Abstract

The present invention relates to a packaging material receptacle for a packaging material web wound into a roll, in particular a wound web of recycled paper, comprising two opposing storage walls, each with a recess oriented transversely to a roll axis of the packaging material web roll for inserting and storing the packaging material web roll in the packaging material receptacle.

Description

The present invention relates to a packaging material receptacle, such as a packaging container or a packaging box, for receiving a web of packaging material wound into a roll, in particular a web of recycled paper or waste paper. The present invention also relates to a packaging material dispenser.

In the packaging material industry, for ecological reasons, paper, in particular recycled paper or paper made from waste paper, is used more and more frequently as a packaging material buffer. A suitable packaging material made of paper has proven to be to create a spiral-shaped web material by pulling the packaging material web roll off its inside, since it has been found that spiral-shaped packaging material has a particularly good buffering property despite its low specific weight and can be easily placed in spaces to be filled . Another possibility for providing packaging material made of paper is to pull off the packaging material roll over its outer circumference and then to crumple it up manually or with the aid of a machine and / or to insert it into gaps to be filled.

U.S. 4,274,573 discloses a wrapping material dispenser for a roll of paper wrapping material having a box-like structure in which the roll of wrapping material is to be accommodated. For dispensing the packaging material, a dispensing opening is formed in an end face of the box-like housing structure, via which the packaging material withdrawn from the inside of the roll can be spirally removed. Furthermore, an additional dispensing slot is made in one of the elongated peripheral walls of the box-like housing structure, over the packaging material, which over the Outer circumference of the packaging material web roll is pulled off, can be removed.

At the packaging material dispenser according to U.S. 4,274,573 has proven to be difficult to operate when pulling off the packaging material web over its outer circumference. Because the packaging material web roll is inserted into the box-like housing structure, a very high frictional resistance arises when the paper web roll is pulled off and unrolled as a result of the weight of the paper web roll between the paper web roll and the inner wall of the housing. Furthermore, it has been found to be disadvantageous that as the packaging material web roll is increasingly withdrawn, its outer circumference is reduced and thus the position of the packaging material web roll within the box-like housing structure changes. This prevents reliable removal via the dispensing slot.

One object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art, in particular to provide a packaging material receptacle and a packaging material dispenser in which the, in particular, manual removal of packaging material is simplified and improved.

This object is achieved by the features of the subjects of claims 1 and 11, respectively.

Thereafter, a packaging material receptacle is provided for a packaging material web wound into a roll, for example for a web made of recycled paper, such as waste paper and / or 100% recyclable paper, which can be produced without chemical ingredients, wound into a roll. The packaging material web, in particular the paper packaging material web, can be embossed, for example have a uniform embossing formed in the packaging material web longitudinal direction, which can extend transversely to the web longitudinal direction over a total width of the packaging material web. The embossing can be implemented, for example, by knobs that are evenly distributed in the longitudinal direction of the web and transversely thereto, which, viewed from one side, are expressed in the form of projections and, viewed from the other side, in the form of depressions. The embossing, in particular the knobs, can be introduced by deforming a flat raw material-packaging material web. A floor plan of such an embossing can, for example, be square, round or also triangular. The individual embossings can, for example, have a pyramid shape, cone shape or truncated cone shape and / or have a depth which corresponds at least to the thickness or wall thickness of the packaging material web, in particular at least 1.5 times, 2 times, 2.5 times or 3 times. fold.

The packaging material receptacle can be a packaging material container or a packaging material box. The packaging material receptacle is designed to receive the wound packaging material web roll and to surround it completely. This means that the packaging material receptacle can comprise a circumferential wall which is provided with a wall section which can be folded or unfolded for inserting and removing the packaging material web roll in order to release or close an interior space of the packaging material receptacle bounded by the wall. The packaging material roll is to be accommodated in the interior of the packaging material receptacle. In an exemplary embodiment, the packaging material receptacle is preferably made exclusively from paper, cardboard or corrugated cardboard and / or has a cuboid or cube shape. For example, the packaging material receptacle has the following dimensions: a height in the range from 10 mm to 100 mm, a width in the range from 10 mm to 100 mm and a depth in the range from 10 mm to 100 mm. In an exemplary embodiment, the packaging material receptacle has a cuboid shape with dimensions of 300 mm x 400 mm x 300 mm (height x width x depth). The weight of the packaging material receptacle including the inserted packaging material web roll, i.e. the total weight of a packaging material dispenser according to the invention, can be between 3 kg and 4 kg, running meters of the packaging material web roll in the range of 50 m to 60 m being provided. The packaging material paper can, for example, have a ^{quality specified in the unit g / m 2} in the range from 100 g / m ² to 150 g / m ² , preferably about 125 / m ² .

