Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a package for packaging a beverage bottle.
  • the present invention also relates to a blank for forming such a package.
  • a known package for packaging a beverage bottle such as a wine bottle, concerns an inner part having a rear wall, two opposing side walls and a front wall which, together, define an elongate receiving space in which the wine bottle can be placed from an open upper side of the package.
  • the aforesaid walls are made of a piece of cardboard which is folded along three respective fold lines.
  • the bottom is first closed, for which a separate piece of cardboard may or may not be used as a bottom part, whereupon the above-described package is placed in the outer box in a height direction.
  • a wine bottle can be placed upright in the package from the upper side, which is still open, with the bottom of the wine bottle being supported on the aforesaid bottom part or on the bottom of the outer box. Then the outer box is closed, for which a separate cover plate of cardboard may or may not be used. Because the wine bottle is thus provided with a layer of cardboard on all six sides inside the outer box, it is to a greater extent protected against breakage during transport.
  • a drawback of the above-described known package is that it is only universally usable to a limited extent, as it is highly tailored to the length of a particular bottle type so as provide a sound package for the bottle. That is, relatively long beverage bottles do not by definition fit a package of a particular size, whilst relatively short bottles fit a package of a particular size with a great deal of clearance in longitudinal direction, so that it can slide forward and backward in the height direction or, in other words, the longitudinal direction of the beverage bottle during transport, which entails a greater risk of breakage. The result of this is that several package sizes are needed for packaging a variety of types of beverage bottles, which is undesirable.
  • a package for packaging a beverage bottle such as a wine bottle, which is designed to be placed as an inner part in an outer box and which is at least substantially formed from a folded blank, comprising, at least in the folded condition, a rear wall surface, a left-hand side wall surface extending transversely to the rear wall surface, an opposite right-hand side wall surface extending transversely to the rear wall surface, and a front wall surface disposed opposite the rear wall surface, extending parallel thereto, which wall surfaces define an elongate receiving space for the beverage bottle, which receiving space has a height direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the beverage bottle, at least when a beverage bottle is present in the package, wherein the rear wall surface comprises a neck anchoring flap provided with a hole, which can be folded about a first fold line extending transversely to the height direction in the rear wall surface, from a non-folded position toward the front wall surface to a neck anchoring position, wherein the hole provided in the neck anchoring flap is designed to
  • the invention is based on the inventive insight that a large variety of beverage bottles, among which wine bottles having a capacity of 0.75 or 1 litre and a variety of shapes, and beer bottles, for example half litre beer bottles, have a neck that has a length between the mouth of the bottle and a position along the neck where the diameter of the neck is roughly 3.5 cm of less than about 9 cm.
  • the remaining lower part of the bottle has a length roughly between 20 and 25 cm.
  • WO 2004/041665 A1 discloses a carton insert and a packaged carton according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • GB 712915 A discloses improvement in or relating to cartons.
  • a liquid container packaging body is disclosed in JP 2005075438 A .
  • CN 202226120 U a packaging box is disclosed in CN 202226120 U.
  • the package In the case of packages of the type folded from a blank made of cardboard, for example, two things are important, viz. that the package consists of as few parts as possible, that is, as few separate blank parts as possible, and that the area defined by the largest dimensions of the blank is as small as possible.
  • the neck anchoring flap In which the neck anchoring flap is connected to the rear wall surface via a fold line, it becomes possible to have said neck anchoring flap form part of the area of the rear wall surface, at least in the non-folded position, so that no additional cardboard is needed for this.
  • the inventor has inventively realised in this regard that by folding out the neck anchoring flap from the rear wall surface, the open space thus formed in the rear wall surface need not be filled, because, precisely by keeping the neck of the beverage bottle centrally positioned in the receiving space, the presence spaced therefrom of a wall surface of the package is no longer of relevance, as, seen in a direction transversely to the height direction, the neck and the bottle mouth are still spaced from the wall surfaces of the package by a fixed distance determined by the hole.
