CZ2001940A3 - Package unit of packaged product of mineral wool - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a packaging unit (1) for a mineral-wool product having a wrapping made of sheeting material, paper or the like, with a carrying aid which is arranged on the outside of the packaging unit and beneath which the user can grip. According to the invention, the carrying aid used is a strip (4; 4') which is connected to the outside of the wrapping (3) by adhesive bonding or sealing, the connection being interrupted in at least one carrying region (41; 41') beneath which the user can grip. In this case, the carrying region may butt likewise tightly against the outside of the mineral-wool product, with the result that there are no overhanging parts. Nevertheless, the user can then utilize the elasticity of the mineral wool to grip easily beneath said carrying region. This makes it easy for the user to lift and carry the packaging unit (1).

Description

Packing unit of packaged mineral wool product

Technical field

The invention relates to a package unit of a packaged mineral wool product comprising a wrapper of wrapping material, paper or the like, in the form of a coil or stacked plate assembly, with a carrier means disposed on the outside of the package unit which the user can undercut for grip.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The commercially available parcel units of packaged mineral wool products are usually bulky, so that they carry manual transmission problems. This is usually the case when the bale units have to be wrapped and gripped using both hands to avoid a situation in which the bale units slip off when carried, or when the user has to grasp the flexible liner with both hands to be able to carry the mineral product to hold the waves, although this requires increased gripping force with the fingers and can cause damage to the wrapper of the wrapper. In particular, when multiple package units are transferred one by one, this results in relatively strenuous work for the user, particularly when In addition, such bale units have a considerable weight, for example more than 15 kg, making them more impractical to carry.

For this purpose, a package unit has already been proposed in EP 0 287 177 A1, in which a shrinkable film is used for packaging a mineral wool roll product,

The lamp itself is provided with fastening strips to prevent unwinding. The carrying aid here is formed by a carrying strap that is tensioned axially around the bale unit. This means that the carrier strap is not attached to the bale unit so that the user can grab it, grasp it on all sides and carry the bale unit.

However, such a carrier strip has the disadvantage that the package unit can slip out of it, so that it is damaged. In addition, some additional work is required to reload the bale unit into the surrounding grip of the carrier tape. This problem is particularly pronounced when the support strip is not grasped at the center of gravity of the package unit. Uneven load distribution then results in different forces being introduced into the carrier tape on both sides of the user's hand, so that the area of the carrier tape that is exposed to less load can be released from the bale unit. This known transfer aid thus requires careful handling by the user and is prone to failure. Under these circumstances, it is therefore difficult and time consuming to transport multiple parcel units one at a time. Thus, this prior art solution has not found application in practice, in particular also because such carrier tapes are too expensive and can also easily get caught in obstacles.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a package unit of a mineral wool product having an economically efficient carrier that is easy to handle so that the user can carry the mineral wool product easily and without any particular instructions.

3. Summary of the Invention

This object is achieved by a package unit of a packaged mineral wool product comprising a wrapper of wrapping material such as foil, paper or the like, in particular in the form of a coil or stacked plate assembly, with a carrier means disposed on the outside of the package unit. a grip, which is based on the use of a strip attached to the outside of the package by gluing or other sealing, wherein the connection is broken in at least one carrying region which the user can undercut for gripping.

Thus, the bale unit of the invention can be easily held reliably by the user to carry it by hand to the desired destination. For this purpose, the at least one support area can be arranged specifically at a particularly suitable point, with the result that a situation in which the user grasps the bale unit at a point which is particularly unfavorable in terms of weight distribution is reliably avoided. This simplifies handling and greatly reduces physical strain.

Furthermore, this means that it is for the first time possible to carry bulky and bulky and / or relatively heavy parcel units in hand with little effort and without using additional aids. The use of a carrier tape on the outside of the package provides considerable advantages in that it is not possible to slip or even slip the package unit in the carrier. It is thus possible, for example, for a large-volume bale unit which, due to its dimensions, cannot be gripped straight from above, to be reliably gripped from one side without the risk of slipping.

