Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of packaging. It relates, more particularly, to suspension packaging for a portable object such as a timepiece, piece of jewelry, electronics (for example a cell phone) or the like.
- the document DE202019105255U describes a suspension package having a simple construction.
- This packaging comprises a cardboard support element to which a sheet of elastic paper is glued, on a first surface, via two lines of glue provided along the edges of the elastic paper.
- the supporting element is provided with two fold lines which extend parallel to the glue lines and are located between the latter.
- An object is placed on the surface of the carrier member between the glue lines and below the elastic paper, and then the carrier member is folded along the folding lines so as to bend the carrier member in one direction opposite to elastic paper. In doing so, the latter is stretched and serves to support the object against the supporting element and thus to suspend the object.
- Additional folding lines which are orthogonal to those already mentioned, can also be provided in order to better support the object in the other direction.
- the assembly can subsequently be placed in a cardboard box or similar for storage and/or shipping.
- this arrangement can be improved in terms of the protection given to the object when the packaging is placed in a box, and is not at all suitable for being placed on a surface to present the object, which must therefore necessarily be removed from the packaging and placed on an ad hoc support.
- the aim of the invention is therefore to propose a suspension packaging in which the aforementioned defects are at least partially overcome.
- said first section, said second section and said third section are shaped such that, by fixing the end of said second section to the end of the third section by ad hoc means (for example by a clip, adhesive tape, glue, Velcro or the like), said packaging adopts a prismatic configuration with a triangular section.
- ad hoc means for example by a clip, adhesive tape, glue, Velcro or the like
- the packaging is self-supporting in its service state, and can be used to present the object in a window, on a counter or the like.
- the configuration of the packaging, in its operating state can be placed in a box made of cardboard, plastic, metal or similar, sized such that the first section fits on a diagonal of the box, which allows the object to be stored and/or shipped in such a way that it is well protected from impacts, etc.
- To present an object stored in this way simply remove the packaging from the box and place it on a surface, without any need to remove it from the packaging.
- said supporting element also comprises a pair of oblique folding lines each extending from a respective starting point located on the respective lateral edge of said third section to a respective cutout made in the respective edge of said second section, said lines oblique folding paths approaching each other in the direction of said second section.
- the oblique folding lines define triangular side wings, which allow the user to fold these side wings towards each other when the supporting element is flat. The elastic film is thus released, which facilitates insertion of the object. Since the oblique fold lines extend into the second and third sections, when the package is folded into its service state, the first and second fold lines lock the side wings in position while preventing folding along the sides. oblique fold lines.
- said elastic film extends between said starting points and said cutouts.
- each of said respective cutouts has a triangular shape.
- the packaging further comprises a fixing tab connected to a first of said second section and said third section via a third folding line extending orthogonally to said main axis, said fixing tab being arranged to be attached to a second of said second section and said third section, for example by means of glue, adhesive tape, Velcro, a rivet or the like.
- said elastic film takes the form of a tubular sleeve, which can be glued to a first face of said supporting element.
- said carrying element can simply be located inside of said elastic film in the form of a tubular sleeve, which avoids any use of glue or the like.
- said first section comprises a plurality of cutouts radiating from a common point as well as a plurality of additional fold lines connecting the ends of the adjacent cutouts.
- the flexibility thus given to the area of the first section delimited by the additional folding lines serves as a seat for the object, improving its retention in position.
- This is particularly advantageous in combination with an elastic film in the form of a cover glued to the first surface of the carrier element.
- the invention also relates to an assembly comprising packaging, as defined above, as well as a box shaped such that, when said packaging is in its operating state and is placed in said box, the first section of said element carrier fits on a diagonal of said box.
- THE figures 1 to 4 illustrate a packaging 1 according to the invention, which comprises a carrier element 3, made of cardboard, a plastic plate or the like, extending along a main axis A.
- the material chosen for the carrier element has sufficient stiffness and mechanical resistance to support a desired object, such as a watch, a piece of jewelry, a piece of jewelry, a piece of electronics (such as a cell phone, Smartwatch, etc.) or the like, but other objects are of course possible, in particular products with high added value and/or fragile products.
- An elastic film 7 is mounted on the carrier element 3 in order to support the object 5 against the carrier element 3, and is made of elastic paper, polyethylene, polyurethane or the like.
