Description

The The invention relates to a package for receiving floor tiles, especially floor panels with a laminate surface or parquet boards, with a bottom part or a cover part with a contour that substantially matches the contour of the floor tiles equivalent.

From the DE 20 2004 019 391 U1 a cardboard transport packaging for receiving floor panels with a laminate surface with longitudinal side parts is known, with which the panels can be enclosed from five sides. To protect the floor panels, the cardboard packaging is completely surrounded by a transparent plastic film, for which a shrink film is usually used, with which the transport packaging is welded.

Around To lay the panels, the shrink film has to be severed Panels taken from the transport packaging made of cardboard and the panels be connected to each other. After the panels have been laid, have to the shrink wrap and the carton are discarded.

In Germany exist for this Collection systems, which receive paper, cardboard and cardboard. The Groupage is in most cases one Recyclable material supplied. The usually high-quality packaging board is with others Paper types mixed and processed into new products. A reuse of the original one Cartons is not provided.

In countries that do not have organized collection and recycling systems the packaging either deposited or thermally recycled. A Recycling is not provided.

The The consequence of both systems is that resources are not optimally utilized become. About that In addition, the user of flooring panels an elevated one Effort for the transport of the packaging to the collection systems. Likewise must while the laying of the floor tiles or floor panels the respective packaging is removed from the work area, what kind of a fast installation detrimental is.

DE 198 22 339 A1 describes a packaging unit for a product, in particular for a floor covering with a bottom part, two side parts and a cover part, which can be used as a support material for the floor panels. The contour of the lid part and the bottom part substantially corresponds to the contour of the floor covering plates.

outgoing From this prior art, the invention is based on the object to provide a transport packaging with which the above Disadvantages are avoided.

According to the invention this Task solved by that the packaging of a sound-absorbing and / or impact sound insulating material so that the packaging has a secondary benefit as a footfall pad supplied can be.

This On the one hand has the advantage that no effort in the disposal the packaging must be plugged, on the other hand no need Footfall mats for relining the floor tiles separately purchased to minimize footfall and footfall noise. Also is due to the omission of a factory-applied impact sound layer under the floor tiles the transport height The packaging reduces since flooring panels are without applied Impact sound insulation at same square footage floor have a lower transport volume. This has the consequence that on the one hand, the package height is reduced and on the other hand, the packaging is not disposed of consuming or needs to be recycled.

Finally eliminated by the design of the packaging as impact sound insulation or Trittschalldämpung a corresponding application of a footfall sound insulation layer on the underside of the floor covering plate, whereby the floor tiles, especially floor panels or parquet panels cheaper are to produce.

The Packaged panels are replaced by the impact sound insulation and / or damping during the Transportes protected, so that shipping-related damage be minimized. Between the packaging sections can more Side parts may be arranged, which have fold lines with the packaging sections connected so as to wrap the stacked floor tiles to enable. The side parts have a width which is around the thickness of the packaging material is increased from one packaging section to the next.

A Development of the invention provides that the contour of the floor or lid part is substantially rectangular and at least a long side a side part connects, which is connected to the bottom or lid part via a fold line. This makes it possible the one above the other stacked floor tiles or floor panels at least three-sided or four-sided to wrap and a very good protective function to provide through the impact sound mat.

To discover the decor of the floor panels NEN, in the bottom or lid part in particular rectangular, oval, slot-shaped or round openings designed to allow a buyer a look at the existing decor or on the existing surface of the floor tiles.

advantageously, is the packaging of a wood fiber mat, a foam material, a plastic or a rubber material designed to optimal impact sound insulation or dampenings to achieve. At the same time, such materials serve as good protection against transport damage.

The Packaging has an area in the expanded state, the area the packed flooring panels at least matches to ensure that sufficient footfall sound insulation material for the laid floor surface is present. To guarantee For good transport protection, the packaging surrounds the floor tiles at least three-sided, preferably five-sided, with the top side the floor tiles can stay free to represent the decor. It is also possible that Flooring boards enclose on all sides, for optimum protection during to provide transport. The packaging can be printed or be wrapped in a banderole, on the product information or a laying instructions are printed.

To the Protection against moisture, the packaging with a plastic film, in particular a shrink film to be sheathed.

In the packaging can Folding lines should be provided to allow folding of the package to the size of the floor tiles or a fold over each other stacked floor tiles to facilitate around.

The Packaging can be folded along the fold lines and multi-layered, at least at the top or bottom of the floor tiles be arranged so as to have a sufficient surface for the impact sound insulation or Impact noise insulation provide. If a bottom part is used and are six floor tiles provided in a package, in addition to the bottom part five more Provided sections which correspond substantially to the contour of the floor tiles, so for each floor tile one Sound-proofing underlay is available. In the packaging can also Sollrisslinien, in particular perforations be introduced to a separation of the packaging sections or unnecessary packaging parts to facilitate. These Sollrisslinien can correspond to the fold lines.

At at least one side part of a lid or bottom part close more packaging sections, which are essentially the contour having the bottom or lid part and each other via fold lines connected so that a substantially closed surface, the the area the floor tiles to be laid corresponds, is formed by the unfolded packaging.

The The invention also relates to a floorcovering stack a package as described above.

following Be exemplary embodiments closer to the figures explained. Like reference numerals designate like components or elements. Show it:

1 A blank of a package with packaging sections to be folded on each other;

2 A blank of packaging for wrapping a floorboard stack; such as

3 - a blank for six-sided packaging.

