Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
226 words
A packing and transport device for bottles, flasks, and jars as articles to be held thereon, comprising a first primary transport pallet with primary platform and two rows of primary support feet, at least two secondary pallets, said secondary pallets being placed side-by-side to define a junction interface between said articles on each said secondary pallet, each said secondary pallet comprising a secondary platform for receiving said articles, and each pallet having first and second rows of secondary support feet resting on the primary platform, said first row of secondary support feet being placed under the secondary platform and spaced inwardly from a first edge of said secondary platform opposite said junction interface to define along said first edge a free edge zone on said secondary platform, and a heat shrinkable material film cover enveloping the whole of said articles for holding said articles in position on the secondary pallets, said cover being fixed to said secondary pallets on the free edge zones of their respective secondary platforms, said heat shrinkable film further comprising, for holding said articles in position on each of said secondary pallets, individual folded holding zones disposed substantially along the function interface which, when said cover is slit along the length of said junction interface and said secondary pallets separated, form tongues which hold said articles on each said respective secondary pallet.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
226 words
A packing and transport device for bottles, flasks, and jars as articles to be held thereon, comprising a first primary transport pallet with primary platform and two rows of primary support feet, at least two secondary pallets, said secondary pallets being placed side-by-side to define a junction interface between said articles on each said secondary pallet, each said secondary pallet comprising a secondary platform for receiving said articles, and each pallet having first and second rows of secondary support feet resting on the primary platform, said first row of secondary support feet being placed under the secondary platform and spaced inwardly from a first edge of said secondary platform opposite said junction interface to define along said first edge a free edge zone on said secondary platform, and a heat shrinkable material film cover enveloping the whole of said articles for holding said articles in position on the secondary pallets, said cover being fixed to said secondary pallets on the free edge zones of their respective secondary platforms, said heat shrinkable film further comprising, for holding said articles in position on each of said secondary pallets, individual folded holding zones disposed substantially along the function interface which, when said cover is slit along the length of said junction interface and said secondary pallets separated, form tongues which hold said articles on each said respective secondary pallet.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the zones for holding said articles carried by each of said secondary pallets extend continuously over the top of the cover along a line extending substantially in the plane of the interface and substantially over the whole length of the top of the cover measured parallel to said plane.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
54 words
The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the holding zones are spaced along a line extending on the top of the cover, substantially in the plane of the interface of the articles carried by said secondary pallets, substantially over the whole length of the top of the cover measured parallel to said plane.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words
The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the heat shrinkable material film cover is also fixed to at least one of the secondary pallets on an edge of the platform of said secondary pallet, by stapling or bonding, said fixing taking place on said secondary pallet near said interface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
54 words
The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second row of secondary support feet is disposed substantially along a second edge of said secondary pallet opposite to said first edge and the distance from said first edge to said first row of each of said secondary pallets is about 2 to 15 cm.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
44 words
The device of claim 1, wherein said folded holding zones are formed by the application of force to the top of said cover specifically along a portion a top surface of said film cover corresponding to said interface while heat shrinking said film cover.
