Description

Packungsgebinde mit Entnahmehilfe, insbesondere für Zigarettenpackungen Packing container with removal aid, in particular for cigarette packs
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Packungsgebinde, insbesondere ein Packungsgebinde für Zigarettenpackungen. Das Packungsgebinde kann eine Umhüllung aber auch ein Dispenser bzw. Spender für solche Packungen sein. In der vorliegenden Beschreibung wird die erfindungsgemäße Technik anhand eines Packungsgebindes für Tabakartikel erläutert, wobei darauf hinzuweisen ist, dass sie ohne weiteres auch umsetzbar ist, wenn Packungen für andere Artikel zu einem Gebinde zusammengefügt werden.The invention relates to a packaging container, in particular a packaging container for cigarette packs. The package can be a wrapper but also a dispenser or dispenser for such packages. In the present description, the technique according to the invention will be explained on the basis of a packaging container for tobacco products, it being understood that it is easily implementable when packages for other articles are assembled into a container.
Tabakartikel gelangen packungsweise aber auch in Gebinden ("stangenweise") in den Verkauf. Dabei werden manchmal Gebinde mit 10 Packungen angeboten, die direkt nebeneinander, d.h. in einer Reihe liegen, es sind aber auch Gebinde mit zwei Packungsreihen bekannt, in denen nebeneinander je fünf (oder mehr) Packungen gestapelt sind.Tobacco products pack way but also in containers ("rod-wise") in the sale. This sometimes offers packages of 10 packs, which are directly next to each other, i. lie in a row, but there are also packages with two rows of packages known in which side by side five (or more) packs are stacked.
Problematisch ist bei solchen Gebinden immer die Entnahme einzelner Packungen, weil die Packungen entweder schwer greifbar sind oder die Gebindeverpackung (bei Zigaretten oft aus Papier oder Karton) zerstört werden muss, um an die einzelnen Packungen zu gelangen.The problem with such containers is always the removal of individual packages, because the packages are either difficult to reach or the package packaging (in cigarettes often made of paper or cardboard) must be destroyed in order to get to the individual packages.
In der GB 2 341 174 A und der US 6,062,424 werden Umverpackungen für einzelne Packungen beschrieben, die auftrennbare Entnahmeöffhungen haben. Für Gebinde mit mehreren Stapeln, bei denen eine Packung eines Stapels es schwierig macht, die daneben liegende Packung des anderen Stapels leicht zu entnehmen, wird jedoch kein befriedigender Lösungsansatz gegeben.In GB 2 341 174 A and US Pat. No. 6,062,424, outer packages for individual packages are described which have separable removal openings. However, for packages with multiple stacks, where one pack of one stack makes it difficult to easily remove the adjacent pack of the other stack, a satisfactory approach is not given.
Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, die Entnahme von einzelnen Packungen aus einem Packungsgebinde mit mindestens zwei nebeneinander liegenden Packungsstapeln zu erleichtern bzw. in einfacher Weise möglich zu machen. Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Packungsgebinde gemäß dem Anspruch 1 gelöst. Die Unteransprüche definieren bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung. Das erfindungsgemäße Packungsgebinde umfasst mindestens zwei nebeneinander liegende Stapel von Packungen, insbesondere Zigarettenpackungen, sowie eine äußere Umhüllung, welche die Stapel umgreift, wobei im Bereich einer Stirnseite des Gebindes eine Entnahmeöffnung vorgesehen oder herstellbar ist. An der Stirnseite mit der Entnahmeöffnung ist zwischen zwei Stapeln eine Halteeinrichtung vorgesehen, die verstellbar auf einen oder einen anderen, insbesondere daneben liegenden, Stapel wirkt und dabei dessen Packungen am Vordringen in den Bereich der Entnahmeöffnung hindert.It is the object of the present invention to facilitate the removal of individual packs from a packaging pack with at least two juxtaposed pack stacks or to make it possible in a simple manner. This object is achieved by a packing container according to claim 1. The subclaims define preferred embodiments of the invention. The packing container according to the invention comprises at least two juxtaposed stacks of packs, in particular cigarette packs, as well as an outer casing which surrounds the stacks, wherein a removal opening is provided or producible in the region of an end face of the pack. On the front side with the removal opening, a holding device is provided between two stacks, which is adjustably acting on one or another, in particular adjacent, stack and thereby prevents the packs from penetrating into the region of the removal opening.
