Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a round container made of fiber-based material for holding goods, a set comprising two such round containers, a round can comprising one such round container, a set comprising one such round can and one such round container, a cutting set for manufacturing such a round container and a cutting set for manufacturing such a round can.

[0002] Round containers made of fiber-based materials such as cardboard, corrugated board, and / or paper are often superior to plastic containers for sustainability reasons. Such cylindrical round containers made of fiber-based materials are well-known. A disadvantage is that they cannot be easily nested, i.e., stacked inside one another, meaning that these round containers require a lot of space when transported or stored in large numbers.

[0003] It is an object of the present invention to provide a round container made of fiber-based material in which a large number of such round containers can be stored and / or transported with less space requirement.

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

[0005] The invention is based on the idea of ​​shaping one side wall of the round container conically to achieve nesting capability. In particular, side flaps that fold outwards from the side wall are also provided, which can serve as spacers during nesting.

[0006] According to one aspect of the invention, a round container made of fiber-based material, in particular cardboard, paperboard, and / or paper, for holding goods is provided. The round container has a bottom wall and a side wall element connected to the bottom wall. The side wall element has a conical side wall. The round container has a receiving space for holding the goods, which is laterally, in particular completely and / or circumferentially, bounded by the side wall and on an underside of the round container by the bottom wall. The round container has an opening on an upper side opposite the underside for inserting the goods into the receiving space and, in particular, for removing the goods from the receiving space.The side wall element has at least two side flaps that fold outwards from the side wall and are arranged at the same height, in particular along a vertical axis of the round container running perpendicular to the bottom wall.

[0007] The bottom wall is designed to be flat or approximately flat. Accordingly, its vertical axis is defined by a normal vector or a normal direction to the plane of the bottom wall, or is parallel to it. The terms "top" and "bottom," and related terms, refer to the vertical axis here and in the following, unless otherwise specified. Therefore, in the case of a round container, the bottom wall is at the bottom, and an edge of the side wall facing away from the bottom wall is at the top, which is also referred to as the upper edge.

[0008] The side wall can be designed to be rotationally symmetric or approximately rotationally symmetric about the vertical axis. Here and in the following, the term "outside" refers to a radial direction away from the vertical axis, while the term "inside" refers to the opposite direction.

[0009] If the side flaps are folded outwards from the side wall, this means in particular that they are not located in the recording space but on a side of the side wall facing away from the recording space.

[0010] The round container is specifically described as such because a contour of the side wall in a cross-sectional plane perpendicular to the vertical axis is circular or approximately circular.

[0011] The fact that the side wall is conical can be understood in particular to mean that the side wall has the shape of a truncated cone, especially a right truncated cone.

[0012] The opening is, for example, limited or defined by, or essentially defined by, the upper edge of the side wall.

[0013] The fact that the side wall element is connected to the bottom wall can be realized, for example, by gluing the side wall element to the bottom wall or by mechanical connection, i.e., in particular by force and / or form locking, or by being formed in one piece with the bottom wall.

[0014] The side wall element can consist of the side wall itself, or the side wall and side flaps, or it can include additional elements or components, for example, for connecting the side wall element to the base wall. The side wall can be single-layered or multi-layered. The base wall can also be single-layered or multi-layered. A multi-layered design can be achieved, for example, by two or more initially separate components arranged one above the other and optionally connected to each other. However, in some configurations, it is also possible to fold a single component once or multiple times, resulting in two or more layers.

[0015] The conical shape of the side wall offers a significant advantage in terms of the ability to nest multiple round containers according to the invention. Conventional cylindrical round containers cannot be nested because they cannot be stacked inside one another, resulting in a large space requirement when storing or transporting many containers. The conical shape, however, allows for easy nesting.

