Abstract

The profile (10) has separators (22, 23) with a material attenuation, where the separators are arranged in a foam layer e.g. polyethylene foam, as a tear off aid. The separators are formed as perforation in the foam layer. A knuckle line (21) runs into a center of the profile toward a longitudinal axis of the profile. One of the separators (22) runs perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and the other separators (23) runs inclined to the longitudinal axis. The profile has a thickness of 1 to 10 millimeters.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kantenschutzprofil zum Schutz der Ecken und Kanten von Möbeln, Werkstücken, Maschinen und dergleichen, insbesondere währe nd eines Transportes dieser Elemente.The invention relates to an edge protection profile for protecting the corners and edges of furniture, workpieces, machines and the like, in particular währe nd a transport of these elements.

Aus der DE 38 19 606 C2 ist ein Kantenschutzprofil bekannt, mit dem die Kanten von Gegenständen während einer transportbedingten Umreifung geschützt werden können. Um eine ausreichende Stabilität für den hohen Druck de s Umreifungsbandes gewährleisten zu können, ist das Kantenschutzprofil als starrer Winkel ausgebildet. Eine besondere Formgebung sorgt ferner dafür, dass am Profil vorhandene Klebestreifen bei einer Stapelung von Profilen nicht zu einer wechselseitigen Verklebung führen.From the DE 38 19 606 C2 An edge protection profile is known with which the edges of objects can be protected during transport-related strapping. In order to ensure sufficient stability for the high pressure of the strapping band, the edge protection profile is designed as a rigid angle. A special shape also ensures that the profile existing adhesive strips in a stacking of profiles do not lead to mutual bonding.

Vor diesem Hintergrund war es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Kantenschutz bereitzustellen, der sich besonders leicht bevorraten und in Verbindung mit Gegenständen verschiedener Geometrien einfach und kostensparend anwenden lässt.Against this background, it was an object of the present invention to provide an edge protection which is particularly easy to store and can be used in conjunction with articles of different geometries in a simple and cost-saving manner.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Kantenschutzprofil mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen enthalten.This object is achieved by an edge protection profile with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are contained in the subclaims.

Das erfindungsgemäße Kantenschutzprofil hat allgemein eine längliche Form mit einer Längsachse und enthält eine Schaumstoffschicht, welche den Gegenstand durch ihre elastischen Eigenschaften schützt. Weiterhin enthält das Kantenschutzprofil in der Schaumstoffschicht mindestens eine Trennlinie mit einer Materialschwächung, die als Abreißhilfe dient. Typischerweise ist eine Mehrzahl von Trennlinien vorhanden, welche hinsichtlich ihres Verlaufes und ihrer Realisierung gleich oder aber auch verschiedenartig ausgebildet sein können (vgl. unten erläuterte Ausführungsformen).The edge protection profile according to the invention generally has an elongated shape with a longitudinal axis and contains a foam layer which protects the article by its elastic properties. Furthermore, the edge protection profile in the foam layer contains at least one parting line with a material weakening, which serves as a tear-off. Typically, a plurality of dividing lines present, which may be the same or different but with regard to their course and their realization (see below explained embodiments).

Aufgrund der im Kantenschutzprofil vorgesehenen Trennlinie(n) ist es möglich, dieses Profil besonders einfach und beispielsweise ohne Zuhilfenahme von Werkzeug zu verwenden.Due to the dividing line (s) provided in the edge protection profile, it is possible to use this profile particularly easily and, for example, without the aid of tools.

Das Kantenschutzprofil enthält ferner vorzugsweise eine Kleberschicht, mit der es selbstklebend auf einem Gegenstand befestigt werden kann. Die Schaumstoffschicht ist dabei in der Regel mittelbar oder unmittelbar auf der Kleberschicht angeordnet.The edge protection profile preferably also contains an adhesive layer with which it can be adhesively attached to an object. The foam layer is usually arranged indirectly or directly on the adhesive layer.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung weist das Kantenschutzprofil eine Knicklinie auf, welche in Richtung der Längsachse verläuft. Die Knicklinie soll ferner etwa in der Mitte des Profils liegen, d. h. in einem Bereich zwischen 30 % und 70 % der Profilbreite. Die Knicklinie kann insbesondere als eine Materialschwächung im Schaumstoffstreifen ausgebildet sein, beispielsweise durch einen ganz oder teilweise durch die Dicke der Schaumstoffschicht gehenden Einschnitt. Entlang der Knicklinie kann das Kantenschutzprofil abgeklappt werden, um sich dem Verlauf einer Gegenstandskante optimal anpassen zu können.In a preferred embodiment, the edge protection profile has a crease line which extends in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The crease line should also lie approximately in the middle of the profile, d. H. in a range between 30% and 70% of the profile width. The crease line may in particular be designed as a weakening of the material in the foam strip, for example by means of an incision that goes entirely or partially through the thickness of the foam layer. Along the bend line, the edge protection profile can be folded down in order to be able to optimally adapt to the course of an object edge.

