This invention relates to multipack packaging. More particularly, although not
exclusively, it discloses an improved form of packaging rings for beverage cans
and other like containers.
While it is common to use what is known in the packaging industry as six pack
rings to secure and transport beverage cans such existing packaging has
disadvantages. One important problem is that non-biodegradable plastic versions
of the rings are difficult to dispose of without degrading or polluting the
environment. Although single layer biodegradable paperboard or cardboard
versions are known the thickness required to achieve the strength to hold the
beverage cans makes printing indicia on the packaging difficult. With current six
pack rings there is also no convenient area for printing a bar code which can be
easily located and scanned.
It is therefore an object of this invention to ameliorate the aforementioned
disadvantages and accordingly multipack packaging rings are disclosed for
holding a plurality of beverage cans of a type having upper portions formed into
circular necks of reduced diameter which seal onto lids around circumferential
seams, said rings being formed by a foldable sheet material having in a first panel
thereof a first set of apertures with inwardly directed tabs which in use of the rings engage under said circumferential seams and in an adjoining second panel thereof a second set of substantially smooth edged apertures corresponding in layout to said first set whereby when said second panel is folded over along a line between said panels apertures of said second set correspond in position to respective ones of said first set and said second panel overlies and reinforces said first panel.
Preferably said sheet is of a thickness not exceeding .7 mm to facilitate printing.
It is further preferred that one of said sections is formed with a display tag which
is adapted in a position of use to extend downwardly from an edge thereof.
It is further preferred that the circumferential edges of said second set of apertures
are substantially smooth and are sized for a push fit over the seams.
It is further preferred that there are six apertures in each of said first and second
sets which are arranged in a rectangular array.
It is further preferred that finger holes are formed in said panels for carrying the
packaging rings.
In another aspect a flat blank is disclosed for constructing multipack packaging
rings, said blank being of foldable sheet material and including first and second
panels joined along a fold line, said first panel having a first set of apertures with
inwardly directed tabs forming an inside edge thereof and said second panel
having a second set of substantially smooth edged apertures corresponding in
layout to said first set.
In another aspect the invention also discloses a method of assembling said
multipack packaging rings, said method including the steps of:
- Pressing said first section down over the seams of an arrangement of
said cans corresponding to the position of said first set of apertures
whereby said tabs resiliently bend upwardly and outwardly before
displacement back to engage under said seams, and
- Folding said second panel along said line between the panels whereby
the apertures of said second set correspond in position to respective ones
of said first set and said second panel overlies and reinforces the first
panel.
One currently preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described with
reference to the attached representations in which:
Figure 1 is a plan view of a flat blank of foldable sheet for constructing
multipack packaging rings according to the invention,
Figure 2 is a perspective view showing one type of beverage can
for which the packaging rings may be used,
Figure 3 is a plan view of the first panel when placed over the lids
of a rectangular arrangement of six beverage cans of the
type shown in figure 2,
Figure 4 is a detailed view of the neck and lid of one of the beverage cans
of figure 3 which shows the engagement of the tabs of the
first panel located under the circumferential seam of said can.
Figure 4A is a another detailed view of said neck and lid of one of the
beverage cans with the second panel folded over,
Figure 5 is a perspective view of assembled multipack packaging
rings for a six pack of said beverage cans in accordance with
the invention , and
Figure 6 is a perspective view of a plate for pressing the panels over the
can lids when assembling the multipack packaging rings.
Referring first to figure 1 there is shown a flat blank 1 of foldable material. It is
preferably between .4 mm to .7 mm thickness to provide the necessary strength to
hold the beverage cans while still facilitating printing. Suitable material for the
blank may be paperboard, cardboard, card stock or other biodegradable materials
including plastics such as a biodegradable PLA film as would be known to a
person skilled in the art. With this embodiment the currently preferred material is
508ums/391 gms Custom Kote as produced by Westrock Packaging Systems of
Atlanta Georgia United States of America. The blank is die cut using known
methods and apparatus to form a set of circular apertures 2 arranged in a
rectangular array within a first panel section 1A. There are inwardly directed tabs
3 formed between notches 4 arranged around the circumference of these apertures
2. With this example of an embodiment for use with known 375 ml aluminium
drink cans as described below the diameter 4A of the apertures 2 as measured
between opposite inside edges of the tabs 3 may be 47.5 mm. The length 4B of the
tabs 3 in the radial direction may be 4 mm. The sheet further includes an adjoining
second panel section 5 of similar shape and size to panel 1A. Panel 5 is cut to form
a set of circular apertures 6 with smooth edges 7. These apertures 6 correspond in
arrangement to the aforementioned apertures 2 in panel 1A and with this embodiment which is intended for 375ml cans may have diameters 7A of 53 mm.
