Definitions

  • This invention relates to packaging for the carriage of footwear, a method of manufacture thereof, and to a method of transporting footwear.
  • Newly manufactured boots or shoes are traditionally placed in pairs in separate rectangular boxes for transportation to their point of sale. To maintain optimum condition of the contents, these shoe boxes are substantially rigid and copious tissue paper or the like is used to cushion the contents and prevent their movement during transit.
  • packaging for the carriage of footwear comprising a non-rigid container cut from two stacked rectangular sheets sealed together at their edges .
  • the container is provided with fastening means at its cut edge.
  • the container comprises complementarily shaped compartments cut from the same stacked rectangular sheets.
  • each compartment is adapted to accommodate boots or shoes.
  • the compartments may be connected for the compartmentalised carriage of a pair of boots or shoes.
  • compartments and their connection are cut in one piece from the same stacked rectangular sheets.
  • This connection may serve as handle for the container.
  • This connection may serve as a hanger for the container.
  • a portion of a compartment may be removed to leave a space which may serve as a handle for the container. This space may serve as a hanger for the container.
  • compartments cut from the same stacked rectangular sheets may be utilised as separate containers.
  • the container is adapted for suspension from a hook.
  • the container is adapted to hang over a rail.
  • a method of manufacture of a container for the carriage of footwear comprising the steps of stacking two rectangular sheets of material, sealing the sheets together at their edges to form a compartment, cutting from a sealed first edge towards an opposite sealed second edge to divide the compartment, leaving the second seal intact to form a connecting piece to connect the divided compartment, providing fastening means for the cut edges of the divided compartment to form separate compartments, and twisting the connecting piece to form a handle.
  • support apparatus for the container of the first aspect of the invention comprising a moveable frame.
  • the frame is collapsible.
  • Said frame may have vertical rails provided with hooks.
  • Said frame may have horizontal rails.
  • the horizontal rails are provided with hooks.
  • Said horizontal rail may comprise buffers to restrict movement of containers hung thereover.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of a rectangular compartment for the first aspect of the present invention, showing the line of cut to form two distinct connected compartments;
  • Figure 2 is a plan view of the rectangular compartment, " showing the line of cut to form two distinct unconnected compartments;
  • Figure 3 is a side view of a container
  • FIG. 4 and 5 show handle and hanging details
  • Figures 6a, 6b and 6c show possible combinations of compartment shapes which can be cut from the rectangular compartment
  • Figure 7 shows connected compartments hanging from a rail by means of the connecting handle
  • Figures 8a and 8b show designer versions of the compartments ;
  • Figure 9 shows a horizontal rail with buffers
  • Figure 10 shows hooks on a vertical rail and on a wire depending from a hook
  • Figure 11 shows a hangable moveable frame with vertical rails
  • Figure 12 shows a hangable moveable frame with horizontal rails
  • Figure 13 and Figure 14 show further embodiments of support frames.
  • a container is formed from two congruent sheets 2 of heavy duty transparent plastic. The outer edges 4, 6 of these sheets are heat sealed together to form a flat rectangular compartment 1.
  • Complimentary shapes are cut from this rectangle to form a container or containers.
  • the shapes tessellate to reform the rectangle, and there is thus no wastage.
  • the cut 12 is usually in the shape of a curve commencing near a side of a first sealed edge 4 and extending towards an opposite sealed edge 6.
  • the cut 12 is halted just before the second sealed edge 6.
  • This division of the sealed rectangle 1 forms two separate compartments 10, 14.
  • the uncut portion 16 of the sealed edge connects the compartments 10, 14. This connection may be twisted to form a handle 18.
  • These separate compartments are each used to house one of a pair of boots 20.
  • a boot is placed in the compartment through the open cut edge 22 which is provided with fasteners 24 or plastic strip fastening and sealed once the contents are inserted.
  • fasteners 24 or plastic strip fastening and sealed once the contents are inserted.
  • the handle 18 can be used to transport an individual pair of compartments 10 14 or alternatively be used to suspend a pair of shoes or boots from a wire 24 or similar rail.
  • This rail may have buffers 48 to discourage the compartments from movement along the rack 24. Sealed pairs of rectangles may simply be stored until a user requires them to be cut for use as containers. Mass production of such sheets 2 from heavy duty plastic will provide packaging for mass produced shoes.
  • the same basic format can be used to manufacture separate bags.
  • One compartment may be used to house both of a pair of shoes 28, for example in Figure 6c, if the shoes are soft and contact is not a problem.
  • a portion of the compartment may be cut away to form a handle 30.
  • the remainder of the rectangle from which such a compartment is formed may be used to form a other distinct compartments.
  • compartments may be stored with economical use of space.
  • One method of storage is to suspend the compartments from vertical rails 32 provided with hooks 34 on which the compartments may hang .
  • hooks 36 may be provided on a vertical or horizontal surface from which wires 38 or threads, from which the compartments may depend, are suspended.
  • a rack 40 with horizontal rails 42 from which the compartments may hang is provided.
  • This rack 40 is provided with a hook 44 to allow for its hanging in a window or on a wall for display purposes.
  • the rack is also provided with castors 46 for ease of movement.
  • the rails 42 also have hooks 48 from which the compartments may hang.
  • An alternative rack 50 has vertical rails 52 and separate hooks 54 for hanging bags, and is again moveable for transportation and display purposes.
  • These racks 40,50,54,56 may be collapsible for storage and return to footwear manufacturers.

Abstract

Cet emballage est particulièrement utile pour ranger et protéger des chaussures (20) de façon économique. Il est fabriqué à partir d'une quantité minimum de feuilles plastiques (2), ce qui évite d'utiliser les quantités excessives habituelles de papier et de carton des boîtes à chaussures classiques par exemple.
