The holding member may have a recess (121) at the centre in the region of the fold line (120).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine wiederverschließbare, mit einem unverklebten Originalitätsverschluss versehene Faltschachtel nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a resealable, provided with a unverklebten tamper evident carton according to the preamble of claim 1.

Im Stand der Technik sind Faltschachteln bekannt, die einen Originalitätsverschluss aufweisen, wobei der Verschluss während der Konfektion der Faltschachtel verklebt werden muss. Alternativ werden die Faltschachteln mit einem (Klebe-) Etikett versehen oder durch PE versiegelt. Diese zusätzlich erforderlichen Schritte verlängern den Konfektionierungsprozess und verteuern ihn, denn viele Verpackungsmaschinen verfügen beispielsweise nicht über eine Verklebungsvorrichtung. Es besteht daher der Bedarf nach einer mit einem unverklebten Originalitätsverschluss versehenen Faltschachtel.Folding cartons are known in the art, which have a tamper-evident closure, wherein the closure must be glued during the manufacture of the carton. Alternatively, the cartons are provided with a (adhesive) label or sealed by PE. These additional required steps extend the packaging process and make it more expensive, because many packaging machines, for example, do not have a gluing device. There is therefore a need for a carton provided with a non-taped tamper-evident closure.

In der US-1,986,145 ist eine wiederverschließbare Transportkiste beschrieben, die einen Einsteckdeckel aufweist, dessen Einstecklasche eine gefaltete Rastlasche umfasst, die in einem Schlitz der Seitenwand mit einer daran befestigten Halteleiste verrastet. Diese Art von Deckelverschluss stellt jedoch keinen Originalitätsverschluss dar, der unmittelbar aus Kartonbestandteilen besteht - im Gegenteil, die Transportkiste soll zwar gut verschließen, aber von Hand auch einfach zu öffnen sein.In the US 1,986,145 a reclosable transport box is described which has a Einsteckdeckel whose tuck comprises a folded latching tab which is locked in a slot of the side wall with a retaining strip attached thereto. This type of lid closure, however, does not represent a tamper-evident closure made directly of cardboard components - on the contrary, the transport box should close well, but also be easy to open by hand.

Aus der DE 198 09 466 A1 ist eine Kartontasche mit einem Originalitätsverschluss bekannt. Dabei wird beim Verschließen der Kartontasche ein an einer Verschlusslasche angelenkte Lappen mit einem in der Seitenwand der Kartontasche befindlichen Ausschnitt derart von außen verhakt, dass beim einmaligen Öffnen, d. h. beim Herausziehen der Verschlusslasche der Lappen von der Verschlusslasche abgetrennt wird. Eine derartige Kartontasche weist jedoch gegenüber einer Faltschachtel den Nachteil auf, dass der Verschluss außen an der Seitenwand ausgebildet und dadurch keine glatte Fläche vorhanden ist. Glatte Flächen sind jedoch bei derartigen Verpackungen für Massenartikel wichtig, weil sie keine Angriffspunkte für Gegenstände aufweisen.From the DE 198 09 466 A1 is a cardboard bag with a tamper evident. In this case, when closing the carton pocket, a flap hinged to a closure flap is hooked from the outside with a cutout located in the side wall of the carton pocket so that the flap is separated from the closure flap when it is opened once, ie when the closure flap is withdrawn. However, such a carton pocket has the disadvantage over a folding box that the closure is formed on the outside of the side wall and thus no smooth surface is present. Smooth surfaces, however, are important in such packages for mass-produced articles, because they have no points of attack for objects.

