Description

Verpackung für Eier od. dgl . stossempf indl lche Gegenstände Packaging for eggs or the like shock-sensitive objects
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Veipackung für Eier od.dgl. stoßempfindliche Gegenstände, mit einem als Faserformteil ausgebildeten Unterteil und einem die im Unterteil stehenden Eier od.dgl übergreifenden Deckel.The invention relates to a packaging for eggs or the like. objects sensitive to impact, with a lower part designed as a fiber molded part and a cover which overlaps the eggs or the like standing in the lower part.
Bei Verpackungen für Eier besteht sowohl das Unterteil als auch das Oberteil normalerweise aus Gießpappe, wobei beide Teile zusammenhängend in einer entsprechenden Form hergestellt werden.In the case of packaging for eggs, both the lower part and the upper part are usually made of cast cardboard, the two parts being produced in a corresponding shape.
Derartige Verpackungen haben sich zwar als Schutzveipackung bewährt, doch ist eine Verbraucherinformation an diesen nur schwer anzubringen.Such packaging has proven itself as a protective packaging, but consumer information is difficult to attach to it.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrtinde, eine Veipackung der genannten Art so auszugestalten, daß den verpackten Eiern od.dgl. ein ausreichender Schutz gewährt wird, daß aber die Veipackung leicht bedruckt werden kann.The object of the invention is therefore to design a packaging of the type mentioned in such a way that the packed eggs or the like. adequate protection is provided, but the packaging can be easily printed.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Deckel aus einem flachliegenden Kartonzuschnitt aufgerichtet ist und am Unterteil wenigstens an einer Längsseite durch Rastverschlüsse festlegbar ist. Der Schutz der Eier od.dgl. geht dabei weitgehend vom Unterteil der Veφackung aus, während das Kartonoberteil zum zusätzlichen Schutz völlig ausreichend ist aber andererseits hervorragend bedruckbar ist und somit alle Verbraucherinformationen aufnehmen kann.This object is achieved in that the lid is erected from a flat cardboard blank and can be fixed on the lower part at least on one long side by snap closures. The protection of the eggs or the like. is largely based on the lower part of the packaging, while the upper part of the carton is completely sufficient for additional protection, but on the other hand is excellent for printing and can therefore hold all consumer information.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung liegt darin, daß der Deckel mit einer Längsseite am Unterteil über eine Klebeverbindung angelenkt ist und an der gegenüberliegenden Längsseite die Rastverschlüsse aufweist.An advantageous embodiment of the invention resides in the fact that the cover is articulated with one long side on the lower part via an adhesive connection and has the snap locks on the opposite long side.
Dadurch ist ein einfaches Öffnen und Schließen der Veipackung gewählleistet und damit auch eine leichte Kontrolle des Inhaltes durch den Käufer möglich.This ensures that the packaging is opened and closed easily and that the content can be easily checked by the buyer.
Sehr günstig ist es auch, wenn erfindungsgemäß am Unterteil ein Material streifen angelenkt ist, an dem das Oberteil über eine Klebeverbindung befestigt ist.It is also very favorable if, according to the invention, a strip of material is articulated on the lower part, to which the upper part is fastened by means of an adhesive connection.
Damit ist ein einfaches Verbinden von Oberteil und Unterteil ermöglicht.This enables a simple connection of the upper part and lower part.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung liegt darin, daß am Unterteil ein aus dem gleichen Material bestehendes Oberteil angelenkt ist, über welches ein Karton-Oberteil gestülpt ist.Another advantageous embodiment of the invention is that an upper part made of the same material is hinged to the lower part, over which a cardboard upper part is put.
Insbesondere zum Veipacken von sehr dünnschaligen und damit empfindlichen Eiern oder zum Überbrücken sehr langer Transportwege ist eine derart ausgestaltete Verpackung sehr vorteilhaft, da die Eier od.dgl. einen optimalen Schutz erhalten und trotzdem eine sehr gute Verbraucherinformation ermöglicht ist.In particular for packaging very thin-shelled and thus sensitive eggs or for bridging very long transport routes, such a packaging is very advantageous since the eggs or the like. receive optimal protection and nevertheless very good consumer information is made possible.
Dabei hat es sich als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn erfindungsgemäß beide Oberteile mit zueinander fluchtenden Durchbrechungen versehen sind, in welche am Unterteil angeordnete Nocken im verschlossenen Zustand eingreifen. Damit wird nicht nur ein gemeinsamer Verschluß für beide Oberteile erhalten, sondern gleichzeitig werden beide Oberteile zusätzlich miteinander verbunden.It has proven to be particularly advantageous if, according to the invention, both upper parts are provided with openings which are aligned with one another and into which cams arranged on the lower part engage in the closed state. This not only gives a common closure for both tops, but also simultaneously connects both tops together.
