Definitions

  • the invention is generally directed to a cradling device in a carton to cradle a contained object and lock it in place and, in particular, to a carton including a cradling mechanism which can be used with automatic loading machinery, carton erectors and fillers.
  • the invention is generally directed to a carton including outer walls and an inner cradling mechanism having oppositely disposed walls with cutout regions and adapted to receive the shoulders of a bottle or other container and flexing scores proximate the cutout regions for allowing machine loading of the object into the container.
  • Another goal of the invention is to provide an improved cradling device for supporting or holding a bottle within a carton in which the cradling device is defined by two, spaced, parallel walls or partitions which are foldable or erectable from flaps integral with the side walls of the carton, the carton being constructed from a single paperboard blank.
  • the parallel walls each include opposing de-shaped apertures for retaining a cylindrical shoulder and cap of the bottle therebetween.
  • the portion of the cradling walls disposed above the apertures are provided with fold lines to allow the bottle to be installed and removed without damaging the packaging.
  • a further goal of the invention is to provide an improved cradling device for fragile items which may be assembled and then loaded with automatic equipment.
  • Still another goal of the invention is to provide an improved cradling inner shell device for folding cartons adapted to receive bottles with shoulders.
  • Still a further goal of the invention is to provide an improved cradling device added to hold and lock a product in place in a carton which can be machine erected and loaded with product, where the product consists of any bottle or container with a shoulder.
  • Yet another goal of the invention is to provide an improved cradling device to hold and lock product in place in which the carton can be machine erected and loaded with product including flexing scores to allow non-destructive movement of the cradling device during loading and unloading.
  • Carton 110 includes an outer container section 110 and a cradling section 120.
  • Outer container section 110 includes four generally rectangular sides and a top and a bottom section with interlocking flaps.
  • a bridging section 111 which connects outer container portion 110 and cradling portion 120, is connected to one of the sections of outer container portion 110 to form a generally rectangular box. It also anchors cradling section 120.
  • An additional flap 112 is used to secure the other side of cradling device 120 to the inside of the outside container walls 110.
  • a central section 113 is likewise attached to the inner surface of outer container walls 110, thereby placing sections 118 and 119 in a generally parallel relationship in the interior of container 100.
  • cutouts 115 from panels 118, 119 are adapted to receive the shoulder of a bottle or the cap of a bottle. Score lines 116 above cutouts 115 enable the upper portion of panels 118 and 119 to flex outwardly as the bottle is placed downwardly into container 100.
  • Container blank 200 includes an outer container section 110, transition section 111, outer flap 112 and panel 113 as in Fig. 1.
  • the cradling portion 120 of Fig. 2 likewise includes panels 118 and 119 as in the embodiment of Fig. 1.
  • the cutouts 121 have a different shape and orientation than do the cutouts in the embodiment of Fig. 1.
  • FIG. 3 a top plan view of container 200 in an assembled form is depicted. The view is shown with the top and top side flaps of the container in their open, upright condition prior to sealing the container. Panels 118 and 119 are also shown with the upper portions folded along score lines 122, 123 in an exaggerated form to show the manner in which this upper portion can move outwardly to allow the shoulder or cap of the bottle to slide into cutouts 121.
  • the cartons shown include an inner cell partition which is used to cradle a contained object and lock it in place.
  • the carton can be used with automatic machinery equipment which will erect the carton in the machine and will automatically fill the carton with the bottle or other object.
  • the carton cradling construction can be used to accommodate different board calipers and bottle or container sizes. While the cradling device for a folding carton has been shown in connection with cutout regions as shown, cutout regions of different shapes or locations can be utilized with varying container shapes. In addition, more or less score lines can be added as appropriate to make the cradling device more flexible for machine insertion of the object to be cradled. In addition, multiple cutouts can be utilized where appropriate for either multiple objects to be held or due to the shape of the object to be held.
  • an improved foldable carton for packaging a bottle or other fragile article including a cradling device for supporting and holding the bottle or other fragile article within the carton.
  • the cradling device is defined by two, spaced, generally parallel walls or partitions which are foldable or erectable from flaps integral with the side walls of the carton, the carton being constructed from a paperboard blank.
  • the parallel walls each include opposing D-shaped or oval shaped apertures for retaining a cylindrical shoulder and/or cap of the bottle therebetween.
  • a portion of the cradling walls disposed above the apertures are provided with one or more fold lines to allow the bottle to be installed or removed by machine without damaging the packaging.
