Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Karton aus Pappe, Wellpappe o.ä. mit einem Aufnahmeteil, mit einer Bodenwand und mit Seitenwänden sowie mit einem Deckelteil, das mit der hinteren Seitenwand verbunden ist und eine Einstecklasche aufweist, die in geschlossenem Zustand des Kartons an der Innenseite der vorderen Seitenwand anliegt.The invention relates to a cardboard box made of cardboard, corrugated cardboard or the like. with a receiving part, with a bottom wall and with side walls, and with a cover part which is connected to the rear side wall and has an insertion flap which, when the box is closed, lies against the inside of the front side wall.

Derartige Kartons sind allgemein bekannt und werden bei­spielsweise zur Verpackung von Keksen verwendet. Dazu wird nach dem Befüllen des Aufnahmeteils das über eine Faltlinie mit dessen hinterer Seitenwand verbundene Deckelteil heruntergeklappt und die Einstecklasche zur Anlage an der Innenseite der vorderen Seitenwand gebracht. Danach wird der Karton üblicherweise durch Umwickeln mit Papier oder mit einer Folie verschlossen.Cartons of this type are generally known and are used, for example, for packaging biscuits. For this purpose, after the receiving part has been filled, the cover part, which is connected to its rear side wall by means of a folding line, is folded down and the insertion tab is brought into contact with the inside of the front side wall. The cardboard is then usually closed by wrapping it with paper or a film.

Diese bekannten Kartons eignen sich zwar zur Aufnahme von kleinen Gegenständen wie Keksen, sind jedoch für die Aufnahme und den Transport von größeren Gegenständen, insbesondere Behältern nicht geeignet. Hierfür werden zur Zeit im allgemeinen aus einem Kartonzuschnitt hergestellte Faltkartons verwendet. Diese Kartons werden zum Befüllen so gefaltet, daß ihre Seitenwände aufrechtstehen und eine durch umfaltbare Laschen gebildete Bodenwand vorhanden ist, wobei die Laschen der Bodenwand im allgemeinen durch direktes Verkleben oder durch aufgebrachte Klebestreifen in ihrer Lage gehalten werden. Die später den Deckel bildenden Laschen werden in eine senkrechte Lage gebracht, und dann das zu verpackende Gut in den Karton eingebracht. Danach werden auch diese Laschen zur Bildung des Deckels gefaltet und entweder durch direkte Klebung oder durch Aufbringen eines Klebestreifens verschlossen.Although these known cartons are suitable for holding small objects such as cookies, they are not suitable for holding and transporting larger objects, in particular containers. For this purpose, folding boxes produced from a cardboard blank are generally used. These boxes are used for filling like this folded so that their side walls are upright and there is a bottom wall formed by foldable tabs, the tabs of the bottom wall generally being held in place by direct gluing or by adhesive tape applied. The tabs that later form the lid are brought into a vertical position, and then the goods to be packaged are placed in the carton. Then these flaps are folded to form the lid and closed either by direct gluing or by applying an adhesive strip.

