Definitions

  • the invention pertains to packages of a plurality of containers held together by a carrier.
  • Such containers are commonly cylindrical cans and such carriers are commonly made from an unsupported sheet of a resilient deformable plastic material such as low density polyethylene.
  • Various forms of carriers and the resulting packages of the prior art may be seen in the US. Patent of Ougljesa Jules Poupiteh, No. 2,874,835.
  • the subject invention as a new and novel carrier and package, contemplates that the plurality of containers be cylindrical cans, the upper portions of which are necked-in. Basically, such necked-in cans have chimes which do not extend radially outwardly of the body of the can.
  • the carrier of the invention is made from an unsupported sheet of resilient deformable plastic material and generally comprises a strip of longitudinallyextending transversely-aligned pairs of container encircling bands.
  • Such a carrier after being mounted on a plurality of cans, can be divided, and is often machine applied and divided, into selected or desired packages, each of a selected number of containers and a carrier section.
  • a common commercial package is the well known o-pack for beverages.
  • the container encircling bands have a particular inner peripheral shape or configuration and size. and cooperate with the integral webs so that when the carrier is applied to necked-in cans a firm compact package results.
  • the particular inner peripheral configuration of each of the container encircling bands includes three different curved shapes particularly disposed or arranged in the carrier. In the portion of the inner periphery of one hand which is adjacent to the web which interconnects the other band of each transverse pair of container encircling bands, the radius of curvature of that portion is substantially greater than the radius of curvature of the necked-in portion ofthe can immediately below the chime.
  • the portions ofthe inner periphery of each container encircling hand adjacent to each end of the first portion are provided with a radius of curvature which is substantially less than the radius of curvature of the necked-in portion of the can beneath the chime thereof.
  • the remaining portion of the container encircling band is preferably such that the inner peripheral portion has a radius of curvature substantially equal to or slightly less than the radius of curvature of the necked-in portion of the can immediately below the chime thereof.
  • each aperture of each container encircling band is substantially less than the circumferential dimension of the necked-in portion of the can below the chime thereof, and the webs between the bands have lengths such that they do not interfere with the band orientation, or necessary band elongation that occurs when the carrier is stretched and applied to a plurality of necked-in cans.
  • FIG. I is a plan view of one embodiment of the carrier of the subject invention.
  • FIG. 2 is another embodiment of the carrier of the subject invention:
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary view of a portion of the carrier shown in FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is atop plan view of a package comprising the carrier of FIG. I and with necked-in cans;
  • FIG. 5 is a side elevational view of the package of FIG. 4:
  • FIG. 6 is a fragmentary end elevational view of the package shown in FIG. 4.
  • the carrier 10 of FIG. I, or II of FIG. 2 is made from a resilient deformable, unsupported plastic sheet material such as low density polyethylene.
  • the material used was a low density polyethylene having a sheet thickness of 0.01 8 inches, and a secantmodulus at 2 percent elongation of approximately 36,000 p.s.i. That material had the desired elasticity andstiffness.
  • the invention may be practiced with other plastic materials having substantially similar resiliency and elastic memory characteristics.
  • the carrier 10 of FIGS. I and 4-6 comprises a longitudinal series of transversely arranged pairs of container encircling bands I2 and I3.
  • the directions longitudinal" and transverse" are used to aid inthc description of the invention and are not used to define the direction in which a large number of pairs 12 and I3 may be formed and arranged to produce a carrier stock.
  • a large number of cans and the carrier stock are simultaneously fed through the applicating machineand after application ofthe carrier to the cans, the machine selectively severs the webs interconnecting the pairs 12 and 13 to produce a plurality of packages of two or more containers.
  • the invention contemplates that two or more pairs of bands I2 and I3 may be alternatively formed and arranged in a carrier stock so that each pair of bands 12 and I3 is aligned either transversely or longitudinally of the length of the stock.
  • An important construction feature of the invention that must be kept in mind in practicing the invention is to maintain the integral webs which interconnect adjacent pairs of bands 12 and 13 of effective lengths such that they cooperate with the bands 12 and 13 to permit firm gripping of the bands about the containers with the necessary band elongation when the carrier is stretched and applied to the necked-in cans.
  • the web which interconnects a band 12 and a band 13 as a pair may have different end shapes. That web 14 in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 46 has convex ends which may be folded downwardly by a person carrying the package to function as finger grips or handle means. That web 15 in FIGS. 2 and 3 has concave ends.
  • the different end construction of the webs l4 and 15 is the only substantial difference between the carrier embodiments of FIGS. I, 46 and FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the container encircling bands are indicated at I8 and 19. and those bands are substantially respectively identical in construction and arrangement to the bands 12 and 13 of FIGS. 1, 46.
  • Important features of the invention are the shape or configuration of the container encircling bands, the size of the bands and webs relative to the size of the necked-in cans intended to be associated therewith, the relative arrangement of the bands in each pair of bands, and the web configurations and cooperations with the bands.
