Description

The invention relates to a packaging product unit according to the preamble of claim 1, which has a packaging product and a packaging unit containing the packaging product of a package. It is known from the prior art that laundry is packed in cardboard boxes or bags. So it can be easily stored, sold or transported. This is advantageous, in particular, because a cheap, wrinkle-free and easy-care packaging of the laundry is possible.

It is further known from the prior art to store laundry in an airtight sealable bag, which is provided with a valve which allows air to escape from the bag, but prevents the influx of air. If a compressive force is exerted on the sealed bag with its contents, the volume of the bag is reduced in comparison with the elastic restoring force exerted by the laundry. Air flows from the bag through the one-way valve into the surrounding atmosphere. Such compressive force may be exerted, for example, by squeezing or rolling the bag. If the compressive force is withdrawn in such a way that the elastic restoring force exerted by the washing predominates, then an increase in volume of the bag begins with its already compressed contents. However, this increase in volume is limited by the ingress of air from the surrounding atmosphere into the bag being prevented by the valve and the airtight seal, thus creating a negative pressure in the bag relative to the surrounding atmosphere. The volume of the bag after application of the compressive force can thus no longer reach the volume of the bag before its application. With sufficient strength of the bag and sufficient tightness of the bag, the valve and the closure thus a pressure difference between the interior of the bag and the surrounding atmosphere can be caused. This requires a compressive force on the laundry located in the bag over a certain period, which counteracts the elastic restoring force of the laundry so that a reduction in volume of the laundry can be achieved. Such bags are normally used for the space-saving transport of laundry on trips or expeditions, which implies a typical usage period of a few days. By opening the closure, the laundry located in the bag can be removed again. The bag can again assume its original volume and be used again. The disadvantage here is the insufficient preservation of the laundry.

US 5,692,606 discloses a packaging assembly in which stockings in a package are compacted by applying an external pressure to a loading unit having compression members. The compaction of a hosiery in a plastic bag can preferably be done by heat shrinking after the plastic bag is sealed by heat welding. Before a heat-welding step, the hosiery can be pushed into the lower half-half of the plastic bag by applying a vacuum within the storage compartment of the plastic bag. Thereafter, the plastic bag can be closed along an upper heat-welding line.

DE 690 01 696 T2 discloses a single package for food packaging and a method of making the same which provides for pre-folding the package in an upper part and a first thermal weld. This first heat treatment in the form of thermal welding causes the prefolded part to retain its shape without the package already being closed; the pack remains partially open in a central area. With its prefolded top, the package is placed in a container in which a partial vacuum is generated to extract the residual air from the package; In the same container, an inert gas can also be introduced into the package under partial vacuum, which prevents excessive hardening of the coffee pack. Shortly before exiting the container, the package is subjected to a second heat treatment in which the upper part of the package is sealed along a transverse line at a height of about 5 mm in extension of the areas thermobonded at the first heat treatment. According to the invention, the thermal weld is opposite the upper edges of the strip at a distance of at least 10 mm. Subsequently, the package passes device for cutting the strip.

DE 83 35 615 U1 discloses a multi-ply paper bag in which a first common fold line of an inner and outer bag is arranged in front of the weld seam of the inner bag and before a transverse perforation and a second fold lies at least for the outer bag behind the weld and transverse perforation.

US 2,764,859 discloses a method of packaging compressible articles that reduces a volume thereof. For this purpose, the article is placed in a bag or a non-rigid container made of gas-tight plastic, wherein the container is sealed and then the container is evacuated via a valve to the lowest possible pressure. The procedure is useful for military equipment.

It is desirable to reduce the space requirement of laundry in an improved manner and to provide the laundry in an improved manner. The object of the invention is to provide an improved packaging product unit and a device for offering a packaging product unit.

