Description

The invention relates to a Paneelverpackungsset for floor or ceiling coverings, in particular laminate floor panels, with at least one panel package in which panels are packed, and adapted to the packaged panels baseboards and fasteners for baseboards.

The laying of floor or ceiling coverings has become increasingly easier due to new installation techniques, in particular by so-called click-fasteners on the individual panels, so that such coverings are also cleanly laid by consumers without special expert knowledge.

These panels to be laid by the consumer are usually sold in prefabricated panel packaging, in each of which a certain number of panels are packed. To facilitate the purchase and the handling of the panels to the consumer, are from the prior art of DE 10 2006 020 619 A1 Panel packaging with an indicator known, with which the consumer can read off, for example, the required conditioning time of the panels to the respective room climate. DE 20 2005 020 657 U1 discloses placing a plurality of such panels containing panels on a common carrier.

The consumer, however, faces the problem of acquiring panels, as well as requiring additional accessories in addition to the panels to clean a floor or ceiling covering to be able to process. Due to the variety of different panel systems and decors, as well as the variety of available accessories, it is very difficult for the consumer to select the right accessories in the right amount for the panels he chooses.

From the DE 20 2009 007 698 U1 Therefore, a panel packaging set is known which consists of a package in which a plurality of panels is packed. In the same package are also several baseboards and fasteners for baseboards, the amount of baseboards should be matched to the amount of panels. However, the actual need for strips and / or panels may vary greatly from case to case, depending on the size and shape of the installation surface, so that too many strips or too many panels are often purchased with the known panel packaging set. On the other hand, the case is conceivable that bars or panels must be purchased separately, which means additional effort.

The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a Paneelverpackungsset that allows a more flexible adaptation to different installation surfaces.

The previously derived and indicated object is achieved according to the invention in a Paneelverpackungsset for floor or ceiling coverings, especially laminated floor panels, with at least one panel package in which panels are packed, and adapted to the packaged panels baseboards and fasteners for baseboards, characterized in that at least a strip pack is provided in which the baseboards are packaged, wherein the at least one panel package, the at least one strip package and the fastening means are arranged together as a package arrangement on a common carrier.

In this way it is achieved that the user or buyer of Paneelverpackungssets not only to the panels must find suitable baseboards and fasteners for baseboards, but that by buying a single container next to the panels necessary for laying skirting and the associated fasteners automatically with acquires. The fact that the container in addition to the package arrangement also includes a carrier, has the further advantage that the container is to handle in larger quantities by the user, but also before during the manufacture of the container, in a particularly simple manner. Also, the initial use of a common carrier for multiple packages of the package arrangement allows for customization of the panel packaging set to different applications, particularly to different installation surfaces, yet despite a different construction of different panel packaging sets, these can still ensure a stable construction and / or uniform surfaces of the package arrangement will be explained in more detail below. In addition, by the panels on the one hand and the baseboards on the other hand are packed in separate packages, optimal protection of the items, in particular the usually very sensitive surfaces, guaranteed. In addition, the user has the opportunity, when laying the panels, the baseboards, since they are packaged separately, easily put aside first, which due to the packaging in one Last package can be accomplished with a handle. Also, the baseboards are still protected during the laying of the panels in their packaging.

For the purposes of the invention under baseboards both skirting and trim, for example, for stucco ceilings, understood. As a fastener for these baseboards are, inter alia, clips, rails, screws, nails, etc. in question.

According to one embodiment of the Paneelverpackungssets invention, the carrier is a pallet, also called transport pallet. The pallet may be a pre-made pallet already available on the market, such as a Euro pallet, an industrial pallet or a large pallet. However, it is also conceivable that the pallet is adapted in its dimensions to the dimensions of the package arrangement, that is to say to the dimensions of the panel and strip packages, in particular to their length and / or width, and is produced individually. The pallet is ideally adapted so that the package arrangement when the packages are juxtaposed abutting each other, does not protrude from the lateral end edge of the pallet and in particular is not set back appreciably. Ideally, the lateral end edge of the pallet aligns with the side surface of the package assembly, preferably on all four sides. With such a pallet, a larger amount of panels and associated baseboards can be summarized in a container and transported in a simple way. In this way, the user receives in a container, that is on a pallet, for example, a set of panels covering an area of more than 50 m ² , preferably more than 75 m ² , more preferably more than 100 m ² , laying surface is sufficient.

