Definitions

  • the invention relates to a carton for rod-shaped frozen food or other frozen food from a carton with a layer of a polyolefin on the inside.
  • Folding cartons according to the invention are used for fish sticks, vegetable sticks or other rod-shaped frozen foods, vegetables or other frozen foods. Because of this purpose food-compatible materials are used.
  • the basic material used is basically a primary fiber board (also called a "fresh fiber board”), since a secondary fiber board (also called “recycled board”) is problematic for hygiene reasons.
  • the primary fiber board is coated on the inside with polyethylene, so that the material is not soaked with grease or liquid.
  • the layer of polyethylene is extruded onto the cardboard.
  • Known folding boxes for frozen food can be opened by breaking at least one adhesive bond between adjacent walls of the folding box.
  • cartons for frozen food with a limited by a perforation tear strip that can be opened by separating the tear strip along the perforation. Reclosing after removal of frozen food is not possible, which makes it difficult to handle the carton and the storage of remaining frozen food. This is particularly detrimental to supply packs sized for multiple meals.
  • folding boxes for fish sticks which can take 1x15, 2x10 or 2x16 fish sticks and are regularly consumed for a meal only partially.
  • the DE 20 2009 009 934 U1 describes a folding carton for frozen food made of primary fibreboard with a coating of polyolefin, a tear strip and a reinforcing strip joined along the tear strip with the polyolefin coating.
  • a reinforcing strip is disposed in an elongated recess along the inside of the tear strip.
  • the tear strip runs completely over the walls so that the carton can be separated into two parts. At least two mutually opposite walls have a fold line adjacent to the tear strip in each case in the middle.
  • the tear strip is easy to open due to the reinforcing strip.
  • the larger part can be used as a container for remaining frozen food and the smaller part as a cap, which serves to reclosure of the larger part.
  • the fold lines make it possible to slightly compress the carton at the open end, so that the severed cap can be put on more easily.
  • the known cartons for fish sticks have the disadvantage that when opening only a narrow opening on the front side is exposed. This makes it difficult to remove fish sticks, especially when the packaging is completely filled or the top layer is taken from fish fingers.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a handling-friendly folding box for rod-shaped frozen food or other frozen food.
  • a longitudinal side wall is formed from two longitudinal side wall parts which overlap one another.
  • the outer longitudinal side wall part is outside and the inner long side wall part is arranged inside.
  • the outer longitudinal side wall part is provided between the connecting portion between the two longitudinal side wall parts and its articulation to an adjacent longitudinal side wall with a tear strip which extends in the longitudinal direction, ie in the direction in which the linkages between the longitudinal side wall parts extends.
  • the tear strip extends parallel to these linkages.
  • the tear strip is preferably delimited by lines of weakness that facilitate separation.
  • this part of the longitudinal side wall part can be folded away together with the hinged adjacent longitudinal side wall and thereby a wide opening of the carton are exposed.
  • the carton In the longitudinal direction, the carton has larger dimensions than in the transverse direction. Therefore, the opening between the longitudinal sides by folding away a longitudinal side wall is greater than a conventional opening between the transverse sides by folding away a front side wall.
  • the carton has means for reclosing, which are arranged between the articulation of the outer longitudinal side wall portion of the adjacent longitudinal side wall and the tear strip. By means of resealing the carton is resealable when the dissolved part of the outer longitudinal side wall part and the longitudinal side wall guided thereon are pivoted back into their original position.
  • the carton according to the invention facilitates the removal of fish fingers, vegetable sticks and other rod-shaped frozen products and other frozen foods due to their wide opening between two longitudinal side walls.
  • the carton allows the reclosure to keep the remaining frozen food.
  • the connecting region is delimited by the edge of the outer longitudinal side wall part and the reinforcing strip remote from the articulation of the outer longitudinal side wall part.
  • the outer longitudinal side wall part is connected in the connection area over the entire area with the inner longitudinal side wall part.
  • the longitudinal side wall parts in the connection region are connected to each other by points and / or along lines.
  • the two longitudinal side wall parts are the same length and / or the same width.
  • the two longitudinal side wall parts are congruent or approximately congruent. This is particularly advantageous for a uniform printed image on the outer sides of the longitudinal side walls.
  • the carton is regularly printed on the outside. If the outer longitudinal side wall part covers only a part of the associated longitudinal side wall, register errors may occur at the edges.
  • the reclosing means comprises a longitudinally extending fold line in the outer longitudinal side wall part between the reinforcement strip and the outer longitudinal side wall part hinging to the adjacent longitudinal side wall, said fold line having at least one break and extending a cut line between the ends of the fold line next to the break is that limits a respect to the fold line for articulation of the outer longitudinal side wall portion to the adjacent longitudinal side wall projecting projection.
  • the reclosing means comprises a punch in the inner longitudinal side wall part which extends between the end points of the fold line in the upper longitudinal side wall part. After folding the dissolved part of the outer longitudinal side wall part and the longitudinal side wall hinged thereto, the projection can be inserted into the cutout.
