Description
- This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 09/595,502, filed Jun. 16, 2000, entitled “BATTERY PACKAGE WITH ROTATION PREVENTION.”
- The present invention generally relates to packages for displaying products for sale and, more particularly, to a display package for containing cylindrical products, such as batteries, for display to consumers while preventing rotation of the products within the package.
- A common practice for packaging and displaying small and lightweight retail items, such as cylindrical alkaline batteries, is to package the items in thermoformed blister packages and place the packages on shelves or hang the packages on hooks on various display racks. Conventional battery packages are generally composed of a display card which provides a generally stiff supportive backing, usually composed of cardboard, and a thermoformed polymeric blister that is bonded or otherwise attached to the display card. The display card provides support for displaying the merchandise for sale and usually contains print with suitable indicia, such as advertising, trademarks, and instructions.
- With battery display packages, batteries of the same size are commonly made available to consumers for purchase in a package containing a predetermined number of batteries. The batteries are displayed and sold in blister-type packages which usually contain two, four, or eight batteries commonly packaged in each display package. In accordance with one battery packaging approach, the thermoformed blister generally comprises a piece of transparent polymeric material, e.g., plastic, heat sealed to the front side of the display card. According to another approach, a clam-type thermoformed polymeric blister generally having a shape to fit over and cover the batteries is supported on the cardboard display card. The clam-type polymeric blister typically has two pieces, each having a peripheral flange glued between the two layers of the cardboard of the display card. The blister isolates the product from the purchaser and prevents inadvertent damage to the product that can result from repeated handling prior to sale. Moreover, the blister allows for the orderly display of products for sale to purchasers.
- In order to maximize marketability of the product, it is desirable to orient some products, such as cylindrical alkaline batteries, within the blister package so that the graphics printed on the product label are readily recognized and appear more attractive to consumers, especially when the products are packaged in clear (transparent) blister packages. In the past, some battery packaging techniques have employed a registration mark on each battery so that the batteries can be disposed in the blister package in a desired orientation so as to maxinize display of the label print. However, once oriented in the blister package, the batteries should be retained in the desired orientation, and therefore rotation of batteries should be prevented.
- One approach for packaging batteries in a blister package having a blister bonded to a backing card and preventing rotation of the batteries is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,311,989. The aforementioned patent discloses employing protrusions formed in the end walls of the blister pockets that engage the positive and negative terminals of the batteries to prevent rotation of the batteries within the package, and further allows for engagement of batteries which may have varying sizes. The aforementioned approach requires complex retention features formed in the end walls of the pockets which may complicate the blister manufacturing process. Additionally, the retention features may be susceptible to excessive deformation.
- Accordingly, there is a need, heretofore unfulfilled, for a product display package for displaying cylindrical products for sale to consumers while preventing rotation of the products. It is particularly desirable to provide for a battery display blister package that houses cylindrical batteries while preventing rotation of the batteries so as to maximize display of the label print indicia to consumers.
- The present invention provides for a product display package that houses generally cylindrical products and prevents rotation of the products within the package. To achieve this and other advantages, and in accordance with the purpose of the present invention as embodied and described herein, the present invention provides for a product display package comprising a container having a housing defining a compartment adapted to house one or more products. The container includes at least one pocket, and preferably has a plurality of substantially parallel pockets. Each pocket has first and second ends and side walls extending between the first and second ends with a length and a width configured to receive a generally cylindrical product. The first and second ends each include an inward protruding retaining member integrally formed in the pocket and configured to engage a surface on the product to bias the product toward the side walls. The retaining members are adapted to engage depressions in the ends of the product to hold the product in place and prevent rotation of the product. According to one aspect of the present invention, one or more depressions are formed in the side wall of the pocket and are adapted to engage the cylindrical side walls of the product. According to another aspect of the present invention, the container includes a peripheral flange that engages the main body of a display card such that the container is closed against the main body of the display card.
- These and other features and advantages of the present invention will be further understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art by reference to the following specification, claims and appended drawings.

However, it is to be understood that the invention may assume various alternative orientations and step sequences, except where expressly specified to the contrary. It is also to be understood that the specific devices illustrated in the attached drawings, and described in the following specification are simply exemplary embodiments of the inventive concepts defined in the appended claims. Hence, specific dimensions and physical characteristics relating to the embodiments disclosed herein are not to be considered as limiting, unless the claims expressly state otherwise.
