CONTAINER Filed Sept. 8. 1933 Patented -Jam 8, 1935 CONTAINER George W. Hinton, Menasha, Wis., assignor to Menasha Wooden Ware Corporation, Menasha, Wis.,' a corporation of Wisconsin Application September 8,1933, Serial No. 688,588
2 Claims. (01. 223-52) This invention relates to containers and more particularly'to containers made of paper board or corrugated paper board, and has particularreference to a paper board container which is particularly designed for the carrying of bottled beverages.
The main objects of the invention are to provide an improved handle construction for facilitating carrying of the container with its contents;
to provide an improved end closing arrangement for the container; to provide a container construction which is adapted to serve, with reasonable efficiency, as a refrigerating chamber for contents such as bottled beverages; and in general, it is the object of the invention to provide an improved container of the class referred to.
' Other objects and advantages of the invention will be understood by reference to the following specification and the accompanying drawing, wherein there is illustrated the top portion of a container embodying a selected form of the invention.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a plan of a portion of a foldable blank foriorming a container embodying the present invention.
Fig. 2 is a perspective of the container set up and with one end partially closed, and v Fig. 3 is a perspective of the same end of the container fully closed.
Referring now to the drawing, a paper blank'is illustratedin Fig. 1 as being scored along the lines designated 4, so as to divide the blank into four side-wall sections designated 5, 6, '1 and 8, respectively. The wall sections are adapted to be folded along the lines 4120 form a rectangular, tubular container body and the meeting edges of the walls 5 and 8 are joined in any suitable manner, for example, by means of a tape strip 9.
The blank is also scored along a line indicated at 10, to form top flaps 5a, 6a, 7a and 8a, respectively, extending from the side walls 5, 6, 7 and 8. The flaps 5a and 7a are each provided with an extension 5b and 7b, respectively, which are apertured as illustrated to form a handle member. The handle parts 5b and 7b are foldable relative to the top flaps from. which they extend along scored lines indicated at 1 1. The handle members 5b and 7b are provided with edgewise projecting lips as indicated at 50 and 7c, respectively, these lips serving a purpose which will presently appear. The top flaps 6a and 8a are slotted as shown at 6b and 8b.
When the blank is folded to form the rectangular, tubular body as previously explained, the top flaps 5a and'la are next folded inwardly over the end of the container, to form an inner end closure therefor. folded upwardly from the respective flaps, substantially at right-angles thereto, so as to be disfinished appearance.
The handle elements 5b-and'7b are posed in juxtaposition, as shown in Figs. 2 aifl 3. As shown, the flaps 5a and 7a are of a dimension such that they each cover approximately one-half of the end of the container and such that the handle-forming members extend upwardly approximately midway between the opposite sides 5 and 7. The flap 8a is next folded inwardly over the inner closure, thehandle meinbers then project through the slot 8b, and the flap 6a is thereafter folded inwardly over the flap 8a so that the handle members project through the slot 6?). As clearly shown in Fig. 3, the lips 50 and 7c are arranged to project beyond the end of the slot 6b so as to overlie a portion of the flap 6a thereby to maintain the flaps in folded or closed position. It will be understood that the inherent resiliency and flexibility of paper board or corrugated paper board permits the flap 6a. to be folded into the locked position described and permits the lips to expand or spring over the flap member 6a when folded to its closed position, as shown in Fig. 3.
It will be apparent that the described construction results in a three-ply top closure, the first ply being formed of the flaps 5a and 7a which constitute the inner closure, the second ply comprising the fiap 8a and the third ply comprising the flap 6a. The flap 6a is preferably rounded at its free end as indicated at 6c, to provide a neatly The bottom construction may be of any suitable form,.but it is preferred to use a niulti-ply, selflocking bottomstructure, substantially as illustrated in my co-pending application, Serial No. 563,566, filed September 18, 1931.
For carrying bottled beverages, any suitable form of partition arrangement may be provided if desired, and because of the insulating qualities of corrugated board, dry ice may be placed in the container with the bottled goods to chill and maintain the same cold until consumed. The multi-ply construction of the top and bottom ends referred to is particularly desirable-because of its great strength, and because it tends to counteract the thermal leakage incident to the folded construction of the ends.
Changes in the described construction may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention,'the scope of which should be determined by reference to the following claims, the same being construed as broadly as possible consistent with the state of the art.
I claim as my invention:
1. In a' container of the class described, the combination of side walls forming a tubular body of rectangular cross-section, top-forming flaps extending from the upper ends of said side walls,
one pair of oppositely disposed flaps being adapted to be bent inwardly to form an inner closure for thecontainer end and one of said closure flaps having a handle-forming part extending upwardly therefrom, the other pair of oppositely disposed flaps being adapted to be folded inwardly over said inner closure to form an outer closure, said outer closure flaps being provided with slots for receiving said handle forming part, and the latter being provided adjacent the flap from which it extends with a lip adapted to lockingly engage a portion of said outer closure to lock the same in closed position, said lip being of less height than that of said handle part and projecting edgewise beyond the normal width ofthe same.
2. In a container of the class described, the combination of side walls forming a tubular body of rectangular cross-section, top-forming flaps extending from the upper ends of said side walls,
one pair of oppositely disposed flaps being adapted to be bent inwardly to form an inner closure for the container end and said closure flaps having handle forming parts extending upwardly therefrom adjacent each other, the other pair of oppositely disposed flaps being adapted to be folded inwardly over said inner closure to form an outer closure, said outer closure flaps being provided with slots for receiving said handleforming parts, and the latter being provided with lips adapted to lockingly engage a portion of said outer closure to lock the same in closed position, said lips being of less height than that of said handle parts and projecting edgewise beyond the normal width of the same.