- the elastic film 7 takes the form of a tubular sleeve, which is laid flat and is glued by means of lines of glue 9 around its periphery on a first face of the supporting element 3 (that visible on the figure 1 , which is the front face intended to be visible in the service position), the width of the sleeve 7 being equal to or less than that of the carrying element.
- One of the ends of the tubular sleeve can be closed, the other being open in order to allow the introduction of the object 5, but it is also possible for both ends to be open.
- a particular advantage of this configuration is that any contact between the object 5 and the carrier element 3 can be avoided.
- the carrier element can be inserted into an elastic film 7 in the form of a sleeve, the internal width of the latter being preferably chosen to correspond substantially to the width of the carrier element 3, so that, in the state of the figure 1 , film 7 is slightly stretched.
- the sleeve may be shorter than the carrying element 3, or alternatively may be longer than the carrying element 3.
- it can be hermetically closed at its two ends after introduction of the object 5, in order to protect it from the atmosphere.
- the figure 5c illustrates a variant in which the elastic film 7 is a simple film having a width equal to or less than that of the supporting element 3, and is stuck to said first face of the latter at least along its edges which are parallel to the main axis A, leaving at least one of the other edges free in order to allow the insertion of the object 5.
- FIG. 5d illustrates a variant with a simple elastic film 7, the latter having a width greater than that of the carrying element 3.
- the edges of the elastic film 7, which are parallel to the main axis A, are folded around the supporting element 3 and glued on its second face by means of glue lines 9 extending parallel to said axis A.
- Each of the folding lines 11a, 11b is defined by a continuous or interrupted line, stamped or engraved, in order to thin the material of the supporting element 3 at the corresponding locations, and is located below the elastic film 7, for reasons which will appear below.
- the fold lines 11a, 11b can be formed by lines of perforations or embossed dots.
- the packaging 1 by folding the packaging 1 along the folding lines 11a, 11b, in a direction against said first surface, it can adopt a prismatic configuration with a triangular section, called "service state", as illustrate the figures 3 And 4 .
- the third section 3b acts as a foot
- the second section 3b acts as a rear wall
- the first section 3a is positioned obliquely to the vertical, the object 5 thus being presented to an observer through the elastic film 7, which is preferably substantially transparent for this purpose.
- the angle of the rear wall 3b relative to the first section 3a can be chosen ad hoc according to needs.
- the triangular section of the prismatic shape can be isosceles, at right angles (in which case the rear wall 3b is typically vertical when the packaging is placed on a horizontal surface on its foot 3c) or irregular.
- the third section 3c can act as a foot and the second section 3b can constitute the rear wall of the packaging 1 in the service position.
- the packaging 1 can be placed in its operating state inside a box 19 made of cardboard, plastic, metal or the like, shaped in such a way that the first section 3a fits with clearance along a diagonal of the box 19, which protects the object 5 during shipping and/or storage.
- a box 19 made of cardboard, plastic, metal or the like, shaped in such a way that the first section 3a fits with clearance along a diagonal of the box 19, which protects the object 5 during shipping and/or storage.
- a fixing tab 3d is provided, connected to the third section 3c of the supporting element 3 and separated from the latter by a third folding line 11c.
- This 3d fixing tab can be attached to the free end of the second section 3b via a fixing means such as glue, double-sided adhesive tape, a Velcro fastener, one or more rivets, a clip or similar.
- the fixing tab 3d can be provided connected to the second section 3b instead of the third 3c, in which case it is fixed to the latter by said fixing means.
- the 3d fixing tab may be omitted, and an ad hoc clip, adhesive tape or the like may be used to attach the free ends of the supporting member to each other.
- the packaging 1 is thus self-supporting.
- the supporting element 3 of the illustrated embodiment also comprises two oblique folding lines 13a, 13b, arranged symmetrically with respect to the main axis A, and extending from respective starting points 12a, 12b located on the outer edges of the third section and ending at the edges of a pair of cutouts 15a, 15b provided in the respective side edges of the second section 3b.
- the oblique folding lines 13a, 13b approach towards the cutouts 15a, 15b.
- the cutouts are triangular, but they can take other shapes, for example simple slots formed by cutting the material of the supporting element 3.
