An individual packaging for transport of chain saws having the chain guide and the chain mounted on the motor, characterized in that the packaging (1) is a rectangular parallelepiped (1) having a length (2) substantially equal to half the overall length (3) of the complete chain saw, and in that said packaging (1) comprises on one of its lateral faces (5) two parallel slots (6) having dimensions which allow the passage of a chain guide (4) of a chain saw therethrough, one of said slots (6) giving passage to the chain guide (4) of the packaged chain saw and the other of said slots giving passage to the chain guide (4) of another chain saw arranged in head to tail configuration with said chain saw.

Description

L'invention concerne un emballage pour tronçonneuses.The invention relates to a packaging for chainsaws.

Actuellement les tronçonneuses sont emballées avec le guide de chaîne et la chaîne démontés afin de pouvoir réaliser un emballage compact et facilement gerbable, notamment en vue de l'expédition sur des palettes ou dans des conteneurs.Currently, chainsaws are packed with the chain guide and chain disassembled in order to be able to produce a compact and easily stackable packaging, in particular for shipment on pallets or in containers.

Il en résulte l'inconvénient que le montage du guide de chaîne doit être effectué par le revendeur ou même de plus en plus fréquemment par l'utilisateur final lorsque la tronçonneuse est achetée dans un magasin à grande surface.This results in the disadvantage that the assembly of the chain guide must be carried out by the dealer or even more and more frequently by the end user when the chainsaw is purchased from a store with a large surface area.

L'invention vise donc à procurer un emballage pour tronçonneuse permettant à celle-ci d'être présentée avec le guide de chaîne monté en usine, tout en restant compact et autorisant un gerbage régulier.The invention therefore aims to provide a packaging for chainsaw allowing it to be presented with the chain guide fitted in the factory, while remaining compact and allowing regular stacking.

Selon l'invention, l'emballage est un parallélépipède rectangle de longueur égale à sensiblement la moitié de la longueur hors tout de la tronçonneuse complète. Ledit emballage étant muni sur au moins und de ses faces de moyens permettant le passage des guides de chaîne de deux tronçonneuses disposées tête-bêche.According to the invention, the packaging is a rectangular parallelepiped with a length equal to substantially half the overall length of the complete chainsaw. Said packaging being provided on at least und of its faces with means allowing the passage of the chain guides of two chainsaws arranged head to tail.

On obtient ainsi un emballage individuel pour tronçonneuse permettant une expédition par groupe de deux dans un volume sensiblement égal à celui occupé par une seule tronçonneuse.One thus obtains an individual packaging for chainsaw allowing a shipment by group of two in a volume substantially equal to that occupied by a single chainsaw.

Selon une première variante de réalisation, l'une des faces latérales de l'emballage comporte deux fentes parallèles de dimensions permettant le passage d'un guide de chaîne.According to a first alternative embodiment, one of the lateral faces of the packaging has two parallel slots of dimensions allowing the passage of a chain guide.

Selon une seconde variante de réalisation, l'une des faces latérales de l'emballage comporte une seule fente pour le passage d'un guide de chaîne , tandis que la face longitudinale adjacente comporte une ouverture pour permettre le passage de la poignée solidaire du bloc moteur.According to a second alternative embodiment, one of the lateral faces of the packaging has a single slot for the passage of a chain guide, while the adjacent longitudinal face has an opening to allow the passage of the handle integral with the block engine.

Dans les deux cas, on peut disposer les tronçonneuses tête-bêche ce qui fait économiser une place considérable au stockage.In both cases, the chainsaws can be placed head to tail which saves a considerable amount of storage space.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui va suivre d'exemples de réalisation non limitatifs en relation avec les dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • La figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective d'une tronçonneuse dans un emballage selon une première variante de réalisation ;
  • La figure 2 montre l'assemblage tête-bêche de deux tronçonneuses emballées selon la figure 1 ;
  • La figure 3 est une vue schématique en perspective du bloc réalisé par deux tronçonneuses emballées selon la figure 1;
  • La figure 4 est une vue schématique en perspective d'une tronçonneuse dans un emballage selon une deuxième variante de réalisation de l'invention;
  • La figure 5 est une vue schématique en perspective du bloc réalisé par deux tronçonneuses emballées selon la figure 1.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which follows of nonlimiting exemplary embodiments in relation to the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a chainsaw in a package according to a first embodiment;
  • Figure 2 shows the head-to-tail assembly of two chainsaws packed according to Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is a schematic perspective view of the block made by two chainsaws packed according to Figure 1;
  • Figure 4 is a schematic perspective view of a chainsaw in a package according to a second embodiment of the invention;
  • FIG. 5 is a schematic perspective view of the block produced by two chainsaws packed according to FIG. 1.

