- B65D2215/00—Child-proof means
- B65D2215/04—Child-proof means requiring the combination of different actions in succession
Definitions
- the invention relates to a package, in particular a folding box composed of cardboard or cardboard laminate, as claimed in the precharacterizing clause of claim 1 .
- Packages of this type are used for different purposes, including, inter alia, for the packaging of medicaments in the pharmaceutical industry. They can be produced easily, filled and sealed on automatic packaging lines, and, furthermore, they are user-friendly. Until the contents of the package have been finally consumed, the package can be repeatedly sealed by means of the insert cover.
- One object of the invention is therefore to provide a package of the type mentioned initially which is likewise child-proof without any adverse affect on the other functions, that is to say a package which can be opened only by knowledge of specific manipulation actions.
- the expression child-proof is defined by the relevant guidelines, with which those skilled in the art will be familiar. According to these guidelines, it must not be possible for the package to be opened within a specific time within a randomly selected group of children of a specific age class.
- the stated object is achieved by a package which has the features of claim 1 .
- the arrangement of the locking means on the insert tongue ensures in a very simple way that a correctly sealed package is secured, and that no additional manipulation actions are required for security.
- the latch can be released only by deliberate application of force to the locking means, and this function is not evident to children.
- the package is user-friendly even for relatively elderly people, and the opening process does not require any complicated manipulation actions.
- the application of force to the locking means and the opening of the insert cover preferably take place at the same time, in order to achieve a high degree of security. The necessity to carry out two movements simultaneously is not evident to children.
- the locking means latches in again only after resealing.
- the locking means is a locking strip which is arranged on the insert tongue and, together with the insert tongue, forms an element with a V-shaped cross section, whose tip points toward the base and whose end facing the insert cover can be latched in behind a locking edge in the area of the holding opening.
- a locking strip such as this can absorb relatively large forces, although the lock can be released even by a small amount of pressure.
- the locking strip in this case forms a type of locking catch which does not produce any major resistance to the closing of the cover.
- the holding opening for the insert tongue may at least partially be arranged in an additional wall section which is connected to an end side wall section and runs parallel to the base when the package is closed, with the locking edge being formed by an edge area of the holding opening in the additional wall section.
- the holding opening it would also be feasible for the holding opening to be arranged exclusively on one end side wall section, or even on the base of the package.
- the locking strip may face the end side wall section, with at least one unlocking opening being arranged in the end side wall section, through which a force can be exerted on the locking strip in order to release the latch.
- the locking strip may also face away from the end side wall section, with at least one unlocking opening being arranged in the insert cover, through which a force can be exerted on the locking strip in order to release the latch.
- the locking strip it is also feasible for the locking strip to face away from the end side wall section, and for at least one unlocking opening to be arranged in the base, through which a force can be exerted on the locking strip in order to release the latch.
- the unlocking opening allows access to the locking strip, although this on its own is not yet sufficient to open the cover. In addition, it is necessary to know the way in which force must be applied to the locking strip in order to release the lock.
- the latch not to be released by direct action on the locking strip, but by a relative movement between the insert cover and the end side wall section or the additional wall section. This can be achieved solely by appropriate deformation of the closed package, for which purpose the necessary pressure points must be known.
- a supporting wall section may be arranged on the additional wall section and is arranged running adjacent to the locking edge, approximately parallel to the end side wall section.
- the additional wall section ensures that the locking strip is always held in the correct locked position. This is particularly important when the locking strip is not fixed but is designed in a freely sprung manner. In a situation such as this, the supporting wall section limits the maximum possible opening angle of the locking strip. The robustness of the package is further increased by the additional wall section.
- the unlocking openings can be sealed by means of a guarantee section which can be knocked out, in order to ensure a guarantee function. It is therefore impossible to access the locking strip, and thus to open the package, without removing the guarantee section, thus also providing an indication of opening for the first time, in a very simple manner.
- a guarantee section such as this may, of course, also seal the grip openings, which were mentioned above, in the base and/or in the insert cover.
- the additional wall section may extend as far as the rear side wall section, with a guarantee opening which is sealed by means of a guarantee section being arranged in the rear side wall section.
