Definitions
- ABSTRACT The embodiment of the invention disclosed herein is directed to a carrier for a plurality of bottles arranged in a row.
- the carrier is made from a resilient deformable plastic sheet material which folds and mechanically locks into a prism-like shape in which the end faces are triangles.
- Aligned apertures through the base and apex of the carrier provide an interlocking relationship of the carrier with the bottles such that the side walls of the carrier are bowed outwardly to project the marginal edges of the apertures in the apex of the carrier firmly against the underside of the cap portion enlargements of the bottles with the marginal edges of the apertures in the base of the carrier being firmly circumferentially urged downwardly against the enlarging neck portions of the bottle.
- the bottle gripping apertures in the apex of the carrier are defined by partially lapped larger apertures in lapped sections of the carrier. Simple tabs permit the carrier to be unlocked and the larger apertures in lapped sections of the carrier may then be axially aligned to permit the carrier to be easily lifted from the bottles.
- the carrier may be reused by mechanically interlocking the tabs in the tab receiving apertures and projecting the carrier downwardly over the bottles until the apex apertures snap below the enlarged cap portions of the bottles.
- An integral upwardly extending handle is provided for easy carrying of the bottles inserted into the carrier.
- PA'TENTEDJun 1 1 m4 SHEEI 2 BF 2 BOTTLE CARRIER; t
- BACKGROUNDIOF THEINVE-NTION made for packaging or otherwise securing a group of such beverage bottles together ina depending, condition and generally required positive paperboard gripping means which must be: torn or otherwise destroyed to remove bottles fromthe carrier, with the result that the carrier can not be'used again; for carrying; theempty bottles when their return to a. store is desirable or necessary.
- Various molded: or formed bifurcated clips are also known for carrying a groupofibottl'es in a depending condition. While reusable, such: carriers are generally expensive-anddo not hold the bottles againstpivotting in the carrier. Also, reusable carriers generally have separate handle means attached. to the carrier to facilitate in carrying the heavy weight of quart size, bottles. However, these separate, handle structures increase the-overall cost of such carriers.
- the carrier of the invention is a. simple and economiin axial parallel alignment against pivoting to permit safe, convenient transport of the resulting package.
- the resulting package is easily removed from the bottles by pulling the tabs from their interlocking apertures.
- the apex of the carrier then opens into axially aligned overlapping apertures which are substantially larger than the enlarged cap portions of the bottles and the opened carrier isthen merely lifted from the bottles.
- the carrier of the invention is also easily reassembled for carrying bottles, such as returning empties to the store, by overlapping the apex portions of the carrier, and manually snapping the tabs into their interlocking apertures.
- the carrier is then merely pushed downdiverging neck portions, which is easily assembed in a locked condition for application to the bottles, easily unlocked for removal from the bottles, and which, in the locked and applied condition to the bottles, will firmly hold the bottles in a row for hand transport by gripping an upwardly'extending handle of the carrier with the bottles in a depending condition therefrom.
- cal carrier that can be, usedandreused for carrying returnable or non-returnable bottles. and is intended for .use with .a plurality of bottles arranged-in: a. row.
- the carrier firmly holds the bottles against pivoting in the carrier.
- the carrier is made from a resilient, deformitial projection of the carrier downward over the bottles, the base of the carrier, which hasv apertures of a substantial size therein, engages the enlarging or diverging neck portions ofthebottles substantially below the cap portions.
- the apex of the carrier which has apertures therein with opposed upwardly and inwardly inclinededges, is cammed over the enlarged cap portions of the bottles to lock beneath the cap portions.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view of one embodiment of a carrier blank constructed in accordance with the principles of this invention
- FIG.-2 is a side elevational view of a package showing the carrier of FIG. 1 in an assembled condition and applied to three bottles in a row;
- FIG. 3 is a fragmentary end view of the structure shown in FIG. 2 as taken substantially along the line 3-3 of FIG. 2;
- FIG. 4 is a plan view of another embodiment of a carrier blank constructed in accordance with this invention.
- FIG. 5 is a side elevational view of a package showing the carrier of FIG. 4 in an assembled condition and applied to three bottles in a row;
- FIG. 6 is a fragmentary end view of the structure shown in FIG. 2 as taken substantially along the line 6-6 of FIG. 5.
- the carrier blank 10 shown in FIG. 1 is punched or otherwise fonned from a sheet of plastic material of uniform thickness.
- one suitable material has been found to be high density polyethylene in a 0.04 thickness.
- High density polyethylene has the proper resiliency and deformability to permit the carrier blank to be folded and locked into an assembled condition, to effectively interlock with a plurality of substantially heavy beverage bottles, to be easily disassembled and removed from the bottles, to be easily reassembled for repeated use, and to provide an integral upwardly extending handle to facilitate carrying.
- the carrier blank 10 is provided with four spacedapart and parallel fold lines 12, 14, 16, and 18.
- the fold lines 12, 14, 16, and 18 divide the carrier blank 10 into five panel sections 20, 22, 24, 26, and 28.
