Abstract
Description
- This invention relates generally to display type containers and container blanks. More specifically, this present invention relates to a single piece container having an exposed display area in the front of the container.
- This invention is best understood from the following detailed descriptions when read in connection with the accompanying drawings. It is emphasized that according to common practice, various features of the drawings are not to scale. On the contrary, the dimensions of various features are arbitrarily expanded or reduced clarity. Included in these drawings are the following figures.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an exemplary single piece box blank made in accordance with aspects of this invention; -
FIG. 2 is an exemplary partially erected view of the single piece box blank arrangement ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is another perspective view of a partially erected box blank arrangement ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 4 is another perspective view of a partially erected box blank arrangement ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 5 is another perspective view of a partially erected box blank arrangement ofFIG. 1 ; and, -
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the formed single piece container depicted from the blank ofFIG. 1 . - The present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention is directed to a single piece blank 20 that is cut and scored to forms a container 50. The single piece container 50 is convenient for imparting strength and stability while allowing the container 50 to hold and easily dispense a variety of products (not shown). One suitable embodiment of the container blank 20 and resulting container 50 is described in more particularity below.
-
FIG. 1 depicts a blank 20 used to form a container 50. The blank 20 is typically constructed from a single piece of formable material such as, without limitation, sheets of cellulose-based material formed from cellulose materials such as wood pulps, straw, cotton, bagasse, or the like. Cellulose-based materials used in the present invention may come in many forms, such as fiberboard, containerboard, corrugated containerboard and paperboard. However, it will be appreciated that the single piece of formable material may be constructed from other material as well, such as, without limitation, a polymer based material. The polymer based material may be in the form of a sheet of plastic material, or a sheet of corrugated plastic material. - The blank 20 is cut and scored, perforated or otherwise formed into a plurality of panels that, when assembled, form container 50. In all FIGURES, like numbers indicate like parts; additionally, cut lines are shown as solid lines, score lines as dashed lines, and lines of perforation as broken lines. For the purposes of further description herein, the downward direction is defined as a direction perpendicular to the
first bottom panel 22 when the container 50 has been erected. The upwards direction is defined as the direction perpendicular to thefirst bottom panel 22 that corresponds to the inner surface of the bottom panel when the container 50 has been erected. -
FIG. 1 includes abottom panel 22 bounded byfold lines 21 and 23. Connected withbottom panel 22 along a fold lines 23 arefirst side panels 24. Connected with at least one of thefirst side panels 24, along a pair of spaced apartfold lines 41, is a firstside panel flap 44. A pair offront tabs 44 is connected with each of thefirst side panels 24 along fold line 39. - The
first side panel 24 also includes a sixth side panel 40 connected with the first side panel alongfold line 37. This sixth side panel 40 also includes aside tab 42 connected with the sixth side panel 40 alongfold line 41. - A
second side panel 26 is connected with thebottom panel 22 alongfold lines 21. Foldlines 21 and 23 are substantially perpendicular to one another. A firsttop panel 28 is connected with thesecond side panel 26, opposite thebottom panel 22, alongfold lines 25. Foldlines 25 andfold lines 21 are substantially parallel to one another and are both substantially perpendicular to fold lines 23. - Connected with the first
top panel 28, via a pair of spaced apart fold lines 27, are second top panels 30.Third side panel 32 is connected with the second top panel 30 along fold line 29.Third side panel 32 includesfourth side panels 36 connected with thethird side panel 32 alongfold lines 33. Also thethird side panel 32 includes acorner panel 34 connected withthird side panel 32 alongfold lines 31. - As aspect of the present invention is forming a container 50 that has vertical side walls formed of panels having both vertically and horizontally oriented flutes. By forming the blank 20 and resulting container 50 as depicted, some of the various side panels have vertically oriented flutes and others have horizontally oriented flutes. This allows for cost savings with regards to material while retaining desired strength.
-
FIGS. 2-5 depict various aspects of the container 50 being erected from the blank 20. As best seen inFIG. 2 ,first side panels 24 are folded upwardly along fold lines 23. Subsequentlyfifth side panels 38 may be folded inwardly alongfold line 37. This movement places respectivefifth side panels 38 juxtaposed to one another. - As seen in
FIG. 3 ,second side panel 26 may then be folded upwardly approximately 90 degrees alongfold line 21 such that thesecond side panel 26 becomes juxtaposed to the outermostfifth side panel 38. It will be appreciated that the flutes (not shown) infifth side panels 38 andsecond side panels 26 will be substantially perpendicular to on another. - The first
top panel 28 may be folded inwardly alongfold line 25. In addition, thecorner panels 34 may be folded inwardly alongfold lines 31 and the forthside panels 36 may be folded inwardly alongfold lines 33. Also thefront tabs 44 may be folded downward/inward approximately 90 degrees along fold line 39. - As best depicted in
FIGS. 5 and 6 , the second top panel 30 may be folded along double spaced apart fold lines 27 such that the firsttop panel 28 and second top panel 30 sandwich a portion of thefront tabs 44 there between. Also, thethird side panel 32 is folded along fold line 29 such that thethird side panel 32 is substantially parallel thesecond side panel 26. In this configuration, thethird side panel 32 and thesecond side panel 26 substantially sandwich the respectivefifth side panels 38 there between. Likewise, the forthside panels 36 are juxtaposed one of thefirst side panels 24, and thecorner panels 34 are juxtaposed the otherfirst side panel 24. - Although the various embodiments have all been illustrated and described as noted above, many changes can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention. Accordingly, the scope of the invention is not limited by the disclosure of such embodiments. Instead, the invention should be determined entirely by reference to the claims that follow.
