Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Verpackungsbehälter für Gebäckteile, insbesondere Kuchen, bestehend aus einem Unterteil mit einer bodenseitigen Auflagefläche, an die sich zwei Seitenwände und eine Rückwand anschließen, wobei die beiden Seitenwände jeweils einen sich von der Rückwand zur Vorderseite nach vorne hin verjüngenden Verlauf aufweisen, und einem an der Rückwand des Unterteiles schwenkbar angeordneten haubenförmigen Oberteil, welches gegenüber dem Unterteil von einer geschlossenen Position in eine aufgeklappte Position und umgekehrt schwenkbar ist, und eine dachseitige Wand, eine Vorderwand sowie zwei sich an die dachseitige Wand seitlich anschließende Seitenwände aufweist, die sich in der geschlossenen Position des Oberteiles mit ihren den Begrenzungsrändern der Seitenwänden des Unterteiles zugewandten Begrenzungsrändern an diesen abstützen und wobei an den Begrenzungsrändern von Unterteil und Oberteil Mittel angeordnet sind, um das Oberteil und das Unterteil durch Form- und/oder Kraftschluss in der geschlossenen Position zu halten.The invention relates to a packaging container for pastry parts, in particular cake, consisting of a lower part with a bottom-side support surface, to which connect two side walls and a rear wall, wherein the two side walls each have a tapering from the rear wall to the front side, and one at the Rear wall of the lower part pivotally arranged hood-shaped upper part, which is pivotable relative to the lower part of a closed position in an unfolded position and vice versa, and a roof-side wall, a front wall and two laterally adjacent to the roof-side wall side walls, which are in the closed position the upper part with their boundary edges of the side walls of the lower part facing boundary edges supported on these and being arranged on the boundary edges of the lower part and upper part means to hold the upper part and the lower part by positive and / or frictional engagement in the closed position.

Derartige Verpackungsbehälter sind bekannt. Sie werden in der Regel aus Kunststoff gefertigt, wobei bevorzugt ein transparenter Kunststoff zur Anwendung kommt, um die Ware schon in ihrer Verpackung erkennen und begutachten zu können. Bei den zu verpackenden Gebäckteilen handelt es sich häufig um relativ empfindliche Teile, welche weder einen harten Zugriff noch sonstigen Druck oder Stöße vertragen. Das gilt insbesondere dann, wenn es sich bei den Gebäckteilen beispielsweise um Cremeschnitten handelt, welche weich und ohne stabile Kontur sind, so dass es Mühe macht, sie unbeschadet in einen Verpackungsbehälter umzusetzen. Solche Gebäckteile sind daher in der Regel auch nicht automatisch, sondern lediglich manuell in entsprechende Verpackungen einsetzbar. Je weicher und fragiler dabei ein Gebäckstück ist, je störanfälliger erweist sich das Befüllen des Verpackungsbehälters. Dabei kann der Verpackungsbehälter beispielsweise durch unzureichende Bodenfreiheit beim Absetzen des Produktes oder durch eine unzureichende Standfestigkeit, welche nur schwer mit einer Hand zu kompensieren ist, Anlass zu Störungen bei dem Befüllen mit den Gebäckteilen geben.Such packaging containers are known. They are usually made of plastic, preferably a transparent plastic is used to recognize the goods already in their packaging and to be able to assess. The pastry parts to be packaged are often relatively sensitive parts that can not tolerate hard access, pressure or shock. This is especially true when it comes to the pastry parts, for example, to cream slices, which are soft and without a stable contour, so that it makes trouble to put them undamaged into a packaging container. Such pastry parts are therefore usually not automatically, but only manually used in appropriate packaging. The softer and more fragile a pastry piece is, the more susceptible to failure the filling of the packaging container proves. In this case, the packaging container, for example, by insufficient ground clearance when discontinuing the product or by insufficient stability, which is difficult to compensate with one hand, give rise to disturbances in the filling with the pastry parts.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Verpackungsbehälter der eingangs erwähnten Art anzugeben, bei dem in der aufgeklappten Position das Befüllen selbst mit weichen und empfindlichen Gebäckteilen, wie Cremeschnitten, problemlos möglich ist.The invention has for its object to provide a packaging container of the type mentioned, in which in the unfolded position Filling even with soft and delicate pastry parts, such as cream slices, is easily possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere, besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung offenbaren die Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Further, particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention disclose the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung beruht im wesentlichen auf dem Gedanken, die beiden Seitenwände des Unterteiles derart auszubilden, dass sie jeweils einen sich von der Rückwand zur Vorderseite nach vorne bis auf die Auflagefläche des Unterteiles hin verjüngenden Verlauf aufweisen, wobei sich an die Auflagefläche vorderseitig ein vorderer Begrenzungsrand anschließt. Außerdem ist die dachseitige Wand des Oberteiles derart gewählt, dass sie in der aufgeklappten Position des Oberteiles mindestens in einem Teilbereich eine rückwärtige Abstützfläche für das Unterteil und ihre Vorderwand, vorzugsweise mindestens teilweise eine die Auflagefläche des Unterteiles verlängernde bodenseitige Abstützfläche bildet.The invention is based essentially on the idea of forming the two side walls of the lower part such that they each have a tapering from the rear wall to the front side to the support surface of the lower part, wherein the front side of the support surface is followed by a front boundary edge , In addition, the roof-side wall of the upper part is selected such that it forms in the unfolded position of the upper part at least in a partial region a rear support surface for the lower part and its front wall, preferably at least partially a support surface of the lower part extending bottom-side support surface.

