[0001] photograph cup The invention relates to a for receiving a plurality of objects, such as beverage cans or bottles, to form a portable container, are provided with, in order to fasten the objects with the photograph cup holding means.

[0002] such cups, in particular, serve as the container for beverage cans or beverage bottles as Conventional for lemonade, beer and mineral water. The photograph cups ordinarily consist of a bottom and side walls at each side, wherein the side walls in their height are smaller than the objects to be included therein. Most photograph cups be formed from a cardboard blank the, wherein the side walls of the carton blank formed from folded up tabs are glued together and in Flat-bottomed state. In Figure 1 is represented as State of the Art Such a cup.

[0003] The thus formed and used in this process have no handle receiving known Barrel. Therefore the containers must be lifted with two hands cumbersome. A transport with one hand is adversely difficult or impossible. In a further step with many containers are subsequently fixed handles so e.g. in the form of a plastic strip is glued to the foil cover. This foil strips are only adequate, for so supporting the container that the bottom is arranged horizontally photograph cup. These has the disadvantage should be taken that the container at some distance to the body, which is tedious for the carrier. Furthermore, it is not possible, two such containers in a hand-carry, what often would be beneficial.

[0004] task of the present invention is to, provide a photograph cup , comprising a handle or carrying handle, and is connected directly with the laterally projecting photograph cupout-folded can be from this or. Under avoidance of the above disadvantages of known Barrel should also, for example, two such Barrel be easily portable. Moreover, in the manufacture and cheap to the carrying handle photograph cups should the for the proper use are strong enough. The be biodegradable photograph cup can be recycled together with the material should, if possible, be. The weight of the container must not be substantially increased. photograph cup no disturbing elements is to have the handle for the also, the e.g. during filling, during Folieren or during stacking might stand in the way.

[0005] The invention is characterized in that a is provided photograph cup , at its bottom at least a handle portion with at least one tab has the. Advantageously, the grip tab connects via a lateral delimitation of the socket before or is from this limiting photograph cup. The photograph cup Preferably, a bottom and side walls on the objects laterally supporting and projecting therefrom, wherein the gripping tab by means of a mounting strap with the ground and/or is connected with one of the side walls forming the lateral boundary.

[0006] The fastening tab can be connected with the ground at its floor bottom surface or with the ground inside. The connecting occurs preferably by means of gluing.

[0007] Tophotograph cup to strengthen the fastening of the fastening tab with the bottom of the, said fastening tab can have a lateral boundary on its of the gripping tab opposite to the associated side wall connectable support tab. From this to the associated side wall and foldable against the grip tab is folded away Prefers. Preferably, Cardboard photograph cup is made the total. The materials can, however, also be different. The holding means is preferably a plastic film, over the wound and glued or photograph cup and the objects received by it is welded. A shrink film is used preferably.

[0008] the invention is explained in more detail with drawings in several execution-with-Austrian Hereinafter

play described in more detail. Figures are schematically held.

[0009] Figure 1 is a oblique view State of the Art photograph cup according to a.

[0010] Figure 2 shows the view from below according to the invention with the handle and partially the deployed photograph cup a gripping tab.

[0011] Figure 3 shows in a rectangular shape according to the invention with inserted objects in the form of beverage cans photograph cup.

[0012] Figure 4 shows the with the objects according to Figure 3 with the retaining means photograph cup in the form of a plastic casing.

[0013] Figure 5 shows another embodiment similar to the Figure 3, except that the mounting bracket and the handle is arranged at a rectangular photograph cup on the narrow side.

[0014] Figure 6 shows the carton blank for the formation of the handle assembly.

[0015] Figure 7 shows another design variant, wherein the fastening tab is provided on the of the handle ground inside.

[0016] Figure 1 shows a photograph cup , as it often is in use for a long time. The photograph cup preferably consists of a cardboard blank, from the bonding tabs photograph cup according to the form described by the time and is made.

[0017] 1 of the bottom 2 points along the lateral boundaries photograph cup The the side walls 3, 4 on. The side walls 3, 4 are formed by upwardly bent side panel latches , 5 with the respective adjacent side panel latches are bonded by adhesive tongues.

[0018] Figure 2 shows a first embodiment of the according to the invention, seen in a plan view from below photograph cup. On the floor bottom surface 7 to form a handle part 6 of the 8 mounting strap is connected whose photograph cup , preferably glued together, wherein in the present embodiment, the handle extends in the longitudinal extent of the rectangular photograph cup. Furthermore, 9 provided with a grip tab 8 is the mounting strap, the 1 on the associated side wall 3 protrudes on the limitation. Located on the opposite side of the fixing tab 10 can be provided a support tab 8 is glued to the associated side wall 3.

[0019] 3 and 4 can, in accordance with Figures 11- photograph cup the thus formed, for example, beverage cans-are filled with the objects. Afterwards can be prepared by the finished Barrel, by according to Figure 4, both the objects contained therein photograph cup and the totality of the 11 in a holding means 16, preferably in a plastic sheath is wrapped. Preferably, the plastic casing consists of a layer shrink film, by the the container is manipulable compact and in each layer.

[0020] 3 and 4 can be removed as Figures, the grip tab 3 on the associated side wall 9 may either abut or for transporting and gripping the handle from the side wall 3 are out-folded. This ensures that the grip tab 9 in fabricating and during transport of the container can be easily gripped and, on the other hand, the handle is not hinder.

[0021] In the remarks according to Figures 2 to 4 is located at the narrow side of the rectangular photograph cup 9 always the grip tab. Figure 5 shows an arrangement for better illustration, in which the grip tab photograph cup is arranged at the longer side of the 9.

[0022] Figure 6 shows an embodiment for the carton blank for the handle part 7, consisting of the attachment lug 8, the support tab 9 10 and the grip tab. The grip tab 12 provided with a reinforcing tab 9 is still, the for enhancing the grip tab can be bent over with this possibly glued and 9. A reinforcement of the handle part 7 Austrian

firmer materials such as plastic or can be carried out also by use of laminated cardboard.

[0023] 8 with the underside of the bottom 6 of the good bond the fastening tab photograph cup For can also be omitted the support tab 10.

[0024] 6 can be removed as the Figure, the mounting strap 8 has recesses 13, so as to keep the additional weight for the photograph cup as small as possible. The recesses 13 are arranged in such a way that the occurring tensile forces on the crosswise disposed lands 14 are received the best possible way.

[0025] the previously shown embodiments of the handle portion 7 is in each case on the In glued or fastened provided floor bottom surface. As in Figure 7 is represented, the handle part 7 with its fastening tab can be attached at the 8 but also 15 the photograph cupground inside. Consequently, 10 can also be adhered to the associated side wall 3 from the inside the support tab. The grip tab 3 protrudes outwardly through a slot in the associated side wall 9. This latter embodiment has the advantage that the possible surface formation is not disturbed and their optical impression 6 the photograph cup the underside of the bottom.
