Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to containers for storing, protecting and displaying products and more particularly, to a shipping container that is easily converted into a display container that permits access to and display of the products shipped and contained therein.
  • the hand-set display container was a two-piece design; a heavy-weight glued-tube outer and a light-weight, tight-fitting, 3-sided flanged, U-shaped paperboard that had to be hand-inserted.
  • the problems with this design were that the outer tears easily during the removal of the front tear-out panel that left jagged edges and often partially unfolded, and the time or labor or expense to insert the U-shaped paperboard.
  • a perforated window in itself, does not provide protection to any outside surfaces of a container, resulting in the potential for unattractive packages at retail sites due to gouges or scuffing from the distribution environment.
  • Other attempts at creating a useful one-piece displayable container have used complex geometric designs requiring special equipment to manufacture, erect, and fill.
  • a container for the shipping and display of products which can be easily manufactured on standard manufacturing and erecting equipment, and which further provides for easy alteration for display upon reaching point of sale and for convenient consumer access to the container contents.
  • the invention is directed to a “Frame Face” or an open-top shipping and display container for bags of refrigerated poultry and the like products.
  • the phrase “Frame Face” generally means that due to the structure of the opening of the container, the open-top container can be used to store and ship products as well as being able to be rotated 90 degrees so that the container can be used as a display container.
  • the material-handling requirement dictated that the bags and the container be shipped flat on their back, and then rotated 90 degrees into display position with an open face; eliminating all common display design choices since they are strong only in the shipping position.
  • the frame face display and shipping container resolves all the aforementioned problem herein above, while successfully addressing each of the material-handling requirements. It is a one-piece design in a heavy-weight paperboard grade, that is shipped either open-front or with an optional removable top plug panel. This combination of attributes delivers: 1) Good top-to-bottom compression in shipping position, 2) An open shop-able (e.g., excellent display and access to product) front that eliminates most of the “free panels” that could come unfolded and look unsightly, and 3) A “Frame-Face” that augments product presentation, faster and easier setup and loading in customer's production.
  • the frame face display and shipping container design is useful especially for those products that are shipped in one position and rotated at 90 degrees to be used as display container, and is defined as a glued-tube structure with a customer-choice bottom closure like the RSC (regular slotted container) flaps illustrated at the side panels of the top (or, rather, “Front” when in the display position).
  • the bottom of the frame face (still in display position) can have any of several profiles as defined hereinafter.
  • the frame face display and shipping container can be configured in several alternative fashions.
  • a bumper-sticker panel can be either taped/glued closed or a latching strap can be used. Either of these embodiments can be used with a top plug panel.
  • one aspect of the present invention is directed to an open-top container for shipping and displaying products which comprises a plurality of side walls.
  • Bottom wall flaps are foldably joined to bottom edges of the side walls and are folded inwardly therefrom into overlapping relationship with one another to form a bottom wall closure.
  • a bumper sticker panel is foldably joined to upper edge of one of the plurality of side walls forming a partial top closure when the open-top container is in the shipping position and partially prevents products from falling out when the open-top container is in the displaying position.
  • a top plug panel is used to enclose the open-top container when the open-top container is in the shipping position.
  • the top plug is defined by a central panel having an extension tab and a pulling section formed on respective opposed longitudinal edges thereof.
  • a pair of first detachable latch tabs extend outwardly from opposed lateral edges the central panel.
  • the plurality of side walls further comprises a pair of handhold openings, each of which is formed in opposed plurality of side walls and each includes a hinge tab. The respective pair of first detachable latch tabs is engaged with the respective hinge tabs to securely hold the top plug onto the open-top container.
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the shipping and display container and a top plug panel positioned in spaced relationship with respect to the container in accordance to the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of four identical shipping and display containers of the type shown FIG. 1 and illustrating the four containers in displaying and stacking positions;
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view of a blank B 1 used to form the shipping and display container shown in FIG. 1 in accordance to the present invention
  • FIGS. 4-13 illustrate the folding sequences of the blank shown in FIG. 3 for constructing the shipping and display container shown in FIG. 1 in accordance to the present invention

  • the container 10 includes side walls 12 a, 12 b, end walls 14 a, 14 b, and a bottom wall 16 that are all foldably joined to one another.
  • the container 10 has an open top or opening 18 .
  • the container 10 is characterized as having side walls and end walls, but one of the ordinary skilled in the art would appreciate that the end walls can be defined as side walls as well and the characterization of the side walls and end walls have no effect on the function or utility of the container 10 .
  • the open-top container 10 includes shoulders 20 that provide bearing surface for the next container on top of it when the containers 10 are stacked on one another in shipping or display position.
  • the frame face shipping and display container 10 also includes a bumper sticker panel 22 that is used to partially prevent products from falling out when the container 10 is in display position as clearly depicted in FIG. 2 .
  • the bumper sticker panel 22 is also used to provide a place for application of the indicia and/or advertising label.
  • Two handhold openings 24 a, 24 b are formed on the respective end walls 14 a, 14 b to facilitate handling of the container 10 .
  • Each handhold 24 a, 24 b includes a respective hinge tab 25 a, 25 b.
  • the bottom wall flaps 16 a, 16 b, 16 c, and 16 d are foldably joined to bottom edges of the side walls and are folded inwardly therefrom into overlapping relationship with one another to form a bottom wall closure 16 .
  • the bumper sticker panel 22 is foldably joined to upper edge of one of the plurality of side walls forming a partial top closure when the open-top container is in the shipping position.

  • the pulling section 40 has two arc-like slits 42 and a light score line 44 so that the pulling section can be easily folded.
  • Each of the lateral flaps 30 a, 30 b has a pair of first detachable latch tabs 46 a, 46 b.
  • Each of the first detachable latch tab 46 a, 46 b has a pair of ears 50 a, 50 b.
  • the top plug 26 , side walls 12 a, 12 b, the end walls 14 a, 14 b, and the bottom wall 16 are constructed substantially the same as and function in substantially the same way as described and shown in applicant's prior U.S. Pat. No.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of four identical shipping and display containers 10 of the type shown in FIG. 1 and illustrates the four shipping and display containers in stacking and display positions. It should be noted that each of the shipping and display containers 10 in FIG. 2 is rotated 90 degree to be in display position. When the container 10 is in stacking and display position, the respective shoulder panel 20 and the respective folding flaps ( FIG. 3 ) foldably joined thereof will behaves like a beam that resist twisting and bending under load. Since the products inside each container are relatively heavy, then when the containers are stacked it is important that the beams sufficiently overcome the buckling force.
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view of a blank B 1 used to form the shipping and display container 10 shown in FIG. 1 .
