Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a transport unit according the preamble of claim 1 and 4 and a method of manipulating the wrapping foil.
  • a transport unit where a plurality of insulating panels are stacked in two or more stacks adjacent each other on mutually spaced support elements of a material suitable for use for insulation purposes.
  • the support elements may have different orientations relative to the position of the stacks.
  • the stacks of panels and the support elements are enclosed in a protective foil wrapping.
  • This wrapping also provides for a stable transport unit.
  • This transport unit is composed of insulating panels, e.g. 1000x600 mm or 2000x600 mm, length and width respectively, and it is lifted by normal lifting means, such as a lift fork. At the user's end, the panels may be cut into size before it is fitted into the building construction, e.g. a roof construction.
  • the fibrous material may alternatively be provided in rolls instead of stacked panels. Such rolls of insulation material are also wrapped with a wrapping foil in order to prevent the roll from unwinding and to protect the insulation material during transport.
  • the invention relates to a transport unit comprising a plurality of panels, said panels being stacked on support means, wherein the panels and the support means may be retained together by a wrapping foil surrounding them, or the transport unit comprising at least one roll of fibrous web material, in particular material for insulation purposes, wherein said roll may be stacked on support means, and wherein the at least one roll is retained together by a wrapping foil surrounding at least the fibrous material. It is irrelevant for the purpose of the invention how the foil is wrapped around the transport unit.
  • the foil may be used as a single sheet enveloping the panels and the support means, but may also be used as sheets enveloping the support means and the panels or stacks of panels separately.
  • the invention consists of a transport unit of the above-mentioned kind, wherein at least one drain aperture is provided in the lower portion of the wrapping foil or the portion in contact with the support means, or the portion where water accumulation is most likely to occur, and that the at least one aperture is provided by a treatment in the wrapping foil so that the aperture is reinforced along the rim of the apertures and if there is an overlap of layers of wrapping foil these are joined together along the rim or part of the rim of the apertures.
  • the treatment could be heat treatment, mechanical treatment or a chemical treatment, e.g. by use of an acid solution, or a combination of one or more of these treatments in order to achieve the same result.
  • a drain aperture is provided by “burning” or “etching” a relatively small hole in the plastic wrapping foil.
  • the overlapping layers of foil may be joined together by being melted together along the rim or part of the rim. This means that the holes in the individual layers of foil cannot be displaced relative to each other, which in turn means that the drain openings are not subsequently closed and the drainage function jeopardised.
  • a reinforced edge along the aperture or part of the aperture may be provided, which compensates for the tensile weakness, which would otherwise be occurring by providing a hole in the wrapping foil.
  • the panels are panels of fibrous insulating material, preferably stacked in at least one stack on support means consisting of mutually spaced support elements consisting of fibrous material suitable to be used for insulation purposes.
  • a roll of fibrous material is provided in the transport unit and the at least one roll is provided on support means consisting of mutually spaced support elements consisting of fibrous material suitable to be used for insulation purposes.
  • the at least one aperture is provided in the portion of the wrapping foil covering the support elements.
  • at least two apertures are provided in connection with each of the support elements.
  • the aperture(s) independently of how the foil is used shall be provided in the region or regions where water accumulation (water ponding) is most likely to occur. Often this occurs in the region near the support elements or in the lower region of the stack of panels, which faces the support elements.
  • the invention also relates to a method of making an aperture in a wrapping foil, preferably a polymeric foil, which is surrounding a stack of panels on support means in a transport unit by advancing a heated member into engagement with the wrapping foil and melting an aperture having a geometry corresponding to the shape of the engagement end of the tuberous member.
  • drainage may be accomplished by providing a cut or similar mechanical treatment in the foil, whereby the at least one aperture has a geometry corresponding substantially to the shape of the engagement end of the cutting means.
  • Drainage may also be accomplished by means of a chemical treatment in the foil, whereby the at least one aperture may acquire a random geometry but is big enough to allow for the evacuation of accumulated water.
  • the aperture provided by a heated member may be a generally round hole.
  • the heated member is preferably a tubular member with a generally circular or oval cross-section.
  • the aperture could also be provided by a laser.
  • the at least one aperture is circular, preferably with a diameter between 0.5 to 50 mm, more preferably between 5 and 30 mm and most preferably between 15 and 25 mm.
