Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackungsschachtel nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a packaging box according to the Preamble of claim 1.

Aus der WO 96/33927 ist eine Verpackungsschachtel der eingangs genannten Art bekannt.From WO 96/33927 is a packaging box at the beginning known type known.

Die Erfindung ist auf eine Verpackungsschachtel gerichtet, die grundsätzlich so aufgebaut ist, wie die bekannte Verpakkungsschachtel. Die Schwenkklappe weist eine Spenderkammer auf, die ein seitliches Abgeben oder Spenden von einer oder mehreren Tabletten durch eine entsprechende Abgabeöffnung aufweist. Hier, wo die Abgabeöffnung vorgesehen ist, fehlt es praktisch an der entsprechenden Seitenwand der Spenderkammer. Die Verschlußklappe mit der Spenderkammer kann zum Gebrauch mindestens zwei Stellungen einnehmen, eine Schließstellung und eine Spenderstellung. Eine Führungszunge, die dem Scharnier gegenüberliegt, begrenzt die Spenderkammer in der Spenderstellung und dient der Führung beim Schwenken der Verschlußklappe. Bei der bekannten Verpackungsschachtel ist ein Rastmittel vorgesehen, das durch eine Längsrippe gebildet ist, die sich an der Behälterinnenwand, einer der größeren Seitenwände, praktisch über die gesamte Länge erstreckt. Diese Längsrippe kooperiert mit entsprechenden Vertiefungen an der Verschlußklappe, um die beiden gewünschten Stellungen festzulegen, wobei ein merkliches und auch hörbares Einrasten erfolgt. Durch die Längsrippe wird der Innenraum des Behälters in zwei Behälterkammern aufgeteilt, so daß nur kleine oder dünne Tabletten von dem einen Innenraum in den anderen gelangen können.The invention is directed to a packaging box which is basically constructed like the well-known packaging box. The swivel flap has a dispenser chamber on who is a side donation or donation of one or several tablets through a corresponding dispensing opening having. Here, where the delivery opening is provided, is missing it practically on the corresponding side wall of the donor chamber. The closure flap with the donor chamber can Use at least two positions, one closed position and a donor position. A guide tongue that opposite the hinge, limits the dispensing chamber in the dispenser position and serves as a guide when swiveling the Flap. In the known packaging box a locking means is provided, which is formed by a longitudinal rib is located on the inside wall of the container, one of the larger ones Side walls, practically the entire length. This longitudinal rib cooperates with corresponding depressions on the flap to the two desired positions to establish, with a noticeable and audible click he follows. The interior of the Container divided into two container chambers, so that only small or thin tablets from one interior to the other others can get.

Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verpakkungsschachtel der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die einfach aufgebaut ist, zuverlässig die gewünschten Stellungen der Verschlußklappe einnimmt, und bei der praktisch der gesamte Innenraum zur Aufnahme von Tabletten zur Verfügung steht.The invention is based on the object, a packaging box of the type mentioned at the outset to create the is simply constructed, reliably the desired positions the flap occupies, and practically the entire interior available for taking tablets stands.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch das Kennzeichen des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing part of claim 1 solved.

Dadurch, daß die Vertiefungen, die zusammen mit dem Vorsprung das Rastmittel bilden, auf der Behälterinnenwand ausgebildet sind, sind hier keine Erhöhungen oder sonstige Materialansammlungen vorhanden, die die freie Bewegung der Tabletten behindern können. Der gesamte Innenraum ist glatt, so daß sich die Tabletten entsprechend frei bewegen können.The fact that the recesses that together with the projection form the locking means, formed on the inner wall of the container there are no increases or other material accumulations here present the free movement of the tablets can hinder. The entire interior is smooth, so that the tablets can move freely.

Die Vertiefungen sind in der Seitenwand ausgebildet, die mehr oder weniger dick sein kann. Wenn es erwünscht ist, eine zusätzliche Tiefe für die Vertiefungen zur Verfügung zu stellen, kann die Verpackungsschachtel so ausgebildet sein, wie in Anspruch 2 angegeben. Die Vertiefungen liegen dann in einem geringfügig verdickten Abschnitt, der in besonders vorteilhafterweise so ausgebildet sein kann, wie in Anspruch 3 definiert. Durch diese Wellenform der Gleitfläche wird die Bewegung des Vorsprunges aus und in die Vertiefungen unterstützt.The depressions are formed in the side wall, the can be more or less thick. If desired, one additional depth for the wells is available too the packaging box can be designed so as stated in claim 2. The wells are then in a slightly thickened section, which in particular can advantageously be designed as in claim 3 defined. Through this waveform of the sliding surface the Movement of the projection out and into the recesses is supported.

