Definitions

  • the invention relates to a package arrangement, comprising a plurality of walls fitted to each other.
  • GB885051 describes a packing case with end walls provided with an ear at each of its four corners. Adjacent walls are provided with a recess at each of their respective corners. At the assembled condition of the case, each ear is fitted into two adjacent recesses of two adjacent walls. However, this arrangement does not in itself secure the end walls to the adjacent walls, and for this purpose, screws or similar fastening means have to be used.
  • a package arrangement comprising a plurality of walls fitted to each other, including a first wall, in turn comprising at its periphery a protruding portion, wherein a second wall presents a slot, which is oriented essentially parallel to a first edge of the second wall and is located at a distance from the first edge, and at least a part of the protruding portion of the first wall, in the assembled condition of the package arrangement, extends at least partly through the slot.
  • the first wall presents a recessed edge that face, in the assembled condition of the package assembly, an inner side of a second wall, and the protruding portion is provided with an edge that is offset outwards from the recessed edge by a distance, corresponding approximately to the thickness of the second wall.
  • the protruding portion will effectively fill out essentially the entire slot of the second wall without protruding externally of the package assembly.
  • the protruding portion is located at a corner of the first wall.
  • the slot could extend all the way to an edge which is oriented in an angle to the first edge. This will increase the stability of the package assembly.
  • the protruding portion is located at a distance from any corner of the first wall.
  • the slot could be provided at a distance from any edge of the second wall.
  • protruding portions are located at respective corners of the first wall, and additional protruding portions are located at a distance from any corner of the first wall. Thereby, the stability of the package assembly will be further increased.
  • the second wall is provided at two opposite edges with alternating protrusions and recesses, whereby each protrusion on one of the edges is located opposite to a recess of the opposite edge.
  • the second wall can be fitted to identical walls along one or both of said edges that are provided with alternating protrusions and recesses.
  • all second walls can be identical, which makes manufacturing of the package arrangement easier.
  • the width of the slot and the thickness of the protruding portion are adapted so that, when the protruding portion is fitted into the slot, there is a small clearance between the protruding portion and an edge of the slot. This will make it easy to fit the walls of the package arrangement to each other.
  • the width of the slot and the thickness of the protruding portion are adapted so that the protruding portion is held in the slot by friction. Thereby, in some applications where forces exerted on the package arrangement are relatively low, no additional fastening means are needed to hold the package arrangement together. In applications where larger forces are involved, the friction fitting of the walls of the package arrangement will still provide for an initial stability facilitating the use of it, for example when assembling it and during loading of goods into it.
  • a second wall is provided with at least one notch to allow at least one stabilising strap to be fitted around three second walls when the latter are fitted to two first walls, whereby a stabilising strap is fitted in the vicinity of one of the first walls and passes through the notch so as to be positioned, in the fully assembled condition of the package assembly, just inside an inner side of a top wall.
  • Fig. 1 shows a part of a package arrangement 1 according to one embodiment of the invention.
  • the package arrangement 1 has an elongated shape, and is suitable for packing steel tubing or other elongated objects. Only the part closest to the viewer is shown in fig. 1.
  • the package arrangement 1 comprises a plurality of walls 2, 3, 4, 5 fitted to each other.
  • the walls include two first walls 2, only one of which is shown in fig. 1.
  • the first walls 2 take the form of end walls 2.
  • the walls also include four second walls 3, 4, 5, in this embodiment in the form of a bottom 3, top 4, and two side walls 5.
  • Fig. 2 shows that each second wall 3, 4, 5 is provided at two opposite edges 6 with alternating protrusions 7 and recesses 8. Each protrusion 7 on one of the edges 6 is located opposite to a recess 8 of the opposite edge 6.
  • each first wall 2 comprises at its periphery four protruding portions 9, each located at a corner of the generally rectangular first wall 2.
  • each first wall 2 presents four recessed edges 10 that face, in the assembled condition of the package assembly 1, the inner side of a respective second wall 3, 4, 5.
  • Each protruding portion 9 is provided in the form of an ear 9 with two edges 9a that are offset outwards from respective recessed edges 10 by a distance d.
