Abstract:
This invention relates to a box for the packaging of a reel of cinematographic film, magnetic tape or the like, comprising a body and a cover unitary with means provided for centering the reel and in which there is incorporated a locking device comprising an expansible means and a rotary actuation cam, wherein the expansible means comprises at least three flexible blades extending freely in directions substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the cam rotatably mounted in one of the bosses, the base of each blade is immobilized in this first boss, the free end of each blade bears against the cam and has an outwardly projecting tooth and the second boss defines a central opening bordered by a truncated seat converging towards the first boss and against which the teeth of said blades may be pressed by the cam in order to provoke, at the same time as the locking of the cover on the body, the mutual bringing together of these latter in order to tighten the reel.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a device for packaging reels of magnetic tape, cinematographic film or the like and for stowing them in a suspension-type filing cabinet, comprising on the one hand a relatively supple, open annular band, which is U-sectioned and centered on the geometric axis of a reel, on the other hand a locking member connecting the ends of the band and finally, at least one resilient means tending to apply said band, for the purpose of sealing, against the edge of the sides of the reel to be protected, wherein a resilient-return slide is guided in concentric translation on the outer face of the first end of the band, the free terminal part of this slide being separated, by a slit perpendicular to the above-mentioned axis, into two arms having two locking teeth projecting into a direction parallel to this axis, said teeth being capable of cooperating with a guard member unitary with the second end of this band and provided for the passage of said slide.