[0016] The fold-out side flaps address a problem that can occur with nested round containers: they tend to stick together due to a vacuum. When one container is inserted into another, the air between them can be displaced, making it difficult to remove the upper container due to the resulting vacuum. The side flaps act as spacers by creating an air gap between the bottom walls of the upper and lower containers. This gap prevents the air from being completely displaced and reduces or eliminates the vacuum, thus significantly facilitating the separation of the containers. Specifically, the side flaps of the inner (upper) container rest on the upper edge of the side wall of the outer (lower) container.

[0017] The fact that the side flaps are arranged at the same height can be understood to mean that, when fully extended (for example, perpendicular to the side wall), they extend at least approximately in a common plane, which is, in particular, perpendicular to the vertical axis. The arrangement of the side flaps at the same height along the vertical axis ensures uniform support and a well-defined distance between nested round containers.

[0018] The total number of at least two side tabs can, for example, be at least three or at least four in some embodiments. This further increases the stability of the nested round containers.

[0019] According to at least one embodiment, the side wall element has a plurality of bottom flaps at one end of the side wall facing the underside. These bottom flaps are pivotally connected to the side wall and are, in particular, folded inwards into the plane of the bottom wall and are bonded, especially glued, to the bottom wall. Alternatively, the bottom wall has a plurality of bottom flaps that are folded upwards or downwards perpendicular to the plane of the bottom wall and are bonded to the side wall.

[0020] These designs offer a particularly reliable and stable connection between the side wall element and the base wall. The hinged base tabs allow for precise positioning of the base wall relative to the side wall element, ensuring a reinforced and uniform connection.

[0021] Furthermore, before assembling the round container, the base and side wall elements can be transported or stored flat, thus requiring less space. Additionally, cutting the base and side wall elements separately is easier than with a more complex, one-piece design.

[0022] According to at least one embodiment, the round container has a further bottom wall which is bonded to the bottom tabs and / or to the bottom wall on a side opposite the bottom wall. The bottom tabs are provided, in particular, as part of the side wall element, as described above.

[0023] The at least two-layer base design enhances the structural integrity of the round container by creating a more stable and robust foundation. Furthermore, the base tabs are concealed, which offers aesthetic advantages and also reduces the risk of the adhesive bond unintentionally failing.

[0024] For example, it may be advantageous to only require one application of adhesive to bond the base wall and the subsequent base wall to the side wall element. The adhesive can be applied to the base wall, the base tabs placed onto the adhesive-coated base wall, and then the subsequent base wall placed onto the base tabs. By selecting the appropriate amount of adhesive, the base wall, the subsequent base wall, and the base tabs can be reliably bonded together.

[0025] According to at least one embodiment, the at least two side flaps are each hinged to the side wall via a corresponding bending line, for example a groove line.

[0026] The bending lines act as hinges, supporting the movement of the side flaps. This enables precise and controlled unfolding of the side flaps. Furthermore, it facilitates particularly simple manufacturing of the side flaps within the side wall element.

[0027] The respective bending line can, for example, have a length of 5 mm to 40 mm or from 10 mm to 30 mm.

[0028] The respective side flap can, for example, be limited by the respective bend line and one or more punching or cutting lines, whereby the bend line and the one or more punching or cutting lines in combination completely encircle the respective side flap.

[0029] The respective bending line can, for example, be located at an end of the respective side flap facing the upper edge of the side wall.

[0030] According to at least one embodiment, the respective bending line, i.e., in particular all bending lines, has a distance of at least 5 mm or at least 10 mm from the upper edge of the side wall.

[0031] Accordingly, in the nested state of two round containers according to the invention, the distance between the bottom walls of the round containers is also approximately at least 5 mm or at least 10 mm. This allows for particularly simple singulation of the nested round containers.

[0032] According to at least one embodiment, the at least two side flaps, when folded out maximally from the side wall, each protrude from the side wall by 3 mm to 20 mm.

[0033] Accordingly, on the one hand, a secure contact of the side flaps with the side wall of the underlying round container can be ensured, and on the other hand, the space requirement of the round container in the lateral direction is only increased very moderately.

[0034] According to at least one embodiment, the side wall forms an angle with the vertical axis in the range [4°, 15°].

