Definitions

  • This invention relates to containers made of cardboard, paperboard or similar lightweight foldable sheet material and is particularly directed to the provision of an improved container in the form of a tub, made from a one piece blank.
  • a container in the form of a tub made from a one piece blank of cardboard, paperboard or similar lightweight foldable sheet material, comprising:
  • the side walls are generally upright.
  • generally upright we mean that the side wall could be vertical or it could slope somewhat outwardly or, less preferably, somewhat inwardly. The walls could, however, slope outwardly at a greater angle to give a more dish like appearance.
  • each central panel is generally triangular, but other shapes, for example trapezoidal shapes, may be suitable.
  • each said edge panel has an arcuate outer edge so that it may follow more closely the curved side wall of the container.
  • each edge panel is inclined downwardly with respect to the central panel to which it is attached to give further strength to the base of the container.
  • the edge panel may also be hingedly attached to an adjacent side wall panel.
  • central panels and edge panels need not be attached to the side wall panels.
  • a glue tab may be provided on one or more of the panels for gluing to one or more of the side wall panels.
  • the glue tab is hingedly attached to the respective central or edge panel.
  • a glue tab is hingedly connected to each edge panel for bonding to a respective side wall.
  • each such tab is folded up with respect to its edge panel so that it lies inside and is glued to the inside of the tub.
  • a single glue tab is hingedly connected to just one of the edge panels at either end of the base panel.
  • the tab is preferably configured so that it extends circumferentially beyond the panel to which it is attached, preferably substantially as far as the other edge panel at that end of the base.
  • the glued tab overlaps the join between the side wall panels in the base region to strengthen that join.
  • the tab is folded down with respect to the edge panel so that it lies within and is glued within the recessed base of the tub.
  • the side wall panels may be of substantially similar widths. Preferably however one of the panels is wider than the other, to allow for overlap between the panels to secure the panels together.
  • the present invention also extends to a blank for making a container in accordance with the invention.
  • the invention provides a one piece blank of cardboard, paperboard or similar lightweight foldable sheet material for erection into a container, said blank comprising:
  • the blank may have the further preferred features described above.
  • a cardboard blank 2 for making a container in the form of a tub 4 ( Figure 4) with a rounded side wall comprises a base panel 6, a first side wall panel 8, and a second side wall panel 10.
  • the second side panel 10 has display openings 12 formed therein. These are covered by a transparent plastic sheet 14 attached to the inner face of the side wall panel 10.
  • the base panel 6 is of a generally oval configuration and comprises a central portion 16 to whose opposite edges the first and second side wall panels 10, 12 are connected by way of hinge lines 18. It further comprises two outer portions 20 connected to the central portion by hinge lines 22.
  • Each outer portion 20 comprises a central, triangular, panel 24 to either side of which edge panels 26 having an arcuate free edge 28 are attached by hinge lines 30.
  • the end of each edge panel 26 adjacent the hinge lines 22 is also attached to its adjacent side wall panel 8,10 by a hinge line 32.
  • a glue tab 34 is connected to one edge panel 26 at each side of the base panel 4 by a hinge line 36.
  • the hinge lines 30, 32 and 36 are formed as intermittent cuts.
  • each triangular panel 24 is hinged upwardly around its hinge line 22.
  • the edge panels 26 are hinged downwardly about the hinge lines 30 and upwardly around the hinge lines 32 so as to incline outwardly towards the adjacent side wall panels 8,10, as shown in Figure 3.
  • the tabs 34 are folded downwardly about their hinge lines 36 so as to come into contact and overlap the side wall panels 8,10 at the base of the tub.
  • the folding and shaping of the tub can be effected using a suitable mandrel which may enter the top and base of the tub as it is formed.
  • a suitable mandrel which may enter the top and base of the tub as it is formed.
  • the tub can be erected in some other manner, for example by hand.
  • the erected tub 4 is shown in Figures 4 and 5.
  • the folding of the various panels results in the triangular panels 24 being upwardly inclined relative to the central portion 16 of the base panel 6 in the erected tub, with the edge portions 26 being downwardly inclined relative to the triangular panels 24 so as to close the space between the triangular panels 24 and the side wall panels 8,10.
  • the tabs 34 are glued inside the side wall panels 8,10 at the base of the tub to provide additional strength to the base.
  • the tab 34 of the first embodiment has been replaced by two separate glue tabs 46.
  • the tabs will be folded upwardly around the hinge lines 48 during erection so as to lie within the tub 4.
  • the embodiments of the invention shown in the Figures are open topped tub of generally oval shape in horizontal section, with an outwardly inclined wall.
  • the side wall panels may have longitudinal fold lines to form a faceted, rather than a rounded, tub.
  • Tubs according to the invention may be provided with a top closure of any convenient form, for example in the form of a plug made of plastics, cardboard, polystyrene or a pulp material.
