Packaging part for securing an item to be packed in an outer packaging
A packaging part ( 1 ) for securing an item to be packaged in an outer packaging, has at least one supporting body ( 2, 16 ) that acts as a decoupling element. The supporting body is formed as a hollow body and projects from a bearing base. The supporting body ( 2, 16 ) has a base with a relatively large cross-section in the area of the bearing base and tapers in a direction away from the bearing base. The supporting body ( 2, 16 ) further has in its shell surface at least one line of weakness ( 14 ) that divides the supporting body into an upper part and a lower part. The upper part of the supporting body ( 2, 16 ) can be pressed along the line of weakness ( 14 ), preferably completely, into the lower part under load.
1. A mat-shaped insert ( 15 ) for securing an item to be packaged in an outer packaging, comprising:
a plurality of supporting bodies ( 2 , 16 ) that act as decoupling elements,
wherein each supporting body ( 2 , 16 ) of the plurality of supporting bodies ( 2 , 16 ) is formed as a hollow body that projects from a bearing base, and
wherein each supporting body ( 2 , 16 ) has
a base cross-section in an area of the bearing base and tapers in a direction away from the bearing base; and
a line of weakness ( 14 ) arranged in a shell surface of the supporting body ( 2 , 16 ) that divides the supporting body into an upper part and a lower part,
wherein the upper part of each supporting body ( 2 , 16 ) is configured to be pressed along the line of weakness ( 14 ) into the lower part under load,
wherein the plurality of supporting bodies ( 2 , 16 ) are arranged to form the mat-shaped insert ( 15 ), each supporting body having a perforated beveled surface ( 6 ) and/or having beveled surfaces ( 6 ) of different inclination, and
wherein the plurality of supporting bodies ( 2 , 16 ) are arranged alternately rotated by 180° with respect to one another about an axis that is perpendicular with respect to the bearing base.
2. The mat-shaped insert according to claim 1 ,
wherein the supporting bodies ( 2 , 16 ) are arranged relative to one another in such a manner that the perforated beveled surfaces ( 6 ) of adjacent supporting bodies ( 2 , 16 ) are aligned in rows or columns in opposite directions.
3. The mat-shaped insert according to claim 1 ,
wherein the mat-shaped insert ( 15 ) has a circumferential edge that is formed by supporting bodies ( 16 ) that are less flexible to deformation under load than other supporting bodies ( 2 ).
4. The mat-shaped insert according to claim 3 ,
wherein the supporting bodies that form the circumferential edge are formed to be at least partially closed without a cutout in their shell surfaces.
5. The mat-shaped insert according to claim 1 ,
wherein a hollow body volume of the lower part of each supporting body ( 2 , 16 ) is dimensioned such that the lower part of each supporting body ( 2 , 16 ) can completely accommodate a volume of the upper part.
6. The mat-shaped insert according to claim 1 ,
wherein the plurality of supporting bodies ( 2 , 16 ) are evenly spaced from one another.
7. The mat-shaped insert according to claim 1 ,
wherein each supporting body ( 2 , 16 ) has a geometry selected from the group consisting of a dome-shaped geometry, a cusp-shaped geometry, a cupola-shaped geometry, a cone-shaped geometry, a truncated cone-shaped geometry, a pyramid-shaped geometry, a truncated pyramid-shaped geometry, a prism-shaped geometry, a polyhedron-shaped geometry, a round geometry, and an oval geometry.
8. The mat-shaped insert according to claim 1 ,
wherein the line of weakness ( 14 ) is formed by a shoulder ( 8 ), an edge, or a bend in the shell surface of each supporting body ( 2 , 16 ).
9. The mat-shaped insert according to claim 1 ,
wherein the line of weakness ( 14 ) is formed by a double bend in the shell surface of each supporting body ( 2 , 16 ).
10. The mat-shaped insert according to claim 1 ,
wherein the shell surface or part of shell surface of the each supporting body ( 2 , 16 ) is perforated.
11. The mat-shaped insert packaging part according to claim 10 ,
wherein a cutout ( 7 ) in the shell surface of each supporting body ( 2 , 16 ) extends in a plane running obliquely with respect to the bearing base.
12. The mat-shaped insert according to claim 1 ,
wherein the mat-shaped insert it is formed as a cast part from papier mâché, cardboard, molded fiber, plastic, a polymer foam, or a combination thereof.
13. The mat-shaped insert according to claim 1 ,
wherein each supporting body ( 2 , 16 ) is shaped as a polyhedron and wherein the shell surface comprises a plurality of beveled surfaces ( 6 ), and
wherein one of the beveled surfaces ( 6 ) of the polyhedron is inclined in an angular range of between 40° and 80° with respect to a plane of the bearing base.
14. The mat-shaped insert according to claim 13 ,
wherein the one of the beveled surfaces ( 6 ) of the supporting body ( 2 , 16 ) has a different inclination with respect to the plane of the bearing base than another one of the beveled surfaces ( 6 ) of the supporting body ( 2 , 16 ).
