Packaging for items with protruding edges

The invention relates to a packaging for packaging items provided with an outwardly projecting edge, deepening in cross-section between at least two edge parts, preferably for U-shaped sinks made of mineral composite material with a protruding bearing edge serving for their installation.

The items to be packaged are in particular those whose protruding edge is used for gripping or assembly, while the material between the edge is particularly susceptible to breakage when the item is not installed. A typical item of this type is a sink made of mineral composite material. Shipping such a high-quality item, which in particular has to be shipped individually packaged, requires special packaging. There are special logistical requirements for packing, shipping, transporting and keeping the packaging items ready. In particular, it is important that the goods are packaged quickly, and the packaging must be able to be unpacked on site, e.g. at a construction site, and if necessary, repackaged without any effort.

Conventional packaging for sinks has proven to be unsatisfactory. The sinks are embedded in relatively soft packaging material and in particular inserted in packaging bodies made of plastic foam. Such embeddings or packaging holders are provided to rest on the particularly fragile part of the sink. With the contour of the packaging material adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the sink, a relatively soft, yet shock-absorbing and deflection-preventing support is to be achieved. Drop tests with these packaging fillers or form-adapted inserts do not produce satisfactory results. In addition,

Plastic packaging materials are not or only partially environmentally friendly, and special measures must be taken for disposal and/or recycling. Conventional contour-shaped packaging remains unfavorable in terms of storage, bulk transport and handling for packing and unpacking. Molded inserts made of plastic foam or outer boxes with shape-adapted embedding are material-intensive and bulky. In particular, space-saving storage and transport forms are not possible.

The invention is based on the aim of creating a packaging for fragile objects with a protruding edge of the type mentioned, which are particularly sensitive to bending, which forms a particularly safe and protective receptacle for transport, can be manufactured from environmentally friendly material in a material- and cost-saving manner and can be erected from flat material in a space-saving manner.

These objectives are achieved in that the packaging mentioned at the beginning comprises a receiving body with a receiving space into which the packaging object inserted into the receiving body projects with its part located below the protruding edge, the receiving body is provided with a support bearing which receives at least parts of the protruding edge of the packaging object for freely suspended storage of the packaging object, the receiving body is formed by at least one body element which is U-shaped in cross section, has a web wall and leg walls, which is created by erecting a blank made of corrugated material such as corrugated cardboard or similar material, and leg walls of at least one of the U-shaped body elements which are opposite one another in the U-profile cross section with their high free edges form a seating bearing of the support bearing for at least parts of the protruding edge of the packaging object.

-3- The
The transport and storage packaging according to the invention is characterized in particular by the fact that the protruding edge of the packaging object is specifically supported by the packaging, while the other, particularly fragile, areas between the edge are suspended freely in the packaging, with the receiving body of the packaging forming a relatively solid, strut-like, particularly cuboid-shaped shell body. This can not only be used in conjunction with the packaging object in a surrounding packaging container such as an outer box for shipping in a space- and material-saving manner, but it also forms an independent storage and transport unit that satisfies logistical requirements such as space-saving storage, transport in the form of bulk cargo in containers or on container pallets, rapid packing and unpacking and, if necessary, repackaging. The inventive seated storage on long, high wall edges optimally counteracts the risk of bending of the packaging parts that are susceptible to breakage. Only the edges of the packaging object are held and supported as if in a rail. The packaging provides a particularly stable and safe form of storage and transport for the packaging item. The packaging according to the invention can be used particularly advantageously and conveniently to package sinks that are particularly fragile before they are installed. After they have been installed, however, they are largely protected against breakage because they are then secured by the protruding edge of the sink and stored stably. A similar, equally favorable storage is achieved using the packaging seat storage according to the invention. Another advantage is that the packaging body consists of erectable flat material in the form of a cut from corrugated material, preferably corrugated cardboard. It is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly material that is easy to handle and can be delivered and kept ready in a space-saving manner.

A particularly advantageous embodiment according to the invention consists in the formation of a double wall with an outer wall covering the edge of the protruding object edge and an inner wall forming the seat support. The double wall can expediently be provided as a folding wall. With the folding wall arrangement, the receiving body can advantageously be formed from a single U-profile body element.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, a type of clamping groove is formed between an upper body element web wall and the seat edge for clampingly receiving the protruding flat edge of the packaging object. For the clamping arrangement, it is particularly advantageous to form the seat bearing in the inner edge area between the web wall and the outer wall.

Instead of a folding wall design, another very advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the double wall is formed by two body elements that are U-shaped in cross section and placed against each other. Openings can advantageously be formed in the web walls of the two U-profile body elements in order to create engagement space, in particular for a stacking arrangement.

