Definitions

  • This invention relates to bottle carriers of the wraparound type and more particularly is directed to means integrally formed with the wrapper for holding the bottles securely apart within the wrapper and against collision with each other and thereby to minimize breakage.
  • the wrapper is disposed about a group of packaged items in a very tight manner thereby to secure the packaged items in close contact with each other and in this way to protect against breakage due to collision.
  • Such packages are objectionable in that they impose a substantial stress on the packaged items and thereby render the bottles more subject to breakage upon collision with foreign objects.
  • the principal object of this invention is to provide an improved wrap-around type of bottle carrier wherein improved bottle engaging means are formed integrally with the wrapper so as to protect against bottle breakage.
  • Another object of this invention is the provision of improved bottle engaging means which is integrally formed with the wrapper itself and which serves to holdeach individual primary package in a secure position relative to the wrapper and somewhat spaced from its fellows thereby to prevent bottle contact and breakage.
  • the invention in one form as applied to a bottle carrier of the wrap-around type comprises a plurality of bottle engaging elements in the form of loop panels struck out of the wrapper and adjacent the top portions of the bottles for enveloping the neck portions thereof thereby to hold the bottles individually in secure positions relative to the wrapper, the bottles being slightly spaced from each other.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a bottle carrier to which the invention is applied;
  • FIG. 2 is an end view of the carrier depicted in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a side view of the carrier depicted in FIGS. 1 and 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the lines 4-4 as designated in FIG. 3; and in which
  • FIG. 5 is a plan view of the unitary blank from which the carrier depicted in FIGS. 1-4 is formed.
  • the numeral 1 designates a main central panel to the end edges of which a pair of end panels 2 and 3 are foldably joined along fold lines 4 and 5 respectively.
  • Web panels 6 and 7 are foldably joined to the end edges of the end panels 2 and Patented Sept. 5, 1967 3 respectively along lines which constitute extensions of the side edges of the main central panel 1.
  • web panels 8 and 9 are foldably joined to the opposite ends of the end panels 2 and 3 respectively.
  • the end panels are disposed at an angle to the main central panel 1 and are held in that position by the web panels 6-9, inclusive.
  • a pair of finger gripping apertures 10 are formed in the main central panel 1 in known manner.
  • top sloping panels 11 and 12 are foldably joined along the fold lines 13 and 14 to the side edges of the main central panel 1.
  • the web panels 6-9 inclusive are foldably joined to the ends of the end panels 2 and 3 and to the ends of the sloping panels 11 and 12.
  • a pair of side wall panels 15 and 16 are foldably joined to the top sloping panels 11 and 12, respectively, along the fold lines 17 and 18.
  • bottom sloping panels 19 and 20 are foldably joined to the bottom edges of side wall panels 15 .and 16 along the fold lines 21 and 22, respectively.
  • Formed in bottom sloping panel 19 are the bottle receiving openings 23, 24 and 25.
  • the bottom portion of the bottles protrude through the openings 23, 24 and 25 which serve to hold the bottles in place within the carrier and thereby aid in preventing bottle damage.
  • the openings 26, 27 and 28 are formed in the bottom sloping panel 20 and correspond to the openings 24 and 25.
  • a pair of bottom panels 29 and 30 are foldably joined respectively to the bottom sloping panels 20 and 19 along the fold lines 31 and 32.
  • a pair of tightening apertures 33 and 34 are formed within the bottom panel 29 and a pair of similar tightening apertures 35 and 36 are formed within the bottom panel 30.
  • suitable machine elements enter the tightening apertures 33 and 34 and move underneath the group of articles toward the bottom panel 30.
  • Similar machine elements enter the tightening apertures 35 and 36 and draw the panel 30 toward the bottom panel 29;
  • the locking tabs 37-40formed in the bottom panel 29 are driven through the locking openings defined by the retaining tabs 41-44 formed in the bottom panel 30.
  • the panels 29 and 30 are arranged in overlapping relationship with the panel 30 disposed on the inside.
  • a pair of end closure panels 53 and 54 are foldably joined along fold lines 55 and 56 respectively to the ends of the side wall panel 15.
  • a pair of end closure panels 57 and 58 are foldably joined along fold lines 59 and 60 respectively to the end edges of side wall panel 16.
  • a hooked interlocking tab '61 is formed on the inner edge of end panel 53 while a similar interlocking tab 62 is formed on the inner edge of end panel 54.
