Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a presentation arrangement with packaging for presenting at least one padlock, which has a lock body and a U-shaped shackle that can be optionally locked to the lock body or at least partially detached from the lock body.
[0002] Padlocks with U-shaped shackles, often also called U-shackle padlocks, can be used for a wide variety of applications and are therefore designed in many different ways. For example, padlocks can differ in their dimensions, the length or thickness of the shackle, and / or the type of locking mechanism. Some padlocks are operated by a key, while others feature a combination locking mechanism that allows the U-shackle inserted into the lock body to be either locked to the lock body or released from it. Furthermore, depending on the intended application, different shackle lengths and / or thicknesses may be preferred or required, and the visual design of padlocks can also vary, for example, in terms of the color or shape of the lock body and / or the U-shackle.
[0003] Display arrangements with packaging for presenting padlocks can be intended, in particular, to showcase such padlocks to potential buyers. For this purpose, such display arrangements can, for example, be placed and / or hung on a sales shelf. In this context, several display arrangements with different padlocks can be placed together to present and offer a selection of different padlocks.
[0004] In order for a potential customer to select a suitable padlock for a specific application when presented with various padlocks, it is usually desirable to be able to view each padlock from the outside. This allows them to immediately assess, for example, the type of locking mechanism, the size of the padlock and / or the shackle, or the color of the padlock, and thus choose the desired padlock. On the other hand, conventional packaging requires padlocks to be packed in enclosed compartments to securely hold them within the packaging and prevent them from being removed.
[0005] Due to these constraints, the choice of materials for packaging such display arrangements is undesirably limited, as the requirement for the padlock to be visible while simultaneously being stored in a closed container necessitates the use of transparent materials. Therefore, transparent plastic packaging, such as blister packs, is most commonly used for padlock displays, while more sustainable materials cannot be adequately utilized. Furthermore, the production of such packaging is unduly complex, and handling such packaging, especially blister packs, can be inconvenient for customers when removing the padlock.
[0006] Therefore, an object of the invention is to create a presentation arrangement with packaging for presenting at least one padlock, which can be designed and handled in a simpler way and also allows the use of sustainable materials in its manufacture.
[0007] This problem is solved by a presentation arrangement having the features of claim 1.
[0008] The packaging of the presentation arrangement disclosed herein comprises a base section extending in a packaging plane and a holder for the padlock rising from the packaging plane, the holder having at least one holder opening through which the U-shaped shackle of the padlock can be passed for fastening the padlock to the packaging.
[0009] Designing the packaging of the presentation arrangement with such a bracket allows the padlock to be easily attached to the packaging by passing the U-shaped shackle through at least one opening in the bracket and then attaching it to the padlock body and / or locking it into the padlock body. In this way, the U-shaped shackle, which is already part of the padlock, can be used directly to secure the padlock to the packaging and prevent it from coming loose.
[0010] This method of securing the padlock eliminates the need to place it in a closed, fully enclosing recess to prevent it from coming loose from the packaging. Instead, the padlock, attached to the packaging's mounting bracket, can be freely accessible and visibly held in place from the outside, allowing for direct inspection and, for example, a feel of the padlock. Furthermore, this external mounting of the padlock, which enables immediate inspection, eliminates the need for transparent materials in either the packaging or the mounting bracket, as the padlock—apart from a portion of the U-shaped shackle passing through at least one opening in the mounting bracket—can be directly viewed from the outside.Therefore, the packaging and the holder can be made from virtually any material, so that sustainable and / or easily processed materials, such as cardboard, carton, and / or paper, are particularly suitable for the production of the packaging. Similarly, the production of the packaging from recycled plastic could also be considered.
[0011] Furthermore, the design of the packaging can also simplify handling for the customer, for example by allowing the U-bolt to be (at least partially) detached from the lock body after unlocking and led out of at least one mounting opening to detach the padlock from the packaging, whereas no complicated opening of a blister pack is required.
[0012] If the packaging is made of cardboard, corrugated board, and / or paper, the retaining clip can alternatively be cut or torn to release the U-shaped clip. Even if such cutting or tearing is easier with packaging made of these materials than with conventional blister packs, the packaging can still be sufficiently robust to require noticeable force and a certain amount of time to open, thus preventing any attempts to steal padlocks from the packaging.
[0013] The base section can generally be designed to be flat and / or planar, for example, to provide packaging with a flat back, on the front of which the holder is positioned and the padlock can be displayed. By having the holder rise from such a flat base section extending within the plane of the packaging, the padlock can also be attached to the packaging at a distance from the base section, for example, to provide sufficient space for positioning the lock body without having to displace the base section.
[0014] The padlock can, for example, be attached to the holder in such a way that the shackle plane, in which the U-shackle extends when the padlock is attached to the packaging, is essentially (i.e., apart from any tolerances) parallel to the packaging plane. However, it is also possible for the aforementioned shackle plane to be oriented obliquely and / or perpendicular to the packaging plane when the padlock is attached. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the padlock attached to the packaging can be rotatable around the shackle that passes through the holder opening or fixed relative to the packaging plane.
[0015] The basic design of a padlock is generally known to those skilled in the art, so a detailed explanation is unnecessary here. In particular, the lock body of a padlock can have two insertion channels for inserting and / or receiving the respective legs of the U-shackle, and it can incorporate a locking mechanism with at least one bolt to selectively lock the U-shackle into the lock body or release it. The U-shackle can, for example, have a long and a short leg, with the short leg being selectively detachable from the lock body while the long leg always remains in place. When the short leg is released, it can, for example, pivot around the long leg.Alternatively, a U-shaped shackle can also have legs of equal length, and such a U-shackle can optionally be completely detachable from the padlock body. A U-shackle with legs of different lengths can also, in principle, be completely detachable from the padlock body on some padlocks.
