Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein zylindrisches Versandrohr nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a cylindrical shipping tube according to the preamble of claim 1.

Zylindrische Versandrohre haben die Eigenschaft, bei ihrer Handhabung abzurollen. Insbesondere für den Postversand stellt ein zylndrisches Versandrohr erhebliche Probleme dar, nicht nur, weil es keine definierte Position einnimmt, und damit eine elektronische Sortier- und Prüfanlage Schwierigkeiten hat, das Versandrohr während des Transportes in eine definierte Position zu bringen, damit das Auslesen der Informationen sicher gewährleistet ist, sondern weil für das sichere Auslesen der Informationen auch eine plane Fläche erforderlich ist, die zum Aufbringen einer Versandinformation geeignet ist.Cylindrical shipping pipes have the property to unroll when handling. In particular, for the mailing a Zylndrisches shipping tube is a significant problem, not only because it does not occupy a defined position, and thus an electronic sorting and testing system has difficulties to bring the shipping tube during transport in a defined position, so that the reading of the information is certainly guaranteed, but because for the safe reading of the information, a flat surface is required, which is suitable for applying a shipping information.

Diese Schwierigkeiten lassen sich dadurch vermeiden, dass derartige Versandrohre mit einer quadratischen oder rechteckigen Querschnittsform anstelle einer kreisrunden Querschnittsform ausgestaltet werden. Für den Versand von gerolltem Versandgut ist jedoch eine innere Zylinderform unverzichtbar.These difficulties can be avoided by designing such shipping tubes having a square or rectangular cross-sectional shape instead of a circular cross-sectional shape. For the shipment of rolled goods, however, an inner cylindrical shape is indispensable.

Aus DE 201 05 528 U1 ist ein zylindrisches Versandrohr mit Abrollsperre und Stapelvorrichtung bekannt, das mit einem Umhüller bzw. einer Hülle mit mehreckiger Form verbunden ist, der bzw. die das Versandrohr in Längsrichtung eng umschließend umgibt, und die Hülle ein Kartonzuschnitt mit einer Länge entsprechend etwa der Länge des Versandrohres ist. Die Hülle ist dabei ein Karton- oder Pappezuschnitt, der Biegelinien oder Schwächungsstellen für das Aufstellen der Hülle mit Mehreckform hat. Eine Steck- oder Klebelasche ist an einem Ende des Zuschnitts ausgebildet, und mindestens eine der Hüllen-Innenflächen weist eine Klebestelle dort auf, wo das Versandrohr in Kontakt mit der Hülle steht.Out DE 201 05 528 U1 is a cylindrical shipping tube with roll-off and stacking device is known, which is connected to a wrapper or a sleeve with polygonal shape surrounding the shipping tube in the longitudinal direction tightly enclosing, and the shell a carton blank with a length corresponding to about the length of the shipping tube is. The envelope is a cardboard or cardboard blank that has bending lines or weakening points for setting up the envelope with polygonal shape. A male or female tab is formed at one end of the blank and at least one of the sleeve inner surfaces has a splice where the shipping tube is in contact with the sleeve.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist, Versandrollen in herkömmlicher zylindrischer Form mit einer für den Versand bestimmten Vorrichtung zu versehen oder auszubilden, bei der die Position der Versandrolle in jeder Lage stabilisiert ist und stets die richtige Zuordnung einer vorbestimmten Position der Versandrolle in Bezug auf eine Erkennungsvorrichtung in einer Sortieranlage oder dergl. gewährleistet ist.The object of the invention is to provide or form mailing rollers in a conventional cylindrical shape with a device intended for shipping, in which the position of the mailing roller is stabilized in every position and always the correct assignment a predetermined position of the mailing roller with respect to a recognition device in a sorting plant or the like is ensured.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass der Umhüller einen rechteckigen Querschnitt aufweist, wobei die Schmalseite des quaderförmigen Umhüllers dem Durchmesser der Versandrolle entsprechend ausgelegt ist, und dass die Dimension der Breitseite des Quaders der Abmessung des Aufklebers entspricht, der die für den Versand erforderlichen Adressen-, Leit- und Gebühreninformationen und dergl. aufnimmt.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the wrapper has a rectangular cross section, wherein the narrow side of the cuboid wrapper is designed according to the diameter of the mailing roller, and that the dimension of the broad side of the cuboid corresponds to the dimension of the sticker, that for shipping required address, routing and charge information and the like. Accommodates.

