Description

The The invention relates to a container blank of cardboard for cuffing around bottles, cans or other containers or other items.

container blanks of cardboard have a top wall, a bottom wall and side walls on, each with creasing lines on an upper side edge with a side edge of the top wall and at a lower side Edge are connected to a lateral edge of the bottom wall. The Bottom wall or another of the mentioned walls point in between The crease lines separate sections. The container cut is a group of bottles, cans or other containers or other objects folded around and from each other separate sections of the bottom wall are in an overlapping one another Arrangement brought and by hooking or gluing together connected. As a result, the container to a container summarized.

In nomenclature of the European Carton Makers Association (ECMA) Container blanks referred to as "cartons with product integration", because the container wrapped by the container blank contribute to the stability of the container. In the English-speaking world The packaging blanks are called "wrap" and the resulting formed cartons called "wrap-around-carrier".

To prevent inadvertent falling out of bottles from the frontal openings, the container blanks are provided at the bottom and optionally at the top in the side walls with openings into which the lower edge regions and possibly the upper regions of the container partially protrude. As fall protection can also be present in the end openings standing flaps. Examples of such container blanks are in DE 26 55 538 A1 and the EP 05 13 566 A1 described.

Known container blanks for containers with six 0.33 liter bottles have a basis weight of 370-400 g / m ² . You can tear under stress.

From that Based on the object of the invention, a container blank Made of cardboard to provide the loads better withstand.

The Task is by a blanks with the characteristics of the Claim 1 solved. Advantageous embodiments of the container blank are given in the subclaims.

The carton blank according to the invention for cuffing around bottles, cans or other containers or other articles has a top wall, a bottom wall, side walls, each at an upper side edge with a side edge of the top wall and at a bottom side edge with a side edge the bottom wall are connected, wherein at least one of the top, bottom and side walls between their lateral edges of mutually separate portions which are connected to each other in an overlapping arrangement, in the side walls at the upper lateral edges upper openings for the partial reception of upper regions the containers are present, at least the central upper openings are spaced apart by a distance of at least 25 mm from the lateral edges of the top wall and the carton has a basis weight of at most 360 g / m ² .

In the container blank according to the invention, the containers are prevented from falling out of the frontal openings by engagement with their upper regions in the upper openings of the container blank placed around them. In addition, an unfavorable exertion of force of the upper regions on the connecting region of side walls and top wall is avoided by the engagement of the upper regions in the upper openings. For this purpose, at least the middle upper openings for the partial reception of upper regions of containers are particularly far away from the lateral edges of the top wall away. As a result, when carrying a package formed from the package blank and a group of bottles or other containers wherein the user grasps the top panel, the side panels at an angle to the bottlenecks or tops of other containers, at least in the particularly loaded area of the central top openings create, in which a particularly favorable introduction of force in the maximum of 360 g / m ² , so that it is particularly flexible and the container blank in a gentle force application particularly promotional manner applies to the bottle necks. As a result, the blanks hold better conditions loads. In addition, the blanks can be produced with relatively little use of materials and correspondingly reduced costs.

According to one embodiment, at least the middle upper openings extend over a maximum distance of 60 mm from the lateral edges of the top wall. A further extension of the middle upper opening can lead to a weakening of the container blank. According to a further embodiment, at least the middle upper openings over a maximum distance of 40 mm from the lateral edges of the top wall extends away. The optimum range of the distance is about 25 to 40 mm, in particular 30 to 35 mm. In the above areas, the best results are achieved for a reduced basis weight carton.

According to one Design are all upper openings over the same distance from the lateral edges of the top wall extends away. When carrying a container from the container blank and a group of containers will be in the area of all Upper openings a the power transfer favoring Attachment to the upper areas of the container achieved. According to one preferred embodiment, the middle upper openings are over a greater distance from the lateral edges of the Top wall extends away as the outer upper openings. This embodiment favors a lifting of the central area the top wall, in particular, if this with engagement opening or other gripping means is provided. In the outer Upper openings may be the outer ones Keep bottles tightly packed. This comes the stability the container continues to benefit.

According to one advantageous embodiment, the upper openings a width exceeding the diameter of crown caps. This can damage the connection area of Side walls and top wall are avoided by crown corks.

According to one Design is the top wall at the side edges connected to the side walls via fold lines. These are preferably designed as creasing lines. The fold lines facilitate the attachment of the container blank to the upper areas the container. This applies in particular to embodiments, where the blanks initially with the top wall placed on the top of the container to the container wrapped around and by connecting overlapping sections the bottom wall or a side wall is closed.

According to one In another embodiment, the top wall has at least one engagement opening for carrying a container. According to another embodiment has the top wall at a lateral edge of the engagement opening a hinged in the engagement opening handle flap hinged, which closes the container blank in the unused state and padded upon engagement in the engagement opening the edge thereof.

