- ABSTRACT A safety pouring package for dangerous chemicals wherein the chemical is contained in a bottle.
- a bottle containing a dangerous chemical, such as a concentrated acid, is completely enclosed in a tubular carton.
- the carton is tall enough to ensure that the finish portion of the bottle does not project beyond the open end of the carton.
- a pouring notch is cut in one sidewall panel of the carton.
- a hand hole aperture is cut in a sidewall panel of the carton opposed the pouring notch.
- a bottle retaining insert is pressed into the carton and located in position by the shoulder of the bottle below the finish of the bottle. The insert may be held in place by retaining panels, which overlie the insert, formed in the carton sidewall.
- the insert may have a plurality of upwardly extending flaps which serve to form a reservoir for any of the bottle contents which may be spilled.
- one of the flaps would be slotted in alignment with the pouring notch, and another flap would have a hand hole aperture in registry with the hand hole aperture in the carton.
- a person may transfer the contents of the bottle by lifting the carton at the hand hole aperture and pouring through the notch. Thus, the hand of the person need never touch the bottle.
- This invention generally relates to a package for a fragile article. More particularly, this invention relates to a package for a bottle filled with a dangerous chemical. Most specifically, this invention relates to a package of the type described which allows the contents of the bottle to be transferred without the necessity of a person touching the bottle.
- My invention is a safety pour-out package for a bottle having a shoulder portion and a finish portion.
- the bottie is placed in a tubular carton having a plurality of sidewalls foldably connected together in a closed configuration and bottom closure flaps foldably connected to the lower ends of the sidewall panels to provide a closed bottom.
- the height of the carton is such that the finish portion of the bottle is completely contained within the carton.
- One of the sidewall panels has formed therein a pouring notch extending from the edge of the panel away from the bottom closure flaps to a point intermediate the height of the sidewall panel.
- One of the sidewall panels located opposite the pouring notch has formed therein a hand hole aperture.
- a bottle retaining means is positioned in the carton for holding the bottle in the carton.
- the bottle retaining means has an aperture formed therein for passing it over the bottle finish to allow positioning of the bottle retaining means by the bottle shoulder portion.
- the combined package allows the contents of the bottle to be poured through the pouring notch, thereby avoiding contact of the hand of a person with the bottle.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view of the blank for the tubular car-
- FIG. 5 is an elevation view of the assembled package of FIG. 4 with the tubular overcarton removed and one sidewall panel of the main carton removed to show the shipping configuration of the bottle and bottle retaining insert;
- FIG. 6 is a top plan view of the package of the present invention in its pouring configuration with the overcar ton removed;
- FIG. 7 is a cross sectional elevation view taken along the line 7-7 of FIG. 6;
- FIG. 8 is an enlarged perspective view, with parts broken away, of the upper portion of the package of FIG. 6 illustrating the bottle insert retaining panels and the alignment of the hand hole apertures;
- FIG. 9 is a partial cross sectional view similar to FIG. 7 showing the pouring or transfer of the contents of the bottle through the notch into a suitable unit of use container.
- FIG. 1 illustrates .a blank 10 from which the tubular carton member of the present invention is formed.
- a linear series of sidewall panels l2, 13, 14 and 15 are hingedly connected together by fold lines 16.
- End closure flaps l8, 19, and 21 are hingedly connected to the sidewall panels 12, 13, 14 and 15 by respective fold lines 22, 23, 24 and 25.
- a manufacturers joint tab could be attached to the sidewall panel 12 or 15 for construction purposes.
- this particular blank 10 is erected and formed into a tubular carton with a taped joint, therefore eliminating the need for a manufacturers joint tab.
- a hand hole aperture 28 is cut into the sidewall panel 12.
- a pouring notch 29 is cut from the sidewall panel 14, the pouring notch 29 being defined by two substantially parallel cut lines 30 and 31 which extend from the free edge of the sidewall panel 14 toward the fold line 24.
- the cut lines 30 and 31 are coextensive, and are connected at their lower terminal points by a connecting cut line 32 to thus form the pouring notch 29 in the sidewall panel 14.
- a first insert retaining panel 34 is located on the sidewall panel 15.
- the insert retaining panel 34 has a fold line 35 which is positioned intermediate the length of the fold line 16 connecting the sidewall panel 15 to the sidewall panel 14 and intermediate the width of the sidewall panel 15. The actual position of the fold line 35 is dictated, as will be seen later, by the height of a bottle contained within the tubular carton erected from the blank 10.