Wenn es erwünscht ist, kann die Verpackungsschachtel so ausgebildet sein, wie in Anspruch 4 angegeben. Die dritte Stellung gibt nur eine verkleinerte Abgabeöffnung für entsprechend kleinere Tabletten frei. If desired, the packaging box can be designed in this way be as indicated in claim 4. The third position gives only a reduced delivery opening for accordingly smaller tablets free.

Wenn der Vorsprung unmittelbar angrenzend an dem Boden der Spenderkammer angeordnet ist, dann bewegt sich die entsprechende Wand mit der zum Einsatz kommenden Vertiefung bei der Bewegung des Vorsprunges in und aus der Vertiefung geringfügig nach außen. Es findet ein sogenanntes "Aufblähen" statt. Dieses kann unerwünscht sein, insbesondere wenn mehrere Schachteln nebeneinander liegend gefüllt werden sollen, da sich die Ausdehnung durch das Aufblähen bei mehreren Schachteln dann entsprechend addiert. Wenn die Verpackungsschachtel so ausgebildet ist wie in Anspruch 5 angegeben, dann findet eine Bewegung der Seitenwand mit den Vertiefungen nicht statt, da der Vorsprung federnd durch die Ausbildung des Federschlitzes gelagert ist und sich nach innen bewegen kann. Die Seitenwand der Spenderkammer bewegt sich dann bei der entsprechenden Bewegung des Vorsprunges in und aus der zugeordneten Vertiefung nach innen.If the projection is immediately adjacent to the bottom of the Dispenser chamber is arranged, then the corresponding moves Wall with the recess used in the Slight movement of the projection in and out of the recess outward. So-called "inflation" takes place. This can be undesirable, especially if there are several Boxes should be filled lying next to each other there the expansion due to the swelling of several boxes then added accordingly. If the packaging box is formed as specified in claim 5, then finds a movement of the side wall with the depressions not because the lead is resilient through training of the spring slot is stored and move inwards can. The side wall of the donor chamber then moves the corresponding movement of the projection in and out of assigned depression inside.

Schließlich ist es noch möglich, die Verpackungsschachtel so auszubilden, wie in Anspruch 6 angegeben. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine Verpackungsschachtel mit zwei Spenderkammern, die als Ausführungsform für Links- und Rechtshänder angesehen werden kann. Es steht also immer eine aufklappbare Spenderkammer zur Verfügung, ob der Benutzer nun ein Links- oder ein Rechtshänder ist. Es ist aber auch möglich, den Behälter zu teilen und unterschiedliche Tabletten aufzunehmen. Dann ist eine Verschlußklappe mit Spenderkammer jeweils für eine Tablettensorte zuständig. Bei dieser Ausführungsform werden die beiden Teile, d.h. der die Verschlußklappen aufweisende obere Teil und der Behälter, getrennt durch Spritzgießen hergestellt und anschließend durch eine Rastverbindung miteinander verbunden.Finally, it is still possible to do the packaging box like this train as specified in claim 6. This is what it is about a packaging box with two dispenser chambers, which is regarded as an embodiment for left and right-handers can be. So there is always a hinged dispenser chamber available whether the user is a left or is a right-hander. But it is also possible to use the container to share and take different tablets. Then is a closure flap with dispenser chamber for one Tablet type responsible. In this embodiment the two parts, i.e. the one with the flaps upper part and the container, separated by injection molding manufactured and then by a snap connection with each other connected.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung unter Hinweis auf die Zeichnung anhand verschiedener Ausführungsbeispiele näher erläutert.In the following the invention with reference to the drawing explained in more detail using various exemplary embodiments.

Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte Verpackungsschachtel ist einstückig durch Spritzgießen aus Kunststoff hergestellt. Die in den Fig. 1 bis 5 dargestellte Ausführungsform besteht aus einem Behälter 1 zum Aufnehmen der Tabletten. Die größeren Seitenwände sind mit 5 bezeichnet, wobei in den Darstellungen der Fig. 1 bis 4 die "vordere" Seitenwand zur besseren Veranschaulichung fehlt.The packaging box shown in the drawing is made in one piece by injection molding from plastic. The embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 exists from a container 1 for receiving the tablets. The bigger ones Side walls are denoted by 5, in the illustrations 1 to 4, the "front" side wall for better Illustration is missing.

