Definitions

• the invention concerns a method in connection with mount- ing block cartons in freezing frames and a block carton blank suited for this purpose, and by the invention there is aimed at improving the certainty for a correct mounting of these cartons in the frames.
• the invention has close relation to the invention indicated in WO 96/02422 published on February 1, 1996, why reference is made to the problem indicated therein.
• block cartons for lining of freezing frames for receiving a fresh food material, e.g. of fish, which is desired to be frozen for creating an intermediate product in the shape of semi- sized, frozen blocks which are forwarded to factories for further processing.
• the block cartons are constituted of sim ⁇ ple carton blanks, that are prepared with folding lines in such a way that they have a bottom panel corresponding to the size of the freezing frames and from this projecting side wall panels, which by the mounting of a carton blank in a freezing frame are naturally raised to upright positions along the inner sides of the frame.
• one of the lon ⁇ gitudinal side panels are extended in a lid panel, which af- ter the filling of the carton lining in the freezing frame may be swung inwardly over the filling, which in this way will be covered by carton on all side faces of the block.
• the individual units are conveyed to freezing in a freezer of the shelf type, after which they may be knocked out of the freezing frames and stacked for shipment, pres ⁇ ently with the carton wall panels as intermediate layers for preventing a total freezing together and besides that the carton blanks by themselves are totally stabilized by their freezing attachment to the frozen filling blocks.
• the block cartons may be prepared without any special locking means in that they are supported and kept in place by their sideway abutment against the surrounding freezing frame and again ⁇ t a fixed bottom plate, respective- ly, and partly by the block freezing itself.
• the block cartons only have a few main features in common with the more commonly known, self-supporting carton packings with corner flap locks and glue joints. It is desirable that corner flap extensions appear in connection with the side wall panels of the block cartons, which may be swung outwardly or rather inwardly at the cor ⁇ ners for creating a blocking against an instant liguid and material leakage from the filling material through the cor- ners of the block carton raised in the freezing frame.
• corner flaps are folded inwardly to a position at the outside of the abutting side wall panel, in that a position at the inside may or will cause the corner flap to be more or less protruding into the frozen filling material, which makes the further processing of it very dif ⁇ ficult.
• the operator has a view to the inner side of the mounted block carton and thereby he may also easily ascertain whether the corner flaps are cor ⁇ rectly folded indwardly, that is to say that if they accord ⁇ ing to the present invention are made with an inwardly facing surface marking, that makes them visually different from the inside of the adjoning side wall panels.
• the operator may readily perceive whether a corner flap is wrongly placed, so that this fault may be corrected already before the com ⁇ mencement of the filling of material to be frozen, i.e. by a primary control at the supplier.
• This perception by the operator may principally be sub ⁇ stituted by an automatic surveillance system, which optically inspects the internal outlook of the mounted block cartons and activates an alarm when internal corner areas with ap- pearing fault indication markings are detected as an indica ⁇ tion of corner flaps appearing at the inside and not at the outside in the raised carton lining.
• Fig. 1 is an elevated perspective view of the inner side of a signal carton blank with corner flaps according to the invention.
• Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a not correctly situated signal carton blank in a freezing frame.
• Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of the inside of a carton blank corresponding to that described in WO 96/02422. As it appears from the figure the corner flaps 18, 20 are provided with markings 27, which in case of incorrect placing of the carton blank as lining in a freezing frame 22 will be visible from the inside, compare fig. 2.
• markings 27 will be covered by the raised side panels 8. These markings can very well be used in addition to such markings, which according to WO 96/02422 are used for a cor ⁇ responding external check of the finished block products.
