Definitions
- This invention relates to containers which can be used to ship a product and subsequently display the product on a store shelf This invention particularly relates to such containers adapted to support the remaining product in a predetermined position as individual product units are removed from the container.
- containers useful for shipping and displaying individual products such as packets of food, tobacco products, compact discs, and other products intended for individual sale.
- Such containers typically have a removable top, such as a box top, which is repositioned or discarded, while the remaining portion of the container or box is placed directly on a store shelf, for example, with the contents then available for sale to the consumer
- One drawback to displaying products in this manner is that after one or more products have been removed from the display container, the remaining products tend to lean or fall forward into the space created by the removal of products. Once this happens, and particularly i f all the remaining product becomes fallen over, the broad face of any product having identifying information is no longer presented to the consumer. The container may even appear empty, when in fact some product remains. Furthermore, the container of fallen product is not aesthetically pleasing, having a disorganized, "picked over" appearance. Therefore, one result of having unstable product that becomes fallen over is lost sales due to lack of product recognition because the broad face of the product is face down in the container.
- the article- engaging flaps or tabs can easily become unfolded to a such a degree that they fail to serve their article holding function. Such unfolding can occur by f ⁇ ctional drag as articles or products are removed from the display container.
- Other methods of forming display containers include various cut out and hinged members.
- U.S. Patent No. 3,696,940, issued October 10, 1972 to Hoffman et al. is an example of this approach.
- Hoffman et al. teach sco ⁇ ng and cutting portions of the container to be hinged and folded to form "partial shelves" that prevent prepackaged or ⁇ gid items form slipping in the carton and thus have a satisfactory and neat display.
- this approach requires a specific container design for different sized articles displayed within. It is also relatively expensive to produce, with the additional sco ⁇ ng, cutting, and folding steps involved.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of the container shown in FJG. 1 at 2-2;
- FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view of one embodiment of a resiliently flexible portion of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view of another embodiment of a resiliently flexible portion of the present invention.
- FIG. 5 is a partial cross-sectional view of another embodiment of a resiliently flexible portion of the present invention.
- the present invention comprises a container adapted for use as a shipping carton and a display container. Individual product items for sale can be shipped in the container of the present invention, and at the time of sale can be displayed in the same container.
- the container compnses a resiliently flexible portion to provide a corapressive force on the individual product items, thereby aiding the product items in remaining in an upright, vertical orientation. Therefore, the improvement of the present invention provides for improved support of the product from the time of shipping through final consumer purchase.
- the container is especially useful for shipping and displaying generally rectangular, thin, products with graphics on the front sides which are stacked in a generally upright, in-file fashion in the container. Such products are prone to falling over once adjacent product is removed.
- Container 100 suitable for transportation, storage, and display of a plurality of articles 60, compnses a box-like structure having at least a first side 10 and an opposing and generally parallel spaced apart second side 20
- the first and second sides are preferably connected by at least one connecting side 30, which joins, and provides structural support to, both first and second sides.
- two connecting sides 30, 31 are used, such that the structure is a box having four generally vertical sidewalls being interconnected at four corners.
- a bottom 40 can serve to connect all the sidewalls as well, the bottom 40 also providing support to the articles 60 stored within container 100
- Each of the sides and bottom have inner surfaces and outer surfaces, the inner surfaces being disposed toward the intenor of container 100, and the outer surfaces being disposed toward the exte ⁇ or of the container 100.
- the container 100 of the present invention is desc ⁇ bed with reference to a front 1 10 and back 1 12, the front 110 being disposed closest to a viewer 1 looking in the direction marked "V" in FIG. 1.
- V the direction marked "V" in FIG. 1.
- the container can have a top (not shown) which is removable after shipping, leaving the container 100 to be used as a display unit, or display tray, for articles 60.
- the container top can be of any type conventional in the art for shipping, and need only provide sufficient support and article protection for shipping and sto ⁇ ng.
- Articles 60 have two major dimensions corresponding to the x-direction and z-direction as depicted in FIG. 1.
- the two major dimensions generally form a rectangular shape, but may form other shapes.
- the dimension corresponding to the x-direction in FIG. 1 is referred to herein as the width of the article, but it is recognized that the designation of "width” is arbitrary for purposes of descnption and is not meant to be limiting.
- the dimension co ⁇ esponding to the z- direction as depicted in FIG. 1 is refe ⁇ ed to herein as the "height" of the article, and the dimension co ⁇ esponding to the y-direction as depicted in FIG.
