Description

Linke, Rudi, Virginie-Hölling-Weg 11, 48165 Münster "Packaging for film rolls etc."
The innovation concerns packaging for film rolls etc.

Foil rolls are often used, especially in the kitchen, for example to package food and thus preserve its variety of flavors over a longer period of time. Other goods are also offered on rolls, e.g.

Plastic bags arranged one after the other on a roll, etc.

Roll packaging is known for handling such films, which usually consists of a base and a

upper part, both of which are connected to each other and which hold the actual film roll and can then be closed. The film can then be pulled out through a gap between the upper and lower parts and cut at a cutting edge that is attached to the packaging.

is in order, be demolished.

The known packaging for these film rolls has a rectangular cross-section and it has been found that these known packagings, when pulling out the

Film from the roll has only a low stability, which means that it looks unsightly, especially after prolonged use, because it has deformed and is difficult to handle due to its soft construction. In addition, such square packaging is difficult to grip, especially

especially by small hands, and this makes the use of such folding boxes difficult, since the folding box can only be grasped with one hand, while the other hand pulls the film out of the folding box.

The innovation is based on the task of creating packaging for goods offered in roll form, in particular household foil and bags, which is particularly easy to handle even after prolonged use. 5

This problem underlying the innovation is solved by the teaching of the characterising part of the claim.

In other words, a packaging for goods offered in roll form is proposed which, instead of one four

square, has a triangular shape, whereby this shape is achieved by the top and bottom being connected to each other, and this new shape makes it much easier to grasp this packaging.

In addition, a significant advantage of the proposed packaging is that, due to its shape, it has a higher space efficiency than square packaging, i.e. more packaging of this type can be stored in the same storage space

than the known square packaging, so that a significant advantage of this innovation is that more articles can be offered per packaging unit with the same available volume. This is the case both in terms of transport and storage as well as when offering

e.g. advantageous in business.

In addition, a key advantage of the innovation is that the triangular shape makes it possible for the front of the packaging to be inclined towards the consumer, i.e. one of the

This type of packaging is conspicuous on the sales shelf, and especially when offered in lower shelf areas, the front of the packaging is advantageously facing the buyer.

Advantageous embodiments of the innovation are described in the

Subclaims explained.

An example of the innovation is shown in the drawings

shown, where

Fig. 1 shows a diagrammatic representation of a

packaging for film rolls in slightly opened position,

Fig. 2 shows a packaging for film rolls in

closed presentation and

Fig. 3 also shows a packaging for films

roll in a cutaway perspective view.

Referring to the drawings, a packaging 1 for

goods presented in roll form, e.g. foil rolls 2, wherein the packaging essentially consists of a lower part 3 and an upper part 4. The lower part 3 and the upper part 4 are connected to one another via a joint 5. In the illustrated embodiment, the packaging 1 is made in one piece from

formed, i.e. the joint 5 consists of the same material as the upper part 4 and the lower part 3, and the packaging 1 can be made from a sheet of paper, cardboard or the like if the pattern is appropriate.

In the embodiment according to Fig. 1, the lower part 3 is triangular overall, i.e. it has a bottom 6 and a front side 7, which are approximately the same length. In addition, it has triangular end faces 8. The lower part 3 is open opposite the front side 7, so that it can be at least partially

can accommodate the film roll 2.

The upper part 4 has a rear side 9 and an adjoining front side 10, which has a cutting device 11 at its free end. In this embodiment

This is a serrated cutting edge.

The upper part 4 also has front elements 12.

When opened, the film roll 2 can be easily inserted and after closing the lower part

and the upper part, an overall triangular cross-sectional shape of the packaging 1 results, as can be seen from Fig. 2. It can also be seen from Fig. 2 that a corresponding triangular shape is easy to grasp with one hand, and since essentially when grasping this triangular packaging 1

pressure is exerted on the upper edge area 14 and the lower edge area 15, i.e. in an area that is stable due to the shape, no significant deformation of the packaging occurs when the packaging 1 is grasped and when film is removed from the film roll 2.

In other words, a corresponding triangular packaging for a film roll 2 is still usable even after prolonged use and does not become unsightly due to deformation etc. even after prolonged use.

In the embodiment according to Fig. 3, the front side 7 is bent in the direction of the lower edge area 15 in order to enable the film to be rolled off the film roll 2 particularly easily. It is important that the extended edge of the front side

te 16 is directed towards the interior of the packaging to enable easy removal of the film, bag or the like.

The slanted design of the front side 7 or the front side 10 of the upper part 4 makes it possible to display product information

information or the brand name on the packaging 1 in a conspicuous manner to the seller.

It is possible to initially label the packaging 1 with a label which, in an advantageous embodiment, is designed to be circumferential.

Close the bottle, then place the label across the

arranged lengthwise of the packaging, can be removed without, for example, leaving adhesive residues on the packaging.

The triangular basic shape of the proposed packaging creates a higher area efficiency when the packaging is stacked in different orientations, i.e. when a layer of upright packaging is used first, on which a layer of packaging is placed with their tips facing

be placed below this lower layer, etc.

The proposed packaging 1 can be made, for example, of strong paper, cardboard, but also of plastic, metal, etc.
