Packaging and packaging method. - Förpackning och för-packningsförfarande.

The invention relates to a package comprising an inner part of soft or wood material and a protective cover of cardboard. The invention also relates to a packaging method in which the packaging according to the invention is used.

One known package, like the covers of a book, has a bag-like inner part between the halves of the bent protective cover 10, in which the goods to be packaged are placed and which hold the goods between the halves of the protective cover. This type of packaging requires that goods of different sizes are also required for goods of varying sizes and quantities. However, producing and sorting a range of multiple pack sizes requires extra work.

In another known type of packaging, the packaging is made on an automatic machine 20 simultaneously with the packaging of the goods to be packaged, so that the inner part is first wrapped around the goods and then attached to a protective head which is bent around the inner part and the goods contained therein. This requires an expensive automatic machine with 25 packing slots. Often, however, it would be desirable for the packages to be pre-made sufficiently to allow subsequent packaging to be done by hand.

The object of the invention is to provide a package of said type 30 in which a variable amount of goods can be easily and quickly packed by hand.

To achieve this object, the package according to the invention is characterized in that a hose or ring-shaped inner part extending at both ends and having a circumference substantially larger than the circumference of the goods to be subsequently placed in the inner part is attached to the central region of the planar protective cover 35.

When using such a package, the packaging according to the invention is carried out by tightening the inner part around the article inserted therein by folding the extra circumference of the inner part, after which both ends of the protective cover are turned over the open ends of the inner part on the folded side of the inner part.

An embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 shows a package according to the invention in a perspective view during the packaging step and Figure 2 shows a package according to the invention pre-packaged.

The package shown in Figure 1 consists of two parts, namely a rectangular, planar protective cover 1 and a hose or ring-shaped inner part 2, which extends over a small part of the length of the protective cover and is attached to the central area of the protective cover. The protective cover 1 is preferably made of cardboard and the hose 2 of paper, plastic film or the like 25 flexible material. The open ends of the hose 2 point in the longitudinal direction of the protective cover 1, i.e. the circumference of the hose 2 is in the transverse direction of the protective cover 1. The circumference of the hose 2 is so large that it is always substantially larger than the circumference of the article 30 4 to be placed later in the interior. This has the special effect that a smaller or larger amount of goods 4 to be packed can be placed inside the hose 2, whereby by forming a fold 3 in the hose 2, the hose 2 is always tightened tightly around the goods 4 to be packed. If desired, the las-35 kos 3 can be attached with tape or a pre-attached adhesive tape can be used for it.

Once the goods 4 have been placed and the pleat 3 formed in the inner part 2, both ends of the protective cover 1 are turned around the open ends of the inner part 2 on the pleated side of the inner part, forming the finished package according to Fig. 2. The inner part 2 keeps the protective cover 1 5 inside the goods. The protruding corners of the protective cover 1 effectively protect the goods. If desired, the open ends of the protective cover 1 can be closed by pulling over them with tape, string or the like.

10 It is essential in the invention that the package always forms tightly around the goods to be packaged, regardless of the thickness of the quantity of goods.

Claims (2)
