Definitions

the invention relates to a blank for a folding box according to the preamble of Protection claim 1.
Such prefabricated blanks are known for folding boxes. You will be particular in the case of sales via retail, for example, folded flat and with packaged in a shrink wrap or put in a plastic bag on the market.
the transport aids, such as shrink films or plastic bags are required to prevent them will mean that the blanks unfold during transport, i.e. become bulky and possibly cause damage. Added to this are the additional costs for this Packaging material including the environmental impact of additional packaging. In principle, however, punched and prefabricated blanks have proven their worth, from which a folding box can be quickly formed.
the cut for a folding box is in several folding sections divided by predetermined folding lines such as the bottom, side walls, lid and the like the blank is folded flat in transport condition by an integrated holding element is held in this state, the predetermined breaking points, which when unfolding the Break the folding box and release the folding sections.
the holding member is expedient arranged between the folded sections folded over one another in the transport state, specifically as stamped into the fold section covered by the outer fold section Ronde, which is formed with lateral webs and with the outer folding section facing Surface is glued to the inside of the covered outer folding section.
the blank for a folding box also has side walls in its corner areas are connected to each other with tabs, each of which is divided into two triangular lines by predetermined folding lines Areas divided and each with one of these areas with the neighboring one Side wall are glued flat so that when unfolding the blank Side walls are in a position perpendicular to the floor.
the corner areas are reinforced in the corner areas of the side walls trained and on the other hand, the folding box forms when erecting the folded Cutting, i.e. when erecting the individual folding sections, by itself, whereby a package box e.g. for mailing.
the outer folding section to cover the one in the transport state Folding section through at least three nominal crease lines running parallel to the floor is divided into three strips, of which the strip hinged to the floor is a side wall forms, the adjoining strip of the same width as the side wall Stabilization of the folding box can be folded into the folding box when opened is formed, and the subsequent third strip of the same or less Width as the side wall, flat with the floor and for its bracing in the right Angle to the side wall is arranged foldable.
This side wall is preferably centered in the area of the transition to the adjoining one
Strips a known stamped closure flap provided in the put a flap when closing the folding box and lock it irreversibly is, the tab on the free end of the lid designed in the transport state of the cut outer folding section.
Such a known per se Closing the folding box has the advantage that it e.g. be sent as a parcel can, without the need for additional adhesive strips to secure the closed folding box are.
To open the closed folding box according to the invention is on the Closure flap provided a mark which is flush with the top edge of the side walls runs along which the flap is then simply cut open must to open the folding box.
the base area of the folded in the flat Folding box from the ground and the on this adjoining side wall to which the outer overlapping folding section connects as a lid is formed. So that are in the flat folded transport state the folding box ensures three approximately the same folding positions.
the folding box according to the invention can be manufactured in different sizes e.g. 33x25.5x11 cm or 44x35x15.5 cm, with the latter size at least in each case two integrated holding members aligned at a distance from one another, Flaps and should be provided in these pluggable tabs.
the blank of cardboard shown in FIG. 1 in a plan view - designated by 1 - is a total completely unfolded, i.e. perfectly flat, like this one not shown Punch leaves.
the blank 1 has three large folding sections 2 to 4, which by the Set buckling lines 5 and 6 are divided. After punching out the cardboard, the cardboard blank is cut 1 folded inwards around the nominal folding lines 5 and 6, the top layer, the folding section 4, with the middle layer, the folding section 2, by means of an integrated Holding member 7 is glued together.
the latter is particularly important because such flat surfaces are folded together Cardboard blanks e.g. offered on store shelves and taken from customers become. It must be ensured that these flat transport units do not open, otherwise the blank will unfold and be damaged during transportation can.
the holding member which expediently from one in the folding section 2 punched section, in particular a blank, which is in the unused Condition held by lateral webs as predetermined breaking points in the folding section 2 is.
the round blank 7, which is oval in the present case, is when folded the flat transport unit flat on the underside of the also folded outer folding section 4 glued at 8.
the holding member 7 is placed as a glue point on a predetermined breaking point while holding the flat folded transport unit without additional packaging safe in the flat state. Damage or other impairment of the visible outer surface of the folding box is avoided.
