Description

The invention relates to a cuff-shaped outer part formed from a blank for encasing a cup-shaped inner container and a combination packaging container formed from the inner container and the outer part. However, the invention also relates to a method for separating the combination packaging container into its inner container and the outer part by separating the desired separation area.

The WO 2009/130043 A1 describes, among other things, a sleeve-shaped outer part to form a combination packaging container. The outer part is formed from a blank by erecting and interconnecting ends in an overlap area. Furthermore, an actuating means for separating a desired separation region is provided, which is arranged between the two end regions which are spaced apart from one another in the axial direction. The actuating means is formed by an opening extending up to the overlap area, with the long side of the overlapping end forming the detection section. In a further exemplary embodiment, an actuation tab which can be removed from the casing in a U-shaped circumferential line is provided, in which the weakening line delimiting the actuation tab ends on the long side of the overlapping end. This training has proven itself in principle, but it was not possible to achieve a perfect separation of the desired separation area adjoining the actuating means in all applications.

From the EP 2 338 804 B1 is a packaging container with a first container part having a container base and a container wall extending from the container base in the direction of a container edge and a second container part reinforcing the container wall in the form of a sleeve which is releasably connected to the first container part and rests at least partially on the outer surface of the container wall , known.

The second container part has a weakening line running from an upper edge of the second container part facing the container edge towards a lower edge of the second container part facing the container bottom. The second container part is can be detached from the first container part by cutting the second container part along the line of weakness. The second container part further has a gripping area that can be gripped manually to cut through the second container part, from which the second container part can be detached from the first container part. The weakening line has an engagement section delimiting the gripping area with a reinforced weakening and/or a cutting line, which forms the starting section for the severing of the second container part along the weakening line. Furthermore, an access area is provided which is adjacent to the gripping area and is located on the side of the weakening line opposite the gripping area and has two predetermined dividing lines which run transversely to the weakening line and which end on one side in the engagement section of the weakening line. This ensures that the access area remains firmly connected to that edge area of the second container part that does not have the gripping area after separation along the desired separation lines and the engagement section. Here too, it was not possible to achieve a perfect separation of the target separation area adjoining the gripping area in all applications.

The object of the present invention was to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a cuff-shaped outer part and a combination packaging container comprising a cup-shaped inner container with a cuff-shaped outer part surrounding it, by means of which a user is able to safely and, above all, to be able to carry out a consistent separation of the target separation area. Furthermore, a method for separating the target separation area and the subsequent separation of its outer part and inner container should also be created.

This object is achieved by a cuff-shaped outer part and a combination packaging container comprising a cup-shaped inner container and a cuff-shaped outer part designed in this way according to the claims.

The cuff-shaped outer part according to the invention serves to encase a cup-shaped inner container to form a combination packaging container,

• wherein the inner container has a container jacket which is designed to taper conically from an open end towards an end closed with a bottom,
• wherein the outer part is formed from a blank, which blank in its is wound into a jacket in the erected state and a first end section and a second end section of the jacket facing it are connected to one another in an overlap area,
• wherein the outer part further has a first end face and a second end face and the two end faces are spaced apart from one another and define an overall height of the jacket in the erected state, and the first end face is facing the floor and the second end face is facing the open end of the inner container,
• wherein at least one predetermined separation area formed in the jacket of the outer part is provided, which predetermined separation area has a first separation section and a second separation section, each with a plurality of predetermined separation points arranged one behind the other, in particular perforations or cuts, and an actuating means located in the direction of the overall height between the two end faces for separating the predetermined separation area along the two separating sections located on both sides of the actuating means,
• wherein the two separating sections of the desired separating area are aligned towards one another as viewed in the direction of the overall height of the jacket,
• wherein the actuating means defines a detection section with a first detection section end and a second detection section end,
• wherein the two detection section ends are arranged at a distance from one another as viewed in the direction of the overall height of the jacket, and
• wherein the detection section of the actuating means is arranged or formed outside the overlap area, and wherein is further provided
• that the detection section of the actuating means, viewed in the circumferential direction, is arranged or designed to be laterally spaced apart from it by an offset with respect to the separating sections of the desired separation area which are aligned towards one another and an imaginary straight connecting line between them,
• that the first detection section end of the detection section extends over an adjacent first end of the first separation section on the side facing away from the second separation section,
• that a first desired separation section is formed in the jacket of the outer part, viewed in the circumferential direction of the jacket, between the first detection section end and the first end of the first separation section,
• that the second detection section end of the detection section is an adjacent second end of the second separation section on the first separation section the side facing away,
• that a second desired separation section is formed in the casing of the outer part, viewed in the circumferential direction of the casing, between the second detection section end and the second end of the second separation section, and
• that the two desired separation sections each form a starting section for the separation of the two separation sections of the desired separation area when the actuating means is actuated.

