Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging for a substantially flat article.
  • the packaging includes a container that is larger than the article. More specifically the invention relates to a rectangular flat container for a stack of sheets or plates that are smaller than the container.
  • a container with a specific size may e.g. hold sheets of a first size, or sheets of a second size, or sheets of a third size. In this way, the required number of different packaging containers is reduced. This is especially interesting for less frequently called-for sheet sizes.
  • Fig. 1 shows a prior art container 10 having a base 11 and a cover 19 for the base.
  • the base 11 has a bottom 12 and side walls 13, 14, 15, 16.
  • shock-absorbing material 81 and 82 e.g. strips of foamed polyethylene.
  • a drawback is that the strips are cut manually, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming, and which generates dust and dirt.
  • a package for photosensitive material is disclosed according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein a packing bag is housed in a packing case.
  • the packing bag is stuck on the bottom part of the packing case with an adhesive.
  • Patent application EP-A-0 945 357 discloses, see Fig. 2, another prior art container 10 for packaging a substantially flat article 20 such as a stack of sheets.
  • the article 20 is retained from moving inside the container by a fixing element 30.
  • the stack of sheets may be enclosed in a pouch.
  • this packaging system is less labor-intensive and reduces packaging waste, attaching the fixing element 30 to the bottom 12 of base 11 is still time-consuming.
  • a substantially flat article which is preferably a stack of sheets or a stack of plates, is packed in a pouch.
  • the pouch is adhered by an anti-slip agent, such as a cold glue, to the substantially flat bottom of the base of a container, so that the bottom of the pouch cannot move with respect to the base of the container.
  • the pouch is preferably made of a flexible material, such as black-pigmented polyethylene.
  • the pouch usually does not enclose the article so tightly that it cannot move at all inside the pouch.
  • the article is packed so that it cannot bump into side walls of the container, but this may be realized by positioning the pouch far enough from the side walls.
  • the article may have some play inside the pouch, while damage to the article is still avoided.
  • the pouch When moving the container around, the pouch will remain attached to the bottom of the base of the container by the anti-slip agent. However, when holding the container upside down, the pouch will become detached if there is a large unfilled space between the pouch and the cover of the container, because the weight of the article in the pouch will then fully act substantially perpendicularly on the anti-slip agent. If the unfilled space is small enough, at least a portion of the weight of the article will rest on the cover of the container, because of e.g. the flexibility of the pouch and the play of the article in the pouch; in this way, the pouch will still remain attached to the bottom of the base of the container.
  • a filling piece may be positioned between the pouch and the cover of the container. This may be useful to reduce the unfilled space between the pouch and the cover of the container, in case the inner height of the container, between the cover and the bottom of the base of the container, is much larger than the height of the pouch.
  • the filling piece is attached to the cover of the container or to the top of the pouch. More than one filling piece may be used.
  • a "bottom" of a base of a container is the portion of the base that is used to support the pouch; possibly, one or more filling pieces may be attached to the base, so that at least one filling piece is used to support the pouch (see e.g. Fig. 7). These filling pieces are then considered to be part of the base; the bottom of the base is the portion of the base that is used to support the pouch.
  • a “substantially flat" bottom of a base is defined as follows.
  • a base is laid on a horizontal flat plane.
  • P is the point of the bottom that has, for all points of the bottom, the largest distance d p to the horizontal plane and Q is the point of the bottom that has, for all points of the bottom, the smallest distance d q to the horizontal plane.
  • the bottom of the base is substantially flat if the difference d p - d q is less than 10 % of the square root of the area of the bottom.
  • a base has a rectangular bottom of 400 mm x 100 mm.
  • a "substantially flat” article is an article having at least two substantially flat outer surfaces, the areas of these two substantially flat outer surfaces each being larger than each area of each other outer surface of the article.
  • an "anti-slip agent” in this document means an agent, such as a cold glue, that is applied either to the pouch bottom or to the bottom of the base of the container or to both so as to adhere the pouch to the bottom of the base of the container; when subsequently exercising a force on the pouch in a direction substantially perpendicular to the bottom of the base of the container, the pouch can easily be removed and the surfaces that were adhered to each other are not sticky after the removal of the pouch so that when the pouch is laid again onto the bottom of the base of the container, there is no adherent force any more.