[0016] Further embodiments are explained in the dependent claims, the description and with reference to the drawings.
[0017] In general, the presentation arrangement in some embodiments can be designed as the packaging described herein. In other embodiments, however, the presentation arrangement can comprise at least one padlock and / or several padlocks attached to the packaging.
[0018] In some embodiments, the packaging can be made of a flat material, in particular cardboard, paper, and / or carton. Furthermore, recycled and / or recyclable plastics, for example, can also be used to manufacture the packaging. As already explained, the packaging of the presentation arrangement disclosed herein can therefore be made, in particular, of sustainable or recycled materials that are easy to process and manufacture. Furthermore, such packaging can, for example, be coated, at least in sections, to stabilize the packaging and / or improve its feel.
[0019] In some embodiments, the packaging may therefore be made of cardboard, paper, carton and / or recycled plastic.
[0020] In some embodiments, the bracket can have at least two offset mounting openings through which the U-shaped shackle of the padlock can be passed to secure the padlock to the packaging. In particular, in such embodiments, the legs of the U-shaped shackle can be passed through each of the mounting openings, so that the padlock can be held securely in the bracket and / or fixed in a predetermined orientation relative to the plane of the packaging.
[0021] In particular, a shackle plane in which the U-shackle of the padlock attached to the bracket extends can therefore be aligned parallel to the base section of the packaging if the U-shackle passes through the two mounting openings of the bracket and the padlock is attached to the packaging. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the shackle plane can also be aligned obliquely and / or perpendicularly to the packaging plane.
[0022] Furthermore, the design of the bracket with two mounting holes for attaching the U-shackle can provide even better theft protection. In the event of a theft attempt, the U-shackle would have to be removed from these two mounting holes, thus avoiding the need to steal the entire packaging, which is relatively large compared to the padlock itself. This increases the effort required to remove the padlock and therefore the time needed for a theft attempt, thus effectively preventing such thefts.
[0023] In some embodiments, the holder can extend along one of the packaging's widths, with the holder openings being offset from each other along this width. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the two holder openings can be offset from each other only along the width, but not perpendicular to it.
[0024] In connection with the present disclosure, the width direction can in particular extend parallel to the packaging plane and / or be oriented perpendicular to an insertion direction along which the U-bolt can be passed through the mounting openings.
[0025] Furthermore, an insertion direction along which the U-bolt can be passed through the at least one mounting opening and / or the two mounting openings and / or along which respective legs of the U-bolt of the padlock inserted into the mounting extend, can be aligned in particular parallel to the packaging plane and / or perpendicular to an insertion plane which extends perpendicular to the packaging plane and parallel to the width direction.
[0026] Such an alignment of the mounting openings can, in particular, make it possible to attach the U-shackle and thus the padlock to the mounting in such a way that the padlock in question, and in particular the aforementioned shackle plane, can be attached to the packaging in a manner that is (essentially) parallel to the base section of the packaging and thus to the packaging plane.
[0027] In some embodiments, the lock body can have a thickness perpendicular to the packaging plane (when the padlock is attached to the packaging), where the padlock body thickness can correspond to the maximum extent of the lock body perpendicular to the packaging plane. Furthermore, the distance between the center point of at least one mounting opening and the base section can be equal to or greater than half the padlock body thickness. This allows the padlock to be attached to the packaging with the padlock body either abutting the base section or spaced apart from it, and aligned at least substantially parallel to the base section.
[0028] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the mounting openings may be arranged offset from each other perpendicular to the packaging plane. This may, for example, make it possible to attach the padlock, and in particular the aforementioned shackle plane, to the packaging in a manner essentially perpendicular to the packaging plane.
[0029] In addition, it is also possible in principle for the mounting openings to be offset from each other perpendicular to the packaging plane and along the width direction (parallel to the packaging plane) in order to achieve an inclined alignment of the padlock attached in the packaging relative to the packaging plane.
[0030] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the holder may have at least two pairs of mounting openings offset perpendicular to the packaging plane, with the mounting openings of each pair being offset from one another along the width direction. This may, for example, make it possible to attach at least two padlocks one behind the other perpendicular to the packaging plane within the packaging by passing the U-shaped shackle of the padlocks through a respective pair of mounting openings and thereby attaching the padlocks to the holder. In particular, in such embodiments, the padlocks arranged one behind the other can be attached to the packaging in a manner essentially parallel to the packaging plane.
[0031] In some embodiments, one of the at least two mounting openings may be open laterally and have an insertion slot for the lateral insertion of the U-bolt.
[0032] In such embodiments, it may therefore be particularly possible to insert the U-bolt laterally into the insertion slot of the lateral mounting opening and then to guide it through an inner mounting opening of the at least two mounting openings, in particular parallel to the packaging plane, in order to attach the padlock to the packaging.
[0033] For example, a U-shaped padlock with a long leg permanently held in the padlock body and a short leg that can be optionally detached from the padlock body can be attached to the packaging by first inserting the long leg laterally through the insertion slot into the side mounting opening when the short leg is detached. Then, the short leg is inserted through the inner mounting opening into the padlock body, thus securing the padlock to the packaging. In particular, such a laterally open mounting opening provides a simple way to attach or remove padlocks with U-shaped shackles of different leg lengths from the packaging.
