  • the invention is principally described herein with respect to an exemplary design intended for use with footwear such as athletic shoes.
  • the invention as defined in the appended claims is not limited to a container for shoes, and those of ordinary skill in the art will instead recognize that the invention applies to containers for any kind of goods.
  • relative directional terms such as upward and downward are made with reference to the container as it would rest with its base on a ground plane.
  • Directional terms such as inward and outward are made with reference to the container.
  • “inward” refers to the direction toward the geometric center of the container
  • outward refers to the direction away from the center of the container.
  • container 10 is formed in two body halves, namely a base 12 and an attached lid 14.
  • base 12 is formed of corrugated liner board — i.e., sometimes referred to as cardboard — and lid 14 is formed of a clear plastic sheet thermoformed into the desired configuration and dimensions.
  • the base 12 may just as well be formed of other materials, including for example corrugated plastic material and other plastics, fiberboard of various types, etc.
  • the lid 14 may be fabricated from a variety of kinds of plastics. Ideally, both the base 12 and lid 14 are manufactured from as much recycled materials as practical.
  • the term "fiberboard" refers to corrugated liner board and non- corrugated paper board.
  • Coatings may be applied over the printed corrugated material in order to minimize ink transfer, scuffing, and ink bleeding, etc.
  • the coatings may be a plastic laminate such as a polypropylene sheet, which is applied to the corrugated after the sheet has been printed.
  • the coating may be an aqueous coating material that is applied as a liquid over the sheet with a printer roller inline when the sheet is being printed.
  • a joint 16 extends diagonally across the lateral end panels (20 and 22) of the container between the base and the lid when container 10 is closed. More specifically, with reference to Fig. 2, the joint 16 between base 12 and lid 14 extends in a diagonal direction extending generally from the hinge 18 at the upper edge of rear wall 27 of base 12, across the lateral side walls (one of which is illustrated in Fig. 2 and is given reference number 20) and to the front wall 25 of base 12. It will be understood that since the ends of the container are bisected by the diagonal joint 16, the lateral end walls 22 and 24 comprise a portion of both the base 12 and lid 14.
  • the hinge 18 lies entirely within and interiorly of the intersection of the planes defined by the rear wall 27 of base 12 and the upper panel 28 of lid 12. Hence, the rear panel, top panel and base panel are entirely planar with no obstructions extending beyond the planar sections. This allows the container 10 to be stacked stably on any of those three panels.
  • lid 14 is attached to base 12 with a series of three tabs 26 that interconnect with cooperatively formed openings in the rear wall 27 of base 12.
  • the structure and operation of these features will be detailed below. First, however, the lid and the base are detailed.
  • lid 14 comprises a monolithic thermoformed clear member formed in a single sheet according to thermoforming technologies.
  • the lid includes a top panel 28 and a front panel 30 and a pair of opposed, generally triangularly shaped side panels 33.
  • the side panels 33 slope from a rear edge 40 of the lid to a lower edge portion of the front panel 30.
  • An angular panel 32 may optionally be formed between top panel 28 and front panel 30.
  • a closure flap 34 extends laterally across the lower edge 36 of front panel 30 and includes two closure tabs 38 that project outwardly, toward the front of the container.
  • the outer, exposed surface of the closure tabs 38 is angled outwardly to define a ramp surface, which allows the closure flap 34 and closure tabs 38 to be slid easily into engagement with the base.
  • the three tabs 26 are integrally formed with the lid 14 and are attached at regular spacing intervals along the rearward edge 40 of lid 14 and depend downwardly from the rear edge.
  • Each of the three tabs 26 is identical in construction and in combination, the three tabs serve to attach the lid to the base and to define a hinge that allows the lid to be easily opened and closed to open and close the container. It will be readily appreciated that while three tabs 26 are shown in the drawings and described herein, there may be a greater or lesser number of tabs depending upon the size of the particular container.
  • Each tab 26 is defined by a downwardly extending main panel 42.
  • main panel 42 In the central portion of main panel 42 is an inwardly projecting boss 44 that is generally rectangular in shape with rounded corners.
