Definitions

  • the invention concerns packaging for despatching objects generally, especially computers and similar machines, difficulties frequently arising over transporting these and other types of electronic and electric equipment used in offices and homes.
  • a weak point in the parallelepipedly-shaped cardboard or foam packaging materials generally used, is particularly noticeable round the edges, even though it is just the edges that are most likely to receive blows and become damaged during transport.
  • JP 2000085846 uses panels of corrugated cardboard for packing purposes.
  • This patent comprises a tubular U-shaped frame into which the object to be protected will be placed, said frame consisting of a sheet of corrugated cardboard, the ends of whose side are repeatedly bent back onto each other.
  • This double bending of the sides of the sheet of corrugated cardboard creates approximately two chambers in the two longitudinal ends of the U-shaped frame; said chambers, of a rectangular cross section, are joined by an intermediate sheet, their longer sides lying parallel to be object to be protected.
  • a pair of opposite angular bodies are placed inside the U-shaped frame, one on either side of the object to protect, said angular bodies having a double wall similarly created by their edges being bent over.
  • the packaged object is thus protected by double walls formed by the terminal chambers in the frame, as well as by the chambers created by said angular bodies.
  • the whole is placed in a box also made of corrugated cardboard.
  • the purpose of the subject invention is to ensure protection of an object during transport using simple means requiring only a few operations as will be explained here below.
  • the invention reduces these drawbacks at the same time ensuring adequate protection at the most vulnerable points by the use of simple and inexpensive means as will now be explained.
  • Each pair of tubular elements is made of corrugated cardboard comprising a rectangular central piece, internal sides, first narrow sides, broad intermediate sides, second narrow sides, broad external sides.
  • Each tubular element is formed by progressive 90° bends inwards of the internal sides, of the first narrow sides outwards, of the intermediate sides of the second narrow sides and of the external sides inwards to the point where the external sides become superimposed over the internal sides.
  • the external sides are then glued onto the internal sides.
  • the external sides are fixed to the internal sides by suitably shaping the matching parts to be fitted together.
  • Width of the intermediate and external sides is greater than the width of the internal sides so that the intermediate wall connecting the two tubular elements creates, on one face, a space having a squared U-shaped cross section, the sides of which are longer than those of the squared U-shaped space created on the other face of said intermediate wall, corresponding to the areas of the external sides that are not covered by the internal sides.
  • Width of the pair of tubular elements corresponds to that of the packed object, plus the thickness of said tubular elements as the object is placed between these latter.
  • One box-shaped element, placed at the base of the two pairs of tubular volumes, consists of a rectangular piece whose width corresponds to that of each pair of tubular elements, provided with four side-pieces of the same height to be bent at 90° in relation to said rectangular piece.
  • a second box-shaped element, placed at the top of the two pairs of tubular elements, consists of a rectangular piece whose width corresponds to that of each pair of tubular elements, provided with two side-pieces of the same height to be bent at 90° in relation to said rectangular piece.
  • Length and width of the upper and lower box-shaped elements correspond to those of the rectangular area comprising the two opposing pairs of parallel tubular elements, sized to house the object to be packed within that part of said tubular elements projecting onto the internal face of the connecting wall.
  • the upper box-shaped element is formed of a substantially parallelepiped box of sufficient height to receive accessories of the packed object, especially of a computer.
  • the invention offers evident advantages.
  • the box obtainable by means of the described parts surrounds the object contained therein on six sides.
  • Said tubular elements extend well outwards creating, at the position of the above edges, strong compressible cushioning able to absorb any shocks received during transport and avoid damage to the protected object.
  • Packaging 10 comprises the lower box-shaped element 50, the upper box-shaped element 60 and two pairs 15, 16 of tubular elements 31.
  • the lower box-shaped element 50 comprises the central rectangular piece 54 and four rectangular longitudinal side-pieces 55 with slightly converging sides connected to the central piece by the creases seen in the drawings.
  • the upper box-shaped element 60 comprises the central rectangular piece 63 and two rectangular longitudinal side-pieces 65 connected to the central body by the creases seen in the drawings.
  • Pairs 15, 16 of tubular element 31 are made from a central rectangular piece 30 joined, on two longitudinal sides, to internal side-pieces 35 joined, by first narrow side pieces 38, to broad intermediate side-pieces 36 joined, by second narrow side-pieces 39, to external broad side-pieces 37.
  • Each tubular element 31 is obtained ( Figures 5 and 6 ) by progressive bending at 90° of the internal side-pieces 35 inwards, of the first narrow side-pieces 38 outwards, of the intermediate side-pieces 36, of the second external side-pieces 39 and of the external side-pieces 37 inwards, to the point where these latter external side-pieces 37 lie over the internal side-pieces 35.
  • Glue 45 is spread on the internal side-pieces 35 for fixing them to the external side- pieces 37.
  • Length of the narrow side-pieces 38 is therefore reduced by a length substantially corresponding to the radius of said arc-wise bevel 40.
  • Widths of the narrow side-pieces 38, 39 are substantially the same.
  • Widths of side-pieces 36 and 37 are substantially the same, and are greater than that of the side-pieces 35.
  • Figures 7-9 illustrate the use of the described packaging 10 for protection of a PC 70 placed in the space laterally delimited by the internal opposing walls of central pieces 30 and of tubular elements 31 of the two opposing pairs 15 and 16 and by the lower box-shaped element 50.
  • Packing is completed by placing the upper box-shaped element 60 over the pairs 15 and 16 of tubular elements 31.
  • Said packing so formed can be placed either vertically as marked by 85 in Figure 7 , or horizontally as marked by 86 in Figure 8 .
  • Figure 9 illustrates resistance by the packaging to stresses generally concentrated at the edges, as indicated by arrows 80.
