Description

[0001] The invention relates to an insert for a packaging box.

[0002] A packaging box within the meaning of the present invention is a cuboid, wherein the top surface of the cuboid is in the form of a lid or a flap.

[0003] According to the current state of the art, inserts for packaging boxes are known in many variations. For example, an insert can be designed as a nest, i.e., a raised platform with one or more openings for products. The products are placed in and held within these openings. In addition, inlays in the form of dividers are known, which serve to subdivide the packaging base into several compartments.

[0004] DE29716702U1 shows many variations for dividing a packaging box. Fig. 8 are a combination of an element for forming partition walls and an element for forming a one-sided platform. In Fig. Figure 12 shows an insert for forming a one-sided pedestal. This is connected to the second insert of the Fig. 10 combined as in Fig. 13 is illustrated.

[0005] The present invention relates to an insert for a packaging box and a packaging box with this insert, wherein the insert is provided separately from and without connection to the packaging box, and wherein the insert forms a one-sided platform at the bottom of the packaging box, which platform is located between a wall of the packaging box and the products to be packaged. The insert is produced by folding a single blank from a sheet of cardboard or paper.

[0006] The object of the invention is to improve the retention of the insert in the packaging box, whereby the insertion of the insert should be carried out in a simple manner. In particular, the shape of the insert should enable insertion and retention in the packaging box without the use of adhesive.

[0007] To solve the problem, an insert according to claim 1 is proposed. A less preferred variant is specified in claim 18.

[0008] One embodiment relates to an insert for a packaging box, which insert is produced by folding a blank, which insert comprises a bottom section with a free edge, wherein an inner wall section, a platform section, an outer wall section and a bottom section are successively connected to the edge of the bottom section opposite the free edge, wherein the bottom section ends at a second free edge of the insert, wherein there is a fold line between each of these sections and each of these sections has two side edges which run successively from the free edge to the second free edge, wherein the free edge is convex and the two side edges of the outer wall section and / or a part of the subfloor section have a greater distance between them than the two side edges of the floor section.

[0009] Preferably, the two side edges of the floor section, the inner wall section and the platform section are formed by two common straight side edges of the cutout, which run parallel to each other.

[0010] It is preferred that the two side edges of the outer wall section and the two side edges of a sub-area of ​​the underbody section are each convexly shaped, such that the side edges in the central area of ​​the outer wall section and the side edges in the central area of ​​the sub-area of ​​the underbody section have a greater distance from each other than the two side edges of the bottom section, wherein the opposite outer points of the fold edge between the outer wall section and the underbody section have a smaller distance from each other than the side edges in the aforementioned central areas.

[0011] It is preferred that the insert has a rectangular basic shape which forms all sections, from which rectangular basic shape tabs project outwards in the outer wall section and tabs project outwards in a first area of ​​the underbody section adjacent to the outer wall section, and from which rectangular basic shape the free edge is convexly shaped outwards, and from which rectangular basic shape the two side edges of a second area of ​​the underbody section are offset inwards.

[0012] Preferably, the free edge is in the form of a circular arc. Preferably, the two side edges of the outer wall section are in the form of circular arcs. Preferably, the two side edges of the subfloor section are in the form of circular arcs.

[0013] Preferably, the folding edge between the floor section and the inner wall section is designed as a perforated line, and the folding edge between the inner wall section and the platform section, or the folding edge between the platform section and the outer wall section, is designed as a groove or score.

[0014] It is preferred that the restoring force of the folding edge between the floor section and the inner wall section is less than the restoring force of the folding edge between the inner wall section and the platform section and / or less than the restoring force of the folding edge between the platform section and the outer wall section.

[0015] It is preferred that all fold edges of the insert are parallel to each other.

[0016] Preferably, the insert has only the aforementioned sections and only the aforementioned fold lines, wherein the insert is folded only along a single direction of the blank.

[0017] It is preferred that the insert includes at least one spacer, which in the case of the folded insert is located between the outer wall section and the inner wall section.