The advantage achieved in this way is that due to the lateral offset of the detection section, which extends in the circumferential direction of the casing, with respect to the separating sections which are aligned towards one another and are largely located on both sides and the ends which also overlap one another in the axial direction, each side of the actuating means has its own desired separating section Jacket of the outer part is created. This means that the desired separation section is formed in the jacket and thus in the material of the outer part between the respective detection section end and the respective end of the separating section, with a tearing force acting approximately in the tangential direction with respect to the longitudinal axis and/or in the circumferential direction when the detection section is actuated and detected each of the target separation sections is exercised. This actuating force, which is applied at least in the tangential direction and optionally additionally in the radial direction, causes the two predetermined separation sections to be separated, with a directed further separation of the separating sections located on both sides of the detection section taking place along their predetermined separation points in the direction of the two end faces of the jacket. This ensures a directed redirection of the tearing process starting from the respective target separation section towards the two separation sections extending in the direction of the overall height. Furthermore, this also makes it easier to grasp the detection section on the side of the outer part facing the inner container, since the actuating means with its detection section can be pulled further away from the inner container in the radial direction due to the tear direction of the two desired separation sections, which extends essentially in the circumferential direction. The further tearing process and thus the separation of the two separating sections then takes place successively starting from the end facing the detection section towards the two end faces of the outer part that are spaced apart from one another in the axial direction or the overall height.

Furthermore, it can be advantageous if the detection section of the actuating means is formed by a cutting line that completely penetrates the jacket. This saves the user an additional separation process in the area of the jacket and he can grab the detection section directly in the area of the cutting line and begin the separation process for the subsequent separate disposal of the inner container and outer part.

Another embodiment is characterized in that the cutting line has a straight longitudinal course. This creates the possibility for the user to be able to capture the capture section at any point in order to be able to initiate the start of the breakdown.

Another possible embodiment has the features that the cutting line has a curved longitudinal course, in particular an arcuately curved longitudinal course. This means that depending on the curvature, namely convex or concave, the gripping of the detection section can be designed more individually.

A further embodiment provides that the actuating means comprises a breakthrough that completely penetrates the casing, which breakthrough is arranged on the side of the detection section facing away from the overlap area and immediately adjacent to the detection section. By providing an additional opening following the detection section, the actuating means can be made even more visible and visually easier to recognize.

Another embodiment is characterized in that the actuating means is arranged approximately centrally between the two end faces which are spaced apart from one another in the direction of the overall height. The central arrangement means that a central point of attack can be provided in the direction of the entire height or longitudinal extent. This means that the outer part can be separated evenly in both directions.

A further preferred embodiment is characterized in that first predetermined separation points of the two separation sections, which are each arranged immediately adjacent to the two detection section ends of the detection section, each have a direction on their side facing away from the detection section that runs in a parallel direction with respect to the imaginary connecting line between the two separation sections first longitudinal course and each have a second longitudinal course oriented in the direction of the detection section on its side facing the detection section. Due to the specially designed longitudinal course of the first predetermined separation points, an even more directed separation of the predetermined separation sections between the detection section and the respective ends of the separation sections can be achieved. The second longitudinal course of the first predetermined separation point, which is oriented in the direction of the detection section, creates an even more directed and even better defined tear direction.

Furthermore, it can be advantageous if the second longitudinal course is designed to be curved in an arc and/or is aligned at an angle with respect to the first longitudinal course. This achieves an even better directed deflection of the tearing process from the respective target separation sections to the two separation sections.

Another alternative embodiment is characterized in that second predetermined separation points and/or third predetermined separation points of the two separation sections, which are each arranged adjacent to the first predetermined separation points and on the side facing away from the actuating means, have an orientation that runs at an angle to the imaginary connecting line. The angularly aligned further predetermined separation points can facilitate and improve the separation process between immediately adjacent predetermined separation points.

A further possible and possibly alternative embodiment has the features that the angular alignment of the second predetermined separation points and/or third predetermined separation points of the first separation section and the second separation section is selected such that they are each aligned towards one another on the side facing away from the actuating means. Due to the angular alignment of the further predetermined separation points of corresponding predetermined separation points of the two separation sections, which converge towards one another, the separation behavior in the area of the predetermined separation section can be made even safer.

A further embodiment provides that an angle included by the second predetermined separation points of the first and second separation sections or an angle included by the third predetermined separation points of the first and second separation sections is designed differently from one another starting from the actuating means towards the respective end faces.

Due to the included angles selected to be different from one another, the tearing behavior can be significantly improved even as the separation process progresses between immediately adjacent desired separation points.

Another embodiment is characterized in that the included angle, starting from the actuating means towards the respective end faces, is increasingly and therefore larger. The changing and increasing included angle defines an approximately constant separating force over the entire opening path.

A further preferred embodiment is characterized in that the desired separation area is arranged or formed in the first end section and the first end section is on the inside in the overlap area and is overlapped on the outside by the second end section. This means that the desired separation area can be arranged to run directly adjacent to the overlapping longitudinal edge of the second end section located on the outside. By covering the second end region, an even more secure separation of the target separation region can be achieved due to the more stable overlap region.

Furthermore, it can be advantageous if the desired separation region is arranged to run in a parallel direction with respect to a longitudinal edge of the overlapping outer second end section. The desired separation area can thus be arranged immediately adjacent to the longitudinal edge of the overlapping, external second end section. In this way, a protective effect for the desired separation area can be achieved and, in addition, unintentional separation can be largely prevented.

