Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a package for the packaging of a product together with accessories belonging to the product, the package comprising a primary package element for accommodation of the product and at least one secondary package element for accommodation of the accessories, the primary package element comprising at least one transparent part, in which the package has an essentially elongated form and extends between a first end and a second end, and in which the package is rectangular essentially over the entire length of the package.
  • a first type of package which is often characterized as a transport package
  • the main interest is that the package must protect the product against damage during transport. This is usually obtained by choosing a relatively stiff cardboard box which is elongated and e.g. quadratic or rectangular in cross section. Subsequently, supporting blocks of e.g. polystyrene are placed in each end of the product which is then put down in the cardboard box.
  • a number of different fittings, screws and tools, together with an installation and mounting manual for use during the mounting of the screening product are usually gathered in a plastic bag and put down with the screening in the package which is then closed.
  • a second type of package which is often characterized as a sales package
  • the main interest is that the package must be inexpensive and at the same time permit the consumer to see the product through the package without having to open it.
  • This is usually obtained by choosing an elongated tubular plastic bag, placing the screening product in the bag and heat seal the ends of the bag. One end might be welded together with a suspension hook, such that the package can be suspended in a rack.
  • a number of different fittings, screws and tools, etc. to be used for the mounting of the screening product are generally gathered in a plastic bag and put down together with the screening in the package which is then closed.
  • the production comprises making and assembling of several different sub-elements and thus demands considerable resources both as to time and costs of production.
  • a consumer will be inclined to open the package, watch the contents, perhaps close the package again and take a new unbroken package. This entails that the subsequent consumers cannot be sure that the package that they buy contains a complete product.
  • some transport packages of the art comprise one or more smaller transparent parts. However, such parts are generally insufficient to allow for a user to get a satisfactory view of the product since larger transparent parts in the packages of the prior art would compromise the stability of the package.
  • the package is not suitable for transport as the screening product is easily damaged in the simple bag packages.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a package which eliminate above drawbacks.
  • a package of the initially stated kind which is characterized in that the primary package element comprises at least two tubular stiffening parts, each having a cross section essentially corresponding to that of the package, the tubular parts have predetermined lengths and are positioned at a mutual distance in the longitudinal direction of the package, and the at least one transparent part of the primary package element surrounds the tubular parts and extends over the entire length of the package, that the package further comprises a bottom cover and a top cover for connection to the primary package element, and that a suspension hook is connected to said top cover.
  • the primary package element as an integrated transport and sales package combines exactly the advantages related to each of the above-mentioned packaging principles, as a sturdy package of a simple construction is provided, but where it is nevertheless possible to examine the product contained in the packaging.
  • the tubular stiffening parts are designed with an information print concerning the product, the transparent part will also protect this print against outside impact.
  • a tubular stiffening part is appropriately placed in the vicinity of each end of the package such that a package is obtained which is stable when subject to loads, and at the same time, the central area of the package provides visual access from all sides of the product.
  • the package further comprises a bottom cover and a top cover for connection with the primary package element.
  • a suspension hook can preferably be connected to the top cover.
  • the tubular stiffening elements are formed by folding a cardboard blank.
  • the tubular stiffening elements can be designed as components of plastics or similar material.
  • each tubular stiffening element may constitute between 10% and 40%, preferably between 20% and 30%, especially 25%, of the total length of the primary package element.
  • the secondary package elements are preferably formed by folding a cardboard blank or formed as components made of plastics or similar material and are appropriately placed at one or each end of the package outside the tubular stiffening part in question.
  • the secondary package element or elements may be provided with at least one window portion.
  • each secondary package element may constitute between 5% and 20%, preferably between 10% and 15%, of the total length of the package.
  • the area which is merely covered by the transparent part may constitute between 10% and 60%, preferably between 20% and 50%, especially between 30% and 40%, of the total length of the package.
  • the transparent part comprises in one embodiment a plastic foil, preferably with a thickness of between 0.1 and 1.5 mm.
  • the transparent part can be designed as a plastic pipe, preferably made by extrusion.
