Abstract

The box has two outer fields (1) joined at a first fold line (2); two inner fields connected at a second fold line; and a third fold line (5) between inner and outer fields, connecting them to each other. The inner fields are narrower than the outer fields, and lie flat against each other. The second fold line is very close to the first fold line. There is a device (7, 8, 9) in the region of the third fold line to hold the inner fields opposite each other.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Faltschachtel aus Karton nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1. Eine Faltschachtel dieser Art ist aus US 3 124 293 A bekannt.The invention relates to a cardboard carton according to the preamble of claim 1. A carton of this kind is made US 3,124,293 A. known.

Bei der bekannten Faltschachtel sind die an den Innenfeldern angebrachten Faltklappen die die Außenfelder auf Abstand gegenüber den Innenfeldern haften, an ihrem freien Rand mit Einstecklaschen versehen. Die Faltklappen sind unmittelbar am Rand der Innenfelder angesetzt und enden auch an den Rändern der Außenfelder. Die Einstecklaschen sind dazu bestimmt, unter die Außenfelder geschoben zu werden. Damit sie dort halten, sind an den die Außenfelder bildenden Teilen seitlich weitere Faltklappen angebracht, die unter die erstgenannten Faltklappen gefaltet sind und auch einen spaltfreien Abschluss des umgrenzten Zwischenraums sicherstellen. Diese besondere Ausbildung des Zuschnitts macht das Aufrichten der Faltschachtel kompliziert. Wegen der Einstecklaschen ist es ferner nicht möglich, Faltschachteln mit rundem Querschnitt zu realisieren.In the known carton attached to the inner panels folding flaps that adhere to the outer fields at a distance from the inner fields, provided at its free edge with tuck. The folding flaps are attached directly to the edge of the inner fields and also end at the edges of the outer fields. The insertion tabs are designed to be pushed under the outer fields. In order to hold them there are laterally further folding flaps attached to the parts forming the outer fields which are folded under the first-mentioned folding flaps and also ensure a gap-free closure of the bounded gap. This special design of the blank makes the erection of the carton complicated. Because of the Einstecklaschen it is also not possible to realize cartons with a round cross-section.

Die am weitesten verbreiteten Faltschachteln aus Karton haben quaderförmige Gestalt und bestehen aus einem Zuschnitt, der Rumpffelder und daran angebrachte Schließklappen, teils mit Einstecklaschen, aufweist. Typische Faltschachteln dieser Art sind Medikamentenverpackungen. Diese sind im Allgemeinen an den kleineren der Schmalseiten zu öffnen. Bei Faltschachteln, deren Inhalt dekorativ dargeboten werden soll, wie beispielsweise Pralinenverpackungen, ist der Innenraum an der größten Seite der Faltschachtel zugänglich. Eine solche Faltschachtel hat einen Deckel, der über ein Unterteil greift und von diesem hochgeklappt oder vollständig abgenommen werden kann. Auch Verpackungen dieser Art sind im Allgemeinen quaderförmig.The most widespread cartons made of cardboard have cuboidal shape and consist of a blank, the hull fields and attached thereto closing flaps, partly with push-in tabs, has. Typical cartons of this type are medicine packaging. These are generally open at the smaller of the narrow sides. For cartons whose contents are to be offered decorative, such as praline packaging, the interior of the largest side of the carton is accessible. Such a carton has a lid which engages over a lower part and can be folded up from this or completely removed. Also packaging of this type are generally cuboid.