[0018] It is preferred that the spacer or spacers are located within at least one of the sections selected from the inner wall section, outer wall section and underfloor section during cutting and are connected to the cut along at least one first edge and are separated from the cut along further edges and / or a curve by a cut, so that the orientation of the spacer relative to the section in which it is located during cutting can be changed when folding the insert.

[0019] One embodiment relates to a packaging box with an insert, which insert is produced by folding a blank that is separate from the packaging box, which insert comprises a bottom section with a free edge, wherein an inner wall section, a platform section, an outer wall section and a bottom section are successively connected to the edge of the bottom section opposite the free edge, wherein the bottom section ends at a second free edge of the insert, wherein there is a folded edge between each of these sections and each of these sections has two side edges which run successively from the free edge to the second free edge, wherein the insert forms a platform that connects on one side to a first inner wall of the packaging box, wherein the outer wall section of the insert abuts the first inner wall.wherein the bottom section is arranged between the base of the packaging box and the bottom section, wherein the insert is pressed against a second inner wall of the packaging box opposite the first inner wall with a central area of ​​the free edge by a restoring force of at least one of the folding edges, and the insert is clamped between a third inner wall and a fourth inner wall of the packaging box, which connect the first and second side walls at opposite edges, in the area of ​​the outer wall section and / or the bottom section, wherein the two outer corners and the two side edges of the bottom section are positioned with play in the packaging box.

[0020] Preferably, the insert is clamped between the third inner wall and the fourth inner wall of the packaging box by two tabs projecting in a straight extension from the outer wall section and a part of the bottom section.

[0021] The insert can be implemented according to one of the variants mentioned above or described below.

[0022] Preferably, the packaging box is a shoulder box with a separate lid or a hinged flap.

[0023] It is preferred that the packaging box contains rod-shaped items which are lined up next to each other and rest on the bottom section following the pedestal.

[0024] Preferably, the insert is fixed in the packaging box solely by the aforementioned restoring force and the clamping in the lower rear corner area of ​​the pedestal.

[0025] In a less preferred embodiment, an insert for a packaging box is provided, which insert is produced by folding a blank, which insert comprises a bottom section with a free edge, wherein an inner wall section, a platform section and an outer wall section are successively connected to the edge of the bottom section opposite the free edge, wherein the outer wall section ends at a second free edge of the insert, wherein a fold edge is present between each of these sections and each of these sections has two side edges which run successively from the free edge to the second free edge, wherein the free edge is convex and the two side edges of the outer wall section have a greater distance between them than the two side edges of the bottom section.

[0026] This variant is achieved by omitting the subsoil section in the preferred variants described herein. The characteristics described for the other sections remain unchanged.

[0027] In this variant, the insert can include at least one spacer, which, when folded, is located between the outer wall section and the inner wall section. Preferably, at least one spacer is present, which, during cutting, is selected to be located within one of the sections (inner wall section and outer wall section) or adjacent to the second free edge of the outer wall section and is connected to the cut piece along at least one first edge, wherein the orientation of the spacer relative to the section in which it is located during cutting can be changed when the insert is folded.

[0028] The preferred insert comprises a floor section, an interior wall section adjoining it on one side, a platform section adjoining it on one side, an exterior wall section adjoining it on one side, and a subfloor section adjoining it on one side.

[0029] Preferably, the insert consists exclusively of these sections.

[0030] The sections are arranged consecutively along a first side of a blank cut from a sheet of paper or cardboard. Preferably, only one section is present along a second side perpendicular to the first side of the blank. In other words, the insert preferably has only fold lines that are parallel to each other and parallel to the first side of the blank.

[0031] The underbody section preferably comprises two areas of different widths along the second side of the cut. The two outer ends of the first area project beyond the two outer ends of the second area on both sides towards the second side of the cut. The first area adjoins the outer wall section. The second area forms a free end of the cut.

