Description
20~2~75 FIELD OF TH~ INYENTION
The present invention relates to paperboard containers with detachable cutters for dispensing and cutting sheet materials.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The production of environmentally safe and readily disposable packaging has become a priority as ways of reducing non-degradable waste are being vigorously pursued. One class of packaging containers which comprise materials not readily susceptible to quick degradation are domestic and industrial strength box dispensers for dispensing sheet materials such as aluminum foil, wax paper and the like. These box dispensers are made of paperboard material and include a cutter provided with a cutting edge for cutting the sheet material. The cutter is usually formed of a serrated metal or plastic strip which is firmly secured to the dispenser. With such a combination it is usually difficult to separate the cutter from the cardboard and doing so can be a potential safety hazard. Indeed, the cutter may generally only be removed using a pair of pliers or the like which is very inconvenient and potentially dangerous. In view of this difficulty, when the container is emptied it is usually discarded with the cutter st:ill attached which presents a source of non-degradable waste in addition to being a potential hazard with the cutter exposed.
---`` 2082375 Accordingly, it would be advantageous to provide a sheet dispensing paperboard box having a cutter attached thereto which may be readily removed after the box is emptied so that the paperboard box and cutter may be separately recycled.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The sub;ect invention provides a box dispenser for holding and dispensing sheet material and includes a container portion for holding therein sheet material. The container portion has an opening through which the sheet material is to be dispensed. Included is a sheet cutter means attached to the container by detachable means so the sheet cutter means can be detached from the container. The sheet cutter means is suitably positioned with respect to the opening so that sheet material being dispensed from said container can contact the sheet cutter for cutting the sheet material.
In another aspect of the invention there is provided a box dispenser of the type made of paperboard having a container portion for holding therein sheet material. The container portion has an opening through which the sheet material is to be dispensed. The improvement comprises the a sheet cutter means attached to the container by detachable means. The sheet cutter means is suitably positioned with respect to the opening so that sheet material being dispensed from the container can i 2~8237~
contact the sheet cutter means for cutting the sheet material, In another aspect of the invention there is provided a paperboard box dispenser blank comprising a base panel attached to a rear panel, a closure panel hingedly attached to the rear panel, a front panel attached to the base panel, a pair of spaced side panels attached to one of the rear panel, the bottom panel or the front panel, and a first elongate paperboard strip attached to one of the closure panel or front panel by first detachable means.

DET~ILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring to Figures 1 and, a container or box dispenser 10 includes a base panel 12, a pair of side panels 14 integrally attached to the side edges of panel 12 and foldable along fold or crease lines 15, a rear panel 16, and a top panel 18 having a-ttached thereto a 1ap 20.
Included is a front panel 22 attached to bottom panel 12.
Front panel 22 is provided with a reinorcing flap 24 attached along the outer edge thereof which is folded along crease line 26 and bonded to panel 22, see Figure 2, to provide a reinforced edge when dispenser 10 is assembled.
Box dispenser blank 30 illustrated in Figure 2 may be formed from a single die-cut blank wherein the various panels are bounded by the parallel arease lines 28. Box dispenser 10 may be fabricated from any known stiff 2~8237~
paperboard matsrial.
It will be appreciated that side panels 14 could be attached to either front panel 22 or rear panel 16 instead of bottom panel 12. In the assembled box top panel 18 forms a lid or closure member for the box dispenser.
Referring specifically to Figure 3, panel 20 comprises three sub-panel portions including a first portion 34 integrally connected to panel 18 along cr~ase line 28, a second portion 36 integrally attached to first portion 34 along a centrally disposed continuous cut score line 38 running parallel to crease line 28 and along arcuate, perforated score lines 40 extending from the ends of cut score line 38 to the outer edges of panel 20. Cut score line 38 may comprise a cut extending approximately 50% through the thickness of the paperboard. Perforated score lines 40 define a detachment starting tab 60 for starting the detachment of sub-panel 36 and cut score lines 38 further facilitate the detachment of sub-panel 36 thereby preventing tearing of paperboard panel 20 as the cutter is removed.
Panel 2Q lncludes a third sub-panel portion g2 integrally attached to second portion 36 along a cut score line 44 extending along the full length of panel 20.Cut score line 44 may comprise portions where the cut is deeper, close to or equal to 100% for easy de-tachment of sub-panel 42. Sub-panels 36 and 42, in the context of the present invention, each are connected to the remainder of 2~8237~
the container by frangible means or detachable means formed by weakening portions of the container. The weakened portions comprise various cut lines, score lines or perforations so that the sub-panels may be broken away or detached from the rest of box dispenser 10.
