Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an outer packaging which can be folded out from a flat, folded layer to form a polygonal spatial shape, forms a circumferentially closed ring and has vertical side walls which are connected to one another via jointly formed corners of the spatial shape, and to a method for producing an outer packaging with in the Height extension divided side walls.
  • outer packaging is known from the prior art, which are preferably made from a cardboard or corrugated cardboard.
  • the outer packaging usually consists of four flat side walls, which can be folded together in bundles of several outer packaging in a space-saving manner, for example with two sides each, in order to store and transport the outer packaging, and which can be unfolded for use, for example, into cubic or cuboid spatial shapes .
  • the goods to be packaged are then placed in the thus defined and delimited interior so that they are better protected against possible damage during later storage and transport.
  • Such packaging is available in different sizes on the market. However, they must then be procured and kept in the desired size.
  • cube-shaped or cuboid folding cartons - preferably made of corrugated cardboard - are also known, in which flaps located at the upper and lower ends are folded over to form a bottom and to close the carton.
  • the tabs are annoying when filling the carton because they stick out to the side.
  • the side walls can be constructed from several closed rings from side walls to a desired height. If the first ring has a height of only 50 cm, for example, the packets of goods to be packaged can be placed in this ring much more easily and stacked therein. The packaging personnel no longer have to lift the parcels over side walls that are too high and then have to bend deep into a box to place the parcel in them.
  • the hinge can be formed by folding the material of the ring or a material weakening present in this area, or special materials are introduced in the hinge area, such as a film or the like, which allows a side wall to be pivotally pivoted in relation to an adjacent side wall. Due to the hinge-like connection of the side walls to each other, a ring can be folded up to save space, but can also be set up to its desired packaging volume.
  • a second ring with a height of, for example, 50 cm can be used here, or only a ring with a height of the side walls of 25 cm is used. If necessary, a third or fourth ring with a suitable height of the side walls can be attached accordingly. In this way, outer packaging with a total height of the side walls of, for example, 75 cm, 1 m or other heights can be built up.
  • the side walls are divided in the horizontal direction, but they are sufficiently strong for packaging purposes because the rings are held sufficiently tightly together by the clamping tabs.
  • the support strips with the clamping tabs formed on them can easily be placed in the corner areas of the outer packaging on the upper edges of the side walls be plugged on.
  • the upper ring of side walls is already fixed in its spatial position with a certain strength.
  • a better fixation results, however, if the support strips are placed on, for example, all four corners of an outer packaging with a square base in the corner area on the upper edges of the side walls.
  • By supporting the support strips in the corner area By supporting the support strips in the corner area, torsional forces and other loads acting on the outer packaging are transferred better and more evenly to the rings connected to the support strips and the associated side walls.
  • the packaging personnel can quickly put the support strips onto the lower ring and insert the upper ring into the clamping tabs of the support strips.
  • the components are connected without tools.
  • the required rings from side walls and in support boxes in boxes ready for removal can easily be provided at any packaging workstation.
  • the packaging persons can set the height of the outer packaging as high as is necessary for the goods to be packaged by suitable combinations of ring heights. In this way it can be avoided that shipping units are handed over to a forwarding agent for transportation that have a side wall height of 1 m, but only goods are packed therein that have a height of less than 50 cm.
  • the transport costs calculated by the shipping company will decrease by 50% if they are calculated depending on the volume.
  • a finished packaging filled with goods can finally be finished with tapes, stretch films and other means suitable for fixing the packaging.
  • the outer packaging is set with the lower side walls in a bottom part.
  • the base part can be a plate, trough with side walls protruding at the corners or the side edges, or a pallet.
  • the first ring can be connected to the bottom part by means of suitable connection aids such as clips, glue, adhesive strips, insertion tabs inserted into prepared slots with latches or the like, or the first ring is only placed on the bottom part and the firm connection takes place only at the end of the packaging process by straps, strapping, stretch film or the like.
