Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a container for storing goods, comprising a container body, wherein the container body comprises a bottom wall and outer side walls surrounding the bottom wall to form a receiving space, wherein the receiving space is divided into at least two receiving areas and the subdivision is achieved by means of inner walls arranged in the receiving space. The invention further relates to a blank for producing a container for storing goods, in particular for producing a folding box made of cardboard, paper, or the like, wherein the blank is formed as a single piece.

[0002] A wide variety of containers and blanks for producing containers of the type mentioned above are known. For example, DE 20 305 912 U1 describes a tray-like container made of cardboard, paper, or the like, wherein the container is made from a single-piece blank and has a base area defined by bending lines with side surfaces integrally connected via the bending lines to form a receiving space for goods. Subdivisions of the receiving space are not provided for here. However, it is also known that such receiving spaces can be further subdivided using separately manufactured inserts. Such inserts are usually made of paper or cardboard. These inserts generally contribute nothing to the stability of the overall container structure. In addition, at least two separate elements are required for production. An additional lid element would also have to be manufactured separately.

[0003] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a container of the type mentioned at the outset and a blank for producing such a container, which are simple and cost-effective to produce and also ensure increased stability of the container.

[0004] The stated objects are achieved by a container having the features of claim 1 and by a blank having the features of claim 14. Advantageous embodiments of the container according to the invention and the blank according to the invention are described in the respective subclaims. Advantageous embodiments of the container are to be regarded as advantageous embodiments of the blank, and vice versa.

[0005] A first aspect of the invention relates to a container for storing goods, comprising a container body, wherein the container body comprises a bottom wall and outer side walls surrounding the bottom wall to form a receiving space. The receiving space is divided into at least two receiving areas, wherein the subdivision is achieved by means of inner walls arranged in the receiving space. According to the invention, the inner walls are double-walled, such that two inner wall elements lie against one another and the inner walls, together with the outer side walls, each surround and form a receiving area. Furthermore, the container according to the invention is produced from a one-piece blank. In other words, the invention relates to a goods container whose receiving space is divided into at least two areas. This subdivision enables more efficient and organized storage of different types of goods.The inner walls of the container are double-walled, ensuring additional strength and durability. The advantage of using a single-piece blank is that it enables cost-effective and efficient manufacturing while minimizing material waste.

[0006] In an advantageous embodiment of the container according to the invention, the container comprises at least one inner wall element having an adhesive flap hinged along a bending line. This adhesive flap serves to connect to a corresponding further inner wall element and thus to form the respective receiving areas of the container. This embodiment can achieve several advantages. Firstly, the use of inner wall elements with adhesive flaps enables cost-effective and material-saving production of the container. The inner wall elements can be connected to one another quickly and easily, which simplifies and accelerates the production process. Furthermore, the division of the receiving space into at least two areas enables flexible use of the container.Depending on requirements, the interior wall elements or the interior walls made from them can be arranged to create storage areas of different sizes and shapes. This makes the container versatile and enables optimal use of the available space.

[0007] The term "bending line" refers to all lines that allow elements of the container or blank to be bent relative to one another along a defined path, such as folding, scoring, or creasing lines, or a combination of these. A bending line can be created, for example, by scoring or grooving the container material. Grooves can be created using laser energy, for example.

[0008] In a further advantageous embodiment of the container according to the invention, the adhesive tabs are arranged on an inner side facing into the receiving area of ​​the respective inner wall element. In other words, the adhesive tabs are fastened to the inner side of the inner wall elements, with this inner side being oriented towards the receiving area. This arrangement of the adhesive tabs on the inner side of the further inner wall elements can achieve several advantages. Firstly, the fastening on the inner side ensures that the adhesive tabs cannot be damaged or bent during use of the container, which increases the stability and durability of the container overall. Secondly, this arrangement enables a space-saving design of the container, since the adhesive tabs do not protrude outwards from the container and therefore do not require any additional space.

[0009] In an advantageous embodiment of the container according to the invention, the bottom wall of the container is connected to an outer side wall via a bending line. In other words, the container bottom and the adjacent outer side wall are connected to one another in an articulated manner. This embodiment of the container according to the invention achieves technical advantages, as the container for storing goods can be manufactured simply and with reduced material consumption. For example, it is possible to form the container bottom and the outer side wall in a single step, saving time and money.

