Abstract: The invention relates to a suction cup (10) for detachable fastening to a substrate (12), the suction cup (10) comprising a supple sealing material (26) for applying to the substrate (12) and an elastically deformable actuating part for pressing against the substrate (12), and uses elastic recovery of the actuating part to produce a vacuum between the suction cup (10) and the substrate (12). The aim of the invention is to be able to produce the suction cup (10) very inexpensively, with an aesthetically pleasing appearance, a very low thickness, and good adhesion even on less than smooth substrates.

Abstract: A packaging box has four side walls and at least one closure flap that is pivotably joined to one side wall. The packaging box has a tuck-in tab, which can be introduced in the vicinity of the opposite side wall into an inner chamber of the box. The packaging box has an inner partition parallel to two of the side walls. A hook-like projection is provided on the partition. Upon the introduction of the tuck-in tab into the inner chamber during the closing of the closure flap, the hook-like projection automatically engages a through opening in the tuck-in tab and thereafter keeps the closure flap firmly in the closed state.

Abstract: A device attaches a figurine with a cylindrical base part onto a beverage bottle. A combination of such a device and a figurine as well as a beverage bottle made of plastic forms a sales unit with such a device and such a figurine. In order to enable the figurine to be joined separably to the beverage bottle to form a sales unit in a simple, aesthetical and sales-promoting manner, the device includes a body having means for separable attachment of the figurine and having a recess for holding a screw cap and a neck part provided with an outside thread of the beverage bottle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a star-shaped decorative object (2), in addition to blanks and an associated production method. The decorative object comprises at least two interconnected blanks (4, 6; 58, 60; 66, 72) consisting of paper or foil, at least one (4, 6; 58, 60; 72) of which comprises a central part (12) and a plurality of points (8, 10; 74, 76) projecting outwards beyond the central part (12). The central part (12) of said blank (4, 6; 58, 60; 72) is provided with several fold lines (24) that run from a central point (26) towards the points (8, 10; 74, 76) and is folded alternately along adjoining fold lines (24) in opposite directions in a V, in such a way that between two respective fold lines (24) that are separated by an additional fold line (24), areas (44 and 40) that are folded inwards and outwards are formed with the additional fold line (24) running through their center.

Abstract: A star-shaped decorative object has at least two blanks joined together. At least one of the blanks has a middle part and a plurality of shorter and longer points extending outwardly beyond the middle part. The middle part can be provided with several fold lines running from a midpoint in the direction of at least the longer points and can be folded at fold lines running from the midpoint in the direction of said longer points in a V-shape so that inwardly-folded areas are formed between two neighboring of said fold lines running from the midpoint in the direction of said longer points. The shorter points on the inwardly-folded areas are inserted through openings of another blank in order to join the two blanks for the formation of a hollow, three-dimensional body. A set of blanks to form the decorative object can be provided.
