Description

[0001] The invention relates to a stackable packaging container according to the preamble of claim 1. Although the generic packaging container can certainly meet a variety of manufacturing and usage problems, the present invention aims to create a packaging container according to the preamble of claim 1, the design of which makes it possible to adapt different erecting machines to the design of the packaging container according to the invention without major technical problems and, accordingly, without major financial expenditure.

[0002] This problem is solved by the features of claim 1.

[0003] The packaging container according to the invention is in particular designed as a stackable packaging container, although this is not absolutely necessary.

[0004] The packaging container designed according to the principles of the present invention has four side walls which, together with a bottom wall, form a receiving space for the packaging and shipping of objects and goods. The packaging container according to the invention, which is also referred to as a carton or cardboard box, preferably has four stacking corners in the end regions between adjacent side walls. According to the invention, two stacking lugs are provided on each of the side walls forming the longitudinal sides, adjacent to the stacking corners of one side wall and two adjacent to the stacking corners of the other side wall, which can engage in stacking recesses of the packaging container according to the invention when stacked.

[0005] The dependent claims contain advantageous further developments of the invention.

[0006] In particular, it is advantageous to arrange a stacking rib between the stacking lugs and to provide another stacking rib between a further pair of stacking lugs, which are arranged on the respective associated side walls.

[0007] Furthermore, stacking recesses are preferably provided in the bottom wall of the packaging container according to the invention, which are each arranged below the stacking lugs in the bottom wall.

[0008] Accordingly, it is possible to stack packaging containers of the previously described design on top of each other in a simple manner, since when stacking, the stacking corners of one of the two longitudinal sides, which form the corresponding side walls, can be provided adjacent to the stacking corners of one side wall, and two stacking lugs arranged adjacent to the stacking corners of the other side wall can be provided, which can engage in the respective stacking recesses when the packaging containers according to the invention are stacked, and thus ensure the stackability of even a large number of packaging containers according to the invention.

[0009] It is preferably provided that a stacking rib is arranged on the respective associated side walls between each pair of stacking noses.

[0010] In this case, the stacking recesses are preferably arranged in the bottom wall of the packaging container according to the invention, specifically below the respective stacking lugs, so that when stacking a plurality of packaging containers according to the invention, the stacking lugs can automatically engage in the assigned stacking recesses, thus enabling secure stacking of all packaging containers into a unit that is particularly easy to handle and, above all, easy to transport.

[0011] Further details, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of embodiments of the invention with reference to the drawing. The drawing shows: Fig. 1 a schematically simplified perspective view of a packaging container according to the invention, and Fig. 2 a slightly simplified top view of the packaging container according to Fig. 1.

[0012] From a synthesis of Fig. 1 and Fig. Figure 2 illustrates the structure of a possible embodiment of the packaging container 1 according to the invention, which is designed in particular as a stackable packaging container.

[0013] The packaging container 1 has four side walls 2, 3, 4 and 5 which, together with a bottom wall 6, define a receiving space 7 for objects for packaging and shipping.

[0014] Furthermore, the packaging container 1 according to the present invention has four stacking corners 8, 9, 10 and 11 in end regions 12, 13, 14 and 15, each between adjacent side walls 2, 3; 3, 4; 4, 5 and 5, 2.

[0015] Furthermore, a summary of the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, that on the side walls 3, 5 forming the longitudinal sides, two stacking lugs 16, 17 and 18, 19 respectively are provided adjacent to the stacking corners 8, 9 of side wall 3 and two stacking lugs 18, 19 respectively adjacent to the stacking corners 10, 11 of the other side wall 5, which can engage in stacking recesses 20, 21 and 22, 23 respectively when stacking, which can be seen in particular from the top view of the Fig. 2 opens up.

[0016] Furthermore, a review of the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, that a stacking web 24 is arranged between the stacking lugs 16, 17 and a stacking web 25 is arranged between the stacking lugs 18, 19 on the respective associated side walls 3 and 5.

[0017] Furthermore, it can be seen in particular from the top view of the Fig.2, that the stacking recesses 20, 21 in the base wall 6 are arranged below the stacking lugs 16, 17 and the stacking recesses 22, 23 in the base wall 6 are arranged below the stacking lugs 18, 19. This ensures that when two packaging containers according to the invention are stacked on top of each other, the respective stacking lugs 16, 17 and 18, 19 can engage in the associated stacking recesses 20, 21 and 22, 23, respectively, to enable a secure and easily transportable assembly of any number of packaging containers according to the invention, which is easy to assemble, easy and safe to transport, and equally easy to disassemble.

[0018] In addition to the above written description of the invention, explicit reference is hereby made to the graphic representation of the invention in the figures for its supplementary disclosure.