[0032] The outer wall section or first area is wider along its second side than the floor section, the inner wall section, and the platform section. Preferably, the outer wall section and the first area are wider than the floor section, the inner wall section, and the platform section. Preferably, the projecting portions of the wider sections are in the form of tabs with a convex edge. The convex edges can be circular arcs. The tabs of the outer wall section and the first area can project to the same extent. There can be a taper between the tabs of the outer wall section and the first area. In other words, the width at the edge between the outer wall section and the first area of ​​the subfloor section is narrower than the width at the centers of the outer wall section and the first area.The tabs protrude straight from the respective section, meaning they have no fold line and are not folded.

[0033] The second section of the subfloor section is preferably narrower along the second side than the floor section, the interior wall section and the platform section.

[0034] The floor section, the interior wall section and the platform section are preferably of equal width to each other along the second side.

[0035] Between each of the aforementioned sections, there is a fold line. Each fold line can be provided with a folding aid. The fold lines can be pre-formed by a folding aid such as a crease, score, or perforation line in the sheet material.

[0036] In a preferred variant, two different folding edges are present, which differ in the type of folding aid feature.

[0037] In a preferred variant, two different folding edges are present, which differ in the magnitude of the restoring force of the folded edge.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the fold line between the bottom section and the inner wall section is designed as a perforated line. The other fold lines are described as either a groove or a score. A score is preferred. A perforated line has several spaced-apart openings along the line. A groove or score represents a depression in the insert material that runs continuously along a line. In a score, the insert material is cut over a portion of the surface, resulting in a line of reduced thickness. Preferably, the score extends to the center of the material. In a score, the insert material is plastically deformed to create a groove. The fold line between the bottom section and the inner wall section preferably has a lower restoring force than the other fold lines.

[0039] In a preferred variant, the free edge of the bottom section, which lies opposite the inner wall section, has a convex profile. The two corner regions of this free edge are thus free of any displacement compared to the central region of this free edge. The free edge can be in the form of a circular arc.

[0040] An advantage of the present invention compared to the prior art is that, due to its shape, the insert stays in place in the packaging box without the use of an adhesive.

[0041] Furthermore, it is advantageous that the three contact areas, viewed from above, make inserting the insert easier.

[0043] Insert 1 is in the Fig. Figures 1 to 16 are not to scale. This is especially true in the... Fig. 3 and Fig. Figure 4 shows the material thickness of insert 1 disproportionately exaggerated to make the overlapping areas more visible. Fig. Figures 1 to 5 all show a first implementation variant of insert 1.

[0044] As in Fig. As illustrated in Figure 1, the insert 1 consists of a single blank of paper or cardboard. Preferably, the blank is provided with fold lines, which are present as weakening lines of the paper or cardboard. Preferably, all fold lines are parallel to each other and parallel to a first side of the blank.

[0045] Insert 1 comprises five sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, with one of four fold lines 10, 11, 12, 13 located between each of these sections. The five sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are arranged consecutively along a second side of the blank. The two sides of the blank are perpendicular to each other. The blank is essentially rectangular. Insert 1 is placed in a packaging box with a rectangular base.

[0046] The insert 1 comprises a base section 2, which includes a free edge 9. No other section of the insert 1 adjoins the free edge 9. When inserted, the base section 2 with its free edge 9 rests against an inner wall of the packaging box.

[0047] The free edge 9 is convex, projecting further in its central region than at its two corners. The free edge can be a circular arc, preferably with a radius of 600 to 800 mm, particularly 650 to 750 mm. The central region of the base section 2 is longer than its two side edges, preferably by 0.5 to 2 mm, particularly 1 mm to 1.4 mm, for example 1.2 mm.

[0048] Opposite the free edge 9, an inner wall section 3 adjoins the bottom section 2. When the insert 1 is inserted, this forms an inner wall of the interior of the packaging box, which is bounded on one side by the insert 1.

[0049] A folded edge 10 exists between the bottom section 2 and the inner wall section 3. This is preferably designed as a perforated line. The perforated sections are preferably longer than the intervening webs. For example, perforations with a length of 5 mm and intervening webs with a length of 1 mm have proven suitable.

