NEWLY PERFECTED PACKAGING FOR THE WRAPPING OF MAINLY CYLINDRICAL AND LONG SHAPED BODIES, SUCH AS ARTIFICIAL TRIPE

摘要

A packaging for a grouping of casing sticks of artificial tripe or wrappers in an overlapping alignment having a quincuncial arrangement forming a parallelepiped block has a transparent cover which is adapted to surround the parallelepiped block. The packaging has a tubular configuration where two ends of the packaging overlap on the block. The overlapping two ends define a sealing line which is located upon the middle line of one of the larger surfaces of the block. The ends of the tubular element are folded so as to fit over the ends of the sheaths. Flaps at the open sides of the packaging are folded down onto the same surface of the block on which the sealing line is located, and specifically upon the end areas of the sealing line. The transparent packaging cover is stabilized by an adhesive tape strip which is placed covering the sealing line and the folded flaps. The adhesive tape may have an adhesive free section arranged to form a manual grab tab for allowing the package to be easily opened. The tape may extend at one end by a substantial length which reaches the opposite surface of the block upon which an intermediate length is defined which stands apart from the block and may be used as a manual block grip handle.
