Definitions

  • This invention relates to a carton which when shipped from the manufacturer to its ultimate destination, is in a folded arrangement such that the box or containment vessel is folded so that it may be entirely embraced within the "lid" of the ultimate package.
  • Such boxes are convenient for use as "gift” boxes.
  • the entire carton will be contained in a transparent or semi-transparent wrap so that the customer may easily determine the size shape and color of the unassembled gift carton through the transparent wrap. Because the carton itself is stored within the confines of the lid, the informed customer may easily determine (from the size of the lid enclosing the folded carton) the dimensions of the unassembled carton, The customer has merely to hold the gift carton (in its folded condition) up to the article which is to be ultimately housed within the gift carton to gauge whether the folded gift carton will have sufficient capacity to contain the article once the folded box is assembled.
  • This patent relates to a collapsible metallic box in which the top and bottom components of the box fold around the side walls of the ballot box.
  • the side walls have an accordion like pleat in the middle to permit the side walls to collapse inwardly so that the front and rear walls may be moved into a juxtaposed relationship with only the side walls (being previously folded) being nested therebetween.
  • the top and bottom components may then he folded about the front and rear wall nested package.
  • the box described herein is metallic in nature and requires metal flanges on some of the wall components in order to deliver its promise of being truly collapsible.
  • This carton requires considerable manual dexterity to assemble it, and in addition, requires adhesive strips to successfully assemble the box. A strip of adhesive tape is applied across the top of the box, provides additional security for the box.
  • This box which is paperboard and has a folding capability, has no capability to be ornamented, has no separate lid and lacks the user friendliness of applicant's container wherein the ultimate size of the container is revealed by the lid.
  • This container is simple in construction and is relatively easy to assemble, but requires a preglued panel to provide a handle and the enclosure requires tags to engage slots in order to lock the device together, Sealing tape is used to secure the assembled container.
  • This Application discloses a child-resistant cardboard container in which the lid telescopically fits over the base of the container.
  • the container also comprises internal flaps which prevent the lid from being removed from the base of the container unless pressure is applied to the sides of the container.
  • EP 0512291 European Patent Application No. 92106578
  • This Application discloses a collapsible cardboard box.
  • the box may be collapsed so that it occupies a minimum height, and the minimum height corresponds to the height of a rim of a box lid. Therefore, when it is collapsed, the box may fit entirely within the box lid.
  • This Patent discloses a gift wrapping and packaging combination which comprises a stiff backing member, a collapsible gift box, interior wrapping paper, exterior decorative wrapping paper, a greeting card and trimming material.
  • the items are wrapped together using a transparent sheeting material such that the stiff backing member provides support for the remaining items.
  • This invention thus relates to a method of packaging a folded container entirely within its lid so that the consumer can immediately see the carton, lid, ribbon, bow, gift tags and other wrapping paraphernalia which are displayed within the carton lid in a plastic shrink-wrap.
  • the lid and the contained box assembly are shipped from the manufacturer to a retail purveyor in the compact "knocked-down" condition. Because of this method of packaging and storing, the entire folded carton within the rigid lid, the customer may easily ascertain the length, width and height of the assembled carton without having to open the shrink-wrap covering. The customer only has to hold the package of the lid containing the folded carton up to the intended gift to determine whether the gift will fit into the assembled carton.
  • a gift carton and separate rigid lid having the features of Claim 1.
  • panels forming the four sides of the assembled box have attached thereto four bottom panels which when assembled interlock to form a bottom for said carton.
  • said four bottom panels form a snap lock or Houghland bottom for said carton.
  • said blank and ribbon, gift tags and other wrapping paraphernalia are contained within said lid and are enclosed within a transparent wrap.
  • said blank and ribbon, gift tags and other wrapping paraphernalia are contained within said lid and are enclosed within a closely fitting bag of a translucent plastic material.
  • the carton of the invention described in this application is well known in the packaging industry as the Houghland or snap lock bottom carton. It is frequently known as the 1-2-3 closure because of the swift and speedy manner in which the bottom panels may be erected.
  • the other outstanding feature of this closure is that once the bottom of the carton has been assembled, the carton and bottom are quite stable and not subject to collapse.
  • FIG. 1 a blank 10 is shown having four panels 12, 14, 16, 18 (which become the sidewalls of the container 10) separated by score lines 20, 22, 24, 26. Score line 26 separates glue flap 28 from panel 18.
  • a second score line 30 is provided between panels 12, 14, 16, 18 and end panel components 32, 34, 36 and 38 respectively.
  • the end panel components 32 and 36 are bent inwardly of the sides 12 and 16 before or after glue flap 28 is glued to side 12.
  • End flaps 34 and 38 are bent outwardly of panels 14 and 18 so as to overlie the exterior surface of panels 14 and 18 as shown in Figure 2.
  • Flap 28 is next glued to the side 12. With the glue flap 28 secured to side 12 and the end panels 32 and 36 tucked inside the carton and end panels 34 and 36 folded over the outside of panels 14 and 18, the folded blank 10 takes on the appearance of a flat folded structure of Figure 3. The box may be folded again at scorelines 20 and 22 to produce the folded hox as shown in Figure 4.
  • Lid 40 is a rigid lid having shallow sides 42, 44, 46 and 48 to embrace and overlap box 10 when assembled.
  • the box 10 and lid 14 require only as much space as the lid represents; in this condition the box and lid present a very compact unit for shipping and storage.
  • a ribbon 52 and any other decorative paraphernalia such as gift tag 50 may be included in the box lid under the protection of a shrink-wrap.
  • the ribbon 52 shown in Figure 8 is preglued at 54 to provide a complete seal for box 10.
  • the ribbon 52 shown in Figure 9 is sccurely fastened to the box 10 by means of preglued portion 54 to hold the lid closed and to secure the gift tag 50 in its proper place.
  • the gift box described above may be conveniently stored and assembled in a jiffy. It may be attractively appointed and used for a variety of occasions.
  • the enclosing wrap which secures the unassembled carton within the carton lid is a transparent shrink wrap or plastic bag which surrounds the lid and unassembled carton. It is envisioned that plastic or nylon enclosures may perform equally well.
  • the material comprising the box may be Kraft board, wood, plastic sheeting or sheet metal, such as aluminum or steel.
