Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cardboard blank for packing and transporting a number of packages in the form of cups of the kind having an outbent flange at the top, the lid of the cup having a corresponding flange.
  • Cardboard blanks of the said kind are known, being designed for holding a number of cups, for example four, two being placed on top of the remaining'two, the blank being assembled to form a cover which-is open'at both ends and has cuts or punched tongues, or both, serving to fix the cups in the cover.
  • the object of the invention is to, provide a blank of the said kind, for which the consumption of cardboard in forming a cover for a given number of the'cups is substantially reduced as compared to the known blanks referred to above.
  • a cardboard blank according to the invention is divided by parallel score lines into a central panel and two side panels with attached flaps, the central panel having two or more openings of a shape and size corresponding to the cross section of thecups just below the outbent flange, cuts being made in the sidepanels in alignment with the openings in the central panel toform tongues the base of each of which is one of the score lines between the side panel and the flap attached thereto, and is of a length substantially equal to the width of the lids of the cups, whereas the side panels are so wide that the height of a triangle, the base of which is equal to the width of the central panel, and the sides of which are equal to the width of the side panels, is substantially equal to the height of the cups to be packed.
  • the consumption of cardboard is reduced to about one half.
  • a preferred embodiment of the cardboard blank of the invention is characterized in thatthe tongues in the side panels are each of a shape and size corresponding to that of half of the lid of one of the cups, and that slots cut away in the side panels at the tips of the tongues are so shaped that the slot edges contact the sidewalls of cups enclosed in the folded blank.
  • FIG. I is a plan view of a cardboard blank
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a cover for four cups; made from said blank;
  • FIG. 3 is an end view of the cover ofFlG. 2.
  • the cardboard blank shown in plan view in FIG. 1 is divided by means of score lines 5, 6, 7, and 8, into a central panel 9 and two side panels 10 and 11 with attached flaps l2 and 13.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate the use of the cardboard blank as a cover and package for four cups 18, for example cups for salad or cheese spread.
  • the cups 18 are in this case shaped somewhat as truncated pyramids, but could also be of truncated cone shape provided that the cutaway parts 14, tongues 15 and slots 16 are of a corresponding shape.
  • the cups 18 each have an outbent flange 9, and are closed by a flat lid which may have a central depression fitting into the top of the cup.
  • the two further cups 18 are placed on the lids of the first-inserted cups, and the side panels It) and II are folded upward to form a triangular cover together with the central panel 9, the flaps l2 and 33 being brought into contact with one another.
  • the tongues 15 are bent upward perpendicular to the flaps l2 and 13 to rest upon and cover the lids of the cups in the top layer, whereas the edges of the cutaway slots 16 each contact part of the body of a cup to fix its position so that it cannot be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the cover.
  • the cutouts which result from forming the tongues I5 are of a width corresponding to the width of the tops of the cups, so that the latter are engaged frictionally in the cutouts and the triangular configuration of the cover is maintained without any necessity of gluing or otherwise uniting the flaps I2 and 13.
  • the adjoining sides of said flaps may carry a layer of a pressure-sensitive adhesive, so that they can be united by a pressure, or they may be united otherwise, as for example by a clip or by means of adhesive tape.
  • the side panels 10 and II areof such width that they form with the base panel 9 a cover having the cross section of a triangle which is equal in height to the height of the cups to be packed.
  • Cutouts 17 are provided in the flaps l2 and I3 toform a handle for the completed package.
  • the cardboard blank may also be of greater length so as to accommodate three or more of the openings 14, enabling the packing of six, eight or more of the cups l8.
  • a cover sleeve according to claim I wherein the cup-engaging formations in the sidewall panels comprise respective cutout tongues in alignment with the opening in the base panel and hingeable out of the planes of the sidewall panels about score lines parallel with the first-mentioned score lines, the widths of the tongues being substantially equal to the width of the second cup from one rim flange edge to the other, so that cutouts in the sidewall panels which result from forming the tongues are of width corresponding to the width of the cup from one rim flange edge to the-other and receive and retain the cup.
