  • there further comprises a pair of score lines 92, 94 which extend from the ends of cut lines 89a and converge at a point adjacent a central portion of aperture 70 and terminate at the outer edge thereof.
  • the opposing side of the top panel further comprises a plurality of stress diverting score lines, however, as the article receiving arrangements are spaced further apart, the score lines are configured differently.
  • Score line 100 extends from the end of handle panel 66 and terminates at cut line 89 of aperture receiving arrangement 81.
  • Score line 100 preferably comprises two straight portions with an obtuse angle therebetween such that the score line 100 intersects the cut line 89 of one of the article receiving apertures 81 substantially perpendicular thereto.
  • a second score line 98 preferably extends from fold line 88 to terminate at an outer edge of aperture 68.
  • a second pair of score lines 99, 101 connects the other article receiving arrangement 81 with the handle panel 66 and aperture 68 respectively.
  • each pair of adjacent score lines should be shaped to define a part 102, 104, 106, 108 of the top wall panel 18 shown in Figures 3 and 4 that can flex and/or bow relative the top and/or side walls of the carton, thereby to transmit, direct and/or absorb lifting stresses from the handle.
  • the carton of the present invention can be formed by 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.
  • the carton can be seen in a tubular state formed from the blank 10.
  • the handle reinforcing strap S is secured to the carton and the securing flap 24 is secured to base panel 12 by glue or other suitable means known in the art.
  • the carton C is shown with its end closure structure, comprising upper end wall panels 40 and 40a and lower end wall panels 42 and 42a, open so that the carton is loaded from one or both ends with articles "A", as shown here for example, with beverage bottles arranged into a single tier.
  • Articles "A" are positioned on the bottom wall panel 12 of the carton 10.
  • Such a loading operation may be carried out by suitable, commercially-available automated packaging machinery.
  • Closure of the end closure structure is preferably effected in the following manner.
  • Upper end wall panels 40 is folded to a closed position against the packaged articles A, by folding gusset panel structures 50 inwardly.
  • Glue is applied to lower end wall panel 42 and lower end wall panel 42 is then folded upwardly and secured to the upper end wall panel 40.
  • the handle arrangement formed in top wall panel 18 may be seen in greater detail by reference to Figure 4.
  • a user inserts the hand and/or fingers into one or both of the apertures 68 and 70 and grasps the portion of panel 66 therebetween.
  • the user then lifts the carton C.
  • the weight of the carton causes the lifting to separate the handle panel 66 from the top wall panel along the frangible lines 80 and thereafter to deflect the tearing stress along score lines 90, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100 toward the article receiving arrangements 81.
  • those parts 102, 104, 106, 108 of the top wall between the above mentioned fold lines are allowed to flex and/or bow.
  • each article receiving arrangement In the specific embodiment disclosed, a specific location for each article receiving arrangement is shown. However, the receiving arrangements may be located adjacent other articles within the article grouping, and the position of the score lines changed accordingly, within the scope of the invention.
  • the frangible lines may tear to allow the handle panel 66 to protrude above the top wall panel 18.
  • the curved stress relief lines 79 also assist in preventing the tearing from extending beyond frangible line 80. Because tearing in the top panel is controlled, overall tear-resistance is in fact improved. Not only is the handle of improved strength, but it also provides a comfortable "feel" for the user while lifting and/or carrying the carton.
  • the handle structure may also be used with a carton for packaging two tiers of bottles, or for a carton for packaging cans, jars or other containers or articles.
  • the containers may be oriented vertically, as described herein, or horizontally.
  • handle reinforcing means other than that described herein may be used with the disclosed handle.
  • a lapped top panel of a type generally known in the art may be used.
  • the overlap between the two top panel portions forms a double-ply strip which extends down the centre of the carton top wall.
  • An example of a carton of this type may be seen in U.S. Patent No. 5,427,242, which is incorporated herein by reference.
  • the handle structure is formed into the lapped top panel in the same manner as the handle structure described herein, as will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art.
  • the frangible lines 80 are formed to extend along the edges of the lapped portion.
  • hinged connection should not be construed as referring to a single fold line, indeed it is envisaged that a hinged connection can be formed from, a score line, a frangible line, or one, two or more fold lines without departing from the scope of invention.
