Description

The invention relates to a method for building or assembling a transport packaging made of cardboard material, in particular a cardboard packaging, and a correspondingly constructed transport packaging made of cardboard material.

In the manufacture of transport packaging made of cardboard material, it is known to fold a pre-cut cardboard element in a defined manner and thus to create a box-like receptacle for individual articles. It can also be provided to insert a structurally independent, double-layer partition into the receiving space and to glue it to the inner surfaces of the receiving container by means of adhesive tabs, in order to enable stable subdivision of the receiving space, as is proposed in US Pat. No. 8,567,661 B2. The associated expenses or costs can, however, be considerable, so that such a design is only conditionally suitable when transport packaging is as inexpensive as possible.

The US 3,749,299 A describes a box-like folding box with vertically running slots on the inside of its multi-layered wall sections. These slots are provided for holding or positively receiving the ends of individual, plate-shaped partition walls with which plate-shaped partition walls separate compartments are built up within the folding box. The time required for the manual assembly of such a folding box is quite high and also requires increased skill.

An increased level of dexterity is also required for the assembly of a known transport packaging, as can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2 of the document in question.

The object of the present invention was to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide an improved transport packaging with a plurality of receiving compartments or to provide a method for assembling a transport packaging which can be carried out as quickly and easily as possible ,

[0006] This object is achieved by a method according to the claims.

[0007] According to the invention, a method for building or assembling a transport packaging made of cardboard material is provided, the method comprising the following method steps:

- Providing a receiving box with a rectangular or square base element and four upstanding wall elements to create a top-open receiving space;

- Providing or providing at least two spaced-apart support lugs or projections projecting into the receiving space on two mutually opposite wall elements of the receiving box;

Provision of at least one subdivision element which is essentially U-shaped in cross section and made of a folded cardboard material, comprising a base section and two leg sections rising therefrom;

- Inserting the at least one U-shaped subdivision element into the receiving box, so that its base section rests on the base element and the outer sides of the leg sections of the at least one U-shaped subdivision element facing away from one another are supported on the closest associated support lug, so that the leg sections are spread apart elastically relative to the common base section is limited or prevented;

- Form-fitting connection or assembly of at least one intermediate wall element running transversely to the at least one U-shaped dividing element with the leg sections of the at least one U-shaped dividing element that are positioned via the support lugs or are in the desired position.

Patent Office The method according to the invention has the particular advantage that even a transport packaging with an increased number of compartments can be assembled quickly and easily or in a process-stable manner. This favors economy, especially in connection with manual assembly of the transport packaging. Due to the fact that the at least one U-shaped dividing element is inserted beforehand into the receiving box provided and is held in position by the protruding supporting lugs, it is subsequently relatively simple or uncomplicated to have the at least one intermediate wall element running transversely thereto with a positive coupling relative to the at least one insert or install a U-shaped dividing element. Due to the specified structure and the specified method of assembly, it is not necessary that those persons who have to assemble the appropriate transport packaging have increased skill or require special training measures.

Furthermore, it may be useful if at least one pair of spaced-apart support lugs is provided on the two opposite wall elements of the receiving box, and that a U-shaped dividing element is supported by means of opposite pairs of support lugs. As a result, an undesired spreading of its two legs is prevented at both ends of the at least one U-shaped dividing element, so that the subsequent positive coupling with the at least one transverse partition wall element can be carried out quickly and without complications.

The at least one intermediate wall element can be formed by a cross-sectionally substantially U-shaped element made of folded cardboard material, which comprises a base section and two leg sections rising therefrom. This enables transport packaging with an increased number of storage compartments to be put together quickly and efficiently.

It can further be provided that the positive connection between the at least one U-shaped partition element and the at least one partition wall element by slits in the leg sections of the at least one U-shaped partition element and by complementary slots in the leg sections and in the base section of the at least one partition wall element is built up. As a result, an extensive compartment can be built up inside the receiving box, which can withstand the loads that typically occur.

According to a practical procedure, it is provided that all of the U-shaped dividing elements required for the construction of the transport packaging are successively inserted directly into the receiving box and subsequently the at least one transverse partition wall element is inserted directly into the receiving box. In particular, in a first step, U-shaped dividing elements can be inserted into the receiving box and, in a subsequent step, transverse partition elements can be inserted into the receiving box so that between 6 and 49 receiving compartments, in particular between 15 and 35 receiving compartments, preferably 25, at least partially separated from one another Receiving compartments for bottle-like or can-like containers are formed within the receiving box. The corresponding assembly process can thus be carried out quickly and easily even with a relatively large number of receiving compartments to be set up.

