Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a basket carrier for carrying a multiplicity of bottles or the like and a blank for such a basket carrier.
  • Basket carriers for carrying bottles have been widely used in the art.
  • the known basket carriers usually comprise a bottom wall, a central partition which usually contains the handle for carrying the basket and divides the basket in two parts, two end walls on opposite sides of the central partition, two side walls closing the space between the central partition and the end wall and dividers dividing the space on each side of the central partition into a number of individual cells or units.
  • baskets are made of paper or card board, by folding and gluing a corresponding blank, or multiple blanks.
  • US-A-4.396.116 discloses a basket-type carrier for carrying bottles which is made of two mirror image parts.
  • the basket disclosed in US-A-4.396.116 comprises a central partition which extends in height direction of the basket and is made of two mirror imaged parts, which are folded with respect to each other along a top folding line extending in longitudinal direction of the basket. Both central partition wall parts slant with respect to each other from the top folding line towards the bottom of the basket.
  • the basket comprises a first and second side wall on opposite transversal sides of the central partition, which are folded with respect to the central partition from the top folding line, along folding lines extending in height direction of the basket.
  • the first and second side walls each comprise two flaps which are double folded against each other to provide double walled side walls.
  • Opposite edges of the first and second side walls are folded along folding lines in height direction of the basket, towards the longitudinal side of the basket to form divider flaps providing a plurality of cells along the end walls of the basket.
  • One of the side walls is connected to a transverse edge of the bottom wall along a bottom folding line.
  • the opposite transverse edge of the bottom wall comprises a lip which is fastened to the other side wall to form the bottom of the basket carrier.
  • Each of the opposite longitudinal sides of the bottom wall is connected to a flap, which form the end walls of the basket.
  • a basket in which the weight of bottles contained by the basket is fully carried by the bottom wall of the basket.
  • the bottom wall is connected to a side wall along a folding line, the other opposite side of the bottom wall is glued to the other side wall along a lip only.
  • basket carrier of this invention comprises
  • the basket carrier of the present invention comprises at least one first and second volume for containing bottles or the like, which are separate from each other and are connected to each other.
  • the weight of the bottles contained in the compartments of the basket is not be carried by a single, plain bottom wall, but may be distributed over two separate bottom wall parts.
  • a basket carrier is provided with an increased weight bearing capacity.
  • both the first and second bottom wall part to the central partition wall along which the basket carrier is carried, ensures that the central partition wall and the bottom wall of each compartment form one unitary entity, and that a load exerted to the bottom wall of a compartment may be directly transferred to the central partition and distributed in an optimum manner thereto.
  • a basket carrier with an improved weight bearing capacity is provided in which the weight bearing function is exerted by the co-operating bottom walls and central partition wall.
  • the connection of the two bottom walls to each other through and along the top edge of the basket in stead of using tabs or other connecting means provided in the bottom wall for that purpose, assists in improving the load and weight distribution within the basket carrier and in increasing the weight bearing capacity. Because of the optimized load distribution, the thickness of the paper or board used for producing the basket carrier may be reduced without adversely affecting the load bearing capacity of the basket, thus permitting to save 20% or more weight with respect to the known basket carriers.
  • the end walls and side walls need to contribute to the weight bearing function to a minimum extent only. Their function is merely to confine bottles contained in the basket, in their position.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the first side wall comprises a first and a second side wall part, which first and second side wall part extend from the first end wall towards the second end wall, in that the second side wall comprises a third and a fourth side wall part, which third and fourth side wall part extend from opposite sides of the second end wall towards the first end wall, wherein the first and third end wall part are connected to each other in height direction of the basket carrier over at least part of their height and wherein the second and fourth end wall part are connected to each other in height direction of the basket carrier over at least part of their height to enclose between the end walls and central partition wall a first and a second volume for receiving at least one bottle or the like.
  • any load exerted to the bottom wall may not only be transferred to the respective first and second end wall but also the side wall parts and in particular to the connection of the first and third end wall part on the one hand and the connection of the second and fourth end wall part on the other hand.
  • connection of the first and second volume may be established using any connecting means considered suitable by the person skilled in the art, and may for example comprise a top folding line along which the first and second volume are connected to each other.
  • the top folding line may simultaneously form the top edge of the basket.
  • the connection may however also be achieved along a top part of the first and second partition wall part in any other suitable way for example by gluing, stapling etc of the first partition wall part to the second partition wall part.
  • the basket carrier and blank for the basket carrier of the present invention are build symmetric with respect to the top folding edge.
  • the symmetric construction also facilitates production and folding of the blank.
  • the first and second volume of the basket carrier of this invention for containing the bottles or the like may be subdivided in individual cells or volumes for receiving one single bottle or container or the like by means of at least one tab present in the first and/or second volume.
  • the at least one tab may protrude either from the end wall in the direction of the central partition wall, or from the central partition wall part in the direction of the corresponding end wall.
  • the at least one tab protrudes from the central partition wall part, as in that way the effect on the load bearing ability and strength of the basket carrier may be reduced to the best extent.
  • the basket carrier and blank of this invention are characterized by the presence in each of the first and second central partition wall part of at least one cutting line defining the at least one tab, each tab being connected to the central partition wall part along a tab folding line.

  • the at least one further carrier handle flap comprises a third and a fourth carrier handle part, which are positioned on opposite sides of the top folding edge, the third carrier handle part being connected to the first carrier handle part along a folding line, the fourth carrier handle part being connected to the second carrier handle part along a folding line as well.
  • the further carrier handle flap is double folded over the handle, in such a way that the third carrier handle part overlays the first carrier handle part and is fastened to it and the fourth carrier handle part overlays the second carrier handle part and is fastened to it.
  • the further carrier handle flap may however also be produced as a separate part to be fastened to the handle.
  • the further carrier handle flap may further comprise or be made as a first and a second part, provided on opposite sides of the carrier handle flap, and folded towards each other to at least partly cover the carrier handle part.
  • opposite edges of the further carrier handle flap comprise at least one protrusion protruding from the edge, which protrusion is provided to engage a top edge of the tab to fix the position of the tab in the erected state of the basket carrier.
