Description
- The present disclosure relates to a package for cutting tools. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a package for cutting tools which allows improved showcasing and packaging of the cutting tools.
- Cutting tools, particularly small cutting tools, are generally packaged within a package which usually includes a vertical hanging arrangement. This allows a potential buyer to better interact with different details and specifications of the cutting tools and assess whether the cutting tool suits his/her needs. The package generally has a transparent plastic cover which covers at least some parts of the cutting tools. This transparent plastic may limit ability of the potential buyer to interact with the cutting tool. There have been numerous efforts to limit or avoid application of the plastic cover for the cutting tools.
- Some packages also allow the potential buyer to perform limited operations with the cutting tools without having to completely disassemble or open up the package. However, this could pose certain security threats for the potential buyer and may also have a bearing on the life of the package or cutting edges of the cutting tool. Further, there are constraints to better market the cutting tools, preferably with better utilization of the package of the cutting tools for providing written description about the cutting tool. These issues make a case to ensure better trial, showcasing of the cutting tool within the package, while avoiding use of the transparent plastic cover.
- Thus, there is a need of an improved package which allows to enhance appeal, and user trial of the cutting tools packaged within the package.
- In view of the above, it is an objective of the present invention to solve or at least reduce the drawbacks discussed above. The objective is at least partially achieved by a package. The package includes a package body for packaging a cutting tool. The package body includes one or more first cut-out sections which at least partially cover one or more cutting edges of the cutting tool. The package is characterized in that the package body includes one or more second cut-out sections such that a removable fastener engages therewith. The removable fastener is adapted to engage with at least one handle of the cutting tool. Further, the removable fastener allows removable coupling between the cutting tool and the package by engaging with a hole of the at least one handle of the cutting tool and the one or more second cut-out sections of the package.
- According to an embodiment of the present invention, the removable fastener is a pin. This allows ease of coupling between the cutting tool and the package by application of the pin.
- According to an embodiment of the present invention, the hole of the cutting tool is provided at an end of the handle which is opposite to the cutting edges of the cutting tool. This ensures that the handle of the cutting tool is relatively free to move with respect to the cutting edge, while being assembled within the package.
- According to an embodiment of the present invention, the hole is a wrist strap hole of the cutting tool. This allows use of the wrist strap hole to fasten or assemble the cutting tool with the package.
- According to an embodiment of the present invention, the one or more second cut-out sections resembles a shape of the handle which includes the hole. This shape of the second cut-out sections allows ease of engagement with the handle of the cutting tool, while the cutting tool remains within the package.
- According to an embodiment of the present invention, the package body includes a first body part and a second body part joined to each other at a line of weakness. This allows that the second body part is foldable or removable from the package body along the line of weakness. This provision of the removable second body part allows ease of engagement and trial of the cutting tool within the package.
- According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cutting tool is a shear. The cutting tool maybe any portable tool such as a shear, secateurs, scissors, and the like.
- According to an embodiment of the present invention, a cutting tool is packaged with the package. The package allows easy and convenient handling of the cutting tool, while ensuring protection to the cutting edges thereof.
