Abstract

A presentation arrangement (13) for presenting a door cylinder (81), in particular a double cylinder or a knob cylinder, comprises a packaging (15), in particular a cardboard packaging or carton packaging, which has a receptacle (17) for the door cylinder, wherein the receptacle has a fastening opening (39) on an outer wall (37) through which a fastening means for fixing the door cylinder in the receptacle can be passed and in particular screwed into a faceplate screw bore (69) of the inserted door cylinder, wherein the packaging comprises a stabilizing device (47) for stabilizing the fixing of the door cylinder in the receptacle by the inserted fastening means.

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a presentation arrangement for displaying a door cylinder, in particular a double cylinder or a knob cylinder, comprising packaging which has a receptacle for the door cylinder.

[0002] Door cylinders are used in door locks, for example, in a mortise lock on a door leaf to either lock the door against unauthorized opening or allow it to be opened. A door cylinder typically has a cylinder core that can be rotated with a key. This core contains several pins. When a key is inserted into a keyway in the cylinder core, springs in the housing pins align them with corresponding pins, allowing the cylinder core to rotate. If the key is not inserted, the housing pins engage with corresponding holes in the cylinder core, preventing rotation.

[0003] Door cylinders can also be designed as double cylinders, allowing them to be operated from both sides of the door leaf into which the cylinder is installed, using a key. Furthermore, a knob cylinder design is also possible, where such a cylinder is operated by a rotating knob on one side, while the opposite side requires a key. For example, such a knob cylinder can be used to lock or unlock a front door from the inside of the house by turning the knob, whereas the corresponding key may be required to operate the cylinder from the outside.

[0004] Therefore, door cylinders exist in numerous variations and require different configurations and dimensions to accommodate door leaves of varying thicknesses. When presenting door cylinders for sale, manufacturers strive to provide a way to view the cylinder, allowing users to immediately see or at least estimate its length without having to search for information on the packaging. This can be achieved, for example, by inserting the cylinder into transparent, opaque compartments within the packaging. These compartments hold the cylinder securely in place while simultaneously allowing a view of it. Blister packs with transparent plastic compartments for the cylinder are one such option.

[0005] However, only a limited selection of materials is available for such transparent recordings and packaging, meaning that the packaging cannot currently be made from sustainable materials and can only be manufactured using plastics. Furthermore, such plastic packaging is undesirably complex to produce and can also be difficult for the customer to handle when removing the door cylinder.

[0006] Therefore, it is an object of the invention to create a presentation arrangement for displaying a door cylinder, in whose packaging a door cylinder can be reliably received, wherein the packaging should at the same time provide a possibility to view the door cylinder from the outside and be made of sustainable materials and in a simple way.

[0007] This problem is solved by a presentation arrangement having the features of claim 1.

[0008] The packaging of the presentation device, which includes a receptacle for the door cylinder, can be designed, in particular, as cardboard packaging. Furthermore, the receptacle has a mounting opening on one outer wall through which a fastening element, in particular a screw, can be inserted to secure the door cylinder in the receptacle and, in particular, screwed into a faceplate screw hole of the inserted door cylinder. The packaging also includes a stabilizing device to stabilize the door cylinder's fixation in the receptacle by the inserted fastening element.

[0009] By designing the receptacle with a mounting opening on an outer wall, through which a fastening element can be passed and inserted into the receptacle to secure the door cylinder, the door cylinder can initially be fixed in the receptacle without having to be completely enclosed by the receptacle. This allows, in particular, the door cylinder to be securely held in the receptacle even if the receptacle is open at the side, for example, so that the door cylinder can extend laterally out of the receptacle.With such a configuration of the mounting, illustrated here as an example, the door cylinder, or at least a section of the door cylinder protruding laterally from the mounting, can be directly viewed from the outside. This allows, for example, a direct determination of the cylinder's dimensions or overall length based on the length of a section protruding from the mounting. This can, for instance, facilitate quick identification of a door cylinder required for a specific door leaf of a given thickness, particularly when several different door cylinders are displayed together on a shelf in various arrangements.Furthermore, the type of door cylinder, for example a double cylinder or a knob cylinder, can be identified directly based on sections protruding from the recess and / or not enclosed by the packaging, without having to study the packaging.

[0010] By equipping the presentation arrangement with a fixing device for securing the door cylinder in the receptacle, which may include the mounting opening and / or the fastening element, the receptacle does not necessarily have to be transparent. For example, sections of the door cylinder protruding from the receptacle can provide a direct view of the cylinder. Therefore, opaque materials can be used for the receptacle and / or the packaging as a whole, allowing for packaging made of cardboard or other sustainable materials. Furthermore, materials that are as easy to process as possible can be selected, which also improves the handling of the packaging for the customer or buyer.

[0011] However, with this type of door cylinder fixing in the receptacle, the inherent problem is that the fastening element passing through the mounting opening can be deflected by forces occurring, for example, during transport or when installing the display stand to present the door cylinder. This can transfer forces to the edges of the mounting opening. This, in turn, can damage these edges and cause the mounting opening to become loose, thus compromising the reliable and durable fixing of the door cylinder in the receptacle.

[0012] To prevent such impairment or weakening of the fixing, however, the presentation arrangement includes a stabilizing device designed to stabilize the fixing of the door cylinder in the receptacle of the packaging. In particular, such a stabilizing device can be designed to achieve more stable guidance of the fastening element compared to mere guidance through the fixing opening on the outer wall of the receptacle, as explained in more detail below.

[0013] Furthermore, the stabilizing device can, for example, be designed to provide an additional fixing element to stabilize the door cylinder. For instance, the stabilizing device can include an insert into which the door cylinder can be placed, after which the insert, along with the door cylinder, can be inserted into the receptacle and fixed therein. Such an insert can, for example, be used to ensure that the assembly formed by the door cylinder and the insert rests in a straight line against the outer wall of the receptacle, thereby minimizing the transmission of forces to the fastener that could cause it to deflect.

[0014] Furthermore, the stabilizing device can also include an additional fastening element to provide additional fixation and thus stabilization of the door cylinder within the receptacle. This could involve, for example, additionally gluing the door cylinder in place to fix it, for instance, on its underside, and thus minimize deflection of the door cylinder, which in turn could lead to deflection of the fastening element.

[0015] These possibilities will be explained in more detail below.

[0016] Furthermore, the presentation arrangement can, in principle, be formed by the packaging, into which the door cylinder can be inserted. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the presentation arrangement can also include the door cylinder itself, which can be inserted into the receptacle.

[0017] Further embodiments are explained in the dependent claims, the description and with reference to the figures.

[0018] In particular, in some embodiments the packaging may consist of cardboard and / or carton - apart from any adhesive material for bonding individual layers or strata of the packaging.

[0019] In some embodiments, the stabilizing device may not be visible from the outside – and especially not when the door cylinder is inserted into the receptacle. In particular, in such embodiments, the stabilizing device may be provided and / or attached to the packaging in such a way that it does not impair the presentation of the door cylinder and the packaging may appear unchanged from the outside compared to a presentation without a stabilizing device.

