Description

発明の背景
本発明は、ボトルのような物品を複数まとめて固定するために用いられる物品キャリアに関する。特に、本発明は、物品の頂部に取り付けて物品を整列状態に固定する頂部把持式物品キャリアに関する。サンバースト式と呼ばれる開口を備える頂部把持式キャリアが提供されており、その開口は、ボトルの頂部が開口内を通過できるように開口の縁に沿って環状に配列された一連のタブを有し、このタブは、開口内からボトルが抜けるのを防ぐためにボトルの頂部の下端部や首部のフランジに係合するようになっている。
この形式の頂部把持式キャリアの問題点は、タブに物品を支持するのに十分な厚さが必要なことである。パネルとの接続部では、タブは、折れ易く、強度を失い易い。本発明は、ボトルの首部を支持するタブに加えられる負荷を緩和するために柔軟性をもたせたキャリアを提供することによって、問題の解決を図っている。
従来の技術
US3,387,879に開示されている物品キャリアでは、頂壁、底壁および側壁を有する筒状構造が構成され、頂壁には、中間の折目線と、頂壁に折り曲げ自在に接続された複数の支持タブが設けられている。また、支持タブは、ボトルの重量が支持タブの端縁にかかるように隣接するボトルの首部に向けて内側に偏らされ、キャリアの底部がボトルの首部を受容するために開口させられるとともに、強固に把持する作用を得るために側壁が異なる高さに設定されている。
また、EP317,379（Gervais）には、物品を受容するために表面に設けられた開口と、互いに平行な２つのストリップとを備えたブランクから構成される個々の容器用梱包装置が開示され、ストリップは、折り曲げたときに開口内の切り抜きを持ち上げて形成される舌片を有する２つの短い平行なフラップを形成する。開口内に収容された容器は、容器外側の突出部の下側部にフラップが当接することによって支持される。
発明の概要
本発明の一つの特徴によれば、ボトルのような少なくとも一つの物品を固定するための物品キャリアが提供され、このキャリアは、主パネルの両端縁間に延在する第１折目線を有する主パネルと、物品を受容するための少なくとも一つの開口とを備えることを特徴とする。開口は、第１折目線を中断するように第１折目線にまたがって配置される。第１把持タブは、主パネルから切り出され、開口の少なくとも一部を形成する。このタブと主パネルとのヒンジ結合手段は、主パネルの通常位置の平面の外側へタブを移動することを可能とし、それにより、物品が開口内に受容されるときに、タブは、物品の一部に係合することができる。ヒンジ結合手段には、主パネルの端縁の一方に向けて互いに散開するように延在する一対の離間した第２および第３折目線が備えられ、それにより、主パネルの通常位置の平面の外側へのタブの移動時に主パネルが第１折目線に沿って折り曲げられる。さらに、ヒンジ結合手段には、タブを主パネルから部分的に分離するように第２および第３折目線間に延在する切込み線が備えられる。その切込み線は、第１折目線が切込み線で中断されるように第１折目線を横断して配置される。
本発明の一つの態様によれば、タブは、中間パネルに折り曲げ自在に接続された一対の端パネルを備えることができる。この端パネルは、それぞれ第２および第３折目線に沿って主パネルに接続され、中間パネルは、切込み線により主パネルから分離されることができる。
本発明の他の態様によれば、キャリアは、主パネルから切り出され、開口の少なくとも一部を形成する第２把持タブを備えることができる。この第２把持タブは、第１把持タブと対向位置で主パネルに折り曲げ自在に接続されることができる。
本発明のさらに他の態様によれば、キャリアは、主パネルの両側縁にそれぞれに折り曲げ自在に接続された一対の側パネルを備えることができ、これら側パネルは、主パネルから上方へ延びている。そのような側パネルを備えた構成において、キャリアは、主パネルがキャリアの底パネルを形成する筒状構成にすることができる。また、そのような側パネルを備えた他の構成において、側パネルは、開口内に受容する物品の上部を支持するために設けられた上端縁を有することができる。好ましくは、各側パネルには、上記主パネルの下方に延在する下部を備えることができる。各側パネルは、物品と上記下部との当接により、それぞれの折り曲げ自在部分を軸にして主パネルに対し回動可能にすることができる。
本発明の他の特徴によれば、ボトルの首部で少なくとも一つのボトルを係合して支持する頂部把持式物品キャリアが提供される。このボトルキャリアは、ボトルを受容するための少なくとも一つの開口を有する主パネルと、主パネルの両側縁のそれぞれに折り曲げ自在に接続される一対の側パネルとを備えることを特徴とする。側パネルは、主パネルの上方の各上端縁に延在し、ボトルが開口内に受容されるときにボトルの首部に側パネルを係合させ支持する。回動手段は、開口内へのボトルの挿入に応じて側パネルの上端縁を互いの方向に回動させ、それにより、上端縁は、ボトルの首部を固く挟持することができる。