- a cut line 36 extends from the terminal point of the fold line 35 closer to the fold line 25 to and through the fold line 16 connecting the sidewall panel 15 to the sidewall panel 14.
- a cut line 37 extends from the opposite terminal point-of the fold line 35 to and through the fold line 16 connecting the sidewall panel 15 to the sidewall panel 14.
- a second insert retaining panel 40 is formed on the sidewall panel 14.
- a fold line 41 is located on the sidewall panel 14 to partially define the second insert retaining panel 40. The fold line 41 is located approximately the same distance from the fold line 16 connecting the sidewall panels 14 and 15, as is the fold line 35. In addition, the fold line 41 is substantially parallel to, and coextensive with, the fold line 35.
- a out line 42 extends from the terminal point of the fold line 41, which is nearer the fold line 24, to, and connects with, the out line 36.
- a cut line 43 extends from the opposite terminus of the fold line 41 to, and connects with, the cut line 37.
- a third insert retaining panel 46 is located on the sidewall panel 13.
- the third insert retaining panel has a fold line 47, which is positioned intermediate the length of the fold line 16 connecting the sidewall panel 13 to the sidewall panel 12 and intermediate the width of the sidewall panel 13.
- the fold line 47 will be parallel to and substantially coextensive with the fold lines 41 and 35.
- a cut line 48 extends from the terminal point of the fold line 47 nearest the fold line 23 toward and through the fold line 16 connecting the sidewall panel 13 to the sidewall panel 12.
- a out line 49 extends from the opposite terminal point of the fold line 47 toward and through the fold line 16 connecting the sidewall panel 13 to the sidewall panel 12.
- a fourth insert retaining panel 52 is located on the sidewall panel 12. The fourth insert retaining panel 52 has a fold line 53 located intermediate the length of the fold line 16 connecting the sidewall panel 12 to the sidewall panel 13 and intermediate the width of the sidewall panel 12.
- the fold line 53 is preferably parallel to, and coextensive with, the fold line 47.
- the fourth insert retaining panel 52 is then further defined by a out line 54 which extends from the terminal point of the fold line 53 nearest the fold line 22 toward, and connecting with, the cut line 48.
- a cut line 55 extending from the opposite terminal point of the fold line toward, and connecting with, the cut line 49 completes the definition of the fourth insert retaining panel 52.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a blank 60 for a bottle retaining insert.
- the blank 60 is composed of a generally square central panel 62 having an aperture 63 located generally centrally thereof.
- the aperture 63 may be seen to be of a generally keyhole shape having a circular portion 64 and a connected notch portion 65.
- the panel 62 need not necessarily be square, but may be generally rectangular in shape or of any shape required to fit a particular carton. However, in this specific example, the panel 62 is generally square.
- Four flaps are hingedly connected to the central panel 62 along score lines.
- Two positioning flaps 68 and 69 are attached to the central panel 62 at opposed sides of the central panel 62 along respective score lines 70 and 71.
- the diagonally opposed comers of the positioning flaps 68 and 69 have notched portions 74 and 75.
- a handle flap 76 is attached to one of the remaining sides of the central panel 62 along a fold line 77. It may be seen that a hand hole aperture 78 is formed in the handle flap 76.
- the hand hole 78 is generally identical in shape to the previously described hand hole 28 inthe sidewall panel 12. The position of the hand hole 78 in the handle flap 76 should be such that when the bottle retaining insert formed from the blank 60 is placed over a bottle in the carton formed from the blank 10, the hand holes 28 and 78 will be in registry. It will also be noted that the handle flap 76 has a notched portion 79 adjacent to the notch portion 74 of the positioning flap 68.
- the fourth flap is, in effect, divided into two flap portions 82 and 83 by the interposition of a pouring slot 81.
- the two flap portions 82 and 83 are hinged at 84 and 85 to the side of the panel 62 which is opposite the handle flap 76.
- the pouring slot 81 corresponds generally in width and height to the notch 29 formed in the sidewall panel 14. It will also be seen that the pouring flap 83 has a notched portion 86 which is adjacent to the notched portion of the positioning flap 69.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a blank 88 for a cap protector to be used during the shipment of a bottle contained in the carton erected from the blank 10.
- the blank 88 is made up of a substantially linear array of panels 90A through 90G connected to one another along fold lines 92.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a carton 94 erected from the blank 10.
