Technisches UmfeldTechnical environment

Die Erfindung betrifft ein faltbares Sockelelement als Basis für Verkaufsaufsteller zur Präsentation von Waren mit einer umlaufenden Rahmenwandung aus vier miteinander verbundenen Seitenwänden und mindestens einem, mit der Rahmenwandung an deren Innenseite verbundenen Verstärkungselement, wobei das Sockelelement reversibel aus einer flachen Transportstellung durch einen Aufklappvorgang in eine räumliche Nutzstellung bringbar ist.The invention relates to a foldable base element as a basis for sales displays for the presentation of goods with a peripheral frame wall made of four side walls connected to one another and at least one reinforcement element connected to the frame wall on the inside thereof, the base element being reversible from a flat transport position into a three-dimensional one by means of an opening process Useful position can be brought.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Faltbare Sockelelemente der eingangs geschilderten gattungsgemäßen Art werden zum Aufbau von Regalen zur Lagerung und Präsentation von Waren vorzugsweise im Einzelhandel eingesetzt.Collapsible base elements of the generic type described above are used to set up shelves for storing and presenting goods, preferably in retail.

Die Regale bestehen zumeist zumeist aus einem Sockel und mehreren übereinander angeordneten horizontalen Regalböden, die auf bzw. zwischen den gattungsgemäßen Tragelementen positioniert sind. Je nach Art der verwendeten Waren werden dabei an die aus Papier- oder Kunststoffmaterialien aufgebauten Sockelelemente nicht unbeträchtliche Stabilitätsanforderungen gestellt, wobei gleichzeitig die Sockelelemente für den Transport und die Lagerung möglichst raumsparend gehandhabt werden sollen und ein schneller Aufbau gewährleistet sein muss.The shelves mostly consist of a base and several horizontal shelves arranged one above the other, which are positioned on or between the generic support elements. Depending on the type of goods used, not inconsiderable stability requirements are placed on the base elements made of paper or plastic materials, with the base elements for transport and storage being possible at the same time are to be handled in a space-saving manner and rapid construction must be guaranteed.

So ist aus dem Stand der Technik gemäß dem Gebrauchsmuster G 89 01 601 Verkaufsaufsteller mit einem Sockel bekannt. Dieser Sockel ist speziell als Palettenaufsteller ausgebildet. Dabei ist der Verkaufsaufsteller auf dem Sockel angeordnet, welcher seinerseits auf eine Palette gestellt werden kann. Der Sockel weist zwei Seitenwände auf. Diese verlaufen derart, dass sie zum Innenraum des Sockels hin eingeknickt sind. Dadurch wird dem Sockel bezogen auf eine Belastung von oben Stabilität gegeben. Ferner sind im Innenraum des Sockels Stege vorgesehen, welche zwischen Vorderwand und Rückwand des Sockels verlaufen. Auch hoch diese Stege sind erkennbar einzeln in die gewünschte Stellung zwischen Vorderwand und Wand zu verbringen. Das äußerlich erkennbare Einknicken der Seitenwände wird in dem im Hinblick auf die Gesamt Gestaltung des Verkaufsausstellers oftmals als ästhetischer Nachteil empfunden. Weitere gattungsgemäße, faltbare Sockelelemente sind bspw. aus der US 6 079 560 A bzw. der RU 195 442 U1 bekannt.So is known from the prior art according to the utility model G 89 01 601 sales display with a base. This base is specially designed as a pallet display. The sales display is arranged on the base, which in turn can be placed on a pallet. The base has two side walls. These run in such a way that they are buckled towards the interior of the base. This gives the base stability in relation to a load from above. Furthermore, webs are provided in the interior of the base, which run between the front wall and rear wall of the base. Even high, these webs can be seen to be brought individually into the desired position between the front wall and the wall. The externally recognizable buckling of the side walls is often perceived as an aesthetic disadvantage with regard to the overall design of the sales display. More generic, foldable base elements are, for example U.S. 6,079,560 A or the RU 195 442 U1 known.

Aufgabe der Erfindungobject of the invention

Ausgehend vom bekannten Stand der Technik bekannten Lösungen für ein faltbares Sockelelement als Basis für Verkaufsaufsteller zur Präsentation von Waren mit den gattungsbildenden Merkmalen besteht die Aufgabe der Erfindung darin, ein derartiges Sockelelement dahingehend weiter zu entwickeln, dass eine kostengünstige, ressourcenschonende und somit umweltfreundliche Herstellung gewährleistet ist, dass das Tragelement eine auch für schwere Waren ausreichende Stabilität aufweist und trotzdem einfach aufzubauen ist. Darüber hinaus ist zu gewährleisten, dass das Tragelement einfach aus dem Nutzzustand in den nicht aufgebauten transferiert werden und in diesem Zustand platzsparend gelagert und transportiert werden kann.Based on the known prior art solutions for a foldable base element as a basis for sales displays for the presentation of goods with the generic features, the object of the invention is to further develop such a base element in such a way that a cost-effective, resource-saving and thus environmentally friendly production is guaranteed That the support element has sufficient stability even for heavy goods and is still easy to set up. In addition, it must be ensured that the support element can be easily transferred from the used state to the unassembled state and can be stored and transported in a space-saving manner in this state.

