Definitions
- the invention relates to a stackable packaging unit according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a packaging unit is described in US-A-4,989,731. It has a base part, a central part defining the peripheral walls of the container and a cover part, the base part and cover part representing different molded parts. Bottom part and cover part can therefore not be stacked compactly mixed.
- WO-A-93/24380 shows a folding box with a pallet-like lower part and a different upper part.
- DE-A-21 65 676 also shows stackable packaging units with a central part, a lower part and an upper part, feet provided on the lower part and upper part pointing outwards when the packaging unit is assembled.
- the present invention is intended to create a stackable packaging unit in which the pallet, edge wall arrangement and lid can be stacked, but with the packaging unit set up, a packaging unit is positively positioned on the packaging unit underneath with simple means.
- a pallet is also used as the lid, which has the same geometry as the lower pallet.
- the upper and lower end parts of the packaging unit can be stacked together indiscriminately and transported back together to the starting point.
- the storage and the manufacturing costs for the elements of the packaging unit are simplified, since apart from the edge wall arrangement only one further element is required, which at one time fulfills the function of the pallet and at other times the function of a positioning cover. Since the stackable pallets have a high mechanical strength with low weight due to their shape, there is also a weight saving compared to conventional lids, which are simply sections of clamping plates.
- Packaging units according to the invention stacked one on top of the other are also spaced so far that the fork of a forklift can be moved quickly between the feet of a packaging unit without the fork having to be aligned very precisely in the vertical direction. Nevertheless, it is ensured that the pallets can be transported back after being dismantled, packed tightly for reuse.
- the development of the invention according to claim 5 is advantageous in terms of easy detection of the relative position of pallets lying one above the other.
- FIG. 1 four stacked packaging units 10-1 to 10-4 are shown, each consisting of a support pallet 12, an edge wall arrangement 14 made of corrugated cardboard and a lid pallet 16.
- the edge wall arrangement 14 has vertical longitudinal walls 14A and, for this purpose, vertical vertical side walls 14B in the unfolded state.
- the side walls 14A and 14B are hinged at the vertical abutting edges by fold lines.
- the products are fixed to the support pallets 12 by first tensioning straps, not shown, which extend through corresponding edge cutouts in the edge wall arrangement 14 or through recesses 18 in the support pallets 12, as shown in FIG. 3.
- the carrier pallets 12 and the lid pallets 16 are identical molded parts made of pressed chipboard. As can be seen from FIG. 3, radial stiffening beads 20 running in the plate plane, together with stiffening beads 22 adjacent to the edge of the pallet, ensure high load-bearing capacity and torsional strength of the pallets with only a small wall thickness overall.
- the longitudinal center plane of a pallet with 24, the transverse center plane with 26 is designated.
- Three feet 28L, 30L and 32L lying to the left of the longitudinal center plane and three feet 28R, 30R, 32R lying to the right of the longitudinal center plane 24 are molded into the pallet.
- the tops of these provide foot mounts 34L, 36L, 38L and 34R, 36R, 38R.
- the feet 28 to 32 and thus also the foot receptacles 34 to 38 have the shape of a hipped roof with main surfaces 40, 42 and end surfaces 44, 46. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the inner main surfaces 40 each have a shoulder 48.
- the feet 28L and 28R are offset in the outward direction by a distance X from the reference points 50L and 50R, while the feet 32L and 32R are inward at the other end of the pallet by the same distance X from the reference points 54L and 54R are offset.
- the center foot 30L is offset from the comparison point 52L, the center foot 30R is offset from the comparison point 52R inwards.
- the pallets with one are on one of the transverse edges provided as a marking edge recess 56. Instead or in addition, you can also mark the corresponding pallet edge section with a layer of paint.
- pallets of the geometry shown in FIG. 3 are stacked one above the other in such a way that their edge recesses 56 are aligned, their feet and foot receptacles are also aligned, so that the pallets are stacked at a short distance.
- a corresponding pallet stack is shown in FIG. 2, Z2 denoting the large engagement distance of the feet in the foot mounts underneath. The distance between successive pallets is correspondingly small.
