Description
124095~3 WRAP-AROUND ARTICLE CARRIER BLANK
AND CARRIER/CRAJE COMBINATION
This invention relates to an article carrier of the wrap-around type accommodating a plurality of containers such as bottles or like articles which carrier is adapted to be impalled upon upstanding partitions provided in a crate. The invention also relates to a blank for forming such a carrier and to the combination of a crate and one or more svch article carriers.
Article carriers adapted to be received in a partitio,~ed crate are known, in particular a carrier which includes apertures in its base through which upstanding posts in a crate are received when the carrier is introduced into a crate.
A known crate having upstanding elongate partitions require slots to be formed in an article carrier w,7ich extend across the base and into the sidewalls of the carrier in order to marry the carrier and crate. However, such slots seriously weaken such a carrier since parts of the carrier adjacent the slots can twist relative to one another which can result in tearing of the carrier.
The present invention seeks to provide a slotted carrier suitable for such partitioned crates but in which the slots are temporarily bridged to minimize the relative distortion between portions of the carton adjacent such slots prior to the carton being loaded into the crate.
One aspect of the invention provides an article carrier of the wrap-around type accommDdating containers such as bottles which carrier comprises top and bottom panels interconnected by spaced sidewalls to form a tubular structure, characterised in that the carrier is formed with at least one slot extending across a base of the carrier formed by said bottom panels and into both sidewalls towards, but stopping short of, the top wall so that the carrier can be impalled upon a suitable part-ition provided in a crate, the slot being bridged by a frangible bridging piece to minimize relative distortion between portions of the carton adjacent either side of the slot, the bridging piece being positioned to be broken upon introduction of said partition into the slot said bridging piece comprising a strip of material spanning said slot and being connected to opposite edges of said slot by interrupted cut lines.
Preferably, two or more slots are provided at spaced locations along the length of the carton.
Another aspect of the invention provides a blank for forming an article carrier as defined in the last but one preceding paragraph which blank comprises a first base panel, a sidewall panel, a top panel, a second sidewall panel and a second base panel characterised in that each slot is provided by a first elongate opening extending from the free end edge of said first base panel into the first side wall panel stopping short of said top panel and a second registering elongate opening extending from the free end edge of second base panel into the second side wall panel stopping short of said top panel.
Another aspect of the invention provides the combination of an article carrier according to the invention and a partitioned crate, the carrier being impalled upon at least one partition each of which is received in one of said slots and located intermediate an adjacent pair of containers accommodated in the carrier and said carrier being seated on the base of the crate.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of an example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:-;:
FIGURE 1 is a plan view of a wrapper blank for forming a cartonaccording to the invention;
EIGURE 2 is a perspective view of a carton formed from the blank, in which a row of bottles is accommodated, and FIGURE 3 is a perspective view of a bottle crate, partly broken away, adapted to receive a carton according to the invention.
Referring to the drawings, the carton 'c' (Figure 2) accommo-dates a row of three bottles 'B1-B3' and is formed from an elongate blank 10 formed of paperboard or similar foldable sheet material. The blank comprises, in series, a first bottom panel 12, a first side panel 14; a first main side panel 16;
a first upper side panel 18; a top panel 20; a second upper side panel 22; a second main side panel 24; a second lower side panel 26 and a second bottom panel 28 incorporating a locking slot panel 30, hinged one to the next along transverse fold lines 32-48, respectively.
A set of three spaced locking tabs 50,52 and 54 integral with the first bottom panel 12 project form the free edge thereof and are adapted to mate with cooperating locking slots 56,58 and 60, respectively, in order to fasten the bottom panels together and bring the wrapper blank into a tubular configuration (Figure 2) in known manner for a wrap-around carton. Locking tabs and locking slots as disclosed in co-pending Canadian Patent Application No. 472,410 filed on January 18, 1985 in the name of The Mead Corporation, are suitable for this purpose but other means of securing together the bottom panels including gluing, are envisaged.
The top panel 20 includes three spaced apertures 62,64 and 66 to receive neck portions of the packaged bottles, Bl,B2 and B3 respectively. Also to aid retention of the bottles, the first lower side panel 14 includes bottle-heel retaining apertures 68,70 and 72, similarly, the second lower side panel 26 includes bottle-heel retaining apertures 74,76 and 78. When .....
.
--` 12~09~8 the wrapper blank is wrapped and secured about the bottles, the upper and lower side panels adopt a sloping configuration (FIGURE 2) relative to the main side wall panels and the bottom panels.
The carton 'c' formed from wrapper blank 10 is adapted to be impalled upon upstanding partitions e.g partitions p' and p2 in a bottle crate 80 (FIGURE 3). The crate 80 is formed with several rows of such partitions upstanding from the base 82 of 10 the crate. Each partition comprises a central flange plate 84 at opposite ends of which is provided a web plate 86 and 88 so that the partition has a ~H~ shape when viewed in plan.
The carton is provided with a pair of slots 'S1', 'S2', (FIGURE 2) which extend fron one side wall, across the base and into the opposite side wall of the carton and are spaced apart so as to each receive therein the central flange plate 84 of a pair of adjacent partitions p' and p2.
2û Referring to FI~URE 1, the slot 'S1' is provided by forming elongate openings 90 and 92 in the blank which are in register with one another and similarly slot 'S2' is provided by form-ing registering elongate openings 94 and 96 in the blank.
Openings 90 and 94 both extend from the free edge of first 25 base panel 12 and extend into first main side panel 16 but stop short of first upper side panel 18. Frangible bridging piece 18,100 spans each slot 90 and 94, respectively, along the first lower side wall panel 14. Each bridging piece com-prises a short integral strip of paperboard which is formed 30 with interrupted cut lines 11,12 and 13 as shown with refer-ence to bridging piece 98.
In like manner, openings 92 and 96 both extend from the free edge of locking slot panel 30 and extend into the second main 35 side panel 24 but stop short of upper side wall 22. Frangible bridging piece 102,104 spans each slot 92 and 96, respectively along the locking slot panel 30 and frangible bridging piece ~ l.Z4~
106,108 spans each slot 92 and 96 respectively, along the second lower side wall panel 26. Bridging pieces 102,104,106 and 108 are of similar construction to that of bridging pieces 9~ and 100.
When the blank is wrapped about the bottles, to form a com-pleted carton 'c' all the bridging pieces are intact so that the slots '51' and '52' are not continuous. Thus, the bridg-ing pieces hold the carton in a stable condition. In this regard, it will be appreciated that the slots are located intermediate the bottles B1, ~2 and ~2, R3 and continuous slots in those positions would allow the carton to twist and tear. The bridging pieces therefore minimize the twisting movement and are intended to remain intact until the cartons are introduced into the crates. During introduction into the partitioned crate, the bridging pieces are broken by the central flange plates of the partitions to allow the part-itions to be fully inserted into the slots.