  • the joints where the tabs 26 are attached to the rear edge 40 of lid 14 is defined by a generally C-shaped section 46 that defines a living hinge 48. Because the plastic material used to fabricate lid 14 is resilient, the C-shaped section 46 that defines living hinge 48 allows the hinges to be "cycled" many times. In other words, when the container 10 is assembled the lid may be opened and closed many times without damaging the living hinge.
  • in-drafts 50 are formed near the outer lateral edges of lid 14 along the upper rear edge thereof to strengthen the lid.
  • the diagonal edges of the lid that extend between the rear edge 40 and the lower front edge 36 are defined by inverted U-shaped channels 52, the function of which are detailed below.
  • base 12 is preferably although not necessarily fabricated from corrugated with a high percentage of recycled fiber.
  • the base 12 is made from a blank 60 that is cut and folded to form the base.
  • fold lines are shown in dashed lines and cut lines are shown in solid lines.
  • a double fold line is shown in a double dashed line.
  • the centermost panel or base panel 62 of blank 60 in Fig. 4 defines the base of the container 10.
  • a first rear panel 64 is attached to base panel 62 at a fold line 66 and two elongate openings 68 are formed along the length of the fold line 66.
  • a second rear panel 70 is attached to first rear panel 64 at a double fold line 72.
  • Three elongate openings 74 are formed along the length of fold line 72 and three rectangular openings 76 are formed generally in the central portion of second rear panel 70 aligned with the elongate openings. As detailed below, the positions of three elongate openings 74 and three rectangular openings 76 correspond to the locations of the three tabs 26 on lid 14 and cooperate with the tabs to attach the lid 14 to base 12.
  • a pair of elongate tabs 78 is formed on the outer edge 80 of second rear panel 70.
  • a first front panel 82 is attached to base panel 62 at a fold line 84 and a pair of elongate openings 86 is formed along fold line 84.
  • a second front panel 88 is attached to first front panel 82 at a double fold line 90.
  • Second front panel 88 includes two openings 89.
  • a third panel 92 is attached to the second front panel 88 at a fold line 94.
  • Fold line 94 includes two cut portions 96 that define tabs, as detailed below.
  • Each of the three outer, peripheral edges of third panel 92, labeled 98, 100 and 102 includes a pair of indented cut out portions labeled 98a, 98b, 100a, 100b, and 102a, 102b, respectively.
  • a first side panel 104 is attached to base panel 62 at a fold line 106 and a pair of elongate openings 108 is formed along the fold line.
  • a second side panel 110 is attached to first side panel 104 at an angularly extending double fold line 112.
  • the outer edge 114 of second side panel 110 includes a pair of tabs 116.
  • the rearward edge 118 of first side panel 104 is separated from a first rear flap panel 120 at a cut line 122.
  • First rear flap panel 120 is attached to first rear panel 64 at a fold line 124.
  • a first side panel 126 is attached to the opposite lateral edge of base panel 62 at a fold line 128 and a pair of elongate openings 130 is formed along the fold line 128.
  • a second side panel 132 is attached to first side panel 126 at an angularly extending double fold line 134.
  • the outer edge 136 of second side panel 132 includes a pair of tabs 138.
  • the rearward edge 140 of second side panel 126 is separated from a second rear flap panel 142 at a cut line 144.
  • Second rear flap panel 142 is attached to first rear panel 64 at a fold line 146.
  • a pair of circular openings 148 and 150 is formed in first side panel 126 and second side panel 132, respectively.
  • a first front flap 154 is attached at a fold line 156 to first side panel 104. First front flap 154 is separated from first front panel 82 at a cut line 158. Likewise, on the opposite lateral side of blank 60, a second front flap 160 is attached at a fold line 162 to first side panel 126. Second front flap 160 is separated from first front panel 82 at a cut line 162.
  • First and second rear flap panels 120 and 142 are mirror images of each other.
  • the outer peripheral edges of the panels define a first cut out section 170 and a second cut out section 172.
  • Panels 110 and 132 are folded at double fold lines 112 and 134, respectively, over the respective adjacent panels 104 and 124. This is shown with arrows A in Fig. 5. Tabs 116 on edge 114 of panel 110 are inserted into openings 108 at the fold line 106, and tabs 138 are inserted into openings 130 along fold line 128. Opening 150 on panel 132 and opening 148 on panel 126 align to define a through opening 101 into the base 12 of container 10. Opening 101 defines a grab- point so that a single container 10 may be withdrawn from a stack of containers.