- the taper of the feet and the material thickness of the pallets is adjusted so that even with the aligned alignment of the edge recesses 56, ie in a stack of identically aligned pallets, as shown in Figure 2, there is a distance between successive pallets that is just yet introducing the fork of a forklift enables. In practice, this distance is about 15 mm. In this way it is also possible, with special care, to separate with the forklift those packaging units in which a lid pallet or a carrier pallet was accidentally installed in the wrong orientation.
- the upper sides of the pallets 12 and 16 have a groove 58, which is seen at the edge of the pallet in order to receive lower ends of an edge wall arrangement 14.
- the undersides have an aligned groove 60 for receiving upper ends of an edge wall arrangement 14
- the walls of the grooves 58, 60 are slightly inclined to facilitate the introduction of the corrugated cardboard material.
- the diagrammatically represented exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 5 differs from that according to FIGS. 3 and 4 in that the distance X is chosen so large that the shoulder 48 lies outside the feet 28 to 32 and the bottom of separate flat foot mounts 62L, 62R, 64L, 64R, 66L and 66R forms.
- the pairs of foot receptacles 62L, 62R etc. would not overlap, nor would the pairs of feet 28L, 28R etc. overlap. However, there is an overlap between one foot and one Foot intake, e.g. 28L and 62R.
- pallet feet 28L, 28R and 32L and 32R which are offset somewhat inwards from the corners, are provided. Their tops again form foot mounts 34L, 34R and 38L, 38R, in which Feet of an overlying pallet can largely be accommodated, so that the pallets can be stacked into a stack again, as shown in FIG.
- FIG. 6 Further flat foot receptacles 62L, 62R, 64L, 64R are again formed in the top of the pallets and can accommodate a lowermost section of feet 28 and 32 when the upper pallet is rotated through 90 °.
- the foot mounts 52 and 64 are flat compared to the foot mounts 34 and 38.
- similar packaging units as shown in Figure 1 are assembled. For stacking the different packaging units on top of each other, they are rotated by 90 °, so that larger gaps are again obtained between the packaging units, into which the forks of a forklift can be easily inserted.
- foot mounts 62 and 64 from FIG. 6 can also be provided at a smaller angular distance, but in larger numbers.
- the packaging units 10-i are then stacked one above the other at these smaller angles, so that a helical stack is obtained.
- the assembled packaging unit encloses a large volume and can also accommodate heavy objects. Their only two different elements (pallet, edge wall arrangement) are easily stackable and compact for reuse to send back.
- the goods received are particularly well protected against falling objects, since the cover part is also a pallet and therefore has high mechanical strength.
- the high mechanical strength of the lid part allows a large number of packaging units to be stacked on top of one another, which in practice can weigh approx. 1t with content.
- no stiffening in the form of support beams or the like need be provided in the interior of the packaging unit in order to achieve such stacking properties.
- the full interior is available to the user.
- the gaps between stacked packaging units, in which forklift tines engage for storage and retrieval or for transport, are bounded by hard material at the top and bottom, namely by a pallet.
- packaging units that include a pallet and a box attached to it the risk of damage to the packaging is reduced, which exists when the forklift tines are not set exactly vertically on the underside of the pallet or when the fork guide is tilted, a pressure on the top of the is exercised under the packaging unit to be moved.
- Packaging units damaged in this way give the consumer an unfavorable result Image of the manufacturer and also lead to concerns about invisible transport damage.
- edge wall arrangement Due to the mechanically firm upper closure of the packaging unit and the greatly reduced risk of even visually disadvantageous damage to the edge wall arrangement, which is often made of corrugated cardboard in practice, the edge wall arrangement can also be reused more frequently. Edge wall arrangements, which are no longer optically perfect, are largely not accepted with regard to the company image.
- the packaging unit according to the invention also consists of elements which, in practice (pressboard pallets and corrugated cardboard edge wall arrangement) with Euro pallet dimensions and approximately 1m in height, all weigh only about 5 to 10 kg in size and are therefore easy to move by hand without aids.
- the pallets and the edge wall arrangement are each inexpensive parts. In the event of any damage, they can also be easily recycled or disposed of themselves.
