Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tray for storing lighting lamps, consisting of a plate, the position of use is horizontal, which carries a plurality of individual housings for storing a lamp in each housing.
  • Such a tray is used in particular for the handling and / or delivery of lamps.
  • a tray according to the above preamble is known from French Patent No. 1,089,211.
  • the tray described by this document comprises a corrugated cardboard plate on which are glued tubes forming cells, also made of corrugated cardboard, each of which is designed to contain a lamp.
  • Several trays can be stacked in a cardboard box. With such a tray, it is not easy to take out a lamp, so much so that the document recommends first tearing from the plate one of the cardboard tubes, to facilitate the extraction of the lamp it contains .
  • the invention proposes to provide a tray which is suitable for handling and transporting lamps whose surface of the bulb is fragile, for example because it is covered with a colored varnish.
  • Such lamps are now used for example in the automobile to obtain colored lights while the apparent exterior glassware is translucent. The introduction of such a lamp in a cardboard package can damage the varnish of the bulb.
  • a handling plate according to the invention is remarkable in that the dimension of an individual housing is of the order of magnitude that of a lamp base, so that a lamp base can freely penetrate a housing but not an entire lamp, and in that the plate is provided with wings which are perpendicular thereto so, when several plates are stacked, to maintain a determined distance between the plates.
  • This tray also has the advantage of being as much a handling tray, that is to say a manufacturing tool, as a packaging component for the delivery of wholesale lamps.
  • the same tray can be used by the lamp manufacturer on its production line and by its customer, for example an automobile manufacturer, on a vehicle lamp mounting station.
  • the trays can be used a large number of times.
  • the plate is advantageously located at the height of the top of the housings (it is of course at the top in the position of use) and it is provided with orifices for the passage of the lamp bases, and wings on each of its faces, the wings extending over both sides in intersecting directions.
  • the upper wings are shorter and therefore more rigid than if the plate were at the bottom of the housings. Due to the crossed directions of the wings, the upper wings of a tray support the lower wings of the tray which is on it, when the trays are stacked.
  • the wings are advantageously provided with notches on their free edge to receive there, when trays are stacked, the free edge of a wing belonging to another tray.
  • the entire tray is advantageously molded in plastic in one piece.
  • the wings which are situated on the same side of the plate as the housings advantageously form bridges between adjacent housings.
  • the housing section is advantageously decreasing from their orifice to their bottom.
  • the storage lamps have bases fitted with lugs. It is therefore necessary to provide in the housing a lateral passage for these pins. Vertical grooves dug in the wall of the housings would allow this, but that would require looking for the suitable position to introduce the lamp so that the pins are facing the grooves, and in addition the position of the grooves would be specific for a type of lamp. .
  • the housings being of generally circular section, their wall is provided inside with radial ribs which extend over the entire depth of the housing.
  • ribs serve as a stop at the bottom of the housing to support the lamps, costing less material than a solid bottom, with a mold for making the plate simpler.
  • the open bottom makes it possible to visually check the welds at the base of the lamps once they are in place in the tray.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a tray according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a bottom view of one end of a tray.
  • FIG. 3 is an end view of the end of a tray, cut along the line A-A of FIG. 2.
  • the tray of Figure 1 is designed to store lighting lamps 3, for example "stop" or flashing automobile lamps with a power of 21 watts. It consists of a plate 1 whose position of use is horizontal, which carries a plurality of individual housings 2 for storing a lamp in each of them. The whole of this tray is molded in plastic in one piece.
  • the individual housings 2 are of generally circular section and their dimension is of the order of magnitude that of a base of lamp 3, so that a base can freely enter a housing with its pins 29, without forcing but also without excessive play.
  • the housings are located under the plate 1, that is to say the latter is placed at the height of the top of the housings.
  • the lamps can be introduced into the housings through orifices 23.
  • the reference 4 indicates a lamp stored in a housing. The horizontal distance between two neighboring housings is such that the varnished bulb of a lamp cannot touch that of the neighbor. The bulb cannot touch any part of the tray either.
  • the plate 1 is provided with wings 5, 6 which are perpendicular to it, that is to say that they are vertical in the position of use, and which extend in a direction indicated by an arrow 24. These wings, when two trays are stacked, maintain a sufficient distance between the plates to prevent the underside of the upper tray from touching a bulb stored in the lower tray.
  • Figure 2 shows that the underside of the plate is also provided with wings 7, 9, 10, 12, which extend in a direction indicated by an arrow 25.
  • the arrows 24 and 25 have directions that intersect.
  • the upper wings 5, 6 are provided with notches 13, 14 on their free edge. When another plate is placed on top, these notches receive the lower edge of a wing 7 or 12 of the other plate, which prevents any sliding in the direction of arrow 24.
  • Some lower wings 7, 12 are provided with notches 15, 16 on their free edge. When the plate is placed on another plate, these notches are astride the upper edge of a wing 5, 6 of the other plate, which prevents any sliding in the direction of arrow 25.
  • Figure 2 shows that the wings 7 to 12 each form a bridge which connects two adjacent housings, and thus connect all the housings from that 26 located near one edge of the plate to that 27 located near the other edge.
  • FIG. 3 shows that the section of the housings decreases from their orifice 23 towards their bottom 28.
  • the wall of the housings is provided inside with radial ribs 17, 18, 19 which extend over the entire depth of the housing, and other radial ribs 20, 21, 22 which extend only over a part of the wall located at the bottom of the housing.
  • the ribs 17, 18, 19 come into contact with the cylindrical wall of a lamp base by favoring, by the shape of their edge, the passage of the pins 29.
  • the ribs 20, 21, 22 serve to perfect the centering of the lamp at bottom of housing.
  • the ribs 17, 18, 19 are less prominent than the ribs 20, 21, 22, at least at the bottom of the housing, so that the circular section of a lamp base can pass between the three edges of the ribs 17, 18, 19, while on the contrary this same circular section must abut on the top of the ribs 20, 21, 22.
  • An additional support is also constituted by the ribs 17, 18, 19 at the bottom of the housing, in order to completely isolate the bulb from any contact with it.