  • FIG. 3 in an enlarged view shows the shape and size of the container encircling bands relative to the necked-in cans intended to be multipackaged with the carrier of the invention.
  • the inner periphery or coir tainer encircling aperture of the container encircling band I9 is shaped to have four arcuate sections 19a, 19/), I90 and 19a.
  • the outer periphery over the free areas and over its imaginary extension through the -webs I5 and l7- is substantially parallel to the inner periphery.
  • FIG. 3 The size of the outer surface of the container substantially immediately below the chime relative to the size of band 19 is shown in FIG. 3 by the dotted line arrows 20, 21 and 22.
  • Each of the arrows 20. 21 and 22 are of the same length and represent the outer radius of curvature of the necked-in container substantially immediately below the chime thereof. As used hereinafter that radius is referred to as the radius ofcurvature of the container or can.
  • the section 19:! is formed to have a radius of curvature. substantially greater than the radius of curvature of the can. That radius of curvature is shown by the arrow 23.
  • the sections I91; and 190 have substantially the same radius of curvature, and that radius of curvature, which is substantially smaller than the radius of curvature of the can. is shown by the arrow 24.
  • the section 19d preferably has a radius of curvature which is substantially equal to or slightly smaller than the radius of curvature of the can, and that radius of curvature is shown by the arrow 25.
  • the inventor believes that the section 19d may have other shapes, but that whatever its shape, it should be substantially the equivalent of the described section 1911 in function, operationand result.
  • each section I91) and 190 is connected to one end of section [9a, and section 19d is connected to the other ends of sections 19I2'and 190 to define the continuous uninterrupted inner periphery of the band 19.
  • the total length of the inner periphery ofthe band I9 is substantially less than the circumferential dimension, measured immediately below the chime, of the neckedin can intended to be associated therewith.
  • the larger circumferential dimension of the can in cooperation with the described shape of the bands and with the arrangement and shape of the webs causes the carrier package to assume a tight compact configuration.
  • the firm compact arrangement of the package is apparent by the close spacing between adjacent cans and by the extreme folding of the webs as may be seen in FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • the necked-in cans about which the carrier is applied are shown at 26.
  • the inventor believes that one important factor in the described arrangement is the size of the webs l4 and I6 in the embodiment of FIGS. 1, 46. and webs I5 and 17 in the embodiment of FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • width the webs vary from a substantially zero width at their longitudinal centers to varying widths which are a result of their lengths and the curvature of the outer peripheries of the bands.
  • Each of the webs l4 and 15 has a length less than the diameter of the outer surface of the can immediately below the chime thereof.
  • Each of the webs I6 and 17 has a length less than the length of' a straight line drawn between the widest transverse dimension of the aperture of the bands. It should be noted that webs 14 of FIG. I and 15 of FIG.
  • the carrier of FIG. 1 has been drawn with substantially equally spaced grid lines thereon and the resulting distortion ofthose grid lines when the carrier is applied to the appropriate cans is shown in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6.
  • FIG. 4 that there is very little variance in spacing between grid lines 27.
  • Some visual distortion occurs because that vicw is a plan view of a concave surface. From those grid lines it is apparent that the adjacent band sections corresponding to 19a of FIG. 3 are being caused to fold downwardly against the cans somewhat in the manner a sheet of paper will tend to fold when a straight edge thereof is urged against a cylindrical surface.
  • the wcbs I4 do not interfere in the downward folding action of those sections and will not cause excessive elongation in sections 19b, 19: or 19d.
  • sections corresponding to sections 1911 of FIG. 3 are and should function substantially merely as an interconnecting member to produce the action described in the other sections of each band. Those sections are shown in FIG. 5. Some substantial stretching of the inner periphery of those sections occurs because of the pull of the other sections. However, in practicing the invention, one should avoid high stretching of the inner periphery of those sections to the detriment of the stretching needed in the sections corresponding to sections 19!: and 19c of PK). 3. To that end the radius of curvature of section i911 more closely approximates the radius of curvature of the cans than the radii of curvature of sections 19a, 19b and 190.
  • the sections 19a had a radius ofcurvature 52 percent larger than the outer radius ofcurvature of the can immediately below the chime.
  • the sections 19b and 19(- had a radius of curvature 50 percent smaller than that of the can, and the section 191/ had a radius of curvature 16 percent smaller than that of the can.
  • the total length of the sections 19a, 19b, 19(- and 1911 was 22 percent smaller than the circumferential dimension of the can immediately below the chime.
  • a multiple container carrier for a plurality of pairs of cylindrical containers comprising a plurality of pairs of hands, a web interconnecting the outer marginal edges on one side of each of the bands ofeach pair of hands, a second web interconnecting the outer marginal edges on one side of each of the bands of adjacent pairs of said bands, said bands and said webs being formed from a resilient deformable plastic sheet material with said bands and said webs lying in the plane of said sheet material, the inner peripheral margin of each of said bands being uninterrupted and shaped to define a closed loop of four arcuate sections.
