Description

Packing for breakable articles Packing Carton for The present invention relates to a packing carton breakable in particular consisting of a container a lid member hinged on the latter by means of an articular and a closing flap hinged on one of these members by means of an articular fold when the lid member is closed over the container member engages in the respective other its outside lying opposite the inside of one of the side walls of this wherein at least one fastening projection is provided on the outside of the and at least one fastening opening is provided in the relative side wall to accomodate the projection when the carton is Vhen closing such a problems may arise in from the parts hinged together being too strongly inclined towards one and in particular from the closing flap being inclined inwards too far so that there cannot be a proper engagement between the fastening projection and fastening It has already been proposed to solve this problem by providing on the inside both of the closing flap and of the adjacent container or lid protruberant supporting surfaces which when the closing flap is tilted inwards come to lie against one another so that further inclination of the closing flap is The present invention differs from this proposal in that on the inside of at least one of these articular at least one projection is provided jutting from the articular The projection may advantageously be oblong in the directibn of the articular he closing flap is turned this projection is wedged in between the parts of the carton adjacent to the closing fold and therefore inhibits further pivoting of the According to a further development of the idea of the the projection may have a such that the free ends of the U are oined to the articular Advantageously the projection may be of smaller wall thickness at least in its middle section than the of the articular fold adjacent to The invention is explained in detail in the with reference to the 1 shows in the opened state the insides of an embodiment of a packing carton formed in accordance with the invention in the form of a 2 is a view on a larger scale of a an articular fold of the carton in the region of a projection in the fold provided in accordance with the articular fold in the region of a projection in which the is folded The packing carton shown consists of a container member 1 and a lid member The two are joined together by an articular fold The carton is designed for packing container member has two parallel rows of egg pockets wherein five pockets 4 are placed in each row in the example Disposed between the pockets placed next to each in rows are protruberant supporting projections in the form of hollow pins 5 which define the pockets and act as supports for the lid member 2 when it is closed over the container member The lid member 2 has two protruberant gable members 6 which extend parallel to the rows of pockets and lie above these rows when the package is Extending between the gable members is a sunken lid section 7 which joins together the lower edges of the sides 6a of the gable 10 indicates a number of inspection holes for the These holes are formed partly in the sides 6a of the gable and partly in the lid section The number of holes 10 corresponds to the number of pockets and they are disposed so as to lie opposite the pockets 4 when the package is In the presen example there are therefore five holes 10 in each member The of the package are such that when the package is closed the upper section of the gable 6 is higher the lid section 7 lower than the upper section of the eggs placed in the and such that the gable members 6 are narrower than the said part of the Consequently a of the eggs is visible in the holes 10 vhen the package is and may project a bit through the holes even so far as to come into contact with the edges of them and be held The supporting projections 5 have a bearing surface at their upper between the gable members the lid member 2 is provided with 2 with contact surfaces designed to on the surfaces indicated by the example the ections 12 are formed as part of the sunken lid section When the package is closed the front surfaces of the projections 5 and are adjacent one A flap is hinged on the container member 1 by means of an fold This flap has two projections 16 on its When the carton is closed the closing flap 15 introduced into the lid member 2 and lies in it front inner wall 17 of the Fastening openings 18 corresponding to the two projections 16 are provided in the inner through which the projections 16 project when the package is closed thereby holding the lid 2 securely over the container member with the invention projections which protrude from the articular are provided in the articular folds 3 and 2 shows such a projection in the articular fold 14 between the container member 1 and closing flap The projection is oblong in the direction of the articular fold and has a such that the free ends 20 of the are joined to the articular As a result an interruption in the fold join is formed in the region limited free ends of the 1 shows a series of these projections 19 uniformly distributed along the articular folds 3 and wherein in each case a projection is provided at the respective end the The projections may be of smaller wall thickness at least in their middle section than the adjacent parts of the articular and if desired may even be more or less When pivoting the closing flap over the container member 1 19 as shown in the provided in the articular fold 14 are wedged in between the adjacent and thus act as a barrier against further The same applies to the projections in fold the projections proposed in accordance with the invention can be used with the same or similar advantages to those explained in other packages that the type shown by way of insufficientOCRQuality
