Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for the positionally fixed reception of a commodity, in particular a wristwatch or a writing instrument, according to the preamble of the independent claim.
- Niele commodities such as Wristwatches or writing instruments are often presented for sale in transparent plastic containers (cases).
- Fixing means are usually provided in the container in order to hold the item of daily use in place and thus also to protect it from damage, in particular during transport.
- Molded inserts, plastic brackets, rubber brackets, foam rubber brackets and flexible retainers (clamps) are mostly used as the fixing agent.
- the previously known fixing means are either structurally relatively complex or have to be matched to the shape and dimensions of the commodity or hinder the unobstructed view of the commodity (especially in the known retainers).
- the fitting and removal of the article of daily use is relatively complicated and involves a relatively high risk of damage.
- the fixing means are designed as a pair or pairs of clamps, one clamp of each pair being arranged in the upper part and in the lower part of the container.
- the container When the container is open, the commodity can be easily inserted into or removed from the lower part of the container.
- the container is closed, i.e. when the upper part is placed on the lower part, the two clamps of the pairs of clamps clamp the commodity between them and thereby fix it securely. Because of the resilient design of the pairs of terminals, everyday items of different dimensions can be effectively fixed in position with one and the same device.
- the holding members or pairs of clamps are designed as spring tongues which extend from the side walls of the lower part and upper part of the container into the interior of the lower part and upper part.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic oblique view of a first exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention in the open state and with an inserted wristwatch as a commodity
- Fig. 2 shows a section along the line II-II through the device according. 1 in the closed state and without an inserted everyday object
- FIG. 3 shows a section analogous to FIG. 2 through another exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention
- FIG. 4 shows a section analogous to FIG. 2 through a detail variant
- FIG. 5 shows a section analogous to FIG. 2 through a further detailed variant
- FIG. 7 shows a section analogous to FIG. 2 through a further detail variant
- FIG. 8 shows a section analogous to FIG. 2 through a further exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention.
- the device shown in Fig. 1 has the parallelepiphedral shape of a classic case. It comprises a container designated as a whole by B, which consists of a shell-shaped lower part U and a shell-shaped upper part or
- Cover O exists.
- the upper part O can, as shown and known per se, be articulated on the lower part U and consequently be designed to be foldable, but it can also be made completely detachable from the lower part.
- closure means are provided which prevent the upper part O from unintentionally detaching from the lower part U when the container B is closed.
- Such closure means can be formed, as is known per se, by latches or snap mechanisms.
- the outer shape of the container B depends on the article to be used and is irrelevant to the present invention.
- Fixing means for a commodity to be accommodated in the exemplary embodiment shown, a wristwatch A, are provided in the container B.
- these fixing means comprise resilient holding members 10 and 20, which interact in pairs, each in the lower part U and are arranged in the upper part O of the container B.
- the two holding members 10, 20 of each pair work together in such a way that, when the upper part O is placed on the lower part U of the container B, they clamp the utility item A in the container resiliently between them.
- the holding members 10, 20 thus form spring pairs of clamps.
- the holding members 10 and 20 can spring up and down. Up and down here refers to the usual position of use of the device in the closed state, the lower part U of the container B being at the bottom and the upper part O at the top.
- the number of pairs of holding members 10, 20 depends on the type of utility item to be fixed. In the case of a wristwatch or a writing instrument (e.g. fountain pen or pen), two pairs are generally sufficient. In special cases, a single pair may be sufficient.
- the holding members 10 and 20 are designed as tongue springs which extend inwards from the side walls of the lower part U and the upper part O of the container B.
- the tongue springs can be fastened on the same sides of the container or on opposite sides.
- the tongue springs can, however, as shown in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 8, be attached to the (in the normal position of use) horizontal inner walls of the lower part U or upper part O.
- the tongue springs 10, 20 are preferably curved as shown, the tongue springs or holding members 10 in the lower part U being concave when viewed from the open side of the lower part, so that they form a type of trough for the article of use to be accommodated.
