- the carton blank of the first embodiment is moved forward continuously, it is constructed in the manner shown in Figures 2 to 5 and is applied to an array of articles A, for example four articles A arranged in a two by two formation, whereby the top panel 16 is supported by the tops of the articles.
- the first stage is shown in Figure 2 whereby the side panel 18 is folded out of alignment with top panel 16 along fold line 26 and base panel 20 is folded out of alignment with side panel 16 along fold line 28 so that side and base panel 18 and 20 are folded inwardly in direction X.
- side panel 18 and base panel 20 are folded the construction of the article retention structures 29, 47, described below, may take place, automatically.
- Each article retention structure is formed in a substantially like manner so only the construction of article retention structure 29 will now be described. It is usual for the retention structures on a blank to be formed at substantially the same time by a suitable arrangement of guides and/or locating means.
- article retention structure 29 is formed by, first, folding upper gusset panel 30 about fold line 26 such that it is folded into face contacting relationship with top panel 16 shown in Figures 2 and 3.
- upper gusset panel 30 As upper gusset panel 30 is folded inwards in direction Y ( Figure 3) towards top panel 16, it is folded out of alignment with side retention panel 32 along fold line 34 into a substantially perpendicular relationship which causes the side retention panel 32 to be moved out of alignment along fold line 36 with side wall panel 18 and into an angular relationship with base panel 20. Thus, the side retention panel 32 may be caused to taper inwardly towards the base panel 20, as shown in Figure 3.
- the upper gusset panel 30, and in those embodiments with tab 31 can be secured to the top panel 16 by glue or other suitable means known in the art.
- the opposing article retention structure 47 is formed in a similar manner, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
- the articles A are then loaded into the carrier from the side or from the end by suitable packaging machinery with the tabs 31, 43 positioned between the top of the adjacent articles and the inner face of the top panel, shown in Figure 4.
- the articles are held in place by abutment with the inner edges 54, 56 of panels 32 and 44.
- the shape of the base panel 20 allows articles to be placed in the protruding portion 58 of base panel 20, adjacent side wall panel 18.
- base and side wall panels 12, 14 is completed by folding these panels along fold lines 22 and 24 respectively so that a portion of base panel 12 is placed in face contacting relationship with a corresponding overlapping portion of base panel 20 and is secured together to form a base structure, by glue or other means known in the art as illustrated in Figure 5.
- the carton is in a fully erected and loaded condition.
- Figure 5 illustrates a carton formed from a blank of the first embodiment shown in Figure 1. More particularly, there is illustrated an article carrier for holding articles with tapered sides, for example connected plastic cups, comprising a top wall 16, opposed side walls 14, 18 and a base 12, 20 hingedly connected together to form a tubular structure and wherein there further comprises article retention means 29, 47 hingedly connected to one of said side walls 14 and said base 12, which article retention means is formed by a pair of interconnected panels formed from adjacent carton walls and inwardly folded to retain the articles within the carton.
- an article carrier for holding articles with tapered sides, for example connected plastic cups, comprising a top wall 16, opposed side walls 14, 18 and a base 12, 20 hingedly connected together to form a tubular structure and wherein there further comprises article retention means 29, 47 hingedly connected to one of said side walls 14 and said base 12, which article retention means is formed by a pair of interconnected panels formed from adjacent carton walls and inwardly folded to retain the articles within the carton.
- the articles are held in place by the article retention structures, to prevent unwanted removal.
- the retention structures are prevented from collapsing by the tabs 31, 43 being engaged between the articles A and the top panel 16.
- the carton blank 110 of the second embodiment is constructed in a similar manner to the first embodiment, whereby it is moved forward continuously as it is constructed in the manner shown in Figures 7 to 11. It is applied to an article T, for example a tray, whereby the top panel 116 is supported by the top of the article.
