Definitions

  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a container having the improvements according to the present invention embodied therein;
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of a cut and scored blank for forming the container as seen in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating a step in forming the container of FIGS. 1 and 4;
  • FIG. 4 is a section taken along line 4-4 of FIG. 1 looking in the direction of arrows.
  • the improved container according to the present invention is referred to by the reference numeral and is formed from a cut and scored blank 10A.
  • the latter comprises opposed side panels 11 and 12, and opposed end panels 13 and 14, these being connected seriatim along fold lines 16.
  • a glue flap 17 is foldably connected to side'panel 11 along fold line 18, and the structure thus far disclosed may be connected to form a carton sleeve.
  • Closure flaps 19A, 19B, 19C and 19D extend from the aforementioned side and end panels 11 to 14 inclusive and are foldably connected thereto along a continuous fold line 21.
  • Each of the closure panels 19A to 19D inclusive is foldable with respect to the side and end panels connected thereto into a relationship as seen in FIGS. 1 and 3.
  • a pair of adjacent panels, such as panels 19A and 19D, are each provided with a score line 22 spaced from the distal edges of such adjacent closure flaps, score lines 22 being parallel to the line of fold 21 of such flap to the side or end panel as the case may be.
  • a slot 23 is provided in each of said pair of adjacent flaps and extends generally perpendicular to score line 22 from the distal edge of such flap. Slots 23 and the score lines 22 define a pair of closure tabs 26 and 27 on each side of slot 23.
  • the dimension A from a side edge 24 of panel 19A or 19D must be identical, so that the slots 23 move into interengagement as seen in FIG. 3.
  • the improved carton according to the present invention is closed in the convention pinwheel fashion.
  • Panel 19A is brought into position over panels 198 and 19D, with tab 26 of panel 19A brought beneath tab 26 of panel 19D, tab 27 of pane 19A remaining in overlap position with respect to panel 19D.
  • closure of the panels in a pinwheel fashion may be placed without substantial distortion of the closure flaps.
  • the unfolding of the closure panels may be achieved readily.