Diese bekannten Kartons eignen sich gut zum Befüllen und Transportieren von Gütern. Sie haben jedoch den Nachteil, daß sie sich nur verhältnismäßig schlecht öffnen lassen, um das verpackte Gut zu entnehmen. Es müssen nämlich beispiels­weise die Deckellaschen aufgerissen werden, was häufig schwierig ist. Darüber hinaus behindern die Deckellaschen das Entnehmen des verpackten Gutes, und beim Entnehmen muß von oben in den Karton gegriffen und das Gut nach oben herausgehoben werden, was ebenfalls umständlich ist. Man ist deshalb auch bereits dazu übergegangen, den oberen Teil eines solchen Kartons mittels eines Messers abzutrennen, um auf diese Weise einerseits das Öffnen zu vereinfachen und andererseits das verpackte Gut im verbleibenden, dann nur noch tray-förmigen Behälter leichter entnehmen zu können. Hierbei ergibt sich jedoch die Schwierigkeit, daß mit dem Messer häufig zu tief in den Karton eingeschnitten und dadurch das verpackte Gut beschädigt wird. Ein weiteres Problem bei dieser Art der Öffnung besteht darin, daß ein Hilfswerkzeug, nämlich ein Messer erforderlich ist.These known boxes are well suited for filling and transporting goods. However, they have the disadvantage that they are relatively difficult to open in order to remove the packaged goods. For example, the cover flaps have to be torn open, which is often difficult. In addition, the lid flaps hinder the removal of the packaged goods, and when removing the goods must be reached from above into the box and the goods must be lifted upwards, which is also cumbersome. It has therefore already been started to cut off the upper part of such a carton by means of a knife, in order to simplify opening on the one hand and, on the other hand, to more easily remove the packaged goods in the remaining, then only tray-shaped container. Here, however, there is the difficulty that the knife often cuts too deeply into the carton, thereby damaging the packaged goods. Another problem with this type of opening is that an auxiliary tool, namely a knife, is required.

Die vorstehend beschriebenen Kartons sind völlig ungeeignet, um als Display-Kartons auf einer Palette verwendet zu werden, wie dies heute häufig vom Einzelhandel gefordert wird. Eine solche Palette mit Display-Kartons muß vom Hersteller gesondert gefertigt werden, wozu dann beispiels­ weise das zu verpackende Gut nicht mehr in die vorstehend beschriebenen Kartons, sondern in einfache Trays gefüllt wird. Der Tray und das in ihm enthaltene Gut wird dann in eine Kunststoff-Folie eingesiegelt. Hierbei handelt es sich beim Hersteller um einen von der üblichen Art der Verpackung abweichenden Verpackungsvorgang, der mit hohen Kosten ver­bunden ist, während der Einzelhändler die Schwierigkeit hat, die bei ihm anfallende Kunststoff-Folie zu beseitigen.The cartons described above are completely unsuitable for use as display cartons on a pallet, as is often required by retailers today. Such a pallet with display boxes must be manufactured separately by the manufacturer, for which purpose, for example the goods to be packed are no longer filled in the boxes described above, but in simple trays. The tray and the goods it contains are then sealed in a plastic film. The manufacturer is dealing with a packaging process that deviates from the usual type of packaging and is associated with high costs, while the retailer has difficulty in eliminating the plastic film that is produced by him.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Karton zu schaffen, der sich einerseits ohne Hilfswerkzeug leicht öffnen läßt und der andererseits als Display-Karton geeignet ist, und zwar auch bei Anordnung einer größeren Anzahl derartiger Kartons auf einer Palette.It is an object of the invention to provide a carton which can be easily opened on the one hand without an auxiliary tool and which is also suitable as a display carton, even if a large number of such cartons are arranged on a pallet.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird ein Karton der eingangs erwähnten Art erfindungsgemäß derart ausgestaltet, daß in der vorderen Seitenwand eine nach oben offene Aussparung vorgesehen ist, die im geschlossenen Zustand des Kartons von der Einstecklasche überdeckt wird.To solve this problem, a carton of the type mentioned is designed according to the invention such that an upwardly open recess is provided in the front side wall, which is covered by the insertion flap in the closed state of the carton.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Karton fehlt also ein Teil der vorderen Seitenwand, und dieser Teil wird, bei geschlossenem Karton, von der Einstecklasche des Deckelteils abgedeckt und damit verschlossen. Zum Öffnen braucht somit lediglich das Deckelteil entfernt zu werden, etwa durch Abreißen im Übergangsbereich zur hinteren Seitenwand, und es kann dann das gesamte Deckelteil unter Herausziehen der Einstecklasche entfernt werden, so daß der Karton geöffnet ist und das in ihm verpackte Gut durch die Aussparung hindurch zu erkennen sowie leicht zugänglich für die Entnahme ist.In the case of the cardboard box according to the invention, part of the front side wall is therefore missing, and this part, when the box is closed, is covered by the plug-in flap of the cover part and thus closed. To open the cover part only needs to be removed, for example by tearing it off in the transition area to the rear side wall, and the entire cover part can then be removed by pulling out the insertion flap, so that the carton is opened and the goods packed in it through the cutout recognizable and easily accessible for removal.

