Packaging system for at least one electrical service device

Abstract

A packaging system for at least one electrical service device is described, which has a transparent packaging configuration. At least one service device is accommodated in the transparent packaging configuration. The transparent packaging configuration has a container. The container has two side walls that accommodate the service device between them. As viewed from the outside, one of the side walls has a depression and the other of the side walls has a protuberance. When a plurality of containers are aligned in a row, one beside another, the protuberance ( 21 ) of the first container engages in the depression ( 20 ) of the adjacent container, so that the two containers are connected to each other frictionally or with a form locking connection, releasably.

We claim:  
     
         1 . A packaging system for an electrical service device, comprising: 
 a transparent packaging configuration for accommodating the electrical service device having a container made of clearly transparent, stiff and flexible material for holding the service device;    said container having two side walls, each of said side wall having a first edge, a second edge opposite said first edge and defining a region of said side wall, and a first depression formed therein;    said first depressions being matched to the electrical service device and each protruding outward;    said first edges flexibly connected said side walls to each other;    said side walls resting directly on each other in said region of said second edges;    one of said side walls having an embossed pip in said region of said second edge and the other of said side walls having a second depression in said region of said second edge, said side walls being releasably connected to each other by said embossed pip and said second depression.    
     
     
         2 . The packaging system according to  claim 1 , wherein the electrical service device is a circuit breaker.  
     
     
         3 . The packaging system according to  claim 2 , wherein the circuit breaker is a fault-current circuit breaker.  
     
     
         4 . The packaging system according to  claim 1 , wherein: 
 the service device has a fixing side; and    said first edges of said side walls lie on the fixing side of the service device.    
     
     
         5 . The packaging system according to  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a further container formed by two side walls; and    a connector provided on at least one of said side walls of said container for releasably connecting said containers to said further container.    
     
     
         6 . The packaging system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a connector provided on at least one of said side walls of said container for releasably connecting to a connecter of a further container.  
     
     
         7 . The packaging system according to  claim 6 , wherein said connector is an adhesive surface.  
     
     
         8 . The packaging system according to  claim 6 , wherein said connector is selected from the group consisting of a geometric element and a recess formed in said side wall.  
     
     
         9 . The packaging system according to  claim 8 , further comprising: 
 an at least one-third protuberance projecting outward and disposed on one of said side walls; and    an at least one-third depression complementing said one-third protuberance and disposed on the other of said side walls;    said one-third protuberance and said one-third depression being aligned in a row to allow interengaging by a releasable connection with the further container, which has a respective at least one-third protuberance and an at least one-third depression, when said container is aligned with the further container in a row.    
     
     
         10 . The packaging system according to  claim 9 , wherein said one-third protuberance and said one-third depression have a profiled circumferential contour with a likewise profiled cross section.  
     
     
         11 . The packaging system according to  claim 10 , wherein: 
 said profiled circumferential contour is a rectangular contour; and    said likewise profiled cross section is a rectangular cross section.    
     
     
         12 . The packaging system according to  claim 10 , wherein: 
 said profiled circumferential contour is a rectangular contour; and    said likewise profiled cross section is a dovetail-shaped cross section.    
     
     
         13 . The packaging system according to  claim 9 , wherein: 
 said at least one-third protuberance is an at least two-third protuberance; and    said at least one-third depression is an at least two-third depression.    
     
     
         14 . The packaging system according to  claim 9 , wherein: 
 said at least one-third protuberance is a three-third protuberances; and    said at least one-third depression is a three-third depression.    
     
     
         15 . The packaging system according to  claim 9 , wherein: 
 said at least one-third protuberance has an outer circumferential contour; and    said at least one-third depression has an inner circumferential contour;    said outer circumferential contour and said inner circumferential contour being dimensioned to create a form-locking connection with each other.    
     
     
         16 . The packaging system according to  claim 9 , wherein one of said at least one-third protuberance and said at least one-third depression can be latched in the other of an at least one-third protuberance and at least one-third depression of the further container when said container and the further container are pushed onto one another in a parallel and sliding manner along said side wall of said container and the side wall of the further container.  
     
     
         17 . The packaging system according to  claim 9 , wherein one of said at least one-third protuberance and said at least one-third depression can be latched in the other of an at least one-third protuberance and at least one-third depression of the further container as said container and the further container are rotated mutually along said side wall of said container and the side wall of the further container.
