Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to foldable containers and more particularly to a foldable container having a reinforced internal construction. II. BACKGROUND ART
  • Fresh meat is typically packaged in containers to protect the meat during transportation thereof and.while in storage. These containers may be individually stacked on top of each other during shipment and/or in pallet loads during storage. Thus, the stacking strength of these containers is critical to prevent collapse while the containers are being transported or stored especially under refrigerating conditions.
  • the ' con ⁇ tainer have a ⁇ rectangular shape to contain the meat and a solid bottom to reduce the likelihood of con ⁇ taminates entering the interior of the container through any bottom seals.
  • the flutes in one pair of walls run horizontal and vertical in the other pair of walls.
  • the flutes are horizontal or lengthwise of the side walls.
  • multi-piece constructions have been used. This construction is typically in the form of a three piece modified Bliss style container.
  • Cross stacking strength can be expressed as a percentage of single containers compressive strength (corres ⁇ ponds to single .aligned stack strength) .
  • posts have been incorporated in multiple piece containers, such as the three piece Bliss style container, such posts and their location have not been able to significantly raise the per ⁇ centage of the cross stacking strength relative to the single strength of the container.
  • these prior art container constructions would not suggest the use of posts in single piece containers to raise the percentage of the cross stacking strength relative to the single strength thereof. As a result, the prior art containers have not met the needs of the industry. III.
  • reinforcing posts located along the side walls of a rectilinear container at locations with respect to the end walls of the container corresponding to the width of the container so that the stacking strength, espec ⁇ ially the cross stacking strength, of the con- container is maximized while the amount of"the material required therefor is minimized.
  • the reinforcing columns may be formed as an integral part of a single blank container so that no waste is.encountered in fabricating blanks for the container. Further, use of a single blank container greatly simplifies container erection so as to minimize the cost thereof.
  • the container incorporating the invention is typically formed from a single blank of sheet material and has a bottom panel with opposed end and side panels foldably connected to the bottom panel with the end and side panels erected to an upright position and forming corners therebetween. Opposite ends of each end panel have corner connecting members foldably joined thereto where the corner connecting members form columns therein so that the columns are located adjacent the side panels of the container at'a distance from the opposite end panel corresponding to the width of the container so that the cross stacking strength of the container is enhanced.
  • the corner connect ⁇ ing members include a base section which is joined to the edge of the end panel and extends along the inside of the side panel to be secured thereto so that the end panel and side panels are inter ⁇ connected.
  • the projecting end of the base section has a column forming section foldably joined thereto which overlies the base section and projects interiorly of the side panel.
  • the column formed in the column section extends between the bottom panel and the top flap when they are closed to transmit compressive loads between the top and bottom of the container.
  • the corner connecting member includes a return • section foldably connected to the column forming section and which overlies the base section on that side opposite the side panel and is secured thereto to maintain the column configuration.
  • An end overlap section is provided on the pro- jecting end of each corner connecting member which overlies a portion of the end panel and may be secured thereto to reinforce the corner.
  • the end overlap section may be joined directly to the return section or may be connected to the return section through a corner column section which extends across the corner between the base section and the end panel to form a corner column as well.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodi ⁇ ment of the invention partly broken away to show the internal construction thereof;
  • Fig. 2 is a plan view of a blank used to make the container of Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating the steps in erecting the container of Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 4 is a perspective view illustrati g a second embodiment of the invention with portions thereof broken away to show the internal construc ⁇ tion thereof;
  • Fig. 5 is a plan view of a blank used to fabri ⁇ cate the container of Fig. 4; and Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating the erection steps to erect the container of Fig. 4.
  • the container of the invention is designed pri ⁇ marily for packaging of primal and subprimal cuts of meat for shipment from the meat packager to the retailer. Such cuts are typically film wrapped so that the container is not exposed to the moisture in the meat itself. Where the container is used with unwrapped meat cuts, it is appropriately coated with a water barrier to reduce the deterioration of the container from the moisture in the meat. It will also be appreciated that modified constructions of the container may be used for the shipment of ice pack meats such as poultry.
  • Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of the container which has been designated 10 and which is erected from a single blank 11 of sheet material.
  • the typi ⁇ cal sheet material is double-faced corrugated fibre ⁇ board, however, it is to be understood that solid fibreboard sheets may be used.
  • the blank 11 may * be formed by conventional blank forming equipment which automatically slots, slits and scores the blank 11.
