Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung zur Aufnahme eines schüttfähigen Produktes, insbesondere Granulat, Pulver od. dgl., im wesentlichen bestehend aus einer Faltschachtel, die zumindest eine Vorder- und eine Rückwand, Seitenwände und Bodenlaschen sowie zumindest eine Deckellasche aufweist, die über seitliche, im Bereich einer im wesentlichen vertikal verlaufenden, linienförmigen Schwächezone, wie Rillinie, Perforationslinie bzw. Schnitt-Rillinie, einfaltbare Zwickellaschen mit den Seitenwänden verbunden sind, und daß in der Faltschachtel ein schlauchartiger, zumindest teilweise mit letzterer verklebter Innenbeutel angeordnet ist, der nach dem Füllvorgang durch wenigstens eine Siegelnaht hermetisch verschließbar ist.The invention relates to a packaging for receiving a pourable product, especially granules, Powder or the like, consisting essentially of a folding box that has at least one front and one a back wall, side walls and bottom flaps as well, at least has a cover flap that in the area of an essentially vertical, line-shaped weak zone, such as crease line, perforation line or cut crease line, foldable Gusset flaps are connected to the side walls, and that in the folding box a tube-like, at least partially arranged with the latter glued inner bag is that after the filling process by at least one Seal seam is hermetically closable.

Eine derartige Verpackung ist offenkundig vorbenutzt, wobei dies nicht druckschriftlich belegbar ist. Diese bekannte Verpackung weist im Eckbereich zwischen der inneren Deckellasche und den Zwickellaschen einen durch eine Perforation abgegrenzten Griffbereich auf, der nach Öffnen der äußeren Deckellasche mit einer Hand teilweise von der inneren Deckellasche und von den Zwickellaschen getrennt werden kann, wobei unter Ausbildung eines nach außen vortretenden Schütttrichters gleichzeitig die mit dem Griffbereich klebverbundene Innenhülle aufgerissen wird. Der entstehende Schütttrichter hat den grundsätzlichen Vorteil, daß ohne eine vollständige Öffnung der Verpackung insbesondere eine kontrollierte Entnahme des Verpackungsinhaltes möglich ist. Diese Lösung hat jedoch den Nachteil, daß sie nach einer Teilentnahme des Verpackungsinhaltes durch Rückfaltung nicht wieder verschließbar ist.Such packaging is obviously used, this cannot be documented in printed form. This known packaging has in the corner area between the inner lid flap and the gusset flaps one grip area delimited by a perforation, the one with one hand after opening the outer lid flap partly from the inner lid flap and from the Gusset flaps can be separated, taking training an outwardly directed hopper at the same time the one bonded to the handle area Inner shell is torn open. The emerging The funnel has the basic advantage that in particular without fully opening the packaging a controlled removal of the package contents is possible. However, this solution has the disadvantage that after a partial removal of the package contents cannot be closed again by folding back is.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht deshalb darin, eine neue Verpackung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 zu schaffen, die nach einer Teilentnahme des Verpackungsinhaltes einen Wiederverschluß möglich macht.The object of the invention is therefore to a new packaging according to the preamble of the claim 1 to create the after a partial withdrawal of the Package contents can be reclosed makes.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich aus den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1, insbesondere aus den Merkmalen des Kennzeichenteils, wonach ein durch die Zwickellaschen gebildeter seitlicher Faltbereich mit der Innenhülle mindestens teilweise verklebt und mit einer Vorrichtung zur Einleitung einer nach außen gerichteten Kraft versehen ist, durch die die Siegelnaht der Innenhülle im Faltbereich unter Bildung eines Schütttrichters zu öffnen ist.The solution to this problem arises from the Features of claim 1, in particular from the Characteristics of the label part, according to which by the Gusset flaps formed side folding area with the inner shell at least partially glued and with a device for introducing an outward Force is provided through which the sealed seam the inner envelope in the fold area to form a Open the hopper.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung hat den wesentlichen Vorteil, daß durch die kontrollierte partielle Öffnung der Siegelnaht durch die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur Einleitung einer nach außen gerichteten Kraft nicht wie beim Stand der Technik eine zusätzliche, letztendlich nicht wieder verschließbare Öffnung geschaffen wird, sondern daß die Einfüllöffnung dazu teilweise genutzt wird. Durch das Einfalten der inneren Deckellasche kann dabei die Entnahmeöffnung jederzeit wieder verschlossen werden. The packaging according to the invention has the essential Advantage that controlled by the partial Opening of the sealed seam by the device according to the invention to initiate an outward facing Does not force an additional, as in the prior art, ultimately not reclosable opening is created, but that the filler opening is partially used. By folding the inner ones Cover flap can open the removal opening at any time be closed again.

