Definitions
- the invention relates to a cushioning material for packaging purposes, as well as a method for cushioning an object according to the preambles of the respective independent claims.
- a cushioning material can be, for example, a plastic bubble wrap, or another one three-dimensional cushioning material, which has bulges similar to an egg carton, for example.
- the present invention has the object of providing a cushioning material and a method which is particularly easily suitable for protecting an object to be packaged.
- the cushioning material according to the invention for packaging purposes comprises at least one flat element which has at least one edge section and one cushion section. It is not absolutely necessary here for the cushion section to have a different configuration from the edge section. Rather, the cushion section can of course extend to the edge of the edge section.
- the two sections differ only in their primary function, in that the cushion section is primarily upholstered, whereas the edge section primarily delimits the flat element.
- a flat element does not have to be flat and planar, but of course can have one or more curvatures and a relevant thickness. "Flat” in this context only means that the thickness is smaller than each of the other two Cartesian dimensions.
- the cushion portion provides a desired property for protecting an article to be packaged.
- an adhesive system is applied at least in some areas, which is designed for a connection to another section of another that can be detached again without aids, for example without special heat and without special tools, and non-destructively, i.e. without damaging the cushioning material or the object flat element or the same flat element.
- the method according to the invention comprises the following steps: wrapping the object with a flat element or several contiguous flat elements; Fastening at least one edge section of the planar element or the planar elements by means of the releasable adhesive system, in particular to another edge section of the planar element or another planar element.
- the person who packs an object to be protected with the cushioning material according to the invention does not have to handle any additional elements, such as dispensers for adhesive strips, cords, etc., in order to securely fix the cushioning material.
- the cushioning material itself has an adhesive system which makes it possible to reliably connect an edge section of the planar element of the cushioning material to another section of the same planar element or to a section of another planar element.
- multiple wrapping of the object to be protected can be dispensed with, which saves padding material. This protects the environment and lowers costs.
- the adhesive system is designed in such a way that the edge section can be detached from the other section at any time without tools and in a non-destructive manner. In this way, for example, a repositioning of the Edge portion of the flat element possible in order to optimize the protection of the object.
- the recipient of the object for example, can remove the cushioning material at any time without the need for an aid. Overall, this significantly increases the efficiency when packing an object.
- the releasable adhesive system is designed so that it can be used at least one more time for a new connection after releasing, in particular that the releasable adhesive system has an adhesive layer with an adhesive note adhesive effect, for example à la Post-it®.
- the cushioning material can be easily removed on the way of the object from the sender to the recipient, for example for testing purposes, without the cushioning material being damaged. After the padding material has been removed, the same padding material can be reattached to the item. This also simplifies handling and lowers costs.
- the storage and provision of the cushioning material is simplified, since the cushioning material can be rolled up on a roll, for example, with a zigzag fold or simply as a stack of individual flat elements in a container in a storage state, without the adhesive system having a separate Cover needed. This, too, facilitates handling, accelerates application and lowers manufacturing and processing costs.
- the adhesive system comprises a continuous adhesive strip extending along the edge section. This creates maximum flexibility in handling the cushioning material, since a relatively large adhesive surface is provided. It goes without saying that the adhesive strip, viewed over its length, can have a constant width, but also a, preferably periodically, variable width. In this way, a desired adhesive force can be set.
- the adhesive system comprises an adhesive strip extending and interrupted along the edge section and / or individual adhesive points. This makes it possible to reduce the adhesive force compared to a continuous adhesive strip and to lower the costs for the adhesive system.
- a desired adhesive force can be set in a simple manner in that the density of the interrupted adhesive strips or the individual adhesive points is selected accordingly.
- the flat element is rectangular in plan view and if the edge section to which the adhesive system is applied is at least one longitudinal edge and / or at least one transverse edge.
- a rectangular planar element can be used for many purposes, and the adhesive system can be applied to a generally straight edge region of such rectangular planar element can be applied very easily.
- the cushioning section is made from a paper or cardboard material in which a plurality of bulges is formed.
- a material is comparatively pleasant and "soft" to handle and an advantageous ecological alternative, for example, to a plastic bubble wrap.
- the bulges provide a comparatively large three-dimensional volume, which means that the item to be packaged is particularly well protected from impacts and damage. At the same time, the bulges ensure a relatively low density, which saves weight.
- the flat element is detachably connected to a further flat element at least in one storage state by means of a tear-off area, in particular a perforation or some other material weakening.
- a tear-off area in particular a perforation or some other material weakening.
- a cushioning material can be produced which only consists of a single flat element, or a cushioning material can be produced which consists of several flat elements which remain connected to one another via the tear-off area.
