The raised tabs 176a, 176b prevent the user from attempting to buckle the carton in a direction across the carton. Or alternatively, the two tabs 176a, 176b that prevent the user from picking up the carton in a direction transverse to D1 or D2 have been deliberately (even selectively) designed to block the user. Lift the carton in the opposite direction to the grain. Alternatively, the configuration may be selectively provided with the ability to assist in controlling the stresses transmitted through the top sheet 112 when the handling handle configuration H is utilized to grab and lift the carton.

該等凸出舌片176a、176b在形狀、構型或構造上的形成方式,較佳係以可阻止使用者朝著與該紙板胚片110紋路相反之方向來拾取該紙箱為原則。因此,只要符合下列任一項或以上,即可選擇性達成此舉:該等凸出舌片176a、176b耐彎折(只要其形狀係以,例如,叉開的折疊線172a、172b界定而成,及/或折疊線172a、172b由一切割線173或裂痕173隔開,即可選擇性達成此舉);壓住該凸出舌片176a、176b時會變得不舒服(將該等凸出舌片176a、176b的一面弄成具有尖點,即可選擇性達成此舉);及/或該等舌片176a、176b的勁度(利用該等凸出舌片176a、176b與該頂板片112之間的連接性質,亦可選擇性達成此舉)。 The manner in which the raised tabs 176a, 176b are formed in shape, configuration or configuration is preferably such that the user is prevented from picking up the carton in a direction opposite to the grain of the cardboard blank 110. Thus, this can be selectively achieved as long as any or all of the following are met: the raised tabs 176a, 176b are resistant to bending (as long as they are shaped such as, for example, the split fold lines 172a, 172b The forming and/or folding lines 172a, 172b are separated by a cutting line 173 or a crack 173, which can be selectively achieved; the pressing of the protruding tabs 176a, 176b becomes uncomfortable (these One side of the protruding tabs 176a, 176b is formed with a sharp point to selectively achieve this; and/or the stiffness of the tabs 176a, 176b (using the protruding tabs 176a, 176b and the The nature of the connection between the top sheets 112 can also be selectively achieved).

該攜運把手H進一步包括減壓切斷線或切口170a、170b、170c、170d。各減壓切斷線170a、170b、170c、170d的位置較佳地設成分別至少有一部份係與在該指孔111及該頂板片112的至少一角隅之間延伸的一條想像線「N」大約保持垂直或橫斷。在圖2A中,這一條想像線「N」係在整個該頂板片112上從其中一個角隅斜向延伸並約略穿過指孔111的中心,再到頂板片112的對角角隅。各條減壓切斷線170a、170b、170c、170d較佳略為彎曲,以致從該指孔111的位置觀看時,即為凹曲形。易言之,各條減壓切斷線170a、170b、170c、170d可繞著該指孔111的中心予以彎曲。設有該攜運把手H時,則在提拿該把手之際,該等減壓切斷線170a、170b、170c、170d可減輕該頂板片111的應力集中情形,甚或防止其發生。亦或者,圍繞在該指孔111的該等減壓切斷線170a、170b、170c、170d可讓該紙箱的頂板片112於指定的點屈曲,以防止發生惱人的撕裂情形。較佳地,各減壓切斷線170a、170b、170c、170d以彼此相對且各自至少朝著該指孔111 急劇彎曲的端部171作為終端。較佳地,各端部171進一步彎曲而形成一弧形,以致各減壓切斷線之對向端部171所屬的端點實質上係彼此相向。較佳地,該等彎曲端部171為大致J形的形狀。此外,該等彎曲端部171可減輕或至少限制住該等減壓切斷線進一步擴展到該頂板片112之內。 The carrying handle H further includes a reduced pressure cut line or slit 170a, 170b, 170c, 170d. Preferably, each of the decompression cutting lines 170a, 170b, 170c, and 170d is disposed at least in part with an imaginary line extending between the finger hole 111 and at least one corner of the top plate 112. "About vertical or cross." In Fig. 2A, this imaginary line "N" extends obliquely from one of the corners of the top plate 112 and approximately passes through the center of the finger hole 111 to the diagonal angle 顶 of the top plate 112. Each of the pressure-reduction cut lines 170a, 170b, 170c, 170d is preferably slightly curved so as to be concavely curved when viewed from the position of the finger hole 111. In other words, the respective pressure-reduction cut lines 170a, 170b, 170c, 170d can be bent around the center of the finger hole 111. When the carrying handle H is provided, the pressure-reduction cutting lines 170a, 170b, 170c, and 170d can reduce the stress concentration of the top sheet 111 or even prevent it from occurring when the handle is lifted. Alternatively, the reduced pressure cut lines 170a, 170b, 170c, 170d surrounding the finger holes 111 allow the top sheet 112 of the carton to flex at a designated point to prevent an annoying tearing condition. Preferably, each of the decompression cut lines 170a, 170b, 170c, 170d are opposed to each other and at least toward the finger holes 111 at least The sharply curved end 171 serves as a terminal. Preferably, each end portion 171 is further curved to form an arc such that the end points to which the opposite end portions 171 of the respective decompression cut lines belong are substantially opposite to each other. Preferably, the curved ends 171 are generally J-shaped. Moreover, the curved ends 171 can alleviate or at least limit the expansion of the reduced pressure cut lines into the top sheet 112.