[0034] Alternatively, when presenting padlocks with U-shaped shackles of different lengths, it can also be provided that both of the at least two mounting openings are closed and / or completely enclosed, whereby in such embodiments the U-shackle can be threaded through the mounting openings, for example, starting from one end of the short leg detached from the lock body.
[0035] A U-shaped shackle with legs of equal length (or a leg that is completely detachable from the lock body with legs of different or equal length) can also be generally detached from the lock body, passed through the two mounting openings and reinserted into the lock body, regardless of the design of the two mounting openings, in order to secure the padlock to the packaging.
[0036] In some embodiments, the bracket may have a plurality of pairs of mounting openings, wherein a padlock can be attached to each pair of mounting openings by passing the respective U-bolt through them.
[0037] The pairs can be offset from each other, in particular perpendicular to the packaging plane and / or parallel to the packaging plane, especially along the aforementioned width direction, in order to be able to arrange padlocks perpendicular to the packaging plane one behind the other and / or parallel to the packaging plane next to each other.
[0038] In principle, however, some embodiments may also provide that the holder has a plurality (in particular directly) adjacent mounting openings in the width direction, whereby a respective U-bolt of a padlock can be passed through each of the adjacent mounting openings in order to be able to attach several padlocks to the packaging in this way.
[0039] Therefore, the presentation order can generally be intended for the presentation of one or more padlocks.
[0040] In some embodiments, the support can rise from the packaging plane in a triangular shape. In particular, the support can therefore have a triangular cross-section perpendicular to the base section. As explained in more detail below, such a support can be formed, especially simply, by folding the respective support surfaces. Alternatively, instead of a triangular shape, the support can also have a rectangular or curved cross-section rising from the base section.
[0041] In some embodiments, at least one mounting opening can be oriented obliquely to the packaging plane. Conversely, the U-bolt can be guided through the mounting opening parallel to the packaging plane, so that at least one mounting opening can also be oriented obliquely to the U-bolt being guided through it. This can, in particular, make it possible to stabilize the U-bolt in the mounting against any tilting moments by supporting the U-bolt against boundaries of the mounting opening that are offset from one another parallel to the packaging plane and along an insertion direction of the U-bolt into the mounting opening.
[0042] In some embodiments, at least one mounting opening can be circular. In particular, the U-shaped shackle of the padlock to be inserted into the mounting can also have a circular cross-section in some embodiments.
[0043] In general, the shape of the mounting opening can therefore correspond to a cross-sectional shape of the U-shackle of the padlock to be inserted or already inserted in some embodiments.
[0044] In some embodiments, at least one mounting opening can have a reduced cross-sectional extent in a cross-section in a viewing plane perpendicular to the packaging plane in at least one direction of extension running in the viewing plane compared to a diameter of the circular shape.
[0045] In particular, such a reduced cross-sectional area compared to a circular diameter can result from an inclined or slanted arrangement of the mounting opening relative to the packaging plane, for example, by opposite boundaries of an inclined mounting opening being closer together in a cross-section in the plane of consideration than in an extent plane aligned parallel to the mounting opening.This can also make it possible, in particular, to attach a U-bolt, guided parallel to the packaging plane through at least one mounting opening, to the packaging in a stable manner and, in particular, to secure it against tilting moments, whereby the diameter of the circular shape can correspond approximately to a cross-sectional diameter of the U-bolt, so that the mounting opening can exert a certain clamping effect on the inserted U-bolt due to the reduced cross-sectional area.
[0046] The direction of extension in which the mounting opening may have a reduced cross-sectional extension may, in particular, be oriented perpendicular to the packaging plane.
[0047] In some embodiments, the holder may have at least one key-holding opening into which the shaft of (at least) one key belonging to the padlock can be inserted. The key-holding opening may be designed to hold the key inserted into the holder.
[0048] In particular, such a mounting bracket allows both the padlock and its corresponding key to be attached to the packaging in such a way that the padlock and key are visible from the outside. A potential customer can therefore immediately see how the padlock is operated and that a key is required. Furthermore, the dimensions of the padlock can also be immediately seen, so that the information most relevant to a purchase decision is readily available to a potential customer.
[0049] In some embodiments, it may also be provided that several keys are assigned to the padlock, with all of the multiple keys being insertable into the key holder and thus secured in the packaging. For example, it may be possible to offer a padlock with several identical keys that can therefore operate the padlock. A potential customer can thus immediately determine how many keys are provided with the padlock. The keys can, in particular, be arranged one behind the other in the key holder, perpendicular to the plane of the packaging.
[0050] In some embodiments, the key-holding opening can be located laterally on the outside or between two pairs of mounting openings on the bracket. Alternatively or additionally, it can also be provided that a first of at least two mounting openings is located between a second of at least two mounting openings and the key-holding opening.
[0051] For example, the key holder opening may be located on the side of the bracket, allowing the key(s) associated with the padlock to be positioned on the side of the bracket and inserted into the key holder opening. Alternatively, the bracket may have two pairs of mounting openings, enabling the attachment of two padlocks by passing the respective U-shaped shackle through a separate pair of mounting openings. The key holder opening may be located between the two pairs of mounting openings and / or in the center of the bracket.In embodiments in which a first of at least two mounting openings is arranged between a second of at least two mounting openings of the holder and the key holding opening, the key holding opening can in particular be arranged next to such a pair of mounting openings in order to be arranged and presented, for example, next to a padlock which is attached to the packaging by passing the U-shackle through the two mounting openings.
[0052] In some embodiments, the key inserted into the key holding opening can be connected to the U-shaped bracket of the U-shaped bracket that passes through at least one holding opening by means of a key ring.