- a bottle 96 may be seen in position in the carton 94.
- the explosion view of FIG. 4 shows the configuration of the components of the present invention in the form they assume for shipping the bottle 96.
- the blank 88 is folded into substantially a W-shaped cap protector 98.
- the cap protector 98 is first placed in the carton 94 such that it fits over a cap 99 on the bottle 96. This prevents any damage to the cap 99 or loosening of the cap 99 during shipment of the bottle.
- the contents of the bottle 96 are usually of such a nature that precautions must be taken during shipment of the bottle 96 to avoid breakage of the bottle or spillage due to loosening of the cap 99, as well as precautions during transfer of or pouring out” the contents of the bottle 96, toward which the present invention is primarily directed.
- the blank 60 may be seen to have been formed into a bottle retaining insert 100. This is accomplished by folding the positioning flaps 68 and 69 at substantially right angles to the square panel 62 and folding the handle flap 76 similarly, as well as folding the pouring flaps 82 and 83 into the same position.
- the shipping position of the bottle retaining insert 100 is essentially reversed from the operational or pouring position that it later assumes.
- the position of the bottle retaining insert 100 shown in FIG. 4 is not the position which it will later be seen to assume when the contents of the bottle 96 are to be transferred.
- the shipping configuration is completed by a tubular overcarton 102.
- the tubular overcarton 102 is telescopingly engaged over the carton 94.
- the configuration of the tubular overcarton 102 may be substantially identical to that of the carton 94 with the exception that the notch portion 29 is not required, and the circumference of the tubular overcarton 102 should be slightly larger than that of the carton 94 to allow the telescoping engagement.
- FIG. 5 illustrates the completed shipping configuration with the sidewall panel 15 and the overcarton 102 removed. This view is taken to show the interior arrangement of the shipping configuration. It may be seen that the bottle 96 has a shoulder portion 104 on which the cap protector 98 rests. In addition, bottle 96 used to contain materials of the character herein described normally have a pouring finger grip such as that designated as 105. Additionally, FIG. 5 illustrates that extra packing material may be placed within the carton 94 to prevent any shifting of the bottle 96 within the carton 94 during the shipping or storing process. This extra material, which may be corrugated paperboard, is designated as 106. The material 106 contacts not only the sidewalls of the bottle 96, but is also placed in the bottom of the carton 94 to cushion the bottom of the bottle 96 against shock.
- FIGS. 6 and 7 show the carton 94 with the bottle 96 therein and with the bottle retaining insert 100 in position to dispense the contents of the bottle 96; that is, turned from the position shown in FIG. 4.
- FIG. 6 clearly shows that the insert retaining panels 34, 40, 46
- the bottle 96 may be seen in FIG. 7 to have a threaded finish portion 108 which can be threadably engaged with the bottle cap 99, which has been removed in FIGS. 6 and 7.
- the retaining panels 40 and 34 in their operational position shown in FIG. 6 extend from the sidewall panels 14 and 15 at substantially right angles and are at a substantially right angle to one another. The retaining panels 40 and 34 pivot about their respective fold lines 35 and 41 for entry into the carton 94 in contact with the bottle retaining insert 100.
- the insert panels 46 and 52 similarly extend from their respective sidewall panels 13 and 12 at substantially a right angle and overlie the bottle retaining insert 100 to further hold the bottle retaining insert 100 in position.
- the actual positions of the fold lines 35, 41, 47 and 53 are determined by the configuration of the bottle 96. That is, it may be seen in FIG. 7 that the bottle retaining insert I00 slips into the carton 94 until it is stopped by the shoulder portion 104 of the container 96. This then dictates the elevation of the fold lines, so that when the insert retaining panels 34, 40, 46 and 52 are pressed inward, they will overlie the bottle retaining insert 100 and hold it in place.
- FIG. 6 shows that there is a complete opening from the exterior of the carton 94 into the interior of the carton 94 through which the contents of the bottle 96 may be poured.
- the hand hole aperture 78 in the handle flap 76 is in alignment with the hand hole aperture 28 in the sidewall panel 12. Again, it may be necessary to adjust the relative positions of the hand hole aperture 78 and the hand hole aperture 28, depending upon exactly what level within the carton 94 the bottle retaining insert 100 assumes with respect to any particular bottle 96. However, in all situations, it is necessary that the hand hole aperture 78 be in alignment with the hand hole aperture 28.
