Definitions

  • This invention relates to collapsible packaging such as cartons and the like which are generally formed from blanks formed from a substantially rigid sheet material whereby the blanks are folded to form a carton.
  • the cartons to which the invention relates are used in a wide variety of circumstances and one particular example of the application of the cartons relates to the forms of packaging used with take-away food items. It is a common characteristic of such cartons that they are not capable of accommodating liquid contents without the utilisation of a supplementary containment means. As a result, in the event of any spillage within the carton the liquid contents of the carton will leak and can create an undesirable circumstance for customers.
  • the invention resides in a collapsible carton which is formed from a blank which when formed from the blank is capable of being folded between a folded flat condition and an erect condition whereby when in the erect condition the carton has a floor, two opposed end panels and two opposed side panels to define a liquid tight generally rectangular closed prismatic shaped space, the end panels and the side panels having substantially the same height, wherein the floor panel is formed of a single panel and the junction between the floor and each of the end panels and each of the side panel is defined by a closed fold line therebetween, the end panels each having a pair of first diagonal fold lines extending from the junction between the sides of the floor and the sides of the respective end panel and converging to terminate at a transverse central axis of the end panel, said first diagonal fold lines being substantially perpendicular to each other, said end panels have a height being equal to or greater than the termination of the diagonals, wherein the floor is provided with a first central fold line which is substantially centrally located and which extends between the end panels and is
  • said floor panel and said junction between floor panel and each of said end panels and side panels lie on a common plane.
  • the termination of the diagonals defines the height of the side panel.
  • the carton is formed from a blank where the end and side panels are each hingedly supported from the edge of the floor through a fold line.
  • the adjacent sides of adjacent end and side panels are interconnected by a web having an edge which is substantially at 45° to the adjacent edges of the adjacent end and side panels and which has a further diagonal fold line extending from the junction of the adjacent end and side panels which bisects the angle therebetween.
  • the side panels are hingedly supported from the floor and the end panels are hingedly supported from the side panels.
  • one end panel is supported from one of the side panels and the other end panel is supported from the other side panel.
  • each side panel supports a portion of an end panel whereby the portions of the end panels co-operate to define the end panels when the blank is folded to an erect condition.

  • FIGS. 28 a to 28 g illustrate the assembly of a carton according to the sixth embodiment from the blank shown at FIG. 27 .
  • Each of the embodiments are directed to cartons which are formed from a stiff sheet material such as cardboard where the sheet material is formed into a blank and which can be folded to form a carton whereby when the carton has been formed it can be readily folded into a substantially flat condition and can be subsequently erected from the folded flat condition to provide a carton defining a liquid tight generally rectangular prismatic shaped space whereby the junctions between the floor panel and the side panels and end panels and the junctions between the end panels and the side panels are closed and are resistant to the leakage of the contents.
  • the formed carton may initially take the form of the folded carton which can then be erected into the carton when it is required.
  • it may initially take the form of the erected carton to be then capable of being folded into a substantially flat condition for transportation and/or storage and subsequent unfolding into an erected carton when required.
  • a significant feature of each of the embodiments relates to the closure of the cartons. This is achieved through extension panels to each of the side panels and end panels where the extension panels have substantially the same height and adjacent extension panels are interconnected at the adjacent edges.
  • the extension panels on each of the end panels are capable of folding about the junction with the respective end panel and about diagonal fold lines in the extension panel. This will result in the folded extension panel extending laterally from the respective end panel and as a ether result the extension panels on the side panels will have been caused to have hinged about their junction with the respective side panel to overlie the space defined by the carton. It has been found that because of the construction of the carton where end panels, the side panels and the floor panel are all closed or fully joined (i.e.
  • this bias force is believed to arise from tension within the panels created due to the junctions of the panels being closed or fully joined.

  • Each of the end panels 12 and 13 and each of the side panels 14 and 15 are provided with an outer extension panel 16 , 17 , 18 and 19 respectively which when the carton is erected combine to provide the closure for the carton.
  • Each of the end panels 12 and 13 and the side panels 14 and 15 are formed integrally with the floor panel 11 and are connected to the floor panel 11 by a fold line whereby they can be folded to be substantially perpendicular to the floor panel 11 which will bring their adjacent side edges into abutment with each other.
  • the side edges of the side panels 14 and 15 and their extension panels 18 and 19 are provided with glue flaps 20 which are adapted to be able to overlie the edge portions of the inner faces of the adjacent end panels 12 and 13 and their respective extension panels 16 and 17 when the side panels and end panels are folded along their fold line with the floor panel 11 as described above.
  • the glue flaps 20 may be rendered self adherent such that they will adhere to the edge portions of end panels 12 or 13 or may have an adhesive applied thereto prior to folding to effect such adhesion. As a result of the fixing of the glue flaps 20 to the end panels 12 and 13 and their respective extension panels 16 and 17 the junctions between the end panels 12 and 13 and the side panels 14 and 15 and between the respective extension panels are sky closed.
  • Each of the end panels 12 and 13 are provided with a pair of first diagonal fold lines 21 and 22 which extend from the junction between the adjacent edges of the end panel and the adjacent side panel and terminate at the central axis of the end panel whereby the diagonal fold lines 21 and 22 are perpendicular to each other.
  • the floor panel 11 is provided with a first central fold line 23 which is centrally located and extends between the end panels 12 and 13 .

  • FIG. 2 illustrates the carton partially erected where one end panel 12 and its extension panel 16 has been folded with the adjacent side panel 14 and its extension panel 18 to be perpendicular to the floor panel 11 .
  • the glue flaps 20 on the side panels 14 and 15 and their extension panels 18 and 19 are then bonded to the respective end panels 12 and 13 and their extension panels 16 and 17 to define a substantially cubic carton as shown at FIG. 3 where the extension panels 16 , 17 , 18 and 19 are open.

  • the carton When the carton is in the erected condition as shown at FIG. 3 the carton can be closed by causing the second diagonal fold lines to fold such that the inner faces of the extensions 17 and 16 end panels to each side of the second diagonal fold lines 25 and 26 fold inwardly about the second diagonal fold lines towards each other as shown at FIG. 4 .
  • the extensions 17 and 16 of the end panels fold outward from each end of the carton which serves to bring the extensions 18 and 19 on the side panels 14 and 15 towards each other to overlie the space created by the carton between the floor panel, the side panels and the end panels.
  • the folded extensions of the end panels can then be folded downwardly about the fold line defined between the junction of each end panel 12 and 13 and its respective extension 16 and 17 whereby the folded extension lies closely adjacent and substantially parallel to the outer face of the respective end panel as shown at FIG. 5 .
