Abstract

The packaging has a sink (102) and a support (134), and a damper (174). The support has a multi-damper (188) that is included between two dampers (190, 194) and arranged at different heights (H, h). The dampers are arranged adjacent to each other.

Description

The The present invention relates to a package for a cargo, in particular a sink, being the packaging comprises at least one support body which is at least has a damping hump.

Such a package is for example from the EP 1 600 401 A1 known.

at the known transport packaging can be too large force at the outer end areas of the support body to Breakage of the cargo, in particular the sink, in the central area of the cargo to lead, where especially when rinsing often the weakest Location of the transported goods is located.

Of the present invention is based on the object, a packaging for a Transport goods, in particular a sink, the aforementioned To create kind, with which the introduction of impact forces certain positions of the cargo is even better damped.

These Task is in a packaging for a cargo with the Features of the preamble of claim 1 according to the invention thereby solved, that the support body at least a multi-level damping hump group having at least two damping bumps, their support surfaces on different heights lie.

By the use of an at least two-stage damping bump group instead of a single-stage one Damping bump is especially for smaller vertical impact loads, for example in case of small drop height (for example, at most approximately 30 cm), a particularly gentle damping achieved.

at low drop heights that is only the highest Damping bump the Damping bumps group deformed, so that the reaction force of the damping hump group in a first attenuation stage is deliberately reduced to those acting on the cargo personnel and thus the deflection and deflection of the cargo in this first damping level to diminish. Due to the lower deflection in the first damping stage the risk of breakage of the cargo, in particular a Sink out a composite material in the particularly fracture-prone middle region the sink considerably reduced.

First if the weak damping through the highest Damping bump the Damping bumps group is consumed alone and also the support surface of the next higher Dämpfungshöckers the Dämpfungshöckergruppe the impact stress is suspended, sets the second damping stage, which a tougher damping has, since now two attenuation humps of Damping bumps group must be deformed simultaneously.

If the damping hump group includes even more, lower attenuation humps, so can the damping hump group even more damping levels in each case, when the next higher damping bump of the damping bump group exposed to the impact stress becomes.

By the use of a multi-stage damping bump group becomes a damping Spring system created with a very even damping curve, by the particularly sensitive transport goods, such as composite rinsing, effective to be protected from breakage.

Under the height a support surface of a Dämpfungshöckers is the distance of the respective support surface of a body of the Supporting body too understand from which protrudes the damping hump.

The At least two damping bumps of the damping bump group can immediately adjacent to each other.

Especially can be provided that the damping bumps of Damp bump group one common damping cusp base exhibit.

at A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the damping humps of Damping bumps group Damping cusps have, which carry the support surfaces and separated by a gap. Through the gap between the damping bump tips ensures that the mutually separated by the gap damping hump from each other are decoupled so that the material of the higher damping bump is in a first Damping level below a shock load can deform without this by coupling to the material The lower attenuation bump prevented to be.

Preferably the gap extends from the support surfaces of the two through the gap separate damping bump tips starting at least to half the height of the lowest damping bump the Damping bumps group.

Thus, the damping hump group the effect of a plurality of temporally successive It is favorable if the distance between the damping bump tips of the damping bump group is smaller than the height of the highest damping bump of the damping bump group.

Especially Cheap it is when the distance between the damping bump tips of the damping bump group is smaller than the height the lowest damping bump the Damping bumps group.

Further it has to be cheap proved when the distance between the damping bump tips of the damping bump group smaller than the largest width the widest damping bump the Damping bumps group.

From It is an advantage if the distance between the damping bump tips of the damping bump group at the most approximately 15 cm, preferably at most approximately 5 cm, is.

at A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the support body at least a strip-shaped support element that covers itself in a longitudinal direction extends from a first end portion to a second end portion, wherein at least one multi-level damping hump group in one of the end regions of the support element is arranged. By the arrangement of a multi-stage damping hump group in an end region of the support element becomes the reaction force of the support member at a shock load in the first damping step specifically reduced in the end region of the support element, where the acting forces the longest Leverage with respect to the particularly fracture-prone mid-range of the packaged Have transport goods. A reduction of the damping effect in the first attenuation stage So is in the arrangement of multi-stage damping hump group in the end of the supporting member especially effective.

