2 Claims. 01. 229-44 glued by the manufacturer of the product to be enclosed in the box.
Another object of the invention is to produce a box which can be adapted for use on existing types of cigarette packaging machines with a minimum of alterations therein.
Still another object is the achievement of economies in the amount of paper stock used for the box, as well as a greater rate of speed in setting up and gluing the blank.
Other objects relating to details in economies of the invention will appear from the description.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings and defined in the claims.
In the drawings, Fig. 1 is a plan view of the blank out of which the container or box of this invention may be constructed. The score lines to assist in folding are indicated by dot-dash lines, and the through cuts are indicated by full lines.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the blank of Fig. l. with the liner thereof folded over on top of the outer body portion of the blank.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the blank partially assembled to show the relative position of various parts of the blank during the assembly thereof.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the completed box or container with the top thereof in open position.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the box or container with the top in closed position.
- Fig. 6 is a section through 6-6 of Fig. 4.
Fig. 7 is a section through 7-7 of Fig. 6 with the space between the side panels of the liner and the sides of the outer body portion of the box somewhat exaggerated to make it clear that there is such a space and that these walls are not secured together.
Fig. 8 is a plan view of a blank showing a slightly different modification of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings the invention is illus ice of the present invention is formed consists of an'outer body portion B and a liner portion L. The outer body portion comprises 4 sections or panels which form'the four sides of the box, and attached to these panels are suitable flaps to form the top and bottom of the box. The front panel is shown at 1. It has an upper flap 2 and a lower flap 3. The back panel 5 has an upper flap 6 and a lower flap 7. The side panel, or section between the panels 1 and 5, is shown at 9 and has an upper flap 10 and a lower flap 12. The outer side panel which lies between the body portion B and the linerL is shown at 14 and has an upper flap 15 and a lower flap 16. Suitable score lines between the panels and flaps aid in folding over the flaps to form the top and bottom of the box. The score line between the panel 5 and flap 6 is shown at 18 and that between the panel 5 and flap 7 is shown at 19. The score line between the panel 9 and flap 10 is shown at 20, and that be: tween panel 9 and flap 12 is shown at 21. The score line between panel 1 and flap 2 is shown at 23 and between panel 1 and flap 3 at 24. The score line between panel 14 and flap 15 is shown at 25 and that between panel 14 and flap 16 is shown at 26. The score line between panels 5 and 9 is shown at 27 and between panels 9 and 1 at 28 and between panels 1 and 14 at 29. The score line between the outer body portion B and the liner L is shown at 30. v
The present invention is illustrated in connection with a hinged top which is hinged to the back of the outer body portion and when closed overlies the upper end of the liner. This top is formed by a suitable cut which extends across the front panel 1 and the two side panels 9 and 14. In the panel 9 this cut is shown at 32 and in the panel 1 at 33 and in the panel 14 at 34.
The portion of the blank which would subsequently form the liner shown at L comprises a front panel 35, a side panel 36, and another side panel 37. A score line between panels 35 and 36 is shown at 38 and the one between panels 35 and 37 is shown at 39. Cut lines on panel 37 of the liner blank are shown at 40 and 41 to form glue flaps 43 and 44, respectively. Additional cuts are made at 46 and 47 to form friction tabs 46 and 47.
In Fig. 2 of the drawing the liner L is shown folded over the body portion B along a part of the score line 30. Glue flaps 43 and 44 are shown projecting from the right in this figure.
In Fig. 3 another step in assembling the box is illustrated. The sides of the outer body portion of the liner are folded along score lines 28 and 29, and the glue flaps 43 and 44 are folded at right angles to panel 14 preparatory to receiving back panel 5 for the gluing operation which will circumferentially join various panels of the outer body portion.
As is well known in the art, the various flaps projecting from the panels or sides may be folded to form the top andbottom of the box. In the construction illustrating this invention, flaps 12 and 16 may be first turned in, followed by flap 7 and then flap 3 to form the bottom of the box. The top of the box may be formed by first turning in flaps 10 and 15. This may then be followed by flap 6 and finally flap 2 so that flap 2 is visible on the top of the box and flap 3 is visible on the bottom thereof.
When the box is assembled from the blank it is as shown in Figs. 4-7. The top of the box is hinged to the back panel 5 along the score line 50. It may swing down into the closed position shown in Fig. 5 where it will be engaged by the friction tabs 46 and 47' to hold it in place. Because the liner L is not glued to the inside of the body portion it is sufiiciently adjustable in relation to the body poriton and to the top to permit the top to be readily opened and closed. It will be seen upon examining Fig. 1 that the cut 34 terminates on the fold line 30 at a point between the spaced glued flaps 43 and 44. The upper flap 43 is adapted to join the sides ,of the top of the box. It will serve to attach the side of the box which is formed by the upper part citrpanel 14to the back of the top which is formed between score lines 18 and 50 shown on the panel 5 in Fig. 1. The glue flap 44 is designed to be attached to the left side of panel 5 as viewed in Fig. 1 to secure the four sides or panels of the outer body portion together.
Some modifications may be made in the embodiment shown for the purpose of saving paper board or for other reasons. For instance, the bottom of the liner L as shown at 60 in Figs. 1 and 2 may be brought down so that it is an extension of the line 61 which forms the bottom edge of the panel 37. In this way the bottom edge of panels 35 and 36 will contact the bottom of the box when assembled. This would give a little more stiffness to the liner, but obviously would require somewhat more board than in the design shown in Figs. 1-3.
- On the other hand this line 60 could be raised considerably from where it is shown in Figs. 1-3. It could be moved up until it was only /8 or /2 an inch lower down than the cut line 33. This would save more board but would permit the liner more flexibility which in some instances might be quite permissible but in others might be undesirable.
Another embodiment or modification is shown in Fig. 8 where the same numbers are used to identify similar parts, but the numeral 60' is used to show the bottoms of the panels 35 and 36 which are cut on a diagonal. This construction is arnodification which uses somewhat less board than the modification illustrated in Figs. 1-3 and for some uses is quite satisfactory.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is as follows:
1. In a container of a type having a hinged top comprising an outer body portion made up of front, back and side panels for the container with extending flaps to form the top and bottom thereof, a liner portion connected to one side panel of said outer body portion and comprising front and side panels with one of said side panels adjacent and connected to a side panel of said outer body portion, a cut line 'for the hinged top of the container extending across the front panel and both side panels of said outer body portion and terminating at the fold line connecting said outer body and liner, a glue flap cut out of said liner side panel adjacent to said outer body portion, said glue flap being disposed below said cut line and attached to said back panel of said outer body portion to secure the parts of the outer body portion to gether.
2. In a container of a type having a hinged top as defined in claim 1, and a second glue flap cutout of said liner side panel above said out line and attached to the back of said top to secure the front, back and sides of said top together.