Die Materialschwächungen der Trennlinien können auf verschiedene Weise realisiert werden, beispielsweise durch Zonen geringerer Materialdichte in der Schaumstoffschicht. Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn mindestens eine Trennlinie als eine Perforation ausgebildet ist, d. h. als ein durchgehender oder intermittierender Einschnitt bzw. eine Ausnehmung in der Schaumstoffschicht. Eine solche Perforation lässt sich in einem nachträglichen Bearbeitungsschritt einfach und mit nahezu jedem beliebigen geometrischen Verlauf erzeugen.The material weakenings of the parting lines can be realized in various ways, for example by zones of lesser material density in the foam layer. It is particularly preferred if at least one dividing line is formed as a perforation, d. H. as a continuous or intermittent incision or a recess in the foam layer. Such a perforation can be easily generated in a subsequent processing step and with almost any geometric course.

Gemäß einer ersten bevorzugten Ausführungsform verläuft die mindestens eine Trennlinie im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Längsachse des Kantenschutzprofils. Durch einen solchen senkrechten Verlauf kann das Kantenschutzprofil entlang dieser Trennlinie sauber auf eine passende Länge gekürzt werden. Die Trennlinie kann sich dabei über die gesamte Breite des Kantenschutzprofils erstrecken, oder aber vorzugsweise auch nur über einen Teil der Breite. Beispielsweise kann die Trennlinie nur von einem Rand des Kantenschutzprofils bis etwa zur Mitte bzw. - falls vorhanden - bis zur oben erwähnten Knicklinie verlaufen, so dass die restliche Breite des Profils mit unverminderter Stabilität ausgebildet ist. Ein sauberes Abreißen des Kantenschutzprofils ist in diesen Fällen dennoch möglich, da die Trennlinie einen definierten Anfang für einen Querriss vorgibt.According to a first preferred embodiment, the at least one parting line extends substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the edge protection profile. By such a vertical course, the edge protection profile along this dividing line can be cut cleanly to a suitable length. The dividing line can extend over the entire width of the edge protection profile, or preferably only over part of the width. For example, the dividing line can only extend from one edge of the edge protection profile to approximately the middle or, if present, to the above-mentioned fold line, so that the remaining width of the profile is formed with undiminished stability. A clean tearing of the edge protection profile is still possible in these cases, since the dividing line defines a defined start for a transverse crack.

Typischerweise sind von den vorstehend genannten, senkrecht zur Längsachse verlaufenden Trennlinien mehrere vorhanden, damit das Kantenschutzprofil je nach Bedarf an unterschiedlichen Stellen abgetrennt werden kann. Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn derartige Trennlinien einen axialen Abstand (d. h. einen Abstand gemessen in Richtung der Längsachse) von ca. 70 % bis ca. 200 % der Breite des Kantenschutzprofils haben. In diesem Falle besitzen sie eine ausreichend feine Rasterung, um an quasi jede Gegenstandsgeometrie angepasst werden zu können.Typically, there are several of the abovementioned separating lines running perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, so that the edge protection profile can be separated at different locations as required. It is particularly preferred if such separating lines have an axial distance (that is to say a distance measured in the direction of the longitudinal axis) of approximately 70% to approximately 200% of the width of the edge protection profile. In this case, they have a sufficiently fine screening in order to be able to be adapted to virtually any object geometry.

Gemäß einer anderen Ausführungsform von Trennlinien können mehrere Trennlinien schräg zur Längsachse verlaufen und dabei dreieckige Ausreißelemente begrenzen. Insbesondere können derartige Trennlinien unter einem Winkel von ca. 45° relativ zur Längsachse stehen. Wie mit Hilfe der Figuren näher erläutert wird, hat die Ausbildung von dreieckigen Ausreißelementen den Vorteil, dass das Kantenschutzprofil durchgehend um Ecken eines Gegenstandes herum gelegt werden kann und dabei die aneinanderstoßenden Kanten an allen Flächen lückenlos und ohne störende Materialüberlappungen schützt.According to another embodiment of parting lines, a plurality of parting lines may extend obliquely to the longitudinal axis and thereby limit triangular tear-out elements. In particular, such dividing lines can be at an angle of approximately 45 ° relative to the longitudinal axis. As will be explained in more detail with the help of the figures, the formation of triangular tear-off has the advantage that the edge protection profile can be placed around corners of an object around and thereby protects the abutting edges on all surfaces without gaps and without disturbing material overlaps.