[0035] In other words, the side wall forms an angle with the plane of the bottom wall in the range [94°, 105°].

[0036] This ensures that several round containers can be nested together, while only moderately increasing the space required for the round container in the lateral direction.

[0037] According to at least one embodiment, the at least two side flaps are arranged in an even distribution in the circumferential direction of the side wall.

[0038] In other words, the angular distance between two successive side flaps is given by, or approximately given by, 360° / N, where N is the total number of at least two side flaps.

[0039] According to at least one embodiment, the round container consists of cardboard, carton and / or paper.

[0040] This includes, in particular, coated cardboard, coated cardstock, and coated paper. Specifically, the cardboard, cardstock, and / or paper may have a grease- and / or liquid-repellent coating. The coating may be applied to one side, especially to the sides of the bottom wall and / or side wall facing the recording area, or to both sides. Furthermore, it is also possible, alternatively or additionally, for the cardboard, cardstock, and / or paper to be printed and / or colored, and so on.

[0041] According to at least one embodiment, the side wall or side wall element consists of corrugated cardboard.

[0042] This allows for a particularly high mechanical stability and load-bearing capacity of the round container.

[0043] According to another aspect of the invention, a set is specified which comprises a first round container according to the invention and a second round container according to the invention.

[0044] The first round container and the second round container are nestable, such that in a nested state the bottom wall of the second round container is arranged in the receiving space of the first round container and, in particular, the side wall of the second round container is partially arranged in the receiving space of the first round container, with the upper edge of the side wall of the second round container protruding from the receiving space of the first round container.

[0045] In particular, if, in the nested state, the at least two side flaps of the second round container are each folded outwards from the side wall, especially if they are folded out to their maximum extent, the at least two side flaps of the second round container each rest on an upper edge of the side wall of the first round container.

[0046] In particular, when nested, there is a gap along the vertical axis of the first round container between the bottom wall of the first round container and the bottom wall of the second round container, which is, for example, at least 5 mm or at least 10 mm.

[0047] The set can, in particular, comprise a plurality of round containers according to the invention, including the first round container and the second round container. In the nested state, the first round container is, for example, the lowest round container in the plurality of round containers. In the nested state, the bottom wall of each round container, with the exception of the first round container, is arranged within the receiving space of the round container directly below it.

[0048] In particular, if, in the nested state, the at least two side flaps of all round containers, possibly with the exception of the first round container, are each folded outwards from the side wall, especially folded out to their maximum extent, the at least two side flaps of each round container rest on an upper edge of the side wall of the round container directly below.

[0049] According to a further aspect of the invention, a round container for holding goods is provided. The round container has a round receptacle according to the invention as well as a lid for the round receptacle for closing the receiving space.

[0050] The lid can also be made of fiber-based material, in particular cardboard, carton, and / or paper. The explanations regarding the fiber-based material of the round container apply analogously.

[0051] According to at least one embodiment, the lid has a lid wall which, in the closed state of the receiving space, i.e., when the lid closes the round container, in particular the receiving space, is parallel to the bottom wall, and a further side wall element with a further side wall which is in particular perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the lid wall and extends in particular from the lid wall downwards in the direction of the bottom wall.

[0052] The other side wall can be cylindrical or approximately cylindrical.

[0053] According to at least one embodiment, the further side wall has at least two detent areas formed by recesses or indentations on an inner side of the further side wall, which are positioned and designed such that the at least two side flaps, in a position folded out of the side wall, each detent with one of the at least two detent areas.

[0054] In particular, the at least two resting areas include one resting area for each side flap of the at least two side flaps. Therefore, the number of at least two resting areas is at least equal to the number of at least two side flaps.

[0055] Such embodiments are particularly advantageous. Firstly, the locking mechanism of the at least two side flaps with the at least two locking areas prevents the sealed round container from opening unintentionally. Secondly, in such embodiments, the at least two side flaps can advantageously serve two different purposes: firstly, as spacers during the transport or storage of the round containers, and secondly, for securely closing the round container.