Die DE 100 46 179 A1 offenbart eine Faltschachtel mit Originalitätsverschluss, welche eine zusätzliche Lasche aufweist, welche beim Öffnen der Schachtel an einer Perforationslinie abgerissen oder zumindest eingerissen wird. Nachteilig an dieser Faltschachtel ist, dass kein herkömmlicher Verschlussmechanismus vorhanden ist, sondern eine schmale Einstecklasche, die nicht über die gesamte Breite der Deckelklappe reicht und somit den Schließmechanismus nach dem erstmaligen Öffnen verschlechtert.The DE 100 46 179 A1 discloses a folding box with tamper-evident closure, which has an additional tab, which is torn off or at least torn when opening the box on a perforation line. A disadvantage of this carton is that no conventional locking mechanism is present, but a narrow tab, which does not extend over the entire width of the lid flap and thus deteriorates the locking mechanism after the first opening.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es deshalb, eine verbesserte wiederverschließbare Faltschachtel mit einem Originalitätsverschluss bereit zu stellen, die wie eine herkömmliche Faltschachtel bei der Konfektionierung einfach und schnell handhabbar ist und dabei ohne eine Verklebung bzw. Verleimung auskommt.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved reclosable carton with a tamper-evident closure which, like a conventional carton, can be handled easily and quickly during assembly, and which does not require any gluing or gluing.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Lehre des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Ausführungsformen sind dabei in den Unteransprüchen erläutert.This object is achieved by the teaching of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and embodiments are explained in the subclaims.

Erfindungsgemäß weist die Faltschachtel im Innern Haltemittel und an der Einstecklasche über eine Sollbruchlinie eine Abreißlasche auf, wobei die Abreißlasche im verschlossenen Zustand der Faltschachtel um 180° auf die Einstecklasche umgehaltet ist, und der Verschluss der Faltschachtel ist derart eingerichtet, dass beim erstmaligen Öffnen die Abreißlasche mit den Haltemitteln zusammenwirkt und bei Bewegung der Einstecklasche über einen Bruchpunkt hinaus an der Sollbruchlinie abreißt.According to the folding carton in the interior holding means and the tuck on a predetermined breaking line on a tear tab, the tear tab is umgege in the closed state of the carton by 180 ° on the tuck, and the closure of the carton is set up so that when you first open the tear tab cooperates with the holding means and tears off on movement of the tuck beyond a break point on the predetermined breaking line.

Mit Vorteil sind die Haltemittel, insbesondere bei ausreichender Kartondicke, dass gegeneinander stoßende Stirnflächen sich in der Bewegung sperren, als Halteleiste ausgebildet, auf die die Abreißlasche beim erstmaligen Öffnen aufläuft und anstößt und bei weiterer Bewegung in Öffnungsrichtung abreißt.Advantageously, the holding means, in particular with sufficient thickness of cardboard that abut against each other abutting end faces in the movement formed as a retaining strip on which the tear-off tab opens up when it opens and abuts and breaks off in further movement in the opening direction.

Vorteilhafterweise sind die Haltemittel als Haltelasche ausgebildet, die im Auslieferungszustand auf das der Deckelklappe gegenüberliegende breite Rumpffeld an einer Falzlinie aufgefaltet ist, wobei die Haltelasche und das breite Rumpffeld einen Spalt bilden, in den die Abreißlasche in Öffnungsrichtung des Verschlusses einführbar ist. Der Spalt bleibt bei der Auffaltung der Lasche aufgrund der Eigenelastizität des Kartonmaterials offen. Die Haltelasche kann dabei mit besonderem Vorteil mit dem breiten Rumpffeld verklebt sein.Advantageously, the holding means are formed as a retaining tab, which is unfolded in the delivery condition on the lid flap opposite broad hull panel at a fold line, wherein the retaining tab and the broad trunk panel form a gap into which the tear-off tab can be inserted in the opening direction of the closure. The gap remains open at the folding of the flap due to the inherent elasticity of the cardboard material. The retaining tab can be glued with particular advantage with the wide fuselage.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist das breite Rumpffeld oder die Haltelasche im Bereich jeweils rechts und links des Spaltes eine Ausbuchtung auf, derart dass im Auslieferungszustand ein Offenbleiben des Spaltes gewährleistet ist. Durch die Ausbuchtung ist sichergestellt, dass sich beim Vorkleben der Faltschachtel der Spalt wirksam bildet und erhalten bleibt. Der Klebstoff kann im Bereich der Ausbuchtungen aufgebracht werden, wodurch eine wirksame Verklebung erreicht wird. Es ist auch möglich, den Klebstoff an anderen Stellen des breiten Rumpffeldes oder der Haltelasche außerhalb des Spaltes aufzutragen.In a preferred embodiment, the wide fuselage field or the retaining lug in the area to the right and left of the gap on a bulge, so that in the delivery condition, an open of the gap is ensured. The bulge ensures that the gap forms and remains effective during the pre-life of the folding box. The adhesive can be applied in the area of the bulges, whereby an effective bonding is achieved. It is also possible to apply the adhesive at other locations of the wide hull field or the retaining tab outside the gap.

