INVENTOR. Jo/zzz W 6066 Patented Nov. 30, 1948 CELLULAR CARTON John W. Cox, Chicago, Ill., assignor, by mesne assignments, to Shellmar Products Corporation, Chicago, Ill., a corporation of Delaware Application October 23, 1942, Serial No. 463,106 Claims. (01. 229-29) 1 The present invention relates to an improved type of molded pulp carton and has particular reference to improvements in molded pulp egg cartons of a two-by-six type to be employed in packagingeggs.
A principal object of the invention is to provide a molded pulp carton, preferably of the twoby-six type, which is divisible into two or more portions along a transverse line or lines of severance and which has integrally molded bracing members adjacent said line or lines, whereby the carton prior to and after being divided has desired rigidity at all points.
A further object is the provision of a divisible two by-six type molded pulp egg carton having a cover including side and end wall and a top panel, the latter being subdivided by a depressed portion extending across the carton and defining a transverse line of severance aligned vertically with a line of severance in the carton bottom, thereby forming a rigidity-imparting brace, the depressed portion of the cover also stiffening the cover against spreading.
Other objects of the invention will be evident upon a consideration of the following specification and by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a front elevational view illustrating a portion of a preferred form of molded pulp cellular carton divided into a plurality of sections;
Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 illustrating a modification thereof;
Fig. 3 is a plan view depicting the container of Fig. 1 in open position further illustrating the invention;
Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3 depicting the container of Fig. 2 in open position;
Fig. 5 is an end elevation partly in'section taken along the line 5-5 of Fig. 2 and looking in the direction of the arrows; and
Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 5 taken along the lines 6-6 of Fig. 1 and looking in the direction of the arrows.
Referring more particularly to Fig. 1 and'Fig. 2 of the drawing there is shown generally at It body members divided into sections each of which has transversely and longitudinally arranged rows of egg-receiving compartments H and sectional cover members indicated generally at 12. The particular cartons herein described are largely used for purposes of illustration merely and for this reason specifically are shown divided into a lesser number of sections than that favored by conventional practice. Conventional practice favors dividing along a line of severance into two equal two-by-three sections. However, the particular type shown more readily and more clearly illustrates two different modifications of construction through which such a severance may most desirably be accomplished.
In each modification the cells of the bottom member are shown as being of octagonal shape and are in part formed by a series of upstanding hollow upwardly tapered separator members I3 of generally quadrilateral section positioned in spaced relation along the center of the carton. This type of construction is shown in Sherman Patent No. 1,975.129. The wall sections of the bottom formed by the compartments or. cells extend upwardly and outwardly, and terminate adjaccrt the side of the carton without the pronounced flange shown in the Sherman patent.
At the front of the generally rectangular carton bottom it the right angle margins thereof ceact with adjacent sides of the octagonal inwardly tapering cell walls in defining triangular abutments It, Similar abutments designated by the reference numeral 15 are similarly formed along the front edge or margin of bottom l0. At opposite rear corners of the bottom, like abutments may be provided, if desired, although they are not shown in the illustrated embodiments.
Referring now to the sectional cover members I2 it will be seen that they have abutments l6 and H, corresponding to and opposed to the abutments It, IS respectively on the carton bottom Hi.
Preferably the cover is perforated as at 18 as is also the body portion, as indicated at l9, as more fully explained hereinafter. It will be noted that the corners opposite the cover abutments or supports are also omitted as in the case of the bottom, the sides of the cover extending downwardly, outwardly and terminating similarly to the bottom member and adjacent thereto. The body member I!) and the cover member l2 at the back of the carton are integral with each other, having a common edge and hinge line defined only by a score line 20. When the cover is swung into closed position around the score line 20 it will be seen that a container or carton is provided free of a surrounding flange, the respective edges of the body member and the cover member coming in adjacent supporting contact with each other. The cover and the body members maintain their respective position and do not telescope within each other because the bottom and cover corner abutments. Hi, It respectively, together with the corresponding intermediate abutments I5, l'l respectively, are brought into registering abutting relation. Lateral shifting of the cover cover.
relative to the bottom is not accompanied by telescoping and resultant rupture, due to this provision. Likewise by reason of these abutments on the cover and body members areas are provided which are suited to receive clips or any other suitable fastening means adapted to hold the cover and bottom members in continuously closed condition.
Referring to Figs. 1, 3 and 6, it will be noted that the perforations defining the line of severance I8 are co-incident longitudinally of the vertically extending angular sided depressions 2| in the cover 12 and similar depressions 23 in the bottom or receptacle In, said transverse line, of perforations being located medially of the apexes of said respective depressions. Reference to Figs. 1 and 6 indicates that the depression 2| extends downwardly only a portion of the vertical dimension of the cover, terminating in a transverse bridge surface 21 of substantial width between the adjacent sections of the cover defined by said depression, said bridge surface being connected forwardly and rearwardly of the cover with the marginal portions of the latter by the legs or struts 28. This provides a cover subdividing area of reduced cross section, in which the perforations l8 are conveniently located, notwithstanding which, a strong bracing action is exerted on the cover, consequently reinforcing the carton as a whole against vertical collapse or rupture.
Immediately beneath the above described arch, the carton bottom is provided with similar arches or bridges, 26 between adjacent cells or compartments i I longitudinally of the carton, these bridges having the above mentioned line of perforations l9 extending thereacross in vertical alignment with the line of perforations l8 of the perforations l8, l9 therefore extend entirely about the girth of the carton at the above described bridging areas to define a continuous line of subdivision around the carton. Reference to Figs. 1 and 6 indicates that the bridges 26 are located sufiiciently close to the bottom of the receptacle It) to strongly brace the latter. The reentrant abutments I on the receptacle are engageable by the corresponding abutments ll of the cover in the closed position of the carton, thus affording a substantial area of support for a subdivided section at the newly constituted margin thereof and preventing telescoping of the cover and bottom even though some relative lateral displacement thereof should occur.
The above construction provides a carton of 2 x 6 capacity which is readily subdivisible along the perforation lines of severance l8, 19 into sections of lesser capacity, yet which is in no substantial degree weakened by the provision of such line of severance. This is made possible by the carton bracing bridge or arches 26, 21 in the bottom and cover, respectively. Moreover, following severance, the subdivided section continues to possess desired strength and rigidity as .2 result of the arching and bracing action referred to.
In Figs. 2, 4 and 5 I illustrate a further modification of the invention, which differs from that described in that the subdivisional depression in the cover defined by the downwardly extending angular compartment walls 22 extends the full vertical dimension of the cover to the edge of the latter. This eliminates the necessity for a line of perforation at this point. The arches in the bottom section, designated by the reference numeral 25, which extend downwardly a portion of the vertical dimension of the inclined compart- It will be understood that these lines of ment walls 24, are in all respects similar to the arches 26 of the preceding embodiment. They afford desired rigidifying action for the bottom and the carton as a whole and are severable along the line of perforations l9, as in the preceding embodiment. This last described modification is more easily broken into sections in use, but on the whole is adequately braced against accidental collapse or rupture. It will be appreciated that in either of the embodiments, subdivided sections are provided with means in the form of the supports of substantial area at or on the line of perforation thereof, whereby telescoping of the cover and bottom is prevented, notwithstanding some relative lateral displacement of the cover and bottom.
It will also be recognized that many changes may be made in the invention as described herein without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
