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 packaging part ( 1 ) for securing an item to be packaged in an outer packaging, comprising:
a supporting body ( 2 , 16 ) that acts as a decoupling element,
wherein the supporting body ( 2 , 16 ) is formed as a hollow body that projects from a bearing base, and
wherein the 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
wherein a line of weakness ( 14 ) is arranged in a shell surface of the supporting body ( 2 , 16 ) that divides the supporting body into an upper part and a lower part, and
wherein the upper part of the supporting body ( 2 , 16 ) is configured to buckle along the line of weakness ( 14 ) into the lower part under load, and
wherein the line of weakness ( 14 ) is a predetermined buckling line and wherein the shell surface or part of the shell surface of the supporting body ( 2 , 16 ) comprises a cutout ( 7 ).
2. The packaging part according to claim 1 ,
wherein a hollow body volume of the lower part of the supporting body ( 2 , 16 ) is dimensioned such that the lower part of the supporting body ( 2 , 16 ) can completely accommodate a volume of the upper part.
3. The packaging part according to claim 1 ,
wherein the 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.
4. The packaging part 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 the supporting body ( 2 , 16 ).
5. The packaging part according to claim 1 ,
wherein the line of weakness ( 14 ) is formed by a double bend in the shell surface of supporting body ( 2 , 16 ).
6. The packaging part according to claim 1 , wherein the cutout ( 7 ) in the shell surface of the supporting body ( 2 , 16 ) extends in a plane running obliquely with respect to the bearing base.
7. The packaging part according to claim 1 ,
wherein the packaging part it is formed as a cast part from papier màché, cardboard, molded fiber, plastic, a polymer foam, or a combination thereof.
8. The packaging part according to claim 1 ,
wherein the supporting body 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.
9. The packaging part according to claim 8 ,
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 ).
