State of the art

The invention relates to a brush product packaging device, a system comprising a brush product packaging device and one in which

Brush product packaging device accommodated brush product and a tray package to accommodate at least two

Brush product packaging devices.

Tray packaging for receiving brush product packaging devices is already known from EP 1 371 567 A2, GB 251 1728 A and WO 2018/149918 A1.

Furthermore, brush product packaging devices for receiving a brush product, in particular a toothbrush, with an application head and with a handle, with at least one basic packaging body, are known.

The object of the invention is in particular to provide a device of the generic type with improved properties in terms of manufacturability, protection of the brush product and in terms of ecology. The object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1, while advantageous configurations and developments of the invention can be found in the subclaims. Advantages of the invention

The invention proposes a brush product packaging device for receiving a brush product, in particular a toothbrush, with an application head and with a handle, with at least one packaging base body which is intended to have an at least substantially closed receiving area for the

Form brush product, and at least to a large extent from one

Paper material consists. The brush product has in particular an application head with a carrier and a brush field attached thereto, a handle for holding the brush product and a neck for connecting the handle to the

Application header.

In this context, a “brush product packaging device” is to be understood in particular as an at least substantially closed device which is provided to accommodate a brush product for sale. In particular, the device serves as a sales package for a brush product. The brush product packaging device is preferably provided in particular for lying and / or standing and / or hanging sale. In particular, the brush product packaging device preferably also has a euro-hole recess for hanging up the brush product packaging device. The brush product packaging device is in particular formed from primary packaging than from actual product packaging. In particular, secondary packaging, which form an outer box in which several

Primary packaging is collected. The secondary packaging protects the primary packaging and forms a transport unit. The

Brush product packaging apparatus is particularly intended to provide the

Brush products, in particular toothbrushes, to be picked up and / or held transversely, that is to say with a bristle field directed at right angles to the viewing direction.

In this way, tight packing in a secondary packaging can be achieved in particular. In particular, a head of the brush product is at the top of the brush product packaging apparatus.

A “brush product” is to be understood as meaning in particular an oral hygiene brush and / or a cosmetic brush and / or a hairbrush and / or a household brush will. For example, manual toothbrushes such as

Reusable toothbrushes, interchangeable toothbrushes, disposable toothbrushes or single tuft brushes, electric toothbrushes as well as hybrid toothbrushes, interdental cleaners, especially with twisted bristles, in sprayed form or as flossers (dental floss applied to a sheet), tongue cleaners and / or dental floss are conceivable. Cosmetic brushes are, for example, mascara brushes, nail polish brushes, face brushes, applicators, in particular also hair coloring applicators, massage devices, make-up brushes, make-up sponges, shaving brushes and / or wet razors or others

Body care products conceivable. As household brushes are for example

Dish brushes, floor wipers and / or brooms are conceivable. That is advantageous

Brush product designed as a toothbrush, in particular a manual toothbrush, preferably a children's toothbrush, advantageously a purely manual or a partially electric or hybrid toothbrush, for example with a vibration function or the like. The brushing product can also be an electric toothbrush (rechargeable with battery operation or with replaceable single-use batteries). The brushing product can be a disposable toothbrush, a reusable toothbrush or a

Be replaceable toothbrush. The brush product has in particular a longitudinal axis which is advantageously arranged at least substantially parallel to a main direction of extent of the brush product. The longitudinal axis preferably runs at least in sections within the brush product and in particular through it

Main emphasis. In particular, the longitudinal axis of the brush product is a central axis of the brush product and / or a central axis of the handle unit. A toothbrush preferably consists of a head part with bristles, a neck part and a handle part. All sub-elements can consist of at least one hard and / or one or more soft components. A “central axis” of an object is to be understood in particular as an imaginary axis that runs within the object parallel to a main direction of extent of the object and intersects the object at at most two points. “At least essentially parallel” should be understood here to mean in particular an alignment of a direction relative to a reference direction, in particular in a plane, the direction having a deviation from the reference direction, in particular less than 8 °, advantageously less than 5 ° and particularly advantageously less than 2 °. A “main direction of extent” of an object is to be understood in particular as a direction which is parallel runs to a longest edge of a smallest imaginary cuboid, which just completely encloses the object.

In particular, the brush product has a length, in particular parallel to the longitudinal axis of the brush product, of at least 110 mm, advantageously of at least 130 mm and particularly advantageously of at least 150 mm and / or of at most 250 mm, advantageously of at most 240 mm and particularly advantageously of at most 230 mm, although other, in particular smaller or larger, lengths are of course also conceivable. In particular, the brush product has a width, in particular parallel to a width axis of the brush product, advantageously perpendicular to the

Longitudinal axis and / or parallel to a main extension plane of the brush product and / or the handle unit and the longitudinal axis of the bristles, of at least 10 mm, advantageously of at least 12 mm and particularly advantageously of at least 15 mm and / or of at most 30 mm, advantageously of at most 26 mm and especially advantageously of a maximum of 23 mm. In particular, the brush product has a height, in particular measured parallel to a height axis or the longitudinal axis of the bristles

Brush product, advantageously measured perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the brush product and / or perpendicular to the main extension plane of the brush product of at least 15 mm, advantageously of at least 20 mm and particularly advantageously of at least 23 mm and / or of at most 40 mm, advantageously of at most 35 mm and particularly advantageous of a maximum of 31 mm.

The term “height” refers in particular to a state of the

Brush product in which this is deposited, for example on a surface such as a table top, a wash basin, a furniture top or the like, in particular in such a way that the longitudinal axis is arranged parallel to the surface.

A “main plane of extent” of an object is to be understood in particular as a plane which is parallel to a largest side surface of a smallest imaginary cuboid, which just completely surrounds the object, and in particular runs through the center of the cuboid.

The application head advantageously has at least one cleaning area which is provided for a tooth cleaning application, in particular in an oral cavity of the user. The cleaning area preferably comprises at least one

Cleaning element, in particular at least one brush head, advantageously one Toothbrush head, preferably with several bristles and / or bristle bundles. The cleaning element can, however, also be designed as an interdental brush and / or as a single tuft (e.g. single large bundle of bristles) and / or as a sheet covered with dental floss, in particular as a flosser and / or as a dental floss roll, or the like. Furthermore, the application head advantageously has at least one fial element, which is preferably connected to the cleaning element, in particular directly and / or in one piece. “In one piece” is to be understood in particular to be at least cohesively connected, for example by a welding process, an adhesive process, an injection molding process and / or another process that appears sensible to a person skilled in the art, and / or advantageously formed in one piece, for example by a hinged position a casting and / or a Fierstellung in a single or multi-component injection molding process and advantageously from a single blank. “Provided” is to be understood in particular as specifically designed and / or equipped. The fact that an object is provided for a specific function should be understood in particular to mean that the object fulfills and / or executes this specific function in at least one application and / or operating state.

The brush product has in particular a front side and a rear side, which are arranged in particular facing away from each other. Preferably the

Cleaning area located on the front of the brush product. The front side is in particular a side of the brush product that is visible in a viewing direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the brush product and perpendicular to the width axis of the brush product. The rear side advantageously corresponds to one in this

opposite viewing direction visible side of the brush product. Furthermore, the brush product has, in particular, an underside on which, for example, the suction cup is advantageously arranged. In addition, the brush product has in particular an upper side, advantageously arranged opposite the lower side, in the area of which the bristle field is attached, for example.

The handle unit preferably has at least one handle element which is advantageously provided for holding with one hand. The handle element is preferred

in particular multiple, waisted. This advantageously allows a secure hold and optimizes ergonomics. The grip element is particularly preferably elongated formed, wherein advantageously a longitudinal axis of the grip element corresponds to the longitudinal axis of the brush product. The grip element is advantageously partially made of a

Soft component and partially formed from a hard component. In particular, the grip element advantageously comprises at least one thumb grip area and / or at least one handle area. The thumb grip area on the is advantageous

Front of the brush product and in particular on a front of the

Arranged handle element. It is conceivable that the thumb grip area and / or the handle area have at least one element and / or a surface structure made of a soft component.

In this context, a “basic packaging body” should be understood to mean, in particular, a basic body of the brush product packaging device which in particular contains at least a large part of a material volume

Brush product packaging device. In particular, the

Packaging base body at least 50%, preferably at least 70% and particularly preferably at least 90% of a material volume of the

Brush product packaging device. Preferably the limited

Packaging base body the receiving area for the brush product. In particular, the packaging body completely forms a material delimitation of the

Recording area. Furthermore, in this context, an “at least essentially closed receiving area” should in particular include

Packaging volume of the brush product packaging device are understood to be at least 80%, preferably at least 90%, preferably at least 95% and particularly preferably at least 99% materially through the

Packaging body is limited. The basic packaging body preferably serves to avoid direct contact with or contamination of a brush product received in the receiving area from outside the packaging, with production-related folding gaps and / or perforations which make it difficult to completely seal the basic packaging body.

“At least to a large extent” is to be understood in particular to mean that at least one main component of a material of the packaging base body is a fiber and / or paper material. Preferably at least 50% by weight (percent by weight), preferably at least 70% by weight and particularly preferably at least 90% by weight of the Packaging base body made from a paper material. The basic packaging body particularly preferably consists entirely of a paper material. Furthermore, in this context, a “paper material” is to be understood in particular as a flat material which essentially consists of fibers of organic and / or vegetable origin. The material is preferably made from cellulose, wood pulp and / or waste paper. The material can be single-layer or multi-layer. Multi-layer paper material consists of several layers of paper of different thicknesses and / or at least partially of different materials. The layers can be produced by gluing or pressing together, in particular without the use of glue. The grammage of the paper material is in particular between 50 g / m ² and 1000 g / m ² , preferably between 150 g / m ² and 600 g / m ² .

The paper material preferably consists of fresh fiber and / or secondary fiber. The fresh fiber or primary fiber is made from new material such as FSC wood. The secondary fiber is formed in particular from a recycled paper or cardboard. Alternatively or in addition, other fillers such as other organic fibers, e.g. Grass for grass paper, conceivable. The paper material preferably has a recycled content of at least 80%, it being possible for the paper material to contain a proportion of primary fibers. By using new material, the properties of the paper material can be kept within a narrow range. Various paper materials that appear sensible to a person skilled in the art are conceivable for the basic packaging body. In particular, the basic packaging body consists of solid cardboard, in particular a packaging cardboard. Next is also one

Execution in corrugated cardboard conceivable, in particular in corrugated cardboard with a low height. Furthermore, different surfaces for the paper material are conceivable. The paper material can in particular be coated, that is to say coated, as well as uncoated, that is

uncoated. In addition, it is conceivable that the paper material is structured, for example by a 3D contour. Structuring can in particular improve the grip of the brush product packaging device. In particular, the structuring can be implemented both in the paper material itself, for example by means of surface processing and / or embossing, and in printing.

The paper material can, for example, have a print on water-based paints, which are ecological compared to conventional paints. The paper material can be refined. Under a "refinement" one should

Surface treatment of the paper material can be understood, which leads, for example, to the paper material achieving a higher quality impression. The

Refinement can be applied / implemented partially in one or more places or over the whole area. The refinement can be used, for example, to create metallic effects, visual distinctions or even product labels. The corresponding coating can also reduce or reduce

Avoidance of the water absorption of the paper material can be achieved. The paper material can thus also be suitable for multiple uses. Finishing can

for example a lacquer finish, for example UV high-gloss lacquer, structured lacquer, soft-touch lacquer or glitter lacquer can be used. Foil lamination and / or hot foil stamping can be used to connect several layers, for example cardboard with a foil. Matt films, gloss films or structured films can be used. This makes the surfaces particularly durable. Embossing / embossing foil printing can be used, in particular plan or structure embossing is possible. Lamination or sealing can also be used for finishing.

The paper material as well as other parts of the packaging, such as a separate holding means made of plastic, can also be scented so that the packaging is provided with a scent which is then released in particular when it is opened. Furthermore, corresponding parts can also be provided with an antibacterial agent, which allows the packaging to become more hygienic overall and in particular to provide certain product-contacting packaging elements, for example in the area of the application head, with it.

“Provided” is to be understood in particular as specifically programmed, designed and / or equipped. The fact that an object is provided for a specific function should be understood in particular to mean that the object fulfills and / or executes this specific function in at least one application and / or operating state.

The configuration of the brush product packaging device according to the invention makes it possible, in particular, to provide packaging that is advantageously simple and inexpensive to manufacture. In particular, it can be advantageously flexibly manufactured and printable brush product packaging apparatus can be provided. Furthermore, an advantageously high level of protection of a brush product that has been picked up can be achieved. In particular, an advantageous stable brush product packaging apparatus can be provided. Furthermore, an advantageously high ecology of the

Brush product packaging device can be achieved. A high level of ecology can be achieved in particular through the use of recycled paper material. Furthermore, a brush product packaging device can be made from renewable materials

to be provided.

It is further proposed that the brush product packaging device has at least one holding unit which at least partially protrudes into the receiving area and is provided to hold the brush product, in particular on the handle or a neck, at least partially in position relative to the receiving area and which is at least partially Most of it consists of a paper material. The holding unit can preferably be formed both by a separate unit, such as, for example, by at least one insert, and also be formed in one piece with the basic packaging body. In particular, the holding unit can also be formed merely by a shaping of the packaging base body. In particular, it would be conceivable that the holding unit is realized by shaping the basic packaging body. Furthermore, the holding unit can preferably have a universal shape and can therefore be used for various brush products or, alternatively, have an individual shape and thus be adapted to a special bristle product and a special packaging base body. In this context, a “holding unit” is to be understood in particular as a unit which is provided for at least partially fixing the brush product in the receiving area of the brush product packaging device. The holding unit can have a certain preload on the brush product. This bias is preferably applied to the handle and / or neck, the brush head or the bristles preferably remaining without a bias. The pre-tension applied is sufficient to hold the brush product in position during transport. For this purpose, pretensioning forces of less than 100 g, preferably less than 50 g, particularly preferably less than 20 g, are usually sufficient. Brush products mostly consist of hard ones

Plastics, soft plastics and bristles. In order to offer maximum protection, any preload is preferably applied essentially to the hard plastic of the handle and less preferably also to the soft plastic of the handle, but not on the bristles or the bristle field. A fixation can in particular by receiving part of the brush product in a holding recess of the holding unit and / or by clamping the brush product in the

Receiving area for example opposite the inside of the

Packaging body can be achieved. The holding unit is preferably provided to reduce a play of movement of the brush product in the receiving area in relation to the absence of the holding unit. In particular, the holding unit is provided to reduce damage and / or deformation of the bristles of an application head of the brush product due to a movement of the brush product within the receiving area. In particular, by means of the

Holding element, a rattling noise can be avoided by a movement of the brush product in the brush product packaging device, in particular when shaking or when transporting the brush product packaging device. Furthermore, a protective function can be achieved. In particular, product parts like the

Brush head or the brush field are protected by the brush so

supported / held so that the bristles are not stressed. Furthermore, deformable product parts made of soft plastic material such as suction cups, tongue cleaners, grip elements can also be protected from deformation. In this way, in particular, the brush product can be reliably secured in the

Brush product packaging device can be achieved. In particular, damage to the brush product during transport can be avoided.