[0020] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the receptacle can be formed by a rear wall of the packaging. In such embodiments, the mounting opening, through which the fastening element for securing the door cylinder can be inserted into the receptacle, can be concealed from the front of the display arrangement or the packaging. The door cylinder can therefore be secured in a manner that does not impair its presentation.

[0021] In some embodiments, the stabilizing device may include an external wall reinforcement.

[0022] As explained above, one difficulty in fixing the door cylinder lies particularly in the fact that any deflection of the fastener can lead to damage to the edges of the mounting hole and / or the mounting hole itself, which can cause the mounting hole to become loose, for example. This, in turn, can impair the overall fixing of the door cylinder.

[0023] However, by providing an outer wall reinforcement in some embodiments, it is particularly possible to ensure that the fastener can be guided through a reinforced and / or thickened wall section compared to the outer wall alone, thereby achieving improved guidance and support of the fastener as it passes into the receptacle. Such a reinforced outer wall can, in particular, increase the resistance of the fastening opening to forces transmitted as a result of deflection of the fastener, thus preventing any damage to the fastening opening's boundary and consequently to the fastening opening itself.

[0024] In some embodiments, the outer wall reinforcement can be formed on an inner side of the recess facing the inserted door cylinder.

[0025] In such embodiments, the outer wall reinforcement can be concealed, in particular by the door cylinder inserted into the receptacle, so that the reinforcement is not visible from the outside and the presentation of the door cylinder is impaired. For example, the reinforcement may not be immediately apparent even when a customer or buyer examines the display and picks it up and / or rotates it. Rather, in such embodiments, the outer surface of the receptacle's outer wall, visible from the outside, may be smooth, although, for example, the head of a screw inserted into the mounting hole may be visible. In this respect, the method of fixing the door cylinder itself may be visible from the outside, but not the additional outer wall reinforcement.

[0026] In some embodiments, the outer wall can be formed by a first layer of packaging material which has the fastening opening. In such embodiments, the stabilizing device can further comprise a second layer of packaging material, acting as an outer wall reinforcement, which rests against the inside of the outer wall. This second layer can have a further fastening opening which may be aligned with the fastening opening of the first layer. The fastening means can therefore be passed through the fastening opening and the further fastening opening to secure the door cylinder.

[0027] Consequently, in such embodiments, the fastening element for securing the door cylinder can be guided not only through a single layer of the outer wall of the receptacle, but through two layers of packaging material, in order to achieve improved guidance and support of the fastening element. In particular, it can be provided that the second layer of packaging material extends only as a stabilizing section in the vicinity of the fastening opening, whereas a section of the outer wall of the receptacle further away from the fastening opening can consist of only one layer of packaging material. Alternatively, it is also possible that the entire outer wall is covered internally by a second layer of packaging material, in which case the outer wall of the receptacle can ultimately be described as having a two-layer design.

[0028] In some embodiments, the second layer can form a local outer wall reinforcement in a stabilizing section of the receptacle surrounding the mounting opening, whereas the receptacle in sections extending laterally beyond the stabilizing section can be limited by a single layer of the outer wall.

[0029] In some embodiments, the packaging can be provided flat in an initial state and can be transformed into a state of use by folding, whereby the second layer of packaging material can be brought into alignment with the first layer of packaging material by folding.

[0030] In particular, providing the packaging in a flat initial state can facilitate its simple manufacture, for example, by supplying it as a simple die-cut part that can then be folded into its final state. This subsequent folding and conversion to the final state can, in particular, create the recess for the door cylinder, allowing for its insertion. Furthermore, in some embodiments, sections of the packaging may be glued or bonded together in its final state to stabilize it.

[0031] Since the second layer of packaging material, starting from such a flat initial state, can also be brought into alignment with the first layer of packaging material by simply folding it during the process of transferring the packaging into its state of use, the desired outer wall reinforcement can be achieved in a simple way and by ultimately providing a single-piece packaging, without, for example, having to fix an additional component separately to the outer wall of the container as an outer wall reinforcement.

[0032] Therefore, in some embodiments, it may be provided that the packaging is supplied as an integral, one-piece component. In particular, the packaging may be designed to be formed without joining two originally separate components. As mentioned, this can be achieved, for example, by folding a package that is flat in its initial state.

[0033] In some embodiments, the second layer of packaging material can be folded down from a base section of the receptacle, on which the door cylinder inserted into the receptacle is supported at its underside, towards the outer wall. In such embodiments, the base section of the receptacle can therefore have an opening, particularly in the area from which the second layer is folded down to reinforce the outer wall. However, this opening can also be covered, particularly from above by the inserted door cylinder and from below by other components of the packaging, and therefore not be visible from the outside.

[0034] In some embodiments, the first layer can form a back wall of the packaging, and the second layer can be formed by a flap that can be folded open on an inside side of the receptacle facing the inserted door cylinder.

[0035] In particular, such a tab can be narrower than the overall width of the receptacle and / or the packaging to act as a stabilizing section, essentially providing local reinforcement to the outer wall of the receptacle where the mounting opening is located. Again, by positioning the tab on the inside of the receptacle, it can be ensured that the tab is not visible from the outside when the door cylinder is inserted, thus avoiding any disruption to the desired presentation of the door cylinder. Similarly, designing the first layer as a back wall of the packaging allows the fastening element to be inserted into the receptacle from the rear of the packaging, so that the fastening element and the method of fixation remain initially hidden when the door cylinder is displayed, for example, on a retailer's shelf.

[0036] In principle, however, some embodiments may also provide for the mounting opening to be formed on a front wall of the receptacle, so that the fixing can be carried out from the front of the packaging. In such embodiments, an outer wall reinforcement of the type described above may also be provided, whereby such outer wall reinforcement, in particular by forming a second layer on an inner side of the outer wall facing the door cylinder, may also be indistinguishable from the outside, so that the presentation of the door cylinder is again not impaired.

[0037] Alternatively or in addition to the aforementioned second layer and / or tab, the stabilizing device may, in some embodiments, also include a limiting reinforcement to strengthen the boundary of the mounting opening. For example, the stabilizing device may have a reinforcing ring, made of metal or plastic, which can be inserted and / or clipped into the mounting opening to reinforce the perimeter of the mounting opening. In such embodiments, the fastener can therefore be inserted into the receptacle through a reinforcing ring in order to transfer any forces to the reinforcing ring and prevent direct interaction with the boundary of the mounting opening.

[0038] In addition, as an alternative to folding over a flap or attaching a second layer of packaging material by folding, it may also be possible to glue a second layer of separate packaging material to the outer wall and especially its inside as reinforcement.

[0039] In some embodiments, the receptacle may have lateral openings through which the inserted door cylinder protrudes laterally from the receptacle, in particular on both sides.

[0040] As previously explained, the fixing of the door cylinder by the fastening device can, in particular, allow the door cylinder to protrude in this way, since the door cylinder does not need to be confined on all sides within the receptacle to prevent it from slipping out. Because the receptacle does not need to be completely closed, but can have lateral openings, the door cylinder inserted into the receptacle can protrude laterally, so that the door cylinder—or at least the portion protruding from the receptacle—can be directly viewed from the outside. This allows, for example, conclusions to be drawn about the dimensions or overall length of the door cylinder, as well as its type, based on the length of a portion protruding from the receptacle, especially the portions protruding on both sides of the receptacle.