  • FIG. 1 shows an exploded perspective view of a first embodiment of the package according to the invention.
  • a screening product is shown in the form of a roller blind 1 of a type known per se with the screening cloth in a rolled up condition and with an associated package generally indicated by the referential number 2.
  • the package 2 comprises a primary package element 3 which is in the packed condition of the screening product 1, essentially corresponding to the one shown in Fig. 1, adapted to accommodate the product and in the shown embodiment one secondary package element 4 for accommodation of accessories not shown in detail.
  • the package 2 has an essentially elongated form and extends between a first end 2a and a second end 2b, and has a predetermined cross section over essentially the entire length of the package which is almost quadratic in the shown embodiment.
  • the primary package element 3 comprises two tubular stiffening parts 5 and 6, also with essentially quadratic cross section, positioned in the vicinity of a corresponding end, respectively 2a and 2b, however, the second tubular part 6 is placed at such a distance from the end 2b that the secondary package element is accommodated in the primary package element 3 of the package 2 between the second tubular part 6 and the end 2b.
  • the primary package element 3 further comprises a transparent part 7 which encloses the tubular parts 5 and 6 over the entire length of the package.
  • the tubular stiffening parts 5 and 6 are in this embodiment formed by a cardboard sheet, e.g. with a thickness of 1-5 mm, which is folded to the desired form, whereupon the ends of the sheet facing each other are fastened to each other by means of adhesion.
  • a cardboard sheet e.g. with a thickness of 1-5 mm
  • the term tubular is to be understood as comprising any element with a circumferential wall and with an arbitrary cross section, and such an element may further comprise an end wall.
  • the cardboard sheets can be provided with different forms of information prints, such as information on the nature of product, etc., and as an additional advantage of the invention, such an information print will be protected from outside impact by the transparent part 7.
  • the transparent part 7 comprises a foil sheet of a suitable plastic material with a thickness which is typically in the area of 0.1-1.5 mm, and which is wrapped or wound tightly around the two tubular stiffening parts 5 and 6, after these have been placed at the desired mutual distance on the foil sheet, after which the ends of the plastic foil sheet facing each other are fastened to each other by means of adhesion. Adhesion may also be used as a supplementary securing of the tubular stiffening parts 5 and 6 to the transparent part 7.
  • the transparent part 7 can by a suitable choice of material also contribute to the stiffness and strength of the package.
  • the screening product 1 is placed herein and may be secured in relation to the tubular stiffening parts 5 and 6, e.g. by polystyrene blocks or another mechanical securing, or by a releasable adhesive joint.
  • the transparent part 7 covers in the shown embodiment an area which constitutes about 30% of the entire length of the package and provides visual access to the product over the entire circumference of the package in this area.
  • the secondary package element 4 which can be designed as a conventional cardboard package, i.e. as a punched plane blank which is folded up and fastened by means of adhesion to form an openable cardboard box which in the shown embodiment has essentially the same cross section form as the primary package element 3 and the package 2.
  • the secondary package element 4 is placed in the primary package element 3, and as the secondary package element 4 is provided with two window portions 8, 9 and because of the placement of the secondary package element 4 outside the second tubular stiffening element 6, it is thus possible also to see the accessories in packed condition.
  • the package 2 is closed with a cover 10, 11 in each end of the primary package element 3.
  • the covers 10, 11 can be connected e.g. to the transparent part 7 or to the two tubular stiffening parts 5, 6 and can also be formed of a plastic foil sheet which can be folded and fastened by adhesion to the desired form.
  • one of the tubular stiffening parts 5 and 6 can be provided with an integrated cover and/or the transparent part 7 can be used for closure of the package in one or both ends.
  • the screening product 1 with associated accessories is then packed for transport and subsequent sale.
  • a suspension hook may be connected to the top cover.
  • the suspension hook may either form an integrated part of the top cover or an independent part which is secured to the top cover, perhaps in such a way that is sunk or hidden in this cover during transport and/or storage for a subsequent release with a view to suspension.