- a cushioning material for packaging purposes bears the overall reference number 10. It is designed as an elongated strand of paper (for example wrapping paper) with an exemplary density in the range of 40-60 g / m 2 and comprises a plurality of flat elements 12, which are shown in FIG shown plan view have a rectangular shape. In principle, however, almost any other shape is also conceivable.
- the flat elements 12 are detachably connected to one another by means of a tear-off area 14, in the present case a linear perforation.
- the tear-off area could also have some other material weakening, for example a smaller thickness, or it could be made of a material with a lower tear resistance than the rest of the flat element 12.
- Each of the flat elements 12 has a central and overall also approximately rectangular cushion section 16, which is formed by a plurality of bulges 18 which are perpendicular to the plane of the drawing of Figure 1 extend is formed. Again, for the sake of clarity, only a single bulge 18 in each case is shown Figure 1 provided with a reference number.
- the bulges 18 are hemispherical. For example, you can have a radius in the range of 0.5-1.5 cm, preferably 1 cm.
- a bulge 18 on one side of the flat element 12 is adjacent to a bulge 18 on the other side of the flat element 12. The direction of the bulges 18 thus alternates, so that the cushioning material 10 overall has a thickness which corresponds approximately to twice the radius of the bulges.
- the bulges 18 are hemispherical in section. It goes without saying, however, that other cross-sections of bulges are also possible, for example rectangular, square, elliptical, spherical, triangular, etc.
- the bulges 18 can also be in the form shown in FIG Figure 1
- the top view shown have a different shape than the circular shape shown here.
- a triangular, quadrangular, polygonal, elliptical, prismatic basic shape is basically possible. In this way, very different, for example cubic, pyramidal, pointed conical and truncated conical bulges can be produced.
- an elastic compression allows, thereby protecting a Item to be packaged is provided desired property.
- a packaged object is protected from damage and impacts by this cushioning material.
- such a property could also be provided in other ways, for example by means of hermetically sealed air chambers such as are known from air cushion films or air-filled bags, by means of a foam material, crumpling paper, etc.
- Each of the flat elements 12 also has a total of four straight edge sections 20a to 20d which surround the cushion section 16 of a flat element 12 and in which, for example, no bulges 18 are present. These 4 edge sections 20a to 20d are shown in FIG Figure 1 again only shown for one flat element 12 for reasons of clarity.
- the illustrated first embodiment of a cushioning material 10 is only on a single edge portion of a flat element 12, namely that in Figure 1 upper edge portion 20a, an adhesive system 22 applied. Since the two edge sections 20a and 20c form the shorter pair of edge sections of the rectangular planar element 12, these are transverse edge sections.
- This adhesive system 22 comprises a continuous adhesive strip 24 extending along the edge section 20a.
- the adhesive system 22 is designed in such a way that it can be connected to another section, for example the opposite edge portion 20c of the same flat element 12, can be connected, but can be detached from this without the use of an aid and non-destructively. Furthermore, the adhesive system 22 is designed in such a way that it can be used at least one more time for a new connection after it has been released.
- Such an adhesive principle is known from those adhesive layers which have a so-called “sticky note adhesive effect", for example from note papers which are known on the market under the brand name "Post-it®".
- the adhesive used for this is a hardened plastic that consists of tiny spheres with fine hairs. These hairs act like tentacles that hold the note (or in the present case the edge section 20a) on the desired background (or in the present case, for example, on the edge section 20c).
- the note (or the edge section 20a) can easily be removed again, since the contact area between the note and the substrate is reduced by the small spheres. If the said hairs do not tear off or are soiled with dust, such a note (or in this case the edge section 20a) can be stuck many times to a substrate, detached from it, stuck onto a substrate again and detached again, etc.
- the cushioning material 10 can, for example, in the longitudinal direction of the in Figure 1
- the strand shown has a tear-off area 14 approximately every 20 cm exhibit.
- the length of a longitudinal edge section 20b and 20d can be, for example, approximately 40 cm, the length of a transverse edge section 20a and 20c approximately 20 cm.
- the second embodiment of a cushioning material 10 shown is not only present on a transverse edge section 20a, but also has a continuous adhesive strip 24 extending along the respective edge section 20a and 20c on both opposite transverse edge sections 20a and 20c.
- the fourth embodiment of a cushioning material 10 shown is instead of the one shown in FIG Figure 4 Continuous adhesive strip 24 shown, an interrupted adhesive strip 24 is present, which in this respect consists of four elongated and straight segments 24a, 24b and 24c.
- FIG. 6 The fifth embodiment of a cushioning material 10 shown in FIG Figure 5 elongated segments shown a plurality of point-shaped adhesive points 24a to 24e are present.
- FIG. 7 it is shown how an object 26 can be wrapped with the padding material 10, which is only shown schematically and in this respect without the bulges 18.
