  • FIG. 1 A packaging unit according to a first exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 1 in a partial sectional view.
  • the packaging unit 10 comprises packaging contents 11 (in the example cube-shaped or cuboidal) which are surrounded at a distance by a closed casing 12 which is made up of two half shell-shaped casing segments 12 a, b .
  • the packaging contents 11 in this example are shown as a package in which the actual goods are packed.
  • the casing 12 has a wall with a uniform wall thickness d. Naturally, the wall thickness may also be varied.
  • reinforcing elements such as for example ribs, beads or the like, may be attached or formed inside or outside on the casing 12 , said reinforcing elements, in particular, mechanically stabilizing the casing 12 .
  • the casing may be configured to be single-layered but also multi-layered.
  • the packaging contents 11 are smaller than the internal diameter of the casing 12 so that without additional fixing means the packaging contents 11 would be movable in the casing 12 and during the rolling of the packaging unit 10 would lead to damage to the packaging contents 11 or to the casing 12 . Additionally, when rolled, the packaging unit 10 would perform unpredictable movements which are undesirable when the packaging unit is transported.
  • the packaging contents 11 are, therefore, fixed in the casing 12 by means of a plurality of spacers 15 a - d .
  • the spacers may have different shapes and may be arranged at different positions between the packaging contents 11 and the casing 12 . In the example of FIG.
  • the spacers 15 a - d are cushion-shaped and in each case are positioned between a side surface of the packaging contents 11 and the casing 12 .
  • the spacers 15 a - d are preferably resiliently deformable so that they press with a certain force against the packaging contents 11 but are also able to absorb impacts during transportation and to keep impacts away from the packaging contents 11 .
  • the spacers 15 a - d may, for example, consist of a resilient plastics foam. However, they may also be gas-filled cushions as are used when packaging goods.
  • the spacers 15 a - d may be fastened to the inner wall of the casing 12 or in turn to the packaging contents 11 . They may, however, also be located freely between the packaging contents 11 and the casing 12 , wherein their position is fixed for example by the friction between the spacers 15 a - d and the inner wall of the casing 12 .
  • the spacers may form part of a film. Naturally, the spacers 15 a - d may also be specifically pre-shaped in order to ensure improved adaptation to the packaging contents 11 and/or the casing 12 .
  • the position of the packaging contents 11 inside the casing 12 may preferably be selected so that the center of gravity 19 of the packaging contents coincides with the central point of the casing 12 (in a casing 12 of spherical shape). Certain deviations between the central point of the sphere and the center of gravity 19 may be tolerated, depending on the total weight of the packaging contents 11 . With heavy packaging contents 11 , however, a greater deviation leads to uneven movement patterns of the packaging unit 10 which make transportation difficult. In combination with a method for producing a packaging unit according to the invention details are provided below on how the coincidence between the center of gravity 19 and the central point of the packaging unit 10 may be achieved in a simple manner.
  • FIG. 2 A different type of fixing is shown in FIG. 2 .
  • the casing 12 in the packaging unit 10 ′ is the same as in FIG. 1 .
  • the fixing connection is effected in FIG. 2 , on the one hand, as in FIG. 1 by spacers 15 a, b but, on the other hand, an application of film 16 is also used, said film enclosing the packaging contents 11 , being guided in the separating plane 13 of the casing 12 on opposing sides and being fixed there so as to be tensioned between the two casing segments 12 a and 12 b .
  • the fixing by means of the application of film 16 has the advantage that it may be performed rapidly and effectively by known methods.
  • film 16 may be implemented between the casing segments 12 a and 12 b by friction, adhesive bonding or by pins or rods, which extend from one casing segment through the film 16 to the other casing segment.
  • an overlapping connection 17 may be provided as in FIG. 3 .
  • FIG. 4 A further type of connection between the packaging contents 11 and the two-part casing 12 is shown in FIG. 4 .
  • Each of the half shell-shaped casing segments 12 a, b is in this case provided with a filling body 18 a, b , which completely fills up the space between the half-shell and the packaging contents 11 .
  • the filling bodies 18 a, b may be freely arranged between the casing 12 and the packaging contents 11 . The fixing then takes place by the positive connection and/or frictional connection.
  • the filling bodies 18 a, b may, however, also be optionally fastened to the packaging contents 11 and/or to the inner face of the casing 12 and/or the casing segments 12 a, b , for example adhesively bonded.
  • the filling bodies 18 a, b may be prefabricated elements but it is also conceivable that they are produced by the filling and subsequent solidification of a suitable material, for example a foam material, in the intermediate spaces between the packaging contents 11 and casing 12 . In the last-mentioned case it is expedient to provide separating films around the packaging contents and in the separating plane 13 , so that the packaging contents 11 may be subsequently removed in a simple and safe manner.
  • a suitable material for example a foam material
  • the center of gravity 19 of the packaging contents 11 was located in the central point of the (cube-shaped) packaging contents 11 .
  • a symmetrical arrangement of the packaging contents 11 in the casing 12 was sufficient in order to bring the center of gravity 19 to coincide with the central point of the (spherical) casing 12 , and/or toward the central axis of a casing with a cylindrical shape. If the center of gravity 19 is displaced relative thereto from the central point of the packaging contents 11 , as shown in FIG.
  • the center of gravity 19 may as a result be moved into the central point of the casing 12 , by the packaging contents 11 being arranged inside the casing 12 so as to be displaced as a whole by a corresponding distance.
  • the filling bodies 18 a, b or other connecting means have to be accordingly adapted, in order to secure the packaging contents 11 in the new position. If the position of the center of gravity 19 is known in advance, the filling bodies 18 a, b may be accordingly configured. With a retrospective filling of filling material this adaptation takes place automatically.
