The carrying aid is an integral component part of the packing material, and the material has means (9) for the forming of the carrying aids and these may be incisions, stampings, perforations and tear lines or tear threads. The packing material is wound up into a film roll with an adhesive layer orientated towards the inside, whereby on the provided carrying points the material is free of adhesive points or has a cover. An Independent claim is included for a web-form packing material for encasing a packing unit.

Description

The invention relates to a packaging unit for an insulation product Mineral wool as a roll or plate pack according to the preamble of claim 1, the is surrounded with packaging material made of film, paper or the like, whereby on the At least one carrying aid is arranged on the outside of the packaging material The user can reach under. The invention further relates to a web-shaped packaging material for wrapping the packaging unit according to Preamble of claim 14.

To protect against environmental influences and for transport Insulation products made of mineral wool, especially wound in rolls Insulation sheeting or packages stacked up into sheets, a thin film-like one Packaging that covers the product from almost all sides and a smooth Forms surface with little grip for the user. Such Commercially available packaging units have dimensions that are difficult to handle one arm can be gripped and are therefore very bulky and bulky. A transport individual packaging units, preferably by hand, are therefore not ergonomic optimal.

DE 299 13 624 U1 shows a packaging unit for a roll Wrapped mineral wool product with a baby carrier attached to the outside of the Packaging unit is arranged, and reaching under by a user allows. A strip serves as a carrying aid, which can be glued or sealed to the Outside of the sheath is connected, the connection in at least one provided for reaching under by the user is interrupted.

WO 99/38784 A1 shows a packaging unit for a roll-shaped one Mineral wool product. Two rolls are each made up of a sack Surround packaging material in which the two rolls are compressed and the open ends of the bag are directed towards each other, so that two roles are completely covered and form a stacking element. At the junctures of the Both roles have separation perforations for unpacking a single one  Role. The closed ends of a sack also have grip options Release the sack from the roll. Multiple double packs can also be combined into one Large packages can be summarized.

US 3,013,655 shows a packaging unit for a roll-shaped good. The Packing unit forms a cuboid body, which with a web-shaped Packaging material is completely wrapped. Longitudinally between overlapping Corners on the sides of the body is a baby carrier in the form of a longitudinal strip for Glued underneath, which is applied in advance on the packaging material.

The solutions known from the prior art have the disadvantage that that the baby carrier arranged and fastened to a packaging unit separately in an additional operation on the packaging unit or on the Packaging material must be applied. This creates an additional one Work process as well as additional material consumption and disposal costs. Such Carriers are also bad in their lateral fixation after attachment fixable. When layers and / or stacks of packaging units are formed a stack or a layer of a packaging unit thus formed by the attachment of baby carriers on the outside of the packaging unit is unstable.

The object of the invention is a packaging unit with a carrying aid, especially for hand transport, to indicate the disadvantages of the known Avoid orders.

The task is performed by the packaging unit according to the generic term of Claim 1 solved in that the baby carrier is an integral part of Packaging material is, and the material means for shaping the baby carriers having. The sheet-like packaging material for wrapping the Packaging unit according to the invention is characterized in that on the Surface of the web at the intended points of the baby carrier opening aids Forming baby carriers are arranged in the material.

The invention is based on the idea of a used one Prepare packaging material so that the baby carrier is an integral part of the  Packaging material is and not extra in an additional work or Manufacturing process must be applied.

The packaging materials according to the invention for insulation products can processed with conventional packaging machines. After the application the material forms a closed primary packaging for those in rolls or packages present insulation products. If necessary, a baby carrier for the A packaging aid prepared in this way can also be required for the packaging unit a baby carrier.

On the surface of a web-shaped packaging material are on the provided positions of the baby carrier opening aids for shaping the baby carrier in the Material arranged. This is a targeted positioning of the baby carriers on the intended places on the primary packaging possible. The integrated baby carrier can no longer slip. The connection is permanently firm and no longer detachable, like conventional adhesive or other types of connection between the Primary packaging and retrofitted handles.

Also in the formation of packaging units for the layer and The invention is particularly advantageously applicable for stack formation. Several Packaging units that are wrapped with the above-mentioned primary packaging are produced almost exclusively on a base (pallet) by the manufacturer stacked and with a first outer packaging - the so-called secondary packaging - combined into one or more layers. The layers are on top of each other stacked and with another outer packaging - the so-called tertiary packaging - wrapped in a so-called large container and ready for dispatch. On Large containers can contain up to 24 or 30 packaging units, their Dimensions are determined by the trade. By using the Packaging material as primary, secondary or tertiary packaging can be used the packaging unit without additional labor and production effort be provided and arranged for each element. The packaging material carries not significantly in the formation of layers and the formation of large containers, so that the stability when stacked into a large container is hardly affected. It  can continue to use the machines used for layering and stacking Come into play.

