Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Verpackungseinheit nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a packaging unit according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die am weitesten verbreitete Technik zur Verpackung von Gütern in Palettenbehältern und/oder Kästen verwendet vorgeformte und ausreichend feste Behälter aus steifem Karton, die am Einsatzort durch geeignetes Falten eines Kartonzuschnitts aufgerichtet werden, um die Wände und den Boden des Behälters zu bilden. Der so erhaltene Behälter wird mittels Klebebändern, Klammern od.dgl. ausreichend versteift, um ihn in seiner vorbestimmten Gestalt zu stabilisieren. Der so fertiggestellte Kasten wird dann auf eine Palette, gewöhnlich aus Holz, Plastik oder einem geeignet verstärkten Karton, angeordnet und bis zur gewünschten Möhe mit den zu transportierenden Waren gefüllt, woraufhin er an seiner Oberseite verschlossen wird. Der Kasten und die ihn tragende Palette werden dann schließlich aneinander gesichert, indem sie mit Streifen oder Bändern umgeben werden, um einen einheitlichen und steifen, für den Transport bereiten Körper zu bilden. Die Eigenschaften der Palette, die allgemein bekannt sind und daher nicht erläutert zu werden brauchen, machen diese Art von Verpackung speziell zur Behandlung mittels Gabelstaplern oder anderen mechanischen Hub- und Fördermaschinen geeignet.The most common technique for packing goods in pallet containers and/or boxes uses pre-formed and sufficiently strong containers made of rigid cardboard which are erected on site by suitably folding a cardboard blank to form the walls and bottom of the container. The container thus obtained is sufficiently stiffened by means of adhesive tapes, staples or the like to stabilize it in its predetermined shape. The box thus completed is then placed on a pallet, usually made of wood, plastic or a suitably reinforced cardboard, and filled to the desired level with the goods to be transported, after which it is closed at the top. The box and the pallet supporting it are then finally secured together by surrounding them with strips or tapes to form a uniform and rigid body ready for transport. The characteristics of the pallet, which are well known and therefore do not need to be explained, make this type of packaging particularly suitable for handling by forklift trucks or other mechanical lifting and handling machines.

Die EP-A-168252 beschreibt eine Verpackungseinheit aus wenigstens einem Kartonbehälter und mehreren Tragelementen, die an den Basisschnitten der Behälter befestigt sind. Die Tragelemente bestehen aus zwei Teilen, die gleitfähig miteinander in Eingriff zu bringen sind. Eines der Teile ist an der Bodenwand des Behälters zu befestigen.EP-A-168252 describes a packaging unit comprising at least one cardboard container and several support elements which are attached to the base sections of the containers. The support elements consist of two parts which are to be slidably engaged with one another. One of the parts is to be attached to the bottom wall of the container.

Die Erfindung hat zum Ziel, eine Verpackungseinheit der vorgenannten Art zu verbessern (siehe den kennzeichnenden Teil von Anspruch 1). Die im Anspruch 1 umrissene Verpackungseinheit ist einfacher zu handhaben, da kein separates Teil des Tragelements am Behälter zu befestigen ist. Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.The invention aims to improve a packaging unit of the aforementioned type (see the characterizing part of claim 1). The packaging unit outlined in claim 1 is easier to handle since no separate part of the support element has to be attached to the container. Preferred embodiments are described in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung wird nun durch eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform unter Bezugnahme auf die begleitenden Zeichnungen näher beschrieben.The invention will now be described in more detail by means of a preferred embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht eines einzelnen Tragelements;Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a single support element;

Fig. 2 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung des Vogangs der Montage eines Behälters auf einem Tragelement; undFig. 2 shows a schematic representation of the process of mounting a container on a support element; and

Fig. 3 zeigt eine Verpackungseinheit aus einem Behälter, der auf einer geeigneten Anzahl von Tragelementen befestigt ist, die zusammen als eine Palette wirken.Fig. 3 shows a packaging unit consisting of a container mounted on a suitable number of support elements, which together act as a pallet.

In den Zeichnungen sind die folgenden Elemente dargestellt:The following elements are shown in the drawings:

1) Außenwand von oberen Tragelementen einer Komponente der Verpackungseinheit,1) Outer wall of upper supporting elements of a component of the packaging unit,

2) kastenförmiger Behälter mit Bodenschließklappen,2) box-shaped container with bottom closing flaps,

3) seitliche Innenwände der Tragelemente,3) lateral inner walls of the supporting elements,

4) Behältertragfläche am Tragelement,4) Container support surface on the support element,

5) bodenberührende Fußabschnitte des Tragelements,5) foot sections of the supporting element in contact with the ground,

6) Haltenasen, die von den Innenwänden des Tragelements vorstehen,6) retaining lugs protruding from the inner walls of the support element,