Under the end region of the support element is in this description and in the appended claims of Area of the support element to understand which is from a front end of the support element starting over 20% of the extension of the support element extends in its longitudinal direction.

If the support element at its front ends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the support element having extending end portions, so include the end portions of the support element in particular in each case one of these end sections.

Especially Cheap it is, if at least one multi-stage damping hump group in such a End portion of the support element is arranged.

Further is preferably provided that in each of the two end regions the strip-shaped support element at least one multi-level damping hump group is arranged.

Especially can at least at each of the two end portions of a strip-shaped support element a multi-level damping hump group be arranged.

Around an optimal damping curve the damping hump group To achieve, it is advantageous if the distance between the heights of Support surfaces of the Damping bump the Damping bumps group at least about 1 mm.

on the other hand it is beneficial if the distance between the heights of the Support surfaces of the damping humps of Damping bump group at most approximately 8 mm.

Preferably becomes the distance between the heights the support surfaces all the more chosen bigger, ever smaller the support surface of the higher Damping bump is and the lighter the cargo is.

at a preferred embodiment of the packaging according to the invention is provided that the support body at least a strip-shaped support element which extends in a longitudinal direction of the Transportguts, especially the sink, extends, and that the support element has at least one damping hump, in the longitudinal direction of the support element a larger extension as in a to the longitudinal direction of the support element and vertical to the vertical direction, Such a support element can in particular during transport of the cargo by means of a Transport roller conveyor with longitudinal a conveying direction the transport roller conveyor successive transport rollers serve to prevent the support element in the gap successive transport rollers device when the cargo with to the conveying direction the transport roller track parallel longitudinal direction over the Transport roller conveyor promoted becomes.

If the support body comprises at least one strip-shaped support element which extends in a longitudinal direction of the transport good, in particular a sink, the support element preferably has at least two mutually adjacent damping bumps, which are offset relative to one another transversely to the longitudinal direction. By this displacement of the damping bumps relative to each other achieved that these damping bumps, even if they are relatively narrow, do not fall into the space between two successive in a conveying direction rollers of a transport roller conveyor when the cargo is conveyed with the supporting elements disposed thereon on the conveyor roller conveyor, in such an orientation in that the transverse direction of the transported goods runs parallel to the conveying direction of the transport roller conveyor.

If additional provided for this purpose is that the two mutually adjacent damping bumps also along the longitudinal direction of the cargo are offset relative to each other, so this is achieved that the damping humps then too not in the space between two consecutive roles advised the transport roller conveyor when the cargo in one such alignment over the conveyor roller conveyor is conveyed, that the longitudinal direction of the transported goods parallel to the conveying direction the transport roller conveyor is aligned.

at a preferred embodiment of the packaging according to the invention is provided that the support body at least a receiving element with a receiving channel for an edge portion of the transported material, especially a sink, includes.

In In this case, it is preferable to have at least one multi-stage damping bump group arranged on the at least one receiving element.

Of the Supporting body of Packaging can basically one piece be educated.

at A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the support body at least a spacer element formed separately from the receiving element, which supports the receiving element, includes. Since the support body of Packaging in this case comprises two separate elements is achieved that impact stresses not undisturbed through the entire support body can spread like this one piece Supporting body of Case is, but rather by the transition from the one element to the other element of the support body on the contact area the elements provide additional damping Bumps.

at the same time the damping capacity of the support body is due of the additional Volume of the spacer element relative to a support body, which only the receiving element would include increased.

In In this case, it is preferable to have at least one multi-stage damping bump group arranged on the at least one spacer element.

Around the number of for needed the packaging, different elements as possible low, it is advantageous if the spacer element the support body the same Shape as the receiving element of the support body.

at A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the packaging comprises at least two support bodies, each at least a receiving element with a receiving channel for an edge portion of the transported material and at least one separately formed from the receiving element Spacer element, which is the respectively associated receiving element supported, include.

In In this case it is necessary to reduce the number of packaging required different elements of advantage when the receiving elements and the spacer elements of the at least two support bodies the same Have shape.

at a particularly preferred embodiment of the packaging the same two supporting bodies, which comprise a total of two receiving elements and two spacer elements, wherein all four of these elements have the same shape, so that all these elements within the packaging are interchanged can be and only one tool needed to make all these elements is.

