Definitions
- ABSTRACT A cushioned shipping folder for books or the like is characterized by a pair of end cells of rectangular configuration with a reinforcing member extending diagonally within the cell to cause the cell to be resistant to crushing or other deformation.
- the reinforcing member is so configured that the distal edges thereof together with the distal edge of a main panel of the folder are caused to be held snugly in a line of fold of the end cell.
- the invention herein relates to cushioned folders for books or the like, the structure according to the present invention being characterized by a pair of hollow end cells resistant to crushing or other deformation to prevent the book from having the corners of the binding thereof from-becoming dog cared" during shipment.
- Each of the end cells has a rectangular configuration spacing the ends of the book from the ends of the folder, the rectangular cell being characterized by a diagonally extending strut therein causing the cell to be resistant to crushing or other deformation.
- the strut is arranged to be held in the line of fold of the end cell.
- the folder is formed from a cut and scored blank having elements thereof foldable to enclose the book and defining the aforesaid cells protecting the ends of the book during shipment.
- the cushioned folder is formed from a sheet of foldable paperboard or the like, the sheet being cut and folded to embrace a book to be shipped therein, the forming of the folder about the book resulting in the formation of a cell at each end of the folder having a reinforcing rib therein preventing deformation thereof.
- FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a cushioned shipping folder constructed in accordance with the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a plan view of a cut and scored blank for forming the folder of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the steps in forming the folder about a book
- FIG. 4 is an elevational view looking in the direction of the arrows 4-4 of FIG. 3;
- FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line 5-5 of FIG. 3, looking in the direction of the arrows.
- the improved cushioned shipping folder denoted by the reference numeral 111 seen in FIG. 1 is formed from a cut and scored blank A seen in FIG. 2.
- the folder l0 seen in FIG. 1 is adapted to enclose a book or other flat article B.
- Blank 10A and folder 10 consist of opposed major panels 11 and 12 and opposed minor panels 13 and 14, these being hingedly connected together along score lines 16 to form a tubular structure.
- An outer closure flap 17 is connected to the minor parallel wall 14 along a fold line 18, and closure flap 17 is adapted to' be closed against the underside of major wall 12, upon the closing of the folder 10 as seen in FIG. 1, flap 17 being secured to wall 12 in any convenient manner.
- a closure and protecting structure is provided for each end of the folder l0.and consists-of first and second inner flaps l9 and 22 foldably connected to each other along a fold line 23, inner flap 19 being connected to wall 12 along a fold line 21.
- First inner flap 19 is defined also by cut lines 25A extending from the fold line 21 to the fold line 23 connecting the second inner flap 22 to the first inner flap 19.
- the second inner flap 22 has the ends 24 thereof separated from the wall 12 along a cut line 25, there being a notch 27A at each end of the second inner flap 22 defined in part by a short cut line 26 extending inward from the distal edge 27 of'the second flap 22.
- the inner flap 19 is erected to a position perpendicular to the major wall 12, and the length of the edge 27, between the notches 27A at each end of the second inner flap 22, corresponds to the distance between the cut lines 25A extending from score line 21 to the score line 23.
- the second flap 22 can be folded to an oblique position with the notches 27A resting against the cut edges 25 in the wall 12.
- the closure structure also includes a first outer flap 29 foldably connected to the second outer flap 32 along a fold line 33, first outer flap 29 being foldably connected to major wall 11 along a fold line 31.
- first outer flap 29 is folded at right angles to the other major wall ll.
- second outer flap 32 is folded against the opposite major wall 12 as seen more clearly in FIGS. 4 and 5. Flap 32 can be glued or otherwise secured to the major wall 12.
- the dimension of the second inner flap 22 is such as to extend diagonally from the major wall 12 to the opposite major wall 11. It may be noted also that the arrangement of the inner flap 19, the first outer flap 29, the second outer flap 32 and the major walls 11 and 12 is such as to provide a cell of rectangular cross section reinforced against deformation by reason of the second inner flap 22 extending diagonally therein to brace said cell.
- the diagonally extending flap 22 presents but a single fold or thickness of material at the line of fold 33.
- a cushioned shipping folder formed from a unitary blank of foldable paperboard or the like, comprising:
- first and second inner flaps foldably connected to each other with the first one of said flaps being foldably connected to one of said major parallel walls adjacent to the end thereof;
- said first inner flap being folded to a position generally perpendicular to said one major parallel wall; Y i. said first inner flap having a length less than the width of said one major parallel wall,
- said second inner flap of said pair of inner flaps being folded angularly with respect to said first inner flap and angularly with respect to said one major parallel wall to provide an end cell of triangular cross section;
- first andsecond outer flaps foldably connected to each other with one of said outer flaps being foldably connected to one end of the other of said major parallel walls;
- said first outer flap being folded to a position generally perpendicular to said other major parallel wall
- said inner and outer pairs of flaps defining a deformation resistant cell of generally rectangular cross section with said second inner flap extending angularly therein to brace said cell;
- said inner flap and the end of said first major parallel wall at the exposed cut surfaces thereof being engageable with a a line of fold of said outer pairs of flaps to provide a snug bearing at said fold line between said outer pairs of flaps and providing a generally rectangular cross section cell having said inner flap extending diagonally therein to brace said rectangular cross section cell.