With regard to the packaging product unit, the object is achieved by the packaging product unit of claim 1, which comprises a packaging product and a packaging product containing the packaging unit packaging, is provided according to the invention that the packaging product is a hosiery and the packaging unit is vacuum sealed and sealed vacuum-tight on one side ,

With respect to the device, the invention leads to a machine of claim 9 with a packaging product unit of the type mentioned, which is received in a shaft with an ejection opening, wherein the shaft is formed for receiving a packaging product unit with a vacuumed packaging unit.

A sale of hosiery in vending machines can be particularly efficient when the hosiery is compressed, and compression of hosiery is unproblematic due to its crease resistance. The invention has recognized that conventional techniques for reducing the volume of laundry items are too expensive, space-intensive and not suitable for permanent reduction in volume. As a solution, the invention proposes to package the hosiery in a vacuumable packaging unit, to vacuum this and to close vacuum-tight on one side. The page is basically one side of the packaging unit through which the packaging product in the packaging unit, for example, a bag already sealed on three sides or two sides, is introduced. The page can therefore be defined in principle as a Einbringseite for the packaging product.

• – Bereitstellen des Verpackungsprodukts;
• – Einbringen des Verpackungsprodukts zwischen zwei Verpackungsflächen einer vakuumierbaren Verpackungseinheit einer Verpackung, insbesondere über eine Einbringseite, erfindungsgemäß ist weiter vorgesehen:
• – Falzen der Verpackungsflächen an wenigstens einer Seite, vorzugsweise der Einbringseite, der vakuumierbaren Verpackungseinheit;
• – Vakuumieren der Verpackungseinheit; und
• – Vakuumdichtes Verschließen der Verpackungseinheit, der Verpackungsflächen an der wenigstens einen Seite, insbesondere der Einbringseite.

A method for producing a packaging product unit comprises the following steps:

• - providing the packaging product;
• - Introducing the packaging product between two packaging surfaces of a vacuumable packaging unit of a package, in particular via a feed side, according to the invention is further provided:
• - Folding the packaging surfaces on at least one side, preferably the introduction side, the vacuumable packaging unit;
• - Vacuuming of the packaging unit; and
• - Vacuum-tight sealing of the packaging unit, the packaging surfaces on the at least one side, in particular the introduction side.

The vacuum-tight closure is particularly preferably carried out by welding, vacuum-tight sealing, vacuum-tight clips, stapling, gluing or the like. In this case, welding or gluing or other vacuum-tight sealing has proven to be particularly preferred.

The vacuumed packaging unit is particularly suitable for dispensing in a vending machine in the service industry, such. In hotels, pensions or restaurants. Furthermore, the mentioned method for producing a packaging product unit is particularly suitable for producing a vacuumed packaging unit which is sold at the outlets described above. When opening the packaging unit, the vacuum escapes irrevocably; it is therefore a disposable packaging unit.

Further advantageous developments of the invention can be found in the subclaims and specify in detail advantageous possibilities to realize the above-described concept within the scope of the problem as well as with regard to further advantages.

More preferably, the vacuum-sealed packaging unit at least at one removal side an opening aid, such. As a tab, a tear thread or a unidirectional film area or a notch on. This facilitates the opening of the vacuumed packaging unit for the removal of the packaging product. Particularly preferably, the removal side opposite to the vacuum-tight closed side - ie the introduction side - arranged, since the manufacturing process can be simplified thereby. However, the unloading side may be the same side as the feed side.

The vacuum-sealed packaging unit has a folding section on the vacuum-sealed side. The invention has recognized that this fixes the hosiery within the vacuum-sealed packaging unit for the vacuum-tight closure and a contact between the hosiery and a Verschließabschnitt is prevented.

More preferably, a closing portion, in particular a sealing portion or a welding portion, distal and a folded portion disposed proximal to the packaging product. The invention has recognized that in this way the hosiery is particularly effectively fixed within the vacuum-sealed packaging unit for the vacuum-tight closure and prevents contact between the hosiery and a closure section. In addition, the invention has recognized that a distance between the packaging product and the folding section is particularly preferably about 1 cm.

