Description

New laminar support.

Object of the invention

As expressed in the title of this report Descriptively, the present invention relates to a new support laminate, which has been designed and made to obtain numerous and Outstanding advantages over other existing ones for purposes Similar.

Said laminar support is constituted as a a low rectangular or quadrangular body, formed by the connection of two or more sheets of paper or the like, among which incorporates a paper core that is shaped like a cell panel, closing the assembly by the perimeter connection of the edges of the sheets that cover the central structure.

The laminar support thus formed has as its main feature of high strength, apart from a weight minimum, easy operability and 100% recyclability.

Field of the Invention

This invention can be applied in the industry dedicated to the manufacture of laminar supports, especially of paper and paperboard.

Background of the invention

The applicant is aware of the current existence of a plurality of sheet supports.

Some of these supports are formed by way of trays provided at the bottom of a support point, according to which the support thus constituted is transported with the help of a machine provided with the relevant elements that, incorporated under the laminar support itself, allow the transport and placement of them to different heights

The trays thus constituted are made preferably of wood, connecting with some boards placed transversely, which serve as an anchor for all longitudinal parts. The connection is then made through the clamping the wooden structure with the support legs formed as tacos of the same material.

The applicant is also aware of the existence of supports similar to those described above, manufactured as a monoblock, by using metallic materials, especially metallic foil, which have protrusions derived from the actual form of the material, projections that rise conveniently and up to a certain height of the laminar zone on which the bodies to be transported are located, allowing the operation of the machine that facilitates transport to distribution points, by land transport, or up to the points where the support elements and the stored material in them they are conveniently stacked.

The applicant is also aware of the existence of laminar supports made of cardboard sheets, which, adopting the shape in quadrangular or rectangular plan, they are connected to a core formed by a plurality of microcells, that make reinforcements of the outer leaves, having on the outside, specifically on its sides, longitudinal holes derived from the incorporation of said core.

The applicant is also aware of the existence of supports that come out of cardboard boxes that, when be designed with the relevant perforated and recessed lines, give place to the existence of a box, mountable by mechanical means or manuals, which after connecting properly, you have in the lower part of the horizontal base structure protrusions of the relevant filling and transport means derived from a machine suitable for it.

The resistance of the supports in the form of trays, provided with solid legs or deformations on their own structure, has proven useful in practice, complying properly its purpose, which does not prevent any inconveniences derived from its own nature to be manipulated, that is, its excessive weight, its discomfort and danger due to the existence of nails and splinters and, naturally, the great difficulty of its disposal.

As for the laminar supports obtained from connected sheets, which form a derived core in the inner zone of the incorporation of foreign bodies, made of materials different, that form cells, it has been observed that they are only partially optimal, because they do not have adequate stability in the connection of the two laminar bodies that form the surface upper and lower of the support itself; it has been observed in its use some anomalies, such as less resistance, greater moisture absorption and, therefore, easier damage.

The use of boxes made of cardboard has proved not to be useful for certain uses, especially in the freight transport that exceeds the characteristics suitable in terms of cardboard resistance Properly said.

The obvious solution to the problem today existing in this area would be to have a laminar support, which considered individually, as a tray, or as a box, acquires resistance levels equal to or greater than those obtained of materials such as wood or metal, but which in turn has all the advantages inherent in its raw material, paper, is tell:

- Operability: lighter weight

- Less danger: no nails or splinters

- Recyclability

Apart from the support of the invention, the applicant is not aware of the existence at this time of a laminar support that is provided with the characteristics ideals indicated above.

Description of the invention

The laminar support proposed by the invention is mainly defined in claim 1 divided into two parts with respect to the description of US A5 493 962. The characteristics specific are defined in the dependent claims.

More specifically, the laminar support, object of the invention, is constituted by the connection of two or more sheets of paper, which give rise to the constitution of two elements resistant laminar, including a core of paper, which adopts a honeycomb-like cellular configuration. Then, a perimeter connection is made, whose purpose is connect the top sheet and bottom sheet and incorporate so motionless said core.

This sheet constituted in the manner described is you can implement through its connection on one of its surfaces of three lines of projections in rectangular, quadrangular or circular, provided inside a core similar to incorporated between the two bodies that constitute the upper part and the bottom of the support, or otherwise the projections that constitute the legs are hollow inside.

In turn, the projections are connected by conventional means on one of its surfaces and may be optionally connected by a piece of sheet material, similar to the one used to configure the body of the support.

Optionally, the invention may have in its four-part perimeter structure similar to the body of the support, connected by conventional means, forming a hollow container, with a general prism shape, inside which They can transport different packaged or bulk goods.

Likewise, said four pieces may form by themselves a monobloc body shaped like a box pack, provided with three recessed lines, where you must have place its relevant folding, consequently forming four surfaces, using the two smaller ends of said configuration to carry out the relevant connection of the themselves and to form the upper hollow area; having each of the surfaces some characteristics identical to the new support laminate.

The container body thus formed, as indicated above, may optionally have a cover, which it can be formed from the support itself, to which incorporate laminar edges to hold them in the mouth, being said laminar edges of any type considered appropriate, fully conventional and applicable in a manner exclusively punctual.