The packaging material receptacle comprises two opposing storage walls. The storage walls can be part of the circumferential, closed wall. According to one aspect of the present invention, the storage walls each have a recess oriented transversely to a roll axis of the packaging material web roll for inserting the material web roll into the packaging material web receptacle and for storing the Packaging material web roll within the packaging material receptacle. In the following description, exemplary specific designs of cutouts are given with reference to a cutout, it being understood that both cutouts can be designed accordingly. The axis around which the packaging material web is wound to form the roll and around which the packaging material web roll can rotate when packaging material is pulled off or unwound from the packaging material web roll can be referred to as the roll axis. The roll axis can be oriented essentially transversely, preferably perpendicularly, to the longitudinal direction of the packaging material web. For example, the roll axis forms a central axis of the, in particular, hollow-cylindrical wound packaging material web roll. The recess enables a predetermined and targeted assembly of the packaging material web roll in the packaging material receptacle. For example, the recess ensures that the packaging material web roll does not rest with its circumference on a base of the packaging material receptacle, so that the removal from the packaging material web roll is simplified and improved, in particular since there is no frictional force between the packaging material web roll outside and the packaging material receptacle base.

In an exemplary embodiment of the packaging material receptacle according to the invention, the recess, in particular both recesses, has an insertion opening oriented in the direction of insertion of the packaging material web roll, via which a shaft, in particular made of hard paper, on which the packaging material web is wound, can enter the recess. In other words, the recess can be designed to be open on one side in the direction of insertion, in order to enable the insertion of the packaging material web shaft. The shaft is, for example, a hollow cylindrical, thin-walled cylindrical roller that can be made of hard paper, plastic, or similar materials that have suitable rigidity and strength. The web-shaped packaging material can be wound onto the shaft to form the packaging material web roll, so that the packaging material web roll is supported or carried by the shaft by the central shaft. The recesses with the respective insertion openings can accordingly define an assembly position and assembly direction of the packaging material web roll Predefine including the shaft, for example to prevent incorrect assembly or to make assembly easier for inexperienced operating personnel.

According to a further exemplary embodiment of the packaging material receptacle according to the invention, the recess has an insertion opening oriented in the direction of insertion of the packaging material web roll, from which the recess extends preferably in a straight line to a recess edge opposite the insertion opening. A dimension of the recess can be constant along its length. The recess edge can be set up to secure and / or hold the packaging material web roll, in particular its central shaft. For example, it can be provided that the packaging material web roll or the shaft can be inserted into the packaging material receptacle until the shaft rests on the respective cutout edge of the cutouts. Accordingly, the recess edge can limit a movement of the packaging material web roll relative to the packaging material receptacle. According to an exemplary development, the packaging material web roll including the shaft is accommodated in the packaging material receptacle and the shaft is mounted in the recess, in particular on the recess edge, that the packaging material web roll is carried completely through the recesses or the recess edge, in particular such that the packaging material web roll is relative to Packaging material receptacle and shaft can rotate, for example in order to pull off web-shaped packaging material from the packaging material web roll and to remove it from the packaging material receptacle. When the packaging material web including the shaft has been installed in the packaging material receptacle, the packaging material web roll can be rotatably mounted in the packaging material receptacle in such a way that when the packaging material web roll is withdrawn or unwound over its outer circumference, the shaft is fixed relative to the packaging material receptacle, in particular to the recess, and an innermost packaging material web winding which is closest to the shaft and this revolves, performs a relative rotation with respect to the shaft. For example, the web-shaped packaging material is wound onto the shaft in such a way that an inner diameter of the innermost packaging material web winding is dimensioned to be significantly larger, in particular by 10 % larger, 20% or 30% larger than an outer diameter of the shaft. As a result, the packaging material web can be unwound or pulled off particularly easily, in particular with little friction.

