Description

The invention relates to a method for constructing or assembling a transport packaging made of cardboard material, in particular a cardboard packaging, and a correspondingly constructed transport packaging made of cardboard material.

In the production of transport packaging from cardboard material, it is known to fold a cardboard element cut to size in advance in a defined manner and thus to create a box-like receptacle for individual articles. It can also be provided that a structurally independent, double-layer partition is used in the receiving space and glued to the inner surfaces of the receiving container via adhesive tabs in order to enable a stable division of the receiving space, as shown in FIG US 8,567,661 B2 is suggested. The associated expenditures or costs can, however, be considerable, so that such a design is only suitable to a limited extent when the aim is to achieve transport packaging that is as inexpensive as possible.

The U.S. 3,749,299 A describes a box-like folding box with vertically extending slits on the inside of its multilayer wall sections. These slots are provided for holding or positively receiving the front ends of individual, plate-shaped partition walls with which plate-shaped partition walls separate compartments are built up within the folding box. The time required for the manual assembly of such a folding box is quite high and also requires increased skill.

An increased level of dexterity is also required for the assembly of a known transport packaging, as it is from the Fig. 1 and 2 of the document in question.

US4067492 discloses a shipping package and a method for building a shipping package. The transport packaging made of cardboard material comprises a receiving box and four wall elements protruding therefrom to create a receiving space open at the top, a dividing element with a U-shaped cross-section being formed from a folded cardboard material, which comprises a base section and two leg sections protruding therefrom, and one transverse to the U-shaped dividing element extending intermediate wall element is formed.

The object of the present invention was to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide an improved transport packaging with a plurality of receiving compartments to make available or to create a method for assembling a transport packaging, which can be carried out as quickly and easily as possible.

This object is achieved by a method according to the claims.

• Bereitstellen einer Aufnahmeschachtel mit einem rechteckigen oder quadratischen Bodenelement und vier davon emporstehenden Wandelementen zur Schaffung eines oben offenen Aufnahmeraumes;
• Vorsehen bzw. Bereitstellen von jeweils wenigstens zwei zueinander beabstandeten, in den Aufnahmeraum ragenden Stütznasen bzw. Vorsprüngen an zwei einander gegenüber liegenden Wandelementen der Aufnahmeschachtel;
• Bereitstellen von zumindest einem im Querschnitt im Wesentlichen U-förmigen Unterteilungselement aus einem gefalteten Kartonmaterial, umfassend einen Basisabschnitt und zwei davon emporstehende Schenkelabschnitte;
• Einsetzen des zumindest einen U-förmigen Unterteilungselements in die Aufnahmeschachtel, sodass dessen Basisabschnitt am Bodenelement anliegt und sich die voneinander abgewandten Außenseiten der Schenkelabschnitte des zumindest einen U-förmigen Unterteilungselements an der nächstliegend jeweils zugeordneten Stütznase abstützen, sodass ein elastisches Aufspreizen der Schenkelabschnitte relativ zum gemeinsamen Basisabschnitt begrenzt oder unterbunden ist;
• formschlüssiges Verbinden bzw. Zusammenfügen von zumindest einem quer zu dem zumindest einen U-förmigen Unterteilungselement verlaufenden Zwischenwandelement mit den via die Stütznasen positioniert gehalterten bzw. in Soll-Position befindlichen Schenkelabschnitten des zumindest einen U-förmigen Unterteilungselements.

According to the invention, a method for setting up or assembling a transport packaging from cardboard material is provided, the method comprising the following method steps:

• Providing a receiving box with a rectangular or square base element and four wall elements protruding therefrom to create a receiving space open at the top;
• Providing or providing in each case at least two spaced-apart support lugs or projections projecting into the receiving space on two opposing wall elements of the receiving box;
• Providing at least one dividing element, which is essentially U-shaped in cross section, made of a folded cardboard material, comprising a base section and two leg sections protruding therefrom;
• Insertion of the at least one U-shaped dividing element into the receiving box so that its base section rests against the bottom element and the outer sides of the leg sections of the at least one U-shaped dividing element facing away from each other are supported on the closest respectively assigned support lug, so that the leg sections are elastically spread apart relative to the common Base section is limited or prohibited;
• form-fitting connection or joining of at least one intermediate wall element running transversely to the at least one U-shaped subdivision element with the leg sections of the at least one U-shaped subdivision element held or in the desired position via the support lugs.

