Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a safety package for nails, screws and the like.
- The use of tools such as hammers, screwdrivers and others, both in the domestic field and in the professional field, often causes more or less severe injuries, due mainly to the accidental impacts of such tools on the hands of the operator.
- As is known, these impacts may be caused by simple negligence or carelessness in driving nails or screws, or by difficult working conditions, due for example to haste or to the lack of working space, and others.
- The need is therefore felt to provide suitable protections for the hands of the operator, especially with particular reference to the operations performed in the domestic environment, which, as is known, are often performed without the necessary precautions which instead an expert professional knows how to take.
-
DE 90 06 324 U1 discloses a package for thumb tacks having a combination of structural features as defined in the pre-characterizing portion of the appended claim 1. - The aim of the present invention is to meet the above mentioned requirement, by providing a safety package for nails, screws and the like which allows to perform operations with hammers, screwdrivers and other tools in conditions of maximum safety.
- Within this aim, an object of the present invention is to provide a safety package for nails, screws and the like which is practical, reliable and versatile in use.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a safety package which is simple, relatively easy to provide in practice, safe in use, effective in operation, and has a relatively low cost.
- In accordance with the invention, there is provided a present safety package for nails, screws and the like, was defined in the appended claims.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become better apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of a safety package for nails, screws and the like according to the invention, illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
Figure 1 is a plan view of the package according to the invention, in a first embodiment and in the working configuration; -
Figure 2 is a plan view of the package ofFigure 1 , in the nail positioning configuration; -
Figure 3 is a plan view of the package according to the invention, in a second embodiment and in the working configuration; -
Figure 4 is a plan view of the package ofFigure 3 , in the nail positioning configuration; -
Figure 5 is a perspective view of a package that does not form part of the present invention, but which is useful for understanding the operation of the package in its various embodiments according to the invention. - In the exemplary embodiments that follow, individual characteristics, given in relation to specific examples, may actually be interchanged with other different characteristics that exist in other exemplary embodiments.
- Moreover, it is noted that anything found to be already known during the patenting process is understood not to be claimed and to be the subject of a disclaimer.
- With reference to
Figure 1 , the reference numeral 1 generally designates a safety package for nails, screws and the like according to the invention, in a first embodiment thereof. - The package 1 is of the type which comprises at least one support, generally designated by the
reference numeral 2, which is provided with at least oneopenable case 3 for nails, screws and/or the like (for example nuts, staples or others), designated by thereference numeral 4. - The
support 2, which has any shape, is preferably made of a synthetic material such as plastics or of other materials having equivalent mechanical characteristics, for reasons which will become better apparent hereinafter. Thesupport 2 can be affected by a sort ofwindow 2a, which allows to hang said support on a suitable hook provided in the display and sale space. - The
openable case 3 can be made for example of plastics (clear or opaque) and glued to thesupport 2, or can be made equally of other materials and be fixed to said support by means of connecting elements of a different kind. - According to the invention, the safety package comprises at least one
retention element 5, which is adapted to support with onehand 6 thenail 4 and/or the screw in the working position and is such that said hand is at a sufficient safety distance, so that it cannot be struck accidentally byhammers 7, screwdrivers or other handling tools. - In greater detail, the
retention element 5 is constituted advantageously by a portion of thesupport 2 which is affected by at least oneseat 8 for the insertion of at least onenail 4 and/or a screw. - The
insertion seat 8 is formed conveniently by two mutuallyopposite tabs tabs Figure 1 ), in which they are kept elastically against each other so as to retain thenail 4 and/or the screw, to a configuration for positioning the nail 4 (Figure 2 ), in which they are substantially mutually spaced so as to allow the operator to insert thenail 4 between them. - Each of the
tabs free end 9a, 10a affected bycurved regions 11 for the insertion of the shaft of thenail 4 and/or of the screw; thetabs respective bridges support 2. - The
tabs respective end portions free ends 9a, 10a and are affected byfinger insertion recesses 16. - The method of use of the package according to the invention is as follows. Once the
case 3 has been opened to extract thenails 4 and/or screws, a slight pressure is applied to thetabs recesses 16 so as to move the tabs into a mutually spaced nail positioning configuration; by releasing thetabs hammer 7 simply by holding thesupport 2 with one hand; this allows to keep the hand at a sufficient safety distance. - It is noted that the
retention element 5 can be provided so that it is removable from thesupport 2 in order to facilitate its use; in particular, theretention element 5 can be delimited by at least one tear line which is formed in thesupport 2, or, as an alternative, theretention element 5 can be glued to said support. - It has thus been shown that the invention achieves the intended aim and objects.
- The package according to the invention allows to avoid injuries with hammers, screwdrivers and the like in an extremely cheap and versatile manner.
- It is noted that the retention element can be provided in any position with respect to the support (for example above, below, laterally).
- It is further possible to provide an opposite constructive solution, in which the tabs are closed against each other by manual pressure and are instead kept elastically open for nail insertion.
- A second embodiment of the package according to the invention is shown in
Figures 3 and 4 . In this example, the package comprises a plurality ofinsertion seats - In greater detail, the
support 2 is affected bysecond insertion seats 8a, each of which is constituted by a sort of slot which is substantially V-shaped; the sides of the V-shaped slot are provided with respective distributions ofteeth 17 for retaining the nail. The nail is inserted by pressure in thesecond seats 8a until it is retained stably by interference. - The invention thus conceived is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the appended claims.
- All the details may be replaced with other technically equivalent ones.
- In practice, the materials used, as well as the shapes and dimensions, may be any according to requirements without thereby abandoning the scope of the protection of the appended claims.
