Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a blank for manufacturing a container for storing goods, in particular for manufacturing a folding box made of cardboard, paper, or the like, wherein the blank is formed in one piece. The present invention further relates to a container for storing goods manufactured from said blank, comprising a container body, wherein the container body includes a bottom wall and outer side walls surrounding the bottom wall to form a receiving space, and the receiving space is divided into at least two receiving areas, the division being effected by means of internal walls arranged in the receiving space.

[0002] Containers and blanks for manufacturing containers of the type mentioned above are known in great variety. For example, DE 20 305 912 U1 describes a tray-like container made of cardboard, paper, or the like, wherein the container is manufactured from a single blank and has a base defined by bend lines with side surfaces integrally connected via the bend lines to form a receiving space for goods. Subdivisions of the receiving space are not provided here. However, it is also known that such receiving spaces can be further subdivided by means of separately manufactured inserts. Such inserts are usually made of paper or cardboard. These inserts do not contribute to the overall stability of the container structure. Moreover, at least two separate elements are required for their manufacture. An additional lid element would also have to be manufactured separately.A comparable container is also known from WO 2009 / 019623 A1.

[0003] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a blank for the manufacture of a container of the type mentioned at the outset, as well as a corresponding container, which are easy and inexpensive to manufacture and also ensure increased stability of the container.

[0004] The stated problems are solved by a blank with the features of claim 1 and by a container with the features of claim 11. Advantageous embodiments of the blank and the container according to the invention are described in the respective dependent claims. Advantageous embodiments of the blank are to be considered advantageous embodiments of the container and vice versa.

[0005] A first aspect of the invention relates to a blank for manufacturing 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 top wall. Two outer side walls and two inner wall elements are arranged in rows in lower, middle, and upper wall strips, respectively. An inner wall element of the lower wall strip is pivotally connected to an adjacent inner wall element of the middle wall strip via a fold line.Furthermore, 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 pivotally 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 inner wall element pairs. In addition, the bottom wall is connected to the outer side wall of the lower wall strip, and the top 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 the manufacture of a container in which, through the clever arrangement and connection of outer side walls and inner wall elements in different wall strips, a division of the interior into at least two areas is made possible.The design ensures cost-effective and material-saving container production. Firstly, the one-piece construction of the blank allows for efficient and economical container manufacturing. Secondly, the compartmentalized interior of the container offers advantages for organizing and storing goods, as separate sections can be created for different items. The fold lines can be defined as creasing lines, scoring lines, perforation lines, and / or a combination of a bend line and a cut line. The term "bend line" encompasses all lines that allow elements of the container or blank to be bent relative to each other along a defined path, such as fold, scoring, or creasing lines, or a combination thereof. A bend line can be created, for example, by grooves or slots in the container material.Grooves can be created, for example, using laser energy.

[0006] 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 means of cut lines in the areas of the adjacent outer side walls and the inner wall elements not connected via the fold lines. In other words, the lower, middle, and upper wall strips are separated by cuts at the edges of the opposing outer side walls and the unconnected inner wall elements. This enables simple and cost-effective production of the blank.

[0007] In a further advantageous embodiment of the inventive blank, 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 inventive blank makes it possible to design a cost-effective and material-saving container. The connection of the wall elements via bending lines enables a stable construction of the container to be manufactured, without the need for additional materials or complex manufacturing processes. Furthermore, the container produced in this way can be flexibly adapted to different requirements by being divided into at least two compartments, for example, for storing different goods.

[0008] In a further advantageous embodiment of the blank according to the invention, at least one inner wall element has an adhesive tab hinged via a bending line for connection with a corresponding further inner wall element and for forming receiving areas when the blank is folded. In particular, the adhesive tab can then be attached to an inner side of the inner wall elements, this inner side being oriented towards the receiving area of ​​the container when the blank is folded. Several advantages can be achieved by this arrangement of the adhesive tabs on the inner side of the inner wall elements. Firstly, the attachment on the inner side ensures that the adhesive tabs cannot be damaged or bent during use of the container, which increases the overall stability and durability of the container.On the other hand, this arrangement allows for a space-saving construction of the container, since the adhesive tabs do not protrude outwards from the container and therefore do not require any additional space.

[0009] 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 a detachable or permanent connection of 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, thus enabling flexible adaptation to various usage requirements. Furthermore, it is possible that plug-in and / or adhesive tabs are arranged on the bottom wall via bending lines for a detachable or permanent connection of the bottom wall to the container body. This also allows for flexible adaptation to various usage requirements of the container manufactured from the blank.Furthermore, the base wall can form a base of the prismatic body, and this base can be polygonal, specifically triangular, quadrilateral, pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal, octagonal, decagonal, or dodecagonal. The fact that the base can be polygonal offers additional advantages. Firstly, the number of sides can be chosen as needed, allowing the custom-cut container to be adapted to various applications. Secondly, the polygonal shape provides increased stability to the container.