Lösung der Aufgabesolution of the task

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruches 1 dargelegte technische Lehre gelöst.The stated object is achieved according to the invention by the technical teaching presented in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Erfindungswesentlich dabei ist es, dass die Rahmenwandung aus einer rechteckförmigen, einstückigen Tafel besteht, die alle vier Seitenwände, die durch Faltlinien schwenkbar miteinander verbunden sind, nebeneinander angeordnet ausbildet, wobei die äußeren freien Enden der Schmalseiten der Tafel durch Zusammenklappen der beiden äußeren der vier Seitenwände mittels eines Klebevorganges verbunden sind, und dass das Verstärkungselement aus einer zweiten rechteckförmigen Tafel besteht, welche die Knicklinie zwischen der ersten äußersten Seitenwand und der benachbarten Seitenwand an deren Innenseiten übergreift und an den in Rede stehenden benachbarten Seitenwänden jeweils mittels eines senkrecht zur Längserstreckung der ersten Tafel verlaufenden Klebebereiches verbunden ist, wobei das Verstärkungselement zwischen seinen an dessen freien Enden angeordneten Klebebereichen zwei parallel zu den Klebebereichen angeordnete Knicklinien aufweist und wobei eine der beiden Knicklinien über der Faltlinie zwischen erster äußerster Seitenwand und der benachbarten Seitenwand angeordnet ist.It is essential to the invention that the frame wall consists of a rectangular, one-piece panel that has all four side walls that pass through fold lines are pivotally connected to one another, arranged side by side, the outer free ends of the narrow sides of the panel being connected by folding the two outer ones of the four side walls together by means of a gluing process, and that the reinforcing element consists of a second rectangular panel which forms the fold line between the first outermost side wall and the adjacent side wall on their inner sides and is connected to the adjacent side walls in question by means of an adhesive area running perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the first panel, the reinforcing element between its adhesive areas arranged at its free ends two fold lines arranged parallel to the adhesive areas and wherein one of the two crease lines is located above the fold line between the first outermost side panel and the adjacent side panel.

Die Merkmale der geschilderten Konstruktion dienen dazu, ein Sockelelement zu schaffen, welches aus zwei oder drei Tafeln vorzugsweise aus Wellpappe aufgebaut ist, wobei sich die Tafeln durch ihre Rechteckform in der Ausgestaltung ohne entsprechenden Verschnitt ressourcenschonend aus entsprechendem Rohmaterial in einem ersten Arbeitsgang herstellen lassen. In einem zweiten Arbeitsschritt werden sodann die vorgefertigten Tafeln mittels entsprechender automatischer Klebemaschinen an den dafür vorgesehenen Stellen mit einem Kleberauftrag versehen und anschließend entsprechend übereinandergelegt und fixiert.The features of the construction described are used to create a base element which is made up of two or three panels, preferably made of corrugated cardboard, with the panels being able to be produced in a resource-saving manner from the appropriate raw material in a first step due to their rectangular shape in the design without corresponding waste. In a second work step, the prefabricated panels are then provided with an application of adhesive at the designated points using appropriate automatic gluing machines and then placed on top of each other and fixed accordingly.

Das Einbringen entsprechender Knick- und Stanzlinien in den verwendeten Tafeln aus Papier- oder Kunststoffmaterial ist neben der Herstellung der unzerklüfteten Stanzbögen eine Routinetätigkeit im Bereich der Wellpapierbearbeitung. Nach dem Ausstanzen der Tafeln und dem Verkleben sind beim Erfindungsgegenstand keiner weiteren Trennschnitte oder dergleichen notwendig. Das Transferieren des fertigen Sockelelementes aus seiner ungefalteten Transportstellung in eine räumliche Nutzstellung kann dabei auf einfachste Weise, gegebenenfalls auch am Ort des Einsatzes des Tragelementes zeitsparend vorgenommen werden.In addition to the production of the non-jagged die-cut sheets, the introduction of corresponding folding and punching lines in the panels made of paper or plastic material is a routine activity in the field of corrugated paper processing. After the panels have been punched out and glued, no further separating cuts or the like are necessary in the subject of the invention. The transfer of the finished base element from its unfolded transport position into a three-dimensional use position can be carried out in a very simple manner, if necessary also in a time-saving manner at the location where the support element is used.

Somit lässt sich das erfindungsgemäße Sockelelement auf einfachste Weise mithilfe in der Wertpapierbearbeitung üblicher Fertigungseinrichtungen schnell und kostengünstig herstellen. Es ist an dieser Stelle besonders herauszuheben, dass die notwendigen Verklebungen allesamt parallel ausgerichtet erfolgen. Der räumliche Aufbau des Sockelelementes und gegebenenfalls dessen Zurückfaltung in den Anlieferungszustand ist neben der Stabilität der Gesamtkonstruktion ein weiteres positives Merkmal.The base element according to the invention can thus be produced quickly and in the simplest possible way with the aid of production facilities that are customary in securities processing produce inexpensively. At this point, it should be particularly emphasized that the necessary adhesions are all aligned in parallel. The spatial structure of the base element and, if necessary, its folding back into the delivery state is another positive feature in addition to the stability of the overall construction.

