Definitions

  • This invention relates to article carriers and more particularly to carriers of the wrap-around type and has to do with the carrier itself, the blank from which the carrier is formed and the method of manufacturing the blank and of forming the wrapper about a group of articles to be packaged.
  • Article carriers of the type disclosed in US. Patent 2,786,572 issued March 26, 1957, on an application filed by Hermond G. Gentry and owned by the assignee of this invention ordinarily are formed of paperboard blanks which are die cut from a sheet of paperboard. Since the blanks must necessarily be accurately dimensioned in order properly to accommodate various machine operations used to form the package, it is customary to stamp out each individual blank by one cutting operation of the cutting machine. Such a procedure necessarily results in scrap material along the edges of adjacent blanks. This scrap material not only is waste in itself but it poses a problem insofar as its disposition is concerned.
  • a principal object of the invention is to eliect substantial economy in the use of material used in making wrap per blanks by eliminating the scrapping of strips about each blank edge and also by nesting one blank with an adjacent blank and at the same time to configure the nested edges so as to form carton locks and a flexible center keel for the carton.
  • Another object of the invention is the provision of an improved method for die cutting carton blanks in which certain overall dimensions of the blank are accurately controlled and in which certain other overall dimensions may be allowed to vary thereby to effect economies in the use of material and in production time.
  • Still anotherobject of the invention is to provide an improved wrapper blank wherein a plurality of keel being formed about a package group.
  • the invention in one form as applied to a wrap-around type of blank resides in the method of die cutting the Wrapper blank wherein certain overall dimensions are accurately controlled due to the fact that such dimensions are preserved by a single cutting stroke of the cutting die and wherein'certain other adjacent parts of the blank are not cut until a subsequent operation of the die, such subsequent operations being effective to out parts of the blank the dimensions of which may be allowed to vary within certain predetermined limits.
  • nested portions of the blank are particularly configured so as to form a multiple tab keel for separating two rows of packaged articles within the wrapper and at the same time are adapted to lend an unusual degree of flexibility to the carrier during the period of its formation about the package group.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a package formed from a wrapper constructed according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of a blank formed according to the invention and depicted inFIG. 1; and in which FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary view of one end of the blank as depicted in FIG. 2 shown in solid lines in nested relation to the other end of an adjacent blank shown in dotted lines.
  • main panel 1 is the top of the package although it will be understood that main panel 1 could constitute the bottom or even one of the sides of the package.
  • Main panel 1 is provided with a tear aperture 2 which com-- torn away along the perforated lines 4 and 5 in order to open the package.
  • a pair of finger gripping tabs 6 and 7 which are struck out of the main panel 1 and foldably joined thereto along fold lines-8 and 9, respectively. As is well known these tabs 6 and 7 define finger gripping apertures by which the package may be readily carried.
  • main panel 1 Also formed in the main panel 1 is a plurality of partitioning tabs 10, 11 and 12 which are struck out of the main panel and foldably joined thereto along the fold lines 13, 14 and 15. As is well understood in the art these tabs are folded inwardly and serve to separate the packaged articles in one row from adjacent articles in the other row.
  • a side panel 17 Foldably joined to one edge of the main panel 1 along fold line 16 is a side panel 17. Disposed along fold line 16 is a plurality of slits 18, 19 and 20. As is well known the slits 18, 19 and 20 receive the chimes of cans which may constitute the packaged items.
  • Foldably joined to the opposite edge of the main panel 1 along fold line 21 is the side panel 22. Formed along the fold line 21 is a plurality of chime receiving slits 23, 24, and 25.
  • the bottom of the carton as there depicted is a composite panel formed of a pair of lap panels 26 and 27.
  • lap panel 26 is foldably joined to the bottom edge of side panel 17 by fold line 28 and a plurality of chime receiving slits 29, 3d and 31 are formed along the fold line 28.
  • lap panel 27 is foldably joined to the bottom of side panel 22 along fold line 32 and slits 33, 34 and 35 are formed along fold 1ine32.
  • tightening apertures are formed in lap panel 26 and are designated by the numerals 36 and 37.
  • tightening apertures 38 and $9 are formed in lap panel 27.
  • Machine elements enter apertures 36 and 37 and draw lap panel 26 toward lap panel '27 while machine elements which are disposed within tighteningapertures 38 and 39 draw lap panel 27 toward lap panel 26 in parallel relation.
  • Keel tab 48 is separated.
  • slits 58 and 59 separate keel tab from reinforcing panels 54 and 55 while slit es separates reinforcing panel 55 from keel tab 5t? and slit ol'separates keel tab 5i from the main body of lap panel 26'.
  • keel tabs 43, 49 and 5t arefreely foldable inwardly along their .fold lines 51, 52-and 53 respectively to form multiple separators for the bottoms of the packaged articles in one row and the articles in the adjacent row.
  • reinforcing panels 54 and 55 are disposed immediately adjacent the openings defined by retaining tabs 45 and 4-5. These reinforcing panels 54 and 55 lie fiat in the same plane as the main body of lap panel 25 and whenthe locking tabs 41 and 42 are inserted within the openings defined by retaining tabs 45 and 46 substantial added strength isjaiforded by thereinforcing panels 54 and 55.
  • the strength added by the flat panels 54 and 55 is considerably greater than the strength of a common center keel wherein the entire keel is disposed in mal relation to the lap panel 26.
  • tab 451 may but need not coincide with a line connecting points '74 and 7e. 7
  • a wrapper blank comprising a main panel, a pair of side panels foldably joined respectively along opposite edges of said main panel, a pair of lap panels foldably joined respectively to said side panels along the edges thereof remote from said main panel, at least one protrusion formed on the edge of one of said lap panels remote from the associated side panel, a locking tab formed at least partially within said protrusion, at least two keel blank as depicted in FIG; 2 can be nested-with an adjacent end of an adjacent blank so as to eliminate material wastage. without impairing the dimensional control of the blank.
  • said reinforcing panel is utilized to make every out line in'and along the edges ,of panel26 including lines 69, 7%," tabs 44459 andapertures 35 and 37, except the lines 62 and 63.
  • the only'lincs out along the trailing edge of panel27 are lines '62 and as.
  • the spacing between edges 66-58 of tabs 48-56 in panel 26 is maina nesting recess for theoutwardlyextending protrusion ⁇ of an adjacentblank.
