A hinge section (11) is hinged on one of the side flaps. The box is produced from a single blank of material, and consists of cardboard or laminated cardboard.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schachtel, insbesondere eine Faltschachtel gemäss Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1. Derartige Schachteln mit einem vorzugsweise quaderförmigen Schachtelkörper sind als wieder verschliessbare Umpackungen beispielsweise für Medikamente, Kosmetika oder beliebige andere Inhalte seit langem bekannt und gebräuchlich. Die in die Öffnung einschlagbaren Seitenlaschen dienen dabei einerseits der Stabilität der Schachtel und anderseits aber auch dem Schutz gegen das Eindringen von Verunreinigungen in die Schachtel.The invention relates to a box, in particular a folding box according to the preamble of claim 1. Such boxes with a preferably cuboid box body are known as reclosable Umpackungen for example for drugs, cosmetics or any other content for a long time and in use. The side tabs which can be knocked into the opening serve on the one hand to ensure the stability of the box and, on the other hand, also to protect against the ingress of contaminants into the box.

Ein Problem bei derartigen konventionellen Schachteln ist die Garantiefunktion, also das Anzeigen eines erstmaligen Öffnens des Deckels. Zwar sind bereits zahlreiche Garantiesysteme bekannt, bei denen beispielsweise zum erstmaligen Öffnen des Deckels eine Sollbruchstelle durchbrochen oder ein Garantiestreifen abgerissen werden muss. Eine einfache Variante einer Garantiefunktion besteht beispielsweise darin, dass ein Siegel über den verschlossenen Deckel geklebt wird, das zum Öffnen des Deckels aufgebrochen werden muss. In all diesen Fällen sind jedoch zusätzliche Klebeoperationen erforderlich, welche die Herstellung der Schachtel komplizieren und verteuern. Ausserdem sind die Garantiesysteme in vielen Fällen für den Verbraucher nicht leicht zu handhaben. Es ist daher eine Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Schachtel der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei der das erstmalige Öffnen auf einfache Weise angezeigt wird, ohne dass der Deckel verklebt oder versiegelt werden muss. Das Aufrichten und Füllen der Schachtel soll dabei so einfach wie möglich erfolgen können. Ausserdem sollen für die Herstellung der Schachtel keine zusätzlichen Komponenten erforderlich sein und der Verbraucher soll die Schachtel auf gewohnte Weise öffnen können. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss mit einer Schachtel gelöst, welche die Merkmale im Anspruch 1 aufweist.A problem with such conventional boxes is the warranty function, that is, displaying a first opening of the lid. Although many warranty systems are already known in which, for example, for breaking the cover for the first time a predetermined breaking point broken or a guarantee strip must be demolished. A simple variant of a warranty function, for example, is that a seal is glued over the closed lid, which must be broken to open the lid. In all these cases, however, additional gluing operations are required which complicate and increase the cost of making the box. In addition, the warranty systems are often not easy for the consumer to handle. It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a box of the type mentioned, in which the initial opening is displayed in a simple manner, without the lid must be glued or sealed. The erection and filling of the box should be as simple as possible. In addition, no additional components are required for the production of the box and the consumer should open the box in the usual way can. This object is achieved according to the invention with a box, which has the features in claim 1.