Die Breitseite des quaderförmigen Umhüllers muss dabei nach den Vorschriften der Post in den Abmessungen so ausgelegt sein, dass der Aufkleber auf einer planen Fläche aufgeklebt bzw. befestigt ist, so dass der Umhüller zur Aufnahme eines zylindrischen Versandrohres mit relativ kleinem Durchmesser nicht mit quadratischem, sondern mit rechteckförmigem Querschnitt ausgebildet wird, wobei die größere Dimension des Rechteckquerschnittes der Aufkleber-Abmessung entsprechend ausgelegt wird.The broad side of the cuboid envelope must be designed according to the rules of the post in the dimensions so that the sticker is glued or fixed on a flat surface, so that the envelope for receiving a cylindrical shipping tube with a relatively small diameter not with square, but is formed with a rectangular cross-section, wherein the larger dimension of the rectangular cross-section of the sticker dimension is designed accordingly.

Damit wird erreicht, dass das zylindrische Versandrohr eine äußere Quaderform erhält, so dass der die Versandinformationen aufnehmende Aufkleber auf einer planen Fläche angeordnet ist und die Erkennungsschaltung der Sortieranlage die Informationen des Aufklebers eindeutig auslesen kann. Des weiteren wird damit erreicht, dass das zylindrische Versandrohr selbst in dem Umhüller festgelegt wird und Umhüller und Versandrohr sich beim Transport nicht voneinander lösen. Hierzu wird der Klebestreifen auf der Bodenfläche des Umhüller-Zuschnittes aufgebracht, durch eine Abziehfolie bedeckt, beim Einsetzen des zylindrischen Versandrohres in den Umhüller die Abdeckschicht abgezogen und das Versandrohr auf dem Streifen Klebstoff, der sich über die gesamte Länge des Umhüller-Bodens erstrecken kann, angedrückt und festgelegt.This ensures that the cylindrical shipping tube receives an outer cuboid shape, so that the shipping information receiving sticker is arranged on a flat surface and the detection circuit of the sorting system can read the information of the sticker clearly. Furthermore, it is achieved that the cylindrical shipping tube itself is set in the wrapper and wrapper and shipping tube do not come apart during transport. For this purpose, the adhesive strip is applied to the bottom surface of the Umhüller blank, covered by a release liner, deducted when inserting the cylindrical shipping tube in the envelope the cover layer and the shipping tube on the strip adhesive, which can extend over the entire length of Umhüller-bottom pressed and fixed.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die schmale Deckseite des quaderförmigen Umhüllers an beiden Endabschnitten als Schwenkklappe ausgebildet, die nach unten geklappt sich gegen die Oberkante des Versandrohres anlegt und das Versandrohr arretiert. Zwischen der Oberkante des im Quader mittels Klebestreifen festgelegten Versandrohres und der Deckseite des quaderförmigen Umhüllers besteht somit ein Leerraum, der durch die am vorderen und am hinteren Ende ausgebildeten Schwenkklappen verschlossen wird, wobei die Klappen aus dem Zuschnitt so dimensioniert gestanzt sind, dass das freie Ende der Schwenkklappen mit dem Umfang des Zylinderrohres in Eingriff steht und eine Arretierung bildet.In a further embodiment of the invention, the narrow top side of the cuboid envelope is formed at both end portions as a pivoting flap, which folded down against the upper edge of the shipping tube applies and locks the shipping tube. Between the upper edge of the delivery tube defined in the block by means of adhesive strips and the top side of the parallelepiped wrapper thus has a void which is closed by the pivot flaps formed at the front and rear ends, the flaps being stamped from the blank so dimensioned that the free end of the pivot flaps engages the circumference of the cylinder tube and forms a lock.

Die Positionierung des Versandrohres im quaderförmigen Umhüller wird weiter dadurch verbessert, dass die Schwenkklappen an ihren Seitenrändern vorstehende Nasen aufweisen, die in Schlitze in den Seitenwänden des Quaders eingreifen, wenn die Klappen nach unten geschwenkt werden, bis die freie Kante der Klappe auf dem Versandrohr aufsitzt. Zweckmäßigerweise sind die die Nasen aufnehmenden Schlitze in den Seitenwänden des Quaders in einem kleinen Winkel α zur Vertikalen nach hinten geneigt, und die Klappe wird zum Einrasten der Nasen in die Schlitze um einen Winkel von 90° + α geschwenkt. Eine derartige Anordnung kann am vorderen und am hinteren Ende des Quaders und des Versandrohres vorgesehen sein, so dass die Schwenkklappe an zwei Stellen sperrend auf dem Versandrohr aufsitzt und damit eine sichere Festlegung des Versandrohres erreicht wird. An ihrem freien Rand ist die Klappe vorzugsweise gekrümmt ausgebildet. Diese Krümmung ist der Umfangskrümmung des Versandrohres angepasst, so dass das freie Ende der Schwenkklappe das Versandrohr auf einem Teilabschnitt des Umfanges umschließt und die Bewegung des Versandrohres in axialer Richtung sperrt.The positioning of the shipping tube in the cuboid envelope is further enhanced by the fact that the pivot flaps have at their side edges projecting lugs which engage in slots in the sidewalls of the cuboid when the flaps are pivoted down until the free edge of the flap is seated on the shipping tube , Conveniently, the lugs receiving slots in the sidewalls of the cuboid are inclined rearwardly at a small angle α to the vertical, and the flap is pivoted to engage the tabs in the slots by an angle of 90 ° + α. Such an arrangement may be provided at the front and at the rear end of the cuboid and the shipping tube, so that the pivoting flap is seated in two places blocking on the shipping tube and thus a secure fixing of the shipping tube is achieved. At its free edge, the flap is preferably curved. This curvature is adapted to the circumferential curvature of the shipping tube, so that the free end of the pivoting flap surrounds the shipping tube on a portion of the circumference and blocks the movement of the shipping tube in the axial direction.