Vorzugsweise beträgt die Breite der Aussparung etwa 50% bis 80% der Breite der vorderen Seitenwand und die Höhe der Aussparung etwa 60% bis 90% der Höhe der vorderen Seiten­wand, so daß der verbleibende Seitenwandteil verhältnismäßig klein ist und die Aussparung bei entferntem Deckelteil sowohl eine gute Displaywirkung ergibt als auch eine einfache Entnahme des verpackten Gutes gestattet.Preferably, the width of the recess is about 50% to 80% of the width of the front side wall and the height of the recess is about 60% to 90% of the height of the front side wall, so that the remaining side wall part is proportional is small and the recess when the cover part is removed both gives a good display effect and allows easy removal of the packaged goods.

Um einen stabilen Verschluß im Bereich der Aussparung sowie eine gute Abstützung gegen den Stauchdruck infolge auf dem Karton gestapelter Kartons zu erhalten, kann die Größe der Einstecklasche gleich der Größe der Innenseite der vorderen Seitenwand sein.In order to obtain a stable closure in the area of the recess and a good support against the upsetting pressure as a result of boxes stacked on the box, the size of the insertion flap can be equal to the size of the inside of the front side wall.

Um das Deckelteil zum Öffnen des Kartons leicht vom Aufnahmeteil lösen zu können, kann das Deckelteil mit der hinteren Seitenwand des Aufnahmeteils über eine perforierte Fallinie verbunden sein. Das Verschließen des Kartons sowie dessen Öffnen kann jedoch dadurch weiter vereinfacht werden, daß das Deckelteil an seiner der Einstecklasche gegenüber­liegenden Seite eine Befestigungslasche aufweist, die mit der Außenfläche .der hinteren Seitenwand durch Klebung verbunden ist.In order to be able to easily detach the cover part from the receiving part in order to open the carton, the cover part can be connected to the rear side wall of the receiving part via a perforated drop line. However, closing the carton and opening it can be further simplified in that the lid part has a fastening tab on its side opposite the insertion tab, which is connected to the outer surface of the rear side wall by adhesive bonding.

Bei einem solchen Aufbau kann die Einstecklasche des Deckelteils zunächst von oben in das befüllte Aufnahmeteil zwischen dem eingefüllten Gut und der vorderen Seitenwand eingesteckt und danach das Deckelteil umgefaltet werden, so daß es auf der Oberkante der hinteren Seitenwand aufliegt und die Befestigungslasche an deren Außenfläche festgeklebt werden kann. Zum Entfernen des Deckelteils braucht dann lediglich die Befestigungslasche abgerissen zu werden, worauf das Deckelteil unter Herausziehen der Einstecklasche entfernt werden kann.With such a construction, the insertion flap of the lid part can first be inserted into the filled receiving part between the filled goods and the front side wall and then the lid part can be folded over so that it rests on the upper edge of the rear side wall and the fastening flap is glued to the outer surface can. To remove the cover part, the fastening tab then only has to be torn off, whereupon the cover part can be removed by pulling out the insertion tab.

Um ein vollständiges Verschließen des Kartons zu erreichen, kann das Deckelteil an seinen der Einstecklasche benach­barten Seiten Sicherungslaschen aufweisen, die im geschlos­senen Zustand des Kartons mit den Außenflächen der der vorderen Seitenwand und benachbarten Seitenwände durch Klebung verbunden sind. Diese Sicherheitslaschen können, falls die Befestigung des Deckelteils an der hinteren Seitenwand mittels einer Befestigungslasche erfolgt, gleich­zeitig mit der Befestigungslasche angeklebt werden, und sie stellen sicher, daß im Bereich der Seitenkanten des Deckel­teils kein Schmutz in den Behälter eindringen kann und ohne Entfernen der Einstecklasche und/oder des Deckelteils kein verpacktes Gut entnommen werden kann.In order to achieve a complete closure of the carton, the cover part can have securing tabs on its sides adjacent to the insertion flap, which, when the carton is closed, pass through with the outer surfaces of the front side wall and adjacent side walls Bond are connected. If the lid part is attached to the rear side wall by means of a fastening tab, these security tabs can be glued at the same time as the attachment tab, and they ensure that no dirt can enter the container in the area of the side edges of the lid part and without removing the insert tab and / or no packaged goods can be removed from the cover part.