Besondere Ausgestaltungen des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Merkmalen der auf den Hauptanspruch rückbezogenen Unteransprüche.Particular configurations of the subject matter of the invention result from the features of the dependent claims referring back to the main claim.

Es hat sich hinsichtlich des Erfindungsgegenstandes als zusätzlich vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn das faltbare Sockelelement ein zweites Verstärkungselement aus einer dritten rechteckförmigen Tafel aufweist, wobei diese Tafel die Knicklinie zwischen dem am freien Ende der der ersten äußeren Seitenwand gegenüberliegenden zweiten äußeren Seitenwand und der benachbarten Seitenwand an deren Innenseiten übergreift und an den in Rede stehenden benachbarten Seitenwänden jeweils mittels eines senkrecht zur Längserstreckung der ersten Tafel verlaufenden Klebebereiches verbunden ist, wobei das zweite Verstärkungselement zwischen seinen an dessen freien Enden angeordneten Klebebereichen zwei parallel zu den Klebebereichen angeordnete Knicklinien aufweist und wobei eine der beiden Knicklinien über der Faltlinie zwischen zweiter äußerster Seitenwand und der benachbarten Seitenwand angeordnet ist.With regard to the subject matter of the invention, it has also proven to be advantageous if the foldable base element has a second reinforcement element made of a third rectangular panel, this panel covering the fold line between the free end of the second outer side wall opposite the first outer side wall and the adjacent side wall at its overlaps the inner sides and is connected to the adjacent side walls in question by means of an adhesive area running perpendicularly to the longitudinal extent of the first panel, the second reinforcing element having two fold lines arranged parallel to the adhesive areas between its adhesive areas arranged at its free ends and one of the two fold lines located above the fold line between the second outermost side panel and the adjacent side panel.

Durch diese konstruktive Gestaltung erfährt das Sockelelement eine zusätzliche Stabilisierung und ist symmetrisch aufgebaut, so dass von oben wirkende Belastungen gleichmäßig aufgenommen werden können.This constructive design provides the base element with additional stabilization and is symmetrically constructed so that loads acting from above can be absorbed evenly.

Zur Vergrößerung der Standfläche des Sockelelementes kann es darüber hinaus zweckmäßig sein, an der Unterkante der Seitenwände unten vorstehende Umlegelaschen anzuordnen, wobei die Umlegelaschen mit der jeweiligen Seitenwand über eine Knicklinie gekoppelt sind.In order to increase the standing area of the base element, it can also be expedient to arrange folding flaps protruding below at the lower edge of the side walls, with the folding flaps being coupled to the respective side wall via a fold line.

Eine Vergrößerung der Aufstandsfläche des Sockelelementes kann ähnlich der Vergrößerung der Standfläche dadurch herbeigeführt werden, das an der Oberkante der Seitenwände nach oben vorstehende Umlegelaschen angeordnet werden, wobei diese Umlegelaschen mit den jeweiligen Seitenwänden über eine Knicklinie gekoppelt sind.An enlargement of the contact area of the base element can be brought about, similar to the enlargement of the standing area, by arranging upwardly protruding folding flaps on the upper edge of the side walls be, wherein these folding flaps are coupled to the respective side walls via a fold line.

Sowohl in ästhetischer als auch im Hinblick auf aufnehmbare Belastungen ist es zweckmäßig, die Seitenwände rechtwinklig zueinander anzuordnen.Both from an aesthetic point of view and with regard to the loads that can be absorbed, it is advisable to arrange the side walls at right angles to one another.

Hinsichtlich der Knicklinien und Faltlinien hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, diese teilweise als Perforationen auszubilden. Für diejenige Knicklinie im ersten und zweiten Verstärkungselement, die über der jeweiligen Faltlinie zwischen erster und zweiter äußerster Seitenwand und der benachbarten Seitenwand angeordnet ist, hat es sich hinsichtlich des Aufklappvorganges als vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn diese Knicklinie mit einer Mehrzahl von sich längs der Knicklinie erstreckenden Ausnehmungen versehen ist. Durch diese Maßnahme ist es möglich, dass die mittels dieser Knicklinie verbundenen Teilbereiche des Verstärkungselementes sich geringfügig gegeneinander verschieben können, sodass ein problemloses Aufklappen des faltbaren Sockelelementes von seiner flachen Transportstellung in eine räumliche Nutzstellung erleichtert wird.With regard to the buckling lines and fold lines, it has proven to be advantageous to embody these partially as perforations. For that fold line in the first and second reinforcement element, which is arranged above the respective fold line between the first and second outermost side wall and the adjacent side wall, it has proven to be advantageous with regard to the unfolding process if this fold line has a plurality of recesses extending along the fold line is provided. This measure makes it possible for the partial areas of the reinforcement element connected by means of this buckling line to be able to shift slightly in relation to one another, so that the foldable base element can be unfolded easily from its flat transport position into a three-dimensional use position.