- the pallets were molded parts made of pressboard material (machined residual wood bound by condensed urea resin), it is understood that the advantages described with regard to the stacking of the packaging units and the pallets can be obtained equally if the pallets are made of another resistant one Material e.g. Sheet metal can be made of steel or aluminum.
- Honeycomb cardboard material or metal, wood or plastic honeycomb material can also be used for the edge wall arrangement instead of single or multi-layer corrugated cardboard. It is only important that the edge wall material has sufficient kink resistance and weather resistance.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine stapelbare Verpackungseinheit gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a stackable packaging unit according to the preamble of
Eine derartige Verpackungseinheit ist in der US-A-4 989 731 beschrieben. Sie hat ein Bodenteil, ein die Umfangswände des Behälters vorgebendes Mittelteil und ein Deckelteil, wobei Bodenteil und Deckelteil unterschiedliche Formteile darstellen. Bodenteil und Deckelteil lassen sich somit nicht gemischt kompakt stapeln.Such a packaging unit is described in US-A-4,989,731. It has a base part, a central part defining the peripheral walls of the container and a cover part, the base part and cover part representing different molded parts. Bottom part and cover part can therefore not be stacked compactly mixed.
Auch in der US-A-4 480 748 ist eine Verpackungseinheit offenbart, welche die im Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 aufgeführten Merkmale zeigt, wobei Unterteil und Oberteil als identische Formteile ausgebildet sind, so daß sie gemischt gestapelt werden können. Bei dieser bekannten Verpackungseinheit müssen aber die an Unterteil und Oberteil angeformten Fußabschnitte jeweils bei zusammengebauter Verpackungseinheit nach außen weisen.Also in US-A-4 480 748 a packaging unit is disclosed which shows the features listed in the preamble of
Ähnliche Verpackungseinheiten sind aus der US-A-4 550 830 und der US-A-4 580 680 bekannt.Similar packaging units are known from US-A-4,550,830 and US-A-4,580,680.
Die WO-A-93/24380 zeigt eine Faltkiste mit einem palettenähnlichen Unterteil und einem hiervon verschiedenen Oberteil.WO-A-93/24380 shows a folding box with a pallet-like lower part and a different upper part.
Auch die DE-A-21 65 676 zeigt stapelbare Verpackungseinheiten mit einem Mittelteil, einem Unterteil und einem Oberteil, wobei bei Zusammengebauter Verpackungseinheit am Unterteil und Oberteil vorgesehene Füße nach außen weisen.DE-A-21 65 676 also shows stackable packaging units with a central part, a lower part and an upper part, feet provided on the lower part and upper part pointing outwards when the packaging unit is assembled.
Durch die vorliegende Erfindung soll eine stapelbare Verpackungeinheit geschaffen werden, bei welcher Palette, Randwandanordnung und Deckel stapelbar sind, jedoch bei aufgebauter Verpackungseinheit eine Zwangspositionierung einer Verpackungseinheit auf der darunterliegenden Verpackungseinheit mit einfachen Mitteln erhalten wird.The present invention is intended to create a stackable packaging unit in which the pallet, edge wall arrangement and lid can be stacked, but with the packaging unit set up, a packaging unit is positively positioned on the packaging unit underneath with simple means.
Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine stapelbare Verpackungseinheit gemäß Anspruch 1.This object is achieved according to the invention by a stackable packaging unit according to
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackungseinheit, wird als Deckel ebenfalls eine Palette verwendet, die gleiche Geometrie hat wie die untere Palette. Auf diese Weise lassen sich die oberen und unteren Endteile der Verpackungseinheit unterschiedslos zusammenstapeln und gemeinsam zum Ausgangsort zurücktransportieren. Die Lagerhaltung und die Herstellkosten für die Elemente der Verpackungseinheit sind vereinfacht, da man abgesehen von der Randwandanordnung nur ein einziges weiteres Element benötigt, welches einmal die Funktion der Palette, das andere Mal die Funktion eines positionierenden Deckels erfüllt. Da die stapelbaren Paletten aufgrund ihrer Formgebung eine hohe mechanische Festigkeit bei niederem Gewicht aufweisen, erhält man auch eine Gewichtseinsparung gegebenüber herkömmlichen Deckeln, die einfach Abschnitte von Preßspannplatten sind.In the packaging unit according to the invention, a pallet is also used as the lid, which has the same geometry as the lower pallet. In this way, the upper and lower end parts of the packaging unit can be stacked together indiscriminately and transported back together to the starting point. The storage and the manufacturing costs for the elements of the packaging unit are simplified, since apart from the edge wall arrangement only one further element is required, which at one time fulfills the function of the pallet and at other times the function of a positioning cover. Since the stackable pallets have a high mechanical strength with low weight due to their shape, there is also a weight saving compared to conventional lids, which are simply sections of clamping plates.