現轉而參閱如圖2C及圖2D所示紙箱的製作,該紙箱係設想成可在直線式機器中運用一連串連續彎折的作業而形成,以致不需要旋轉或反轉就可完成紙箱的製作。該彎折過程不以後文所述者為限,自可依據特定的製造需求而變更。首先,可將該頂板片112置於一組共四件的物品A之上;接著,相對於該頂板片112,可將第一及第二側板片114、116彎折,致使該第一及第二側板片114、116與該物品組的對向側邊並排且較佳與之接觸。角撐板片有助於使成對的側邊端封襟片132a/132b自動從物品組的對向端部繞著物品佈署及移動,以便產生該紙箱的角隅並將物品組固定在一起。最後,可將踵趾鎖固舌片120b插入鎖固孔120a內,據以使鎖固底板片118a、118b變成搭接接觸及鎖固在一起。以此方式將物品組緊緊纏繞住時,該紙箱便將物品A固定成一單元,因而能利用一指式把手配置H予以便利地提拿與攜運。 Referring now to the production of the carton shown in Figures 2C and 2D, the carton is conceived to be formed by a series of continuous bending operations in a linear machine so that the carton can be completed without rotation or reversal. . The bending process is not limited to those described later, and may vary depending on the particular manufacturing requirements. First, the top sheet 112 can be placed on a set of four items A; then, the first and second side sheets 114, 116 can be bent relative to the top sheet 112, so that the first and The second side panels 114, 116 are juxtaposed and preferably in contact with opposite sides of the article set. The gusset sheets help the pair of side end closure flaps 132a/132b to be automatically deployed and moved around the article from opposite ends of the article set to create the corners of the carton and secure the group of articles together. Finally, the metatarsal locking tabs 120b can be inserted into the locking holes 120a such that the locking floor panels 118a, 118b become lapped and locked together. When the group of articles is tightly wrapped in this manner, the carton secures the article A into a unit, so that it can be conveniently picked up and carried by the one-finger handle configuration H.

Alternatively, the spacer tabs 166a, 166b may be selectively attached by a splitting of the common cut line or the second cut line 180 to maintain the integrity of the top sheet 112 prior to deployment of the handle H. Sex. In addition, in other embodiments, it may be selectively contemplated to separate the spacer tabs 166a, 166b, and at least a portion of each of the spacer tabs 166a, 166b is attached to or detached from the top panel in a frangible manner. When the spacers are displaceable, the spacer tabs 166a, 166b can be moved away from each other. Alternatively, in other contemplated embodiments, the raised tabs 176a, 176b may meet or be placed closer together or may be spaced apart by the raised tabs 176a, 176b. Sheets 166a, 166b. Alternatively, in such an arrangement, the spacer tabs 166a, 166b may alternatively have a substantially triangular shape.

相較於既有的一指式攜運把手,例如圖1所示的攜運把手Hp,本發明的攜運把手配置H係一種強度足可在薄紙板所形成的紙箱上予以順利佈署的把手。 Compared with the existing one-finger carrying handle, such as the carrying handle H p shown in FIG. 1 , the carrying handle configuration H of the present invention is a kind of strength enough to be smoothly deployed on the carton formed by the thin cardboard. Handlebar.

對於本發明之實施例的一指式攜運把手H(參閱圖2A至圖 2D)與習知技藝已知的一指式攜運把手Hp(參閱圖1),曾進行過循環墜落(Cyclic-Drop)測試(亦稱為衝擊測試(Jerk-Testing)),以供互相比較。循環墜落測試係對相同式樣的紙箱進行,亦即圖1及圖2A所示的纏繞式紙箱。為能量化各式把手結構的強度與堅固性,曾對圖1及圖2A所示纏繞式紙箱的十件樣品進行測試(均裝入相同重量的物品及同樣以組裝妥的配置固定住)。 For the embodiment of the present invention a finger grip may bring and the formula H (see FIGS. 2A to 2D) and a conventional means known in the art may bring and grip the formula H p (see FIG. 1), has been falling cycle (Cyclic -Drop) tests (also known as Jerk-Testing) for comparison with each other. The circling fall test was performed on the same type of carton, that is, the wrap-around carton shown in Figs. 1 and 2A. To energize the strength and robustness of the various handle structures, ten samples of the wrap-around carton shown in Figures 1 and 2A were tested (all loaded with the same weight and fixed in an assembled configuration).