Preferably are the at least two supporting bodies of Packaging on opposite sides Arranged edge portions of the cargo.

The Packaging preferably comprises an outer packaging whose interior receives the cargo and the at least one support body.

The Outer package may in particular be formed substantially cuboid be.

Further can be provided that the outer packaging comprises a folding box.

In the resting state of the package, ie in the absence of acting on the packaging shock loads, preferably only one of the support surfaces of the damping bumps of the multi-stage Dämpfungshöckergruppe or more lying at the same height support surfaces of the damping bumps of the multi-stage Dämpfungshöckergruppe to the outer packaging. This ensures that when a shock load occurs only the damping humps of the first Damping, whose support surfaces have the greatest distance from the main body of the support element, are effective.

As well it is advantageous if at least when the package is at rest a support surface of a Damping bumps the multilevel damping hump group not attached to the outer packaging. This ensures that that upon occurrence of a shock load the damper hump in question not in the first damping step, but only in the second or possibly another damping stage is deformed and thus to the damping effect contributes to the damping hump group.

Of the Supporting body of Packaging is preferably at least partially made of a foamed plastic material educated. As a result, a much better damping effect is achieved for example, when using packaging elements made of corrugated cardboard.

Especially Cheap it is when the support body in essentially complete from a foamed Plastic material is formed.

One particularly suitable foamed plastic material is expanded polystyrene material.

The inventive packaging is particularly suitable as a transport packaging for especially break-sensitive transport goods, in particular of particularly break-sensitive sinks, for example made of ceramic and / or composites.

The inventive packaging allows the goods to be transported particularly cost-effectively and reliably packaging.

Same or functionally equivalent Elements are designated in all figures with the same reference numerals.

One in the 1 to 12 shown as a whole with 100 designated package for a sink 102 in the illustrated embodiment, a main pool 104 , an additional basin 106 and one on the additional basin 106 opposite side of the main basin 104 arranged, flat drip area 108 comprises an outer packaging 110 as a folding box 112 , For example, from a corrugated material or a cardboard material, is formed.

The essentially parallelepiped folding box comprises two vertical long side walls 114 extending in a longitudinal direction 116 the packaging 100 extend, two vertical short sidewalls 118 extending in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction 116 extending horizontal transverse direction 120 the packaging 100 extend, a floor 122 that's two on the long side walls 114 the folding box 112 hinged outer locking tabs 124 (only one of which is shown in the figures) and two on the short side walls 118 the folding box 112 hinged inner closing straps 126 (of which only one half is shown in the figures) is formed, and a (not shown) lid, which as well as the ground 122 off on the long side walls 114 hinged outer locking tabs and on the short side walls 118 foldable arranged inner closing tabs is formed.

Like from the 1 to 3 can be seen, support the inner closing tabs 261 in the folded state on the bottom of the inner closing tabs 126 folding outer closing straps 124 the folding box 112 but extend from the short side walls 118 the folding box 112 not quite to the middle of the folding box 112 , so that between the in the folded state facing each other free edges 128 the two inner closing straps 126 of the soil 122 a gap 130 remains.

In the interior 132 the outer packaging 110 is a support assembly for the packaged sink 102 arranged, which two opposing support body 134 includes between which the sink 102 is held in the figures, only one of the two (with respect to the vertical longitudinal center plane of the package 100 mirror-symmetrical to each other) supporting body 134 is shown.

Each of the two supporting bodies 134 the packaging 100 comprises two mutually arranged support elements 136 namely a receiving element 138 and a spacer element 140 , wherein the receiving element 138 on the top of the spacer element 140 rests and the receiving element 138 and the spacer element 140 have identical shape and orientation.

