Abstract

In a two-part case for small electrical apparatus, in particular electric razors, each comprising a frame having, fitted therein, a dished top and bottom respectively and having depositing troughs for the objects to be accommodated in the case, the depositng troughs (5,6 and 7,8) are directly formed both in the top dish (3) and in the bottom dish (4), in such a way that the convex sides of the depositing troughs (5,6 and 7,8) project outwards beyond the frames (1 and 2, respectively). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein zweiteiliges Etui für elektrische Kleingeräte, insbesondere Trockenrasierapparate, mit je einem Rahmen mit darin angepaßtem schalenförmigen Deckel bzw. Boden und mit Ablagemulden für die im Etui unterzubringenden Gegenstände.The invention relates to a two-part case for small electrical appliances, in particular dry shavers, each with a frame with a bowl-shaped lid or bottom adapted therein and with storage troughs for the objects to be accommodated in the case.

Bei den bisher üblichen Etuis dieser Art ist für die Ablagemulden ein spezieller Einsatz, in der Regel eine formsteife Folie aus Kunststoff oder dergleichen vorgesehen, in den die Ablagemulden so eingeformt sind, daß sie das Gerät und die übrigen Gegenstände annähernd formschlüssig mindestens teilweise umschließen, damit sie auch beim Transport klappsicher gehalten sind. Diese Bauweise, bei der die beiden Funktionen "Abdecken" durch die Etuischalen und "Halten" durch den Muldeneinsatz von verschiedenen Bauteilen wahrgenommen werden, ist natürlich relativ aufwendig, und solche Etuis bauen relativ hoch.In the hitherto usual cases of this type, a special insert is provided for the storage trays, usually a dimensionally stable film made of plastic or the like, into which the storage trays are molded in such a way that they at least partially enclose the device and the other objects in an approximately form-fitting manner, so that they are held securely during transport. This design, in which the two functions of "covering" through the case trays and "holding" through the trough insert of different components, is of course relatively complex, and such cases are relatively tall.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Etui mit möglichst einfachem Aufbau und geringer Bauhöhe zu schaffen, das sich in einfacher Weise wirtschaftlich herstellen läßt.The object of the invention is to provide a case with the simplest possible structure and low overall height, which can be produced economically in a simple manner.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe sieht die Erfindung vor, daß die Ablagemulden sowohl in die Deckelschale als auch in die Bodenschale direkt eingeformt sind, derart, daß die kenvexen Seiten der Ablagemulden nach außen über die Rahmen überstehen.To achieve this object, the invention provides that the storage troughs both in the lid shell and in the Bottom shell are molded directly in such a way that the kenvexen sides of the storage trays protrude outwards beyond the frame.

Bei dem Etui gemäß der Erfindung fällt ein spezieller Muldeneinsatz weg, die Bauhöhe des gesamten Etuis beschränkt sich praktisch auf die Dicke der unterzubringenden Gegenstände zuzüglich der Wanddicken der Boden- und Deckelschale, und diese Gegenstände werden von beiden Schalen formschlüssig gehalten. Da die konvexen Seiten der Ablagemulden von außen sichtbar sind und somit das äußere Erscheinungsbild des Etuis prägen, kann man bei Etuis für unterschiedliche Geräte schon bei geschlossenem Etui auf dessen Inhalt und Anwendungszweck schließen, ohne daß sonstige Kennzeichnungen erforderlich wären.In the case according to the invention, a special trough insert is omitted, the overall height of the entire case is practically limited to the thickness of the objects to be accommodated plus the wall thicknesses of the base and lid shells, and these objects are held in a form-fitting manner by both shells. Since the convex sides of the storage troughs are visible from the outside and thus shape the external appearance of the case, one can infer for cases for different devices with the case closed even on its content and purpose, without any other labeling being necessary.

Zweckmäßig sind die Verschluß- und Scharnierelemente an den Rahmen angebracht.The locking and hinge elements are expediently attached to the frame.

Nach einer ersten vorteilhaften Variante der Erfindung können die Boden- und Deckelschalen spiegelbildlich ausgebildet sein.According to a first advantageous variant of the invention, the base and cover shells can be mirror images.