Another embodiment is characterized in that the desired separation region is arranged or formed in the first end section and the first end section is arranged on the outside in the overlap region and the second end section is arranged on the inside and is overlapped by the first end section on the outside. By arranging the desired separation area on the outside in the overlap area, gripping and detecting the detection section of the actuating means can be made easier due to the slight distance from the container wall.

Another possible embodiment has the features that the predetermined separation area is in a parallel direction with respect to a longitudinal edge of the overlapped inner second end section is arranged running. This means that the covered longitudinal edge underneath can serve as support and reinforcement for the separation process of the target separation area.

A further embodiment provides that the desired separation area is arranged or formed outside the overlap area. This means that, depending on the overlap arrangement of the mutually facing end sections, a safe tearing process can always be guaranteed.

Another embodiment is characterized in that the blank is made from a cellulose material. This means that, on the one hand, the printing and visual design of the inner container covered with the sleeve-shaped outer part can be improved and, on the other hand, the amount of plastic material that has to be disposed of can be reduced.

A further preferred embodiment is characterized in that the cellulose material is formed from a recycled material. This allows raw material resources to be saved. In addition, in conjunction with the target separation sections adjoining the detection section and the two separating sections adjoining them, a safe and consistent separation process of the target separation area can also be made possible when using cellulose recycled materials. Otherwise, the continuous separation process is not possible completely and consistently when using recycled materials due to the shorter fiber lengths.

The invention also relates to a combination packaging container comprising a cup-shaped inner container with a container jacket, a base, a flange and a cuff-shaped outer part designed according to the invention which at least partially surrounds the inner container on its container jacket.

This creates a combination packaging container that can be separated into the inner container and the outer part even more easily and, above all, more safely after use. Even after the separation process of the intended separation area, the outer part forms a coherent piece, which can be easily and, above all, in one piece and sent for proper disposal and collection of recyclables.

Another possible embodiment of the combination packaging container has the features that the outer part also has a folded edge on its end section facing the flange that is folded inwards towards the container jacket and the inner container has an inwardly offset wall section, which wall section is immediately adjacent to the flange in the container jacket is arranged or designed and defines a receiving space in which receiving space the folded edge is received, and that the inner container has a shoulder on the bottom side, on which shoulder the outer part is supported. This means that, in addition to the mechanical support effect on the bottom, a form-fitting holder can also be created between the folded edge of the outer part and the receiving space that is offset inwards in the direction of the longitudinal axis.

The object of the invention is also achieved by a method for separating an outer part equipped with the desired separation area designed according to the invention from an inner container, which together form the combination packaging container, in that the separation process of the desired separation area is carried out in such a way that one in the direction of The compressive force -F- directed at the combination packaging container is applied and at least the container jacket of the combination packaging container is spatially reshaped and the applied compressive force -F- is at least partially converted by the spatial deformation into a separation force that at least partially separates the target separation area.

The applied pressure force -F- leads to at least a spatial deformation of the container jacket, whereby the pressure force is at least partially transferred from the inner container to the outer part and/or deflected onto it. In this way, depending on the orientation of the pressure force, the target separation area is acted upon by a separation force acting in the radial direction and/or in the circumferential direction and the separation process of the target separation region is carried out at least partially, but preferably continuously, over the entire height or length of the outer part in the direction of the target separation region . For the person who is supposed to carry out the separation process, there is no need to search for and find the actuating means for the desired separation area and the subsequent tearing process.

Furthermore, a procedure is advantageous in which the combination packaging container rests on a support surface either with its closed end or with its open end of the inner container turned off and then the pressure force -F- is exerted on the end facing away from the support surface in the direction of the support surface. Depending on the arrangement and setup of the combination packaging container, the pressure force can easily be applied to the combination packaging container and introduced into it, for example with human strength. The risk of injury can be minimized with the arrangement in which the pressure force is applied to the floor.

A further advantageous procedure is characterized in that the compressive force -F- is exerted on the combination packaging container in a parallel orientation with respect to a longitudinal axis extending between the open end and the closed end or in an orientation at an angle to the longitudinal axis. This means that when the force is introduced in parallel, the compressive force can be easily diverted into a tearing force acting in a predominantly radial direction, at least to a large extent, which leads to the outer part bursting open along the desired separation area. If the force introduction direction deviates from this, the spatial deformation can also cause the desired separation area to be separated.

A method variant is also advantageous in which the compressive force -F- is applied to the combination packaging container by means of a pressing device. With this procedure, the user of the combination packaging container can be spared the separation process and the associated separation of the outer part from the inner container.

For a better understanding of the invention, it will be explained in more detail using the following figures.

As an introduction, it should be noted that in the differently described embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numbers or the same component names, whereby the disclosures contained in the entire description can be transferred analogously to the same parts with the same reference numbers or the same component names. The position information selected in the description, such as top, bottom, side, etc., is also related to the figure directly described and shown and, in the event of a change in position, these position information must be transferred accordingly to the new position.

The term “in particular” is understood below to mean that it can be a possible more specific training or more detailed specification of an object or a process step, but does not necessarily have to represent a mandatory, preferred embodiment of the same or a mandatory procedure.