[0010] In a further advantageous embodiment of the blank according to the invention, at least one retaining tab is formed on the bottom wall and / or the lid wall, wherein the retaining tab projects beyond the container body when the blank is folded and the container is closed. The retaining tabs advantageously ensure that the bottom wall and / or the lid wall of the container produced from the blank rests securely against the container body.

[0011] The container can be made from cardboard, corrugated board, paper, plastic, or a combination of these materials. In particular, the use of cardboard and / or paper contributes to a sustainable, resource-efficient, and therefore ecologically desirable production process. The use of plastic can also be largely or completely avoided.

[0012] A second aspect of the invention relates to a container for storing goods manufactured using a blank according to the first aspect of the invention. The container comprises a container body, the container body having 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, the division being effected by means of inner walls arranged within the receiving space. According to the invention, the inner walls are double-walled, such that two inner wall elements lie against each other 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 manufactured from a single blank. In other words, the invention relates to a goods container whose receiving space is divided into at least two areas.This compartmentalization allows for more efficient and organized storage of different types of goods. The container's inner walls are double-walled, ensuring added stability and durability. The advantage of using a single-piece blank is that it enables cost-effective and efficient manufacturing while minimizing material waste.

[0013] In an advantageous embodiment of the container according to the invention, the container has at least one inner wall element with an adhesive tab hinged via a bending line. This adhesive tab serves to connect to a corresponding further inner wall element, thereby forming the respective receiving areas of the container. This embodiment offers several advantages. First, the use of inner wall elements with adhesive tabs enables cost-effective and material-saving manufacturing of the container. The inner wall elements can be easily and quickly joined together, simplifying and accelerating the production process. Furthermore, dividing the receiving space into at least two areas allows for flexible use of the container.Depending on requirements, the interior wall elements, or the interior walls constructed from them, can be arranged to create storage areas of varying sizes and shapes. This makes the container versatile and allows for optimal use of the available space.

[0014] In a further advantageous embodiment of the container according to the invention, the adhesive tabs are arranged on an inner surface facing the receiving area of ​​the respective inner wall element. In other words, the adhesive tabs are attached to the inner surface of the inner wall elements, with this inner surface oriented towards the receiving area. This arrangement of the adhesive tabs on the inner surface of the inner wall elements offers several advantages. Firstly, the inner attachment ensures that the adhesive tabs cannot be damaged or bent during use of the container, thus increasing the overall stability and durability of the container. Secondly, this arrangement allows for a space-saving design of the container, since the adhesive tabs do not protrude from the container and therefore do not require any additional space.

[0015] 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 articulated together. This embodiment of the container according to the invention offers technical advantages, as the container for storing goods can be manufactured simply and with minimal material usage. For example, it is possible to form the container bottom and the outer side wall in a single step, which saves time and costs.

[0016] In a further advantageous embodiment of the container according to the invention, it comprises a lid wall, wherein the lid wall is pivotally connected to an outer side wall via a bending line. In other words, the container has a lid wall that is connected to an adjacent outer side wall of the container by bending at the corresponding point. Advantageously, this makes it possible to form the lid wall and 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.

[0017] Furthermore, the lid can be fitted with snap-fit ​​and / or adhesive tabs along bend lines for a detachable or permanent connection to the container body. These tabs can be bent along the bend lines to create a detachable or permanent connection, allowing for flexible adaptation to various usage requirements. A detachable connection allows the lid to be removed and reattached as needed, facilitating access to the container's contents. A permanent connection, on the other hand, ensures a secure and stable bond between the lid and the container body, which is particularly advantageous for storing or transporting sensitive items. The permanent connection can only be broken with considerable force.This completely destroys the locking mechanism, making it impossible to securely reclose the container. Furthermore, the damage to the locking mechanism is clearly visible, indicating that the container has already been opened.

[0018] 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 along bend lines for a detachable or non-detachable connection of 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 bend lines to create a connection with the container body, which includes the possibility of a detachable or non-detachable connection. This arrangement of the plug-in and adhesive tabs on the bottom wall of the container results in numerous technical advantages. First of all, attaching the bottom wall to the container body via tabs simplifies the manufacture of the container, since it can be produced from a single blank.Furthermore, this design contributes to the container's stability by connecting the bottom wall to the rest of the container, thus preventing the side walls from falling apart or collapsing. In addition, the option of a detachable connection offers flexibility in disassembling and reusing the container or replacing individual components, ultimately contributing to cost savings and resource conservation. A non-detachable connection, on the other hand, can only be broken with considerable force. This completely destroys the locking mechanism, making secure resealing of the container impossible. Moreover, the damage to the locking mechanism is clearly visible, indicating that the container has already been opened.