  • Front flaps 154 and 160 are then folded at fold lines 156 and 162, respectively, in the direction shown by arrows B so that the flaps align with fold line 84.
  • Third panel 94 is next folded inwardly such that the panel covers base panel 62, as illustrated with arrow C. As this is done, first front panel 82 folds at fold line 84 and second front panel 88 folds at double fold line 90 to form the front wall 25 of the base; tabs 96 are engaged in openings 86 to secure front wall 25 remains in an upright position and front flaps 154 and 160 are captured between the first and second front panels.
  • Third panel 94 is held in place on base panel 62 by virtue of the various tabs and cut outs around the periphery of the panel, such as cut outs 98a, 98b, which are engaged by tabs 116, and cut outs 102a and 102b, which are engaged by tabs 138.
  • Tabs 96 likewise engage elongate openings 86 to secure front wall 25.
  • rear flap panels 120 and 142 are folded at fold lines 124 and 146, respectively so that the edges defined by cut lines 122 and 144 align with fold line 66. When this is done, cut outs 170 and 172 align to form notches on the forming rear panel of the base.
  • First rear panel 64 is folded upwardly at fold line 66 and second rear panel is folded inwardly and over rear flap panels 120 and 142 in the direction of arrow D to form the rear wall 27 of the base 12.
  • Tabs 78 are inserted in openings 68 and cut outs 100a and 100b to secure the rear panel and the bottom panel. Rectangular openings 76 are at this point located in an overlying position relative to the notches defined by cut outs 170 and 172.
  • base 12 When assembled in this manner, base 12 is a strong and secure container base 12 as shown in Fig. 3. Given the structure of the blank 60, each wall or panel of base 12 is a double layer of corrugated material. Given the various tabs and cut outs described above, the base is very secure, although it may be disassembled if necessary.
  • the hinge 48 is shown in detail. In Fig. 6 the relative open and closed positions of lid 14 are shown in sold and dashed lines, with the arrow A illustrating the relative positions of the lid. As may be seen in Fig. 7, which illustrates the lid in the closed position, the C- shaped section 46 of hinge 18 is slightly compressed when the lid is closed. Since the plastic material is resilient, this compression does not damage the hinge and the lid may be opened and closed repeatedly.
  • the base may be fabricated in many different structural configurations without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the third panel 92 of the base is described above as a "roll-over" panel that completely covers the base panel 62 in the assembled base.
  • Base panel 92 may of a different size, and may even be omitted.
  • the angled side panels are defined by folded-over double-layer panels (i.e., first side panel 104 and second side panel 110). The second side panel may be omitted.
  • lid 14 With returning reference to Fig. 3, attachment of lid 14 to base 12 will be described.
  • the rear wall 27 of base 12 is defined by panels 64 and 70, with flaps 120 and 142 captured therebetween. Because the flaps 120 and 142 are captured between the panels 64 and 70, the notches 170 and 172 defined in flaps 120 and 142 are aligned with rectangular openings 76. Elongate openings 74 in double fold line 72 are also aligned with notches 170 and 172 and with rectangular openings 76.
  • tabs 26 are inserted into and through elongate openings 74.
  • the elongate openings 74 are narrower in width than bosses 44 and the rectangular openings 76 are cooperatively shaped with bosses 44 and designed to accept the bosses. Because base 12 is corrugated fiberboard, the openings 74 may be expanded to allow insertion of bosses 44 through the openings. As the lid 14 is pressed downwardly toward base 12, bosses 44 pop into rectangular openings 76 and the elongate openings 74 close to their original positions, thereby capturing the bosses 44 in openings 76. Once the bosses are captured in the rectangular openings 76, the lid is firmly attached to the base and cannot easily be removed. The lowermost arm of the C-shaped section 46 of hinge 48 rests on the upper edge 103 of rear wall 27 (Fig. 2).
  • the inverted U-shaped channels 52 that extend along diagonal joints 16 are in a position to nest over the upper edges 105 of side walls 20 and 22.
