Definitions

• the invention relates to an open-topped container for receiving and providing note papers with an essentially square container base on the side edges of which approximately vertically vertical tongues are formed in one piece and which has lateral container openings for removing the inserted note papers, the lateral container openings being provided between the tongues .
• Such sticky note containers are practical advertising media and widely used as promotional gifts.
• Such a container is shown in DE-GM 77 05 684, in which the sticky notes can be gripped and removed through side openings.
• An object of the invention is to provide a sticky note container which is easily accessible from all sides, which has great stability and which is also visually appealing.
• This object is achieved in that the tongues are integrally formed on the container bottom approximately in the middle and with the formation of a base edge at a lateral distance from the side edges of the container bottom, the lateral container openings are arranged symmetrically on both sides of the tongues and the material thickness of the container bottom is greater than the material thickness the tongues.
• the container bottom is stronger than the tongues only in an edge region and that it has a flat recess in the region of its bottom center.
• the bottom of the container is about two to four times, preferably twice as strong as a tongue.
• the inner container bottom surface delimited by the tongues is slightly increased relative to the base edge and is provided with a rough surface, the increase being approximately 1 to 5 times the thickness of the writing paper.
• a writing instrument is required. It is therefore desirable if a writing instrument is assigned to the note holder.
• a writing instrument for example a ballpoint pen, is expediently kept ready in a writing instrument holder assigned to the sticky note container.
• DE-GM 79 15 740 shows such a sticky note container with an associated writing instrument holder.
• the sticky note container shown here does not have a very good stability, since its already very high center of gravity shifts to one side due to the one-sided load with the writing instrument becomes. Such a note container easily tips over.
• the removal option also decreases with increasing paper consumption because its removal openings taper downwards.
• a further object of the invention is therefore to provide a sticky note container which is easily accessible from all sides and at all fill levels, which has a sufficiently good stability when assigned to a writing instrument and in which the writing instrument holder can be attached using simple means of production.
• a writing instrument holder is integrally formed on the outside of one of the tongues.
• the writing instrument holder is designed in the form of a tubular quiver which is approximately perpendicular to the container bottom and is arranged in the region of the upper free end on one of the tongues, the quiver opening being at the level of the upper edge of the respective tongue.
• the writing instrument holder is formed on the tongue on the base edge of the container, the quiver opening being approximately at the height of the center of the respective tongue.
• the writing instrument holder is connected to one of the tongues by means of a clamping guide.
• Figure 1 is a side view of a sticky note container according to the invention.
• Fig. 2 is a plan view of a sticky note container according to Fig. 1;
• Figure 3 shows a sticky note container with excessive Be container bottom in side view.
• FIG. 4 shows the front view of a note holder according to FIG. 1 with a writing instrument holder
• Fig. 5 is a top view of a sticky note container according to Fig. 4;
• Fig. 6 shows a sticky note container according to Fig. 3 with a writing instrument holder.
• the container base 11 consists essentially of the container base 11, on the side edges 15 of which approximately vertical, smooth, continuous tongues 12 with approximately parallel tongue sides 34 are formed in one piece.
• the tongues 12 are offset laterally inwards to form a base edge 14 with a lateral distance 32 to the center of the container base 11.
• the tongues 12 are provided with lateral roundings 17 and are formed approximately in the middle on each of the container sides 33.
• Lateral container openings 16 are provided between the tongues 12, which pass approximately uniformly from top to bottom in their clear width. The deviations from the vertical are production-related draft angles.
• the container openings 16 are arranged essentially symmetrically between the tongues 12 delimiting them.
• the tongues 12 run approximately parallel to the side edges 15 of the bottom of the container, while the container openings 16 lie at the corners 19 of which are rounded.
• Each of the container sides 33 is thus assigned to two half container openings 16, which together are approximately as wide as a tongue 12 s.
• the material thickness 24 of the container base 11 is greater than the material thickness 25 of a tongue 12; the container base 11 is preferably approximately two to four times stronger than a tongue 12. This results in a build-up of material on the container base 11, which lowers the center of gravity of the note container 10 and thus increases its stability.
• the inner container bottom surface 18 delimited by the tongues 12 is provided with a roughened surface 20, as is shown in part in a top view in FIG. 2, which is intended to facilitate removal of the last note. Simultaneously with this roughened surface 20, an increase in the container base surface 18 is provided, which - as shown in FIG. 1 - projects beyond the base edge 14
• the container base 11 which is formed as a kind of base by the material accumulation described above, is only stronger in an edge region 26 than the tongues 12 and is provided with a flat recess 23 towards its center.
• the container base 11 is provided with an elevation 21 relative to the dividing surface 13 of the memo container 10 by means of tongue arch 22 which is pulled downwards.
• This embodiment allows particularly easy removal of the last, bottom lying note.
• a writing instrument holder 27 is shown on the outside 31 of one of the tongues 12 Formed in the form of a tubular quiver 28.
• the quiver opening 29 closes with the upper edge 30 of the respective tongue 12.
• the writing instrument holder 27 is approximately perpendicular to the container bottom 11.
• the quiver 28 can be arranged standing up on the upper edge 30 of the respective tongue 12 as well as on the base edge 14. In the latter case, the quiver opening 29 lies approximately halfway up the respective tongue 12 on which the writing instrument holder 27 is integrally formed.
• the container bottom 11 is lifted off from the installation surface 13 by means of an elevation 21 molded into the tongues 12, in order to facilitate the removal of the last note.
• the cant 21 is - as in the embodiment of FIG. 3 - achieved by tongue tabs 22 pulled down.
• one of the tongues 12 is provided with a writing instrument holder 27, as described above with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.