Erfindungsgemäße übereinander gestapelte Verpackungseinheiten sind auch soweit beabstandet, daß die Gabel eines Gabelstaplers rasch zwischen die Füße einer Verpackungseinheit bewegt werden kann, ohne daß hierzu die Gabel in vertikaler Richtung sehr präzise ausgefluchtet werden müßte. Trotzdem ist gewährleistet, daß die Paletten nach Zerlegen der Packungseinheit dicht gestapelt für eine Wiederverwendung zurücktransportiert werden können.Packaging units according to the invention stacked one on top of the other are also spaced so far that the fork of a forklift can be moved quickly between the feet of a packaging unit without the fork having to be aligned very precisely in the vertical direction. Nevertheless, it is ensured that the pallets can be transported back after being dismantled, packed tightly for reuse.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Mit der Weiterbildung der Erfindung gemäß Anspruch 2 ist ein sicheres Positionieren und Festlegen der Randwandanordnung bei deren unterem bzw. oberem Ende erhalten.With the development of the invention according to claim 2, a safe positioning and fixing of the edge wall arrangement is obtained at its lower or upper end.
Gemäß Anspruch 3 und 4 lassen sich auf einfache Weise und optisch gut erkennbar Relativpositionen zwischen aufeinanderfolgenden Paletten realisieren, in welchen die Füße der oberen Palette unterschiedlich weit in die Fußaufnahmen der darunter liegenden Palette eingreifen.According to claims 3 and 4, relative positions between successive pallets can be realized in a simple and optically recognizable manner, in which the feet of the upper pallet engage to different degrees in the foot receptacles of the pallet below.
Die Weiterbildung der Erfindung gemäß Anspruch 5 ist im Hinblick auf ein einfaches Erkennen der Relativlage übereinanderliegender Paletten von Vorteil.The development of the invention according to claim 5 is advantageous in terms of easy detection of the relative position of pallets lying one above the other.

In Figur 1 sind vier übereinandergestapelte Verpackungseinheiten 10-1 bis 10-4 wiedergegeben, die jeweils aus einer Tragpalette 12, einer aus Wellpappe gefertigten Randwandanordnung 14 und einer Deckelpalette 16 bestehen. Die Randwandanordnung 14 hat vertikale Längswände 14A und hierzu im aufgefalteten Zustand senkrechte vertikale Seitenwände 14B. Die Seitenwände 14A und 14B sind an den vertikalen Stoßkanten über Faltlinien gelenkig verbunden.In Figure 1, four stacked packaging units 10-1 to 10-4 are shown, each consisting of a
Im Inneren der Verpackungseinheiten 10-i (i = 1, 2, 3, 4) sind hier nicht näher dargestellte Produkte angeordnet, z.B. Kühlschränke, Herde, Waschmaschinen usw. Die Produkte sind durch erste, nicht wiedergegebene Spannbänder an den Tragpaletten 12 festgelegt, die sich durch entsprechende Randausschnitte der Randwandanordnung 14 oder durch Ausnehmungen 18 der Tragpaletten 12 hindurcherstrecken, wie sie in Figur 3 wiedergegeben sind.Products not shown here are arranged inside the packaging units 10-i (i = 1, 2, 3, 4), e.g. Refrigerators, stoves, washing machines, etc. The products are fixed to the
