Description

DESCRIPTION

Container and blank for its manufacture

The invention relates to a container for storing and removing a food with a first and a second container half, which are connected to pivot between an open and a closed position via a pivot connection in the form of a pivot line or the like.

Such a container is known for example from practice for the storage and removal of a hamburger, a sandwich, a pastry part or the like. In general, the corresponding food is completely removed from the container and held with his hands for consumption.

The container halves form an upper and a lower container half, wherein the lower container half serves to set up the container and the upper container half for removal of the food up to the corresponding pivotal connection is hinged. That is, the corresponding pivotal connection or pivot line extends horizontally or laterally of the food in the container in the prior art container.

Although such a container is well suited for storage and removal of the corresponding foodstuff, it is not useful as an aid to eating the foodstuff. In addition, the prior art container is sufficiently stable in the closed state for transporting the food, but relatively unstable in the open state, although only the food is removed from the container.

The invention has the object to improve a container of the type mentioned in that it is also suitable for eating the food and at the same time simple construction is stable and yet inexpensive to produce. This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Each container half of the container according to the invention has an upper and lower, in plan view polygonal container wall and this spaced apart connecting side wall. The corresponding pivot line of the pivotal connection is formed between facing ends of the side walls of the container halves. The other second ends of the side walls are releasably connected together in the closed position of the container halves, wherein the pivot line associated pivot axis is substantially perpendicular to the upper and lower container walls of the container halves.

This essentially results in a container with a left and a right half of the container, which can be opened about a substantially perpendicular to the food in the container extending pivot axis, so that the food in container halves in the open position protrudes from the right or left container half and this Keeping the food during consumption serves. When container halves in the closed position, the corresponding polygonal left and right container halves to a cross-section corresponding polygonal container, due to the variety of corners and edges improved stability not only when transporting the food, but also when using only one container half for consumption of the food having.

In order to make the respective container half simpler and also easier to manufacture, upper and lower container walls of each container half can be congruent to one another.

The stability of the container is improved in that it is correspondingly polygonal, with upper and lower container walls of the first and second container half in the closed position complementing each other to a six, seven, eight or even polygonal outline of the container.

In order to have no gap in the container in the closed position and to completely enclose the food, the lower and / or upper container wall of a container half have a smaller maximum length to a free end edge as the lower and / or upper container wall of the other container half.

Characterized an overlap between the longer and / or upper container walls of a container half and the corresponding container walls of the other container half is possible in the closed position of the two container halves.

In order to make at least one of the container half more stable in this context, free end edges of the upper and / or lower container wall of the corresponding container half can be connected flush with the free, the pivot line forming end edges of the side walls.

In order to support pivoting about the pivot line, an elongated pivot opening in the form of an oblong hole can be formed along the pivot line.

In order to allow a releasable connection of the respective ends of the side walls in the closed position in a simple manner, the side walls may have at their second ends over the free Eπdkante the upper and lower container wall projecting first and second end portion. These end portions of the side walls are then releasably connectable to each other via various techniques known per se, such as a detachable adhesive point, a plug connection, a latching connection or the like.

In a simple embodiment, the end portion of the side wall of the first container half at its free end on a tuck, which engages releasably engaged in the closed position in a side wall of the second container half insertion slot. Of course, a reverse arrangement of tuck and slot is possible.

In order to simplify the connection between the insertion tab and the insertion slot as well as the pushing together of the corresponding end sections, between the end section of the second container half and the upper and lower container wall in the direction of tion end portion of the side wall of the first container half open receiving slots may be formed. Again, it is true that a reverse arrangement is possible. In this context, there is the possibility that in the closed position of the container halves, the corresponding end edges of the upper and lower container walls of the first container half are partially received in this receiving slot.

In order to be able to produce the corresponding polygon of the container in a simple manner and at the same time to increase the stability of the container, the side wall can have side fold lines connecting corners of upper and lower container walls.

In order to further increase the rigidity, lower and / or upper container wall of the corresponding container half may be formed at least in places in two or more layers.

The multi-layer can be realized by multiple layers of the same material, but it can also be different materials for the different layers are used.

In order to produce the multi-layer in a simple manner and at the same time to allow the connection between side walls and container walls, the side wall on inner sides of upper and / or lower container wall adjacent adhesive flanges may have, so that in particular the adjacent areas of side wall and container walls by the resulting multi-layered are stabilized. The arrangement of the corresponding adhesive flanges can also be carried out in reverse, so that from one of the container walls projecting adhesive flanges are attached to an inner side of the side wall. The attachment is usually done by gluing, but can also be done by melting a on the adhesive flanges or on the side walls applied to itself foil.