Als sehr vorteilhaft hat es sich auch erwiesen, wenn gemäß der Erfindung das Deckelteil eine zentrale Deckelfläche aufweist, an deren Längskanten über zwei Faltlinien zwei einander gegenüberliegende Seitenwände angelenkt sind, deren freie Längskanten länger ausgebildet sind als die Anlenk-Faltlinien, und daß an den beiden Stirnkanten der Deckelfläche sich zum freien Ende hin ebenfalls erweiternde Seitenwände angelenkt sind.It has also proven to be very advantageous if, according to the invention, the cover part has a central cover surface, on the longitudinal edges of which two opposite side walls are articulated via two fold lines, the free longitudinal edges of which are longer than the articulated fold lines, and that on the two Front edges of the cover surface are also articulated towards the free end, widening side walls.
Damit erhält das Oberteil beim Aufrichten eine haubenförmige Gestalt, die sich den in das Unterteil eingestellten Eiern sehr gut anpaßt.This gives the top part a hood-like shape when it is erected, which adapts very well to the eggs placed in the bottom part.
Sehr günstig ist es auch, wenn erfmdungsgemäß an zwei der vier Seitenwände Verbindungsklappen angelenkt sind, die im aufgerichteten Zustand des Deckelteils an der jeweils benachbarten Seitenwand festgelegt sind.It is also very favorable if, according to the invention, connecting flaps are articulated on two of the four side walls, which are fixed to the adjacent side wall in the erected state of the cover part.
Damit wird das Deckelteil sehr stabil und gibt den Eiern od.dgl. einen guten zusätzlichen Schutz.So that the lid part is very stable and gives the eggs or the like. good additional protection.
Erfmdungsgemäß ist es dabei möglich, daß die Verbindungsklappen bogenförmig verlaufen und die Deckelfläche ebenfalls bogenförmig ausgebildete Ecken aufweist.According to the invention, it is possible for the connecting flaps to run in an arcuate manner and for the cover surface also to have arcuate corners.
Damit erhält das Deckelteil eine abgerundete, sich den Eiern sehr gut anpassende Form.This gives the lid part a rounded shape that adapts very well to the eggs.
Ebenfalls sehr vorteilhaft ist es, wenn erfindungsgemäß zwischen der Verbindungsklappe und der sie tragenden Seitenwand jeweils ein Zwischenstück angelenkt ist.It is also very advantageous if, according to the invention, an intermediate piece is articulated between the connecting flap and the side wall carrying it.
Damit läßt sich das Oberteil ebenfalls sehr gut an die runde Eierform anpassen. Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung liegt darin, daß die Längs- Seitenwände bogenförmige Endabsclmitte aufweisen und wenigstens einen Teil der an den beiden Schmalseiten vorgesehenen Seitenwände bilden, und daß an der Deckelfläche Schmalseitenwände angelenkt sind, welche die beiden Endabschnitte miteinander verbinden.So the top can also be adapted very well to the round egg shape. A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the longitudinal side walls have arcuate end sections and form at least part of the side walls provided on the two narrow sides, and that narrow side walls are connected to the cover surface and connect the two end sections to one another.
Dabei ist es dann besonders günstig, wenn erfindungsgemäß die Anlenklinien der beiden Schmalseitenwände bogenförmig verlaufen.It is particularly advantageous if the articulation lines of the two narrow side walls are curved in accordance with the invention.
Als sehr günstig hat es sich auch erwiesen, wenn gemäß der Erfindung an einer der Längs-Seitenwände eine Klebelasche angelenkt ist, über welche das Deckelteil mit dem Unterteil verbindbar ist.It has also proven to be very favorable if, according to the invention, an adhesive flap is articulated on one of the longitudinal side walls, via which the cover part can be connected to the lower part.
Um zu ermöglichen, daß das Oberteil bereits beim Hersteller des Unterteils an diesem befestigt wird, ist erfmdungsgemäß vorgesehen, daß an eine der beiden Längs- Seitenwände ein weiterer Wandabschnitt angelenkt ist, an welchem seinerseits faltbare Abschnitte zur Bildung von Stapelnocken vorgesehen sind.In order to enable the upper part to be attached to the lower part by the manufacturer, it is provided according to the invention that a further wall section is hinged to one of the two longitudinal side walls, on which in turn foldable sections are provided to form stacking cams.
