Definitions

  • This invention relates to cartons, and more specifically to a basket style distribution carrier having reinforced end handles and a rigid medial beam.
  • Plastic trays are often used to transport multiple articles to a location where the articles are disposed for individual handling.
  • plastic trays are used to transport beverage containers such as cans or bottles to points of purchase such as retail establishments or vending machines for sale as individual articles.
  • plastic trays require extensive handling after they have been unloaded. Typically, the trays must be transported back to the place of loading, must be stored, and may have to be cleansed before being used again. Oftentimes, the plastic trays are lost or inadvertently left at the point of sale.
  • the various embodiments of the present invention overcome the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a collapsible basket style carrier that can be formed, for example, from a sheet of paperboard.
  • the basket style carrier is particularly well suited for distribution applications, having a rigid medial beam that provides structural integrity and reinforced end walls with integral slot handles that fortify the ends of the carrier for carrying multiple articles in, for example, a single tiered configuration that is convenient for distribution.
  • these features fortify the carrier without the need for utilizing extra material in the sides or bottom of the carrier.
  • the basket style carrier includes a bottom wall, a pair of opposed side walls, a pair of opposed end walls, a medial beam extending between the end walls, and a slot handle in each of the end walls.
  • the medial beam and the manner in which the medial beam, the end walls, and the bottom wall are connected gives the carrier structural integrity.
  • the basket style carrier can also include lateral dividers that extend from the medial beam to the side walls to define compartments for receiving articles such as bottles.
  • a composite partition is connected to each of the end walls and the medial beam is connected to each of the composite partitions.
  • each end wall includes a pair of side end flaps that are hingedly connected to the side walls and extend toward one another such that their distal edges are adjacent one another.
  • Each composite partition includes a pair of partition panels that are secured to one another. Each partition panel is hingedly connected to a distal edge of a respective one of the side end flaps.
  • a corner aperture is defined in each of the side end flaps and together the corner apertures provide a substantially continuous slot handle. In certain embodiments, the corner apertures interrupt the hinged connection between the side end flaps and the respective partition panels such that the composite partitions do not substantially interrupt the slot handles.
  • each of the end walls further includes a bottom end flap and a pair of reinforcing sections.
  • the bottom end flap is hingedly connected to the bottom wall, is in flat face contact with the outside surfaces of the side end flaps, and includes a reinforcing aperture that is positioned to align with the corner apertures to further provide the slot handle.
  • the reinforcing sections are hingedly connected to the distal edge of the bottom end flap, are in flat face contact with the inside surfaces of the side end flaps, and have a cutout therebetween that is aligned with the medial beam and composite portion. The cutout is shaped to align with the corner apertures and further provide the slot handle.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of a blank for forming an article carrier according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGS. 2-4 are plan views of the blank of FIG. 1 that illustrate various steps according to an exemplary method of folding the blank.
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of an article carrier having been partially erected from the blank of FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the article carrier of FIG. 5 , having been fully erected.
  • FIG. 7 is a side elevational view of the article carrier of FIG. 6 , having been loaded with beverage bottles.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates certain of the various aspects of an exemplary embodiment of a basket style article carrier.
  • the basket style article carrier will be described in the context of an application involving the transportation of beverage bottles for retail distribution, although it is contemplated that such an article carrier can be used for any suitable application.
  • the article carrier that is illustrated and described is a lower cost and potentially disposable alternative to reusable plastic trays that are commonly used by truck drivers distributing individual beverage bottles that are destined to be placed in vending or point of purchase or retail display cases, refrigerated cases, and the like.
  • the basket style article carrier 200 ( FIGS. 6 and 7 ) includes a medial beam M that enhances its structural integrity, while providing a slot handle H in one or both of its end walls 202 , 204 , the slot handle H being reinforced by being formed from cooperating apertures, notches, cutouts and the like formed in three or more plies of material that make up at least part of the respective end wall 202 , 204 , as will be described in more detail below.
  • the exemplary article carrier 200 is formed from a blank 100 that is preferably struck from a single sheet of foldable material, such as, but not limited to, paperboard, cardstock, cardboard, plastic sheet, and the like. The inside surface is shown in the figure.
  • the blank 100 includes a number of panels, each foldably or hingedly connected one to another as needed to define the features of the article carrier 200 once the blank has been folded, arranged, secured, and otherwise configured into its finished or erected form.
  • unfolded fold lines are illustrated as dashed lines and severance lines are illustrated as solid lines.
  • the blank 100 includes a bottom panel 102 hingedly connected along a fold line 104 to a first side panel 106 .
