Definitions
- This invention relates to a carton accommodating a plurality of articles, such as bottles, which can be adapted to provide a top gripping type of retention means for returning the bottles, when empty, to point of purchase.
- DE-A-2 542 924 discloses a carton according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention provides a carton accommodating a plurality of articles, such as bottles, which carton comprises a top, a base and a pair of spaced side walls interconnecting the top and the base and end wall panels connecting together the side walls and the base at opposite ends of the carton and wherein means are provided for detaching upper portions of said side walls and said top from lower portions of said side walls, said base and said end wall panels thereby leaving the articles accommodated in a tray comprising lower portions of said side walls, said base and said end wall panels, characterized in that said base is formed with a plurality of openings each to receive a top portion of one of said articles so that the articles can be retained together in a group by cooperation of their tops with said tray.
- the tray may be inverted for application to the tops of the articles so that the base of the tray is presented uppermost of the article group.
- the base may be formed with a least one aperture adapted to receive an upstanding post provided in a crate to locate the carton in the crate.
- said detaching means may comprise tear away strips provided in said side walls.
- a blank 10 formed from paperboard or similar foldable sheet material which comprises from left to right, in series, a first top panel 12, a first upper side wall panel 14, a first lower side wall panel 16, a base panel 18, a second lower side wall panel 20, a second upper side wall panel 22 and a second top panel 24, hinged one to the next along transverse fold lines 26-36.
- each of the first and second upper side wall panels 14 and 16 is provided with a series of bottle neck receiving apertures "A" which assist in the retention of two rows of bottles within the carton.
- the bottle heels are accommodated within a tray-like structure, comprising lower portions of the first and second lower side wall panels 16 and 20, the base panel 18 and a set of lower end closure panels.
- the lower end closure panels are provided along each of the longitudinal edges of the base panel 18 and lower portions of the first and second lower side wall panels 16 and 20.
- opposed base end closure panels 38 and 40 are hinged to opposite ends of the base panel 18 and side end closure panels 42, 44 and 46, 48 are hinged to the first and second lower side wall panels 16 and 20, respectively, and interconnect the base end closure panels with respective ones of the lower side wall panels 16 and 20.
- Each of the lower side wall panels includes a tear-away strip 50 and 52, respectively, to enable upper portions of the carton to be detached from lower portions of the carton.
- the base panel is provided with a series of so-called “sunburst” apertures "S” and a pair of centrally disposed retaining apertures "R” to allow the carton to be impaled upon a pair of upstanding posts provided in the base of a crate which is adapted to receive a plurality of such cartons.
- the completed carton is shown in Figure 2 of the drawings and as can be seen accommodates six bottles arranged in two rows of three bottles per row.
- the carton is wrapped about the bottles and the two top panels 12 and 24 are secured (as by gluing) together above the bottle caps in overlapping relationship.
- the bases of the bottles are seated on the base panel 18 with the ends of the carton partially closed by the lower end closure panels 38, 42, 44 and 40, 46, 48.
- the tray structure 50 is shown unloaded with its base exposed therefor illustrating the "sunburst" apertures. As shown in Figure 5, the tray structure 50 can then be utilised as a so-called top gripping carrier and in this regard the tray structure is inverted and applied to the group of bottles so that each of the bottle necks protrudes and is retained by respective ones of the "sunburst" apertures. By this means, the empty bottles can be returned as a unit to a point of purchase. Conveniently, the retention apertures "R" may be used to facilitate portage of the package.
