Definitions
- the present invention relates to a modular packaging assembly.
- this invention relates to an assembly comprising a plurality of panels apt to be assembled for forming a packaging container, each panel of said plurality of panels comprising a covering sheet and a framework.
- such packaging containers consist of wooden cases. These are made of panels that are arranged so as to form a substantially parallelepipedal-shaped container, each panel forming a wall thereof. Cushioning means can be housed inside such cases in order to cushion the impacts of the packaged product with the panels of the case itself.
- Contiguous panels forming the case are connected among them with traditional connecting means, such as nails, screws and/or hinges.
- Some cases further provide the application of metal profiles at the edges of the case itself, for stiffening it and connecting the panels among them.
- plastic and/or metal cases are known, such as the ones disclosed in WO 9215506 and DE 4218408.
- Such plastic and/or metal cases have a structure analogous to that of the aforementioned wooden cases.
- both the wooden cases and the plastic and/or metal ones have to be designed and manufactured for each specific dimension of the product to be packaged. This entails a complication in the manufacturing process of the cases themselves, as well as a considerable expenditure. Owing to that, such cases are often manufactured in a certain number of standard formats only, unavoidably entailing a non-optimal packaging of products having intermediate dimensions between those of two subsequent standard formats.
- the packaging cases presently adopted do not achieve an optimal compromise between the case weight and the strength thereof.
- GB 1,147,172 relates to a container body comprising a framework, made up of lengths of metal joined by joining members apt to be inserted into said lengths, and sheet material rivetted to the framework.
- FR 1.433.566 discloses a closet having a framework, made up of tubular elements and of connecting elements receiving the ends of the tubular elements, and wood panels fixed externally to the framework by threaded members.
- the technical problem underlying the present invention is that of providing a modular packaging assembly allowing to overcome the drawbacks hereto mentioned with reference to the known art.
- the present invention provides some relevant advantages .
- the aforesaid reversible fixing means of the framework allows to form modular panels that are easily adjustable to the dimensions of the product to be packaged, thus simplifying the manufacture of the panel itself, and therefore of the packaging container as a whole.
- the light metal framework provides strength and stability to the panel, thereby enabling to obtain an optimal compromise between the weight of the packaging container and the strength thereof.
- a modular packaging assembly is globally indicated with 1.
- Such assembly comprises a plurality of panels, apt to be assembled to form a packaging container.
- Each panel comprises a covering sheet 21 and a framework 22, made of a light metallic material, to support the covering sheet 21 and connect the panels of the aforesaid plurality among them.
- the framework 22 comprises rods, each indicated with 221, and joints interposed among such rods 221.
- the joints and the rods 221 are interconnected with reversible fixing means 3, as it will be disclosed hereinafter in greater detail with reference to Figure 2.
- the packaging assembly 1 comprises six panels, apt to be assembled into a substantially parallelepipedal-shaped packaging container.
- each panel is apt to form one wall of the aforesaid packaging container.
- the covering sheet 21 of each panel is substantially shaped as a flattened parallelepiped, and therefore has two front dimensions larger than the thickness thereof. It is apparent that the shape of the covering sheet 21, also determining the shape of the related panel, may vary in order to meet the specific packaging and/or transportation requirements.
- the covering sheet 21 can be made of various materials. Preferably, it will be made of a light material, e.g., plastics. In case of standard packaging, a panel of honeycomb polypropylene may be used, of a thickness suiting the strength requirements of the packaging itself.
- the covering sheet 21 can be made of honeycomb Aluminium. This material ensures a suitable strength to shearing/torsional stresses as well as to shocks, together with fire-proof properties.
- the covering sheet 21 can be of a so-called sandwich-like layer structure.
- this can be made of one inner polyethylene layer and two outer Aluminium layers.
- the thickness of the covering sheet 21 will be comprised in the interval between 2 and 15 mm, more preferably, in the interval between 4 and 12 mm. More preferred embodiments provide such thickness to be of 5 mm, 9 mm or 12 mm.
- the covering sheet may also be made so as to have heat insulation or soundproof properties, or peculiar optical or anti-burglary properties. Further, wooden covering sheets can be provided as well, in order to satisfy specific aesthetic requirements.
