Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging insert for the protection of a corner of a packed roof window, where the packaging insert is made from folded cardboard and comprises a base section having a length direction and a height direction extending perpendicular to a length direction, where the base section comprises two longitudinal edges extending along the length direction and two end edges extending between the longitudinal edges, where the base section comprises a fold line extending along the height direction and separating a first part of the packaging insert from a second part of the packaging insert, where the first part and the second part extend substantially perpendicular to each other in a folded use state of the packaging insert, and where each of a first projection on the first part and a second projection on the second part projects from the base section in a width direction extending perpendicular to a length direction and to the height direction.
  • the invention further relates to a packed roof window and to a method for packing a roof window.
  • shock-absorbing packaging inserts have traditionally been made of expanded polystyrene (EPS), which is cheap and has excellent shock-absorbing properties, but in later years it has been desired for environmental reasons to reduce the amount of polymers used in packaging.
  • EPS expanded polystyrene
  • Paper-based shock-absorbing packaging inserts of the type mentioned in the introduction known for example from US4000843 , have therefore gained new popularity, but a paper-based packaging insert which protects roof windows even better is desired.
  • this and further objects are achieved with a packaging insert of the kind mentioned in the introduction which is furthermore characterised in that the first projection and the second projection are located in continuation of each other in the length direction and at a distance from each of the longitudinal edges of the base section, that the first projection comprises a first projection engagement element, and that the second projection comprises a second projection engagement element.
  • a packed roof window comprising a roof window arranged in a cardboard box and at least one packaging insert as defined above, where the cardboard box comprises two primary sides extending along an interior side and an exterior side of the roof window and four secondary sides extending between the primary sides, where the first part of the packaging insert is arranged between a first frame member of the roof window and a secondary side of the cardboard box, and where the second part of the packaging insert is arranged between a second frame member of the roof window and a secondary side of the cardboard box.
  • first projection and the second projection being located at a distance from each of the longitudinal edges of the base section, they will be located between an outer side of the roof window and a secondary side of the cardboard box in the packed state, keeping the roof window at a distance from the cardboard box.
  • the projections thus create a gap between the roof window and the cardboard box, which will provide a cushioning in case the packed roof window is dropped or handled roughly.
  • the use of projections allow an adaptation to the shape of the outer side of the roof window.
  • the projections may be located such that they will project over, under, or between projecting parts of the roof window.
  • the projections may project underneath a covering member provided on an exterior side of the frame of the roof window, i.e. a side intended to face the exterior in the mounted state of the roof window. This in turn will allow the loads on the roof window resulting from a transmission of force between the roof window and the projections to affect the roof window where it is the strongest.
  • the projections will be located such that they contact the frame of the roof window.
  • first projection and the second projection being located at a distance from each of the longitudinal edges of the base section, the risk of the first and/or second projection being pressed aside and into a space between the roof window and a primary side of the cardboard box is considerably reduced.
  • the projections thus stay in contact with the outer side of the roof window, providing some protection of the roof window, even if they are deformed.
  • a mechanical engagement is to understood as an engagement where one projection engagement element physically hinders another projection engagement element from moving, whereas a frictional engagement is to be understood as an engagement where the two projection engagement elements press against each other.
  • the two types of engagement may be combined so that a frictional engagement hinders the movement necessary to break or open a mechanical engagement between two projection engagement elements.
  • the engagement between the projection engagement elements results in material of the first projection and material of the second projection overlapping.
  • At least one of the first projection engagement element and the second projection engagement element may be hook-shaped and/or the first projection engagement element and the second projection engagement element may be substantially identical, possibly mirror-inverted.
  • At least one of the first projection and the second projection may be elongate with its longest dimension extending along the length direction of the base section to provide a longer / bigger area of contact with the roof window than if using a more local projection. It is presently considered advantageous that the length of each of the elongate projections along the length direction is at least 15 cm, preferably at least 20 cm, said length being measured where the projections contact the roof window when in use.
  • the first and second projections do not need to be contact with the roof window in the packed state of the roof window, but this will usually be the case. If the packed roof window is arranged so that it rests on one of the secondary sides of the cardboard box, the roof window will be forced towards the part(s) of the packaging insert(s) extending along this secondary side under the influence of gravity. In that case only the projection(s) on this/these part(s) may be in contact with the roof window. It is, however, also possible to use packaging inserts, which are slightly over-size so that they are jammed between the secondary sides of the cardboard box and the outer sides of the roof window. In that case, packing insert(s) provided on the opposite side of the roof window compared to the side on which the packed roof window rests may remain in contact with the roof window at all times.
  • the projections may be collapsible, for example by being hollow, allowing them to yield under pressure. This may allow the projections to give way in case the packed roof window is exposed to excessive force, for example by being dropped. One or more projections may then absorb at least some of the force of the impact, thereby protecting the roof window.
  • At least one of the first part and the second part comprises two projections at different levels in the height direction. If two projections are provided on both the first and the second part and at the same levels they may all be provided with projection engagement elements to provided two sets of overlapping and engaging projections. It is also possible to have three or more projections at different levels in the height direction.