In an exemplary development of the present invention, the recess edge of the respective recess is concavely curved, in particular formed in a semicircular manner. Furthermore, the recess edge can be shaped complementary to the packaging material web wave. As a result, the shaft is held and supported in the recess in a secure manner and / or a relative movement of the shaft with respect to the recess is prevented transversely to the direction of insertion. During the unwinding or unwinding of web-shaped packaging material from the packaging material web roll, the shaft thus essentially maintains its position, in particular there is no wobbling or shaking of the shaft within the recess.

In a further exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the recess has an insertion opening which is oriented in the insertion direction of the packaging material web roll and which is provided on an edge of the respective storage wall. This is, for example, a storage wall edge pointing vertically upwards. According to an exemplary development, the mounting wall edge is open, in particular recessed, to form the insertion opening. This increases the effect of the simplified assembly of the packaging material web roll in the packaging material web receptacle.

According to an exemplary development of the packaging material receptacle according to the invention, the recess edge is arranged at a distance from a mounting wall edge opposite the insertion opening, in particular the mounting wall edge opposite the insertion opening having the mounting wall edge. For example, the distance is in the range from 50 mm to 200 mm, in particular in the range from 75 mm to 150 mm, in particular between 100 mm and 110 mm. This can ensure that an outer circumference of the packaging material web roll does not come into contact with the packaging material receiving base, as a result of which the frictional force when unwinding the packaging material web can be reduced.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the storage walls delimit a packaging material receiving space. The recesses can each be provided on an inside of the storage wall facing the packaging material receiving space, in particular can be introduced into the respective storage wall in such a way that the storage walls are closed towards the outside. For example, the recess can be made in the storage wall in such a way that a recess base is formed by the storage wall, on which the packaging material web roll, in particular the shaft, in particular its shaft end faces, can slide along during the insertion of the packaging material web roll into the packaging material receptacle. For example, a length dimension of the shaft is coordinated with respect to a clear opening width between the two recesses, in particular coordinated in such a way that the shaft end faces are in sliding contact with both recess base surfaces when inserted.

According to a further exemplary embodiment of the packaging material receptacle according to the invention, the recess forms a link-like guide for the packaging material web roll, in particular its shaft. Furthermore, the recess can have two opposite longitudinal edges, in particular each opening into the respective recess edge. The longitudinal edges can be oriented or extend essentially completely parallel to one another. Furthermore, the longitudinal edges can be designed in such a way that the packaging material web roll, in particular the shaft, can slide along the longitudinal edges up to the recess edge. For example, the shaft protrudes axially over the width of the packaging material web roll in the longitudinal direction of the shaft, which lies parallel to the roll axis around which the packaging material web roll rotates when the packaging material is pulled off or unwound, the protruding sections or lateral ends of the shaft being understood as bearing journals, which when inserting the packaging material web roll and the shaft come into a guide engagement with the respective recesses. The shaft and the bearing journals can be dimensioned in such a way that the shaft and the bearing journals engage at both lateral ends in both recesses in the bearing walls and in them when they are inserted of the packaging material web roll is / are translationally guided along the longitudinal edges.

According to an exemplary development, the recess is produced by recessing a material web to be used as a securing wedge for fixing the packaging material web roll within the packaging material receptacle from the storage wall. In other words, the recess can be made in one piece with the packaging material receptacle, namely by recessing the respective storage wall. The cut-out material web can then be reused as a securing wedge in order to fix the inserted packaging material web roll, in particular the shaft, in the cut-out. Furthermore, the packaging material receptacle can have a securing wedge, which is preferably adapted to the shape of the recess, for fixing the packaging material web roll and which can be produced separately from the packaging material receptacle, for example from paper, cardboard, corrugated cardboard or plastic. The securing wedge can be dimensioned in such a way that it can be inserted into the recess. According to an exemplary development, the securing wedge is pushed into the recess after the roll of packaging material web has been inserted and placed on the shaft of the roll of packaging material web. Furthermore, the securing wedge can have an end that is shaped complementarily to the shaft and faces it. The securing wedge can essentially have an elongated, thin-walled shape, wherein the end facing the shaft can be concavely curved, in particular partially circular, in order to adapt to the essentially cylindrical outer dimensions of the shaft and to at least partially encompass it.