In particular, there are different ones that appear useful to a person skilled in the art

Holding units conceivable. In particular, it would be conceivable that the holding unit is combined with a tear tab of a perforation strip, so that the holding unit is removed when the product is torn and thereby a jamming or the preload is released during opening. It would also be conceivable that the holding unit has at least one element that is located in the receiving area of the

Brush product packaging device arises when erecting the packaging body. A corresponding element can for example be glued in and protrude into the receiving area as an extension. In particular, a tightness with regard to dust of the packaging base body would not be affected, with cardboard being additionally required. A corresponding element can in particular be fastened via an edge, the element being fastened on two sides and grooves and / or perforations are provided in between. When the sides are set up in relation to one another, the element stands up and a clamping element is formed. Alternatively or additionally, it would be conceivable that the holding unit has a double adhesive, in particular a double-sided adhesive tape, which is attached, for example, to a base of the packaging base body, so that the brush product is fixed by the adhesive strip. The adhesive strip is designed in such a way that it is well anchored to the brush product packaging device, but the brush product can be detached therefrom with little effort and then no residue is left on the brush product. The brush product can be detached by simply lifting it off the adhesive strip, with the possibility of movement being restricted. Depending on the filling of the brush product packaging device, however, it may be more difficult to introduce the double adhesive and / or the brush product, in particular when filling from an underside or an upper side. Alternatively or additionally, it would be conceivable that the holding unit has an additional part that is adapted to the product shape as a holding means, which is inserted beforehand into the basic packaging body and / or is produced with it and / or is introduced together with the brush product. In the case of filling from an underside or an upper side, it would be particularly conceivable that the additional part is brought together with the brush product before being introduced into the basic packaging body and this combined unit is introduced together into the basic packaging body or into the receiving area. The additional part has, in particular, a precisely fitting shape. Furthermore, the additional part can be glued and / or sealed in the packaging base body or clamped without fixed fixing or anchoring or not fixed. In particular, the additional part can also be designed as a shaped blister or shaped deep-drawn part, this preferably being made from plastic film and preferably made from a sustainable plastic, i.e. in particular recycling material or a renewable raw material as the basis.

Furthermore, the design of a holding unit is possible, which along the main direction of extent of the brush product packaging device or the

Packaging body is introduced into the appropriately designed brush product packaging device. This can be done, for example, in the design of the

Brush product packaging device can be used as a cuboid casing. The holding unit is preferably designed so that it has one, two or even more Has designed fixing areas which fix the brush products or other co-packaged parts. In this case, the fixing areas can have different shapes, each matched to the brush product to be fixed. In one

Brush product packaging device, for example, different brush products are packaged, for example an interchangeable toothbrush with an attached

Interchangeable head and one or more other interchangeable heads in parallel. The holding unit is designed in such a way that, when it is equipped, it fits perfectly into the case. For this purpose, the outer contour in the prepared state is designed to match the inner volume of the casing so that the holding unit does not shift in this X-Y plane. For positioning the fleas in the Z-plane, lateral tabs can be formed on the holding unit, which fix the unit of brush product and holding unit together with the possibly protruding brush product in the corresponding direction.

The side tabs are formed on at least two opposite sides. The tabs are preferably formed on the sides with the longest extensions, i.e. on the sides that are parallel to the main direction of extent. The tabs on the other sides can also be shaped so that a total of preferably between 2 and 4 tabs are formed, which are formed over the entire length of the holding unit. For optimal fixation of the

Holding unit, it is also possible to align two tabs to the front and two tabs to the rear of the brush packaging device so that the holding unit is optimally fixed in all directions.

It is also possible to design the flaps at least partially over the creasing of the fold, so that a partial flap is formed on both sides of the creasing. As a result, the holding unit can be fixed in the vertical direction.

The flaps can of course also be subdivided so that more or less flaps are formed on each side. This can be used, for example, to release corresponding counter geometries. For example, the tab can be perpendicular to the

Main direction of extent be divided into two parts, for example, if a re-entrant element is designed in the cover, which is in the way of the tab. Or a tab can be excluded so that the corresponding brush product can be fixed well in the holding unit. Furthermore, for example, fixing areas for Brush products extend to the edge of the holding unit and thus have interrupted tabs.

The cover can for example also be equipped with one or more viewing windows, the holding unit with the fixing area (s) preferably being designed such that at least part of a brush product can be seen through a viewing window.

The larger design of the holding unit in connection with the use of a cover can bring further advantages. The cover can for example be equipped with an opening aid which is designed in such a way that it enables it to be closed again, for example. In this way, in the case of a brush product packaging device with a plurality of brush products introduced therein, for example, the

Holding unit can be pulled out, the required products can be removed and the remaining products can be stored neatly packaged. Furthermore, this product structure can also be used if, for example, only one product is packaged to be used as a travel case.

Furthermore, a holding unit which is designed as described above can also be used for a brush packaging device that is filled from the front and / or the rear. The aforementioned design, including the tabs, can also be implemented as described.

In particular, more complex holding units can be designed which take up larger dimensions and in particular can also hold / accommodate several different products.

A more complex holding unit is designed in such a way that it also has the

Packaging base body forms. For this purpose, the blank is cut to match the contour, grooved, with special functions such as viewing windows and printing

equipped so that both the inside and the outside shape are created when folded accordingly. During production, the packaging is prepared and erected accordingly so that the product can ultimately be pushed into the packaging from above or below. Part of the packaging can in particular be designed as empty space - so that the normalized / standardized packaging size is achieved. This in particular parallel to the main direction of extent of the

Brush product packaging device next to and / or in the brush product Main extension direction at the top adjoining the product, each separated by the corresponding part of the blank. The empty space in the main direction of extent is limited by a part of the blank which is attached to the inner part and by the outer shell. The holding unit can also contain recesses which improve the fixation of the product. For example, product parts that protrude slightly can be held in recesses so that the product is securely held / fixed. Limiting parts can also be created, which also serve to position the product securely.

Another more complex holding unit is designed in such a way that it creates an internal geometry that is later converted into a cuboid, envelope-like

Cardboard box / packaging body is pushed. The packaging base body is cuboid and provided with corresponding openings and tabs that the holding unit along the main direction of extent in the

envelope-like packaging body can be inserted. The holding unit is therefore designed as a blank that is separate from the basic packaging body. The holding unit can contain elements to hold a brush product - which is presented, for example, in a viewing window of the basic packaging body. Furthermore, the holding unit can contain elements to hold accessories or spare parts such as brush heads. The holding unit is already equipped with the products before it is inserted into the basic packaging body.

The inserted holding units can have elements / geometries on the blank which serve to enable it to be pulled out of the envelope.

For example, punchings can be introduced which can be pressed in so that the holding unit can be gripped with the finger.

In principle, the basic packaging bodies in all variants can also be designed in such a way that they can be inserted transversely to the main direction of extent.

The empty space created in each case can be used for product additions and product accessories. For example, power supply units, charging stations, instructions for use, replacement heads, quivers, etc. can be accommodated in the empty space so that they are packaged with the product but still do not appear visually. With both more complex forms of the holding unit, as described above, an identical external appearance of the brush product packaging device can be achieved. The structure of the

The brush product packaging apparatus and of course the contents of the brush product packaging apparatus also differ.

It is further proposed that the at least one holding unit is at least partially formed in one piece with the packaging base body. The at least one holding unit is preferably designed completely in one piece with the packaging base body. In this context, “at least partially in one piece” is to be understood as meaning that at least one component of at least one object and / or at least one first object is formed in one piece with at least one component of at least one further object and / or in one piece with at least one further object. “In one piece” is to be understood as meaning, in particular, at least cohesively connected, for example by a welding process, an adhesive process, an injection molding process and / or another that would be useful to the person skilled in the art

appearing process, and / or advantageously be understood as being formed in one piece, such as, for example, by production from a cast, in particular from a blank and / or by production in one or more parts

Multi-component injection molding process and advantageously from a single blank. As a result, a number of components in particular can be kept low. It can

in particular a simple and quick production of the

Brush product packaging device can be achieved.

It is further proposed that the at least one holding unit has at least one holding means which is formed by an indentation in the basic packaging body. Preferably, the holding means is of a waist in the

Packaging base body, in particular in a hood element of the

Packaging base body, formed. In particular, the brush product is pressed into the intended position or held in the intended position by means of the holding means by means of prestressing. In particular, the brush product is pressed against an inside of the packaging base body by means of the holding means. In principle, it would also be conceivable that several, in particular two or three, corresponding

Holding means are provided, for example, on opposite edges of the Packaging base body and / or are arranged on the same edge of the packaging base body. It would also be conceivable for the indentation to be placed over the rear edge so that the resulting contour protrudes into the side surface and the rear of the basic packaging body. In particular, the at least one holding means is produced by a grooving or formed edge in the basic packaging body. The resulting indentation can also lead to a deformation of the remaining surface so that a rear side is no longer flat, for example. Alternatively or additionally, the at least one holding means can also be designed as a clamping element in the hood element. A corresponding clamping element can in particular be produced, for example, by two cuts across an edge of the basic packaging body, with the corner in particular being turned inward, and thus forming an inwardly protruding step. The holding element is produced in particular by deformation. A corresponding clamping element leads to relatively large openings for the cuts. As a result, reliable securing of the brush product in the brush product packaging device can be achieved in particular. In particular, damage to the brush product during transport can be avoided. In particular, it can be achieved that the

Brush product is also only secured subsequently, in particular after packaging, by deforming the basic packaging body.

It is also proposed that the at least one holding unit have at least one

Has holding means, which consists of existing parts of the

Brush product packaging device is molded. For example

Elements such as dust flaps, sealing edges or adhesive flaps are shaped so that they are partially designed as holding means and so the product in the

Support packing. It is also possible, especially in the case of dust flaps, for their original function to be misused. This means that dust flaps, for example, are no longer used as dust flaps, but rather as holding means, for example by being folded into the receiving area of the basic packaging body. The dust flaps are preferably designed in at least one embodiment as holding means of the holding unit and are provided to hold the brush product, in particular on the handle or a neck, at least partially in position relative to the receiving area. It is further proposed that the at least one holding unit has at least one folding element. The folding element is preferably formed by a separate component different from the basic packaging body. The holding unit can in particular have one or more folding elements. In particular, when there are several brush products in the same receiving area, several folding elements can be useful. However, it is also conceivable that several folding elements are necessary depending on the brush geometry of the brushed product. In the case of several folding elements, the brush product can in particular be inserted once and clamped once or inserted several times and clamped several times. In this context, a “folding element” is to be understood in particular as an element produced by folding a paper material. In particular, the folding element is made from a flat blank in which the folding options, in particular in the form of grooves and / or perforations, are already integrated. The folding element is preferably formed by an insert for the basic packaging body. In particular, the folding element is intended to be arranged in the receiving area of the brush product packaging device. In particular, the folding element is used to fix the

Brush product provided in the receiving area. A fixation can, as already described, in particular both by pretensioning or clamping and holding the brush product between the folding element and the inside of the

Packaging base body, as well as through a recess in the folding element into which the brush product is placed directly, can be achieved. In principle, a combined folding element with a recess and a clamping option would also be conceivable. A “groove” should be understood to mean, in particular, a deformation in a cardboard box produced by means of a forming process. For example

To be able to fold cardboard sheets better, the cardboard box is weakened at the fold beforehand by means of a so-called crease line. Here, in particular, there is a linear one

Substance displacement of the material instead of in order to create better flexibility. In this context, a “perforation” is to be understood as meaning in particular a perforation of hollow bodies or flat objects. In this way, in particular, the brush product can be reliably secured in the

In particular, an optimized fixation of different bristle products can be achieved independently of the packaging base body. It can In particular, different bristle products are packaged in the same basic packaging body.

Furthermore, it is conceivable that, depending on the folding angle of the folding element, different flutes of the folding element can be realized, which of course also brings about differences in the length and width dimensions, which increase due to the smaller fleas with the same component. As a result, different effective sizes of a receptacle can preferably be realized with the same folding element and thus different bristle products with different shapes or geometries can also be fixed. The folding element can be fastened and positioned in various ways that appear sensible to a person skilled in the art. The folding element can only be inserted and positioned, for example, by clamping between the side surfaces. However, this can lead to slipping. Alternatively, the folding element can be fixed, for example by means of gluing, by hooking in, by clamping in recesses and / or cutouts and / or by means of sealing.

The position for fixing the brush product is particularly variable.

In particular, the position is dependent on a geometry of the receiving area and a geometry of the brush product. A preferred position for fixing the brush product is in particular a neck of the brush product. In particular, both reliable fixation and reliable protection of the bristle field can be achieved here.

It is also proposed that the at least one folding element at least one

Forms recess for receiving a neck of a brush product.

In particular, the folding element forms a groove-shaped recess. The recess is preferably made in at least two areas of the folding element. In particular, at least two surfaces of the folding element each have a recess, the recesses being connected to one another on at least one side. The recess can have various shapes. In a folded state of the folding element, the recess is preferably tapered from a free end, which in particular results in better clamping. The recess is particularly preferably trapezoidal or semi-oval-shaped. In particular, the groove has a width of 3 mm to 10 mm, preferably 3 mm to 6 mm, in a lower region. Furthermore, the recess has, in particular, a width at a free, open end from 4 mm to 15 mm, preferably from 5 mm to 10 mm. The depth of the recess, measured on the surface of the folding element, is in particular from 3 mm to 12 mm, preferably from 5 mm to 10 mm. In this way, in particular, advantageously direct securing of the brush product in the brush product packaging device can be achieved. In particular, damage to the brush product during transport can be avoided.

It is further proposed that the at least one folding element has at least one fixing section which is provided to clamp a neck of a brush product against the packaging base body. The fixing section can preferably be provided in addition to a groove, in particular around different brush products with different shapes or geometries with the same

To be able to fix the folding element. In particular, various

Brush products are packaged with the same brush product packaging devices, preferably with different printing. Preferably that has

Folding element has at least three areas, namely a first fastening area in which the folding element is connected to the packaging base body, one

Fixing area, in which the folding element is provided to fix the brush product, and a second fastening area, in which the folding element is connected to the basic packaging body. The fixing region is preferably arranged between the first fastening region and the second fastening region. The fixing area of the folding element preferably forms an elevation. The fixing section is particularly preferably formed from a side contour of the fixing area. In particular, the fixing section, together with a side wall of the packaging base body, forms a constriction in the receiving area in which the brush product can be fixed. In this context, a “fixing section” is to be understood in particular as a contour, in particular an outer contour, of the folding element which is provided for direct contact with the brush product. The contour is preferably provided for clamping or applying a preload of the brush product between the contour and a side wall of the basic packaging body. In this way, in particular, advantageously direct securing of the brush product in the brush product packaging device can be achieved. In particular, damage to the brush product during transport can be avoided. It is also proposed that the at least one folding element is designed to be connected to the basic packaging body. The at least one folding element is preferably designed to be glued into the basic packaging body. The folding element is preferably flat with the at least two fastening areas

Packaging body glued. In particular, the folding element is glued on an inside of the basic packaging body on a base side of a leaf element. In this way, in particular, the folding element can be prevented from slipping. In particular, a targeted positioning of the brush product in the

Recording area can be reached.