- the tongue springs or holding members 20 in Upper part O are curved in the opposite direction, that is, convex when viewed from the open side of the upper part.
- the tongue springs can also be flat or curved in the other direction. Any combination of curved and flat tongue springs is also possible.
- the holding members 10 and 20 can also consist of two partial holding members 11 and 12, which are attached to opposite sides of the lower part U and upper part O and extend inward from there.
- the holding members 10, 20 can also be configured with two or more fingers (comb-like), especially in the upper part O. This results in a better adaptation to their outer shape and thus a better fixing effect in the case of more complicated articles of daily use.
- the holding members 10, 20 can also have friction-increasing means, especially on their mutually facing sides.
- Such anti-friction agents can e.g. by structures 13 such as ribs and the like (Fig. 7) or by friction-increasing pads 14, e.g. a foam rubber coating (Fig. 5) can be formed.
- the holding members 10 and 20 designed as tongue springs can also be cranked, so that they form a receiving space 15 for the commodity between them.
- this receiving space 15 must have a smaller clear height than the dimension of the object to be picked up at this point, because otherwise there would be no clamping effect.
- the stops of the two holding members 10 and 20 form lateral stops for the commodity, which further improve the fixation.
- this can also be achieved by other suitable structures on the holding members 10 and 20.
- FIG. 3 shows a further exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention, in which the holding members are not used as tongue springs, but as flexible ones Calottes 30 and 40 are formed, each of which cooperate in pairs and, when the container B is closed, elastically clamp the items of use located therein between them.
- One cap 30 is attached to the bottom of the lower part U and extends upwards from the latter.
- the other cage 40 is attached to the inner upper wall (cover bottom) of the upper part O and extends downward from this.
- the domes 30 and 40 can be hollow (example of the domes 40) or full (example of the domes 30). In both cases, the spherical caps are made of a suitably soft and resilient material.
- the container B is designed to accommodate six utensils arranged side by side.
- six pairs of holding members 10, 20 are provided twice, two adjacent holding members 10 or 20 each starting from a common carrier 16 or 26, which is attached to the inner upper wall (cover bottom) of the upper part O or to the bottom of the Lower part U is attached.
- the device according to the invention or the container B can also contain a smaller or larger number of holding element pairs 10, 20.
- not all pairs of holding members 10, 20 need to have the same shape.
- the holding members 10, 20 and 30, 40 can be produced as elements independent of the container B and inserted into the lower part U or upper part O of the container B and fastened there in a suitable manner.
- they can also consist of a different material (e.g. thermoplastic polymers) than the container B (e.g. polypropylene).
- the holding members preferably consist of the same material (e.g. polypropylene) as the lower part U or the upper part O of the container B and are integral with the lower part U or the upper part O. This allows a particularly simple and inexpensive manufacture of the device according to the invention, e.g. in the injection molding process.
- the upper part O of the container B is transparent, at least the holding members 20 and 40 in the upper part O are preferably also transparent, so that the view of the utility object located in the container B is obstructed as little as possible.

Abstract
The invention relates to a device for receiving a commodity, especially a watch or a writing implement, in a fixed position. Said device is provided with a container (B) consisting of a recess-type lower part (U) and a recess-type upper part (O), and at least one fixing means which is used to fix the commodity (A) to be received and is arranged inside the container. Each fixing means is embodied as a pair of clips and comprises a lower elastic holding element (10) which is arranged in the lower part (U) of the container and an upper elastic holding element (20) which is arranged in the upper part (O). The two holding elements (10, 20) together form the pair of clips and co-operate in such a way that they clamp the commodity (A) located in the container between each other in an elastic manner when the upper part (O) of the container (B) is placed on the lower part (U). In this way, the commodity can be perfectly fixed between wide boundaries independently of its shape and dimension, using the lowest structural means possible.
Description
Vorrichtung zur positionsfixierten Aufnahme eines Gebrauchsgegenstands Device for the fixation of a commodity
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur positionsfixierten Aufnahme eines Gebrauchsgegenstands, insbesondere einer Armbanduhr oder eines Schreibgeräts, ge- mäss dem Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Anspruchs.The invention relates to a device for the positionally fixed reception of a commodity, in particular a wristwatch or a writing instrument, according to the preamble of the independent claim.
