BRIEF SUMMARY
This application is a 371 of PCT/EP94/04256 filed Dec. 21, 1994.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to packaging for rod-shaped parts, for example screws, bolts, nails, pins or similar articles, in the form of a strip-shaped carrier element, in which the parts can be held parallel to one another and aligned in a row.
2. Description of the Related Art
A number of magazining strips for bolt-shaped attachment elements have already become known (e.g. DE-C-28 07 486, EP-B-320 186, DE-U-76 39 013). In all these magazining or screw strips, the important thing is to hold attachment elements parallel to one another and aligned in a row, and to feed them to a screw-in device in this form. In the screw-in device, the attachment element is then removed from the magazining strip by being turned into the substratum, and by at least partial destruction of the magazining strip. Such magazining strips therefore not only form the packaging elements, but are also needed as a holder for the screws until just before these are processed in a screw-in device. These screws are also held stable in the magazining strip and cannot be easily removed from it, unless sufficient force is exerted.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention has set itself the task of creating a packaging of the type stated initially, which serves only as a means for orderly transport and for introduction into a corresponding magazine, but which can be easily removed from the held, rod-shaped parts.
According to the invention, this is possible in that the carrier element consists of a holder strip with a plurality of holder openings, indentations, slits, nubs or similar holders to hold the rod-shaped parts aligned parallel to one another, and of a cover strip which covers the region of the rod-shaped parts which lies opposite the holder strip, over part of their length, and which is connected with the holder strip so that it can be torn off, separated, i.e. removed from it.
In this way, a true packaging for rod-shaped parts has been created with a simple design; after the rod-shaped parts have been introduced into a corresponding magazine or a corresponding holder, it can be removed, without the possibility of waste from this packaging falling from this packaging into a processing device or similar equipment.
With such packaging, the rod-shaped parts can be held in orderly manner for the transport segment, in simple manner. Orderly introduction into a corresponding magazine or a processing device is also guaranteed, since the rod-shaped parts can continue to be held aligned. In other words, it is not necessary to individually introduce or individually thread the rod-shaped parts into a processing device, as is the case when they are packaged in conventional boxes. When the rod-shaped parts are in the correct position in a magazine or in a processing device, the cover strip can be torn off, separated, i.e. removed, according to the invention, so that the holder strip on the opposite side can also simply be taken off. As soon as the rod-shaped parts are in their final position in a processing device or a magazine, the packaging is no longer needed and it can be easily removed.
Since such packaging is needed only in the sense of packaging and not as a means of feeding the rod-shaped parts directly into the processing device, it is possible to make the packaging of the most varied materials, with an inherently rigid packaging being advantageous. Therefore it is also possible to use special recyclable material for such packaging, for environmental reasons.
Furthermore, it is proposed that the holder strip be formed essentially in a U shape, with holder openings or indentations being formed in the ridges which run parallel to one another at a distance, separated by a back section. The rod-shaped parts which are inserted are therefore held aligned parallel to one another by two ridges, which are spaced correspondingly apart, where it is very simple to insert the rod-shaped parts into the holder openings, i.e. to