Die Tragpaletten 12 und die Deckelpaletten 16 sind identische Formteile aus gepreßtem Spanholz. Wie aus Figur 3 ersichtlich, sorgen in der Plattenebene verlaufende radiale Versteifungssicken 20 zusammen mit dem Palettenrand benachbarten Versteifungssicken 22 für hohe Tragkraft und Verwindungsfestigkeit der Paletten bei insgesamt nur geringer Wandstärke.The
In Figur 3 ist die Längsmittelebene einer Palette mit 24, die Quermittelebene mit 26 bezeichnet. In die Palette sind drei links der Längsmittelebene liegende Füße 28L, 30L und 32L sowie drei rechts der Längsmittelebene 24 liegende Füße 28R, 30R, 32R eingeformt. Deren Oberseiten geben Fußaufnahmen 34L, 36L, 38L bzw. 34R, 36R, 38R vor.In Figure 3, the longitudinal center plane of a pallet with 24, the transverse center plane with 26 is designated. Three
Die Füße 28 bis 32 und damit auch die Fußaufnahmen 34 bis 38 haben grob gesprochen die Form eines eine Stufe aufweisenden Walmdaches mit Hauptflächen 40, 42 und Endflächen 44, 46. Wie aus Figur 4 ersichtlich, haben die innenliegenden Hauptflächen 40 jeweils einen Absatz 48.Roughly speaking, the
Die somit in sich asymmetrischen Füße 28 bis 32 und Fußaufnahmen 34 bis 38 sind nun selbst wieder an Stellen der Palette angeordnet, die bezogen auf die Längsmittelebene 24 bzw. die senkrecht auf der Zeichenebene von Figur 3 stehende Mittenachse der Palette asymmetrisch sind. In Figur 3 sind Punkte, welche symmetrische Vergleichslagen für die Füße 28 bis 32 bzw. die Fußaufnahmen 34 bis 38 kennzeichnen, mit 50L, 52L und 54L bzw. 50R, 52R, 54R bezeichnet.The
Wie aus Figur 3 ersichtlich, sind die Füße 28L und 28R um eine Strecke X von der Referenzpunkten 50L und 50R in Auswärtsrichtung versetzt angeordnet, während die Füße 32L und 32R beim anderen Palettenende um die gleiche Strecke X von den Referenzpunkten 54L bzw. 54R nach innen versetzt sind. Der mittlere Fuß 30L ist vom Vergleichspunkt 52L nach außen versetzt, der mittlere Fuß 30R vom Vergleichspunkt 52R nach innen versetzt.As can be seen from FIG. 3, the
An einer der Querkanten sind die Paletten mit einer als Markierung dienenden Randausnehmung 56 versehen. Statt dessen oder zusätzlich kann man auch den entsprechenden Paletten-Randabschnitt durch eine Farbschicht markieren.The pallets with one are on one of the transverse edges provided as a marking edge recess 56. Instead or in addition, you can also mark the corresponding pallet edge section with a layer of paint.
Stapelt man Paletten der in Figur 3 gezeigten Geometrie so übereinander, daß ihre Randausnehmungen 56 fluchten, fluchten auch ihre Füße und Fußaufnahmen, so daß die Paletten unter geringem Abstand gestapelt werden. Ein entsprechender Palettenstapel ist in Figur 2 wiedergegeben, wobei Z2 die große Eingreifstrecke der Füße in die darunterliegenden Fußaufnahmen bezeichnet. Entsprechend klein ist der Abstand aufeinanderfolgender Paletten.If pallets of the geometry shown in FIG. 3 are stacked one above the other in such a way that their edge recesses 56 are aligned, their feet and foot receptacles are also aligned, so that the pallets are stacked at a short distance. A corresponding pallet stack is shown in FIG. 2, Z2 denoting the large engagement distance of the feet in the foot mounts underneath. The distance between successive pallets is correspondingly small.
