Description

January 19, 2026 120877P1532PC DEVICE FOR THE TRANSPORT AND STORAGE OF FLEXIBLE FLAT PRODUCTS

[0001] The present invention relates to a device for the transport and storage of flexible sheet products, in particular textiles or films, comprising a body with a base plate, a frame attached to the base plate, and a closure plate, optionally a rigid support plate, a fixing plate structure with a fixing plate body, a cover, and a protective layer, and a cushioning plate.

[0002] The packaging of flexible sheet products, especially textiles or films, presents a significant challenge in logistics and handling, as these products, due to their flexibility and malleability, place special demands on transport and storage.

[0003] Flexible sheet products, such as unstretched canvases (with a paint layer) or works on paper (i.e., paper with a paint or drawing layer), are often stored and / or transported using their flexibility and malleability. These flexible sheet products are rolled or folded. Rolling involves wrapping the flexible sheet product into a compact, cylindrical shape. Folding involves folding the flexible sheet product into several layers or sections to achieve a compact form. Both methods offer the advantage of space-saving storage and transport. However, both rolling and folding can lead to creases or permanent wrinkles in the material, which can be particularly problematic with delicate or soft surfaces.

[0004] Alternatively, flexible sheet products are stored and / or transported in their unfolded form in suitable horizontal storage and / or transport crates. However, a horizontal crate generally takes up significantly more space than if it were transported upright. This leads to more difficult handling and less efficient use of available cargo space, especially where space is limited, which increases transport costs.

[0005] It is an object of the invention to provide an improved device for the transport and storage of flexible sheet products. In particular, it is a 19th January 2026 120877P1532PC The object of the invention is to provide a device for the transport and storage of flexible sheet products that avoids damage to the flexible sheet product, guarantees easy handling and enables low utilization of the loading or storage space.

[0006] This problem is solved by the teaching of independent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are claimed in the dependent claims.

[0007] A first aspect of the invention relates to a device for transporting and storing preferably flexible sheet products, in particular textiles or films, comprising: a body, preferably cuboid in shape, with a base plate, a frame attached to the base plate, and a closure plate, wherein the body defines a receiving space for receiving objects, the closure plate being designed to be placed on the frame to close the receiving space; a fixing plate structure with a bottom and a top, comprising: a fixing plate body; a covering, wherein the fixing plate body is completely covered by the covering; a protective layer arranged on the underside of the fixing plate structure on the side of the covering facing away from the fixing plate body;wherein the underside of the fixing plate structure is configured to be arranged on a flexible sheet product in a spread-out state; and a padding plate which is configured to be arranged on the top side of the fixing plate structure.

[0008] In a sub-aspect of the first aspect, the device further comprises a rigid support plate, which is designed to be arranged in the receiving space and which is designed to accommodate a flexible sheet product in an unfolded state. In this embodiment, the underside of the fixed plate structure is designed to be positioned on a flexible sheet product arranged in an unfolded state on the support plate.

[0009] In a second aspect, the invention relates to the device according to the first aspect in combination with at least one flexible sheet product contained therein.

[0010] The claimed device is used in particular for transferring the device for the transport and storage of flexible sheet products according to the first aspect of the invention from an unpackaged state to a packaged state, 19 January 2026 120877P1532PC The following steps are typically carried out: arranging a flexible sheet product in its unfolded state on the carrier plate; arranging the carrier plate in the receiving space of the body; arranging the underside of the fixing plate structure on the flexible sheet product arranged in its unfolded state on the carrier plate; arranging the padding plate on the top side of the fixing plate structure; closing the receiving space by placing the closing plate on the frame.

[0011] The claimed device is also used to transfer the device for transporting and storing flexible sheet products according to the first aspect of the invention from a packaged state to an unpacked state, typically involving the following steps: opening the receiving space by removing the closure plate from the frame; removing the padding plate from the top of the fixing plate structure; removing the fixing plate structure from the flexible sheet product arranged on the carrier plate in a spread-out state; removing the carrier plate from the receiving space of the body; removing the flexible sheet product from the carrier plate.

[0012] A flexible sheet product within the meaning of the invention is a material or product that has a flat shape and can be easily rolled or folded without losing its basic structure or function. In particular, a flexible sheet product within the meaning of the invention can be a textile or a film. In a further preferred embodiment, the flexible sheet product is a stretched or stretched canvas (with a paint layer), a photograph mounted on a flat support, an unmounted photograph, or a drawing or painting on paper ("paperwork").

[0013] In the context of a flexible sheet product, "unfolded" within the meaning of the invention means that the flexible sheet product has been unfolded or unrolled in its complete, flat form. It describes the state in which the material is laid out uncompressed, i.e., not folded or rolled, on a surface, in particular a flat one, so that it displays its full size and shape.

[0014] A precision fit, as defined in the invention, is a mechanical connection in which two components are joined together by their precise shape in such a way that they form a firm and stable connection without additional fasteners such as screws or nails. January 19, 2026 120877P1532PC