- a single flat element 12 is used for this purpose, one transverse edge section 20a of which, for example, has an adhesive system 22 with a continuous adhesive strip 24 corresponding to the first embodiment in FIG Figure 1 having. It can be seen that the transverse edge section 20a is connected to the other transverse edge section 20c by means of the adhesive strip 24.
- the adhesive strip 24 of the transverse edge section 20a could also be releasably connected to the cushion section 16 extending between the two transverse edge sections 20a and 20c, even if the contact surface would be smaller due to the bulges 18.
- the procedure is as follows if the object 26 is to be provided with the cushioning material 10: First, the object 26 is wrapped with the flat element 12. Then the edge section 20a of the planar element 12 is connected to the other edge section 20c of the planar element 12 by means of the releasable adhesive system 22.
- FIG. 8 is shown how an object 26 with a cushioning material 10 corresponding to the cushioning material 10 of FIG Figure 4 can be wrapped with two flat elements 12.
- the two flat elements 12 are still connected to one another in the area of the tear-off area 14.
- the longitudinal edge 20d of one flat element 12 is folded over in the area of the tear-off area 14 and thus placed between the object 26 and the adhesive strip 24 of the other flat element 12.
- the cushioning material 10 in a storage state can comprise a plurality of flat elements 12 releasably connected to one another in a zigzag fold, which is preferably present in the area of the tear-off area 14, which are stored in a container 28 in the form of a stack 29 .
- the container 28 is opened at the top, and the necessary amount of contiguous flat elements 12 is removed by tearing it off along the tear-off area 14.
- the supply of cushioning material 10 can be increased in that the lower end of a stack 29 of flat elements 12 of a container 28 with the upper end of the stack 29 of flat elements 12 of an adjacent container 28 is connected, as shown in FIG Figure 10 is shown.
- FIG 11 a first usage scenario of the cushioning material 10 described above in its various variants is shown.
- a container 28 with cushioning material 10 is on a table 31, as is a container 30 with an object 26 to be packaged.
- a user 32 can remove the desired amount of flat elements 12 of the cushioning material 10 from the container 28, along the tear-off area 14 from which further Separate the remainder of the cushioning material 10 remaining in the container 28, and use it to wrap the object 26, as is, for example, in the Figures 7 and 8 was shown.
- an automated device 34 for example a conveyor device driven by an electric motor, can also be used to provide the cushioning material 10 to the user 32.
- a second usage scenario is in Figure 12 shown.
- the automated device 34 is also on the table 29.
- the automated device 34 has a user interface (not shown) through which the user can operate the automated device 34.
- This user interface can, for example, comprise a foot switch which, when actuated, provides a pre-set amount of flat elements 12, in that it is conveyed by an electric motor and automatically separated from the remaining flat elements 12 along a tear-off area 14 after the end of the conveyance.
- a foot switch which, when actuated, provides a pre-set amount of flat elements 12, in that it is conveyed by an electric motor and automatically separated from the remaining flat elements 12 along a tear-off area 14 after the end of the conveyance.
- two driven roller pairs arranged one after the other in the conveying direction can be provided in the automated device 34, between which the cushioning material 10 is conveyed, the roller pair located away from the user 32 being briefly stopped to tear off, whereas the roller pair closest to the user 32 continues to be driven will.
- a foot switch voice control (microphone), gesture control (image recognition by means of a camera), a touchpad, a classic keyboard, etc. are conceivable as a user interface.
- voice control microphone
- gesture control image recognition by means of a camera
- touchpad touchpad
- classic keyboard etc.
- a sensor at the output of the automated device 34 to detect when the user 32 removes or has removed an amount of cushioning material 10, and then automatically providing a new preset amount of cushioning material 10.
- FIG. 4 shows a third usage scenario, which corresponds to the second usage scenario from FIG Figure 12 is very similar. It only differs in that the cushioning material 10 is not stored on the table 29, so that the table 29 can be smaller overall. Instead of this In the present case, for example, there are three containers 28 on a pallet 36 on the floor behind the table. The cushioning material in the three containers 28 is connected to one another, as described above in connection with FIG Figure 10 had been explained. It goes without saying that the number of three containers 28 both in Figure 10 as well as in Figure 13 is only exemplary. Of course, a smaller or larger number of containers 28 containing cushioning material 10 is also conceivable, the cushioning material 10 of one container 28 being connected to the cushioning material 10 of the adjacent container 28, so that a very large supply of cushioning material 10 is formed.
- a flat starting material that does not yet have the bulges is stored in the containers 28, and that the bulges in the flat starting material are only stored when passing through the automated device 34, for example by embossing, heating and / or moistening / drying , etc. can be generated.
- the tear-off areas 14 can already be present in the starting material, but can likewise also only be generated when passing through the automated device 34.
