Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a box for staples joined in strips, intended to supply a stapler.
  • the box consists of a sleeve of rectangular section receiving a part of a box in the form of a drawer containing the staples. This is especially the embodiment for staples for office staplers. In the other cases, the staples are placed in simple boxes.
  • the staple bars formed by juxtaposed staples joined by a film of varnish are generally joined two by two head to tail and forming a double bar.
  • the double bars have a rectangular "closed" section.
  • the expression bar will designate either a single bar or a double bar.
  • One of the main disadvantages of packaging staples in boxes is that after the removal of a few bars, the bars are relatively free in their packaging; they go awry and can break especially if the half full boxes fall or are transported from one site to another.
  • the present invention aims to create a packaging of staple bars, making it possible to condition the bars in a protected manner and to facilitate the presentation and distribution of the bars whatever the dimensions of the staples.
  • This box has the advantage of having an extremely simple structure, of being composed of a very reduced number of parts and of being of a very simple filling at the time of its assembly.
  • the constituent parts are made with the same molds whatever the staples.
  • the only adaptations concern the lower part and the ejector; the bottom of the bar magazine will be adjusted in thickness by an appropriate shim placed in the mold; a similar means makes it possible to adapt the part of the mold of the ejector relating to the housing.
  • the staple case is particularly practical to use; after removal of the tamper-evident plate, the ejector removes the bar from the end of the stack and presents it outside the box which facilitates gripping.
  • the other bars of the stack remain perfectly maintained parallel to one another, the stack pushed by the pusher resting on the ejector. This avoids any breakage of the bars.
  • the box is easy to handle and has no drawbacks for the strips; it can easily be hooked even, for example, to a belt loop in a workwear.
  • this box facilitates the identification of staples and staplers, preventing customers from making any purchase errors.
  • the staple box consists of a lower part 1, a cover 2, an ejector 3 and a pusher 4.
  • the lower part 1 comprises a magazine 10 in the form of a channel corresponding to the location of the staple bars 5 arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction XX of the magazine 10 or of the lower part 1.
  • This magazine 10 is delimited on each side by a lateral guide 11, 12 defining the width of the magazine relatively precisely.
  • the magazine 10 is also defined by a bottom 15 generally in excess thickness with respect to the lower face 16 (FIG. 2C) of the lower part 1 and chosen as a function of the width L of the staples (FIG. 9A).
  • the magazine 10 is delimited by the cover 2.
  • This channel-shaped magazine 10 is open at its two ends; at one of its ends or first end it leads to a location 13 receiving the ejector 3, and, at the other or second end, it leads to a location 14 receiving the pusher 4.
  • the location 13 of the ejector 3 is also delimited by a front wall 17 precisely positioned and serving as a guide for the ejector 3, movable in the direction ZZ perpendicular to the plane of the lower part 1 (i.e. - say perpendicular to the direction XX and to the transverse direction YY).
  • the lower part 1 has an outer edge 18 which surrounds the lower face 16 and gives it the outer contour.
  • This edge 18 is generally separate from the guides 11, 12, (at least in the embodiment shown and in the preferred embodiments) so as not to impose on the entire mold used for the manufacture of the lower part, the precision constraints imposed in particular on the lateral guides 11, 12, at the bottom 15, at the front wall 17 of the location 13, etc.
  • the lower part 1 carries a lug 19 with a fixing orifice 20 intended to allow the attachment of the box to shelving or standardized displays.
  • This orifice 20 is open transversely, and the opening is closed by a carabiner 21 integrated into the mass.
  • This opening makes it possible to hang the box, for example on a belt loop for users who need to have staples on them such as, for example, upholsterers.
  • the edge 18 of the lower face 16 also includes attachment means such as lugs 22 and attachment holes 23 intended to cooperate with homologous means provided on the cover 2.
  • the cover 2 covering the lower part 1, the magazine 10 and the locations 13, 14, is a relatively flat part (the entire thickness of the box is represented by the lower part 1 with its lateral guides 11, 12 and its peripheral edge. 18).
