Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wrapping adapted for locked securement to a flange-shaped edge of a potlike or boxlike container for accommodating, for instance, plants or flowers, and which is made from a relatively stiff material of resilient properties, from which material a tubular element has been formed, which, at least at one end, has an open or openable passsage and, in the area of that end, comprises at least one opening or cut forming at least one stop shoulder for abutment against a flanged edge of the container.
  • a wrapping for packaging and transporting relatively heavy containers is disclosed in US-A-4,330,059, being in the form of a tubular element having a bottom which is formed by flaps formed on the tubular element which are folded back through 90°.
  • the container is locked by inwardly pushed tabs formed from the tubular element, engaging the upper edge of the container. This constitutes a load on the bottom.
  • the wrapping is placed in an additional boxlike part and connected therewith by means of binding wires.
  • potted plants In the case where potted plants are packaged in this manner, they cannot be watered because otherwise the bottom might become soft and tear when the wrapping is lifted. With this known wrapping, too, the container must be introduced into the wrapping from above.
  • the object of the invention is to provide such measures that even in the case of relatively large and/or heavy containers, the tubular element can be simply and conveniently fitted and secured to them.
  • a first stop shoulder is formed by first locking means, provided near the one end of the tubular element, in the form of tab or panel portions adapted to be pushed inwardly into the tubular element and a second stop shoulder is formed by second locking means, formed on the one end of the tubular element, in the form of tabs adapted to be swung back inwardly through approximately 180°, the first and the second locking means in their non-locking end position being situated such that at least the part of the first locking means that forms the first stop shoulder can be slipped past the flange-shaped edge of the container.
  • the wrapping can be locked onto the container without requiring the container to be lifted for the purpose.
  • This can be realised by slipping the tubular element from above over the container until the first locking means are located beyond the flange-shaped edge of the container, i.e. beyond the intended locking position of the wrapping on the container, so that the tabs, being clear of the flange-shaped edge, can be swung into the position wherein they form the second stop shoulder.
  • the second stop shoulder comes into contact with the undersurface of the flange-shaped edge and the locking of the wrapping onto the container can be completed by pushing the tab or panel portions inwards, so that the first stop shoulder comes into contact with the top surface of the flange-shaped edge, so that this edge is clamped between the first and second locking means, which provides the intended locking position of the wrapping on the container.
  • the wrappings can be brought into a flat collapsed position.
  • the first and the second locking means in their non-locking starting position are located in the plane of the tubular element.
  • the basic shape of the tubular element is in fact no longer relevant, i.e. the tubular element may have a narrowing or a widening tapering shape or a straight shape and further may have any desired cross section, whether it be round, oval, polygonal, polygonal with rounded corners or any other shape, because the tubular element can always be locked relative to the container in extremely reliable manner by virtue of a suitable design of the stop shoulders.
  • each stop shoulder is formed by a cut-clear edge of a locking part of the tubular element, hinging about a hinge line, because in this way a stop shoulder can be obtained which can be situated at a distance which is clearly greater than once or twice the material thickness from the circumferential surface of the tubular element, so that a particularly reliable locking action can be obtained.
  • the locking part is exclusively connected with the rest of the tubular element through a hinge line, a tab or strip can be obtained which can be bent from the plane of the tubular element, which tab or strip should of course be situated such that it can form a stop shoulder capable of effecting a locking arrangement on the flanged edge of the container in cooperation with a further stop shoulder.
  • a first embodiment of such a locking part is obtained if the hinge line includes an angle with a horizontal plane, each end of the hinge line being adjoined by a cut-clear edge, one of which forms a stop shoulder. If the angle referred to is 90°, the stop shoulder will extend perpendicularly to the plane of the tubular element. In the case of a straight tubular element and a horizontal flanged edge surface, this means a surface-to-surface abutment of the stop shoulder. If it is desired that the stop shoulder slants relative to the flanged edge surface, for instance for creating a clamping effect, the angle referred to should deviate from 90°. In the case of a tapering tubular element, the same effects can be achieved through an appropiate choice of the angle referred to.