[0041] In particular, it may be designed so that the door cylinder inserted into the receptacle protrudes from openings on both sides of the receptacle. In this respect, a section of the door cylinder may be visible on both sides of the receptacle when the cylinder is inserted. Accordingly, the receptacle may have two openings through which the inserted door cylinder can protrude.

[0042] In some embodiments, the receptacle can be limited by a rear wall of the packaging and a boundary section extending along a top and a front of the inserted door cylinder, the packaging also having a bottom section on which the door cylinder inserted into the receptacle can be supported on an underside.

[0043] In such embodiments, the limiting section can thus be designed so that it encloses the door cylinder in a belt-like manner, thereby holding it in the receptacle. Furthermore, the door cylinder can be enclosed or supported on four of its six sides by the rear wall and the bottom section, while still being able to extend out of the receptacle, for example, through open outer sides in some embodiments, so that the door cylinder, inserted into and fixed within the receptacle, can be recognized from the outside.

[0044] In some embodiments, a second mounting opening may be provided on a front wall of the receptacle opposite the outer wall, through which a second fastening element, in particular a second screw, and / or the fastening element for centering the door cylinder in the receptacle, may pass. A second fastening element may also be screwed into a faceplate screw hole of the inserted door cylinder.

[0045] In particular, such embodiments can thus provide for the door cylinder to be held on both sides in the receptacle by respective fastening means, in order to ensure that the door cylinder is precisely aligned. This can also enable, in particular, the most accurate and direct possible measurement of a dimension of the door cylinder in embodiments where the door cylinder protrudes laterally from the receptacle.

[0046] The mounting hole and / or the second mounting hole may, in particular, have a diameter corresponding to that of the screw hole.

[0047] Furthermore, a fastening element inserted through the fastening opening can, for example, be inserted or guided through a faceplate screw hole of the inserted door cylinder and into the second fastening opening in order to achieve a two-sided fixing of the door cylinder by a single fastening element.

[0048] In some embodiments, the packaging may have a display section arranged below the receiver in a state of use, which has a measuring scale for measuring the length of the inserted door cylinder.

[0049] In particular, such a display section with a measuring scale can allow the length of a door cylinder inserted into the receptacle and, if applicable, protruding laterally from the receptacle, to be read directly. In this respect, a viewer of the display can, for example, make a preliminary selection of a potentially suitable door cylinder for a specific application based on the visible cylinder. They can then use the measuring scale of the display to select a door cylinder of the appropriate dimensions by examining the packaging of the pre-selected cylinders more closely. This can thus enable a faster selection of a suitable door cylinder for a specific application from a range of different door cylinders presented in the respective display arrangements.

[0050] In some embodiments, the packaging may include a storage box for holding instructions for use and / or at least one key for the door cylinder, the storage box being located, in particular below the receptacle, in a state of use of the presentation arrangement.

[0051] Such a storage box allows any additional components required for the door cylinder to be stored neatly and reliably. Furthermore, the aforementioned display section with the measuring scale can be located on the front of the storage box. Positioning the storage box below the cylinder allows the door cylinder to be placed above the measuring scale, so that its length or dimensions can be easily read from the scale.

[0052] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the packaging can be placed on the base of the storage box. This can offer an alternative to hanging the packaging from the respective hanging openings, thus expanding the possibilities for presenting the door cylinder.

[0053] In general, the packaging can therefore be suspended and / or stood upright in some embodiments. To enable the packaging to be suspended, it can, in particular, have one or more, especially exactly one or exactly two, suspension openings arranged above the mounting point. Two laterally offset suspension openings can be provided, especially for long door cylinders to be presented, in order to prevent the suspended packaging from tipping over.

[0054] In some embodiments, the receptacle can be arranged centrally or off-center with respect to the longitudinal extent of the door cylinder inserted into the receptacle on the packaging.

[0055] In particular, the receptacle can be arranged on the packaging such that the mounting opening and / or a center point of the receptacle is aligned with a faceplate screw hole of a door cylinder to be inserted, and the door cylinder can be positioned within the packaging by insertion such that the center of gravity of the door cylinder, with respect to a longitudinal axis of the inserted door cylinder, lies in the center of the packaging. This can, in particular, make it possible to suspend the presentation from a centrally aligned suspension opening without the packaging tilting, whereby the arrangement of the receptacle can be adapted to a specific door cylinder and its center of gravity relative to the faceplate screw hole. The arrangement of the receptacle (central / off-center) can thus be adapted to the specific door cylinder to be inserted and presented.

[0056] In some embodiments, the stabilizing device may have an insert into which the door cylinder can be inserted, wherein the insert can be inserted into the receptacle of the packaging when the door cylinder is inserted, and wherein the insert has an insert mounting opening aligned with the mounting opening, into which the fastening element that can be passed through the mounting opening can be inserted.

[0057] In particular, the insert mounting opening can be aligned with the mounting opening when the insert is inserted into the receptacle, so that the insert can be fixed in the receptacle by passing the fastening means through it.

[0058] Furthermore, such an insert can function in particular as a shaping element to transform the arrangement of insert and inserted door cylinder from a shape of the door cylinder to a shape adapted to the receptacle and to achieve improved fixing of the door cylinder in the receptacle.

[0059] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the insert cannot extend laterally out of the receptacle. Therefore, in such embodiments, the insert can be designed to accommodate only a central section of the door cylinder positioned within the receptacle, without itself being visible outside the receptacle. An insert dimensioned in this way can thus be used and inserted into the receptacle without impairing the presentation of the door cylinder and, in particular, any sections of the door cylinder protruding from the receptacle.

[0060] In some embodiments, the door cylinder can have a cylinder shape with a core receiving section that is essentially circular in cross-section for receiving a rotatable cylinder core and a flange section projecting radially from the core receiving section for receiving at least one housing pin and at least one housing spring. The insert can have an insertion recess into which the flange section can be inserted with essentially no play, wherein, when the door cylinder is inserted, the insert extends perpendicularly to the flange section at least to the outermost section of the core receiving section that is perpendicular to the flange section. The insert can have a straight back wall with which the insert, when inserted into the receptacle, can be supported against the outer wall of the receptacle.

[0061] In particular, the insert effectively straightens the shape of the door cylinder, so that after inserting the cylinder into the insert, the entire assembly with a straight back wall can be inserted into the receptacle. This allows the straight back wall of the insert to be pulled against a straight outer wall of the receptacle, especially by inserting the fastener or a screw, thus achieving a stable fixation of the door cylinder in the receptacle. Furthermore, this prevents any tilting moments from being transmitted to the edges of the mounting opening due to deflection of the fastener, as such moments can be dissipated via the straight, adjacent surfaces of the insert and the receptacle.