It is further proposed that the at least one folding element has an at least approximately circular base area in a state arranged in the packaging base body. Preferably, the folding element is in one in the

Packaging base body arranged state assembled and executed folded.

The at least one folding element preferably has an egg-shaped outer shape in the unfolded state, the outer shape being designed in such a way that it has a circular base area in a folded state. A circular base area has the advantage that the folding element can be arranged in any position in any orientation. Due to the circular shape, the folding element can in particular be positioned as desired, in particular with regard to the angle between a receptacle of the folding element and the longitudinal axis of the brush product. In particular, different fial thicknesses can be covered in relation to the opening. The same applies, in particular, when the brush product is jammed on an outside of the folding element. Alternatively, it would also be conceivable for the folding element to have a shape that approximates a circular shape, such as in particular an n-cornered shape. In this way it could be achieved that when the folding element rests against an edge of an inside of the pack, the folding element can advantageously be positioned. In particular, the circular or approximated geometry of the

Folding element, the folding element can be positioned at any angle to the longitudinal axis. The angle can in particular be adapted to a clamped or inserted brush product depending on the application and can also be different.

Alternatively, it would also be conceivable that the at least one folding element has a rectangular outer shape. In this way, particularly advantageous clamping of the folding element in the receiving area could be achieved. In particular, it would be conceivable that the folding element extends, for example, from one side of the receiving area to the other, so that the folding element is at least partially arranged in a position-stable manner. In particular, this would enable assembly without gluing. However, a rectangular outer shape in particular has less variability with regard to positioning, application, in particular with regard to clamping, and / or an orientation option. In the case of the rectangular outer shape, however, it would be conceivable that the fold for the elevation is oriented at an angle different from 90 ° with respect to the outer shape.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the at least one folding element, when arranged in the packaging base body, has a maximum extension of 10 mm to 50 mm. An unfolded blank of the folding element in particular has a length of 20 mm to 50 mm, preferably 30 mm to 40 mm. Furthermore, the unfolded blank of the folding element in particular has a width of 10 mm to 30 mm, preferably 9 mm to 13 mm. In a folded, assembled state, the folding element has in particular a circular base area. A diameter of the base is in particular from 10 mm to 30 mm, preferably from 9 mm to 13 mm. A flea of the folding element in a folded, assembled state is in particular from 8 mm to 16 mm, preferably from 9 mm to 13 mm. In this way, an advantageous folding element can in particular be provided.

If the folding element takes up a large part of the receiving area, it is proposed that the at least one folding element, when arranged in the packaging base body, has a maximum longitudinal extension of 170 mm to 210 mm and a maximum transverse extension of 35 mm to 55 mm. A fleas of the

Folding element in a folded, assembled state is in particular from 8 mm to 25 mm. In this way, an advantageous folding element can in particular be provided.

It is further proposed that the at least one basic packaging body has a flat card element and a folded hood element applied to the card element, each of which consists at least for the most part of a paper material. The hood element is preferably fixed to the in an assembled state

Map element connected. An extension of the hood element along the main extension direction of the brush product packaging device preferably corresponds at least essentially to an extension of the card element along the Main direction of extent of the brush product packaging device. The card element is in particular on a front side of the

Brush product packaging device arranged and preferably has a euro-hole recess in particular at an upper end. The card element can in particular also be designed as a rear side, so that the hood element forms the front side or the visible side. The card element is preferably designed to be at least substantially rectangular. In principle, the card element can be designed with a contour, but only outside of the seal. Furthermore, the card element is preferably flat. In this way, in particular, a sealing edge can be implemented in one plane. In principle, however, it would also be conceivable that the card is angled or has one or more kinks. For this purpose, the sealing tool must in particular be constructed with several levels so that the sealing surface is angled. Depending on

As a result, a suboptimal stacking can be produced in the configuration, but this also depends on a configuration of the hood element. The hood element is arranged in particular on a rear side of the brush product packaging device. The hood element has in particular the receiving area delimiting

Boundary surfaces as well as sealing edges connected to the boundary surfaces, which are provided for a connection with the card element. The sealing edges are connected to the boundary surfaces in particular via perforations and / or grooves. In the case of perforations, these have in particular a cutting length of 1.5 mm to 7 mm, preferably 2.5 mm to 5.5 mm, and a holding length of 1 mm to 4 mm, preferably 1.5 mm to 3 mm, on. The perforation should in particular be stable so that it does not tear in the event of blows during transport. In the case of creasing, a notch is mechanically made in a material containing paper or cardboard, so that a groove is created, whereby the material can be folded in a defined manner at this point with less effort. Preferably that has

The hood element at the transitions to the sealing edges does not have pure creasing, but only creasing with perforation. In this way, in particular a basic packaging body that can advantageously be produced can be provided. In particular, advantageous equipping of the packaging base body can be achieved. In particular, the brush product can be inserted from a front side.

In particular, a trough formed by the hood element is accessible from above, so that top loading, that is to say filling the hood element from above, is possible. This allows advantageous automation to be achieved. Preferably, a cardboard blister can be provided over several different products of a similar type by means of the brush product packaging device. In particular, it would be conceivable that the hood element on the back is identical for all brush products, while the card element on the front varies, for example with respect to the contour. Different brush products are in particular with different fixing elements or with variable, ie at

Fixing elements adapted to the product in the packaging process. In particular, simple production can be achieved since machines only have to be changed over slightly between products.

The basic packaging body is preferably made from solid cardboard. In particular, the card element has a length of 50 mm to 300 mm, preferably 100 mm to 260 mm. Furthermore, the card element in particular has a width of 20 mm to 150 mm, preferably 35 mm to 135 mm. The grammage of the card element is in particular from 200 g / m ² to 500 g / m ² , preferably from 250 g / m ² to

450 g / m ² . The hood element preferably has the same material thickness as the card element. However, it would also be conceivable that the card element is more stable than the hood element, in particular due to a higher grammage and / or a greater material thickness. For example, the card element could have a grammage of 300 g / m ² , while the hood element has a grammage of 250 g / m ² . In a flat state, the hood element in particular has a length of 70 mm to 320 mm, preferably 1 10 mm to 280 mm, in particular including the euro-hole recess. Furthermore, in a flat state, the hood element has, in particular, a width of 40 mm to 150 mm, preferably 50 mm to 120 mm. The width is made up of a sealing edge, a side height, a tray width, the side height and a further sealing edge in the order from side to side. In a molded state of the hood element, the internal dimensions of the trough forming the receiving area on a side facing the card element are a length of 50 mm to 250 mm, preferably 100 mm to 200 mm, and a width of 15 mm to 60 mm, preferably 20 mm to 40 mm.

The hood element has a conicity from a side facing the card element towards a base, the conicity being in particular identical on opposite sides. An angle of the conicity is in particular from 2 ° to 20 °, preferably from 2 ° to 10 °. This design allows a stable construction, which protects the product sufficiently during transport. Furthermore, the height of the hood element in a molded state is in particular from 10 mm to 25 mm, preferably from 14 mm to 20 mm. The total height of the basic packaging body is in particular from 8 mm to 35 mm, preferably from 12 mm to 25 mm.

This preferably represents a multiplier, in particular a multiplier of 9.13 mm, of a corrugated spacing of a tray packaging. In the event of a deviation from that

A multiplier can be created in the secondary packaging, in particular, or a bouquet can be achieved. The grammage of the hood element is in particular from 200 g / m ² to 500 g / m ² , preferably from 250 g / m ² to 450 g / m ² .

Preferably, the front and the rear of the basic packaging body are parallel. This creates an optimized space for placement and also a certain amount of space

Stackable given. When standing, it is possible, in particular, to position in a tray with as little air or space as possible. In particular, the

Packaging are placed next to each other. This maximizes the stability of the primary and secondary packaging. Alternatively, it would also be conceivable that the

Packaging base body is parallel above and below and has less height in the middle. In this way, air or a gap is created in the middle in particular. In principle, it would also be conceivable that the front and back of the

Packaging bodies are not parallel, i.e. for example have a conical shape. There is the possibility of crossed stacking in order to avoid air or large gaps in the packaging. In particular, this does not offer optimal product presentation and storage. Alternatively, it would also be conceivable that the basic packaging body is parallel in one area and not in another, as in particular with a conical shape. In particular, designs are conceivable in which dents or the like do not protrude beyond the parallel part, which enables optimized stacking. In particular, it would be conceivable that the hood element is not angular, but rather arched and / or even has a contour with concave or convex elements, in particular for example like an air dome. In this case, a grooving could be made in particular at the highest point in order to better shape the contour. The edges of the hood element could still be sealed. However, it must be taken into account that a corresponding contour cannot be shaped so precisely, so that shape tolerances can arise. The

Hood element could be used to achieve this during the packaging process Heat and / or pressure and / or supply of moisture (e.g. steam) can also be deformed.

In particular, the brush product packaging device can serve as a one-pack as well as a two-pack or three-pack. In the case of a configuration as a two-pack or three-pack, in particular a plurality of independent or interconnected hood elements can be provided, which are applied to a card element, each hood element in particular being able to be opened separately. The card element can be made separable between the hood elements, e.g. by means of perforation. The hood elements are designed in particular to be identical. However, it would also be conceivable that only one hood element with subdivisions for several

Brush products is provided. A plurality of brush products are preferably arranged in a trough of the hood element. It would be particularly conceivable that the hood element can be opened and reclosed. In particular, several holding means and / or folding elements can be provided. Depending on a number of brush products and depending on an arrangement of the brush products in the tub of the hood element, the dimensions of the change accordingly

Hood element and the size of the card element.

The brush packaging device for a multiple pack can be designed such that the individual hood elements are designed to be separately separable. The individual hood elements belonging to the products are individually sealed. The respective sealing areas have a distance of 1 mm to 5 mm. A perforation is made in this area, which enables individual hood elements and thus individual products to be separated. In this case, it is possible that a perforation continues over the entire card to the euro-hole recess; the grammage of the card and the position of the perforation in relation to the euro-hole recess must be chosen so that stability is nevertheless guaranteed .

In addition to the brush product, other other products can be introduced into the packaging in the broadest sense in the manner of a multiple pack. These are, for example, another interchangeable head of an interchangeable toothbrush, a mini toothpaste tube, replacement battery (s), flossers, interdental brushes, several interchangeable brush heads. Instructions for use or other documentation for the Product can be introduced. These can be fixed with a holding unit, for example.

A multiple pack can also be achieved in that one

Holding unit, as described, several products can be fixed.

It is further proposed that the at least one basic packaging body has a guide section with a reduced depth on at least two opposing edges which extend at least substantially parallel to a main direction of extent. Preferably the

Guide sections each have a reduced depth compared to the total depth. The basic packaging body preferably has straight outer edges parallel to one another in the at least two guide sections. The

Guide sections are used in particular to accommodate the

Brush product packaging device in a tray package. The

The brush product packaging device is particularly inserted into guides of the tray packaging. Preferably a lower one is the two

Edge connecting guide sections is designed to be straight in order to enable the brush product packaging device to stand better in a tray packaging.

In particular, this can enable support. The edges in the guide sections are preferably not rectangular, but rather rounded, in order to enable easy plug-in and / or insertion into a guide. A maximum thickness of the basic packaging body is in each case in particular from 0.2 mm to 2.5 mm, preferably from 0.3 mm to 1 mm, in the guide sections. For the reception in a plastic base of a tray packaging, the thickness of the guide sections is in particular around 1 mm. In the case of a packaging insert of the tray packaging made of corrugated cardboard, a greater thickness tolerance is possible and greater free spaces exist. The width of the

Guide sections are in particular from 1.5 mm to 6 mm, preferably from 2.5 mm to 4.5 mm. For the reception in a plastic base of a tray packaging, the width of the guide sections is in particular around 3 mm. The width of the guide sections is defined in particular by the area until the thickness of the packaging base body increases significantly, in particular until the trough of the

Hood element begins. In the case of one made of corrugated cardboard Packaging insert of the tray packaging, a height of the guide sections is adapted to the height of the packaging insert. However, it would also be conceivable that the guide sections extend over the entire main extension of the basic packaging body. In addition, it would be conceivable that two opposing edges, which extend at least substantially parallel to a main direction of extent, have a conicity towards the lower end. In principle, it would also be conceivable for the guide sections to have a rounded contour, with a straight subsection preferably at a lower edge. As a result, the brush product packaging device can be advantageously plugged into a

Tray packaging can be achieved.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the at least one basic packaging body in each of the guide sections is at least partially multi-layered.

Both the card element and the hood element are preferably arranged in the guide sections. It is further proposed that the card element and the hood element are arranged in the guide sections in each case at least partially overlapping. In particular, the sealing edges of the hood element each overlap the card element in the guide sections. Furthermore, it is also possible, with corresponding dimensional differences, that, for example, only the card element is present in the guide sections. That is, the card element is much wider than the hood element and ultimately they are formed

Guide sections only on the hood element. Alternatively, the

Packaging base body in each case folded like a harmonica in the guide sections. In particular, it would be conceivable that the basic packaging body has a lens-shaped cross section in a lower region facing away from the euro hole recess, in particular a grip region, the guide sections being arranged in each case in the tapered sides of the lens-shaped cross section. In this way, in particular, an advantageously high stability of the guide sections can be achieved.

It is further proposed that the packaging base body has a grip area receiving the handle of the brush product and a head area receiving the head of the brush product, the guide sections being arranged exclusively in a grip area of the packaging base body. Preferably a shape, in particular a cross section, of the differs Packaging base body in the grip area of a shape, in particular a cross section, of the packaging base body in the head area. As a result, the basic packaging body can be made particularly advantageously large in the head area. In particular, a guide section in the head area can be dispensed with.

The card element can optionally be designed twice. That means that

Card element is shaped on the one hand as a card element and on the other hand as the outer frame of the card element, these two parts being connected to one another via a fold. The card element is connected to the outer frame, i. the recess is connected to the hood element. The hood is thus stabilized and the product can finally be removed from the receiving area through the recess. The card element connected via the fold is placed over the fold over the card element with the recess, the external geometries being identical and the size difference being less than 5 mm, preferably less than 2 mm. After the packaging has been connected and filled, the card element is placed on the card element with the recess using the fold and with it

connected. For example, with adhesive strips that are run over the outer edge. It is also possible that the card element is already placed on the card element with the recess and is connected, for example, by means of a perforation. In this case, the hood element would be shaped, filled with the product, and the card element prepared in this way would be placed on the hood element and connected to it. The packaging formed in this way can be designed to be resealable and can also be used in this way.

It is further proposed that the at least one packaging base body has at least two converging edges, which each extend essentially parallel to a main direction of extent. The at least one basic packaging body preferably has two converging edges on opposite sides, each of which is essentially parallel to one

Extend main direction of extent. Preferably the extend

converging edges each over a substantial part of a main extent of the packaging base body, the converging edges in particular terminating in a grip area. Preferably the four converging edges form in one Head area one each of the four side edges of a rectangular cross section of the packaging base body. Preferably the edges of the converge

Packaging base body in each case towards the guide section. In particular, the edges to the front and back are tailored. Particularly preferably, a further folded edge is arranged between each of the at least two converging edges, each of which extends essentially parallel to a direction in which the fluff extends. The further folded edges each form in particular the edge of one of the guide sections. As a result, the guide sections can be designed particularly advantageously. As a result, the guide sections can advantageously be made thin, which means that they can be reliably inserted into a tray package. In particular, a change in cross section of the

Packaging base body can be achieved along the direction of extension of the flakes.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the at least one basic packaging body has a handle area receiving the handle of the brush product and a head area receiving the head of the brush product, the receiving area having a cross section perpendicular to the direction of extension of the flake in the grip area which is substantially different from a cross section of the receiving area in the

Head area is different. Preferably, a cross section of the changes

Receiving area continuously from a lower end of the receiving area to an upper end of the receiving area. In particular, an advantageously adapted receiving area can thereby be achieved.