- the angle made between the extension of the two fold lines obliques 13a, 13b vary according to the dimensions of the carrying element 3 and the object 5, but is preferably between 5° and 45°, more preferably between 10° and 25°, more preferably between 10° and 15° °.
- the starting points 12a, 12b of the oblique folding lines 13a, 13b in the third section 3c may correspond to the end of the elastic film 7, but this is not obligatory.
- the distance between said starting points and the second folding line 13b can be substantially equal to that between said edges of the cutouts 15a, 15b and the first folding line 11a, but this is not obligatory either, the skilled person can arrange the fold lines as well as the extent of the elastic film 7 according to his needs.
- two side wings 15a, 15b are defined.
- the tension of the film 7 is released, in order to facilitate the insertion of the object between the latter and the supporting element, see the figure 2 .
- the carrying element 5 is a tubular sleeve, it is of course open at its end located near the cutouts 15a, 15b (that is to say in the second section 3b) to allow the insertion of the object 5, and may or may not be closed at its end located near the starting points 12a, 12b (that is to say in the third section 3c).
- the carrier element 5 is a simple film, it is not glued at its end located near the cutouts 15a, 15b (that is to say in the second section 3b) to allow the insertion of the object 5, and may or may not be stuck to the supporting element at its end located near the starting points 12a, 12b (that is to say in the third section 3c).
- packaging 1 can be brought into its operating state. Since the oblique folding lines 13a, 13b extend into the second and third sections 3b, 3c, when the packaging 1 is folded in its service state, the folding lines 11a, 11b block the side wings 15a, 15b in preventing any folding along the oblique folding lines 13a, 13b. Of course, it is possible to reverse the arrangement of the oblique folding lines 13a, 13b, such that they approach towards the third section 3c.
- the first section can be provided with a plurality of cutouts 21 arranged in a star shape radiating from a common point 21a, the outer ends of the cutouts 21 (i.e. the ends distant from the common point 21a) being connected by additional folding lines 23 which together define a polygonal shape, each folding line 23 connecting the outer ends of two adjacent cutouts 21.
- the shape of this polygon can, of course, be adapted to that of the object, and therefore does not have to be regular.
- the supporting element 3 can be provided with an ad hoc coloring or marking used to indicate to the user the correct folding direction to put the packaging in its operating state.

La présente invention se rapporte au domaine des emballages. Elle concerne, plus particulièrement, un emballage à suspension pour un objet portable tel qu'une pièce d'horlogerie, de bijouterie, de joaillerie, d'électronique (par exemple un téléphone portable) ou similaire.The present invention relates to the field of packaging. It relates, more particularly, to suspension packaging for a portable object such as a timepiece, piece of jewelry, electronics (for example a cell phone) or the like.
Le document
Cependant, cet agencement peut être amélioré au niveau de la protection conférée à l'objet lorsque l'emballage est placé dans une boite, et n'est pas du tout apte à être posé sur une surface pour présenter l'objet, qui doit donc forcément être enlevé de l'emballage et posé sur un support ad hoc.However, this arrangement can be improved in terms of the protection given to the object when the packaging is placed in a box, and is not at all suitable for being placed on a surface to present the object, which must therefore necessarily be removed from the packaging and placed on an ad hoc support.

Le but de l'invention est par conséquent de proposer un emballage à suspension dans lequel les défauts susmentionnés sont au moins partiellement surmontés.The aim of the invention is therefore to propose a suspension packaging in which the aforementioned defects are at least partially overcome.
De façon plus précise, l'invention concerne un emballage comme défini par la revendication 1. Cet emballage comprend :
- un élément porteur, par exemple en carton ou en matière plastique, s'étendant le long d'un axe principal et muni d'une première et d'une deuxième lignes de pliage s'étendant orthogonalement audit axe principal afin de définir une première section, une deuxième section et une troisième section, les deuxième et troisième sections étant agencées de part et d'autre de ladite première section, considérée le long de l'axe principal. En d'autres termes, les deux lignes de pliage définissent une séquence de sections dont la première se trouve entre la deuxième et la troisième ;
- une pellicule élastique, par exemple en polyéthylène, polyuréthane, papier élastique ou similaire, montée sur ledit élément porteur de telle sorte à s'étendre sur la première section, sur au moins une partie de ladite deuxième section ainsi que sur au moins une partie de ladite troisième section, ladite pellicule élastique étant agencée pour soutenir un objet tel qu'une montre, une pièce de joaillerie, une pièce de bijouterie, une pièce d'électronique tel qu'un téléphone portable ou similaire, contre ledit élément porteur lorsque ce dernier est plié le long de ladite première et ladite deuxième lignes de pliage selon une direction opposée audit objet.