Also the packaging materials for the secondary and Tertiary packaging can be prepared beforehand with the integrated handles. The packaging units formed in this way can thus be used without additional effort Carrying handles can be provided, either by hand or with a Means of transport, such as a forklift, can be transported. So are not only easy to handle individual packages or rolls, but also individual layers or whole large containers.

In the packaging unit according to the invention, the Opening aids through suitable cuts, perforations and tear lines on the Outside of the packaging material formed as a strip in the Packaging material are arranged. The banding through interventions can either transversely to the web direction of the packaging material or in the web direction be arranged. Depending on the selected arrangement, the number and the distance and the length of the handle, which is variable in advance in the Packaging material can be applied by appropriate means of production can. To improve comfort, the strips can be shaped that a special carrying aid in the form of a bracket made of plastic or wood to the Stiffened or otherwise attached. The stripes or openings in the packaging material can also have a length such that two Carrying points, for example for the peripheral areas of the packaging unit are intended to have a length such that the product is shouldered, or as Backpack can be worn, which significantly improves comfort can be.

Various variations are possible for the arrangement of the handles can be determined in advance by the preparation of the packaging film. This concerns the execution of the insulation product as packages, in which the handles are provided either on one or both end faces of the package. The Foil material that is used as packaging material is used for this purpose Place stripes at the intended locations. When wrapping with the  Material only has to be taken care that these places at the desired Places to be arranged on the surface of the package.

In the case of roller arrangements of the insulation product, the enveloping is analogous Foil material depending on the position of the desired grip points on the surface of the To provide packaging material with the appropriate strips in advance.

The packaging material is advantageously in the form of a sheet on a roll wound. For the packaging of the product, the film can be unrolled be subtracted and cut according to the dimensions of the product and used for packaging purposes. Especially for the direct Wrapping the product in the primary packaging, it is further advantageous if the side of the film facing the product has an adhesive layer. The Packaging material is thus firmly attached to the product (roll or plate pack). Overlap points of the film web can easily be glued together or be welded. With the integrated handles, the packaging unit is advantageous not only very easy to handle, but several such Packaging units can be formed into layers with sufficient stability, or stacked with other packaging units.

The sheet-like material can be advantageous at the intended carrying points be free of glue spots to improve wearing comfort. These places can further than reinforcement with a cover made of paper, cardboard or similar material be covered. A particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention is if the packaging material has a tearable area. This area can be designed as a perforation line, as a cut or as a welded tear line be the openings at the places provided for the carrying points on the Packing unit marked.

The formation of carrying handles or integrated in the packaging material Handles for the packaging unit can also be advantageously implemented by that during the wrapping of the product between the insulation product and the Packaging material runs in a narrow band. On the for packaging provided machine, the belt can either be provided on the inside Carrying points come in with the prepared packaging material or it  is applied in advance on an adhesive point of the packaging material and together packed with this around the product. These places are thus covered from the inside. At the weld for the packaging material, the lanyard is automatically in fixed on its side. After opening the designated area, a user can with a carrying aid or a handle the tape from the packaging material pull out. The tape that is drawn in or glued in is advantageous around a thin plastic band that does not cover the surface of the packaging unit significantly dented and thus possible stackability with several Packaging units not negatively affected.

Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subclaims and the following description.

The invention is described below with reference to the drawings several embodiments explained.

FIGS. 1a and 1b show a packaging unit for a mineral wool product in the form of a roll.

FIGS. 2a and 2b show a packaging unit for a mineral wool product in the form of a stacked plurality of plates from the package.

FIGS. 3a and 3b show a further packaging unit for a mineral wool product in the form of a roll.

FIGS. 4a and 4b show the packaging unit of Fig. 3a and 3b, but in the type of plate packs.

Fig. 5a to 5h show further embodiments of the inventive packaging unit in the form of plate packs.

FIG. 6a to 6h show a similar arrangement as in Fig. 5a to 5f, however, in the nature of rollers.

Fig. 7a and 7b show a further variant of the packaging unit according to the invention.

