Abstract

A folded carton outer wrapper for four e.g. yoghurt tubs has a base (5), two sidewalls (3,4) and a top (2). The tubs are narrower at their base than at the rim. The tub bases are separated by a raised rectangular carton fold. The fold is joined to the base by a single folded edge.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Kartonumverpackung für wenigstens vier in zwei Reihen angeordnete becherförmige Gefäße, die mit einem zylindrischen oder konischen Mantel sowie vorzugsweise einem oberen Randflansch ausgestattet sind, wobei die Kartonumverpackung eine obere Deckwand, zwei daran angelenkte Seitenwände sowie zwei Bodenwand-Abschnitte aufweist, von denen einer auffaltbare Stege trägt, wobei die auffaltbaren Stege nur einseitig an einem der Bodenwand-Abschnitte angelenkt und im übrigen aus diesem Bodenwand-Abschnitt ausgestanzt sind, wobei die auffaltbaren Stege aus drei hintereinander angeordneten und gelenkig miteinander verbundenen Abschnitten bestehen, von denen einer am Bodenwand-Abschnitt angelenkt ist.The invention relates to a cardboard outer packaging for at least four arranged in two rows cup-shaped vessels, which are equipped with a cylindrical or conical shell and preferably an upper edge flange, the cardboard outer packaging having an upper top wall, two hinged thereto side walls and two bottom wall sections, of which one carries foldable webs, wherein the foldable webs articulated only on one side of one of the bottom wall sections and are punched out of this bottom wall section, wherein the foldable webs of three consecutively arranged and articulated interconnected sections, one of which on Bottom wall section is articulated.

Aus der DE-C-41 00 783 ist eine derartige Umverpackung bekannt, die den darin verpackten Gegenständen einen sehr guten Halt gewährt, die aber verhältnismäßig kompliziert aufgebaut und aufwendig aufzurichten ist.From DE-C-41 00 783, such a repackaging is known, which grants the objects packed therein a very good grip, but which is relatively complicated and expensive to erect.

Aus der EP-A-0 388 238 ist ebenfalls eine derartige Umverpackung bekannt, die jedoch nicht immer sicherstellen kann, daß die verpackten Gegenstände in der gewünschten Position verbleiben und die gewünschten Abstände zueinander einhalten.Such outer packaging is also known from EP-A-0 388 238, which, however, can not always ensure that the packaged objects remain in the desired position and maintain the desired distances from one another.

Dagegen liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verpackung vorzuschlagen, die einfacher und kostengünstiger herzustellen und aufzurichten ist und trotzdem eine sichere Befestigung der zu verpackenden Gegenstände gewährleistet.In contrast, the present invention seeks to propose a package that is easier and cheaper to manufacture and erect and still ensures a secure attachment of the items to be packaged.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfingdungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß ader mittlere der drei hintereinander angeordneten Abschnitte des auffaltbaren Steges über einen weiteren Wandabschnitt am Bodenwand-Abschnitt angelenkt ist.This object is achieved erfingdungsgemäß that ader the middle of the three consecutively arranged portions of the unfoldable web is articulated via a further wall portion on the bottom wall portion.

Damit ist eine besonders einfache Ausgestaltung der Stege und damit des gesamten Verpackungs-Zuschnittes erreicht.For a particularly simple embodiment of the webs and thus the entire packaging blank is achieved.

Zudem werden diese auffaltbaren Stege ohne zusätzlichen Materialbedarf aus dem einen Bodenwand-Abschnitt hergestellt.In addition, these expandable webs are made without additional material requirements from the one bottom wall section.