Die schwenkbar am Deckel angelenkte Garantiezunge wird dabei aus der Ebene des Deckels durch die Rückhalteöffnung in der Seitenlasche hindurch in eine Rückhalteposition eingedrückt. Dies ist nach dem Füllen und Verschliessen der Schachtel auf einfache Weise maschinell möglich. Durch die Konfiguration der Aussenkontur der Garantiezunge einerseits und der Rückhalteöffnung andererseits wird erreicht, dass ein Abheben oder Aufschwenken des Deckels nicht ohne Reissen der Sollbruchstelle möglich ist, wenn sich die Garantiezunge in der Rückhalteposition befindet. Dieses Verankerungsprinzip nutzt den Umstand aus, dass ein Verankerungselement - wie hier die Garantiezunge - nur in einer bestimmten Relativlage durch eine Öffnung hindurchgeführt werden kann. Bekannt ist dieses Prinzip beispielsweise auch bei Gürtelschliessen. Zum erstmaligen Öffnen des Deckels ist nur ein geringfügig grösserer Kraftaufwand erforderlich, um den Widerstand der Sollbruchstelle zu überwinden. Anschliessend kann die Schachtel beliebig oft wieder verschlossen und geöffnet werden.The pivotally hinged on the cover guarantee tongue is thereby pressed from the plane of the lid through the retaining opening in the side flap into a retaining position. This is easily possible by machine after filling and closing the box. By configuring the outer contour of the guarantee tongue on the one hand and the retaining opening on the other hand ensures that a lifting or pivoting the lid is not possible without tearing the predetermined breaking point when the guarantee tongue is in the retention position. This anchoring principle exploits the fact that an anchoring element - as here the guarantee tongue - can only be passed through an opening in a certain relative position. This principle is also known, for example, in Gürtelschliessen. To open the lid for the first time only a slightly greater force is required to overcome the resistance of the predetermined breaking point. Subsequently, the box can be closed and opened as often as desired.

Die Garantiezunge ist vorteilhaft direkt aus dem Materials des Deckels ausgeschnitten. Dabei entstehen keine zusätzlichen Materialkosten und Schneideoperationen am Zuschnitt sind in der Regel ohnehin erforderlich. In bestimmten Fällen wäre es aber auch denkbar, eine separate Garantiezunge am Deckel zu befestigen. Die Garantiezunge ist vorteilhaft über eine insbesondere perforierte Sollbruchlinie am Deckel angelenkt. Die Sollbruchlinie bildet dabei gleichzeitig den Gelenkfalz. Die Sollbruchstelle könnte aber in bestimmten Fällen auch an einer anderen Stelle angeordnet sein.The guarantee tongue is advantageously cut directly from the material of the lid. There are no additional material costs and cutting operations on the blank are usually required anyway. In certain cases, it would also be conceivable to attach a separate guarantee tongue on the lid. The guarantee tongue is advantageously articulated on a particular perforated predetermined breaking line on the lid. The predetermined breaking line simultaneously forms the joint fold. The predetermined breaking point could, however, in certain cases also be arranged at a different location.

Die Garantiezunge ist vorteilhaft derart an einer Seite des Deckels angeordnet, dass eine Seitenkante der Garantiezunge mit einer Seitenkante des Deckels zusammenfällt. Auf diese Weise wird die Fläche des Deckels nach dem Abreissen der Garantiezunge nur am Rande etwas reduziert. Ersichtlicherweise ist es aber auch vorteilhaft, wenn die darunter liegende Rückhalteöffnung in einer Randzone der Schachtel liegt, weil dies insgesamt auf Grund der Schachtelsteifigkeit die Deformation der Garantiezunge in die Rückhalteposition erleichtert. Je nach Konfiguration der Schachtel könnte die Garantiezunge aber auch an einer anderen Stelle des Deckels angeordnet sein.The guarantee tongue is advantageously arranged on one side of the lid such that a side edge of the guarantee tongue coincides with a side edge of the lid. In this way, the surface of the lid after tearing off the guarantee tongue is only marginally reduced. It can be seen, however, that it is also advantageous for the underlying retention opening to lie in an edge zone of the box, because overall this facilitates the deformation of the guarantee tongue into the retention position on account of the box rigidity. Depending on the configuration of the box, however, the guarantee tongue could also be arranged at another point on the lid.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist auf zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Deckels je eine Garantiezunge angeordnet. Damit ist sichergestellt, dass der Deckel ohne Reissen der Sollbruchstelle nicht nur auf einer Seite angehoben werden kann. Ausserdem ist eine gewisse Symmetrie bei der Verankerung des Deckels gewährleitstet. Bei kleineren Deckeln, beispielsweise an der Stirnseite einer quaderförmigen Schachtel, könnte aber auch nur eine einzige Garantiezunge ausreichen.Particularly advantageously, a guarantee tongue is arranged on two opposite sides of the lid. This ensures that the lid can not be lifted on one side without tearing the predetermined breaking point. In addition, a certain symmetry in the anchoring of the lid is gewährleitstet. For smaller lids, for example, on the front side of a cuboid box, but only a single guarantee tongue could be sufficient.