Auf vorteilhafte Weise kann die Verklebung zwischen Faltkarton und Innenhülle bei einer Ausführungsform lediglich im Bereich einer senkrechten linienhaften Schwächezone zwischen benachbarten Zwickellaschen vorhanden sein.Advantageously, the bond between Cardboard and inner cover in one embodiment only in the area of a vertical line Weak zone between adjacent gusset flaps to be available.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung liegt der Kraftangriffspunkt der Vorrichtung vorzugsweise im Bereich der linienhaften Schwächezone, d.h. letztendlich in der durch die Siegelnaht gebildeten Ebene, wodurch eine vorteilhafte Krafteinleitung in die Siegelnaht möglich ist.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention lies the force application point of the device preferably in the area of the linear weak zone, i.e. ultimately in the one formed by the sealed seam Level, creating an advantageous force transmission in the sealed seam is possible.

Eine noch günstigere Krafteinleitung ist dann gewährleistet, wenn nach einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Kraftangriffspunkt im Bereich der linienhaften Schwächezone nahe der Siegelnaht angeordnet ist.An even cheaper introduction of force is then guaranteed if according to another embodiment the force application point in the area of the linear Weakness zone is located near the sealed seam.

Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung wird die Vorrichtung zur Einleitung einer Kraft durch eine aus einer Zwickellasche ausgestanzte Zuglasche gebildet, die lediglich im Bereich der linienhaften Schwächezone mit einer benachbarten Zwickellasche stoffschlüssig verbunden ist. Diese erfindungsgemäße Ausführungsform hat den wesentlichen Vorteil, daß letztendlich die Vorrichtung zur Einleitung einer nach außen gerichteten Kraft während der Herstellung des Faltkartons mitgeschaffen werden kann und somit vollständig in den Faltkarton integriert ist. Die dreiseitig ausgestanzte Zuglasche hat des weiteren den Vorteil, daß keine punktuelle Befestigung, sondern eine linienförmige Befestigung am Faltkarton und eine dementsprechend gute Kraftübertragung möglich wird.In a particularly preferred embodiment the packaging of the invention is the device to initiate a force by one from one Gusset tab punched pull tab formed, the only in the area of the linear weak zone an adjacent gusset flap connected is. This embodiment according to the invention has the essential advantage that ultimately the device to initiate an outward force helped during the production of the folding box can be fully integrated into the folding box is. The pull tab has been punched out on three sides further the advantage that no punctual attachment, but a linear attachment to the folding box and a correspondingly good power transmission becomes possible.

Auf vorteilhafte Weise kann diese Erfindung im Zusammenhang mit einer Innenhülle aus einer nicht reißfähigen Verbundfolie eingesetzt werden, da auch dann durch partielles Öffnen der Siegelnaht ein Schüttrichter gebildet werden kann, durch den ein dosiertes Entnehmen des Verpackungsinhaltes möglich wird.Advantageously, this invention can be related with an inner cover made of a non-tearable Composite film can be used because then too by partially opening the sealing seam Hopper can be formed through which a metered Removing the package contents is possible.

Beispielsweise kann bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung Verbundfolie aus Papier, Aluminium und pedfähigen Polyethylenschichten gebildet sein, wodurch trotz einer hermetisch die Innenhülle verschließenden Siegelnaht eine Öffnung letzterer ohne Zerstörung der Innenhülle möglich ist.For example, in another embodiment the invention composite film made of paper, Aluminum and pedeable polyethylene layers are formed be what, despite a hermetically sealed inner shell closing sealing seam an opening of the latter without Destruction of the inner shell is possible.

Letztlich ist eine Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Siegelnaht der Innenhülle einen nicht geradlinigen, im wesentlichen sich häufig abrupt ändernden Verlauf aufweist. Dieser mit vielen "Spitzen" versehene Siegelnahtverlauf verringert den notwendigen Kraftaufwand beim partiellen Öffnen der Siegelnaht dadurch, daß im Bereich dieser "Spitzen" schon bei relativ geringer Krafteinleitung die Siegelnaht aufbricht.Ultimately, an embodiment of the invention Packaging characterized in that the Sealed seam of the inner shell a non-linear, in essentially has an abruptly changing course. This seal seam course provided with many "tips" reduces the effort required when partially opening the sealing seam in that in The range of these "peaks" is already relatively low Force application breaks the sealed seam.