7) Verriegelungszähne, die von der Tragfläche des Tragelements vorstehen,7) Locking teeth protruding from the supporting surface of the supporting element,

8) symmetrischer Anschlag, der in der Mittenlinie der Tragfläche 4 angeordnet ist,8) symmetrical stop located in the center line of the wing 4,

9) Eingriffshinterschneidungen zwischen dem Anschlag 8 und der Oberfläche 4,9) engagement undercuts between the stop 8 and the surface 4,

10) Oberseite des Anschlags 8,10) Top of stop 8,

11) Bodenklappen des Behälters 2,11) Bottom flaps of container 2,

12) untere Ränder der Klappen 11,12) lower edges of the flaps 11,

13) seitliche Aufnahmewandabschnitte,13) side receiving wall sections,

14) Sicherungsbänder oder -streifen,14) Security tapes or strips,

15, 16, 17) Tragelemente, die in einem einheitlichen Verpackungsaufbau eingeschlossen sind.15, 16, 17) Supporting elements enclosed in a uniform packaging structure.

Die Verpackungseinheit enthält wenigstens einen Behälter 2 und mehrere Tragelemente 15, 16 17. Der Behälter 2 umfaßt Bodenklappen 11, die lösbar an den Tragelementen 15, 16, 17 befestigt sind, wie in Fig. 1 gezeigt.The packaging unit contains at least one container 2 and several support elements 15, 16 17. The container 2 comprises bottom flaps 11 which are releasably attached to the support elements 15, 16, 17 as shown in Fig. 1.

Zur Vereinfachung der Beschreibung dieser Tragelemente, die in der am besten verständlichen Weise in Fig. 1 dargestellt sind, muß lediglich gesagt werden, daß sie einem kurzen Längenabschnitt einer üblichen Palette gleichen, die um ein Paar kleine seitliche Aufnahmewände 13, einen mittleren Anschlag 8 und mehrere kleine vorstehende Teile, die nachfolgend noch beschrieben werden, ergänzt sind.To simplify the description of these support elements, which are shown in the most understandable way in Fig. 1, it is sufficient to say that they resemble a short length of a conventional pallet, supplemented by a pair of small lateral receiving walls 13, a central stop 8 and several small projecting parts, which will be described below.

Der Anschlag 8 liegt auf der Mittenlinie der Tragfläche 4 und ist von symmetrischer Gestalt bei flachem, V-förmigem Querschnitt, so daß zwei symmetrisch zueinander angeordnete Hinterschneidungen 9 zwischen dem Anschlag 8 und der Oberfläche 4 ausgebildet werden.The stop 8 is located on the center line of the wing 4 and is of symmetrical shape with a flat, V-shaped cross-section, so that two undercuts 9 arranged symmetrically to one another are formed between the stop 8 and the surface 4.

Die Oberfläche 4 ist weiterhin vorzugsweise an Stellen benachbart den Innenwandflächen 8 der Aufnahmewände 13 mit mehreren, nach oben vorstehenden Zähnen 7 versehen, wobei die Wandflächen 3 in ähnlicher Weise mit nach unten gerichteten bogenförmigen Nasen 6 versehen sind.The surface 4 is further preferably provided with a plurality of upwardly projecting teeth 7 at locations adjacent to the inner wall surfaces 8 of the receiving walls 13, the wall surfaces 3 being similarly provided with downwardly directed arcuate noses 6.

Das Zusammensetzen der Verpackungseinheit nach der Erfindung erfolgt in folgender Weise:The packaging unit according to the invention is assembled as follows:

Nach dem Anordnen von n Tragelementen auf dem Fußboden parallel zueinander in gleichen Abständen von 1/(n-1) der Länge des zu transportierenden Behälters 2 wird ein Kartonzuschnitt zum Aufrichten des Behälters 2 ohne Verwendung von Klebstreifen od.dgl. eingesetzt, so daß die Bodenklappen 11 frei nach unten unter einem Winkel von etwa 45º vorstehen können.After arranging n support elements on the floor parallel to each other at equal distances of 1/(n-1) of the length of the container 2 to be transported, a cardboard blank is used to erect the container 2 without using adhesive strips or the like, so that the bottom flaps 11 can protrude freely downwards at an angle of approximately 45º.

Der Behälter 2 wird dann so auf die Tragelemente abgesenkt, daß seine Bodenklappen 11 nach innen auf der Tragfläche 4 gleiten, bis ihre freien Ränder in die Hinterschneidungen 9 des Anschlags 8 eintreten und der Boden des Behälters so geschlossen wird.The container 2 is then lowered onto the support elements in such a way that its bottom flaps 11 slide inwards on the support surface 4 until their free edges enter the undercuts 9 of the stop 8 and the bottom of the container is thus closed.

