Description

The invention relates to a folding box made from a one-piece blank made of cardboard or another foldable flat material, in particular for receiving items for quick consumption.

The hooded box according to the invention is particularly suitable for holding burgers, chicken nuggets, french fries or popcorn.

the DE 92 03 448 U1 describes a two-shell container made of a one-piece blank of foldable flat material, which comprises a bottom shell with a bottom wall and bottom side walls and a top shell with a top wall and top side walls, the bottom shell and the top shell being hinged to one another via a folding line between a bottom side wall and a top side wall. The bottom shell and the cover shell can be locked to one another by locking means, which are formed by lateral bottom locking projections on the bottom side wall opposite the folding line and by lateral lid locking projections on the adjacent edges of two cover side walls. Adjacent bottom side walls and adjacent cover side walls are connected to one another via connecting straps which are connected to one of the adjacent side walls via a fold line and are glued to the other of the adjacent side walls. The bottom side walls are inclined slightly outward with respect to the bottom wall and the lid side walls are inclined slightly outward with respect to the top wall, so that the bottom shell and the top shell are each somewhat widened towards their opening. At the folding box manufacturer, the cardboard for the production of the two-shell container is printed, the blanks are punched out and grooved from the cardboard, the bottom side walls and lid side walls are erected and glued to the connecting straps and the two-shell containers prepared in this way are stacked one inside the other. They arrive at the in the form of stacks Fast food restaurants, food stalls, food trucks and other fast food outlets. After filling with burgers or other items for quick consumption, the lid and base are simply locked together by flipping them shut and the filled container is dispensed. The high space requirement of the stacked two-shell containers is a disadvantage. This is based on the air gaps between the nested shells, without which the individual shells would be very difficult to remove from the stack. In the sales outlets for items for quick consumption, however, there is usually only little storage space available.

On this basis, the invention is based on the object of providing a folding box for receiving items for quick consumption, which requires less space for storage and which can be easily prepared in the sales outlets for the delivery of items for quick consumption.

The object is achieved by a folding box with the features of claim 1. Advantageous types of embodiment of the folding box are specified in the subclaims.

The folding box according to the invention made of a one-piece blank made of cardboard or another foldable flat material, in particular for holding objects for quick consumption, comprises:

• a lower front wall part with a lower locking element,
• a bottom wall connected to the lower front wall part via a lower front fold line,
• lower side wall parts connected to the bottom wall via lower lateral folding lines,
• a rear wall connected to the bottom wall via a lower rear fold line,
• a top panel connected to the rear panel via an upper rear fold line,
• Upper side wall parts connected to the top wall via upper lateral folding lines,
• rear tuck-in flaps connected to the rear wall via folding lines at the sides,
• lower rear delta flaps connected via lower rear lateral fold lines to the rear edges of lower side wall parts and the lower edges of the rear tuck flaps,
• upper rear delta flaps connected to the rear edges of the upper side wall parts and the upper edges of the folding flaps via upper rear lateral fold lines,
• an upper front wall part with an upper locking element connected to the cover wall via a front fold line,
• wherein the folding box by erecting the lower side wall parts, folding the flaps inward, erecting the rear wall, erecting the upper side wall parts, folding the top wall in a parallel orientation over the bottom wall, folding the lower front wall part and the upper front wall part against each other and locking the lower and upper locking elements is erectable with each other.

The folding box according to the invention has tuck-in flaps and delta flaps (triangular flaps) for connecting the bottom side walls and the lid side walls instead of the connecting flaps glued to the side walls. As a result, the folding box can be erected without sticking. The erected folding box is held in the erected position by inwardly folded tuck flaps, the delta flaps and the interlocking locking elements. This makes it possible to store the flat blanks stacked on top of one another. The space required for the blanks stacked flat on top of one another is significantly less than the space required for the two-shell containers stacked one inside the other, since no air gaps are required in order to be able to easily remove the blanks from the stack. The two-shell containers stacked on top of one another require more space than the flat blanks stacked on top of one another. The invention therefore significantly reduces the space required for storing the folding box and still achieves a folding box that is easy to handle in the sales outlets up to the point of delivery. In addition, the invention enables folding boxes to be stacked in a space-saving manner in the flat state, which in the erected state can be stored in a cuboid shape and thus filled in a space-saving manner. In the conventional two-shell container, this is not possible due to the outwardly inclined bottom side walls and lid side walls. When erecting the folding box, the steps in the last point of claim 1 can be carried out in the specified order or in a different order. It is also possible to carry out several of the specified steps at the same time.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, there are no tuck-in flaps and delta flaps between the lower front wall part and the lower side wall parts and between the upper front wall part and the upper side wall parts. In this embodiment, the entire folding box is held by the locking of the locking elements together in the erected position and the lower side wall parts and the The upper side wall parts are fixed in the upright position by the folded-in rear tuck-in flaps and the rear delta flaps. The invention also includes embodiments in which the lower front wall part and the lower side wall parts are connected to one another at the side edges via lower front tuck-in flaps and lower front delta flaps and / or in which the upper front wall parts and the upper side wall parts are connected to the side edges via upper ones front tuck-in flaps and upper front delta flaps are connected to one another. This realizes a two-shell container with a bottom shell that is completely closed on the edge and / or a lid shell that is completely closed on the edge. In this way, for example, the escape of liquid can be prevented. The folding box formed in this way is held in the erected position by the interlocking locking elements.

