Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shock absorbing lining for a transport container, being particularly adapted for transportation of vitreous items, in particular of vitreous bodies for cartridges to be filled with a liquid medicament.
  • vitreous bodies e.g. made of glass are commonly used for packaging of liquid medicaments.
  • the bodies Prior or during bottling of the medicament into such vitreous bodies, the bodies, typically of tubular shape have to be transported in a reliable, safe and unharmful way.
  • cracking and disintegration of such vitreous packaging units has to be prevented.
  • Document DE 103 39 830 A1 already discloses a transport container made of plastic having an inner lining on a bottom portion and its side walls. There, the lining is composed of a liquid absorbing foam.
  • the problem may arise, that the bodies or cartridges 32 arranged in an upright orientation on a bottom wall 28 of a transport container 40 mutually abut with each other in particular with a bulged portion 36 located at a proximal end of the vitreous body 32.
  • the items or bodies 32 are in direct contact with each other by way their bulged portions 36.
  • the bulged portions 36 of items 32 arranged adjacent a rigid side wall 38 of the transport container 40 get in close or direct contact with said side wall portion 38.

  • an undulation the vertical position of contact points between the shock absorbing element and adjacently arranged transport items may vary.
  • mechanical impact or shock being incident to the side wall of the transport container may distribute or dissipate to a multiplicity of adjacently arranged transport items at different vertical positions.