Stapelt man Paletten dagegen so übereinander, daß eine mit einer Randausnehmung 56 versehene Seitenkante mit einer ausnehmungsfreien Seitenkante fluchtet (d.h. ist die obere Palette um 180° gegenüber der unteren Palette verdreht), so stehen die Füße der darüberliegenden Palette gerade auf den Absätzen 48 der darunterliegenden Palette, d.h. man hat die in Figur 4 gezeigten Verhältnisse. Diese Beziehung liegt zwischen den Tragpaletten 12 und den Deckelpaletten 16 der in Figur 1 gezeigten Verpackungseinheiten 10 vor. Z1 bezeichnet die kleine Eingreifstrecke der Füße in die darunterliegenden Fußaufnahmen. Entsprechend erhält man einen großen Abstand zwischen den Deckelpaletten 16 und den darüberliegenden Tragpaletten 12 der nächsten Verpackungseinheit.If, on the other hand, pallets are stacked on top of one another in such a way that a side edge provided with an
Vorzugsweise ist die Konizität der Füße und die Materialstärke der Paletten so angepaßt, daß man auch bei fluchtender Ausrichtung der Randausnehmungen 56, d.h. in einem Stapel gleich ausgerichteter Paletten, wie er in Figur 2 gezeigt ist, einen Abstand zwischen aufeinanderfolgenden Paletten hat, der gerade noch das Einführen der Gabel eines Gabelstaplers ermöglicht. In der Praxis beträgt dieser Abstand etwa 15 mm. Auf diese Weise ist es auch möglich, unter Aufwendung besonderer Aufmerksamkeit solche Verpackungseinheiten noch mit dem Gabelstapler zu trennen, bei denen eine Deckelpalette oder eine Tragpalette versehentlich in falscher Ausrichtung montiert wurde.Preferably, the taper of the feet and the material thickness of the pallets is adjusted so that even with the aligned alignment of the edge recesses 56, ie in a stack of identically aligned pallets, as shown in Figure 2, there is a distance between successive pallets that is just yet introducing the fork of a forklift enables. In practice, this distance is about 15 mm. In this way it is also possible, with special care, to separate with the forklift those packaging units in which a lid pallet or a carrier pallet was accidentally installed in the wrong orientation.
Wie aus Figur 3 und 4 ersichtlich, haben die Oberseiten der Paletten 12 und 16 eine in Aufsicht gesehen beim Palettenrand verlaufende Nut 58 zur Aufnahme von unteren Enden einer Randwandanordnung 14. Die Unterseiten haben eine hiermit fluchtende Nut 60 zur Aufnahme von oberen Enden einer Randwandanordnung 14. Die Wänder der Nuten 58, 60 sind etwas schräg gestellt, um das Einführen des Wellpappenmateriales zu erleichtern.As can be seen from FIGS. 3 and 4, the upper sides of the
Das schematisch wiedergegebene Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 5 unterscheidet sich von demjenigen nach Figur 3 und 4 dadurch, daß die Strecke X so groß gewählt ist, daß der Absatz 48 außerhalb der Füße 28 bis 32 liegt und den Boden separater flacher Fußaufnahmen 62L, 62R, 64L, 64R, 66L und 66R bildet.The diagrammatically represented exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 5 differs from that according to FIGS. 3 and 4 in that the distance X is chosen so large that the
Würde man die Palette nach Figur 5 an der Längsmittelebene 24 zusammenfalten, so überlappten sich die Paare von Fußaufnahmen 62L, 62R usw. nicht, auch nicht die Paare von Füßen 28L, 28R usw.. Man hat jedoch eine Überlappung zwischen jeweils einem Fuß und einer Fußaufnahme, z.B. 28L und 62R.If one were to fold the pallet according to FIG. 5 at the
Beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 6 sind vier etwas von den Ecken nach innen versetzte Palettenfüße 28L, 28R und 32L sowie 32R vorgesehen. Deren Oberseiten bilden wieder Fußaufnahmen 34L, 34R und 38L, 38R, in welche Füße einer darüberliegenden Palette weitgehend Aufnahme finden können, so daß die Paletten wieder zu einem Stapel geschichtet werden können, wie er in Figur 2 gezeigt ist.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 6, four
