Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A package with a carrying handle in which lugs are provided in one of the side walls of the package.
  • the lugs are cut out and can be folded out of the plane of the wall about a base to a position at right angles to the plane and in the folded position form a handle.
  • the bases are parallel to each other and are ofiset with respect to each other in the longitudinal direction.
  • the invention relates generally to the art of packaging, and more particularly to packages having a handle formed as a part thereof.
  • the package according to the invention is characterized in that at least two lugs extend in the plane of the side wall, each comprising a recess and situated in at least one of the said side walls of the package.
  • the lugs can each be folded about a base outwards and against each other to a position at right angles to said plane and in that position together form a handle while the two recesses are partly or fully situated against each other.
  • the lugs can be cut, for example, by a punching operation and are then coupled to the side wall of the packing at their bases only. When the packing is not used, the lugs are situated in the plane of the package and do not disturb its appearance. When the package is to be transported, it is only necessary to push the lugs out of said plane, bring them together and hold them.
  • the lugs may be constructed with recesses provided in the edge of each lug, and the ends of the lugs remote from the bases may be hooked behind each other or be secured together by gluing or riveting.
  • a handle is preferably used in which each lug has an aperture enclosed by the material of the lug.
  • Such a set of lugs with recesses is preferably chosen to be congruent of shape. This simplifies the choice of tools when the lugs are to be cut from a plate of, for example, corrugated cardboard.
  • the two lugs can be folded outwards about bases extending parallel to each other, for example, folding lines of equal length.
  • the two bases cover each other, the distance between the two bases may not come below a given value. This also depends upon the choice of the packaging material.
  • a practical size for corrugated cardboard is, for example, 13 mm.
  • each lug When the bases of each lug is formed by a grooved seam in the case of corrugated cardboard or by a grooved seam in the case of a synthetic material, a practical measure of the distance between the two parallel seams may be said to be to 4 times the thickness of the material.
  • FIG. 1 shows a part of a package comprising a handle
  • FIGS. 2 to 7 relate to several embodiments of lugs cut in a wall of the package and forming handles in the position in which they are foldedoutwards.
  • the handle shown in FIG. 1 is formed from two congruent lugs l and 3 which are both provided with an aperture 5,7. These lugs I and 3 form part of the wall 9 of a package in the form of a box. For clarity, only a part of the upper wall of said package is shown.
  • the lugs 1 and 3 have been obtained by providing cuts 11 and 13 in the wall 9 shown diagrammaticallyin FIG. 2.
  • the bases of the trapezoidal cuts which are rounded at their ends are denoted by the broken lines 15 and 17, along which bases the lugs l and 3 can be folded upwards.
  • Said bases are formed by seams provided as grooves in a cardboard package and as grooves in a package of a synthetic resin. In a position in which the lugs are folded against each other, a handle is obtained as is shown in FIG. 1. Although it is not necessary, the
  • two lugs l and 3 can be permanently secured together in said latter position.
  • the lugs 1 and 3 form a part of the wall 9 and do not mar a package as such.
  • the weight of the package with contents is favorably distributed over the handle. It has surprisingly been found that the resistance against tear at the rounded ends of the bases is considerably increased, so that the distance a can be chosen to be particularly small and nevertheless a large pulling force can be transferred. In accordance with the material chose, the distance a is 0 to 4 times the thickness of the chosen material.
  • the displacement of the bases 15 and 17 relative to each other in the longitudinal direction is preferably chosen to be so that the ratio b/c exceeds 0.20.
  • FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 show further possibilities of shapes of cuts.
  • the bases of every two lugs are shown as a common line along which the lugs are folded.
  • FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of lugs 19, 21 which do not show closed apertures 5 and 7 as in the preceding Figures, but recesses 23, 25.
  • the ends 31 and 33 of the lugs can be hooked behind each other so that the lugs will be prevented from returning to their original position because of the resilience of the material. So in this manner a handle is also formed.
  • the ends'3l and 33 may also be secured together by gluing or riveting.
  • FIG. 7 shows a variation of FIG. 6.
  • the lugs 35 and 37 each comprise a bent side edge formed by sides 39 and 41.
  • the lug 35 is also shown as a replica and denoted by 43; in the folded position the sides 39, 41 and 45 and the surface 9 (see FIG. I) enclose a closed aperture.
  • a package with a carrying handle comprising a pair of lugs formed as cut-outs extending in a plane of one side wall of the package, each of said lugs having a base and being formed so that each lug can be folded outwards against each other about its respective base to a position at right angles to said plane, said bases being parallel to each other and offset with respect to each other in a longitudinal direction, and a recess formed in each of said lugs so that when said lugs are folded to a position at right angles to said plane the recess will be at least partially aligned with each other so as to form a carrying handle.
