CAN CARRYING CARTON Filed Feb. 21, 1956 s Sheets-Sheet s F 5 INVENTOR Russell J. He/messey ATTORNEY United S a s a e 2,374,869 CAN CARRYING CARTON Application February 21, 1956, SerialNo. 566,853 6 Claims. ((1 220-4112) This invention relates to an improvement "in can carriers wherein it is desired to carry a series of cans arranged in two superimposed rows.
Various types of paperboard sleeves have been produced for carrying a series of cans. Certainof these can containing sleeves are designed tocarryt'a single row of cans while others have been designed to support two rows of cans in side by side relation. While these can carriers have been found extremely successful, in some instances the panels of the cartons do not provide all of the advertising space which the producer of the goods desires. The purpose of the present invention resides m the provision of a carrier for containing two rows of cans in superimposed :relation, thus providing a carrier hav ng a large side panel which may be used for ad vertismg purposes. t t
A feature of the present invention resides in the fact that my can carrier is'better proportioned to contain cans of certain types. For example, cans which are of relatively large diameter and which are relatively short 111 he1ght, require a wide low carrier which is not partipularly attractive and which does not provide a large display area on the side walls of the carton. By providing two rows of .cans in superimposed relation, these. previous diificulties can be avoided.
A further feature of the present invention resides in the provision of a carrier including a central partition wall which is interposed between the under surfaces of the upper cans and the upper surfaces of the lower cans. This wall is provided withtabs which fold inwardly to engage into the recessed ends of the cans. In order to properly contain both of the rows of cans, the inwardly folded tabs are centrally divided and one-half of each tab is folded to engage the under surface of an upper most can and the other tab portion is folded downwardly to engagethe upper surfacewofa lowerzcan. Thus, all of the cans are securelyheld inthe sleeve-like body.
'A further feature of the present'invention resides in the fact that by supporting the cans in two superimposed rows, a handle may more readily be provided for carrying the cans. Furthermore, as the rows are placed one above the other, the handle serves more effectively and may be carried more readily than a wider sleeve construction.
These and other objects and novel features of the present invention will be more clearly and fully set forth in the following specification and claims.
In the drawings forming a part of the specification:
2,874,869 Patented Feb. 24, 1959 Figure '5 is a diagrammatic 'view of the blank from which thecan carrier is formed.
The carrier is indicated in general by the letter A and is designed to carry a series of cans which are indicated by t he letter B. The cans B are usually of the recessed end type having a cylindrical and circling wall and slightly recessed end structures.
As best indicated 'in Figure 5 of the drawings, the blank of which the carrieris formed includes 'a vertical wall panel which is hingedly connected along a 'fold line 11 toa top panel 12. Thetop' panel "12 is hingedly connected 'alonga fold line 13 to aside wall panel 14. The sidewall panel 14 is hingedly connected along 'afold line 15 to a bottom wall panel 16. The bottom :wall panel 161's connected'along a fold'line 17 to aside wall panel 19. The side wall panel 19 is foldably connected along the fold line 20 to a'partition wall panel 21. This partition wall panel 21 is hingedly connected along a fold line 22 to a glue jflap 23. l
The top and bottom wall panels 12 and 16, and the partition wall panel 21 are of 'approximatelythe same width. The wallpanel 19 is approximately one-half the height of the side wall panel 14. The side wall panel 10 is slightly greater than one-half the height of the side wall panel 14 so as to overlap a portion of theside wall panel 13 so thatit may be adhered thereto.
A handle is provided which extends across the top panel 12. This handle is indicated in general by the numeral 24. The handle 24 includesa relativelynarrow center portion which is defined by spaced cut linels;
. 25 and 26. The ends ofythe narrow portions of the Figure l is a perspective view of the can carrier in handle are connected by diverging cut lines 27 and 29 to more widely spaced generally parallel cut lines 30 and 31' respectively. These cut'lines 30 and 31 extend across the fold lines 11 and '13 respectively and into the wall panels 10 and 14.