In die Oberseite der Paletten sind wieder weitere flache Fußaufnahmen 62L, 62R, 64L, 64R eingeformt, die einen untersten Abschnitt der Füße 28 und 32 aufnehmen können, wenn die obere Palette um 90° gedreht wird. Die Fußaufnahmen 52 und 64 sind verglichen mit den Fußaufnahmen 34 und 38 flach. Unter Verwendung der in Figur 6 gezeigten Paletten werden ähnliche Verpackungseinheiten zusammengebaut, wie sie in Figur 1 gezeigt sind. Zum Übereinanderstapeln der verschiedenen Verpackungseinheiten werden diese aber jeweils um 90° gedreht, so daß man zwischen den Verpackungseinheiten wieder größere Zwischenräume erhält, in welche die Gabeln eines Gabelstaplers leicht eingeführt werden können.Further
Es versteht sich, daß man flache weitere Fußaufnahmen wie die Fußaufnahmen 62 und 64 von Figur 6 auch unter kleinerem Winkelabstand, dafür in größerer Anzahl vorsehen kann. Die Verpackungseinheiten 10-i werden dann um diese kleineren Winkel gegeneinander versetzt übereinandergestapelt, so daß man einen schraubenförmigen Stapel erhält.It goes without saying that further flat foot mounts such as foot mounts 62 and 64 from FIG. 6 can also be provided at a smaller angular distance, but in larger numbers. The packaging units 10-i are then stacked one above the other at these smaller angles, so that a helical stack is obtained.
Aus der obenstehenden Beschreibung von Ausführungsbeispielen werden folgende Eigenschaften der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackungseinheit deutlich:The following properties of the packaging unit according to the invention become clear from the above description of exemplary embodiments:
Die aufgebaute Verpackungseinheit umschließt ein großes Volumen und kann auch schwere Gegenstände aufnehmen. Ihre nur zwei verschiedenen Elemente (Palette, Randwandanordnung) sind aber für sich einfach stapelbar und kompakt zur Wiederverwendung zurückzusenden.The assembled packaging unit encloses a large volume and can also accommodate heavy objects. Their only two different elements (pallet, edge wall arrangement) are easily stackable and compact for reuse to send back.
Da Bodenteil und Deckelteil identisch sind, ist die Lagerhaltung vereinfacht; durch die höheren Stückzahlen ist ein niedriger Einzelpreis für dieses Teil möglich.Since the base part and cover part are identical, the storage is simplified; due to the higher quantities, a lower unit price for this part is possible.
Die aufgenommenen Güter sind insbesondere auch gegen fallende Gegenstände gut geschützt, da das Deckelteil ebenfalls eine Palette ist und daher hohe mechanische Festigkeit aufweist.The goods received are particularly well protected against falling objects, since the cover part is also a pallet and therefore has high mechanical strength.
Die hohe mechanische Festigkeit des Decktelteiles (gleich gut wie die der Tragpalette) erlaubt ein gefahrloses Übereinanderstapeln einer größeren Anzahl von Verpackungseinheiten, die in der Praxis mit Inhalt ca. 1t wiegen können. Anders als bei Karton-Deckelteile aufweisenden Verpackungseinheiten brauchen zur Erzielung solcher Stapeleigenschaften im Inneren der Verpackungseinheit keinerlei Versteifungen in Form von Stützbalken oder dgl. vorgesehen zu werden. Der volle Innenraum steht für den Benutzer zur Verfügung.The high mechanical strength of the lid part (just as good as that of the carrying pallet) allows a large number of packaging units to be stacked on top of one another, which in practice can weigh approx. 1t with content. In contrast to packaging units with cardboard cover parts, no stiffening in the form of support beams or the like need be provided in the interior of the packaging unit in order to achieve such stacking properties. The full interior is available to the user.
