Definitions

  • This invention relates to containers of the so-called Bliss type, having inside and outside flanges at each corner and which are collapsible; and more particularly, to such type of container in which openings are provided in the hinge line of the inside securing flanges to relieve stress when the container is collapsed from set-up condition.
  • Containers formed of three units or blanks of flexible material which have at each corner an inside flange adhesively secured to the inside surface of an adjacent side wall, and an outside flange adhesively secured to the outside surface of an adjacent wall, are well-known. They provide stacking strength by virtue of the two flanges at each corner.
  • a problem has heretofore existed in rendering these containers collapsible to substantially flat condition from thier setup position without joint separation at the corners because of strain which weakens the adhesive bond and thereby causes separation at the corners when the container is collapsed.
  • the invention hereof overcomes this problem by the provision of weakened portions in the form of elongated spaced apart openings in the container blank containing the hinge connection line of each inside flange.
  • the openings in the hinge lines or connections of the inner flanges allow complete disconnection or separation ofthe inner flanges from the corner edges of the adjacent side walls to which they were hingedly connected.
  • the outside flange at each corner folds inwardly and thus overlies the inside flange creating a bulky four-ply corner.
  • the openings in the inner flange hinge connection provide increased flexibility to relieve tension or stress which could otherwise cause joint failure.
  • stacking strength still remains.
  • the hinge connection line for the outer flange is a multiple score line, desirably at least a double score line, to cooperate in providing increased flexibility and relieving tension at the stress points.
  • the container blanks are each made of paperboard, and desirably of so-called single-wall corrugated paperboard containing a single corrugating medium and a sheet of liner paper adhesively bonded to each side of the corrugating medium.
  • the invention has as its objects, among others, the provision of a collapsible Bliss" style container made of flexible sheet material and of three parts or blanks in which the corners have inside and outside securing flanges providing stacking strength, which is of an improved construction to relieve stress at the corners when the container is collapsed from set-up condition, and which is of simple and economical construction.
  • FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a preferred embodiment of the invention wherein the container is in fully set-up position;
  • FIG. IA is a similar view illustrating the container in partially collapsed position
  • FIG. 1B is a similar view illustrating the container in completely collapsed condition
  • FIG. 2 is a horizontal section of the container
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view of a first blank or unit of material from which the container is made;
  • FIG. 3A is a plan view of a second blank of such material
  • FIG. 3B is likewise a plan view of the third blank
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the corner construction with the closures omitted, looking in the direction of arrow 4 in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4 illustrating the arrangement of the corner of FIG. 4 when the container is in collapsed position;
  • FIG. 6 is an isometric view similar to FIG. 1 of another embodiment of the invention; parts being shown broken away to illustrate the construction more clearly;
  • FIG. 6A is an isometric view of the container of FIG. 6 in partially collapsed condition; parts being broken away for purposes of illustration;
  • FIG. 7 is a plan view of the central blank in the embodiment of FIG. 6.
  • FIG. 7A is a plan view of a second blank; a third blank being of the same construction as that of FIG. 7A.
  • a first of such blanks illustrated in FIG. 3, comprises a substantially center rectangular bottom wall panel 2, side wall forming panels 3 hingedly connected along score lines 4 at each of opposite edges of the bottom wall panel.
  • Closure flaps 6 are hingedly connected to side wall forming panels 3.
  • Hingedly connected to bottom wall panel 2 along score lines 7 at opposite edges of bottom wall panel 2 are bottom securing flanges 8.
  • a securing flange 9 is hingedly connected by a score line 11 to each of the opposite edges of side wall panels 3. In the set-up container, these flanges 9 are upright outside securing flanges. V-shaped notches 10 are formed between the ends of adjacent flanges 8 and 9 which provide bottom abutment joints in the set-up carton.
  • a second blank (FIG. 3A) comprises substantially rectangular side wall panel 12, a corner securing flange 13 hingedly connected to each edge of side wall panel I2, and a closure flap l4 hingedly connected thereto.
