CARTON Filed April 24, 1961 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 INVENTOR. if j- /7 27 7/70/7705 VOHOWZu U/J.
United States harem O CARTON Thomas Vander Lugt, Jr., Kalamazoo, Mich, assignor to KVP Sutherland Paper Company, Kalamazoo,
Mich.
Filed Apr. 24, 1961, Ser. No. 104,865 14 Claims. (Cl. 206-4514) This invention relates to improvements in cartons desirably for use in displaying the contents thereof,
The principal objects of this invention are:
First, to provide a carton adapted for the displaying of the contents thereof and for the effective supporting of the several packaged or cartoned objects in non contacting relation to each other.
Second, to provide a carton having these advantages which may be formed of an integral blank and shipped or delivered to packagers in collapsed form and readily set up for use.
Third, to provide a carton having these advantages which when erected is very rigid in proportion to the gauge of stock used.
Objects relating to details and economies of the invention will appear from the description to follow. The invention is defined and pointed out in the claims.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an erected carton embodying my invention.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view on a line corresponding to line 2-2 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary view on a line corresponding to line 3-3 of FIG, 1.
FIG. 4 is a plan view of the blank of my improved carton.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a modified form or embodiment of my invention.
FIG. 6 is a cross sectional view on a line corresponding to line 66 of FIG. 5.
FIG. 7 is a plan view of the blank of the embodiment of my invention shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
The embodiment of my invention shown in FIGS, 1, 2, 3 and 4 is especially designed for the holding of elongated articles and includes holder members in which the packaged articles have snap in engagement. The articles are not illustrated as they may vary greatly in shape.
The embodiment of my invention shown in FIGS. 5-7 inclusive is designed to receive articles of difierent shapes from that shown in the embodiment of FIGS. l-2 or it may be used for displaying a large number of articles.
The embodiment of my invention shown in FIGS. 14 inclusive comprises an intermediate bottom member 1, which is generally rectangular, and outer bottom members 2-2 also of generally rectangular shape.
The upwardly projecting article holders designated generally by the numeral 3 are of downwardly facing angle section and comprise the inner and outer reaches 4 and 5 respectively which are hingedly connected at their upper edges 6 and they are hingedly connected to the inner and outer bottom members 1 and 2 at 7 and 8 respectively, these hinge connections being conventionally shown by dotted lines in FIG. 4.
The intermediate bottom member 1 is provided with relatively narrow extensions 9 which project therefrom at the ends of the article holder members and these extensions constitute supports for the outer bottom memers when the carton is in erected position.
In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 14 inclusive, the outer reaches 5 of the article holder members are provided with laterally projecting lugs 19 which when the carton is in erected position supportingly engage the extensions 9, see FIGS. 1, 3 and 4.
r ice The walls 11 are hingedly connected to the ends of the intermediate bottom member '1 and to its extensions 9 by score lines indicated at 12 and in this embodiment, these walls terminate in corner flaps 13 disposed on the inner side of the walls 14 which are hingedly connected to the outer edges of the outer bottom members 2 by the score lines 15. When erected, the corner flaps in the embodiment illustrated are adhesively secured to the inner sides of the walls 4 by adhesive indicated at 16. With the parts thus arranged, when erected the carton is strong and rigid in proportion to the weight of stock used and it is capable of carrying relatively heavy loads.
The embodiment of FIGS. 1-4 inclusive is especially designed as a display carton and when filled or loaded is desirably wrapped or enclosed in a transparent wrapper. It will of course be obvious that a cover could be provided or a cover having a transparent top could be used but the structure, as stated, is relatively strong and rigid in erected position. The support members constitute effective reinforcing means so that it may be wrapped in transparent material, in which case the contents are fully visible.
The embodiment of my invention shown in FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 comprises bottom members 17 and 18 which are connected by the partition member designated generally by the numeral 19 and comprising the members 249 and 21, 21 being hingedly connected to the bottom member 17 at 22, and member 21 being hingedly connected to the bottom member 18 at 23. These members 20 and 21 are disposed in side by side relation and terminate adjacent but in spaced relation to the walls 24 which are connected to the bottom member 17 at 25. The bottom member 17 has extending portions 26 which extend between the ends of the partition member 19 and the walls 24. The walls 24 constitute reinforcing members for these extensions as is the case in the corresponding walls 11 in the embodiment shown in FIGS, 1-4 inclusive. When in erected position, the ends of the bottom member 18 overlap these bottom portions 26 of the bottom member 17. The bottom member 17 is provided with a side wall 27 and the bottom member 18 with a side wall 23 hingedly secured to the respective bottom members by the score lines 29 and 30 respectively.
The parts are held in erected position by the corner flaps 31 which in the embodiment illustrated are disposed on the inner side of and adhesively secured to the walls 27 and 28, see FIG. 5, the adhesive being indicated at 32, :66 FIG. 6.
In the embodiment of my invention illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4, both of the holder members 3 have slots therein and these slots are aligned, but it should be understood that they may be staggered for certain products and that the slots may be omitted from one or both embodiments, thus adapting the carton of my invention for varying types of products.
Both embodiments of my invention are desirably formed of a single blank and there is very little waste stock.
As stated, the carton when erected is very rigid and proportioned to the stock used and the size of the carton. The adhesive may be applied when the carton is erected but desirably pressure sealing adhesive is used.
I have illustrated and described two highly practical embodiments of my invention. I have not attempted to illustrate or describe other embodiments or adaptations as it is believed this disclosure will enable those skilled in the art to embody or adapt my invention as may be desired.