The two support bodies 134 the packaging 100 So include a total of four support elements 136 of identical shape, namely two receiving elements 138 and two spacer elements 140 ,

The structure of these four identical with each other formed support elements 136 will be described below using the example of the 14 to 21 individually shown support element 136 which is in the packaging 100 as a receiving element 138 or as a spacer element 140 can serve described in detail: The support element 136 is formed as a substantially U-shaped support strip, with a in the longitudinal direction 116 extending middle section 142 and two along the transverse direction 120 extending end sections 144 ,

How best 16 can be seen, is the support element 136 with a receiving channel 146 provided by an approximately centered in the horizontal direction to that of the sink 102 facing inner sides of the central portion 142 and the end sections 144 extending groove is formed.

This recording channel 146 serves when using the support element 136 as a receiving element 138 for receiving one of the two long edge portions of the sink 102 , which are parallel to the two long sides of the sink 102 extend, and in each case a part of the two short edge portions extending along the two short sides of the sink 102 extend.

When packing the sink 102 is that as a recording element 138 used support element 136 pushed onto the sink rim so that a long edge portion of the sink edge in the middle section 142 of the receiving channel 146 and parts of the short edge portions of the rinse edge in the end portions 144 of the receiving channel 146 intervention. This is the sink 102 with the bottom of the sink edge on the lower boundary wall of the receiving channel 146 on.

Furthermore, each support element 136 at its top 148 with a plurality of upper damping bumps 150 provided with which the support element 136 when used as a receiving element 138 on the lid of the outer packaging 110 while supporting itself as a spacer element 140 the receiving element arranged above it 138 with its bottom 152 at these upper damping bumps 150 supported.

How best of the 14 and 15 can be seen, the upper damping humps rejuvenate 150 from her at the top 148 the basic body of the support element 136 arranged base from above, so that they have a substantially trapezoidal vertical longitudinal section and at each one transversely, preferably substantially perpendicular to the vertical 154 extending support surface 155 end up.

The long sides of the upper damping humps 150 are at the two upper middle damping bumps 156 and at the top two outer bumps 158 , which at the transition between the middle section 142 and each one of the end sections 144 of the support element 136 are arranged, substantially parallel to the transverse direction 120 aligned while the long sides of the at the end sections 144 arranged upper end damping cusp 160 and each in pairs between each one upper middle damping hump 156 and an upper outer damping bump 158 at the middle section 142 arranged upper intermediate damping hump 162 substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction 116 are aligned.

Each pair of upper intermediate damping bumps 162 each includes one at the sink 102 remote from the outside of the support element 136 arranged outer intermediate damping hump 162a and one at the sink 102 facing inside of the support element 136 arranged inner intermediate damping hump 162b ,

How best from the top view of 17 can be seen, are the outer intermediate damping hump 162a and the respective associated inner intermediate damping hump 162b by more than the respective bump widths B, B 'in the transverse direction 120 offset against each other. Due to this offset of the intermediate damping bumps 162 relative to each other is achieved that these damping bumps do not fall into the space between two successive in a conveying direction roles of a transport roller conveyor when the sink 102 with arranged on the sink edge receiving elements 138 in the head-up, ie with upper damping bumps pointing downwards 150 , is conveyed over a conveyor roller track, in such an orientation that the transverse direction 120 runs parallel to the conveying direction of the transport roller conveyor.

Further, the two are adjacent to each other arranged intermediate damping bumps 162 about its length L or L 'in the longitudinal direction 116 offset against each other. This offset ensures that the damping bumps 162 Do not get into the space between two consecutive rollers of the conveyor roller conveyor when the sink 102 is conveyed in such an orientation over the transport roller conveyor that the longitudinal direction 116 is aligned parallel to the conveying direction of the transport roller conveyor.

It is further characterized in that the two upper intermediate damping hump 162 an intermediate damping bump pair both in the longitudinal direction 116 as well as in the transverse direction 120 are offset relative to each other, the introduction of torsional forces in the support element 136 avoided, leaving the support element 136 during the transport of the sink 102 not occurring forces from the sink 102 is solved.

In the area of the upper outer damping humps 158 is the support element 13b at one of the sink 102 opposite outer side with two grooves 164 provided, which serve to receive in each case a (not shown) strapping a strapping, through which the support elements 136 the two supporting bodies 134 or else, with a direct stacking of several rinses explained in more detail below 102 , several recording elements 138 various sinks can be interconnected.