- the outer edge of the additional wall section facing the rear aide wall section furthermore has a guarantee tongue which passes through the guarantee opening when the latch is first released.
- This guarantee function is particularly suitable for those latches which can be released by relative movement between the cover and end side wall section or additional wall section.
- the end of the locking strip may be designed such that it is freely sprung. This has the advantage that no additional adhesion operations or the like are required.
- the end of the locking strip it is also possible for the end of the locking strip to be connected via a connecting section to the insert cover or to the insert tongue. In this case, the locking strip together with the insert tongue always forms a robust wedge with a constant wedge angle.
- the additional wall section mentioned above is in the form of a supporting section which can be unfolded and on which a packaged item is held such that it cannot be lost.
- the supporting section may be fitted with a blister film with a welded-in packaged item, having openings through which the packaged item can be pushed out of the blister film.
- the supporting section which has been mentioned may be formed from two layers, with the blister film being held between the two layers.
- the supporting section could also be fitted with another packaged item, such as individual containers or the like which can be torn off.
- a blister film can also be sealed to the additional wall section such that it can be pivoted out freely.
- the package is also advantageous for the package to be approximately cuboid and for it to have two hollow side walls, which run at right angles to the rear side wall section and each have an outer wall and an inner wall, which can be erected like a parallelogram from the plane of the base.
- the hollow side walls result in particularly advantageous robustness, with the package being resistant, in particular, to pressure.
- the prefabricated blank may be delivered in the flat state, in which case this blank can easily be handled on the packaging line.
- the side wall of the package may have four side wall sections which can be unfolded and are connected via in each case one hinge fold at the mutually abutting ends.
- each side wall section can be folded out on its own into the plane of the base, which results in advantages in the filling of the package, depending on the package type. On the other hand, this also ensures a dust-tight connection, which is protected against access, at the corners of the package.
- the side wall of the package and the outline of the base could, of course, also be designed to be polygonal or curved.
- a straight side wall section should be arranged only in the area of the insert tongue over a specific distance, in order to ensure secure locking.
- the package may be manufactured from cardboard or from a laminate.
- a cardboard polymer laminate in particular a cardboard nylon laminate with a particularly smooth and tear-resistant surface.
- a laminate such as this is virtually impossible to tear manually.
- the smooth surface makes impermissible manipulation actions from the outside more difficult, and, furthermore, the package is water-repellant.
- the insert cover is at least partially adhesively bonded to another section of the package, for example to an additional wall section located underneath it, before it is opened for the first time.
- the adhesion points may in this case be separated by means of tear lines from that part of the insert cover which can be unfolded, thus providing an indication when it is first opened.

- FIG. 19 shows the package as shown in FIG. 18 in the closed state.
- FIG. 1 shows a blank 28 composed, for example, of cardboard, which has been stamped by means of an appropriate tool. Adjacent sections which will later on not be located on the same plane are separated from one another by fold lines 29 . On one side, a rear side wall section 3 and an insert cover 4 are adjacent to a rectangular base 2 . On the opposite side, an end side wall section 12 , a first supporting section 20 and a second supporting section 21 are arranged on the opposite side. On the two parallel narrow faces, an outer wall 18 is followed firstly by a connecting web 31 , then by an inner wall 19 and, finally, by an adhesive lug 30 .
- a connecting web 31 On the two parallel narrow faces, an outer wall 18 is followed firstly by a connecting web 31 , then by an inner wall 19 and, finally, by an adhesive lug 30 .
- the rear side wall section 3 and the end side wall section 12 are connected to the two outer walls 18 via a hinge fold 27 in each case, which is folded inwards during the erection of the side wall sections.
- a holding opening 5 is stamped out in the area between the end side wall section 12 and the first supporting section 20 .
- a grip section 33 is also cut out by means of a weakened line 32 in the first supporting section 20 , although this could also be stamped out completely in the same way as the holding opening 5 .
- An insert tongue 6 is articulated on the insert cover 4 . This is followed by a locking strip 7 .
- An unlocking opening 14 is provided in the hinge area of the insert tongue 6 , but is sealed by a guarantee section 16 .