- Referring to FIG. 1, a
product display package 10 is shown packaging a plurality of cylindrical batteries, such as AA-size batteries 22, for display and sale to consumers in a retail store according to one embodiment. Theproduct display package 10 shown houses four cylindrical AA-size batteries 22, according to one example, in a combination display card and reclosable blister merchandise container. While a battery blister package is shown and described herein, it should be appreciated that the present invention provides a product display package that may house generally cylindrical products of various sizes and numbers, which may include batteries as well as other types of products, without departing from the spirit of the present invention. - The
product display package 10 includes adisplay card 12 having a substantially planar main body, and a polymericblister merchandise container 30 supported by thedisplay card 12. Thedisplay card 12 is made up of two layers of material, including a rear layer of cardboard 14 bonded to a front layer ofcardboard 16.Layers layers Display card 12 generally includes a lower edge, two vertical side edges on the left and right sides, and a rounded upper edge. Formed near the upper edge ofdisplay card 12 is acutout aperture 18 which allows thedisplay card 12 to be hung from a hook on a display rack. In addition, thedisplay card 12 may contain print with indicia such as advertising, trademarks, and instructions, as is commonly practiced in the art. - The
merchandise container 30 as shown in this embodiment is a reclosable and reusable transparent thermoformed blister container that houses battery products. Themerchandise container 30 has aperipheral flange 38 formed around a perimeter of the main housing compartment and extending radially outward. Theperipheral flange 38 is sandwiched between the rear andfront layers display card 12.Merchandise container 30 extends through an aperture formed in the front layer or, alternately, in both the front andrear layers display card 12. Theperipheral flange 38 is sandwiched between rear andfront layers display card 12. Accordingly,merchandise container 30 is trapped in place between the front andrear layers display card 12, prior to thedisplay card 12 being torn open. - The
product display package 10 is further shown in FIG. 2 with theblister merchandise container 30 removed from thedisplay card 12. According to one example, atab 20 may be torn along perforations in therear layer 14 ofdisplay card 12 to allow for removal ofcontainer 30 fromdisplay card 12. As shown, each of thebatteries 22 is oriented in a desired orientation within theblister container 30. Thebatteries 22 may be oriented and disposed within theblister container 30 in accordance with known orientation techniques. Theblister merchandise container 30 fixedly holds each of thebatteries 22 in place to prevent movement of thebatteries 22 relative to theblister container 30 following package assembly. Accordingly, each of thebatteries 22 may remain oriented in a desired orientation to provide abattery package 10 that is aesthetically pleasing to consumers and has the maximum positive impact on consumers. - Each of the
batteries 22 shown generally has a steel can containing electrochemically active materials. The battery can generally has a closed bottom end, cylindrical side walls, and an open top end sealed closed with a cover and seal assembly as is well-known in the battery manufacturing art. The battery also has a label applied to the outer cylindrical walls of the can as is generally known in the battery art. The battery label preferably includes print containing suitable indicia, such as advertising, trademarks, and instructions, and may further include a battery tester, as shown byreference numeral 26, or other viewable features. A substantial amount of space on the battery label may contain print so as to maximize use of the battery label space to advertise the product and provide packaged products that are aesthetically pleasing to consumers. It is desirable to orient thebatteries 22 to display certain features on the label. For example, some of the batteries may be oriented to display the brand name and logo in the region identified byreference numeral 24, while one ormore batteries 22 may be oriented to display thebattery tester 26. Thepackage 10 of the present invention prevents thebatteries 22 from rotating from the orientation of the batteries as packaged. - The
blister merchandise container 30 is further shown in FIG. 3. Themerchandise container 30 includes afront base housing 34 and arear lid 36 connected via an integrally formedhinge 40 that allows for pivoting of thelid 36 relative to thebase housing 34.Rear lid 36 has a partially planarrear surface 42 that is substantially flush mounted against therear layer 16 ofdisplay card 12. Integrally formed in therear lid 36 is a generally rectangularupstanding wall 44 which defines a cavity with compartment pockets 46 formed therein for receiving the rear surface of generally cylindrical products, such as batteries. - The
