  Emballage pour une série de crayons
 La présente invention a pour objet un emballage pour une série de crayons. On connaît déjà certains emballages comprenant un support présentant une forme permettant l'alignement des crayons parallèlement les uns aux autres. La présente invention a précisément pour objet un emballage de ce genre qui est caractérisé par un support destiné à soutenir les crayons en au moins deux points situés à quelque distance des extrémités respectives de chaque crayon de sorte que   l'on    puisse faire basculer les crayons en exerçant une pression sur leur extrémité arrière pour les sortir aisément de l'emballage.



   Le dessin annexé   rèprésente,    schématiquement et à titre d'exemple, plusieurs formes d'exécution de l'emballage selon l'invention.



   La fig. 1 est une vue en perspective du support.



   La fig. 2 est une vue en coupe longitudinale montrant le support en place dans une boîte constituant l'enveloppe externe de l'emballage.



   Les fig. 3 à 5 sont des vues de diverses variantes de ce support.



   La fig. 6 montre une autre forme d'exécution de l'emballage.



   En référence aux fig. 1 et 2, l'emballage destiné à recevoir une série de crayons comprend une boîte rigide 1, par exemple en tôle, en carton, en matière plastique, ou éventuellement en bois. A l'intérieur de cette boîte 1 est disposé un support 2 en matière souple, par exemple en matière plastique (chlorure de polyvinyle), en papier, carton mou ou autre matière semblable. Ce support 2 est formé de manière à présenter un gaufrage 3 pour soutenir les crayons 4 en au moins deux points 5 et 6 de leur longueur situés à quelque distance des extrémités respectives 7 et 8 de chaque crayon 4. Comme on le voit sur les fig. 1 et 2, les extrémités 7 et 8 de chaque crayon sont donc disposées en porte à faux de part et d'autre des gaufrages 3.



   Ce support 2 présente en outre un bord souple 9 au moins devant la pointe 7 des crayons 4, pour protéger   celleci    en cas de choc contre l'emballage.



  Dans la forme d'exécution représentée à la fig. 1, le bord souple 9 s'étend sur toute la périphérie du support 2. Le bord souple 9 est donc formé par un flan relevé de la partie du support 2 recouvrant le fond de la boîte 1.



   Comme on le remarque à la fig. 2, une fois le support mis en place dans la boîte 1, la partie supérieure 10 du bord souple 9 vient s'emboîter contre le côté respectif de la boîte 1. De préférence, ce bord 9 est légèrement évasé vers le haut, de sorte qu'un espace libre soit maintenu entre ledit bord 9 et le côté respectif de la boîte 1. Ainsi, en cas de choc contre la boîte 1, le bord souple 9 cédera légèrement sous la pression des pointes 7 des crayons 4 venant s'appuyer contre lui, en leur évitant ainsi tout choc brusque.



   La disposition en porte à faux de la partie arrière 8 de chaque crayon a l'avantage de faciliter grandement la prise des crayons. En effet, et comme le montre la fig. 2, il suffit d'exercer une pression sur cette partie arrière 8 du crayon choisi pour provoquer un basculement de celui-ci provoquant une élévation de la pointe 7 du   crayon,    ce qui facilite sa prise, ceci notamment lorsque le crayon fait partie d'une série complète de crayons disposés dans la boîte 1.  en étant par contre muni des points de soutien assurant une disposition en porte à faux des extrémités de chaque crayon 4.



   A part les avantages déjà cités que présente l'emballage décrit muni du support 2, celui-ci permet, en outre, de faciliter la mise en place des séries de crayons dans leur emballage lors de l'empaquetage des crayons en usine. Cet emballage permet même un remplissage des boîtes de crayons à l'aide de machines entièrement automatiques.
  



  
 



  Packaging for a series of pencils
 The present invention relates to a packaging for a series of pencils. Certain packages are already known comprising a support having a shape allowing the rods to be aligned parallel to one another. The present invention specifically relates to a package of this type which is characterized by a support intended to support the rods at at least two points located at some distance from the respective ends of each rod so that the rods can be tilted in exerting pressure on their rear end to easily remove them from the packaging.



   The appended drawing shows, schematically and by way of example, several embodiments of the packaging according to the invention.



   Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the support.



   Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the support in place in a box constituting the outer casing of the packaging.



   Figs. 3 to 5 are views of various variants of this support.



   Fig. 6 shows another embodiment of the packaging.



   With reference to fig. 1 and 2, the packaging intended to receive a series of pencils comprises a rigid box 1, for example made of sheet metal, cardboard, plastic, or possibly wood. Inside this box 1 is arranged a support 2 made of flexible material, for example plastic (polyvinyl chloride), paper, soft cardboard or other similar material. This support 2 is formed so as to have an embossing 3 to support the rods 4 at at least two points 5 and 6 of their length located at some distance from the respective ends 7 and 8 of each rod 4. As seen in FIGS. . 1 and 2, the ends 7 and 8 of each pencil are therefore placed overhang on either side of the embossings 3.



