Abstract

A needle package ( 1 ), particularly for packaging needles (N), has a hold-down device ( 23 ) that is disposed in an interior space (I) and serves to secure the needles (N) in the interior space (I). The hold-down device ( 23 ) is formed, for example, by one or two resilient elements, such as clamping lips ( 24, 25 ), which extend transversely to the needles (N) through the interior space (I). The clamping lips ( 24, 25 ) are disposed on the inside of a segment of the package ( 1 ) that is moved toward the needles (N) after the package has been filled, so the clamping lips ( 24, 25 ) rest against the needles (N). The segment can be formed, for example, by a lid segment ( 12 ) that is seated to pivot on the receiving area ( 3 ) of the package ( 1 ). This package can be filled particularly simply, and is suitable for various types of needles.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung, insbesondere für Maschinen-Nähnadeln oder andere längliche Elemente.The invention relates to a package, in particular for machine sewing needles or other elongated elements.

Hersteller von länglichen Teilen, wie beispielsweise Maschinenteilen, Maschinen-Nähnadeln oder anderweitigen länglichen Elementen stehen häufig vor der Aufgabe, ihre Produkte in Verpackungen konfektionieren zu müssen, in denen sie geordnet aufbewahrt sind und aus der sie bedarfsweise bequem entnommen werden können. Herstellerseitig kommt es aber darauf an, dass die betreffenden Verpackungen möglichst einfach zu bestücken sind. Für größere Serien kommen Bestückungsautomaten in Frage. Kleinere Serien sind in der Regel von Hand zu bestücken. Deshalb kommt es bei der Konzeption der Verpackung darauf an, dass diese möglichst einfach zu bestücken ist. Weiter kommt es darauf an, dass auch unterschiedliche Teile verpackt werden können, so dass für ein Teilesortiment ähnlicher Teile keine unterschiedlichen Verpackungen bereitzustellen sind.Manufacturer of elongated parts, such as Machine parts, machine sewing needles or otherwise elongated elements are often faced with the task of their To package products in packaging, in which they are kept in order and from which they are needed can be conveniently removed. Manufacturer side but it is important that the packaging in question as simple as possible to equip. For larger ones Series come picking machines in question. smaller Series are usually to be filled by hand. Therefore it depends on the design of the packaging, that this is as easy as possible to equip. Further it is important that different parts are packed can be so similar for a parts assortment Parts do not provide different packaging are.

Aus der DE 196 46 845 C1 ist eine Nadelverpackung gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bekannt, die einen einstückig ausgebildeten Hüllkörper aufweist, der sich zu einer flachen rechteckigen Verpakkung schließen lässt. In diesem Zustand umschließt er einen Innenraum zur Aufnahme gerader oder gebogener Maschinen-Nähnadeln. Um diese geordnet aufnehmen zu können, sind in dem Innenraum nebeneinander Längsstege oder auch gebogene Stege angeordnet, die die Nadeln separieren.From DE 196 46 845 C1 is a needle package according to the preamble of claim 1 known, the one-piece enveloping body which turns into a flat rectangular package close. In this state he encloses one Interior for receiving straight or curved machine sewing needles. To record these in an orderly manner, are in the interior next to each other longitudinal webs or arranged curved webs, which separate the needles.

Die Stege benötigen jeweils für sich Raum, der für die Nadeln nicht zur Verfügung steht. Darüber hinaus, sind sie nadelspezifisch ausgebildet, d.h. für gerade Nadeln und für gebogene Nadeln müssen jeweils unterschiedliche Stege bereit gestellt werden. Dies kann bedeuten, dass unterschiedliche Verpackungen bereitzustellen sind.The bars each require space for themselves the needles is not available. Furthermore, if they are needle-specific, i. for straight needles and for bent needles must each be different Footbridges will be provided. This can mean that different packages are to be provided.

Außerdem ist aus der DE-OS 2255158 eine Nadelverpakkung bekannt, die auf einem aus Pappe bestehenden Rücken aufbaut. Auf diesem ist ein etwa rechteckiger Träger aus Kunststoff angeordnet, der seinerseits von einem durchsichtigen Kunststoffabschnitt abgedeckt ist. Ein Steg des viereckigen rahmenförmigen Trägers umschließt einen Filzstreifen, wobei er an seiner Außenseite und an seiner Innenseite längliche schlitzartige Öffnungen aufweist. Durch diese Öffnungen und somit auch durch den Filzstreifen sind die Nähnadeln durchgestochen, so dass sie von dem Filzstreifen fixiert sind.In addition, from DE-OS 2255158 a Nadelverpakkung known on a cardboard back builds. On this is an approximately rectangular carrier Plastic arranged, in turn, of a transparent Plastic section is covered. A footbridge of square frame-shaped carrier encloses a felt strip, being on its outside and on its inside having elongated slot-like openings. Through these openings and thus also through the felt strip the sewing needles have been pierced so they are from the felt strips are fixed.

