Abstract: Assembly of an object and a packaging for it, the packaging comprising a covering of cellulose material, completely enveloping the object, having a block shape with six planes limited by corners and ribs connecting the corners, as well as filling pieces placed between the object and the covering, which leave a substantial part of the adjacent planes free, at the location of at least some of the corners the filling pieces are situated between the planes contiguous to the corner and the filling pieces being formed from a honeycomb panel of cellulose material with a honeycomb-shaped core and two cover plates adhered on both its sides.

Description: Packaging assembly The invention relates to an assembly of an object, such as a domestic, electric appliance, and a packaging for it. Such assemblies usually comprise a packaging consisting of a cardboard box and filling material, which fills up the space between the object and the box, in particular at the location of the ribs and the corners of the box. The filling material usually consists of expanded synthetic material, particularly polystyrene foam, in the form of loose particles, such as little balls, or in the form of filling pieces which may extend over an entire rib of the packaging. The filling material may also consist of cardboard, such as honeycomb cardboard, and be formed from plate material which is provided with folding lines in order to be folded along them into a three dimensional construction protecting a plurality of sides of the object. This could be a completely cardboard inner covering between box and object, or a number of separate filling pieces. Examples of both are included in WO 94/27814 and US patent specification 2.728.479, in which the use of cardboard honeycomb panels, consisting of a honeycomb core and two cardboard plates on both sides thereof, is described, the panels being somewhat pre-compressed to deform one or both sides in order to improve the deforming behaviour and the shock absorbtion capacity of the panel. In these known packaging assemblies with honeycomb panels still no optimal use is made of the basis material. An objective of the invention is to make such optimal use possible . To that end the invention provides an assembly of an object and a packaging for it, the packaging comprising a covering of cellulose material, completely enveloping the object and having a block shape with planes limited by corners and ribs connecting the corners, as well as filling pieces placed between the object and the covering, which leave a substantial part of the adjacent planes free, the filling pieces being cut from a honeycomb panel of cellulose material with a honeycomb-shaped core with a cover plate adhered to at least one side of it, at least some of the filling pieces consisting of parts abutting different planes of the covering and being connected with each other by a folding line and all filling pieces destined for one or more packaging assemblies together fit- ting in one another in flat state in order to form an at least almost rectangular honeycomb panel. In this way the material of the honeycomb panel is at least almost completely used. Moreover a substantial benefit can be gained in the logistic field, as the combined filling pieces after cutting are held together and can be transported in a flat state to the manufacturer of the object and only need to be folded into a convenient unit at the moment of packaging. The space necessary for transport and storage is thereby kept to a minimum. It is preferable here that the filling pieces are cut from a honeycomb plate with a width which corresponds to the length of a rib of the covering. From a further aspect the invention has the objective to provide a packaging assembly of the kind mentioned in the preamble, the filling pieces being made of the aforementioned, pre-loaded honeycomb panel material, and with which an optimal filling between object and box can be realized. To this end according to the invention, at least one filling piece has two parts integrally formed with each other, which abut the same or different planes of the covering, originate from the same plate material and have a different thickness, by pre-loading those parts to a different degree. In this way pre-loading and adjustment to the specific shape of the object can take place in one act. Preferably these parts are separated from one another by a cut-in line, so that they can abut different planes of the object and covering and adjustment to the specific packaging is obtained in a simple way. Such filling pieces pre-loaded to different degrees can advantageously be part of the same panel from which the other filling pieces for the packaging assembly are obtained, as described above. This makes it possible for the cutting, the cutting-in, the pre-loading and the giving of different thickness to take place in one process step. According to another further development at least some of the filling pieces consist of at least two pieces, which by means of a folding line are connected to one another and abut different planes of the covering. In this way it is possible to form various filling pieces situated near a same corner or near a same rib from