Abstract

The bottle carrier of foldable flat material has a box-form container with a center wall (7) parallel to the two long sidewalls and with a carrying handle (8) at the top. Transverse walls parallel to the end sidewalls (5,6) are provided between the center wall and long sidewalls to form compartments to accommodate the bottles (13). Outwards inclined bevels are joined at the bottom to the long side edges of the bottom wall (2), and at the top joined to the lower edges of the long sidewalls.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf Behälterträger aus faltbarem Flachmaterial mit einem kartenförmigen, oben offenen Tragbehälter mit einer Bodenwand, Längswänden und Stirnwänden, einer zu den beiden Längswänden parallelen Mittelwand im Tragbehälter, die oben einen Traggriff aufweist und zu den Stirnwänden parallelen Querstegen zwischen der Mittelwand und den Längswänden zum Bilden von Gefachen im Tragbehälter zur Aufnahme von Behältern.The invention relates to container carrier made of foldable flat material with a card-shaped, open-top carrier with a bottom wall, longitudinal walls and end walls, a parallel to the two longitudinal walls middle wall in the carrier, the top has a carrying handle and parallel to the end walls transverse webs between the middle wall and the Longitudinal walls for forming compartments in the carrier for receiving containers.

Derartige körbchenartige Behälterträger ("Open Basket Carrier") sind bekannt. Sie können aus einem oder aus mehreren Zuschnitten faltbaren Flachmaterials hergestellt sein. Meistens sind sie aus Karton. Sie dienen insbesondere der Aufbewahrung und dem Transport von Flaschen, hauptsächlich Getränkeflaschen.Such basket-like container carriers ("Open Basket Carrier") are known. They can be made of one or more blanks of foldable flat material. Mostly they are made of cardboard. They serve in particular for the storage and transport of bottles, mainly beverage bottles.

Ein Problem derartiger Behälterträger ist die Stabilität. Es muss verhindert werden, dass der Behälterträger unter den Belastungen im Verpackungsprozess und beim Transport eingesetzter Behälter reißt. Hierzu sind strukturelle und die Materialwahl betreffende Maßnahmen beispielsweise in der EP 916 590 A und der DE 299 11 1 034 U beschrieben.One problem with such container carriers is stability. It must be prevented that the container carrier breaks under the stresses in the packaging process and during transport of used containers. For this purpose, structural and material choice measures are for example in the EP 916 590 A and the DE 299 11 1 034 U described.

Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, Behälterträger der eingangs genannten Art mit weiter verbesserter Stabilität zur Verfügung zu stellen.On this basis, the invention has for its object to provide container carrier of the type mentioned with further improved stability available.

Die Aufgabe wird durch einen Behälterträger mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst.The object is achieved by a container carrier with the features of claim 1.

Der Behälterträger aus faltbarem Flachmaterial hat

  • einen kastenförmigen, oben offenen Tragbehälter mit einer Bodenwand, Längswänden und Stirnwänden,
  • eine zu den beiden Längswänden parallele Mittelwand im Tragbehälter, die oben einen Griff aufweist,
  • zu den Stirnwänden parallele Querstege zwischen der Mittelwand und den Längswänden zum Bilden von Gefachen im Tragbehälter zur Aufnahme von Behältern und
  • nach außen geneigte Bodenschrägen, die unten mit den längsseitigen Rändern der Bodenwand und oben mit den unteren Rändern der Längswände verbunden sind.
The container carrier made of foldable flat material has
  • a box-shaped, open-topped carrying container with a bottom wall, longitudinal walls and end walls,
  • a parallel to the two longitudinal walls center wall in the carrier, which has a handle at the top,
  • parallel to the end walls transverse webs between the middle wall and the longitudinal walls to form compartments in the carrier for receiving containers and
  • outwardly inclined floor slopes, which are connected at the bottom with the longitudinal edges of the bottom wall and at the top with the lower edges of the longitudinal walls.

