Description

Oarrier for flanged articles TH MEAD COLORATION CARRIER FOR FLANGED ARTICLES Abstract of the Disclosure A carrier for gripping an article having a flange comprises a tubular structure having top, intermediate, bottom and side walls. At least one pair of opposed tab structures is struck from the top and intermediate walls to define article receiving apertures, a third aperture being formed in the bottom wall in aligned relationship with the apertures in the top and intermediate walls. The tab structures struck from the intermediate wall cooperate with the tab structures struck from the top wall to form article gripping and supporting means for engaging the article underneath its flange, the flange constituting the cap of a bottle or the chime of a can or the like.
This invention is an improvement over United States Patent 3>387,&79 issued June 11, 1968 on application serial number 636,^71 and is directed primarily to strengthening the carrier of the above-mentioned patent by incorporating an intermediate panel together with article supporting tab structures struck therefrom which supplement the gripping and supporting action of tabs formed in the top panel according to the above patent. In addition, by this invention, the side walls of the carrier are approp iately reinforced and therefore strengthened and a side panel is arranged so as to depend from one of the side walls and to engage the shoulders of the packaged items.
According to this invention an elongated tubular structure having top, intermediate, bottom and side walls is provided with aligned apertures to receive and grip an end flange of an item to be packaged. Opposed support tab structures are struck from the top wall and similar support tab structures are struck from the intermediate wall, the tab structures struck from each of these walls openings defined by the tab structures are in aligned relationship as is a third aperture formed in the bottom panel. Reinforcing panels are disposed in flat face contacting relationship with the side walls and a side panel for advertising or display purposes depends from the lower edge of one side wall and engages the items to be packaged.
For a better understanding of the invention reference may be had to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in which FIG. 1 is a plan view of a blank constructed according to the invention; FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a set-up carrier formed from the blank depicted in FIG. 1 and which shows the cooperation between an article packaged in the carrier and the cooperating portions of the carrier; FIG. 3 Is an enlarged fragmentary cross-sectional view taken along the line designated 3-3 in FIG. 2; and in which FIG. k is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along the line designated k-h in FIG. 2.
In the drawings, the top panel of the carrier is generally designated by the numeral 1 and extends between side edges 2 and 3. A medial fold line k is formed within the top panel 1. Side wall is foldably joined to top panel 1 along fold line 3 and side wall extension 6 is foldably joined to the bottom edge of side wall 5 along fold line 7.
Foldably joined along fold line 2 to the top panel 1 is side wall 8. Bottom panel is foldably joined to the bottom edge 10 of side wall 8 and a reinforcin panel 11 is foldably joined along fold line 12 to a side edge of bottom panel » Intermediate panel 13 is foldably joined along fold line lh to the upper edge of reinforcing panel 11 and reinforcing panel 15 is foldably joined along fold line 16 to a side edge of intermediate panel 13· As is apparent from FIG. 2 the blank is formed into an contacting relation to side walls 5 and 8 respectively. Of course this arrangement enhances the strength and serviceability of the carrier particularly for use in conjunction with relatively heavy articles which are packaged in the carrier such as bottles "B", the bottles being provided with caps designated "C" .
For the purpose of gripping the bottles "B" underneath the peripheral edges of their caps "C", tab structure is provided according to this invention. These tab structures are struck from top panel 1 and from intermediate panel 13 and are configured and disposed so as to form in these panels aligned apertures for receiving the necks of the packaged bottles. For example in top wall 1 a pair of support tabs 17 and l8 are foldably joined along fold lines 19 and 20 to top wall 1 and these support tabs are interconnected with each other along fold line 21. Support tabs 17 and 18 are hereinafter sometimes referred to as a support tab structure. The tabs 17 and 18 are disposed in opposed alignment with tabs 25 and 26 and in general alignment with the length of top wall 1. In like fashion the support tabs 25 and 26 are foldably joined to top wall 1 along fold lines 27 and 28 respectively and are inter-connected along fold line 29. The edges 30 and 31 of tabs 25 and 26 are disposed opposite to the edges 22 and 23 of tabs 17 and 18. These opposed edges constitute gripping means for engaging the bottle underneath its cap and define aperture 2h.
Also formed in top wall 1 is another pair of tab structures which comprise elements having the same designating numerals as are used to designate the structures associated with aperture 2k and such elements define the aperture designated generally by the numeral 32.
It is obvious that these tab structures when folded upwardly constitute bottle gripping means. in order to strengthen the tab structures struck from top > invention and article gripping tab structures 33 and k are struck from intermediate wall 13. These tub structures are foldably joined to reinforcing panels 15 and 11 along the fold lines 16 and Ik as is obvious from FIG. 1.
Tab structures 33 and 3^ are similar to tab structures formed from tabs 17 and 18. Tab structure 33 is formed with a pair of diagonal slits designated by the numerals 35 and 36 and with a transverse slit 37. Similarly tab 3^ is provided with a pair of diagonal slits 38 and 39 and with a transverse slit ko. The two portions of tab structure 33 which are disposed on opposite sides of transverse slit 37 may be regarded as tabs although principally these tabs are not fully separated by the flexing slit 37 at least for a portion of their length. In similar fashion the portions of tab structure 3^ on opposite sides of slit ko may be regarded as individual tabs. Tab structures 33 and 3^ form a pair of apertures generally designated by the numerals kl and ^2.
The bottom panel 9 is provided with a third set of bottle receiving apertures generally designated by the numerals ^3 and kk.
With the blank of FIG. 1 assembled as depicted in FIG. 2 the tab structures 33 and 3k, being longer than the tab structures associated with the top panel, extend into arid through the openings into the apertures 2k and 32 and their upper edges k$ and k6 are disposed in approximately the same plane as the edges 22 and 23 of tabs 17 and l8 and 30 and 31 of tabs 25 and 26. Thus as is obvious from FIG. 2, gripping means is provided according to the invention which extend about the entire periphery of the apertures formed in top panel 1. Furthermore, it is obvious from FIG. 2 that the edges of tab structures 33 and 3k are disposed inside the tabs 17, l8, 25 and 26 in overlapping relationship. Of course the diagonal flexing slits 35 and 36 formed in tab structure 33 and the diagonal flexing depicted for example in FIG. 2.
Reinforcement of the carrier along its sides is also provided according to this invention by virtue of the fact that the reinforcing panels 11 and 15 are secured in flat face contacting relationship to the side walls 5 an 8 respectively.
From the description above it is apparent that the carrier of this invention is sturdy and durable and that it affords a secure and positive bottle gripping action which is particularly well suited for large heavy bottles or other flanged items to be packaged .
While the arrangement described above and shown in the drawings is the preferred embodiment, it is apparent that the bottom wall could be eliminated if desired, and the carrier could comprise a top wall having tab structure and a lower wall spaced therebelow in which tab structure is formed in alignment with the top wall tab structure .
The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:
