Abstract

The device has a disk-shaped round upper part (3) and a connecting rod (4) at a distance in the longitudinal direction projecting over the upper part. There is a rear holding flap (5) in the transverse direction of the upper part. The connecting rod projects through the gap between the two cardboard covers that are held in between the upper part and the holding flap.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Verschließen von Kartondeckeln o.dgl., bestehend aus einem scheibenförmigen Oberteil und einer von diesem über einen Verbindungssteg beabstandeten Haltelasche, wobei in Gebrauchsstellung der Verbindungssteg durch den Spalt zwischen zwei Kartondeckeln ragt und zwischen dem Oberteil und der Haltelasche die Kartondeckel gehalten sind.The invention relates to a device for closing cardboard covers or the like, consisting of a disc-shaped upper part and a spaced from this via a connecting web retaining tab, wherein in the use position of the connecting web protrudes through the gap between two cardboard lids and between the upper part and the retaining tab the cardboard covers are held.

Beim Öffnen eines verschlossenen Kartons aus Pappe, was in der Regel durch das Aufschneiden der Klebebänder entlang der Kartonkanten geschieht, stehen anschließend nach dem Schließen der beiden gegenüberliegenden oberen Kartondeckel und ohne Verschließen derselben durch ein Verschlußmittel, wie Klebeband, die Kartondeckel infolge der Eigenspannung des Pappmaterials dachförmig gegeneinander auf. Dies erschwert die allgemeine Handhabung des Kartons, gefährdet die darin aufbewahrten schutzwürdigen Güter und macht maschinelle Ein- oder Auslagerungsvorgänge unmöglich. Der vorübergehende oder dauerhafte Wiederverschluß des Kartons ist üblicherweise nur durch Verklebung, Verschnürung, Umreifung oder Heftung möglich, d.h. Techniken, die den Karton strapazieren und verhältnismäßig großen Aufwand an Zeit und Material beanspruchen.When opening a closed cardboard box, which usually happens by cutting the adhesive tapes along the carton edges, then after closing the two opposite upper carton cover and without closing the same by a closure means, such as adhesive tape, the cardboard cover due to the residual stress of the cardboard material roof-shaped against each other. This complicates the general handling of the carton, jeopardizes the protected goods stored therein and makes automated loading or unloading operations impossible. The temporary or permanent reclosure of the carton is usually only possible by gluing, lacing, strapping or stapling, i. Techniques that stress the carton and require a relatively large amount of time and material.

Eine Klemmvorrichtung zum Verschließen der Klappen von Schachteln oder Kartons ist bereits aus US 2002/0178555 A1 bekannt. Diese Klemmvorrichtung hat jedoch den Nachteil, dass dieselbe seitlich in den Schlitz zwischen den Klappen eingeschoben werden muß, was jedoch je nach Anwendung nicht immer oder nur schwer möglich ist. Außerdem ist die Klemmvorrichtung zweiteilig ausgebildet, so dass die Handhabung derselben schwierig erscheint.A clamping device for closing the flaps of boxes or cartons is already off US 2002/0178555 A1 known. However, this clamping device has the disadvantage that it must be inserted laterally into the slot between the flaps, but this does not depend on the application always or only with difficulty possible. In addition, the clamping device is formed in two parts, so that the handling of the same appears difficult.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der angegebenen Gattung zu schaffen, mit der zum einen der Zeit- und Materialaufwand zum Verschließen eines Kartons minimiert wird, wobei gleichzeitig eine Schonung des Kartonmaterials erreicht wird, und zum anderen die Verschluß- und Öffnungsprozeduren bei Kartons aus Pappe vereinfacht werden, wobei ein stetiges Öffnen und Schließen eines Kartons gewährleistet ist.The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a device of the type specified, with a time and material costs for closing a carton is minimized, at the same time a conservation of the cardboard material is achieved, and on the other hand, the closure and opening procedures Cardboard boxes are simplified, whereby a constant opening and closing of a carton is ensured.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Kennzeichnungsmerkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a device with the characterizing features of claim 1.

Zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Advantageous developments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

Die Vorrichtung ermöglicht das beliebig häufige, sichere und schnelle Verschließen und Wiederöffnen handelsüblicher Kartons aus Pappe mittels eines einzigen Handgriffes, ohne daß das Pappmaterial oder dessen Oberfläche durch Klebebänder, Metallumreifungen, Verschnürungen usw. optisch verändert, mechanisch beschädigt oder sonstwie strapaziert und dadurch das Kartonhandling verschlechtert wird.The device allows the arbitrary frequent, safe and fast closing and re-opening of commercial paperboard cartons by a single handle without the cardboard material or its surface visually altered by adhesive tapes, metal strapping, lacing, etc., mechanically damaged or otherwise strained, thereby deteriorating the carton handling becomes.

Ein weiterer Vorteil bei der Anwendung der stets wiederverwendbaren Vorrichtung im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Verschlußmethoden besteht in der Minimierung des Zeit- und Materialaufwandes.Another advantage of using the always reusable device compared to conventional closure methods is the minimization of time and material costs.

