Definitions

  • the invention relates to a carton and blank for forming a carton for carrying a plurality of articles and an insert structure associated with the carton to provide additional protection to articles contained in the carton.
  • an insert or partition in a carton is well known as a means to serve as a cushion between the articles and/or between the articles and the outer walls to protect them.
  • the insert is free to move in a vertical plane, which is undesirable because the insert will no longer serve as a cushion if moved in an upward position, for example between boule necks.
  • inserts are formed from a unitary blank, which can reduce the rigidity of the erected insert. Examples of inserts formed from a single blank are shown in US 4 294 398 and US 5 529 240.
  • the present invention seeks to overcome or at least mitigate the problems of the prior art.
  • One advantage of this arrangement is that the insert structure is held in position adjacent the carton bottom. Holding the insert structure in this position is important to allow the insert structure to function as a cushion between the bottles. Beneficially, the amount of board used for the insert structure can be reduced and standard equipment to secure the end panels can be used to secure the insert structure to the outer carton.
  • a first aspect of the invention provides a package for carrying one or more articles comprising a carton having a plurality of wall panels for forming a tubular structure wherein each end of the carton is closed by a first panel hinged to one of the wall panels, an intermediate panel hinged to another wall panel of the carton and adapted to be placed such that at least part of the intermediate panel is disposed in face contacting relationship with the inner face of the first panel
  • the package further comprises an insert placed in the carton.
  • the intermediate panel is disposed in face contacting relationship with at least part of the insert, and an aperture or recess is provided in the intermediate panel such that glue applied to the outer face of the insert at an area in registry with the aperture or recess secures together the insert, first panel and intermediate panel.
  • the intermediate panel is provided by an end flap and the aperture is provided by a recess struck from the free side edge of the end flap.
  • a second end flap is provided with a recess in registry with the first recess such that the first panel is secured directly to the insert by the application of glue to that part of the insert on display through the first and second recesses.
  • the insert structure includes a medial panel hinged to the panel that is secured to the carton and disposed along the other wall panel.
  • the insert structure further includes a second medial panel disposed along a still another wall panel disposed opposite to the other wall panel, where the first and second medial panels are hinged to opposite side edges of the securing panel respectively.
  • a transverse partition panel is hinged to the first medial panel by a pair of spaced fold lines intermediate opposing ends of the transverse partition panel thereby to create a panel which extends outwardly from both sides of the first medial panel when the insert structure is formed in a set up carrier.
  • one or more of the wall panels are defined by a frangible connection to facilitate detachment of part of the package to define a display window with access to the articles contained therein.
  • a handle struck from and hingedly secured to one or more of the wall panels.
  • a second aspect of the current invention provides a blank for forming a carton for carrying a plurality of articles comprising a top bottom and opposing side wall panels hinged together in series, an end panel hinged to the base panel and an end flap hingedly connected to one of said side wall panels and a separate blank for forming an insert structure including a securing panel connected to a medial panel.
  • An aperture is provided in the end flap such that during construction of the carton glue is applied to an outer face of the securing panel throu gh the aperture in the end flap to secure together said end panel, end flap and securing panel when said end panel, end flap and securing panel are placed together in face contacting relationship in a set up condition.
  • the aperture is provided by a recess struck from the free side edge of the end flap.
  • a second end flap is hinged the other side wall panel and is provided with a recess in registry with the first recess such that the end panel is secured directly to the securing panel by application of glue to part of the securing panel on display through the first and second recesses.
  • the insert structure further includes a transverse partition panel struck from the medial panel and hinged to the medial panel by a pair of spaced fold lines intermediate opposing ends of the transverse partition panel thereby to create a panel which extends outwardly from both sides of said medial panel when the insert structure is formed in a set up carrier.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown one embodiment of a blank for forming a carton and a blank for forming an insert structure made from paperboard or similar foldable sheet material. It is envisaged that a unitary blank for the carton and insert structure could be used without departing from the scope of invention.
  • the carton is a "fully-enclosed” type although it will be recognised that the invention could be applied to a "wraparound" type carton or "basket-type'' carton where it is required to secure an insert structure to one of the outer panels.
  • the blank 10 comprises a plurality of panels for forming the top, base and opposed side walls whereby there is shown a top panel 12, a first side wall panel 14, bottom panel 16 and second side wall panel 18 hingedly connected one to the next in series along fold lines 13, 15 and 17 respectively.
  • the ends of the carton are constructed by one or more end panels.
  • opposed end panels 20 and 22 are hingedly connected to the opposing ends of top wall panel 12 along fold lines 36 and 38 respectively.
  • a second pair of end panels 24, 26 is provided along opposing end edges of base panel 16 and hingedly connected thereto along fold lines 36 and 38 respectively.
