Description

CONTAINER WITH BRACING MEANS HAVING SECURING FLAPS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a container.
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
WO 01/94216 describes a container which has a base, a pair of opposed endwalls, a pair of opposed sidewalls with each sidewall having a reinforcing pillar. A partition connects the reinforcing pillars together. If the container is made of corrugated board and if the corrugated board is soaked with water and contains a load within it, the reinforcing pillars tend to concertina inwardly when the container is raised.
It is accordingly an object of this invention to provide a container in which this disadvantage is at least reduced.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the invention a container includes a base, a pair of opposed endwalls and a pair of opposed sidewalls with each sidewall having at least one reinforcing pillar, bracing means extending between the reinforcing pillars, the bracing means having a securing flap at each of its opposite ends, with each securing flap being secured to its respective sidewall adjacent its respective reinforcing pillar. Preferably each securing flap spans its reinforcing pillar and is preferably secured to its sidewall on either side of its reinforcing pillar. Each securing flap may be secured to its sidewall by adhesive.
Each securing flap is preferably located towards the upper edge of its sidewall. However each securing flap may be located towards the lower edge of its sidewall in which event it may be indirectly secured to its sidewall via a base flap which is itself secured to the sidewall.
Each securing flap may be integrally formed with the bracing means which may be a partition. Each securing flap may be connected to the bracing means via a crease line and each securing flap preferably extends orthogonally to the remainder of the bracing means.
The container may have a ledge extending inwardly from each of its endwalls, with each endwall having opposed endwall flaps secured to their respective sidewalls and with each endwall flap having a ledge flap secured to the upper surface of the ledge.
The container may have a ledge flap cut-out in its base below each ledge flap so that when one container is stacked on top of another container, the ledge flaps of the lower container locate within the ledge flap cut-outs of the upper container.
According to another aspect of the invention a container includes a base, a pair of opposed endwalls, a pair of opposed sidewalls and a pair of opposed ledges extending inwardly from the endwalls, with the endwalls each having opposed endwall flaps secured to their respective sidewalls and each endwall flap having a ledge flap secured to an upper surface of its respective ledge. The container may have a ledge flap cut-out in its base below each ledge flap so that when one container is stacked on top of another container, the ledge flaps of the lower container locate within the ledge flap cut-outs of the upper container.
According to another aspect of the invention a method of erecting a container includes the steps of:
providing a body blank having a base panel and a pair of opposed endwall panels;
providing two separate sidewall panels;
forming at least one reinforcing pillar in each of the two separate sidewall panels;
securing the endwall panels of the erected body blank to the sidewall panels;
bracing opposed reinforcing pillars together with bracing means extending between opposed reinforcing pillars; and
securing securing flaps extending one from either end of the bracing means to the sidewall panels adjacent the reinforcing pillars.
The securing flaps are preferably secured to the sidewall panels on each side of the reinforcing pillars. The securing flaps may be secured to the sidewall panels with an adhesive.
The method may include the steps of forming ledges extending inwardly from each endwall panel, securing the endwall panels to the sidewall panels by endwall flaps, and securing ledge flaps extending from the endwall flaps to the respective upper surfaces of the ledges.
The method may also include the step of forming ledge flap cut-outs in the base panel so that when containers erected from the blanks are stacked one on top of the other, the ledge flaps of a lower container can locate within the ledge flap cut-outs of an upper container.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a container or box according to the invention;
Figure 2 is a plan view of a base and endwall blank for the box of figure
1 ;
Figure 3 is a plan view of a sidewall blank for the box of figure 1 ;
Figure 4 is a plan view of a partition for the box of figure 1 ;
Figure 5 is a plan view in the direction of arrow 5 of figure 1 ;
Figure 6 is a side view in the direction of arrow 6 of figure 1 ; and
Figure 7 is a sectioned plan view of part of the box of figure 1 which part is circled and marked 7. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Referring firstly to figure 1 , a box 10 made of corrugated cardboard has a base 12, two endwalls 14, two sidewalls 16 and an opening 18 through which articles can be placed in the box 10. Each sidewall 16 has an integrally formed reinforcing pillar 20 located intermediate the ends of the sidewalls 16. A partition 21 connects the reinforcing pillars 20 together.
The sidewalls may be longer or shorter than the endwalls in a rectangular box. In a square box the sidewalls and endwalls will be of equal length. However, it is to be appreciated, as will be described below, the reinforcing pillars 20 are formed in the two separate sidewalls, and not in the endwalls which are integrally formed with the base.
The partition 21 has integrally formed securing flaps 22 secured by an adhesive to the outer surfaces of the sidewalls 16. Each securing flap 22 spans its respective reinforcing pillar 20 and is secured to the outer surface of its sidewall 16 on either side of its reinforcing pillar 20. Each securing flap 22 is connected to the partition 21 by a crease line 25.
It will be appreciated that the partition 21 reinforces the sidewalls 16 from bulging outwardly under load and also supports the base of a box stacked on top of a lower box from sagging downwardly into the lower box. The securing flaps 22 prevent the reinforcing pillars 20 from collapsing.
Each endwall 14 has endwall flaps 24 adhered to the sidewalls 16 with adhesive. The base 12 has base flaps 26 adhered to the sidewalls 16 with an adhesive. A ledge 28 extends inwardly from each endwall 14. Ledge flaps 30 extending from the endwall flaps 24 are secured with an adhesive to the upper surface of the ledges 28. The ledge flaps 30 serve to hold their ledges 28 in place and to reinforce the corners of the box. Ledge flap cut-outs 33 are provided in the base 12.1. The ledge flaps 30 of a lower box (not shown) locate within the ledge flap cut-outs of an upper box to locate boxes stacked one on top of the other.
Opposite ends of the sidewalls 16 are formed into corner reinforcing pillars 32 and securing flaps 34 extending from the corner reinforcing pillars 32 are secured to the endwalls 14 with an adhesive.
The box 10 is erected from a body blank 36, two separate sidewall panels 16.1 and a partition blank 21.1. The body blank 36 has a base panel 12.1, opposed endwall panels 14.1 , endwall flaps 24.1 with ledge flaps 30.1 , base flaps 26.1 , and ledge panels 28.1.
It will be appreciated that many modifications or variations of the invention are possible without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.