Sind die Haltemittel als Halteleiste ausgebildet wie oben beschrieben, so kann auf die Ausbuchtungen verzichtet werden, da durch die Dicke der Halteleiste sichergestellt ist, dass nach dem ersten Verschließen der Faltschachtel die aufgrund der Eigenelastizität des Materials an dem breiten Rumpffeld anliegende Abreißlasche an der Halteleiste aufläuft, die einen nicht überwindbaren Widerstand bildet.If the retaining means are designed as a retaining strip as described above, the bulges can be dispensed with, since the thickness of the retaining strip ensures that, after the first closure of the folding box, the tear-off tab attached to the wide trunk field due to the inherent elasticity of the material runs against the retaining strip that forms an insurmountable resistance.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform sind die die Haltemittel als eine an dem breiten Rumpffeld angelenkte Haltelasche ausgebildet, die im Anlenkungsbereich mittig eine Ausnehmung aufweist, durch die die Abreißlasche beim Öffnungsversuch hindurchführbar und sichtbar ist.In a further embodiment, the retaining means are designed as a retaining lug which is articulated on the broad trunk panel and has a recess in the middle of the pivoting region, through which the tear-off tab can be guided and visible during the opening attempt.

Bei entsprechender Dimensionierung der Haltemittel, der Einstecklasche und der Abreißlasche ist es auch möglich, die Funktionalität des Originalitätsverschlusses von außen unsichtbar anzuordnen. Auf diese Weise wird ein Benutzer beim erstmaligen Öffnen keine besondere Vorsicht walten lassen, sondern die Faltschachtel auf herkömmliche Weise öffnen. Es wird dadurch verhindert, dass der Benutzer dazu verleitet wird, den Originalitätsverschluss auf irgendeine Weise zu manipulieren.With appropriate dimensioning of the retaining means, the tuck and the tear-off tab, it is also possible to arrange the functionality of the tamper-evident closure from the outside invisibly. In this way, a user will not exercise any particular care when first opening, but open the carton in a conventional manner. This prevents the user from being tempted to manipulate the tamper-evident closure in any way.

Mit Vorteil weist die erfindungsgemäße Faltschachtel optische Mittel zur Erkennung auf, ob der Originalitätsverschluss bereits geöffnet wurde. Je nach Anwendung kann es erforderlich sein, dass vorhanden sein eines Originalitätsverschlusses bei einer Faltschachtel vollständig zu verbergen oder das vorhanden sein des Originalitätsverschlusses besonders herauszustellen. Durch letzteres wird beispielsweise einem Endverbraucher bzw. Käufer mitgeteilt, dass das gekaufte Produkt sich noch im originalverpackten Zustand befindet.The folding box according to the invention advantageously has optical means for detecting whether the tamper-evident closure has already been opened. Depending on the application, it may be necessary to completely conceal the presence of a tamper-evident closure on a carton or to particularly emphasize the presence of the tamper-evident closure. By the latter, for example, an end user or buyer informed that the purchased product is still in its original packaging state.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die optischen Mittel durch ein Sichtfenster in dem breiten Rumpffeld ausgebildet, durch die die Abreißlasche in Originalitätszustand sichtbar ist.In a preferred embodiment, the optical means are formed by a viewing window in the wide body panel, through which the tear-off tab is visible in originality state.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist die Einstecklasche an der Falzlinie zur Deckelklappe mittig eine Griffausnehmung auf. Durch diese Griffausnehmung wird das Öffnen der Faltschachtel erleichtert, dadurch kann ausreichend Kraft auf den Verschluss beim Öffnen aufgebracht werden, wodurch der Bruchpunkt wirksam überwunden und damit die Abreißlasche wirksam abgerissen werden kann.In a preferred embodiment, the tucker on the fold line to the lid flap in the middle of a handle recess. By this Griffausnehmung the opening of the carton is facilitated, thereby sufficient force can be applied to the closure when opening, whereby the breaking point effectively overcome and thus the tear-off can be torn off effectively.