It is further proposed that the receiving area in the grip area has at least one lens-shaped cross section perpendicular to the direction in which the fluff extends. In this context, a “lens-shaped cross section” is to be understood in particular as a cross section in the form of a cross section of a biconvex converging lens. The cross section preferably has two convexly curved sides, each of which converges to an edge at both ends. The lens shape can in particular fix a handle or an advantageous preload on the handle of the brush product in the handle area. The brush product, in particular in the case of toothbrushes, is clamped in the grip area in particular without inserting. In particular, a separate, additional insert can be dispensed with. A fixation of the handle of the brush product, in particular Depending on the design, achieved by prestressing the lenticular cross section. The preload allows handles to be used in the same basic packaging body

to pack different shapes or geometries. In the lens-shaped cross section, the packaging base body forms part of the holding unit in particular. In the case of brush products with a rather flat handle, this is aligned so that they are clamped in the lower area and the bristle field is directed towards the front. The clamping and alignment took place in particular through the lens-shaped cross section. In the case of brush products with a more rounded handle, the clamping takes place in particular through the lens-shaped cross section, with the brush product no longer being able to rotate due to the forces. In particular, a brush head is directed to one side. However, it would also be conceivable for the brush head with a corresponding shape of the handle to be arranged at a different angle (e.g. up to 45 °, preferably up to 30 °), the bristles not being crushed in this configuration either. In addition, the lens-shaped cross-section allows the

Brush product packaging apparatus can be achieved as well as ergonomics can be improved. In particular, a modern design can be created. It is further proposed that the receiving area in the head area perpendicular to the

Main direction of extent has at least one substantially rectangular cross section. In particular, a bristle field can be protected by the rectangular shape. In particular, a load on the bristle field of the brush product from outside can be avoided. In the head area of the

In particular, brush product packaging devices are not provided with parts running at an angle. It is also proposed that a cross section of the receiving area perpendicular to the main direction of extent along the

Main direction of extent from the head area to the grip area, in particular continuously, merges from a rectangular cross section into a lenticular cross section. The basic packaging body is preferably designed in one piece. The

The packaging base body can alternatively also be constructed from two connected parts. The entire brush product packaging device can in particular be produced from a blank. The basic packaging body is designed in particular folded. In particular, grooves are provided on the edges, which support folding. However, it would also be conceivable that no creases or only partial creases are provided, which in particular has advantages with regard to delivery and / or storage are lost. In particular, a simple molding process can be achieved in this way.

The basic packaging body preferably has a corresponding

Embodiment, a decreasing height profile from the front to the back from top to bottom, in particular a wedge shape and additionally a crown is present. In particular, the basic packaging body is curved at the top and straight at the top on the front and the back. In addition, it would be conceivable that auxiliary grooves are provided that support the formation of the crown. The auxiliary grooves are preferably made on the front and / or the rear. The auxiliary grooves preferably do not extend over the entire length of the basic packaging body. They optimally support the formation of a crown when they form part of the surface in the cambered part. The auxiliary grooves can be straight or curved or a combination of straight and curved; they are preferably formed on the respective surface symmetrically to the central longitudinal axis of the respective surface. A bottom of the

The packaging base body has in particular a curvature towards the top.

The underside of the basic packaging body is preferably slotted from the front to the rear, with in particular one side being folded up and the other down. The slitting brings stability, but also an opening.

In principle, it would also be conceivable that several slots are implemented. Erecting is particularly simplified by the slotting. Furthermore, grooves from left to right are provided on the underside in particular. Grooves from the front to the back are also possible, which together with the slots or without slots also simplify the erection. By means of the underside, in particular, the basic packaging body is erected during filling. The upper side of the basic packaging body has, in particular, a straight, flat surface which forms an end to the rectangular cross section.

A corresponding brush product packaging device in a flat, unformed state has in particular a length of 120 mm to 300 mm, preferably 160 mm to 280 mm. Furthermore, in the flat, unformed state, the brush product packaging device has, in particular, a width of 120 mm to 200 mm, preferably 150 mm to 180 mm. In a molded state, the Brush product packaging device with a euro-hole flap on which the euro-hole recess is made, in particular a length of 100 mm to 260 mm, preferably from 140 mm to 240 mm, and without a euro-hole flap in particular a length of 75 mm to 235 mm, preferably from 1 15 mm to 215 mm. Furthermore, the brush product packaging device in the shaped state has in particular a width of 25 mm to 90 mm, preferably from 35 mm to 75 mm, a width of the brush product packaging device in a grip area being adapted in particular to an interface of a tray packaging. A height of the brush product packaging apparatus in a molded state is particularly from 8 mm to 35 mm, preferably from 12 mm to 25 mm. Preferably this represents a multiplier, in particular a multiplier of 9.13 mm, one

Wave spacing of a tray packaging. In the event of a deviation from the multiplier, in particular air or spacing can be created or a bouquet can be achieved. The grammage of such a brush product packaging device is in particular from 200 g / m ² to 500 g / m ² , preferably from 250 g / m ² to 450 g / m ² ; it is preferably made of solid cardboard.

A corresponding brush product packaging device can serve in particular as a single pack and also as a two-pack or three-pack. In the case of a configuration as a two-pack or three-pack, in particular several brush products can be received in the receiving area. Here is the

Brush product packaging device, depending on the embodiment, can in particular only be opened once and no longer closed again. The brush products can in particular be arranged in the recess next to one another. In the case of several brush products, in particular no separate fixing elements are provided.

Fixing elements are particularly impractical due to the opening technique. If there are several brush products, the dimensions of the change in particular

Brush product packaging device depending on the arrangement and number of brush products in the recess. In particular, however, only the width of the brush product packaging device changes.

In addition to the brush product, other other products can be introduced into the packaging, in the broadest sense in the manner of a multiple pack. These are, for example, another interchangeable head of an interchangeable toothbrush, a mini Toothpaste tube, spare battery (s), flosser, interdental brushes, several interchangeable brush heads. Instructions for use or other documentation for the product can also be included. These can be fixed with a holding unit, for example.

A euro-hole recess is preferably provided on an upper side of the basic packaging body. The euro hole recess is made in particular in an upwardly protruding tab. The tab has in particular a double

Carton guide on. In this way, in particular, a high level of stability can be achieved and tearing when hanging, for example due to the weight of a product or due to careless, rough manipulation by a customer, can be avoided. It is conceivable that the cardboard layers are glued, sealed or the like connected to one another and / or that the flap and / or at least one cardboard layer is inserted as a separate element. It can be inserted from an upper edge or from a side edge. Preferably, the tab is from the

Packaging base body folded. This can in particular

Adhesive flaps are dispensed with, which could affect sticking. In the case of a double carton guide, a front carton layer in particular has a smaller euro-hole recess in order to visually obtain an overlap from the front and to be able to compensate for manufacturing tolerances. The rear part, which is not visible, can also have a different shape than the euro-hole recess, for example an ellipse or another geometry surrounding the euro-hole recess.

The euro-hole recesses preferably have in particular one

Size difference of 0.5 mm. The euro-hole recess is preferably closed to ensure stability and, in particular, not open at the side. In addition, there is in particular the possibility that the flap with the euro-hole recess can be turned back so that the flap rests against the rest of the pack and less air or volume has to be transported. in case of an

The basic packaging body with the card element and the hood element, the euro-hole recess can in particular be provided in two layers in the card element and an upper sealing edge of the hood element. In principle, the euro hole recess can also be omitted if the basic packaging body is not hung in order to save material and volume and thus transport costs. Instead of a double box guide, a box with a higher Grammage can be used. The higher grammage automatically makes it more stable.

The euro-hole recess can in principle already be incorporated in the semi-finished product so that no more work steps are necessary in the process for forming the euro-hole recess. But it is also possible that the euro hole recess is created only after the various parts of the cardboard packaging have been connected.

It is further proposed that the at least one basic packaging body has at least one perforation strip running transversely to the main direction of extent for opening the basic packaging body. The perforation strip is preferably designed as a tear-open perforation. The perforation strip is formed in particular by two perforations running parallel to one another. The perforations of the perforation strip have in particular a cutting length of 1.5 mm to 7 mm, preferably 2.5 mm to 5.5 mm, and a holding length of 1 mm to 4 mm, preferably 1.5 mm to 3 mm . The perforation should in particular be stable so that it does not tear in the event of blows during transport. Alternatively or additionally, a herringbone shape is conceivable, which provides better performance when tearing open. The perforation strip extends in particular circumferentially around a longitudinal axis of the packaging base body. In principle, the perforation strip can be used both in a grip area and in a head area of the

Be arranged packaging base body. The perforation strip is preferably arranged in a central area, that is to say in particular not in an edge area. It would also be conceivable that the perforation strip is arranged at an angle to the longitudinal axis. Alternatively or additionally, it would also be conceivable that the perforation strip is arranged on a top side and / or extends over a corner, as part of the one surface and as part of the other surface, such as from the top to the

Front. Particularly preferably, the perforation strip has a tear-open tab at at least one position, which creates a possibility of starting the tear-open. In principle, it would also be conceivable that, for example, the euro-hole tab serves as a pull tab. The perforation strip is in the area of the pull tab

in particular continued in its contour without sealing. in case of an

Packaging base body with the card element and the hood element, the perforation strip can in particular on an upper side and / or a lower side of the Be arranged hood element so that the smallest possible opening is created when opening. Alternatively, the perforation strip can extend laterally on the left, right or on the rear side over the whole or only part of the hood length of the hood element. If the perforation strip extends over the entire length of the hood, printing on the inside of the hood element can be read and printing is therefore conceivable. Alternatively or additionally, it would also be conceivable that the

Perforation strips over a corner of the hood element, as part of one surface and as part of the other surface, extends. Alternatively or additionally, it would also be conceivable for the perforation strip to be arranged on the sealing edge, the sealing edge being torn open on one side. In this way, advantageous disclosure of the brush product packaging device can be created in particular. In particular, tool-free opening of the brush product packaging device can be made possible.

In this context, it is conceivable that the

Brush product packaging apparatus further at least partially forms a head quiver. In particular, it would be conceivable that the box of

Brush product packaging device is separable so that a head quiver is formed. In particular, the carton in this part of the

Brush product packaging device may be specially coated to improve shelf life. In combination with the perforation strip, the

Brush product packaging device can further be used in whole or in part as a travel quiver in which the brush can be transported protected as a whole.

It is further proposed that the brush product packaging device has at least one reclosing unit, which is provided for reclosing the basic packaging body. The at least one reclosure unit is preferably designed at least partially in one piece with the basic packaging body. The reclosure unit preferably has a reclosable tab which can be pushed into a tab receptacle. The reclosing flap is particularly preferably provided, at least partially with the

To lock the tab holder. The reclosable flap or the flap receptacle is preferably arranged on a folding flap of the basic packaging body. The reclosure unit is, for example, a cuboid

Packaging base can be used. A specific embodiment of the reclosure unit provides that the closure tab is introduced into a tab receptacle for the initial closure when the packaging is filled. To remove the product, the closing flap can be separated so that it becomes a reclosing flap. For this purpose, on the one hand, two tab mountings are formed in the area of the tab mount. These can take on different sizes and shapes. One tab receptacle is shaped to receive the closure tab, the other is there to receive the reclosable tab. The tab receptacle for receiving the closure tab is shaped rather less long than the tab receptacle for receiving the

Reclosable flap.

Overall, the flap has a tapered shape, the flap being connected to the further packaging at the kink or at the crease / fold. From this point on, the flap is designed to taper, the closure flap being designed as a barb-shaped or anchor-shaped widening in the end region of the flap. The

The widening is designed in such a way that there is a latching with the tab receptacle and the closure tab only with destruction of the parts on the tab or the

Tab holder can be removed again. In order to still be able to open the packaging in order to use the product, the closure flap is connected to the rest of the flap via a perforation. The closing flap is separated at the perforation before the product is used for the first time, so the flap is not fixed and the product can be removed. For reclosing, there is another between the tab receptacle of the closing tab and the kink point

Shaped tab holder. This tab recording is used to

To include the reclosable flap. The reclosing flap is formed in the "normal" tapering part of the flap and ends at the perforation to the closing flap. The reclosable flap has no barb-shaped or anchor-shaped

Elements that allow removal of the reclosable flap from the flap receptacle only with destruction. For this reason, it can be inserted and removed several times.

The first part of the flap - the closure flap - which has to be separated for opening, is about the same width as the flap holder. The

Barb-shaped, anchor-shaped widening can easily be inserted into the Tab recording are introduced, but will get caught due to the geometry when retracting. The tab recordings of this type are preferably as

Sections designed and not as recesses. But it is also possible to use a

Design recess, especially in the tab recording that to

Reclosing is used. If the tab holder is only designed as a cut, holding back with the barb works better.

A cuboid packaging base body could in particular advantageously be designed to be easy to manufacture. For example, it would be conceivable that a longitudinal edge is already pre-glued and can therefore be pre-fabricated. In particular, the basic packaging body only needs to be (unfolded) folded prior to filling. As a result, the brush product packaging device can in particular also be used as transport packaging for the brush product after the brush product has been unpacked for the first time. In particular, the brush product packaging apparatus can be used as

Travel packaging, in particular as a travel quiver, can be used for the brush product. Furthermore, the brush product packaging device can be designed as a returnable pack. In particular, it would be conceivable that a used product would be packaged for recycling purposes and sent to the Fiersteller or a

Collection point can be sent. In this way, in particular, advantageously sustainable packaging can be created.

A configuration of the brush product packaging apparatus could therefore

in particular be a rectangular cardboard box with a euro-hole flap. A corresponding brush product packaging device in particular has straight side surfaces at a right angle, with a euro-hole tab in particular being provided in an upper area. There is therefore a width, height and length

especially constant. Preferably has a corresponding

Brush product packaging device in particular has a length with euro-hole flap of 100 mm to 260 mm, preferably 140 mm to 240 mm. Without the euro-hole tab, the length is in particular from 75 mm to 235 mm, preferably from 115 mm to 215 mm. A width of the brush product packaging device is particularly from 25 mm to 90 mm, preferably from 35 mm to 75 mm. An overall height of the brush product packaging device is in particular from 8 mm to 35 mm, preferably from 12 mm to 25 mm. The grammage of such The brush product packaging apparatus is particularly from 200 g / m ² to 500 g / m ² , preferably from 250 g / m ² to 450 g / m ² , it is preferably made of solid cardboard.

