Packaging with apertures for manipulation thereof and device for manipulating such packages

摘要

A package with apertures for manipulation thereof and a device for manipulating such a package are intended to provide a solution to the problem of making it possible even for right parallelepipedal packages, for commissioning purposes, to be combined closely alongside one another to form a certain packaging pattern and also to be removed again individually from any point in the packaging pattern, all this to be achieved with as small an outlay as possible. This is achieved in that the apertures (15) are formed in the essentially level top (12) of the package in such a way that appropriately formed gripping elements (23) can be introduced into the apertures and can then be moved together with the aperture edges (19) into a gripping engagement which allows the package (9) to be raised, the gripping elements preferably taking the form of flat gripping tongues (23) which are aligned parallel with the top (12) of the packaging and can be moved laterally, after having been inserted vertically into the apertures (15), beneath an edge of the said aperture (15). <IMAGE>