Mit besonderem Vorteil ist der Kartonzuschnitt der Faltschachtel einstückig ausgebildet.With particular advantage, the carton blank of the carton is integrally formed.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend unter Bezugnahme auf das in den Zeichnungen dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:

Der Zuschnitt 100 besteht aus zwei breiten Rumpffeldern 101, 102 und zwei schmalen Rumpffeldern 103, 104, wobei sich an das eine breite Rumpffeld 101 eine Klebelasche 105 anschließt. Alternativ kann die Klebelasche 105 auch an einem anderen Rumpffeld angeordnet sein. Endseitig an den schmalen Rumpffeldern 103, 104 sind jeweils Verschlusslaschen 106 und 107 angebracht. An den breiten Rumpffeldern 101, 102 sind jeweils gegenüberliegend eine Deckelklappe 111 bzw. eine Haltelasche 112 angebracht. Da in der Fig. 1 ein Faltschachtelzuschnitt für eine Faltschachtel mit zwei identischen Verschlüssen dargestellt ist, die punktsymmetrisch angeordnet sind, wird die vorliegende Erfindung nur anhand der Beschreibung eines Verschlusses erläutert und auf die Beschreibung sowie die Angabe von Bezugszeichen des zweiten Verschlusses in der Fig. 1 verzichtet. Die Anordnung der Verschlüsse kann auch achsensymmetrisch sein, so dass beide Verschlüsse im Endzustand von derselben Seite geöffnet werden können.The Fig. 1 shows the flat carton blank 100 of a carton according to the invention. The blank 100 consists of two wide hull fields 101, 102 and two narrow hull fields 103, 104, with an adhesive tab 105 adjoining the one broad hull field 101. Alternatively, the adhesive flap 105 may also be arranged on another hull field. At the end of the narrow fuselage fields 103, 104, respectively closure tabs 106 and 107 are attached. At the wide fuselage fields 101, 102 are each opposite a lid flap 111 and a retaining tab 112 are attached. Because in the Fig. 1 a carton blank is shown for a carton with two identical closures, which are arranged point symmetry, the present invention will be explained only on the basis of the description of a closure and the description and the indication of reference numerals of the second closure in the Fig. 1 waived. The arrangement of the closures may also be axisymmetric, so that both closures can be opened in the final state of the same side.

An der Deckelklappe 111 ist eine Einstecklasche 113 an einer Falzlinie 114 angelenkt. In der hier dargestellten Ausführungsform weist die Einstecklasche 113 an der Falzlinie 114 mittig eine Griffausnehmung 115 auf. Diese Ausnehmung 115 erleichtert das Öffnen des Verschlusses, kann aber auch weggelassen werden. Die Einstecklasche 113 ist an ihren freien Ecken abgerundet, um das Einstecken zu erleichtern. An der freien, breiten Seite der Einstecklasche 113 ist mittig eine Abreißlasche 116 angeordnet, über eine Sollbruchlinie 117 verbunden. Die Sollbruchlinie 117 ist derart ausgebildet, dass ein Umfalten der Abreißlasche in der der Faltrichtung der Einstecklasche 113 entgegengesetzten Richtung um nahezu 180° ermöglicht ist. Dies ist für die Funktion des Originalitätsverschlusses wichtig, wie weiter unten im Detail erläutert werden wird.On the cover flap 111, a push-in tab 113 is hinged to a fold line 114. In the embodiment shown here, the insertion tab 113 has a handle recess 115 on the fold line 114 in the center. This recess 115 facilitates the opening of the closure, but can also be omitted. The tuck 113 is rounded at its free corners to facilitate insertion. On the free, wide side of the Einstecklasche 113 a tear-off tab 116 is centrally arranged, connected via a predetermined breaking line 117. The predetermined breaking line 117 is designed in such a way that folding over of the tear-off tab in the direction opposite to the folding direction of the push-in tab 113 is enabled by almost 180 °. This is important to the function of the tamper-evident closure, as will be explained in detail below.

