• – zwei nicht an den Boden angrenzende erste Teile, die jeweils seitlich mit einer Wandung über eine zum Bodenteil rechtwinklige Faltlinie schwenkbar verbunden sind;
• – zwei nicht an den Boden angrenzende zweite Teile, die jeweils seitlich mit einem der ersten Teile über eine zum Bodenteil rechtwinklige Faltlinie schwenkbar verbunden sind,
• – zwei nicht an den Boden angrenzende Klappen, die jeweils seitlich mit einer anderen Wandung über eine zum Bodenteil rechtwinklige Faltlinie schwenkbar verbunden sind,
• – ein zum Bodenteil paralleles und einen Deckel bildendes Oberteil, das mit einer der Wandungen über eine zu dem Bodenteil parallele Faltlinie schwenkbar verbunden ist, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass einerseits die ersten und zweiten Teile und andererseits die Klappen bezüglich den Wandungen oder angrenzenden Teilen so umgefaltet sind, dass die Klappen in Kontakt mit den zweiten Teilen stehen und mit ihnen fest verbunden sind, und dass die Abmessungen der ersten und zweiten Teile und der Klappen so gewählt sind, dass ihre Grundlinien sich genau der Form des Bodens anpassen.

The present invention accordingly relates to a packaging container made of a semi-rigid material, such as cardboard or corrugated cardboard, for a plurality of bottles or similar articles arranged along a row or several parallel rows and resting on the bottom of the packaging, the packaging container comprising:

• A bottom part of hexagonal shape whose sides are mutually parallel in pairs;
• - Two mutually parallel walls which are pivotally connected via two fold lines along two parallel sides of the bottom part with this and erected at right angles to this bottom part;
• - Two not adjacent to the ground first parts, each of which is laterally pivotally connected to a wall via a folding line perpendicular to the bottom part;
• Two second parts not adjacent to the bottom, each of which is laterally pivotally connected to one of the first parts by means of a fold line perpendicular to the bottom part,
• Two flaps not adjacent to the floor, each of which is laterally pivotally connected to another wall via a fold line perpendicular to the bottom part,
• - A parallel to the bottom part and a lid forming upper part, which is pivotally connected to one of the walls via a parallel to the bottom fold line, characterized in that on the one hand the first and second parts and on the other hand, the flaps are folded over the walls or adjacent parts in that the flaps are in contact with and firmly connected to the second parts, and that the dimensions of the first and second parts and the flaps are chosen so that their baselines conform exactly to the shape of the ground.

Since the bottom part of simple folding lines with the two parallel walls of the packaging container related guarantees this during transport a much higher security than that of Packaging containers, their bottom part by gluing or latching with one or more Side part (s) is connected.

The packaging container is preferably starting from a single blank of cardboard or Corrugated cardboard received, cut or punched accordingly and shaped (prefolded) is; As shown below, the different, by pivotable with each other around the bottom right-angled fold lines parts connected to each other, the packaging in the composite Condition to fold flat or press and in this form to supply the user; this only needs the packaging by folding it up before putting the bottles or other items to be packaged in the container accommodates.

Preferably, in at least one the walls have an opening cut out, through which the packaged bottles are visible, and preferably on this wall is a flap with the base the opening over one connected to the bottom parallel fold line, said flap by a second fold line parallel to the previous fold line in two Parts is divided, which folded into the interior of the packaging container can be and to the plant against the lower part of the associated wall or against the Get ground. The fitting against the ground part has preferably perpendicular to the associated Wall a dimension equal to the distance separating this wall from the parallel wall separates so that the part reinforces the ground and a stiffening of the parallel walls after Informbringung of the packaging container guaranteed.

Preferably, one of the punched out one or more flaps on both parallel walls, the one with the wall over a fold line perpendicular to the ground are connected and into the interior of the packaging container perpendicular to the associated Wall can be folded over, such that they come to lie between adjacent bottles and thus form one or more separating element (s).