Als zweckmäßiges Material für das faltbare Sockelelement respektive die Tafeln für die Rahmenwandung und die Verstärkungselemente hat sich Wellpappe als Material ergeben. Natürlich ist es auch alternativ denkbar, dass Wellpappe durch geeignete Kunststoffmaterialien zu ersetzen, sofern eine entsprechende Knick- und Faltlinientechnik gewährleistet ist.Corrugated cardboard has proven to be a suitable material for the foldable base element or the panels for the frame wall and the reinforcement elements. Of course, it is also alternatively conceivable to replace corrugated cardboard with suitable plastic materials, provided that a corresponding folding and folding line technique is guaranteed.

Zusätzlich zweckmäßig kann es sein, wenn an der Unterkante der Seitenwände nach unten vorstehende Haltelaschen angeordnet sind, die zur Verbindung mit einer an der dem Boden zugewandten Unterseite des Sockelelementes eingesetzten Palette dienen.It can also be expedient if downwardly protruding retaining lugs are arranged on the lower edge of the side walls, which are used for connection to a pallet used on the underside of the base element facing the floor.

Die Haltelaschen sind mit den jeweiligen Seitenwänden über eine Knicklinie gekoppelt. Sie können dabei an den nicht mit den Seitenwänden verbundenen weiteren Kanten aus der zugeordneten Umlegelasche ausgestanzt sein.The retaining tabs are coupled to the respective side panels via a crease line. They can be punched out of the associated folding flap at the other edges that are not connected to the side walls.

Zweckmäßig ist es darüber hinaus, wenn in den an der Oberkante der Seitenwände nach oben vorstehenden Umlegelaschen an deren den Seitenwänden abgewandten Oberkanten schlitzförmige Ausnehmungen ausgespart sind, in die jeweils der Teilbereich einer Oberkante eines Verstärkungselementes in der aufgeklappten Nutzstellung des faltbaren Sockelelementes eingreift. Diese Verhakung zwischen den Umlegelaschen, die zur Vergrößerung der Aufstandsfläche des Sockelelementes bzw. der Vergrößerung der Aufsetzfläche für einen Verkaufsaufsteller dienen, mit den inneren Verstärkungselementen führt zu einer zusätzlichen Stabilisierung des erfindungsgemäßen Sockelelementes und verhindert zuverlässig eine Verschiebung der rechtwinklig zueinander angeordneten Seitenwände infolge äußerer Belastung.It is also expedient if in the folding flaps on the side walls which protrude upwards at the upper edge of the side walls facing away from the upper edges slot-shaped recesses are cut into which engages in each case the portion of an upper edge of a reinforcing element in the unfolded use position of the foldable base element. This interlocking between the foldable tabs, which are used to increase the contact area of the base element or to increase the placement area for a sales display, with the inner reinforcement elements leads to additional stabilization of the base element according to the invention and reliably prevents displacement of the side walls arranged at right angles to one another as a result of external stress.

In der Figur 1 ist das erfindungsgemäße Sockenelement als Basis für Verkaufsaufsteller zur Präsentation von Waren aufgesetzt auf einer Palette 6 abgebildet. Das Sockelelement besteht im Wesentlichen aus einer umlaufenden Rahmenwandung, die in ihrer Gesamtheit mit 1 bezeichnet ist und aus rechtwinklig zueinander angeordneten Seitenwänden 2, 3, 4 und 5 besteht. Der Grundriss des erfindungsgemäßen Sockelelementes ist im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel rechteckig ausgestaltet, es ist selbstverständlich jedoch auch eine quadratische Ausführung denkbar. Im Inneren der Rahmenwandung 1 befinden sich ein erstes Verstärkungselement 7 sowie ein zweites Verstärkungselement 8.In the figure 1 the sock element according to the invention is shown placed on a pallet 6 as a basis for sales displays for the presentation of goods. The base element essentially consists of a surrounding frame wall, which is denoted in its entirety by 1 and is rectangular mutually arranged side walls 2, 3, 4 and 5 consists. The outline of the base element according to the invention is rectangular in the present exemplary embodiment, but a square design is of course also conceivable. Inside the frame wall 1 there is a first reinforcement element 7 and a second reinforcement element 8.

Erstes und zweites Verstärkungselement werden im Folgenden mit ihren jeweiligen Bezugsziffern 7 und 8 bezeichnet. Verstärkungselement 7 und Verstärkungselement 8 sind jeweils mit zwei Seitenwänden der Rahmenwandung 1 fest verbunden, wobei im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel Verklebungen zwischen den Bauteilen gewählt sind. Das Verstärkungselement 7 ist mit der Seitenwand 4 und der Seitenwand 3 verbunden, wohingegen das Verstärkungselement 8 mit den Seitenwänden 5 und 2 verklebt ist.The first and second reinforcement elements are denoted by their respective reference numerals 7 and 8 in the following. Reinforcement element 7 and reinforcement element 8 are each firmly connected to two side walls of the frame wall 1, with adhesive bonds between the components being selected in the present exemplary embodiment. The reinforcing element 7 is connected to the side wall 4 and the side wall 3, whereas the reinforcing element 8 is glued to the side walls 5 and 2.