An dem Behälter 1 ist durch ein Scharnier 4, bei dem es sich um ein Filmscharnier handelt, eine Verschlußklappe 2 befestigt, die um das Scharnier schwenkbar ist. Die Scharnierachse verläuft senkrecht zu den beiden größeren Seitenwänden des Behälters 5. In der Verschlußklappe 2 ist eine Spenderkammer 3 ausgebildet, in die die Tabletten aus der Behälterkammer gelangen. Die eine Seitenwand der Spenderkammer fehlt, so daß bei Einnahme einer entsprechenden Spenderstellung ein seitliches Spenden oder Entnehmen möglich ist. Es sind zwei Tabletten unterschiedlicher Größe dargestellt. Eine Ausführungsform ist normalerweise für eine Tablettengröße vorgesehen. Ein mit 12 bezeichneter variabler Einsatz ermöglicht eine Anpassung an unterschiedlich große Tabletten. An der nicht fehlenden Seitenwand der Verschlußklappe, d.h. an der Seitenwand, die der Spenderöffnung gegenüberliegt, ist ein Vorsprung 6 vorgesehen, der nach außen über die Seitenwand vorsteht. Diesem Vorsprung 6 sind bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform drei Vertiefungen 7, 7' und 7" zugeordnet, die an der Behälterinnenwand vorgesehen sind. Der Abstand der Vertiefungen 7, 7', 7" zu der Scharnierachse entspricht dem Schwenkradius des Vorsprunges 6, so daß dieser wahlweise in die gewünschte Vertiefung einrasten kann. Weiterhin ist die Verschlußklappe auch in die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Nachfüllstellung schwenkbar, in der der Vorsprung 6 nicht in den Vertiefungen 7, 7', 7'' liegt. Die Vertiefungen 7 liegen auf einem verdickten Abschnitt 11, wie es der Fig. 5 zu entnehmen ist. Dieser verdickte Abschnitt stellt ausreichend Fleisch oder Tiefe für die Vertiefungen zur Verfügung. Auf der Gleitfläche dieses verdickten Abschnittes 11 für den Vorsprung 6 ist eine Wellenkontur vorgesehen, durch die das Ein- und Ausrasten des Vorsprunges in die gewünschte Vertiefung erleichtert und unterstützt wird.On the container 1 is by a hinge 4, which is is a film hinge, a closure flap 2 is attached, which is pivotable around the hinge. The hinge axis runs perpendicular to the two larger side walls of the container 5. In the closure flap 2 there is a dispenser chamber 3 formed, into which the tablets from the container chamber reach. One side wall of the donor chamber is missing, so when taking a corresponding donor position lateral donation or removal is possible. It two tablets of different sizes are shown. A The embodiment is usually for a tablet size intended. A variable use designated 12 enables an adaptation to tablets of different sizes. On the not missing side wall of the closure flap, i.e. on the side wall opposite the dispenser opening a projection 6 is provided, which extends outwards over the side wall protrudes. This projection 6 are shown in the Embodiment assigned three recesses 7, 7 'and 7 ", which are provided on the inner wall of the container. The distance of the depressions 7, 7 ', 7 "corresponds to the hinge axis the pivot radius of the projection 6, so that this is optional can snap into the desired recess. Furthermore is the closure flap also in the refill position shown in Fig. 1 pivotable, in which the projection 6 is not in the Wells 7, 7 ', 7' '. The depressions 7 lie on a thickened section 11, as can be seen in FIG. 5 is. This thickened section represents sufficient Meat or depth available for the wells. On the sliding surface of this thickened section 11 for the Projection 6 has a wave contour through which the Snap the projection into and out of the desired recess is facilitated and supported.

