Definitions
- the present invention relates to containers and in particular to containers that are configured to be easily transformed from a transport/transit configuration to a display configuration.
- Such containers are sometimes referred to as transit and display containers and may take the form of a closed box or an open topped tray, for example.
- connection provided by the present invention does not solely rely on bridging material for structural integrity but further makes use of form-interlocking for improving stability.
- the line of weakness substantially extends within the range of 0 degrees to about 35 degrees relative to the direction of main force application.
- the removable section can advantageously be separated from the remainder of the container as one piece with the lid in a single procedural step.
- the part of the lid connected to the removable section is a hinged flap moveable in a direction that has a component orthogonal to the plane defined by the removable section. Hinged movement of this flap can therefore cause separation of the separable region from the remainder of the container.
- the spacing between adjacent peaks or between adjacent troughs of said wave-like or zig-zag pattern is preferably between 15 mm and 150 mm, more preferably between 15 mm and 40 mm.
- the maximum spacing of the peaks or troughs is, however, also determined by the total length of the line of weakness as it is required that at least one peak or trough be provided so as to ensure that the line of weakness provides form-interlocking.
- the peak to trough amplitude of the line of weakness does not need to be as large as the peak to trough amplitude of a line of weakness that extends in a direction that is at a larger angle relative to the main load force.
- a line of weakness having a large peak/trough spacing or pitch may require large peak to trough amplitudes to provide the desired form-interlocking, whereas lines of weakness with a small pitch can be provided with a smaller peak to trough amplitude to provide form-interlocking.
- This relationship between amplitude and pitch can be expressed in terms of the ratio between amplitude and pitch, which preferably is within the range of 0.10 to 1.5 and more preferably between 0.3 and 0.8.
- Figure 1-1 shows a blank 2 for erecting into a base of a container according to a preferred embodiment.
- the blank 2 comprises a panel 4 that, in the erected state, forms the bottom of the container. Further provided are panels 6 and 8 that, in the erected state, form two of the side walls of the container.
- Lines of weakness 10, 12, 14 and 16 extend from outer edges 18 and 20 of panels 6 and 8 to apertures 22 and 24 respectively, defining areas 26 and 28.
- Lines of weakness 10 and 14 extend in a general direction that has an angle of about 15 degrees relative to the direction orthogonal to edges 18 and 20 respectively and lines of weakness 12 and 16 extend in a general direction that has an angle of about 10 degrees relative to the direction orthogonal to edges 18 and 20 respectively.
- Areas 26 and 28 are accordingly wider at the top edges 18 and 20 than at the end proximate to apertures 22 and 24. Good access to the interior of the container once erected and opened is accordingly provided by the preferred embodiment.
- the wave-like pattern of lines of weakness 10, 12, 14 and 16 have a peak to trough amplitude of 12.6 mm and a peak to peak spacing of about 38.6 mm.
- FIG. 1-2 shows a preferred base 38 erected from a blank as shown in Fig. 1-1.
- Fig. 1-3 shows a blank 40 for erecting in a lid of a preferred container.
- the blank 40 comprises a panel 42 that, in the erected state, forms the top of the lid. Further provided are panels 44 and 46 that, in the erected state, form two of the side walls of the lid. Lines of weakness 48, 50, 52 and 54 divide panels 44 and 46 into areas 56, 58, 60, 62, 64 and 66 respectively.
- Fig. 1-4 shows a preferred lid 68 erected from a blank as shown in Fig. 1-3.
- base 34 is erected from blank 2 and subsequently filled with goods. Adhesive is then applied to areas 26 and 28 prior to placement of lid 68 on base 34, as shown in Fig. 1-5. In the fully assembled state, lid 68 is accordingly connected to base 34 via areas 26 and 28.
- areas 58 and 64 of lid 68 are hinged outwardly as is shown in Fig. 1-6, so as to break lines of weakness 48, 50, 52 and 54 respectively.
- This outward movement of areas 58 and 64 also causes a breaking of lines of weakness 10, 12, 14 and 16 on panels 6 and 8 of base 34 as areas 58 and 64 are permanently attached to areas 26 and 28.
- lid 68 can easily be removed from base 34 in a simple upward movement, thus transforming container 70 into its display state as shown in Fig. 1-7.
- separating areas 26 and 28 from panels 6 and 8 has created edges 72, 74, 76 and 78 on panels 6 and 8.
- areas 26 and 26 comprise edges (not shown) complementing edges 72, 74, 76 and 78 of panels 6 and 8.
- Areas 26 and 28 of base 34 remain attached to areas 58 and 64 of lid 68.
- lid 68 is simply placed on base 38. Subsequently, areas 58 and 64 are moved downwardly so that areas 26 and 28 come to lie in the area defined by edges 72, 74, 76 and 78. It will be appreciated, that, once lid 68 has been reconnected to base 38 in this manner, upward movement of lid 68 relative to base 38 is impeded, as the sides of the wave shaped edges of areas 26 and 28 interfere with the sides of the wave shaped edges of panels 6 and 8 of the base 38 when areas 26 and 28 are moved in a direction that is in the plane of panels 6 and 8. Thus lid 38 is securely held on container 70 until areas 58 and 64 are hinged outwardly again.
- the preferred container accordingly permits reclosing.
- outward movement of side walls 6 and 8 due to vertical pressure is prevented by a holding force applied onto side walls 6 and 8 by areas 56, 60, 62 and 66 of lid 68.
- Lid 68 is furthermore securely held in place against vertical movement during handling. It will further be appreciated that, even in a state where lines of weakness 10, 12, 14 and 16 have been broken, the presence of areas 26 and 28 in panels 6 and 8 improves the stability of container's 70 resistance to crushing forces is improved through the interlocking between areas 26 and 28 and the remainders of panels 6 and 8 respectively.
- Fig. 2-1 shows a further preferred embodiment of a blank 100 for erecting into a container.
- the blank 100 comprises a panel 102 that in the erected state forms the bottom of the container. Further provided are panels 104 and 106 for forming container side walls in the erected state. Lines of weakness 108, 110, 112 and 114 extend from edges 116 and 118 of panels 104 and 106 respectively towards finger holes 120 and 122 and define removable areas 124 and 126.
- Fig. 2-2 shows a container 140 erected from blank 100 shown in Fig. 2-1.
- a lid can be adhered to areas 124 and 126, thus securing the lid to the container 140.
- a user can insert his or her fingers into the finger holes 120 and 122 respectively and apply an outwardly pulling force to areas 124 and 126 and to the parts of the lid connected to these areas 124 and 126, so as to cause breaking of lines of weakness 108, 110, 112 and 114.
- the line of weakness defined in a side wall of the base may further form an area of any shape that permits preventing separation of the lid from the base when the area is re-inserted into the spaced left by separation from the area.
- the line of weakness may define a trapezoidal area having a top edge that is shorter than the bottom edge, so that upward movement of the area and the lid is impeded.
