Description

PACKAGE AND BLANK Field of inventionThe invention relates to a package comprising a front wall comprisingtwo panels and a handle being integrally formed in the front wall panels.The invention also relates to a blank comprising two front wall panelsconfigured to together form a front wall of a package, and comprising a handle integrally formed in the front wall panels.

Technical BackgroundPackages for objects should generally fulfil several functions. One function being the protection of an object packaged therein, both protectingthe object from damage and from tampering from the outside. Anotherfunction is to facilitate transportation the object. This latter functionality in turnimplicates several requirements; the package should be easily storable andstackable and should be easily carried, such as by being provided with ahandle by which the package is carried.

FR2841218 discloses a package provided with a handle. However, it iscumbersome to close the container and thread the handle through the slit inthe front panel. WO96/17780 also discloses a package provided with ahandle. However, also this package is cumbersome to close since the handlealso in this case is disclosed to be threaded through a slit in the front panel.

Summary of inventionlt is an object of the invention to provide a package which protects an object therein, which is easy to transport, which is easily assembled and atthe same time is made with an efficient use of material.

This object has been achieved by a package comprising a front wall comprising an inner front wall panel and an outer front wall paneL 2 a handle being integrally formed in the front wall and being outwardlyfoldable, the handle being formed from a handle portion of the inner front wallpanel and a handle portion of the outer front wall panel, a lid panel, a central front panel being foldably connected to the lid panel, thecentral front panel being configured to be positioned between the inner frontwall panel and the outer front wall panel and inside of the handle portion ofthe inner front wall panel and the handle portion of the outer front wall panel,and a front cover panel being foldably connected to the lid panel, the frontcover panel comprising: a first side portion and a second side portion, each beingpositioned on a respective transverse side of the central front paneland being configured to be positioned on an outer side of the front wall, a first tab and a second tab, each being foldably connected to arespective side portion of the front cover panel, the first tab being configured to interact with a first side wall andthe second tab being configured to interact with a second side wall tokeep the package closed.

Such a package is easy to carry as it provides a handle by which thepackage can be carried. The handle does not need to protrude out from thepackage until it is deliberately outwardly folded from the package. Thus thepackage can be stored and stacked in an efficient manner as it can beassembled without any protruding parts. lt is even possible, if it is desirable,to have the handle portion of the inner front wall panel and/or the handleportion of the outer front wall panel still being attached to its respective frontwall panel. One or both of the handle portions may e.g. be cut from itsrespective front wall panel along the majority of its contour but still beattached to its respective front wall panel at one or more points aiding inkeeping the handle in a tucked away position and still making it easy to foldthe handle outwardly. Alternatively, one or both of the handle portions may beattached to its respective front wall panel along a perforation line extending 3 along its contour. Combinations of completely cut contour line, perforatedcontour line and attachment points are also conceivable.

Further, the package can protect any object held therein by theprovision of the central front panel. When the handle being formed from ahandle portion of the inner front wall panel and a handle portion of the outerfront wall panel is outwardly folded, it leaves an opening in the front wall ofthe package, but by providing the central front panel this opening may be fullycovered by the central front panel, thus protecting the object, both fromdamage and from tampering from the outside. Thus the package can beeasily carried while still protecting an object held in the package.

As the central front panel is configured to be positioned between theinner and outer front wall panel it can be securely positioned and may preventaccess from the outside to an object held in the package.

Such a package can be made with an efficient use of material. Thissince the central front panel can be mainly made from the front cover panelwhich panel is needed anyway to hold together the package with the first andsecond tab and the handle comes from the front wall which also is neededanyway. Thus every part of the package can come from a single blank and noexternal parts have to be attached. Further, no extensions have to be made tosuch a blank in order to provide the central front panel or the handle.

A transversal width of the central front panel may be larger than atransversal width of the handle.

Thus it can be made sure that the central front panel can cover anopening left in the front of the package by outwardly folding the handle. lt canalso make sure that the central front panel can be positioned between theinner and outer front wall panel on both transversal sides of the handle, thuslocking the central front panel in place. lt can be enough that a portion of the central front panel has atransversal width larger than the transversal width of a corresponding portionof the handle in order to provide the desired locking effect. However, it ispreferred that a transversal width of every portion of the central front panel is 4 larger than the corresponding width of the handle such that the central frontpanel can cover the opening.

Corresponding here meaning that the Iongitudinal position of a point onthe central front panel in a fully closed package is equal to the Iongitudinalposition of a point on the handle which is not outwardly folded or of a point ofthe opening formed when the handle is outwardly folded.

The transversal width of the central front panel may be larger than atransversal width of the handle such that the central front panel will abutportions of the inner front wall panel and outer front wall panel also when thehandle has been folded outwardly and thereby be kept in position betweenthe inner and outer front wall panels.

