Abstract

Pouch making it possible to carry a certain number of toothpicks on one's person, in a compact and dirt-free manner. It consists of an envelope 1 made from a flexible material, comprising pre-stamped folding lines constituting a backing, and a protection flap, between which is inserted a cluster of toothpicks 3, held on the envelope by stapling and/or adhesive bonding or clipping, which cluster is composed of a collector channel 2, to which each toothpick is connected by means of a secondary channel 4, the cross section of which is reduced to the minimum compatible with a link sufficient to hold each toothpick in the pouch, while enabling it, however, to be removed through the effect of a simple pull and/or twist motion.

Description

La présente invention concerne une pochette distributrice de cure-dents. The present invention relates to a dispenser pouch for toothpicks.

Les cure-dents, qu'ils soient constitués de hampes creuses, de plumes d'oiseaux, de bâtonnets de bois, ou de lamelles de matière plastique sont vendus en coffrets, soit en vrac, soit sous un emballage unitaire constitué à titre d'hygiène, d'un fourreau de papier aseptisé, ce qui présente un inconvenient pour leur usage quotidien à l'occasion de repas pris en-dehors du domicile. Leur présence dans le sac ou la pochette de ville ou à même dans une poche de vêtement, nuit à leur propreté même s'ils étaient primitivement préservés de toute souillure par leur conditionnement aseptique, ce dernier étant rapidement détérioré par les frottements répétés auxquels ils sont soumis. Toothpicks, whether made from hollow shafts, bird feathers, wooden sticks, or plastic strips, are sold in boxes, either in bulk or in unit packaging made up of hygiene, of a sanitized sheath of paper, which presents a disadvantage for their daily use during meals taken outside the home. Their presence in the city bag or pocket or even in a garment pocket, detracts from their cleanliness even if they were originally preserved from any stain by their aseptic conditioning, the latter being rapidly deteriorated by the repeated friction to which they are submitted.

La pochette support, suivant l'invention, vise à remédier à cet inconvénient. Celle-ci permet en effet de transporter sur soi, sous un encombrement reduit un certain nombre de cure-dents, à l'abri des souillures. The support pouch according to the invention aims to remedy this drawback. This allows you to carry on you, in a reduced footprint a number of toothpicks, away from dirt.

La pochette support, objet de l'invention, est constituée d'une enveloppe en un matériau relativement souple tel que la matière plastique ou le carton par exemple dont le rainage ou les lignes de pliage pré-marquées permettent de réaliser un dosseret et un rabat de protection entre lesquels s'insère un faisceau de cure-dents réalisés en matière plastique injectée, lequel faisceau brut de démoulage est constitué d'un canal-collecteur auquel est relié chaque cure-dents par un canal secondaire qui lui est propre ; la section de ce dernier est réduite au minimum compatible avec une liaison suffisante pour assurer le maintien de chaque cure-dents dans la pochette support et permettre toutefois son extraction de celle-ci sous l'effet d'une simple traction.L'ensemble du faisceau est maintenu à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe par agrafage et/ou collage, ou par clipsage de têtons venus de moulage dans des trous de l'enveloppe ou par tout autre moyen de fixation. The support pocket, object of the invention, consists of an envelope made of a relatively flexible material such as plastic or cardboard, for example, the creasing or the pre-marked fold lines allow a backsplash and a flap to be produced. of protection between which a bundle of toothpicks made of injected plastic is inserted, which raw unmolding bundle consists of a collecting channel to which each toothpick is connected by a secondary channel which is specific to it; the cross section of the latter is reduced to the minimum compatible with a sufficient connection to ensure the maintenance of each toothpick in the support pouch and yet allow its extraction from the latter under the effect of a simple pull. beam is maintained inside the envelope by stapling and / or gluing, or by clipping of pins coming from molding in holes of the envelope or by any other fixing means.

Les dessins annexés illustrent des modes de realisation d'une pochette support conformes à la présente invention. Ceux-ci représentent : - en figure 1, une vue en position déployée de l'enveloppe selon un mode de réalisation, - en figure 2, une vue sur chant de l'enveloppe correspondant à la figure 1, en position pliée, - en figure 3, une vue en position pliée éclatée de l'enveloppe selon une variante de réalisation, - en figure 4, une vue sur chant de l'enveloppe correspondant à la figure 3. The accompanying drawings illustrate embodiments of a support pocket according to the present invention. These represent: - in FIG. 1, a view in the deployed position of the envelope according to an embodiment, - in FIG. 2, a view on edge of the envelope corresponding to FIG. 1, in the folded position, - in FIG. 3, a view in exploded folded position of the envelope according to an alternative embodiment, - in FIG. 4, a singing view of the envelope corresponding to FIG. 3.

