Application filed January 8, 191 5,Seria l no. 1,123. awed May 25, 1917. Serial No. 170,986.
To all whom it may concern: I, h
Be it known that I, ALBERT F. STONE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Montclair, in the county of Essex and State of-New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carton-Cases for Collapsible Tubes, of which the follow- This invention relates to collapsible cartons or casings forming an outer covering for collapsible tubes containing pastes, creams and other semi-liquid or liquid contents adapted. to be expelled by squeezing the tube. l
. The object of my invention is to provide a casing or carton, whichmay bemade of cardboard or other suitable *material, and
which incloses the collapsible tube, permitting the continued use of the tube contents while preserving the shape and contour of the carton or cover.
The cover is preferably constructed of a single blank of sheet material, cut into the shape substantially as shown, and adapted to be folded on the lines indicated.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part of the specification, Figure 1 is a plan view of the blank showing the outline and the crease lines upon which it is folded; Fig. I
2, is a perspective view showing the carton partly folded and the manner of placing the collapsible-tube in position therein; Fig. 3, is a perspective view showing the carton folded but with the top member swung back to expose the side flaps; Fig. 4, is a perspective view of the folded carton with the bottom clamp ready to be secured; Fig. 5, is a perspective of thecarton with an inclosed, tube, and partly broken away to show how the contents ofthe tube are expelled by pressing the carton between the fingers; Fig.j 6, is a plan view ofa blank part y broken away, showing a slightly modified carton construction; Fig. 7, 1s a detail view of the bottom end of the latter form; Fig. 8, is a sectional viewbn the line 8-8 of Fig. 5, and 9, is a cross-section on the line 9-9 of F1%. 7. s] he carton blank is cut preferabl from card-board or fiber-board and crease in the manner illustrated in Fig. 1, and comprises top and bottom 2, and 4, respectively, end 3, with its flaps 3", 3", and sides 6 and 7 with -'th'eir flaps. 6 and 7. The top and bottom members, 2 and 4, constituting the face members of the wedge, and the end member 8,
cated in Fig. 7.
forming the base-of the wedge, are rectangular, while the sides are triangular, so that the folded carton is wedge-shape. I The lines a, b, and c, d, are lines' of fold between the sides and'the flaps while the lines a, e, and c, f, are crease lines extending'longitudinally upon a median line through the sides and formed in the blank. The end flaps 3 3 are also creased on a median line as indicated in broken lines. The end or base member 3 is provided with a central aperture 9 through which the neck of the collapsible tube may protrude.
When it is desired to incase'the collapsible tube in the carton, the end or base member 3,
tion as indicated in Fig. 2, with the neck protruding throughjthe aperture 9. The end flaps are then bent inwardly and'the sides andtheir flaps are folded over in the manner indicated in Fig. 3; after which the top face member 2 is folded down over the side flaps, thereby forming the wedge-shape casing shown in Fig.4. A suitable metal clip 12, may be placed over the apex end and fastened by a'sealing machine to clamp the parts together. The edges a, g, and c, b, of the side flaps may be cut substantially square, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, so-that they will extend under the clamps 12 and be permanently secured thereby as shown in Fig. 8, or they maybe cut away at'an-angle along the lines a, g and c, h, as indicated in Figs. 6 and 7,s0 that the flaps will be free from the clamps as indicated in Fig. 9; In the latter case, the clamps12 will only"fas'- ten together the ,top and bottom or face members 2 and '4 of the wedge, as shown in Fig. 7, and the sideflaps may'be'folded over and inserted afterward if-preferrd'and the sides 6 and 7 being thus free", "=may be opened out at any time to exposethe tube as indi- As previously stated, the neck. 14 of the tube protrudes through the aperture in the end member, as shown in Fig.5. so that the "is. bent up perpendicular to the bottom face fme'm'ber 4, and the tube 10, is placed in posiecap 15 may be removed and the contents expelled, as at 16, by pressure of the fingers upon the carton in the manner indicated in Fig. 5. In said figure the'earton is broken away to show how the tube within is squeezed by the pressure up'on'the carton. The sides of the carton yield under pressure and bow or bulgeoutwardly along the crease lines a, e and 0, at, this result being the function of these crease lines. The end or base 3, however, is uncreased so that it maintains its shape due to the rigidity of the card-board. When the contents of the tube have been nearly all expelled, so that it is necessary to press the carton near the larger end, the end flaps 3, 3", also bulge or bow outwardly along the crease lines with the sides.
The advantages to be derived from the use of my invention will be appreciated .from the above description. The carton maintains its original shape, due to the stifiness or rigidity of the card-board or fiber-board, and yet permits the contents of the tube to be expelled in the usual manner by progressively pressing from the closed end toward -the discharge end or neck on account of the crease lines in the edge members. 7. The neat appearance of the package is, therefore, preserved during the entire period of use and the unsightly appearance of the wrinkled and distorted partly collapsed tube is concealed. The faces of the carton may receive printed matter such as advertisements and labels describing the contents and directions for its use, making it unnecessary to place the same upon the tube and these matters are preserved intact throughout the use of the contents, which is an important advantage. may also be varnished or otherwise made durable and water-proof.
\Vhile I have described in detail the particular construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings for the purpose of disclosing an embodiment of my invention, I am aware that various changes may be made therein within the scope of the appended claims and without departing from the spirit of my invention.
I claim 1. A carton casing or cover for collapsible tubes, comprising a fiber-board blank folded into a wedge-shaped box and having its edge members provided with longitudinal crease lines upon which said members may fold when pressure is exerted u on the faces of the wedge, while its end or ase member maintains its shape due to its stifi'ness or rigidity.
2. A carton casing or cover for collapsible The surface of the cartonv having longitudinal aaeaoei tubes, comprising a fiber-board blank folded into a wedge-shaped box and having side, edge and base members, said edge members being provided with longitudinal crease lines upon which they may fold when pressure is exerted upon the faces of the wedge, the rigidity of the base member maintaining its shape and being provided with an apgrture to receive the neck of a collapsible tu e.
3. A carton casing or cover for collapsible tubes, comprising a fiber board blank foldable into a wedge-shaped box, said blank having rectangular portions adapted to form the opposite face members of the wedge, an intermediate portion having an aperture to receive the neck of a collapsible tube and connected by folding joints with said rectangular portions, and triangular portions having outer marginal flaps and united at their inner longitudinal edges by folding joints with the opposite edges of one of said rectangular portions, said intermediate portion being sufliciently rigid to prevent distortion when the triangular portions are collapsed by pressure on the face members.
4. A carton casing or cover for collapsible tubes, comprising a blank foldable into a wedge-shaped box, said blank having rectangular portions adapted to form the 0pposite face members of the wedge, an intermediate rectangular portion having an aperture to receive the neck of a collapsible tube and connected by folding joints upon opposite sides with said rectangular portions and having flaps united to the other opposite sides, and triangular portions having outer marginal flaps and united at their inner longitudinal edges by folding joints with the opposite edges of one of said rectangular portions, said triangular portions crease lines causing the triangular portions to bulge outwardly when pressure is applied to the outer margins thereof.
In testimony whereof I afix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
ALBERT F. STONE.