Beim Absenken des Behälters 2 gleiten die unteren Ränder seiner Seitenwände an den inneren Wandflächen 3 der Aufnahmewände 13, die am Ende der Tragelemente ausgebildet sind, nach unten.When the container 2 is lowered, the lower edges of its side walls slide downwards on the inner wall surfaces 3 of the receiving walls 13, which are formed at the end of the support elements.

Zum Erleichtern des Einsetzens des Behälters 2 sind die Innenwandflächen 3 vorzugsweise nach innen geneigt, um dadurch das Festhalten des Behälters auf den Tragflächen 4 zu verbessern, ohne aber seine Einführung zwischen die Aufnahmewände 13 zu erschweren.To facilitate the insertion of the container 2, the inner wall surfaces 3 are preferably inclined inwards in order to improve the retention of the container on the supporting surfaces 4, but without making it difficult to insert it between the receiving walls 13.

Um das Festhalten des Behälters weiter zu verbessern, dringen Nasen 6 in seine Wände mit ihrer vollen Länge ein, um anschließend zu verhindern, daß der Behälter von dem Tragelement abgehoben werden kann, wobei letzteres gegen seitliche Versetzung durch Zähne 7 auf der Tragfläche 4, die in die Bodenklappen 11 eintreten, formschlüssig gesichert ist, und wirksamer noch durch das Eintreten der Ränder 13 der Bodenklappen 11 in die Hinterschneidungen 9 des Anschlags 8 über einen beachtlichen Teil ihrer Länge.To further improve the grip of the container, Lugs 6 are inserted into its walls over their full length to subsequently prevent the container from being lifted off the support element, the latter being positively secured against lateral displacement by teeth 7 on the support surface 4 which enter the bottom flaps 11, and even more effectively by the edges 13 of the bottom flaps 11 entering the undercuts 9 of the stop 8 over a considerable part of their length.

Es ist speziell das gegenseitige Eingreifen von Klappenrändern 12 und Anschlägen 8 an allen Tragelementen, das der Verpackungseinheit aus Behälter und Tragelementen die erforderliche Stabilität und Festigkeit verleiht.It is specifically the mutual engagement of flap edges 12 and stops 8 on all supporting elements that gives the packaging unit consisting of container and supporting elements the required stability and strength.

Der Zusammenbau der Verpackungseinheit wird durch Sichern der oben beschriebenen Komponenten fest aneinander mit Hilfe von Streifen oder Bändern 14 abgeschlossen, die um die zusammengebauten Komponenten in bekannter Weise gebunden werden, wie in Fig. 3 gezeigt.The assembly of the packaging unit is completed by securing the above described components firmly together by means of strips or bands 14 which are tied around the assembled components in a known manner, as shown in Fig. 3.

Das Ergebnis dieses Zusammenbauvorgangs ist eine Verpackungseinheit von kubischer Gestalt, die mit Gabelstaplern u.dgl. gehandhabt werden kann und zusätzlich zu den oben beschriebenen Vorteilen weitere bemerkenswerte Vorteile aufweist, wie:The result of this assembly process is a packaging unit of cubic shape that can be handled by forklifts etc. and, in addition to those described above, has other notable advantages, such as:

- geringes Gewicht,- low weight,

- einfache Handhabung,- easy to use,

- Fehlen von Nägeln und Schrauben- Lack of nails and screws

- verminderten Platzbedarf zum Stapeln und Lagern,- reduced space requirement for stacking and storage,

- verminderte Kosten für den Rücktransport (das Volumen eines jeden Tragelements ist nur ein Bruchteil von dem einer gewöhnlichen Palette),- reduced costs for return transport (the volume of each load-bearing element is only a fraction of that of a normal pallet),

- verminderte Herstellungskosten.- reduced production costs.

Nachdem die Verpackungseinheit an ihrem Bestimmungsort angekommen und ausgepackt worden ist, können die Tragelemente schnell von dem eigentlichen Behälter gelöst werden, der in seinem leeren Zustand leicht verformbar ist und nicht länger durch das Gewicht der zuvor enthaltenen Waren unten auf den Tragelementen gehalten wird.After the packaging unit has arrived at its destination and has been unpacked, the supporting elements can be quickly the actual container, which in its empty state is easily deformable and is no longer held on the supporting elements below by the weight of the goods previously contained therein.

Die Tragelemente können dann unschwierig gestapelt und zum ursprünglichen Versender für den erneuten Einsatz rückgeführt werden, wobei der von den Tragelementen beanspruchte Raum beträchtlich kleiner ist als derjenige, den übliche Paletten einnehmen.The load-bearing elements can then be easily stacked and returned to the original shipper for reuse, with the space occupied by the load-bearing elements being considerably smaller than that occupied by conventional pallets.
