Description

Verkaufseinheit aus Grundelement und Dekorationselement Sales unit consisting of basic element and decorative element
Die Erfindung richtet sich auf eine Verkaufseinheit eines Νicht-Lebensmittel- Haushaltsartikels in Form eines als Spielzeug ausgeprägten, handhabbaren und brauchbaren Gegenstandes, der aus einem Verkaufs-Grundelement mit Mantelfläche und Verschlußkappe sowie einem daran lösbar angebrachten, den Eindruck des Gegenstandes als Spielzeug prägenden Dekorationselement besteht.The invention is directed to a sales unit of a Νicht food household article in the form of a pronounced, manageable and usable object as a toy, which consists of a basic sales element with a jacket surface and a closure cap and a detachably attached decorative element that shapes the impression of the object as a toy ,
Im Bereich der Lebensmittel ist es bekannt, insbesondere Genußmittel wie Scho- kolade mit einer Saisonverpackung zu versehen. Das Verkaufs-Grundelement, in diesem Fall eine Schokoladentafel, wird beispielsweise mit einer Umverpackung in Form eines Osterhasen versehen. Bekannt ist es auch, Kunststoff-Spielzeuge mit einer Schokoladenfüllung zu verkaufen. Bei den sogenannten "Überraschungseiern" ist es bekannt, diese mit einer der Saison entsprechenden Teil- Verpackung zu versehen, beispielsweise mit einem aufgeklebten Dekorationselement in Form eines Hasenkopfes mit langen Hasenohren.In the field of food, it is known to provide luxury items such as chocolate with seasonal packaging in particular. The basic sales element, in this case a chocolate bar, is provided with an outer packaging in the form of an Easter bunny, for example. It is also known to sell plastic toys with a chocolate filling. In the case of the so-called "surprise eggs", it is known to provide them with partial packaging appropriate to the season, for example with a glued-on decorative element in the form of a rabbit head with long rabbit ears.
Im Bereich der Νicht-Lebensmittel-Haushaltsartikel sind Dekorationselemente in Form von Papier-Banderolen o. dgl. bekannt. Im Bereich der Schreibwaren ist es bekannt, Bleistifte am oberen Ende mit einem aufgesteckten spielzeugähnlichen Dekorationselement, beispielsweise einer Spielfigur, zu versehen. Die Spielfigur kann für sich vom Grundelement abgenommen und als Spielzeug benutzt werden.Decorative elements in the form of paper banderoles or the like are known in the field of non-food household articles. In the field of stationery, it is known to provide pencils at the upper end with an attached toy-like decorative element, for example a toy figure. The play figure can be taken off the basic element and used as a toy.
Eine gattungsgemäße Verkaufseinheit ist aus der US 6,237,787 Bl bekannt. Dort wird ein flaschenförmiger Behälter vollkommen oder mit Ausnahme des Verschluß- und/oder Bodenbereiches von einem Dekorationselement umhüllt. Das Dekorationselement hat beispielsweise die Form und das Erscheinungsbild eines Bären. Bei diesem Stand der Technik überdeckt das Dekorationselement vollständig das Verkaufs-Grundelement, so daß dieses für den Benutzer oder Verbraucher nicht mehr sichtbar ist. Häufig ist es aber erwünscht, daß das Verkaufs-Grundelement für den Käufer oder Benutzer noch erkennbar ist, damit eine Produktidentifϊkation bzw. Produkterkennbarkeit gegeben ist.A generic sales unit is known from US 6,237,787 B1. There, a bottle-shaped container is completely or with the exception of the closure and / or bottom area covered by a decorative element. The decorative element has, for example, the shape and appearance of a bear. In this prior art, the decorative element completely covers the basic sales element, so that it is no longer visible to the user or consumer. However, it is often desirable that the basic sales element is still recognizable to the buyer or user, so that product identification or recognizability is given.
Weiterhin ist aus der US 4,749,104 ein an der Wand befestigbarer Flüssigkeitsspender bekannt, der im Anschluß an seinen Gebrauch nachFurthermore, from US 4,749,104 a liquid dispenser which can be fastened to the wall is known, which after its use
Entleerung zu einem Spielzeug in Form einer Rakete umgebaut werden kann. Erst dann werden an dem Flüssigkeitsspender bzw. -behälter Tragflächen oder Flügel darstellende Bauelemente angebracht. Es liegt somit keine Verkaufseinheit vor, die zum Zeitpunkt des Verkaufes aus einem Verkaufs-Grundelement mit daran angebrachten spielzeugähnlichen Dekorationselementen besteht.Emptying can be converted into a toy in the form of a rocket. Only then are wings or wings attached to the liquid dispenser or container performing components attached. There is therefore no sales unit that at the time of the sale consists of a basic sales element with toy-like decorative elements attached to it.
