Description

DESCRIPTION

FRAGILE FLAT ELEMENT CONDITIONER

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

It is an object of the present invention, as the title of the invention establishes, a conditioner for fragile flat elements, more specifically it refers to a protective packaging for fragile flat elements, such as mirrors and glass, among others.

The present invention is characterized by the special design and configuration of each and every one of the cut and cut cardboard sheets used to form the conditioner and that have characteristics such that they offer effective protection that prevents the product housed in an impact. the inside of the conditioner breaks, also serving different sizes of products.

Therefore, the present invention is within the scope of the packaging used in the protection of fragile flat elements, such as mirrors, glass and the like.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Numerous existing documents disclose conditioners for brittle flat elements. The solutions provided are multiple but most of them carry out the protection by means of polystyrene elements specially designed to immobilize and protect fragile flat elements.

Some of the embodiments seek to protect mirrors, others adopt a circular configuration in which to house the elements to be protected, and others are finally made of cardboard and use distance elements from the final packages.

Despite all of the above, it should be noted that none of the known state-of-the-art embodiments offers the possibility of creating a protected interior space of non-reducible dimensions against an external impact and which in turn offers again an exterior space also protected with the walls of the packaging that would house it, so we can speak of double or reinforced protection.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to overcome the existing developments of flat protectors for fragile elements, developing a protector like the one described below and it is collected in its first embodiment by means of a reinforced or double protection conditioner.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is a conditioner for fragile flat elements that offers a double protection of said elements in addition to allowing the conditioner to be conditioned according to the dimensions of the fragile flat element to be protected.

The conditioner is made up of two cut die-cut sheets, which are base sheets on which at least two separable sections are attached, which form separate separating partitions.

The base sheets have at least one set of die cut grooves, preferably they can be two sets of die cut grooves, being able to have even more sets of die cut grooves and which are also preferably but not limitingly arranged in opposite pairs. The fact of having several sets of die-cut grooves serves to adapt the protected space according to the dimensions of the flat element to be protected.

The separating partitions comprise a central part from which laterally two flaps join the central part by means of a folding line and the flaps are segregated from each other, leaving the intermediate section interposed between the two base sheets, while the lower and upper sections they are previously folded through the die-cut grooves to then proceed to their expansion, thus preventing the extraction of the partition walls and offering a greater surface area for external protection. The separation between the sections have a cut and perforations that allow the separating partition to adjust to the thickness width of the flat element to be protected.

The entire previous set is accommodatable in an outer packaging so that a double protection is formed, on the one hand an external protection formed by the upper and lower section of the pop-up flaps through the die-cut grooves of the base sheets, while by On the other hand, an interior protection defined by the space between the base plates and the intermediate section of the side flaps of the partition walls is achieved.

Thanks to the described characteristics, a conditioner or protector for fragile flat elements is achieved, which offers double protection and can also be adapted for different dimensions of the flat elements to be protected.

Unless otherwise indicated, all technical and scientific elements used herein have the meaning that is ordinarily understood by a person skilled in the art to which this invention belongs. Similar or equivalent procedures and materials to those described in the specification may be used in the practice of the present invention.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION.

In view of the figures, a preferred embodiment of the proposed invention is described below.

The conditioner object of the invention comprises a first base foil (1) and a second base foil (2), which in a preferred non-limiting embodiment, can be the same two foils, and that in figure 1 the representation in plant of both sheets.

The base sheets (1) and (2) comprise, comprise in the shown embodiment a first set of die cut grooves (3) and a second set of die cut grooves (4), being able to have more sets of die cut grooves, which define a space different interior, leaving the first set of die cut grooves (3) inside the space defined by the second set of die cut grooves (4).

In a possible embodiment, which corresponds to that marked in figure 1, the first set of die cut grooves (3) are two opposite pairs of grooves, just as the second set of die cut grooves (4) are also two pairs of facing grooves (4).

Two separating partitions (5) or spacers are arranged on one of the sides of the base sheet (1), which can be separated from the rest of each base sheet (1) and (2). The separating partitions (5) or spacers can also be supplied separately from the sheets.

In figure 2 it is shown how each separating partition (5) comprises a central part (5.1) of rectangular shape and thickness less than the width of the sets of die-cut grooves (3) and (4), where on each side of the part There are two central flaps that comprise a folding lower section (5.2), an intermediate section (5.3) and an upper section (5.4), the lower section (5.2) being separated from the intermediate section (5.3) by means of multiple climbing lines. (5.5) that allow setting the width of the intermediate section (5.3) and therefore of the protected interior volume, while the upper section (5.4) is separated from the intermediate section by means of a cut line (5.6). The set of sections (5.2), (5.3) and (5.4), emerging on each side of the central part (5.1) that make up the flap, is separated from said central part (5.1) by folding lines (5.7).

Figure 3 shows how, at first, the intermediate and lower sections are folded, leaving the upper sections (5.4) extended, then the insertion of the separating partitions (5) in its folded part into one of the sets of the die-cut grooves (3) or (4), the assembly being formed as shown in figure 4.

Subsequently, the base sheet is turned in which the separating partitions (5) have been inserted, and then it is introduced through the set of die-cut grooves (3) or (4) of the other base sheet (2), as shown in figure 5, making the folded sections of the partition walls emerge through the die-cut grooves (3) or (4).

Figure 6 shows how the assembly would look, where it can be seen that the separating partitions (5) pass through the die-cut grooves (3) or (4) of each base sheet, said base sheets (1) and (2) being separated between yes at a distance equal to the width of the intermediate sections (5.3) of the flaps of each separating partition (5), emerging through the base plate (1) for example the lower sections (5.2), while through the base sheet (2) emerge the upper sections (5.4), so that a protected interior volume (8) is defined in which the fragile flat element (6) to be protected is housed.

The emerging parts of the separating partitions (5) through the base sheets (1) and (2) constitute a second barrier for protection against impacts once the previous assembly is housed in an outer packaging (7), which conforms to from the sheet shown in figure 7.

Therefore, once the conditioner is housed inside the outer packaging (7), a double protection barrier is formed for the fragile flat elements (6) housed inside it, a first barrier formed by the intermediate sections of the side flaps of the separating partitions (5.3) that define the protected interior space (8), and a second barrier formed by the lower (5.2) and upper (5.4) sections of the lateral flaps of each separating partition.

Once the nature of the present invention has been described, as well as the way to put it into practice, it is stated that, within its essential nature, it may be practiced in other embodiments that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example. , and to which it will also achieve the protection that is sought, provided that it does not alter, change or modify its fundamental principle.