According to one further embodiment, two engagement openings are present, which are spaced from each other. This allows for carrying a thread under engagement of thumb and forefinger in the Engaging holes. According to another Embodiment are the engagement openings in the direction parallel spaced apart from each other at the lateral edges of the top wall.

According to one further embodiment extend from the engagement openings from each side cut lines across the fold lines up into the side walls. The cutting lines favor a lifting of the central region of the top wall when engaging in the Engaging openings, allowing contact from the thumb and fingers with the tops of the bottles is avoided.

in principle can the engagement holes up to the Fold lines extend in the lateral edges of the top wall and the cut lines go out from the fold lines. According to one In another embodiment, the cutting lines extend from the Access openings to the fold lines and these out into the side walls. According to another Embodiment are the cutting lines in the side walls between the middle upper openings and the outer ones arranged upper openings. Preferably extend the cut lines at about the same distance from the upper lateral edges away like the middle upper openings. According to another embodiment, the Cut lines in the side walls parallel to each other and / or diverge with increasing distance from the fold lines. The cut lines facilitate in cooperation with the intervention openings lifting a central region of the top wall from the containers, whereby the engagement in the engaging holes facilitates becomes.

According to one embodiment, the cardboard has a basis weight of a maximum of 300 g / m ² . The basis weight is preferably at least 250 g / m ² . Further preferably, the paperboard has a basis weight in the range of about 270 to 290 g / m ² .

Prefers the cardboard is a kraft cardboard.

In principle, the containers can be prevented from falling out of the frontal openings of the container blank by wrapping the container blank sufficiently tightly around the containers. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the side walls are provided at the lower lateral edge with lower openings for receiving lower edge regions of the container. The container blank is placed around the bottles so that they protrude into the lower openings with the lower edge regions and are prevented from falling out of the end openings by this form closure. In addition or instead, end wall flaps may be present at the end openings, which at least partially close the end openings, for example, as in FIG DE 26 55 538 A1 or the EP 0 513 566 A1 described.

According to one Design widen the lower openings in down the side walls so that they are at a relative rate a small cross section a relatively large bottom edge area of bottles can accommodate.

According to one further embodiment, the lower openings extend from the lower lateral edges of the sidewalls out into the bottom wall. This is favorable for the power transfer from the bottom wall into the side walls. In particular, this can corners of the openings be avoided in the lower edges of the sidewalls, which can tear easily. Advantageous for the Force transfer from the bottom wall into the side walls is further, if according to another embodiment the width of the lower openings in the bottom wall with increasing Distance from the lateral edges of the bottom wall decreases.

Prefers are according to a further embodiment, the lower openings in the side walls trapezoidal or arched and / or in the bottom wall trapezoidal or arched, wherein prefers the long side of the trapezoidal or arched opening in the lower lateral edges of the side walls or the lateral edges of the bottom wall falls.

According to one Another embodiment are in the side walls of the upper edges of the lower openings outgoing Slots available. The slots allow for customization on used containers and reduce to the area the openings acting loads. According to an advantageous Design go from the top of the lower openings two spaced apart slots. According to one Another embodiment takes the distance of the same lower opening outgoing slots with increasing distance from the top of the lower opening too.

According to one Embodiment, the bottom wall Pinolenausstanzungen. Of the thus equipped container blank can for the production used by containers that can be used in quill boxes are in which several containers are transportable. Pinolenkästen serve the transport of returnable bottles. They are one of a kind Base plate upright quills in bottle interspaces one. The quills pass through the Pinolenausstanzungen in the bottom wall of the container blanks. After removing the container blanks the bottles are individually adjustable in the lock box, where they are laterally of quills and possibly additional Partitions are kept, which also from the bottom plate of the quill box stand high.

According to one Design the fibers in the cardboard parallel to the lateral Edges of the bottom, top and side walls.

at an embodiment are unlike traditional ones Bundles cut the fibers in the box parallel to the side Aligned edges of the bottom, top and side walls. at conventional blanks the fibers run vertically to the side edges, because the cardboard is in the direction the fibers the greatest tear resistance has and the main load of the container blank vertically done to the side edges. conventional Container blanks are vertical due to the orientation of the fibers to the lateral edges in the automatic packaging machine only Ground fillets foldable along the side edges the bottom wall run. Surprisingly, however in the context of the invention found that the Bodenrilllinien conventional container blanks damage the fibers and this reduces the load capacity of the carton. traditionally, This was done by using kraft cardboard with a corresponding high grammage. According to the invention was surprisingly by aligning the fibers in the cardboard parallel to the lateral ones Reaches edges of bottom, top and side edges, that the container blank along the lateral edges the bottom wall around the lower edge portions of the containers is lying around and the loads through the containers withstand. As a result, the grammage of the carton can be further reduced.

