Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container carrier made of cardboard or other foldable flat material for wrapping a group of bottles or other containers.
  • a bottle carrier of the type described above is in the EP 0 630 826 A1 described.
  • This bottle carrier has a cuff-like around a group of bottles set one-piece blank foldable flat material such as cardboard.
  • the blank has a bottom wall, side walls directed to the longitudinal sides of the bottom wall, and a composite top wall made of inner and outer cover wall sections bonded to the upper longitudinal sides of the side walls and bonded together in an overlapping area.
  • End walls are formed from the transverse sides of the bottom wall, side walls and top wall hinged, pivoted in the openings between them and glued together in overlapping areas end wall flaps.
  • the top wall has two transversely spaced engagement openings.
  • the overlapping area of the outer and inner top wall portions forms between the engagement openings a grip portion for gripping through the engagement openings.
  • the handle portion is formed by a handle reinforcing tab three layers, which is folded against the inside of the inner top wall portion.
  • the bottom wall end flaps are connected via corner connecting straps with side wall end flaps which are folded against the insides of the side walls.
  • the top wall end flaps are extending over the entire transverse sides of the top wall congruent outer cover wall portion and connected by means of connecting portions with the outsides of the bottom wall end flaps at the level of the belly of the bottles.
  • the EP 0 983 946 B1 describes a container carrier according to the preamble of claim 1 with a blank of cardboard or other foldable flat material, which has a bottom wall, side walls and a top wall, which are longitudinally abutted against each other. Between one of these walls and an adjacent wall there is a connection via an adhesive flap. Alternatively, overlapping portions of one of these walls are glued together. The end openings are completely or partially closed by end walls, which are connected to the blank. Furthermore, the container carrier has a further blank made of cardboard or another foldable flat material which is to be arranged above the group of containers.
  • This blank has a reinforcing wall arranged below the top wall and two further engaging openings in the reinforcing wall arranged at a distance from each other and arranged below the engagement openings of the top wall.
  • the reinforcing wall is formed substantially congruent to the top wall. It has longitudinal flaps hinged to the longitudinal sides and has a connection with the blank surrounding the container.
  • This container carrier has the required strength in the grip area and has a reduced tendency to deformation in the area of the side walls, end walls and the corners.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a container carrier of the type mentioned, which further improves the strength in the grip area and stability.
  • the grip portion between the two engagement openings and the further engagement openings is stabilized by at least three layers of cardboard.

  • the handle portion is particularly advantageous reinforced.
  • the transverse flaps have recesses, through which the crown cork areas of bottles can be inserted when pushed into the end openings of the erected blank.
  • the recesses avoid that the transverse flaps obstruct the insertion of the bottles.
  • the transverse flaps on a central recess and / or lateral recesses are a central recess and / or lateral recesses.
  • the middle recess is V-shaped.
  • the lateral recesses bevels at the edges of the transverse flaps, through which the width of the transverse flaps decreases with increasing distance from their articulation to the reinforcing wall.
