Definitions
- the present invention relates to a packaging made of moulded fibre material for an article, comprising at least one protective member arranged in said packaging, which protective member has a wall which projects from the base of said packaging and has an essentially flat end surface for contact with said article.
- Packaging of this type is generally known in the state of the art. The aim is increasingly to replace plastic foam packaging by paper fibre material. Environmental considerations are the main reason for this. Packaging of this type is, for example, end pieces that are pushed onto electronic equipment, such as, for example, televisions, video recorders and the like. Packaging of this type is also used for containing smaller articles, such as mobile telephones, razors and the like, on at least four sides.
- buffer elements have to be arranged in at least two directions perpendicular to one another. Such buffer elements project from the base of the packaging. If such a packaging is, for example, made in tray form, this means that buffer elements have to be arranged in three mutually perpendicular directions in order to provide protection in the same three directions.
- a buffer element known in the state of the art is of truncated cone construction. It will be understood that it is not possible to form two such truncated cones in directions perpendicular to one another using a simple one-part mould.
- the aim of the present invention is to provide buffer elements which provide a high degree of cushioning and do not give rise to any restrictions with regard to the ease of release of the product.
- said wall comprises a semi-circular wall section with straight wall sections adjoining the latter.
- the straight walls described above are substantially parallel.
- parallel must also be understood to mean the situation in which the walls are at a slight angle to one another in order to allow release.
- a further circular wall section can adjoin the straight section, the curvature of said further circular wall section at the junction with the straight wall section being opposite to the curvature of the semi-circular wall section at the junction with the straight wall section.
- the length of the straight section located between the two oppositely curved wall sections can vary depending on the requirement. In principle, it is possible for the two curved wall sections to adjoin one another directly, so that the straight section is infinitely short.
- said protective members or buffer elements extend essentially perpendicularly to the related wall.
- various protective members can be arranged alongside one another and a U-shaped space is preferably delimited between them.
- the protective elements In order to provide adequate "deformation space" in corner regions, it is proposed to arrange the protective elements not in the corner of two adjoining walls but some distance apart. Preferably, such a distance approximately corresponds to the radius of curvature of the semi-circular wall section.
- the packaging will be made depending on the product to be packed and can, for example, be of tray-shaped construction. In any event it is possible to provide one side thereof with the truncated cone-shaped protective members described above. After all, the problem of not allowing release does not exist in one direction.
- Such complete truncated cone-shaped members are preferably constructed in such a way that the cone angle is relatively small. A cone angle of approximately 7° is preferred. Preferably these cones are not provided with longitudinal seams (approximately parallel to the axis of the cone). It has been found that ideal cushioning characteristics are obtained by this means. If a truncated cone is produced in accordance with these conditions, the cone material will concertina and not knuckle away if it hits an object, for example on falling. The packed product can be better protected as a result.
- Fig. 1 shows a perspective plan view of one embodiment of the packaging according to the invention
- Fig. 2 shows a plan view of the packaging according to Fig. 1 ;
- Fig. 3 shows a side view of the packaging according to Fig. 1.
- FIGs 1 - 3 an example of the packaging according to the invention is indicated in its entirety by 1. It must be understood that such a packaging is merely an example.
- an article 2 that can be packed in the packaging is indicated diagrammatically. For instance, it is possible to provide such an article with such a packaging at both ends.
- an outer packaging can be fitted in order to hold the packaging 1 in place.
- other types of packaging can also be produced using the present invention.
- the packaging shown in the figures is of tray-shaped construction. This packaging is provided with two side walls 3 and opposite end walls 4 and a base wall 5.
- a number of buffer elements are present.
- Semicircular buffer elements are indicated by 7, whilst conical buffer elements are indicated by 8.
- the end wall of conical buffer element 8 is indicated by 13, whilst the end wall of buffer element 7 is indicated by 12.
- This end wall 12 is constructed to bear against the article concerned.
- the straight wall sections extend essentially parallel to one another, provision of course being made to allow release.
- the step 6 shown in the figures has been made because of a very specific construction of the article to be packed. It will be understood that further variations can be made so that optimum protection of the article to be packed is obtained.
- a groove 15 extends at the boundary of each of the buffer elements and the base wall 5.
- the conical buffer element 8 preferably has a cone angle of approximately 4 - 10° and more particularly approximately 7°. It has been found that at this value, on the one hand, optimum release is guaranteed and, on the other hand, the strength is maximum.