Weiterhin offenbart die DE 8 612 862 Ul eine Zahnpastaspender, der aus zwei mittels eines Schraubgewindes relativ zueinander verdrehbaren Behälterteilen besteht, wobei das obere der beiden Behälterteile als dekorative Tierfigur ausgebildet ist. Das hierbei ein Dekorationselement bildende obere Behälterteil ist aber nicht von dem unteren Teil lösbar.Furthermore, DE 8 612 862 U1 discloses a toothpaste dispenser which consists of two container parts which can be rotated relative to one another by means of a screw thread, the upper of the two container parts being designed as a decorative animal figure. The upper container part, which forms a decorative element, cannot be detached from the lower part.
Des weiteren offenbaren die BE 54 28 39 und DE 7 537615 Ul wiederum Verkaufseinheiten, bei denen das Grundelement vollständig von dem Dekorationselement umhüllt ist.Furthermore, BE 54 28 39 and DE 7 537615 Ul again disclose sales units in which the basic element is completely encased by the decorative element.
Der Lehre liegt das Problem zugrunde, bei einer aus Verkaufs-Grundelement und daran lösbar angebrachtem Dekorationselement bestehenden Verkaufseinheit eine den Kaufanreiz bei der Warenpräsentation im Verkaufsregal unterstützende, ausreichende Erkennbarkeit des Verkaufs-Grundelementes zu gewährleisten.The teaching is based on the problem of ensuring, in the case of a sales unit consisting of a basic sales element and a decorative element detachably attached thereto, that the basic sales element is sufficiently recognizable to support the incentive to present goods on the sales shelf.
Bei einer Verkaufseinheit der eingangs bezeichneten Art wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das Dekorationselement die Mantelfläche des Grundelementes nur zum Teil längs eines Mantelumfangabschnittes umgreift, so daß das Grundelement einen optisch wesentlichen Bestandteil des Gesamtgegenstandes bildet.In a sales unit of the type described in the introduction, this object is achieved according to the invention in that the decorative element only partially encompasses the outer surface of the basic element along a peripheral circumferential section, so that the basic element forms an optically essential component of the overall object.
Hierdurch wird erreicht, daß bei einer Präsentation der Verkaufseinheit im Verkaufsregal dem potentiellen Käufer das wesentliche Produkt - nämlich das Verkaufs-Grundelement mit dem darin befindlichen Inhalt - sofort, trotz des dekorativen Beiwerkes, ersichtlich und erkennbar ist. Etwa auf einen bestimmten Hersteller hinweisende, besondere Verpackungsformen des Verkaufs- Grundelementes gehen somit nicht verloren und können weiterhin verkaufsfördernd genutzt werden.This ensures that when the sales unit is presented on the sales shelf, the essential product - namely the basic sales element with the content contained therein - is immediately visible and recognizable to the potential buyer, despite the decorative accessories. For example, special packaging forms of the basic sales element that refer to a particular manufacturer are not lost and can continue to be used to promote sales.
Wichtig ist aber auch, daß dabei und trotzdem die aus dem Grundelement und dem damit verbundenen Dekorationselement bestehende Verkaufseinheit insgesamt einen als solchen handhabbaren und brauchbaren Gesamtgegenstand, insbesondere insgesamt ein Spielzeug bildet. Wesentlich ist, daß die Verkaufseinheit als solche als Gesamtgegenstand, insbesondere also als Spielzeug, gehandhabt werden kann. Die beiden Teile der Verkaufseinheit, also das Grundelement und das Dekorationselement, haben somit dann, wenn sie zusammengefügt sind, einen Zweitnutzen, nämlich den des Gesamtgegenstandes, insbesondere den Nutzen als Spielzeug.It is also important, however, that the sales unit consisting of the basic element and the associated decorative element forms an overall object that can be handled and used as such, in particular a toy. It is essential that the sales unit as such can be handled as a whole, in particular as a toy. The two parts of the sales unit, that is to say the basic element and the decorative element, therefore, when they are joined together, have a second use, namely that of the overall object, in particular the use as a toy.
