Definitions

  • the invention relates to a folding box as described in the preamble of Claim 1.
  • Folding boxes of this kind are used throughout the world for transporting upwardly tapering filled bags in a horizontal and partially overlapping position.
  • the loss of volume caused by the horizontal overlapping position of the bags is low.
  • Blanks for American boxes can be produced at a high production rate and a low cost and they can be folded and glued using a simple case erector.
  • a drawback of an American box when used for filled bags which are stacked horizontally on top of one another is that the presentation of the bags leaves something to be desired when the cover flaps are folded open. Although it would be possible to achieve a better presentation of the bags with upwardly tapering opening ends by placing the bags upright in a box, .-his would be achieved at the expense of a high loss of volume in the box.
  • the object of the invention is to avoid the abovementioned drawbacks and to provide a box as outlined in the preamble which is modified in such a manner that bags with upwardly tapering opening ends can be accommodated in the box in a staggered and mutually overlapping manner without substantial loss of volume, while nevertheless allowing the presentation of the bags in the box to be excellent.
  • the folding box is characterized for this purpose by the measures of the characterizing part of Claim 1.
  • the said first side wall is divided into two parts along the said tear means and the said third side wall is either folded in two along a fold line or divided into two parts along a tear means, and the box or the two halves of the box are turned so that the bottom wall comes to stand vertically.
  • the invention has considerable advantages. There is no need for repacking and in the supermarkets the presentation packages (display packages) are simply put on the shelf, instead of unpacked. If the box height selected corresponds to half the depth of a shelf, the two separate presentation packages can be placed one behind the other on a shelf. If the height of the box corresponds to the depth of a shelf, the two presentation packages formed can be placed next to one another - optionally connected by a fold line - on the shelf and both the presentation packages take up the depth of the shelf.
  • the tear lines or fold line in the side walls run parallel to the direction of the corrugations in the corrugated cardboard, there is a risk of an incorrect fold being formed in the cardboard material at the location of a vertical tear or fold line during the manufacture, folding and sticking of the box.
  • the tear zone of the said first side wall is designed as two inclined tear lines cr as two inclined tear lines which form a V, the point of which meets a vertical tear line and the tear means of the said third side wall is designed as two inclined tear lines or as two inclined tear lines which form a V, the point of which meets a vertical tear or fold line, the risk of an incorrect fold being formed along a vertical tear or fold line is essentially avoided.
  • a folding box has an elongate shape with two relatively long cover flaps and two relatively short cover flaps
  • the short cover flaps it is preferred for the short cover flaps to be glued to the long cover flaps, which have been folded into the closed position.
  • that part of the long cover flaps which is situated between the short cover flaps it can be advantageous for that part of the long cover flaps which is situated between the short cover flaps to be provided with two tear lines which delimit a tear lip which adjoins the tear means of the side wall 1, 3 in question to which the cover flap in question is connected by means of a fold line.
  • the invention also relates to a blank which is required to form a folding box as described.
  • the starting point is a corrugated-cardboard regular slotted case which is known per se, since this can be produced at a high production rate without punching and a box can be formed from the blank, by folding and sticking, by means of a simple case erector.
  • the corrugations are perpendicular to the production direction during the making of the blank.
  • the folding box has a filling opening which can be closed off by the cover flaps.
  • EP-A-0,726,205 has disclosed a rectangular box which does not belong to the category of American boxes (regular slotted cases) and which comprises a central section, two side parts and a cover which is formed by three tear-off parts and is glued to the bottom of the central section.
  • the central part has a fold line in the centre. By removing the three cover parts, the bottom of the central part can be folded over the said fold part, with the result that two L- shaped presentation units which are connected to one another are formed.
  • This known box does not comply with Claim 1 and is also not intended to be filled from above. The production method is considerably more complicated than that used for an American box to which the tear and fold provisions according to the invention are added.
  • FR-A-2,669,893 has disclosed an elongate box (not belonging to the category of regular slotted cases), which box comprises a bottom, two long side faces, two short side faces and a cover.
  • a fold or tear line, which continues into the short side faces as a vertical tear line, is made in the longitudinal centre of the bottom.
