Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packaging of writing instruments especially for coloring such as those which have a hair tip type felt, marker, but also ball points and colored pencils, etc. ....
  • the invention relates to also a set of writing instruments including writing instruments and packaging.
  • Coloring pens are mainly intended for children and especially for young children who are in the learning phase.
  • children In their daily use, children encounter difficulties such as those presented below:
  • the loss of the cap For a coloring job, children use several different colored pens and, for simplicity, remove the caps from all the pens in use. The caps are often placed on the worktable and can fall to the ground and roll under a piece of furniture. The child does not systematically refill the felt with the cap which then remains in the open air and finally dry.
  • the durability of the packaging The majority of hair coloring writing instruments are sold in containers of twelve, eighteen or twenty-four different colors.
  • the packages that are most often offered for sale, are either a carton-type packaging or a plastic bag type packaging. These packages are not strong enough for sustainable use and deteriorate quickly.
  • the pens are no longer stored in their original packaging and may go astray. The child loses some of the felts and reduces his range of colors.
  • the material used is generally transparent and allows a good visualization of the colors but, for a good behavior of the pens in the pocket, this pouch is designed with the minimum of functional play, the felts are tight between them and are difficult to extract or store.
  • the document WO 2015/163766 A1 proposes a packaging for writing instruments composed of a flexible material ensuring the connection with each respective writing instrument.
  • the document EP2711310 of the Applicant's name proposes a package having a shell having a first face on which is fixed at least one cap of the writing instrument and a second face, the shell being configured so that the packaging passes, by l application of a predetermined constraint on a predetermined area of the second face, a storage position of the writing instruments in which the first face is concave to a use position in which the first face is convex.
  • the caps are thus integral with each other, which prevents their loss; the packaging is durable and easy to store without risk of loss or overturning of the writing instruments; the selection of writing instruments is easy with immediate visibility of all colors; the conditions of the European standard EN 71-3, in particular on the ingestion of the cap and on the risk of injury in the event of a fall on the packaging, are perfectly fulfilled.
  • the storage position of the writing instruments, grouped in a package may not be suitable for presentation for sale.
  • the radial projection positioning of the writing instruments fixed on the convex hull in the use position can make the device too bulky, especially for school use.
  • One of the aims of the present invention is to provide a package which at least partially solves the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the deformable areas allow a user to pivot a writing instrument attached to a connector individually to other writing instruments. It is then easy to grasp the body of the writing instrument by hand to disengage it from the packaging.
  • the writing instruments are therefore easily prehensile, which is quite advantageous for young children.
  • the packaging allows easy viewing and therefore a quick selection of different colors of writing instruments.
  • the caps are integral with each other, which prevents their loss.
  • the packaging is durable and easy to store without risk of loss or overturning of the writing instruments.
  • the invention also relates to a set of writing instruments comprising writing instruments characterized in that it comprises a packaging as described above.
  • the main direction of a writing instrument is the longitudinal direction.
  • the figure 1 shows a set of writing instruments 1 comprising writing instruments 2 and a package 3.
  • the package 3 comprises a gripping portion 4 and at least two connectors 6.
  • the gripping portion 4 has a generally elongated shape, extending substantially in a transverse direction T, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L of the writing instruments 2 when they are attached to the package 3 in row position in line.
  • the gripping portion 4 may comprise a gripping bar 5 for example provided with bulges 5a, 5b, 5c to facilitate the grip especially by children.
  • the bulges 5a, 5b, 5c can be arranged symmetrically and extend over the entire length of the gripping portion 4.
  • a bulge 5a of larger size is for example arranged in the center and bulges 5b, 5c of decreasing sizes can be arranged on either side of the central bulge 5a.
  • the gripping bar 5 thus has a design cloud both aesthetic and functional, the bulges 5a, 5b, 5c allowing easy handling of the assembly 1 by a young child as well with his left hand with his right hand .
  • the gripping bar 5 is rigid, it does not deform under the effort exerted by a user. In this example, this rigidity is produced by the extra thicknesses of the bulges 5a, 5b, 5c.
  • a suspension hole 7, for example of triangular shape, can be formed in the gripping portion 4, and more precisely in the gripping bar 5, in the middle, for suspending the package 3 on a rack.
  • the package 3 can then serve as both a pouch for sale and case for the end user.
  • Each connector 6 is configured to be attached to a respective writing instrument 2.
  • the connectors 6 are for example fixed non-releasably to caps 8 writing instruments 2, such as felts.
  • the caps 8 are thus interconnected by the package 3 to form a single non-removable assembly.
