Description

The invention relates to a packaging system for goods to be transported, in particular in the form of sanitary products such as sinks and the like, the goods to be transported being at least partially provided with an outer packaging.

The invention further relates to a transport system for transporting goods to be transported.

The invention further relates to a method for packaging goods to be transported, in particular in the form of sanitary products such as sinks and the like.

Although the present invention is generally applicable to any cargo, the present invention will be described with respect to rinsing as a cargo.

Transport goods of any kind are usually packed to avoid damage during transport. In the case of fragile transport goods, for example sinks that are made entirely or partly of ceramic, composite material or stone, the respective sink is not only packed in a transport box, but also provided with plastic foams, such as polystyrene elements, to reduce the risk of breakage during transport to further reduce transport.

From the EP 3 608 257 A1 a packaging system for goods to be transported, in particular in the form of sanitary products such as sinks and the like, has also become known, the goods to be transported being at least partially provided with a pre-outer packaging, comprising at least one floor damping device with a floor base essentially forming a plane and at least one in a first direction starting from the floor base, and at least one top damping device with a top base essentially forming a plane and at least one top damping element arranged protruding in a second direction starting from the top base, wherein the bottom damping device and the top damping device are designed to accommodate the goods to be transported between them such that the damping elements arranged above in the first and in the second direction point in the direction of the goods to be transported and the outer packaging is arranged at a distance from the respective base of the damping device by means of the damping element arranged above.

The disadvantage here is that only a small amount of transport protection can be provided for corner cases or edge cases.

One object of the present invention is therefore to minimize the installation space for a packaging system for goods to be transported, at the same time to provide sufficient damping in the case of corner falls, edge falls or surface falls through the packaging system and to enable the packaging system to be produced simply and inexpensively.

A further object of the present invention is to provide an alternative packaging system, an alternative transport system and an alternative method for packaging goods to be transported.

In one embodiment, the present invention solves the above-mentioned tasks with a packaging system for goods to be transported, in particular in the form of sanitary products such as sinks and the like, the goods to be transported being at least partially provided with a pre-outer packaging, comprising at least one floor damping device and at least one top damping device, wherein in in a packaged state, the goods to be transported with pre-packaging are arranged between the at least one floor damping device and the at least one top damping device, and wherein

• the ceiling damping device has a ceiling base that essentially forms a plane, the ceiling base having at least two ceiling damping elements which are arranged on different sides of the ceiling base, protruding from the ceiling base, and the ceiling base having at least one corner area, with at least two corner ceiling damping elements being arranged in the corner area, which are arranged on different sides of the ceiling base protruding from the ceiling base and wherein
• the floor damping device has a floor base that essentially forms a plane, the floor base having at least two floor damping elements which are arranged on different sides of the floor base, protruding from the floor base, and the floor base having at least one corner area, with at least two corner floor damping elements being arranged in the corner area, which are arranged on different sides of the floor base protruding from the floor base.

In a further embodiment, the present invention achieves the above-mentioned objects with a transport system for transporting goods to be transported, comprising a packaging system according to one of claims 1-13, goods to be transported and a transport box for receiving the goods to be transported provided with the packaging system.

• Anordnen des Transportguts zumindest teilweise in einer Vorumverpackung,
• Bereitstellen zumindest einer Bodendämpfungseinrichtung eines Verpackungssystems gemäß einem der Ansprüche 1-13 in einer Transportkiste,
• Anordnen des vorumverpackten Transportguts mit der Vorumverpackung auf der zumindest einen Bodendämpfungseinrichtung,
• Bereitstellen zumindest einer Deckendämpfungseinrichtung eines Verpackungssystems gemäß einem der Ansprüche 1-13 und insbesondere
• Verschließen der Transportkiste.

In a further embodiment, the present invention solves the above-mentioned tasks with a method for packaging goods to be transported, in particular in the form of sanitary products such as sinks and the like,
including the steps:

• arranging the transport goods at least partially in a pre-packaging,
• Providing at least one floor damping device of a packaging system according to one of Claims 1-13 in a transport box,
• arranging the pre-packaged item to be transported with the pre-packaging on the at least one floor damping device,
• Providing at least one ceiling cushioning device of a packaging system according to any one of claims 1-13 and in particular
• Closing the transport box.

