Definitions

  • a packaging container is known in practice for storing fast food like hamburgers or similar products. Generally, to remove the fast food, a lid part is swiveled upwards relative to the bottom part, so that the content of the packaging container is accessible for removal. Such a container is described in EP 1 785 359 A1. Sometimes, the user of such a packaging container would like to consume the fast food directly from the container without taking it out of the container.
  • This locking means allows an easy opening of this remaining container half to take out the rest of the food which cannot be further consumed through the corresponding lateral opening of this remaining container half.
  • a corresponding locking means is not necessary for the removed container half.
  • a second tearing line which extends along the first tearing line defining a tearing strip between the two tearing lines.
  • This tearing strip may be removed in total using both of the limiting tearing lines. It is possible, that the first and the second tearing line obliquely extend relative to each other. In such a way, the tearing strip will change its width, wherein the smallest part of the tearing strip may be used for starting the removal.
  • the front wall of the lid part may have cutouts adjacent to the handheld portion of the tearing strip.
  • the front wall section with the longer length is curved at one edge in direction to the at least one tearing line.
  • This particular curved edge may then be used as some kind of hand held portion during separation of the container halves along the tearing line.
  • the simple two-dimensional blank can be used for forming the packaging container as mentioned above.
  • Such a blank can comprise two bottom panels, two top panels, four rear and four front wall panels, wherein pairs of the panels are separated by the at least one tearing line.
  • the two bottom panels form the bottom wall of the bottom part, and the two top panels form the top wall of the lid part.
  • Each of the corresponding parts also comprises two rear and two front wall panels that are all separated by said tearing line.
  • FIG 1 one embodiment of a packaging container 1 according to the present invention, is shown in a perspective view from the top.
  • the tearing strip 15 is defined by a number of cut lines 27-30, see figures 1 and 2, which define lateral edge portions 21 and 22 of the tearing strip 15 and complimentary connecting edge portions 23 and 24 of the top wall 9, which are overlapped by the lateral edge portions 21 and 22.
  • Fixing lugs 43 are provided that extend from end edges of front walls 5 and 10, and rear walls 6 and 11 to fix the front wall or the corresponding rear wall with the adjacent side walls. Those fixing lugs 43 are fixed to interior surfaces of corresponding side walls 7, 8, or 12, 13, by applying an adhesive.
  • the packaging container according to the invention can also be used for providing two fast foods, one in each container half, wherein this packaging container is some kind of partner container. After buying the partner container, it can be separated, and two people can share the container's contents, wherein each person gets one container half.
  • FIG 4 there is a blank 45 as a single blank for producing the container according to figures 1 to 3.
  • the blank 45 comprises a number of panels 46-56, which form corresponding walls.
  • top panels 47 and 48 with the tearing strip 15 therebetween form the top wall 9 of the lid part 3.
  • Front panels 51 form the front wall 5 of the bottom part 2.
  • the rear walls 6 and 11 of bottom and lid parts 2, 3, are each formed by a pair of rear panels 49 and 50, respectively. At the ends of those rear panels, fixing lugs 43 are arranged, wherein such lugs are also arranged at longitudinal ends of front panels 51 and 52.
  • the folding lines 41 between each of the side panels 53 and 54 and the adjacent bottom panels 46 are all convexly curved in direction to the bottom panel, see the other folding lines 41 between the side panels 55 and 56, and top panels 47 and 48, respectively.
  • the swivel joint line 20, see figure 2 is formed by folding line 42 between the different rear panels 49 and 50 of the bottom part 2 and the lid part 3.
  • the main difference is the arrangement of only one tear line 62 which is used for separating the two container halves, see also figure 3. It is not necessary to remove a corresponding tearing strip 15 but by gripping corresponding handheld portion 19 as part of one of the front panels 52 the corresponding container halves can be separated.
  • the corresponding front panel 52 with the handheld portion 19 has a longer length compared to the other front panel 52, which two front panels 52 are separated by the first tearing line 62.
