  • a totally enclosed container for packaging a plurality of bottles having tapered neck portions is specially constructed so as to maintain the top, bottom, side and end closure panels in tight and snug engagement with the bottles included within the package.
  • Such a tight construction tends to eliminate undesired relative movement and the resulting collision of adjacent bottles.
  • Tightness of the package is accomplished according to this invention by properly dimensioning the interconnected top, bottom and side walls which form a tubular structure and by unique and effective end closure means which includes a transverse lower end flap foldably joined to each end edge of the bottom portion of each side wall together with a transverse upper end flap foldably joined to the inwardly tapered upper shoulder portion of each side wall, each transverse lower end flap being connected with the adjacent transverse upper end flap with web structure which imposes a force to the end closure means whereby the top wall is held firmly and securely against the tops of the packaged bottles and the side walls are braced against outward bulging.
  • a top end panel is foldably joined to the end edges of the top walls and is secured in overlapping relationship with an associated bottom end panel foldably joined to each end edge of the bottom wall and folded upwardly.
  • the top and bottom end panels preferably are secured to the associated transverse upper end flaps and transverse lower end flaps so that the end closure structure not only imposes substantial inward holding pressure to the packaged bottles but also constitutes a multi-ply cushioning end closure means for the container.

  • top end panel component 65 is foldably joined to top wall lap panel 60 along fold line 66.
  • top end panel component 67 is foldably joined to top wall lap panel 60 along fold line 68.
  • tear slits such as are indicated at 69 and 70 may be formed in the shoulder portion 48 of one side wall and corresponding tear slits 71 and 72 may be formed in top wall lap panel 60.
  • an application or" glue is first made to the hand reinforcing panel 30 as indicated by stippling in FIG. 2.
  • Panel 30 is then elevated and folded into face contacting relation with top wall lap panel 25 to occupy the position depicted in the fragmentary view designated as FIG. 3. This operation causes reinforcing panel 30 to adhere to top wall lap panel 25.
  • top wall lap panel 25 together with hand reinforcing panel 30 and top end panel components 34 and 36 are elevated and folded along the fold line 26 to occupy the positions depicted in FIG. 4.
  • top wall lap panel 25 With the structure arranged as shown in FIG. 4, an application of glue is made to the aligned edges of top wall lap panel 25 and to top end panel components 34 and 36 as indicated by stippling in FIG. 4. Simultaneously an application of glue can be made if desired to the aligned edges of top wall lap panel 60 and top end panel components 65 and 67. Thereafter the bottorn portion 42 and the shoulder portion 48 of the side wall together with top wall lap panel 60, lower end flaps 44 and 46, upper end flaps 50 and 52, web panels 54 and S7 and top end panel components 65 and 67 are elevated and folded forwardly along fold line 2 to occupy the positions depicted in FIG. 5.
  • top wall lap panel 25 to adhere along its stippled edge to top wall lap panel 60 by way of a manufacturers joint thus to form a composite top wall for the container.
  • top end panel components 65 and 34 adhere to each other along a manufacturersjoint as do top end panel components 36 and 67.
  • the collapsed structure as shown in FIG. represents the condition of the container upon completion of the container manufacturcrs operations and it is in this form that the container is shipped to a packager such as a bottler.
  • the false score or folding line 2 allows the structure as shown in FIG. 5 completely to collapse because the space between fold line 2 and the side edge 43 of bottom wall 1 is approximately equal to the difference in width between the top wall which is a composite structure comprising top wall lap panels 25 and 60 and the bottom wall I.
  • the bottler sets up the carrier by first forming a tubular structure from the collapsed arrangement shown in FIG. 5. Thereafter the closure structure at one end preferably is closed and the container may then appear somewhat as shown in FIG. 6. Bottles of course are loaded from the left hand end of FIG. 6. Structure as shown in FIG. 6 without the bottles allows the near side of the composite top wall and the side wall 42, 48 to be elevated somewhat higher from the bottom wall than in the completed package due to folding of the bottom wall structure along the fold line 2. Thus it is relatively simple to insert the bottles into the open end of the container due to the fact that the side wall 42, 48 is elevated somewhat by folding along the false score 2.