- An integral handle 21 is formed as part of the panel section 20.
- the handle 21 has a bendable lip 23 which is turned under in a manner to make it more comfortable to the hand when carrying heavy loads.
- Panel section includes one longitudinal edge of the carrier which is contiguous to panel section 22 at the fold line 12.
- the outer longitudinal edge of panel section 20 is provided with three integral tabs which extend outwardly therefrom in the plane of panel section 20;
- Each tab 30 has opposed ears 32 which extend in directions longitudinal of the panel section 20.
- the ears 32 on the tabs 30 are shown as substantially semi-circular, the invention comtemplates other forms for the tabs 30.
- the tabs 30 may have the general shape of an arrowhead.
- the panel section 20 further includes the major portions of a plurality of apertures 34.
- the apertures 34 are three in number to provide a carrier embodiment for three bottles, however, the invention contemplates a greater or lesser number of apertures for a corresponding different number of bottles.
- the apertures 34 intersect and make the fold line 12 discontinuous. Portions of the apertures 34, about one-fourth of the width thereof measured transversely of the panel sections 20 and 22, extend into panel section 22.
- the apertures 34 are substantially square in shape and the length of a side thereof is greater than the largest diameter of the cap portion of the bottle intended to be associated therewith.
- Panel section 28 is substantially a mirror image of panel section 20 without the tabs 30.
- Panel section 28 includes one longitudinal edge of the carrier blank 10 and is contiguous to panel section 26 on fold line 18.
- Panel sections 28 and 26 are provided with apertures 36 which are formed therein as apertures 34 are formed in panel sections 20 and 22.
- Panel section 28 preferably has a width which is narrower than the width of panel section 20, absent of the tabs 30, by a distance of substantially equal to the thickness of the blank 10.
- Panel section 26 is also narrower than panel section 22 by about the thickness of the blank 10. This width arrangement of the panel sections 20, 22, 26, and 28 provides for proper relative positioning of panel section 20 over panel section 26 which fold line 12 at the apex of the defined prism as may be seen in FIG. 3.
- Panel section 22 is contiguous to panel section 24 along fold line 14.
- Panel section 26 is contiguous to panel section 24 along fold line 16.
- Panel section 24 is provided with three circular apertures 38 which are arranged in a spaced-apart relationship longitudinally of the panel section 24 and substantially in transverse alignment with the apertures 34 and 36.
- the apertures 38 are tangent to the fold lines 14 and 16.
- the apertures 38 have a diameter less than the diameter of the bottle intended to be associated therewith at a point measured axially downward of the bottle from the underside of the enlarged cap portion, a distance substan tially equal to the vertically projected width of the panel section 22.
- Panel section 26 is provided with three tab interlocking apertures 44.
- the tab interlocking apertures 44 are positioned in a spaced-apart relationship longitudinally of the panel section 26 substantially in transverse alignment with the tabs 30.
- the tab interlocking apertures 44 have widths measured in a direction longitudinally of the panel section 26 which are substantially equal to the width of the tabs 30 without the ears 32.
- the panel sections 22 and 26 are folded upwardly in the same direction from the panel section 24 so that the panel section 24 defines the base of the carrier.
- the panel sections 20 and 28 are then folded along the fold lines 12 and 18 respectively toward each other, and the fold lines 12 and 18 are brought together in a lapped arrangement with the fold line 12 over the fold line 18 to cause the panels 22 and 26 to form the side walls of the carrier with the general shape of a prism having end faces which are triangles.
- the ears 32 of the tabs 30 are then projected or snapped through the tab interlocking apertures 44 so that the panel sections 20 and 28 extend generally downwardly from the apex formed by fold lines 12 and 18 and generally parallel and against the side walls of the carrier formed by panel sections 22 and 26.
- openings of a size, measured in a direction transversely of the carrier, substantially smaller then the maximum diameter of the enlarged cap portions of the bottles intended to be associated therewith are formed bythe opposed longitudinally extending sides 34a and 36a of the apertures 34 and 36.
- the side walls of the carrier When the partially lapped apertures 34 and 36 are interlocked beneath the enlarged cap portions 48 as described, the side walls of the carrier will be bowed outwardlylongitudinally thereof as shown in FIG. 3. This bowing of the side walls of the carrier produces an extremely stable and substantially rigid package.
- the resiliency of the side walls urges the apex of the carrier and the openings therein in firm locking contact with the necks of the bottles 46 beneath the cap portions 48 and further urges the base portion of the carrier downwardly relative to the bottles 46 to firmly hold the bottles 46 with the longitudinal axis thereof parallel and against pivoting thereof.
- the carrier is easily removed from the bottles 46 by a person pulling the central portion of the tabs 30 downwardly of the side wall of the carrier to pull or snap the ears 32 of the tabs 30 out of the tab interlocking apertures 44.