Als besonders vorteilhaft hat sich eine trapezförmig ausgebildete Garantiezunge erwiesen. Diese ist an der kürzeren Parallelseite des Trapezes am Deckel angelenkt. Über die längere Parallelseite des Trapezes lässt sich dabei eine gute Verankerungswirkung erzielen. Selbstverständlich kann die Garantiezunge im Rahmen der erfindungsgemässen Lösung aber auch andere Konturen aufweisen.A trapezoidal guarantee tongue has proven to be particularly advantageous. This is hinged to the shorter parallel side of the trapezoid on the lid. The longer parallel side of the trapezoid can be used to achieve a good anchoring effect. Of course, the guarantee tongue in the context of the inventive solution but also have other contours.

Die Aussenkontur der Garantiezunge kann identisch sein mit der Aussenkontur der Rückhalteöffnung, wobei dies aber nicht zwingend erforderlich ist. So wären auch andere Paarungen von Aussenkonfigurationen denkbar, mit denen eine gute Verankerungswirkung in der Rückhalteposition erzielt werden kann.The outer contour of the guarantee tongue can be identical to the outer contour of the retention opening, but this is not absolutely necessary. So would be other pairings of outdoor configurations conceivable, with which a good anchoring effect can be achieved in the retention position.

Weitere Vorteile lassen sich erzielen, wenn die Rückhalteöffnung derart aus der Seitenlasche ausgeschnitten ist, dass ein an der Seitenlasche angelenkter Gelenkabschnitt in der Rückhalteöffnung verbleibt, der zusammen mit der Garantiezunge eindrückbar ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass beim Ausschneiden bzw. Ausstanzen der Rückhalteöffnung keine Materialabfälle zurückbleiben. Ausserdem schützt der unter der Garantiezunge liegende Gelenkabschnitt die Sollbruchstelle, so dass diese bei einer Manipulation an der Schachtel nicht vorzeitig reisst. Schliesslich kann der nach dem Abreissen der Garantiezunge sichtbare Gelenkabschnitt auch eine Garantiefunktion erfüllen, indem er das erstmalige Öffnen der Packung besser sichtbar macht. Dieser Effekt könnte noch durch eine entsprechende Signalfarbe verstärkt werden. Selbstverständlich schützt der Gelenkabschnitt nach dem erstmaligen Öffnen vor dem Eindringen von Verunreinigungen in die Verpackung.Further advantages can be achieved if the retaining opening is cut out of the side flap in such a way that a hinge section hinged to the side flap remains in the retaining opening, which can be pressed in together with the guarantee tongue. This has the advantage that no material waste remains when cutting or punching out the retaining opening. In addition, the hinge section under the guarantee tongue protects the predetermined breaking point, so that it does not break prematurely when manipulated on the box. Finally, the visible after the tearing of the guarantee tongue joint portion can also fulfill a warranty function by making the first-time opening of the package better visible. This effect could be enhanced by a corresponding signal color. Of course, the hinge section protects after the first opening from the ingress of contaminants in the packaging.

