SHIPPING FOLDER FOR BOOKS, BINDERS, AND THE LIKE Filed July 15, 1964 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 30 Z/ 35 3/ 3a Z5 L I Z9 INVENTOR ATTORNEY 3,219,256 SHIPPING FOLDER FOR BOOKS, BINDERS, AND THE LIKE Harold G. Zastrow, Minneapolis, Minn, assignor to Waldorf Paper Products Company, St. Paul, Minn, a
corporation of Minnesota Filed July 15, 1964, Ser. No. 382,743 4 Claims. (Cl. 22946) This invention relates to an improvement in folders for books, binders, and the like and deals particularly with a shipping container designed to contain a loose-leaf binder.
Books, binders, and the like are oftentimes shipped in sleeves or folders made of heavy paperboard or corrugated paperboard designed to protect the surfaces of the book from damage, either during storage, or during shipping. In shipping large numbers of books, for instance catalogs from a retailer to a consumer, it is desirable to utilize a folder which is both easy to close and easy to reopen. The folder must fit snugly around the book or binder to avoid damage during shipment. It is the purpose of this invention to provide such a folder.
A feature of the present invention lies in forming a bottom wall panel, side wall panels shaped to fit the crosssectional shape of the book and hinged to opposite side edges of the bottom wall panel, and opposed top wall half-panel hinged to the side wall panels and folded into edge abutting relation. These top wall half-panels are provided at their end edges With a cushioning structure to protect the end edges of the book or hinder. End closure panels are foldably connected to the ends of the bottom panel and end flaps which are foldably connected to the closure panels overlie the end edges of the top wall half-panels. Each of these end flaps includes a locking tongue which extends through a cooperable slot in each top wall half-panel and through a cooperable slot in a spacer panel which slot is in registry with the slot in the top wall half-panel. The locking tongues thus serve the double purpose of holding the top wall half-panel connected and holding the cushioning pad structure against the ends of the folder contents.
Another feature of the present invention is that the need for gluing or taping edges has been eliminated. Locking tongues are the sole means for securing the folder in shipping or storing position. Therefore, the folder may be used many times over and yet be reclosed with a minimum of effort.
A further feature of the present invention is to provide a folder which allows a book or hinder to be packed without inserting it in either end of a tubular container. In the present invention the book or binder is simply placed on the folder and the folder is then folded around the book in such a way as to effect a snug fit and thereby give added protection to the book. The book or hinder need not he slid into the folder after the folder has been made up.
A further feature of the present invention is the adaptability of the folder to any of several size books or binders. For example, a looseleaf binder generally has a greater thickness at the binder edge than it has at the outside edge. It is therefore desirable to provide a container or folder which fits around and snugly contains this looseleaf trapezoidally-shaped binder. By supplying side panels, which are shaped in the same form as the crossted States Patent 3,219,256 Patented Nov. 23, 1965 ice section of the loose-leaf binder, the folder may simply be wrapped around the binder, and it will conform exactly to the dimensions of the binder.
Another feature of this invention is that the locking tongues may be placed outside of the closure fitting around the book or hinder. Therefore, there is no interference with the book or binder from the locking tongues.
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:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of the folder in closed position.
FIGURE 2 is a perspective view of an end of the folder shown in FIGURE 1 in partially closed position.
FIGURE 3 is a perspective view of the folder shown in FIGURE 1 in open position.
FIGURE 4 is a sectional view of the folder in FIGURE 1, the position of the section being indicated by the line 44 of FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 5 is a diagrammatic view of the blank from which the folder is formed.
FIGURE 6 is a sectional view of the folder in FIGURE 1 the position of the section being indicated by the line 66 of FIGURE 1.
The manner in which the folder is made in blank form is illustrated best in FIGURE 5. The folder includes three wall panels 11, 12, 13, and a fourth Wall which is formed by combining the half- panels 10 and 14. Top wall half panel 10 is foldably connected to side wall panel 11 along fold line 15. Side wall panel 11 is foldably connected to bottom wall panel 12 along fold line 16, bottom panel 12 is foldably connected to side wall panel 13 along fold line 17, and half wall panel 14 is foldably connected to side wall panel 13 along fold line 18.
Top wall half- panels 10 and 14 which, in the drawings, form the top wall of the folder are foldably connected to spacer panels 22 along closely spaced parallel fold lines 19 and 20. Cushion panels 21 are foldably connected to spacer panels 22 along fold lines 23, support flaps 24 are foldably connected to cushion panels 21 along fold lines 25. The fold lines 23 and 25 are parallel to the fold lines 19 and 20.
End tabs 26 are foldably connected to the ends of side wall panels 11 and 13 along fold line 27. The fold line 27 may be an extension of fold line 28 if the contents of the folder are rectangular, and are slightly angled from fold line 28 in the construction shown.
Closure panels 29 are foldably connected to bottom wall panel 12 along fold lines 28. End flaps 30 are foldably connected to closure panel 29 along fold line 31, locking tongues 34 are foldably connected to end flaps 30 along fold lines 36.
Top wall half-panels 1t) and 14 include slots 33 adapted to receive locking tongues 34. Spacer panels 22 include slots 35 also adapted to receive locking tongues 34. Slots 35 register with slots 33 when the spacer panels 22 are in face contact with the under surfaces of the top wall half- panels 10 and 14.
As seen in FIGURE 3 the folder is opened to receive a book, hinder, or similar objects. A loose-leaf binder B is diagrammatically shown as resting on bottom panel 12. In the instant drawing, the side wall panels 11 and 13 are trapezoidally shaped to permit the folder to snugly contain the binder when the folder is in closed position.
As seen in FIGURE 4 the loose-leaf binder B is snugly enclosed by the folder as shown by this cross section of FIGURE 1.
To close the folder, spacer panel 22 is folded inwardly 180 along fold lines 19 and 20 into face contact with top wall half-panels and 14. In this position, slot 35 is in registry with slot 33. Cushion panel 21 is then folded upwardly along fold line 23 to a position perpendicular to top wall half- panels 10 and 14. The width of cushion panel 21 is substantially equivalent to the width of the side Wall panels 11 and 13. Support flap 24 is folded outwardly along fold line 25 to a position parallel with top wall half- panels 10 and 14.
Side wall panel 11 is folded inwardly along fold line 16 and side wall panel 13 is folded inwardly along fold line 17. Top wall half- panels 10 and 14 are then folded inwardly along fold lines 15 and 18 respectively to a position perpendicular to side wall panels 11 and 13 respectively. A support flap 19 is in face contact with bottom wall panel 12.
As indicated in the perspective view in FIGURE 2 the folder is partially closed. To completely close the folder, end flaps 26 are folded inwardly along fold line 27. Closure panel 29 is folded inwardly along fold line 28 to a position overlying the end edges of top wall halfpanels 10 and 14 and overlying end tabs 26. End flap 30 is then folded inwardly along fold line 31 into face contact with top wall half- panels 10 and 14. Locking tongues 34 are folded inwardly along fold lines 36 and placed through locking tongue receiving slots 33 and 35, which are in registry, thereby securely locking top wall halfpanels together and securely holding cushion panels 21 in place.
In accordance with the patent statutes, I have described the principles of construction and operation of my folder for binders, books, and the like, and while I have endeavored to set forth the best embodiment thereof, I desire to have it understood that obvious changes may be made within the scope of the following claims without departing from the spirit of my invention.