Niele Gebrauchsgegenstände wie z.B. Armbanduhren oder Schreibgeräte werden häufig in transparenten Kunststoff -Behältnissen (Etuis) für den Verkauf präsentiert. Dabei sind im Behältnis üblicherweise Fixiermittel vorgesehen, um den Gebrauchsgegenstand in seiner Lage festzuhalten und ihn so auch vor Beschädigungen insbesondere während des Transports zu schützen. Als Fixiermittel werden meist Formeinla- gen, Kunststoffhalterungen, Gummihalterungen, Moosgummihalterungen und flexible Νiederhaltungen (Klemmen) verwendet.Niele commodities such as Wristwatches or writing instruments are often presented for sale in transparent plastic containers (cases). Fixing means are usually provided in the container in order to hold the item of daily use in place and thus also to protect it from damage, in particular during transport. Molded inserts, plastic brackets, rubber brackets, foam rubber brackets and flexible retainers (clamps) are mostly used as the fixing agent.
Die bisher bekannten Fixiermittel sind entweder konstruktiv relativ aufwändig oder müssen auf Gestalt und Dimensionen des Gebrauchsgegenstands abgestimmt sein oder behindern die freie Sicht auf den Gebrauchsgegenstand (speziell bei den bekannten Νiederhaltungen). Ausserdem ist bei einigen bekannten Fixiermitteln die Bestük- kung und die Entnahme des Gebrauchsgegenstands relativ umständlich und mit einem relativ hohen Beschädigungsrisiko verbunden.The previously known fixing means are either structurally relatively complex or have to be matched to the shape and dimensions of the commodity or hinder the unobstructed view of the commodity (especially in the known retainers). In addition, in some known fixing means, the fitting and removal of the article of daily use is relatively complicated and involves a relatively high risk of damage.
Durch die vorliegende Erfindung sollen nun diese Nachteile beseitigt und eine Vorrichtung der gattungsgemässen Art dahingehend verbessert werden, dass bei minimalem konstruktiven Aufwand eine einwandfreie örtliche Fixierung des Gebrauchsgegenstands erreicht wird, und zwar in weiten Grenzen unabhängig von dessen Gestalt und Abmessungen. In anderen Worten soll eine mit minimalem konstruktiven Auf- wand herstellbare und universell einsetzbare Vorrichtung geschaffen werden, die für die Aufnahme von unterschiedlichen Gebrauchsgegenständen geeignet ist und diese einwandfrei und sicher örtlich fixiert.
Die Lösung dieser der Erfindung zugrundeliegenden Aufgabe ergibt sich aus den im kennzeichnenden Teil des unabhängigen Anspruchs beschriebenen Merkmalen. Besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.These disadvantages are to be eliminated by the present invention and a device of the generic type is to be improved in such a way that a perfect local fixation of the commodity is achieved with minimal design effort, within wide limits regardless of its shape and dimensions. In other words, a device which can be produced and used universally and which can be produced with minimal design effort is to be created, which is suitable for holding different items of daily use and fixes them in a correct and secure manner. The solution to this problem on which the invention is based results from the features described in the characterizing part of the independent claim. Particularly advantageous refinements and developments are the subject of the dependent claims.
