Definitions

  • This invention relates to improvements in reinforced containers and sleeves. More particularly, the invention relates to containers of the type adapted to contain liquids (with a plastics liner) or other free-flowing materials, such as granules or powder, but the invention is not limited thereto.
  • Corrugated board containers for liquids and dry' free-flowing materials are well known.
  • such containers have in the past been made in an octagonal configuration. This results in the necessity for separate lids having to be made for the container since the flaps of the container cannot be made to close the container. This in turn increases the cost of the container and makes the transport of the collapsed container difficult due to the separate lids.
  • the invention therefore provides a reinforced container comprising a body of relatively stiff material including at least six interconnected rectangular panels defining a mid-section which is at least hexagonal in shape, each said rectangular panel having a further shaped panel extending from its opposite free sides to define end portions of the container which extend convergingly from said mid-section to a rectangular shape at each end of the container, and integral slotted rectangular closure flaps extending from each end of the container and shaped to close the ends of the container, said converging end portions and said rectangular mid-section panels co-operating to provide a container having increased resistance to bulging and increased vertical compressive strength.
  • closure flaps are not required.
  • the slotted closure flaps may be arranged to close substantially the whole of each end of the container. Where the ends of the container are other than square, one pair of flaps will completely close the ends of the container while the other pair of flaps will close the end to a reduced extent. In such an arrangement, the hexagonal mid-section will be in the form of an irregular hexagon.
  • the mid-section is in the form of a regular or irregular octagon with the container converging to a square at each end thereof.
  • the container or sleeve may be moulded in the above configurations from polystyrene or other suitable plastics material. Bowever, the most significant advantages are gained where the container is made from corrugated board, box board or solid fibre, hereinafter referred to generally as "board".
  • the mid-section of the container is octagonal since this configuration is the most symmetrical and is conveniently achieved by die cutting, scoring and folding an essentially rectangular blank of board.
  • the hexagonal or octagonal mid-section is defined by six or eight rectangular panels defined by crease lines. Each panel has a further shaped panel extending from either side thereof and defining the converging portions of the container. In the preferred form, every alternate further panel extends inwardly towards the ends of the container while the intermediate panels extend outwardly towards the ends of the container.
  • This panel arrangement provides a form of "interlocking" construction which substantially increases the rigidity of the container against bulging and also contributes significantly to its vertical compressive strength.
  • the panels of the container defining the hexagonal or octagonal mid-section are preferably greater in height than in width and the inwardly extending further panels are preferably trapezoidal in shape while the outwardly extending further panels are preferably triangular in shape.
  • one end of the blank is die cut to follow the outline of the crease at the other end of the blank and the remaining portion of the blank extending from the crease is glued to the outer or inner surface of the blank at the other end to form a suitable joint.
  • Figure 1 of the drawings the shape of the blank from which the container embodying the invention is formed is clearly shown.
  • the dimensions of the blank in Figure 1 are for one particular form of the invention and may be varied to achieve containers of other suitable dimensions.
  • the blank shown forms a container having square ends
  • the invention is equally applicable to containers having rectangular ends Of varying dimensions.
  • the arrangement shown in the drawings is preferred since it is the most practical and economic shape for a container having the dimensions shown.
  • the broken lines shown in Figure 1 represent crease lines defined by scoring or otherwise.
  • the blank shown in Figure 1 has four regular slotted end flaps .1 to 4 and 5 to 8 on either side of the blank and one end of the blank is die cut at 9 in a shape corresponding to the score line 10 at the opposite end of the blank.
  • the portion 11 extending from score line 10 has glue applied to its inner face and adheres to the outer face of the blank at the other end with the die cut portion 9 aligned with the score line 10. Alternatively, the glue is applied to the outer face of portion 11 and it is adhered to the inner face of the blank.
  • the score lines define eight central rectangular panels 12 to 19 which define an octagonal mid-section when the blank is erected as shown in Figure 3.
  • the crease lines also define four triangular panels 20 to 27 extending from either side of the central panels 12,. 14, 16 and 18.
  • four trapezoidal panels 28 to 35 sharing sides in common with the adjacent triang- ,ular panels extend from opposite sides of the central panels 13, 15, 17 and 19.
  • Additional crease lines 36 and 37 are provided to facilitate collapsing of the formed blank as shown in Figure 2 of the drawings.
  • the trapezoidal panels 28 to 35 extend inwardly from their central panels 13, 15, 17 and 19 towards the ends of the container while the triangular panels 20 to 27 extend outwardly from their central panels 12, 14, 16 and 18 to the respective corners of the ends of the container.
  • the inward and outward inclination of the adjacent panels in combination provides a form of "interlocking" construction that contributes to the container's rigidity against bulging as well as its vertical compressive strength. This arrangement is believed to improve the rigidity of the container in comparison with known octagonal containers whilst providing the quite distinct advantages of integral end flaps of standard construction. When used as a reinforced sleeve, the end flaps may of course be removed.
  • the outermost flaps may be secured by means of adhesive tape or by means of tear tape to facilitate easy opening.
  • a polythylene or similar plastics bag may be fixed within the container in any suitable manner. If desired a dispensing valve may be provided in a manner similar to those provided in wine casks.
  • the glued joint may be omitted.