[0056] According to at least one embodiment, the locking areas in the circumferential direction of the lid or the further side wall each have an extent that is in the range of 15 mm to 70 mm and / or is larger than a corresponding extent of the side flaps, in particular larger than a length of the bending lines.

[0057] Accordingly, the alignment of the lid to the round container is made easier, so that the side tabs can lock into the locking areas.

[0058] According to at least one embodiment, the further side wall is designed with at least two layers. The locking areas are formed at least in an innermost layer of the further side wall. In particular, the locking areas are not present in an outermost layer of the further side wall. In a two-layer design, the locking areas are therefore provided in the inner layer but not in the outer layer of the further side wall.

[0059] This allows the described locking mechanism to be achieved, while the outer side wall still has no openings, thus preventing the ingress of dirt or other unwanted solids or liquids into the receiving space.

[0060] According to at least one embodiment, the further side wall element has a plurality of cover flaps at an upper end of the further side wall, which are articulatedly connected to the further side wall and are folded inwards into a plane of the cover wall and are glued to the cover wall.

[0061] According to at least one embodiment, the lid wall has a plurality of lid flaps on an outer edge, which are articulated to the lid wall and are folded downwards or upwards perpendicular to a plane of the lid wall and are glued to the further side wall.

[0062] According to at least one embodiment, the lid wall is arranged offset downwards with respect to an upper edge of the further side wall, so that an area is formed between the lid wall and the upper edge of the further side wall, bounded by a part of the further side wall projecting beyond the lid wall.

[0063] In other words, the lid wall does not form an upper boundary of the lid, but rather the further side wall extends beyond the lid wall.

[0064] This is particularly advantageous when several round cans according to the invention are stacked in the closed state, since the part of the further side wall extending beyond the lid wall then forms a lateral boundary for the respective upper round can, in particular its side wall. This prevents the stacked round cans from slipping or falling relative to each other.

[0065] According to a further aspect of the invention, a further set is specified, comprising a round can and a further round container according to the invention. The round can and the further round container can be stacked on top of each other when the receiving space of the round can is closed, such that, in a stacked state, a lower edge of the side wall of the further round container is located within the area defined by the further side wall of the round can.

[0066] The additional round container can be part of another round container according to the invention. However, this is not necessarily the case.

[0067] According to a further aspect of the invention, a cutting set for the production of a round container according to the invention is provided. The cutting set comprises a first cut for forming the side wall element and at least one second cut for forming the bottom wall.

[0068] In particular, the first cutout features the side wall and the side flaps that fold out from the side wall. The first cutout also features numerous bottom flaps.

[0069] Further embodiments of the cutting set according to the invention follow directly from the various configurations of the round container according to the invention, and vice versa. In particular, individual features and corresponding explanations as well as advantages relating to the various configurations of the round container according to the invention can be transferred analogously to corresponding configurations of the cutting set according to the invention.

[0070] According to a further aspect of the invention, a further cutting set for the production of a round container according to the invention is provided. This further cutting set comprises a cutting set according to the invention for the production of a round container according to the invention, as well as at least one further cutting element for the production of the lid.

[0071] For example, at least one further cut has a third cut to form the further side wall element and at least one fourth cut to form the lid wall.

[0072] Further embodiments of the additional cutting set according to the invention follow directly from the various configurations of the round can according to the invention, and vice versa. In particular, individual features and corresponding explanations as well as advantages relating to the various configurations of the round can according to the invention can be transferred analogously to corresponding configurations of the additional cutting set according to the invention.

[0073] Further features of the invention are evident from the claims, the figures, and the description of the figures. The features and combinations of features mentioned above in the description, as well as those mentioned below in the description of the figures and / or illustrated in the figures, may be encompassed by the invention not only in the combinations specified, but also in other combinations. 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.

[0074] 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.