[0010] In a further advantageous embodiment of the container according to the invention, the container comprises a lid wall, wherein the lid wall is hingedly connected to an outer side wall via a bending line. In other words, the container is provided with a lid wall that is connected to an adjacent outer side wall of the container by bending at the appropriate point. Advantageously, this also makes it possible for the lid wall to be formed with the outer side wall in a single step, which in turn saves time and costs. Furthermore, the lid wall can be easily opened and closed via the bending line, which facilitates the use of the container.

[0011] Furthermore, it is possible to arrange plug-in and / or adhesive tabs on the lid wall along bending lines for a detachable or non-detachable connection of the lid wall to the container body. The plug-in and adhesive tabs can be detachably or non-detachably connected to the container body by bending along the bending lines, allowing flexible adaptation to different usage requirements. With a detachable connection, the lid can be removed and reattached as needed, which facilitates access to the contents of the container. With a non-detachable connection, on the other hand, a permanent and stable connection between the lid and the container body is guaranteed, which is particularly advantageous when storing or transporting delicate items. The non-detachable connection can only be released with considerable force.This completely destroys the closure structure, making it impossible to securely reclose the container. Furthermore, the damage to the closure structure is clearly visible, making it clear that the container has already been opened.

[0012] In a further advantageous embodiment of the container according to the invention, it is provided that plug-in and / or adhesive tabs are arranged on the bottom wall of the container via bending lines for detachably or permanently connecting the bottom wall to the container body. In other words, it is provided that plug-in and / or adhesive tabs are located on the underside of the container. These tabs are designed along defined bending lines to create a connection to the container body, which includes the possibility of a detachable or permanent connection. This arrangement of the plug-in and adhesive tabs on the bottom wall of the container results in numerous technical advantages. Firstly, the attachment of the bottom wall to the container body via tabs enables easier container production, as it can be manufactured from a single blank.This design also contributes to the stability of the container by connecting the base wall to the rest of the container, thus preventing the side walls from falling apart or becoming dented. Furthermore, the option of a detachable connection offers flexibility when disassembling and reusing the container or replacing individual components, ultimately contributing to cost savings and resource conservation. The non-detachable connection can only be released with considerable force. This destroys the entire closure structure, making it impossible to securely reclose the container. Furthermore, any damage to the closure structure is clearly visible. This makes it clear that the container has already been opened.

[0013] In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, at least one pair of inner wall elements is articulated to one another via a fold line, in particular a creasing line, scoring line, perforation line, or a combination of a bending line and a cutting line. In other words, the container is made from a one-piece blank comprising at least two inner wall elements that are connected to one another by a fold line, in particular a creasing line, scoring line, or perforation line, and can thus be folded relative to one another. This advantageously makes it possible to achieve a very stable, namely double-walled, subdivision of the container's receiving space.

[0014] In addition, the articulated connection of the inner wall elements enables the container to be easily manufactured from a simple, one-piece cut.

[0015] In further advantageous embodiments of the container according to the invention, it is provided that the container is designed in the form of a prismatic body along a longitudinal axis. In other words, the container is provided in the shape of a prism and thus has parallel side surfaces and a clearly defined longitudinal axis. This embodiment enables the container to be manufactured cost-effectively and with reduced material consumption, since prismatic bodies can be manufactured more easily than other geometries. In addition, the prismatic shape facilitates the division of the interior into at least two areas, which corresponds to the purpose of the invention and offers additional added value. By designing the container as a prismatic body, optimal use of space can be achieved, allowing more goods to be accommodated in the same volume. In addition, this shape improves the stackability of the container.The longitudinal axis serves as a reference for the interior layout, thus enabling an orderly arrangement of goods. Furthermore, the base wall can form a base area of ​​the prismatic body, and the base area can be polygonal, particularly triangular, quadrilateral, pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal, octagonal, decagonal, or dodecagonal. The fact that the base area can be polygonal offers additional advantages. On the one hand, the number of corners can be selected as needed, allowing the container to be adapted to various applications. On the other hand, the polygonal shape ensures increased stability of the container.