[0050] Opposite the base section 2, a platform section 4 adjoins the inner wall section 3. When insert 1 is used, this forms a raised area of ​​the insert 1, which borders a side wall of the packaging box.

[0051] A folded edge 11 exists between the inner wall section 3 and the platform section 4. This is preferably designed as a groove or score.

[0052] Opposite the inner wall section 3, an outer wall section 5 adjoins the platform section 4. When insert 1 is used, this forms an outer wall of the insert, which rests against the side wall of the packaging box.

[0053] A folded edge 12 exists between the platform section 4 and the outer wall section 5. This is preferably designed as a groove or score.

[0054] Opposite the platform section 4, a subfloor section 6 adjoins the outer wall section 5. With the insert 1 in place, this section lies between the base section 2 and the bottom of the packaging box.

[0055] A folded edge 13 exists between the outer wall section 5 and the underfloor section 6. This is preferably designed as a groove or score.

[0056] The subfloor section 6 has a free edge opposite the outer wall section 5. With the insert 1 in place, the free edge of the subfloor section 6 lies below the floor section 2. The free edge of the subfloor section 6 is spaced from the free edge 9 of the floor section 2. The subfloor section 6 is shorter than the floor section 2.

[0057] The underfloor section 6 preferably has two areas 7, 8. A first area 7 adjoins the outer wall section 5 and the second area 8 adjoins the first area 7 and ends at the free edge of the underfloor section 6.

[0058] Each of sections 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 has two opposing side edges that follow one another along the second side of the blank. The side edges of sections 2, 3, and 4 are preferably straight and parallel to each other. Sections 2, 3, and 4 can be of equal width to each other along the first side of the blank, so that their side edges form two separate parallel side edges of the blank. The two side edges of the second region 8 of the underbody section 6 are preferably offset inwards with respect to the side edges of the bottom section 2. The two side edges of the second region 8 of the underbody section 6 can be straight and parallel to each other. The free edge of the underbody section 6 can also be straight.In principle, the side edges and the free edge of the second area 8 can also be oriented or shaped differently, as the outer contour of the second area 8 has no special function. There is no folding edge between the first area 7 and the second area 8. The second free area 8 and / or the entire bottom section 6 can be helpful when inserting the insert. In particular, the bottom section 6 and the bottom section 2 can be gripped together when the insert 1 is folded, so that the bottom section 6 and the bottom section 2 can be fixed in their relative position to each other. This also temporarily holds the position of the folding edge 13 relative to the bottom section 2, and thus the shape of the platform, in a position advantageous during the insertion process.The insert 1 can be moved diagonally downwards with the pedestal forwards towards an inner corner area of ​​the packaging box, thereby releasing the fixation between bottom section 6 and bottom section 2 and pressing the bottom section 2, which projects diagonally outwards upwards, into the packaging box.

[0059] The first region 7 preferably has two convex side edges. The first region 7 is preferably wider in its central region than at the fold edge 13 and than at the transition points to the second region 8. Each side edge of the first region 7 can be a circular arc, in particular with a radius in the range of 10 mm to 20 mm.

[0060] The outer wall section 5 preferably has two convex side edges. The outer wall section 5 is preferably wider in its central area than at its bounding fold edges 12, 13. Each side edge of the outer wall section 5 can be a circular arc, in particular with a radius in the range of 40 mm to 60 mm.

[0061] The dimensions of the cut can be chosen according to the size of the packaging box and the desired height and width of the platform. It is important that the outer wall section 5 or the first area 7 – preferably both – is wider than the other sections.

[0062] The outer wall section 5 has two tabs 14 projecting beyond the side edges of sections 2, 3, 4.

[0063] The first area 7 has two tabs 15 projecting beyond the side edges of sections 2, 3, 4.

[0064] The tabs 14 of the outer wall section 5 and the tabs 15 of the first area 7 preferably project the same distance outwards from the rectangular base shape of the cutout. The second area 8 is offset inwards relative to the rectangular base shape. The free edge 9 is curved outwards relative to the rectangular base shape.