Die in den Figuren dargestellte Vorrichtung 1 zum Verschließen von Kartondeckeln 2 o.dgl. weist ein scheibenförmiges, vorzugsweise rundes Oberteil 3 auf, das über einen runden, vorzugsweise ovalen Verbindungssteg 4 von einer Haltelasche 5 beabstandet ist.The device 1 shown in the figures for closing cardboard lids 2 or the like. has a disc-shaped, preferably round upper part 3, which is spaced from a retaining tab 5 via a round, preferably oval connecting web 4.

Die Haltelasche 5 steht in Längsrichtung über das Oberteil 3 vor und springt in Querrichtung von dem Oberteil 3 zurück. Die somit im wesentlichen rechteckig ausgebildete Haltelasche 5 ist an ihren Enden 6 vorzugsweise halbkreisförmig abgerundet. Ferner weist die Haltelasche 5 auf ihrer zum Oberteil 3 gerichteten Seite 7 eine umlaufende Schräge 8 auf. Die Abrundungen 9 und die Schräge 8 sorgen dafür, daß die Vorrichtung 1 sauber zwischen den Kartondeckeln 2 gedreht werden kann, worauf nachfolgend noch genauer eingegangen wird.The retaining tab 5 projects longitudinally beyond the upper part 3 and jumps back from the upper part 3 in the transverse direction. The thus formed substantially rectangular retaining tab 5 is preferably rounded at its ends 6 semicircular. Furthermore, the retaining tab 5 on its side facing the upper part 3 7 a circumferential bevel 8. The rounding 9 and the slope 8 ensure that the device 1 can be rotated cleanly between the cardboard covers 2, which will be discussed in more detail below.

Zum Drehen der Vorrichtung 1 sind am äußeren Umgang des Oberteils 3 zwei sich gegenüberliegende Griffmulden 10 vorgesehen.For rotating the device 1, two opposing recessed grips 10 are provided on the outer handling of the upper part 3.

Nachfolgend wird nun die Anwendung der Vorrichtung 1 genauer beschrieben.The application of the device 1 will now be described in more detail.

Um einen Karton 11 zu verschließen, wird die Vorrichtung 1 von oben mittig in den Spalt 12 zwischen den beiden oberen Kartondeckel 2 geführt. Sollten die Kartondeckel 2 nicht weit genug aufstehen und somit der Spalt 12 zu schmal sein, um die Vorrichtung 1 einzuführen, hebt der Anwender die Kartondeckel 2 mit der anderen Hand leicht an. Anschließend wird die Vorrichtung 1 in den Spalt 12 hinabgedrückt, bis die Kartondeckel 2 flach aufliegen. In dieser Position wird die Vorrichtung 1 an dem Oberteil 3 in beliebiger Richtung um 90° gedreht, wodurch die Kartondeckel 2 im Zwischenraum 13 von Oberteil 3 und Haltelasche 5 festgeklemmt werden. Der Karton 11 ist nun verschlossen. Der gesamte Ablauf dauert lediglich 1-2 Sekunden.In order to close a carton 11, the device 1 is guided centrally from above into the gap 12 between the two upper carton covers 2. Should the cardboard cover 2 not far stand up enough and thus the gap 12 to be narrow to insert the device 1, the user slightly raises the cardboard cover 2 with the other hand. Subsequently, the device 1 is pushed down into the gap 12 until the cardboard covers 2 lie flat. In this position, the device 1 is rotated on the upper part 3 in any direction by 90 °, whereby the cardboard cover 2 are clamped in the intermediate space 13 of the upper part 3 and retaining tab 5. The carton 11 is now closed. The entire process takes only 1-2 seconds.

Da die Materialstarrheit der quer zum Spalt 12 stehenden Haltelasche 5 sowie des Oberteils 3 den Aufrichtimpuls der Kartondeckel 2 blockieren, ist ein Aufrichten der Kartondeckel 2 infolge ihrer Materialspannung nicht mehr möglich. Die Vorrichtung wiederum bleibt im Spalt 12 der Kartondeckel 2 festgeklemmt, so daß ein Verrutschen oder Verdrehen auch bei üblichem Handling des Kartons 11 (Fahren, Bewegen, Drehen, Kippen etc.) weitestgehend ausgeschlossen ist. Die Kartondeckel 2 werden in annähernd flacher Position festgehalten und verschließen den Karton 11 auf diese Weise dauerhaft und sicher.Since the rigidity of the material standing transversely to the gap 12 retaining tab 5 and the upper part 3 block the Aufrichtimpuls the cardboard cover 2, erecting the cardboard cover 2 is no longer possible due to their material tension. The device in turn remains clamped in the gap 12 of the cardboard cover 2, so that slipping or twisting even with usual handling of the carton 11 (driving, moving, turning, tilting, etc.) is largely excluded. The cardboard cover 2 are held in approximately flat position and close the carton 11 in this way permanently and safely.

Da die Bauweise der beschriebenen Vorrichtung 1 relativ flach ist, stört sie auch nicht ein Aufeinanderstapeln mehrerer Kartons, sofern deren Steifigkeit und vor allem auch das Gewicht des Inhalts derselben dies zuläßt.Since the construction of the described device 1 is relatively flat, it does not interfere with a stacking of several cartons, provided that their rigidity and especially the weight of the contents of the same allows this.
