Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging unit made of moulded pulp for products like eggs and similar products like kiwis and tomatoes, for example.
  • Such packaging unit may also relate to cases, boxes, cups, plates, carriers, sip lids etc.
  • Egg cases, containers or cartons are known in practice and are generally fabricated from carton made from moulded pulp originating from paper material.
  • Such packaging units comprise a bottom part that is provided with compartments for individual products, and a cover part that is often hingedly connected to the bottom part. Eggs, or other products, are transported and displayed in these packaging units.
  • US 2,423,756 A discloses a molded fibre article.
  • WO 2015/160248 A1 discloses a packaging unit comprising such bottom and cover part, and is provided with a hinge connecting both parts and a lock that is configured for locking the cover part and the bottom part in a closed position of the packaging unit.
  • packaging units During transport, storage and display the packaging units are confronted with loads that may damage the packaging units and/or the products inside these packaging units. To withstand these loads, conventional packaging units have to be provided with sufficient strength, thereby requiring a certain amount of packaging material. This results in high packaging costs.
  • the present invention has for its object to obviate or at least reduce the above stated problems in conventional packaging units such as egg cases or egg cartons, and to provide a packaging unit with improved strength and stability.
  • the present invention provides for this purpose a packaging unit according to claim 1.
  • Having a packaging unit with a bottom part and a cover part made of moulded pulp enables transport and display of products without damaging the products. This is especially relevant in case of vulnerable products like eggs. This is also relevant in the transport of empty packaging units that often takes place in stacks of packaging units in an open position.
  • the cover part is hingedly connected to the bottom part on the rear side thereof.
  • a lock is provided comprising a first locking element on the bottom part, such as a cam or edge, and a second locking element in the cover part, such as an opening, that is configured for receiving the first locking element.
  • the cone shaped element (partly) separates adjacent compartments and preferably supports the product(s).
  • the cone shaped element may comprise a cone and/or equivalent separator between adjacent compartments.
  • At least the adjacent compartments at the sides of the packaging unit are provided with a groove.
  • the grooves are configured to support the ribs of another packaging unit in a stack of packaging units. Especially in a stack of packaging units in an open position this improves the stability of the stack. More preferably, the shape of the grooves substantially corresponds to the shape of the (part of) the rib that is received and supported in the groove.
  • the bottom part further comprises a number of ribs extending between at least some of the compartments, and wherein the ribs are provided with a V-shaped cross-section.
  • Providing ribs between adjacent compartments with a V-shaped cross-section increases the strength of the packaging unit.
  • This is also an advantage for a stack of packaging units.
  • a stack may comprise more packaging units without damaging the (lower) packaging units in the stack. This reduces storage, transport and/or handling costs of the packaging units.
  • the V-shape provides a self-seeking or self-aligning effect when stacking packaging units according to the invention. This renders handling, specifically stacking, of the packaging units easier. As a further effect denesting of the packaging units is easier. This further improves handling op the packaging units, specifically the stacking and unstacking thereof.
  • the ribs have a height in the range of 5-12 mm, more preferably in the range of 6-10 mm, and most preferably in the range of 7-8 mm.
  • the ribs are provided with a V-shape in length direction of the ribs.
  • V-shaped ribs with a V-shaped in length direction of the ribs further increases the strength of the packaging unit.
  • the V-shaped rib as seen in length direction of the ribs are preferably applied in combination with the V-shaped cross-section of the ribs. Experiments showed relevant increase in strength and easier stacking involving nesting and denesting of the packaging units. It will be understood that the V-shaped ribs can also be applied independently from the other features in packaging units.
  • the ribs connect to the compartments at a height of more than 4 mm above the ground surface as defined by the bottom side of the bottom part.
  • connection height is above 4 mm, more preferably above 4.5 mm, and most preferably about 5 mm. Also preferably, the connection height is below 20 mm, more preferably below 15 mm, and most preferably below 10 mm.
  • a further effect of the application of the aforementioned height is the improved gripping of the packaging unit with grippers in the packing operation. This improves handling of the packaging unit when packing with products.
  • the torsion resistance is significantly improved. This provides additional stability to the packaging unit.
  • This width is preferably applied in combination with the V-shape of the ribs in width and/or length direction of the rib(s), and/or with the aforementioned elevated connection of the rib(s).
  • the compartments comprise a bottom with an elevated portion, wherein the bottom of the elevated portion is provided with a convex shape.