  • a further possibility of producing a packaging unit in the form of a rolling body according to FIG. 6 is to encase the packaging contents 11 with a one-piece casing 22 , by for example the packaging contents 11 being introduced into a corresponding spherical hollow shape and then being encased by a suitable material.
  • the packaging contents 11 may be surrounded by a separating layer 24 .
  • the packaging unit 21 thus formed may be provided externally with a robust top layer 23 , which facilitates the rolling process and as a whole protects the packaging unit 21 .
  • the casing 22 may, for example, consist of foamed material such as styropor or the like which is introduced into the hollow shape and solidified there. Also, in this case a correction and/or displacement of the center of gravity 19 may naturally be undertaken.
  • spherical portions 26 a - d may be adhesively bonded thereto and additionally or alternatively may be held together by annular securing elements circulating externally, such as hoops or strips or films.
  • the application of film may be used to correct an eccentric position of the center of gravity 19 of the packaging contents 11 .
  • FIG. 8 the essential steps of a corresponding method are shown. Proceeding from the packaging contents 11 ( FIG. 8( a )), according to a method known per se (see for example the publications U.S. Pat. No. 5,301,544 A or WO 03019122 A1) the center of gravity 19 of the packaging contents 11 is initially determined ( FIG. 8( b )).
  • FIG. 9 shows an exemplary embodiment of a packaging unit 30 in which the packaging contents 11 extend in a longitudinal direction, sufficiently far transversely through the casing 31 comprising two casing segments 31 a and 31 b that it directly engages in the casing 31 with its end arranged in the longitudinal direction.
  • corresponding recesses 32 a and 32 b are provided in the casing 31 by which the casing segments 31 a and 31 b encompass and hold the packaging contents 11 . Filling the remaining spaces between the packaging contents 11 and the casing 31 is not absolutely necessary here but may be advisable for reasons of stability.
  • FIG. 10 It is also conceivable according to FIG. 10 to provide a packaging unit 33 in which a one-piece casing 34 is present which contains a receiver space 35 which is able to be guided from an open side with the packaging contents.
  • the connection between the packaging contents, not shown in FIG. 10 , and the casing 34 is facilitated by finger-shaped adapter elements 36 which are able to be bent in a flexible manner and which protrude into the receiver space 35 .
  • the opening in the sleeve 34 may be closed by a visor 37 which is pivotable about an axis ( FIG. 10( a )) and which is pivoted up for loading the casing 34 with the packaging contents ( FIG. 10( b )).
  • the visor 37 is shaped and attached such that in the closed state it completes the missing part of the spherical hollow 34 .
  • all previously described spherical packaging units may be rolled in a simple manner by means of gravitational force in an inclined groove 38 which is designed accordingly and based on the cross-sectional contour, in order to be stored or removed from storage, for example. It goes without saying that a tube with a corresponding internal diameter may be used instead of the groove 38 .
  • FIG. 11 A further exemplary embodiment of a packaging unit according to the invention is shown in FIG. 11 .
  • the packaging unit 40 shown there is once again made up of a casing 39 and packaging contents 11 .
  • the casing 39 consists of two casing segments 39 a, b which are connected together by suitable closure devices 41 a, b in an interlocking and releasable manner.
  • the packaging contents 11 in this case are mounted in a manner which is substantially fixed and secure against impact within the casing 39 by means of a flake-type filling material 42 .
  • the filling material 42 preferably comprises flakes or chips of irregular shape and made of plastics or a biodegradable material, such as are known for example from packaging technology, and which become trapped and make movement practically impossible.
  • the filling material 42 may be poured or blown into the open casing 39 in a simple manner.
  • a tag in particular an RFID element or RFID tag 43
  • RFID element or RFID tag may be attached outside or inside to the casing 39 , said RFID element or RFID tag being able to be read by corresponding wirelessly operating means.
  • a barcode 50 may be provided. Both elements contain information about the packaging contents 11 which enable clear identification of the packaging contents 11 .
  • Other types of codes applied such as for example matrix codes, color codes, numerical codes, thermal codes or holograms, are also conceivable as information or identification means or as a safety feature. All of these means may be read optically, magnetically or by radio and namely either as passive means which are scanned externally or as active means which in turn transmit information.
  • the packaging unit may also be provided with a separate intelligent system, for example in the form of electronic means for data or signal processing, for example by a microprocessor and corresponding data storage.
  • Associated transmitting and receiving devices in this case may exchange signals wirelessly with the surroundings via antenna elements attached to the outer face. It is also conceivable, however, to arrange at specific points on the casing electrical contacts which are accessible from the outside and via which internal circuits may be accessed.
  • internal energy storage devices and/or energy converters may be provided, said energy storage devices and/or energy converters storing mechanical energy (spring, gas pressure), thermal energy (heat accumulator) or electromagnetic energy (capacitor, battery, accumulator, coil, etc.) or producing energy (piezoelectric converter, inductive converter, etc.).
  • locating means within the packaging unit, by means of which the location of the unit may be determined and tracked at any time.
  • a device for determining the location by means of a GPS system or comparable systems are considered here.
  • permanent magnets may be arranged within the packaging unit, said magnets being scanned externally or being able to trigger switching processes when passing specific locations.
  • FIG. 12 A further exemplary embodiment of a packaging unit according to the invention is shown in FIG. 12 .
  • the packaging unit 44 shown there comprises a casing 45 with an interior 46 delimited by a cylindrical inner wall 49 for receiving the packaging contents (not shown).
