Definitions

  • the invention relates to a folding box of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Folding boxes of this type are known, for example, from DE-GBM-72 08 095 and DE-A-42 26 226.
  • a problem with such folding boxes is that restoring forces act in the bending lines of the lid and the flaps folded in under it, which stress the adhesive connection and seek to loosen it. In order to achieve a secure bond, the lid and flaps have to be pressed against each other with considerable effort, until a full-surface bond is achieved.
  • the closing process in such folding boxes is not optimally simple, since flaps and lids must be folded and held in the closed position at the same time and the pressure necessary for the production of the adhesive connection must be exerted on the adhesive areas.
  • the invention has for its object to improve a folding box of the type mentioned so that both the fixation of the lid in the closed position is improved, the folding box is closed on all sides and the closing process of the box is simplified.
  • the achievement of the object is specified in claim 1.
  • Claims 2 and 3 indicate preferred further refinements.
  • the processes of fixing the lid in the closed position and producing the adhesive connection between the lid and flaps are functionally separated from one another in an advantageous manner.
  • the lid can first be closed and fixed in the closed position by mechanical locking, and then, in the already closed state of the box, the cover foils can be pulled out laterally under the lid, thereby producing the adhesive connection between the lid and flaps.
  • the folding box shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a bottom 1, side walls 2, 3, 4, 5 and a lid 6, which is connected to the rear side wall 2 via a bending line 7.
  • the cover 6 On its free edge 8 parallel to the bending line 7, the cover 6 is provided with an angled tongue 9 with a slot 10.
  • a tongue 11 attached to the front side wall 3 can be inserted into the slot 10 in order to mechanically lock the cover 6 in the closed position (FIG. 2).
  • a tab 12 projecting outward from the tongue 11 the tongue 11 can be pulled out of the slot 10 in order to release the lock.
  • a foldable dust flap 14, 15 is provided on each of the side walls 4, 5 extending at right angles to the bending line 7 of the cover 6, which lies in the folded state under the cover 6 and is overlapped by it.
  • Each dust flap 14, 15 is provided parallel to its folded edge with adhesive surfaces 17, in particular in the form of adhesive strips, which are covered with an easily removable peel-off film 19, in particular a cover strip.
  • a grip part 19a of each release film 19 projects forward over the front side wall 3.
  • the adhesive surfaces 17 and release films 19 are in the form of strips which extend continuously over the length of each dust flap.
  • the dust flaps 14, 15 are first folded in and then the lid 6 is brought into the closed position and fixed by inserting the tongue 11 into the slot 10, so that the state according to FIG. 2 is reached. Subsequently, the grip parts 19a of the peel-off films 19 projecting beyond the front side wall 3 can be gripped and pulled out laterally under the cover 6 are, as indicated in Fig. 2 by the arrow 21. As a result, the contact adhesive surfaces 17 are exposed under the closed cover 6, and by pressing the corresponding areas of the cover 6, these can be glued to the dust flaps 14, 15 located underneath.
  • the peel-off film 19 is preferably pulled off from the adhesive surfaces 17 in such a way that the protective films 19 are bent upwards and in each case are pulled away from the folding box outwards over themselves.
  • This manner of pulling out the cover films 19 can be facilitated in particular by the fact that the grip parts 19a of the protective films 19 protrude from the folding box to a sufficient length and a suitable crease 20 is pre-folded therein, which indicates the pull-off movement.
  • FIGS. 3a and 3b two embodiments of such a handle part 19a provided with a kink are shown in detailed drawings of the folding box according to FIG. 2.
  • perforation lines 23 The lateral regions 16 of the cover 6 lying above the dust flaps 14, 15 are separated from the central part of the cover by perforation lines 23. This makes it easier to open the box, since it is not necessary to loosen the adhesive connection on the adhesive surfaces 17, but only the middle part of the lid 6 is separated from the side parts 16 along the perforation lines 23.
  • Each perforation line 23 can preferably also be designed as a double perforation line on both sides of a tear strip 22, which enables a comfortable and reliable separation of the middle cover part from the lateral areas 16 of the cover.
  • Such a tear strip 22 is shown in FIG. 4 only in the right part of the cover 6, but can of course also be designed accordingly in the left part of the cover 6. You can also when the cover is closed but not yet glued, the side parts 16 of the cover are slightly raised along the perforation lines 23 relative to the central part of the cover 6 in order to facilitate the removal of the cover films 19 from under the cover 6.
  • FIG. 1 Another embodiment of a folding box according to the invention is shown in FIG.
  • the foldable dust flaps 14, 15 are each extended from the side walls 4, 5 to the center of the folding box so far that in the closed state the perforation lines 23 or the tear strips 22 rest on the folded-in dust flaps 14, 15 and the folded-in dust flaps 14 , 15 at least partially overlap with the central part of the cover 6 delimited by the perforation lines 22, 23.
  • additional downward-angled flaps 24, 25 are provided on the free edges of the dust flaps 14, 15 removed from the bending line 7, in order to prevent a gap between when the cover is glued by pulling up the cover 6 and thus the dust flaps 14 or 15 the dust flaps 14, 15 and the upper edge of the front side wall 3 can be opened, through which the contents of the folding box could be viewed or removed.
  • the angled tongue 9 is extended along the free edge 8 of the cover 6 parallel to the bending line 7 such that it overlaps at least partially with the downwardly angled flaps 24, 25 of the foldable dust flaps 14, 15 in the closed state. This ensures that the folding box is closed on all sides, and it is impossible to view the contents or remove it without visibly damaging the folding box.
  • the contact adhesive surfaces 17 with cover films 19 are also provided on the underside of the cover 6 instead of on the dust flaps 14, 15.
  • the flaps, and thus the adhesive surfaces for connecting the flaps with the lid can also on other side walls, for. B. be attached to the front side wall 3.
  • Both the surface areas 17 provided with contact adhesive and their cover films 19 need not be designed as strips, but can have any shape.
  • the contact adhesive surfaces 17 do not necessarily have to be shaped as a coherent surface, but can also be divided into a number of individual partial surfaces.
  • cover film 19 can consist of several separate parts, but is preferably designed as a coherent strip.
  • the cover films 19 can be made of any material that has the property of being easily peelable from contact adhesive surfaces, such as e.g. coated plastic or paper.
  • the contact adhesive itself can be replaced or supplemented by any adhesive bonding agent.
