Description

A POSTAL TUBE END CLOSURE DEVICE
The invention relates to a postal tube end closure device. The invention further relates to an anti roll part for a postal tube end closure assembly. The invention yet further relates to a postal tube end closure assembly.
Postal tubes having a circular cross section are well known.
Courier and postal companies have sorting offices which use various equipment to move and sort postal tubes. For example, flat and angled conveyors are employed. Tilt trays are also employed. Such equipment is often automated or semi automated, in that there is little or no human oversight. A problem with known postal tubes is that they roll off the equipment before reaching the intended destination within the sorting office.
An aim of the present invention is to provide an improved and/or at least an alternative, postal tube end closure device.
According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a postal tube end closure device in accordance with Claim 1. A separate aim of the present invention is to provide an improved and/or at least an alternative anti roll part for a postal tube end closure assembly.
According to a second aspect of the invention there is provided an anti roll part for a postal tube end closure assembly in accordance with Claim 9.
Another aim of the present invention is to provide an improved and/or at least an alternative, postal tube end closure assembly
According to a third aspect of the invention there is provided a postal tube end closure assembly in accordance with Claim 15.
In this way, the problem of postal tubes rolling during transit can be reduced.
Other optional and preferred features of the invention are set out in the dependent claims, and the description, below. The features of one aspect of the invention can be combined in any complimentary manner, with one or more features of another aspect of the invention, the dependent claims, and/or with one or more features of the description, where such a combination of features would provide a working embodiment of the invention.

Figure 11 is a front view of an alternative postal tube end closure, i.e. a view analogous to Figure 1,
Figure 12 is a front view of yet another alternative postal tube end closure, i.e. a view analogous to Figure 1.
Figures 1 to 5 show a postal tube end closure 10 in accordance with one embodiment.
Referring to Figures 1 and 3, the postal tube end closure 10 comprises a postal tube end closure part 12 and an anti roll part 14.
The postal tube end closure part 12 is in the form of a closed tube, closed at one end.
The anti roll part 14 is oriented perpendicularly to the postal tube end closure part 12. In embodiments that are not shown for conciseness it is envisaged by the Applicant that the anti roll part 14 can be arranged merely transversely to the postal tube end closure part 12.
The anti roll part 14 is planar in shape as shown in Figure 3.
In Figure 2 the postal tube end closure part 12 is “in front of’ the anti roll part 14, the closed end of the postal tube end closure part 12 being the foremost part. The circle in Figure 1 denotes the inside diameter of the tubular part of the postal tube end closure part 12 and the circle in Figure 2 denotes the outside diameter of the tubular part of the postal tube end closure part 12, so the circle in Figure 2 will be of a greater diameter than the circle in Figure 1.
Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the anti roll part 14 comprises a first effectively flat support surface 16, a second effectively flat support surface 18, and a third effectively flat support surface 20.
Each of the first effectively flat support surface 16, the second effectively flat support surface 18, and the third effectively flat support surface 20 correspond to at least part of the three sides of a triangle, specifically each of the first effectively flat support surface 16, the second effectively flat support surface 18, and the third effectively flat support surface 20 correspond to at least part of the three sides of an equilateral triangle. Therefore, the first effectively flat support surface 16, the second effectively flat support surface 18, and the third effectively flat support surface 20 are spaced by internal angles of 60 degrees.
In one preferred embodiment of the invention, instead of vertices where the first side 16 meets the second side 18, where the second side 18 meets the third side 20, and where the third side 20 meets the first side 16, the anti roll part 14 comprises a first rounded corner 22 where the first side 16 meets the second side 18, a second rounded comer 24 where the second side 18 meets the third side 20, and a third first rounded comer 26 where the third side 20 meets the first side 16. In other words, each two successive effectively flat support surfaces of the three effectively flat support surfaces have an arcuate surface connecting them rather than a pointed corner.
Between rounded comers, the first side 16, the second side 18, and the third side 20 are straight.
It will be appreciated that although the first side 16, the second side 18, and the third side 20 constitute three flat support surfaces, the form of the first side 16, the second side 18, and the third side 20 can vary so long as the surfaces are “effectively flat”. An example of effectively flat, but not flat, support surfaces is disclosed in the embodiment described with reference to Figure 11 below.
Half way between rounded comers, at a mid point along each of the first side 16, the second side 18, and the third side 20, the distance between the postal tube end closure part 12 and each of the first side 16, the second side 18, and the third side 20, is a minimum.
In use, referring to Figures 4 and 5, the postal tube end closure 10 is installed in an end of a known postal tube 30.
Referring to Figure 5, postal tube end closures 10 are installed in opposing ends of the postal tube 30.
The postal tube end closures 10 are arranged so that they are rotationally in phase with one another. In other words, when you look at the end of the tube, you only see the outline of one postal tube end closure 10.
Where the distance between the postal tube end closure part 12 and each of the first side 16, the second side 18, and the third side 20, is a minimum, a stapler can be used to staple the postal tube end closure 10 to the postal tube 30.