Der Aufbau und die Herstellung des Sockelelementes wird anhand verschiedener Zeichnungen, die unterschiedliche Aufbaustadien des Sockelelementes bis hin zu seiner endgültigen Nutzstellung, wie sie in der Figur 1 gezeigt ist, näher erläutert.The structure and the production of the base element is based on various drawings, the different stages of construction of the base element up to its final position of use, as in the figure 1 is shown, explained in more detail.

Die Herstellung des Sockelelementes beginnt mit der Fertigung von drei im Wesentlichen rechteckförmigen Tafeln aus Wellpappematerial. Die Tafeln werden in üblicherweise Weise mittels entsprechend geeigneter Stanzmaschinen in der für den Zusammenbau notwendigen Form ausgestanzt. Die drei Tafeln bilden zum einen die Rahmenwandung 1 sowie die Verstärkungselemente 7 und 8 und sind in flächiger Übereinanderanordnung in der Figur 2 abgebildet. Aus dieser Figur sind alle wesentlichen für den Aufbau und das Verbringen des Sockelelementes aus einer flachen Transportstellung in eine räumliche Nutzstellung ersichtlich.The production of the base element begins with the production of three substantially rectangular panels made of corrugated cardboard material. The panels are punched out in the usual manner using suitable punching machines in the form required for assembly. The three panels form on the one hand the frame wall 1 and the reinforcing elements 7 and 8 and are in a planar superimposed arrangement in the figure 2 pictured. This figure shows all the essentials for the construction and moving of the base element from a flat transport position into a three-dimensional use position.

Die Rahmenwandung 1 besteht aus der im Zuschnitt ganz außen liegenden äußersten Seitenwand 5, der unmittelbar daneben angeordneten Seitenwand 4, die mit der Seitenwand 3 wiederum verbunden ist, an die sich die auf der rechten Seite der Tafel befindliche äußerste Seitenwand 2 anschließt. Entsprechend dem gewählten Grundriss des Sockelelementes sind die Seitenwände 4 und 2 in ihrer Längenausdehnung größer als die Seitenwände 5 und 3. Alle Seitenwände 2, 3, 4, 5 sind mit Faltlinien aneinander gekoppelt, wobei die Faltlinien als Rillungen ausgestaltet sind. Zwischen der Seitenwand 5 und der Seitenwand 4 befindet sich somit die Faltlinie 9, zwischen der Seitenwand 4 und der Seitenwand 3 die Faltlinie 10, zwischen der Seitenwand 3 und der Seitenwand 2 die Faltlinie 11.The frame wall 1 consists of the outermost side wall 5 in the blank, the side wall 4 arranged immediately next to it, which in turn is connected to the side wall 3, which is adjoined by the outermost side wall 2 located on the right-hand side of the panel. According to the selected floor plan of the base element, the side walls 4 and 2 are greater in length than the side walls 5 and 3. All side walls 2, 3, 4, 5 are coupled to one another with fold lines, the fold lines acting as grooves are designed. The fold line 9 is thus located between the side wall 5 and the side wall 4, the fold line 10 between the side wall 4 and the side wall 3, and the fold line 11 between the side wall 3 and the side wall 2.

Wie aus der Abbildung hervorgeht, befindet sich an der Außenkante der Seitenwand 5 eine Klebelasche 12, die mit einem Kleberauftrag versehen wird und zur Verbindung mit der gegenüberliegenden äußersten Seitenwand 2 dient, wie dies näher in der Figur 3 dargestellt ist.As can be seen from the figure, there is an adhesive flap 12 on the outer edge of the side wall 5, which is provided with an application of adhesive and is used for connection to the opposite, outermost side wall 2, as is shown in more detail in FIG figure 3 is shown.

An den oberen und unteren Kanten der Seitenwände 2, 3, 4 und 5 sind jeweils Umlegelaschen, angeordnet, wobei in der Darstellung für jede Umlegelasche die Kennzeichnung der zugehörigen Seitenwand und die Anordnung der Umlegelasche an der oberen oder unteren Kante mit jeweils A und B gekennzeichnet ist. An der Seitenwand 5 befinden sich somit eine obere Umlegelasche 5A und eine untere Umlegelasche 5B. Die obere Umlegelasche 5A zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass an ihrem äußersten Rand mittig eine Ausnehmung 18 befindet. Die Ausnehmung 18 ist schlitzförmig gestaltet, ihr Zweck wird im Laufe der weiteren Figurenbeschreibung erläutert werden.Folding flaps are arranged on the upper and lower edges of the side walls 2, 3, 4 and 5, with the identification of the associated side wall and the arrangement of the folding flap on the upper or lower edge being marked with A and B in the illustration for each folding flap is. On the side wall 5 there is thus an upper flap 5A and a lower flap 5B. The upper folding flap 5A is characterized in that there is a recess 18 in the middle of its outermost edge. The recess 18 is designed in the form of a slot, and its purpose will be explained in the course of the further description of the figures.

Es sind somit an der Tafel der Rahmenwandung 1 jeweils mit einer Knicklinie angekoppelt an die jeweilige Seitenwand die Umlegelaschen 2A und 2B, 3A und 3B, 4A und 4B sowie 5A und 5B vorhanden.There are thus on the panel of the frame wall 1 coupled with a fold line to the respective side wall, the folding flaps 2A and 2B, 3A and 3B, 4A and 4B and 5A and 5B available.

