Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of transport and the storage of goods. It relates to a packaging body according to the preamble of claim 1 .
  • a complex aspect of this type of store is that generally the last item stored has to be removed from the store again first because the shelves are generally only filled and emptied from one side. If the goods are transported in a state combined to form relatively large units on standardized pallets, such a relatively large unit has to be broken up in order to provide individual examples of the goods for further processing. This leads to additional problems if the units are held together on the pallet by a film being wrapped around said units.
  • the publication JP 2006016044 proposes the provision of a packaging container which can be readily transported, which can retain a packaging article horizontally and which can also improve the pick-up efficiency in a pick-up area.
  • a spherical packaging container is provided with a first container which is a spherical hollow member, a second container which is a spherical hollow member which is received in the first container and which receives an article to be packaged, and a connection means which connect together the first container and the second container with a degree of freedom of two or more axes.
  • a third spherical container which is a spherical hollow member which is received in the first container and which receives the second container; the inner face of the first container and the outer face of the third container are connected to each other at two locations using first connection members which are positioned on a first straight line which extends through the center point of the third container, and the inner face of the third container and the outer face of the second container are connected to each other at two locations using second connection members which are positioned on a second straight line which extends through the center point of the second container and perpendicularly to the first straight line.
  • the spherical packaging container has a spherical shape, an operating force can roll the spherical packaging container for conveying. Accordingly, it is not always necessary to lift the spherical packaging container during conveying and the spherical packaging container can readily be conveyed.
  • a disadvantage of this type of packaging and packaging container is the extraordinarily complex inner structure of the packaging which is not practicable when processing relatively large streams of goods.
  • another disadvantage is the movable storage of the goods or the packaging content in the packaging container which, if the center of gravity of the goods is not precisely at the center of the ball, results in tumbling and rolling movement sequences which cannot be controlled practically.
  • the packaging content is not protected in a manner specific to the content, for example, by sufficient padding or a hermetic seal.
  • the publication U.S. Pat. No. 7,954,661 B2 discloses a transport container which comprises a spherical container and a heat-storing material which is arranged inside the spherical container.
  • the heat-storing material has a space in which an article to be transported can be accommodated. This space is located at the center of the spherical container.
  • the heat-storing material surrounds the article to be transported, living cell cultures, in a spherical manner so that practically the entire heat of the heat-storing material can be used to maintain the temperature of the article to be transported.
  • the spherical shape of the container is selected in order to minimize the outer face which radiates heat and thus to extend the maintenance time for the temperature. A rolling transport is intended to be avoided in this transport container.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,050,438 A discloses a spherical, thin-walled, divided capsule for receiving an article or a plurality of articles.
  • the capsule can be separated without being destroyed, wherein the portions have locking elements which engage with each other and which bring about a stable connection of the portions so that the capsule is suitable for use in automated vending machines.
  • the publication GB 2482476 A describes a thin-walled container having a round cross-section.
  • Two shafts are fitted to the outer face of the container and are aligned in a common axis which is perpendicular to the round cross-section. Lines are fixed to the shafts.
  • the container can be filled and emptied via openings. If the lines are pulled, the container rolls about the common axis.
  • the container may be spherical or cylindrical. The transport is limited to fluids.
  • the publication EP 2583934 A1 sets out a re-usable beer cask having a hollow cask body and a disposable container arranged therein.
  • the cask body is constructed as a rollable barrel.
  • the disposable container expands until it touches the inner face of the cask body.
  • CO 2 which is acted on with pressure is used.
  • the disposable container is replaced after the beer has been completely dispensed.
  • the beer is a shapeless packaging content. Fluids have no shape in principle.
  • the publication CN 201942318 U discloses an intelligent system which is for real-time processing of orders with automatic delivery of goods to customers and which operates with spherical transport containers which each comprise a spherical shell and an insert which is arranged therein and which is adapted to a rectangular, cylindrical or round container which is located in the sphere and which finally receives the actual goods.
  • That system is configured for long transport paths between the goods vendor and the customer receiving the goods via transport tubes and paths which are mostly laid underground in the town and countryside.
  • a packaging body which effectively protects the packaging content and with which a packaging unit can further be readily produced and which can be transported in a readily rolling manner is desirable but unknown from the prior art.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a packaging body which has the desired properties and to set out a method for producing a packaging unit having such a packaging body.

  • the packaging content is, for example, fixed in a positive-locking manner in the packaging body.
  • fixing or “positive-locking fixing” is intended to be understood to be a secure retention of the packaging content relative to the rollable packaging body, wherein a given play between the packaging content and the packaging body may be present in specific embodiments and consequently the movability of the packaging content with respect to the packaging body is limited.
  • Another embodiment of the packaging body is characterized in that it is constructed in several portions, in particular two portions or four portions.
