  • the internal partition structure is formed whereby base wall panel 18 and support panel 34 are folded out of face contacting arrangement along fold lines 36, 32 and 26, 28 respectively. This action causes the flap(s) 40, 42 and part of the articulating panel 38 to be separated from the support panel 34 thereby to define a pair of apertures 72 in the support panel 34 to receive one or more articles A, shown in Figure 4.
  • the articles A are loaded by relative vertical movement between the articles and the part- erected carton in a packaging machine, as is well known in the art. As the articles A are inserted through apertures 72, they come into contact with flaps 40, 42 which cause the flaps to be folded into substantially perpendicular arrangement with the articulating panel 38 and, preferably, to be placed in face contacting arrangement with base wall panel 18; thereby to provide a rigid support structure for the carton C.
  • top wall panel 14 is folded along fold lines 22 and 24 over the articles A and side wall panel 12 is folded downwardly and tabs 50 are inserted into the recesses 51 defined in part of the apertures 72, shown in more detail in Figure 5.
  • end wall structure 55 it is constructed by folding end wall panel 56 downwardly along fold line 60 such that web panels 58a and 58b are also folded downwardly and out of alignment with end wall panel 56 by folding along fold line 62 and 64, and the end walls of the carton are oriented as shown in Figure 4.
  • a carton C is formed for holding a plurality of articles.
  • the carton comprises a top wall 14, opposed side walls 12, 20 and 16 and a base wall 18 and an internal partition structure 30, the partition structure is provided by a support panel 34 hinged to one side wall 12, 20 to extend between the opposed side walls 12, 20 and 16 and pivoting panel 38 hingedly connected to the support panel 34 and folded out of alignment with the support panel.
  • the pivoting panel 38 is secured to the other side wall 16 and thereby reveals an aperture 72 for receiving an article to be packaged as shown in Figure 6.
  • the present invention and its preferred embodiment relate to an arrangement for providing a partition structure in a wraparound carton.
  • the invention can be applied to a variety of carriers and is not limited to those of the wraparound type hereinbefore described and could be used for numerous applications for example a fully enclosed carton or clip.
  • hinged connection should not be construed as necessarily referring to a single fold line only: indeed it is envisaged that hinged connection can be formed from one or more of one of the following, a score line, a frangible line or a fold line, without departing from the scope of invention.
  • the size and shape of the panels and apertures may be adjusted to accommodate one or more articles of differing size or shape, alternative closure structures may be used.
  • the carton may accommodate more than one article in different arrays.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un carton destiné à contenir une pluralité d'articles (A). Ce carton comprend une paroi supérieure (14), des parois latérales opposées (12, 20 ; et 16), une paroi inférieure (18) ainsi qu'une structure de séparation interne (30). Cette structure de séparation interne est constituée d'un panneau de support (34) qui est articulé sur une (12, 20) desdites parois latérales et qui s'étend entre les parois latérales opposées, ainsi que d'un panneau pivotant (38) qui est relié de manière articulée au panneau de support (34) et qui est plié de façon à ne pas être aligné avec le panneau de support. Ledit panneau pivotant (38) est fixé sur l'autre paroi latérale (16), ce qui forme une ouverture (72) dans le panneau de support, qui sert à accueillir un article à emballer.
