Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a packaging insert for holding goods and to packaging comprising such a packaging insert. The invention further relates to a set for manufacturing a packaging insert, a set for manufacturing packaging, and a device for manufacturing a packaging insert.

[0002] Such packaging inserts are known in numerous embodiments. The known packaging inserts are typically made of plastic. Any change to the design of the packaging insert, such as a change in the arrangement, shape, or size of the containers, requires a new tool. This makes their production relatively expensive. Furthermore, the use of plastic raises sustainability concerns for these packaging inserts. A cardboard packaging insert is described in DE 20 2022 102 821 U1. This known packaging insert comprises at least one container for storing goods and / or objects, and at least one frame, wherein the frame has at least one opening for receiving the container and the container includes at least one connecting tab for securely attaching the container to the frame.Although this cardboard packaging insert already has advantages over the well-known plastic packaging inserts, it has turned out that this packaging insert has disadvantages, especially in machine production.

[0003] It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved concept for a packaging insert that enables sustainable production and / or cost-effective machine manufacturing, particularly in a wide variety of embodiments.

[0004] This problem is solved by the respective subject matter of the independent claims. Advantageous further developments and preferred embodiments are the subject matter of the dependent claims.

[0005] The invention is based on the idea of ​​providing a two-part packaging insert in which an upper part rests on a lower part of the packaging insert, wherein a receiving compartment for receiving goods is limited on the one hand by side wall sections of the lower part and on the other hand by one or more limiting flaps hinged to a lid wall of the upper part.

[0006] According to a first aspect of the invention, a packaging insert for holding goods is provided. The packaging insert comprises a lower part and a separate upper part. The lower part has a bottom wall section and two side wall sections, the two side wall sections being pivotally connected to the bottom wall section on opposite sides. The upper part rests on the lower part and has a lid. The lid has a receiving opening, in particular a first receiving opening, for inserting the goods, especially into a first receiving compartment of the packaging insert. A receiving space is formed between the two side wall sections, which has a first receiving compartment, in particular for receiving the goods, especially the goods inserted through the receiving opening.The receiving compartment is limited, in particular laterally, by the two side wall sections and by at least one first limiting tab hinged to the lid wall via at least one bending line, and, in particular in the depth direction, by the bottom wall section.

[0007] For example, the at least one first limiting flap consists of at least two first limiting flaps or exactly two first limiting flaps. In such embodiments, the receiving compartment is, for example, completely bounded laterally, in particular all around, by the two side wall sections and the at least two first limiting flaps. For example, the at least one first limiting flap consists of exactly one first limiting flap. In such embodiments, the receiving compartment is, for example, completely bounded laterally, in particular all around, by the two side wall sections, the first limiting flap, and an additional side wall section of the packaging insert, in particular the lower part.

[0008] The bottom wall section and the top wall are arranged opposite each other. For example, the bottom wall section and the top wall are each flat or substantially flat wall sections. The bottom wall section and the top wall are arranged parallel to each other or approximately parallel to each other, and in particular spaced apart from each other.

[0009] The two side wall sections are arranged opposite each other. For example, the two side wall sections are each flat or substantially flat wall sections. The two side wall sections are arranged parallel to each other or approximately parallel to each other, and in particular spaced apart from each other, with the bottom wall section being arranged between the two side wall sections.

[0010] The bottom wall section can, for example, form an angle with the two side wall sections in the range of 60°-120° or in the range of 80°-100° or an angle of 90° or approximately 90°.

[0011] The receiving opening is fully or partially aligned with the receiving compartment, in particular with a corresponding opening in the receiving compartment on its upper side. Accordingly, goods introduced through the receiving opening can be received by the receiving compartment.

[0012] The receiving compartment is bounded on one underside, in particular by the bottom wall section. On the top side opposite the underside, the receiving compartment may be open, for example, with the receiving opening being perfectly aligned with the corresponding opening of the receiving compartment on the top side, for example, completely aligned. Alternatively, the receiving opening may be partially aligned with the corresponding opening of the receiving compartment on the top side, so that the receiving compartment is, for example, partially bounded on the top side by the lid wall.

[0013] Each first limiting tab of the at least one first limiting tab is connected to the cover wall, for example, on a corresponding side of the receiving opening by means of the respective bending line, in particular by a hinge connection. If the at least one first limiting tab consists of exactly two first limiting tabs, these are connected to the cover wall, in particular, on opposite sides of the receiving opening.

[0014] Bending lines can be understood here and in the following as straight bending lines, unless otherwise stated.

[0015] The recording space is defined or limited in particular by the two side wall sections and the floor wall section.

[0016] The first receiving compartment is part of the receiving space. In some embodiments, the receiving space may have one or more additional receiving compartments besides the first one. In particular, the receiving space may be divided into two or more receiving compartments, including the first one. For example, each of the two or more receiving compartments may be bounded on the one hand by the two side wall sections and on the other hand by at least one limiting tab hinged to the cover wall via at least one corresponding bending line.