In a further exemplary embodiment of the packaging material receptacle according to the invention, the packaging material receptacle has an opening wall which, for example, can be part of the peripheral wall delimiting the packaging material receiving space and which connects the storage walls to one another. The opening wall is provided with a dispensing slot or at least one measure in preparation for the dispensing slot for forming a predetermined dispensing slot through which a web-shaped packaging material can be removed. The preparatory measure should serve to clearly define the predetermined dispensing slot so that a The operator without any further operator experience immediately recognizes how the dispensing slot is to be generated by means of the prepared measure. In the presence of the preparatory measure for forming the predetermined dispensing slot, the packaging material receptacle is essentially completely surrounded by corresponding walls and thereby protected from external influences. The preparatory measure for the formation of the dispensing slot can be formed, for example, by a material weakening, such as a perforation, to form a desired tear and / or break line which at least partially, preferably completely, surrounds the predetermined dispensing slot. Correspondingly, the opening wall section for producing the dispensing slot can be separated away from the opening wall, in particular removed therefrom, along the intended tear or break line. In this way it is possible, in a simple and quick manner, to produce the dispensing slot only at the place of use of the packaging material receptacle. Furthermore, an operator can immediately see which state of use the packaging material web roll stored within the packaging material receptacle has and / or at which point web-shaped packaging material can be removed. According to an exemplary development, the dispensing slot is oriented essentially parallel to the roll axis and / or can have a width measured transversely to the longitudinal direction of the web, which is essentially adapted to a width of the packaging material web roll. At a longitudinal edge of the dispensing slot, a curved, preferably part-circular, in particular semicircular, engagement opening widening the dispensing slot can be realized in order to make it easier for the operator to reach into the interior of the packaging material receptacle with his hand, for example to slide back an end of the to seize awakened packaging material web. Furthermore, the dispensing slit can have a tear opening on a short side, which, in the event that the dispensing slit is implemented by means of the preparatory measure, enables an operator to easily reach behind the opening wall section to be removed, for example by means of a finger, in order to move it along the target - To be able to cut off the break or tear line.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, which can be combined with the preceding aspects and exemplary embodiments, is a Packaging material dispenser provided. The packaging material dispenser comprises a packaging material receptacle, in particular according to the invention, which is designed, for example, according to one of the aspects or exemplary embodiments described above.

Furthermore, the packaging material dispenser according to the invention comprises a packaging material web that is wound into a roll, in particular a wound web of recycled paper, in particular waste paper and / or 100% recyclable paper, which can be produced without chemical ingredients. The packaging material web, in particular the paper packaging material web, can be embossed, for example have a uniform embossing formed in the packaging material web longitudinal direction, which can extend transversely to the web longitudinal direction over a total width of the packaging material web. The embossing can be implemented, for example, by knobs that are evenly distributed in the longitudinal direction of the web and transversely thereto, which, viewed from one side, are expressed in the form of projections and, viewed from the other side, in the form of depressions. A floor plan of such an embossing can, for example, be square, round or also triangular. The individual embossments can, for example, have a pyramid shape, a cone shape or a truncated cone shape.

According to the further aspect of the present invention, the packaging material web is wound onto a shaft, in particular made of hard paper or another suitable material which has sufficient rigidity or strength. Furthermore, the packaging material receptacle has a bearing for inserting the shaft into the packaging material receptacle and for supporting the shaft within the packaging material receptacle. By providing storage and winding the packaging material web roll onto a shaft, on the one hand assembly can be simplified and, on the other hand, the unwinding or unwinding of packaging material from the roll can be improved.

According to an exemplary development of the packaging material dispenser according to the invention, the storage has a guide part, which in such a way Insertion or removal of the packaging material web roll is in sliding engagement with the shaft so that the shaft can be displaced in particular in a straight line relative to the guide part. The sliding guidance of the shaft within the bearing provides the operator with a predefined assembly direction and position and, on the other hand, provides haptic feedback when the packaging material web roll is inserted into the packaging material receptacle, so that the assembly process is facilitated.