[0019] In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, at least one pair of inner wall elements is articulated to be connected to one another via a folding 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 provided to consist of a single-piece blank comprising at least two inner wall elements connected to one another by a folding line, in particular a creasing line, scoring line, or perforation line, and thus allowing them to be folded relative to each other. This advantageously makes it possible to achieve a very stable, namely double-walled, partition of the container's receiving space. Furthermore, the articulated connection of the inner wall elements enables the simple manufacture of the container from a single, one-piece blank.

[0020] In further advantageous embodiments of the container according to the invention, the container is designed in the form of a prismatic body along a longitudinal axis. In other words, the container has the shape of a prism and thus has parallel side faces and a clearly defined longitudinal axis. This design makes it possible to manufacture the container cost-effectively and with minimal material usage, since prismatic bodies are easier to produce than other geometries. Furthermore, the prismatic shape facilitates the division of the interior into at least two compartments, which corresponds to the purpose of the invention and offers additional value. By designing the container as a prismatic body, optimal space utilization can be achieved, allowing more goods to be stored in the same volume. This shape also improves the stackability of the container.The longitudinal axis serves as a reference for the interior layout, thus enabling an organized arrangement of goods. Furthermore, the base wall can form the base of the prismatic body, and this base can be polygonal, specifically triangular, quadrilateral, pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal, octagonal, decagonal, or dodecagonal. The polygonal base offers additional advantages. Firstly, the number of sides can be selected as needed, allowing the container to be adapted to various applications. Secondly, the polygonal shape provides increased stability to the container.

[0021] 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 projects beyond the container body when the container is closed. The retaining tabs advantageously ensure a secure fit of the bottom wall and / or the lid wall against the container body.

[0022] 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 generally manufactured from a flat sheet of cardboard or corrugated board, which is transformed into a three-dimensional container by simple folding and gluing. The folding box design makes it possible to divide the container's storage space into at least two compartments, 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 an improved variety of materials. 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 container made of plastic may exhibit greater stability. By combining materials, the specific advantages of each material can be utilized.

[0023] Further features and their advantages can be found in the descriptions of the first aspect of the invention, whereby 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.

[0024] Furthermore, additional features of the invention become apparent from the claims, the exemplary embodiments, and the drawings. The features and combinations of features mentioned above in the description, as well as those subsequently mentioned in the exemplary embodiments, can be used not only in the combinations specified but also in other combinations without departing from the scope of the invention. The drawings show... Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a container according to the invention in a closed state; Figure 2 is a schematic representation of the container according to the invention. Figure 1 in a partially open state; Figure 3 a schematic representation of the container according to the invention Figure 1 from below in a partially open state; Figure 4 a schematic representation of a blank according to the invention for manufacturing the container according to one of the Figures 1 to 3; and Figure 5 a schematic representation of a cut according to the invention in a second embodiment.

[0025] The Figure 1 Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a container 10. The container 10 serves to store goods of any kind. The container 10 comprises a container body 12, the container body 12 having 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 Figure 1). Fig. 2 The container 10 also includes a lid wall 62, wherein the lid wall 62 is articulated to the outer side wall 18 via a bending line 68. In Overview with the Fig. 2It can be seen that on the lid wall 62, plug-in tabs 34a, 36a, 38a, 40a, 42a are arranged via corresponding bending lines 70a to 70e for the detachable connection of the lid wall 62 to the container body 12. Furthermore, it becomes clear that the receiving chamber 28 is divided into three receiving areas 28a, 28b, 28c. This division is achieved by means of internal walls 30, 31, 32 arranged in the receiving chamber 28. In addition, in conjunction with the Fig. 2 , which is a schematic representation of container 10 according to Fig. 1 In a partially open 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 each adjacent to one another. 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, from Fig. 4It becomes clear that container 10 is made from a single piece of blank 100.

[0026] Furthermore, the overall picture of the Figure 1 and 2 It is clear that the interior wall elements 44, 52, 56 (see also Fig. 4 ) each has an adhesive tab 46, 54, 58 hinged via a bending line 64a, 64b, 64c for connection with 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 and connected to an inner side of the respective inner wall element 48, 50, 60 that faces into the respective receiving area 28a, 28b, 28c.

[0027] In the area opposite the lid wall 62, the bottom wall 14 is hinged to the outer side wall 16 via a bending line 66. Furthermore, it is evident that the bottom wall 14 also has tabs 34, 36, 38, 40, 42 (see also Fig. 4) via corresponding bending lines 72a, 72b, 72c, 72d, 72e for the detachable connection of the bottom wall 14 with the container body 12.