Preferably, the vacuumized packaging unit consists of at least one film, preferably a multilayer film, for. B. a sealable film, in particular a weldable film. Preferably, the vacuumed packaging unit is designed in the form of a bag. This improves the durability of the vacuum in the packaging unit.

Particularly preferred is the bag made of a multilayer film. A multilayer film of the vacuum-packaged packaging unit particularly preferably has an aluminum layer. Likewise, a multilayer film of the vacuumized packaging unit particularly preferably has a multifunctional layer sequence. In this way, a particular airtightness of the vacuumized packaging unit can be achieved in order to maintain the reduction in volume of the hosiery over as long a period as possible. In addition, other desirable properties such as protection against mechanical or chemical damage can be achieved. In addition, the vacuum-packed packaging unit can be given a desired feel and / or appearance. For example, a multilayer film may have a vacuum-tight layer and a sealant layer or a weldable layer.

With further preference, a layer sequence of a multilayer film of the vacuum-packaged packaging unit has an outer printable layer remote from the product unit. In this way, it can be achieved that the vacuumed packaging unit can be printed and / or glued. As a result, outer packaging can be redundant, which costs and space requirements can be further reduced. Nevertheless, outer packaging can be used.

According to the invention, the vacuum-sealed packaging unit has a stiffness which is brought about by the vacuum and which is greater than that of a packaging unit with a vacuum-packed packaging product. In this way it can be achieved that the vacuumed packaging unit is stiffer than a packaging unit with a vacuum-packed packaging product, but still remains flexible by hand. This is particularly advantageous if the packaging unit is to be introduced into an outer packaging, since a certain flexibility is maintained and / or jamming is prevented. Furthermore, it can thereby be achieved that the vacuumized packaging unit is no longer bendable and as a result the space requirement can be further reduced. In addition, this can be achieved by reducing the space requirement of the vacuumized packaging unit by about one third.

Preferably, a vacuum of the vacuumized packaging unit is a vacuum at a pressure in the range of 1 mbar to 900 mbar, in particular 2 mbar to 400 mbar. A vacuum with a pressure in the range of 400 to 700 mbar is preferred if the packaging product unit is to be comparatively flexible. Further preferred is a vacuum with a pressure in the range of 100 to 500 mbar, if the packaging unit should still be bendable by hand. A vacuum in the range of 2 mbar to 100 mbar results in a comparatively rigid packaging product unit, which may also be preferred. Basically, pressures of the vacuum below 200 mbar are particularly well suited to make the vacuum-sealed packaging unit so dimensionally stable that a compact and well-measured shape for insertion into a machine is possible even without cardboard packaging; the latter can therefore be omitted in principle.

According to the invention, a hem portion of the hosiery within the vacuum-sealed packaging unit is further away from the vacuum-tightly closed insertion side than a foot portion of the hosiery. The invention has recognized that, as a result, the thicker and more elastic hem part does not lead to any impairment in the formation of the closing section. In addition, the invention has recognized that thereby the hem portion exerts no permanent force on the Verschließabschnitt, which could affect its long-term stability.

A particularly preferred production method provides that the packaging product is introduced into the packaging unit via the introduction side. Preferably, the packaging unit is already a three-sided sealed (unilaterally open) bag, if necessary, a only two-sided sealed (two-sided open) bag can be provided, which is associated with a higher Verschließaufwand. After introduction of the packaging product is a folding of the packaging surfaces, advantageously close to the packaging product, eg. B. at a distance of about 1 cm from the packaging product or below at the still open sides. This leads to a preparation of the preliminary packaging product unit that is already advantageous for the closing process. The further vacuum-tight sealing and / or sealing of the packaging product unit which satisfies the requirements of the inventive concept is associated with a corresponding handling of the preliminary packaging product unit. Therefore, the folding of the packaging surfaces as particularly useful to avoid errors in vacuum-tight sealing. This prevents the packaging product from entering an area of the packaging unit intended for vacuum-tight sealing. Overall, a particularly small packaging product unit can be realized.