Thus, the amount of care to be taken in the carrying process using the invention is considerably less than that of the prior art, without increasing the risk of damage to the mineral wool product by improper handling. This allows considerably more parcel units to be transferred in a given period of time when using the invention than in the prior art.

Furthermore, it is advantageous that the package unit according to the invention can be easily transferred by hanging on the arm, since the carrying region allows a reliable fixing.

Furthermore, the carrier according to the invention is particularly suitable for packaging of mass-produced units, since according to the invention substantial portions of the tape are fixed to the bale unit by gluing or other tight attachment, with the result that the overhanging parts are eliminated and the carrier portion is very low, and the attachment process of the carrier can be automated.

In particular, the package unit according to the invention is characterized in that it can be manufactured easily and reliably and is easy to handle and can easily be lifted and carried by hand and can be easily handled at the destination.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention may be inferred from the features of the dependent claims.

Since the carrier tape is provided on one

-5the adhesive, wherein at least one support area is provided with an adhesive cover, the strip adheres over its surface to the packaging material, with the result that when subjected to wear during loading, forces are applied evenly to the packaging material without damaging it, ie in uncoated areas, wherein the adhesive interacts with the packaging material of the package unit to provide a reliable connection and thus a uniform distribution of its load. If the ends of the tape are connected to one another overlapping each other instead of being attached to the packaging material, then the tape forms a closed strap and hence a self-strength unit. If the support area is provided with a cover at the desired points, it is possible for the cover to additionally serve as a support strip in this area. This greatly improves handling of the bale unit, since the wear area thus provides a better grip on the hand, which the user undermines it.

Furthermore, it is advantageous if the cover is of such rigidity that, in particular during wearing, there is substantially no undesirable narrowing of the strip in the carrying region by its lateral contraction or folding. This allows the bale unit to be conveniently gripped in the carrier region, as the load is evenly distributed over substantially the entire length of the band under which the hand is undercut, and therefore over a large area of the hand, instead of concentrating into one or more folds of the carrier region. can be carried even more conveniently.

If the at least one support region has a length of 10 to 30 cm, preferably 20 cm, and a width of 2 to 8 cm, preferably 3 cm, the user's hand can have a comfortable grip. The width of the carrier region is chosen here to occupy a good position. ·· zde dobrou zde dobrou zde zde zde zde zde zde zde zde zde zde zde zde zde · · · · · · · · · · · · ·

-6in hand.

Alternatively, the at least one wear area may be of such length that it may be gripped in the manner of a sports bag or bag, or at least two wear areas may be of such length that they can be gripped as a backpack. It is then possible for the bale unit to be carried on its back, which further facilitates its carrying. Furthermore, it makes it possible to avoid that the transmitted parcel unit interferes with the user's view in the transmission path. A further advantage of these arrangements is that both of the user's hands remain free, as a result of which he can move more safely in areas that are relatively difficult to move such as on land, scaffolding, ladders, etc.

It is particularly advantageous if the package unit has two diametrically arranged carrier areas, since it is then possible for the user to grasp the carrier area that is most suitable for him, without the need for the package unit to rotate to a greater extent. Furthermore, it is also possible for two people to carry the package unit, of which one worker can grasp one carrying area. In the arrangement of the carrying areas for carrying in a backpack-like manner, the formation of two carrying areas in each case allows the bale unit to be carried on the user's back relatively reliably while being held on both sides.

It is further advantageous if the strip is formed as more or less one piece, i.e. so that it circulates the package unit and its ends overlap each other. This greatly facilitates the preparation and attachment of the carrier tape to the bale unit,

-Ί Because it allows automation in mass production.

Since, in use, at least one carrier area is positioned over or symmetrically with the center of gravity of the bale unit, the task of carrying the bale unit is further simplified. In particular, uneven load distribution can be avoided and the user does not have to strive to maintain balance.