front base housing 34 has a partiallyplanar member 55 with a generally rectangular recessedwall 54 that forms molded front compartment pockets 52 which, together with rear compartment pockets 46, contain products therein. Compartment pockets 52 form an outward protruding surface and substantially conform to the size and shape of the products, such asbatteries 22. Theplanar members merchandise container 30 is closed. In addition, therear lid 36 has a round, disk-like, protrudingmale member 48 adapted to fit into rectangularfemale receptacle 58 formed infront base housing 34. Together, theround male member 48 and rectangularfemale receptacle 58 form a snap-fit closure. It should be appreciated that theupstanding wall 44 is generally rectangular and is adapted to be received by generally rectangular recessedwall 54 to form an interference fit closure of thecontainer 30. The addition of the snap-fit closure provides an added means of closure and also serves as an identifier to let consumers know thatmerchandise container 30 is reclosable and reusable. Themerchandise container 30 may be configured with the interference fit closure between thefront base housing 34 andrear lid 36, with or without the snap-fit closure. - The
front base housing 34 ofmerchandise container 30 includes a plurality of substantiallyparallel pockets 52, such as the four pockets shown for holding four AA-size batteries, respectively. Thepockets 52 are generally formed each having a length and a width configured to receive a correspondingbattery 22.Adjacent pockets 52 are separated via an integrally formeddivider 60. Eachpocket 52 includes anoutward protrusion 70 for receiving the positive terminal nubbin ofbattery 22. In addition, aninward protrusion 72 is formed in each pocket at one end and is adapted to engage the positive terminal at a location near the rim of thebattery 22. At the opposite end of eachpocket 52 is aninward protrusion 74 which is adapted to engage a depression near the rim of the negative terminal ofbattery 22.Inward protrusions battery 22 withinpocket 52 so as to prevent rotation of thebattery 22 relative to thecorresponding pocket 52. According to the embodiment shown, theinward protrusions batteries 20 is prevented so as to maintain the desired packaged orientation for display to consumers. - Referring to FIG. 4, the engagement of
inward protrusions battery 22 is further illustrated therein. Thebattery 22 has a positiveterminal nubbin 80 disposed within a greater sizeoutward protrusion 70 formed in one end ofpocket 52. Theinward protrusion 72 engages the positive terminal near the end oflabel 86, and may engage a depression formed at the end oflabel 86. Likewise, at the negative end ofbattery 22,inward protrusion 74 engages adepression 84 formed in the negative terminal ofbattery 22. Together,inward protrusions battery 22 can be inserted into thepocket 52 and forcibly snapped into place such thatinward protrusions battery 22 so as to hold thebattery 22 against the polymeric blister with an interference fit, and thereby prevent rotation ofbattery 22 relative topocket 52. When eachbattery 22 is forcibly snapped into position within thepocket 52, the ends ofpocket 52 flex outward to allow the battery terminals to slide acrossprotrusions - As is particularly shown in both FIGS. 4 and 5,
batteries 22 are held in place at opposite ends viaprotrusions inward protrusions batteries 22 within the package. For the AA-size battery package shown,inward protrusion 72 engages the positive terminal (cover) ofbattery 22 between a protrudingannular rim 82 and thecentral nubbin 80 of the positive terminal. Theinward protrusion 72 preferably contacts the end oflabel 86. Theinward protrusion 74 engages adepression 85 in the negative cover ofbattery 22 between a protrudingannular rim 84 and the central region of the negative cover. Theprotrusion 74 preferably contacts the inward edge ofannular rim 84 such that the side walls of the battery are pressed against theblister pocket 52. Accordingly, the opposite ends (positive and negative ends) of eachbattery 22 are held in contact with the blister package and the side walls are forced against the blister material to prevent rotation ofbattery 22 relative to the blister package. - The
inward protrusions 78 formed in rear compartment pockets 46 of therear lid 36 are spaced apart and are adapted to engage the side walls ofbatteries 22 whenrear lid 36 is closed againstbase housing 34.Inward protrusions 78 are adapted to apply a force onto the side walls ofbatteries 22 to further bias thebatteries 22 against the blister material and further aid to prevent rotation of eachbattery 22. By providinginward protrusions 78 to engage eachbattery 22, consistent friction engagement with the side walls ofbattery 22 is ensured, despite small variations in the blister materials or battery size and flexure of the blister material. Theinward protrusions 78 are preferably spaced apart and are located such as not to interfere with the battery tester on the label. - The elongated
inward protrusions 76 formed in the upper and lower recessedwalls 75 offront base housing 54 are adapted to abut thebatteries 22 in the uppermost and lowermost end pockets 52. A first pair ofprotrusions 76 are located slightly below thehinge 40 to counteract the outward bowing of the blister walls which may occur when therear lid 36 of the blister is closed over and secured to thebase housing 34 of the blister. The lower side wall on the opposite end of thehinge 40 also includes a second pair of elongatedinward protrusions 76 that oppose the first pair of indentations. While a total of four elongatedinward protrusions 76 are shown, it should be appreciated that one or more elongatedinward protrusions 76 may be formed in theside walls 75 offront base housing 34 belowhinge 40, with or with one ormore protrusions 76 in the opposite side wall. - Turning to FIG. 6, a polymeric
