[Detailed Description of Utility Model]

1, a blank blank for manufacturing a paper box, that is, a blank 10 for forming a paper box including a handle fixture of the present invention, is folded along side panels 12 and 14 connected to each other along a fold line 16. It consists of a side panel 18 connected to the panel 14 by a line 20 and a side panel 22 connected to the panel 18 by a fold line 24.

The foldable connection to the side panel 22 is an adhesive lid 29 which is secured to the inner surface of the side panel 12 adjacent its end 28 after the side panels are folded along their access lines. All panels intended to be upright panels of paper boxes are referred to as side panels, and are not limited to which of them are front or back panels.

The actual panels 14 and 22 are preferably front or rear panels because they are wider than panels 12 and 18 as shown, but this is a matter of the manufacturer's choice of the product to be packaged in a paper box.

The panel 14 is shown with a tear open closure 30 adapted to be folded down against the fold line 32 so that the consumer can pull out the contents of the package.

It is always desirable to have a torn opening to maintain the top panel structure of the sealed paper box and to facilitate the removal of the contents, but the feature is not essential and should be removed as long as it does not adversely affect the performance of the present invention. It should be noted.

The bottom dust flaps 34 and 36 are connected to the side panels 12 and 18 by fold lines 38 and 40, respectively.

The inner bottom panel 42, which is connected to the panel 14 by the fold line 44, is adapted to fold over the dust flaps after the dust flaps are folded towards each other.

Similarly, the outer bottom panel 46, which is connected to the panel 22 by the fold line 48, is folded over the dust flaps 34 and 36 to overlap the inner bottom panel 42.

The inner and outer bottom flaps are attached to the dust flap and the ends of the outer bottom panel 46 are glue strips positioned along the ends of the inner bottom panel 42 to hold the bottom panel structure in place. 50).

In the same way, the upper dust flaps 52 and 54 are connected to the side panels 12 and 18 by fold lines 56 and under 58, respectively.

The outer side panel 60 is connected to the side panel 14 by a fold line 62 and the inner side panel 64 is connected to the side panel 22 by a fold line 66.

The inner side panel 64 carries a handle flap 68 and the outer side panel 60 carries a flap 70, and these feature arrangements are described in detail later.

Also shown are the cut lines 72 and 74 and the cut lines 76 of the inner cut panel 64 of the outer chief panel 60 and their functions will be described later.

After the bottom panel structure of the paper box is formed in the above-described manner and before the top panel structure is formed, as shown in FIG. 2, the paper boxes C are dust flaps 52 and 54, the outer side of which is to be folded. The government panel 60 and the inner government panel 64 is formed.

In order to complete the formation of the paper box, the dust flaps 52 and 54 are folded down as shown in FIG. 3A.

The inner government panel 64 is folded down to attach to the dust flap as shown in FIG. 3B, and the outer government panel 60 is folded down to show the dust flap and inner government panel as shown in FIG. 3C. To the overlapping ends of (64).

4, the paper box of FIG. 3C is shown in a complete state, and the flat top panel structure of the paper box is illustrated.

As shown in FIG. 3A, the dust flaps 52 and 54 are slightly wider in the area covered by the inner government panel 64 so that the ends 80 of the dust flaps are relatively close to each other in this area.

The dust flap has a relatively narrow area covered by the outer government panel 60 and the end flap 82 of the dust flap is quite far from this area.

End 80 is connected to end 82 by a short end or shoulder 83, the purpose of which will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 3C, the notch 72 of the outer government panel 60 can be seen to extend from the handle flap 70 to the nearest corner of the paper box and the notch 76 of the inner government panel is a paper box. You can see that they extend to their nearest corner.

In FIG. 5, which is an enlarged view of the central portion of the paper box structure shown in FIG. 3B, the flap 68 is attached to the contralateral government panel 64 along the fold line 84, which is a skip-cut line. cut line).

The glass end 86 of the flap is connected to the fold line 84 by the slit 88 so that the flap 68 can be freely folded down relative to the fold line 84.

The slit 88 is a continuous portion of the end 90 formed by the recess in which the flap 68 is located and the glass end 92 of the inner side panel 64.

End 90 and slit 88 are stepped slightly inward from end 82 of dust flap 52 and 54 such that flap 98 pivots downward against its fold line 84. ) Will not interfere.

The end of the dust flap covered by the overlapping inner side panel 64 is indicated by a dotted line.

Incidentally, the notch 76 is shown extending from the tip of the fold line 84 toward the corner of the paper box.

FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of the central portion of the paper box structure shown in FIG. 3C, wherein the outer side panel 60 is shown to overlap the portion of the dust flap and the glass end portion of the inner side panel 64. FIG.

