GOLLAPSIBLE AUTOMATICALLY SET UP DISPLAY CONTAINER Filed June 14, 1965 2 Sheets-Sheet 3 United States Patent 3,300,166 COLLAPSIBLE AUTOMATICALLY SET U? DISPLAY CONTAINER Walter P. Wojciechowski, Hazlet, N.J., assignor to Container Corporation of America, Chicago, 111., a corporation of Delaware Filed June 14, 1965, Ser. No. 463,822 9 Claims. (Cl. 248-174) This invention relates to a container formed of foldable sheet material, such as paperboard, for holding and displaying a plurality of articles arranged haphazardly, and more particularly, this invention relates to a display container that is collapsible but yet that can be automatically set up when desired.
Present super-market type merchandising depends for a large part on stylish display of the articles to be sold. To promote sales, for example, the so called dump bin containers for haphazardly holding and displaying a plurality of articles have become quite popular. One reason for the popularity is that a very colorful display can be formed on the exposed surfaces of the container. Another reason is that the container can be large and can hold a sufficient supply of articles to require only infrequent restocking. Furthermore, such containers are portable and can be used just about anywhere.
Containers of this general type are commonly formed of a foldable sheet material, such as paperboard, and are shipped in a flat or collapsed condition. A drawback of presently known dump bin containers is the time and skill required to set up the container. This is so because of the many separate parts of the container and the manner of securing the parts together. Despite this, these containers continue to be much in demand.
This invention relates to an improved dump bin container which can be transported in 1a fiat, collapsed condition and which can be readily set up automatically when desired. The entire setting up operation is completed almost instantaneously and requires absolutely no skill. Furthermore, the subject display container, if it is desired, can be readily collapsed and returned to a flat compact position.
An object of this invention is to provide a dump bin container that is suitable for fiat shipment and that can be automatically and instantaneously set up or collapsed, when desired, with no required mechanical skills.
A more detailed object of this invention is to provide a dump bin container which has collapsible side walls and a pivotable bottom wall that cooperates in the set up position of the container with the side walls to form an open top bin and which further has elastic means between the bottom and side walls for biasing the bottom wall and container to its set up position.
These and other objects of this invention will be more fully appreciated after reference to the following specification and accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the subject dump bin display container shown in the set up condition;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the subject dump bin display container shown in a partially flat or collapsed condition;
FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the container disclosed in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a sectional view as seen generally from line 44 of FIG 1;
FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the container shown in FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is a top plan view of a blank suitably cut and scored to form the container disclosed in the previous figures; and
FIG. 7 is a top plan view of a blank suitably cut and "ice scored to form the bottom wall of the container disclosed in FIGS. l-5.
For the sake of clarity, immaterial details of construction have been intentionally eliminated from certain of the figures where they are believed adequately disclosed in others.
The subject dump bin container, generally designated C, is formed of two die cut and scored blanks 8 and 9 (FIGS. 6 and 7, respectively) of foldable sheet materal, such as paperboard, suitably secured together. The container C basically is tubular, and includes a base section 10 and a bin section 12 hinged together at their adjacent edges. A bottom wall 14 closes the open bottom of the bin 12. The container has vertical walls 15-26 for the front, rear and opposed sides, the Walls being hingedly interconnected at their opposite side edges on longitudinal score lines 2339. Note that the side walls 17- 20 and 23-36 are hinged intermediate their edges on score lines 30, 31 and 36, 37 to provide for their inward folding between the front and rear walls in the collapsed condition of the container.
Transverse panels 45-56 are formed intermediate the base section 10 and the bin section 12 of the container by means of three substantially parallel lines 60-77 extending across each of the panels successively and connected endwise with one another. The end edges of the transverse panels between the upper and lower hinge lines are notched as at 84 so that the transverse panels can extend normal to the vertical walls of the container into the tubular structure to define a transverse ledge 86 on the inside thereof. The bottom wall 14 for the bin section 12 is supported on the ledge 48. Preferably, the bottom wall 14 is secured by adhesive or other suitable means to the lower transverse panel 51 of the hinged connection.
In the set up condition of the container, as shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5, the bottom wall 14 is disposed above and is supported on the ledge 86 to close the open bottom end of the bin section 12. An elongated elastic member 88, such as a rubber band, extended between the lower end of base section 10 and the swinging end of the bottom wall 14 biases the bottom wall to the horizontal or transverse position across the tubular structure against the ledge. However, the bottom wall can be rotated upwardly in a counter-clockwise direction about its hinged connection (shown in FIG. 4) and the transverse panels can be extended vertically to permit the opposed side walls to be biased inwardly (see FIGS, 2 and 3) to collapse the container. Note that in the collapsed condition, the bottom wall is confined between the rear wall 22 and the side walls 20 and 24, and only a slight securing force between the front and rear panels of the container is required to maintain the container collapsed. However, upon releasing this force and by slightly pulling apart the front and rear walls, the bottom wall, being biased by the elastic member in its clockwise direction about its hinge connection (relative to FIG. 4) wedges the adjacent side panels 20 and 24 outwardly and in turn snaps in place against the ledge 48.
Incidental features of construction of the subject dump bin container are shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. For example, a fifth or glue panel 90, 91 is hinged on score lines 38 and 39 t0 the side edge of side wall 25, 26 and is secured in overlapping face-to-face relationship, as is well known in the art, to the front wall 15, 16 to form a tubular structure of rectangular cross section, open at its opposite ends. Also, reinforcing edge panels 92-95 are formed at the top edge of the bin to eliminate the exposed cut edge of the blank on the finished display bin. The panels 92-95 are folded into the tubular structure and secured by appropriate means such as adhesive to the main vertical panels of the bin. Similarly, the lower edge of the base vertical panel 21 below the hinged connection for the bottom wall has an inturn, panel 7 for connection to the elastic member 88. Moreover, the bottom wall has finger Opening 98 which can be used for readily lifting the bottom wall to collapse the container, and the hinged edge of the bottom wall is notched at 99, 100 to correspond with the transverse panels notches 82, 83.
While only a specific embodiment of the subject invention has been disclosed, it will be obvious that slight modifications are possible. Accordingly, it is desired that the invention be limited only by the scope of the claims hereinafter following.
