Definitions
- the present invention relates to a folding carton with side walls, a bottom and a lid, the bottom and lid consisting of folding elements which are integrally connected to the side walls.
- folding boxes are generally known.
- a folding carton with the features of claim 1 and in particular in that the carton is triangular in cross section and that the bottom and lid can be closed with a Velcro fastener.
- clothes hangers can be stacked on top of one another in this, so that they are on the one hand space-saving and on the other hand safely housed in the box. Due to the triangular shape, the space required for the packaging of hangers is minimized, since this cross-sectional shape of the carton corresponds to the outer contour of the hangers. In other words, the hangers are placed in the box so that the hook and the two outer ends of the hanger are each in a corner of the box. Due to the triangular shape, clothes hangers with slightly different shapes can also be accommodated in this folding box in a well-protected manner.
- the clothes hangers align themselves because of the triangular shape in the carton in such a way that the individual hangers nest their double T profiles into one another. This saves a large amount of space.
- the folding carton according to the invention can be quickly and easily unfolded or folded without time-consuming kinking or folding of the folding elements or any folding fasteners being necessary.
- the Velcro fastener ensures that the folding box according to the invention remains undamaged even after repeated use.
- the Velcro fastener provided according to the invention also serves to secure the bottom of the folding carton against unintentional opening. This last aspect is important insofar as the folding box filled with hangers can take on considerable weight.
- the folding carton according to the invention Due to the special shape and the damage-free resealability of the folding carton according to the invention, it can be reused many times before it has to be recycled. Basically, cardboard products are ecologically usable, ie they can be easily disposed of and recycled. However, cardboard boxes are not very suitable for reuse, since after one or two uses they lose their strength and shape and, in particular, can no longer be sealed satisfactorily.
- the folding carton according to the invention makes it possible to achieve a very substantial improvement in transport capacities, particularly in transregional transport.
- About 70,000 hangers can be loaded in a truck using conventional transport boxes, whereas 120,000 hangers can be transported with the folding box according to the invention. Since hangers are either sold as used goods after they have been used in sales or have to be returned to the hanger manufacturer for recycling, regional and especially national transport capacities play an important role.
- the Velcro fastener can have strips, and at least one strip of the Velcro fastener can be guided around an edge of a folding element and fastened on both sides thereof.
- there is an extremely resilient connection of the Velcro fastener to the folding element since the Velcro fastener is not torn off with frequent opening and closing, but the tensile forces are distributed over the front and rear of the folding element.
- the strip of the Velcro fastener can also be designed to run all the way round, for example by means of two slit-like ones Openings in the folding element is performed.
- At least one hook strip and at least one eyelet strip of the closed Velcro fastener can cross, preferably essentially at right angles.
- the Velcro fastener is only subjected to tensile forces in the "crossing area", so that the risk is minimized that the hook strip or the complementary eyelet strip detaches from the folding carton due to the tensile forces that occur.
- the box is closed, it is also ensured due to the crossing strips that the complementary parts of the Velcro fastener meet securely, even if the shape stability of the box should have already decreased somewhat after frequent use.
- a particularly stable closure results from the fact that two parallel strips are provided on a folding element and at least one complementary strip is attached to a further folding element, which in the closed state runs essentially at right angles to the first two strips.
- the folding carton according to the invention has a very good recyclability.
- the cartons are recycled, they are normally first softened in a bath, the water-soluble adhesive then being dissolved according to the invention and the Velcro fastener floating on top of it in the bath. So not only the cardboard material but also the Velcro can be recycled.
- the cross-sectional shape of the carton is an isosceles and right-angled triangle.
- this cross-sectional shape there is the possibility of storing two folding boxes so that their respective hypotenuse surfaces lie against one another.
- the overall shape is a cuboid with a square cross section, which has proven to be very advantageous for further transport of the filled folding cartons.
- more than twenty folding cartons designed in this way can be stacked in such a way that the entire space available in the lattice box is used.
