Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Zuschnitt zur Fertigung eines in zur Aufnahme von stückigem Füllgut geeignete Abteile abfallfrei aufgeteilten Behältnisses, der mindestens fünf durch parallele Längsfaltlinien verbundene rechteckige Plattenteile aufweist, die in dem fertigen Behältnis einen Boden, eine erste Seitenwand, eine gleichbreite zweite Seitenwand und einen zwischen den Seitenwänden gelegenen, eine Reihe von Abteil-Trennwänden ergebenden Plattenteil bilden, wobei diese Plattenteile eine Anzahl von quer verlaufenden Schnitten und eine Anzahl von zwischen seinen seitlichen Längsfaltlinien verlaufenden Querfaltlinien aufweist, und die Seitenplatten schräg vom Schnittpunkt einer Längsfaltlinie mit einer Querfaltlinie nach aussen bis zu weniger als der halben Breite der Seitenplattenteile verlaufende Faltlinien aufweisen.The invention relates to a blank for production a compartment suitable for holding bulk goods waste-free divided container that has at least five through parallel longitudinal fold lines connected rectangular plate parts has a bottom, a first in the finished container Sidewall, an equal width second sidewall and one between the side walls, a series of compartment partitions resultant plate part, these plate parts a number of transverse cuts and one Number of lines running between its lateral longitudinal fold lines Has transverse fold lines, and the side panels diagonally from the intersection of a longitudinal fold line with a transverse fold line outwards to less than half the width of the side panel parts have extending fold lines.

Zuschnitte dieser Art sind bekannt, beispielsweise aus den US-Patentschriften 2 690 866 und 2 744 675 sowie aus der EP-Publikation 0 729 893 A 2 der Anmelderin, die die Merkmale des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1 offenbart. Zwar konnte mittels der aus EP 0 729 893 A 2 bekannten Ausführungsart bereits in gewisser Weise die relative Instabilität der aus Zuschnitten gemäss den US-Patentschriften 2 690 866 und 2 744 675 gefertigten Behältnissen verbessert und der bei der Ausführungsart gemäss US-PS 2 744 675 störende Materialabfall trotzdem vermieden werden. Aber es hat sich in der Praxis gezeigt, dass insbesondere dann, wenn das Füllgut, für welches solche Behältnisse im speziellen Einsatz bestimmt sind, relativ schwergewichtig ist und in Formgestaltungen mit relativ grösseren Toleranzen vorliegt, solche Behältnisse hinsichtlich ihrer Stabilitätseigenschaften immer noch zu wünschen übrig lassen, insbesondere dann, wenn sie aus vergleichsweise leichterem Material, wie beispielsweise leichtem Karton oder leichter einseitiger Wellpappe, beispielsweise Wellpappe-Material mit Flächengewichten im Bereich von ca. 40 - 400 g/m2 bestehen sollen. Leichtgewichtiges Material hat für diese Zwecke den extremen Vorteil, dass es die Transport- und Entsorgungskosten der fertigen Verpackungen so wenig wie möglich belastet; sein Einsatz ist daher erwünscht.Blanks of this type are known, for example from US Pat. Nos. 2,690,866 and 2,744,675, and from the applicant's EP publication 0 729 893 A2, which discloses the features of the preamble of claim 1. Admittedly, by means of the embodiment known from EP 0 729 893 A 2, the relative instability of the containers made from blanks according to US Pat. Nos. 2,690,866 and 2,744,675 has been improved to a certain extent and that of the embodiment according to US Pat. No. 2,744,675 disruptive material waste can still be avoided. But it has been shown in practice that, in particular when the contents for which such containers are intended for special use are relatively heavy and are available in shapes with relatively large tolerances, such containers still leave something to be desired in terms of their stability properties , in particular if they are to be made of comparatively lighter material, such as light cardboard or light single-sided corrugated cardboard, for example corrugated cardboard material with basis weights in the range of approximately 40-400 g / m 2 . For this purpose, lightweight material has the extreme advantage that it burdens the transport and disposal costs of the finished packaging as little as possible; its use is therefore desirable.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, einen Zuschnitt zur Verfügung zu stellen, der die abfallfreie Fertigung von solchen Behältnissen mit stoss- und druckstabilen Seiten- und Abteile-Trennwänden aus jedem gewünschten, auch leichtgewichtigen Karton- und Pappe-, insbesondere Wellpappe-Bahnenmaterial in gewünschtenfalls kontinuierlicher Arbeitsweise und in einem System mit direktem Zugang zu einer Befüllungsanlage zum Einbringen des vorgesehenen Füllgutes und anschliessender verkaufsfertiger Umverpackung zu ermöglichen vermag.The object of the invention is a blank for To make available the waste-free manufacture of such Containers with shock and pressure stable side and Compartment partitions made of any desired, even lightweight Cardboard and cardboard, especially corrugated sheet material in continuous mode of operation if desired and in a system with direct access to a filling system for the introduction of the intended filling material and subsequent ready to sell outer packaging.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst, wobei in den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 5 noch zweckmässige und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemässen Zuschnitts beansprucht werden. According to the invention, this object is achieved by means of the solved the features specified in claim 1, wherein in the Subclaims 2 to 5 are still expedient and advantageous Embodiments of the blank according to the invention claimed become.