one and the same honeycomb plate . It is further preferred here that the folding lines are situated in the cover plate of the filling pieces which is in contact with the object. In this way it is realized that the filling pieces remain at a distance from the rib or vertex concerned. The area situated there, which is unsupported by filling pieces, will form a pre-fail zone, in which the first part of the thrust energy will be absorbed. The filling pieces will only then be loaded when a certain thrust or fall-load value has been exceeded. According to yet another further development, the cover plate of at least some of the filling pieces which plate is in contact with the object, is provided with a polyethene coating on the contact surface. This polyethene layer does not only constitute a barrier against penetration of moisture, but also a scratch free abutting plane for the object. The use of polyethene hardly reduces the recyclability of the filling pieces. Preferably the polyethene is HDPE. From another aspect the invention provides a filling piece for the kind of packaging mentioned in the preamble, made of the aforementioned honeycomb plate material with a cover plate which is cut through on the object side. In this way it is realized that the two portions of the filling piece situated on both sides of the cut can be pushed in independently from each other between the object and the covering. When the object is provided with projections and abuts the one portion with them, that portion will deform under the weight of the object until the other parts of the object abut the other portion. Possibly the pre-compression to different degrees of the honeycomb plate material there, can be refrained from. From another aspect the invention provides an assembly of an object and a packaging for it, the packaging comprising a covering of cellulose material, completely enveloping the object, having a block shape with planes limited by corners and ribs connecting the corners, as well as filling pieces placed between the object and the covering, which pieces are made of honeycomb panel with a honeycomb- shaped core and at least one cover plate, the filling pieces being adhered to the inner surface of the covering. The filling pieces or filling blocks can jointly, but separately, be delivered with the covering in blank to the manufacturer, particularly to manufacturers of TV-sets. The joint volume of the total packaging is strongly reduced here with respect to the known packagings, among others those with polystyrene filling blocks, which reduc- tion could amount to over 50%. Before shaping the covering into a box the filling pieces can be adhered to the inner surface which can easily be done mechanically. Alternatively the coverings in blank can also be delivered with filling pieces adhered on them beforehand. The filling pieces consist, as mentioned, of flat plate material, in which it is unnecessary to follow the contours of the product to be packaged. The positioning of the filling pieces is such that it creates a balance situation with respect to the centre of gravity of the product to be protected. From another aspect the invention provides an assembly of an object and a packaging for it, the packaging comprising a covering of cellulose material, completely enveloping the object, having a block shape with planes limited by corners and ribs connecting the corners, as well as filling pieces placed between the object and the covering, which pieces are made of honeycomb panel with a honeycomb- shaped core and at least one cover plate, the filling pieces only occupying a small part of the surface of the plane concerned. Preferably the filling pieces are applied between each plane of the covering and the object. Preferably at least some of the filling pieces are situated on a respective plane at a distance from the ribs limiting that plane. The filling pieces can also be applied in the covering in another way than by adhesion. According to the invention an assembly of an object and a packaging for it is provided to that end, the packaging comprising a covering of cellulose material, completely enveloping the object, having a block shape with planes limited by corners and ribs connecting the corners, as well as filling pieces placed between the object and the covering, which pieces are made of honeycomb panel with a honeycomb-shaped core and at least one cover plate, at least some of the filling pieces having been arranged on a same honeycomb plate. Preferably the honeycomb plate extends over at least one entire side of the covering. The honeycomb plate ensures that the filling pieces are kept at the right mutual distance from one another. The honeycomb plate can easily be managed and placed in the covering. From another aspect the invention provides an assembly of an object - preferably a TV - and a packaging for it, the packaging comprising a covering of cellulose material, completely enveloping the object, having a block shape with planes limited by corners and ribs connecting the corners, as well as filling pieces placed between the object and the covering, which pieces are made of honeycomb panel with a honeycomb-shaped core and at least one cover plate, at