Definitions
- This invention relates to containers, and more particularly to large bulk bins for shipping and storing product in bulk quantities.
- bins constructed of corrugated paperboard. These bins typically have either four, six or eight sides and since they are designed to hold 2,000 pounds or more of product they are constructed of heavy-duty materials. They are usually shipped and stored in a flattened condition and manually set up into an expanded position at the point of use.
- the sidewalls in a four-sided bin are relatively wide and can experience substantial outward bulge, resulting in pallet overhang and interfering with storage and handling of the bins.
- eight-sided bulk bins of the type disclosed in US patent 6,588,651, for example, are commonly used. Because of the narrower sidewalls in an eight-sided bin, less outward bulge is experienced. However, manual set up of an eight-sided bulk bin can be relatively difficult because of the more complex bottom flap construction.
- Six-sided bins offer some of the advantages of both four-sided bins and eight-sided bins, in that they experience less sidewall bulge than a four-sided bin and are easier to set up than an eight-sided bin.
- the bin of the invention comprises opposed sidewalls each having a top edge, opposite side edges and a bottom edge, and end walls connected to respective opposite side edges of the sidewalls, said end walls each having a top edge, a bottom edge, and opposite side edges.
- a major bottom flap is foldably connected to the bottom edge of each of the sidewalls, and each major bottom flap has opposite side edges.
- a minor bottom flap is foldably connected to the bottom edge of each said end wall, and said minor bottom flaps each have opposite first and second side edges.
- Connecting webs interconnect said major and minor bottom flaps, including a connecting web foldably connected between each side edge of each major bottom flap and a respective first side edge of an adjacent minor bottom flap, so that when the sidewalls and end walls are moved from a flattened condition of said bin to an open expanded position, the major and minor bottom flaps automatically fold inwardly toward one another to close the bottom of the bin.
- the bin has six sides, comprising two opposed parallel sidewalls and two opposed pairs of diagonally oriented end walls.
- a major bottom flap is foldably connected to the bottom edge of each of said opposed sidewalls, and a minor bottom flap is foldably connected to the bottom edge of each of said end walls.
- Generally triangularly shaped connecting webs are foldably connected between the side edges of the major bottom flaps and the respective adjacent side edges of adjacent minor bottom flaps, and generally triangularly shaped glue flaps are connected between the adjacent side edges of adjacent minor bottom flaps.
- the major and minor bottom flaps and connecting webs extend outwardly of the bin. To erect the bin, it is placed upright on the flaps and the sidewalls are expanded or opened up to a tubular, generally hexagonal configuration. This movement of the side and end walls causes the major and bottom flaps to fold inwardly, closing the bottom of the bin.
- the bin also has six sides, comprising two opposed parallel sidewalls and two opposed pairs of diagonally oriented end walls.
- a major bottom flap is foldably connected to the bottom edge of each of the opposed sidewalls
- a minor bottom flap is foldably connected to the bottom edge of each of the end walls.
- Generally triangularly shaped connecting webs are foldably connected between the side edges of the major bottom flaps and the respective adjacent side edges of adjacent minor bottom flaps, and between the adjacent side edges of adjacent minor bottom flaps.
- the major and minor bottom flaps and connecting webs extend outwardly of the bin. To erect the bin, it is placed upright on the flaps and the sidewalls are expanded or opened up to a tubular, generally hexagonal configuration. This movement of the side and end walls causes the major and bottom flaps to fold inwardly, closing the bottom of the bin.

- Figure 14 is a plan view of a blank for making a second embodiment of the bin of the invention, wherein elliptical creases are formed in the sidewalls for producing controlled and predictable bulge, reinforcing tape is provided in the sidewalls, and the connecting webs between the major and minor bottom flaps are crushed to minimize their tendency to return to their unfolded positions.
- Figure 15 is a plan view of a blank for making a third embodiment of the bin, similar to the embodiment shown in figure 3, but the orientation of the cuts separating the glue flaps from the adjacent minor flaps is opposite that shown in figure 3..
- Figure 16 is a plan view of a blank for making a fourth embodiment of the bin, wherein the blank has some features of the embodiment in figure 14, i.e., elliptical creases in the sidewalls, reinforcing tape, and crushed connecting webs, and some features from the embodiment of figure 15, i.e., the orientation of cuts separating the minor flaps from each other.
