Packaging having means for passive flight

Abstract

A packaging having at least one accommodating space configured for an object to be inserted therein is provided. The at least one accommodating space is openable via a hinge. The at least one rotor blade extends from the at least one accommodating space and causes an autorotation motion of the packaging during free fall.

1 . A packaging comprising:
 at least one accommodating space configured for an object to be inserted therein, the at least one accommodating space being openable via a hinge, and   at least one rotor blade extending from the at least one accommodating space, the at least one rotor blade causing an autorotation motion of the packaging during free fall.   
     
     
         2 . The packaging according to  claim 1 , wherein the packaging is comprised of at least two packaging halves pivotably connected to each other via the at least one hinge, and wherein, in a connected state, the at least two packaging halves form the at least one accommodating space and the at least one rotor blade. 
     
     
         3 . The packaging according to  claim 2  wherein the hinge is disposed on a first side of the at least two packaging halves. 
     
     
         4 . The packaging according to  claim 3 , further comprising at least one engaging element on a second side of the at least two packaging halves, opposite the first side, for releasably connecting the at least two packaging halves. 
     
     
         5 . A packaging comprising:
 at least one accommodating space configured for an object to be inserted therein, the at least one accommodating space being openable via a hinge, and   at least one wing extending from the at least one accommodating space along a length of an outer periphery of the at least one accommodating space, the at least one wing causing an autorotation motion of the packaging during free fall;   wherein the at least one hinge is disposed along an entirety of the length of the outer periphery of the at least one accommodating space from which the at least one wing extends,   wherein, the at least one accommodating space and the at least one wing are tight, airtight and/or gastight when the at least one accommodating space is closed.   
     
     
         6 . The packaging according to  claim 5 , wherein the at least one accommodating space and/or the at least one wing is 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. 
     
     
         7 . The packaging according to  claim 5 , wherein the at least one accommodating space and/or the at least one wing is made from a vacuum shrink packaging, a blister packaging or another substantially dimensionally stable packaging. 
     
     
         8 . The packaging according to  claim 5 , wherein the at least one accommodating space is configured for receiving a candy, a liquid, a powder, or another object having a given external dimension, wherein the at least one accommodating space has at least approximately the same internal dimensions or the same internal diameter. 
     
     
         9 . The packaging according to  claim 5 , wherein the at least one wing has a length which is more than approximately  1 . 5  times the diameter of the at least one accommodating space. 
     
     
         10 . The packaging according to  claim 5 , wherein the at least one wing has a width which is at least one to two times the diameter of the at least one accommodating space. 
     
     
         11 . The packaging according to  claim 5 , wherein the packaging has transverse reinforcement bars, at least in the at least one wing. 
     
     
         12 . The packaging according to  claim 5 , wherein a filling material is provided in the at least one accommodating space which at least partially encloses the object to be packaged, comprising liquids, gases, solids, pressurized gases, and small solid state materials. 
     
     
         13 . The packaging according to  claim 5 , wherein the at least one wing has a flow directing component 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. 
     
     
         14 . The packaging according to  claim 5 , further comprising the object inserted in the at least one accommodating space, wherein a total weight of the accommodating space with the object inserted therein is greater than a weight of the at least one wing. 
     
     
         15 . The packaging according to  claim 14 , wherein the total weight of the accommodating space with the object inserted therein is in the range of 1.5 to 15 times greater than the weight of the at least one wing.