Tel que représenté en figures 1 et 2, la pochette est constituée d'une enveloppe 1 comportant deux lignes de rainage ou de pliage pré-marquées la et lb disposées symétriquement par rapport à la ligne médiane de l'enveloppe correspondant à la largeur de celle-ci en position dépliée. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the pocket consists of an envelope 1 comprising two pre-marked creasing or folding lines 1a and 1b arranged symmetrically with respect to the center line of the envelope corresponding to the width of that -this in the unfolded position.

Le faisceau de cure-dents en matière plastique injectée comporte, placé sur cette ligne médiane, un canal collecteur 2 de largeur telle qu'il puisse s inscrire entre les deux lignes la et lb sans gêner le pliage de l'enveloppe, lequel canal collecteur porte sur un ou sur ses deux chants un faisceau de cure-dents 3 en liaison chacun avec ledit canal collecteur par un canal secondaire 4 de faible section sécable par simple traction ou torsion. Les deux faisceaux peuvent etre disposés en ligne l'un par rapport à l'autre ou en position décalée d'un demi-intervalle. Le canal collecteur est fixé sur l'enveloppe, dans la bande comprise entre les deux lignes de rainage la et lb au moyen de deux tetons 5 s'enfonçant à force dans des perforations 6 prévues à cet effet dans l'axe médian de ladite bande.The bundle of toothpicks made of injected plastic material comprises, placed on this central line, a collecting channel 2 of width such that it can fit between the two lines 1a and 1b without interfering with the folding of the envelope, which collecting channel carries on one or on its two edges a bundle of toothpicks 3 in connection each with said collecting channel by a secondary channel 4 of small section which can be broken by simple traction or twisting. The two beams can be arranged in line with one another or in a position offset by a half-interval. The collecting channel is fixed on the envelope, in the strip between the two creasing lines 1a and 1b by means of two studs 5 which are forced into holes 6 provided for this purpose in the median axis of said strip. .

Dans une autre variante illustrée en figures 3 et 4, l'enveloppe 1 comporte à une certaine distance de l'une de ses extrémités une ligne de pliage pré-marquée lc permettant par rabattement complet de constituer une sorte de pince avec la partie de l'enveloppe qui lui est contigüe, laquelle partie comporte, sensiblement en son milieu une ligne de pliage ld, la position de celle-ci permettant à la partie de l'enveloppe située côté opposé à la pince et formant un rabat de protection de venir à recouvrement de la pince ou s'encastrer à l'intérieur de la pince pour assurer une sorte de fermeture. Dans cette pince, s'inscrit l'épais seur du canal collecteur 2 muni d'un ou de deux faisceaux de cure-dents 3, d'un seul côté du collecteur. La fixation du collecteur sur l'enveloppe à l'intérieur de la pince peut etre identique à celle décrite dans le mode de réalisation précédemment décrit ; elle peut également être obtenue par agrafage et/ou collage tel que représenté dans la figure 3. In another variant illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the casing 1 has, at a certain distance from one of its ends, a pre-marked fold line lc allowing, by complete folding down, to constitute a sort of clamp with the part of the envelope which is contiguous to it, which part comprises, substantially in its middle a fold line ld, the position thereof allowing the part of the envelope situated on the side opposite to the clamp and forming a protective flap to come to covering of the clamp or fitting inside the clamp to ensure a sort of closure. In this clamp, inserts the thickness of the collecting channel 2 provided with one or two toothpick bundles 3, on one side of the collecting unit. The attachment of the collector to the envelope inside the clamp may be identical to that described in the embodiment described above; it can also be obtained by stapling and / or gluing as shown in FIG. 3.

Dans l'une ou l'autre des variantes, chaque cure-dents comporte, côté canal secondaire une partie rigide se terminant, coté opposé, par une partie amincie en forme de lame souple. In one or other of the variants, each toothpick comprises, on the secondary channel side, a rigid part ending, on the opposite side, by a thinned part in the form of a flexible blade.

La pochette support distributrice, objet de l'invention, peut etre utilisée pour la vente de cure-dents ou à titre de support publicitaire offert par les restaurateurs par exemple. The dispenser support pouch, object of the invention, can be used for the sale of toothpicks or as an advertising medium offered by restaurateurs for example.