Durch den sich bis zur Auflagefläche hin verjüngenden Verlauf der Seitenwände des Unterteiles wird erreicht, dass der Verpackungsbehälter in der aufgeklappten Position im Wesentlichen barrierefrei von vorne mit einem Gebäckteil (oder auch mehreren) befüllt werden kann. Durch die rückseitige Abstützung des Unterteiles mittels des Oberteiles ist es möglich, Ober- und Unterteil mit nur einer Hand in eine feste Zwangslage zu bringen und darin zu halten. Dabei gibt das Oberteil nicht nur die Öffnung des Verpackungsbehälters frei, sondern bildet eine äußerst wirksame rückwärtige Abstützfläche, so dass der offene Verpackungsbehälter optimal und sicher am dafür vorgesehenen Platz mit einer Hand gehalten werden kann, während er mit der anderen Hand befüllt wird.By tapering to the support surface course of the side walls of the lower part is achieved that the packaging container can be filled in the unfolded position substantially barrier-free from the front with a pastry part (or more). By the back support of the lower part by means of the upper part, it is possible to bring the upper and lower parts with one hand in a fixed predicament and to hold it. In this case, the upper part not only exposes the opening of the packaging container, but forms an extremely effective rear support surface, so that the open packaging container can be optimally and safely held in the space provided with one hand while it is filled with the other hand.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Verpackungsbehälter quaderförmig ausgebildet und die Breite der dachseitigen Wand des Oberteiles vorzugsweise derart gewählt, dass sie etwa der Höhe der Rückwand des Unterteiles entspricht. Dadurch ergeben sich in der aufgeklappten Position des Oberteiles größtmögliche Kontaktflächen zwischen der Rückwand des Unterteiles und der dachseitigen Wand des Oberteiles sowie gegebenenfalls auch eine größtmögliche Abstützfläche der Vorderwand des Oberteiles an dem Boden, sofern der Verpackungsbehälter bei seiner bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung auf diesem aufliegt bzw. gegen diesen gedrückt wird.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the packaging container is cuboid and the width of the roof-side wall of the upper part preferably chosen such that it is approximately equal to the height of Rear wall of the lower part corresponds. This results in the unfolded position of the upper part of the largest possible contact surfaces between the rear wall of the lower part and the roof side wall of the upper part and possibly also a maximum support surface of the front wall of the upper part of the bottom, if the packaging container rests on its intended use on this or against this is pressed.

Vorzugsweise kann die Auflagefläche des Unterteiles Längsrippen umfassen, die von seinem vorderen Begrenzungsrand zur Rückwand des Unterteiles verlaufen, und deren Höhe beispielsweise derart gewählt ist, dass sie etwa bis zur Höhe des vorderen Begrenzungsrandes reichen.Preferably, the support surface of the lower part may comprise longitudinal ribs extending from its front boundary edge to the rear wall of the lower part, and whose height is for example selected such that they extend approximately to the height of the front boundary edge.