- the first supporting section 20 is provided with openings 25 which, however, are likewise sealed via perforation lines by means of a guarantee section 26 . Later on, a packaged item can be pushed out of a blister film through these openings, but only after the guarantee sections 26 have been torn away.
- Openings 24 are likewise stamped out completely on the second supporting section 21 , with these openings 24 being somewhat larger than the openings 25 , and being arranged as mirror images of them. The openings 24 will later on be used to push the packaged item out of the blister film.
- a supporting wall section 15 is also arranged on one longitudinal face of the second supporting section 21 .
- the two adhesive lugs 30 are adhesively bonded to the base 2 , so that hollow side walls 17 and 17 ′ are formed which,can be erected like parallelograms.
- the locking strip 7 is already angled with respect to the insert tongue 6 .
- the second supporting section 21 is folded around onto the first supporting section 20 , with a blister film 22 having been adhesively bonded in between these two sections.
- the packaged item 23 which extends through the free openings 24 , is welded into the blister film.
- the supporting wall section 15 is angled approximately at right angles to the second supporting section 21 .
- the hinge folds 27 allow the supporting section pair 20 , 21 to be folded out into the plane of the base 2 once the hollow side walls 17 , 17 , have been erected.
- the supporting section pair 20 , 21 are folded into the package, so that they rest on the webs 31 ( FIG. 2 ).
- the holding opening 5 can hold the insert tongue 6 with the locking strip 7 folded away, with this pair of supporting sections 20 , 21 forming an additional wall section 11 , in which the holding opening is arranged.
- An edge area of this opening in this case forms a locking edge 10 .
- the supporting wall section 15 runs offset backward somewhat behind the edge area, approximately parallel to the end side wall section 12 .
- the additional wall section 11 need not necessarily be a component of a supporting section for blister films or the like. It would also be sufficient to use a material strip of sufficient width in order to form a robust locking edge 10 .
- the insert tongue 6 forms an acute angle with the locking strip 7 , and its tip 8 points toward the base 2 when the insert cover 4 is closed.
- the free end 9 of the locking strip 7 is latched in under the locking edge 10 , with the maximum opening movement being limited by the supporting wall section 15 .
- the free end 9 may, however, be pressed in a sprung manner against the insert tongue 6 .
- the unlocking opening 14 is now exposed, then it is possible, for example, to place a fingernail behind the free end 9 , in order to push the latter away from the area of the locking edge 10 , against the insert tongue 6 .
- the blank 28 as shown in FIG. 5 is formed essentially in a similar manner to that shown in FIG. 1 .
- the insert tongue 6 is thus not articulated on the outer edge of the insert cover 4 but is recessed somewhat, for which purpose incisions 35 are required.
- the unlocking opening 13 is in this case completely integrated in the end side wall section 12 . In this case as well, however, this opening is sealed by means of a guarantee section 16 .
- the holding opening 5 extends exclusively in the first supporting section 20 , and is in the form of a narrow, rectangular slot.
- the cutout 34 on the second supporting section 21 corresponds to the combination of the two supporting sections with the opening 5 .
- the locking strip 7 is in this case bent around towards the outer face of the insert cover 4 .
- the blister film is clamped in like a sandwich in a similar way to that in the previous exemplary embodiment.
- the locking edge 10 is formed by a material section which remains between the holding opening 5 and the end side wall 12 .
- FIG. 8 shows details of the locking of the package 1 shown in FIG. 7 .
- the unlocking opening 13 is exposed by removing the guarantee section.
- the free end 9 of the locking strip 7 is latched in behind the locking edge 10 .
- pressure for example by means of a finger, must be exerted through the unlocking opening 13 on the locking strip 7 , so that the free end is pushed back until it can be raised through the holding opening 5 .
- the locking strip 7 can be set at a desired angle with respect to the insert tongue 6 by appropriate choice of material and folding.
- it would also be feasible to fix the locking strip in the area of the pointed end 8 for example by introduction of an adhesive spot or by adhesively bonding in a foam material strip with adhesive on both sides. This would nevertheless ensure that the locking strips are resilient without there being any risk of the spring force being weakened by excessively frequent use.
- the blank in a further exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 9 differs from the blanks described above first of all in that it is not intended to hold a blister film.