- FIG. 8 further illustrates the function served by the notched portions 74 and 79 of the positioning flap 68 and the handle flap 76.
- the retaining panels 46 and 52 must enter into the interior of the carton 94 to hold the bottle retaining insert 100 in place.
- the notched portions 74 and 79 allow access by the insert retaining panels 46 and 52.
- the notched portions 86 and 75 will allow entry of the insert retaining panels 40 and 34.
- FIG. 8 clearly illustrates the registry of the hand hole apertures 78 and 28 with one another.
- FIG. 9 illustrates the pouring of the contents of the bottle 96 using the registered hand hole apertures 78 and 28. It should be carefully noted at this point that the hand of a person who is pouring the contents of the bottle 96 need never touch the bottle 96. Thus, there is very little danger of the person splashing any dangerous chemicals on his hand or perhaps having such chemicals drop back on his hand after the pouring is completed.
- the contents of the bottle 96 are shown as being poured into a suitable transfer container C.
- the bottle retaining insert is preferably completely impregnated with a material which is resistant to the chemical contained in the bottle 96.
- a material which is resistant to the chemical contained in the bottle 96 examples of such materials are wax and polyethylene.
- the contents of the bottle 96 dictate what material should be used and these two materials should not be taken by way of limitation, but only by way of example of suitable materials for some acids.
- the reason for impregnating the entire'bottle retaining insert 100 is twofold. First, the materials which impregnate the bottle retaining insert 100 generally have a relatively high friction factor with respect to the walls of the container 94.
- the walls of the container 94 are generally of a corrugated paperboard material.
- the container retaining insert 100 likewise is made of a corrugated paperboard material.
- the relative friction of the impregnated bottle retaining insert 100 with the walls of the container 94 is quite high, thus making it unlikely that the bottle retaining insert 100 would slip out of the carton 94 once it was inserted. Thus, in case one would forget to press in the insert retaining panels 34, 40, 46 and 52, the frictional engagement would tend to prevent the bottle retaining insert 100 from slipping out of the carton 94.
- the second purpose for impregnating the bottle retaining insert 100 is to provide a reservoir for any liquid which might be splashed out of the bottle 96 during the pouring process. Many of the chemicals designed to be poured using this container will attack the corrugated paperboard material from which the carton 94 is preferably made.
- the impregnated bottle retaining insert 100 functions as a reservoir to prevent the escape of any such chemical which may be splashed during the pouring process or which may drip back after the pouring process has been completed.
- This allows the carton 94 to be made from standard corrugated paperboard material rather than an impregnated material, thereby keeping the cost to a minimum.
- a safety pour-out package comprising, in combination: a bottle having a shoulder portion and a finish portion; a tubular carton having a plurality of sidewall panels foldably connected together in a closed configuration, bottom closure flaps foldably connected to the lower ends of said sidewall panels to provide a closed bottom for said carton, the height of said carton being such that the finish portion of said bottle is entirely contained within said carton, one of said sidewall panels having a pouring notch formed therein extending from that edge of said panel that is remote from said bottom closure flaps to a point intermediate the height of said sidewall panel, one of said sidewall panels located opposite said sidewall panel having said pouring notch therein having a hand hole aperture formed therein; at least two insert retaining panels hingedly connected to adjacent sidewall panels and joined at the foldable connection between said sidewall panels; and a bottle retaining insert, formed with a central panel portion having an aperture formed therein through which said finish portion of said bottle extends, positioned in said carton for holding said bottle in said carton, the position of said bottle
- said bottle retain ing insert further includes at least two opposed positioning flaps hingedly connected to said central panel and extending upwardly away from said shoulder portion of said bottle, at least one of said positioning flaps having a notched portion adjacent one of said insert retaining panels to allow entry of said retaining panel into the interior of said tubular carton.
- said bottle retaining insert further includes two spaced-apart pouring flaps hingedly connected to said central panel and extending upwardly away from said shoulder portion of said bottle, said pouring flaps being located in alignment with said pouring notch and spaced on either side of said pouring notch to define an opening into the interior of said tubular carton; and a handle flap hingedly connected to said central panel and extending up- 8 wardly away from said shoulder portion of said bottle, said handle flap being located in alignment with the sidewall panel containing said hand hole aperture and having formed therein a hand hole aperture aligning with the hand hole aperture in said sidewall panel.
