Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackungsvorrichtung für zu transportierende Gegenstände umfassend mindestens ein flächiges Verpackungsteil, das mindestens einen zu transportierenden Gegenstand zumindest abschnittsweise umgeben kann. Weiterhin betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung eine Eckeinheit für eine derartige Verpackungsvorrichtung, wobei die Eckeinheit das mindestens eine flächige Verpackungsteil zumindest teilweise an einer Ecke der Verpackungsvorrichtung umgeben kann.The present invention relates to a packaging device for objects to be transported, comprising at least one flat packaging part which can surround at least one article to be transported at least in sections. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a corner unit for such a packaging device, wherein the corner unit can surround the at least one flat packaging part at least partially at a corner of the packaging device.

Verpackungsvorrichtungen der vorgenannten Art sind aus dem Stand der Technik hinlänglich bekannt (z.B. Dokument US 2174661). Beispielsweise können dabei die Verpackungsteile aus Pappe bestehen und teilweise gefaltet sein, so dass ein Faltkarton entsteht. Derartige Verpackungsvorrichtungen können auch verstärkte Ecken oder Eckeinheiten der vorgenannten Art umfassen, die zum einen zum Schutz der Verpackungsvorrichtung während des Transportes dienen können und zum anderen separate flächige Verpackungsteile aneinander befestigen können.Packaging devices of the aforementioned type are well known in the art (e.g., document US 2174661). For example, in this case, the packaging parts may be made of cardboard and partially folded, so that a folding carton arises. Such packaging devices may also comprise reinforced corners or corner units of the aforementioned type, which may serve for the protection of the packaging device during transport on the one hand and on the other hand can fasten separate flat packaging parts to one another.

Als nachteilig bei den Verpackungsvorrichtungen aus dem Stand der Technik erweist sich, dass bei großen sperrigen und/oder schweren zu transportierenden Gegenständen der Transport mit zusätzlichen Hilfsmitteln erfolgen muss. Beispielsweise müssen Rollwagen oder rollbare Paletten unter die Verpackungsvorrichtung mit dem darin befindlichen Gegenstand geschoben werden, um die Verpackungsvorrichtung mit dem zu transportierenden Gegenstand schieben zu können. Alternativ müsste eine Palette, auf der die Verpackungsvorrichtung liegt, mit einem Gabelstapler transportiert werden.A disadvantage of the packaging devices of the prior art proves that for large bulky and / or heavy objects to be transported, the transport must be done with additional tools. For example, trolleys or rollable pallets must be slipped under the packaging device with the object therein to be able to push the packaging device with the object to be transported. Alternatively, a pallet on which the packaging device is located would have to be transported with a forklift.

Das der vorliegenden Erfindung zugrunde liegende Problem ist die Schaffung einer Verpackungsvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art, die einfacher transportierbar ist. Weiterhin soll eine Eckeinheit für eine derartige Verpackungsvorrichtung geschaffen werden.The problem underlying the present invention is the provision of a packaging device of the type mentioned, which is easier to transport. Furthermore, a corner unit for such a packaging device is to be created.

Dies wird hinsichtlich der Verpackungsvorrichtung durch eine Verpackungsvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 und hinsichtlich der Eckeinheit durch eine Eckeinheit mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 15 erreicht.This is achieved with respect to the packaging device by a packaging device having the features of claim 1 and with respect to the corner unit by a corner unit having the features of claim 15.

Gemäß Anspruch 1 ist vorgesehen, dass die Verpackungsvorrichtung weiterhin mindestens eine Rolle umfasst, die den Transport der Verpackungsvorrichtung erleichtern kann. Durch diese direkt an der Verpackungsvorrichtung vorgesehene Rolle müssen keine zusätzlichen Hilfsmittel wie rollende Untergestelle oder dergleichen verwendet werden, um die Verpackungsvorrichtung einfach transportieren zu können.According to claim 1 it is provided that the packaging device further comprises at least one roller, which can facilitate the transport of the packaging device. By means of this roller provided directly on the packaging device, no additional aids, such as rolling underframes or the like, have to be used in order to be able to transport the packaging device easily.