- the shape, also the material, the thickness and the colour of the covering sheet will be determined by the specific requirements of the type of product to be packaged, and by the transportation modalities thereof.
- two or more covering sheets of different materials can be juxtaposed in the same panel.
- different thicknesses and/or materials of the covering sheet can be provided for different panels of the same packaging container.
- the bottom panel 25 can have a covering sheet 21 of sheet metal, increasing the strength thereof and making it suitable to the application of handling devices to the packaging container.
- handling devices will be disclosed in greater detail in the following.
- Each covering sheet 21 is connected to the framework 22 by reversible connecting means.
- reversible connecting means can be connection means of a traditional type, such as, e.g., screws and corresponding seats, or sections of biadhesive tape. Interchangeability of the covering sheets is highly useful, since this, together with the packaging assembly modularity, allows a reuse of the same framework for the packaging and the transportation of products having different packaging needs, as it will also be appreciated hereinafter.
- the joints have tongue ends 225.
- the rods 221 have grooves 224, each hollow-shaped and apt to receive a corresponding tongue end 225. Therefore, each groove 224 of a rod 221 and the corresponding tongue end 225 of a joint form the reversible fixing means 3 between the rod 221 and the related joint.
- each rod 221 can easily be manufactured in the shape of a tubular member, therefore hollow, and thus said grooves 224 can consist merely in the two end portions of the tubular member itself.
- the assembly 1 provides grooves 224 and tongue ends 225 having substantially equal cross sections.
- anyone of the tongue ends 225 of anyone of the joints is apt to be inserted in anyone of the grooves 224 of anyone of the rods of the assembly 1, according to a logic of complete interchangeability of the rods 221 and of the joints, thereby providing a complete modularity of the assembly 1 itself.
- the joints and the rods 221 have a substantially quadrilateral cross section.
- alternative embodiments may provide different shapes.
- the rods develop along a substantially rectilinear path.
- both the rods and the joints may have configurations differing from the ones hereto described.
- a first joint 222 is substantially L-shaped. Such first joint 222 is apt to be located at one vertex of the related panel, as indicated in Figure 1.
- a second joint 223 is instead substantially T-shaped. Such second joint 223 is apt to be located on the related panel in an intermediate location between two vertexes of the packaging container, as indicated in Figure 1.
- the rods 221 and the first joints 222 of a panel form a frame located over the entire perimetral surface of the related covering sheet 21.
- the second joints 223 enable the stiffening of the panel even at the intermediate areas thereof, allowing the positioning of the rods 221 transversally to and/or lengthways the panel itself.
- the rods 221 are solely located transversally to the covering sheet 21, i.e., parallely to a smaller front dimension thereof. This positioning allows an effective panel stiffening.
- such rods 221 can be located lengthways the covering sheet 21, i.e., parallely to a larger front dimension thereof.
- both longitudinal and cross rods can be provided, connected by substantially cross-shaped intermediate joints.
- rods 221 could be located according to an even spacing, as in the side panels 24 of Figure 1, or according to a variable spacing, as in the front panel 27 of Figure 1.
- Packagings having different strengths to mechanical stresses can be obtained by varying the texture of the rods 221, as well as the section thereof and the section of the joints 222, 223.
- joints with a merely rectilinear profile can be provided, hence having two aligned tongue ends 225, for connecting, e.g., two rods 221 aligned along the same side of the panel.
- rods 221 and the joints 222, 223 of the framework 22 can be extruded.
- rods 221 and joints 222, 223 are made of Aluminium or of an alloy thereof.
- the joints can have a plastic outer covering sheathing the inner metallic core.
- preservatives can advantageously be applied onto the framework 22 and/or the covering sheet 21.
- the use of a skeleton, made by the framework 22, allows an easy fixing of covering sheets 21 of various materials and properties.
- the fact that the framework 22 is made of metal eases the implementation of the reversible connection between the covering sheet 21 and the framework 22 itself.
- the framework 22 can easily be prearranged for using traditional reversible connecting means, such as screws and the like. For instance, suitable seats such as evenly spaced threaded holes can be machined into the framework.
- the framework 22 also implements a fixed connection between contiguous panels.
- the panels apt to make contiguous walls of said parallelepipedal-shaped packaging container can be fixedly connected with closure systems.