- a cushioning material 10 which does not have any tear-off areas 14 at all and in which the individual flat elements 12 are separated as required, for example by a cutting device.
- the starting material can also be wound on a roll.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Polstermaterial für Verpackungszwecke, sowie ein Verfahren zum Polstern eines Gegenstands nach den Oberbegriffen der jeweiligen nebengeordneten Patentansprüche.The invention relates to a cushioning material for packaging purposes, as well as a method for cushioning an object according to the preambles of the respective independent claims.
Vom Markt her ist es bekannt (siehe
Ein Problem bei dem bekannten Material ist es jedoch, dass die Handhabung zeitraubend ist. Ist der Gegenstand mit dem Polstermaterial umwickelt, müssen Maßnahmen ergriffen werden, durch die verhindert wird, dass sich die um Wicklung löst. Beispielsweise werden hierfür Klebestreifen verwendet oder Schnüre oder ähnliches. Alternativ oder zusätzlich muss der Gegenstand vielfach umwickelt werden, um ein Lösen der Wicklung zu verhindern. Dies ist komplex und fordert die Handhabung zusätzlicher Elemente.However, a problem with the known material is that it is time consuming to handle. If the object is wrapped with the cushioning material, measures must be taken to prevent the wrapping from loosening. For example, adhesive strips or cords or the like are used for this. As an alternative or in addition, the object must be wrapped several times in order to prevent the winding from loosening. This is complex and requires additional elements to be handled.
Die vorliegende Erfindung hat die Aufgabe, ein Polstermaterial und ein Verfahren bereitzustellen, welches besonders einfach zum Schützen eines zu verpackenden Gegenstands geeignet ist.The present invention has the object of providing a cushioning material and a method which is particularly easily suitable for protecting an object to be packaged.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Polstermaterial mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 und ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des nebengeordneten Patentanspruchs gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in Unteransprüchen genannt. Darüber hinaus finden sich weitere erfindungswesentliche Merkmale auch in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung und in der Zeichnung. Diese Merkmale können dabei erfindungswesentlich sein sowohl in Alleinstellung als auch in unterschiedlichen Kombinationen, ohne dass hierauf nochmals explizit hingewiesen werden wird.This object is achieved by a cushioning material with the features of claim 1 and a method with the features of the independent claim. Advantageous further developments of the invention are mentioned in the subclaims. In addition, further features essential to the invention can also be found in the following description and in the drawing. These features can be essential to the invention both on their own and in different combinations, without explicit reference to this being made again.
Das erfindungsgemäße Polstermaterial für Verpackungszwecke umfasst mindestens ein flächiges Element, welches mindestens einen Randabschnitt und einen Polsterabschnitt aufweist. Dabei ist es nicht zwingend erforderlich, dass der Polsterabschnitt eine von dem Randabschnitt unterschiedliche Ausgestaltung hat. Vielmehr kann sich der Polsterabschnitt selbstverständlich bis zum Rand des Randabschnitts erstrecken. Die beiden Abschnitte unterscheiden sich lediglich durch die primäre Funktion, indem der Polsterabschnitt primär gepolstert, wohingegen der Randabschnitt primär das flächige Element begrenzt. Ferner sei an dieser Stelle darauf hingewiesen, dass ein flächiges Element keineswegs flach und eben sein muss, sondern selbstverständlich eine oder mehrere Krümmungen sowie eine relevante Dicke aufweisen kann. "Flächig" bedeutet in diesem Zusammenhang lediglich, dass die Dicke kleiner ist als jede der beiden anderen kartesischen Dimensionen.The cushioning material according to the invention for packaging purposes comprises at least one flat element which has at least one edge section and one cushion section. It is not absolutely necessary here for the cushion section to have a different configuration from the edge section. Rather, the cushion section can of course extend to the edge of the edge section. The two sections differ only in their primary function, in that the cushion section is primarily upholstered, whereas the edge section primarily delimits the flat element. Furthermore, it should be pointed out at this point that a flat element does not have to be flat and planar, but of course can have one or more curvatures and a relevant thickness. "Flat" in this context only means that the thickness is smaller than each of the other two Cartesian dimensions.