Interessant ist bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung überdies, daß auch ein Grundelement, dessen Inhalt verbraucht worden ist, wieder mit dem Dekorationselement zusammengefügt werden kann. Man kann so das verbrauchte Grundelement in Verbindung mit dem Dekorationselement weiter als Gesamtgegenstand in seiner Zweitfunktion, insbesondere als Spielzeug nutzen. Auch kann man einzeln, ohne Dekorationselemente nachgekaufte Grundelemente mit dem bereits vorhandenen Dekorationselement kombinierenIt is also interesting with the solution according to the invention that even a basic element, the content of which has been consumed, can be put back together with the decorative element. You can continue to use the used basic element in connection with the decorative element as an overall object in its secondary function, in particular as a toy. You can also combine individually purchased basic elements without decorative elements with the existing decorative element
Bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der zuvor erläuterten Lehre sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Preferred refinements and developments of the teaching explained above are the subject of the dependent claims.
Besondere Bedeutung kommt einer Ausführung der erfindungsgemäßen Verkaufseinheit zu, bei der das Grundelement ein stabartiger Klebestift ist, das De- korationselement aus Kunststoffmaterial besteht und die Form eines Weltraumgleiters aufweist und von der Seite auf die Mantelfläche des Klebestifts aufgesteckt bzw. aufgeclipst ist.Of particular importance is an embodiment of the sales unit according to the invention in which the basic element is a rod-like glue stick, the decoration element consists of plastic material and has the shape of a space glider and is attached or clipped onto the lateral surface of the glue stick from the side.
Besondere Bedeutung kommt auch einer weiteren Variante der Verkaufseinheit zu, bei der das Grundelement ein stabartiger Klebestift ist, das Dekorationselement aus Kunststoffmaterial besteht und die Form eines Astronautenhelms, vorzugsweise mit Raketenrucksack, aufweist und bei der das Dekorationselement zweiteilig ausgeführt ist, wobei die Teile den stabartigen Klebestift von oben her zwischen sich aufnehmend zusammengefügt, insbesondere zusammengesteckt oder zusammengeclipst sind.Another variant of the sales unit is particularly important, in which the basic element is a stick-like glue stick, the decorative element consists of plastic material and has the shape of an astronaut helmet, preferably with a rocket backpack, and in which the decorative element is made in two parts, the parts being the rod-like Glue stick assembled from above between them, in particular plugged together or clipped together.

Andere Grundelemente 1 können eingesetzt werden, Beispiele werden im weiteren Verlauf der Beschreibung erläutert werden.1 shows such a basic element 1 using the example of a rod-like glue stick for gluing paper. Such pens are widely used. Other basic elements 1 can be used, examples will be explained in the further course of the description.
Fig. 2 zeigt ein spielzeugähnliches Dekorationselement 2 und Fig. 3 macht deutlich, wie nun die Verkaufseinheit aus dem Grundelement 1 und dem damit ver- bundenen Dekorationselement 2 insgesamt einen als solchen handhabbaren und brauchbaren Gesamtgegenstand 3 bildet. Die Handhabbarkeit des Gesamtgegenstandes 3 ergibt sich ohne weiteres aus der Darstellung. Die Brauchbarkeit des Gesamtgegenstandes 3 liegt im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel darin, daß dieser ein Spielzeug, im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ein Weltraumfahrzeug bildet. Ein Kind kann mit einem solchen Spielzeug insgesamt spielen.FIG. 2 shows a toy-like decoration element 2 and FIG. 3 makes it clear how the sales unit now forms an overall object 3, which can be handled and used as such, from the base element 1 and the decoration element 2 connected to it. The manageability of the overall object 3 is readily apparent from the illustration. The usefulness of the The overall object 3 in the present exemplary embodiment is that it forms a toy, in the present exemplary embodiment a spacecraft. A child can play with such a toy as a whole.
Zum Stand der Technik ist im allgemeinen Teil der Beschreibung bereits erläutert worden, daß dort Verkaufseinheiten aus Grundelement 1 und Dekorationselement 2 bekannt sind, bei denen das Dekorationselement 2 praktisch die komplette Verpackung für das Grundelement 1 bildet.The state of the art has already been explained in the general part of the description that sales units consisting of basic element 1 and decorative element 2 are known, in which the decorative element 2 forms practically the complete packaging for the basic element 1.
