Definitions

• This invention relates to a container blank, a container, and methods for forming a container blank and a container . It is known to produce containers having a circular base and a rectangular top from a blank of laminate material of a fan-like shape having converging opposite side edges.
• a container blank with opposite, substantially rectilinear, first and second lateral edges substantially parallel to each other, said blank including a row of top closure panels extending from the first edge to the second edge and bounded by a third edge, the top closure panels being separated from each other by lines of weakness for providing fold lines and extending away from the third edge, and a bottom fourth edge extending between the first and second edges and substantially parallel to the third edge, the fourth edge being substantially free from any lines of weakness extending away therefrom.
• a container comprised of a piece of material, said piece having opposite, substantially parallel, downwardly extending, first and second edges, said container having a downwardly extending seam bounded by said first and second edges respectively internally and externally of the container, said container including a loop of top closure panels bounded by a top third edge of said piece extending substantially perpendicularly to said seam, the top closure panels being sealed together adjacent said third edge and separated from each other by lines of weakness providing fold lines extending away from the third edge, and said piece having a bottom fourth edge being substantially free from any lines of weakness extending away therefrom.
• a method of forming a container blank comprising cutting out the blank from material so that the blank has opposite, substantially rectilinear, first and second lateral edges substantially parallel to each other, and scoring said material so as to form lines of weakness for providing fold lines and extending away from a top third edge of the blank and separating from each other a plurality of top closure panels of the blank, and leaving a fourth lower edge opposite and substantially parallel to the third edge substantially free from any lines of weakness extending away therefrom.
• the container from the blank so as to have tops and bottoms of respective, different geometric shapes, but formed from a substantially rectangular blank.
• conventionally-shaped rectangular blanks can be cut from the laminate material with minimal waste and formed into containers having, preferably, circular bottoms and rectangular tops.
• substantially rectangular blanks results in a more efficient converting process compared to that using blanks of a fan-like shape, through the much better nesting of substantially rectangular blanks on the web of laminate material from which the blanks are cut. This, in comparison with blanks of a fan-like shape, leads to cost savings for the following reasons :-
• lines of weakness which are not for providing fold lines, may be provided in the blank, which either are substantially parallel to the fourth edge or extend away from that edge, but these are for purposes other than folding, such as for aesthetic purposes or for improving the grip properties of the container.
• the lines of weakness which separate the top closure panels are present to promote intentional folding of the material to form the rectangular top of the container.
• the type of top closure can by any desired, such as gable-top, flat-top or slant-top and may comprise a suitable plastics top insert, but is, preferably, a slanted asymmetric fin-seal type of top closure.
• the blank is preferably formed of a laminate material.
• the circular base of the container can be closed in a similar manner to that described in WO2005/120964 using a bottom insert comprising a substantially flat floor and a downwardly directed flange about which the fourth edge of the present blank is folded.
• a rectangular container blank for forming a container with a substantially circular bottom and a substantially rectangular top is that containers of differing internal volumes can be formed on a rotary mandrel system in which the mandrels are of a substantially constant rectangular cross-section along their entire length. Therefore, just by adjusting the height of the container blank, different container sizes, with the same bottom diameter and the same cross-sectional area of the top, can be formed without having to change the mandrels.
• a container including a piece of material, the piece having opposite substantially rectilinear, first and second edges substantially parallel to each other, said container having a base portion of larger external cross- sectional area than a top portion of the container.
• a method of forming a container comprising receiving a blank with opposite, substantially rectilinear, first and second edges substantially parallel to each other for providing a container sleeve, forming a bottom closure to form a base portion, and folding top closure panels of the blank to form a top portion, wherein the base portion is of larger external cross-sectional area than said top portion.
• a substantially circular base portion of larger cross- sectional area than a substantially rectangular top portion results in a particularly advantageous arrangement to resist toppling forces and so remain upright.
• the base portion is advantageously formed by applying a bottom insert as previously mentioned.
• lines of weakness can be present at a mid-portion of the container body at the transition from circular cross-section to rectangular cross-section to reduce stresses on the laminate material that may result in creasing and/or cracking thereof .
• a container comprising a top-sealed carton, said carton including a top closure including a quadrangular roof obturating sub-panel, a pour spout fitment having a flange attached to said obturating sub-panel, and, disposed outwardly of said obturating sub-panel, a top sealing sub- panel, the obturating sub-panel and the top sealing sub-panel lying in the same plane, wherein a portion of said flange overlaps a boundary between the obturating sub-panel and the top sealing sub-panel.
• a method of forming a container comprising receiving a container blank with opposite, substantially rectilinear, first and second edges substantially parallel to each other for providing a container sleeve, forming and sealing a bottom closure arrangement, and attaching a pour spout fitment to a quadrangular roof obturating sub-panel of a top closure arrangement, the top closure arrangement including a top sealing sub-panel disposed outwardly of and lying in the same plane as said obturating sub-panel, said attaching comprising attaching a flange of said pour spout fitment to said obturating sub-panel such that a portion of said flange overlaps a boundary between said obturating sub- panel and said top sealing sub-panel.