Die Ansprüche 6 und 7 kennzeichnen aus erfindungsgemässen Zuschnitten herstellbare erfindungsgemässe Behältnisse und die Ansprüche 8 bis 12 enthalten die Merkmale der erfindungsgemässen Anlage zur kontinuierlichen Fertigung und gewünschtenfalls Befüllung und Umverpackung der erfindungsgemässen Behältnisse.Claims 6 and 7 characterize from inventive Containers according to the invention which can be produced to size and claims 8 to 12 contain the features of the invention Plant for continuous production and if required Filling and repackaging of the containers according to the invention.

Während die eingangs erläuterten bekannten Zuschnitte Behältnisse von relativ empfindlicher Stoss- und Druckanfälligkeit ergeben, gelingt es mittels erfindungsgemässe Zuschnitte, sowohl die Stabilität der Behälter-Längsseiten zu verbessern, weil in der Gebrauchsform erfindungsgemässer Behältnisse diese Seitenteile infolge der zusätzlichen innen gelegenen Klappenteile daran im wesentlichen doppel- bzw. dreilagig vorliegen; und es lässt sich auch die Stoss- und Druck-Belastbarkeit der Abteil-Trennwände erfindungsgemäss optimieren, weil diese in der Gebrauchsform des Behältnisses ebenfalls doppellagig und weiterhin bis zum Behälter-Innenboden reichend auffaltbar sind, so dass sie sich am Boden abzustützen vermögen. Darüber hinaus vermag die erfindungsgemässe Behältnis-Ausbildung mittels der eine abfedernde Wirkung ausübenden Klappenteile innen an den Abteil-Seitenetwa vorhandene Formatdiverganzen des stückigen Füllgutes in vergleichsweise grösseren Toleranzen auszugleichen, so dass feste Halterung von auch relativ verschieden geformtem stückigem Füllgut sicher garantiert ist.During the known blanks containers explained above of relatively sensitive to shock and pressure result, by means of cuts according to the invention, to improve the stability of the long sides of the container, because in the use form containers according to the invention these side panels due to the additional interior Flap parts thereon essentially two or three layers available; and it can also be the shock and pressure resistance optimize the compartment partitions according to the invention, because these are also in the use form of the container double-layered and continues to the bottom of the container can be unfolded so that they can support themselves on the ground. In addition, the container design according to the invention is capable by means of the damper parts exerting a cushioning effect Inside the compartment sides, there are some existing format divisions the lumpy product in comparatively larger Compensate tolerances, so that fixed mounting of too Relatively differently shaped lumpy filling safely guaranteed is.

Als Material für erfindungsgemässe Zuschnitte sind beliebige bekannte Karton- und Pappematerialien, auch starkes Papier oder Vliesstoff-Material brauchbar, das aus wirtschaftlichen Gründen möglichst leichtgewichtig sein sollte. Das Flächengewicht des verwendeten Bahnenmaterials sollte zweckmässig im Bereich von 40 bis 400 g/m2 liegen. Any known cardboard and cardboard materials, including strong paper or nonwoven material, which should be as light as possible for economic reasons, can be used as the material for blanks according to the invention. The weight per unit area of the sheet material used should suitably be in the range from 40 to 400 g / m 2 .

