Transportable packaging unit and method for producing said type of packaging unit

Abstract

The invention relates to a transportable packaging unit (10), having a packaging content (11), a covering (12) surrounding the packaging content (11) and connecting means (15a-d) connecting the packaging content (11) and the covering (12). The covering (12) has an outer shape which can roll. A packaging unit which is particularly simple and flexible to use is achieved such that the connecting means (15a-d) fix the content of the packaging (11) in the covering (12).

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to the field of the transportation and the storage of goods. The invention relates to a transportable packaging unit according to the preamble of claim 1.[0003]The invention further relates to a method for producing such a packaging unit.[0004]2. Discussion of Related Art[0005]Handling goods of all types, which are produced, packaged and finally transported to distributors or customers, requires sophisticated logistics which, in particular, comprises storing the goods and removing the goods from storage and transportation, particularly in these times of online commerce via the Internet.[0006]Many consumer goods, clothing, electrical and electronic devices and the like are already provided with separate packaging by the manufacturer and if required combined together to form larger units which are available, for example, on standard pallets. These pallets are generally moved by forklift truck...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The packaging unit described in this patent is designed to roll easily and uniformly without tilting or lifting the contents. The casing has a central point or axis, and the packaging contents are arranged so that their center of gravity is approximately aligned with this point or axis. This ensures that the packaging unit starts to roll smoothly and stays stable. The weight of the contents can be relatively low, but a small deviation between the center of gravity and the aligned point or axis is also allowed. The packaging unit also has interlocking mechanisms that securely close the casing with two halves. This ensures a safe and reliable package.

Problems solved by technology

In this type of warehouse, it is a costly procedure that the goods stored last in the warehouse generally have to be removed first from the warehouse, as the shelves are generally only filled and emptied from one side.

This leads to additional problems if the units are held together on the pallet by a film wrapped around the units.

At the same time, the removed pallets have to be transported from the warehouse by expensive technical devices.

The situation where the goods are stored and removed from storage individually in their own packaging is even more problematical.

If different goods are present, having different types and / or sizes of packaging, the situation is even more complicated.

Storage of the goods and removal of the goods from storage by automated and mechanical means is only able to be implemented with great difficulty in this case, so that generally the storage of the goods and the removal of the goods from storage is carried out manually.

A drawback with this type of packaging and packaging container is the exceptionally complicated internal construction of the packaging which is not practicable when processing large flows of goods.

A drawback, however, is also the movable storage of goods and / or packaging contents in the packaging container which, if the center of gravity of the goods is not located exactly in the central point of the sphere, results in wobbling and rolling movement sequences which are not able to be controlled.

Rolling transportation is not provided for this transport container.

The transportation is limited to liquids.