Die Dicke des Kantenschutzprofils richtet sich im Wesentlichen nach den Anforderungen der vorgesehenen Anwendung und liegt typischerweise in einem Bereich von 1 mm bis 10 mm.The thickness of the edge protection profile depends essentially on the requirements of the intended application and is typically in a range of 1 mm to 10 mm.

Weiterhin wird das Kantenschutzprofil, welches in der Regel flexibel ist, vorzugsweise in Rollenform konfektioniert, so dass es platzsparend in großen Längen zur Verfügung steht. Von derartigen Rollen kann es dann in passenden Größen abgetrennt werden, insbesondere unter Zuhilfenahme von Trennlinien der oben beschriebenen Art, so dass quasi kein Materialverschnitt entsteht.Furthermore, the edge protection profile, which is usually flexible, preferably preformed in roll form, so that it is available to save space in long lengths. From such roles, it can then in matching Sizes are separated, in particular with the aid of parting lines of the type described above, so that virtually no material waste is produced.

Die Schaumstoffschicht kann im Prinzip aus allen gängigen Schaumstoffarten bestehen und insbesondere einen Polyethylenschaum enthalten.The foam layer can in principle consist of all common types of foam and in particular contain a polyethylene foam.

Die Kleberschicht weist vorzugsweise einen Kleber auf, welcher sich nach Beendigung der Benutzung des Kantenschutzprofils rückstandslos vom beklebten Gegenstand entfernen lässt. Geeignete Kleberstoffe aus Acrylaten, Dispersionen, Kautschuk (Hotmelt-Verfahren), Bitumen oder Butylen sind beispielsweise bekannt von Wannenschutzbändern (Oberflächenschutz), Messeklebebändern, Abstandshaltern/Stapelscheiben im Fensterrahmenbau etc. Der Kleber ist vorzugsweise mit einer Trennschicht verankert, z. B. mit einem Gelege oder einer Folie.The adhesive layer preferably has an adhesive, which can be removed without residue from the pasted article after completion of the use of the edge protection profile. Suitable adhesives of acrylates, dispersions, rubber (hotmelt process), bitumen or butylene are known, for example, from pan protection tapes (surface protection), adhesive tapes, spacers / stacking disks in window frame construction, etc. The adhesive is preferably anchored with a release layer, e.g. B. with a scrim or a foil.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung mit Hilfe der schematischen Figuren beispielhaft näher erläutert. Dabei zeigt:

In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail by way of example with the aid of the schematic figures. Showing:

Das erfindungsgemäße Kantenschutzprofil 10 erstreckt sich "endlos" axial entlang einer Längsachse (x-Achse des eingezeichneten Koordinatensystems) und hat senkrecht zu dieser Achse eine Breite B von beispielsweise 60 mm. Wie aus dem vergrößerten und nicht maßstäblichen Querschnitt von Figur 2 erkennbar ist, besteht das Kantenschutzprofil 10 im unteren Teil aus einer Kleberschicht 11, auf welcher eine Schaumstoffschicht 12 angeordnet ist. Die Dicke d beträgt typischerweise 2 bis 5 mm.The edge protection profile 10 according to the invention extends "endlessly" axially along a longitudinal axis (x-axis of the drawn coordinate system) and has a width B of, for example, 60 mm perpendicular to this axis. As from the enlarged and not to scale cross section of FIG. 2 can be seen, the edge protection profile 10 in the lower part of an adhesive layer 11, on which a foam layer 12 is arranged. The thickness d is typically 2 to 5 mm.

Etwa entlang der Mittellinie des Kantenschutzprofils 10, d. h. auf halber Breite B/2, ist eine Knicklinie 21 vorgesehen. Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform ist diese Knicklinie als ein durch den Schaumstoffstreifen 12 gehender Schnitt ausgebildet. Der Schnitt kann dabei wie dargestellt bis auf die Kleberschicht 11 reichen oder auch nur teilweise durch die Schaumstoffschicht 12 gehen. Entlang der Knicklinie 21 kann das Kantenschutzprofil 10 beim Anbringen an der Kante eines Gegenstandes um beliebige Winkel geklappt werden.Approximately along the centerline of the edge protection profile 10, d. H. at half the width B / 2, a bend line 21 is provided. In the illustrated embodiment, this crease line is formed as a continuous through the foam strip 12 section. As illustrated, the cut can extend to the adhesive layer 11 or even pass through the foam layer 12 only partially. Along the crease line 21, the edge protection profile 10 can be folded when attached to the edge of an object to any angle.