Der Polsterabschnitt stellt eine zum Schützen eines zu verpackenden Gegenstands gewünschte Eigenschaft bereit. An mindestens einem Randabschnitt ist wenigstens bereichsweise ein Klebesystem aufgebracht, welches ausgebildet ist für eine ohne Hilfsmittel, also beispielsweise ohne spezielle Wärmeeinwirkung und ohne spezielle Werkzeuge, und zerstörungsfrei, also ohne Beschädigung des Polstermaterials oder des Gegenstands, wieder lösbare Verbindung mit einem anderen Abschnitt eines anderen flächigen Elements oder des selben flächigen Elements.The cushion portion provides a desired property for protecting an article to be packaged. On at least one edge section, an adhesive system is applied at least in some areas, which is designed for a connection to another section of another that can be detached again without aids, for example without special heat and without special tools, and non-destructively, i.e. without damaging the cushioning material or the object flat element or the same flat element.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren umfasst die folgenden Schritte: Umwickeln des Gegenstands mit einem flächigen Element oder mehreren zusammenhängenden flächigen Elementen;
Befestigen mindestens eines Randabschnitts des flächigen Elements oder der flächigen Elemente mittels des wiederlösbaren Klebesystems, insbesondere mit einem anderen Randabschnitt des flächigen Elements oder eines anderen flächigen Elements.The method according to the invention comprises the following steps: wrapping the object with a flat element or several contiguous flat elements;
Fastening at least one edge section of the planar element or the planar elements by means of the releasable adhesive system, in particular to another edge section of the planar element or another planar element.
Dank der Erfindung muss die Person, welche einen zu schützenden Gegenstand mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Polstermaterial verpackt, zur sicheren Festlegung des Polstermaterials keine zusätzlichen Elemente, wie beispielsweise Spender für Klebestreifen, Schnüre, etc. handhaben. Stattdessen verfügt das Polstermaterial selbst über ein Klebesystem, welches es ermöglicht, einen Randabschnitt des flächigen Elements des Polstermaterials zuverlässig mit einem anderen Abschnitt des gleichen flächigen Elements oder mit einem Abschnitt eines anderen flächigen Elements zu verbinden. Hierdurch kann auf ein vielfaches Umwickeln des zu schützenden Gegenstands verzichtet werden, wodurch Polstermaterial eingespart wird. Dies schont die Umwelt und senkt Kosten.Thanks to the invention, the person who packs an object to be protected with the cushioning material according to the invention does not have to handle any additional elements, such as dispensers for adhesive strips, cords, etc., in order to securely fix the cushioning material. Instead, the cushioning material itself has an adhesive system which makes it possible to reliably connect an edge section of the planar element of the cushioning material to another section of the same planar element or to a section of another planar element. As a result, multiple wrapping of the object to be protected can be dispensed with, which saves padding material. This protects the environment and lowers costs.
Dabei ist das Klebesystem so ausgebildet, dass der Randabschnitt jederzeit ohne Hilfsmittel und zerstörungsfrei von dem anderen Abschnitt gelöst werden kann. Auf diese Weise ist bereits während des Verpackungsvorgangs beispielsweise ein Repositionieren des Randabschnitts des flächigen Elements möglich, um den Schutz des Gegenstands zu optimieren. Darüber hinaus kann jederzeit beispielsweise der Empfänger des Gegenstands das Polstermaterial entfernen, ohne dass er hierfür eines Hilfsmittels bedarf. Insgesamt wird hierdurch die Effizienz beim Verpacken eines Gegenstands deutlich erhöht.The adhesive system is designed in such a way that the edge section can be detached from the other section at any time without tools and in a non-destructive manner. In this way, for example, a repositioning of the Edge portion of the flat element possible in order to optimize the protection of the object. In addition, the recipient of the object, for example, can remove the cushioning material at any time without the need for an aid. Overall, this significantly increases the efficiency when packing an object.
In einer ersten Weiterbildung wird vorgeschlagen, dass das wieder lösbare Klebesystem so ausgebildet ist, dass es nach dem Lösen noch mindestens ein weiteres Mal zu einer erneuten Verbindung verwendet werden kann, insbesondere dass das wieder lösbare Klebesystem eine Haftschicht mit einem Haftnotiz-Hafteffekt beispielsweise à la Post-it® aufweist. So kann das Polstermaterial auf dem Wege des Gegenstands vom Versender zum Empfänger beispielsweise für Prüfzwecke auf einfache Art und Weise entfernt werden, ohne dass das Polstermaterial Schaden nimmt. Nach der Entfernung des Polstermaterials kann das selbe Polstermaterial wieder an dem Gegenstand angebracht werden. Auch dies vereinfacht die Handhabung und senkt die Kosten. Darüber hinaus wird auch die Lagerung und die Bereitstellung des Polstermaterials vereinfacht, da das Polstermaterial in einem Lagerzustand beispielsweise auf einer Rolle aufgerollt, mit einer Zickzack-Faltung oder einfach als Stapel einzelner flächiger Elemente in einem Behälter abgelegt sein kann, ohne dass das Klebesystem eine separate Abdeckung benötigt. Auch dies erleichtert die Handhabung, beschleunigt die Anwendung und senkt die Herstell- und Verarbeitungskosten.In a first development, it is proposed that the releasable adhesive system is designed so that it can be used at least one more time for a new connection after releasing, in particular that the releasable adhesive system has an adhesive layer with an adhesive note adhesive effect, for example à la Post-it®. Thus, the cushioning material can be easily removed on the way of the object from the sender to the recipient, for example for testing purposes, without the cushioning material being damaged. After the padding material has been removed, the same padding material can be reattached to the item. This also simplifies handling and lowers costs. In addition, the storage and provision of the cushioning material is simplified, since the cushioning material can be rolled up on a roll, for example, with a zigzag fold or simply as a stack of individual flat elements in a container in a storage state, without the adhesive system having a separate Cover needed. This, too, facilitates handling, accelerates application and lowers manufacturing and processing costs.