- the additional wall section 11 is correspondingly only in the form of a single continuous section.
- this blank also has hollow side walls, which can be erected like parallelograms, each having an outer wall 18 and an inner wall 19 .
- the hinge folds 27 are also provided in an identical manner.

Abstract
The invention relates to a packaging (1) comprising an insertable cover (4) having at least one insertable tongue which can be inserted into a receiving opening (5) in order to close the packaging. In order to render the packaging childproof, said insertable tongue comprises a blocking means, preferably in the form of a blocking strip (7) which engages behind a blocking ledge (10) when the cover is closed. A targeted force must be exerted on the blocking strip in order to open the insertable cover, to which end a releasing opening (14) is provided.
Description
- The invention relates to a package, in particular a folding box composed of cardboard or cardboard laminate, as claimed in the precharacterizing clause of
claim 1. - Packages of this type are used for different purposes, including, inter alia, for the packaging of medicaments in the pharmaceutical industry. They can be produced easily, filled and sealed on automatic packaging lines, and, furthermore, they are user-friendly. Until the contents of the package have been finally consumed, the package can be repeatedly sealed by means of the insert cover.
- It is already known for comparable packages of this generic type to be provided with a guarantee function, providing an indication when they are opened for the first time. This guarantee function is provided, for example, by perforations, safety tapes or security tapes or security seals which can be torn open. However, once opened, the packaging unit is easily accessible by children, because the insert cover can be opened without any effort In particular with regard to pharmaceutical products, but also for other goods such as insecticides, fertilizers etc., such easy accessibility is obviously undesirable, because of their toxic effect. Child-proof packages are admittedly already known in which a slide can be withdrawn from the outer sheath with the packaged item. This can be done only after appropriate manipulation on the outer sheath. One example of a package such as this is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,047,829.
- One object of the invention is therefore to provide a package of the type mentioned initially which is likewise child-proof without any adverse affect on the other functions, that is to say a package which can be opened only by knowledge of specific manipulation actions. The expression child-proof is defined by the relevant guidelines, with which those skilled in the art will be familiar. According to these guidelines, it must not be possible for the package to be opened within a specific time within a randomly selected group of children of a specific age class.
- The stated object is achieved by a package which has the features of
claim 1. The arrangement of the locking means on the insert tongue ensures in a very simple way that a correctly sealed package is secured, and that no additional manipulation actions are required for security. The latch can be released only by deliberate application of force to the locking means, and this function is not evident to children. Despite this, the package is user-friendly even for relatively elderly people, and the opening process does not require any complicated manipulation actions. The application of force to the locking means and the opening of the insert cover preferably take place at the same time, in order to achieve a high degree of security. The necessity to carry out two movements simultaneously is not evident to children. However, in certain circumstances, it would be feasible for the locking means to remain in a released position after the application of force, and for the cover to be opened later The locking means latches in again only after resealing. - It is particularly advantageous for the locking means to be a locking strip which is arranged on the insert tongue and, together with the insert tongue, forms an element with a V-shaped cross section, whose tip points toward the base and whose end facing the insert cover can be latched in behind a locking edge in the area of the holding opening. A locking strip such as this can absorb relatively large forces, although the lock can be released even by a small amount of pressure. The locking strip in this case forms a type of locking catch which does not produce any major resistance to the closing of the cover.
- The holding opening for the insert tongue may at least partially be arranged in an additional wall section which is connected to an end side wall section and runs parallel to the base when the package is closed, with the locking edge being formed by an edge area of the holding opening in the additional wall section. However, it would also be feasible for the holding opening to be arranged exclusively on one end side wall section, or even on the base of the package.
- The locking strip may face the end side wall section, with at least one unlocking opening being arranged in the end side wall section, through which a force can be exerted on the locking strip in order to release the latch. Alternatively, however, the locking strip may also face away from the end side wall section, with at least one unlocking opening being arranged in the insert cover, through which a force can be exerted on the locking strip in order to release the latch. Finally, it is also feasible for the locking strip to face away from the end side wall section, and for at least one unlocking opening to be arranged in the base, through which a force can be exerted on the locking strip in order to release the latch. Fundamentally, the unlocking opening allows access to the locking strip, although this on its own is not yet sufficient to open the cover. In addition, it is necessary to know the way in which force must be applied to the locking strip in order to release the lock.