- the lid and bottom can each have three folding elements, each of which is provided with a handle opening, the handle openings of the closed lid and the closed bottom being aligned.
- this embodiment results in a “three-layer” handle opening. If the folding box is approximately the height of a work station, it can be easily transported using the handle openings provided in the bottom and in the lid, without the folding box tearing out in the area of the handle openings.
- a side wall of the folding box has a continuous and vertically running folding line, the folding box can be folded flat after opening the lid and the bottom, which is very advantageous when the boxes are returned.
- At least one strip of the Velcro fastener is fastened on both sides of a folding element, two free ends of this strip are connected to one another in an opening in the folding element.
- the folding carton shown in these figures has three side walls 10, 12 and 14, the container wall 10 being glued to the container wall 14 via a folded strip 15 (FIG. 2).
- the side walls 10, 12 and 14 are dimensioned so that the cross section of the carton forms an isosceles and right-angled triangle.
- the lid of the folding box is formed by three folding elements 16, 18 and 20, which are each integrally connected to the side walls 10, 12 and 14.
- the bottom of the folding box is formed by three folding elements 22, 24 and 26, which have the same shape as the folding elements of the lid.
- a handle opening 28 (bottom) and 30 (lid) are provided in each of the folding elements of the lid and the bottom, the handle openings 28 when the lid is closed and the handle openings 30 when the lid is closed Align the floor with each other.
- a Velcro fastener is used to close the bottom and the lid, which is of the same design in the bottom and in the lid. Therefore, only the Velcro fastener on the cover is described below.
- the Velcro fastener arranged in the lid consists of a total of three strips 32, 34 and 36, the strips 32 and 34 being the same, but the strip 36 being complementary.
- strips 32 and 34 are designed as hook strips, whereas strip 36 is designed as eyelet strips.
- the arrangement can also be reversed.
- the two hook strips 32 and 34 are fastened to the folding element 20 and guided around an edge of the folding element 20 which is formed by the handle opening 28. On the side of the folding element 20 which is not visible in FIG. 1, the two strips 32 and 34 are also fastened.
- the eyelet strip 36 is fastened on the folding element 16 running parallel to the handle opening 28, whereas the two strips 32 and 34 run at right angles to the handle opening 28 of the folding element 20. This results in a strip arrangement with the lid closed, in which the eyelet strip 36 intersects at least substantially at right angles with the strips 32 and 34.
- a water-soluble adhesive is used to fasten strips 32, 34 and 36 for good recyclability.
- the folding carton To produce the folding carton according to the invention, only the folding strip 15 is glued to the inside of the side wall 10 and the Velcro strips of the lid and the bottom are attached to the folding elements. On that the folding box can be brought into the shape shown in Fig. 1 by closing the bottom. After the folding box has been filled with clothes hangers, the folding element 18 and then the folding element 20 are closed. Subsequently, the folding element 16 is folded over, so that its strip 36 comes to rest on the Velcro strips 32 and 34 of the folding element 20. As a result, the folding box is stably closed and can be easily transported by reaching into the grip openings 28 and 30.
- At least one strip of the Velcro fastener can be fastened on both sides of a folding element, two free ends of this strip being connected to one another in an opening in the folding element.
- This opening can be, for example, a square or rectangular punching out in the folding element. If an edge of this punched-out is formed parallel to an edge of the handle opening, the Velcro strip can be guided around the handle opening on the one hand and glued to both sides of the folding element. On the other hand, the still free ends of this strip can be glued together again in the punching. This forms a self-contained Velcro strip with a very high load capacity.
- this hook-and-loop fastener strip is designed to be sufficiently wide, no further ones are required on this folding element Stripes can be arranged. If the strip is not to be guided through the handle opening, two opposing punched-outs can also be provided in the folding element, the free ends of the strip then being glued to one another in one of the two punched-outs.
- Fig. 3 shows a trolley, which is U-shaped seen from the side and in which there are a total of thirteen folding boxes according to FIG. 1.
- the cartons can be stacked very advantageously and space-savingly in the transport trolley due to their triangular cross-sectional shape.
- the folding boxes are partially placed on top of one another with their hypotenuse surfaces, so that overall the shape of a cuboid is created.
- the cartons are put together with their catheter surfaces so that the trolley can be used well overall.
Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Faltkarton mit Seitenwänden, einem Boden und einem Deckel, wobei Boden und Deckel aus Klappelementen bestehen, die mit den Seitenwänden einstückig verbunden sind. Derartige Faltkartons sind allgemein bekannt.The present invention relates to a folding carton with side walls, a bottom and a lid, the bottom and lid consisting of folding elements which are integrally connected to the side walls. Such folding boxes are generally known.
In den Textilabteilungen von Kauf- und Warenhäusern besteht grundsätzlich das Problem, daß Kleiderbügel, auf denen die Ware zum Verkauf aufgehängt ist, nach Verkauf des entsprechenden Bekleidungsstückes wieder an ihren Herkunftsort zurückgeführt werden müssen. Zu diesem Zweck wurden bislang die nicht mehr benötigten Kleiderbügel wahllos in einen Behälter, beispielsweise einen Rollcontainer, gelegt und an ihren Herkunftsort zurückgeführt. Eine solche Vorgehensweise ist jedoch aufgrund der damit verbundenen hohen Transportkapazitäten unbefriedigend.In the textile departments of department stores and department stores there is basically the problem that hangers on which the goods are hung for sale must be returned to their place of origin after the corresponding item of clothing has been sold. For this purpose, the clothes hangers that are no longer required have been placed indiscriminately in a container, for example a roll container, and returned to their place of origin. However, such an approach is unsatisfactory due to the high transport capacities involved.
Es ist das der vorliegenden Erfindung zugrundeliegende Problem (Aufgabe), einen Behälter zu schaffen, der einen raum- und zeitsparenden Transport von Kleiderbügeln ermöglicht und dabei auch bei wiederholter Verwendung unbeschädigt bleibt.It is the problem (object) on which the present invention is based to create a container which enables space and time-saving transport of clothes hangers and remains undamaged even when used repeatedly.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt durch einen Faltkarton mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 und insbesondere dadurch, daß der Karton im Querschnitt gesehen dreieckig ist und daß Boden und Deckel mit einem Klettverschluß verschließbar sind.This object is achieved by a folding carton with the features of claim 1 and in particular in that the carton is triangular in cross section and that the bottom and lid can be closed with a Velcro fastener.
Durch die dreieckige Querschnittsform des erfindungsgemäßen Faltkartons lassen sich Kleiderbügel in diesem übereinanderstapeln, so daß sie einerseits platzsparend und andererseits sicher in dem Karton untergebracht sind. Aufgrund der Dreiecksform ist der für die Verpackung von Kleiderbügeln benötigte Raum minimiert, da diese Querschnittsform des Kartons der Außenkontur der Kleiderbügel entspricht. Mit anderen Worten werden die Kleiderbügel so in dem Karton abgelegt, daß der Haken und die beiden äußeren Enden des Bügels sich jeweils in einer Ecke des Kartons befinden. Hierbei können aufgrund der Dreiecksform auch Kleiderbügel mit etwas unterschiedlicher Formgebung in diesem Faltkarton gut geschützt untergebracht werden. Insbesondere bei Verwendung von Kleiderbügeln mit der Querschnittsform eines Doppel-T richten sich die Kleiderbügel aufgrund der Dreiecksform in dem Karton so aus, daß die einzelnen Bügel ihre Doppel-T-Profile ineinander "verschachteln. Hierdurch wird eine große Platzersparnis erzielt.Due to the triangular cross-sectional shape of the folding box according to the invention, clothes hangers can be stacked on top of one another in this, so that they are on the one hand space-saving and on the other hand safely housed in the box. Due to the triangular shape, the space required for the packaging of hangers is minimized, since this cross-sectional shape of the carton corresponds to the outer contour of the hangers. In other words, the hangers are placed in the box so that the hook and the two outer ends of the hanger are each in a corner of the box. Due to the triangular shape, clothes hangers with slightly different shapes can also be accommodated in this folding box in a well-protected manner. Particularly when using clothes hangers with the cross-sectional shape of a double T, the clothes hangers align themselves because of the triangular shape in the carton in such a way that the individual hangers nest their double T profiles into one another. This saves a large amount of space.
