Abstract
A packing structure for protecting a cylindrical object includes an integrated fastener, the packing structure assuming the form of a collar hooping the object to be protected and being characterized in that the collar includes over at least a large portion of its periphery at least one at least partly closed housing (4) which is designed to receive and retain on the collar the fastener (2) which shall enclose and tighten the collar, the housing being a channel fitted with two lips, the fastener (2) being inserted between these lips. In the packing structure for protecting the end of a cylindrical object, the collar is fitted with a substantially right-angle flange (5) covering the end segment of the object to be protected.
Claims22
A protective packing structure for a cylindrical object, said packing structure comprising:
- a fastener;
- and
- a collar for hooping the object to be protected, wherein said collar comprises at least one housing over a portion of a periphery of said collar, said housing being at least partly closed and configured to receive and retain onto the collar the fastener used to enclose and tighten said collar;
- wherein said collar has opposite edges and a thickness that tapers in a direction from said housing toward one of said edges.
A protective packing structure for a cylindrical object, said packing structure comprising:
- a fastener;
- and
- a collar for hooping the object to be protected, wherein said collar comprises at least one housing over a portion of a periphery of said collar, said housing being at least partly closed, said housing receiving and retaining onto the collar the fastener used to enclose and tighten said collar;
- wherein the collar is in the form of a strip of a length that is selected in relation to a desired diameter of the collar;
- and
- wherein the strip is made of plastic and has ends that are mutually fused.
A protective packing structure for a cylindrical object, said packing structure comprising:
- a fastener;
- and
- a collar for hooping the object to be protected, wherein said collar comprises at least one housing over a portion of a periphery of said collar, said housing being at least partly closed, said housing receiving and retaining onto the collar the fastener used to enclose and tighten said collar;
- wherein the housing has a cap situated on the periphery of said collar, covering said fastener, and being fused at a free end segment thereof.
A protective packing structure for a cylindrical object, said packing structure comprising:
- a fastener;
- a collar for hooping the object to be protected, wherein said collar comprises at least one housing over a portion of a periphery of said collar, said housing being at least partly closed, said housing receiving and retaining onto the collar the fastener used to enclose and tighten said collar;
- and
- a flange at a substantially right angle relative to said collar for covering an end segment of said object to be protected;
- wherein an edge constituting a junction between the collar and said flange is reinforced by an external rib.
