Definitions

• the invention relates to a folding carton formed from corrugated cardboard, solid cardboard or other materials with a clothes rail for the transport of clothes or other objects hanging on hangers, comprising a closable loading opening located on one of the large surfaces, one Flap for the loading opening and a lid for the upper part of the folding box.
• a known folding box for the transport of clothing has a loading opening that goes from one side wall to the other side wall.
• the loading opening itself can be closed by a folding lid attached to the folding box. Due to this construction, the loading opening represents a considerable mechanical weakening when picking up and setting down the folding carton, especially if one takes into account that such folding cartons are often protruded by a single person.
• the carrying forces transmitted from the side wall can only be absorbed by the rear wall, but not by the front wall, even if the lid closes the loading opening.
• the opened lid is annoying when loading because it is located directly in front of the folding carton, i.e. at the point where the person who wants to hang a stack of clothing should stand.
• Known folding boxes for the transport of garments are often provided with a grip hole below half the height of the folding box on both side surfaces.
• the folding box is carried by two people. However, this is often not necessary since a fully loaded folding carton usually weighs no more than 20 kg. If, on the other hand, one would only move the grip hole further upward in known folding boxes, one person could actually carry the folding box on his back, but then the above-mentioned stresses occur to an increased extent, which are due to the loading opening of the folding box cannot be appropriately recorded and derived.
• the invention is concerned with the problem of eliminating the disadvantages of known folding cartons of the type mentioned at the outset, in particular to create a folding carton which has high strength, is easy to load and unload and, moreover, also safely from a single one .Person can be transported.
• the loading opening is freely accessible, a flap or the like does not protrude forward, so that an operator standing in front of the folding box can hang or remove a large number of clothing items from the cloakroom rail .
• the folding carton Due to the side webs delimiting the loading opening, the folding carton is given increased strength when carried. Torsional forces can be caused in particular by these side bars can be better absorbed without the cardboard buckling laterally.
• the webs can also each be formed from two strips placed one on top of the other, which further increases the dimensional stability.
• the flap of the loading opening is designed either as a separate part or as an extension piece of the cover and the extension piece can be inserted into incisions in the folding carton significantly increases the torsional strength of the folding carton.
• the side parts of the folding carton can be formed with transversely folded upper extension parts. Support openings are located directly below these collapsed extension pieces, so that the forces are transmitted more uniformly to the folding carton via the collapsed extension pieces.
• the side parts of the lid can also be releasably connected to one another via simple hole-tab connections, so that the folding carton forms a force-fitting unit with the lid attached.
• the folding box according to the invention can also be further stabilized by the fact that the base is also reinforced in the form of interleaved extension pieces of the side parts.
• folding box according to the invention from single-walled cardboard.
• FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a folding box without a lid.
• FIG. 2 shows the upper area of a folding carton immediately before the lid is put on.
• the actual folding carton is designated by 10 in the figures. This has essentially the shape of a cuboid.
• the folding carton is made from a carton blank, the bottom 24 being made in any known manner.
• Extension parts 21 and 22 are located on the top of the side walls. In the direction of the arrow shown, the extension piece 22 is folded up and brought into the position shown at 21, at least one fold point (there could also be several).
• handle holes 20 are Immediately below the collapsed extension pieces 21 and 22. These handle holes are designed so that a single operator can carry the folding box 10 on his back.
• a loading opening 25 is formed on the front of the folding box 10. This is open at the top and the loading opening 25 is delimited by reinforcing strips 23 to the two side parts.
• Corresponding incisions 36 are also made on an extension piece 31 of a cover 30. It can be seen in particular in FIG. 2 how the reinforcing piece 31 can cover the loading opening 25 and at the same time a secure fastening of the two parts to one another is produced via the incisions 36 and 26.
• the wardrobe bar 28 is shown schematically, which can be attached to the folding box in a known manner.
