Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing filling elements for filling up empty spaces in packaging.
- the application relates to the filling elements themselves.
- Styrofoam flakes are known as a pourable filling material for filling up empty spaces in shipping cartons.
- styrofoam is considered to be environmentally harmful.
- Mat-shaped cushions with a waffle-shaped pattern of pyramidal protuberances and cavities are also known as non-pourable filling material. Such cushions consist at least partially of recycled fiber molded parts. Such mats with a special absorbency for absorbing moisture from the ambient air are known, for example, from the Honywell property right EP 1 806 297 .
- molded fiber parts are known from the German utility model as filling materials with anti-corrosion agents DE 20 2017 003 456 U1 .
- the invention is based on the object of providing an alternative method for producing pourable filling elements for filling up empty spaces in packaging and corresponding alternative corresponding pourable filling elements themselves.
- the filling elements are produced from a cushion mat with protuberances by separating the individual hollow protuberances from the cushion mat, the separated protuberances each forming one of the filling elements.
- the hollow protuberances that have been cut out are advantageously pourable as individual filling elements.
- the filling elements produced in this way can advantageously be disposed of as cardboard or can be reused. Unlike Styrofoam, they are not harmful to the environment.
- the filling elements are separated from the cushion mat 100 by cutting them out with a wave cut, ie a cut with a wave-shaped or sawtooth-shaped edge; please refer Figure 3 .
- a wave cut ie a cut with a wave-shaped or sawtooth-shaped edge
- the individual pourable filling elements can interlock with one another after being filled into a packaging. This has the advantage that the position of the filling elements within the packaging relative to one another is maintained by the toothing and therefore the object to be packaged remains firmly fixed in the packaging.
- the individual filling elements can also be separated from the padding by straight cuts. The edges of the filling elements are then delimited in a straight line; please refer Figure 4 .
- the above-mentioned object of the invention is also achieved by a filler element 110 produced according to the method according to the invention.
- the filling element 110 is typically conical or pyramidal, in particular frustoconical or truncated pyramidal.
- the filling element 110 is a hollow molded fiber part, which is preferably made from waste paper.
- the production from waste paper offers the advantages mentioned above including the environmentally friendly disposal.
- the filling element 110 can also be formed from an absorbent material which is suitable for absorbing a liquid which, for. B. from a defective container, such as a leaky lid of a padded bottle in the filling elements, or to absorb moisture, in particular from the ambient air, in each case within the packaging.
- absorbent material offers the advantage that the object to be packaged is then in particular also protected against corrosion because the absorbent material keeps the liquid or moisture away from the object.
- the already known waste paper is also suitable as a molded fiber material for absorbing moisture. The provision of an anti-corrosion agent in or on the filling elements would, however, improve the protection against corrosion even further.
- the protuberances 110 in the cushion mat 100 and thus the filling elements 110 can have one or more blocking elements 120 in their hollow interior; see also the Figures 3 and 4th .
- the at least one blocking element advantageously prevents the filling elements from stacking one inside the other when they are used as bulk material for filling up empty spaces in cardboard boxes.
- the blocking elements 120 ensure a large volume and the buffer effect of the bulk material or the filling elements.
- the blocking elements can, for example, be ribs, as in FIGS Figures 3 and 4th shown, or act around bars. In principle, the blocking elements can be shaped as desired in the interior of the filling elements.

Abstract
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Füllelementen (110) zum Auffüllen von Leerräumen in Verpackungen sowie ein entsprechendes Füllelement selber. Die Erfindung sieht vor, solche Füllelemente (110) herzustellen durch Heraustrennen von einzelnen hohlen Ausstülpungen aus bekannten Polstermatten (100) mit derartigen Ausstülpungen. Die herausgetrennten Ausstülpungen werden dann jeweils als ein solches Füllelement verwendet.The invention relates to a method for producing filling elements (110) for filling up empty spaces in packaging and a corresponding filling element itself. The invention provides for such filling elements (110) to be produced by separating out individual hollow protuberances from known upholstery mats (100) with protuberances of this type. The cut-out protuberances are then each used as such a filling element.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Füllelementen zum Auffüllen von Leerräumen in Verpackungen. Darüber hinaus betrifft die Anmeldung die Füllelemente selber.The invention relates to a method for producing filling elements for filling up empty spaces in packaging. In addition, the application relates to the filling elements themselves.
Im Stand der Technik sind somit Styropor-Flocken als schüttfähiges Füllmaterial zum Auffüllen von Leerräumen in Versandkartons bekannt. Styropor gilt jedoch als umweltschädlich.In the prior art, therefore, Styrofoam flakes are known as a pourable filling material for filling up empty spaces in shipping cartons. However, styrofoam is considered to be environmentally harmful.