For the stacking arrangement of the receiving bodies carrying the packaging items, these advantageously have diverging leg walls in a U-shaped cross section, which can be used expediently as support feet. The means for stacking provided in the inventive design comprise spacers which keep the protruding edges of packaging items at a distance in their stacking arrangement and form a cushion.

In order to form the packaging in combination with the packaging object, it is expedient to connect the double walls of the receiving body firmly, but preferably detachably, in particular with a slot/pull tab connection.

With a view to a particularly simple and quick arrangement of the receiving body with the packaging object in a container surrounding this unit, such as an outer box, it is particularly expedient to arrange edge pads on the outside of the receiving body. These are advantageously provided as folding pads that can be folded back and forth between a flat position and an angled position.

The subclaims are directed to the above-mentioned and other expedient and advantageous embodiments of the invention, and particularly expedient and advantageous embodiments or possibilities of the invention are described in more detail in the following description of the embodiments shown in the schematic drawing. They show

A packaging according to the invention according to Fig. 1 comprises a receiving body 1, which is erected from a blank according to Fig. 2 to form a body element 10. This is U-shaped in profile cross-section with a web wall 101 at the top and perpendicular to it leg walls. Each leg wall is provided as a double wall in the form of a folding wall with an outer wall 11 and inner wall 12. The inner leg height of the inner wall 12 is less than the inner leg height of the outer wall 11. This creates grooves 131 along the length of the body element 10 along the two inner edges of the U-profile. The free longitudinal edges of the high free edges of the inner walls 12 in the rectangular U-cross section form seating edges 130. The groove 131 is dimensioned such that it forms a rail-like clamp seat for the longitudinal edge 21 of a packaging object 2 between the sitting edge 130 and the web wall 101. The packaging object 2 is a sink made of composite ceramic.

In most cases, the extension of the sink 2 is considerably larger in one main dimension than in the other main dimension. Such a sink 2 can be seen in Fig. 7.

knows that, particularly due to the large longitudinal extension, bending forces occur which can easily lead to breakage in the transverse direction. In order to avoid this risk of breakage, the basin 2 is inserted into the clamp seat receptacle with its longitudinal edges 21, which are flat edge parts of the edge 20 angled outwards on the upper side of the basin. For this purpose, the groove width is slightly smaller than the thickness of the flat edge 21.

As can be seen from Fig. 1, the double walls 11, 12 on the underside of the receiving body 1 protrude above the bottom of the basin 2. The inner dimension of the web wall 101 is adapted to the distance between the outer edges of the longitudinal edges 21, so that these also rest against the outer walls 11. This creates a firm seat that does not allow the basin 2 to move in the transverse direction and thus ensures secure seating on the edges 130, which are narrow in themselves and are only determined by the thickness of the material of the cut.

As a result of the longitudinal edges 21 resting on the seating edges 130, the actual basin parts 24, 25 protrude in a freely suspended arrangement into the receiving space 100 between the double walls 12. Overhangs of the walls 11, 12 on the underside of the receiving body 1 form feet 19. The receiving body 1 with the basin 2 inserted into it can thus be loaded as an adjustable unit in containers for mass/bulk transport. In addition, each unit can be conveniently kept ready for packing for individual shipping and can also be removed from a shipping packaging (outer packaging) 4.

On the outside of the receiving body 1, edge pads 3 are arranged on the edges 17 extending perpendicularly to the U-profile cross-section of the receiving body 1. Upper edge pads 31 are firmly connected to the cut or the body element 10.

They are cushions with a longitudinal slot that can be folded back and forth between a flat position when the cut is lying flat and the angled position when the cut is standing upright. In addition, L-shaped angle cushions 32 extending in the longitudinal direction are provided to accommodate the double-wall feet 19. As can be seen from Fig. 1, the receiving body 1 with the cushions 3 is inserted into the outer packaging 4 in a snug fit.

In the embodiment of Fig. 3, a receiving body 1 is formed by two body elements 14, 15 that are U-shaped in profile cross-section. These are placed one inside the other with open long sides facing each other. The upper web wall 101 of the outer body element 15 is larger than the web length of the web wall 141, corresponding to twice the material thickness of the cuts of the two body elements 14, 15. The two body elements 14, 15 joined together form a cuboid-shaped receiving body 1 with an interior space 100. The body 1 is tubular, with the two end faces being open. The outer body element 15 forms the outer leg walls 110, while the inner body element 14 forms the inner leg walls 120, on whose free high edges 130 the long edges 21 of a basin 2 in turn sit. In this embodiment, too, a clamp seat holder as in Fig. 1 is provided in connection with the seat bearing 13. In order to create the clamp seat between the seat edge 130 and the underside of the web wall 151, it is expedient for the inner wall 120 and the outer wall 110 of each double wall to be firmly connected to one another, forming the groove 131 used for clamping. The wall connection can be expediently made with cardboard clips 16.1, but also with a detachable slot/pull tab connection 16.2.