本発明のさらに一つの態様によれば、各側パネルは、主パネルの下方へ延在する下部を備えることができ、それにより、開口内への物品の挿入の際に、側パネルの下部は、物品により互いに離間する方向に押し広げられて上端縁を互いに接近する方向に回動させることができる。この構成において、回動手段は、側パネルの下部により構成されている。各側パネルは、主パネルの側縁のそれぞれに折り曲げ自在に接続された中間ストリップと、中間ストリップに面接触状態に接着された支持ストリップとを設けることができる。好ましくは、中間ストリップは、主パネルから上方へ向けて上端縁まで延在し、一方、支持ストリップは、主パネルの上方に向けて延在する部分と主パネルの下方に向けて延在する部分を備える。
本発明のさらなる特徴によれば、一対の取っ手タブを形成する頂パネルを備えた物品キャリアが提供される。取っ手タブは、頂パネル上に一対の離間した指開口を形成するために頂パネルから切り出される。この取っ手タブは、ほぼ平行な第１折目線に沿って頂パネルに接続される。この頂パネルは、第１折目線間に延在する少なくとも一つの第２折目線を備え、それにより、キャリアが指開口によって持ち上げられるときに、頂パネルの第１折目線間の部分は、第２折目線で上方に折り曲げられる。
本発明の一つの態様によれば、第１折目線は、頂パネルの両側縁を横断して延在し、一方、第２折目線は、頂パネルの側縁にほぼ平行に延在する。

好適な実施例の詳細な説明
図１には、頂部把持式キャリアを形成するためのキャリアブランク10が示され、これはボール紙やそれに類する折り曲げ自在なシート材で構成されている。ブランク10は、順次折り曲げ自在に接続された一連のパネルにより構成されている。端パネル12は、折目線24に沿って側パネル14に折り曲げ自在に接続され、側パネル14は、折目線26により頂パネル16に接続されている。これにより、パネル14,16は、互いにほぼ直交して配置される。頂パネル16は、折目線28に沿って側パネル18に接続されており、キャリアの組立て状態において、側パネル14と側パネル18が相対向する一対の側面を形成するように、パネル16,18は、互いにほぼ直交して配置される。側パネル18は、折目線30により主パネル20に接続されており、頂パネル16と主パネル20が相対向する上下一対の面を形成するように、パネル18,20は、互いに直交して配置される。上記主パネル20には、折目線34により補強パネル22が接続されており、主パネル20と補強パネル22は、互いにほぼ直交して配置され、補強パネル22と側パネル14は、キャリアが組立てられたときに、互いに重なり合って配置される。
図１に示すように、主パネル20には、一列に並んだ３つの八角形状のタブ開口44が形成され、タブ開口44の両端部には、折り曲げ自在な把持タブ40が設けられている。各把持タブ40には、それぞれ折目線56,58に沿って順次接続された３つのパネル50,52,54が設けられている。端パネル50,54は、それぞれ折目線60,62に沿って主パネル20に接続され、一方、中間パネル52は、切込み線64により、主パネル20から分離されている。主パネル20は、その両端縁間に延在するとともに中間部が中断された折目線32を有し、この折目線32は、それぞれのタブ40の中間パネル52と一線上に並んで位置している。組立て状態においては、パネル50,52,54は、折目線56,58に沿って折り曲げられて上記平面外に移動させられ、折目線32と共働して、主パネル20を折り曲げる。八角形状をなす３つのタブ開口44の中央の一つは、相対向する位置に配置された二つのフラップ42を有している。
取っ手Ｈは、頂パネル16に沿って形成され、この頂パネル16には、相対向する位置に配置された一対の半円状の取っ手タブ38が設けられている。取っ手タブ38は、頂パネル16から切り出され、折目線36を介して互いに離間している。キャリアは、各取っ手タブ38を折り曲げることによって持ち運ばれる。すなわち、取っ手タブ38が筒状キャリアの内部へ折り曲げられることにより、頂パネル16上に一対の指の開口が形成される。取っ手タブ38は、ほぼ平行な折目線74,76に沿って頂パネル16に接続されている。折目線36は、頂パネル16の両側縁にほぼ平行に配置され、折目線74,76間に延在している。頂パネル16の折目線74,76間の部分は、キャリアが指開口によって持ち上げられたとき、折目線36で上方に折り曲げられる。折目線36は、指開口部分に作用する応力を緩和するように機能し、それにより、取っ手が補強されている。
図２には、ほぼ組み立てられた状態のキャリアが示されている。この構成は、全てのパネルを次々と折り曲げてパネル22をパネル14に重ね合わせ、筒状構造を形成することにより組み立てられる。この場合、パネル14,16は、折目線26に沿って直角に折り曲げられ、パネル16,18、18,20、20,22は、それぞれ折目線28,30,34に沿って直角に折り曲げられている。キャリアは、側パネル14,22どうしを重ね合わせて接着剤や他の適切な手段により接続することによって、図２に示された箱状体を保持している。
