Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

A packaging comprising a frame receiving a top or bottom of a rectangular parallelepipedal article, e.g. a stack of objects, has the side flanges of its angle-section frame elements or limbs doubled by folding a flap along the side flange. This increases the strength of the frame for a given thickness of the cardboard or allows a thinner cardboard strip to be used for a given strength.

Description

PACKAGING FOR RECTANGULAR PARALLELEPIPEDAL PACKAGES AND
METHOD OF APPLYING THE PAC~AGING

SP~CIFICATION

Field of the Invention My present invention relates tu a packaginy for a 0~.6 pie_e or multipiece article having a rectangular parallelepipedal configuration and thus a rectangular and, in a special case, square outline. More particularly, the invention relates to the formation of such a package wherein a base or bottom frame and a top or head frame of cardboard or paper board can be applied to the article and each frame is composed of angle frame elements in cross section with one flange of the angle underlying or overlying the article and another flange lying along a side wall thereof. Reference may be had to my copending Applica-tion Serial No. 2,050,271 of August 29, 1991 which shows this configuration of packaging materials for holding elements of the article in place when -the article is a stack of objects, and/or for pro-tecting the edges of the article or stack.
2~5~9~

sackground of the Invention Reference may be made herein to a cubic ar'cicle, this term being used to describe a three dimensional structure of rectangular parallelepipedal configuration. The article may be a single piece S which must have its edges protected for shipment or storage~ or a stack of sheets which also requires the edge protection and the packaging system for holding the stack in place, or a multiplicity of rectangular parallelepipedal objects stacked together to form the rectangular parallelepipedal article. In that case, the base or bottom frame and the top or head frame may be bridged by a wrapping which holds the objects in place and retains the frames against the article. In other cases straps or struts extending transversely to the rectilinear elements of the frame may serve to interconnect the frames and hold the assembly together.
As noted, the frame elements can be angles and can have one shank or flange underlying the article in the case of the base or lower frame, or overlying the upper surface of the article in the case of the top or head frame. For both frames, however, the elements have vertical flanges which are juxtaposed with and lie against the sides of the stack.
The packing material or package thus includes, in addition to the article which may be a one piece or multipiece article, the bottom and top frames as described and usually at least one band around the frames or struts between the frames, perpendicular to the frame element crossed by the band or strut, for holding the frames against the article. This band or strut can run perpendicular to the frame elements or limbs.

g ~

The frame elements or limbs can be interconnected to a one-piece or continuous frame. In this case, in the region of the corner of the rectangular or square outline, the strand forming the element can be buckled. The ends of the strand may be joined together to close the frame.
In DE 40 27 762 and my aforementioned copendingapplication, a packaging material of the aforedescribed type is detailed which has been found to be successful in practice. The shanks or flanges of the angle elements rest against the side walls of the material to be shipped and, in addition, either overlie or underlie this material.
The material, even in its bent state forming the angle, is provided in a single layer. It has been found that it is possible to improve the strength of the frames to enable them to withstand the stresses to which the frames are placed to even a greater extent than heretofore.

obi ects of the Invention It i5 the principal object of the present invention to provide an improved pàckaging for rectangular parallelepipedal, especially cubic, articles, utilizing the principles of my copending application whereby drawbacks of earlier systems are avoided.
Another object of this invention is to provide a frame system for rectangular parallelepipedal packages which can withstand greater tensions than earlier systems, is especially effective to withstand the tensile stresses of packaging and which can be fabricated at low cost with a high degree of reliability and reproducibility.

2 ~

Still another object of the invention is to provide an improved method of making the package or appl~ving the packaging material to the article which is to be packaged.

Summary of the Invention These objects and others which will become apparent herein-after are attained, in accordance with the invention, by providing on the flange or a shank of the angle element forming each frame limb, a fold which is doubled over that flange, the fold edge between the flange and the flap forming an upper edge at least of the frame element of the lower frame.
According to a feature of the invention, the flap can be provided on the side of the flange facing the side of the article to be packaged. Alternatively, although less preferred, the flap can be provided on the side of the flange turned away from the article.
It has been found to be advantageous, moreover, to secure the flap against the flange to which it is connected by the fold with an adhesive. This further increases the strength of the frame element or limb.
According to yet a further feature of the invention, along the fold as well as along the bend to be formed between the flanges and prior to the bending or folding thereof, a groove-shaped scoring can be provided. This ensures reliable bending of the flanges at a right angle to one another and precise folding of the flap to lie along one or the other side of the flange.

