Talk now accompanying drawing, identical in each accompanying drawing part is by same reference number representation in addition, and Fig. 1 and Fig. 5 have showed packaging of multi-pieces device 10, and packaging of multi-pieces device 10 comprises first package member 12 and a plurality of container combination second package member 14 together.

Being actually used in representative type container of the present invention is pot container 16, and container 16 has 18, one top covers of garden cylindrical side wall 20 and is formed at the annular concave edge on the lid periphery or holds seam 22.

As shown in Figure 6, first package member or divide packing parts 12 to be similar to prior art US Patent 2,847,835,3,74 usually, the type of showing in 502 and 4,219,117.These representative types divide packing parts to be formed by connecting, to have the polyethylene spare in many holes 24 by web or band 26, the girth in hole, room 24 than and the girth of container 16 housings that join of this hole periphery little so that their elasticity is joined, container 16 is clamped in wherein.Should be noted that and best parts 12 are designed to 6 of packings or 12 containers.In other words, packing device 10 can comprise the parts 12 of two independent " 6 bags ", and perhaps parts 12 can be set up with 3 rows, 2 row or 3 rows, 4 row respectively and divide the packing unit to keep pot container.Yet, can also make the packing of various varying number containers according to the present invention.

As shown in Figure 2, branch packing parts 12 of the prior art ', below annular notch or end face seam 22, constitute elastic joint and combine with many containers 16 of giving the component packaged parts of setting.Placement branch packing parts 12 below end face seam 22 ' can combine many jars, but can not be held in one to these jars securely.The housing of container 16 each other can be vertical, axial and oblique relative moving freely.When second package member 14 being held when giving fixed a plurality of branches packing parts, branch packing parts also may be vertical and oblique moving relative to each other, relative motion between jar is mutual, and divide the interelement relative motion of packing to make this packaging of multi-pieces device 10 a bit unstable, store and transport difficulty.

In Fig. 3, pack the middle part that parts 12 flexibly constrain in container 16 according to branch of the present invention, combine tightly to give the container of deciding arrangement.In the representative type assembly manipulation, each extends pawl makes in the 12 generation distortion of minute packing parts when a plurality of container tops drop down onto the middle part of giving each fixed relevant branch packing combination container.The inner and outer diameter of web 26 is less than the diameter of container 16 housings when hollow.When assembling, in the middle part of web 26 was filled to described container from container 16 tops cover, the width in cross section, web district stretched, in case straight placing facing to sidewall 18 peripheries, and block sidewall 18, container is clamped in the appropriate location.So just, between each container 16, produce and strengthened frictional constraint.As shown in Figure 3 branch packing parts reduce jar each other and divide between the packing parts mutually axially and the influence of oblique movement widely, divide packing parts 12 to be in another advantage of location, jar middle part, divide the packing combination to be difficult for, guarantee to protect dress thus and use by institute's phase state with 6 packaged combination grasping and carrying.

According to best illustrated among Fig. 4, existing US Patent 4,269, second or packaging of multi-pieces parts 14 of the general type of introducing in 308 and 4,520,924, comprise annular thermoplastic strip or ribbon element 28, it is typically by elastic polyethylene and makes, and generally becomes oval ring-type.This endless belt 28 has handle 30 and middle horizontal stripe 32, and preferably handle 30 is arranged on the centre at the vertical two ends of band, and laterally is connected on the relative two sides, endless belt.Endless belt 28 is preferably in the centre of container top and bottom near dividing the packing parts 12 places.Endless belt 28 has and gives fixed width and thickness, and its thickness is basically less than its width.Stripe size is selected to be enclosed within it by extension to give many fixed containers or divide on the neighboring of packing parts, container 16 is fused, and be pressed in reliably on the excircle sidewall 18 of container 16.

Middle arrowband 32 can be in US Patent 4,520, any desired form structure of being put on display in 924,4,385,690 or 4,385,691.Its length is made greater than the width of endless belt 28 when the packaging container not, with the needs of a plurality of branches packing of adaptive zone 28 sockets parts lateral extension in arrowband 32.

Make handle 30 on endless belt 28 outer rims, the sidewall that it presses close to container 16 is keeping flat, so that store.Handle 30 has the contact pin 34 that can easily upwards draw along mint-mark line 36.As shown in Figure 5, in case contact pin pulls to the top, handle 30 can easily bend to the position vertical with container side wall 18, in order to grasping and carrying.

As shown in Figure 7, divide the web or the interior connection band 26 of packing parts 12 in this packing, to be pressed together, and on the point of connection 27 at container 16 housings middle part, fuse.This structure can prevent that the middle part of container 16 is disconnected from each other in the packing handling process, and this makes greatly minimizing of motion mutually between container.Because the adjacent container end ran foul of each other when the container opposite end began to separate, it is minimum that the cross motion degree between two containers reduces to, and the mutual slope trend of container further reduces.

The endless belt 28 that is provided with around the middle part of container 16 neighborings further reduces moving of container, when being used in combination jointly with minute packing parts, can increase packaging of multi-pieces container stability greatly.