[0013] The object of the invention is also achieved by a transport packaging made of cardboard material, which transport packaging comprises the following features:

- A receiving box with a rectangular or square base element and four upstanding wall elements to create an open-topped space;

- In each case at least two spaced-apart support lugs or projections protruding into the receiving space on two mutually opposite wall elements of the receiving box;

- At least one cross-sectionally substantially U-shaped dividing element made of a folded cardboard material, comprising a base section and two leg sections rising therefrom, the at least one U-shaped dividing element being inserted into the receiving box in such a way that its base section rests or abuts the bottom element and the outer sides of the leg sections of the at least one U-shaped dividing element facing away from each other are supported on the support lug that is respectively assigned closest, so that an elastic spreading of the leg sections relative to the common base section is limited or prevented, and at least one extending transversely to the at least one U-shaped dividing element Intermediate wall element is formed, which is positively connected to the leg portions of the at least one U-shaped partitioning element positioned via the supporting lugs.

The advantageous effects and technical effects which can be achieved with such transport packaging can be found in the preceding and the following parts of the description.

It may also be expedient if the base sections of the at least one U-shaped partition element and base sections of at least one U-shaped partition wall element bear on the base element of the receiving box in a load-transmitting manner. This creates an at least sectionally multi-layered and thus reinforced floor element which can withstand increased loads. The material requirement is low and the base sections of the U-shaped elements inserted into the receiving box fulfill a multiple function in a synergetic manner.

It can also be provided that end faces of the at least one U-shaped dividing element butt against flat inner surfaces of the opposing wall elements and front ends of the at least one intermediate wall element butt against flat inner sides of the transverse wall elements. This ensures that the transport packaging is joined and plugged together as quickly and as easily as possible, and at the same time that the receiving box is constructed as inexpensively as possible.

According to an advantageous embodiment it can be provided that the support lugs are formed by projections knocked out of the wall elements or integrally designed on the wall elements. As a result, sufficiently stable support lugs can be created in a cost-effective and efficient manner.

For a better understanding of the invention, this will be explained in more detail with reference to the following figures.

As an introduction, it should be noted that in the differently described embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals or the same component names, and the disclosures contained in the entire description can be applied analogously to the same parts with the same reference numerals or the same component names. The location information selected in the description, e.g. above, below, to the side, etc., referring to the figure described and illustrated immediately, and if the position is changed, these are to be applied accordingly to the new position.

1 and 2, a transport packaging 1 known from the prior art or the usual procedure for its assembly is illustrated. Such a transport packaging 1 is suitable for transporting or storing a plurality of articles, such as bottles, cans or other receptacles for liquids or solid substances. Particularly when the bottles to be transported and / or stored are formed by glass bottles, for example by wine or beer bottles, such a transport packaging 1 can be used to achieve a practical transport which is better protected against breakage.

The respective number of compartments 2 for the adjustable in the transport packaging 1 items (not shown) is primarily defined by a plurality of orthogonal to each other, positively coupled, plate-shaped dividers 3, 4. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2, a total of four spaced-apart, parallel, plate-shaped separating webs 3 are provided, as well as a total of four second dividing webs 4 running transverse to the first dividing webs 3, which are also arranged at a certain distance from one another. In the assembled state of the first and second separating webs 3, 4, this results in a compartment 5, as is exemplified in the upper section of FIG. 2.

This multi-part, one-piece compartments 5 is thus usually constructed by form-fittingly inserted, plate-shaped separating webs 3, 4, as illustrated in FIG. 1. In this case, a plurality of first plate-shaped dividers 3 are positively connected to a plurality of second, further dividers 4 running transversely to the first dividers 3. Suitable for this purpose are coupling slots 6 in the first separating webs 3, which correspond to further coupling slots 7 running in opposite or opposite directions in the further separating webs 4, in particular can be set in a form-fitting interaction. This type of interlocking connection between the first and second plate-shaped separating webs 3, 4 corresponds approximately to a so-called overlapping of intersecting elements.

1 requires increased skill in assembling this compartment 5, after the individual plate-shaped dividers 3, 4 must be exactly aligned with each other in order to build the mutual positive coupling.

The transport packaging 1 known from the prior art according to FIG. 2 is completed by the previously assembled compartments 5 (FIG. 1) subsequently being transferred or inserted into an upwardly open receiving box 8, as best shown in FIG Fig. 2 can be removed and has been illustrated by an arrow pointing downwards. To a certain extent, this receiving box 8 represents an outer boundary or a bottom element for the compartments 5 which have been manufactured or assembled beforehand. If necessary, a cover element (not shown) can also be provided, with which an upper end or an upper limiting lid for the one inserted into the receiving box 8 Compartments 5 can be created.

