Packaging (1) for clock hands (2) with a pipe (4) and a body (5), including a pallet (10) for receiving, holding, storing and carrying hands (2) having the same height, including bores (11) for receiving the pipes (4) according to a constant pitch, adjacent to recesses (12) for housing the hand bodies (5) resting on an upper surface (13), each pallet (10) including a position index device (20), and a spacer (15) for cooperating such that it bears against a lower surface (14) of another pallet (10) and extending, from the upper surface (13), over a height which exceeds that of the hand bodies (5), each pallet (10) having a transverse bearing surface (130) for receiving the bearing surfaces (3) of the hands (2), and, parallel thereto, oblong pieces (131), the width whereof is adapted for the insertion of robotic grippers or tweezers for loading/unloading 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), each said bore (11) or respectively trunnion (110) being adjacent to a recess (12) 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 said recess (12) 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), and in that 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), the width whereof in said longitudinal direction (DL) is adapted for the insertion of robotic grippers or of tweezers for loading or unloading said hands (2), and which are arranged to limit capillarity plating of said hands (2) on said upper pallet surface (13) so as to facilitate the deposition thereof 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 the thickness thereof.