The end 82 of the dust flap, the end 90, 92 of the inner side panel 64 and the end 86 of the inner side panel flap 68 and the fold line 84 are covered by the outer side panel. Shown in dashed lines to illustrate the relationship of the elements.

The outer panel flap 70, which is spaced inward from the glass end of the outer panel 60 and separated from the glass end by a boundary or strip of the outer panel, is attached to the panel along the notch 64. Connected.

The glass end 96 of the flap 70 overlaps the inner government panel and it is shown that a paperboard 98 is attached to the outer government panel by a narrow piece that can easily rupture or tear when the flap is pressed down.

A piece of cardboard that holds the flap at the same position as the surface of the outer government panel prior to the handle used may also be provided along the transverse end 100 connecting the glass end 96 and the notch 94 of the flap.

The outer part of the panel portion adjacent to the transverse end portion 100 has three layers of paperboard in the area of the upper panel structure adjacent to the side of the handle opening covered by the flap 70.

The glass end of the flap 70 is centered so that it lies approximately in the middle between the side panels 14 and 22.

In this arrangement, the user's hand lifts the paper box from the center of the top panel structure, giving a balanced load.

The notch 94 is arcuate in shape so that the flap width is thicker in the middle between the transverses 100 than at the tip of the notch 94.

This non-linear notch facility acts to bias the flap 70 upward so that the flap 70 is folded down relative to the notch 94 and then returned to its original position.

It should be understood that the flap 70 is not designed to be folded down in the manner of the flap 68 as would occur if the user hand was inserted from the opposite direction.

In such a case, the non-linear notch arrangement tends to rupture the fibers of the cardboard adjacent to the end of the arcuate notch 94, thus reducing the bias and somehow biasing the flap 70 back to its original position. Will be prevented.

6 shows that the notch 72 extends from the end of the notch 94 towards the corner of the paper box and the notch 74 extends away from the tip of the glass end 96. Is shown.

The notch 74 overlaps the notch 76 of the inner government panel 64 and is positioned to form its structure after the inner and outer government panels have been secured to each other and to the dust flap.

In FIG. 7A, the outer side panel 60 is shown with a glass end 96 of the flap 70 overlapping the flap 68 of the inner side panel 64.

The dust flap 54 lies just below both the inner and outer government panels and because of its flexibility, the outer government panels are slightly higher than the inner government panels, but adhere to the lower surfaces of both panels.

The show rater 83 of the dust flap 54 is shown positioned slightly below the fold line 84 of the inner side panel flap 68 to fold the flap down.

The contents of the paper box in the figures are intended to indicate diapers or other dry goods, denoted by reference numeral (D).

As shown in Fig. 7b, when a person who wants to lift a paper box with a handle presses the flap 70 down, a narrow piece of cardboard, which normally holds the flap in its same position, is torn and the flap It is free to turn freely with respect to Kim Sun 94.

During rotation, the glass end of the flap 70 is pressed down against the inner side panel flap 68 pivoting down about its fold line 84.

As shown in FIG. 7C, when the user presses down continuously with the user's finger, the flap 68 is folded against the dust flap shoulder 83 so that the finger can be lifted up and the upper panel structure has three layers. Will be held.

As the finger is moved under the top panel structure, the back of the finger pushes the flap 70 such that the flap 70 pivots down relative to its indentation 94.

In this position the flap 70 does not interfere with the rise of the paper box.

8 shows a paper box being lifted.

Since the top panel structure is flexible, it is lifted up in the flat state shown in FIG.

In order to alleviate the upward stress to tear the top panel structure around the handle opening, notches 72, 74, and 76 serve to strengthen the structure and distribute the stress towards the corners of the paper box.

The upper panel structure is thus lifted to the top with a more flexible bending action during the ascending phase.

Notches 72, 74, 76 extend all the way to the corner of the government panel of the paper box for the most effective distribution of stress, but the notches can terminate short of the corners, which also causes stress at the handle opening when raised. It can act to distribute upward stress in such a way as to relieve the pressure and flex it upwards.

When the paper box is placed underneath and the hand is removed from the handle opening, the inner finger panel flap 68 can sometimes be dragged back to its extended position. This occurs before the back of the finger is completely removed from the outer panel flap 70 and is biased back toward its main position by an arcuate fold line 94 only after the outer panel flap inner panel flap is moved again.

This results in the flap arrangement illustrated in FIG. 9, which shows the inner government panel flap 68 after being pushed slightly beyond its original position by a spring-like restoring force of the outer government panel flap 70. have.

In this relationship, the combination of the two flaps covering the handle opening due to the flaps lying about the same height as the top of the paper box gives a clean appearance as new even though the paper box has already been lifted by the handle.