  • a cover part is placed on the upper side walls of the outer packaging.
  • the cover part can be a flat plate or a cover with side walls drawn down at the corners or the side edges and overlapping the side parts of the rings.
  • anti-slip elements are applied to the top of the cover part. If several outer packagings are stacked on top of one another during transport, the anti-slip elements can prevent or at least reduce the risk that the outer packagings slide onto one another and a outer packaging falls down from an outer packaging located underneath.
  • the clamping tabs formed on the inner and outer edges are at a distance from adjacent clamping tabs arranged on the same side of the inner or outer edge.
  • the clamping tabs are not formed continuously over the full length of the support strips. This saves material on the support ledges. With the same use of material, the support ledges can become longer, whereby they can transmit the forces acting on them more uniformly and not only selectively in the direct corner area to the rings connected to the support ledge.
  • the clamping tabs formed opposite one another on the inner and outer edges are arranged offset to one another.
  • the holding forces from the clamping tabs act alternately from outside and inside over the length of the support strip on the surfaces of the rings contacted by the clamping tabs. Since the side walls bulge slightly in the direction of force under the acting force, there is a slight waveform in the side walls in the insertion area of an insertion channel, which results in the adhesion between the surfaces of the clamping tabs and the side walls increased and a kind of positive connection of the side wall in the insertion channel is created, which complicates relative movements of the side wall in the insertion channel. This increases the stability and resilience of the connection of the rings to one another via the support strips.
  • the support strips have kinks with material recesses or material weakenings.
  • the support strips can be manufactured cost-effectively as an injection-molded extruded profile, as an endless log or as an individual part using the injection-molding process. So that the support strips can still be processed in the corner area as a component connecting over a corner in an outer packaging, it is necessary to design a support strip produced as an endless extruded profile or as an individual part in an injection molding process in such a way that it is bent into an appropriate shape as an extruded profile can.
  • a support bar has material recesses or material weaknesses in the area of an intended kink, which simplify a corresponding kinking of the extruded profile of the support bar.
  • the material recesses or material weaknesses must be introduced into the extruded profile after the endless strand has emerged from the tool.
  • adjacent clamping tabs which form a corner and are located on the outer edge are connected to one another by a film hinge.
  • the foil hinge serves the purpose to transfer forces acting on one leg of a support strip across the corner to the leg located on the other side of the corner. The foil hinge thus contributes to increasing the strength of the connection of the two rings to one another.
  • clamping tabs formed on the inner edge protrude higher above the support bar than clamping tabs formed on the outer edge.
  • the higher clamping lugs help to position the upper ring as precisely as possible over the lower ring and the clamping lugs and to align them as precisely as possible before the upper ring is inserted in the insertion channel assigned to it is pushed in.
  • the clamping tabs have stiffening ribs. Due to the stiffening ribs, the clamping tabs are stiffer overall without the material costs for the support strips increasing significantly. Due to the greater rigidity, the support strips are more stable, less prone to breakage and increase the protective effect of the outer packaging for the goods packed therein.
  • the clamping tabs on their inner side facing the support strip face away from the surrounding surface of the clamping lens protruding clamping lugs or barbs.
  • the clamping lugs or barbs on the clamping tabs should press into the material of the side walls when inserting the side walls into the insertion channel or even penetrate into it, so that the ring can only be pulled out of the insertion channel with much greater effort. As a result, a ring is held better in its installed position and the outer packaging is more stable overall.
  • the side walls are made of corrugated cardboard.
  • Corrugated cardboard is a material that has been tried and tested and is particularly well suited for packaging purposes.On the one hand, it is sufficiently light not to make packaging and transport unnecessarily difficult, but on the other hand it offers a high protection potential against damage to the goods packed with it.
  • the clamping tabs have a shape by which the insertion channel is widened at its insertion end in relation to the deeper sections. The widening makes it easier to thread the edges of the rings into the insertion channel.
