Title: Laminate packaging
Inventor: SCHITTER LEONHARD
IPC: B65D5/44
Filed: 2005-08-12
Abstract: The invention relates to stacks of panels (1), in particular, laminated panels, packaged for transport or storage. Said stack comprises several coated panels, for example, laminated panels, panels made from plywood, fibreboard or wood panels. The stack further comprises a packaging, with at least one strap (3), going around the stack and/or at least one retainer element (2), on the front side of the stack for fixing the panels. For example, the strap or the retainer element are provided in addition to further packaging elements, such as shrink-wrap or cardboard completely or partly enclosing the panels. The retainer element can, for example, be fixed to the stack and enclose the front face of the stack. By means of both measures, either individually or in combination, the withdrawal and removal of single panels from the stack is hindered or prevented. For example the strap can run perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the panels. The strap can also be of elastic embodiment and applied such as to hold the individual panels tight. In a further embodiment, the strap lies so tightly on the stack that on withdrawing a panel, in particular, the outer panel, said strap is tipped in the longitudinal direction of the stack and thus tightens preventing a further withdrawal. By arrangement of the strap perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the stack, the possibility of stacking several stacks on top of each other is not affected.
