Description

The invention relates to the field of production of special packaging, namely, the design of containers with liners of the cell type, designed for storage and transportation of ammunition for small arms.

The cell-type liners in various versions are used quite widely, for example, in the known method of packaging artillery small-caliber cartridges of unitary loading, the package design is viewed, including many cartridges stuffed into the links of the tape, which is folded in a spiral, the head and bottom of the cartridges are placed in the nests of the partitions, while the last link of the tape remains free. All this fits into a metal container with a sealed lid [Description of the invention to the RF Patent No. 2186333 of 03.22.2001, IPC7 F42B 39/26, publ. July 27, 2002].

The well-known packaging is distinguished by functionality and reliability, however, due to its complexity and bulkiness, it is practically not applicable for packaging and storage of small arms cartridges, excluding automatic weapons.

Cartridge liner solutions are reviewed in published industrial designs. It is known, for example, a variant solution of a cartridge pouch for hunting cartridges [Industrial design of the Russian Federation No. 43428 dated 10/14/1994, MKPO 09-03, publ. 05/16/1997]. The pouch is made in the form of a parallelepiped of a folding structure, the inner side of which consists of zones divided into a valve and walls. The walls on the inside are filled with rows of nests for cartridges made of rectangular strips and fastened together in the form of an “accordion”.

Since the packaging is intended for personal multiple use, the design solution of its cartridge insert is not applicable for mass use under small arms cartridges. In this case, you need a simple cheap disposable package with the same simple cheap disposable package.

Also known is the technical solution for blister packaging for small arms cartridges [Description of the utility model to the patent of the Russian Federation No. 25592 dated December ^6, 2001, IPC ⁷ F42B 39/20, publ. 10/10/2002]. The blister pack for small arms cartridges - a kind of insert, is made by molding from polymeric materials, contains cells for stacking and fixing cartridges, which are located in the interconnected lid and body. The location of the products in the lid and the housing allows you to achieve a sufficiently high packing density and economical packaging. The lid and the body with the products laid are connected to each other by means of a jumper between them, a slot and a button, which makes opening the package easier, and the sealing process by welding or gluing is simplified. Products placed in the cells of the lid and housing can be closed with a polymer film or foil. The utility model provides simplicity of design, effective moisture resistance and tightness of the package, which is very important for long-term storage of cartridges.

The disadvantage of this technical solution is the redundancy of functions associated with long-term storage of cartridges, while the blister pack can easily break on the jumper even before the cartridges are used in it, for example, during transportation. In addition, there are difficulties with the disposal of the polymeric materials of which the packaging is made. The decomposition in vivo of most polymers requires several tens or even hundreds of years.

The problem solved by the first invention of the group and the technical result achieved are to create a technologically advanced in the manufacture of a special liner with cells for packaging small arms cartridges, resistant to periodic mechanical stresses, spatially rigid, which is necessary for reliable fixation of cartridges, at least during transportation , and with the ability to fully utilize in vivo.

Additionally expanding the operational capabilities of the liner. It can be used as a means for wiping weapons, in particular, absorbing gun grease, and as a fuel for firing up, for example, a fire. The problem of recycling paper and pulp wastes is being solved.

To solve the task and achieve the claimed technical result, the insert with cells for packing cartridges contains two parts symmetrically relative to each other with front and back sides, while the cells of each part are made in the form of convex outward relative to the back side of the open rows of nests repeating with their profile at least part of the cartridge profile, between the rows of sockets there is a longitudinal stress concentrator, and parts of the liner are arranged to fold relative but a stress concentrator to contact with its back sides.

Besides:

- profiles of open rows of nests are made unidirectional;

- the stress concentrator between the rows of nests is made, at least in the form of scoring;

- the liner is made of molded paper pulp.

Technical solutions for cartridge packaging are not very diverse. This is especially characteristic in the publications of their art and design decisions, which sufficiently clearly illustrate the design features of the products.