- However, in certain circumstances, it is also feasible for the latch not to be released by direct action on the locking strip, but by a relative movement between the insert cover and the end side wall section or the additional wall section. This can be achieved solely by appropriate deformation of the closed package, for which purpose the necessary pressure points must be known. However, it is also feasible to arrange at least one grip opening in the base and/or in the insert cover, in an area facing the rear side wall section, through which the lengthened additional wall section can be moved relative to the insert cover.
- A supporting wall section may be arranged on the additional wall section and is arranged running adjacent to the locking edge, approximately parallel to the end side wall section. The additional wall section ensures that the locking strip is always held in the correct locked position. This is particularly important when the locking strip is not fixed but is designed in a freely sprung manner. In a situation such as this, the supporting wall section limits the maximum possible opening angle of the locking strip. The robustness of the package is further increased by the additional wall section.
- Before the package is opened for the first time, the unlocking openings can be sealed by means of a guarantee section which can be knocked out, in order to ensure a guarantee function. It is therefore impossible to access the locking strip, and thus to open the package, without removing the guarantee section, thus also providing an indication of opening for the first time, in a very simple manner. A guarantee section such as this may, of course, also seal the grip openings, which were mentioned above, in the base and/or in the insert cover.
- In the case of an additional guarantee function or an alternative guarantee function, the additional wall section may extend as far as the rear side wall section, with a guarantee opening which is sealed by means of a guarantee section being arranged in the rear side wall section. The outer edge of the additional wall section facing the rear aide wall section furthermore has a guarantee tongue which passes through the guarantee opening when the latch is first released. This guarantee function is particularly suitable for those latches which can be released by relative movement between the cover and end side wall section or additional wall section.
- As already mentioned, the end of the locking strip may be designed such that it is freely sprung. This has the advantage that no additional adhesion operations or the like are required. However, it is also possible for the end of the locking strip to be connected via a connecting section to the insert cover or to the insert tongue. In this case, the locking strip together with the insert tongue always forms a robust wedge with a constant wedge angle.
- Advantages are furthermore achieved if the additional wall section mentioned above is in the form of a supporting section which can be unfolded and on which a packaged item is held such that it cannot be lost. Thus, for example, the supporting section may be fitted with a blister film with a welded-in packaged item, having openings through which the packaged item can be pushed out of the blister film. The supporting section which has been mentioned may be formed from two layers, with the blister film being held between the two layers. However, instead of a blister film, the supporting section could also be fitted with another packaged item, such as individual containers or the like which can be torn off. However, a blister film can also be sealed to the additional wall section such that it can be pivoted out freely.
- It is particularly advantageous to manufacture the package from a single blank, which can be erected by means of folding and adhesion operations to form a robust box.
- It is also advantageous for the package to be approximately cuboid and for it to have two hollow side walls, which run at right angles to the rear side wall section and each have an outer wall and an inner wall, which can be erected like a parallelogram from the plane of the base. The hollow side walls result in particularly advantageous robustness, with the package being resistant, in particular, to pressure. Furthermore, the prefabricated blank may be delivered in the flat state, in which case this blank can easily be handled on the packaging line.
- Finally, the side wall of the package may have four side wall sections which can be unfolded and are connected via in each case one hinge fold at the mutually abutting ends. In consequence, each side wall section can be folded out on its own into the plane of the base, which results in advantages in the filling of the package, depending on the package type. On the other hand, this also ensures a dust-tight connection, which is protected against access, at the corners of the package. The side wall of the package and the outline of the base could, of course, also be designed to be polygonal or curved. A straight side wall section should be arranged only in the area of the insert tongue over a specific distance, in order to ensure secure locking.
- The package may be manufactured from cardboard or from a laminate. In this case, it has been found to be particularly advantageous to use a cardboard polymer laminate, in particular a cardboard nylon laminate with a particularly smooth and tear-resistant surface. A laminate such as this is virtually impossible to tear manually. The smooth surface makes impermissible manipulation actions from the outside more difficult, and, furthermore, the package is water-repellant.
