Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to improvements in manually transportable carriers for accommodating a plurality of containers, as for example bottles and the like, and more particularly to container carriers of the reusable type comprised of a single foldable sheet.
  • An embodiment of the invention disclosed herein comprises a novel foldable sheet including adjacently positioned, substantially parallel bottom sections for supporting the bottom surfaces of a plurality of containers, and a vertically disposed central wall section the upper portion of which provides a handle. Sidewalls extend upwardly from the outer margins of the bottom sections, the upper portions of which telescopically accommodate the handle.
  • the sidewall sections are provided with vertically elongate container-receiving openings defined by edges of predetermined shape positioned to engage the peripheries of supported containers for securing said containers against lateral displacement.
  • the present invention is concerned primarily with improvements in container carriers of the manually transportable type adapted to support a plurality of rows of containers such as bottles and the like.
  • the term six pack has been in common use to identify a manually transportable carrier for containers, such as bottles, cans, and the like. Some of the six pack type carriers heretofore available are not reusable, because of the mutilation of the carrier which occurs as the containers are removed. It is also important that in order to render a carrier reusable it must be so designed as to enable the removal of the normal accumulation of soil, stain, etc. Another significant factor to be considered in the production of multi-pack containers of the type contemplated by the present invention is to assure compactness when in folded condition to facilitate storage and shipment thereof.
  • suitable sheet plastic material may be employed requiring a minimum quantity of sheet stock without sacrificing carrier strength and without impairing efficiency in the retention of containers supported thereby.
  • the present invention contemplates a container carrier formed from a single sheet of stock in which a unique arrangement of apertured sidewalls of the container function to permit convenient insertion and withdrawal of containers and protect the containers against lateral displacement.
  • the present invention also contemplates a carrier device of improved practical construction wherein a novel arrangement ofa readily foldable plastic sheet of relatively light weight conveniently washable material may be employed in the fabrication thereof.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of one form of carrier contemplated by the present invention having a plurality of containers in the form of bottles associated therewith;
  • FIG. 2 is an end elevational view of the arrangement disclosed in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view of the carrier device and associated bottles illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a plan view of a sheet plastic blank which may be folded so as to assume the container carrying relation illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, inclusive;
  • FIG. 5 is a side elevational view after the plastic sheet blank of FIG. 4 has been folded into flat relation in readiness to be expanded for accommodating a plurality of bottles;
  • FIG. 6 is an end elevational view of the completely collapsed carrier device shown in FIG. 5, illustrating the compactness of the carrier when in collapsed position;
  • FIG. 7 is an end elevational view similar to FIG. 6 illustrating the relative position of the multi-ply parts during the initial. partial expansion of the container accommodating sidewalls of the carrier;
  • FIG. 8 is an enlarged, fragmentary perspective view of the upper portion of the carrier device illustrated in FIG. 7 more clearly to illustrate the manner in which the upper margins of the sidewall sections are joined by heat seals and provide an opening therebetween for telescopically accommodating the handle of the carrier;
  • FIG. 9 is a side elevational view similar to FIG. 1 of a modified form of carrier contemplated by the present invention, an upper portion of one of the sidewall sections and handle thereof being broken away for clarity of disclosure;
  • FIG. 10 is a plan view of a sheet plastic blank which may be folded to produce the container carrier device illustrated in FIG. 9;
  • FIG. I1 is an enlarged, perspective view of the upper portion of the carrier illustrated in FIG. 9, with the handle thereof disclosed in partial telescopic association with the opening or slit provided along the upper juncture of the sidewall sections;
  • FIG. 12 is a fragmentary, perspective view of the bottom portion of the carrier illustrated in FIG. 9 before it has been expanded to accommodate a plurality of bottles, said view illustrating the heat sealed areas of the central wall sections.
  • FIGS. 1 to 8 inclusive A foldable blank of sheet material, preferably plastic sheet stock, is illustrated in FIG. 4.
  • FIG. 4 A foldable blank of sheet material, preferably plastic sheet stock
  • a central transverse fold line designated by the dot-and-dash line 16 divides the blank into two identical units, designated generally by the letters X and Y. Intermediate transverse bottom sections of the units X and Y are designated by the numerals 18 and 20, respectively.
  • the section 18 is provided with a row of apertures 22, and the section 20 is provided with a row of similar apertures 24.
  • the elongate transverse sections 18 and 20 form the support for the bottom of a plurality of containers or bottles 30.