  • hinge line to extend substantially parallel to a horizontal plane, each end of the hinge line being adjoined by a cut-clear edge, which edges are connected by a further cut-clear edge, which extends substantially parallel to the hinge line and, upon being turned inwardly into a substantially vertical position, forms a stop shoulder.
  • a stop shoulder can be obtained which can extend over a relatively large length at a distance from and substantially parallel to the plane of the tubular element.
  • Such a stop shoulder provides advantages in particular in the case of a container having at least partly straight flanged edge portions and relatively heavy contents, because, for the purpose of lifting the container via the tubular element, relatively long second stop shoulders bearing the container can be created, it being preferred, with a view to the distribution of forces, that such a locking part is provided centrally in a panel and that in the case of a rectangular tubular element at least two opposite panels are provided with locking parts.
  • Such a locking part can be formed by providing one or a plurality of cuts in the tubular element.
  • a locking part for forming a second stop shoulder it may be preferred, in order to save material, that the locking part is a tab-shaped or strip-shaped projection which is connected with the rest of the tubular element through the hinge line.
  • a different manner of forming particularly stable stop shoulders is characterised in that in a tubular element having a circumferential surface formed from a plurality of panels interconnected by fold lines, the cut-clear edge extends in two panels, a hinge line slanting from each end of the cut-clear edge in the direction of the fold line between the two panels, which hinge lines meet in that fold line in V-shaped configuration.
  • a nose is obtained which swings inwardly upon being pressed inwards.
  • the nose has two stable positions. In the first position the constituent portions of the nose are disposed in the same planes as the two panels.
  • the tubular element By pressing the nose at the location of the fold line, the tubular element is resiliently deformed, the constituent portions of the nose thereby being gradually pushed into the same plane.
  • the nose With the last-mentioned position has been reached and a slight further pressure is exerted, the nose, with the help of the resilience in the tubular element, will slip into the second, stable position, which is mirror-symmetrical relative to the first position.
  • both a first and a second stop shoulder can be formed which extends parallel to the stop surface of the flanged edge or makes an angle therewith, depending on the orientation of the cut-clear edge, for instance to effect a particular clamping effect as mentioned hereinabove.
  • an inwardly pushable nose can be realised if the cut-clear edge is located in that curved portion and an arcuate hinge line in the tapering portion of the tubular element adjacent to the cut-clear edge connects the two ends of the cut-clear edge.
  • a further possibility of realising a locking part for forming a stop shoulder is obtained if the hinge line makes an angle which is preferably 90° with a horizontal plane, each end of the hinge line being adjoined by one end of a cut-clear edge, which preferably extends parallel to the horizontal plane, one of the two cut-clear edges forming a stop shoulder, whilst the two edges are interconnected at their other ends through a second hinge line making an angle which is preferably 90° with a horizontal plane.
  • Such a design of the locking part is possible both in a polygonal tubular element, viz. at each corner, and in a tubular element having an at least partly curved surface, viz. in that curved portion.
  • Such a locking part is initially located in the plane of the tubular element and can be snapped into the position wherein it forms the stop shoulders by inward pressure. If this locking part is provided at a corner of a polygonal tubular element, the fold line between two panels will form a further hinge line between the two hinge lines. A similar further hinge line may also be present in a locking part provided in a tubular element having an at least partly curved circumferential surface.
  • the blank shown in Fig. 1 is made from a relatively stiff and relatively little flexible material, such as corrugated board, and comprises four identical panels 1-4 having the shape of an isosceles trapezoid, the panels 1 and 2, 2 and 3, and 3 and 4, respectively, being coupled to each other through a fold line 5, 6, and 7, respectively.
  • the panel 4 is connected with a coupling strip 9 connectable to the panel 1 for forming a tubular element from the blank.
  • each panel is centrally provided with a H-shaped cut 10, the free ends of the two legs of the H-shape being connected through a fold line 10a, so that two tabs 10b are formed which can be bent from the plane of the panel.
