OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

La presente invención se refiere a un embalaje, de tipo novedoso y destinado a contener y proteger objetos de forma general alargada, incluso cilindrica, y similares. The present invention relates to a package, of the novel type and intended to contain and protect objects in a generally elongated, even cylindrical, and the like.

CAMPO DE LA INVENCIÓN FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Es el de la fabricación y la utilización de embalajes para la protección de objetos para los cuales se busca una seguridad e integridad, a la vez que una presentación conveniente, por ejemplo, botellas de vinos y licores de alta calidad, esculturas valiosas y objetos artísticos, etc. It is the manufacture and use of packaging for the protection of objects for which security and integrity are sought, as well as a convenient presentation, for example, bottles of high quality wines and spirits, valuable sculptures and artistic objects , etc.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Se conocen numerosos tipos de embalajes destinados a contener objetos delicados, en los que la protección se procura mediante elementos incorporados a los contenedores. La disposición de dichos elementos requiere en algunos casos la práctica de operaciones, como el inflado o el calenta-miento, que exigen el concurso de dispositivos funcionales más o menos costosos, lo cual incide sensiblemente en el coste de los embalajes. En otros casos, la complejidad de la estructura de los contenedores en cuestión hace que su acondicionamiento y empleo resulten poco prácticos. Numerous types of packaging are known to contain delicate objects, in which protection is sought through elements incorporated into the containers. The provision of these elements requires in some cases the practice of operations, such as inflation or heating, which require the use of more or less expensive functional devices, which significantly affects the cost of packaging. In other cases, the complexity of the structure of the containers in question makes their conditioning and use impractical.

Se hacía necesario, pues, contar con un embalaje que reúna las características de seguridad para la integridad del objeto contenido, presentación conveniente y facilidad de construción y utilización. It was therefore necessary to have a package that meets the security features for the integrity of the contained object, convenient presentation and ease of construction and use.

DESCRIPCIÓN DETALLADA DE LA INVENCIÓN DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Los elementos designados con números en los dibujos corresponden a las partes indicadas a continuación. El nuevo embalaje consta convencionalmente de dos piezas 1 y 2 sensiblemente idénticas y de forma semicilíndrica hueca, destinadas a definir en conjunto el espacio interno que alojará el objeto a proteger. The elements designated with numbers in the drawings correspond to the parts indicated below. The new packaging conventionally consists of two substantially identical pieces 1 and 2 and in a hollow semi-cylindrical shape, designed to define together the internal space that will house the object to be protected.

Sobre los bordes 3 de las piezas 1 y 2 se apoya un componente esencial del nuevo embalaje, constituido por un marco 4 (figura 2) formado a su vez por dos marcos rectangulares 10, iguales entre sí y de dimensiones equivalentes a la mitad de la dimensión total del marco 4. On the edges 3 of the pieces 1 and 2 an essential component of the new packaging is supported, constituted by a frame 4 (figure 2) formed in turn by two rectangular frames 10, equal to each other and of dimensions equivalent to half of the total dimension of the frame 4.

El marco 4 tiene sus dimensiones externas equivalentes a las de los bordes rectilíneos de las piezas semicilíndricas 1 y 2 y se destina a situarse encima de los propios bordes rectilíneos. Dada la coincidencia dimensional entre dichos elementos, el marco 4 puede colocarse en dos posiciones equivalentes sobre aquellos bordes. The frame 4 has its external dimensions equivalent to those of the rectilinear edges of the semi-cylindrical pieces 1 and 2 and is intended to be placed above the rectilinear edges themselves. Given the dimensional coincidence between said elements, the frame 4 can be placed in two equivalent positions on those edges.

Los lados de los marcos 10 presentan internamente unos rebordes 12 destinados a recibir y servir de apoyo y tope de unos marcos adicionales 6 (según la figura 3) que se insertarán y asentarán sobre dichos rebordes, sirviendo de retención para unas piezas 5 de un material laminar flexible, preferentemente elástico, previsto para quedar en contacto con el objeto a contener en el embalaje. The sides of the frames 10 internally have flanges 12 intended to receive and serve as a support and stop for additional frames 6 (according to Figure 3) that will be inserted and seated on said flanges, serving as retention for parts 5 of a material flexible sheet, preferably elastic, intended to be in contact with the object to be contained in the packaging.

Unas tiras de material 9 relacionan los marcos 10 por dos de los lados mayores de los mismos, y sirven de bisagras para la articulación de los marcos 10 y, en consecuencia, de las mitades 1 y 2 del embalaje. Strips of material 9 relate the frames 10 to two of the major sides thereof, and serve as hinges for the articulation of the frames 10 and, consequently, of halves 1 and 2 of the packaging.

Uno de los lados menores de cada marco 10 presenta una solapa 1 1 de forma semicircular o similar, de plano perpendicular al plano definido por el propio marco y que servirá para facilitar la disposición y montaje del embalaje. One of the minor sides of each frame 10 has a flap 1 1 of semicircular or similar shape, perpendicular to the plane defined by the frame itself and which will serve to facilitate the arrangement and assembly of the packaging.

El cierre y la apertura del embalaje se aseguran mediante unas lengüetas o pestañas 8 derivadas del lado mayor exterior de uno de los marcos 10 y conjugadas de unas entallas o aberturas 7 existentes en el lado mayor exterior del otro marco 10. The closure and opening of the packaging are secured by means of tabs or tabs 8 derived from the outermost side of one of the frames 10 and conjugated to notches or openings 7 existing on the outermost side of the other frame 10.

Los lados mayores exteriores de los marcos 10 presentan unos entrantes 13 destinados a permitir el paso de los elementos 8 a efectos de su inserción temporal en las entallas 7. VENTAJAS DEL OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN The major outer sides of the frames 10 have recesses 13 intended to allow the passage of the elements 8 for the purpose of their temporary insertion in the notches 7.
