Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packaging for fluorescent ring lamps each of a blank sheet material, preferably Corrugated cardboard, which by folding along crease lines and by inserting or Adhesive connections in a lamp that at least partially covers the respective lamp and protective, flat cover with two the lamp between them including flat sides has been deformed.
  • Lamps in particular ring lamps
  • ring lamps are known, see DE 28 24 549 A1, Fig. 3. These are individual packaging of lamps in so-called folding boxes for shipping and sales. It is already one Nest packaging for a 32W and a 40W ring lamp known (SYLVANIA spec. No. 51A-1902-429), in which both lamps are in one Corrugated cardboard sleeve inserted and then the distance between the two lamps is fixed from each other by manually pressing in several tabs. The lamps can only be sold together in this nest packaging offered, a single packaging is not available; will this Removed the nest packaging from one of the lamps, the removed lamp is without Packaging.
  • the object underlying the invention is seen in a To create packaging for lamps, preferably ring lamps, at which the individual lamps are also individually packed in appropriate sleeves, however, these sleeves can be put together so that there is a stable and space-saving overall packaging results from which the individual Have ring lamps removed with their individual packaging without the Consistency of the remaining overall packaging is impaired.
  • the packaging according to the invention advantageously ensures that from the assembled overall packaging every single packaging, too the largest, without affecting the other packaging can be removed when the smaller packaging in turn can be attached to each other without any of the individual packaging damaged or otherwise affected.
  • the overall packaging is practically not larger and does not take up more volume than that for the largest lamp required packaging or casing, which is a very considerable saving Storage and transport volume means.
  • the medium-sized envelope instructs towards the small shell when it is inserted into the large shell Flat side also has a recess, the shape and size of the shape and Size of the small shell adapted and also for strength and / or positive reception of the latter is provided, such that the three Ring lamps essentially concentric with each other and essentially in to be arranged on one level.
  • the smaller lamp and the cover use the free one Space inside the larger lamp and cover.
  • each shell suitably consists of one rectangular punched out piece of material that is perpendicular to its longitudinal axis has transverse fold lines, with two first fold lines through their respective distance a first, possibly a recess limit the flat side of the casing and two further fold lines in run parallel to it at a distance corresponding to the shell thickness and form two end sections of the blank, which after folding along the Kink lines overlap each other and after gluing or joining together define a second flat side of the envelope, which in the case of the large Shell also has a recess.
  • Such a shell is open on two opposite sides, however, this is advantageous in that the lamp contained therein is visible becomes. At least in the case of the large envelope you can see the edges of the blank and thus make the width of it a little larger so that the edges of the Cover form a touch protection for the lamp. In the case of the smaller ones, in this is the large envelope used with its smaller lamps less important, since the lamps per se after inserting them in the big one Cover are fully protected and only after removal from the large shell become visible in the same way.
  • the medium-sized and the smaller can be attached to these stop areas Packaging sleeve on opposite flat sides of the large sleeve easier to grasp and remove from it, otherwise reinsert.
  • the invention thus ensures a particularly space-saving transport in addition to storage of the lamps arranged in such an overall packaging, otherwise, of course, a correspondingly advantageous presentation at Final vendor.
  • the removal of one of the three lamps and the envelope from the Overall packaging according to the preferred embodiment with three Ring lamps do not affect the integrity of the rest of the packaging, more precisely said:
  • the removal of the small lamp and cover leaves the medium-sized one Lamp and cover in its holder in the large lamp and cover untouched and vice versa.
  • Even if the overall packaging is the big envelope along with the associated lamp, the other two, of course Lamp packaging must be solved first, the latter then put them back together in their original position, the advantages described remain in this case.
  • the device shown is used for packaging lamps, in particular Fluorescent ring lamps 1, 2 and 3 (Fig. 1), each from a blank 4, 5, 6th (Fig. 2, 4 and 5) sheet material, preferably corrugated, which by folding along fold lines and plug-in or adhesive connections in one the respective lamp 1, 2, 3 at least partially covering and supporting, flat envelope 7, 8, 9 with two the lamp 1, 2, 3 enclosing between them Flat sides 10, 11 or 12, 13 and 14, 15 has been deformed.
  • lamps in particular Fluorescent ring lamps 1, 2 and 3 (Fig. 1), each from a blank 4, 5, 6th (Fig. 2, 4 and 5) sheet material, preferably corrugated, which by folding along fold lines and plug-in or adhesive connections in one the respective lamp 1, 2, 3 at least partially covering and supporting, flat envelope 7, 8, 9 with two the lamp 1, 2, 3 enclosing between them Flat sides 10, 11 or 12, 13 and 14, 15 has been deformed.
  • a plurality of shells 7, 8, 9 are now different Size for receiving lamps 1, 2, 3 also of different sizes provided, the largest shell 7 on their two flat sides 10, 11 in their Dimensions adapted to the dimensions of envelopes 8, 9 smaller size Recesses 16, 17 for the positive and / or positive reception of the same having.
  • at least one smaller shell 8, 9 is in each side Volume of the larger shell 7 can be used, such that in the assembled Condition the volume of the largest shell 7 practically not total packaging exceeding several individual packages or -shells 7, 8, 9 is formed, from which each individual packaging without Impairment of the remaining individual packaging can be seen, as in Fig. 1 indicated.
  • the ring lamp 1 has the largest diameter receiving large shell 7 on its one flat side 10 in shape and Size to the shape and size of the ring lamp 2 medium size Diameter-receiving medium-sized shell 8 adapted first Recess 16 for receiving the medium-sized shell 8, as well as on it other flat side 11 in shape and size to the shape and size of the adapted the ring lamp 3 small diameter receiving small envelope 9 second recess 17 for receiving the small shell 9.