The outer front wall panel may comprise a cut-out facilitating initialinsertion of the central front panel between the inner front wall panel and theouter front wall panel, the inner front wall panel may comprise an abutmentsurface being exposed by said cut-out in the outer front wall panel.

This facilitates the positioning of the central front panel between theinner and outer front wall panel.

The front wall may comprise a top end, and the central front panel maybe configured to be positioned between the inner front wall panel and theouter front wall panel by being inserted in an opening in the top end of thefront wall.

This allows for a simple and easy way to position the central frontpanel between the inner and outer front wall panel. By being inserted in thetop end of the front wall the package can be made compact and suitable forstoring and stacking.

The package may comprise a fold line along the top end, wherein theouter front wall panel and the inner front wall panel may be foldablyconnected to each other via the fold line.

By this the front wall can be made from a continuous piece of materialand can thus be made stronger and more resistant to damage, thus betterprotecting any object held inside. By the front wall being made from acontinuous piece of material the package may be made in a more material efficient manner and it also facilitates the package being formed from asingle-piece blank.

The handle portion of the outer front wall panel and the handle portionof the inner front wall panel may be foldably connected to each other via thefold line.

By this the handle can be made from a continuous piece of materialand can thus be made stronger and thus provide for an improved way ofcarrying the package.

The top end may comprise a cut-out along the fold line, and the centralfront panel may be configured to be positioned between the inner front wallpanel and the outer front wall panel by being inserted through the cut-out ofthe top end.

The cut-out may provide for that the central front panel is securelypositioned between the inner and outer front wall panel. lt also allows for thepositioning to be done in a simple manner.

The front cover panel may comprise a transversely extendingconnection portion connecting the first side portion and the second sideportion with each other.

By this the package may be better held together and kept close in amore secure manner.

The connection portion may be formed at a distance from the lid panel,which distance may be longer than the distance by which the central frontpanel extends from the lid panel as seen along the front wall. The distancemay also be equal.

The handle may be outwardly foldable with the connection portionpositioned below the handle.

This positioning of the connection portion aids in preventing thepackage from being opened when the handle is outwardly folded as thehandle then can be in the way of the connection portion, preventing the frontcover panel and thus the tabs to be moved such that the package is opened.By below is here meant that the connection portion is closer to the bottom ofthe package than the handle is. The bottom of the package is the side of the 6 package which is opposite to the lid when the package is closed. Thispositioning of the connection portion may also be used to strengthen thepackage. Unintentional further tearing of the handle portions will reach theupper edge of the connection portion and the handle will have a tendency tobe folded around the upper edge of the connection portion rather than beingtorn further.

A |ongitudina| extension of the central front panel, from the lid paneltowards the bottom of the package, is such that the central front panel asseen along the |ongitudina| extension covers the opening in the front wallwhich is formed by folding the handle outwardly, and preferably extends adistance past the opening towards the bottom of the package.

By this the central front panel may cover the opening and may belocked in place between the inner and outer front wall panels. lf the central front panel also is designed such that any transversalwidth of the central front panel is wider than the corresponding transversalwidth of the handle, it is possible to completely cover the opening, not only asseen along the |ongitudina| direction but also as seen along the transversaldirection. lt may however be noted that it is conceivable to provide a smallinspection opening or the like in the central front panel if the user scenariorequires so. However, in the user scenario contemplated in the present case,it is preferred that the central front panel completely covers the opening in thefront wall and thereby prevents tampering with the goods inside the package.

The first side wall and the second side wall may each comprise aninner side wall panel and an outer side wall panel, and the first tab may beconfigured to be positioned between the inner side wall panel and the outerside wall panel of the first side wall and the second tab may be configured tobe positioned between the inner side wall panel and the outer side wall panelof the second side wall.

Thus, the first and second tab can be securely positioned and it is notnecessary to use any adhesive. Further, each tab can be protected from theoutside by respective outer side wall panel. 7 The object of the invention is also achieved by a blank intended to beerected into a package, the blank comprising: an inner front wall panel and an outer front wall panel, the inner front wall panel and the outer front wall panel beingconfigured to, in an erected state of the blank, together form a front wall, a handle portion of the inner front wall panel being integrally formed inthe inner front wall panel and a handle portion of the outer front wall panelbeing integrally formed in the outer front wall panel, the handle portion of the inner front wall panel and the handle portionof the outer front wall panel being configured to, in an erected state of theblank, together form a handle being integrally formed in the front wall andbeing outwardly foldable, a lid panel, a central front panel being foldably connected to the lid panel, thecentral front panel being configured to, in an erected state of the blank, bepositioned between the inner front wall panel and the outer front wall paneland inside of the handle portion of the inner front wall panel and the handleportion of the outer front wall panel, and a front cover panel being foldably connected to the lid panel, the frontcover panel comprising: a first side portion and a second side portion, each configuredto, in an erected state of the blank, be positioned on a respectivetransverse side of the central front panel and to be positioned on anouter side of the front wall, a first tab and a second tab, each being foldably connected to arespective side portion of the front cover panel, the first tab being configured to, in an erected state of the blank,interact with a first side wall and the second tab being configured to, inan erected state of the blank, interact with a second side wall to keepthe package closed.