[0062] In some embodiments, the flange section can be curved and / or arc-shaped on an underside opposite the core receiving section. Similarly, in some embodiments, the insertion recess can also be curved and / or arc-shaped on an underside.

[0063] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the insertion recess can have a circular arc-shaped support for the core receiving section. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the insertion recess can be completely shaped to correspond to the flange section and designed to receive and / or enclose only the flange section of the door cylinder (at least partially).

[0064] In some embodiments, the insert mounting opening can be aligned with a faceplate screw bore formed on the flange section when the door cylinder is inserted, whereby the fastening means for fixing the door cylinder in the receptacle can be inserted through the mounting opening and the insert mounting opening into the faceplate screw bore.

[0065] The mounting opening for the insert can therefore have a diameter corresponding to the bore of the socket screw.

[0066] In particular, in such embodiments, the door cylinder can be pulled against an inner wall of the insert part and the insert part against the outer wall of the receptacle by means of the fastening means and especially a screw, in order to achieve a reliable fixation of the door cylinder in the receptacle.

[0067] In some embodiments, the insert part may have a second mounting opening opposite the mounting opening of the insert part, which is designed to align with a second mounting opening of the receptacle opposite the mounting opening when the insert part is inserted into the receptacle. In particular, embodiments with such an insert part also allow for two-sided fixing of the door cylinder in the receptacle.

[0068] In some embodiments, the insert part may have a locking lug, in particular an elastically deformable one, which is designed to engage in a locking lug recess of the door cylinder when the door cylinder is inserted and to secure the door cylinder in the insert part.

[0069] In particular, the door cylinder can have a locking lug that projects radially beyond the core receiving section and is rotatable with the core receiving section, for example, to drive a door bolt. To enable such rotation of the locking lug, the door cylinder, and especially a housing of the door cylinder, can have a locking lug recess in which the locking lug can be guided and into which it can engage, particularly when aligned with the flange section. In particular, such a locking lug recess can therefore point towards the flange section and / or – in the operating state of the door cylinder – be located above a faceplate screw bore.Furthermore, the locking lug of a door cylinder designed as a double cylinder can be arranged in the middle between two halves of the double cylinder, so that the locking lug can also be arranged in the middle of the receptacle when the locking cylinder is inserted into the receptacle.

[0070] Such a locking lug recess can also provide an edge on the door cylinder with which the aforementioned locking lug of the insert can interact, in order to secure the door cylinder, in particular against removal from the insert. Since the locking lug can be elastically deformable, the door cylinder can, for example, be inserted into the insert. The locking lug can deform during insertion, but after the insert is fully inserted, it snaps back against the elastic deformation and secures the door cylinder in the insert by engaging the locking lug recess. To facilitate the insertion of the door cylinder, the locking lug can also have a displacement chamfer facing the door cylinder to be inserted.

[0071] In some embodiments, a key for operating the door cylinder may be assigned to the door cylinder, whereby the locking cam of the door cylinder may be deflected out of the locking cam recess when the key is removed. In such embodiments, the locking cam may be designed to engage in the locking cam recess on the side of the recess opposite the deflected locking cam.

[0072] In particular, the deflection of the locking lug when the key is removed, as provided for in such embodiments, can create a free space in the locking lug recess on the side opposite the deflection of the locking lug. This free space can then be cleverly used by the locking lug to fix the door cylinder to the insert. Furthermore, it can be provided, in particular, that the door cylinder is presented in the display arrangement with the key removed.

[0073] In some embodiments, the insert part may have a through-opening opposite to the locking lug for an arrangement of the deflected locking lug.

[0074] In particular, such a through-opening can thus allow the closing lug to be arranged out of alignment with the flange section in the insert part.

[0075] In some embodiments, the insert component can be a 3D-printed part. In particular, the insert component can therefore have a layered structure, allowing it to be built up successively through individual layers created using a 3D printing process. Such a 3D printing process can enable the production of insert components in a variety of shapes, allowing them to be easily manufactured to correspond to the respective door cylinder being presented. Furthermore, sustainable materials can be used in such a process to create an overall sustainable presentation arrangement.

[0076] In some embodiments, the packaging can be provided flat in an initial state and can be transformed into a state of use by folding, in which the receptacle is formed, wherein the packaging in the initial state can in particular be provided as a stamped part.

[0077] Such packaging also allows for particularly simple manufacturing, as it can be provided as a flat die-cut piece that can be easily folded and, if necessary, glued together to form the recess for the door cylinder. Furthermore, such foldable packaging can be easily manufactured using sustainable materials such as cardboard or corrugated board.

[0078] In some embodiments, the packaging may have a back wall section which, in the used state, forms a back wall of the packaging, wherein the back wall section may be connected to a structural section of the packaging by a crease line, in particular a fold. Furthermore, the opening can be formed by folding the structural section.

[0079] In such embodiments, the packaging, which is flat in its initial state, can be divided, in particular by the fold line, into the back wall section on the one hand and the structural section on the other, wherein the structural section can in particular have further fold lines in order to give the packaging the structure desired in the state of use, in particular with the receiving, by folding along the fold lines.

[0080] In general, one, a selection of several or all of the crease lines mentioned below can be formed by respective folds to allow for precise and easy folding of the packaging.

[0081] In some embodiments, the rear wall section may have the mounting opening through which the fastening means for fixing the door cylinder in the receptacle can be passed.

[0082] Therefore, in some embodiments, the rear wall section can form the aforementioned outer wall of the receiver.

[0083] In some embodiments, the structural section may include a support section that is foldable relative to the rear wall section. Both the support section and the rear wall section may have suspension openings that can be aligned with each other by folding, and the display arrangement may be suspended from these suspension openings. In particular, the packaging may therefore be two-layered in the area where the support section extends, with the suspension openings, defined by the two layers, enabling stable and reliable suspension of the packaging or the display arrangement, especially when a door cylinder is inserted into the receptacle.

[0084] In some embodiments, one or two suspension openings can be provided on the rear wall section and the support section. In particular, embodiments with two suspension openings can allow the packaging to be suspended at two suspension points, for example, to secure display arrangements with heavy or long door cylinders against tipping.

[0085] In some embodiments, the support section may have a U-shaped recess, wherein a boundary section of the packaging may be held on the underside of the U-shaped recess facing the fold line and connected to the support section by an underside fold line. The boundary section may further be foldable along the underside fold line relative to the support section, and may be subdivided by a further fold line into a top section and a front section that is foldable along the further fold line relative to the top section. The top section may be configured to extend along the top side of the door cylinder inserted into the receptacle in the state of use, whereas the front section may be configured to extend along the front side of the door cylinder inserted into the receptacle in the state of use.

[0086] The limiting section can therefore be, in particular, the limiting section already mentioned above, which can encircle the door cylinder in the receptacle in a manner similar to a belt, in order to hold the door cylinder in the receptacle. The arrangement, or at least partial arrangement, of the limiting section in the U-shaped recess of the support section can, in particular, make it possible to fold the limiting section out of the support section, so that the upper section (in the state of use) can extend essentially perpendicular to the support section, whereas the front section (in the state of use) can extend essentially parallel to the support section.

