Definitions

  • This invention relates to paperboard devices for retaining a plurality of bottles which have a neck and a projecting annular rim.
  • An example of such a bottle is a PET (Polyethyleneterephthalate) bottle for beverages.
  • a paperboard device for retaining a plurality of bottles having a projecting annular rim at a location on the neck of the bottle, the device comprising a top panel having a plurality of apertures arranged in a row along its length for receiving the bottle necks, each aperture having formations for engagement and retention below the annular rim, a pair of lengthwise extending angled panels hingedly connected at opposite side edges of the top panel and a pair of lengthwise extending side panels hingedly connected at opposite side edges of the respective angled panels so as in use to lie against the bottles, said side panels having end extensions which in use extend around and follow the contours of the end bottles and which are adhesively secured.
  • end extensions at each end of the pack are adhesively secured together. In other embodiments the end extensions at each end are adhesively secured to an end flap which is hingedly connected to the top panel between the angled panels and which, in use, is folded down over the shoulder of its adjacent end bottle.
  • the end extensions are provided with multiple creases to assist the following of the bottle contours.
  • said creases and said side panels are, in use, substantially vertical.
  • end extensions have portions which in use extend upwardly above the hinge lines between the side panels and angled panels. With some embodiments said portions in use extend up to the level of the top panel.
  • the formations in the apertures comprise a number of inwardly projecting flaps and also that handle apertures are provided in the angled panels and/in the top panel. In other arrangements further rows of apertures may be provided.
  • Figure 1 shows a paperboard blank 10 for producing a device 11 as shown in figure 2 for retaining a plurality of bottles 12 having a neck with an annular rim 13 projecting therefrom.
  • the bottles 12 also have shoulders 14 leading from the neck to the side walls 15. Examples of such bottles are PET bottles but other bottles could also be used with the present invention with some modifications where necessary.
  • the blank 10 has a top panel 16 having along its length three aligned, equally spaced apertures 17 for receiving the bottle necks.
  • Four flaps 18 project into each aperture 17 in order to engage below the rims 13 of the bottles 12.
  • the flaps 18 remain hingedly connected to the top panel 16 by way of curved folds 19.
  • Hingedly connected to opposite side edges 20 of the top panel 16 are angled panels 21 which may incorporate optional push through handle flaps 22. Alternatively handle holes or flaps may be provided in the top panel 16.
  • Hingedly connected to opposite side edges 23 of the angled panels 21 are side panels 24.
  • Hingedly connected to each side panel 24 at the ends thereof are a pair of oppositely disposed end extensions 25 each of which incorporate a number of optional creases 26 which are substantially perpendicular to side edges 23.
  • an end flap 27 Hingedly connected to and projecting from the top panel 16, at each end thereof, is an end flap 27 which has an angled part 28 and an attachment part 29.
  • the flat blank 10 is aligned over the tops of the bottles 12, three PET bottles in this embodiment.
  • the blank 10 is then lowered over the bottles 12 so that the necks push through the apertures 17 in the top panel 16, deflecting the flaps 18 upwardly about the folds 19 until the flaps 18 snap resiliently back under the rims 13. The action prevents the bottles from becoming detached accidentally, for example during carrying of the finished device.
  • the angled panels 21 are then guided down over the shoulders 14 of the bottles and the side panels are guided so as to be against the side walls 15 of the bottles 12. It will be appreciated that the height of the side panels is optional and the side panels can carry significant information or advertisement or other graphic images.
  • the end extensions 25 of the side panels 24 are then folded around the end bottles in close engagement with the contours of the side walls 15 of the end bottles 12.
  • the end flaps 27 are then hinged downwardly so that the angled parts 28 lie against the shoulders 14 and the attachment parts 29 are secured with adhesive to the end extensions 25 of the side panels 24. It will be understood that the creases 26 assist this contouring of the end extensions 25 around the bottles.
  • the result is a simple, clip style retaining device for a plurality of bottles.
  • the device uses minimal board yet displays good strength and pack integrity.
  • FIG. 3 shows a blank 110 for a slightly different version of the device. Most parts have a similar form and function to those described above and so have been given identical reference numerals. These parts will not be described again in detail.
  • the end flaps 27 have been omitted from the blank 110 and the top panel 16 extends slightly beyond both end apertures in the lengthwise direction.
  • the end edges 40 of the top panel 16 are curved somewhat so as to approximate to the curve of the side walls 15 of the bottles 12.
  • the end extensions 25 of the side panels 24 have upper portions 42 which when assembled tend to follow the end edges 40 of the top panel 16 and also the angled end edges 41 of the angled panels 21.
  • bottles 12 could be arranged in single or multiple rows.
