Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a case of new and original characteristics which is particularly effective and convenient when used for packing, presentation, display and preservation, in particular for cutlery.
  • the conventional rigid cases are made of box elements normally of wood or cardboard covered with paper and/or cloth of better or poorer quality, having inside a supporting base of rigid material, also covered with cloth, showing encased forms for the fixing of the cutlery.
  • These well-known cases even if having the advantage of completely displaying the cutlery, are effected by various inconveniences, amongst which it is possible to number, for example, excessive incidence of labour and materials, necessity that the case be rigid in order to render functional the encased forms on the support, and bulky packing with consequent disadvantages of storage and expensive cost of transport.
  • the flexible cases are made of pieces of fabric, of appropriate thickness and quality, on which are sewn pockets of the appropriate dimensions, capable of containing the cutlery to be preserved, these mentioned pieces of fabric being then, in the final phase, rolled up.
  • the cases in this category have the advantage that the packing is light and not bulky, with consequent ease of storage and less incidence of transport cost.
  • Cases have also been proposed consisting of an external flexible cover and of an internal semi-rigid supporting base provided with raised ledges, transversal or longitudinal, these also in semi-rigid material, displaying one or more spaced slots, cut from the entire thickness of the raised ledges.
  • Each slot is capable of holding a piece of cutlery when inserted, instead of being encased as in the supports of the previous rigid cases.
  • Cases of this kind being light and not bulky, can easily be stored and transported with a low cost.
  • the use of these cases has anyway encountered technical, economical and commercial disadvantages, caused by the fact that all the slots present on the single ledges are raised side-by-side so that the respective loops are found all on the same line.
  • each point at which the ledge is glued to the supporting base is subjected to tear stress when cutlery is inserted or extracted in adjacent slots.
  • the case, particularly for cutlery, essentially comprises: a cover, optionally provided with blocking means in the closed position; a supporting element, optionally joined to the cover at least externally, from which is extracted, by cutting the entire thickness, at least a row of spaced loops, arranged side by side or placed in such a way that the adjacent loops are not on the same line and determine with the imaginary lines that join their corresponding extremities a geometric shape of rhomboidal form; and in correspondence with the central part of each loop, at least at one of the sides, a cavity, to facilitate the insertion or extraction of cutlery, optionally with the form of a parallelepiped.
  • the insertion cavity substantially with the form of a parallelepiped can have a section with the form of a trapezium, either isosceles or rectangular.
  • the section of the parallelepiped forming the insertion cavity on the side opposite to the one adjacent to the loop can present rounded angles.
  • the loops in a row can be conveniently staggered in respect to the next row to allow the intercalated disposition of the articles inserted in the loops.
  • the cover can be made of flexible material suitable to be closed as a wallet and can consist of a rectangular piece of relatively firm fabric.
  • the blocking means can be press-studs.
  • the supporting base can be made of semi-rigid material, natural or synthetic.
  • cover of the case consisting of a piece of relatively firm fabric, divided by an imaginary fold line, shown in the figure by the dotted line 2, into a covering part 3 and a holding part 4.
  • the cover 1 is provided with a metallic element 5 on each corner, to reinforce it and to make it rigid, clamped on the respective edge and presenting, for the stop in the closed position, that is with the cover 3 folded over like a wallet onto the holding part 4, two press-studs in which the feminine elements 6 are fixed in a relation conveniently spaced, in correspondence to the edge of the cover 3, while the masculine elements 7 are hooked on the border of the holding part 4 in positions respectively corresponding to the feminine elements 6.
  • the cutlery support 8 of rectangular form, in semi-rigid material.
  • two rows of loops 9 are extracted (in the present embodiment six in each row).
  • the cuts are widened in correspondence to the central part of each of the loops, in such a way as to create by the side of them two cavities 10 and 11 with the form of a parallelepiped having a section with the form of an isoscelese trapezium, of which the major base is adjacent tc the loop and of which the minor base is on rounded angles.
  • the loops 9, suitable to hold an inserted piece of cutlery, in the drawing a teaspoon 12 are arranged side by side, spaced, parallel to each other and oblique to the sides of the rectangular perimeter of the supporting base.
  • Figure 2 shows a second embodiment of the present invention regarding a case for three pieces of cutlery consisting of a fork 14, a knife 15 and a spoon 16.
  • the rectangular supporting base 8 in semi-­rigid material, presents on the right half, as seen in figure 2, a raising element 17.
  • a raising element 17 In the upper and lower part of the raising element, are the loops 9, with insertion cavities 10 and 11 as in the example of figure 1, for the accomodation of the fork 14 and the spoon 16.
  • the loop 18 for the knife 15 In the central part of the raising element 17 is the loop 18 for the knife 15, parallel to the loops 9 for the fork 14 and the spoon 16, and provided with cavities for insertion 19 and extraction 20, each one with a parallelepiped form with a section of rectangular trapezium form, the section of insertion being wider and equal in height to that of extraction.
