Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a tray for carton packages used for containing and transporting liquids, beverages, foodstuffs and like.
  • Especially the invention concerns a tray for brick type carton packages.
  • Different types of liquid tight carton packages are commonly used in food industry mainly for packaging beverages or other liquid containing foodstuffs.
  • Packages are made of board that is treated or coated with layers of polymer, metal foil or other barrier material.
  • the barrier material or materials are used to provide sealing properties that are required in order to prevent travel of moisture, gases or any contaminating medium over the wall of the package.
  • the material used for making the carton is chosen according to the requirements of the properties of the material that is packaged and the required resistance to permeability for substances outside the carton. For example, in food industry durability under moist environment, water tightness and good aromatic seal as well as good hygienic properties are needed.
  • the food industry is a typical user of carton packages.
  • the package type is very flexible and can be used for many other types of products.
  • the form of the packages may vary a lot and a good overview of different package types can be found from web pages of package manufacturers.
  • One common type is a gable top package that has a wedge formed gable top. The top can be opened by tearing the folds of the top open or it may comprise a cork for disposing the contents of the package.
  • Other common type is a brick container that has a rectangular cross section and flat bottom and top surfaces. The top may comprise a fold that can be lifted up from the surface and cut open on an edge or the package may comprise a screw cap or other openable closure for disposing the contents of the package.
  • the purpose of the invention is to provide a tray for stacking and transporting carton packages, especially of packages of brick type.
  • One purpose of the invention is to provide a tray that can accommodate also packages that comprise a cork on the top surface.
  • the invention provides a trav that can accommodate two different types of brick packages.
  • the invention provides a tray that limits the movement of the packages sideways in order to prevent a stack of carton layers collapsing under sideways loads and acceleration.
  • the tray can be used to protect the packages for damage.
  • the tray carries at least some of the vertical load of the stack.
  • the tray carries at least a part of the sideways load directed to the stack.
  • the tray according to the invention comprises a first quadrangular surface forming a flat support plateau for accommodating bottoms of carton packages and second quadrangular surface forming a flat support plateau for accommodating tops of carton packages, a first edge surrounding the first flat surface and extending away therefrom, a second edge surrounding the second flat surface and extending away there form and at least a first row of recesses formed in the second surface and a second row of recesses formed on the second surface, the second row of recesses being dissimilar to the first row of recesses.
  • At least one row of recesses comprises circular cavities.
  • the second surface comprises four rows of circular cavities and each row is arranged in a straight line and first two of the rows are arranged in a manner that the circular cavities are in the center of the tray on both sides of the longitudinal centerline of the tray and the other two rows are on both sides or the intersecting rows between said intersecting rows and the second edge.
  • At least one row of recesses is a straight groove running longitudinally over the second surface.
  • the second surface comprises five straight grooves.
  • one of the grooves is arranged on the centerline of the tray.
  • two of the grooves are arranged between rows of circular recesses and two of the grooves are arranged between a row of circular recesses and the second edge.
  • the tray comprises corner struts in each corner of the first quadrangular surface and the struts extend on both sides of the first edge that forms the corner.
  • corner struts are foldable over the first surface.
  • the purpose of the invention is to provide a tray that enables stacking carton packages such a beverage packs on layers on top of each other.
  • the carton packages are easily deformable because of rather soft material and because the contents of the pack is not pressurized as plastic bottles. Pressurizing strengthens the bottles against point loads and buckling but carton packages are easily damaged by such forces. Carton packages can be damaged also by scratching.
  • the tray provides enhanced protection for the packages during the transport and handling.
  • the tray enables stacking several, even 5 - 8 layers of packs on top of each other and the trays keep that stack reliably together.
  • One main problem in transporting carton package stacks is easy collapsing of the stack because of sideways forces and acceleration.
  • the tray solves this problem by binding the packages together so that the buckling strength of the packages especially in corners and as a layer is increased. When corner struts are used, the struts absorb part of the sideways forces and loads and thus keep the packages unharmed.
  • the sideways loads are mainly caused when the stack is moved and the movement is rapidly or abruptly stopped either by hitting an obstacle or careless handling of the stack.