[0053] In such an embodiment, the key (or keys) assigned to the padlock and inserted into the key holder opening can be secured to the padlock's U-shaped shackle by the key ring. Therefore, by attaching the padlock to the holder by passing the U-shaped shackle through at least one opening in the holder and securing it to the lock body, the key can be secured against unintentional removal from the packaging. The holder's design with a key holder opening thus allows for the organized presentation of the key(s) after insertion into the opening, and the connection to the U-shaped shackle prevents any potential loss of the key(s).
[0054] In some embodiments, the key retaining opening can be rectangular. In particular, the key retaining opening can be shaped like the cross-sectional form of a key shaft of a key to be inserted, wherein the key shaft can be, for example, elongated, optionally tapering to a point, and in particular rectangular in cross-section.
[0055] In principle, however, round or curved key shafts can also be provided in cross-section, whereby a form of key holding opening for the presentation of such keys can also be designed according to such a cross-section.
[0056] In some embodiments, the retaining opening and the key retaining opening can be offset from each other perpendicular to the packaging plane. In particular, the key retaining opening can be formed directly adjacent to the base section, whereas the retaining opening can be arranged at a distance from the base section.
[0057] Alternatively or additionally, it can also be provided that the base section limits the key-holding opening on one side. This can, in particular, make it possible to support a flat key inserted into the key-holding opening against the base section over its entire surface, thereby securing it against tipping.
[0058] In some embodiments, the width of the packaging in the packaging plane (and along the aforementioned width direction) can correspond to one packaging width, and the holder can extend along the entire packaging width. In particular, the holder can thus be designed to span the entire packaging width in order to utilize the entire packaging width for arranging one or more padlocks.
[0059] In some embodiments, the packaging can be provided in a flat initial state and / or as flat material, whereby the holder can be transferred into an orientation rising from the packaging plane by folding the packaging.
[0060] Providing the packaging in such a flat initial state and / or as flat material can, in particular, facilitate compact storage or transport of the packaging. The holder can be formed by folding, thus easily starting from the flat initial state of the packaging and / or from the flat material, in order to attach at least one padlock to the packaging. In particular, the packaging can therefore, for example, be provided as a simple die-cut part and prepared for the presentation of a padlock by simply folding it.
[0061] In some embodiments, the holder may have a first mounting surface and a second mounting surface, both rising from the packaging plane, which meet at a mounting ridge spaced apart from the packaging plane. Furthermore, at least one mounting opening may be formed on each of the mounting surfaces, wherein the U-shaped shackle of the padlock can be passed through both the mounting opening of the first mounting surface and the mounting opening of the second mounting surface for securing the padlock.
[0062] In particular, the mounting openings of the two mounting surfaces can be offset from each other and / or aligned with each other in an insertion direction along which the U-bolt is guided through the mounting openings, in order to be able to grip and support the U-bolt at offset points on the mounting.
[0063] Furthermore, in some embodiments, each of the mounting surfaces can have at least two mounting openings, whereby the U-shaped shackle of the padlock can be passed through both mounting openings of the first mounting surface and through both mounting openings of the second mounting surface. In such embodiments, the U-shaped shackle can thus pass through four mounting openings to ensure reliable attachment of the padlock to the packaging. The mounting openings of each mounting surface can, for example, be offset from one another in a lateral direction parallel to the packaging plane and / or transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to the packaging plane.
[0064] In some embodiments, the mounting surfaces can be inclined relative to each other, and the mounting ridge can be formed by a connecting line where the inclined mounting surfaces meet. In particular, such a design can be provided for a mounting that rises triangularly from the base section, and in such embodiments, the mounting – as explained in more detail below – can also be formed by folds along the connecting line.
[0065] Alternatively, it may also be provided, for example, that the bracket rises from the base section in a rectangular, trapezoidal or curved cross-section, whereby the bracket ridge in such embodiments may in particular be formed by a connecting section between the two bracket surfaces and / or a section of the bracket furthest from the base section.
[0066] In some embodiments, the mounting surfaces can be flat. In other embodiments, however, curved mounting surfaces may be provided.
[0067] Furthermore, the mounting surfaces can be rectangular in some embodiments.
[0068] In some embodiments, each of the mounting surfaces can have a corresponding key-holding opening, whereby the key shaft of a key associated with the padlock can be passed through the key-holding openings of the two mounting surfaces to secure the key in the mounting. In particular, a key associated with the padlock can thus be passed through two key-holding openings, which are offset from each other and / or aligned with each other, particularly along an insertion direction of the key, and thereby be held securely on the mounting and / or the packaging.
[0069] In some embodiments, the first mounting surface can be connected to a suspension section of the packaging by a first fold line and to the second mounting surface by a second fold line, wherein the mounting can be transformed from a flat initial state into an orientation rising from the packaging plane by folding the packaging along the first fold line and along the second fold line.
[0070] In particular, the fold lines can be designed as creases to allow for a clearly defined folding of the holder into the orientation rising from the base section or the packaging plane. The second fold line can also correspond to the previously mentioned connecting line, which can form the ridge between the two holder surfaces.
[0071] In some embodiments, the second mounting surface can be connected to a fixing section, and the packaging can have a receptacle for the fixing section into which the fixing section is inserted. Furthermore, the fixing section inserted into the receptacle can stabilize the mounting in an orientation rising from the plane of the packaging.
[0072] As already mentioned, it can be provided, in particular, that the holder can be transformed into an orientation rising from the base section by folding the packaging, whereby the holder can be stabilized against unintentional folding back into a flat initial state by inserting the fixing section into the receptacle. For example, a holder rising triangularly from the base section of the packaging can, after the two holder surfaces have been folded to form the triangular shape, experience a force pushing the holder surfaces away from each other, whereby such a force can be compensated by the fixing section when it is inserted into the receptacle.In addition, the fixing section and the mount can also stabilize the holder against any tensile forces directed perpendicular to the base section, for example by allowing the mount to cover the fixing section and thus secure it against such tensile forces.
