Now, only by example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, one embodiment of the present of invention are described, wherein;

Fig. 1 is the planar view that is used for making the blank of cardboard case according to the present invention;

Fig. 2 is the front elevation according to cardboard case of the present invention, has shown the loading procedure of article, and for clarity sake end closure is removed;

Fig. 3 is the front elevation of the cardboard case that article are housed as shown in Figure 2;

Fig. 3 a is the section plan along the X-X line of the cardboard case shown in Fig. 3;

Fig. 4 is the front elevation that unloads the cardboard case during the article shown in Fig. 2 and 3.

With reference to Fig. 1, shown is the cardboard case blank 10 of concrete form of the present invention, and it is suitable for making and is used for carrying three cardboard cases that the neck article are arranged as bottle etc.In this concrete example, blank 10 is about central cross fold line 23 symmetries.Blank at one end comprises a bonding tongue piece 12, and folding is connected on the middle holding plate 14.Holding plate 14 is connected to middle part stay bearing plate 16 along fold line 15 foldings, and fold line 15 is cut off by three article top receiving openings 36 of going out on plate 14 and 16.Interrupt stay bearing plate 16 foldings and be connected to top board 18, top board 18 preface folding successively is connected to side plate 20.Side plate 20 foldings are connected to base plate 22, and base plate 22 is connected to second base plate 24 along the folding of the fold line 23 that cuts off preface successively.Because about fold line 23 symmetries, so cardboard case blank 10 comprises side plate 26, upper plate 28, middle part stay bearing plate 30, middle holding plate 32 and another bonding tongue piece 34.

The cardboard case bottom that comprises plate 22 and 24 comprises the article neck receiving opening 38 that cuts off middle part fold line 23.In this embodiment, outermost two holes 38 have in the end closure of wherein rushing out 40.End closure 40 is connected on base plate 22 and 24 and comprises two mainboards 42 of that part of convertible bonded assembly and 44 along the fold line 23 that puts in end closure 40 along fold line 54 folding.Mainboard 42 and 44 comprises side direction tongue piece 48 and 52, and their convertibles are connected in main endcapped plate but partly disconnect with main endcapped plate by joint- cutting 46 and 50 respectively.

Front elevation shown in Figure 2 has shown that wherein all carton wooden partitions are all clearly marked with the cardboard case 11 of blank 10 structures.Therefore be that adhesive sheet 12 and 34 is adhered to respectively on the inside face of side plate 20 and 26 significantly.Thereby bonding tongue piece orientate as central stay bearing plate 16 and 30 is linked can resemble together shown in Figure 2 bonding mutually them.By this way, cardboard case forms and has the upper wall that comprises plate 18 and 28, the diapire that comprises the sidewall of side plate 20 and 26 and comprise plate 22 and 24.In addition, cardboard case 11 comprises the article retaining means 60 between top board and base plate.

Article retaining means comprises holding plate 14 and 32, and is formed at the middle part stay bearing plate 16 and 30 in the cardboard case, thus provide hold the article top and keep each article in carton up to the hole that is removed for use.Thereby, can see that from Fig. 3 a receiving opening is formed by two relevant holes 36 on the plate 14 and 32.Structure 60 is connected to along fold line 17 and 29 on the roof of carrier 11 and along fold line 13 and 33 and is connected on sidewall 20 and 26.In this example, fold line 13 and 33 is arranged such that sidewall paneling 20a and 26a than plate 16 and 30 height, and this is because the relative size of other plate causes that plate 14 and 32 tilts to horizontal direction at wrapping position shown in Figure 3.

With reference now to the operation of the installation cardboard case 11 shown in Fig. 2 and 3 to the bottle B,, can see, initial position cardboard case 11 make it top board 18 and 28 and horizontal direction form a leaning angle, this angle is less than middle holding plate 14 and 32 leaning angles that become with horizontal direction.Bottle top C passes hole 38 with very little resistance, but in order to make top C by the hole on the middle part holding plate 14 and 32, the edge 37 in hole 36 needs outwardly-bent, if and cardboard case 11 be by the blank material of suitable elasticity for example the cardboard of intermediate gauge make, then this motion is had only very little resistance.As shown in Figure 3, install cardboard case 11 to the top of bottle B after, cardboard case 11 is arranged to and makes top board 18 and 28 substantial horizontal or parallel with the top cover of bottle, and is arranged essentially parallel to base plate 22 and 24.Because the base plate of cardboard case 11 is wideer than top plate, sidewall 20 and 26 tilts so that surround bottleneck with respect to vertical direction.Yet it is holding plate 14 and 32 top board and base plate plane inclination certain angles with respect to paper carton in the middle of making that the in-to-in bottle keeps the structure of structure 60.As seeing from Fig. 2, side plate 20a and 26a are respectively greater than middle part stay bearing plate 30 and 16.

In order to take off bottle B, be necessary to make the relevant portion in the hole 36 of bottle cap C on middle holding plate 14 and 32 to withdraw from from cardboard case 11.Yet as appreciable from Fig. 3 a, the bottom of bottle cap C is engaged on the middle holding plate 14 and 32 on abutting aperture limit 37, thereby stops the further motion of bottle with respect to cardboard case 11.Along with the continuation of relative motion, bottle cap C forces intermediate plate 14 and 32 collimations, as seeing from Fig. 4, is arranged essentially parallel to base plate 22 and 24.Yet, as in Fig. 4, seeing, this motion make upper plate 18 and 28 resistance cardboard case structures natural resistance and pulled down.Therefore, producing a resistance comes off from cardboard case 11 to prevent bottle.This resistance is different from when cardboard case is installed the effect that relative size and structure owing to previous described different plates produce certainly very much.Thereby compare with bottle being installed to the power that requires in the cardboard case, need a power that enlarges markedly that bottle is taken off from cardboard case.Thereby find, can provide a suitable cardboard case to keep structure, make and for example can carry three bottles that are contained in the cardboard case 11 and can not emit very big danger that promptly bottle can not drop out accidentally from cardboard case.Nature, it also is possible that a handle is provided on box.

Therefore apparently, cardboard case has makes the fine lot of advantages that remains in the cardboard case of bottle, simultaneously can provide a kind of cardboard case, this cardboard case can be hidden near that part of of the bottle label of bottle cap C and make it not seen, see that from marketing or aesthstic viewpoint bottle cap C is inaesthetic, perhaps for example on this carton, can be equipped with an independent product bar code.And for example product labelling or show and colour strengthen the distribution of product thereby certainly mix printing material by the cardboard case of cardboard or similar material manufacturing.

Except blocking in order to avoid see that the label that may be torn to pieces the carrier side is that part of, cardboard case also comprises the end closure 40 that schematically illustrates as Fig. 3, in order to blocking most of end apperance of the bottleneck that remains in the cardboard case 11, and especially that part of near the label below the bottle cap C.These end closure 40 are by passing bottle in relevant hole 38 and by making end closure 40 around joint 54 rotation and arrange simply and put in place.So end closure 40 is lifted to a stand up position, the tongue piece 48 that wherein rubs is folding with 46 relative terminal edge folding wiring at joint-cutting 50 with 52, thereby end closure 40 is remained on its stand up position.Advantageously, the profile of end closure 40 upper ends 56 matches with the shape of the bottom of intermediate plate 14 and 32 in the cardboard case of making 11.This make can block fully be arranged under intermediate plate 14 and 32 and base plate 22 and 24 on terminal and stop intermediate plate 14 and 32 power of moving when attempting when cardboard case 11 takes out bottle B, to produce another.