The The invention relates to embodiments with bottom grooves or others Floor fold lines at the lateral edges of the bottom wall one, the folding of the bottom wall with respect to the side walls facilitate. Because the bottom fold lines are aligned parallel to the fibers are, the connecting area of the bottom and side walls possibly slightly weakened by the bottom fold lines. Preferred are in a further difference to conventional No blanks or other bottom fold lines between the lower lateral edges of the side walls and the lateral edges of the bottom wall. As a result, will in the connection area between the side walls and bottom wall no fibers are damaged and becomes the craft of the blanks further improved or the use of cardboard with low grammage favored.

The connecting portions of the bottom wall and side walls are placed around the lower edges of the containers when the container blank is attached to a group of containers. Here, the connecting portions of the bottom wall and side walls are bent or folded around the lower edges of the containers. Preferably, they are bent around. Especially if no Floor folding lines are present, the lower edges of the container can serve as a tool for bending or folding the connecting portions. The bending or folding of the lower edge regions of the side walls or the outer edge regions of the bottom wall takes place parallel to the fibers, so that they are not damaged. Due to the bending or folding around the orientation of the fibers, smooth, even bending radii or folded edges are achieved. The existing between the fibers toothing in the cardboard material is maintained in the gentle bending or folding of the material. As a result, the connecting portions of the bottom wall and side walls are stable and can withstand higher loads. This favors the use of cardboard of lower grammage, which in turn favors a straight course of the bent or folds. According to the invention, a sufficiently stable container blank for a group of six 0.33 liter beverage bottles can be produced from a kraft carton having a grammage of only 270 to 360 g / m ² . This also applies to a container blank, which is provided to secure bottles against falling out of the frontal openings with lower openings in the lower edge region of the side walls, which weaken this area. Surprisingly enough, the tensile strength of the paperboard is also sufficient when the fibers are oriented parallel to the lateral edges, even at reduced grammages.

Further The invention relates to a container comprising a group of containers and a blanks according to one of the above explained claims that with the top wall the tops of the containers, with the side walls at the periphery of the container and with the bottom wall at the bottom of the Container rests, at the lower lateral edges the side walls around the lower edge portions of the container is laid around, wherein the sections of the at least one separate Sections having wall overlap each other and each other are connected. In this container is the blanks to the lower lateral edges of the sidewalls the lower edge regions of the container laid around, preferably bent around or folded over. The lower edge areas of the containers can as a tool for bending or folding the connection areas be used by side walls and bottom wall.

According to one advantageous embodiment, the container with lower grip Edge areas in lower openings of the container blank one.

According to one Another embodiment, the container with upper areas in the upper openings of the container blank. The lower or upper openings prevent falling out of bottles from the frontal openings of the container blank.

According to one further embodiment are the overlapping ones Sections of the at least one wall glued together and / or hooked. According to another embodiment the containers bottles. According to another embodiment are they cans. Instead of the container, the container can also include other items.

These each have trapezoidal sections 8.1 . 9.1 in the side walls 5 . 6 fall and trapezoidal sections 8.2 . 9.2 in the sections 7.1 . 7.2 the bottom wall fall. The long sides of the trapezoidal sections 8.1 . 8.2 respectively. 9.1 . 9.2 the lower openings 8th . 9 fall 8.3 . 9.3 each other. There are the side wall bordering 5 to the section 7.1 the bottom wall and the side wall 6 to the section 7.2 the bottom wall.

From upper corners of the lower openings 8th . 9 out short slits extend 10.1 . 10.2 . 11.1 . 11.2 in the side walls 5 . 6 , The distance of the slots 9 . 10 from each other increases with increasing distance from the lower openings 8th . 9 ,

In the sections 7.1 . 7.2 are Pinolenausstanzungen 12.1 . 12.2 available. The section 7.1 has two Pinolenausstanzungen 12.1 with the full cross section of a quill and at the front edges in each case a Pinolenausstanzung with half the cross section of a quill. The section 7.2 has only on the lateral edge laterally open Pinolenausstanzungen 12.2 with a small partial cross-section of a quill.

In the top wall 2 are two spaced engagement openings 13.1 . 13.2 present, which have on the sides facing each other a straight line boundary and on the sides facing away from each other a rounded boundary. On the mutually facing sides of the engagement openings 13.1 . 13.2 are handle flaps 14.1 . 14.2 hinged.

