Description

CARRIER BRAZIER WITH ASA FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to fastener carriers of the type that employ folding lenoirs for contact with the underside of the flanges in the necks of the packaged bottles. Particularly, it refers to carriers of this type, which are provided with handles. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Jebide bottles are conventionally formed with a ridge or support projecting outward from the neck. A type d rtador, that has been designed to support these bottle. , it a simple and economical way, employs so tabs. { . e that are spaced along the edges of the bottleneck abutments in a r &g support panel; rtador. When the panel is pushed down on the bo < _the aligned with the openings of the necks, these leng. They pivot upwards, so that their outer edges contact the lower side of the bottle flanges. A handle, in most cases known as finger holes in the support panel, allows the carrier to be grasped and lifted. Although the fingers for fingers work normally ad < (It gives like a handle, most consumers prefer.-those that extend upwards, which can not be in the same way as a handle of a suitcase.) Such a configuration, however, It is substantially more expensive than or holes for the fingers, partly because the carrier has to be lifted and loaded by a packing machine.It would be highly convenient to have a holder bra that could be raised manually and be able to support heavy loads. Therefore, it is an object of the invention to provide a bracket carrier of this type, which, however, retains the similarity and economy of the basic fastener-support tab design Brief Summary of the Invention The invention <lirige a carrier to support bottles, each bottle has a neck portion that includes a flange projecting outward.The carrier is comprised of a top support, which is connected, in the form ple Gaba, to the lower support panel and joins this lower panel: support in a face-to-face relationship. Both support pads contain openings for the neck of the i 'alias on the opposite sides of a central line of J carrier. Support tabs, designed for contact with the bottom side of the bottle ledges, are connected to the upper support panel by lines of Ri Lez, which extend along portions of the periphery 1 of each opening of the neck of the bottle. the bottle on the supe- panel? or support. In addition, a handle, extending towards arpb, is connected to one of the support panels, substantially along the centerline of the carrier. In a prime / embodiment, the upper support panel is comprised of partially overlapping fins, and the handle is comprised of adhered handle folds, extending upwardly. from the top flaps of the support panel. In a severe embodiment, the lower support panel is provided with the fins of this lower support panel, which - abuttingly adjoin each other along the cerral line of the carrier, and the handle is comprised of a plie >.; < - handle, which extends upwards from each alet read the lower support panel, through a slit the upper support panel. Additional crimp straps can be added to the handles. The support tabs can also be provided in the bottleneck openings in the lower support panel, in order to further support the bottles. The carrier obtains from a single preform of substantially rectangular configuration, which is economical to produce and can easily be attached to the bottles. The characteristics of the invention, which make it possible to deliver the desired results, are pointed out in more detail in the description of the preferred embodiments, in which the above benefits and other aspects of the invention will be evid • Brief Description of the Drawing The Figure 1 . - an illustrative view of a mode of the carrier of the invention; Figure 2 is a end view of the carrier of Figure 1; Figure 3 is a plan view of a preform for making the portaac? e Figure 1; Figure 4 is a plan view of the preform of Figure 3, shown after the initial steps of bending and gluing have taken place, Figure 5 is an end view, similar to that of the Figure , but showing the handle in the folded condition, Figure 6 is a plan view of a preform for making another modal * of the carrier of the invention, Figure 7 is the end view of the preform of Figure 6. , in an e > • intermediate manufacturing; Figure 8 is an illustrative view of the second embodiment of the bearer of the invention; and Figure 9 is a cross-sectional view of the carrier of Figure 8, t > Figure 9- Detailed Description of the Preferred Modes Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the package 10 is comprised of s rows of three bottles B and one carrier 12 for lifting 1 carrying The bottles. This carrier includes a top support panel 4, comprised of adhered fins, 1 * 18, which overlap, and a lower support panel 20, > 1 which is in face-to-face contact with the alet i-. The upper support panel is connected to the fins i i i the fold lines 21. The openings 22 in the side upper support 14 and the L-aligned openings lower support panel 20, allow the bottle heads to extend through the carrier. Attached to the upper support panel 14 by the fold lines 2 are the support tabs 26 which are spaced around the periphery of the apertures 22 in the necks of the bottles.

The end edges and the support tabs make contact with the bottom edge of the flanges F in the bottles, to support it when the carrier is raised.

