The present invention provides for the safe" shipment of various sizes of such articles in the same carton and requires only the substitution of certain parts which form an insignificant portion of the whole structure. The invention therefore consists in the novel construction as hereinafter set forth.
In the drawings: 8
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through a carton of my improved construction;
Figure 2 is a cross section through a por tion thereof;
Figure 3 is a plan view of one of the retainer strips;
Figure 4 is a perspective view showing the interior structure of the carton partly broken away.
In the present state of the art cartons formed of single or double faced corrugated paper or fiber board are very extensively used in the shipment of fra ile articles such as glassware. To insure sa ety from impact or Jar 1t 1s qulte usual to provide trays or pa s which separate the inner wall of the carton from the outer wall on all sides. It is, however, necessary to provide means for holding the individual articles separate from each other and from movement within the carton which is accom lished by division partitions forming a p urality of separate cells, each of dimensions corresponding to the article to be placed therein. Therefore it is necessary to provide as many different constructions of cells as there are different sizes of articles to be packed therein.
With my im roved construction instead of varying the dimensions of the cells; I have provided means for holding the individual articles in fixed position within the cells even where the dimensions of the two are-very different, the specific construction being as follows:
The outer carton may be of any suitable construction preferably a rectangular box A formed from a single scored blank of corrugated board folded to form continuous side and end walls and overlapping flaps for bottom and top. Within this outer box is placed an inner structure comprising longitudinal partitions B and cross partitions 0 each being slotted through substantially one-half its width at suitable points whereby these partitions when engaged will form a series of separate cells. The longitudinal partitions B are ofa height corresponding to the sides of the outer receptacle but the cross partitions are of a lesser height to provide space beneath the same for 'padsor trays D. These trays or pads are supported upon depending side fianges D and are therefore spaced from the bottom of the outer recep-' tacle.
Instead of making'the cellular structure just described in various different sizes to correspond to the dimensions of the articles to be packed, I form a standard construction in which the cells are of a sufficient size to receive articles of maximum dimensions. Thus if the carton is used for the shipment of glass tumblers the cells are of a width which will take a tumbler of maximum diameter and of a height to receive a tumbler of maximum height. Where, however, the carton is used for the shipment of small size tumblers, these are held centrally within each cell by the following construction:
E is a member preferably formed from a sheet of corrugated board which is placed on top of the tray or pad D and which is provided with a series of circular apertures therein corresponding in diameter to the tumblers, preferably the upper end thereof. To hold the tumblers in engagement with this member, a strip F also preferably formed of corrugated board, is engaged with a series of aligned slots inthe cross partitions C so asto extend centrally throughout the entire longitudinal series of cells. This strip may be cut to various widths selected to exactly correspond with the distance between the updividing the same into a series of separate per end of the tumblers and the cover of the carton. The slots G in the partitions C in which the strips F are placed are of suflicient distance so as to extend lower than the upper end of the tumblers of the smallest size or height and therefore any strip suitable for engagement with tumblers of any size between maximum and minimum heights may be placed in the same cellular structure.
With the construction just described the shipper may keep in stock only the standard size of outer boxes and inner cellular structure, supplemented by apertured strips E corresponding to the various diameters of tumblers and holding down strips F corresponding to various heights of tumbler-s. -These supplementary strips can be made at small cost and occupy very little storage space as compared with the holding in stock of differ. ent size cellular structures to correspond to the different sizes of articles to be packed.
What I claim as my invention is: 1. In a carton, the combination with an outer receptacle and an inner structure formed of longitudinal and cross partitions forming a series of separate cells, of a strip extending beneath a series of cells recessed to receive the articles in the individual cells, and a strip engaging registering slots in the partitions between cells, of a width corresponding to the dimension between the top of the outer receptacle and the tops of the articles within the cells to hold saidarticles in engagement with said recesses.
2. In a carton, the combination with an outer receptacle, of an inner structure formed of longitudinal and cross partitions slotted to engage each other and to divide the space into a series of cells, the longitudinal partitions being of a height equal to the height within the outer receptacle and the cross partitions being of lesser height, a supporting tray or pad Within the central receptacle extending beneath the cross partitions, a strip above said tray or pad extending longitudinally thereof and apertured to register with the individual cells and to form recesses for engaging the individual articles in said cells, and a strip engaging registering slots in said cross partitions and extendingcentrally of eachof a series of cells, said strip being of a height corresponding to the dimension between the upper end' of the'individual arti- 55 cles in the cells and the top of the outer re- 3. In a carton,'.the combination with anouter receptacle and an inner structure .for
cells of retaining means comprising a strip extending longitudinally of said carton,
apertured to register with the individual cells to form recesses for engaging the individual 5 articles in said cells, and means associated into a series of cells, of retaining means com-- ,prising means supported longitudinally'beneath the cross partitions for engaging the individual articles in said cells, and a verti-- cally arranged strip engaging registering centrally of each of a series of cells, said stri being of a height corresponding to the d1- mension between the upper end of the individual articles in the cells and under surface of the top of the outer receptacle whereby said individual articles are held centrally within their respective cells. 7
5. In a carton, the combination with an outer structure and an inner receptacle formed of longitudinal cross partitions slotted to engage each other and to divide the space into axseries of cells, of retaining means comprising a vertically arranged strip engaging registering slots in said cross parti tions and extending centrally of each of a series of cells, said strip being of a height corresponding to the dimension between the upper end of the individual articles in the cells and the top of the outer receptacle whereby said individual articles are held against the bottom of their respective cells.
In testimony whereof I aifix my signature.