図３に示すように、物品は、開口44内を通過して挿入され、これにより、把持タブ40がその通常位置の平面の外側へ移動し、把持タブ40の端縁が物品の半径方向突出部分に当接する。タブ40が移動させられるときに、主パネル20は折目線32に沿って折り曲げられ、開口44を最大に広げられるようにする。また、タブ40がボトルの首部に係合するときに、応力緩和用の切込み線64により高められた主パネル20の柔軟性が把持タブ40によるボトルの支持を補助する。
図４は頂部把持式キャリアを形成するキャリアブランク110を示すものであり、ボール紙やそれに類する折り曲げ自在のシート材により作製された本発明の他の実施例である。このブランク110は、折目線130に沿って中間ストリップ114に折り曲げ自在に接続された支持ストリップ112を設けており、ストリップ112,114は、互いに重ね合わされる。中間ストリップ114は、折目線132に沿って主パネル116に折り曲げ自在に接続されており、ストリップ112,114はブランク110の面の外側へ折り曲げられる。主パネル116は、折目線136に沿って中間ストリップ118にも折り曲げ自在に接続されている。支持ストリップ120は、折目線138に沿って中間ストリップ118に折り曲げ自在に接続されており、ストリップ118,120は、互いに重ね合われる。折目線136は、ストリップ118,120をそれらの通常位置の平面から外側へ折り曲げ可能にしている。
図４に示すように、主パネル116には、一列に並んだ３つの六角形状のタブ開口144が形成され、この開口144の両端部には、把持タブ140が設けられている。各把持タブ140には、それぞれ折目線156,158に沿って順次接続された３つのパネル150,152,154が設けられている。端パネル150,154は、それぞれ折目線160,162に沿って主パネル116に接続され、一方、切込み線164により、中間パネル152が主パネル116から分離されている。主パネル116は、その両端縁間に延在するとともに中間部が中断された折目線134を備え、それぞれのタブ140の中間パネル152と同一線上に並んで位置している。組立て状態においては、パネル150,152,154は、折目線156,158に沿って折り曲げられて上記平面外に移動させられ、折目線134と共働して、主パネル116を折り曲げる。
取っ手は、支持ストリップ120に沿って形成され、この支持ストリップ120には、相対向する位置に配置された一対のタブ166が設けられている。キャリアは、各タブ166を内側に折り曲げることによって持ち運ばれる。
折目線130に沿ってストリップ112,114を互いに重なり合うように折り曲げ、折目線138に沿ってストリップ118,120を互いに重なり合うように折り曲げることによってキャリアが組み立てられる。ストリップ112,114は、接着剤や他の適切な手段によって互いに面接触状態に固定され、これにより、一枚の側パネルを形成する。同様に、ストリップ120,118は、もう一枚の側パネルを形成するために互いに面接触状態に固定される。これらの一対の側パネルは、主パネル116とほぼ直交して配置されるように、折目線132,136に沿って折り曲げられる。
上記キャリアによって物品Ａを固定するため、物品Ａは、開口144内を通過して挿入される。挿入された物品Ａによりストリップ112,120の下部が外方に押しやられ、ストリップ112,120の下部間の隙間G1が広げられる。その結果、ストリップ112,120の上部間の隙間G2が狭められ、それにより、図５に示すように物品Ａを半径方向突出部を支持する上端縁250,252が物品Ａに強く押し付けられる。物品Ａの挿入により、タブ140がその通常位置の平面の外側へ移動し、タブ140の端縁が物品の半径方向突出部に当接する。タブ140がその平面外に移動することによって、主パネル116は折目線134に沿って曲げられ、開口144が最大限に広げられる。タブ140がボトルの首部のフランジのような半径方向突出部と係合するときに、応力緩和用の切込み線164により高められた主パネル116の柔軟性がタブ140によるボトルの支持を補助する。
本発明およびその好適な実施例は、多少の柔軟性を持ちながらボトルを強固に把持するための十分な剛性を有するように形成されたボトルキャリアに関するもので、これにより、開口タブに加えられた負荷を上記キャリアによってより良く吸収することができるようになっている。ブランクの形状は、必要となるボール紙の量を最小とすることを可能にする。このキャリアは、手作業または自動機によりボトルに装着することができる。本発明は、頂部把持式のキャリアに限らず、様々なキャリアに応用することができる。 Background of the invention The present invention relates to an article carrier used to secure a plurality of articles such as bottles together.

