Abstract

A package for small parts. There is an areal support with a front and a back and with receptacles for the small parts. The support is divided by a first fold axis into two sections. The support is folded around the first fold axis in such a way that the two sections face each other with their fronts. The support also has a second fold axis that runs at right angles to the first fold axis and divides the two sections into two sub-sections. The support is folded around the second fold axis in such a way that the backs of the sub-sections fact each other. The invention permits the storage of small parts securely, that is without unwanted release, but makes for simple removal of the small parts.

Claims (11)

1 . Package for small parts with an areal support (10) which has a front and back, and with receptacles (27) for the small parts, characterized in that the support (10) is divided by a first fold axis (11) into two sections (12, 13) and is foldable around the first fold axis (11) in such a way that the two sections (12, 13) face each other with their fronts, and in that the support (10) has a second fold axis (15) which runs at a right angle to the first fold axis (11) and divides the two sections (12, 13) each into two sub-sections (19, 20 and 21, 22 respectively), the support (10) being foldable around the second fold axis (15) in such a way that the backs of the sub-sections (19 to 22) face each other.

2. Package according to Claim 1, characterized in that the package is in one piece, the fold axes (11, 16) being designed as film hinges (14, 17 respectively).

3. Package according to Claim 2, characterized in that the first fold axis (11) is formed by two film hinges (14, 14) running parallel at a distance or symmetrically diverging, the distance between these film hinges (14, 14) being equal to the height of the package if the package is folded together around the first fold axis (11).

4. Package according to one of Claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the second fold axis (16) is formed by two film hinges (17, 17) running parallel at a distance or symmetrically diverging.

5. Package according to Claim 4, characterized in that the distance between the film hinges (17, 17) lies in the range from roughly a sixth to roughly a third of the width the support (10).

6. Package according to one of Claims 1 to 5, characterized in that the receptacles (27) are designed as pockets which are so arranged at the edge of the sub-sections (19 to 22) that the openings (26) of the pockets (27) at one longitudinal edge face the openings (28) of the pockets (27) at the opposite longitudinal edge.

7. Package according to one of Claims 1 or 3 to 6, character-ized in that the pockets (27) at the longitudinal edge of one sub-section (19 to 22) are designed as a removable separate element.

8. Package according to one of Claims 1 to 7, characterized in that the sub-sections (19 to 22 ) are lockable is the folded-over position.

9. Package according to Claim 6, 7 or 8 with small parts (29, 30) contained in the pockets (27), characterized in that pockets (27) lying opposite each other are so matched in their depth and in their distance from each other to the longitudinal dimensions of the small parts (29, 30) accom-odated in them that the small parts (29, 30) display as small as possible a distance.

10. Package according to Claim 9, characterized by a device (50) for the blocking of the second fold axis (11).

11. Package according to one of Claims 1 to 5, characterized in that each of the receptacles (27) is designed as two pairs of cooperating open clips.