[0017] Alternatively or additionally, the packaging insert can have one or more further receiving compartments besides the receiving compartment. The above and following statements and explanations apply analogously to each of the further receiving compartments. In particular, each of the further receiving compartments is formed by two corresponding additional side wall sections.

[0018] The fact that the upper part and the lower part are designed separately from each other does not, in particular, preclude the possibility that the upper part and the lower part are connected to each other, for example by a form-fit connection and / or a force-fit connection and / or a material-fit connection.

[0019] The fact that the upper part rests on the lower part can be realized, for example, by the upper part resting on the side wall sections, in particular the side edges of the side wall sections, and / or resting on bearing surface sections of the lower part, in particular lying flat.

[0020] The packaging insert according to the invention makes it possible to transport and protect goods in the receiving compartment, optionally separately from goods in one or more other receiving compartments, without having to use additional separating elements such as plastic partitions. Advantageously, the packaging insert can therefore be manufactured sustainably and cost-effectively by machine, and this also in a wide variety of embodiments. This is not only more cost-effective, but also more environmentally friendly, since fewer materials are required.

[0021] The use of a two-part packaging insert with the bottom and top parts as described further simplifies the machine production of the packaging insert, as the folding operations that may be required are less complex and time-consuming than, for example, with a comparable one-part packaging insert.

[0022] According to at least one embodiment, the circumference of the receiving opening is polygonal, in particular rectangular, square, circular, semicircular, oval or corresponding to a combination of at least two of these shapes.

[0023] The perimeter of the opening of the receiving compartment, which is wholly or partially coincident with the receiving opening, can, for example, have the same shape as the perimeter of the receiving opening. The contour of a cross-section through the receiving compartment, particularly in a cross-sectional plane parallel to the bottom wall section, can, for example, have the same shape as the perimeter of the receiving opening and / or as the perimeter of the opening of the receiving compartment.

[0024] According to at least one embodiment, the at least one first limiting tab is connected to the cover wall on one side of the receiving opening.

[0025] According to at least one embodiment, the at least one first limiting tab has two first limiting tabs hinged to opposite sides of the receiving opening via at least one bending line each, or the at least one first limiting tab consists of the two first limiting tabs hinged to opposite sides of the receiving opening via at least one bending line each.

[0026] In other words, the packaging insert is designed to have two limiting flaps, which are attached to opposite sides of the receiving opening.

[0027] Accordingly, the receiving compartment can be limited exclusively by the two side walls and the two first limiting tabs, especially if the contour of the cross-section of the receiving compartment is square or rectangular.

[0028] This eliminates the need for separate partitions, especially those made of plastic, as the first two limiting tabs in combination with the two side walls enable reliable separation of the receiving compartment.

[0029] According to at least one embodiment, the lower part is formed in one piece and / or the upper part is formed in one piece.

[0030] In particular, the one-piece lower part does not consist of several joined components, such as glued, pressed, or clamped components, or the like. The one-piece lower part can, for example, consist of a single initial blank, such as one made of paper or cardboard. Specifically, the two side wall sections and the bottom wall section consist of a single, for example, folded, piece.

[0031] In particular, the one-piece top part does not consist of several joined components, such as glued, pressed, or clamped components, or the like. The one-piece top part can therefore consist, for example, of a single second blank, such as paper or cardboard. Specifically, the lid wall and the at least one retaining flap consist of a single, for example, folded, part.

[0032] Such designs enable more efficient and cost-effective manufacturing of the upper and / or lower parts, as fewer individual components need to be produced and assembled. Furthermore, the risk of assembly errors is reduced and / or difficulties regarding the fit between different parts can be avoided, which in turn increases the quality and reliability of the packaging insert.

[0033] According to at least one embodiment, the bottom wall section is free of locking openings and / or the two side wall sections are free of locking openings and / or the at least one first limiting tab does not have a locking tab, in particular no locking tab for locking with the lower part, in particular the bottom wall section or the side wall sections.

[0034] In other words, the two side wall sections are not attached to the base by a locking mechanism. This simplifies the manufacturing of the base, as steps such as punching out the locking holes or similar are no longer necessary. Furthermore, the shape of the limiting tabs can also be simpler.

[0035] According to at least one embodiment, the at least one first limiting tab has a locking tab which engages in a corresponding locking opening in the bottom wall section, in particular to fix the locking tab and thus the limiting tab with respect to the bottom wall section.

[0036] This facilitates a consistently stable positioning of the limiting tab.

[0037] The locking tab is located, in particular, on one side of the limiting tab opposite the respective bending line.