Further, if the package unit is designed such that the carrier is in the form of a tape attached to the outside of the package by gluing or other fusible connection, and the connection is broken in at least one carrier area which preferably also closely fits to the outside of the package but below which the user the special material properties of the mineral wool product, in particular its elasticity, can be particularly advantageously exploited. According to the invention, it is found that in this case, the elasticity of the mineral wool allows the region of the tape that is not adhered to abut the exterior of the article when the article is not in use. As a result, there is no attachment point at which the parcel unit could become trapped when it is manufactured or transferred. At the same time, however, the elasticity of the mineral wool allows the user to undercut the wear area without the need to exert any significant force for this purpose and without compromising wearing comfort. Furthermore, it is also possible to realize the features of the dependent claims on this embodiment corresponding to claim 12.

The invention is explained in more detail in the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: FIG

Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a first embodiment of a bale unit according to the invention, with a carrier strip with overlapping ends wrapped across the main axis; Fig. 2 a second embodiment of a bale unit according to the invention with a carrier belt circulating in the main axis direction; 3 another embodiment of a bale unit according to the invention, with a carrier strip extending in the direction of the main axis and having a plurality of supporting regions, FIG. 4 another embodiment of the bale unit according to the invention with a carrier band arranged across the main axis; 6, another embodiment of a bale unit according to the invention, with a bone-shaped support band for forming a single support region, and FIG. 7 another embodiment of a bale unit according to the invention in which two support regions are formed, They can be gripped in the manner of a backpack.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of a package unit 1. It comprises a mineral wool roll 2 surrounded by a wrapper 3 made of a plastic film material. A carrier strip 4 surrounding the coil 2 is further deposited over the package 4. Said strip is preferably made of polypropylene and has a thickness of 80 μιη. However, other plastics, such as polyethylene or polyester, are also suitable for tapes, and it is possible that the thickness of the sheet material is from 50 to 100 μπι.

In this case, the wear strip 4 is intended as a type of one-sided adhesive tape surrounding the wrapping 2 ^{of the} foil material 3 on the roll 2 so that the ends of the wear strip 4 overlap one another. The overlapping arrangement also has material benefits that allow subsequent attachments.

The carrier tape was automated. In addition, the carrier strip 4 is disposed in the middle of the length of the coil 2, resulting in the center of gravity of the package unit being in the area surrounded by the carrier strip 4. The adhesive used here is acrylate, and rubber would also be suitable for this purpose. If the carrier tape is attached to the foil material of the packaging by gluing, the adhesive must first be activated by heating.

In two diametrically opposed points on the adhesive side of the tape backing 4 is not specifically shown housing having a length of 20 cm and a width of 3 cm, corresponding nosícímu strip 4, so that the strip has two mutually opposite carrying regions 41 which are not glued to the wrapper ^of sheet material 2 . Only one of the carrier regions 41 is visible in FIG. Thus, it is possible for the user to grasp the carrier portion and carry the package unit 1 with one hand, or it must rotate the package unit briefly to reach the other carrier portion. 1 and also in the rest of the figures, the support region 41 is shown to protrude to an exaggerated extent for the sake of clarity. In these embodiments, the wear regions abut, in fact, against the outer side of the package 2 or against the mineral wool product.

The cover (not shown here in detail) on the wear area 41 of the wear strap 4 can also be designed, for example, as a foam strap that improves the carrying comfort. With regard to the stability and / or stiffness of the carrier tape 4 in this region, on the other hand, the stability and / or stiffness can be reinforced with a PE tape having a thickness of 50 to 60 μιη used as a cover. Such a cover may further have a company logo printed thereon.

1, i.e. when the bale unit is not carried, the carrier strip 4, due to the flexibility of the coil material, abuts the wrapping material 3 by the carrier regions 41 so that it practically does not protrude therefrom, thus forming no attachment or gripping surface, which would cause problems in production or other handling situations.