[0073] In some embodiments, the second mounting surface can be connected to the fixing section by a further fold line, and the mounting can be stabilized by folding along the further fold line and inserting the fixing section into the receptacle in the orientation rising from the packaging plane.
[0074] Therefore, the holder can be transferred into the orientation rising from the packaging plane, in particular by simply folding it along three fold lines, and stabilized in this orientation by inserting the fixing section into the receptacle, after which the padlock can be attached to the packaging by simply passing the U-bolt through at least one holder opening.
[0075] In some embodiments, the fixing section can be aligned parallel to the base section and the packaging plane if the holder is aligned in the arrangement rising from the packaging plane and / or the fixing section is arranged in the receptacle. In this respect, the fixing section can also be understood as a kind of base for the rising holder.
[0076] In some embodiments, the fixing section can be designed with a narrower width than the second mounting surface. In particular, the fixing section can also be centered on the second mounting surface.
[0077] For example, a bracket that rises in a triangular shape, or one that can be folded into an orientation rising from the base section, may experience a force opposing this folding. This force can act at least partially parallel to the base section and thus, in a sense, push the bracket surfaces apart. However, by forming the fixing section only centrally and with a smaller width on the second bracket surface, the fixing section can, for example, be inserted into the aforementioned receptacle. Sections of the second bracket surface extending beyond the fixing section can then abut the lateral boundaries of the receptacle to compensate for this force opposing the folding and thereby stabilize the bracket in its orientation rising from the base section.
[0078] In some embodiments, the packaging may have a receiving section formed from two layers of packaging material, which can form the receiving area. In such embodiments, the fixing section may be inserted between the two layers of packaging material.
[0079] In particular, the fixing section can be inserted into the receptacle when the packaging is fully formed and the support rises from the base section, in order to stabilize the support in its rising orientation. Such a receptacle can therefore also be understood as a pocket into which the fixing section can be inserted.
[0080] In some embodiments, the holder can rise from the packaging plane on a front side of the packaging, wherein the receiving section on the front side can have an insertion recess at an entrance of the receiving section, in which a front layer of the second layers of the receiving section is recessed. In particular, the insertion recess can be curved.
[0081] Such an insertion recess can, in particular, facilitate the insertion of the fixing section into the receptacle by allowing the fixing section to be pushed back behind the receptacle, for example, against the direction of insertion, while a finger can be inserted into the insertion recess. The fixing section can then be positioned below the front layer of the receptacle and subsequently inserted under the front layer and into the receptacle of the receptacle. A curved design of the insertion recess can, in particular, allow it to adapt to the finger of a person inserting the fixing section into the receptacle.
[0082] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the fixing section can be glued into the receptacle. This can provide additional stabilization.
[0083] In some embodiments, the packaging may have a back wall section to which a receiving section front layer may be connected by a receiving section fold line, wherein the back wall section and the receiving section front layer may form the two layers of the receiving section.
[0084] In particular, the receiving section can also be formed by folding the receiving section front layer relative to the back wall section, whereby the back wall section and the receiving section front layer can come into contact with each other through this folding in order to form the two-layer receiving section with the receiving section for the fixing section.
[0085] In some embodiments, the front surface of the receiving section and the rear surface section may be at least partially bonded together. However, in one area of the receiving section, this bond may be interrupted to allow the insertion of the fixing section.
[0086] Opposite the front mounting section, in some embodiments a suspension section can be connected to the rear wall section by a suspension section fold line.
[0087] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the aforementioned first mounting surface can be connected to the suspension section by the aforementioned first fold line.
[0088] In particular, the suspension section can also be foldable relative to the back wall section during the manufacturing process of the packaging, whereby the suspension section can again extend parallel to the back wall section after folding. Furthermore, the receiving section can be formed by folding the receiving section's front layer relative to the back wall section, and the base section of the packaging can be made two-layered and therefore stable at the front by the receiving section's front layer and the suspension section (possibly excluding a section where the bracket is raised).
[0089] In some embodiments, the front mounting section and / or the suspension section may be at least partially glued to the rear wall section.
[0090] In particular, the suspension section can be completely bonded to the rear wall section, whereas the front of the receiving section can be partially unbonded to the rear wall section to allow the insertion of the fixing section. However, the front of the receiving section can be bonded to the rear wall section, specifically surrounding the receptacle for the fixing section, in order to define the receptacle, particularly laterally (relative to the aforementioned width direction of the packaging), and thereby enclose the fixing section within the receptacle.
[0091] In some embodiments, the packaging may have at least one suspension opening for hanging the packaging. The suspension opening may, in particular, extend through the aforementioned rear wall section and the aforementioned suspension section. Such a suspension opening may, for example, make it possible to hang the packaging on a retail shelf to display the at least one padlock. However, two or more suspension openings may also be provided, offset from each other in the width direction of the packaging, for example, to prevent the suspended packaging from tipping over.
[0092] In some embodiments, the presentation arrangement may further include at least one padlock attached to the holder. In addition, in some embodiments, the presentation arrangement may include several padlocks attached to the holder.
[0093] In some embodiments, the padlock (attached to the bracket) may include a key for operating the padlock, which may be held in the bracket. In particular, as mentioned, the key may be inserted into a key-holding opening in the bracket. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the padlock may include several associated keys held in the bracket.
