Definitions
- This invention relates to a container, and to a blank for forming the container, for use in the storage, transportation and display of a product.
- Such containers are typically formed of a cardboard material. It is known to provide such a container with a separable lid and base, formed from a single blank. It is desirable that such containers can be assembled quickly and efficiently. It is also desirable that such containers be supplied to users in quantities, ensuring that equal quantities of lids and bases are provided. Further improvements in these criteria are desirable.
- EP-A-0 667 295 discloses a two-part packaging box or container formed from a blank, in which slots cut longitudinally into the corners of an upper part of the box enable the width of the corresponding side walls to be reduced so that they can be inserted telescopically into the bottom part of the box on assembly.
- the invention provides in a first aspect a container blank comprising a plurality of side wall panels disposed side by side and connected across wall panel fold lines, a partially cut or perforated line extending across the side wall panels and intersecting the wall panel fold lines, to define on opposite sides of the partially cut or perforated line a base part and a lid part and to divide each side wall panel into a respective base wall panel and a lid wall panel, a plurality of top flaps connected to the lid wall panels across fold lines for forming a container top, a plurality of bottom flaps connected to the base wall panels across fold lines for forming a container bottom, and cut out areas provided at intersections between the partially cut or perforated line and the wall panel fold lines, wherein the lid part is separable from the base part along the partially cut or perforated line, whereby in assembly of the blank, the cut out areas enable the lid wall panels to be fitted over the base wall panels, wherein the cut out areas extend on both sides of the partially cut or perforated line along respective wall panel fold lines.
- lid part being formed in the same blank as the base part, it is ensured that a user is provided with equal quantities of lids and bases.
- Said cut out areas enable the edges of the lid wall panels to be moved outwards, and the edges of the base wall panels to be moved inwards, so that the lid can be conveniently fitted onto the base.
- the height of the cut out areas along the wall panel fold lines is equal to the height of the lid wall panels along the fold lines, for reasons hereinafter appearing.
- the blank may be supplied to the user in a partially assembled condition, wherein the blank is folded flat in a doubled over condition about wall panel fold lines.
- the free edges of the plurality of wall panels are affixed together, by adhesive, staples, etc.
- the lid part is separated from the base part along the partially cut line, and the lid wall panels are then fitted over the base wall panels.
- the lid wall panels are slid over the base wall panels until, at the folded fold lines, the upper edges of the cut out areas in the lid part abut against the lower edges of the cut out areas in the base part. By jamming such upper and lower edges together, the lid part is held in engagement with the base part sufficiently securely for handling and transportation.
- To assemble the container from this partially assembled state all that is necessary is for the side wall panels to be opened to a rectangular configuration, and for the top flaps to be affixed together, and for the bottom flaps to be affixed together.
- the invention provides a partially assembled container formed from a blank, comprising a base and a lid, the base comprising a plurality of base wall panels connected to one another across fold lines, and a plurality of bottom flaps connected to the base wall panels across fold lines and a top edge of the base wall panels marks a separation along a partially cut or perforated line, the lid comprising a plurality of lid wall panels connected to one another across fold lines, and a plurality of top flaps connected to the lid wall panels across fold lines and a bottom edge of the lid wall panels marks a separation line corresponding to the separation line of said base part, wherein both the base and the lid are in a folded flat configuration and the lid wall panels are positioned so as to embrace the base wall panels, wherein cut out areas are provided both at the bottom edge of the lid wall panels and at the top edge of the base wall panels intersecting the respective fold lines thereof, and the lid is positioned on the base so that the tops of the cut out areas of the lid engage the bottoms of the cut out areas
- lid part By reason of the lid part being retained to the base part, it is ensured that a user is provided with equal quantities of lids and bases.
- the top edge of the base wall panels may abut against the underside of the lid top, whereby to provide extra structural rigidity for the container.
- the invention provides a container formed from a blank, the container comprising a base and a lid, the base including base wall panels connected to one another across base wall panel fold lines, and a bottom comprising bottom flaps connected to the base wall panels across fold lines and a top edge of the base wall panels marks a separation along a partially cut or perforated line, and the lid including lid wall panels connected to one another across lid wall panel fold lines and a top comprising top flaps connected to the lid wall panels across fold lines and a bottom edge of the lid wall panels marks a separation line corresponding to the separation line of said base part, and the lid is fitted over the base with the top edge of the base abutting against the lid top, wherein the top edge of the base has cut out areas at the intersections with the base wall panel fold lines, and the bottom edge of the lid has cut out areas at the intersections with the lid wall panel fold lines, and the cut out areas of the base and lid interengage with the top edge of a lid cut out area engaging against the bottom edge of a base cut
- a blank 2 is formed of cardboard that has continuous outer card layers with an interior of corrugated card.
- the blank has side wall panels 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 connected to each other across side wall fold lines 14.
- Side wall panels 4 and 12 can be glued together at 16 along their free edges.
- a partially cut or deeply perforated line 18 traverses the side wall panels to define a lid blank part 20, and a base blank part 22; each side wall panel is divided into a respective lid wall panel 4 c - 12 c and a respective base wall panel 4 b - 12 b .
- Bottom flaps 24 extend from base wall panels 4 b - 12 b along fold lines 26.
- Top flaps 28 extend from lid wall panels 4 c - 12 c along fold lines 30.
- Cut out areas 32, 34 are provided at the intersections of fold lines 14 and cut line 18.
- a display flap 36 is provided by perforated line 38 in base wall panel 8 b .
- Each cut out portion 34 has a rectangular portion 40 which extends up to perforated line 38, and a portion 42 which extends over the intersection point of cut line 18 and fold lines 14.
- Portion 42 is essentially similar in shape to cut out areas 32.
- Cut out areas 32 each have a shape that is roughly polygonal, with lid edges 44 tapering away from cut line 14 to terminate in a rounded top edge 46, and with base edges 48 tapering away from cut line 14 to terminate in a rounded bottom edge 50.
- the total height of the cut out area 32 along the fold line 14 is equal to the height of a lid wall panel along fold line 14.
- the blank as shown in Figure 1 may be supplied to a customer as shown in a completely flat condition.
- the blank may be supplied as a container in a partially assembled condition, from which a user may very easily assemble fully the container.
- the first step is to glue together side wall panels 4, 12 along strips 16.
- the blank is then folded flat in a doubled over configuration as shown in Figure 2A , being folded about two of the fold lines 14.
- the blank may be supplied to a customer in such condition, but, as preferred, the blank is further erected into a partially assembled container as shown in Figure 2B .
- the lid part 20 is broken from the base part 22, the cut line 18 being sufficiently deep that the breaking operation requires little effort.
- the lid wall panels 4 c - 12 c are then opened somewhat, and are pushed over the tops of base wall panels 4 b - 12 b in the doubled over configuration.
- the cut out areas enable an extra amount of flexibility at the edges of the wall panels to permit this operation.
- the lid wall panels 4 c - 12 c are pushed so that the upper cut out edges 46 abut against the lower cut out edges 50 at the two folded fold lines 14.
- the edges 46, 50 are jammed against one another to ensure that the lid stays in the position shown in Figure 2B during handling and transportation.
- the lid is simply removed from the base to open the container top.
- the display panel 36 may be torn away along perforated line 38 to enable the contents to be inspected prior to their removal.
