Definitions

  • the present invention relates to container mounting systems which include mounting brackets to mount containers, such as containers used for dispensing wiper materials and to containers adapted to be mounted onto the bracket.
  • Brackets for mounting of containers to surfaces are generally known as exemplified by the following publications:
  • a primary disadvantage with conventional mounting brackets for mounting a container of the type having plural wiper sheet materials therein is that the container may not always be securely mounted onto the bracket.
  • the container mounted onto conventional brackets may be prematurely dislodged from the bracket during normal usage.
  • This problem is particularly acute when the container is used as a means to dispense sheet materials such as tissues, wiper sheets or the like since forces transmitted to the container during manual dispensation of the sheets tends to cause the container to be dislodged somewhat from the bracket.
  • Such a loose-fitting relationship between the container and conventional mounting brackets may therefore be a source of irritation to a user.
  • a container is securely captured when in a mounted position by virtue of a nip area defined between the mounting flanges of the present invention and the back plate member.
  • the nip area serves to capture a portion of the container therein so that the separation forces mentioned above can be resisted while yet permitting the container to be removed from the mounting bracket when desired.
  • the present invention provides a sharp edge extended into the space between the mounting flange and the back plate member so that the sharp edge penetrates a portion of the container to similarly resist separation forces.
  • smoothly rounded or arcuate surfaces extend into the space defined between the mounting flanges and the rear plate member so that when the container is moved in a direction to mount it onto the mounting flanges, the surfaces will bias the wall of the container adjacent the rear plate member in a direction away from the obstruction.
  • the biased container wall is guided around and over the securing element head thereby preventing the head from obstructing the easy mounting of the container onto the bracket.
  • the container of the present invention includes opposing pairs of side walls to define a cavity to house therein wiper sheet material, for example.
  • a linear array of alternating cut and uncut portions is provided on one wall of the container so as to be in registry with the mounting flange of the mounting bracket when the container is desired to be mounted thereon.
  • the term cut portion is intended to encompass perforations in the container wall which not only completely penetrate the thickness of the wall but also partially penetrate into the wall thickness.
  • the linear array preferably includes between about 20% to about 80% of cut portions so that between about 8 to about 35 pounds force are required to be exerted upon the container during mounting thereof onto the mounting bracket.
  • the mounting bracket 10 generally includes a rear plate member 12 which is preferably planar so as to be placed against a rigid surface 14 (see FIGURE 5) to secure mounting bracket 10 thereto.
  • Mounting bracket 10 can be formed of any rigid material such as metal, plastic or the like.
  • a pair of mounting flanges 16, 18 are rigidly secured to plate member 12 by means of bottom wall 20 so that each mounting flange 16, 18 is disposed in an upright manner substantially parallel to plate member 12.
  • a space 22 will thus be defined between mounting flanges 16, 18 on the one hand and rear plate member 12 on the other hand to accept therein one wall 24 of container 26 (see FIGURE 5).
  • Mounting bracket 10 can be rigidly secured to surface 14 by means of any conventional securing element such as, for example, screw B having head A as shown in FIGURE 5.
  • Other conventional securing elements having heads such as bolts, nails, rivets or the like can also be satisfactorily utilized to secure bracket 10 to surface 14.
  • other non-head securing elements such as double-sided adhesive tape, adhesive or the like, could also be satisfactorily used as the means to secure bracket 10 to surface 14, if desired.
  • a pair of mounting apertures 28, 30 are defined in rear plate member 12 so as to accept screw B therethrough.
  • mounting apertures 28, 30 are slotted in that elongated apertures 32, 34 are provided for each mounting aperture 28, 30, respectively.
  • Elongated apertures 32, 34 have a width dimension less than the diameter of apertures 28, 30 and thus permit the head A of screw B to bear against rear plate member 12 to securely mount bracket 10 to surface 14.
  • Mounting flanges 16, 18 include rib members 36 so as to increase the structural rigidity of mounting flanges 16, 18.
  • rib members 36 are vertically provided on mounting flanges 16, 18 so that flexion of flanges 16, 18 in a direction away from rear plate member 12 due to the weight of container 26 is resisted.
  • rib members 36 are integrally formed indentations in mounting flanges 16, 18 but could also be separate member rigidly secured thereto.
  • enlarged apertures 33, 35 are defined in flange members 16, 18 in registry with apertures 28/32 and 30/34.
  • a pair of downwardly divergent edges 38, 40 are defined on each mounting flange 16, 18 to penetrate the container 26 which is typically formed of heavy basis weight material such as corrugate box board solid fiber board or like material.
  • edge pairs 38, 40 function so as to penetrate wall 37 (see FIGURE 5) of container 26 so as to mount container 26 onto flanges 16, 18.
  • flanges 16, 18 are preferably upwardly tapered by means of upwardly converging edges 42, 44 so that a slot initially formed in container wall 37 by virtue of the downwardly divergent edges 38, 40 of flanges 16, 18 will become increasingly longer in dimension as container 26 is downwardly moved onto flanges 16, 18.
