Description

ICE CREAM CONE PACKAGE

This invention relates to a packaging of articles of a fragile na~ure and is more concerned with improvements in a package having an insert for holding ice cream cones in position in a carton so as to resist movement and minimize possible damage in handling the shipment.
The packaging of articles which are fragile and liable to be damaged in handling has presented problems for the package designer which have been difficult of solution.
One of the consumer products which has been most difficult to package in a satisfactory manner has been ice cream cones which are marketed for home consumption. Generally these have been packaged in relatively small groups, for example, ten or twelve, in a paperboard carton, generally of relatively light weight or gauge paperboard material.
In some packages the cones have been arranged in telescoped assembly or stacks with a relatively small number in a stack and generally with two stacks thereof enclosed in ~-a tubular carton of rectangular cross-section which ~nables maximum convenience in multiple unit shipment and shelf display in the retail store. In some packaging arrangements ... . .
designed heretofore the stack~ or stacks, of cones have . . .
been enclosed also in an inner wrapper in the form of a plastic bag, usually sealed for protection against moisture, etc. In some other arrangements the stack or stacks of the cones have been cradled in an insert of foldable sheet material in an effort to provide further protection against .~:

' ~ .

.
' damage in handling. None of these arrangements have proven satisfactory and the consumer often findsl upon opening such packages breakage of a character which renders the cones useless.
It is, therefore, a general ob~ect of the invention to provide a packaging arrangement for a group of articles of this type which affords greater protection than provided heretofore, against damage to the articles, when the package is subjected to exterior forces by rough handling or the like. g~
It is a moee specific object of the invention to provide a packaging arrangement for an assembly of ice cream cones or similar cone-shaped ar~icles of a fragile nature which are in telescoped and stacked relation wherein the stacked ~ `~
articles are nested in a paperboard insert so that the individual cones are cushioned against movement when the assembly is enclosed in an outer carton.
It is a further object of the invention to provide an insert for a package of the type described which is formed from foldable sheet materialt such as paperboard, which is cut and scored so as to be set up in the form ~ ~ ~
of a tray with spaced cross partition forming panel members~
which engage the articles and cushion the same against axial movement so as to reduce the risk of damage resulting from pressure between the articles.
It is another object of the invention to provide a ;~
package of ice cream cones or cone-shaped articles of similar character which are of a fragile nature wherein the articles are arranged in stacks and nested in a protective tray formed of a sheet of cut and scored paperboard or similar
-2-~ .

material which, when set up to receive the articles, includes cross partition forming panels which are spaced so as to engage the rims of the individual articles in the stacks and provide cushioned restraint against damaging compacting oE the articles in the stack. ;~
To this end the invention as claimed is embodied in a packaging arrangement which includes a tray-like holder for a stack of cone-shaped articles in which the articles are restrained against axial movement by cross partition forming panel members in the holder which are spaced~so as to engage in cushioning relation the individual articles.
The foregoing and other objects and advantages will become more apparent when reference is made to the accompany~

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE_INVENTIO~

Referring to the drawîngs, there is illustrated in FIG. 1 a package arrangement for assembly of ice cream cones C or other fragile articles of similar cone-shaped configuration which comprises an other c~rton 10, an insert in the form of a partitioned tray 12 which is adapted to hold two stacks of 6 cones each and a flexible bag 14 which may be formed of transparent plastic, such as, for example, Cellophane, and which is adapted to enclose the cone-filled tray 12 before it is inserted in the carton 10.
The outer carton 10 is of conventional construction and may be formed of Eoldable paperboard of suitable gauge or weight. As shown, when set up, it has a tubular shape and rectangular cross section, with end closures comprising a pair of dust flaps 16 and a closure flap 18, the latter
-4-` ~ ~

having a conventional tuck flap 18'.
The cone holding tray 12 is formed from a generally rectangular sheet or blank 20 of paperboard material, of suitable gauge or weight, which is cut and scored as shown in FIG. 4 enabling it to be set up with provision for ;~
nesting therein two stacks of the cones C in such a manner that they will be restrained against movement, particiularly,~
in an axial direction so as to prevent jamming in the stack and brealcing which is likely to result from handling when there is insufficient restraint of movement.
The blank 20 is cut and scored so that it is generally ~ ~ `
symmetricaL about a longitudinal center line indicated at a-a in F~G. 4 and where an element on one side of the line a-a is identified by a numeral, a corresponding element~
on the other side of the line a-a will be identified by the same numeral primed. The blank is notched out at the four corners and partially cut, partially scored, on the longitudinally extending, transversely spaced, parallel fold lines 22, 22' with the latter spaced inwardly equal distances from the side edges 24, 24' of the blank so as ~
to form along opposite sides margins of the blank rectangular side wall panels 26 and 26' of equal size and like configura-tion which extend outboard of the fold lines 22 and 22' the latter being adapted to form the top side edyes in the set up tray.
At the one end, the blank 20 is scored on the transverse line 27 which is spaced inwardly of the end edge 28 of ;~
the blank a distance equal to the distance between the lines 22 and 22' and the side edges 24, 24' of the blank, so as to define a rectangular end wall panel 30, which is adapted to fold or hinge on the top edge defining score line 27 in Eorming the tray. At its opposite end, the blank 20 is scored on a transverse line 32, 32' extending between the ends of the longitudinal score lines 22 and 22' and is spaced inwardly of the end edge 33 of the blank :: ::
a distance greater than the distance between the parallel lines 27 and 28 at the other end of the blank The end panel portion 34 which extends outboard of the l;ne 32, 32' is divided by a parallel, transverse score line 35, :~
into two panel portions 36, 36' and 37~ The panel portion 36, 36' is divided into two sections as shown, by diagonal cutting lines 38 and 38' which extend in diverging relation from spaced points 40, 40' on the score line 35 to points 42, 42' on the side edge defining lines 22 and 22' which points 42, 42' are at the outboard ends of short hinge score lines 43, 43' hereinafter referred to. The terminal~
~` ends 40, 40' of the cutting lines 38, 331 are spaced equidi~s~
tant from the longitudinal center line a-a and the opposite:~
~ ends are spaced equidistant from the outboard ends o~the~
:/ 20 transverse hinge score line 32, 32'. The distance between the hinge score lines 32, 32' and 35 is somewhat less~than the distance between the lines 27 and 28 at the other end:
of the blank, so that, when the double section panel 36, -~ 36' is turned down about the hinge line 32, 32' and the~
associated end panel 37 is hinged about the line 35 into .. engagement with the bottom face or surface of the floor~
of the tray, the end wall formed by the double section panel 36, 35' is of somewhat lesser depth than the end ;
wall forming panel 30 at the other end of the blank to facilitate loading into the outer carton 10.