Im modernen Wirtschaftsleben hängt der Verkaufserfolg einer Ware sehr häufig von der Aufmachung ihrer Verpackung ab. An Verpackungen der vorgenannten Art sind kaum mehr Besonderheiten realisierbar, die einen Verkaufserfolg unterstützen könnten. Die Entwerfer von Verpackungen sind daher in hohem Maße gefordert, neue Verpackungsformen zu entwickeln, die geeignet sind, den Verbraucher so anzusprechen, dass die eigentlich interessierende, darin enthaltene Ware mitunter allein schon wegen ihrer Verpackung gekauft wird. Andererseits ist es für eine kostensparende Logistik erforderlich, dass eine Faltschachtel weitestgehend fertiggestellt, d.h. ganz oder teilweise verklebt, vom Faltschachtelhersteller an den Abfüller geliefert werden kann, der die Faltschachtel aus dem fiachliegenden Zustand aufrichtet, befüllt und verschließt. Die Erfindung zielt in diese Richtung.In modern economic life, the sales success of a product very often depends on the presentation of its packaging. On packages of the aforementioned type hardly more peculiarities can be realized that could support a sales success. The designers of packaging are therefore highly required to develop new packaging forms that are suitable to address the consumer so that the actually interesting, contained therein goods is sometimes bought alone because of their packaging. On the other hand, it is necessary for a cost-saving logistics that a carton largely completed, that is completely or partially glued, can be supplied by the carton manufacturer to the bottler, the folding carton from the top Erects condition, fills and closes. The invention aims in this direction.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Faltschachtel der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, die eine ansprechende Gestaltung und eine neuartige Funktionalität aufweist, sich aber im fertig verklebten Zustand flachliegend zum Verpacker der Ware anliefern lässt.The invention is based on the object to provide a carton of the type mentioned, which has an attractive design and a novel functionality, but can be delivered in the finished glued state lying flat to the packer of the goods.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebene Erfindung gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This object is achieved by the invention defined in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung ermöglicht die Realisierung einer Faltschachtel, die im aufgerichteten Zustand einen runden Querschnitt hat, sich aber dennoch im fertig verklebten Zustand vollkommen flachliegend anliefern lässt. Die erfindungsgemäße Faltschachtel ermöglicht es ferner, einen in ihr aufgenommenen Gegenstand, etwa eine Flasche, so abzustützen, dass er allseits von den Wänden der Faltschachtel einen Sicherheitsabstand hat. Die Erfindung ermöglicht auch die Realisierung anderer Querschnittsgestaltungen der Faltschachtel, etwa linsenförmige, quadratische, rautenförmige, sechseckige und ähnliche Querschnitte.The invention enables the realization of a carton, which has a round cross-section in the erected state, but can still be delivered completely flat lying in the finished bonded state. The carton according to the invention also makes it possible to support an object received in it, for example a bottle, in such a way that it has a safety distance from the walls of the folding carton on all sides. The invention also allows the realization of other cross-sectional shapes of the carton, such as lenticular, square, diamond-shaped, hexagonal and similar cross-sections.

In den Figuren 1 bis 4 ist eine erste Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Faltschachtel dargestellt, die hier einen linsenförmigen Querschnitt hat. Diese Ausführungsform soll in Zusammenschau der Figuren 1 bis 4 und unter Zuhilfenahme der Fig. 5 nachfolgend beschrieben werden.In the FIGS. 1 to 4 a first embodiment of a carton according to the invention is shown, which here has a lenticular cross-section. This embodiment is intended in conjunction with the FIGS. 1 to 4 and with the help of the Fig. 5 described below.

Die Faltschachtel hat zwei Außenfelder 1, die an einer ersten Faltlinie 2 miteinander verbunden sind, und zwei Innenfelder 3, die an einer zweiten Faltlinie 4 miteinander verbunden sind. Die Faltlinien 2 und 4 sind einander parallel und definieren eine Längsrichtung der Faltschachtel. Die Außen- und die Innenfelder 1 und 3 sind im dargestellten Beispiel gleich lang, doch sind die Innenfelder 3 schmaler als die Außenfelder 1. An ihren den Faltlinien 2 und 4 abgewandten Enden sind die Außenfelder 1 und die Innenfelder 3 jeweils an einer dritten Faltlinie 5 miteinander verbunden. An dem einen Außenfeld 1 ist eine Schließlasche 6 angebracht, die sich in einer Schließfahne 7 verlängert, die im geschlossenen Zustand der Faltschachtel über die dritten Faltlinien 5 greift. An der Schließfahne 7 ist eine nach rückwärts gerichtete Haltezunge 8 ausgebildet, die in einen Schlitz 9 eingesteckt ist, der in dem Außenfeld 1 ausgebildet ist, an dem die Schließlasche 6 angebracht ist.The folding box has two outer panels 1, which are connected to one another at a first fold line 2, and two inner panels 3, which are connected to one another at a second fold line 4. The fold lines 2 and 4 are parallel to one another and define a longitudinal direction of the folding box. The outer and inner panels 1 and 3 are the same length in the example shown, but the inner panels 3 are narrower than the outer panels 1. At their ends facing away from the fold lines 2 and 4, the outer panels 1 and the inner panels 3 are each at a third fold line. 5 connected with each other. At the one outer field 1, a closing tab 6 is attached, which extends in a closing lug 7, which engages over the third fold lines 5 in the closed state of the carton. At the closing lug 7, a rearwardly directed retaining tongue 8 is formed, which is inserted into a slot 9 which is formed in the outer field 1, on which the closing tab 6 is attached.