In der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Ausführungsform ist die Haltelasche 112 über eine Falzlinie 120 an dem breiten Rumpffeld 102 angelenkt. In der Mitte dieser Falzlinie ist eine Ausnehmung 121 angeordnet, deren Breite etwas größer ist als die Breite der Abreißlasche 116. Die Höhe der Ausnehmung 121 ist gering im Verhältnis zu ihrer Breite. In der Nähe der Falzlinie 120 seitlich versetzt zu der Ausnehmung 121 sind Ausbuchtungen 122, 123, die durch entsprechende Sicken auf der anderen Seite des Faltschachtelzuschnitts erzeugt werden können. Sie dienen dazu, beim Vorkleben der Faltschachtel einen Spalt zwischen dem breiten Rumpffeld 102 und der gefalteten Haltelasche 112 herzustellen, wobei die Haltelasche 112 mit dem breiten Rumpffeld 102 auf der der Ausnehmung 121 abgewandten Seite jenseits der Ausbuchtungen 122, 123 verklebt wird. Die Haltelasche 112 weist in der dargestellten Ausführungsform eine weitere Ausnehmung 124 auf, deren Fläche größer ist als die Abreißlasche 116, damit diese darin eingreifen kann. Alternativ ist es möglich, dass die Haltelasche 112 an ihrem freien Ende nicht geschlossen ist, wodurch sich zwei von der Falzlinie 120 weggerichtete Laschen ergäben, die ebenfalls jenseits der Ausbuchtungen 112, 123 mit dem breiten Rumpffeld 102 verklebt würden.In the in Fig. 1 illustrated embodiment, the retaining tab 112 is hinged via a fold line 120 to the wide fuselage 102. In the middle of this fold line a recess 121 is arranged, whose width is slightly larger than the width of the tear-off tab 116. The height of the recess 121 is small in relation to its width. Near the Fold line 120 laterally offset from the recess 121 are bulges 122, 123, which can be produced by corresponding beads on the other side of the folding box blank. They serve to produce a gap between the wide trunk panel 102 and the folded retaining tab 112 during the pre-life of the folding box, the retaining tab 112 being glued to the wide trunk panel 102 on the side facing away from the recess 121 beyond the bulges 122, 123. The retaining tab 112 has in the illustrated embodiment, a further recess 124 whose area is greater than the tear tab 116 so that they can engage therein. Alternatively, it is possible that the retaining tab 112 is not closed at its free end, resulting in two of the fold line 120 directed away tabs, which would also be glued beyond the bulges 112, 123 with the wide fuselage 102.

