Abstract

1. A packaging for knitting needles and crochet hooks, composed of an elongated body (1) produced in plastics material, having a length greater than that of the needles or crochet, hooks and comprising at least two aligned bosses (4, 5) each exhibiting a longitudinal channel (9) serving for the accommodation of a needle or crochet hook (12), characterised in that each channel (9) comprises in its upper part at least two small protuberances (10) that, produced in moulding with the body (1), are longitudinally displaced in relation to one another.

Description

L'invention concerne la présentation des aiguilles et crochets à tricoter et a pour objet un conditionnement qui, permettant, dans le cas des aiguilles, de les grouper au moins deux par deux, possède l'avantage supplémentaire de servir de présentoir à ces aiguilles et crochets. Le but visé par ce conditionnement est donc double :

  • - servir, d'une part, au rangement et au classement des aiguilles et crochets, d'abord par le fabricant, puis par le commerçant et enfin par l'utilisateur,
  • - et servir, d'autre part, à une bonne présentation des aiguilles et crochets à la vente.
The invention relates to the presentation of knitting needles and hooks and relates to a packaging which, allowing, in the case of needles, to group them at least two by two, has the additional advantage of serving as a display for these needles and hooks. The aim of this conditioning is therefore twofold:
  • - serve, on the one hand, for the storage and classification of needles and hooks, first by the manufacturer, then by the merchant and finally by the user,
  • - and serve, on the other hand, to a good presentation of needles and hooks for sale.

Ce conditionnement est, à cet effet, constitué par un corps allongé réalisé en matière plastique qui, ayant une longueur supérieure à celle des aiguilles ou crochets, comporte, venant de moulage, au moins deux bossages dans chacun desquels est aménagé au moins un canal longitudinal qui sert de passage et de logement à au moins une aiguille ou un crochet et au moins deux petites protubérances qui servent d'organes de clipsage de cette aiguille ou de ce crochet dans ce canal.This packaging is, for this purpose, constituted by an elongated body made of plastic material which, having a length greater than that of the needles or hooks, comprises, coming from molding, at least two bosses in each of which is arranged at least one longitudinal channel which serves as passage and housing at least one needle or hook and at least two small protrusions which serve as clipping members of this needle or hook in this channel.

Les deux bossages aménagés dans le corps du conditionnement peuvent être de longueur égale ou inégale ; et suivant une forme avantageuse d'exécution, le bossage situé à proximité de l'extrémité des aiguilles et crochets, côté tête, est de plus grande longueur et possède une surface suffisante pour servir de plage réceptrice d'une étiquette, par exemple une étiquette adhésive.The two bosses arranged in the packaging body can be of equal or unequal length; and according to an advantageous embodiment, the boss located near the end of the needles and hooks, on the head side, is of greater length and has a sufficient surface to serve as a receiving area for a label, for example a label adhesive.

Suivant une forme préférée d'exécution; le corps du conditionnement objet de l'invention se termine, au-delà de la tête des aiguilles et crochets, par une tête de profil général rectangulaire dont la partie centrale est percée pour servir à la suspension de l'ensemble conditionnement-aiguilles ou crochets à une tringle de suspension faisant ou non partie d'un meuble. Le conditionnement objet de l'invention joue alors véritablement le rôle de présentoir.According to a preferred embodiment; the body of the packaging object of the invention ends, beyond the head of the needles and hooks, by a generally rectangular profile head whose central part is pierced to serve for the suspension of the packaging assembly-needles or hooks to a hanging rod whether or not part of a piece of furniture. The packaging object of the invention then truly plays the role of display.

En outre, dans le cas d'un conditionnement pour aiguilles, les deux bossages de son corps comportent chacun deux canaux parallèles, et les parties centrales de ces deux bossages sont reliées par une nervure centrale qui, en combinaison avec deux minces nervures longitudinales du corps, délimite deux larges canaux servant de logements aux deux aiguilles.In addition, in the case of a packaging for needles, the two bosses of its body each have two parallel channels, and the central parts of these two bosses are connected by a central rib which, in combination with two thin longitudinal ribs of the body , delimits two large canals serving as accommodation with both needles.

L'invention sera bien comprise d'ailleurs, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exécution de ce conditionnement, dans le cas de son application à la présentation de deux aiguilles :

  • Figure 1 en est une vue en perspective ;
  • Figures 2 et 3 en sont des vues respectivement en plan par dessus et par côté ;
  • Figures 4, 5, 6, 7 et 8 en sont, à plus grande échelle, des vues en coupe transversale respectivement suivant IV-IV, V-V, VI-VI, VII-VII et VIII-VIII de figure 2.
The invention will also be clearly understood, with reference to the appended schematic drawing representing, by way of nonlimiting example, an embodiment of this packaging, in the case of its application to the presentation of two needles:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view;
  • Figures 2 and 3 are plan views respectively from above and from side;
  • Figures 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are, on a larger scale, cross-sectional views respectively along IV-IV, VV, VI-VI, VII-VII and VIII-VIII of Figure 2.