A plurality of parallel cut score lines 46 are disposed along sub-panel portion 42 and extend transversely thereto.
Referring to Figure 2, dispenser 10 is provided with a cutter means in the form of an elongate cutter 50 comprising cutter teeth 52. Cutter 50 is attached to sub-panel 36 and extends along substantially the entire length of sub-panel 36. Cutter 50 may be secured to sub-panel 36 by any one of several known bonding techniques including rivetting. Holes 54 in cut-ter 50 are caused by rivetting the cutter to sub-panel 36. Referring to Figure 3, the cutter material which is punched through the paperboard is compressed into the paperboard as shown at 56. In this way cutter 50 is securely fastened to sub-panel 36. Cutter 50 may be fabricated of serrated metal or plastic depending on the particular application for which the dispenser is to be used, whether or domestic or industrial strength use.
Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that there are numerous other means of firmly attaching cutter 50 to sub-panel 36 including the use of various adhesives, epoxies or other mechanical bonding techniques.
Box dispenser 10 is suitable for dispensing sheet 2~2375 materials such as saran wrap, aluminum foil and wax paper to mention just a few. After fabrication of dispenser blank 30, box dispenser 10 is assembled from blank 30 and the roll of sheet material to be dispensed therefrom is enclosed within the box and the box sealed in a manner which will be known to those skilled in the art. The assembled ~ontainer as supplied to re~ailers for sale to end users is shown in Figure 1. Sub-panel 42 acts as a protective covering to prevent exposure of cutter 50 prior to use in addition to being used to seal container 10.
In operation, prior to an end user dispensing the sheet material from dispenser 10, sub-panel 42 is detached from the rest of panel 20 thereby exposing a serrated cutting edge 52 of cutter 50. Sub-panel 42 also functions to seal box 10 so that once it is detached from the rest of the box the latter may be opened. Figure 4 illustrates sub-panel 42 partially detached or broken away from sub-panel 36 wherein detachment is achieved by gripping the side edge of the sub-panel and pulling. Transverse cut or score lines 46 facilitate removal of sub-panel ~2 by providing a plurality of positions where the sub-panel can be sharply folded while it i~ being detached from sub-panel 36.
Oncs sub-panel 42 ls removed the box dlspenser is ready for use. The sheet material is pulled outwardly, top panel 18 pushed downwardly and panel 20 pressed against front panel 22 compressing the shest material therebetween.
20~2~73 The sheet material is then pulled from one end along serrated edge 52 thereby cutting the sheet. Flap 24 attached to panel 22 provides a reinforced edge along crease line 26 (Figure 2) against which top panel 18 is pressed when dispensing material.
Ater the supply of sheet material has been exhausted, the user detaches cutter 50 by pulling tab 60 outwards, or pushing it inwards to break tab 60 free whereupon the tab is gripped and pulled. Figure 5 illustrates sub-panel 36 and cutter 50 partially detached from sub-panel 3~.
Once sub-panel 36 and cutter 50 attached thereto have been detached from the rest of panel 20, both may be discarded and recycled. An ad~antage of *he detachable cutter 50 disclosed herein is that a user need not grip the cutter itself to remove it. Instead the user grips the end portion of sub-panel 36 forming starting tab 60 thereby reducing the hazard of the user slicing his or her hand when removing the cutter. Another advantage is that there is a minimum amount of paperboard material, namely sub-panel 36, attached to the cutter after the sub-panel has been removed from the rest of the dispenser. The cutter and the rest of the box dispenser may then be readily separated or reaycling and the like.
Instead of starting tab 60 being attached to sub-panel 34 by perforated score lines 40, a continuous arcuate cut line may be used which is similar to cut line 38.
~, `!
237~
Alternatively, cut line 38 may be replaced by a linear perforated score line slmilar to line 40 of Figure 2. As long as a grippable starting tab functionally equivalent to starting tab 60 is present which is detachable from the rest of the box dispenser, the details of the shape and attachment to the rest of the panel are of secondary consideration.
While the embodiment of the box dispenser discussed above is provided with the cutter 50 disposed along panel 20, it will be understood that the cutter could be located in any functionally equivalent position on the dispenser. The feature of sub-panel 36 comprising starting tab 60 for safely removing cutter 50 can be employed regardless of where the cutter is located on the container.
In addition, the shape and exact location of the starter device (tab 60) may be altered while not impairing the function of the device.
While the box dispenser made from paperboard has been described and illustrated with respect to the various embodiments, disclosed herein, it will be appreciated that numerous variations of these embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the invention described herein.