According to a further embodiment of the panel packaging set according to the invention, the package arrangement has a plurality of layers of vertically stacked panel packages and / or strip packages. Also, several stacks, which consist of Paneelpaketen and / or strip packs arranged side by side to form the package arrangement. The package arrangement is preferably composed in such a way that the surface of the package arrangement pointing upwards, ie parallel to the surface of the carrier, runs in one plane. As already indicated above, preferably at least one of the side surfaces of the package arrangement, preferably all side surfaces, runs in one plane. In the manner described above, under optimum space utilization, a panel packaging set can be obtained, which moreover can be optimally stacked together with other panel packaging sets with identical dimensions or at least with an identical width and length and thus be stored and transported.

According to a further embodiment of the Paneelverpackungssets invention, the length of all Paneelpakete and / or all strip packs is the same, in particular, the length of the Paneelpakete is equal to the length of the strip packs. By length is meant the longer of the two dimensions which are parallel to the surface of the carrier on which the package assembly rests. In this way, the previously indicated ideal shape of the package arrangement and thus of the entire Paneelverpackungssets can be achieved with simple means.

So that as few gaps between the individual packages of the package arrangement are present, so the space can be optimally utilized, and thus preferably even a top surface of the package arrangement is obtained, which lies in a plane is provided according to yet another embodiment of the Paneelverpackungssets invention, that the height of the panel packages corresponds to the height of the strip packages or an integral multiple of the height of the strip packages. By height is meant the dimension which is perpendicular to the surface of the carrier on which the package assembly rests. Alternatively, it can also be provided that the height of the strip packs corresponds to the height of the panel packs or to an integral multiple of the height of the panel packs.

Likewise, in order to avoid gaps within the package arrangement and preferably to reach a lateral surface or side surfaces of the package arrangement lying in a plane, according to yet another embodiment of the panel packaging set according to the invention, it is provided that the width of the panel packages is the width corresponds to the strip packs or an integral multiple of the width of the strip packs. By width is meant the smaller of the two dimensions that are parallel to the surface of the carrier on which the package assembly rests. Alternatively, it can also be provided that the width of the strip packs corresponds to the width of the panel packs or an integral multiple of the width of the panel packs.

In a package arrangement which has packages which correspond in width or whose width corresponds to an integer multiple of the width of the other packages, from a certain number of layers or from a certain height of the package arrangement decreases the stability of the package arrangement, can be provided be that the ratio of the width to the height of the Paneelpakete and / or strip packs is at least 2.25, preferably at least 2.50, more preferably at least 2.75. In this way, a sufficient footprint of each package is always guaranteed.

With a view to ensuring optimum stability of the package arrangement, instead of a corresponding width or a width of a package which corresponds to an integer multiple of the width of another package, it may be provided that the width of the strip packages is less than 100%, preferably less than 99%. , more preferably less than 98%, and more than 85%, preferably more than 90%, more preferably more than 95%, corresponds to the width of the panel packages. Alternatively, it is also conceivable that the width of the strip packs less than 100%, preferably less than 99%, more preferably less than 98%, and more than 85%, preferably more than 90%, more preferably more than 95%, of the width Panel packages corresponds. The aforementioned width ratios thus exclude that the widths of all packets of a packet arrangement are completely identical. In this case, if the packages are arranged abuttingly, an offset is achieved between at least some of the abutting edges of one of the layers and the nearest abutting edges of an adjacent one of the layers. Such an offset leads to a significant increase in the stability of the package arrangement. Even in the case that the widths of all types of packages (Paneelpakete, strip packs) or the width of a Paketart corresponds to an integer multiple of the width of another Paketart, may be provided between at least some of the abutting edges of one of the layers and the nearest edge of adjacent layers of the offset, which in this case a package arrangement leads to a significant increase in stability.

For reasons of stability, it can also be provided that an integer multiple of the total width of several panel packages, preferably all panel packages, of one layer corresponds to an integer multiple of the total width of several strip packs, preferably all strip packs, of a different layer. Also in this way, an offset between adjacent layers can be achieved.

