Summary of the invention

Consider the prior art, the object of the invention is to improve the processing of article and storage.

This object is to realize by having packing container and the manufacture method thereof of the technical characterictic of this patent claim 1, and described method has the feature of this patent claim 15.

Packing container has the matrix that comprises base member and cap member.Accommodation space for article to be stored is arranged on the matrix between base member and cap member.Base member comprises at least one section towards accommodation space of lower surface.Control piece on base member and/or cap member can move between open position and off position.For example, by opening control piece, can insert article or from accommodation space, take out article to accommodation space.The quantity of control piece can change.Preferably, at least one control piece is arranged in the longitudinal end regions of accommodation space, and another control piece is arranged in the longitudinal end regions of accommodation space.Because bar especially extends laterally to accommodation space from base member, described accommodation space is divided into a plurality of sections of taking in.

According to the present invention, the springing with at least one elastic element is inserted in accommodation space.Preferably, springing is elastic body.The quantity of the elastic element in springing is adapted to the quantity of storage compartments in accommodation space.Each elastic element is arranged to accommodation space or relevant taken in the article that are close in section and apply horizontal confining force.Be laterally the direction transverse to the bearing of trend of article, and be preferably parallel to the lower surface of closing on accommodation space.Confining force extends in the plane that extends through the accommodation space between base member and cap member.Except the confining force transversely acting on, springing can also generation effect subsidiary load component in the other direction.

In its reference position, elastic element preferably completely horizontal expansion by corresponding storage compartments, make in storage compartments, to Individual Items, to apply sufficient confining force, and irrelevant with its width.At elastic element, along the resilient bias amount in transverse elasticity deformation process, therefore match with the size of respective stored section.

Confining force acts on article along the bearing of trend transverse to article, and therefore, the degree of the friction force that the insertion of obstruction article or taking-up only produce with confining force is relevant, and described friction force prevents that article from unexpectedly skidding off from accommodation space.In addition the article that, this confining force has been guaranteed to be positioned in accommodation space are during transportation substantially fixedly held and can clash into each other.This confining force is roughly parallel to lower surface and extends, thereby can or significantly not affect lower surface or cap member.

Knitting machine needle set has the transversely flat sides of orientation.When knitting eedle is positioned in packing container, they are pushed to sidewall or bar or adjacent knitting eedle.The flat sides of knitting eedle is insensitive, makes to prevent that the effect due at least one elastic element from damaging knitting eedle.Due to pin can be no problem on its bearing of trend mobile, therefore the processing of pin is just become to simple when inserting or take out pin from accommodation space in accommodation space.

In a preferred embodiment, packing container is made by plastic material completely.Base member and matrix can be manufactured respectively, for example, adopt injection molding process, or both can connect by film folding, the single-piece of homogeneous material, and do not adopt attaching parts.Preferably, the elastic body that can show as springing also can adopt plastic material integrally manufactured, particularly by injection molding process connectionless point.

Springing or elastic body can have basal area, and it is inserted in the bottom otch arranging in base member, especially, by active, lock and/or non-active ground mode ratchet connects and to be maintained at there.On the side of the accommodation space of its connection, basal area has the section of lower surface.Being arranged at least one elastic element on basal area is integrally connected to rigidly or preferably this basal area and extends along the section of the lower surface arranging in base member.

The packing container with springing therefore can be divided into two or three independently plastic material parts manufacture simply.

Cap member is preferably and is unremovably connected to base member.Unremovably connection should be understood to the connection mode that can discharge to non-destructive.Consequently can prevent reliably that accommodation space from surprisingly opening.

In base member, insertion opening can be set, accommodation space is opened and approached to the longitudinal end that can extend from lower surface by this opening, namely, is independent of the position of at least one control piece.The result of bringing is thus in accommodation space, to store the article that those length are greater than accommodation space length.When in the closed position, these article can insert opening from this and stretch out accommodation space.

