Abstract

Abstract of the Disclosure A case for the practice of a method of casing packs or cartons or the like of goods, the carton having placed around it a peripheral wall of corrugated board, cardboard or the like extending substantially around its entire vertical peripheral surface, a case being placed below the carton, wherein the carton first has placed around it a first peripheral wall engaging tightly around at least some of its substantially vertical peripheral surface, whereafter a second peripheral wall is engaged tightly around at least some of the first peripheral wall, one of the two separate peripheral walls engaging tightly around the entire peripheral surface of the carton or pack or the like whereas the other peripheral wall engages only around a bottom edge portion of the peripheral surface of the pack or the like in the form of a peripheral edge of a box-lid-like tray-shaped base member.

Description

6~i~6 CASE FOR CASING PACKS OR CARTONS OR TrIE LIKE
The invention relates to a case for casing packs or cartons or the like of goods, herein referred to as a collecting case.
Cases serve to protect and retain packs or cartons or the like, e.g. of cans, boxes or the like, in transportation.
It has proved economical, more particularly in self-service establishments, for the goods to be sold directly from the ease in which they are supplied - i.e., for the goods to be displayed in the case. So that customers can see the goods and more part-icularly have access to them, the case must of course be opened.The use of cases suitable for use as cut case displays in the manner just described leads to from 300 to 400 percent improve-ments in efficiency in shelf filling in self-service stores.
Large structures using cases also save considerable time as compared with conventional shelving structures and if cases and cut case displays are used together the resulting structures can be much more stahle than unsecured stacks of individual packs.
The de-stackingof unsold goods and their return to storage are quicker and cheaper too.
Conventional cases normally consist of rectangular cartons which are closed on six sides and which can be opened with a case opener or by 1~465~6 tear~ng along marked perforations or by tearing off tear-off tab~ or strips into the required cut case display. The individual packs on the display shelves are prevented from falling over or shifting by residues of the carton side walls. Unfortunat~ly, the perforations of the known cases of this kind often fail to tear satisfactorily~ and 80 a case opener is used to open up the carton more rapdily, but with the risk that the goods in the case - i.e. the individual packs - often suffer damage. Tear-off strips are easier to handle but costly to make and fit and are therefore not widely used. Another disadvantage of the known cases is that the conventional practice of closing a carton on 8iX sides by tabs or flaps, although providing non-twisting cases which can be transported satisfactorily, entail~ relatively high costs for paokaging material. The cartons themselves becomo ver~ buIky waste material when they are opened or cut at the place of use since the flat form of securing makes them difficult to fold. Another d~sadvantage is that since the cartons of tho ~nown cut ca~e displays usually engQge ~ery tight b around the goods, it is difficult for clients to remove the first packs from the cut case displays.
It i5 there~ore the object of the invention to provide a method and a ca~e of the kind hereinbefore described which can provide cheaper packing than with the known cartons closed on 8iX sides, speed up handling and conYert to waste which can be re~oved readily while al6o ensuring reliable transportation, ease of handling and little risk of the goods or intivitual packs falling over during transportation or during stacking in self-service shops or the like.

, J

, ~465~6 In accordance with the invention there is provided a collecting case adapted for use as a cut case display for a carton of goods having a vertical peripheral surface, said case comprising a substantially closed circumferential wall which is substantially vertical and is adapted to completely surround said peripheral surface of the carton of goods, said wall being open at its top and at its bottom, and a tray-like base which is a separate component from said circumferential wall, said case base including a bottom and a peripheral edge, said base being made of a corrugated material, said circumferential wall being made of a corrugated material which stiffens said wall in the vertical direction, said circumferential wall and said case having a substantially rectangular shape in the horizontal plane, said circumferential wall over substantially its entire height being adapted to engage -tightly with the vertical peripheral surface of said case, and said peripheral edge of said case base tightly engaging the lower edge portion of said circumferential wall, said peripheral edge of the case base having a height of approximately 1/3 to 1/5 of the height of said circumferential wall, the relative dimensions of said circumferential wall and said peripheral edge being related to each other and ~o said peripheral surface of the carton such that a close friction tight connection of such a strength is achieved that upon the action of a substantially horizontal 65~6 pressure applied on the circumferential wall, the carton may be transported with the case base, and upon the action of a substantially vertical pulling force onto said circumferential wall, said wall may be withdrawn from said case base, leaving a space between said peripheral edge and said carton and thereby facilitating removal of goods from said case base.
Since the case in accordance with the invention has only five wall parts, there is a considerable saving of material as compared with conventional cases. For example, flap-secured cartons cost up to 4C% more for packaging material than the case in accordance with the invention because so much material is wasted in the cutting of the blanks for the flaps. The srnooth tray-like base of the base member of the case facilitates transportation since there are no projection flaps and the sharp-cut vertical peripheral wall improves the stability of stacking in transportation as compared with ordinary cartons.
Also the peripheral wall can be folded readily and therefore converts at place of use into waste taking up little space and entailing little cost once the peripheral wall has been severed from the tray-like base.
One considerable advantage is that because of the tight press fit of the peripheral wall on the one hand and of the peripheral edge of the base member on the other hand, the case according to the invention is easy to handle and stack while substantially horizontal pressures act on the peripheral wall, - 3a -~6~6 whereas at the place of use the peripheral wall can be pulled off readily by vertical pulls, whereafter the goods - i.e., the individual pack - in the tray-like base members can be displayed without any risk of shifting laterally.
Preferably, said circumferential wall is provided with gripping means rendering possible a substantially vertical pulling force, and also preferably said gripping means may comprise flaps cut into said circumferential wall.