In the Fig. 1 to 3 a combination packaging container 1 is shown as an example for a variety of possible different shapes, the combination packaging containers 1 being cup-shaped or bowl-shaped. The combination packaging container 1 comprises a cup-shaped or bowl-shaped inner container 2 with a base 3 and a container jacket 4. The inner container 2 also has an open end 5 on its side facing away from the base 3, with a in the area of its open end 5 Container jacket 4 outwardly projecting flange 6 can be provided. The bottom 3 forms a closed end 7 for the container jacket 4.

The inner container 2 is preferably formed by a component produced in a deep-drawing process, which can be produced quickly and, above all, in a short cycle time. The process of deep drawing is well known and will therefore not be discussed in more detail. The deep-drawing process is particularly suitable for producing the inner container 2 with a sufficient wall thickness from a layer to be formed made of a formable material using a deep-drawing tool, which ensures tightness during storage, use and even disposal. This manufacturing process allows relatively thin wall thicknesses of the inner container 2 to be manufactured.

Due to the cup or bowl-shaped design of the inner container 2, a longitudinal axis 8 extends in the axial direction between the open end 5 and the end 7 closed with the base 3, which can also represent a central axis if it is symmetrical. In the area of the flange 6 it is possible to arrange or connect a sealing plate (not shown in detail) with it. In this case, the flange 6 forms a sealing flange.

In the axial direction and thus in the direction of the longitudinal axis 8, the inner container 2 has a container height 9 between its open end 5, in particular the flange 6, and the base 3, whereby the holding volume of the inner container 2 is determined depending on the cross-sectional dimensions. A receiving space for the inner container 2 is thus defined by the container height 9 in conjunction with the cross-sectional dimensions.

The container jacket 4 is understood to be that section of the inner container 2 which extends between the open end 5, in particular the flange 6, and the base 3 in a predominantly axial direction. The inner container 2 with its container jacket 4 is preferred designed in such a way that it preferably tapers conically starting from the open end towards the bottom.

Furthermore, the container jacket 4 of the inner container 2 can have a backing 10 in its peripheral section adjacent to the base 3. The backing 10 is also part of the container jacket 4, but when viewed in axial section it is arranged offset inwards relative to an imaginary, straight connecting line between the flange 6 and the base 3. The backing 10 in turn has at least two backing wall sections, which are not specified in more detail, the two backing wall sections, seen in axial section, having a different inclination or direction with respect to the longitudinal axis 8 than the rest of the container jacket 4. The backing 10, compared to the in Seen in axial section, the straight-line arrangement of the container jacket 4 between the flange 6 and the base 3 is arranged inwards and thus offset in the direction of the receiving space.

Seen in axial section, the first back-draft wall section directly adjoining the base 3 is arranged or designed to extend predominantly in the direction of the container height 9 towards the open end 5. The further rear wall section extends in a predominantly vertical direction with respect to the container height 9, starting from the end of the first rear wall section facing away from the bottom 3 towards the container jacket 4. In the present exemplary embodiment, the further rear wall section forms a stacking shoulder. This stacking shoulder serves to ensure that a similar combination packaging container 1 with its base 3, in particular the edge-side transition section between the base 3 and the container jacket 4, can be supported on it.

Furthermore, the inner container 2 can have a shoulder 11 or a bead projecting onto the side facing away from the longitudinal axis 8 in the immediate transition area between the bottom 3 and the container jacket 4, in particular between the bottom 3 and the backing.

The combination packaging container 1 further comprises an outer part 12, which is sleeve-shaped or jacket-shaped and surrounds the inner container 2 in the area of its container jacket 4 at least in sections or areas.

The previously described shoulder 11 can, for example, serve to hold the cuff-shaped outer part 12 in a locked manner on the inner container 2. In this case, the cuff-shaped outer part 12 is supported with its first end face 19 facing the bottom 3 of the inner container 2 on this shoulder 11 formed in the transition region. The shoulder 11 can therefore also be referred to as a locking means for holding the outer part 12 on the inner container 2. A further locking means in the area of the open end 5 can, for example, be the flange 6. Furthermore, the cuff-shaped outer part 12 comprises a second end face 20, which in turn faces the open end 5 or the flange 6.

The cuff-shaped outer part 12 is preferably formed from a cellulose material, such as a cardboard material, with sufficient strength with regard to the absorption and transmission of, in particular, axially acting compressive forces and is wound from a flat blank 13 into a jacket, as is already well known . The blank 13 is usually printed in its undeformed flat position and, if necessary, provided with an additional coating. A cellulose material is usually used as the material, although this can also be cardboard or strong paper produced using a recycling process. If a layer or layer of the outer part 12 is formed from a recycled material, an additional layer made of a higher quality paper can be arranged on or connected to at least one of the surfaces. This additional layer is used for flawless printing to produce decorations, labels and product information.

The cuff-like or jacket-like outer part 12 leads to an additional reinforcing or stiffening effect of the inner container 2 and thus of the entire combination packaging container 1.