  • the tray and the corner struts protect the stack also when the stack is wrapped in plastic shrink wrap. If the tray is not used, the wrap easily presses the edges of the packages placed in the corners of the stack inwards and thus spoils these packages.
  • top side of the tray is the side on which the carton packages are loaded.
  • the bottom side is the side that is placed on top of the carton packages.
  • a brick package is a package that has quadrangular cross section and flat bottom and top surfaces.
  • a slimpack is a brick package that has quadrangular cross section with two long sides and two shorter sides.
  • a square pack is a brick package that has a square cross section.
  • Figure 1 show a stack of slimpacks 1 placed on trays 2. Number of pack 1 layers and trays is 5. These types of stacks are formed automatically by the manufacturer of the product. Stacks may be placed on a pallet of standardized size (EUR pallet, for example) or transported on a wheeled dolly that accommodates one stack. As the dimensions of slimpacks 1 are a fraction of a EUR pallet, a layer of packs covers a standard pallet in full. Since the packs require all space on a pallet and the outer perimeter of the pallet should be exceeded as little as possible, the outer dimensions of the tray should be kept in minimum. This means that walls 3 of the edges surrounding the layer of packages must be thin.
  • Each tray 2 comprises corner struts 4 that have a shape of a L-profile that faces inwards in the corner.
  • the branches 5, 6 extend in direction of walls 3 of the edge 9 that forms the corner.
  • the distal end of each corner strut 4 comprises also a ledge 7 that is dimensioned to be approximately on the level of the tops of the slimpacks.
  • the ledge 7 fits inside the perimeter of the edge 9 surrounding the bottom side of the tray 2. In this way every superposed tray 2 is supported by the corner struts 4 of a lower tray 1.
  • the corner struts may comprise a surface 16 for attaching stickers containing product and package data, for example.
  • the form and features are shown more closely in figures 2 and 3 .
  • the carton packages are carried on a flat support plateau 8.
  • the support plateau is formed of a grid like surface wherein the most extreme protrusions are set on a same level, thus producing an even surface for bottom surfaces of carton packages.
  • the reason for the grid like design is to keep the material consumption in minimum and simultaneously obtain a rigid structure.
  • the surface pattern also reflects the design on the opposite side of the surface.
  • the support plateau 8 is surrounded by an upper edge 9 on all sides.
  • the walls 3 of the edge 9 are also a grid structure in order to keep material consumption and weight in minimum and the thickness of the wall small.
  • In the middle of the shorter sides of the edge 9 are holes 10 for gripping and handling the tray. Longer edges comprise two locking and positioning knobs 11. Design of these features can be varied and the trays may further comprise pop up locking elements, if desired.
  • the tray is foldable U-shaped end supports 12.
  • the longitudinal frame part 13 of the support is pivotally connected to the edges 9 of the tray and runs along the shorter side of the tray 2.
  • the frame part has protrusions 14 that are dimensioned to fit into similar recesses 15 on the inner wall of the edge 9.
  • the extensions of the U form the corned struts 4 that protect the packages and support the superposed tray.
  • the extensions have a L-shaped profile.
  • the underside of the tray comprises a surface, which forms a support plateau for the tops of the carton packages in a similar way as the top side has a plateau that forms support for bottoms of the carton packs.
  • the surface is surrounded by a bottom edge 33 that surrounds the surface in a similar way as the upper edge 9 surrounds the support plateau 8 for the bottoms of the carton packs.
  • the tray must accommodate different types of carton packages. As the tray is designed to be placed on top of the packages, the bottom surface of the tray must be designed so that it can be set on various kinds of tops of the packages.
  • the design of the top of the packages may be entirely flat, in which case the support plateau for tops may be entirely flat.
  • the carton packages may include different types of resealable closures such as screw caps or pop-up recaps.
  • Screw caps extend rather high from the top surface of the carton, recaps are slimlined, but make a bulge on the top of the carton also.
  • Few examples of different kind of resealable cartons can be seen in figures 4 - 5 .
  • Figure 4 shows a layer of slimpacks having screw caps 17 placed on a tray according to the invention.
  • the corner struts 4 are raised to support the edges of the slimpacks 1 placed in the corners of the tray 1.