Mit anderen Worten umfasst die vorliegende Erfindung ein Packungsgebinde, das eine Art Pendelmechanismus aufweist, der zwischen zwei Packungsstapeln angeordnet ist und das Nachrutschen einer Packungsreihe verhindert, so dass die vorderste bzw. unterste Packung der anderen Packungsreihe leicht entnommen werden kann. Ein solches erfindungsgemäßes Packungsgebinde bzw. ein analoger Mechanismus ist sowohl für Wegwerf-Umverpackungen (aus Papier oder Karton) als auch für Dispenser bzw. Spender geeignet, die möglicherweise als nachfüllbares Verkaufsmittel aufgestellt werden.In other words, the present invention includes a package container having a kind of shuttle mechanism which is interposed between two stacks of stacks and prevents slippage of one row of packs, so that the foremost and lowermost packs of the other pack row can be easily removed. Such an inventive packing container or an analogous mechanism is suitable both for disposable outer packaging (made of paper or cardboard) and for dispensers or dispensers that may possibly be set up as a refillable sales agent.
Die Haltevorrichtung kann grundsätzlich eine mit der Hand bedien- oder betätigbare Haltevorrichtung sein, sie wird im Weiteren aber anhand von bevorzugten Ausführungsformen erläutert, die einen Automatismus aufweisen, welcher bewirkt, dass jeweils abwechselnd eine Packung von einem und danach von einem anderen Stapel entnommen wird. Einzelne Packungen sind in der Entnahmeöffnung leicht greifbar, so dass die Entnahme einfach und ohne Schwierigkeiten sowie ohne eine Zerstörung des Gebindes erfolgen kann.The holding device may in principle be a hand-operated or actuatable holding device, but will be explained below with reference to preferred embodiments which have an automatic mechanism which causes a pack to be taken alternately from one stack and then from another stack. Individual packs are easily accessible in the removal opening, so that the removal can be done easily and without difficulty and without destroying the container.
Bei einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird die Halteeinrichtung durch eine Packung eines Stapels, die im Bereich der Entnahmeöffnung liegt, in einer Stellung gehalten, in der sie verhindert, dass eine Packung des oder eines anderen Stapels in den Bereich der Entnahme- Öffnung vordringt. Eine Packung hält also die Halteeinrichtung so, dass letztere die Packung eines anderen Stapels blockiert.In one embodiment of the invention, the holding device is held in a position by a pack of a stack, which lies in the region of the removal opening, in which it prevents a pack of or another stack from penetrating into the region of the removal opening. One pack thus holds the holding device so that the latter blocks the packing of another stack.
Ferner kann die Erfindung so ausgeführt werden, dass die Halteeinrichtung so verschieblich oder verschwenkbar angeordnet ist, dass die durch eine Packung eines Stapels, die in den Bereich der Entnahmeöffnung vordringt, in eine Stellung überführt wird, in der sie verhindert, dass eine Packung des oder eines anderen Stapels in den Bereich der Entnahmeöffnung vor- dringt. Mit anderen Worten fuhrt das Gleiten einer Packung eines Stapels zur Entnahmeposition dazu, dass die Halteeinrichtung automatisch in eine Position übergeht, in der sie die anstehende Packung des anderen Stapels blockiert. Dies kann natürlich wechselweise bzw. abwechselnd geschehen, so dass immer abwechselnd eine Packung aus einem Stapel entnommen und der andere Stapel blockiert wird. Die Halteeinrichtung bzw. die Haltefunktion "pendelt" so zwischen den Stapeln.Furthermore, the invention can be embodied such that the holding device is arranged so as to be displaceable or pivotable so that it is transferred by a packing of a stack which penetrates into the region of the removal opening into a position in which it prevents a pack of or another stack into the area of the removal opening. penetrates. In other words, sliding one pack of a stack to the picking position causes the holding means to automatically move to a position blocking the pending pack of the other stack. This can of course be done alternately or alternately, so that always taken alternately a pack from a stack and the other stack is blocked. The holding device or the holding function "oscillates" between the stacks.
