FR2824050A1 - Packaging for electrical cable ties, uses plastic envelope with tear-out section in long edge, which provides an opening to allow ties to be gripped in the middle and pulled out through the opening - Google Patents

Abstract

The packaging is in the form of a plastic envelope which houses a number of cable ties. A curved line of perforations (3b) along the long side of the envelope forms a tab (3c) which can be torn out to provide an opening in the side of the envelope which allows a tie to be gripped near its center and to be withdrawn through the opening, with the tie bending in the middle to allow it to emerge.

  PACKAGING FOR ELECTRICIAN NECKLACE.

  The invention relates to the technical sector of packaging and packaging and more particularly in the application of electrician collars. It is recalled beforehand that the electrician's collars (1) are established in the form of long strips of 5 to 50 centimeters. These bands are made of plastic and rigid, with a certain elasticity of deformation in the length. They have one end (la) with an anchoring (lb) and fixing zone extended by a middle part (lc), notched flat while 0 the final end (ld) of said collar is tapered to engage The area

  anchor (lb) constituted by a flange configuration.

  These electrical collars are generally packaged in very large numbers in quantities of 100 or 200, and accompany the operator on a site and are used to ensure the connection of the various electric cables and the like. According to the prior art, their packaging known is shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3. The electrician collars are generally inserted in a pocket (2) of plastic material, which after filling is the subject of a heat sealing operation (2 a) on the lateral sides making them inviolable and preventing access to the interior. Said access to the collars therefore requires that the

  pocket is open for example along the heat seal line.

  In practice, the plastic material constituting the pouch is rigid, and a cutting tool such as a chisel, knife, cutter is needed to tear the strip (2b) in order to extract a collar. This therefore requires the operator

2s to have a tool with him.

  It is also possible to tear said packaging empirically with the teeth in order to gain access to the interior thereof, and to remove the collars. This

  operation is not practical and unhygienic.

  In addition, and in both cases, an important problem lies in the fact that once the opening and cutting have been carried out, the various electrician collars may fall by gravity from their packaging. I1 is thus regularly observed a loss on site of part of said collars I1 is also possible, but not shown in the drawings to have

  cardboard packaging allowing the storage of these electrician necklaces.

  These packages then remain bulky and impractical to handle. In addition, these packages when stored require a large volume of shelf display in stores and therefore remain impractical. Based on these observations, the applicant's approach was therefore to move towards the design of a new packaging, of use or practical, which allows the preservation of electrician necklaces without loss while authorizing the removal one by one of said necklaces by the user within

best conditions.

  According to a first characteristic of the invention, the packaging filled with electrician's collars established in the form of a closed pocket is remarkable in that it has, from one of its faces and in the middle part, a pre-cut line surrounding an area profile intended to be entered by the user and then detached from the packaging by breaking the precut line by revealing an opening allowing manual entry and removal one by one of said collars of an electrician, after deformation

  temporary of these during extraction.

  These characteristics and others will become clear from the rest of the

description.

  To fix the object of the invention illustrated in a nonlimiting manner in the drawings, o: 2s À Figures 1, 2 and 3 are views showing a packaging in the form of a pouch according to the prior art in the different situations: initial presentation and total closure, Separation of the detachable part

Access to the collar.

  In Figure 4 is a view of a packaging of an electrician's collar

  according to the invention in its final and packaged presentation.

  In Figure 5 is a top view of the packaging according to the invention after removal of the detachable part allowing access to the interior

of said packaging.

  In Figure 6 is a view of said packaging with sampling and outlet

of an electrician's collar.

  s In FIG. 7 is an alternative view illustrating the detachable part in a

  another shape configuration and another place of packaging.

  In Figure 8 shows an electrician's collar in perspective view In order to make the object of the invention more concrete, it is now described

  0 in a limiting manner illustrated in the figures of the drawings.

  The packaging according to the invention is shown in a rectangular pocket, being made of plastic. This conditioning

  is referenced as a whole by (3). It can be square or other.

  I1 is produced according to lengths adapted to allow the storage of a large number of electrician's collars, a hundred for example. This packaging is carried out in the form of a pouch previously closed after filling, in a plastic material having a certain rigidity for

  avoid any accidental perforation.

  According to the invention, and in a first embodiment, one of the longitudinal edges (3a) in the middle part is produced with a pre-cut line (3b) which is advantageously curvilinear. This precut line defines a crescent shape (3c) detachable from the packaging to allow access to the interior of the latter as shown in FIG. 5, by

  simple pulling and tearing effect of the precut line.

  2s Advantageously, this crescent shape (3c) is established over a length of a few centimeters (3 to 6 for example) so as to reveal an opening for passage (O) of the electrician's clamps (1) by allowing their seized by their middle part (lc), then their removal by

  elastic deformation of said collar.

  There is thus shown in Figures 4, 5 and 6, this configuration where it can be seen that the end parts (la-ld) of said collar remain in abutment along the inner border (3a) of the pouch while moving by sliding as traction and elastic deformation of the collar during gripping

manual by the operator.

  Said realoe opening according to the invention thus makes it possible to extract without

no problem the necklaces.

  Another advantageous arrangement resides in the fact that said collars remain held inside the pocket because they cannot of themselves

  get out of it except by a manual traction effort by the operator.

  Said collars are in fact maintained by their ends in contact with the walls of the pocket on either side of said opening. There is therefore no

0 no risk of loss.

  In addition, the detachable part in the form of a crescent is very removable

  easily by tearing the precut line.

  Without departing from the scope of the invention, it is also possible to provide that the detachable part allowing access to the packaging is established on one of the front or rear walls of the packaging (FIG. 7). Said opening is also defined by a pre-cut line in ovoid, circular or

  another as shown in Figure 7 of the drawings.

  In this case also the electrician's clamps are perfectly maintained

  in position except intervention by the operator.

  Another advantage of the invention lies in the fact that the packaging can be carried out with in its upper part (3d) a strip (3e) having a cutout (3f) allowing the adjustment of the packaging on a spindle

  generally used in store shelves.

  The invention is therefore simple to carry out, extremely practical in 2s manipulation by the user without there being any risk of loss of products which have been packaged. I1 requires user intervention

  to ensure that necklaces are sampled according to their needs.

  It is also observed that the extraction of electrician collars is done by elasticity and deformation, these then resuming their initial shapes after extraction. s
