It comprises a base body made of honeycomb cardboard and at least one corrugated board unit mechanically connected to the base body, the unit comprising at least one corrugated board element. EP 3 858 757 A1, for example, discloses that the corrugated board unit has at least one edge which is recessed in a plane parallel to an outer layer of the corrugated board unit towards a corresponding edge of the base body or projects beyond it. EP 3 858 758 A1, for example, discloses that the corrugated board unit has at least one edge which projects in a plane parallel to an outer layer of the corrugated board unit towards a corresponding edge of the base body, and that the projecting part of the corrugated board unit is folded over the edge of the base body.

[0003] The object of the invention is, in particular but not limited to, providing a generic device with improved properties with regard to application efficiency and / or manufacturing efficiency. This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1, while advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention can be found in the dependent claims.

Preferably, the at least one corrugated board element exhibits minimum shock absorption perpendicular to the principal plane of extension of the at least one corrugated board element.

[0014] It is conceivable that the transport securing device comprises at least one further corrugated board unit, which is connected to the base body and / or to the at least one corrugated board unit, wherein at least one edge, preferably the majority of the edges, of the at least one further corrugated board unit is arranged at least substantially flush with at least one edge, in particular each corresponding edge, of the base body and / or the at least one corrugated board unit. For example, a layered system consisting of a corrugated board unit, a base body made of honeycomb board, and another corrugated board unit, preferably in this order, or a layered system consisting of a corrugated board unit, another corrugated board unit, and a base body made of honeycomb board, preferably in this order, is conceivable.

[0015] A "principal extension plane" of a building unit is understood to be, in particular, a plane which is parallel to a largest side face of a smallest imaginary cuboid which just completely encloses the building unit, and in particular passes through the center of the cuboid.

[0016] Furthermore, it is proposed that one surface of the base body, in particular the one mentioned above, be designed to be at least substantially congruent with one surface of the at least one corrugated board unit, in particular the one mentioned above, and also to be designed to be parallel with the main plane of the at least one corrugated board unit. Such a design provides advantageously high structural strength, which in particular enables advantageously high application efficiency. Furthermore, advantageously high manufacturing efficiency can be provided, since the congruent design of the surfaces of the base body and the corrugated board unit allows for advantageously fast assembly with an advantageously small number of processing steps.The term "at least substantially identical" shall be understood in particular to mean that two surfaces are identical in their shape and size at least 90%, preferably at least 95%, advantageously at least 99%, preferably at least 99.5%, and most preferably completely.

[0017] It is further proposed that the transport securing device have at least one recess, produced in particular by cutting and / or punching, for at least partially receiving the at least one object. Such a design can provide a particularly high level of protection for the received object, since, in the received state, movement of the object relative to the transport securing device can be counteracted by means of the recess. Preferably, the transport securing device has a maximum height extension, which is formed by summing the thickness of the base body and the thickness of the at least one corrugated board unit and, optionally, the thicknesses of additional corrugated board units.Preferably, the maximum height of the transport securing device is measurable along a direction of height that runs perpendicular to the main plane of extension of the base body. Preferably, the at least one recess extends at least partially, advantageously to a large extent, and preferably completely, through the maximum height of the transport securing device.

[0018] Furthermore, it is proposed that the at least one corrugated board unit comprises at least one further corrugated board element, in particular the one mentioned above, wherein the at least one corrugated board element has a wave direction, and wherein the at least one further corrugated board element has a further wave direction different from the wave direction. Such a design can provide advantageously high stability and / or compressive strength of the transport securing device, since, in particular, forces acting on the transport securing device from different directions can be advantageously absorbed flexibly.

Preferably, the further wave direction of at least one further corrugated board element is oriented perpendicular to another edge of the base body.

[0019] Furthermore, it is proposed that the at least one corrugated board element and the at least one further corrugated board element are butt-jointed. Such a design allows for advantageously high manufacturing efficiency, since butt joints, in particular, are advantageously easy to produce. Furthermore, advantageously high shock absorption can be provided, since a butt joint, rather than, for example, an overlapping joint, enables a more uniform transmission of force. Preferably, the at least one corrugated board element is butted at an end face perpendicular to the main plane of extension of the corrugated board element with an end face of the at least one further corrugated board element perpendicular to the main plane of extension of the at least one further corrugated board element.

[0020] It is further proposed that the wave directions of at least two adjacent corrugated board elements of the at least one corrugated board unit, in particular the aforementioned at least one corrugated board element and / or the aforementioned at least one further corrugated board element, be aligned at least substantially perpendicular to each other. Such a design provides advantageously high stability for the transport securing device, since, in particular, mutually perpendicular wave directions of the corrugated board elements enable advantageously high bending strength in two directions. Furthermore, the risk of shear stresses can be advantageously minimized.

[0021] Furthermore, it is proposed that at least two adjacent corrugated board elements of the at least one corrugated board unit, in particular the aforementioned at least one corrugated board element and / or the aforementioned at least one further corrugated board element, are connected to each other by means of a corner joint. Such a design provides advantageously high stability for the transport securing device, since, in particular, a corner joint of corrugated board elements creates an advantageously firm edge, stabilizing the shape of the base body.

[0022] Furthermore, it is proposed that at least two adjacent corrugated board elements of the at least one corrugated board unit, in particular the aforementioned at least one corrugated board element and / or the aforementioned at least one further corrugated board element, are joined together by means of a miter joint. Such a design enables advantageously high stability along the entire edge length of the transport securing device. Preferably, the at least two corrugated board elements have an edge angle of 45° at a miter joint. Alternatively, it is conceivable that the at least two corrugated board elements have an edge angle other than 45° at the miter joint, for example, an edge angle of 30° and 60° or an edge angle of 20° and 70°.Preferably, the sum of the edge angles of the at least two corrugated board elements at the miter joint corresponds to an angle of 90°.

[0023] Furthermore, the invention relates to an object transport securing system comprising at least one transport securing device and a transport container for receiving the at least one transport securing device. The object transport securing system is characterized in particular by the advantageous properties that can be achieved through the features of the transport securing device described above. For example, the transport container is designed as a cardboard box, a box, or a crate. For example, the transport container is made of wood, plastic, or metal. Advantageously, the transport container is made of cardboard. Preferably, the transport container has a cuboid or cubic shape. Alternatively, it is conceivable that the transport container has, for example, a cylindrical, conical, capsule-shaped, or any other arbitrary shape.Preferably, the at least one transport securing device, in particular a geometry and / or a dimension, is adapted to the transport container. The transport container is preferably designed to accommodate the at least one transport securing device. The transport container is preferably designed to accommodate the at least one transport securing device together with the at least one object.

[0024] The at least one transport securing device is preferably designed to be placed inside the transport container. It is conceivable that the object transport securing system comprises at least one further transport securing device, wherein, for example, the at least one transport securing device functions as a bottom ring and the at least one further transport securing device functions as a top ring.

[0025] The term "intended" is understood to mean, in particular, specifically programmed, designed, and / or equipped. The fact that an object is intended for a specific function is understood to mean, in particular, that the object fulfills and / or executes this specific function in at least one application and / or operating state.

[0026] The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing a transport securing device, in particular one of the aforementioned types. It is proposed that, in at least one process step, at least one edge, preferably the majority of the edges, of the at least one corrugated board unit is arranged at least substantially flush with at least one edge, in particular each corresponding edge, of the base body. Preferably, in the at least one process step, each edge of the corrugated board unit is arranged at least substantially flush with the corresponding edge of the base body. The method for manufacturing the transport securing device is characterized in particular by the advantageous properties that can be achieved by the features of the transport securing device described above.