Das Öffnen des Kartons wird dann besonders vereinfacht, wenn im der freien, geschlossenen Zustand des Kartons parallel zur Ebene der Bodenwand verlaufenden Kante der Einsteck­lasche abgewandten Bereich der Einstecklasche ein von außen zugänglicher, im geschlossenen Zustand des Kartons parallel zur Ebene der Bodenwand verlaufender Aufreißfaden oder -streifen vorgesehen ist.The opening of the carton is particularly simplified if, in the free, closed state of the carton, the region of the insert flap facing away from the edge of the insertion flap parallel to the plane of the bottom wall, a tear thread accessible from the outside and running parallel to the plane of the bottom wall in the closed state of the carton or strip is provided.

Mittels eines solchen Aufreißstreifens ist es möglich, die Einstecklasche vom Deckelteil zu trennen, ohne das Deckel­teil von der hinteren Seitenwand zu lösen. Nach der Trennung kann nämlich die Einstecklasche unter entsprechender Verfor­mung seitlich durch die Aussparung in der vorderen Seiten­wand herausgezogen werden, so daß das verpackte Gut sichtbar wird, also ein Display-Karton entsteht, ohne daß im allge­meinen jedoch das verpackte Gut entnommen werden kann, bevor das Deckelteil entfernt wurde.With such a tear strip, it is possible to separate the insertion flap from the cover part without detaching the cover part from the rear side wall. After separation, the insertion tab can be pulled out laterally through the recess in the front side wall, with the corresponding deformation, so that the packaged goods become visible, i.e. a display box is formed, but without the packaged goods generally being able to be removed before the Lid part was removed.

In diesem Zusammenhang sei erwähnt, daß sich bei Anordnung einer Vielzahl solcher Kartons auf einer Palette dadurch eine Display-Wirkung erreichen läßt, daß bei allen auf der Palette befindlichen Kartons die Einstecklasche entfernt wird, so daß das verpackte Gut aller Kartons sichtbar wird. Jedoch lediglich von der oberen Lage Kartons werden die Deckelteile entfernt, so daß die Kunden das verpackte Gut aus den Kartons dieser oberen Lage entnehmen können. Ist die obere Lage von Kartons leer, wird sie entfernt, und die Deckelteile der Kartons der nachfolgenden Lage werden abgerissen.In this context, it should be mentioned that when arranging a large number of such boxes on a pallet, a display effect can be achieved by removing the insertion flap from all boxes on the pallet, so that the packed goods of all boxes are visible. However, the cover parts are only removed from the upper layer of cardboard boxes, so that customers can remove the packaged goods from the cardboard boxes of this upper layer. If the top layer of boxes is empty, it is removed and the Lid parts of the boxes of the following layer are torn off.

Der Aufreißfaden oder -streifen kann an der Innenseite von durch Einschnitte gebildeten Lappen der Einstecklasche befestigt sein und sich über die gesamte Breite der Einstecklasche erstrecken. Es ist daher lediglich erforder­lich, die Lappen von außen zu ergreifen und das Aufreißen in Richtung des Verlaufes des Aufreißfadens oder -streifens vorzunehmen, um eine vollständige Trennung der Einsteck­lasche vom Deckelteil zu erreichen.The tear thread or strip can be fastened to the inside of tabs of the insertion flap formed by incisions and can extend over the entire width of the insertion flap. It is therefore only necessary to grasp the flaps from the outside and to tear open in the direction of the course of the tear thread or strip in order to achieve a complete separation of the insertion flap from the cover part.