- the panel sections and 28 are shiftable relative to each other to substantially axially align the peripheries of the apertures 34 with the peripheries of the apertures 36 and the carrier may then be merely lifted from the bottles 46.
- the handle 21 has the bendable lip 23 thereof turned outwardly to provide a relatively large surface area for contact with the hand when the carrier and bottles therein are being carried. This lip 23 is turnable in either direction so as to extend to the left as well as to the right as shown on the drawings.
- FIG. 4 An alternate arrangement of a carrier blank is shown in FIG. 4 and is designated generally by reference numeral 100.
- the carrier blank 100 may also be made of 0.04 inch thick polyethylene, or any other suitable material as desired.
- the carrier blank 100 is folded and locked into an assembled condition similar to that of the carrier blank 10 of FIG. 1, and to provide an integral upwardly extending handle to facilitate carrying.
- the carrier blank 100 is provided with four spacedapart and parallel fold lines 112, 114, 116 and 118.
- the fold lines 112, 114, 116, and 118 divide the carrier blank 100 into five panel sections 120, 122, 124, 126, and 128.
- An integral handle 121 is formed as part of the panel section 120.
- the handle 121 has a bendable lip 123 which is turned under in a manner to make it more comfortable to the hand when carrying heavy loads.
- Panel section 120 includes one longitudinal edge of the carrier which is contiguous to panel section 122 at the fold line 112.
- the outer longitudinal edge of panel section 120 is provided with three integral tabs 130 which extend outwardly therefrom in the plane of panel section 120.
- Each tab 130 has opposed ears 132 which extend in directions longitudinal of the panel section 120.
- the ears 132 on the tabs 130 are shown as substantially semi-circular, the invention contemplates other forrns for the tabs 130.
- the tabs 130 may have the general shape of an arrowhead.
- the panel section 120 further includes the major portions of a plurality of apertures 134.
- the apertures 134 are three in number to provide a carrier embodiment for three bottles, however, the invention contemplates a greater or lesser number of apertures for a corresponding different number of bottles.
- the apertures 134 intersect and make the fold line 112 discontinuous.
- the aperture 134 is longer than the aperture 34 of FIG. 1 and has about one third of the length in panel 122 and two thirds in panel 120.
- the apertures 134 are substantially rectangular in shape and the length of a side thereof is greater than the largest diameter of the cap portion of the bottle intended to be associated therewith.
- Panel section 126 is narrower than panel section 122 by about the thickness of the blank 100. This width arrangement of the panel sections 120, 122, 126, and 128 provides for proper relative positioning of panel section over panel section 126 with fold line 112 at the apex of the defined prism as may be seen in FIG. 6.
- Panel section 122 is contiguous to panel section 124 along fold line 114.
- Panel section 126 is contiguous to panel section 124 along fold line 116.
- Panel section 124 is provided with three circular apertures 138 which are arranged in a spaced-apart relationship longitudinally of the panel section 124 and substantially in transverse alignment with the apertures 134 and notches 136.
- the apertures 138 are tangent to the fold lines 114 and 116.
- the apertures 138 have a diameter less than the diameter of the bottle intended to be associated therewith at a point measured axially downward of the bottle from the underside of the enlarged cap portion, a distance substantially equal to the vertically projected width of the panel section 122.
- Panel section 126 is provided with three tab interlocking apertures 144.
- the tab interlocking apertures 144 are positioned in a spaced-apart relationship longitudinally of the panel section 126 substantially in transverse alignment with the tabs 130.
- the tab interlocking apertures 144 have widths measured in a direction longitudinally of the panel section 126 which are substantially equal to the width of the tabs 130 without the ears 132.
- the panel sections 122 and 126 are folded upwardly in the same direction from the panel section 124 so that the panel section 124 defines the base of the carrier.
- the panel sections 120 and 128 are then folded along the fold lines 112 and 118 respectively toward each other, and the fold lines 112 and 118 are brought together in a lapped arrangement with the fold line 112 over the fold line 118 to cause the panels 122 and 126 to form the side walls of the carrier with the general shape of a prism having end faces which are triangles.
- the ears 132 of the tabs 130 are then projected or snapped through the tab interlocking aper tures 144 so that the panel sections 120 and 128 extend generally downwardly from the apex formed by fold lines 1 12 and 118 and generally parallel and against the side walls of the carrier formed by panel sections 122 and 126.
- openings of a size, measured in a direction transversely of the carrier, substantially smaller than the maximum diameter of the enlarged cap portions of the bottles intended to be associated therewith are formed by the opposed longitudinally extending sides 134a and 136a of the apertures 134 and notches 136.
- the construction of the carrier blank 100 is similar to that of the carrier blank 10 except that the apertures 36 are now formed as recesses or notches 136. How ever, the cooperation of the edges 134a and 136a function in the same manner as the edges 34a and 36a of FIG. 1.
- Another difference of the embodiment of FIG. 4 is the double fold line of the handle portion 121. In this instance there are two fold portions 123 and to provide a U-shaped handle grip as best seen in FIG. 6.