On one side panel 5 joins with panel 1A along a fold line 7B. The other side joins
a display tag 8 along another fold line 9. Both panels 1A and 5 preferably have
rounded corners 10.
An example of a 375ml aluminium beverage can for use with the invention, as
shown in figure 2, is a well known design as manufactured for example by
Visy Industries Australia Pty Ltd of Southbank Victoria 3006 Australia. It has a
one piece side wall 11 and bottom 12 which is stamped and pressed from a single
sheet of aluminium. The upper portion of the can is formed into a neck 13 of
reduced diameter and the top edge of the wall seals to the lid 14 along a
circumferential seam 15. The outside diameter of this seam with this embodiment
is 54 mm. so that the aforementioned apertures 6 are preferably a push fit
thereover.
To form the packaging rings panel 1A is first pressed down over the seams 15 of
an arrangement of cans corresponding to the position of the apertures 2 as shown
in figure 3. The diameters of the apertures 2 between the inside edges of opposite
tabs are, with this embodiment, preferably 6.5 mm less than the diameter of the
seam 15 so that as they are pressed down over the seam the tabs 3 are initially bent
in the region of their base 15A upwardly and outwardly before resiliently
displacing at least partially back to engage under said seam as shown in figure 4.
The cans are thereby held by the tabs 3 within the panel apertures 2 in accordance
with the invention. The second panel 5 is then folded over along line 7A (see
arrow A) so that the smooth edged apertures 6 push fit over respective ones of the
seams 15 whereby said panel 5 overlies and reinforces panel 1A underneath. As
shown in figure 4A the edges 7 of the apertures 6 also press inwardly against the
tabs 3 above their base 15A to hold and lock them under the seams 15. This novel
locking action secures the cans against accidental slippage out of the rings. The
display tag 8 may then be bend down along fold line 9 to locate at the front of the
multipack rings as shown in figure 5. This tag 8 is ideally placed for scanning of
bar codes or the display of other indicia. There may also be finger holes 16 along
the centre of the multi-pack packaging rings which align through both panels when
folded over. This folded over double layered construction for the rings according
to the invention provides improved packaging strength for lifting and transporting
the cans while still only requiring a relatively thin biodegradable sheet. This
facilitates printing and subsequent disposal of the packaging rings after use.
It is to be understood that the dimensions provided for the aforementioned
embodiment are given by way of nonlimiting illustrative example for a 375 ml
berverage cans and may change for other can sizes and designs without departing
from the scope of the invention.
It will also be understood that directional references used herein such as
"upper", "upwardly", "over", "bottom", "down", "downwardly" and the like refer
to the packaging rings in one position of use as illustrated and are not to be
construed as necessarily limiting.
A plate 17 as shown in figure 6 is also disclosed for simultaneously pressing the
panels apertures over the can seams. In this case there is a rectangular array of
apertures 18 with bevelled edges 19 on one face. When the sheet panels are
aligned over the cans and then pressed down with this plate the apertures 2 and 6
are quickly and neatly fitted over the seams. With high volume packaging
operations this plate would preferably be incorporated into a suitable mechanical
press.
It will thus be appreciated that this invention at least in the form of the
embodiment disclosed provides novel and improved multipack packaging rings for
beverage cans. The example disclosed however is only the currently preferred
form of the packaging rings and a variety of modifications may be made within the
scope of the invention. For example the number and arrangement of the cans
packaged by the rings may vary from the six-pack rectangular array shown. The
shape, size dimensions, configuration and placement of the apertures as well as the
shape and position of the display tag may all be changed in accordance with the size, design and number of the cans to carried by the packaging rings without departing from the scope of the invention.
