Abstract

The packaging tray for windscreen wiper blades comprises one or more cavities (3) in its bottom comprising lateral undercuts (2) for locking in position the windscreen wiper blades.

Description

-1 La présente invention concerne la conception d'un bac thermoformé pour-1 The present invention relates to the design of a thermoformed container for

lethe

transport de balais d'essuie-glace, en arc de cercle.  transport of wiper blades, in an arc.

Les balais d'essuie-glace sont emballés dans des containers en plastique thermoformé. Pour la distribution libre service, ces containers sont des blisters ou les balais sont présentés soit individuellement, soit par paire. Pour les constructeurs automobiles les balais d'essuie-glace généralement montés sur leur porte-balai, sont livrés dans des grands bacs gerbables contenant chacun une couche composée de  The wiper blades are packed in thermoformed plastic containers. For self-service distribution, these containers are blisters or the brooms are presented either individually or in pairs. For car manufacturers, the wiper blades, generally mounted on their brush holders, are delivered in large stackable boxes, each containing a layer composed of

plusieurs ensembles balais et porte-balais.  several sets of brushes and brush holders.

Les pièces moulées de par la dépouille nécessaire pour le dévêtissement ont tendance à s'emboîter les une dans les autres. Il faut donc, pour les bacs de transport et de manutention, éviter ce défaut pour protéger le contenu. Il est alors coutume de créer des contre-dépouilles dans le haut du bac pour permettre le  The parts molded by the draft necessary for stripping tend to fit one into the other. It is therefore necessary, for transport and handling bins, to avoid this defect to protect the content. It is then customary to create undercuts at the top of the tank to allow the

gerbage en limitant l'encastrement du bac supérieur dans celui du dessous.  stacking by limiting the embedding of the upper bin in the lower one.

Puis contrairement aux balais d'essuie-glace traditionnel les nouveaux balais d'essuie-glace sont constitués de 2 lames cintrées, en acier ressort, situées de part et d'autre du balai en caoutchouc. Ses deux lames cambrent fortement le balai en caoutchouc en arc de cercle qui du fait de cette courbure occupe un  Then, unlike traditional wiper blades, the new wiper blades consist of 2 curved blades, made of spring steel, located on either side of the rubber blade. Its two blades strongly camber the rubber broom in an arc of circle which because of this curvature occupies a

volume important pour le transport.large volume for transport.

Pour réduire le volume et protéger la lèvre du balai en caoutchouc de toutes déformations, le plus simple est de remettre le balai d'essuieglace à plat en comprimant les lames ressorts et en les verrouillant dans cette position dans l'emballage. Le principe de l'invention par sa simplicité, grâce à des contre-dépouilles créant un 25 verrouillage du balai d'essuie-glace au fond du bac ou dans le blister, résout le  To reduce the volume and protect the lip of the rubber broom from any deformation, the easiest way is to put the wiper blade flat by compressing the spring blades and locking them in this position in the packaging. The principle of the invention by its simplicity, thanks to undercuts creating a locking of the wiper blade at the bottom of the tank or in the blister, solves the

problème de façon pratique et bon marchée.  practical and inexpensive problem.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention:  The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:

La figure 1 représente le balai d'essuie-glace dans sa position libre.  Figure 1 shows the wiper blade in its free position.

La figure 2 représente balais d'essuie-glace dans sa position de transport dans le 30 bac ou le blister.  FIG. 2 shows wiper blades in their transport position in the tray or the blister.

La figure 3 représente la coupe du balai d'essuie-glace dans le logement en contre-dépouille du bac. La lèvre (1) du balai protégée dans l'alvéole (2), les deux lames d'acier ressort (3) coincés en position horizontale par les contre-dépouilles -2  Figure 3 shows the section of the wiper blade in the undercut housing of the tray.

(4) du fond du bac. La contre-dépouille est composée de 2 pentes (5 et 6). Dans le cas d'un bac de forte épaisseur, présentant donc une rigidité importante, l'inclinaison des pentes permet le verrouillage et déverrouillage, du balai d'essuieglace par une légère rotation permettant l'introduction de la lame ressort (3) sous 5 la contre-dépouille (6) puis utilisant le jeu de l'alvéole (2) basculer l'autre coté pour le glisser sous l'autre contre-dépouille.  (4) from the bottom of the tank. The undercut consists of 2 slopes (5 and 6). In the case of a very thick tank, therefore having significant rigidity, the inclination of the slopes allows the locking and unlocking of the wiper blade by a slight rotation allowing the introduction of the spring blade (3) under 5 the undercut (6) then using the clearance of the cell (2) tilt the other side to slide it under the other undercut.

Dans le cas d'un blister les mêmes pentes permettent l'encliquetage en jouant sur  In the case of a blister, the same slopes allow the latching by playing on

l'élasticité de la forme de l'alvéole.  the elasticity of the shape of the cell.

La figure 4 représente un exemple en coupe la superposition de deux bacs de 10 transport d'essuie-glace dont les contre-dépouilles (1) permettent de gerber les bacs en protégeant les pièces en dessous. La contredépouille (1) étant sur toute la périphérie supérieure du bac et la contre-dépouille (2) sur chaque alvéole (3)  FIG. 4 shows an example in section of the superposition of two wiper transport tanks 10 of which the undercuts (1) make it possible to stack the tanks while protecting the parts below.