Interessant für die dargestellte Verkaufseinheit ist hierbei, daß das Dekorationselement 2 1 die Mantelfläche 4 des Grundelementes 1 nur zum Teil längs eines Mantelumfangabschnittes umschließt bzw. umgreift, so daß das Grundelement 1 einen optisch wesentlichen Bestandteil des Gesamtgegenstandes 3 bildet. Das Grundelement 1, also der Nicht-Lebensmittel-Haushaltsartikel, ist somit Gestaltungs- und Konstruktionselement des Gesamtgegenstandes 3, hier in der Form des Spielzeugs.It is interesting for the sales unit shown here that the decorative element 2 1 only partially surrounds or encompasses the lateral surface 4 of the basic element 1 along a peripheral circumferential section, so that the basic element 1 forms an optically essential component of the overall object 3. The basic element 1, that is to say the non-food household article, is thus the design and construction element of the overall object 3, here in the form of the toy.
Wie das dargestellte und besonders bevorzugte Ausfuhrungsbeispiel zeigt, realisiert sich die erfindungsgemäße Verkaufseinheit besonders vorteilhaft mit einem stabartigen Grundelement 1, das vorzugsweise eine kreiszylindrische Grundform hat. Der hier dargestellte Klebestift stellt ein solches, besonders passendes Grundelement 1 dar. Das dargestellte und bevorzugte Ausführungsbeispiel zeigt das Grundelement 1 in der besonders bevorzugten Ausführung als Klebestift mit Mantelfläche 4, Schraubabschnitt 5 am unteren Ende und Verschlußkappe 6 am oberen Ende.As the illustrated and particularly preferred exemplary embodiment shows, the sales unit according to the invention is realized particularly advantageously with a rod-like basic element 1, which preferably has a circular cylindrical basic shape. The glue stick shown here represents such a particularly suitable basic element 1. The illustrated and preferred exemplary embodiment shows the basic element 1 in the particularly preferred embodiment as a glue stick with a lateral surface 4, screw section 5 at the lower end and closure cap 6 at the upper end.
Im Stand der Technik sind auch im Nicht-Lebensmittel-Bereich Dekorationselemente 2 als Papier-Hülsen oder Papier-Schleifen etc. bekannt. Die Brauchbarkeit des Gesamtgegenstandes 3, insbesondere die Brauchbarkeit als Spielzeug wird stark dadurch gefördert, daß bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Gegenstand das Dekorationselement 2 aus Kunststoffmaterial besteht. Das schafft eine hohe Attraktivität und einen hohen Spielwert für den Gesamtgegenstand 3.In the prior art, decorative elements 2 are also known in the non-food sector as paper sleeves or paper loops etc. The usability of the overall object 3, in particular the usability as a toy, is strongly promoted in that the decorative element 2 consists of plastic material in the object according to the invention. This creates a high attractiveness and a high play value for the overall object 3.
Das in den Figuren 1 bis 6 dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel zeigt, daß das Deko- rationselement 2 auf das Grundelement 1, vorzugsweise auf dessen Mantelfläche, aufgesteckt oder aufgeclipst ist. Fig. 6 läßt dabei besonders gut erkennen, daß dasThe exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 shows that the decorative element 2 is clipped or clipped onto the basic element 1, preferably onto the lateral surface thereof.

The lateral wings 7 of the decorative element 2 thus encompass the circular cylindrical base element 1 on both sides in a resilient manner using the inherent elasticity of the plastic material.
Fig. 7 und 8 zeigen eine Modifikation des Dekorationselementes 2 in Verbindung mit demselben Grundelement 1, das in Fig. 1 bereits dargestellt worden ist. Hier ist vorgesehen, daß das Dekorationselement 2 zweiteilig ausgeführt ist und die Teile 2a, 2b das Grundelement 1 zwischen sich aufnehmend zusammengefügt, insbesondere zusammengesteckt oder zusammengeclipst sind. Angedeutet ist, daß die beiden Teile 2a, 2b des Dekorationselementes 2 über ein Kunststoff- Filmscharnier 8 unverlierbar miteinander verbunden sind.7 and 8 show a modification of the decorative element 2 in connection with the same basic element 1, which has already been shown in FIG. 1. It is provided here that the decorative element 2 is made in two parts and the parts 2a, 2b are joined together, in particular plugged or clipped together, to receive the basic element 1 between them. It is indicated that the two parts 2a, 2b of the decorative element 2 are captively connected to one another via a plastic film hinge 8.