Vorzugsweise ist die mindestens eine Rolle drehbar gehaltert, insbesondere überragt die mindestens eine Rolle die Verpackungsvorrichtung zumindest an einer Seite zumindest in einem Transportzustand nach außen. Insbesondere könnte hierbei die Rolle aus einer verstauten Position in eine Transportposition herausklappbar sein. In dem vorgenannten Transportzustand ragt die mindestens eine Rolle derart nach außen, dass zumindest an einer Seite der Verpackungsvorrichtung die Rolle auf dem Boden aufstehen kann und nicht die übrigen Teile der Verpackungsvorrichtung. Dadurch kann durch Schieben der Verpackungsvorrichtung die Rolle in Drehbewegung versetzt werden, so dass das Schieben der Transportvorrichtung wesentlich erleichtert wird.Preferably, the at least one roller is rotatably supported, in particular the at least one roller overhangs the packaging device at least on one side, at least in a transport state to the outside. In particular, in this case, the role could be folded out of a stowed position in a transport position. In the aforementioned transport state, the at least one roller protrudes outwards so that at least on one side of the packaging device, the roller can stand on the ground and not the other parts of the packaging device. As a result, by sliding the packaging device, the roller can be set in rotary motion, so that the sliding of the transport device is substantially facilitated.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Verpackungsvorrichtung mindestens zwei voneinander beabstandete Rollen aufweist. Im Gegensatz zu nur einer Rolle, bei der das Schieben der Verpackungsvorrichtung mit dem zusätzlichen Anheben der Verpackungsvorrichtung an einer Seite verbunden ist, kann die Verpackungsvorrichtung auf zwei voneinander beabstandeten Rollen aufstehen und geschoben werden.According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is provided that the packaging device has at least two spaced-apart rollers. in the Contrary to only one role in which the pushing of the packaging device is associated with the additional lifting of the packaging device on one side, the packaging device can stand up on two spaced-apart rollers and be pushed.

Erfindungsgemäß kann vorgesehen sein, dass die mindestens zwei Rollen an zwei unterschiedlichen Ecken der Verpackungsvorrichtung angeordnet sind. Es besteht aber erfindungsgemäß durchaus auch die Möglichkeit, dass die mindestens eine Rolle an einer Seite der Verpackungsvorrichtung angeordnet ist. Beispielsweise könnten über eine Unterseite der Verpackungsvorrichtung zwei oder mehr Rollen verteilt sein, so dass die Verpackungsvorrichtung mit diesen Rollen auf dem Boden aufstehen kann.According to the invention, it can be provided that the at least two rollers are arranged at two different corners of the packaging device. However, according to the invention, there is also the possibility that the at least one roller is arranged on one side of the packaging device. For example, two or more rollers could be distributed over an underside of the packaging device, so that the packaging device can stand up with these rollers on the floor.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung umfasst die Verpackungsvorrichtung mindestens eine Eckeinheit, in die die mindestens eine Rolle integriert ist. Hierbei kann die Eckeinheit eine Ecke der Verpackungsvorrichtung zumindest abschnittsweise umgeben. Eine derartige Eckeinheit kann somit ähnlich wie die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Eckeinheiten die Ecken der Verpackungsvorrichtung bei dem Transport schützen, unter Umständen verschiedene Verpackungsteile zusammenhalten und gleichzeitig zur leichteren Verschiebbarkeit der Verpackungsvorrichtung aufgrund der Rolle beitragen.According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the packaging device comprises at least one corner unit, in which the at least one roller is integrated. Here, the corner unit can surround a corner of the packaging device at least in sections. Such a corner unit may thus, similar to the corner units known from the prior art, protect the corners of the packaging device during transport, possibly hold together different packaging parts and at the same time contribute to the easier displacement of the packaging device due to the roll.

Erfindungsgemäß kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Eckeinheit aus einer ersten Hälfte und einer zweiten Hälfte besteht, die über Verschlusselemente miteinander verbindbar sind. Eine derartige Eckeinheit kann somit auch bei bereits von der Verpackungsvorrichtung umgebenem zu transportierendem Gegenstand nachträglich einfach an der Verpackungsvorrichtung angebracht werden, indem die beiden Hälften auf die entsprechenden Seiten der Ecke aufgebracht und miteinander verbunden werden.According to the invention it can be provided that the corner unit consists of a first half and a second half, which can be connected to one another via closure elements. Such a corner unit can thus subsequently easily be attached to the packaging device even when the object to be transported is already surrounded by the packaging device be attached by the two halves are applied to the corresponding sides of the corner and connected to each other.

Hierbei kann jede der Hälften der Eckeinheit eine Rolle aufweisen, die insbesondere auf einer gemeinsamen Achse drehbar gehaltert sind. Auf diese Weise kann der Kraftfluss der Gewichtskraft des zu transportierenden Gegenstands über eine jede der Hälften auf die entsprechend der Hälfte zugeordnete Rolle übergehen.In this case, each of the halves of the corner unit may have a roller, which in particular is rotatably supported on a common axis. In this way, the force flow of the weight of the object to be transported can pass over one of the halves to the corresponding half assigned role.

