Figure 4 shows a cross section of the multipackage ofFigure 3 ; -
Figure 5 shows a crease arranged to turn a tongue with respect to a frame; -
Figure 6 shows a carrying device according to an embodiment of the invention; -
Figure 7 shows a carrying device according to a second embodiment of the invention; and -
Figure 8 shows a multipackage formed by using a carrying device which does not form a part of the invention. -
Figure 1 shows a carrying device which does not form a part of of the invention, which is arranged for forming a multipackage containing two cartons.Figure 2 shows twocartons 31 placed side by side, the carrying device ofFigure 1 being arranged to receive said twocartons 31 so as to form a multipackage.Figure 3 shows a multipackage formed from the carrying device ofFigure 1 and the cartons ofFigure 2 . - The carrying device comprises a
frame 2 which is arranged, in use, to surround peripherally an upper part of thecartons 31 of the multipackage when thecartons 31 are placed side by side. In a use situation, theframe 2 resides tightly against thecartons 31 in a lateral direction. Theframe 2 is provided with supporting means and carrying means. The supporting means are arranged, in use, to apply supporting forces to eachcarton 31 of the multipackage to enable carrying. The carrying means are arranged to enable a user to take hold of the multipackage in order to carry the multipackage. - For each
carton 31 to be included in the multipackage, the supporting means comprise atongue 6 at an upper part of theframe 2 as well as a lateral supportingsection 8 at a lower part of theframe 2. Eachtongue 6 is arranged, in use, to apply a vertical supporting force to arecess 35 located at the upper part of thecarton 31, and each lateral supportingsection 8 is arranged, in use, to apply a lateral supporting force to thecarton 31, below therecess 35. - It can be seen in
Figure 4 , which shows a cross section of the multipackage ofFigure 3 , how thetongue 6 penetrates into therecess 35. The vertical supporting force applied by eachtongue 6 is designated byarrow 65, while the lateral supporting force applied by each lateral supportingsection 8 is designated byarrow 85. - Each
tongue 6 is an integral part of theframe 2, in a use situation projecting obliquely from a side wall of theframe 2 with which it is associated. Eachtongue 6 is associated with theframe 2 through acrease 62 which is arranged to turn thetongue 6 inwards with respect to the part of theframe 2 with which thetongue 6 is associated. One such crease is shown inFigure 5 wherein a bending force generated by the crease is designated byarrow 95. - Each lateral supporting
section 8 is an integral part of theframe 2. Each lateral supportingsection 8 is formed by a part of a straight side wall of theframe 2 located below anadjacent tongue 6 while the lateral supportingsection 8 is located on the same side of theframe 2 as theadjacent tongue 6. - The carrying means comprises two carrying
holes 12 provided in theframe 2, each being arranged to receive, at least partly, at least one finger of the user for carrying the multipackage. The carryingholes 12 are located on opposite sides of theframe 2, these opposite sides being perpendicular to each side of theframe 2 which comprises atongue 6. - The carrying device of
Figure 1 further comprises atop wall 14 provided with aninformation aperture 16. When forming the multipackage, theinformation aperture 16 is arranged to allow atop 33 of eachcarton 31 of the multipackage to penetrate through thetop wall 14 such that in a use situation a "best before" date provided at thetop 33 of eachcarton 31 is readable. - The
information aperture 16 divides thetop wall 14 into two parts, each part being associated with an adjacent side wall containing acarrying hole 12 via acrease 72. Further, each part of thetop wall 14 is associated with an adjacent side wall, containing atongue 6, in order to stiffen the carrying device. A side wall containing a tongue can be provided with a projection which, when manufacturing the carrying device, is bent so as to be parallel with the top wall and glued thereto. - The
top wall 14 is provided with twocap openings 18, each being arranged to receive acap 37 of therespective carton 31. Thecap openings 18 enable thetop wall 14, which extends perpendicularly to the side walls of theframe 2 and which, in a use situation, thus extends horizontally, to be located lower than upper parts of thecaps 37. - The carrying device may not comprise a top wall. In such a case, it is naturally to be ensured that the side walls containing a carrying hole are strong enough to withstand stresses caused by carrying of the multipackage.