An offset between at least some of the abutting edges of one of the layers and the nearest abutting edges of an adjacent one of the layers need not be provided for all layers, but some layers may be provided without offset in the package arrangement. Preferably, however, several layers which have no offset are always covered with a layer in which an offset as described above is provided relative to the layers underneath. In particular, at least two layers without offset from one another preferably follow from below or from the carrier upwards, preferably at least three layers without offset to one another, particularly preferably at least four layers without offset from one another, at least one layer with an offset of the abutting edges relative to the layers, which have no offset from each other. It is conceivable that the position in which an offset is provided, partially or completely from packages of a larger Width is made as the underlying layers that have no offset to each other. If, for example, the strip packs have a greater width than the panel packages, then it is conceivable that at least two layers, preferably at least three layers, particularly preferably at least four layers of exclusively panel packages, follow in the direction from bottom to top, at least one layer of strip packs.

According to yet another embodiment of the Paneelverpackungssets invention, it is provided that the fastening means and / or additional panel accessories, in particular laying material and / or laying aids and / or Belagerhaltungsmittel in at least one of the strips packages, especially in all strips packages, preferably in a separate from the skirting area , is / are arranged. Alternatively or additionally, it is also conceivable that the fastening means and / or additional panel accessories, in particular laying material and / or laying aids and / or Belagerhaltungsmittel, in at least one of the Paneelpakete, in particular in all Paneelpaketen, preferably in a separate area from the panels, is arranged / are. Under panel accessories are understood all types of accessories that are required or suitable for the installation of the covering or its preservation. In particular, for example, connecting pieces for the baseboards for connecting individual baseboards, radiator rosettes, floor profiles for doors and / or expansion joints covers may be provided in each case with fastening means. Laying material is understood in particular to be flat laying material, in particular panel pads, such as impact sound pads and / or vapor barriers, or adhesive or sealing compounds. Under laying assistance become in particular Spacers, measuring and marking tools and electronic data carriers, understood. In particular, cleaning agents, felt glides or a repair kit are understood to mean wear agents. By disposing the aforementioned panel accessory or at least a portion of the panel accessory in at least one of the last packages and / or the panel packages, the user or buyer is prevented from purchasing panel accessories which are not suitable for use with the panels of the panel packaging set.

According to yet another embodiment of the panel packaging set according to the invention, the amount of baseboards and / or panel accessories of the package arrangement is matched to the quantity of panels of the package arrangement. In this way, it is ensured that the user or buyer in a variety of cases with the panels automatically acquires the right number of baseboards and / or panel accessories.

There are now a variety of ways to design and further develop the Paneelverpackungsset invention. For this purpose, reference is made, on the one hand, to the claims subordinate to patent claim 1, and, on the other hand, to the description of exemplary embodiments in conjunction with the drawing. In the drawing shows:

A sixth embodiment of a Paneelverpackungssets invention.

Fig. 1 shows how in a modified form, the other figures, a Paneelverpackungsset 1 for floor or ceiling coverings, in particular laminate floor panels, with one or more Paneelpaketen 2, being packed in each panel 2.1, with one or more strip packs 3, wherein in each of the Packed panels 2.1 adapted baseboards 3.1 are packed, and with fasteners 8.1 and optionally further panel accessories 8.1. The Paneelpakete 2, the strip packs 3 and the attachment means 8.1 or optionally further existing panel 8.1 accessories are arranged together as a package assembly 4 on a common carrier 5 in the form of a transport pallet.

In the embodiment in Fig. 1 the package assembly 4 a plurality of layers 9 of vertically stacked packages 2 and 3, wherein each of the layers 9 of a plurality of longitudinally juxtaposed packages 2 and 3, wherein a layer 9 either of packages of the same type, for example, only package panels 2, or from packages with different package types, namely both panel 2 packages and strip packages 3, there. The package assembly 4 is further divided into three stacks 10 each having either multiple layers of the same package type or multiple layers of different package types. Of the stacks 10, for example, the two outer three layers 9.1, each with a single panel package 2. The middle of the layers 10 has at the bottom only a single panel package 2 and above two layers 9.2, each with a last packet 3. By this construction, dimensions are achieved which result in in-plane lateral surfaces and in one plane upper surface of the package assembly 4.

