Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a carton, and more particularly to a carton having a reinforced handle structure capable of enhancing both strength and appearance of the carton.

[0002]

[Prior Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

A handle is convenient as a means of carrying a carton. A problem with cartons made of flexible material from which the handle is formed in the panel is that there is usually a considerable concentration of stress on the handle itself or an unwanted portion of the panel to which the handle is attached. Thus, it will be appreciated that it is desirable for a carton made of such a flexible material to have a handle structure that does not exert significant forces on unwanted portions of the handle or the panel to which it is attached.

It is often desirable to have a carton that has a wall that maximizes its appearance to potential consumers of the carton-formed package. Therefore, it is preferable to use a carton that has a handle structure that functions in a carton wall or a carton panel that has an excellent appearance.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a handle structure for a carton is formed in a panel having opposite edges and opposite edges which intersect each other to form each corner of the handle panel and the handle structure. A strap member is integrally connected to the handle panel and extends between the both edges. Both edges of the strap are substantially separated from the handle panel. The strap member has a substantially centrally located area in which the strap edge central portions of both strap edges are located substantially parallel to and between the side edges. There is. Partial separation lines are formed near each corner of the handle panel. The parting line extends from a first end point adjacent to each corresponding corner to a second end point adjacent to a centrally located region of the strap member, which causes the handle panel to When a force is applied to the central region that is substantially normal to the plane in which it resides, the strap member will flex substantially outwardly of the plane from a biased position in proximity to the plane.

Other advantages and objects of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description, the accompanying drawings, and the claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Throughout the drawings, the same or similar components according to the present invention are denoted by the same reference numerals.

For ease of understanding, it is preferable to refer to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 at the same time. Figure 1
2 and FIG. 2 show a carton having a handle structure according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 shows a blank 12 for forming the carton shown in FIGS.
Is shown.

FIG. 2 illustrates a carton 10 having a handle structure according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
In contrast, a plurality of cans C are stored in the intersecting direction. Also, this figure 2
Shows that the top wall of the carton 10 having a handle structure bends upward in an arcuate shape when subjected to a force F for pulling up the strap member 14.

Surrounding the handle structure of the present invention is a carton 10 forming an enclosure from a series of panels connected together. FIG. 3 shows the connected main panels 20, 2
2, 24, 26, and 28 are most clearly shown. The panels 20 and 28 at both ends of these main panels are connected to form a tubular structure.

The panels 20, 28 on either end of the blank 12 described above form the top wall or panel of the carton 12 including the handle structure. For simplification of description, each part of the top panels 20 and 28 will be described below for each section. Each half panel has strap members 46,44. These strap members have tapered regions 30, 38 located in the middle of the end regions. The rest of these half panels 4
0,42 are located on the side edges of the top panel. Flap 8 on both edges of this top panel
0 is adjacent. Each of these flaps forms at least a portion of the end wall of the carton when the blank is assembled into a carton.

With the carton 10 assembled, the strap members 46, 44 are
Are overlapped with each other so as to overlap each other by a predetermined size.
8 are overlapped so that they completely overlap, thereby forming a substantially reinforced handle. At each end of these strap members 46,44, a web extends diagonally from the side edges and apex of the edges of the top panel.

These elongated webs 54 have perforation lines 5 extending diagonally from the apex described above.
7 and a crease line 56 formed between the perforation line 57 and the edge of the top panel 20, 28. The effect of the present invention is enhanced by the intersection of the fold line 56 and the perforation line 57.

A connecting member 70 connects the strap members 46, 44 to the areas 42, 40 of the top panel adjacent the strap members 46, 44.
Due to the continuity of the edge 72 of the strap members 46, 44 (shown as a cut line in the bran 12) and the fold line 56 of the elongated web, the stress created in the end region of the handle structure. Will be more evenly transmitted to both ends and the carton of the handle structure. Moreover, the operation of the handle structure is further enhanced because the edge 72 terminates at the connection tab 70.

An intermediate web panel 50 may be provided in the end region of the top panel that is continuous with the end region of the handle structure. The web panel is defined by a fold line 58 that follows a curve or arc. This crease line 58 is the blank 1 illustrated here.
In case 2, it is continuous with the perforation line 57 of the elongated web of the handle structure. The bottom panel opposite the top panel may also be provided with a pair of intermediate web panels 60.

The strap members 44, 46 provide a handle that directs stress towards the ends of the carton. Due to the characteristic construction of the handle described above, when the carton 10 is pulled in the direction indicated by F, the strap members 44, 46 and other elements that make up the top panel of the carton are bent into a predetermined shape so that they are convex outward. , Or curved. Due to the structure of the elongated web 54, when the carton is pulled up by applying a force in the direction shown in FIG. 2, the top panels 20 and 28 have a stepped shape such that they are curved and concave and are inclined upward toward the inside. The taper strap member 3
The 0,38 provides a convenient and reliable handle. The strap member 46,
44 and the adjacent top panel region are joined by the connecting tab 70. By this joining, the top panels 20 and 28 can maintain a continuous state without being separated from each other even when the carton is suspended. The side regions 42, 40 of the top panel tend to flex away from the strap member. The connection tabs prevent such movement, thereby maintaining the appearance of this top panel and enhancing its solid integrity.

