[0001] Method for rolling and packaging wide-width wallpaper (Example)

[0002] The present invention relates to a method for winding and packaging wide-width wallpaper, wherein the wide-width wallpaper is wound around a reel located on a winding and rotating device and then the wallpaper is packaged in a container for transportation or storage. Background Art

[0003] There are known methods and devices for packaging wallpapers, the main function of which is to roll the wallpapers around a hollow cylindrical portion so as to form cylindrical rolls for their subsequent transport and their further use in the construction process.

[0004] The most common way of packaging wallpaper is to roll the wallpaper around the surface of a hollow cylindrical part such as a tube.

[0005] Thus, a roller is known which is a hollow cylindrical tube for rolling wallpaper along its length, wherein the tube is equipped with plugs at the ends. This represents in fact a standard basic method forming a method for packaging wallpaper.

[0006] Patent No. EP1145989 (A2) is known which describes a packaging device for winding material in the form of a web (eg fabric, nonwoven material, wallpaper etc.).

[0007] According to the solution presented therein, a rigid tube with a cylindrical cross-section serves as a core for rolling material, particularly wallpaper. The tube is closed at both ends and contains a waterproofing membrane container, which is placed in a cavity enclosed by the tube. The waterproofing container is a tubular membrane container adapted to the cross-section and dimensions of the tube.

[0008] The wallpaper is wound on a rigid tube as a winding core, wherein a waterproof container is inserted into the cavity.

[0009] At the same time, the pipe is equipped with insertable or attachable shipping fasteners at both ends, which have flanges adapted to the inner or outer diameter of the pipe and rectangular or square base plates. The length and width of each plate are greater than the diameter of the roll formed by the material wound on the pipe.

[0010] Due to the actions performed on the components of the packaging device, the tube with the wound material is protected on both sides.

[0011] The device is capable of using membrane containers that are closed by welds and filled with solid, liquid or pasty materials.

[0012] The disadvantage of the described technical solution is that its design is quite inconvenient both for the assembly process of the product and for the subsequent transportation and use.

[0013] It should be noted that in the above examples, a roll of wallpaper, resembling a small narrow tube with a limited height ranging from approximately 40 cm to 110 cm, is considered a form of wallpaper. When such wallpaper is used to cover a wall, there are numerous seams between the stripes, which peel and become loose over time, thereby ruining the overall pattern.

[0014] Wide-format wallpapers have been designed to achieve a ‘seamless’ effect.

[0015] The closest in technical essence to the claimed invention is a wide wallpaper winding device, which is described in Chinese Patent No. CN203889729 (U).

[0016] This patent relates to the possibility of rolling and packaging wide wallpaper by winding the wallpaper on a cylindrical winding and rotating device which uniformly winds the wallpaper thereon during rotation, forming a roll consisting of successive curls placed one on top of the other.

[0017] To solve this problem, in this patent, the winding and rotating device is placed above a base and accommodates a plurality of wall panels, between which a plurality of supporting tubes are attached, thereby conditionally forming the cylindrical shape of the winding and rotating device.

[0018] A coupling ring is fixed to each end of each support tube and attached to an aluminum guide roller. A transmission gear is fixed in the middle of each wall panel. A rotating gear connects to the outer ring of the wall panel.

[0019] As the aluminum guide rollers rotate, the wallpaper is not damaged by scratches on the supporting tubes.

[0020] This patented technical solution prevents wallpaper from deflecting or winding unevenly.

[0021] However, the design of the winding device is a complex technical structure, the production of which requires a large number of different machine parts, their precise association during assembly and, therefore, a complex process for starting and running the wide wallpaper winding process.

[0022] The technically obtained wide-format wallpaper for delivery to the place of use needs to be packaged, but this procedure is not taken into account in the patent, while in reality it is not simple and requires additional labor and financial costs. Summary of the Invention

[0023] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to develop a method for rolling and packaging wide wallpapers which provides a convenient and inexpensive maintenance process, wherein after the wallpapers are rolled they are placed in a container for transport or storage and packaged in the container.