  • the width of the U-shaped channels is sized to be roughly the same as or slightly narrower than the width of the side walls. As such, when the U-shaped channels are slid onto the upper edges of the side walls, the channels slip over the upper edges and thus-engage the upper edges of the side walls. This results in the lid being secured snugly to the base.
  • the inverted U-shaped channels 52 thus assist in locating the base and lid with respect to one another when closed together, and assist in retaining the lid and base in the closed position.
  • the U-shaped channels thus prevent relative movement between the base and the lid and stabilize the container in the lateral direction. Stated another way, when the U-shaped channels are engaged over the upper edges of the side walls, the lid may not be moved from side to side relative to the base. This gives the assembled container significant lateral strength.
  • closure flap 34 is slid behind (i.e., inwardly of) panel 82 of front wall 25. This is best illustrated in Fig. 2. Because the lower surface of the closure tabs 38 is sloped upwardly, the closure tabs slide easily down the interior surface of the front wall 25 until the closure tabs snap into openings 89 in panel 82. At the point where the closure tabs snap into openings 89, the lower edge 35 of closure flap 34 abuts the panel 92. Because the upper surface of the closure tabs is horizontal, the tabs are retained in the openings 89 and prevent the lid from opening.
  • the lid is easily opened by pushing the front panel 30 inwardly to disengage the closure tabs from the openings, thereby allowing the lid to be opened. Since the lid 14 is plastic and fairly resilient, the front panel 30 is easily pushed inwardly in this manner. Because the lower edge 35 of closure flap 34 rests on panel 92 when the lid is closed, the lid has substantial compression strength and will not crush even when the container is in a stack with many other containers or other materials on top of it.
  • the interior of container 10 defines an article-holding space 110 that is configured to hold articles such as a pair of shoes without regard to any particular orientation of the shoes relative to one another.
  • the shoes in the pair may thus be oriented in a toe-to-heel orientation, or any other orientation to display the shoes to consumers.
  • Lid 14 of container 10 is preferably fabricated from a clear material so that goods held within the container are plainly visible through the container panels.
  • the word "clear” refers to any transparent or translucent material used to fabricate the container and through which the interior of the container may be seen. Many materials may be used to fabricate the container. These include numerous grades of PET (polyethylene terephthalate), high density polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), and vinyls such as various grades of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Those or ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the material selected will depend upon the structural and cosmetic requirements of the particular package.
  • the polymers used to manufacture lid 14 may include modifier compounds such as softeners, impact modifiers and the like, depending upon the application. In a preferred embodiment the material selected for manufacturing the container will include a high percentage of recycled material.
  • the material used to form lid 14 may be clear, colored, or and any combination of coloring may be used. Moreover, portions of the container may be opaque so long as at least some of the container is clear to display the contents.
  • the lid of the present invention is preferably formed using a thermoforming processes whereby a blank of material is heated and pulled into a tool or mold and shaped, for instance with a vacuum, to form the lid.
  • container 10 preferably the package is sized such that one container will fit several different sizes of shoes.
  • a blank container 10 may be designed to hold a specific style of shoes (such as athletic shoes) in the size range of men's sizes 7 to 9 (in the traditional U.S.
  • the container 10 described above provides the advantage of allowing the consumer to view the contents of the container, and it is close enough in size to standard shoe boxes that it may be used without modification to the existing shoe distribution, warehousing and sale infrastructure.
  • the blank 60 lies flat prior to assembly and may thus be shipped in large quantities with relatively little shipping space required.
  • the walls of the lid 14 are angled slightly so that the lids may be nested with other lid for ease of shipping and to minimize the space required for shipping many empty containers. It will be appreciated that with this configuration many lids may be shipped to a manufacturing facility in a minimal amount of space
  • the base of the container could be made with horizontal side edges as are found on typical shoe boxes, thus eliminating the angled side edges described above.
  • the lid of this container would be attached to the base in the same manner described above, and the lid would have the same closure mechanisms and U- shaped channels along the side edges.
  • the container could be formed with a handle, and the article-receiving space inside of the container may be designed to conform more uniquely to a specific article.
  • the container is roughly equivalent in size and shape to a standard shoebox for holding a pair of shoes of similar size. In this way the container of the present invention is accommodated easily into existing footwear manufacturing, distribution and sales infrastructure.