Da ferner Boden und Deckel mit einem Klettverschluß verschließbar sind, läßt sich der erfindungsgemäße Faltkarton schnell und einfach auf- bzw. zufalten, ohne daß hierbei ein zeitraubendes Knicken oder Falten der Klappelemente oder etwaige Faltverschlüsse erforderlich wären. Gleichzeitig ist durch den Klettverschluß gewährleistet, daß der erfindungsgemäße Faltkarton auch noch nach vielfacher Verwendung unbeschädigt bleibt. Schließlich dient der erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene Klettverschluß auch dazu, den Boden des Faltkartons gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Öffnen zu sichern. Dieser letzte Aspekt ist insofern von Bedeutung, als der mit Kleiderbügeln gefüllte Faltkarton ein beachtliches Gewicht annehmen kann.Furthermore, since the bottom and lid can be closed with a Velcro fastener, the folding carton according to the invention can be quickly and easily unfolded or folded without time-consuming kinking or folding of the folding elements or any folding fasteners being necessary. At the same time, the Velcro fastener ensures that the folding box according to the invention remains undamaged even after repeated use. Finally, the Velcro fastener provided according to the invention also serves to secure the bottom of the folding carton against unintentional opening. This last aspect is important insofar as the folding box filled with hangers can take on considerable weight.
Durch die besondere Formgebung und die beschädigungsfreie Wiederverschließbarkeit des erfindungsgemäßen Faltkartons läßt sich dieser vielfach wiederverwenden, bevor er einer Wiederverwertung zugeführt werden muß. Grundsätzlich sind Kartonerzeugnisse zwar ökologisch verwertbar, d.h. sie können problemlos entsorgt und einer Wiederverwertung zugeführt werden. Für eine Wiederverwendung sind Kartonagen jedoch nicht sehr geeignet, da diese nach ein- oder zweimaligem Einsatz ihre Festigkeit und Form verlieren und insbesondere nicht mehr zufriedenstellend verschlossen werden können.Due to the special shape and the damage-free resealability of the folding carton according to the invention, it can be reused many times before it has to be recycled. Basically, cardboard products are ecologically usable, ie they can be easily disposed of and recycled. However, cardboard boxes are not very suitable for reuse, since after one or two uses they lose their strength and shape and, in particular, can no longer be sealed satisfactorily.
Durch den erfindungsgemäßen Faltkarton läßt sich insbesondere im überregionalen Transport eine ganz wesentliche Verbesserung der Transportkapazitäten erzielen. So lassen sich unter Verwendung von herkömmlichen Transportboxen in einem LKW ca. 70.000 Bügel verladen, wohingegen mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Faltkarton 120.000 Bügel transportiert werden können. Da Kleiderbügel nach ihrem Einsatz im Verkauf entweder als Gebrauchtware veräußert werden oder an den Bügelhersteller für eine Wiederverwertung zurückgeführt werden müssen, spielen regionale und insbesondere überregionale Transportkapazitäten eine wichtige Rolle.The folding carton according to the invention makes it possible to achieve a very substantial improvement in transport capacities, particularly in transregional transport. About 70,000 hangers can be loaded in a truck using conventional transport boxes, whereas 120,000 hangers can be transported with the folding box according to the invention. Since hangers are either sold as used goods after they have been used in sales or have to be returned to the hanger manufacturer for recycling, regional and especially national transport capacities play an important role.
Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen, der Beschreibung und den Zeichnungen beschrieben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the subclaims, the description and the drawings.