• the pour spout fitment is preferably attached to the obturating sub-panel after filling and top sealing of the container, and the obturating sub- panel would include a partial depth cut, preferably in the form of an open loop, would be present so that the piece of material surrounded by the partial depth cut does not fall into the container contents upon first opening.

• a substantially rectangular container blank 2 of laminate material comprises substantially rectilinear, first and second edges 4 and 6 parallel to each other.
• the blank 2 further comprises upper and lower, third and fourth edges 8 and 10 parallel to each other and extending between the first and second edges 4 and
• the angles between the edges 4, 8 and 10 and 6, 8 and 10 are substantially 90°.
• top closure panels P12, P14, P16, P18 and P20 Extending along the third edge 8 there is a row of top closure panels P12, P14, P16, P18 and P20 separated from each other by fold lines S22, S24, S26 and S28.
• the top closure panels P12 to P20 comprise a row of top sealing sub-panels P12a to P20a arranged along the straight third edge 8 of the blank 2 and a row of obturating sub-panels P12b to P20b between the sealing sub-panels P12a to P20a and corresponding body panels P22, P24, P26, P28 and P30.
• the edge 4 is to slightly overlap the edge 6 in a manner known per se when the container is formed from the blank 2.
• the obturating sub-panels P12, P16 and P20 are substantially rectangular as are the sealing sub panels P12a to P20a, which are of substantially identical height to each other.
• the obturating sub-panels P12b and P20b are of an extent significantly smaller than the obturating sub-panel P16b, which is formed with a through hole 32 for receiving or underlying a pour spout fitment.
• the hole 32 would not be present, but there would be a circular partial depth cut in the laminate material which be fully cut and pushed inwardly of the carton upon opening in a known manner .
• the obturating sub-panels P14b and P18b are each comprised of triangular sub-sub-panels P14c, P14d and P14e/P18c, P18d and P18e of which P14c and P14d/P18c and P18d have boundaries 34 and 36 with extents substantially coextensive with extents of the respective obturating sub- panels Pl2b, P16b and P20b.
• the sub-sub panels P14c and P14d/P18c and P18d meet at a point centrally of the length of the sealing sub-panels P14a and P18a, whence central fold lines 38 and 40 of the respective sealing sub-panels P14a and P18a extend to the edge 8.
• Each further triangular sub-sub panel P14e/P18e has a boundary 42 inclined away from the edge 8 and common with the adjacent body panel P24 and P28.
• the body panels P22 to P30 are defined by lines of weakness 44 which are not fold lines but are for allowing a smooth translation between the substantially rectangular top portion of the formed container and the substantially circular base portion.
• the lines of weakness 44 prevent potential cracking of the laminate material and thus allows a smooth bending of the laminate material when the carton from the blank 2 is formed.
• the lines of weakness 44 are substantially U-shaped for body panels P24, P26 and P28 and substantially half-U-shaped for body panels P22 and P30.
• a fold line S46 Arranged substantially parallelly to the edge 10 and extending from the edge 4 to the edge 6 is a fold line S46 about which the edge 10 is folded when forming the bottom closure of the carton.
• the blank When forming a carton from the blank shown in Figure 1, the blank may have the pour spout fitment applied whilst in its flat state before being converted into a carton sleeve in which the body panels P22 to P30 form a loop round the sleeve, or it can be applied, as is conventional, after the body of the carton has been formed and bottom sealed and either before or after filling and top sealing.
• the bottom closure is then formed in any per se known manner, but in particular to a similar way as described in WO2005/120964. Then, there is preferably pre-breaking of the fold lines of the top closure.
• the obturating sub-panels P12b/P20b and P16b are turned about their inner boundaries 48 and 50 respectively, whilst the triangular sub-sub-panels P14e and P18e are turned outwardly about their respective boundaries 42 and relative to the respective pairs of sub-sub-panels P14c and P14d/P18c and P14d.
• each of the sealing sub-panels P14a and P18a is folded outwardly on itself about the fold lines 38 and 40 thereof.
• the inside faces of the top sealing sub-panels P12a/P20a and P16a are sealed to each other while the inside surface of each of the folded sealing sub-panels P14a and P18a is sealed to itself, thereby forming a fin-seal.
• the fin-seal is turned away from the fitment and thereafter, respective end regions of the fin-seal, i.e. those regions being the sealing sub-panels P14a and P18a, and the remainders of the respective closure panels P14 and P18 are turned down about the boundaries 42 towards respective outside surfaces of the now side body panels P24 and P28 and then tacked to those outside surfaces.
• the version of the blank 2 shown in Figure 2 is particularly suitable for forming an aseptically-filled carton.
