Definitions

  • 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.
  • both the lower part and the upper part are usually made of cast cardboard, the two parts being produced in a corresponding shape.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the connecting flaps it is possible for the connecting flaps to run in an arcuate manner and for the cover surface also to have arcuate corners.
  • the top can also be adapted very well to the round egg shape.
  • 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.
  • an adhesive flap is articulated on one of the longitudinal side walls, via which the cover part can be connected to the lower part.
  • 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.
  • the finished packaging can be stacked on top of one another in the unfolded state and can also be safely separated using automatic machines.
  • a plurality of flaps which can be folded are hinged to the narrow side walls and which can be folded inwards.
  • FIG. 1 shows a flat cardboard blank with a top surface and four hinged side walls to form a packaging top part
  • FIG. 2 shows a packaging upper part erected from the blank according to FIG. 1, seen on its inside
  • FIG. 5 shows a packaging upper part erected from the connector according to FIG. 4,
  • FIG. 6 shows a cardboard blank lying flat with arcuate connecting flaps arranged on the two longitudinal side walls
  • Narrow sides are hinged and foldable rags
  • FIG. 9 shows a packaging upper part erected from the blank according to FIG. 1 in FIG. 1 denotes a cardboard blank which has a cover surface 2, on which two longitudinal side walls 7 and 8 and two narrow side walls 9 and 10 are articulated via folding lines 3, 4, 5, 6. In both pairs of side walls, the free edges are longer than the articulation folding lines 3, 4 or 5, 6 so that all four side walls are trapezoidal.
  • Connection flaps 11, 12 and 13, 14 are articulated on the two longitudinal side walls 7 and 8 and are connected to the narrow side walls when the blank 1 is erected.
  • two openings 15, 16 are arranged, which are part of snap closures with a lower packaging part shown in FIG.
  • a Veipackungs-upper part 21 is shown, which is erected from the blank 1.
  • This upper part 21 is connected to the longitudinal side wall 8 with a lower part 30, shown schematically in FIG. 3, as is known for packaging eggs.
  • This lower part 30 has at its one longitudinal edge an articulated connecting tab 31 which is glued to the longitudinal side wall 8.
  • Two cams 32 are integrally formed on its opposite longitudinal edge, which engage in the two openings 15 and 16 from the inside in the closed state of the packaging.
  • FIG. 4 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a cardboard blank 41, which likewise has a zential cover surface 42, on which the two longitudinal side walls 7 and 8 are articulated via the fold lines 3 and 4.
  • Both longitudinal side walls correspond completely to those from FIG. 1, the connecting flaps 43 and 44 being articulated on the respective side wall via intermediate pieces 45 and 46, respectively.
  • Gusset surfaces 47 and 48 are also articulated laterally on the intermediate pieces 45 and 46 and are separated from the cover surface 42 along cutting lines 49.
  • the longitudinal edge of the longitudinal side wall 7 facing away from the cover surface 42 is designed as a fold line 34 and carries a wall section 35 which contains folding flaps 36 and 37 at its outer end.
  • Fig.5 a Veipackungs-upper part 51 is shown, which according to the blank
  • Fig.4 is erected. It can be seen above all how the gusset surfaces 47 and 48 are applied to the inside of the cover surface 42.
  • the wall section 35 is folded onto the inside of the longitudinal side wall 7 and the end of the two folding tabs 36 and 37 is fastened to the inside of the top surface, which creates effective stacking aids.
  • FIG. 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.
  • the narrow side walls 65 correspond to the longitudinal side wall 63, so that the connecting flaps 67 compensate for the different widths.
  • FIG. 6 A packaging upper part 71 erected from this blank according to FIG. 6 is shown in FIG.
  • FIG. 8 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.