Dans ce dessin, (1) désigne un corps allongé réalisé en matière plastique moulée, avantageusement par thermoformage, par exemple en une résine telle que PVC, ABS...Ce corps (1) présente, venant de moulage avec lui :

  • - deux nervures longitudinales latérales (2) ayant une faible épaisseur,
  • - une nervure longitudinale centrale (3) ayant une plus grande épaisseur,
  • - deux bossages (4) et (5) qui ont une hauteur légèrement supérieure à celle de la nervure centrale (3) et qui sont situés à proximité des deux extrémités du corps (1),
  • - et un bossage terminal ou tête (7) qui est situé à l'extrémité libre du corps (1), du côté de son bossage (4).
In this drawing, (1) denotes an elongated body made of molded plastic, advantageously by thermoforming, for example in a resin such as PVC, ABS ... This body (1) has, coming from molding with it:
  • - two lateral longitudinal ribs (2) having a small thickness,
  • - a central longitudinal rib (3) having a greater thickness,
  • - two bosses (4) and (5) which have a height slightly greater than that of the central rib (3) and which are located near the two ends of the body (1),
  • - And a terminal boss or head (7) which is located at the free end of the body (1), on the side of its boss (4).

Les bossages (4), (5) et (7) ont une face supérieure plate et présentent les particularités ci-après.The bosses (4), (5) and (7) have a flat upper face and have the following features.

Dans le bossage formant tête (7) est aménagé un orifice central (8) dont le rôle est de permettre la suspension du corps (1), c'est-à-dire du conditionnement pour aiguilles, à un organe d'accrochage quelconque, par exemple à une tringle faisant partie du non d'un meuble.In the boss forming head (7) is arranged a central orifice (8) whose role is to allow the suspension of the body (1), that is to say packaging for needles, to any hooking member, for example to a rod forming part of the not of a piece of furniture.

Dans chacun des deux autres bossages (4) et (5) sont aménagés deux canaux (9) qui sont disposés longitudinalement, parallèlement l'un à l'autre, et à l'intérieur de chacun desquels débordent deux petites protubérances (10) qui, venant de moulage avec l'ensemble, sont, dans le cas représenté au dessin, décalées l'une par rapport à l'autre ; ces protubérances pourraient d'ailleurs être en un nombre supérieur à deux à l'intérieur de chaque canal et être situées en vis-à-vis l'une de l'autre.In each of the other two bosses (4) and (5) are arranged two channels (9) which are arranged longitudinally, parallel to each other, and inside each of which project two small protrusions (10) which , coming from molding with the assembly, are, in the case shown in the drawing, offset relative to each other; these protuberances could moreover be in a number greater than two inside each channel and be located opposite one another.

Le corps ainsi aménagé sert au conditionnement et à la présentation d'une paire d'aiguilles à tricoter (12). Chaque aiguille pénètre en effet par sa tige dans le canal (9) de chacun des deux bossages (4) et (5) et s'y fixe élastiquement grâce au système de clipsage constitué par les protubérances (10) aménagées à l'intérieur de chaque canal (9). Quant à la tête (13) de chaque aiguille (12), elle se trouve placée dans un logement (14) aménagé à la partie supérieure du conditionnement-présentoir. Ce logement est délimité par la tête (7) du corps (1), par son bossage (4) et par l'extrémité de la nervure centrale longitudinale (3).The body thus arranged is used for packaging and presenting a pair of knitting needles (12). Each needle in fact penetrates by its rod into the channel (9) of each of the two bosses (4) and (5) and is fixed there elastically by means of the clipping system constituted by the protrusions (10) arranged inside of each channel (9). As for the head (13) of each needle (12), it is placed in a housing (14) arranged at the upper part of the packaging-display. This housing is delimited by the head (7) of the body (1), by its boss (4) and by the end of the longitudinal central rib (3).

Dans ce logement apparaît très nettement et est facilement préhensible manuellement la tête (13) de l'aiguille sur laquelle apparaissent les coordonnées de cette aiguille, notamment par exemple sa dimension. En outre, en raison de la surface plane de leurs zones centrales, l'un ou l'autre des bossages (4, 5) peut être utilisé en tant que plage pour la réception d'une étiquette, par exemple adhésive, sur laquelle apparaissent diverses indications relatives à l'origine et à l'utilisation des deux aiguilles. En raison de ses plus grandes dimensions, - c'est de préférence le bossage supérieur (4) qui sert ainsi à la fixation d'une étiquette.In this housing appears very clearly and is easily grippable manually the head (13) of the needle on which appear the coordinates of this needle, in particular for example its dimension. In addition, due to the flat surface of their central areas, either of the bosses (4, 5) can be used as a pad for the reception of a label, for example adhesive, on which appear various indications relating to the origin and use of the two needles. Because of its larger dimensions, - it is preferably the upper boss (4) which is thus used for fixing a label.

Comme il va de soi, l'invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme d'exécution de ce conditionnement qui a été ci-dessus décrite dans le cas particulier de la présentation de deux aiguilles ; elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes de réalisation, quel que soit le nombre d'aiguilles que le conditionnement est destiné à recevoir, et qu'il s'agisse d'aiguilles présentées en un nombre quelconque ou de crochets présentés ou non à l'unité.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the sole embodiment of this packaging which has been described above in the particular case of the presentation of two needles; on the contrary, it embraces all the variant embodiments thereof, whatever the number of needles that the packaging is intended to receive, and whether they are needles presented in any number or hooks presented or not to unity.