The grooves 164 are with an optical marking 166 provided in the form of a square grid, which indicates where on the support element 136 the strapping should run.

The optical marks 166 may in particular as a surface profiling, for example as in the outer surface of the support element 136 molded grooves, be formed.

How best 16 can be seen, is the support element 136 at his sink 102 facing inside, for example, on the long sides of the inner intermediate damping bumps 162b , with process aid code 168 provided, which facilitate the identification of related packaging parts in the packaging process and quality assurance.

These process help indicators 168 may for example have the shape of the letter A.

By choosing a process help indicator 168 , which is not symmetrical with respect to a reflection on the horizontal, is achieved that the correct orientation of the support elements 136 during the packaging process of the sink 102 based on the orientation of the process help indicator 168 can be checked.

The process help indicators 168 For example, as a surface profiling, for example, as in the surface of the support element 136 molded recesses be formed.

Furthermore, the support element 136 at his sink 102 facing inside in the area of the upper middle damping hump 156 each with a vertical receiving groove 170 which may serve to provide a vertical support plate of a sink cover (not shown) of the sink 102 , which may be formed for example of a cardboard plate or a corrugated board, to record and so the pelvic cover against movement relative to the support element 136 in the longitudinal direction 116 to secure, as in the EP 1 600 401 A1 is described.

In addition, the support element 136 at its top 148 with one between the upper middle damping bumps 156 arranged stop block 172 provided, which can engage in a complementary recess on a (not shown) horizontal cover plate of a pelvic cover to the horizontal cover plate against displacement relative to the support element 136 in the longitudinal direction 116 to secure, as likewise in the EP 1 600 401 A1 is described.

Furthermore, the support element 136 at his sink 102 facing inside, in the area between the upper middle Dämpfungshöckern 156 and the upper intermediate damping bumps 162 , with two vertical grooves 173 provided, which for receiving in each case a projection on a lateral edge of the two support body 134 can serve each other connecting (not shown) intermediate element, as shown in the EP 1 600 401 A1 is described.

At its bottom 152 is the support element 136 also with a plurality of lower damping bumps 174 provided, extending from one at the bottom 152 the basic body of the support element 136 arranged base from tapering down and at each one transverse, preferably substantially perpendicular, to the vertical 154 extending support surface 176 end up.

The lower damping humps 174 have a substantially trapezoidal vertical cross-section.

The long sides of the two lower middle damping humps 178 are substantially parallel to the transverse direction 120 ,

Each of a lower middle damping hump 178 out in the longitudinal direction 116 along the middle section 142 of the support element 136 progressing, follow on both sides of the lower middle damping humps 178 one lower intermediate damping hump each 180 and a lower outer damping hump 182 each other.

Each of the lower intermediate damping humps 180 includes an inner section 184 whose long sides are substantially parallel to the transverse direction 120 are aligned, and one directly to the inner section 184 adjacent shorter outer section 186 whose long sides are substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction 116 are aligned.

Each of the lower outer damping humps 182 is formed in an angular shape and thus extends in sections parallel to the longitudinal direction 116 and in sections parallel to the transverse direction 120 ,

At the bottom of each end section 144 of the support element 136 is a multi-level damping bump group 188 arranged, which as the first damping stage a high damping hump 190 , whose support surface 192 in the resting state of the support element 136 at the height H (from the bottom 152 the strip-shaped main body of the support element 136 from measured), and as a second attenuation stage a low attenuation hump 194 , whose support surface 196 in the resting state of the support element 136 at the height h, ie closer to the bottom 152 the basic body of the support element 136 , from which the lower damping humps 174 extend downwards, lies.

The tips of the high damping bump 190 and low damping bump 194 are arranged by a between the two damping bumps and substantially parallel to the transverse direction 120 extending gap 198 voneinan the separated, which the two damping humps 190 . 194 decoupled from each other so that the material of the high damping bump 190 can deform in the initial phase of a shock stress, without this by a coupling to the material of the low damping bump 194 to be hindered.

The gap 198 extends, starting from the support surface 196 the low damping bump 194 by at least the height h / 2, preferably by about 70% of the height h, upwards towards the bottom 152 the basic body of the support element 136 out.

