Definitions
- the present invention relates to a carrier of cardboard, preferably corrugated cardboard, for connecting a plurality of generally cylindrical cans being disposed in at least two rows and having an inclined upper part and a top closure with a projecting circular rim.
- the carrier is pro- symbolized from a plane blank, having, for each can connected by the carrier, two mutually opposing, essentially arcuate slits, the outer edges of which engage below the rim of the cans when the carrier is assembled on the plurality of cans to connect the carrier and the cans and form a package assembly.
- the invention also relates to a plane blank of cardboard for a carrier for cans and a method to assemble a plane blank of cardbord.
- Cylindrical cans are used in the beverage industries for drinks, such as for instance mineral water, bear and soft drinks.
- package assemblies are provided, which may comprise from two up to ten cans.
- package assembly means provided for enabling a plurality of cans to be lifted and handled by, for example, a consumer.
- Plastic materials are used as package assembly means, e.g. in the form of a plastic film wrap extending around the packaged cans or in the form of mutually connected plastic rings which are applied around the cans.
- These package assembly means are costly and cause environmental problems.
- a carrier of cardboard is known, which are adapted to be applied against the upper side of the group of containers and to be connected to the containers.
- a carrier of this type is described, for example, in US-A-3, 094, 210.
- the carrier is produced from a plane card- board blank having two opposing U-shaped slits for each container to be connected by the carrier.
- the plane blank is assembled on the group of containers by folding side flanges downwardly towards the sides of the container, such that outer edges of the slits in the carrier engage below the shoulder of the containers.
- an additional corresponding carrier must be applied on the bottom part of the containers.
- the carrier as described above is disadvantageous in that it can be used for a single row of containers only and is costly due to material costs and a more complicated assembly of a two-piece carrier.
- a further disadvantage is that the side flanges of the carrier projecting downwardly along the sides of the containers, may easily get caught by an adjacent package assembly or some other element, such that the flanges are forced upwardly and the edges of the slits are disengaged from the shoulder of the container.
- a similar carrier for cans is disclosed in EP-B-0496807.
- the carrier comprises two opposing arcuate slits for each can and short incisions extending radially from said slits.
- Grasping flaps are provided on each side of the carrier adapted to be folded when the carrier with the cans is grasped and lifted by the user.
- the carrier as disclosed has proven insufficient to securely engage the carrier on the cans, especially when lifting forces are applied in the gripping recesses in the sides of the carrier.
- the carrier has a centrally arranged folding line, which serves as a "hinge " when the lifting forces are applied in the gripping recesses in the opposing sides of the carrier, such that the cans are separated and tend to disengage from the carrier.
- the side flaps are forced by the lifting forces in an upward direction, thus further increasing the risk for disengagement of the carrier from the cans.
- the object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing a carrier, for a plurality of cans disposed in at least two rows, which may be securely fitted to the cans in order to connect, lock and support the cans and provide a package assembly which may be lifted and handled without risking disengagement, and which is material-effective and may be readily and effectively applied to and assembled on a plurality of cans.
- gripping recesses are disposed between the rows of cans and a bowl-shaped indentation is formed in the carrier between the gripping recesses and the rows of cans.
- the plane blank has a central portion intended to be accommodated bet- ween the rows of cans in the assembled state, which portion is slightly wider than the actual spacing between the cans, such that indentations are formed between the rows of cans when the carrier is assembled on the cans.
- the assembled carrier according to the invention is stiffened by the centrally disposed bowl-shaped indentations, such that the cans are steadily supported in the carrier.
- the lifting forces, applied in the gripping recesses between the rows of cans, are distributed in the direction of the engagement tongues in the inner slits, such that the abutting pressure on and below the rim of the can is increased.
- the engage- ment tongues in the outer slits abutting the rim of the can are forced towards the centre of the package assembly, thus increasing the pressure of the engagement tongues in the outer slits on the rim of the can and tightening the connection of the carrier to the cans.