So kann der Klettverschluß nach einer ersten vorteilhaften Ausführungsform Streifen aufweisen, und zumindest ein Streifen des Klettverschlusses kann um eine Kante eines Klappelementes geführt und an dessen beiden Seiten befestigt sein. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ergibt sich eine außerordentlich belastbare Verbindung des Klettverschlusses an dem Klappelement, da der Klettverschluß bei häufigem Öffnen und Schließen nicht abgerissen wird, sondern sich die Zugkräfte auf die Vorder- und Rückseite des Klappelementes verteilen. Bei besonders hohen Kräften kann auch der Streifen des Klettverschlusses Vollständig umlaufend gestaltet werden, indem dieser beispielsweise durch zwei schlitzartige Öffnungen in dem Klappelement geführt wird.According to a first advantageous embodiment, the Velcro fastener can have strips, and at least one strip of the Velcro fastener can be guided around an edge of a folding element and fastened on both sides thereof. In this embodiment, there is an extremely resilient connection of the Velcro fastener to the folding element, since the Velcro fastener is not torn off with frequent opening and closing, but the tensile forces are distributed over the front and rear of the folding element. In the case of particularly high forces, the strip of the Velcro fastener can also be designed to run all the way round, for example by means of two slit-like ones Openings in the folding element is performed.
Nach einer weiteren Ausbildung der Erfindung können sich zumindest ein Hakenstreifen und zumindest ein Ösenstreifen des geschlossenen Klettverschlusses, vorzugsweise im wesentlichen rechtwinklig, kreuzen. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ergibt sich einerseits eine gute Befestigung der jeweiligen Streifen an den Klappelementen. Andererseits wird der Klettverschluß beim Öffnen nur im "Kreuzungsbereich" Zugkräften ausgesetzt, so daß die Gefahr minimiert ist, daß sich der Hakenstreifen oder der dazu komplementäre Ösenstreifen durch die auftretenden Zugkräfte von dem Faltkarton ablöst. Beim Schließen des Kartons ist zudem aufgrund der sich kreuzenden Streifen sichergestellt, daß die komplementären Teile des Klettverschlusses sicher aufeinandertreffen, auch wenn sich die Formstabilität des Kartons nach häufiger Benutzung bereits etwas verringert haben sollte.According to a further embodiment of the invention, at least one hook strip and at least one eyelet strip of the closed Velcro fastener can cross, preferably essentially at right angles. In this embodiment, on the one hand, there is good attachment of the respective strips to the folding elements. On the other hand, the Velcro fastener is only subjected to tensile forces in the "crossing area", so that the risk is minimized that the hook strip or the complementary eyelet strip detaches from the folding carton due to the tensile forces that occur. When the box is closed, it is also ensured due to the crossing strips that the complementary parts of the Velcro fastener meet securely, even if the shape stability of the box should have already decreased somewhat after frequent use.
Ein besonders stabiler Verschluß ergibt sich dadurch, daß an einem Klappelement zwei parallel verlaufende Streifen vorgesehen sind und an einem weiteren Klappelement zumindest ein dazu komplementärer Streifen befestigt ist, der im geschlossenen Zustand im wesentlichen rechtwinklig zu den ersten beiden Streifen verläuft.A particularly stable closure results from the fact that two parallel strips are provided on a folding element and at least one complementary strip is attached to a further folding element, which in the closed state runs essentially at right angles to the first two strips.