This one side that packing container can be opened or approach from a side can be independent of other features of packing container and realize, and is particularly independent of springing.Therefore, for being fitly stored in order the packing container of the article that extend on bearing of trend, particularly store knitting eedle, it has the matrix that comprises base member and cap member, this base member and cap member are connected with each other and limit accommodation space, wherein base member has the section of at least one lower surface, this section is towards accommodation space, there is at least one control piece on the base member of being arranged on and/or cap member, described control piece can move between open position and off position, wherein accommodation space has insertion opening, by this insertion opening, can be independent of the position of at least one control piece and open or approach accommodation space on first longitudinal end.This packing container can also have the additional design feature of mistake described above, also will further describe in the back, particularly described in claim to feature.

Almost the article of any desired length can be stored in can from insert that opening is opened or approaching packing container.The length of the end regions of article is greater than the length of accommodation space and stretches out from accommodation space.For example, the in the situation that of knitting eedle, stitch in accommodation space forms work piece and adjacent shaft section can hold and be protected in accommodation space, and the end section with stitch is freely stretched out packing container, is not subject to support and the protection of packing container.Length is intactly contained in storage space corresponding to the article of the length of accommodation space the largelyst.In packing container, also can store the article of different length.Result is, has a kind of like this layout of packing container, and it has the article that one or more is arranged in accommodation space completely and/or an end section is stretched out from accommodation space.Therefore, this packing container can be used for storing the article of multiple different article, particularly different length, knitting eedle for example, and need not adjust container.Especially, in the manufacturing process at packing container as injection molding part, additional processing cost goes up.Because this packing container is applicable to multiple application, this packing container can adopt economic mode to manufacture.

The first lid flap and/or the second lid flap can be set on cap member as control piece.The in the situation that two lid flaps being set on cap member, two lid flaps are positioned on two sides contrary on cap member.Therefore, accommodation space can approach from two longitudinal end regions.

The first lid flap can have the parts of holding down.When the first lid flap is when in the closed position, this holds down parts and applies to the article that are placed in accommodation space the power of holding down.This holds down power and tilts or at right angles act on lower surface, and can in the direction of the lower surface of base member, compress article.When the first lid flap is when in the closed position, the power of holding down can further reduce the risk of institute's stores accidental movement.For example, when described article move with respect to packing container on its first bearing of trend, this confining force can be used as the support of the higher section of article.

The specific embodiment

The present invention relates to a kind of packing container 20, it is set up and design is used for stores 21, for example pin, particularly knitting eedle 22, and described article extend on bearing of trend E.An example embodiment of packing container 20 of the present invention is shown in the accompanying drawings.The article 21 of mentioning are hereinafter knitting eedles 22, although in this case, its application is also not limited to knitting eedle 22.This packing container 20 is particularly suitable for having the article 21 towards two flat sides of horizontal Q.

Preferably, packing container 20 only consists of plastic material.Required plastic member can be manufactured by for example casting method, for example injection mo(u)lding.

According to this example, packing container 20 consists of the element of three plastic material connected to one another, that is, and and base member 23, cap member 24 and the springing 25 that is expressed as elastic body 26 in example embodiment.Knitting eedle 22 is with a plurality of groups 27 storages in packing container, and wherein each group 27 has a plurality of knitting eedle 22 (as shown in Figure 10) with the laterally mutual butt of its adjacent flat side.

Base member 23 has formed the matrix 30 of packing container 20 together with cap member 24.Matrix 30 can adopt casting to be fabricated to integrated member, and cap member 24 and base member 23 are integrally manufactured like this, there is no seam that plastic material makes or contact as connecting bridge.In this example embodiment, cap member 24 and base member 23 interconnect by being configured to the Connection Element 23 of film folding, as the example shows.Cap member 24 has limited the accommodation space 32 inserting for knitting eedle 22 together with base member 23.