- opposing arcuate slits for each can to be connected by the carrier comprise an arcuate intermediate section between two arcuate end sections.
- the intermediate section is formed radially inside the arcuate end sections of the slit, such that an engagement tongue is formed in the inter- mediate section of the slit.
- the engagement tongue is adapted to slip over the projecting rim of the can when the side panels and the centre portion of the blank are forced towards the inclined sides of the can and to snap in below the rim to securely and effectively lock the carrier to the cans.
- Figure 1 shows a plane cardboard blank for a carrier for cans according to an embodiment of the invention, said carrier being adapted for two rows of cans with six cans,
- Figure 2 shows in a perspective view a package assembly comprising a carrier with six cans, the carrier being produced from the cardboard blank of Figure 1
- Figure 3 shows a sectional view of the package assembly of Figure
- Figure 4 shows a sectional view of the package assembly of Figure 2 along the line IV-IV in Figure 2, and
- Figure 5 shows a plane cardboard blank for a carrier for cans according to a second embodiment of the invention, said carrier being adapted for two rows of cans with four cans.
- the carrier according to the invention is produced from a plane blank of cardboard, preferably corrugated cardboard.
- a thin and compact F-flute corrugated cardboard is preferably used.
- a thicker E-flute corrugated cardboard may also constitute a suitable material in the carrier.
- the corrugated cardboard may be coated with a plastic layer, preferably on its inner side. Besides that the plastic layer increases the resistance of the material against moisture, the layer also increases the ductility of the material. The advantages of the environment friendly corrugated cardboard remain also with a plastic coating, since the plastic material in the coated layer may be recycled.
- Figure 1 shows the plane cardboard blank 32 for a carrier according to an embodiment of the invention.
- the carrier is adapted to connect and hold a plurality of cans 4 disposed in two rows, as shown in Figure 2.
- the blank 32 in the embodiment as shown adapted for six cans 4, is shown in the assembled state in Figures 2 - 4.
- the cans 4, which do not form part of the present invention, are conventionally designed with an essentially circular- cylindrical basic form.
- the upper part of the can is slightly inclined and is closed by a top closure 6 which is sealed by means of a projecting circular rim 8.
- the plane blank 32 has an essentially rectangular basic form, preferably with dented or inclined corners 10, for reducing the risk that a projecting part of the carrier may get caught by an adjacent element, such as for example another package assembly.
- At least two gripping recesses 42 are centrally disposed in the blank between the rows of cans 4.
- the gripping recesses 42 are formed as oval openings and provide a secure finger grip for two fingers to lift and handle the package assembly.
- the gripping recesses 42 may, however, be circular or be formed differently and may be provided with a foldable flap 43, as shown in Figure 1.
- the foldable flaps 43 are adapted to be folded backwards between the cans in order to provide a reinforced and fingergrip-friendly lifting edge in the gripping recess 42. In Figure 2, the foldable flaps 43 have been folded back underneath the carrier between the cans.
- Each pair of slits comprises an outer slit 44, preferably having a first configuration, and an inner slit 45 adjacent to a centre line 34 between the rows of cans, having a second configuration.
- the outer slit 44 in each pair of slits consists of an arcuate intermediate section 16 having arcuate end sections 18 on both sides there- of. Step-like portions 20 are disposed between the intermediate section 16 and the end sections 18.
- the arcuate end sections 18 are part circular, the radius of which is equal to or slightly larger than the radius of the projecting rim 8 of the top closure 6, such that the edge of the end sections 18 in the assembled state is in line with or projects slightly outside the edge of the shoulder 8, as shown in Figure 2.
- the outer edge of the slit 44 may thus, along the end sections 18, easily be displaced downwardly past the rim 8, as will be explained more in detail below.
- the arcuate intermediate section 16 of the slit 44 is formed radially inside the extended arcuate end sections 18 of the slit, such that the intermediate section forms an arched edge inside the arched line formed by the extensions of the two end sections 18.