- a supporting element, for example made of cardboard or plastic, extending along a main axis and provided with a first and a second folding lines extending orthogonally to said main axis in order to define a first section , a second section and a third section, the second and third sections being arranged on either side of said first section, considered along the main axis. In other words, the two fold lines define a sequence of sections, the first of which is between the second and the third;
- an elastic film, for example made of polyethylene, polyurethane, elastic paper or the like, mounted on said supporting element so as to extend over the first section, over at least part of said second section as well as over at least part of said third section, said elastic film being arranged to support an object such as a watch, a piece of jewelry, a piece of jewelry, a piece of electronics such as a mobile telephone or the like, against said carrying element when the latter is folded along said first and said second fold lines in a direction opposite to said object.
Selon l'invention, ladite première section, ladite deuxième section et ladite troisième section sont conformées de telle sorte que, en fixant l'extrémité de ladite deuxième section à l'extrémité de la troisième section par des moyens ad hoc (par exemple par un clip, du ruban adhésif, de la colle, du velcro ou similaire), ledit emballage adopte une configuration prismatique à section triangulaire.According to the invention, said first section, said second section and said third section are shaped such that, by fixing the end of said second section to the end of the third section by ad hoc means (for example by a clip, adhesive tape, glue, Velcro or the like), said packaging adopts a prismatic configuration with a triangular section.
Par ces moyens, l'emballage est autoporteur dans son état de service, et peut être utilisé pour présenter l'objet dans une vitrine, sur un comptoir ou similaire. Pour le surplus, la configuration de l'emballage, dans son état de service, peut être placé dans une boite en carton, matière plastique, métal ou similaire, dimensionné de telle sorte que la première section rentre sur une diagonale de la boite, ce qui permet de stocker et/ou d'expédier l'objet de telle sorte qu'il soit bien protégé d'impacts etc. Pour présenter un objet ainsi stocké, il suffit d'enlever l'emballage de la boite et le poser sur une surface, sans aucune nécessité de le sortir de l'emballage.By these means, the packaging is self-supporting in its service state, and can be used to present the object in a window, on a counter or the like. For the remainder, the configuration of the packaging, in its operating state, can be placed in a box made of cardboard, plastic, metal or similar, sized such that the first section fits on a diagonal of the box, which allows the object to be stored and/or shipped in such a way that it is well protected from impacts, etc. To present an object stored in this way, simply remove the packaging from the box and place it on a surface, without any need to remove it from the packaging.
Avantageusement, ledit élément porteur comprend également une paire de lignes de pliage obliques s'étendant chacune depuis un point de départ respectif situé sur le bord latéral respectif de ladite troisième section à une découpe respective pratiquée dans le bord respectif de ladite deuxième section, lesdites lignes de pliage obliques se rapprochant l'une de l'autre en direction de ladite deuxième section. Ce faisant, les lignes de pliage obliques définissent des ailes latérales triangulaires, qui permettent à l'utilisateur de replier ces ailes latérales l'une vers l'autre lorsque l'élément porteur est à plat. La pellicule élastique est ainsi relâchée, ce qui facilite l'insertion de l'objet. Puisque les lignes de pliage obliques s'étendent dans les deuxième et troisièmes sections, lorsque l'emballage est replié pour adopter son état de service, les première et deuxième lignes de pliage bloquent les ailes latérales en position tout en empêchant tout pliage le long des lignes de pliage obliques.Advantageously, said supporting element also comprises a pair of oblique folding lines each extending from a respective starting point located on the respective lateral edge of said third section to a respective cutout made in the respective edge of said second section, said lines oblique folding paths approaching each other in the direction of said second section. In doing so, the oblique folding lines define triangular side wings, which allow the user to fold these side wings towards each other when the supporting element is flat. The elastic film is thus released, which facilitates insertion of the object. Since the oblique fold lines extend into the second and third sections, when the package is folded into its service state, the first and second fold lines lock the side wings in position while preventing folding along the sides. oblique fold lines.
