Definitions

  • This invention is directed to hangable packages typically employed in a self-serve retail environment where consumers can select individual packages from a shelf or rack.
  • this invention is directed to packages that include a card which is hung from a peg that passes through an opening in the top of the card.
  • Package structures used to display articles for sale come in a wide array of designs.
  • the ideal package is inexpensive to manufacture using well known manufacturing equipment and has several features that are important to the consumer and/or the retail store's personnel. For example, in order to maximize the merchant's flexibility for displaying a package at various locations throughout the store, the package should be both peggable as well as able to stand without needing a holder or tray.
  • Peggable packages are packages that can be suspended from a generally horizontal rod that passes through an opening in the package.
  • Another desirable feature is partial portability which means that a portion of the package's contents, including a portion of the packaging itself, can be removed from the initial package structure without destroying the integrity and usefulness of the initial package. Another desirable feature is that the consumer can easily and reliably verify the package's contents before making the purchase.
  • a feature that is important to store owners is that the package enables a sufficiently high level of product density which means that the amount of wasted space within a single package or between packages on a display rack is minimized. To counteract the problem of some consumers stealing a portion of the product from a package and then returning the partially depleted package to the store shelf, the package should be sufficiently robust to minimize pilferage while also providing easy access to the product by consumers who legally purchase the package.
  • the ideal package will provide adequate space on the package's exterior surface for advertising, logo placement, instructions regarding the product, etc.
  • One of the most popular package structures is generally referred to as a "blister card.”
  • the basic components of the blister card are a rectangularly shaped card member having a thickness of approximately 6.6 mm and a thermally formed cup shaped container made of a transparent plastic material that surrounds the merchandise to be displayed and sold.
  • the container is secured to the card member which is hung from a peg that is attached on one end to a vertical surface such as a display stand.
  • the card is hung by inserting one end of the peg through an opening in the card that is located near an edge of the card.
  • Conventional blister cards perform satisfactorily when the merchandise in the container is not too heavy. For example, products such as pencils or small quantities of paper clips are well suited for sale in blister cards.
  • blister card package structure to display and sell heavy products can cause problems for the retail store owners, customers, and manufacturers of the goods for sale.
  • heavy products that are conventionally sold in blister card package structures include cylindrically shaped standard alkaline batteries that are used by consumers to power digital cameras, flashlights, toys, etc.
  • the weight can exceed three hundred grams.
  • hanger hold tear-through A blister card with a torn hanger hole is shown in Fig. 1.
  • Another cause of the hanger hole tear-through problem is rough handling of the blister card package by consumers.
  • the consumer may inadvertently pull down on the package causing the peg to tear the card above the hangar hole. If the consumer should then decide not to purchase that package, it cannot be rehung on the peg because the card was accidentally torn.
  • the hanger hole tear through problem can occur during shipment of the blister carded product from the manufacturer of the merchandise to the store. This problem is particularly noticeable when a merchandiser containing blister cards is shipped preloaded. In this situation, a merchandiser containing pegs, on which blister card packages have been hung, is shipped from the manufacturer to the retailer. The retailer can then unpack and use the fully loaded merchandiser without needing to hang peggable packages on the pegs. During shipment, which typically takes place via truck, the packages may be frequently jostled or vibrated on the peg for hours or days.
  • the peg works to weaken the card so that the card tears between the hanger hold and the edge of the card thereby allowing the package to fall.
  • the merchandise contained within the package is not damaged, most customers elect not to purchase a package with a torn hanger hole.
  • the torn packages are then returned to the manufacturer where the product must be repackaged before it can be sold. This step needlessly increases the manufacturer's cost.
  • blister card package structures Another problem with using blister card package structures is that the package cannot stand by itself in a vertical position. As shown in Fig. 2, this problem is caused by a lower edge 29 of the card member 23 projecting beyond the cavity 31 that contains the merchandise so that the package tilts when allowed to stand by itself on a horizontal surface. This problem is caused by the extension of the cavity's lower flange 33 that must be secured to the card member in order to seal the merchandise into the cavity. Manufacturers of the product contained in the blister card, as well as retail store personnel, would benefit from a package that is capable of hanging from a peg or standing in a vertical position without the support of a tray or other holder.
  • a piece of tape may be applied to the top of the card member between the hanger hole and the edge of the card.
  • the tape reinforces the card above the hanger hole, thereby strengthening the card so that the tear-through problem is significantly reduced or eliminated.
  • neither the application of tape to the card nor the folding over at the top of the card resolve both the hanger hold tear-through problem and enable the package to stand by itself on a horizontal surface.