Das Material kann gewünschtenfalls, je nach Einsatzzweck, mit fett- und/oder wasserabweisenden Beschichtungen versehen sein. Insbesondere dann werden fettdichte Papiersorten zweckmässig eingesetzt, wenn die erfindungsgemässen Zuschnitte für Behältnisse für Lebensmittel bestimmt sind.If required, the material can be provided with grease and / or water repellent coatings his. Greaseproof paper types are particularly useful used when the blanks according to the invention for Containers are intended for food.

Es ist möglich, erfindungsgemässe Behältnisse aus entsprechendem Bahnenmaterial direkt von der Rolle in einer speziellen erfindungsgemässen Maschinenanlage zu fertigen, zu befüllen und - überzogen mit Umverpackungsmaterial - versand- bzw. verkaufsfertig zu gewinnen.
Eine solche Maschinenanlage kann beim Füllgut-Hersteller aufgestellt werden, so dass sie kontinuierlich oder getaktet mit der kontinuierlichen Produktion des Füllgutes zusammen zu arbeiten vermag, was eine gute frische Qualität der verpackten Ware garantiert und bei Verpackung von pharmazeutischen und kosmetischen Füllgütern einwandfreie hygienische Bedingungen sichert. Auf einer solchen Maschinenanlage können Behältnisse in verschiedenen Dimensionen und/oder Unterteilungen sowie mit und ohne Deckel gefertigt werden. Die Behältnisse können, entsprechend der maximalen Breite der Wellpappenanlage, eine maximale Länge von 2450 mm haben und mit mehreren, zum Beispiel bis zu 8 Einzelabteilen gefertigt werden. Für die Praxis haben sich erfindungsgemässe Behältnisse in Längen bis zu 800 mm mit 2 und 3 Einzelabteilen als besonders zweckmässig erwiesen. Die Einzelabteile können - je nach Dicke der Füllgut-Stücke - mit einem oder mehreren Füllgut-Stücken befüllt werden.It is possible to produce containers according to the invention from the appropriate sheet material directly from the roll in a special machine system according to the invention, to fill them and to obtain them, ready for dispatch or sale, coated with outer packaging material.
Such a machine system can be set up at the product manufacturer so that it can work continuously or in cycles with the continuous production of the product, which guarantees good fresh quality of the packaged goods and ensures perfect hygienic conditions when packaging pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. Containers in various dimensions and / or subdivisions and with and without a lid can be produced on such a machine system. Depending on the maximum width of the corrugated cardboard system, the containers can have a maximum length of 2450 mm and can be manufactured with several, for example up to 8 individual compartments. In practice, containers according to the invention in lengths of up to 800 mm with 2 and 3 individual compartments have proven to be particularly useful. The individual compartments can - depending on the thickness of the filling pieces - be filled with one or more filling pieces.

Da das Bahnenmaterial erfindungsgemäss vollkommen abfallfrei verarbeitet wird, ist der Einsatz solcher erfindungsgemässer Maschinenanlagen auch im Lebensmittelbereich, zum Beispiel in Linie mit einer Backstrasse für Gebäckverpackung einsatzfähig. Es können auch kosmetische und pharmazeutische Produkte hygienisch einwandfrei so verpackt werden. Since the sheet material is completely waste-free according to the invention is processed, the use of such according to the invention Machine systems also in the food sector, for example Can be used in line with a baking line for pastry packaging. It can also include cosmetic and pharmaceutical products be packed hygienically so.