  • the different levels may be determined by the design of the roof window or by mechanical considerations to achieve the best possible shock-absorbing properties, and the projections at different levels may have different sizes and/or shapes to make the packaging insert match the shape of the roof window.
  • the projections are arranged symmetrically about the length direction, such that they are located at the same distances from the longitudinal edges. This will mean that it will not matter which side of the packaging insert is up or down in the packed state, thereby eliminating the risk of the packaging insert being arranged in a wrong position, which could result in suboptimal protection of the roof window. If having only one projection on each part, a similar effect may be achieved by each projection being at the centre of the base section, seen along the height direction, and preferably having a symmetrical cross-sectional shape.
  • first part and the second part may be of the same length so that the same length of the outer side of the roof window is covered regardless how the packaging insert is arranged.
  • the length of each of the first part and the second part along the length direction is at least 15 cm, preferably at least 20 cm.
  • the optimal length may depend on the size of the roof window. It is presently considered advantageous that at least 30% of length/width of the roof window is cover by packaging inserts, and for larger roof windows packaging inserts as described above embracing the corners of the roof window may be used in combination with other linear packaging inserts.
  • Such linear packaging inserts may for example be made from honeycomb cardboard or multilayer corrugated cardboard.
  • the height of the base section along height direction corresponds to interior dimension of the cardboard box. This will allow the base section to reinforce the secondary sides of the cardboard box, thereby giving the cardboard box a better compressive strength, which is advantageous when stacking packed roof windows on top of each other.
  • the projections are made from folded cardboard, and they may be made from the same sheet of cardboard, possibly even from the same sheet of cardboard as the base section, so that the packaging insert can be made from one single sheet of cardboard. This may be achieved by folding the sheet of cardboard such that one section of the sheet forms the base section and the projection(s) is/are formed on another section. It is, however, also possible to simply fold projections on the section forming the base section and subsequently stabilizing these folded projections, for example by applying an adhesive tape spanning the concave side of a folded projection. Making the packaging insert from one sheet of cardboard may facilitate production and/or keep costs down.
  • Making one or more projections from a separate sheet of cardboard may allow the use of different cardboard materials, such as corrugated cardboard for the projections and multilayer corrugated cardboard for the base section, thereby giving them different properties.
  • the other piece of material may be cardboard but could also be for example a paper-based honeycomb material or a wood-based material.
  • each projection will typically have two legs extending from the base section and converging towards each other, giving the projection a trapezoidal or triangular cross-sectional shape.
  • the distance between these two projections in height direction at the base section may be less than 5 mm, preferably less than 1 mm. In this way the projections may support each other at the base section, thereby hindering a collapse of the projections. Ideally for this purpose the distance between the two projections would be zero, but this may not be possible in practice, especially when the two projections are made from one sheet of folded cardboard.
  • the entire packaging insert is made from one sheet of cardboard, where one section of the sheet forms the base section and the projection(s) is/are formed on another section
  • two edges of the sheet may located at one of the longitudinal edges of the packaging insert.
  • the packaging insert comprises two or more projections on each part
  • the joint may be located between projections, whereby it may contribute to stabilizing the projections, particularly if an adhesive is used at the joint.
  • the sheet of cardboard is folded along fold lines extending in parallel to the length direction, but is it noted that the invention is not limited to such embodiments.
  • the projections may be attached to the base section by means of an adhesive, such as a hotmelt glue. Alternatively, or additionally, staples or other mechanical means for attachment may be use. If one or more projections form part of a sheet of material, this sheet may be attached to the base section in a similar way. If the entire packaging insert is made from one sheet of cardboard, where one section of the sheet forms the base section and the projection(s) is/are formed on another section, the two sections may be interconnected in a similar way.
  • this other section may it itself comprise two or more subsections.
  • the projections of the first part of the packaging insert may be formed on a first subsection and the projections of the second part of the packaging insert may be formed on a second subsection, said subsections possibly being entirely separated from each other but connected to the base section.
  • Such a separation of a first subsection and a second subsection will typically extend along the fold line, making the packaging insert less stiff at the fold line and thereby potentially facilitating folding.
  • a similar separation to facilitate folding may also be found in embodiments, where the projections are form on sheet(s) of cardboard separate from the base section.
  • the packing insert and the use thereof has been described only with reference to embodiments where the first part extends along a first frame member of the roof window and second part extending along a second frame member of the roof window, i.e. where the packaging insert embraces a corner of the roof window.
  • the packaging insert may, however, also be used in an un-folded state, where it not folded along the fold line. In this un-folded state the base section is linear and the first projection and the first projection engagement element and the second projection engagement element are not in engagement with each other.
  • the un-folded packaging insert will typically be arranged at the outer sides of the roof window, for example between two folded packaging inserts each arranged at a corner of the roof window, but it may also be arranged on the pane of the roof window to protect it from impact or to keep the primary side of the cardboard box at a distance from the pane, for example to prevent abrasive damage.
