Description

2. Technical area:

[0001] The invention relates to a textile, padded protective insert for the safe stacking and transport of round hollow objects, particularly those made of fragile materials such as glass and ceramic. The protective insert serves to safely separate and protect fragile objects within a transport bag or container. 3. State of the art:

[0002] Previous solutions for transporting crystal singing bowls and other fragile hollow objects involve stacking them in padded carrying cases, using improvised materials such as plastic bags and bubble wrap. However, these methods do not provide reliable protection and are cumbersome to handle. 4. Object of the invention:

[0003] The task is to provide a textile protective insert that enables safe separation and padding of sensitive hollow bodies, facilitates handling and is sustainable and durable. 5. Solution to the task:

[0004] The textile padded protective insert is made of two layers and features an inner padding layer. This layer is located between the two fabric layers and is not visible from the outside. The entire construction ensures even cushioning and prevents point-like impacts on sensitive materials. The protective insert is designed to securely stack and protect round hollow objects.

[0005] Features of the invention are explained in the drawing: - Particularly stable and flat seam technology (4) to ensure stability when lifting or carrying the crystal singing bowls and to avoid pressure points on the singing bowls. - Reusable and sustainable as it is a durable and environmentally friendly alternative to disposable cushioning materials such as plastic or bubble wrap. - Multi-purpose handles (3) that can be placed outside or inside with the following functions: ◯ Allows easy and safe removal and handling of the singing bowls. ◯ Allows handling with one or both hands as required ◯ Serve as additional padding when placed inside. ◯ If the singing bowls are stacked closely together, they can be placed on the outside. ◯If two crystal singing bowls have more space when stacked inside each other, the handles serve as an additional buffer to prevent wobbling. 6. Advantages of the invention: - Increased protection through the double-layer construction and padding (2) - Flexible handling thanks to handles (3), which provide additional padding - Special flat seam technique (4) prevents punctual pressure points on the singing bowls - Stability through special sewing techniques (4) - Sustainable alternative to plastic films - Versatile for other fragile items 7. IPC classification (proposal): - B65D 85 / 00: Packaging for delicate items - B65D 81 / 05: Padded packaging - A45C 11 / 00: Carrying bags with protective function List of reference symbols: 1 protective insert 2 Internal padding 3 handles 4 Flat and stable seams or seam connections
