Definitions

• the invention relates to a packaging element for protecting an object in a rigid or semi-rigid container with a polygonal cross section against impacts.
• the object must also be protected against slipping in the pack, since otherwise positions which are not predetermined can be assumed and which were not taken into account when the packaging was designed.
• spacers for. B. multilayer cardboard blocks between the object and the wall of the container.
• the elasticity of these spacers is usually very low and a shock can only be mitigated to a small extent. If the spacers deform even under load, their reshaping is usually poor. In the event of another impact, the object is then subjected to increased acceleration forces. Therefore, these spacers cannot be used on objects that are at risk of impact. In addition, a large number of corresponding spacers must be kept available for different sizes of an object.
• Another type of packaging is that the space between the object and the wall of the
• the crumpled paper must have special technical properties that have an impact on costs.
• the paper must be moisture-repellent so that it does not become soft after a long period of storage and lose tension.
• the adaptation to different sizes of the object is done by stuffing the gaps. This results in high material consumption for small items, which packed in containers standardized for several sizes.
• the object of the invention is to provide a packaging element for protecting an object in a rigid or semi-rigid container with a polygonal cross section against impacts, which avoids the disadvantages mentioned above.
• the packaging element formed according to claim 1 from a multiply folded template has an elasticity dependent on the material and the type of folding.
• the spring travel provided by the compression of the spring parts reduces the abrupt deceleration of the object during impact.
• the acceleration forces to which the object is exposed consequently decrease.
• the packaging element is capable of regeneration and therefore not only protects once.
• the packaging element can serve both to cushion impacts with a vertical component and to cushion impacts with a horizontal component.
• a packaging element according to claim 2 is preferably used to cushion vertical impacts. For this purpose, it is stuck between the object and the cover of the container. To cushion impacts with a horizontal component, it can be inserted between the object and a side wall of the container.
• the development according to claim 3 discloses a packaging element for special protection against horizontal
• Packaging elements are given a horizontal all-round protection of the object.
• the packaging element can also interact with a packaging element for vertical protection.
• the packaging element according to claim 4 combines the vertical protection with the protection in a horizontal
• Two spring elements enclose the object laterally and one is arranged above.
• a packaging element according to claim 6 can be folded from an H-shaped template, each of the four legs of the H resulting in an initially vertical spring part.
• the two spring parts on each long side of the H form a spring element, which are bent over and enclose an object on the side.
• a packaging element according to claim 7 for achieving horizontal and vertical protection can be produced from a single template.
• the template has the shape of an H, but a fifth and sixth leg is attached between the two long sides, each with two legs.
• the four outer legs are folded into horizontally acting spring parts and folded over the two middle spring parts are folded into vertically acting spring parts. This creates three spring elements.
• the packaging element From a physical point of view, this increases the spring rate of the packaging element and the mutual support of the spring parts before they are fully compressed thus corresponds to a progressive spring behavior.
• the packaging element In order to expand the area of application of the packaging element, it is designed according to the development according to claim 11 so that it can be used in a simple manner for different distances between the object and the wall of the container. In particular, this is the last one
• Section provided, which is set up as a rigid element.
• the set up last section is stabilized by parts folded in from the edge area so that it assumes a U-shaped profile. So that the two folded parts do not buckle under the load, they engage in recesses on the penultimate section.
• the last section preferably has folds in the edge spacing of the slots of the penultimate section in order to facilitate the buckling.
• the packaging element according to the development according to claim 12 completely covers the object in the container and offers additional protection against dirt.
• the length and width of the middle section correspond to the inside dimensions of the container.
• the packaging elements are particularly suitable in the arrangement above the object in the container. They can therefore be regarded as the head part of a multi-part packaging. Due to the deflection under load, they are only suitable as a foot part in special cases, since the object then no longer remains spatially fixed in the container. In order to expand the area of application and to produce suitability both as a head part and as a foot part, the further developments according to claims 13 to 15 provide solutions for fixing the object in a packaging element.
• the development according to claim 13 improves the adaptation of the central part in the case of curved support surfaces of the object to be packaged.
• the middle section points to this
• the object is stabilized by a packaging element developed according to claim 14.
• the middle part has recesses into which the
• stops can be folded out of the central part, which restrict the freedom of movement of the object and spatially define it in the container.
• Claim 16 describes a packaging element suitable as a foot part.
• a packaging element is advantageous, which adapts to the curve, but nevertheless avoids moving the object along the curve. Due to the longitudinal cuts in the packaging element, the object is partially immersed in it and the individual strips lie against the curve. In the environment, however, the packaging element remains unchanged and the remaining straps leave a step, which forms an obstacle to the movement.
• a material such as sheet metal, paper or paper-like material, e.g. B. cardboard, corrugated cardboard or laminates for the production of this packaging element. Corrugated cardboard should preferably be used, which should be folded perpendicular to the direction of the corrugation.
• the object When the object is deflected into an elastic head part of the packaging, the object lifts off the foot part, but falls back again and is picked up again by the foot part within the incised area. The situation before and after the impact does not have to be the same.
• the foot section also fixes the object elsewhere.
• the development according to claim 17 leads to an improvement in the adaptation of the packaging element to the curvature of the object and stabilizes the object in an advantageous manner.

