Description

The invention relates to a shipping container for at least one stemmed glass with an insert, wherein the insert comprises: a bottom element, two opposing side elements hinged to the bottom element, wherein a first side element is arranged at at least two at a predetermined angle to one another by a substantially horizontal crease line Height sections is divided, wherein the horizontal bending line to the opposite second side member, and wherein in the first side member a slot-shaped opening extends at least partially over the two height sections perpendicular to the horizontal crease line, in which the stem of the stem glass is inserted, and wherein the first side member surmounted at least the stem of the stem glass.

Corresponding inserts are used as additional protection in the packaging and shipping of stemmed glasses, which make special demands on the packaging due to the special shape of the stemware with feet and goblet, as well as intervening stem.

From the US 3,289,829 already a shipping container for stemware is known. The shipping package described here includes an outer packaging and an engaging with the stem glass insert. The insert serves to protect the glass and, in particular, when transporting a plurality of glasses, serves to package the glasses separately from one another, so that optimum protection is ensured. The insert includes first and second surfaces disposed at an angle to each other and foldably interconnected with a narrow slot extending perpendicularly between the two portions across the crease. With the two surfaces arranged at a predetermined angle to each other further surfaces are connected, which on the one hand can be arranged around the foot, and on the other hand extend over the top of the cup. The problem with this use is that it is converted only by folding at predetermined horizontal fold lines in the desired shape, but this remains only after insertion into the outer packaging in this form or held in this. If several rows of corresponding inserts arranged side by side, the insertion of the individual inserts is time consuming. In particular, when opening the packaging, care must be taken that the glasses do not accidentally fall out of the insert and become damaged. It should also be noted that a corresponding insert is adapted in each case only to a specific glass size, so that for each possible glass form a separate insert must be provided.

Another form of foldable shipping container is from the DE 7522190 U known. The shipping container in this case comprises a carton and an insert, wherein the insert is guided around a single stem glass around. For this purpose, the insert is folded into an expander having a substantially x-shaped layout and the glass is inserted into provided recesses for the foot and the cup. Further provided tabs make it possible to fix the x-shaped floor plan, wherein the tabs are arranged in the region of the stem. Again, the package described is again limited to a certain size glass, given by the recesses for foot and cup, so that in turn for each form of glass own use must be provided. Furthermore, the cost of packaging each individual glass is very high, and causes an increased level of necessary packaging material and, associated with it, also a larger necessary storage space for the glasses thus packaged.

Another example of a shipping container is off FR-A-2 223,985 known.

The invention has for its object to provide a shipping container for stemware, which is cheap, easy to manufacture, and ensures increased protection of the stem glass, at the same time a simple and safer insertion and locking and easy insertion of the stem are guaranteed in the use should.

This object is achieved by a shipping package of the known type in that the second side member is divided by a substantially horizontal crease line in at least two at a predetermined angle to each other arranged height sections, wherein the horizontal bending line to the opposite first side member, the second side member at least the Stem of the stem glass protrudes, and that the first and second side member have at least one extending over a portion of the first and second height portions fixing portion, wherein the fixing portions are offset from each other so that the first and second height portions of the first side member and the first and second Height sections of the second side element engage in the use of each other.

The present invention thus provides an insert which makes it possible in a simple manner to fix a stemmed glass inside the insert, the insert extending at least around the foot region and the stem region, in order to provide optimum protection, at the same time easy insertion of the insert in the shipping packaging can be guaranteed. Here, the fixation is completely independent of the size of the glass, so that it allows the present invention for the first time to use the same use for a variety of glass sizes. In this way, the need for necessary inserts can be reduced to a minimum, since the same use is versatile.

The insert thus ensures optimal protection of the glass in the shipping container, so that even high-quality glasses can be shipped using the present use, without requiring tons of packaging materials, and without a large amount of waste is generated.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fixing portions are formed as cutouts with free upper and lower edge, wherein the edges provide support surfaces for each height portion of the opposite side member. By providing corresponding bearing surfaces, it is possible to fix the two height sections arranged at a predetermined angle to one another at this predetermined angle, without the side elements having to be manually held in their position. For this purpose, the two height sections are introduced with their bending line ahead in the fixing of the opposite side member, so that each height section comes with one, the upper or lower edge in abutment.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the fixing sections of the first side element may extend parallel to the slot-shaped opening. As a result, the insertion of the fixing of the opposite side elements is simplified, as well as the production of the insert.

