Definitions

  • end closure panels have integral fold-back panels that assume a position lying against the underside of the front and -rear roof panels.
  • the foldback panels, and the front and rear roof panels are formed with integral ridge panels, which get to be disposedv in vertical contacting relation and are joined together, usually, by some form of adhesive to form the ridge of the gable top.
  • the ridge panels surmounting each pair of foldback panels, are bent on a score line located at the apex of the adjacent end closure panel.
  • These fold or hinge joints, of the fold-back ridge panels theoretically, meet at the center of the gable top ridge.
  • the inner ridge panels of the ridge formation do not meet, or abut, at the center of the ridge, with the result that frequently the erected container will leak at the center of the ridge if it is tipped or inverted.
  • This invention has as an object a gable top container embodying a structural arrangement wherein the inner folds, or hinge joints, ofthe ridge panels, surmounting the fold-back panels, always engage or slightly overlap, Whereby when the ridge panels in the ridge structure are sealed together, there is no passage or interstice through which the contents of the container may pass, this result being obtained by a novel scoring arrangement of the paperboard blank from which the container is erected.
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a container embodying my invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is a plan view of the at blank from which the container is erected.
  • FIGURE 3 is a perspective view of the gable top structure, with a portion of the rear roof wall removed and contiguous portion of the ridge panel surmounted the same.
  • FIGURE 4 is a top plan view of the sealed ridge structure.
  • the blank from which the container is erecte-d is scored in the conventional manner as at 10, 11, 12, and 13 to form side wall panels 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19. These scores extend vertically from the lower edge of the blank to the upper edge thereof.
  • this transversely extending score line has portions 20 which are offset upwardly from the portions 21, however, this score -line may extend in the same plane throughout its entire length.
  • the score line portion 20 in conjunction with the vertical score lines 11, 12, define a front side wall 17 and, in conjunction with the score lines 10, 13, define panels 15, 19, the free edges of which overlap to form, in the erected container, a rear side wall panel.
  • the score -line portion 21, in conjunction with the vertical score lines 10 and 11, define anend Wall panel 16-and, in conjunction with the score lines 12 and 13, dene an opposed end Wall panel 18.
  • the main function of the transversely extending score line 22 is to define ridge panels surmounting the front and rear roof panels and the fold-back panels 41, 42.
  • the ridge panel surmounting the front roof panel is indicated at 43
  • the ridge panel surmounting' the rear roof panel 37 is indicated at ⁇ 45.
  • the container is formed from an integral, one-piece blank, ⁇ the ridge panels are all connected together, and those above the end panels 40 ⁇ are divided into .
  • a section 49 surmounting the fold-back panels 41, 'and a section 50 surmounting the fold-back panels 42, these ridge panels 49, 50 being hingedly connected together at the score lines 51, which extend upwardly from the apexes of the end panels 40..
  • the general arrangement of the scoring described is of conventional form.
  • the important ⁇ feature Vof this invention results from .a novel modification of the upper por'- tions of the vertical score lines 10-13, which results inthe ridge panel sections 49, 50 each'having .a length exceeding one half -of the length of the ridge panels 43, 45 surmounting the front and rear roof closure panels.
  • the upper portions 61, 62, of the scores 11, 12, are of extended width and in a direction toward the center of the front roof panel above the score line 20. Also, the -upper portions 60, 63, of the Ascore lines 10, 13, are of extended width in a direction toward the center of the rear roof panel 37.
  • All of the ridge panels 43, 45, 49 and 50 are sealed and bonded together by adhesive, at least in the central area of the ridge structure, and in the container disclosed, they are so bonded together throughout their entire contacting surfaces, that is, throughout their entire lengths.
  • the blank shown in FIGURE 2 is formed of paperboard and has bonded to both sides thereof, a coating of thermoplastic material which serves, Iby the ⁇ application of heat and pressure, to provide the adhesive means dor permanently bonding the ridge panels together.
  • the ridge panels surmounting the ⁇ front and rear roof panels, and sunmounting the end panels are all lof equal length, and in manipulating these panels to lfolded, closed position, the hinge joint between the ridge panel sections, surmounting the foldback panels, fail to meet or abut at the center of the ridge structure and, accordingly, there is a space between the inner ifolded ends of the inner ridge panels surmounting the fold-back panels and, this spacing has a dimension transversely yof the ridge .structure equivalent to double the thickness of' the blank due to the folded inner ridge panels, whereby there is, accordingly, -a small aperture for the escape of liquid contents from the container.
  • a igable top container of sheet 'material comprising a tubular body having our side walls -of equal width, a bottom closure tixed to said body, a pair of yopposed roof panels inclining toward each other and overlying the top of the body, a pair of opposed triangular end closure panels infolded between said roof panels ⁇ from the opposite gable ends formed by the latter, and with their apexes located at the central area of the gable, ⁇ first and second pairs of triangular fold-back panels, each pair of triangular fold-back panels being joined to the ⁇ opposite .sides of a respective yone of said triangular end closure panels along -fold' lines which are in proximity with said roof panels, said fold-back panels being folded against the underside of said r-oof panels, a 4rid-ge panel sunmounting each of said roof panels, a ridge panel surmounting each of said fold-back panels, each pair of ridge panels surmounting a pair of k
  • a paperboard blank for fonming a container of rectangular Iformation and having a gable top said blank being formed with laterally spaced-apart score lines extending vertically from the lower to the upper edge lof the blank, a score line extending transversely of the blank in downward spaced relation to the upper edge thereof, said latter score line, in conjunction with said vertically extending score lines, ⁇ deiining -opposed front and rear side wall panels and opposed end wall panels, a second transversely extending score line arranged intermediate the upper edge of said blank and said tirst transversely extending score line and defining, in conjunction therewith, and with said vertically extending score lines, a front roof panel surmounting said front side wall panel, a -rear roo-f panel surmounting said rear side wall panel, and an area surmounting each :of said end wall panels, each of said areas being provided with converging score lines inclining upwardly from said lirst transverse score line to said second transverse
