Definitions

• the invention relates to carriers for transporting beverage containers or the like. More particularly, the invention relates to an improved carrier and blank therefor which includes partition portions to separate the particles contained in the carrier. In still greater particularity, the invention relates to a carrier and blank therefor which includes side partition portions connected to a center partition and glued to straps extending from the center partition to the sidewalls of the carrier.
• partition portions 302 and 304 are connected to straps 306 and 308 respectively.
• Partition portions 302 and 304 are connected along fold lines 310 and 312 respectively as well as being glued to straps 306 and 308.
• Partition portions 302 and 304 are not connected to a center partition 318 nor are they connected to the sidewalls 314 and 316.
• straps 306 and 308 are connected to center partition 318 and sidewalls 314 and 316.
• the partition portions 302 and 304 are only attached to straps 306 and 308 along fold lines 310 and 312 and glued in relatively small areas 320 adjacent' fold lines 310 and 312.
• partitions 302 and 304 are not stable and the carrier is thus weakened.
• partitions 302 and 304 are angled slightly away from sidewalls 314 and 316 such that there is a space between the partitions and sidewalls as shown in Fig. 4.
• Lo straps 306 and 308 a relatively large amount of paperboard is required to form this carrier. That is, in the form of a blank, partitions 302 and 304 are extended from straps 306 and 308 at an angle along fold lines 310 and 312 such that a larger amount of paperboard must be used to form the blank.
• stabilizing the partitions by attaching them to the center partition would strengthen the partitions and the carrier itself.
• the invention is a carrier and blank therefor which includes a center partition and two side partitions connected to the center partition.
• the side partitions are also connected to straps which are themselves connected to the center partition and the carrier sides.
• a handle portion and end panels are connected to the center partition.
• Fig. 1 is a plan view of a blank from which the carrier of the present invention may be formed;
• Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a carrier formed from the blank of Fig. 1;
• Fig. 3 is a side sectional view of the carrier shown in Fig. 2 taken along the line 3-3 in Fig. 2;
• Fig. 4 is a side sectional view of a prior art carrier taken along a section line similar to that in Figs. 2 and 3. Description of the Preferred Embodiment
• side panels 12 are connected along fold lines 14 to end panels 16.
• Strap portions 18 are connected to side portions 12 and a handle portion 20 along fold lines 22 and 24 respectively.
• First center partition portions 26 are connected to end portions 16 along fold lines 28.
• Second center partition portions 30 are connected to end portions 16 along fold lines 32.
• Side partition portions 33 " and 34 are connected to second center partition portions 30 along fold lines 35 and 36 respectively.
• Bottom portions 38 are connected to a side portion 12 along a fold line 40.
• a bottom glue portion 42 is connected to the opposite side portion 12 along a fold line 44.
• the portions shown with heavy lines in Fig. 1 are cut out portions from which the paperboard has been removed. ⁇ Referring to Fig. 2, the carrier formed from the blank of
• Fig. 1 is shown in perspective. End portions 16 are connected to side portions 12 along fold lines 14. Straps 18 are connected to handle portion 20 and side portions 12 along fold lines 24 and 22 respectively. Side partition 33 is glued to strap 18 and connected along fold line 35 to center partition portion 30. Side partition
• FIG. 3 a side sectional view of the carrier formed from the blank of Fig. 1 is shown as taken through section line 3-3 of Fig. 2. Straps 18 are connected to handle 20 at fold lines 24. The center partition is formed from portions 26, 30. Straps 18 are connected to side panels 12 at fold lines 22. Side partitions 33 and 34 are connected to center partition portions 26, 30 at fold lines 35 and 36 respectively. In addition partitions 33 and 34 are glued along their entire width to straps 18. Thus partitions 33 and 34 are supported along at least two sides thereof which allows for increased stability for the partitions and overall increased strength for the carrier. In addition, referring to Fig.
• partitions 33 and 34 are formed as an integral part of the carrier blank, ' less paperboard is used than if they were extended away from the blank as is the case with prior art carriers such as is shown in Fig. 4.
• a prior art carrier is shown in a side sectional view as is the carrier of the present invention in Fig. 3.
• Straps 306 and 308 are connected to side panels 314 and 316 as well as to center partition 318. Side partitions are attached to straps 306 and 308 along fold lines 310 and 312.
• partitions 302 and 304 are glued to straps 306 and 308 in the areas 320 generally designated with broken lines.
• partitions 302 and 304 are only supported in one area which is less than one entire side of the partitions 302, 304 as opposed to applicant's partitions 33, 34 which are supported along two full sides of the partitions.
• partitions 33, 34 may be varied according to engineering design considerations as long as they are attached to straps 18 along at least two sides of partitions.