For example, base member 23 can be clear that from Fig. 3,5,6 and 14.It comprises the base plate 34 (as Fig. 3) with bottom surface 35, and the first section 36a of the lower surface 36 of packing container 20, and described the first section 36a is towards accommodation space 32.The lower surface 36 of packing container 20 is as the stayed surface of article 21 to be stored.Preferably, lower surface 36 extends to the accommodation space 32 opposite end of second longitudinal end 39 of matrix 30 on longitudinal L in the plane of first longitudinal end 38 inserting side 37 of matrix 30.On second longitudinal end 39 of matrix 30, the boss 40 extending transverse to lower surface 36 is longitudinally limiting accommodation space 32 on L.Boss 40 is as being both the rear wall of base member 23.Boss 40 extends along base plate 34 on the horizontal O perpendicular to longitudinal L.Each in two lateral ends of boss 40 is all connected on the sidewall 41 that L extends along the longitudinal, and preferably, completely along base plate 34, Cong San limit surrounds lower surface 36 together with boss 40.On inserting side 37, lower surface 36 does not arrange wall or other projections, has therefore formed insertion opening 42 herein.

In example embodiment, a plurality of dividers 43 are longitudinally being parallel to 41 extensions of two sidewalls on L, and lower surface 36 is left in horizontal expansion.Divider 43 is divided into a plurality of districts 44 of taking in by accommodation space 32.Take in district 44 L is arranged side by side along the longitudinal between two dividers 43 or between a sidewall 41 and an adjacent divider 43, it extends along lower surface 36 completely in accommodation space 32.

The profile of all dividers 43 is identical.Their insertion openings 42 from first longitudinal end 38 of matrix 40 directly start.Rise from here, they extend towards second longitudinal end 39, and wherein they also not exclusively extend through accommodation space 32, but still have a segment distance place to finish apart from second longitudinal end 39 or boss 40.Base member without any bar but there is second longitudinal end 39Gai end region 45 as end flap 46.End flap 46 can rotate around the pivot axis extending on horizontal Q.In order to realize this rotation, base plate 34 has fulcrum 47, its transversely Q extend and reduce thickness and form film folding.From Figure 11 obviously, it is laterally extending through base plate 34 on Q to fulcrum 47 completely.By the groove shape recess being arranged on base plate along lower surface 36 and/or bottom surface 35 directions, can realize reducing of thickness.

Watch in the vertical, two sidewalls 41 save a little less than the height that is positioned at fulcrum 47 is provided with material, thereby form fracture at predetermined breaking-down point 48, connect.Under initial condition, two side wall sections that are connected to predetermined breaking-down point 48 are connected and are joined to one another by predetermined fracture.By predetermined breaking-down point 48 places at sidewall 41, disconnect predetermined fracture and connect, can Jiang You end region 45 end flaps 26 that represent around fulcrum 47, rotate, and make can approach accommodation space 32 from second longitudinal end 39 of matrix 30.End flap 46 represents the function unit of packing container 20, and described flap can move between off position and open position.

In the scope of end region 45, the accommodation space 32 of matrix 30 has the first height H 1, and this height measures on respect to the rectangular direction of lower surface 36, and described height is less than the second height H 2 of remaining accommodation space 32.

Base plate 34 has bottom otch 52.In example embodiment, at close opening 42 places that insert, base plate 34 has the bottom otch 52 that transversely O extends completely at whole accommodation space 32.Spacer bar 43 extends on bottom otch 52.Each of accommodation space 32 is taken in district 44 and therefore can be approached by otch 52 relevant range, bottom.According to example embodiment, bottom otch 52 is rectangular profile.

