Description
CONTAINER WITH A HANDLE
Technical Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a container with a handle.
Background of the Invention
It is generally desirable to include a handle on containers such as open top cartons, trays and punnets to facilitate carrying.
Previously, a separate handle has been applied to an erected container in a separate step in the process of assembly. The separate handle increases the amount of parts to be handled and adds to the processing steps.
Other container include a handle incorporated in a carton with a closed top, for example, the Mac Donald's™ Happy Meal™ box. Product is enclosed in a closed top carton and tray. This type of container is useful when spillage can be an issue. However, the customer is unable to see the contents of the closed top package. Further, additional material is required on closed top designs to cover the top of the carton.
UK Patent application No. 2 259 908 A discloses a container with a single handle. In this design, the inside surface ends up on the outside when erected. This may not be aesthetically pleasing or comfortable in the hand of a user.
Built-in handles in 6-pack and 4-pack carriers are also available but these are commonly used in beverage carry packs for cans and bottles where the contents can or need to be kept separate from each other.
It is generally desirable to overcome or ameliorate one or more of the above mentioned difficulties, or at least provide a useful alternative.

C:\Interwoven\NRPortbl\DCC\TLD\l7992382_l.doc-14/l 1/2018
-6of each one of the side panels 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d, wherein the flaps 18 overlap so as to form a base 20 of the container 10;
(d) first and second locking members 22a, 22b coupled to respective upper sections 24a, 24b of the second 12b and fourth 12d side panels; and (e) first and second handles 26a, 26b extending between the locking members 22a, 22b.
Importantly, bridging sections 28a, 28b of the handles 26a, 26b are detached from upper sections 30 and 46 of the side panels 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d.
As particularly shown in Figures 5 and 6, the locking members 22a, 22b are generally triangular. Opposite ends 32a, 32b of each one of the handles 26a, 26b are wrapped inwardly in directions A, B, C and D around respective sides 34a, 34b of the triangular locking members 22a, 22b.
Bottom sides 34c of the triangular locking members 22a, 22b are outwardly wrapped in directions E and F around upper sections 24a, 24b of the second 12b and fourth 12d side panels so that their apexes 36a, 36b are seated in fixing slots 38a, 38b of the second 12b and fourth 12d side panels. As shown, the fixing slots 38a, 38b are smile shaped cut lines extending through respective second and fourth side panels. Alternatively, the fixing slots 38a, 38b could be any other suitable shape for receiving the apexes 36a, 36b and locking them therein.
As particularly shown in Figure 6, the first handle 26a is formed in first and second parts coupled together by a glue flap 40.
The bridging sections 28a, 28b are detached from respective upper sections 30 of the side panels 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d by breaking a plurality of connector tabs 42. As a result, the bridging sections 28a, 28b include outwardly facing detachment surfaces 44 that correspond with upwardly facing detachment surfaces 46 of the upper sections 30 of the sides panels 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d from which they were removed. The detachment surfaces 44 of the handles and the side panels 30 are preferably scalloped. However, any other suitable shape could be fashioned.
The connecting tabs 42 secure the handles 26a, 26b during manufacture and packing.
C:\Interwoven\NRPortbl\DCC\TLD\l7992382_l. doc-14/11/2018
-7When required, the handles 26a, 26b are broken away from the top edge 46 but retained and secured by a the triangular locking members 22a, 22b which function as webbed hinges. When the locking members 22a, 22b are folded out in directions E and F the handles 26a, 26b erect and form on each side of the top. The handles can be secured in place with a locking feature if required.
As particularly shown in Figure 3, the flaps 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d overlap and interlock so as to form the base 20 of the container 10.
With reference to Figures 7a to 7f, the container 10 is assembled from the blank 100 by performing the following steps:
(a) folding the flaps 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d up so as to overlie respective panels 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d;
(b) folding minor flaps 17 down so that they overlie respective flaps 16a, 16c;
(c) folding the first panel 12a over the second panel 12b in the manner shown in Figure 7b;
(d) folding the fourth panel 12d over the third panel 12c in the manner shown in Figure 7c;
(e) coupling the first panel 12a and the fourth 12d together with a fastener, such as an adhesive, and separating the panels 12a, 12b, 12b, 12c in the manner shown in Figure 7d so as to form a receptacle;
(f) detaching the bridging sections 28a, 28b from respective side panels 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d in the manner shown in Figure 7e; and (g) pushing apexes 36a, 36b of the locking members 22a, 22b outwardly in directions E and F around upper sections 24a, 24b of the second 12b and fourth 12d side panels.