least two filling pieces situated near different planes of the covering being connected to one another by means of a carrier plate of honeycomb panel . In this way too the filling pieces can easily be placed in the covering . Further advantageous embodiments are described in the claims . The invention further relates to a blank from which the filling pieces are cut, or either a flat assembly built of a number filling pieces abutting each other for the packaging of one or more objects. The invention is elucidated on the basis of a number of exemplary embodiments depicted in the enclosed drawings. Shown is in: figure 1 a blank of filling pieces for two assemblies according to the invention; figures 2A and 2B a view from above and a side view respectively on a filling piece from the blank of figure 1; figures 3A and 3B a view from above and a side view on another filling piece of the blank of figure 1; figures 4A and 4B a view from above and a side view on yet another filling piece of the blank of figure 1; figures 5A and 5B cut-away, perspective views on an assembly according to- the invention with the filling pieces of the figures 1-4; figures 6 and 7, respectively, another embodiment of an assembly according to the invention and a filling piece therefor; figure 8A, 8B, 8C and 8D an alternative embodiment of the filling piece of figure 6, a packaging provided with it respectively, and a further alternative filling piece, respectively; figure 9 a cross-section in detail through a filling piece according to the invention; and figure 10 a further embodiment of the assembly according to the invention; figures 11A and 11B filling piece sets for yet another embodiment of the assembly according to the invention, in front view and two side views according to arrows XIB and XIC, respectively; figures 12A and 12B a front view and cross section according to the line XIIB, respectively, of a set of filling pieces for use with the filling pieces of figures 11A-C; figures 13A and 13B . erspective views taken from different sides on an assembly in which the filling piece sets of the figures 11A-C and 12A, 12B have been used, in a packaging for a TV; figures 14A and 14B a front view and a side view on a filling piece set for use in a further embodiment of the assembly according to the invention; figures 15A-15C a front view, an end view and a side view of a filling piece set for use with the filling piece set of the figures 14A and 14B in an assembly according to the invention; and figures 16A-16C a perspective view from above, a perspective view from below and a perspective view from above with TV on the packaging assembly, respectively, in which use is made of the filling piece set of the figures 14A, B and 15A-C. The blank 1 shown in figure 1 originates from a honeycomb panel with a core and two cover plates, which has been cut through and cut in to provide a number of filling pieces 2, 3, 4. The blank shown comprises two sets of filling pieces 2, 3, 4 with which two packagings for a television, as shown in figures 5A and 5B, can be realized. At the location of the meeting lines between the different filling pieces 2, 3 and 4 the blank 1 is completely cut through. Also visible are recesses 5, 6, 6a and 7, which have been made in order to adjust the filling pieces beforehand, in flat shape, to the desired shape. Simultaneously with the act of cutting through the filling pieces have been cut in at suitable locations, as is more clearly shown in the figures 2-4. Simultaneously a pressure has been exerted on the main planes of the honeycomb panel for the blank 1 in order to pre-deform the honeycomb panel and to locally realize differences in thickness. This will further be gone into in the discussion of figure 9. The corner filling piece 2 shown in figure 2A and 2B is built up from four panels 8a, 8b, 8c and 8d/8e, a cut-in 9b being made from below between the panels 8a and 8b, cut-in 9a (see figure 2B) being made from below between the panels 8a, 8d/8d, a completely through-going cut 9d being made between the panels 8b and 8c/8d and a cut-in 9c being made from below between the panels 8c and 8d. At the location of the cut-ins 9a, 9b and 9c a folding line may be formed in the cover plate of the honeycomb panel that is not cut-in, as shown in figure 2B at the location of 9a' . At the location of the area 8e the panel 8d/8e is compressed extra in a manner tapering to the outside, to a smallest thickness d2, which is a little more than half the thickness dl of the remaining part of the filling piece 2. In figure 3A and 3B the filling piece 3 is shown, with which two corners and one rib in the packaging of figure 5A and 5B can be protected. The filling piece 3 comprises a central panel 10a, in which through-going cuts 11a and lie have been applied and from below cut-ins lib lie and lid have been applied. Thus, at the location of the cut- ins lid, the main panel 10a has been connected to the panels lOd, which themselves by means of cut-ins lie have been connected to panels 10c, which by means of cut-ins lib have been connected to panels 10b. As can be seen in figure 10b, the panels 10b and 10c are compressed somewhat further than panel 10a, which has a thickness of d4 , to