Description

Pillow-shaped carton blanks.
This invention relates to carton blanks from which cartons may be formed which are suitable for receiving and holding a wide variety of merchandise which may include small items of clothing or accessories to wear, confectionery, fragrances and cosmetics, food and stationery, gift packaging and stock packaging. The blank may be formed from a wide variety of sheet material including card, acetate, PVC or PETG.
A wide variety of different forms of cartons or containers are known for holding merchandise of the types indicated above. One such carton is the so-called "pillow-pack" which is of elongate tubular form having an elliptical cross-section with elliptical-shaped walls on either side of each end of the pack which, when folded together, form a concavely-curved end wall closing the end of the tube. The disadvantage of this arrangement is that the blank has to be glued together to form the tubular form and it is an object of this invention to produce a carton blank from which a closed carton can be formed without the need to use adhesive to secure parts of the blank together.
This invention provides a carton blank having a perimeter and crease lines within the perimeter delineating a plurality of side walls located end-to-end around the perimeter and a main wall within the side walls separated by crease lines from the side walls, at least end portions of the side walls being elliptical terminating at points on the blank perimeter so that, when folded up about said crease lines with respect to the main wall, the end portions of the side walls become concavely curved and the adjacent main wall is convexly curved.
By way of example, four side walls may be delineated on the blank around the main wall.
In another example, five side walls may be delineated on the blank and in a further example, six side walls may be delineated. At least one pair of the side walls disposed on opposite sides of the blank may be of simple elliptical shape.
In one embodiment according to the invention, one pair of side walls is elliptical and the other pair of side walls is of elongate form having a central parallel-sided portion and part elliptical-shaped end portions to form a generally rectangular carton.
In another example according to the invention, said other pair of side walls is also of simple elliptical shape to form a generally square carton.
In any of the above arrangements, two main walls may be delineated side-by-side each with its encircling side walls and with a common side wall between the main walls one main wall with its side walls providing a tray for the carton and the other forming the lid so that when the tray is folded towards the lid the respective side walls can be interleaved to form a closed carton.
In a further arrangement, two blanks may be provided each with its respective main wall and side walls one providing a tray and the other a lid for the carton so that the side walls can be interleaved when the tray and lid are brought together to form a closed pack.
The following is a description of some specific embodiments of the invention, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, in which;
Figure 1 shows a cardboard blank according to the invention having crease lines defining main and side walls of a carton to be produced from the blank;
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the blank of Figure 1 with the side walls folded up;

Figures 15 and 16 show a further modified form of the carton of Figures 1 to 4 ;
Figure 17 shows a cardboard blank with appropriate crease lines for forming the carton of Figures 15 and 16;
Figure 18 shows a cardboard blank for a modified form of the carton of Figures 15 and 16; and
Figures 17 to 25 show further blanks/cartons according to the invention.
Referring firstly to Figures 1 to 4 of the drawings, there is shown a cardboard blank indicated generally 10 comprising two intersecting circular panels 11. Each panel has a central portion 11a, three independent elliptically shaped segments 12 and one shared elliptical segment defined around its perimeter by crease lines 13 extending from spaced points 14 around the perimeter of the panels.
When the segments 12 are folded up about the crease lines 13 with respect to the central portion 11a, they form concave side walls 15 and the centre portion of the panels form convexly curved top and bottom walls 16. One bottom wall with its side walls forms a tray for the carton and the top wall with its side walls form a lid. When the lid is folded towards the tray as illustrated in Figure 3, the side walls 15 of the lid are interleaved alternately inwardly and outwardly with the side walls of the tray as shown in Figure 4. The resulting carton provides a self-supporting rigid container in which the friction between the interleaved side walls resists any tendency of the container to spring open. Forming the container from overlapping circular panels as shown in Figure 1, results in a container of generally rectangular configuration as viewed in plan.
Reference is now made to Figure 5 of the drawings which shows a blank for a carton similar to that of Figure 4 except that the generally circular panels each have four independent elliptically-shaped segments 12 and a shared elliptical segment 12a around their perimeters to form five side walls in the carton created from the blank.
Figure 6 shows a further modified arrangement in which five independent elliptically-shaped segments 12 and one shared segment 12a are delineated in each panel by creases 13 to form six sides 15 in the carton erected from the blank.