Dabei sind zwar zwei verschiedene Werkzeuge zur Herstellung der beiden Schalen erforderlich - was bei einer Serienfertigung keine große Rolle spielt - dafür ist man aber freizügiger in der Ausbildung der Ablagemulden und ihrer Anpassung an die aufzunehmenden Gegenstände.Although two different tools are required to manufacture the two shells - which does not play a major role in series production - one is, however, more revealing in the design of the storage troughs and their adaptation to the objects to be picked up.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Variante der Erfindung sieht eine deckungsgleiche Ausbildung der Boden- und Deckelschalen vor, die insbesondere für kleinere Stückzahlen von Vorteil ist, da nur ein einziges Werkzeug benötigt wird, um die Schalen und ggf. die Rahmen zu fertigen, in diesem Falle sind zweckmäßigerweise die Scharnier- und Verschlußelemente bei beiden Schalen in gleicher Weise ausgebildet und angeordnet, so daß aueh Nachrüst-Arbeitsgänge im wesentlichen entfallen.Another advantageous variant of the invention provides a congruent design of the base and cover shells, which is particularly advantageous for smaller quantities, since only a single tool is required to manufacture the shells and, if appropriate, the frames, in this case are expedient the hinge and closure elements in both shells are designed and arranged in the same way, so that retrofitting operations are essentially eliminated.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellt, und zwar zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 das Etui in Seitenansicht,
  • Fig. 2 einen Querschnitt durch das Etui,
  • Fig. 3 eine Ansicht der Innenseite des aufgeklappten Etuis nach einer ersten Variante in verkleinertem Maßstab,
  • Fig. 4 eine Ansicht der Innenseite des aufgeklappten Etuis nach einer zweiten Variante im gleichen Maßstab wie in Fig. 3.

Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, ist das Etui als zweiteiliges Klappetui aus Kunststoff ausgebildet. Jeder Teil besteht aus einem Rahmen 1 bzw. 2, in den je eine Deckelschale 3 und eine Bodenschale 4 eingesetzt und befestigt ist. In beide Schalen 3 bzw. Y sind Ablagemulden 5 und 6 bzw. 7 und 8 direkt eingeformt. Die Höhe der Rahmen 1 und 2 ist gegenüber der Tiefe der Ablagemulden 5 bis 8 so gewählt, daß die konvexen Seiten der Ablagemulden 5 bis 8 über die Rahmen 1 und 2 nach außen vorstehen (Fig. 1). Die Verschlußelemente 9 und 1o und die Scharnierelemente 11 und 12 sind an den Rahmen 1 und 2 in der Welse deckungsgleich angebracht, daß beide Rahmen in einem einzigen Werkzeug gefertigt werden können.An exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing, namely:
  • 1 the case in side view,
  • 2 shows a cross section through the case,
  • 3 is a view of the inside of the opened case according to a first variant on a reduced scale,
  • 4 shows a view of the inside of the opened case according to a second variant on the same scale as in FIG. 3.

As can be seen from Fig. 1, the case is designed as a two-part folding case made of plastic. Each part consists of a frame 1 or 2, in each of which a cover shell 3 and a base shell 4 are inserted and fastened. Storage trays 5 and 6 or 7 and 8 are formed directly in both shells 3 and Y, respectively. The height of the frames 1 and 2 is chosen relative to the depth of the storage troughs 5 to 8 so that the convex sides of the storage troughs 5 to 8 protrude beyond the frames 1 and 2 (FIG. 1). The closure elements 9 and 10 and the hinge elements 11 and 12 are congruently attached to the frames 1 and 2 in the catfish so that both frames can be manufactured in a single tool.

Wie Fig. 3 zeigt, können die Ablagemulden 5 und 7 bzw. 6 und 8 gemäß einer ersten Variante spiegelbildlich ausgebildet und angeorndet sein, sie können aber auch gemäß Fig. 4 nach einer zweiten Variante deckungsleich in den Schalen 3 und 4 eingeformt sein; diese Ablagemulden sind in Fig. 4 mit 6' und 8' bzw. 5' und 7' bezeichnet.As shown in FIG. 3, the storage troughs 5 and 7 or 6 and 8 can be designed and arranged in mirror image according to a first variant, but they can also be molded into the shells 3 and 4 according to FIG. 4 in a congruent manner; these storage troughs are designated in Fig. 4 with 6 'and 8' or 5 'and 7'.

Da auch, wie bereits gesagt, die Scharnierelemente 11 und 12 und die Verschlußelemente 9 und 10 an beiden Rahmen 1 und 2 deckungsgleich ausgebildet sind, können sowohl die Rahmen als auch die Deckel- und Bodenschalen mit ihren Ablagemulden aus einem einzigen Werkzeug gefertigt werden.Since, as already mentioned, the hinge elements 11 and 12 and the closure elements 9 and 10 on both frames 1 and 2 are congruent, both the frame and the cover and base shells with their storage trays can be made from a single tool.
