Definitions

  • the subject of the invention described below is a sales and storage pack of the blister card type.
  • button cells inevitably make the packaging of this mass-produced item an important factor. On the one hand, it must be economical, but on the other hand it must also have an attractive appearance in order to encourage buying interest. Sales and supply packs of the blister card type are particularly common.
  • a packaging for button cells which includes a surface which has two-dimensional graphics.
  • One or more batteries are arranged on the surface, protruding from the surface and positioned such that they complement the two-dimensional graphics to form a three-dimensional image.
  • a sales and storage pack for button cells of the blister card type is known, in which the packaging consists partly of a tear-resistant, preferably transparent film made of PVC or polyvinylidene chloride with cup-shaped shapes for holding the button cells and partly of a smooth surface sealed onto them Closing film is made of aluminum. To remove a button cell, you just need to push it through the easily tearable aluminum foil from the outside.
  • the invention proposes the sales and storage pack of the blister card type with the features of claim 1. Further developments of the invention are the subject of subclaims.
  • the carrier is usually a cardboard blank.
  • the carrier could easily also consist of other materials, for example plastic, or include such materials.
  • at least one side of the cardboard blank is printed in color and serves as a support surface for the plastic molding.
  • the plastic molding can basically consist of any thermoformable plastic. In preferred embodiments it consists of a transparent plastic. It particularly preferably consists, for example, of polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
  • PVC polyvinyl chloride
  • the flat base surface of the plastic molding is laminated and/or glued onto the carrier, in particular the colored printed support surface.
  • the recess preferably has a flat floor and a circumferential wall which connects the floor to the flat base surface.
  • the floor in the area of the central space is preferably aligned parallel to the flat base surface and therefore also parallel to the support. The distance between the floor and the beam defines the height of the central space.
  • the central space is adapted to the shape and dimensions of the cylindrical button cell inserted therein. It preferably has a diameter that exceeds the diameter of the button cell by a factor of 1.05 to 1.3. In further preferred embodiments, the central space has a height which exceeds the height of the button cell by a factor of 1.01 to 1.2.
  • the recess and thus also the receptacle would be strictly circular-cylindrical.
  • the presence of the side space ensures a deviation from a strictly circular cylindrical geometry.
  • the shape of the side space is not essential; the bulge can, for example, be curved or have one corner or several corners.
  • the only important thing is that the side space is designed in such a way that it cannot be filled by the button cell. The side room needs to do this include at least a partial area into which the button cell, even if it should have limited mobility within the recess, cannot penetrate, at least not without destroying or deforming the recess.
  • the side space has a lower height than the central space, in particular a lower height than the button cell located in the central space. This can make paper cutting easier. This is also the easiest way to effectively prevent the button cell from entering the side space.
  • the sales and storage pack according to the invention particularly preferably comprises two to eight of these receptacles for a cylindrical button cell.
  • the paper cut marking enables precise opening of individual recordings of the sales and storage pack according to the invention.
  • the reinforcing film is, for example, a film made of polyethylene terephthalate, a polyolefin or a PVC film.
  • the film preferably has a thickness in the range from 5 ⁇ m to 50 ⁇ m.
  • the reinforcement film allows the carrier to be made tear-resistant. Since the plastic molded part is usually designed to be tear-resistant, it can be ensured that opening the package without tools can be ruled out. In particular, the reinforcing film can prevent a small child from pushing a button cell contained in the holder through the carrier and thus removing it.
  • the carrier comprises a cardboard blank which is covered over the entire surface or only in certain areas with the reinforcing film.
  • the reinforcing film can only be applied to the side of the cardboard blank that serves as a support surface for the plastic molding. However, it can additionally or alternatively also be applied to the back of the cardboard blank and/or shield the edges of the cardboard blank.
  • the carrier is free of perforations, folds or other structural elements that could weaken it mechanically in the area in which the plastic molded part is fixed to the carrier with its flat base surface.
  • the button cell contained in the holder is preferably a lithium button cell. Button cells of this type pose a relatively high risk if swallowed.
  • Fig. 1 shows schematically an embodiment of a sales and storage pack according to the invention of the blister card type (top view vertically from above) for two lithium button cells.
  • Other embodiments of the sales and supply pack can contain more than two button cells or even just one button cell.
  • the sales and storage pack 100 shown comprises a rectangular carrier 101 based on cardboard and a transparent plastic molding 102 made of PVC.
  • a hanging eyelet 103 is stamped into the carrier 101.
  • the plastic molding 102 comprises a flat base surface 104, into which two depressions 105 and 106 were made by deep drawing. Since the flat base surface 104 is glued to the carrier 101, the depressions 105 and 105 extend vertically upward towards the viewer in the illustration.
  • the part of the carrier 101 that is in contact with the flat base surface 104 is reinforced with the reinforcing film 107 made of PVC.
  • the button cells 110 and 111 are housed in these in a child-safe manner.
  • the receptacles 108 and 109 are each divided into a central space 112, 113 with a circular cylindrical basic shape, into which the button cells 110, 111 are inserted, and a side space 114, 115 designed as a bulge in the central space.
  • the side spaces 114 and 115 have a lower height than the button cells 110 and 111. The button cells 110 and 111 cannot therefore penetrate into the side spaces 114, 115.
  • the paper cut markings 116 and 117 can be found on the carrier 101, which lead through the side spaces 114 and 115.
