ARTICLE CARRIER Article carriers are known in which two medial partition panels are utilized to separate the articles on one side of the handle from articles on the other side. This arrangement may not provide the necessary longitudinal strength for the carrier particularly where the carrier is used to package large bottles.
According to one form of this invention, a basket style article carrier having bottom, side and end walls, and a multiple-ply handle together with a medial partition is provided with two medial partition panels foldably joined to one medial panel. The medial partition panels are folded in opposite directions into a connected overlapping relationship with one of the medial partition panels adhered to at least one riser panel. A transverse partition tab joined to the upper part of each side wall by means of an anchoring flap is interconnected by a nick to the outer handle panel on the same side of the carrier.
For a better understanding of the invention reference may be had to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a set-up carrier formed according to the invention with a portion of the side wall cut away; FIG. 2 is a plan view of a blank from which the carrier shown in FIG. 1 is formed and wherein dotted lines are utilized to illustrate one nesting arrangement. FIGS. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 depict intermediate stages through which the blank of FIG. 2 is manipulated in order to form a complete and collapsed carrier as is depicted in FIG. 9.
In the drawings the numeral 1 represents a side wall of the carrier to the bottom edge of which a glue flap 2 is foldably joined along fold line 3. End wall panel 4 is foldably joined to an end edge of side wall 1 along fold line 5 while end wall panel 6 is foldably joined to the opposite end edge of side wall 1 along the fold line 7. Riser panel 8 is foldably joined to end wall panel 4 along fold line 9 while medial panel 10 is foldably joined to end wall panel 6 along fold line 11. Riser panel 8 and medial panel 10 are formed with locking notches 8A and 10A respectively. A transverse partition panel 13 is struck from medial panel 10 and is foldably joined thereto along fold line 14. Anchoring flap 13A is foldably joined to transverse partition panel 13 along fold line 19. At the same end of the carrier a transverse partition panel 16 is foldably joined to medial panel 10 along vertically coincidental fold lines and 17. A transverse partition tab 21 is foldably joined along fold line 22 to anchoring flap 23 which is foldably joined to side wall 1 along fold line 23A. Inner handle panel 24 is foldably joined to riser panel 8 along fold line 9 while outer handle panel 25 is foldably joined to medial panel 10 along fold line 11. Hand gripping apertures 26 and 27 are formed in handle panels 24 and 25 respectively.
On the other side of the blank, inner handle panel 28 is foldably joined to handle panel 24 along fold lines 29A and 29B which are disposed at the ends of medial slit 29. Outer handle panel 30 is foldably joined to outer handle panel 25 along medial fold line 31. Hand gripping apertures 32 and 33 are formed in handle panels 28 and 30 respectively.
The cell structure on the opposite side of the blank is similar to that just described and includes riser panel 34 which is foldably joined to handle panel 28 along fold line 35 and which is provided with locking notch 39A.
The bottom of the carrier includes a bottom wall 54 which is foldably joined to side wall 41 along fold line 55 and includes a medial fold line 56.
For strengthening the carrier underneath the handle and for providing medial separation between the articles on opposite sides of the handle, medial partition panel 57 is provided and is foldably joined to medial panel 45 along fold line 58. Additionally medial partition panel 59 is foldably joined to media] panel 45 along fold line 50. Transverse partition tab 60 is joined along fold line 61 to anchoring flap 62 which is foldably joined to side wall 41 along fold line 62A.
To facilitate a smooth folding operation. nick 25A provides a connection between transverse partition tab 21 and outer handle panel 25. Similarly nick 30A provides a connection between transverse partition tab 60 and outer handle panel 30.
In order to form the completed carrier from the blank shown in FIG. 2, an application of glue is first made to the anchoring flaps 23 and 62 and to the adjacent portions of the side walls as shown by stippling in FIG. 2. Thereafter anchoring flaps 23 and 62 are elevated and folded along their respective fold lines 23A and 62A into positions of flat face contacting relation with the inner surfaces of side walls 1 and 41 respectively. This folding operation of course causes the transverse partition tabs 21 and 60 to fold into generally flat face contacting relation with their associated side walls 1 and 41. Upon completion of this folding operation these parts occupy the positions depicted in FIG. 3 which is a fragmentary view of the center portion of the blank of FIG. 2.
