Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Flachverpackung für mehrere, nebeneinander parallel zueinander ausgerichtete längliche Gegenstände, insbes. für Werkzeuge wie Spiral- oder Gewindebohrer, Bit-Einsätze, Sägeblätter oder dergl., die jeweils einzeln in Aufnahmen angeordnet sind, wobei die Aufnahmen an ihrem axial einen Ende offen sind und vor ihrer Öffnung jeweils eine quer zu ihrer Längsrichtung ausgerichtete und zur Entnahme der Gegenstände verstellbare Verschlußlasche aufweisen, die in ihrer Ruhestellung zumindest zum Teil in den lichten öffnungsquerschnitt der Aufnahmen vorstehen und an einer elastischen Zunge angeschlossen sind, die mit einer der zur Längsrichtung der Aufnahmen parallel verlaufenden Seitenwänden verbunden ist.The invention relates to a flat packaging for a plurality of elongated objects which are aligned next to one another in parallel, in particular for tools such as twists or taps, bit inserts, saw blades or the like, which are each arranged individually in receptacles, the receptacles at their axial end are open and in front of their opening each have a locking flap which is oriented transversely to their longitudinal direction and is adjustable for removing the objects, which in their rest position at least partially protrude into the clear opening cross section of the receptacles and are connected to an elastic tongue which is connected to one of the is connected to the longitudinal direction of the recordings parallel side walls.

In der FR-A-1 124 426 sowie in der nicht vorveröffentlichten EP-A-0 379 620 ist eine derartige Flachverpackung beschrieben. Die letztgenannte Flachverpackung ist mit einem Sperrglied versehen, das es verhindert, daß insbes. in Selbstbedienungsgeschäften einzelne Gegenstände aus der gefüllten Flachverpackung unbefugt entnommen werden können. Diese Flachverpackung hat sich an sich in der Praxis sehr bewährt, jedoch besteht die Möglichkeit, daß das Sperrglied ohne Zuhilfenahme von Werkzeug einfach mit den Fingern abgebrochen werden kann, so daß der Schutz gegen Diebstahl einzelner Gegenstände nur bedingt gegeben ist.Such a flat packaging is described in FR-A-1 124 426 and in the unpublished EP-A-0 379 620. The last-mentioned flat packaging is provided with a locking element, which prevents individual objects from being unauthorizedly removed from the filled flat packaging, in particular in self-service shops. This flat packaging has proven itself in practice very well, but there is the possibility that the locking member can be easily broken off with the fingers without the use of tools, so that the protection against theft of individual objects is given only to a limited extent.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde eine Flachverpackung der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, daß sich ein Sicherungsglied nicht ohne weiteres entfernen läßt, ohne daß aber dadurch die spätere Entnahme und erneute Aufbewahrung der Gegenstände in den Aufnahmen beeinträchtigt oder behindert wäre.The invention has for its object to form a flat packaging of the type mentioned in such a way that a securing member can not be easily removed, but without the subsequent removal and storage of the objects in the recordings would be impaired or hindered.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß jede der Verschlußlaschen dem stirnseitigen Ende ihrer Aufnahme mit Abstand gegenübersteht und daß zwischen den Verschlußlaschen und den offenen stirnseitigen Enden der Aufnahmen jeweils ein irreversibel abtrennbares, die Entnahme des jeweiligen Werkzeugs sperrendes Sicherungsstück angeordnet ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that each of the locking tabs faces the front end of its receptacle at a distance and that an irreversibly separable locking piece, which prevents the removal of the respective tool, is arranged between the locking tabs and the open front ends of the receptacles.

Der durch die Erfindung erreichte Fortschritt besteht im wesentlichen darin, daß sich die Sicherungsstücke nicht durch einfaches Umbiegen abbrechen lassen, da sie zwischen den stirnseitigen Enden der Aufnahmen einerseits und den Verschlußlaschen andererseits eingeschlossen sind.The progress achieved by the invention consists essentially in the fact that the securing pieces cannot be broken off simply by bending over, since they are enclosed between the front ends of the receptacles on the one hand and the closure flaps on the other hand.

In bevorzugter Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die Sicherungsstücke als gemeinsame Anschlagleiste ausgebildet, die über schmale, trennbare Stege mit den Stirnseiten der Aufnahmen verbunden sind. Um also die Anschlagleiste zu entfernen, bedarf es eines Werkzeugs wie einer Schere oder einer schmalen Zange, mit deren Hilfe die Stege durchgeschnitten werden.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the securing pieces are designed as a common stop bar, which are connected to the end faces of the receptacles via narrow, separable webs. In order to remove the stop bar, a tool such as scissors or narrow pliers is needed to cut the webs.