- Further advantages can be achieved if the insert cover is at least partially adhesively bonded to another section of the package, for example to an additional wall section located underneath it, before it is opened for the first time. The adhesion points may in this case be separated by means of tear lines from that part of the insert cover which can be unfolded, thus providing an indication when it is first opened.

FIG. 19 shows the package as shown inFIG. 18 in the closed state. -
FIG. 1 shows a blank 28 composed, for example, of cardboard, which has been stamped by means of an appropriate tool. Adjacent sections which will later on not be located on the same plane are separated from one another byfold lines 29. On one side, a rearside wall section 3 and aninsert cover 4 are adjacent to arectangular base 2. On the opposite side, an endside wall section 12, a first supportingsection 20 and a second supportingsection 21 are arranged on the opposite side. On the two parallel narrow faces, anouter wall 18 is followed firstly by a connectingweb 31, then by aninner wall 19 and, finally, by anadhesive lug 30. - The rear
side wall section 3 and the endside wall section 12 are connected to the twoouter walls 18 via ahinge fold 27 in each case, which is folded inwards during the erection of the side wall sections. A holdingopening 5 is stamped out in the area between the endside wall section 12 and the first supportingsection 20. In addition, agrip section 33 is also cut out by means of a weakenedline 32 in the first supportingsection 20, although this could also be stamped out completely in the same way as the holdingopening 5. - An
insert tongue 6 is articulated on theinsert cover 4. This is followed by alocking strip 7. An unlockingopening 14 is provided in the hinge area of theinsert tongue 6, but is sealed by aguarantee section 16. - The first supporting
section 20 is provided withopenings 25 which, however, are likewise sealed via perforation lines by means of aguarantee section 26. Later on, a packaged item can be pushed out of a blister film through these openings, but only after theguarantee sections 26 have been torn away. -
Openings 24 are likewise stamped out completely on the second supportingsection 21, with theseopenings 24 being somewhat larger than theopenings 25, and being arranged as mirror images of them. Theopenings 24 will later on be used to push the packaged item out of the blister film. A supportingwall section 15 is also arranged on one longitudinal face of the second supportingsection 21. - As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , the twoadhesive lugs 30 are adhesively bonded to thebase 2, so thathollow side walls inset cover 4, the lockingstrip 7 is already angled with respect to theinsert tongue 6. The second supportingsection 21 is folded around onto the first supportingsection 20, with ablister film 22 having been adhesively bonded in between these two sections. The packageditem 23, which extends through thefree openings 24, is welded into the blister film. The supportingwall section 15 is angled approximately at right angles to the second supportingsection 21. As is illustrated, the hinge folds 27 allow the supportingsection pair base 2 once thehollow side walls - As is shown in
FIG. 3 , the supportingsection pair FIG. 2 ). In this position, the holdingopening 5 can hold theinsert tongue 6 with thelocking strip 7 folded away, with this pair of supportingsections additional wall section 11, in which the holding opening is arranged. An edge area of this opening in this case forms a lockingedge 10. The supportingwall section 15 runs offset backward somewhat behind the edge area, approximately parallel to the endside wall section 12. As can be seen, theadditional wall section 11 need not necessarily be a component of a supporting section for blister films or the like. It would also be sufficient to use a material strip of sufficient width in order to form arobust locking edge 10. - Once the
package 1 as shown inFIG. 3 has been sealed, it can no longer be opened without destroying it, before theguarantee section 16 and thegrip section 33 have first of all been removed. Otherwise, it is impossible to access the locking mechanism The insert cover can then be opened and closed as often as required, in which case thelocking strip 7 must be moved in order to open it. Details relating to this can be seen inFIG. 4 . - As illustrated, the
insert tongue 6 forms an acute angle with thelocking strip 7, and itstip 8 points toward thebase 2 when theinsert cover 4 is closed. Thefree end 9 of thelocking strip 7 is latched in under the lockingedge 10, with the maximum opening movement being limited by the supportingwall section 15. During insertion through the holdingopening 5, thefree end 9 may, however, be pressed in a sprung manner against theinsert tongue 6. The unlockingopening 14 is now exposed, then it is possible, for example, to place a fingernail behind thefree end 9, in order to push the latter away from the area of the lockingedge 10, against theinsert tongue 6. - In one alternative exemplary embodiment, the blank 28 as shown in
