Abstract

A packaging case is described which preferably consists of a single-piece corrugated cardboard blank. Attached to the inside of the blank (1) is a multilayer, inflatable plastic-film cushion (12) which is closed upon itself. The cushion (12) consists of a plurality of chambers (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18) which are in air-permeable communication with one another. At least one of these chambers has a closable air inlet nozzle (19). For packing objects in this case, said objects are firstly placed in the case and the cushion is then inflated. Due to the increase in volume thus achieved, the cushions wrap themselves around the objects and hold them securely against slipping.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine insbesondere aus Wellpappe be­stehende Verpackungskiste, die aus einem vorzugsweise ein­teiligen Zuschnitt hergestellt worden ist.The invention relates to a packaging box consisting in particular of corrugated cardboard, which has been produced from a preferably one-piece blank.

Derartige Kisten sind bekannt und werden in großem Umfange verwendet. Um die unterschiedlichen Verpackungsgüter darin festzulegen und gegen Beschädigung beim Transport zu schützen, ist es bekannt, die verbleibenden Freiräume, welche von den Gütern nicht ausgefüllt werden, mit Säge­spänen, Kunststoffschnittseln, insbesondere Schaumpolysty­rolschnittseln zu füllen. Des weiteren ist es bekannt, aus Kunststoffen, insbesondere Schaumpolystyrol, ganze Ver­packungsblöcke herzustellen, in welche Hohlräume eingeformt sind, die den zu verpackenden Gegenständen exakt angepaßt sind und die zur Aufnahme dieser Gegenstände dienen.Such boxes are known and are used on a large scale. In order to fix the different packaging goods therein and to protect them against damage during transport, it is known to fill the remaining free spaces which are not filled by the goods with sawdust, plastic chips, in particular foam polystyrene chips. Furthermore, it is known to produce entire packaging blocks from plastics, in particular foam polystyrene, into which cavities are formed, which are precisely adapted to the objects to be packaged and which serve to hold these objects.

Die vorbekannten Verpackungsarten sind in mehrfacher Hin­sicht aufwendig. Insbesondere wenn zum Ausfüllen der ver­bleibenden Hohlräume Schaumkunststoffe, beispielsweise Schaumpolystyrol, verwendet wird, müssen verhältnismäßig große Mengen von wertvollen Rohstoffen für diese doch eigentlich untergeordneten Zwecke eingesetzt und verbraucht werden. Aber auch unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Lagerhaltung sind die vorbekannten Verpackungen aufwendig, da die auf Vorrat zu haltenden Volumina an Verpackungsmaterial groß sind. Auch die Entsorgung bereitet große Probleme und be­lastet die Umwelt.The known types of packaging are complex in several ways. In particular, if foam plastics, for example foam polystyrene, are used to fill the remaining cavities, relatively large amounts of valuable raw materials have to be used and consumed for these actually subordinate purposes. But also from the point of view of warehousing, the known packaging is expensive because the volumes of packaging material to be kept in stock are large. Disposal also poses great problems and pollutes the environment.

Um diesem Übelstand abzuhelfen ist bereits vorgeschlagen worden, vor dem Verpacken in die gesondert hergestellte Verpackungskiste einen aufblasbaren Folienbeutel aus einer Kunststoffolie, beispielsweise Polyethylen einzusetzen. Nach dem Einlegen des Beutels und der zu verpackenden Gegenstände wird der Beutel aufgeblasen, und füllt dabei die verbleibenden Hohlräume zwischen den zu verpackenden Gegenständen weitgehend aus. Es handelt sich bei dieser Verpackungsart zweifellos um einen Fortschritt, insbe­sondere im Hinblick auf die Einsparung wertvoller Rohmate­rialien. Dennoch verbleibt auch dieser Lösung ein erhebli­cher Nachteil, der insbesondere in der getrennten Lager­haltung der Verpackungskisten einerseits und der Folien­beutel andererseits besteht. Auch ist der Arbeitsaufwand beim Füllen der Kiste beträchtlich, da aus den meist flach angelieferten Wellpapp-Zuschnitten zunächst die Kiste auf­gerichet und in diese die Folienbeutel eingelegt werden müssen.In order to remedy this problem, it has already been proposed to use an inflatable film bag made of a plastic film, for example polyethylene, before packaging in the separately produced packaging box. After inserting the bag and the ones to be packed Objects are inflated into the bag and thereby largely fill the remaining voids between the objects to be packaged. This type of packaging is undoubtedly a step forward, particularly in terms of saving valuable raw materials. Nevertheless, this solution also remains a considerable disadvantage, which consists in particular in the separate storage of the packaging boxes on the one hand and the foil bags on the other. The work involved in filling the box is also considerable, since the box, which is usually supplied flat, is first used to erect the box and the film bags must be inserted into it.

