  • Publication number: 20080265011
    Abstract: A packaging (1) in the form of a folding box has two transverse side walls (6) which abut the front side wall (4) and are configured as prismatic hollow side walls having in each case one inner wall (11), one outer wall (13) and one connecting web (12), which can be erected in the manner of a parallelogram from the plane of the bottom section (2). In order to secure an intermediate position, a bottom section (2), a lid part (3), a front side wall (4) and an opposite rear side wall (5) can be stabilized by means of securing means (14, 15) in such a way that they form a prismatic hollow body, it being possible for the intermediate position to be set up before the erection of the transverse side walls (6). Finally, the transverse side walls (6) can be connected in a latching manner to the lid part (3) during the erecting operation by means of latching means (7, 8) in order to secure the end position.

  • Publication number: 20080190952
    Abstract: The invention concerns a dispenser device for products arranged in or on a product carrier, in particular tablets or the like, including a holding receptacle for forming a holding chamber for the product carrier, and an actuating means for actuating the dispenser device, a safety element being associated with the actuating means for controlled actuation, which is distinguished in that the actuating means is a pivot lever which is simultaneously designed as a push-out element for pushing the products out of the product carrier. Further, the invention concerns a product carrier for holding products, in particular tablets or the like, which is distinguished in that the product carrier is individually designed such as to be structurally adaptable on the key and lock principle to a corresponding dispenser device. Further, the invention concerns a packaging unit with a product carrier and a dispenser device.

  • Patent number: 5333778
    Abstract: The support blank (1) forms the actual packaging envelope with the parallel side walls (4, 4'), which run parallel to the corrugations (3). These corrugations are formed from a shaped blank (2) which is connected with the support blank at the corrugation valleys. An end corrugation (6, 6') is in each case arranged directly next to the parallel side walls (4, 4'), the outer wall (7) of which is no longer connected with the support blank. The outer wall lies loosely against the parallel side wall and through that is held in position.
