Definitions
- a carton having a unitary body and a plurality of relatively foldable panels includes a base panel, side panels adjacent opposite marginal edges of the base panel which in turn include two relatively foldable portions, and end panel adjacent a third marginal edge of the base panel, and a cover panel adjacent the end panel; the surface of a portion of each side panel has at least one opening and the surface of the cover panel has at least two integral tabs which register with the respective side panel openings when the carton is assembled by folding the several panels with respect to each other, the tabs being bendable out of the surface plane of the cover panel and into the respective openings in the side panels to constrain the several panels in their relatively folded positions; a plurality of cartons may be transported in a reusable shipping package which includes a rigid base upon which the cartons are arranged in a suitable number of stacks and secured, a unitary cover sheet of substantial thickness which includes a first por tion underlying the base
- the present invention relates to cartons and shipping packages. More particularly, the present invention relates to a novel construction of a carton having a unitary body and a plurality of relatively foldable panels and a reusable shipping package for transporting a plurality of cartons of this type.
- Unitary body cardboard or fiberboard cartons having a plurality of relatively foldable panels are well known.
- Cartons of this type are generally fastened together by staples or rivets and, in some cases by complex tab and slit configurations which are difficult to manipulate.
- shipment of a plurality of such cartons generally involves the time-consuming procedure of packing bulky wooden crates which are not suitable for reuse.
- the heavy shipping crates have the further drawback of increasing the freight charges incurred by the shipper and thus add to the cost of the article being shipped.
- a lightweight, sturdy carton which is easy to assemble and a lightweight, preferably reusable shipping package for transporting a plurality of cartons has not been available.
- the carton of the present invention is of the type having a unitary body and a plurality of relatively foldable panels.
- the present carton comprises a rectangular base panel, first and second side panels adjacent first and second opposite edges of the base panel, each side panel including first and second relatively foldable portions, a first end panel adjacent a third marginal edge of the base panel, and a rectangular cover panel adjacent the first end panel.
- the surface of the second portion of each side panel has at least one opening and the surface of the cover panel has at least two integral tabs which are bendable out of the surface plane of the cover panel.
- the tabs register with respective side panel openings when the side panels and the first end panel are folded at substantially a right angle with respect to the base panel, the second portions of the side panels are folded at substantially a right angle with respect to the first portions of the side panels, and the cover panel is folded into surface contact with the second portions of the side panels.
- the several panels are constrained in their relatively folded positions by displacing the tabs of the cover panel into the respective openings in the second portions of the side panels.
- a plurality of cartons may be transported in the reusable shipping package of the present invention which comprises a rigid base, the cartons being arranged in a stack and secured to the base.
- a unitary cover sheet of substantial thickness includes a first portion which underlies the base and second and third portions which are foldable with respect to the first portion into surface contact with opposite lateral carton stack faces. The cover sheet is secured to the carton stacks by fastening means which are disposed about the carton stack and the second and third portions of the cover sheet.
- the carton and shipping package of the present invention offer the advantages of rapid assembly which reduces labor costs and light weight which reduces shipping costs.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view of a unitary body sheet of a first embodiment of the carton of the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view in partial section of a first embodiment of the carton of the present invention