Advantageously, the closes at the one, the product proximally adjacent fold section, a Verschließabschnitt, which may for example have a width of about 2 cm. Such a width of a closing section is particularly suitable for welding or other vacuum-tight sealing in the closing section. For example, a beam welding machine or a welding machine with a welding wire can be used.

Preferably, in a first alternative, after the vacuum-sealing of the preliminary packaging product unit, further folding may take place distally of the closing section. Subsequently, distally behind the distal fold, and possibly also before that - if the tightness of the closure section allows it - separation of excess material of the packaging unit can take place.

In a second alternative, excess material of the packaging unit can already be separated in the immediate vicinity of the vacuum-tight closure of the packaging product unit. A separation process can for example be done mechanically or by the action of heat.

The vacuum-tight sealing by means of a welding process has proved to be particularly preferred and reliable. For example, a welding wire and a parallel directly adjacent separating wire can be used in a welding machine for the second alternative explained above. It is also possible to use a welding bar in a welding apparatus for the first alternative explained above; a welding bar has the advantage that a wider weld can be achieved, which increases the reliability of the vacuum-tight closure of the packaging product unit.

Furthermore, the packaging preferably has an outer packaging, which may be designed in particular in the form of a cardboard. As a result, the look and feel of the packaging can be improved and made more free.

Embodiments of the invention will now be described below with reference to the drawing. This is not necessarily to scale the embodiments, but the drawing, where appropriate for explanation, executed in a schematic and / or slightly distorted form. With regard to additions to the teachings directly recognizable from the drawing reference is made to the relevant prior art. It should be noted that various modifications and changes may be made in the form and detail of an embodiment without departing from the general idea of the invention. The disclosed in the description, in the drawing and in the claims features of the invention may be essential both individually and in any combination for the development of the invention. In addition, all combinations of at least two of the features disclosed in the description, the drawings and / or the claims fall within the scope of the invention. The general idea of the invention is not limited to the exact form or detail of the preferred embodiments shown and described below or limited to an object that would be limited in comparison with the subject matter claimed in the claims. For the given design ranges, values within the stated limits should also be disclosed as limit values and be arbitrarily usable and claimable.

For the sake of simplicity, identical or similar parts or parts having identical or similar functions will be denoted by the same reference numerals below.

Further advantages, features and details of the invention will become apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments and from the drawing, wherein the figures represent the following:

1 shows a preferred embodiment of a packaging product unit according to the present invention.

2 schematically shows a vacuumed packaging unit of the packaging product unit.

3 schematically shows a packaging unit of the packaging product unit with the contained packaging product during a step of manufacturing the packaging product unit.

4 shows a machine for the packaging product unit.

1 shows a packaging product unit 10 with a packaging 30 and a packaging unit 20 , The packaging unit 20 contains a packaging product in the form of a tights or a pair of stockings (hereafter "Stockings"), which in 1 is not visible. The packaging unit 20 has a foil 50 on which encloses the packaging product. The packaging unit 20 is on one side 40 , the Einbringseite, welded and therefore points to this side 40 a welding section 60 on. Furthermore, the packaging unit 20 Vacuum, whereby the contained packaging product is reduced in volume. In addition, due to the vacuum-sealed design of the packaging unit 20 increased stiffness. In the present case, the stiffness is designed such that the stiffness is indeed greater than the stiffness of a non-vacuum packaging unit, but still still allows a manual bending of the vacuumized packaging unit. Alternatively, the stiffness can also be designed such that the packaging unit 20 by hand is no longer bendable.

By welding the packaging unit 20 by means of the welding section 60 is achieved that the vacuumed state over a long period, eg. B. over a period of several years, can be maintained. The vacuumed state is maintained until the packaging product unit 20 is opened to remove the stockings. In this case, through the opening of the packaging unit 20 an irreversible connection between the interior of the packaging unit 20 and the surrounding atmosphere, thereby re-forming or maintaining a pressure differential between the interior of the packaging unit 20 and the surrounding atmosphere becomes impossible.

