2 claims.
The present invention relates generally to a carton or paper container, but more particularly to a novel and improved carton of the tray type which is adapted to contain therein fragile zafor crushable merchandise.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a novel, compact and economical construction of a tray-type cartonv for holding merchandise of fragile nature in separated or spaced apart position.
A further object of the invention is to provide a'novel and improved tray-type carton in which the material necessary to produce the same is reduced to a minimum so as to produce a rela- .tively light carton and yet at the same time contains suicient strength to hold merchandise of a fragile nature.
A further` object of the invention is to provide a novel and improved construction cfa capsule carton in which means are provided to facilitate the removal of a capsule from the recesses in the tray.
These and other objects are accomplished by providing a construction and an arrangement of the various parts in the manner hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the appanded claims.
Referring to the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a perspective View of my improved carton;
Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal cross sectional View taken on the line 3-3 in Fig. 2;
Fig, 4 is a top plan view showing the manner in which the protective flap and tray holder isv made of one single piece of cardboard;
Fig. 5 is a longitudinal cross sectional View of a novel form of flexible tray which facilitates the removal of the capsules therefrom;
Fig. 6 is a cross sectional View of the tray holder and tray shown in Fig. 5; and
Fig. "I is a cross sectional view taken on the line 'I-'I in Fig. 5.
The present invention is an improvement over my U. S. Letters Patent No. 2,057,180 granted the 13th day of October, 1936.
In illustrating one form of the present invention, I have shown the same in connection with a tubular telescoping cover generally indicated by the reference character I which is opened at both ends and is provided with a window or opening I I through which the material contained therein can be seen. The principle feature of the present invention includes the simplicity of con- 1938, Serial No. 183,068
(Cl. 20G- 42) struction by reason of which unnecessary parts and materials are reduced to a minimum and includes a tray holder and protective ap made| of a single piece of material as generally indicated by the reference character I2 in Fig. 4 of the drawing. This single fiat piece of cardboard includes a tray holder section I3 and protective iiap I4. These main sections I3 and I4 are connected by a strip I which forms one end of the container proper and is foldable on the scored lines I6 when the same is inserted in the telescoping cover I0. The protective flap I4 performs the function of preventing the capsules from being dislodged from their recesses as the tray is moved with respect to the cover. This flap I4 is scored on transverse lines I1 so that the same may be folded upwardly for securing access to` the material within the tray in the manner clearly disclosed in Fig. 1 of the drawing. The flap I4 is further provided with an opening or window I8 extending longitudinally thereof in substantial alignment with the window II of the cover I0. This window I8 is covered by translucent material such as Cellophane as indicated by the reference character I9. The tray holder section I3 is provided on one end thereof with a tuck-in flap as shown at which is connected to the section I3 by an end wall 2I. The same is foldable on the transverse scored line 22 so as to form the enclosed end in the manner clearly shown in Fig. 3 of the drawing. The tray in this instance comprises a relatively thick board made of any suitable material such as Wood pulp which has the bottom surface adjacent the ends thereof glued or otherwise secured to the tray holder section I3. The tray 23 is provided with a plurality of regularly arranged punched holes or recesses 24 for the reception therein of fragile material such as capsules and the like.
Another novel feature of this construction includes relatively small apertures 25 extending through the tray holder section I3 arranged concentrically of the recesses 24 in the tray .so that in the event the capsule adheres to the side walls of the recess as the result of weather conditions, a portion of the finger or any suitable object may be projected into the holes from the bottom of the tray holder section to force the capsule upwardly out of the recess and facilitates its removal therefrom.
In the modified form of my invention shown in Figs. 5 to 7 inclusive, the same telescoping cover Ill is employed and the same tray holder section I3 and protective flap I4 are used. The
'with respect to the lower mat.
novelty in this modified form includes a flexible or depressable capsule tray which comprises a lower perforated mat 26 which is provided with uniformly spaced apart perforations 21. The opposite ends of the perforated mat 26 is folded completely against itself as shown at 28 with the lower surface of the folded portion glued or otherwise secured to the opposite ends of the tray holder section I3, thus spacing or holding the intermediate portion of the mat in spaced relation with respect to the tray holder I3. Positioned above the lower mat is a second perforated mat 29 which is similarly provided with uniformly spaced perforations 21 in the mat 2,6. This perforated mat 29 is similarly provided with inwardly bent ends 3l, which in turn, have their undersides glued or otherwise secured tothe opposite ends of the lower matvv 26, to thereby space the intermediate portions of the upper mat The concentrically arranged perforations 3 0 and 2lk of the respective mats 29 and 26 are also arranged concentrically with respect to the perforations 25 of the` tray holder section I3 so that when the flexible tray constituting the two perforated mats 29 and 26v is depressed, sufficient grip on the capsule may be had by. depressing the mat in the manner shown in Fig. 6 to facilitate removal ofthe capsules from the respective recesses. The perforations 25 in the mat holder I3 permit a portion of the finger or other object to be inserted to further assist the removal of the capsules therefrom.
Summarizing the functions and advantages of :my improved capsule carton, it will be readily seen that by making the tray holder and protective flap from a single rectangular strip of cardboard and securing the tray directly to the tray holder section, I have not only reduced the amount of material and weight necessary to construct this type of carton, but also have provided a simple, compact as well as economical carton which can bequickly and easily assembled with a minimum of effort. It will also be notedl that by forming the capsule tray with two spaced, apart mats so that they may be flexibly depressed to a position in which the thumb and forefinger may grip the capsule, I have provided scribed one embodiment and one modification of my invention, it will of course be understood that the same is capable of other modifications and such modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as expressed in the following claims.
What I claim is my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1*. A carton comprising a flat tray holder, a tray including a perforated mat having its opposite ends bent rearwardly against the mat proper, said rearwardly bent portions being secured to said tray holder, a second perforated mat having its opposite ends bent rearwardly against the mat proper, said bent portions being secured to said first named mat, both of said mats having uniformly spaced apart perforations therein in concentric alignment, the intermediate portion.A
of said mats being spaced from each other and from said tray holder whereby said, mats are depressable by finger pressure adjacent said perforations to facilitate the removal of capsules,
therefrom, and a protective flap formed integrally with said holder for covering the articles contained therein.
2. A carton comprising` a single flat tray holder, and a tray including a plurality of perforated mats secured at their opposite ends to said holder and spaced apart from one another and from ksaid holder, both of said mats having a` plurality of uniformly spaced apart perforations therein with corresponding perforations therein Withcor.- responding perforations in concentric alignment, said mats being depressable adjacent said perforations to permit finger pressure in facilitatingthe removal of said capsules from said perforations, said holder having relatively smaller perforations therein adjacent the perforations in` said mats to facilitate the removal of articles from said tray.