Avantageusement, ladite pellicule élastique s'étend entre lesdits points de départ et lesdites découpes.Advantageously, said elastic film extends between said starting points and said cutouts.
Avantageusement, chacune desdites découpes respectives présente une forme triangulaire.Advantageously, each of said respective cutouts has a triangular shape.
Avantageusement, l'emballage comprend en outre une patte de fixation reliée à une première de ladite deuxième section et ladite troisième section par l'intermédiaire d'une troisième ligne de pliage s'étendant orthogonalement audit axe principal, ladite patte de fixation étant agencée pour être fixée à une deuxième de ladite deuxième section et ladite troisième section, par exemple par l'intermédiaire de colle, de ruban adhésif, de velcro, d'un rivet ou similaire.Advantageously, the packaging further comprises a fixing tab connected to a first of said second section and said third section via a third folding line extending orthogonally to said main axis, said fixing tab being arranged to be attached to a second of said second section and said third section, for example by means of glue, adhesive tape, Velcro, a rivet or the like.
Avantageusement, ladite pellicule élastique prend la forme d'une fourre tubulaire, qui peut être collée à une première face dudit élément porteur. Alternativement, ledit élément porteur peut simplement se trouver à l'intérieur de ladite pellicule élastique en forme de fourre tubulaire, ce qui évite toute utilisation de colle ou similaire.Advantageously, said elastic film takes the form of a tubular sleeve, which can be glued to a first face of said supporting element. Alternatively, said carrying element can simply be located inside of said elastic film in the form of a tubular sleeve, which avoids any use of glue or the like.
Avantageusement, ladite première section comporte une pluralité de découpes rayonnant d'un point commun ainsi qu'une pluralité de lignes de pliages supplémentaires reliant les extrémités des découpes adjacentes. Ce faisant, la flexibilité ainsi conférée à la zone de la première section délimitée par les lignes de pliage supplémentaires sert en tant que siège pour l'objet, améliorant son maintien en position. Ceci est particulièrement avantageux en combinaison avec une pellicule élastique sous forme de fourre collée à la première surface de l'élément porteur.Advantageously, said first section comprises a plurality of cutouts radiating from a common point as well as a plurality of additional fold lines connecting the ends of the adjacent cutouts. In doing so, the flexibility thus given to the area of the first section delimited by the additional folding lines serves as a seat for the object, improving its retention in position. This is particularly advantageous in combination with an elastic film in the form of a cover glued to the first surface of the carrier element.
L'invention porte également sur un ensemble comprenant un emballage, comme défini ci-dessus, ainsi qu'une boite conformé de telle sorte que, lorsque ledit emballage est dans son état de service et est placé dans ladite boite, la première section dudit élément porteur rentre sur une diagonale de ladite boite.The invention also relates to an assembly comprising packaging, as defined above, as well as a box shaped such that, when said packaging is in its operating state and is placed in said box, the first section of said element carrier fits on a diagonal of said box.

Chacun des lignes de pliage 11a, 11b est définie par une ligne continue ou interrompue, estampée ou gravée, afin d'amincir le matériau de l'élément porteur 3 aux endroits correspondants, et se trouve en dessous de la pellicule élastique 7, pour des raisons qui apparaîtront ci-dessous. Alternativement, les lignes de pliage 11a, 11b peuvent être formées par des lignes de perforations ou de points embossés.Each of the
Par ces moyens, en pliant l'emballage 1 le long des lignes de pliage 11a, 11b, dans une direction à l'encontre de ladite première surface, il peut adopter une configuration prismatique à section triangulaire, dite « état de service », comme illustrent les
Pour le surplus, et comme illustre la
Afin de maintenir l'emballage 1 dans son état de service, divers moyens peuvent être prévus. Dans la variante illustrée, une patte de fixation 3d est prévue, reliée à la troisième section 3c de l'élément porteur 3 et séparée de cette dernière par une troisième ligne de pliage 11c. Cette patte de fixation 3d peut être attachée à l'extrémité libre de la deuxième section 3b par l'intermédiaire d'un moyen de fixation tel que de la colle, du ruban adhésif double-face, une fermeture velcro, un ou plusieurs rivets, un clip ou similaire.In order to maintain
Cependant, d'autres configurations sont possibles. Par exemple la patte de fixation 3d peut être prévue reliée à la deuxième section 3b au lieu de la troisième 3c, dans lequel cas elle est fixée à cette dernière par ledit moyen de fixation.However, other configurations are possible. For example the
Encore alternativement, la patte de fixation 3d peut être omise, et un clip ad hoc, du ruban adhésif ou similaire peut être utilisé pour rattacher les extrémités libres de l'élément porteur l'un à l'autre.Still alternatively, the 3d fixing tab may be omitted, and an ad hoc clip, adhesive tape or the like may be used to attach the free ends of the supporting member to each other.
