Description

The invention relates to a hanger for plastic bags according to the Preamble of claim 1. Such hangers become Presentation of goods used that are attached to a hanger.

A comparable hanger for presentable, foldable objects is become known with the subject of EP 540 810 A1. With this Hangers are two on a flat card body opposite holding tabs on the side edges of the card body over Hinged film hinges. The retaining tabs are together lockable and thus form a clamping gap between the card body and the respective retaining tab. In this clamping gap can now presentable, foldable object pinched and thereby held and to get presented.

Such a hanger is only for foldable objects to be presented suitable because the objects only in the nip between the Card body and the interlocking retaining tabs clamped can be. For holding plastic bags in which the presenting goods is packed, however, is not such a hanger suitable.

The invention is therefore based on the object of a hanger initially mentioned type so that it can be used to hold Plastic bags is suitable.

To solve the problem, the invention is through the technical teaching of claim 1.

An essential feature of the invention is that a plastic bag or Plastic bag in which the to be packaged and presented Item is packed, with the top edge in the space between at least one retaining tab and one arranged on the card body Mounting surface is held.

In contrast to EP 540 810 A1, the invention therefore provides that a Plastic bag with an upper edge in the space between at least one retaining tab and the card body is attached. In order to there is the advantage that the objects to be presented are no longer present must be clamped in the holding tab in folded form, but that instead a plastic bag in the space between the clamps Retaining tab and the card body is clamped, in turn, the to presenting objects are packed.

With this type of product presentation there are significant advantages that are explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment.

It is known plastic bags made of a relatively thin PE or PP plastic material train. This type of packaging is for light weight Tools and accessories used after these bags are little are viable. These bags are preferred with their upper edge on one Cardboard tab attached using staples.

Due to the type of attachment of the bag to the card body used, there is the disadvantage that the bag can now be removed from the card body by tearing and is difficult to open after tearing due to the resulting tear edges.
A reclosure is no longer possible without this.

So far, it is also known, for example heavier tools or others Pack heavier items in plastic bags. The Plastic bag is preferably made of a thicker PVC or PP material, that is tearproof. These bags have one on the top Suspension bag with a recess in it.

As a rule, such plastic bags are printed and carry on yours Surface marking of the goods, certain goods details and for example, the price.

The disadvantage is that the hanging bag is unsightly for heavy goods deformed.

This type of product presentation has serious disadvantages. It always has to an assignment of the printed plastic bag to the one contained therein Goods are hit. This requires a relatively large inventory, on the one hand from plastic bag and on the other hand from specifically in the respective Type of plastic bag to be packed. Every product has to do exactly that provided and printed plastic bag intended for this purpose.

This is where the invention that proposes, preferably an unprinted one, comes into play Plastic bag to use, but the in the nip with Card body arranged holding tabs and the card body itself is held.

If you use unprinted plastic bags, then there is first The advantage that the bag can be kept completely neutral, and that in it contained item by printing on the bag, advertising notes and the like is not covered. so it is clearly visible.

According to the invention is now the one used with the plastic bag Card body formed large area, so that on the front - and if necessary, also on the back - corresponding references to Art and nature of the goods, their use and their price can be attached. In this case, the goods are labeled with quickly printable labels on the card body.

So the main advantage is that inventory is now essential becomes smaller because neutral for any objects to be packed Plastic bags are used in the item to be packed is included and that the actual association between the subject and the information belonging to the object by printing on the Card body itself is done.

This type of packaging technology requires that the plastic bag is detachably or only detachably attached to the card body by destruction.

For such a detachable or a removal-safe connection of the There are a number of plastic bags with the card body Embodiments, all individually and in combination are claimed among each other as essential to the invention.

In a simple embodiment it is provided that the retaining tab can be locked to the mounting surface on the card body by means of locking means.