Möglich ist auch, dass das Klebesystem einen längs des Randabschnitts sich erstreckenden und durchgehenden Klebestreifen umfasst. Hierdurch wird eine maximale Flexibilität bei der Handhabung des Polstermaterials geschaffen, da eine relativ hohe Klebefläche bereitgestellt wird. Dabei versteht es sich, dass der Klebestreifen über seine Länge gesehen eine konstante Breite haben kann, aber auch eine, vorzugsweise periodisch, veränderliche Breite. Hierdurch kann eine gewünschte Klebekraft eingestellt werden.It is also possible that the adhesive system comprises a continuous adhesive strip extending along the edge section. This creates maximum flexibility in handling the cushioning material, since a relatively large adhesive surface is provided. It goes without saying that the adhesive strip, viewed over its length, can have a constant width, but also a, preferably periodically, variable width. In this way, a desired adhesive force can be set.
Alternativ oder zusätzlich ist es möglich, dass das Klebesystem einen längs des Randabschnitts sich erstreckenden und unterbrochenen Klebestreifen und/oder einzelne Klebepunkte umfasst. Dies gestattet es, die Klebekraft gegenüber einem durchgehenden Klebestreifen zu reduzieren und die Kosten für das Klebesystem zu senken. Außerdem kann hierdurch auf einfache Art und Weise eine gewünschte Klebekraft eingestellt werden, indem die Dichte der unterbrochenen Klebestreifen bzw. der einzelnen Klebepunkte entsprechend gewählt wird.As an alternative or in addition, it is possible that the adhesive system comprises an adhesive strip extending and interrupted along the edge section and / or individual adhesive points. This makes it possible to reduce the adhesive force compared to a continuous adhesive strip and to lower the costs for the adhesive system. In addition, a desired adhesive force can be set in a simple manner in that the density of the interrupted adhesive strips or the individual adhesive points is selected accordingly.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das flächige Element in der Draufsicht rechteckig ist, und wenn der Randabschnitt, an dem das Klebesystem aufgebracht ist, mindestens ein Längsrand und/oder mindestens ein Querrand ist. Ein rechteckiges flächiges Element ist für viele Einsatzzwecke verwendbar, und das Klebesystem kann an einem im allgemeinen gerade verlaufenden Randbereich eines solchen rechteckigen flächigen Elements sehr einfach aufgebracht werden.It is particularly advantageous if the flat element is rectangular in plan view and if the edge section to which the adhesive system is applied is at least one longitudinal edge and / or at least one transverse edge. A rectangular planar element can be used for many purposes, and the adhesive system can be applied to a generally straight edge region of such rectangular planar element can be applied very easily.
Eine weitere besonders bevorzugte Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Polstermaterial zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass der Polsterabschnitt aus einem Papier- oder Kartonmaterial hergestellt ist, in dem eine Mehrzahl von Auswölbungen ausgebildet ist. Ein solches Material ist in der Handhabung vergleichsweise angenehm und "weich" und eine vorteilhafte ökologische Alternative beispielsweise zu einer Kunststoff-Luftpolsterfolie. Dabei sorgen die Auswölbungen für ein vergleichsweise großes dreidimensionales Volumen, wodurch der zu verpackende Gegenstand besonders gut vor Stößen und Beschädigungen geschützt wird. Gleichzeitig sorgen die Auswölbungen für eine relativ geringe Dichte, wodurch Gewicht gespart wird.Another particularly preferred embodiment of the cushioning material according to the invention is characterized in that the cushioning section is made from a paper or cardboard material in which a plurality of bulges is formed. Such a material is comparatively pleasant and "soft" to handle and an advantageous ecological alternative, for example, to a plastic bubble wrap. The bulges provide a comparatively large three-dimensional volume, which means that the item to be packaged is particularly well protected from impacts and damage. At the same time, the bulges ensure a relatively low density, which saves weight.