In Fig. 2 ist der obere Teil eines flachliegenden Kartonzuschnitt einer Faltschachtel gemäß einer zweiten Ausführungsform der Erfindung dargestellt. Es werden die gleichen Bezugsziffern für gleiche Elemente wie in Fig. 1 verwendet. In dieser zweiten Ausführungsform ist die Haltelasche 112 vollständig an der Falzlinie 120 mit dem breiten Rumpffeld 102 verbunden sein. Die Haltelasche 112 definiert hier wie in der ersten Ausführungsform der Fig. 1 zusammen mit dem breiten Rumpffeld 102 einen Spalt, in den bei geschlossenem Verschluss die Abreißlasche 116 eingreifen kann. In Fig. 2 ist Position der Haltelasche 112 nach Herstellung des Kartonzuschnitts in durchgezogener Linie dargestellt, die Position der Haltelasche 112 nach Vorkonfektionierung ist mit gestrichelten Linien abgebildet.In Fig. 2 the upper part of a flat carton blank of a carton according to a second embodiment of the invention is shown. It will be the same reference numbers for the same elements as in Fig. 1 used. In this second embodiment, the retaining tab 112 is completely connected to the wide trunk panel 102 at the fold line 120. The retaining tab 112 defines here as in the first embodiment of Fig. 1 together with the wide fuselage 102, a gap into which the tear-off tab 116 can engage when the closure is closed. In Fig. 2 is shown position of the retaining tab 112 after production of the carton blank in a solid line, the position of the retaining tab 112 after pre-assembly is shown in dashed lines.

Die Haltelasche 112 muss für die erfindungsgemäße Verschlussfunktion bestimmte Abmessungen aufweisen. Dabei gilt, dass die Höhe der Haltelasche 112, d. h. der Abstand zwischen der Falzlinie 120 und der freien Kante der Haltelasche 112, im Wesentlichen kleiner als die Höhe der Einstecklasche 113, die als Abstand zwischen der Falzlinie 114 und der Sollbruchlinie 117 definiert ist, minus der Höhe der Abreißlasche 116 ist. Damit ist sichergestellt, dass in bei geschlossenem Verschluss die freie Kante der Abreißlasche 116 unmittelbar vor dem Spalt angeordnet ist, der durch die Verklebung der Haltelasche 112 mit dem breiten Rumpffeld 102 ausgebildet ist.The retaining tab 112 must have certain dimensions for the closure function according to the invention. It is true that the height of the retaining tab 112, d. H. the distance between the fold line 120 and the free edge of the retaining tab 112, substantially smaller than the height of the tab 113, which is defined as the distance between the fold line 114 and the predetermined breaking line 117, minus the height of the tear tab 116 is. This ensures that, when the closure is closed, the free edge of the tear-off tab 116 is arranged directly in front of the gap, which is formed by the gluing of the holding tab 112 to the wide body panel 102.

Die Ausbuchtungen 122, 123 sind in der Ausführungsform der Fig. 2 senkrecht zur Öffnungsrichtung angeordnet. Andere Anordnungen sind möglich, es gilt lediglich, dass nach Verklebung der Haltelasche 112 mit dem breiten Rumpffeld 102 der Spalt erhalten bleibt, in den die Abreißlasche 116 beim Öffnungsversuch eingreift. Des Weiteren ist es ebenfalls möglich, dass der so definierte Spalt nicht durch Ausbuchtungen, sondern durch Zwischenlagen, beispielsweise durch Folien oder Papier, erzeugt wird.The bulges 122, 123 are in the embodiment of the Fig. 2 arranged perpendicular to the opening direction. Other arrangements are possible, it is only necessary that after bonding the retaining tab 112 with the wide fuselage 102, the gap is maintained, in which the tear tab 116 engages the opening attempt. Furthermore, it is also possible that the gap thus defined is not generated by bulges, but by intermediate layers, for example by films or paper.

Ein Vorteil der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Ausführungsform ist, dass der Originalitätsverschluss der geschlossenen Faltschachtel nicht sichtbar ist. Durch die über die gesamte Öffnungsbreite laufende Falzlinie 120 verdeckt den Spalt, vor dem im Innern die Abreißlasche angeordnet ist. Der normale Benutzer wird deshalb bei der Öffnung der Schachtel arglos und nach herkömmlichem Muster vorgehen und auf diese Weise den Originalitätsverschluss leichter aufbrechen, als das bei der Ausführungsform der Fig. 1 der Fall sein wird.An advantage of in Fig. 2 illustrated embodiment is that the tamper-evident closure of the closed carton is not visible. By running over the entire opening width fold line 120 covers the gap in front of the inside of the tear-off tab is arranged. The normal user will therefore act innocently and in a conventional pattern when opening the box, thus breaking the tamper-evident seal more easily than in the embodiment of FIG Fig. 1 the case will be.