One of the advantages achieved with this is that a high level of protection can be achieved for the transported goods in the case of corner and edge falls as well as surface falls. In addition, the packaging system is more cost-effective since, for example, a plurality of different models, in particular sink models, can be packaged using one packaging system without having to be specially adapted to the respective different models. Overall, this reduces transport costs.

The term "corner area" is to be understood, in particular in the description, preferably in the claims, in particular as the area of a damping element in which, in a plan view perpendicular to a plane of extension of the damping element, the damping element has a change in direction of its extension in the plane of extension, for example a kink or something like that. The corner area includes not only the position of the kink, but also the closer surrounding area. The surrounding area is also a flat area, in particular if the kink extends over a flat area.

Other features, advantages, and other embodiments of the invention are described below or will become apparent thereby.

According to an advantageous development of the invention, at least one of the corner damping elements of the floor damping device and/or ceiling damping device has at least one, in particular several, gradations. In this way, a graded application of force can be provided when the item to be transported falls onto a front side.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, at least one corner damping element has gradations on at least two sides. These enable a more stable corner damping element, which improves the overall protection of the transported goods by the packaging system. If the corner damping element is designed with a rectangular cross section, for example, a graded application of force can take place along two directions running perpendicular to one another. The term "gradation" is to be understood in particular as a stair-like progression of a side wall of a damping element.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, an in particular elongate opening is formed in at least one corner area. This prevents, in particular, that in the event of flat falls of the transported goods, the force introduced as a result is not diverted to the visible side of the transported goods. In this way, the probability of the transported goods breaking can be reduced. An elongate configuration is to be understood in particular as an essentially rectangular, optionally rounded configuration.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, the top damping device and/or the floor damping device is at least L-shaped with two legs, in particular U-shaped with three legs, in the plan view perpendicular to the respective plane. This enables reliable packaging with low material consumption at the same time. Here, in particular, longer legs and one or two shorter legs can be provided. The shorter legs can have different lengths, but in particular are of the same length in the extension plane.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, a double web is arranged between two ceiling damping elements and/or two floor damping elements, in particular with the web running parallel to the respective extension direction of the leg. In this way, the rigidity of the damping elements can be increased parallel to the extension direction of the leg and thus the rigidity of the respective leg as a whole. A tearing off of the respective damping element can thus be prevented.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, the web has a smaller vertical extent from the respective base than the damping elements that are closest to it. This provides sufficient stability, while at the same time the damping effect of the damping elements is essentially retained in the vertical direction.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, at least one of the ceiling and/or floor damping elements has an arcuate and/or trapezoidal shape in its area facing away from the base. The advantage of this is that the application of force to the curved surface of the respective ceiling damping element can be softer and more controlled.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, at least one of the ceiling and/or floor damping elements has a double-curved profile in its upper region, preferably with the at least one ceiling and/or floor damping element being arranged directly adjacent to one of the corner damping elements. A stiffer damping element can thus be provided.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, the base has an arcuate course in an edge region of the respective ceiling and/or floor base, which extends along the direction of the respective leg. such that it has an extension perpendicular to the respective base. The advantage of this is that no force is applied to the base if the transported goods fall.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, a majority of the ceiling and/or floor damping elements are connected to one another by means of at least one web, in particular the vertical extent of the web being smaller than the ceiling and/or floor damping elements connected to it. This further improves the stability of the respective damping elements.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, at least two webs are arranged, with one of the two webs having an arcuate course. One of the advantages this achieves is that greater stability is made possible.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, at least one, preferably all of the ceiling and/or floor damping elements are essentially configured in the manner of a truncated pyramid, in particular with unequal sides, preferably with the longer side of the ceiling and/or floor damping elements being aligned or oriented perpendicular to the respective direction of extension of the leg. In particular, the floor damping elements are designed to taper in the direction of the outer packaging, with the floor and/or ceiling damping elements being designed to lie at least partially laterally on the outer packaging. This enables reliable damping with low material consumption at the same time. In addition, the production or the provision of the damping elements is simplified, since demoulding from the corresponding tool can take place in a particularly simple manner.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, the inclination of at least one side surface with the same orientation of at least two different damping elements is different perpendicularly to the respective base. The advantage of this is that a graded harmonic introduction of force can be provided parallel to the plane of the base. In this way, the surface area provided by the damping elements becomes larger with increasing force application perpendicularly to the surface with further deformation.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, the floor damping device has a second base in the edge area of at least one of the legs, the position of which relative to the base is essentially determined by the vertical extension of the floor damping elements of the base and with a continuous transition from the base to the second base takes place, in particular with an S-shaped course. One of the advantages achieved in this way is that a high damping distance can be provided in particular in the area where the goods to be transported are placed in the area of the legs. In addition, the stability of the floor damping device is improved overall. In particular, an improved connection of the damping elements to the leg can be provided by the S-shape.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, the floor and/or ceiling damping elements are arranged on at least one of the legs symmetrically along the extension of the legs. Overall, the respective limbs are therefore of the same design with regard to the arrangement of the damping elements. With regard to the base, the respective damping elements can be arranged mirror-symmetrically to the middle of the extension of the base.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, recesses and/or gradations are arranged on the ceiling and/or floor damping elements for partially accommodating the outer packaging. This enables a sufficient, at least partially form-fitting fixing of the outer packaging to the respective damping elements.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, at least two of the floor and/or ceiling damping elements are designed in such a way that they have different hardnesses. This also provides a harmonious and graded introduction of force, so that the probability of damage to the transported goods is reduced.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, the packaging system comprises a fixing device which is designed to encompass a particularly rectangular packaging and to fix it to at least one of the floor cushioning elements, particularly by means of a form-fitting engagement. The advantage of this is that, for example, accessories for the goods to be transported can also be packed reliably. The fixing device can be designed, for example, as a rectangular corrugated cardboard blank, which has two fold edges and two tabs with recesses for engaging in two floor damping elements. A part of the corrugated board blank can be pushed under an inner flap, which serves as a dust protection flap, a folding box or the like for fixing.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, a web which has a V-shaped course is arranged between a floor damping element of a leg and a corner floor damping element. One of the advantages achieved in this way is that an improved connection of the leg is provided.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, the ceiling base and/or the floor base has damping elements on the base side, which are spaced apart from an edge of the ceiling base and/or floor base by means of a rounded indentation in particular. The advantage of this is that the corresponding ceiling and/or floor damping element can be made more stable along the base side by means of the indentation, bead or groove.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, at least one of the corner ceiling damping elements on the underside and/or at least one of the corner floor damping elements has several gradations, which are arranged on at least one side surface which is arranged perpendicular to the direction of extension of the respective base side. The respective corner damping element can thus be designed to be even more stable, which improves the damping of the packaging system overall.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, the at least one floor damping element is spaced apart from an edge by a groove in the transition region perpendicular to the direction in which the leg extends. The advantage of this is that fiber material is deposited in the groove during manufacture, resulting in greater stability and better attachment of the leg.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, the transition takes place in the area of a floor damping element, in particular with the transition extending over more than 30%, in particular more than 35%, preferably 40% of the extension of the floor damping element in this. This provides a stable transition from the base to the leg.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, two legs are connected by means of a reinforcement in the inner corner area, which in particular has at least one gradation. The advantage of this is that the rigidity of the legs and their connection to the base is improved.

