Description
CARRIER ~OR A PACKAGE: OF BOX-LIKE ITEMS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a carrier for a package of box-like items. In an example application of the invention to be described herein, the 5 carrier is for a package of boxes containing rolls of photographic film. However, the described example application is not to be understood as limiting on the invention because it is applicable to packages of any box-like items. The invention also relates to a carrier and a package of box-like items in combination.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Lay or casual photography is very popular and relatively cheap, pocket size, compact and fully automatic cameras are readily available to tourists and others to facilitate such photography. In this environment, individuals are tending to buy increased stocks of film for such cameras in a single purchase, for example, up to about 20 boxes of film may be purchased at the one time. To meet this demand, photographic film suppliers are now supplying their boxes of film in packages containing a reasonably large number, say 8, 12 or 20, of the boxes.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention seeks to provide a convenient choice to customers for carriage of such a package of boxes or of box-like items.
According to the invention there is provided a carrier for a package of box-like items including:
an upper portion forming a carry handle; and a lower portion for fitting around the package of box-like items, wherein the lower portion includes means for releasably engaging the package of box-like items.
Preferably the lower portion of the carrier is for fitting around a top section of the package.
Terrns such as "upper", "lower", "top section" or the like in this specification are to be construed with reference to the carrier in a normal use orientation. However, it is to be understood that the carrier can have other orientations, and thus, the terms in question are not to be applied to limit the scope of this disclosure to any particular orientation for the invention.
Preferably, the means for releasably engaging the package of box-like items includes tabs for insertion between facing surfaces of the box-like items S in the package.
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the carrier is formed from a relatively stiffly flexible material, such as a cardboard blank, which is folded to effectively simultaneously both forrn the carrier and assemble it with the package of box-like items. During this folding operation, the tabs are inserted between facing surfaces of the package of box-like items and the lower portion is fitted around the package to form a surround. Preferably, a tab extends from the lower end of each of two opposite sides of the surround, and the surround is formed by inserting at least one tab of another form, that is a connection tab, on the blank into a complimentary slit in the blank. Preferably, the lower surroundportion of the carrier is a firm fit around the package such that the tab and slit connection for the surround will be more tightly held together by the pressure between the package and the surround.
Preferably, the lower portion of the car~ier includes a depending section for obscuring a surface, or part thereof, of the package of box-like items.
This feature ensures that printed information such as, for example, a bar code or the like outer facing surface of the box-like items can be obscured. When purchasing a package combined with the carrier, this feature ensures there is nodanger that a bar code relevant to only one of the box-like items will be scanned to give a price or other indication for the one item only and not the package.
The invention also includes a carrier as described above in combination with a package of box-like items. Preferabiy, the box-like items aresurrounded by a shrink-wrap to form the package and the shrink wrap does not cover the package adjacent the facing surfaces of the box-like items between which the tabs are received. Thus, the shrink wrap does not have to be pierced to insert the tabs into the package.
The invention also includes a blank of cardboard or like material for folding to form the carrier.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of non-limiting example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure l shows a carrier according to an embodiment of the invention assembled with a package of box-like items.
Figure 2 shows a cardboard blank for forming the carrier of Figure 1.
Figure 3 shows the blank of Figure l partially assembled about the package of box-like items.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
A carrier l according to the invention as illustrated in Figure l includes an upper portion 2 forming a carry handle and a lower portion 4 that fits around the top portion of a package of box-like items 6. The package of box-likeitems 6 preferably comprises rectangular section boxes 8 of rolls of photographic film. For example, the package may include twenty boxes 8 arranged in a stack that is five boxes long and four boxes high. Other arrangements of the box-like items are encompassed within the scope of the invention. The stack of boxes is preferably formed into a package by being wrapped with a shrink wrap material 10such as cellorap film. Preferably, this shrink wrap material does not cover the opposite sides 12, 14 of the package 6 at areas adjacent the facing surfaces between two rows of boxes 8 where ready access to those facing surfaces is required. Such access is required for insertion of a tab, as will be described below.