An aperture is formed in each of these side wall panels between the sides of the wider portions of the handles. In the particular form of construction illustrated, a. U-shaped cut 32 is provided in the side wall panel 10, the base of this U-shaped cut coinciding with the fold line 11 and the sides of the U-shaped cut, designated by the numeral 33, being parallel and spaced inwardly from the cut 30. Alignedfold lines 34 extend from the cut Aligned fold lines 37 connect the ends of the U-shaped cut with the ends of the cut lines 31.
Alternatively, the portion within the U-shaped cut In the form of conlines 32 and 35 maybe cutaway. struction illustrated, the portion of the side walls within the U-shaped cut lines 32 and 35 remains in the plane of the side wall panels 10 and 14. When the narrow portion of the handle 25 is flexed upwardly, the strips between the U-shaped cut lines and the outer cut lines incline upwardly and inwardly. These straps which connect the center portion of the handle to the side Walls extend between spaced cans within the carton and the portion outwardly of the U-shaped cut lines straddles the center cans of the series.
A pair of tabs 39 are foldably connected along parallel fold lines 40 to opposite ends of the top panel 12. The fold lines 40 and the length of the tabs 39 are so proportioned as to engage inwardly of the chimes of the outer cans of the series. In the particular arrangement illustrated, these fold lines 40 are spaced somewhat in- 7 ends at the bottom of the lower row of cans.
wardly from the sides of the band as is obvious from Figure 5.
The panel 16 which forms the bottom panel of the carrier-is likewise provided with a pair of opposedtabs 41, which are foldably connected to the bottom panel 16 along parallel fold lines 42. These tabs are designed to engage inwardly of the chimes of the outermost cans of the lower layer of cans.
The partition panel 21 is also foldably connected along parallel fold lines 43 to tab structures which are similar in outline to the tabs 39 and 41. The tab structures are indicated in general by the numeral 44 and each tab structure includes a cut line 45 which divides the same into a pair of tabs 46 and 47. The tab structures are preferably provided'with curved outlines or edges which are designed to follow the contour of the inner side of the chime of a can. f v p "The blank thus formed is folded and glued in the manner best illustrated in Figure 2 of the drawings. The blank is folded along the fold line 17 and the glue flap 23' is adhered to the center portion of the wall panel 14. The blank is next folded along the fold line 13 so thatthe marginal end of the wall panel overlaps the upper portion of the wall panel 19 and is adhered thereto. The partition panel 21 is then interposed between the top panel 12 and the bottom panel 16 when the carton is opened into the form illustrated in Figure 2 of the drawings. I
When the cans B are inserted into the carrier, one series of cans, such as three cans, are inserted between the bottom panel 16 and the partition panel 21 and anotherseries of cans is positioned between the partition panel 21 and the top panel 12. As the cans are inserted, the flaps 39 attached to the top panel 12 are folded inwardly to engage into the recessed ends of the uppermost series of cans. In a similar manner, the tabs 41 are folded inwardly .to engage into the recessed One pair of laps, such as 46, are folded upwardly to engage into the recessed ends of the lower ends of the uppermost row of cans and the other set of flaps, such as the flaps 47, are folded downwardly and inwardly to engage into the recessed upper ends of the lower row of cans. When thus engaged, all of the cans are heldin place.
The handle 24 normally remains in the plane of the panels in which it is formed. However, by engaging the center portion of the handle and pulling the same upwardly, the strap portions extending into the side wall panels 10 and 14 will incline inwardly and upwardly permitting the center portion of the handle to be bowed upwardly a distance sufiicient to get at least some of the fingers of the hand beneath this handle. The package may then be conveniently carried.
In accordance with the patent statutes, I have described the principles of construction and operation of my can carrier, and while I have endeavored to set forth the best embodiment thereof, I desire to have it underi 4 stood that obvious changes may be made within the scopeof the following claims without departing from the spirit of my invention.
