Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of PCT/US2008/085133, filed Dec. 1, 2008, the contents of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- This invention relates to a display carton blank, and display carton for a plurality of products where the contained products are maintained in a set array in the carton. The carton is comprised of a carton and a separator, the separator being maintained in place by recesses in the sidewalls of the carton. The carton front surface can be at least partially transparent. Other surfaces also can be at least partially transparent.
- Many products are sold in amounts of two to ten or more. Many of these products are preferably displayed and maintained in a set array in the carton. Being maintained in a set array is useful in cases where the units are to be seen through an at least partially transparent front surface. The units that can be seen through the front surface can be a significant factor in the product being purchased. The products are preferably displayed neatly to convey the proper message about the product to the prospective purchaser. In addition, the carton should be of a low cost, structurally stable, tamper evident and versatile in display. As used herein, versatile in display means that the carton can be displayed both resting on a store shelf and suspended from a peg or similar hardware that extends outwardly from a vertical support. When the product can be displayed sitting on a store shelf it then also can be stored on a shelf at the purchaser's residence. Storability by the purchaser is convenient because the units in the carton may be used over a period of time. The carton should have sufficient structural stability so as not to be damaged during shipping and handling and display at the retail outlet. It also should be sufficiently durable to protect the contained units from any damage. To be tamper evident, it should be discernable from a casual inspection whether the carton has been the subject of any tampering.
- The present carton solves the above problems through a unique structure for the carton. The carton has a unique carton structure, a unique product separator structure, and a unique carton/product separator interfitting structure. Low cost is achieved by the use of a design that minimizes the amount of material yet maintains sufficient strength. This results in a display carton for a plurality of products at a low cost, one which is structurally stable, is tamper evident, and is versatile in display.
- The present invention is directed to a display carton for a plurality of products. In one embodiment, the carton comprises a front panel and a rear panel, the front panel and the rear panel connected one to the other by a top panel and a bottom panel, each of the front panel, the top panel and the bottom panel having appended side flaps. Each of the top panel and side panel appended side flaps has a recess, the recesses of the top panel flaps being in alignment with the recesses of the bottom panel flaps to form combined recesses in the sidewall of the carton. There is a product separator within the carton, the product separator having a separator panel with an appended first panel and an appended second panel, each of the first panel and the second panel being fitted into the combined recess in the sidewall of the carton to thereby secure the product separator within the carton. The product separator maintaining the position of the products displayed in the carton.
- The carton has at least one surface which is at least partially transparent in order to display the container products. This preferably is the front surface. Other surfaces, such as the top surface can be at least partially transparent. The product separator will maintain the product units adjacent the front panel and any other panel with an at least partially transparent surface in a neat array.
- The front panel side flaps have appended glue flaps, there being a score line between each of the side flaps and the glue flaps. The glue flap is at an angle to the side flap. Each glue flap has a plurality glue tabs, the appended glue flaps attaching to the rear panel of the carton.
- The first panel and the second panel of the product separator have a shape which conforms to the shape of the combined recesses, the first panel and the second panel preferably having a rectangular shape with the combined recesses having a conforming rectangular shape.
- The top panel has an attached first hanger panel and the rear panel has an attached second hanger panel, the first hanger panel and the second hanger panel jointly forming a common hanger panel of the carton. The second hanger panel has breakaway glue tabs to secure the rear panel in a closed position and a remaining bendable tab to maintain the rear panel closed.
- The product separator has apertures and a product separator weakened area to promote a partial fold. The apertures provide for a gripping of the product separator. The partial fold provides for a way to insert and to remove the product separator. The product separator provides for product to be maintained between the front panel and the product separator and the rear panel and the product separator.
- The carton is constructed from a carton blank which is comprised of a front panel with an attached top panel at one end and an attached bottom panel at another end. A rear panel is attached to the bottom panel. Each of the front panel, top panel and the bottom panel have side flaps, the rear panel being devoid of side flaps. The top panel has a first hanger panel and the rear panel has a second hanger panel, each hanger panel having an aperture. The top panel side flaps and the bottom panel side flaps each has a recess, the recesses aligning when the carton blank is formed into a carton to form common recesses. Each front panel flap has an appended glue flap, each glue flap having a plurality of glue tabs. The front panel of the carton blank is at least partially transparent.
- The carton can be made of a wide range of materials. These range from various paperboards to various plastics.