Dadurch, dass der Behälterträger an den beiden Längsseiten Bodenschrägen aufweist, wird überraschenderweise eine erhebliche Verbesserung der Stabilität des Behälterträgers erreicht. Untersuchungen haben ergeben, dass die Bodenschrägen die in den Behälterträger eingesetzten Behälter am unteren Rand festhalten, so dass die Behälter an Bewegungen gehindert werden, die das Materialversagen erheblich fördern. Es handelt sich dabei um ein "Tänzeln" der Behälter in den Gefachen, das sich insbesondere bei einem starken Verzögern bzw. abrupten Abbrechen einer Absenkbewegung herkömmlicher Behälterträger einstellt. Diese Bewegung der Behälter kann insbesondere zu einem Materialriss in den Stirnwänden führen. Dies wird bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Behälterträger durch Festhalten lediglich des unteren Randes der Behälter vermieden, ohne dass das Einsetzen bzw. Entnehmen der Behälter beeinträchtigt wird. Die Verbesserung der Stabilität begünstigt den Einsatz weniger starker Materialien, die weniger kostspielig sind bzw. ein geringeres Gewicht haben, beispielsweise von Karton mit einer verhältnismäßig geringen Grammatur bzw. von Recycling-Kartons.Due to the fact that the container carrier has bottom slopes on the two longitudinal sides, a considerable improvement in the stability of the container carrier is surprisingly achieved. Studies have shown that the bottom slopes hold the container inserted into the container carrier at the bottom, so that the containers are prevented from movements that promote the material failure significantly. It is a "prancing" of the containers in the compartments, which sets in particular in a strong delay or abrupt termination of a lowering movement of conventional container carrier. This movement of the container may in particular lead to a material tear in the end walls. This is avoided in the container carrier according to the invention by holding only the lower edge of the container without the insertion or removal of the container is impaired. The improvement in stability favors the use of less strong materials that are less expensive or less Have weight, for example, from cardboard with a relatively low grammage or recycled cardboard.

Bevorzugt dient der Behälterträger dem Transport von Flaschen. Diese haben vielfach zwischen Boden und zylindrischem Mantel einen geneigten bzw. gerundeten unteren Randbereich, der vorteilhaft mit den Bodenschrägen des Behälterträgers zusammenwirkt. Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung entspricht die Neigung der Bodenschrägen zur Mittelwand etwa der Neigung der unteren Flaschenränder zur Flaschenachse bzw. überschreitet diese etwas, so dass die Flaschen um so stärker eingeklemmt werden, je tiefer sie in die Gefache abgesenkt werden.Preferably, the container carrier is used to transport bottles. These often have between bottom and cylindrical shell an inclined or rounded lower edge region, which cooperates advantageously with the bottom slopes of the container carrier. According to a preferred embodiment, the inclination of the bottom slopes to the middle wall corresponds approximately to the inclination of the lower bottle edges to the bottle axis or exceeds this something, so that the bottles are more strongly clamped, the deeper they are lowered into the compartments.

Zur weiteren Steigerung der Festigkeit ist die Mittelwand endseitig mit den beiden Stirnwänden verbunden und/oder sind die Querstege endseitig mit der Mittelwand und den Längswänden verbunden.To further increase the strength, the middle wall is connected at the end to the two end walls and / or the transverse webs are connected at the end to the middle wall and the longitudinal walls.

Ferner wird die Aufgabe durch einen Behälterträger aus einem faltbaren Flachmaterial mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 5 gelöst. Dieser Behälterträger hat

  • einen kastenförmigen, oben offenen Tragbehälter mit einer Bodenwand, Längswänden und Stirnwänden,
  • eine zu den Längswänden parallele Mittelwand im Tragbehälter, die oben einen Traggriff aufweist,
  • zu den Stirnwänden parallele Querstege zwischen der Mittelwand und den Längswänden zum Bilden von Gefachen im Tragbehälter zur Aufnahme von Behältern,
  • Mittelfaltlinien in den Stirnwänden und in der Bodenwand zum flachen Zusammenlegen des Behälterträgers und
  • eine Materialverstärkung, die an einem stirnseitigen Rand der Bodenwand angeordnet ist und durch die die Mittelfaltlinie der Bodenwand verläuft.
Furthermore, the object is achieved by a container carrier made of a foldable flat material having the features of claim 5. This container carrier has
  • a box-shaped, open-topped carrying container with a bottom wall, longitudinal walls and end walls,
  • a parallel to the longitudinal walls center wall in the carrier, which has a carrying handle at the top,
  • parallel to the end walls transverse webs between the middle wall and the longitudinal walls to form compartments in the carrier for receiving containers,
  • Center fold lines in the end walls and in the bottom wall for the flat folding of the container carrier and
  • a material reinforcement disposed on an end edge of the bottom wall and through which the center fold line of the bottom wall passes.