Es besteht die Möglichkeit, das erfindungsgemäße Packungsgebinde so auszugestalten, dass die Halteeinrichtung am Entnahmeende des Gebindes um einen Punkt zwischen zwei Stapeln um eine Schwenkachse schwenkbar ist. Die Schwenkachse liegt insbesondere im wesentlichen um eine Packungshöhe höher als die untere Fläche der Packung in der Entnahmeöffnung.It is possible to design the package according to the invention such that the holding device is pivotable about a pivot axis about a point between two stacks at the removal end of the container. The pivot axis is in particular substantially higher by a packing height than the lower surface of the package in the removal opening.
Die Halteeinrichtung kann zwei in einem Winkel, insbesondere rechtwinklig, zueinander stehende Anschlagseiten aufweisen, an denen die Packung, die im Bereich der Entnahmeöffnung liegt, und die Packung, die am Vordringen in den Bereich der Entnahmeöffnung gehindert wird, anschlagen. An einer Anschlagseite liegt also die Packung an, die im Bereich der Entnahmeöffnung liegt, an der anderen die Packung, die am Vordringen in den Bereich der Entnahmeöffnung gehindert wird.The holding device can have two abutment sides, which are at an angle, in particular at right angles, to one another, against which the package, which lies in the region of the removal opening, and the package, which is prevented from penetrating into the region of the removal opening, strike. On one stop side, therefore, lies the package which lies in the region of the removal opening, and on the other the package which is prevented from penetrating into the region of the removal opening.
Die Halteeinrichtung kann die Form eines Körpers mit der Querschnittsform eines rechtwinkligen und/oder gleichschenkligen Dreiecks aufweisen, wobei die Anschlagseiten an der Schwenkachse der Halteeinrichtung zusammentreffen.The holding device may have the shape of a body having the cross-sectional shape of a right-angled and / or isosceles triangle, the stop sides meeting at the pivot axis of the holding device.
Bei einer Ausführungsvariante des erfindungsgemäßen Packungsgebindes ist zwischen zwei nebeneinander liegenden Stapeln, auf deren Packungen das Halteelement wirkt, eine Füh- rungs- bzw. Trennwand angeordnet. Die Trennwand kann verhindern, dass die Packungen sich bei einer Bewegung auf die Entnahmeöffnung zu gegenseitig verhaken. Sie muss nicht als durchgehende Wand ausgestaltet sein; es genügt, wenn sie die Lauf- bzw. Gleitwege der Packungen so voneinander trennt, dass diese behinderungsfrei transportiert werden können.In one embodiment variant of the package according to the invention, a guide wall or dividing wall is arranged between two adjacent stacks on whose packs the holding element acts. The partition can prevent the packs from getting caught in one another on movement to the removal opening. It does not have to be designed as a continuous wall; it is sufficient if they separate the running or sliding paths of the packages so that they can be transported without hindrance.
In spezieller Ausgestaltung ist bei einer solchen Variante die Halteeinrichtung an der entnah- meseitigen Kante der Trennwand angeordnet bzw. verbunden, insbesondere mit ihrer Schwenkachse. Außerdem ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Halteeinrichtung sich nicht über die gesamte Packungslänge erstreckt, insbesondere im Bereich der Entnahmeseite der Entnahmeöffnung ausgespart ist.In a special embodiment, in such a variant, the holding device is arranged or connected to the removal-side edge of the dividing wall, in particular with its pivot axis. Moreover, it is advantageous if the holding device does not have the extends entire pack length, is recessed in particular in the region of the removal side of the removal opening.
Es besteht die Möglichkeit, das Gebinde aus einem faltbaren Papier- oder Kartonmaterialzuschnitt aufzubauen, wobei insbesondere die Entnahmeöffnung durch einen austrennbaren Materialabschnitt gebildet wird. Andererseits ist es möglich, das Gebinde aus einem starren zur Gebindeform ausgeformten Material aufzubauen, speziell einem Kunststoffmaterial, einem Glasmaterial oder einem Metallmaterial. In einem solchen Fall dient das erfindungsgemäße Packungsgebinde dann als Dispenser oder Spender, beispielsweise als Aufsteller für Verkaufszwecke.It is possible to construct the container from a foldable paper or cardboard material blank, wherein in particular the removal opening is formed by a separable material portion. On the other hand, it is possible to construct the container from a rigid material shaped to form the container, especially a plastic material, a glass material or a metal material. In such a case, the packaging container according to the invention then serves as a dispenser or dispenser, for example as a display for sales purposes.