Nachfolgend wird die Funktion der erfindungsgemäßen Faltschachtel mit Originalitätsverschluss anhand der in Fig. 1 dargestellten bevorzugten Ausführungsform im Detail beschrieben. Die Reihenfolge der abfolgenden Schritte ist dabei nicht als die Erfindung beschränkend anzusehen.The function of the folding box according to the invention with tamper-evident closure on the basis of the in Fig. 1 illustrated preferred embodiment described in detail. The order of the subsequent steps is not to be regarded as limiting the invention.

Der wie in Fig. 1 dargestellte Faltschachtelzuschnitt wird aus geeignetem Kartonmaterial hergestellt und in dem Beispiel mit den entsprechenden Sicken sowie Falz- und Sollbruchlinien versehen. In einem ersten Schritt wird die Haltelasche 112 an der Falzlinie 120 gefaltet, im Klebebereich ausreichend Klebstoff auf die Haltelasche 112 oder das breite Rumpffeld 102 aufgetragen und die Haltelasche 112 auf dem breiten Rumpffeld 102 aufgefaltet oder ggf. damit verklebt. Auf die Außenseite der Klebelasche 105 wird ausreichend Klebstoff aufgetragen. Anschließend wird die Klebelasche 105 mit dem schmalen Rumpffeld 104 verklebt. Ergebnis des bisherigen Vorklebungsprozesses ist eine so genannte vorgeklebte Faltschachtel, die flach gefaltet vom Verpackungshersteller geliefert wird (Auslieferungszustand).The like in Fig. 1 shown folding carton blank is made of suitable cardboard material and provided in the example with the corresponding beads and folding and break lines. In a first step, the retaining tab 112 is folded at the fold line 120, in the adhesive area sufficient adhesive applied to the retaining tab 112 or the wide trunk panel 102 and the retaining tab 112 folded on the wide fuselage 102 or possibly glued to it. On the outside of the adhesive flap 105 sufficient adhesive is applied. Subsequently, the adhesive flap 105 is glued to the narrow trunk panel 104. Result of the previous Vorklebungsprozesses is a so-called pre-glued carton, which is flat folded supplied by the packaging manufacturer (state of delivery).

Derartige vorgeklebte Faltschachteln werden anschließend von bekannten Verpackungsmaschinen mit entsprechender Ware bestückt. Vor der Bestückung wird die flache vorgeklebte Faltschachtel aufgerichtet und es werden am einen Ende der Faltschachtel 100 die Seitenlaschen 106, 107 um 90° gefaltet und die Faltschachtel verschlossen. Nach der Bestückung ist die erfindungsgemäße Faltschachtel mit Originalitätsverschluss bereit, auch am anderen Ende verschlossen zu werden. Dazu werden zunächst die Seitenlaschen 106, 107 und dann die Deckelklappe 111 sowie die Einstecklasche 113 um 90° nach innen gefaltet. Die Abreißlasche 116 wird in entgegengesetzter Faltrichtung um nahezu 180° gefaltet. Anschließend wird die Einstecklasche 113 zusammen mit der Abreißlasche 116 in die Faltschachtelöffnung eingeführt. Dabei verrastet durch die Vorspannung des Kartonmaterials die Abreißlasche 116 nach vollständigem Verschließen der Deckelklappe 111 mit dem Spalt, der sich zwischen der Haltelasche 112 und dem breiten Rumpffeld 102 ausgebildet hat. Verwendet man den Faltschachtelzuschnitt der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Ausführungsform, ist nun die nach außen gefaltete Oberfläche der Abreißlasche 116 durch das Sichtfenster 125 sichtbar.Such pre-glued cartons are then populated by known packaging machines with appropriate goods. Before loading the flat pre-glued carton is erected and it will be at one end of the carton 100, the side flaps 106, 107 folded by 90 ° and closed the carton. After assembly, the carton according to the invention with tamper-evident closure is ready to be closed at the other end. For this purpose, first the side flaps 106, 107 and then the lid flap 111 and the Einstecklasche 113 folded by 90 ° inwards. The tear-off tab 116 is folded in the opposite folding direction by almost 180 °. Subsequently, the Einstecklasche 113 together with the tear-off tab 116 in the Faltschachtelöffnung introduced. In this case, by the bias of the cardboard material, the tear-off tab 116 locks after complete closing of the lid flap 111 with the gap which has formed between the holding tab 112 and the wide trunk panel 102. If one uses the Faltschachtelzuschnitt the in Fig. 1 illustrated embodiment, the outwardly folded surface of the tear-off tab 116 is now visible through the viewing window 125.