- said bottle retaining insert further includes a plurality of flaps hingedly connected to said central panel and extending upwardly away from said shoulder portion of said bottle, the number of flaps being equal to the number of said carton sidewall panels, said flaps being respectively in facing alignment with individual ones of said carton sidewall panels, one of said flaps having formed therein a hand hole aperture located in alignment with the hand hole aperture in said sidewall panel to thereby define a handle flap, and one of said flaps having a pouring slot formed therein, said pouring slot being positioned in alignment with said pouring notch in said sidewall panel, whereby an enclosed reservoir position is formed to collect any of the contents of said bottle spilled during the pouring of said contents from said bottle, said bottle retaining insert further having at least two adjacent flaps with notched portions formed therein to allow entry of said retaining panels into the interior of said tubular carton.

Holler 1 June 25, R974 [5 7] ABSTRACT A safety pouring package for dangerous chemicals wherein the chemical is contained in a bottle. A bottle containing a dangerous chemical, such as a concentrated acid, is completely enclosed in a tubular carton. The carton is tall enough to ensure that the finish portion of the bottle does not project beyond the open end of the carton. A pouring notch is cut in one sidewall panel of the carton. A hand hole aperture is cut in a sidewall panel of the carton opposed the pouring notch. A bottle retaining insert is pressed into the carton and located in position by the shoulder of the bottle below the finish of the bottle. The insert may be held in place by retaining panels, which overlie the insert, formed in the carton sidewall. The insert may have a plurality of upwardly extending flaps which serve to form a reservoir for any of the bottle contents which may be spilled. In this case, one of the flaps would be slotted in alignment with the pouring notch, and another flap would have a hand hole aperture in registry with the hand hole aperture in the carton. In operation, a person may transfer the contents of the bottle by lifting the carton at the hand hole aperture and pouring through the notch. Thus, the hand of the person need never touch the bottle.

SAFETY POURING PACKAGE FOR DANGEROUS CHEMICALS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention generally relates to a package for a fragile article. More particularly, this invention relates to a package for a bottle filled with a dangerous chemical. Most specifically, this invention relates to a package of the type described which allows the contents of the bottle to be transferred without the necessity of a person touching the bottle.
Many acids and corrosive or otherwise dangerous liquid chemicals are commonly sold in glass bottles. The glass bottle is an ideal receptacle, since it resists attack by most chemicals of this nature. However, the glass bottle is relatively easily broken. U.S. Pat. No. 3,000,492 shows one type of package designed to minimize breakage. However, this package still left the neck portion exposed. Other, somewhat similar, packages are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 1,647,581 and 2,349,020. An additional problem arises in transferring the contents of a relatively large bottle into small containers for use. The liquid'm'ay splash during the pouring or may run back on the bottle. Since the person doing the pouring is holding'the bottle at this time, an obvious hazard exists to such a person. I have overcome these problems by devising a safety pouring package for dangerous chemicals which allows the person to pour the contents of the bottle without touching the bottle and which completely encloses the bottle as a protection against breakage.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION My invention is a safety pour-out package for a bottle having a shoulder portion and a finish portion. The bottie is placed in a tubular carton having a plurality of sidewalls foldably connected together in a closed configuration and bottom closure flaps foldably connected to the lower ends of the sidewall panels to provide a closed bottom. The height of the carton is such that the finish portion of the bottle is completely contained within the carton. One of the sidewall panels has formed therein a pouring notch extending from the edge of the panel away from the bottom closure flaps to a point intermediate the height of the sidewall panel. One of the sidewall panels located opposite the pouring notch has formed therein a hand hole aperture. A bottle retaining means is positioned in the carton for holding the bottle in the carton. The bottle retaining means has an aperture formed therein for passing it over the bottle finish to allow positioning of the bottle retaining means by the bottle shoulder portion. The combined package allows the contents of the bottle to be poured through the pouring notch, thereby avoiding contact of the hand of a person with the bottle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 illustrates .a blank 10 from which the tubular carton member of the present invention is formed. A linear series of sidewall panels l2, 13, 14 and 15 are hingedly connected together by fold lines 16. End closure flaps l8, 19, and 21 are hingedly connected to the sidewall panels 12, 13, 14 and 15 by respective fold lines 22, 23, 24 and 25. It should be realized that a manufacturers joint tab could be attached to the sidewall panel 12 or 15 for construction purposes. However, this particular blank 10 is erected and formed into a tubular carton with a taped joint, therefore eliminating the need for a