  • Extending from the outer margin of the containersupporting section 18 is a sidewall. section 26, and extending from the outer margin of the elongate bottle supporting section 20 is a similar oppositely disposed sidewall section 28. Elongate vertically disposed apertures 32 in the sidewall section 28 are of predetermined shape to accommodate the above-mentioned bottles 30 after the plastic sheet blank has been folded and expanded to the position illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, inclusive. Likewise, the sidewall section 28 is provided with similar container accommodating recesses 34. Extending from the inner margin of the elongate bottom section 18 is a central section 36, and extending from the inner margin of the adjacent elongate bottom section 20 is a corresponding central section 38. These sections 36 and 38, when brought into contact with each other by folding along the dot-and-dash line 16, provide registering hand-accommodating handle apertures 40 and 42, respectively.
  • the central wall sections 36 and 38 are first folded along the line 16 so as to bring said sections into abutting relation, as illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7.
  • the elongate section 18 is now folded along a dot-and-dash line designated by the numeral 44, and the elongate section 20 is similarly folded along a dot-anddash line 46, so as to bring the bottom sections 18 and 20, together with their adjacent wall sections 26 and 28, respectively, into engagement with the outer surfaces of their respective central sections 36 and 38.
  • the sections will appear as illustrated in FIGS. and 6, namely as a compact four-ply sheet arrangement.
  • the upper abutting margins ofthe sidewall sections 26 and 28 may be joined by heat sealing in areas designated by numerals 48 and 50, FIG. 5.
  • the lower abutting margins of the central sections 36 and 38 may be joined as by heat sealing in the areas designated by the numerals 52 and 54.
  • the presence of the apertures 22 and 24 makes it possible to perform this heat sealing operation without affecting any other portion of the sheet stock.
  • a narrow strip 64 is sheared from the end margin of the sidewall section 26, and a similar narrow strip 66 is sheared from the opposite side of sidewall section 28 and heat sealed at the area designated by the numeral 68, FIG. 2.
  • Similar strips 70 and 72 are sheared from the opposite extremity of the sidewall sections 26 and 28 and are joined at 74, as by heat sealing. It will thus be apparent that the presence of the strips 64 and 66 at one extremity and the corresponding strips 70 and 72 at the opposite extremity will prevent dislodgment of the containers 30 in the vicinity thereof.
  • a modified form of plastic sheet type carrier contemplated by the present invention is designated generally by the numeral 14a.
  • the carrier 14 is produced from a strip in which the handle portions of the carrier are joined along a fold line 16, whereas the blank from which the carrier 14a is produced, as illustrated in FIG. 10, positions the handle portions at the opposite extremities and incorporates a fold line 16a at the juncture ofsidewall section 26a and 28a.
  • Doband-dash fold lines corresponding with the fold lines previously described in connection with the plastic sheet blank in FIG. 4 are given similar identifying numerals bearing the suffix a.
  • the container carriers 14 are readily collapsible to assume the compact flat relation illustrated in FIG. 6, thus rendering the carriers convenient for the purpose of storage or shipment.
  • the sidewall sections are conveniently and instantaneously expandable to condition the carrier for accommodating containers. Likewise, upon removal of the containers the carrier may be collapsed into flat compact form.
  • the design ofthe carrier contemplated hereby is such as to enable convenient heat sealing at readily available exposed areas. It will also be apparent that the present invention contemplates the provision of a very practical and inexpensive returnable bottle carrier.
  • the carrier described herein may be very expeditiously die cut from a strip of plastic sheet stock, folded and heat sealed. Plastic sheet material may also be cleaned or washed with convenience, thereby facilitating the reusability of the device.
  • each opening is defined by a pair of ledges of sheet stock which diverge upwardly.
  • a reusable and readily collapsible type carrier device comprised of a single foldable sheet of heat sealable plastic stock for accommodating a plurality of containers, said sheet including adjacently positioned, substantially parallel elongate bottom sections for supporting the bottom surfaces of a plurality of containers disposed in adjacent rows, a vertically disposed central wall section extending upwardly from the inner longitudinal margins of said bottom sections and terminating in an upper substantially central handle, said wall sections in the vicinity of said elongate bottom sections being joined by heat seals, and a sidewall section extending upwardly from the outer longitudinal margin of each bottom section.
  • said sidewall sections having a plurality of vertically elongate container receiving openings defined by edges of the sheet stock, said edges being contoured and positioned to engage the container peripheries for securing such containers against lateral displacement, said bottom, central and sidewall sections being collapsible into a folded flat structure when no containers are associated therewith, and wherein said sheet comprises heat sealable plastic stock and wherein the upper margins of the sidewall sections are heat sealed at spaced intervals providing an opening therebetween for telescopically accommodating the handle.