  • the locking element is made up of a locking flap provided on one of the front wall surface, the left-hand wall surface and the right-hand wall surface, which locking flap can be folded about a second fold line extending in the height direction and which is provided in such a height position in the package that a lower boundary edge of the locking flap is positioned just above the neck anchoring flap in the neck anchoring position thereof, at least in a locking position of the locking flap.
  • the invention relates to a package for packaging a beverage bottle, such as a wine bottle, which is designed to be placed as an inner part in an outer box and which is at least substantially formed from a folded blank, comprising, at least in the folded condition, a rear wall surface, a left-hand side wall surface extending transversely to the rear wall surface, an opposite right-hand side wall surface extending transversely to the rear wall surface, and a front wall surface disposed opposite the rear wall surface, extending parallel thereto, which wall surfaces define an elongate receiving space for the beverage bottle, which receiving space has a height direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the beverage bottle, at least when a beverage bottle is present in the package, wherein the package comprises a neck anchoring flap provided with a hole, wherein the hole provided in the neck anchoring flap is designed to surround the neck of the bottle in the receiving space in a neck anchoring position of the neck anchoring flap, wherein the package is provided with a locking element for blocking movement of the neck anchoring flap in the neck anchoring position.
  • the invention also relates to a blank as defined in claim 12.
  • the blank comprises a one-piece rectangular rear wall surface having a height direction, which, on a left-hand side thereof, is connected, via a fourth fold line parallel to the height direction, to a first left-hand side wall surface which is connected, on a side remote from the rear wall surface, via a fifth fold line parallel to the height direction, to a first front wall surface which is connected, on a side remote from the rear wall surface, via a sixth fold line parallel to the height direction, to a first right-hand side wall surface, and which, on a right-hand side thereof, is connected, via a fourth fold line parallel to the height direction, to a second right-hand side wall surface which is connected, on a side remote from the rear wall surface, via a fifth fold line parallel to the height direction, to a second front wall surface which is connected, on a side remote from the rear wall surface, via a sixth fold line parallel to the height direction, to a second left-hand side wall surface, wherein
  • the package comprises a further locking element for locking the neck anchoring flap in place in the non-folded position.
  • the package can also be used very advantageously for packaging a beverage bottle that is already packaged in a tube or the like, for example, which would render it impossible to place the neck anchoring flap around the bottle neck.
  • the locking flap is preferably provided in such a manner that it extends transversely to the rear wall surface, at least in the locking position.
  • the further locking element is preferably provided as a lip on a free edge of the locking flap which faces the rear wall surface, at least in the locking position, and which, at least in the non-folded position of the neck anchoring flap, engages in a hole adapted to fit the lip in the neck anchoring flap.
  • the hole in the neck anchoring flap is a slotted hole having a longitudinal direction in the height direction, at least in the non-folded position.
  • the neck anchoring flap has a free edge opposite the first fold line and, between the first fold line and the free edge, a third fold line extending parallel to the first fold line, which third fold line is located in the immediate vicinity of the front wall surface in the neck anchoring position, or, in other words, the neck anchoring flap extends from the rear wall surface to the front wall surface in the neck anchoring position, wherein a back folding part of the neck anchoring flap that is located between the third fold line and the free edge can be folded in such a manner that it extends substantially parallel to a base part of the neck anchoring flap that is located between the first fold line and the third fold line.
  • the back folding part thus forms an additional strengthening of the neck anchoring flap.
  • the hole can be reduced to an opening for the neck of the beverage bottle that is centrally positioned in the receiving space.
  • An inscribed circle of said opening preferably has a diameter of between 3 and 4 cm, preferably about 3.5 cm. It is advantageous if the aforesaid free edge of the back folding part comprises a part-circular notch in line with the slotted hole, such that an at least more or less circular opening is formed by the folding back.
