Description

The invention relates to a carton for wine bottles.

Traditionally, wine bottles are packed in simple cuboid cartons made of corrugated cardboard. These have four side walls, a bottom wall and a top wall, which includes two dust flaps and two cover flaps, which are folded over the dust flaps and glued or clamped by means of an adhesive tape. The bottom wall is designed accordingly. The known cartons are sized to hold six wine bottles. The interior is subdivided by strips of corrugated cardboard into compartments, each holding a wine bottle, so that glass contact between the bottles is avoided.

The known cartons are handling unfriendly. This is especially true for the transport of cartons, as they have to be included.

From the DE 20 2008 009 621 U1 is known a carton for wine bottles, which has bottom, top and side walls that define an interior space. In the interior, a perpendicular to the bottom and top wall aligned partition wall is arranged, which has a handle opening in the vicinity of the top wall. In the top wall, at least one engagement means is provided in addition to the center wall, through which the handle opening in the center wall is accessible from the outside. The engagement means are channel-like depressions in the top wall which extend on both sides of the middle wall. The folding box is particularly easy to handle because it only has to be gripped at the handle opening for transport. The laborious embrace of the entire packaging with both hands is eliminated. In addition, through the middle wall avoided glass contact between the bottles. The arrangement of the handle opening in the middle wall, the carton can retain the conventional cuboid outline, so that it is stackable in a known manner. In addition, by the arrangement of the handle opening in the partition, the transport weight is conveniently transferred to the bottom, top and side walls, so that the carton can be made to save material.

A disadvantage of the previously known folding box that the channel-like depression in the top wall requires increased use of material. The carton blank has top panel sections which protrude particularly far from the side walls to form the channel.

Based on this, the object of the invention is to provide a handling-friendly folding box for wine bottles which can be produced with reduced use of material. Furthermore, a blank for the production of such a carton is to be made available.

The object is achieved by a folding box with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the carton are given in the dependent claims.

• Boden-, Deck- und Seitenwände, die einen Innenraum begrenzen,
• eine im Innenraum angeordnete, senkrecht zur Bodenwand und Deckwand ausgerichtete Mittelwand, die eine Grifföffnung in der Nähe der Deckwand aufweist und
• mindestens eine in der Deckwand neben der Mittelwand angeordnete Stanzung, die eine Eingriffsöffnung begrenzt, durch die Grifföffnung in der Mittelwand von außen zugänglich ist.

The carton according to the invention for wine bottles has

• Floor, deck and side walls delimiting an interior,
• a arranged in the interior, aligned perpendicular to the bottom wall and top wall middle wall having a handle opening in the vicinity of the top wall and
• at least one in the top wall adjacent to the middle wall arranged punching, which limits an engagement opening, is accessible from the outside through the handle opening in the middle wall.

The carton according to the invention is particularly easy to handle because it only has to be gripped for transport at the handle opening. The laborious embrace of the entire packaging with both hands is eliminated. In addition, the middle wall prevents glass contact between the bottles. The arrangement of the handle opening in the middle wall, the carton can retain the conventional cuboid outline, so that it is stackable in a known manner. In addition, by the arrangement in the partition, the transport weight is conveniently transferred to the bottom, top and side walls, so that the carton can be made to save material. In that regard, the advantageous effects of the carton according to the invention agree with those of the carton with the channel-like depressions in the top wall on both sides of the center wall from the above-mentioned prior art. A further saving of material is achieved in the carton according to the invention characterized in that the top wall is provided instead of channel-like depressions with a punch, which limits an engagement opening for gripping the handle opening in the center wall. As a result, the material for forming the channel-like recesses is eliminated. In addition, during manufacture and handling of the carton, it is advantageous that the folds of the material required to form the channel-like depressions are not required. Rather, the top wall can be closed in a simple manner, yet ensures the engagement opening limiting punching that gripping the handle opening in the middle wall is possible.

According to a preferred embodiment, the carton has four side walls.

The engagement opening may be formed by a punched-out, so that an unobstructed engagement in the engagement opening is possible. To prevent the ingress of dirt into the carton according to a preferred embodiment in the engagement opening at least one hinged at one edge of the engagement opening to the top wall and / or arranged connected by a tear line with the top wall cover flap. For gripping the handle opening in the middle wall, the cover flap can be easily swung out of the engagement opening and / or separated from the top wall. To form the cover flap, the engagement opening may be delimited by an interrupted punching, wherein one or more interruptions of the punching line form an articulation of the cover flap on the cover wall and / or a separable connection of the cover flap with the cover wall.