Diese Art der Verpackung ist aufwendig ausgebildet und schwierig zu bestücken.This type of packaging is elaborate and difficult to populate.

Davon ausgehend ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine vielseitig verwendbare, einfach zu handhabende Verpackung zu schaffen. On this basis, it is an object of the invention, a Versatile, easy-to-use packaging to accomplish.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit der Verpackung nach Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with the packaging according to claim 1 solved.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung weist einen Hüllkörper auf, der einen Innenraum zur Aufnahme der zu verpakkenden Elemente umschließt. An dem Hüllkörper ist ein Niederhalter ausgebildet, der dazu dient, die verpackten Elemente in dem Innenraum festzuklemmen. Beispielsweise drückt der Niederhalter die Elemente gegen eine Rückwand des Hüllkörpers, wodurch die Elemente klapperfrei festliegen. Somit sind die Elemente geordnet aufgenommen und sie können ebenso geordnet aus der Verpackung entnommen werden.The packaging according to the invention has an enveloping body on, an interior space for receiving the to be packaged Encloses elements. On the envelope body is a Hold-down designed to serve the packaged Clamp elements in the interior. For example the hold-down presses the elements against a back wall of the enveloping body, whereby the elements are rattling-free. Thus, the elements are added and ordered they can also be sorted out of the packaging become.

Weil der Niederhalter an dem Hüllkörper ausgebildet ist, muss er beim Schließen der Verpackung nicht gesondert gehandhabt werden. Beispielsweise kann die Verpakkung so ausgebildet sein, dass sie ein Aufnahmeteil aufweist, das durch einen ersten Deckel nach dem Bestücken dauerhaft verschlossen wird. Zum Entnehmen der Elemente wird dieser Deckel nicht geöffnet - er bleibt verschlossen. Es wird lediglich eine Entnahmeöffnung geöffnet. Der Niederhalter ist vorzugsweise im Bereich des bei der Erstbestückung zu schließenden Deckels angeordnet, d.h. an diesem oder diesem gegenüber liegend. Somit werden die zu verpackenden Elemente beim Schließen der Verpackung automatisch fest geklemmt, ohne dass es dazu eines besonderen Handgriffs oder einer sonstwie gesonderten Maßnahme bedürfte. Die Verpackung ist dadurch sehr gut zu handhaben, d.h. einfach zu bestücken, die Teile sind einfach zu entnehmen und die Verpackung kann für verschieden ausgebildete Elemente verwendet werden. Außerdem greift der Niederhalter vorzugsweise nicht zwischen die länglichen Elemente, so dass diese seitlich einander berührend in die Verpackung eingelegt werden können. Dadurch gelingt es, das Verpackungsvolumen gut auszunutzen. Because the hold-down formed on the envelope body is, it does not have to be separated when closing the packaging be handled. For example, the packaging be formed so that it has a receiving part, that through a first lid after loading is permanently closed. To remove the elements this lid is not opened - it remains closed. Only one removal opening is opened. Of the Downholder is preferably in the range of at Erstbestückung to closing lid arranged, i. lying on this or this opposite. Thus, the to be packed when closing the packaging automatically clamped, without it being a special one Handle or otherwise separate action would require. The packaging is therefore very easy to handle, i.e. easy to assemble, the parts are easy too and the packaging can be designed for different Elements are used. In addition, the attacks Hold-down preferably not between the elongated Elements, so that these laterally touching each other in the packaging can be inserted. This succeeds to make good use of the packaging volume.

Der Hüllkörper der Verpackung wird durch ein einstückig ausgebildetes Kunststoffspritzteil gebildet. Bedarfsweise ist es jedoch auch möglich, die Verpackung mehrteilig auszubilden, beispielsweise indem der Aufnahmebereich und das Deckelteil separat gefertigt und nach dem Bestücken des Aufnahmebereichs miteinander verrastet werden. Auch diese alternative Ausführungsform bezieht ihren Hauptvorteil aus dem Niederhalter, der an einem der beiden Verpackungsteile oder auch an beiden angeformt ist, so dass die länglichen Maschinenelemente beim Bestücken der Verpackung klemmend festgelegt werden. Es ist auch möglich, den Niederhalter separat herzustellen und nachträglich mit dem Hüllkörper, z.B. durch Klebstoff, zu verbinden.The enveloping body of the packaging is characterized by an integrally formed Plastic injection molded part. If necessary, it is however also possible to form the packaging in several parts, for example by the receiving area and the lid part manufactured separately and after loading the receiving area locked together. Also this alternative Embodiment derives its main advantage from the Hold-down device attached to one of the two packaging parts or is molded to both, so that the elongated Machine elements jamming when packing the packaging be determined. It is also possible to hold down separately produced and subsequently with the envelope body, e.g. by adhesive, to connect.

