Definitions

  • This invention relates to carriers for the packaging of multiple articles such as bottles and which is particularly suitable for protecting bottled beverages whose organoleptic properties can be affected by ultraviolet light.
  • Article carriers which are similar to this invention are known in the prior art, for example, such as those disclosed in U.S. patents 1,888,855; 2,205,437; 3,217,924; 3,337,045; and 4,119,902.
  • One aspect of this invention provides a wraparound type article carrier comprising a main sleeve wrapped about a group of articles and in which each article is held therein by cooperation with retaining means provided by the main sleeve, characterized by a closure sleeve located about at least one article disposed adjacent one end of the carrier so that the axis of said closure sleeve is perpendicular with respect to that of the main sleeve and wherein the closure sleeve includes a main panel of a size and configuration substantially to close said one end of the carrier.
  • Yet another aspect of the invention provides an article carrier closure sleeve blank comprising a main panel, a side panel joined to a side edge of said main panel, a composite panel joined to the opposite side edge of said main panel, a back panel joined to the edge of said side panel remote from said main panel, another composite panel joined to the edge of said back panel remote from said side panel, characterized by an auxiliary panel joined to the upper edge of said main panel.
  • the basic blank 'B' forming the main sleeve 'M' for the carrier 'C' is hown. More specifically the numeral 1 designates the top wall of the carrier to the side edges of which sloping panels 2 and 3 are joined respectively along fold lines 4 and 5. At each end of top wall 1, an end panel la is joined thereto along fold line lb. End panels la are further joined to the sloping panels by means of web panels lc. Side walls 6 and 7 are joined to lower edges of sloping panels 2 and 3 along fold lines 8 and 9. To complete the basic elements of the carrier, bottom wall panels 10 and 11 are foldably joined to the lower edges of side walls 6 and 7 respectively along fold lines 12 and 13.
  • multiple neck receiving apertures a are formed in sloping panels 2 and 3 and, in similar fashion, multiple heel receiving apertures b are formed in the lower portions of side walls 6 and 7.
  • machine tightening apertures c are formed in bottom wall panels 10 and 11; locking tabs d are formed in bottom wall panel 11 and locking apertures e are formed in bottom wall panel 10.
  • a closure sleeve 's' is provided and comprises main panel 14. To the top edge of main panel 14, auxiliary panel 15 is joined thereto along fold line 16. Similarly side panel 17 is joined to a side edge of main panel 14 along fold line 18. Back panel 19 is joined to side panel 17 along fold line 20 and a nesting notch 19a is formed along the upper portion thereof.
  • Composite panel 21 is joined to main panel 14 along fold line 22 and composite panel 23 is joined to back panel 19 along fold line 24.
  • Composite panels 21 and 23 combine to form the side panel of the closure sleeve opposite side panel 17.
  • the closure sleeve shown in FIG. 7 can be nested with an adjacent closure sleeve by means of the cooperation between auxiliary panel 15 of one blank and nesting notch 19a of an adjoining blank as shown by the phantom lines in FIG. 7.
  • auxiliary panel 15 is folded inwardly of the carrier along fold line 16 and the end panels la are folded downwardly respectively in overlapping face contacting relation with the outer surface of auxiliary panels 15. This operation is best shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • the carrier then appears as shown in FIG. 1 and the contents thereof are protected from the damaging effects of light.
  • This invention would also be well adapted for use in connection with a wraparound carrier. of the shrink film variety.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 The modified form of the closure sleeve is shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. More specifically this version of the closure sleeve comprises dual main panels 25 and 26. Auxiliary panels 27 and 28 are foldably joined respectively to main panels 25 and 26 along fold lines 29 and 30. Also side panel 31 is joined to main panels 25 and 26 respectively along fold lines 32 and 33. The opposite side panel comprises composite panels 34 and 35 which are joined respectively to main panels 25 and 26 along fold lines 36 and 37. To form the closure sleeve as shown in FIG. 8, it is simply necessary to adhere composite panel 34 to composite panel 35 as described in connection with the closure sleeve shown in FIG. 7.
  • an article carrier is provided which is especially well adapted for the packaging of bottled products such as beer which are extremely sensitive to the effects of light.