a thickness of d3. Furthermore it can be seen that in the panels lOd via a cut-in llf applied from above merge into panels lOe, which thus can deform independently from panels lOd, and are provided with an extra compressed, recessed area lOf, which is surrounded by boundary line ng. The filling piece 4 shown in figures 4A and 4B extends between two vertices and up to the middle of a rib situated opposite both vertices. The filling piece 4 comprises a panel 12a, which is substantially inverted T- shaped with a basis 12a' which has a width corresponding to the length of the rib between both said vertices, and a stem 12a' ' , which between the bottom edge of the basis 12a' and the folding line 13c has a length corresponding to the height of the box (see figures 5A and 5B) . The panel part 12a' is bevelled (13e) at two corners. In the panel 12a' ' through-going cuts 13a have been applied and from below a cut-in 13b, so that a panel part 12b has been obtained which can be turned back to abutting the panel 12a. At the upper end a cut-in 13c has been applied from below, resulting in a panel 12c being obtained, which can also be turned back to abutting panel 12a. At the top the panel 12c is provided with a semi-circular recess 13d to limit the abutting surface against the television set to the areas situated on both sides of that recess. In figure 4B it can be seen that the basis part 12a' and the panel 12c have been pre-compressed to a thickness of d5, but that the panel part 12a'' from a line in extension of the line 13b to the line 13c is gradually increasingly compressed, from a thickness d5 to a thickness d6. The filling pieces 2, 3 and 4 shown in figures 2A, B, 3A, B and 4A, B, in the blank-form depicted in figure 1 are supplied to a manufacturer of the television set, in a pre-compressed, cut in and cut through state. The moment the television set has to packed in a cardboard box, schematically depicted in figures 5A and 5B, the filling pieces required for the packaging are put up by folding them about the line areas situated opposite the cut-ins in the yet undamaged cover plate of the honeycomb panel material. The filling pieces 3 and 4 are then placed in the box 20 first, with panel 12c still upright. Subsequently the television 21 is placed in the box, which then will come to rest on the priorly folded- in panel 12b and on the panels lOd, lOe and lOf, the panels lOe offering support to ribs at the bottom side of the television and the recesses lOf being adjusted to the specific shape of the legs of the television set 21. Finally the filling pieces 2 that then have just been put up are placed on the television set 21 and partly between the television set and the wall of the box, and the panel 12c is turned back, after which the box 20 can be closed. The filling pieces 2 and 3 nearly leave the entire screen of the television set 21 free, because of which in case of a fall on a floor with the plane of the box 20 lying just in front of the screen, irregularities in that floor cannot cause peak load on the screen. The load is received there and absorbed where it has to be and where, in view of the construction of the object, in this case a television, it can be. The utmost vertex areas of the box 20 are moreover at a distance from the honeycomb plate material of the filling pieces 2, 3 and 4. The vertex areas of the box therefore all form a pre-fail zone, in which a first portion of the falling force is absorbed. In the above-mentioned example the honeycomb panel 1 may have an initial thickness of 50mm. The cell diameter, that is to say the diameter of the inscribed circle of the honeycomb-shaped cells of the core material, can be 13mm. Also see figure 9, in which is depicted a cross-section in detail at the location of the cut-in 13c of filling piece 4 of the figures 4A and 4D. The core material consists of strips 30, which in a top area and in the bottom area 30b, respectively, are attached to a top cover plate 25 and a bottom cover plate 26. The material of which the strips are made may be kraftpaper with a mass of 150 g/m 2 . The cover plates 25 and 26 may have been made of paper with a mass of 300g/m 2 . On the top cover layer 25 another layer 27 of HPDE has been applied, with a mass of for instance 20 g/m 2 . This layer of polyethene is particularly applied to the surfaces of the filling pieces 2 and 3, which will be in contact with the object that is to be packed. In figure 9 it can be seen that the honeycomb plate depicted there, has been cut in at the location 13c to near the bottom cover plate 26, but that the panel has also been pre-loaded, so that the end areas 30a and 30b have been deformed by buckling, because of which, when loading the panel, a peak load in the force deformation diagram is prevented. During pre-compressing and cutting in, the panel 12c is thus compressed to a thickness of d5 and the panel portion 12a' ' situated at the other side of the cut-in 13c is further compressed to a smallest thickness of d6. In a given example the thickness dl-d6 mentioned can be 35mm, 20mm, 35mm, 40mm, 40mm and 20mm respectively. The portion lOf has a thickness of 30mm. The packed television shown in figures 5A and 5B is a 20 inch television