[0087] In some embodiments, the front section may have a second mounting opening through which a second fastening element, or the fastening element for centering the door cylinder in the receptacle, can be passed and, in particular, inserted into a faceplate screw bore of the installed door cylinder. In particular, this allows for the aforementioned two-sided fixing of the door cylinder in the receptacle and / or the front section can form a front wall of the receptacle.

[0088] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the limiting section can be held centrally or off-center on the support section. As already explained, this can allow for alignment with the respective door cylinder to be used, such that the center of gravity of the door cylinder coincides with the center of gravity of the packaging.

[0089] In some embodiments, the front section can transition into a display section, which, with respect to its width perpendicular to the vertical direction leading from the rear section to the structural section in the initial state, can be wider than the front section. In particular, the display section can have a width corresponding to that of the support section. In a sense, this widening from the front section to the display section allows the packaging to transition from the narrower opening, which allows the door cylinder to protrude laterally, back to a standard packaging width.

[0090] In some embodiments, the display section may include a measuring scale for measuring the length of the door cylinder inserted into the receptacle and protruding laterally from it. This measuring scale may, in turn, be positioned directly below the front section (in the operating state) to allow for easy reading of the door cylinder's length.

[0091] In some embodiments, the display section can be connected to a rear section by a lower bottom section, wherein the lower bottom section can be connected to the display section by a first bottom fold line and to the rear section by a second bottom fold line. Furthermore, the rear section can be brought into contact with the rear section by folding the packaging along the first bottom fold line and along the second bottom fold line.

[0092] Furthermore, the lower bottom section can, in particular when viewed along the aforementioned vertical direction, have a length corresponding to the aforementioned upper top section of the recording, so that the display section in the operating state can extend in particular parallel to the rear wall section and the lower bottom section can extend parallel to the upper top section.

[0093] In some embodiments, the lower base section can be oriented essentially perpendicular to the display section in the operating state. Furthermore, in the operating state, the display section, the lower base section, and the rear section can define a storage box for holding an instruction manual and / or at least one key.

[0094] By allowing the lower bottom section, as explained above, to have a length corresponding to the upper section of the boundary section, the storage box can thus be designed with a depth corresponding to the receiving area. Furthermore, orienting the lower bottom section perpendicular to the display section can make it possible to place the packaging on the lower bottom section to display an inserted door cylinder, particularly as an alternative to displaying the cylinder while the packaging is hanging.

[0095] In some embodiments, the display section, the lower bottom section, and / or the rear section can be connected by respective folding lines to laterally extending closure sections, allowing the storage box to be closed laterally by folding these closure sections. In particular, the storage box can therefore be closed like a package by folding over the respective closure sections.

[0096] In some embodiments, the rear section may be glued to the back panel section in its used state. Therefore, the packaging may also be double-layered in the area of ​​the rear section in its used state.

[0097] In some embodiments, the rear section can be connected to a bottom section by a receiving fold line. This bottom section can be folded along the receiving fold line into an orientation substantially perpendicular to the rear section and can be configured to form a base of the receptacle in the operating state, supporting the inserted door cylinder against its underside. The bottom section can therefore be, in particular, the aforementioned bottom section.

[0098] Furthermore, in embodiments with a storage box, the bottom section can be designed to define the upper edge of the storage box. In particular, the bottom section can also be connected via a folding line to a closure section, especially one on each side, whereby the storage box can be closed by folding the closure section in conjunction with the other closure sections.

[0099] In some embodiments, a tab can be formed on the bottom section, which is connected to the rear section at the receiving fold line and which, in the operating state, can be brought into contact with the rear wall section. The tab can also have a further fastening opening which, in the operating state, can be aligned with the fastening opening formed on the rear wall section. As already explained, by folding the tab relative to the bottom section, an outer wall reinforcement can thus be formed in order to reliably support a fastening element for fixing the door cylinder, which is guided through the fastening opening and the further fastening opening.

[0100] In some embodiments, the base section can be connected by a fastening fold line to a fastening section, which, in the operating state, can be attached, in particular glued, to an inner wall of the display section. By attaching or gluing the fastening section to an inner wall of the display section in this way, the packaging, and in particular the aforementioned storage box, can be reliably closed, allowing all sections to be arranged according to the desired orientation in the operating state.

[0101] In some embodiments, the length of the structural section may be approximately twice the length of the back wall section, and in particular, the length of the structural section may be 1.5 to 2.5 times or 1.8 to 2.2 times the length of the back wall section. In particular, the length may be measured along the aforementioned vertical direction.

[0102] In some embodiments, the packaging can be converted from the state of use into a flat transport state, in particular by sliding or pulling, in which an upper section of the receptacle extending above the inserted door cylinder in the state of use and a bottom section of the receptacle supporting the inserted door cylinder on an underside in the state of use extend parallel to a rear wall of the packaging.

[0103] In particular, such embodiments can make it possible to first bring the packaging into its use state, for example by gluing together any sections of the packaging that need to be sealed, so that the packaging is ready to receive the door cylinder. However, since the packaging can be folded into a flat transport state after being brought into its use state, such prepared packages can be transported or stored easily and in a space-saving manner, in order to be fitted with the door cylinders to be presented at a later time.

[0104] In some embodiments, the presentation arrangement may further include the door cylinder, in particular a double cylinder and / or a knob cylinder, which may be inserted into the receptacle.

[0105] In some embodiments, the presentation arrangement may include the fastening means, in particular a screw, for fixing the door cylinder in the receptacle.

[0106] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the door cylinder can extend laterally, particularly on both sides, out of the receptacle. As already explained, this can make it possible, in particular, to directly identify the door cylinder from the outside of the presentation arrangement and, in particular, to determine its dimensions, length, and / or type.

[0107] In some embodiments, the presentation arrangement may include a key for the door cylinder, which may be contained in a storage box arranged below the receptacle.

[0108] The above description focuses on various embodiments in which a fastening element for securing the door cylinder can be inserted into the receptacle through a pre-existing fastening opening in the packaging and / or the receptacle. For the sake of completeness, however, it should be noted that such a pre-existing fastening opening is not absolutely necessary to secure the door cylinder in accordance with the invention. In principle, a fastening element and / or a screw can, for example, simply pass through and / or be screwed into the packaging material to engage, for instance, a screw hole in the door cylinder and / or the aforementioned fastening opening in the insert, thereby securing the door cylinder in the receptacle.In such embodiments, the fastening opening can thus be formed, so to speak, during the insertion of the fastening element into the receptacle.

[0109] The invention further relates to an insert for receiving a door cylinder, which can be inserted into a receptacle of packaging of a presentation arrangement of the type disclosed herein. The insert can have an insert mounting opening into which a fastening means for securing the door cylinder in the receptacle can be inserted.

[0110] As already explained, such an insert can, in particular, be part of a stabilizing device for a presentation arrangement of the type disclosed herein, in order to enable the door cylinder to be securely fixed in the receptacle. However, such an insert can also, in particular, be provided independently of the packaging described above, in order to interact with the packaging and fix the door cylinder in the receptacle.

