"Reinforcement element for a stack of products in one relatively stiff packing "

As is well known, the application is spreading more and more of packs, which consist of a relatively stiff carrier, i.e. mostly a cardboard or plastic carrier, and an This rigid support are made of attached transparent material, the transparent material either a certain Exhibits rigidity or is very pliable and pliable. In the latter case, the space between the two packing parts connected to one another in this way is more or less evacuated. In the case of the aforementioned, by the way particularly useful packs, The question arises of their easy, expedient and economical grouping, and in many cases the advantages of such packages do not offset the disadvantages with regard to the inevitable use of a suitable grouping agent to outweigh.

The present invention is now set the task of such an extremely simple, very light and special to create appropriate grouping means that also have all the advantages of an economic commercial series

production and an almost completely systematic application. The system according to the invention exists for this purpose from a simple reinforcement or stiffening element for stacked products in a relatively stiff pack, thereby characterized in that it consists of a U-shaped hook element, the two equally high side legs of which are provided with a hook-shaped extension at their free end.

It is a single, double or multiple device consisting of one or more hook elements of the aforementioned type.

The distance between the side legs of the element according to the invention corresponds approximately to one of the transverse dimensions of the packaged product in the stack to be reinforced or stiffened.

An extremely specialized application of the system according to the invention relates, for example, to reinforcement of windshield wiper packs, the windshield wipers being packed according to the system mentioned at the beginning.

The dimensions of the element according to the invention are Extremely variable according to the type and size of the packaged products in question. This also applies to the shape of the element according to the invention, which in terms of size and shape for the most varied of designs according to the one used in each case Material and the intended applications in question came

The element according to the invention consists mostly of a piece of plastic.

The characteristics and advantages of the inventive

'33837618.4.74

Systems emerge clearly from the following detailed description of practical examples. These Description given without any restrictive intention takes place on the basis of the accompanying drawings, where

Figure 1 shows a reinforcing element according to the invention in its simplest form echematically;

the figure 2 the element according to the invention which Figure 1 shows in a fully charged state within a schematic diagram}

Figure 3 is a front view of a double element according to the invention, for example for the reinforcement of the Stack of wiper packs schematically shows |

the figure shows the double element according to figure 3 in a fully charged state; and

Figure 5 shows the fully charged double element fcemfiss according to the invention of the figure »* in a perspective view.

As can be seen from Figure 1, the reinforcing or stiffening element according to the invention consists in its simplest form of a U-shaped bracket 1, both of which are the same high side legs 2 and 3 are provided at their free end with a hook extension 4 and 5, respectively. The distance D between them both side legs 2 and 3 is one of the transverse dimensions of the pack, for the reinforcement of which the element is intended is to choose.

The two hook processes · »and 5 are coaxial uftä directed inwards *

mentioned element according to the invention reinforced relatively rigid package of a stack 1 of random products, the Representation is as largely schematized as possible. The distance H between the transverse part 7 and the hook-shaped extensions> t and S is preferably approximately ο a multiple of the height of the packed Product stack.

Of course, several elements 1 can also be used to reinforce a stack of products. Figures 3, H and I relate to the application of the System according to the invention for the reinforcement of a ν ^ steadily stiff packing of two windshield wiper stacks.

In this case the distance D between the two outer legs is lr. 2 and 3 slightly larger than double the Ahmtandea required for reinforcing a single stack. Between these outer legs 2 and 3 is one on the transverse part 7 fastened inner or intermediate legs 8 provided with a hook head 9 are provided «The outer legs 2 and 3 and the Inner or intermediate legs 7 preferably have a T-foranges Profile with the twofold advantage of the lowest possible weight and excellent mechanical strength under normal stress. The pack of the ones shown schematically here Windshield wiper 10 consists of a relatively stiff wall 11 and a transparent film material 12, in which Pack a certain vacuum prevails. The width of the aforementioned relatively stiff wall 11 is somewhat smaller the smallest distance between the inner thigh 8 and the outer thigh 2-3. In the present case there is reinforcement d »* Doppelstap«! · from two «inventions BRcmists EI« s «nt« i, νί- before

everything can be seen in Figure 5.

Thanks to the peculiarity and the relatively limited Transverse dimensions of the respective stacked packs for the reinforcement of the stack a certain amount of leeway is available, which is the flexibility of the reinforcement element and thanks to the stacked packs.

It should be emphasized that the invention. Reinforcement element, despite its simple design, is particularly suitable for known reinforcement or stiffening means, such as tapes, boxes, sacks and the same to replace.

It should also be noted that the inventive Element leaves the packs reinforced with it undamaged and, moreover, can be reused in many cases.

Tests have shown that, for example, the amplification of a double stack consisting of about ten windshield wipers offers great advantages in formation, treatment and resolution of the stack.

The invention relates not only to the reinforcement element described above in and of itself as a new industrial one Product, but also on all stack reinforcements or stack stiffeners made with the elements according to the invention.