As a result of step (g), opposite ends 32a, 32b of each one of the handles 26a, 26b wrap inwardly in directions A, B, C and D around respective sides 34a, 34b of the triangular locking members 22a, 22b in the manner shown in Figures 7e and 7f.

C:\Interwoven\NRPortbl\DCC\TLD\l7992382_l. doc-14/11/2018
-8The container 10 and the blank 100 are used in fibre-based Packaging, including folding carton boards, fluted cardboard and corrugated cardboard. In addition, the container 10 and the blank 100 can be applied to other packaging materials like plastic sheets and corrugated plastic sheets.
The outside surface of the blank 100 remains external after it is folded in to the container 10. As such, if printed the printed surface remains on the outside. Lends itself easily to printing as all of the exterior of the handle and container base are on the same plane.
Advantageously, the container 10 can be formed from the blank 100 on typical standard erector machines. No additional processes required.
Simply shape handle, cut and nick in place, assemble as open container 10 or punnet 10. User then chooses to erect handle if required. The webbed base of the handles can be tucked in at the sides if required. Side slits allow the handles to be tucked in.
Open-mouth containers 10 are envisaged with various base designs eg crash-lock base, snap-lock base, tuck-in base and flat and single-piece bases.
The container 10 can be manufactured on existing folding carton gluing equipment, including punnet erector and tray erectors.
The blank 100 obviates the need for separate handles to be supplied and applied or fixed to cartons, trays and punnets in a separate process.
The design of the blank 100 easily allows a variety of differently-shaped handles to be incorporated in the container without changing the process of manufacture and assembly.
Preferably, the side panels 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d of the container 10 are tapered. The angle of tapering is, for example, around 85 degrees.
The container 200 shown in Figures 8 to 11 is formed from the blank shown in Figures 12 and 13 in the manner shown in Figures 14a to 14e. The container 200 includes:
C:\Interwoven\NRPortbl\DCC\TLD\l7992382_l.doc-l4ZI 1/2018 (a) four side panels 202a, 202b, 202c, 202d coupled to and extending upwardly from respective sides of a base 204 such that first 202a and third 202c side panels in the series are opposed and second 202b and fourth 202d side panels in the series are opposed;
(b) pairs of flaps 206 respectively coupled to opposite ends 208a, 208b of the first 202a and third 202c side panels so as to at least partially overlie the second 202b and fourth 202d side panels; and (e) first and second handles 210a, 210b extending between the flaps of each pair of flaps 206.
Bridging sections 212 of the handles are detached from upper sections 214 of the first 202a and third 202c side panels.
As particularly shown in Figures 14a to 14e, the flaps 206 include generally triangular locking members 216 that are wrapped in direction G outwardly over respective second 202b and fourth 202d side panels so that their apexes 218 are seated in fixing slots 220 of the second 202b and fourth 202d side panels.
Fixing slots 220 are smile shaped cut lines extending through respective second 202b, and fourth 202d side panels.
As shown in Figure 12, the bridging sections 212 are detached from respective upper sections 214 of the first 202a and third 202c side panels by breaking a plurality of connector tabs 222. As shown in Figure 14d, the bridging sections 212 of the handles 210a, 210b include outwardly facing detachment surfaces 224 that correspond with upwardly facing detachment surfaces 226 of the upper sections 214 of the sides panels from which they were removed.
The container 200 also includes corner sections 228 coupling the pairs of flaps 206 to respective ends 208a, 208b of the first 202a and third 202c side panels.
With reference to Figures 14a to 14e, the container 200 is assembled from the blank
300 by performing the following steps:
C:\Interwoven\NRPortbl\DCC\TLD\l7992382_l. doc-14/11/2018 (a) folding the side panels 202a, 202b, 202c, 202d up from the base in the manner shown in Figures 14a and 14b so that flaps 206 overlie the second 202b and fourth 202d side panels;
(b) detaching the bridging sections 212 from respective side panels 202a, 202b, 202c, 202d in the manner shown in Figure 14c;
(g) pushing apexes 218 of the locking members 216 outwardly in directions X and Y around upper sections 214 of the second 202b and fourth 202d side panels.
In performing step (g), opposite ends 230 of each one of the handles 212 wrap inwardly around respective sides of the triangular locking members 216 in the manner shown in Figure 14c.
The apexes 218 are preferably seated in fixing slots 220 of the second 202b and fourth 202d side panels.
The flaps 206 each include a slot 207 positioned behind the fixing slots 220 when the container 200 is erected. The slots 207 facilitate easier insertion of apexes 218 into the fixing slots 220. That is, the slots 207 do not bear against the apexes 218 when they are inserted onto to the fixing slots 220.
Many modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.