When a person wishes to continue holding the paper box by the handle, he simply pushes the flap 70 down again and only inserts the finger as in the previously described manner so that the flap 68 bends back under the shoulder 82.

A somewhat different flap relationship is illustrated in FIG. 10, showing a state where the inner side panel flap 68 has not returned to its original position.

This occurs when the user's finger is not engaged with the flap 68 when the finger is withdrawn from the handle opening.

In such a case the outer government panel flap 70 is biased by its arcuate fold line to the approximately closed position shown and the inner government panel flap 68 remains inside the paper box. As indicated in the arrangement of FIG. 9, the handle appears to be unused due to the approximately flat state of the flap 70.

The paper box can be lifted back in a manner similar to that previously described by pressing the flap 70 down and moving it out of the way and then twisting the finger again around the flap 68 and the shoulder 63 of the dust flap.

While not essential to the flap's return movement, when the contents of the paper box are tightly wrapped in a diaper or other compressible article, the outer panel flap will assist in its return to its position by the spring restoring force of the article itself. Can be.

As described so far, it is clear that the present invention provides an improved paper box handle that can be lifted by his handle without disturbing the appearance of its unused new appearance.

In addition, paper carton blanks require less cardboard than conventional designs and the packaging process is usually faster due to the extra quality and reduced tape work steps.

In addition, since the handle portion joined by the user's hand is made of three layers of cardboard, the handle is stronger than that used normally.

In addition, in relation to the outer panel flap notches and the tension relief notches in the inner and outer panel, the term "notch" as used herein means the rupture of the surface of the cardboard sheet, whereby one side of the sheet is recessed and the other side is Welt.

It does not mean a partially separated line that weakens any folding action that occurs along the notch.

While preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, it will be apparent that changes to certain specifics of this preferred embodiment may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[Technical Field]

The present invention relates to a carton for packaging an article, and more particularly, to the paper carton with an improved handle arrangement.

[Background]

Paper boxes used to package dry articles such as diapers are equipped with integrally formed handles for easy transportation.

The traditional handle design consists of two wide flaps that extend approximately the length of the paper box, each foldable to the glass tip of one of the two top panels of the paper box.

The flaps extend upwards at right angles to the government panel and are arranged such that their adjacent surfaces contact each other.

Aligning the openings in the flap creates a handle opening that allows the buyer's hand to extend through the paper box when carrying it.

To facilitate shipment the paper boxes are packed with handle flaps that fold down against one of their top panels.

The flap is held in this position by painting a small amount of adhesive.

Because of the tendency of the flaps to be in their upright position they are also kept in their flat state by attachment tapes extending down the base of the best flap and beyond the upper position of the side panels.

This facility is expensive to use adhesive tape and packaging is time consuming because of applying hot melt adhesive to the handle flap.

Once the handle is raised up and used it will not be able to return to its flat state, as well as giving the folded or crumpled appearance that the paper box is already open or in some cases looks coarse, so that the paper box is unwound and the shelf It is expected to be put on.

Thus, paper boxes are not a catchy choice for buyers.

There is no convenient way to lift some of the first few seeds except by their handles when removing the paper box from the shipping box.

Paper boxes are tied together so tightly that human fingers grasp the sides of the paper box so that they cannot easily be pulled between them to lift it.

Even when paper boxes are poured from shipping boxes, they are sometimes lifted only by their handles during the shelving process.

Storage managers tend to handle paper boxes in this way more easily when stocking and stocking larger paper boxes, but even smaller paper boxes are often handled in this way.

When used it is appropriate to provide a paper box handle that can be used by the storage manager without imparting an inappropriate appearance to the paper box.

It would also be desirable to provide a paper box with a more integral one-piece handle that is less expensive than currently used types.

[Initiation of draft]

The present invention provides a handle flap foldable to an inner top panel of a paper box and another flap foldable to an outer top panel.

The glass end of the outer government panel flap overlaps the inner government panel flap so that when the user's finger presses the outer government panel flap down, both the outer government flap and the inner government panel flap are turned downward.

The inner government panel flap is folded down by the user's finger and the outer government panel flap is pivoted down by the user's finger or the like.

Means are provided so that the outer government panel flap is biased toward its original position so that when the user's hand is withdrawn, the handle opening is closed so that the package is not opened as new.

In addition, a tension relief score line is provided on the upper panel extending from the foldable connecting end of the flap towards the upper corner of the paper box so that when the paper box is lifted by the handle, the top panel structure is placed in the paper box. It is bent upwards and upwards in a flexible and uniform manner such that upward stress is distributed out of the handle.

Other features and concepts of the present invention and several advantages will be apparent from the following detailed description.