According to a further advantageous development of the method of the invention, after the floor damping device has been provided and before the pre-packaged goods to be transported are arranged on the floor damping device, an open fixing device is introduced into the transport box, packaging is arranged in the fixing device, and the fixing device is inserted into at least one by means of a form-fitting engagement of the floor damping elements closed. The advantage of this is that, for example, accessories for the goods to be transported can also be packed reliably.

In figure 1 a ceiling damping device 2 is shown in schematic form and in a three-dimensional view. shows in detail figure 1 a ceiling damping device 2, which is essentially U-shaped. The ceiling damping device 2 has a base 203 and two mutually parallel legs 201, 202 perpendicular to the base 203. The length of the legs 201, 202 is the same, but can also be designed differently. A leg 201, 202 can have an extent of between 25% and 75%, preferably between 45% and 60% of the extent of the base 203, based on the respective outer edges. Furthermore, the ceiling damping device 2 has two ceiling damping elements 2b1, 2b2 or 2b6, 2b7 on the two legs 201, 202. In this case, the ceiling damping elements 2b1, 2b2 or 2b6, 2b7 on the legs 201, 202 are essentially in the form of a truncated pyramid, in particular partially in the manner of a truncated double pyramid (ceiling damping elements 2b2, 2b7). The ceiling damping elements 2b1, 2b2 or 2b6, 2b7 are connected to one another via a lower double bridge 2d.