In der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung anhand von eines Ausführungsbeispiels veranschaulicht. Dabei zeigen:

einen nicht beanspruchten flachliegenden Kartonzuschnitt zum Verpacken von vier becherförmigen Gefäßen,
Fig.2

In the drawing, the invention is illustrated by means of an embodiment. Showing:
Fig.1
an unstressed flat carton blank for packaging four cup-shaped vessels,
Fig.2
a flat carton blank according to the invention,
Figure 3
a perspective view of a cardboard outer packaging erected from the blank of FIG. 1,

Mit 1 ist in Fig.1 ein Kartonzuschnitt bezeichnet, der eine Deckwand 2 und an dieser angelenkt zwei Seitenwände 3 und 4 aufweist. An jeder der beiden Seitenwände 3 bzw. 4 ist ein Bodenwand-Abschnitt 5 bzw. 6 angelenkt, die beim Aufrichten des Kartonzuschnittes 1 den Boden bilden, wobei der Bodenwand-Abschnitt 5 innen und der Bodenwand-Abschnitt 6 außen liegen. Im Bodenwand-Abschnitt 5 sind zwei Flächenabschnitte 7 und 8 vorgesehen, die über je eine Faltlinie 9 und 10 am Bodenwand-Abschnitt 5 angelenkt und entlang von Schnittlinien 11 und 12 aus diesem herausgelöst sind. Beide Flächenabschnitte 7 und 8 weisen je zwei Faltlinien 13 und 14 auf, um die der Flächenabschnitt zu einem Steg aufgefaltet werden kann.1 designates a carton blank in FIG. 1, which has a cover wall 2 and, hinged thereto, two side walls 3 and 4. At each of the two side walls 3 and 4, a bottom wall section 5 and 6 is hinged, which form the bottom when erecting the carton blank 1, wherein the bottom wall section 5 inside and the bottom wall section 6 are outside. In the bottom wall section 5, two surface portions 7 and 8 are provided, which are articulated via a respective fold line 9 and 10 on the bottom wall section 5 and along cut lines 11 and 12 are dissolved out of this. Both surface portions 7 and 8 each have two fold lines 13 and 14, around which the surface portion can be unfolded to a web.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig.2, das sich in den übrigen Teilen nicht vom Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig.1 unterscheidet, sind im Bodenwand-Abschnitt 25 zwei Flächenabschnitte 27 und 28 vorgesehen, die über Wandabschnitte 30 gelenkig mit dem Bodenwand-Abschnitt 25 verbunden sind. Der Wandabschnitt 30 greift dabei an einem Mittelabschnitt 29 des jeweiligen Flächenabschnittes 27 bzw. 28 an.In the embodiment of Figure 2, which does not differ in the other parts of the embodiment of Figure 1, two surface portions 27 and 28 are provided in the bottom wall portion 25, which are connected via wall portions 30 hingedly connected to the bottom wall portion 25. The wall portion 30 acts on a central portion 29 of the respective surface portion 27 and 28 at.

In Fig.3 ist eine Kartonumverpackung 31 dargestellt, die aus dem Kartonzuschnitt 1 nach Fig.1 aufgerichtet ist. In diese Kartonumverpackung 31 sind vier nicht näher dargestellte becherförmige Gefäße 32 eingestellt, wobei zwischen jeweils zwei Gefäßen ein Steg 37 eingedrückt ist, der die Gefäße nach außen gegen die Seitenwände 3 und 4 drückt, wodurch die Gefäße 32 einen festen Halt erfahren. Der Steg 37 ist dabei aus dem Flächenabschnitt 7 aufgefaltet und nur über die Faltlinie 9 mit dem Bodenwand-Abschnitt 5 verbunden. Eine Verklebung oder andere Festlegung des Steges am anderen Bodenwand-Abschnitt 6 findet dabei nicht statt.In Fig.3 a cardboard outer package 31 is shown, which is erected from the carton blank 1 of Figure 1. In this Kartonumverpackung 31 four cup-shaped vessels not shown in detail 32 are set, wherein between each two vessels, a web 37 is pressed, which presses the vessels outwardly against the side walls 3 and 4, whereby the vessels 32 experience a firm hold. The web 37 is unfolded from the surface portion 7 and only connected via the fold line 9 with the bottom wall section 5. A bonding or other fixing the web on the other bottom wall section 6 does not take place.