- the container 100 of the present invention is best utilized if at least a portion of the two sides of the article defining its width are generally parallel, co ⁇ esponding to the generally parallel side walls 10 and 20 of container 100.
- the container 100 of the present invention provides a beneficial improvement in shipping and display containers for products such as compact discs, computer disks, books, and products packaged in relatively flat dispensers, such as make up compacts, tissue boxes, premoistened wipe travel packs, and the like.
- Container 100 has vertical dimensions refe ⁇ ed to herein as the height, and co ⁇ esponding to the z-direction, as shown in FIG. 1. Likewise, container 100 has a width dimension co ⁇ esponding to the x-direction as depicted in FIG. 1. Due to the thickness of the sidewall materials, the container can have an inner width co ⁇ esponding to the dimension between the respective inner faces (the inner faces being disposed toward the interior of the container 100) of the sides 10 and 20, and an outer width co ⁇ esponding to the respective outer faces of the sides 10 and 20. Sides 10 and 20 have a height, which are preferably equal. As shown in FIG.
- Container 100 can be made of any suitable material for shipping and storing articles for consumer retail sale.
- container 100 is made of paper materials, such as corrugated cardboard of sufficient size and strength.
- the container 100 is preferably assembled from a flat, pre-cut piece of cardboard stock and folded into its final shape by methods known in the art.
- the sides are folded into position and held by "tab and slot" or other mechanical connection
- other methods such as adhesive bonding, stapling, and the like can also be used
- the purpose of the resiliently flexible portion is to provide the display container 100 with a portion having an inside width dimension that is less than the width dimension of articles 60.
- the resiliently flexible portion can be deformed, for example in the x-direction, permitting snug placement of the articles in the container for shipping In one embodiment, simply being deformed and providing a snug fit for articles 60 can be sufficient to stabilize articles 60, However, in a prefe ⁇ ed embodiment, the resiliently flexible portion can provide a restonng force that exerts pressure on the articles 60, causing the articles to remain in the packed o ⁇ entation until removed by the consumer. In a prefe ⁇ ed embodiment, the resiliently flexible portion should exert enough force to stabilize the articles (60) without causing undue resistance to removal by the consumer. This force balance can be achieved, for example, by choosing a resiliently flexible portion having a predetermined restonng force of sufficient amount to stabilize articles, but not more.
- resiliently flexible portion 70 compnses a single-face corrugated cardboard member 72
- the member can be in the form of a stnp having a height "H" co ⁇ esponding to the dimension in the z- direction; a length co ⁇ esponding to the dimension in the y-direction; and a thickness "T" co ⁇ esponding to the dimension in the x-direction.
- the single-face corrugated can be any suitable corrugated as is standard in the industry
- the corrugated is single-face, C-flute stock that have been cut into suitably-dimensioned stnps and applied to a suitable portion of container 100 side 10 and/or 20
- a suitable matenal can be obtained from Weyerhauser Co., descnbed as C-flute corrugated having single face 42 pound liner with 26 pound medium flutes.
- the resilient flexible portion 70 can be a stnp of single face corrugated paper stock with a corrugation width of about .1 mm to about 20 mm and a corrugation frequency of about .1 to about 10 folds per cm.
- the corrugation frequency may also be from about 2 to about 6 folds per centimeter.
- the corrugation frequency may also be from about 3 to about 8 folds per centimeter.
- the corrugated may be single face E-flute (having a thickness T of 0.050 inches (1 27 mm)), A-fiute (having a thickness T of 0.2084 inches (5 29 mm)), and sizes in between.
- Single-face corrugated cardboard member 72 can be a separately attached piece or stnp, or it may be integrally formed into the side 10 or 20 when manufactu ⁇ ng the container blank, pnor to forming into a box. In one embodiment, for a container having a height of about 5.625 inches (142.87 mm), single-face corrugated cardboard member 72 has a height of about 2 inches (50.8 mm) and is disposed about 1 inch (25.4 mm) from the bottom 40. In general, the height of member 72 can be from about 5% to 100% of the height of wall 10 or 20, the maximum height of member 72 being limited only by the height of sides 10 or 20 and the minimum height being determined in part by the compressive force requirements of the particular product being displayed.
- single-face corrugated cardboard member 72 can be placed a predetermined distance from the bottom of the container, the predetermined distance preferably being between about 5% to about 50% the height of wall 10 or 20, and more preferably between about 5% to about 25% the height of wall 10 or 20.
