technical field

The present invention relates to a carrying case in which several beverage packages can be placed, the carrying case comprising a bottom, at least two side walls, and a lid; the inner and outer portions of the lid superimposed on each other; at least one handle on the

The invention also relates to a handling structure comprising at least one inner support layer and at least one outer support layer superimposed on each other; and having at least one handle arranged protruding from the outer support layer.

Background technique

Bottles, cans, and similar beverage packaging containers can be packed in shipping boxes made of cardboard. The handling case forms an outer casing around the beverage packaging container, thereby enclosing the beverage packaging container inside. For ease of handling by the consumer, the package is typically provided with a handle on its upper portion. Known handles are made of plastic material and can be glued to the lid of the carrying case. A disadvantage of this handling structure is that the plastic parts have to be manufactured and fitted separately to form the handle, which slows down the production process.

Contents of the invention

One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a new and improved carrying container and carrying structure.

The carrying case of the present invention is characterized in that the lid is provided between its inner portion and outer portion with at least one elongated handle strap attached to the lid via a first attachment point and a second attachment point , at least one free space is formed in advance on the part between the first connection point and the second connection point of the cover, and at least one opening is provided on the outer side of the cover through which part of the handle strap passes and can be pulled An annular handle is formed out of the outer portion, and the connection points are arranged to move towards each other when forming the handle.

The carrying structure of the present invention is characterized in that the carrying structure comprises: at least one longitudinal handle strap arranged between the inner support layer and the outer support layer, the handle strap being connected to at least one on a support layer; the carrying structure includes at least one free space connected to at least one connection point, and the outer support layer includes at least one opening through which a portion of the handle strap can be pulled out of the outer support layer to form a loop a handle, and at least one connection point is arranged to move towards the second connection point when forming the handle.

The basic idea of the invention is that the cover of the transport box comprises at least two layers placed on top of each other, namely an inner part and an outer part. A slender handle strap is arranged between the inner part and the outer part, and when the packing box needs to be moved, the handle strap can be used to conveniently form a handle for carrying the packing box. Both ends of the handle strap are connected to the cover, and the outer portion of the cover is provided with an opening, which enables the user to hold the handle strap portion between the connection points. The cover is also provided with at least one free space beforehand, which allows the connection points of the handle straps to move towards each other, so that the part of the handle strap loosened by the movement can form a looped handle outside the cover.

The invention has the advantage that the handle is protected by the outer part of the cover, so that no tension forces act on the cover before the handle is used. In addition, the handle does not substantially affect the appearance of the shipping container when placed. This structure also forms a strong and sufficiently large handle.

The basic idea of an embodiment of the invention is that the end of the lid is provided with a support flap arranged such that when the handle strap is pulled upwards, the flap bends towards the bottom of the carrying case. This enables the support flaps to support the beverage packaging containers in the carry case and prevent them from falling.

The basic idea of an embodiment of the invention is that the shipping container is manufactured from a single sheet blank. This makes it easier to produce the shipping container and facilitates handling of the slab. In addition, manufacturing steps are reduced, allowing faster and lower production costs.

The basic idea of the embodiments of the present invention is that the outer cover and the handle structure of the transport packaging box are made of packaging cardboard. Boxes made from packaging cardboard are more durable and can be burned or used as recycled fiber. The price of cardboard is also advantageous, and high-quality printing can be done on cardboard.

The basic idea of an embodiment of the invention is that the shipping container is made of corrugated cardboard.

The basic idea of an embodiment of the invention is that the outer part of the cover is provided with a tear-off reinforcement which can be attached to the handle strap. In this way, the reinforcing portion can reinforce the structure of the handle. Furthermore, with the stiffened portion, the outer portion of the cover can form a generally flat surface on which the desired pattern can be printed.

The basic idea of the embodiments of the present invention is that the two short sides of the carrier box slab are provided with folded portions, thereby making the outer edge thicknesses of the short sides of the slab equal. The slab is thus easy to handle and easy to feed into the packaging machine.

