Definitions

  • a retaining flap is disposed on each side edge of the retaining strap and is joined thereto along a fold line so that the retaining flaps engage the side walls of adjacent articles in the lower tier and also the lower surfaces of the interconnected flanges of the articles in the lower tier to hold those articles within the package.
  • Article holding means may be disposed at the corners of the carrier and serves to engage cutaway areas at the junction between interconnected flanges and thus prevents dislodgment of the articles in the upper tier through the open ends of the wrapper.
  • an economical carrier which takes advantage of the flanged connections between two or more articles and provides a package in which at least two articles having interconnected flanges at their upper ends are stacked in tiers with one pair of articles atop another pair and the carrier simply constitutes a top panel which overlies the tops of the articles in the top tier together with side panels which are interconnected at their upper edges to the opposite side edges of the top panel and which extend to a level adjacent the flanges of the articles in the lower tier together with a retaining strap which is interconnected at its ends to the lower edges of the side panels and which extends between the side walls of a pair of articles in the lower tier and which is disposed below the interconnected flanges of the top flanges of the articles in the lower tier.
  • Retaining flaps are foldably joined to the side edges of the retaining strap and engage the articles.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an assembled carrier formed according to the invention and in which the lower portions of the articles in the lower tier are broken away for simplicity and clarity;
  • FIG. 2A is a side view of a pair of primary containers having flanges at their upper ends which are interconnected;
  • FIG. 2B is a plan view of the arrangement shown in FIG. 2A;
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view of a blank from which the carrier is formed as shown in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is a side view of the carrier shown in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view taken along the line designated 5-5 in FIG. 4; and in which FIG. 6 is a plan view of a blank constructed according to a modification of the invention.
  • one tier of containers such as Cl and C2 is disposed atop another tier of similar containers designated C3 and C4 and in coincidental relationship therewith.
  • the arrangement as shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5 constitute a secure package because the two tiers are secured in place and maintained as a group bythe carrier blank shown in FIG. 3
  • top panel 1 which includes a locking tab 2 foldably joined to a side edge thereof along fold line 3 together with a side panel 4 which is foldably joined to a side edge of top panel 1 along fold line 5.
  • a retaining strap 6 is interconnected at one end 7 with the bottom edge of side panel 4 and at its other end retaining strap 6 is interconnected along fold line 8 with the bottom edge of side panel 9.
  • a lap panel 10 is foldably joined along a fold line 11 with the upper edge of side panel 9.
  • the carrier as shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5 is assembled by simply stacking the tiers of containers one atop another as shown and by securing the carrier blank of FIG. 3 in position with the top panel 1 disposed atop the tops of articles C1 and C2 and overlying their flanges and with the side panels 4 and 9 disposed alongside the side walls of containers C1 and C2, the retaining strap 6 being interposed between articles C3 and C4 and beneath the interconnected flanges F3 and F4.
  • a locking aperture designated by the numeral 12 is formed in side panel 9 by striking from that panel a pair of retaining tabs 13 and 14 which are foldably joined to side panel 9 and to lap panel 10 along fold line 15 and 11 respectively.
  • the locking tab 2 is simply driven through the aperture 12 and maintained at a desired angle by the retaining tabs 13 and 14 as is best shown in FIG. 5.
  • This locking structure occupies the notch N1 best shown in FIG. 2B and serves to aid in holding containers C1 and C2 within the wrapper.
  • holding means 16 is provided and occupies the notch N2 to aid in holding the containers C1 and C2 against dislodgment through the open ends of the wrapper.
  • Holding means 16 comprises a holding panel 17 struck from side panel 4 and foldably joined thereto along fold line 18 together with holding panel 19 struck from a top panel 1 and foldably joined thereto along fold line 20.
  • Holding panels 18 and 19 are foldably joined to each other along fold line 21 which with the parts occupying a flat plane asv shown in FIG. 3 is coincident with the fold line 5.
