In the following description of various embodiments Cartons 10 according to the invention, which preferably consist of cardboard, paper or the like, are provided with identical reference numerals corresponding to one another and corresponding to one another.

The illustrated embodiments of the carton 10 according to the invention are particularly suitable for use as a high quality solid carton.

Thus, the folding box 10 according to the invention has proven to be particularly advantageous for receiving objects in general and for packaging of jewelry, perfumery or the like-goods in particular due to their extremely simple and compact design and because of their extremely high stability. The excellent (physical) properties of the carton 10 according to the invention can be further improved by, for example, moldings (not shown) made of plastic, cardboard, cardboard, wood or the like material are added. Such moldings are on the shape and dimensions of the box body on the one hand and the jewelry, perfumery or the like goods on the other hand exactly adapted. In that regard, the molded body in the carton 10 are free of play or accurately arranged, whereas in turn the jewelry, perfumery or the like-goods are received by the corresponding molding free of play or accurately.

In the Fig. 1 Now, a first embodiment of a folding box 10 designed according to the invention is shown schematically.

The folding box 10 after the Fig. 1 includes a main body 12. As in particular the Fig. 2A can be seen, the main body 12 in this embodiment of four surface elements 14, 14 ', 14'',14''' composed. In detail, these are a front surface element 14, a base element 14 'connected to the front surface element 14, and a bottom element 14', in turn, connected to the bottom element 14 ' rear surface element 14 '' and one with the rear surface element 14 '' associated cover member 14 '''. The respectively adjacent surface elements 14, 14 'and 14', 14 "and 14", 14 '''of the base body 12 are connected to each other via fold lines 16.

As the Fig. 1 and 2A Furthermore, one of the two peripheral surface elements, that is to say either the front surface element 14 or the cover element 14 ''', is assigned a further surface element 14''''. In the present embodiment, the further surface element 14 "" is advantageously attached to the front surface element 14 and connected to it via a fold line 16. The further surface element 14 '''' is provided as a closing element 18 or the like cover element and acts in this respect with the cover element 14 '''together. For this purpose, the end element 18 or the like cover element covers the cover element 14 '''partially in its transition region. The folding box 10 is thus completely surrounded by the basic body, ie without a gap between the front-side area element 14 and the lid element 14 '".

Without being shown in detail, however, it is readily possible to assign the further surface element 14 '' '' or the end element 18 to the cover element 14 '' 'as well. Such a kinematic reversal would only result in the further surface element 14 '' '' or the end element 18 then interacting with the front surface element 14.

Furthermore, the folding box 10 comprises after the Fig. 1 a box body 20. As in particular the Figs. 2B and 2C clearly show, the box body 20 in this embodiment of four surface elements 22, 22 ', 22'',22''' and a bottom member 24 is formed.

The surface elements 22, 22 ', 22'',22''' are around a front surface element 22, lateral surface element 22 ', rear surface element 22''and further lateral surface element 22'''. The two peripheral surface elements 22, 22 '''of the box body 20 are connected to each other via an adhesive tab 26 and a fold line 28. At the same time, the respectively adjacent surface elements 22, 22 'or 22', 22 "or 22 '', 22 '''and22''', 22 connected to each other via fold lines 28.

Furthermore, the bottom element 24 of the box body 20 with the associated surface elements 22, 22 ', 22' ', 22' '' via corresponding adhesive tabs 30 and fold lines 32 is connected.

The box body 20 is partially fixed to the base body 12, such that the box body 20 from a substantially planar bearing position, as in Fig. 3 is shown in a spatial folding position for receiving the at least one object (not shown), as shown in Fig. 4 is shown, can be brought.

The box body 20 is similar to a pivoting up and folded at the same time. In the substantially planar bearing position, two surface elements 22, 22 '' 'or 22', 22 '' of the box body 20 come laterally to the base body 12 for mutual abutment, thus the surface element 22 reaches the surface element 22 '' 'and the surface element In the spatial folding position, the four surface elements 22, 22 ', 22 ", 22"' of the box body 20 are perpendicular to one of the surface elements 14, 14 ', 14 ", 14'. '' of the main body 12, ie also perpendicular to the leaf level, arranged. In all illustrated embodiments of the folding box 10 according to the invention, the bottom element 24 of the box body 20 with the four surface elements 22, 22 ', 22' ', 22' '' on the bottom element 14 'of the base body 12.

The bottom element 24 of the box body 20 has, in particular from the Fig. 2C indicates a substantially square basic shape.

Furthermore, the bottom element 24 is provided with a cutting line 34 which extends diagonally and the basic shape of the bottom element 24 symmetrically up or divided. The cutting line 34 extends from a corner 36 to an opposite corner 36 '' of the bottom element 24. The cutting line 34 extends close to the corners 36, 36 '' of the bottom element 24 zoom.