[0038] According to at least one embodiment, a first limiting tab of the at least one first limiting tab is connected to the lid wall on a first side of the first limiting tab, in particular via the corresponding bending line, and has a bearing surface on a second side of the first limiting tab opposite the first side, which rests on the bottom wall section, in particular lies flat.

[0039] This applies, for example, analogously to all first limiting tabs of the at least one first limiting tab. In other words, each of the at least one first limiting tab is connected to the cover wall on a first side of the respective first limiting tab, in particular via the corresponding bending line, and has a bearing surface on a second side of the respective first limiting tab opposite the first side, which rests on the bottom wall section, in particular lies flat against it.

[0040] This allows a defined positioning of the at least one first limiting tab to be achieved, especially without locking the at least first limiting tab to the lower part.

[0041] The contact surface can, for example, be connected to the remaining part of the respective first limiting tab via a further bending line. However, such a bending line is not mandatory and is not provided in some embodiments. The contact surface, and thus in particular also the base surface section, can, for example, form an angle in the range of 60°–120° or in the range of 80°–100° with the remaining part of the respective first limiting tab, for example an angle of 90° or approximately 90°.

[0042] The bottom wall section can, for example, enclose an angle in the range of 60°-120° or in the range of 80°-100° or an angle of 90° or approximately 90° with the remaining part of the respective first limiting tab.

[0043] According to at least one embodiment, the bearing surface parallel to the bending line via which the first limiting tab is hinged to the lid wall has an excess with respect to a corresponding width of the first receiving compartment.

[0044] In other words, the mounting surface is wider than the first receiving compartment. The corresponding width of the first receiving compartment can be determined, for example, by the distance between the two side wall sections. This excess width can be in the range of a few tenths of a millimeter or a few millimeters.

[0045] Accordingly, the contact surface is pressed laterally inwards by the two side wall sections and / or partially bent inwards. This allows the position of the first limiting tabs to be reliably defined and fixed without the need for a locking mechanism.

[0046] The excess material can be provided on one or both sides. In particular, the excess material can form one or two clamping lugs, by means of which the first limiting tab is clamped and thus fixed between the two side wall sections.

[0047] According to at least one embodiment, the two side wall sections are each connected to the bottom wall section via respective bending lines, in particular by hinges.

[0048] This simplifies the production of the lower part.

[0049] According to at least one embodiment, the two side wall sections are each connected to the bottom wall section via a combined bending and cutting line, in particular by a hinge connection.

[0050] A combined bend and cut line, for example, has a sequence of several bend line segments and cuts, with at least one cut always occurring between any two bend line segments. The cuts can partially or completely penetrate the material of the bend line segments and the combined bend line segment.

[0051] This allows for the simple creation of a particularly flexible yet stable articulated connection.

[0052] According to at least one embodiment, the bottom wall section and / or the two side wall sections and / or the lid wall are made of paper or cardboard. For example, the bottom part and / or the top part are made of paper or cardboard.

[0053] Accordingly, the lower part and / or the upper part can be made from environmentally friendly materials, so that the use of separate separating elements, especially made of plastic, can be avoided.

[0054] According to at least one embodiment, the bottom wall section and / or the two side wall sections and / or the lid wall are coated at least partially on one side or at least partially on both sides. For example, the bottom part and / or the top part are coated at least partially on one side or at least partially on both sides.

[0055] The coating improves the durability and versatility of the packaging insert, especially when combined with paper or cardboard, while simultaneously reducing packaging waste.

[0056] The coating can, for example, contribute to the hygienic and durable packaging of food within the packaging liner. Water- and / or grease-repellent coatings are also possible.

[0057] According to at least one embodiment, the receiving space has a second receiving compartment, which is bounded by the two side wall sections and by at least one second limiting tab hinged to the lid wall via at least one bending line.

[0058] In particular, the lid wall has a second opening for inserting goods. This second compartment is specifically designed to receive goods through the second opening.

[0059] This allows multiple compartments to be advantageously formed or delimited, at least partially, by the same two side wall sections and corresponding limiting flaps. Consequently, several items can be packaged and transported separately without the need for additional dividers.

[0060] For example, the receiving space has at least one second receiving compartment, each of which is bounded by the two side wall sections and by at least one second limiting tab hinged to the lid wall via at least one bending line.

[0061] The above and following statements and explanations regarding the first receiving compartment, the receiving opening and the at least one first limiting flap can be applied analogously to the second receiving compartment, the second receiving opening and the at least one second limiting flap.

[0062] According to at least one embodiment, the length of the second receiving compartment along one direction of the two side wall sections differs from the length of the first receiving compartment along the same direction. Alternatively or additionally, the depth of the second receiving compartment from the top wall to the bottom wall section differs from the depth of the first receiving compartment from the top wall to the bottom wall section.

