- ABSTRACT This disclosure is directed to an improved method of construction of drumhead type cartons (i.e., parallelepiped cartons whose ends are sealed by independent, taut membranes).
- a portion of the glue flap in the man ufacturers joint is extended beyond the end edges and is provided with a special edge configuration (e.g., sawtooth or non-straight edge) to provide a transverse dam or dams at the region of the manufacturers joint to which the membrane is tightly adhered.
- Absolute tightness at the joint maybe further enhanced by simultaneosuly cross-crushing and cross-sealing the mem brane and underlying special edge portions by a specially configured sealing platen.
- drumhead cartons The strength of these drumhead cartons is often custom tailored to meet packaging requirements by the choice of laminated materials used to construct the blanks. Moreover, with the development of improved coated and laminated paperboard materials and improved thermoplastic films, the tightness and imperviousness of membrane sealed cartons of the aforementioned type have been greatly imprvoed, and these cartons have continued to find ever increasing acceptance and widespread use in diverse packaging applications.
- the present invention is directed. More specifically, where the carton to be sealed includes a manufacturers joint extending into or terminating immediately adjacent the dust flaps, it is often possible for the applied membrane to stretch over the right angular step or shoulder defined at the straight edge of the manufacturers joint (indeed, the likelihood of such an occurrence is increased as a function of thhe increase in caliper of the carton blank). The stretching of the membrane over the shoulder tends to form a small gap or channel of triangular cross-section which, of course, establishes communication between the outside and inside of the carton and prevents an end sealed carton from being hermetically or otherwise completely tightly sealed.
- a proposed solution to this problem has included the line scoring of the membrane and end flap transversely of the manufacturers joint in order to eliminate the channel at the site of the line score. While the score did not eliminate the channel, its purpose was to cut off communication between the inside of the carton and the carton exterior by collapsing portions of the channel. Additionally, prior to the cross scoring step, in some instances a supplemental quantity of hot melt sealing material has been used to establish a fillet at the site of the crushing. It is to this specific problem area of drumhead carton formation i.e., leakage at the manufacturer's joint, and more specifically to the elimination of the need for supplementary sealing material that the present invention is directed.
- a new and improved dam or a series of dams is I formed in situ at the edge of the manufacturers joint than being merely collapsed or squeezed down adjacent the straight flap edge.
- FIG. 1 is a fragmentary plan elevational view of a drumhead carton blank embodying the interrupted or non-straight edge principle of the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a fragmentary perspective view of a carton erected from the blank of FIG. 1, with its end flaps outfolded and the sealing membrane adhered thereto;
- FIG. 3 is enlarged fragmentary cross-sectional view of the improved seal of the invention taken along line 3-3 of FIG. 2.
- FIGS. 4-6 are enlarged fragmentary plan elevationed views of alternative interrupted edge configurations embodying the principles of the invention.
- FIG. 7 is a fragmentary perspective view of a carton embodying the glue flap configuration of FIG. 6;

- the glue flap 15 extends for the entire depth of the carton and above the upper carton edge 17 as a glue flap segment 18.
- Front and rear carton closing flaps l9 and 20 are articulated to the front and rear walls at the carton edges 17, as shown, and dust flaps 21 and 22 are similarly articulated to the carton side walls at the edges 17 thereof. As indicated in FIG.
- the manufacturers joint 30 is established when forming flat folded tubes by adhering the glue flap 15 to the first side wall 11 and by adhering the glue flap segment 18 to the dust flap 21, which flaps together form a compound dust flap 31 having a step 32 (see FIG. 3) therein.
- the step is defined by the end edges 33 of the glue flap segment 18 and the upper surface 34 of the dust flap 21. Ordinarily when the segment 18 has a straight edge, a straight channel tends to form along the step after the membrane 40 is attached.