[0094] Alternatively (or additionally), the padlock can be designed with a combination locking mechanism in some embodiments.
[0095] In some embodiments, the U-shaped shackle can have a short leg and a long leg, wherein the short leg can optionally be detached from the lock body and the long leg can be permanently and / or firmly held in the lock body. Furthermore, when the short leg is detached from the lock body, the U-shaped shackle can be threaded through at least one mounting opening.
[0096] In particular, the U-bolt can be threaded through two spaced-apart mounting openings in the bracket when its short leg is detached from the lock body. Furthermore, it can be provided that the short leg detached from the lock body can pivot around the long leg remaining in the lock body.
[0097] Furthermore, as already mentioned, in some embodiments the long leg can be inserted into the side mounting opening through an insertion slot of a laterally open mounting opening. In such embodiments, the short leg can then be inserted through an internal mounting opening and into the lock body.
[0098] Alternatively, in some embodiments the U-bolt can be completely detached from the lock body, wherein the detached U-bolt can be inserted through the at least one mounting opening, in particular two mounting openings offset from each other, and into the lock body.
[0099] A U-shaped bracket that can be completely detached from the lock body can, in particular, be designed with legs of equal length or with one short leg and one long leg.
[0100] In particular, it may also be provided that the padlock is secured to the lock body in the packaging by locking the U-shackle after the U-shackle has been passed through the at least one mounting opening. The U-shackle of the padlock attached to the packaging may therefore be locked or lockable to the lock body in some embodiments.
[0101] The invention is explained below by way of example with reference to the drawings.
[0102] They show: Figs. 1A and 1B are perspective views and top views of packaging for a display arrangement for presenting at least one, and in this embodiment by way of example two, padlocks; Figs. 2A to 2C are front views, perspective views and side views of the display arrangement with padlocks attached to the packaging; Fig. 3 is a front view of another embodiment of the display arrangement with packaging in which a padlock is inserted for presentation; Fig. 4 shows a flat initial state of the packaging, from which the packaging can be folded into a usable state; Figs. 5A and 5B are respective schematic representations of a padlock attachable to the packaging with a U-shaped shackle with two legs of equal length or with a U-shaped shackle with one long and one short leg; and Fig.6A and 6Legs are respective schematic representations of further embodiments of the presentation arrangement.
[0103] The Fig. 1A und 1B Illustrating a presentation arrangement 11, which includes packaging 13 for the presentation of two padlocks 15 (see also Fig. 2A bis 2C ).
[0104] The packaging 13 has a base section 19 extending in a packaging plane V and a support 21 which rises in a triangular shape 31 from the packaging plane V and the base section 19. The support 21 comprises a first support surface 45 and a second support surface 47, which meet at a support ridge 49 formed by a connecting line 77.
[0105] On the two mounting surfaces 45 and 47, two pairs 29 of mounting openings 23 are formed, through which, as shown, Fig. 2A bis 2C To illustrate, the respective legs 18 of a respective U-shaped bracket 17 of the padlocks 15 to be presented can be passed through them in order to attach the padlocks 15 to the packaging 13 and in the holder 21. For this purpose, the U-shaped bracket 17, which passes through the holder openings 23, is further inserted into a respective lock body 16 of the padlock 15 and can, in particular, be locked therein to enable reliable attachment of the padlocks 15 in the holder 21. The holder openings 23 have a circular shape 33, which is adapted in particular to a cross-sectional shape of the U-shaped brackets 17.
[0106] Furthermore, according to the embodiment of the Fig. 1A bis 2C On the mounting surfaces 45 and 47, for example between the two pairs 29 of mounting openings 23, respective key-holding openings 35 are formed, into which at least one key 39 with a key shaft 37 assigned to the respective padlock 15 can be inserted, so that the key 39 can also be attached to the packaging 13 and received in the holder 21. As in particular the Fig. 2B and 2C To illustrate, in the embodiment shown, three keys 39 can be inserted one after the other perpendicular to the packaging plane V into the key holding openings 35 and held therein.
[0107] With regard to the presentation of the padlocks 15 on the packaging 13, it is thus provided that the fastening and / or locking of the U-bolt 17 to the padlock body 16 is also used to secure the padlocks 15 in the packaging 13 and to the bracket 21. For this purpose, the legs 18 of the U-bolt 17 can be passed through the aforementioned pairs 29 of bracket openings 23 and locked to the padlock body 16, so that the padlock 15 can be visibly held on the bracket 21 of the packaging 13 from the outside. This can, in particular, make it possible to hold the padlocks 15 securely on the packaging 13 and to inspect them directly from the outside, without having to arrange the padlocks 15 in a transparent and enclosed receptacle.Therefore, the packaging 13 can be made from virtually any material, including sustainable materials such as cardboard, carton, and / or paper, since the choice of material is no longer limited by the requirement to present the padlocks 15 in a transparent and enclosed container. Similarly, manufacturing from recycled plastic, for example, is also a possibility.
[0108] Furthermore, the mounting openings 23 of each pair 29 of mounting openings 23 are based on the Fig. 1A bis 2C In the illustrated embodiment, the U-shaped shackles 17 of the padlocks 15 are offset from one another along a lateral direction B parallel to the packaging plane V, so that they can be arranged in a shackle plane E parallel to the packaging plane V. The mounting openings 23 are also arranged perpendicular to the packaging plane V relative to the base section 19, providing sufficient space for the padlock body 16 of each padlock 15 and allowing the padlock body 16 to be oriented substantially parallel to the packaging plane V when the padlock 15 is attached to the packaging 13 (see in particular the illustration). Fig. 2C ).
