  • Publication number: 20070172631
    Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-chambered dividing element (1) for a transport container (2) made of a plurality of tracks (3) which are layered in a manner adjacent to each other or on top of each other. Adjacent tracks are connected to each other by means of common contact surfaces (4) at predetermined distances, the tracks (3) are made of flexible material, and the common contact surfaces (4) or two given, directly connected tracks (3) are arranged in an offset manner in relation to the contact surfaces (4) of each of said tricks (3) with one respective subsequent track on a track plane, such that the dividing element (1) can be arranged, hung or tensed in such a manner that it comprises flexible chambers (5) in the arranged, hung or tensed state. The invention also relates to a method for the production of said type of dividing element.

  • Patent number: 7247132
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a flexible holding system for transporting piece goods, consisting of an outer envelope (1, 1?, 1?, 1??, 1??) and intermediate elements (2) which each consist of a flexible web material, which are connected to one another such that compartments (3, 3?, 3?, 3??, 3??) are formed within the envelope (1, 1?, 1?, 1??, 1??). In order to provide a process for the cost-favorable and time-saving production of a flexible holding system, it is proposed according to the invention that firstly a long continuous tubular envelope (1, 1?, 1?, 1??, 1??) with intermediate elements (13, 14, 2?, 13??, 14??, 19??) is made which is then divided transversely to the tube axis into at least two parts, so that at least two flexible holding systems result.

  • Patent number: 6679378
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for storing and transporting flat, substantially two-dimensional objects (10). Said device comprises a frame or the like, in which pouches (1) with substantially U-shaped cross sections are suspended and into each of which a corresponding object (10) can be inserted. The aim of the invention is to provide a device with the above-mentioned features which substantially prevents the objects accommodated in the U-shaped pouches from tilting or slipping out of said pouches. To this end, the pouches are provided with devices (5, 20) which prevent the objects (10) from tilting or being displaced in the pouches to the front or the rear without impeding the loading or unloading of the pouches (1) by restricting the free cross section of loading.