Gemäss dem allgemeinsten Gedanken der Erfindung sind also die Fixiermittel als Klemmenpaar oder -paare ausgebildet, wobei je eine Klemme eines Paars im Oberteil und im Unterteil des Behältnisses angeordnet ist. Bei offenem Behältnis kann der Gebrauchsgegenstand problemlos in den Behältnisunterteil eingelegt oder aus diesem entnommen werden. Bei geschlossenem Behältnis, wenn also der Oberteil auf den Unterteil aufgesetzt ist, klemmen die beiden Klemmen der Klemmenpaare den Gebrauchsgegenstand zwischen sich ein und legen ihn dadurch sicher fest. Wegen der federnden Ausbildung der Klemmenpaare können dabei Gebrauchsgegenstände unterschiedlicher Dimensionen mit ein und derselben Vorrichtung wirkungsvoll positi- onsfixiert werden.According to the most general idea of the invention, the fixing means are designed as a pair or pairs of clamps, one clamp of each pair being arranged in the upper part and in the lower part of the container. When the container is open, the commodity can be easily inserted into or removed from the lower part of the container. When the container is closed, i.e. when the upper part is placed on the lower part, the two clamps of the pairs of clamps clamp the commodity between them and thereby fix it securely. Because of the resilient design of the pairs of terminals, everyday items of different dimensions can be effectively fixed in position with one and the same device.
Gemäss einem besonders vorteilhaften Aspekt der Erfindung sind die Halteorgane bzw. Klemmenpaare als Federzungen ausgebildet, die sich von den Seitenwänden des Unterteils und Oberteils des Behältnisses in das Innere des Unterteils bzw. Oberteils erstrecken. Diese Ausbildung ist konstruktiv besonders einfach und erfordert ausser- dem nur eine minimale Abdeckung des festzuhaltenden Gebrauchsgegenstands. Wenn die Halteorgane gemäss einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform aus transparentem Material gefertigt sind, wird die Sicht auf den Gebrauchsgegenstand praktisch überhaupt nicht behindert.According to a particularly advantageous aspect of the invention, the holding members or pairs of clamps are designed as spring tongues which extend from the side walls of the lower part and upper part of the container into the interior of the lower part and upper part. This training is structurally particularly simple and, moreover, requires only a minimal covering of the commodity to be held. If, according to a further advantageous embodiment, the holding members are made of transparent material, the view of the commodity is practically not obstructed at all.
Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen:The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. Show it:

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Vorrichtung hat äusserlich die parallelepipedrische Gestalt eines klassischen Etuis. Sie umfasst ein als Ganzes mit B bezeichnetes Behältnis, das aus einem schalenformigen Unterteil U und einem schalenformigen Oberteil oderThe device shown in Fig. 1 has the parallelepiphedral shape of a classic case. It comprises a container designated as a whole by B, which consists of a shell-shaped lower part U and a shell-shaped upper part or
Deckel O besteht. Der Oberteil O kann wie dargestellt und an sich bekannt am Unterteil U angelenkt und demzufolge aufklappbar ausgebildet sein, er kann aber auch ganz vom Unterteil abnehmbar ausgebildet sein. Ferner sind nicht dargestellte Verschlussmittel vorgesehen, die verhindern, dass sich im geschlossenen Zustand des Behältnisses B der Oberteil O unbeabsichtigt vom Unterteil U löst. Solche Verschlussmittel können wie an sich bekannt durch Riegel oder Schnappmechanismen gebildet sein. Die äussere Gestalt des Behältnisses B richtet sich nach dem aufzunehmenden Gebrauchsgegenstand und ist für die vorliegende Erfindung ohne Belang.Cover O exists. The upper part O can, as shown and known per se, be articulated on the lower part U and consequently be designed to be foldable, but it can also be made completely detachable from the lower part. Furthermore, closure means (not shown) are provided which prevent the upper part O from unintentionally detaching from the lower part U when the container B is closed. Such closure means can be formed, as is known per se, by latches or snap mechanisms. The outer shape of the container B depends on the article to be used and is irrelevant to the present invention.