In Weiterbildung hierzu wird vorgeschlagen, dass einer Auswölbung zur einen Seite des flächigen Elements hin eine Auswölbung zur anderen Seite des flächigen Elements hin benachbart ist. Hierdurch wird das dreidimensionale Volumen nochmals erhöht und wird auf diese Weise das Polsterungsvermögen verbessert, ohne dass hierdurch zusätzliches Gewicht erzeugt wird.In a further development, it is proposed that a bulge on one side of the flat element is adjacent to a bulge on the other side of the flat element. As a result, the three-dimensional volume is increased again and in this way the cushioning capacity is improved without additional weight being generated as a result.
Weiterhin vorteilhaft ist es auch, wenn das flächige Element mindestens in einem Lagerzustand mittels eines Abreißbereichs, insbesondere einer Perforation oder einer sonstigen Materialschwächung, mit einem weiteren flächigen Element lösbar verbunden ist. Hierdurch wird die Handhabung erheblich erleichtert, und es können durch den Benutzer auf einfache Art und Weise Polstermaterialien ganz unterschiedlicher Größe für ganz unterschiedliche Verpackungsszenarien erzeugt werden. Beispielsweise kann ein Polstermaterial erzeugt werden, welches nur aus einem einzigen flächigen Element besteht, oder es kann ein Polstermaterial erzeugt werden, welches aus mehreren flächigen Elementen besteht, die weiterhin über den Abreißbereich miteinander verbunden bleiben.It is also advantageous if the flat element is detachably connected to a further flat element at least in one storage state by means of a tear-off area, in particular a perforation or some other material weakening. This makes the handling easier made considerably easier, and padding materials of very different sizes for very different packaging scenarios can be produced by the user in a simple manner. For example, a cushioning material can be produced which only consists of a single flat element, or a cushioning material can be produced which consists of several flat elements which remain connected to one another via the tear-off area.

Nachfolgend werden in unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen für Bereiche und Elemente, welche äquivalente Funktionen aufweisen, die gleichen Bezugszeichen verwendet. Es wird darüber hinaus bei nachfolgenden Ausführungsformen meist nur auf Unterschiede zu vorhergehenden Ausführungsformen eingegangen.In the following, the same reference symbols are used in different embodiments for areas and elements which have equivalent functions. In addition, in the following embodiments, only differences from previous embodiments are discussed.

Jedes der flächigen Elemente 12 weist einen zentralen und insgesamt ebenfalls in etwa rechteckigen Polsterabschnitt 16 auf, der durch eine Vielzahl von Auswölbungen 18, die sich senkrecht zur Zeichnungsebene von
Bei der vorliegenden Ausführungsform sind die Auswölbungen 18 zwar im Schnitt halbkugelförmig. Es versteht sich jedoch, dass auch andere Querschnitte von Auswölbungen möglich sind, beispielsweise rechteckige, quadratische, elliptische, sphärische, dreieckige, etc.. Darüber hinaus können die Auswölbungen 18 auch in der in
Jedes der flächigen Elemente 12 weist ferner insgesamt vier geradlinig verlaufende Randabschnitte 20a bis 20d auf, welche den Polsterabschnitt 16 eines flächigen Elements 12 umgeben und in denen vorliegend beispielhaft keine Auswölbungen 18 vorhanden sind. Diese 4 Randabschnitte 20a bis 20d sind in
Das Klebesystem 22 ist dabei so ausgebildet, dass es mit einem anderen Abschnitt, beispielsweise dem gegenüberliegenden Randabschnitt 20c des selben flächigen Elements 12, verbunden werden kann, jedoch von diesem ohne Verwendung eines Hilfsmittels und zerstörungsfrei wieder gelöst werden kann. Ferner ist das Klebesystem 22 so ausgebildet, dass es nach dem Lösen noch mindestens ein weiteres Mal zu einer erneuten Verbindung verwendet werden kann.The