In particular, in Fig. 1 to recognize that the height H _{2 of} the Paneelpakete 2 corresponds to the height H ₃ of the strip packs 3. The width B _{2 of} the Paneelpakete 2 corresponds to the width B ₃ of the strip packages. 3

In contrast, in the FIGS. 2a ) and b) one embodiment of a Paneelverpackungssets 1 shown, in which the widths and heights do not fully correspond. According to Fig. 2a ) Although corresponds to the height H _{2 of} the Paneelpakete 2 the height H ₃ of the strip packs 3. Different than in Fig. 1 However, here corresponds to the width B _{2 of} the Paneelpakete 2 an integer multiple, namely twice, the width B ₃ of the strip packages 3. In Fig. 2b However, corresponds to the width B _{2 of} the Paneelpakete 2 of the width B ₃ of the strip packs 3. However, here corresponds to the height H _{2 of} the Paneelpakete 2 an integer multiple, namely twice, the height H ₃ of the strip packs 3rd

As the FIGS. 2a ) and b), is due to the selected width and height ratios of the individual packages 2 and 3 continue, as in Fig. 1 , guarantees that the upper surface and the side surfaces of the package assembly 4 are each in a plane.

Added to this is the FIGS. 1 . 2a ) and 2 B ) that for stability reasons, the package assembly 4 is limited to less than 20, preferably less than 15, more preferably less than 13, in the present example to three layers 9 and further the ratio of the width B ₂ to the height H _{2 of} the panel 2 at least 2 packages , 75 is. This also applies to the ratio of the width B ₃ to the height H _{3 of} the strip packs 3 in the FIGS. 1 and 2 B ). If only a few layers are shown in the attached figures, this is done only for reasons of clarity. Rather, the package arrangement, as indicated above, also have significantly more than ten layers, preferably more than 15 layers and more preferably more than 25 layers. The above applies to all conceivable Paneelverpackungssets invention.

In the Figures 3 and 4 the ratio of width to height of the panel packs 2 and the strip packs 3 is in each case below the value of the ratio in the exemplary embodiments described above (US Pat. Fig. 1 . Fig. 2a ) Fig. 2b )). In order in the embodiments of the Figures 3 and 4 to increase the stability, an offset 7 is provided between all abutting edges 6 of one of the layers 9 and the nearest abutting edges 6 of an adjacent one of the layers 9. As a result, the packages 3 and 4 respectively of adjacent layers hold each other.

As according to Fig. 3 the panel packages 2 and the strip packs 3 all have the same dimensions, the lateral surfaces of the package assembly 4 are not exactly in the same plane, but also these surfaces can detect the offset.

If despite an offset 7, the lateral surfaces of the package assembly 4 lie in a plane, so, as can Fig. 4 indicates one type of packet has a different width than the other type of packet. According to Fig. 4 the strip packs 3 have a smaller width than the panel packages 2. The reverse case is conceivable.

Fig. 5 shows an embodiment with exemplary nine layers 9, wherein each layer has only one type of packets. Thus, from bottom to top, always two layers 9 are provided from Paneelpaketen 2, followed by a layer of strip packs 3, which in turn is followed by two layers of Paneelpaketen 2, etc. Since in the present case, the strip packages 3 has a greater width than the Paneelpakete 2, there is always an offset of the abutting edges between the layer 9 with the strip packs 3 and the respectively adjacent layers. However, the panel packaging set 1 also always has two adjacent layers 9, namely layers of panel packages 2, which have no offset from one another of the abutting edges. In the present case, all strips packages 3 have the same width. However, it is also conceivable according to the invention that, for example in the lower part of the panel packaging set 1, the width of the strip packs 3 is greater than in another part, for example the upper part, of the panel packaging set 1. In particular, it is conceivable that in the lower part of the panel packaging set 1 the integer multiples of the width of several, but not all, strip packs 3 a location an integer multiple of the width of several, but not all, panel packets 2 another, in particular adjacent, location corresponds.

In all embodiments, moreover, what is not visible in the illustrated view, the length of all panel packages 2 is equal and the length of all strips packages 3 also the same. Also, the Paneelpakete 2 are the same length as the strip packages. 3

Finally, in all embodiments, which is schematically in the FIGS. 2a ) and b), provided that either in at least one of the strip packs 3 ( Fig. 2a )) or in at least one of the panel packages 2 (FIG. Fig. 2b )) Paneling 8.1 is arranged, including laying material and / or laying aids and / or Belagerhaltungsmittel.