Im Behältnis B sind Fixiermittel für einen aufzunehmenden Gebrauchsgegenstand - im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel eine Armbanduhr A, vorgesehen. Diese Fixiermittel umfassen gemäss dem wichtigsten Gedanken der Erfindung paarweise zusammenwirkende federnde Halteorgane 10 und 20, die jeweils sowohl im Unterteil U
als auch im Oberteil O des Behältnisses B angeordnet sind. Die beiden Halteorgane 10,20 jedes Paars wirken so zusammen, dass sie bei auf den Unterteil U des Behältnisses B aufgesetztem Oberteil O den im Behältnis befindlichen Gebrauchsgegenstand A federnd zwischen sich festklemmen. Die Halteorgane 10,20 bilden also fe- dernde Klemmenpaare.Fixing means for a commodity to be accommodated — in the exemplary embodiment shown, a wristwatch A, are provided in the container B. According to the most important idea of the invention, these fixing means comprise resilient holding members 10 and 20, which interact in pairs, each in the lower part U and are arranged in the upper part O of the container B. The two holding members 10, 20 of each pair work together in such a way that, when the upper part O is placed on the lower part U of the container B, they clamp the utility item A in the container resiliently between them. The holding members 10, 20 thus form spring pairs of clamps.
Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 2 erkennbar ist, können die Halteorgane 10 und 20 auf- und abwärts federn. Auf- und abwärts bezieht sich hier auf die übliche Gebrauchshaltung der Vorrichtung in geschlossenem Zustand, wobei der Unterteil U des Behältnis- ses B unten und der Oberteil O oben ist.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 2, the holding members 10 and 20 can spring up and down. Up and down here refers to the usual position of use of the device in the closed state, the lower part U of the container B being at the bottom and the upper part O at the top.
Es hat sich gezeigt, dass durch die erfindungsgemässen Klemmenpaare mit jeweils zwei federnden Halteorganen eine wesentlich bessere Fixierung des Gebrauchsgegenstands erreicht wird als mit den vergleichbaren herkömmlichen Fixiermitteln.It has been shown that the pairs of clamps according to the invention, each with two resilient holding members, achieve a significantly better fixation of the article of daily use than with the comparable conventional fixation means.
Die Anzahl der Paare von Halteorganen 10,20 hängt von der Art des zu fixierenden Gebrauchsgegenstands ab. Im Falle einer Armbanduhr oder eines Schreibgeräts (z.B. Füllfeder oder Stift) reichen im allgemeinen zwei Paare. In Sonderfällen kann auch ein einziges Paar ausreichend sein.The number of pairs of holding members 10, 20 depends on the type of utility item to be fixed. In the case of a wristwatch or a writing instrument (e.g. fountain pen or pen), two pairs are generally sufficient. In special cases, a single pair may be sufficient.
In den in den Figuren 1, 2 und 4-7 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen sind die Halteorgane 10 und 20 als Zungenfedern ausgebildet, welche sich von den Seitenwänden des Unterteils U bzw. des Oberteils O des Behältnisses B nach innen erstrecken. Die Zungenfedern können dabei an denselben Seiten des Behältnisses oder auch an ge- genüberliegenden Seiten befestigt sein. Die Zungenfedern können aber auch, wie dies am Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 8 dargestellt ist, an den (in der üblichen Gebrauchshaltung) horizontalen Innenwänden des Unterteils U bzw. Oberteils O angebracht sein.In the exemplary embodiments shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4-7, the holding members 10 and 20 are designed as tongue springs which extend inwards from the side walls of the lower part U and the upper part O of the container B. The tongue springs can be fastened on the same sides of the container or on opposite sides. The tongue springs can, however, as shown in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 8, be attached to the (in the normal position of use) horizontal inner walls of the lower part U or upper part O.
Vorzugsweise sind die Zungenfedern 10,20 wie dargestellt gekrümmt ausgebildet, wobei die Zungenfedern bzw. Halteorgane 10 im Unterteil U von der offenen Seite des Unterteils her gesehen konkav sind, so dass sie eine Art Mulde für den aufzunehmenden Gebrauchsgegenstand bilden. Die Zungenfedern bzw. Halteorgane 20 im
Oberteil O sind gegengleich gekrümmt, also von der offenen Seite des Oberteils her gesehen konvex. Je nach der äusseren Gestalt des zu haltenden Gebrauchsgegenstands können die Zungenfedern aber auch eben oder in die andere Richtung gekrümmt sein. Ebenfalls sind beliebige Kombinationen von gekrümmten und ebenen Zungenfedern möglich.The tongue springs 10, 20 are preferably curved as shown, the tongue springs or holding members 10 in the lower part U being concave when viewed from the open side of the lower part, so that they form a type of trough for the article of use to be accommodated. The tongue springs or holding members 20 in Upper part O are curved in the opposite direction, that is, convex when viewed from the open side of the upper part. Depending on the outer shape of the article to be held, the tongue springs can also be flat or curved in the other direction. Any combination of curved and flat tongue springs is also possible.