   This support 2 also has a flexible edge 9 at least in front of the tip 7 of the rods 4, to protect the latter in the event of impact against the packaging.



  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the flexible edge 9 extends over the entire periphery of the support 2. The flexible edge 9 is therefore formed by a blank raised from the part of the support 2 covering the bottom of the box 1.



   As can be seen in fig. 2, once the support is in place in the box 1, the upper part 10 of the flexible edge 9 fits against the respective side of the box 1. Preferably, this edge 9 is slightly flared upwards, so that a free space is maintained between said edge 9 and the respective side of the box 1. Thus, in the event of impact against the box 1, the flexible edge 9 will yield slightly under the pressure of the tips 7 of the rods 4 coming to rest against him, thus avoiding any sudden shock.



   The cantilevered arrangement of the rear part 8 of each pencil has the advantage of greatly facilitating the gripping of the pencils. Indeed, and as shown in fig. 2, it suffices to exert pressure on this rear part 8 of the chosen pencil to cause the latter to tilt causing the tip 7 of the pencil to rise, which makes it easier to grip, this in particular when the pencil is part of a complete series of pencils placed in box 1.on the other hand, being provided with support points ensuring a cantilevered arrangement of the ends of each pencil 4.



   Apart from the advantages already mentioned presented by the packaging described provided with the support 2, the latter also makes it possible to facilitate the positioning of the series of pencils in their packaging during the packaging of the pencils in the factory. This packaging even allows pencil boxes to be filled using fully automatic machines.

Claims

CLAIM: Packaging for a series of pencils, characterized by a support intended to support the pencils at at least two points located at some distance from the respective ends of each pencil, so that the pencils can be tilted by exerting pressure on their end back to easily take them out of the packaging.

SUB-CLAIMS: 1. Packaging according to claim, characterized in that the support has a flexible edge, disposed at least in front of the tip of the pencils to protect the latter in the event of impact against the packaging.

2. Packaging according to claim, comprising a rigid box, characterized in that the support is entirely formed of flexible material and covers the entire bottom of the box.

3. Packaging according to claim and subclaims 1 and 2, characterized in that the flexible edge is formed by a raised edge of the support.

4. Packaging according to claim and subclaims 1 and 2, characterized in that the flexible edge is formed by a folded border substantially at right angles to the support, the upper part of this edge being folded substantially horizontally outward.

5. Packaging according to claim and subclaims 1 and 2, characterized in that the flexible edge is constituted by a folded edge substantially at the square of the support, the upper part of this edge being folded down to form a kind of bead.

6. Packaging according to claim and subclaim 1, characterized in that the support is in the form of a box, at least the edge of this box located in front of the tip of the pencils being folded down inside the box for form the flexible edge intended to protect the tip of the pencils.

Many variants of the support 2 could be imagined. Thus, in fig. 3, the flexible edge 9 is formed by a blank folded substantially at a right angle to the part of the support covering the bottom of the box 1, the upper part 10 of this blank being folded down substantially horizontally towards the respective side 11 of the box 1 .

In fig. 4, the flexible edge 9 is formed by a blank folded substantially at the square of the part of the support 2 covering the bottom of the box 1, the upper part 10 of this blank being folded down to form a kind of recessed bead in box 1.

In fig. 5, the support 2 is similar to that shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. However, the flexible edge 9 also has an embossing or embossing formed so that the points 7 of each pencil 4 are located opposite a bump or undulation 12 of the flexible edge 9. Thus, the space free between the rigid side 1 1 of the box and the flexible edge 9 is larger opposite the tips 7 of the pencils than in the space between two adjacent pencils.

Fig. 6 shows another embodiment of the packaging, in which the support 2 itself constitutes the box. Of course, in this case, the support 2 must be formed of a material sufficiently rigid to keep its shape. This support 2 can, for example, be made of pressed plastic or formed in any known manner.

The edge 13 of this box formed by the support 2 is folded down inside the box at least on the side thereof located in front of the tip 7 of the pencils 4. The part 14 folded down is provided. thin enough to have the flexibility to protect the pencil tips in the event of impact against the box. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the support 2 has an edge folded down both on the side of the box located opposite the tips 7 of the pencils 4 and on the side located opposite the rear part 8 of each pencil. Such a support 2 can be combined with a usual cover of corresponding shape which fits around the edge 13.

In all the embodiments shown, the support 2 had an embossing 3 intended to serve as a support for the rods 4 only at two points along their length. Thus, the space left free between these two embossings 3 can be used to serve as housing for any notice or advertisement.

However, it goes without saying that the embossing 3 could extend over the entire middle part of the support 2, only the end parts of the support 2 being devoid of embossing to allow the cantilevered arrangement of the ends 7 and 8 of each pencil. 4.

The packaging could also not have a soft edge 9 in front of the tip of the pencils 4, all