[0016] In a further advantageous embodiment of the container according to the invention, at least one retaining tab is formed on the bottom wall and / or the lid wall, wherein the retaining tab protrudes beyond the container body when the container is closed. The retaining tabs advantageously ensure that the bottom wall and / or the lid wall rest securely on the container body.

[0017] In further advantageous embodiments of the container according to the invention, it is designed as a folding box. The folding box as a storage container offers the advantage that it is usually made from a flat sheet of cardboard or corrugated board, which can be transformed into a three-dimensional container through easy folding and gluing. The construction as a folding box makes it possible to divide the container's receiving space into at least two areas, thus achieving optimal use of the available space. This embodiment of the invention offers significant advantages over conventional storage containers, particularly with regard to the cost-effective and material-saving manufacturing process, as well as space-saving storage and easy transport. In particular, the container according to the invention can be made of cardboard, corrugated board, paper, plastic, or a combination of these materials.The container according to the present invention is characterized by improved material versatility. By using cardboard, corrugated board, paper, plastic, or a combination of these materials, the container can be adapted to various requirements. For example, a container made of cardboard or paper offers advantages in terms of sustainability and recyclability, while a plastic container may offer greater stability. By combining materials, the advantages of each material can be specifically utilized.

[0018] A second aspect of the invention relates to a blank for producing a container for storing goods. The blank is formed in one piece and comprises a bottom wall, outer side walls, inner wall elements for forming inner walls when the blank is folded, and a lid wall. Two outer side walls and two inner wall elements are arranged in rows in a lower, middle, and upper wall strip, respectively. An inner wall element of the lower wall strip is hingedly connected to an adjacent inner wall element of the middle wall strip via a fold line.In addition, an inner wall element of the middle wall strip, which is arranged at an end of the middle wall strip opposite the aforementioned inner wall element, is hingedly connected to an adjacent inner wall element of the upper wall strip via a further fold line, so that the connection of the lower, middle, and upper wall strips is formed by the connection of the pairs of inner wall elements. In addition, the bottom wall is connected to the outer side wall of the lower wall strip, and the lid wall is connected to the outer side wall of the upper wall strip, each via bend lines. In other words, the invention relates to a one-piece blank for producing a container, in which the clever arrangement and connection of outer side walls and inner wall elements in different wall strips enables the interior to be divided into at least two areas.The construction is designed to ensure cost-effective and material-saving production of the container. Firstly, the one-piece design of the blank enables efficient and cost-effective production of the container. Secondly, the subdivision of the container's receiving space offers advantages for the organization and storage of goods, as separate compartments can be created for different items. The fold lines can be designed as creasing lines, scoring lines, perforation lines and / or as a combination of a bending line and a cutting line. The term "bending line" can be understood to mean all lines that enable elements of the container or blank to be bent relative to one another along a defined path, for example folding, scoring or creasing lines or a combination of these lines. A bending line can be created, for example, by scoring or grooving the container material.Grooves can be created using laser energy, for example.

[0019] In a further advantageous embodiment of the blank according to the invention, the lower, middle, and upper wall strips are separated from one another by cutting lines in the areas of the adjacent outer side walls and the inner wall elements not connected by the fold lines. In other words, the lower, middle, and upper wall strips are separated by cuts at the edges of the opposite outer side walls and the unconnected inner wall elements. This enables simple and cost-effective production of the blank.

[0020] In a further advantageous embodiment of the blank according to the invention, two outer side walls and two inner wall elements of the respective lower, middle, and upper wall strips are connected to one another via bending lines. This embodiment of the blank according to the invention makes it possible to design a cost-effective and material-saving container. Connecting the wall elements via bending lines enables a stable construction of the container to be produced without the need for additional materials or complex manufacturing processes. Furthermore, by dividing the container into at least two sections, it can be flexibly adapted to different requirements, for example, when storing different goods.