In a further exemplary embodiment of the packaging material dispenser according to the invention, the sliding engagement is implemented by means of a linear guide, in particular a link guide. It can be provided that a displacement direction is oriented essentially vertically, so that the packaging material web roll can be inserted, in particular dropped, and guided by the linear guide in the gravitational direction along the linear guide. For example, a link-like guide is provided in the packaging material receptacle and / or formed by the storage. Furthermore, a sliding block to be guided in the gate, preferably arranged on the shaft, can be provided, which slides along the gate when the shaft including the packaging material web roll is inserted into the packaging material receptacle. For example, the backdrop is formed by the recess mentioned above. Furthermore, it can be provided that the sliding block is formed by the shaft itself, in particular its lateral, end-side bearing journals.

According to an exemplary development of the packaging material dispenser according to the invention, the guide part has a recess which extends transversely to the roll axis of the packaging material web roll and which is matched to the wave shape, in particular is shaped complementary to the wave. When the packaging material web roll is inserted, there is accordingly a sliding engagement between the shaft and the recess. According to a further exemplary development, the guide part and the shaft are matched to one another in shape in such a way that the shaft is prevented from shifting transversely to the direction of insertion.

In a further embodiment of the packaging material dispenser according to the invention, the guide part has a recess extending transversely to a roll axis of the packaging material web roll, which is formed by the recess a material web to be used as a securing wedge for fixing the packaging material web roll is made from the storage wall. The securing wedge can be inserted into the recess, in particular is inserted into the recess, and placed on the shaft, in particular it rests on the shaft in order to secure the assembled packaging material web roll including shaft within the packaging material receptacle with respect to the direction of insertion. The securing wedge can be shaped in such a way that it at least partially engages around the shaft, in particular one end of the securing wedge facing the shaft being curved, in particular partially circular, and / or shaped complementarily to the shaft. The securing wedge can be produced by recessing a material web from the mounting wall. In other words, the securing wedge can be made in one piece with the packaging material receptacle, namely by recessing the respective storage wall. The cut-out material web can then be reused as a securing wedge in order to fix the inserted packaging material web roll, in particular the shaft, in the cut-out. Furthermore, the securing wedge can be made from paper, cardboard or corrugated cardboard and / or dimensioned in such a way that it can be inserted into the recess. The securing wedge can essentially have an elongated, thin-walled shape.

In the following description of exemplary embodiments of packaging material dispensers according to the invention and packaging material receptacles according to the invention, a packaging material dispenser according to the invention is generally provided with the reference number 1 and a packaging material receptacle according to the invention is generally provided with the reference number 3. The packaging material receptacle 3 has, for example, essentially a cuboid shape or a cube shape and is made of cardboard Other materials, such as plastic, can also be used to form the packaging material receptacle.

The packaging material receptacle 3 has to limit its interior space 5 ( Fig. 2 ) a circumferential wall which comprises four essentially equally dimensioned side walls 7-13, one of the side walls forming a base 7 and two opposing side walls each having an end wall 14, 15. Opposite the base is a side wall forming a top wall 9 which, as it is for example in Fig. 2 can be seen, can be opened or unfolded in order to open the interior space 5 of the packaging material receptacle, for example in order to insert or remove a packaging material web wound into a roll. On one of the side walls, namely the side wall 11, which is referred to as the opening wall, is, as shown in FIG Fig. 1 can be seen, a dispensing slot 17 is provided, which can be a longitudinal slot, for example, but can also have other shapes, via which packaging material can be pulled off and removed from the packaging material web roll (not shown) received in the packaging material receptacle 3 and wound into a roll.

The dispensing slot 17 can, for example, initially be implemented in the form of a measure that prepares the dispensing slot for forming the specific dispensing slot 17, for example by weakening the material, such as a perforation to form a predetermined tear or break line. The packaging material in web form drawn off or unwound via the delivery slot 17 is indicated schematically by means of the reference number 18. An operator can, by means of the packaging dispenser 1, remove web-shaped packaging material 18 via the dispensing slot 17 if necessary. To simplify cutting to length or tearing off the packaging material 19, the dispensing slot 17 can have a tear-off edge (not shown), for example in the form of a groove or in the form of spikes that are incorporated into the cardboard material of the packaging material receptacle 3, or by an additional tear-off component, for example made of metal or hard plastic.