The method according to the invention has the particular advantage that even a transport packaging with an increased number of receiving compartments can be assembled quickly and easily or in a process-stable manner. This favors the economy, especially in connection with manual assembly of the transport packaging.

Because the at least one U-shaped dividing element is inserted in advance into the storage box provided and is held in position by the protruding support lugs, it is subsequently relatively simple or uncomplicated to connect the at least one partition element that runs transversely to this with a form-fitting coupling with respect to the at least insert or install a U-shaped dividing element. Due to the specified structure and the specified assembly method, it is not necessary that those people who have to assemble the corresponding transport packaging have increased skills or require special training.

Furthermore, it can be useful if at least one pair of spaced-apart support lugs is provided on the two opposing wall elements of the receiving box, and that a U-shaped dividing element is supported by means of opposing pairs of support lugs. This prevents unwanted spreading of its two legs at both ends of the at least one U-shaped dividing element, so that the subsequent positive coupling with the at least one transverse partition element can be carried out quickly and without complications.

The at least one intermediate wall element can also be formed by an element of folded cardboard material which is essentially U-shaped in cross section and which comprises a base section and two leg sections protruding therefrom. As a result, transport packaging with an increased number of storage compartments can be assembled quickly and efficiently.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the positive connection between the at least one U-shaped dividing element and the at least one partition element is established by slits in the leg sections of the at least one U-shaped partition element and by complementary slits in the leg sections and in the base section of the at least one partition element. As a result, an extensive compartment can be built up within the receiving box, which can withstand loads that typically occur.

According to a practicable procedure it is provided that all U-shaped dividing elements required for the construction of the transport packaging are inserted one after the other directly into the receiving box and then the at least one transverse partition element is inserted directly into the receiving box. In particular, in a first step U-shaped dividing elements can be inserted into the receiving box and in a subsequent step transverse partition elements can be inserted into the receiving box so that between 6 and 49 receiving compartments, in particular between 15 and 35 receiving compartments, preferably 25 at least partially separated from each other Receiving compartments for bottle-like or can-like containers are formed within the receiving box. The corresponding assembly process can thus be carried out quickly and without problems even with a relatively large number of receiving compartments to be built up.

und wobei zumindest ein quer zu dem zumindest einen U-förmigen Unterteilungselement verlaufendes Zwischenwandelement ausgebildet ist, welches mit den via die Stütznasen positioniert gehalterten Schenkelabschnitten des zumindest einen U-förmigen Unterteilungselements formschlüssig verbunden ist.The object of the invention is also achieved by a transport packaging made of cardboard material, which transport packaging comprises the following features:

• a receiving box with a rectangular or square base element and four wall elements protruding therefrom to create a receiving space open at the top;
• in each case at least two spaced-apart support lugs or projections projecting into the receiving space on two opposing wall elements of the receiving box;
• at least one dividing element with a substantially U-shaped cross-section made of a folded cardboard material, comprising a base section and two leg sections protruding therefrom,

wherein the at least one U-shaped subdivision element is inserted into the receiving box in such a way that its base section rests on or rests against the bottom element and the outer sides of the leg sections of the at least one U-shaped subdivision element that are facing away from one another are supported on the closest respectively assigned support nose, so that elastic spreading of the leg sections relative to the common base section is limited or prevented,
and wherein at least one intermediate wall element running transversely to the at least one U-shaped dividing element is formed, which is positively connected to the leg sections of the at least one U-shaped dividing element held in position via the support lugs.

The advantageous effects and technical effects that can be achieved with such transport packaging can be found in the preceding and following parts of the description.

It can also be expedient if the base sections of the at least one U-shaped dividing element and base sections of at least one U-shaped partition element bear load-transferring on the bottom element of the receiving box. This creates a floor element that is at least partially multi-layered and therefore reinforced, which can withstand increased loads. The material requirement is low and the base sections of the U-shaped elements inserted into the receiving box fulfill a multiple function in a synergetic manner.