  • a Euro pallet 2 lying on the floor is shown, on which a base part 4 is placed.
  • the bottom part 4 can have laterally attached, upwardly projecting side walls 6.
  • a lower ring 8 can be placed, which in Fig. 2 is shown.
  • the ring 8 has four standing side walls 10.
  • the respective side walls 10 are connected to one another via the respective corners to form adjacent side walls 10, so that the ring 8 is closed on the circumference is.
  • the ring 8 is set up in such a way that a cuboid spatial shape results. Goods can be placed in the interior of the ring 8 for packaging purposes.
  • the ring 8 has an upwardly facing upper edge 12 on which a support bar 14 can be placed.
  • the support bar 14 is in Fig. 3 shown in more detail.
  • the support bar 14 has an inner edge 16 and an outer edge 18.
  • the clamping tabs 20 each define an insertion channel 22 between them, into which the side walls 10 of the upper and lower Ring 8, 38 can be inserted.
  • Fig. 3 the support bar 14 is shown in a version bent at a right angle.
  • the kink 26 in which, in the exemplary embodiment, the two legs of the support bar 14 are only connected to one another by a film hinge 28.
  • the film hinge 28 connects two adjacent clamping tabs 20 which are arranged adjacent to one another in the region of the kink 26.
  • clamping tabs 20 each have stiffening ribs 32 which are formed in the edge region in the exemplary embodiment.
  • barbs 34 on the side of the clamping tabs 20 facing the support strip 14.
  • the barbs 34 can dig into the material of the side walls 10 when it is inserted into the insertion channel 22.
  • the barb 34 is shaped such that it counteracts a pull-out movement of a side wall 10 from the insertion channel 22.
  • the widenings 36 can be seen, which are formed on the inner surfaces of the clamping tabs 20 for the insertion opening of the insertion channels 22.
  • the clamping tabs 20 arranged on the inner edge 16 and the outer edge 18 are each spaced apart from one another, and there are large free spaces between the clamping tabs 20 on one side of the support bar 14.
  • the clamping tabs 20 attached to the opposite inner and outer edges 16, 18 are, however, offset from one another in the longitudinal direction of the support bar 14, so that wherever there is a clamping tab 20 on one side of the support bar 14, on the opposite side of the support bar 14 no clamping tab 20 is formed.
  • the Fig. 4 shows what the outer packaging looks like after the different support strips 14 have been placed on the upper edges 12 of the side walls 10 of the ring 8 in the corner areas of the ring 8 and then the upper ring 38 has been inserted into the upward insertion channel 22 of the support bar 14.
  • the clamping tabs 20 are connected to the lower ring 8 and the upper ring 38 both on the outside and on the inside and connect these two rings 8, 38 to one another.
  • the upper ring 38 corresponds to the lower ring 8 in terms of its length and the spatial shape
  • side walls 10 which are divided in terms of their vertical extension result after the upper ring 38 has been fitted, which are each formed by the corresponding surfaces of the rings 8 and 38. From the comparison of the Figures 2 and 4th can be seen that it is much easier to start with the ring 8 as in Fig. 2 shown to be filled with goods to be packed before the upper ring 38 is placed thereon.
  • more than two rings 8, 38 can also be stacked on top of one another.
  • the support strips 14 have turned out to be comparatively long, so that there is a connection and support of the upper ring 38 with the lower ring 8 over almost the entire length of the upper edge 12.
  • the support bar 14 can of course also be shorter.
  • Fig. 5 an outer packaging is shown, on which a cover part 40 is placed.
  • Slip-resistant elements 42 are applied to the surface of the cover part 40, which at least make it more difficult for a pallet which is placed on the cover part 40 to slip.
  • the invention is not restricted to the exemplary embodiment described above. It is no problem for the person skilled in the art to modify the exemplary embodiment in a manner which seems suitable to him, in order to adapt it to a specific application.