  • the package is designed to hold three beverage bottles side by side in the three respective receiving spaces, wherein the rear wall surface is common for the three receiving spaces, wherein a first one of the three receiving spaces is defined by a first left-hand side wall surface which is connected to a left-hand longitudinal side of the rear wall surface via a fourth fold line, wherein a first front wall surface is connected to the first left-hand side wall surface via a fifth fold line, and wherein a first right-hand side wall surface is connected to the first front wall surface via a sixth fold line, wherein a second one of the three receiving spaces is defined by a second right-hand side wall surface which is connected to a right-hand longitudinal side opposite the left-hand longitudinal side of the rear wall surface via a fourth fold line, wherein a second front wall surface is connected to the second right-hand side wall surface via a fifth fold line, and wherein a second left-hand side wall surface is connected to the second front wall surface via a sixth fold line, and wherein a third one of the three receiving spaces
  • the neck anchoring flap is in that case a common neck anchoring flap for the three receiving spaces, or, in other words, it is made in one piece, comprising three holes which are provided in such a manner that they are centrally located in the respective receiving spaces, at least in the neck anchoring position.
  • At least one of the first and the second front wall surface is/are provided with a lip that extends in the direction of the other of the first and the second front wall surface, which lip functions as a front wall surface for the third receiving space and which is provided in the package in such a manner that, in use, it forms a boundary of the third receiving space, near a bottom side of the beverage bottle.
  • the package comprises a further lip which is connected to the side wall surface in question via a seventh fold line, transversely to the height direction, at a bottom edge of said side wall surface, which further lip can be folded about the seventh fold line in such a manner that it extends substantially parallel to the side wall surface in question, in the direction of the neck anchoring flap.
  • the aforesaid multitude of lips forming a front wall surface of the third receiving space can also be used advantageously in beverage bottle packages that do not comprise the above-described neck anchoring flap. Accordingly it is a further object of the invention to provide a cost-advantageous package for packaging three beverage bottles which can be folded from a blank of limited dimension and that in a simple manner.
  • the aforesaid further object is achieved with the further package for packaging at least three beverage bottles, such as wine bottles, which is designed to be placed as an inner part in an outer box and which is at least substantially formed from a folded blank, comprising, at least in the folded condition, three side-by-side, mutually parallel elongated receiving spaces for one beverage bottle each, each having a height direction which extends parallel to a longitudinal direction of the beverage bottle, at least when a beverage bottle is present in the receiving space in question, wherein a first and a second of the three receiving spaces each comprise a rear wall surface, a left-hand side wall surface extending transversely to the rear wall surface, an opposite right-hand side wall surface extending transversely to the rear wall surface, and a front wall surface disposed opposite the rear wall surface, which extends parallel thereto, wherein a third receiving space of the three receiving spaces is disposed between the first and the second receiving space, which third receiving space comprises a rear wall surface, a left-hand side wall surface extending transversely to the
  • the invention also relates to a blank for forming the above-described packages according to the invention therefrom, the blank comprises a one-piece rectangular rear wall surface having a height direction, which, on a left-hand side thereof, is connected, via a fourth fold line parallel to the height direction, to a first left-hand side wall surface which is connected, on a side remote from the rear wall surface, via a fifth fold line parallel to the height direction, to a first front wall surface which is connected, on a side remote from the rear wall surface, via a sixth fold line parallel to the height direction, to a first right-hand side wall surface, and which, on a right-hand side thereof, is connected, via a fourth fold line parallel to the height direction, to a second right-hand side wall surface which is connected, on a side remote from the rear wall surface, via a fifth fold line parallel to the height direction, to a second front wall surface which is connected, on a side remote from the rear wall surface, via a sixth fold line parallel to the height direction, to a second left

  • the package 200 shown in figure 7a can be folded.
  • the material of the package 200 is corrugated board, but alternatively another sheet material may be used, such as a different type of cardboard, paper or plastic.
  • the package 200 is suitable for holding three beverage bottles, such as wine bottles, for example.
  • the package 200 is further intended for being placed in an outer box (not shown in the figures), which outer box only just fits around the greatest height, width and depth dimensions of the package 200.
  • a height direction 131 of the package 200 extends parallel to a longitudinal direction of the beverage bottles to be held in the package 200, analogously to the manner in which bottles 70 are held in the package described in the foregoing.