Above the gap 198 are the damping humps 190 . 194 the damping hump group 188 through a common damping cusp base 200 connected with each other.

The higher damping hump 190 is preferably farther from the center of the support element 136 arranged as the lower damping hump 194 the damping hump group 188 ,

How best of the 3 and 10 can be seen lying in the resting state of the packaging 100 , ie in a state in which the packaging 100 is not exposed to shock loads, the support surfaces 192 the high damping hump 190 the damping hump groups 188 , the support surfaces 176 the lower outer damping hump 182 and the support surfaces 202 the outer sections 186 the lower intermediate damping hump 180 , which are all at the same height H (measured from the bottom 152 the strip-shaped main body of the support element 136 ), all at the interior 132 the outer packaging 110 facing top 204 the respectively associated inner closing tab 126 flat on.

On the other hand, the lower middle damping humps extend 178 as well as the inner sections 184 the lower intermediate damping hump 180 in the gap 130 between the free edges 128 the inner closing tabs 126 into it, leaving the support surfaces 206 the lower middle damping hump 178 and the inner sections 184 the lower intermediate damping hump 180 , which are all at the same height H '(measured from the bottom 152 the strip-shaped main body of the support element 136 ) which are further from the bottom 152 of the support element 136 is removed as the height H of the support surface 192 the high damping hump 190 the damping hump groups 188 and the support surfaces 178 the lower outer damping hump 182 , at rest of the packaging 100 flat at the top 208 one of the outer closing straps 124 the folding box 112 lie flat.

The difference between the heights H on the one hand and H 'on the other hand corresponds to the thickness of the inner closing straps 126 , which is the material thickness of the folding box 112 of about 7 mm, for example.

By increasing in the gap 130 between the free edges 128 the inner closing tabs 126 protruding lower middle damping hump 178 and the inner sections 184 the lower intermediate damping hump 180 will thus be at the free edges 128 the inner closing tabs 126 emerging step in the ground 122 the folding box 112 balanced, creating a stable support of the support body 134 on the ground 122 the folding box 112 is guaranteed.

Furthermore, the game between the support body 134 on the one hand and the floor 122 the folding box 112 on the other hand in the area of the gap 130 between the free edges 128 the inner closing tabs 126 , preferably to substantially zero. As a result, the possible deflection of the packaged sink 102 effectively reduced especially in the particularly fracture-prone middle region of the sink and thus significantly reduces the risk of breakage of the sink, in particular a sink made of a composite material in this area.

To allow mutually identical support elements 136 despite the increase in the central lower damping humps 178 . 180 can be stably stacked on top of each other 148 of the support element 136 , just vertically above the lower central damping bumps 178 . 180 , Recesses or depressions 210 provided, which is complementary to the tips of the lower middle damping hump 178 or the inner sections 184 the lower intermediate damping hump 180 are formed and their depth substantially the difference between the heights H and H 'of the lower damping hump 174 matches, so all lower damping humps 174 flat at the top 148 the lower, as a spacer element 140 Serving support element 136 abut, if another, as a receiving element 138 Serving support element 136 from above on this lower support element 136 is put on.

By the intervention of the central lower damping humps 178 . 180 of the upper support element 136 in the recesses 210 of the lower support element 136 is also achieved that the two stacked support elements 136 by positive engagement against a relative displacement along the longitudinal direction 116 are secured.

The support elements 136 are preferred from a foamed plastic material, in particular from an expanded polystyrene material.

The support elements 136 are further preferably each formed in one piece.

By using the two-stage damping bump groups 188 at the bottom of the support elements 136 In particular, in the case of smaller vertical impact stresses, in particular in the case of a small drop height (for example of at most approximately 30 cm), a particularly gentle damping is achieved.

Because of the support surface 196 the low damping bump 194 the damping hump group 188 in the resting state of the packaging around the distance H-h from the ground 122 the outer packaging 110 namely, it is achieved that at low drop heights (up to approximately 30 cm), only the high damping hump 190 the damping hump group 188 is deformed, without even the low damping hump 194 deformed and the reaction force of the support element 136 is enlarged. The reaction force of the support element 136 Thus, in this first damping stage is very targeted in the end region of the support element 136 reduced, where the forces acting on the longest lever with respect to the breakage-prone middle area of the packaged sink 102 which achieves that the sink 102 at low drop heights with less deflection in the receiving channel 146 the damping receiving element 138 dips. Due to this lower deflection in the first damping stage, the risk of breakage of the sink, in particular a sink made of a composite material, in the particularly fracture-prone central region of the sink is significantly reduced (see 10 ).