For example, a number of packages for hunting cartridges are known [Industrial design of the Russian Federation No. 51847 of 09/19/2001, MKPO 09-03, publ. 02.16.2003; Industrial design of the Russian Federation No. 41199 dated 07/19/1993, MKPO 09-03, publ. 04/16/1995; Industrial design of the Russian Federation No. 41198 dated 05/26/1993, MKPO 09-03, publ. 04/16/1995], which are made in the form of a simple parallelepiped.

These packages attract the attention of potential consumers with the appearance design - the plot pattern and inscriptions on the front and (or) rear sides, however, such packages do not have any technological features.

Also known packaging cartridges for civilian small arms (two options) [Industrial design of the Russian Federation No. 48791 from 09/03/1999, MKPO 09-03, publ. 05/16/2001], which is characterized by a shape in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped, the manufacturing material is cardboard and the presence of additional packaging elements in the form of capsules for placing cartridges.

Each option has its own peculiarity: the first is different in the execution of capsules made of a polymer film, in which the cartridges are kept hermetically sealed, in the second version, the capsules are made of boxboard and have the form of drawers open on top, which are pulled out on both sides of the box. In both cases, the arrangement of cartridges is horizontal, in rows, with each cartridge in relation to the adjacent cartridge being oriented by bullets in opposite directions. The side walls of the box are made opening, without the possibility of their repeated closure.

In the first embodiment, the capsules are sealed by a polymer film, which better protects cartridges during storage and transportation, but practically, like most polymers, it is difficult to recycle. In the second version, the cartridges are not hermetically packed in a cardboard box, due to which during transportation they rub more intensively against each other, their top layer is destroyed and such cartridges can no longer be stored, but only urgently used for their intended purpose.

The revealed features of the known packaging options once again indicate the potential for its improvement.

The problem solved by the second invention of the group, and the technical result achieved, consist in the creation of special packaging for small arms cartridges that is technologically feasible in assembling, ensuring reliable fixation of the cartridges, at least during their transportation, and with the ability to be fully utilized in natural conditions.

Additionally expanding the operational capabilities of packaging. It can be used as fuel for igniting, for example, a fire, and its elements as a means for wiping weapons, in particular, absorbing gun grease.

To solve the problem and achieve the claimed technical result, the cartridge package contains a box with an internal cavity bounded by longitudinal and side walls, a lid and a bottom, in which there is an insert with cells made in accordance with the technical solution described above, while the front sides of the insert are made with the possibility of contacting with the longitudinal walls of the box, and the rear sides of the liner are made with the possibility of contacting each other. Additionally, the bottom and cover of the box are made valve.

The invention is illustrated by drawings, where:

figure 1 shows a General view of the liner with cells for packing cartridges - scan - view in plan;

figure 2 shows a section aa of figure 1 is a side view of the liner;

figure 3 is a section bB of figure 1;

figure 4 - section bb In figure 1;

figure 5 shows the packaging of cartridges in a top view without a cover;

6 shows a side view of the packaging of FIG. 5 without a side wall.

The insert 1 with cells 2 for packaging cartridges 3 contains two symmetrically located relative to each other parts 4 and 5 with front 6 and back 7 sides. Cells 2 of each part 4 and 5 are made in the form of convex outward relative to the back 7 sides of the open rows of sockets 8, which are repeated with their profiles 9, made unidirectional, at least part of the profile of the cartridge 3.

Between the rows of sockets 8, there is a longitudinal stress concentrator 10, made at least in the form of a creasing, and parts 4 and 5 of the insert 1 are made with the possibility of folding around the stress concentrator 10 before contact with its rear 7 sides.

The insert 1 is recommended to be made of molded paper pulp, known for its sorption properties, and its main purpose is to be placed in a special package of 11 cartridges 3, which contains a box 12 with an internal cavity 13, limited by longitudinal 14 and side 15 walls, cover 16 and bottom 17 made, for example, valve. The front 6 sides of the liner 1 can contact with the longitudinal 14 walls of the box 12, and the rear 7 sides of the liner 1 can contact each other.