Wie die Fig. 4 zeigt, können die Halteorgane 10 und 20 auch aus jeweils zwei Teilhalteorganen 11 und 12 bestehen, die an gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Unterteils U bzw. Oberteils O angebracht sind und sich von dort nach innen erstrecken.As shown in FIG. 4, the holding members 10 and 20 can also consist of two partial holding members 11 and 12, which are attached to opposite sides of the lower part U and upper part O and extend inward from there.
Die Halteorgane 10,20 können gemäss Fig. 6 speziell im Oberteil O auch zwei- oder mehrfingrig (kammartig) ausgebildet sein. Dadurch ergibt sich bei komplizierter gestalteten Gebrauchsgegenständen eine bessere Anpassung an deren äussere Form und damit eine bessere Fixierwirkung.According to FIG. 6, the holding members 10, 20 can also be configured with two or more fingers (comb-like), especially in the upper part O. This results in a better adaptation to their outer shape and thus a better fixing effect in the case of more complicated articles of daily use.
Zur Erhöhung der Fixierwirkung können die Halteorgane 10,20 speziell an ihren einander zugewandten Seiten auch reibungserhöhende Mittel aufweisen. Solche rei- bungserhöhende Mittel können z.B. durch Strukturen 13 wie Rippen und dgl. (Fig. 7) oder durch reibungserhöhende Auflagen 14, z.B. eine Schaumgummi-Beschichtung (Fig. 5) gebildet sein.To increase the fixing effect, the holding members 10, 20 can also have friction-increasing means, especially on their mutually facing sides. Such anti-friction agents can e.g. by structures 13 such as ribs and the like (Fig. 7) or by friction-increasing pads 14, e.g. a foam rubber coating (Fig. 5) can be formed.
Wie die Fig. 2 weiter zeigt, können die als Zungenfedern ausgebildeten Halteorgane 10 und 20 auch gekröpft sein, so dass sie zwischen sich einen Aufnahmeraum 15 für den Gebrauchsgegenstand bilden. Selbstverständlich muss dieser Aufnahmeraum 15 eine kleinere lichte Höhe haben als die Dimension des aufzunehmenden Gebrauchsgegenstands an dieser Stelle, weil sich sonst keine Klemmwirkung ergäbe. Durch die Kröpfungen der beiden Halteorgane 10 und 20 werden jedoch seitliche Anschläge für den Gebrauchsgegenstand gebildet, welche eine weitere Verbesserung der Fixierung bewirken. Selbstverständlich kann dies auch durch andere geeignete Strukturen an den Halteorganen 10 und 20 erreicht werden.As FIG. 2 further shows, the holding members 10 and 20 designed as tongue springs can also be cranked, so that they form a receiving space 15 for the commodity between them. Of course, this receiving space 15 must have a smaller clear height than the dimension of the object to be picked up at this point, because otherwise there would be no clamping effect. However, the stops of the two holding members 10 and 20 form lateral stops for the commodity, which further improve the fixation. Of course, this can also be achieved by other suitable structures on the holding members 10 and 20.