Bei geschlossenen Originalitätsverschlüssen befindet sich die Faltschachtel mit Inhalt nun im originalverpackten Zustand. In der bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist an dem Verschluss die Griffausnehmung 115 in der Einstecklasche 113 sichtbar. Greift man in diese Griffausnehmung 115 und bewegt die Deckelklappe 111 und damit den gesamten Originalitätsverschluss nach außen, d. h. in Öffnungsrichtung, bewegt sich die Abreißlasche 116 durch den Spalt hindurch in Öffnungsrichtung. Dadurch wird die Abreißlasche 116 in der Ausnehmung 121 sichtbar bzw. ragt über den Längsrand der Ausnehmung hinaus. Bewegt man die Deckelklappe weiterhin behutsam in Öffnungsrichtung, bemerkt man ein Einrasten am Bruchpunkt der Abreißlasche, an dem die Sollbruchlinie 117 an der Haltelasche 112 zum Anschlag kommt. Eine Bewegung über diesen Bruchpunkt hinaus führt zum Abriss der Abreißlasche 116 an der Sollbruchlinie 117. Ein derartiger Abriss ist durch das Sichtfenster 125 eindeutig sichtbar. Das Sichtfenster 125 kann durch eine vollständige Aussparung ausgebildet sein, die eine beliebige, für die Sichtbarkeit ausreichend große Fläche aufweisen kann und beispielsweise mit durchsichtiger Folie bedeckt sein kann um ein Manipulieren am Originalitätsverschluss zu verhindern. Die abgerissene Abreißlasche 116 verbleibt innerhalb der Faltschachtel, jedoch nicht an ihrer ursprünglichen Position, so dass nunmehr jederzeit sichtbar ist, dass der Originalitätsverschluss aufgebrochen ist.If the tamper-evident closures are closed, the carton with contents is now in its original packaging. In the preferred embodiment, the handle recess 115 in the insertion tab 113 is visible on the closure. If one grips into this handle recess 115 and moves the lid flap 111 and thus the entire tamper-evident closure to the outside, d. H. in the opening direction, the tear tab 116 moves through the gap in the opening direction. As a result, the tear-off tab 116 becomes visible in the recess 121 or projects beyond the longitudinal edge of the recess. If you move the lid flap still gently in the opening direction, you notice a snapping at the breaking point of the tear-off, at which the predetermined breaking line 117 comes to stop on the retaining tab 112. A movement beyond this breaking point leads to the tear-off tab 116 being torn off at the predetermined breaking line 117. Such a tear is clearly visible through the viewing window 125. The viewing window 125 can be formed by a complete recess, which can have any surface that is sufficiently large for visibility, and can be covered, for example, with transparent film in order to prevent tampering with the tamper-evident closure. The torn tear-off tab 116 remains within the carton, but not in its original position, so that now is visible at any time that the tamper-evident closure is broken.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Gegenstand wurde eine Faltschachtel mit Originalitätsverschluss bereitgestellt, die bei der Konfektionierung einfach und schnell handhabbar ist und ohne eine Verklebung auskommt.With the subject invention, a carton was provided with tamper-evident, which is easy and quick to handle in the packaging and manages without gluing.