Thus, the adhesive flanges are aligned according to the inner sides of the corresponding walls, they can be connected via a fold line with particular the other side wall or the remaining container wall. Since the corresponding food is arranged in half container in the open position substantially half in a container half and protruding the projecting other half of the food for consumption, it may prove in this context continue to be advantageous if the first or the second container half at least in upper and lower container wall has a tear line. This tear line is after consumption of the protruding part of the food for further opening of the corresponding container half, so that the rest of the food from the corresponding container half is further consumed. It is in principle possible for the complete consumption of the food to hold this without further aids, such as napkins or the like, safely alone through the corresponding container half and essentially to use the container half for consumption until the food is completely consumed.

In this context, it may also be advantageous if not only upper and lower container wall can be divided by the corresponding tear line, but also if the corresponding side wall can be divided or at least by a corresponding line is more easily swung. This can be achieved in that the side wall of the corresponding container half has a side tear line connecting the tear line of the upper and lower container walls. However, as stated above, this side tear line may also serve only as a pivot line and need not actually be used to completely remove the corresponding side wall part.

It has been found that heat and vapor of the food in the container easily deforms the corresponding container walls or side walls, for example, when they are already curved. To prevent this, upper and / or lower container wall as well as arranged between adjacent fold lines side wall sections can be flat.

Since the container is essentially a disposable packaging, it is of course advantageous if the corresponding material is easily recyclable. Such a material for the container is for example paper, cardboard or the like. In order to additionally stiffen the connection between the container walls as an alternative or in addition to the adhesive flanges of the corresponding side wall, upper and / or lower container walls can have adhesive flaps on the inside, in particular of the end portion of the side wall, which are connected to the remaining container wall via a fold line ,

In order to set a particular maximum opening position of the container so that the corresponding container halves are not pivoted too far relative to each other and instead these are arranged, for example substantially in the open position next to each other, connected via the pivot line side wall portions of the side walls of the first and second in the maximum open position of the container Container half with its outer sides substantially in abutment. As a result of the fact that the container halves do not swing too far and swivel just enough so that they point towards the consumer with their corresponding openings, crumbs or other food residues which are not used for the consumption of food in the container half are already or can be arranged this collecting, to be prevented from falling out.

The investment of the corresponding outer sides is thereby improved if their surfaces are substantially equal.

The manufacture and construction of the container can be further simplified if it is made of a one-piece blank.

It is also possible that the container has on its inside and / or outside a particular fluid-tight coating. A coating on the outside of the container may also serve to enhance appearance or to make it easier to print on.

It is also possible to make the corresponding container walls of container halves or the side wall so that they have a certain heat-insulating effect, for example, in multi-layer walls, an air gap between see the layers is present or otherwise the heat transfer through the walls is reduced.

The invention likewise relates to a corresponding one-piece blank for producing such a container, such a blank having at least one side wall longitudinal strip for forming the side walls and upper and lower container wall sections projecting from this side wall strip along its longitudinal sides. Between the longitudinal sides and in particular perpendicular to these a number of Seitenfaltlinien are formed in the sidewall strip and approximately centrally in the sidewall strip is parallel to the Seitenfaltlinien extending pivot line formed.

In order to produce the corresponding adhesive flanges in a simple manner in this context, they can be arranged along the longitudinal sides of the side wall strip as essentially triangular adhesive flanges, between which and the container wall sections a cut line is formed. In this way, the adhesive flanges are also part of the blank and are to glue according to the corresponding structure of the container only with the inside of the corresponding container wall.

In order to simplify the construction in this context, the adhesive flanges can be connected to the side wall strips via a corresponding folding line.

In order to easily produce the respective side walls of both container halves, the sidewall strip may comprise two groups of sidewall sections separated by two pivot sidewall sections, the free ends of the sidewall strip being formed by closing sidewall sections.