It can also be provided that the front ends of the at least one U-shaped dividing element butt against planar inner sides of the opposing wall elements and the front ends of the at least one partition element butt against planar inner sides of the transverse wall elements. As a result, the transport packaging can be joined or plugged together as quickly and easily as possible and, at the same time, the most cost-effective structure possible for the receiving box.

According to an advantageous embodiment it can be provided that the support lugs are formed by projections knocked out of the wall elements or integrally implemented on the wall elements. As a result, sufficiently stable support lugs can be created in a cost-effective and efficient manner.

For a better understanding of the invention, it is explained in more detail with reference to the following figures.

By way of introduction, it should be noted that in the differently described embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference symbols or the same component designations, whereby the disclosures contained in the entire description can be transferred accordingly to the same parts with the same reference symbols or the same component names. The position details chosen in the description, such as for example top, bottom, side, etc., refer to the figure immediately described and shown and these position details are to be transferred accordingly to the new position in the event of a change in position.

In the Fig. 1 and 2 a transport packaging 1 known from the prior art or the usual procedure for assembling it is illustrated. Such a transport packaging 1 is suitable for transporting or storing a plurality of articles, such as bottles, cans or other receptacles for liquids or solid substances. Particularly when the bottles to be transported and / or stored are formed by glass bottles, for example wine or beer bottles, transport packaging 1 of this type can be used to achieve transport that is more practical and better protected from breakage.

The respective number of receiving compartments 2 for the articles (not shown) that can be placed in the transport packaging 1 is primarily defined by a plurality of plate-shaped separating webs 3, 4 which run orthogonally to one another and can be coupled to one another in a form-fitting manner. In the embodiment according to Fig. 1 and 2 a total of four spaced, parallel, plate-shaped separating webs 3 are provided, as well as a total of four transverse to the first separating webs 3, second separating webs 4 are provided, which are also arranged at a certain distance from one another. When the first and second separating webs 3, 4 are joined together, there is thus a compartment 5, as in the upper section of FIG Fig. 2 is exemplified.

This multi-part, integrally joined compartments 5 is therefore usually built up by plate-shaped separating webs 3, 4 inserted into one another in a form-fitting manner, as shown in FIG Fig. 1 is illustrated. In this case, several first plate-shaped separating webs 3 are positively connected to several second further separating webs 4 running transversely to the first separating webs 3. Coupling slots 6 embodied in the first separating webs 3 are suitable for this purpose, which correspond to further coupling slots 7 running in opposite directions or opposite to the same in the further separating webs 4, in particular can be set in a form-fitting interaction. This type of interlocking connection between the first and second plate-shaped separating webs 3, 4 corresponds approximately to a so-called overlapping of elements crossing one another.

The structural design of the known compartment 5 according to Fig. 1 requires increased skill when assembling this compartment 5 after the individual plate-shaped separators 3, 4 must be aligned exactly to each other in order to be able to establish the mutual positive coupling.

The transport packaging 1 known from the prior art according to FIG Fig. 2 is completed by dividing the previously assembled compartment 5 ( Fig. 1 ) is subsequently transferred or inserted into an upwardly open receiving box 8, as best the Fig. 2 is removable and was illustrated by a downward arrow. This receptacle box 8 represents, so to speak, an outer boundary or a base element for the pre-fabricated or assembled compartment 5. If necessary, a cover element (not shown) can be provided with which an upper closure or an upper delimitation cover for the one inserted into the receptacle box 8 Compartments 5 can be created.

Alternatively or in combination with this, it is also possible to use the known transport packaging 1 as shown in FIG Fig. 2 is illustrated to stabilize or to delimit to the outside by a cover, for example made of a plastic film. This so-called outer packaging with respect to the compartment 5 can also be made in several parts or be formed from different materials.

In the Figures 3 to 9 is an improved version of a generic transport packaging 1 ( Figures 8, 9 ) or an improved method for assembling or joining such a transport packaging 1 is illustrated ( Figures 3 to 7 ).