  • a pair of slits 63 and 64 are formed respectively in the end panels 57 and 58. As can best be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the tab 61 simply slips through the slit 63 from outside so as to secure the end panels 53 and 57 to each other.
  • a pair of locking notches are formed in a medial keel panel designated by the numeral 65 and foldably joined along fold line 66 to one edge of the bottom panel 30.
  • the notches are designated at 67 and 68.
  • the keel panel 65 normally is disposed in perpendicular relationship to the bottom panels 29 and 30 as is best shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4 and separates the rows of bottles to aid in protecting the bottles against breakage.
  • the outer end panel 53 is simply forced inwardly toward the end bottles until the lower portion thereof rides into the locking notch 67.
  • this arrangement serves to hold both panels 53 and 57 securely closed.
  • end closure panels 54 and 58 are held in the closed position by locking notch 68 at the other end of medial keel panel 65.
  • the end panel 53 is configured to conform with the adjacent portions of the wrapper as is the end panel 57.
  • end panel 53 is bevelled as indicated at 69 so as to conform generally with the disposition of top sloping panel 11.
  • end panel 53 is bevelled as indicated at 70 so as to cause the end panel 53 to conform generally with the disposition of bottom sloping panel 19.
  • the end panel 57 is bevelled at 71 and 72.
  • End panels 54 and 58 are constructed in a manner to cause those panels to conform to the opposite end of the carrier.
  • a plurality of bottle engaging elements 73, 74 and 75 are struck at least in part from sloping panel 11 and similarly bottle engaging loop panels 76, 77 and 78 are struck at least in part from sloping panel 12.
  • These loop panels are swung inwardly relative to the sloping panels 11 and 12 and the main central panel 1 into positions overlying and enveloping the neck portions of the packaged bottles as best shown for example in FIG. 4 where the loops 74 and 77 are shown as disposed about the necks of the bottles B and immediately below the lower edge of the caps C for the bottles.
  • FIG. 4 it is apparent that the bottles B are held apart in spaced relation due to the action of the 100p panels 74 and 77.
  • each loop panel and its notch constitute secure holding means for preventing substantial movement of the enveloped bottle neck relative to the wrapper.
  • the loop panels define a plurality of bottle covering tabs designated in the drawing by the numerals 79-84, inclusive. These tabs simply overlie the caps of the bottles and afford protection therefor and conveniently are defined by the inner configuration of the inner edges of the associated loop panels.
  • the package primary articles such as the bottles B are effectively anchored relative to the wrapper and in spaced relation to each other. In this manner protection is afforded against bottle breakage and package security is substantially enhanced.
  • top portion is used. It is to be understood that this term contemplates the main central panel 1 as well as the top sloping panels 11 and 12.
  • bottom portion is also used in the claims. It is to be understood that this terminology contemplates the bottom portion of the carrier including the bottom panels 29 and 30 as well as the bottom sloping panels 19 and 20.
  • a wrap-around type of bottle carrier comprising a main central panel, a sloping panel foldably joined to a side edge of said main central panel, a loop panel of generally arcuate semi-circular configuration struck at least in part from said sloping panel and defining a notch therein for receiving a part of a neck of a bottle, said loop panel being swung inwardly into enveloping relation to a bottle neck thereby to restrain it against a substantial transverse movement in any direction relative to the carrier.
  • a bottle package comprising a sheet of flexible material with its ends secured together to form a wrapper having top and bottom portions interconnected by a pair of side portions, at least one capped bottle 'disposed within the wrapper with its to and neck portions disposed underneath said top portion of the wrapper, and a loop panel of generally arcuate semicircular configuration struck out of said top portion of the wrapper and folded inwardly so as to evelope the top of the bottle and with at least a part thereof disposed underneath the bottle cap, said loop panel being effective to prevent substantial movement of the bottle relative to the wrapper.
  • a bottle carrier for packaging two rows of bottles arranged in a rectilinear pattern with their axes substantially parallel, said carrier comprising a sheet of flexible material with its ends secured together to form top and bottom portions interconnected by a pair of side portions, said top portion being arranged to overlie the tops of the bottles, and a plurality of loop panels struck out of said top portion and folded inwardly into enveloping engagement respectively with the tops of the bottles, said loop panels being arranged in tension to hold the tops of the bottles in each row securely against a side portion of the carrier so as to prevent substantial movement toward the adjacent bottles in the other row thereby to maintain bottle separation and package stability.