[0063] In other words, the two receiving compartments have different lengths and / or depths, meaning, in particular, different dimensions in at least one direction perpendicular to the direction of extension of the side wall sections. In other words, the width of the two receiving compartments is determined by the distance between the side wall sections, whereas the length and / or depth of the two receiving compartments differs.

[0064] This can, if necessary, be applied analogously to further second admission subjects of at least one second admission subject.

[0065] This makes it advantageous to provide different dimensions for different goods to be contained in the same packaging insert.

[0066] According to at least one embodiment, the lower part has a support wall section which is pivotally connected to a first side wall section of the two side wall sections, and on which the upper part, in particular the lid wall, rests.

[0067] This allows for a more stable contact between the upper part and the lower part, which, among other things, increases the dimensional stability of the packaging insert.

[0068] According to at least one embodiment, the lower part has a further support wall section which is pivotally connected to a second side wall section of the two side wall sections, and on which the upper part, in particular the lid wall, rests.

[0069] According to at least one embodiment, the lower part has a further bottom wall section, as well as two further side wall sections, which are hingedly connected to the further bottom wall section on opposite sides. One of the two further side wall sections is hingedly connected to the support wall section.

[0070] For example, the next support wall section is followed by the first side wall section, then the bottom wall section, then the second side wall section, then the support wall section, then a first further side wall section of the two further side wall sections, then the further bottom wall section, then a second further side wall section of the two further side wall sections.

[0071] This creates additional space for storing goods. In some embodiments, this sequence can be repeated a further time or several times.

[0072] According to at least one embodiment, a further receiving space is formed between the two further side wall sections, which has a further receiving compartment that is bounded by the further bottom wall section, the two further side wall sections and by at least one further limiting tab hinged to the lid wall via at least one bending line.

[0073] In particular, the lid wall has an additional opening for inserting goods. This additional compartment serves specifically to receive the goods through the further opening.

[0074] This allows additional goods to be packaged and transported separately, without the need for additional separating elements.

[0075] The above and following statements and explanations regarding the bottom wall section, the receiving opening, the at least one first limiting tab, the side wall sections, the receiving space and the first receiving compartment can be applied analogously to the further bottom wall section, the further receiving opening, the at least one further limiting tab, the further side wall sections, the further receiving space and the further receiving compartment.

[0076] According to at least one embodiment, the length of the additional receiving compartment along one direction of the two additional side wall sections differs from the length of the first receiving compartment along the direction of the two side wall sections. Alternatively or additionally, the depth of the additional receiving compartment from the lid wall to the additional bottom wall section differs from the depth of the first receiving compartment from the lid wall to the bottom wall section.

[0077] In other words, the first receiving compartment and the subsequent receiving compartment have different lengths and / or depths, i.e., in particular, different extensions in at least one direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the respective side wall sections.

[0078] This makes it advantageous to provide different dimensions for different goods to be contained in the same packaging insert.

[0079] According to at least one embodiment, the bottom wall section and the further bottom wall section are arranged in different intersecting planes.

[0080] The bottom wall section and the subsequent bottom wall section are therefore not parallel to each other. In other words, the recording space and the subsequent recording space are tilted relative to each other. Specifically, the side wall sections are parallel to each other, and the subsequent side wall sections are also parallel to each other, but the side wall sections are not parallel to the subsequent side wall sections.

[0081] This allows for a more flexible design of the packaging insert.

[0082] In particular, the described arrangement of the bottom wall section with respect to the further bottom wall section, or of the receiving space with respect to the further receiving space, and so on, can be achieved by not providing any further floor layer below the bottom wall section and the further bottom wall section, i.e., on a side of the receiving space and the further receiving space or the lower part opposite the top wall, which connects the bottom wall section to the further bottom wall section. In other words, for example, the bottom wall section is connected to the further bottom wall section only via the side wall section, which is hingedly connected to the support wall section, the support wall section, and the further side wall section, which is hingedly connected to the support wall section.

[0083] According to at least one embodiment, the upper part, in particular the lid wall, is bonded, in particular glued, to the lower part, in particular the support wall section and / or the further support wall section.

[0084] This makes it easy to produce a particularly stable packaging liner.

[0085] According to a second aspect of the invention, packaging is provided. The packaging comprises a packaging insert according to the invention, as well as a cover which at least partially encloses and / or receives the packaging insert.

[0086] The casing can be made of paper and / or cardboard, for example. The casing can also be made of a single piece.

[0087] According to at least one embodiment, the casing has a further cover wall, which in particular rests on the upper part and which has a further receiving opening that is wholly or partially in line with the receiving opening.

[0088] However, the further receiving opening of the cover can also be completely or partially closed by a closure flap that can be opened by a user, or the like.

