Definitions

  • This invention relates to an article carrier of the so called top gripping type which is particularly, although not exclusively, suitable for holding together a plurality of bottles at the neck portions of the bottles in two or more rows.
  • Top gripping carriers for bottles are well known.
  • U.S. Patent No. 2, 823,063 discloses a top engaging carrier having an internal double ply reinforcing partition.
  • One of the partition-forming panels has a glue flap that extends from the bottom wall and is attached to the top wall of the carrier.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,318,476 discloses a top-engaging carrier having a so called billboard panel depending from one of the side walls.
  • the billboard panel is normally used for carrying sales information and/or for advertising.
  • the carrier In blank form, the carrier has its billboard panel at one end of the blank.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,135,104 discloses a top engaging carrier having a billboard panel and an upstanding reinforcing structure formed from a pair of mutually hinged panels. When the carrier is in blank form, the hinged panels are located between a pair of wall-forming panels.
  • US 3,640,563 discloses an article carrier as defined in the preamble of claim 1 and a blank for forming an article carrier as defined in the preamble of claim 6.
  • US 3,612,266 illustrates a carrier for supporting two rows of articles comprising means to secure the panels to the articles.
  • the carrier comprises side panels and overlapping top panels which are locked above the article crowns.
  • One aspect of the invention provides an article carrier according to claim 1.
  • said partition structure may further comprises a third panel element foldably joined to an upper edge of one of said first and second panel elements, said third panel element being secured to said upper wall.
  • one of said wall-forming panel portions may have an outer side edge disposed along said one side wall, said one wall-forming panel being provided with a glue flap foldably joined thereto along said outer side edge, said glue flap being secured to said one side wall whereby said one wall-forming panel is connected to said one side wall.
  • a billboard panel may be joined to a lower edge of said one side wall.
  • each of said upper and lower walls may have a plurality of article-receiving apertures, said apertures in said upper wall being disposed in register respectively with said apertures in said lower wall.
  • an article carrier 10 of the top gripping type is formed from a blank 12 of paper board or similar foldable sheet material, the blank comprising a series of panels hinged one to the next along transverse fold lines.
  • the blank comprises a billboard panel 14, a first side wall panel 16, a top wall panel 18, and a second side wall panel 20, a first wall-forming panel portion 22, a composite partition structure S which comprises panel elements S1, S2, and S3, a second wall-forming panel portion 24 and a glue flap 26 hinged one to the next along transverse fold lines 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42 and 44 respectively.
  • the top wall panel 18 includes an array of so called sun-burst apertures A1-A4 in which the upper neck portions of the bottles are to be received.
  • sun-burst apertures each include an annular array of tabs "t" which engage beneath the rim of the crown cork or other top fastener of the bottle to secure the neck of the bottle in the carrier.
  • Each of the base panels 22 and 24 include a pair of apertures A5; A6 and A7; A8, respectively which, when the carrier is put into its set up condition as shown in figure 2, are brought into register with respective pairs of the apertures in the top wall panel 18.
  • the top wall panel 18 includes a finger hole H and the panel element S1 also includes a finger hole H1.
  • the glue flap 26 is adhered to the lower portion of side wall panel 16 adjacent the billboard panel 14 and the partition structure S is set up so that the panel element S1 is upstanding parallel to the glue flap 26, the side wall 16 and the panel element S3.
  • the panel element S2 is foldably joined to the uppermost edge 38 of the panel element S1 and is folded through approximately 90 about fold line 38 and secured to the underside of the top panel 18.
  • the panel element S3, which is foldably joined along interrupted fold line 40 to the panel element S1 on either side of the panel element S2 is folded downwardly through approximately 180 into face to face contacting relationship with the lower portion of the panel element S1.
  • the billboard panel 14 When the carrier is in its set up condition as shown in Figure 2, the billboard panel 14 is able to depend downwardly against the shoulders of one pair of bottles to provide a panel on which sales and/or advertising material can be displayed to view.
  • the internal partition structure which is of multi-ply form, is thus formed from material disposed intermediately between the ends of the blank but is strong enough to brace the carrier for use.
  • the carrier is able to fold into a flat collapsed condition for transport and supply in a direction to the left of the observer as viewed in Figure 2 of the drawings.