This ensures, on the one hand, high strength and good thermal insulation and, on the other hand, optimal light protection for the contents of the packaging container.

In particular, it can also be provided that the cardboard is additionally coated or sealed with a water-repellent material in the area of the cut edges. This is particularly advantageous when the combination packaging containers 1 are exposed to increased moisture. Through the coating used for the outer part 12 Cardboard boxes with a water-repellent layer prevent the box from swelling in a humid environment and ultimately from detaching from the container jacket 4 of the combination packaging container 1.

The cuff-shaped outer part 12 is wound from the mostly flat blank 13 into a jacket. By winding the blank, mutually facing end sections 14, 15 are then connected to one another in an overlap area 16, shown in simplified form. This is done by a so-called overlap seam, by means of which the first end section 14 and the second end section 15 adhere to one another, for example by means of an adhesive. The winding and subsequent connection of the two end sections 14, 15 can be carried out, for example, by gluing, as is already well known from the prior art. As an example, here is the EP 0 408 515 B1 pointed out or referred to. The first end section 14 of the blank 13 ends with a first longitudinal edge 17 and the second end section 15 in turn ends with a second longitudinal edge 18. In the overlap area 16, the two longitudinal edges 17, 18 run approximately parallel to one another, with the overlap area 16 in between when viewed in the circumferential direction an overlap width is formed.

The outer part 12 further has the first end face 19 and the second end face 20, the two end faces 19, 20 being spaced apart from one another and defining a height 21 of the jacket in the erected state. The previously described longitudinal axis 8 can also define the common longitudinal axis for the outer part 12, in particular when the outer part 12 is in its mounted position on the inner container 2. In most cases, the overall height 21 of the jacket is slightly lower than the container height 9 of the inner container 2 in the same spatial direction - namely in the direction of the longitudinal axis 8.

In order to enable a defined separation and associated subsequent separate disposal of the inner container 2 and outer part 12 for a consumer, at least one predetermined separation area 22 formed in the jacket of the outer part 12 is provided. The predetermined separation area 22 here comprises a first separation section 23, a second separation section 24 and an actuating means 25 for the start and beginning of the cutting process of the predetermined separation area 22 along the two separation sections 23, 24. The actuation means 25 is seen in the direction of the overall height 21 of the jacket between the arranged on both end faces 19, 20. It is advantageous if the actuating means 25 is approximately centered between the is arranged on both end faces 19, 20 which are spaced apart from one another in the direction of the overall height 21, this essentially corresponding to half the overall height 21. For the actuating means 25, the indication “centre” refers to half the dimension in the direction of the overall height 21 or the longitudinal axis 8. The two separating sections 23, 24 are provided on both sides of the actuating means 25 and each extend in the direction of the respective end face 19, 20.

Seen in the direction of the overall height 21 of the jacket, the two separating sections 23, 24 of the desired separation area 22 are each aligned towards one another from the two end faces 19, 20 and thus define an imaginary, straight connecting line 26 between them, which is shown in dashed lines. The converging alignment of the two separating sections 23, 24 is in the direction of the actuating means 25. The two separating sections 23, 24 can either be aligned with one another as seen in the direction of the overall height 21 of the jacket or can also run slightly inclined with respect to the first longitudinal edge 17 in the direction of the actuating means 25 located between them. Due to this slight inclination, the separation process can be further improved after the two separation sections 23, 24 have been separated towards the two end faces 19, 20.

Depending on the design of the intended separation points, which will be described in more detail later, the imaginary connecting line 26 is assumed to run in a middle of the intended separation points. The actuating means 25 in turn defines a detection section 27 with a first detection section end 28 spaced apart from one another in the direction of the overall height 21 and a second detection section end 29. The two detection section ends 28, 29 are thus seen in the direction of the overall height 21 of the jacket arranged at a distance of 30 from each other or end there. Furthermore, it can be seen that the detection section 27 of the actuating means 25 is arranged or formed outside the overlap area 16.

An arrangement of the actuating means 25 is provided here, in which the detection section 27, viewed in the circumferential direction, is arranged or designed to be laterally spaced apart from it by an offset 31 with respect to the separating sections 23, 24 of the desired separation region 22 which are aligned towards one another and the straight connecting line 26 imaginary between them. The offset 31 may have a value selected from one Value range with a lower limit of 1.0mm and an upper limit of 10.0mm. The range of values can preferably have a lower limit of 2.0mm and an upper limit of 6.0mm.

The first separating section 23 in turn has a first end 32 facing the actuating means 25, the second separating section 24 having a second end 33 facing the actuating means 25. In the area of the imaginary connecting line 26 between the two ends 32, 33, the jacket is designed to be uninterrupted due to the intended lateral offset 31 of the actuating means 25. The arrangement of the two ends 32, 33 of the separating sections 23, 24, which are spaced apart in the direction of the overall height 21, with respect to the detection section 27 forming the actuating means 25 is selected such that the first detection section end 28 of the detection section 27 is the adjacent first end 32 of the first Separating section 23 extends to the side facing away from the second separating section 24. Due to the lateral offset 31 of the detection section 27 to the side facing away from the overlap area 16, a first predetermined separation section 34, viewed in the circumferential direction, is formed in the jacket of the outer part 12 between the first detection section end 28 and the first end 32 of the first separation section 23.

