Abstract
A packaging arrangement for a construction jobsite product including a construction jobsite product, a carrying case for carrying the construction jobsite product, a sleeve disposed around the carrying case, wherein the carrying case has a bar code disposed on an outer surface of the carrying case. The sleeve may have a window or opening.
Description
- This specification relates to power tool packaging and more specifically to carrying eases for power tools and other products.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , one or more construction jobsite product(s) 10, such as a power tool, a drill, a circular saw, a reciprocating saw, a laser level, etc., are typically sold in a carrying case designated broadly at 20.Such case 20 may be made of metal, fabric or plastic. Oneexemplary case 20 is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,070,754, which is fully incorporated herein by reference. - It is difficult to print or paint a detailed description of the item on
case 20 for display and sale purposes. Accordingly, acardboard sleeve 30 containing such information is typically wrapped around thecase 20. Thecardboard sleeve 30 has abar code 31 that can be scanned by a store clerk to input the item's SKU number into a computer register. As is well known, the typical computer register is connected to a server. Upon inputting of the item's SKU number, the server provides the proper price information, as well as any other information necessary for the transaction. - A manufacturer may sell two construction jobsite products of varying prices. Such products may be disposed in
separate cases 20, where thecases 20 have similar outer dimensions. Because of this, an unethical customer may swap thecardboard sleeve 30 of the more expensive product with thecardboard sleeve 30 of the less expensive product. The customer may then take the more expensive item (with thecardboard sleeve 30 of the less expensive product) to the register. When the item is scanned into the register the customer is then charged a lower amount of money. Furthermore, depending upon the store's return policy, such purchaser may get a cash refund or credit for the more expensive price if he returns the purchased item without the replaced sleeve. - Other manufacturers have provided some item information, such as SKU number or item description, on the
case 20, while maintaining the bar code on thecardboard sleeve 30. While such arrangement may limit some fraud, it requires the store clerk to check that the SKU number and/or item description on thecase 20 matches the SKU number and/or item description on thecardboard sleeve 30 or displayed on the register. In other words, the fraud may still be committed if the store clerk is not diligent. - A packaging arrangement for a construction jobsite product including a construction jobsite product, a carrying case for carrying the construction Jobsite product, a sleeve disposed around the carrying case, wherein the carrying case has a bar code disposed on an outer surface of the carrying case. The sleeve may have a window or opening.
- Additional features and benefits of the present invention are described and will be apparent from, the accompanying drawings and the detailed description below.
- The accompanying drawings illustrate preferred embodiments according to the practical application of the principles thereof and in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a prior art packaging arrangement for a construction jobsite product. -
FIG. 2 is a packaging arrangement for a construction jobsite product according to the invention. - The present invention will now be described more fully hereinafter. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
- Referring to
FIG. 2 , one or more construction jobsite product(s) 10, such as a power tool, a drill, a circular saw, a reciprocating saw, a laser level, etc., may be disposed in a carrying case designated broadly at 20.Such case 20 is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,070,754, which is fully incorporated herein by reference. - The
case 20 may be made of metal or plastic. Preferably,case 20 is made of injection-molded or double-walled blow-molded components.Case 20 may include a name plate insert 50 as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,070,754. -
Case 20 may have abar code 21 disposed on an outer surface thereofBar code 21 may be painted or pad-printed oncase 20. Alternatively,bar code 21 may be integrally molded untocase 20, or molded as an insert, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,070,754.Bar code 21 may be printed on a sticker or label, which could be glued on attached, and/or lacquered untocase 20. Preferably,bar code 21 is printed on a sticker or label that self-destructs when removed fromcase 20. Ifcase 20 is made of fabric,bar code 21 may be screen printed or sewn untocase 20. Persons skilled in the art will recognize that it is preferable to makebar code 21 difficult to remove or separate fromcase 20. - As shown in
FIG. 2 ,bar code 21 may be disposed on a side surface 20S ofcase 20. Alternatively,bar code 21 may be disposed on afront surface 20F ofcase 20. Asconstruction jobsite product 10 orcase 20 may have an RFID orSensormatic tag 22 disposed therein, it is preferable to placebar code 21 nearsuch tag 22. - A
sleeve 30 may be disposed aroundcase 20.Sleeve 30 is preferably made of cardboard, shrink-wrap plastic or TYVEK®. Persons skilled in the art will recognize that, if cardboardsleeve 30 coversbar code 21 when is disposed oncase 20, awindow 32 may be provided onsleeve 30.Window 32 would allow a person to see and/or scanbar code 21 without having to removesleeve 30.Window 32 could be a die-cut hole or a clear window insleeve 30. - While embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it is not intended that these embodiments illustrate and describe all possible forms of the invention. Rather, the words used in the specification are words of description rather than limitation, and it is understood that various changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
