Definitions

• the present invention relates to a packaging device for transporting and / or storing articles which can be arranged in their interior according to the preamble of claim 1.
• a generic packaging device is known from DE 41 23 558 C1.
• the aim of the invention is to provide a packaging device for transporting and / or storing objects that can be arranged in their interior, which in particular has a solid bottom wall which is essential for the arrangement of the objects and avoids the disadvantage described above in the prior art as far as possible.
• the flexible walls of the outer shell are particularly advantageously provided in their vertical edges and / or diagonally between their corners with reinforcing elements.
• Such reinforcing elements cause when inflating the additional cover an orientation of the outer shell in already predefined form, for example the shape of a cube, so that the additional shell does not necessarily or only partially determine the final shape of the packaging device after inflation.
• a film tube is provided, whose inner surface facing the interior of the packaging is larger than its outer surface facing the inner wall of the outer casing.
• the shape of the outer casing forming the packaging device can be controlled during inflation of the additional casing; a particularly preferred embodiment of the air chambers with different sized volumes and / or with webs between the individual air chambers further enhances this space formation of the final packaging device.
• the additional cover not an integral part of the outer shell, but with respect to the outer shell separately, so the additional shell preferably on its outer surface means for fastening.
• the additional cover is defined fastened to the inner walls of the outer shell. That is, the previously determined form of the additional shell leads to the final shape of the outer shell and thus the entire packaging device after inflation.
• the defined arrangement of these means for attaching the additional cover to the inner wall of the outer cover simplifies handling for the respective operator of the packaging device. The operator does not have to deal with the problem of optimally arranging the auxiliary cover relative to the outer cover.
• the additional cover according to the invention a connection element. This connection element is provided on the additional cover so that it is easily accessible from the outside in the finished packaging device. Preferably, it protrudes outwardly from the finished packaging device and can be easily connected by an operator to a device for inflating the accessory wrapper.
• the outer shell in addition to, for example, the already mentioned quick-release elements / closure counterparts advantageously further quick release elements / closure counterparts.
• Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the unfolded outer shell according to the invention
• Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the invention, separate additional cover
• FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of a still further embodiment of the additional cover according to the invention.
• a fixed upper wall 5 is provided, which may be omitted in embodiments of the invention, not shown, so that, for example, the interior of the outer shell 1 would be accessible from above and thus then, for example - And zuklapples the flexible wall 6 omitted.
• a packaging device according to the invention is also possible, which is open at the top and has four side walls on the bottom wall, wherein a side wall is still solvable.
• an additional cover 10 is shown.
• this additional case 10 is a kind of film tube, which consists in the embodiment of FIG. 2 of four relatively foldable walls 11. The dimensions of these walls 11 are such that they correspond at least to the inner circumference of the outer shell 1.
• the walls 11 of the additional cover 10 are connected to each other via webs 12, which are found when introducing the additional cover 10 in the outer shell 1 predefined on the vertical edges 4 of the outer shell 1.
• a connection element 13 At one end of the additional casing 10 there is a connection element 13 in the manner of a supply / Drain hose.
• this connection element 13 of the additional envelope for example, compressed air from the outside can be fed to inflate the additional cover 10. It is self-evident that the additional cover 10 can also be drained via this connection element 13.
• the vertical length in the representation of the additional cover 10 in Fig. 2 may be greater than the vertical length of the respective outer shell 1.
• the flexible walls 3 of the outer shell 1 are pulled taut into the desired outer shape.
• the additional casing 10 in the interior of the outer casing 1 is bent downwards and thereby supports the fixation of an object in the interior of the outer casing 1.
• 3 and 4 show other embodiments according to the invention of comparable additional covers 10 'and 10 "As can be seen from these FIGS.
• the additional cover 10', 10" in this case consists respectively of a plurality of individual air chambers 18 ', 18 "and 18 “'. 3, these air chambers 18 'have two different sizes, the smaller air chambers 18 "preferably forming the corner regions and edge regions after being introduced into the outer shell 1. Particularly in the exemplary embodiment of FIG.
• the air chambers 18' are of larger volume It can be seen that their bulge in the inflated state to the inner wall of the outer shell 1 toward and away from the interior, different.This is because, for example, the respective area of the air chamber 18 ', which later when introduced into the outer shell 1 with the The respective opposite region of the air chamber 18 ', which points to the interior of the outer shell 1, has thinner wall thickness Interior facing area of the air chamber 18 'so strong that he in this interior fixed space located objects. Likewise, this can be achieved in that the inner surface of the respective air chamber is greater than the outer surface and thereby the air chamber in each case inflates like a pillow to the interior of the outer shell 1 out.
• FIG. 6 The present state of this arrangement with introduced in the package items 20 is shown in perspective in Fig. 6.
• the flexible additional wall 6 is still folded back and the front wall 11 of the additional cover still shown unfolded laterally to better illustrate the accessibility.
• the illustrated in Fig. 6 front wall 11 of the additional cover 10 is then folded and fastened with the quick-fastening elements 17 on the additional cover 10.
• the flexible wall 6 in FIG. 6 is folded down to the front and closed by means of the quick-fastening elements 7 in order to complete the packaging device in accordance with the perspective illustration according to FIG.
• the additional casing located inside the packaging device is then inflated via the connecting element 13, which is carried out to the outside.
• the walls previously carried over the objects 20 at most are then formed into the cube shown in FIG. 7 by inflating the additional cover (or else 10 ', 10 "). If the article 20 to be transported is removed at the destination of the packaging device, the packaging device is initially opened by opening the flexible wall 6. If the additional casing is integrated in the outer casing, the medium located in the additional casing is simply drained off.
• the outer casing 1 can also be folded together with the additional casing therein after spreading in the state shown in FIG. 5 by placing the respective wall surfaces one upon the other.
• This condition which may be referred to as an empty transport condition, is shown in FIG.
• Fig. 8 it can be seen that the Schnellbefesti- supply means then serve to keep the respective walls unfoldable together.
• the extremely space-saving, shown in Fig. 8 state of the outer shell 1 provides significant advantages in the empty transport of the packaging device.
• the packaging device is in its state shown in Fig. 8 is not much larger than the fixed base plate 2 with upper wall 5 thereon and the economic umtechnical and handling technical advantages are compared to the prior art greatly improved.
