Abstract
Abstract A plastic packing container for the single packing of goods susceptible to shock, in particular ammunition, wherein the packing container consists of an inner container and an outer container adapted to be closed by a lid, and wherein said outer container is in contact with the inner container in limited areas only so that cavities are formed between the outer container and the inner container, whereby the forces generated upon impact or fall of the loaded plastics packing container, are absorbed by an elastic deformation of the wall portions of the outer container and the inner container which wall portions define the cavities.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
A plastic packing container for individually packing goods susceptible to shock, the packing container comprising an inner container and an outer container, said outer container being provided with closure means, said inner container being adapted to the outer shape of the goods to be packed, said inner and said outer container comprising an elastically deformable plastic material, said outer container having a sustantially larger diameter than the outer diameter of the inner container and having corrugations forming wall portions to support the inner container such that said inner container is essentially surrounded by cavities formed by wall portions of said inner container and said outer container, so that a local support in only restricted areas is formed between said inner container and said outer container whereby the forces generated upon impact or fall are absorbed by an elastic deformation of the walls defining said cavities.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
145 words
A plastic packing container for individually packing goods susceptible to shock, the packing container comprising an inner container and an outer container, said outer container being provided with closure means, said inner container being adapted to the outer shape of the goods to be packed, said inner and said outer container comprising an elastically deformable plastic material, said outer container having a sustantially larger diameter than the outer diameter of the inner container and having corrugations forming wall portions to support the inner container such that said inner container is essentially surrounded by cavities formed by wall portions of said inner container and said outer container, so that a local support in only restricted areas is formed between said inner container and said outer container whereby the forces generated upon impact or fall are absorbed by an elastic deformation of the walls defining said cavities.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
A packing container as claimed in claim 1, wherein a shaft portion of the inner container is corrugated so that, in this area, a line or point contact only is established between the packed article and the inner container.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
A packing container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the inner container is provided with a balloon-shaped portion within which the tip of the packed article, for instance the tip of a projectile, ends when the article to be packed is inserted into the inner container.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
A packing container as claimed in claim 1, wherein that inner container comprises a conical cylindrical neck portion between a shaft portion of the inner container and a balloon-shaped portion for housing the tip of an article to be packed.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
17 words
A packing container as claimed in claim 1, wherein said outer container is provided with radial corrugations.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
A packing container as claimed in claim 5, wherein the corrugations are reinforced by transverse webs, the inner surface defined by said webs serving to center said inner containers.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
20 words
A packing container as claimed in claim 6, wherein the transverse webs are provided with holes to receive carrying means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
51 words
A packing container as claimed in claim 1, wherein said closure means is a lid of said outer container, and wherein said lid is provided at its inside with an angular web of such outline that a preferably hollow closed damping ring can be snap-fitted, shrunk or cemented on said web.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
35 words
A packing container as claimed in claim 1, wherein said closure means is a lid of that outer container, and wherein said lid comprises an air evacuation device known per se in its lid surface.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
55 words
A packing container as claimed in claim 1, wherein said closure means is a lid of said outer container, and wherein said lid is connected to said outer container by means of a clamping ring, and wherein a bead is provided upon the outer container to receive said clamping ring when said lid is removed.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
44 words
A packing container as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that said outer container is provided with stacking faces which are supported mutually by tangential webs, and wherein elements preventing dislocation of the stacked containers to each other are arranged on said stacking faces.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
25 words
A packing container as claimed in claim 1, characterized in, that said inner container and said outer container consist of an extrusion blow moldable material.