  • the remote from the articulation part of the outer longitudinal side wall part is slightly pivoted away from the inner longitudinal side wall part, whereby the projection is aligned with the punched and inserted into this. After inserting the projection in the punched-out part of the folded-up part is pivoted back against the inner longitudinal side wall part and the projection is locked in the punched-out.
  • the projection is arcuate and / or the punch-out is gap-shaped. As a result, the insertion of the projection is facilitated in the punching.
  • a reinforcing strip is applied to the outer longitudinal side wall part on the inside of the tear strip.
  • the reinforcing strip prevents inadvertent tearing of the tear strip and facilitates its separation.
  • the tear strip facilitates the separation of the layer of polyolefin and avoids the loosening of cardboard fibers.
  • the reinforcing strip is arranged in a depression on the inside of the tear strip.
  • the outer longitudinal side wall part are connected to the inner longitudinal side wall part between the means for reclosing in a detachable from the inner longitudinal side wall portion.
  • the detachable portion of the inner longitudinal side wall portion is cut out upon the unfolding of the loosened portion of the outer longitudinal side wall portion after the tear tab has been cut out.
  • a further opening in the inner longitudinal side wall part is exposed, which additionally facilitates the removal of frozen food.
  • tightly packed, rod-shaped frozen products can be gripped more easily due to this opening.
  • the detachable region is limited by a line of weakness in the lower side wall part. According to a further embodiment, the detachable region extends from the edge of the inner longitudinal side wall part, which is remote from the articulation of the inner longitudinal side wall part to the adjacent longitudinal side wall. According to another embodiment, the detachable region is approximately trapezoidal.
  • the longitudinal side wall on which the outer longitudinal side wall part is articulated, has front side wall parts articulated on its transverse sides in the form of dust flaps and / or the longitudinal side wall opposite the aforementioned longitudinal side wall has front wall parts hinged to the transverse sides in the form of further dust flaps.
  • the dust flaps facilitate reclosing of the package as they are easily insertable into the opening between opposing longitudinal side walls exposed by the opening of the carton.
  • the dust flaps adjacent to the edge of the longitudinal side wall, to which the outer longitudinal side wall part is articulated a chamfer.
  • end side wall parts are articulated to the transverse sides of the inner longitudinal side wall part completely bridging the distance range to the opposite longitudinal side wall and / or are hinged to the transverse sides of the opposite longitudinal side wall end side wall parts which partially or completely bridge the distance range to the lower longitudinal side wall part.
  • the front side wall parts which are articulated to the transverse sides of the lower longitudinal side wall and the longitudinal side wall opposite thereto, are connected to one another.
  • the longitudinal side wall parts and / or the front side wall parts are connected to each other by gluing.
  • the bonding can be carried out in particular over the whole area and / or at points and / or along lines.
  • the folding box according to the invention is cuboidal.
  • the invention relates to a carton filled with fish fingers, vegetable sticks or other rod-shaped frozen food or other frozen food.
  • a blank 1 of the carton according to the invention has four longitudinal side walls 2, 3, 4, 5 which are longitudinally abutted against one another.
  • the longitudinal side wall 2 comprises an inner longitudinal side wall part 2.1 and an outer longitudinal side wall part 2.2.
  • the end face wall parts 6.2 and 7.2 and 6.4 and 7.4 are formed as dust flaps and hinged to the transverse sides of the longitudinal side wall parts 3 and 5.
  • the end face wall parts 6.1 and 7.1 are hinged to the transverse sides of the inner longitudinal side wall part 2.1.
  • the end face wall parts 6.3, 7.3 are hinged to the transverse sides of the longitudinal side wall 4.
  • the longitudinal side walls 2 to 5 are rectangular, wherein the longitudinal sides are longer than the transverse sides. Furthermore, the transverse sides of the longitudinal side walls 3, 5 are narrower than the transverse sides of the longitudinal side walls 2, 4.
  • the inner longitudinal side wall part 2.1 has approximately in the center of a slot-shaped punched-8. Furthermore, the inner longitudinal side wall part 2.1 has a detachable area 9, which is delimited by a line of weakness 10.
  • the detachable region 9 is trapezoidal, with the wide base of the trapezoid falling in the free longitudinal side of the inner longitudinal side wall portion 2.1. The detachable region 9 terminates at a distance in front of the punching 8.
  • the end face wall parts 6.2, 7.2 and 6.4, 7.4 each have adjacent to the articulation of the longitudinal side walls 3, 5 on the inner longitudinal side wall portion 2.1 and the outer longitudinal side wall portion 2.2 at the edge of a bevel 11, 12, 13, 14.
  • the upper longitudinal side wall part 2.2 has a tear strip 15 which extends parallel to the articulation of the upper longitudinal side wall part 2.2 to the adjacent longitudinal side wall 5.
  • the tear strip 15 is bounded by two parallel perforation lines 16.1, 16.2.
