Abstract

The invention relates to a packing- and/or transport unit comprising several fibrous insulation elements ( 4, 5 ) for flat roof insulation being arranged in at least one stack ( 2 ) and at least one support means ( 3 ) being arranged under the stack ( 2 ), whereby the stack ( 2 ) contains at least two different types of insulation elements ( 4, 5 ), which differ with respect to the material properties. A packing- and/or transport unit which is easy to handle and which allows to arrange most of the materials close to the places where it is needed is achieved in that the stacked insulation elements ( 4, 5 ) comprise lamellas ( 4 ) and/or lamella boards having a high compression strength but low point load resistance due to their fiber orientation and at least one insulation board ( 5 ) having an even higher compression strength and high point load resistance.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A packing or transport unit comprising several fibrous insulation elements for flat roof insulation being arranged in at least one stack and at least one support being arranged under the stack, whereby the stack contains at least two different types of insulation elements, which differ with respect to their material properties characterized in that the stacked insulation elements comprise lamellas or lamella boards having a high compression strength and point load resistance attributable to their fiber orientation and at least one insulation board and wherein the compression strength and point load resistance is higher for the at least one insulation board than the lamellas or lamella boards.

2. The packing or transport unit according to claim 1 , characterized in that at least one insulation board is arranged underneath the stack of lamellas or lamella boards.

3. The packing or transport unit according to claim 2 , characterized in that the support comprises at least one stacked insulation board and that on top of the at least one stacked insulation board at least one insulation board of larger area is arranged.

4. The packing or transport unit according to claim 2 , characterized in that, the lamellas or lamella boards have a density between 30 and 125 kg/m3.

5. The packing or transport unit according to claim 2 characterized in that, at least one insulation board is arranged between layers made from lamellas or lamella boards.

6. The packing or transport unit according to claim 2 characterized in that with all stacked lamellas or lamella boards an area of insulation can be build up which area of insulation has a size equal to the size of the total area of the stacked insulation boards or which size corresponds to an integer fraction of the area of the insulation board.

7. The packing or transport unit according to claim 2 , characterized in that said insulation board lies on at least one support.

8. The packing or transport unit according to claim 7 , characterized in that the at least one support is made of mineral fibers.

9. The packing or transport unit according to claim 1 characterized in that, the lamellas or lamella boards have a density between 30 and 125 kg/m3.

10. The packing or transport unit according to claim 9 characterized in that the lamellas, lamella boards, insulation boards or a combination thereof are made from mineral fibers.

11. The packing or transport unit according to claim 10 , characterized in that the lamellas, lamella boards, insulation boards or a combination thereof are made from stone wool.

12. The packing or transport unit according to claim 1 characterized in that, each lamella or lamella board has an area which corresponds to an integer fraction of the area of the insulation board.

13. The packing or transport unit according to claim 1 characterized in that, at least one insulation board is arranged between layers made from lamellas or lamella boards.

14. The packing or transport unit according to claim 1 characterized in that, the at least one insulation board has a thickness between 20 and 60 mm.

15. The packing or transport unit according to claim 1 characterized in that the lamellas or lamella boards or the at least one insulation board are made from mineral fibers.

16. The packing or transport unit according to claim 15 , characterized in that the lamellas, lamella boards, insulation boards or a combination thereof are made from stone wool.

17. The packing or transport unit according to claim 1 characterized in that all of the stacked lamellas or lamella boards have an area of insulation has a size equal to the size of the total area of the stacked insulation board or a size corresponding to an integer fraction of the area of the insulation board.

18. The packing or transport unit according to claim 1 characterized in that the size of an area of insulation of the lamellas or lamella boards being arranged in one or more layers of the stack underneath or above the insulation boards is equal to the size of an area of insulation of the insulation boards.

19. The packing or transport unit according to claim 1 characterized having a length and width dimension equal to the length and the width of an insulation board providing a layer of the stack.

20. The packing or transport unit according to claim 1 characterized in that the area of a layer of the stack consisting of lamellas or lamella boards is equal to the area of a layer of the stack consisting of at least one insulation board.

21. The packing or transport unit according to claim 1 , wherein the orientation of fibers within the lamellas or lamella boards is perpendicular to the area of the insulation board.
