Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a carton for storing and dispensing products, and more particularly to a carton for storing and dispensing products having an outer carton and an inner carton displaceable relative to one another using a spring mechanism and each having an opening on its lateral surface , which come to cover when moving the inner box relative to the outer box.
  • Such a carton is in the CH 473 012 or even the EP 2 368 806 A1 disclosed.
  • the cartons of the prior art there is the disadvantage that products can be taken out of the folding box only cumbersome or fall out of the carton uncontrolled.
  • the user of the known cartons must occasionally shake them to release products from the interior, because the products do not abut against the dispenser opening precisely before it.
  • a folding box for storing and dosed dispensing of products is provided with an outer box having an upper side, a lower side, a recess and on its outer surface at least one outer opening, and an inner box having on its outer surface at least one inner opening, wherein the inner box is arranged displaceably within the outer box such that when the inner box is moved from the upper side to the lower side, at least one inner opening with at least one outer opening at least partially coincides to form a dispensing opening, and wherein the displacement of the inner box counteracts a spring force of a Spring takes place, which is arranged between inner box and outer box.
  • the folding box is characterized in that the inner box has an intermediate bottom, which is inclined with respect to the plane perpendicular to the direction of action of the spring force such that, when the dispensing opening is formed, the part of the intermediate bottom located in the region of the dispensing opening is arranged closer to the underside. Due to the sloped intermediate floor a better donor function results, because products are already arranged in the closed state of the carton near the opening due to the inclination and gravity. A careful opening of the carton box thus allows an improved, more reliable dosage.
  • the intermediate bottom in the region of the dispenser opening is aligned with the lower edge of the inner opening.
  • a product located on the inclined intermediate floor thus presses against the outer opening from the inside and can be easily removed or dropped by itself from the dispensing opening.
  • the intermediate bottom in the region of the dispenser opening is aligned with the lower edge of the outer opening. This is the normal expectation of a user who will push the inner box completely down inside the outer box and then expects a product to fall out of the dispensing opening.
  • the intermediate bottom can also be arranged at any other height with respect to the inner or the outer opening in order to set the metered delivery exactly.
  • the intermediate bottom has a plurality of surfaces which are funnel-shaped aligned with the lower edge of the inner opening. This makes products on the false bottom even better oriented towards the inner opening, and products that are farther away from the opening can slide better.
  • the intermediate bottom has small holes.
  • Klein is to be understood in this context that the size of the holes is small in relation to the cross-sectional area of the products, because the products should not fall through the openings or holes. These are used to separate dust, dirt and other unwanted particles from the products.
  • the holes need not be uniformly distributed over the intermediate floor, but may be arranged in the corners or at the edge, for example.
  • the outer box on the top of a tamper-evident closure which is connected in the closed state of the carton with the upper portion of the inner box.
  • This ensures that the original condition of the carton including products is clearly marked compared to the opened state.
  • Another function of this type of closure is the transport protection for the Feather. Because in the original state, the spring is always in its relatively relaxed position.
  • this tamper evident closure may consist of a tab with perforation that is glued to the inner packaging.
  • the tamper-evident closure can also be designed as an adhesive label, which is simultaneously glued or otherwise secured over part of the outer box and the inner box.
  • the outer box may have commercially available Euro hole tabs so that it can be hung on a Euro hole wall.
  • the intermediate bottom is formed integrally with the inner box. This offers the advantage of material reduction during production.
  • the intermediate floor can also be designed as a separate component.
  • outer box, inner box and shelf are made of cardboard material.
  • the material of the spring is preferably cardboard material, but may also be plastic, metal or rubber, depending on the frequency of the spring stress. It has been found by experiments that when using a cardboard spring, cardboard material folded accordion-like and arranged between the bottom of the inner box and bottom of the outer box has good spring properties. In particular, it has been found that the spring force decreases by only 5% when the spring is compressed 500 times.
  • the spring is formed from folded cardboard material, wherein the spring in the folded state has concave edges. This has the advantage that less material can be used, without sacrificing limitations in spring efficiency. Furthermore, the friction is reduced to the inner box. However, the edges can also be shaped differently, for. B. straight, wavy or jagged.
  • the carton has a rectangular or square base, but it may also be circular, elliptical, polygonal (polygonal), arcuate, or any combination thereof.
  • the outer and / or the inner opening may have an at least partially rectangular, diamond-shaped, circular, elliptical surface or a combination thereof.
  • the outer opening can extend over at least one edge extending parallel to the effective direction of the spring force. In the case of a rectangular cross-section of the outer box, the opening can thus go "over corner".
  • Fig. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the carton according to the invention in a perspective view.
  • the folding box 1 has an outer box 3, which comprises a recess 5 on its upper side 4.
  • an inner box 9 which protrudes from the outer box 3 in the upper area of the outer box, in particular from the recess 5.
