Patent ID: 8490790

Claim:
An assembly of elements for bulking a plurality of elongate objects, syringe bodies having an elongate axis and a support hold piece configured as a flange, comprising: a plate with housings for receiving the objects for bulking, each housing being delimited by lateral walls arranged to form a polygon and comprising a planar support zone having a through hole for receiving the object for bulking, the planar support zone including at least two walls arranged in a plane that is parallel to a plane of the plate; wherein each housing is formed by a cell; wherein the lateral walls delimiting the cells adjoin one another from one cell to an adjacent cell and extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the planar support zone; wherein each cell is shaped in order to at least partially receive a proximal part of the object for bulking when the object for bulking extends through the through hole so that the elongate axis of the object for bulking is substantially perpendicular with respect to the plane of the planar support zone; wherein at least one of the lateral walls delimiting two adjacent cells comprises a recess provided in its thickness, from the section of this wall, the recess comprising snap-fitting teeth, one for each of the adjacent cells; and wherein a space extends between a lower region of the teeth and opposing surfaces of the at least two walls of the planar support zone, the space corresponding substantially to a thickness of the flange of the support hold piece such that the flange is immobilized when engaged in the space.