Erfindungsgemäß kann vorgesehen sein, dass an mindestens einem der Verpackungsteile eine Halteleiste mit einer Ausnehmung angeordnet ist, die in die Eckeinheit hineinragt, wobei in der Eckeinheit ein Haltevorsprung angeordnet ist, der in die Ausnehmung eingreifen kann. Durch eine derartige Gestaltung von Verpackungsteil und Eckeinheit wird mit einfachen Mitteln eine feste mechanische Verbindung zwischen den Verpackungsteilen und den Eckeinheiten erreicht.According to the invention it can be provided that at least one of the packaging parts, a retaining strip is arranged with a recess which projects into the corner unit, wherein in the corner unit, a holding projection is arranged, which can engage in the recess. By such a design of the packaging part and corner unit a simple mechanical connection between the packaging parts and the corner units is achieved by simple means.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung weist die mindestens eine Eckeinheit einen äußeren Stapelvorsprung sowie eine auf ihrer gegenüberliegenden Seite angeordnete äußere Stapelausnehmung auf, die das Stapeln unterschiedlicher Verpackungsvorrichtungen erleichtern können. Die Eckeinheiten können somit zusätzlich auch noch zur Stapelbarkeit der Verpackungsvorrichtungen beitragen.According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the at least one corner unit has an outer stacking projection and an outer stacking recess arranged on its opposite side, which can facilitate the stacking of different packaging devices. The corner units can thus additionally contribute to the stackability of the packaging devices.

Erfindungsgemäß besteht die Möglichkeit, dass der zu transportierende Gegenstand eine Tischtennisplatte ist. Eine von einer Verpackungsvorrichtung umgebene Tischtennisplatte lässt sich ohne die erfindungsgemäßen Rollen der Verpackung nur sehr schwer von einem einzelnen Menschen transportieren. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausstattung der Verpackungsvorrichtung mit Rollen kann die von der Verpackungsvorrichtung umgebene Tischtennisplatte vergleichsweise leicht von einem einzelnen Menschen geschoben werden.According to the invention, there is the possibility that the object to be transported is a table tennis table. A table tennis table surrounded by a packaging device is very difficult to transport by a single person without the rolls of the packaging according to the invention. By the inventive equipment of the packaging device with Rolls can be relatively easily pushed by a single person surrounded by the packaging device table tennis table.

Wie aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, kann das mindestens eine flächige Verpackungsteil aus Pappe gefertigt und insbesondere zumindest teilweise gefaltet sein, so dass ein Faltkarton entsteht.As known from the prior art, the at least one flat packing part can be made of cardboard and in particular at least partially folded, so that a folding carton is produced.

Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich ist, umfasst eine erfindungsgemäße Verpackungsvorrichtung flächige Verpackungsteile 1, die beispielsweise als Pappflächen oder dergleichen ausgebildet sind. Die flächigen Verpackungsteile 1 können die zu transportierenden Gegenstände insbesondere vollständig umschließen. Die flächigen Verpackungsteile können wie aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, gefaltete Verpackungskartons aus Pappe sein.As can be seen from FIG. 1, a packaging device according to the invention comprises flat packaging parts 1, which are designed, for example, as cardboard surfaces or the like. The flat packaging parts 1 can in particular completely enclose the objects to be transported. The flat packaging parts can be folded paperboard cardboard boxes as known from the prior art.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verpackungsvorrichtung umfasst weiterhin Eckeinheiten 2, 3, die die insbesondere vier Ecken der in Fig. 1 quadratisch ausgebildeten Verpackungsvorrichtung umgreifen können. Die Eckeinheiten 2, 3 können dabei zum einen zur Befestigung separater flächiger Verpackungsteile 1 aneinander dienen und/oder zum Schutz der Verpackungsvorrichtung, insbesondere der Ecken der Verpackungsvorrichtung während des Transportes dienen. Die in Fig. 1 unten abgebildeten Eckeinheiten 3 weisen im Gegensatz zu den an der Oberseite der Verpackungsvorrichtung angeordneten Eckeinheiten 2 Rollen 4 auf, die in dem in Fig. 1 abgebildeten Zustand auf dem Boden 5 aufstehen können.The packaging device according to the invention further comprises corner units 2, 3, which can embrace the particular four corners of the square in Fig. 1 packaging device. The corner units 2, 3 can serve for the attachment of separate flat packaging parts 1 to one another and / or serve to protect the packaging device, in particular the corners of the packaging device during transport. The in Fig. 1 corner units 3 shown below, in contrast to the arranged on the top of the packaging device corner units 2 rollers 4, which can stand up in the state shown in Fig. 1 on the bottom 5.

