"Packaging for hosiery items"
5

The innovation relates to a packaging according to the preamble of claim 1.

Such packaging is known from practice. It is usually U-shaped bent paper

or pieces of cardboard that hold the hosiery item between the front and back and which are in turn packed in a closed, transparent plastic bag.

The generic packaging has the advantage of being price

to be inexpensive to produce. Depending on the design of the window-forming cutouts in the paper or cardboard pieces, they generally enable a good presentation of the goods. However, the presentation of the goods is limited when a large number of similar packages are used.

handled and pressed. The packaging then collapses unsightly, making the goods look unsightly and possibly even damaging the goods.

The innovation is based on the task of improving a generic packaging so that it enables good protection and a good presentation of the goods while being inexpensive to produce.

This problem underlying the innovation is solved by a packaging having the features of claim 1.

In other words, the innovation proposes to prevent the collapse into a flat article by means of spacers

to avoid the gap between the front and back of the

packaging. These spacers can be designed in a cost-effective manner using side walls made from the same paper or cardboard cut-out.

In particular, the retention of the desired volume of the packaging is ensured by the fact that the base plate is convexly contoured, i.e. wider in its middle area than at both ends. This design enables a curved surface on the front and/or back with particularly good pressure stability.

The fact that the front and/or back takes on the desired convex shape is advantageously supported by a weakening line, which can be designed in the form of a row of holes, a notch line or the like.

Further advantageous embodiments of the innovation can be found in the subclaims.

An example of the innovation is shown in the drawing

tion is explained in more detail below.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view from below of a

Packaging and

Fig. 2 is also a perspective view from above

on the packaging of Fig. 1.

In Fig. 1, 1 generally represents a packaging which consists of two layers: a folding packaging 2 made of paper or cardboard or paperboard material on the one hand and an outer trans

parent plastic cover 3 on the other hand. The folding packaging 2 is made of a one-piece, multiply folded cardboard blank. The folding packaging 2 forms a base 4, side walls 5 and a front 6 as well as an opposite rear 9 and a lid 7, as can be seen from

As can be seen in Fig. 2.

The base 4 has a convex contour, i.e. it is wider in its middle area than at its two ends facing the side walls 5. This promotes a curvature of the front 6 and the opposite back, which ensures dimensional stability of the folding packaging 2. A weakening line 8 can be seen in the front 6, which runs centrally across the front 6 and promotes the aforementioned curvature of the front 6. The weakening line 8 is designed in the form of an embossing, so that the decoration printed on the folding packaging remains unaffected. The back

Side 9 of the folding packaging 2 does not have such a weakening line, but can also be provided with one.

The lid 7 has a recess which provides a viewing window

which allows a view of the stocking article contained in the folding packaging 2. The viewing window 10 extends slightly into the back 9 and, comparatively large, into the front 6. The viewing window 10 also acts similarly to a line of weakness as a

Material weakening and promotes a curvature or buckling of the front side 6 and the back side 9 in favor of their convex curved shape.

The plastic cover 3 provides for the folding packaging 2 and the

The folding packaging 2 completely surrounds the hosiery article except for the viewing window 10, and in contrast to the embodiment shown, it would also be possible to design the packaging 1 in which a transparent material

is only provided in the area of the viewing window 10, so that the additional outer covering in the form of the plastic cover 3 could be dispensed with.

The side walls 5 provide stabilization of the folding

pack 2, which causes the folding packaging to collapse

2, thereby protecting the hosiery item contained in the Fait packaging 2 from mechanical damage and also improving its visual presentation. The closed design of the side walls enables them to provide good support and also interact with the other

Surfaces of the folding packaging 2 provide particularly good protection for the hosiery article, as it is almost completely surrounded by the folding packaging 2,

Because the upper cover 7 is perpendicular to the front

te 6 and the back 9, it also acts as a spacer in addition to the side walls 5 and supports the effect of the side walls 5. The lid 7 is interrupted in its middle area by the viewing window 10, but otherwise has a tapering towards the two ends.

the course, is designed according to the convex shape of the base 4 and thus supports the curvature of the front 6 and the back 9.

Instead of the only weakening line 8 shown in the

Front side 6 can have several weakening lines, for example two weakening lines spaced apart from each other, which do not run exactly in the middle of the front side 6. The arrangement of a single weakening line supports the rigidity of the folding packaging 2 against being pressed in and

affects the images arranged on the front 6 as little as possible, for example the readability of product information.

Claims (7)

"Packaging for hosiery items" Packaging for hosiery articles, such as stockings and tights, each with a front and a back side and a base made of a solid, foldable material, the back side being spaced apart from the front side to create a receiving space for the hosiery article and with a transparent protective cover surrounding the hosiery article, characterized in that the base (4) tapers from a wide central area to the two sides and that on the two sides of the packaging (1) spacers are provided between the front side (6) and the back (9). 2. Packaging according to claim 1, characterized in that a centrally running weakening line (8) is provided in the front (6) and/or the back (9). 3. Packaging according to claim 1 or 2, characterized by an upper spacer between the front (6) and the back (9). 4. Packaging according to claim 3, characterized in that the upper spacer is designed as a lid (7). 5. Packaging according to claim 3 or 4, characterized in that the upper spacer has a peripheral shape corresponding to the lower base (4). 6.