[0075] The figures show Fig. 1 schematic representations of an exemplary embodiment of a round container according to the invention; Fig. 2 a schematic representation of an exemplary embodiment of a set according to the invention with two round containers; Fig. 3 a schematic representation of an exemplary embodiment of a round can according to the invention; Fig. 4 a schematic representation of a further exemplary embodiment of a round can according to the invention; Fig. 5 a schematic representation of an exemplary embodiment of a cutting set according to the invention for the production of a round container; and Fig. 6 a schematic representation of cutouts for the production of a lid of an exemplary embodiment of a round can according to the invention.

[0076] In Fig. Figure 1 schematically shows an exemplary embodiment of a round container 1 according to the invention in side view (top) and top view (bottom).

[0077] The circular container 1 has a bottom wall 2, in particular a circular bottom wall 2. The circular container 1 also has a side wall element 3 connected to the bottom wall 2, with a conical side wall 4. A vertical axis of the circular container runs perpendicular to the bottom wall 2. The bottom wall is arranged, for example, in an xy-plane of a Cartesian coordinate system such that the vertical axis runs parallel to the z-axis of the Cartesian coordinate system. For example, the vertical axis passes through a center point of the bottom wall 2.

[0078] Since the side wall 4 is conical, the side wall 4 forms an angle α with the bottom wall 2 that is greater than 90°, for example 94°-105°.

[0079] The round container 1 has a receiving space 5 for receiving goods. The receiving space 5 is laterally bounded by the side wall 4 and on one underside of the round container 1 by the bottom wall 2, whereas it is open at the top. In other words, the round container 1 has an opening on one of its upper sides, opposite the underside, for placing the goods into the receiving space 5.

[0080] The side wall element 3 has at least two side flaps 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d that fold outwards from the side wall 4, wherein in the variant of Fig. 1 For example, four side tabs 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d are provided. The side tabs 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d are arranged, for example, in a uniformly distributed manner in the circumferential direction of the side wall 4.

[0081] In the presentation of the Fig. 1. The side flaps 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d are each folded out maximally from the side wall 4, i.e. parallel or substantially parallel to the bottom wall 2.

[0082] The side tabs 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d are each hinged to the side wall 4 via a corresponding bending line 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d. Furthermore, the side tabs 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d are each separated from the side wall by one or more cutting or punching lines 25a, 25b, 25c, 25d. Ultimately, each of the side tabs 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d is defined by the corresponding bending line 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d and the corresponding one or more cutting or punching lines 25a, 25b, 25c, 25d. When the side flaps 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d are unfolded, corresponding openings 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d are formed in the side wall 4. If the side wall 4 is designed with two or more layers, it may also be provided that the side flaps 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d are not formed by all layers of the side wall 4 but only by the outermost layer or several outermost layers.

[0083] The unfolded side flaps 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d serve, for example, as spacers when several round containers according to the invention are nested, as schematically shown in Fig. Figure 2 shows that a set 13 according to the invention comprises at least two round containers according to the invention. An upper round container with side wall 4 and bottom wall 2 is inserted from above into the receiving space of a lower round container with side wall 4' and bottom wall 2', with the side flaps 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d of the upper round container being unfolded. The upper edge of the side wall 4' of the lower round container therefore abuts the side flaps 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d of the upper round container from below, so that the upper round container does not completely enter the lower round container, but a gap 8 remains between the two bottom walls 2, 2'. This simplifies the singulation of the nested round containers.

[0084] The Fig. Figure 3 shows an exemplary embodiment of a round container 14 according to the invention, which has a round container 1 according to the invention and a lid 9 that closes the receiving chamber 5. The lid 9 has a lid wall 10 which, when the receiving chamber 5 is closed, is parallel to the bottom wall 2, and a further side wall element with a further side wall 11 which is perpendicular to the lid wall 10.

[0085] In some embodiments of the round container 14, the unfolded side flaps 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d now serve to fix the lid 9 to the round container 1. For this purpose, at least two locking areas 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d formed by recesses or indentations are provided on an inner side of the further side wall 11, which are positioned and designed such that the at least two side flaps 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, in the position folded out from the side wall 4, each lock into one of the at least two locking areas 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d.