Bekannt ist ein solches Klebeprinzip von solchen Haftschichten, die einen sogenannten "Haftnotiz-Hafteffekt" aufweisen, beispielsweise von Notizzetteln, die auf dem Markt unter dem Markennamen "Post-it®" bekannt sind. Das hierfür verwendete Klebemittel ist ein ausgehärteter Kunststoff, der aus winzig kleinen Kügelchen mit feinen Härchen besteht. Diese Härchen wirken wie Tentakel, die den Notizzettel (bzw. vorliegend den Randabschnitt 20a) an dem gewünschten Untergrund (bzw. vorliegend beispielhaft am Randabschnitt 20c) festhalten. Der Notizzettel (bzw. der Randabschnitt 20a) kann leicht wieder entfernt werden, da durch die kleinen Kügelchen die Kontaktfläche zwischen dem Notizzettel und dem Untergrund verkleinert wird. Reißen die besagten Härchen nicht ab oder werden mit Staub verschmutzt, kann ein solcher Notizzettel (bzw. vorliegend der Randabschnitt 20a) viele Male auf einen Untergrund geklebt, von diesem gelöst, wieder auf einen Untergrund geklebt und wieder gelöst werden, usw..Such an adhesive principle is known from those adhesive layers which have a so-called "sticky note adhesive effect", for example from note papers which are known on the market under the brand name "Post-it®". The adhesive used for this is a hardened plastic that consists of tiny spheres with fine hairs. These hairs act like tentacles that hold the note (or in the present case the

Insgesamt geht man wie folgt vor, wenn der Gegenstand 26 mit dem Polstermaterial 10 versehen werden soll: zunächst wird der Gegenstand 26 mit dem flächigen Element 12 umwickelt. Dann wird der Randabschnitt 20a des flächigen Elements 12 mittels des wiederlösbaren Klebesystems 22 mit dem anderen Randabschnitt 20c des flächigen Elements 12 verbunden.Overall, the procedure is as follows if the

Insbesondere dann, wenn das Polstermaterial 10 durch eine automatisierte Einrichtung bereitgestellt wird, wie hiernach noch dargelegt werden wird, kann der Vorrat an Polstermaterial 10 dadurch vergrößert werden, dass das untere Ende des einen Stapels 29 von flächigen Elementen 12 eines Behälters 28 mit dem oberen Ende des Stapels 29 von flächigen Elementen 12 eines benachbarten Behälters 28 verbunden wird, wie es in

Zur Erleichterung der Benutzung kann zusätzlich eine automatisierte Einrichtung 34, beispielsweise eine elektromotorisch angetriebene Fördereinrichtung, dazu verwendet werden, das Polstermaterial 10 dem Benutzer 32 bereitzustellen. Ein solches zweites Benutzungsszenario ist in
Diese Benutzerschnittstelle kann beispielsweise einen Fußschalter umfassen, der bei einer Betätigung eine vorab eingestellte Menge an flächigen Elementen 12 bereitstellt, indem diese elektromotorisch gefördert und nach dem Ende der Förderung automatisch längs eines Abreißbereichs 14 von den restlichen flächigen Elementen 12 abgetrennt wird. Hierzu können in der automatisierten Einrichtung 34 beispielsweise zwei in Förderrichtung nacheinander angeordnete angetriebene Walzenpaare vorgesehen sein, zwischen denen das Polstermaterial 10 gefördert wird, wobei zum Abreißen das vom Benutzer 32 entfernt angeordnete Walzenpaar kurz angehalten wird, wohingegen das zum Benutzer 32 nächst gelegene Walzenpaar weiter angetrieben wird. Möglich ist aber auch die Verwendung einer Schneideinrichtung, um die gewünschte Menge an flächigen Elementen 12 von den flächigen Elementen 12 des Stapels 29 zu trennen.This user interface can, for example, comprise a foot switch which, when actuated, provides a pre-set amount of
Anstelle eines Fußschalters ist eine Sprachsteuerung (Mikrofon), eine Gestensteuerung (Bilderkennung mittels Kamera), ein Touchpad, eine klassische Tastatur, etc. als Benutzerschnittstelle denkbar. Grundsätzlich denkbar ist ferner, über einen Sensor am Ausgang der automatisierten Einrichtung 34 zu erkennen, wenn der Benutzer 32 eine Menge an Polstermaterial 10 entnimmt oder entnommen hat, und dann automatisch eine voreingestellte Menge an Polstermaterial 10 neu bereitzustellen.Instead of a foot switch, voice control (microphone), gesture control (image recognition by means of a camera), a touchpad, a classic keyboard, etc. are conceivable as a user interface. In principle, it is also conceivable to use a sensor at the output of the
Schließlich ist es grundsätzlich auch denkbar, dass in den Behältern 28 ein flaches und noch nicht die Auswölbungen aufweisendes Ausgangsmaterial gelagert wird, und dass die Auswölbungen in das flache Ausgangsmaterial erst beim Durchlaufen der automatisierten Einrichtung 34 beispielsweise durch Prägen, Erhitzen und/oder Befeuchten/Trocknen, etc. erzeugt werden. Die Abreißbereiche 14 können bereits bei dem Ausgangsmaterial vorhanden sein, können aber ebenfalls auch erst beim Durchlaufen der automatisierten Einrichtung 34 erzeugt werden. Möglich ist auch, ein Polstermaterial 10 zu verwenden, welches überhaupt keine Abreißbereiche 14 aufweist, und bei dem die einzelnen flächigen Elemente 12 nach Bedarf beispielsweise durch eine Schneideeinrichtung abgetrennt werden. Insbesondere dann, wenn ein flaches und noch nicht die Auswölbungen aufweisendes Ausgangsmaterial verwendet wird, kann das Ausgangsmaterial auch auf einer Rolle aufgewickelt sein.Finally, it is basically also conceivable that a flat starting material that does not yet have the bulges is stored in the