Furthermore, the side walls 5 . 6 adjacent to the score lines 3 . 4 upper openings 15 . 16 on, extending sideways from the crease lines 3 . 4 extend away. Directly adjacent to the score lines 3 . 4 they have parallel boundaries and in the further distance of converging boundaries.

Furthermore, the top wall has 2 in upper openings 15 . 16 standing in projections 17 . 18 which are approximately semicircular.

The orientation of the fibers in the direction of arrow F is parallel to the score lines 3 . 4 and to the connections of the sidewalls 5 . 6 with the sections 7.1 . 7.2 the bottom wall 7 passing through the points 8.3 . 9.3 run.

According to 2 is the cut 1.1 a group of six bottles 19 placed in two rows of three bottles each 19 are arranged side by side. The container cut 1.1 is with the top wall 2 over the bottle cap 20 the bottles 19 arranged, with the projections 17 . 18 the bottle caps 20 cover laterally. The side walls 5 . 6 lie on the circumference of the bottles 19 on, with the bottles 19 with their upper areas 21 in the upper openings 15 . 16 intervention. Furthermore, the bottles attack 19 with their lower edge areas 22 in the sections 8.1 . 9.1 the lower openings 8th . 9 one. The sections 7.1 . 7.2 are under the bottoms of the bottles 19 bent and glued together in overlapping areas. In the bottom wall 7 are by the edge superimposed Pinolenausstanzungen 12.1 . 12.2 complete sleeve punching 12 educated.

The overlap areas are in 3 visible, noticeable. Further is 3 removable, since the connecting areas of the side walls 5 . 6 with the sections 7.1 . 7.2 gently bent so that the fibers are cut to size 1.1 not be destroyed. Due to the reduced load on the blank, this can be produced from a material with a grammage of only 270-290 g / m ² .

Since the crown corks completely in the upper openings 16 intervene, the introduction of harmful forces into the joint area of the sidewalls 5 . 6 and top wall 2 avoided.

The of the openings 8th . 9 outgoing slots 10.1 . 10.2 . 11.1 . 11.2 allow an adjustment of the side walls 5 . 6 at the lower edge area of the bottles lower and also contribute to the avoidance of voltage peaks.

The container cut 1.2 from 4 differs from the above-described in that the outer upper openings 15.2 . 15.3 . 16.2 . 16.3 in the direction perpendicular to the score lines 3 . 4 shorter than the middle upper openings 15.1 . 16.1 are formed. The middle upper openings 15.1 . 16.1 correspond to the middle upper openings of the previously described blank 1.1 , The lateral upper openings taper directly from their starting point to the crease lines 3 . 4 out.

The container cut 1.2 indicates the largest diameter of the engaging holes 13.1 . 13.2 outgoing cut lines 23 . 24 on, reflected in the top wall 2 up to the score lines 3 . 4 extend and starting from the crease lines 3 . 4 in the side walls 5 . 6 extend into it. First, the cutting lines run 23 . 24 parallel, approximately to the distance from the crease lines, in which also the boundaries of the middle upper openings 15.1 . 16.1 run parallel. Starting from this point, the cut lines diverge 23 . 24 with increasing distance from the score lines 3 . 4 , They end at about the same distance from the crease lines as the upper openings 15.1 . 16.1 ,

According to 5 This can be cut to size 1.2 in the same way with a group of bottles 19 attached, as the previously described container blank 1.1 , The view of this container from below corresponds 3 ,

According to 6 is the lifting of the container by interfering with the intervention openings 13.1 . 13.2 thereby facilitating that of the engagement openings 13.1 . 13.2 and the cutting lines 23 . 24 limited area of the top wall 2 slightly upwards and the areas bounded by the cut lines in the side walls 5 . 6 something to come inside. As a result, a contact of the engaging fingers with the upper areas 21 the bottles 19 or the bottle cap 20 be avoided.

The container cut 1.3 from 7 differs from the container blank 1.2 from 4 to 6 in that the middle upper openings 15:11 . 16:11 in the direction perpendicular to the score lines 3 . 4 shorter (about 30 to 35 mm) than the middle upper openings 15.1 . 15.2 are formed, but they are longer than the lateral upper openings 15:21 . 16:21 . 15:31 . 16:31 (about 20 to 25 mm) are.

In addition, the cutting lines diverge 23.1 . 24.1 less strong than the cutting lines 23 . 24 , By these measures, the strength of the upper portion of the bundle section is further improved.

Furthermore, they are in the side walls 5 . 6 falling sections 8.11 . 9.11 the lower openings are arched and not trapezoidal like the sections 8.1 . 9.1 , As a result, the strength of the lower portion of the container blank 1.3 improved.

Finally, the handle flaps 14:11 . 14:21 at the opposite ends of their hinges each via webs 25 . 26 with the top wall 2 connected.