Figure 7 shows a variant in which two side walls 15 are formed with outwardly projecting strap portions 17 having slotted interlockable ends 18. When the carton is closed as shown in Figure 8, the strap portions 17 are folded over the upper main wall 16 and the ends 18 of the straps are interlocked as shown to hold_ the carton closed.
Figure 9 shows a further variant in which separate but similar circular carton blanks are formed to provide the lid and tray of a generally square shaped carton.
Figure 10 shows a generally circular cardboard blank 11 for the tray of the carton of Figure 9 with four elliptical segments 12 spaced around the blank 11 by crease lines 13 and a pair of tabs 17 projecting on opposite sides of the blank for locking the lid to the tray. The lid of the carton is formed from a similar blank to the tray except that the tabs 17 are omitted. Figure 11 shows a blank for the lid of a modified form of the carton of Figure 10 in which the segments 12 are, proportionally much larger than the centre portion lla to create a relatively deeper carton. Figure 12 shows a modified form of the blank of Figure 10 of elliptical form for the tray of a carton which with a similar lid form shown in Figure 13 a generally rectangular shaped carton.
Figure 14 shows a further variant of the blank of Figure 1 in which the blank is elongated in one direction to form a rectangular shaped carton. The arrangement is otherwise similar to that shown in Figures 1 to 4.
Figures 15 and 16 of the drawings show a still further arrangement based on the construction of Figures 1 to 4 and in which one side wall 15 of the lid has an integral projecting tongue 20 which in the closed position is located in a slot 21 in the main wall of the base to hold the lid closed.
Figure 17 shows a cardboard blank for forming the carton of Figures 15 and 16 with 2 intersecting circular panels 11 each having 3 separate elliptical shaped segments 12 delineated by crease lines 13 and a common elliptical segment 15 shared between the two panels. Figure 18 shows a modified form of the blank of Figure 15 in which the blank has 2 intersecting elliptical shaped panels to create an elongate form of the carton of Figures 13 and 14. Figures 19 to 21 depict a further a blank/carton in accordance with the invention in which the elliptical shaped segments of the panels are elongated and the centre portions of the panels are of generally square form to generate a square shaped carton suitable for a burger or the like. The budging segment between the tray and lid is formed with multiple crease lines to form a flexible hinge between the lid and tray.
Figures 22/23 and 24/25 show further blank profiles and the resulting cartons generated from them.
The form of the blank or blanks from which the carton is created enables the carton to be formed without the use of any adhesive. The interleaving side walls of the carton keep the carton closed solely through friction aided, by a locking strap where appropriate.
The main applications of the carton are as follows:-
1. HIGH FASHION RETAIL - A competitor of the pillow pack. Uses seen as lingerie, hosiery, ties, socks, handkerchiefs, scarves, lightweight clothing, leather and jewellery items.
2. CONFECTIONERY - An alternative to the traditional ballantine carton. The advantage of the X-Pak is its product display potential when combined with acetate.
3. FRAGRANCE & COSMETICS - Promotional gift with purchase and as novelty cosmetics packaging .
4. FOOD - Fast food containers.
5. STAIONERY - Gifts and seasonal packaging and <t as an alternative to wrapping paper.
6. PACKAGING INFILL FITMENTS - A new way of displaying product within outer packaging, e.g Easter Egg/confectionery market.
The significant advantages of the carton are as follows:-
EASE OF USE - Ease of make-up at point of purchase makes the carton ideal for presentation and use at point of sale. The carton can be packed flat or nested using a standard nesting machine to pre-break the creases and is easy to store and transport.
CONSTRUCTION - The pack has no glue flaps and locking tabs can easily be incorporated into the design of the pack for greater security. The lack of glue makes the pack more environmentally friendly and cost effective.
ADDED VALUE - The carton is a totally new shape to the packaging industry due to its design and construction. Its aesthetic appeal enhances product with novelty and style.
VERSATILITY - The carton is very versatile and is available in a number of formats. Sizes may range from 20mm to 500mm. The basic shape can be deepened or made smaller. It can be extended into a rectangular shape. Locking devices can be customised to give the pack a specific identity. The carton can be produced in traditional carton materials, PVC (PETG) or combinations such as carton base and acetate lid.
Thus the arrangements according to the invention provide a merchandise container or packaging component in the form of a 2-piece or l-piece pack formed from folded sheet material to provide a container having curved side walls that interlock alternately which can be easily closed without the need of any adhesive equipment and which in either case may be collapsible to a flat form. The carton may be formed in card, other board materials, PVC, acetate or PETG.