Damit können die fertigen Verpackungen im auseinandergefalteten Zustand in einer Vielzahl übereinandergestapelt werden und können auch mit automatischen Maschinen sicher vereinzelt werden.This means that the finished packaging can be stacked on top of one another in the unfolded state and can also be safely separated using automatic machines.
Ebenfalls sehr günstig ist es, wenn erfindungsgemäß an den Schmalseitenwänden mehrere insich faltbare Lappen angelenkt sind, welche nach innen einfaltbar sind.It is also very favorable if, according to the invention, a plurality of flaps which can be folded are hinged to the narrow side walls and which can be folded inwards.
Diese Lappen bilden im aufgerichteten Zustand des Oberteils ebenfalls Stapelnocken, die ein einwandfreies Entstapeln der kompletten aber geöffneten Verpackung ermöglichen. In der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung anhand mehrerer Ausführungsbeispiele veranschaulicht. Dabei zeigen:When the upper part is erected, these tabs also form stacking cams which enable the complete but opened packaging to be unstacked properly. The invention is illustrated in the drawing using several exemplary embodiments. Show:

Die Längs- Seitenwand 64 ist schmäler ausgebildet als die gegenüberliegende Seitenwand 63, und dient zum Befestigen an dem Verbindungslappen 31 des Unterteils aus Fig.3. Die Schmalseitenwände 65 entsprechen jedoch der Längs-Seitenwand 63, so daß die Verbindungsklappen 67 die unterschiedliche Breite ausgleichen.6 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a cardboard blank 61 with a cover surface 62 which has four rounded corners. Two longitudinal side walls 63 and 64 and two narrow side walls 65 are hinged to the straight boundary edges of the lid surface 62, all of which are rectangular. Arc-shaped connecting flaps 66 and 67 are articulated on the two longitudinal side walls 63 and 64, which are divided into several fold lines 68. The longitudinal side wall 64 is narrower than the opposite side wall 63 and is used for fastening to the connecting tab 31 of the lower part from FIG. 3. However, the narrow side walls 65 correspond to the longitudinal side wall 63, so that the connecting flaps 67 compensate for the different widths.
Ein aus diesem Zuschnitt nach Fig.6 aufgerichtetes Veipackungs-Oberteil 71 ist in Fig.7 dargestellt.A packaging upper part 71 erected from this blank according to FIG. 6 is shown in FIG.
Ein weiterer Kartonzuschnitt 81 ist in Fig.8 dargestellt, wobei die dortige Deckelfläche 82 wieder zwei Längs-Seitenwände 83 und 84 trägt. Zum Anlenken der beiden identischen Schmalseitenwände 85 sind gebogene Faltlinien 86 vorgesehen. An ihrem freien Ende tragen die beiden Schmalseitenwände 85 Lappen 87, die insich durch mehrere Faltlinien 88 unterteilt sind. Die beiden Längs-Seitenwände sind mit bogenförmig verlaufenden, als Verbindungsklappen 89 dienenden Endabschnitten versehen. Darüber hinaus ist an der von der Deckelfläche 82 abgewandten Kante der Längs-Seitenwand 83 ein Lappen 90 angelenkt, der wie aus Fig.9 ersichtlich ist, an die Innenseite der Längs-Seitenwand angelegt wird um deren freie Kante zu versteifen. Bei diesem in Fig.9 sichtbaren Veipackungs-Oberteil 91 sind die Lappen 87 ebenfalls nach innen eingefaltet und mit ihrem Endabschnitt an der Deckelfläche 82 festgelegt, so daß hier Stapelhilfen gebildet sind. Another cardboard blank 81 is shown in FIG. 8, the cover surface 82 there again carrying two longitudinal side walls 83 and 84. Bent fold lines 86 are provided for articulating the two identical narrow side walls 85. At their free end, the two narrow side walls 85 carry tabs 87, which are divided into themselves by a plurality of fold lines 88. The two longitudinal side walls are provided with arcuate end sections which serve as connecting flaps 89. In addition, a flap 90 is articulated on the edge of the longitudinal side wall 83 facing away from the cover surface 82, which, as can be seen from FIG. 9, is applied to the inside of the longitudinal side wall in order to stiffen its free edge. The flaps 87 are also in this packaging top part 91 visible in FIG. 9 folded inwards and fixed with its end portion to the lid surface 82, so that stacking aids are formed here.