The score lines 22, 22', 27 and the portion of the score line 35 which extends between the points 40, 40', together wi-th the diagonal cutting lines 381 38', define a center portion 44 of the blank 20 which is further cut and scored so that portions thereof may be moved into an offset position to form the floor A5 (FIGS. 2, 3 and 4) of the tray while other parts thereof remain in a top wall forming position and are hingedly connected to the floor panel portions by a plurality of pairs of cross partition o~ the tray; are disposed in generally vertical planes and spaced so as to engage with predetermined portions of the cones. The blank 20, as illustrated, is adapted to form a tray to hold two stacks of the cones in side~
by-side relation. The section 44 of the blank is cut and scored so that it is symmetrical about the longitudinal center line a-a with the floor forming panel portions being cut and scored so that they are released for hinging move-ment, about transverse hinge score lines, to the bottom floor forming position shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The cutting and scoring on opposite sides of the line a-a is the same and where there is an element on one side the line and ~;~
a corresponding element on the other side the latter will be identified by the same numeral primed. At the one end of the blank the panel portions of the blank section 44, which are adapted to hinge to floor forming position, are released in part by the diagonally, diverging pair of cutting lines 33, 38'. The end wall forming panel 36, 36' serves as a hinge plate and is adapted to swing about the transverse hinge lines 32, 32' and 35 intoa vertical plane. The diagonal cutting lines 38, 38' together with the associated score lines 32, 32' and end portions 46, 46' of the side edge hinge score lines 22 and 22' define triangular corner web panels 47, 47' which constitute reinforciny panels in the plane of the top wall of the tray in the set-up position. Cutting lines 48, 48' extend inwardly in converging relation from points 50, S0' on the side edge score lines 22, 2~' which are spaced a prede~
termined distance from the ends 42, 42' of the cutting ~.:.;
lines 38, 38' and merge into cutting lines 52~ 52' which are circular segments and which extend to one end of short, parallel cutting lines 53, 53', the latter extending lon-gitudinally of the blank and disposed in transversely spaced equidistant relation on opposite sides o~ the line `~
a-a. The cutting lines 53, 53' extend to the inner ends -~
of relatively short transversely aligned hinge score lines 54, 54' which terminate at the diagonal cutting lines 38, 38'. The hinge score lines 54, 54' are spaced rom the hinge score lines 43, 43' a distance substantially the same as the distance between the hinge score lines 35 and - 32, 32' so that small cross partition forming panels 55, ;~
55', resulting from the previously described cutting and scoring o~ the blank, serve as hinge plates in the same manner as panel sections 36, 36'. These panels are, however, apertured at 56 and 56' to receive in supporting relation, the bottom ends of the bottommost cones in the stacks.
The cutting line configuration results in leaving small triangular panels 57~ 57' which remain in the plane of ~;
the top wall of the tray when the portions of the blank section 44 which form the bottom wall 45 are moved into bottom wall forming position.

The panel material is also cut to provide a narrow top wall forming panel strip 62, which extends longitudinally of the blank and straddles the center line a-a with its opposite side edges spaced a predetermined distance from the inside edges of the adjacent panel strips 60, 60'. The two outboard ~ ;
bottom wall forming panel strips 60, 60' are cut and scored so that they remain in the plane of the other bottom wall forming portions of the blank section 44 while the top wall forminy panel strip 62 is cut and scored so that it remains in the plane of the top wall when the bottom wall 45 is formed, which occurs when the multiple panel portions . forming the same are swung into bottom wall forming position by hinging and folding operations which are hereinafter -; described and which include depressing and longitudinally moving the bottom wall forming portions relative to the top wall forming portions of the blank, the respective ~:
top and bottom wall forming panel portions being connected - by a plurality of small panel members which constitute cone engaging cross partition elements and also serve as ~;
hinge plate connecting elements in setting up the tray.
