Description
May 3, 1938. DANN, JR l 2,115,802.
CONTAINER Filed April 20, 1935 Inventor Zar/e.: Zd/2775' A Home);
Patented May 3, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE .5 Claims.
'Ihis invention relates to containers and has as its object the provision of a container which may be economically produced and which will effectively display the contents thereof; and further 5 to provide such a container adapted for the packaging of any dry foods or beverage products, seeds, materials ion-domestic pets, etc. and as will be appreciated from a further disclosure of the invention. Further it is an object of the inw vention to provide a carton or package which will be dust, insect and moisture proof to an effective' the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing whereinz Figure 1 is a perspective view of the package or container showing the same completely sealed with the contents therein.
Figure 2 is a top plan viev'sr of the container ork package on a reduced scale.
Figure 3 is a bottom plan view of the container or package on a reduced scale.
Figures 4 and 5 are sectional views taken substantially on the linesl 4 1 and 5--5 respectively of Figure 1.
Figure Gis an elevational'view of the container in a collapsed condition.
Figure 7 'is a perspective view of the frame in flattened condition.
Referring to the drawing by reference numerals it will be seen that the container or package comprises a frame indicated generally by the reference numeral Ill and which is preferably cut into oblong form from a single blank of cardboard or other suitable material the frame I comprising a bottom, top, and side members, the bottom member consisting of flaps II adapted to overlap when the frame is worked into shape, and formed by creasing the frame strip on transverse lines I2 spaced inwardly from the opposite ends'of the frame strip a distance required by the desired Width of the frame.
The top of the frame is indicated by the reference numeral I3 and is formed by creasing the frame 'strip on spaced transverse lines Il disposed an equidistance from the transverse center of the strip I0 as best shown in Figure 2.
From the above it will be apparent that the sides I and I6 of the frame are constituted by thoseportions of the strip I0 lying between the K package being formed by the framein `the manlines I2 and I4 'at opposite sides of the transverse center of the strip. The side I5 o! the frame which may be constituted as the front side ofthe frame is preferably provided with a suitable sight opening I5' through which the contents of the 5 package may be viewed. c Further, and in accordance' with the present invention a closure flap for the top of the package may be'provided by dening on the top member I3 of the frame an area bounded on three sides by lines of perforations I1 and on a fourth side by a fold line I8, the area bounded by these llines I1 and I8 constituting the i'lap I9.
The top, bottom, and two side walls of' the l5 ner just described vthe remaining opposed side walls, indicated by the reference numeral 20 are formed from a sheet or wrapping of cellophane, a. cellulose material now known in the trade by such aname, or any other cellulose or transparent material. The sheet is of suitable shape and dimensions so as toprovide the aforementioned transparent walls 20 and also to cover completely the outer surfaces of the bottom and side walls of the frame, the cellophane being preferably. constructed somewhat in the form of a bag to receive the frame Il) with the free edges 2l of the transparent sheet or bag and defining the open top or mouth of the bag, permanently united with the top wall I3 in any suitable manner, preferably by being adhesively secured thereto so as to border the top I3 leaving the closureflap I9 easily accessible. i
Prior to the llingor placing of -the contents into the package the same may be shipped in a folded state as suggestedv in Figure 6 wherein it'. willbe noted that the transparent' envelopev is adapted to accommodate the frame strip IU with the sides of the transparent envelope torming the transparent walls 20 of the package bellowing in- Wardly and the flaps II forming, when the. package is completely sealed, the bottom of the package, extended somewhat longitudinally of or in the plane of the sides I5 and I6 of the frame.
Obviously with the parts assembled as suggested in Figure 6 the container may be expanded and lled with the desired contents, assuming, as it is being lled, its iinal state which is substantially the shape clear from a consideration of Figures 1 to 5 inclusive. In this connection it will 50 be therefore understood that the package is being filled while in substantially an upside down position. When the filling operation has been completed the edge portions of the Walls of the transparent envelope are then folded 4relative to one 55 another and over the bottom forming, overlapping flap Il of the frame and secured in this folded condition indicated generally by the reference numeral 22 and clearly shown in Figure 3 which is a bottom plan view of the package when completely filled and sea1ed. Thus lled and sealed the package is then placed right side up so that indicia such as indicated at 23 printed or otherwise formed on, for example the wall I5 may be properly read. Manifestly, with such a package the contents thereof may be readily viewed through the transparent windows 20 and I5'.
After the package has been thus sealed access to the contents of the package may be had by tearing along the lines of perforations l1 and then folding back the flap I9 along the fold line I8, seevFigure 5.
It will thus be seen that I have devised a neat attractive'package or container whose contents will be eifectively displayed, and which package or container will be substantially completely dust, insect and moisture proof so that the package or container may be used for packaging any of the articles and the like hereinbefore enumerated or in addition thereto, novelties suchas sea shells, dry paints, pigments, soaps, chemicals and the like.
Preferably, the final shape of the package is as shown, substantially rectangular, so that when filled the same can be packed in carton lots without waste space.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. A container of the character described comprising an envelope of exible transparent material and a substantially endless frame of relatively stiif material having only two integral side and end walls respectivelyarranged within the envelope, saidenvelope at the end thereof being united with the ends of said frame to provide with'the frame a sealed container certain walls of which are transparent and other walls of which are opaque, and said frame having an end portion uncovered and also having delineated on said vuncovered portion by weakened lines of severance and a fold line an area defining a closure flap.
2. A merchantable package comprising a container having a pair of opposed side Walls and top and bottom end walls respectively connectingy said side walls, one of said end walls having a weakened intermediate area providing a normally substantially sealed closure flap for the package, and a transparent wrapper completely surrounding the container with the wrapper at one end having end portions folded inwardly against the second end wall of the container, and said wrapper at its relatively opposite end having portions thereof folded inwardly and adhesively united with the first named end wall of the container with the said united end edges of the wrapper bordering the aforementioned weakened area whereby the latter is completely exposed for accessibility without damage to the transparent wrapper.
3. A container comprising a carton-like frame formed from a blank bent to provide bottom, top and a pair of opposed side walls, the top wall having an integral closure flap connected with the top wall along one edge by a crease line, and at three additional edges by weakened lines of perforations, and a transparent envelope within which said frame is arranged, said envelope being united at its respective opposite en'ds with the top and end walls respectively of said carton like frame, with the envelope at one end having edge portions bordering said integral closure flap.