- Figure 17 is a top plan view of a blank for making a fifth embodiment of the invention, wherein the major bottom flaps overlap in the erected bin, and all of the bottom flaps are interconnected by connecting webs, rather than some of them being separated by a cut or slit as in the previous embodiments.
- Figure 18 is a top plan view of a blank for making a sixth embodiment of the invention, essentially the same as the embodiment shown in figure 17, except that the bottom flaps do not overlap in a bin erected from the blank.
- Figure 19 is a greatly enlarged fragmentary plan view of a blank for making a bin according to the invention, showing a portion of the sidewalls and flaps and illustrating a detail of the cuts and crushed areas that resist initiation of tearing of the vertical scores between the sidewalls.
- Figures 20A-20G depict steps that may be followed in setting up the bin of figures 17-19.
- the bulk bin of the invention is indicated generally at 10, and comprises opposed parallel sidewalls 11 and 12, and two opposed pairs of angularly oriented end walls 13, 14 and 15, 16 connected between respective opposite side edges of the sidewalls, defining a six-sided container having a generally hexagonal shape in transverse cross-section and adapted to fit on a 48 X 40 inch pallet 17.
- Major bottom flaps 18 and 19 are foldably connected to the bottom edges of respective opposite sidewalls, and minor bottom flaps 20, 21, 22 and 23 are foldably connected to the bottom edges of respective end walls.
- triangularly shaped connecting webs 25, 26, 27 and 28 are foldably connected between the side edges of the major bottom flaps 18 and 19 and the respective adjacent side edges of adjacent minor bottom flaps 20, 22 and 21, 23, respectively.
- triangularly shaped glue flaps 29 and 30 are foldably connected to a side edge of respective minor flaps 22 and 20.
- partial end wall panels 16A and 16B are at opposite ends of the blank, with partial minor bottoms flap 23A and 23B foldably joined to the respective bottom edges thereof.
- the glue flap 29 is separated at one of its edges from partial minor bottom flap 23B by a cut 31, and is integrally foldably connected at its opposite edge with minor bottom flap 22.
- Glue flap 30 is similarly separated from minor bottom flap 21 by cut 32 and is integrally foldably connected with minor bottom flap 20.
- Folding scores or creases 33 are made in the fold lines at opposite sides of the connecting webs and at the folded connection of the glue flaps to facilitate folding of the bottom flaps as the bin is being erected. Folding action can be enhanced by making cuts or perforations 33' along a part of the length of the creases.
- Figures 4-9 depict the steps followed in completing the manufacturer's glue joint in a bin made from the blank shown in figure 3.
- Figure 4 shows the blank laid out flat before any folding operations are performed.
- the angled glue flaps 29 and 30 are shown folded upwardly approximately 60° from the plane of the blank.
- Glue 34 is then applied to the adjacent minor bottom flaps 21 and 23B, as depicted in figures 5 and 5 A, followed by upward folding of the blank about a fold line 35 located generally centrally of the length of the blank, between the end walls 13 and 14, defining two substantially identical panel sections or halves A and B, each including a sidewall 11 or 12, adjacent end walls 13, 15 or 14, 16, and associated bottom flaps.
- Partial minor bottom flap 23B is also folded upwardly, as depicted in figure 6.
- minor bottom flap 21 and glue flap 30, and of partial minor bottom flap 23B and minor glue flap 29, between which the respective cut lines 32 and 31 extend are respectively cut away at 36.
- the assembled blank may then be placed in stacked compression, and shipped to a point of use.
- the flattened bin is stood on its bottom edge on a pallet and pressure exerted on the sidewalls to expand the side and end walls away from one another into a generally hexagonally shaped tubular configuration, as depicted in figures 11 and 12.
- the major and minor bottom flaps automatically move into inwardly folding closing relationship over the bottom of the bin.
- the major bottom flaps are dimensioned so that they overlap slightly at their adjacent inner edges when the bin is fully erected. It should be understood, however, that these edges do not need to overlap and can be abutting or even spaced from one another. Alternate embodiments discussed hereinafter do not have overlapping bottom flaps. In this embodiment, these overlapped edges in conjunction with the particular interconnected relationship of the bottom flaps results in an over- center-like snap action of the flaps, tending to retain them in their operative inwardly folded relationship .
- a second embodiment of the bin is indicated generally at 40 in figure 14.
- This embodiment has essentially the same inventive features as the figure 3 embodiment, and like parts are indicated by like reference characters.