  • Figs. 3 and 4 show a first embodiment of a packaging according to the present invention.
  • a substantially flat article 20 is enclosed by a pouch 21.
  • the article 20 may be a stack of sheets or a stack of plates, e.g. aluminum printing plates.
  • the sheets or plates may be sensitive to electromagnetic radiation or to heat (such as thermographic sheets or plates).
  • the pouch 21 is preferably made of black-pigmented polyethylene so as to shield the article from electromagnetic radiation; the pouch may however also be made of any other suitable material as known in the art.
  • the pouch 21 has - similar to an envelope - an overlapping back portion 29, that may be adhered by tape 27 to the main portion of the pouch.
  • the pouch bottom 22 of pouch 21 is adhered by an anti-slip agent 24 to the substantially flat bottom 12 of base 11 of container 10.
  • Fig. 4 is a cross-section of the first embodiment, along plane AA indicated in Fig. 3.
  • container 10 is shown open, in Fig. 4 it is closed, i.e. the cover 19 of the container is put onto the base 11.
  • Hp is the height of pouch 21, between the pouch top 23 and the pouch bottom 22.
  • H c is the inner height of the container, between the underside 18 of cover 19 and the substantially flat bottom 12 of base 11.
  • H c is determined when the container is closed and when it does not contain pouch 21 yet (in another embodiment, the pouch height H p may be larger than the inner container height H c ).
  • the pouch height H p may be larger than the inner container height H c ).
  • the dimension d of the unfilled space 26 is defined as the distance that the article 20 would be able to move, in the direction substantially perpendicular to the bottom 12 of base 11, if the pouch bottom 22 was not adhered to the bottom 12 of base 11 and if the closed container 10 is turned upside down.
  • the bottom 12 of base 11 of container 10 is substantially parallel to horizontal plane 31 and substantially perpendicular to arrow g which indicates gravity; cover 19 is above base 11 with respect to arrow g.
  • the bottom 12 of base 11 of container 10 is still substantially parallel to horizontal plane 31 but cover 19 is below base 11 with respect to arrow g.
  • Fig. 5 shows a cross-section of another embodiment, wherein a filling piece 25 is attached to the underside 18 of cover 19.
  • Fig. 6 shows a cross-section of yet another embodiment, wherein the pouch 21 is pressed against base 11 by cover 19.
  • Cover 19 is attached to base 11 by tape 28. Also in the other embodiments of the invention, cover 19 is preferably attached to base 11.
  • dimension d 0, i.e. there is no unfilled space 26.
  • Fig. 7 shows a cross-section of still another embodiment, wherein a filling piece 32 is attached to base 11 of container 10. As illustrated by Fig. 7, the bottom 22 of pouch 21 is adhered to the substantially flat bottom 12 of base 11 by anti-slip agent 24.
  • the anti-slip agent 24 is preferably water-based and solvent-free, for environmental reasons. It is preferred that the anti-slip agent has high shear strength and low tensile strength.
  • Anti-slip agents suitable for use in a packaging according to the invention are e.g. GRIP FIX TM SW 10/1 L and Haftkleber V200, both available from Helmut Rand GmbH, Neuhofen, Germany.
  • the base 11 and the cover 19 of container 10 are preferably made of cardboard; they may however also be made of any other suitable material as known in the art.
  • the container 10 has a cuboidal shape.
  • More than one pouch may be packed into a single container.
  • the lowermost pouch is adhered to the bottom 12 of base 11 by the anti-slip agent 24, as disclosed above, that the pouch on top of the lowermost pouch is adhered to the lowermost pouch by the anti-slip agent 24, etc., so that all pouches of the stack are adhered to each other.
  • a packaging according to the present invention has several advantages.
  • the packaging is affordable.
  • the container is reusable since the bottom of the base is not sticky after the removal of the pouch, nor is it damaged by removing the pouch.
  • the packaging method is ecological, convenient, requires little labor and reduces packaging waste. It is easy to automate.
  • Container Container, base and cover:
  • Anti-slip agent :