FIG. 5 is formed essentially in a similar manner to that shown inFIG. 1 . However, not only theinsert tongue 6 and thelocking strip 7 but also the holdingopening 5 have a different configuration. Theinsert tongue 6 is thus not articulated on the outer edge of theinsert cover 4 but is recessed somewhat, for which purpose incisions 35 are required. The unlockingopening 13 is in this case completely integrated in the endside wall section 12. In this case as well, however, this opening is sealed by means of aguarantee section 16. The holdingopening 5 extends exclusively in the first supportingsection 20, and is in the form of a narrow, rectangular slot. The cutout 34 on the second supportingsection 21 corresponds to the combination of the two supporting sections with theopening 5. As can be seen fromFIG. 6 , the lockingstrip 7 is in this case bent around towards the outer face of theinsert cover 4. In contrast, the blister film is clamped in like a sandwich in a similar way to that in the previous exemplary embodiment. - As illustrated in
FIG. 7 , the lockingedge 10 is formed by a material section which remains between the holdingopening 5 and theend side wall 12. -
FIG. 8 shows details of the locking of thepackage 1 shown inFIG. 7 . In this case as well, the unlockingopening 13 is exposed by removing the guarantee section. Thefree end 9 of thelocking strip 7 is latched in behind the lockingedge 10. In order to release the latch, pressure, for example by means of a finger, must be exerted through the unlockingopening 13 on thelocking strip 7, so that the free end is pushed back until it can be raised through the holdingopening 5. In this exemplary embodiment as well, it would be possible to arrange a supportingwall section 15 to make theinsert tongue 6 robust. - Particularly in the case of elongated packages, it would be possible on the basis of the same principle and without any further problems to provide two separate insert tongues, arranged at a distance from one another, with locking strips on the
insert cover 4, with each insert tongue being associated with a separate unlocking opening. - As can be seen, the locking
strip 7 can be set at a desired angle with respect to theinsert tongue 6 by appropriate choice of material and folding. However, in certain cases, it would also be feasible to fix the locking strip in the area of thepointed end 8, for example by introduction of an adhesive spot or by adhesively bonding in a foam material strip with adhesive on both sides. This would nevertheless ensure that the locking strips are resilient without there being any risk of the spring force being weakened by excessively frequent use. - The blank in a further exemplary embodiment shown in
FIG. 9 differs from the blanks described above first of all in that it is not intended to hold a blister film. Theadditional wall section 11, is correspondingly only in the form of a single continuous section. In contrast, this blank also has hollow side walls, which can be erected like parallelograms, each having anouter wall 18 and aninner wall 19. The hinge folds 27 are also provided in an identical manner. - A further difference is that the
locking strip 7 is not designed such that it is freely sprung, but such that it can be fixed with the aid of a connectingsection 39 to thecover 4. - A
grip opening 37 on the side of thebase 2 facing the rearside wall section 3 is bounded by perforation lines. In a corresponding manner to this grip opening, asemicircular grip lug 38 is also stamped out on theadditional wall section 11, and can be bent at right angles to the additional wall section 11 (FIG. 10 ). - Finally, a
guarantee tongue 42 is also arranged on one outer edge of theadditional wall section 11. When theadditional wall section 11 is folded around into the plane of thebase 2, thisguarantee tongue 42 is located immediately in front of aguarantee opening 41, which is sealed by means of aguarantee section 40. This guarantee opening is bounded by perforations in the rearside wall section 3. -
FIG. 11 shows how the package as illustrated inFIG. 10 can be opened. First of all, the grip opening. 37 (which is initially still sealed) is broken through, so that the section which is broken out in the process is erected and rests on thegrip lug 38. Pressure is then exerted on thelug 38, for example using the thumb, in the direction of the arrow a, with an opposing pressure being exerted at the same time on the rearside wall section 3 in the direction of the arrow c. As can be seen, this results in a relative movement of theadditional wall section 11 in the direction of the arrow b. This results in thelocking strip 7 being freed from the lockingedge 10, so that thecover 4 can be pivoted open. - When the additional wall section b is moved for the first time, the