[0024] In order to solve the problem of achieving the specified technical effect, at least two embodiments of the present invention are possible.

[0025] According to a first embodiment of the invention, the problem is solved by the fact that in a method for winding and packaging wide wallpaper by winding the wallpaper onto a cylindrical winding and rotating device, which causes the wallpaper to be wound uniformly thereon during rotation, thereby forming a roll consisting of continuous curls superimposed on each other, the winding and rotating device is made in the form of a hollow closed cylindrical tube of flexible material and is equipped with a valve, through which air is filled into the tube to form the cylindrical shape of the tube, the wallpaper edges are fixed along the length of the inflated cylindrical tube, and the wallpaper is wound onto the tube until a roll of the desired length is obtained, the air is released from the tube through the valve until a flat structure in the form of a wallpaper layer with the tube placed inside is obtained, the resulting flat structure is laid out in several layers for packaging in containers for transport or storage, after which the tube can be inflated into a cylindrical shape.

[0026] Additionally, in this embodiment, edges corresponding to the width of the wallpaper are secured along the length of the cylindrical tube using securing means such as glue, adhesive tape, or other securing means.

[0027] According to a second embodiment of the invention, the problem is solved by the fact that in a method for winding and packaging wide wallpaper by winding the wallpaper on a cylindrical winding and rotating device, the winding and rotating device causes the wallpaper to be uniformly wound thereon during rotation, thereby forming a roll consisting of continuous curls superimposed on each other, the winding and rotating device is made in the form of a hollow closed cylindrical tube of flexible material and is equipped with a valve, through which air is filled into the tube to form the cylindrical shape of the tube, the tube being formed from a portion of a single sheet of wallpaper material selected from the edges in the form of a fold along the width of the wallpaper, thereby providing a set size of the tube diameter, the selected portion of the wallpaper material being laid out in two layers along the width, and these layers being fastened along the periphery of the formed side edges, the rest of the wallpaper roll being wound around the tube until a roll of the desired length is obtained; the air is released from the tube through the valve until a flat structure in the form of a wallpaper layer with the tube placed inside is obtained, the resulting flat structure is laid out in several layers for packaging in a container for transport or storage, after which it can be brought into a cylindrical shape by inflating the tube.

[0028] Also, in both embodiments of the method, the valve is mounted on a base of a cylindrical tube, and the tube is made of materials such as vinyl, PVC, polyethylene, and other flexible materials.

[0029] The technical effect achieved by means of the embodiments of the claimed invention is to simplify the technical process of rolling and packaging wide-width wallpapers and thus also to reduce the financial and labour costs for carrying out maintenance work.

[0030] This result is achieved due to the fact that in both embodiments of the claimed method, use is made of a simple and inexpensive device for winding the wallpaper in the form of a flexible cylindrical tube, which device is equipped with a valve for filling air into it.

[0031] In the first embodiment, the size of the separately purchased tube can be easily selected for any specific width of wallpaper size, including wallpaper made from a single web for the entire covered wall area. At the same time, there are no technical or economic difficulties in manufacturing tubes of standard sizes and individual sizes specifically for the length and diameter of a specific wallpaper.

[0032] Furthermore, in the second embodiment, forming the tube from the wallpaper material is not only a technically simple and inexpensive process, but also greatly simplifies the auxiliary step of using the tube when winding the wallpaper.

[0033] In both embodiments, the process of obtaining a flat design in the form of a wallpaper layer with the tubes placed inside is ensured simply by releasing the air from the tubes through valves.

[0034] The subsequent laying of the flat structure and its packaging in containers for transport or storage are simple standard operations for both embodiments of the method.

[0035] In carrying out the claimed method, inexpensive equipment and widely available auxiliary technical materials are used, which do not require large financial costs.