According to a further embodiment, the at least one cover flap is articulated parallel to the middle wall to the top wall. This orientation favors a folding of the cover flap in the interior of the carton without obstruction by arranged parallel to the middle wall wine bottles.

According to a further embodiment, cover flaps are hinged to two opposite edges of the engagement opening. The two cover flaps can be folded on different sides of the middle wall into the interior of the folding box.

According to a preferred embodiment, the distance of the hinges of the cover flaps from the center wall corresponds approximately to the difference between the maximum radius of a wine bottle and the radius of the bottle neck of the wine bottle. This is ensures that the cover flaps do not strike the bottlenecks of the wine bottles in a manner that hinders engagement in the engagement opening. The above dimensioning rule can be based on a standard wine bottle with a capacity of 0.75 l, for example, the so-called "Bordeaux bottle".

According to a further embodiment, the engagement opening in the transverse direction to the center wall on both sides of the middle wall in each case has a width of 20 to 45 mm and / or in the longitudinal direction of the center wall a width of at least 80 mm. With the aforementioned dimensions, a comfortable engagement is ensured with one hand. Furthermore, with the said dimensions, an engagement-hindering application of cover flaps is avoided at bottlenecks.

According to a preferred embodiment, the engagement opening in the transverse direction to the center wall on both sides of the middle wall in each case a width of 30 to 40 mm and / or in the longitudinal direction of the center wall has a width of 100 to 140 mm.

According to a further embodiment, a gap between the two cover flaps is present, which gives the user an indication of the possibility of intervention and facilitates engagement in the engagement opening.

According to a further embodiment, the top wall has a top wall section, which is hinged on the outside to a side wall, bridges the distance region to the opposite side wall, comprises the engagement opening and hinged to the edge remote from its hinging an insertion tab, the angled plugged into the interior of the carton is. The thus designed top wall is easy to prepare and very easy to handle. According to a further embodiment, the top wall has another Top wall section, which is hinged to the side wall, which is opposite to the side wall to which the top wall portion is articulated, wherein the further top wall portion has at the articulation to the side wall a Einsteckschlitz for inserting the Einstecklasche. The cover wall section additionally prevents impurities from entering the packaging. He also supports the top wall at the top of the side walls and helps ensure that the top wall does not open unintentionally. For this purpose, according to a further embodiment in the region of the side wall, to which the further top wall section is articulated, and the further top wall section a locking tab can be punched, which can be inserted into a locking slot on the articulation of the tuck on the top wall portion. For this purpose, the locking tab preferably has a hinged tab end.

According to a further embodiment, the top wall comprises dust flaps, which are articulated on side walls, which are aligned transversely to the side walls, to which the top wall portion and the further top wall portion are articulated. The dust flaps additionally prevent the ingress of dirt through gaps between the top wall and the side walls.

The invention relates to embodiments in which no special precautions are taken for the removal of bottles, so that the folding box is torn or cut open at a suitable location for opening.

According to a further embodiment, the side walls have a weakening line which runs along the closed wall along a closed curve. This weakening line allows the removal of the entire top wall, so that the upper areas of the bottles inserted into the carton are completely exposed. Unlike the carton with the channel-like depressions In the top wall of the above-mentioned prior art, opening the weakening line not only opens a central area of the side walls and the top wall, which impedes the removal of bottles and the replacement of emptied bottles. The opened carton can be carried with the contained bottles like a basket. The weakening line is preferably a perforation line.

The line of weakness may run around the top wall directly adjacent the top wall in the side walls in a closed curve. According to one embodiment, the lines of weakness in the side walls which abut the ends of the center wall each have a vertex in the plane of the center wall, dropping on either side of the plane of the center wall to the adjacent side walls and having in the adjacent side walls sections which Sections of the weakening line in the side walls, which meet at the ends of the middle wall, connect together. In this embodiment, the side walls which abut the ends of the center wall, weakened only slightly by the rupture of the line of weakness. In particular, the decisive for the strength of the opened carton connection of the middle wall with the side walls that meet the ends of the center wall is not affected by the opening of the line of weakness. The opened carrier can thus be transported filled, without the carton ruptures.

Preferably, the vertices fall into the upper edges of the sidewalls that abut the center wall. In this embodiment, the center wall is connected at the end over its entire height with the adjacent side walls, so that the stability of the opened wine packaging is particularly large.

