Definitions

  • the plastic liner comprises a somewhat over size bag to which is attached a filling and dispensing hose which may be of rubber, plastic or the like.
  • a filling and dispensing hose which may be of rubber, plastic or the like.
  • the present invention is directed to a further improvement in the carton structure, which provides space for the hose during shipment, and a ilat support for the bag on inversion after withdrawal of the dispensing hose end. More particularly the invention contemplates the employment of a carton, substantially square in girth,
  • the inside flaps of the illing and dispensing end which may be referred to as side aps, have a small portion of two adjacent front corners removed, to provide an aperture through which the hose and its attachment to the bag may project, and one of the outer aps, which may for convenience, be referred to as the front iiap, is provided with a perforated finger pull section overlying such aperture and capable of ready removal from the carton ap.
  • Space for the hose during shipment is provided by merely depressing the inner ilaps inwardly of the carton end to provide a broad base isosceles triangular sectioned space dened by the planar inside faces of the outer aps, and the adjacent outer faces of the inside side flaps, which are angularly disposed with respect to each other, by being depressed inwardly of the carton by an amount suicient to provide space for the hose of the carton.
  • the carton is readily iilled, following which the inner aps are folded in with the hose and attachment disposed in the aperture formed by the removed hap corners, after which the hose end is plugged and is laid along one of the flaps which are depressed slightly into the carton, after which the outside flaps are closed, and sealed by a single strip oi gummed tape.
  • the outer flap finger pull section is removed to provide an aperture for access to the hose, which is disposed between the inner and outer flaps, and which may then be drawn out through the outer flap aperture.
  • the inside flaps atten out against the outside iiaps and provide a ilat support bed for the bag end, while the hose end and portion of the bag attached thereto projects through the aperture formed by the removed corners of the inner' iiaps to form a funnel feeding into the dispensing hose.
  • the carton blank is readily formed, set up and lled with a minimum of effort and sealed by standard procedure. No threading of a tube through a flap or breast element aperture is required.
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective View of the front and one side of a carton with its upper aps open;
  • FIGURE 2 is a perspective View of the carton with a lled bag therein, with its dispensing hose, and the hose attachment portion of the bag disposed in portion after closing the side ilaps and depressing the same slightly into the Carton;
  • FIGURE 3 is a top plan view of a iilled carton, with the inner flaps closed and the outer ap open;
  • FIGURE 4 is a top plan view of a carton with parts broken away of a iilled and sealed carton, ready for shipment;
  • FIGURE 5 is a sectional view taken on line 5 5 of FIGURE 4;
  • FIGURE 6 is a sectional view of the same carton, inverted, and with its perforated front ap section removed and the dispensing tube withdrawn from the carton;
  • FGURE 7 is a plan view of a carton blank.
  • FIGURE 8 is a fragmentary sectional view of the container in dispensing position.
  • a carton 2t! with its bottom inside side iiaps closed, and the bottom front and rear outside flaps closed and sealed as by a strip of gummed adhesive tapeZZ.
  • the upper end of the carton has inside similar side iiaps 24 and 25 formed as extensions of the side walls 28 and 30, and outside front and back flaps 32 and 34 formed as extensions of the front and back walls 36 and 38 of the carton.
  • the flaps Zd and 26 have a corner removed as at 40 and 42 of substantially the shape shown, and the flap 32 is provided with a semicircular out out, push in portion, da integral with a perforated tear out portion 46 of generally keystone shape.
  • the box is formed from a box blank as shown in FP"- URE 7 wherein the two side, front and back walls are indicated at 28, 30, 36 and 38 respectively, with the bottom flaps 29, 31, 37 and 39 integral therewith.
  • a suitable and highly efiicient size carton from the standpoint of area of fiber board required, for holding 5 gallons liquid measure may have side panels approximately as shown, and in each case the side end flaps are rectangular and each pair such as 29 and 3i form a complete smooth fiat inner closure surface, and the flaps 37 and 39 form a complete smooth outer closure for the bottom, when the container is being filled and prepared for shipment.