An den querlaufenden Rändern der Innenfelder 3 sind jeweils Aufdoppelungslaschen 10 angebracht, die auf die Seiten der Innenfelder 3 umgeschlagen sind, die einander nicht benachbart sind, und sind dort vorzugsweise teilflächig angeklebt. An den Aufdoppelungslaschen 10 ist jeweils eine Spreizfahne 11 angebracht, die sich senkrecht zu den Innen- und Außenfeldern erstreckt und sich mit ihrem freien Rand am benachbarten Außenfeld 1 abstützt und dieses von dem zugehörigen Innenfeld 3 abspreizt. Diese Abspreizung ist möglich, weil die Innenfelder 3 schmaler sind als die Außenfelder 1. Dem betreffenden Außenfeld 1 ist dadurch eine Querschnittskontur gegeben, die etwa dem Umriss des freien Randes der Spreizfahne 11 entspricht.At the transverse edges of the inner panels 3 each Aufdoppelungslaschen 10 are attached, which are folded over to the sides of the inner panels 3, which are not adjacent to each other, and are there preferably adhered part of the area. At the Aufdoppelungslaschen 10 each have a Spreizfahne 11 is mounted, which extends perpendicular to the inner and outer fields and is supported with its free edge on the adjacent outer field 1 and this spreads apart from the associated inner field 3. This spread is possible because the inner fields 3 are narrower than the outer fields 1. The respective outer field 1 is given a cross-sectional contour that corresponds approximately to the outline of the free edge of the spreader 11.

Das Außenfeld 1, das nicht mit der Schließlasche 6 versehen ist, setzt sich an der ersten Faltlinie 1 in einer Klebelasche 12 fort, die mit dem anderen Außenfeld 1 verklebt ist, siehe hierzu Fig. 4.The outer field 1, which is not provided with the closing tab 6, continues on the first fold line 1 in a gluing flap 12, which is glued to the other outer panel 1, see Fig. 4 ,

Wie in Fig. 4 zu erkennen ist, haben die Innenfelder 3 jeweils einen Ausschnitt 13, siehe auch Fig. 5, der an seinen seitlichen Rändern jeweils von einer Faltklappe 14 begrenzt ist. Die Faltklappen 14 sind etwa senkrecht zu dem Innenfeld 3 in Richtung auf das benachbarte Außenfeld 1 umgebogen. Man erkennt aus Fig. 4, dass auf diese Weise in der Faltschachtel insgesamt ein Hohlraum geschaffen ist, der von den Spreizfahnen 11 und den Faltklappen 14 sowie den Außenfeldern 1 begrenzt ist und für die Aufnahme eines zu verpackenden Gegenstandes geeignet ist.As in Fig. 4 can be seen, the inner fields 3 each have a cutout 13, see also Fig. 5 , which is bounded at its lateral edges each of a folding flap 14. The folding flaps 14 are bent approximately perpendicular to the inner field 3 in the direction of the adjacent outer field 1. One recognizes Fig. 4 in that in this way a complete cavity is created in the folding box which is bounded by the spreading tabs 11 and the folding flaps 14 and the outer panels 1 and is suitable for receiving an article to be packed.

In den Figuren 1 bis 5 ist ferner zu erkennen, dass in der Faltlinie, die die Aufdoppelungslaschen 10 mit den Spreizfahnen 11 verbinden, jeweils ein Schlitz 15 ausgebildet ist. Zwei einander gegenüberliegende Schlitze in diesen Faltlinien sind dazu geeignet, Einsteckfahnen eines Einsatzes (nicht dargestellt) aufzunehmen, den man hinter dem Ausschnitt 13 anordnen kann und der zur Aufnahme eines oder mehrerer kleinerer, zu verpackender Gegenstände, etwa Ampullen oder Fläschchen, bestimmt ist.In the FIGS. 1 to 5 It can also be seen that in each case a slot 15 is formed in the fold line connecting the doubling tabs 10 with the spreading tabs 11. Two opposing slots in these fold lines are adapted to receive male lugs of an insert (not shown) which can be arranged behind the cutout 13 and which is intended to receive one or more smaller items to be packaged, such as ampoules or vials.