guarantee tongue 42 passes through theguarantee opening 41, with theguarantee section 40 being destroyed or broken out, so that this indicates that the package has already been opened. - Finally, the alternative blank shown in
FIG. 12 once again illustrates a variant which is intended for holding a blister film. The blank thus has a certain similarity to that shown inFIGS. 1 and 5 . Identical elements in each case have the same reference symbols, once again. In this case as well, the lockingstrip 7 is intended to be fixed to theinsert cover 4 with the aid of a connectingsection 39. As can be seen, inter alia, fromFIG. 13 as well, two unlockingopenings 36 are arranged in thebase 2, close to theend wall 13, and are sealed by means ofguarantee sections 16. Correspondingopenings 43 are provided on the supportingwall section 15. - The opening function for this package can be seen in particular from
FIG. 14 . When it is first opened, the two unlockingopenings 36 are knocked through, for example with the index finger and middle finger. During this process, the twoguarantee sections 16 are pivoted upward until they come to rest, through theopenings 43, on thelocking strip 7. At the same time, the thumb is used to exert an opposing pressure on theend wall 12, so that thelocking strip 7, or its upper end, is pushed away from the lockingedge 10, and thecover 4 can be opened.FIG. 14 also shows the fixing of thelocking strip 7 with the aid of the connectingsection 39. - The exemplary embodiment shown in
FIGS. 15 and 16 has a certain similarity to that shown in FIGS. 9 to 11. However, a further grip opening 37′ is arranged in theinsert cover 4 instead of asingle grip opening 37 in thebase 2, thus simplifying the relative movement between the insert cover and theadditional wall section 11 or the endside wall section 12. The twogrip openings - An
attachment section 44 is articulated on theadditional wall section 11, and is provided with a sealingstrip 46. The two stamped-outaccess openings - As can be seen from
FIG. 16 , ablister 47 is sealed to the sealingstrip 46. Theblister 47 may in this case be folded around together with theattachment section 44 into the plane of theadditional wall section 11, so that, when it is in the closed state, it projects into the interior of the package. In this case, it is advantageous for theblister 47 to be somewhat narrower than theadditional wall section 11, so that when it is in the closed state, only the additional wall section rests on the connectingwebs 31 of the hollow side wall. - In the further exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 17 to 19, a
blister 47 is likewise sealed in place such that it can be pivoted out. However, theinsert cover 4 has two layers with anadditional layer 4′, in order to improve the stiffness. The insert cover is also provided withrounded areas 48, in order to avoid corners that bend up. Tearing-open lugs 45 are arranged in the area of the rounded area and are separated from the rest of the section of the insert cover bytear lines 49. Thesecond layer 4′ may be inverted or, as indicated by dashed-dotted lines, may also be articulated on thesection 4, at the side. -
FIG. 18 shows the situation before the package has been closed for the first time, with the double layer of the insert cover already having been adhesively bonded. Theinsert tongue 6, the lockingstrip 7 and the connectingsection 39 are formed only by single layers and are knocked or stamped out of the material of theinner layer 4′. If theinner layer 4′ is articulated at the side, this results in a somewhat different configuration. - As can be seen from
FIG. 19 , in the closed state, theinsert cover 4 rests on the completely formedadditional wall section 11, only part of which can be seen in the region of therounded areas 48. Theinsert cover 4 is adhesively bonded to theadditional wall section 11 via adhesion points 51 in the region of the tear-open lugs 50. When the package is open for the first time, the adhesive bond on the tear-open lugs 50 must be released, with the tear lines 49 being broken open. After this, at least one of thegrip openings insert tongue 6 by relative movement. Theinsert cover 4 cannot be pivoted open until this has been done, with the lock latching in again whenever it is closed again. - The exemplary embodiments do not illustrate all of the combinations of the individual features. However, it is, of course, feasible for individual features to be exchanged as required, so that, for example, it would also be possible to form exemplary embodiments other than those illustrated with an adhesively bonded insert cover, with or without a hollow side wall and other similar features.
