Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a package for mailing flat articles, such as diskettes, cassettes and thin books, said package being made of a package blank comprising a flat sheet of cardboard or paperboard including a rectangular mid-section defined by four bending lines, one along each side of the rectangle, and the sections of said sheet beyond the bending lines providing two side flaps and two end flaps, the side flaps having overlapping sub-areas adjacent their longer edges and end sections adjacent their shorter edges, the finished package having a border edge defined by said bending lines .
  • the invention relates also to a packaging method employing a package blank as described above.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a mailing package and a packing method which employ a package blank which is as simple and economical as possible and facilitates the automatic wrapping in a highly protective package, wherein the free movement of an article is prevented without internal paddings.
  • the package blank is intended for packaging or wrapping flat articles, such as diskettes, cassettes or thin books.
  • the package blank is a flat sheet of paperboard or cardboard, including a rectangular mid-section 1 defined by four bending lines 3, 5, one along each side of the rectangle.
  • the sheet sections beyond the bending lines 3 provide two side flaps 2 and the sections beyond the bending lines 5 provide two end flaps 4.
  • the mid-section 1 is provided with an address window 6.
  • Each flap 2, 4 provides a continuous, rigid surface area without any bending or folding cuts.
  • the result is not a box-shaped package but the edge portions of a finished package will have a V-shaped cross-section and, thus, the article is not able to move towards the narrowing edge.
  • This result can be achieved also by double bending lines 3 and 5 with the provision that the distance between bending lines in each pair of parallel lines is smaller than the thickness of a flat article to be packed.
  • the side flaps 2 defined by the longer bending lines 3 have a total width which exceeds the width of said rectangular mid-section 1.
  • the end flaps 4 may be short as such flaps are only needed for closing the flattened ends of a package.
  • the end flaps 4 have a parallelogram shape and the longer of the parallel sides of the parallelogram adjoins the bending line 5 which separates the end flap 4 from the rectangular mid-section 1. Thus, the corners of a package will be neat.
  • a station 12 contains two piles of stacked blanks. Vertical pins 13 hold the blanks in piles.
  • a suction pad conveyor 14 carries one blank at a time to a loading station 10, including two loading sections 15 and 16.
  • the first section 15 contains addressed invoice or other such forms 7 which are transferred by means of a suction pad advancer 9, 9a on top of the mid-section 1 of a blank.
  • the blank is advanced further in the form of a flat sheet into alignment with the second loading section 16, containing a diskette, a cassette or a book 8 which is carried by means of a transfer gear 11 on top of the mid-section 1 to a position determined by a stop abutment 11a.
  • the advancing of a blank can be effected on top of a conveyor belt or a roller table.
  • a sizing nozzle 17 is used for spraying adhesive adjacent to the free edge of one of the flaps 2.
  • the station 18 includes folding elements 19 for folding the side flaps 2, each along said one bending line 3, on top of an article to be wrapped and overlapping sub-areas 2a included in the side flaps adjacent their edges are pressed into contact with each other, whereby the side flaps 2 are subjected to a flexural stress between the bending line 3 and the sized overlapping sub-areas 2a.
  • the area defined by the outlines of an article 8 to be wrapped must be substantially smaller than the rectangular mid-section 1 defined by said bending lines 3, 5 in order to provide the edges of a package with triangular pockets which protect the edges and corners of a package.
  • the triangular shape of the edges prevent the article from moving in the package.
  • the package blank must be made of relatively stiff paperboard, cardboard or corrugated cardboard. It may be cut to a desired shape either by punching from a stack of rectangular sheets or by cutting from a continuous web. The latter approach facilitates the formation of bending lines on the same run but is nevertheless slower than punching in a stack.