  • the tops of the slimpacks 1 are not symmetrical.
  • the screw caps 17 are placed on a corner of the top of the slimpack 1.
  • the bottom surface 18 forms a support plateau that can be placed on a top of a layer of carton packages, in this example a layer of slimpacks.
  • the support plateau of the bottom surface 18 will rest on the flat part 19 of the carton top.
  • the slimpacks are arranged on a specific array so that the screw caps 17 of the outmost slimpacks 1 on the outer rows on the longer sides of the tray are placed inwards away from the edge 9 of the tray. This provides extra protection for the caps 17 and the corners of the slimpacks 1 having the caps 17.
  • the two middlemost rows are oriented in same direction as the neighboring outer rows 19 so that the caps 17 are opposite to each other on both sides of the longitudinal centerline of the tray.
  • the screw caps 17 are offset on opposing rows about the half thickness of the slimpack 1.
  • the bottom surface must accommodate the screw caps 17 when a tray is placed on to the layer of slimpacks 1.
  • the bottom surface 18 has four rows 23 - 26 of circular recesses 22 formed in it.
  • the outmost rows 23, 26 of the recesses are placed at a distance from the outer edge 9 of the tray that corresponds the distance of the screw cap 17 from the opposite outer edge of the slimpack 1 in direction of its width.
  • the inner rows 24 28 are placed on opposite sides of the longitudinal center line of the tray.
  • the circular recesses of the center rows are offset in a similar way as the screw caps of the slimpacks 1 in figure 4 .
  • This placement of recesses is designed for an amount of slimpacks 1 that fit on a standard dolly that is one fourth of a standard EUR pallet.
  • the arrangement of the circular recesses is adapted to a number of packages that can be packed on a standard size transport system.
  • the tray can be scaled to other sizes and then number of the recesses and rows should be altered.
  • Figure 4 shows a layer of squarepacks 27 having screw caps 17 placed on a tray according to the invention.
  • the squarepacks have a rectangular cross section and the scew caps are placed in the middle of one edge of the top 19 of the pack, whereby the screw caps 17 of the packs 27 can be positioned in straight rows.
  • the bottom surface 18 of the tray has five straight grooves 28 - 33 for accommodating the screw caps 17 of the squarepacks 27.
  • One 30 of the grooves run on the longitudinal centerline of the tray and other parallel thereto between the rows 23 - 26 of the circular recesses 22, the outmost 28, 32 of the rows being placed between the outmost rows 23, 26 of the circular recesses 22 and the bottom edge 33 of the tray 2.
  • the number of the grooves 28 - 32 must be adapted to the number of the rows of squarepacks 27.
  • the grooves 38 - 32 accommodate the screw caps also when the packs 27 are turned 180°
  • FIG. 6 One further package type is shown in figure 6 .
  • This is a slimpack 1 equipped with a pop-up resealable cap (recap 34).
  • the recaps are placed on the top of the slimpack in a similar manner as the screw caps.
  • the circular recesses can't accommodate the angular recap 34, whereby a special recess for the cap has to be provided.
  • This is done by forming cutouts 35 having straight edges 36 around each circular cavity 22. These cutouts 35 form a straight edged groove between the straight longitudinal grooves 38 - 32.
  • the depth of the cutouts is smaller than the depth of the circular cavities as the recaps are normally much thinner than the height of the screw caps whereby their extension from the top of the carton package is smaller.
  • These cutouts do not need to be straight edged, but they must be large enough to accommodate the recaps used.
  • the embodiment shown herein is rather simple to accomplish.
  • the embodiments described above accommodate three common types of carton packages. It can be contemplated that the bottom surface of the tray is designed to accommodate other types of packages instead of those described. However, in order to be economically effective, the tray should preferably accommodate at least two different types of packages.
  • the upper and bottom edges are essential for protecting and supporting the layers of packages. The heights of the edges are not critical as such, but should be kept in a reasonable minimum in order to diminish the dimensions of the tray in return transport and storage.
  • the bottom edge surrounding the tops of the carton packages is typically lower than the upper edge, but both edges are needed to receive the crosswise forces and accelerations.