For releasably securing the corresponding closing side wall sections when the container is constructed, a closing side wall section can have a push-in tab projecting at its free end, which can be inserted into a corresponding insertion opening in the side wall for defining a closed position of the container. In order to simplify the corresponding pivoting of Behalterhalften later, may be formed between the two pivot side portions extending along the corresponding Schwenklmie slot

Adhesive flaps can not only be arranged in the area of the corresponding side wall sections, but also the swivel side section can have approximately triangular adhesive flaps on its longitudinal sides

In order to simplify the insertion of the above-mentioned tuck, can be formed between the closing side wall portion and subsequent side wall portion a slot along the corresponding Seitenfaltlmie this slot is then used to insert the tuck

In order to simplify the insertion of the tuck and set the closed position safer, the corresponding Seitenfaltlmie have cut sections at both ends of the slot simplify this insertion of the long than the elongated hole trained insertion tab, whose length is substantially the length of the slot and the additional length of corresponding cutting sections corresponds

In order to simplify the structure of the container, in particular when gluing the corresponding adhesive flanges, there is the possibility that an inclination zuweisender, triangular sides corresponding adhesive flanges is substantially equal Thus, these triangular sides serve to determine the corresponding folding position of side wall sections or Behalterwandabschnitten and set in this Position is then the bonding

Erfiπdungsgemaß is increased by the appropriate container and blank, the rigidity of the container and corresponding deformations both when inserting the food, in its transport or its consumption are avoided This is done in particular by the large number of corners and fold lines and the at least partially use of double-walled or multi-ply overcame In addition, the use of substantially flat or flat walls largely avoids deformation of the paper due to heat or steam. The container may serve to consume the food without contact with the hands of the consumer, so that further aids such as a napkin or the like are not necessary for consumption. The use of the tear lines allows the consumption to the last part of the food so that the level of hygiene is high until the food is completely consumed.

The corresponding container halves also prevent crumbs, liquid constituents of the food or other constituents of the food from escaping from the container, and in particular also the container half not used for consumption can serve to collect such parts. Furthermore, it is ensured by appropriate overlap of the walls and the releasable closing of the container halves, that the food during transport safely and without opening the container is transportable.

In the following, an advantageous embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying figures in the drawing.

Show it:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a container according to the invention in the closed position;

Figure 2 shows the container of Figure 1 in the open position;

3 shows the container of Figure 2 in the open position with partially torn first container half, and

Figure 4 is a plan view of a one-piece blank for the production of the container according to the preceding figures. FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of a container 1 according to the invention in the closed position 5. The container 1 comprises a first container half 2 and a second container half 3, which are detachably connected to one another via an engagement of a push-in tab 29 into a corresponding insertion slot 30. The first container half 2 is polygonal with corners 35, 36, 37 and 38 corresponding to the second container half 3 with corners 33, 34, 39 and 40, wherein both container halves 2, 3 complement each other to a substantially regular octagon.

The first container half 2 has an upper and a lower container wall 7, 8, see also Figures 2 and 3, which are arranged by a Seitenwaπd 11 spaced therebetween. Analogously, the second container half 3 is constructed from upper and lower container walls 9, 10 and side wall 12, the corresponding container walls 7, 8 and 9, 10 and the side wall sections 48 of the side walls 11, 12 arranged between corresponding side fold lines 41 are planar.

In the closed position 5 of Figure 1 cover upper and lower container walls 9, 10, see in particular "10" in Figure 1, partially upper and lower container walls 7, 8 of the first container half 2, wherein a corresponding end portion 28 of the side wall 12 of the second container half 3, the corresponding end portion 27, see Figure 2, the side wall 11 of the first container half 2 covered.

Between the end portion 28 of the side wall 12 and the upper and lower container wall 9, 10 open receiving slots 31, 32 are formed in the direction of the first container half. These facilitate the arrangement of the corresponding end section 27 or also of the upper and lower container walls 7, 8 of the first container half 2 in the second container half 3, see also FIG. 2.

The corresponding walls or wall sections according to FIG. 1 correspond to the corresponding side wall sections 48, container wall sections 58, 59 and 61, 62 and closing side wall sections 67, 68 according to FIG. 4, wherein the corresponding container halves 2, 3 move from the closed position 5 according to FIG. 1 into an open position 4 Figure 2 relative to one another by a pivot line 6 as a pivotal connection defined pivot axis 17 between the closed position and open position are pivotable.

This corresponding pivot line is, for example, also FIG. 4, determined by a side fold line 42 between pivot side wall sections 65 and 66.

In FIG. 1, the corresponding insertion tab 29, see also FIGS. 2 to 4, is inserted into the insertion slot 30 formed as a slot 70.

In Figure 2, the container 1 is shown in its open position 4, in which the two container halves 2, 3 are arranged so that they with their inner sides or through this particular interior to a consumer for removal and in particular for consumption of a container 1 arranged food are directed.