- The carrying device shown in
Figure 1 is arranged for forming a multipackage from cartons whose cross section below the recess has the shape of a rectangular parallelogram. To be more precise, the shape of the cross section of thecartons 31 of the multipackage ofFigure 3 below therecess 35 is that of a square. The carrying device may also be arranged for forming a multipackage from cartons whose cross section below the recess has the shape other than that of a rectangular parallelogram. - The multipackage of
Figure 3 contains two cartons. The carrying device according to the invention may also be arranged for binding more cartons to one another so as to enable them to be carried together. For instance, a carrying device for a four-carton multipackage is obtained by keeping the dimensions of the side walls containing a carrying hole as before and by enhancing the dimensions of the side walls perpendicular thereto so as to correspond with two adjacent cartons. In such a case, each side wall perpendicular to the side walls containing a carrying hole is thus provided with at least one tongue for each carton located on the side in question, said at least one tongue being arranged, in use, to apply a vertical supporting force to the recess located at the upper part of the respective carton. - The relative expressions used in the above disclosure, such as "at the upper part of the carton", "at the upper part of the frame" and "below the recess", refer to a normal use situation wherein the multipackage is in the vertical position according to
Figure 3 . In the multipackage ofFigure 3 , thecaps 37 of thecartons 31 reside at the upper part of the multipackage, as do thecarrying holes 12. -
Figure 6 shows a carrying device according to an embodiment of the invention. In the carrying device ofFigure 6 , a tongue 6' is an integral part of a frame 2', in a use situation projecting obliquely inwards from the side wall of the frame 2' with which it is associated. Each tongue 6' is associated with the frame 2' through a crease 62' which is arranged to turn the tongue 6' inwards with respect to the part of the frame 2' with which the tongue 6' is associated. The crease 62' is positioned in a lower edge of the tongue 6'. The crease 62' is curved such that a middle part of the crease 62' resides lower than ends of the crease 62'. An imaginary line passing through the ends of the crease 62' is horizontal. Since the crease 62' defines the lower edge of a tongue, the lower edge of the tongue 6' is curved. - The tongue 6' further comprises a middle crease 64' which extends from a tip of the tongue 6' to the lower edge and which is arranged to turn the middle part of the tongue 6' inwards with respect to edge parts of the tongue 6', making the tongue a concave groove.
-
Figure 7 shows a carrying device according to a second embodiment of the invention, which is arranged for forming a multipackage containing three cartons. The carrying device ofFigure 7 differs from the carrying devices ofFigures 1 and6 also in that in the carrying device ofFigure 7 ,tongues 6" are positioned on long sides of aframe 2", i.e. twotongues 6" are provided per each carton to be received, i.e. six tongues in total. - Each
tongue 6" is associated with theframe 2" through acrease 62". Thecrease 62" is positioned in a lower edge of thetongue 6". Eachcrease 62" has the shape of a wide V such that a middle part of thecrease 62" resides lower than ends of thecrease 62". An imaginary line passing through the ends of the crease 62' is horizontal. Eachtongue 6" comprises amiddle crease 64" which extends from a tip of thetongue 6" to the lower edge and which is arranged to turn the middle part of thetongue 6" inwards with respect to edge parts of thetongue 6", making the tongue a concave groove. Eachtongue 6" is symmetrical in respect of itsmiddle crease 64". -
Figure 8 shows a multipackage formed by using a carrying device which does not form a part of the invention. In the carrying device ofFigure 8 , atongue 6"' is an integral part of aframe 2"'. Thetongue 6"' is associated with theframe 2"' through acrease 62"' which is arranged to turn thetongue 6"' inwards with respect to the part of theframe 2"' with which thetongue 6"' is associated. Thecrease 62"' is positioned in a side edge of thetongue 6"'. Thus, thecrease 62"' extends in a vertical direction. The height of thetongue 6"' in its outermost part is smaller than in a part adjacent to thecrease 62"'. An upper edge of thetongue 6"' comprises a horizontal section next to thecrease 62"', and an inclined part at a distance from thecrease 62"', the inclined part of the upper edge sloping downwards, i.e. the lowest point of the inclined part of the upper part is located at an end that is far from thecrease 62"'. A lower edge of thetongue 6"' is upwardly inclined, the lower edge rising upwards as the distance from thecrease 62"' grows. - In the carrying devices according to the invention, each tongue is associated with the frame at one of its edges only. The rest of the edges of the tongue are clear of the frame part.
- The top walls of the carrying devices of
Figures 6 to 8 are provided with information apertures but do not comprise cap openings. When necessary, however, said carrying devices may be provided with cap openings. The carrying device according to the invention may be made e.g. from cardboard, corrugated board, plastic material or a combination thereof. The carrying device may be manufactured from a sheet-like initial preform, which is first provided with necessary perforations and creases, after which the perforated and creased initial preform is folded into its final shape and glued together. - It is apparent to one skilled in the art that the basic idea of the invention may be implemented in many different ways. The invention and its embodiments are thus not restricted to the above-described examples but may vary within the scope of the claims.
