Every kind of shipment device 20,20a, 20b are made by the materials such as plastics with suitable flexibility, elasticity and ductibility.The most handy low-density polyethylene manufacturing shipment device 20,20a and 20b, like this, shipment device 20,20a, 20b just can be tightened in container 22 and fit with the sidewall 24 of container 22.Can for example use the disclosed machine of US Patent NO.4250682 of Braun by known method, perhaps the disclosed machine of US Patent NO.3204386 of Creed etc. will load and transport device 20,20a, 20b are applied to container 22.
In the time of in container 22 is fixed on the packing of loading and transporting device 20,20a, 20b formation, proper alignment becomes two rows.Shown in the shipment device 20 of first embodiment, every row has 3 bottles.Shipment device 20a, the then every row of 20b have 4 bottles.Must understand that the container of guiding and supporting any number with shipment device 20,20a, 20b is all handy equally.
Below the overall structure of first embodiment of special explanation shipment device 20 shown in Figure 1.This shipment device 20 has the container engagement portion of being made up of a plurality of rings or garter spring 34 and divides 30,32, and each garter spring 34 has an inner edge 36, an outside 38 and two sides 40,42 that the inner edge 36 of each garter spring 34 is connected with the outside 38 of same garter spring 34.The side of adjacent garter spring 34 links together, and like this, along the length direction of shipment device 20, the outside 38 of garter spring 34 is continuously.
As mentioned below, garter spring 34 links to each other by a seam that is parallel to its inner edge or connecting bridge 44 or links together.Garter spring 34 constitutes a plurality of shaping holes 46, in order to fixed container 22 firmly, sees Fig. 3.For above-mentioned reasons, the outside 48 of each hole 46 is all passed through copying a little.
It is 30,32 freely overhanging from connecting bridge 44 that container engagement portion is divided.When shipment device 20 was loaded onto container 22, connecting bridge 44 divided 30,32 plane perpendicular to container engagement portion usually and protrudes.
Between the inner edge 36 of each garter spring 34, squeeze out for example plastics (preferably low-density polyethylene material) of or the ductile elastomeric material of one deck, then, divide 30,32 inner edge 36 with container engagement portion and the plastic sheet fusing that is squeezed into and merging with known method (preferably with the thin layer heat-sealing and the method for melting solder together), to form a solid whole fused portion, like this, just made connecting bridge 44.Divided the otch 50 that forms hole between 30,32 to disconnect by container engagement portion on its length direction in this connecting bridge 44.
Preferably adopt the method that two independent plastic flagstones are bonded together at connecting bridge 44 to make shipment device 20.Yet, adopt a monoblock plastic flagstone folded in half, with the thin layer of plastics or other material the material seam is formed connecting bridge 44 then together and make the method for shipment device 20 and also belong to scope of the present invention.
Shipment device 20 has a handle portion 52 that protrudes upward from its connecting bridge 44, and this handle 52 has two lateral parts that formed by the plate of two manufacturing shipment devices 20.Along the top of handle portion 52, between its side, make a joint 54 with heat sealing method or extruded plastic thin-layer method, separate with the side that stops handle portion 52, thereby make the user be easy to catch handle portion 52.In addition, shipping unit 20 also can be made into and is not with handle.
The overall structure of second embodiment of shipment device 20a shown in Figure 2 is described now, and shipment device 20a is made by the blank or the thin plate of a general planar, and it has the container engagement portion of being made up of a plurality of ring-shaped articles or garter spring 34a respectively and divides 30a, 32a.Each garter spring 34a has an inner edge 36a, an outside 38a and two side 40a, 42a, and this side links to each other the inner edge 36a of each garter spring 34a with the outside 38a of same garter spring 34a.The inner edge of adjacent garter spring 34a integrally links together.The side of adjacent garter spring 34a integrally links together, and like this, the outside 38a of garter spring 34a is continuously on the length direction of edge shipment device 20a.
Garter spring 34a constitutes a plurality of shaping hole 46a, so that container is securely fixed in it.Therefore the outside 48a of above-mentioned each hole 46a all passes through slight copying.The whole inner edge 36a that links is divided the otch 50a that forms hole between 30a, the 32a to disconnect by container engagement portion.The user puts in hole 50a with its finger, just can easily pick up packing.Characteristic of the present invention is described now.Each shipping unit 20,20a have later-model tear tape 58,58a.In order to clearly demonstrate these tear tapes, tear tape of the present invention is described below with reference to the embodiment of composite packaging device shown in Figure 1 or shipping unit.Note that tear tape 58 among first embodiment and the difference between the tear tape 58a among second embodiment.