  • a packaging insert 1 for the protection of a corner of a packed roof window is shown in an un-folded state.
  • the packaging insert is made from folded corrugated cardboard and comprises a base section 10 and two sets 11, 12 of projections.
  • Each set of projections comprises a first projection 111, 121 projecting from a first section 101 of the base section and a second projection 112, 122 projecting from a second section 102 of the base section.
  • the projections project in a width direction W extending perpendicular to a length direction L and to a height direction H of the base section 10.
  • the packaging insert 1 has been folded along a fold line F extending along the height direction H and separating a first part A of the packaging insert from a second part B of the packaging insert.
  • the first part A and the second part B extend substantially perpendicular to each other allowing them to embrace a corner of a packed roof window as will be shown later.
  • the first projection 111, 121 and the second projection 112, 122 of each set are located in continuation of each other in the length direction L and at a distance from each of the longitudinal edges 103 of the base section 10.
  • the projections are elongate with their longest dimensions extending along the length direction L and extend all the way out to the end edges 104 of the base section 10, but this may not be the case in other embodiments.
  • the two sets 11, 12 of projections are identical except mirror-inverted and are arranged symmetrically about the length direction L, such that they are located at the same distances from a respective longitudinal edge 103.
  • the packaging insert looks the same no matter if it is arranged as shown in Fig. 2 or upside-down. This in turn means that the risk of the packaging insert being arranged incorrectly when in use is low.
  • each of the first projections 111, 121 and each of the second projections 112, 122 comprises a projection engagement element 13.
  • These projection engagement elements are configured for coming into engagement with each other and lock the projections to each other to lock the packaging insert in the state shown in Fig. 2 , once it has been folded along the fold line F.
  • the shape and function of the projection engagement elements 13 are shown in more detail in the schematic representation in Fig. 3 , where the projection engagement element shown on the first projection 121 of the second set 12 and on the second projection 112 of the first set 11 in Fig. 1 is designated 13a and the projection engagement element shown on the first projection 111 of the first set 11 and on the second projection 122 of the second set 12 in Fig. 1 is designated 13b.
  • the tip section 131 of the second projection engagement element 13b comes in underneath the first projection engagement element 13a as shown in Fig. 3c , and sections 132, 133 of the first projection engagement element 13a come in underneath the second projection engagement element 13b as indicated in Figs 3d and 3e .
  • the two triangular recesses 134, 135 in the two projection engagement elements 13a, 13b come into engagement with each other as seen by comparing Fig. 3f and 3g , thereby locking the two projection engagement elements to each other. Furthermore, the tip section 131 of the projection engagement element 13b and the end surface 136 of the projection engagement element 13a comes into engagement with base section 10, thereby blocking a further folding of the packaging insert.
  • the projection engagement element on the first projection 111 of the first set 11 is identical to that on the second projection 122 of the second set 12 and that on the second projection 112 of the first set is identical to that on the first projection 121 of the second set.
  • FIG. 4 Another embodiment of a packaging insert is shown in an un-folded state is Fig. 4 .
  • the same reference numbers are used as in Figs 1-3 for features having substantially the same function, even if not structurally identical. Only differences between the embodiments will be described. It is to be understood that other features and functions are the same as described with reference to the previous figures.
  • the two sets of projections 11, 12 are here made by folding along fold lines extending in parallel to the length direction L and each projection has two legs 14a, 14b extending away from the base section 10 and converging towards each other, giving the projections a triangular cross-sectional shape.
  • the projections in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 have the cross-sectional shape of a right-angled triangle and are arranged at a distance D from each other in the height direction H
  • the projections in Fig. 4 have a cross-sectional shape of a isosceles triangle and are abutting each other at the base section 10, i.e. having a distance of less than 1 mm.
  • the embodiment in Fig. 4 has been found to have a bigger compression strength in the width direction W than the embodiment in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 , both due to the cross-sectional shape of the projections 11, 12 and to the projections supporting each other where they meet at the base section 10.
  • Both the packaging insert in Fig. 4 and that in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 are made by folding a single sheet of corrugated cardboard.
  • the two edges of the sheet together form the lower longitudinal edge in Fig. 2 and the lefthand longitudinal edge 103a in Fig. 4 , while the upper longitudinal edge 103 in Fig. 2 and the righthand longitudinal edge 103b are formed by a fold on the sheet.
  • the cardboard has been weakened by intermittent slits going half way through the cardboard at the fold forming a longitudinal edge 103b. This facilitates the folding and helps to provide a straight longitudinal edge of the packaging insert.
  • the section of the sheet on which the projections 11, 12 are formed is attached to the section forming the base section 10 by means of an adhesive. Where the two projections 11, 12 meet each other and the base section in the embodiment in Fig. 4 , a hotmelt glue 15 has been used and can be seen.
  • the projection engagement elements 13a, 13b of the embodiment in Fig. 4 are shown enlarged and from different angles in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 . They are considerable simpler than the ones in Figs 1-3 , being formed largely of a triangular cut-out in each of the projections 11, 12.