[0086] In the embodiment of the Fig. 3. The further side wall 11 extends downwards from the lid wall 10. As in Fig. In other embodiments, however, the lid wall 10 is arranged offset downwards with respect to the upper edge of the further side wall 11, so that an area is formed between the lid wall 10 and the upper edge of the further side wall 11, defined by a portion of the further side wall 11 projecting beyond the lid wall 10. If another round container according to the invention, which may also be part of another round can according to the invention, is placed on the round can 14, in particular on the lid wall 10, the portion of the further side wall 11 projecting beyond the lid wall 10 limits the lateral movement of the further round container and prevents it from falling.

[0087] Fig. Figure 5 shows a schematic representation of an exemplary embodiment of a cutting set 15 according to the invention for the production of a round container 1 according to the invention. The cutting set 15 has a first cut 16 for forming the side wall element 3 and a second cut 18a for forming the bottom wall 2.

[0088] The first blank 16 has a portion corresponding to the side wall 4, as well as, for example, a plurality of bottom tabs 17 on one side of the side wall 4, which faces the underside of the round container 1. The bottom tabs 17 are hinged to the side wall 4, for example via corresponding bending lines 24a, 24b, 24c, 14d. The first blank 16 may also have an adhesive tab 22. The second blank 18a is, for example, circular and represents the bottom wall 2 or a layer of the bottom wall 2.

[0089] To manufacture the round container 1, the first blank 16 with its side wall 4 is placed onto a conical outer surface of a mold body and pressed down so that the conical shape of the side wall 4 is formed. Glue is applied to the adhesive tab 22, and the adhesive tab 22 is then glued to the side wall 4, thus fixing the shape of the side wall.

[0090] The molded body can have corresponding punches which push the side tabs 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d outwards.

[0091] The bottom flaps 17 are folded inwards by 90°. A bead of glue is applied to the second blank 18a, for example in a circular pattern. The second blank 18a is then pressed onto the folded-over bottom flaps 17 with the glue bead in place. The second blank 18a then forms, in particular, a lower outer layer of the bottom wall 2.

[0092] Optionally, a further second blank 18b can be provided, which is pressed onto the folded-over bottom flaps 17 inside the receiving space 5, so that the bottom flaps 17 are ultimately located between the second blank 18a and the further second blank 18b. If necessary, no further application of glue is required to attach the further second blank 18b, provided that a sufficient quantity of glue is applied to the second blank 18a to also bond the further second blank 18b.

[0093] Fig. Figure 6 shows a cutting set 19 for producing a lid 9 of an exemplary embodiment of a round can 14 according to the invention. The cutting set 19 has a third cut 20 for forming the further side wall 11, as well as a fourth cut 21a for forming the lid wall 10.

[0094] The third cut shows in the example of the Fig.Figure 6 shows two layers 11a, 11b connected to each other via a bending line, which are folded and placed on top of each other during the manufacture of the lid 9. The two layers 11a, 11b can be glued together, for example along adhesive lines 26. An inner layer 11b of the two layers 11a, 11b can, for example, have the recesses that form the locking areas 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d. In addition, the third cut-out can have adhesive tabs 23, 24 to fix the cylindrical shape of the further side wall 11.

[0095] The fourth cut 21a, for example, has the cover wall 10 and a plurality of cover flaps 27 on an outer edge of the cover wall 10. The cover flaps 27 are hinged to the cover wall 10, for example via corresponding bending lines, and can be folded perpendicular to a plane of the cover wall 10 for attachment to the further side wall 11, so that they can be glued to the further side wall 11, in particular on the inside of the further side wall 11.

[0096] Optionally, a further fourth cutout 21b can be provided, which is pressed from the inside onto the folded-over lid flaps 27, so that ultimately the lid flaps 27 are located between the fourth cutout 21a and the further fourth cutout 21b.