Bottom otch 52 is set to springing 25 is inserted and is fastened in accommodation space 32.The elastomeric element consisting of elastic body 26 26 of describing according to example embodiment is illustrated in Figure 15 independently.According to this example, elastic body 26 has plate shape basal area 53.Utilize the help of this basal area 53, springing 25 can be fastened in base member 23.In example embodiment, basal area 53 is closed bottom otch 52 intactly.In this example, basal area 53 has upside 54, and it extends in a plane.After springing 25 inserts, upside 54 is with the first section 36a of lower surface 36 in same plane, and this lower surface 36 is arranged on the base plate 34 of base member 23.Subsequently, upside 54 represents the second section 36b of lower surface 36.On the whole, lower surface 36 is extended in a plane.At least basal area 53 do not exceed described lower surface the first section 36a plane and extend in accommodation space 32.

According to example, it is fastening and be molded on the upside 54 of basal area 53 that each takes in an elastic element 55 in district 44.Elastic element 55 can be different structure.They are acted on and are stored on the article 21 of taking in district 44 on horizontal Q by confining force, towards the direction of adjacent sidewall 41 or adjacent divider 43, push away described article.For this reason, the elastic element 55 in accommodation space 32 is basically parallel to lower surface 36 and extends, and at least in some sections with respect to longitudinal L tilt, vertical or curved.

According to the preferred example embodiment of packing container 20 described here, each elastic element 55 is arc, and starts curvedly to extend to free end 57 from the fixed end 56 being fastened on basal area 53.After elastic body 26 inserts accommodation space, fixed end 56 and free end 57 abut to common divider 43 or common sidewall 41, for example, can from Fig. 5 or Fig. 6, can see.In a crooked or flat holding point 58, elastic element 55 abuts to taking in accordingly on the divider 43 or sidewall 41 in district's 44 1 sides with respect to Liang Ge end 56,57.Therefore, elastic element 55 extends through the relevant district 44 of taking in completely on horizontal Q.

If article or one group of article 27 are inserted into, take in district 44 (as shown in figure 10), these article or this article group 27 are because the confining force of elastic element 55 is clipped in divider 43 or sidewall 41 and between the holding point 58 of the horizontal elastic element of O in accommodation space.For this reason, free end 57 sidewall 41 along divider 43 on longitudinal L moves in accommodation space 44.The result of the present embodiment is, can in accommodation space 44, insert article and a plurality of article, and because the effect of confining force holds it in that.

In order respectively springing 25 and elastic body 26 to be fastened in base member 23, at least one (being several according to this example) ratchet 59 is arranged on basal area 53.In example embodiment, fixed end 56 is at two side-prominent each elastic element 55 that surpasses plate shape basal area 53 of longitudinal L.Towards inserting opening 42, each elastic element 55 has the edge that tilts to extend from basal area 53 on fixed end 56, and described edge ends at basal area 53 at outstanding ratchet 59 places.Therefore, as shown in Figure 16 and Figure 17, elastic body 26 can be fastened to base member 23.

What the accommodation space 32 that distributes was separately inserted in elastic element 55Cong bottom surface 35 by bottom notches 52 takes in district 44, until the basal area 53 end relative with ratchet 59 abuts to otch 52 edge, corresponding bottom.After this, elastic body 26 can rotate towards base plate 34 (as shown in figure 16).Finally, the sloping edge of ratchet 59 is touched base plate 34Bing city because the effect of elastic deformation will move through bottom otch 52.And then, ratchet 59 is bonded in accommodation space 32, and is connected to the first section 36a of the lower surface 36 of base member 23, thereby elastic body 26 is fixed on base member 23 position.

Therefore in example embodiment, the quantity of ratchet 59 is corresponding to the quantity of elastic element 55.In variant embodiment, it is also possible that some elastic element 55 has ratchet 59 on its fixed end 56.

