Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for packaging and dispensing similar elongated objects, in particular sticks filled with cotton wool at their two ends.
  • Padded sticks have been widely used for many years, especially for washing children. These sticks are, generally, presented in plastic boxes of parallelepiped or cylindrical shape whose storage in the bathrooms is not always the easiest.
  • a packaging and distribution device consisting of two coaxial cylinders movable in rotation relative to one another.
  • Each of these cylinders is provided with a vertical slit large enough for a user to pass their fingers through; when both notches are facing each other, it is therefore possible to grasp the sticks located inside the device.
  • This is a relatively sophisticated device, therefore expensive, which cannot be entirely satisfactory, given that, when there are no longer many rods inside the cylinders, these tend to lie down, and their grip is quite inconvenient and requires the use of both hands.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a device for packaging and dispensing similar elongated objects, in particular sticks filled with cotton wool at their two ends which is extremely simple and therefore inexpensive, and the use is very practical, even when there are not many sticks left.
  • the device which is the subject of the invention is characterized in that it consists of a parallelepipedic box provided with a removable cover, one side of which, in particular the short side, has a length corresponding to that of the elongated objects which '' it is intended to contain, parallel to each other, as well as a rigid receiving support comprising a receptacle for the open box or, if necessary, provided with its cover, a base and a slot for the passage of elongated objects , the box as well as the receiving support being provided with gripping members cooperating with each other to allow manual grasping, in particular between the thumb and the index finger, of the elongated objects located in the box placed in the receptacle for slide them out through the passage slot.
  • the passage slot of the rods is substantially horizontal, and therefore, as and when the box is empty, they fall in front of the slot under the effect of their gravity. So the sticks are as easy to grip when the box is almost empty as when it is full.
  • the material constituting the device which is the subject of the invention may be any; that used, in the general case, is a colored or transparent molded plastic material.
  • the receptacle of the reception support comprises a lower face or bearing face intended to receive a face or rest face of the box, as well as a front or gripping face carrying the passage slot elongated objects at its lower part, located at the level of the bearing face.
  • the passage slot for the rods is located at the bottom of the box placed in the support.
  • the base on which the support face of the receptacle rests can be arbitrary without departing from the scope of the invention, and can even, in certain cases, be constituted by the support face itself; however, in the general case, it is constituted by a tubular strip, in particular of rectangular section.
  • the gripping members consist, on the one hand, of a first notch provided on the rest face of the cabinet and, on the other hand, of a second notch of the same dimensions as the first and contiguous to the slot for the passage of elongated objects, provided on the support face of the receptacle as well as by a longitudinal notch provided on the front face of the receptacle, substantially perpendicular to the passage slot to the right of the second notch and extending on the base, the first and second notches corresponding when the box is placed in the receptacle to allow manual grasping of the elongated object between the thumb and forefinger, placed, for this purpose, in the notch on either side of the notches.
  • the notches are placed in the central part of the device, in order to be able to grip the sticks by their middle part without risking soiling their padded ends; this characteristic is very advantageous from the point of view of hygiene.
  • the notch extends over the entire length of the front face of the receptacle. This characteristic makes it possible to give the receptacle a certain elasticity which can favor the positioning of the box, in particular during transport, when it is still provided with its cover.
  • the bearing face of the receptacle extends outwardly beyond the passage slot by a flange for receiving the elongated objects, interrupted by the second notch.
  • the device according to the invention When in use, the device according to the invention can be simply placed on a flat support; it can also be hung on a vertical wall by means of a tab provided with an orifice provided for this purpose at its upper part, or also to be provided with, at its rear part, self-adhesive members allowing it to be fixed.
  • the invention also relates to a variant of the device which can be used for the distribution of sticks without having to remove the cover of the box.
  • the cover is provided with a rim on three of its sides, while the fourth, corresponding to the rest face of the box, is left free so as to allow the cover to slide on the box.
  • the device is provided, at its internal part, with stops capable, during the sliding of the cover, of keeping it above the passage slot.