[0111] In some embodiments, the mounting opening for the insert part can be designed to align with a faceplate screw bore formed on a flange section of the door cylinder when the door cylinder is inserted.

[0112] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the door cylinder can have a cylinder shape with a core receiving section that is essentially circular in cross-section for receiving a rotatable cylinder core and a flange section projecting radially from the core receiving section for receiving at least one housing pin and at least one housing spring. The insert can also have an insertion recess into which the flange section can be inserted with essentially no play, wherein, when the door cylinder is inserted, the insert can extend perpendicularly to the flange section at least to the outermost section of the core receiving section that is perpendicular to the flange section. The insert can have a straight back wall, which can be designed to bear against the outer wall of the packaging when the insert is inserted.

[0113] As mentioned, the insert can therefore, in particular, straighten the shape of the door cylinder to allow for flat support in the recess.

[0114] In some embodiments, the insert part may have a locking lug, in particular an elastically deformable one, which is designed to engage in a locking lug recess of the door cylinder when the door cylinder is inserted and to secure the door cylinder in the insert part.

[0115] Furthermore, in some embodiments the insert can be a 3D printed component.

[0116] Furthermore, one or more of the features of the insert part and / or the door cylinder that can be inserted therein, already explained above in connection with the presentation arrangement, may also be provided for the insert part explained above independently of the presentation arrangement.

[0117] The invention is explained below by way of example with reference to the drawings.

[0118] They show: Fig. 1 a door cylinder designed as a double cylinder, Fig. 2 a packaging of a presentation arrangement with a receptacle into which the door cylinder can be inserted, Fig. 3A and 3B respective representations of packaging in an initial state which can be transformed by folding into a working state in which the receptacle for receiving the door cylinder is formed, Fig. 4A and 4B perspective view and a front view of an insert for receiving the door cylinder and Fig. 5 a perspective view of a further embodiment of the insert for receiving the door cylinder.

[0119] Fig. 1 Figure 81 shows the basic structure of an exemplary double cylinder 81, which extends along a longitudinal axis L and comprises a first single cylinder 11 and a second single cylinder 61. The single cylinders 11 and 61 are connected to each other via a connecting bridge 59. Such a cylinder 81 can, for example, be designed to be inserted into a mortise lock or into a door leaf to allow the door to be locked or unlocked from either side. To fix the cylinder 81 axially with respect to the longitudinal axis L in such a mortise lock, the connecting bridge 59 has a screw hole 69. This prevents the double cylinder 81, once inserted into the mortise lock, from being pulled out by inserting a screw (not shown) into the screw hole 69.

[0120] To enable the double cylinder 81 to be used for locking or unlocking, for example, a door, a respective cylinder core 31 is inserted into a respective outer housing 21 of the single door cylinders 11 or 61, which is rotatably mounted in a cylindrical core receiving section 23 of the outer housing 21. The cylinder cores 31 have respective key insertion openings 75 to allow the insertion of a suitable key (not shown) and the rotation of the cylinder cores 31 to selectively lock or unlock a door.

[0121] Furthermore, a rotation of the cylinder cores 31 can be transferred to a locking lug 73 of the door cylinder 81, for example to move a bolt of a mortise lock. The locking lug 73 projects radially beyond the core receiving sections 31 and is guided in a locking lug recess 33, but is deflected outwards relative to a flange section 25 of the door cylinder 81 when the key is removed.

[0122] To prevent the outer casings 21 of the individual door cylinders 11 and 61 from rotating during a locking operation and to ensure that the door cylinder 81 is mounted in a mortise lock in a rotationally fixed manner, the outer casings 21 have, in addition to the cylindrical core receiving section 23, a flange section 25 projecting radially away from it with respect to the longitudinal axis L. Furthermore, housing pins, pre-tensioned by housing springs in the direction of the associated cylinder core 31, can be mounted in the flange section 25. When the key is removed, these housing pins engage in bores in the cylinder core 31 and block the cylinder core 31 against rotation. By inserting the associated key into the key insertion openings 75, the core pins mounted in the cylinder core 31 can be aligned, and the housing pins can be forced out of the cylinder core 31 and into the flange section 25, whereupon the cylinder core 31 can be rotated by means of the key.The core receiving section 23 and the flange section therefore form a conventional door cylinder shape 147.

[0123] Such door cylinders 81, which are designed in various ways, particularly with different lengths, can in principle be used in a multitude of applications, for example, to be inserted into door leaves of varying thicknesses and used to lock the respective door. When such door cylinders 81 are presented, it is therefore necessary for potential buyers to be able to directly ascertain a dimension or length along the longitudinal axis L in order to select potentially suitable door cylinders 81 from the multitude of different door cylinders presented.

[0124] However, this often necessitates presenting door cylinder 81 in transparent packaging, for which only a limited selection of materials is available, meaning such packaging must usually be made of transparent plastic. Manufacturing from sustainable materials is generally not possible. Furthermore, such plastic packaging can be unduly complex to produce and may be unreasonably difficult for a customer to open.

[0125] Fig. 2 Figure 13 illustrates a presentation arrangement 13 with a packaging 15 in which a presentation of the door cylinder 81 or any other door cylinder can take place without the door cylinder 81 having to be included in a closed receptacle.

[0126] Rather, the packaging 15 has a receptacle 17 into which the double cylinder 81 can be inserted, the receptacle 17 having lateral openings 19 so that the double cylinder 81 inserted into the receptacle 17 protrudes from both sides of the receptacle 17 and can be directly seen and viewed from the outside of the packaging 15. To secure the door cylinder 81 inserted into the receptacle 17 and reliably hold it in place, the packaging 15 has a fixing device 35 designed to prevent the door cylinder 81 from slipping laterally out of the receptacle 17.

[0127] In the embodiment illustrated here, the fixing device 35 comprises in particular a fastening opening 39 formed on an outer wall 37 of the receptacle 17, through which a fastening element (not shown in the figures) can be inserted and into the receptacle 17 (see also Fig. 3A and3BFurthermore, the fastening element, in particular a screw, can be screwed into the aforementioned faceplate screw hole 69 when the door cylinder 81 is inserted into the receptacle 17, in order to secure the door cylinder 81 in the receptacle 17. Additionally, a second fastening opening 45 is provided on a front wall 43 of the receptacle 17 opposite the outer wall 37, which is formed by a rear wall 41 of the packaging 15. A second fastening element, also not shown in the figures, can be passed through this opening and inserted into the receptacle 17, so that the double cylinder 81 can be fixed on both sides in the receptacle 17 and thus held stably and centered.As an alternative to a second fastening means, it can also be provided that the fastening means inserted through the fastening opening 39 are inserted through the fastening opening 39 and the faceplate screw bore 69 of the inserted door cylinder 81 into the second fastening opening 45 in order to achieve a fixing and centering of the door cylinder 81 on both sides.

[0128] The packaging 15 of the presentation arrangement 13 thus makes it possible to insert the door cylinder 81 in such a way that sections of the door cylinder 81 protruding laterally from the receptacle 17 can be directly visible. The fixing device 35, in turn, prevents the door cylinder 81 from slipping out, so that the receptacle 17 does not have to completely surround the door cylinder 81 and therefore does not have to be transparent.