• the blank 2 of Figure 2 differs from that of the blank of Figure 1 in that the top closure sub-panel P16b has a partial depth cut 52 in the form of an open loop.
• a pour spout fitment is applied to the formed, filled and sealed container, a flange of the fitment is attached to the obturating sub-panel P16b.
• the broken line in Figure 2 denotes the outer edge 57 of the flange when attached to the sub-panel P16b, of which a small upper portion overlaps the boundary 54 between the obturating sub-panel P16b and the top-sealing sub-panel P16a so as to protrude into the top sealing sub-panel P16a.
• the blank 2 of Figure 2 includes, in addition to the fold line S46, a plurality of transverse lines of weakness 56 substantially parallel to the edges 8 and 10 and which extend between but do not cross the body panels P22 to P30. The lines of weakness 56 are present to improve a user's grip on the completed carton.
• the configuration of Figure 2 allows for a relatively small roof obturating sub-panel P16b and the use of a pour spout fitment having a flange overlapping the boundary 54, as already discussed.
• the flange of the pour spout fitment is attached to the inside surface of the laminate material and it would be impractical to have a portion of the flange overlapping the boundary 54, since this would greatly complicate the sealing together of the top-sealing sub-panels P12a-P20a.
• the greater angle of the boundaries 42 gives a relatively larger size of the sub- panel P16b.
• Figure 3 shows an aseptically filled carton 100 made from a blank similar to that of Figure 2.
• the carton 100 has a substantially circular end closure or base and a substantially rectangular top closure of an asymmetric fin- seal nature, the top closure including a pour spout fitment in the form of a screw cap fitment 58 which overlies a partial depth cut (not seen) .
• the base of the carton 100 has a larger cross-sectional area than the substantially rectangular top closure, the cross-sectional area decreasing progressively upwardly of the carton 100. This results in a relatively stable carton.
• a third version of the blank 2 is shown in which the body panels P24 and P28 are substantially V-shaped and bounded by the lines of weakness 44.
• the lines of weakness 56 to assist a user in gripping the finished carton are on the body panels P24 and P28 and are inclined substantially parallelly to the boundaries 42 between the body panels P24 and P28 and the respective adjacent triangular sub-sub panels P14e and P18e.
• Figure 5 shows a carton 100 made from the blank 2 of
• FIG 4 with the screw cap 58 attached to the obturating top closure panel P16.
• the base is substantially circular with a larger cross-sectional area than the substantially rectangular top closure.
• the blank 2 is similar to that shown in Figure 4 in that the lines of weakness 44 define substantially V-shaped body panels P24 and P28, but there are no further lines of weakness for assisting the user to grip the formed carton.
• the top closure sub- panel P16b also includes a partial depth cut 52' similar to that of Figure 2 in that the cut 52' is in the form of an open loop and is wholly contained within the boundaries of the top closure sub-panel P16b but has one free end further from the central zone of the loop than the other end, as described in WO 2006/000881.
• the upper edge 8 has a shallow V- shape resulting in a shortening of the central fold lines 38 and 40, but which do not alter the substantially rectangular profile of the whole blank 2.
• This shortening of the central fold lines 38 and 40 is necessary owing to the angle of the boundary lines 42 in relation to the horizontal. It can be seen from Figure 7 that the boundaries 42 create a relatively large degree of slanting of the top closure sub-panel P16b.
• Figure 7 shows a carton 100 constructed from the blank 2 of Figure 6 with a screw cap fitment 58 attached to the top closure panel P16 which in a known manner, when opened, will completely cut through the laminate material along the partial depth cut 52' in order to gain access to the contents of the carton 100.
• the blank 2 of Figure 6 and the corresponding carton 100 of Figure 7 are particularly suitable for aseptic applications.
• the version of the blank 2 shown in Figure 8 has the lines of weakness 44 defining four lanceolate body sub-panels 60 between the body panels P22 to P30.
• the lanceolate body sub-panels 60 include the transverse lines of weakness 56 for grip-assistance.
• the blank 2 of Figure 8 can be used to form the carton 100 of Figure 9. Referring to Figure 10a, two cartons 100 are shown, the carton 100 on the left-hand side having an asymmetric fin- seal form of top closure (i.e. a slanting roof) and the carton on the right-hand side having a flat, symmetrical fin- seal form of top closure.
• Figure 10b shows diagrammatically, by way of the dot-dot-dash lines, that the diameter d of the substantially circular base portion (in the lower part of Figure 10b) is greater than the width w of the rectangular top portion (in the upper part of Figure 10b) .
• Figures 11a and lib show a similar comparison, but the cartons 100 in Figure 11a are of a gable-top nature, the carton n the left- hand side of Figure 11a being an asymmetric gable-top closure and the carton 100 on the right-hand side being of a standard flat gable-top form.