Advantageously, provision may be made for the slot-shaped opening of the first side element to have a fixing section on both sides, and for the area comprising the slot-shaped opening to engage in the opposite fixing section of the second side element. Since the slot-shaped opening fixing portions, ie recesses are provided on both sides, an optimal stabilization of the stem is ensured in the insert, as the opposite second side member engages in each of the fixing of the first element and thus the intermediate portion with slot-shaped opening on both sides of the opposite side member is held. According to another preferred embodiment it can be provided that a fixing section is formed between two slot-shaped openings. If the insert is designed for more than one stemmed glass, the formation of a respective fixing section between two slit-shaped openings arranged next to one another here is sufficient to ensure secure fixing of the juxtaposed glasses.

Advantageously, the length of the fixing section may correspond to the length of the opposite region between two fixing sections or between the fixing section and the longitudinal edge. In this way, on the one hand, easier insertion of the opposite regions of the side elements into the fixing sections is ensured, without too great a play between the individual elements, and at the same time the side edges coming into contact with each other can provide additional support for guiding the fixing sections into each other ,

According to another preferred embodiment it can be provided that the side elements extend at least to above the height of the glass and the glass opening can be covered with at least one lid element hinged to at least one side element. This embodiment serves the additional protection of the glass, in particular the cup and the cup opening.

According to another preferred embodiment it can be provided that the side elements extend to at least over a predetermined height of the glass and the glass can be gripped around with at least one holding element hinged to at least one side element. This embodiment is another way to provide additional protection for the glass cup, wherein the glass cup is embraced from the outside.

Each side element may advantageously have a cover element section and / or a holding element section which adjoin one another approximately in the middle of the glass opening or the glass. This embodiment in turn facilitates the insertion of the glass into the insert or accelerates the packaging of the glass, since the lid member portion and the holding element are simultaneously performed with the merging of the fixing to each other, so that no additional step for closing the holding element or the Cover element is necessary.

According to another preferred embodiment it can be provided that the holding element has a receiving opening for receiving the glass. In this case, preferably each side member on a half receiving opening, which are also performed when merging the two side elements to each other. Since the fixing sections already hold the two side elements together, no additional measures are necessary here in order to connect the two holding elements with one another. In this context, it should be noted that the holding portion essentially serves for the protection of the glass and exerts only a secondary holding function for the cup.

According to another preferred embodiment it can be provided that the peripheral region of the receiving opening of the holding element is formed by tab elements, wherein the inner diameter of the inner edge formed by the outer edge of the tab elements is smaller than the cup diameter. As a result, the holding effect of the holding element is additionally supported and at the same time the holding element designed such that even in the holding element glasses with different shape, i. different glass diameters can be used. In this case, the tab elements are displaced after insertion of the glass of the cup, and thus attach to the outer surface of the cup and hold the glass. Since the tabs provide a larger surface area in contact with the outer surface of the glass cup, a better pressure distribution of the tabs is achieved, so that an optimal protection of the Welches can be ensured, and in particular a punctual pressure is avoided.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the cover element and the holding element can be connected to each other via a web element and spaced from each other. In practice, a combination of cover element and retaining element has proved to be particularly advantageous, since in this way an optimal protection of the glass cup is provided. In this case, it is ensured by the plug-in element that the distance between cover element and retaining element does not change, and at the same time an additional stiffening under pressure from above, i. on the lid member, provided. If the cover element and the holding element are each provided halfway from a side element, the web elements provided on each part provide stop surfaces on which the two elements abut one another.

According to another preferred embodiment, it can be provided that each side element has a recess adjoining the bottom element, into which area an area of the foot of the stem glass can be inserted in use. The provision of the recesses serve for additional fixation of the glass within the insert. Advantageously, the recess can connect substantially as a circle segment to the bending edge to the bottom element. This simplifies the insertion of the foot as well as the removal of the glass from the insert.

