Definitions

  • the invention relates to a carton produced for packaging a plurality of articles, for example, bottles. More particularly, the invention relates to a carton which attaches to the tops of the articles thereby securing the articles in an array.
  • top gripping cartons which comprise so called “sunburst” apertures having a series of circumferentially arranged tabs which enable a bottle top to pass through the aperture which tabs engage on the underside of a bottle top or on the flange of a bottle neck to prevent the removal of the bottle from the aperture.
  • sunburst type apertures are used for bottles sealed using so called “crown corks".
  • the location in which the tab engages on the underside of the bottle top is by its location high up the bottle neck, which creates a carton that is unstable. Further, the tabs are weakened by the unstable nature of the bottles within the carton so reducing its effectiveness.
  • US 3 772 945 there is shown a carrier with a top panel comprising support tabs to support the upper part of an article contained in the carrier.
  • a further problem associated with the prior art is that a top gripping carton needs to be of sufficient strength to support the bottles.
  • a rigid structure would address this problem but produces its own difficulties.
  • the top panel and or base panel does not provide requisite rigidity and sufficient strength to support the bottles.
  • the present invention and its preferred embodiments seek to overcome the difficulties by forming a box structure in which both the top and base are engaged on the bottle flanges. Additional support is provided to maintain the top and base panels in a spaced arrangement while additional strength is provided by multi-layering the panels. Therefore, the board can be reduced in thickness without reducing the strength needed to hold the bottles.
  • a first aspect of the invention provides a carton of the top gripping type which carton comprises a top panel and a base panel, the base panel having container receiving apertures to accommodate containers received in parallel rows, retaining tabs for each aperture in which each retaining tab is formed from material taken from the base panel to form the associated aperture and folded out of the plane of the base panel to assist, together with like retaining tabs, in holding a container received in that aperture, characterised by an internal panel disposed between the top panel and the base panel and between the container rows, the internal panel having a first bracing tab connected thereto such that the internal panel and the bracing tab together provide a brace between a pair of containers in adjacent rows and a brace between the top and base panel, the internal panel and the bracing tab thereby together enhancing the stability of the carton.
  • one of the retaining tabs has a notch along the distal edge thereof and the adjacent first bracing tab has an engaging edge received in the notch so as to engage the container.
  • the top internal panel is connected to a second top panel which second top panel is provided opposed and spaced from the base panel.
  • the bracing tab is disposed in contact with one of the retaining tabs to hold that retaining tab in engagement with a container held within an article receiving aperture.
  • the internal panel further comprises a second bracing tab for engaging the underside of a radially protruding part of a container adjacent to said one container, said second bracing tab being oppositely disposed said first bracing tab.
  • the internal panel is disposed between one container and an adjacent container to minimise relative movement between one and adjacent containers.
  • the internal panel abuts the base panel to minimise relative movement between the top and base panels.
  • each aperture is defined by a pair of said retaining tabs struck from the base panel, said retaining tabs being disposed in substantially opposed positions.
  • a second aspect of the invention provides a blank for forming a carton of the top gripping type, the carton for accommodating containers received in parallel rows, the blank comprising a top panel and a base panel the base panel having a container-receiving aperture, a retaining tab formed from the material taken from the base panel to form the associated aperture, characterised by an internal panel connected to the top panel, the internal panel having a first bracing tab connected thereto, such that when the blank is set up into a carton, the internal panel and first bracing tab together providing a brace between a pair of containers held in adjacent rows and a brace between the top and base panel, the internal panel and the first bracing tab thereby together enhancing the stability of the carton.
  • the retaining tab has a notch along a distal edge thereof and the first bracing tab has an engaging edge received in the notch so as to engage the container in a set up condition.
  • a second top panel is provided and is spaced from the base panel by a side wall panel.
  • bracing tab connected to said internal panel, the second bracing tab is provided to engage the underside of a radially protruding part of an adjacent container in a set up condidon.
  • each aperture is defined by a pair of said retaining tabs struck from the base panel, said retaining tabs being disposed in substantially opposed positions.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a carton blank 10 for forming a top gripping carton and made from paperboard or similar foldable sheet material.
  • the blank 10 comprises an inner top panel 12, a first side panel 14, a base panel 16, a second side panel 18, and an outer top panel 20 hingably connected one to the next along fold lines 22, 24, 26 and 28 respectively.
  • Three support tabs 30 or internal panels 30 are struck from inner top panel 12 being laterally aligned and spaced intermediate the side edges of inner top panel 12.
  • Each internal panel 30 is hingably connected to inner top panel 12 along a respective one of fold lines 32, being configured and longitudinally intermediate the end edge of panel 12 and fold line 22.
  • Each shoulder portion or bracing tab 36, 38 comprises a substantially linear upper edge 44 and 46 respectively each edge 44, 46 being in an angular relationship with main portion 34, and shaped to engage the underside of a radially protruding part of an article when the carton is in a set up condition. It is envisaged that the position and shape of these edges 44, 46 will vary according to the shape of the radially protruding part of the article.
  • the main portion 34 is approximately equal in length to side panels 14, 18.
  • the two further support tabs (internal panels) 30 each comprise a main portion and shoulder portion (bracing tab) being similar in shape and configuration to the support tab hereinbefore described and are therefore not described in any greater detail.
