Abstract
Description
[0001] D E S C R I P T I O N
[0002] A SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING SUITABLE FOR USE AS A CARRIER
[0003] Technical Field
[0004] The invention is related to packaging made of paper, cardboard, wood, plastic, etc., which protects the product from external factors and facilitates operations such as carrying, storage, distribution, promotion and advertising by keeping the products that are placed inside together.
[0005] Prior Art
[0006] Products made of paper, cardboard, wood, plastic, etc., which protect the products from external factors and facilitate operations such as carrying, storing, distributing, promoting and advertising by keeping the products placed inside together, are called packaging.
[0007] In shopping places such as grocery stores, markets and greengrocers, bags made of various materials in various shapes are used to bundle the purchased products together and carry them easily. In addition, products that are large in volume and / or weight, such as cat and dog food, charcoal for barbecues, laundry / dish washer detergents, salt and sugar, can be produced in self-bagged form. Self-bagged products are also known as hand-held bags.
[0008] The mouth part of the packages used in the current technique is sealed by heat sealing. Packages that are cut or tom open cannot be reused. After the material inside the packaging is used, the packaging is thrown away. It is not a sustainable and economic product.
[0009] In the current technique, the hand grips of the products produced with hand-held pouches can tear due to the heavy load they are exposed to. It can also cut or damage the person's hand. It does not have a long-term ergonomic use. In addition, the bags used are disposable and not sustainable. In the Turkish national utility model document with the code 2011 / 06156 included in the current technique, a bag for retail sales is mentioned. Said bag ensures that the product or products sold can be carried easily by the consumer. The relevant bag can be carried with a handle, rope or hand-held section and is manufactured without seams. In the product in question, it is mentioned that a conjoined bag is produced without the use of sewing.
[0010] In the Turkish national utility model document with the code 2008 / 03092 included in the current technique, the public transport handle for bags is mentioned. Said carrying handle has bag positioning space and side walls to enable easy carrying of the bag from a shorter distance. The product in question is not a bag, but a handle produced independently of the bag.
[0011] Purpose of the Invention
[0012] The purpose of the invention is to obtain a sustainable hand-held packaging that allows reuse after purchase, after the product inside has been used.
[0013] Another purpose of the invention is to provide an ergonomic hand-held package having the function of a sustainable carrier.
[0014] The packaging developed to achieve the above-mentioned purposes includes a handle (10) which is made of two parts to ensure that the package can be opened and closed when requested or in case of need, and has an ergonomic handle surface to provide ease of carrying without damaging the fingers of the user or the carrier during transportation.

[0032] Explanation of the Invention
[0033] The invention relates to packaging made of paper, cardboard, wood, plastic, etc., which protects the product from external factors and facilitates operations such as carrying, storage, distribution, promotion and advertising by keeping the products placed inside together. The package subject to the invention comprises a handle
[0034] (10) and a body (20).
[0035] The handle (10) is located on the upper part of the packaging body (20) subject to the invention. The handle (10) consists of two identical parts. There are fixing parts
[0036] (11) on each part. The fixing part (11) consists of a protrusion (11.1) and a recess
[0037] (11.2). Said recesses (11.2) and protrusions (11.1) are of a shape and size that can pass into each other. In alternative embodiments of the invention, the handle may also comprise two different parts. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the handle (10) is made of plastic derivative material. In alternative embodiments, the handle (10) can also be made of different materials such as wood, metal, etc. In other alternative embodiments, the handle (10) can also be produced from a combination of plastic-metal, plastic-wood, metal-wood materials.
[0038] The protrusion (11.1) in one part of the handle (10) is inserted into the recess (11.2) in the other part, so that the two parts of said handle (10) are secured together. With the handle (10) made of two parts, the package can be opened and closed as desired or required.
[0039] A set (13) is provided between the space (14) on the inside of the handle (10) and the assembly part (12). The set (13), when the two parts of the handle (10) are joined together, provides an increase in the holding surface area required for the user to carry the carrying tool comfortably. This prevents the user's hand from being cut or damaged. In addition, the set (13) prevents the weight of the packaging / carrying tool from resting on the assembly part (12) and ensures that the said weight rests on the handle (10). The handle (10) has an ergonomic grip surface. Thanks to its ergonomic grip surface, it provides ease of transportation without damaging the fingers of the user or the carrier during transportation.
[0040] In order to ensure the fixing of the handle (10) to the packaging, there is a assembly part (12) having a certain width located on the inside of said handle (10). The handle (10) is secured to the package by means of sewing, gluing, welding, etc. on said mounting portion (12).
[0041] A space (14) is provided in the central part of the handle (10). The space (14) enables the user to comfortably handle and carry the transport device by groping. The size of the space (14) may vary depending on the packaging used and the contents of the packaging.
[0042] There is a sealing part (21) on the packaging body (20). The sealing part (21) ensures that the product placed in the package does not spill and is protected. The sealing part (21) is sewn closed by chain stitching method with the help of special machines. Thanks to the chain stitches, the sealing part (21) can be opened easily and simply without damaging the packaging. In alternative embodiments of the invention, the sealing part (21) can also be closed with sewing techniques such as overlock and roving, which can be easily removed and do not cause much damage to the body (20). In this way, the same product can also be used as a transportation device after being used as a package. In alternative embodiments of the invention, the closure part (21) can also be closed by gluing, ultrasonic welding, etc.
[0043] The packaging subject to the invention can also be used as a carrying tool after the product is used after purchase. The packaging is washable. The packaging is made of recyclable polypropylene material, which is environmentally friendly. In this way, a more sustainable packaging and carrying material is obtained. In alternative embodiments of the invention, the packaging can be produced from other materials such as other thermoplastic polymers and fabrics.
[0044] A packaging made of paper, cardboard, wood, plastic, etc. that protects the product from external factors and facilitates operations such as carrying, storage, distribution, promotion and advertising by keeping the products placed in it together and characterized in that; including,
[0045] - the handle (10), which is made of two parts to ensure that the package can be opened and closed when desired or needed, and has an ergonomic grip surface to provide ease of handling without damaging the fingers of the user or carrier during transportation, and a sealing part (21) to ensure that the product placed in it is not spilled and protected, and that it can be opened easily and simply without damaging the packaging in order to ensure that it can be used as a carrying tool after it is used as a package.