Thereafter an application of glue is made to the riser panels 8 and 34 and to all the handle panels 24, 25, 28 and 30 as indicated by stippling in FIG. 2. Following this application of glue, the end wall panels 4 andv 39 are elevated and folded toward the right along fold lines 5 and 42. Simultaneously handle panels 24 and 28 are folded along fold lines 9 and 35 and when this folding operation is completed the blank appears as shown in FIG. 4 with the handle panels 24 and 28 adhered to the inner surfaces of outer handle panels 25 and 30 and with the riser panels 8 and 34 secured to the inner surfaces of inner handle panels 24 and 28 respectively.
With the parts in the positions shown in FIG. 4, an application of glue is made to the inner surfaces of handle panels 24, 25, 28 and 30, transverse partition tabs 21 and 60, transverse partition panels 16 and 47, medial panels 10 and 45 as well as to side walls I and 41 as indicated by stippling in FIG. 4. Thereafter medial panels 10 and 45 are elevated and folded toward the left along fold lines 11 and 46 respectively and when this folding operation is completed the parts appear as 3 shown in FIG. 5. The medial panels and 45 are thus secured to the handle panels 24, 25, 28 and 30. Also anchoring flaps 13A and 36A are adhered to side walls 1 and 41 respectively and the transverse partition panels l6 and 47 are adhered to transverse partition tabs 21 and 60 respectively.
With the parts in the positions depicted in FIG. 5, medial partition panel 57 is elevated and folded along fold line 58 into the position depicted in FIG. 6. Glue is then applied to medial partition panels 57 and 59 and riser panel 34 as indicated by stippling in FIG. 6 and, following this, medial partition panel 59 is elevated and folded along fold line 50 thereby becoming secured to medial partition panel 57 as well as to riser panel 34 as seen in FIG. 7.
Thereafter the bottom panel 54 is folded along its medial fold line 56 to occupy the position depicted in the fragmentary view designated as FIG. 8. Following this folding operation an application of glue is made to the blank as shown in FIG. 7 by stippling. More specifically glue is applied to the glue flap 2, the riser panels 8 and 34, the inner handle panels 24 and 28, medial panels 10 and 45 and medial partition panels 57 and 59. Thereafter the portions of the blank which are disposed above the slit 29 and the fold line 31 as viewed for example in FIG. 7 are elevated and folded into the position depicted in FIG. 9 which represents the completed carrier in collapsed condition.
In order to set the carrier up from its collapsed condition shown in FIG. 9 into the setup condition shown in FIG. I, it is simply necessary to secure the side walls 1 and 41 against movement toward the left and to apply a force toward the left to the medial edges of end wall panels 6 and 43. This expands the carrier and moves the side walls apart. Simultaneously the bottom wall 54 folds into a flat plane. The carrier is maintained in setup condition by cooperation between the locking notches made up of notches 8A, 39A, 10A and 45A and the ends of bottom wall 54. The carrier then appears as shown in FIG. 1.
As is apparent from FIG. 2, a plurality of blanks can be arranged in a nested fashion thereby providing economy of material. More specifically a pair of blanks may be arranged in side by side relation whereby the converging edges of medial panel 10 and medial partition panel 57 are recessed inwardly in order to accommodate the nesting of the outwardly extending lateral protrusion of riser panel 8 of an adjoining blank. Likewise the converging edges of medial panel 45 and medial partition panel 57 are recessed inwardly to nest with the outwardly extending lateral protrusion of riser panel 34 of the same adjoining blank. In addition bottom wall 54 is spaced apart from medial partition panel 59 by a distance equal to the length of bottom wall 54. Therefore this space provides for the nesting of bottom wall 54 of an adjoining blank.
While the invention is shown applied to a six cell carrier having telescoping handles. it is not limited to such structure and may be applied to carriers having a different number of cells and having a different handle structure.
