Abstract
Description
- The present invention is related to a package for plate-like elements in general, such as motor vehicle body sheets (engine compartment hoods, doors, trunk covers etc.), glass plates and the like.
- The object of the invention is to provide a particularly simple and cheap package, which is however capable of ensuring an efficient protection of the packaged sheet element during transportation, storage and handling operations.
- According to the invention, this object is achieved by virtue of a package the primary feature of which resides in that it comprises a corrugated cardboard member defining at least one wall having an area substantially corresponding to that of the plate-like element, which wall has at least two partially die-cut portions spaced apart from each other and defining respective wings which are folded astride of corresponding substantially central areas of two opposite edges of the plate-like element, and annular outer retaining means to forcedly tighten said folded wings against said areas of the opposite edges of the plate-like element, whereby said plate-like element is substantially suspended relative to said wall of the cardboard member.
- According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, said cardboard member has a flat box configuration, and said folded wings are formed on both larger walls of the box.
- According to an alternative embodiment, the package may comprise a die-cut element forming a single larger wall.
- According to a further feature of the invention, at least one of said folded wings is formed with bent limbs for the containment and constraint of the corresponding area of the respective edge of the plate-like element.
- The number and the arrangement of the above die-cut portions, and thus of the wings defined thereby astride of the opposite edges of the plate-like element may vary as a function of the design and shape of the plate-like element to be packaged.
- Said annular retaining means may be constituted by straps or cables or ropes under tension. Alternatively, these annular retaining means may be formed by annular heat shrinkable plastic material elements.
- The invention will now be disclosed in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, purely provided by way of non limiting example, in which:
- figure 1 is a diagrammatic perspective view of a corrugated cardboard package according to a first embodiment of the invention,
- figure 2 is a vertically sectioned and enlarged view along line II-II of figure 1,
- figure 3 depicts the plan blank of the cardboard member forming the package of figure 1, and
- figure 4 is a perspective view of a variant of figure 1.
- Referring initially to figures 1 through 3,
reference numeral 1 generally designates a package according to the invention for sheet elements in general, and more particularly for the hood of a motor vehicle engine compartment. In the case of the shown example, thepackage 1 is designed as a flat box with twolarger walls - The
box 1 is formed starting from a single die-cut and creased member, indicated by reference numeral 1a in figure 3. In this element 1a thelarger wall 2 is connected laterally, through respective creasing lines, to two smallerlateral walls smaller portions larger wall 3 of thebox 1. - The
portions limbs 2', 4', 5', 3a' and 3b' are projecting, which are intended to form the remaininglateral walls box 1. - A partially die-cut
portion 8 defining a wing 9 is formed in thelarger wall 2, at a relatively short distance from thewall 6. - Likewise, in the
larger portion 3a of the otherlarger wall 3 a die-cutportion 10 is formed, which defines awing 11. - In proximity to the other
opposite wall 7, thelarger wall 2 is formed with arecess 12 and with a partially die-cutportion 13 defining awing 14. On the opposite sides of therecess 12 twoopposite limbs 15 are further defined, through respective creasing lines. - Similarly, the
larger portion 3a of the otherlarger wall 3 is formed, near to thewall 7, with arecess 16 and a partially die-cutportion 17 defining awing 18. - The
wings - In the set up condition of the
box 1 shown in figures 1 and 2, the corrugated cardboard member 1a is folded so as to partially overlap theportions larger wall 3, parallely to thelarger wall 2. Thelimbs 15 are bent inwardly and, following insertion of the sheet element C and retention thereof such as clarified here below, thelimbs 2', 4', 5', 3a' and 3b' are folded and glued so as to form thewalls box 1. - In the fitted condition within the
box 1, the sheet element C has respective opposite edges C1, C2 located substantially at the level of thewings walls wing 11 is then folded astride of the substantially central area of the edge C1 and thewing 18 is likewise folded astride the corresponding substantially central area of the other edge C2, such as depicted in figure 2. The wing 9 is then folded over thewing 11, and thewing 14 is likewise folded over thewing 18, such as also shown in figure 2. Thus, the central areas of the edges C1 and C2 of thesheet element 2 are restrained between thewings walls - The previously mentioned creasing lines of the
inner wings sheet element 2, thus providing respective containment and constraint folded limbs for the corresponding edges C1, C2 of the sheet element C. - Then, the
wings material straps 19 under tension is employed. As an alternative, metal straps or plastic-material or metal bands or cables, or ropes or any other functionally equivalent system may be employed. Heat shrinkable plastic-material annular elements of a conventional type, wrapped round thewings - In the packaged condition shown in figures 1 and 2, the
sheet element 10 is thus firmly constrained relative to thewalls box 1, with a slight play between its perimeter and thesmaller walls - To the aim of making easier handling of the
box 1 with the sheet element C fitted therein,apertures 20 acting like handles may be conveniently provided on thewalls - It is to be pointed out that the number and the arrangement of the wings of the
larger walls box 1 for the constraint of the opposite edges C1, C2 of the sheet element C may vary, with respect to the example shown in figures 1 through 3, as a function of the design and shape of the sheet element itself. - Thus, for instance, figure 4 shows a variant of the
box 1, which can be for example employed for the hood C' of a motor vehicle engine compartment having the configuration illustrated therein, with respective opposite edges C1' and C2'. In figure 4, parts which are identical or similar to those previously disclosed with reference to figures 1 through 3 are indicated by the same reference numerals. - The
wings - It is to be pointed out that, according to a further variant not shown in the drawings, the package might have an open configuration, instead of a closed box arrangement. In this case the
wall 3 will be suppressed, and the sheet element C shall be suspended and constrained only by thewings 9 and 14 of thewall 2, with the retaining annular elements (straps 9 or the like) wrapped therearound. - Finally, it is to be remarked that, while the preceding disclosure has been referred to packaging of a motor vehicle body sheet, the invention can be equally conveniently applied to any delicate plate-like element requiring an efficient protection during transportation, storage and handling.
- Naturally the details of construction and the embodiments may be widely varied with respect to what has been disclosed and illustrated, without thereby departing from the scope of the present invention, such as defined in the appended claims.