- the engagement tongue 22 is arched and may be part circular, the radius of which corresponds to the radius of the can just below the rim.
- the engagement tongue 22 may also be differently arched, for example, the arc may be part circular and "wider".
- This engagement tongue 22 has a larger radius and a centre which does not coincide with the centre of the cans in the assembled state of the carrier.
- the engagement tongue is adapted to snap in below the projecting rim 8 of the can 4 to connect and lock the can to the carrier, as will be described further below.
- the inner slit 45 differs from the outer slit 44, primarily in the design of the intermediate section 46, but also in that the arcuate end sections 48 are smaller than the corresponding end sections 18 in the outer slit 44. As a consequence, the intermediate section 46 of the inner slit is larger than the corresponding intermediate section 16 in the outer slit 44.
- the intermediate section 46 of the inner slit 45 has at least one, in the embodiment as shown two, radially extending incisions 47.
- the incisions 47 extend between the edge of the slit 45 and an arcuate folding line 53, extending between the end sections 48 and delimiting an engagement tongue between the step-like portions 50.
- the incisions 47 divide the engagement tongue into three engagement flaps 52.
- the curvature of the intermediate section 46 of the slit 45 differs from the cur- vature of the arcuate folding line 53 in that it is wider and has a larger radius that the folding line 53.
- the height of the engagement flaps 52 varies, such that it is higher in the centre of the engagement tongue and decreases continuously towards the ends of the engagement tongue, as shown in Figure 1.
- the arcuate folding line 53 is configured to correspond with the curvature of the contact line on the inclined surface of the can, as will be described more in detail below with reference to Figures 2 - 4.
- a plurality of additional folding lines are disposed in the blank 32.
- Three longitudinal folding lines 54, for each row of cans, extend parallel to the long sides 56 of the blank and to the rows of the cans.
- Two of the three longitudinal folding lines 54 connect the ends of the arcuate slits 44, 45 with each other or with an adjacent short side 58 of the blank and the third folding line 54 connects the step-like portions 20 in the outer slits 44 with each other or with an ad- jacent short side 58 of the blank.
- a plurality of folding lines 55 are disposed in the centre portions of the blank, said folding lines in the embodiment as shown being oblique and are disposed between the rows of cans in the blank.
- the oblique folding lines 55 connect the outer engagement flaps 52 with an adjacent gripping recess 42 or with an ad- jacent short side 58 of the blank.
- Portions 62, 64 of the plane blank are formed between the oblique folding lines 55, the arcuate folding lines 53 and the gripping recesses 42 or the side edges 58 of the blank.
- a width b, see Figure 1, of said portions 62, 64, extending between a pair of adjacent arcuate folding lines 53, is slightly larger than a spacing a, see Figure 3, extending between the contact lines of the adjacent arcuate folding lines 53 on the inclined surfaces of the cans in the assembled state of the carrier, as will be described more in detail below.
- the plane blank 32 in the preferred embodiment made of corrugated cardboard, is punched out of the corrugated material such that the direction of the flutes of the corrugated material (marked with a double arrow 65 in Figure 1) coincides with the direction of the engage- ment tongues 22, 52. Through this orientation of the flutes, the engagement tongues may withstand a maximum of compressive force.
- the outer dimensions of the plane blank 32 i.e. the length and the width of the blank, are chosen such that the side edges of the assembled carrier, with its side panels 60 being folded towards the inclined surfaces of the cans, do not exceed the maximum outer dimensions of the group of cans.
- the plurality of cans 4, disposed in two rows, are connected and held together by the carrier 31 in a package assembly, as shown in Figures 2 - 4.
- the plane blank is first superimposed on the group of cans.
- the essentially circular portions of the blank disposed between the opposing slits 44, 45 bear on and cover the top closures 6, such that the slits 44, 45 in the blank on the whole coincide with the projecting rim of the can. Then, pressure is applied against the plane blank.