As above mentioned, cap member 24 is manufactured together with base member 23, and is arranged on pivotly on one of sidewall 41 by showing as the Connection Element 31 of film folding.In a side relative with Connection Element 31, while watching from horizontal Q, on cap member 24, be provided with lateral projection 65.Under the final assembled state of packing container 20, lateral projection 65 is in the wall recess 66 relative with Connection Element 31 of sidewall 41.Between lateral projection 65 on Connection Element 31 and cap member 24, be provided with plate shape fastening area 67.At least one secured opening 68 is arranged in this fastening area 67.According to example, a plurality of secured opening are distributed on fastening area 67.Secured opening 68 is cylindrical holes for example.

Each secured opening 68 is associated with the holding pin 69 in base member 23.The cross-sectional configuration of holding pin 69 is adapted to tightly store up the cross-sectional configuration of opening 68.If cap member 24 is placed in base member 23, holding pin 69 extends through corresponding relevant secured opening 68 completely, and their free end 70 is projected into outside accommodation space 32 like this, outside corresponding secured opening 68.By expanding these free ends 70, cap member 24 can initiatively be locked or bonding and/or non-active being fastened in base member 23 alternatively.The free end 70 expanding can be seen in Fig. 9.Expansion herein for example can realize by heat effect.

For example, as shown in Figure 5 or Figure 6, holding pin 69 is arranged on the back of the body of divider 43 towards a side of lower surface 36, therefore forms the integrated member of divider 43.In order to manufacture the connection of sufficient intensity, this example is included in two holding pins 69 arranging on each divider, and described pin is arranged spaced apart on longitudinal L.

Pass through set up connection, fastening area 67 rigidity of cap member 24 and being irremovably connected in base member 23.On longitudinal L, cap member 24 has: in abutting connection with fastening area 67, one sides, are first lid foldings 73 of the first lid flap 74, another side is the second lid folding 75 of the second lid flap 76.The first lid flap 74 is positioned on first longitudinal end 38 of matrix 30, and the second lid flap 76 is arranged on second longitudinal end 39 of matrix 30.As a result, the second lid flap 76 is relatively located with end flap 46.Each in two lid flaps all can move between open position and off position, is configured to the additional control piece of packing container, to allow to approach accommodation space 32.

The first lid flap 74 has the section of lid 77, and it is connected to fastening area 67 by the first lid folding 73 substantially in a plane.At two cross sides of the lid section 77 relative with cross side Q, the first lid 74 has a corresponding ratchet projection 78 of pawl device.Figure 12 has shown the enlarged view of this ratchet projection 78.Each ratchet projection 78 is associated with the detent recesses 79 of the pawl device matching, described recess in this example be shaped as the slit extending on longitudinal L.78 and two detent recesses 79 of two ratchet projections have formed pawl device 78,79.When two ratchet projections 78 engage with the detent recesses 79 of respective associated, the first lid flap 74 is on its off position.When the first lid flap 74 moves to open position from off position, ratchet projection 78 flexibly moves and leaves detent recesses 79.Fig. 7 to 9 has shown open position.

In one side of the lid section 77 relative with the first lid folding 73, lid section 77 is connected with the end section 82 of the first lid flap 74, and described lid flap is arranged on first longitudinal end 38 of matrix 30.In its dead position, end section 82 extends to the free end 83 of the first lid flap 74 obliquely with respect to lid section 77.When the first lid flap 74 is when in the closed position, end section 82 extends to the base plate 34 of base member 23 obliquely from lid section 77.End section 82 can be with respect to lid section 77 around roughly leaving this home position along the pivot axis that laterally Q extends.When its home position from deactivated discharges, the downward confining force that end section 82 produces towards base plate 34 or lower surface 36.In example embodiment, what the end regions 82 of the first lid flap 74 formed cap member 24 holds down parts 84.When article 21 are arranged in accommodation space 32, the length of described article on longitudinal L is greater than the length of accommodation space 32, and described article are outstanding in insertion opening 42 region from accommodation space 32.In this case, if the first lid flap 74 in its off position, according to this example, the free end 83 of end section 82 that holds down parts 84 and the first lid flap 74 is positioned on article 21, as shown in Figure 10.