As shown in dashed lines in Fig. 3, a particularly advantageous measure is to extend each leg wall 110 with a flap section 111. These are designed and hinged lengthways so that they grip under the web wall 141 like two cover flaps. The gap between the flap edges facing each other is covered and glued over with an adhesive strip, which is expediently stretched around the entire receiving body 1. In this way, the inner body element 14 with the basin 2 is pressed tightly against the web wall 151 of the outer body element 15, which is completely closed along its longitudinal circumference. This has the advantage that the clamp or tab connection 16.1 or 16.2 can be omitted. Instead of the flap/adhesive strip connection 16.3, the receiving body 1 can also be clamped using other suitable clamping means such as clamping straps and/or a clamping sleeve. The flap sections can also be secured to the web wall 141 and/or in an overlap (not shown) with one another or with a leg wall to form a clamping connection using conventional self-adhesive or self-bonding means.

As can be seen from Fig. 3, the parts of the basin 2 lying under the longitudinal edges 21 protrude freely into the receiving space 100. The receiving body 1 is closed off at the bottom with the web wall 141, so that additional protection is formed on the underside of the basin. In the same way as in Fig. 1, the receiving body 1 in Fig. 3 can be provided with edge pads 3 and housed in an outer packaging 4.

Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of a packaging according to the invention with a receiving body 1.1, which, in this respect in accordance with the embodiment according to Fig. 3, is formed from two body elements 14, 15 with a U-shaped cross section. Three such receiving bodies

- 10-

receiving bodies 1.1 are stacked one above the other. For this purpose, special adjustments are made to the inner body 14 and the outer body 15, as described below, whose cuts are provided with the same reference numerals and are shown in Fig. 5 and 6. The web width of the web wall 151 of the body element 15 is equal to the web width of the web wall 141 of the inner body element 14. The height of the outer leg walls 110 formed by the body element is approximately twice as large as the height of the inner leg walls 120 of the body element 14. As can be seen in particular from Fig. 5 and 6, recesses 150 and 140 are provided in the upper web wall 151 and in the lower web wall 141, the opening contour of which corresponds to the bottom surface contours of deep basin parts 24, 25 of a basin 2 according to Fig. 7.

As a result of the described dimensioning of the widths of the web walls 141, 151, it is achieved that the outer body element 15 is formed with slightly diverging leg walls in the U-profile cross-section, while the inner body element 14 is provided with leg walls 120 that converge accordingly in the U-profile cross-section and rest against the leg walls 110. Due to the greater height of the diverging leg walls 110, they protrude downwards on the lower web wall 140 and form feet 19 of the receiving body 1.

The basin 2 is inserted into the receiving body 1 by means of a seat and clamp bearing 13 in the same way as in Fig. 3. The size of the basin 2 also corresponds to that of the basin in Fig. 3. Due to the shortened height of the body element 14, the basin 2 with its deep parts 24 and 25 must be inserted into the space 100.1 below the web wall 141.

- 11-

For this purpose, a common recess 140 for the deep basin parts 24 and 25 with a corresponding outline contour is provided in the lower web wall 141.

A corresponding recess 150 is provided in the upper web wall 151 in order to be able to place the receiving body 1.1 in the stacking position on an identical receiving body 1.1, in each case in conjunction with the associated basin 2. The front edges of the recesses 140 and 150 can expediently form a system to prevent a sliding movement of the inserted basin 2.

Edge web parts 154 of the web wall 151 cover the upper surface of the flat edge 21 and form the counter surface for the clamp seat holder. In addition, the web parts 154 come into flat contact with the edge web parts 144 of the web wall 141 of the inner body element 14. In addition, the continuous web surfaces of the web walls 141, 151 lie flat against one another. It can be seen that the web walls 141, 151 lying against one another in the stack in combination with the height of the leg walls 120 of the body element 14 are spacers and cushioning means that determine the stack distance between the edges 21 of two basins 2 that are one after the other in the stack. Two basins 2 that are one after the other in the stack interlock with one another with their deep parts 24, 25 to save space. On the edge of the recess 150, protective flaps 155 are provided, which are not shown in Fig. 4 and have no influence on the hanging support of the basin 2.

It is particularly advantageous to connect the leg walls 110 and 120 to one another in a flat arrangement using a detachable pull tab. Such a connection 16.2 is only indicated in Fig. 4, while it is shown in Figs. 5 and 6.