According to a further preferred embodiment it can be provided that the insert is designed double-walled, wherein the outer edge region correspond to the inner dimensions of the shipping container. As a result, insertion of the insert is simplified in the shipping container, since the use can be easily introduced without additional holding elements are necessary here. At the same time, in particular, the double-walled design of the side elements provides better protection of the glass, since the packaging is additionally reinforced. The height sections of the first and second side sections, which are arranged at a predetermined angle relative to one another, are arranged inside the insert and can be arranged from outside, i. from the page elements are no longer open and are protected in this way.

According to a preferred embodiment it can be provided that the inner and outer side member are glued to each other above a predetermined height above the first and second height portions. As a result, side sections are fixed to each other, the insertion of the glass simplified because the two side elements must be folded only on each other and at the same time increases the stability of the insert.

According to another preferred embodiment it can be provided that the inner floor element is smaller than the outer floor element, and that the two floor elements are glued together. This embodiment takes into account the recesses provided in the inner side members, whereby the base of the stem glass extends beyond the actual bottom member and ensures that the foot is completely surrounded by the outer bottom member and protected in this way.

Advantageously, the cover element can have recesses on the longitudinal edge to the side wall. These recesses facilitate the opening of the insert and thus the removal of the glass.

According to a further preferred embodiment it can be provided that the insert is formed in one piece. As a result, the necessary material is reduced to a minimum, the insert can be transferred after sticking predetermined areas in its positional shape, and then by folding each other of the side elements of the Folding edges are unfolded and is then immediately ready for use. Since the insert can be stored folded, the necessary storage volume is reduced to a necessary minimum.

According to another preferred embodiment it can be provided that the insert is made of cardboard. Cardboard has proven to be a particularly suitable material.

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

An inventive insert 1 is in FIG. 1 shown. Here, the insert during the transfer from the lying position to the use position, ie in the packaging of a glass 2, shown. How out FIG. 1 becomes clear, the insert is made double-walled, wherein the outer region of a bottom element 3, as well as two side elements 4, 4 'is formed, which are articulated via fold lines 5, 5' to the bottom element 3. The upper edge of the two side elements 4, 4 'is formed by a further bending line 6, 6', via which in each case a cover element section 7, 7 'is articulated. The two cover element sections 7, 7 'are each half as wide as the bottom element 3, so that the common cover element sections 7, 7 'correspond approximately to the width of the floor element 3. The outer elements described so far determine the shape of the insert, which, as in FIG. 2 shown, is rectangular. Here, the outer dimensions of the insert correspond to the inner dimensions of the shipping container, such as in FIG. 8 shown.

The structure for fixing the glass is disposed inside, and is formed by the inner members. Here, the inner elements are integrally connected to the outer elements, i. they are formed in extension of the cover element sections 7, 7 '. In this case, the cover element sections 7, 7 'have a bending line 8, 8' on their abutting edge in use, via which web elements 9, 9 'are hinged to the cover element sections. The web element 9, 9 'is followed in each case by a holding element 10, 10', a side element section 11, 11 ', a second height section 12, 12', a first height section 13, 13 ', and an inner bottom element 14, 14'. Again, the individual elements in each case over bending lines, 15, 15 ', 16, 16' 17, 17 ', 18, 18', 19 and 19 'limited and also articulated.

The bottom element 14, 14 'is formed by the end regions of the originally rectangular carton, and comprises two partial sections 14, 14', which abut one another centrally and are glued to the outer bottom element 3. Here, the width of the inner bottom element 14, 14 'is less than that of the outer bottom element 3. The inner bottom element 14, 14', in use forms the surface on which the foot of the handle glass to be packaged is placed. Via the bending line 19, 19 ', a first height section 13, 13' is articulated to each of the inner floor section sections 14, 14 ', to which directly the second height section 12, 12' adjoins. The two height portions are horizontally separated by the crease line 18, 18 ', and are disposed in use at the crease line 18 at a predetermined angle to each other, the crease line 18, 18' respectively facing the opposite inner side member. In the area of these height sections 13, 13 'and 12, 12' further means are formed to fix the glass 2, in particular the stem of the glass within the insert and to hold.