Die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung des Sockelelementes ergibt sich im Wesentlichen durch die Existenz, den speziellen Aufbau und die besondere Anordnung der Verstärkungselemente 7 und 8, die jeweils als rechteckförmige Wellpappetafeln ausgestanzt sind. Die Verstärkungselemente 7 und 8 sind identisch gestaltet und weisen, wie dies der Figur 2 zu entnehmen ist, vier parallel nebeneinander angeordnete Knicklinien 14, 15, 16 und 17 auf. Die Knicklinien 14, 16 und 17 sind dabei technisch gleich als Rillungen oder Perforierungen gestaltet.The design of the base element according to the invention results essentially from the existence, the special structure and the special arrangement of the reinforcement elements 7 and 8, which are each punched out as rectangular corrugated cardboard panels. The reinforcing elements 7 and 8 are designed identically and have, as is the figure 2 it can be seen that there are four fold lines 14, 15, 16 and 17 arranged parallel next to one another. The folding lines 14, 16 and 17 are technically designed in the same way as grooves or perforations.

Die Knicklinie 15 weist demgegenüber, wie dies aus Figur 2 deutlich wird, eine andere Gestaltung auf. Hier finden sich in Längsrichtung der Knicklinie 15 vorliegend drei Ausnehmungen 26, die als Langlöcher ausgebildet sind, dazwischen besitzt die Knicklinie 15 wie die anderen Knicklinien 14, 16 und 17 auch entweder eine Rillung oder eine der Perforierung. Die spezielle Ausgestaltung der Knicklinie 15 wird im Rahmen der weiteren Beschreibung als notwendig für die Funktion des erfindungsgemäßen Sockelelementes im Hinblick auf seine Transportstellung und Nutzstellung, in die das Sockelelement reversibel bringbar ist, erläutert.In contrast, the fold line 15 shows how this is done figure 2 becomes clear, a different design. Here there are three recesses 26 in the longitudinal direction of the fold line 15, which are designed as oblong holes, between which the fold line 15, like the other fold lines 14, 16 and 17, also has either a crease or a perforation. The special configuration of the fold line 15 is explained in the context of the further description as being necessary for the function of the base element according to the invention with regard to its transport position and use position, into which the base element can be brought reversibly.

Durch die Knicklinien 14 und 17 werden bei beiden Verstärkungselementen 7 und 8 jeweils Klebelaschen 19 an den äußersten Kanten der Verstärkungselemente 7 und 8 abgeteilt. Während des Herstellprozesses des Sockelelementes wird in den Zwischenraum zwischen der Unterseite der der Verstärkungselemente 7 und 8 und der Innenseite der Seitenwände 2, 3, 4 und 5 eine Klebeschicht aufgetragen und die Verstärkungselemente 7 und 8 dann mit den korrespondierenden Seitenwänden 2, 3, 4 und 5 fest verklebt. Die Anordnung der Verstärkungselemente 7 und 8 wird dabei so gewählt, dass die jeweiligen Knicklinien 15 der beiden Verstärkungselemente 7 und 8 jeweils über den Faltlinien 9 bzw. 11 der Rahmenwandung 1 angeordnet sind. Diese Anordnung ist grundsätzlich wichtig für die spätere Auffaltung des Sockelelementes in seine Nutzstellung.Due to the fold lines 14 and 17, adhesive tabs 19 are divided off on the outermost edges of the reinforcing elements 7 and 8 in the two reinforcing elements 7 and 8, respectively. During the manufacturing process of the base element, an adhesive layer is applied to the space between the underside of the reinforcement elements 7 and 8 and the inside of the side walls 2, 3, 4 and 5 and the reinforcement elements 7 and 8 are then attached to the corresponding side walls 2, 3, 4 and 5 firmly glued. The arrangement of the reinforcement elements 7 and 8 is selected in such a way that the respective fold lines 15 of the two reinforcement elements 7 and 8 are each arranged above the fold lines 9 and 11 of the frame wall 1 . This arrangement is fundamentally important for the subsequent unfolding of the base element into its use position.

Nach dem Aufkleben der Verstärkungselemente 7 und 8 mittels der Klebelaschen 19 auf die Rahmenwandung 1 werden die Seitenwand 5 und die Seitenwand 2 entsprechende Darstellung der Figur 3 nach oben und zueinander geklappt. Wie bereits erwähnt, wird die Klebelasche 12 an ihrer dann nach oben weisenden Außenseite mit einem Kleberauftrag versehen und mit der daneben liegenden Seitenwand 2 verklebt. Es entsteht somit eine geschlossene, flachliegende Rahmenwandung 1 mit darin liegenden Verstärkungselementen 7 und 8.After the reinforcement elements 7 and 8 have been glued to the frame wall 1 by means of the adhesive tabs 19, the side wall 5 and the side wall 2 are shown in the corresponding illustration figure 3 folded up and towards each other. As already mentioned, the adhesive flap 12 is provided with an application of adhesive on its outer side, which then points upwards, and is adhesively bonded to the side wall 2 lying next to it. The result is a closed, flat frame wall 1 with reinforcement elements 7 and 8 lying therein.