Der Niederhalter weist wenigstens einen verformbaren Abschnitt auf, wobei die Verformung plastisch, elastisch oder gemischt plastisch-elastisch sein kann. Eine wenigstens gewisse elastische Komponente hat den Vorteil, dass einzelne Elemente aus der Packung entnommen und bedarfsweise auch wieder in diese eingelegt werden können, wonach sie wieder elastisch gehalten (geklemmt) werden.The hold-down has at least one deformable Section on, where the deformation is plastic, elastic or mixed plastic-elastic. At least one certain elastic component has the advantage that individual elements removed from the pack and if necessary can also be reinstated in this, after which they are elastically held (clamped) again.

Der Niederhalter wird beispielsweise durch ein oder mehrere an einer der Flachseiten der Verpackung ausgebildete Vorsprünge gebildet. Der Vorsprung ist nachgiebig ausgebildet, um das längliche Maschinenelement an die gegenüber liegende Flachseite oder dort vorgesehene Anlagestellen zu drücken. Sie sind flexibler als der übrige Hüllkörper, so dass sich beim Schließen der Verpackung der Niederhalter, nicht aber der Hüllkörper verformt.The hold-down is for example by a or several formed on one of the flat sides of the package Projections formed. The lead is yielding formed to the elongated machine element to the opposite lying flat side or provided there abutment points to press. They are more flexible than the rest Enveloping body, so that when closing the packaging the hold-down, but not deformed the envelope body.

Die Verpackung ist vorzugsweise an einem Ende mit einer Entnahmeöffnung versehen, die durch eine Verschlussklappe verschließbar sein kann. Der Niederhalter ist vorzugsweise außerhalb des von der Verschlussklappe eingenommenen Bereichs des Hüllkörpers angeordnet. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die verpackten Elemente auch bei geöffneter Verpackung, bei der sie aus der Verpackung entnommen werden können, noch nachgiebig in dem Innenraum gehalten sind.The packaging is preferably at one end with a discharge opening provided by a flap can be closed. The hold down is preferably outside of the shutter assumed area of the envelope arranged. This has the advantage that the packaged items also at opened packaging, when they are out of the packaging can be removed, still yielding in the interior are held.

Die Entnahmeöffnung erstreckt sich vorzugsweise über die gesamte Breite der Verpackung, so dass, wenn die Verpackung geöffnet ist, alle Elemente frei liegen und bedarfsweise ein oder mehrere entnommen werden können. Die Verschlussklappe kann dabei einteilig oder mehrteilig ausgebildet sein. Außerdem kann der Verschlussklappe ein schwenkbarer Aufnahmeabschnitt zugeordnet sein, um den Zugang zu den Enden der verpackten Elemente zu verbessern.The removal opening preferably extends over the entire width of the packaging, so that when the packaging is open, all elements are exposed and as needed one or more can be taken. The Flap can be one-piece or multi-piece be educated. In addition, the flap can a be assigned pivotable receiving portion to the To improve access to the ends of the packaged elements.

Der Niederhalter kann mit der Verpackung einstückig ausgebildet und durch ein oder mehrere federnde Klemmlippen gebildet sein, die, in Reihe oder parallel, sich quer durch den Innenraum und somit quer zu der Öffnungsrichtung der Entnahmeöffnung vorzugsweise über die gesamte Breite der Verpackung erstrecken. Damit erfasst der Niederhalter mit Sicherheit alle in den Innenraum eingelegten Elemente und zwar unabhängig von ihrer konkreten Form. Beispielsweise können in Verpackungen ein und desselben Typs sowohl gerade Maschinen-Nähnadeln als auch gebogene Maschinen-Nähnadeln verpackt werden. Außerdem können Nadeln unterschiedlicher Größe verpackt werden.The hold-down can be integral with the packaging formed and by one or more resilient clamping lips be formed, which, in series or parallel, transversely through the interior and thus transversely to the opening direction the removal opening preferably over the entire Width of the packaging extend. Thus, the hold-down captures certainly all inserted in the interior Elements regardless of their concrete Shape. For example, in packaging one and the same Type both straight machine sewing needles as well curved machine sewing needles are packed. Furthermore Needles of different sizes can be packed.

Zu dem Niederhalter gehören vorzugsweise zwei in gleicher Richtung oder in Gegenrichtung orientierte Klemmlippen, die zu der Flachseite der Verpackung geneigt angeordnet sind.The hold-down preferably includes two in same direction or oriented in the opposite direction Clamping lips that are inclined to the flat side of the package are arranged.