  • each panel is centrally provided with a tab portion 11 connected to the panel through a fold line 11a.
  • the panels 1 and 3 are provided with handgrip cuts 12, the portion of the panel in question which has been cut loose being swingable about a fold line 12a to provide an aperture for passing a number of fingers therethrough.
  • a flap 14 Connected to the long end of the trapezoidal shape of the panels 1 and 3 through a fold line 13 is a flap 14 which is further connected with a foldback flap 16 through a fold line 15 parallel to the fold line 13.
  • a slot 17 Provided centrally in the flap 14 is a slot 17, which begins at the fold line 13, extends perpendicularly thereto and continues into the foldback flap 16 but ends at a distance from the free edge of that foldback flap 16.
  • a cover panel 19 Connected to the long ends of the panels 2 and 4 through a fold line 18 is a cover panel 19, whilst an insertion panel 20 inturn is coupled with the cover panel 19 through a fold line 21.
  • the fold line 21 does not extend over the full width of panels 19 and 20, but only from the two side edges as far as a semicircular cutting line 22 in the cover panel 19.
  • This cutting line 22, too, is divided into two parts, viz. by a centrally provided coupling flap 23 which is connected on one side with the cover panel 19 through a fold line 24 and on the other side with a semicircular support panel 26 through a fold line 25, the support panel 26 being made partly from material of the insertion panel 20 and partly from material of the cover panel 19.
  • the support panel 26 has been cut loose through cutting lines substantially identical in shape to the cutting lines 22 and is further connected with the insertion panel 20 through a fold line 27.
  • the fold lines 24, 25 and 27 extend parallel to each other and also parallel to the fold lines 18 and 21. Further, the distance between the fold lines 21 and 27 is substantially equal to that between the fold lines 24 and 25.
  • cuts 28 are provided at a distance from the side edge corresponding with the width of the flap 14.
  • Fig. 2 shows a wrapping made from this blank, which is locked onto a potlike container 29 having an annular flanged edge 30.
  • a potlike container 29 having an annular flanged edge 30.
  • one of the cover panels 19 with the parts attached thereto has been omitted from fold line 18.
  • Tubular element 31 in the form of an inverted truncated pyramid has been obtained by securing the coupling strip 9 to the panel 1, for instance by gluing.
  • the tubular element 31 with tabs 10b and tab portions 11 located in the plane of the relevant panel has a lower passage such that the tubular element 31 can be slid from above over the annular edge 30 of the container 29.
  • the tab portions 11 are turned inwardly into a substantially vertically upwardly directed position and simultaneously or thereafter those tab portions 11 are brought into abutment with the undersurface of the flanged edge 30.
  • the flanged edge will be of depending design, so that such edge in cross section has the form of an inverted U-shaped channel.
  • the tab portions 11 extend into this channel and are located in a particularly reliably locking position.
  • the locking action can be further improved by providing the tab portions 11 at the stop shoulder with lateral projections adapted to snap into the undercut portion or engage in or behind a wall portion of the container in any other manner.
  • the tabs 10b are subsequently pressed inwards, whereby the free lower edge of each tab 10b comes into contact with the top surface of the flanged edge 30, so that this flanged edge is gripped from two sides and clamped, which completes the locked securement of the tubular element 31 onto the container 29.
  • the tubular element 31 Before or after the tubular element 31 has been slipped onto the container 29 and been secured thereto, it can be closed at its top. This is effected by swinging the flaps 14 inwardly about the fold lines 13 into a substantially horizontal position, whilst the foldback flaps 16 are turned further into a position wherein they extend vertically downwards into the tubular element 31. Thereafter the cover panels 19 are swung inwardly about the fold lines 18 into a substantially horizontal position, while at the same time care has been taken that the insertion panels 20 have been turned about the fold lines 21, the arrangement being such that the insertion panels 20 and the foldback flaps 16 fit into eachother in cruciform configuration, as shown in Fig.
  • the support panel 26 swings about the fold line 27 and the coupling flap 23 about its fold lines 24 and 25, so that the support panel 26 has ended up in a substantially horizontal position and the coupling flap 23 in a substantially vertical position.