Der Neuerung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verpackungs­kiste vorzuschlagen, die mit einem Minimum an Arbeitsgängen aufgerichtet und gefüllt werden kann und bei der auch der erforderliche Lagerplatz für die Aufbewahrung der unge­füllten Kisten gering ist. Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird vorgeschlagen, daß von einem vorzugsweise einteiligen Zu­schnitt für die Verpackungskiste, der beispielsweise aus Wellpappe, Karton o.dgl. bestehen kann, ausgegangen wird und daß auf der Innenseite des Zuschnittes ein mehrlagiges in sich geschlossenes aufblasbares Polster aus Kunst­stoffolie befestigt ist. Soll ein derart beschaffener Zu­schnitt zur Kiste aufgerichtet werden, so sind nur wenige Handgriffe erforderlich, die gegebenenfalls auch auto­matisiert werden können. Nach dem Aufrichten liegt sogleich der fertige Verpackungsbehälter vor, der mit Gütern gefüllt werden kann. Nach dem Füllen ist das Polster lediglich noch aufzublasen und der gesamte Füllvorgang ist beendet. Der vorgeschlagene Verpackungsbehälter beansprucht in flach­gelegtem Zustand wenig Lagerraum, er ist schnell aufzu­richten und zu füllen und kann nach Gebrauch als Ganzes durch Verbrennen beseitigt werden.The innovation is based on the task of proposing a packaging box that can be set up and filled with a minimum of work steps and in which the storage space required for storing the unfilled boxes is also small. To solve this problem it is proposed that a preferably one-piece blank for the packaging box, for example made of corrugated cardboard, cardboard or the like. can exist, is assumed and that on the inside of the blank a multi-layer self-contained inflatable cushion made of plastic film is attached. If a blank of this type is to be erected into the box, only a few steps are required, which can also be automated if necessary. After erection, the finished packaging container is immediately available and can be filled with goods. After filling, all you have to do is inflate the cushion and the entire filling process is complete. The proposed packaging container takes up little storage space in the flat state, it is quick to erect and fill and can be removed as a whole after use by burning.

Zur Herstellung einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird vorgeschlagen, daß das Polster aus mehreren Kammern be­steht, die untereinander in luftdurchlässiger Verbindung stehen. Wenigstens eine dieser Kammern ist mit einem ver­schließbaren Lufteinlaßstutzen ausgerüstet. Zum Füllen wird das Füllgas, meist Preßluft an dieser Stelle eingeleitet und verteilt sich dann gleichmäßig in allen miteinander zusammenhängenden Polsterkammern.To produce a preferred embodiment, it is proposed that the cushion consists of several chambers which are in air-permeable connection with one another. At least one of these chambers is equipped with a closable air inlet socket. For filling, the filling gas, usually compressed air, is introduced at this point and is then distributed evenly in all interrelated upholstery chambers.

Zur Erhöhung der Sicherheit wird vorgeschlagen, daß das Polster aus drei Folienlagenß besteht, die an ihren Rändern ziehharmonika-artig miteinander verbunden sind. Durch diese Anordnung wird ein großvolumiges Polster erzeugt, welches sich leicht auch in kleinere Zwischenräume zwischen den Verpackungsgegenständen einlegt. Die ziehharmonika-artige Befestigung der Folien aneinander bewirkt zudem, daß das Polster auch in den Randbereichen, also in unmittelbarer Nähe der Kistenwände hinreichend stark aufblasbar ist.To increase safety, it is proposed that the cushion consists of three layers of film which are connected to one another at their edges in an accordion-like manner. This arrangement creates a large-volume cushion, which can easily be placed in smaller spaces between the packaging items. The accordion-like attachment of the foils to one another also means that the cushion is sufficiently inflatable in the edge areas, ie in the immediate vicinity of the box walls.

Bei mehreren, übereinanderliegenden Kammern kann das untere Kammersystem mit einem eigenen Aufblasstutzen ausgerüstet sein. Dieser Stutzen wird nach dem Einleiten von Gas oder Luft z.B. durch Umfalten und Festkleben auf seiner Karton-­oder Wellpapp-Unterlage verschlossen. Die darüber angeordnete weitere Kammer, evtl. auch mehrere, sind mit einem weiteren Aufblasstutzen ausgerüstet. Es entstehen auf diese Weise wenigstens zwei übereinander angeordnete Luft­polsterkissen, die zu einer sicheren und weichen Abpolste­rung der verpackten Gegenstände führen.If there are several chambers one above the other, the lower chamber system can be equipped with its own inflation nozzle. This nozzle is after the introduction of gas or air e.g. sealed by folding and gluing it onto its cardboard or corrugated cardboard base. The further chamber arranged above, possibly also several, are equipped with a further inflation nozzle. In this way, at least two air cushion cushions are arranged one above the other, which lead to a safe and soft cushioning of the packed objects.