  • the hinge connection line for each of corner flanges 13 with side wall panel 12 includes spaced apart elongated openings in the form of complete slits or cuts 16, which may be slots if desired, formed by suitable cuts extending completely through the material, and short scores 17 which form breakable connecting bridges, the purpose of which will be described in greater detail hereinafter.
  • wall panel 12 is provided with a pair of triangularly arranged score lines 18, each leading from a lower corner of panel 12 with the apex of the triangle on a central score line 19.
  • a central score line 21 in line with score line 19 extends across closure flap 14 to the apex of the triangle formed by diagonal score lines 18.
  • the third blank, shown in FIG. 3B, is of the same construction as the blank of FIG. 3A, and, conse quently, the same reference numerals are applied.
  • FIGS. 1, 1A and 1B which illustrate the set-up container
  • the blanks are secured together with flanges 8 on bottom wall panel 2 upright and adhesively bonded to side walls 12; and the corner securing flanges 9 of side walls 3 are secured upright by adhesive bonding to the outside surfaces of side walls 12 at the corners, while flanges 13 on side walls 12 are adhesively bonded to the inside surfaces at the corners of the container side walls 3.
  • each corner there are two upright or upstanding securing flanges which not only act to secure the container parts or units together, but provide stacking strength when containers containing product are stacked one on top of the other.
  • the elongated openings 16 are relatively narrow, and are coincident with the hinge connection line along which they are formed so that the width of the flanges at the corners is substantially unaffected, and stacking strength provided by the pair of securing flanges at each corner is not impaired.
  • the aforementioned bridge connections are substantially the same width as the openings.
  • One of these securing flanges at each corner is an inside flange and the other an outside flange. In collapsing the containers, opposite side walls 12 collapse outwardly, as is shown in FIG. 1A, and the container can be completely collapsed to substantially flat condition, as is shown in FIG. 18.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 wherein FIG. 4 illustrates a corner construction of the set-up container, and FIG. 5 illustrates the position that adjacent walls assume in the collapsed condition
  • wall 12 is collapsed outwardly, it assumes a position substantially in line with wall 3 of the first blank with the corner flanges 9 and 13 extending in opposite directions.
  • an outward pull is extended on the inside flange 13 at each corner by wall 12; and if the flange remained connected at its hinge line, the adhesive bond between it and wall 3 would break with consequent joint failure.
  • the container is initially manufactured in set-up condition, and then collapsed for shipment.
  • the disconnection occurs the first time the container is collapsed.
  • two cuts each of about 5% inches long with three breakable bridges 17 of about one-fourth inch in length are suitable, but these dimensions may vary.
  • the collapsible type container hereof is specially adapted for the packaging of solid products, such as commodities, including lettuce, and because of its collapsible character, it is a reusable container. It may be of any suitable size, and it is desirably made of so-called single-wall, corrugated paperboard comprising corrugating medium and two plain liner sheets adhesively bonded thereto.
  • the stock material is heavy, B-flute, single-wall, corrugated paperboard about three-sixteenths inch in overall thickness and 275 lb. test.
  • the container has an overall length of about 22 inches, an overall width of about 16 inches, and an overall height of about l 1 inches, with cuts and bridges of the dimensions indicated previously. Instead of cuts, the openings 16 may be slots.
  • closure flaps are preferably employed, they may be omitted as the container can be closed with a conventional telescoping cover.
  • FIGS. 6 through 7A The embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIGS. 6 through 7A is of the same three piece Bliss" style described with reference to the first embodiment, except that the bottom wall panel, the securing flanges hinged thereto, and the pair of opposite side wall panels secured to such flanges are provided with a score line arrangement enabling the container to be collapsed inwardly with the bottom wall panel and the pair of side wall panels secured thereto between the other pair of side wall panels.
  • the first blank for this construction, illustrated in FIG. 7, comprises bottom wall panel 31 hingedly connected along score lines 32 to a pair of opposite side wall panels 33 to which closure flaps 34 are hingedly connected.
  • a bottom securing flange 36 is hingedly connected along score line 37 to each of 0pposite ends of bottom panel 31 transverse to score lines 32, and outside corner securing flanges 38 are hingedly connected along at least a double score line 39 to the respective edges of side wall panels 33.