In the illustrated embodiment, the transport packaging 1 has a total of 25 receiving compartments 2, which are provided for receiving a total of 25 bottle or can-like containers. Of course, the number of available storage compartments 2 within the transport packaging 1 can also be selected to be lower or higher. An expediently designed transport packaging 1 comprises between 6 and 49 receiving compartments, in particular between 15 and 35 receiving compartments, for example 25 receiving compartments 2 for bottle-like or can-like containers, which are at least partially separated from one another. The advantages of the specified transport packaging 1 or assembly method come primarily from a relatively large number of storage compartments 2 to carry more, in particular with a number of 20 and more (greater than or equal to 20) individual storage compartments 2 particularly to advantage.

To create the improved transport packaging 1 according to Fig. 8 is in contrast to the training according to the Fig. 1 , 2 no prefabricated compartment 5 built up. Rather, individual or subdivision elements are provided, which are sequentially or almost simultaneously directly into a provided receiving box 8 ( Fig. 5 ) can be inserted or used. In particular, according to the exemplary sequence diagrams or excerpted scenes according to the Figures 3 to 7 the compartment 5 is assembled or joined together directly in the receiving box 8.

As best from a synopsis of the Figs. 3 to 5 As can be seen, among other things, a receiving box 8 open at the top or a similar, for example box-shaped or trough-shaped receiving container is provided. This receiving box 8 is typically made from cardboard or corrugated cardboard and designed as a folding box. The receiving box 8, which is essentially cuboid in terms of its outer contour, comprises an at least approximately rectangular or square bottom element 9. Four wall elements 10, 10 'and 11, 11' projecting from the bottom element 9 define the receiving space 12 of the receiving box 8. This receiving space 12 or Its receiving volume, which can also be referred to as the so-called water volume, can be selected to be smaller than the volume of the goods or articles to be transported. In particular, it can be expedient if a height 13 of the receiving box 8 or its wall elements 10, 10 ′, 11, 11 ′ is lower than a web height 14 of dividing elements 15 to be inserted or inserted therein.

The receiving box 8 has in relation to opposing wall elements 10, 10 'in each case at least two mutually spaced support lugs 16, 17 or 16', 17 '. These support lugs 16, 17 or 16 ', 17' are preferably designed close to the upper delimiting edge of the receiving box 8 or its wall elements 10, 10 '. These support lugs 16, 17 or 16 ', 17' protrude from the upper edge or edge section of the receiving box 8 in the direction of the center or receiving space 12 of the receiving box 8 ( Fig. 5 ). A cantilever width 18 of the support lugs 16, 17 or 16 ', 17' can only be a fraction or also a multiple of a thickness 19 of the wall elements 10, 10 '(see Fig. 5 , 9 ). It is useful if the cantilever width 18 of the support lugs 16, 16 'or 17, 17' is 0.5 to 4 times, in particular 1.0 to 3 times, preferably approximately 2 times the thickness 19 of the wall elements 10, 10 'is. A vertical height of the support lugs 16, 17 or 16 ', 17' can be 0.5 to 5 times the cantilever width 18 in order to achieve a favorable ratio between the manufacturing effort and the support effect.

The support lugs 16, 16 'and 17, 17' are preferably formed by integrally formed projections 20 of the wall elements 10, 10 '. The support lugs 16, 16 'or 17, 17' protruding in the direction of the receiving space 12 in the manner of support frames or support brackets are therefore preferably formed by projections 20 formed in one piece on the wall elements 10, 10 '.

In particular, it is useful if the support lugs 16, 16 'and 17, 17' are formed by so-called knocked out projections 20 on the wall elements 10 and 10 ', as shown in FIG Fig. 9 is shown as an example. In the Fig. 9 The supporting nose 16 shown is detached or knocked out of an at least 2-layer, in particular 3-layer, wall element 10. Each of these layers of the wall element 10 or 10 'is preferably formed from corrugated cardboard or from cardboard which is folded to form the corresponding wall element 10, 10'. Preferably, corrugated cardboard or cardboard box has been cut to size in advance according to a defined sectional model and folded according to a defined folding scheme in order to assemble the receiving box 8.

