Thimra KG packaging works v2/kü Collective packaging in the form of an open-topped carrier Description

The invention relates to a collective pack in the form of a carrier made of cardboard, corrugated cardboard or the like that is open at the top. For a large number of containers of the same shape and size that are to be lined up next to one another in a plane, In particular tubes, elongated glass containers or the like, consisting of an upper carrier plate made from a first Cut and a lower carrier plate made from a second cut with a base part, whereby the Carrier plates have openings that are evenly distributed over their surfaces and vertically aligned with one another for receiving the containers, the size and shape of which corresponds to the respective cross-section of the container to be received, And whereby the two cuts are connected to one another by means of side walls, tabs or the like that are bent along fold lines, To form the collective pack.

A collective pack of this type is already known from DE-OS 37 Ol 388. The invention disclosed therein describes a collective pack with a carrier for a large number of tubes and the like that can be lined up vertically next to one another, the carrier being formed from two spaced cardboard plates in which recesses arranged coaxially one above the other are provided for receiving the tubes. However, this collective pack is made from two cardboard blanks. The first blank essentially comprises the base and the lower carrier plate and

ig the second cut the upper carrier plate with the

!* Side walls of the collective pack.

The invention is therefore based on the object of to create a collective package of the type described above,

■ which is cheaper and easier to manufacture.

&Ggr; This object is achieved according to the invention in that the

Collective packaging is made from a single blank of cardboard, corrugated cardboard or similar.

The base part, on which short side walls and flaps are arranged, is connected to a base part via further * long fold lines and a narrow long side wall with

Cj is arranged in the bottom part, is with the high

Longitudinal side wall, which is arranged at the free end of the upper support plate of the blank, is glued or otherwise connected. The narrow longitudinal side wall, which is located at the free end of the lower support plate of the blank, can be glued or otherwise connected to the high longitudinal side wall, which is arranged between the base part and the upper support plate.

According to another particular embodiment of the invention, the height of the narrow

The height of the high longitudinal side walls determines the distance between the upper support plate and the base part.

It is further proposed that the folding be carried out along the fold lines of the blank in the folded state at an angle of 90°.

A further expedient embodiment of the invention provides that the overlapping short side walls of the base part and the upper carrier plate and the tabs of the lower carrier plate of one side of the collective packaging or the short side walls of the upper carrier plate and the base part and the tabs of the lower carrier plate of the other side of the collective packaging are glued or otherwise connected to one another.

The drawing shows a particularly advantageous embodiment, which is described below.

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the cut-out of the collective pack from Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the partially folded collective pack of Fig. 1; and

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the multipack of Fig. 3 in a more advanced folding state.

The collective pack 1 is in the form of a cardboard carrier open at the top to accommodate two rows of five

Tubes 2 are formed which, as can be seen from Fig. 1, are inserted with their heads pointing downwards into opening cutouts 6, 7 of the respective upper support plate 4 and the lower support plate 5, which are arranged parallel one above the other and aligned with one another.

The collective pack 1 is formed from a single blank 1a (as shown in Fig. 2) made of cardboard. The free end of the upper carrier plate 4 of the blank has a high longitudinal side wall 8 and short side walls 21, 22. The upper carrier plate 4 is connected to a base part 3 via long fold lines 13, 14 and a high longitudinal side wall 9 extending over the height of the collective pack. Short side walls 23, 24 and tabs 25, 26 are arranged on the short sides of the base part 3. The base part 3 is also connected to the lower carrier plate 5 via long fold lines 15, 16 and a narrow longitudinal side wall 10. The lower carrier plate 5 has a narrow longitudinal side wall 11 and foldable tabs 29, 30 on the side opposite the base part 3. Two tabs 27, 28 are formed on the front side of the narrow longitudinal side wall 10.

As can be seen from Fig. 1 and 4, the narrow longitudinal side wall 11 overlaps with the high longitudinal side wall when the collective pack is folded up and is glued to the high longitudinal side wall over its entire surface. The narrow longitudinal side wall 10 is overlapped by the high longitudinal side wall 8 when folded up and is also glued to it over its entire surface.

The height of the narrow longitudinal side walls 10, 11 defines the distance between the lower support plate 5 and the base part 3, as can be seen in Fig. 1 and 3« The height of the short side walls 21, 22, 23, 24 and the high

I ' 5 I ' I I ' •••J· ·' ' '

Longitudinal side walls 8, 9 define the distance of the upper support plate 4 to the base part 3 and thus also the distance to the lower support plate 5.

The overlapping short side walls 21, 23 and the tabs 27, 29 or the short side walls 22, 24 and the tabs 28, 30 are each glued to one another over their entire surface. The tabs 25, 26 are glued to the high long side wall 9 and the tabs 27, 28 are glued to the short side walls 23, 24 over their entire surface. The tabs 29, 30 are glued to the short side walls 23, 24 over their entire surface.

In the case of a folded collective pack, the folding took place along the short and long fold lines 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 31 at a 90° angle.

The new collective packaging according to the invention can be produced particularly cost-effectively and is easily punched out of sheet-shaped cardboard.
