Definitions

• Packaging for holding at least one row of elongated objects
• the invention relates to a packaging for accommodating at least a number of elongated objects in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.
• Such packaging is known and customary in numerous variants and is used in particular for packaging cosmetic or pharmaceutical products.
• the flat, possibly pre-glued blanks are only set up at the bottler and filled with the objects.
• the packaging should be printable on all four side walls and on the floor.
• the packaging should preferably hold each individual object so that the objects remain in their original position even when the packages are used.
• the filled packs are usually surrounded with a shrink film or filled into a box. There is no actual lid.
• a blank is folded and glued in such a way that the two longitudinal side walls are connected to one another on two levels by webs.
• Two adjacent webs are provided with crescent-shaped cutouts.
• the pre-glued blank can be erected in a parallelogram-like manner, with the crescent-shaped cutouts of the webs lying exactly above one another on the two levels in the erected end position, so that a cylindrical object can be inserted from above and held in place by the webs.
• the side walls could also be connected by a material section with round openings, as is shown, for example, in GB-PS 38 43.
• a disadvantage of the known packaging is that the elongated objects are always separated from one another at least in one direction by a web of material.
• the more objects have to be packed in a row the longer the packaging becomes, since the width of a material web is added to the width of each object.
• the unfavorable ratio between the goods to be packaged and the packaging volume therefore has a negative impact on the filling process, the transport and the storage of the packaging.
• the packaging itself is also relatively expensive, since a relatively large cut is used.
• the positioning elements punched out of the inner wall of the prismatic hollow body make a connection of the opposite side walls with a material web superfluous.
• the positioning elements are namely in the upright state of the packaging in the plane of the top, so that they have sufficient stability to position the objects.
• the punched openings remaining on the erected inner wall are not visible from the outside on the packaging and the outer walls of the prismatic hollow bodies are fully printable.
• the usually cylindrical objects can practically touch one another at their largest outer diameter, since the positioning elements do not have to be formed continuously. It is sufficient to configure the positioning elements so that they touch the objects at least at one point.
• the positioning elements are particularly advantageously approximately triangular, one side of the triangle lying in the fold line between the top and inner wall of a hollow body.
• the two free sides of a triangle support the outer wall of two adjacent objects.
• the area of a triangle is to be adapted to the outside diameter of the objects to be packed.
• the end faces of the packaging are advantageously formed in that tongues are arranged laterally on the inner walls or on the outer walls of the prismatic hollow bodies, which tongues, together with front flaps arranged on the bottom of the packaging, form the two end faces extending transversely to the hollow bodies.
• the prismatic hollow bodies are also fixed in their upright position.
• the front flaps can be glued, welded, pinned or connected to other material sections of the packaging.
• a support web is arranged which extends from the plane of the bottom of the Pack can be erected transversely to the latter, so that the packaging space can be divided into two parts.
• the support web ensures that an individual object remains fixed in position within the packaging even when all neighboring objects have been removed.
• the height of the support web can be easily adapted to the height of the objects.
• the support web can be erected in a particularly simple manner if, in addition to the fold line of the erectable support web, openings for carrying out erection elements are arranged in the bottom of the packaging.
• These erection elements can be bolts, for example, which are arranged on the bottom of the erection matrix. When the flat blank is pressed into the press-in die, the bolts penetrate through the openings and straighten the support web until it remains fixed in its upright position either by fastening or by filling in the objects.
• the upright position of the support web can be fixed particularly advantageously if a holding flap is arranged on each front flap, which can be folded inward via the lateral tongues and which has a cutout for holding the support web in an upright position.
• the erected packaging can thus be removed from the erection matrix without the support web folding back.
• the packaging can be fixed particularly easily in its upright position if the retaining tabs have tabs on the side which can be snapped into slots which are arranged in the region of the folds between the inner wall and the lateral tongues. In this way, no gluing operations are required after the packaging has been erected.
• the holding tabs fixed in their position hold both the lateral tongues and the support web.
• FIG. 1 shows a blank punched out of a material web to form the packaging
• FIG. 2 shows the blank according to FIG. 1 with glued prismatic hollow bodies, but in the flat state
• FIG. 3 the pre-glued blank according to FIG. 2 when erecting
• FIG. 4 shows a finished, partially filled packaging
• FIG. 5 shows a cross section through an erected packaging
• FIG. 6 shows a blank for a somewhat modified packaging.
