Abstract

Pack for food, in particular for an item of confectionery, comprising an originally flat material sheet ( 10 ) which is folded to form a three-dimensional, in particular theme-related, object, preferably a sports-related object, in particular a rattle, wherein the object comprises a holder ( 20 ) in which at least one separately packed food is accommodated.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . Pack for food, in particular confectionery, comprising:
 an originally flat material sheet ( 10 ) which is folded into a three-dimensional object, in particular a theme-related object, preferably a sport-related object, in particular a rattle, wherein the object comprises a receiver ( 20 ) in which at least one separately packed food is accommodated.   
     
     
         2 . Pack according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the three-dimensional object is held in folded state by an additional, preferably flat element ( 30 ) which is in engagement with the material sheet ( 10 ) from which the three-dimensional object is folded. 
     
     
         3 . Pack according to  claim 2 , wherein the additional element ( 30 ) surrounds the three-dimensional object over the full periphery and thus holds it together. 
     
     
         4 . Pack according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the receiver is folded from a separate, originally flat, material sheet. 
     
     
         5 . Pack according to  claim 4 , wherein the receiver ( 20 ) folded from the material sheet is held in folded state exclusively by the three-dimensional object or by form-fit engagement elements. 
     
     
         6 . Pack according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the receiver ( 20 ) is held in the three-dimensional object by form fit and/or force fit, in particular only by form fit and/or force fit. 
     
     
         7 . Pack according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the three-dimensional object is held in folded state by the engagement of two elements ( 242 ) which are part of the material sheet ( 10 ) from which the three-dimensional object is folded. 
     
     
         8 . Pack according to any of the preceding claims, wherein an inspection window is provided in the region of the outer contour of the three-dimensional object, in particular an inspection window closed by a transparent material ( 240 ) and through which the food or its pack ( 40 ) is visible. 
     
     
         9 . Material sheet to form the three-dimensional object for a pack according to any of the preceding claims. 
     
     
         10 . Material sheet according to  claim 9 , with several flat portions ( 11 ) corresponding in cross section to the outer contour of the three-dimensional object and connected together via first fold lines ( 14 ). 
     
     
         11 . Material sheet according to  claim 10 , wherein the portions ( 11 ) each have a second fold line ( 17 ) along their center lines, so that the second fold lines ( 17 ) of the portions, in the state folded into the three-dimensional object, lie in the center ( 31 ) of the three-dimensional object. 
     
     
         12 . Material sheet according to any of the preceding  claims 9  to  11 , wherein the portions ( 11 ) each have a cut-out ( 15 ) which, in folded state of the three-dimensional object, form the receiver or which supplement each other to form a holder for the receiver ( 20 ). 
     
     
         13 . Set consisting of a material sheet according to any of  claims 10  to  12 , and a preferably flat element ( 30 ) which can be pushed onto the material sheet ( 10 ) when folded into the three-dimensional object, in order to hold the material sheet folded into a three-dimensional object in folded state. 
     
     
         14 . Set according to  claim 13 , wherein the preferably flat element ( 30 ) has a cut-out which has at least one, preferably several, longitudinal slots ( 32 ) running through the center ( 31 ). 
     
     
         15 . Material sheet according to  claim 9 , furthermore comprising several outer fields ( 211 ) forming outer faces of the three-dimensional object and arranged in a row and connected together via first fold lines ( 214 ). 
     
     
         16 . Material sheet according to  claim 15 , wherein at least three rows (R 1  to R 3 ) of fields ( 211 ) are arranged next to each other and the fields of adjacent rows are connected via second fold lines ( 217 ). 
     
     
         17 . Material sheet according to  claim 15  or  16 , wherein every second field ( 211 ) of a row has third fold lines ( 241 ) which run together from one side of the field to the other into a triangle, the tip of which lies on one side on a center line of the field. 
     
     
         18 . Material sheet according to any of  claims 15  to  17 , wherein at least one field, preferably two or more adjacent fields, are formed of transparent material or comprise transparent material ( 240 ) to form an inspection window. 
     
     
         19 . Set consisting of a material sheet according to any of  claims 15  to  18 , and a further flat material sheet ( 200 ) to form a receiver. 
     
     
         20 . Set according to  claim 19 , wherein the material sheet ( 200 ) for the receiver has three fields ( 260 ,  261 ) which are joined together via fourth fold lines ( 262 ), wherein the outline of the outer fields corresponds in cross section to the inner contour of the folded three-dimensional object, and the center field has a connecting portion ( 263 ) which joins two portions ( 264 ), the outline of which corresponds to half the outline of the outer fields, wherein the two portions ( 264 ) are connected to the connecting portion ( 263 ) via fifth fold lines ( 265 ). 
     
     
         21 . Set according to  claim 20 , wherein a cut-out ( 268 ) is provided in at least one portion of the center field ( 261 ), wherein preferably a tab can be folded out of the plane of the portion to hold the food in the receiver.
