Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a carrier for cans with a gripping zone.
  • the carrier is formed from a panel of compact cardboard.
  • the carrier permits a specific number of cans to be held together and transported.
  • the present invention refers to a carrier for cans made from compact cardboard, with a gripping zone for facilitating transport thereof, with the gripping zone in respect of the arrangement being the key to the invention.
  • the document with publication number EP0456361 describes a carrier for cans with a handle made from plastic material. It is advisable, for environmental reasons, to use cardboard in carriers for cans as cardboard is much easier to recycle.
  • the carrier in this case is technically totally different.
  • the holding zone is in the centre of the can in a vertical direction and is held due to the elasticity of the plastic.
  • the holding is made in the neck of the can, in the upper part, and holding is based on pressure through stretching at the moment of gripping.
  • a clip-type article carrier as the one disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,355,999 which comprises of a panel having slots in a folded, wedge-shaped inner support sections and in outer support sections for receiving the can chimes, additionally it also comprises short side panel and end panel assist in holding the cans in place; the end panel flaps, the webs and the side panel extensions are glue together to hold the carrier in locked condition.
  • the key factor is how the cans are held during transport, as the force exercised on the gripping points and the actual transport itself tends to detach one of the cans from the group.
  • the problem is resolved in the present invention with a specific configuration of the blank and an adequate position of the gripping zone in the blank.
  • the type of material used in the present invention is compact cardboard which has the resistance required to support the group of cans.
  • the paste fibres are aligned in parallel in the direction in which the cardboard blank is moving.
  • this characteristic is used in that the blank in a specific direction is more rigid and stronger.
  • An initial aspect of the invention refers to a carrier for cans configured with a blank which consists of:
  • fixation bands there may be at least two fixation bands in the blank which give rise to two alignments for the cans.
  • a second aspect of the invention of the carrier for cans shows the cuts for fixing the can outlets such that the blank curves round the outlet of the can when gripping and transporting in such a way that the internal fixation rims tend to approach each other, thus pressurising said outlet.
  • a third aspect of the invention is that the carrier is provided between the groups of cuts associated with the fixation bands of the outlets of the cans with one or more cuts which enable separation of the internal sections of blank arranged round said fixation cuts of the can outlet.
  • the present invention is made from cardboard, it is more easily recycled than plastic products designed for the same purpose.
  • Another advantage of this invention is that as it is a blank which is held in the upper part of the cans, it protects the tops of the cans which is the area drunk from. This surface may also be used for placing product advertising.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of the blank which is the subject of the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows a side view of the blank which is the object of the invention with the gripping zone in a side facing that of FIG. 1 .
  • the carrier for cans is constituted on the basis of the blank shown in FIG. 1 .
  • This blank is designed to group and transport six cans in two rows.
  • the cans are inserted in the blank through the top.
  • the blank is provided with semi-circular facing cuts ( 1 ) for each can.
  • the gripping means consists of a handle ( 2 ) arranged on the side of the blank in such a way that each connection of the handle with the main area of the blank is extended by means of a continuous band ( 3 ), in this case two bands ( 3 ).
  • the upper part of the cans show a narrowed zone and they are finished in the upper part in a thickened ring.
  • the narrowed zone is housed in the semi-circular cuts ( 1 ), the upper circular zone of the can is covered.
  • the design of the cuts enables the cans to be held by their upper rim, and the upper part of the can is protected.
  • separation cuts ( 5 ) are made which permit separation of the internal sections ( 6 ) of the blank arranged round said semi-circular fixation cuts ( 1 ) of the can outlet.
  • the separation cuts ( 5 ) are essentially longitudinal and the orientation coincides with the direction of the bands with other transversal cuts ( 7 ) being possible in one or two ends.