Here, one or more retaining tabs can each have a horizontal one or vertical swivel axis articulated on one side of the card body, wherein the pivot axis preferably by a film hinge between the retaining tab and the card body is formed. This requires that the card body and the retaining tab are integrally connected to one another, and preferably made of a plastic material or a multilayer plastic material consist.

With this choice of material, the card body can be manufactured in Connection with the holding tab attached to it very easily Film hinge to be trained with.

Opposite the film hinge are corresponding on the retaining tabs Arranged locking means with which these with the card body, detachable or fixed can be locked.

Such locking means can be designed differently. In a preferred embodiment is a latching tab on the free, pivotable end of the retaining tab is arranged, and the card body engages on the narrow side and can be locked in this way.

In addition to locking means arranged on the end face of the retaining tab, however, can also arranged on the surface of the retaining tab locking means be together with associated counter-locking means on the card body Act.

It is otherwise irrelevant to the success of the teaching according to the invention whether one or more retaining tabs are arranged on the card body, and whether this over a horizontal or about a vertical axis over each Film hinges are attached to the card body.

Of course, the film hinges can also be omitted and that Retaining tabs can be locked as separate parts with the card body.

Another embodiment of the locking means described exists For example, that one or more locking pins on the retaining tab are arranged with corresponding recesses in the card body work together.

Of course, for all locking means described, the Kinematic inversion claimed as essential to the invention, d. H. - based on the embodiment described here - that also on Card body the locking pin can be arranged with associated Interacting recesses in the retaining tab work together.

In addition to such locking means, there are of course also others Locking devices such as Velcro fasteners, snap fasteners and the like more. Instead of detachable or fixed locking means are also insoluble connections, such as friction welding connections, Adhesive connections and the like, which must be destroyed when opened.

So preferably after the plastic bag or the bag Card body attached with the help of locking tabs provided with locking means is provided in the simplest form that the bag or the Bag is simply pulled through the retaining tab and - if he has an upper sealing bead - with this sealing bead after protrudes from the holding tab at the top, so that its flat part simply passes through the clamping gap is clamped by the card body and Retaining tab is formed and the beaded thickening at the top of the Bag or the bag protrudes from the top of the holding tab and there on the Holding tab rests.

The clamping gap formed by the holding tab and the card body is therefore narrower than the sealing bead on the edge of the plastic bag, so that this is held securely in the retaining tab.

In another embodiment of the invention, it is provided that corresponding recesses at the top of the bag or pocket are provided, the associated pin on the retaining tab of the Card body work together and are penetrated by these pins. The In this exemplary embodiment, the retaining tab has two different latching means, namely once the edge-side locking means - formed from a front on the Fasten the retaining tab and connect it to this in one piece Locking tab and in addition from the holding tab materially connected locking pin which the recesses in the Reach through the plastic bag, thereby holding the plastic bag and in Closure state snapped into assigned recesses in the card body are. The detents can be easily adjusted depending on the purpose open or fixed for theft reasons and can only be removed by destruction be trained.

Instead of several locking pins arranged at a distance from each other however, only a single locking knob on the inside of the retaining tab be provided in an assigned, elongated and approximately slit-shaped trained locking recess engages in the card body.

This elongated and approximately horizontally directed locking knob engages then through a correspondingly adapted recess in the upper one Area of the bag or bag so that it passes through this additional holding means in the clamping gap between the retaining tab and the card body is held.

A particular advantage of the invention results from the possibility of Use of a guarantee label. If you lock the Retaining tab with the card body flush with the other surfaces of the Designed hanger, you can over the entire front surface of the Hanger and over the holding tab that is locked with the hanger Stick the guarantee label that covers the retaining tab.

When opening the retaining tab, the label must be damaged, so that in the Sales room is recognizable very quickly when the customer is in unwanted Way a plastic bag with foreign content with a hanger connected.

It has already been mentioned at the beginning that the invention does not have the task just to hold plastic bags with a smooth edge, but also Plastic bag with a sealing bead on the edge.