An insulation product is manufactured by adding a binder to mineral wool, hardening it in a hardening furnace and then making it a continuous web with a width of approx. 1.20 m. The web 1 has a thickness of approximately 10 to 30 cm. For shipment either the web 1 are, depending on the requirements rolled up into a roll 2, as shown in FIG. 1a and FIG. 1b it can be seen, or from the path 1 individual panels 3 are cut, whereby a plurality of stacked plates form a package 4, as shown in Fig. 2a and 2b. The insulation product is then completely packed by special packaging machines, not shown, with a packaging material 5 on the longitudinal surfaces of the product. The side surfaces, however, both in the roll 2 and in the package 4 , however, are usually not completely covered by the packaging material. This packaging is referred to as primary packaging 6 , in contrast to other outer packaging which comprises individual layers or their stacking. The packaging material 5 consists of a web-shaped material made of a plastic film or a paper web. The material used has a corresponding elasticity, which has sufficient strength and elasticity both for compression of the unpacked material and for compression by the primary packaging. Such a film wrapper can usually be glued on one side, so that the film is cut to the required length and the packaging unit is self-adhesive surrounded by the material.

As can be seen from FIGS. 1a and 1b, the web 1 is rolled up into a roll 2 . Commercial rolls have a side length of approx. 1.20 m due to the web width and a diameter of approx. 0.4 m to 0.65 m. The finished rolled roll 2 is - as can also be seen from Fig. 1a - wrapped with a specially prepared packaging material 5 in the form of the primary packaging 6 . The packaging material 5 is delivered as a rolled-up film roll, is unwound and cut to the required length for the mineral wool product to be packaged. On the surface 7 of the packaging material 5 , parallel cuts 15 are arranged at regular intervals in the middle of the primary packaging 6 transversely to the web direction of the packaging material 5 , two parallel cuts 15 each forming a strip 9 . The strip 9 can be formed into a handle 8 after the wrapping of the roll 2 , with which a wrapped roll 2 can be transported either by hand or with a carrying device. The spacing of the strips 9 on the packaging material 5 from one another corresponds approximately to half the spacing of the circumference of the roll 2 of the insulating material, so that the roll 2 is provided with two opposite handles 8 . The strip 9 for the formation of the handles 8 is arranged in the middle and transversely to the web direction of the packaging material. The packaging unit can be formed into layers and stacked in further manufacturing processes, not shown, with other units packaged in this way, without the handle 8 integrated in the primary packaging negatively affecting the stability of the individual layers or that of the stacking units.

In the further description of the figures, the same components are included same functions same reference numerals.

FIG. 6a to 6h show further packing units, which correspond to Figs. 1a and 1b are formed from rollers 2, and are coated with a primary package 6 and different arrangements of grips 8 and their preparation have. The handles 8 are formed by strips 8 , by parallel cuts 15 ( Fig. 6a, Fig. 6b), by perforations 11 ( Fig. 6d, Fig. 6e) and by the arrangement of tear threads 13 on the surface 7 of the prepared packaging material 5 are formed. As an alternative to the strips 8 , pairs of openings 12 are provided in further representations ( FIGS. 6c and 6f). The pair spacing 12 of the individual openings can be formed into a handle, or a handle can be hung in a pair.

In the punching arrangement 14 of the strips in FIG. 6a, the strips 9 are not arranged in the middle but on the side edges 10 in the web direction. Each packaged roll 2 thus has two opposite handles 8 on the side edges 10 , which are arranged on one side, with which the roll 2 can be carried manually or with a carrying device. Fig. 6b has only a strip 9 transverse to the web 2. The representation thus corresponds to that in Fig. 1b.

FIG. 6d differs from FIG. 6a in that the strips 9 are not formed by cuts 15 but by perforations 11 . Further perforations are shown in FIG. 6e, in which the perforations 11 form a strip 9 in the middle of the roll 2 transverse to the web 2 . The formation of perforations has the advantage over the section formation according to FIGS. 6a and 6b that the longitudinal surfaces of the packaging unit are thus almost completely protected against weather influences such as moisture.

Improved protection against weather influences on the insulation material is achieved by the formation of the strips 9 shown in FIGS . 6g and 6h by means of a tear thread 13 . A thread 13 is welded in at the locations provided for the strips 9 in the packaging material 5 . By pulling this tear thread 13 , the strips 9 for the provided handle 9 are formed on the surfaces 7 of the packaging material. Figs. 6g has two opposite handles. 8 The tear threads 13 are each arranged on the side edges 10 of the roll 2 .