  • manipulable securing elements are intended to be utilized as the means to secure bracket 10 to surface 14.
  • the head A of wood screw B for example, is disposed in space 22 when bracket 10 is mounted to surface 14.
  • screw head A presents an obstruction in mounting container 26 onto flanges 16, 18. That is, the edge 61 of container 26 defined by walls 24 and 37 tends to abut against screw head A thereby obstructing container 26 from being easily mounted onto flanges 16, 18.
  • the present invention provides guide members 50 associated with rear plate member 12 and disposed in space 22 so as to be above screw heads A but in alignment therewith when bracket 10 is mounted to surface 14.
  • the guide members 50 establish convexly curved surfaces but other geometrically-shaped surfaces such as, for example, downwardly inclined ramp surfaces, concave surfaces or the like, can be advantageously utilized.
  • Guide members 50 serve to outwardly displace wall 24 of container 26 thereby biasing wall 24 away from screw head A when a user first mounts container 26 onto mounting flanges 16, 18 thereby preventing screw head A from obstructing the mounting procedure.
  • each mounting flange 16, 18 includes capturing members 52, 54 preferably positioned at the lower end of each flange member 16, 18, respectively so as to be disposed in space 22.
  • capturing members 52, 54 provide the means by which forces acting on the container in an upward direction are resisted while yet permitting removal of the container from bracket 10 when desired.
  • container 26 preferably includes wall 37 in which a perforated score line 64 is formed to define panel 66. Upon removal of panel 66, an opening 67 is provided to thereby permit the user to gain access to the contents of container 26, the contents preferably being wiper sheet material 68 as shown in FIGURE 9.
  • Wall 37 also preferably includes a linear array of first and second perforation groupings 70, 72, respectively, each of which is established by alternating cut portions 73a and uncut portions 73b. First and second perforation groupings 70, 72 register with flanges 16, 18 so as to facilitate the mounting of container 26 thereon.
  • a user manually positions container 26 such that perforated score lines 70, 72 are disposed in respective alignment with flanges 16, 18 as shown in FIGURE 7. Thereafter, the user forceably presses container 26 in a direction indicated by arrow 74 in FIGURE 8 so as to bring edges 38, 40 into engagement with score lines 70, 72. Due to the downwardly diverging nature of edges 38, 40, the wall 37 of container 26 is pierced at first and second perforation groupings 70, 72 such that upon further downward movement (arrow 76) of container 26, mounting flanges 16, 18 will penetrate into the interior of container 26 until the mounted position is achieved as shown in FIGURE 9.
  • wall 24 of container 26 will be disposed in space 22 defined between mounting flanges 16, 18 and rear plate member 12.
  • capturing members 52 associated with mounting flanges 16, 18 capture a portion of the container 26 in nip area 62 so that forces in a direction tending to separate container 26 from mounting brackets 16, 18 (e.g. in a direction opposite to arrow 76) are resisted while yet permitting the user to remove container 26 from mounting flanges 16, 18 by exerting sufficient force in a direction opposite to arrow 76 when desired.
  • panel 66 can be removed to define opening 67 thereby permitting the wiper sheet material 68 to be dispensed therefrom.
  • Bracket 10 preferably includes lower flange 74 integral with and recessed relative to mounting flanges 16, 18.
  • Lower flange 74 is rigidly joined to the lower portion of rear plate member 12 so as to increase the structural rigidity of mounting flanges 16, 18.
  • lower flange 74 provides a convenient surface on which indicia such as corporate logo 76 (see FIGURE 1) can be placed.
  • FIGURES 10-17 depict further embodiments of the present invention and structures shown therein equivalent to the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGURES 1-5 have been noted with like reference numerals. Accordingly, the description of such equivalent structures will not be repeated below.
  • an additional embodiment of mounting bracket 10 defines a pair of inwardly converging edges 80, 82 joining edge 44 of mounting flange 16 and edge 42 of mounting flange 18 so as to aid in the separation of perforated score lines 70, 72 (see FIGURE 7) when container 26 is mounted onto flanges 16, 18.
  • cut-out portions 84, 86 are semi-circular in configuration and inwardly bent into space 22 along a substantially vertical line. In such a manner, the arcuate edges 88 of cut-out portions 84, 86 will function in a manner similar to guide members 50 described above with respect to the embodiment of FIGURES 1-5.
  • teeth 90, 92 are provided in rear plate member 12 and disposed in space 22. Teeth 90, 92 each define pointed edge 94 to bite into wall 24 of carton 26 when carton 26 is in a mounted position as shown in FIGURE 18. Accordingly, pointed edge 94 penetrates into a portion of wall 24 so as to resist forces exerted on container 26 in a direction tending to separate it from mounting flanges 16, 18.