Wie man aus den Zeichnungen, insbesondere auch aus den aus Fig. 5 entnehmbaren Abmessungen sehen kann, erstrecken sich die Spreizfahnen 11 etwa in Höhe der querlaufenden Begrenzungslinien der Ausschnitte 13. Dieses ist nicht zwingend, aber ästhetisch ansprechen, weil tote Winkel vermieden werden. Außerdem eröffnet sich durch diese Bemessung die Möglichkeit, die Spreizklappen 11 mit Hilfe der Faltklappen 14 in ihrer Lage zu fixieren, denn sie tendieren auf Grund der Rückstellkraft des Kartonmaterials dazu, sich in Richtung auf den Ausschnitt 13 aufzustellen.As can be seen from the drawings, especially from the Fig. 5 can see removable dimensions, the spreader vanes 11 extend approximately at the level of the transverse boundary lines of the cutouts 13. This is not mandatory, but aesthetically address, because dead angles are avoided. In addition, this dimension opens up the possibility of fixing the expansion flaps 11 in their position with the aid of the folding flaps 14, because they tend to set up in the direction of the cutout 13 due to the restoring force of the cardboard material.

Für die Konfektionierung der Faltschachtel wird vom Hersteller des Zuschnitts nach Fig. 5 wie folgt verfahren: Die Aufdoppelungslaschen 10 werden in der Sicht der Fig. 5 nach hinten vollkommen umgeschlagen, die Spreizfahnen 11 überdecken dabei die Faltklappen 14 von hinten teilweise. Die Aufdoppelungslaschen 10 werden mit den Rückseiten der Innenfelder 3 vorzugsweise teilweise verklebt. Die Innenfelder 3 werden an der zweiten Faltlinie 4 nach innen zusammengefaltet, die Außenfelder 1 werden an den dritten Faltlinien 5 auf die Außenseiten der Innenfelder 3 gefaltet, die Klebelasche 12 wird an der ersten Faltlinie 2 umgefaltet und mit der Innenseite des anderen Außenfeldes 6 verklebt. Die Schließlasche 6 wird auf das die Klebelasche 12 tragende Außenfeld 6 umgeschlagen.For the assembly of the carton, the manufacturer of the carton replicates Fig. 5 proceed as follows: The doubling tabs 10 are in the view of Fig. 5 folded completely to the rear, the spreader lugs 11 cover the folding flaps 14 partially from behind. The Aufdoppelungslaschen 10 are preferably partially bonded to the backs of the inner panels 3. The inner panels 3 are folded inwards on the second fold line 4, the outer panels 1 are folded on the third fold lines 5 on the outer sides of the inner panels 3, the adhesive flap 12 is folded over at the first fold line 2 and glued to the inside of the other outer panel 6. The closing flap 6 is transferred to the outer flap 6 carrying the adhesive flap 12.

In diesem flachliegenden Zustand haben die beiden längslaufenden Faltlinien 2 und 4 einen Abstand voneinander, der etwa dem Unterschied in der Breite zwischen den Innenfeldern 3 und den Außenfeldern 1 entspricht.In this flat-lying state, the two longitudinal fold lines 2 and 4 have a distance from each other which corresponds approximately to the difference in width between the inner fields 3 and the outer fields 1.

Zum Aufrichten der Faltschachtel wird der Zuschnitt teilweise aufgeklappt, die Spreizfahnen 11 werden in Richtung auf die Außenfelder 1 gefaltet und die Faltklappen 14 in Richtung auf die Außenfelder 1 gefaltet. Die Faltschachtel hat damit ihre endgültige Gestalt und ist nun zur Aufnahme eines zu verpackenden Gegenstandes oder eines Einsatzes für die Aufnahme eines zu verpackenden Gegenstandes bereit. In diesem Zustand sind die beiden längslaufenden Faltlinien 2 und 4 einander eng benachbart, denn das Innenfeld verhält sich wie die Sehne eines Kreisbogens, der von dem Außenfeld gebildet wird und der durch die Spreizfahne in seine Gestalt gebracht worden ist.To erect the carton, the blank is partially unfolded, the spreading tabs 11 are folded in the direction of the outer panels 1 and the folding flaps 14 are folded in the direction of the outer panels 1. The carton thus has its final shape and is now ready for receiving an item to be packaged or an insert for receiving an item to be packaged. In this state, the two longitudinal fold lines 2 and 4 are closely adjacent to each other, because the central field behaves like the tendon of a circular arc formed by the outer field, which has been shaped by the spreader.