Jede der Verschlußlaschen trägt zweckmäßigerweise eine seitlich angeordnete, senkrecht zu ihrer in zur Aufnahme abgewandter Richtung vorstehende Rippe, die sich in Verstellrichtung der Verschlußlasche erstreckt. Dabei hat es sich im Rahmen der Erfindung als sehr zweckmäßig herausgestellt, wenn die Verschlußlasche in ihrer Ruhestellung etwa die halbe Querschnittsfläche der Aufnahmeöffnung überdeckt und wenn die Rippen sich über den freien Rand der Verschlußlasche hinaus bis zu der der Zunge gegenüberstehenden Seitenwand der Aufnahme hin erstrecken. Hierdurch ist zunächst ein verringerter Verstellhub ausreichend, um einen Gegenstand aus einer Aufnahme zu entnehmen. Die gegenüber den Verschlußlaschen längeren Rippen sorgen aber dennoch dafür, daß die Anschlagleiste trotz der verkürzten Verschlußlaschen nicht abgebogen werden können.Each of the locking tabs expediently carries a laterally arranged rib which projects perpendicularly to its rib in the direction facing away from the receptacle and which extends in the adjustment direction of the locking tab. It has proven to be very expedient in the context of the invention if the closure flap in its rest position covers approximately half the cross-sectional area of the receiving opening and if the ribs extend beyond the free edge of the closure flap to the side wall of the receptacle opposite the tongue. As a result, a reduced adjustment stroke is initially sufficient to remove an object from a receptacle. The longer ribs compared to the locking tabs ensure, however, that the stop bar cannot be bent despite the shortened locking tabs.

Um die Verschlußlaschen und die Rippen vor mechanischer Beschädigung zu schützen, ist im Rahmen der Erfindung weiter vorgesehen, daß auf der den Aufnahmen abgewandten Seite der Verschlußlaschen ein sich quer vor den Aufnahmen erstreckender Steg vorgesehen ist, der in einer gemeinsamen Ebene mit den den Zungen gegenüber liegenden Seitenwänden liegt und daß die Rippen an ihrer den Aufnahmen abgewandten Seite mit einer einen Betätigungsvorsprung bildenden Nase versehen sind. Diese Nase ermöglicht es, trotz des den freien Zugang zu den Verschlußlaschen bzw. den Rippen behindernden Steges, die jeweilige Verschlußlasche einfach öffnen zu können.In order to protect the locking tabs and the ribs from mechanical damage, it is further provided in the context of the invention that on the side of the locking tabs facing away from the receptacles, a web extending transversely in front of the receptacles is provided, which is in a common plane with the tongues opposite lying side walls and that the ribs are provided on their side facing away from the receptacles with a nose forming an actuating projection. This nose makes it possible, in spite of the web which obstructs free access to the locking tabs or the ribs, to be able to easily open the respective locking tab.

Weiter ist weiter vorgesehen, daß die Aufnahmen als Vertiefungen in einem im wesentlichen flach augebildeten Packungsoberteil gebildet sind, das plan und formschlüssig mit einem flachen Packungsunterteil verbunden ist, wobei das Packungsunterteil die den Zungen gegenüberstehenden Seitenwände bildet und den Steg sowie die Sicherungsstücke bzw. die Anschlagleiste trägt.It is further provided that the receptacles are formed as recesses in a substantially flat upper part of the pack, which is connected flat and form-fitting to a flat lower part of the pack, the lower part of the pack forming the side walls opposite the tongues and the web and the securing pieces or the stop bar wearing.

Schließlich kann in einer oder mehreren der Aufnahmen eine heraustrennbare, quer zur Längsrichtung der Aufnahme angeordnete Begrenzungsleiste vorgesehen sein.Finally, in one or more of the receptacles, a separable limiting strip arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction of the receptacle can be provided.

Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte Flachverpackung dient zur Aufbewahrung von mehreren, nebeneinander parallel zueinander ausgerichteter länglicher Gegenstände. Insbes. ist die Flachverpackung für Werkzeuge wie Spiral- oder Gewindebohrer, Bit-Einsätze, Sägeblätter oder dergl. vorgesehen. Die Gegenstände sind jeweils einzeln in Aufnahmen 1 angeordnet, wobei die Aufnahmen 1 an ihrem axial einen Ende bei 2 offen sind und vor ihrer Öffnung 2 jeweils eine quer zu ihrer Längsrichtung ausgerichtete und zur Entnahme der Gegenstände verstellbare Verschlußlasche 3 aufweisen. Diese Verschlußlasche 3 steht in ihrer in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ruhestellung zumindest zum Teil in den lichten Öffnungsquerschnitt der Aufnahme 1 vor. Ferner ist die Verschlußlasche 3 an einer elastischen Zunge 4 angeschlossen, die mit einer zur Längsrichtung der Aufnahmen 1 parallel verlaufenden Seitenwand 5 verbunden ist.The flat packaging shown in the drawing serves to store a plurality of elongated objects which are aligned next to one another and parallel to one another. Esp. the flat packaging is intended for tools such as taps or taps, bit inserts, saw blades or the like. The objects are each arranged individually in receptacles 1, the receptacles 1 being open at their axially one end at 2 and each having a closure flap 3 which is oriented transversely to their longitudinal direction and is adjustable in order to remove the objects. In its rest position shown in the drawing, this locking tab 3 projects at least in part into the clear opening cross section of the receptacle 1. Furthermore, the locking tab 3 is connected to an elastic tongue 4 which is connected to a side wall 5 running parallel to the longitudinal direction of the receptacles 1.