- 12-

Three pull tabs 152 are punched in pairs on the blank 15. These correspond to slotted receptacles 142 arranged in pairs in the web wall 141 of the blank 14. In the upright, assembled state of the body elements 14, 15, the inner tab section 152.1 of the tab 152 comes to rest on the underside of the web wall 141, while the outer tab section 152.2 is pulled through the associated slot 142 and there reaches a releasable locking position with nose flaps 152.3.

The cut, as shown in Fig. 6, basically has the same external shape as a cut provided for the outer body element 15 in Fig. 3. In order to clarify the design of the flap sections 111, these are shown in dashed lines in Fig. 6.

Receptacles 1.1 according to Fig. 4 can be kept particularly conveniently in a stack for subsequent individual packaging in an outer packaging with cushioning. On the other hand, stacking is also possible after removal from an outer packaging. Another very advantageous option for the arrangement according to Fig. 4 is that two or more receptacles 1.1 can be loaded in a stacked arrangement as bulk cargo in containers.

The blanks 10, 14, 15 are provided with a wave W, which forms a standing wave in the leg walls 11, 12, 110, 120, so that the seating edges 130 can bear particularly high loads. This is particularly advantageous for the stacking arrangement according to Fig. 4.

The receiving body 1 can be closed at its front sides with flap sections (not shown). However, it is particularly advantageous and practical to close the body 1 as shown in the

- 13-

described embodiments to leave it open at its front sides. The front edge parts 22 of the basin 2 can then protrude at the front sides of the body 1. In Fig. 7, a front padding that is particularly adapted for this purpose according to the invention and is advantageous is shown within an outer packaging 4 for individual shipping.

On the one hand, the previously described edge pads 3 are arranged on the long sides of the basin 2. These are conveniently made of layered corrugated cardboard layers. On the other hand, special pads 411 are provided on the end faces 41 of the outer box 4, which have significantly harder padding properties than the edge pads 31, 32. The pads 411 are advantageously made of soft wood fiber, which has particularly stable and firm padding properties.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the length L common to the rectangular leg walls of the receiving body 1 is equal to the corresponding internal dimension of the outer packaging 4 between its outer end walls 41.

As a result, the body 1 is snugly seated in the outer packaging 4. Rectangular recesses 122 are then provided on the outer edges of the cut of the inner body element 14, which shorten the inner leg walls 120. Likewise, the outer leg walls 110 and the web wall 150 of the outer body element 15 are provided on each end face with a recess 112 that runs through them and can be partially formed by a fold-down edge strip of the web wall 151. Such recesses are shown in Figs. 5 and 6. Corresponding recesses 112, 122

can be provided on the blank for the carding wall body element 10, as shown in dashed lines in Fig. 2.

The recesses create a receiving space with upper wall recesses in the leg walls 110, 120 on each upper front side of the receiving body 1 between this and the flat front wall 41 of the outer box 4. As can be seen from Fig. 7, the cushion 411, formed by a beam with a rectangular cross-section, is inserted into each receiving space in a form-fitting manner. The beam cushions 411 are longer than the narrow side of the web wall 151 or 141, so that they rest securely on the flat edge of the wall recesses.

The beam pads 411 protrude upwards over the upper wall edge of the leg walls 110, 120. They thereby form a buffer-like contact surface for the front edge parts 22 of the basin 2. In Fig. 7, the outer distance of the edge parts 22 corresponds approximately to the distance of the beam pads 411. However, basins 2 with a considerably shorter length can also be expediently inserted into such packaging. In this respect, according to the invention, when impact or falling forces occur, a displacement of the basin in the longitudinal direction is specifically permitted, which is then caused by overcoming the clamping force and is guided by the rail-like clamping grooves 131.

As shown in dashed lines in Fig. 7, instead of the beam pads 411, for example, the entire front wall of the outer packaging 4 can be provided with plate pads 412 made of soft wood fiber or similar material. The receiving body 1 is then located with the length L' in a snug fit between the front wall plate pads 412. In any case, it is essential that the front side pad 411,412 is made of a material that

- 15- gives it a considerably greater surface load capacity than the corrugated cardboard pads. The surface load capacity of the forehead pads 411,412 is expediently and advantageously approximately five times greater than that of the corrugated cardboard pads 3. The forehead pads are expediently cut and/or cast from soft fiberboards made from wood or similar material. This material has the required hardness on the one hand, while on the other hand it is sufficiently elastic to optimally absorb impact and shock forces introduced by the blunt, relatively sharp edge of the basin edge 22 in a spring-elastic manner.