The first container half 2 has at a first end 13 of its side wall 11 an end edge 24 which is connected via the corresponding pivot line 6 or Seitenfaltlinie 42 with corresponding end edge 25 at the first end 14 of the side wall 12 of the second container half 3. Part of the pivot line 6 is formed as a slot pivot opening 26th

The side walls 11, 12 have adjacent to the first end 13, or 14 outer sides 52 and 53, which define a maximum open position in which the two outer sides 52, 53 are in contact with each other. These outer sides have substantially the same area.

The side walls 11, 12 have the same number of side wall portions 48 and differ substantially by corresponding end portions 27, 28, which are used for releasably closing the container 1, see also Figure 1. These end portions 27, 28 each comprise second ends 15, 16 of the side walls 11, 12. Here, the insertion tab 29 is formed at the second end 15 of the end portion 27. This is inserted into the corresponding insertion slot 30, see also Figure 1, for defining and taking the closed position 5. Free end edges 20 and 21 of upper and lower container wall 7, 8 of the first container half 2 go flush in the free end edges 24, 25 at the first end 13, 14 of the side walls 11, 12 over. The corresponding free end edges 22, 23 of the upper and lower container wall 9, 10 of the second container half 3 are on these end edges 24, 25 on, see also Figure 4. This supernatant serves to receive the corresponding ends of the upper and lower container wall 7, 8 in Closed position, see Figure 1.

On inner sides 43, 44 of the corresponding container walls adhesive flanges 50 are attached, which are connected via corresponding fold lines 45 with the side walls 11, 12. The corresponding adhesive flanges are essentially triangular, wherein in FIG. 2 mutually facing triangular sides 72, 73 of the corresponding adhesive flanges are essentially in contact with each other. As a result, when manufacturing the container 1 from a one-piece blank 60 according to FIG. 4, the corresponding folding state of the side wall sections relative to one another is essentially fixed.

In the upper and lower container wall 7, 8 of the first container half 2 tearing lines 46 are formed centrally, for example, by a perforation. These are used to rupture the corresponding container walls 7, 8, see also Figure 3, to improve the accessibility to the remaining food for further consumption after partial consumption of the food.

In particular, the receiving slots 31, 32 are also clearly visible in FIG. 2, which improve the elasticity of the corresponding end section 28 for the simplified closing of the container. In addition, these receiving slots 31, 32 may also serve to accommodate end edges 20, 21 of the upper and lower container walls 7, 8 when the end section 27 is arranged outside on the end section 28, when the insertion tab 29 is inserted into the insertion slot 30.

FIG. 2 also shows in particular that a corresponding maximum length 18, 19, see also FIG. 4, is different from upper and lower container wall 7, 8 or upper and lower container wall 9, 10, so that upper and lower container wall 9, 10 the second container half 3 in the illustrated embodiment, upper and lower container wall 7, 8 of the first container half 2, see also Figure 1, overlap from the outside, so that the corresponding free end edges 20, 21 of o- and lower container wall 7, 8 are inserted into the second container half 3.

The arrangement of the corresponding adhesive flanges 50 on inner sides 43 of the container walls 7 to 10 results in a double layer, in particular in this area, whereby the rigidity of the container is increased in addition to increasing the rigidity by the number of fold lines and corners of the container.

At this point it should be briefly noted that the same parts in all figures are provided with the same reference numerals and partially these reference numerals are given only in one figure and will be described in connection with only one figure.

In FIG. 3, the container 1 with outer side 54 from FIG. 2 is shown in a tearing position of upper and lower container wall 7, 8 of the first container half 2. This differs in particular from the corresponding opening position of Figure 2 by tearing the container walls 7, 8 along the respective tear lines 46, see also Figures 1 and 2. It is also seen that in the corresponding side wall 11 of the first container half 1, the tearing lines 46 in the upper and lower container wall 7, 8 connecting Seitenaufreißlinie 47 is formed. This allows a complete separation of the part of the first container half 2, which has the tuck 29. However, the corresponding Seitenaufreißlinie 47 can also be used substantially as a pivot line to open the first container half 2 in the corresponding Aufreißstellung of Figure 3.