Ein besonderes Merkmal des Kantenschutzprofils 10 ist es, dass es Trennlinien 22, 23 aufweist. Im dargestellten Beispiel verlaufen diese Trennlinien dabei nur in einer Längshälfte des Kantenschutzprofils, d. h. von der Knicklinie 21 bis zu einem der Ränder. Ferner gibt es im Beispiel zwei sich in ihrer Verlaufsrichtung unterscheidende Arten von Trennlinien, nämlich:

  1. 1. Senkrecht zur Längsachse x verlaufende erste Trennlinien 22, entlang derer das Kantenschutzprofil 10 auf eine gewünschte Länge abgetrennt werden kann. Diese ersten Trennlinien befinden sich dabei in einem Abstand a, welcher typischerweise der Breite B des Profils entspricht.
    • Zweite, schräg zur Längsachse verlaufende Trennlinien 23. Im dargestellten Beispiel haben diese zweiten Trennlinien 23 einen Winkel α von ca. 45° relativ zur Längsachse und entspringen an dem Schnittpunkt der ersten Trennlinien 22 mit der Knicklinie 21.
A particular feature of the edge protection profile 10 is that it has parting lines 22, 23. In the example shown, these separating lines run only in one longitudinal half of the edge protection profile, ie from the bending line 21 to one of the edges. Further, in the example, there are two types of dividing lines different in their course direction, namely:
  1. 1. Perpendicular to the longitudinal axis x extending first dividing lines 22, along which the edge protection profile 10 can be separated to a desired length. These first parting lines are located at a distance a, which typically corresponds to the width B of the profile.
    • In the example shown, these second separating lines 23 have an angle α of approximately 45 ° relative to the longitudinal axis and originate at the point of intersection of the first separating lines 22 with the bending line 21.

Wie aus Figur 3 erkennbar ist, begrenzen zwei an der Knicklinie 21 aneinanderstoßende zweite Trennlinien 23 ein dreieckiges Ausreißelement D, dessen Grundseite entlang einer Außenkante des Kantenschutzprofils 10 verläuft und dessen Spitze auf der Knicklinie liegt. Wenn mit Hilfe der zweiten Trennlinien 23 ein dreieckiges Ausreißelement D aus dem Kantenschutzprofil 10 entfernt wird, kann dieses um die Ecke eines Gegenstandes 1 geführt werden. Dies ist in Figur 4 gezeigt. Nach Ankleben der trennlinienfreien unteren Profilhä lfte an die an der Kante C zusammentreffenden Flächen des Gegenstandes 1 werden die hochstehenden, mit Trennlinien versehenen oberen Hälften des Kantenschutzprofils 10 entlang der Knicklinie 21 um 90° zurückgeschlagen, so dass sie auf der oberen Fläche des Gegenstandes festkleben. In der Ecke, in der die drei Kanten A, B und C des Gegenstandes 1 zusammentreffen, stoßen die genannten oberen Profilhälften dabei lückenlos und ohne Überlappungen aneinander, da die theoretisch bestehende Überlappungsfläche zuvor mit dem Ausreißelement D entfernt wurde.How out FIG. 3 can be seen, limit two abutting at the bend line 21 second separating lines 23 a triangular pull-out element D, whose base side along an outer edge of the edge protection profile 10 extends and whose tip is located on the fold line. If a triangular pull-out element D is removed from the edge protection profile 10 with the aid of the second separating lines 23, this can be guided around the corner of an article 1. This is in FIG. 4 shown. After sticking the dividing line free Profilhä lfte to the surfaces of the article 1 meeting at the edge C, the upstanding dividing upper halves of the edge protection profile 10 are folded back 90 ° along the crease line 21 so that they stick to the top surface of the article. In the corner in which the three edges A, B and C of the article 1 meet, said upper profile halves abut each other without any gaps and without overlapping, since the theoretically existing overlapping surface was previously removed with the tear-out element D.

Zusammenfassend offenbart die Erfindung ein Kantenschutzprofil, das Gefahrenstellen beim Transport signalisiert und entschärft, indem es Ecken und Längskanten von Produkten auf Transportwegen sowie das Inventar schützt und Stoßverletzungen verhindert. Es ist vorzugsweise ausgebildet als selbstklebender Kantenschutz mit rückseitiger Antirutschhaftung für Innen - und Außenanwendungen an beispielsweise Werkstoffen, Maschinen, Fahrzeugen, oder mobilem Inventar.In summary, the invention discloses an edge protection profile that signals and defuses danger spots during transport by protecting corners and longitudinal edges of products on transport paths and the inventory and prevents impact injuries.