Sofern der Klettverschluß mit einem wasserlöslichen Klebemittel an dem Faltkarton befestigt ist, ergibt sich eine sehr gute Recyclefähigkeit des erfindungsgemäßen Faltkartons. Bei einer Wiederverwertung der Kartons werden diese normalerweise zunächst in einem Bad aufgeweicht, wobei sich dann erfindungsgemäß das wasserlösliche Klebemittel löst und der Klettverschluß in dem Bad obenauf schwimmt. So können nicht nur das Kartonmaterial sondern auch der Klettverschluß einer Wiederverwertung zugeführt werden.If the Velcro fastener is attached to the folding carton with a water-soluble adhesive, the folding carton according to the invention has a very good recyclability. When the cartons are recycled, they are normally first softened in a bath, the water-soluble adhesive then being dissolved according to the invention and the Velcro fastener floating on top of it in the bath. So not only the cardboard material but also the Velcro can be recycled.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Querschnittsform des Kartons ein gleichschenkliges und rechtwinkliges Dreieck ist. Bei dieser Querschnittsform ergibt sich die Möglichkeit, zwei Faltkartons so aneinanderliegend zu lagern, daß deren jeweilige Hypotenusenflächen aneinander anliegen. Bei einer solchen Anordnung ergibt sich insgesamt die Form eines Quaders mit quadratischem Querschnitt, was sich für einen Weitertransport der gefüllten Faltkartons als sehr vorteilhaft erweist. So lassen sich beispielsweise in einer herkömmlichen Gitterrollbox mehr als zwanzig derartig ausgebildete Faltkartons so stapeln, daß der gesamte in der Gitterbox vorhandene Raum ausgenutzt wird.It is particularly advantageous if the cross-sectional shape of the carton is an isosceles and right-angled triangle. With this cross-sectional shape, there is the possibility of storing two folding boxes so that their respective hypotenuse surfaces lie against one another. With such an arrangement, the overall shape is a cuboid with a square cross section, which has proven to be very advantageous for further transport of the filled folding cartons. For example, in a conventional lattice roll box, more than twenty folding cartons designed in this way can be stacked in such a way that the entire space available in the lattice box is used.
Nach einer weiteren Ausbildung der Erfindung können Deckel und Boden jeweils drei Klappelemente aufweisen, die jeweils mit einer Grifföffnung versehen sind, wobei die Grifföffnungen des geschlossenen Deckels bzw. des geschlossenen Bodens fluchten. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ergibt sich im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen Faltkartons, welche die Grifföffnungen üblicherweise an den Seitenwänden aufweisen, eine "dreilagige" Grifföffnung. Wenn dabei der Faltkarton in etwa die Höhe eines Arbeitsplatzes aufweist, läßt sich dieser mit Hilfe der im Boden und in dem Deckel vorgesehenen Grifföffnungen leicht transportieren, ohne daß der Faltkarton im Bereich der Grifföffnungen ausreißt.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the lid and bottom can each have three folding elements, each of which is provided with a handle opening, the handle openings of the closed lid and the closed bottom being aligned. In contrast to conventional folding cartons, which usually have the handle openings on the side walls, this embodiment results in a “three-layer” handle opening. If the folding box is approximately the height of a work station, it can be easily transported using the handle openings provided in the bottom and in the lid, without the folding box tearing out in the area of the handle openings.
Sofern eine Seitenwand des Faltkartons eine durchgehende und vertikal verlaufende Faltlinie aufweist, läßt sich der Faltkarton nach Öffnen des Deckels und des Bodens flächig zusammenlegen, was bei einem Rücktransport der Kartons sehr vorteilhaft ist.If a side wall of the folding box has a continuous and vertically running folding line, the folding box can be folded flat after opening the lid and the bottom, which is very advantageous when the boxes are returned.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist zumindest ein Streifen des Klettverschlusses auf beiden Seiten eines Klappelementes befestigt, wobei zwei freie Enden dieses Streifens in einer Öffnung in dem Klappelement miteinander verbunden sind. Durch eine solche Ausführungsform wird eine höhere Belastbarkeit erzielt und bei einer entsprechend breiten Ausbildung des Streifens muß kein zusätzlicher, parallel verlaufender Streifen an diesem Klappelement angeordnet werden.According to a further advantageous embodiment, at least one strip of the Velcro fastener is fastened on both sides of a folding element, two free ends of this strip are connected to one another in an opening in the folding element. Such an embodiment achieves a higher load-bearing capacity and, given a correspondingly wide design of the strip, no additional, parallel strip has to be arranged on this folding element.