[0036] A significant advantage of the invention is that the packaged wide wallpaper can then be conveniently used during the application process on the wall. In fact, the claimed method makes it possible to apply wallpaper from a single web to the entire work surface, which greatly simplifies the installation process by reducing the number of operations to be performed when applying the wallpaper.

[0037] Finally, the embodiment of the proposed method is easy to use, easy to work with and provides reliable safety of the end product, which is compactly packed in containers for transport or storage of wallpaper rolls, excluding the possibility of harmful effects of external environmental factors on the packaging material, thus preventing it from becoming contaminated and losing its consumer properties.

[0038] Furthermore, the compact packaging of the broadsheets according to the invention ensures a significant increase in their availability and a reduction in the costs of transport to the installation site. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0052] These methods were carried out as follows.

[0053] According to the method of winding and packaging wide wallpaper made of flexible material, according to the first embodiment ( Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 ), depending on the parameters of the wallpaper to be packaged, a tube 1 made in cylindrical form is selected ( Figure 1 ), the tube having a length corresponding to the width of the wallpaper. Air is introduced into the tube, for example through a valve 2 located in one of the bases of the tube, to form a rigid cylindrical shape capable of holding the wallpaper rolled thereon in a vertical position during application of the wallpaper to the wall.

[0054] The cylindrical tube is placed on the auxiliary working device to facilitate the subsequent actions, and the edge of the wallpaper width is fixed to the tube along its length so that the wallpaper roll is parallel to the tube. Then, carefully turn the tube and evenly roll the wallpaper web 3 on it ( Figure 2), tracking the smooth surface on which it winds.

[0055] Thus, a completely wound roll of wallpaper is obtained, the width and length of which are determined by the required dimensions, which correspond to the dimensions of the wall surface to be wallpapered.

[0056] Furthermore, the air contained therein is released from the tube 1 on which the wallpaper roll is wound, through the valve 2, until a flat rectangular product is obtained ( Figure 3 ), the product is formed by wallpaper 3 with a flat tube 1 inside, with sections represented as flat bases 4 along the length of both sides.

[0057] The resulting rectangular product is laid layer by layer ( Figure 4 ), and then hermetically packed in a container of suitable size for subsequent transport or storage. At the same time, the size of these layers and therefore their number are related to the size of the internal volume of the selected container.

[0058] According to the method for winding and packaging wide wallpaper made of flexible material, according to the second embodiment ( Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 ), the structure of the tube selected for the wallpaper to be packaged is formed from the material of the wallpaper to have a partially unfolded web 6 ( Figure 5 ) is shown in the form of a single roll 5. Starting from a partially unrolled web 6, it is bent along the width of the wallpaper from the edge 7 towards the roll 5, and the section 8 ( Figure 6 ) to form a tube. When forming the tube, the wallpaper material of the section 8 is laid in 2 layers and these layers are fastened along the periphery of the side edges. Thus, a tube 9 is obtained through the wallpaper material and a valve 10 is installed on one of the short sides of the tube ( Figure 7 ).

[0059] Then, as in the first embodiment, air is filled through the valve 10 inside the tube 9 to form the tube into a rigid cylindrical shape. The tube is gently turned to evenly wind the wallpaper web of roll 5 onto it ( Figure 8 ), monitoring the achievement of a smooth surface on which it is wound.

[0060] Thus, a completely wound roll of wallpaper is obtained, the width and length of which are determined by the required dimensions, which correspond to the dimensions of the wall surface to be papered.

[0061] Furthermore, the air contained therein is released from the tube 9 on which the wallpaper roll is wound, through the valve 10, until a flat rectangular product is obtained ( Figure 9 ), the product is formed by a wallpaper roll 5 with a flat tube 9 inside.

[0062] The resulting rectangular product is laid layer by layer ( Figure 10 ), and then hermetically packed in a container of suitable size for subsequent transport or storage. At the same time, the size of these layers and therefore their number are related to the size of the internal volume of the selected container.