  • a pair of retaining flaps 22 and 23 are foldably joined to the side edges of retaining strap 6 along arcuate elliptical fold lines 24 and 25 respectively.
  • the strap 6 is disposed underneath the interconnected flanges F3 and F4 and as is clearly shown in FIG. 4 serves to secure the containers C3 and C4 in place within the wrapper.
  • the end portions 28 and 29 of flap 23 snugly engage the lower surface of flange F4 and thus aid in securing the lower tier of articles snugly in position within the wrapper.
  • end portions 26 and 27 of flap 22 engage flange F3.
  • the dimension X in FIG. 3 represents the narrowest width of strap 6 and this dimension generally corresponds to the distance X in FIG. 4 between containers C3 and C4.
  • the modification of the invention as represented by the blank shown in FIG. 6, is similar in all essential respects to the blank shown in FIG. 3.
  • the modification of FIG. 6 differs in that the retaining flange 22A is foldably joined to the side edges of retaining strap 6A along a straight fold line 24A and one end of retaining flap 22A is interconnected with the side wall 9A by a web panel 30 which is foldably joined along fold line 31 to an end of retaining flap 22A and to side wall 9A along a fold line 32.
  • a web panel 33 is interconnected with the retaining flap 22A along fold line 34 and with side wall 4A along a fold line 35.
  • retaining flap 23A is interconnected with side wall 9A by a web panel 36 which is foldably joined along fold line 37 to one end of retaining flap 23A and to side wall 9A along a fold line 38. At the other end, retaining flap 23A is foldably joined to web panel 39 along fold line 40 and web panel 39 is foldably joined along a fold line 41 to side wall 4A.
  • a pair of retaining tabs 42 and 43 are used and are integral with or secured to the outer edges of retaining flaps 22A and 23A respectively. These retaining tabs are inserted into the apertures designated N1 and N2 which taken together define composite apertures into which tabs 42 and 43 protrude.
  • tabs 42 and 43 are constructed with tapered side edges which aid in guiding the tabs into a composite opening N1, N2. The tabs 42 and 43 when captured in apertures N1, N2 hold the flaps 22A and 23A against sidewise collapse and thus strenghen the retaining strap 6A. For some applications of the invention the tabs 42 and 43 are not used.
  • FIG. 6 The blank of FIG. 6 is manipulated into package forming relation with the primary packages as described above in connection with FIGS. 1-5 inclusive.
  • An aperture designated by the numeral 44 is disposed astride the fold line 11A and a similar aperture 45 is disposed astride the fold line 3A.
  • the apertures 44 and 45 are in close proximity to each other and are in substantial coincidence.
  • a finger gripping aperture 46 may be formed in top panel 1 to facilitate carrying the package where the package includes eight or more articles.
  • a carrier for packaging a plurality of flanged articles arranged in two coincidental tiers with each tier comprising at least two articles having interconnected flanges at their upper ends said carrier comprising a top panel overlying the tops of the articles of the top tier, a pair of side panels interconnected with the side edges of the top panel and extending downwardly with their lower edges at approximately the level of the tops of the articles in the lower tier, and a retaining strap having its ends joined respectively to the lower edges of said side panels and disposed below the interconnected flanges and between the side walls of adjacent articles in the lower tier.
  • retaining flaps are foldably joined to the side edges of said retaining strap and arranged with at least portions thereof in face contacting relation with the side walls of adjacent articles in the lower tier.
  • a carrier according to claim 2 wherein the end portions of the outer edges of said retaining flaps engage the lower surfaces of the interconnected flanges of the lower tier.
  • a carrier according to claim 2 wherein the fold lines adjoining said retaining flaps to said retaining strap are of arcuate configuration.
  • a carrier according to claim 2 wherein a web panel is interconnected between each end of each retaining flap and the adjacent side wall.
  • inwardly projecting holding means is disposed at the junction be tween at least one side panel and the associated side edge of said top panel and disposed within a cutaway portion of the flanges of the top tier of articles to prevent dislodgment of the top tier of articles from the carr1er.