A total of four ceiling damping elements 2b5 are arranged along the base 203, each of which is likewise designed in the manner of a truncated pyramid. Two webs 2h, 2l also run between these ceiling damping elements 2b5 along the base side 203. The first web 2h, which is arranged closer to the inner region delimited by the two legs 201, 202, has an arcuate course between each two ceiling damping elements 2b5. Running parallel to this is the narrower and lower web 21, which is essentially in the form of a truncated pyramid or cuboid. The ceiling damping elements 2b1, 2b2, 2b3, 2b4, 2b5, 2b6, 2b7 all have an upper surface 2b50 parallel to the plane 300.

In the corner area, that is to say in the transition between one leg 201, 202 and the base 203, corner ceiling damping elements 2b3, 2b4 are arranged on both sides of the plane 300, projecting essentially vertically. These have lateral gradations and bevels on their side surfaces 2p. Furthermore, an elongate opening 2c is provided in the two corner areas, which is oriented along the base side 203 . There is also an elongated and rounded indentation on the corner ceiling damping element 2b3 on its slope 2 years trained. The corner area is further reinforced by a reinforcement 2g between a leg 201, 202 and the base 203, respectively.

Overall, a peripheral edge 2a, which lies in the plane 300, is arranged on the outside of the ceiling damping element 2. FIG. In the area of the side of the base 203, which is enclosed by the two legs 201, 202, the edge 2a has an arcuate profile 2k and merges into the plane 300 in the two corner areas (reference number 2k' in figure 3 ).

On the underside 2' of the ceiling damping element 2, this also has ceiling damping elements 2b5', which can be referred to as end face damping elements, and corner ceiling damping elements 2b3'. The ceiling damping elements 2b5′ on the underside 2′ are at least partially rounded in the area facing away from the plane 300, ie in the area of their surface 2b50′, or have an arcuate shape (reference number 2e). In the transition area to the respective corner area, these are in the form of double arches (reference number 2f). Furthermore, between the ceiling damping elements 2b5 arranged on the base side 203, as with one of the two corner ceiling damping elements 2b3, 2b4, towards the outer edge 2a at the height of the respective damping elements, a groove or depression 2q is arranged, so that in the respective areas a substantially U- shaped cross-section is formed.

figure 2 12 shows a floor cushioning device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In figure 2 a floor damping device 3 is shown in schematic form and in a three-dimensional view. shows in detail figure 2 a floor damping device 3, which is essentially U-shaped. The floor damping device 3 has a base 303 and two parallel legs 301, 302 perpendicular to the base 303. The length of the legs 301, 302 is the same, but can also be designed differently. A leg 301, 302 can have an extent of between 25% and 75%, preferably between 45% and 60% of the extent of the base 303, based on the respective outer ones Edge. Furthermore, the floor damping device 3 has two floor damping elements 3b1, 3b2 or 3b6, 3b7 on the two legs 301, 302. In this case, the floor damping elements 3b1, 3b2 or 3b6, 3b7 on the legs 301, 302 are formed essentially in the manner of a truncated pyramid. The two floor damping elements 3b1, 3b2 or 3b6, 3b7 are connected to one another via a lower double bridge 3d.

A total of four bottom damping elements 3b5 are arranged along the base 303, which are also designed essentially in the manner of a truncated pyramid and can serve as front damping elements depending on the shape of the pre-packaging 4 and the transported goods 10. A web 3h also runs between the bottom damping elements 3b5 along the base 303. The web 3h is designed to be narrower and lower than the floor damping elements 3b5, some of which have a straight surface 3b50 and some have a curved surface 3b51. Steps 3l are also formed, which are used in particular for partially receiving the outer packaging 4 in a form-fitting manner. The floor damping elements 3b5 can have gradations 3f on at least two sides.

