Definitions

  • the invention relates to a crate for bottles which crate includes a sleeve for displaying printed matter which is disposed around the outside of the crate.
  • Such crates are made from cardboard or plastics material.
  • the invention is particularly useful in relation to rigid plastics crates for carrying beer bottles. Typically such a crate contains four parallel rows of six bottles per row.
  • the outside of such bottle crates often bear a trade mark advertising the product contained within the articles which themselves are contained within the crates.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a crate sleeve which can be used to carry secondary printed matter, possibly of an advertising or trade mark nature, which can cover up the advertising literature printed directly on the crate.
  • US-A-4 373 627 relates to a plastics crate according to the preamble of claim 1 suitable for accommodating six bottles and which includes an outer sleeve of paperboard material in circumambient disposition about the outer faces of the crate.
  • the sleeve is secured in position either by locking tabs which are pushed into complementary locking apertures formed in the side walls of the crate or by tongues which engage in slots provided in the side walls of the crate.
  • a sleeve utilises locking flaps to engage in handle apertures provided by a crate.
  • a crate for bottles which crate includes a sleeve in circumambient disposition about the outer face of the crate, the sleeve comprises foldable interlocking means for locking co-operation with complementary means provided by the crate to hold the sleeve in position said crate interlocking means comprising a central foldable flap and two opposed marginal flaps on opposite sides of said central flap characterised in that said central flaps are sized to pass through a handle aperture in said crate and said marginal flaps are foldable relative to said central flaps and act to prevent said crate interlocking means from disengaging said crate handle aperture.
  • the crate sleeve is securely attached to a crate by interlocking the sleeve with handle apertures in the crate.
  • the sleeve provides the desired result of presenting secondary printed information over the information printed on the crate where this secondary information is reasonably securely attached but still allows it to be removed due to the nature of the sleeve.
  • said sleeve may comprise two or more like parts which are substantially structurally identical and which are secured together to form said sleeve.
  • each of said sleeve parts may comprise one of said crate interlocking means.
  • all the parts making up the sleeve may be initially cut from a single sheet of material and the parts frangibly joined to adjacent parts in the sheet of material.
  • This aspect of the invention allows the collapsed sleeve to be cut from a sheet of material whose width is approximately the length of any one part which makes up the sleeve.
  • the parts can be detached from one another and joined to form an erected crate sleeve without having to provide very large sheets of material and the consequent dimensionally large processing machinery such as sheet cutting apparatus.
  • the sleeve parts may be frangibly joined along their upper edge.
  • a crate sleeve 1 made from paperboard or similar foldable sheet material and which comprises two like parts 2 and 3 which comprise two main panels each.
  • the crate sleeve comprises four panels 10, 12, 14 and 16.
  • Part 2 comprises panels 10 and 12 which are foldably hinged along fold region 28 whilst part 3 comprises panels 14 and 16 which are foldably hinged along fold region 24.
  • Both parts 2 and 3 which further comprise a tab each, 30 and 32 respectively, which tabs are used to glue parts 2 and 3 together.
  • the securing means to secure parts 2 and 3 together is glue in combination with tabs, but it is envisaged that any known panel securing device or agents may be employed.
  • Tabs 30 and 32 are foldably hinged along fold regions 26 and 22 to panels 12 and 14 respectively.
  • the crate sleeve further comprises two crate interlocking means 36 and 38.
  • Interlocking means 36 comprises flaps 40, 42 and 44 whilst means 38 comprises flaps 50, 52 and 54. Flaps 42 and 44 are foldably joined to opposite ends of flap 40 and flap 40 is foldably joined to panel 14 along hinge 46. Flaps 52 and 54 are foldably joined to opposite ends of flap 50 and flap 50 is foldably joined to panel 12 along hinge 56.
  • FIG 1 the crate sleeve 1 is shown in a collapsed form where the two parts 2 and 3 are joined together along a longitudinal frangible score line 20, whilst Figure 2 shows the crate sleeve in a completed and erected formation.
  • Crate sleeve 1 can be cut from a single sheet of paperboard material which has a length approximately half the overall length of panels 10, 12, 14 and 16 laid end to end.
  • Frangible score line 20 can be broken, thus separating parts 2 and 3; tabs 30 and 32 can be glued to panels 16 and 10 respectively and hinge regions 22, 24, 26 and 28 also bent to create an erected crate sleeve of rectilinear configuration as shown in Figure 2.
  • carton sleeve 1 is positioned around a crate C but where the crate interlocking means 36 and 38 have not been located in a locking position.
  • Figure 4 shows the crate interlocking means inserted in the handle apertures A1 and A2 of the crate C. The interlocking means thereby provides the means by which the sleeve is supported and secured to the crate.
  • flaps 52 and 54 are folded into approximately a perpendicular position relative to flap 50. The length of flaps 52 and 54 is greater than the vertical height of aperture A2 and flaps 54 and 52 therefore act to secure the crate sleeve to the crate.
  • Flap 50 as shown is just less than the width of aperture A2 therefore allowing the overall interlocking means 38 to be inserted into aperture A2.
  • interlocking means 36 can be inserted in aperture A1 and means 36 also acts to lock the crate sleeve 1 to crate C.