Die Halteeinrichtung kann einen integralen Bestandteil des Gebindes bzw. des Zuschnitts bilden, insbesondere eine Faltlasche des Zuschnitts. Gleiches gilt für die Trennwand; auch sie kann als integraler Bestandteil des Gebindes bzw. des Zuschnitts bereitgestellt werden, und wenn ein Papier- oder Kartonmaterial verwendet wird, als Faltlasche des Zuschnitts.The holding device can form an integral part of the container or of the blank, in particular a folding tab of the blank. The same applies to the partition; also it may be provided as an integral part of the package, and if a paper or board material is used, as a folding flap of the blank.
Eine weitere Ausgestaltungsvariante besteht darin, dass die Schwenkachse der Halteeinrichtung durch ein Filmscharnier bzw. eine Faltkante des Zuschnitts gebildet wird. Wichtig ist, dass die Halteeinrichtung frei schwenken kann; wie die Schwenkachse ausgebildet wird, hängt dann von dem Material ab. Bei Kunststoffmaterialien dürfte sich ein Filmscharnier anbieten, während bei Papier- oder Kartonmaterialien eine Faltkante gewählt werden kann.A further embodiment variant is that the pivot axis of the holding device is formed by a film hinge or a folded edge of the blank. It is important that the holding device can pivot freely; how the pivot axis is formed, then depends on the material. For plastic materials, a film hinge is likely to offer, while in paper or cardboard materials a folding edge can be selected.
Die Erfindung wird im Weiteren anhand einer Ausführungsform und unter Bezugnahme auf die beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Sie kann alle hierin beschriebenen Merkmale einzeln sowie in jeder sinnvollen Kombination umfassen. In den Zeichnungen zeigen:The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It may include all of the features described herein individually and in any meaningful combination. In the drawings show:

Figur 2 die in Figur 1 gezeigte Anordnung nach der Entnahme einer Packung und demFigure 2 shows the arrangement shown in Figure 1 after removal of a pack and the
Umstellen der Halteeinrichtung; undSwitching the holding device; and
Figur 3 einen Zuschnitt für die Karton- bzw. Papierversion der Gebindeumhüllung. Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen den grundlegenden Mechanismus der vorliegenden Erfindung. Die Figur 1 stellt dabei einen Ausgangszustand dar; die Figur 2 den Zustand nach der Entnahme einer Packung.3 shows a blank for the cardboard or paper version of the container wrapping. Figures 1 and 2 show the basic mechanism of the present invention. FIG. 1 represents an initial state; Figure 2 shows the state after removal of a pack.
Die Umhüllung des Gebindes ist in den Figuren 1 und 2 nicht dargestellt; für den grundlegenden Mechanismus ist sie nur insofern wichtig, als die Teile des Mechanismus auch Teile der Gebindeumhüllung sein können. Entsprechende Ausgestaltungen werden später detaillierter beschrieben.The envelope of the container is not shown in Figures 1 and 2; for the basic mechanism, it is important only insofar as the parts of the mechanism can also be parts of the container cladding. Corresponding embodiments will be described later in more detail.