Extending up from the top support panel is the handle which, as best shown in Figure 2, is of a three-fold bend. The tongues 30 in the outer folds provide a cushion to the hand when the JS tongs are bent under the handle. This handle extends along the length of the centerline of the carrier, between the rows of bots and can be seen as recessed from the ends of > s fins 16 and 18 of the support panel. A preform 32, for manufacturing the carrier of the Figure 1 is shown in Figure 3, in which reference numbers similar to s used in Figures 1 and 2, denote similar elements i. The preform is preferably obtained from cardboard, pt t can be of any suitable material having sufic i. Attach resistance and flexibility to operate in the cardboard form. This preform 32 is comprised of a section l; 20 of the lower support panel, positioned centrally, ^ the external fins 16 and 18, which correspond to the upper fins of the support panel of the carrier. Six opening. face the necks of the bottles, each defined by alternating the slits 34 and the fold lines 36, are arranged symmetrically around the center line of the support section 20 in two rows of three each. The support tongues 38 are connected to the lower section of s 20 by the fold lines 36 and perform the same function as the tongues 26. The three neck openings of i • them in the support flaps, 16 and 18, which are located in line with the three openings of the necks of the closest bottles in the lower section 20 of the support panel, in a carrier obtained from the preform, and obtained by alternating the halves 39 and lines of ? 24. As with all fastener carriers, the diameter of the openings of the bottles is related to the diameter of the portion of the bottles to be packed, so that 1 flanges on the bottle necks are capable of pass through the openings, while at the same time making contact with the support tabs and pivoting upwards around their fold lines. Pr [? The bottleneck openings in the lower section 20 of the support panel are slightly larger than the openings in the upper fins of the support bar, 16 and 18, to facilitate alignment Similarly, as shown in Figure 3 , the support tabs 38 of the lower section 20 of the support panel > They should be angularly displaced from the sock tabs 26 of the upper fins 16 and 18 of the support panel, so that the tabs in the lower support panel contact the flanges of the bottles in a portion of the circumference of the flange. that do not come in contact with the tabs on the top support panel. In illustrated arrangement, where each bladder neck opening is associated with four support tabs, the support tab 38 is offset from the tabs 26 by 45 c ,? .two. Still making reference to Figure 3, the section 40 of handle reinforcement, C-shaped, connects on its legs 42 to the wing if t > 18 is supported by the fold lines 44. These fold lines 44, which are parallel to the fold lines 21 are spaced inwardly from the outer edge of the a .a. Similarly, the handle section 46, C-shaped, is braced on its legs 48 to the upper support flap 16 by bending lines 50 spaced inwardly. In addition, the se < handle 52, which is essentially the reverse image the handle section 46, is connected to the handle section 46 r the fold line 54. Both handle sections, 46 and J include handle grip tabs 30 , which are connected to the handle sections by fold lines 56, and which extend between the legs of the handle sections. The legs 30 are recessed from the ends of the legs i 'L handle. In the case of the handle section 46, the outer edge of the tongue 30 abuts the outer edge of the alet b of the support panel and is separated therefrom by the slit. To form an acrylic, rubber is applied to the areas of points of the upper fins, 16 and 18, of the support panel, shown in Figure 3, and the fins are pivoted with each other along the bending lines 21, while, at the same time, bending sections of handle, 40 and 46, again in the direction this is along fold lines 44 and 50, respectively. The support flap 18 moves in the first position and adheres to the lower section 20 of the support panel. The support flap 16 is then pivoted in place, i. so as to partially overlap the support flap 18. The support flap 16 is thus adhered to the lower section 20 the support panel and the overlapping portion of the flap or support 18 to form the intermediate structure of the carrier, shown in Figure 4. The handle sections do not fit with the formation of the top fastener support panel. At this point, the fold lines 44 of the sei LO? The reinforcing handle 40 is adjacent to the lines c fold 50 of the handle section 46. The rubber is then applied to the handle sections 40, 46 and 52, as shown in the dotted area in Figure 4, and the reinforcing section) of handle is bent and adhered to handle section 46. This handle action 52 is then bent over and adhered to handle reinforcement portion 40, to complete the handle of three barbs or folds. Preferably, the height of the handle reinforcement section 0 is slightly less than the height of the handle sections 46 and 52, so as not to interfere with the bend. z of the handle section 52. The handle, at this point, may be, in the folded position, adjacent to the upper support panel or in the upright position. To form a nail, the bottles are arranged in two rows of three, without adjusting to the bottle neck openings in. carrier. This carrier is then placed so that the bottleneck openings are aligned. ^ n the necks of the bottles. The connected support panels, upper and lower, are then pushed downwards into the upper parts of the bottles, causing the upper portions of the bottle necks to pass through openings in the support panels, which j -take the support tabs, 38 and 26, upwards in * process. The relative movement between the bottles and the bent reform continues until the flanges F of the bots move up the edges of the tabs, causing them to snap into place, so that 1 upper edges make contact with each other. with the lower side a > the flanges of the bottles.