  • the present invention solves problems associated with the use of conventional blister card package structures that may be displayed by hanging the package or by standing it on a horizontal surface.
  • the present invention is capable of holding small heavy items without the card tearing above the hanger hole and the same package may be used in a free standing vertical orientation.
  • the present invention is a hangable package structure having a partially enclosed interior region that houses at least one compartment.
  • the structure includes a folded strip shaped base member having a planar surface, a first end that defines a first opening through the base member, and a second end that defines a second opening through the base member.
  • the base member's midsection is located between and separates the first end from the second end.
  • the first opening in the base member aligns with the second opening in the base member to provide an unobstructed path through a partially enclosed interior region which is defined on three sides by the first end, the second end, and the midsection.
  • a first compartment is secured to the planar surface of the base member's first end and is located within the partially enclosed interior region.
  • the present invention is a process for manufacturing a package structure.
  • the process includes the following steps. Providing a strip shaped base member having a planar surface, a first end that defines a first opening through the base member, a second end that defines a second opening through the base member, and a midsection that is located between and separates the first end from the second end. The first end abuts the midsection at a first axis and the second end abuts the midsection at a second axis.
  • the compartment is housed within the partially enclosed region.

  • Fig. 2 is a side view of a conventional peggable package resting on a horizontal surface
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a base member that is useful in a package structure of this invention.

  • Fig. 13 is a cross sectional view of a folded package structure of this invention.
  • Fig. 14 is a side view of a folded package structure of this invention.
  • a base member 20 The base member has a first end 22, a second end 24, and a midsection 26.
  • the first end defines first opening 28 through base member 20.
  • the second end defines second opening 30 through base member 20.
  • First opening 28 and second opening 30 are sometimes referred to as hanger holes.
  • First end 22 abuts midsection 26 at first axis 32.
  • Second end 24 abuts midsection 26 at second axis 34.
  • First axis 32 and second axis 34 are parallel to one another and function as flexible connections.
  • One or both of the axes may be perforated to facilitate separating the base member into two or more sections by tearing the base member at the perforations.
  • Base member 20 is a rectangularly shaped strip of paperboard material.
  • the base member includes a planar surface 36.
  • Indicia such as logos and advertising, may be printed on the side of the base member opposite the planar surface. Abutting one edge of first end 22 is an optional first locking tab 38. Abutting one edge of second end 24 is an optional second locking tab 40.
  • Base member 20 has a longitudinal axis 42.
  • Fig. 4 shows one embodiment of first compartment 50, which includes a first cavity 52 and two anti-bowing ribs 54 and 56. Formed along two sides of first cavity 52 are protrusions 58 and 60. Flange area 62 encircles the perimeter of first compartment 50.
  • Fig. 5 is a side view of first compartment 50.
  • Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a second compartment 70 having a first cavity 72 and a second cavity 74.
  • Second compartment 70 includes anti-bowing ribs 76 and 78. Locking protrusions 80 and 82 are located on cavities 72 and 74, respectively. Flange area 84 defines the perimeter of second compartment 70.
  • Fig. 7 is a side view of second compartment 70. As shown in Figs. 4 and 6, first compartment 50 and second compartment
  • both compartments may be formed as separate components which are individually attached to the base member. However, if desired, both compartments could be formed from a single strip of material so that a portion of the material bridges the midsection of the base member. If both compartments are formed from a single strip, then openings must be created in the strip to align with openings 28 and 30 in base member 20.
  • Fig. 8 A is a side view of first compartment 50 with four articles 90 stored in first cavity 52.
  • Fig. 8B is a side view of a second compartment 70 with a plurality of articles 90 loaded into first cavity 72. Four additional articles are flowing into cavity 74.
  • Fig. 9 shows base member 20 as it is secured over the cavities in first compartment 50 and second compartment 70.
  • the distance between the first compartment and the second compartment is approximately equal to the width of the base member's midsection 26.
  • the base member may be sealed to the compartments using conventional technologies such as an adhesive, tape, the application of heat, or various welding techniques such as the use of ultrasonic energy.
  • Fig. 10 shows a partially folded package, wherein second end 24 has been rotated about axis 34.
  • first end 22 in Fig. 10
  • first end 22 is rotated about axis 32 so that ends 22 and 24 are parallel with one another.
  • the folding process causes cavity 52 to be inserted between cavities 72 and 74.
  • Protrusions 58 and 60 on cavity 52 are forced past protrusions 80 and 82 on cavities 72 and 74.
  • the protrusions prevent the cavities from freely disengaging from one another, thereby requiring the consumer to exert some force on the free ends of the compartments in order to force them apart so that the articles stored therein can be accessed.