The blank is preferably a single-piece blank.

The blank is preferably made of a paper based material. 8 The features and associated advantages mentioned in relation to thepackage are applicable to the blank and vice versa. The handle is preferablyconfigured to be in a storage position in which it extends in parallel with thefront wall when the package is transported.

Foldable in an outward direction from the front wall to a usage positionin which it extends away from the front wall at an angle relative to the frontwall being sufficiently large to allow a person gripping the handle and therebyallowing the user to carry the package by the handle. lt may be noted that a central front panel positioned inside of thehandle portion of the inner front wall panel and the handle portion of the outerfront wall panel relates to that the central front panel is positioned closer to aninside of the package compared to the handle portions.

Longitudinal is here a direction which extends from the inner front wallpanel to the front cover panel. ln the blank this would be straight line whenthe blank is flat. ln the blank when erected or in the package this would be aline which turns along with the folds of the blank. Thus, in the erectedpackage this would be a line which circumvents the package along the frontwall to the bottom to the back wall to the lid and to the front cover panel.

Transverse is here a direction which is perpendicular to the longitudinaldirection.

The invention may also in short be said to relate to a packagecomprising a front wall comprising an inner front wall panel and an outer front wallpaneL a handle being integrally formed in the front wall and being outwardlyfoldable, the handle being formed from a handle portion of the inner front wallpanel and a handle portion of the outer front wall panel, a lid panel, a central front panel being foldably connected to the lid panel, thecentral front panel being configured to be positioned between the inner frontwall panel and the outer front wall panel and inside of the handle portion ofthe inner front wall panel and the handle portion of the outer front wall panel.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the package in a fully closed state.

Figure 4 is a top down view of a blank intended to be erected into the package of Figure 1 to 3.

Detailed description of preferred embodiments Figure 1, 2 and 3 shows a package 10. ln Figure 1 and 2, the package10 is partly closed and in Figure 3 the package is fully closed. Figure 4 showsa blank which the package 10 can be erected from. The below description ofthe erected package of Figure 1 to 3 will be better understood if taking intoaccount the blank of Figure 4, and vice versa.

The package 10 comprises a front wall 20. The front wall comprises aninner front wall panel 21 and an outer front wall panel 22.

The package 10 comprises a handle 30. The handle 30 is integrallyformed in the front wall 20. The handle 30 is outvvardly foldable. The handle30 is formed from a handle portion of the inner front wall panel 31 and ahandle portion of the outer front wall panel 32.

The package 10 comprises a lid panel 40.

The package 10 comprises a central front panel 51 being foldablyconnected to the lid panel 40. The central front panel 51 is configured to bepositioned between the inner front wall panel 21 and the outer front wall panel22 and inside of the handle portion of the inner front wall panel 31 and thehandle portion of the outer front wall panel 32.

The package 10 comprises a front cover panel 50. The front coverpanel 50 is foldably connected to the lid panel 40.

The front cover panel 50 comprises a first side portion 52 and a secondside portion 53, each being positioned on a respective transverse side of thecentral front panel 51 and being configured to be positioned on an outer sideof the front wall 20.

The front cover panel 50 comprises a first tab 54 and a second tab 55,each being foldably connected to a respective side portion 52, 53 of the frontcover panel 50.

The first tab 54 is configured to interact with a first side wall 60 of thepackage 10 and the second tab 55 is configured to interact with a second sidewall 70 of the package 10 to keep the package 10 closed.

The transversal width of the central front panel 51 is larger than atransversal width of the handle 30. As can be seen in the figures thetransversal width of every portion of the central front panel 51 is such that thecentral front panel covers the opening left in the front wall by folding thehandle 30 outwardly. ln other words, the transversal width of every portion ofthe central front panel 51 is larger than every corresponding portion of thehandle 30.

The outer front wall panel 22 comprises a cut-out 23. The cut out 23facilitates initial insertion of the central front panel 51 between the inner frontwall panel 21 and the outer front wall panel 22. The inner front wall panel 21comprises an abutment surface 24 being exposed by said cut-out 23 in theouter front wall panel 22. As can be seen in Figure 2 the central front panel 51can be inserted between the inner front wall panel 21 and the outer front wallpanel 22 by using the cut-out 23 and initially pressing the central front panel51 against the abutment surface 24. The inner front wall panel 21 may alsocomprise a cut-out corresponding to the cut-out 23 of the outer front wallpanel. lf so, the area of the cut-out of the inner front wall panel 21 ispreferably smaller than the cut-out 23 of the outer front wall panel 22.

