Brief Description of the Drawings An embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: FIGURE 1 is a plan view of a blank for forming a carton according to a preferred embodiment of the invention; 'i S[R* 4568speci doc:keh [R \L[BLL] 14568spei.doc~keh s~ FIGURE 2 is an underside plan view of the blank shown in Figure 1; FIGURE 3 illustrates an isometric view of the carton formed from the blank illustrated in Figure 1 shown during folding; and FIGURE 4 is a cross-sectional view X-X of the carton formed from a blank shown in Figure 3.
Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments Referring first to Figure 1 there is shown a blank 10 for forming a collapsible tray or carton made from one or more blanks of paperboard or similar foldably sheet material. The blank 10 comprises first side panel 12, base panel 14, and second side panel 16 hingably connected together in series along fold lines 18, 20 respectively. These further comprises opposed end panels 22, 24 hingably connected to opposite lateral edges of outer base panel 14 along fold lines 28, 30 respectively.
When the tray is in a set up condition, base panel 14 includes a double skinned zone, which in this embodiment, is formed by one or more panels. Preferably, the double skinned zone extends into the or each side and end walls 12, 16, 22, 24. In this embodiment, the double skinned zone is provided by side support panels 32, 34 foldably connected to side panels 12 and 16 by fold lines 36, 38 respectively. There may further comprise end support panels 40, 42 foldably connected to end panels 22, 24 along fold lines 44, 46. Optionally, side support panels 32, 34 include fold lines 46, 50 respectively spaced from and parallel to fold lines 18, 20 respectively to define portions 49 and 51.
Each portion 49 and 51 substantially correspond to the height and/or shape of side panels 12, 16 respectively. Likewise, end support panels 40, 42 may include fold lines 52, 54 respectively spaced from and parallel to fold lines 36, 38 to define portions 53, substantially corresponding to the height and/or shape of end panels 22, 24.
Suitable securing means for connecting the end and side panels together is provided. In this embodiment, there comprises a pair of oppositely disposed securing flaps 56, 58 9 89 [R:\LIBLL] 14568speci.doc:keh I WO 00/21856 PCT/US99/23844 4 extending from opposite ends of side support panels 32 and 34 and connected thereto along fold lines 60 and 62 respectively.
As illustrated in Figure 1, fold lines 18, 20 and 28, 30 are preferably defined in part by a series of interrupted cuts 19 for ease of folding the adjacent panels. The cuts may be shaped and configured to help with removal of excess food liquid.
Turning to the construction of the tray illustrated in Figures 2 and 3, side support panels 32 and 34 are folded about fold line 36 and 38 respectively and into face contacting relationship with side panels 12 and 16 respectively, and is secured to the base panel 14 by glue or other suitable securing means 64. Likewise, end support panels 42 and 44 are folded about fold lines 44 and 46 and into face contacting relationship with the lower surface of end panels 22, 24 and the outer portions of the side and end panels are secured to base panel by glue or other suitable securing means 64. Figure 2 illustrates one example of the position of glue applied to the underside of the blank prior to folding the carton. Preferably, the glue is in the form of"hot melt" so to provide a seal between the base and the respective support walls to prevent migration of the liquid, described in more detail below. Thus, the carton is in a flat collapsed form to be supplied to the user so that it can be erected to provide a tray.
It is envisaged that the carton of the present invention can be formed by a series of sequential folding and gluing operations which can be formed in a straight line machine so that the carton is not required to be rotated or inverted to complete its construction.
The folding process is not limited to that described below and can be altered according to the particular manufacturing requirements.
The carton (or tray) is formed by folding side panels 12, 16 inwardly about fold lines 18, 20 respectively to define the side walls, as shown in Figure 3. The end walls are formed by folding the end panels 22, 24 about fold lines 28, 30. Finally, the securing flaps 56, 58 are secured to the end panels 22, 24 by glue or other suitable means to retain the tray in a set up condition and to seal the ends of the double skinned zones 82, -4l -r- WO 00/21856 PCTIUS99/23844 as illustrated in Figure 3. Thereafter, foodstuff is loaded into the tray from above and stretch film can be applied to the tray to seal the package.
Thus, a tray 80 for holding foodstuff or the like which tray is formed from paperboard or like foldable sheet material and can be erected from a flat collapsed condition into a position of use and includes a double skinned zone 82 around the side and end walls 12, 16, 22, 24 and part of base panel 14 to provide a void 66, shown in Figures 3 and 4.
In use, excess liquid (or exudate) 76 from the foodstuff 62 is retained in the tray because the base is impermeable. Preferably, the panels providing an internal surface, for example the base 14, side and end walls 12, 16, 22, 24 are coated with an impermeable layer 72. In the embodiment described above the impermeable layer 72 is a co-polymer for example carboxylated styrene or butadiene. As shown in Figure 4, the cross section of the support panels of this embodiment would comprise in series from the inner surface: co polymer, printed matter (if desired), white coating, and board.
When the tray is stacked in an upright position, for example on a supermarket shelf, excess liquid tends to collect at the edges and in the corners. In order to remove excess fluid from the tray, a void 66 is provided by the double skinned zone 82, shown in more detail in Figure 4. The resulting void 66 is between the side (and end) panels 12, 16 and the support panels 32, 34 and 40, 42 which can be used to receive surplus food liquid blood or water) present in the tray by means to give fluid communication between the internal surface of the base and the void.
It is envisaged that the or each void 66 could be adapted to receive suitable absorbing material, for example absorbing stamp or bag, preferably during the initial set up process or by the application of absorbing polymer gel, for example polyacrylamide, during the set up or gluing steps of carton construction. More preferably, liquid can be absorbed directly by the inner surfaces 49 of the panels providing the double skinned zone as shown in Figure 4. In one class of embodiments the effect of capillarity encourages movement of the liquid away from fluid communication means in the void.
l WO 00/21856 PCT/US99/23844 6 The use of hot melt glue 64 at the free end of the support panels stops the migration of the liquid.
Preferably, the means 68 to give fluid communication is provided by a plurality of cuts or perforations 19 struck from the inner base panel 22 to assist in movement of liquid from the upper surface of the inner base panel 22 into the or each void 66. In those embodiments where fold lines 18, 20, 28, 30 are defined in part by a series of cuts 19, the cuts can assist in fluid movement.
Beneficially, the two ply embodiment hereinbefore described provides a structure that is strengthened to retain foodstuff. The use of paperboard material provides an "environmentally friendly" alternative to trays formed from plastics material and the tray can include printed matter for marketing purposes. The arrangement of the panels for the tray in the embodiment described above allows printed matter to be placed on the internal and external side and end walls of the tray.
It will be recognised that as used herein, directional references such as "top", "base", "end", and "side" do not limit the respective panels to such orientation, but merely serve to distinguish these panels from one another. Any reference to hinged connection should not be construed as necessarily referring to a single fold line only: indeed it is envisaged that hinged connection can be formed from one or more of one of the following, a score line, a frangible line or a fold line, without departing from the scope of invention.
The present invention and its preferred embodiment relates to a tray which is shaped to provide satisfactory rigidity to hold items such as meat or fish securely but with a degree of flexibility. The shape of the blank minimises the amount of paperboard required for the carton. The items can be applied to the carrier by hand or automatic machinery. It is anticipated the invention can be applied to a variety of carton or tray types and not limited to those of the flat tubular sort, for example the flat tubular structure could be replaced by a structure with longer sides and end panels to receive larger cuts of meat. Furthermore, the double skinned zones can be formed on the inner panels of the carton, without departing from the scope of invention.
