Abstract

A shipment packaging for elongate components is provided. Turbine blades must be sent from remote locations of the world to another location. During shipment, the coating of the turbine blades must be protected. The turbine blades are fixed at both ends by means of shipment packaging so that the turbine blades are protected.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An arrangement to carry elongate components, comprising: a shipment packaging for elongate components, comprising:
a stable outer packaging consisting of an open container with an outer cover, and
an internal space of the outer packaging in which there is an inner packaging,
wherein the inner packaging comprises a plug-in divider and a receptacle, and
wherein the plug-in divider comprises a plurality of compartments; and

an elongate component,
wherein the receptacle holds the elongate component in a compartment of the plug-in divider and such that the elongate component is held standing in the receptacle with a length of the elongate component standing upwardly,
wherein the receptacle includes a depression with a contour corresponding to a contour of a portion of the elongate component, and
wherein the arrangement is configured such that the elongate component does not come into contact with a further elongate component, and
wherein the elongate component is a turbine component,
wherein a plug-in divider cover is present at least in one layer, and
wherein the plug-in divider cover comprises means for fixing the elongate component.

2. The arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plug-in divider comprises polypropylene trilaminate.

3. The arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a plurality of inner packagings are present one above another in layers in the internal space of the outer packaging.

4. The arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein two components are arranged in a compartment of the plug-in divider.

5. The arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein only one component is arranged in a compartment of the plug-in divider.

6. The arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the receptacle receives only one elongate component.

7. The arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the receptacle receives two elongate components.

8. The arrangement as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the receptacle receives only identical components.
