Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un article de conditionnement de transport (1) et à un procédé de fabrication dudit article. Ledit article (1) est constitué par une palette de transport (2) et un conteneur souple (6) fixé à ladite palette. La palette (2) appartenant audit article de conditionnement de transport présente l'avantage d'être constituée par deux plaques profilées (3, 4) et par un ou plusieurs éléments de support (5). Le conteneur souple (6) et les pièces appartenant à la palette (2) sont entièrement fabriqués à partir de matériaux pouvant être traités dans une machine de pulpe à papier, tels que du papier ou du carton et, de ce fait, l'article de conditionnement se dégrade biologiquement si on le jette ou peut se recycler dans la fabrication d'un article analogue.The invention relates to a transport packaging article (1) and to a method for manufacturing said article. Said article (1) consists of a transport pallet (2) and a flexible container (6) fixed to said pallet. The pallet (2) belonging to said transport packaging article has the advantage of being constituted by two profiled plates (3, 4) and by one or more support elements (5). The flexible container (6) and the parts belonging to the pallet (2) are entirely made from materials which can be processed in a paper pulp machine, such as paper or cardboard and, therefore, the article packaging degrades biologically if it is thrown away or can be recycled in the manufacture of a similar article.

Description

SHIPPING PACKAGE AND METHOD FOR ITS FABRICATION
The present invention relates to a shipping package and a method for fabricating said package.
The importance of packaging has grown with the expansion of industrial production. The package does not anymore serve as a mere wrapper of the product, but rather, new requirements are posed every day for the performance of the package. The development of packaging is principally guided by the application of the package as well as the needs and restrictions set by the product to be packaged. The former of these factors forces the development of packaging technology toward a more dedicated package and improvement of its specific properties. Such a development is, for instance, a shipping package which must offer easy handling, high durability and rigidity. However, the own weight of the shipping package should be as light as possible, and the storage space requirements of the empty package should be minimized. A noteworthy aspect is also therein that the major share of packages being disposable one-time use items themselves, their disposal and possible recycling must be considered, which necessitates aiming toward improved environmental compatibility of the package.
Conventionally known shipping packages are different kinds of cardboard boxes and special packages developed thereof for specific needs. Reference is made to prior-art technology in SE patent publication 212,705, SE publications 366,958, 7801330-7 and 8103510-7 for laying open a patent, and FR patent publication 7526072. A common property of the above- mentioned packages of cc ventional technology is the application and development of a cardboard box into a shipping package. In addition to that, known from the prior art techniques is the fabrication of fabric-based flexible intermediate bulk containers, FIBCs, made of natural or plastic-fiber woven material in volumes from 500 to 1500 1. An FIBC is assembled from parts cut in different ways from the woven material by sewing the FIBC together using corner stiffeners, support belts, etc. The fabric-based container body can also be fabricated by weaving it as, for example, a braided hose which is then cut and sewn to form the container. The above-described steps often lead to implementations with a complicated structure resulting in additional manufacturing costs of the package.
It is an object of the present invention to overcome the above-described drawbacks. The characterizing properties of the shipping package and method for its fabrication are disclosed in the enclosed claims. The implementation according to the invention achieves above all a lightweight yet stiff structure featuring a weight rating in excess of 1000 kg. The structure according to the invention is approx. 15...30 % lighter than a similarly rated shipping package made using conventional techniques. Furthermore, the package according to the invention is uncomplicated and advantageous to fabricate. The pallet of the shipping package is assembled from shaped plates and advantageously reinforced with support elements which are inserted in channels specially designed into the pallet. The flexible intermediate bulk container forming a part of the shipping package is fabricated in a bag machine and its bottom essentially covers the upper surface of the pallet belonging to the shipping package, said flexi¬ ble container having a total volume of approx. 500...1500 1. Said flexible container and the parts belonging to the trans¬ portation pallet are advantageously combined into the ship- ping package by stapling and/or gluing the parts together.
The essentials of the invention are that the package in entirely made of materials that can be processed in a pulper such as paper and cardboard, whereby the package can be either safely disposed of by biological degradation or by recycling of the package material in the package fabrication process. The shipping package according to the invention offers particular benefits such as, for instance, compatibility with waste treatment processes in which the shipping package can be safely disposed of along with other waste. Furthermore, the shipping package is advantageously usable for the transportation and storage of dry bulk material such as powdered or granulated products. The integral pallet forms a lifting platform for the shipping package that simplifies the handling of the shipping package and thus facilitates the use of different types of lifting equipment such as a fork lift, pallet lift, etc.
In the following the invention is examined in greater detail with the help of an exemplifying embodiment by making reference to attached drawings, in which
Figure 1 shows an advantageous embodiment of the package according to the invention,
Figure 2 shows the cross section of the package according to the invention.
Fabricated from a paper and cardboard-based material that can be processed in a pulper, the shipping package shown in Fig. 1 comprises a pallet 2 and a flexible container 6. The pallet 2 is advantageously formed from two shaped plates 3 and 4, complemented with support elements 5 for the reinforcement of the shipping package 1. The bottom of the pallet 2 is produced by shaping the plate 3 so that channels 7 are formed for the insertion of the support elements 5, which also act as the feet of the shipping package 1. The ends of the plate 3 are folded over the channel 7 to form a cover 11. To provide a ground clearance essentially equal to pallet area, between the channels 7 is formed an area 9 that can accommodate the forks of a lifting equipment such as a fork lift or pallet lift. The plate 4 is folded to form the upper surface of the pallet 2 so that elevated walls 8 are formed to the upper surface of the pallet 2 for the purpose of supporting the flexible container 6 and, between the walls 8 is formed the top plane 10 of the pallet 2 to which plane the flexible container 6 is attached.
Figure 2 shows the cross section of the pallet 2 illustrating the manner in which the support elements 5 are inserted to the channels 7 of the pallet 2 (only the center channel 7 is shown in the diagram) . The support elements 5 can be placed in desired order in the channels 7 either vertically or horizontally with respect to the shipping package 1, whereby the length of the support element 5 is determined by the manner of insertion.
For those versed in the art it is evident that the different embodiments of the invention are not limited by the example package described above, but instead, can be varied within the claims of the invention.