Die Materialverstärkung befindet sich an einer Position der Bodenwand, an der zum Aufrichten des Behälterträgers aus dem flachliegenden Zustand im Verpackungsprozess ein Aufdrücker einer Aufrichtmaschine angreift. Dieser Auf drücker übt auf den Rand der Bodenwand eine Kraft aus, die bei den herkömmlicherweise für Behälterträger eingesetzten Kartonqualitäten (z.B. Kraftkarton mit einer Grammatur von 305 g/m2) nicht als kritisch angesehen worden ist. Überraschenderweise hat sich nun gezeigt, dass Behälterträger mit den herkömmlichen Aufrichtmaschinen störungsfrei produziert und auch aus weniger starkem Flachmaterial hergestellt werden können, wenn sie die Materialverstärkung aufweisen. Hierdurch ist es insbesondere möglich, den Behälterträger aus einem Kraftkarton mit einer Grammatur von weniger als 305 g/m2 herzustellen, insbesondere mit einer Grammatur von 250 g/m2, oder aus einem Recyclingmaterial, das bislang den Belastungen im Aufrichtprozess nicht standgehalten hätte.The material reinforcement is located at a position of the bottom wall, at the erecting of the container carrier from the flat state in the packaging process an impres- sor of a righting machine attacks. This on pusher exerted on the edge of the bottom wall of a force that has not been considered critical in the cardboard grades conventionally used for container carrier (eg kraft cardboard with a grammage of 305 g / m 2 ). Surprisingly, it has now been shown that container carrier produced with the conventional erecting machines trouble-free and can be made from less strong sheet material, if they have the material reinforcement. This makes it possible in particular to produce the container carrier from a kraft carton with a grammage of less than 305 g / m 2 , in particular with a grammage of 250 g / m 2 , or from a recycled material that would not have withstood the stresses in the righting process.

Vorzugsweise entspricht die Querausdehnung der Materialverstärkung im Wesentlichen der Querausdehnung der Bodenwand, d.h. die Materialverstärkung verläuft etwa über die gesamte Breite der Bodenwand. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass eine lediglich punktuelle Materialverstärkung auf der Mittelfaltlinie, wo normalerweise der Aufdrücker ansetzt, keine entscheidende Stabilitätsverbesserung erbringt.Preferably, the transverse extent of the material reinforcement substantially corresponds to the transverse extent of the bottom wall, i. the material reinforcement extends approximately over the entire width of the bottom wall. It has been found that merely selective material reinforcement on the center fold line, where normally the pusher attaches, does not provide any significant stability improvement.

Grundsätzlich kann die Materialverstärkung ein zusätzlich angesetztes faltbares Flachmaterial oder auch ein anderes Material, z.B. ein Klebestreifen oder "Krafttape" sein. Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist die Materialverstärkung eine um den stirnseitigen Rand der Bodenwand gegen eine Seite der Bodenwand geklappte Verstärkungslasche. Vorzugsweise ist die Verstärkungslasche gegen die Innenseite der Bodenwand geklappt, wodurch beispielsweise die Verwendung einseitig gestrichenen Kartonmaterials begünstigt wird.In principle, the material reinforcement can be an additionally applied foldable flat material or else another material, eg an adhesive strip or "kraft tape". According to a preferred embodiment, the material reinforcement is a folded around the front edge of the bottom wall against one side of the bottom wall reinforcing tab. Preferably, the reinforcing tab is against the Flipped inside the bottom wall, which, for example, the use of one-sided coated cardboard material is favored.

Die Längsausdehnung der Materialverstärkung kann beispielsweise etwa der Hälfte der Längsausdehnung der Bodenwand entsprechen. Dies ist für die Festigkeit von Vorteil und ermöglicht dennoch eine Herstellung der Zuschnitte ohne große Materialverluste, d.h. eine günstige "Bogenaufteilung".The longitudinal extent of the material reinforcement may for example correspond to approximately half the longitudinal extent of the bottom wall. This is advantageous for strength, yet allows production of the blanks without large material losses, i. a cheap "bow division".

Vorzugsweise ist die Materialverstärkung mit der Bodenwand verklebt. Diese Verklebung kann gemeinsam mit weiteren eventuellen Verklebungen erfolgen, die der Behälterträger aufweist.Preferably, the material reinforcement is glued to the bottom wall. This bonding can be done together with other possible adhesive bonds, which has the container carrier.

