Definitions

  • the invention relates to a receiving and fixing device for receiving and fixing the position of at least one object, a container and a frame comprising such a receiving and fixing device as well as to the use thereof for holding and/or supporting at least one object.
  • Receiving and fixing devices for receiving and fixing the position of at least one object mainly during the transport of the object are known in the state of the art, e.g. in the form of plastic or metal elements, which are formed so as to be adapted to the object and which are inserted in mounting devices or containers and which are fastened therein, so as to receive drives of a vehicle, engine hoods, diverse smaller components of a vehicle or other objects or components, respectively, for example.
  • An individual adaptation of the receiving and fixing device to the respective object, which is to be received, is hereby required, so as to ensure an optimal position fixation during the transport of said object, so that the object is not damaged during the transport.
  • WO 2005/065217 A2 discloses a method and a device for packaging gardening products, in particular cut flowers, for transporting them, wherein one or a plurality of stems are inserted into a flexible foam block, which consists of a material, which has a low density and exerts a low compression force and which is arranged in a container opening, so that the foam block is compressed.
  • the compression of the foam leads to a water-tight seal around every stem, so that a leakage of water or other liquids, respectively, out of the interior of the container can be prevented during shipping of the gardening products.
  • a rubber-based foam, a vinyl nitrile foam, a polyurethane-based foam as well as a polyethylene-based foam are disclosed as foam material in this publication of the state of the art.
  • a mattress or mattress-like device is further known from WO 03/037145 A1, the firmness of which can be adjusted by the user.
  • a polyurethane foam is arranged in the core of the mattress-like device for this purpose within an air-tight casing chamber, wherein a varying low pressure is applied to it.
  • the stiffness of the mattress-like device can be adjusted through this, measured by the impression force deflection or the return force as well as the density.
  • the instant invention is now based on the task of providing a receiving and fixing device for receiving and fixing the position of at least one object, which can be used variably for a variety of objects and which can be adapted thereto such that an optimal protection of the objects can be ensured within the receiving and fixing device and/or a container, support frames or mounting devices, respectively.
  • the task for a receiving and fixing device for receiving and fixing the position of at least one object is solved in that the receiving and fixing device encompasses at least one receiving section for receiving the at least one object, which at least partially consists of a resilient, contour-enclosing, shape-adaptive and impact-damping material. Further developments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.
  • a receiving and fixing device for receiving and fixing the position of at least one object, which independently adapts to any shape of the object due to the use of a resilient, contour-enclosing and shape-adaptive material.
  • the term “contour-enclosing” is to be understood such that the material attaches to the contour of the object when in contact with the object, thus encloses it in a form-locking manner.
  • the material in the contact area hereby adapts completely to the shape of the object, is thus shape-adaptive. It is thus no longer necessary to provide for a receiving and fixing device, which is adapted to the respective shape of an object, which is to be received in the receiving and fixing device.
  • the receiving and fixing device adapts independently to variable shapes of the object, which is supported on it or which is attached to it. Due to the resilience of the material, it initially gives way in response to placing an object on it or against it, yet thereby attaches to the contour of the object, wherein the material of the receiving and fixing device flows around the object, so to speak, adapts to the shape thereof and thus receives it optimally.
  • the receiving and fixing device makes it possible to protect an object against being damaged, against shifting, the fixation, in particular the separation of a plurality of objects, and can serve as hold-down device and to protect the surfaces, edges and corners as well as impact protection.
  • receiving and fixing device not only optimal protection of the objects within the receiving and fixing device and/or a container, support frame or mounting device, respectively, is attained by means of the receiving and fixing device according to the invention, but the advantages of the invention can be utilized for any form of transport or storage.

Due to an impact-damping effect, damages to the object arranged in or on the receiving and fixing device can be prevented and it can be prevented that impact powers are received by the material of the receiving and fixing device and they are thus kept away from the object. The object is thus received in the receiving and fixing device so as to be protected against impact or is held by it, respectively, and the position thereof is fixed.
  • the entire receiving and fixing device does not consist of a material comprising the above-mentioned characteristics. Instead, it is sufficient when the at least one receiving section consists of such a material or if the material of the receiving and fixing device encompasses partially different characteristics, respectively, and only the at least one receiving section encompasses these material characteristics.