• a packaging element according to claims 1 to 8 is placed between the shut-off valve and the lid or a wall of the container. Since the deformation path provided by the packaging element, here referred to as spring travel, is large, a reduction in the acceleration forces is achieved. The acceleration forces on the object can be reduced to a tenth of the original value.
• the packaging element shown in Fig. 1 consists of a multiple folded template in the form of a strip (1).
• the width b of the strip (1) corresponds to the width of the container into which an object is to be packed.
• the strip (1) consists of a central part (2) of length 1, from the opposite sides of which the legs (3 and 4) extend.
• the leg (3) consists of four Sections (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d), as well as the leg (4) from the sections (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d), which are delimited from one another by dashed lines.
• the first sections (3a, 4a) are longer than half the length 1 and therefore, even before they rest on the middle part, meet at the edges (3a / 3b) and (4a / 4b) during folding.
• the sections (3b, 3c), like the sections (4b, 4c), are either as long as the first sections (3a, 4a) or shorter.
• the last sections (3d, 4d) are the shortest since they are intended for different functions.
• the penultimate sections (3c, 4c) are each provided with two slots (5a, 5b, 6a, 6b), the width of which is greater than the thickness of the template. They extend over one
• the sections (3a, 4a) meet at the folds to form the sections (3b, 4b) and form a first stop of the spring travel when the spring parts are deflected under load.
• the last sections (3d, 4d) overlap.
• This type of folding of the template is the smallest practical design of the packaging element. Further types of folding for adapting the element to objects or containers of different sizes are shown in the following FIGS. 3 and 4. If the last sections (3d, 4d) are folded over, this means an enlargement of the spring part, ie a larger distance between the object and the container can be bridged.
• the folds between the sections (3c, 3d; 4c, 4d) can also meet.
• a further enlargement is achieved by placing the last sections (3d, 4d) perpendicular to the central part (2).
• the wings (7a, 7b, 8a, 8b) are folded in until they can engage in the slots (5a, 5b, 6a, 6b).
• the sections (3d, 4d) support each other with their backs.

• spring elements (10, 11) are attached to two opposite sides of a rectangular central part (9).
• Packaging element is designed in the form of a large H.
• the spring elements (10, 11) are folded as described above and then bent outwards at the connection to the central part (9).
• the middle part (9) is either shorter in its width (b ') or its length (l 1 ) than the corresponding size of the container. This is necessary to provide suspension travel.
• the width of the packaging element can be adapted to the respective container by means of a kink on the middle part (9).
• the object protrudes into the packaging element with one end and the spring elements (10, 11) secure this end against lateral impacts. If another packaging element is placed crosswise, all-round protection can be achieved. Horizontal and vertical protection is provided by a packaging element which can be folded into a shape shown in FIG. 7 from a template shown in FIG. 6.
• the middle part (9) is also provided with legs, which when folded together result in a vertically acting spring element (12) in the middle part (9).
• This packaging element can also be combined with the aforementioned. In the simplest way, a universally usable, reusable packaging element is created.

Longitudinal cuts (13a, 13b, 13c) have been made in the middle sections (15, 16), some of which still extend into the areas (14, 17). This creates several bands (18, 19, 20). If the template is made of corrugated cardboard, the undulating lower layer (21) must run in the direction indicated.