A corresponding brush product packaging device can serve in particular as a single pack and also as a two-pack or three-pack. In the case of a configuration as a two-pack or three-pack, in particular several brush products can be received in the receiving area. The brush product packaging device can be designed so that it can be opened and closed once or several times, depending on the configuration. The brush product packaging device is designed in particular to be resealable. The brush products can be arranged in the recess in particular lying next to one another, in particular also crossed. In the case of several brush products, either no separate fixing elements are provided or the fixing elements are designed such that the brush product can be pulled out upwards. If there are several brush products, the dimensions of the brush product packaging device in particular change depending on the arrangement and number of brush products in the recess. In particular, however, only the width of the brush product packaging device changes.

In addition to the brush product, other other products can be introduced into the packaging in the broadest sense in the manner of a multiple pack. These are, for example, another interchangeable head of an interchangeable toothbrush, a mini toothpaste tube, replacement battery (s), flossers, interdental brushes, several interchangeable brush heads. Instructions for use or other documentation for the product can also be included. These can be fixed with a holding unit, for example.

A corresponding brush product packaging device can in particular also be used for other purposes in addition to receiving toothbrushes. The

The brush packaging device is particularly useful as a dental floss packaging. To this end, a dimensioning can in particular be adapted. Furthermore, a knife for cutting the dental floss can be integrated directly into the brush packaging device. Furthermore, the brush packaging device is also available as

Interdental brush packaging can be used. To this end, a dimensioning can in particular be adapted. Furthermore, an insert part, in particular a fixing element, can be provided for the orderly holding of the interdental brushes. The insert part can in particular be rake-shaped, with one between each prong

Interdental brush is clamped. The insert preferably has in particular recesses or empty spaces so that the interdental brushes can be removed.

Further, the brush product packaging apparatus has particular features

Hygiene requirements. The brush product packaging device must

in particular be closed, which can be achieved, for example, by gluing or gluing with adhesive tape. In particular, there should be no open games. In particular, the brush product packaging device does not have complete tightness, since the brush product packaging device cannot be completely tightly closed. In particular, the brush product packaging device has tiny openings due to perforations and non-glued or minimally glued points. An improved tightness can be achieved in particular by additional tabs and / or gluing. The basic packaging body preferably has dust flaps, in particular regardless of its configuration. The dust flaps are in particular an element on an upper edge, such as for example on an edge of the hood element, in order to prevent or reduce the penetration of dust. The dust flaps are in particular unfixed or fixed, such as in particular by gluing, sealing or the like, folded and applied. In principle, dust flaps can be provided on the packaging body wherever tiny openings are present

Packaging body are provided. Dust flaps are preferably not separate elements, but are formed integrally with other components of the packaging base body already described. In the case of an automated sealing process, a long dust flap can be provided on the top over the entire width, which is designed to overlap completely, in particular for better counter pressure during the gluing process. In this context, a “dust flap” should be understood to mean, in particular, a component of a folding box that is provided to prevent dust and other foreign bodies from penetrating into the interior of the box. In addition, dust flaps ensure, in particular by applying counter pressure, that a lid flap does not break into the folding box. They serve as a counter pressure, so to speak. Means are also provided to enable color recognition and presentation of the brush product in the brush product packaging device.

In particular, a corresponding printing of the

Brush product packaging device conceivable, such as by

Inline printing. In particular, larger areas can be specifically printed, with the brush product being inserted, in particular in a color-defined manner, before printing, and / or a camera recognizing a color of the brush product. Alternatively, there is also the possibility of specifically printing smaller areas, in particular a color selection being printed on the brush product packaging device and a cross of the color selection being set inline at the correct location.

Alternatively or additionally, a viewing window can be provided, with cardboard packaging no longer being provided if necessary. To achieve a pure

Cardboard packaging can in particular only be provided with a hole or a recess. The hole can in particular be at least partially closed by the brush product. For example, a surface of the grip area can cover the hole in order to make the color of the brush product visible.

As an alternative or in addition, a head quiver can also be provided or attached to the brush product, which protects the brush head, the head quiver closing the hole. In this way, the bristle field, the type of bristle and the

Bristle color visible and could signal a color of the product. In this case, the quiver in particular would have to be adapted so that any air holes do not lie in the open area, ie in the area of the hole. However, it is also conceivable that the hole simply remains open. Alternatively or additionally, the hole can also be closed by an attached film. The hole can be closed before or after the brush product is introduced into the basic packaging body. The material used here is plastic with a high proportion of recycled material, in particular 100% plastic film made from recycled material and / or from renewable raw materials, biodegradable such as cellulose, cellulose or the like. and / or transparent paper conceivable. Transparent paper can be made translucent or transparent. In particular, cellulose-based plastics such as cellulose hydrate, PLA or PET-A, in particular 100% recycled, are conceivable as plastics. The film can be fastened by means of sealing or gluing, in particular on the inside of the basic packaging body or on the outside. The film can in particular form part of the outer contour, for example as an overhang label (ie certain areas of the film outside the hole lift from the basic packaging body from or are not supported by this) or as reinforcement for the contour of the euro hole recess or as a euro hole recess in the label. The film can in particular be glued together with a label or as a label, for example on the basic packaging body, such as in particular on the hood element or the card element. The film can be neutral or be or will be printed. Here, the film is applied in particular from the outside when the packaging has already been manufactured, in particular sealed. The label or the film is preferably provided outside the sealing area. When the film is printed, features of the product can be highlighted with corresponding graphic designs, for example by means of arrows or words. This can happen on all transparent windows, not just the label. The foil can also be substantially the entire

Wrap the packaging body. It would also be conceivable for the film to be unsecured and, for example, only to be inserted into the basic packaging body. The film can in particular be inserted and placed between different cardboard parts

The packaging body must be clamped. In this way, simple separability for recycling and disposal could be achieved. The film can be straight or shaped, for example as a U-profile or 3D shape. A 3D shape could for example be made by deep drawing, and an integrated element for holding the

Represent brush product. It is also conceivable that, for example, the hood element is designed so that a back is designed like an overhang label, that is, the

The back is also designed from a part of the side surface. The film closes the back and the exposed side surfaces, several "holes" being closed with a film. As a further option, the viewing window can simultaneously form an opening for a travel box, which can be opened and closed several times.

Furthermore, a 3D viewing window would also be conceivable. This could be realized by means of a head quiver that protrudes through the hole. The viewing window can also extend over a corner. A specific card showing the color would also be conceivable for color recognition. For example, it would be conceivable that the brush product is recognized inline in the packaging machine, the color being determined, a specific blister card selected or specific printing being triggered, in particular inline.

The brush product packaging device preferably has a barcode.

The barcode is preferably in an area in which there is no perforation and no Seal edge is provided with a paragraph. The barcode is printed in particular on a printed background. In particular, a white background is provided for a black code. The barcode is in particular according to the GS1 standard. In particular, a clear background with sufficient contrast is provided in this area. If there is enough contrast between the background and the printing, no primer is necessary. Furthermore, in particular a manufacturing code must be applied, such as a lot code and / or batch code. In one embodiment of the

Brush product packaging device with a hood element, the manufacturing code can be provided in particular on the underside of the hood element. The orientation of the hood is preferably irrelevant and the production code does not interfere and is not seen from the front during a presentation. In the case of an embodiment of the brush product packaging device with a lens-shaped cross section, the manufacturing code can preferably be applied to the rear side. The manufacturing code can in particular be applied both in the grip area and in the head area. In the cuboid brush product packaging apparatus, the

Attachment of the manufacturing code in particular generally variable. The manufacturing code can advantageously be attached to an underside of the brush product packaging device.

In particular, there are different configurations of a corresponding one

Brush product packaging device conceivable. Preferably by means of

Brush product packaging device, in particular, packaging made of 100% cardboard and / or 100% sustainable materials (e.g. combination of 100% cardboard and 100% recycling materials or combination of 100% cardboard and 100% bio-based materials) is possible. The disadvantage with 100% cardboard is, in particular, that the product is generally not visible, the product being able to be visualized in particular by printing on the brush product packaging device. Alternatively, as already stated, a viewing window can be provided in the box. Furthermore, the brush product packaging device in particular can be provided as primary packaging, which can be kept particularly well in secondary packaging, in particular in tray packaging. The

For this purpose, the brush product packaging device has, in particular, the guide sections via which the brush product packaging device is inserted into a shaft of a

Tray packaging can be stretched. Furthermore, an advantageously stable Brush product packaging apparatus can be provided. Due to the shaping of the hood element with seals and also seals with the card element, due to the dust flaps at the top and the slit below, or due to the gluing and / or fixing, a very stable packaging is created. In particular, the brush product packaging apparatus can be less prone to pressure, so that

Brush product is well protected. Furthermore, in particular, good printability can be provided. In particular, printing on all sides is possible.

For example, the card element and the hood element can be printed on both sides and thus also on the inside. There will be large areas for the

Printing provided, in particular more than, for example, with a classic blister pack. A major difference is that the

Packaging base body, in particular for example the hood element, can be printed on the inside and outside. The packaging base body can have tear perforations, which allow the packaging base body to be opened essentially into a flat blank after the brush product has been removed, and thus additional space for further inscriptions, such as the description of the product or for the

Instructions for use to enable. Furthermore, a variable

Product arrangement (orientation of the bristle field) of the bristle product can be achieved. In particular, a bristle field can be aligned longitudinally or transversely.

The aim of the brush product packaging device is, in particular, to provide a packaging that is as ecological as possible, which in particular fits into a tray packaging described below. Furthermore, the market target should be the

Brush product packaging device in the store fit on the existing hook systems and in particular require the same space as a conventional one

Brush product packing device.

Furthermore, the invention is based on a method for producing the

Brush product packing device. Different methods are conceivable in particular depending on a configuration of the brush product packaging device.

In the brush product packaging apparatus having the card member and the

In a first method step, the hood element is preferably cut to size for the card element and the hood element. Furthermore, the Hood element formed from a blank. In particular, a tub is formed from the flat blank. Lateral elements of the blank are bent. The flat part of the blank can optionally also be deformed by means of heat and / or pressure and / or supply of moisture, as already described. The tub formed in this way can optionally be glued and / or sealed or temporarily held in shape without a fixed connection. In addition, it would be conceivable that an insert, such as in particular a folding element of the holding unit, is introduced. Furthermore, the shaped tub is filled in particular with the brush product. Then, in particular, the card element is placed on the filled tub. The card element is sealed in particular with the sealing edges of the hood element, in particular by means of heat sealing. The requirements for the sealing wax are particularly suitability for contact with food. Furthermore, the sealing wax is applied to the hood element as well as to the card element. In particular, it is theoretically conceivable that the sealing wax is also only applied to one side. Furthermore, a sealable type of cardboard in particular must be selected. Not all types of cardboard are sealable, such as grass cardboard, which does not seal due to its porosity, since the sealing wax is absorbed and is therefore not available on the surface. To a

To enable the use of grass cardboard would be conceivable to treat the grass cardboard so that a sealing wax does not penetrate the material. The requirements for the sealing edges of the hood element are in particular that they should lie in one plane. It would also be conceivable for the sealing edges to lie in different planes, although this is more complex in terms of production technology, since several sealing plates are required. It would also be conceivable that the sealing edges that are sealed onto the card can be concealed by an optical design. Alternatively, it would also be conceivable that the sealing edges of the hood element extend as far as an edge of the card element in order to reduce the visibility of the sealing edges. This results in a tolerance issue in particular, since the geometries must match. However, there is also the advantage that there is no edge on the surface and therefore no shoulders arise between the card element and the sealing edges. In addition, it would be conceivable that the packaging base body is punched after sealing so that the outer contour is flush. The sealing edges extend around the entire raised contour of the hood element. However, it would also be conceivable that the sealing edges are partially interrupted and / or cut in order to create circumferential contours. The width of the sealing edges is in particular from 3 mm to 7 mm, preferably 3.5 mm up to 5.5 mm. The width of the sealing edges is particularly dependent on the shape of the edge or the entire sealing surface and the product weight. Furthermore, the sealing edges depend on the substrate, ie cardboard and sealing wax. In principle, it would also be conceivable that the hood element and the card element are connected by means of welding, in particular by means of ultrasonic welding, and / or by means of gluing.

In the brush product packaging apparatus with the at least partially

With a lens-shaped cross-section, a glued cover is purchased which only needs to be erected, filled and closed. The production takes place from a flat blank and is folded and glued. Handling, that is to say, for example, erecting, filling and closing the brush product packaging device, can take place both manually and automatically. The already glued casing of the brush product packaging device in particular already has grooves in the side surface, whereby the blanks can thereby be delivered in particular flat. The grooves in the side surfaces of the basic packaging body form the edge on the left and right in the flat state. Preferably only one side of the prefabricated shell is open. In a first process step, in particular the casing is erected. The casing is then filled from the open side and

then the side that is still open is closed. It is closed by gluing the open upper flaps or by inserting these flaps.

In the case of the cuboid-shaped brush product packaging device, a pre-glued cover is purchased which can be filled manually or automatically. The gluing is preferably already carried out along the longitudinal edge of the envelope. The tabs at the top and bottom of the brush product packaging device can in particular be both plugged in and glued. In a first process step, in particular the casing is erected and the lower end is closed. The envelope is then filled and sealed at the top. It is closed manually by engaging or locking.

Inserting or gluing the tabs. Depending on the process, the orientation of the brush product packaging device can be different, which means that a closing sequence can also differ. It would be particular

For example, it is conceivable that it is first closed at the top and filled from below. Closing can also take place in parallel, i.e. at the top and bottom at the same time, instead of the serial locking. The closing can therefore also optionally take place only when the bristle product has already been introduced.

Due to the fact that packagings formed in this way are somewhat inferior to other packagings in terms of dust tightness, it is possible that the product is packaged several times in the primary pack. For example, the product could be shrink-wrapped in cellophane packaging. The product in the

Cellophane packaging would then be placed in the cardboard packaging described. In order to be sustainable, the film used for the cellophane packaging could be made from a sustainable plastic, as described above.

In order to create an even higher quality primary packaging, two

Packaging can be arranged one inside the other so that the packaging lying directly on the product is also protected. In this way, for example, a

Hood packaging, which is placed in a cuboid cardboard packaging, are provided, with the higher quality hood packaging being better protected.

Furthermore, the invention is based on a system with the

Brush product packaging device and with one in the

Brush product packaging device accommodated brush product, in particular a toothbrush.

Furthermore, the invention is based on a tray packaging for receiving at least two, in particular a plurality of,

Brush product packaging devices, comprising at least one

Outer packaging base body and with at least one packaging insert arranged in the outer packaging base body for positioning the

Brush product packaging devices. It is proposed that the at least one packaging insert consists at least to a large extent of a paper material. The tray packaging is formed in particular by secondary packaging. The tray packaging has in particular an integrated element for product presentation in order to present products in a uniform manner. In particular, the packaging insert is used for the uniform reception and presentation of

Brush product packaging devices. There are also important topics Tray packaging in particular the stackability, so that the tray packaging can be stacked well for transport, the ecology, i.e. in particular the use of as little cardboard as possible, and shelf readiness, i.e. that the tray packaging must be able to serve as packaging at the point of sale and no rearrangement is necessary, but rather only the tray packaging has to be opened. In particular, the tray packaging is provided to accommodate the brush product packaging devices by insertion. Part of the packaging geometry of the

Brush product packaging devices are used in particular for holding. In particular, various

Brush product packaging devices are included. Preferably, the brush product packaging devices will in particular be inserted into the packaging insert. The packaging insert is used in particular to receive and guide the brush product packaging devices in a defined manner

Tray packaging. In particular, the packaging insert also serves to fix the brush product packaging devices after a part of the

Brush product packaging devices has been removed from the tray package. The packaging insert can be provided both for receiving a defined size of brush product packaging devices and for individual receiving.