[0109] Alternatively, for example, the mounting openings 23 of each pair 29 of mounting openings 23 could be arranged perpendicular to the packaging plane V in order to receive and hold a padlock 15 perpendicular to the packaging plane V in the holder 21, as shown schematically in Fig. 6B is illustrated. Furthermore, several pairs 29 with mounting openings 23 offset in the width direction B could be provided perpendicular to the packaging plane V in order to be able to arrange several padlocks 15 parallel to the packaging plane V and perpendicular to the packaging plane V one behind the other.
[0110] In contrast to the mounting openings 23 spaced apart from the base section 19, the key mounting openings 35 are formed directly adjacent to the base section 19 and are limited on one side by the base section 19, so that the inserted keys 39 can be supported against any tilting on the flat base section 19 (see also in particular Fig. 2C ). In addition, the key holding openings 35 have a rectangular basic shape, so that the key holding openings 35 are adapted to a cross-sectional shape of the key shaft 35 of the keys 39 to be used.
[0111] Furthermore, the key holding openings 35 are arranged such that the inserted keys 39 can be connected to the U-bolt 17 of one of the padlocks 15 by means of a key ring 41, so that the keys 39 are reliably secured in the holder 21 against being removed from the holder 21 via the key ring 41 and the U-bolt 17 (cf. Fig. 2A und 2B as well as Fig. 3 ).
[0112] The aforementioned triangular shape 31 of the holder 21 further enables the holder surfaces 45 and 47, and thus also the holder openings 23, which are basically formed with a circular shape 33, to be inclined to the packaging plane V, so that, as Fig. 2C This illustrates that a cross-sectional width 75 in a viewing plane perpendicular to the packaging plane V of the mounting openings 23 is less than a diameter of the circular shape 33. In particular, the diameter of the circular shape 33 can correspond to a width of the U-shape 17 of the padlock 15 to be received, so that the U-shape 17 can be easily wedged in the mounting openings 23 and thereby stabilized.
[0113] Furthermore, the following are based on the Fig. 1A bis 2C In the illustrated embodiment, the respective lateral mounting openings 25 are designed to be open laterally and have an insertion slot 27 for inserting a leg 18 of the U-bolt 17 of the padlock 15 to be fastened.
[0114] How Fig. 5B To illustrate, a padlock 15, for example, may have a U-shaped shackle 17 with a long leg 18' and a short leg 18, whereby only the short leg 18 can be selectively detached from the lock body 16, whereas the long leg 18' remains permanently in the lock body 16. In the Fig. 5B In the illustrated open position of the padlock 15, the short leg 18 is detached from the lock body 16 and can, for example, pivot around the long leg 18. By inserting the short leg 18 into the insertion opening 20 and locking the short leg 18 to the lock body 16, the U-shaped shackle 17 can be secured to the lock body 16 and locked against detachment from the lock body 16.
[0115] In particular, the fastening of such padlocks 15 with legs 18 and 18' of different lengths can be simplified by designing the bracket 21 with laterally open bracket openings 25. For example, the Fig. 5B The illustrated padlock 15, with its short leg 18 detached from the lock body 16, can be inserted into the holder 21 from the outside by inserting the long leg 18', still attached to the lock body 16, into one of the insertion slots 27. In the Fig. 5B In the orientation shown, the padlock 15 could thus be inserted into the U-bolt 17 in the position shown. Fig. 1A bis 2B The long leg 18' is inserted into the right-hand side mounting opening 25 or its insertion slot 27. After this insertion, the short leg 18 can be inserted into the lock body 16 and guided through the inner mounting opening 23 of the pair 29 of mounting openings 23, thus easily attaching the padlock 15 to the packaging 13.
[0116] Fig. 5A The figure also schematically illustrates that the U-shaped shackle 17 of a padlock 15 to be presented can, for example, also be designed with legs 18 of equal length and can optionally be completely detachable from the lock body 16, whereby the legs 18 can also be inserted into respective insertion openings 20 of the lock body 16 and locked in the lock body 16 by a locking mechanism (not shown) which can be operated, for example, by means of the keys 35 (cf. Fig. 5A ).
[0117] Fig. 5B Figure 1 shows (in addition to the design of the U-shaped shackle 17 with legs 18 and 18' of different lengths) that the padlock 15 to be presented can alternatively (or additionally) have a combination locking mechanism 87 in addition to operation by a key 39, in order to selectively lock the short leg 18 to the lock body 16 or release it from the lock body 16. The design of locking mechanisms or combination locking mechanisms operated by a key 39 is generally known to those skilled in the art, so that it need not be discussed in more detail here.
[0118] Fig. 3 Figure 1 illustrates a further embodiment of the presentation arrangement 11 and its packaging 13, wherein the packaging 13 according to this embodiment is designed to hold and present only one padlock 15. This packaging 13 also features a holder 21 rising from a base section 19 and a packaging level V, the holder surfaces 45 and 47 of which, however, provide only one pair 29 of holder openings 23 each. Furthermore, the holder openings 23 are, in the case of the Fig. 3 In the illustrated embodiment, all parts are exceptionally closed and in particular circular, so that the U-shaped bracket 17 can be passed through the mounting openings 23 not laterally, but parallel to the packaging plane V.