In den meisten Fällen ist es vorteilhaft, wenn auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Schachtelöffnung je eine Seitenlasche angeordnet ist und wenn der Deckel zwei Garantiezungen aufweist, von denen jede mit einer Rückhalteöffnung in jeder Seitenlasche zusammenwirkt. Die Seitenlaschen sind dabei vorteilhaft so dimensioniert, dass sie sich im eingeklappten Zustand teilweise überlappen. Selbstverständlich kann die Schachtel auch zwei Öffnungen aufweisen, von denen jede auf die gleiche Weise mit einem Deckel verschlossen ist. Dem Verbraucher steht es dabei frei, auf welcher Seite er die Schachtel öffnet.In most cases, it is advantageous if a side flap is arranged on opposite sides of the box opening and if the lid has two guarantee tongues, each of which cooperates with a retaining opening in each side flap. The side flaps are advantageously dimensioned so that they partially overlap in the folded state. Of course, the box may also have two openings, each of which is closed in the same way with a lid. The consumer is free to decide on which side he opens the box.

Der Deckel kann an einer Seitenwand angelenkt sein und eine Einsteckzunge aufweisen. Diese sorgt dafür, dass der Deckel auch nach dem erstmaligen Öffnen in einer Schliessposition verbleibt. Das erfindungsgemässe Garantiesystem wäre aber grundsätzlich auch bei anderen Arten von Deckeln denkbar, wie z.B. an einem Stülpdeckel.The lid may be hinged to a side wall and having a Einsteckzunge. This ensures that the lid remains in a closed position even after the first opening. The guarantee system according to the invention would, however, also be conceivable in principle for other types of lids, such as on a slip-on lid.

Bei der Schachtel kann es sich um eine durch Falz- und Klebeoperationen hergestellte Faltschachtel aus einem einzigen Materialzuschnitt handeln. Auch kompliziertere Schachteln aus mehreren Zuschnitten wären aber denkbar. Die Schachtel kann aus Karton oder aus einem Kartonlaminat bestehen. Auch Kunststoffmaterial oder Metall wäre aber denkbar. Wichtig ist dabei lediglich, dass die Garantiezunge derart eindrückbar ist, dass sie in der Rückhalteposition verbleibt.The carton may be a folding carton made from a single blank of material made by folding and gluing operations. Even more complicated boxes of several blanks would be conceivable. The box may consist of cardboard or a cardboard laminate. Also plastic material or metal would be conceivable. It is only important that the guarantee tongue is so depressible that it remains in the retention position.

In bestimmten Fällen wäre es auch denkbar, dass die Garantiezunge durch einen der Seitenlasche und/oder einer Seitenwand zugeordneten Sperrlappen in der Rückhalteposition arretierbar ist. Mit einem derartigen Sperrlappen kann verhindert werden, dass sich die Garantiezunge auf Grund Material bedingter Rückstelleigenschaften wieder in die Ebene des Deckels zurückstellt, womit die Garantiefunktion aufgehoben wäre. Der Sperrlappen könnte wie der vorstehend beschriebene Gelenkabschnitt ebenfalls aus der Seitenlasche ausgeschnitten sein. Er muss jedoch derart an einer Seitenwand der Schachtel oder auch an einer Seitenwand der Rückhalteöffnung angelenkt sein, dass er beim Eindrücken der Garantiezunge über die Rückhalteposition hinaus zunächst wegschwenkt und danach die Garantiezunge überlappt.In certain cases it would also be conceivable for the guarantee tongue to be lockable in the retention position by a locking tab associated with the side flap and / or a side wall. With such a locking tab can be prevented that the guarantee tongue due to material conditional return properties returns to the level of the lid, whereby the warranty function would be repealed. The locking tab could also be cut out of the side flap like the hinge section described above. However, it must be hinged to a side wall of the box or on a side wall of the retaining opening such that it initially pivots when pressing the guarantee tongue beyond the retention position and then overlaps the guarantee tongue.

a further embodiment of the invention in perspective and sectional representation.