The inventive design of the tray packaging makes it possible, in particular, to provide packaging that is advantageously simple and inexpensive to manufacture. In particular, tray packaging that can advantageously be produced and printed in a flexible manner can be provided. Furthermore, an advantageously high ecology of the

Tray packaging can be achieved. A high level of ecology can be achieved in particular through the use of recycled paper material. Furthermore, a

Tray packaging made from renewable materials can be provided.

In one embodiment of the tray packaging, the packaging insert can be designed, for example, as a grid grid. The brush product packaging devices can, for example, be inserted individually into the grid formed as a grid

Packaging insert can be inserted. The packaging insert can in particular have longitudinal walls and transverse walls. The main body of the outer packaging forms, in particular, an outer box. The grid of the packaging insert can be adapted in particular to a size, in particular a width and height, of the brush product packaging devices to be accommodated. In particular, an inclined product presentation through inclined transverse walls of the packaging insert would also be conceivable, the brush product packaging devices in particular being held inclined by the packaging insert. In principle, a combination of different packaging inserts would also be conceivable, so that straight and inclined brush product packaging devices can be accommodated in the same tray packaging. For example, brush product packaging devices can be received obliquely at the front and straight at the rear. The tray packaging in particular has x rows next to one another, in particular at least two, and x rows one behind the other. The tray packaging is provided in particular to hold 10 to 100 pieces, preferably 15 to 50 pieces, of the brush product packaging devices. The tray packaging is provided in particular to accommodate 5 to 12 pieces of the brush product packaging devices in length. Furthermore, the tray packaging is provided in particular to accommodate 2 to 10 pieces of the brush product packaging devices in width. The width of the recess in the grid of the packaging insert is in particular from 15 mm to 75 mm, preferably from 20 mm to 50 mm, the empty space corresponding to the width of the packaging plus tolerance. The length of the recess in the grid of the packaging insert is in particular from 12 mm to 40 mm, preferably from 15 mm to 30 mm. The grids of the packaging insert extend in particular over the entire inner dimensions of the packaging so that it is clamped at the front and back as well as left and right or at least cannot slip. In principle, it would also be conceivable that the grids of the packaging insert do not extend to the edge at the front and rear and / or left and right, with the brush product packaging devices received centering the packaging insert. This has the disadvantage that if

Brush product packaging devices are removed that

Brush product packaging devices are no longer equally stable. Furthermore, it would also be conceivable that several brush product packaging devices are arranged in a grid of the packaging insert, such as in particular next to one another and / or one behind the other. A corresponding tray packaging could in particular by

Erecting the outer packaging body, inserting the packaging insert into the outer packaging body and filling the tray packaging. In an alternative embodiment of the tray packaging, it would also be conceivable that a packaging insert can be dispensed with, the

Brush product packaging devices are received loosely, in particular stacked in a controlled manner, in the tray packaging. Perforation can turn the tray packaging into a tray. These are the

Brush product packaging devices, in particular, are stacked in an orderly manner to make optimal use of space. However, it would also be a messy inclusion of the

Brush product packaging devices conceivable. The tray packaging can in particular be formed by a pre-glued box that is delivered in such a way that it only has to be erected. The tray packaging is in particular formed by a glued blank which only needs to be connected at the top and bottom when closing, in particular by gluing, for example by means of an adhesive strip. The tray packaging is especially designed to hold 10 to 100 pieces, preferably 15 to 50 pieces

Brush product packaging devices are provided. The tray packaging is particularly intended to hold 5 to 12 pieces in length

Brush product packaging devices. Furthermore, the tray packaging is particularly intended to hold 2 to 10 pieces of the width

Brush product packaging devices. A length of the tray packaging is in particular from 100 mm to 500 mm, preferably from 200 mm to 350 mm. A width of the tray packaging is in particular from 150 mm to 450 mm, preferably from 200 mm to 300 mm. A height corresponds in particular to the height of the brush product packaging devices received. A corresponding

Tray packaging could in particular be produced by erecting the tray packaging, filling the tray packaging, and closing and closing the tray packaging.

The cuboid brush product packaging device can, for example, be arranged in a tray packaging which consists of a grid. Due to the cuboid shape or the rectangular cross-section, the

Brush product packaging device optimally in the grid with rectangular

Recesses for product reception. The disadvantage of the distances between the brush product packaging devices, which are created by the grid, can be countered by constructing the cuboid brush product packaging with a tab and euro-hole recess with a different orientation. So can an upside down cuboid

Brush product packaging device with the flap of the euro hole recess can be introduced into a tray packaging. It is therefore actually placed upside down in the tray packaging. The cuboid brush product packaging device can thus be presented in two ways. Standing - upside down - tucked into a tray or hanging from the euro hole. Both are so directly combined. The graphic design of the surface of the brush product packaging device must of course be designed accordingly, so that the consumer does not perceive the multifunctionality as disturbing. The design of the euro-hole recess is optional in this case; only one tab can also be designed around the cuboid

Tray packaging of this type has the advantage that existing widths, lengths and heights of the packaging can be used and the existing standards are adhered to, so that the product can virtually replace existing products 1: 1.

It is further proposed that the at least one packaging insert is folded at least essentially in a U-shape. In a folded state, the packaging insert is in particular U-shaped. Preferably, the

Packaging insert at least one flat base and two

opposite sides of the base side arranged side parts, which extend in particular perpendicular to the base side on. The side parts and the base are preferably folded in one piece from one piece, in particular from a sheet of cardboard. The side parts are provided in particular for receiving and guiding guide sections of the brush product packaging devices. In particular, one guide section of a brush product packaging device is guided in one side part. In an inserted state, the packaging insert is preferably at least partially held in a U-shape by the outer packaging base body. In principle it would also be conceivable that in one

Outer packaging body several packaging inserts are arranged side by side, the packaging inserts at least partially mutually in a U Keep shape. As a result, a packaging insert that is advantageously simply produced can be provided in particular. Furthermore, an advantageously reliable guidance of brush product packaging devices in the

Packaging insert can be achieved. In particular, a fleas of the packaging insert, in particular the side parts, can advantageously be attached to a

Brush product packaging device adapted and thus provided an advantageously stable guide.

It is further proposed that the at least one packaging insert is made from corrugated cardboard. All cardboard elements of the tray packaging are preferably made from corrugated cardboard. However, it would also be conceivable that the

Outer packaging base body is made, for example, from solid cardboard.

The outer packaging base body preferably consists at least partially of single-walled corrugated cardboard, in particular of recycled material. The basic outer packaging body preferably consists at least partially of gray cardboard, in particular of recycling material. The packaging insert is particularly preferably made from one-sided corrugated cardboard, that is to say from corrugated cardboard in particular, consisting of an outer cover and a corrugated layer. In principle, however, the use of a single-wall corrugated cardboard, a double-wall corrugated cardboard or a three-wall corrugated cardboard would also be conceivable. The corrugations of a corrugated layer of the corrugated cardboard are provided in particular to each form a guide groove for the guide section of the brush product packaging devices. Each wave trough of the wave layer preferably forms a guide groove. The corrugated crests of the corrugated layer of the corrugated cardboard extend, in particular in a packaging state, in particular parallel to a plane of extension of the flake

Brush product packaging devices. The corrugated cardboard is preferably made of recycled material. The corrugation spacing of the packaging insert, that is to say in particular from wave trough to wave trough or from wave crest to wave crest, is in particular from 5 mm to 14 mm, preferably from 7.5 mm to 11 mm. In particular, the shaft spacing is exactly 9.13 mm. The fleas of the individual corrugation of the packaging insert is in particular from 2 mm to 10 mm, preferably from 3.5 mm to 8 mm, the same fleas in particular always being provided per pack and in particular also in all tray packs. In particular, the brush product packaging devices can be inserted into the packaging insert in various ways. In particular, any plug spacing is possible. In the case of advantageously narrow brush product packaging devices, such as, in particular, for interdental brushes, it is particularly possible that one in each wave trough

Brush product packaging device is inserted. With big ones

Brush product packaging devices, such as in particular for electric toothbrushes, a spacing between adjacent brush product packaging devices of x-waves is also conceivable. The aim is in particular that the

Brush product packaging devices are regularly plugged in, so they always have the same distances. However, it is also conceivable that the

Brush product packaging devices are inserted irregularly, so

have different distances, for example to compensate for excesses in the head area and thus a bunch of flowers. For example, it would be conceivable that after a first brush product packaging device one shaft remains empty, after a further brush product packaging device two shafts remain empty, then one shaft remains empty again, etc .; Furthermore, it is also possible, for example, that after a first brush product packaging device two shafts remain empty and after another brush product packaging device three shafts remain empty, then two shafts remain empty, etc. A plug spacing can therefore in particular be dependent on the product height and the shaft spacing . The aim is, in particular, that the brush product packaging device is as straight as possible, the brush product is not squashed and, despite this, there is a volume-optimized storage. “Corrugated cardboard” is to be understood as meaning, in particular, a paper material, in particular cardboard, composed of one or more layers of corrugated paper that is glued to one layer or between several layers of another paper or cardboard. Corrugated cardboard is preferably produced by gluing at least one smooth paper and one corrugated paper together. This simplest version is called a one-sided corrugated cardboard with an open flute. If a smooth, a corrugated and again a smooth paper is glued together, one speaks in particular of a single-corrugated cardboard. For example, up to seven layers can be glued on top of one another and a three-wall corrugated cardboard is created. Corrugated cardboard can preferably have the number of corrugations, the corrugation size and the material thickness

distinguish. In this context, “solid cardboard” is to be understood as meaning, in particular, a solid material consisting essentially of fibers of plant origin, single-ply and couched, also glued, glued, impregnated or coated together manufactured as machine cardboard or wrapping cardboard, the mass per unit area of which is above that for cardboard. The weight per unit area of solid board ranges in particular from about 500 to 3000 g / m ² . The name solid board describes the density and the homogeneous structure of this packaging material. Solid cardboard is usually made from several layers, whereby up to 100 percent of the mass can consist of recycled fiber mass, i.e. recycled waste paper. A “main extension plane” of a unit is to be understood as meaning, in particular, a plane which is parallel to a largest side surface of a smallest imaginary cuboid, which just completely surrounds the unit, and in particular runs through the center of the cuboid. As a result, a packaging insert that is advantageously simply produced can be provided in particular. Furthermore, an advantageously reliable guidance of

Brush product packaging devices can be achieved in the packaging insert. Furthermore, in particular, an already prefabricated material can be used. In particular, further processing costs can be kept low. Furthermore, an advantageously lightweight packaging insert can be provided in particular. Furthermore, an advantageously high level of ecology for the tray packaging can be achieved.

A high level of ecology can be achieved in particular through the use of recycled paper material. It can also be particularly universal in use

Tray packaging can be achieved with a high standard.

It is also proposed that the at least one outer packaging base body have at least one shoe element for receiving the at least one

Has packaging insert and at least one hood element for closing the shoe element. The shoe element is in particular formed by a cuboid that is open on one side. In particular, it would be conceivable that individual walls of the

Shoe elements are pulled up. One front wall is preferred

Shoe element not pulled up. In particular, the front wall is completely or partially excluded in order to achieve a better product presentation. In particular, the left, right and rear walls can be raised. If part of the walls are completely raised, products can be supported up to the top edge. It would also be conceivable that the walls rise towards the rear, so that the rear wall is high and the height of the side walls increases towards the rear. In principle, the walls can also be designed with a height profile. Furthermore, the walls be designed with recesses. The shoe element can in particular at least partially form a sales display. For this purpose, the shoe element can in particular be printed in order to optimize a presentation at the point of sale. The

The hood element is in particular formed by a folded hood. The

In particular, the hood element is merely inserted and / or put on. The hood element is preferably provided, in particular on a rear side or a front side, to move into the shoe element. If the shoe element has a rear wall, it would in particular be conceivable that the hood element has the reverse shape of the shoe element, the hood element, in particular on the front side, having a wall, in particular a high wall. The wall is used in particular for support. The hood element is in particular cuboid and is intended to be slipped over the products or the brush product packaging devices and the shoe element. Preferably, the hood element is attached by means of glue or adhesive tape, in particular aids for loosening the

Hood element are provided by the shoe element. Various options for removing the hood element are conceivable. For example, a perforation can be provided in the hood member for removing the lid and exposing the brush product packaging devices. The perforation can be reinforced with a tape, for example, to prevent a

Avoid perforation strips. The perforation can also extend in particular around the longitudinal axis of the packaging and / or at an angle, in particular if the side walls of the shoe element are inclined. Furthermore, it would also be conceivable that the adhesive points can be torn off and / or separated from the hood element. It would also be conceivable that no connection is provided between the hood element and the shoe element and the hood element can simply be lifted off. In principle, it would also be conceivable that the hood element and the shoe element in a

Production and filling are designed in one piece. In particular, it would be conceivable that the hood element and the shoe element are designed as a cardboard box that is filled and / or a filled packaging insert is introduced. It would be particularly conceivable that the hood element and the shoe element can be separated by a perforation. As a result, an advantageous

Tray packaging are provided. In particular, a tray packaging can be provided, which is advantageous for transporting and presenting Brush product packaging devices or can be used by brush products.

In particular, the at least one packaging insert is only designed to be inserted into the shoe element. A number of packaging inserts in one

The main body of the outer packaging can in particular be different. In particular, it would be both conceivable that only a number of

Brush product packaging devices is provided to receive and accordingly only one packaging insert is provided, as well as that several rows of packaging inserts are provided for several rows of brush product packaging devices, such as two-row or three-row. In particular, multiple rows are not limited. In particular, rows of one packaging insert each with a large number of them received therein

Brush product packaging devices can be arranged both side by side and one above the other. In particular, a further packaging insert can also be arranged on a number of brush product packaging devices. Out

For reasons of stability, it would also be conceivable that, for example, always two

Packaging inserts are arranged together in a holder and / or that individual packaging inserts are connected, in particular glued. Furthermore, it would also be conceivable that to maintain the interface shape, in particular to a

Stabilization, a packaging insert is hooked into another packaging insert and these support each other. It is also conceivable that the

Outer packaging base body is formed only by a ring or band that supports the packaging insert. It would also be conceivable that separate, additional shoes are provided for bundling.

A shoe element can hold in particular from 4 to 20, preferably from 5 to 12, one behind the other in length, brush product packaging devices, which are in particular received in a packaging insert. Furthermore, in the shoe element, in turn, from 1 to 9, preferably from 1 to 4, with

Brush product packaging devices filled packaging liners are included. Particularly in the case of low brush product packaging devices, such as in particular for dental floss, flossers or the like, in particular between 1 and 3 rows of brush product packaging devices can be placed in a packaging insert be arranged one above the other. The packaging insert in particular has a length of 100 mm to 350 mm, preferably from 115 mm to 250 mm. A width of the packaging insert is in particular from 20 mm to 120 mm, preferably from 30 mm to 100 mm. The width is in particular directly from the width of the

Brush product packaging devices depending, the

Brush product packaging devices are in turn adapted to standards.