  • These stops can be constituted by two angled beads provided on the lateral edges of the internal part of the gripping face of the receptacle.
  • stops may also be constituted by two lateral trapezoidal lugs located on the edges of the cover opposite its side not carrying a rim.
  • stops could have a different configuration without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the stops must be arranged so as to maintain the cover about two centimeters from the bearing face of the receptacle.
  • the device object of the invention consists of a box 1 as well as a rigid support 2 containing a receptacle 3 capable of allowing the box 1 to be introduced.
  • the box 1 is of rectangular shape, and is provided with a removable cover 4.
  • This box is intended to contain, parallel to each other, sticks 5 filled with cotton wool at their two ends, of which only two have been shown in the figure for the purpose of simplification.
  • These rods 5 are arranged along the short sides 6 1 , 6 2 of the box 1 which have a corresponding length.
  • the receptacle 3 of the receiving support 2 has a parallelepiped shape corresponding to that of the box 1, and its dimensions are chosen so as to be able to introduce the box 1 open, or if necessary, with its cover 4 .
  • This possibility is notably used for transport and. sale of the device.
  • the receptacle 3 of the support 2 has a lower face 7 or support face intended to receive a rest face 8 of the cabinet 1, as shown in Figure la.
  • This receptacle 3 also includes a front or gripping face 9 intended to correspond with the open face 10 (provided with the cover 4) of the full box 1.
  • This gripping face 9 is provided, at its lower part situated at the level of the bearing face 7, with a horizontal slot 11 allowing the passage of the sticks 5 as indicated in FIG.
  • the bearing face 7 rests, moreover, on a base 12 constituted by a tubular strip with rectangular section of shape corresponding to that of the receptacle 3.
  • the rest face 8 of the box 1 is provided with a first notch 13, coinciding, in the position shown on the figure 1a, with a second notch 14 of the same dimensions, provided on the bearing face 7 of the receptacle 3.
  • the second notch 14 is constiguated to the passage slot 11 of the rods 5 and is located approximately at the middle part of the latter.
  • the notches 13 and 14 cooperate with a longitudinal notch 15 provided on the front face 9 of the receptacle 3, substantially perpendicular to the passage slot 11, to the middle part of the latter.
  • the notch 15 extends beyond the passage slot 11 at the base 12.
  • the bearing face 7 of the receptacle 3 extends outwardly beyond the slot passage 11 by a flange 16 whose end 17 is raised.
  • the device also comprises, at its upper part, a hooking lug 18 provided with an orifice 19 allowing it to be hooked, in particular to a nail. Its rear face 20 may, pan elsewhere, be provided with self-adhesive members, not shown, allowing it to be fixed to a vertical wall.
  • the cover 4 is provided with a flange 40 on three of its sides, while the fourth 4 1 corresponding to the short side 6 1 and the rest face 8 of the box 1 is left free so allow the cover 4 to slide on the box 1, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the face 4 2 of the cover 4 opposite the face 4 1 could also be devoid of flange 40.
  • the gripping face 9 of the receptacle 3 is provided, at its internal part and on its lateral edges, with two angled beads 90 acting as a stop so to maintain, after sliding of the cover 4, its side 4, devoid of flanges 40 above the passage slot 11.
  • the distance d between the beads 90 and the bearing face 7 of the receptacle 3 is approxima equal to two centimeters.
  • this configuration has the advantage of allowing the introduction of the box with its cover, and therefore of avoiding any risk of overturning of the box 1 at the time of this introduction.
  • the cover 4 is provided, on the edges of its side 4 2 opposite the side 4 1 not carrying a rim 40, with two lateral lugs 91 of trapezoidal shape acting stops when the box 1 and the cover 4 slide inside the receptacle 3 as shown in dotted lines in FIG. 1b, for retaining the cover 4 above the passage slot 11 for the elongated objects 5.
  • the length d of the lateral pins 91 must be of the order of two centimeters.