- the arcuate engagement tongue 22 is formed to fit the cylindrical curvature of the can 4, such that the entire tongue 22 bears on the surface of the can below the rim 8 and exerts a tightening force ensuing from tensions distributed in the carrier along the outer edges of the end sections 18 of the slits from the contact pressure of the carrier 1 on the top closure 6, such that a secure and stable connection between the carrier and the cans is achieved.
- the upper plane parts of the assembled carrier cover the upper portions of the cans 4, i.e. the top closures 6, such that these portions are protected from contamination during transportation and storing.
- a special pressure- applying tool with individually spring-loaded rolls, applies pressure in the centre 34 of the blank, especially in the portions 62, 64.
- the pressure is preferably applied at certain points in the blank, however with a certain longitudinal extension, forcing the portions 62, 64 in a downward direction.
- the blank is folded in the longitudinal inner folding lines 54, such that the outer edges of the inner slits 45 are displaced downwardly past the rim 8 of the can.
- the blank 32 is folded in the oblique folding lines 55 and in the arcuate folding lines 53.
- the downward pressure is applied, such that the arcuate folding lines 53 are forced against the inclined surfaces of the cans, and the engagement flaps 52 are folded upwards and snap in below the rim 8 of the can into a locking position.
- the downward pressure is applied in central portions 62, 64 between the pairs of cans, thus forming bowl-shaped indentations 66, 68 between the oblique folding lines 55 and the arcuate folding lines 53.
- Figure 4 shows that the bottom level of each bowl-shaped indentation 66, 68 is formed centrally between each pair of cans and that the top level of the bowl is formed at the edge of the gripping recesses 42.
- the level of the bowl- shaped indentation 68 at the edge of the carrier 31 is slightly lower than the top level at the edge of the gripping recess 42.
- the bowl-shaped indentations 66, 68 are obtained by means of the oversized width b in the central portions 62, 64 of the blank and the declining height of the engagement tongue towards its ends and also the oblique folding lines 55.
- this assembly step i.e. when the bowl-shaped indentations 66, 68 are formed, the spacing between the outer slits 44 in the carrier is slightly reduced.
- the pressure of the engagement tongues 22 on the rim 8 are increased by means of the tightening forces from the central portions 62, 64. From this assembly step, the cans 4 are held and supported in the package assembly in a steady and secure engagement by the carrier.
- the lifting forces L in the carrier according to the invention are partly transformed to forces F tending to press the cans together (see Figures 3 and 4) and partly the lifting forces L in the gripping recesses 42 are distributed in the direction of the oblique fold- ing lines 55 and are transformed to an increased pressure of the engagement flaps 52 on the rim 8, such that the cans are held steadily by the carrier and are securely connected by the carrier.
- the bowl-shaped indentations, the gripping recesses provided centrally between the rows of cans and the projecting arcuate engagement tongues in the carrier according to the invention contribute to a secure and steady connection of the cans, a stiffening of the assembled carrier and a transformation of the lifting forces to an increased engagement pressure, an increased tightening of the carrier and a reduced tendency of movements of the cans in the carrier.
- Figure 5 shows a second exemplifying embodiment of a cardboard blank for a carrier for four cans in two rows of cans.
- Opposing pair of slits 44, 45 in the blank for each can to be connected by the carrier and folding lines are disposed in a corresponding manner as in the blank as shown in Figure 1.
- Two gripping recesses 42 are disposed in the blank.
- One gripping recess 42 is formed as an oval opening with a foldable flap 43 and is disposed centrally in the blank between the rows of cans.
- the other gripping recess 42 is disposed centrally in the edge of the blank and is formed as an open recess with a foldable flap 43.
- the blank is adapted for two cans arranged in two rows, as in Figures 1 and 5.
- the blanks may effectively be assembled on the cans in an automated production line.
- the blanks may however also effectively be assembled in a semi-automated line or in a packaging line and it is also convenient to assemble the blank manually into a package assembly.