    • In den Zeichnungen ist eine als Faltschachtel ausgebildete Verpackung insgesamt mit der Bezugsziffer 10 bezeichnet.In the drawings, one is designed as a folding box Total packaging with reference number 10 designated.

    In der Fig. 1 ist ein nicht aufgerichteter Faltschachtelzuschnitt 11 für eine Faltschachtel 10 dargestellt. Der Verpackungszuschnitt 11 weist eine Vorderseite 12, eine Rückseite 13 und zwei Schmalseiten 14 und 15 auf, die jeweils von Rillinien R begrenzt sind. Während die Vorderseite 12 und die Rückseite 13 jeweils mit einer Bodenlasche 16 versehen sind, weisen die Schmalseiten 14 und 15 jeweils eine Staublasche 17 auf. In Fig. 1 is a not erected folding box blank 11 shown for a folding box 10. The packaging blank 11 has a front side 12, a back 13 and two narrow sides 14 and 15, which are each delimited by crease lines R. While the front 12 and the back 13 each are provided with a bottom flap 16, the Narrow sides 14 and 15 each have a dust flap 17.

    Zusätzlich ist an der Rückseite 13 der Faltschachtel 10 eine innere Deckellasche 18 und an der Vorderseite 12 eine äußere Deckellasche 19 angeordnet.In addition, the folding box is on the back 13 10 an inner cover flap 18 and at the front 12 an outer cover flap 19 is arranged.

    An den Schmalseiten 14 und 15 sind öffnungsseitig als Verbindung zur inneren Deckellasche 18 Faltbereiche 20 vorhanden, die jeweils aus drei durch Rillinien R begrenzte Zwickellaschen 21, 22 und 23 bestehen. Die im Bereich der Schmalseite 15 angeordnete Zwickellasche 22 weist eine dreiseitig ausgestanzte Zuglasche 24 und einen vollständig entfernten Griffbereich 25 zum besseren Hintergreifen der Zuglasche 24 auf, aus dem der Karton vollständig entfernt ist. Im einzelnen ist dies gut in der Fig. 2 in vergrößerter Darstellung zu erkennen.On the narrow sides 14 and 15 are opening side as a connection to the inner lid flap 18 folding areas 20 available, each consisting of three by creasing lines R limited gusset tabs 21, 22 and 23 exist. The in Area of the narrow side 15 arranged gusset strap 22 has a pull tab 24 and punched on three sides a completely removed grip area 25 for better grip on the pull tab 24 from which the box is completely removed. In detail this is well shown in FIG. 2 on an enlarged scale detect.

    Innerhalb des aufgerichteten Faltkartons 10 ist, wie lediglich in den Fig. 3 bis 5 teilweise zu erkennen, eine schlauchförmige Innenhülle 27 angeordnet, die im Bereich der Zwickellaschen 21 und 22, mit Ausnahme des Bereichs der Zuglasche 24, vollflächig und über die gesamte Innenfläche mit dem Faltkarton 10 punktuell klebverbunden ist.Inside the erected folding box 10, as can only partially be seen in FIGS. 3 to 5, a tubular inner shell 27 is arranged, the in the area of the gusset flaps 21 and 22, with the exception the area of the pull tab 24, over the entire surface and over the entire inner surface with the folding carton 10 selectively is bonded.

    Nach der Befüllung der Verpackung 10 wird üblicherweise die Innenhülle 27 nahe ihrer Öffnung 28 durch eine oder mehrere Siegelnähte 29 verschlossen. Im vorliegenden Fall handelt es sich bei der Innenhülle 27 um eine Verbundfolie aus Papier, Aluminium und peelfähigen (schälbaren) Polyethylenschichten, wobei die Polyethylenschichten während des Versiegelns auf vorteilhafte Weise nicht miteinander verschmelzen und trotzdem eine hermetische Abdichtung des Produktes gewährleisten.After filling the packaging 10 is usually the inner shell 27 near its opening 28 closed by one or more sealing seams 29. in the In the present case, the inner casing 27 is concerned a composite film made of paper, aluminum and peelable (peelable) polyethylene layers, the Polyethylene layers during sealing on beneficial Way not merge and nevertheless guarantee a hermetic seal of the product.

    Bei der Siegelnaht 29 handelt es sich - wie Fig. 6 zeigt - nicht um eine geradlinige Siegelnaht, sondern um eine Siegelnaht, die einen nicht geradlinigen, im wesentlichen sich häufig abrupt ändernden Verlauf aufweist, deren Vorteile nachfolgend noch erläutert werden.The sealing seam 29 is - as in FIG. 6 shows - not about a straight seal, but around a sealed seam, which is not a straight line, in the has an essentially abruptly changing course, the advantages of which are explained below become.