and the size of the ribs of the box, measured internally, are 560mm for the bottom plane and the top plane and 505mm for the upright ribs. Of such a packaging assembly it has appeared that it can stand standard falling tests, like the one of the Deutsche Bun- despost, very well. The thickness and place of the filling pieces is determined here in relation to the mass of the television, the fragility (how many times can the television stand the gravity) or G-value of the falling height according to the test protocol . The sizes of the panel 1 in figure 1 are 1290mm by 560mm here. The buffers - the filling pieces - are applied there where the largest thrust energy has to be absorbed, that is to say in front, around the screen area of the TV, in par- ticular the corners . The honeycomb pieces by energy adsorption/deformation take care of a packaging fallen on a floor not bouncing up and coming down again. An alternative packaging for a television with another shape is depicted in figure 6. Here four column-shaped filling pieces 102 are placed around the television 121 in the box 120. Here as well all corners have been left free again. As can be seen in figure 7, the corner filling piece 102 has been built from a panel 103a, which is connected to panel 103f via a folding and cut-in line 104a. From in the honeycomb panel from which the panels 103a and 103f are cut adjacent material a further strip has been cut, which consists of panels 103b, 103c, 103d and 103e, which are connected to one another by means of cut-in and folding lines 104b, 104c and 104d, respectively. At the location of packaging the panel 103f is turned back to a position perpendicular with respect to the panel 103a, and the panel 103e is glued to the inner side of panel 103f, whereas the edges of the panels 103d, 103c and 103b are glued to the inner surface of the panel 103d. When packaging, two filling pieces 102, which are situated on the same side, are then placed in the box 120 first, subsequently the television 121 is placed thereon and after that the remaining two filling pieces 102 are put in the box. In figure 6 it can clearly be seen that the television is supported to all sides by the filling pieces of honeycomb panel, the television being supported on the rear side by abutting the panels 103c, which transfer the force to the rear wall and rear corners via panel 103b. In figure 8A and 8B two alternative embodiments of the filling piece 102 are depicted, in unfolded and in put-up position, respectively. The filling piece 202 is made from a substantially rectangular blank, which may be cut from one rectangular plate with the other corner pieces 202. The filling piece 202 of figure 8A comprises a main panel 203a which is connected to panel 203b by means of folding line 204a. The panel 203a is furthermore connected to panel 203c by means of a folding line 204b, which panel is connected to panels 203d and 203e by means of folding lines 204c and 204d, which panels are separated from panel 203c by means of through cuts. The main panel 203a is furthermore connected to panel 203f by means of folding line 204e. The folding lines have been obtained by cutting in to the cover plate situated on the other side. The edge 205 makes an angle of 60° with the edge 206. When putting up the filling piece 202 the panel 203b is folded against the main panel 203a, and the panels 203c and f are folded upright, under a right angle with respect to panel 203a. The panel 203d is placed abutting the edge 205, and the panel 203e abutting the panel 203f. In figure 8B a filling piece 202' is shown, which cor- responds to the filling piece 202 but in which the edge 205 continues until in the wider main panel 203a' . The thickness of the panels 203a, 203b, 203c and 203d is 35mm and of the panels 203e and 203f is 30mm. The thickness of the basis plate material was 50mm. In figure 8C the packaging 220 is shown, with television 221 and filling pieces 202 and 202'. The forces are transferred to the rear wall of the television, by means of panel 203d and panel 203b. Alternatively as shown in figure 8D, the filling piece 202'' can be provided with an extra panel 203g, which by means of folding line 204f can be turned back against panel 203a. By means of double folding line 204a'' panel 203b can then be turned on top of there. The packaging assembly 300 which has been depicted in figure 10 comprises a schematically depicted cardboard box 301, on the inner walls of which honeycomb panel-shaped filling pieces 302, 303, 304 and 305 have been adhered. This packaging assembly 300 is meant for packaging a TV, in which the filling pieces 302, 303 cut from the same panel consist of three parts which by means of folding lines are connected to one another and engage about the corners of the screen side of the TV. The filling pieces or blocks 305 protect and keep the bottom rear side of the TV at a distance from the bottom plane of the box 301 and the blocks 304 give protection for the rear side of the TV. The filling pieces have been made of cellulose material, and can therefore be recycled with the box as a whole. The filling piece set 402 for packaging assembly 400 in figure 13A, B depicted in figure 11A, comprises two relatively