[0089] According to a third aspect of the invention, a set for manufacturing a packaging insert for holding goods, in particular a packaging insert according to the invention, is provided. The set comprises a first blank for manufacturing a lower part of the packaging insert, which has a bottom wall section and two side wall sections, each connected to the bottom wall section on opposite sides. The set comprises a second blank for manufacturing an upper part of the packaging insert, which is formed separately from the lower part. The second blank is designed, in particular, to be placed on the lower part, especially the folded lower part. The second blank has a cover wall which has a receiving opening for holding the goods. The cover wall has at least one first limiting flap hinged to the cover wall via at least one bending line.In a state of the blanks in which the first blank and the second blank are each folded, a receiving space is formed between the two side wall sections, which has a first receiving compartment that is bounded by the two side wall sections and by the at least one first limiting flap.

[0090] The connection between the bottom wall section and the two side wall sections can be hinged, for example, by means of a bend line or a combined bend and cut line. Alternatively, the bend line or combined bend and cut line can also be created during the manufacturing of the packaging insert based on the set, for example, by a creasing process.

[0091] Folding the first blank includes, in particular, folding the two side wall sections relative to the bottom wall section. Folding the second blank includes, in particular, folding the at least one limiting flap relative to the lid wall.

[0092] Further embodiments of the inventive set for producing a packaging insert follow directly from the various configurations of the inventive packaging insert and vice versa. In particular, individual features and corresponding explanations as well as advantages relating to the various configurations of the inventive packaging insert can be transferred analogously to corresponding configurations of the inventive set for producing a packaging insert.

[0093] According to a fourth aspect of the invention, a set for manufacturing packaging, in particular packaging according to the invention, is provided. The set for manufacturing packaging comprises a set according to the invention for manufacturing a packaging insert, as well as a third blank for manufacturing a cover for at least partially enclosing and / or receiving the packaging insert.

[0094] Further embodiments of the inventive set for manufacturing packaging follow directly from the various configurations of the inventive packaging liner and the inventive packaging, and vice versa. In particular, individual features and corresponding explanations as well as advantages relating to the various embodiments of the inventive packaging liner and the inventive packaging can be transferred analogously to corresponding embodiments of the inventive set for manufacturing packaging.

[0095] According to a fifth aspect of the invention, a device for producing a packaging insert according to the invention is specified, starting from a set according to the invention for producing a packaging insert. The device has a folding stage, in particular comprising one or more folding stations, for folding the first blank. The folding stage is configured to obtain the first blank and to fold the two side wall sections with respect to the bottom wall section, in particular according to the hinged connection. The device has a combination station, which is configured to obtain the folded first blank and the second blank and to place the second blank onto the folded first blank, in particular onto the bottom part, in particular such that the receiving opening of the top wall is wholly or partially in alignment with the receiving compartment, in particular with the upper opening of the receiving compartment.The device, in particular at least one further station of the device, has at least one finger and the device has a control system which is configured to actuate the at least one finger to press the at least one first limiting tab, in particular along the respective bending line, into the receiving space, in particular so that the receiving compartment is limited by the at least one first limiting tab, in particular after the second blank has been placed on the folded first blank.

[0096] The control system can, for example, be configured to control the folding stage for folding the first blank and / or to control the combination station for placing the second blank onto the folded first blank. The control system can also, for example, be configured to control other components of the device and / or the aforementioned components for further tasks or steps.

[0097] The control system may include a data processing system. The terms "data processing system" and "at least one data processing device" may be used interchangeably within the scope of this disclosure. In this disclosure, a data processing device may, for example, be understood as a device with processing circuits for processing data. A data processing device can thus perform arithmetic operations to process data.

[0098] A data processing device may, in particular, comprise one or more computers, one or more microcontrollers, and / or one or more integrated circuits. The data processing device may also comprise a physical or virtual cluster of computers or other devices of the aforementioned type.

[0099] A data processing device can also include one or more hardware and / or software interfaces, for example, for receiving and / or providing data. A data processing device can also include one or more storage devices.

[0100] The device can be designed as an inline manufacturing system, so that in particular the folding stage, the combination station and a part of the device containing at least one finger, and optionally further components of the device are arranged in close proximity to each other and can, for example, transfer the workpieces to be processed to each other.

[0101] Alternatively, the device can be designed modularly, allowing individual components to be spatially separated. For example, the folding step can be spatially separated from the combination station and from the part of the device containing the at least one finger.

[0102] This can be advantageous, for example, if the folding of the first blank is to take place at a different location than the subsequent steps for manufacturing the packaging insert. In such cases, the folded first blank can be flattened, transported to the combination station, and then combined with the second blank as described, and so on. This reduces the space required for transporting the folded first blank.

[0103] According to at least one embodiment, the device has a first magazine for the first blank, from which the folding stage can obtain the first blank, and / or a second magazine for the second blank, from which the combination station can obtain the second blank.

[0104] According to at least one embodiment, the device has a transport system that may contain one or more transport devices. The transport system may, for example, be controlled by the control system.