Die Zwischenräume zwischen übereinandergestapelten Verpackungseinheiten, in welche Gabelstaplerzinken zum Ein- und Auslagern oder zum Transportieren eingreifen, sind nach oben und nach unten durch hartes Material begrenzt, nämlich jeweils durch eine Palette. Damit ist gegenüber Verpackungseinheiten, die eine Palette und einen auf dieser angebrachten Karton umfassen, die Gefahr einer Beschädigung der Verpackung herabgesetzt, die dort besteht, wenn die Gabelstaplerzinken nicht exakt vertikal auf die Palettenunterseite eingestellt werden oder beim Kippen der Gabelführung ein Druck auf die Oberseite der unter der zu bewegenden Verpackungseinheit liegenden Verpackungseinheit ausgeübt wird. Derart beschädigte Verpackungseinheiten geben beim Verbraucher ein ungünstiges Bild des Herstellers ab und führen auch zu Besorgnis bezüglich nicht sichtbarer Transportschäden.The gaps between stacked packaging units, in which forklift tines engage for storage and retrieval or for transport, are bounded by hard material at the top and bottom, namely by a pallet. Compared to packaging units that include a pallet and a box attached to it, the risk of damage to the packaging is reduced, which exists when the forklift tines are not set exactly vertically on the underside of the pallet or when the fork guide is tilted, a pressure on the top of the is exercised under the packaging unit to be moved. Packaging units damaged in this way give the consumer an unfavorable result Image of the manufacturer and also lead to concerns about invisible transport damage.
Durch den mechanisch festen oberen Abschluß der Verpackungseinheit und die damit stark verminderte Gefahr einer auch nur visuell nachteiligen Beschädigung der in der Praxis oft aus Wellpappe gefertigten Randwandanordnung kann man die Randwandanordnung auch häufiger wiederverwenden. Optisch nicht mehr einwandfreie Randwandanordnungen werden dagegen im Hinblick auf das Firmenimage weitgehend nicht akzeptiert.Due to the mechanically firm upper closure of the packaging unit and the greatly reduced risk of even visually disadvantageous damage to the edge wall arrangement, which is often made of corrugated cardboard in practice, the edge wall arrangement can also be reused more frequently. Edge wall arrangements, which are no longer optically perfect, are largely not accepted with regard to the company image.
Die erfindungsgemäße Verpackungseinheit besteht auch aus Elementen, die in der Praxis (Preßspanpaletten und Wellpappe-Randwandanordnung) bei Europalettenabmessung und etwa 1m Höhe alle größenordnungsmäßig nur ca. 5 bis 10 kg wiegen und somit ohne Hilfmittel einfach von Hand bewegbar sind.The packaging unit according to the invention also consists of elements which, in practice (pressboard pallets and corrugated cardboard edge wall arrangement) with Euro pallet dimensions and approximately 1m in height, all weigh only about 5 to 10 kg in size and are therefore easy to move by hand without aids.
Die Paletten und die Randwandanordnung sind jeweils preisgünstige Teile. Bei etwaiger Beschädigung sind sie zudem jeweils problemlos selbst wieder zu recyclen oder zu entsorgen.The pallets and the edge wall arrangement are each inexpensive parts. In the event of any damage, they can also be easily recycled or disposed of themselves.
Obwohl bei den oben beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispielen die Paletten Formteile aus Preßspanmaterial (zerspantes Restholz gebunden durch auskondensiertes Harnstoffharz) waren, versteht es sich, daß man die bezüglich der Stapelung der Verpackungseinheiten und der Paletten für sich beschriebenen Vorteile gleichermaßen erhält, wenn die Paletten aus einem anderen wiederstandsfähigen Material z.B. Blech aus Stahl oder Aluminium gefertigt werden.Although in the exemplary embodiments described above, the pallets were molded parts made of pressboard material (machined residual wood bound by condensed urea resin), it is understood that the advantages described with regard to the stacking of the packaging units and the pallets can be obtained equally if the pallets are made of another resistant one Material e.g. Sheet metal can be made of steel or aluminum.
Für die Randwandanordnung kann man anstelle von ein- oder mehrlagiger Wellpappe auch Waben-Pappematerial oder Metall-, Holz- oder Kunststoff-Wabenmaterial verwenden. Wichtig ist nur, daß das Randwandmaterial eine ausreichende Knickfestigkeit und Wetterfestigkeit aufweist.Honeycomb cardboard material or metal, wood or plastic honeycomb material can also be used for the edge wall arrangement instead of single or multi-layer corrugated cardboard. It is only important that the edge wall material has sufficient kink resistance and weather resistance.