It is also provided that the second detection section end 29 of the detection section 27 overlaps the adjacent second end 33 of the second separating section 24 on the side facing away from the first separating section 23. This means that, analogous to the first predetermined separation section 34, a second predetermined separation section 35 is also formed in the casing of the outer part 12 between the second detection section end 29 and the second end 33 of the second separation section 24, viewed in the circumferential direction. The two desired separation sections 34, 35 are formed by the reduced dimension of the jacket material between the respective detection section end 28 or 29 and the respective end 32 or 33. The two ends 32 and 33 of the separating sections 23, 24 are arranged closer to one another than the two detection section ends 28 and 29, which are spaced apart by the distance 30.

This makes it possible for a user of the combination packaging container 1 to detect the actuating means 25 with its detection section 27, then the two predetermined separation sections 34 35 starting from the detection section 27 up to the respective ends 32, 33 of the two separating sections 23, 24 and subsequently separating the two separating sections 23, 24 until the jacket is completely severed. This means that the outer part 12 can simply be separated from the inner container 2 and disposed of according to type. The two desired separation sections 34, 35 each form starting sections for the separation of the two separation sections 23, 24.

Each of the two separating sections 23, 24 comprises a plurality of intended separating points arranged in a row one behind the other, which are usually designed as perforations, in particular also as short cuts, in the material of the outer part 12.

In this exemplary embodiment it is shown that the shape and position of the desired separation points can be chosen differently from one another. Therefore, those predetermined separation points which are arranged immediately adjacent to the respective detection section ends 28, 29 are referred to as first predetermined separation points 36. The further predetermined separation points provided in the following direction towards one of the two end faces 19, 20 are referred to as second predetermined separation points 37 and third predetermined separation points 38.

The predetermined separation points 36, 37, 38 are aligned with respect to a plane 39 centrally and in a normal orientation to the longitudinal axis 8 - see Fig. 1 - designed and arranged in mirror image to one another. Therefore, only those intended separation points 36, 37, 38 located in the area of the first separation section 23 are described in more detail and are to be transferred to the second separation section 24 in an analogous manner.

On its side facing away from the detection section 27, the first predetermined separation point 36 has a first longitudinal course 40 which runs essentially in a parallel direction with respect to the imaginary connecting line 26 between the two separation sections 23, 24 or in a parallel direction with respect to one of the longitudinal edges 17, 18. However, it would also be possible to align the first longitudinal course slightly obliquely in the direction of the actuating means 25.

Following the first longitudinal course 40, a second longitudinal course 41 is provided, which is located on the side facing the detection section 27 and is aligned in the direction of the detection section 27. Due to the approximately parallel alignment of the first longitudinal profile 40, it is designed to run in a straight line. The first longitudinal course 40 and the second longitudinal course 41 together form the first predetermined separation point 36 and are formed, for example, by a punching process and pass through the thickness of the blank 13 preferably completely to form the outer part 12. The second longitudinal course 41 of the first predetermined separation point 36 can be curved in an arc shape. However, an angular and rectilinear design of the second longitudinal course 41 of the first predetermined separation point 36 in the direction of the actuating means 25 would also be possible. In any case, the second longitudinal course 41 of the first predetermined separation point 36 ends before reaching the detection section 27.

The second and/or third intended separation points 37, 38 of the two separating sections 23, 24, which are located next to the first intended separation points 36, can have an orientation that runs at an angle to the imaginary connecting line 26. The angular alignment of the second predetermined separation points 37 and/or the third predetermined separation points 38 of the first separation section 23 and the second separation section 24 can be selected such that they are each aligned towards one another on the side facing away from the actuating means 25. The intended separation points 37, 38, which are located symmetrically with respect to the normal plane - plane 39 - must be considered. The second predetermined separation points 37 can preferably be designed to be longer than the subsequent third predetermined separation points 38.

Furthermore, it is possible for an angle 42-1, 42-2 enclosed by the second and/or third predetermined separation points 37 38 of the first separation section 23 and by the second and/or third predetermined separation points 37, 38 of the second separation section 24, starting from the actuating means 25 towards the respective end faces 19, 20 is designed differently from one another. As mentioned above, the angle 42-1 between the second predetermined separation points 37 or the angle 42-2 between the corresponding third predetermined separation points 38 should always be considered. The included angle 42-1, 42-2 can be made increasingly larger and therefore larger, starting from the actuating means 25 towards the respective end faces 19, 20. In the present exemplary embodiment, the included angle 42-2 between the respective third predetermined separation points 38 is always chosen to be the same, but larger than the angle 42-1 included by the second predetermined separation points 37.

The design of the actuating means 25 and its detection section 27 can be chosen differently. In the present exemplary embodiment, the detection section 27 is formed by a cutting line that completely penetrates the jacket. The cutting line here has a straight, longitudinal course. Further training options for the desired separation area 22, in particular its actuating means 25, are explained in more detail in the following figures.