[0129] While the door cylinder 81 can thus protrude laterally from the receptacle 17, the receptacle 17, in addition to the aforementioned rear wall 41 or outer wall 37, has a boundary section 79 with a top section 117 extending above the inserted door cylinder 81 and a front section 119 extending along a front face 120 of the inserted door cylinder 81, which forms the aforementioned front wall 43 of the receptacle 17. Furthermore, a bottom section 65 is provided in the packaging 15 to support the door cylinder 81 on its underside 83 within the receptacle 17. Therefore, the inserted door cylinder 81 can ultimately be enclosed and held by the receptacle 17 on four of the six sides of the room, with the complete fixing of the door cylinder 81 being achieved by the fixing device 35.The limiting section 79 forms, in a sense, a belt enclosing the door cylinder 81, which, due to the fixing of the door cylinder 81 to the faceplate screw bore 69 in the receptacle 17, only covers a central section of the door cylinder 81 inserted into the receptacle 17, whereas the laterally protruding sections remain visible.

[0130] Furthermore, a display section 93 is provided below the door cylinder 81 inserted into the receptacle 17. This display section has a measuring scale 95, from which the actual length of the door cylinder 81 can be read directly. This allows a potential buyer to first make a preliminary selection of door cylinders that may be suitable for a particular application based on the visible part of the door cylinder 81, and then, based on this preliminary selection, to directly select the door cylinder 81 that is actually required by reading the measuring scale 95.

[0131] Furthermore, the display section 93 forms part of a storage box 97 located below the recording 17, into which, for example, an instruction manual and / or a key (not shown) associated with the door cylinder 81 can be inserted.

[0132] Since the presentation arrangement 13 with the packaging 15 thus offers a way to visibly present the door cylinder 81 within the packaging 15 without the door cylinder 81 having to be completely enclosed in a recess, the limiting section 79 in particular does not necessarily have to be made of a transparent material. Even if a central section of the door cylinder 81 is covered by the faceplate screw bore 69, the dimensions, length, and / or design of the door cylinder 81 can still be seen. Therefore, any material can be used for the packaging 15, so that the packaging 15 can, for example, also be made of cardboard or corrugated board without restricting the presentation of the door cylinder 81 within the packaging 15.

[0133] However, the construction of the packaging 15 from cardboard or corrugated board presents a particular problem: any deflection of a fastening element guided through the fastening opening 39 or the second fastening opening 45 can lead to a force transmission to the limits of the fastening openings 39 and 45, and thus to damage to these limits, which can, for example, result in the fastening openings 39 and 45 becoming loose. This, in turn, can impair the reliable fixation of the door cylinder in the receptacle 17.

[0134] To address this problem, the following approach is used: Fig. 2 The illustrated presentation arrangement 13 further includes a stabilizing device 47, which is designed to stabilize the fixing of the door cylinder in the receptacle 17 through the fastening opening 39.

[0135] Based on Fig. 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the stabilizing device 47 particularly includes an outer wall reinforcement 49 for reinforcing the outer wall 37 in a stabilizing section surrounding the mounting opening 39. The outer wall reinforcement 49 is, for example, formed by a flap 71 that can be folded away from the base section 65 and which has a further mounting opening 63 that can be brought into alignment with the mounting opening 39 on the outer wall 37 by folding the flap 71 over.In this respect, the stabilizing device 47, in addition to a first layer 53 of packaging material formed by the rear wall 41 of the packaging 15 and thus the outer wall 37, provides a second layer 55 of packaging material in the form of the folded-over flap 71. This ensures that the fastening element for fixing the door cylinder 81 in the receptacle 17 is ultimately guided through two layers – layers 53 and 55 – of packaging material, thus stabilizing the fixing of the door cylinder 81. The flap 71 therefore defines, in a sense, a local stabilizing section around the fixing opening 39, in which the reinforcement of the outer wall 37 takes place.

[0136] By folding over the tab 71 in this way, the outer wall reinforcement 49 can be easily installed, and in particular without the need to attach an additional element or component to the packaging 15. Although this creates an opening 66 in the base section 65, from which the tab 71 is folded out, the door cylinder 81 can still be stably supported on the base section 65 due to its lateral projection. Furthermore, folding over the tab 71 in this way allows the outer wall reinforcement 49 to be positioned on an inner surface 51 of the receptacle 17, which, when the door cylinder 81 is inserted, is concealed by the door cylinder 81 and therefore not visible from the outside. In this way, the stabilizing device 47 and the outer wall reinforcement 49 can be formed without affecting the presentation of the door cylinder 81 in the packaging 15 or the visible visual design of the packaging 15.

[0137] The Figuren 4A bis 5 further illustrate that the stabilizing device 47 – alternatively or additionally to the outer wall reinforcement 49 – can have an insert 139, wherein in the Fig. 4A und 4B a first embodiment of the insert part 139 and based on Fig. 5 A second embodiment of the insert part 139 is illustrated.

[0138] How Fig. 4A As shown, the insert part 139 has an insertion recess 145, which is modeled on the door cylinder shape 147 and into which, in particular, the flange section 25 of the door cylinder 81 can be inserted essentially without play. Furthermore, according to the embodiment of the Fig. 4A und 4B a support 155 for the core receiving section 23 of the door cylinder 81, on which the core receiving section 23 of the inserted door cylinder 81 can be supported.

[0139] Furthermore, the insert 139 extends to a section 140 of the core receiving section 21 that is located at its outermost perpendicular to the flange section 25 and has a straight insert back wall 151, so that by inserting the door cylinder 81 into the insertion opening 145 of the insert 139, the door cylinder shape 147 is ultimately straightened, and the arrangement of the door cylinder 81 and the insert 139 provides an arrangement with a straight insert back wall 151. The arrangement consisting of the insert 139 and the door cylinder 81 can therefore be supported by the insert back wall 151 against the outer wall 37 of the receptacle 17 when the insert 139 and the door cylinder 81 inserted therein are placed into the receptacle 17.This also allows for a stabilized fixing of the door cylinder 81 in the receptacle 17, by transferring any tilting moments from the insert's rear wall 151 to the outer wall 37 over a surface area, in order to protect the limits of the fixing openings 39, 45 and 63 from damage.

[0140] Furthermore, the insert 139 has an insert mounting opening 141 and a second insert mounting opening 143, which are designed to align with the mounting opening 39 and the second mounting opening 45, respectively, when the insert 139, with the door cylinder 81 inserted therein, is inserted into the receptacle 17. This allows a fastening element inserted through the mounting opening 39 or the second mounting opening 45 into the receptacle 17 to be inserted into the insert mounting openings 141 and 143, thereby securely securing the insert 139 in the receptacle 17.Furthermore, it can be provided that the insert mounting openings 141 and 143 are aligned with the faceplate screw bore 69 when the door cylinder 81 is inserted, so that the aforementioned fasteners can be screwed through the insert mounting openings 141 and 143 into the faceplate screw bore 69 of the inserted door cylinder 81 in order to secure the door cylinder 81 in the receptacle 17.

