Definitions

  • This invention relates to article carriers which are economical to produce and at the same time are aesthetically pleasing in appearance.
  • Article carriers are known in which at least a portion of the anchoring means for certain of the transverse partition panels is struck in part from one or more of the carrier end wall panels. Of course this causes the carrier to be unattractive in appearance.
  • the invention provides an article carrier comprising a bottom wall, a pair of side walls foldably joined respectively to the side edges of said bottom wal.1, end wall panels foldably joined respectively to the end edges of said side walls and extending inwardly therefrom, riser panels foldably joined respectively to the medial edges of said end wall panels at one end of the carrier and extending inwardly therefrom, medial panels foldably joined respectively to the medial edges of said end wall panels at the other end of the carrier and extending inwardly therefrom, a handle structure joined to upper portions of said riser panels and said medial panels and extending upwardly therefrom, a transverse partition panel foldably joined to one of said medial panels and extending substantially outwardly to the adjacent side wall and being disposed in angular relationship with respect to a notional perpendicular connection therebetween, an anchoring tab joined to said transverse partition panel remote from said medial panel and being adhered to said adjacent side wall, characterized in that the upper portion of said transverse partition panel is bowed outwardly toward the adjacent end of the
  • FIG. 1 is an isometric view of an article carrier constructed according to this invention
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of the blank from which the carrier is formed
  • FIGS. 3, 4, 5 and 6 depict intermediate stages through which the carrier is folded and glued into a complete and collapsed carrier as shown in FIG. 7
  • FIG. 8 is an isometric view of a portion of the transverse partition structure.
  • the numeral 1 designates the bottom wall of the carrier to a side edge of which side wall 2 is foldably joined along fold line 3.
  • bottom wall 1 is provided with medial fold line 4.
  • End wall panels 5 and 6 are foldably joined to the end edges of side wall 2 respectively along fold lines 7 and 8.
  • end wall panels 9 and 10 are foldably joined respectively to the end edges of side wall 11 along fold lines 12 and 13.
  • Anchoring flap 14 is joined to the lower edge of side wall 11 along fold line 15.
  • riser panels 16 and 17 are joined respectively to end wall panels 10 and 6 along fold lines 18 and 19.
  • Medial structure for the carrier is provided in a form of medial panels 20 and 21 which are foldably joined respectively to end wall panels 9 and 5 along fold lines 22 and 23.
  • medial partition panels 24 and 25 are joined to the upper and lower edges respectively of medial panel 21 along fold lines 26 and 27.
  • Handle structure for the carrier is provided in the form of handle panels 28, 29, 30 and 31.
  • Handle panels 28 and 29 are joined respectively to i riser panels 16 and 17 along fold lines 18 and 19 and handle panel 30 is joined to handle panel 28 along fold line 32.
  • Hand cushioning means is provided in the form of flaps 33 and 34 which are joined respectively to handle panels 28 and 29 along fold lines 35 and 36.
  • handle panel 28 is joined to handle panel 29 along fold line 37 and, in similar fashion, handle panel 30 is joined to handle panel 31 along fold line 38. Also locking tab 39 is joined to handle panel 29 along fold line 40.
  • Transverse partitioning structure for the carrier is provided in the form of transverse partition panels 41 and 42 which are joined respectively to medial panels 20 and 21 along fold lines 43 and 44.
  • transverse partition panel 45 is joined to medial panel 20 by means of fold line 47 and web panel 48.
  • transverse partition panel 46 is joined to medial panel 21 by means of fold line 49 and web panel 50.
  • Transverse partition panel 41 is provided with anchoring tab 51 which is joined thereto by means of fold lines 52 and 53.
  • anchoring tab 54 is joined to transverse partition panel 42 along fold lines 55 and 56.
  • anchoring tabs 57 and 58 are struck substantially respectively from transverse partition panels 45 and 46. Further anchoring tab 57 is joined to transverse partition tab 45 along angular fold lines 59 and 60 and, in like manner, anchoring tab 58 is joined to transverse partition panel 46 along angular fold lines 61 and 62. Anchoring tabs 57 and 58 are provided with bend lines 63 and 64.
  • keel panel 65 is joined to the lower edge of medial panel 20 along fold line 66 and locking aperture 67 is formed astride the fold line 66. Also locking tab 68 is formed along the periphery of locking aperture 67. To complete the locking structure, locking tab 69 is formed along the lower edge of medial panel 21.
  • locking tab 39 is folded upwardly and to the right along fold line 40 into an interlocking relationship with medial panel 21 as best shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. Also keel panel 65 is folded downwardly along fold line 66. The carrier then appears as shown in FIG. 5.
  • medial partition panel 25 is elevated and folded over along fold line 27. Also bottom wall 1 is folded along medial fold line 4 to occupy the position shown in FIG. 6. Then an application of glue is made to anchoring flap 14 as well as to medial panels 20/ 21, keel panel 65, riser panels 16 and 17, handle panels 30 and 31, and medial partition panels 24 and 25, as shown by stippling in FIG. 6. Then the portions of the carrier disposed above fold line 38 are simply elevated and folded downwardly to occupy the positions shown in FIG. 7 which represents the carrier in complete and collapsed condition.
  • transverse partition panels 45 and 46 Since anchoring tabs 57 and 58 are struck substantially from the respective transverse partition panels 45 and 46 and not from end panels 9 and.5, when the carrier is fully assembled and glued, the structural relationships between transverse partition panels 45 and 46 and the other elements of the carrier cause these panels to assume an angular relationship with respect to the medial structure and the side walls which varies slightly from perpendicular. This causes the associated end cell to be somewhat larger in size than desired.
  • transverse partition panels 45 and 46 are caused to bow slightly outwardly whereby proper spacing is achieved between the transverse partition panel and the associated end wall panel. This is accomplished by means of web panels 48 and 50 which, when the carrier is set up, cause the upper portions of transverse partition panels 45 and 46 to bow or bend toward the respective end wall panels 9 and 5.
  • transverse partition panels 45 and 46 To further cause transverse partition panels 45 and 46 to bend in an outward fashion along the upper portions thereof, angular fold lines 59-62 are provided. Since fold lines 59-62 diverge outwardly with respect to the ends of transverse partition panels 45 and 46, as the carrier is set up, additional stress is introduced along the upper portions thereof thereby causing them to bow outwardly.
  • a carrier is provided which is economical to produce,, aesthetically pleasing and at the same time compensates for inherent undesirable angular dispositions of certain of the transverse partition panels.
