Description

Safety package for nails, screws and Similar.

The present invention relates to a package of security for nails, screws and the like.

The use of tools such as hammers, screwdrivers and others, both domestically as in the professional field, it often causes injuries more or less severe due mainly to the accidental impacts of such as tools on the hands of the operator.

As is known, these impacts can be caused by simple negligence or lack of care in directing nails or screws, or for difficult working conditions, due to for example, in a hurry or lack of work space, between other things.

Therefore there is a need to provide adequate protections for the operator's hands, especially with particular reference to the operations carried out in the field domestic, which, as it is known, are often performed without the necessary precautions which an expert knows instead How to adopt them.

Document DE 90 06 324 U1 discloses a package for fin studs provided with a combination of structural characteristics as defined in the part Precharacterizer of the attached claim 1.

The purpose of the present invention is to fulfill The requirement mentioned above, providing a package of security for nails, screws and the like which allows perform operations with hammers, screwdrivers and others tools in conditions of maximum security.

With this purpose, an objective of the present invention is to provide a nail safety package, screws and the like that is practical, reliable and versatile in your utilization.

Another objective of the present invention is provide a security package that is simple, relatively easy to provide in practice, safe, effective use in operation and that has a relatively low cost.

According to the invention, a package of current security for nails, screws and the like, which is defined in the appended claims.

The additional features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment, but not exclusive, of a security package for nails, screws and similar according to the invention, illustrated by way of example no limiting in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a plan view of the package according to the invention, in a first embodiment and in the work settings;

Figure 2 is a plan view of the package of Figure 1, in the configuration of placement of a nail;

Figure 3 is a plan view of the package according to the invention in a second embodiment and in the work settings;

Figure 4 is a plan view of the package of Figure 3, in the configuration of placement of a nail;

Figure 5 is a perspective view of a package that is not part of the present invention, but which is useful to understand the operation of the package in its various embodiments according to the invention.

In the following embodiments Example, individual characteristics, provided with in relation to specific examples, they can really be exchanged with other different characteristics that exist in the others exemplary embodiments.

In addition, it indicates that anything that is find that it is already known during the patent process is understand that it is not claimed nor will it be the subject of a resignation.

Referring to figure 1, the number of reference 1 globally designated a security package for nails, screws and the like according to the invention, in a first embodiment of it.

Package 1 is the type that includes minus one support, globally designated by the number of reference 2, which is provided with at least one box that is can open 3 for nails, screws or the like (for example nuts, staples or other elements), designated by the reference number 4.

The support 2, which has any shape, preferably it is made of a synthetic material such as plastic or other materials that have the characteristics equivalent mechanics, for the reasons which will be manifest later in this document. The support 2 can be affected by a kind of window 2a, which allows hanging said support in a suitable hook provided in the display and in the sale space

The box that can be opened 3 can be made for example of plastic (transparent or opaque) and glued to support 2, or it can also be made of other materials and be fixed to said support by means of connection elements from a different class.

According to the invention, the security package it comprises at least one retention element 5, which is adapted to hold with a hand 6 the nail 4 or the screw in the working position and is such that said hand is at a sufficient safety distance so that it cannot be accidentally hit by hammers 7, screwdrivers or Well other manipulation tools.

In more detail, the retention element 5 it is advantageously constituted by a support part 2, which is affected by at least one seat 8 for insertion by At least one nail 4 or screw.

The insertion seat 8 is formed conveniently by two mutually opposite tabs 9, 10 the which are elastically flexible and are associated with the support 2, the tabs 9, 10 can therefore be moved manually from an active configuration (figure 1), in which they are maintained elastically against each other so that they retain nail 4 or the screw in a configuration for nail placement 4 (figure 2) in which they are substantially separated from each other from so that they allow the operator to insert the nail between them Four.

Each of the tabs 9, 10 has its respective free end 9a, 10a affected by curved areas 11 for insertion of the axis of the nail 4 or of the screw; the tabs 9, 10 are additionally provided with bridges 12, 13 respective for an elastically flexible connection with the support 2.

The tabs 9, 10 have end portions 14, 15 respectively which are mutually opposite to the respective free ends 9a, 10a and are affected by grooves for finger insertion 16.

The package utilization procedure according to the invention it is as follows. Once it has open the box 3 to remove the nails 4 or the screws, apply light pressure on the tabs 9, 10 by inserting the fingers in the slots 16 so that they move the tabs to a mutually separate nail placement configuration; releasing the tabs 9, 10 the nail is elastically retained between them and therefore can be directed with the hammer 7 simply holding support 2 with one hand; This allows Keep your hand a sufficient safe distance.

It is noted that the retaining element 5 can be provided in such a way that it can be removed from support 2 in order to facilitate its use; in particular, the retention element 5 may be delimited by at least one tear line which is formed in the support 2, or, as an alternative, the retaining element 5 may be glued on said support.

Therefore, it has been shown that the invention It achieves the intended purpose and objectives.

The package according to the invention allows to avoid wounds with hammers, screwdrivers and the like in one way Extremely cheap and versatile.

It is indicated that the retention element can be provided in any position with respect to the support (for example above, below, laterally).

In addition, it is possible to provide a solution constructive opposite, in which the tabs close a against each other by manual pressure and instead remain elastically open by nail insertion.

A second embodiment of the package according to the invention is represented in figures 3 and 4. In this example, the package comprises a plurality of seats of insert 8, 8a, so that they make their use even more versatile.

In more detail, support 2 is affected for second insertion seats 8a, each of which is constituted by a kind of notch which is shaped substantially V, the sides of the V-shaped notch are provided with respective tooth distributions 17 for the nail retention The nail is inserted by pressure on the second seats 8a until it is stably retained by interference.

The invention conceived in this way is susceptible of various modifications and variations, all of them within the scope of the claims attached.

All details can be replaced with others technically equivalent.

In practice, the materials used as well As the shapes and dimensions, they can be according to the requirements without departing, therefore, from the scope of protection of attached claims.