Jede der Verschlußlaschen 3 steht, wie insbes. die Fig. 2 erkennen läßt, dem stirnseitigen Ende ihrer Aufnahme 1 mit Abstand gegenüber. Zwischen den Verschlußlaschen 3 und den offenen Stirnseiten der Aufnahmen 1 ist jeweils ein abtrennbares Sicherungsstück 6 angeordnet, das die Entnahme des jeweiligen Werkzeugs zunächst sperrt. In der in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsform sind die einzelnen Sicherungsstücke 6 als gemeinsame Anschlagleiste ausgebildet, die über schmale, trennbare Stege 7 mit den Stirnseiten der Aufnahmen 1 verbunden sind.As can be seen in particular in FIG. 2, each of the locking tabs 3 faces the end of its receptacle 1 at a distance. A detachable securing piece 6 is arranged between the locking tabs 3 and the open end faces of the receptacles 1, which initially blocks the removal of the respective tool. In the embodiment shown in the drawing, the Individual securing pieces 6 formed as a common stop bar, which are connected to the end faces of the receptacles 1 via narrow, separable webs 7.

Jede der Verschlußlaschen 3 trägt eine seitlich angeordnete, senkrecht zu ihrer Ebene vorstehende Rippe 8, die in zur Aufnahme abgewandter Richtung weist und sich in Verstellrichtung der Verschlußlasche erstreckt. Die Verschlußlasche 3 überdeckt in ihrer Ruhestellung etwa die halbe Querschnittsfläche der Aufnahmeöffnung 2, während die Rippen sich über den freien Rand der Verschlußlasche 3 hinaus bis zu der der Zunge 4 gegenüberstehenden Seitenwand 9 der Aufnahme 1 hin erstrecken.Each of the locking tabs 3 carries a laterally arranged rib 8 projecting perpendicular to its plane, which points in the direction facing away from the receptacle and extends in the adjustment direction of the locking tab. In its rest position, the closure flap 3 covers approximately half the cross-sectional area of the receiving opening 2, while the ribs extend beyond the free edge of the closure flap 3 to the side wall 9 of the receptacle 1 opposite the tongue 4.

Auf der den Aufnahmen 1 abgewandten Seite der Verschlußlaschen 3 ist ein sich quer vor den Aufnahmen 1 erstreckender Steg 10 vorgesehen, der in einer gemeinsamen Ebene mit den den Zungen 4 gegenüber liegenden Seitenwänden 9 liegt und die Verschlußlaschen 3 bzw. die Rippen 8 vor Beschädigung schützt. Die Rippen 8 sind an ihrer den Aufnahmen 1 abgewandten Seite mit einer einen Betätigungsvorsprung bildenden Nase 11 versehen.On the side of the closure tabs 3 facing away from the receptacles 1, a web 10 extending transversely in front of the receptacles 1 is provided which lies in a common plane with the side walls 9 lying opposite the tongues 4 and protects the closure tabs 3 or the ribs 8 from damage . The ribs 8 are provided on their side facing away from the receptacles 1 with a nose 11 forming an actuating projection.

Die Aufnahmen sind im einzelnen als Vertiefungen in einem im wesentlichen flach ausgebildeten, in Fig. 3 allein dargestellten Packungsoberteil ausgebildet. Das Packungsoberteil ist plan und formschlüssig mit einem flachen, aus der Fig. 4 ersichtlichen Packungsunterteil verbunden, wobei das Packungsunterteil die den Zungen 4 gegenüberstehenden Seitenwände 9 bildet und den Steg 10 sowie die Sicherungsstücke 6 bzw. die Anschlagleiste trägt.In detail, the receptacles are formed as depressions in a substantially flat upper part of the pack, shown only in FIG. 3. The upper part of the pack is connected flat and form-fitting to a flat lower part of the pack which can be seen in FIG. 4, the lower part of the pack forming the side walls 9 opposite the tongues 4 and carrying the web 10 and the securing pieces 6 or the stop bar.

In den Aufnahmen 1 können auch in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellte Begrenzungsleisten vorgesehen sein, die bedarfsweise heraustrennbar sind. Dadurch besteht die Möglichkeit, auch kürzere Gegenstände in den Aufnahmen 1 unterzubringen, ohne daß diese in der Aufnahme 1 hin- und herrutschen können. Dadurch wird auch der Eindruck vermieden, die Aufnahme sei mit einem falschen Gegenstand bzw. unvollständig bestückt.Boundary strips (not shown in the drawing) can also be provided in the receptacles 1 and can be removed if necessary. This makes it possible to accommodate even shorter objects in the receptacles 1 without them being able to slide back and forth in the receptacle 1. This also avoids the impression that the picture is loaded with the wrong item or is incomplete.