Without being shown in detail, it is also conceivable to form the bottom element 24 of the box body 20 in two parts. In this case, the two parts are then identical to each other and can be assembled to form a substantially square or rectangular basic shape, in such a way that the two parts are arranged adjacent to one another by a cut edge extending diagonally and dividing the basic shape symmetrically.

The bottom member 24 of the box body 20 is further provided with a fold line 38. The fold line 38 extends over the basic shape of the bottom element 24 essentially diagonally and approximately perpendicularly or, as in the illustrated embodiments according to FIGS Fig. 1 to 7B , slightly different from it.

As in particular from the Fig. 2C and 4 The bottom element 24 of the box body 20 is provided with two fold lines 38 ', 38 "The two fold lines 38', 38" each extend from the opposite corner 36 '''or36' of the basic shape of the bottom element 24 all the way to the diagonally extending cutting line 34, and in each case slightly laterally offset mirror-symmetrically to the center 40 of the bottom element 24. Consequently, the two fold lines 38 ', 38 "are also arranged mirror-symmetrically with respect to each other. By such an arrangement of the fold lines 38 ', 38''is an up and simultaneous Umklappbewegung the box body 20 from the substantially planar bearing position in the spatial folding position, and vice versa, allows, which is comparable to a pivoting movement about.

In order to manufacture the folding carton 10 according to the invention with only a single or at least a few handles on site, ie to set it up, the bottom element 24 of the carton body 20 with one of the surface elements 14, 14 ', 14' ', 14' '' of the main body 12 over a range 42, in particular by means of bonding, connected. For this purpose, the bottom element 14 'of the base body 12 is particularly suitable. The region 42 is substantially surrounded by the cutting line 34, the fold line 38 ', which faces the edge region 44 of the surface element 22' ", and the edge region 44 of the lateral surface element 22 '". Thus, the bottom element 24 via the region 42, which corresponds approximately to a quarter of the basic shape of the bottom element 24, bonded to the bottom element 14 'of the base body 12.

The bottom element 24 of the box body 20 has a basic shape which is substantially equal in shape and dimension to the base surface of the bottom element 14 'of the base body 12. In this way it is achieved that the box body 24 (largely) comes into abutment in the spatial folding position with its front surface element 22 on the front surface element 14 of the base body 12. The same applies to the rear surface element 22 '' of the box body 20 and the rear surface element 14 '' of the body 12. In addition, the lateral surface elements 22 'and 22' '' fall in this way with the peripheral edges 46 of the bottom element 14 'and the cover element 14 '' 'of the base body 12 almost in one plane together.

When in the Fig. 4 illustrated embodiment of the carton 10 according to the invention, the bottom member 24 of the box body 20 is provided with a basic shape in their Dimension to the base surface of the bottom element 14 'of the body 12 is slightly smaller. In that regard, the lateral surface elements 22 'and 22''' appear slightly set back relative to a plane defined by the peripheral edges 46 of the bottom element 14 'and the cover element 14''' level. Of course, without being shown in detail, it is also possible to keep the dimensions of the bottom element 24 of the box body 20 considerably smaller. This would allow a considerably greater repositioning of the lateral surface elements 22 'or 22 "of the box body 20 with respect to the marginal edges 46 of the bottom element 14' and the lid element 14 '" of the base body 12. In such formed, lateral cavities, for example, additional decorations could be accommodated on or in the carton.

How the Fig. 1 to 5C Furthermore, the front and rear surface elements 14, 14 '' of the base body 12 and the surface elements 22, 22 ', 22'',22''' of the box body 20 in shape and dimension to each other substantially, in particular the same size on the other hand, to the bottom element 14 'and lid member 14''' of the base body 12 and the bottom member 24 of the box body 20 designed differently sized. Consequently, the bottom element 14 'and the cover element 14''' of the base body 14 '''and the bottom element 24 of the box body 20 are formed significantly larger. In this way, the carton 10 according to the invention receives a possible cuboid shape. Of course, without being shown in detail, it is readily possible to provide also reverse dimensional ratios.

According to the Fig. 1 and 5A to 5C is the peripheral surface elements 14, 14 '''or in the present embodiment of the carton 10 according to the invention the lid member 14''' and the further surface element 14 '''' in the form of the connecting element 18 of the body 12 is a device 48 assigned to their releasable connection with each other. In this way, the base body 12 after assembly of the box body 20 with one or more objects (not shown) by successively directed folding of front side surface element 14 and arranged surface element 14 '''' or rear surface element 14 '' and associated lid member 14th '''are closed according to the arrows 50. The device 48 for releasable connection ensures that the surface elements 14, 14 '''' or 14 '', 14 '''not automatically solve again.

According to the Fig. 1 and 5A to 5C For example, the releasable connection device 48 comprises a band-shaped connecting element 52, which cooperates with a further band-shaped connecting element 52 '. The folding box 10 according to the invention can thus be sealed by means of a knot and / or a loop. The two cooperating bands 52, 52 'are in the embodiment shown preferably made of decorative material, in particular silk.