Während beim ersten Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 bis 6 das Dekorationselement 2 seitlich auf das stabartige Grundelement 1 aufgeclipst wird, wird beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 7 und 8 das zunächst geöffnete Dekorationselement 2 über den Kopf des Grundelementes 1 gesteckt, dann werden die Teile 2a und 2b des Dekorationselementes 2 aneinander herangeführt und, das Grundelement 2 zwischen sich aufnehmend, zusammengefügt, im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel zusammengeclipst.1 to 6, the decorative element 2 is clipped onto the rod-like base element 1 laterally, in the embodiment of FIGS. 7 and 8 the initially opened decorative element 2 is placed over the head of the base element 1, then the parts 2a and 2b of the decorative element 2 brought together and, taking the basic element 2 between them, joined together, in the illustrated embodiment, clipped together.
Das in den Fig. 7 und 8 dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel zeichnet sich ferner dadurch aus, daß das Dekorationselement 2 auf der Innenseite Rippen 9 aufweist, die mit Rippen 10 am Grundelement 1 bei angebrachtem Dekorationselement 2 in Eingriff stehen. Innerhalb der Teile 2a und 2b des Dekorationselementes 2 sind also die erörterten Rippen 9 angelegt, die das Dekorationselement 2 in der dargestellten Position auf der Verschlußkappe 6 des Klebestifts halten, nämlich mit dort vorhandenen Rippen 10 in Eingriff stehen. Auf diese Weise kann das einmal über der Verschlußkappe 6 des Klebestifts zusammengeklappte Dekorationselement 2 nicht ohne weiteres nach oben vom Grundelement 1 abge- zogen werden. Vielmehr muß das Dekorationselement 2 wieder "geöffnet" werden, um dann das Grundelement 1 benutzen zu können.The embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 is further characterized in that the decorative element 2 has ribs 9 on the inside which engage with ribs 10 on the base element 1 when the decorative element 2 is attached. Within the parts 2a and 2b of the decorative element 2, the ribs 9 discussed are created, which hold the decorative element 2 in the position shown on the sealing cap 6 of the glue stick, namely with the ribs 10 present there. In this way, the decorative element 2, once folded over the sealing cap 6 of the glue stick, cannot easily be pulled upward from the base element 1. Rather, the decorative element 2 must be "opened" again in order to be able to use the basic element 1.
Natürlich ist das Grundelement 1 nicht auf die Form eines Klebestifts beschränkt, auch wenn ein Klebestift ein besonders interessantes Grundelement 1 für die erfindungsgemäße Verkaufseinheit ist. Eine Vielzahl von Alternativen zum Grundelement 1 in Form eines Klebestiftes stehen jedoch zur Verfügung. Beispielsweise kann man vorsehen, daß das Grundelement 1 ein Schreibhilfs- mittel, beispielsweise eine Kunststoffflasche für ein Schriftabdeckungsmittel ist. Auch eine Klebstofftube, insbesondere eine Klebstoffstandtube kommt als Grundelement 1 in Frage. In einem ganz anderen Anwendungsbereich ist ein Grundelement 1 beispielsweise eine Zahnpasta-Standtube. Man kann sich vor- stellen, daß gerade das in den Fig. 1 bis 6 dargestellte Dekorationselement 2 sehr interessant auch mit einer Zahnpasta- Standtube korrespondiert.Of course, the basic element 1 is not limited to the shape of an adhesive stick, even if an adhesive stick is a particularly interesting basic element 1 for the sales unit according to the invention. However, a number of alternatives to the basic element 1 in the form of an adhesive stick are available. For example, it can be provided that the basic element 1 is a writing aid medium, for example a plastic bottle for a font cover agent. An adhesive tube, in particular an adhesive standing tube, can also be used as the basic element 1. In a completely different area of application, a basic element 1 is, for example, a toothpaste stand tube. It can be imagined that the decorative element 2 shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 also corresponds very interestingly to a toothpaste stand tube.