In view of the foregoing, the continuous outside 38 that will be positioned at the garter spring 34 on shipping unit 20 each side by a thin and straight perforated lines 60 is separated into first 56 and second portion 58.This second portion 58 constitutes the tear tape along the continuous outside 48 of garter spring 34 in each side of combination container 22.Every tear tape 58 all is made of the entity part of the continuous outside 48 of garter spring 34.In case tear tape 58 separates with the remainder of shipment device 20, just from the shipment device, take out container 22 apace easily.
The perforated lines 60 that tear tape or second portion 58 separate with first 56 can be made up of a series of points that separate, as shown in Figure 4, perhaps, also can form by a series of short-terms that separate.Part continuously by the shipment device is separated from each other each point on the perforated lines 60.Though perforated lines 60 is convenient to tear and remove the tear tape 58 of shipment device 20 each side, it also reduces the globality of packing indistinctively.Also it is contemplated that with a kind of bead material of extruding without perforated lines.Perforated lines 60 can adopt suitable known method to form.
Every perforated lines 60 originates in the end 62 of shipment device 20, preferably ends at the point 64 within shipment device 20 peripheries, so that tear tape 56 is linked with the other parts of shipment device 20 are whole at point 64.As shown in figures 1 and 3, the tear tape 58 that is used for loading and transporting first embodiment of device 20 all originates in the mutually same end on the shipment device 20.The tear tape 58a that is used for second embodiment of shipment device 20a shown in Figure 2 then originates in the opposite end of shipment device 20a.Though accompanying drawing shows above-mentioned this structure, first embodiment that loads and transports device also can adopt the perforated lines 60 that originates in opposite end, and second embodiment of shipment device 20a also can adopt the perforated lines 60a that originates in mutually same end.
When perforated lines 60 is torn each bar tear tape 58, tear tape still links to each other at point 64 with the shipment device, and can not be separated into the completely separated portions that can abandon from the remainder that loads and transports device 20.Therefore, every perforated lines 60 ends at the point 64 that inwardly separates on the end with last hole that is positioned at conveyer 20 each side.
Perforated lines 60 has been arranged, and the user just can tear tear tape 58 and it is separated with adjacent first 56.As shown in Figure 3, in case when every tear tape separates with the first 56 that links to each other, just stay a very narrow continuous material bar that is formed by above-mentioned first 56, it can not tear or break because of the tear tape 58 of tearing.Owing to had fillet 56 that container 22 is stayed in the packaged combination, be separated from each other and be unlikely.When the user unpacks 23 the time, above-mentioned continuous fillet can prevent that container 22 from dropping out out of control.Tear tape 58 is torn from the remainder of shipment device 20 can toothed edge along fillet 56 length directions of formation.As shown in Figure 4, above-mentioned first 56 forms fillets in tear tape 58 back of tearing width is the distance between consecutive points or the line on the perforated lines 60, removes overcoming of tear tape 58 and may not can be imported in the hole 46 of shipment device prematurely so that make.
In order from shipment device 20, to take out container 22, can stave fillet 56 selectively, because conveyer 20 is to settle along the sidewall 24 of each bottle 22, so by prizing bottle 22 facing to its adjacent bottles 22, stave bottle 22 is fixed on residue fillet 56 in the packaged combination, fillet 56 just can have to be selected and easily tears.
Because the outside 46 of the hole 36 on the shipment device 20 is through slight copying, and each tear tape all is rectilinear, this has just formed the zone 57 that a width in the remaining fillet 56 obviously reduces, and cause stress concentration and weak link, stave fillet 56 and take out container 22 subsequently with convenient.And, because every perforated lines ends at point 64 places of the end that inwardly separates rearmost hole 46, so, according to varying in size of the power of tearing tear tape 58, last tearing force may be imported into above-mentioned hole 46 and unclamp container 22 in this hole, and meanwhile, other all holes are still being fixed container 22.
The 3rd embodiment of shipment device 20b shown in Figure 5 is described now.In form, therefore the structural similitude of the structure of the 3rd embodiment of shipment device 20b and second embodiment of shipment device 20a, is illustrated with the difference of the 3rd embodiment of shipment device 20b at this second embodiment that only just loads and transports device 20a.