Als vorteilhaft hat es sich ferner erwiesen, wenn die Längsrippen so weit voneinander beabstandet sind, dass ein Gebäckstück mit Hilfe eines Gebäckhebers (beispielsweise eines Messers oder eines Schiebers etc.) in das Unterteil abgesetzt oder diesem entnommen werden kann, wobei der Gebäckheber derart ausgebildet sein kann, daß er in den Zwischenraum zwischen zwei Längsrippen einführbar ist.It has also proved to be advantageous if the longitudinal ribs are spaced so far apart that a pastry piece with the help of a pastry lifter (for example, a knife or a slider, etc.) can be placed or removed in the lower part, wherein the pastry lifter be designed may be that it can be inserted into the space between two longitudinal ribs.

Um eine schnelle und sichere Verbindung von Ober- und Unterteil herzustellen, hat es sich als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn die Begrenzungsränder von Ober- und Unterteil in der geschlossenen Position flach aufeinanderliegen und lediglich an den vorderen Begrenzungsrändern von Ober- und Unterteil Verschlussmittel vorgesehen sind. Als Verschlussmittel können Mittel dienen, die an dem vorderen Begrenzungsrand des Unterteiles nach oben vorspringende Verschluss- oder Haltenoppen umfassen, welche jeweils eine nach außen gerichtete Einbuchtung aufweisen, in die in der geschlossenen Position des Oberteiles ein nach innen gerichteter Vorsprung des Begrenzungsrandes des Oberteiles eingreift.In order to produce a fast and secure connection of the upper and lower part, it has proved to be particularly advantageous if the boundary edges of upper and lower part in the closed position lie flat on each other and are provided only at the front boundary edges of the upper and lower part closure means. Means may serve as closure means, which comprise at the front boundary edge of the lower part upwardly projecting closure or holding nubs, which each have an outwardly directed indentation, in which engages in the closed position of the upper part an inwardly directed projection of the boundary edge of the upper part.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind an den vorderen Begrenzungsrändern von Ober- und Unterteil insgesamt zwei Verschlussmittel vorgesehen, die jeweils an einem der beiden seitlichen Endbereiche der Begrenzungsränder angeordnet sind.In a preferred embodiment of the invention are at the front boundary edges of the upper and lower part a total of two Closing means provided, which are each arranged at one of the two lateral end portions of the boundary edges.

In den Fig.1-3 ist mit 1 ein erfindungsgemäßer quaderförmiger Verpackungsbehälter beispielsweise für Cremeschnitten bezeichnet. Der Verpackungsbehälter 1 umfasst ein aus einem durchsichtigen Kunststoff bestehendes Unterteil 2 mit einer bodenseitigen Auflagefläche 3, an die sich zwei Seitenwände 4, 5 und eine Rückwand 6 anschließen, wobei die beiden Seitenwände 4, 5 jeweils einen sich von der Rückwand 6 bis zu dem vorderseitigen Bereich der Auflagefläche 3 hin verjüngenden Verlauf aufweisen.In the Fig.1-3 1 denotes a cuboid packaging container according to the invention, for example for cream cuttings. The packaging container 1 comprises a lower part 2 consisting of a transparent plastic with a base-side bearing surface 3, to which two side walls 4, 5 and a rear wall 6 adjoin, the two side walls 4, 5 each extending from the rear wall 6 to the front side Area of the support surface 3 have tapering course.

Mit der Rückwand 6 des Unterteiles 2 ist ein ebenfalls aus einem durchsichtigen Kunststoff bestehendes haubenförmiges Oberteil 7 über ein Scharnier 8 schwenkbar verbunden, welches gegenüber dem Unterteil 2 von einer geschlossenen Position (Fig.1 und 2) in eine aufgeklappte Position (Fig.3) und umgekehrt schwenkbar ist.With the rear wall 6 of the lower part 2, a likewise consisting of a transparent plastic hood-shaped upper part 7 is pivotally connected via a hinge 8, which relative to the lower part 2 from a closed position ( Fig.1 and 2 ) in an unfolded position ( Figure 3 ) and is pivotable vice versa.