Mit dem Klebeprozess zur Ausformung der geschlossenen Rahmenwandung 1 ist der Herstellvorgang für das Sockelelement prinzipiell beendet. Der Herstellungsprozess besteht somit lediglich aus üblichen Stanzvorgängen für die Tafel der Rahmenwandung 1 und die Tafeln der Verstärkungselemente 7 und 8. Sämtliche Klebeprozesse finden in parallel zueinander liegenden Bereichen der Rahmenwandung 1 und der Verstärkungselemente 7 und 8 statt, weitergehende Zuschnittvorgänge sind nach der Bearbeitung des Sockelelementes auf der zugehörigen Klebemaschine nicht notwendig.In principle, the production process for the base element ends with the gluing process for forming the closed frame wall 1 . The manufacturing process therefore only consists of the usual punching processes for the panel of the frame wall 1 and the panels of the reinforcement elements 7 and 8. All gluing processes take place in parallel areas of the frame wall 1 and the reinforcement elements 7 and 8, further cutting processes are after the processing of the base element not necessary on the associated gluing machine.

Nach Beendigung des in den Figuren 2 und 3 beschriebenen Herstellvorganges erfolgt in weiteren Schritten die Transformierung des in seiner flachen Transportstellung befindlichen Sockelelementes in seiner räumlichen Nutzstellung.After the end of the figures 2 and 3 In the manufacturing process described, the transformation of the base element, which is in its flat transport position, takes place in further steps into its spatial use position.

Hierzu wird zunächst, wie dies anhand der Figur 4 deutlich wird, die flache Struktur zu einem Quader aufgefaltet. In der Darstellung der Figur 4 ist dabei die Rahmenwandung 1 auf die Palette 6 aufgesetzt. Die an der Unterseite der Seitenwände 2, befindlichen Umlegelaschen 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B werden vor dem Aufsetzen auf die Palette 6 nach innen gefaltet, so dass sich eine Vergrößerung der Standfläche des Sockelelementes auf der Palette 6 ergibt. Gleichzeitig werden die Haltelaschen 20, die sich in der Mitte jeder Umlegelasche 2B, 3B, 4B und 5B befinden, mit der Palette 6 verhakt. Die Haltelaschen 20 sind auch an ihrer den jeweiligen Seitenwänden 2, 3, 4 und 5 zugewandten Breitseite mit einer Knicklinie 21 verbunden. Die übrigen 3 Seiten der im wesentlichen rechteckförmig ausgestalteten Haltelasche 20 sind aus der jeweiligen Umlegelasche 2B, 3B, 4B und 5B ausgestanzt, so dass die Haltelasche 20 in Richtung der Palette 6 vorstehend nach unten an deren Rand zur Anlage kommen kann, wohingegen die Umlegelaschen wie bereits oben erwähnt nach innen zur Erhöhung der Aufstandsfläche eingeplant sind.For this purpose, how this is based on the figure 4 it becomes clear that the flat structure is unfolded into a cuboid. In the representation of figure 4 the frame wall 1 is placed on the pallet 6. The folding flaps 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B located on the underside of the side walls 2 are folded inwards before being placed on the pallet 6, so that the footprint of the base element on the pallet 6 is increased. At the same time, the holding tabs 20, which are located in the middle of each folding tab 2B, 3B, 4B and 5B, are hooked to the pallet 6. The retaining tabs 20 are also connected to a fold line 21 on their broad side facing the respective side walls 2 , 3 , 4 and 5 . The remaining 3 sides of the essentially rectangular retaining tab 20 are punched out of the respective folding tab 2B, 3B, 4B and 5B, so that the retaining tab 20 can come to rest in the direction of the pallet 6, protruding downwards, on the edge thereof, whereas the folding tabs like already mentioned above are planned inwards to increase the contact area.

Nach dem Auffalten der Rahmenwandung 1 befinden sich die jeweiligen Verstärkungselemente 7 und 8 noch im Wesentlichen an den zugehörigen Seitenwänden anliegend.After the frame wall 1 has been unfolded, the respective reinforcement elements 7 and 8 are still essentially in contact with the associated side walls.

Wie aus der Figur 5 ersichtlich ist, wird in einem anschließenden Klappvorgang zunächst das Verstärkungselement 8 aus seiner an den Seitenwänden 5 und 4 anliegenden Position abgehoben und zum Innenraum der Rahmenwandung 1 ausgeklappt. Die an dem Verstärkungselement 8 befindlichen Knicklinien 14, 15, 16 und 17 gewährleisten dabei, dass sich die beiden Teilbereiche 22 und 23 im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig zu den beiden Klebelaschen 19 ausrichten. Es entsteht somit innerhalb des Innenraumes der Rahmenwandung 1 ein abgetrennter, im Wesentlichen rechteckiger, durch die Seitenwände 5 und 4 sowie die Teilbereiche 22 und 23 des Verstärkungselementes 8 abgegrenzter Teilinnenraum.How from the figure 5 As can be seen, in a subsequent folding process, first the reinforcing element 8 is lifted out of its position in contact with the side walls 5 and 4 and folded out towards the interior of the frame wall 1 . The fold lines 14 , 15 , 16 and 17 on the reinforcement element 8 ensure that the two partial areas 22 and 23 are aligned essentially at right angles to the two adhesive tabs 19 . Thus, within the interior of the frame wall 1 , a separate, essentially rectangular partial interior is created, delimited by the side walls 5 and 4 and the partial regions 22 and 23 of the reinforcement element 8 .