Eine derartige Sperrwirkung zwischen quaderförmigem Umhüller und Versandrohr kann alternativ auch dadurch erreicht werden, dass das freie Ende der Schwenkklappen, das mit dem Versandrohr in Anlage kommt, als Klebeverbindung ausgebildet wird, so dass für den Versand die Schwenkklappe mit dem Versandrohr durch eine Klebelinie bzw. eine an der Schwenkklappe befestigten Flansch mit Klebefläche als Sicherungselement verbunden ist.Such a blocking effect between parallelepiped Umhüller and shipping tube can alternatively be achieved in that the free end of the pivoting flaps that comes into contact with the shipping tube, is designed as an adhesive bond, so that for shipping the pivoting flap with the shipping tube by an adhesive line or a fixed to the pivot flap flange with adhesive surface is connected as a fuse element.

Der Abstand der Seitenwände 16, 17 entspricht dem Durchmesser des Versandrohres 10, so dass das Versandrohr 10 von den Seitenwänden und der Bodenwand des Umhüllers festgelegt ist. An den beiden Enden des Umhüllers 11 sind vordere und hintere Schwenkklappen 16, 17 ausgebildet, deren Schwenklinien den vorderen und hinteren Abschluss der Deckwand 15 bilden. Die Schwenkklappen 16, 17 weisen Nasen oder dergl. Verriegelungselemente 18, 19 auf, die mit schlitzartigen Öffnungen 20, 21 in den Seitenwänden 13, 14 des Umhüllers 11 beim Verschwenken der Schwenkklappen nach unten in Eingriff kommen. Die Nasen 18, 19 sind Ausstanzungen am Zuschnitt, die in der Ebene der Schwenkklappen ausgebildet sind und beim Verschwenken der Schwenkklappen nach abwärts in die Schlitze 20, 21 der Seitenwände einrasten.The shipping tube 10 is a conventional packaging container made of cardboard, cardboard or the like, which receives rolled material and protects it against damage during shipping. The shipping tube 10 is enclosed by a cuboid envelope 11, which is a one-piece carton blank and consists of a bottom 12, side walls 13, 14, top wall 15 and front and rear pivoting flap 16, 17. The distance of the side walls 16, 17 corresponds to the diameter of the shipping tube 10, so that the shipping tube 10 is fixed by the side walls and the bottom wall of the envelope. At the two ends of the envelope 11 front and rear pivoting flaps 16, 17 are formed, whose pivot lines form the front and rear end of the top wall 15. The pivoting flaps 16, 17 have lugs or the like. Locking elements 18, 19 which engage with slot-like openings 20, 21 in the side walls 13, 14 of the envelope 11 during pivoting of the pivoting flaps downwards. The lugs 18, 19 are cutouts on the blank, which are formed in the plane of the pivoting flaps and engage in the pivoting of the pivoting flaps downwards into the slots 20, 21 of the side walls.

Die freie Außenkante der Schwenkklappen 16, 17 ist jeweils mit einer teilkreisförmigen Rundung bzw. Aussparung 22 versehen, deren Krümmung der Krümmung der Außenfläche des Versandrohres 10 angepasst ist, so dass der Eingriff zwischen Schwenkklappe und Versandrohr über einen Teil des Umfangs des Versandrohres stattfindet und damit ein Sperreingriff zwischen beiden erreicht wird.The free outer edge of the pivoting flaps 16, 17 is each provided with a part-circular rounding or recess 22 whose curvature of the curvature of the outer surface of the shipping tube 10 is adjusted, so that the engagement between the pivoting flap and shipping tube over a portion of the circumference of the shipping tube takes place and thus a locking intervention between the two is achieved.

Auf der Innenseite des Bodens 12 des Umhüllers 11 ist eine durch eine Klebeschicht 23 (streifenförmig oder punktförmig) aufgebracht, die durch eine Abziehfolie 24 geschützt ist. Diese Abziehfolie wird entfernt, wenn das Versandrohr 10 in den Umhüller 11 eingeführt wird. Das Versandrohr 10 wird nach dem Einsetzen an den Boden und damit an die mittige Klebeschicht 23 angedrückt.