    In der Fig. 3 erkennt man in der Draufsicht auf die innere Deckellasche 18 einerseits eine Griffausstanzung 30 mit einem Griffband 31 und andererseits einen Schlitz 32 für eine Verschlußlasche V einer in Fig. 1 dargestellten äußeren Deckellasche 19, die mit einer im Verschlußzustand deckungsgleichen Griffausstanzung 30' versehen ist. Ein Eckbereich 33 der inneren Deckellasche 18 gegenüberliegend dem mit der Zuglasche 24 versehenen Faltbereich 20 ist durch eine Schnittrillinie 34, die eine Knicklinie in Richtung des Pfeiles F ausbildet, angebunden. Letztlich weist die innere Deckellasche 18 noch zwei Piktogramme 35 und 36 auf, die in vergrößerter Darstellung als Fig. 4 und 5 nachfolgend noch erläutert werden.3 shows a top view of the inner cover flap 18, on the one hand, has a punched handle 30 with a grip tape 31 and the other a slot 32 for a locking tab V one in Fig. 1 outer cover flap 19 shown with a handle punched out congruently in the closed state 30 'is provided. A corner area 33 of the inner cover flap 18 opposite that with the Pull tab 24 provided folding area 20 is by a Cutting line 34, which is a crease line in the direction of Arrow F forms, tied. Ultimately, the inner lid flap 18 two pictograms 35 and 36 on, in an enlarged view than FIGS. 4 and 5 are explained below.

    Anhand dieser Fig. 4 und 5 kann man im wesentlichen das Öffnen der Verpackung 10 erläutern. Nach dem Öffnen der äußeren Deckellasche 19 wird der Eckbereich 33 der inneren Deckellasche - wie der in der Fig. 3 erkennbare Pfeil F zeigt - nach oben umgebogen, so daß in der Seitenansicht die in der Fig. 2 dargestellte Situation entsteht. Dann kann durch das Hintergreifen der Zuglasche 24 letztere erfaßt werden und in Richtung einer vertikal verlaufenden Rillinie Rv unter dreiseitiger Trennung von der Zwickellasche 22 hochgebogen werden. Danach wird die Zuglasche 24 mit der Hand nach außen gezogen, so daß aufgrund der Verklebung der Zwickellaschen 21 und 22 eine Kraft unmittelbar auf die Siegelnaht 29 einwirkt, die ein partielles Öffnen letzterer im Faltbereich 20 einleitet. Durch weiteres Ziehen der Zuglasche 24 nach außen wird der Faltbereich 20 nach außen umgestülpt, so daß sich im gesamten Faltbereich 20 die Siegelnaht 29 unter Ausbildung eines insbesondere in der Fig. 5 dargestellten Schütttrichters 37 öffnet. Dann kann - wie in Fig. 5 dargestellt - über den Schütttrichter 37 hindurch eine kontrollierte und dosierte Entleerung des Verpackungsinhaltes erfolgen.4 and 5, one can essentially explain the opening of the package 10. After opening the outer cover flap 19, the corner region 33 of the inner cover flap is bent upward, as the arrow F shown in FIG. 3 shows, so that the situation shown in FIG. 2 arises in the side view. Then, by reaching behind the pull tab 24, the latter can be grasped and bent up in the direction of a vertical crease line R v with three-sided separation from the gusset tab 22. The pull tab 24 is then pulled outwards by hand so that, due to the gluing of the gusset tabs 21 and 22, a force acts directly on the sealing seam 29, which initiates a partial opening of the latter in the fold area 20. By further pulling the pull tab 24 outwards, the folding area 20 is turned inside out, so that the sealing seam 29 opens in the entire folding area 20, forming a hopper 37, which is shown in particular in FIG. 5. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the contents of the packaging can be emptied in a controlled and metered manner via the hopper 37.

    Letztlich wird darauf hingewiesen, daß der nicht geradlinige, sondern mit "Spitzenbereichen" 38 versehene Verlauf der Siegelnaht 29 zahlreiche Ansatzpunkte für das einfache Öffnen der Siegelnaht 29 zur Verfügung stellt, so daß der notwendige Kraftaufwand für das Öffnen sich verringert.Ultimately, it is pointed out that not rectilinear, but with "tip areas" 38 Course of the sealed seam 29 numerous starting points for easy opening of the sealing seam 29 Provides so that the necessary effort for opening itself down.