  • the left side of the container as shown in FIGS.
  • transverse upper end flap l5 and transverse lower end flap 9 are folded inwardly along their respective fold lines 16 and 10 while transverse upper end flap and lower transverse end flap 44 are simultaneously folded inwardly along their respective fold lines 51 and 45 to occupy positions of flat contacting relationship with the bottles within the container.
  • each side wall designated by the numerals I3 and 48 are inwardly tapered and since the fold lines for the transverse upper end flaps l5 and 50 designated by the numerals l6 and 51 are also inwardly ta pered, folding of the lower and upper end flaps on each side of the carrier causes the web panels 19 and 59 to occupy positions between the adjacent portions of each of the upper end flaps 15 and 50 and lower end flaps 9 and 44.
  • web panel 19 is captured between upper end flap 15 and lower end flap 9 and thus imposes a vertical tension in those panels after bottom end panel 3 is secured to lower end flaps 9 and 44 and after top end panel 34, becomes adhered in overlapped relationship to bottom end panel 3 and to the upper end flaps l5 and 50.
  • end closure means is provided for a sleeve type wrapper which not only imposes substantial downward force on the composite top wall which causes that wall snugly to engage the tops of the packaged bottles but the end closure structure also is of a multiply thickness which affords substantial cushioning action against dislodgment of bottles or collision with adjacent containers or other foreign objects near the ends of the container.
  • the container securely grips the packaged bottles and prevents jostling and thereby eliminates the necessity for interior separate cushioning partitions between adjacent bottles.
  • hand grip ping apertures 27 and 62 are disposed on opposite sides of the manufacturers joint. Furthermore, it is apparent that fold lines 28, 29, 63 and 64 extend between the corners of the composite top wall and adjacent ends of the hand gripping apertures 27 and 62 as is obvious from FIG. 1. Thus the portion of the manufacturer's joint which is between the hand gripping apertures 27 and 62 is allowed to move upwardly somewhat when the package is grasped for transport and the portions of the top wall adjacent the fold lines 28, 29, 63 and 64 are allowed to bend. Insurance is thus provided whereby any tendency for the ends of the hand gripping apertures to tear is eliminated since the weight of the package simply causes slight deformation of the top panel along the fold lines 28, 29, 63 and 64 and eliminates possible rupture of the top panel.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 The modification of the invention shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 is similar to that shown in FIGS. 1-7 inclusive.
  • the structure of FIGS. 8 and 9 differs primarily with respect to the construction and arrangement of the transverse upper end flaps.
  • the end flap designated a is foldably joined to top end panel component 34 along fold line 15b and the transverse fold line 15c is formed in the panel 150 and is arranged with one end disposed at a corner of the container.
  • web panel 19a is cut away in part which cut away portion may in some instances facilitate manipulation of the end closure structure by machine operations.
  • upper end flap 15a collapses on itself along the diagonal fold line 150.
  • Upper end closure flap 170 is similarly provided with a fold line 1717 between top end panel component 36 and end flap 17a and a diagonal fold line 17c is formed in upper end flap 17a and a cutaway portion 22b is comparable to cutaway portion 19b.
  • end flap 50a is provided with a fold line 50b and a transverse fold line 50c and web panel 54a is cut away somewhat as shown at 54h.
  • end flap 52a is provided with fold line 52b and with transverse fold line 52(- while cutaway area 571) is provided in conjunction with web 57a.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 The closure structure for the arrangements of FIGS. 8 and 9 is manipulated and secured in a manner virtually identical to that described above in connection with FIGS. 6 and 7.
  • the results obtained by the modification of FIGS. 8 and 9 are similar and almost identical to the characteristics achieved with the arrangement shown in FIGS. 1-7 inclusive, both with respect to tight gripping of the packaged bottles and with respect to the action of the yieldable fold lines 28, 29, 63 and 64.