The front wall 20 comprises a top end 25. As can be seen in the figuresthe central front panel 51 is configured to be positioned between the innerfront wall panel 21 and the outer front wall panel 22 by being inserted in anopening in the top end 25 of the front wall 20. 11 The package 10 comprises a fold line 26 along the top end 25, wherein theouter front wall panel 22 and the inner front wall panel 21 are foldablyconnected to each other via the fold line 26.

The handle portion of the outer front wall panel 32 and the handleportion of the inner front wall panel 31 are foldably connected to each othervia the fold line 26.

The top end 25 comprises a cut-out along the fold line 26. The centralfront panel 51 is configured to be positioned between the inner front wallpanel 21 and the outer front wall panel 22 by being inserted through the cut-out of the top end 26.

The front cover panel 50 comprises a connection portion 56. Theconnection portion 56 connects the first side portion 52 and the second sideportion 53 with each other. The connection portion 56 is transverselyextending.

The connection portion 56 is placed at a distance from the lid panel 40.Which distance is longer than the distance by which the central front panel 51extends from the lid panel 40.

The handle 30 is outwardly foldable with the connection portion 56positioned below the handle 30. As can be seen in Figure 3, when thepackage 10 is fully closed and the handle 30 is outwardly folded, theconnection portion 56 is positioned below the handle 30.

The longitudinal extension of the central front panel 51, from the lid panel 40towards the bottom of the package 10, is such that the central front panel 51as seen along the longitudinal extension covers the opening in the front wall20 which is formed by folding the handle 30 outvvardly. The central front panelthus, when the package is fully closed, extends downwards such that alocking mechanism is formed by squeezing of the central front panel 51between the inner front wall panel 21 and the handle 30.

As can be seen in Figure 4, the central front panel 51 may comprise aprotrusion 57. The protrusion 57 is configured to be inserted between theinner front wall panel 21 and the outer front wall panel 22 through a handle 12 opening of the handle 20. This will have the effect of increasing the lockingthe central front panel in place even more securely.

The first side wall 60 comprises an inner side wall panel 61 and anouter side wall panel 62. The first tab 54 is configured to be positionedbetween the inner side wall panel 61 and the outer side wall panel 62 of thefirst side wall 60.

The second tab 55 is configured to bepositioned between the inner side wall panel 71 and the outer side wall panel71 of the second side wall 70. ln Figure 1 the package 10 is shown in a partly closed state. Thehandle 30 is yet to be outwardly folded. The central front panel 51 is yet to beinserted between the inner front wall panel 21 and the outer front wall panel22. The front cover panel 50 is yet to be folded downwards. As such the firstand the second side portion 52, 53 of the front cover panel 50 are yet to bepositioned on an outer side of the front wall 20 and the connection portion 56is yet to be positioned below the handle 30. The first tab and the second tab54, 55 are yet to be folded relative the front cover panel 50 and to be insertedbetween the respective inner and outer side wall panel 61, 71, 62, 72. ln Figure 2 the package 10 is shown in a partly closed state. ln Figure2 the central front panel 51 has been positioned between the inner front wallpanel 21 and the outer front wall panel 22 and inside of the handle portion ofthe inner front wall panel 31 and the handle portion of the outer front wallpanel 32. The handle 30 is outwardly folded such that the central front panel51 can be positioned between the inner front wall panel 21 and the outer frontwall panel 22. The handle 30 is not outwardly folded enough that it preventsthe front cover panel 50 from being downwardly folded such that the first andthe second side portion 52, 53 of the front cover panel 50 are positioned onan outer side of the front wall 20 and the connection portion 56 is positionedbelow the handle 30. ln Figure 3 the package 10 is shown in a fully closed state. The centralfront panel 51 has been positioned between the inner front wall panel 21 andthe outer front wall panel 22 and inside of the handle portion of the inner front 13 wall panel 31 and the handle portion of the outer front wall panel 32. The frontcover panel 50 has been folded downwards such that the first and the secondside portion 52, 53 of the front cover panel 50 are positioned on an outer sideof the front wall 20 and the connection portion 56 is positioned below thehandle 30. The handle 30 has been outvvardly folded such that the package10 can be carried by the handle 30. The central front panel 51 fully covers theopening left in the front wall 20 by outwardly folding the handle 30.

The first tab and the second tab 54, 55 have been folded relative thefront cover panel 50 and inserted between the respective inner and outer sidewall panel 61, 71, 62, 72. Thus, the first tab 54 interacts with the first side wall60 of the package 10 and the second tab 55 interacts with the second sidewall 70 of the package 10 to keep the package 10 closed.