To facilitate the opening of the packaging unit 20 indicates the packaging unit 20 present a notch 70 on. The notch 70 ensures a locally reduced resistance of the packaging unit 20 against a combination of forces which are each approximately perpendicular to the areal extent of the packaging unit 20 and act in opposite directions as can be achieved, for example, by pulling two locations of the packaging unit with two hands. Thus, the notch facilitates 70 the tearing and opening of the packaging unit 20 , Is the notch 70 existing, it defines a removal side of the packaging unit 20 , The removal side can be the same side as the welded side 40 However, it can also be different from this, in particular this parallel and opposite. The packaging unit 20 However, alternatively, it may be formed without a notch.

The foil 50 The vacuum-packed packaging unit in the present case is a multilayer film. For example, a layer of the multilayer film may consist essentially of aluminum. By a suitable choice of the layers of the multilayer film desired properties of the packaging unit such as particularly pronounced airtightness, a protective effect against mechanical or chemical damage or a special feel and / or appearance can be achieved. In the present case, the multilayer film has the packaging unit 20 a unitary external printable layer 100 on which inscriptions (schematically indicated) such as a company logo, an advertising slogan or the like can be printed.

2 and 3 illustrate the manufacturing process of the packaging product unit. In 2 is already in 1 illustrated packaging unit 20 shown schematically. In the present case, the packaging unit provided in the form of a bag has 20 a fold section 80 , about 1 cm from the product 90 removed, as well as the welding section 60 , about 2 cm wide, on. Both the fold section 80 as well as the welding section 60 are at the side 40 , so the Einbringseite for the packaging product, the packaging unit 20 educated. Inside the slide 50 which is the or part of the packaging unit 20 is an edged area 55 shown. This edged area 55 merely schematically represents approximately the place within the packaging unit 20 located and in 2 Not shown packaging product. In the present case, the folding section 80 proximal and the welding section 60 formed distal to the packaging product.

In 3 is the packaging unit 20 with a contained packaging product 90 schematically shown in the state immediately after performing the vacuum and welding. The fold section 80 on the side 40 the packaging unit 20 is shown symbolically in folded state. By folding the fold section 80 that will be in the packaging unit 20 located packaging product 90 fixed for the process of welding and a contact between the welding section 60 and the packaging product 90 prevented. In principle, any suitable type of folding in the folding section can be used. This avoids both damage to the packaging product 90 by the welding process, as well as an impairment of the welding section 60 due to unintentionally jammed parts of the packaging product 90 , In the present case, after vacuuming and welding with a beam welding machine in the welding section 60 again a second distal fold section 81 appropriate. Excess material becomes distal behind the distal fold section 81 separated.

Is the packaging product 90 a tights, which are so in the packaging unit 90 there is a hem part 110 the same farther from the welded side 40 away is as a foot part 120 the same. This is exactly opposite to the usual way of arranging such hosiery in non-vacuum packaging units, which is justified by the fact that the narrower foot part 120 easier to insert into the packaging unit first than the thicker hem part 110 , In the embodiment shown, however, results from the arrangement of hosiery opposite to the usual execution, a technical advantage such that the hem part 110 the fine tights farther away from the welding section 60 on the one hand, which prevents the (compared to the foot 120 ) thicker hem part 110 the correct formation of the welding section 60 impaired, and on the other hand prevents the (compared to the foot 120 ) thicker and thus also a higher elastic restoring force exerting hem part 110 the long-term stability of the welding section 60 impaired. Basically, this applies analogously to any type of hosiery.

In the present case, the vacuum has a pressure in the range of about 100 mbar to 200 mbar. As a result, the packaging unit remains manually bendable. Alternatively, a vacuum with a pressure in the range of 1 to 100 mbar may be used if the packaging unit is no longer to be manually bendable. By the appropriate choice of pressure, the desired volume reduction of the packaging product can be achieved 90 and in particular the rigidity of the packaging unit 20 be adjusted after welding.