According to a further embodiment, the lower front fold line, the lower rear fold line, the upper rear fold line and the upper front fold line are arranged parallel to one another. In this way, a folding box with a flat bottom wall and a flat top wall can be realized, which is advantageous for stacking filled folding boxes on top of one another. In particular, the folding box can be designed in the shape of a cuboid as a whole.

According to a further embodiment, the lower front fold line and the lower rear fold line are each curved inward and the upper rear fold line and the upper front fold line are each curved inward. This enables a folding box which can be stored in a space-saving manner when the blank is lying flat and, when the blank is erected, a bottom wall bent down and a top wall bent upwards having. As a result, burgers and other items for quick consumption that have a spherical shape at the top and bottom can be packaged in a material-saving manner.

According to a further embodiment, the lower side wall parts are higher than the upper side wall parts and the lower side wall parts are laterally overlapped at least in sections by the upper side wall parts. This achieves a lateral sealing of the erected folding box, which prevents contamination from penetrating the sides. According to a further embodiment, the lower side wall parts are as high as the rear wall. This ensures that the top wall of the erected folding box can be supported on the upper edges of the lower side wall parts. This stabilizes the carton in the erected position. This is advantageous for picking up and stacking filled folding boxes.

According to a further embodiment, the lower side wall parts have rearwardly directed lower bevels on the upper edge. The rearwardly directed lower bevels promote the lateral deflection of the upper rear delta tabs and / or the upper side wall parts on the outer sides of the lower side wall parts when erecting, so that the lower side wall parts are overlapped by the upper side wall parts in the erected state. The rearward lower bevels can be straight or curved.

According to a further embodiment, the lower side wall parts on the upper edge between the ends have rearwardly and / or forwardly directed lower bevels and the upper side wall parts on the lower edge between the ends have forwardly and / or rearwardly directed upper bevels. When erecting the folding box, the lower side wall parts and the upper Side wall parts are interlaced with one another and supported on one another by interlocking the lower bevels and the upper bevels. The interlaced bevels of the lower and upper side wall parts are oriented in different directions, ie one of the two bevels is directed to the rear and the other of the two bevels is directed to the front. According to a further embodiment, the lower bevels are oriented in different directions and the upper bevels are also oriented in different directions. According to a further embodiment, the lower bevels are formed next to a lower corner on the upper edge of the lower side wall part and the upper bevels are formed next to a lower corner on the lower edge of the lower side wall part. The upper side wall parts and the lower side wall parts can be interlocked with one another until the lower corners and the upper corners abut each other, so that the lower corners and the upper corners define a stable end position for the interlocking of the lower side wall parts and the upper side wall part with one another. According to a further embodiment, the lower bevels and the upper bevels are straight or curved.

According to a further embodiment, the upper front wall part is higher than the lower front wall part and, in the erected state, the lower front wall part rests against the outside of the upper front wall part. This makes it easier to lock the folding box. According to a further embodiment, the upper front wall part is as high as the rear wall, so that the folding box is stabilized in the erected state by supporting the lower edge of the upper front wall part on the bottom wall.

According to another embodiment, the lower front wall part is higher than the upper front wall part and lies in the erected state of the folding box upper front wall part on the outside of the lower front wall part. This achieves better sealing of the folding box against the ingress of contaminants from above. According to a further embodiment, the lower front wall part is as high as the rear wall, so that the top wall can be supported on the upper edge of the lower front wall part in the erected folding box. This stabilizes the erected folding box.

According to a further embodiment, the lower locking elements and the upper locking elements have a pivotable locking tongue on the lower front wall part and a locking slot designed to receive the locking tongue on the upper front wall part. According to another embodiment, the lower locking elements and the upper locking elements have a pivotable locking tongue on the upper front wall part and a locking slot designed to receive the locking tongue on the lower front wall part. This achieves a particularly simple and effective locking of the front wall parts with one another.

According to a further embodiment, the lower front wall part is connected at the upper edge via a middle fold line to a locking tab which, in an interruption of the central fold line, is connected to a locking tongue punched out of the lower front wall part, which can be inserted into the locking slot of the upper front wall part by pivoting the locking tab is. According to another embodiment, the upper front wall part is connected at the lower edge via a middle fold line to a locking tab, which is connected in an interruption of the middle fold line to a locking tongue punched out of the upper front wall part, which can be inserted into the locking slot of the lower front wall part by pivoting the locking tab is. These two Variants enable particularly simple locking and particularly simple opening of the folding box.

In the present application, the terms "above" and "below", "horizontal" and "vertical" and terms derived therefrom such as "above" and "below" and "above" and "below" relate to an orientation of the fully erected folding box with the bottom wall on a horizontal surface and the top wall above the bottom wall. The information "front" and "rear" and "side" are selected from the point of view of an upright posture of an observer looking at the front wall parts of the fully erect folding box with the bottom wall resting on a horizontal surface.
