Definitions

  • the present invention relates to packaging for framed and unframed Single mirror.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide packaging for framed and unframed individual mirrors, the most break-proof packaging of the Single mirror ensures in all handling situations.
  • a packaging for framed and unframed is specified Single mirror, with a receptacle projecting on all sides of the single mirror, the one Has flat recess in which the individual mirror is received so that it held substantially coplanar with the surface closing the depression downward is, the recess is dimensioned so that between the boundary edges of the Depression and the individual mirror there is a distance.
  • This distance serves possible compensatory movements of the individual mirror as a result of a shock or impact to record.
  • the single mirror is thus floating.
  • the Compensatory movements are coplanar to the mirror plane. In this way, the Individual mirrors do not directly touch the boundary edges.
  • a counter bracket is provided that is placed on the individual mirror and the individual mirror in his middle (frameless) area in connection with a fastening holds and supports.
  • the packaging according to the invention which preferably consists of polystyrene, provides one all-round edging of the individual mirror in the recess. With the help of Counter bracket is only clamped and the sensitive glass of the individual mirror supported. The glass is preferably on the recessed surface.
  • the framework of the Individual mirror has no contact with the packaging. Due to the restraint of the The glass surface itself is evenly distributed when it hits the surface and does not lead to a one-sided local stress loading of the individual mirror surface or glass surface. In this way, the individual mirror is effectively secured against breakage.
  • a document holder is preferably provided which holds the individual mirror in its supports the central area opposite the recess surface.
  • This additional Document holder is only required for single mirrors where the frame is a has a greater thickness than the glass surface. This ensures that the individual mirror in its middle, unframed glass area lies flat on the recess surface. Otherwise, only the single mirror frame would rest on the recess surface, which is undesirable. Such is the case with a smooth frameless glass surface Document holder not required.
  • Knob-like elevations are preferably provided on the edge of the packaging. This nub-like elevations are thus provided outside the recess and lead to an additional handling safety, as they overturn the packaging support.
  • edges of the packaging are preferably rounded. So that is with a side Impact directed at a corner of the packaging further reduces the risk of breakage and the packaging can level more easily if the stacking is incorrect, without using a Edge to be able to pick up momentum. Instead, the packaging rolls if it is faulty Stack off and accelerate less.
  • FIG. 1a and b show a cross section and perspective view of a Embodiment of packaging according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 2a and b show a cross section and perspective view of another Embodiment of packaging according to the invention.
  • FIG. 3 shows a top view of the embodiment of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 1 and 3 The embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 3 is characterized by an essential rectangular packaging 2 made of plastic.
  • This packaging is in one inner area equipped with a recess 4, which is 1-10 cm deep and in their Bottom area forms a flat flat recess surface 6.
  • the depression area is like this formed that it takes up commercially available individual mirrors and thereby over the Single mirror frame edge protrudes on all sides. A protrusion of ⁇ 6 cm is sufficient.
  • On the recess surface 6 becomes an individual mirror 8 (in the present case a frameless one Single mirror) placed in such a way that its mirror surface is flat on the recess surface lies on.
  • a counter bracket 10 in the form of a rectangular plate provided on a central area of the glass surface of the Single mirror is placed and with drawstrings (not shown) on the receptacle 2 is attached. In this way, the counter bracket 10 against the single mirror surface and pressed against the recess surface 6, thereby effectively supporting the Glass surface of the single mirror is reached.
  • a plurality of nub-like elevations 18 are provided, which lead to an additional Lead handling safety.
  • the edges of the packaging are preferably rounded.
  • FIG. 2 shows a further embodiment of the packaging according to the invention.
  • the frame 12 of the individual mirror projects beyond the glass surface (in thickness). On this would be a direct support of the glass surface of the individual mirror on the Depression area 6 'impossible.
  • a flat document holder plate-shaped holder 14 is provided, which between the recess surface 6 'and Single mirror 8 'is introduced. It leads to the effective support of the individual mirror in the middle unframed area. In this way, an edition of Single mirror frame 12 avoided in the recess surface 6 '.
  • the packaging according to the invention is distinguished from conventional ones Packaging also largely in breakproof of the packed individual mirrors difficult handling situations, i.e. when striking, throwing, hitting and overturning.
  • the shock is cushioned and does not lead to a one-sided local Applying tension to the mirror surface.
  • the single mirror surface is effective clamped.
  • the mirror which is caused by the tension of the is held and slowed down with the drawstring counter bracket 10, 10 ' move in the direction of the impact, which is equivalent to a floating suspension. Due to the design-related slowdown, the mirror can stop, before it comes into contact with a corner or side of the packaging 2,2 '.