[0021] In a further advantageous embodiment of the blank according to the invention, it is provided that at least one inner wall element has an adhesive flap hinged via a bending line for connection to a corresponding further inner wall element and for forming receiving areas when the blank is folded. In particular, the adhesive flap can then be fastened to an inner side of the inner wall elements, wherein this inner side is oriented towards the receiving area of ​​the container when the blank is folded. This arrangement of the adhesive flaps on the inner side of the inner wall elements can achieve several advantages. Firstly, the fastening on the inner side ensures that the adhesive flaps cannot be damaged or bent during use of the container, which increases the stability and durability of the container overall.On the other hand, this arrangement enables a space-saving design of the container, since the adhesive tabs do not protrude outwards from the container and therefore do not require any additional space.

[0022] In further advantageous embodiments of the blank according to the invention, it is provided that plug-in and / or adhesive tabs are arranged on the lid wall via bending lines for detachably or permanently connecting the lid wall to the container body. The plug-in and adhesive tabs can be detachably or permanently connected to the container body by bending along the bending lines, which enables flexible adaptation to various usage requirements. Furthermore, it is possible for plug-in and / or adhesive tabs to be arranged on the bottom wall via bending lines for detachably or permanently connecting the bottom wall to the container body. This also enables flexible adaptation to various usage requirements of the container manufactured from the blank.It is also possible for the bottom wall to form a base surface of the prismatic body, and for the base surface to be polygonal, particularly triangular, quadrilateral, pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal, octagonal, decagonal, or dodecagonal. The fact that the base surface can be polygonal offers additional advantages. On the one hand, the number of corners can be selected as needed, which allows the container manufactured from the blank to be adapted to various applications. On the other hand, the polygonal shape ensures increased stability of the container.

[0023] In a further advantageous embodiment of the blank according to the invention, at least one retaining tab is formed on the base wall and / or the lid wall, wherein the retaining tab protrudes beyond the container body when the blank is folded and the container is closed. The retaining tabs advantageously ensure that the base wall and / or the lid wall rest securely on the container body in the container produced from the blank.

[0024] The blank can be made of cardboard, corrugated board, paper, plastic, or a combination of these materials. The use of cardboard and / or paper, in particular, contributes to a sustainable, material-saving, and thus ecologically desirable production of the container. The use of plastic can also be largely or entirely avoided.

[0025] Further features and their advantages can be found in the descriptions of the first aspect of the invention, wherein advantageous embodiments of the first aspect of the invention are to be regarded as advantageous embodiments of the second aspect of the invention and vice versa.

[0026] Furthermore, further features of the invention emerge from the claims, the exemplary embodiments, and the drawings. The features and combinations of features mentioned above in the description, as well as the features and combinations of features mentioned below in the exemplary embodiments, can be used not only in the respective specified combination, but also in other combinations without departing from the scope of the invention. They show: Fig. 1 a schematic representation of the container according to the invention in the closed state; Fig. 2 a schematic representation of the container according to the invention according to Fig. 1 in a partially opened state; Fig. 3 a schematic representation of the container according to the invention according to Fig. 1 from below in a partially opened state; Fig. 4 a schematic representation of a blank according to the invention for producing the container according to one of the Fig. 1 to 3; and Fig. 5 a schematic representation of a blank according to the invention according to a second embodiment.

[0027] The Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a container 10. The container 10 serves for the storage of goods of any kind. The container 10 comprises a container body 12, wherein the container body 12 has a bottom wall 14 and outer side walls 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 surrounding the bottom wall 14 to form a receiving space 28 (see also Fig. 2). The container 10 also comprises a lid wall 62, wherein the lid wall 62 is hingedly connected to the outer side wall 18 via a bending line 68. In conjunction with the Fig. 2 shows that plug-in tabs 34a, 36a, 38a, 40a, 42a are arranged on the cover wall 62 via corresponding bending lines 70a to 70e for detachably connecting the cover wall 62 to the container body 12. Furthermore, it is clear that the receiving space 28 is divided into three receiving areas 28a, 28b, 28c. The division is effected by means of inner walls 30, 31, 32 arranged in the receiving space 28. In addition, in conjunction with the Fig. 2, which is a schematic representation of the container 10 according to Fig. 1 in a partially opened state, it is clear that the inner walls 30, 31, 32 are double-walled. Two inner wall elements 44, 60; 48, 50; 52, 56 are adjacent to each other. The inner walls 30, 31, 32 and the outer side walls 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 each enclose the receiving areas 28a, 28b, 28c and form them accordingly. In particular, Fig. 4 it is clear that the container 10 is made from a one-piece blank 100.