In the illustrated embodiment, the wall element 10 (like the opposite wall element 10 ') has a three-layer structure and comprises two outer layers, which are formed by the material of the wall element 10 per se, while the middle layer is formed by the material of the transverse wall element 11' is defined. Deviating from this three-layer wall structure, it is also possible to provide a wall structure with only two layers for the wall element 10 or 10 'and still be able to implement the support lugs 16, 17 or 16', 17 'therein.

The integrally executed support lugs 16, 17 or 16 ′, 17 ′ on the wall elements 10 and 10 ′ are formed by slits or narrow incisions 21 in the material of the wall elements 10 or 10 'provided ( Fig. 7 , 9 ). In addition, embossed lines 22 ( Fig. 9 ) be made in the material of the wall elements 10 or 10 'in order to achieve a defined folding of the material of the wall element 10 or 10'. Through the incisions 21 and embossed lines 22 in the material of the wall elements 10 and 10 ', the support lugs 16, 17 and 16', 17 'described above can be folded out of the wall elements 10 and 10' in a defined manner or from the cardboard or box. Corrugated cardboard material to be knocked out. As a result, the simplest possible structural design, in particular a one-piece construction of the wall elements 10, 10 'with the support lugs 16, 17 or 16', 17 'integrally formed thereon, can be achieved. In particular, by means of incisions 21 that are easy to manufacture in terms of production technology, by means of any embossed lines 22, and by means of at least two-layer folding of the material of the wall element 10 or 10 '( Fig. 9 ) an integral and sufficiently stable design of projections 20 in the vicinity of the upper boundary edge of the wall elements 10 or 10 'can be created. The projections 20 or support lugs 16, 17 or 16 ', 17' created by cutting or folding technology are thus primarily created by incisions 21 in the material of the wall elements 10 and 10 'that run essentially parallel to one another ( Fig. 5 and 9 ).

For the construction of the transport packaging 1, at least one ultimately U-shaped dividing element 15 is also required. This dividing element 15, which is essentially U-shaped in cross section in the state of use, is in the initial state, as shown in FIG Fig. 3 is shown, executed flat or plate-like.

In the operational state, this dividing element 15 is then folded in a U-shape, as best shown in the Fig. 6 and 7th can be seen. Depending on the number of receiving compartments 2 which are to be formed within the receiving box 8, the number of required, ultimately U-shaped dividing elements 15 can vary. In the illustrated embodiment according to the Figures 6 to 8 two U-shaped dividing elements 15 are inserted or used in the receiving box 8. The U-shaped dividing elements 15 are preferably made of a flat or plate-like cardboard material, for example corrugated cardboard. How best to look Fig. 3 As can be seen, essentially square or rectangular cardboard elements can be provided as the starting material which each have a plurality of slits 23 which, starting from mutually opposite longitudinal edges, each run perpendicularly in the direction of the central axis 24 of the square or rectangular cardboard material 25.

The corresponding cardboard material 25 is then folded in such a way that it ultimately forms the U-shaped dividing element 15. For this purpose, the cardboard material 25 - Fig. 3 - A strip-shaped base section 26 and two leg sections 27, 28 adjoining this base section 26. When deployed or in use according to Fig. 5 , 6th and 7th the corresponding subdivision element 15, which is to be brought or inserted directly into the receiving box 8, is then shaped or folded in such a way that it comprises a lower base section 26 and two leg sections 27, 28 standing up to the side thereof ( Fig. 7 ).

Especially in the Fig. 5 and 6th it can be seen how the U-shaped dividing element 15 or a plurality of U-shaped dividing elements 15 ( Fig. 6 ) is inserted into the receiving box 8. It is provided that the base section 26 of the U-shaped dividing element 15 is supported on the base element 9 or rests against it. In addition, it is provided that the outer surfaces or outer sides 29, 30 of the leg sections 27, 28 facing away from one another are supported on the closest respectively assigned support lug 16, 17 or 16 ', 17'. In particular, this support is provided via the support lugs 16, 17 or 16 ', 17' in such a way that an elastic spreading of the leg sections 27, 28 relative to the common base section 26 is limited or prevented. In particular, the leg sections 27, 28 tend to merge into a flat or planar shape, as they are in the initial state according to FIG Fig. 3 is illustrated. This is even the case if contour-giving depressions or embossing grooves 31 representing a type of film hinge or similar notches or grooves are incorporated into the cardboard material 25, as shown in FIG Fig. 3 is shown by way of example. This tendency of the cardboard material 25 to expand ( Fig. 5 ) is primarily caused by the elastic restoring forces in the deformation or kink area between the base section 26 and the leg sections 27, 28. The integral support lugs 16, 17 and 16 ', 17' on the wall elements 10 and 10 'prevent an undesired deviation from the planned, U-shaped cross-section of the dividing element 15 as soon as it has been inserted or inserted into the receiving box 8 ( Fig. 6 ).