  • an accommodating recess for a further container has been formed in the cover of the tubular element 31 and this provides the possibility of stably stacking a plurality of containers with wrappings secured thereto.
  • the support panel has an additional advantage in that it provides a protection for pollutions originating from the superjacent container, so that the contents of the subjacent container 29 accommodating products, such as plants or cut flowers, for packaged transportation cannot be contaminated by the pollutions referred to.
  • the tubular element 31 has a tapering shape. However, this shape could also have been straight without this having any consequences for tabs 10b and the tab portions 11.
  • Fig. 3 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a straight tubular element.
  • the tubular element comprises four panels 44, mutually separated by fold lines, which, through a coupling flap (not shown), have been formed into a tubular part of a constant cross section which is so large that the tubular element can be slipped from above over the flanged edge 43.
  • Each panel 44 comprises two fold lines 45 slanting downwards from the corner fold line between two panels. Connecting to the terminal end of a fold line 45 ending in the panel is a cutting line 46 extending in the direction of the corner fold line referred to at an angle with the horizontal.
  • a cutting line 46 extending in the direction of the corner fold line referred to at an angle with the horizontal.
  • the nose is depicted in its starting position and in the left-hand portion in an inwardly bent position which has been obtained, starting from the starting position, by pushing the nose inwardly approximately at the location of the corner fold line.

  • the panel portions will slip into the inwardly bent position shown, which is a stable position, like the starting position.
  • the depicted panel 42 is extended to include a tab 48 connected with the panel 44 through a fold line 49.
  • the tab 48 is depicted in its starting or sliding position; in the left-hand portion in its locking or securing position, where the tab 48 has been turned inwards relative to its starting position into a substantially vertically upwardly directed position, where the tab 48 abuts against the undersurface of the flanged edge 43.
  • Such a tab 48 may be formed on each panel 44 or just on two opposite panels. This applies to tubular elements made from four panels as well as those made from any other number of panels, for instance six or eight. The same can be said about the handgrip opening 50, it being noted that such opening may further have a ventilation function, in particular if a tubular element is provided with a cover closing the top.
  • a cover may further have a bearing and stacking function.
  • a bearing and stacking function In the case of an open tubular element, such a function can be obtained by providing each panel with two fold lines 51 slanting upwards from the corner fold line and terminating at the upper edge of the tubular element 41.
  • inverted, inwardly pushable noses have been formed at the corners of the tubular element 41, these noses, in their inwardly pushed position, constituting points of support for a container to be placed thereon.
  • the tubular element 41 can be fitted and secured to the flanged edge 43 of the container 42 in the same manner as discussed above with reference to Fig. 2.
  • a further variant embodiment is indicated by means of a broken line 52.
  • the broken line 52 indicates that the tubular element 41 may be extended as far as the lower end of the container, where, if so desired, closing bottom parts may be present. It will be clear that the tab 48 is then formed by a U-shaped cut in the extended panel 44.
  • Fig. 4 shows a variant of the inwardly pushable tabs 10a or tab portions 11 according to Fig. 2 or of the inwardly pushable noses or tabs 48 according to Fig. 3.
  • the locking part is formed by providing two cutting lines 54 in a panel 53, one end of these cutting lines 54 being located on the corner fold line 55 between two panels and the other ends being connected by a fold line 56.
  • an inwardly pushable ear can be obtained, which is shown in Fig. 4 in its inwardly bent position, the free lower edge of the inwardly pushed ear being in contact with the upper surface of a flanged edge 57 of a container (not shown). It is noted that similarly it is possible to provide an inwardly pushed ear which engages the lower edge of the flanged edge.
  • FIG. 5 A further variant embodiment of a locking part is shown in Fig. 5.
  • a triangular, inwardly pushable tab 58 has been formed by providing two cutting lines 60 and 61 in a panel 59, these cutting lines meeting to form an L, whilst the free ends of those cutting lines 60 and 61 are connected with each other through a fold line 62.