In detail, the first inner side element in the region of the first and second height section 13, 12 has slot-shaped openings 20, which extend perpendicular to the bending line 18 and crossing over a predetermined region of the first and second height section. The width of the slot-shaped opening is in this case selected so that the stem of a stem glass can be easily inserted into the slot-shaped opening, wherein the slot-shaped opening 20 in the region of the bending line 18 is moved toward the stem of the glass with first and second height sections folded toward one another.

In order to fix and hold the inner side element engaged with the handle of the stem glass 2 in the desired position on the stem, fixing elements 21 are provided on both inner side elements in the region of the first and second height sections 13, 13 ', 12, 12'. 21 'formed, which in use, such as in FIG. 2 illustrated, meshed.

These fixing elements 21, 21 'are rectangular recesses which are respectively formed over an area of the first and second height sections extending over the bend line 18, 18', and offset from one another in the region of the first inner side element and the second inner side element are arranged. Each inner side member therefore has in the region of the first and second height portion, in particular around the bending line 18, 18 'around, projections 22, 22' and recesses 21, 21 ', wherein each projection can be inserted into a recess of the opposite side member. Here, the width and height of each recess corresponds to the width and height of the oppositely disposed projection 22, 22 '. The projection is in this case formed by a predetermined region of the first and second height element and the intermediate fold line 18, 18 '. If the projections 22, 22 'are inserted into the recess 21, 21', the horizontal longitudinal edges of the recess 21, 21 'form bearing surfaces on which the surface of the projections extending into the interior of the side element rests. This ensures that the predetermined angle between the first and second height sections is maintained even after the insertion of the lens and the collapse of the insert. The projection is thus clamped in the recess 21 at the predetermined angle.

With regard to the first inner side element, it should be noted that the slot-shaped opening 20 is in each case in the middle of a projection 22, this projection 22 being surrounded on both sides by a recess 21. In this way, the stem of the glass is clamped in the center of the projection 22, and is surrounded after merging the first and second inner side member of two projections 22 ', so that an optimal fixation of the glass can be ensured. The stem of the glass is in this case on the one hand gripped by the slot-shaped opening, on the other hand, the glass is also at the horizontal bearing edges formed by the recess 21, so that the stem within the slot-shaped opening can not move back and forth.

For additional fixing in the region of the first height section 13, 13 'immediately adjacent to the bending line 19, 19' adjacent recesses 23, 23 'are formed, in which the foot of the stem glass 2 can be partially inserted. The recesses 23, 23 'in this case extend as a circular section into the first height section 13, 13', so that the upwardly arched foot of the stem glass has sufficient space in the recess 23, 23 'when the first height sections are in their position in use be brought, ie be angled towards and above the foot of the glass.

In FIG. 3 the interengagement of the first and second inner side elements is shown enlarged. It is clear that the stem of the glass is in contact with the abutment edges of the recess 21. At the same time it is shown how the angle formed between the first and second height portion is held by the engagement in the opposite recess 21.

Since the outer bottom member 3 is larger than the inner bottom member 14, 14 ', the foot of the glass is completely within the insert and can not be damaged during packaging.

In the FIGS. 5 and 6 are shown other inserts according to the invention, wherein in FIG. 5 in particular the second inner side element and in FIG. 6 above all, the first inner side element is shown. Here are the in the FIGS. 5 and 6 already partially closed, so that the projections 22 almost reach into the recesses 21.

The first and second height sections 13, 13 ', 12, 12' are adjoined in each case by a side section 11, 11 'which runs parallel to the outer side element 4, 4' and is glued thereto. By this partial bonding of the inner side member with the outer side member, an automatic erection of the first and second height portion can be achieved when folding the side members. At the same time, the stability of the entire insert increases.