Selon la première variante de réalisation représentée aux figures 1 à 3, chaque tronçonneuse est emballée individuellement dans un conteneur de forme parallélépipédique rectangle 1 d'une longueur 2, sensiblement égale à la moitié de la longueur hors tout 3 de la tronçonneuse, le guide de chaîne 4 étant monté. L'une des faces latérales 5 de l'emballage comporte en partie basse deux fentes 6 parallèles de dimensions suffisantes pour autoriser le passage du guide de chaîne 4 avec son portège-guide non représenté.According to the first alternative embodiment represented in FIGS. 1 to 3, each chainsaw is individually wrapped in a container of rectangular parallelepiped shape 1 with a length 2, substantially equal to half of the overall length 3 of the chainsaw, the chain guide 4 being mounted. One of the side faces 5 of the packaging has at the bottom two parallel slots 6 of sufficient size to allow the passage of the chain guide 4 with its guide carrier not shown.

Ainsi, le bloc moteur et sa poignée se trouvent enfermés et calés par tous moyens appropriés à l'intérieur de l'emballage tandis que le guide de chaîne fait saillie par l'une des fentes 6.Thus, the engine block and its handle are enclosed and wedged by any appropriate means inside the packaging while the chain guide projects through one of the slots 6.

Il suffit de présenter tête-bêche une autre tronçonneuse emballée, les deux guides de chaîne passeront respectivement dans la fente restée libre de leurs emballages et l'on réalise un bloc parallélépipédique régulier de volume sensiblement égal à celui d'une seule tronçonneuse et constituant l'emballage de deux tronçonneuses.It suffices to present head-to-tail another packaged chainsaw, the two chain guides will pass respectively into the slot which remains free of their packaging and a regular parallelepiped block is produced with a volume substantially equal to that of a single chainsaw and constituting the packaging of two chainsaws.

De préférence, une face 7 d'un emballage comporte à l'emplacement de la poignée une zone affaiblie ou prédécoupée 8 qu'il suffit de défoncer pour saisir la poignée et transporter individuellement chaque tronçonneuse.Preferably, one face 7 of a package has at the location of the handle a weakened or precut area 8 which suffices to be knocked down to grip the handle and transport each chainsaw individually.

Selon la seconde variante de réalisation représentée sur les figures 3 et 4, la face latérale 5 de l'emballage 1 ne comporte qu'une seule fente 6 pour le passage d'un guide de chaîne 4, tandis que l'une des faces longitudinales adjacentes 9 comporte une découpe 10 pour le passage de la poignée 11.According to the second embodiment shown in Figures 3 and 4, the side face 5 of the package 1 has only one slot 6 for the passage of a chain guide 4, while one of the longitudinal faces adjacent 9 has a cutout 10 for the passage of the handle 11.

Dans cet exemple de réalisation, il n'est pas nécessaire de prévoir une zone affaiblie ou prédécoupée pour permettre le transport individuel de la tronçonneuse par sa poignée.In this exemplary embodiment, it is not necessary to provide a weakened or precut area to allow individual transport of the chainsaw by its handle.

En effet, celle-ci faisant saillie hors de l'emballage comme le montrent les figures 3 et 4, sert à la fois au maintien d'un guide de chaîne d'une autre tronçonneuse présentée tête-bêche pour le stockage, et à la préhension individuelle d'une tronçonneuse.Indeed, the latter protruding from the packaging as shown in Figures 3 and 4, is used both to maintain a chain guide of another chainsaw presented head to tail for storage, and to individual grip of a chainsaw.