Patent Office As an alternative or in combination, it is also possible to stabilize the known transport packaging 1, as illustrated in FIG. 2, by a covering, for example from a plastic film, or to delimit it from the outside. This so-called outer packaging in relation to the compartment 5 can also be made in several parts or can be formed from different materials.

3 to 9 show an improved embodiment of a generic transport packaging 1 (FIGS. 8, 9) or an improved method for assembling or assembling such a transport packaging 1 is illustrated (FIGS. 3 to 7).

In the illustrated embodiment, the transport packaging 1 has a total of 25 receiving compartments 2, which are provided for receiving a total of 25 bottle or can-like containers. Of course, the number of available storage compartments 2 within the transport packaging 1 can also be selected to be lower or higher. A suitably designed transport packaging 1 comprises between 6 and 49 storage compartments, in particular between 15 and 35 storage compartments, for example 25 storage compartments 2 for bottle-like or can-like containers that are at least partially separated from one another. The advantages of the specified transport packaging 1 or assembly method come to the fore particularly in the case of a relatively large number of storage compartments 2, in particular in the case of a number of 20 and more (greater than or equal to 20) individual storage compartments 2.

In order to create the improved transport packaging 1 according to FIG. 8, in contrast to the design according to FIGS. 1, 2, no prefabricated compartment 5 is built up. Rather, individual or subdivision elements are provided, which are inserted or inserted sequentially or approximately simultaneously directly into a receiving box 8 (FIG. 5) provided. In particular, in accordance with the exemplary flow diagrams or excerpted scenes according to FIGS. 3 to 7, the compartment 5 is assembled or assembled directly in the receiving box 8.

As can best be seen from an overview of FIGS. 3 to 5, an open-top receiving box 8 or a similar, for example box-shaped or trough-shaped receiving container is provided, among other things. Typically, this receiving box 8 is made of cardboard or corrugated cardboard and is designed as a folding box. The receptacle box 8, which is essentially cuboid in terms of its outer contour, comprises an at least approximately rectangular or square base element 9. Four wall elements 10, 10 'and 11, 11' projecting from the base element 9 define the receptacle space 12 of the receptacle box 8. This receptacle space 12 and The receiving volume, which can also be referred to as a so-called water measure, can be selected to be smaller than the volume of the goods or articles to be transported. In particular, it can be expedient if a height 13 of the receiving box 8 or its wall elements 10, 10 ′, 11, 1T is lower than a web height 14 of subdivision elements 15 to be inserted or inserted therein.

The receiving box 8 has at least two mutually spaced support lugs 16, 17 and 16 ″, 17 ″ with respect to mutually opposite wall elements 10, 10 ″. These support lugs 16, 17 or 16 ″, 17 ″ are preferably designed near the upper boundary edge of the receiving box 8 or its wall elements 10, 10 ″. These support lugs 16, 17 and 16 ″, 17 ″ protrude from the upper edge or edge section of the receiving box 8 in the direction of the center or receiving space 12 of the receiving box 8 (FIG. 5). A cantilever width 18 of the support lugs 16, 17 or 16 ″, 17 ″ can be only a fraction or even a multiple of a thickness 19 of the wall elements 10, 10 ″ (see FIGS. 5, 9). It is expedient if the cantilever width 18 of the support lugs 16, 16 'or 17, 17' is 0.5 to 4 times, in particular 1.0 to 3 times, preferably approximately 2 times the thickness 19 Wall elements 10, 10 '. A vertical height of the support lugs 16, 17 or 16 ″, 17 ″ can be 0.5 to 5 times the cantilever width 18 in order to achieve a favorable ratio between the production outlay and the support effect.

Patent Office [0041] The supporting lugs 16, 16 'and 17, 17' are preferably formed by integrally formed projections 20 of the wall elements 10, 10 '. The support lugs 16, 16 'and 17, 17' protruding in the manner of support frames or support brackets in the direction of the receiving space 12 are therefore preferably formed by projections 20 formed in one piece on the wall elements 10, 10 '.