Referring to Figures 2 and 5, the distance from the centre of the postal tube end closure part 12 to a mid point 31 of at least one of the effectively flat support surfaces exceeds the distance from the centre of the postal tube end closure part to the inside surface 32 of the tubular part 12 of the postal tube end closure part by no more than 1 cm. Moreover, the distance from the centre of the postal tube end closure part to the inside of the postal tube end closure part is approximately the same as the distance from the centre of the postal tube end closure part to the mid point of at least one of the effectively flat support surfaces. Such an arrangement allows arms of a conventional stapler to pass around the anti roll part 14 and then staple through the tubular wall of the postal tube end closure part 12 so as to fasten the postal tube end closure device 10 to the postal tube 30 when the postal tube end closure device is installed in the postal tube.
When the postal tube end closure 10 passes through a conveyor or a tilt tray, the flat support surface of the first side 16, the second side 18, and the third side 20 matches the conveyor or a tilt tray surface, and the postal tube end closure 10, and therefore the postal tube 30, is not prone to roll on the conveyor or tilt tray.
Moreover, the flat support surface of the first side 16, the second side 18, and the third side 20 matches the conveyor or a tilt tray surface, maximising the contact between the two parts, thereby minimising relative slip between the postal tube end closure 10 and the postal tube 30.
To remove the postal tube end closure 10 from the postal tube 30 you simply grip the anti roll part 14 in the vicinity of one of the first rounded comer 22, the second rounded comer 24, and the third first rounded corner 26, and pull the postal tube end closure 10 away from the postal tube 30, removing any staples if they have been used to fasten the postal tube end closure 10 to the postal tube 30.
Figures 6 to 10 show a postal tube stabilizer assembly 40 in accordance with another embodiment.
Referring to Figures 6 and 7, the postal tube end closure assembly 40 comprises a postal tube end closure part 42 and an anti roll part 44.
Like in the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 5, the anti roll part 44 has three effectively flat support surfaces, which prevent the postal tube from rolling.
Referring to Figures 6 and 7, the anti roll part 44 has an aperture 46. The postal tube end closure part 42 is a known part. Then, referring to Figures 8 to 10, the postal tube end closure part 42 is located through the aperture 46 in the anti roll part 44. The postal tube end closure part 42 is installed in an end of the postal tube 30. The anti roll part 44 is sandwiched between the postal tube end closure part 42 and an end of the postal tube 30.
Like in Figure 5, postal tube end closure assemblies 40 are installed in opposing ends of the postal tube 30.
An advantage of this embodiment is that it can be used with a known postal tube end closure part 42.
The postal tube end closure part 42 and the anti roll part 44 can be removed from the end of the postal tube 30 by pulling grip the anti roll part 44 in the vicinity of one of the first rounded comers, and pulling the postal tube end closure 42 away from the postal tube 30.
Figure 11 shows an alternative postal tube end closure device 60. The postal tube end closure 60 comprises a tubular part 68 and an anti roll part 63, oriented perpendicularly to the tubular part 68.
The postal tube end closure device 60 comprises three effectively flat support surfaces. For conciseness, only a first effectively flat support surface 62 is referenced. Each of the three effectively flat support surfaces 62 comprises a discontinuous surface. In particular, each of the three effectively flat support surfaces 62 comprises a first straight part 64 and a second straight part 66. Any point on the second straight part 66 is collinear with the first straight part 64 and vice versa. Each of the three effectively flat support surfaces 62 comprises a recess with respect to a hypothetical straight line joining the first straight part 64 and the second straight part 66 in its surface. It will be appreciated that this embodiment uses less material than the earlier embodiments, so it is lighter, where weight is an important feature in the postal industry. The postal tube end closure device 60 is shown as a one piece cap and anti roll part (like the embodiment disclosed in Figure 1) but it will be appreciated the postal tube end closure device can be a two piece cap and anti roll part (like the embodiment disclosed in Figure 6).
Figure 12 shows yet an alternative postal tube end closure device 80. The postal tube end closure 80 comprises a tubular part 88 and an anti roll part 81, oriented perpendicularly to the tubular part 68. The anti roll part 81 has three effectively flat support surfaces. For conciseness, only a first effectively flat support surface 82 is referenced. Each of the three effectively flat support surfaces 82 comprises a straight surface which runs almost from comer to corner. The postal tube end closure device 80 comprises three rounded corners 84. For conciseness, only a first rounded corner 84 is referenced. The postal tube end closure device 80 comprises three cavities 86, although any number of cavities can be employed. For conciseness, only a first cavity 86 is referenced. A perimeter 90 is defined by the three effectively flat support surfaces 82 and the three rounded corners 84. It will be appreciated that the cavities are bounded by material at the perimeter 86. It will be appreciated that, again, this embodiment uses less material than the earlier embodiments, so it is lighter, where weight is an important feature in the postal industry. Moreover, by using the straight support surfaces 82, the anti roll part 81 is more resistant to slippage. The postal tube end closure device 80 is shown as a one piece cap and anti roll part (like the embodiment disclosed in Figure 1) but it will be appreciated the postal tube end closure device can be a two piece cap and anti roll part (like the embodiment disclosed in Figure 6).
The postal tube end closure device 10, and the postal tube end closure assembly 40, are made from a pliable FDPE plastic material. In another embodiment, the anti roll part 44 can be made from HDPE plastic, for easier fitting of the anti roll part 44 onto end closure part 42.
The anti roll parts disclosed herein have three effectively flat support surfaces arranged in an approximately equilateral triangle shape. The Applicant has realised that arrangement has better anti roll properties than an anti roll part having four effectively flat support surfaces arranged in an approximately square shape.