- closure systems are susceptible of different embodiments, possibly coexisting within the same packaging assembly. For instance, in the present embodiment, three embodiments of the aforesaid closure systems coexist, as it will be illustrated hereinafter.
- a first closure system is of the lever type, and it is preferably used for connecting the side panels 24, the front panel 27, or the rear panel 28 with the top panel 26.
- lever closure systems are connected to the panel framework with traditional reversible connecting means, e.g., screws and the like, likewise what described for the covering sheets 21.
- traditional reversible connecting means e.g., screws and the like
- Two possible embodiments of such lever closure system are represented in Figures 3A and 3B, respectively.
- a first lever closure system comprises a first member 41 fixed to one of the two panels to be connected, in particular to the top panel 26, with traditional reversible connecting means. More specifically, such first member 41 will be fixed to a rod or to a joint of the top panel 26.
- the lever closure system 4 comprises a second member 42, movable with respect to the first member 41.
- such second member 42 is rotatably connected to the first member 42 by a hinge 43.
- Such second member 42 is apt to be gripped and rotated by a user, in order to be accommodated into a seat, e.g., on a side panel 24, and in particular on a rod or a joint thereof. Due to this rotation the top panel 26 is fixed to the side panel 24.
- FIG. 3B A second embodiment of a lever closure system is shown in Figure 3B.
- This second lever closure system here indicated with 5, comprises an elongated body, also indicated with 5, hinged to one of the two panels to be connected, particularly on the side panel 24. More specifically, the elongated body 5 is hinged to a rod or joint of the side panel 24.
- the elongated body 5 has a hook-shaped end 51.
- the elongated body 5 is apt to be gripped and rotated by a user, in order to put the hook-shaped end 51 into a seat of a rod or joint of the framework 22 of the top panel 26, forming a reversible coupling therewith. Therefore, by virtue of such connection, the top panel 26 is fixed to the side panel 24.
- first and second lever closure system 4, 5 implement a reversible connection between two panels of the packaging container.
- a third type of closure system is provided as well, illustrated in Figure 3C.
- This third type of closure system simply consists of traditional reversible connecting means, indicated with 6, them also applied at the framework 22 of the panels at issue.
- connecting means 6 can be threaded inserts and/or bolts, e.g., made of steel, and corresponding seats.
- said connecting means 6 will be applied to fixedly connect the side panels 24, the front panel 27, the rear panel 28 and the bottom panel 25.
- closure systems may be provided for the aforesaid closure systems, possibly differing for the dimensions of the packaging container and to the required strengths.
- sliding hinges can be adopted in lieu of fixed ones, as well as key-locks, spring couplings, and so on. Since all of those closure systems are of a traditional type and well-known to a person skilled in the art, a further description thereof will be omitted.
- closure systems can be applied at the metal framework of the panels.
- said framework can easily be prearranged for the use of traditional connecting means.
- the closure systems can easily be mounted and removed should this be required.
- Those steps can be carried out with great ease, using traditional tools, e.g., a corkscrew.
- such closure systems do not come into contact with the covering sheet of the panel, typically more wearable, thereby preventing the damaging of the latter.
- the packaging assembly 1 can also comprise one or more handling devices.
- handling devices can be of a traditional type, based e.g. on the use of wheels, stackers, forklift clutches, and general hoisting couplings.
- FIGS 4A, 4B and 4C each show an embodiment of a wheeled handling device. Such embodiments are indicated with 71, 72 and 73, respectively.
- the one or more handling devices may be permanently fixed to the packaging assembly, and particularly to the framework 22 of the bottom panel 25, e.g. by welding.
- such handling devices just like the aforementioned closure systems, will advantageously be removable when required.
- each handling device is fixable to the packaging assembly 1 with reversible connecting means of a traditional type, comprising suitable seats formed onto the panel framework, as hereto illustrated.
- the packaging assembly of the present invention is fully modular, being therefore extremely versatile and effective, allowing the implementation of a wide range of assembly combinations.
- the materials used for the framework and the covering sheets such combinations are anyhow light and easy to handle, even for large-sized packagings.
- the aforesaid assembly combinations can provide the application of removable accessory components like the aforesaid closure systems and handling devices, and/or transportation hooks, impact absorbing systems, pallet tiles and so on.