2 ~ 9 ~

With the system of the invention and doubling of the side flange of the frame by reason of the folding over of the flap, comparatively thin cardboard strips can be fabricated into frames of high strength so that high strength packaging can be fabricated with low utilization of materials.
The strength of the frame is especially high not only because of the doubling as has been described, but also because the fold edge between the flap and the side flange increases the geometrical moment of inertia, strength and stiffness.
It is especially advantageous that the system of the invention can be used with the process described in the aforemen-tioned copendingapplication and, particularly with a folding of the flap as the cardboard strip is fed to the packing location and bent to form the angle between the flanges and wound around the article to produce the base and head frames. For a frame of a givén strength, a thinner strip can be used if it is provided with the flap of the invention, thereby saving material. The weight of the entire package is not thereby increased. For a cardboard strip of the same thickness as the earlier system, the bottom and top frames fabricated according to the invention have greater strength.

Brief Description of the Drawing The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent from the following description, reference being made to the accompanying drawing in which:

~8~

FIG. 1 is an elevational view of a package in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a side view of the package of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a section of the region III of FIG. l;
FIG. ~ illustrates in perspective view the folding of a flap onto a strip before it is fed to the packaging location in accord-ance with the prior application;
FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 3 illustrating another embodiment of the angle element; and FIG. 6 is a detail section of an angle element showing an adhesive ~etween the flange and the flap at a fold thereof.

S~e~ic Oe~ri~ti~n The packaging shown in FIG. 1 comprises a rectangular parallelepipedal article 1 which i5 seen in FIG. 2 to be constituted o a stack of generally rectangular parallelepipedal objects la.
The article can have a rectangular or square outline. The packaging is formed by a bottom or base frame 2 and a further top or head frame 2' can be provided if desired, the latter being identical to the bottom frame 2 but inverted over the top of the stack of objects.
In principle, a wrap can be provided around the frames perpendicular to the limbs thereof as described in the aforemen-tioned copending application. The frame 2 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is rectangular to follow the outline of the article and comprises two relatively short limbs 2a and-two relatively long limbs 2b, all of angle cross section as shown for the frame element 3 in FIG. 3 and 2~8~

which may be continuous with one another, simply buckled at the corners of the article.
As can be seen especially from FIG. 3, the frame elements 3 are fabricated from a cardboard strip 4 (see also FIG. 4).
When bent and folded to its final configuration, the frame element 3 has a side shank or flange 5 at a right angle to another shank or flange 6. The flange 6 underlies the article 1 to be packaged or, in the case of a top frame, overlies the article 1.
The side flange 5 lies alongside the article in a vertical plane with the frames oriented horizontally. Reference may be had to DE 40 27 762 or the aforementioned copending application in this respect.
As can also be seen from FIG. 3, the flange or shank 5, lying along the side of the article, is doubled by a flap 7 folded over this flange 5 and interconnected therewith by a fold edge along the upper edge of the frame element 3.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the flap 7 is disposed on the side of the flange 5 turned toward the article 12. In the embodiment of FIG~ 3, the flange 7' is connected by a fold 8' with ~0 the flange 5', but is turned outwardly and lies along the side of the flange 5' which faces away from the article. As can be seen from FIG. 6, the flap 7 may be bonded to the flange 5 by adhesive 10 applied to either the flap or the flange or both before the flap is folded.

2 ~

The fold edge 8 and the bend between the flanges can be formed respectively at grooved scorings 11 and 12 formed in the strip 13 which is fed to the packaging location and there bent to produce the angle elements of the frame and to fold the flap 7, for example, inwardly (FIG. 4). The scorings 11 and 12 may be embossed in the strip prior to the folding and bending.
FIG. 4 also indicates that the flap 7 can be folded on the strip in the course of advancing that strip to the packaging location where it is wrapped around the base of the article 1 and buckled and ultimately joined at the ends to close the frame in the manner described in the aforementioned copending application.