  • the cover has two tear lines which are spaced apart and run parallel to the fold or tear line of the bottom.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a folding box according to a first embodiment, in the presentation position.
  • FIG. 1 shows the blank from which the folding box in accordance with Figure 1 is produced.
  • Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the folding box in accordance with Figure 1 in the transport or storage position.
  • Figure 4 shows a perspective view of the folding box according to the first embodiment during the change from its transport position to its presentation position.
  • Figure shows a cross-section of the folding box in the transport position, the horizontal, mutually overlapping, upwardly tapering filled bags being shown by dashed lines.
  • Figure 6 shows a perspective view of a folding box according to a second embodiment, in the display position, two separate presentation units being formed by division.
  • Figure 7 shows a perspective view of a folding box according to a third embodiment.
  • Figure 8 shows a perspective view of the folding box in accordance with Figure 7. two separate boxes being formed by division.
  • Figure 9 shows a blank from which the folding box in accordance with Figure 7 is produced.
  • Figure 10 shows the units illustrated in Figure 8 in the presentation position, in which they are placed one behind the other on a supermarket shelf.
  • Figure 11 shows a perspective view of a fourth embodiment of a folding box according to the invention.
  • Figure 12 shows a perspective view of the change from the transport position of the folding box in accordance with Figure 11 to its presentation position.
  • Figure 13 shows a blank from which the folding box in accordance with Figure 11 is produced.
  • Figure 14 shows a perspective view of the top part of a fifth embodiment of a folding box according to the invention.
  • Figure 15 shows the blank from which the folding box in accordance with Figure 15 can be produced.
  • Figure 16 shows a perspective view of a sixth embodiment of a folding box according to the invention.
  • FIG 17 shows a blank from which the folding box in accordance with Figure 16 can be produced. All the folding boxes illustrated are of the American box type
  • FIG. 1 An American box is produced from corrugated cardboard.
  • the longitudinal direction of the corrugations is indicated by dashed lines in the various walls of the folding box.
  • the various blanks show that this longitudinal direction of the corrugations of the corrugated cardboard is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the blank. This means that in the erected, folded 'and glued state of the folding box the longitudinal direction of the corrugations in the side walls of the box runs vertically.
  • an American box can be produced at a high production rate and at low cost.
  • the presentation packaging shown in Figure 1 is formed in a simple manner from a rectangular folding box which is illustrated in Figure 3 and has four side walls 1, 2, 3 and 4, a bottom comprising four bottom flaps 5.
  • the side wall 1 has a fastening flap 13 and is divided into two parts la, lb by a tear line 14.
  • a score line 1 is made in the centre of the side wall 3»
  • the bottom flap is divided into two parts 5a, b by a tear line 16 which adjoins a tear line 14, and in a corresponding manner the bottom flap 7 is divided into two parts 7a, 7b by a tear line 17.
  • the tear line 17 adjoins the score line 15.
  • the flap 13 is glued to the wall 4, the side wall 2 is folded through 90° with respect to the side wall 1, the side wall 3 is folded through 90° with respect to the side wall 2, the side wall 4 is folded through 90° with respect to the side wall 3- Furthermore, the bottom flaps 5. 6, 7 and 8, and also the cover flaps 9. 10, 11 and 12, are folded inwards.
  • FIG. 5 it can be seen how a box is filled with filled, upwardly tapering bags 18.
  • the bags are stacked in a staggered manner with respect to one another.
  • an insert board which is slightly smaller than the horizontal cross-section of the box, can be placed on top of the bags, the cover flaps 10 to 12 being folded onto the said insert board.
  • tear line (cf. 14, 16 and 17) should be interpreted broadly. A tear line will normally comprise a perforation.
  • box parts on either side of the lines 14, 16 may already be separate from one another in the transport/storage position shown in Figure 3 and that these box parts of the box are joined together by adhesive tape or similar material, in which case the adhesive tapes are removed in order to change from the box shape in accordance with Figure 3 into the box shape in accordance with Figure 1.
  • Tear cords, zip fasteners or the like at the location of the tear lines are also possible.
  • the -embodiment in accordance with Figure 6 differs from that in accordance with Figures 1 to 5 by the fact that the line 15 is designed as a tear line instead of as a fold line, so that in the presentation position the two halves are separated from one another and can be placed one behind the other on a supermarket shelf.
