Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Kartonzuschnitt-Behälter zur Aufnahme von Bekleidungsstücken, insbesondere von Pullovern, T-Shirts und dergl., aufweisend ein Vorderseitenteil min einem über ein Zwischenstück über Falzlinien verbundenen Laschenteil, ein Hinterseitenteil mit einem über eine Falzlinie verbundenen Laschenteil und ein das Vorderseitenteil min dem Hinterseitenteil verbindenden Zwischenteil mit Griff- oder Sichtlock. Ein derartiger Faltbehälter ist bekannt (US-A-1 720 679), wenngleich dieser nicht mit einem Griff- oder Sichtlock ausgebildet ist. Derartige Behälter sind bekannt, sie dienen jedoch lediglich dem Transport von Kleidungsstücken vom Kleiderhersteller zur Verkaufsstelle. Dort werden sie der Verpackung entnommen und dem Endverbraucher in einer Auslage oder gestapelt in einem Regal dargeboten.The invention relates to a cardboard blank container to hold clothing, especially sweaters, T-shirts and the like, having a front part of one via an intermediate piece connected by fold lines, a rear part with one connected by a fold line Tab part and a front part with the back part connecting intermediate part with handle or visible lock. Such a folding container is known (US-A-1 720 679), although this is not designed with a handle or visible lock. Such containers are known, but they only serve that Transport of garments from the clothing manufacturer to Point of sale. There they are removed from the packaging and the End users in a display or stacked on a shelf presented.

Die Erfindung will einen Behälter der eingangs genannten Art so ausgestalten, daß er sowohl zum Transport von Kleidungsstücken vom Konfektionär zum Verkäufer als auch für die Darbietung für den Verkauf an den Endverbraucher geeignet ist.The invention wants a container of the type mentioned above designed that both for the transport of clothing from the manufacturer to the seller as well as for the performance of is suitable for sale to the end user.

Erreicht wird dies dadurch, daß der Vorderseitenteil in einem seiner Randbereiche einen aufklappbaren Klappteil aufweist, der durch eine nicht vollständig geschlossene Schnittlinie, vorzugsweise einen Kreisbogen mit ca. 300°, gebildet ist. This is achieved in that the front part in one its edge areas has a hinged folding part that due to a not completely closed cutting line, preferably an arc of approximately 300 ° is formed.

Das Lösungsprinzip der vorliegenden Erfindung beruht darauf, einen Kartonbehälter in Quaderform an einer seiner Vorderseiten mit einer Öffnung zu versehen, wobei diese Öffnung das Kleidungsstück, insbesondere die Einnähetiketten des Kleidungsstücks, nach außen hin zeigen kann. Der hinter der Öffnung liegende Klappenteil dient u.a. als Unterlage für das nach außen hin sichtbare Kleidungsstück.The solution principle of the present invention is based on a box-shaped box in a cuboid shape on one of its front sides to be provided with an opening, this opening being the Garment, especially the sew-on labels of the Garment, can point outwards. The one behind the opening lying flap part serves among other things as a base for the outside visible garment.

In den Figuren ist ein Kartonzuschnitt zu erkennen, wobei als Ausgangsmaterial Pappkarton oder dergl. dient, so wie dieser im Handel erhältlich ist.A cardboard blank can be seen in the figures, whereby as The basic material is cardboard or the like Trade is available.

Der Kartonzuschnitt wird so zugeschnitten, gestanzt und vorgefalzt, daß aus dem Kartonzuschnitt durch einfache Umlegevorgänge der Behälter gemäß der Erfindung gebildet werden kann.The cardboard blank is cut, punched and pre-folded that from the cardboard blank by simple Transfer operations of the containers are formed according to the invention can.

Im zusammengebauten Zustand hat der Behälter im wesentlichen die Form eines Quaders, wobei die großen Seiten mit 10 und 20 bezeichnet sind. Die mittleren Seiten dieses Quaders sind offen, d.g. es besteht für diesen Bereich kein Kartonzuschnittsteil.When assembled, the container has essentially that Shape of a cuboid, the large sides with 10 and 20 are designated. The middle sides of this cuboid are open, d.g. there is no cardboard blank for this area.