  • the cover 2 consists of an upper face 30 with a lateral edge 31, of reduced dimensions as already indicated.
  • the upper face 30 occupies most of the cover 2.
  • the cover has a window 32 initially occupied by a tamper-evident plate 33, which retains the ejector 3 in the depressed position and prohibits the extraction of the staple bars 5. To extract the staple bars, it suffices to remove the plate 33.
  • the ejector 3 is thus released which can come out of its location while being guided by the edge of the window 32 of the cover 2. This guide is completed by lateral cutouts 34, 35 through which the side legs of the ejector 3 pass.
  • the cover On its rim 31, the cover includes complementary hooking means 36, 37 constituted by lugs and housings in the homologous positions of the corresponding means provided on the lower part 1.
  • the ejector 3 is a drawer-shaped part, movable in the direction ZZ between a retracted position, that is to say applied against the bottom of the location 13 in the lower part 1 and an extended position, in relief relative to the cover 2 in the window 32 to enable the bar thus removed to be extracted by hand from the stack 24 of bars in the magazine 10.
  • the ejector 3 comprises a housing 40, open in the direction XX to receive the staple bar located at the end of the stack 37 in the magazine 1; this stack 37 is pushed by the pusher 4.
  • This housing 40 is also open in the direction ZZ to allow the removal of the bars 5.
  • the ejector 3 comprises a front partition 41 and lugs 42, 43 with a guide surface 44.
  • the ejector 3 is guided in the window 32 by its front wall 41 against the wall 16 of the housing and the walls 44 of the lugs 42 , 43 bear against the corresponding face of the cutouts 34, 35.
  • the ejector 3 also includes a spring 45 which pushes it towards the exit position.
  • the ejector 3 After removal of the tamper-evident plate 33, the ejector 3 comes into its exit position which is its normal position. It is only by pushing the legs 42, 43 by hand that the ejector 3 can be pushed into its retracted position.
  • the injector reaches the end of its stroke, its housing 40 is then located below the bottom 15 of the magazine 10 so that the bar, which is located at the front of the stack 15 in the magazine 10, can slide in the housing 40.
  • the length of this housing in the direction XX just corresponds to the height H of a bar (FIG. 9A). Under the effect of its spring 45, the ejector 3 can then come into the extended position and present the bar. The extraction thereof from the housing 40 is facilitated by the cutout 46 for gripping.
  • the user extracts the double bar from the housing 40 but can put back the second (single) bar there if he does not need it at this time.
  • the various component parts of the box namely the lower part 1, the cover 2, the ejector 3 and the pusher 4, are preferably each made in one piece of synthetic material, by injection.
  • a clip is a U-shaped piece of rectangular section having a width L corresponding to the length of the cross member and a height H corresponding to the length of the two branches.
  • the width and height are different from one manufacturer of staples (and staplers) to another; the height depends in particular on the nature of the materials receiving the staples.
  • the staple bars must be housed in a magazine of relatively precise dimensions, both to prevent them from moving in the magazine and from being able to cross or seize, it is necessary that the spacing of the surfaces of guide 11, 12 of the magazine 10 is relatively precise. This is possible because the parts of the mold for these lateral surfaces 11, 12 are produced independently of the external shape of the lower part 1 of the box. Another requirement is that of the width of the magazine 10 corresponding to the width of the staples (or staple bars, this width being measured in the direction YY). To adapt to different widths L, it suffices to place in the mold, not shown, pieces of different thicknesses forming the bottom 10.
  • the base mold of the lower part 1 does not have a shim for the bottom 15 of the magazine 10. This corresponds to the manufacture of a lower part 1 intended for staples having the greatest width L. To adapt this mold to staples of different widths, shims corresponding to the thickness of the bottom 15 to be produced are placed in the mold.
  • the packaging of the staples is extremely simple.
  • the staple bars are placed in a magazine 10 of an appropriate lower part 1.
