Packaging for clock hands

A packaging (1) for clock hands (2), each of said hands (2) comprising at least one pipe (4) defining a hand axis (D), and a bearing surface (3) connected to said pipe (4) and substantially perpendicular to said hand axis (D), and at least one hand body (5) that is substantially radial relative to each said pipe (4), said packaging (1) comprising at least one pallet (10) provided for receiving, holding, storing and carrying said hands (2), said at least one pallet (10) comprising a series of bores (11) or trunnions (110) for receiving said pipes (4) and a plurality of recesses for receiving said hands, each of said bores or respective trunnions being adjacent to an associated one of said recesses arranged to house one said hand body (5) resting on an upper pallet surface (13) which is opposite a lower pallet surface (14) situated on the opposite face of said at least one pallet (10),

• wherein said recesses (12) are parallel to one another, each being arranged to receive a said hand (2) in a longitudinal direction (DL) of said pallet (10), each recess (12) of said plurality of recesses being delimited by at least two lateral stops (120) in a transverse direction (DT) perpendicular to said longitudinal direction (DL) and to said hand axes (D),
• wherein at least one said pallet (10) comprises at least one transverse bearing surface (130) arranged to receive all of said bearing surfaces (3) of a series of said hands (2) and oriented in said transverse direction (DT), and, substantially parallel to said transverse bearing surface (130) and on a first side thereof, first oblong pieces (131) having a width in said longitudinal direction (DL) which is configured for the insertion of robotic grippers or of tweezers for loading or unloading said hands (2), and which are arranged to facilitate the deposition of said hands by a vacuum handling means, and to facilitate the passage of leaching fluids and/or the application of certain treatments on said hands (2) deposited on said at least one pallet (10), through a thickness of the pallet.
