Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
BACKGROUND [0001]The present disclosure relates to an anti-theft package for promotional items for use with a container, such as a bottle, comprising at least one base body and at least one first fastening device, which can be pulled over the neck of a bottle. [0002]An anti-theft package for promotional items is known, for example, from DE 202 13 205 U1, according to which a sleeve is pulled over the neck of a bottle. [0003]Such known packages, however, have the disadvantage that they can be removed from a bottle neck without great effort and nearly free from destruction, so that the promotional items can be easily stolen. The desire for anti-theft attachment of advertising gifts and accessories is also due to the fact that such promotional items are no longer only inexpensive items that can be procured in large quantities without great expense, but are instead increasingly valuable products. [0004]For these reasons it is desirable to be able to showcase promotional items and accessories to a potential buyer in a relatively theft-proof manner together with the actual product that is being sold. [0005]It is, therefore, an object of the present disclosure to provide a theft-proof package for promotional items, which can be attached to a product relatively easily and securely and which does not impair the aesthetic presentation of the product, wherein reliable theft protection is provided both during transport and during display in sales locations. SUMMARY [0006]Disclosed herein is anti-theft packaging with at least one second fastening device, which is disposed at a distance from a first fastening device and which can be secured around the neck and/or body of a container, such as a bottle. The second fastening device may be added and locked reversibly or irreversibly around the neck or body of the bottle. [0007]An anti-theft package according to the present disclosure may be configured to be easily pulled over the neck of the bottle. Thereafter, by tightly pulling the fastening device together, the package is then firmly held against the neck of the bottle. In some implementations, the second fastening device may be tightened, particularly irreversibly, around the bottle neck so that it can no longer be pulled over the outer bulge at the opening of the bottle or over a screwed-on or snapped-on lid on the bottle. [0008]Advantageously, the second fastening device may be a cable tie, pipe clamp or the like. In particular, cable ties made of plastic provide good theft-proof attachment of a package for promotional items according to the present disclosure. [0009]Furthermore, a preferred embodiment may be characterized in that at least one second fastening device can be provided at a distance further from the opening of a bottle than the first fastening device. In this embodiment, the attachment of the package to a bottle is very simple and may be automated without difficulty. [0010]Furthermore, an embodiment of a package for promotional items according to the present disclosure is preferably characterized in that at least one second fastening device is or can be attached to the package for promotional items using at least one hole or an eye in or a lug on the base body of the package. [0011]Of course, the first fastening device may be configured identical or similar to the second fastening device. Therefore, according to a further development, the first fastening device may be a fastening device that can be placed around the neck and/or body of a bottle and which can be added and locked reversibly or irreversibly around the neck or body of the bottle. As with the second fastening device, the first fastening device may be a cable tie, a pipe clamp or the like. [0012]It is preferable if the first fastening device is configured as an open or closed sleeve. When an open or closed sleeve is attached to the upper end of the package for promotional items, meaning in the vicinity of or on the bottle opening, the attachment of the package to the bottle is particularly easy. This additionally applies to such packages according to the present disclosure, wherein the sleeve has a plurality of projections directed towards a bottle neck for clamping the same to the bottle neck or a lid on the bottle. In some implementations, the sleeve may have three or more inwardly directed projections. [0013]In an advantageous embodiment, it is furthermore provided that the base body of the anti-theft package comprises at least one first and/or at least one second fastening device made at least in part of plastic. [0014]It is particularly advantageous if the first and second fastening devices are both made of pure plastic or plastics that can recycled together. Pure plastics are such materials that can be reused through recycling. When using pure plastic material, a particularly efficient recycling of the packaging can be achieved. [0015]A particularly advantageous embodiment finally is characterized in that the base body of the anti-theft package has at least one chamber in which a promotional item can be disposed. [0016]Embodiments described herein are based on the surprising realization that a package for promotional items comprising at least one first fastening device and at least one second fastening device may provide secure and simple theft protection. The second fastening device may be disposed at a distance from the first fastening device and can be secured around the neck and/or body of the bottle. Further, the second fastening device can be added and locked reversibly or irreversibly around the neck or body of the bottle, for example in the form of a cable tie. In addition, the material expenses for such anti-theft packaging are reduced, and it is not necessary to design new packages for promotional items for different bottle necks since the fastening device is suited to pull and hold together packaging for a variety of bottle diameters. [0017]Since the one or more fastening devices are easily attached to the neck of a bottle, the assembly of the package for promotional items requires little effort. This may result in significant cost savings. Furthermore, the second fastening device, particularly in the form of a cable tie, provides a secure and resilient connection. In addition, releasing the fastening device requires more time and/or additional resources, such as a side cutter. An advantage of a second fastening device for the purpose of pulling and holding the arrangement together is that the package for promotional items can be added very closely to the bottle neck and accordingly requires very little additional space.