The carrier strip 4 is attached to the wrapper 3 of foil material or paper so as to be suitable for mass production, more particularly in particular for the coil 2 formed by the so-called winding machine, and is then provided with the wrapper 3. Thereafter, the roll 2 is laid, and the tape carrier 4 is wound around its center such that both ends of the wear tape overlap each other. Alternatively, it is also possible for the coil 2 to be rotated such that the support strip around it is circumferentially secured.

Fig. 2 shows another embodiment of a bale unit

In this embodiment, the carrier strip 4 is mounted axially in the longitudinal direction of the roll 2 and surrounds the package unit 1 along its entire length. Also in this embodiment, an area carrier is formed on both sides of the roll 2 by covering the adhesive area.

3 shows a further embodiment in which the carrier tape 4 is formed on only one longitudinal side of the package unit 1 and has three carrier regions 41 formed by covering the adhesive layer. The corresponding tape carrier 4 can also be formed on the opposite side of the coil.

φ φ - 11—

According to the embodiment of FIG. 4, the carrier tape 4 is formed only in a partial region of the circumference of the roll 2. In this case, the adhesive portion of the tape 4 is designed to form the carrier area 41 of the desired width and allow reliable load absorption.

5 shows a further embodiment of the bale unit 1 on which the carrier strip 4 is supported over the end side of the coil 2. This embodiment is advantageous especially when the bale unit 1 is to be gripped preferentially on one end side.

According to FIG. 6, it is also possible to provide a single support region in the direction of the major axis of the coil 2, in which case the support means 4 is in the form of a bone in order to achieve a relatively large area for introducing forces into the packaging. Material 3.

7 shows another embodiment of a package unit 1 according to the invention. The carrier portion used herein is designed as a loop 4 'arranged to substantially circulate around the package unit 1 and adhered to the packaging material 2 in this region. In contrast to the other embodiments, two loop carrier regions 41' are formed which have a length such that the package unit can be carried as a backpack or as a travel bag for hanging over the shoulder.

The invention allows further implementation of its idea in addition to the embodiments described above. It is not only suitable for use with coil 2, but can also be used for stacking assemblies • ·

-12 plates, packed using plastic or paper and therefore other bulky items. Further, it is not limited to the use for mineral wool products, so that it is also possible to carry, for example, plastic products and the like using the invention.

The packaging unit 1 may be formed from two coils, so that in this case, the carrier part 41 or 41, then ¹ is preferably mounted so that it abuts through the center of gravity of the packaging unit as a whole or at least symmetrically thereto.

Furthermore, it is also possible to arrange a plurality of support means according to the invention, in particular at evenly spaced from the center of gravity, so that in the case of a pair of coils it is possible to grip with both hands with a symmetrical distribution of weight.

Furthermore, it is also possible to form the wear strap 4, 4 'as a textile strap. It is also possible for such strips 4, 4 'to be attached to the film wrapping material 2 by thermal bonding or by means of an adhesive which is applied separately at the desired points. It is then possible to omit the cover as a means for forming the wear regions.

It may be a carrier means 4, 4 'formed of one piece or may be formed by arranging a plurality of individual strips forming the carrying regions 41, 41 of ^{the first}

As can be seen from the various embodiments, it is possible for the number and arrangement of the support regions to be selected as needed and arranged according to the respective requirements.

The effective length of the support region can be made according to the invention

-13φ · ·· ··, taking into account the relevant field of application, such as whether the bale unit is gripped with one hand or two hands.

Further the carrier may be an area 41, 41 of ^one color, so that it can be immediately recognized.

In a variation of the embodiment of Figure 7 may be a support means is designed as a carrier tape with a single carrying region 41 ^1, which is only hung over one shoulder, a sports bag or sack.

The invention thus provides a package unit 1 having a strip 4, 4 'attached as a carrier to the packaging material 3 so as to form, at certain points or around the circumference, wear regions 41 or 41' that are not attached to the packaging material 2. to use the hand or arm to grip these carrier regions 41, 41 * so that the bale unit can be easily lifted and carried.