manufacturers joint tab. A hand hole aperture 28 is cut into the sidewall panel 12. A pouring notch 29 is cut from the sidewall panel 14, the pouring notch 29 being defined by two substantially parallel cut lines 30 and 31 which extend from the free edge of the sidewall panel 14 toward the fold line 24. The cut lines 30 and 31 are coextensive, and are connected at their lower terminal points by a connecting cut line 32 to thus form the pouring notch 29 in the sidewall panel 14. A first insert retaining panel 34 is located on the sidewall panel 15. The insert retaining panel 34 has a fold line 35 which is positioned intermediate the length of the fold line 16 connecting the sidewall panel 15 to the sidewall panel 14 and intermediate the width of the sidewall panel 15. The actual position of the fold line 35 is dictated, as will be seen later, by the height of a bottle contained within the tubular carton erected from the blank 10. A cut line 36 extends from the terminal point of the fold line 35 closer to the fold line 25 to and through the fold line 16 connecting the sidewall panel 15 to the sidewall panel 14. A cut line 37 extends from the opposite terminal point-of the fold line 35 to and through the fold line 16 connecting the sidewall panel 15 to the sidewall panel 14. A second insert retaining panel 40 is formed on the sidewall panel 14. A fold line 41 is located on the sidewall panel 14 to partially define the second insert retaining panel 40. The fold line 41 is located approximately the same distance from the fold line 16 connecting the sidewall panels 14 and 15, as is the fold line 35. In addition, the fold line 41 is substantially parallel to, and coextensive with, the fold line 35. A out line 42 extends from the terminal point of the fold line 41, which is nearer the fold line 24, to, and connects with, the out line 36. A cut line 43 extends from the opposite terminus of the fold line 41 to, and connects with, the cut line 37. A third insert retaining panel 46 is located on the sidewall panel 13. The third insert retaining panel has a fold line 47, which is positioned intermediate the length of the fold line 16 connecting the sidewall panel 13 to the sidewall panel 12 and intermediate the width of the sidewall panel 13. Preferably, the fold line 47 will be parallel to and substantially coextensive with the fold lines 41 and 35. Again, it will be noted that the actual position of the fold line 47 on the sidewall panel 13 will be dependent upon the height of the bottle held within the tubular carton erected from the blank 10. A cut line 48 extends from the terminal point of the fold line 47 nearest the fold line 23 toward and through the fold line 16 connecting the sidewall panel 13 to the sidewall panel 12. A out line 49 extends from the opposite terminal point of the fold line 47 toward and through the fold line 16 connecting the sidewall panel 13 to the sidewall panel 12. A fourth insert retaining panel 52 is located on the sidewall panel 12. The fourth insert retaining panel 52 has a fold line 53 located intermediate the length of the fold line 16 connecting the sidewall panel 12 to the sidewall panel 13 and intermediate the width of the sidewall panel 12. Again, the fold line 53 is preferably parallel to, and coextensive with, the fold line 47. The fourth insert retaining panel 52 is then further defined by a out line 54 which extends from the terminal point of the fold line 53 nearest the fold line 22 toward, and connecting with, the cut line 48. A cut line 55 extending from the opposite terminal point of the fold line toward, and connecting with, the cut line 49 completes the definition of the fourth insert retaining panel 52.
FIG. 2 illustrates a blank 60 for a bottle retaining insert. The blank 60 is composed of a generally square central panel 62 having an aperture 63 located generally centrally thereof. The aperture 63 may be seen to be of a generally keyhole shape having a circular portion 64 and a connected notch portion 65. It should be realized that the panel 62 need not necessarily be square, but may be generally rectangular in shape or of any shape required to fit a particular carton. However, in this specific example, the panel 62 is generally square. Four flaps are hingedly connected to the central panel 62 along score lines. Two positioning flaps 68 and 69 are attached to the central panel 62 at opposed sides of the central panel 62 along respective score lines 70 and 71. It may be seen that the diagonally opposed comers of the positioning flaps 68 and 69 have notched portions 74 and 75. A handle flap 76 is attached to one of the remaining sides of the central panel 62 along a fold line 77. It may be seen that a hand hole aperture 78 is formed in the handle flap 76. The hand hole 78 is generally identical in shape to the previously described hand hole 28 inthe sidewall panel 12. The position of the hand hole 78 in the handle flap 76 should be such that when the bottle retaining insert formed from the blank 60 is placed over a bottle in the carton formed from the blank 10, the hand holes 28 and 78 will be in registry. It will also be noted that the handle flap 76 has a notched portion 79 adjacent to the notch portion 74 of the positioning flap 68. The fourth flap is, in effect, divided into two flap portions 82 and 83 by the interposition of a pouring slot 81. The two flap portions 82 and 83 are hinged at 84 and 85 to the side of the panel 62 which is opposite the handle flap 76. The pouring slot 81 corresponds generally in width and height to the notch 29 formed in the sidewall panel 14. It will also be seen that the pouring flap 83 has a notched portion 86 which is adjacent to the notched portion of the positioning flap 69.