Outside 38b along a container engagement portion branch (dividing 32b to illustrate with container engagement portion among the figure) integrally makes a handle portion 70, and this handle 70 is actually the part of tear tape 58b.Handle portion 70 has connecting bridge 72,74, and partial sum grip 75 integral body of they and tear tape 58 ragged edges are made, and grip 75 and couples together 72 and 74 integral body between connecting bridge 72 and 74.Pass handle portion 70 and make hole 77.The user passes hole 77 with its finger, catches intermediate grip portion 75, just can guide and support this container package.When the user guided and supported packing, container was sidelong.
Tear tape or second portion 58b and handle portion 70 can be formed by a series of spaced-apart a single points with the perforated lines 60b that the 56b of first separates, perhaps, form by a series of single short-term or slits that separate.The successive part that each point of perforated lines 60b or slit are loaded and transported device 20b is spaced-apart.
Every perforated lines 60b originates in the end 62b that loads and transports on the device 20b, and ends at a 64b.Point 64b is positioned within the shipment device 20b periphery, and near the last hole 64b of shipment device 20b one side " inner edge, this hole 46b " is positioned at a side relative with perforated lines 60b origination side.As seen from the figure, perforated lines 60b extend through hole 64b " about 1/4 place of width.Must understand that perforated lines can also end at a bit than farther place shown in the figure, as long as perforated lines 60b ends in the periphery of shipment device 20b.
As shown in the figure, in the side of shipment device 20b, at terminal point 64b and the rearmost hole 64b of perforated lines 60b " between a pair of slit 76 is set; like this; when tearing tear tape 58b, tearing force is just inwardly led into last hole 64b ", thus unclamp the container that is fixed therein.Slit 76 is parallel to perforated lines 60b, and staggers mutually.Slit 76 is spaced-apart by the continuous part of shipment device 20b, and terminal point and the hole 46b with perforated lines 60b " separates again.Also can adopt the slit more than two, slit 76 forms by suitable method.
In addition, as shown in the figure, at the opposite side of shipment device 20b, terminal point 64b and rearmost hole 64B at perforated lines 60b " between be provided with a mono-slit 81, like this, when tearing tear tape 58b; tearing force is inwardly led into rearmost hole 64b ", thus the container that is fixed therein unclamped.Slit 81 is a low-angle with respect to perforated lines 60b, and " is separated by the terminal point and the hole 46b of the continuous part on the shipment device 20b with it and perforated lines 60b.Available suitable method is made slit 81.Though two slits 76 are positioned at a side of loading and transporting device shown in the figure, and slit 81 is positioned at the opposite side of shipment device 20b, but must understand, two slits 76 also can be arranged on the both sides of shipment device 20b, perhaps, the R-joining 81 of wall scroll also can be arranged on the both sides of shipment device 20b.
As shown in Figure 5, load and transport the tear tape of each side of device 20b, all start from loading and transporting the mutually same end of device 20.Though the structure among the figure is so, the same with second embodiment of shipment device 20a, the perforated lines 60b of shipment device 20b also can start from opposite end.
After the tear tape 58b that tears, the 56b of first forms fillet, and its width is gone up distance between any adjacent or line at 2 greater than perforated lines 60b.On the length direction of whole perforated lines 60b, the point on the perforated lines among the 3rd embodiment of shipment device 20b, draw etc. is not equally spaced.As shown in Figure 5, in the zone 80 (figure illustrates with ellipse) that is arranged in each connecting bridge 72,74 bottom, the point among the perforated lines 60b, the spacing between drawing etc. are gone up the point at other position, spacing between drawing etc. greater than perforated lines 60b.Remaining point on the perforated lines, the spacing of drawing etc. (outside the zone 80) are closeer.Other point on point in the zone 80 on the perforated lines, the gap ratio perforated lines of drawing etc., the spacing of drawing etc. are bigger, are in order to make handle portion 70 and tear tape 58b and first 56b connection have structural integrity.Like this, in the packing process of being guided and supported, just can sustain the stress that makes progress during carrying handle part 70 produced of user with respect to the packing other parts.This has just prevented or has reduced at least owing to these stress make perforated lines in zone 80 possibilities of tearing too early.Yet, the point of zone in 80, draw etc. also too not far away at interval so that not can not tear open perforated lines 60b, as long as zone 80 than other place of perforated lines difficulty tear.In addition, regional 80 mid points, the spacing between drawing etc. also should be less than the width of the 56b of first.