Lorsque les extrémités libres de la deuxième 3b et troisième 3c sections sont attachées l'une à l'autre, l'emballage 1 est ainsi autoporteur.When the free ends of the second 3b and third 3c sections are attached to each other, the
De manière avantageuse, l'élément porteur 3 du mode de réalisation illustré comporte également deux lignes de pliage obliques 13a, 13b, agencées symétriquement par rapport à l'axe principal A, et s'étendant depuis des points de départ respectives 12a, 12b situés sur les bords extérieurs de la troisième section et se terminant aux arêtes d'une paire de découpes 15a, 15b prévues dans les bords latéraux respectifs de la deuxième section 3b. À cet effet, les lignes de pliage obliques 13a, 13b se rapprochent en direction des découpes 15a, 15b. Dans le mode de réalisation illustrée, les découpes sont triangulaires, mais elles peuvent prendre d'autres formes, par exemple des fentes simples formées en coupant le matériau de l'élément porteur 3. L'angle fait entre le prolongement des deux lignes de pliage obliques 13a, 13b varie selon les dimensions de l'élément porteur 3 et de l'objet 5, mais est de préférence entre 5° et 45°, encore de préférence entre 10° et 25°, encore de préférence entre 10° et 15°.Advantageously, the supporting
Les points de départ 12a, 12b des lignes de pliage obliques 13a, 13b dans la troisième section 3c peuvent correspondre à l'extrémité de la pellicule élastique 7, mais ceci n'est pas obligatoire. Pour le surplus, la distance entre lesdits points de départ et la deuxième ligne de pliage 13b peut être substantiellement égale à celle entre lesdites arêtes des découpes 15a, 15b et la première ligne de pliage 11a, mais ceci n'est pas obligatoire non plus, l'homme du métier pouvant agencer les lignes de pliage ainsi que l'étendue de la pellicule élastique 7 selon ses besoins.The
Grâce aux lignes de pliage obliques 13a, 13b, deux ailes latérales 15a, 15b sont définies. En repliant ces deux ailes 15a, 15b vers le haut, c'est-à-dire pour rendre la première face de l'élément porteur 3 concave, la tension de la pellicule 7 est relâchée, afin de faciliter l'insertion de l'objet entre cette dernière et l'élément porteur, voir la
Par la suite, en remettant les ailes latérales 15a, 15b à plat et repliant l'élément porteur 3 le long de la première et deuxième lignes de pliage 11a, 11b dans le sens de la deuxième face de l'élément porteur 3 (c'est-à-dire vers le bas sur les
Afin de mieux soutenir et positionner l'objet 5, la première section peut être munie d'une pluralité de découpes 21 agencées en étoile rayonnant d'un point commun 21a, les extrémités extérieures des découpes 21 (c'est-à-dire les extrémités éloignées du point commun 21a) étant reliées par des lignes de pliage supplémentaires 23 qui définissent ensemble une forme polygonale, chaque ligne de pliage 23 reliant les extrémités extérieures de deux découpes 21 adjacentes. La forme de cette polygone peut, bien entendu, être adaptée à celle de l'objet, et ne doit donc pas être régulière. De cette manière, lorsque l'objet 5 est positionné sur cet agencement de découpes 21 et l'emballage 1 est amené dans son état de service (
Finalement, l'élément porteur 3 peut être muni d'une coloration ou d'un marquage ad hoc servant à indiquer à l'utilisateur le bon sens de pliage pour mettre l'emballage dans son état de service.Finally, the supporting
Bien que l'invention ait été précédemment décrite en lien avec des modes de réalisations spécifiques, d'autres variantes supplémentaires sont également envisageables sans sortir de la portée de l'invention comme définie par les revendications.Although the invention has been previously described in connection with specific embodiments, other additional variants are also possible without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
