ROLL PACKAGE Filed June 20 1.967 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 United States Patent 3,405,797 ROLL PACKAGE Richard J. Dwyer, Jr., Bellbrook, Ohio, assignor to Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Neenah, Wis., a corporation of Delaware Filed June 20, 1967, Ser. No. 647,353 4 Claims. (Cl. 206-52) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An improved package for shipping and handling a roll of paper of the type suitable for use with modified officesize printing and copying machines. The package consists of a paper roll contained in a snug-fitting rectangular shipping container of corrugated board. The two end walls of the container consists of three thicknesses of board for improved structural strength. Partially die-cut openings are provided near the top end of each of these end walls to serve as hand-grips. Triangular wedges of folded corrugated board are disposed in two opposing corners of the container to block the roll in position and add further structural strength. A circumferential tear strip disposed adjacent one of the reinforced ends nrovides means for easy opening.
Background of the invention In a recent development, office-size printing machines have been modified to use paper supplied in bulk rolls rather than pre-cut sheets. These rolls are about two feet in diameter and are from about 8 /2 to 11" wide. They weigh in the neighborhood of 100 to 150 pounds each. Some difiiculty has been encountered in developing a package suitable for protecting the roll from damage during shipment and at the same time providing a package which is convenient to ship and easy to handle.
Most supply rolls of the type involved are presently packaged in conventionally designed corrugated containers having the usual nonoverlapping flaps to seal the ends. No additional provisions are made to protect the roll from damage or to serve as a handling aid. Because these conventional containers have a nonreinforced construction, the package is usually shipped with the roll standing in upright position to minimize damage. In spite of such precautions, damage still occurs when such conventional packages are used, not only because no provisions are made to reinforce the package but also because package size makes it awkward to handle.
The improved package of this invention protects the roll by providing a corrugated outer container of reinforced construction. The container also provides integral hand-grip means to facilitate handling, and has an easyopening arrangement conveniently coordinated with the reinforced ends and handling grips.
Summary of the invention The improved package of this invention comprises the combination of an outer rectangular container of corrugated board having two end walls constructed of three thicknesses of corrugated board, and a paper roll of a size suitable for ofiice printing machines snugly fitted therein. The roll is blocked in nonshifting position within the container by two triangular wedges made of folded corrugated board and disposed in opposing corners of the container. The reinforced end walls are provided with partially cut openings arranged near one end to provide integral hand grips into which the fingers may be inserted when it is desired to carry the package to its point of use. A tear strip is provided in the two side walls and the top wall adjacent one of the reinforced end walls to provide convenient opening means.
It is the principal object of this invention to provide an improved reinforced package for paper rolls designed to minimize the possibility of the roll being damaged during shipment.
Another object is to provide a shipping package for paper rolls having integral hand-gripping means in two of the walls to facilitate handling.
A further object is to provide a roll-containing package which has reinforced end walls of sufficient strength to permit side-stacking without collapse.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed specification and attached drawings.

Description of the preferred embodiment The improved package, as shown in the drawings, comprises a rectangular container 10 of corrugated paperboard having disposed therein a roll of paper 20 wound on a central core 21. Container 10 is comprised of a top wall 11, a bottom wall 12, a front end wall 13, a rear end wall 14, and two side walls 15 and 16. As will be seen by reference to the drawings, top wall 11, bottom wall 12 and side walls 15 and 16 of the container each comprise a single thickness of double wall corrugated board. Front end wall 13 and rear end wall 14 of the container each comprise three thicknesses of double-wall corrugated board. The three thicknesses of corrugated board in the front end wall 13 are secured to each other by adhesive or other suitable means and are comprised of inner flaps 11a and 12a (which are front extensions of top and bottom wall panels 11 and 12 respectively), central flap 16a (which is a front extension of side wall 16), and outer flap 15a (which is a front extension of side wall 15). The three thicknesses of rear end wall 14 are similarly joined to each other and are made up of inner flaps 11b and 12b (which are rear extensions of top and bottom wall panels 11 and 12 respectively), central flap 16]) (which is a rear extension of side wall 16), and outer flap 15b (which is a rear extension of side Wall 15). Near the top center of front end wall 13 there is provided a partially cut out section 24, which provides an integral hand-receiving opening forming a grip for use in carrying the container. A similar arrangement is provided in rear end wall 14, not shown. Section 24 is substantially rectangular in shape and is defined by lines completely cut through at the ends and bottom 26 and by a top fold line 25 which may be prescored. In the assembled container, section 24 is coextensive with the die- cut apertures 18 and 19 in flaps 11a and 16a respectively from which the cutout paperboard sections have been removed, so that section 24 may easily be pushed inwardly along line 25 to form a convenient hand gripping means.
Side walls and 16, and top wall 11 are provided with a weakened area or a continuous tear strip 17 in close proximity to the front end of the carton, which when stripped off will permit manual removal of front end wall 13 for access to the roll. It is not necessary for the tear strip to extend through bottom wall 12 for reasons later explained, but the tear strip may extend therethrough as an optional arrangement.
In one method of assembling the package, the container is first folded into a rectangular tube on the transverse fold'or score lines shown, with flap 22 being adhesively secured, or stapled, to the bottom of panel 15. Flaps 12b and 11b are then folded inwardly. Flap 16b is then folded over flaps 12b and 11b and adhesively or otherwise secured thereto. Flap 15b is then folded over flap 16b and also secured thereto. Other sequences also may be used for assembling the container to arrive at its set-up condition.
After the container is set-up, triangular blocking wedge may then be inserted in its proper position inside the container and adhesively or otherwise secured to the upper corner at the juncture of panel 11 and extension flap 11b. Paper roll 20, wound on central core 21, may then be rolled into the container from the open front end. After the roll is in place, another triangular blocking insert 30 is placed under the roll at the juncture of Wall 12 and flap 12a. Flaps 12a and 12b are then'folded inwardly, followed by flaps 16a and 15a, all secured to each other by suitable means. The package is then ready for shipment.
The lower triangular blocking wedge may or may not be secured to wall 12. If it is attached thereto, then panel 34 of the wedge should not be attached to panel 31. Not attaching the latter two panels together enables the insert to be unfolded to its original fiat configuration after the package is opened, as shown in FIG. 2a, whereby the roll may be easily rolled into or out of the open container.
Also, in the modification where tear strip 17 extends through the bottom wall, as well as the other three walls of the container, the lower triangular blocking insert optionally may not be attached to wall 12. If the tear strip does not extend through the bottom wall, then only panel 31 of the triangular insert may be attached so that the insert can be unfolded as shown in FIG. 2a, to facilitate manipulation of the roll when the container is opened.
The triple-reinforced end walls of the container provide the package with exceptional strength parallel to the roll axis. This construction permits several packages to be stacked on one another with the rolls disposed on their sides for convenience in palletizing and shipping. The reinforced ends, assisted by additional structural support offered by the triangular wedges, insure against collapse of the container under the weight of the other stacked packages and prevent potential damage to the roll from crushing. One example of a suitable palletizing arrange ment is shown in FIG. 5. In that arrangement, a number of individual packages 10 are stacked on their sides in two tiers of four each on a conventional type pallet 43. The stacks are strapped in place by the usual steel or plastic strapping 41, and the palletized arrangement may be handled as a unit for warehousing and shipping.