In particular, it is expedient if the support lugs 16, 16 'or 17, 17' are formed by so-called knocked-out projections 20 on the wall elements 10 or 10 ', as is shown by way of example in FIG. 9. The support lug 16 shown in FIG. 9 is detached or knocked out of an at least 2-layer, in particular 3-layer, wall element 10. Each of these layers of the wall element 10 or 10 'is preferably formed from corrugated cardboard or cardboard, which is folded to form the corresponding wall element 10, 10'. In this case, corrugated cardboard or cardboard has preferably been cut to size beforehand in accordance with a defined sectional model and has been folded in accordance with a defined folding scheme to build up the receiving box 8.

In the illustrated embodiment, the wall element 10 (like the opposite wall element 10j is constructed in three layers and comprises two outer layers, which are formed by the material of the wall element 10 per se, while the middle layer is made of the material of the transverse wall element 1T Deviating from this three-layer wall structure, it is also possible to provide a wall structure 10 or 10 'with only two layers and to nevertheless be able to carry out the support lugs 16, 17 or 16', 17 '.

The integrally designed support lugs 16, 17 and 16 ', 17' on the wall elements 10 and 10 'are provided by slits or narrow incisions 21 in the material of the wall elements 10 and 10' (Fig. 7, 9) , In addition, embossing lines 22 (FIG. 9) can be implemented in the material of the wall elements 10 or 10 'in order to achieve a defined folding of the material of the wall element 10 or 10'. Through the incisions 21 and embossed lines 22 in the material of the wall elements 10 and 10 ', the previously described support lugs 16, 17 and 16', 17 'can be folded out of the wall elements 10 and 10' as defined as possible or from the cardboard or Corrugated cardboard material to be knocked out. This allows a structurally simple design, in particular a one-piece construction of the wall elements 10, 10 'with the support lugs 16, 17 or 16', 17 'formed integrally thereon. In particular, by means of incisions 21 that are easy to produce in terms of production technology, by means of any embossing lines 22 that may have been introduced, and by means of an at least two-layer folding of the material of the wall element 10 or 10 ′ (FIG. 9), an integral and sufficiently stable design of projections 20 in the vicinity of the upper boundary edge the wall elements 10 and 10 'are created. The projections 20 or support lugs 16, 17 or 16 ', 17' created by cutting or folding technology are thus primarily created by incisions 21 in the material of the wall elements 10 or 10 'which run essentially parallel to one another (FIGS. 5 and 9 ).

For the construction of the transport packaging 1, at least one ultimately U-shaped dividing element 15 is also required. In the initial state, as shown in FIG. 3, this sub-element 15, which is essentially U-shaped in cross section when in use, is designed to be flat or plate-like.

When in use, this subdivision element 15 is then folded in a U shape, as can best be seen from FIGS. 6 and 7. Depending on the number of receiving compartments 2 which are to be formed within the receiving box 8, the number of the ultimately U-shaped dividing elements 15 required can vary. In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, two U-shaped subdivision elements 15 are inserted or inserted into the receiving box 8. The U-shaped subdivision elements 15 are preferably made of a flat or plate-like cardboard material, for example corrugated cardboard. As can best be seen from FIG. 3, essentially square or rectangular cardboard elements can be provided as the starting material, each having a plurality of slits 23 which start from one another

Patent office of the opposite longitudinal edges each run perpendicularly in the direction of the central axis 24 of the square or rectangular cardboard material 25.

The corresponding cardboard material 25 is subsequently folded in such a way that it forms the ultimately U-shaped dividing element 15. For this purpose, the cardboard material 25 FIG. 3 can comprise a strip-shaped base section 26 and two leg sections 27, 28 adjoining this base section 26. 5, 6 and 7, the corresponding dividing element 15, which is to be inserted or inserted directly into the receiving box 8, is shaped or folded such that it has a lower base section 26 and two to the side thereof includes upstanding leg portions 27, 28 (Fig. 7).

5 and 6, it can be seen how the U-shaped subdivision element 15 or a plurality of U-shaped subdivision elements 15 (FIG. 6) is inserted into the receiving box 8. It is provided that the base section 26 of the U-shaped dividing element 15 is supported on the base element 9 or bears against it. In addition, it is provided that the outer surfaces or outer sides 29, 30 of the leg sections 27, 28 that face away from one another are supported on the support lug 16, 17 or 16 ″, 17 ″ that is respectively assigned to them. In particular, this support is provided via the support lugs 16, 17 or 16 ″, 17 ″ in such a way that an elastic spreading of the leg sections 27, 28 relative to the common base section 26 is limited or prevented. In particular, the leg sections 27, 28 tend to transition into a flat or planar shape, as is illustrated in the initial state according to FIG. 3. This is the case even if embossing grooves 31, or similar notches or grooves, which form contour hinge or a type of film hinge, or similar notches or grooves are incorporated in the cardboard material 25, as is shown by way of example in FIG. 3. This tendency of the cardboard material 25 to expand (FIG. 5) is primarily caused by the elastic restoring forces in the deformation or kink region between the base section 26 and the leg sections 27, 28. The integral support lugs 16, 17 and 16 ', 17' on the wall elements 10 and 10 'prevent undesired deviations from the planned, cross-sectionally U-shaped contour of the dividing element 15 as soon as it has been inserted or inserted into the receiving box 8 (Fig. 6).