  • the third embodiment in accordance with Figures 7 to 10 differs from that in accordance with Figure 6 in that: a. a V-shaped tear means is arranged in the side wall 1 (la, lb) instead of the vertical tear line 11, this V-shaped tear means being delimited by two tear lines (14a, 14b) which are at an angle to the direction of the corrugations of the corrugated cardboard; as has already been stated, the longitudinal direction of the corrugated cardboard is indicated by dashed lines , b. instead of the incision 19 in the cover flap 9. Two parallel tear lines 19a, 19b are made in this cover flap, which tear lines 19a, 19b adjoin the top ends of the abovementioned tear lines l4a, l4b, c.
  • V-shaped tear means is provided instead of the vertical tear line 15 in the side wall 3.
  • this V-shaped tear means being delimited by two tear lines 15a, 15b which are at an angle to the direction of the corrugations of the corrugated cardboard, d.

  • the blank for the box in accordance with Figure 7 is shown in Figure 3.
  • the presentation units formed can be turned through 90° - as shown in Figure 10 - and placed one behind the other on a shelf.
  • the filled bags 18 adopt an upright position and are presented clearly. When seen in the longitudinal direction of the shelf, only a small section is taken up, corresponding to a so-called "facing".
  • By repeating the double combinations placed one behind the other, as shown in Figure 10, along the longitudinal direction of the shelf it is possible to present clearly to the public a large number of products belonging to the trade or brand name of a company without taking up large amounts of expensive shelf length.
  • the embodiment in accordance with Figures 11 to 13 differs from that in accordance with Figures 7 to 10 in that a.
  • the tear lines 19a and 19b in the side wall 1 are at a more inclined position with respect to the direction of the corrugations of the corrugated cardboard and a vertical tear line l4c runs from the intersection of the tear lines 19a, 19b as far as the fold line between the side wall 1 and the bottom flap 5. b.
  • the tear lines 20a, 20b of the side wall 3 adopt a more inclined position with respect to the direction of the corrugations of the corrugated cardboard and a vertical fold line 15c runs from the intersection of these tear lines 20a, 20b as far as the fold line between the side wall 3 and the bottom flap 7-
  • a vertical fold line 15c runs from the intersection of these tear lines 20a, 20b as far as the fold line between the side wall 3 and the bottom flap 7-
  • the embodiment in accordance with Figures 14 and 15 differs from that in accordance with Figures 11 to 13 in that: a. the fold line 15c is replaced by a tear line, b. the material between the tear lines 20a, 20b forms a projecting lip 20 which, in the folded position of the box, lies between the short cover walls 10 and 12 and bears against the end edge of the strip of material which lies between the tear lines 19a and 19b and in which the square part 22 which is delimited by tear lines can be pressed out by the thumb or finger.
  • the embodiment in accordance with Figures 16 and 17 differs from that in accordance with Figures 14 and 15 in that: a. the strip 21 is wider and longer and, in the folded position of the box, is glued to a part of the cover flap 9. b. the intersection of the inclined tear lines 15a and 15b adjoins the tear line 17, c. the intersection of the inclined tear lines l4a and l4b adjoins the tear line 16.
  • the invention has significant advantages. By adding a number of tear lines, bags packed horizontally in an American box which can be produced cheaply and quickly do not have to be repacked in the supermarket and the presentation packages, with the bags positioned vertically therein, merely have to be placed on the shelves.
  • the packaging space available on the shelves can be utilized optimally. Per facing, placing two presentation units one behind the other allows a product to be presented over the entire depth of a shelf.

Abstract

Cette invention se rapporte à une caisse américaine classique ou caisse à rabats, qui comprend des lignes perforées de séparation (14, 16, 17) et des lignes de pliage (15), pour qu'on puisse séparer la boîte en deux unités de présentation (1a, 1b), lesquelles peuvent éventuellement être reliées l'une à l'autre par une ligne de pliage et dans lesquelles on peut placer en position droite de petits sacs remplis, qui se chevauchent les uns les autres, une fois disposés dans la boîte pliante.
