Definitions

• the invention relates to a foldable packaging, in particular a gift packaging, with a lid and a lower part.
• Packaging is releasable wrapping of a good.
• the packaging ordinance differentiates between transport, sales and repackaging.
• Transport packaging is used to protect goods from damage from the manufacturer to the distributor, or they are used for reasons of transport safety.
• Outer packagings are blisters, foils, cardboard boxes or similar wrappers.
• Sales packaging is closed or open containers and wrappings of goods that are used by the end user for transport or until the goods are consumed.
• Sales packaging in the broadest sense also includes gift packaging.
• the simplest form of packaging for gifts is made from specially designed paper, into which the respective gift can be wrapped. Ribbon or the like is attached to the packaging for decoration.
• a disadvantage of this type of gift packaging is in particular that a certain dexterity and practice is required for the packaging to succeed.
• Pre-made gift packaging is known to avoid this problem.
• These containers mostly made of cardboard or the like are available in different sizes.
• the transport and storage of these prefabricated gift packs is problematic, since these box-shaped or cylindrical containers without content have to be transported from the manufacturer to the retailer and have a considerable transport volume.
• the storage of these gift packaging in retail is difficult due to the high space requirement.
• Foldable packaging is also known in principle. This foldable packaging is also predominantly made of cardboard or the like. However, such foldable packaging essentially serves as transport packaging. Such foldable packaging is usually closed after assembly with the aid of adhesive strips. For this reason, they cannot be used as gift packaging.
• the invention seeks to remedy this.
• the object of the invention is to create a foldable packaging, in particular for gifts, which on the one hand meets the high requirements for the appearance of a gift packaging and on the other hand requires little space during transport and storage. According to the invention, this object is achieved in that fittings are provided on the cover and the lower part.
• the invention creates a packaging, in particular a gift packaging, which meets the high requirements for the appearance of gift packaging.
• the packaging takes up little space both for transport and storage.
• the handling of the packaging is improved by the provision of the fittings.
• the fittings are formed by hinges and / or at least one lock.
• Closure on the packaging creates a high-quality appearance and at the same time creates an appropriate closure option for a gift packaging.
• a reclamping is provided on the packaging.
• the strap is preferably made of textiles.
• Figure 1 is a front view of a package
• Figure 2 is a left side view of the package shown in Figure 1;
• Figure 3 shows the side view from the left of the package shown in Figure 1 with partially opened lid;
• Figure 4 is the rear view of the package shown in Figure 1;
• FIG. 5 is a top view of the package shown in Figure 1 with the lid fully open;
• FIG. 6 shows the side view from the left of the packaging shown in FIG. 5;
• FIG. 7 the bottom view of the packaging in the unfolded state
• FIG. 8 shows the side view from the left of the packaging shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 9 shows the front view of the packaging shown in FIG. 7.
• the packaging chosen as an exemplary embodiment is a box-shaped container which is provided with a lid 1 and a lower part 2.
• the lid 1 is pivotally attached to the lower part 2.
• fittings are provided on the cover 1 and the lower part 2. These are formed on the rear side of the container by hinges 3.
• the fittings are formed by a closure 4 on the front.
• the packaging according to the invention is foldable. In the exemplary embodiment, it is made of cardboard. In a modification of the exemplary embodiment, the use of other materials for the packaging is possible. In addition, in a modification of the exemplary embodiment, it is possible to provide the packaging with, for example, a textile strap. Other measures for changing the external appearance are also possible. Flexible materials are preferably used here in order not to impair the folding properties of the packaging.
• the lid 1 consists of four side walls 1 1, which are not releasably connected to each other.
• the lid 1 has a bottom 1 2, which is arranged at right angles to the side walls 1 1 in the non-folded state.
• the floor 1 2 consists of four partial areas 121, 122, 1 23 and 1 24 (FIG. 5).
• the partial areas are each non-releasably connected to the side walls 11 on one side.
• the surfaces 1 21 to 1 24 are pivotally arranged on the side walls 1 1. In the embodiment this is guaranteed by a kind of film hinge. At their ends facing away from the side walls 1 1, the surfaces 121 to 1 24 are free.