Only when the weak damping due to the high damping hump 190 the damping hump group 188 is consumed alone and also the (larger) support surface 196 the low damping bump 194 the damping hump group 188 in contact with the ground 122 the outer packaging 110 passes (see 11 ), sets the second damping stage, which is harder, since now both damping hump 190 . 194 the damping hump group 188 must be deformed simultaneously.

This second, harder cushioning level benefits from the edge area of the packaged sink 102 in the first attenuation stage straighter into the receiving channel 146 of the receiving element 138 is immersed.

By using the multi-stage damping bump groups 188 in the end regions of the support elements 136 A damping spring system with a very even damping curve is created, which protects particularly sensitive products, such as composite rinses, effectively against breakage.

Since the as recording elements 138 serving support elements 136 the above-described packaging 100 can be stacked on top of each other, the same recording elements 138 instead of individual packaging of a sink 102 in an outer packaging 110 also for the production of a stack 212 of rinsing 102 be used as he is in 13 is shown.

For producing such a stack 212 of rinsing 102 become two receiving elements 138 , as well as the support elements described above 136 are formed on the edge portions of the rinse edge of a first sink 102 deferred so that these edge sections in the receiving channels 146 the first receiving elements 138a are included.

In this case, the first recording elements 138a by means of a strapping of a band material on the sink 102 be determined.

Subsequently, a second sink 102b in the same way with second receiving elements 138b provided, which with the first receiving elements 138a are identical.

These second receiving elements 138b can by means of a strapping of a strip material to the second sink 102b be determined.

Subsequently, the first sink 102 in the head, ie with downward facing pelvic openings, on a substrate 214 parked, with the upper damping hump 150 at the top (facing down in this position) 148 the first receiving elements 138a , whose support surfaces 155 all the same height, ie the same distance from the top 148 the strip-shaped main body of the receiving elements 138a , show up on the ground 214 support and the first two receiving elements 138a the first sink 102 wear without the same the underground 214 touched.

Subsequently, the second sink 102b also in the Kopfüberstellung, with the second recording elements 138b progressing to the first sink 102 set up in such a way that the (in this position facing down) upper damping hump 150 the second receiving elements 138b flat at the (in this position facing up) bottom 152 the first receiving elements 138a abutment and the (in this position facing up) lower damping hump 174 the first receiving elements 138a flat at the (in this position facing down) top 148 the second receiving elements 138b abutment or in the wells 210 at the top 148 the second receiving elements 138b intervention.

In the manner described above can still further rinsing 102 , each using a pair of receptacles 138 , the sink pile 212 to be added.

This allows the rinses 102 arranged particularly space-saving and in this arrangement, for example, before a single transport in an outer packaging 110 , be stored.

As for the preparation of the sink pile 212 the same receptacles 138 They are also used as components of the individual packaging 100 can be used in the stack 212 stored rinse 102 without previous removal of the receiving elements 138 and thus particularly time-saving individually in each case an outer packaging 100 be packed, so the number of storage in the stack 212 and for the subsequent individual packaging of the sinks 102 in each case in a packaging 100 required packaging elements is reduced.

A sink 102 with arranged thereon receiving elements 138 in the head presentation is also particularly suitable for transporting the sink 102 via a transport roller conveyor with transport rollers which follow one another along a conveying direction and which are rotatable about horizontal axes oriented perpendicular to the conveying direction.

This is the sink 102 in the head-up with the recording elements 138 parked on the conveyor roller track so that the (in the Kopfüberstellung pointing down) upper damping hump 150 resting on the upper crests of the transport rollers.

By the above-described design of the upper damping hump 150 , in particular the pairs of upper intermediate damping bumps 162 , the recording elements 138 This avoids that these bumps during transport of the sink 102 can pass through the transport roller conveyor in the space between two consecutive transport rollers.
