Definitions

  • the carton incorporates two securing cells or display windows (C1, C2) constructed from partition sections (96, 98) as illustrated in Figure 2.
  • partition section (96) is struck from side panel (16) and end panel (22) along opposing cut lines (50, 52).
  • Partition section (96) is hinged to side panel (16) along fold line (46) and hinged to strengthening panel (24) along fold line (40).
  • this partition section will define an individual cell.
  • this section comprises inner side panel (29a) and inner support panel (29b) hingably connected together along fold line (47).
  • Partition section (98) is struck from side panel (16) and end panel (26) along opposing cut lines (54, 56). Partition section (98) is hinged to side panel (16) along fold line (48) and hinged to strengthening panel (28) along fold line (44). When the carton is in a set up condition this partition section will define an individual cell. Turning in more detail to partition section (98), this section comprises inner support panel (29c) and inner side panel (29d) hingably connected together along fold line (49).
  • top panel (114), side panel (116), bottom panel (118) and a portion of support panel 120 cooperate to form a hollow display box.
  • End panels (122, 126) provide closures for the box, with strengthening panels (124, 128) being secured, such as by gluing, to support panel (120) to maintain the box in set up condition.
  • Side panel (116) provides a display face for the package, while support panel (120) provides a back panel.
  • support panels (112, 120) together cooperate to provide the panel from which the package may be hung.
  • the articles are retained within the cells of the carton and can be partially viewed through the display window apertures created when partition sections (196, 198) are moved out of alignment with side panel (116) and corresponding end panels (122, 126).
  • FIG. 5 there is a shown a carton blank (210) made from paperboard or similar foldable sheet material.
  • the blank comprises a series of panels hinged one to the next.
  • support panel (212) is hingeably connected to top panel (214) along fold line (230) thereby enabling panels (212, 214) to be placed in a substantially perpendicular relationship.
  • Top panel (214) is connected by way of fold line (232) to side panel (216), thereby enabling panels (214, 216) to be placed in a substantially perpendicular relationship.
  • Partition section (398) is struck from side panel (316) and end panel (326) along opposing cut lines (356, 358). Partition section (298) is hinged to side panel (316) along fold line (348) and hinged to strengthening panel (328) along fold line (344). When the carton is in a set up condition this partition section will define an individual cell. Turning in more detail to partition section (298), this section comprises inner support panel (329e), intermediate panel (329g) and inner side panel (329f) hingeably connected one to next along fold line (351, 349). Tab (329h) is hingeably connected to support panel (329g) along fold line (364).
  • strengthening panel (324) is folded along fold line (340) into a substantially perpendicular relationship with end panel (322).
  • Strengthening panel (328) is also folded along fold line (344) into a perpendicular relationship with corresponding end panel (326).
  • Strengthening panel (324, 328) are thus brought into a face to face relationship with partition sections (396, 398) respectively and are connected thereto by glue or other suitable means.
  • strengthening panel (424) is folded along fold line (440) into a substantially perpendicular relationship with end panel (422).
  • Strengthening panel (428) is also folded along fold line (444) into a perpendicular relationship with corresponding end panel (426).
  • Strengthening panels (424, 428) are thus brought into a face to face relationship with partition sections (496, 498) respectively and are connected thereto by glue or other suitable means.
