Definitions

  • the present invention relates to article or produce carrying assemblies, components thereof and related methods of use thereof. Many forms of container are known for carrying produce.
  • the present invention relates to a container of a kind capable of being erected from a blank of a planar material (eg corrugated board or a paper board) or from multiple blank pieces of such a material.
  • New Zealand patent specification 230735 the full content of which is hereby included relates to an assembly of such a container in conjunction with a cover having side and end walls of a trapezium configuration whereby hand holds provided by flaps to be expressed from the plane ofthe blank from which the cover is formed allow an uplifting with hand holds of the covered container.
  • the present invention relates to similar such structures but having an advantage there over.
  • the invention consists in an assembly comprising or including; a container (flap closeable or otherwise) having a substantially rectangular base and upstanding walls, and a surround for the upstanding walls (optionally flap closeable at least in part), wherein two opposed walls of said container have a feature (other than a hand engageable opening) to enable by direct or indirect support thereof the uplifting ofthe container, and wherein said surround provides an opening for each said feature to enable such uplifting together with said surround.
  • said surround includes flaps to overlie (at least in part) said container.
  • said surround is of a planar materials and each said opening of said surround is provided by a flap movable out of the plane of such material.
  • each said flap is engageable under its proximate said feature.
  • said container is formed from a planar material.
  • planar material provides said features, each such feature being a downwardly directed edge or fold-line of a flap extension of the wall panel hinged from the base, the extension being held downwardly over said wall panel by blank provided web connection(s) to each ofthe flanking wall panels.
  • planar material of said container is a paperboard including laminate.
  • it is a laminate having a corrugated core.
  • planar material of said surround is of a paperboard laminate.
  • said surround is bottomless and has closeable flap(s) extending from said flanking wall(s) (preferably two flaps) and said wall panels (preferably two flaps).
  • said container has closeable flap(s) extending from said flanking wall(s) (preferably two flaps).
  • said surround is slightly longer and wider respectively than the corresponding exterior dimensions of said container.
  • a further aspect ofthe present invention consists in an assembly comprising or including; a container having at least a substantially a rectangular base and upstanding walls and a surround for the upstanding walls which does not underlie the base of the container yet which optionally includes one or more flaps capable of overlying part of said container irrespective of whether or not said container itself includes any flap closure aspect, wherein two opposed walls of said container have a flap extension thereof downwardly directed from a fold line from the wall to define with a downwardly directed edge or fold line a feature capable of being engaged directly or indirectly to uplift at least in part the container.
  • the downwardly directed edge or fold line is held in association with the proximate wall panel by blank provided web connection(s) to each of the flanking wall panels of those wall panels having said feature.
  • said assembly is an assembly as previously defined.
  • the present invention consists in a container formed from a blank suitable for use in an assembly as previously defined, said container having as each said feature a downwardly directed edge or fold-line of an extension of the wall panel hinged from the blank base, the extension being held downwardly over said proximate wall panel by any one or more of (i) the surround,
  • the present invention consists in a container substantially as herein described with reference to any one or more ofthe accompanying drawings.
  • the present invention consists in a surround for an assembly as previously defined. Preferably said surround is substantially as herein described with reference to any one or more ofthe accompanying drawings.
  • the present invention consists in the use of an assembly in accordance with the present invention to transport or pack or to package articles or produce.
  • Figure 1 shows an isometric view of a preferred container in accordance with the present invention showing the feature A to enable uplifting of an end of the container
  • Figure 2 is an isometric view of one form of surround for association over the container of Figure 1 , the surround having flap provided openings to enable into engagement ofthe flap under the feature A and to enable the uplifting ofthe surround and the container together,
  • Figure 3 shows the surround of Figure 2 being lowered over the container of
  • Figure 1 shows the arrangement after the lowering of Figure 3, the flaps ofthe surround being shown in an open condition for convenience (they can of course be adhesively fastened), and Figures 5 through 11 show in sequence the folding ofthe container, ( Figure 5 showing the blank cutout of said container, Figure 6 showing the folding ofthe walls into an upstanding position, Figure 7 showing the web connections folded to provide the side wall panels ofthe container, and Figures 8-11 shows the flap extension of said of said container being folded under the web connections to provide said feature), and Figure 12 shows the blank cutout of said surround.
  • the preferred container is that shown in Figures 1 and 5 through 11. It is preferably formed from a blank of for example, a laminate of a waterproofing plastics material (optionally metallised) and an appropriate paperboard.
  • the paperboard can be a dense card or a laminate of kraft paper and/or other paperboard materials, eg; a corrugated medium or the like.
  • the present invention envisages however an arrangement whereby a surround formed, for example, from a blank of an appropriate paperboard as shown in Figure 12, can be used to confer an addition to the peripheral wall strength of the assembled container (see Figure 4) whilst allowing the uplifting ofthe container in such a form.
  • a preferred single piece blank comprises a base 1 which is preferably rectangular, wall panels 2, flanging walls or wall panels 3, closeable flaps 4 from the flanking walls 3, and outward extension 5 to be folded on a fold-line 6 to provide the downwardly directed feature "A" shown in Figure 1 and to be held in position by the further extension 7 being tied upwardly under the flap 5.
  • the webs 8 and 9 in each instance are not broken from the wall panels 2 and 3.
  • the surround itself is preferably formed from the blank shown in Figure 12 (ie; adhered by flap 10. Die cut in panels 12 is a flap providing opening for each end. For convenience the flap is shown out ofthe plane in Figure 12.
  • This flap 13 is adapted in the condition as shown in Figure 4 to underlie and engage the downwardly directed edge 6 so as to associate the two components together or at least assist in the uplifting of the weight carrying container under the cover of the surround which preferably is provided with the 4 closure flaps depicted in the drawings.
  • the nature of the surround is such as to provide greater strength than would otherwise be the case with the choice of material in the construction of the crate or container component ofthe assembly.
  • each or one of each component of the assembly can be die cut from an appropriate paperboard or the equivalent.
  • a laminate thereof can be used, eg; a paperboard card or laminate (whether or not corrugated insofar as any core is concerned) and optionally coated on at least one side with a plastics film (eg; aluminium micronised polyester) .
  • Suitable materials include those disclosed in New Zealand Patent Specification Nos. 314427 and 222022/222909/223447/224406.
  • Outward wall bulge is resisted by the surround and with the preferred use of, for example, a plastic web laminated on to the paperboard, the base ofthe container or crate is sufficiently strong to support any load carried therein, stacking strength being enhanced by the ability ofthe base to conform to an underlying assembly in a stack and of course the combined wall strength of both the container and the surround.