[0065] The folding edge 13 is preferably less wide than the width in the central area of ​​the tabs 14, 15. This facilitates the insertion of the insert 1.

[0066] Before inserting the insert 1, it is folded along the fold lines, whereby at least one of the fold lines 11 and / or 12 is folded at an angle of less than 90°, starting from the flat shape of the blank. The folding is carried out such that the bottom section 6 runs below the bottom section 2 and the two wall sections 3, 5 project upwards from the bottom section 2 and bottom section 6.

[0067] Inserting insert 1 into a packaging box is described in Fig. Figure 5 illustrates this. The edge area of ​​the insert 1, formed by the fold 13, is placed against a first inner bottom edge of the packaging box. Then, the bottom section 2 is pivoted into the packaging box against the restoring force at the fold 11, 12 until the free edge 9 rests against the side wall of a second, opposite inner bottom edge of the packaging box. The restoring force at the fold 11, 12 fixes the insert 1 in this position.

[0068] The Fig. 2 and Fig. Figure 3 shows the shape of insert 1 in this fixed position.

[0069] The insert placed in a packaging box is in Fig. Figure 4 illustrates this. Insert 1 is illustrated with a dot pattern and the box base with a denser pattern.

[0070] The insert 1 rests against the outer wall section 5 of a first inner side wall of the packaging box. The free edge 9 rests against the opposite second inner side wall of the packaging box, specifically only at a central area of ​​the free edge 9.

[0071] Tabs 14 and 15 rest against the third and fourth inner side walls of the packaging box, which connect the first two side walls. Insert 1 is thus clamped in the bottom of the packaging box in both directions. As shown in Fig. As can also be seen in Figure 4, the two outer corners and the two side edges of the base section 2 have some play in the packaging box. This allows the insert 1 to be used even if the shape of the packaging box deviates from the rectangular target shape of the base due to manufacturing tolerances.

[0072] The platform of insert 1 reduces the interior space of the packaging box on one side. The remaining space is filled with products. The platform compensates for any difference in the dimensions of the interior space and the dimensions of the products. The platform and / or the entire insert 1 can be printed.

[0073] In a specific application example, the packaging box is used to package rod-shaped items such as cigarettes, cigarillos or heat-not-burn items.

[0074] The packaging box is in Fig. 4 and Fig. Figure 5 illustrates a shoulder box, which is a preferred option. The lid of the packaging box is not shown. It may be removable, or it may be a hinged flap attached to the box.

[0075] The packaging box is preferably flat, i.e., with a height that is less than the narrowest side of the packaging base, in particular less than half.

[0076] In the variants of Fig. Figures 6 to 16 illustrate spacers 16. As shown, one or more spacers can be folded in one piece from the material of the insert 1, which is the preferred variant. In embodiments not shown, the spacer can also be an additional element placed between the inner wall section 3 and the outer wall section 5.

[0077] Each spacer 16 is positioned between the inner wall section 3 and the outer wall section 5, thus limiting the movement range of the inner wall section 3 towards the outer wall section 5. In other words, the spacer 16 forms a stop for the inner wall section 3.

[0078] Each spacer 16 can be cut either in the area of ​​the inner wall section 3 ( Fig. 6) or in the area of ​​the outer wall section 5 ( Fig. 8) or in the area of ​​subfloor section 6 ( Fig. 10) or in the area of ​​the outer wall section 5 and the subfloor section 6 ( Fig. 12) are present.

[0079] Preferably, at least two, and in particular exactly two, spacers 16 are provided. Less preferably, a central spacer 16 may also be provided.

[0080] In the variant of Fig. 6 and Fig. The spacers 16 are located in the extension of the bottom section 2 and are directly connected to it. The scoring or perforation of the folding edge 10 is interrupted in the area of ​​the spacers 16. The spacers 16 are separated from the adjacent areas of the inner wall section 3 by a cut. After folding at the folding edge 10, the spacers 16 are located in a straight extension of the bottom section 2. The spacers 16 form a stop for the inner wall section 3, as this can only be moved towards the outer wall section 5 until the spacers 16 abut the outer wall section 5.