According to a further embodiment, the weakening line in the different side walls has a curved course. In this embodiment, the carton has an attractive appearance even in the open state. In addition, the curved course of the weakening line can prevent unintentional tearing of the folding box transverse to the line of weakness when opening, which can occur, in particular, in the case of an angular course.

According to one embodiment, transverse webs punched out of the center wall are folded out of the center wall and, together with the side walls, delimit the compartments for receiving wine bottles. This avoids glass contact between adjacent wine bottles on the same side of the center wall. The invention includes embodiments in which the center wall and possibly the transverse webs are used as a separate part or separate parts in the interior. According to one embodiment, which allows a one-piece design of the center wall, if necessary, with transverse webs and the other parts of the folding box, the middle wall is articulated on a side edge to a side wall portion of a side wall having two interconnected side wall portions. The middle wall is then a continuation of the side wall portion with which it is connected.

According to a further embodiment, the middle wall is connected to at least one lateral edge via a connecting plate with a side wall. This may be a center wall, which is articulated on the other lateral edge to a side wall portion. This may also be a center wall, which is connected at both lateral wheels via connecting straps with side walls. The lateral connection of the center wall with the side walls is advantageous for the transmission of the carrying weight into the side walls. About this, the carrying weight can be introduced via the upper edge of the middle wall in the top wall of the carton.

The invention includes embodiments in which the transverse webs are not connected at their outer lateral wheels with side walls. According to a preferred embodiment, transverse webs are connected at their outer lateral wheels via further connecting straps with side walls. As a result, on the one hand, the carrying weight can be transferred to further side walls. In addition, this embodiment allows an automatic unfolding of the transverse webs when the carton is erected from a flat state. For this it is advantageous that the middle wall is also connected at its lateral wheels with side walls. Are transverse webs which protrude outwardly from different sides of the middle wall, rigidly connected to each other, it is also sufficient if only one of the two interconnected transverse webs is connected to a side wall.

The invention includes embodiments in which the middle wall in the region of the handle opening has only a single layer of material. According to one embodiment, the middle wall has at least one reinforcing layer which at least partially delimits the handle opening. Preferably, the reinforcing layer limits the upper edge of the handle opening. Further preferably, the reinforcing layer surrounds the entire handle opening. The reinforcing layer may moreover be delimited on the region of the middle wall arranged next to the handle opening. It protects the center wall from tearing at the handle opening and improves wearing comfort, as the user can reach under several layers of material.

The reinforcing layer may be formed by an additional material originally separated from and connected to the center wall. For example, this may be an applied near the handle opening Tape or tape act. According to a preferred embodiment, the reinforcing layer on a hinged at the top of the center wall and folded against this reinforcing tab. The reinforcing layer may also include a plurality of folded portions of the reinforcing tab.

According to a preferred embodiment, the reinforcing layer has a further handle opening congruent to the handle opening.

According to a preferred embodiment, at least one handle opening and / or further handle opening has hinged at the top of a discharge flap. When engaging in the handle opening, the relief flap is bent to the side or upwards away. As a result, the upper edge of the handle opening is widened and avoided an uncomfortable pressing the opening edge on the hand.

The bottom wall may be formed in various ways. For example, this may be a single flap, which is hinged to the lower edge of a side wall and at least one connecting tab on the outer edge opposite the articulation and possibly further connecting tabs on other outer edges with the lower edge region of the side wall opposite the articulation and possibly lower edge regions of further side walls is connected. According to a preferred embodiment, the side walls at the lower edges hinged bottom wall sections, which folded over one another and connected together form the bottom wall. As a result, a particularly stable and dense bottom wall is made possible.

According to a further embodiment, the connections of the folding box are adhesive bonds and / or plug connections and / or staple connections (for example by means of staples).

According to a further embodiment, the folding box is made of a one-piece blank foldable flat material. According to another embodiment, the bottom and top walls and the side walls are made of a one-piece blank foldable flat material and the middle wall made of a further one-piece blank foldable flat material.

The carton may be wholly or partly made of corrugated cardboard. Preferably, the entire carton is wholly or partly made of cardboard. The construction allows the use of cardboard with a relatively low basis weight. In particular, it may consist entirely or partially of kraft cardboard. But it is also possible to produce the carton completely or partially made of recycled cardboard. Especially for the middle wall, the use of recycled cardboard comes into consideration.

According to a further embodiment, the carton has six compartments. Thus, the capacity of the carton corresponds to the capacity of conventional cartons for wine bottles. Preferably, the carton is made in the same outer dimensions as a conventional carton for wine bottles.