- the length of single-face corrugated cardboard member 72 can be the length of on side 10 or 20, as measured co ⁇ esponding to the z-direction.
- one single-face corrugated cardboard member 72 is placed as a strip on each side wall 10 and 20, as shown in FIG. 2.
- each side wall with its strip member 72 is a minor image of the other.
- having one single-face corrugated cardboard member 72 only on one side wall, either 10 or 20, is sufficient to provide a constraining force to the articles within the container to prevent falling over.
- more than one strip member 72 may be necessary on one or both sides 10 and or 20.
- one embodiment comprises forming the entire box, or at least the sides 10 or 20, of single-face corrugated card board stock.
- the entire side 10 or 20 serves as the resiliently flexible portion 70 of container 100.
- the strength can be engineered to be sufficient for display purposes.
- the top of the container can be the primary load-bearing component.
- the flutes 74 of the single-face corrugated cardboard member serve as resilient cushions that deform to provide a snug fit to the articles 60 therein.
- the flutes can also apply a restoring force when compressed, such that when an article is placed in container 100, as long as the article has sufficient width (i.e., co ⁇ esponding to the x-direction as depicted in FIGs. 1-3) to compress one or more flutes, a restoring force applies pressure to the article to constrain it in the orientation in which it is originally placed.
- the principle of operation for the present invention is that the container 100 comprises a resiliently flexible portion 70 which is compressible and at least partially compressed when an article of sufficient size is placed within. Once the article is placed, the resiliently flexible portion 70 of container 100 fits snugly around the edges of the article in contact with the resiliently flexible portion. In a prefe ⁇ ed embodiment, the resiliently flexible portion applies a pressure to a portion of the article sufficient to further stabilize the article in a desired o ⁇ entation, while not providing so great a pressure to prevent someone from manually removing the article when desired.
- the resiliently flexible portion 70 include both separately affixed members (such as the stnp 72 shown in FIG. 3) and integrally formed members.
- Integrally formed members can include members formed by deep embossing the cardboard stock sides 10 or 20. Such deep embossing can be made by use of rolling embossing dies similar in configuration to a gear wheel that can roll over paper stock supported upon a deformable anvil The deep embossing can permanently deform the sides 10 or 20 to effectively form a stnp of resiliently flexible portion, similar in function to the affixed stnp 72.
- the deep embossed portion can include regions of complete rupture of the cardboard stock in the regions of embossing, creating one or a senes of regularly spaced openings therethrough.
- One example of another embodiment of a separately affixed member is the use of single-face corrugated cardboard with the flutes thereof o ⁇ ented generally orthogonal to those shown in FIG 3.
- a second embodiment of resiliently flexible portion 70 compnsing a stnp of single-face corrugated cardboard 72 is shown with the flutes 74 running in a direction co ⁇ esponding to the y-direction (into the paper as depicted in FIG. 4)
- the stnp shown in FIG. 4 can be affixed by adhesive bonding, or other suitable bonding as is known in the art.
- Stnp 72 may be affixed to the container blank pnor to forming into a box shape, or after the box is formed and pnor to packing for shipment.
- the flutes of the single-face corrugated cardboard of the stnp member 72 are onented as shown in FIG. 3 or as shown in FIG. 4, or in some intermediate onentation, the stnp provides a resilient portion that can be compressed in the x-direction when under pressure due to the article being stored within container 100.
- resiliently flexible portion 70 comprises integrally formed portion 76, preferably formed in a container 100 comprising heavy paperboard or corrugated cardboard.
- embossed ridges 78 are formed in side 10 (or 20, or both) to form resilient portions that can deflect under the compressive forces of an article being placed into container 100.
- the ridges run generally straight and parallel in the y-direction, corresponding to the length of the container 100.
- ridges 78 may be formed in virtually any orientation so long as they serve the function of providing a compressive force to the articles stored within container 100.
- Ridges may be embossed, debossed, wet- formed, press-formed, or formed in any other manner known in the art for permanently deforming paperboard, cardboard, and the like.
- ridges 78 are formed when the cardboard stock is in an unfolded configuration.
- resiliently flexible portion 70 that can be separately affixed to container 100 can comprise plastic, such as plastic extrusion of resilient, flexible material, metal, such as thin metal spring material, or fluid-filled bladders with sufficient flexibility and integrity to withstand shipping and handling stresses.
