Abstract
A device for transporting segments of wood comprising an annular binding made of a material that is biodegradable and combustible such that the binding can thus be burnt in a fireplace after it has been used. The binding includes two binding rings and spacers, the rings and the spacers being assembled together by having co-operating shapes. Wedges are used to hold the segments of wood in position, without having to use a clamping band.
Claims20
A device for transporting segments of wood, said device comprising, an annular binding made of a material that is biodegradable and combustible, said binding including two binding rings interconnected by spacers held stationary on said rings as said spacers and said rings have co-operating shapes so as to be interlocked with one another, and at least one wedge inserted between one of said spacers and adjacent segments of wood disposed in said binding, said wedge adapted to bear respectively against said one of said spacers and against said adjacent segments of wood.
A method of packaging segments of wood, in which method said segments are disposed in a binding of a device for transporting segments of wood and wherein the device includes an annular binding made of a material that is biodegradable and combustible and includes two binding rings interconnected by spacers held stationary on the rings as the spacers and the rings have co-operating shapes so as to be interlocked with one another, the method including placing segments of wood within the binding, thereafter inserting a wedge between at least one spacer and adjacent segments of wood to lock the segments in position within the binding.
A device for transporting segments of wood, said device comprising, an annular binding made of a material that is biodegradable and combustible, said binding including two binding rings interconnected by spacers held stationary on said rings as said spacers and said rings have co-operating shapes so as to be interlocked with one another, and each of said two binding rings being provided with a plurality of break zones.
A device for transporting segments of wood, said device comprising, an annular binding made of a material that is biodegradable and combustible, said binding including two binding rings interconnected by spacers held stationary on said rings as said spacers and said rings have co-operating shapes so as to be interlocked with one another, and wherein said binding rings are provided, on their respective inside edges, with parts in relief for wedging against adjacent segments of wood.