Analog des anhand der Figur 5 beschriebenen Ausklappvorgangs für das Verstärkungselement 8 zum Innenraum wird anschließend in einem weiteren Arbeitsgang das Verstärkungselement 7 in den Innenraum der Rahmenwandung 1 ausgeklappt.Analogous to the figure 5 described unfolding process for the reinforcement element 8 to the interior, the reinforcement element 7 is then unfolded in the interior of the frame wall 1 in a further operation.

Es entsteht somit die wie in der Figur 6 dargestellte Form des Sockelelementes, bei der die Verstärkungselemente 7 und 8 jeweils im Bereich ihrer Knicklinien 16 aneinander stoßen. Wie aus der Figur 6 ersichtlich ist, ermöglicht die spezielle Gestaltung der Knicklinie 15 der Verstärkungselemente 7 und 8 eine leichte Stauchung des Teilbereiche 22 der jeweiligen Verstärkungselemente 7 und 8.The result is thus the as in the figure 6 illustrated form of the base element, in which the reinforcing elements 7 and 8 abut each other in the region of their fold lines 16. How from the figure 6 As can be seen, the special design of the buckling line 15 of the reinforcement elements 7 and 8 allows a slight compression of the partial areas 22 of the respective reinforcement elements 7 and 8.

In einem abschließenden Faltvorgang werden sodann die Umlegelaschen 2A, 3A, 4A und 5A nach innen umgebogen. Aus allen Abbildungen ist ersichtlich, dass die Umlegelaschen 2A, 3A, 4A und 5A des Sockelelementes im Gegensatz zu den Umlegelaschen 2B, 3B, 4B und 5B an der Unterseite des Sockelelementes zweiteilig ausgestaltet sind. Sie besitzen zwischen ihrer Außenkante und ihrer jeweiligen Knicklinie 13 als Verbindung zu den Seitenwänden 2, 3, 4 und 5 eine weitere Knicklinie 24. Die Knicklinie 24 ermöglicht ein Einklappen der äußersten Bereiche der Umlegelaschen 2A, 3A, 4A und 5A nach Einklappen der jeweiligen Umlegelaschen 2A, 3A, 4A und 5A nach unten zum Boden des Sockelelementes. Die bereits früher angesprochene Ausnehmung 18 dient dazu, in Verbindung mit einer in den Teilbereichen 22 der jeweiligen Verstärkungselemente 7 und 8 angeordneten Ausnehmungen 25 einzuhaken und somit eine zwar lösbare, aber gleichwohl feste und stabilisierende Verbindung der Umlegelaschen 2A, 3A, 4A und 5A zu gewährleisten.In a final folding process, the folding flaps 2A, 3A, 4A and 5A are then bent inwards. It can be seen from all of the figures that the folding tabs 2A, 3A, 4A and 5A of the base element are designed in two parts, in contrast to the folding tabs 2B, 3B, 4B and 5B on the underside of the base element. Between their outer edge and their respective fold line 13, they have another fold line 24 as a connection to the side walls 2, 3, 4 and 5. The fold line 24 enables the outermost areas of the folding flaps 2A, 3A, 4A and 5A to be folded in after the respective folding flaps have been folded in 2A, 3A, 4A and 5A down to the bottom of the base member. The previously mentioned recess 18 serves to hook into a recess 25 arranged in the partial areas 22 of the respective reinforcement elements 7 and 8 and thus to ensure a detachable, but nevertheless firm and stabilizing connection of the folding straps 2A, 3A, 4A and 5A .

Wie aus der Gesamtschau der Abbildungen ersichtlich wird, ist sowohl die Herstellung mit lediglich Stanzvorgängen und Klebevorgängen als auch der anschließende Auffaltvorgang hin zur Nutzstellung des Sockelelementes problemlos und kostengünstig realisierbar.As can be seen from the overall view of the figures, both the production with only punching and gluing processes and the subsequent unfolding process to the use position of the base element can be implemented easily and inexpensively.

Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Konstruktion ist darüber hinaus, dass, sofern im Einsatz die Sockelelemente noch weiterverwendbar sein sollten, diese problemlos durch Auffalten der Umlegelaschen 2A, 3A, 4A und 5A und dem Anlegen der Verstärkungselemente 7 und 8 an die jeweiligen Seitenwände problemlos in die ursprüngliche Transportstellung des Sockelelementes wieder zurückgeführt werden kann. Dieses ist im Sinne der Nachhaltigkeit unzweifelhaft von Vorteil.Another advantage of the construction according to the invention is that, if the base elements should still be usable in use, they can easily be removed by unfolding the folding flaps 2A, 3A, 4A and 5A and applying the Reinforcing elements 7 and 8 can be easily returned to the respective side walls in the original transport position of the base element. This is undoubtedly an advantage in terms of sustainability.
