Definitions

  • This invention relates to a holder for flat articles, in particular to a holder for storage and dispensation of flat articles such as folded paper napkins or serviettes.
  • the invention further relates to blanks from which such holders for flat articles are made.
  • This invention therefore, provides a free-standing holder for flat articles, which comprises:-
  • This invention further provides a blank for a free-standin holder according to the invention, the blank being provided with:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective drawing of one example of an erected, rectangular cross-section holder according to the invention
  • Figure 2 is a similar perspective drawing of a modified example of an erected, substantially rectangular cross- section holder according to the invention
  • Figure 3 is a similar perspective drawing of an erected, triangular cross-section holder according to the invention.
  • Figure 4 is a similar perspective drawing of an erected, semi-cylindrical cross-section holder according to the invention.
  • Figure 5 is a blank which can be formed into the holder of Figure 4; and Figure 6 is a blank which can be formed into the holder o Figure 3.
  • flat articles refers in particular to such things as folded napkins or serviettes, an application to which the invention is particularly suited.
  • flat articles also includes such things as coasters and, in an office environment, cards and files.
  • a wall portion or portions includes the case where two substantially vertical walls terminate in or merge into a top (as viewed in use) wall or roof portion.
  • Suitable examples of the material from which the holder according to the invention, and also the blank according to the invention, may be made are: relatively rigid or stiff paper or paper-like material such as card paper or cardboard or a relatively thin plastics material.
  • Other, but less preferred, examples are thin metal or even wood, particularly where the wood may have been coated or veneered with a suitable plastics material to improve foldability and durability.
  • the selection of a suitable material will depend in the main upon a decision whether to retain or dispose of the holder according to the invention after one or several uses. Retention of such a holder would tend to favour selection of a more durable material.
  • the material used may be coloured or not, coated with a material such as gold or gold-
  • TITUTESHEET coloured foil or not. This selection will depend on th aesthetic effect desired.
  • the blank i typically relatively elongated and conveniently divided int three portions.
  • the central portion may comprise a numbe of parallel, longitudinal slots to accommodate the flat article and two end portions which may be joined together to form a bas portion.
  • the joining may be, for example, by conventiona tongues and grooves or by adhesive of a selected type, whethe permanent adhesive or adhesive of the type which may be used t adhere temporarily for a limited use.
  • the adhesive may be protected by an adhesive strip. Another method of joining is to use staples.
  • the holder device of the invention has been described in a specific orientation using relative spatial terms such as “base”, “side walls” and “top wall” it will be appreciated that the device could have, for example, only one curvedside wall and could be placed on its side. Accordingly, I do not wish to be limited by the specific descriptions of spatial configuration. Furthermore, the number of ribs and therefore slots could be varied in size, width and number from those actually illustrated in the embodiments.
  • a holder for serviettes is generally of rectangular configuration in section or end profile and is preferably made as an integral one-piece structure and comprises a flat base 10 which has a continuous or uninterrupted surface, two flat or planar (and “interrupted", in the sense of having slots) side walls 11 and 12, and a flat or planar (and interrupted) top wall 13. Both ends are open.
  • the bottom portion of each side wall has a continuous or uninterrupted surface 14, 15 while the remaining portion and top wall are interrupted.
  • the slots are formed by a plurality of parallel, equispaced, separator strips such as those portions labelled 16, 17 on respective side walls and those portions labelled 18 and 19 on the top wall. Examples of slots are those labelled 20 and 21 respectively. Each slot enables a standard-size disposable serviette to be placed therein with a corner projecting from the top of the holder.
  • the holder enables ready dispensing of single items.
  • Figure 2 of the drawings is similar to that of Figure 1 with a base 110 and side walls 111, 112 and side wall bottom portions 114, 115 respectively of the same configuration and with separator strips in the side walls such as those labelled 116 and 117.
  • the separator strips of the top wall such as those labelled 118 and 119, collectively form uniformly-curved surface which is interrupted by slots openings 120, 121 between the strips for storage and dispensin of folded serviettes.
  • the bas 210, side walls 211, 212 and bottom portion 214, 215 of the sid walls are of the same configuration and structure but the to wall has been eliminated.
  • the top wall strips suc as the two labelled 216 and 217 form both side walls.
  • Slots 22 and 221 are formed between the strips and the side walls for with the base a triangular integral or one-piece structur wherein the walls merge into the base.
  • the holder of Figure 4 is shown manufactured for sale as a flat cardpaper blank for assemblyby a purchaser/user.
  • the blank has a tab 324 on one end and a tab-receiving slit 325 adjacent the edge of the other end.
  • the blank also has two fold line designated 325, 326.

Abstract

Un support d'objets plats possède, dans différentes versions, une base plate ou verticale et une ou plusieurs parois latérales intégrales possédant plusieurs bandes de séparation (16, 17) espacées l'une de l'autre et formant des fentes (18, 19) conçues pour supporter et présenter des objets plats tels que des serviettes en papier jetables individuelles. Une version rectangulaire du support comprend une base plate (10) avec une surface continue ou ininterrompue, des parois latérales plates (11, 12) et une face supérieure plate (13), les parois et la face supérieure ayant une certaine quantité de bandes de séparation communes (16, 17) formant des fentes (18, 19). Une version semi-rectangulaire comprend une base (110), deux parois latérales (111, 112) et une face supérieure courbe (113); les parois et la face supérieure ont des fentes communes (120, 121). Une autre version comprend une paroi semi-circulaire (311) avec des fentes (320, 321). Ces versions peuvent être fabriquées et vendues sous forme d'ébauches plates en papier carton avec une patte (322) à une extrémité et une fente (323) pour recevoir cette patte à côté du bord (314) de l'autre extrémité et povuant comporter deux lignes de pliage transversales (325, 326). Dans le cas de la version semi-triangulaire, il y a une troisième ligne de pliage médiane transversale (327).