Each grip tab 40 is provided with three panels 50, 52, and 54 that are sequentially connected along the crease lines 56 and 58, respectively. The end panels 50, 54 are connected to the main panel 20 along fold lines 60, 62, respectively, while the intermediate panel 52 is separated from the main panel 20 by a score line 64. The main panel 20 has a crease line 32 extending between both end edges and interrupted at an intermediate portion, and the crease line 32 is positioned in line with the intermediate panel 52 of each tab 40. Yes. In the assembled state, the panels 50, 52, and 54 are bent along the crease lines 56 and 58 and moved out of the plane, and the main panel 20 is bent together with the crease line 32. One of the center of the three tab openings 44 having an octagonal shape has two flaps 42 arranged at opposite positions.
The handle H is formed along the top panel 16, and the top panel 16 is provided with a pair of semicircular handle tabs 38 arranged at opposing positions. The handle tabs 38 are cut from the top panel 16 and are separated from each other via the crease line 36. The carrier is carried by folding each handle tab 38. That is, the handle tab 38 is bent into the cylindrical carrier, whereby a pair of finger openings are formed on the top panel 16. The handle tab 38 is connected to the top panel 16 along substantially parallel crease lines 74,76. The crease line 36 is disposed substantially parallel to both side edges of the top panel 16 and extends between the crease lines 74 and 76. The portion of the top panel 16 between the crease lines 74, 76 is folded upward at the crease line 36 when the carrier is lifted by the finger opening. The crease line 36 functions to relieve the stress acting on the finger opening portion, thereby reinforcing the handle.
FIG. 2 shows the carrier in a substantially assembled state. This configuration is assembled by bending all the panels one after another and overlaying the panel 22 on the panel 14 to form a cylindrical structure. In this case, the panels 14, 16 are folded at right angles along the crease line 26, and the panels 16, 18, 18, 20, 20, 22 are folded at right angles along the crease lines 28, 30, 34, respectively. Yes. The carrier holds the box-like body shown in FIG. 2 by overlapping the side panels 14 and 22 and connecting them by an adhesive or other appropriate means.