Bearer training requires only a few simple steps 1 - folded and gummed, after which it can be held in place, as described. It does not need to be adjusted and hung by a machine, thus eliminating the cost of the packing machine. It is structurally healthy and the t-fold handle not only provides a comfortable and easy element to elevate the package, but also it is easily easy to resist the stresses of lifting and transport. Although the support tabs are described as being viewed on the lower support panel 20, they can be limited if the load of the carrier can be adequately supported by the tabs on the upper support panel. Lowering the. fold, 44 and 50 of the handle sections, 40 and 46, from the edges of the upper fins 18 and 16 of the support panel, respectively, it is possible to overlap the panel edges while, at the same time, Provides a handle on the centerline of the carrier. making of nu <; or reference to Figures 1, 2 and 4, it can be seen that the eyes of each handle section are provided with a line Sc < of marking, each of which is spaced by the mi. at a distance from the ends of the legs. These dial lines 59 on a carrier handle are thus align. This arrangement makes it possible for the handle of a carrier f_ < Swim is folded so that it does not interfere with the bundling of packages. As shown in Figure 5, 1 handle 28 of three folds has been bent so that its end may be retained in place, under the flange F! E an adjacent bottle B. In this position, the lines of ..oblez 59 are below the top of the bottles, thus allowing the bottoms of the bottles in a package to be stacked on the illustrated carrier to be supported. > or the upper parts of the bottles of the carrier * ustered. To lift a stacked carrier, it is merely necessary to detach the handle from the flange of the bottle and to < ? go it in the normal way. A modi ed form of carrier, capable of no greater tensile strength, can be obtained from the preform 60 shown in FIG. Figure 6. This preform is similar in the basic arrangement, the preform of Figure 3, in that it includes a support panel section 62, centrally positioned, connected to the fold lines 64 to the fins 66 and 68 of the panel. The support, with bottleneck openings similar to those in the present embodiment of Figure 3. In this case, however, the section 62 of the support panel forms a top carrier support panel and the "! The upper panel 62 of the panel support includes an elongated slit 70, which extends along a major portion of the center line of the support section and supports the support panel. The handle sections are somewhat different: The legs 22 of the handle section 74, in the form of a C, connect the fold lines 76 to the outer edge of each inner support wing 66 and 68. Handle sections, usually if they are connected to the s handle sections 74 along]. - > fold lines 80. Each handle section 78 includes a 1st handle flap 82 connected along the fold line 84 extending between the legs 86. The tabs 82 and handle are recessed from the ends of the legs. &numsp &numsp &numsp; &numsp; &numsp; &numsp; &numsp; Marking lines 59, similar in function to the dialed lines 59 of the first embodiment, are provided in each handle section To manufacture, i carrier from the preform 60, after applying the gc to the dotted portions of the handle sections 74, shown in Figure 6, the outer handle sections 78 are Oblate around the fold lines 80 and adhere to the handle sections 74 to create a handle section of the folds at each The preform is then folded around the fold lines 64 and the two-fold handle sections 88, comprised of the adhered handle sections 74 and 78, are again folded up around the edges of the preform. fold lines 74 towards the ección upper 62 of the support panel, as illustrated in Figure 7. The two-fold handle sections 88 are erp upwardly through the slot 70 in the upper section 62 of the support panel, to form the carrier rr. Figure 8 and 9, in which the handle has the reference number 90. When 1 package is lifted by the handle of the carrier, the stresses exerted < The carrier is distributed between both support panels, upper and lower, due to the fact that the handle, being, or connected to the lower support panel, elevates this support panel in contact with the upper panel of. bearing. The handle itself is of adequate strength to withstand the load, since it is comprised of four jets. Although the bearer of the first non-rc mode wants the additional stages of manufacture of the modality, the aggregate resistance requirements of heavy loads may make the second mode more convenient in such cases. Note also that it is not necessary for the support panels, upper and lower, to be glued together, since the lifting of the package or the handle automatically brings the lower support panel into face-to-face contact with the upper panel of the support. sope e.

As in the first embodiment, the support tabs on the lower support panel can be eliminated if it is determined that they are not necessary in order to adequately support the arga of a particular package. Although the cans have been shown with a separate integral rim, the term "rim" is used here including the bottom side of the bottle caps in bottles that do not incorporate an integral rim. Obviously, the invention can be > racticada in carriers designed to carry less than or more than six bottles, while the articles are arranged in the adjacent rows. It can be appreciated now that the invention provides a unique sop carrier. you, able to carry heavy loads without failure. The characteristics that make it possible for the wearer to function in a manner are incorporated in this carrier without requiring expensive forms of porting or complicated maneuvers of the packaging machines. The invention is limited to all the specific details described in relation to the preferred embodiments, except that they are within the scope of the appended claims.