  • base panel 16 is formed with three pairs of receiving apertures 74, 75, 76 formed by retaining tabs 48, 50, 80, 82 being struck from base panel 16 adjacent to fold line 24 and laterally spaced intermediate the side edges of base panel 16.
  • Each tab is struck from and hingably connected to base panel 16 along fold line 24 with its distal edge 52 extending inwardly of base panel 16.
  • Tab 48 comprises opposed side edged 54, 56 which curve outwardly to the distal edge 52, such that the distal edge 52 is longer than the edge 60 connected to base panel 16.
  • a second tab 50 is hingably connected to base panel 16 along fold line 62 positioned in a central region of base panel 16.
  • Tab 50 is oppositely disposed to tab 48 with its distal edge 64 juxtaposed the distal edge 52 of tab 48.
  • the side edges 66, 68 are curved outwardly towards its distal edge 64 to provide an distal edge 64 which is longer than fold line 62 connected to the base panel 16.
  • the curved side edges 54, 56; 66, 68 of tabs 48 and 50 respectively define a substantially circular aperture 70, shown in Figure 2, when the tabs 48, 50 are in a set up condition.
  • an elongate aperture 72 is struck from the central portion of tabs 48 and 50 to provide a small notch N along each of their respective distal edges 52, 64.
  • the other two pairs of apertures 75, 76 are substantially identical to the first pair of retaining tabs 74 and are not therefore described in any greater detail.
  • Base panel 16 is also formed with three further pairs of receiving apertures being struck from base panel 16 adjacent to fold line 26 and laterally spaced intermediate side edges of base panel 16.
  • Side panel 14 comprises three apertures 106 struck from fold line 22 being spaced one to next intermediate side edges of side panel 14. Each aperture 106 is “yoke” like in shape to define a portion 108 of panel 12 which extends into side panel 14. Likewise, side panel 18 comprise three apertures 110 struck from fold line 28 each being spaced one to next intermediate side edges of side panel 18. Each aperture 110 is “yoke” like in shape to define a portion 112 of panel 20 which extends into side panel 18.
  • a handle tab 114 is struck from and hingably connected to a central portion of outer top panel 20 along fold line 116.
  • handle tab 114 is substantially aligned with central support tab 30 of inner top panel 12 when the carton is in a set up condition.
  • the blank requires a series of sequential folding and gluing operations which can be performed in a straight line machine so that the carton is not required to be rotated or inverted to complete its construction.
  • the folding process is not limited to that described below and can be altered according to particular manufacturing requirements.
  • bottles B are grouped together in two rows of three bottles B and the blank 10 is introduced to the group from above by relative vertical movement between the bottles B and the blank 10 during forward feed movement well known in the art
  • Each pair of retaining tabs are folded along their respective fold lines 24, 62; 26, 94 and out of their general plane with respect to base panel 16 to create article receiving apertures 70, 102 shown in Figure 2.
  • the upper portions or neck portions of the bottles enter their respective apertures until the distal edges 52, 64; 86, 96 of the retaining tabs come into contact with the radially protruding parts, e.g., the respective crown corks, of the bottles B associated within each of the apertures.
  • the edge of each article receiving apertures are in contact with the neck portion of each of the respective bottles B to provide additional support.
  • each of the tabs 48, 50; 84, 92 engages the underside of the respective crown cork C. It is advantageous to incorporate such notches for more accurate alignment of the tabs and/or to provide a tab which comes into contact with more of the underside of the crown cork than conventional tabs.
  • side panel 14 is folded about fold line 24 and inner top panel 12 is folded about fold line 22 so that inner top panel 12 is disposed over the crown corks C and in a substantially parallel and spaced relationship with base panel 16.
  • Support tabs 30 are folded along fold lines 32 out of their general plane and towards base panel 16. In this embodiment, the distal edge of main portions 34 abut base panel 16 to maintain the spacing between panels 12 and 16 thereby to minimize relative movement between bottles and/or base panel 16 and top panels 12,20.
  • Shoulder panels 36 and 38 are folded out of alignment with main portion 34 of each tab 30 along fold lines 40, 42 respectively.
  • each shoulder portion 36, 38 is received in the notch along the distal edge of the respective retaining tab and is thereby allowed to reach the crown cork C of the adjacent bottle to engage the underside of the crown cork C, as shown in Figure 3.
  • the main portion 34 is maintained in an angular relationship with respect to top panel 12.
  • the tabs 50, 92 formed from base panel 16 are also held in place by being in a face to face relationship with respective ones of the shoulder panels 36, 38 as shown in Figure 3.
  • handle tab 114 is folded inwardly along fold line 116 to create a hand aperture to receive a user's finger to enable the carton to be carried. Because the retaining tabs 74, 75, 76, 78, 80 and 82 engage the crown corks C of the packaged bottles, the load of the bottles is transferred directly to the top wall when the carton is lifted by the hand aperture.
  • the present invention and its preferred embodiment relate to an article carrier which is shaped to provide satisfactory strength to hold bottles securely but with a degree of flexibility so that load transferred to the handle is absorbed by the carrier.
  • the shape of the blank minimizes the amount of paperboard required and the carrier can be applied to an array of bottles by hand or automatic machinery. It is anticipated that the invention can be applied to a variety of carrier and not limited to those of the top gripping sort.