The overlap area 16 between the two end sections 14, 15 can be selected such that the predetermined separation area 22 is arranged or formed in the first end section 14 and the first end section 14 is on the inside in the overlap area 16 and is overlapped on the outside by the second end section 15. In this exemplary embodiment, the desired separation region 22 is arranged to run in a parallel direction with respect to the second longitudinal edge 18 of the overlapping outer second end section 15. Furthermore, it can also be provided that the desired separation area 22 is arranged or formed outside the overlap area 16.

In the Fig. 4 a further and possibly independent embodiment of the blank 13 for forming the outer part 12 is shown, with the same reference numbers or component names as in the previous ones for the same parts Fig. 1 to 3 be used. In order to avoid unnecessary repetitions, please refer to the detailed description in the previous sections Fig. 1 to 3 pointed out or referred to.

The basic structure and arrangement of the desired separation area 22 is chosen analogously to that which has already been described in detail previously. Therefore, only the existing differences will be discussed in more detail.

The desired separation area 22 of the blank 13 includes the two separation sections 23 and 24 as well as the detection section 27 located between them. The actuating means 25 further comprises, in addition to the detection section 27, an opening 43 which completely penetrates the jacket. The opening 43 is on the side of the surface facing away from the overlap area 16 Detection section 27 and arranged immediately after the detection section 27. Furthermore, the breakthrough 43 ends at the intersection of the detection section 27. By providing the breakthrough, the detection of the detection section 27 can be made easier for a user.

In the Fig. 5 a further and possibly independent embodiment of the blank 13 for forming the outer part 12 is shown, with the same reference numbers or component names as in the previous ones for the same parts Fig. 1 to 4 be used. In order to avoid unnecessary repetitions, please refer to the detailed description in the previous sections Fig. 1 to 4 pointed out or referred to.

The desired separation area 22 of the blank 13 includes the two separation sections 23 and 24 as well as the detection section 27 located between them. In contrast to those in the Fig. 1 to 4 In the exemplary embodiments shown here, the cutting line for forming the detection section 27 has a curved longitudinal course. The longitudinal course preferably runs in an arcuate manner. In the present exemplary embodiment, the detection section 27 has a convex longitudinal shape with a curvature facing away from the overlap area 16. This allows a type of actuating tab to be formed, which can make it even easier to touch and actuate the separation process.

Regardless of this, a concave curvature could also be provided for the formation of the cutting line.

Furthermore, the one previously in the Fig. 4 Opening 43 described and immediately adjacent to the cutting line can be provided in the jacket to form the actuating means 25. The design of the predetermined separation sections 34, 35 and their predetermined separation points 36, 37 and 38 can be done analogously, as already described above.

In the 6 and 7 a further and possibly independent embodiment of the blank 13 for forming the outer part 12 is shown, with the same reference numbers or component names as in the previous ones for the same parts Fig. 1 to 5 be used. In order to avoid unnecessary repetitions, please refer to the detailed description in the previous sections Fig. 1 to 5 pointed out or referred to.

The design and arrangement of the desired separation area 22 in the first end section 14 of the blank 13 can take place according to an exemplary embodiment already described previously. The desired separation area 22 in turn comprises the two separation sections 23 and 24 located on both sides of the actuating means 25.

In contrast to the previously described exemplary embodiments, in which the first end section 14 with the intended separation region 22 located therein is overlapped by the second end section 15 in the overlap region 16, here the first end section 14 is arranged on the outside in the overlap region 16 and thus overlaps the second end section 15.

The desired separation area 22 is thus again arranged or formed in the first end section 14, with the second end section 15 being arranged on the inside in the overlap area 16 and thus overlapped.

In the Fig. 8 the combination packaging container 1 with the inner container 2 and the outer part 12 surrounding the container jacket 4 is shown partially in section. The basic structure of the inner container 2 and the outer part 12 corresponds to that described previously in the Fig. 1 to 7 has been described. That's why the same reference numbers or component names are used for the same parts as in the previous ones Fig. 1 to 7 used. In order to avoid unnecessary repetitions, please refer to the detailed description in the previous sections Fig. 1 to 7 pointed out or referred to. The predetermined separation area 22 described in detail above with its actuating means 25 and the separation sections 23, 24 located on both sides is designed here analogously to the previous ones Fig. 1 to 7 . For the sake of clarity, many of the additional reference numbers used previously have no longer been entered.

In the area of the closed end 7 of the inner container 2, this has the shoulder 11 which projects in the radial direction, on which the first end face 19 of the outer part 12 is supported in its position joined to the inner container 2 on the side or direction facing away from the open end 5. In the area of the open end 5 of the inner container 2, a holding arrangement 44 is provided immediately adjacent to the flange 6 in order to be able to additionally hold the outer part 12 on the inner container 2, in particular to be able to hold it in a form-fitting manner. The section of the holding arrangement 44 is shown in detail "X" on the left below the combination packaging container 1 on an enlarged scale.