At the side portion 11, 11 'is connected to the articulated edge 16, 16' hinged to a holding element 10, 10 ', which in use 90 ° relative to side portion 11, 11' is angled. In the region of the holding element, a circular recess 24 is formed, which has approximately the shape of a semicircle, so that the two holding elements 10, 10 'complement each other to form a circular recess. The perimeter of the circular Recess 24, 24 'is hereby formed by tab members 25, 25', which extend to the opening of the circular element, and whose outer edge forms the inner diameter of the circular opening 24, 24 '. The circular opening is in each case formed above the slot-shaped opening 20 in such a way that the slot-shaped opening is arranged centrally to the circular opening.

As in FIG. 2 is shown, is held by the holding member 10 in the closed use of the cup of the stem glass 2. Here is, as well as in FIG. 2 and in particular in the magnification in FIG. 4 illustrated that holding element at a position which is located in the region of the cup of the stem glass 2.

The cup is automatically enclosed by the circular recess 24 when the two side elements are brought into contact with one another, the individual tab elements 25 surrounding the circular recess 24 ensuring that the cup is held within the recess, even if the diameter of the cup is equal to the diameter the circular recess 24 does not match. As in FIG. 4 shown, the inner diameter of the circular recess 24 formed by the individual tabs 25 has a smaller inner diameter than the outer diameter of the cup. By inserting the cup, the individual tabs are pushed upwards and extend around the glass cup to hold it in place. The tabs can be easily bent in this case, so that no strong pressure to move the position of the individual tabs is necessary. These tabs hold the cup substantially in position, forming a buffer element for protecting the glass. The essential fixation of the stem glass is effected on the stem itself. The provision of the tabs makes it possible to keep glass chalices with different diameters safely within the recess.

As already explained, the retaining element is connected via web elements 9, 9 'to the actual outer cover element. The web element extends only in the areas lying between the circular recesses of the holding element depending on how many circular recesses were formed in the insert and how many glasses are packed in the insert at the same time.

As well as out FIG. 4 becomes clear, the lid member is located above the top of the glass, so that a buffer zone is also provided here, which protects the glass from damage. The web elements of the first and second side elements, which after packaging a glass in abutment with each other can contribute here additionally to the stabilization of the cover element sections. It should be noted that in addition to the packaging, eg in FIG. 8 is shown exerted a pressure on the side members, so that the lid member sections can not move within the package.

In order to facilitate the removal of the thus packaged glasses, a recess 26 may be formed in the lid member sections, which are formed adjacent to the fold lines 6, 6 '. These recesses may preferably be semicircular in order to facilitate the insertion of a finger of the user.

Furthermore, the insert in the region of the outer side walls 4, 4 ', in particular in the region of the transition of the outer side walls 4, 4' to the outer bottom element 3 feet 27 have. These feet 27 are in this case formed integrally with the outer side members 4, 4 ', and are formed by punching a predetermined area from the bottom 3. In the area of the feet 27, the bending line 5, 5 'does not extend between the outer side element 4, 4' and the bottom element 3.

As in FIG. 7 shown, the insert according to the invention can be stored lying. Since the outer side member and the inner side member and the inner bottom member and the outer bottom member are partially glued together, no additional Aufrichtungs- or connection steps by the user are necessary. The insert may be used in the provided straight-lying form and is converted to the desired shape by simply moving the side members toward each other. The glass is placed here in the area indicated by the recesses 23, 23 'and simply grasped by the fixing measures during the erection of the side walls and held therein.

After the insert has been passed around the glass, it is placed in an appropriate shipping container, such as in FIG. 8 shown, introduced and can be shipped in such a packaged. On site, the insert can be easily transferred to a lying position after removal of the glass and used again. If the use is no longer to be used, the folded can be disposed of, so that also here only a minimum of necessary space is needed. Since the recesses of the insert, in particular the recesses 23 and the circular recess 24 of the holding element 10 are not limited to a specific glass size, it is possible the use according to the invention for different glass sizes, ie both different stem heights, different foot widths as well as different cup diameters to use. At best, it may be necessary to use an additional insert for a special glass form, eg champagne flutes, whose cup diameter differs significantly from the diameter of the wine glasses. Again, it is possible to package champagne glasses from different manufacturers, ie with different sizes in one and the same use.