In Fig. 3 ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung dargestellt, bei welchem die Halteorgane nicht als Zungenfedern, sondern als flexible
Kalotten 30 und 40 ausgebildet sind, die jeweils paarweise zusammenwirken und im geschlossenen Zustand des Behältnisses B den darin befindlichen Gebrauchsgegen- satnd zwischen sich elastisch festklemmen. Die eine Kalotte 30 ist dabei am Boden des Unterteils U angebracht und erstreckt sich von diesem nach oben. Die andere Ka- lotte 40 ist an der inneren Oberwand (Deckelboden) des Oberteils O angebracht und erstreckt sich von dieser nach unten. Die Kalotten 30 und 40 können hohl (Beispiel der Kalotte 40) oder voll (Beispiel der Kalotte 30) ausgebildet sein. In beiden Fällen bestehen die Kalotten aus einem geeignet weichen und elastisch nachgiebigen Material.3 shows a further exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention, in which the holding members are not used as tongue springs, but as flexible ones Calottes 30 and 40 are formed, each of which cooperate in pairs and, when the container B is closed, elastically clamp the items of use located therein between them. One cap 30 is attached to the bottom of the lower part U and extends upwards from the latter. The other cage 40 is attached to the inner upper wall (cover bottom) of the upper part O and extends downward from this. The domes 30 and 40 can be hollow (example of the domes 40) or full (example of the domes 30). In both cases, the spherical caps are made of a suitably soft and resilient material.
In Fig. 8 ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung dargestellt. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Behältnis B zur nebeneinander angeordneten Aufnahme von sechs Gebrauchsgegenständen ausgebildet. Dazu sind zweimal sechs Paare von Halteorganen 10,20 vorgesehen, wobei jeweils je zwei be- nachbarte Halteorgane 10 bzw. 20 von einem gemeinsamen Träger 16 bzw. 26 ausgehen, der an der inneren Oberwand (Deckelboden) des Oberteils O bzw. am Boden des Unterteils U angebracht ist. Selbstverständlich kann die erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung bzw. das Behältnis B auch eine geringere oder grössere Anzahl von Halteorgan- Paaren 10,20 enthalten. Ausserdem müssen nicht alle Halteorgan-Paare 10,20 diesel- be Gestalt aufweisen.8 shows a further exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention. In this embodiment, the container B is designed to accommodate six utensils arranged side by side. For this purpose, six pairs of holding members 10, 20 are provided twice, two adjacent holding members 10 or 20 each starting from a common carrier 16 or 26, which is attached to the inner upper wall (cover bottom) of the upper part O or to the bottom of the Lower part U is attached. Of course, the device according to the invention or the container B can also contain a smaller or larger number of holding element pairs 10, 20. In addition, not all pairs of holding members 10, 20 need to have the same shape.
Die Halteorgane 10,20 sowie 30,40 können als vom Behältnis B unabhängige Elemente hergestellt und in den Unterteil U bzw. Oberteil O des Behältnisses B eingesetzt und dort geeignet befestigt sein. In diesem Fall können sie auch aus einem ande- ren Material (z.B. thermoplastische Polymere) als das Behältnis B (z.B. Polypropylen) bestehen. Vorzugsweise bestehen die Halteorgane jedoch aus demselben Material (z.B. Polypropylen) wie der Unterteil U bzw. der Oberteil O des Behältnisses B und sind mit dem Unterteil U bzw. dem Oberteil O einstückig. Dies erlaubt eine besonders einfache und kostengünstige Herstellung der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung, z.B. im Spritzgiessverfahren. Falls der Oberteil O des Behältnisses B transparent ist, sind vorzugsweise wenigstens die Halteorgane 20 und 40 im Oberteil O ebenfalls transparent ausgebildet, so dass die Sicht auf den im Behältnis B befindlichen Gebrauchsgegenstand möglichst wenig behindert wird.
The holding members 10, 20 and 30, 40 can be produced as elements independent of the container B and inserted into the lower part U or upper part O of the container B and fastened there in a suitable manner. In this case, they can also consist of a different material (e.g. thermoplastic polymers) than the container B (e.g. polypropylene). However, the holding members preferably consist of the same material (e.g. polypropylene) as the lower part U or the upper part O of the container B and are integral with the lower part U or the upper part O. This allows a particularly simple and inexpensive manufacture of the device according to the invention, e.g. in the injection molding process. If the upper part O of the container B is transparent, at least the holding members 20 and 40 in the upper part O are preferably also transparent, so that the view of the utility object located in the container B is obstructed as little as possible.