In particular, standard widths for brush product packaging devices are 42 mm, 70 mm and 92 mm. The cutting width of the packaging insert is therefore particularly dependent on the intended receiving width and the desired guide height. The height of the packaging insert in a folded state is in particular from 15 mm to 80 mm, preferably from 25 mm to 60 mm. The

The main body of the outer packaging has in particular a length of 100 mm to 400 mm, preferably 120 mm to 350 mm. Furthermore, the basic outer packaging body has a width of in particular from 30 mm to 300 mm, preferably from 35 mm to 250 mm. Furthermore, the main body of the outer packaging has, in particular, a height of 80 mm to 400 mm, preferably 120 mm to 350 mm.

When producing the tray packaging, the first step is the

Packaging insert made. For this purpose, corrugated cardboard is / are unrolled and then longitudinal creases are made in the corrugated cardboard. The grooves later form in particular the edges of the packaging insert. Then the corrugated cardboard is cut to the right length. In particular, the corrugated cardboard is delivered on rolls in the correct width. The corrugated cardboard is then shaped and held with a stamp so that the packaging insert is created. Then the

Packaging insert placed in a shuttle, in which the packaging insert is kept in shape and filled manually or with a robot. In a second step, the main body of the outer packaging is formed. Then the filled

Packaging insert placed in the shoe element of the outer packaging base body. The packaging insert is held in shape by the shoe element, the

Packaging insert rests directly on the shoe element. The packaging insert is held and clamped in particular only by means of frictional engagement. However, fastening means for securing the packaging insert are also conceivable. The main body of the outer packaging is then closed. In particular, there are different variants of the basic outer packaging body. Especially with a separate Design of the shoe element and the hood element is the

Packaging insert inserted into the shoe element without the hood element.

In particular, the packaging insert can also only be fitted in the shoe element. The hood element is only then shaped and placed on the filled shoe element. Then the hood element with the

Shoe element connected, in particular by means of gluing.

The terms “axial” and “radial” in this context relate in particular to a main axis of extension of the electric brush handle, so that the

The term “axial” in particular denotes a direction which runs parallel or coaxially to one of the main axes of extent. Furthermore, the term “radial” denotes im

Following in particular a direction perpendicular to one of the

Main axes of extension runs. A “main axis of extension” of an object is to be understood in particular as an axis which runs parallel to a longest edge of a smallest geometric cuboid, which just completely surrounds the object and in particular intersects a geometric center point of the object.

Furthermore, the terms “top” or “front” of the toothbrush in this

Context can be understood in particular as that side of the toothbrush on which the thumb is placed. The top or front is usually the side on which the bristle field, in particular the brush head of the

Brush head, is directed. The “underside” or “backside” of the toothbrush should be understood to mean in particular that side that faces away from the bristle field of the brush head. Furthermore, the terms “left side” and “right side” are each related to viewing the front.

The holding means 24a is shown by way of example only in FIG. 4b, since the indentation is introduced in particular afterwards, after packaging, and is therefore only visible in a completely manufactured state. In principle, however, it would also be conceivable that the holding means 24a already when the

Hood element 36a, as shown in Figure 3a or 3b, is introduced. The

Holding means 24a is of a waist in the hood element 36a of the

Packaging base body 18a is formed. The brush product 12a is by means of

Holding means 24a pressed into a correct position. The brush product 12a is pressed against an inside of the packaging base body 18a by means of the holding means 24a. In principle, it would also be conceivable that several, in particular two or three, corresponding holding means 24a are provided. The holding means 24a is produced by two corresponding grooves in the packaging base body 18a (FIG. 4b).

In an alternative embodiment, the holding unit 22a also has a folding element 26a. The folding element 26a is made of solid cardboard. The folding element 26a is formed by a separate component different from the packaging base body 18a. The folding element 26a is made from a flat blank in which the folding options are already integrated in the form of grooves. The folding element 26a is formed by an insert for the packaging base body 18a. The folding element 26a has three areas, namely a first fastening area 76a in which the

Folding element 26a is connected to the packaging base body 18a, a fixing area 78a in which the folding element 26a is provided to fix the brush product 12a, and a second fastening area 80a in which the folding element 26a is connected to the packaging base body 18a. The fixing region 78a is arranged between the first fastening region 76a and the second fastening region 80a. The fixing region 78a of the folding element 26a forms an elevation. The fixing area 78a forms a gable roof-shaped elevation. Depending on the folding angle of the folding element 26a, different heights of the folding element 26a can be realized. The position for fixing the brush product 12a is variable. In particular, the position is dependent on a geometry of the receiving area 20a and a geometry of the

Brush product 12a. The brush product 12a is fixed, for example, in a neck region 30a of the brush product 12a (FIGS. 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e).

The folding element 26a is glued into the packaging base body 18a. The folding element 26a is flat with the two fastening areas 76a, 80a

Packaging base body 18a glued. The folding element 26a is glued to an inside of the packaging base body 18a on a base side of the hood element 36a. Furthermore, in a state arranged in the packaging base body 18a, the folding element 26a preferably has an approximately circular base area. The folding element 26a is mounted and folded in a state arranged in the packaging base body 18a. The folding element 26a, in particular a blank of the folding element 26a, has an egg-shaped outer shape in a flat state, the outer shape being designed in such a way that it is circular in a folded state Area results. A circular base area has the advantage that the folding element 26a can be arranged in one position in any orientation. Furthermore, the at least one folding element 26a in one in the

Packaging base body 18a arranged state has a maximum extension of 10 mm to 50 mm. An unfolded blank of the folding element 26a has a length of 20 mm to 50 mm, preferably 30 mm to 40 mm. Furthermore, the unfolded blank of the folding element 26a has a width of 10 mm to 30 mm, preferably 15 mm to 25 mm. In a folded, assembled state, the folding element 26a has a circular base area, the diameter of the base area being from 10 mm to 30 mm, preferably from 15 mm to 25 mm. A flea of the folding element 26a in a folded, assembled state is from 8 mm to 16 mm, preferably from 9 mm to 13 mm.

The folding element 26a forms a groove 28a for receiving a neck 30a of the brush product 12a. The folding element 26a forms a groove-shaped recess. The groove 28a is made in two surfaces of the folding element 26a. The groove 28a is made in two surfaces of the fixing region 78a of the folding element. To implement the groove 28a, two surfaces of the folding element 26a each have a recess, the recesses being connected to one another on at least one side. The

Recesses are approximately rectangular. The recesses taper conically from a free end, which provides better clamping. The recesses are trapezoidal. The resulting groove 28a has a width of 3 mm to 10 mm, preferably 3 mm to 6 mm, in a lower region. Furthermore, the groove 28a has a width of 4 mm to 15 mm, preferably of 5 mm to 10 mm, at a free, open end. The depth of the groove 28a, measured on the surface of the folding element 26a, is in particular from 3 mm to 12 mm, preferably from 5 mm to 10 mm.

Furthermore, the folding element 26a has an optional fixing section 32a, which is provided to hold the neck 30a of the brush product 12a against the

To clamp the packaging body 18a. The fixing section 32a is formed from a side contour of the fixing area 78a of the folding element 26a. The

Fixing section 32a, together with a side wall of the hood element 36a of the packaging base body 18a, forms a constriction in the receiving area 20a, in which the brush product 12a can be fixed. The fixing portion 32a serves in particular for an alternative fixation of the brush product 12a, for example if the neck 30a of the brush product 12a is positioned unfavorably or the groove 28a is too narrow for the corresponding neck 30a. The folding element 26a can therefore be used in particular for various brush products 12a (FIGS. 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e).

During the production of the brush product packaging device 10a, a blank of the card element 34a and the hood element 36a is produced in a first method step. The hood element 36a is then formed. A trough is formed from the flat blank of the hood element 36a. The shaped tub can optionally be glued and / or sealed. In addition, the folding element 26a of the holding unit 22a is introduced into the hood element 36a. Subsequently, the shaped tub is filled with the brush product 12a and in or with the

Folding element 26a fixed. The card element 34a is then placed on the filled trough of the hood element 36a. The card element 34a is sealed to the sealing edges 64a of the hood element 36a by means of heat sealing.

A tray packaging 54a is shown in FIGS. 12a to 12e. The tray packaging 54a is provided for receiving at least two, in particular a plurality of, brush product packaging devices 10a. The tray packaging 54a is provided, for example, to receive the brush product packaging device 10a, it also being possible for other brush product packaging devices to be received by the tray packaging 54a. The tray packaging 54a is formed by a secondary packaging, which is provided for a transport as well as for the presentation of a plurality of brush product packaging devices 10a.

The tray packaging 54a has an outer packaging base body 56a and a packaging insert 58a arranged in the outer packaging base body 56a

Positioning the brush product packaging devices 10a. The

Outer packaging base body 56a has a shoe element 60a for receiving the packaging insert 58a and a hood element 62a for closing the shoe element 60a. The shoe element 60a is formed by a cuboid that is open on one side. The shoe element 60a is designed as an open box. The shoe element 60a consists of a paper material. The shoe element 60a is made of corrugated cardboard. The front wall of the shoe element 60a is partially cut out in order to achieve better product presentation. Furthermore, the left, right and rear walls of the Shoe element 60a formed raised. The rear wall is high, while a height of the side walls of the shoe element 60a increases towards the rear. The walls have a height profile. The hood element 62a is in particular formed by a folded hood. The hood element 62a is formed by a cuboid open on one side. The hood element 62a is designed as an open box. The

Hood element 62a consists of a paper material. The hood element 62a is made of corrugated cardboard. The hood element 62a and the shoe element 60a are formed in one piece during manufacture and filling. The hood element 62a and the

Shoe elements 60a are designed as a cardboard box that is filled and / or introduced into a filled packaging insert 58a. The hood element 62a and the shoe element 60a can in particular be subsequently separated by a perforation 82a (FIGS. 12c, 12d, 12e).

Furthermore, the packaging insert 58a consists largely of a paper material. The packaging insert 58a is made from corrugated cardboard. The packaging insert 58a is made from a one-sided corrugated cardboard, that is, from a corrugated cardboard consisting of an outer cover and a corrugated layer. The corrugations of a corrugated layer of the corrugated cardboard of the packaging insert 58a are provided to each form a guide groove for the guide sections 42a, 42a 'of the brush product packaging devices 10a. Each corrugation valley of the corrugation layer of the packaging insert 58a forms a guide groove. The packaging insert 58a is therefore arranged so that the

Corrugated layer faces the brush product packaging devices 10a. The corrugated crests of the corrugated layer of the corrugated cardboard of the packaging insert 58a also extend in a packaging state parallel to a main plane of extension of the brush product packaging devices 10a. The wave spacing of the

Packaging insert 58a, that is from wave trough to wave trough or from wave crest to wave crest, is from 5 mm to 14 mm, preferably from 7.5 mm to 11 mm. The shaft spacing of the packaging insert 58a is exactly 9.13 mm. The height of the individual corrugation of the packaging insert 58a is from 2 mm to 10 mm, preferably from 3.5 mm to 8 mm, with the same height being provided for each pack and in particular also for all tray packaging 54a (FIGS. 12a, 12b) .

The packaging insert 58a is used to uniformly receive and present the brush product packaging devices 10a. The For this purpose, brush product packaging devices 10a are inserted into the packaging insert 58a. The packaging insert 58a serves to receive and guide the brush product packaging devices 10a in a defined manner in the tray packaging 54a. The packaging insert 58a is folded in a U-shape. The packaging insert 58a is U-shaped in a folded state. Furthermore, the packaging insert 58a has a flat base side 84a and two on opposite sides of the

Side parts 86a, 86a 'arranged on the base side 84a, which extend perpendicular to the base side 84a. The side parts 86a, 86a 'and the base side 84a are folded in one piece from one piece, in particular from a sheet of cardboard. The side parts 86a,

86a ’are used to accommodate and guide the guide sections 42a, 42a’ of the

Brush product packaging devices 10a are provided. It will ever be a

Guide section 42a, 42a 'of a brush product packaging device 10a each guided in a side part 86a, 86a' (FIGS. 12c, 12d).

The packaging insert 58a is in an inserted state by the

Outer packaging base body 56a held in the U-shape. The packaging insert 58a is only designed to be inserted into the shoe element 60a. A number of

Packaging inserts 58a in an outer packaging base body 56a can, however, in particular be different (FIG. 12c).

When the tray packaging 54a is positioned in a first step, the

Packaging insert 58a produced. For this purpose, corrugated cardboard is unrolled and then longitudinal creases are made in the corrugated cardboard. The grooves later form in particular the edges of the packaging insert 58a. Then the corrugated cardboard is cut to the right length. In particular, the corrugated cardboard is delivered on rolls in the correct width. The corrugated cardboard is then shaped and held with a punch, so that the packaging insert 58a is produced. Then the

Packing insert 58a placed in a shuttle in which the packing insert 58a is kept in shape and filled manually or with a robot. In a second step, the outer packaging base body 56a is formed. The filled packaging insert 58a is then placed in the shoe element 60a of the outer packaging base body 56a. The packaging insert 58a is held in shape by the shoe element 60a, the packaging insert 58a lying directly on the shoe element 60a.

The packaging insert 58a is held in particular only by means of frictional engagement and clamped. However, there are also fasteners to secure the

Packaging insert 58a conceivable. Then the outer packaging base body 56a is closed. In particular, there are different variants of the

Outer packaging base body 56a. In particular, if the shoe element 60a and the hood element 62a are configured separately, the packaging insert 58a is inserted into the shoe element 60a without the hood element 62a. In particular, the packaging insert 58a can also only be fitted in the shoe element 60a. The hood element 62a is only then shaped and placed on the filled

Put on shoe element 60a. The hood element 62a is then connected to the shoe element 60a, in particular by means of gluing.

FIGS. 6 to 9 show an alternative brush product packaging device 10b for receiving a brush product. The brush product packaging device 10b has a packaging base body 18b. The packaging base body 18b is provided to accommodate the essentially closed receiving area 20b for the

Train brush product. The packaging base body 18b is formed from a blank. The brush product packaging apparatus 10b is composed of

Packaging base body 18b. The packaging base body 18b is formed by a folded and glued box. The packaging base body 18b has a handle area 44b that receives the handle of the brush product and a head area 46b that receives the application head of the brush product (FIG. 6). The packaging base body 18b also has two opposite edges 38b, 38b ', which extend parallel to a main direction of extent 40b of the

Brush product packaging device 10b each extend a guide section 42b, 42b 'with a reduced depth. The guide sections 42b, 42b 'each have a reduced depth compared to the total depth. The basic packaging body 18b has straight, parallel outer edges in the guide sections 42b, 42b. The packaging body 18b is in the

Guide sections 42b, 42b 'each partially implemented in multiple layers. The

For this purpose, the basic packaging body 18b is each folded like a comb in the guide sections 42b, 42b '. The guide sections 42b, 42b 'are exclusively in one

Gripping area 44b of the packaging base body 18b is arranged.

