Container for storing long objects

The innovation concerns a container for storing elongated objects with a first and a second sleeve-shaped container part made of cardboard, which are each closed at the end and, when inserted into one another at a base, form the container.

Such sleeve-shaped containers made of cardboard are known for storing elongated objects, whereby a first elongated container part closed at one end usually holds the objects themselves and a second container part closed at one end forms the lid. Such containers can be of considerable length and are used in particular for storing paper rolls, pipes or curtain rails and the like.

The disadvantage here is that objects stored in the container are not visible from the outside. Such containers must first be opened, which is a laborious process, in order to determine whether there is any content at all and what the content is. Another disadvantage of these known cardboard containers is that when the container parts are put together, a lug provided there loses its fit after a certain period of use, so that the cohesion of the container parts is no longer guaranteed.

The purpose of the present innovation is to design a container of the type mentioned in such a way that the container contents or at least parts thereof are visible from the outside and that the cohesion of the container parts is better ensured even after repeated use.

To solve the problem, the innovation is characterized in that a first sleeve-shaped container part made of cardboard

III I I I I

is open on both sides and has a transparent, elongated plastic sleeve at each end, which is inserted into a snug fit and closed off on the outside.

The essence of the innovation lies in the design of certain areas of a container, in particular the lid and base, as transparent plastic sleeves, each of which is inserted into the open ends of the elongated, otherwise opaque, cardboard tube. In this way, it is immediately apparent from the outside, without touching the container, whether there are objects in the otherwise opaque cardboard container and what type and design the objects are. The presence of objects can thus be determined without opening the container.

Due to the nature of the usual plastic material, each attachment of the transparent plastic sleeves creates a desirable, fatigue-free fit at the openings of the cardboard container. The cohesion of the parts is therefore not lost when the transparent container parts are repeatedly attached or removed, since the plastic sleeves are slightly elastic. The disadvantage of container parts made of cardboard has always been that the fit, once formed, becomes fatigued after a certain amount of time, so that the container parts can come loose again on their own.

In the design of the innovation, a sleeve-shaped container part made of cardboard can be provided with one end closed and the other end open and at the open end can have an elongated transparent plastic sleeve inserted into a neck with a snug fit and closed off on the outside.

This creates a container that is closed at the bottom and offers an advantageous view of the lid area. Objects placed in the container are therefore easily visible from the outside. The container can also be turned over for smaller objects so that they reach the transparent lid area.

In a further development of the innovation, a container part can be provided in the form of an elongated, transparent plastic sleeve with attachments that is open on both sides, with a further container part made of cardboard that is closed off from the outside being attached to each attachment. This creates a container that is transparent in its middle area, which means that objects stored there are immediately noticed in a pleasant way, like a display, and are thus visually advantageous.

Furthermore, it can be advantageous to provide for slanted, interrupted, outward-projecting threaded studs at the base of the plastic sleeves. This further increases the hold of the plastic sleeves in the opening areas of the cardboard containers without the cardboard container itself having to have a thread on the inside. The threaded studs rest springily on the inside of the tubular cardboard containers and thus ensure that the container parts hold together well. The arrangement of the threaded studs with interruptions prevents deformation or digging of threads in the inside of the cardboard container. When inserting or screwing in the plastic sleeves with threaded studs, they always find the originally intended inside diameter of the sleeve due to the interrupted course. In this respect, the large number of threaded studs are supported on new inner areas of the cardboard container even when the sleeves are used repeatedly, which means that the originally intended snug fit is largely retained even after longer use. In this respect, there is no need to fear a loosening of the fit between the plastic sleeves and the cardboard parts.

Molded hooks can advantageously be provided on the closed ends of the plastic sleeves. This allows the container to be arranged in a simple hanging manner without having to fear that the sleeve-shaped parts that are put together will separate.

In the following, the innovation is explained in more detail using drawings showing several implementation options.

Drawings and their descriptions highlight further key features and advantages of the innovation.

All information and features disclosed in the documents, in particular the spatial configuration shown in the drawings, are claimed as essential to the invention insofar as they are new individually or in combination compared to the prior art.

Show it:

Figure 1 shows a container according to the innovation in longitudinal section, consisting of a cardboard tube with transparent plastic sleeves attached to both ends,

Figure 2 shows in detail the attachment of a plastic sleeve with molded threaded studs,

Figure 3 shows another container according to the innovation with a transparent lid area with a molded hook,

Figure 4 shows another container according to the innovation with a

transparent plastic tube with attachments and egg-shaped cardboard sleeves attached to both sides.

According to Figure 1, a container 1 according to the invention consists of a first sleeve-shaped container part 2 of any length that is open on both sides, in particular of a cardboard tube with plastic sleeves 4 that are inserted at both ends with projections 5 and closed off from the outside. The plastic sleeves 4 are preferably transparent and elongated and have a projection 5 whose outer diameter corresponds to the inner diameter of the first cardboard container part 2, so that a relatively tight fit is created due to the overlap.

Due to the nature of the known plastic material of the plastic sleeves 4 in combination with the cardboard tube,

According to Figure 4, another container 10 according to the innovation can be seen, which is in the form of an elongated, transparent plastic sleeve 11 open on both sides with projections 5. Here too, the projections 5 have threaded studs 3. In principle, however, a sufficient fit in the cardboard areas of the container parts 2, 9 and 12 is achieved even without threaded studs /.

&Ggr;) Container parts 12 made of cardboard, closed on one side, are attached to the attachments 5 at the ends of the plastic sleeve 11 in the manner of a lid. This creates a container 10 with a transparent central area, which allows objects to be displayed there in a visually effective way. One or more hooks can be formed on the plastic sleeve 11 in the horizontal area, or bands with hooks can be provided there so that the container 10 can be arranged hanging, preferably in a horizontal position.

The innovation is not limited to the present embodiments. In particular, a container part can also be predominantly in the form of a cardboard tube and have only one transparent plastic ring or several short ring-like, inserted plastic sleeves along its length in order to create a viewing area of only a few centimeters in length. The plastic sleeves 4, 11 mentioned can also be colored, but still transparent and/or curved.