In the corner area, ie in the transition between the one leg 301, 302 and the base 303, a corner floor damping element 3b3, 3b3' is arranged on both sides of the plane 300, projecting essentially vertically. These have gradations 3k and bevels. Likewise, a V-shaped web 3j is formed between the respective corner floor damping element 3b3 and the next adjacent floor damping element 3b2, 3b7 on the respective leg 301, 302, the deepest point of which is in the middle of the distance between the two adjacent damping elements 3b2, 3b3. The respective corner area is further reinforced by a reinforcement 3g in each case between a leg 301, 302 and the base 303.

Overall, a peripheral edge 3a, which lies in plane 300, is arranged on the outside of the floor damping element 3. FIG. In the transition area between the corner area and the leg 301, 302, the edge 3a merges in an S-shape (reference number 3aa') into a second plane 3a', which essentially forms a plane with the floor damping elements 3b3', 3b5' arranged on the underside 3'. The floor damping elements 3b5` along the base 303 can serve as end-side damping elements, depending on the shape of the preliminary outer packaging 4 and the item 10 to be transported.

On the underside 3' of the floor damping element 3, this also has floor damping elements 3b5' and corner floor damping elements 3b3'. The floor damping elements 3b5' on the underside 3' are constructed in the manner of a truncated pyramid (reference number 3e).

Furthermore, a groove or indentation 3q is arranged between the floor damping elements 3b5 arranged on the base side 303 towards the outer edge 3a and the inner edge 3ai at the level of the respective damping elements, so that a substantially U-shaped cross section is formed in the respective areas.

Also shown are two identically designed floor damping devices 3A, 3B, which are arranged in the corners of the base of the transport box 20. A further corrugated cardboard blank 30 is now partially pushed under the corrugated cardboard blank 20a of the transport box 20 as the inner flap (reference number 31a). This is longer than the inner flap but smaller in width than the bottom of the transport box 20 and the corrugated cardboard blank 20a. The further corrugated board blank 30 serves as a fixing device and has two edges 32a, 32b parallel to the respective base side of the floor damping devices 3A, 3B in order to be able to fold or bend the corrugated board blank 30 by a total of 2*90 degrees. At his in the figure 4 The right end of this two tabs 33a, 33b, which are each provided with a recess 34a, 34b. These recesses 34a, 34b are - as in figure 5 to see - designed so that they correspond to the dimensions of floor cushioning elements 3b5 to provide a positive fixing of the tabs 33a, 33b. A cuboid packaging 40 can now be arranged between the bottom 31a and the top 31b of the corrugated board blank 30 . Thereafter, the actual goods to be transported 10 can be introduced into the transport box 20 with the outer packaging 4 . In this way, the corrugated board blank 30 is additionally fixed on the floor damping device 3A.

This web 2d does not continue from the ceiling damping element 2b2 in the direction of the corner ceiling damping element 2b3', but on the underside 2' it extends between the ceiling damping element 2b2 and 2b2 the passage 2c in front of the corner ceiling damping element 2b3' has a closed surface 2o.

The figures 9 and 10 show a floor damping device figure 2 in the area of a thigh ( figure 9 ) as well as a floor damping device of figure 2 in the area of a corner ( figure 10 ).

In the figure 9 a floor damping device 3 is shown with a viewing direction essentially obliquely from above onto the leg 301 . In the upper area of the figure 9 the V-shaped web 3j can be seen, which merges from the leg 301 into the corner area of the floor damping element 3b3.

Also in front of and partly in the transition 3aa' between the floor cushioning element 3b2 and the outer peripheral edge 3a and the floor cushioning element 3b2 and the inner peripheral edge 3ai is a groove or indentation 3q1 in which fiber material is collected. The transition 3aa` comprises approx. 30-40% of the length of the extension of the floor damping element 3b2 in the direction of the extension of the leg 301.

In figure 10 the corner area with corner floor damping element 3b3 is now shown. In this case, the reinforcement 3g in the corner area is stepped like a step from the outside inwards (reference number 3f). In addition, the bottom damping element 3b5 arranged on the base side 303 directly to the corner bottom damping element 3b3 is shown. This indicates - as already in figure 2 described - a rounded surface 3b51 with a contact area 3b52 on the end face of the rounded surface 3b51, the contact area 3b52 being arranged on the inner side of the U-shape of the floor damping device 3 . This enables easier handling for the fixing device 30 (see figure 5 ) provided. The support area 3b52 is used to support the outer packaging 4 of the goods to be transported 10.