  • the packaging 3 comprises, for example, a series of writing instruments 2 of the felt type.
  • the number of writing instruments 2 can be chosen to correspond to the number of different colors that constitute a color palette usually used for coloring.
  • the assembly 1 comprises six, twelve, eighteen, or twenty-four writing instruments 2, so many caps 8 being attached to as many connectors 6.
  • the connectors 6 are respectively connected to the gripping portion 4 by an elastically deformable zone so as to be able to pivot a connector 6 individually with respect to a position arranged in line with the other connectors 6.
  • the axes of the connectors 6 are parallel to one another.
  • the deformable areas may respectively have a tab shape 9, thin and substantially flat.
  • the elastic deformation is thus obtained thanks to the geometric characteristics of the deformable zone connecting each connector 6 to the gripping portion 4.
  • the substantially thin and flat shape in tongue 9 allows a local curvature of the package 3 when a user lifts an instrument 2. This deformation allows the user to pivot a writing instrument 2 individually other writing instruments 2 ( Figures 7 and 8 ). It is then easy to grasp the body of the writing instrument 2 to disengage it from the packaging 3.
  • the tabs 9 fit for example in the same plane when the writing instruments 2 connected to the connectors 6 are in row position in line, allowing the writing instruments 2 to be stored next to each other in parallel on a single and even plane (L, T).
  • This plane of the tongues 9 can be arranged up to the middle of the connectors 6. This online layout limits the overall dimensions of the assembly 1 in thickness, which facilitates the shelving and storage.
  • the tabs 9 extend in the gripping portion 4 by a flat portion 10. This avoids a thickness break between the tongues 9 and the gripping bar 5 which could have weakened the tongues 9.
  • the flat portion 10 and more generally, the gripping portion 4 may have an elongated shape of variable thickness so that the writing instruments 2 in row position in line are not rigorously aligned from a straight line but from a line Curved in an arc giving an effect suspended to the assembly 1.
  • the tongues 9 may, in addition to being thin and flat, be narrower in the middle, that is to say have a width (or transverse dimension ) thinned, at least narrower than the width of the connectors 6.
  • flanks of the tongues 9 may be concave, the gap between two adjacent tongues 9 having in row-in-line position in the (L, T) plane a substantially rounded shape such as a droplet ( figures 1 and 5 ).
  • the package 3 can be made in one piece, which limits production costs. It is for example made by molding at least one plastic material, such as a thermoplastic elastomer. The deformable zones in the form of tongues 9 are thus formed by thinning of the package 3.
  • the package 3 overmold at least partially the caps 8
  • Manufacturing costs can be limited by taking advantage of the ventilation holes 11 of the standard caps 8 ( figure 6 ) to overmold the material of the package 3 in the orifices 11, the material filling the orifices 11 during overmolding.
  • These ventilation holes 11 make it possible to avoid the risk of suffocation by ingestion of the caps 8 by the children to meet the requirements of the EN 71-3 toy standard.
  • the caps 8 are fixed non-releasably to the package 3, these ventilation holes 11 are no longer necessary, the package 3 also having itself too large dimensions to be ingested .
  • the connectors 6 thus formed by overmoulding thus have shapes complementary to the ventilation orifices 11 as visible on the Figures 3 and 4 .
  • the caps 8 are thus integral with each other, which prevents their loss.
  • the package 3 is durable and easy to store without the risk of loss or overturning of the writing instruments 2.
  • the position of use of the package 3 allows easy viewing and therefore a rapid selection of the different colors of the writing instruments 2.
  • the writing instruments 2 are easily prehensile, which is quite advantageous for young children.
  • the package 3 can be made in one piece with the caps 8 of the writing instruments 2.
  • the package 3 and the caps 8 can be obtained by bi-injection using one or more materials , the caps 8 being for example made of a material different from that of the packaging 3.
  • the package 3 can be made in one piece by molding at least two materials, a first material forming the connectors 6 and the gripping portion 4 while a second softer material forms the deformable areas connecting the connectors 6 to the gripping portion 4.
  • the elastic deformation is thus obtained thanks to the characteristics of the material of the deformable zones connecting each connector 6 to the gripping portion 4.
  • the package 3 is mainly intended for writing instruments 2 provided with a capillary tip, but it can quite be applied to any other writing instrument such as a writing instrument with a ball point, a colored pencil, etc.
  • the connectors can be configured to be removably connected to the writing instruments. When a user wants to grab a colored pencil, he lifts the selected pencil by deforming the tab, which facilitates its entry to disengage the pen from the connector.