Zwischen den Behälterseiten 10 und 20 befindet sich ein Zwischenstück 40, welches über Falzlinien 33 und 34 mit den entsprechenden Teilen 10 bzw. 20 verbunden ist. In entsprechender Weise ist an der Behälterseite 10 ein gleich großes Zwischenstück 11 vorgesehen, welches über eine Falzlinie 30 mit dem Seitenteil 10 verbunden ist. Die andere Begrenzung des Zwischenstücks 11 ist die Falzlinie 31, an welcher sich ein Umlegeteil 12 befindet.There is a between the container sides 10 and 20 Intermediate piece 40, which over fold lines 33 and 34 with the corresponding parts 10 and 20 is connected. In a corresponding manner is the same on the container side 10 large intermediate piece 11 is provided, which over a fold line 30 is connected to the side part 10. The other limitation of the intermediate piece 11 is the fold line 31, on which a Folding part 12 is located.

Am Seitenteil 20 ist über eine Falzlinie 32 ein Einsteckteil 21 vorgesehen, der mit einem Ausstanzloch 51 ausgestattet ist. Das Zwischenstück 11 ist mit einem schlitzförmigen Ausschnitt 42 und das Zwischenstück 40 mit einem runden Loch 41 ausgestattet, um seitlich in das Innere des fertiggestellten Behälters hineinblicken zu können.On the side part 20 there is an insertion part 21 via a fold line 32 provided that is equipped with a punch hole 51. The Intermediate piece 11 is with a slot-shaped cutout 42 and the intermediate piece 40 is equipped with a round hole 41 in order to laterally into the interior of the finished container to be able to look inside.

Der Teil 10 ist mit einem halbkreisbogenförmigen Einschnitt 50 versehen, so daß ein herausklappbarer jedoch mit dem Teil 10 verbundener Teil 52 entstanden ist.Part 10 has a semicircular incision 50 provided so that a foldable but with the part 10th connected part 52 has arisen.

Es wird hervorgehoben, daß alle Teile einstückig zu einem einzigen Kartonzuschnitt gehören.It is emphasized that all parts are in one piece belong to a single cardboard blank.

In der in Fig. 2 gezeigten Lage ist der Klappteil 52 nach oben herausgeklappt worden und unter diesen Ausklappteil 52, aber auf den Kartonzuschnitt selbst, ist ein T-Shirt 60 aufgelegt worden. In the position shown in Fig. 2, the folding part 52 is upwards been folded out and under this fold-out part 52, but on the cardboard blank itself, a T-shirt 60 has been put on.

Fig. 3 zeigt, wie der Verlängerungsteil 12 um 90° um die Falzlinie 31 verschwenkt worden ist, wobei das Zwischenstück 11 ebenfalls um 90° um die Falzlinie 30 verschwenkt worden ist.Fig. 3 shows how the extension part 12 by 90 ° to the Folding line 31 has been pivoted, the intermediate piece 11 has also been pivoted through 90 ° around the fold line 30.

Fig. 4 zeigt zunächst wie das T-Shirt 60 zusammengelegt und schließlich zurückgeschlagen wird (Fig. 5). Nunmehr kann der Seitenteil 20 um die Falzlinie 34 um etwa 180° und das Zwischenstück 40 um die Falzlinie 33 umd 90° verschwenkt werden, wonach der Teil 21 nochmals um die Falzlinie 32 um 90° verschwenkt und zu dem fertigen Karton (Fig. 6) zusammengesteckt wird.Fig. 4 shows how the T-shirt 60 folded and is finally struck back (Fig. 5). Now the Side part 20 about the fold line 34 by about 180 ° and that Intermediate piece 40 can be pivoted about the fold line 33 and 90 °, after which the part 21 again around the fold line 32 by 90 ° pivoted and put together to the finished box (Fig. 6) becomes.

Fig. 7 läßt erkennen, wie das T-Shirt 60 über die Öffnung 52 nach außen hin sichtbar ist. Es ist ersichtlich, daß das T-Shirt in der Verpackung transportiert werden kann, aber auch von einem Regal aus einem Endverbraucher angeboten werden kann. Beim Stapeln erweist es sich als nützlich, daß der Zwischenteil 40 mit der Öffnung 41, vorzugsweise einer kreisrunden Öffnung, ausgestattet ist, so daß man durch diese Öffnung hindurch die Farbe des T-Shirts erkennen kann.7 shows how the T-shirt 60 over the opening 52nd is visible to the outside. It can be seen that the shirt can be transported in the packaging, but also by one Shelf can be offered from an end user.
