Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packaging for the transport of dangerous goods such as chemicals or pharmaceuticals, toxic or flammable, etc. These hazardous materials in solid form and most often fluid, are packaged in containers such as bags, flasks or containers fragile which must be protected against impact.
  • the packaging provided for this purpose currently existing does not meet always the standards required for the transport of dangerous goods, with regard to relates in particular to impact resistance.
  • the known packages are of the type comprising a box of semi-rigid material, such as an American cardboard box, in which the containers are placed hazardous materials, and a bead or chip material, such as expanded polystyrene, distributed in the box and occupying the volume left between the containers and body walls.
  • a box of semi-rigid material such as an American cardboard box
  • a bead or chip material such as expanded polystyrene
  • French patent application No. 2,685,288 relates to cardboard packaging for fragile objects requiring protection against impact during transport.
  • This packaging includes a corrugated cardboard box of determined thickness in which is arranged a pair of shock absorbing bellows each consisting of a sheet of corrugated cardboard of determined thickness including a cutout allowing the nesting of the object to be protected in an opening formed by the lateral bands of the cutouts that hold objects laterally. This cut allows the constitution damping means in the vicinity of the bottom of the box.
  • the packaging includes besides an upper padding allowing to press in specific places the upper part of the object to be packaged. This rather complex packaging does not allow to pack as a unit object.
  • the subject of French patent application N ° 2 687 370 is packaging in cardboard for fragile objects, consisting of a rectangular parallelepiped box and an inner box formed by folding a cardboard blank having a central part rectangular, corresponding to the bottom of the inner box, and four sides lateral whose dimensions correspond substantially to the external dimensions of the object to be packaged.
  • the central part has, along each of these edges lateral, at least one cut delimiting centering tabs extending laterally the central part, this being delimited by pre-grooved lines extending between the tabs.
  • Such packaging is provided for an object having specific dimensions and cannot be used to package other fragile products of different dimensions.
  • Other packaging includes elements made of composite material shock absorption.
  • French patent application No. 2 607 112 describes packaging parallelepiped in semi-rigid material, consisting of three elements including one element forms an outer shell of rectangular section designed to fit two other elements each constituting a tube of rectangular section and being arranged one inside the other to form a receptacle together, the two open sides of the internal element being closed by two of the faces of the external element. Both elements forming the receptacle are covered on their internal faces with a layer of shock absorbing material so that after introduction of the receptacle into the shell, the packaging has four side faces each having a single thickness of shock absorbing material and upper and lower faces having a double thickness of shock absorbing material.
  • This packaging requires the use of a composite material and is not, for the transport of hazardous materials, probably not sufficient to wedge the containers.
  • Each separation element includes a layer of semi-rigid material and a large layer of flexible material and anti-slip on one or both sides of the layer of semi-rigid material.
  • This flexible and non-slip material is for example a synthetic foam.
  • the subject of European patent application No. 0 460 942 is packaging for the transport of heavy and fragile items, including a breathable bag, preferably made of highly resistant to rupture material (antistatic plastic), containing particles of light but relatively rigid material, preferably having a high compressive strength. These particles are polymer beads (polystyrene) expanded or blown or even vermiculite beads.
  • the object to package is surrounded by bags as described above, inside a container such than a cardboard box, so that the weight of the object and the pressure exerted on the bags, by closing the cover of the box, causes the evacuation of air by the microporous walls of the bags.
  • the particles inside the bags thus form a essentially rigid body molded to the shape of the packaged object.
  • the bags prevent therefore the object to move inside the container.
  • this packaging seems advantageous in the particular case of a single object to be packaged.
  • German utility model No. 87 14 830 also describes envelopes air permeable, welded together and comprising a filling material such than expanded plastic or vermiculite chips.
  • German patent application No. 35 34 706 relates to a material used as an accessory means for packaging, allowing the transport of fragile objects in protecting them from shock and pressure.
  • This material can absorb liquids in case leakage and has the property of being a thermal insulator.
  • This material includes expanded phyllosilicates (vermiculite, perlite or synthetic inert hair material), small amounts of an organic or inorganic binder and a foaming agent which increases the surface area of the binder and forms a high viscosity foam, increasing thus the absorption capacity of the originally simply expanded phyllosilicates.
  • This material requires a special preparation process and therefore increases the overall cost of a package compared to a composition filling material simpler.
  • French Patent No. 328,757 relates to a cardboard box with an interior module.
  • the invention aims to overcome all of the drawbacks encountered with the packaging of the prior art, described above.
  • the object of the invention is more particularly to provide packaging for the transport of dangerous and fragile materials, which has properties exceptional shock absorption or damping and meets the conditions required standards required in the transport of dangerous goods.
  • the invention also aims to provide a packaging which offers a double impact insulation for hazardous materials transported.
  • the invention also aims to provide a packaging for transport different containers, shape, material (glass, metal, plastic) and different volume (for example from 0.5 to 5 liters). A large mass can thus be transported.
  • the invention also aims to provide a packaging which can adapt to the number of containers it contains, in other words which has elements modular and convertible, unlike most packaging for transport of dangerous or fragile cardboard materials, which are intended for shape and a given number of articles or containers, most often unitary.
  • the packaging according to the present invention can be qualified as universal packaging.
  • the packaging according to the present invention combines the possibility of being able transport hazardous materials and be able to pack a variable number of containers, by combining a shock absorbing packaging element with a material specific granular timing.
  • the material of filling is expanded vermiculite in the form of grains whose particle size ranges from about 0.3 to about 8 mm, preferably from about 1 to about 6 mm.
  • each of the side walls of the module form with another adjacent side wall, a cross with small sides, the latter separating the side walls of the module from the walls of the body.

  • two side walls parallel of the module are respectively provided with at least one width flap substantially equal to half the distance between the two side walls parallel and preferably at most equal to the height of a side wall, the flaps can be folded 90 ° towards the inside of the module to close an upper side or bottom of the module.
  • the packaging comprises at least two stacked modules.
  • the American body and the module are made of semi-rigid material and more particularly in corrugated cardboard.
  • the cardboard plates constituting the box and the module are formed of a double groove suitable for impact resistance, in particular shock absorption.
  • An example of double groove includes a first groove layer with a thickness of about 5 millimeters and a second layer of groove with a thickness of about 7 millimeters. This groove is chosen from preferably for the plates constituting the body.
  • Another example of fluting includes a first layer of groove with a thickness of approximately 3 millimeters and a second layer of groove with a thickness of approximately 4 millimeters. This other groove can be used for modules.