樣品中有五件設有如圖1所示的單一襯墊襟片。這些樣品係以厚度為0.016 caliper Carrier Kote®的紙板所製成。另五件纏繞式攜具的樣品則設有依據圖2A所示本發明之實施例所構成的把手配置。這些樣品係從厚度為0.016 caliper Carrier Kote®的紙板裁切而成。(本文所稱「caliper」係指紙板厚度,通常是以千分之一英吋(0.001”)或點為單位表達。就此而論,0.016 caliper的Carrier Kote®紙板所具有的厚度為0.016”(約0.4mm))。 Five of the samples were provided with a single padded cymbal as shown in Figure 1. These samples were made from paperboard with a thickness of 0.016 caliper Carrier Kote®. A sample of the other five wrapped carriers is provided with a handle arrangement constructed in accordance with an embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figure 2A. These samples were cut from cardboard with a thickness of 0.016 caliper Carrier Kote®. (The term "caliper" as used herein refers to the thickness of a cardboard, usually expressed in units of one thousandth of an inch (0.001") or in points. In this connection, Carrier Kote® paperboard of 0.016 caliper has a thickness of 0.016" ( About 0.4mm)).

測試所用的機器為循環墜落測試機;測試方法為第100-61號的應用造紙技術(Applied Paper Technology)標準測試方法,而測試則是在TAPPI(美國紙漿與造紙技術協會)標準測試條件下進行。相關的應用造紙技術標準測試方法檢附於本發明,而測試結果則載於下表: The machine used for the test was a cyclic drop tester; the test method was the standard test method of Applied Paper Technology No. 100-61, and the test was carried out under the standard test conditions of TAPPI (American Pulp and Paper Technology Association). . Relevant application paper technology standard test methods are attached to the present invention, and the test results are shown in the following table:

表1.1:對具有習知一指式把手配置Hp之紙箱樣品,和對具 有依據本發明實施例構成之一指式把手配置的類似紙箱進行循環墜落測試的結果。 Table 1.1: refers to a conventional carton handles arranged H p of samples, and the results of the drop tests with cyclic having similar carton according to one embodiment refers to a configuration example of the configuration of the handles of the present invention.

從上列表1.1所載的結果可知,若與圖1所示的習用一指式把手配置Hp相比較,圖2A所示本發明之實施例的把手配置H展現出改良的性能。該把手配置H的強度較高,因而可用於0.016 caliper厚度之Carrier Kote®紙板構成的紙箱。本發明之實施例的把手配置H所能耐抗的衝擊,平均比圖1所示的習知一指式把手配置Hp高出500%以上,即為有所改良的證據。所以,跟標準的一指式把手Hp相比,本發明提供了一種強度較佳的新式把手。 From the result list contained 1.1, if the conventional one shown in Fig. 1 refers to the formula H p grip configuration compared view of the handle of the present invention shown in FIG. 2A H configuration of the embodiment exhibit improved performance. The handle configuration H has a high strength and can therefore be used in cartons made of Carrier Kote® cardboard with a thickness of 0.016 caliper. The impact of the handle arrangement H of the embodiment of the present invention, which is more than 500% higher than the conventional one-finger handle arrangement H p shown in Fig. 1, is evidence of improvement. Therefore, compared with a standard finger handles H p, the present invention provides a new intensity preferred handle.

通常,圖1所示習知單一襯墊襟片式的把手配置,對紙箱(例如圖1所示者)所採用的把手,會要求採用較厚的紙板來製作(例如,0.021 caliper(0.021”(約0.5 mm)的厚度),以便該把手具有可供攜運已裝入物品之紙箱的充分強度。衝擊測試是對0.016 caliper厚度之Carrier Kote®紙板進行,以便顯示出本發明的這種新穎把手配置的改良強度,及其對較薄紙板所製成之紙箱的適用性。此測試也證明,至少在某一實施例中,本發明的把手配置可用較少的材料製作出樣式如圖2A所示的那種具有一指式攜運把手H的紙箱,因而發揮節省成本及合乎環保的效益。另要瞭解的是,前五件樣品的那種設有習知把手及以低於建議厚度之紙板所製作的纏繞式攜具,其不良率並不代表本發明申請人所銷售的任一產品。 In general, the conventional single padded handle configuration shown in Figure 1 requires a thicker cardboard for the handles used in the carton (e.g., as shown in Figure 1) (e.g., 0.021 caliper (0.021") (about 0.5 mm) thickness so that the handle has sufficient strength to carry the cartons loaded with the item. The impact test was performed on Carrier Kote® paperboard with a thickness of 0.016 caliper to show the novelty of the present invention. Improved strength of the handle arrangement and its suitability for cartons made of thinner paperboard. This test also demonstrates that, in at least one embodiment, the handle arrangement of the present invention can be styled with less material as shown in Figure 2A. The one shown has a one-piece carton carrying the handle H, thus achieving cost savings and environmental benefits. It is also understood that the first five samples are provided with conventional handles and below recommended thickness. The wound-type carrier made by the paperboard does not represent any of the products sold by the applicant of the present invention.