In the 1 is a blank or a processing of a package, in particular transport packaging of a sound-absorbing and / or impact sound insulating material shown with a cover part 1 , on whose long sides, side panels 2 . 3 adjoin the fold lines 12 . 13 with the lid part 1 are connected. In the lid part 1 are slot-shaped recesses 8th designed to at least partially visible to the top of a floor covering plate, not shown. At the front sides of the cover part 1 are frontal parts 9 formed from also impact sound absorbing or -dämmendem material and fastened umschlagbar via corresponding fold lines. These frontal parts 9 serve to protect the front sides of the floor tiles.

The lid part 1 has a contour 10 on, which is substantially the contour of the floor covering panels, not shown, for example, floor panels made of a wood material or parquet panels exists. On a side panel 3 close several, more packaging sections 4 . 5 . 6 . 7 on, over the fold lines 34 . 45 . 56 . 67 connected to each other, so that a substantially closed surface made of a sound-absorbing or damping material after unfolding of the packaging is present. Advantageously, the other packaging sections 4 . 5 . 6 . 7 accordion-like folded and arranged on the underside of the packaging or the floor covering stack. The An number of other packaging sections 4 . 5 . 6 . 7 depends on the number of packaged Bodenbe lagplatten and is such that it corresponds to the number of packaged flooring panels. This ensures that sufficient impact sound insulation material is available to provide the laid floor with impact sound insulation. The fold lines 34 . 45 . 56 . 67 can also be designed as Sollrisslinien to allow, if necessary, a facilitated cutting of the impact sound pad to the conditions of the room in which the floor is to be laid. The other packaging sections 4 . 5 . 6 . 7 each have the contour of the packaged floor tiles. If different lengths or dimensions of the floor covering plates are arranged in a packaging, predetermined tear lines can be formed in such a way that the dimensions are met, so that a insulating material section can be separated for each plate size. The contour 10 of the lid or floor parts 1 then depends on the contour of the floorboard stack to be packaged.

In the packaged state, the stacked floor tiles are enclosed on all sides, at the top of the lid part 1 , on the long sides by the side parts 2 . 3 , on the front sides by the front side parts 9 and at the bottom by the folded-over further packaging sections 4 . 5 . 6 . 7 , To provide protection against moisture, the package may be encased by a plastic film so that individual paving board stacks can be easily gripped and transported. Also, the package can be held together by one or more bands or bands. The packaging may be provided with an imprint, for example with product information or an installation instruction.

In the 2 a development or a blank of an alternative packaging is shown, wherein like reference numerals designate like elements. Notwithstanding the embodiment according to the 1 is on the side panel 3 then another side part 30 over a fold line 33 with the lid part 1 connected. At this further side part 30 closes over another fold line 34 another packaging section 4 on, which has a side panel 40 again with another packaging section 5 connected is. Between the respective further packaging sections 4 . 5 . 6 . 7 are so more side panels 40 . 50 . 60 arranged over fold lines 44 . 45 . 55 . 56 . 66 . 67 connected to the other packaging sections. Through these side parts 30 . 40 . 50 . 60 it is possible to wrap a stack of flooring panels, with the side panels 30 . 40 . 50 . 60 such that they take into account the increase in packaging size due to the further location of the packaging material. The width of the side panels 30 . 40 . 50 . 60 and the other packaging sections 5 . 6 . 7 Thus, each increases by the thickness of the packaging material or the impact sound insulation. Thus, it is possible to wrap the floorboard stack, with recesses 8th not only in the lid or bottom part 1 , but also in the respective subsequent, further packaging section 5 . 7 can be trained. Again, it is envisaged that the fold lines 12 . 13 . 33 . 34 . 44 . 45 . 55 . 56 . 66 . 67 can also be designed as Sollrisslinien to allow easy adaptation to the floor plan to be laid. The front side parts 9 can also be torn off and removed via break lines and protect the front sides of the floor tiles when packaged. The Sollrisslinien could also be formed crossing, so that rectangles or squares arise that can be torn or torn.

In the 3 a blank of a package for a six-sided covering of a floor covering stack is shown, in which a to a bottom part 1 adjoining side panel 2 a lid part 1' connects, in the packaged state either on one of the other packaging sections 4 . 5 . 6 . 7 or the floor tiles comes to rest. In the lid part 1' can be a recess 8th cut out or provided a print or sticker. Together with the front side parts 9 a complete serving can be achieved.

The packaging according to 1 . 2 and 3 can be made of wood fiber mats from large format plates, which is stamped by means of stamping tools a pattern. This pattern may include a folding scheme of the package wherein the large sized stamped plates are collapsed in a carton folder. The floor tiles are then placed in the package and possibly wrapped with the plastic film. If the packaging consists of a rubber material, this is delivered as a roll and also provided with punching lines with fold lines for easy folding.

The package is either wrapped several times around the floorboards or panels according to the embodiments so that the impact sound insulation covers the same area as the packaged floorboards or panels, alternatively it is folded on the underside or top of the floorboards. Also, a multiple folding of the other packaging sections 4 . 5 . 6 . 7 below the bottom part 1 done while the lid part 1' is folded in one layer on the floorboard stack. Then the package is packed in a shrink wrap.