• FIG. 5 The partial areas 121, 122, 1 23 and 1 24
• the surfaces 121 to 124 are detachably connected to the respectively adjacent surfaces, so that the bottom 12 of the cover 1 is formed.
• slots or tabs can alternately be provided in the surfaces in a modification of the exemplary embodiment.
• the slots can be arranged in the surfaces 121 and 123, and the tabs corresponding to them on the surfaces 1 22 and 1 24. The tabs then engage in the slots when the packaging is not folded.
• the invention is not limited to the type of folding described. Other folds are possible and are also encompassed by the invention.
• the surfaces 1 21 to 1 24 are not aligned at right angles to the side walls 11, but essentially parallel to them.
• the side walls 11 can then be moved relative to one another, so that they essentially form the shape of a parallelogram when viewed from above (FIG. 7).
• the lower part 2 consists of four side walls 21 which are not releasably connected to one another.
• the lower part 2 has a bottom 22 which is arranged at right angles to the side walls 21 in the non-folded state.
• the floor 22 consists of four partial areas 221, 222, 223 and 224 (FIG. 5).
• the partial surfaces are each non-releasably connected to the side walls 21 on one side.
• the surfaces 221 to 224 are pivotally arranged on the side walls 21. In the exemplary embodiment, this is ensured by a type of film hinge.
• the surfaces 221 to 224 are free at their ends facing away from the side walls 21. In the illustration according to FIG.
• the surfaces 221 to 224 are detachably connected to the respectively adjacent surfaces, so that the bottom 22 of the lower part 2 is formed.
• slots or tabs can alternately be provided in the surfaces in a modification of the exemplary embodiment.
• the slots can be arranged in the surfaces 221 and 223, the tabs corresponding to them on the surfaces 222 and 224. The tabs then engage in the slots when the packaging is not folded.
• the folding is not limited to the type of folding described. Other folds are possible and are also encompassed by the invention.
• the surfaces 221 to 224 are not aligned at right angles to the side walls 21 but essentially parallel to them.
• the side walls 21 are then displaceable relative to one another, so that they essentially form the shape of a parallelogram when viewed from above (FIG. 7).
• the hinges 3 are designed in a manner known per se. They each consist of two hinge tabs 31 and 32, the hinge tab 31 each being attached to the cover 1 and the hinge tab 32 each to the lower part 2.
• the hinge tab 31 is designed as a roller 33, the hinge tab 32 as a roller 34.
• the rollers 33 and 34 intermesh like a comb and are penetrated by a hinge wire, which is not visible.
• the rollers 33 and 34 each form a hinge joint with the hinge wire.
• each hinge flap 31 and 32 is bent essentially at right angles and is provided in the angled plane with drive-in tips with which each hinge is introduced into the cover 1 or the lower part 2. Other types of hinge and attachment are used possible.
• the closure 4 consists of an upper part 41 and a lower part 42.
• the upper and lower parts each have a stop part 43 and 44, respectively.
• a closure flap 45 is articulated in the stop part 43 belonging to the upper part 41.
• the opening in the closure cap 45 engages over the stop part 44 of the lower part 42 in the closed position of the closure in the closed position.
• Other configurations of closure flaps and their attachment to the stop part 43 are possible.
• a tongue 46 is also provided on the stop part 43 of the upper part 41 on the side facing the lower part 42. In the closed state of the closure, the tongue 46 is arranged in an opening 47 provided in the lower part 42.
• the tongue 46 and the opening 47 serve to fix the position of the upper and lower part of the closure 4.
• the side walls 11 and 21 of the packaging which are provided in the manner of two parallelograms with respect to one another, create a packaging which can be folded flat and which requires only a very small amount of space during transport and storage.
• the packaging according to the invention when not folded, fulfills all the requirements placed on it.
• the hinges 3 which have already been attached and the closure 4 which has already been attached have made a high-quality impression despite the foldability of the packaging. It is therefore able to replace known packaging, especially gift packaging.