We analyze the materiality of the features of inventions. The implementation of the liner of two symmetrical relative to each other parts that can be folded relative to a special hub, provides high adaptability as the design of the liner, for example, in the manufacture and storage of a large number of them, and products where the liner is included as an integral part, for example, in the implementation cartridge packaging assemblies.

Open rows of nests repeating with their profile at least part of the cartridge profile are necessary for their secure fit and fixation. In this state, the cartridges do not touch or rub against each other. Their relative movements are limited by the interior space of the box. This solves the problem of limiting the mutual contact of ammunition and violating the integrity of their protective coating during transportation, which is regulated by very stringent requirements.

Performing profiles of open rows of nests unidirectionally slightly increases the dimensions of the liner (and, accordingly, packaging), but allows you to equally orient cartridges in the box, for example, with the capsule up, which is very convenient when they are removed one by one.

Creasing between rows of nests allows (as compared to notching), not to change the strength characteristics of the liner and, first of all, its elastic properties when folding. In this case, the folded insert is similar to a spring, which selects the gaps between the cartridges and the longitudinal walls of the box. All of the above properties are fully ensured by the special material of the liner - molded paper pulp, although the use of other materials (plastics, metal, etc.) is not ruled out. Molded paper pulp has a number of undeniable advantages. It is “warm” in the cold, able to absorb oil, for example, from soiled objects, as well as moisture from cold hands. With a paper liner, especially if it is oiled, you can easily light a fire, etc. etc. The only drawback of the pulp is its hygroscopicity. For this reason, the packaging of cartridges should be stored in special sealed containers until they are used for their intended purpose.

It should be noted that the number of cartridges placed in the insert can be any, as a rule, it is ten pieces, but there can be more or less of them.

All the benefits of cartridge packaging are related to the special design of the liner used. For this reason, the packaging box contains the valve bottom and cover - as the most technologically advanced and cheapest to manufacture.

As mentioned above, the liners are molded from fibrous paper pulp obtained from recycling, for example, waste paper, printing waste, etc. and, thus, are quite cheap and technological in the manufacture and subsequent assembly.

The shape of the liner is easily adapted to the next caliber of the cartridge, for which it is enough to change the technological equipment in a vacuum installation.

Using inventions, consider the following example.

First, take the liner. The cartridges are laid in the nests - with the base of the sleeve - towards the hub. Due to the elastic properties of the material of the liner, the cartridges are securely fixed in it. After that, the liner is bent in half and inserted into the box in this form. The insert is located in the box folded in half by the stress concentrator up, the cartridges - by the bullet down, while parts of the insert diverge to the sides until the cartridges come in contact with the side walls of the box. The lid is closed and the resulting cartridge package is placed, for example, in a special cartridge box.

The next time you open the lid of the box in the reach zone, the bases of the cartridge cases are stationary, making it easy to take out several pieces at a time or at once, transfer them, if necessary, to a pouch or load weapons with them. Given that the ammunition in the delivery state is coated with a special varnish, it is likely that they will slip out of hand. The packaging and liner described above reduce this probability to a minimum.

In some cases, the liner can be used as a standalone product. For example, ammunition placed in an insert can be given to athletes at a shooting range or at a shooting range. Especially clearly the advantage of such a decision athletes can appreciate in extreme cold or extreme heat.

Disposal of packaging in general and in particular the liner is not difficult. These products are disposed of naturally without harming the environment. For example, after several blotches, for example from rain, the packaging and, first of all, the liner easily decompose to cellulose, which decomposes in the soil to the level of humus.

As a result of the use of the inventions, a compact, simple, cheap and environmentally friendly packaging for cartridges was created, containing a special liner with enhanced operational capabilities, technological in manufacturing and providing comfortable conditions for its use, the range of printing products obtained using standard printing equipment is expanding, and waste from the main production is also reused.