  • a large number of very small holes could be an alternative way of obtaining an equivalent result. Since the wrapping foil is usually wound around the fibrous material with an overlap and/or with a multiple of layers, by providing a substantially circular hole, the concentration of tensile stress around the hole it is kept low thus reducing the risk of damaging the wrapping foil.
  • the at least one aperture is a semi-annular opening leaving an uppermost connecting portion, so that a flap is provided which is connected to the wrapping foil.
  • the semi-annular opening is preferably semi-circular, elliptical, or similar smooth partially annular shape.
  • the opening preferably circumscribes 25-98% and more preferably 50-90% of a full circle.
  • This type of aperture may be provided by a method wherein the heated member is provided with an end section engaging the wrapping foil, which has a generally U-shaped or semi-circular shape.
  • the wrapping foil is multi-layered.
  • the heated member joins together a multiple of layers of polymeric wrapping foil along the rim of the apertures in a plastic welding process.
  • the apertures are provided by a heat welding treatment in a polymeric wrapping foil and that the layers of wrapping foil are joined together along the rim of the apertures.
  • the equipment for carrying out the method may be a portable equipment with an extendable heating member or equipment installed in the production line subsequent to the packaging line where the transport units are built and wrapped with the foil.
  • FIG 1 a transport unit comprising one or more stacks of panels 1, in particular panels of insulation material is shown.
  • the stack of panels 1 is supported on support elements 3 and wrapped in a protective wrapping foil 2, which also constitutes the retention means for retaining the panels 1 in their stacked position during transport.
  • the stack of panels 1 is placed on support elements 3 constituting the bottom side of the transport unit.
  • the transport unit further has a top surface, a front and rear surfaces and two surfaces.
  • the foil 2 is typically wrapped around the top and bottom and the side surfaces as shown in fig. 1.
  • the wrapping foil 2 also provides the retention of the stack during transport besides protecting the fibrous insulation panels 1.
  • the panels may be rectangular panels or wedge-shaped panels. As mentioned above, the fibrous material may alternatively be provided in rolls.
  • the support elements 3 are preferably made of fibrous material, which is suitable for insulation purposes.
  • the wrapping foil 2 encompasses both the panels 1 and the support elements 3.
  • apertures 4 are provided in the vicinity of each of the exterior comers of the support elements 3, for instance as shown in fig. 1.
  • the transport unit is shown in a side view. As indicated in this figure, the apertures 4 are positioned adjacent the exterior longitudinal sides of the support elements.
  • the apertures 4 may be circular as shown in fig. 2 or semi-circular as shown in fig. 3.
  • an aperture having a free opening is not necessary. It can be sufficient to have a slit, as it is the case with the embodiment having semi-circular apertures 4, see fig. 3.
  • the advantage of the aperture being a partially annular slit is that there are no blanks which are cut away from the holes and which must be removed. This makes the production of the apertures 4 easier as the need for tidying the production floor is reduced compared to making "full" holes.
  • the apertures 4 are produced by advancing a member 5, preferably a heated member, having at least a preferably heatable end section 6 towards the wrapping foil 2 at the position for the apertures 4.
  • the heated member 5 is advanced forward to engage the wrapping foil 2, which is supported by the support element 3 immediately behind the foil 2.
  • the aperture is melted through the foil or foils 2. Since the fibrous insulation material behind the foil is fire resistant, there is no danger of damaging the fibrous panels in the transport unit during the aperture-making process.
  • FIG. 7 is shown another embodiment of the invention, where the water accumulation region is at the bottom region of the stack of panels 1.
  • the stack of panels 1 is partially wrapped in a foil 2 and the support means 3 are separately wrapped in an additional foil 2'.
  • the support means 3 are at the upper surfaces of the support wrapping foils 2' adhesively attached to the wrapping foil 2.
  • the apertures 4 are provided in the lowermost region of the "panel stack" portion of the transport unit, as this is the most likely region for water accumulation.
  • the apertures may have different shapes. Accordingly, by the term circular is meant any annularly shape having a continuous curvature. Accordingly, elliptical, oval or other equivalent shapes are considered to be comprised in the term circular, as well as multi-edged holes which in practise have the same function. Furthermore, forces in the single or multiple layer foil may stretch it and thereby change the initial shape of any aperture.