Für die Beschreibung des erfindungsgemäßen Packungs-Ausgabemechanismus stelle man sich vor, dass man in den Figuren 1 und 2 von vorne auf ein aufrecht stehendes System blickt, das einen linken Packungsstapel 1 sowie einen rechten Packungsstapel 3 von je fünf Packungen aufweist, von denen eine beispielhaft mit dem Bezugszeichen 5 versehen ist. Die Packungen können beispielsweise Zigarettenpackungen sein, die mit einer kleinen Stirnfläche zum Betrachter gerichtet sind. Die unterste Packung des rechten Stapels 3 befindet sich in der Entnahmeposition, also bei einem Gebinde in der Position, wo sich die Entnahmeöffnung befindet. Die hier nicht dargestellte Entnahmeöffhung erstreckt sich etwa über die Höhe der Zigarettenpackung 7 und in der Breite über die Gesamtbreite der beiden Stapel 1 und 3. Die beiden Stapel sind durch ein mittiges Führungselement getrennt, hier die Trennwand 9, die verhindert, dass die Packungen sich seitlich verschieben und gegenseitig verhaken. Die Packungen können also nach unten "durchrutschen".For the description of the package dispensing mechanism according to the invention, it will be seen from Figs. 1 and 2 that from the front an upright system has a left pack stack 1 and a right pack stack 3 of five packs, one of which is by way of example is provided with the reference numeral 5. The packs may be cigarette packs, for example, which are directed with a small face to the viewer. The lowermost packing of the right-hand stack 3 is in the removal position, ie in the case of a container in the position where the removal opening is located. The Entnahmöffhung not shown here extends approximately over the height of the cigarette pack 7 and in width over the entire width of the two stacks 1 and 3. The two stacks are separated by a central guide element, here the partition 9, which prevents the packs themselves Move laterally and hook each other. The packs can therefore "slip down".
An der Unterseite, sozusagen zwischen den Stapeln 1 und 3 befindet sich ein hier dreieckig gestaltetes Halteelement 11. Das Element 11 erstreckt sich nicht über die gesamte, in die Zeichenebene hineinragende Länge der Packungen, sondern lässt zumindest an der Vorderseite (sichtbare Stirnseite in den Figuren 1 und 2) etwas ausgesparten Platz übrig, damit die Packungen in der Entnahmeposition auch von der Mitte her gut gegriffen werden können. Außerdem kann dadurch erreicht werden, dass das Element 11 bereits umschwenken kann, bevor die Packung völlig entnommen ist, um so den darüber liegenden Stapel zu arretieren.The element 11 does not extend over the entire, projecting into the plane of the length of the packs, but can at least on the front (visible end face in the figures 1 and 2) left a little space so that the packs in the removal position also from the middle can be well grasped. In addition, it can be achieved that the element 11 can already swing before the pack is completely removed so as to lock the overlying stack.
Das Halteelement 11 ist um seine Kontaktlinie mit der Trennwand 9 herum schwenkbar (in der Blattebene), und die entsprechende Schwenkachse ist mit dem Bezugszeichen 13 angedeutet. Sie befindet sich in der dargestellten Stellung der Packungen um etwa eine Packungshöhe über der unteren Fläche der Packung 7, die in der Entnahmeposition liegt. Würde die Schwenkachse höher als eine Packungshöhe liegen, läge die Unterkante der zweiten Packung des nicht blockierten Stapels tiefer und würde damit ein Umklappen des Elements 11 nach dem Herausziehen der Packung in der Entnahmeposition blockieren.The holding member 11 is pivotable about its line of contact with the partition 9 around (in the sheet plane), and the corresponding pivot axis is indicated by the reference numeral 13. It is in the illustrated position of the packs by about one pack height above the lower surface of the pack 7, which is in the removal position. Would the Pivot axis are higher than a package height, the lower edge of the second pack of unblocked stack would be deeper and would thus block a folding of the element 11 after pulling out of the pack in the removal position.
Das dreieckige Halteelement 11 hat in der dargestellten Ausführungsform eine gleichschenklige, rechtwinklige Form, wobei der rechte Winkel an der Schwenkachse 13 liegt. Eine Fläche 51, die am rechten Winkel beginnt, liegt senkrecht an der Innenseite der Packung 7 an; die andere Fläche 55 stützt horizontal die Packung 8. Es ist auch denkbar, dem Halteelement 11 eine andere Form zu geben, zum Beispiel als Pendel mit einem Zylinder oder einer Kugel am unteren Ende der Trennwand 9.The triangular holding member 11 has an isosceles, rectangular shape in the illustrated embodiment, wherein the right angle is located on the pivot axis 13. A surface 51, which begins at a right angle, is perpendicular to the inside of the pack 7; the other surface 55 horizontally supports the packing 8. It is also conceivable to give the holding element 11 a different shape, for example as a pendulum with a cylinder or a ball at the lower end of the partition 9.