Das Zwischenplattenteil 3 weist weiterhin drei quer verlaufende Schnitte 18 und je drei parallel zu den Faltlinien 7 bzw. 8 in einem gewissen Abstand von diesen längsverlaufende Zusatzschnit te 17 auf, die in der Mitte von den Schnitten 18 geschnitten werden. An den Zusatzschnitten 17 setzen an deren beiderseitigen Endpunkten schräg zu den Längsfaltlinien 7 bzw. 8 verlaufende zweite Zusatzschnitte 19 an, die ihre Fortsetzung finden in quer verlaufenden dritten Zusatzschnitten 15, die vom Schnittpunkt der Schnitte 19 mit den Längsfaltlinien 7 bzw. 8 bis je zu einem Endpunkt 15a in den Seitenteilen 2 bzw. 4 verlaufen. Zwischen den je einer Schnittfolge 15/19/17/19/15 zugehörigen beiden Endpunkten 15a ist je eine zusätzliche Längsfaltlinie 20 vorhanden, und diese ist mit den an den Endpunkten 15a ansetzenden je schräg zu den Querfaltlinien 10 verlaufenden Faltlinien 16 verbunden. Es sind dadurch begrenzte Felder 21 vorhanden, die - wie insbesondere anschaulich auch in Fig. 4 zu sehen - sechseckig geformt sind. Die Felder 21 bilden beim Aufrichten und Auffalten des Zuschnitts zu einem Behältnis 24 - dieser Vorgang ist schrittweise in den Figuren 4, 5, 6 und 7 an einem Zuschnitt aus sechs Plattenteilen 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 und 11 (ohne Deckelteil) mit den fünf Längsfaltlinien 6, 7, 8, 9 und 12 veranschaulicht - federnde Seitenklappenteile 21a, während zwischen den Querfaltlinien 10 und den quer verlaufenden Schnitten 18 gelegene Rechteckteile 26 mit teilweise ausgeschnittenen Seitenrändern beim Aufrichten die Trennwände 22 der einzelnen Abteile 25 im fertigen Behältnis 24 bilden. Die mittlere Querfaltlinie 10 ist bei dem Zuschnitt der Fig. 4 als ein paralleles Paar von Querfaltlinien vorhanden, und dementsprechend hat die mittlere Trennwand 22 in dem aus diesem Zuschnitt aufgerichteten Behältnis 24 eine stegförmige Ausbildung, wie gut aus den Figuren 7 und 8 zu ersehen ist.The intermediate plate part 3 also has three transverse ones Cuts 18 and three parallel to fold lines 7 and 8, respectively at a certain distance from these longitudinal cut te 17, cut in the middle by the cuts 18 become. On the additional cuts 17 put on both sides End points extending obliquely to the longitudinal folding lines 7 and 8 second additional cuts 19, which are continued find in transverse third additional cuts 15, the from the intersection of the cuts 19 with the longitudinal fold lines 7 or 8 to an end point 15a in the side parts 2 or 4 run. Between each of a sequence of cuts 15/19/17/19/15 associated two end points 15a is one each additional longitudinal folding line 20 is present, and this is with the at the end points 15a each inclined to the transverse fold lines 10 extending fold lines 16 connected. It is through it limited fields 21 available, which - as particularly vivid also seen in Fig. 4 - are hexagonal in shape. The Fields 21 form when the blank is erected and unfolded to a container 24 - this process is gradually in Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7 on a blank of six plate parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 11 (without cover part) with the five Longitudinal folding lines 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 illustrated - resilient Side flap parts 21a, while between the transverse fold lines 10 and the transverse cuts 18 rectangular parts 26 with partially cut out side edges when erecting the partitions 22 of the individual compartments 25 in the finished container 24 form. The middle transverse folding line 10 is at the 4 as a parallel pair of transverse fold lines is present, and accordingly the middle partition 22 in the container 24 erected from this blank web-shaped formation, as well from FIGS. 7 and 8 is seen.

