Abstract:
This tray includes spaced apart openings arranged in parallel rows, intended to receive the bodies of the elongated objects, and projections making it possible to place the flanges of the elongated objects inserted in these openings in a determined angular position on the tray when the bodies of these elongated objects are engaged in these openings. According to the invention: said projections are arranged so as to place the length of said flanges in a determined angular position with respect to the rows of openings, and the openings of a first row of openings are arranged with respect to a second row of openings adjacent to said first row, such that after installation of the elongated objects on the tray, the flanges of the objects inserted in the openings of said the first row imbricates with the flanges of the objects inserted in the openings of said second row, i.e. each flange of an object of said the first row is positioned in a space existing between the two adjacent flanges of the objects of said second row, in the immediate vicinity of these two flanges.

Claim (Index 1):
A tray for positioning elongated objects, each elongated object having a cylindrical body and a noncircular flange, the flange having a length greater than its width, the tray comprising:\n a plate defining spaced apart openings arranged in parallel rows, the plate comprising a first row comprising a first plurality of spaced apart openings and a second row comprising a second plurality of spaced apart openings, each opening configured to receive the body of one of the elongated objects, wherein the plate further comprises a plurality of projections extending therefrom, with each opening having at least one projection adjacent thereto, the at least one projection displaced from a perimeter of the opening such that the at least one projection contacts and positions a peripheral edge of the noncircular flange in a determined angular position when the elongated object is fully inserted into the opening, such that the flange of the elongated object inserted in the first plurality of spaced apart openings imbricates between two adjacent flanges of elongated objects inserted in the second plurality of spaced apart openings, and wherein the at least one projection comprises a cylindrical stem and a radial wall, extending radially therefrom, said cylindrical stem being arranged substantially between two of the first plurality of openings, the cylindrical stem and the radial wall being disposed on the plate such that the noncircular flange of the elongated object contacts the cylindrical stem and the radial wall when the elongated object is fully inserted into the opening.
