Method and device for packaging

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for packaging and relates in particular to the use of a cardboard blank a in the manner of an envelope for a plurality of objects to be packaged, where <iuer arranged the objects Danced separating tongues from the bottom of the wrapper are. This is intended to ensure protection against breakage or other damage, the invention partly due to the equilateral folding of such transverse cushions from the plane of the wall from which they are viewed be exposed while dl · convolution of a dtrartigem Wall is completed.

To protect against breaking or other damage as a result Collisions »wipe neighboring packing items au offer, it is known to separate either the objects To separate subdivision from one another or to provide separating means la in the form of tongues, which come from the soil or the Daoh of the wrapper can be punched out and which protrude inwardly for layers between the adjacent objects to take. Such tongues can either be transverse to the Mnhüller be arranged that have the Fora of a central keel or represent a plurality of sittlerer tongues, the ale separating means the objects serve.

IDs are known envelope-like packings in which transversely arranged the objects separating tongues from the base are punched out and in layers between adjacent objects folded to ensure their protection. Such known packages are formed by a known device which the transversely arranged tongues from the plane of the Unfold the wall from which it was previously brought for positioning the objects to be packaged on such a wall be punched out, for carriers like the Einhüllera For example, as disclosed in U.S. Patent 2,786,572, the transverse separating tabs can be used, but they can not before placing the packaging on the bottom of the carrier au Objects are brought into their useful positions, since the base wall is a cohesive structure, dta from consists of a pair of tabs that go under the group of items folded and then fastened together.

Main task of this applied to a support »it bottom flaps The invention consists in providing a method and an improved device for unfolding transversely arranged, Objects separating tongues from a bottom flap, from which they are punched out, while at the same time the bottom is folded by means of the bottom flaps itself.

Another object of the invention is to provide a packaging device to be provided in the case of the fastening means for folds of transversely arranged, Objects separating tongues from the wrapping flap also as a guide for entering the separating tongues in positions serve between pairs of adjacent objects.
