Packaging for storing automotive parts

Abstract

The present patent of invention pertains to a packaging (E) for storing automotive parts, particularly, wheel hub, or any other parts having similar formats for automotive vehicles, made of thermo-plastic material, the main objective of which is to provide a suitable sealing system to prevent the entry of humidity and liquids inside the packaging. Additionally, said packaging (E) comprises its own specific structural characteristics that enable a reduction in material, maintaining the desired mechanical resistance. The packaging (E) comprises a suitable sealing system ( 3 ) between the body ( 1 ) and the lid ( 2 ), designed and shaped to form sealing regions ( 3 A and 3 B).

1 . PACKAGING FOR STORING AUTOMOTIVE PARTS, the packaging (E) being endowed with a body ( 1 ) closed by a lid ( 2 ), characterized by comprising a sealing system ( 3 ) formed by the combination of a connection segment ( 3 A), endowed with at least a radial projection ( 30 ) and disposed on the lid ( 2 ) which is endowed with a step ( 33 ), with a connection segment ( 3 B), endowed with at least a radial projection ( 30 ) and an upper peripheral region ( 32 ) contacting the step ( 33 ) of the lid ( 2 ); the radial projections ( 30 ) of the connection segments ( 3 A and  3 B) having geometries that agree with each other, being positioned and encased under pressure, simultaneously, when positioning the upper peripheral region ( 32 ) of the body ( 1 ) on the step ( 33 ) of the lid ( 2 ). 
     
     
         2 . PACKAGING FOR STORING AUTOMOTIVE PARTS, as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized by the upper peripheral region ( 32 ) of the body ( 1 ) comprises a tab ( 32 ′) contacting the step ( 33 ) of the lid ( 2 ), which projects from the upper end of the body ( 1 ). 
     
     
         3 . PACKAGING FOR STORING AUTOMOTIVE PARTS, as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized by the lid ( 2 ) comprises projections ( 21 ) disposed on a top face ( 20 ) of the lid ( 2 ), wherein the projections ( 21 ) stand out continuously from the thickness of the top face ( 20 ) and are interconnected with a radial edge ( 22 ) delimited by a step ( 23 ). 
     
     
         4 . PACKAGING FOR STORING AUTOMOTIVE PARTS, as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized by the projections ( 21 ) being positioned parallel to each other. 
     
     
         5 . PACKAGING FOR STORING AUTOMOTIVE PARTS, as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized by the stacking is carried out based on the cooperative encasement between the radial edge ( 22 ) of the lid ( 2 ) and a lower peripheral region ( 11 ) of the body ( 1 ), and there occurs simultaneously the encasement of a lower ring projection ( 12 ) of the body ( 1 ) on the step ( 23 ) of the lid ( 2 ). 
     
     
         6 . PACKAGING FOR STORING AUTOMOTIVE PARTS, as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized by the radial edge ( 22 ) of the lid ( 2 ) comprises a widened and substantially domed perimeter area so as to provide a bigger contact area between said radial edge ( 22 ) and peripheral region ( 11 ) of the body ( 1 ). 
     
     
         7 . PACKAGING FOR STORING AUTOMOTIVE PARTS, as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized by the body ( 1 ) comprises a set of diagonal grooves ( 4 ) distributed interspersed. 
     
     
         8 . PACKAGING FOR STORING AUTOMOTIVE PARTS, as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized by the lid ( 2 ) comprise an external dimension (De) minimally bigger than the external size (de) of the body ( 1 ). 
     
     
         9 . PACKAGING FOR STORING AUTOMOTIVE PARTS, as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized by being configured and manufactured in different sizes (S, M or L) and are compatible with each other.