Shape from the initiating terminal of perforated lines 60b hole 46b far away, 46b 〃 is similar to the shape shown in second embodiment.Specifically, each hole 46b has an inner edge 47b, an outside 48b and two side 49b, and inner edge 47b and side 49b are linearly substantially.Inner edge 47b is connected by round edge 51b with each side 49b.The outside 48b of each hole 46b is arcuation through slight copying.The outside 48b of the band circular arc that copying is crossed is connected with each side 49b by round edge 53b.Outside 48b is with respect to the other parts projection of hole 46b, and like this, the distance at the middle part of arc between the outside of hole 46b and the perforated lines 60b is the shortest.
In the present embodiment of shipment device 20b, the shape of the hole 46b ＇ of the most close perforated lines 60b initial point is compared to some extent with other hole 46b, the 46b 〃 of shipment device 20b and is revised.Specifically, in the side of the hole 46b of the most close perforated lines 60b initial point ＇, the outside 48b ＇ of first hole 46b ＇ and the distance between the perforated lines 60b are widened to some extent and are tapered, to be increased in the area between hole 46b ' and the perforated lines 60b.The shape of its each limit 47b ＇, 49b ＇, 51b ＇ and 53b ＇ respectively with other hole 46b, the 46b of shipment device 20b " the shape of corresponding each limit 47b, 49b, 51b and 53b identical.Outside 48b ＇ revises to cross, have an arc limit part 55b ＇ and a straight portion 57b ＇; first end of arc limit part 55b ＇ be connected apart from perforated lines 60b initiating terminal round edge 53 ＇ farthest; and the terminal point of its second end and straight portion 57b ' is connected at point 83, and this point 83 preferably is positioned at half the place above hole 46b ＇.The outer back gauge perforated lines 60b that point 83 has also been determined hole 46b ＇ apart from minimum a bit.The other end of straight portion 57b ＇ is connected with the round edge 53b ＇ of the starting point of close perforated lines 60b.The arc limit part 55b ＇ of outside 48b ＇ is projection normally, makes the arc limit part 55b ＇ of outside 48b ＇ of hole 46b ＇ and the distance between the perforated lines 60b reduce gradually to second end of arc limit part 55b ＇ from first end of arc limit part 55b ＇.Like this, the straight portion 57b ＇ of the outside 48b ＇ of hole 46b ＇ and the distance between the perforated lines 60b are constantly to increase with arm of angle 53b ＇ bonded assembly one end at the top of close perforated lines 60b to straight portion 57b ＇ from straight portion 57b ＇ and arc limit part 55b ＇ bonded assembly one end.This has eliminated or has lowered at least the possibility of the accidental damage first hole 46b ＇ when beginning to tear tear tape 58b with regard to the material width that has increased 82 places.
As shown in the figure, in the side of shipment device 20b, the starting point of perforated lines 60b is linearly aimed at the remainder of perforated lines, so that make whole piece perforated lines 60b become straight line.But as shown in the figure, in the opposite side of shipment device 20b, the start-up portion 85 of the perforated lines 60b adjacent with the first hole 46b ＇ can be with respect to other straight line portion of perforated lines 60b outward-dipping about 5 ° of angles, outside towards shipment device 20b.As shown in the figure, the start-up portion 85 of perforated lines 60b is a series of slits that separate, and still, must understand that the start-up portion 85 of above-mentioned perforated lines 60b also can be a series of points that separate the same with the other parts of perforated lines 60b.The inclination start-up portion 85 of perforated lines 60b and the other parts of perforated lines 60b intersect at the point 83 fwd points 87 on the hole 46b ＇.In other words, 87 is nearer apart from the end 62b of shipment device 20b than point 83.Must understand that if necessary, in the both sides of shipment device, the start-up portion of perforated lines 60b can be all be in line with the remainder of perforated lines 60b, perhaps, all makes bevelled perforated lines start-up portion 85 in the both sides of shipment device 20b.
When tearing each bar tear tape 58b along perforated lines 60b, the slit 76 that is positioned at perforated lines 60b terminal point inwardly imports hole 46b with tearing force ", to unclamp the container that is fixed among last hole 46b 〃.The terminal point of tear tape 58b still links to each other with shipment device 20b at a 64b place, promptly links to each other with the other parts of the outside 38b of shipment device 20b, and can not separate with the other parts of loading and transporting device 20b and become independent discardable part.When tearing with handle portion 70 tear tapes made in one piece, handle portion 70 is torn with tear tape 58b.
