ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a folding box for goods such as glasses, bottles, jars or similar products, in particular for cosmetics articles, having a rectangular pack casing, having a lid part which is connected to the border side of said pack casing and is provided with an insertion flap which engages in the pack casing, and having an inner base offset to the inside of the box.
EP 0 699 588 A1 discloses a folding pack for goods such as glasses, bottles, jars or similar products which has a rectangular pack casing, a lid part which is connected to the border side of said pack casing and is provided with an insertion flap which engages in the pack casing, and a base part likewise provided with an insertion flap.
Connected to the two walls of the pack casing which are adjacent to the base part and/or the lid part within each case one deformable flap which has three folding lines which run parallel to the connection border on the pack casing and subdivide the deformable flap into four individual sections, the outer section being adhesively bonded to the inside of the pack casing.
This forms two carriers for accommodating the product which is to be protected in the pack, and of which the position is further strengthened by the provision of cutouts in the carriers which are adapted to the shape of the product. In the embodiment selected here, the base of the folding pack always terminates flush with the surface on which the folding pack stands. Arranging the base to be offset in the direction of the interior of the folding pack is not proposed, nor moreover, on account of the arrangement of the flaps, is it possible.
The disadvantage with the folding pack is, on the one hand, that the product located within the pack is not sufficiently protected and, on the other hand, that the stability of the base is not increased, precisely as is customary in the packaging sector.
EP 0 642 977 A1 discloses a similar box, which has at least one retaining and protective element for a glass. The box is formed by four successive main walls. Provided both in the lid region and in the base region are two conventional closure walls which can close the box in the known manner.
Articulated, furthermore, in the lid region are two dust flaps which, before the top closure wall is inserted into the pack body, are swung in and thus make it difficult for dirt and dust to penetrate.
Essential to the invention are two flaps which are provided in the base region and are divided up into a multiplicity of continuous individual sections. Folding said flaps produces within the box, a double-layered two-part carrier which is made up of the individual sections and is helpful for fixing the product and for displaying the same. Provided in the two carrier halves are cutaway portions, of which the shape and size are adapted to the product which is to be accommodated.
The object of the invention is to provide a reclosable cuboidal folding box which provides an inner base, which can be stacked and which provides sufficient protection to the product located within the folding box, which has a high level of stability with the smallest possible amount of material being used, which can be produced cost-effectively using the smallest possible amount of material, which can be easily and quickly erected, filled and closed with the aid of machines, and of which the folding blank is in a single piece.
This object on which the invention is based is achieved by the teaching of the main claim. Advantageous configurations are explained here in the subclaims. The invention also covers a punched blank of the folding box according to the invention.
Accordingly, the invention describes a folding box for goods such as glasses, bottles, jars or similar products, in particular for cosmetics articles, having a rectangular pack casing, and having a lid part which is connected to the border side of said pack casing and is provided with an insertion flap which engages in the pack casing.
Articulated in the base region, on one of the four side walls which together form the pack casing, is a base part provided with an insertion flap which engages in the pack casing. Articulated on the insertion flap is an extension which forms an inner base and at least comprises an inner-base flap, which is articulated on the insertion flap, and an adhesive flap which is articulated on the inner-base flap. With the folding box in the completed state, the adhesive flap is adhesively bonded to the side wall which is located opposite the side wall which is in contact with the insertion flap.
In a first advantageous embodiment, provided in the inner-base flap are four parallel folding lines which divide the inner-base flap into five individual sections, the resulting central section of the inner-base flap preferably being adhesively bonded to the base part in order to increase the stability of the base part further. Two sections in the inner-base flap then form the inner base, namely, on the one hand, the section which is articulated directly on the insertion flap and, on the other hand, the section which is articulated directly on the adhesive flap of the extension.
The length of the central section of the inner base flap by which said section rests, or is adhesively bonded, on the base part determines the size of the bearing surface by which the inner base is smaller than the surface area of the base part.
It is also preferred if the inner-base flap is narrower than the base part, that is to say if the inner-base flap does not extend over the entire width of the base part. This also results in the bearing surface for the product on the inner base being reduced, but does cut back on packaging material. The lower level of stability of the inner base is acceptable, in particular, for lighter products.
In a further preferred embodiment of the folding box, connected in an articulated manner, in the base region, to the two side walls of the pack casing which are adjacent to the base part is in each case one flap, said flaps having three folding lines which run parallel to the connection border on the pack casing and subdivide the flaps, as seen from the connection border, into a first spacer crosspiece, into a supporting strip, into a second spacer crosspiece and into an adhesive flap. The adhesive flap here is adhesively bonded to the inside of the pack casing such that the supporting strip and the second spacer crosspiece are aligned essentially at right angles to one another.
The two spacer crosspieces are preferably of the same, or of at least more or less the same, width.
In a further preferred embodiment of the folding box, the flaps are cut such that, with the folding box in the completed state, the flaps extend over the central section of the inner-base flap, said central section butting against the base part. This embodiment of the folding box is useful, in particular, when a high bearing surface, that is to say a large inner base, is necessary and, at the same time, the flaps are to be provided in order to protect against dust.
This is achieved if corresponding parts of the first spacer crosspiece and, in particular, of the supporting strip are cut out, with the result that the two sections in the inner-base flap project into the resulting gaps and largely fill said gaps in the bearing surface.
In the case of the flaps, three further flaps are also preferably articulated in each case on the adhesive flap via three folding lines running parallel to the connection border on the pack casing.
This lengthens the flaps, with the result that, during the task of folding up the flaps, additional folding can take place.
In order that crumpling of the cardboard in the region of the flaps is reliably prevented as the folding box is erected and closed, all the surfaces which follow the second spacer crosspiece may be tapered on both sides. They thus do not extend over the entire width of the side wall. This results in these surfaces being easy to fold in during the production of the folding box. It preferably also results in each case in the second spacer crosspiece being adhe
