Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to strip-shaped chewing gums and the like, ie, collective packaging as individual packaging for objects of this kind.

(Prior art) In this kind of known collective package, the individually wrapped chewing gums are arranged in layers directly in the package, and the chewing gums from the package are individually stacked one after another after the head portion is removed. Can be taken out. At this time, it is impossible to immediately search for a specific chewing gum, for example, a favorite chewing gum.

(Problem of the Invention) The present invention essentially allows a user to select one chewing gum from among several chewing gums according to his/her preference without any problem and to take out the desired chewing gum while maintaining the cohesion of the collective package. It is an object of the present invention to improve the above-mentioned collective packaging body so that it can do so.

(Means for Solving the Problem) According to the present invention, the above problem is solved by the unit packaging body being formed by a press packaging method and having a thick wall portion formed by a recess at one end, The wall thickness has a thickness corresponding to the depth of the recess in the area of the unit packaging, and the unit packaging has a hole in the recess in the area of the unit packaging, which hole is formed by several units. By means of an arrangement which is pierced by an axle connecting the packages and in which each of the unit packages can be pivoted laterally so that a sector can be formed by several unit packages. resolved.

This formation of the collective package also makes it possible to unswivel the unit packages mentioned above and to swivel them back to their original position, in which case the unit packages are all one on top of the other. In the pivoted and unfolded state, the unit packages can be observed, selected and removed. Empty unit package parts can be removed, this can be facilitated by perforations or the like.

The unit package advantageously has a ring-shaped recess that forms a spacer in the region of the pivot axis.

(Example) The collective package has three unit packages of chewing gum according to the drawing. However, usually a large number of unit packages are integrated into one collective package.

Each unit package consists of a lower wrapping piece 1 and an upper wrapping piece 2, the lower wrapping piece 1 being designed thicker and stronger than the upper wrapping piece 2.

The lower packaging piece 1 has a cup-shaped recess 3 at one end of the unit package, and this recess 3 is followed by a ring-shaped recess 4 forming the other end of the unit package.

The lower and upper packaging pieces 1 and 2 are interconnected by heat sealing or the like in a known manner. In this way, a cavity is created which is closed by the cup-shaped recess 3 and the ring-shaped recess 4.

However, the above lower and upper packaging pieces 1 and 2
are not interconnected at the edge of the end part 5 and form a tear or the like, and the upper wrapping piece 2 can optionally be removed by hand. The end portion 5 forming this tear is approximately rectangular and defined by perforations 6.

Inside the cup-shaped recess 3 is a packaged chewing gum 7.

The ring-shaped recess 4 surrounds a hole 8 in which all the unit packages arranged one above the other are connected, but each can be pivoted laterally in a fan-like manner about its axis. It is penetrated by a tube stud 9 as a shaft. This makes it possible to know and select the relevant brand on the individual chewing gum or on the lower and upper packaging pieces 1, 2.

The desired chewing gum is extruded from the package by tearing the upper package piece 2 or by extrusion. The recess 3 of the upper packaging piece 2 has a perforation 10
The ring-shaped recess 4 with the cover part of the upper packaging piece 2 rests on the tube stud 9.

It is important that the depth h of the cup-shaped recess 3 and the ring-shaped recess 4 match. A spacer is thus formed by the ring-shaped recess 4, the height of which corresponds to the height of the unit package. This also makes it possible to completely swivel the unit packaging, in particular even if a part of the container formed by the cup-shaped recess 3 and the upper packaging piece 2 is removed for removal of the chewing gum 7. It is possible to turn around.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claims] 1. In a collective package of strip-shaped chewing gum, sweets, food, or similar products for human taste or nutrition that are packaged themselves and placed in a unit package, the unit package is It is formed by a pressure packaging method and has a thick wall portion formed by a recess 4 at one end, and the wall thickness corresponds to the depth h of the recess 3 in the range of the unit package. Having a thickness h, the unit packaging has a hole 8 in the area of said recess 4, which hole is pierced by a shaft 9 connecting several unit packagings, so that the unit packagings each extend laterally. Said collective packaging, characterized in that it is pivotable so that a fan-shaped body can be formed. 2. The collective package according to claim 1, wherein the recess 4 at one end surrounds the hole 8 in a ring shape or is arranged concentrically with respect to the hole in a ring shape. 3 Upper and lower packaging pieces 1 and 2 forming a unit package
The area of the cup-shaped recess 3, the area of the ring-shaped recess 4, and the end portion 5 are firmly but releasably connected to each other by heat sealing or the like. collective packaging. 4. The collective package according to claim 1, wherein the shaft that connects the unit packages to each other is formed by a tube stud 9. 5. A perforation 10 or similar means for facilitating tearing of the package is provided between the cup-shaped recess 3 and the ring-shaped recess 4 of the unit package, as set forth in claim 1. collective packaging. 6. The collective package according to claim 3, wherein the end portion 5 is torn. 7. Collective package according to claim 1, wherein the unit packages are arranged in a stack in the region of the axis 9, the stacking height corresponding to the height h of the unit packages. 8. The collective package according to claim 1, wherein the ring-shaped recesses 4 of the unit packages are overlapped. 9. The unit package consists of a generally flat upper packaging piece 2 and a lower packaging piece 1 connected thereto;
