Method of making a blank for folding cartons.

p0001The invention relates to a method for producing a blank for a tube for receiving drinking serving, provided with a removal opening carton. Such containers are known commercially under the name "Dispenser box".

p0002Among those known, rectangular, box-like containers, the upper and / or lower narrow side of the box is opened to remove one or more drinking straws can. It is inevitable that the drinking tube - it can be an example straw or consisting of a plastic tube (drinking straw) be - is touched on at least one end. However, this is undesirable from sterile or hygienic reasons, because the associated therewith transmitting diseases is considerable. This is particularly the case if the drinking tube od example in hospitals. The like. Is used.

p0003The invention has for its object to ensure the removal of a drinking tube from the container in such a manner that a contact of one or the other tube end is not possible.

p0004This object is inventively that in the blank one to be created as a removal opening perforation is punched as blank is folded into a box-like container then that is also glued after filling the carton with drinking tube, and finally, if necessary under tearing the perforation the removal opening is formed such that the drinking tube without touching the one and / or the other tube end can be individually removed from the carton.

p0005To ensure that the user of the jobs created by the invention carton makes no mistake, it is provided that the blank or the finished folding box in the perforation with an imprint or Note or the like, the removal opening to be created is provided.

p0006For the attachment of the perforation and thus the discharging port There are several options to without departing from the inventive solution. A preferred embodiment is that the perforation is provided substantially at a longitudinally extending narrow side. This arrangement shown in the drawing has proved to be particularly advantageous. but it is also conceivable that the perforation - and therefore to be created removal opening - is stamped on one of the broad sides of the carton.

p0007The invention is shown in one embodiment on the drawing. Show it:<ul><li>FIG. 1 and the blank</li><li>FIG. 2 which is filled with drinking tube carton</li></ul>

p0008Referring to FIG. 1, a blank 1 is shown, which consists of the longitudinal sides 2, 3 and the narrow sides of the wide sides. 6 One of the long sides 2 is - and partly also the associated broadside 6 is provided with a perforation. 4 A note 8 indicates to the user how the dispensing opening illustrated in Fig. 2 to produce 10th

p0009In Fig. 2, the folded out of the section 1 and adhered to its longitudinal, wide and narrow sides or the like completed carton 5 is shown. The filling opening 9 (closed) does not permit removal of the drinking tube designated by 7. The latter takes place - as shown - through the removal opening 10, which is caused by charging or tearing of the perforation. 4 It can be seen in each case a drinking tube 7, the latter is pulled out between thumb and forefinger in the last Drittelerfaßt and from the carton. 5 It is readily apparent that in this case the tube ends are not affected.

p0010In the illustrated embodiment, is drinking tubes 7, which are be bent in the last third of their length, ie those which are used primarily. The invention is not limited to such drinking tube, but not jutting-drinking tubes are used.
