Abstract

The packaging container has a rectangular carton (2) with a delivery opening (3), closed by a pivoted flap (5), provided by folding and gluing a stamped out blank. The flap has sidewalls (7,7'), extending parallel to the pivot direction of the flap over the full sector between the closed position and the delivery position, at least one sidewall having a stop for limiting the outwards pivot movement of the flap.

Description

The invention relates to a package consisting of a produced by folding and gluing operations, preferably cuboid box according to the preamble of claim 1. These are mostly folding boxes, which are fully automatic are packable. For example, they become packaging of candy, chewing gum or lozenges used as Bulk goods can be filled into the box.

Generically comparable packaging is on one face closed with a hinged cap lid that in the open position a kind of collecting compartment for the emptied Forms content. A disadvantage of this closure element is in that the box is getting stronger with decreasing content must be inclined in order to be able to remove something, whereby in the It is usually not foreseeable how strong the inclination must be. Becomes part of the flap cover is swung open too much of the content lost. It is also the case with the well-known boxes not possible for removal at certain intervals to be placed firmly, for example next to the dashboard of a car, because otherwise the content is only reached in is relatively difficult to access using the thumb and index finger.

It is therefore an object of the invention to package the to create the type mentioned, in which the packaging content easier without the risk of accidental loss is accessible. The packaging is said to be easy to manufacture, too be transported and stored, and it should be on a packaging line can be filled automatically. The packaging should are ultimately suitable, firmly positioned as dispenser packaging to be, the closure element with one hand pivotable between the closed position and the dispensing position is. According to the invention, this object is achieved with packaging solved, which has the features in claim 1.

The swing-out flap with the forms two flap side walls guided on the box body in the simplest way a dispenser opening, which is easy Allows access to the package contents. Even with complete vertical position there is no risk of loss of the contents of the packaging because this is in the area of the dispenser opening dams. The flap side walls close in each swivel position the gusset that is laterally between the flap and the opening wall section opens.

At least one of the flap side walls particularly advantageously has a stop that limits the maximum possible Pivotal movement of the flap with the opening wall section interacts. The maximum swivel angle of the flap can be limited to a maximum of 75 °, preferably to a maximum of 60 °. The Stop thus prevents the flap from being opened too far can or that the flap side walls leave their guides can.

Further advantages can be achieved if the opening wall section or the flap at least partially double-layered are formed, the inner layer of the flap a tongue has which overlaps the insertion tongue behind Insertable section of the outer layer of the opening wall section is. This allows the flap to be in a safe, closed position being held. Can on the inner layer of the flap the flap side walls in a particularly simple manner be articulated. Alternatively, the outer location of the Flap have a tongue, which behind the one Insert tongue overlapping section of the inner layer of the opening wall section is insertable. So basically has the same effect as in the opposite case. Depending on The tongue can be dimensioned differently depending on the application become. It would be e.g. also conceivable, the inner layer of the opening wall section to be provided with an incision in which the tongue on the outer position of the flap are inserted can.

A particularly advantageous guidance of a flap side wall can can be achieved if a parallel to this valve side wall Box side wall is at least partially double-layered is and if the flap side wall between the inner and the outer position of the box side wall is guided. At a such guidance is high lateral stability even when the flap is open guaranteed.

A particularly optimal dispenser packaging is achieved that the cuboid box has a rectangular cross section with two parallel broad sides and two parallel narrow sides and that the opening wall portion one of the broad sides forms and the hinge fold with a side edge of this Broadside collapses. As a result, the flap is on the end the box is articulated so that the contents of the package are included almost empty box is always easily accessible.

The flap can be opened before opening for the first time Predetermined breaking points are connected to the opening wall section. On the one hand, this facilitates the manufacture of the box and on the other hand, this receives a guarantee function, whereby a first-time Open by separating the predetermined breaking points is displayed.

A guarantee function can also be guaranteed by that the flap is opened before opening it for the first time Guarantee tape is connected to the opening wall section. The guarantee band has the advantage that it is independent of the Opening direction of the flap torn open in another direction can be and that its absence or even a partial one Tear is clearly visible.

The packaging is preferably made from a single blank, for example made of cardboard or a laminate. But also a production in two or more blanks that glued in a suitable way is possible. The box can either be glued on all sides or at least it can on one end with a reclosable insert lid be provided. This plug-in lid could, for example used to refill the box while the actual removal takes place via the flap.

So that the box can be positioned firmly, it is preferred in the plane parallel to the opening wall section Provide the back wall section with a holding means. It could it is, for example, a holding strap for hanging and / or act to glue the box. For a firm positioning the box, for example next to the screen a personal computer or next to a car dashboard, can this with at least one self-adhesive section be provided. It can be an adhesive section, which is covered with a protective film. The self-adhesive Section could also be a piece of Velcro, who adheres to a textile surface.