Der in diesen Figuren dargestellte Faltkarton weist drei Seitenwände 10, 12 und 14 auf, wobei die Behälterwand 10 mit der Behälterwand 14 über einen Falzstreifen 15 (Fig. 2) verklebt ist. Die Seitenwände 10, 12 und 14 sind dabei so dimensioniert, daß der Querschnitt des Kartons ein gleichschenkliges und rechtwinkliges Dreieck bildet.The folding carton shown in these figures has three
Der Deckel des Faltkartons ist durch drei Klappelemente 16, 18 und 20 gebildet, die jeweils mit den Seitenwänden 10, 12 und 14 einstückig verbunden sind. In gleicher Weise ist der Boden des Faltkartons durch drei Klappelemente 22, 24 und 26 gebildet, welche die gleiche Form wie die Klappelemente des Deckels aufweisen. In den Klappelementen des Deckels und des Bodens ist jeweils eine Grifföffnung 28 (Boden) und 30 (Deckel) vorgesehen, wobei die Grifföffnungen 28 bei geschlossenem Deckel und die Grifföffnungen 30 bei geschlossenem Boden miteinander fluchten.The lid of the folding box is formed by three
Zum Verschließen des Bodens und des Deckels dient jeweils ein Klettverschluß, der im Boden und im Deckel gleichartig ausgebildet ist. Deshalb wird nachfolgend nur der deckelseitige Klettverschluß beschrieben.A Velcro fastener is used to close the bottom and the lid, which is of the same design in the bottom and in the lid. Therefore, only the Velcro fastener on the cover is described below.
Der im Deckel angeordnete Klettverschluß besteht aus insgesamt drei Streifen 32, 34 und 36, wobei die Streifen 32 und 34 gleich sind, der Streifen 36 jedoch komplementär ausgebildet ist. Im vorliegenden Beispiel sind die Streifen 32 und 34 als Hakenstreifen ausgebildet, wohingegen der Streifen 36 als Ösenstreifen ausgebildet ist. Die Anordnung kann jedoch auch umgekehrt sein.The Velcro fastener arranged in the lid consists of a total of three
Die beiden Hakenstreifen 32 und 34 sind an dem Klappelement 20 befestigt und um eine Kante des Klappelementes 20 geführt, die durch die Grifföffnung 28 gebildet wird. Auf der in Fig. 1 nicht sichtbaren Seite des Klappelementes 20 sind die beiden Streifen 32 und 34 ebenfalls befestigt. Der Ösenstreifen 36 ist auf dem Klappelement 16 parallel zu der Grifföffnung 28 verlaufend befestigt, wohingegen die beiden Streifen 32 und 34 rechtwinklig zu der Grifföffnung 28 des Klappelementes 20 verlaufen. Hierdurch ergibt sich bei geschlossenem Deckel eine Streifenanordnung, bei der sich der Ösenstreifen 36 zumindest im wesentlichen rechtwinklig mit den Streifen 32 und 34 kreuzt.The two
Zur Befestigung der Streifen 32, 34 und 36 ist für eine gute Recyclefähigkeit ein wasserlösliches Klebemittel verwendet.A water-soluble adhesive is used to fasten
Zum Herstellen des erfindungsgemäßen Faltkartons wird lediglich der Falzstreifen 15 an der Innenseite der Seitenwand 10 festgeklebt und die Klettverschluß-Streifen des Deckels und des Bodens werden an den Klappelementen befestigt. Hierauf läßt sich der Faltkarton durch Schließen des Bodens in die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Form bringen. Nach Befüllen des Faltkartons mit Kleiderbügeln wird zunächst das Klappelement 18 und hierauf das Klappelement 20 geschlossen. Im Anschluß daran wird das Klappelement 16 umgeklappt, so daß dessen Streifen 36 auf den Klettverschluß-Streifen 32 und 34 des Klappelementes 20 zu liegen kommt. Hierdurch ist der Faltkarton stabil verschlossen und kann leicht transportiert werden, indem in die Grifföffnungen 28 und 30 gegriffen wird.To produce the folding carton according to the invention, only the