Vorteilhafterweise besteht das Aufnahmeteil aus einem Zu­schnitt, der die Bodenwand, die hintere und vordere Seiten­wand sowie von diesen ausgehende, Randbereiche der übrigen Seitenwände bildende Laschen bildet, sowie aus Seitenwand­bereichen, die an den Innenflächen der Laschen befestigt sind.Advantageously, the receiving part consists of a blank which forms the bottom wall, the rear and front side walls and tabs forming from these and forming edge regions of the other side walls, and also side wall areas which are fastened to the inner surfaces of the tabs.

Da die Seitenwandbereiche üblicherweise mit den Laschen des Zuschnittes verklebt werden, kann als Material für den Zuschnitt eine übliche Pappe oder Wellpappe verwendet werden, während die gewünschte hohe Stauchdruckfestigkeit und damit eine sehr gute Stapelbarkeit dadurch erreicht wird, daß die Seitenwandbereiche aus einem Material hoher Festigkeit hergestellt werden. Im übrigen erhält man bei diesem Aufbau auch eine durchgehende Bodenwand aus einer einzigen Materialschicht, während bei den vorstehend be­schriebenen Kartons im Bereich der Bodenwand mehrere Mate­rialschichten vorhanden sind, wobei die Dicke der Bodenwand bereichsweise unterschiedlich sein kann.Since the side wall areas are usually glued to the flaps of the blank, customary cardboard or corrugated cardboard can be used as the material for the blank, while the desired high compressive strength and thus very good stackability are achieved in that the side wall areas are made from a material of high strength will. Otherwise, this construction also gives a continuous bottom wall made of a single layer of material, while in the case of the cartons described above there are several layers of material in the area of the bottom wall, the thickness of the bottom wall being able to vary in some areas.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand der ein Ausführungs­beispiel zeigenden Figuren näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the figures showing an embodiment.

Figur 1 zeigt in einer auseinandergezogenen Darstellung verschiedene Fertigungsstufen des Kartons.Figure 1 shows an exploded view of various stages of the production of the carton.

Figur 2 zeigt in perspektivischer Darstellung einen aus den Teilen gemäß Figur 1 hergestellten, verschlos­senen Karton.Figure 2 shows a perspective view of a closed carton made from the parts of Figure 1.

Wie in der Darstellung A in Figur 1 gezeigt, wird das Aufnahmeteil des Kartons aus einem einzigen Zuschnitt hergestellt, der Abschnitte für eine Bodenwand 1, eine hintere Seitenwand 2 und eine vordere Seitenwand 3 aufweist, die jeweils über Faltlinien miteinander verbunden sind. An den Abschnitt für die Bodenwand 1 schließen seitlich über Faltlinien Laschen 5 und 6, an den Abschnitt für die hintere Seitenwand 2 seitlich über Faltlinien Laschen 7 und 8 und an die vordere Seitenwand 3 seitlich über Faltlinien Laschen 9 und 10 an. Ferner ist im Abschnitt für die vordere Seitenwand 3 eine Aussparung 4 vorhanden, die zu der dem Abschnitt für die hintere Seitenwand 2 abgewandten Seite offen ist.As shown in illustration A in FIG. 1, the receiving part of the carton is produced from a single blank which has sections for a bottom wall 1, a rear side wall 2 and a front side wall 3, which are each connected to one another by fold lines. The section for the bottom wall 1 is connected laterally via fold lines tabs 5 and 6, the section for the rear side wall 2 laterally via fold lines tabs 7 and 8 and the front side wall 3 laterally via fold lines tabs 9 and 10. Furthermore, in the section for the front side wall 3 there is a recess 4 which is open to the side facing away from the section for the rear side wall 2.