[0028] Furthermore, it can be seen that several retaining tabs 78, 82 are formed on the bottom wall 14 and the lid wall 62, whereby the retaining tabs 78, 82 project beyond the container body 12 when the container 10 is closed. From the Figure 1 and 2 It also becomes clear 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 of the prismatic body and is hexagonal in the illustrated embodiment. The same applies to the lid wall 62.

[0029] The inner wall element pairs 48, 50; 52, 56 (see Figures 2 and 4The inner wall element pairs 48, 50; 52, 56 are hingedly connected to each other via fold lines 74, 76. This allows the inner wall element pairs 48, 50; 52, 56 to lie against each other and to form the double-walled structure of the inner walls 30 and 31. The double-walled structure of the inner wall 32 is formed by the inner wall elements 44, 60 lying against each other, whereby the inner wall elements 44, 60 are not connected to each other 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.

[0030] 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 that the container 10 is made of other materials or material combinations, for example, corrugated cardboard, paper, plastic, or a corresponding combination of these materials.

[0031] Figure 3shows a schematic representation of container 10 according to the Fig. 1 From below in a partially open state. It can again be seen that the container 10 comprises the bottom wall 14 and the top wall 62. The bottom wall 14 is hinged to the container body 12 via the bending line 66, and the top wall 62 via the bending line 68. Furthermore, the arrangement of the retaining tabs 78, 82 on the bottom wall 14 and the top wall 62, respectively, is clearly shown. The locking tabs 34a, 42a of the top wall 62 are shown as an example.

[0032] The in the Figures 1 to 3 The depicted bending lines are most clearly visible in conjunction with the Fig. 4 , which is a schematic representation of the blank 100 for the manufacture of the container 10 according to the Figures 1 to 3 The illustrated embodiments are recognizable. In particular, the folding or bending directions of the individual elements relative to each other are indicated by the Figures 1 to 3 clearly.

[0033] Figure 4This 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 when the blank 100 is folded, and the top wall 62. It is evident 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 articulatedly 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 located 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. It can also be seen that the bottom wall 14 is connected to the outer side wall 16 of the lower wall strip 102, and the top wall 62 is connected to the outer side wall 22 of the upper wall strip 104, each via the bend lines 66, 68.

[0034] Furthermore, it can be seen that the lower, middle, and upper wall strips 102, 106, 104 are separated from each other by means of cut 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, which are not connected via the fold lines 74, 76. It is evident that the two outer side walls 16, 18; 20, 22; 24, 26 and the 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 each other by bend lines 86a, 86b, 86c; 88a, 88b, 88c; 90a, 90b, 90c. The arrangement of these bending lines in three-dimensional space, that is, in the folded state of the blank 100, can also be seen in the representations of the container 10 in the Figures 1 to 3The fold lines 74 and 76 mentioned can be designed as crease lines, scoring lines, perforation lines, and / or as a combination of a bend line and a cutting line.

[0035] Out of Fig. 4 It also becomes clear 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 with a corresponding inner wall element 48, 50, 60 and for forming the in Fig. 2The depicted receiving areas 28a, 28b, 28c are present in the folded state of the blank 100. The adhesive tabs 46, 54, 58 are separated from each other by cutting lines 94, 96. Furthermore, it is evident that the plug-in tabs 34a, 36a, 38a, 40a, 42a formed on the lid wall 62 are arranged via corresponding bending lines 70a, 70b, 70c, 70d, 70e for the detachable connection of 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 via bending lines 72a, 72b, 72c, 72d, 72e for the detachable connection of the bottom wall 14 with the container body 12. Fig. 4It is also evident that both the base wall 14 and the cover wall 62 have a hexagonal base. Furthermore, retaining tabs 78 and 82 are formed on the base wall 14 and the cover wall 62. The extent and design of the retaining tabs 78 are shown by the corresponding section lines 80. It can be seen that the section lines 80 project into the area of ​​the plug-in tabs 36, 38, and 40. The same applies to the design of the retaining tabs 82, whose shape is formed by the section lines 84, which in turn project into or run into the respective plug-in tabs 36a, 38a, and 40a of the cover wall 62.

[0036] Figure 5 Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a blank 100 according to a second embodiment. This blank basically corresponds to the one in the Fig. 4The described blank 100 according to the first embodiment. Therefore, with regard to the description of the blank 100 according to the second embodiment, reference is made to the description of the blank 100 according to the first embodiment. In contrast to the first embodiment, the blank 100 in the second embodiment has a different design. Fig. 5 The illustrated blank 100 has no retaining tabs on the bottom wall 14 and the lid wall 62. Furthermore, the blank 100 is designed such that the resulting container is more compact overall. 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.