2 Sheets-Sheet 23 SEALS FOR DRUMHEAD CARTONS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Many airtight, siftproof, and moistureproof paperboard earton constructions for liquid and pulverulent materials are formed from parallelepiped cartons and have their opposite ends sealed by safety shield" members or drumhead membranes adhered to the carton end flaps and side flaps (dust flaps). Presently, in commercially useful drumhead cartons, the membrane materials and/or the inner surfaces of the flaps to which the membranes are adhered are thermoplastic. For example, a resin, wax or other material which may be easily heat sealed may be coated on the membrane of flaps. The strength of these drumhead cartons is often custom tailored to meet packaging requirements by the choice of laminated materials used to construct the blanks. Moreover, with the development of improved coated and laminated paperboard materials and improved thermoplastic films, the tightness and imperviousness of membrane sealed cartons of the aforementioned type have been greatly imprvoed, and these cartons have continued to find ever increasing acceptance and widespread use in diverse packaging applications.
It is to a further improvement in the airtightness or siftproofness of the attachment of the drumhead to the end carton flaps that the present invention is directed. More specifically, where the carton to be sealed includes a manufacturers joint extending into or terminating immediately adjacent the dust flaps, it is often possible for the applied membrane to stretch over the right angular step or shoulder defined at the straight edge of the manufacturers joint (indeed, the likelihood of such an occurrence is increased as a function of thhe increase in caliper of the carton blank). The stretching of the membrane over the shoulder tends to form a small gap or channel of triangular cross-section which, of course, establishes communication between the outside and inside of the carton and prevents an end sealed carton from being hermetically or otherwise completely tightly sealed. A proposed solution to this problem has included the line scoring of the membrane and end flap transversely of the manufacturers joint in order to eliminate the channel at the site of the line score. While the score did not eliminate the channel, its purpose was to cut off communication between the inside of the carton and the carton exterior by collapsing portions of the channel. Additionally, prior to the cross scoring step, in some instances a supplemental quantity of hot melt sealing material has been used to establish a fillet at the site of the crushing. It is to this specific problem area of drumhead carton formation i.e., leakage at the manufacturer's joint, and more specifically to the elimination of the need for supplementary sealing material that the present invention is directed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with the principles of the present invention a new and improved dam or a series of dams is I formed in situ at the edge of the manufacturers joint than being merely collapsed or squeezed down adjacent the straight flap edge.
For a better understanding of the present invention and its attendant advantages, reference should be made to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a fragmentary plan elevational view of a drumhead carton blank embodying the interrupted or non-straight edge principle of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary perspective view of a carton erected from the blank of FIG. 1, with its end flaps outfolded and the sealing membrane adhered thereto;
FIG. 3 is enlarged fragmentary cross-sectional view of the improved seal of the invention taken along line 3-3 of FIG. 2.
FIGS. 4-6 are enlarged fragmentary plan elevationed views of alternative interrupted edge configurations embodying the principles of the invention.
FIG. 7 is a fragmentary perspective view of a carton embodying the glue flap configuration of FIG. 6; and
FIG. 8 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view taken along line 8-8 of FIG. 7, showing the improved seal of the invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now to FIG. 1 a typical drumhead carton blank 10 (of which only one end is shown, it being understood that the opposite end is a mirror image of the illustrated end) includes a first side wall 11, a rear wall 12, a second side wall 13, a front wall 14, and a glue flap 15, consecutively articulated along parallel vertical creases 16. The glue flap 15 extends for the entire depth of the carton and above the upper carton edge 17 as a glue flap segment 18. Front and rear carton closing flaps l9 and 20 are articulated to the front and rear walls at the carton edges 17, as shown, and dust flaps 21 and 22 are similarly articulated to the carton side walls at the edges 17 thereof. As indicated in FIG. 2, the manufacturers joint 30 is established when forming flat folded tubes by adhering the glue flap 15 to the first side wall 11 and by adhering the glue flap segment 18 to the dust flap 21, which flaps together form a compound dust flap 31 having a step 32 (see FIG. 3) therein. The step is defined by the end edges 33 of the glue flap segment 18 and the upper surface 34 of the dust flap 21. Ordinarily when the segment 18 has a straight edge, a straight channel tends to form along the step after the membrane 40 is attached.
