BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
One currendv preferred embodiment of the: invention will now be described with reference to the attached representations in which:-a plan view of a flat of foldable sheet for construct mudpack packaging rings according to the invention, perspective showing one type of beverage can for which the packaging rings may be used, Figure 3 is a ph the n placed over the lids ctangular arrangement of six beverage cans of the type shown in figur Figure 4 is a detailed view of the neck and lid of one of the beveiage ca of figure 3 which shows the engagement of the tabs of the first pane] locaied under the circumferential seam of said can, Figure 4A is a another detailed view of said neck and lid of one of Ihe beverage cans with the second panel folded over, Figure 5 is a perspective view of assembled multipack packaging rings for a six. pack. of said beverage cans in accordance. with the invention, and e 6 is a perspective view of, plate for pressing the panels over the can lids when assenibling the nultipack packaging rings, DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring first to figure 1 there is shown a flat blank I of foldable 'material. It is preferably bet 4 111111 to:7 mm thickness to provide the necessary strength to hold the bey e still fa g printing. Suitable material for the.
blank n d, and stock t egradable materials ing plastics such as a biodegradable PLA film as would he known to a person skilled in the art. With this embodiment the currently preferred material is 508un gins Custom Kole as produced by Westrock Packaging Systems of Atlanta Georgia United erica, The blank is die cut using known methods and apparatus to form a set of circular apertures 2 arranged in a rectangular array within a first panel section 1A. There are inwardly directed tabs 3 formed tches 4 arranged around the circunitercnce of these apertures 2. With this example of an embodiment for h known 375 ml aluminium drink cans as described below the diameter 4A of the apertures 2 as measured between opposite inside edges of the tabs 3 may be 47.5 min, The length 4B of the tabs 3 in the radial direction may be 4 min, rnie sheet h * includes an. adjoining second panel section 5 of similar shape and size to panel IA. Panel 5 is cut to form a set of;Aar apertures 6 wrh smooth edges 7. These apertures 6 correspond in arrangement to the aforementioned apertures 2 in panel IA and with this embodiment which intended for 375m1 cans may have diameters 7A of 53 On one side panel 5 joins with panel IA along a fold line 713. The other joins a display tag 8 along another fold line 9. Both panels IA and 5 preferably have rounded corners 10, An example of a 375nd aluminium beverage can for use with the invention, shown in figure 2, is a well known design as manufactured for example by Pty Ltd of Southbant Victoria 3006 Austraia, It has a one piece side I and bottom I2 which is stamped and pressed from a single sheet of aluminium, The p er portion of the can is formed into a neck 13 of reduced diameter top edge of the wall seals to the lid 14 along a circumferentiai seam 15. The outside diameter of this seam with this embodiment is 54 min. so thatu ed apertures 6 are preferably a push fit thercover.
To form tt packaging rings panel IA is fi pressed down over the seams 15 of an arrangement of cans corresponding to the position of thk apertures 2 as shown figure 3. The diameters of the apertures 2 between the inside edges of opposite tabs are, with this enibodnneni, preferably 6,5 mm an. the diameter of the I5 so that as they are pressed down over the seam the tabs 3 are i iallv bent in the region of their base I5A upwardly and outwardly before resiliently displacing at least partially back to engage under said seam as shown in figure 4.
The cans are thereby held by' the tabs 3 within the panel apertures 2 in accordance with the invention. The second panel 5 is then folded over along line. 7A (see arrow A) so that the smooth edged apertures 6 push fit over respective s of the seams 15 whereby said panel 5 overlies and reinforces panel IA underneath, As shown in figure 4A the edges 7 of so press.1.1 This novel tabs 3 above their base 15A to hold and lock them under the locking display tag secures the cans against accidental slippage out of the rings. The len be bend down along fold line 9 to locale the frontof the.
multipack rings as shown in figure. 5. This tag 8 is ideally placed for scanning of bar codes or -di-play of other indicia. There may also be finger holes 16 along the. centre of the multi-pack packaging rings which align through both panels when folded over, This folded over double layered constniction for the rings according to the tvention provides improved packaging strength for lifting and transporting the cans while still only requiring a relatively thin biodegradable sheet. This facilitates printing and subsequent disposal of the packaging rings after usc.
e understood that ae dimensions provided for the. aforementioned embodiment are given by way of nonlimiting illustrative example for a 375 ml e for other can sizes and designs wtth.out departing from the scope of he invention.
It also be understood that directional references used herein such as "upper", "upwardly", "over", "bottom", "down", "downwardly" and the like refer to the packaging rings in one position of use as illustrated and are not to be construed as necessarily limiting.
A plate 17 as shown in figure 6 is also chsclosecl for simultaneously pressing the panels ap ures over the can seams. In this case there is a rectangular array of apertures 18 with bevelled edges 19 on one face. When the sheet panels are aligned over the cans and then pressed down with this plate the apertures 2 and 6 are quickly and neatly fitted over the seams. With high volume packaging operations this plate would preferably he incorporated into a suitable mechanical press.
hus appreciated that this Mon at lc Orin o embodiment disclosed provides improved multipack packaging rings for beverage cans. The example disclosed however is only the currently preferred farm of the packaging rings and a variety' of modifications may be made within the scope of the invention example the number and arrangement of the cans packaged by the nngs may vary from the six-pack rectangular array shown. The shape, size dimensions, configuration and placement of the apertures as well as the shape and positit»f the displa) may all be. changed hi accorda.