The carrier 1 may be formed by folding an applol),iately shaped cardboard blank, a shape for which is illustrated in plan in Figure 2. The upperportion of the carrier includes two panel sections 16 which include cut-outs 18,and which are folded about a central fold line 20 into a ridged roof-like structure for placement over the package 6. Panel sections 18 may also be folded along fold lines 22 to give some flexibility to the handle structure, for example to allow the cut-outs to move more closely together.
The lower portion of the carrier 1 includes front and rear panels 24, 26 which are an extension of panel sections 16 and formed by folding about fold lines 17, and opposite side walls 28, 30 which are for fitting around a top section of the package 6. In the particular example of the invention which is illustrated, the lower portion 4 of the carrier 1 (comprising panels 24, 26, and walls 28, 30) fits around the top two rows of boxes 8, however, the invention includes arrangements where the lower portion of the carrier fits around a single row or multiple rows of the box-like items, and the term "top section" of the package is to be understood in this light.
As best seen in Figures 2 and 3, the opposite side walls 28, 30 comprise flap sections 28a, 28b and 30a, 30b respectively, with the sections 28aand 30a having tabs 32 depending from their lower edges and which are foldable about fold lines 34 to lie substantially normally to the plane of flap sections 28a and 30a. Tabs 32 provide means for releasably engaging the package 6 by insertion between the facing surfaces of two rows of the boxes 8, i.e., at the locations indicated by reference 36. The tabs 32 are curved in an approximately semicircular shape to facilitate their insertion between boxes 8 at the locations 36 as the flap sections 28a and 30a are folded about fold lines 38 to lie adjacent the opposite sides 12 and 14 of package 6. The tabs 32 may also extend or bulge slightly outwardly of the width of the flap sections 28a and 30a, as indicated at references 40, to improve their engagement with the package 6. That is, these portions 40 of the tabs 32 will extend slightly outwardly of the package 6 to contact the shrink wrap 10 and thus provide the improved engagement.
The flap sections 28b, 30b include connection tabs 42 for insertion in slits 44 (formed along fold lines 38). Flaps 28b, 30b are folded about fold lines 46 to lie over flap sections 28a and 30a, respectively, and connection tabs 42 are inserted into slits 44 to complete the assembly of the carrier l on the package 6.
Slits 44 may include a short side cut at each end as shown by reference 48 to facilitate insertion of the tabs 42. Also the tabs 42 may include sloping sides 50 and a small undercut 52 where the sides 50 meet the edge of each respective flap section 28b, 30b. This structure provides for a relatively positive retention of the connection tabs 42 in slits 44.
One of the side wall flap sections, for example section 28b, may include a depending section 54 for obscuring at least a part or all of the surface of 5 a side wall 12 (or 14) of the package 6 to hide any printed information, such as a bar code, on each box-like item 8 along that side wall.
It will be appreciated that the lower portion 4 of carrier ] forms a surround for the package, which surround is formed by the fitting of panels 24, 26, and walls 28 (comprising flap sections 28a and 28b) and 30 (comprising flap sections 30a and 30b) around the package 6. The surround is completed by the tab42 and slit 44 connections, which provide an example co-operative means for securing the lower portion 4 of the carrier I as a surround for the package 6. The surround is a firm fit around the package 6 and this enhances the securement between the tabs 42 and slits 44 in that there is some pressure between the facing 15 surfaces of the package and the panel sections of lower portion 4 between which the tabs 42 are located.
The invention described herein is susceptible to variations, modifications and/or additions other than those specifically described and it is to be understood that the invention includes all such variations, modifications and/or 20 additions which fall within the spirit and scope of the above description.

Figure 2 shows a cardboard blank for forming the carrier of Figure 1.