Die beiden Lösungen und ihre Ausgestaltungen können auch beliebig miteinander kombiniert werden.The two solutions and their configurations can also be combined with each other as desired.

Bei der nachfolgenden Erläuterung verschiedener Ausführungsbeispiele werden für im Wesentlichen übereinstimmende Konstruktionselemente dieselben Bezugsziffern verwendet.In the following explanation of various embodiments, the same reference numerals are used for substantially identical construction elements.

Gemäß Fig. 1 und 2 hat ein Behälterträger aus Karton einen kastenförmigen Tragbehälter 1, der eine Bodenwand 2, Längswände 3, 4 und Stirnwände 5, 6 aufweist. Ferner hat der Behälterträger eine Mittelwand 7, die parallel zu den Längswänden 4, 5 zentral im Tragbehälter 2 angeordnet ist. Die Mittelwand 7 hat einen Griffabschnitt 8, der über die oberseitige Öffnung 9 des Tragbehälters 2 hinaussteht und eine Grifföffnung 10 aufweist.According to Fig. 1 and 2 a container carrier made of cardboard has a box-shaped carrier 1, which has a bottom wall 2, longitudinal walls 3, 4 and end walls 5, 6. Furthermore, the container carrier has a center wall 7, which is arranged parallel to the longitudinal walls 4, 5 centrally in the carrier 2. The middle wall 7 has a handle portion 8, which protrudes beyond the upper-side opening 9 of the support container 2 and has a handle opening 10.

Die Mittelwand 7 ist über - nicht gezeigte - Laschen an den Enden mit den Stirnwänden 5, 6 verbunden. Außerdem ist die Mittelwand 7 mit einem Haken am unteren Rand mit der Bodenwand 2 verhakt. Auch dies ist nicht gezeigt. Ferner sind nicht gezeigte Querstege vorhanden, welche parallel zu den Stirnwänden 5, 6 ausgerichtet und einenends mit der Mittelwand 7 und anderenends mit den Längswänden 4 verbunden sind, um in dem Tragbehälter 2 nach oben offene Gefache abzugrenzen.The middle wall 7 is connected via tabs (not shown) at the ends to the end walls 5, 6. In addition, the middle wall 7 is hooked with a hook at the bottom with the bottom wall 2. This too is not shown. Further, transverse webs, not shown, which are aligned parallel to the end walls 5, 6 and connected at one end to the center wall 7 and the other end to the longitudinal walls 4 to delimit in the carrier 2 upwardly open compartments.

Die unteren Ränder der Längswände 4, 5 sind über Bodenschrägen 11, 12 mit den längsseitigen Rändern der Bodenwand 3 verbunden. Die Bodenschrägen 11, 12 sind - ausgehend von der Bodenwand 3 - nach außen geneigt, so dass die Querabmessung der Gefache in der Nähe der Bodenwand 3 nach oben etwas zunimmt.The lower edges of the longitudinal walls 4, 5 are connected via bottom slopes 11, 12 with the longitudinal edges of the bottom wall 3. The bottom slopes 11, 12 are - starting from the bottom wall 3 - inclined to the outside, so that the transverse dimension of the compartment in the vicinity of the bottom wall 3 increases slightly upwards.

In die Gefache sind Flaschen 13 eingestellt, wobei sie durch die Querstege in bekannter Weise daran gehindert werden, einander an den Umfängen ihres zylindrischen Bauchbereiches 14 zu berühren. Die Flaschen haben zwischen dem Zylinderbereich 14 und ihren Böden 15 einen geneigten unteren Randbereich 16, sind also unten etwas konisch.In the compartments bottles 13 are set, whereby they are prevented by the transverse webs in a known manner from touching each other at the peripheries of their cylindrical abdominal region 14. The bottles have an inclined lower edge region 16 between the cylinder region 14 and its bottoms 15, ie they are somewhat conical at the bottom.