As shown in FIG. 3, the article is inserted through opening 44, which causes grip tab 40 to move out of its normal plane and the edges of grip tab 40 project radially from the article. Abuts the part. When the tab 40 is moved, the main panel 20 is folded along the crease line 32 so that the opening 44 is maximally widened. Further, when the tab 40 is engaged with the neck portion of the bottle, the flexibility of the main panel 20 enhanced by the stress relaxation cut line 64 assists the holding tab 40 in supporting the bottle.
FIG. 4 shows a carrier blank 110 forming a top gripping carrier, which is another embodiment of the present invention made of cardboard or similar foldable sheet material. The blank 110 is provided with a support strip 112 foldably connected to the intermediate strip 114 along the crease line 130, and the strips 112, 114 are overlapped with each other. The intermediate strip 114 is foldably connected to the main panel 116 along the crease line 132, and the strips 112 and 114 are bent to the outside of the surface of the blank 110. The main panel 116 is also foldably connected to the intermediate strip 118 along the fold line 136. The support strip 120 is foldably connected to the intermediate strip 118 along the crease line 138, and the strips 118, 120 overlap each other. The crease line 136 allows the strips 118, 120 to be folded outward from their normal plane.
As shown in FIG. 4, the main panel 116 is formed with three hexagonal tab openings 144 arranged in a line, and grip tabs 140 are provided at both ends of the opening 144. Each grip tab 140 is provided with three panels 150, 152, and 154 that are sequentially connected along the crease lines 156 and 158, respectively. End panels 150 and 154 are connected to main panel 116 along crease lines 160 and 162, respectively, while intermediate panel 152 is separated from main panel 116 by a cut line 164. The main panel 116 includes a crease line 134 that extends between both ends of the main panel 116 and is interrupted at an intermediate portion, and is located on the same line as the intermediate panel 152 of each tab 140. In the assembled state, the panels 150, 152, and 154 are bent along the crease lines 156 and 158 and moved out of the plane, and cooperate with the crease line 134 to fold the main panel 116.
The handle is formed along the support strip 120, and the support strip 120 is provided with a pair of tabs 166 arranged at opposite positions. The carrier is carried by folding each tab 166 inward.
The carrier is assembled by folding the strips 112, 114 along the fold line 130 so as to overlap each other, and folding the strips 118, 120 along the fold line 138 so as to overlap each other. The strips 112, 114 are secured in surface contact with each other by adhesive or other suitable means, thereby forming a single side panel. Similarly, the strips 120, 118 are secured to each other in surface contact to form another side panel. The pair of side panels are bent along the fold lines 132 and 136 so as to be disposed substantially orthogonal to the main panel 116.
In order to fix the article A by the carrier, the article A is inserted through the opening 144. The lower part of the strips 112 and 120 is pushed outward by the inserted article A, and the gap G1 between the lower parts of the strips 112 and 120 is widened. As a result, the gap G2 between the upper portions of the strips 112 and 120 is narrowed, and as a result, the upper edges 250 and 252 that support the article A in the radial direction are strongly pressed against the article A as shown in FIG. Insertion of article A causes tab 140 to move out of its normal plane and the edge of tab 140 abuts the radial protrusion of the article. As the tab 140 moves out of its plane, the main panel 116 is bent along the crease line 134 and the opening 144 is maximized. When the tab 140 engages a radial protrusion, such as a flange on the neck of the bottle, the flexibility of the main panel 116 enhanced by the stress relief cut line 164 assists in supporting the bottle by the tab 140.
The present invention and its preferred embodiments relate to a bottle carrier formed with sufficient rigidity to hold the bottle firmly with some flexibility, thereby being added to the opening tab The load can be better absorbed by the carrier. The blank shape makes it possible to minimize the amount of cardboard required. The carrier can be attached to the bottle manually or by an automated machine. The present invention can be applied not only to the top gripping type carrier but also to various carriers.