the blank 1 also has four side walls 9 to 12, which have tabs in their corner areas 13 to 16 are connected to one another, each by means of predetermined folding lines 17 in two triangular areas 18 and 19 are divided.
the tabs 13 to 16 are expedient each with their areas 19 (FIG. 3) with the adjacent side wall 9 or 10 glued flat such that when the blank 1 is unfolded, the side walls 11 and 12 one to the floor - refer. take with 20 - vertical position.
the Strip 24 has the same width as the side wall 10. The strip 24 serves for stabilization the folding box and is therefore folded into the inside of the folding box, like is clearly visible in Fig. 4 (indicated by the arrow there).
the side wall 10 has a center in the area of the transition to the adjoining strip 24 a known stamped-out closure flap 26.
the closure flap 26 acts it is a punched-out tongue with a snap-off tab at its free end with ears 27 and 28 which can be bent at the ends (FIG. 5a).
the folding section serving as cover 29 has 4 at its free end, a tab 30, which has a U-shaped cut-out 31 (FIG. 1), the tab 30 is vertical when the folding box is closed (see arrow in Fig. 5a) plugged into the closure flap 26 and irreversible with it can be locked.
the latter takes place in such a way that the ears 27 and 28 of the web of the
the closure flap 26 is bent inwards so that the U-shaped slot 31 a U-shaped bracket corresponding to this arises, which corresponds to the illustration 5b is inserted into the U-shaped slot 31.
the closure flap 26 is provided with a marking 32, along which the closure flap 26 when the folding box is closed can be cut off again so that the folding box can be opened again easily.
the bottom 20 with the side surface 9 for transporting the folded Folding sections forms a unit and on the side walls 11 and 12, strips 33, which can be folded inwards at their free ends for further stiffening and 34 are provided.
the blank 35 shown in FIG. 2 differs in principle from the blank 1 of FIG. 1 only in that two in each case arranged in alignment at a distance from each other Holding members 7 ', two closure flaps 26' and two tabs 30 'which can be plugged into them are provided.
the present invention advantageously makes a flat-lying space-saving Delivery of a folding cardboard achieved, its fixation by a constructive execution has been improved over the prior art in that adhesive dots, placed on sections provided with predetermined breaking points, which the keep individual cardboard layers securely lying flat without additional packaging.
the folding box according to the invention offers easy erection by means of a "self-erecting" Floor construction (4-point adhesive) as well as a simple closing by means of one or more plug-in tabs with an accompanying safety counter-lock, in which the counter-locking tab with its ear-like to be bent by 90 ° Ends 27 and 28 cause that after inserting them into the U-shaped Slot 31, the ear-like ends 27 and 28 bent over by 90 ° due to their own The restoring force inside the folding box springs back to its original position and thus lead to an irreversible locking.
This lock has the big one Advantage that the additional use of adhesive tapes can be omitted. An opening of the locked carton is then only by cutting the flap 26th possible along the marking 32 and thus the function as a tamper-evident seal given.
FIGS. 5a and 5b shows an alternative to the closure of the folding box shown in FIGS. 5a and 5b the lid 29 of the box with the locking tab 30, the one at 41 on the inner surface
has self-adhesive closure 42 which is designed here as a strip-shaped adhesive tape, which is optionally provided with a tear-off tape.
the tear-off tape is used peeled off or, depending on the design of the self-adhesive closure, the adhesive tape 42 otherwise made active so that the tab 30 on the wall 10 to close the mail container can be glued.
the tab 30 has above the adhesive tape 42 a tear thread 43, which is provided on the inside of the tab 30 and is expediently integrated with the tab 30. So needs to open the box only the tear thread 43 are pulled off, which then opens the lid 29 can. The adhesive closure over the tape 42 is then retained, but interferes with the opening of the lid. Another seal is by applying an adhesive tape from then easily possible from the outside.
a tear-off tab 44 formed by a perforation line is provided. Thereby the tear-off thread can be gripped better and the box opened.
the The location of the tear thread can also be identified by an optical marking.
