For example, the size and shape of the plates and openings can be adjusted to accommodate items of different sizes and shapes. The illustrated embodiments show cartons or blanks used to form wrap-around article carriers; however, in other embodiments, the article carriers may take other alternative modes or configurations, and the present invention may also be used one or more of the characteristics.
現將認知的是,本文所稱的各定向用語,例如「頂部」、「底部」、「前」、「後」、「端」、「側」、「內」、「外」、「上」和「下」等,未必是把相關的板片限定於該取向,僅是用來區別該等板片而已。It will now be recognized that the various directional terms referred to herein, such as "top", "bottom", "front", "rear", "side", "side", "inside", "outside", "upper" and "down", etc., do not necessarily limit the relevant plates to the orientation, but are only used to distinguish the plates.
本文所稱「鉸接部」及「折疊線」係指界定出該胚片上之鉸接部件,促使胚片各部份相對於彼此易於彎折,或該指胚片所屬各板片之適當彎折位置的各式各樣的線。舉凡提及「鉸接部」者不得據以解釋成必然以單一的折疊線為限;事實上,一個鉸接部可由二條或以上的折疊線形成,其中該等折疊線各自的形狀可以是直線形或曲線形。當以直線形折疊線來形成一鉸接部時,可將它們設成彼此平行或略微保持一角度。此外,當曲線形折疊線來形成一鉸接部時,則可將它們設成彼此交叉,據以在其圍繞住的區域裡界定出一片成型板片。這種鉸接部的典型範例可包括在兩點交叉,以致在彼此間界定出一片橢圓形板片的一對拱形或弧形折疊線。再者,一個鉸接部可由一條或以上的直線形和一條或以上的曲線形折疊線形成。這種鉸接部的典型範例可包括在兩點交叉,以致在彼此間界定出一片半月形板片的一條直線形折疊線與一條拱形或弧形折疊線的組合。The term "hinge" and "fold line" as used herein refers to the hinged part defining the blank, which facilitates the bending of the various parts of the blank relative to each other, or the proper bending position of the plates to which the blank belongs. of various lines. Any reference to a "hinge" should not be construed as necessarily being limited to a single fold; in fact, a hinge may be formed by two or more folds, each of which may be rectilinear or curved. When forming a hinge with straight fold lines, they can be positioned parallel to each other or at a slight angle. Furthermore, when curved folding lines form a hinge, they can be arranged to intersect each other, thereby delimiting a profiled panel in the area they enclose. A typical example of such a hinge may include a pair of arcuate or arcuate fold lines intersecting at two points so as to define between each other an oval-shaped panel. Furthermore, a hinge may be formed by one or more rectilinear and one or more curved fold lines. A typical example of such a hinge may include a combination of a rectilinear fold line and an arcuate or arcuate fold line intersecting at two points so as to define a half-moon shaped panel between each other.
本文所稱「折疊線」可指下列其中一種:一刻痕線、一凸(embossed)線、一凹(debossed)線、一列的穿孔、一列的短縫、一列的半切口、單一的半切口、一斷續的切割線、一列的對齊裂縫、一列的刻痕、及其任一組合等。A "fold line" as used herein may refer to one of the following: a score line, an embossed line, a debossed line, a row of perforations, a row of short seams, a row of half-cuts, a single half-cut, An intermittent cut line, a column of aligned slits, a column of nicks, any combination thereof, etc.
另應瞭解的是,鉸接部與折疊線能各自包括在該胚片的該基板上所形成的元件,例如穿孔、一列的穿孔、一列的短縫、一列的半切口、單一的半切口、一切割線、一斷續的切割線、裂縫、刻痕、凸線、凹線、及其任一組合等。該等元件可按意欲發揮的功能而定其尺寸與配置。例如,一列的穿孔在尺寸或設計上可設成具有能界定出一折疊線和/或一切斷線的弱化度。另外,該列的穿孔可設計成易於彎折及耐抗斷裂,易於彎折及多用些力量即易於斷裂,或稍用些力量即易於斷裂。It should also be appreciated that hinges and fold lines can each comprise elements formed on the substrate of the web, such as perforations, a row of perforations, a row of slits, a row of half-cuts, a single half-cut, a A cut line, an intermittent cut line, a slit, a notch, a convex line, a concave line, any combination thereof, etc. These elements can be sized and arranged according to the intended function. For example, a row of perforations may be sized or designed with a degree of weakening that defines a fold line and/or a cut line. In addition, the perforations of the row can be designed to be easy to bend and resistant to breaking, easy to bend and easy to break with a little force, or easy to break with a little force.
本文所稱「對準」係指將一組立紙箱中的二個或以上元件對齊,例如將兩片疊合板片中的一第一片之上形成一的孔口與一第二片之上形成的一第二孔口對齊。彼此對準的那些元件可以是朝著該等疊合板片的厚度方向相互對齊。例如,當一第一板片上的孔口一跟設成與該第一板片疊合之一第二板片上的一第二孔口「對準」時,該孔口的一邊緣可沿著該第二孔口至少一部份的一邊緣延伸,並可朝著該等第一及第二板片的厚度方向與該第二孔口對齊。"Alignment" as used herein refers to the alignment of two or more components in a set of vertical cartons, for example, the opening formed on the first sheet of the two laminated sheets and the opening formed on the second sheet Align with a second orifice. Those elements that are aligned with each other may be aligned with each other towards the thickness of the laminated sheets. For example, when an aperture in a first sheet is "aligned" with a second aperture in a second sheet configured to overlap the first sheet, an edge of the aperture may be along the An edge of at least a portion of the second opening extends and is aligned with the second opening toward the thickness direction of the first and second plates.
