Definitions
- a collapsible compartmented tubular carry-out tray is [451 May l, 1973 formed from a cut and scored blank of paperboard and comprises spaced and parallel top and bottom panels hingedly connected to spaced parallel side wall panels to define a tube. Prior to forming of the blank into a tube, the top panel is provided with apertures adapted to receive cups or the like and a single larger aperture for a larger sized article. The formation of said aperture is concomitant with the formation of partition structure extending between the top and bottom panels to give stiffness to the tube in both lateral and longitudinal directions.
- the partition structure includes a panel member connected to the top panel along a first fold line parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tube.
- the panel member has a glue flap foldably connected thereto and glued to the bottom panel.
- the partition structure also includes a second pair of panel members extending perpendicularly to the axis of the tube and perpendicular to the first panel member, this second pair of panel members having flaps lying along the bottom panel and including means for locking the ends of such flaps to the bottom panel.
- a gusset fold is provided at an end of the second pair of panel members, the gusset fold being folded from a top panel and urging the distal end of each of the second pair of panel members into the locking aperture.
- the invention relates to service trays and more particularly to collapsible trays formed of paperboard for use in the handling and service of food and beverage at drive-in service establishments, such as out-door theatres, refreshment stands and the like.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a carry-out tray 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 carry-out tray of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the blank of FIG. 1, cut, scored, folded and glued to define a flattened tube;
- FIG. 4 is a vertical sectional view looking in the direction of the arrows 44 of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 5 is a vertical sectional view perpendicular to that seen in FIG. 4, looking in the direction of the arrows 5-5 ofFIG. l.
- the improved carry-out tray according to the present invention is denoted by the reference numeral and is provided with a cavity C, for the reception of an article A and a plurality of smaller openings in the top panel thereof, each being adapted to receive a cup C
- the carry-out tray 10 is formed from a cut and scored blank 10A seen in FIG. 2, which is cut and scored to define a top panel 11 and a pair of bottom panel portions 12 and 13, these being glued together along distal portions thereof to define a bottom panel parallel to the top panel 11.
- the blank 10A also includes a pair of parallel side wall panels 14 hingedly attached to the top and bottom panel 11 and 15 along fold lines 16 to define a tube as seen in FIG. 3.
- Top panel 11 is blanked as seen by the shaded portions thereof, and a plurality of generally circular apertures 17 are arranged in a row in the top panel 11, each of said apertures having radially inward extending tabs 18 which can-be depressed slightly so as to engage frictionally the side walls of a cup C placed into the opening 17.
- Top panel 11 is additionally cut and scored to define a partition structure extending between the top and bottom panels 11 and 15 to give stiffness to the tube in both lateral and longitudinal directions.
- the formation of said partition structure results in the formation of the cavity C for holding the article A.
- the partition structure comprises a panel member 19 connected to the top panel 11 along a first fold line 21.
- Panel member 19 extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tube seen in the several figures to give stiffness thereto in a longitudinal direction.
- Panel member 19 includes a glue flap 22 foldably connected thereto along a second fold line 23 parallel to the first fold line 21.
- Glue flap 22 is glued to the bottom wall 15 of the tube at a glue patch GP, and the edge of the glue flap 22 abuts the edge of the bottom panel portion 12, as seen more clearly in FIGS. 3 and 5.
- a second pair of panel members 24 extend perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the tube and perpendicular to the first panel member 19, panel members 24 being separated from the first panel member 19 along a mitre cut line 25.
- Each of the second pair of panel members 24 is foldably connected to the top panel 11 along a fold line 26, and each panel member 24 has a flap 27 foldably connected thereto along a fold line 30, the flap 27 lying along the inside of the bottom panel 15.
- each flap 27 is provided with a score line 33 defining a corner tab 32 adapted to engage with an aperture 34 in the bottom panel portion 12.
- one of the side panels 14 is provided with a mitre score line which intersects with a diagonal cut line 29 also defining in part the proximate end of the flap 27 and defining thereby a gusset panel 28.
- a fold is made along the fold line 31, as seen particularly in FIG. 1, and the flap 27 is urged thereby into the aperture 34.
- a collapsible compartmented, open-ended tubular carry out tray formed from a cut and scored blank of paperboard or the like and comprising:
- partition structure extending between said bottom and top panels for giving stiffness to said tube in both lateral and longitudinal directions thereof;
- said partition structure defining a cavity for reception of a transported article and being formed from said top panel;
- said partition structure comprising:
- a panel member connected to said top panel along a first fold line parallel to the longitudinal axis of said tube, and including a glue flap foldably connected to said panel along a second fold line parallel to said first fold line and glued to said bottom panel;
- structure for locking said pair of panel members to said bottom panel including:
- said gusset panel urging said distal end of said last named flap into said aperture.