Referring to the Figures 2 to 4 the internal structure of an exemplary embodiment of the packaging material receptacle 3 according to the invention is described in more detail, the cover side wall 9 being folded away to make the interior 5 of the packaging material receptacle 3 visible. The end walls 14, 15 of the packaging material receptacle 3 each form a storage wall, each of which has a longitudinally extending recess 19, 21, which serve to ensure that a packaging material web roll is inserted into the packaging material receptacle 3 and to store the inserted packaging material web roll within the packaging material receptacle 5. An insertion direction into the plane of the drawing is to be understood, which is indicated schematically by the reference symbol R and to which the recess 19, 21 runs essentially parallel. The Recesses 19, 21 are arranged essentially centrally in relation to a depth which is oriented transversely to the direction of insertion R, of the packaging material receptacle 3 or the corresponding storage wall 14, 15.

According to an exemplary embodiment, it is provided that the web-shaped packaging material is wound onto a shaft 23, in particular made of hard paper, to form the packaging material web roll. The shaft 23 is for example in the Fig. 3 and 4th pictured and in Figure 1 indicated by a dashed line. The shaft 23 can serve to support the roll of packaging material web and also to enable the packaging material wound around the circumference of the shaft to be unwound easily and with little friction and removed from the packaging material dispenser 1. With regard to the packaging material receptacle 3 or the packaging material dispenser 1, the winding of the packaging material web roll onto the hard paper shaft 23, which, however, can also be made of plastic or other suitable materials with sufficient rigidity, enables the shaft 23, which runs in the longitudinal direction of the shaft, to be parallel to a roll axis of the packaging material web roll, around which the packaging material web roll rotates when the packaging material is withdrawn or unwound, protrudes axially over the width of the packaging material web roll and in this respect forms bearing pins 25, 27 at the lateral ends, which engage in a guide when the packaging material web roll and the shaft 23 are inserted get with the respective recesses 19, 21. In other words, the shaft 23 is dimensioned so that it engages with its bearing pins 25, 27 at both lateral ends in both recesses 19, 21 of the bearing walls 14, 15 and is guided therein when the packaging material web roll is inserted.

The recesses 19, 21 each have an outwardly open insertion opening 29, 31 which is oriented in the direction of insertion R of the packaging material web roll and through which the shaft 23 can pass into the recess 19, 21. From the insertion opening 29, 31, the recess extends essentially in a straight line and in the direction of insertion R towards the bottom 7. The shaft 23 has two opposite longitudinal edges 33, 35 and 37, 39 opening into the insertion opening 29, 31. The respective longitudinal edges 33, 35, or 37, 39 open into a common recess edge 41 and 43 for securing and / or holding the Packaging material web roll or the shaft 23. This means that the packaging material web roll can be inserted into the packaging material receptacle 3 until the shaft 23 rests on the recess edge 41 or 43. For example, the recess edge 41, 43 has a semicircular shape and / or is designed to be complementary in shape to the shaft 23 of the packaging material web roll.

In the Figs. 2-4 it can be seen that the recess 19, 21 directly adjoins a preferably upper bearing wall edge 45, 47 which is recessed to form the insertion opening 29, 31, ie is open to the outside. It can also be seen that the recess 19, 21 does not extend completely to the bottom 7, but ends prematurely and thus at a certain distance in a range from 50 mm to preferably 200 mm, in particular in the range from 75 mm to 150 mm mm, to the bottom 7 is arranged. The recess 29, 31 is also provided on an inner side 49, 51 of the respective mounting wall 14, 15 so that the mounting walls 14, 15 are formed closed to the outside, ie in the direction of the shaft or roller axis and / or transversely to the insertion direction R. This results in a respective recess base 53, 55, along which the respective shaft end faces can slide during the insertion of the packaging material web roll into the packaging material receptacle 3. For example, the shaft end faces contact both recess bases 53, 55, whereby the shaft 23 is guided particularly well in the recesses 19, 21 and the shaft 23 is fixed transversely to the insertion direction R in the direction of the roller or shaft axis.

An advantage that makes the packaging material receptacle 3 according to the invention or the packaging material dispenser 1 according to the invention very simple in construction and thus also inexpensive to manufacture is the possibility of using the recess 29, 31 by leaving out a securing wedge 57, 59 for fixing the packaging material web roll Produce web of material from the storage wall 14, 15. The securing wedges 57, 59 can accordingly be made of paper, cardboard or corrugated cardboard, for example.