Further characteristics, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of an embodiment of the packaging. In this description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which however, no restrictive meaning; in the drawing show:

1 in plan view of a cut and punched or stamped blank of corrugated cardboard, from which the packaging is evident;

2 a perspective view of the package after shipment to the mold, according to one of its major surfaces, wherein the cover forming a lid is folded back;

3 in a perspective view of the package after shipment to the mold, according to a to the side surface of 2 parallel side surface, with the upper part closed;

4 in perspective view the packaging with two housed in this bottles; and

5 and 6 two views of the flat compressed packaging, from two sides.

This embodiment of the package according to the invention is for sale and transport of two bottles determined, however, the transmission on a different number of bottles or on other similar ones elongated Objects arranged in one or more parallel rows for the person skilled in the art is apparent. Of course, the shape of these objects can be absolutely arbitrary be.

This package has a hexagonal bottom part 1 with sides parallel to each other in pairs, symmetrical with respect to a diagonal fold line 10 is that connects two opposing vertices of the hexagon.

With this bottom part 1 are by fold lines, which with the plane of symmetry of the part 1 parallel sides coincide, two side walls 2 and 3 pivotally-hingedly connected, which are in the erected state perpendicular to the bottom part.

To the part 2 border laterally over a line perpendicular to the fold line two other side walls 4 in each case by a likewise perpendicular to the bottom fold line 11 in two equal parts 4a - 4b are divided.

To the part 3 border laterally over a folding line perpendicular to the ground two in shape and dimensions substantially with the parts 4a matching flaps 5 at, which with the inside of the packaging facing side surfaces of these parts 4a are glued.

To the top of the wall 2 borders on one to the ground 1 pa rallel folding line a lid forming part 6 whose shape and dimensions are analogous to those of the soil; to the top of the wall 3 borders a flap 7 on, about to engage over the part 6 is provided. One to the part 6 tongue over a fold line 8th can engage a slot 9 arrive, between the folding part 7 and the adjacent wall 3 is provided to the part 6 to lock the lid in the closed position.

You realize that the parts 4a . 4b and 5 not contiguous with the ground 1 are, however, that after the molding and assembly their base is exactly adapted to the shape of the soil. Because this is directly contiguous-adjacent to the two parallel walls 2 and 3 is, it offers a very high resistance to the weight of the packaged items, such as the bottles 12 , and for the stresses occurring during handling. The packaging container therefore has a very high level of operational safety.

As a result of the fold line 10 which divides the floor into two equal parts and the lines 11 , which also divide the side walls into two equal parts, it is possible to compress the previously assembled packaging container flat, as in the 5 and 6 presented in this form to the users, who then bring him easily in the form of use.

One in the wall 2 recessed window 3 allows buyers to see the packaged items.

On off punching or cutting out the window 13 in the wall 2 originating part 14 adjoins a folding line parallel to the ground 15 to the base of this window. The part 14 is in turn by one to the line 15 parallel fold line 16 in two parts 14a and 14b subdivided whose dimensions are chosen so that the part 14a inside the packaging container against the inside of the base of the wall 2 can be folded while the part 14b comes to rest against the ground, to reinforce it and as a reinforcement between the parallel walls 2 and 3 to lay.

In the wall 3 is an opening 17 cut out; on a vertical side of this opening is adjacent a stemming from the punching flap 18 which can be folded into the interior of the packaging container, to form a partition wall between adjacent, juxtaposed bottles. The packaging container shown is designed for the transport of two bottles, but needs for a larger number of bottles, of course, only at appropriate locations a corresponding number of openings 17 and flaps 18 to be provided.

In this embodiment, one forms in the upper part of the wall 3 recessed simple opening 20 in a conventional manner a handle organ.

The invention thus provides in the Packaging technology a packaging container of great simplicity, in the prefabricated, assembled and flattened state can be supplied to the user and the unmatched safety features for the Transport of packed items offers. This packaging container is the rest at low cost and offers one for consideration pleasing Sight.