  • the blank 11 includes a rectilinear bottom panel 15 with opposed ends and opposed sides.
  • a pair of side panels 16 are foldably joined to the bottom panel 15 along the opposite sides thereof at side fold lines 18 while end panels 19 are foldably joined at opposite ends of the bottom panel 15 along end fold lines 20.
  • the side panels 16 have a length corresponding to the length of the bottom panel 15 while the end panels 19 have a length corresponding to the width of the bottom panel 15.
  • the side and end panels 16 and 19 have a common height for apparent reasons.
  • a top flap 21 is foldably joined to each of the side panels 16 at the projecting edge thereof along a top fold line 22.
  • the top flaps 21 have transverse width greater than half the transverse width of the bottom panel 15 so that the top flaps 21 will overlap each other when the container is erected and the top flaps closed as will become more apparent.
  • the flutes F are typically arranged so that they ' run longitudinally of the bottom panel 15.
  • the flutes in the end panels will run along the height of the panels perpendicular of the bottom panel while the flutes in the side panels will run lengthwise of the side panels parallel to the bottom panel.
  • a corner connecting member 25 is integral with each side edge of each end panel 19 along, fold line 26 oriented normal to fold line 20.
  • the corner connecting member 25 is separated from the side panel 16 and top flap 21 by a cut 28.
  • the cut 28 also forms a sealing tab 29 on the end of top flap 21 along the perforated fold line 30. This, of course, forms a cutout in the corner connecting member 25.
  • the height of the corner connecting member 25 corresponds to the height of end panel 19 and its length corres ⁇ ponds to the combined height of side panel 16 and the transverse width of top flap 21 so that the projecting end edge 31 of connecting member 25 is aligned with the projecting side edge 34 of the top flap 21. This serves to maximize raw material utilization.
  • the corner connecting member 25 includes a 762
  • the base section 35 is foldably connected to the end panel 19 and projects outwardly therefrom for the distance d, to fold line 30 parallel to fold line 26.
  • the column section 36 is foldably con ⁇ nected to the base section 35 along fold line 40.
  • the column section 36 has a first portion 41 connected to section 35 along fold line 40 and a second portion 42 foldably joined to the first portion 41 along fold line 44 parallel to fold line 40.
  • Portions 41 and 42 have transverse widths WP, and WP 2 and a common height H p corres ⁇ ponding to the inside height of the container.
  • the return section 38 is foldably connected to the edge of portion 42 of column section 36 along reverse fold line 45 parallel to fold line 44.
  • fold line 45 is aligned with one edge of cutout 31 although its position relative to cutout 31 may vary as the container dimensions vary.
  • the end overlap section 39 is joined to the end of the return section 38 along reverse fold line 46 also parallel to fold line 45.
  • Fold line 46 is located at the other end of the cutout 31 although its location may vary with different container dimensions.
  • Fig. 3 shows the blank
  • FIG. 3 also shows two additional dia ⁇ grams to illustrate the top flaps being closed, how ⁇ ever, these diagrams are for illustration only since the erected container 10 is typically not 762 closed and sealed until after it is loaded.
  • Stage A shows the interior side of blank 11 after the adhesive has been applied to maintain the container 10 erected.
  • the ad- hesive AD has been shown only in Fig. 2 and not in Fig. 3.
  • the adhesive AD is applied to that portion of the base section 35 of each corner connecting member 25 which the return section 38 of the member 25 will overlie.
  • Adhesive AD is applied to those portions of end panels 19 which the end overlap sections 39 will overlie.
  • Ad ⁇ hesive AD is also applied to those portions of the side panels 16 which the base sections 35 of the corner connecting members 25 will overlie.
  • Stage B shows the blank 11 after the corner connecting members 25 have been folded inwardly about the fold lines 40 so that the column, return and end overlapping sections are normal to the plane of blank 11 while the base section thereof remains coplanar therewith.
  • Stage C shows the blank 11 after the column sections 36 of the corner connecting members 25 have been folded inwardly along the fold lines 40 and the second portion 42 folded inwardly with respect to the first portions 41 about fold line 44 so that the portions 41 and 42 overlie the base section 35 and angle away from section 35 to form an apex 48 along fold line 44.