[0105] A transport device can, for example, include one or more grippers, handling robots, conveyor belts, and so on.

[0106] The control system can be configured, in particular, to control the transport system, to transfer the first blank from the first magazine to the folding station, and / or to transfer the second blank from the second magazine to the combining station. The control system can also be configured, in particular, to control the transport system, to transfer the first blank within the folding station between different folding stations and / or from the folding station to the combining station. Furthermore, the control system can be configured, in particular, to control the transport system, to perform all further transport or transfer steps of the unprocessed, partially processed, or fully processed first blank and / or the unprocessed, partially processed, or fully processed second blank and / or any combination thereof.

[0107] According to at least one embodiment, the folding stage has a folding station which, controlled by the control system, exerts a force from an underside of the first blank onto the support wall section in order to carry out the folding of the first blank.

[0108] This causes both the support wall section and the bottom wall section to fold relative to the side wall sections. In particular, it is possible that the bottom wall section is fixed in place during this process.

[0109] Alternatively or additionally, the folding station, controlled by the control system, can exert a force from the top of the first cut onto the bottom wall section to carry out the folding of the first cut.

[0110] According to at least one embodiment, the control system is configured to actuate the at least one finger to push the at least one first limiting tab perpendicular to an insertion direction to an outer edge of the first receiving compartment after the at least one first limiting tab has been pressed, in order to limit the first receiving compartment, in particular by means of the at least one first limiting tab.

[0111] According to at least one embodiment, the device has a grooving unit, wherein the control system is configured to control the grooving unit to generate a bending line or a combined sequence of bending and cutting lines between the respective side wall section and the bottom wall section before folding the two side wall sections with respect to the bottom wall section, in particular by means of a grooving process, especially to create the hinged connection.

[0112] According to at least one embodiment, the device has an adhesive station configured to apply an adhesive, in particular a glue, to the support wall section of the first blank, which is in particular folded and pivotally connected to one of the two side wall sections. The combination station is configured, in particular controlled by the control system, to place the second blank, in particular after the adhesive has been applied, onto the folded first blank in such a way that part of the cover wall rests on the support wall section.

[0113] The gluing station may have one or more glue heads for applying the adhesive.

[0114] Further embodiments of the device according to the invention follow directly from the various configurations of the packaging insert, the packaging, and the sets according to the invention, and vice versa. In particular, individual features and corresponding explanations as well as advantages relating to the various embodiments of the packaging insert, the packaging, and the sets according to the invention can be transferred analogously to corresponding embodiments of the device according to the invention.

[0115] Further features of the invention are evident from the claims, the figures, and the description of the figures.

In particular, embodiments and combinations of features that do not include all the features of an originally formulated claim may also be encompassed by the invention. Furthermore, embodiments and combinations of features that go beyond or deviate from the combinations of features mentioned in the claims may also include the invention.

[0116] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to specific exemplary embodiments and corresponding schematic drawings. Identical or functionally equivalent elements in the drawings may be provided with the same reference numerals. The description of identical or functionally equivalent elements is not necessarily repeated with respect to the different figures.

[0118] In Fig. Figure 1 is an exemplary embodiment of a packaging insert 1 according to the invention for holding goods, shown schematically in a top view, i.e., parallel to the xy-plane. Fig. Figure 2 shows a corresponding side view, i.e., parallel to the xz-plane.

[0119] The packaging insert 1 has a lower part 2, which comprises a bottom wall section 4 and two side wall sections 5, 6, which are hinged to the bottom wall section 4 on opposite sides. The packaging insert 1 has a top part 3, separate from the lower part 2, which rests on the lower part 2 and has a lid 7 with a receiving opening 17 for inserting the goods. A receiving space is formed between the two side wall sections 5, 6, which has a first receiving compartment 12. This compartment is bounded by the two side wall sections 5, 6 and by at least one, in particular two, first limiting flaps 9, 11, each hinged to the lid 7 via at least one bending line 8, 10.

[0120] In particular, the respective bending line 8, 10, via which the at least one first limiting tab 9, 11 is hinged to the cover wall 7, limits an extension of the receiving opening 17 in a direction of extension of the respective bending line 8, 10.

[0121] For example, both the lower part 2 and the upper part 3 are each made from a single piece and glued together. The lower part 2 and the upper part 3 can each be made of paper or cardboard, for example.

[0122] The two side wall sections 5, 6 and the bottom wall section 4 together form the receiving space, which corresponds, for example, to a channel, in particular a U-shaped channel open upwards towards the cover wall 7. Along the length of the channel, this space is interrupted by the first limiting tabs 9, 11, thus forming the first receiving compartment 12. Similarly, one or more second receiving compartments 12 can be formed in the same channel, each of which is bounded by the two side wall sections 5, 6 and by at least one, in particular two, second limiting tabs 9, 11, each hinged to the cover wall 7 via at least one bending line.