  • the ilaps 24 and 25, except for the removed corners di) and 42 form a relatively complete and smooth inner closure for the upper end, and the iiaps 32 and 34 form a smooth external closure for the upper ends.
  • the blank has a narrow flap Si) adapted for attachment to the edge of panel 28, as by staples 32 or otherwise.
  • the carton is set up in the manner shown in FIGURE 1, and a tubular plastic liner '70, having a filling and dispensing hose 72 is placed within the carton.
  • the liner has greater girth andlength than the internal perimeter and height of the carton, and is placed within the carton collapsed or deflated, with the hose extending upwardout of the carton behind the front flap 32, and centrally in respect thereto.
  • the hose is connected to a vacuum filler apparatus, such as shown and described in copending application No...3,344 filed January 19, 1960, now Patent No.
  • the flaps 24 and 25 are depressed inwardly of the upper end of the carton as is indicated in FIGURES 2 and 5, the hose'laid along the Vmarker line 6d, and the outer flaps are ,thereafter folded over, and ⁇ a strip of adhesive tape 64 applied over the end and upper sides to seal the carton. It will be seen that by depressing the aps 24 angularly inwardly of the plane of the top opening, space forthe 'hose intheform of a shallow isosceles triangle is provided before sealing the outer end flaps 32 and 34.
  • VThe carton as thus provided does dequire G-pening, or the removal of adhesive Vtape, or any other operation akin to opening a carton,
  • the mere depression of the ager portion 44 and breaking away of the keystone section 46 from the Vfront flap, and the withdrawal of the tube and the bag attachment portion is all that is required for preparing the carton for dispensing.
  • the line 6G may be imprinted on the flap with instructions such as Lay tube along'line before sealing, so that an operator can hardly fail to follow the vcorrect procedure, and no problem of threading a hose lthrough a flap aperture is presented.
  • the package When the package is prepared for dispensing by Withdrawal of the hose Vthrough the outer flap aperture, the package is inverted and placed in a dispensing cab-inet, such as 9i) which may be refrigerated.
  • the hose end is extended through a pinch valve 92, and the plugged end of the hose may thereafter be removed below the valve.
  • the aperture 43 formed by the removal corners of the inner flaps 24 and 26, and the narrow end portion of the keystoneshaped access aperture 47 of the front flap 32 cooperate to conjointly provide a somewhat hexagonal opening with one side rounded, by reason of the rounded V apertureV 43 *formed by the removed corners of the inner aps.
  • ltube distends into the opening as at 94 forming a somewhat hemispherical shapedfunnel, which locates the attachment end of the hose completely below the surfaces of the inside flaps, which flatten out upon inversion.
  • the inside tiaps afford a level support surface for the bag end, such that substantially the entire contents of the bag Vmay be readily withdrawn'through the pinch valve controlled hose. lt will be understood that the bag collapses as liquid is withdrawn, and no air enters the bag.
  • the bag may be lformed of thin polyethylene in sheet form.
  • the bag may be formed of tubular sheet material, or a ifolded sheet of materialheatv sealed valong the edges remote from .the fold to form a tube or a two ply combination thereof.
  • the tube, or Vtubes thus formed may be heat sealed clear across the lower end, and across the upper lend to a point short of a folded side edge to leave an opening for the insertion of a small sanitary tube end of rubber, plastic
  • the bag ⁇ material :adjacent the opening may be gathered about the inserted tube end .and be tightly bound therearound by two convolutions of wire, the ends of which are twisted together in the process, or a plastic tube may be heat sealed to the gathered bag.
  • the tube -end may be stiffened against collapse due to the Wir-e banding, .by an internal rigid sleeve, or by providing the end section of relatively high durometer relatively rigid ma terial. VThe mere binding of .the ,polyethylene material vgathered about the hose end,in the manner described provide-s a liquid tight seal.
  • Last, but not least, accessto the carton 4for dispensing requires noV removal of any tape, and the Vsealing strips of 'gummed paper may preferably be ap- ⁇ plied in a permanent fashion. Access to the contents is had, by the mere removal of the perforated pull section and ywithdrawal of the hose end Vthrough the aperture thus provided.
