Description

Packing to accommodate siding plates ground.

The invention relates to a packaging for accommodate floor covering plates, in particular panels of floor with a laminate surface or parquet plates, with a floor part and a cover part, with a perimeter that corresponds essentially to the perimeter of the plates of floor covering.

From document DE 20 2004 019 391.4 it is known a cardboard transport packaging to accommodate floor panels with a rolling surface with longitudinal side parts, with those that wrap the panels on five sides. To protect the floor panels, the cardboard packaging is completely surrounded by a sheet of transparent plastic, for which it is usually use a shrink foil, with which the packaging is welded Of transport.

To install the panels, the shrink foil, remove the panels from the packaging of Cardboard transport and join the panels together. Once I know the panels have been installed, the sheet must be disposed of as waste Shrinkage and cardboard.

In Germany there are systems for this collectors that house paper, cardboard and cardboard. The material collected takes most of the time to a material circuit recyclable. The usually valuable cardboard packaging is mixed then with other kinds of paper and processed to form new products. A reuse of the original cardboard is not expected.

In countries that do not have any system organized collection and recycling, the waste is deposited as packaging or are used thermally. A reuse is not provides.

The consequence of both systems is that resources are not used optimally. In addition the user of plates floor covering has a higher cost for transportation from packaging to collection systems. It must also removed during the installation of the cover plates of floor or floor panels the corresponding packaging of the area of work, which is detrimental to quick installation.

Document DE 198 22 339 A1 describes a packaging unit for a product, in particular for a floor covering with one floor part, two side parts and a cover part, which can be used as support material for floor plates. The perimeter of the lid part and the part of soil essentially correspond to the perimeter of the floor covering plates.

Starting from this state of the art, the invention has the basic task of making packaging available of transport with which the inconveniences are avoided before described.

Within the framework of the invention this task by packing with the characteristics of the claim 1.

This one has the advantage of not being it produces no cost in disposal as packaging waste and On the other hand, no carpet has to be purchased separately to avoid the noise of the footsteps to insert under the floor covering plates. Likewise, by giving up the one layer factory application to eliminate noise from stepped under the floor covering plates, the packing height for transport, since the plates of floor covering have a lower transport volume equal area of land in square meters. This brings as a consequence that on the one hand the height of the packaging is reduced and on the other hand that the packaging is not expensive to eliminate as waste or recycle

Finally, it is avoided by improving the packing as insulation or attenuation of the noise of the footsteps the corresponding application of a noise insulation layer of the footsteps on the bottom of the siding plate floor, bringing the floor covering plates, in Particular floor panels or parquet plates are cheaper of manufacturing

Packed panels are protected during transport by isolation and / or noise attenuation of the footsteps, thereby minimizing damage due to shipping. Other parts may be arranged between the packing sections lateral, joined by folding lines with the sections of packaging, to enable so that the plates are wrapped floor covering stacked on top of each other. Side parts have an increased width with respect to the following in the Thickness of the packing material of a packing section.

A refinement of the invention provides that the perimeter of the floor or cover part is essentially rectangular and then follow at least one longitudinal side a side part, which is connected to the floor or cover part by a folding line. Thus it is possible to wrap the plates floor covering or floor panels stacked one on top of another at least on three sides or on four sides and put to provision a very good protection function using the mat For the noise of footsteps.

In order to recognize the decorative ornament of the floor panels, perforations in the part of floor or cover, particularly rectangular, oval, oblong or round, to allow a buyer a glimpse of the ornament existing decorative or on the existing surface of the floor covering plates.

Advantageously the packaging is configured to from a wood fiber mat, a spongy material, a plastic or a rubber material, to achieve optimal Isolations or attenuations of footsteps noise. At once such materials serve as good protection against damage to the transport.

The packaging has an extended state of surface that corresponds at least to the surface of the packed floor covering plates, to ensure that there is enough insulation material against the noise of the footprints for the installed floor area. To guarantee a Good transport protection, wrap the plates of salary lining at least on three sides, preferably on five sides, the upper face of the floor covering plates to present the ornament decorative. It is also possible to wrap the plates floor covering everywhere, to make available Optimal protection during transport. The packaging can be printed or surrounded by a seal on which they are printed product information or installation instructions.

For protection against moisture, you can be surrounded by a plastic sheet, in particular a shrink foil.

In the packaging can be provided lines of folded, to facilitate the deployment around the plates of floor covering stacked on top of each other.

When a part of soil is used and they are Six floor covering plates are provided in a package, Five other sections are planned next to the ground, which essentially correspond to the perimeter of the plates of floor covering, so for each siding plate There is an insulation mat on the floor against the noise of the footsteps In the packaging can also be practiced lines of expected breakage, in particular perforations, to facilitate a separation of the packing sections or packing pieces superfluous These planned break lines may correspond with the fold lines.

At least one side of a part of lid or floor, followed by other sections of packaging, which essentially they have the perimeter of the floor or cover part and that are linked together by folding lines, which a surface is configured using the unfolded packaging essentially closed, which corresponds to the surface of the floor covering plates to install.

The invention also relates to a panel of floor covering plates with packaging, as before has described.

They will be described in more detail below. Execution examples based on the figures. The same references designate the same components or elements. It shows in

Figure 1 a cutout of a package with sections of packaging to fold over one another;

Figure 2 a cutout of a wrapping package a pile of floor covering plates; as well as

Figure 3 a cutout for a six pack sides.