- 3b -;S~)6 For a better understanding of the invention and to show how the same may be carried into effect, reference may now be made to the accompanying drawings wherein:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a carton of goods adapted to be encased in a case in accordance with the invention;
Fig. 2 shows the carton of Fig. 1 after the peripheral wall has been placed around it;

-119~65~)6 Fig. 3 shows the peripheral wall, which in Fig. 2 engages around the carton o$ goods, without the carton inside it;
Fig. 4 ~hows the carton of goods in the complete case, the latter comprising the peripheral wall and a tray-like base member;
Fig. 5 i8 R separate view of the tray-like base member of the case of Fig. 4;
Fig. ~ ~hows a variant of a peripheral wall of the case in accordance with the invention, and Fig. 7 shows a carton of goods on the tray-like base member of the ciase according to the invention in the sale display positio~.
As the drawings show, in the embodiment shown the case in accordance with the invention comprises a per~heral wall 12 engaging closely and tightly around a carton or pack or the like 10 of good~ to be ancased~
the case also compr~ing a box-lid-like or tray-like base member 20 having a baso 22 and, rigidly secured thereto, a peripheril edge 24. The peripheral wall 12 extendei in c~ose frictional engagement around the carton or pack 10 and the poripheri~l ed8e 24 of the ba6e member 20 also extends in close ~rictional engagement around the bottom edge portion of the wall 12.
To carry the method according to the in~ention into effect~ the carton 10~ consistiug o~ a number o~ indiYidual pack6i~ is first compressed into a tight pack~ then has the peripheral wall 12 placed around it, care bein6 take~ to ensure that the wall 12 extends tightly and closely around the ca~Dn 10 - i.e.9 is in ~rictional engagement therewith~
After the ca~e haei been brought into this condition9 which can be .

~1465~6 gathered more particularly from Fig. 2, the tray-like base member 20 is fitted by the peripheral edge 24 being pushed up from below on to the peripheral w~ll 12, the elemen~ 24 and ~ entering into a firm ~rictiona~ engagement with one another. The method can be carried out rapidly and without complicated sticking operations such as are used in the conv~ntional method~. The resulting complete case can be handled readily - i.e., by the application either of vert~cal forces to the under~ide of the base member 20 in the direction indicated by an arrow 14 at the bottom of Fig. 4 or of horizontal pressures to the peripheral wall 12, as indicated by the arrows 14 on the right and left of Fig~ 4.
The complete system i8 held together by friction between the carton lo and the wall 12~ on the one hand, and between the wall 12 and the edge 24, on the other hand9 so that the case can be transported ~ati~factorily. Upon arrival Or the case at the place of use, ~ub-stantially vertical pulls are applied to the wall lZ in the direction indicated by arrows 16 in Fig~ 4 80 that the wal1 12 can be pulled out away from edge 24 of member 20 and remov~d. To facilitate the applicatio~ ;
of vertical pulls to the wall 12, flaps or the like 18 can9 with adv~ntage~ be provided on the wall 12 in the manner visible ~n Fig.
to facilitate removal of the wall l~.
After the wall 12 has been pulled off, the individual packs -i.e~ the goods - remain beh1nd on the tray-like ba~e member 20 and can be displayed as they are. Information about pricing amd ~3kers c~n be provided cheaply amd simply on the peripheral edge 24 of the member 20, something which may be a useful selling feature- Once the tight-fitting 65V~
wall 12 has been removed, the individual packs stand loosely on the member 20 at a distance from its edge 24 corresponding to the thickness of the wall 12; clients can therefore remove the first individual packs readily, yet the individual packs are secured against falling over or shifting or the like.