  • the embodiment of the present invention depicted in FIGURES 14-17 includes a front plate member 96 having bevelled upper corners 100, 102. Corners 100, 102 function in a manner similar to edges 38, 40 of the embodiments of FIGURES 1-5 and 10-13 in that they aid in the piercing of container 26. Since front plate member 96 defines a substantially horizontal upper edge 104, it is preferred that score lines 70, 72 be extended along the substantial width of container 26 so as to establish a relatively continuous score line thereacross.
  • FIGURES 14-17 includes cut-out portions 84, 86 which are disposed interiorly of elongated apertures 32 rather than in vertical alignment therewith as was described above with respect to the embodiment of FIGURES 1-5. Nonetheless, cut-out portions defining arcuate surfaces 88 will function in a similar manner in that wall 24 of container 26 will be biased away from screw head A when container 26 is moved in a mounting direction (arrow 76 in FIGURE 8) thereby preventing screw head A from obstructing the mounting procedure.
  • the container in which the wiper sheets are housed prior to use and from which serial dispensation of the wiper sheets occurs during use forms the second component of the container mounting system of the present invention.
  • the container mounting system In order for the container mounting system to perform its intended functions, the container must be capable of storing the wiper sheets separately of the mounting bracket (such as during transport of the container) and yet present the user with little difficulties when a container having a fresh supply of wiper sheets is mounted onto the mounting bracket.
  • a container for use in combination with the mounting bracket described above is provided such that the integrity of the container is maintained during handling and shipping of the container while yet permitting a user to easily install the container onto the mounting bracket.
  • container 26 of the present invention includes a linear array of first and second perforation groupings 70, 72 each of which is established by alternating cut and uncut portions 73a, 73b, respectively.
  • First perforation grouping 70 is disposed in wall 37 so as to be registrable with flange 16 while second perforation grouping 72 is disposed in wall 37 so as to be registrable with flange 18 of mounting bracket 10.
  • the linear array of first and second perforation groupings 70, 72 are substantially parallel to edge 61 which is defined by the intersection of mutually perpendicular walls 37 and 24. Moreover, the linear array of first and second perforation groupings 70, 72 are spaced from edge 61 by a dimension D which is less than or equal to the cross-sectional dimension of space 22 defined between backplate 12 and flanges 16, 18. In such a manner, wall 24 of container 26 is accepted in space 22 when container 26 is mounted upon flanges 16, 18.
  • the container 26 is constructed of a sufficiently strong material which protects the contents from damage.
  • Particularly preferred materials for the container of this invention include 125-lb. and 200-lb. test corrugate board although solid fiber board of sufficient basis weight (e.g. at least 18-point solid fiber board) could also be advantageously used.
  • Conventional forming techniques are used to fashion the container of the present invention.
  • a container blank is cut from an integral piece of box board and then folded so as to erect the container. Suitable known adhesives, tapes, staples, integral folds or like means are then used to join adjacent panels of the erected container.
  • a preferred container of this invention exhibits a length dimension of about 10 1/2 inches, a width dimension of about 4 3/4 inches, and a height dimension of about 8 1/4 inches.
  • the linear array of first and second perforation groupings 70, 72 are important to the container of the present invention to achieve the functional advantages briefly mentioned above; that is, to ensure that the integrity of the container is maintained during handling or shipping thereof separately from the mounting bracket in addition to ensure that the user encounters little difficulty in mounting the container into the bracket.
  • the container of the present invention achieves such functional advantages by dimensioning the cut portions 73a such that the percentage of the cut portions 73a relative to the uncut portions 73b of the linear perforation array is between about 20% to about 8096, e.g. as established by the following formula:
  • the user need only apply a force in the direction of arrow 76 in FIGURE 8 of between about 8 lbs-force to about 35 lbs-force to achieve mounting of the container 26 onto bracket 10.
  • the amount of force required to be exerted in the direction of arrow 76 in FIGURE 8 is also a measure of the integrity of the linear array of perforation groupings 70, 72. That is, below about 8 lbs-force (which corresponds to a percent cut portion in excess of about 80%), the container exhibits a tendency to separate along the linear array of perforation groupings 70, 72 during handling prior to use.
  • container 26 was primarily directed to mounting of container 26 onto the embodiment of bracket 10 having a pair of mounting flanges (e.g. mounting flanges 16, 18), the reader should appreciate that the above description is similarly applicable to a mounting bracket having a unitary mounting flange (for example, flange 96 of the embodiment of FIGURES 14-17) or more than a pair of mounting flanges.
  • a mounting bracket having a unitary mounting flange (for example, flange 96 of the embodiment of FIGURES 14-17) or more than a pair of mounting flanges.
  • first and second perforation groupings 70, 72 are depicted in the accompanying drawings as being formed in wall 37 of container 26 adjacent to panel 66, the reader should also appreciate that cut and uncut portions 73a, 73b, respectively, can be formed in any wall of container 26 so as to present opening 67 and thus wiper sheet material 68 at a desirable location for the user. Also, multiple linear arrays of cut and uncut portions can be provided so as to present the user with a choice of wiper dispensing positions (e.g. top, side or bottom dispensing positions).