Fig. 6c and 6f show the formation of the handles 8 by the arrangement of pairs of openings 12 at a distance of the forming holding handle 8. These openings can be formed by punching, perforations or in the form of tears. The distance between the openings corresponds approximately to the distance between individual fingers of a human hand that the packaging unit can grip, or special carrying devices can be hung in the openings.

A further embodiment of the packaging unit as roll 2 is shown in FIGS . 3a and 3b. The packaging material 5 has punched-outs 14 on its side edges 10 , which have the shape of the handles 8 , as can be seen from FIG. 3a. After wrapping the primary packaging ( Fig. 3b), the handles 8 thus formed are bent up from the horizontal into the vertical and are available as a handle 8 ( Fig. 3b) for the transport of the roll 2 . If the punched-outs 14 are not used as a handle 8 , they can be attached laterally by adhesive films to the roll 2 provided with the primary packaging 6 . This enables the formation of layers and stacks of such packaging units without impairing their stability.

In the following, exemplary embodiments for packaging units are described which consist of individual panels 3 , which are stacked one above the other, form packages 4 , which are used, for example, for the insulation of house facades. The boards 3 have a length of about 1.25 m and a width of about 0.40 m to 1.20 m, depending on the intended use of the insulation board. For production, the mineral wool product present as an endless web 1 in production is cut into individual plates 3 and stacked one above the other.

In Fig. 2a 8 such plates 3 are stacked one above the other, which are wrapped in a web-shaped packaging material 5 . The packaging material 5 has on its surface 7 in the web direction at the side edges 10 pairs of openings 12 which are arranged on the packaging material 5 at regular intervals from one another. The spacing of the side face of a single packet 4 while the prepared packaging material 5 is separated across the web and wraps the package 4 with the material at the longitudinal surfaces. The distance between the pair of openings 12 on the packaging material 5 so that a packet is in each case arranged a pair of openings 12 on the side edges 10th These pairs of openings form finger openings for the fingers of a human hand and can therefore be used as handles 8 for the packaging unit or special handles can be attached in the opening pairs 12 .

Was the Fig. 4a and b shows a similar arrangement of a packaging unit as in the description of FIGS. 3a and 3b described above, however, in the packaging of a package. 4 The preparation of the packaging material 5 with punched-outs 14 on the side edges 10 of the packaging material 5 is shown . The punched holes are provided in the form of handles 8 which, after the package 4 has been wrapped, can be folded up from the horizontal into the vertical, as can be seen from FIG. 4b.

FIG. 5a to 5h show various arrangements of the handles 8 on the package packaging, and the preparation thereof, either as a strip 9 (Fig. 5a to 5f) or pairs of openings 12 for finger engagement, as shown in Figs. 5g and 5h visible. The streaking is, as already explained in the corresponding figure description of the roll packaging in the representations of FIG. 6, either by cuts 15 along the stiffeners that form the handle 8 ( FIG. 5a, FIG. 5d), by perforations 11 ( FIG. 5b, FIG. 5e) or by a tear thread 13 welded into the packaging material 5 ( FIG. 5c, FIG. 5f). The packaging shown essentially correspond to those in Figs. 6a to Fig. 6h previously described embodiments.

A further embodiment of an integrated carrying aid for an insulation product is shown in FIGS. 7a and 7b. The packaging material 5 wound up in a web shape has in the middle on its surface 7 a strip 9 which is arranged in the web direction and otherwise corresponds to an exemplary embodiment already described. The prepared packaging material 5 is provided as the primary packaging 6 for an insulation product wound up as a roll 2 . In the area of the handles 8 , a strip 16 covering the strips 9 runs in on the side provided for the inside of the packaging material 5 and supports the strips 9 . When the packaging material 5 is cut to size, the tape is cut off after a roll 2 has been wrapped around and is initially fixed by the primary packaging 6 through the adhesive edge of the packaging. By tearing the strips 9 on the primary packaging 6 , the incoming tape 16 is visible. By pulling out at the places where the strips 9 are arranged, the pulled-out band 16 can be shaped into a handle 8 .

The packaging unit according to the invention and that used for the unit Packaging material according to the invention was exemplified with a Primary packaging wrapped roll or a package described. The invention goes but beyond this application. Even with layers or stacks Mineral wool products from several rolls or packages and their packaging the invention is applicable. The handle described in the description of the figures is not only for manual hand transport as a handle, but also as Carrying device for a means of transport, such as a forklift or other hoists, usable.