In particular, another adhesive flange 50 adjacent to the end portion 27 can be seen in FIG. 3, which is adhesively bonded to the corresponding inner side 43 of the upper container wall 7 and correspondingly to the lower container wall 8. This adhesive flange is connected via fold line 45 with the side wall 11. Another adhesive flange 74 extends from the upper or lower container wall 7, 8 in the direction of end portion 27 and is glued to the inside thereof with this. Also, the adhesive flange 74 is connected via a corresponding fold line 51 with the upper or lower container wall 7, 8, see also Figure 4. FIG. 4 shows a plan view of the one-piece blank for producing the container according to FIGS. 1 to 3.

Again, corresponding parts of the previous figures are provided with the same reference numerals.

The blank 60 has, in particular, a sidewall strip 55 which comprises a plurality of sidewall sections which are respectively separated from one another by side fold lines 41, 42. In particular, the various sections also comprise pivot side wall sections 65, 66, which are arranged approximately centrally in the side wall strip 55 and between which the fold line 42 determines the corresponding pivot line 6 or pivot axis 17. In the corresponding fold line 42, the slot 69 is formed as a pivot opening 26. Furthermore, the wall sections comprise the closing side wall sections 67 and 68, which respectively form the end sections 27 and 28 of the container, see also FIG. 2. Along longitudinal sides 56, 57 of the side wall strip 55, container wall sections 58, 59 and 61, 62 protrude. The container wall sections 58, 59 form upper and lower container walls 7, 8 and the container wall sections 61, 62 form upper and lower container walls 9, 10 of the corresponding first and second container half 2, 3, see again FIG. 2.

Another part of the one-piece blank 60 according to FIG. 4 are the substantially triangular adhesive tabs 50 or 74, wherein the adhesive tabs 50 each have corresponding folding lines 45 and 64 with the sidewall strip 55 and the further adhesive tabs 74 have side fold lines 51 with upper and lower container walls 7 , 8 of the first container half 2 are connected.

In Figure 2 it can be seen how the corresponding adhesive tabs 50 on inner sides 43, 44 of the container walls 7 to 10 are applied and fixed there by gluing, which is also shown in Figure 3 for the adhesive tabs 74 on the corresponding inner side of the end portion 27.

In order to allow the corresponding pivoting of the adhesive tabs in the manufacture of the container, regardless of folding the corresponding container walls 7 to 10, along a triangular side of the respective adhesive tabs cut lines 63 are arranged, which separate the adhesive tabs in this area from the container walls 7 to 10.

In addition to these intersecting lines 63 as a triangular side, the corresponding triangles have further triangular sides 72 and 73 which serve to define a corresponding folding condition of both the sidewall portions and the container walls by engaging each other, see Figure 2.

It can also be seen in FIG. 4 that the corresponding side tear line 47 connects the tear lines 46 in the upper container wall 7 or in the corresponding container wall section 58 with the tear line 46 in the lower container wall 8 or container wall section 59. This tear line serves at least to open the container 1 in the manner shown in Figure 3, in which connection the Seitenaufreißlinie 47 serves as a pivot line.

From each of the pivot side wall sections 65, 66, respective adhesive tabs 50 are provided in pairs and opposite one another along the corresponding longitudinal sides 56, 57 of the side wall strip 55, see also FIG. 2.

In the region of the slot 30 forming the slot 30 are formed along the corresponding Seitenfaltlinie 41 cutting portions 71, which support the insertion of the Einstecklasche 29 with cut lines 75 in the insertion slot 30 and in particular the releasable holding the tuck in the slot.

Overall, results from the container according to the invention or the one-piece blank a container shape, which allows over prior art containers another way of pivoting the container, according to the invention one of the container halves for holding a container in the food, such as a hamburger, a sandwich or the like is used. It should also be noted in this connection that the corresponding tear lines 46 in the illustration according to FIG. 2 can be used to better hold the food, with the corresponding container walls 7, 8 becoming lighter in the region of the tear line 47 can be pressed inwards in the direction of food, wherein the corresponding tear lines essentially serve as crease lines for the container walls 7, 8. Only when the food is then substantially half-eaten can tearing open along tear lines 46 to further open the container, see Figure 3. This position of Figure 3 then essentially serves until the food is completely consumed corresponding parts of the first container half 2 are repeatedly zuzuschwenkbar to the Seitenaufreißlinie 47 to handle the remaining food and to change in position between the upper and lower container wall 7, 8.

According to the invention, therefore, no further aids for consumption or to keep the consumer clean are necessary, and also parts dissolving from the food, such as crumbs, sauces or other food components, are safely taken up by the corresponding container halves.