Die eingeblasene Luft verteilt sich in den jeweils oberen Kissen so, wie dies in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist. Nach Be­endigung des Füllvorganges schließen sich die Luftdurch­trittsöffnungen selbsttätig mit Hilfe der Folienklappen 20.The air blown in is distributed in the respective upper pillows as shown in FIG. 2. After the filling process has ended, the air passage openings close automatically with the aid of the film flaps 20.

Die Grundflächen der Kammern entsprechen vorzugsweise je­weils der Fläche ihrer Wellpappunterlage und sie können durch stellenweise Verbindung untereinander der Form der zu verpackenden Gegenstände angepaßt sein. Diese Verbindung der Folien untereinander kann durch Punkt- oder Linien­schweißen der oberen mit der mittleren Folie erzeugt wer­den, so daß letztendlich das obere Polster ein ähnliches Aussehen hat wie die bekannten Möbelpolster im Bereich ihrer Heftknöpfe. Da die Anordnung dieser Verbindungen punktförmig oder linienförmig in beliebiger Weise erfolgen kann, ist hierdurch die Möglichkeit eröffnet, auch auf­blasbare Folienpolster individuell den Formen der zu ver­packenden Gegenstände anzupassen.The base areas of the chambers preferably each correspond to the area of their corrugated cardboard base and they can be connected to one another to form the shape of the base packing objects to be adapted. This connection of the foils to one another can be produced by spot or line welding of the top foil with the middle foil, so that ultimately the top pad has a similar appearance to the known furniture pad in the area of its stitching buttons. Since the arrangement of these connections can be punctiform or linear in any way, this opens up the possibility of also individually adapting inflatable film cushions to the shapes of the objects to be packaged.

Die Gesamtanordnung der Folienkammern im Kunststoff-­Schlauch wird vorzugsweise so getroffen, daß die Schweiß­nähte, welche die Kammern des Folienpolsters begrenzen, im Bereich der Knickstellen des Zuschnittes liegen. Die Schweißnähte nehmen indes nicht die gesamte Länge der Knickstellen des Zuschnittes ein, sondern sie lassen Durchlaßstellen frei für die Aufblasluft. Diese Anordnung ist aus den bereits erwähnten Gründen vorteilhaft, da dann nämlich nur Preßluft an einer einzigen Stelle in das Ge­samtpolster eingeblasen werden muß, welche sich über die erwähnten Durchlaßstellen im gesamten Polster verteilen kann. Des weiteren wird vorgeschlagen, daß im Bereich der Durchlaßstellen Folienklappen angeordnet sind, die die Durchlaßstellen unter der Wirkung des Gewichtes der ver­packten Teile verschließen. Ein Folienpolster, welches mit derartigen inneren Folienklappen ausgerüstet ist, kann leicht aufgeblasen werden; die Klappen sorgen indes nach Art von Rückschlagventilen dafür, daß die einmal eingelei­tete Luft selbsttätig nicht wieder entweichen kann.The overall arrangement of the film chambers in the plastic tube is preferably made such that the weld seams which delimit the chambers of the film cushion lie in the region of the kinks of the blank. The weld seams, however, do not take up the entire length of the kinks of the blank, but they leave passages free for the inflation air. This arrangement is advantageous for the reasons already mentioned, since only compressed air then has to be blown into the entire cushion at a single point, which can be distributed over the aforementioned passage points in the entire cushion. Furthermore, it is proposed that foil flaps are arranged in the area of the passage points, which seal the passage points under the effect of the weight of the packaged parts. A foil cushion, which is equipped with such inner foil flaps, can be easily inflated; the flaps, however, ensure that the air which has been introduced cannot escape again in the manner of check valves.

Der Neuerungsgegenstand wird im folgenden anhand der bei­gefügten Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es stellen dar:

  • Fig. 1 eine perspektivische Ansicht eines flachgelegten und teilweise wieder aufgerichteten Zuschnittes mit eingeklebter oder eingeschweißter Polsterfolie;
  • Fig. 2 eine Draufsicht auf eine Ausführungsform eines flachgelegten Zuschnittes;
  • Fig. 3 eine Einzelheit aus dem Bereich der Folienklappen.
The subject of innovation is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawing. They represent:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a flat and partially erected blank with glued or welded cushion foil.
  • 2 shows a plan view of an embodiment of a flat blank;
  • Fig. 3 shows a detail from the area of the film flaps.