FIG. 1 , a blank 11 for forming a display carton 10 (FIG. 4 ) is illustrated. The blank 11 is comprised of afront panel 12 with a transparentfront panel window 14. At one end of thefront panel 12 is atop panel 18. The transparentfront panel window 14 of thefront panel 12 is shown as extending into thetop panel 18. The size, shape and orientation of thepanel window 14 is not limited to that illustrated inFIG. 1 . Thepanel window 14 could be smaller or larger and of any shape and orientation as long as products in thecarton 10 are visible from outside of thecarton 10. Attached to thetop panel 18 is afirst hanger panel 22 which has a firsthanger panel aperture 21. Attached to thefront panel 12 opposite thetop panel 18 is abottom panel 20 with arear panel 16 attached to the other end of thebottom panel 20. Attached to thebottom panel 20 is asecond hanger panel 24 which has a secondhanger panel aperture 23. Thesecond hanger panel 24 has a plurality of weakenedlines 13 delineating a plurality of break-awayglue tabs 17. Thefront panel 12top panel 18 and thebottom panel 20 each have side flaps 30, 32, 26, 26, 34, 36. There are no side flaps on therear panel 16, or on thefront hanger panel 22, or on therear hanger panel 24. - The
front panel 12 has aleft side flap 30 and aright side flap 32. Each of these side flaps 30, 32 has an appendedglue flap side glue flap 31 is appended to theleft side flap 30 and the rightside glue flap 33 is attached to theright side flap 32. There is a weakenedarea 15 between each of the glue flaps 31, 33 and theside flap side glue flap 32 and the leftside glue flap 30 has a plurality ofglue tabs 38, eachglue tab 38 outlined with a weakened area 38(a). Theglue tabs 38 are a part of the tamper evident structure of the carton. Theglue tabs 38 will attach to the inner surface of therear panel 16 when the carton blank 11 has been folded to construct the carton 10 (shown inFIG. 4 ). When thecarton 10 is opened theglue tabs 38 will remain attached to the inner surface of therear panel 16 because the weakened areas 38(a) will sever. When it is seen that theglue tabs 38 are attached to the inner surface of therear panel 16 there is evidence that thecarton 10 has been opened or tampered. Similarly, the weakenedlines 13 of the back panel provide thesecond hanger panel 24 with break-awayglue tabs 17. When therear panel 16 is pulled outward, the break-awayglue tabs 17 sever along weakenedlines 13 and remain attached to thefront hanger panel 22. - The
top panel 18 has a rightside top flap 28 with a right sidetop flap recess 27, and a left sidetop flap 26 with a left sidetop flap recess 25. Thebottom panel 20 has a rightside bottom flap 36 which has a right sidebottom flap recess 37 and a left sidebottom flap 34 with a left sidebottom flap recess 35. When thebottom panel 20 and thetop panel 18, with their attached side flaps 34, 36, are folded to form thecarton 10, the left side toppanel flap recess 25 and the left side bottompanel flap recess 35 will form a single combinedrecess 25/35 along the inner surface ofleft side flap 30. Likewise the right side toppanel flap recess 27 and the right sidebottom panel flap 37 will form a combinedrecess 27/37 along the inner surface of theright side flap 32. These combined recesses 25/35 and 27/37 serve to secure theproduct separator 40 in thecarton 10. - The
product separator 40 is shown inFIG. 2 . Thisproduct separator 40 is comprised of aseparator panel 42 withgrip apertures 41. Theseparator panel 42 has a separatorpanel top flap 48 and a separatorpanel bottom flap 46. There can be a weakenedarea 47 to allow for a slight bending of theseparator panel 42 when thegrip apertures 41 are gripped and lightly pulled together. This facilitates the insertion and removal of theproduct separator 40 from thecarton 10. The separatorpanel top flap 48 and a separatorpanel bottom flap 46 serve to align and support theproduct separator 40 in thecarton 10. Theseparator panel 42 has afirst panel 44 and asecond panel 45. Between theseparator panel 42 and thefirst panel 44 and asecond panel 45 there is a weakenedarea 39 depicted as a scored line. There will be a bend of about 75 to 105 degrees at this weakenedline 39. Usually the bend will be about 90 degrees. Thefirst panel 44 and asecond panel 45 will fit into combinedrecesses 25/35 and 27/37. The exact combined recess into which first lockingpanel 44 and asecond locking panel 45 will fit into will be determined by the orientation of theproduct separator 40 when it is inserted into thecarton 10. Theproduct separator 40 is secured in thecarton 10. Secured means that theproduct separator 40 is supported in a stable position when it is inserted into combined recessed 25/35 and 27/37. The product separator remains detachable and removable from thecarton 10. -