Detailed ways

The handling box shown in FIG. 1 comprises a bottom 1 , at least two side walls 2 and a cover 3 . Side walls 2 may be provided on the long sides of the packaging box. The short side of the box, ie the end 12, may be open without having to be provided with side walls. The side wall 2 may consist of a lower part 2a and an upper part 2b. The lower part 2a may comprise openings 4a or similar to hold the lower part of the bottle in place within the packaging. The upper part 2b of the side wall 2 may also be provided with an opening 4b or corresponding means to hold the upper part of the bottle in place. Furthermore, the side wall 2 of the pack may be provided with one or more tear-off tabs for removing the bottle from the transport pack. The side walls may not be flat, they may be formed by one or more straps or similar to hold the bottom 1 and lid 2 together. The cover 3 of the carrying case has a handle 5 for holding and carrying the case. The cover 3 may comprise at least two layers placed on top of each other, namely an inner layer 3a and an outer layer 3b. The outer layer 3b of the cover may be a substantially flat surface with an opening approximately in its center, from which the handle 5 may be pulled out if necessary, thereby forming a handle loop on the outer surface of the cover 3 . The handle 5 can be dimensioned to protrude sufficiently beyond the outer surface of the lid 3 . In this way, the handle 5 provides a firm grip and makes the user feel comfortable when carrying the package. When the shipping containers are stacked on top of each other on a pallet or in a shipping box, the hidden handle 5 does not interfere with stacking in any way. The user first selects the desired transport package and then pulls the handle 5 from the structural cover assembly of the cover 3 so that the package can be transported using the handle 5 . The well-protected carrying handle5 is not damaged during stacking and transport. The handle 5 can be made of an elongated handle strap 6 arranged between the inner layer 3a and the outer layer 3b of the cover 3, the first end of which can be connected at the connection point 7a, and further Its second end is connected at the connection point 7b, so that the handle strap 6 is connected to the part 3a inside the lid 3 . The connection points 7a, 7b can be located at the ends of the short sides of the cover 3 . The handle strap 6 rests freely on the part between the connection points 7a, 7b, whereby the handle 6 can be lifted from the position 6a to the position 6b beyond the outer surface of the cover 3, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 . Furthermore, the part 3a inside the cover 3 is provided with at least one free space 8a, 8b between the connection points 7a, 7b, which allows the connection points 7a, 7b to move towards each other when the handle 6 is lifted. Since the free spaces 8a, 8b allow the connection points 7a, 7b to move towards each other, the distance between the connection points 7a, 7b is reduced and the handle strip 6 is able to form a loop handle 5 on the side of the outer surface of the lid 3 . The carrying handle strap 6 may be non-extensible in construction and may be made of the same material as the rest of the shipping container. The free spaces 8a, 8b can be openings formed beforehand on the part 3a inside the cover 3 . And the free space 8a, 8b can be arranged in the vicinity of the connection point 7a, 7b. However, in some cases it is sufficient to set a free gap connected to only one connection point. Furthermore, the outer part 3 b of the cover 3 can be provided with a tear-off piece which can be used as a reinforcement 9 for the handle 5 . This reinforcement 9 can protect the handle 5, in which case the handle 5 does not affect the appearance of the transport package in the storage state. In addition, the reinforcing member 9 can also have printed patterns. The two short sides of the cover 3 may also have supporting flaps 10 which can be bent down along the creases 11 when the handle 5 is lifted. The support flaps 10 thus form predetermined dimensioned surfaces on the ends 12 of the pack which are capable of supporting the beverage packaging containers 13 inside the carry pack when the carry pack is being handled. As a result, the beverage packaging container 13 cannot fall out of the transport packaging box.