[0063] It should be noted that in both embodiments of the method, different materials (e.g., vinyl, PVC, polyethylene and other flexible materials) can be used for the wallpaper wrapped around the cylindrical tube. In addition, for the first embodiment of the method, paper can also be used as the wallpaper material.

[0064] If desired, the consumer who has purchased wide-format wallpaper is able to unpack the purchased roll and carry out all the packaging procedures in reverse order, ultimately having the opportunity to carry out the wallpapering procedure independently.

[0065] Examples of specific implementations of the method

[0066] When developing the embodiments of the method of winding and packaging wide-format wallpaper described above, experimental tests were carried out on the possibility of their implementation.

[0067] Embodiment 1. This experiment was conducted using standard fabric wallpaper wound in the form of a roll with a width of 2.7 m and a length of 5.0 m.

[0068] To wind this wallpaper roll on a tube, a sample was purchased in the form of a hollow closed cylindrical product, the length of which was 2.75 m, corresponding to the width of the wallpaper, and the diameter of which was equal to 0.3 m. During the experiment, this tube also made it possible to place it vertically with the wallpaper with confidence.

[0069] Air was inflated into the cylindrical tube using an Intex 68605 pump through a Lightblue screw valve mounted on one of the bases of the cylindrical tube until a rigid cylindrical shape was formed to ensure a stable vertical position of the inflated tube.

[0070] The inflated tube is placed along its length on the auxiliary device and the edges of the wallpaper are fixed to the cylindrical surface of the tube parallel to the axis using double-sided tape. With the subsequent rotation of the tube parallel to its axis, the wallpaper is evenly wound around the tube so that a certain cylindrical structure is formed.

[0071] The valve is then opened and the air is released from the tube until a flat structure is obtained consisting of multiple layers of wallpaper with a flat tube located in the center between them.

[0072] Given its full length, the resulting product is laid on top of each other in serpentine layers of 0.4 m, forming a compact structure 0.3 m high, 0.4 m long and 0.4 m wide. This structure is packed in cardboard boxes measuring 0.5 m x 0.4 m x 0.3 m for storage.

[0073] Thus, the method ensures a convenient solution to the problem of rolling and packaging wide-width wallpapers, which can be used effectively for various economic purposes.

[0074] Example 2. During this experiment, as in the first embodiment, a standard textile wallpaper was used, wound in rolls with a width of 2.7 m and a length of 6.0 m. Starting from the edge of the roll in a horizontal position, a 0.95 m section of the web was unwound along its width, resulting in a cylindrical section with a diameter of 0.3 m.

[0075] The unwound section of wallpaper length web is folded across its width and joined along the side edges to form a closed rectangular volume. A Lightblue Spiral valve is hermetically sealed in the middle of one of the short sides of the rectangle. Air is pumped through the valve using an Intex 68605 pump until a rigid cylindrical tube with a diameter of 0.3 m and a length of 2.7 m is formed.

[0076] The inflated tube and the rest of the wallpaper roll connected to it are placed longitudinally on an auxiliary device.With the subsequent rotation of the tube parallel to its axis, the roll of wallpaper is evenly wound thereon, so that a certain cylindrical structure is formed.

[0077] The valve is then opened and the air is released from the tube to obtain a flat structure consisting of several layers of fabric wallpaper and a flat tube of the same material placed in the center between them.

[0078] As in the first embodiment, the resulting product is laid on top of each other in serpentine layers measuring 0.4 m, forming a compact structure 0.3 m high, 0.4 m long and 0.4 m wide. The structure is packed in cardboard boxes measuring 0.5 m x 0.4 m x 0.3 m for storage.

[0079] Thus, the method ensures a convenient solution to the problem of rolling and packaging wide wallpaper, does not require additional equipment, and can be effectively used for various economic purposes.