For this purpose, the cuff-shaped outer part 12 has its own folded edge 45. The folded edge 45 is folded inwards in the direction of the longitudinal axis 8 or in the direction of the container jacket (4), as a result of which no additional disruptive edges are arranged or formed on the outside of the cuff-shaped outer part 12 facing the viewer. The folded edge 45 can be provided or formed over the entire circumference or approximately over the entire circumference of the outer part 12. However, it is preferably possible to form the folded edge 45 not over the entire circumference of the outer part 12, but only in sections. A multiple arrangement of the same distributed over the circumference is possible. To accommodate and support the folded fold edge 45 the container jacket 4 has an inwardly offset wall section 46, which forms a receiving space 47 for the folded edge 45. The receiving space 47 is preferably designed to be continuous over the entire circumference, but can also only be designed in segments or sections. As a transition from the inwardly offset wall section 46 and the remaining container jacket 4, a step surface 48 projecting onto the side facing away from the longitudinal axis 8 is provided, starting from the inwardly offset wall section 46. The folded edge 45, which is folded inwards, is supported with its front edge on the step surface 48.

When assembling the cuff-shaped outer part 12 with the inner container 2, the folded edge 45 together with the outer part 12 is pushed in the direction of the flange 6 until the folded edge 45 snaps completely into the receiving space 47 provided for this purpose in the area of the open end 5 of the inner container 2. As a result, an additional mechanical locking of the cuff-shaped outer part 12 on the inner container 2 can be achieved. When flanging, the folded edge 45 is preferably applied continuously around the circumference to the jacket or the wall of the sleeve-shaped outer part 12.

The holding arrangement 44 between the outer part 12 and the inner container 2 could also be formed by at least one holding lug projecting from the container jacket 4 onto the side facing away from the longitudinal axis 8 and a recess or holding opening arranged or formed in the outer part 12. The holding nose projects into the recess or into the holding opening and thus holds the outer part 12 on the inner container 2.

So far, the outer part 12 has usually been additionally secured with an adhesive at at least one adhesive point or an adhesive point on the container jacket 4 of the inner container 2 against unintentional separation if the support of the outer part 12 on the bottom shoulder 11 is no longer sufficient due to excessive dimensional differences. When separating waste, the outer part 12 must first be separated in the intended separation area 22 formed therein, then the adhesive point must be loosened and only then can the sorted, separate disposal be carried out.

The additional adhesive can be provided, but is in the Fig. 9 The exemplary embodiment described is not absolutely necessary and can also be dispensed with entirely.

In the Fig. 9 is a possibility for carrying out the separation of the desired separation area 22 shown in simplified form according to the different exemplary embodiments described above. The combination packaging container 1 is shown in its undeformed original form.

After removing the goods contained in the combination packaging container 1, usually food or consumables, the outer part 12 must be removed from the inner container 2 for proper and sorted disposal. The material of the outer part 12 is made of cellulose (cardboard, strong paper or the like) and that of the inner container 2 is made of a plastic material.

Up to now, the user has had to remove the outer part 12 from the inner container 2 for proper and sorted disposal. This is usually done by detecting the actuating means 25 and the subsequent separation process by radially or tangentially lifting one of the end sections 14 or 15. This results in the separation of the desired separation area 22 and the outer part 12 can be removed from the inner container 2.

In order to carry out the separation process of the desired separation area 22, it is proposed here, in a departure from this, to exert a compressive force -F- in the direction of the combination packaging container 1 and thereby to carry out a desired spatial deformation of at least the container jacket 4. The compressive force -F- is preferably exerted in the direction of the longitudinal axis 8 or in an angular force orientation to it. The entire combination packaging container 1 is spatially deformed. The applied compressive force -F- is at least partially converted by the deformation of the combination packaging container 1 into a separation force that separates the predetermined separation area 22 along the predetermined separation points 36 and 37, the predetermined separation sections 34 and 35 and the separation sections 23 and 24.

Applying the pressure force -F- saves the search for the desired separation area 22, the detection of the actuating means 25 and the subsequent separation process.

The easiest way, according to the process proposed here, is to place the combination packaging container 1 intended for separation either with its closed end 7 or its open end 5 of the inner container 2 on a support surface formed, for example, by a solid base, and then the person applies the pressure force -F- exerted on the end facing away from the support surface in the direction of the support surface. The support surface or the solid base can be, for example, the floor, the table or a worktop. The Compressive force -F- can be applied directly by the person with his or her hands or also with the foot. In order to give an indication to the person who is to apply the pressure force -F- to separate the target separation area 22 on the combination packaging container 1, a marking or an indication of the implementation can be made, for example, on the bottom 3 of the inner container 2 and/or on the outer part 12 be attached or arranged during the separation process. The marking on the floor 3 can be attached or arranged, for example, in the area of the longitudinal axis 8 and/or on the outer circumference of the floor.

However, a dedicated printing device could also be provided, into which the combination packaging container 1 to be separated is introduced and the pressure force -F- is then applied mechanically. However, it would also be possible for the desired separation area 22 to be separated in the course of waste disposal by a pressing device or the like and for the compressive force -F- to be applied by this. This usually occurs when transport volume is reduced.

This means that the user of the combination packaging container 1 can forego carrying out the separation process and can dispose of the entire combination packaging container 1. The separation process of the target separation area 22 is carried out mechanically by a press or a squeezing device during collection and/or waste disposal.