thin honeycomb panels 404, 405 which are con- nected to one another by means of folding line 404a. On the portion 404 honeycomb-shaped filling pieces 407 and 409 are attached and on the portion 405 honeycomb-shaped filling pieces 406 and 408 are attached. The portion 405 is extended by portion 410, which is connected thereto by two-sided constricted folding line 410a. The portion 410 has a obliquely running top surface 410b, as can be seen in figure llC. The filling piece set 403 depicted in figure 12A consists of one relatively thin honeycomb plate 411, 414, 415, in which some cutting lines or folding lines have been ap- plied and on which some buffer or filling pieces of honeycomb panel are adhered. The portions 415 and 416 are separated from one another by means of folding line 416a (see detail) . The portions 411 and 415 are separated from one another by means of a through-going cutting line 415b. The portions 414 and 415 are separated from one another by means of a folding line 415a, which has also been depicted in detail, and the portions 411 and 414 by means of a cutting line 414a. On the sides, recesses 412 have been made in the panel 411, of which the function will be elucidated below. To the panel 414, 411 a strip-shaped filling piece 413 has been adhered. To the portion 414 two filling pieces 417 have been adhered and to the portion 411 two filling pieces 418 have been adhered. In figures 13A and 13B it is schematically depicted how the TV T has been accommodated in the packaging assembly with the filling pieces of the figures 11A-C and 12A, B. It has to be noted here that besides the filling piece set of figure 11A-C, a mirror-symmetrically-shaped filling piece set has been applied, which has been given the same reference numbers here. The portions 404, 405 rest with their bottom edge on the plate portion 411. The blocks 406 reach into the recesses 412. It can be seen that the filling pieces 406-409 are situated between the connection and stiffening plates 404, 405 and the walls of the cardboard box 401. It can furthermore be seen that the plate portion 411, 416 is situated at a distance from the bottom side of the box, is supported by filing pieces 413 and 418 and is fittingly accommodated in the box 401. From the portions 411, 416 the portion 415 reaches obli- quely upwards, to merge in the portion 414 which abuts the rear side of the box in surface to surface contact and reaches to the top side of the box. Thus one has been able to simply unfold simple frames on which the filling pieces have been applied and to place them in the opened box, the next step in packaging only entailing the placing of the TV set T, possibly in a foil bag, and the closing of the box after that, possibly after manuals and the like have been placed in one of the many slit spaces, left open by the filling pieces according to the invention, between the TV and the box wall. A principally comparable approach can be found in the packaging assembly of the figures 14-16. In figure 14A and 14B the filling piece set 502 has been depicted, which comprises a relatively thin honeycomb-shaped plate with portions 504, 506 and 507, in which the portions 504 and 505 have been separated from one another by means of a cutting line 504d and the portions 507 and 504 have been separated from one another by means of cutting lines 504c and by means of folding lines 504a. The portion 507 furthermore comprises a portion 520, which by means of folding lines 504b has been connected thereto. To the portion 405 two honeycomb-shaped filling pieces 508 have been adhered and to the portion 504 two honeycomb-shaped filling pieces 509 and 510 have been adhered. The filling piece 503 depicted in the figures 15A-15C comprises two relatively thin honeycomb-shaped panel portions 511, 512 which have been connected to one another by means of folding line 511a. To the panel portion 511 two honeycomb-shaped filling pieces 513 and 516 have been applied and to the plate portion 512 two honeycomb-shaped blocks 514 and 515 have been adhered. The panel portion 511 has been extended with portion 518, which has been connected thereto by means of V-shaped folding line 517a. To the portion 518 another honeycomb-shaped block has been adhered. When packaging a TV set, first the filling piece 502 is put up, in which the arch formed by the portions 506, 507 is folded upwards about the folding line 504a and the portion 504 is folded downwards about folding line 505a. The filling piece set 502 is then fittingly placed in the box, the filling pieces 510 and 509 coming to rest on the bottom of the box. The portion 504 therefore extends at a distance of the bottom of the box, from the front to the rear. The portion 505 rests against the rear of the box with the blocks 508. The upper edge of the arch 506, 507 almost comes to lie in the top rib of the box. At the front of the TV set the filling piece sets 503 are erected in folded state, as depicted in the figures 16. The panel portion 512 here reaches below the plate portion 504, to the bottom of the box. The panel portion 511 is supported on panel portion 504. The inner edges of the portions 507 and the downward flaps 520 promote the placing of the TV. (AF/NG 5355)