FIG. 3 illustrates a blank 88 for a cap protector to be used during the shipment of a bottle contained in the carton erected from the blank 10. The blank 88 is made up of a substantially linear array of panels 90A through 90G connected to one another along fold lines 92.
FIG. 4 illustrates a carton 94 erected from the blank 10. A bottle 96 may be seen in position in the carton 94. The explosion view of FIG. 4 shows the configuration of the components of the present invention in the form they assume for shipping the bottle 96. The blank 88 is folded into substantially a W-shaped cap protector 98. The cap protector 98 is first placed in the carton 94 such that it fits over a cap 99 on the bottle 96. This prevents any damage to the cap 99 or loosening of the cap 99 during shipment of the bottle. The contents of the bottle 96, as previously pointed out, are usually of such a nature that precautions must be taken during shipment of the bottle 96 to avoid breakage of the bottle or spillage due to loosening of the cap 99, as well as precautions during transfer of or pouring out" the contents of the bottle 96, toward which the present invention is primarily directed. The blank 60 may be seen to have been formed into a bottle retaining insert 100. This is accomplished by folding the positioning flaps 68 and 69 at substantially right angles to the square panel 62 and folding the handle flap 76 similarly, as well as folding the pouring flaps 82 and 83 into the same position. The shipping position of the bottle retaining insert 100 is essentially reversed from the operational or pouring position that it later assumes. Thus the position of the bottle retaining insert 100 shown in FIG. 4 is not the position which it will later be seen to assume when the contents of the bottle 96 are to be transferred. The shipping configuration is completed by a tubular overcarton 102. Once the cap protector 98 and the bottle retaining insert 100 have been slipped into position within the carbon 94, the tubular overcarton 102 is telescopingly engaged over the carton 94. The configuration of the tubular overcarton 102 may be substantially identical to that of the carton 94 with the exception that the notch portion 29 is not required, and the circumference of the tubular overcarton 102 should be slightly larger than that of the carton 94 to allow the telescoping engagement. FIG. 5 illustrates the completed shipping configuration with the sidewall panel 15 and the overcarton 102 removed. This view is taken to show the interior arrangement of the shipping configuration. It may be seen that the bottle 96 has a shoulder portion 104 on which the cap protector 98 rests. In addition, bottle 96 used to contain materials of the character herein described normally have a pouring finger grip such as that designated as 105. Additionally, FIG. 5 illustrates that extra packing material may be placed within the carton 94 to prevent any shifting of the bottle 96 within the carton 94 during the shipping or storing process. This extra material, which may be corrugated paperboard, is designated as 106. The material 106 contacts not only the sidewalls of the bottle 96, but is also placed in the bottom of the carton 94 to cushion the bottom of the bottle 96 against shock.