A method for producing a packaging product unit 10 according to the present invention is also based on 3 described. This is the provided packaging product 90 in the form of stockings between two packaging surfaces 130 . 140 the vacuumable packaging unit 20 over the page 40 , So the feed side, introduced. Subsequently, the packaging surfaces 130 . 140 on the side 40 the vacuumable packaging unit 20 folded at a distance of about 1 cm from the packaging product in order to achieve the technical advantages described above. Then the packaging unit 20 Vacuum, which preferably by introducing the packaging unit 20 in a vacuum chamber of a vacuuming machine, which vacuum chamber is completely vacuumable, can take place. Alternatively, however, other possibilities for vacuuming the packaging unit 20 applicable. So it is possible, for example, the packaging unit 20 by sucking the air only from the inside of the packaging unit 20 over the page 40 to vacuum. It is also possible to use the packaging unit 20 by applying mechanical pressure to the outside of the packaging unit 20 to vacuum, which, however, usually can not reach the preferred vacuum pressures in the range of 2-400 mbar.

After vacuuming, the packaging unit 20 on the insertion side 40 by welding in the welding section 60 sealed vacuum-tight. Because the welding section 60 in the illustrated embodiment of the packaging product 90 is further spaced than the fold section 80 becomes a contact between the welding section 60 and the packaging product 90 prevented during the welding process. The welding leads to a particularly durable, airtight connection of the packaging surfaces 130 . 140 on the side 40 , whereby a long-term, in principle, practically years lasting maintenance of the vacuumed state of the packaging unit 20 is possible.

In 4 is an automaton 200 represented according to the present invention, as z. B. for staff in hotels, restaurants and pensions can be used. The automaton 200 has a shaft 210 on, which for receiving at least one packaging product unit 10 with a vacuumed packaging unit 20 is trained. Furthermore, the automaton 200 an ejection opening 220 through which a packaging product unit 10 can be delivered to a customer.

As the packaging product unit 10 the described vacuuming and welding lends a smaller volume and an increased rigidity compared to a non-vacuumed packaging unit, the shaft can 210 of the machine 200 a larger amount of packaging product units 10 and handle them more easily and efficiently. Further advantages result from the use of the vacuumed packaging product unit 10 regarding the transport of packaging product units 10 to the machine 200 , in which also the reduced space requirements and easier handling come into their own.

In particular, the advantages in the automated sale of hosiery in the service industry, such as. In hotels, pensions or restaurants. The proposed machine can be used for this particularly advantageous. However, it should be noted that the machine can also be installed at any other locations. It should also be noted that the sale of the vacuum-packaged packaging unit at all imaginable points of sale is possible both automatically and manually.

In summary, the invention relates to a packaging product unit 10 with a one packaging product 90 in the form of hosiery contained packaging unit 20 a packaging 30 . at which the packaging unit 20 Vacuum and on one side 40 vacuum sealed, advantageously welded, is. In preferred embodiments, the invention relates to the formation of the vacuumized packaging unit 20 from at least one slide 50 , the training of a welding section 60 , the formation of a notch 70 on a removal side, the formation of a folding section 80 between the welding section 60 and the packaging product 90 as well as the formation of the film 50 as a multi-layer film, which also has a non-unit, outer, printable layer 100 can have. By vacuuming the packaging unit 20 can the volume of the packaging unit 20 reduced and their stiffness can be increased simultaneously, each compared with a non-vacuum packaging unit. Particularly advantageous welding can accomplish, if a hem part 110 the hosiery farther from the welded side 40 is removed as a foot part 120 hosiery. Furthermore, the invention relates to a machine 200 for efficiently selling the packaging product unit 10 and a method for producing the described packaging product unit 10 which is a folding of the vacuumable packaging unit 20 before vacuuming and welding.