Das haubenförmige Oberteil 7 umfasst eine dachseitige Wand 9, eine Vorderwand 10 sowie zwei sich an die dachseitige Wand 9 seitlich anschließende Seitenwände 11, 12. In der geschlossenen Position des Oberteiles 7 stützen sich die den Begrenzungsrändern 13, 14 der Seitenwände 4, 5 des Unterteiles 2 zugewandten Begrenzungsränder 15, 16 des Oberteiles 7 an diesen ab und liegen dabei flach aufeinander. An den vorderseitigen Begrenzungsrändern 17, 18 von Unterteil 2 und Oberteil 7, die ebenfalls flach aufeinanderliegen, sind seitlich zwei Verschlussmittel 19, 20 angeordnet, um das Oberteil 7 und das Unterteil 2 durch Form- und/oder Kraftschluss in der geschlossenen Position zu halten.The hood-shaped upper part 7 comprises a roof-side wall 9, a front wall 10 and two laterally adjoining the roof-side wall 9 side walls 11, 12. In the closed position of the upper part 7 are based the boundary edges 13, 14 of the side walls 4, 5 of the lower part 2 facing boundary edges 15, 16 of the upper part 7 of these and lie flat against each other. At the front boundary edges 17, 18 of the lower part 2 and upper part 7, which are also flat on top of each other, two closure means 19, 20 are arranged to hold the upper part 7 and the lower part 2 by positive and / or frictional engagement in the closed position.

Wie den Fig.1-3 entnommen werden kann, ist die Breite B der dachseitigen Wand 9 des Oberteiles 7 derart gewählt, dass sie etwa gleich der Höhe H der Rückwand 6 des Unterteiles 2 ist. Dadurch ergibt sich in der aufgeklappten Position des Oberteiles 7 (Fig.3) eine relativ große Kontaktfläche 21 zwischen der Rückwand 6 des Unterteiles 2 und der dachseitigen Wand 9 des Oberteiles 7 (eine vollständige Anlage der Rückwand 6 des Unterteiles 2 an die dachseitige Wand 9 verhindert hier die Anordnung des Scharnieres 8). Außerdem bildet die Vorderwand 10 des Oberteiles 7 in diesem Fall eine in der Ebene des Bodens 22 (Fig.1), auf dem sich der Verpackungsbehälter 1 befindet, verlaufende und die Auflagefläche 3 des Unterteiles 2 verlängernde bodenseitige Abstützfläche.Like that Fig.1-3 can be removed, the width B of the roof-side wall 9 of the upper part 7 is selected such that it is approximately equal to the height H of the rear wall 6 of the lower part 2. This results in the unfolded position of the upper part 7 (FIG. Figure 3 ) a relatively large contact surface 21 between the rear wall 6 of the lower part 2 and the roof-side wall 9 of the upper part 7 (a complete system of the rear wall 6 of the lower part 2 to the roof-side wall 9 prevents the arrangement of the hinge 8). In addition, the front wall 10 of the upper part 7 forms in this case a in the plane of the bottom 22 (FIG. Fig.1 ), on which the packaging container 1 is located, extending and the support surface 3 of the lower part 2 extending bottom-side support surface.

Wie in den Fig.2 und 3 durch gestrichelte Linien angedeutet ist, umfasst die Auflagefläche 3 des Unterteiles 2 Längsrippen 23, die von dem Begrenzungsrand 17 zur Rückwand 6 verlaufen, wobei die Höhe der Längsrippen 23 derart gewählt sind, dass sie etwa bis zur Höhe des vorderen Begrenzungsrandes 17 reichen.As in the Fig.2 and 3 indicated by dashed lines, the support surface 3 of the lower part 2 comprises longitudinal ribs 23 which extend from the boundary edge 17 to the rear wall 6, wherein the height of the longitudinal ribs 23 are selected such that they extend approximately to the height of the front boundary edge 17.

Die Verschlussmittel 19, 20 zur Verbindung von Oberteil 7 und Unterteil 2 (vgl. auch Fig.4) umfassen jeweils an dem vorderen Begrenzungsrand 17 des Unterteiles 2 seitlich nach oben vorspringende Verschluss- oder Haltenoppen 24, welche jeweils eine nach außen gerichtete Einbuchtung 25 aufweisen in die ein entsprechender, nach innen gerichteter Vorsprung 26 des vorderen Begrenzungsrandes 18 des Oberteiles 7 eingreift.The closure means 19, 20 for connecting upper part 7 and lower part 2 (cf. Figure 4 ) each comprise at the front boundary edge 17 of the lower part 2 laterally upwardly projecting locking or holding nubs 24, each having an outwardly directed indentation 25 into which a corresponding, inwardly directed projection 26 of the front boundary edge 18 of the upper part 7 engages.