Nach dem Einsetzen des zu verpackenden Gegenstandes in den von dem einen Ausschnitt begrenzten Hohlraum ist die Faltschachtel lediglich noch zuzuklappen, und zum Verschließen der Faltschachtel ist die Schließlasche 6 anzulegen, die Schließfahne 7 um die beiden dritten Faltlinien 5 herumzuführen und die Einstecklasche 8 in den Schlitz 9 einzustecken. Gegebenenfalls kann dann noch ein Siegel als Originalitätsverschluss über der Schließfahne 7 und einem angrenzenden Abschnitt des Außenfeldes 1 angebracht werden.After inserting the object to be packaged in the cavity bounded by a cutout, the folding box is only to be closed, and to close the carton, the closing tab 6 is to create, the closing tab 7 around the two third fold lines 5 and the Einstecklasche 8 in the slot 9 to insert. Optionally, then a seal as tamper-evident over the closing lug 7 and an adjacent portion of the outer field 1 are attached.

Der Fachmann erkennt, dass er im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung die Dimensionen des Zuschnitts beliebig ändern kann. So zeigt die Fig. 6 eine Faltschachtel der erfindungsgemäßen Art, die sich von der nach Fig. 1 dadurch unterscheidet, dass sie relativ schlank gestaltet ist und im aufgerichteten Zustand eine etwa zylindrische Gestalt hat, und Fig. 7 zeigt den zugehörigen Zuschnitt. Die Umrissgestalt der Spreizfahnen 11 in Fig. 7 bestimmt den kreisförmigen Querschnitt der aufgerichteten Faltschachtel, die in Fig. 6 zu sehen ist. Die wesentlichen Merkmale der Faltschachtel und ihres Zuschnitts gemäß den Figuren 6 und 7 entsprechen dem Zuschnitt der Fig. 5, weshalb übereinstimmende Bezugszeichen verwendet sind. Es fehlt allerdings die Schließlasche 6, da die Ausführungsform der Figuren 6 und 7 dazu bestimmt ist, von einem gesonderten Klebeetikett im Schließzustand gehalten zu werden.The person skilled in the art realizes that in the context of the present invention he can change the dimensions of the blank as desired. That's how it shows Fig. 6 a carton of the type according to the invention, which differs from the Fig. 1 differs in that it is designed relatively slim and in the erected state has an approximately cylindrical shape, and Fig. 7 shows the associated cut. The outline shape of the spreader vanes 11 in Fig. 7 determines the circular cross section of the erected carton, which in Fig. 6 you can see. The main features of the carton and its blank according to the FIGS. 6 and 7 correspond to the cut of the Fig. 5 , why matching reference numerals are used. However, it lacks the closing tab 6, since the embodiment of the FIGS. 6 and 7 is intended to be held in the closed state by a separate adhesive label.

Wie man in Fig. 7 erkennt, ist der Ausschnitt 13 in einer speziellen Art gestaltet, die an die Form einer aufzunehmenden Flasche (nicht dargestellt) bestimmter Formgebung angepasst ist.How to get in Fig. 7 recognizes the cutout 13 is designed in a special way, which is adapted to the shape of a male bottle (not shown) of certain shape.

Weiterhin unterscheidet sich der Zuschnitt von Fig. 7 von demjenigen nach Fig. 5 dadurch, dass an einem Ende jedes Ausschnitts 13, der dem Boden der aufnehmenden Flasche entspricht, am querlaufenden Rand 13 eine Faltklappe 16 angesetzt ist, die beim Aufrichten der Faltschachtel in den Zwischenraum zwischen dem Innenfeld 3 und dem Außenfeld 1 gefaltet wird und dort mit der Spreizfahne 11 verklebt werden kann. Die Faltklappe 16 bildet zusammen mit der Spreizfahne 11 einen Boden des von dem Ausschnitt 13 begrenzten Hohlraums. Es sei an dieser Stelle betont, dass die Faltklappe 16 auch entfallen kann. So ist sie in Fig. 6 nicht dargestellt.Furthermore, the blank of Fig. 7 from the one after Fig. 5 in that at one end of each cutout 13, which corresponds to the bottom of the receiving bottle, a folding flap 16 is attached to the transverse edge 13, which is folded when erecting the carton in the space between the inner panel 3 and the outer panel 1 and there with the Spreader lug 11 can be glued. The folding flap 16 forms together with the spreader 11 a bottom of the limited by the cutout 13 cavity. It should be emphasized at this point that the folding flap 16 can also be omitted. So she is in Fig. 6 not shown.