Without being shown in detail, instead of the further band-shaped connecting element 52 ', the device 48 for releasable connection can also be assigned an eye-like or button-type connecting element. Cumulatively or alternatively, it is also readily conceivable to form the device 48 for releasable connection magnetically and / or as a snap-action, latching or the like device. Cooperating magnetic and / or snap-action, latching or the like connection elements are used to further improve the aesthetic beauty of the folding box 10 according to the invention in the marginal surface elements 14, 14 '' 'and / or the further surface element 14' '' 'of the base body 12 not visible to the outside.

The FIGS. 6A to 6C show a further embodiment of a carton 10 according to the invention.

Different from the previous embodiment of the folding box 10 is the configuration of the surface elements 14, 14 ', 14'',141''' of the base body 12 and the surface elements 22, 22 ', 22'',22''' and the bottom element 24 of the Box body 20. Accordingly, the surface elements 14, 14 ', 14'',14''' of the base body 12 and the surface elements 22, 22 ', 22'',22''' and the bottom element 24 of the box body 20 in shape and dimension in essence, in particular the same size. The carton 10 obtained in this way, in contrast to that after the Fig. 1 to 5C not a cuboid shape, but essentially a cube shape.

Finally, in the 8A to 8C . 9 and 10 Yet another embodiment of a carton 10 according to the invention presented. In this embodiment, the bottom member 24 of the box body 20 has a substantially rectangular basic shape.

The box body 20 is in turn similar to a pivoting up and at the same time folded down. In the substantially planar bearing position, the two surface elements 22, 22 '''or22', 22 '' of the box body 20 come laterally to the main body 12 for mutual contact. However, since the surface elements 22, 22 ', 22 ", 22''' have different dimensions in pairs, the surface elements 22, 22 '''or22', 22 '' overlap each other to some extent The large area element 22 'completely covers the remainder of the large area element 22''' and with its own remainder the small area element 22 '' again Surface elements 22, 22 ', 22'',22''' of the box body 20 perpendicular to one of the surface elements 14, 14 ', 14'',14''' of the base body 12, ie perpendicular to the leaf level, arranged. In the in the FIGS. 8A to 10 illustrated embodiment of the carton 10 according to the invention, the bottom element 24 of the box body 20 is equally on the bottom element 14 'of the base body 12 with the four surface elements 22, 22', 22 '', 22 ''.

The bottom element 24 of the box body 20 is provided with a cutting line 34 and fold line 38. The cut line extends diagonally from a corner 36 to an opposite corner 36 "of the bottom element 24. The fold line 38 extends over the basic shape of the bottom element 24 essentially diagonally and approximately vertically or, as in the illustrated embodiment according to FIGS FIGS. 8A to 10 , with a greater distance different from it.

As in particular from the Fig. 8C and 10 As can be seen, the bottom member 24 of the box body 20 with two fold lines 38 ', 38''is provided. The two fold lines 38 ', 38 "each extend from the opposite corner 36''' or 36 'of the basic shape of the bottom element 24 up to the diagonal cut line 34, in each case laterally offset mirror-symmetrically to the center 40 of the bottom element 24. Thus, the two fold lines 38 ', 38 "are in turn arranged mirror-symmetrically to one another, however, the lateral offset is greater than in the previously described embodiments of the folding box 10 according to the invention simultaneous Umklappbewegung of the box body 20 from the substantially planar bearing position in the spatial folding position, and vice versa, allows, which is comparable to a pivoting movement about.

According to the previous embodiments of the folding box 10, the bottom element 24 is glued over the area 42, with the bottom element 14 'of the main body 12. In contrast, however, the area 42 due to the rectangular shape of the bottom element 24 is greater than a quarter of the basic shape of the Floor element 24.

How the Fig. 1 to 5C Furthermore, the front and rear surface elements 14, 14 '' of the base body 12 and the surface elements 22, 22 ', 22'',22''' of the box body 20 in shape and dimension to each other substantially, in particular the same size, on the other hand, the base element 14 'and the cover element 14''' of the base body 14 '''and the bottom element 24 of the base element 14' are designed to be different in size to the bottom element 14 'and cover element 14''' of the base body 12 and bottom element 24 of the box body 20 Box body 20 formed significantly larger., In this way, the carton 10 of the invention receives a possible cuboid shape.

The present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments. Thus, it is readily possible to provide the base body 12 with only three surface elements 14, 14 ', 14'', namely a bottom element 14', one connected to the bottom element 14 'front or rear surface element 14''and one with the front or rear surface element 14 '' connected cover element 14 '''. If, with such a configuration, an outer shape and thus a shapely appearance of the folding box 10 according to the invention, as in the other embodiments, probably could not quite reach, such a folding box 10 would in any case equally functional.