[0123] Alternatively or additionally, the lower part 2 can have one or more further receiving spaces, in particular further channels, the longitudinal direction of which is in particular parallel to the longitudinal direction of the receiving space. In other words, the further channels and the channel all run parallel to each other. The further receiving spaces are formed in particular by respective pairs of opposing further side wall sections 5, 6. In each of the further receiving spaces, further receiving compartments 12 can be formed, for example in an analogous manner as described for the receiving compartment 12, in particular limited by the respective further side wall sections 5, 6 and corresponding further limiting tabs 9, 11 hinged to the cover wall 7.

[0124] In the Fig. 1 and Fig. In the example shown, the lower part 2 has, in particular, a support wall section 13 which is hingedly connected to one of the two side wall sections 5, 6. The upper part 3 rests on the support wall section 13; in particular, the cover wall 7 is glued to the support wall section 13. For example, between each of the receiving compartments there are two side wall sections 5, 6 and a support wall section 13, which is arranged between the two side wall sections 5, 6. The upper part 3 rests, for example, on all support wall sections 13, and in particular, the cover wall 7 is glued to all or several of the support wall sections 13.

[0125] In the example of the Fig. 1 and the Fig. 2. All side wall sections 5, 6 of all recording rooms are parallel to each other, extending in particular along the y-direction, with their surfaces lying in the yz-plane. Likewise, the floor wall sections 4 of all recording rooms are parallel to each other. The surfaces of the floor wall sections 4 lie in particular in the xy-plane. However, both of these are not necessarily the case, as schematically shown in Fig. Figure 3 shows a lower part 2 of an alternative embodiment. Here, the receiving spaces, in particular the side wall sections 5 and 6 of different receiving spaces, are tilted relative to each other in the xz-plane shown. This also applies accordingly to the bottom wall sections 4 of different receiving spaces. Thus, a curved or otherwise adapted shape of the entire packaging insert 1 can be achieved.

[0126] In Fig. Figure 4 schematically shows another example of a lower part of a packaging insert 1 according to the invention in a further embodiment. Here too, the bottom wall sections 4 of adjacent receiving spaces, as well as the side wall sections 5, 6 of adjacent receiving spaces, are not parallel to each other. In the example of the Fig. The side wall sections 5 and 6 of adjacent receiving spaces are particularly perpendicular to each other, as are the bottom wall sections 4 of adjacent receiving spaces. This in turn allows for the realization of other forms of the packaging insert 1.

[0127] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 1, the widths of the individual recording compartments 12 of a recording room, i.e., their extension in the x-direction, are all the same, since they are defined by the distance between the respective side wall sections 5, 6. The lengths of the individual recording compartments 12 of a recording room, i.e., their extension in the y-direction, can differ, as also shown in Figure 1. Fig. Figure 1 shows the dimensions. The lengths and / or widths of the recording compartments may vary depending on the recording room.

[0128] In the examples of Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. The depths of the individual recording compartments of 12 different recording rooms are the same, i.e., their extension from the top wall 7 to the respective bottom wall section 4. However, this is also not necessarily the case, as shown in Fig. 4 can be seen.

[0129] An exemplary embodiment of a set according to the invention for producing a packaging insert 1, in particular a packaging insert 1 according to the invention, for example a packaging insert 1 as described with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 described is schematically in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 shown. This shows Fig. 5 a first cut 14 of the set for the production of a lower part 2 of the packaging insert 1 and Fig. 6 a second cut 20 of the set to make a top 3 of the packaging insert 1.

[0130] The first blank 14 has a bottom wall section 4 and two side wall sections 5, 6, which are connected to the bottom wall section 4 on opposite sides. The second blank 20 has a top wall 7, which has a receiving opening 17 for receiving the goods. The top wall 7 has at least one first limiting flap 9, 11 hinged to the top wall 7 via at least one bending line 8, 10. In a state in which the first blank 14 and the second blank 20 are each folded, a receiving space is formed, which has a first receiving compartment 12 that is bounded by the two side wall sections 5, 6 and by the at least one first limiting flap 9, 11.

[0131] In particular, the first cut 14 has two first limiting tabs 9, 11 for limiting the first receiving compartment 12, as well as two limiting tabs 9, 11 each for each further receiving compartment 12 that is formed in the receiving space between the two side wall sections 5, 6 or in further receiving spaces between further pairs of side wall sections 5, 6, as with respect to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 described.

[0132] The side wall sections 5, 6 can be hinged to the bottom wall section 4, for example, by a bending line or a combined bending and cutting line 15, 16. Alternatively, the bending lines or combined bending and cutting lines 15, 16 can be created only during the manufacture of the lower part 2.