Ein wesentliches Unterscheidungsmerkmal der Ausführungsform der Figuren 6 und 7 gegenüber der ersten Ausführungsform besteht darin, dass an den beiden Außenfeldern 1 im Bereich von deren oberen Enden (mit "oben" ist hier das dem Boden der aufzunehmenden Flasche entgegengesetzte Ende der Faltschachtel bezeichnet) jeweils ein Deckelfeld 17 angesetzt ist, das einen etwa halbkreisförmigen Umriss hat, der dem einer Spreizlasche 11 weitestgehend entspricht. An jedem Deckelfeld 17 ist eine Faltlasche 18 angebracht, an der in der Mitte eine Einsteckfahne 19 ausgebildet ist.An essential distinguishing feature of the embodiment of the FIGS. 6 and 7 Compared to the first embodiment is that at the two outer fields 1 in the region of the upper ends (with "top" here the bottom of the male bottle opposite end of the carton called) each have a lid panel 17 is attached, which has an approximately semicircular outline has, which corresponds to a Spreizlasche 11 as far as possible. At each cover panel 17, a folding tab 18 is attached to the in the middle of a Einsteckfahne 19 is formed.

Im Bereich der Faltlinien, wo die oberen Aufdoppelungslaschen 10 an den Innenfeldern 3 angebracht sind, hat jede Aufdoppelungslasche 10 einen Einsteckschlitz 20. Im aufgerichteten, fertigen Zustand der Faltschachtel stützt sich die Faltlasche 18 am Rand des Einsteckschlitzes ab, während die Einsteckfahne 19 in den Einsteckschlitz 20 eingesteckt ist und darin ggf. noch verklebt sein kann. Im flachliegenden Zuschnitt, wie in Fig. 7 dargestellt, ist der das Einführen der Einsteckfahne 19 begrenzende Rand der Einsteckschlitze 20 gegenüber der genannten Faltlinie etwas nach oben versetzt, während die Faltlinien 21, an denen die Deckelfelder 17 an den Außenfeldern 1 angebracht sind, etwas nach unten gegenüber dem oberen Rand der Außenfelder 1 versetzt sind.In the folding lines, where the upper Aufdoppelungslaschen 10 are attached to the inner panels 3, each Aufdoppelungslasche 10 has a Einsteckschlitz 20. In the erected, finished state of the carton, the folding tab 18 is supported on the edge of the insertion slot, while the Einsteckfahne 19 in the insertion slot 20 is plugged in and may possibly still be glued. In flat lay, as in Fig. 7 shown, the insertion of the Einsteckfahne 19 limiting edge of the insertion slots 20 relative to said fold line is slightly offset upwards, while the fold lines 21, where the lid panels 17 are attached to the outer fields 1, slightly downwards relative to the upper edge of the outer panels. 1 are offset.

Dieser Faltschachtelzuschnitt wird dem Verpacker in einem verklebten Zustand angeliefert, in dem die Aufdoppelungslaschen 10 mit ihren Spreizfahnen 11 nach hinten auf die Innenfelder 3 umgelegt und mit diesen verklebt sind, die beiden oberen Aufdoppelungslaschen 10 dabei in einer solchen Art, dass die Einsteckfahnen 19 in die Schlitze 20 noch eingesteckt werden können. Nach dem Zusammenklappen der Innenfelder 3 und dem Umschlagen der Außenfelder 1 und dem Verkleben der Klebelasche 12 mit dem gegenüberliegenden Außenfeld 1, wie am vorangehenden Beispiel beschrieben, ist der Zuschnitt für den Versand zum Verpacker fertiggestellt.This folding box blank is delivered to the packer in a bonded state, in which the doubling tabs 10 are folded with their spreader lugs 11 back to the inner panels 3 and glued to these, the two upper Aufdoppelungslaschen 10 in such a way that the Einsteckfahnen 19 in the Slits 20 can still be inserted. After the folding of the inner panels 3 and the turning of the outer panels 1 and the gluing of the adhesive flap 12 with the opposite outer panel 1, as described in the previous example, the blank for shipment to the packer is completed.

