Definitions

  • This invention relates to a case or holder for containing generally small articles, in general articles of elongate shape such as writing articles.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a case or holder for such articles which can be produced in a short time at low cost.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a case which is light and manageable, and able to retain its contents in an ordered manner.
  • a further object is to provide a case whose opening and closure, and access to its contents, are practical, simple and rapid.
  • the case (or holder) of the invention is produced starting from a single thin synthetic sheet of elongate shape which is subjected to thermoforming in order to obtain a generally flat profiled body comprising, in one piece, all the constituent elements of the case.
  • Said flat profiled body of elongate shape is divided into a first, second, third and fourth part which are defined by a first, second and third predetermined folding line.
  • said first part can be folded in the manner of a book against said second part and be securely fixed to it such as to form a containing pocket which is closed by the fourth part by folding it in the manner of a book about the third predetermined folding line and against the first part.
  • Mutual engagement means for example a snap-locking system, are preferably provided between said first part and said fourth part, which acts as the closure element or lid.
  • this enables the third part, after opening the lid, to be rotated to the side of the pocket to create an access region through which the user can remove articles from it and insert them into it.
  • the said third part lies transversely to the pocket to provide a resting foot which collaborates with the base of the pocket to dispose the case on a support surface in an inclined position and with the mouth of the pocket raised, so that the case can be used by the user for example as an article case for table use, and by the seller of the articles as a display case therefor.
  • Means are preferably provided to maintain the case stable in said inclined position of use.
  • FIGS. 1 and in particular Figure 1 show a generally flat body 5 of elongate shape which has been profiled by thermoforming starting from a generally thin sheet or strip of generally rigid flexible synthetic material.
  • a plastic material such as PVC has proved suitable, but there is nothing to prevent the use of another similar synthetic material.
  • the said plastic material can be transparent or not.
  • the thickness of the starting synthetic sheet is 0.3 mm, but this is of no significance.
  • thermoformed body 5 namely that visible in particular in Figures 1 and 2 is generally recessed, and correspondingly the opposite face is generally in relief, the first face being intended to provide the internal space of the case (see Figures 3 and 5), and the second face its outer surface (Figure 4).
  • said body presents a first 12, a second 23 and a third 34 predetermined transverse folding line which divide the body 5 into a first part 1, a second part 2, a third part 3 and a fourth part 4.
  • Said parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 have the same width (see Figure 2) but are generally of different length.
  • said parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 comprise a base wall 101, 102, 103 and 103 respectively, along the opposing longitudinal edges of which there are two lateral walls 111, 112, 113 and 114 respectively, the terminal edges respectively 121, 122, 123 and 124 of which are bent outwards at a right angle.
  • the parts 1 and 2 present respective transverse walls 10 and 11, in correspondence with the third predetermined folding line 34 the parts 3 and 4 being provided with similar transverse walls 31 and 32 (see Figures 1 and 2).
  • said second predetermined transverse folding line 23 comprises two opposing portions which are interrupted at a cut 66 shaped as a U with its concavity facing the transverse wall 11 of the second part 2.
  • Said cut 66 defines a connection plate 77 presenting two teeth 88 which are aligned in a direction transverse to the body 5, and project outwards from said connection plate ( Figure 5).
  • the free end portion of the base wall 101 of the first part 1 is also corrugated, the base wall 102 of the second part 2 presenting similar corrugations.
  • each lateral wall 114 of said fourth part 4 or lid there is provided a small projection 44 to snap-engage a matching recess 33 provided in the first part 1 of the body 5.
  • the fourth part 4 presents an internal profile which matches the external profile of the first part 1.
  • the part 1 is folded in the manner of a book against the part 2, with the free end of said part 1 extending beyond the second predetermined folding line 23 and the respective bent edges 121 and 122 mating ( Figures 4 and 5).
  • edges 121 and 122 are securely joined together, for example by bonding, by which the case is finished.
  • the parts 1, 2 and 3 provide a pocket for containing a group of articles of elongate shape, four in number in the illustrated example, for example writing articles, not shown for questions of simplicity and clarity. Said articles are in ordered arrangement as they are contained in respective housings provided by the corrugations present in said parts 1, 2 and 3, and by the respective lateral walls 111,112 and 113.
  • the fourth part 4 is folded in book manner against the first part 1, with simultaneous engagement of the projections 44 and recesses 33 (see Figure 7) and mating of the bent edges 124 and 121.
  • the third part 3 is rotated to the side of the pocket as shown in Figure 5, to completely free the pocket mouth.
  • the base of the pocket and the distant end of the third part 3 provide two resting regions which enable the case to be placed on a support surface in an inclined position with its mouth facing upwards.
  • the case can be used either as a table-top pen holder for a user, or as a display case for a seller of writing articles.
  • the said utilization configuration is made stable by the parts 3 and 4 which, after their closure in book manner as shown in Figure 5, are maintained in position by the teeth 88 against which the free transverse edge of the fourth part of lid 4 rests.
