- FIGS. 5 to 7 The presentation of this embodiment and the various figures associated with it (FIGS. 5 to 7) is complementary to the whole of the description made in the context of FIGS. 2 to 4 showing the arrangement of a broom 12 in a housing 26 of the package 10.
- the two brushes 12 are received entirely in the housing 26 of the shell 24.
- the connectors 20 do not protrude from the shell 24 because the side walls 35 of the housing 26 are higher than those presented.
- the shell 24 can be closed with a film 41 which can be directly sealed on the sheet horizontal 34 connecting the housing 26 at their open upper ends. This film 41 closes the shell 24 but it also prevents the shell 24 from deviating under the action of the return forces generated by the brushes 12 in the stored position in the housing 26.
- the shell 24 is stiffened and can not be brought to s' open to the outside.
- a rigid insert 42 is arranged in the shell 24 at the level of the sheet 34 and is covered by the film 41.
- the variants relating to the insert 42 presented in the context of the first embodiment can also be envisaged in the embodiment of FIGS. 5 to 7.
- Concerning the positioning of the brushes 12 in the housings 26 (FIGS. 6A to 6D), this is similar to the positioning shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 in the case of a single blade but reveals the arrangement of the two brushes in the device. packaging.
- FIGS. 6A to 6D show different cross sections respectively along the transverse lines 6A-6A, 6B-6B, 6C-6C, 6D-6D of the assembly shown in FIG. 5.
- the brushes 12 are of different size. Indeed, on the section of Figure 6A-6A, the right broom is provided with its terminal end 12a while for the other broom it is not the case.
- the blade 12 is retained in the housing 26 by the positioning means formed of the bearing zones 28 and the holding zone 30.
- the bearing zones 28 extend longitudinally substantially over the entire length of the housing 26 forming two ribs vis-à-vis. These ribs project transversely inwardly of each housing relative to the side walls thereof.
- the holding zone 30 in turn forms a longitudinal main orientation rib projecting transversely inside the housing 26 relative to the side wall 35 which carries it.
- the holding zone 30 does not extend over the entire length of the housing 26 but on some portions thereof.
- the blade is retained at its third portion 32 by the holding zone 30 while at the right housing the blade is not retained locally by any means of positioning.
- the brush is retained at its third portion 32 by the holding zone 30 while at the right housing, the brush is not locally retained by any means of positioning since the cut is made at the connector 20 of the right broom.
- This boss 39 avoids a possible reversal and / or a localized twist of the blade 12 in the housing 26. This boss is not considered a means of maintenance because its removal does not affect the maintenance of the blade 12 in its accommodation 26.
- the boss 39 is in contact with a vertebra 16 of the blade 12, but it could be envisaged that the contact could be made with another element of the blade 12.
- a stiffening rib 52 is arranged between two housing 26 adjacent. This rib 52 is capable of limit the deformation of the lower shell 24 in a vertical longitudinal plane.
- the blade 12 associated with the positioning means used allows compensation of the forces exerted by each blade 12 on the associated housing 26 so that the packaging device is stabilized.
- the blade 12 may have a different structure.
- the structural element 14 delimits a tubular housing 14a in which a single vertebra 16 is received and the wiper blade 18 is carried by claws of the tubular housing 14a.
- the structural element 14 incorporates an aerodynamic deflector.
- the housing 26 has positioning means comprising bearing zones 28 and a holding zone 30, different portions of the blade 12 being intended to cooperate with these different zones.
- the first and second portions 31 are intended to bear on the bearing zones 28 and the third portion 32 is intended to be retained by the holding zone 30.
- the third portion 32 is located the aerodynamic deflector integrated tubular housing 14a. Due to the different structure of this blade 12, it is found that it is in contact and retained at the different zones, bearing zones 28 and holding zone 30.
- FIG 7 there is shown only one housing 26 but the packaging device may have two housings 26 to accommodate two brushes 12 as in the case of Figures 5 and 6A to 6D.
- the invention is not limited to these two embodiments only of the brushes 12, and that it relates more generally to brushes whose structural element is bent along the median longitudinal plane of the blade, and is deformable elastically.
- structural element means a member of the blade support type, vertebra support, deflector, or wiper blade vertebra or a combination of two or more of these elements.
- the broom by its end caps or connector, may be in contact with the housing 26 of the packaging device 10.