When a can C or similar article is stowed in a direction that intersects the longitudinal direction of the carton and top panel as shown in FIG. 2, each corner of the carton 10 has its intermediate web panel 50, It will be pulled tighter by 60.

A feature of the present invention provides a reinforced handle that, when suspended, transfers stress to the carton end away from the handle itself while maintaining the aesthetics and stronger integrity of the carton. It

4 and 5, a carton having a handle structure according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. In these FIGS. 4 and 5, elements corresponding to the elements shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and similar to those of the preferred embodiment of the present invention described above are denoted by reference numerals 100 Shall be used. For example, the panel 24 in the first embodiment is shown at 124 in this second embodiment.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a first corner web 200 is formed at each corner of the top wall. The handle structure includes a perforation line 190 (herein “perforation” includes alternating cuts and alternating engraved portions) and the top wall or corner of the top panel to the end of the strap member 144. And a first corner fold line 191 extending toward the edge. For ease of explanation, in the present embodiment, various “webs” will be referred to as “gussets” below.
Alternatively, it may be referred to as "pleats". The perforation line 190
Intersects the apex at which the side edges and the edge edges of the top wall intersect each other. The first corner fold line 191 is located between the perforation line 190 and a side edge of the top wall. Another web or gusset is formed by the second corner fold line 192 provided adjacent to the first corner fold line. A cutting line 193 extending diagonally at each corner of the side walls 122 and 126 adjacent to the top wall.
Are formed. These cutting lines 193 are located on an extension of the first corner fold line 191.

The orientation of the cutting line 172 that defines the edges of both ends of the strap member can be set in various ways. Most preferably.

A tab 170 that functions as a gusset (web / pleats) for the handle is formed by the tab fold lines 194,195. The relative directions of these tab fold lines can be specified in various ways, but in this embodiment, they are made non-parallel. One tab fold line 195 is toward the opening for the handhole. Each tab 170 further includes a cutting line 17 that defines the edge of the strap member.
2 and 196.

Referring to FIG. 5, due to the characteristic arrangement of the members constituting the handle structure according to the second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 4 and described above, the top wall of the carton is transformed into a controlled state. However, the stress is dispersed in a predetermined form. Referring again to FIG. 4, each cut line 172, 196 separating the strap member from the rest of the top wall and the tab 170, respectively, is interrupted at the connecting member that serves to connect the members. When the strap members are pulled up in the F direction, the connecting members cause the strap member 144 and the tab 170 to separate from each other and from the top wall as expected. This causes the strap member to curve outward and also the gussets 200, 202.
, And 204 are arranged at an angle to each other. First gusset 2
Most preferably, 00 is inside the strap member which is bowed outward. The carton is deformed by the pulling force applied to the carton, whereby the oblique cutting line and the first fold line are integrated. This deformation then causes the first gusset 200 to extend beyond the edge of the side wall of the carton.
Due to the arrangement of the members described above, stress is transmitted to each corner of the carton.
Also, when articles such as cans C are lined up in this carton, the cans stored in the corners of the carton close to the first gusset function as "beams" or braces. Becomes

In the best mode, when the strap member is pulled up, the strap member 144
And the set of connections that connect the tabs 170 breaks ahead of the set of connections that connect the strap member adjacent the tabs 170 and the rest of the top wall.

The main members of the handle structure of the present invention are the handle panels 44/46 and 144 /
The strap members 30/38 and 130/138 separated from 146 and the partial separation lines 72 and 172 in this part of the description. Each partial separation line extends between a first point proximate a corner of the handle panel and a second point proximate a central region of the strap member. This configuration creates a spring-like relationship between the strap member and the handle panel, so that the central region of the strap handle is oriented substantially perpendicular to the (conceptual) plane in which the handle panel resides. When a force F is applied to the strap member, the strap member is deflected from the biased position close to the surface to the outside of the surface as shown in FIGS. The construction of the members just described essentially forms a web, including pleats 70 and 170 that join the end regions of the strap members with the rest of the handle panel. The stress due to the weight of the carton (and the offset force for lifting and suspending the carton) causes the carton corners, edges from the ends of the strap member, rather than the undesired areas of the handle panel and the central region of the strap member, which tend to break. Concentrated on the wall and adjacent sidewalls.

The parting lines described above can be in several optimal arrangements, for example parallel to the side edges of the handle panel and such that the parting lines extend towards both edges of the handle panel. Can be branched from the side panel. In a carton for packaging a cylindrical article such as a can C, the end point of the partial separation line closest to the corner is a tangent line T at which the can located at the end of the line of the packaged cans contacts the handle panel. Most preferably at or at a point close to the tangent T.

Flexible members, ie connecting members 74, 76; 174, 176, are arranged to bridge the web containing the pleats 70 and 170 and the strap member and bridge the partial separation lines 72 and 172. Most preferably. Then, when a force is applied to the center of the strap member in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the (conceptual) plane on which the handle panel is located, the strap member is positioned closest to the center of the strap member. The outward bending that occurs first proceeds continuously toward both ends in a harmonious manner.

The gussets 54 and 200 described above have the functions already described. These gussets extend between the end points closest to the corner and the corner itself. These gussets can be formed by a pair of fold lines, a pair of perforation lines, or a combination of non-coincident fold and perforation line pairs.
The embodiments described above can be modified without departing from the technical scope and spirit of the present invention.