Der Neigungswinkel des konischen Randbereiches 16 zur Mittelachse der Flaschen 13 stimmt etwa mit dem Neigungswinkel der Bodenschrägen 11, 12 zur Mittelwand 7 überein oder unterschreitet diesen etwas. Ferner übersteigen die Querabmessungen der Gefache geringfügig den Durchmesser des Zylinderbereiches 14 der Flaschen 13. Infolgedessen sind die Flaschen 13 bequem in die Gefache einsetzbar, werden jedoch im unteren Randbereich innerhalb der Gefache eingeklemmt. Ein nachteiliges "Tänzeln" der Flaschen 13 in den Gefachen wird hierdurch vermieden. Beim sogenannten "Drop-Jerk-Test", bei dem ein mit Flaschen 13 befüllter Behälterträger am Griff 8 gehalten und einer schnellen Auf- und Abbewegungen mit erheblichen Beschleunigungen unterworfen wird, ergibt bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Behälterträger erheblich bessere Stabilitätswerte als mit herkömmlichen Behälterträgern erreicht wird.The angle of inclination of the conical edge region 16 to the central axis of the bottles 13 coincides approximately with the angle of inclination of the floor slopes 11, 12 to the middle wall 7 or falls slightly below this. Furthermore, the transverse dimensions of the compartments slightly exceed the diameter of the cylinder portion 14 of the bottles 13. As a result, the bottles 13 are conveniently used in the compartments, but are trapped in the lower edge area within the compartments. An adverse "dancing" of the bottles 13 in the compartments is thereby avoided. In the case of the so-called "drop jerk test", in which a container carrier filled with bottles 13 is held on the handle 8 and subjected to rapid up and down movements with considerable acceleration, the container carrier according to the invention achieves significantly better stability values than with conventional container carriers.

Gemäß Fig. 3 hat ein Zuschnitt 17 eines weiteren Behälterträgers Längswände 18, 19. Am längsseitigen Rand der Längswand 18 ist über eine Rilllinie eine Bodenwand 20 angelenkt. Die Bodenwand 20 ist durch eine Rilllinie 21 in zwei Abschnitte 20', 20" unterteilt. Im Bereich der Rilllinie 21 befinden sich Ausstanzungen 22 für das Einführen von Pinolen eines Flaschenkastens.According to Fig. 3 has a blank 17 of another container carrier longitudinal walls 18, 19. At the longitudinal edge of the longitudinal wall 18 is a bottom wall 20 is articulated via a crease line. The bottom wall 20 is divided into two sections 20 ', 20 "by a creasing line 21. In the area of the creasing line 21, there are punched-out sections 22 for inserting quills of a bottle crate.

An den längsseitigen Rand der Längswand 19 ist eine Bodenlasche 23 angelenkt.At the longitudinal edge of the longitudinal wall 19, a bottom flap 23 is hinged.

An den stirnseitigen Rändern der Längswand 18 sind Stirnwandhälften 24', 25' angelenkt und entsprechend an den stirnseitigen Rändern der Längswand 19 Stirnwandhälften 24", 25".At the front edges of the longitudinal wall 18 end wall halves 24 ', 25' articulated and corresponding to the front edges of the longitudinal wall 19 end wall halves 24 ", 25".

An die Stirnwandhälften 24', 24" sind über Rilllinien Mittelwandabschnitte 26', 26" angelenkt. Diese weisen oben Griffabschnitte 27', 27" mit Grifflöchern 28', 28" auf. An den Griffabschnitten 27', 27" sind die Mittelwandabschnitte auf einer Längsmittelachse 29 des Zuschnittes miteinander verbunden.To the end wall halves 24 ', 24 "are centered about scoring lines 26', 26" hinged. These have at the top handle portions 27 ', 27 "with handle holes 28', 28" on. At the grip sections 27 ', 27 ", the middle wall sections are connected to each other on a longitudinal central axis 29 of the blank.

In den Mittelwandabschnitten 26', 26" sind außerdem Querstege 30', 30", 31', 31" ausgestanzt. Diese sind jeweils über Rilllinien einenends an die Mittelwandabschnitte 26', 26" und anderenends an Steglaschen 32', 32" angelenkt. Dabei sind die Querstege 30', 31' an eine gemeinsame Steglasche 32' und die Querstege 30", 31" an eine gemeinsame Steglasche 32" angelenkt.Transverse webs 30 ', 30 ", 31', 31" are also punched out in the middle wall sections 26 ', 26 ", which are respectively linked by means of score lines at one end to the center wall sections 26', 26" and at the other end to web tabs 32 ', 32 " the transverse webs 30 ', 31' to a common web tab 32 'and the transverse webs 30 ", 31" hinged to a common web tab 32 ".