[0133] In the example of the Fig. The lid wall 7 has two limiting tabs 9, 11 for each receiving opening 17 or for each receiving compartment. On a first side of each limiting tab 9, 11, it is connected to the lid wall 7 at the respective receiving opening 17 via a corresponding bending line 8, 10. The limiting tabs 9, 11 have a second side opposite their respective first side, a bearing surface 18, 19, which rests on the bottom wall section 4 in the finished packaging insert. For example, the bearing surfaces 18, 19 have an oversize in the direction parallel to the respective bending line 8, 10 with respect to the corresponding width of the respective receiving compartment 12. Accordingly, the bearing surfaces 18, 19 are pressed inwards by the side wall sections 5, 6 and thus fixed in place without the need for locking tabs and associated locking openings.

[0134] The limiting tabs 9, 11 can be designed differently in various embodiments, in particular with regard to their attachment or positioning in relation to the bottom wall section 4 and / or the side wall sections 5, 6. Some examples are shown in the figures. Fig. 7, Fig. 8 and Fig. Figure 9 illustrates that on the left in illustration a) a receiving compartment 12, the bottom wall section 4 and two opposing limiting tabs 9, 11 in the yz plane are shown, and on the right in illustration b) and, if applicable, c) a limiting tab 9 in the xz plane.

[0135] In the example of the Fig. 7. The limiting tabs 9, 11 do not have bearing surfaces 18, 19, as in Fig. Figure 6 shows the following. The limiting tabs 9 and 11, in particular, rest bluntly against the bottom wall section 4. In the example of the Fig. 7. The limiting tabs 9, 11 have the bearing surfaces 18, 19, whereby in illustration b) no excess is provided, but in illustration c) it is. In the example of the Fig. In contrast, the bearing surfaces 18, 19 are also not provided. In this embodiment, the limiting tabs 9, 11 have respective locking tabs 41, 43 at the ends opposite the bending lines 8, 10, which engage in a respective corresponding locking opening 42, 44 in the bottom wall section 4.

[0136] Fig. Figure 10 shows a schematic representation of an exemplary embodiment of a device 37 according to the invention for producing a packaging insert 1 according to the invention. The device 37 has a folding stage 21 for folding the first blank 14. The folding stage 21 is configured to obtain the first blank 14, for example from a magazine 33 of the device 37, and to fold the two side wall sections 5, 6 with respect to the bottom wall section 4. The device 37 can, for example, have a transport or transfer station 34 with which the first blank 14 can be transferred from the magazine 33 to the folding stage 21.

[0137] Folding stage 21 has at least one folding station 22, 23, 24, for example several folding stations 22, 23, 24, in the example of the Fig. 10 three folding stations 22, 23, 24. If several folding stations 22, 23, 24 are provided, the different folding stations 22, 23, 24 can each perform the folding of a part of the side wall sections 5, 6 with respect to the bottom wall sections 4.

[0138] In Fig. Figure 11 schematically shows a side view of part of one of the folding stations 22, 23, 24. The folding station 22, 23, 24, for example, has a block 39 from which a plurality of rectangular projections 38 extend upwards in the z-direction. The number of projections corresponds to the number of pairs of side wall sections 5, 6 that are to be folded with respect to the bottom wall sections 4 by the corresponding folding station 22, 23, 24.

[0139] The projections 38 are pressed against the first blank 14 in the area of ​​the bearing surface sections 13, so that the side wall sections 5, 6 are folded along the combined bending and cutting lines 15, 16. The first blank 14, in particular the bottom wall sections 4, can be fixed by one or more corresponding counter-components (not shown) or otherwise.

[0140] The device 37 has a combination station 25 configured to receive the folded first blank 14 and the second blank 20, in particular from a magazine 35, and to place the second blank 20 onto the folded first blank 14. The device 37 has at least one finger 26, 27, 28, 29, and a control system (not shown) configured to actuate the at least one finger 26, 27, 28, 29 to press the at least one first limiting tab 9, 11 into the receiving space.

[0141] In particular, the control system is configured to actuate at least one finger 26, 27, 28, 29, to push the at least one first limiting tab 9, 11 perpendicular to an indentation direction to an outer edge of the first receiving compartment 12 after the at least one first limiting tab 9, 11 has been pressed, in order to limit the first receiving compartment 12. As shown schematically in Fig. As shown in Figure 10, fingers 26, 27, 28, 29, for example, can be divided in pairs across two or more stations 30, 31, 32.

[0142] The device 37 can, for example, have an adhesive station 40, in particular between the folding stage 21 and the combination station 25. The adhesive station 40 is configured to apply an adhesive or glue to the support wall sections 13 of the first blank 14. By placing the second blank 20 onto the folded first blank 14 using the combination station 25, the upper part 3 is glued to the lower part 2.

[0143] The device 37 can also have a conveyor belt 36 that can take over the completed packaging insert 1 and transport it, for example, to fill the receiving compartments 12.