Beim Verpacker wird der flachliegende, verklebte Zuschnitt geöffnet, die Spreizfahnen 11 werden aufgerichtet, die Faltklappen 16 werden nach innen geschlagen und gegebenenfalls mit den unteren Spreizfahnen 11 verklebt, die Deckelklappen 17 werden umgefaltet, deren Laschen 18 werden nach innen gefaltet und die Einsteckfahnen 19 in die Schlitze 20 eingesteckt. Es versteht sich, dass bei dem Aufrichten der Spreizfahnen 11 die Außenfelder 1 entsprechend verformt werden müssen, um das Aufrichten der Spreizfahnen 11 zu ermöglichen.When the packer flat, glued blank is opened, the spreading tabs 11 are erected, the folding flaps 16 are struck inwards and optionally glued to the lower spreader lugs 11, the lid flaps 17 are folded, the tabs 18 are folded inwards and the Einsteckfahnen 19 in the slots 20 are inserted. It is understood that in the erection of the spreader lugs 11, the outer panels 1 must be deformed accordingly to allow the erection of the spreader vanes 11.

Nach dem Befüllen dieser Faltschachtel mit einer Flasche wird die Faltschachtel durch Zusammenklappen ihrer beiden Hälften verschlossen, und über die Faltlinien 5 wird ein Klebeetikett geklebt, das die Faltschachtel in ihrem geschlossenen Zustand sichert.After filling this carton with a bottle, the carton is closed by folding its two halves, and over the fold lines 5, a sticky label is glued, which secures the carton in its closed state.

Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass diese Faltschachtel eine von den Deckelfeldern 17 gebildete obere Abschlussfläche aufweist, ist sie für eine Stapelung mehrerer solcher Faltschachteln geeignet.Due to the fact that this carton has an upper end surface formed by the cover panels 17, it is suitable for stacking a plurality of such cartons.

Fig. 8 zeigt den flachliegenden Zuschnitt einer Faltschachtel, der dem von Fig. 6 sehr ähnlich ist, aber eine andere Gestaltung des Ausschnitts 13 aufweist, die der Gestaltung einer Flasche angepasst ist, die von der aus dem Zuschnitt erstellten Faltschachtel aufgenommen werden soll. Alle Elemente des Zuschnitts von Fig. 6, die denen des Zuschnitts von Fig. 7 entsprechen, sind mit den gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen und werden hier nicht nochmals beschrieben. Fig. 8 shows the flat blank of a carton, the Fig. 6 is very similar, but has a different design of the cutout 13, which is adapted to the design of a bottle to be picked up by the carton made from the blank. All elements of the blank of Fig. 6 similar to those of the blank of Fig. 7 correspond, are provided with the same reference numerals and will not be described again here.

Bei dem Zuschnitt von Fig. 8 ist nicht nur am unteren Ende des Ausschnitts 13 eine Faltklappe 16 angebracht, sondern auch an deren oberen Ende. Die Faltklappen 16 haben in Längsrichtung, wie durch die Faltlinien 2 und 4 definiert, eine Abmessung, die etwa dem halben Durchmesser des Bodens bzw. etwa dem halben Durchmesser des Kopfes der von der Faltschachtel aufzunehmenden Flasche entspricht. Weiterhin setzen sich die Faltklappen in Längsrichtung jeweils in einer Stützfahne 23a bzw. 23b fort, die beim Aufrichten der Faltschachtel nach oben bzw. nach unten abzuknicken ist. Zwei Stützfahnen bilden auf diese Weise jeweils eine Rückwand für den durch die Ausschnitte 13 zugänglich gemachten Hohlraum, die einen Abstand zum benachbarten Außenfeld 1 hat und verhindert, dass die von der Faltschachtel aufgenommene Flasche mit den Innenseiten der Außenfelder 1 in Berührung gelangt. Es ist also möglich, in der Faltschachtel eine Flasche sicher zu verpacken, deren Durchmesser kleiner als der der Faltschachtel ist, ohne dass sich in der geschlossenen Faltschachtel bewegen oder gar mit deren Außenwänden in Berührung gelangen kann und ohne dass hierfür ein gesonderter Einsatz in der Faltschachtel verwendet werden muss. Auch bei dieser Ausführungsform ist es günstig, wenn die Faltklappen 16 mit den Spreizfahnen 11 verklebt sind. Die Verklebung kann schon beim Hersteller der Faltschachtel vorgenommen werden, denn das Flachlegen des verklebten Zuschnitts wird durch diese Verklebung von Spreizfahnen 11 und Faltklappen 16 nicht behindert.When cutting from Fig. 8 not only at the lower end of the cutout 13 is a folding flap 16 attached, but also at its upper end. The folding flaps 16 have in the longitudinal direction, as defined by the fold lines 2 and 4, a dimension which corresponds approximately to half the diameter of the bottom or about half the diameter of the head of the male to be received by the carton bottle. Furthermore, the folding flaps continue in the longitudinal direction in each case in a support lug 23a and 23b, which is to bend upwards or downwards when erecting the carton. Two support lugs form in this way in each case a rear wall for the made accessible by the cutouts 13 cavity, which has a distance from the adjacent outer panel 1 and prevents the recorded from the carton bottle with the inner sides of the outer panels 1 comes into contact. It is therefore possible to safely pack a bottle in the carton whose diameter is smaller than that of the carton without being able to move in the closed carton or even come into contact with its outer walls and without a separate use in the carton must be used. Also in this embodiment, it is advantageous if the folding flaps 16 are glued to the spreading lugs 11. The bonding can be made even at the manufacturer of the carton, because the flattening of the bonded blank is not hindered by this bonding of Spreizfahnen 11 and folding flaps 16.