  • protrusions 58 and 60 on cavity 52 could be made to engage recesses (not shown) instead of protrusions in cavities 72 and 74.
  • one or more protrusions on the base of a cavity could be made to engage a recess in the surface of the opposing compartment.
  • protrusions and recesses on the ribs and the cavities to create a means for interlocking the cavities formed in one compartment to the ribs formed in the opposing compartment.
  • the present invention may also comprise a base member having more than two ends.
  • a base member in the shape of a cross, rather than a strip, would have four ends that could be folded upon one another to create a rectangularly shaped package.
  • Anti-bowing ribs 54, 56, 76 and 78, shown in Fig. 10 are designed to prevent outward bowing of the package's sides when folded packages, such as the one shown in Fig. 11, are stacked on top of each other in a vertical orientation. For example, during shipment of the folded packages from the manufacturer to the retailer, the packages may be stacked on top of each other in a master shipping container.
  • the anti-bowing ribs are intended to provide sufficient structural support to prevent bowing of the package that would occur if the anti-bowing ribs were not present. To be most effective, the anti-bowing ribs must cross the longitudinal midpoints of the first end 22 and second end 24 of base member 20.
  • the ribs may be formed as an integral part of first compartment 50 or second compartment 70. Alternatively, the ribs could be formed as separate elongated components that are then secured to a compartment.
  • the distance between two ribs, such as ribs 76 and 78 in Fig. 6, should be equal to or slightly greater than the width of base 53 of cavity 52.
  • the distance between ribs 54 and 56 in Fig. 4 should be equal to or slightly greater than the width of base 73 of cavity 72 and the width of base 75 or cavity 74.
  • the distance between two ribs formed on the same compartment creates a slight interference fit with the base of the opposing compartment's cavity thereby enabling the ribs to prevent undesirable side-to-side movement of the cavities when the package is folded as in Fig. 11.
  • the base member's locking tabs 38 and 40 can be secured to one another to create a fourth side which functions as an optional means for locking the folded base strip and compartments into a unitary package.
  • the tabs may be glued to one another.
  • the tabs may be configured so that a portion of tab 38 fits through a slot in tab 40 thereby enabling the first and second ends of the base member to be releasably secured to one another.
  • Fig. 12 Shown in Fig. 12 is a merchandiser having a folded package structure hung from a support means.
  • the folded package structure is hung from an elongated horizontal support member 101, such as a peg, that is secured on its proximate end 106 to a vertical surface 108 such as a wall.
  • the distal end 110 of support member 101 is inserted through the first opening 28 in first end 22, the unobstructed path 102 in the partially enclosed region 104 and then through the second opening 30 in second end 24.
  • the package structure 100 shown in Fig. 12 is a preferred embodiment of the claimed invention.
  • Package 100 can be used to display small heavy objects, such as twelve AA size alkaline batteries, by hanging the package from a peg or by placing the package on a horizontal surface in an upright position.
  • Base member 20 includes four panels, previously identified as first end 22, midsection 26, second end 24, and locking tabs 38 and 40, that cooperate to define a partially enclosed region 104 that houses and protects the merchandise contained in cavities 52, 72 and 74. Because the package is not enclosed on two sides, a consumer can visually inspect the merchandise before purchasing the package. However, the four panels that define the exterior surface of the package provide a substantial barrier to pilferage of some or all of the merchandise when the package is on display in the store. Midsection 26 of base member 20 reinforces the area above hanger hole openings 28 and 30 thereby preventing hanger hole tear through.
  • the base member's axes may be perforated between cavities 52, 72 and 74, thereby allowing individual cavities to be removed from the package without destroying the remaining portion of the package and the unused batteries are kept within the original package until they are needed.
  • perforations 92 as shown in Fig.s 4 and 6, may be positioned around each cavity to facilitate removal of the cavity from the compartment after the package has been purchased and unfolded by the consumer. Perforations 92 need to extend through both base member 20 and the compartment in which the cavity is formed.
  • Protrusions 58 and 60 on cavities 52, 72 and 74 provide a means for releasably securing the cavities to one another thereby enabling the package to resist racking during shipment and/or storage by the consumer.
  • FIG. 13 A cross sectional view of another embodiment of a package of this invention is shown in Fig. 13 wherein a single compartment 94 is secured to base member 20.
  • FIG. 14 A side view of yet another embodiment of a package of this invention is shown in Fig. 14 wherein a single strip 86 of material is used to form both compartments, 96 and 98, as well as a middle portion 88 that abuts midsection 26 of strip 20.