Figure 2 shows a top view of the shipping container, while Figure 3 shows an end view thereof. The opening 14 on the outside of the cover 3 and the reinforcement 9 can be made to the desired size and shape. The end of the handle strap 6 can be connected to a support flap 10 . The free spaces 8a, 8b may be openings provided on the cover part below the handle strap 6, and the shape of the openings may be set as required, such as a square. The handle strap 6 can be an integral part of the carrying case, or it can be a separate piece attached to the lid 3, such as by attaching the handle strap to the cover 3 with adhesive, staples, form-locking or other suitable attachment means. Connect to cover 3. In some cases, several handle straps 6 can be placed on top of each other. The handle strap 6, lid and other parts of the shipping container can be made of cardboard, corrugated cardboard or other suitable fibrous materials.

As shown in FIG. 3, two rows of beverage packaging containers 13 may be placed in the handling package. The length of the transport box can be determined in the longitudinal direction, for example, in such a way that the transport box can handle 4 to 24 beverage packaging containers.

FIG. 4 shows an unfolded view of the carrier container blank 15 . The blank 15 may be manufactured from cardboard or corrugated cardboard suitable for use as packaging material. The slab 15 can be manufactured from a single sheet-like plate. The blank 15 can be provided with the necessary openings, punched and other types of perforations, as well as various types of hems or other folding points by means of punching machines. The basic shape of the slab 15 can be formed even in one operation step, thereby enabling rapid production. Between the bottom 1 and the side wall 2 a first set of folding points 16 is formed. A second set of folding points 17 is then formed between the lower part 2a and the upper part 2b of the side wall. A third set of folding points 18 may be formed between the inner part 3a of the lid and the side wall, and correspondingly between the outer part 3b and the side wall. The inner part 3a of the lid has longitudinal strip portions 19a and 19b, between which a fourth set of folding points 20 may be provided so that the strip portions can be folded and connected to each other. In this way, a double layered handle strap 6 is formed. Furthermore, the blank may also comprise an elongated opening 21 and an end 22 of the opening 21, by means of which the handle strap 6 can be connected to the inner part 3a of the lid. The inner part 3a also comprises openings 23 forming free spaces 8a, 8b. After the handle strap 6 has been folded towards the inner part 3a of the lid at the fifth folding point 24, the remaining part between the opening 23 and the edge of the blank 15 can be used as connection points 7a, 7b for the handle strap 6. The longer outer edge of the outer part 3b of the lid may include strips 25a and 25b which may be folded against each other at a sixth folding point 26 and attached to the surface of the underside of the outer part 3b of the lid. The strips 25a and 25b then form a thickened strip that can be bonded to the outer surface of the inner part of the lid. The strips 25a and 25b may be sized along their length such that the strips 25a and 25b do not extend to the support tab 10, in which case the support tab 10 does not form with the strips 25a and 25b. The thickened belt is connected.

Figure 5 shows the shape of the blank 15 which can be fed into the packaging machine. The straps 19a and 19b are connected to each other, so that the handle strap 6 is folded towards the outer surface of the inner part 3a of the lid. The inner surface 22' of the portion 22 is thus visible on the side of the outer surface of the inner portion 3a. The handle strap 6 is further connected to the inside part 3a inside the lid at connection points 7a and 7b. On the part between the openings 23, the handle strap 6 is not connected to the inner part 3a, but can be lifted in the vertical direction with respect to the height of the inner part 3a. Besides, the strips 25a and 25b at the edge of the outer portion 3b of the cover are overlapped and folded and connected to the lower surface of the outer portion 3b. The carrying case may be assembled by attaching a thickened strip of strips 25a, 25b to the outer surface of the inner part 3a of the lid in a packaging machine. The thickness of the thickened strip formed by strips 25a and 25b may be comparable to the thickness of the handle strip 6, which facilitates joining together the inner part 3a and the outer part 3b of the lid.