[0081] In the variant of Fig. 8 and Fig. 9. The spacers 16 are located exclusively within the area of ​​the outer wall section 5 and are connected to the outer wall section 5 via a folded edge. The folded edge can be a perforation, groove, or score, or it can be without any folding aid. The spacers 16 are separated from the other adjacent areas of the outer wall section 5 by a cut. After folding at the folded edge, the spacers 16 project from the outer wall section 5 towards the inner wall section 3. The folded edge can be aligned parallel to the folded edges 12 and 13, as shown, but it can also be perpendicular to them or at another angle. The folded edges of the two spacers 16 can be identical or differently oriented relative to each other.

[0082] In the variant of Fig. 10 and Fig. The spacers 16 are located exclusively within the area of ​​the underbody section 6 and are connected to it via a fold edge. The fold edge can be a perforation, groove, or score, or it can be without any folding aid. The spacers 16 are separated from the other adjacent areas of the underbody section 6 by a cut. After folding at the fold edge, the spacers 16 project upwards from the underbody section 6. The fold edge can be oriented perpendicular to the fold edge 13, as shown, but it can also be parallel or at another angle to it. The fold edges of the two spacers 16 can be identical or differently oriented relative to each other.

[0083] In the variant of Fig. 12 and Fig. The spacers 16 are located in the area of ​​the underbody section 6 and the outer wall section 5 and are connected to the underbody section 6 and the outer wall section 5 by a folded edge, respectively. The folded edges can be perforated, scored, or scored. The spacers 16 are separated from the other adjacent areas of the underbody section 6 and the outer wall section 5 by a cut. After folding at the fold edges, the spacers 16 project upwards from the underbody section 6 and inwards from the outer wall section 5. The folded edges are aligned parallel to the folded edge 13, as shown. The folded edge 13 is also present at the spacers 16. The two cuts forming the respective spacer 16 are preferably perpendicular to the folded edge 13.

[0084] In the Fig. Figures 14-16 illustrate that three variants are available for extending the spacers 16 between the inner wall section 3 and the outer wall section 5. Fig. 14 The inner wall section 3 has some play, allowing it to move towards the outer wall section 5 before the spacer 16 acts as a stop. This is also achievable if the spacer 16 is elastically deformable by the inner wall section 3. This play can be helpful when inserting the insert 1, especially when pressing in or pivoting the bottom section 2.

[0085] In Fig. Figure 15 illustrates that the spacer 16 can exactly fill the space between the outer wall section 5 and the inner wall section 3. The inner wall section 3 has no room for movement here, with the free edge 9 of the bottom section 2 being pressed against the folding edges 11, 12 in the packaging box by the restoring force.

[0086] In Fig. Figure 16 illustrates that the spacer 16 can be longer than the width of the space between the outer wall section 5 and the inner wall section 3. The inner wall section 3 has no room for movement, and the free edge 9 of the bottom section 2 is pressed against the opposite inner wall of the packaging box by the spacer 16, either additionally or alternatively to the aforementioned restoring forces.

[0087] As in the Fig. As illustrated in Figures 6 to 13, the spacers 16 are preferably located within the cut and not as folding tabs which protrude outwards and laterally from the inner wall section 3 or the platform section 4.

[0088] In an embodiment not shown, the underbody section 6 or a first area 7 of the underbody section 6 can also be configured as a spacer 16 over the entire width of the insert 1, in that it has at least one folding edge, in particular two folding edges, which are parallel to the folding edge 13 and the underbody section 6, viewed from the side, projects into the space between the inner wall section 3 and the outer wall section 5 with two or three surface sections. In the case of two surface sections, these can be L-shaped or A-shaped, or as two sides of a triangle. In the case of three surface sections, these can be as three sides of a quadrilateral, rectangle, or trapezoid. QUOTES INCLUDED IN THE DESCRIPTION