[0141] Furthermore, it illustrates Fig. 4B that the insert part 139 has a particularly elastically deformable locking lug 149 which, when the door cylinder 81 is inserted, can engage in the locking lug recess 33 of the door cylinder 81 in order to secure the door cylinder 81 against removal from the insert part 139.

[0142] The embodiment according to Fig. 5 differs from the embodiment according to the Fig. 4A und 4B In particular, this embodiment does not provide a support 155 for the core receiving section 21, but only allows the flange section 25 to be inserted into the insertion opening 145. Nevertheless, with the door cylinder 81 inserted, the insert 139 extends perpendicularly to the flange section 25 to the outermost section of the core receiving section 121, in order to achieve the desired straightening of the door cylinder shape 147 and support against the straight rear wall 151 of the insert after insertion into the receptacle 17 of the packaging 15. Furthermore, the insert 139 is designed according to Fig. 5 a through-opening 153 is provided, into which the according to Fig. 1 With the key removed, the deflected locking lug 73 can engage. Such deflection of the locking lug 73 creates a clearance on the opposite side of the locking lug recess 33, in which, even in the embodiment according to Fig. 5 a locking lug 149 can engage to securely hold the door cylinder 81 in the insert part 139.

[0143] Both the insert part 139 according to the Fig. 4A und 4B as well as the insert part 139 according to Fig. 5 In particular, it can be a 3D printed component, whereby such manufacturing can especially enable easy adaptation to the respective door cylinders to be used.

[0144] While Fig. 2 The packaging 15 in a state of use G, in which the receptacle 17 is formed and the door cylinder 81 can be inserted into the receptacle 17, are shown by the Fig. 3A and 3BThe packaging 15 is in a flat initial state A, in which the packaging 15 is provided as a flat die-cut part 99. However, by folding and, if necessary, gluing individual sections of the packaging 15, the packaging 15 can be easily transformed from the initial state A into the working state G.

[0145] The Fig. 3A and 3BThe figures show that the packaging 15 initially has a back wall section 101, which is connected by a fold line 103, in particular a crease, to a structural section 105, on which the receptacle 17 can be formed. To transition the packaging 15 from the initial state A to the state of use G, the structural section 15 can be folded relative to the back wall section 101, whereby a support section 107 of the structural section 105 comes into contact with the back wall section 101 and can, for example, be glued to it. The back wall section 101 and the support section 107 each have a suspension opening 109, which, through folding, come into overlapping contact with each other and can enable the presentation arrangement 13 to be suspended.In other embodiments not shown in the figures, however, two offset suspension openings 109 can be provided, for example, on the rear wall section 101 and the support section 107, in order to suspend, for example, heavy or long door cylinders without the risk of the packaging 15 tipping over. Furthermore, the figures show... Fig. 3A and 3B for example, that the aforementioned fastening opening 39 can be formed in particular on the rear wall section 101 and thus on the rear wall 41 of the packaging 15.

[0146] The support section 107 further features a U-shaped recess 111, at the underside 91 of which the aforementioned limiting section 79 is held by an underside fold line 113. The limiting section 79 is subdivided into the aforementioned top section 117 and the front section 119, the top section 117 and the front section 119 being separated from each other by a further fold line 115. By appropriately folding the limiting section 79 at the underside fold line 113 and the further fold line 115, the top section 117 and the front section 119 can thus be brought into the desired orientation in order to extend along a top 118 and a front 120 of the door cylinder inserted into the receptacle 17.In addition, the front section 119 has the aforementioned second mounting opening 45, via which the inserted door cylinder 81 can, for example, be centered.

[0147] While Fig. 3A An embodiment is illustrated in which the limiting section 79 is held centrally on the support section 105, so that the receptacle 17 is also formed centrally on the packaging 15, shows Fig. 3B an embodiment with an off-center receptacle 17. By means of such an off-center arrangement, for example door cylinders can be held stably in the packaging 15, the center of gravity of which is offset from the faceplate screw bore 69.

[0148] The front section 119 then transitions into the previously mentioned display section 93, whereby during this transition the width of the packaging 15 increases, measured along a width direction perpendicular to a vertical direction extending from the rear wall section 101 to the structural section 105, and in particular reaches the width of the support section 107 again. The measuring scale 95 provided on the display section 93 in some embodiments is in the Fig. 3A and 3B not shown.

[0149] The display section 93 is connected via a first bottom fold line 123 to a lower bottom section 121, which in turn is connected via a second bottom fold line to a rear section 127. By folding the packaging 15 along the bottom fold lines 123 and 125, the lower bottom section 121 can be transferred, in particular, into an orientation perpendicular to the rear wall section 101, in order to, as Fig. 2 This shows how a base can be formed for the storage box 97. The rear section 127, which is connected to the lower base section 121 via the second base fold line 125, can, however, be aligned parallel to the rear wall section 101, for example, to be glued to the rear wall section 101. Furthermore, the packaging 17 can, for example, be stood upright on the lower base section 121 as an alternative to being hung from the suspension openings 93.

[0150] The rear section 127 is connected to the aforementioned bottom section 65 via a receiving fold line 133. The bottom section 65 can be folded to align it perpendicular to the rear wall section 101, forming a base for the receptacle 17 and supporting the door cylinder on its underside 83 within the receptacle 17. The bottom section 65 also features the aforementioned tab 71 with the additional fastening opening 63. This tab can be folded relative to the bottom section 65 to align with the rear wall section 101 and thus with the outer wall 37 of the receptacle 17, forming the aforementioned outer wall reinforcement 49 of the stabilizing device 47.

[0151] Furthermore, the bottom section 65 is connected via a fastening fold line 135 to a fastening section 137, which can be brought into alignment with the display section 93 by folding, in particular on an inside of the storage box 97, and glued to it in order to stabilize the packaging 15 and in particular to close the storage box 97.

[0152] In the embodiment shown, the display section 93, the lower bottom section 121, the rear section 127 and the bottom section 65 are further connected via respective closure fold lines 129 to closure sections 131, which can close the storage box 97 by folding accordingly.

[0153] In summary, the packaging 15 can thus be transformed from the initial state A to the operating state G after the rear wall section 101 is folded relative to the support section 107, starting from the fastening section 137, by rolling it up in such a way that the fastening section 137 comes into contact with the display section 93 on an inside side of the storage box 97 formed thereby, and in addition, for example, the support section 107 can be glued to the rear wall section 101, the back side section 127 to the rear wall section 101 and / or the fastening section 137 to the inside of the display section 93.

[0154] Furthermore, the packaging 15 can, in some embodiments, be based on the one described in Fig. 2 The packaging, in its shown state of use G, but especially when the locking sections 131 are not yet folded, can be converted into a flat transport state by sliding the indicator section 93 away from the support section 107. In this flat state, the top section 117, the bottom section 65, and the lower bottom section 121 are essentially parallel to the support section 107. This transport state can, in particular, enable space-saving storage and / or transport of fully prepared but not yet assembled packages 15.