• the blank shown in FIG. 1 can be punched out, for example, from a material web made of cardboard, plastic, metal foil or from a laminate.
• the fold lines 17 subdivide the cut into individual wall sections and facilitate the subsequent folding of these sections.
• one end tab 8, 8 'and one retaining tab 11, 11 1 are connected to the end faces.
• An outer wall 3, an upper side 4, an inner wall 2, a broad fastening tongue 16 and a support web 9 are connected on one long side.
• the openings 10 are punched out of the base 7. Also punched, but still connected to the web, the triangular positioning elements 5 and 5 ', and the slots 14 and 14' are.
• the holding tabs 11 and 11 ' are provided with cutouts 12. Lugs 13 are arranged on the side of the retaining tabs.
• the support web 9 is also provided with V-shaped cutouts 20.
• the wide fastening tongue 16 and the narrow fastening tongue 15 are glued to the bottom 7 of the packaging.
• the top 4, the inner wall 2, the wide fastening tongue 16 and the support web 9 must be folded around the fold line between the outer wall 3 and the top 4.
• the upper side 4 ', the inner wall 2 * and the narrow fastening tongue 15 are folded around the fold line between the outer wall 3 1 and the upper side 4 1 .
• the openings 10 are now covered by the support web 9 lying in the plane of the bottom 7.
• the blank according to FIG. 1 is already printed before it is glued to form the prismatic hollow body.
• the bottler generally receives the prepared packaging body according to FIG. 2 from the packaging manufacturer.
• the prismatic hollow bodies 1 are erected in the direction of arrow A, as can be seen from FIG. 3.
• the openings 10 in the bottom 7 of the packaging which are arranged directly next to the supporting web 9, penetrate the Pressing into the erecting die erecting elements 21, which can be designed as bolts, for example.
• the support web 9 is folded down in the direction of arrow C by approximately 90 °.
• the pre-punched positioning elements 5 and 5 break out of the plane of the inner walls, since they are connected to the upper sides 4 and always remain in the plane of the upper sides during the erection process.
• the cutouts 18 now appear on the inner walls 2.
• the lateral tongues 6 are first folded in. Then the front tabs 8 with their retaining tabs 11 are folded up in the direction of the arrow B and the retaining tabs 11 are completely folded over the lateral tabs 6 until the Snap lugs 13 into slots 14.
• the positioning elements 5 on the fully erected packaging project against the interior of the packaging.
• the support web 9 is fixed by the cutouts 12 in the holding tab 11 in an upright position.
• the lugs 13 inserted into the slots 14 protrude somewhat into the interior of the prismatic hollow body 1, as can be seen from the cross section according to FIG.
• the V-shaped cutouts 20 are arranged such that they lie between the individual positioning elements 5 approximately in the area of the largest outside diameter of the objects 19. This makes filling easier, since the objects 19 with their base in the area of the largest outer diameter cannot rest on the upper edge of the support web 9.
• the V-shaped cutout arranged in this area causes the object to slide downward.
• the objects 19 can be arranged in a packaging according to the invention in such a way that the cylindrical side walls of the objects practically touch. A continuous web of material between the individual objects is not necessary, since the positioning elements 5 on the prismatic hollow bodies 1 together with the support web 9 are sufficient to hold each individual object 19 in place.
• the prismatic hollow bodies additionally have the advantage that the packaging becomes torsionally rigid and is relatively insensitive to lateral blows and impacts.
• FIG. 6 shows a blank for a modified exemplary embodiment.
• the blank is essentially the same as the blank according to FIG. 1.
• the front flaps 8 are designed without holding tabs.
• the lateral tongues 6 are not arranged on the inner walls 2, but on the outer walls 3.
• This blank is also glued and erected as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
• the lateral tongues 6 must be glued to the front flaps 8 or otherwise firmly connected.
• the support web 9 also does not remain in its position after the erection, since the retaining tabs are missing. In this embodiment, it is therefore necessary for the packaging to be filled as long as the erecting elements still hold the support web 9 in an upright position. The support web 9 is then held by the filled objects.
• the positioning elements 5 do not have to be must be triangular. These could also have a crescent-shaped, trapezoidal or other configuration that is adapted to the shape of the objects.
• the support web 9 can obviously be omitted. In this case, the wide fastening tongue would also not be absolutely necessary. A narrow fastening tongue would be sufficient on both sides.