Als nicht schüttfähiges Füllmaterial sind auch mattenförmige Polster mit einem waffelförmigen Muster aus pyramidenförmigen Ausstülpungen und Hohlräumen bekannt. Derartige Polster bestehen zumindest teilweise aus Altpapier-Faserformteilen. Derartige Matten mit einer speziellen Saugfähigkeit zur Aufnahme von Feuchtigkeit aus der Umgebungsluft sind beispielsweise bekannt aus dem Honywell-Schutzrecht
Schließlich sind Faserformteile als Füllmaterialien mit Korrosionsschutzmittel bekannt aus der deutschen Gebrauchsmusterschrift
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein alternatives Verfahren zum Herstellen von schüttfähigen Füllelementen zum Auffüllen von Leerräumen in Verpackungen sowie entsprechende alternative entsprechende schüttfähige Füllelemente selber bereitzustellen.The invention is based on the object of providing an alternative method for producing pourable filling elements for filling up empty spaces in packaging and corresponding alternative corresponding pourable filling elements themselves.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch das in Patentanspruch 1 beanspruchte Verfahren gelöst. Demnach werden die Füllelemente aus einer Polstermatte mit Ausstülpungen durch Heraustrennen der einzelnen hohlen Ausstülpungen aus der Polstermatte hergestellt, wobei die herausgetrennten Ausstülpungen jeweils eines der Füllelemente bilden. Die herausgetrennten hohlen Ausstülpungen sind als einzelne Füllelemente vorteilhafterweise schüttfähig. Die so hergestellten Füllelemente sind vorteilhafterweise als Pappe entsorgbar oder können wiederverwendet werden. Sie sind nicht umweltschädlich im Unterschied zu Styropor.This object is achieved by the method claimed in claim 1. Accordingly, the filling elements are produced from a cushion mat with protuberances by separating the individual hollow protuberances from the cushion mat, the separated protuberances each forming one of the filling elements. The hollow protuberances that have been cut out are advantageously pourable as individual filling elements. The filling elements produced in this way can advantageously be disposed of as cardboard or can be reused. Unlike Styrofoam, they are not harmful to the environment.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand von Figuren in Form von Ausführungsbeispielen detailliert beschrieben. In allen Figuren sind gleiche technische Elemente mit gleichen Bezugszeichen bezeichnet.
-
Figur 1 zeigt diePolstermatte 100 mit denAusstülpungen 110 in perspektivischer Ansicht. -
Figur 2 zeigt diePolstermatte 100 in einer Draufsicht.
-
Figure 1 shows theupholstery mat 100 with theprotuberances 110 in a perspective view. -
Figure 2 shows thecushion mat 100 in a plan view.
Gemäß einem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel erfolgt das Heraustrennen der Füllelemente, d. h. der hohlen Ausstülpungen 110 aus der Polstermatte 100 durch Herausschneiden mit einem Wellenschnitt, d. h. einem Schnitt mit wellen- oder sägezahnförmiger Kante; siehe
Die oben genannte Aufgabe der Erfindung wird weiterhin durch ein Füllelement 110, hergestellt nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren, gelöst. Das Füllelement 110 ist typischerweise kegel- oder pyramidenförmig, insbesondere kegelstumpf- oder pyramidenstumpfförmig ausgebildet.The above-mentioned object of the invention is also achieved by a
Das Füllelement 110 ist ein hohles Faserformteil, welches vorzugsweise aus Altpapier gefertigt ist. Die Fertigung aus Altpapier bietet die oben genannten Vorteile inklusive der umweltfreundlichen Entsorgung.The
Weiterhin kann das Füllelement 110 auch aus einem saugfähigen Material gebildet sein, welches geeignet ist zum Aufnehmen einer Flüssigkeit, welche z. B. aus einem defekten Gebinde, wie einem undichten Deckel einer in den Füllelementen gepolsterten Flasche, austritt, oder zum Aufnahmen von Feuchtigkeit, insbesondere aus der Umgebungsluft, jeweils innerhalb der Verpackung. Solches saugfähiges Material bietet den Vorteil, dass der zu verpackende Gegenstand dann insbesondere auch gegen Korrosion geschützt ist, weil das saugfähige Material die Flüssigkeit oder Feuchtigkeit von dem Gegenstand fernhält. Zu einem gewissen Grad ist auch das bereits bekannte Altpapier als Faserformmaterial zur Aufnahme von Feuchtigkeit geeignet. Das Vorsehen eines Korrosionsschutzmittels in oder auf den Füllelementen würde jedoch den Korrosionsschutz noch weiter verbessern.Furthermore, the
Schließlich können zumindest einzelne der Ausstülpungen 110 in der Polstermatte 100 und damit der Füllelemente 110 in ihrem hohlen Innenraum ein oder mehrere Blockierelemente 120 aufweisen; siehe auch die
