A modular rack for packaging and processing a quantity of elongate objects, such as a quantity of syringe barrels, is disclosed. The racks preferably include two or more vertical supports, each of which is attached to a relatively flat base for supporting in the rack on a work surface. A plurality of resilient barrel clips designed to releasably retain individual syringe barrels are secured between the vertical supports. Structure for supporting flanges associated with individual syringe barrels is provided at an upper extremity of the vertical supports. In one configuration, the structure for supporting the flanges includes a pair of plates spaced apart from one another to define a pocket for receiving the syringe flanges. Cut-outs are formed in each of the plates, both to accommodate entry of the syringe barrel adjacent the flange as well as to provide access to the open proximal end of the syringe barrel for processing purposes. Various structures are provided to releasably secure together one or more of the syringe racks so as to form a block configuration of syringe racks for packaging and handling purposes. Alternately, if desired, the individual racks may be releasably detached from the block configuration so as to sequentially handle the individual syringes contained in each rack. The open architecture of the rack permits ready visual inspection of the syringes held by the rack.
L'invention concerne un support modulaire pour le conditionnement et la manutention de quantités d'objets de forme allongée, tels des corps de pompe de seringues. De préférence, le support comporte au moins deux éléments verticaux, chacun de ces éléments étant fixés à une base relativement plate, adaptée à la surface de travail. Une pluralité de pinces fixées aux éléments verticaux maintiennent individuellement et de façon non permanente les corps de pompe des seringues. Un autre élément structural offre un appui aux anneaux de retenue des corps de pompe. Dans une autre configuration, l'élément structural offrant appui aux anneaux de retenue est constitué d'une paire de plaques espacées de manière à former un fourreau pour recevoir les corps de pompe. Une indentation est pratiquée dans chacune de ces plaques à la fois pour permettre le passage des corps de pompe jusqu'à l'anneau de retenue et pour donner accès à l'extrémité ouverte des corps de pompe de seringues aux fins de conditionnement. Diverses structures sont proposées pour grouper plusieurs supports en vue de former une configuration en bloc aux fins d'emballage et de manutention. Il est aussi possible, aux fins de conditionnement séquentiel des corps de pompe, de séparer un support individuel d'une configuration en bloc. De par son architecture ouverte, ce support facilite l'inspection visuelle des corps de pompe de seringues.