The side walls 2 to 5, the top wall section 6.1 and 6.2 and the bottom wall sections 9.1 to 9.4 are each substantially rectangular.

The dust flaps 7, 8 are substantially rectangular.

At a lateral edge of the side wall portion 2.1 a middle wall 10 is hinged, which has hinged at the opposite side edge of their articulation a connecting plate 11. At the upper edge of the middle wall 10, a reinforcing tab 12 is articulated.

In the vicinity of the upper edge of the middle wall 10, an approximately rectangular handle opening 13 is punched therein. At the same distance from the linkage in the reinforcing tab 12 is also a roughly rectangular, further handle opening 14 punched out. At the edge disposed on the upper edge of the middle wall 10, the handle opening 13 has a gripping surface 15 and the handle opening 14 hinges a further gripping lug 16.

Further, in the middle wall 10 parallel to its articulation on the side wall portion 2.1 two pairs of mutually aligned and spaced pivoting lines 17, 18 are provided, wherein the one pair of pivoting lines 17.1, 17.2 and the other pair of pivoting lines is designated 18.1, 18.2. The pivot lines 17.1 to 18.2 are each formed as interrupted punched lines, ie as a sequence of spaced, short punches.

The inner ends of the pairs of punched lines 17.1, 17.2 and 18.1, 18.2 are each connected to each other by a first transverse web 19.1, 19.2 limiting punching. The upper and lower edges of the first transverse webs 19.1, 19.2 are parallel to the upper and lower edges of the middle wall 10. The adjacent lateral edges of the first transverse webs 19.1, 19.2 engage each other to maximize the extent of the transverse webs 19.1, 19.2 in the direction of the center wall 10 to reach.

The outer ends of the pairs of pivoting lines 17.1, 17.2 and 18.1, 18.2 are each connected to each other by further punched, limit the second transverse webs 20.1, 20.2. The second transverse webs 20.1, 20.2 have each outside a further connecting link 21.1, 21.2 articulated. The further connection tab 21.1 extends into the connection tab 11 and the further connection tab 21.2 extends into the side wall section 2.1.

The top wall section 6.1 has an approximately rectangular engagement opening 22, which is bounded by a punching line 23. Cover flaps 24.1, 24.2, which are arranged in the engagement opening 22, are articulated to the edges of the engagement opening 22 parallel to the articulation of the top wall section 6.1. Between the cover flaps 24.1, 24.2, a gap 25 is present.

At the edge remote from the linkage of the top wall section 6.1 has a strip-shaped insertion tab 26 hinged. At the articulation of the tuck 26, a locking slot 27 is present.

At the articulation of the top wall portion 6.2 on the side wall 3, a insertion slot 28 for insertion of the tuck 26 is present. In the vicinity of the aforementioned articulation, a locking tab 30 is articulated in the side wall 3 at 29, which can be inserted with a hinged tab end 31 in the locking slot 27. The locking tab 30 is bounded by punching lines, which are arranged in the side wall 3 and the top wall section 6.2, and by an articulation of the top wall section 6.2 parallel to the side wall 3 articulation in the side wall 3. The locking tab 30 is made of the side wall 3 and from the Cover wall section 6.2 folds out. The tab end 31 can be folded down about a fold line which falls into the articulation of the top wall section 6.2 to the side wall when the Vernegelungslasche 30 is not folded out of the side wall 3 and the top wall section 6.2.

A weakening line 32 extends over the side walls 2 to 5. This begins at the upper edge of the side wall section 2.1 at the corner of this upper edge with the articulation of the side wall section 2.1 to the middle wall 10. From there, the weakening line 3 2 extends with a section 32.1 arcuately through the side wall portion 2.1, the side wall portion 3 to the middle of the upper edge of the side wall 4. The bottom has this section 32.1 of the weakening line 32 approximately in the middle of the side wall 3, where a tongue 33 is punched out, which is an initial tearing of the line of weakness 32 allows.

Starting from the middle of the upper edge of the side wall 4, the weakening line 32 extends in a further section 32.2 with a curved course through the side walls 4 and 5 and the side wall section 2.2. There it can be found on the right at the upper edge of the side wall section 2.2, which has a triangular cut-out 34 at this point. This section of the tear line 32 has at its low point approximately in the middle of the side wall 5 also a tear-open tab 35 bounded by punching lines, which facilitates an initial tearing of the weakening line 32.

The blank 1 is assembled by first the reinforcing tab 12 is folded against the inside of the middle wall 10 and glued to it.