Figure 1 shows a cutout or a development of a package not included in the invention, in particular  transport packaging of a material that attenuates the noise of footsteps and / or insulating against the noise of footsteps, with a part of cover 1, whose longitudinal sides limit lateral parts 2, 3, joined by folding lines 12, 13 with the part of top. In the cover part 1, recesses 8 of oblong shape, to make the upper face of a visible floor covering plate not represented, at least by zones. On the front faces of the lid part 1 are shaped the parts of the front faces 9, shaped also from attenuating or noise insulating material the footsteps and that can be fixed forming a wrap on the corresponding folding lines. These parts of the faces front 9 serve to protect the front faces of the floor covering plates.

The cover part 1 has a perimeter 10 that essentially it is composed of the perimeter of the plates of floor covering not shown, for example panels floor of a composite of wood or parquet panels. To one part Side 3 is followed by several other packing sections 4, 5, 6, 7, joined together by folding lines 34, 45, 56, 67, with that you have an essentially closed surface of a material which attenuates or insulates against the noise of the footsteps after deploying the packaging. Advantageously the other packing sections 4, 5, 6, 7 they are folded one upon another as an accordion and arranged in the lower part of the packaging or the lining stack of ground. The quantity of the other packing sections 4, 5, 6, 7 is function of the quantity of floor covering plates packed and must be sized so that it corresponds to the quantity of floor covering plates packed. So can be assured that sufficient insulating material is available against the noise of the footsteps to provide the installed floor of a insulation against the noise of footsteps. Folding lines 34, 45, 56, 67 can also be configured as lines of expected breakage, to enable a more necessary adaptation if necessary Easy bottom support against the noise of the footsteps at conditions of the room in which the floor must be installed. The Other packing sections 4, 5, 6, 7 present in each case the perimeter of packed floor covering plates. Yes different lengths or dimensions are arranged in a package of the floor covering plates, can be configured the expected break lines such that they correspond to the dimensions, so that for each plate size can be separated a section of insulating material. The perimeter 10 of the parts of lid or floor 1 is a function of the perimeter of the plate stack of I usually pack.

In packed state, the plates are surrounded of floor covering stacked on top of each other on all sides, on the upper side by the cover part 1, on the sides Longitudinal through the lateral parts 2, 3, on the faces front by means of the parts of the front faces 9 and on the face bottom by the other packing sections 4, 5, 6, 7 folded one above another. To make available protection against moisture, the packaging may be wrapped in a plastic sheet, bringing the stacks of floor covering plates Individuals can be easily taken and transported. You can also keep the packaging subject as a whole through one or more seals or bands. The packaging can be equipped with an impression, for example with product information or installation instructions.

Figure 2 shows a development or a cut of an alternative packaging, designating them Reference symbols the same elements. Contrary to the configuration form according to figure 1, is attached below from the side part 3 another side part 30 through a line of folded 33 with the cover part 1. To this other side part 30 follow another folding line 34 through another folding line 4, which by means of a side part 40 is in turn connected with another packing section 5. Among the other corresponding sections of packing 4, 5, 6, 7 are thus arranged other side pieces 40, 50, 60, which are joined by folding lines 44, 45, 55, 56, 66, 67 with the other packing sections. Through these parts lateral 30, 40, 50, 60, it is possible to roll a stack with plates of floor covering, the side parts being sized 30, 40, 50, 60 such that they take into account the increase in the size of the packing due to the additional layer of packing material. The width of the side parts 30, 40, 50, 60 and the others packing sections 5, 6, 7, thus increases in each case in the thickness of the packaging material or the insulation against noise The footsteps. Thus it is possible to roll the stack of plates floor covering, 8 recesses may be configured not only on the cover or floor part 1, but also on the other packing section 5, 7 that is in each case above. Too here it is planned that the folding lines 12, 13, 33, 34, 44, 45, 55, 56, 66, 67, can also be configured as lines of  expected breakage, to enable easy adaptation to the section in plant to install. The parts of the front faces 9 can also be cut and removed by planned break lines and protect, in a packed state, the front faces of the floor covering plates. The expected break lines they can also be configured by crossing, resulting in rectangles or squares, which can be cut or torn off.

A cutout of a packaging not included in the invention for a six wrap sides of a pile of floor covering in which to a part lateral 2 that borders a part of floor 1, is followed by a part of lid 1 ', which in a state of packaging rests well on one of the Other packing sections 4, 5, 6, 7, or plates floor covering. In the cover piece 1 'can be trimmed a recess 8 or an impression or adhesive. Together with the parts of the front face 9, you can achieve a complete wrap.

The packaging according to figures 1, 2 and 3 can be made of wood fiber mats from plates large format, of which a sample is stamped by stamping tools This sample may contain an outline folding the packaging, folding the large stamped plates format in a cardboard folder. The lining plates of floor are then placed in the packaging and if necessary Wrap with plastic foil. Whenever the packaging is Composed of a rubber material, it is supplied as rolled material and is also equipped with a device automatic stamping, folding lines for folding simple.

The packaging is rolled, according to the examples of execution, either several times around the plates or panels of floor covering, so that the insulation against the noise of the footsteps cover the same surface as the plates or panels of packed floor covering, or alternatively folds the same on the lower face or on the upper face on the plates of floor covering. It can also be folded multiple of the other packing sections 4, 5, 6, 7 below the floor part 1, while the cover part 1 'folds over the pile of floor covering plates in one layer. TO The package is then packed in a shrink foil.