  • Outer box 3 and inner box 9 are connected together in the closed state of the carton 1 via a tamper-evident closure, which is formed in the illustrated embodiment by a cover flap 21 which is connected via a punched fold line 23 fixed to the top 4 of the outer box 3 and flat with the lid surface the inner box 9 is glued.
  • the outer box 3 On its lateral surface, in the illustrated embodiment, in the area of a lateral cardboard box facing towards the underside 6, the outer box 3 has an outer opening 7.
  • the outer opening 7 is concealed in the illustrated, closed state of the folding box 1 from the inside by a lateral box field of the inner box 9.
  • a spring 15 is arranged between the outer box 3 and the inner box 9 in the lower region of the folding box 1, the spring force of which acts from the underside 6 on the lower side of the bottom of the inner box 9.
  • the dimensions of the inner box 9 within the outer box 3 are dimensioned such that in the closed state of the folding box 1, the bottom of the inner box 9 is below the lower edge 8 of the outer opening 7.
  • the inner box 9 has on its lateral surface, in the illustrated embodiment on the side box panel, the an inner opening 11, the surface of which in the illustrated embodiment, the surface of the outer opening 7 of the outer box 3 is formed according to the side box panel of the outer box 3 with the outer opening 7.
  • the inner box contains 9 products such as tablets, confectionery or other foods in dragee or powder form or the like. Since the inner opening 11 of the inner box 9 rests against the inner surface of the cardboard box of the outer box 3, the products can not be removed from the folding box 1.
  • Fig. 2 shows the preferred embodiment Fig. 1 in a slightly different perspective.
  • Fig. 1 shows elements described Fig. 2 an intermediate floor 17, which is arranged in the interior of the inner box 9.
  • the intermediate bottom 17 is an inclined surface which is inclined towards the inner opening 11 of the inner box 9.
  • inclined here refers to the plane perpendicular to the effective direction of the spring force of the spring 15, which is exactly vertical downwards in the illustrated preferred embodiment, that is from the top 4 toward the bottom 6 of the carton 1.
  • the intermediate bottom 17 has in the in Fig. 2 illustrated embodiment, holes 18, which serve to dust or other contaminants can fall through it and do not fall out of the dispensing opening of the carton 1 out.
  • the intermediate bottom 17 does not necessarily have to be formed by a single surface. Alternatively, a plurality of differently inclined, interconnected surfaces form the intermediate bottom 17. Common to all the intermediate bottom 17 forming surfaces, however, that their tendency causes products inside the inner box 9 to move towards the inner opening 11.
  • Fig. 3 shows a preferred embodiment of the carton according to the invention in the open state.
  • the tamper-evident closure formed by the glued-on tab 21 is destroyed, and the inner box 9 is opposite to the effective direction of the spring 15 inside the outer box 3 is shifted downward in the open position of the folding box 1.
  • This open position is characterized in particular by the superposition of the inner opening 11 of the inner box 9 of the outer opening 7 of the outer box 3.
  • the dispensing opening 13 is formed from the products the carton 1 can be removed or fall out of it.
  • the lowermost corner of the intermediate bottom 17 terminates with the lower edge 8 of the outer opening 7 and with the lower edge 12 of the inner opening 11.
  • the arrangement of the intermediate bottom 17 in the region of the dispenser opening 13 can be dimensioned depending on the size of the products of the folding box 1. This also applies to the size of the inner opening 11 and the outer opening 7. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the sizes of the inner opening 11 and the outer opening 7 do not coincide exactly with each other, so that the size of the dispensing opening 13 is no longer the complete Size of the outer opening 7 corresponds. It is also possible to determine the size of the dispenser opening by suitably arranging the intermediate bottom 17 and its area 19.
  • the thickness of the spring 15 in the compressed state that is, the extension in the effective direction of the spring 15, be dimensioned such that the inner opening 11 and the outer opening 7 only partially overlap with each other, so that the dispenser opening 13 as a sectional surface of the two Openings 7, 11 results.
  • the dispensing opening 13 is provided by covering the outer opening 7 with the inner opening 11, both of which are formed on a flat cardboard box of the inner box 9 and the outer box 3, respectively. It is conceivable that many openings extend over an edge of the lateral surface of the inner box or of the outer box, so that a "corner” results in the opening. Furthermore, it is possible that a plurality of dispenser openings 13, preferably next to one another, are arranged in the downwardly pointing region of the intermediate bottom 17.
  • the intermediate bottom 17 is disposed within the inner box 9 as a separate element.
  • the intermediate bottom 17 may be integrally formed with the inner box 9. It can also be glued or attached inside the inner box 9 to this.
  • the present invention has provided a carton which has a simple structure and enables reliable and orderly, controlled dispensing of products.