Der Zuschnitt gemäß Darstellung A wird zur Herstellung des Aufnahmeteils in die Stellung gemäß Darstellung B gefaltet, und die Seitenwandbereiche 11 und 12 gemäß Darstellung C werden in den gefalteten Zuschnitt gemäß Darstellung B so eingesetzt, daß sie an den Innenflächen der Lappen 5, 7, 9 und 6, 8, 10 anliegen. Sobald sie mit diesen durch Klebung verbunden wurden, ergibt sich das Aufnahmeteil gemäß Dar­stellung D. Dieses Aufnahmeteil kann mit einem Deckelteil 13 verschlossen werden, das an einer Seite eine über eine Faltlinie mit ihm verbundene Einstecklasche 14 aufweist, deren Abmessungen den Abmessungen der Innenseite der vorde­ren Seitenwand 3 entsprechen. An der der Verbindungslasche 14 gegenüberliegenden Seite ist am Deckelteil 13 über eine Faltlinie eine Befestigungslasche 15 angeformt, während an den der Befestigungslasche 15 benachbarten Seiten des Deckelteils 13 über Faltlinien Sicherungslaschen 16 und 17 ausgebildet sind.The blank according to illustration A is folded into the position according to illustration B to produce the receiving part, and the side wall regions 11 and 12 according to illustration C are inserted into the folded blank according to illustration B so that they are on the inner surfaces of the tabs 5, 7, 9 and 6, 8, 10 are present. As soon as they have been connected to them by gluing, the receiving part results as shown in representation D. This receiving part can be closed with a cover part 13, which on one side has an insertion flap 14 connected to it via a fold line, the dimensions of which correspond to the dimensions of the inside of the front Side wall 3 correspond. At the connection tab 14 opposite side, a fastening tab 15 is formed on the cover part 13 via a fold line, while securing tabs 16 and 17 are formed on the sides of the cover part 13 adjacent to the fastening tab 15 via fold lines.

Nach dem Befüllen des Aufnahmeteils wird die Verbindungs­lasche 14 in den Bereich zwischen in das Aufnahmeteil gemäß Darstellung D eingebrachtes, zu verpackendes Gut und die Innenseite der vorderen Seitenwand 3 eingesteckt, so daß das Deckelteil 13 zur Auflage auf den oberen Kanten der hinteren Seitenwand 2 und der diesen benachbarten Seitenwände kommt. Nunmehr können die Befestigungslasche 15 und die Sicherungs­laschen 16 und 17 umgefaltet und an den Außenflächen der zugehörigen Seitenwände festgeklebt werden. Der so erhal­tene, verschlossene Karton ist in Figur 2 gezeigt.After filling the receiving part, the connecting tab 14 is inserted into the area between the goods to be packaged, which are introduced into the receiving part as shown in illustration D, and the inside of the front side wall 3, so that the cover part 13 for resting on the upper edges of the rear side wall 2 and these neighboring side walls. Now the fastening tab 15 and the securing tabs 16 and 17 can be folded over and glued to the outer surfaces of the associated side walls. The sealed carton thus obtained is shown in Figure 2.

Benachbart zur Faltlinie zwischen Deckelteil 13 und Einsteck­lasche 14 ist an der Einstecklasche 14 ein gestrichelt angedeuteter Aufreißfaden oder -streifen befestigt. Dieser besteht, wie üblich, aus einem Material deutlich größerer Reißfestigkeit als die Einstecklasche 14, und er kann beispielsweise auf die Innenfläche der Einstecklasche 14 aufgeklebt sein. Durch doppel-T-förmige Einschnitte sind etwa in der Mitte der Einstecklasche 14 Lappen 18 und 19 gebildet, an denen der Aufreißstreifen oder -faden 20 befestigt ist. Durch Ziehen an den Lappen 18 und 19 kann der Aufreißfaden benutzt werden, um die Verbindungslasche 14 entlang einer parallel zur Faltlinie zwischen dieser und dem Deckelteil 13 verlaufenden Naht abzutrennen.Adjacent to the fold line between the cover part 13 and the insertion flap 14, a tear-open thread or strip indicated by dashed lines is attached to the insertion flap 14. As usual, this consists of a material with a significantly greater tear resistance than the insertion flap 14, and it can, for example, be glued to the inner surface of the insertion flap 14. By double-T-shaped incisions 14 tabs 18 and 19 are formed approximately in the middle of the insertion tab, to which the tear strip or thread 20 is attached. By pulling on the tabs 18 and 19, the tear thread can be used to sever the connecting tab 14 along a seam running parallel to the fold line between the latter and the cover part 13.