For this purpose, the invention provides that the clamping surface between the retaining tab and the card body is penetrated by a horizontal transverse groove in which the beaded closure edge of the plastic bag to be held is inserted becomes.

This results in an improved mounting of the plastic bag in the Clamping gap, because in addition to the holder in the clamping gap, the holder the sealing bead in the transverse groove is added.

In this embodiment, too, it can be provided that the Retaining tab with additional locking means and / or holding means Reaches through plastic bag.

In particular, it is preferred if on the inside of the retaining tab corresponding mandrels are arranged, the associated recesses in the Card body lie opposite.

The plastic bag to be held is inserted into the transverse groove with its sealing bead inserted in the area of the clamping gap with the holding tab open; this will then closed, so that then the mandrels arranged on the retaining tab push the plastic bag through and into the assigned recesses in the Penetrate the card body and are fixed there.

Of course, the mandrels described can be added Latching means between the retaining tab and the card body are supplemented enforce also assigned recesses in the plastic bag and hold them in addition.

In a simplified embodiment, however, these mandrels can also omitted and it can only be provided that the sealing bead Plastic bag in an assigned transverse groove in the clamping gap between Card body and holding tab is held.

It is pointed out again that all previously described Retaining means and locking means are interchangeable and individually for themselves and also in combination with each other on a hanger could be.

The subject matter of the present invention does not only result from the subject of the individual claims, but also from the Combination of the individual claims.

All disclosed in the file, including the summary Information and features, especially those shown in the drawings spatial education are claimed as essential to the invention, insofar as they individually or in combination are new compared to the prior art.

The hanger 1 according to Figure 1 to 3 preferably consists of a Plastic material, which can be single-layer or multi-layer can. There is a relatively flat card body 2 in the lower one Area a clamping receptacle for plastic bags 16 to be held is trained.

The clamp receptacle according to Figures 1 to 3 consists of a retaining tab 11, one-sided via a film hinge 10 with the material of the card body 2 is connected and which is pivotable in a vertical axis on the Side edge of the card body is articulated.

At the free end of the retaining tab 11, a locking tab 13 is formed, which in locked state engages the side edge 14 of the card body 2.

In the card body 2, an upper recess 3 is arranged through the in known way reaches through a hook, so that the hanger 1 on a certain presentation space can be attached.

Different designs of plastic bags 16 in the Clamping gap between the inside of the retaining tab 11 and the associated one Fastening surface 7 are clamped on the card body 2, but also thinner Plastic bag.

The general description has already indicated that that especially the holder of plastic bags in the simplest way by a plastic bag with an upper sealing bead is used, which protrudes beyond the edge 8 of the mounting surface 7, so that when closing the retaining tab 11, the sealing bead above the Edge 8 lies. As a result, the plastic bag 16 is against shifting secured below.

In the following description, the holder of a plastic bag 16 described. For the sake of simplicity, the bracket will be a thinner one Plastic bag not shown in detail, although this bracket is the same can be trained.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, however, there are still further holding means for the plastic bag 16 is provided.

Here, locking pins 12 are integrally formed on the inside of the retaining tab correspond with assigned recesses 9 in the card body 2.

In the head part 17 and opening area of the plastic bag 16 are now in accordance with Figure 4 assigned recesses 18 are present, which with the locking pin 12th correspond.

When closing the retaining tab 11 (this is in the direction of arrow 35 to the Film hinge 10 pivoted) thus engage the locking pin 12 through Recesses 18 through the plastic bag 16 and this is additional held in the clamping gap between the retaining tab 11 and the mounting surface 7.

A particular advantage arises when the fastening surface 7 jumps back against the front 4 of the card body, so that at closed retaining tab 11 according to Figure 2, the card body 2 a forms a continuous, flat surface.

According to FIG. 2, a label 6 can now be stuck onto this surface also covers the area of the retaining tab 11, so that when the Retaining tab 11, the label 6 must be damaged.

On label 6 on front side 4 there are corresponding references the type and nature of the goods packed in the plastic bag 16 appropriate.