  • Providing elevated portions provides the compartments with an additional "bumper" effect that improves the protection of the products.
  • Providing the bottom of the elevated portion with a convex shape prevents undesired moving of the packaging units when being transported over a conveyor belt, or other transporting means. This provides a more stable position of the packaging units during transport that is typically an advantage when putting the products in the packaging unit.
  • the convex bottom shape of the elevated portions resembles a spherical or dome shape.
  • the convex shaped bottom of elevated portions in the compartment is applied in combination with the V-shaped ribs are applied and/or the cones having one or more openings that are also presented in this description.
  • This combination of openings and cones having one or more openings improves the strength of the packaging unit, while reducing material and drying costs. It will be understood that the convex shaped bottom of elevated portions can also be applied independently from the other features in packaging units.
  • the bottom part comprises a number of denest-elements having a height in the range of 2-7 mm, preferably 3-6 mm.
  • the denest-elements improves denesting the packaging units from a stack.
  • the denest-elements have a height in the aforementioned range. This reduced height reduces the so-called stacking pitch of the packaging units. This has as an advantageous effect a shorter bundle length thereby preventing, or at least reducing, the overhang so that the packaging units better fit on a pallet, for example.
  • At least some of the cones are provided with openings that are configured to enable a gas stream to pass through the opening.
  • Providing an opening in the cone enables a gas flow, preferably an air flow, through the cone. In the manufacturing process this significantly contributes to the drying process of the packaging unit. Therefore, the drying of the packaging unit is significantly improved. In addition, the drying operation of the packaging unit is more controlled and/or gradually. The improved drying increases the strength of the packaging unit without increasing the required amount of material and/or reduces the amount of material, while maintaining the strength of the packaging unit.
  • a further effect of providing the cones of the packaging units with one or more openings is the reduced overall weight of the packaging unit. This reduces the material costs, and may reduce drying costs and/or may improve handling of the packaging unit. For example, for a standard egg package the weight reduction may amount to about 1 gram.
  • the openings have an effective diameter in the range of 0.5-15 mm, preferably in the range of 1.0-10 mm, more preferably in the range of 2.0-8 mm, and most preferably in the range of 3-6 mm.
  • the openings are preferably shaped as a circle having a diameter. This diameter corresponds to the effective diameter. It will be understood that other shapes for an opening are also possible. For example, the opening may be an ellipse. In such case the effective diameter corresponds to the diameter of a circular opening having an equal opening surface.
  • At least some of the openings are provided at or close to the top of the cone.
  • V-shaped ribs are applied in combination with the cones having one or more openings.
  • This combination of openings and cones having one or more openings improves the strength of the packaging unit, while reducing material and drying costs.
  • the moulded pulp material comprises an amount of natural fibers. Additionally, or alternatively, the moulded pulp material comprises an amount of a biodegradable material.
  • Ribs 34 ( Figures 1-3 ) are provided between adjacent compartments 26. Ribs 34 have a V-shaped cross-section and a V-shape when seen in length direction of rib 34 between two adjacent compartments 26. Ribs 34 connect to compartments 26 at a height H above the ground surface as defined by bottom side 12 of bottom part 4. In the illustrated embodiment height H is about 5 mm. Providing height H enables grippers to grip packaging unit 2. This improves handling of packaging unit 2. In the illustrated embodiment ribs 34 have a height of about 7.5 mm. Tests showed an effective increase of the overall strength of packaging unit 2.
  • Lock 42 comprises opening 44 in cover part 14 and nose shaped cam 46 of bottom part 4.
  • Cam 46 is provided on flap 49 that is hingedly connected by connection 50 to bottom part 4 of packaging unit 2.
  • cam 46 defines a closed outer surface or outer contour defining a chamber. In the illustrated embodiment the substantially downward facing surface of cam 46 may contact opening 44 to achieve lock 42.
  • cam 46 partly extends through opening 44 that is provided in the front surface 18 of cover part 14. The upper edge of opening 44 is optionally provided at a small angle and is slightly pushed inwards. It will be understood that according to the invention other locks may also be applied.
  • Grooves 48 are provided in bottom part 4. Grooves 48 are configured to receive part of ribs 34. Grooves 48 are optionally provided between all adjacent compartments 26. In the illustrated embodiment grooves 48 are specifically (and only) provided between the two outer compartments 26' at the sides of bottom part 4.