[0028] Furthermore, the overview of the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 clearly shows that the interior wall elements 44, 52, 56 (see also Fig. 4) have an adhesive tab 46, 54, 58 hinged via a respective bending line 64a, 64b, 64c for connection to a corresponding inner wall element 48, 50, 60 and for forming the respective receiving areas 28a, 28b, 28c. The adhesive tabs 46, 54, 58 are arranged on an inner side of the respective inner wall element 48, 50, 60 facing the respective receiving area 28a, 28b, 28c and are connected thereto.

[0029] In the area opposite the cover wall 62, the bottom wall 14 is hingedly connected to the outer side wall 16 via a bending line 66. Furthermore, it is clear that the bottom wall 14 also has plug-in tabs 34, 36, 38, 40, 42 (see also Fig. 4) are arranged via corresponding bending lines 72a, 72b, 72c, 72d, 72e for the detachable connection of the bottom wall 14 to the container body 12.

[0030] Furthermore, it can be seen that several retaining tabs 78, 82 are formed on the bottom wall 14 and the lid wall 62, wherein the retaining tabs 78, 82 project beyond the container body 12 in the closed state of the container 10. Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 also clearly shows that the container 10 is designed in the form of a prismatic body along a longitudinal axis L. The bottom wall 14 forms the base area of ​​the prismatic body and is hexagonal in the illustrated embodiment. The same applies to the cover wall 62.

[0031] The inner wall element pairs 48, 50; 52, 56 (see Fig. 2 and Fig. 4) are hingedly connected to one another via fold lines 74, 76. This enables the aforementioned inner wall element pairs 48, 50; 52, 56 to rest on one another or against one another, forming the double-walled inner walls 30 and 31. The double-walled inner wall 32 is formed by the adjacent inner wall elements 44, 60, whereby the inner wall elements 44, 60 are not connected to one another via fold lines or bend lines. The double-walled design of the inner walls 30, 31, 32 contributes significantly to the stability of the container 10.

[0032] Overall, it can be seen that the container 10 is designed as a folding box. In the present embodiment, it is made of cardboard. However, it is also possible for the container 10 to be made of other materials or material combinations, for example, corrugated cardboard, paper, plastic, or a corresponding combination of these materials.

[0033] Fig. Figure 3 shows a schematic representation of the container 10 according to the Fig. 1 from below in a partially opened state. It can again be seen that the container 10 comprises the bottom wall 14 and the lid wall 62. The bottom wall 14 is hingedly connected to the container body 12 via the bending line 66, and the lid wall 62 via the bending line 68. Furthermore, the arrangement of the retaining tabs 78, 82 on the bottom wall 14 and the lid wall 62, respectively, is clearly visible. The plug-in tabs 34a, 42a of the lid wall 62 are shown as examples.

[0034] The Fig. The bending lines shown in Figures 1 to 3 can be seen most clearly in conjunction with the Fig. 4, which is a schematic representation of the blank 100 for producing the container 10 according to the Fig. 1 to 3. In particular, the folding or bending directions of the individual elements relative to each other are determined by the Fig. 1 to 3 clearly.

[0035] Fig. 4 shows that the blank 100 is formed in one piece. The blank 100 comprises the bottom wall 14, the outer side walls 14, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, the inner wall elements 44, 60; 48, 50; 52, 56 for forming the inner walls 30, 31, 32 in the folded state of the blank 100, and the cover wall 62. It is clear that two outer side walls 16, 18; 20, 22; 24, 26 and two inner wall elements 44, 48; 50, 52; 56, 60 are arranged in rows in a lower, middle, and upper wall strip 102, 106, 104, respectively. The inner wall element 48 of the lower wall strip 102 is hingedly connected to the adjacent inner wall element 50 of the middle wall strip 106 via the fold line 74.Furthermore, the inner wall element 52 of the middle wall strip 106, which is arranged at an end of the middle wall strip 106 opposite the inner wall element 50, is hingedly connected to the adjacent inner wall element 56 of the upper wall strip 104 via the further fold line 76. This results in the connection of the lower, middle, and upper wall strips 102, 106, 104 via the connection of the inner wall element pairs 48, 50; 52, 56. Furthermore, it can be seen that the bottom wall 14 is connected to the outer side wall 16 of the lower wall strip 102 and the cover wall 62 is connected to the outer side wall 22 of the upper wall strip 104, each via the bend lines 66, 68.