Fig. 9 zeigt den flachliegenden Kartonzuschnitt einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung, die zur Erstellung einer Faltschachtel bestimmt ist, die einen rautenförmigen Querschnitt hat. Fig. 9 shows the flat carton blank of a further embodiment of the invention, which is intended to produce a carton having a diamond-shaped cross-section.

Der Zuschnitt nach Fig. 9 gleicht im Wesentlichen dem von Fig. 5 mit der Ausnahme, dass die Spreizfahnen 11 nicht die Gestalt von Kreissegmenten haben, sondern von gleichschenkligen Dreiecken. Diese Dreiecke bestimmen die Querschnittsgestalt der aufgerichteten Faltschachtel, weshalb es erforderlich ist, die Außenfelder jeweils durch eine längslaufende Knicklinie 1 c in zwei Außenteilfelder 1 a und 1b zu unterteilen. Dementsprechend muss auch die Schließlasche 6 durch eine längslaufende Knicklinie 6c in zwei Teilfelder 6a und 6b unterteilt sein.The cut to Fig. 9 is essentially the same as Fig. 5 with the exception that the spreader vanes 11 do not have the shape of circle segments, but of isosceles triangles. These triangles determine the cross-sectional shape of the erected carton, which is why it is necessary to subdivide the outer fields in each case by a longitudinal crease line 1 c in two outer subfields 1 a and 1b. Accordingly, the closing flap 6 must be divided by a longitudinal crease line 6c in two subfields 6a and 6b.

An den Außenteilfeldern 1 a und 1b sind oben und unten jeweils Klebelaschen 22 angebracht, die dazu bestimmt sind, auf die Außenteilfelder 1 a und 1 b so umgeschlagen und mit ihnen verklebt zu werden, dass sie in der fertigen Faltschachtel innen liegen.At the outer panels 1 a and 1 b are at the top and bottom adhesive tabs 22 attached, which are intended to be on the outer panel 1 a and 1 b so turned over and glued to them that they are inside in the finished carton.

Die übrigen Merkmale dieses Zuschnitts sind mit denen des Zuschnitts von Fig. 5 vollkommen identisch, weshalb sie entsprechend gleiche Bezugszeichen tragen und hier nicht nochmals erläutert zu werden brauchen.The remaining features of this blank are with those of the blank of Fig. 5 completely identical, which is why they bear the same reference numerals and need not be explained again here.

Wie man aus einem Vergleich der Figuren 5, 7 und 9 ersieht, ist es möglich, auch andere Gestaltungen zu wählen. So ist es auch durchaus denkbar, der Faltschachtel einen hexagonalen Querschnitt zu verleihen, wobei dann entsprechend weitere längslaufende Knicklinien vorgesehen sein und die Spreizfahnen 11 entsprechende Gestalt haben müssen.As can be seen from a comparison of Figures 5 . 7 and 9 It is possible to choose other designs as well. Thus, it is also conceivable to give the carton a hexagonal cross-section, in which case corresponding further longitudinal bending lines must be provided and the spreading tabs 11 must have a corresponding shape.
