Packaging bolster, container for such bolster and method of packing using such bolster

摘要

The invention concerns the field of packaging solid but fragile products. …??One of its advantages is that it allows a very good application of robotics to the packaging process and another advantage is that of considerably reducing storage volumes. For these purposes, the bolster is manufactured in a continuous form and only its desired length (8) is extracted in such a way that the rest of the bolster remains in a container (9) where it is held compressed before its use. …??During packaging, the product (15) to be packaged is disposed by gravity in a groove (8a) of the bolster (8) and the assembly is inserted into a case (13). The bolster (8) folds on itself and more or less completely surrounds the product (15) along the envisaged bolster length. …IMAGE…