Die Eckeinheit 3 ist aus Fig. 2 bis Fig. 5 noch einmal deutlicher ersichtlich. Insbesondere Fig. 3 lässt sich entnehmen, dass die Eckeinheit 3 eine beinahe würfelähnliche Form aufweist. Dabei lässt sich Fig. 3 und auch Fig. 5 deutlich entnehmen, dass die Eckeinheit 3 eine erste Hälfte 6 und eine zweite Hälfte 7 aufweist, die über Verschlusselemente 8, 9 miteinander verbindbar sind.The corner unit 3 can be seen more clearly from FIGS. 2 to 5. In particular, Fig. 3 it can be seen that the corner unit 3 has an almost dice-like shape. It can be clearly seen in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 that the corner unit 3 has a first half 6 and a second half 7, which can be connected to one another via closure elements 8, 9.

Die Eckeinheit 3 ist innen teilweise hohl, so dass sie den Eckbereich der Verpackungsvorrichtung bzw. der flächigen Verpackungsteile 1 umgreifen kann. Aus Fig. 2 ist ersichtlich, dass an mindestens einem der Verpackungsteile 1 eine Halteleiste 10 angebracht ist, die in die Eckeinheit 3 hineinragt. Die Halteleiste 10 weist eine Ausnehmung 11 auf, die von einem Haltevorsprung 12 der Eckeinheit 3 hintergriffen werden kann. Durch das Zusammenwirken der Halteleiste 10 und der Haltevorsprünge 12 können die Eckeinheiten 3 sicher an den Verpackungsteilen 1 angebracht werden.The corner unit 3 is partially hollow inside, so that it can embrace the corner region of the packaging device or the flat packaging parts 1. From Fig. 2 it is seen that at least one of the packaging parts 1, a retaining strip 10 is mounted, which projects into the corner unit 3. The retaining strip 10 has a recess 11 which can be engaged behind by a retaining projection 12 of the corner unit 3. By the cooperation of the retaining strip 10 and the retaining projections 12, the corner units 3 can be securely attached to the packaging parts 1.

Fig. 3 ist weiterhin entnehmbar, dass jede der Hälften 6, 7 der Eckeinheit 3 eine Rolle 4 aufweist, die auf einer gemeinsamen Achse 13 (siehe Fig. 5) drehbar gehaltert sind. Die Rollen 4 sind dabei insbesondere in dem sich von den flächigen Verpackungsteilen 1 weg erstreckenden äußersten Eckbereich der Eckeinheit 3 angeordnet.Fig. 3 is further shown that each of the halves 6, 7 of the corner unit 3 has a roller 4, which are rotatably supported on a common axis 13 (see Fig. 5). The rollers 4 are arranged in particular in the outermost corner area of the corner unit 3 extending away from the flat packaging parts 1.

Aus Fig. 3 und Fig. 5 ist weiterhin ersichtlich, dass die erste Hälfte 6 der Eckeinheit 3 einen im wesentlichen parallel zu der Achse 13 nach außen wegragenden Stapelvorsprung 14 aufweist. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite weist die zweite Hälfte 7 der Eckeinheit 3 eine ebenfalls sich parallel zu der Achse 13 in das Innere der zweiten Hälfte 7 hineinerstreckende äußere Stapelausnehmung 15 auf. Der Stapelvorsprung 14 und die Stapelausnehmung 15 sind dabei derart angeordnet und geformt, dass Stapelvorsprünge 14 und Stapelausnehmungen 15 unterschiedlicher Verpackungsvorrichtungen ineinander greifen können, so dass die Stapelvorsprünge 14 und die Stapelausnehmungen 15 das Stapeln der Verpackungsvorrichtungen ermöglichen bzw. erleichtern.It can further be seen from FIGS. 3 and 5 that the first half 6 of the corner unit 3 has a stacking projection 14 projecting outwards substantially parallel to the axis 13. On the opposite side, the second half 7 of the corner unit 3 an also parallel to the axis 13 in the interior of the second half 7 hineinerstreckende outer stacking recess 15. The stacking projection 14 and the stacking recess 15 are arranged and shaped such that stacking projections 14 and stacking recesses 15 of different packaging devices can intermesh, so that the stacking projections 14 and the stacking recesses 15 facilitate or facilitate the stacking of the packaging devices.

Erfindungsgemäß besteht durchaus die Möglichkeit, die Rollen 4 nicht an Eckeinheiten 3 sondern beispielsweise an der Unterseite der Verpackungsvorrichtung mittig oder verteilt über die Unterseite anzubringen. Bei der Unterseite kann es sich sowohl um eine Schmalseite als auch um eine Längsseite handeln.According to the invention, it is quite possible to mount the rollers 4 not centrally on corner units 3 but, for example, on the underside of the packaging device, or distributed over the underside. The underside can be both a narrow side and a long side.