Wie Figur 2 zu entnehmen ist, bildet der geschlossene Karton eine gut stapelbare Einheit, bei der der Stauchdruck im wesentlichen von der hinteren Seitenwand 2, der vorderen Seitenwand 3 sowie den Seitenwandbereichen 11 und 12 aufgenommen wird und bei dem auch die Einstecklasche 14 zur Stauchdruckfestigkeit beiträgt, so daß sie die Schwächung infolge der in der vorderen Seitenwand 3 ausgebildeten Aussparung 4 ausgleicht.As can be seen in FIG. 2, the closed carton forms an easily stackable unit in which the upsetting pressure is essentially absorbed by the rear side wall 2, the front side wall 3 and the side wall regions 11 and 12 and in which the insertion flap 14 is also used Compression resistance contributes so that it compensates for the weakening due to the recess 4 formed in the front side wall 3.

Zum Öffnen eines einzelnen Kartons gemäß Figur 2 kann so vorgegangen werden, daß die Befestigungslasche 15 und die Sicherungslaschen 16 und 17 von den Seitenwänden abgerissen werden, so daß sich dann das Deckteil 13 entfernen läßt, wobei die Einstecklasche 14 aus dem Bereich zwischen vorderer Seitenwand 3 und verpacktem Gut herausgezogen wird. Das verpackte Gut ist dann durch die verhältnismäßig große, nach oben offene Aussparung 4 erkennbar und kann durch die Aussparung 4 schräg nach vorn und oben entnommen werden.To open a single box according to FIG. 2, the fastening tab 15 and the securing tabs 16 and 17 are torn off the side walls so that the cover part 13 can then be removed, the insertion tab 14 being removed from the area between the front side wall 3 and packed goods is pulled out. The packaged good is then recognizable by the relatively large, upwardly open recess 4 and can be removed obliquely to the front and up through the recess 4.

Soll innerhalb eines Stapels gleichartiger Kartons eine Display-Wirkung erreicht werden, so wird die Einstecklasche 14 mit Hilfe des Aufreißfadens oder -streifens 20 abgetrennt und nach außen durch die Aussparung 4 herausgebogen und dann nach oben aus dem Aufnahmeteil herausgezogen. In diesem Zustand ist das Deckelteil 13 weiterhin auf dem Karton befestigt, jedoch das verpackte Gut durch die Aussparung 4 hin­durch sichtbar. Im allgemeinen kann das verpackte Gut jedoch nicht entnommen werden, da jedes Teil den Raum von der Bodenwand 1 bis zum Deckelteil 13 ausfüllt, so daß die Höhe der Aussparung 4 nicht zur Entnahme ausreicht. Um das Entnehmen zu ermöglichen, muß das Deckelteil 13 durch Abreißen der Befestigungslasche 15 und der Sicherungslaschen 16 und 17 entfernt werden.If a display effect is to be achieved within a stack of similar cardboard boxes, the insertion flap 14 is separated with the aid of the tear-open thread or strip 20 and bent outwards through the recess 4 and then pulled upwards out of the receiving part. In this state, the cover part 13 is still attached to the box, but the packaged goods are visible through the recess 4. In general, however, the packaged goods cannot be removed, since each part fills the space from the bottom wall 1 to the cover part 13, so that the height of the recess 4 is not sufficient for removal. In order to enable removal, the cover part 13 must be removed by tearing off the fastening tab 15 and the securing tabs 16 and 17.