[0119] Such embodiments can be used in particular for fastening a padlock 15 according to the design based on Fig. 5A The illustrated type is provided in which the U-bolt 17 is completely detachable from the lock body 16, so that the detached U-bolt 17 can be inserted, for example, from above through the mounting openings 23 and then into the lock body 16 to fasten the padlock 15 to the packaging 13. However, such packaging 13 can also be used to hold padlocks 15 whose U-bolt 17 is designed according to the illustration. Fig. 5B The U-shaped bracket 17 has legs 18 and 18' of different lengths, and such a U-shaped bracket 17 can, for example, be threaded through the two mounting openings 23. Furthermore, in the embodiment according to... Fig. 3 Key holding openings 35 are arranged laterally on the bracket 21 and next to the bracket openings 23, so that an inner bracket opening 23 is arranged between the outer bracket opening 23 and the key holding opening 35.
[0120] Furthermore, particularly when presenting padlocks 15 that can only be operated by a combination locking mechanism and do not require keys 39, it may be provided that the holder 21 of the packaging 13 intended for presentation does not have a key holding opening 35.
[0121] Furthermore, in general, both in the embodiment according to the Fig. 1A bis 2C as well as in the embodiment according to Fig. 3 The holder 21 is designed to extend along a width direction B of the packaging 13 over the entire width 43 of the packaging, so that this entire width 43 can be used to form the holder 21. Furthermore, both packages 13 have a suspension opening 73 to allow the packaging 13, with padlock(s) 15 inserted, to be hung, for example, on a retail shelf and the padlock(s) 15 to be displayed.
[0122] Another embodiment of the presentation arrangement 11 is shown schematically in Fig. 6A Illustrated, the bracket 21 in this embodiment has only one mounting opening 23 (or mutually aligned mounting openings 23) for one leg 18 of the U-shape 17 of the presented padlock 15, whereas the other leg 18 of the U-shape 17 is not guided through a mounting opening 23. However, this padlock 15 can also be securely attached to the bracket 21 and presented visibly from the outside without having to be enclosed in a recess. Furthermore, illustrated Fig. 6A , that the bracket 21 can also have a rectangular cross-section, in which case the bracket ridge 49 can be formed by a section of the bracket 21 furthest from the base section 19.
[0123] As already mentioned, the packaging 13 of the presentation arrangement 11 disclosed herein thus makes it possible to present padlocks 15 in a simple and immediately visible manner, without requiring closed and transparent receptacles for the padlocks 15. Furthermore, the production of the packaging 13 can also be carried out in a simple manner, for example, by providing the packaging 13 in a flat initial state A, and in particular as a stamped part and / or as a flat material, so that it can be folded into a working state G with a holder 21 rising from the packaging plane V.
[0124] Fig. 4 Figure 1 shows the packaging 13 in its flat initial state A. The packaging 13 has a back wall section 63 to which a suspension section 69 is attached by a suspension section fold line 71. By folding the suspension section 69 along a fold direction F onto the back wall section 63, the respective suspension openings 73 formed on the back wall section 63 and the suspension section 69 can be superimposed on each other, and the suspension section 69 can, for example, be glued to the back wall section 63 to form a two-layer structure.
[0125] Opposite the suspension section fold line 71, the rear wall section 63 is connected by a receiving section fold line 65 to a receiving section front layer 67, which forms a front layer 51 of a two-layer receiving section 85. By folding the receiving section front layer 67 towards the rear wall section 63 in the opposite direction to the folding direction F, and in particular by partially bonding the receiving section front layer 67 to the rear wall section 63, the receiving section 85 can thus be formed in two layers, with a part of the rear wall section 63 forming a rear layer 53 and the folded receiving section front layer 67 forming a front layer 51 of the receiving section 85.Furthermore, a receptacle 83 for a fixing section 79 is formed on the front surface 67 of the receiving section, wherein the holder 21 can be fixed by inserting the fixing section 79 into the receptacle 83 in the orientation rising from the packaging plane V, as will be explained in more detail below. In particular, the receptacle 83 can be formed by only partially bonding the front surface 67 of the receiving section to the rear wall section 63, and not in a section defining the receptacle 83.
[0126] Opposite the suspension section fold line 71, the suspension section 69 is connected to the first mounting surface 45 by a first fold line 55, which is connected to the second mounting surface 47 by a second fold line 57. The second fold line 57 forms, in particular, the connecting line 77, which, in the operating state G, defines the mounting ridge 49 of the bracket 21. Therefore, especially after folding the suspension section 69 relative to the rear wall section 63, the bracket 21 can be transformed into the triangular shape 31 rising from the packaging plane V by folding the first mounting surface 45 around the first fold line 55 relative to the suspension section 69 and the second mounting surface 47 around the second fold line 57 relative to the first mounting surface 45.
[0127] Furthermore, opposite the second fold line 57, the aforementioned fixing section 79 is connected to the second mounting surface 47 via another fold line 81. The fixing section 79 does not extend over the entire width of the second mounting surface 47, but is only formed in a central section of the second mounting surface 47 corresponding to the receptacle 83. After the holder 21 has been transformed into the triangular shape 31, the fixing section 79 can therefore also be folded relative to the second mounting surface 47 around the further fold line 81 in order to be aligned parallel to the receptacle 85 and thus to the base section 19 and the packaging plane V, and to be inserted into the receptacle 83.To facilitate this insertion, an insertion recess 61 is formed on the front surface 67 of the suspension section, so that the fixing section 79 can, for example, be pushed back behind the front surface 67 of the receiving section with a thumb and then inserted into the receptacle 83. The front surface 67 of the receiving section can therefore cover the fixing section 79 after insertion into the receptacle 83 and secure it against loosening. Furthermore, sections of the mounting surface 47 that extend laterally beyond the fixing section 79 can abut sections of the front surface 67 of the suspension section that also extend laterally beyond the receptacle 83, thus preventing the mounting 71 from unfolding.