Nach Entleeren des Faltkartons müssen lediglich die Klettverschlüsse des Deckels und des Bodens geöffnet werden, woraufhin der Faltkarton trotz des verklebten Falzstreifens 15 in eine im wesentlichen flächige Form gebracht werden kann, indem dieser an einer vorgesehenen Faltlinie 38 (Fig. 2) gefaltet wird, die parallel zu den Außenwänden des aufgestellten Kartons, d.h. vertikal, verläuft.After the folding carton has been emptied, only the Velcro fasteners of the lid and the bottom have to be opened, whereupon the folding carton can be brought into an essentially flat shape despite the glued
Nach einer weiteren, nicht dargestellten Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann zumindest ein Streifen des Klettverschlusses auf beiden Seiten eines Klappelementes befestigt sein, wobei zwei freie Enden dieses Streifens in einer Öffnung in dem Klappelement miteinander verbunden sind. Diese Öffnung kann beispielsweise eine quadratische oder rechteckige Austanzung in dem Klappelement sein. Wenn eine Kante dieser Ausstanzung parallel zu einer Kante der Grifföffnung ausgebildet wird, läßt sich der Klettverschluß-Streifen einerseits um die Grifföffnung führen und auf beiden Seiten des Klappelementes festkleben. Andererseits können die noch freien Enden dieses Streifens in der Ausstanzung wieder miteinander verklebt werden. Hierdurch ist ein in sich geschlossener Klettverschluß-Streifen mit sehr hoher Belastbarkeit gebildet. Sofern dieser Klettverschluß-Streifen ausreichend breit ausgebildet wird, müssen an diesem Klappelement keine weiteren Streifen angeordnet werden. Sofern der Streifen nicht durch die Grifföffnung geführt werden soll, lassen sich auch zwei gegenüberliegende Ausstanzungen in dem Klappelement vorsehen, wobei die freien Enden des Streifens dann in einer der beiden Ausstanzungen miteinander verklebt werden.According to a further embodiment of the invention, not shown, at least one strip of the Velcro fastener can be fastened on both sides of a folding element, two free ends of this strip being connected to one another in an opening in the folding element. This opening can be, for example, a square or rectangular punching out in the folding element. If an edge of this punched-out is formed parallel to an edge of the handle opening, the Velcro strip can be guided around the handle opening on the one hand and glued to both sides of the folding element. On the other hand, the still free ends of this strip can be glued together again in the punching. This forms a self-contained Velcro strip with a very high load capacity. If this hook-and-loop fastener strip is designed to be sufficiently wide, no further ones are required on this folding element Stripes can be arranged. If the strip is not to be guided through the handle opening, two opposing punched-outs can also be provided in the folding element, the free ends of the strip then being glued to one another in one of the two punched-outs.
Fig. 3 zeigt einen Transportwagen, der von der Seite gesehen U-förmig ausgebildet ist und in dem sich insgesamt dreizehn Faltkartons gemäß Fig. 1 befinden. Wie gut zu erkennen ist, lassen sich die Kartons aufgrund ihrer dreieckigen Querschnittsform sehr vorteilhaft und platzsparend in dem Transportwagen stapeln. Hierbei werden die Faltkartons teilweise mit ihren Hypotenusenflächen aufeinandergelegt, so daß insgesamt die Form eines Quaders entsteht. Teilweise werden die Kartons mit ihren Kathetenflächen aneinandergelegt, so daß der Transportwagen insgesamt gut ausgenutzt werden kann.Fig. 3 shows a trolley, which is U-shaped seen from the side and in which there are a total of thirteen folding boxes according to FIG. 1. As can be clearly seen, the cartons can be stacked very advantageously and space-savingly in the transport trolley due to their triangular cross-sectional shape. In this case, the folding boxes are partially placed on top of one another with their hypotenuse surfaces, so that overall the shape of a cuboid is created. In some cases, the cartons are put together with their catheter surfaces so that the trolley can be used well overall.