  • the package 200 comprises three side-by-side receiving spaces 121, 122 and 123 for holding one beverage bottle in each of the receiving spaces.
  • the package 200 is comparable to the package 100 as regards the general configuration and likewise comprises a rear wall surface 101 that is common for the three receiving spaces 121-123.
  • the rear wall surface 101 is connected, via a first fold line 181 extending in the height direction 131, to a left-hand side wall surface 102, which side wall surface 102 extends perpendicular to the rear wall surface 101 in the folded position and which has a depth dimension (in the depth direction 132) which substantially corresponds to the diameter of a beverage bottle that only just fits in the first receiving space 121.
  • said depth direction is about 9 cm.
  • the left-hand side wall surface 102 is connected, via a second fold line 182 that extends parallel to the first fold line 181, to a front wall surface 103 which has a width dimension, seen in the transverse direction 133, which likewise substantially corresponds to the diameter of a beverage bottle that only just fit in the receiving space 121.
  • the front wall surface 103 extends perpendicular to the left-hand side wall surface 102 and is connected, on the side remote from the left-hand side wall surface 102, via a third fold line 183, to a right-hand side wall surface 104 of the first receiving space 121.
  • the left-hand side wall surface 102, the front wall surface 103 and the right-hand side wall surface 104 have the same dimension, viz. about 35 cm. Because of the aforesaid dimensions of the wall surfaces 102-104 transversely to the height direction, the receiving space 121 is substantially square, seen in cross-sectional view.
  • the package 200 is designed to hold three wine bottles in three respective receiving spaces 121-123.
  • the construction of the various wall surface is symmetric and arranged in mirror image.
  • a third receiving space 123 having substantially the same cross-sectional dimensions, albeit not comprising a continuous front wall surface comparable to the front wall surfaces 103 and 103', is created centrally between the first and the second receiving 121 and 122, respectively.
  • the third receiving space has a left-hand side wall surface 104 and a right-hand side wall surface 102', which wall surfaces are the same surfaces as the right-hand side wall surface of the first receiving space and the left-hand side wall surface of the second receiving space.
  • the third fold line 183, 183' does not continue at the location of the lips 115, 115' thus formed, so that the lips 115, 115' will remain in the same plane as the front wall surfaces 103 and 103', respectively, when the side wall surface 104 and the side wall surface 102' are folded about the third fold line 183, 183', with the free ends thereof just passing along one another, as shown in figure 7a , so that a highly continuous, seen in height direction, layer of cardboard is formed in the centre, at least seen in the transverse direction 133 of the package 200, of the third receiving space 123 so as to provide a very effective protection of the beverage bottle present in the third receiving space.
  • the lips 115 and 115' are provided in alternating relationship, forming a front wall surface of the third receiving space 123.
  • the cutting out of the lips 115, 115' from the aforesaid side wall surfaces 104 and 102', respectively, has created holes in the aforesaid side wall surfaces 104 and 102', respectively.
  • an additional flap 116, 116' is provided via a fourth fold line 184, 184' that extends parallel to the height direction 131 (see in particular figure 7b ), which flap, as a result of being folded back through 180 degrees, extends forward along the adjacent side wall surface 104 or 102' into the receiving space 123, substantially covering the aforesaid holes created by the cutting out of the lips 115, 115' and/or forming a double side wall at places where the holes are not present.
  • the package 100 further comprises spacer lips 117, 117' and 119, 119', which are formed at the location of the first and second fold lines 181, 181' and 182, 182', analogously to the above-described lips 115, 115'. Said lips are analogous to the aforesaid lips 17, 17' and 19, 19'. Lips 120, 120' have been cut from the additional flaps 116, 116', extending from the fourth fold line 184, in a manner analogous to the lips 115, 115'.
  • the lips 120 and 120' pass through suitably configured recesses 121 and 121', respectively, in the rear wall surface 101, whilst the additional flaps 116, 116', on the other hand, fold back just before the rear wall 101.