Die Steglaschen 32', 32" haben wiederum an einer Querseite jeweils eine Stirnlasche 33', 33" angelenkt.The web tabs 32 ', 32 "have in turn hinged to a transverse side in each case an end tab 33', 33".

Ferner sind an eine Querseite der Griffabschnitte 27', 27" äußere Griffabschnitte 34', 34" mit Grifföffnungen 35', 35" angelenkt, die auf der Längsmittelachse 29 über eine Rilllinie miteinander verbunden sind. An die anderen Querseiten haben die äußeren Griffabschnitte 34', 34" Griffverstärkungen 36', 36" angelenkt, die ebenfalls auf der Längsmittelachse 29 miteinander verbunden sind.Furthermore, articulated to a transverse side of the grip sections 27 ', 27 "are outer grip sections 34', 34" with grip openings 35 ', 35 ", which are connected to one another via a crease line on the longitudinal center axis 29. The outer grip sections 34' , 34 "handle reinforcements 36 ', 36" hinged, which are also connected to each other on the longitudinal central axis 29.

Die Stirnwandhälften 25', 25" haben an den Querseiten über Rilllinien Mittelstege 37', 37" angelenkt, die an den äußeren Längsseiten einen ausgestanzten Haken 38', 38" aufweisen und auf der Längsmittelachse 29 ebenfalls über eine Rilllinie miteinander verbunden sind.The end wall halves 25 ', 25 "have at the transverse sides via creasing middle webs 37', 37" hinged, which have on the outer longitudinal sides a punched hooks 38 ', 38 "and are also connected to each other on the longitudinal central axis 29 via a crease line.

Schließlich hat die Bodenwand 20 eine Querseite, die dem Haken 38' zugewandt ist, eine Verstärkungslasche 39 über eine Rilllinie angelenkt. Die Verstärkungslasche 39 ist ebenfalls durch eine Mittelfaltlinie 40 in Fortsetzung der Mittelfaltlinie 21 in zwei Hälften 39', 39" unterteilt. Zwischen den Mittelfaltlinien 21, 40 befindet sich eine kleine rhombische Ausstanzung 41. Ferner hat die Verstärkungslasche 39 eine Ausstanzung 42 für eine Pinole, die nach Klappen der Verstärkungslasche 39 gegen die Innenseite der Bodenwand 20 mit der benachbarten Ausstanzung 22 zur Deckung kommt. Eine randseitige Ausstanzung 43 kommt dabei mit einem Randbereich der nächsten Ausstanzung 22 zur Deckung, so dass Letztere ebenfalls für das Einführen einer Pinole völlig frei bleibt.Finally, the bottom wall 20 has a transverse side, which faces the hook 38 ', hinged to a reinforcing tab 39 via a crease line. The reinforcing tab 39 is also subdivided into two halves 39 ', 39 "by a middle fold line 40 in continuation of the center fold line 21. Between the center fold lines 21, 40 there is a small rhombic cutout 41. Furthermore, the reinforcing tab 39 has a punch neck 42 for a quill, which, after flaps of the reinforcing strap 39, comes to coincide with the adjacent punched-out section 22 against the inside of the bottom wall 20. An edge-cutout 43 coincides with an edge region of the next punch-out 22, so that the latter also remains completely free for the insertion of a quill.

Die Verstärkungslasche 39 hat beinahe dieselbe Querabmessung wie die Bodenwand 20. Ihre Länge entspricht etwa der Hälfte der Länge der Bodenwand 20.The reinforcing tab 39 has almost the same transverse dimension as the bottom wall 20. Its length corresponds to about half the length of the bottom wall 20.

Der Behälterträger wird folgendermaßen konfektioniert:The container carrier is assembled as follows:

Zunächst werden die Mittelwandabschnitte 26', 26' gegen die Innenseiten des Restzuschnittes geklappt, wobei die Griffabschnitte 27', 27" mit den äußeren Griffabschnitten 34', 34", die Steglaschen 32, 32" mit den Längswänden 18, 19 und die Stirnlaschen 33', 33" mit den Stirnwänden 24', 24" verklebt werden.First, the middle wall portions 26 ', 26' folded against the inner sides of the residual blank, wherein the handle portions 27 ', 27 "with the outer handle portions 34', 34", the web tabs 32, 32 "with the longitudinal walls 18, 19 and the end plates 33rd ', 33 "with the end walls 24', 24" are glued.

