Definitions

  • This invention relates to packages each incorporating a group of flanged containers and to blanks for forming such packages.
  • One aspect of the invention provides a package incorporating a group of flanged containers arranged in at least one row, which package comprises a top panel overlying the tops of the containers in each row and side panel means flanking the exposed sides of the containers in each row, characterised in that said side panel means each include portions secured to the undersides of the container flanges in each row thereof.
  • Another aspect of.the invention provides a package incorporating a group of flanged containers arranged in at least one row and in at least one tier, which package comprises a top panel overlying the tops of the containers in each row of the uppermost tier of containers, side panel means flanking the outermost sides of the containers in each row and wherein the side panel means each include portions secured to the undersides of the flanges of the containers in each row of containers at least in the uppermost tier thereof where more than one tier of containers is present.
  • FIGURE 1 shows an elongate blank 10 formed from paperboard or similar foldable sheet material and which comprises a top panel 12 to each of the longitudinal edges of which is hinged integral glue strips 14 and 16 along fold lines 18 and 20, respectively.
  • a side panel 22 is hinged to glue strip 14 along fold line 24 and a side panel 26 is hinged to glue strip 16 along fold line 28.
  • the blank is applied to a group of containers 'C', which, as in this case, may each be connected to an adjacent container by its flange 'f', so that the top panel 12 lies on the tops of the containers in the group.
  • the glue strips 14 and 16 are then brought into abutment with and secured to (as by gluing) the underfaces of the flanges 'f' of the containers in each of the rows R', R2 by folding the blank along fold lines 18,24 and 20,28. This folding operation also brings each of the side panels 22 and.26 into abutment with the exposed faces of the adjacent containers.
  • FIGURE 3 is a schematic end view of a single line package in which like parts of the blank referred to above are designated like reference numerals with the addition of suffix 'a'.
  • the blank 30 is of similar construction to that previously described but has side panels comprising a series of connected flaps.
  • the blank 30 includes a top panel 32 to each of the longitudinal edges of which is hinged integral glue strips 34 and 36 along tear lines 38 and 40, respectively.
  • a composite side panel 42 is hinged to the glue strip 34 along fold line 44 and a composite side panel 46 is hinged to glue strip 36 along fold line 48.
  • the side panel 42 comprises a series of flaps 50-56 connected one to the next along frangible connections 58-62.
  • the side panel 46 comprises a series of flaps 64-70 connected one to the next along frangible connections 72-76.
  • the blank is applied to a group of containers in similar manner to that described with reference to the previous embodiment.
  • the completed package is opened by tearing away the top panel 32 along the tear lines 38 and 40 whereafter individual containers can be separated one from the other by breaking the common flanged connection of adjacent containers and the frangible connection beween adjacent side wall flaps.
  • a similar package having side wall flaps but without a tearaway top panel is envisaged.
  • the weakened lines 38 and 40 are substituted by continuous fold lines similar to fold lines 44 and 48.
  • Blank 78 comprises a top panel 80 to each of the longitudinal edges of which is hinged upper side panels 82 and 84 along fold lines 86 and 88 respectively.
  • Glue strips 90 and 92 are hinged to outermost edges of respective ones of the upper side panels along fold lines 94, 96 and lower side walls 98, 100 are hinged to respective ones of the glue strips 90 and 92 along fold lines 102,104.
  • the blank is applied to the two tier group of containers so that the top panel 80 overlies the tops of the containers in the upper tier t'.
  • the glue strips are then secured as previously described, to the underside of the container flanges in the lowermost tier t 2 .
  • the upper side walls flank the sides of the containers in the upper tier and the lower side walls flank the sides of the containers in the lower tier whereby the containers of the two tiers are held together with the containers in the upper tier seated in registry with the containers in the lower tier.
  • each of the upper side panels 82a and 84a is provided with a tear away strip 106, 108 defined by tear lines 110, 112; 114,116 respectively.
  • the tear lines 112 and 116 have been subtituted for the fold lines 94 and 96 of the previous embodiment. It will be appreciated that the tear strips 106 and 108 facilitate opening the package as best seen in FIGURE 9.
  • FIGURE 10 A further modified blank suitable for forming a two-tier package is shown in FIGURE 10 which also is similar to the blank illustrated in FIGURE 6 and in which like parts are designated like reference numerals with the addition of suffix 'b'.
  • the fold lines 86,88 of the FIGURE 8 embodiment are replaced by additional glue strips 118 and 120 defined by fold lines 86b,122 and 88b,124 respectively. These additional glue strips are secured to the undersides of the flanges in the uppermost tier t'b of the containers as shown in FIGURE 11.
  • FIGURE 12 shows a blank 78c which is similar to that illustrated in FIGURE 6 but is modified to include end panels and in which like parts are designated like reference numerals with the addition of suffix 'c'.
  • End panels 126 and 128 are hinged to the opposite ends of the top panel 80c along fold lines 130,132, respectively.
  • End panel 126 includes a glue strip 134 defined by fold lines 136,138 and end panel 128 includes a glue strip 140 defined by fold lines 142 and 144.
  • the plue strips 90c,92c;134,140 are secured as previously lescribed in earlier embodiments to the undersides of the langes of the containers in the lower tier t 2 c, so that ipper side panels 82c,84c flank the exposed sides of the containers in the upper tier and the end panels flank the exposed sides of the endmost containers in the upper tier.
  • the embodiments described herein refer to gluing of :he 'glue strips' to the flanges of the containers in order o form the package, other means of securing the 'glue strips' o the containers are envisaged.
  • the blanks may be secured to the container 'langes by way of ultra-sonic welding or by laser welding.
  • the paperboard may be suitably treated at least in the areas of the 'glue strips' so that the requisite weld between the blank and container flanges is achieved.