In der Figur 1 ist das Halteelement 11 nach links geschwenkt und hält so den linken Stapel 1 in einer oberen Position, im Wesentlichen um eine Packung höher als die Entnahmeposition. Die Packung 8 kann also nicht entnommen werden, und der Raum unter der Packung 8 ist frei für den Eingriff durch einen Verwender. Durch die Packung 7 in der Entnahmeposition im rechten Stapel 3, welche das Halteelement 11 in der Stellung der Figur 1 fixiert, wird verhindert, dass das Halteelement 11 nach rechts schwenken kann.In FIG. 1, the holding element 11 is pivoted to the left and thus holds the left stack 1 in an upper position, essentially one pack higher than the removal position. Thus, the package 8 can not be removed, and the space under the package 8 is free for intervention by a user. By the package 7 in the removal position in the right stack 3, which fixes the holding member 11 in the position of Figure 1, it is prevented that the holding member 11 can pivot to the right.
Wird nun die Packung 7 entnommen, schwenkt das Halteelement 11 durch den mechanischen Druck des Stapels 1 (Gewichtsdruck) nach rechts, und der Stapel 1 kann nach unten fallen. Dadurch gerät nun die Packung 8 des linken Stapels 1 in die Entnahmeposition, und der rechte Stapel 3 wird in der höheren Position gehalten. Dieser Zustand ist in Figur 2 gezeigt. Im Folgenden kann dann wiederum die Packung 8 entnommen werden, der Stapel 3 drückt das Halteelement 11 nach links, und die Packung 10 kommt in die Entnahmeposition. Dies kann fortgeführt werden, bis die beiden Stapel entnommen sind.Now, if the pack 7 removed, the holding member 11 pivots by the mechanical pressure of the stack 1 (weight pressure) to the right, and the stack 1 can fall down. As a result, the package 8 of the left stack 1 now moves into the removal position, and the right stack 3 is held in the higher position. This condition is shown in FIG. The package 8 can then be removed again in the following, the stack 3 presses the holding element 11 to the left, and the pack 10 comes into the removal position. This can be continued until the two stacks are removed.
Realisieren lässt sich das erfindungsgemäße Prinzip bei einer Ausführungsform durch einen Zuschnitt für einen Gebindekarton, wie er in der Figur 3 dargestellt ist. Dünne Linien repräsentieren hierbei Faltlinien, dicke Linien sind Außenkanten/Schnitte, gestrichelte Linien Perforationen.The inventive principle can be realized in one embodiment by a blank for a container carton, as shown in Figure 3. Thin lines represent fold lines, thick lines are outer edges / cuts, dashed lines represent perforations.
Der Gebindekarton besteht aus folgenden Hauptflächen: einer Vorderwand 15 und zwei Seitenwänden 17 und 19, an die sich Teile der Rückwand 21 und 23 anschließen. Bei Faltung dieser Flächen zu einem Kubus überlappen die Teile der Rückwand 21 und 23 so, dass sie verklebt werden können, insbesondere durch den Überlapp der Flächen 23 über 21. Am Rückwandteil 21 befindet sich die Trennwandlasche 25 an der sich noch ein Befestigungsstreifen 27 befindet, der mit der Vorderwand 15 verklebt wird. Nach Faltung dieser Teile ergibt sich somit ein Querschnitt mit zwei Hohlräumen, die die quaderförmigen Packungen aufnehmen können.The cardboard box consists of the following main surfaces: a front wall 15 and two side walls 17 and 19, to which parts of the rear wall 21 and 23 connect. When folding these surfaces into a cube, the parts of the rear wall 21 and 23 overlap so that they can be glued, in particular by the overlap of the surfaces 23 via 21. At the rear wall portion 21 is the partition wall plate 25 at which there is still a fastening strip 27 which is glued to the front wall 15. After folding these parts thus results in a cross-section with two cavities that can accommodate the cuboidal packs.