Wie in Figur 1 dargestellt, weist der generell mit 14 bezeichnete Zuschnitt verschiedene Einzelabschnitte auf, welche die Seitenwände, die Seitenlaschen und die Deckel der Schachtel bilden. Die einzelnen Abschnitte sind über Rillungen 16 voneinander abgegrenzt. Diese bilden später die Falzlinien beim Aufrichten der Schachtel. Im vorliegenden Fall besteht die Schachtel aus den vier Seitenwänden 4a, 4b, 4c und 4d, wobei an der Seitenwand 4a eine Klebelasche 13 angeordnet ist. Die Schachtel ist mit zwei Deckeln 2a und 2b versehen, welche aber derart an den Seitenwänden 4c und 4a angeordnet sind, dass sie an der aufgerichteten Schachtel an diametral gegenüberliegenden Seiten angelenkt sind. Jeder Deckel ist mit einer Einsteckzunge 12a und 12b versehen. An den Seitenwänden 4b und 4d sind jeweils die Seitenlaschen 5a, 5a' und 5b, 5b' angeordnet.As in FIG. 1 14, the blank, generally designated 14, has various discrete portions which form the side walls, the side flaps and the lids of the carton. The individual sections are delimited by grooves 16 from each other. These later form the fold lines when erecting the box. In the present case, the box consists of the four side walls 4a, 4b, 4c and 4d, wherein on the side wall 4a, an adhesive flap 13 is arranged. The box is provided with two lids 2a and 2b, but which are arranged on the side walls 4c and 4a, that they are hinged to the erected box on diametrically opposite sides. Each lid is provided with an insertion tongue 12a and 12b. On the side walls 4b and 4d, respectively, the side flaps 5a, 5a 'and 5b, 5b' are arranged.

Die Garantiezungen 6 an den beiden Deckeln sind trapezförmig ausgebildet, wobei die Schrägseiten des Trapezes durch die Schnittlinien 15 abgegrenzt sind. Schnittlinien erstrecken sich teilweise noch auf beiden Seiten der Einsteckdeckel 12a und 12b. Die kürzere Parallelseite jedes Trapezes wird durch eine Perforationslinie 17 gebildet.The guarantee tongues 6 on the two lids are trapezoidal in shape, wherein the sloping sides of the trapezoid are delimited by the cutting lines 15. Cut lines still partially extend on both sides of the insertion lids 12a and 12b. The shorter parallel side of each trapezoid is formed by a perforation line 17.

Durch Schnittlinien 15 sind an den Seitenlaschen Gelenkabschnitte 11 ausgeschnitten, die jedoch ebenfalls über eine Rillung 16 mit der Seitenlasche verbunden bleiben. Diese Gelenkabschnitte bilden später die Rückhalteöffnung 7. Diese ist ersichtlicherweise ebenfalls trapezförmig, entsprechend den Garantiezungen 6.By section lines 15 joint portions 11 are cut out at the side flaps, which, however, also remain connected via a grooving 16 with the side flap. These joint sections later form the retaining opening 7. This is also apparent trapezoidal, according to the guarantee tongues. 6

Der Materialzuschnitt 14 gemäss Figur 1 wird auf bekannte Weise zu einer quaderförmigen Schachtel 1 aufgerichtet und verklebt, wie sie in den Figuren 2 bis 4 dargestellt ist. Die Klebelasche 13 wird dabei auf die Seitenwand 4d geklebt. Der Deckel 2b ist bereits eingesteckt und bildet dabei eigentlich den Boden der Schachtel. Der Deckel 2a ist aufgeschwenkt und auch die beiden Seitenlaschen 5a und 5a' sind ausgeklappt, so dass die Öffnung 3 der Schachtel (Figur 4) frei liegt.The material blank 14 according to FIG. 1 is erected in a known manner to a cuboid box 1 and glued, as shown in the FIGS. 2 to 4 is shown. The adhesive flap 13 is glued to the side wall 4d. The lid 2b is already inserted and actually forms the bottom of the Box. The lid 2a is pivoted open and also the two side flaps 5a and 5a 'are unfolded, so that the opening 3 of the box (FIG. FIG. 4 ) is free.