Beim Faltvorgang um die Längsfaltlinien 6, 7, 8, 9 und 12 wird das Bodenplattenteil 1 um 90° gebogen, so dass nun das Bodenplattenteil 1 über die aufgerichteten Rechteckteile 26, die die Trennstege 22 bilden, zu liegen kommt, während an die Seitenplattenteile 2 und 4 als Verstärkung die gleichzeitig um die Faltlinie 20 um 180° nach innen gebogenen Klappenteile 21a und die seitlich nach innen um die Faltlinien 16 umgefalzten dreieckigen Randteile zu liegen kommen. Umd weiterhin wird das Bodenplattenteil 5 um 90° so um die Längsfaltlinie 9 umgeknickt, dass es das Bodenplattenteil 1 bedeckt und so den Boden das Behältnisses 24 doppelt, während das zusätzliche Seitenwand-Plattenteil 11, nachdem es mindestens teilweise auf seiner nahe der Längsfaltlinie 12 gelegenen Innenfläche mit Klebemittel beaufschlagt worden ist, in der aus Fig. 6 ersichtlichen Form um 90° in der Längsfaltlinie 12 geknickt und mit der Seitenwand 2, diese von aussen doppelnd, verklebt wird. When folding around the longitudinal folding lines 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 the base plate part 1 is bent by 90 °, so that now Base plate part 1 over the erected rectangular parts 26, which form the dividers 22 comes to rest, while at the Side plate parts 2 and 4 as reinforcement which at the same time around the folding line 20 flap parts bent inwards by 180 ° 21a and the ones folded inwards laterally around the fold lines 16 triangular edge parts come to rest. Umd continues the base plate part 5 is bent over 90 ° about the longitudinal folding line 9, that it covers the bottom plate part 1 and so the Bottom the container 24, while the additional Sidewall plate part 11 after it is at least partially on its inner surface located near the longitudinal fold line 12 has been acted upon with adhesive, in the one shown in FIG Form bent by 90 ° in the longitudinal folding line 12 and is glued to the side wall 2, this double from the outside.

Nach dem Wenden des danach fertigen Behältnisses 24 hat dieses die aus Fig. 7 in der Draufsicht gezeigte Form und ist parat zum Befülltwerden mit dem Füllgut, wie dies durch den Pfeil in Fig. 7 und die oberhalb des Behältnisses dargestellten Füllgut-Körper 23 veranschaulicht ist.After turning the finished container 24 has this the shape shown in Fig. 7 in plan view and is ready to be filled with the contents, as indicated by the arrow in Fig. 7 and the filling body shown above the container 23 is illustrated.

In Fig. 8 erkennt man, dass in gefülltem Zustand des Behältnisses 24 das Füllgut 23 fest gehalten ist, einmal durch die die Trennwände bildenden Rechteckteile 26, die auf dem Innenboden 1 abstützen und so sehr stabil sind und eine gewisse seitliche Druckwirkung auf das Füllgut haben (Fig. 8), und zum anderen durch die federnden Seitenklappenteile 21a an den Seitenwandteilen 2 und 4 (Fig. 9).In Fig. 8 it can be seen that in the filled state of the container 24 the filling 23 is held firmly, once by the the dividing walls forming rectangular parts 26 on the inner floor 1 support and so are very stable and a certain have lateral pressure on the product (Fig. 8), and on the other hand by the resilient side flap parts 21a to the Side wall parts 2 and 4 (Fig. 9).

In an sich bekannter Weise kann das mit dem Füllgut befüllte Behältnis mit einer Umverpackung umhüllt werden, beispielsweise mit einer an sich bekannten Folienverpackung, die in dem Fachmann bekannter Weise bedruckt, durchsichtig oder undurchsichtig, versiegelt oder sosntwie verschlossen sein kann.In a manner known per se, that which is filled with the filling material Be wrapped with an outer packaging, for example with a known foil packaging, which in the Printed, transparent or opaque in a manner known to a person skilled in the art, sealed or otherwise sealed.

In den Figuren 2 und 3 ist eine Maschinenanlage 30/30a zur Verwendung für ein kontinuierlich arbeitendes System zum Herstellen erfindungsgmässer Zuschnitte und daraus gefertigter erfindungsgemässer Behältnisse und zum Befüllen dieser Behältnisse unmittelbar an dem Fabrikationsort für das Füllgut beispielsweise veranschaulicht.A machine system 30 / 30a is shown in FIGS Use for a continuously operating system for Manufacture blanks according to the invention and made therefrom Containers according to the invention and for filling these containers directly at the manufacturing site for the product for example.

