Abstract

The packing (1) comprises a flat bottom section (2) and hood-shaped top section (3) detachably interconnected by complementary edge sections (4,5) which form the lower termination of the top and bottom sections respectively. Overlaps are located in the lowermost plane of the top and bottom section. The overlap (7) of the top section laps over the overlap (6) of the bottom only by such an amount to enable the lower overlap to be pressed directly by hand onto a base. Means are provided between the overlaps to align the upper overlap.

Description

Technical area

The invention relates to a package consisting of an im essential flat lower part, if necessary with bearing structures for a planned Arrangement of the packaged goods, and a hood-shaped top, wherein lower part and upper part at least partially over complementary Edge areas are releasably connected together and for their handling (Separation) at least on one side tab-shaped projections exhibit.

In known packages of this type usually form the Bearing structures the lower end of the lower part, during which Edge area is arranged rather higher. With this arrangement should be achieved that the adjoining the edge region extension or supernatant presents itself for handling at hand. In the event of round packaging is the supernatant usually even as a peripheral edge educated.

Since the connectable edge areas on the lower end raise and with the usually abrupt putting on of the upper part on the Lower part considerable deformation forces act, the lower part be formed dimensionally stable, i. it is also one for that considerable material thickness required. To the supernatant of the lower part usually the supernatant of the shell nestles, where he the Dimensions of the underlying supernatant follows. This is one ensures compact packaging, but at the same time their Handling difficult to open. However, it is also known that upper supernatant strip-shaped and over the lower Prolong the supernatant.

As can be seen, in known packages, shape, Material strength and handling such that virtually no influence can be improved without disadvantages on the part of others Having to accept influence factors.

Presentation of the invention

This is where the invention starts. She wants a package to that effect improve that it is dimensionally stable and highly resilient, with relative low material strength and also easy to handle, which here above all the handling when opening the packaging is meant.

This complex task can according to the proposal of the invention surprisingly simple and effective way be solved by that the connectable edge areas respectively the lower end of lower part and upper part form and the supernatants in the lowest level of lower part and upper part are arranged, wherein the supernatant of the upper part (= upper Supernatant) the supernatant of the lower part (= lower supernatant) only so far covered that the lower supernatant still directly on a hand Pad can be pressed, and between the supernatants means are arranged to raise the upper supernatant.

So instead of the lower supernatant from above and below with the Fingers as before to grasp (to cling), is now provided, the lower projection together with the border area so deep that they form the lower end of the lower part, whereby the lower Supernatant for fixation simply by hand one-sided from top to one Pad needs to be pressed. This is the upper supernatant preferably shortened about its middle or its outer portions. The remaining portion is readily available since means, e.g. Indentations are provided, which are not too far-reaching approximation allow the lower supernatant or its support, i. the upper one Erect the supernatant.

As a result, the lower part reaches a large-scale edition, Which tolerates higher loads or at the same time Loads with a lower material thickness requires. The Handling when opening (= one-sided depression of the lower Supernatant on a pad and peel off the top handle Supernatant) protects the form, which also reduces material can be exploited. In addition, the new handling is more convenient.

Advantageous developments give the further subclaims at. You can u.a. consist in that the impressions chosen so because of their structure (e.g., naps, corrugations) as well as their Distribution (large and transverse to the direction of pull) at the same time also the Improve grip of the upper supernatant. It need in the individual impressions not necessarily very large dimensions to be sought. A plurality of medium impressions can be equally advantageous and sufficient, especially if the Mobility is increased by a specially designed bending line. Finally, the upper part with the lower part via a hinge is advantageous connected, on the opposite side of the supernatants.

According to Figures 1 and 2, an inventive Packaging 1 of a flat lower part 2 and a hood-shaped Upper part 3. The lower end of the lower part 2 forms a circumferential profiled edge region 4 and the lower end of the upper part 3 a corresponding profiled edge region 5. In this case, the edge region 5 via the edge region 3 are slipped, wherein the edge regions 3, 5 in the shown end position form a detachable connection.

So to speak, in the lowest level of the lower part 2 is to one side towards a tab-shaped extension or protrusion 6 formed. That too Upper part 3 has in this plane and on the same side out a continuation or Supernatant 7 on. Because of their mutual position, the supernatant 6 of the lower part 2 as the lower projection 6 and the supernatant 7 of the Upper part 3 may be referred to as the upper projection 7.

Characteristic of the supernatants 6,7 is that the upper supernatant 7 only partially covers the lower projection 6, i. he lets him in at least one place free so far that the free area of hand - For example, with your thumb - pressed on its base and fixed so can be. At the same time, the supernatant 7 with the other hand detected and to open the package 1 of the supernatant 6 or his Underlay be pulled away.

The detection of the supernatant 7 according to the invention thereby relieved that between the lower supernatant 6 and upper supernatant 7 means are arranged, which serve as a barrier against too far Approach of the upper supernatant 7 act on the lower projection 6. In the present embodiment, the means are cone or dome-shaped indentations 8 in the supernatant 7, which against the Supernatant 6 are directed.

The mobility of the supernatant 7 is otherwise by a straight bend line 9 with reduced bending resistance facilitated, which here at the transition to the edge region 5 runs. The bending resistance can in particular by reducing the material thickness along the Bending line are lowered. A weakening is also possible of the material along the bending line by scoring, punching, punching etc.

Figs. 3 and 4 leave a slightly different embodiment recognize, in which the lower projection 6 remains free in the middle section and indentations 8 are arranged in the lower projection 6, from where they directed against the upper projection 7. Also here are for the movable portions of the upper projection 7 bending lines 9 intended.

Instead of some stronger dimensioned impressions 8 can also a plurality of small dimensioned impressions 8, e.g. in the form of smaller Nubs, are selected, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6. This can be namely at the same time increase the grip. The same thought also follow the embodiments of FIGS. 7 and 8, which Indentations 8 in the form of several transverse grooves in the manner of a corrugation exhibit.