The box according to FIGS. 3 to 7 consists of a single, contiguous blank 21 according to Figure 1. Die The box has a push-in closure on both ends and is only partially glued with it. The individual sections of the cut are by fold lines 22 or perforations 23 separated from each other.

The blank 21 according to FIG. 1 has an outer layer 12 of the opening wall section, which with the outer layer 10 of the flap is connected via a perforation. About in the middle on the The dividing line between the two sections 10 and 12 is one Cutout 13 punched out. The outer layer 12 is with an inner layer 11 of the opening wall section connected and to this joins the inner layer 9 of the flap, the sections 9 and 11 also through a perforation 23 from each other are separated. A tongue 32, however, is completely cut out. There are flap side walls on the side of the inner layer 9 7, 7 'arranged at the end of an arcuate top edge 34 each have a mandrel-like stop 8, 8 '. The length L1 the inner layer 11 is somewhat larger than the length L2 of the outer layer 12, so that the inner layer 11 after folding the outer layer 12 somewhat overlapped.

The outer layer 10 of the flap is over the later hinge fold 4 connected to a bottom portion 29 which is a plug-in bottom tab 30 has. The back of the box is formed by a Inner layer 24 and an outer layer 25. On the latter is the plug-in lid 16 arranged with a cover flap 31. Finally the long side walls of the box consist of the inner layer 14 and the outer layer 15 of a first box side wall and from a simple second box side wall 26. To the Sections 15 and 26 are dust flaps 27, 27 'for the floor and Dust flaps 28, 28 'arranged for the lid.

Figure 2 shows the blank 21 according to Figure 1 after a first Folding and gluing operation. The inner layer 11 of the opening side wall with the inner layer 9 of the flap folded down by 180 ° and flat with the outer layer 12 of the opening side wall and the outer layer 10 of the flap glued. As shown, lie now the flap side walls 7, 7 'on the sections 15 and 26 and can be raised together with these by 90 °, because the corresponding fold lines 22 coincide.

The prepared blank shown in FIG the next step is to glue the final box cut, by the inner layer 24 being plane-parallel with the outer layer 25 the back wall is glued. The flap side wall 7 comes here between the outer layer 15 and the inner layer 14 of the first Box side wall to lie. A cut prepared in this way can now be erected parallelogram-like and by folding the dust flaps 27, 27 'and 28, 28', and by inserting the bottom bracket 30 and the lid bracket 31 stabilized become.

Figures 3 to 5 show the position of the individual sections, in particular the double-layered wall sections. While the inner layer 24 and the outer layer 25 of the rear wall are flat lie on top of each other, take the inner layer 14 and the outer layer 15 of the first box side wall, the flap side wall 7 slidable between them. The flap side wall 7 'is due to the reserve behavior of the material against the second Box side wall 26 pressed.

The position of the box side wall is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 7 'in the closed position and in the open position of the flap 5 shown. The stop 8 is in the open position on the inside of the opening wall section 6 so that the Opening angle of the flap 5 is limited to approximately 55 °. Through the Length difference between L1 and L2 is on the inner layer 11 Web 33 is formed, which limits the flap 5 in the closed position.

For example, one filled in an automatic filling system Box 1 with the cuboid box body 2 is in Figure 6 shown. The perforations have to be opened for the first time 23 including the oblique perforations 35 are broken open. For this purpose, for example, with a fingernail in the Recess 13 engaged and the flap 5 around the hinge fold 4th be swung out in the direction of arrow a.

As shown in Figure 7, the whole or partial Swinging out the flap 5 exposes a dispensing opening 3 which the content can be extracted from. For reclosing the discharge opening 3, the flap 5 is pivoted back again and the tongue 32 is inserted into the recess 13. This is possible because the tongue 32 the recess 13 slightly overlaps and in this way the flap 5 in the closed position can hold.

FIG. 8 shows an alternative embodiment of a box, which is constructed essentially the same as the Box according to Figures 6 and 7. On the front is the However, the box is firmly glued. On the lid portion 36 is one Articulated tab 18, which is provided with an adhesive strip 19 is. The box can be fixed to this adhesive strip. In addition, an opening 20 can also be provided so that the box is presented on a suitable sales stand can be. Of course, it would also be conceivable to use the adhesive strip 19 or individual adhesive dots on the rear wall section 17 to arrange.

Figure 9 shows an alternative embodiment of a box 1, when opening the flap 5 first a guarantee tape 37 must be demolished. As can be seen from FIG. 10, a tongue 38 can be directly assigned to the outer layer 10 of the flap his. The inner layer of the double-layer opening wall section 6 forms a after tearing off the guarantee tape 37 Web 33, which has at least the same width as the guarantee band. Despite the complete loss of the guarantee band As a result, the dispensing opening 3 always remains closed. The tongue 38 can be dimensioned so that it is behind the Web 33 or can be inserted into a slot in the web 33.
