Definitions

  • This invention relates to a carton having a reinforced handle structure which can be manipulated from a flat stowed condition into a raised condition in which it is extended upwardly above the top wall of the carton.
  • the carton is particularly suitable for accommodating articles, eg. bottles in a group in which the articles are arranged so as to form end spaces in the article group at opposed ends of the carton. End portions of the handle structure are displaceable into such end spaces when the carton is lifted by the handle so as to shorten the distance between the opposite ends of a central handle strip of the handle so that it can be upwardly moved away from the carton top wall.
  • GB-A-1,240,549 discloses a can carrier made from cardboard which is of the kind comprising an open ended sleeve having two opposite sides connected by a top and bottom and includes a carrying handle extending across the top of the sleeve and hinged to each of the opposite side walls of the sleeve.
  • the top and upper parts of the sides adjoining the top are formed from top overline thicknesses of the blank.
  • a handle is formed by slits which extend through and across the top into and through the top adjoining side portions and terminate at hinges formed in the top adjoining side portions. When the handle is grasped, it is raised from a flat condition in which a substantial part of the handle lies in the plane of the top wall panel to a raised carrying position in which opposing end portions of the handle are displaced inwardly of the carton.
  • the present invention is concerned with a fully enclosed carton which is formed from a single blank of sheet material such as paperboard and in which a carrying handle is incorporated into the top panel structure of the carton thereby providing an effective handle without excessive use of paperboard stock.
  • the carton of the present invention includes upper and lower end closure panels. Although such closure panels are not shown in the reference referred to above, such panel arrangements in cartons of the fully enclosed type are well known in the art and for example are disclosed in US-A-2955739.
  • the present invention provides a carton which is formed from a single blank of sheet material for accommodating a plurality of articles, said carton comprising a bottom wall panel, side walls joined to two opposing ends of said bottom panel and lower end closure panels hinged to the other two opposing ends of said bottom panel and extending upwardly therefrom, top panels hinged to the upper ends of said side wall panels and extending inwardly in overlapping relationship, outer and inner top end closure panels hinged to opposing ends of said top panels and extending downwardly in overlapping relationship with respect to each other and secured to said lower end closure panels, wherein a handle structure is severable from said top panels and arranged to be raised from a flat condition in which it lies in the plane of said overlapping top wall panels to a raised carrying position in which opposing end portions thereof are displaced inwardly of the carton, characterised in that said handle structure is formed from an inner portion of the outer one of said overlapping top panels extending along the inner margins thereof adjacent to a side wall and from the opposing end portions being provided from adjoining portions of said
  • a group of bottles (not shown) arranged in six rows in a 4-5-4-4-5-4 row arrangement creates a group which conveniently can be accommodated in a generally hexagonal carton 'C' and in which end spaces S1 and S2 ( Figure 3) are formed adjacent opposite end walls of the carton by virtue of the grouping arrangement.
  • the carton 'C' is formed from a blank 10 ( Figure 1) of paperboard or like foldable sheet material.
  • the carton includes a top 12 comprising top panel 14 and top panel part 14' together with handle panel 16.
  • Top panel 14 includes an end parts 14a, 14b at each of its ends which form part of an upper sloping wall 18 of the carton, each end part having foldably attached thereto a lower end closure panel 20, 22 respectively.
  • a displacable panel 24, 24' (Figure 1) is struck partially from each of the top panel end parts respectively and partially from adjacent portions of the top panel 14 each displacable panel being hinged thereto at opposite ends along fold lines 26, 28 and 26', 28', respectively.
  • the side edges of the displacable panels are attached along frangible joins J1, J2 to adjacent parts of the top panel panels 14a and 14b.
  • Panels 24, 24' each have intermediate transverse fold lines 25, 27; 25', 27' by which, it can be displaced about fold lines 26, 28; 26', 28' inwardly of the carton when the frangible joins J1, J2 are broken.
  • the handle panel 16 is integral with top panel part 14' and includes a central handle strip 30 which is reinforced by folded over reinforcing strip 32 hinged thereto to form a two ply handle.
  • Handle strip 30 has foldably joined end parts 30a, 30b at each of its ends, each end part having foldably attached thereto a lower end closure panel 34, 36 respectively.
  • blank 10 further comprises a bottom wall panel 40 which is hinged to top panel 14 by means of a side wall panel assembly comprising upper side wall panel 42 which provides a part of the upper sloping wall 18 of the carton and is hinged to top panel 14 along fold line 44; an intermediate side wall panel 46 hinged to upper side wall panel 42 along fold line 48, and a lower side wall panel 50 hinged to the intermediate side wall panel 46 along fold line 52 and to the bottom wall panel 40 along a fold line 54.
  • a side wall panel assembly comprising upper side wall panel 42 which provides a part of the upper sloping wall 18 of the carton and is hinged to top panel 14 along fold line 44; an intermediate side wall panel 46 hinged to upper side wall panel 42 along fold line 48, and a lower side wall panel 50 hinged to the intermediate side wall panel 46 along fold line 52 and to the bottom wall panel 40 along a fold line 54.
  • bottom wall panel 40 is hinged to top panel part 14' by means of another side wall panel assembly comprising upper side wall panel 56, which provides a part of the upper sloping wall 18 of the carton, and is hinged to top panel part 14' along a fold line 58, an intermediate side wall panel 60 hinged to upper side wall panel along a fold line 62 and a lower side wall panel 64 hinged to the intermediate side wall panel 60 along a fold line 66 and to bottom wall panel 40 along a fold line 68.
  • upper side wall panel 56 which provides a part of the upper sloping wall 18 of the carton
  • top panel part 14' along a fold line 58
  • intermediate side wall panel 60 hinged to upper side wall panel along a fold line 62
  • a lower side wall panel 64 hinged to the intermediate side wall panel 60 along a fold line 66 and to bottom wall panel 40 along a fold line 68.
  • Bottom wall panel 40 carries two series of lower wall panels, one of which comprises lower corner panels 70 and 72 hinged to panel 40 along fold lines 74 and 76, respectively, and a lower end panel 78 hinged to panel 40 along fold line 80 and the other panel series comprises lower corner panels 82 and 84 hinged to panel 40 along fold lines 86 and 88, respectively, and a lower end panel 90 hinged to panel 40 along fold line 92.
  • Panel 14 carries corner panel structures 44 and 96 which cooperate with corner panels 70 and 82 respectively to form corners C1 and C2 of the carton and likewise panel 14' carries corner panel structures 98 and 100 which cooperate with corner panels 72 and 84 respectively to form corners C3 and C4 of the carton.