Das in den Fig. 1 bis 6 dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel einer Verkaufseinheit zeigt nun, daß das Dekorationselement 2 die Form eines Weltraumgleiters (Shuttle) aufweist. Der Korpus des hier bevorzugten Grundelements 1, nämlich eines Klebestifts, korrespondiert besonders schön mit der äußeren Gestaltung des Dekorationselementes 2 als Außenhaut eines Weltraumgleiters. Hier kommt noch besonders attraktiv hinzu., daß im dargestellten Ausfuhrungsbeispiel, so in Fig. 3 besonders gut zu erkennen, das Dekorationselement 2 knapp oberhalb des Schraubabschnittes 5 des das Grundelement 1 bildenden Klebestifts endet. Dieser Schraubabschnitt 5 hat, wie das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel zeigt, eine Verrippung in Längsrichtung. Der Gesamteindruck in der Darstellung in Fig. 3 ist dabei der, daß der Schraubabschnitt 5 gewissermaßen das "Triebwerk" des Weltraumgleiters, dargestellt durch das Dekorationselement 2, bildet.The embodiment of a sales unit shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 now shows that the decorative element 2 has the shape of a space glider (shuttle). The body of the preferred basic element 1, namely a glue stick, corresponds particularly well with the outer design of the decorative element 2 as the outer skin of a space glider. Here it is particularly attractive that, in the exemplary embodiment shown, as can be seen particularly well in FIG. 3, the decorative element 2 ends just above the screw section 5 of the glue stick forming the basic element 1. This screw section 5 has, as the illustrated embodiment shows, ribbing in the longitudinal direction. The overall impression in the illustration in FIG. 3 is that the screw section 5 forms, so to speak, the "engine" of the space glider, represented by the decorative element 2.
Fig. 3 in Verbindung mit Fig. 4 zeigt eine weitere Besonderheit, die darin besteht, daß das als Klebestift ausgeführte Grundelement 1 am oberen Ende eine Verschlußkappe 6 aufweist, wobei das Dekorationselement 2 in Höhe der Verschlußkappe 6 des Grundelementes 1 eine fensterartige Öffnung 12 aufweist. Man erkennt dies in Fig. 4 an den in der Öffnung 12 seitlich sichtbaren Rippen 10.Fig. 3 in connection with Fig. 4 shows a further special feature, which consists in the fact that the basic element 1 designed as a glue stick has a closure cap 6 at the upper end, the decorative element 2 having a window-like opening 12 at the level of the closure cap 6 of the basic element 1 , This can be seen in FIG. 4 by the ribs 10 that are visible laterally in the opening 12.
Beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 7 und 8 befindet sich die fensterartige Öffnung 12 rechts in Fig. 8. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung gilt, daß das Dekorationselement 2 die Form eines Astronautenhelms mit Raketenrucksack 11 hat. Die fensterartige Öffnung 12 ist dabei das Sichtfenster für den Astronauten.In the embodiment of FIGS. 7 and 8, the window-like opening 12 is on the right in FIG. 8. In this embodiment, the decorative element 2 has the shape of an astronaut helmet with a rocket backpack 11. The window-like opening 12 is the viewing window for the astronaut.
Interessante Varianten für das Dekorationselement 2 sind beispielsweise auch ein Ritterhelm oder andere Kopfbekleidungen. Auch andere Luft-, Land- und Wasserfahrzeuge können als Dekorationselement herangezogen werden. Besonders interessant ist eine Variante, bei der das Dekorationselement 2 ein Rennboot ist. Gerade in diesem Fall kann man auch den leeren Klebestift - Grundelement 1 - weiter nutzbringend verwenden. Man schraubt nämlich mittels des Schraubab- Schnittes 5 das innenliegende Transportteil zurück und verschließt mittels der Verschlußkappe 6 den Klebestift fest. Dann stellt er praktisch einen Schwimmkörper des Rennbootes dar, dessen Außenhaut durch das Dekorationselement 2 gebildet ist. Interesting variants for the decorative element 2 are, for example, a knight's helmet or other headwear. Other air, land and water vehicles can also be used as a decorative element. A variant in which the decorative element 2 is a racing boat is particularly interesting. In this case in particular, the empty glue stick - basic element 1 - can still be used. You screw with the screw Cut 5 the inner transport part back and closes the glue stick firmly by means of the closure cap 6. Then it practically represents a floating body of the racing boat, the outer skin of which is formed by the decorative element 2.