Als Nächstes werden die Griffverstärkungen 36', 36" gegen die Griffabschnitte 27', 27" geklappt und können ebenfalls mit diesen verklebt werden.Next, the handle reinforcements 36 ', 36 "against the handle portions 27', 27" folded and can also be glued to them.

Danach werden die Stirnwandhälften 25', 25" gegen die Innenseiten der Längswände 18, 19 geklappt, wobei die Mittelwandstege 37', 37" mit den Griffverstärkungen 36', 36" verklebt werden können.Thereafter, the end wall halves 25 ', 25 "folded against the inner sides of the longitudinal walls 18, 19, wherein the middle wall webs 37', 37" with the handle reinforcements 36 ', 36 "can be glued.

Anschließend werden die beiden Hälften des vorgefertigten Zuschnitts 17 um die Längsmittelachse 29 gegeneinander geklappt, wobei die gegeneinander treffenden Mittelwandabschnitte 26', 26" und Abschnitte des Griffes 27', 27", 34', 34", 36', 36" sowie die Mittelstege 37', 37" miteinander verklebt werden.Subsequently, the two halves of the prefabricated blank 17 are folded around the longitudinal central axis 29 against each other, wherein the meeting against each other mid-wall portions 26 ', 26 "and portions of the handle 27', 27", 34 ', 34 ", 36', 36" and the central webs 37 ', 37 "are glued together.

Ferner wird die Verstärkungslasche 39 gegen die Innenseite der Bodenwand 20 geklappt und mit dieser verklebt. Dies kann vorteilhaft gleichzeitig mit dem Klappen der Stirnwandhälften 25', 25" gegen die Längswände 18, 19 geschehen.Further, the reinforcing tab 39 is folded against the inside of the bottom wall 20 and glued thereto. This can advantageously be done simultaneously with the folding of the end wall halves 25 ', 25 "against the longitudinal walls 18, 19.

Schließlich werden die Bodenwandhälften 20', 20" gegeneinander geklappt und dabei die Bodenhälfte 20' randseitig mit der Bodenlasche 23 verklebt.Finally, the bottom wall halves 20 ', 20 "are folded against each other while the bottom half 20' is glued to the bottom flap 23 at the edge.

Der vorkonfektionierte flachliegende Zuschnitt kann aufgerichtet werden, indem gegen die Mitte der Stirnwand 24', 24" und gegen die Seiten der Stirnwand 25', 25" gedrückt wird. Dabei werden die Stirnwände 24', 24", 25', 25" und die Querstege 30', 30", 31', 31" aufgefaltet und die Bodenwand 20 aufgespannt. Letzeres wird in der in Fig. 4 gezeigten Weise durch einen Aufdrücker 44 unterstützt, der gegen den Rand der Bodenwand 20 drückt, an den die Verstärkungslasche 39 angelenkt ist. Hierdurch wird die Bodenwand 20 in Pfeilrichtung angehoben, bis schließlich der Haken 38', 38" in den seitlich offenen Bereich 41 eingreift. Infolge der Verstärkungslasche 39 werden hierdurch die Zuschnitte nicht abträglich verformt.The prefabricated lay flat blank can be erected by pressing against the center of the end wall 24 ', 24 "and against the sides of the end wall 25', 25". The end walls 24 ', 24 ", 25', 25" and the transverse webs 30 ', 30 ", 31', 31" unfolded and the bottom wall 20 is clamped. The latter will be in the in Fig. 4 shown supported by an overpressure 44 which presses against the edge of the bottom wall 20 to which the reinforcing tab 39 is articulated. As a result, the bottom wall 20 is lifted in the direction of the arrow until finally the hook 38 ', 38 "engages in the laterally open region 41. As a result of the reinforcing strap 39, the blanks are not detrimentally deformed as a result.

Anders verhält es sich bei herkömmlichen Zuschnitten, die keine Verstärkung an der Bodenwand aufweisen. Hier kann es beim Anheben der Bodenwand 20', 20" zu den in der Fig. 5 gezeigten Verformungen und einhergehenden Beschädigungen des Behälterträgers kommen.The situation is different with conventional blanks which have no reinforcement on the bottom wall. Here it can when lifting the bottom wall 20 ', 20 "to those in the Fig. 5 shown deformations and concomitant damage to the container carrier come.