  • the return section 38 is folded outwardly with respect to the second portion 42 of post section 36 along the fold line 45 and the end overlap section 39 is folded outwardly with respect to the return section 38 about fold line 46 until the end overlap section 39 is normal to return section 38.
  • the return section 38 is located so that the edge formed between return section 38 and end over ⁇ lap section 39 along fold line 46 is in registra ⁇ tion with fold line 26 between the end panel 19 and the base section 35 of the corner connecting member 25.
  • the return section 38 is then pressed against the adhesive AD on the base section 35 to. adhesively attach sections 35 and 38 together and maintain the column section 36 in an erected condition.
  • the end overlap sections 39 are held up off of the adhesive AD on the end panels 19 as illustrated at Stage C.
  • the glued corner connecting members 25 are then folded inwardly 0 about fold lines 26 so that the base sections 35 of me - bers 25 are normal to the end panels 19.
  • the end overlap sections 39 are then pressed down onto the adhesive AD on the end panels 19 to secure them to the end panels 19.
  • the blank 11 is shown in this condition at Stage D. It will likewise be under- stood that the adhesive on the end panels 19 can be omitted. This permits the end overlap sections 39 to lie against the end panels 19 during the folding operation in Stages C and D.
  • the side panels 16 are folded up about the fold lines 18 and then pressed up about the fold lines 18 and then pressed against the base sections 35 of the members 25 to cause the adhesive AD on the side panels 16 to secure the base sections 35 of the members 25 to the side panels 16.
  • Stage F completes the erection of the container 10.
  • the container 10 is loaded while the flaps 21 are still open and then the flaps 21 folded over and the sealing tabs 29 secured to the end panels 19.
  • the over ⁇ lapped top flaps 21 are typically adhesively join ⁇ ed in their overlapped portions.
  • the dimensions of the bottom side and end panels 15, 16 and 19 are selected so that the erected container 10 as seen in Fig. 1 has a width less than its length L .
  • the width W r is some fraction of the length L p so that the containers will cross stack into a typical pallet load with the overall dimensions of the layers matching.
  • the container 10 illustrated has a width W c about two-thirds the length Lp so that three containers turned endwise line up with two containers turned lengthwise to permit five con- tainer layers with a reversing pattern whereby the layers interlock.
  • Each erected column section 36 is located in the vicinity of the cross over points where the side walls 16 of each cross stacked container cross over the side walls of the other container.
  • the apex 48 of the column sections 36 are located the distance d CO from the opposite end panel 19. Good results have been obtained where the apex 48 is located within about an inch of the distance d combat CO. Where this is the case, the container cross stacked thereon will typically overlie some portion of the column section 36.
  • Fig. 4 shows a second embodiment of the in ⁇ vention which has been designated 110 and which is erected from a single blank 111 of sheet material as best seen in Fig. 5. The erection steps of the blank 111 into the container 110 are shown in Fig. 6.

  • the blank 111 is formed generally in the same manner as the blank 11.
  • the blank 111 has a rectilinear bottom panel 115 with opposed side panels 116 joined to the bottom panel along side fold lines 118 and with a pair of end panels 119 joined to the opposite ends of bottom panel along the end fold lines 120.
  • Top flaps 121 are foldably joined to the side panels 116 at the projecting edge thereof along top fold lines 122 with the width of the top flaps 121 being such that they overlap when the flaps 121 are closed.
  • the flutes F are typi ⁇ cally arranged so that they run longitudinally of the bottom panel 115 similar to those of the blank 11.

  • the strength results are similar to those for the container 10. It will be noted that the erected column
  • the sections 36 and 136 have a triangular cross section with a prescribed projecting height h, which corresponds generally to the mis ⁇ alignment range likely to be encountered when the containers are stacked.
  • the height h is nominally one inch and may vary over a range of 1/2 - 2 inches. This serves to minimize the distance the column sections 136 project out into the interior of the con- tainer 10 or 110. It will also be appreciated that the cross sectional shape of the columns may be changed as required without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the flutes F are oriented in the blank 11 or 111 so that maximum, column strength is achieved in the column sections 36 or 136.
  • Those blanks 11 and 111 illustrated show the flutes F running along the height of the column sections 3"6 and 136. * This orientation is typi- cally used on containers where the container width is less than about 1.5 times the container depth and the container depth is greater than about eight inches. For containers with a width greater than about 1/5 times its depth and a depth of about eight inches or less, the flutes F are oriented generally normal to the column height.