Fig. 6 shows another transport structure. In this construction, the shipping container includes an inner support layer 26 and an outer support layer 27 disposed thereon. The carrying case also includes an elongated handle strap 6 connected to the inner support layer 26 at connection points 7a, 7b. At least the inner support layer 26 has telescoping elements at the connection points 7a, 7b, such as the fold point 11, such that the connection points 7a, 7b move towards each other when subjected to a predetermined amount of force. Furthermore, the inner support layer 26 may also have an opening 23 extending from the first connection point 7a to the second connection point 7b. This opening 23 forms a free space 8 into which the connection points 7a, 7b can move when a force acts on the handle strap 6 . The outer support layer 27 may have an opening 14 through which the handle strap 6 is visible and through which a portion of the handle strap 14 may be pulled out of the outer surface of the outer support layer 27 . In this case, the outer part 3b of the cover does not have reinforcements 9 . The rest of the shipping container can be of various shapes and sizes.

Figures 7a and 7b further illustrate the principles of the handling structure of the present invention in highly simplified views. In the storage state, the handle strap 6 is placed at rest, while in the transport state, on the other hand, the handle strap 6b is lifted upwards. The handle strap 6 is arranged between an inner support layer 26 and an outer support layer 27 and is connected to the inner support layer 26 by connection points 7a, 7b. At least one free space 8 is provided between the connection points 7a, 7b. In addition, the connection points 7 a , 7 b are connected to the inner support layer 26 by means of telescopic elements 28 . The telescoping member 28 may include fold points, creases, or other components that are capable of the desired deformation within the shipping box previously formed within the shipping box. As shown in Figures 7a and 7b, the connection points 7a, 7b can be moved towards each other. A factor affecting the height C of the curvature of the handle strap 6b is the distance by which the connection points 7a, 7b move toward each other, in other words, how much the length changes from length A to length B. This height C may be at least 20 mm, preferably 30 mm. The opening 14 in the outer support layer 27 allows the user to grip the handle strap 6 and control the shape of the handle 5 . The enlarged opening 14 allows a wider handle 5 to be formed and vice versa.

FIG. 8 shows an unfolded view of another carrier container blank 15 . The slab 15 may be made of a single sheet and substantially corresponds to the slab shown in FIG. 4 . However, some differences can also be seen from the scheme shown in FIG. 8 . The handle 6 is produced by bonding together a first handle strip 6' and a second handle strip 6" in a packaging machine. Therefore, the produced handle strip is double-layered. Fig. 9 Indicates the adhesive connection point 30 for assembling the handle strip extending from the first long side to the second long side of the slab.By means of the fold point 31 the outer layer 3b of the lid is provided with a first flap 32, which includes an elongated first connecting strap 33 and an elongated second handle strap 6". Before entering the packaging machine, the first flap 32 is folded and glued at the folding point 31 so that the back side of the first flap 32 and the outer layer 3b of the lid are brought against each other. There is a cut 34 between the first connecting strip 33 and the second handle strip 6", thereby forming the handle 6. The surface of the first flap 32 is flat due to the first connecting strip 33, which helps Assemble and glue this transport packing box in. In addition, opening 35 can be provided at the two ends of first connection strap 33, and this opening 35 and folding point 11 allow the connection points 7a ", 7b " of handle strap 6 " to move toward each other . In the blank 15 shown in FIG. 9, the opening 14 for gripping the handle 6 is formed only on one side of the tear-off reinforcement 9, so that it is easier to bond the lid 3 in the packaging machine and this lid 3 will will be very strong.

The second short side of the blank 15 shown in FIG. 8 comprises a second flap 36 connected to the upper part 2b of the side wall by means of a folding point 18 . The second flap 36 has an elongated first handle strap 6' and attachment points 7a', 7b' at both ends thereof. Furthermore, this second flap 36 comprises a second connecting strip 37 on the part between the first handle strap 6' and the folding point 18, and also comprises a part between the first handle strap 6' and the folding point 38. The thickened belt 39 on. A cutout 34 may be provided between the first handle strap 6 and the second connecting strap 37 and the thickened strap 39 . This second flap 36 is connected to the inner layer 3 a of the cover by means of a fold point 38 . The inner layer 3a of the lid is folded at the folding point 38 and the backside of the inner layer 3a is bonded to the backside of the second flap 36 before entering the packaging machine. Figure 8 also shows a tear-off portion 40 on the side of the carrying case through which the beverage packaging container can be removed from the carrying case.

