Packaging element, in particular packaging insert

Abstract

A packaging arrangement comprises a folding box ( 13 ) and a packaging insert ( 1 ) arranged therein for fixing elongate articles ( 30 ) in position, the packaging insert comprising a sheet-like blank ( 20 ). The packaging insert ( 1 ) has at least one crosspiece ( 2 ) which has in each case two side walls ( 3, 3′ ) which are erected from a base plane, are connected to one another at a preferably acute angle and form a top crosspiece edge ( 4 ). In order for an article ( 30 ) to be deposited, the crosspiece ( 2 ) has cutouts ( 5 ) which are open in the direction of the top crosspiece edge, a resiliently deformable securing nose ( 6 ) being provided on one side of the cutout ( 5 ). The securing nose can prevent the article from falling out.

1 . A packaging element, in particular packaging insert for fixing elongate articles ( 30 ) in position, comprising a sheet-like blank ( 20 ) having at least one crosspiece ( 2 ) which has in each case two side walls ( 3 ,  3 ′) which are erected from a base plane, are connected to one another at a preferably acute angle and form a top crosspiece edge ( 4 ), the crosspiece ( 2 ) having at least one cutout ( 5 ) which extends over both side walls ( 3 ,  3 ′) of the crosspiece, is open in the direction of the top crosspiece edge and can have an article ( 30 ) deposited in a storage position in it, wherein a securing nose ( 6 ) is provided on at least one side of the cutout ( 5 ), and this securing nose is configured in a resiliently deformable manner such that during the depositing operation, in order to allow the article through, it can be deformed in the depositing direction (e) under the action of pressure, and that once the storage position has been reached, in order to secure a deposited article in the storage position, or following removal of the pressure, it can be restored, at least in part, to its original form. 
     
     
         2 . The packaging element as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the securing nose has a top edge ( 7 ) which follows the top crosspiece edge ( 4 ) and can be tilted, under the action of pressure, in the direction of the base plane. 
     
     
         3 . The packaging element as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the securing nose ( 6 ) has at least one side portion ( 8 ) which is assigned to a respective side wall ( 3 ,  3 ′) of the crosspiece and of which the periphery ( 9 ) directed toward the base plane forms a stop for a deposited article ( 30 ). 
     
     
         4 . The packaging element as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the periphery ( 9 ) directed toward the base plane contains a periphery portion ( 10 ) running approximately parallel to the base plane and/or approximately parallel to the top crosspiece edge ( 4 ). 
     
     
         5 . The packaging element as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein, in order to predetermine a further stopping point for a deposited article, the periphery portion ( 10 ) is followed by an obliquely running flank portion ( 11 ). 
     
     
         6 . The packaging element as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a securing nose ( 6 ) is provided only on one side of the cutout ( 5 ), and wherein the cutout ( 5 ) comprises a J-shaped portion ( 12 ). 
     
     
         7 . The packaging element as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cutout ( 5 ) has a clearance ( 13 ) which is arranged at the base end of the securing nose ( 6 ). 
     
     
         8 . The packaging element as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein, in order to limit the deformation of the securing nose ( 6 ) and/or to predetermine a point of inflection for the tilting of the top nose edge ( 7 ), at least the side portion ( 8 ) is separated from the side walls ( 3 ,  3 ′) of the crosspiece by a weakening line ( 14 ). 
     
     
         9 . The packaging element as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the weakening line ( 14 ) is a scored line created by a stamping operation. 
     
     
         10 . The packaging element as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the weakening line ( 14 ) runs approximately perpendicularly to the top crosspiece edge ( 4 ). 
     
     
         11 . The packaging element as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the weakening line ( 14 ) is set back by a distance (t), preferably by the thickness of the material of the blank ( 20 ), in relation to a lateral periphery ( 15 ) of an accommodating region for the storage position of the article ( 30 ). 
     
     
         12 . The packaging element as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the weakening line ( 14 ) extends from the clearance ( 13 ). 
     
     
         13 . A blank ( 20 ) for a packaging element as claimed in  claim 1 . 
     
     
         14 . A packaging arrangement having a folding box ( 13 ) and at least one packaging insert ( 1 ) as claimed in  claim 1  arranged therein, the folding box having a base ( 22 ) and four side walls ( 23 ,  24 ), wherein the packaging insert ( 1 ) is adhesively bonded to the base ( 22 ).
