Abstract

The patent claim "package element" serves a number of purposes, inter alia the basic principle of restricting the packaging for different products to the essential minimum, and at the same time, in the case of different product groups, to eliminate disposable packaging with its environmental problems and to change over to reuseable packaging. These package elements are mainly manufactured from plastic by means of injection-moulding. The decisive difference from conventional packaging is that the goods to be packaged are not held all around as in a cardboard box or plastic container, but, as the name implies, held individually positioned as if on a tray. Extravagant and expensive packaging is rendered superfluous. In the case of stacking, the goods to be packaged bear the stack load. Handling of the elements is simpler, quicker and consequently cheaper than in the case of conventional packaging. Possible applications of this element are e.g. in the fields of the automobile supplier industry (automatic drawing off of technical parts), the food industry (replacement of disposable yogurt-trays), gardening etc. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verpackungstablett gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a packaging tray according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Tabletts dienen beispielsweise zum Transport und zur Lagerung von in Behältnissen verpackten Waren von Lebensmitteln bis hin zu Produkten des Gartenbaus.Such trays are used, for example, for the transport and storage of goods packed in containers from food to gardening products.

Bisher werden speziell im Bereich des Lebenmitteltransportes z. B. Molkereien in sogenannte Pappsteigen Einwegverpackungen eingesetzt. Es erfordert einen hohen Bedarf an Zellstoff = Holz und stellt zunehmend größere Anforderungen an die Abfallbeseitigung.So far, especially in the field of food transport. B. Dairies used in so-called cardboard crates disposable packaging. It requires a great deal of pulp = wood and places increasing demands on waste disposal.

Hier gilt es, diese Einwegverpackung mit ihren Folgeproblemen zu beseitigen und auf Mehrwegverpackungen umzustellen.Here it is important to eliminate this disposable packaging with its subsequent problems and to switch to reusable packaging.

Diese Erfindung geht von einem grundlegend anderem Prinzip aus. Herkömmlich sind die Behälter so konstruiert, daß das zu transportierende Gut von oben bzw. seitlich gehalten wird. Dieses setzt voraus, daß das in jedem Fall ein Behältnis sein muß, welches ein geschlossenen Boden und eine hohe Randausbildung hat.
Das Gut wird von dem seitlichen Rand oder als ganzes über einzelne Rippenfelder wie z. B. bei Bierkasten gehalten.This invention is based on a fundamentally different principle. Conventionally, the containers are designed so that the goods to be transported are held from above or from the side. This presupposes that this must in any case be a container which has a closed bottom and a high edge formation.
The material is from the side edge or as a whole over individual rib fields such. B. held at beer crate.

Dieser Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verpackung nach vorgenannter Art zu schaffen, die in diesen Wirtschaftszweigen vorherrschenden Einsatz von Einwegverpackungen abzulösen und dadurch Abfallprobleme zu minimieren. Weiterhin das Bestreben, die Mehrwegverpackungen durch diese leichtbauweise kostengünstiger zu erstellen, in der Handhabung zu vereinfachen und die Lager- und Rücktransportkosten durch minimalen Platzbedarf zu senken.This invention has for its object to provide a packaging of the aforementioned type, to replace the predominant use of disposable packaging in these industries and thereby minimize waste problems. Furthermore, the endeavor to create the reusable packaging more cost-effectively through this lightweight construction, to simplify its handling and to reduce the storage and return transport costs by taking up minimal space.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich aus dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruches 1.The achievement of this object results from the characterizing part of claim 1.

Im folgenden wird ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert.A preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings.

  • Figure 2 top view of a single field with a section of this area A / A

Das Tablett (10) ist als einstückiges Teil ausgebildet.The tray (10) is designed as a one-piece part.

Die gesamte Tablettfläche ist in einzelne Felder (15) je nach zu transportierendem Gut aufgeteilt.The entire tray area is divided into individual fields (15) depending on the goods to be transported.

Das Tablett (10) ist mit einem Rand (11) als Versteifung versehen, um ein verwerfen in der Gesamtfläche im Leerzustand zu verhindern.The tray (10) is provided with an edge (11) as stiffening to prevent warping in the entire area when empty.

Das einzelne Feld (15) dient der Ware als vorgegebener Standpunkt.The individual field (15) serves the goods as a given position.

Die Auslegung ist so, daß die Fläche des Feldes (15) mit Rippen (25) versehen ist, die miteinander verbunden sind. Diese bilden die Standfläche der Ware oder die des zu transportierenden Gutes.The design is such that the surface of the field (15) is provided with ribs (25) which are connected to one another. These form the footprint of the goods or that of the goods to be transported.

An den äußeren Enden werden sie (25) breiter ausgelegt, um die Lastverteilung von der oberen zur unteren Ware zu optimieren, in den meisten Fällen ist der Fuß der oberen Ware im Durchmesser kleiner als der Deckel oder das Oberteil der unteren Ware.At the outer ends, they are (25) wider to optimize the load distribution from the upper to the lower goods, in most cases the foot of the upper goods is smaller in diameter than the lid or the upper part of the lower goods.

Die Verbindung der Rippen (21) in der Mitte der Fläche (15) garantiert einen sicheren Stand.The connection of the ribs (21) in the middle of the surface (15) guarantees a secure stand.

Das gesamte Feld der Verrippung (21) der Fläche (15) ist gegenüber dem Rand der Fläche (15) und dem gesamten Tablett (10) um etwas eine Materialstärke des Tabletts nach oben gezogen. Hierdurch wird der Deckel oder das Oberteil der unteren Ware sicher positioniert.The entire area of the ribbing (21) of the surface (15) is pulled upwards by a material thickness of the tray relative to the edge of the surface (15) and the entire tray (10). As a result, the lid or the upper part of the lower goods is securely positioned.

Eine weitere Sicherung des festen Standes der Ware ist die Verrippung (16) zwischen den einzelnen Feldern (15), diese bilden gleichzeitig die Stützrippen um beim Ineinandersetzen ein verkeilen der oberen Stützen (20) zu verhindern.A further securing of the firm state of the goods is the ribbing (16) between the individual fields (15), which at the same time form the supporting ribs in order to prevent the upper supports (20) from wedging when they are placed one into the other.

Seitlich an der oberen Seite dieser einzelnen Fläche (15) sind hochstehende Stützen (20) angeordnet. Diese Stützen (20) und das Tablett (10) bestehen aus einem Stück.Upright supports (20) are arranged laterally on the upper side of this individual surface (15). These supports (20) and the tray (10) consist of one piece.

Sie dienen dazu die Ware festzuhalten und auf der Fläche (15) zu positionieren. Im oberen Drittel sind die Stützen (20) abgewinkelt, um Maßtolleranzen zu egalisieren.They serve to hold the goods and to position them on the surface (15). In the upper third, the supports (20) are angled to compensate for dimensional tolerances.

Die Durchbrüche (30) in der Fläche (15) dienen dazu, das gesamte Tablett (10) platzsparend ineinander setzen zu können. Die Form der Durchbrüche (30) hängt von der Anordnung der Stützen (20) ab.The openings (30) in the surface (15) serve to be able to place the entire tray (10) into one another in a space-saving manner. The shape of the openings (30) depends on the arrangement of the supports (20).