Figure 3 shows the blank of Figure l partially assembled about the package of box-like items.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
A carrier l according to the invention as illustrated in Figure l includes an upper portion 2 forming a carry handle and a lower portion 4 that fits around the top portion of a package of box-like items 6. The package of box-likeitems 6 preferably comprises rectangular section boxes 8 of rolls of photographic film. For example, the package may include twenty boxes 8 arranged in a stack that is five boxes long and four boxes high. Other arrangements of the box-like items are encompassed within the scope of the invention. The stack of boxes is preferably formed into a package by being wrapped with a shrink wrap material 10such as cellorap film. Preferably, this shrink wrap material does not cover the opposite sides 12, 14 of the package 6 at areas adjacent the facing surfaces between two rows of boxes 8 where ready access to those facing surfaces is required. Such access is required for insertion of a tab, as will be described below.
The carrier 1 may be formed by folding an applol),iately shaped cardboard blank, a shape for which is illustrated in plan in Figure 2. The upperportion of the carrier includes two panel sections 16 which include cut-outs 18,and which are folded about a central fold line 20 into a ridged roof-like structure for placement over the package 6. Panel sections 18 may also be folded along fold lines 22 to give some flexibility to the handle structure, for example to allow the cut-outs to move more closely together.
The lower portion of the carrier 1 includes front and rear panels 24, 26 which are an extension of panel sections 16 and formed by folding about fold lines 17, and opposite side walls 28, 30 which are for fitting around a top section of the package 6. In the particular example of the invention which is illustrated, the lower portion 4 of the carrier 1 (comprising panels 24, 26, and walls 28, 30) fits around the top two rows of boxes 8, however, the invention includes arrangements where the lower portion of the carrier fits around a single row or multiple rows of the box-like items, and the term "top section" of the package is to be understood in this light.
As best seen in Figures 2 and 3, the opposite side walls 28, 30 comprise flap sections 28a, 28b and 30a, 30b respectively, with the sections 28aand 30a having tabs 32 depending from their lower edges and which are foldable about fold lines 34 to lie substantially normally to the plane of flap sections 28a and 30a. Tabs 32 provide means for releasably engaging the package 6 by insertion between the facing surfaces of two rows of the boxes 8, i.e., at the locations indicated by reference 36. The tabs 32 are curved in an approximately semicircular shape to facilitate their insertion between boxes 8 at the locations 36 as the flap sections 28a and 30a are folded about fold lines 38 to lie adjacent the opposite sides 12 and 14 of package 6. The tabs 32 may also extend or bulge slightly outwardly of the width of the flap sections 28a and 30a, as indicated at references 40, to improve their engagement with the package 6. That is, these portions 40 of the tabs 32 will extend slightly outwardly of the package 6 to contact the shrink wrap 10 and thus provide the improved engagement.
The flap sections 28b, 30b include connection tabs 42 for insertion in slits 44 (formed along fold lines 38). Flaps 28b, 30b are folded about fold lines 46 to lie over flap sections 28a and 30a, respectively, and connection tabs 42 are inserted into slits 44 to complete the assembly of the carrier l on the package 6.
Slits 44 may include a short side cut at each end as shown by reference 48 to facilitate insertion of the tabs 42. Also the tabs 42 may include sloping sides 50 and a small undercut 52 where the sides 50 meet the edge of each respective flap section 28b, 30b. This structure provides for a relatively positive retention of the connection tabs 42 in slits 44.
One of the side wall flap sections, for example section 28b, may include a depending section 54 for obscuring at least a part or all of the surface of 5 a side wall 12 (or 14) of the package 6 to hide any printed information, such as a bar code, on each box-like item 8 along that side wall.
It will be appreciated that the lower portion 4 of carrier ] forms a surround for the package, which surround is formed by the fitting of panels 24, 26, and walls 28 (comprising flap sections 28a and 28b) and 30 (comprising flap sections 30a and 30b) around the package 6. The surround is completed by the tab42 and slit 44 connections, which provide an example co-operative means for securing the lower portion 4 of the carrier I as a surround for the package 6. The surround is a firm fit around the package 6 and this enhances the securement between the tabs 42 and slits 44 in that there is some pressure between the facing 15 surfaces of the package and the panel sections of lower portion 4 between which the tabs 42 are located.
The invention described herein is susceptible to variations, modifications and/or additions other than those specifically described and it is to be understood that the invention includes all such variations, modifications and/or 20 additions which fall within the spirit and scope of the above description.