The receiving area 20b of the brush product packaging device 10b has a perpendicular to the main direction of extent 40b in the grip area 44b

Cross-section which is substantially different from a cross-section of the receiving area 20b in the head area 46b. The receiving region 20b has a lens-shaped cross section in the grip region 44b perpendicular to the main direction of extent 40b. Furthermore, the receiving region 20b has in the head region 46b perpendicular to the

Main direction of extent 40b has a rectangular cross section. A cross section of the receiving area 20b perpendicular to the main direction of extent 40b merges almost continuously along the main direction of extent 40b from the head area 46b to the grip area 44b, from a rectangular cross section to a lens-shaped cross section. For this purpose, the packaging base body 18b has at least two converging edges 48b, 48b ", 48b", 48b "" which each extend essentially parallel to a main direction of extent 40b. The basic packaging body 18b has two converging edges 48b, 48b ", 48b", 48b "" on opposite sides, each of which extends essentially parallel to a main direction of extension 40b. The converging edges 48b, 48b ", 48b", 48b "" each extend over a substantial part of a main extension of the packaging base body 18b, the converging edges 48b, 48b ", 48b", 48b "" ending in the grip area 44b. The four converging edges 48b, 48b ', 48b', 48b '' form in the

Head area 46b each one of the four side edges of the rectangular cross section of the packaging base body 18b. The edges 48b, 48b ’, 48b”, 48b ’” des

Packaging base bodies 18a each converge to the guide section 42b, 42b ' down. The edges 48b, 48b ', 48b ”, 48b'” are tailored to the front and rear.

Between each of the two converging edges 48b, 48b ', 48b ", 48b" "there is a further folding edge which each extend essentially parallel to a main direction of extension 40b. The other folding edges each form the edges 38b, 38b 'of the guide sections 42b, 42b'.

The packaging base body 18b has a decreasing height profile from the

Front to back from top to bottom, with a wedge shape and an additional camber. The basic packaging body 18b is curved at the top and straight at the top and at the bottom on the front and back. A bottom of the

Packaging base body 18b has a curvature towards the top. Furthermore, the underside of the packaging base body 18b is slotted from the front to

Back, with one side up and the other down. A slot 88b brings stability. Erecting is also simplified by the slit 88b. Furthermore, grooves from left to right and grooves from front to back are provided on the underside. The upper side of the basic packaging body 18b has a straight, flat surface which forms a termination of the rectangular cross section. Furthermore, the packaging base body 18b has a euro-hole recess at an upper end. The euro-hole recess is made in an upwardly projecting tab 70b (FIGS. 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d, 7e, 7f).

It would also be conceivable that the packaging base body 18b has a plurality of auxiliary grooves 89b, which support the formation of the crown. The auxiliary grooves 89b are made on the front and the rear. The auxiliary grooves 89b preferably do not extend over the entire length of the basic packaging body. The

Auxiliary grooves 89b extend from an underside of the packaging base body 18b over part of the grip area 44b of the packaging base body 18b. The

Auxiliary grooves 89b extend at least substantially parallel to the

Main direction of extent 40b of the brush product packaging device 10b. The auxiliary grooves 89b optimally support the formation of a crown when they form part of the surface in the crowned part. The auxiliary grooves 89b are partially straight and partially curved. However, it would also be conceivable that the auxiliary grooves 89b are all curved or in a combination of straight and curved are shaped. The auxiliary grooves 89b are preferably formed on the respective surface symmetrically to the central longitudinal axis of the respective surface.

Furthermore, the packaging base body 18b has a transverse to the

Perforation strips 50b encircling the main extension direction 40b for opening the packaging base body 18b. The perforation strip 50b is as one

Tear perforation formed. The perforation strip 50b is formed by two perforations running parallel to one another. The perforation strip 50b extends circumferentially around a longitudinal axis of the packaging base body 18b. Furthermore, the perforation strip 50b is arranged in the grip area 44b of the packaging base body 18b. Furthermore, the perforation strip 50b has a tear-open tab 90b at one position, which creates a possibility of starting the tear-open.

The brush product packaging device 10b further has a holding unit 22b.

The holding unit 22b protrudes into the receiving area 20b and is provided to hold the brush product 12b in position relative to the receiving area 20b. The holding unit 22b is provided to hold the brush product 12b on the handle 16b in position relative to the receiving area 20b or to move the

introduced and formed in one piece with the packaging base body 18b. The holding means 24b is realized by shaping the packaging base body 18b. A fixation of a handle of the brush product in the handle area 44b can be achieved by the lens shape. The brush product is clamped in the grip area 44b without liner. The packaging base body 18b forms part of the holding unit 22b in the lens-shaped cross section.

Furthermore, the holding unit 22b has two further holding means 25b, 25b """which are formed from existing parts of the brush product packaging device 10b. The further holding means 25b, 25b "" are formed, for example, from dust flaps 68b of the packaging base body 18b. The dust flaps 68b are used to support the brush product 12b in the brush product packaging device 10b. The dust flaps 68b can therefore of the original function be misappropriated. This means that the dust flaps 68b are no longer used as dust flaps 68b but as holding means 25b, 25b "" by being folded into the receiving area 20b of the basic packaging body 18b. The holding means 25b, 25b "" fix the brush product 12b to a neck. In the embodiment, the dust tabs 68b are designed as holding means 25b, 25b “” ”of the holding unit 22b and are provided to hold the brush product 12b on a neck partially in position relative to the receiving area 20b (FIGS. 8a, 8b).

An unfolded blank of the folding element 26d has a length of 170 mm to 250 mm, preferably 190 mm to 220 mm. Furthermore, the unfolded blank of the folding element 26d has a width of 40 mm to 80 mm, preferably 55 mm to 70 mm. A fleas of the

Folding element 26d in a folded, assembled state corresponds to the fleas of the receiving area.

In the lowering position of the brush product packaging device 10d, a blank of the card element 34d and the leaf element 36d is produced in a first method step. The leaf element 36d is then formed. A tub is formed from the flat blank of the leaf element 36d. The shaped tub can optionally be glued and / or sealed. In addition, the folding element 26d of the holding unit 22d is introduced into the leaf element 36d. The folding element 26d can already be equipped with the brush product 12d and thus introduced, or the folding element 26d is introduced into the shaped tub and then filled with the brush product 12d. Then the card element 34d is placed on the filled tub of the leaf element 36d. The card element 34d is sealed to the sealing edges 64d of the leaf element 36d by means of industrial sealing. The figures 16a and 16b show cut-outs of an alternative brush product packaging device 10e for receiving a brush product 12e and an attachment brush or an interchangeable head. The brush product packaging device 10e is constructed in two parts, from a packaging base body 18e and a holding unit 22e. While the basic packaging body 18e forms the outer shell, the holding unit 22e is designed as an element to be inserted. The packaging base body 18e is provided to the essentially closed receiving area for the

Train brush product. The packaging base body 18e is formed from a blank. The packaging base body 18e is formed by a folded and glued box. The brush product packaging device 10e is formed by a cuboid cardboard box with a flap 70e with a euro-hole recess 72e. The brush product packaging device 10e has straight side surfaces at a right angle, the tab 70e with the euro-hole recess 72e being provided in an upper region. A width, height and length are therefore constant. The

Brush product packaging device 10e has a length with tab 70e of 100 mm to 260 mm, preferably 140 mm to 240 mm. Without the tab 70e, the length is from 75 mm to 235 mm, preferably from 115 mm to 215 mm. A width of the brush product packaging device 10e is from 25 mm to 90 mm, preferably from 35 mm to 75 mm. An amount of

The overall brush product packaging device 10e is particularly from 8 mm to 35 mm, preferably from 12 mm to 25 mm.

In the case shown, the packaging base body 18e has a viewing window 106e.

This structure of the packaging base body 18e is matched to the shape of the holding unit 22e so that the brush product 12e is optimally presented in the viewing window 106e.

The holding unit 22e is formed separately and creates an internal geometry that is pushed into the packaging base body 18e. The holding unit 22e can contain elements for holding a brush product 12e - which is presented, for example, in a viewing window of the packaging base body 18e. The

Holding unit 22e contain elements to hold accessories or spare parts such as

To hold brush heads. The holding unit 22e is already equipped with the products before being pushed into the packaging base body 18e. In Figure 16c, the two blanks shown in Figures 16a and 16c are shown in a prepared, erected and equipped form. The holding unit 22e is already equipped with the brush product 12e and an attachment brush / replaceable head 1 18e. It can be seen that the interchangeable head 118e is inserted into a shaped recess 108e. The brush product 12e is laid out and also in two

Recesses introduced. In the present case, when the holding unit 22e is inserted into the packaging base body 18e, the brush product 12e rests partly on the holding unit 22e and partly on the packaging base body 18e. For folding the brush product 12e, the holding unit 22e has a flap 110e to be folded several times in the extension of the longitudinal axis of the brush product 12e on the side of the brush head. This tab 110e forms a stopper which prevents the brush product 12e from sliding back and forth in the direction of the longitudinal axis. In the finished state, the tab 110e rests on the one hand on the holding unit 22e and on the other hand on the basic packaging body 18e.

During the filling position and filling of the brush product packaging device 10e, a pre-glued casing is purchased which can be filled manually or automatically. The folding flaps at the top and bottom of the brush product packaging device 10e can in particular be both inserted and glued. In a first step, the casing is erected and the lower end is closed. The casing is then filled with the holding unit 22e and closed at the top. It is closed manually by snapping in or plugging in or by gluing the folding flap. Depending on the process, the orientation of the brush product packaging device 10e and the order of closing can be different.

FIG. 17 shows a blank of an alternative

Brush product packaging device 10f for receiving a brush product 12f. The brush product packaging device 10f is constructed in one piece, the blank forms both a packaging base body 18f and a holding unit 22f. The packaging base body 18f and the holding unit 22f are formed in one piece.

The holding unit 22f is formed by a right part of the blank. To do this, it is folded and a side flap is glued to the back. The left part of the blank is then placed over the already glued geometry. This creates a receiving area for a brush product 12f, which is located directly in the area of the The viewing window of the basic packaging body 18f is located. In addition, a cavity is formed in parallel, which can remain empty or serve as a receptacle for further products / parts.

The brush product packaging device 10f has a length with a tab 70f of 100 mm to 260 mm, preferably 140 mm to 240 mm.

The holding unit 22f can contain elements in order to keep the brush product 12f in an optimal position. A recess is designed to hold the product. The brush product 12f is in the present case when it is in the

Brush product packaging apparatus 10f is introduced at different levels of the packaging apparatus. The holding unit 22f has to hold the brush product 12f in the extension of the longitudinal axis of the brush product 12f on the side of the

Brush head formed a multiple fold to flap 1 12f. This tab 112f forms a stopper which prevents the brush product 12f from sliding back and forth in the direction of the longitudinal axis. In the finished state, the tab 112f rests on the one hand on the holding unit 22f and on the other on the outer wall.

During the manufacture and filling of the brush product packaging device 10f, a pre-glued casing is purchased which can be filled manually or automatically. The folding flaps at the top and bottom of the brush product packaging device 10f can, in particular, be both inserted and glued. In a first process step, the casing with the integrated holding unit 22f is erected and the lower end is closed. The envelope is then filled and sealed at the top. One

Closing is done manually by snapping in or plugging in or by gluing the folding flap. Depending on the process, the orientation of the Brush product packaging device 10f and the order of closing may be different.

In FIGS. 18a and 18b, the brush product packaging device 10e is shown, which is visually identical for the structure according to FIGS. 16a to c and 17. FIGS. 18a and 18b are described by way of example using the exemplary embodiment in FIGS. 16a to 16c, the description basically also being based on the

Embodiment of Figure 17 is applicable. The

Brush product packaging device 10e is formed as a rectangular cardboard box. The brush product packaging device 10e is formed by a cuboid cardboard box with a flap 70e with a euro-hole recess 72e. The brush product packaging device 10e has straight side surfaces at a right angle, the tab 70e with the euro-hole recess 72e being provided in an upper region. A width, fleas and length is therefore constant.

Figures 19a and 19b show a blank of an alternative

Brush product packaging device 10g for receiving a brush product 12g, in particular an electric toothbrush, an attachment brush, a charging station and an instruction manual 122g. The brush product packaging device 10g is constructed in two parts, from a packaging base body 18g and a holding unit 22g. While the basic packaging body 18g forms the outer shell, the holding unit 22g is designed as an element to be inserted. The packaging base body 18g is provided to the essentially closed receiving area for the

Form brush product 12g. The packaging base body 18g is made of one

Formed blank. The packaging base body 18g is formed by a folded and glued box. The brush product packaging device 10g is formed by a cuboid cardboard box with a flap 70g with a euro hole recess 72g. The brush product packaging device 10g has straight side surfaces at a right angle, the tab 70g with the euro-hole recess 72g being provided in an upper region. A width, fleas and length is therefore constant. The packaging can be designed with or without a viewing window.

The holding unit 22g is formed separately and creates an internal geometry that is pushed into the packaging base body 18g. The holding unit 22g may include elements for holding a brush product 12g and other contained parts. The Holding unit 22g is already fitted with the products before being pushed into the packaging base body 18g.

The holding unit 22g can contain a slot-shaped, circular segment arc-shaped recess 114g which is used to hold the instruction manual 122g. The

Instructions for use 122g is accordingly with one corner in the slot-shaped

Recess 1 14g introduced and kept in the box. Another recess 116g is shaped to receive an attachment brush 120g. The recess 1 16g is designed over a folded edge so that the brush head 120g or its

The bristle field protrudes into the shoulder created by the edge and is therefore exposed and cannot be damaged. The recesses 1 14g, 1 16g for the

Instructions for use 122g and for the brush attachment 120g are preferably located on the same side of the holding unit 22g, in particular even in the same area of the holding unit 22g. Next is used for holding the hand part of the electric

Brush product 12g formed a larger recess. This recess is formed by folded edges in the holding unit 22g, so that the handle is clamped by means of the sides of the recess, with further clamping being created in the longitudinal direction by re-entrant edges. So that becomes

Brush product 12g held optimally. The charger is then simply inserted into the corresponding shaped empty space behind the instructions for use and not fixed any further.

In FIG. 19c the blank of the holding unit 22g shown in FIG. 19b is shown in a prepared, erected and equipped form, and the blank from FIG. 19a is shown in an erect, prepared form. The holding unit 22g is already equipped with the brush product 12g and a brush head. Next is one

Instructions for use 122g tucked into a surface. The brush product 12g is clamped between two folded planes so that it is held securely in the packaging and does not slip during transport. The charging station is in

Inserted space behind the instruction manual 122g. Overall, a very compact brush product packaging device 10g is created in this way. Due to this compactness, the center of gravity of the packaging is shifted downwards, whereby the stability is massively improved. That means the product is relatively stable on the short side. Of course, the brush packaging device 10g from FIGS. 19a to 19c can also be equipped with one or more viewing windows so that the product can be seen. Furthermore, it is also possible to lengthen the packaging and to attach the brush attachment 120g directly to the handle of the brush product 12g. This would make the recess for the brush product 12g superfluous.

The descriptions made for specific figures can of course also be transferred to other figures which show the same or similar characteristics and in which the characteristics are not described in the same detail.

Of course, the design variants shown in this document are exemplary. In the context of the invention, the individual characteristics and

Elements of these design variants can be combined with other design variants without departing from the scope of this invention.