Auf der Oberseite des Zuschnitts sind das obere Deckelement 29 mit der Steckzunge 35 sowie den beiden oberen Seitenlaschen 31 und 33 zu erkennen. Im gefalteten Zustand ist das Gebinde dadurch nach oben abgeschlossen.On the upper side of the blank, the upper cover element 29 with the tongue 35 and the two upper side flaps 31 and 33 can be seen. When folded, the container is thus closed at the top.
Auf der Unterseite befinden sich das Bodenelement 37 mit den Seitenlaschen 39 und 41 sowie den Steckzungen 43 und 45. Bei Faltung der Seitenlaschen 39 über die eingezeichneten Faltlinien ergibt sich ein mechanisch stabiler Boden der auf der Innenseite des Gebindes glatt ist, so dass die Packungen eben aufliegen und leicht herausgezogen werden können. Die unteren Seitenlaschen 39 und 41 befinden sich nach der Faltung entsprechend auf der Außenseite des Gebindes. Um Packungen aus der gefalteten Gebindepackung zu entnehmen, wird die Perforation um die Öffnungslasche 47 aufgetrennt und die Klappe aufgefaltet. Der Greifbarkeit von der Seite (von Außen) her dienen die halbkreisförmigen Ausstanzungen 47a, b. So werden die Packungen im Gebinde greifbar. Die kreisförmigen Ausstanzungen sind zur leichteren Faltung des Gebindebodens vorgesehen.On the bottom are the bottom member 37 with the side flaps 39 and 41 and the tabs 43 and 45. When folding the side flaps 39 on the plotted fold lines results in a mechanically stable bottom is smooth on the inside of the container, so that the packs flat rest and be easily pulled out. The lower side flaps 39 and 41 are located after the folding according to the outside of the container. To remove packages from the folded bundle pack, the perforation is separated around the opening tab 47 and the flap unfolded. The gripping from the side (from the outside) serve the semicircular punched 47a, b. This makes the packs in the container tangible. The circular cutouts are provided for easier folding of the bottom of the container.
An der Trennwandlasche 25 (wird zur Trennwand 9 in Fig. 1, 2) ist die Lasche 49 angebracht, aus der durch Faltung ein dreieckiges Element (wie in Figur 1) gebildet werden kann. Die einzelnen Elemente unterhalb der Trennwandlasche 25 ergeben (von oben nach unten) einen Schenkel des gleichschenkligen Dreiecks 51, die Unterseite des gleichschenkligen Dreiecks 53, den anderen Schenkel des gleichschenkligen Dreiecks 55 und die Stecklasche 57. Diese Stecklasche 57 wird durch die beiden Ausstanzungen 59 und 61 der Lasche 49 geschoben, und so wird ein mechanisch stabiles Element gebildet, das die Funktion des Halteelements 11 aus den Figuren 1 und 2 übernehmen kann.On the partition wall tab 25 (becomes the partition wall 9 in Fig. 1, 2), the tab 49 is attached, from which by folding a triangular element (as in Figure 1) can be formed. The individual elements below the partition plate 25 result (from top to bottom) a leg of the isosceles triangle 51, the underside of the isosceles triangle 53, the other leg of the isosceles triangle 55 and the tab 57. This tab 57 is formed by the two punched-59 and 61 of the tab 49 pushed, and so a mechanically stable element is formed, which can take over the function of the holding member 11 of Figures 1 and 2.
Die Lasche 49 kann bei der Herstellung der Gebindepackung und Füllung mit Packungen fertig gefaltet werden. Dadurch hat der Konsument keine weitere Verrichtung auszuführen, um den Mechanismus funktionsfertig vorzufinden. Es ist aber auch denkbar, das Falten dieses Teils dem Konsumenten zu überlassen. Vorteilhaft wäre dies im Hinblick auf die Füllung des Gebindes, da die ungefaltete Lasche keinen zusätzlichen Platz benötigt und somit das gesamte Gebinde mit Packungen gefüllt werden kann. The tab 49 can be folded in the preparation of the bundle pack and filling with packs. As a result, the consumer does not have to perform any further action to find the mechanism ready for operation. However, it is also conceivable to leave the folding of this part to the consumer. This would be advantageous in terms of filling the Bundle, as the unfolded tab requires no additional space and thus the entire container can be filled with packages.