  • the ejector 3 and the pusher 4 are placed; for the latter we compress the spring by wedging the pusher 4 in its location 14 so that it does not press on the stack 24 of the bars 5.
  • the cover 2 is put in place by hanging it on the lower part 1; by pressing in the cover 2, the spring 45 of the ejector 3 is compressed.
  • FIGS. 2A-2D show in more detail the shape of the lower part 1, in particular the outer shape, that is to say the edge 18 of the lower part 1. Furthermore, the carabiner 21 is shown in its demolding position. The carabiner 21 is released from the beak of the opening 20 of the tab 19; to make it play its role of carabiner, it suffices to pass it by elastic deformation under the spout 20A. (position 21 'shown in dotted lines).
  • the lower part has small grooves 60, embellishing the shape of the lower part 1 and preventing the box from slipping when held in the hand.
  • FIG. 2A shows that the bottom 15 includes references B.E. corresponding to a certain type of staples.
  • the references are useful for loading the magazine 10 with the bars.
  • FIGS. 3A-3C show in more detail the shape of the cover 2, with its rounding complementary to the rounding and to the shape of the part lower 1.
  • the face 30 of the cover 2 can receive various indications making it possible to identify, preferably in a redundant manner, the contents of the box.
  • the face 30 can receive the indications relating to the different staplers that can receive the staples contained in the box.
  • One can also provide a location 38 well identified by a corner for example in color 39 to receive a reference letter, the corner 39 itself being in a reference color.
  • These letter and color references can be identified on an explanatory table associated with the staple case distributor, to facilitate the identification of staples at the time of purchase.
  • FIGS. 4A-4B show more precisely the shape of the lower part 1, with the bottom 15 of the magazine 10, the positioning of the stack 24 of bars 5, the shape of the hooking means 22, etc ...
  • the two sectional views of the cover 5A, 5B complementary to the sectional views of FIGS. 4A-4B show the particular shape of the cover 2 with its housings for the passage of the ends of the attachment branches 22 of the lower part 1 as well as the shape window 32 and tabs 37.
  • FIGS. 6A-6E show the particular shape of the ejector 4 and in particular of the lateral legs 42, 43 with ribs 47 facilitating the pushing on the legs 42, 43; these figures also show an embodiment of the spring 45 constituted by lugs which, in the demolding position, are substantially perpendicular to the lower part of the housing 40 of the ejector 3 (parallel to the direction ZZ). After installation, the legs constituting the spring take the position 45 'shown in thin lines. It is also possible to produce by molding the tabs forming the spring 45, in an inclined position, and to play on their elasticity to extract them from the mold.
  • the pusher 4 consists, as is shown explicitly in FIGS. 7A-7C, of a plate 50 intended to bear against the end of the stack of bars.
  • This plate 50 can be bordered at least laterally by a flange 51, 52 to facilitate its holding and its guidance.
  • the pusher 4 is provided with a double spring 53, 54 constituted by a double strip folded in accordion. The doubling of the spring 53, 54 makes it possible to exert a regular force in the direction XX (FIG. 7A) identical to the direction XX of FIG. 1.
  • the pusher 4 is preferably made in one piece with its springs 53, 54 in the form of an injected plastic part.
  • FIG. 8 shows a variant of a plate pusher 60 and two springs 61, 62.
  • FIG. 9A shows a clip 100 of width L and height H.
  • FIG. 9B shows a bar 5 of staples. The staples are rotated 90 °. This figure also shows a system of axes X, Y, Z corresponding to the system shown in Figure 1 and showing the orientation of the bar 5 placed in the magazine 10 not shown.
  • FIG. 9C shows the union of two bars 5 ', 5' 'forming a double bar 5.
  • the staples packaged according to the invention can be used in all manual electric or pneumatic staplers.
  • the marks and indications carried by each box allow an identification from the box both during filling and upon purchase.
  • the width of the box that is to say the width of the location of the bars, is chosen so that the bars have a length corresponding to the smallest magazine and half of the longest magazine. This also corresponds to bars which are the least fragile to handle.
