Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packing element according to the preamble of claim 1, that prevents the household appliances from being damaged during transportation and which is known e.g. from DE8709277U .
  • Manufactured products preferably household appliances
  • the household appliances can be damaged since they are pressed in between the pallets during loading onto the transport vehicles and carried by loading on the forklifts.
  • the household appliances can slide in the transport vehicle due to jolting and press onto each other. Similar damages may be incurred on the household appliances that slide, press or are pressed.
  • the household appliances that are placed on top of each other during storage can damage by exerting pressure on the appliances in their vicinity.
  • Various packing and support elements are used in the technique in order to prevent the damages that occur due to all of these reasons.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a packing element that allows complementary household appliances such as ovens and counter-top cookers to be transported in a single package.
  • the coupling means comprises a recess on the first support member and a protrusion on the second support member aligned with the recess or vice versa.
  • the packing element comprises a housing each on the first and second support members, configured to be of a size suitable with the dimensions of the first and complementary appliance.
  • a first support member each is disposed on the right and left sides of the first appliance and a second support member each is disposed on the right and left sides of the complementary appliance for supporting from the sides thereof.
  • the two appliances are positioned one over the other and the support members are joined by inserting the protrusions into the recesses.
  • the first appliance and the complementary appliance wrapped by the packing element can be placed into the package together.
  • a built-in oven as the first appliance and a built-in cooker as the complementary appliance are packed.
  • the housings disposed on the first and second support members are respectively configured to be of a shape and size suitable for supporting the built-in oven and the built-in cooker.
  • the second support member placed on top comprises an arm that extends downward and fortifies the joint when joined with the first support member.
  • the support members are made of a material with a high damping feature such as styropor etc.
  • the household appliances featured as complementary products can be packed together and offered for sale in a single package thereby not only ease of transportation and storage is provided but also customer satisfaction of the buyer is maintained. Moreover, by eliminating the need for two separate packages, the amount of waste material decreases after the installation of the household appliance and thereby the environment is harmed less.
  • Figure 1 - is the perspective view of a packing element and the packed household appliances.
  • Figure 2 - is the bottom view of an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figure 3 - is the top view of an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figure 4 - is the perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention and the packed household appliances.
  • a packing element (1) is used for packing a first appliance (FA) and a complementary appliance (CA) to be sold together, having virtually similarly shaped bases, together in a single package (D) thereby allowing safe transportation.
  • FA first appliance
  • CA complementary appliance
  • the packing element (1) prevents damages in the first and the complementary appliances (FA, CA) in the case that the package (D) slides, falls over or is subjected to various forces by colliding with the side walls of the transport vehicle.
  • the packing element (1) of the present invention is suitable for packing a first appliance (FA) and a complementary appliance (CA), having virtually similarly shaped bases in a single package (D) and comprises the features of claim 1.
  • the coupling means (4) comprises a recess (5) arranged on the first support member (2) and a protrusion (6) on the second support member (3) aligned with the recess (5).
  • the protrusion (6) is seated in the recess (5).
  • the packing element (1) comprises a housing (7) each situated on the first and second support members (2, 3), configured to be of a size suitable with the dimensions of the first and complementary appliances (FA, CA).
  • a first and a second support member (2, 3) each is disposed respectively on both sides of the first and complementary appliances (FA, CA).
  • the two appliances (FA, CA) are positioned one over the other such that the complementary appliance (CA) is on the first appliance (FA) and the first and second support members (2, 3) are joined by inserting the protrusions (6) into the recesses (5).
  • both the first appliance (FA) and the complementary appliance (CA) are emplaced in the packing element (1) and the packing element (1) in this position can be placed into the package (D).
  • the packing element (1) is used in packaging a built-in oven as the first appliance (FA) and a built-in cooker as the complementary appliance (CA).
  • the housing (7) formed by the first support member (2) is wide enough to entirely encompass the side walls of the built-in oven (FA).
  • the other housing (7) formed by the second support member (3) is such that the cook top of the built-in cooker (CA) is clasped from above and below.
  • the second support member (3) placed at the top comprises an arm (8) arranged beneath the housing (7) that extends towards the first support member (2) when joined with the first support member (2).
  • the arm (8) supports the complementary appliance (CA) from below and serves as a buffer between the first appliance (FA) and the complementary appliance (CA).
  • the complementary appliance (CA) is prevented from sliding sideways on the first appliance (FA).
  • the first and second support members (2, 3) are made of a material with a high damping feature such as styropor etc.
  • the household appliances (FA, CA) to be offered for sale together can be packaged lightweight, with less cost and harming the environment less.