Nach dem Füllen der Schachtel beispielsweise mit einem Fläschchen und mit einem Beipackzettel werden die beiden Seitenlaschen 5a und 5a' in die Öffnung 3 eingeklappt. Die Seitenlaschen überlappen sich dabei teilweise und in vielen Fällen werden sie von unten durch den Verpackungsinhalt gestützt. Diese Zwischenlage ist in Figur 5 dargestellt. Die Garantiezungen 6 auf beiden Seiten des Deckels 2a liegen dabei immer noch in der Ebene des Deckels. Ebenso liegen die Gelenkabschnitte 11 in den Seitenlaschen noch in der Ebene der Seitenlaschen.After filling the box, for example with a vial and with a leaflet, the two side flaps 5 a and 5 a 'are folded into the opening 3. The side flaps partially overlap and in many cases are supported from below by the contents of the package. This liner is in FIG. 5 shown. The guarantee tongues 6 on both sides of the lid 2a are still in the plane of the lid. Likewise, the hinge portions 11 are still in the side flaps in the plane of the side flaps.

Zuletzt wird gemäss Figur 6 der Einsteckdeckel 2a verschlossen. Zur Aktivierung der Garantiefunktion muss eine Eindrückkraft P auf die beiden Garantiezungen 6 bzw. die jetzt darunter liegenden Gelenkabschnitte 11 ausgeübt werden, bis sich die Garantiezungen in der Rückhalteposition befinden.Last is according to FIG. 6 the plug-in cover 2a closed. To activate the guarantee function, a force P must be exerted on the two guarantee tongues 6 or the joint sections 11 below them, until the guarantee tongues are in the retention position.

Diese Situation ist in Figur 7 dargestellt. Die Garantiezunge 6 ist um die Sollreisslinie 8 in das Schachtelinnere in die Rückhalteposition RP eingedrückt. Auch der darunter liegende Gelenkabschnitt 11 macht diese Bewegung mit, wobei dieser jedoch um die Rillung 16 umgelenkt wird. Die Garantiezunge 6 ist dabei aus der Ebene des Deckels 2a ausgelenkt, so dass ihre der längeren Parallelseite des Trapezes entsprechende Seitenkante 10 nicht mehr mit der Seitenkante 9 des Deckels zusammenfällt. Durch das Ausbiegen des Gelenkabschnitts 11 wird jetzt auch die eigentliche Rückhalteöffnung 7 freigelegt.This situation is in FIG. 7 shown. The guarantee tongue 6 is pressed around the desired tear line 8 in the box interior in the retention position RP. Also, the underlying hinge portion 11 makes this movement with, but this is deflected by the groove 16. The guarantee tongue 6 is deflected out of the plane of the lid 2a, so that its side corresponding to the longer parallel side of the trapezoidal edge 10 no longer coincides with the side edge 9 of the lid. By bending out of the joint portion 11, the actual retaining opening 7 is now exposed.