In accordance with the invention, the step 32 is interrupted or otherwise made non-linear by the provision of interruptions in the form of sawtooth-like projections 50 formed at the vertical edge of the segment 18. The crests 51 of the projections 50 are in line with normal straight edge portions 52 of the segment 18, while the troughs 53 between the projections lie inwardly of the straight edge portions. Alternatively the interruptions with crests and troughts may be in the form of square wave perforations 54 (FIG. 4), a single slot 35 (FIG. 5), or any other configuration which accomodates the entry of sealing membrane material 40 across the channel that tends to form at the edge of segment 18 in carton formation. The cartons of the invention are completed as follows. After the carton tubes are squared and placed on a carrier of a packaging machine, they are advanced continuously along a horizontal path for outfolding the flaps 19-22 and application and sealing of the membrane 40. With continued advance of the cartons, the sealing membrane 40 is applied and then is sealed, in tape form, to a group of cartons simultaneously by a group of heated sealing shoes which move along the path with the cartons and which are lowered into pressured engagement with the outfolded flaps and upper ends of the cartons. An exemplary sealing mechanism is disclosed in more detail in Lense US. application Ser. No. 835,008, filed June 20, i969 and entitled Packaging Machine With Continuous Motion Sealer. After the membrane is heat sealed to the flaps, the carton flaps 19-21 are infolded to complete the carton.
As shown in said application the lower or sealing surfaces of each sealing shoe are especially contoured and define the circumscribing sealing zones while a relieved area of the shoe receives and presses against the step 32 at the glue flap segment 18 overlying the dust flap 21, while the other embossing-sealing surfaces of the shoe tend to press against the exposed surfaces of the dust flap 21, and the flaps 19,20,22. In accordance with the invention a so-called peninsula or finger (dike pin) of the shoe extends into the relieved area of the shoe and serves to cross-crush and to cross-score the flue flap segment 18, at the interruptions 50 in the step 32 thereby forcing membrane 40 into the troughs 53 to form a dam 41 extending transversely of the step 32.
As will be understood, this constuction creates a barrier of one or more dams along the manufacturers joint and forms a new and improved drumhead seal which is superior to those heretofore obtainable. Moreover, the use of an interrupted edge configuration reduces resistance to and facilitates the crushing effect of the dike pins" of the sealing platens presently used on drumhead carton machines.
In some applications it may be desirable to eliminate the segment 18, as shown in the arrangement of FIG. 6, In accordance with the principles of the invention, improved end sealing of the carton may be effected in this case by providing the horizontal end edges 42 of the glue flap 15 rather than side edges of the glue flap segments 18 with interruptions 43 similar in shape to those shown in FIGS. 1-5. The crests 43a project slightly beyond the intended carton edges defined by scores 17 while the troughs 43c are generally colinear with the scores 17 as shown in FIG. 6.
The carton of FIG. 7 is initially glued and erected in the same manner as the carton of FIG. 2 until membrane sealing. However, when the membrane 40 is applied to the outfolded flaps 19-22 and sealed thereto by the heated platen of the packaging machine, the crests 43a will be crushed and spread beneath the membrane to effect a strong bond therewith. Moreover, the endmost distorted crest will tend to darn the shoulder formed between the glue flap l and the carton wall 1 1. After the membrane is heat sealed to the flaps, the carton flaps 19-22 are infolded to complete the carton.
As is well known to the art, extra tightness of the seal of the membrane 40 to the carton corners may be effected by expanding the corner areas or surfaces by crushing, controllably tearing or otherwise re-forming the same.
It should be understood that the specific drumhead closures herein illustrated and described are intended to be representative only as certain changes may be made therein without departing from the clear teachings of the disclosure. Accordingly, reference should be made to the following appended claims in determining the full scope of the invention.