Der in Fig. 1 dargestellte Zuschnitt besteht aus einer Wellpappbahn 1, die durch Rillungen 2,2′,2˝ in insgesamt vier Felder 3,4,5 und 6 unterteilt ist. Die Felder sind jeweils noch in an sich bekannter Weise mit Seitenlappen 7 ausgerüstet, die über Rillungen klappbar mit den Feldern verbunden sind und die voneinander durch Einschnitte 8 getrennt sind. Ein derartiger Zuschnitt läßt sich leicht in der in Fig. 1 angedeuteten Weise zur Kiste zusammensetzen, wobei dann die Kante 9 des in der Zeichnung links darge­stellten Feldes auf die Kante 10 des rechten Feldes stößt und mit Hilfe des dort angeformten Streifens 11 durch Kleben festgelegt werden kann.The blank shown in Fig. 1 consists of a corrugated cardboard 1, which is divided by creases 2,2 ', 2˝ in a total of four fields 3,4,5 and 6. The fields are each equipped in a manner known per se with side tabs 7, which are foldably connected to the fields via grooves and which are separated from one another by incisions 8. Such a blank can easily be assembled in the manner indicated in FIG. 1 to form a box, in which case the edge 9 of the field shown on the left in the drawing abuts the edge 10 of the right field and can be fixed by means of the strip 11 formed there by gluing can.

Neuerungsgemäß ist auf der Innenseite des Zuschnittes (Wellpappbahn 1) ein mehrlagiges aufblasbares, in sich ge­schlossenes Polster 12 aus Kunststoffolie befestigt. Die Befestigung kann dabei durch Schweißen oder Kleben oder auf beliebige andere Art geschehen. Fig. 1 läßt erkennen, daß das Polster 12 aus mehreren Kammern 13,14,15 und 16 be­steht, deren Grundfläche im dargestellten Fall im wesent­lichen der Grundfläche der Felder 3,4,5 und 6 entspricht. Fig. 1 läßt weiter erkennen, daß an die Felder 14 und 16 noch jeweils weitere Kammern 17,18,21 und 22 angeformt sind, welche im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel etwa rechtwinklig aus der Fläche des Zuschnittes herausragen.According to the innovation, a multi-layer inflatable, self-contained cushion 12 made of plastic film is attached to the inside of the blank (corrugated cardboard web 1). The attachment can be done by welding or gluing or in any other way. Fig. 1 shows that the cushion 12 consists of several chambers 13, 14, 15 and 16, the base area of which corresponds essentially to the base area of the fields 3, 4, 5 and 6 in the case shown. Fig. 1 also shows that additional fields 17, 18, 21 and 22 are formed on the fields 14 and 16, which protrude approximately at right angles from the surface of the blank in the illustrated embodiment.

Wenigstens eine der Kammern, im dargestellten Ausfüh­rungsbeispiel die Kammer 17, weist einen verschließbaren Lufteinlaßstutzen 19 auf, über den das gesamte Polster aufgeblasen werden kann. Diese zusätzlichen Seitenkammern sollten etwas länger sein als die zugehörigen Wellpapp-Felder, damit sie im zusammengelegten Zustand der Kiste einander überlappen.At least one of the chambers, chamber 17 in the exemplary embodiment shown, has a closable air inlet connection 19, via which the entire cushion can be inflated. These additional side chambers should be slightly longer than the associated corrugated cardboard fields so that they overlap when the box is folded.

Des weiteren wird vorgeschlagen, daß das Polster 12 aus mehreren, vorzugsweise drei Folienlagen besteht, die an ihren Rändern ziehharmonika-artig miteinander verbunden sind. Die Schweißnähte, welche die Kammern 13-18 des Folienpolsters begrenzen, sind vorzugsweise im Bereich der Knickstellen des Zuschnittes angeordnet, also im Bereich der Rillungen zwischen den einzelnen Feldern. Wie bereits gesagt, befinden sich im Bereich der Schweißnähte auch Durchlaßstellen für die Aufblasluft. Im Bereich dieser Durchlaßstellen können Folienklappen 20 angeordnet sein, die die Durchlaßstellen unter der Wirkung des Gewichtes der verpackten Teile nach dem Füllen mit Preßluft verschließen.It is further proposed that the cushion 12 consists of several, preferably three, layers of film which are connected to one another at their edges in an accordion-like manner. The weld seams which delimit the chambers 13-18 of the film cushion are preferably arranged in the region of the kinks of the blank, that is to say in the region of the creases between the individual fields. As already mentioned, there are also passage points for the inflation air in the area of the weld seams. In the area of these passages, foil flaps 20 can be arranged which close the passages under the effect of the weight of the packaged parts after filling with compressed air.