  • the distance d corresponds approximately to the thickness of the second walls 3, 4, 5.
  • a first wall 2 could present more or less than four protruding portions 9. Below an embodiment with more than four protruding portions is presented. Also, it is possible to provide a first wall with only one, two or three protruding portions.
  • each second wall 3, 4, 5 presents two slots 11, which are oriented essentially parallel to a first edge 12 of the second wall 3, 4, 5 and are located at a distance D from the first edge 12.
  • Each slot 11 extends all the way to a respective of the opposite edges 6, which are perpendicular to the first edge 12.
  • one part of each protruding portion 9 of the first wall 2 extends through a slot 11 in a second wall 3, 4, 5, and another part of each protruding portion 9 extends through another slot 11 in an adjacent second walls 3, 4, 5. Since the slots 11 are located at a distance D from the edge, the first wall 2 will be secured in both directions perpendicular to its plane.
  • an external strap 14 can be stretched around the package arrangement 1, preferably, at the longitudinal position of the first wall 2, as is shown in fig. 5.
  • reinforcement members can be fitted outside the first walls 2. This will protect the first walls 2 against excessive external forces, for example due to a fork lift truck pushing onto one of the first walls 2 when the assembled package arrangement is handled for shipping.
  • Fig. 6 shows a device that can be shown to stabilise the package assembly when loading, i.e. when partly assembled.
  • two first walls, or end walls 2 (only one of which is shown in fig. 6) are fitted to three second walls, i.e. a bottom wall 3 and two side walls 5.
  • a stabilising jig 61 which comprises a lower part 62, to which an upper part 63 is fitted on each side of the package arrangement.
  • the upper parts 63 can be moved to and from the respective side walls 5, and be secured to the lower part 62 so as to support the side walls 5 when loading the package assembly.
  • Fig. 7 shows a special embodiment of the invention.
  • two first walls, or end walls 2 (only one of which is shown in fig. 7) are fitted to three second walls, i.e. a bottom wall 3 and two side walls 5.
  • two stabilising straps 131 (only one of which is shown in fig. 7) are fitted around the bottom wall 3 and the side walls 5.
  • Each stabilising strap 131 is fitted outside and in the vicinity of the respective end wall 2.
  • one of the side walls 5 is provided with a notch 51, so that the stabilising strap will be positioned just below the lower side of the top wall 4 in the fully assembled condition of the package assembly.
  • Fig. 8 shows a second wall 2 of a package arrangement according to a further embodiment of the invention.
  • the package arrangement is similar to the one shown in fig. 1.
  • the first wall 2 comprises at its periphery four protruding portions 9, each located at a corner of the generally rectangular first wall 2, and the first wall 2 presents recessed edges 10 that face, in the assembled condition of the package assembly, the inner side of a respective second wall 3, 4, 5.
  • the first wall 2 also presents four additional protruding portions 91, each located between two protruding portions 9 that are located at respective corners of the first wall 2.
  • Each additional protruding portion 91 is provided with an edge 9a that is offset outwards from respective recessed edges 10 by a distance d.
  • the distance d corresponds approximately to the thickness of the second walls 3, 4, 5.
  • each second wall 3, 4, 5 presents three slots 11, 111, which are oriented essentially parallel to a first edge 12 of the second wall 3, 4, 5 and are located at a distance D from the first edge 12.
  • Two of the slots 11, are arranged as described above with reference to fig. 1, 2, and 4, i.e. each of them extends all the way to a respective of opposite edges 6, which are perpendicular to the first edge 12. Additionally, at a distance from the opposite edges 6, an additional slot 111 is provided.
  • each additional protruding portion 91 of the first wall 2 extends through an additional slot 111 in a second wall 3, 4, 5.
  • the additional protruding portions 91 and additional slots 111 will further increase the stability of the package arrangement.
  • Fig. 10 shows a plan view of a first wall 2 of a package arrangement according to yet a further embodiment of the invention.
  • the first wall presents a generally hexagonal shape, and is provided at each corner with a protruding portion 9.
  • the first wall is intended to be fitted to six second walls, each similar to the one shown in fig. 4, in a manner similar to what has been described above with reference to fig. 1, 2, 3, and 4.