In the embodiment according to Fig. 6 two subdivision elements 15 aligned parallel to one another and having a U-shaped cross-section have been inserted into the receiving box 8 at the positions in accordance with the plan, the outer sides 29, 30 of the respective U-shaped subdivision elements 15 being attached to the closest assigned support lugs 16, 17 and 16 ' Support, 17 '. As a result, the planned or desired position of the ultimately U-shaped subdivision elements 15 is ensured or retained in a secured manner.

This insertion or installation of the U-shaped subdivision elements 15 in the provided storage box 8 can be carried out quickly and without special consideration of the positioning and positional stability of the U-shaped subdivision elements 15 ( Fig. 5 ).

As soon as the required number of U-shaped dividing elements 5 has been introduced into the receiving box 8 - in the embodiment according to FIGS Fig. 5 , 6th if there are two such elements - the assembly of the transport packaging 1 to be achieved can - according to Fig. 8 - be continued. To do this - how best to look Fig. 6 it can be seen - at least one intermediate wall element 32 is inserted into the partially assembled receiving box 8. In particular, at least one intermediate wall element 32 running transversely to the U-shaped dividing element or elements 15 is positively connected to the leg sections 27, 28 of the at least one U-shaped dividing element 15. In particular, at least one U-shaped dividing element 15 within the receiving box 8 with at least one partition or partition element 32 to be inserted transversely into the receiving box 8 is carried out, as best shown Fig. 6 can be seen.

Such a partition or partition element 32 can be formed in the simplest case by a planar or plate-like element with complementary slots 33 opposite the slots 23 in the U-shaped dividing element 15. Instead of using a plate-like or planar partition or partition wall element 32, it is also possible, according to a further development, to form the at least one partition wall element 32 by an element of folded cardboard material 25 which is essentially U-shaped in cross section, as shown in FIGS Fig. 4 , 6th and 7th was exemplified. This Ultimately, U-shaped intermediate wall element 32 comprises a central or central base section 34 and two leg sections 35, 36 standing up therefrom, as can best be seen from an overview Fig. 4 and 6th can be seen as an example.

As best from a synopsis of the Fig. 6 and 7th can be removed, is achieved in that a secure or stabilizing positive connection can be established between the at least one U-shaped partition element 15 and the at least one partition element 32 by the complementary slots 33 in the leg sections 36, 37 of the at least one partition element 32 in the leg sections 27, 28 of the at least one U-shaped dividing element 15 engage - and vice versa.

How best from the Fig. 5 and 6th As can be seen, in view of the specified assembly method or transport packaging 1, it is ensured that simple and efficient assembly can be carried out. Nevertheless, the final transport packaging 1 ( Fig. 8 ) can be set up or implemented inexpensively. This is achieved, among other things, in that two pairs of spaced apart support lugs 16, 17 or 16 ', 17' are provided on two opposing wall elements 10, 10 'of the receiving box 8, and that via two opposing pairs of support lugs 16, 17 or 16 ', 17' a U-shaped dividing element 15 from a group of two U-shaped dividing elements 15 is supported ( Fig. 8 ).

As above all from a synopsis of the processes according to the Figures 5 to 8 As can be seen, all or all of the required dividing elements 15 and all of the necessary or required partition elements 32 are inserted one after the other directly into the receiving box 8, with all U-shaped dividing elements 15 being inserted into the receiving box 8 provided first and then at least an intermediate wall element 32 running transversely to this is inserted, which can be designed flat or in cross section, preferably also U-shaped.