[0036] Furthermore, it can be seen that the lower, middle, and upper wall strips 102, 106, 104 are separated from one another by cutting lines 92, 94 in the areas of the adjacent outer side walls 16, 18; 20, 22; 24, 26 and the inner wall elements 44, 60 not connected via the fold lines 74, 76. It is clear that the two outer side walls 16, 18; 20, 22; 24, 26 and two inner wall elements 44, 48; 50, 52; 56, 60 of the respective lower, middle, and upper wall strips 102, 106, 104 are connected to one another via bending lines 86a, 86b, 86c; 88a, 88b, 88c; 90a, 90b, 90c. The arrangement of these bending lines in three-dimensional space, i.e. in the folded state of the blank 100, can also be shown in the representations of the container 10 in the Fig. 1 to 3. The folding lines 74, 76 mentioned can be designed as creasing lines, scoring lines, perforation lines and / or as a combination of a bending line and a cutting line.

[0037] Out of Fig. 4 also shows that the inner wall elements 44, 52, 56 each have an adhesive tab 46, 54, 58 hinged via a bending line 64a, 64b, 64c for connection to a corresponding inner wall element 48, 50, 60 and for forming the Fig. 2 in the folded state of the blank 100. The adhesive tabs 46, 54, 58 are separated from one another by cutting lines 94, 96. Furthermore, it is clear that the insertion tabs 34a, 36a, 38a, 40a, 42a formed on the lid wall 62 are arranged via corresponding bending lines 70a, 70b, 70c, 70d, 70e for releasably connecting the lid wall 62 to the container body 12 in the folded state of the blank 100. The same applies to the plug-in tabs 34, 36, 38, 40, 42 arranged on the bottom wall 14, which are each arranged over bending lines 72a, 72b, 72c, 72d, 72e for the detachable connection of the bottom wall 14 to the container body 12. Fig. 4 also clearly shows that both the base wall 14 and the cover wall 62 have a hexagonal base. Furthermore, retaining tabs 78, 82 are formed on the base wall 14 and the cover wall 62. The circumference or design of the retaining tabs 78 is represented by the course of corresponding cutting lines 80. It can be seen that the cutting lines 80 extend into the surface of the plug-in tabs 36, 38, 40. The same applies to the design of the retaining tabs 82, the shape of which is formed by the cutting lines 84, wherein the cutting lines 84 in turn extend into or extend into the respective plug-in tabs 36a, 38a, 40a of the cover wall 62.

[0038] Fig. Figure 5 shows a schematic representation of a blank 100 according to a second embodiment. This blank basically corresponds to the Fig. 4 according to the first embodiment. Regarding the description of the blank 100 according to the second embodiment, reference is therefore made to the description of the blank 100 according to the first embodiment. In contrast to the first embodiment, the blank 100 shown in Fig. 5, the blank 100 shown does not have any retaining tabs on the bottom wall 14 and the lid wall 62. In addition, the blank 100 is designed such that the container produced therefrom is overall more compact. In other words, the container produced from the blank 100 according to the second embodiment is lower than the container 10 according to the first embodiment. The distance between the bottom wall 14 and the lid wall 62 is shorter than the corresponding distance in the Fig. 1 to 3 illustrated embodiment.

[0039] The described containers 10, as well as the blanks 100 for producing the described containers 10, are typically made of cardboard, corrugated cardboard, paper, or plastic. Other suitable materials and combinations of the aforementioned materials are also conceivable. QUOTES CONTAINED IN THE DESCRIPTION
