United States Patent 3,208,633 BOTTLE CARRIER Earl .I. Graser, Monroe, La., assignor to Olin Mathieson Chemical Corporation, a corporation of Virginia Filed Oct. 29, 1963, Ser. No. 319,759 2 Claims. (Cl. 220-115) The present invention relates to a bottle carrier and relates in particular to a bottle carrier of the type useful to package a plurality of beverage bottles.
A primary feature of the invention is the provision of a unique blank fabricated from a single sheet of paper board which is convertible by folding and gluing into a collapsible bottle carrier which satisfies the requirements of Rule 41 of the Uniform Freight Classification regulations as established by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
A further feature of the invention is the provision of a collapsible bottle carrier which provides a longitudinal and transverse partition arrangement which affords individual bottles protection on all sides throughout the full depth of the carrier.
The present invention also contemplates a bottle carrier blank of the type having hinged cut-outs which are rotatable about a score line to develop transverse partitions in the erected carrier; certain portions of several cut-outs are closed by a filler flap to insure bottle protection on all sides.
A paperboard blank convertible into a full depth multicell collapsible carrier and embracing certain features of the present invention may comprise a pair of spaced side walls, each side wall having an end wall and a partition section hinged thereto in series in the order named, a multi-ply handle section disposed between the side walls, said handle section and said end walls being hinged to mating partition sections along a common fold line, a bottom panel hinged to one side wall, each partition section comprising a longitudinal partition and a pair of spaced transverse partitions, each transverse partition having return bend flaps operable to develop double ply thickness in the central region of the transverse partition, each transverse partition having a glue flap operable to secure the transverse partition to its mating side wall, one transverse partition of each pair comprising a cut-out from its mating longitudinal partition, and a filler flap hinged to said bottom wall operable to tuck between mating longitudinal partitions effective to close a portion of said cut-out when the blank is converted into a carrier.
Other features and advantages of the invention will become more apparent from an examination of the succeeding specification when read in conjunction with the appended drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a blank illustrating a first embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 shows the first steps in fabricating a carrier from the blank of FIG. 1;
FIGS. 3 and 4 show succeeding steps in fabricating the carrier;
FIG. 5 shows the finished fully formed carrier in the collapsed condition;
FIG. 6 shows the carrier fully erect;
FIG. 7 is similar to FIG. 6 with certain of the side wall portions broken away to show the internal partition structure;
FIGS. 8, 9 and 10 are sectional views of FIG. 7 taken along the lines and viewed in the directions indicated.
Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows a one piece blank of paperboard illustrating a glue pattern, score lines and through cuts in conventional fashion.
The panels 13 and 14 are coated with glue as indicated by the hatching references 18. Side walls 11 and 12 are hinged by score lines 18 and 19, respectively, to adjacent end Wall panels 21 and 22. The end wall panels 21-22 are, in turn, hinged at score line 23 to partition sections 24 and 26, respectively.
Note that the handle panels 13 and 14 are also hinged to the partition sections 24 and 26 along score line 23.
Each partition section comprises a longitudinal partition identified by the reference numerals 27 and 28 and a pair of spaced transverse partitions, identified by the reference numerals 29 and 31 in partition section 24 and by the numerals 32 and 33 in partition section 26.
Note that the partitions 29 and 32 are cut-outs from the longitudinal partitions 27 and 28 respectively. Each transverse partition 29, 31, 32 and 33 is provided with a return bend flap identified by the reference numerals 34, 36, 37 and 38.
The flaps 34 and 36 through 38 are operative to rotate about score lines, such as the line 39, to contact glue 41 to develop a double ply thickness for a reason which will become more apparent hereinafter.
Hinged to the partition section 26 at score line 42 is a longitudinal partition flap 43 also formed with a return bend flap 44.
A filler flap 47, hinged to partition section 26 along score line 50, is operative to replace material removed from partition sections 24 and 26 as a result of the cutouts created by transverse partitions 29 and 32 as will be more apparent as the specification progresses.
As stated previously, the hatching in the various figures is for the purpose of showing regions in which glue is applied.
Referring now to FIG. 2, note that the initial steps in forming the carrier involve rotating handle panels 16 and 17 about score line 49 into a glued and face-to-face relationship with respect to panels 13 and 14.
Return bend flaps 34, 36, 37, 38 and 44 are rotated to the positions shown.
In FIG. 3, succeeding steps are shown, namely, partition sections 24 and 26 are rotated about score line 23 and transverse partition glue flaps 51 through 54 are glued to their mating side walls 11 and 12.
In FIG. 4 longitudinal partition flap 43 is first rotated about score line 42 and is secured to longitudinal partition 28 by the glue indicated by the reference numeral 56 in FIG. 3. Next, opposite end walls 57 and 58 are rotated about score line 59 to the position shown. Next bottom panel 46 is rotated about central score line 61. Thereafter filler flap 47 is rotated about score line 50 so that the filler flap overlays longitudinal partition 28 particularly the portion thereof cut out by the transverse partition 32.
Of course glue is applied, as necessary, to the various regions shown by the hatching indicia. Next the blank is folded about score line 62 to develop the collapsed carrier structure shown in FIG. 5 with bottom flap 63 overlapping and gluing to bottom panel 46 in well known fashion.
FIG. 6 shows the collapsed carrier of FIG. 5 in the erect condition.
Referring now to FIGS. 7 through 10, details of the partition structure of the erect carrier become more apparent.
FIGS. 7 and 9 show that all transverse partitions 29 and 31 through 33 have a double ply thickness in the central region of the partition (provided by return bend flaps 34, 36, 37 and 38) to give bottles maximum board thickness at their points of tangency.
These figures also show that the longitudinal partition is at least double ply thickness in that the longitudinal partition flap 43 has a return bend flap 44.
FIGS. 1, 7, 8 and show that the transverse partitions 29 and 32 make substantial cut-outs from the longitudinal partitions 27 and 28 particularly at the bottom of the erected carton.
Note particularly in FIGS. 7 and 10 that filler flap 47 replaces the cut-out from both transverse partitions 27 and 28 at the bottom of the carrier where, were it not for the filler flap 47, there would be a serious problem of damage between bottles straddling the cut-outs.
It is anticipated that a wide variety of modifications may be devised Without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
What is claimed is:
1. A one piece, single ply blank convertible into a full depth, multi-cell bottle carier comprising a pair of spaced side walls, each side wall having an end wall and a partition section hinged thereto in series and in the order named, a multi-ply handle section disposed between the side walls, said handle section and said end walls being hinged to mating partition sections along a common fold line, a bottom panel hinged to one side wall, each partition section comprising a longitudinal partition and a pair of spaced transverse partitions, each transverse partition having return bend flaps operable to develop double ply thickness in the central region of the transverse partition, each transverse partition having a glue flap operable to secure the transverse partition to its mating side wall, one transverse partition of each pair comprising a cut-out from its mating longitudinal partition, and a filler flap hinged to one of said partition sections operable to tuck between mating longitudinal partitions effective to close a portion of said cut-out when the blank is converted into a carrier, and a longitudinal partition flap hinged to one of said partition sections, said flap having a return bend flap and being operable when the blank is converted into a carrier to sandwich between said partition sections.
2. The blank of claim 1 wherein the filler flap and the longitudinal partition flap are both hinged to the same partition section.