  • a second blank is illustrated in FIG. 7A, and comprises side wall panel 41 having hingedly connected thereto along each of opposite edges an inside corner securing flange 42.
  • Each hinge connection for a securing flange 42 includes spaced slots 43 formed by removal of material to enhance flexibility, and bridging scores 44, which do not break because of the manner in which the container collapses.
  • the third blank (not shown) is of the same construction as the blank of FIG. 7A, and the same reference numerals are applied thereto in the drawings of the setup container.
  • the bottom wall panel 31 is formed with a central score line 44 and triangularly arranged pairs of score lines 46 having their apices substantially on score line 44 but spaced apart; a ventilation slot 45 being between the apices of score lines 46.
  • Central score line 44 extends across bottom securing flanges 36, which are notched at their ends at 47 to accommodate the lower ends of outside securing flanges 38; and side panel 41 and its connected cover have a central score line 47 in line with score line 44 in the set-up container.
  • the securing flanges 28 on one pair of opposite side walls 33 are outside flanges and the securing flanges 42 on the other pair of side walls 41 are inside flanges.
  • the securing flanges 42 on the other pair of side walls 41 are inside flanges.
  • at each corner there is an upright outside flange and an upright inside flange providing the aforementioned stacking strength.
  • each outside flange 38 folds inwardly along its hinge connection line creating a bulky corner of four ply thickness (the two securing flanges and the two walls attached thereto).
  • the openings 43 should be relatively wide slots to eliminate bulk.
  • the multiple score line 39 facilitates bending of securing flange 38 inwardly around the corner by providing increased flexibility at the hinge connection line. Although a double score line is suitable, more scores may be provided.
  • the dimensions, including the length of elongated openings 43, can be the same as described for the first embodiment although they are not critical. Usually about one-fourth inch of material removal in formation of the slots is suitable. It is only necessary to remove enough material to decrease the aforedescribed bulk sufficiently to relieve stress when the container is collapsed.
  • a blank construction for a collapsible container of flexible sheet material having score lines arranged for folding of the container to collapsed condition when empty comprising three blanks securable together; a first of said blanks comprising a central substantially rectangular bottom wall panel, a substantially rectangular side wall panel hingedly connected to each of a pair of opposite edges of the bottom wall panel, a securing flange hingedly connected to each of the remaining edges of said bottom wall panel, and a securing flange hingedly connected to each edge of each side wall panel; a second and third of said blanks, each comprising a substantially rectangular side wall panel and a securing flange hingedly connected to each of opposite edges of each of the latter side wall panels; the securing flanges on said bottom wall panel being securable to the side wall panels of said second and third blanks and the remaining securing flanges of said blanks being at the upright corners of the container when set up with a pair of flanges at each corner, one
  • each of the hinge connections of said inside securing flanges including spaced apart openings coincident with the hinge connection to relieve stress at the corner when stress is placed on the corner as the container is collapsed from set-up condition.
  • each of a pair of opposite side wall panels includes a central score line and triangularly arranged score lines for collapsing of said side wall panels outwardly from the bottom wall panel in the setup container, and the hinge connection of each inside securing flange includes connecting bridges which can break under said stress when the side wall panels are collapsed outwardly.
  • a collapsible container of paperboard comprising a bottom wall and pairs of opposite side walls having score lines arranged for folding of the container to collapsed condition when empty with the bottom wall of the container and a pair of opposite walls positioned inwardly between another pair of opposite side walls, and comprising three units having upright corner flanges adhesively bonded to the pairs of opposite walls of the container with a pair of flanges at each corner extending substantially the height of the container to provide stacking strength, one of said flanges at each corner being an outside flange overlying and adhesively bonded to the outside surface of the adjacent side wall, and the other of said flanges being an inside flange underlying and adhesively bonded to the inside surface of the adjacent side wall; each inside flange being connected at each corner to a side wall by a hinge connection, which includes at least two spaced apart slots coincident with the hinge connection, a bridge connection at the top and at the bottom of said hinge connection and each outside flange at each corner being hingedly connected to a side wall