Angrenzend an das Scharnier 4 befindet sich an der Verschlußklappe eine in Schwenkrichtung nach vorne schräg zulaufendeAdjacent to the hinge 4 is located on the closure flap an inclined towards the front in the swivel direction

Führung 9, um die Schließbewegung der Verschlußklappe in Richtung auf den Behälter 1 zu unterstützen und dafür zu sorgen, daß die Verschlußklappe so wie gewünscht in die Behälteröffnung geschwenkt wird. Eine Zunge 10 an der dem Scharnier 4 gegenüberliegenden Schmalseite sorgt ebenfalls für eine Führung und gleichzeitig für eine Begrenzung der Spenderkammer 3 in diesem Bereich. Guide 9 to the closing movement of the flap in Support towards container 1 and for that too ensure that the flap is inserted into the container opening as desired is pivoted. A tongue 10 on the Hinge 4 opposite narrow side also ensures for leadership and at the same time for limiting the Donor chamber 3 in this area.

Beim Betrachten der Fig. 1 bis 4 wird deutlich, daß verschiedene Stellungen eingenommen werden können. In Fig. 1 ist die Füllstellung dargestellt, d.h. die Verschlußklappe 2 ist vollständig zur Seite geschwenkt. Wenn der Behälter mit Tabletten gefüllt ist, wird die Verschlußklappe 2 in Schließstellung bewegt, wobei die Führungen 9 und die Zunge 10 dafür sorgen, daß die gewünschte Bewegung in die Behälteröffnung hinein erfolgt.When looking at FIGS. 1 to 4 it is clear that different Positions can be taken. In Fig. 1 the filling position is shown, i.e. the flap 2 is completely swung to the side. If the container with Tablets is filled, the closure flap 2 in Closed position moves, the guides 9 and the tongue 10 ensure that the desired movement in the container opening into it.

In Fig. 4 ist die Schließstellung gezeigt. Der Vorsprung 6 liegt in der Vertiefung 7. Durch eine entsprechende Handhabe wie bei einem Feuerzeug wird die Verschlußklappe aus dieser Stellung mit Hilfe einer Riffelung 8 in eine der beiden Spenderstellungen nach Fig. 2 und 3 geschwenkt. In Fig. 3 wird die größtmögliche Spenderoffenstellung eingenommen. Die Abgabeöffnung ist entsprechend groß, so daß mehrere oder größere Tabletten entnommen werden können. Der Vorsprung 6 ist in die Vertiefung 7" eingerastet.4 the closed position is shown. The lead 6 lies in the recess 7. By an appropriate handle like a lighter, the flap is made from it Position with the help of a corrugation 8 in one of the two 2 and 3 pivoted dispenser positions. 3 the greatest possible donor disclosure will be taken. The Delivery opening is correspondingly large, so that several or larger tablets can be removed. The lead 6 is snapped into the recess 7 ".

Die Stellung nach Fig. 2 ist eine Zwischenstellung, in der der Vorsprung 6 in der Vertiefung 7' liegt. Die Abgabeöffnung ist entsprechend kleiner, so daß nur kleinere Tabletten entnommen werden können.2 is an intermediate position in which the projection 6 lies in the recess 7 '. The delivery opening is correspondingly smaller, so that only smaller tablets can be removed.

Bei der Schwenkbewegung gleitet der Vorsprung 6 auf der wellenförmigen Gleitfläche des verdickten Abschnittes 11.During the pivoting movement, the projection 6 slides on the undulating one Sliding surface of the thickened section 11.

In Fig. 6 ist eine geringfügig geänderte Ausführungsform dargestellt. Bei der Ausführungsform nach den Fig. 1 bis 5 sitzt der Vorsprung 6 auf der seitenwand der Spenderkammer in der Höhe des Bodens. Hierdurch bedingt bewegt sich die Seitenwand 5 des Behälters 1 bei der Bewegung des Vorsprunges 6 aus und in eine Vertiefung 7,7' oder 7" geringfügig nach außen. Wenn dieses Aufblähen nicht erwünscht ist, dann kann, wie bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 6, ein Federschlitz 13 unmittelbar angrenzend an den Vorsprung 6 in den Seiten der Spenderkammer vorgesehen sein. Der Vorsprung ist dann so losgelöst von dem Boden angeordnet, daß er sich federnd nach innen bewegen kann, wenn eine Bewegung aus und in eine Vertiefung 7,7' oder 7" erfolgt. In diesem Falle wird die Seitenwand 5 des Behälters 1 bei dieser Bewegung nicht nach außen gedrückt, d.h. aufgebläht.6 is a slightly modified embodiment shown. In the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 5 the projection 6 sits on the side wall of the dispenser chamber at the height of the floor. This causes the Side wall 5 of the container 1 during the movement of the projection 6 out and into a recess 7,7 'or 7 "slightly outward.
