Abstract

The invention relates to a packaging which performs a passive flight motion, in particular a gliding and/or autorotation motion, during free fall. The invention is characterized in that the packaging has at least one wing ( 2 ), in particular at least one gliding wing and/or one rotor blade ( 2 ), and at least one accommodating space ( 1 ) for an object ( 3 ) to be packaged.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A packaging which performs a passive flight motion during free fall, wherein said motion is a gliding and/or autorotation motion, said packaging comprising at least one wing wherein said wing is at least one gliding wing and/or at least one rotor blade, and at least one accommodating space for an object to be packaged. 
     
     
         2 . The packaging according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the accommodating space along with the inserted object has a weight GA that is higher than a weight GR, wherein said weight GR is the weight of the wing or the rotor blade. 
     
     
         3 . The packaging according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the weight GA is a multiple of the weight GR, said multiple being in the range of approximately 1.5 to 15. 
     
     
         4 . The packaging according to  claim 2 , characterized in that the packaging is designed in several parts, with a separate wing and a separate accommodating space which are releasably or permanently connected to each other. 
     
     
         5 . The packaging according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the accommodating space is partially integrated in the wing. 
     
     
         6 . The packaging according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the accommodating space and/or the wing, is/are tight airtight and/or gastight. 
     
     
         7 . The packaging according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the packaging is comprised of at least two packaging halves which can be opened and closed via a hinge, a film hinge or another connecting element or are otherwise joined. 
     
     
         8 . The packaging according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the packaging is designed in one piece. 
     
     
         9 . The packaging according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the packaging, the accommodating space and/or the wing are made from a thin-walled, dimensionally stable material, said material including one or more of the following: biomaterial, textile materials, fabric materials, viscose materials, cellulose materials, starch, cornstarch, potato starch, foil, metal foil, plastic foil, paper foil, composite foil, hybrid materials, water soluble materials, compostable materials, biodegradable materials, rice, corn and gelatin. 
     
     
         10 . The packaging according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the packaging, the accommodating space and/or the wing are made from a vacuum shrink packaging, a blister packaging or another substantially dimensionally stable packaging. 
     
     
         11 . The packaging according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the packaging has an accommodating space for receiving a candy, a liquid, a powder, or another object having a given external dimension, wherein the accommodating space has at least approximately the same internal dimensions or the same internal diameter. 
     
     
         12 . The packaging according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the at least one wing and/or the at least one rotor blade protrudes outwardly from the accommodating space and has/have a length which is more than approximately 1.5 times the diameter of the accommodating space and/or a width which is at least one to two times the diameter of the accommodating space. 
     
     
         13 . The packaging according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the at least one wing, and/or the at least one rotor blade, sticks out sideways from the accommodating space. 
     
     
         14 . The packaging according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the packaging has transverse reinforcement bars, at least in the area of the wing and/or in the area of the rotor blade. 
     
     
         15 . The packaging according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the accommodating space has an opening mechanism for the purpose of easier opening. 
     
     
         16 . The packaging according to  claim 1 , characterized in that a filling material is provided in the accommodating space which at least partially encloses the object to be packaged, comprising liquids, gases, solids, pressurized gases, and small solid state materials. 
     
     
         17 . The packaging according to characterized in that a holding mechanism is provided on the wing and/or the accommodating space to hold the object to be packaged on the wing or in the accommodating space. 
     
     
         18 . The packaging according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the wing has a flow directing components, comprising one or more of the following: a tripwire, nozzle elements, ribs, recesses, integrally formed parts, and openings, to improve the flight characteristics of the packaging. 
     
     
         19 . A method for producing a packaging according to  claim 1  with a packaged object, characterized in that the packaging of the object is completed substantially simultaneously with the production of the packaging. 
     
     
         20 . A method for producing a packaging according to  claim 1  with a packaged object, characterized in that packaging the object is completed subsequently, in a separate step from producing the packaging and/or the accommodating space and/or the wing. 
     
     
         21 . A packaged object with a packaging, characterized in that the packaging is designed according to  claim 1  and the packaged object is held in the accommodating space.