6, two parallel, cross-sectionally U-shaped subdivision elements 15 have been inserted at the planned positions in the receiving box 8, the outer sides 29, 30 of the respective U-shaped subdivision elements 15 on the adjacent support lugs Support 16, 17 or 16 ', 17'. As a result, the plan or target position of the ultimately U-shaped subdivision elements 15 is guaranteed or maintained.

This insertion or installation of the U-shaped subdivision elements 15 in the provided receiving box 8 can be done quickly and without special consideration for the positioning and positional stability of the U-shaped subdivision elements 15 (FIG. 5).

As soon as the required number of U-shaped dividing elements 5 has been introduced into the receiving box 8 - in the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 5, 6 there are two such elements - the assembly of the transport packaging 1 to be achieved according to FIG. 8 can be continued , For this purpose - as can best be seen from FIG. 6 - at least one intermediate wall element 32 is inserted into the partially assembled receiving box 8. In particular, at least one intermediate wall element 32 running transversely to the one or more U-shaped dividing elements 15 is positively connected to the leg sections 27, 28 of the at least one U-shaped dividing element 15. In particular, at least one U-shaped partitioning element 15 is inserted or plugged in and joined together within the receiving box 8 with at least one partition or intermediate wall element 32 to be inserted transversely into the receiving box 8, as can best be seen from FIG. 6.

Such a partition or partition element 32 can in the simplest case by a

AT 520 446 B1 2019-04-15 Austrian

Flat or plate-like element can be formed with complementary slots 33 with respect to the slots 23 in the U-shaped dividing element 15. Instead of using a plate-like or planar partition or partition wall element 32, it is also possible, according to a further development, to form the at least one partition wall element 32 by means of an essentially U-shaped element made of folded cardboard material 25, as shown in FIGS 4, 6 and 7 was exemplified. This ultimately U-shaped intermediate wall element 32 comprises a central or central base section 34 and two leg sections 35, 36 rising therefrom, as can best be seen from an overview of FIGS. 4 and 6.

As can best be seen from an overview of FIGS. 6 and 7, the result is that a secure or stabilizing positive connection between the at least one U-shaped dividing element 15 and the at least one partition element 32 can be established by the complementary slots 33 in the leg sections 36, 37 of the at least one intermediate wall element 32 engage in the leg sections 27, 28 of the at least one U-shaped dividing element 15 - and vice versa.

As can best be seen from FIGS. 5 and 6, in view of the specified assembly method or transport packaging 1, it is ensured that a simple and efficient assembly can be carried out. Nevertheless, the final transport packaging 1 (FIG. 8) can be constructed or implemented inexpensively. This is achieved, inter alia, by providing two pairs of support lugs 16, 17 and 16 ', 17', spaced apart from one another, on two mutually opposite wall elements 10, 10 'of the receiving box 8, and by means of two pairs of support lugs opposite one another 16, 17 or 16 ', 17', a U-shaped dividing element 15 from a group of two U-shaped dividing elements 15 is supported (FIG. 8).

5 to 8 can be seen, all or all of the required subdivision elements 15 and all of the required or required intermediate wall elements 32 are successively or successively inserted directly into the receiving box 8, first all U-shaped partitioning elements 15 are inserted into the receiving box 8 provided and subsequently at least one intermediate wall element 32 extending transversely thereto is inserted, which can be flat or preferably also U-shaped in cross-section.

The exemplary embodiments show possible design variants, it being noted at this point that the invention is not restricted to the specially illustrated design variants of the same, but rather also various combinations of the individual design variants with one another are possible and this variation possibility is based on the teaching of technical action The present invention resides in the ability of the person skilled in the art in this technical field.

The scope of protection is determined by the claims. However, the description and drawings are to be used to interpret the claims. Individual features or combinations of features from the different exemplary embodiments shown and described can represent independent inventive solutions. The object on which the independent inventive solutions are based can be found in the description.
