünglichen Aufbringungstechnologie oder Einsatz einer anderen bekannten Aufbringungstechnologie kann aber auch der vorzugsweise noch feuchte Beschichtungsrand dekorativ weiter bearbeitet werden. So können z.B. Beflockungen oder Farbeffekte zusätzlich aufgebracht werden. In die als Boden verwendeten Pappeihälften wird der Hals (Pappstreifen) eingebracht. Die eventuell zum Einsatz kommende dekorative Zweitbeschichtung erfolgt dann auf der Außenseite und/oder Innenseite des Beschichtungsrandes.First, printed sheets and cardboard in different grammages laminated together. Since this box later the inside of the decorative cardboard, he can (but does not have to) printed on one side with the future interior motifs will. This is then carried out in a second process step Punch the blanks according to the motifs used on the Printed sheet. In the next process step, these blanks are now using special tools in presses to form bowls future cardboard halves, reshaped. The resulting bowls are trimmed at their edge. Up to this point the Manufacturing technology applied unchanged. Instead of the now usually done by hand Paper edge hiding cut edge irregularities becomes a Coating edge applied on the inside and outside. To each cardboard half is preferred at least once in this way liquid coating compound dipped to a width that is about 1-12 mm Coating edge is applied on the inside and outside, that covers all cropping irregularities. Are equivalent of course other application technologies for the Coating edge, e.g. Spraying. This coating edge can be in one step in its final color and decorative shape can be applied. By repeating the original application technology or use of another known application technology can also preferably still wet coating edge can be processed decoratively. For example, Additional flocking or color effects be applied. In the cardboard halves used as the bottom the neck (cardboard strip) is inserted. The possibly to The decorative second coating is then used on the Outside and / or inside of the coating edge.