- elliptically shaped creases 41 are formed in the side and end walls, reinforcing tape 42 is placed at predetermined spaced locations in the side and end walls, and the connecting webs
- a third embodiment of the bin is indicated generally at 50 in figure 15.
- This embodiment is substantially the same as the embodiment shown in figure 3, and like parts are indicated by like reference characters.
- the only difference between this embodiment and the figure 3 embodiment is that the cuts 31' and 32' separating the glue flaps 29' and 30' from respective adjacent minor bottom flaps are oriented oppositely and are on the opposite sides of the glue flaps from the arrangement shown in figure 3, whereby the glue flaps are separated from minor bottom flaps 20' and 22' rather than from flaps 21 and 23B as shown in the figure 3 embodiment.
- Figure 16 depicts a fourth embodiment 60 that has some features of the embodiment in figure 14, i.e., elliptical creases 41 and reinforcing tape 42 in the sidewalls, and crushed connecting webs 43, and some features from the embodiment of figure 15, i.e., the orientation of cuts 31' and 32' separating minor flap 22 from adjacent partial bottom flap 23B, and minor flap 20 from adjacent minor bottom flap 21, respectively.
- This embodiment otherwise is constructed and functions the same as the previous embodiment.
- Figure 17 depicts a fifth embodiment 70 wherein those parts corresponding to like parts in the earlier embodiments are indicated by like reference characters.
- the cuts 31 and 32 and associated cut away corners 36, and the glue flaps 29 and 30, are all omitted, so that not only are the major bottom flaps and adjacent minor bottom flaps interconnected by the connecting webs 43 as in the previous embodiments, but the glue flaps are replaced by connecting webs 44 that respectively interconnect adjacent minor bottom flaps 20" and 21, and adjacent minor bottom flap 22" and partial minor bottom flap 23B', whereby all the bottom flaps are continuously interconnected by webs.
- elliptical creases 41 are formed in only the two opposed sidewalls 11 and 12. In the latter regard, the elliptical creases may be included in only the two sidewalls as shown, or in all the sidewalls and end walls, or in none of them.
- reinforcing tape 42 may be provided, or excluded, as desired or necessary.
- major bottom flap 18 is cut away at its opposite corners as indicated at 45, defining a tab or protruding edge 46 as in the previous embodiments, whereby when the bottom flaps are folded inwardly to close the bottom of the bin, the tab overlaps with the edge 47 of opposite major bottom flap 19'.
- a sixth embodiment 80 is illustrated in figure 18. This embodiment differs from the embodiment of figure 17 in that the corners of the major bottom flap 18' are not cut away as at 36 in the figure 17 embodiment, whereby both flaps 18' and 19' terminate at their free end in a straight edge 47, and the major bottom flaps 18' and 19' do not overlap when they are in their inwardly folded operative positions.
- the various embodiments of the bin illustrated and described herein can have semi-circular crushed areas 90 at the juncture of the vertical fold line 91 between adjacent sidewalls and end walls, the fold line 92 between the major and minor bottom flaps and their associated sidewall or end wall, and the fold line 33 between adjacent flaps. Additionally, the end of the diagonal cut 33' extending to this juncture can be given an inverted J shape as indicated at 93. The crushed areas and/or the J shaped termination of the cuts 33' resist initiation of tearing of the vertical scores 92.
- FIG. 20A-20G A procedure for setting up a bin made from the blanks of figures 17-19 is illustrated in figures 20A-20G.
- Figure 2OA shows the bin 70 in its flattened condition, as manufactured, lying flat on a supporting surface.
- a person setting up the bin lifts the top end of the flattened bin, pivoting it about the bottom edges of the flaps, which remain in contact with the supporting surface. Downward pressure is then exerted against the bin, breaking the crease or fold between the sidewalls and the bottom flaps, as shown in figure 2OB, and preferably by then bending the flaps in the opposite direction, as shown in figure 2OC.
- the sidewalls are then opened up into a tubular shape, as shown in figure 2OD, and by rocking the bin back and forth as shown in figure 2OE the major bottom flaps, which are longer than the minor flaps, begin to fold inwardly.
- the minor bottom flaps are then kicked inwardly, as shown in figure 20F, and the bin settles down on the flaps, which are all folded inwardly to their operative positions, as shown in figure 2OG. This entire process can be accomplished with the bin resting on a pallet, whereby the bin is now ready for use without requiring any further steps.