  • a pair of end flaps 28, 30 is hingedly connected to first side wall panel 14 along opposing end edges and are connected thereto by fold lines 36, 38 respectively.
  • a second pair of end flaps 32, 34 are hingedly connected to side wall panel 18 along fold lines 36, 38 respectively.
  • the end panels 20, 22; 32, 34 are usually secured to the end flaps, so that in use, the end flaps support the end walls to improve rigidity.
  • the recess enables the insert structure I ( Figure 4) to be secured to one or more of the end panels 20, 24, described below.
  • a pair of recesses 42, 46 are provided in end flaps 28, 32 that are positioned in corresponding positions along the opposing side edges, so as to marry up when the carton is erected.
  • a second pair or recesses 44, 48 is applied to the opposing end flaps 30, 34 so that the insert structure can be inserted from either end to be secured to the outer carton described in more detail below.
  • recess is not limited to the shape illustrated in Figure 1 and indeed could be replaced by other means to allow the insert structure to juxtapose the end panel.
  • end flap 28 could terminate at the lower edge of recess 46 or, alternatively one or more apertures could be struck from end flaps 28 and/or 32.
  • a blank 50 as shown in Figure 2, comprising one or more medial partition panels and a securing panel.
  • first medial partition panel 52 there comprises a first medial partition panel 52, an end panel 54 and second medial partition panel 56 hingedly connected together along fold lines 58 and 60 and adapted to receive twelve articles in a 3 x 4 arrangement
  • FIG. 2 shows medial partition panel 52 is provided with three transverse partition panels 62a, 62b and 62c. Each transverse partition panel is similar and therefore only partition panel 62a is described in any greater detail.
  • Transverse partition panel 62a is connected to medial partition panel 52 along upper and lower fold lines 66a and 68a to create a panel that extends outwardly from both sides of the medial panel 52.
  • fold lines 66 and 68 are aligned in a vertical plane.
  • the upper and lower edges of panel 62a are adapted to extend one side of the medial panel are defined by cut lines 76 and 78 respectively which separate the panel 62a from medial panel 52.
  • Cut line 76 extends from the lower end of fold line 66 to the upper end of the upper fold line 66b connecting panel 62b to medial panel 52.
  • cut line 78 extends from the upper end of fold line 68 to the lower end of the lower fold line connecting panel 62b to medial panel 52.
  • cut lines 77 and 79 define respectively the upper and lower edges of the part of the transverse partition panel that will extend outwardly from the other side of the medial panel 52.
  • the opposing side edges of transverse partition panel 62a are provided by cut lines 72 and 74 respectively and optionally, apertures 70a, 70b.
  • the second medial partition panel is also provided with three transverse partition panels 64a, 64b and 64c. It will be seen that each transverse partition panel is similar and therefore only partition panel 64c is described in any greater detail.
  • Transverse partition panel 64c is similar to transverse partition panel 62a in that it is preferably adapted to extend outwardly on both sides of the medial panel 56.
  • panel 64a is connected to medial partition panel 56 along fold lines 80c and 82c that are aligned in a vertical plane, in this embodiment.
  • the upper and lower edges of panel 64a to extend one side of the medial panel are defined by cut lines 86 and 87 respectively which separate the panel 64a from medial panel 56. Cut line 86 extends from the upper end of fold line 82c to the lower end of the upper fold line 82b connecting panel 64b to medial panel 56.
  • cut line 87 extends from the lower end of fold line 80c to the upper end of lower fold line 80b connecting panel 64b to medial panel 56.
  • a further cut line 84 is shaped to define the part that will extend outwardly from the other side of the medial panel 56. Cut line 84 also defines a protruding portion 96 used to overlap the portion 98 struck from the transverse panel 62c of other medial partition panel 52 and described in more detail above.
  • transverse panel 64a There may further comprise a tab 92 and cut lines 90 extending from the end edge of transverse panel 64a. Additionally or alternatively, there may also comprise apertures 70 struck from medial panel 52. In use, they assist in causing the panels 62a, 64a to separate from the medial panels 52 and 56 respectively.
  • a plurality of apertures 88, 94 struck from each of the transverse partition panels 64a, 64b, 64c and a corresponding aperture 94 may be struck from end panel 54 may be provided: they are used by suitable machinery to open the transverse panels 64 during the mechanical construction of the insert structure.
  • the recesses 142, 146 are provided at opposed and spaced positions in end flap 120, as shown in Figure 6. Furthermore the means to connect the outer panel to the insert structure is provided on one end of the carton only.
  • the blank is adapted to receive one or more articles, for example sachets and to be displayed within the carton by means of a display window formed by recesses in end panels 122 and 126.
