Definitions

  • ABSTRACT top panels is designed such that it may be interlocked with the bottom panel and with one or more of the articles.
  • the crown-support carriers do not suffer from the same disadvantages as the wrap-around and basket style carriers; however, these type carriers do not lend themselves to use with articles such as bottles, and the like, since carriers afford little or no support at or near the bottom of the carried articles. Moreover, it has been particularly difficult to fashion prior art carriers of this type from paper, paperboard or like materials.
  • a carrier prepared from a blank comprising a bottom panel containing means for securing said bottom panel to the carried articles; such as apertures surrounded by starburst cuts, which apertures are located at points corresponding to the location of the articles to be'packaged.
  • the starburst surrounded apertures are forced down over the bottle until the overlapping sections pass the crown or similar projection and engage in a near vertical position under said crown or projection thereby imparting vertical, lateral and longitudinal support to the package.
  • Said blank also comprises side panels and interlocking top panels.
  • the blank When the carrier of the present invention is to be used for packaging more than a single longitudinal row of articles, the blank will comprise crown-cover panels and interlocking top panels which may be depressed so as to engage and lock under the inside edge of the crowns of similar projections of the articles packaged in said carrier thereby providing additional vertical, lateral and longitudinal support to the package.
  • FIG. 1 is a plane view of a unitary blank cut and scored in a manner necessary to the formation of a carrier as shown in FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a typical package embracing the present invention
  • FIG. 3 is a partial end view showing the initial steps required in the assembly of the package as shown in FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is also a partial end view showing the position of the carrier with one step remaining to complete the erection thereof as shown in FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 5 is a partial end view of the package shown in FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 6 is a partial plain view showing an alternate embodiment of the unitary blank shown in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 7 is a partial end view of a typical package as erected from the blank shown in FIG. 6.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a unitary sheet of blank material which is cut and scored so as to define the bounds of the various panels and other elements on a carrier within the scope of the present invention.
  • the blank may be prepared from paper, paperboard, polymeric materials, etc.
  • the bottom panel, 1 is pivotally connected to side panels, 2 and 3, respectively, along scored fold lines 4 and 5.
  • the side panels are disposed at the lateral edges of the bottom panel.
  • the side panels, 2 and 3 are also pivotally connected, along longitudinally extending scored fold lines 6 and 7, to crown-cover panels, 8 and 9.
  • the crown-cover panels, 8 and 9 are also pivotally connected, along longitudinally extending scored fold lines 10-10 and 11-11, to top panels, 12 and 13.
  • Top panel, 12 is divided by longitudinally extending scored fold lines, 14-14 and 15, so as to define crownlocking panels 16 and 17.
  • Top panel, 13 is also divided, along longitudinally extending scored fold line 18, so as to define crown-locking panel, 19. As will be pointed out more fully, hereinafter, this further division of top panels, 12 and 13, enable these panels to be depressed into a locked position.
  • the bottom panel, 1, as shown in FIG, 1, comprises apertures 20-20 and 21-21, which apertures define theinner boundaries of a series of small, adjacent panels, 22-22 and 23-23, respectively.
  • the small, adjacent panels, 22-22 and 23-23 are further defined, respectively, by starburst cuts 24-24 and 25-25, and scored fold lines, 26-26 and27-27, which, respectively, define the outer boundaries of panels 22-22 and 23-23.
  • starburst apertures For convenience, the combination of cut and scored lines which define apertures, 20-20 and 21-21, and adjacent panels 22-22 and 23-23, will be referred to, herein, as starburst apertures. It should be appreciated that although the starburst apertures, as illustrated, are surrounded by 6 adjacent panels, the term as defined is intended to include any number of panels which may or may not be of uniform size.
  • the bottom panel, 1, as shown in FIG. 1, also comprises apertures, 28-28, which apertures, in part, define locking bars 29-29. Moreover, the bottom panel, 1, is cut so as to define additional locking bars, 30-30.
  • the crown-cover panels, 8 and 9, comprise crowncovers, 31-31 and 32-32.
  • the crown-cover panels, 31-31 and 32-32, are cut so as to define, respectively, locking edges, 33-33 and 34-34.
  • Top panel, 12, as shown in FIG. 1, comprises apertures, 28'-28', which apertures are positioned such that they will become aligned with apertures 28-28 when the blank is erected so as to provide a carrier having a double thickness of board throughout the handle area. It will be appreciated that the apertures, 28-28 and 28'-28', cooperate so as to afford means whereby the erected carrier may be lifted and carried.
  • the top panel, 12, as shown in FIG. 1, also comprises cut lines, 35-35 and 36-36, which define, respectively, locking tabs, 37-37 and 38-38. As will be shown more fully, hereinafter, locking tabs 37-37 and 38-38 cooperate with locking bars 29-29 and 30-30 so as to secure the carrier in an erected position.
  • top panel, 13 is cut-away along cut lines, 39-39, so as to avoid interference with the lifting means provided by apertures 28-28 and 28'-28'.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a package embracing said invention.
  • the bottom panel, 1 is positioned below the crowns, 40-40 and 41-41. This position is achieved, though not shown, by forcing the crowns 40-40 and 41-41, respectively, through apertures 20-20 and 21-21.
  • the bottom panel, 1, is positioned sufficiently below the crowns 40-40 and 41-41 so as to enable the inner edges of the adjacent panels, 22-22 and 23-23, which are defined by starburst cuts, to lock under said crowns.
  • side panels, 2 and 3 are pivoted along scored fold lines 4 and 5 and extend upwardly from said bottom panel.