Figure 9 shows the shape of the blank 15 of Figure 8 as it can be fed into the packaging machine. This first flap 32 is folded and attached to the back side of the outer layer 3b of the lid at a folding point 31, and the inner layer 3a of the lid is further folded and attached to a second flap 36 at a folding point 38. dorsal side. In this way, both short sides of the slab 15 have double layers, which facilitates feeding the slab 15 into the packaging machine. In the packaging machine, the first handle strip 6' and the second handle strip 6" can be bonded together by means of a uniformly bonded first connection point 30. In addition, the second connecting strip 37 can be bonded together by means of a uniformly bonded The jointed second connection point 41 is bonded to the first connection strip 33. The cover 3 may therefore comprise two uniformly bonded connection points 30 and 41, in which case the cover 3 may be securely bonded. Further increasing the cover 3 A measure of robustness is that the opening 14 does not extend beyond the second adhesive connection point 41, but instead places the opening 14 at the unbonded thickening strip 39. The structure shown is also advantageous in that it is bonded together The joining surface of the parts is part of the upper surface of the sheet, which is typically of better quality than the backside of the sheet.

The resulting handle strap 6 in the solution shown in Figures 8 and 9 is placed between the inner part 3a and the outer part 3b of the lid. A free space 8 is formed between the first handle strip 6" and the back side of the inner layer 3a of the cover, which allows the connection points 7a' and 7b' to move towards each other to form the handle. In addition, the opening 35 and crease 11 also contribute to the handle.

Figure 9 also illustrates other aspects that should be considered when handling the shipping container. The upper surface of the outer layer 3b of the lid is preferably as smooth and uniform as possible, so that the package can be handled by various robotic hands. The blank 15 in FIG. 9 is provided with a first connection surface 42 at the end of the outer layer 3b of the cover, to which the suction cups of a robot or corresponding means can grip. Even though the cutout of the stiffener 9 is located on the second connection surface 43, a suction cup with a lower clamping force can tighten this second connection surface.

Figure 10 shows an unfolded view of the third blank 15 of the carrier package. This slab 15 may be made of a single sheet and is substantially identical to the slab shown in the previous figures. In this blank 15, the outer layer 3b of the lid is provided with side flaps 44 by means of folding points 18'. Furthermore, the second short end of the blank 15 bears, by means of the folding point 18 , the inner layer 3 a of the cover, which may have an opening 45 . A flap 47 is connected to the inner layer 3 a of the lid by a fold point 46 ; The elongated handle strap 6 is bounded by a connecting strap 48 and a thickened strap 49 with cutout 34 .

Figure 11 shows the shape in which the blank 15 of Figure 10 can be fed into the packaging machine. The flap 47 is folded at the fold point 46 and connected to the inner layer 3a of the lid. The backside 47' of the flap 47 is visible. In the packaging machine, the connection strip 48 may be connected to the back of the lid outer layer 3b using uniformly bonded connection points 50 . It is further possible to attach the handle strap 6 to the back of the stiffener 9 with an adhesive connection 51 . In addition, the side flaps 44 can be folded towards the upper part 2b of the opposite side wall of the handling container and the side flaps 44 can be connected to the side walls 2b by means of uniformly bonded connection points 52 . This makes the cover 3 extremely robust. Although the handle strap 6 consists of only one layer, the handle is very strong because the structure of the cover provides strong side support for the handle. An open space 8 is left between the handle strip 6 and the inner layer 3a of the lid, which allows the connection points 7a' and 7b' to move towards each other when forming the handle. In addition, opening 45 and fold point 11 may also serve as an open space, helping to form a handle.

The above-mentioned drawings and the descriptions related thereto are only used to introduce the idea of the present invention. The details of the invention may vary within the scope of the claims. Accordingly, the carrying case of the present invention may be manufactured from different slabs than those shown in the figures.