- the first stage of construction is shown in Figures 7 and 8 whereby the top panel 116 is brought into contact with the top of the tray T. Thereafter, side panels 114 and 118 are folded out of alignment with top panel 116 along fold lines 124 and 126 respectively to wraparound the article. Outer base panel 120 is folded out of alignment with inner base panel 119 along fold line 128, shown in Figure 9, so that base panel 120 is folded outwardly in direction X. As side panel 118 and outer base panel 120 are folded the construction of the article retention structures occurs, described in more detail below.
- Each article retention structure is formed in a like manner so only the construction of article retention structure 129 will now be described. It is usual for the retention structures on a blank to be formed at substantially the same time by a suitable arrangement of guides and/or locating means.
- article retention structure 129 is formed by, first, folding gusset panel 130 inwardly about fold line 134. In one class of embodiments, this is achieved automatically when the outer base panel 120 is folded out of alignment with inner base panel 119.
- FIG. 9 This folding action is illustrated in Figure 9 and it will be seen that as gusset panel 130 is folded inwardly, it is also folded out of alignment with side retention panel 132 along fold line 134 into a substantially perpendicular relationship. Also, side retention panel 132 is caused to be moved out of alignment with side panel 118 and into an angular relationship with top panel 116 along fold line 126. Thus, the side retention panel 132 may be caused to taper inwardly with respect to side panel 118 because fold lines 128 and 134 are offset, in the vertical plane.
- inner base panel 119 is folded out of alignment with side panel 118 along fold line 117 and side retention panels 132a and 132b are caused to be folded out of alignment along fold line 136.
- the opposing article retention structure 147 is formed in a similar manner, as shown in Figures 7, 8 and 9.
- inner base panel 119 is folded inwardly in direction W, shown in Figure 10, which increases the spacing between the side retention panel 132 and side wall panel 118.
- Base panel 119 is folded into abutment with the base of the article T along fold line 117 and outer base panel 120 is folded towards gusset panels 130 and 142 in direction Y along fold line 128 into face contacting relationship with gusset panels 130, 142 and tabs 131, 142.
- side retention panels 132 and 144 are thus positioned across the end face of the carton to prevent the tray from sliding out of either end of the carton.
- gusset panel 130 and in those embodiments with tab 131, can be secured to the top panel 116 by glue or other suitable means known in the art.
- Base panels 112, 120 are secured together by suitable means known in the art, whereby the locking tabs 172 are inserted through the slits 168, 170 to be engaged therewith.
- the shoulder portions are engaged by the abutment with securing panel 160 shown in Figure 11.
- the article carrier is in a set up and erected condition as shown in Figure 12 in which there comprises a top wall 116, opposed side walls 114, 118 and a base wall 120, 112 hingedly connected together to form a tubular structure and wherein there further comprises article retention means hingedly connected to said top wall and said base wall, which article retention means is formed by a pair of interconnected panels 130, 132 formed from adjacent carton walls and inwardly folded to retain the article within the carton.
- the article T is held in place by abutment with the inner edges of side retention panels 132 and 144 to prevent unwanted removal.
- gusset panels 130, 142 and/or tabs 131, 143 are positioned between the bottom of the article T and the inner face of base panel 120 to prevent the retention structures from collapsing.
- hinged connection should not be construed as necessarily referring to a single fold line only: indeed it is envisaged that hinged connection can be formed from one or more of one of the following, a score line, a frangible line or a fold line, without departing from the scope of invention.
- the present invention and its preferred embodiment relates to an article carrier that is shaped to provide satisfactory strength to hold articles securely, but with a degree of flexibility so that during transit the articles are retained within the carrier.
- the shape of the blank minimises the amount of paperboard required and the carrier can be applied to an array of articles by hand or automatic machinery. It is anticipated that the invention can be applied to a variety of carriers and is not limited to those of the wraparound type hereinabove described.
- the carton may be adapted to carry a greater or lesser number of articles without departing from the scope of the invention.
