FR2808452A1 - Protective case for carrying flat fragile articles has rigid shell with opening to receive article placed in outer case with carrying strap - Google Patents

Abstract

The protective case has a rigid shell (I) with an opening (2) in which is placed the micrometer. The assembly is placed in a case (5) with a carrying strap and a closure (8). The shell can be used on its own, with a hinged cover having a lock and a strap

Description

The present invention relates to a device for protecting monopalmes, also to facilitate transport.

Currently these monopalmes are transported in a simple cloth cover, provided with straps. The risks of breakage and damage are permanent. They question the possibility of participating in competitions and make it virtually impossible to baggage or dispatch by other means.

The device according to the invention overcomes these disadvantages. It consists, in fact, according to a first characteristic, in a protective shell slightly larger than the contents with an opening for the introduction and a cover for transport aid.

According to a second characteristic, the hull is used alone. HULL According to particular embodiments It can be made of composite materials; by lamination, plastic, injection molding or roto-molding.

It may comprise two, three or four elements, the first and the second are fixed together and remain integral, the third, the lid, movable, articulated and lockable, the fourth (according to claim) is constituted by straps or other transportation aids. THE COVER It comes from flexible materials - fabrics, plastics, fabrics whose parts are interconnected by seams, cold gluing or thermoplastic assembly.

It is shaped to the above-mentioned hull, - with outer pocket (s), - with straps or other transport aids, - with closing system (slides, pressure, scrach). The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.

- Figure 1 shows the top view of the device of invention. - The figure shows the front view of the device of the invention.

FIG. 3 shows a variant of FIG.

- Figure -4 shows the side view and sectional view of the device. - Figure - 5 shows the device wrapped in its cover.

- Figure 6 shows the wrapped section of the device.

- Figure 7 represents the variant, with cover, of the device.

- Figure 8 shows the side view and in section of the variant VII. With reference to these drawings it is a device, shell (1) plus cover, whose form is suitable for transporting and protecting monopalms. The face comprises, in its upper part (2), an opening whose size and shape allow the introduction of the object to be protected. The inclined plane has a variable depth (3) for compensating height or slippers, depending on the quantity transported. This form thus ensures the protection of the whole. A rubber band, or similar, is glued in the longest part of the base and the narrowest of the inclined plane, in order to serve as a buffer and protection for the thinnest and most fragile portion of the monopalme ( 4). The whole is intended to be put in the cover (5). It is equipped with straps for easy transport.

It comprises less an outer pocket (7). Its flap is provided with a closure system (8).

According to a variant <B>; </ B> the hull, is provided with a cover (9) articulated on a hinged system (10), with possibility of locking (11) and transport aids (12).

By way of non-limiting example, the base shell, whose shape recalls that of a rectangle surmounted by a triangle (open correspondence envelope), will have dimensions of the order of-length 75 cm, height 75 cm, depth at the base 3 cm, depth of the high point 12 cm. This depth varies according to the model.

The cover is of appropriate dimensions; to allow the introduction of the hull.

As already indicated, the device according to the invention is more particularly intended for the protection and transport of monopalms.

Claims (3)

1) Device transport and protection of monopalmes characterized by a shell (1) whose upper part of the face has an orifice (2) for the introduction of one or more monopalmes. In the base, the longer part and the shallower, is glued a shock absorbing strip (4) of rubberized material or the like on which will come to rest the longest part, the thinnest and most fragile part of the monopalme. 2) Device according to claim 1 characterized by the addition of a lid (9), hinges (10), a lock (11) and straps <B> (</ B>). 3) transport device, in addition to claim 1, characterized by a cover (5) of flexible material and resistant - provided with straps (6) - in which can be introduced the shell (1).