Aus der Draufsicht gemäss Figur 8 wird die Rückhaltefunktion der Garantiezunge 6 sofort ersichtlich. Die Rückhaltezunge hat eine maximale Breite b, welche auch der Breite der darunter liegenden Rückhalteöffnung 7 entspricht. Die äusseren Ecken 18 der Garantiezunge 6 liegen in der Rückhalteposition RP jetzt unterhalb der darunter liegenden Seitenlasche bzw. ausserhalb der Rückhalteöffnung 7. Ein Aufschwenken des Deckels 2a in dieser Position bewirkt somit, dass sich die Garantiezunge 6 in der Rückhalteöffnung 7 verkeilt, so dass die Sollreisslinie 8 zuletzt reisst. Die Trapezform der Garantiezunge 6 begünstigt dabei noch diese Verankerungswirkung. Mit 6 max. ist in strichpunktierten Linien eine Extremposition der Garantiezunge 6 dargestellt, in welcher sie um 90° aus der Ebene des Deckels 2a ausgeschwenkt ist.From the top view according to FIG. 8 the retention function of the guarantee tongue 6 becomes immediately apparent. The retaining tongue has a maximum width b, which also corresponds to the width of the underlying retaining opening 7. The outer corners 18 of the guarantee tongue 6 are now in the retaining position RP below the underlying side flap or outside the retaining opening 7. Pivoting the lid 2a in this position thus causes the guarantee tongue 6 wedged in the retaining opening 7, so that the Tear line 8 tears last. The trapezoidal shape of the guarantee tongue 6 still favors this anchoring effect. With 6 max. an extreme position of the guarantee tongue 6 is shown in dash-dotted lines, in which it is swung out by 90 ° from the plane of the lid 2a.

In Figur 9 ist ein alternatives Ausführungsbeispiel einer Garantiezunge 6 dargestellt, die eine etwa pilzförmige Aussenkonfiguration aufweist. Auch die darunter liegende Rückhalteöffnung 7 hat die gleiche Konfiguration. Ein Eindrücken der Garantiezunge 6 in die Rückhalteposition RP bewirkt auf ähnliche Weise eine Verankerung der äusseren Ecken 18 in der Rückhalteöffnung 7. Beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Garantiezunge 6 nicht über die Sollreisslinie 8 am Deckel 2a angelenkt, sondern ähnlich wie die Gelenkabschnitte 11 über eine Rillung 16. Die Sollreisslinie ist in einem Abstand von dieser Rillung angeordnet. Diese könnte zur Unterstützung der Reisswirkung beispielsweise auch schräg zur Rillung 16 verlaufen.In FIG. 9 an alternative embodiment of a guarantee tongue 6 is shown, which has an approximately mushroom-shaped outer configuration. The underlying retaining opening 7 has the same configuration. Pressing the guarantee tongue 6 into the retaining position RP similarly anchors the outer corners 18 in the retaining opening 7. In the present embodiment, the guarantee tongue 6 is not hinged over the rupture line 8 on the cover 2a, but similar to the hinge portions 11 via a groove 16. The desired tear line is arranged at a distance from this groove. This could for example also run obliquely to the scoring 16 to support the tear effect.

In Figur 10 ist eine weitere Variante dargestellt, bei welcher jedoch im Gegensatz zum Ausführungsbeispiel gemäss Figur 7 der Gelenkabschnitt fehlt. An seine Stelle tritt ein Sperrlappen 19, der ebenfalls aus dem Material der Seitenlasche 5a' ausgeschnitten ist, der jedoch an der Seitenwand 4b angelenkt ist. Beim Eindrücken der Garantiezunge 6 wird diese über die Rückhalteposition RP hinaus so weit eingeschwenkt, bis sich der zunächst unter der Garantiezunge liegende Sperrlappen 19 über die Garantiezunge schiebt und diese beim Zurückfedern in der Rückhalteposition RP arretiert. In bestimmten Fällen wäre es natürlich auch denkbar, sowohl einen Gelenkabschnitt als auch einen Sperrlappen innerhalb der zur Verfügung stehenden Fläche der Rückhalteöffnung anzuordnen.In FIG. 10 is shown a further variant, in which, however, in contrast to the embodiment according to FIG. 7 the joint section is missing. In its place enters a locking tab 19 which is also cut out of the material of the side flap 5a ', but which is hinged to the side wall 4b. When pressing in the guarantee tongue 6, this is so far pivoted beyond the retention position RP, until the first lying under the guarantee tongue locking tabs 19 on the guarantee tongue slides and locks them during springback in the retention position RP. In certain cases, it would of course also be conceivable to arrange both a joint portion and a locking tab within the available surface of the retaining opening.
