Definitions

• the invention relates to a greeting card according to the preamble of claim 1.
• a known generic greeting card according to DE 83 00 392 U1 is designed as an elongated, flat hollow body for receiving gifts.
• a cardboard-like gift packaging serves as the hollow body wall.
• the extremely flat, elongated packaging carton is formed on its narrow side with a closure flap with which the cavity can be closed completely.
• the greeting card thus formed is made available to the end customer as a finished product.
• Trifles can certainly be given away with this congratulatory card, which is similar to packaging boxes. However, it is not suitable for larger objects. 1891 PCT / EP90 / 01183
• the congratulations card according to the invention is primarily used to be attached to a bottle present.
• other objects for example, can-shaped gifts in connection with the congratulation card according to the invention can also be handed over.
• the greeting card of the invention minimize congestion and space requirements, especially the retailer needed is' trained by them home in a flat, ie thin-walled form. It can be similar to cardboard, but can also consist of other sheet-like materials. It is pre-cut or punched in the appropriate form. If necessary, it is wrapped around the bottle, suitable fastening and holding means being provided in such a way that the greeting card can be put together to form a structure having a permanent cavity.
• tabs can be formed on the greeting card, for example, which can be inserted through corresponding insertion slots on the opposite area of the lateral surface.
• a lower link connection can be provided on one end face of the congratulatory card that can be assembled into a cylindrical shape.
• a one-sided or continuous upper flap can also be provided, which is provided, for example, with an insertion opening for plugging onto the bottle neck.
• the greeting card according to the invention can be printed on one or two sides as desired.
• the card can be provided with various congratulations motifs, with recipes, descriptions etc. on the inside.
• Greeting cards of different sizes can be provided for bottles of different sizes.
• the greeting card can be designed so that it is suitable for wrapping bottles of different diameters.
• Figure 1 a schematic perspective view of the congratulatory card folded into a cylindrical shape and placed on a bottle
• Figure 2 Please see card in a pre-trimmed or punched form
• Figure 3 a modification of an insertion tab.
• a bottle 1 to be presented as a present is shown in a schematic perspective view.
• a greeting card 3 is attached to it.
• the greeting card 3 which is punched out in FIG. trimmed and developed flat shape is shown, assembled into a cylindrical shape to form an inner cavity 5 and at least attached to the lower part of the bottle.
• the greeting card can consist of a flat, for example cardboard-like material. Other materials such as plastic are also possible. Laminated materials are also considered.
• the congratulation card 3 thus has an areal, card-like main section 7 which, with corresponding congratulation motifs, congratulation texts .etc. can be printed on one or two sides and the corresponding vacancies can also have handwritten greetings.
• the main section 7 shown in Figure 2 can in the arrow direction 9 around a cylindrical body, i.e. usually be wrapped around a bottle 1.
• two insertion tabs 13 are formed at a distance above one another on the boundary side forming a jacket section line 11 in the exemplary embodiment shown.
• the main section 7 shown in FIG. 3 is wrapped around the bottle or previously brought into a cylindrical shape and only then placed on the bottle 1, the two insertion tabs 13 shown in FIG. 2 can be inserted and anchored at the opposite fastening section 15 at the main section into slot-shaped insertion recesses 17 made there.
• the insertion flaps 13 are formed at their free end with a wider anchoring section 13 'which is connected to the actual main section 7 via a tapering insertion 13 ".
• the slot-shaped' insertion recess 17 is shorter than the height of the wider anchoring section 13. 'When plugging in, the protruding wider edge regions of the insertion flap 13 must be slightly bent or spatially arched in order to insert them into the insertion recess 17. The insertion flap 13 thereby secures against automatic slipping out from the insertion recess 17.
• the main section 7 can have such a length overall that when folded over bottles with a small diameter the main section 7 overlaps over a partial length.
• a plurality of insertion recesses 17 which are offset with respect to one another in the longitudinal direction of the main section 7 can then be arranged. If the insertion tabs are inserted into the insertion recesses 17 further to the left in FIG. 2, a hollow body with a smaller diameter is formed overall to accommodate smaller bottles. In the other case, the inside diameter is increased to accommodate larger bottles.
• the flap can also be sawtooth-like in order to be able to wrap the greeting card 3 more or less well and firmly around the bottle and to adapt it to the bottle diameter To design cavity 5 to accommodate the bottle 1 accordingly adaptable.
• a tab-shaped support device 19 can also be provided in the bottom area.
• the two tabs that can be joined together are designed similarly to the insertion tab 13 and the slot-shaped insertion recess 17.
• an adaptation to different bottle diameters similar to the tab shape shown in FIG. 3, can be provided, with the insertion tab 21 and can overlap in a partial length in the second opposite tab 22 with the insertion recess 23.
• a further support tab 27 which can be anchored to the bottle neck 25 can also be provided. This is provided with an opening 29 which can be plugged onto the bottle neck.
• This embodiment can be provided as an alternative to the support device 19 provided on the cylinder bottom in the form of the insertion tab 21 and the counter-link 22 or in addition thereto.
• the various fastening and holding means can also be realized by adhesive, in particular self-adhesive surfaces, in contrast to the illustrated insertion tabs.
• adhesive in particular self-adhesive surfaces
• These primarily preferred self-adhesive surfaces can be covered, for example, with a protective film, which can be removed if necessary, in order then to place the greeting card around a bottle and to bring it into the desired shape.