Von einer Vorratsrolle 31 des Bahnenmaterials für die Zuschnitte, beispielsweise einer einseitigen Wellpappe mit einem Flächengewicht von 100 g/m2, wird mittels nicht gezeigter Zugmittel die Materialbahn 29 über eine Umlenkrolle 32 auf eine Führungsunterlagebahn 33 gebracht und darauf einer Stanz- und Rillstation 34 zugeführt, in welcher die erfindungsgemässen Zuschnitte mittels Stanz- und Rillvorrichtungen 35 aus dem Bahnenmaterial gefertigt werden.
Es entstehen dort die in Fig. 4 veranschaulichten Zuschnitte, was durch IV + Pfeil in Fig. 3 illustriert ist. Der Zuschnitt läuft in Bahnlaufrichtung nach rechts in den Figuren 2 und 3 weiter in eine Aufrichtvorrichtung 36/37 und dann weiter in die nachgeschaltete Klebstoffauftrags- und Faltstation 38 mit Faltvorrichtung 39 und Klebstoffauftragsvorrichtung 40. Darin nimmt der Zuschnitt die in Fig. 5 veranschaulichte beinahe fertige Behältnisform an, was in Fig. 3 durch V + Pfeil illustriert ist, und läuft als verklebtes im wesentlichen fertiges Behältnis, ähnlich der in Fig. 6 gezeigten Form, was die Angabe VI + Pfeil in Fig. 3 veranschaulichen soll, auf der Transportunterlage nach rechts in der Zeichnung weiter durch eine Wendestation 41, in der das Behältnis 24 mittels der Wendevorrichtung 42 in die in Fig. 7 veranschaulichte Lage gewendet wird, was durch den Hinweis VII + Pfeil in Fig. 3 markiert ist, so dass die einzelnen gebildeten Abteile 25, die nun nach oben offen liegen, in einer unmittelbar nachgeschalteten Erweiterungsanlage 30a direkt mit dem Füllgut 23 aus einer Füllstation 43 befüllt werden können. Anschliessend kann in einer Umverpackungsvorrichtung 44, gewünschtenfalls in Verbindung mit einer Siegelvorrichtung 45, das Behältnis 24 mit den befüllten Abteilen 25 mit Umverpackungsmaterial 46, zum Beispiel einer von einer Folienrolle 44a abgezogenen Folie, umhüllt bzw. ummantelt werden. Sodann kann das mit Füllgut befüllte, zum Beispiel folienumverpackte Behältnis 48 versand-, vertriebs- und verkaufsfertig der Maschinenanlage 30/30a entnommen werden.From a supply roll 31 of the web material for the blanks, for example a single-sided corrugated cardboard with a basis weight of 100 g / m 2 , the material web 29 is brought via a deflection roller 32 onto a guide support web 33 and then fed to a punching and creasing station 34 , in which the blanks according to the invention are produced from the sheet material by means of punching and creasing devices 35.
The blanks illustrated in FIG. 4 are produced there, which is illustrated by the IV + arrow in FIG. 3. The blank runs in the web running direction to the right in FIGS. 2 and 3 further into an erecting device 36/37 and then further into the downstream adhesive application and folding station 38 with folding device 39 and adhesive application device 40. The blank takes the almost finished one illustrated in FIG. 5 therein Container shape, which is illustrated in Fig. 3 by V + arrow, and runs as a glued substantially finished container, similar to the shape shown in Fig. 6, which is intended to illustrate the indication VI + arrow in Fig. 3, on the transport pad on the right in the drawing further through a turning station 41, in which the container 24 is turned by means of the turning device 42 into the position illustrated in FIG. 7, which is marked by the reference VII + arrow in FIG. 3, so that the individual compartments formed 25, which are now open at the top, in a directly connected extension system 30a with the filling material 23 from a filling station n 43 can be filled. The container 24 with the filled compartments 25 can then be encased or encased in an outer packaging device 44, if desired in conjunction with a sealing device 45, with outer packaging material 46, for example a film drawn off from a film roll 44a. The container 48, for example foil-wrapped, can then be removed from the machine system 30 / 30a ready for dispatch, distribution and sale.

Wenn bruchempfindliches Füllgut, zum Beispiel aus einer Backstrasse 47 direkt in die Füllstation 43 ankommendes leichtes Gebäck, in die Behältnisse 24 eingefüllt werden muss, kann dies in der Füllstation auch von hand durch (nicht veranschaulichte) Hilfspersonen sorgfältig erfolgen, ohne dass der kontinuierliche Arbeitsgang unterbrochen werden muss. If break-sensitive contents, for example from a baking line 47 light arriving directly into the filling station 43 Pastries into which containers 24 must be filled can this in the filling station also by hand (not shown) Caregivers are done carefully without the continuous Operation must be interrupted.