Soll nun der beispielsweise durch Tiefziehen hergestellte Verpackungsbehälter 1 mit einer Cremeschnitte (nicht dargestellt) gefüllt werden, so wird der geschlossene Verpackungsbehälter 1 (Fig.1 und 2) zunächst geöffnet, indem beispielsweise mit der linken Hand das Unterteil 2 umgriffen und mit der rechten Hand das Oberteil 7 in seine aufgeklappte Position geschwenkt wird (Fig.3). Anschließend wird mit der linken Hand der gesamte Verpackungsbehälter 1 gehalten, wobei mit dem Daumen gegen die Rückwand 6 des Unterteiles 2 und mit dem Zeigefinger gegen die dachseitige Wand 9 des Oberteiles 7 gedrückt wird. Mit der rechten Hand wird dann die Cremeschnitte beispielsweise mittels eines relativ flachen Tortenhebers auf die Längsrippen 23 der Auflagefläche 3 des Unterteiles 2 gelegt.If the packaging container 1 produced by deep-drawing, for example, is to be filled with a cream cut (not shown), then the closed packaging container 1 (FIG. Fig.1 and 2 ) first opened by, for example, embraced with the left hand, the lower part 2 and is pivoted with the right hand, the upper part 7 in its unfolded position ( Figure 3 ). Subsequently, the entire packaging container 1 is held with the left hand, being pressed with the thumb against the rear wall 6 of the lower part 2 and with the index finger against the roof-side wall 9 of the upper part 7. With the right hand, the cream slices are then placed, for example by means of a relatively flat cake server on the longitudinal ribs 23 of the support surface 3 of the lower part 2.

Abschließend kann dann der Verpackungsbehälter 1 verschlossen werden, indem das Oberteil 7 in seine geschlossene Position einfach verschwenkt wird. Diesem Bewegungsvorgang steht kein Widerstand entgegen, da das Oberteil 7 dem Unterteil 2 lediglich berührungslos angenähert wird. Erst kurz vor dem Aufliegen des Oberteils 7 auf dem Unterteil 2 kommt es zur Berührung der Verschlussmittel 19,20. Dann braucht die das Oberteil 7 führende Hand des Verpackers lediglich einen geringfügigen Druck in Richtung auf die Auflagefläche 3 des Unterteils 2 auszuüben, um ohne nennenswerte Verformung von Ober- oder Unterteil 7,2 die Verschlussmittel 19, 20 in Eingriff miteinander zu bringen und damit den Verpackungsbehälter in eine ordnungsgemäße Schließposition, welche später noch durch Anbringen einer selbstklebenden Banderole dauerhaft (für Transportzwecke) gesichert werden kann.Finally, then the packaging container 1 can be closed by the upper part 7 is simply pivoted to its closed position. This movement process is not resisted because the upper part 7 is approached to the lower part 2 only contact. Only shortly before the rest of the upper part 7 on the lower part 2 comes to touch the closure means 19,20. Then the hand of the packer carrying the upper part 7 only needs to exert a slight pressure in the direction of the support surface 3 of the lower part 2 in order to bring the closure means 19, 20 into engagement with each other without appreciable deformation of the upper or lower part 7.2 Packaging container in a proper closed position, which later by attaching a self-adhesive banderole permanently (for transport purposes) can be secured.

Anzumerken bleibt auch noch, dass das Verschließen so einfach und problemlos vonstatten geht, dass es praktisch beim Weiterreichen des Verpackungsbehälters mit ein und derselben Hand erfolgen kann und ein separater, zusätzlicher Arbeitsgang für das Verschließen praktisch entfällt.It should also be noted that the closing is so simple and easy that it can be done practically handing over the packaging container with one and the same hand and a separate, additional operation for the closure practically eliminated.

Die Erfindung ist selbstverständlich nicht auf das vorstehend beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. So kann beispielsweise statt zwei auch nur ein Verschlussmittel vorgesehen sein, welches sich dann vorzugsweise im mittleren Bereich der vorderen Begrenzungsränder befindet.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. Thus, for example, instead of two, only one closure means can be provided, which is then preferably located in the middle region of the front boundary edges.