FIGS. 6 and 7 show the carton 94 with the bottle 96 therein and with the bottle retaining insert 100 in position to dispense the contents of the bottle 96; that is, turned from the position shown in FIG. 4. FIG. 6 clearly shows that the insert retaining panels 34, 40, 46
and 52 are pushed inward at this time to hold the bottle retaining insert 100 in place. In addition, when the bottle retaining insert 100 is pressed into the carton 94, the bottle finger grip 105 extends through the notch portion 65 of the aperture 63. The bottle 96 may be seen in FIG. 7 to have a threaded finish portion 108 which can be threadably engaged with the bottle cap 99, which has been removed in FIGS. 6 and 7. The retaining panels 40 and 34 in their operational position shown in FIG. 6 extend from the sidewall panels 14 and 15 at substantially right angles and are at a substantially right angle to one another. The retaining panels 40 and 34 pivot about their respective fold lines 35 and 41 for entry into the carton 94 in contact with the bottle retaining insert 100. The insert panels 46 and 52 similarly extend from their respective sidewall panels 13 and 12 at substantially a right angle and overlie the bottle retaining insert 100 to further hold the bottle retaining insert 100 in position. As was pointed out earlier, the actual positions of the fold lines 35, 41, 47 and 53 are determined by the configuration of the bottle 96. That is, it may be seen in FIG. 7 that the bottle retaining insert I00 slips into the carton 94 until it is stopped by the shoulder portion 104 of the container 96. This then dictates the elevation of the fold lines, so that when the insert retaining panels 34, 40, 46 and 52 are pressed inward, they will overlie the bottle retaining insert 100 and hold it in place. It should be apparent that this position may vary with different sizes of bottles, since the precise location at which the bottle retaining insert 100 will lock in position in the carton 94 depends upon where the shoulder portion 104 of the bottle 96 holds the bottle retaining insert 100. Generally, once the bottle retaining insert 100 has pressed over the neck of the bottle 96, the bottle 96 is free to rotate with respect to the aperture 63. This is of little consequence, since the actual pouring of the contents of the bottle 96 is through the notch 29 in the sidewall 14 and through the pouring slot 81 between the pouring flaps 82 and 83. FIG. 6 shows that there is a complete opening from the exterior of the carton 94 into the interior of the carton 94 through which the contents of the bottle 96 may be poured. FIG. 7 further shows that the hand hole aperture 78 in the handle flap 76 is in alignment with the hand hole aperture 28 in the sidewall panel 12. Again, it may be necessary to adjust the relative positions of the hand hole aperture 78 and the hand hole aperture 28, depending upon exactly what level within the carton 94 the bottle retaining insert 100 assumes with respect to any particular bottle 96. However, in all situations, it is necessary that the hand hole aperture 78 be in alignment with the hand hole aperture 28.
FIG. 8 further illustrates the function served by the notched portions 74 and 79 of the positioning flap 68 and the handle flap 76. The retaining panels 46 and 52 must enter into the interior of the carton 94 to hold the bottle retaining insert 100 in place. Thus, the notched portions 74 and 79 allow access by the insert retaining panels 46 and 52. In a similar manner, it may be appreciated that the notched portions 86 and 75 will allow entry of the insert retaining panels 40 and 34. Additionally, FIG. 8 clearly illustrates the registry of the hand hole apertures 78 and 28 with one another.
FIG. 9 illustrates the pouring of the contents of the bottle 96 using the registered hand hole apertures 78 and 28. It should be carefully noted at this point that the hand of a person who is pouring the contents of the bottle 96 need never touch the bottle 96. Thus, there is very little danger of the person splashing any dangerous chemicals on his hand or perhaps having such chemicals drop back on his hand after the pouring is completed. The contents of the bottle 96 are shown as being poured into a suitable transfer container C.
The bottle retaining insert is preferably completely impregnated with a material which is resistant to the chemical contained in the bottle 96. Examples of such materials are wax and polyethylene. However, the contents of the bottle 96 dictate what material should be used and these two materials should not be taken by way of limitation, but only by way of example of suitable materials for some acids. The reason for impregnating the entire'bottle retaining insert 100 is twofold. First, the materials which impregnate the bottle retaining insert 100 generally have a relatively high friction factor with respect to the walls of the container 94. The walls of the container 94 are generally of a corrugated paperboard material. The container retaining insert 100 likewise is made of a corrugated paperboard material. The relative friction of the impregnated bottle retaining insert 100 with the walls of the container 94 is quite high, thus making it unlikely that the bottle retaining insert 100 would slip out of the carton 94 once it was inserted. Thus, in case one would forget to press in the insert retaining panels 34, 40, 46 and 52, the frictional engagement would tend to prevent the bottle retaining insert 100 from slipping out of the carton 94. The second purpose for impregnating the bottle retaining insert 100 is to provide a reservoir for any liquid which might be splashed out of the bottle 96 during the pouring process. Many of the chemicals designed to be poured using this container will attack the corrugated paperboard material from which the carton 94 is preferably made. Thus, the impregnated bottle retaining insert 100 functions as a reservoir to prevent the escape of any such chemical which may be splashed during the pouring process or which may drip back after the pouring process has been completed. This allows the carton 94 to be made from standard corrugated paperboard material rather than an impregnated material, thereby keeping the cost to a minimum.
