- the top panels are disposed in opposing relation with their edges spaced-apart to define an opening for insertion of the newspapers or other sheet-like material to be packaged.
- the bottom wall has length and width dimensions approximately equal to those of the paper material to be packaged, but the length dimension of the insertion opening is less than the bottom wall length due to the reduction afforded by the top panels.
- the insertion opening width is substantially the full width of the bottom wall, the packaged papers are retained between the bottom wall and top panels due to the overhang presented by the top panels.
- the papers are easily slipped into the container one or two at a time simply by bending them over enough to slip under the top panels and then flattening the papers within the container.

It has become more important to recycle as much material as possible in order to prevent needless depletion of natural resources and pollution of the environment by chemical by-productsof those processes that are used to convert raw natural materials into staple products such as newsprint. Accordingly, it is now of ecological value to recycle newspapers, and this is being done by large scale collection of newspapers discarded by householders.
However, the bundling of newspapers by cord tying involves considerable nuisance and leaves the papers exposed to rain and weather.
The invention provides a disposable packaging container that can be used for storing the papers as they accumulate daily, and which is relatively weatherproof.
According to the invention, there is provided a generally rectangular container having a bottom wall, side walls connected to the bottom wall, and a pair of top panels each connected to a correspondng side wall and supported thereby. The top panels are disposed in opposing relation with their edges spaced-apart to define an opening for insertion of the newspapers or other sheet-like material to be packaged. The bottom wall has length and width dimensions approximately equal to those of the paper material to be packaged, but the length dimension of the insertion opening is less than the bottom wall length due to the reduction afforded by the top panels. Thus, even though the insertion opening width is substantially the full width of the bottom wall, the packaged papers are retained between the bottom wall and top panels due to the overhang presented by the top panels. The papers are easily slipped into the container one or two at a time simply by bending them over enough to slip under the top panels and then flattening the papers within the container.
After the last paper has been slipped into the container, the total number of papers in the container being determined by the height of the side walls, a weatherproof plastic or cardboard sheet is then slipped under the top panels and secured by a tie member to hold all papers within the container and protect them against weather. The tie member passes through the container and is connected to the bottom wall, extending therefrom over a length sufficient to pass around the side walls and encompass the insertion opening, with sufficient excess to allow the ends of the tie member to be knotted together.
While the container of the instant invention can be fabricated in a variety of ways, in accordance with a preferred embodiment, the bottom wall, side walls and top panels are all parts of a common sheet of material folded and cut along predetermined lines.
The invention furthermore provides a pedestal that engages the bottom wall and a side wall of the container to support it in an upright inclined attitude with the insertion opening presented for easy access.
For a better understanding of the invention and its various advantages, reference should be had to the accompanying drawing and the following detailed description.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING In the drawing:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a container constructed in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the container shown in FIG. 1 as seen set up in an associated holder stand.
FIG. 3 is a developed view of the container shown in FIG. 1 showing how the container can be made by cutting and folding a sheet of paperboard.
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the container shown in FIG. 1 as taken along line 44 therein.
DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION FIGS. 1 and 4 exemplify a container 10 for packaging newspapers and other sheet-like material. Container 10 is generally a rectangular shaped box and has a bottom wall 11, a first pair of side walls 12 and second pair of side walls 13 shorter than walls 12. The walls 12 and 13 are connected to bottom wall 11 and their height determines the capacity of container 10. Typically, walls 12 and 13 are of equal height and sufficient to cover the stacked thickness of about 10 days ordinary newspaper editions, which is approximately 4 to 5 inches.
The invention further provides a holder stand 21, shown in FIG. 2, having pedestal pieces 22 disposed to engage the bottom wall 11 and a side wall 13 of container 10 to hold it in an upright inclined attitude for easier insertion of newspapers.
A pair of top panels 14 are connected each to a corresponding side wall 13 for support thereby and extension therefrom with their edges 15 spaced-apart to define an opening 20 for the insertion of the newspapers to be packaged.
As seen better in FIG. 1, the container 10 is provided with a tie cord 18 that is connected to bottom wall 11, as by adhesive strips 19, and extends transversely across wall 11 passing out through openings 21 expediently located at the corner joint between each side wall 12 and bottom wall 11. The length of cord 18 extending beyond the width of wall 11 is sufficient to go across both walls 12, encompass the opening 20 and form a knot joining the ends of cord 18 so as to secure the newspapers 16 between bottom wall 11 and top panels 14.
The dimensions of top panels 14 are, as measured parallel to walls 13, substantially the full span of each wall 13, ie equal to the full width of bottom wall 11, and in the transverse direction, as measured parallel to walls 12, are expediently about 4 to 6 inches. This will give a top panel 14 overhand (4 to 6 inches) at each end of container 10 that is sufficient for most ordinary newspapers, and of course, these dimensions can be changed as becomes advantageous for the size of sheet material.
While the container 10 can be fabricated by joining together separate pieces of material such as weatherproofed cardboard, etc. the invention contemplates a container 10 construction in which the bottom wall 11, side walls 12 and 13 and both top panels 14 are all parts of a common sheet 30 of material that has been cut and folded along predetermined lines as shown in FIG. 3.
Accordingly, sheet 30 can be considered as having a central portion that defines bottom wall 11 to which side walls 12 and 13 are hingedly connected along fold lines 31, 32, and in which top panels 14 are hingedly connected to respective side walls 13 along fold lines 33:
To assemble a container 10 from a sheet 30, flap pieces 36 and 37 are folded against their adjoining side walls 12 and top panels 14 temporarily to allow the pieces of sheet 30 which form side walls 12 and 13 to be folded up at right angles to the bottom wall 11 piece. To secure each pair of adjoining walls 12 and 13, the flaps 36 are laid flat against the inside face of respective walls 13 and fastened thereto as by gluing or stapling. With flaps 36 secured to walls 13, top panels 14 are folded down parallel to wall 11 about respective lines 33 and flaps 37 are tucked in and secured to the inside faces of walls 12.
To allow the container 10 to be shipped in a substantially pre-assembled, but flat-folded condition, sheet 30 is provided with a center fold line 40 and diagonal fold lines 41 and 42. The diagonal fold lines 41 in walls 12 allow the walls 12 and 13 to be folded inwardly flat against wall 11 even after the flaps 36 are secured to walls 13, and flaps 37 are secured to walls 12.
