Definitions

  • the carriers can support relatively large loads, they have relatively large areas available on which to place advertising, they have bottom walls which open automatically when the side edges of the folded carrier are pressed together, and they have means for holding the carrier in its open, unfolded condition automatically, without using the hand or a machine element .
  • the carriers are economical to manufacture, requiring less material than many prior carriers, and, when folded, occupy less surface area than many prior carriers so as to minimize packaging size and shipping costs when the carriers are shipped in folded form.
  • a carrier with a central support structure comprising at least one vertical support panel, a pair of foldable receptacles extending outwardly from opposite sides of the central support structure when the carrier is unfolded, and an automatically opening bottom wall in each of the receptacles .
  • the central support structure has two vertical support panels each of which has an upper handle section which extend above the foldable receptacles by a substantial distance and has a hand hole near the upper edge.
  • Each vertical support panel has at least one, and preferably two foldable reinforcement panels which are folded over onto and secured to each of said upper sections .
  • the vertical support panels are joined together along a fold line at their upper edges.
  • the reinforced vertical support panels preferably are secured to one another back-to-back. This gives a central support structure with a two-ply thickness in the lower portion, and has a four-ply, and preferably six-ply thickness in the upper handle section, which makes the carrier very strong.
  • the reinforcement panels are formed from material which otherwise would be scrap or waste material, so that the reinforcement is provided without increasing the amount of material used to make the carrier, and without extra fabrication steps in the process of making the carrier.
  • Each bottom wall preferably includes flanges extending from the lower edge of each of four side-walls for each of the receptacles, with two opposed flanges, being shaped to interlock with the other panel to hold the carrier open after it has been unfolded.
  • each of the two flanges has a lateral edge which engages a lateral edge on the other during the unfolding of the bottom structure whereby the two lateral edges engage one another to hold the carrier open.
  • each of the two interlocking flanges is, at its widest, substantially as wide as the bottom in each receptacle, so that the wide part of each flange extends substantially up to the opposite side-wall, thus providing increased strength for the bottom wall.
  • the two flanges are symmetrical with respect to one another to give a bottom of more nearly uniform strength over the entire surface of the bottom wall.
  • the two flanges are of complementary shape,- that is, one is wide where the other is narrow, etc .
  • the invention resides in a bottom wall structure for a carrier, in which two opposed bottom flanges, shaped to interlock with one another, are connected to other bottom flanges which pull the two panels together to interlock them and hold the carrier open when it is unfolded.
  • the opposed flanges are of complementary shape, overlap one another and form an upper surface for the bottom wall in which the strength is distributed over the surface of the bottom wall.
  • the bottom wall structure includes two other flanges which are interconnected with one another so that the bottom wall structures unfold automatically when the carrier is unfolded, and the carrier can be fully opened by a single opening movement.
  • a blank is provided for use in fabricating the carrier from a single piece of sheet material.
  • the blank has a pair of vertical support panels hinged together along a fold line at the top edge, with three serially-connected receptacle wall sections connected at one edge of each vertical support panel .
  • Each vertical support panel has a width substantially greater than the receptacle wall sections secured to it, thus leaving at least one, and preferably two additional panels secured to one edge of each vertical support panel in its upper handle-hole containing section.
  • Each additional panel is foldable onto one of the upper handle-hole containing sections and has a handle hole to match the handle hole in the upper section of the vertical panel when folded over on it, thereby forming a multi-layer reinforced hand-hold structure when the additional panels are secured together with the vertical panels, preferably with adhesive.
  • Extending from the outermost edge of the last panel in the series is an elongated attachment flange which is approximately as long as the vertical support panels.
  • the attachment flanges are connected together at one end along a fold line.
  • the wall sections are folded relative to one another along fold lines parallel to the vertical edges of the support panels, and the elongated attachment flanges are secured to the panels along edges to reinforce the panels and provide improved vertical lift strength for the carrier.
  • the vertical support panels can be hinged together along a fold line at the upper edges of the panels, and are left free from one another so the panels can be swung apart.
  • the panels are glued together back-to-back.
  • the invention also contemplates the provision of a carrier using such elongated attachment flanges for connecting the vertical support panels together, as well as reinforcing them.
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective view, partially broken-away, of a carrier constructed in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is a bottom plan view of the carrier shown in FIGURE 1;
  • FIGURE 3 is a top plan view of a blank used to fabricate the carrier shown in FIGURES 1 and 2 , and
  • FIGURE 4 is a top plain view of another blank used to fabricate another preferred carrier like that shown in Figures 1 and 2.
  • the carrier 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes a central support structure 12 comprising two vertical support panels 14 and 16 hinged together along their top edges 13, and either adhered together back-to-back, or, alternatively, left free to swing apart from one another.
  • Panel 16 is show only in Figure 3.
  • Reinforcement panels 18 and 20 are glued to the upper portions of the support panels 14 and 16.
  • a handle hole 22 with a guard member 24 is located in the center of each of the upper portions of the panels 14 and 16 to form a handle structure for lifting and carrying the carrier and its contents.
  • a pair of foldable receptacles 26 and 28 extend outwardly from opposite sides of the central support structure 12.
  • Each receptacle has four walls, one of which is formed by one of the vertical support panels 14 or 16.
  • the receptacle 26 has a series of side-wall panels 30, 32, and 34 connected together along fold lines and extending outwardly from the panel 14 when the carrier is unfolded.
  • receptacle 28 has a series of side- wall panels 36, 38, and 40 extending outwardly from the panel 16.
  • Each of the receptacles has a bottom wall structure 42 or 44 which opens automatically when the folded-up carrier is pressed together at the sides in the directions of the arrows 94 and 96 shown in FIG. 2 so as to quickly open and prepare the carrier for receiving objects to be carried.
  • the carrier is shown in FIG. 1 in the position it takes after the single motion pushing the edges of the folded blank together.
  • the bottom wall structure 42 or 44 is only partially unfolded.
  • Each of the bottom wall structures 42 and 44 includes four flanges, each secured to the lower edge of one of the four side-walls of each of the two receptacles 26 and 28.
  • two opposed ones of those flanges such as the uppermost flanges 46 and 47 are recessed in one section and are shaped to overlap and interlock with one another so as to hold the carrier in the unfolded condition shown in FIG. 1 without the use of one's hands or mechanisms.
  • the recesses are in opposite sections so that the flanges overlap one another and each has a lateral edge. The lateral edges are positioned so that they engage with one another such as at the location 92 shown in FIG. 1 when the flanges 46 and 47 are interlocked. This prevents the fiberboard material of which the carrier is made from folding up and thus returning to its folded condition. This holds the receptacles open to allow beverage bottles or other objects to be loaded into the carrier and press the bottom panels downwardly to flatten them.
  • the flanges are symmetrical with respect to one another, with respect to a longitudinal center line 51 and a transverse center line 53 (Figure 2) of each bottom wall. This helps to even-out the bottom strength and minimize weak spots.
  • the bottom wall structures 42 and 44 are shown in FIG. 1 with the bottom panels, such as 46, 47, in an intermediate position to which they are automatically pulled by the interconnection of the bottom flanges to unfold the bottom wall structures automatically.
  • the panels 46 and 47 are shown in positions above their lower-most positions which they will attain when a beverage bottle is deposited on top of the panels.
  • Dividers 50 and 52 (as well as dividers for the other receptacle 28, which are not shown in FIG. 1), are provided to divide each receptacle into three compartments so that each receptacle holds three bottles or other containers.
  • Each of the dividers 50, 52 has a glue tab 54 or 56 which is glued to the surface of the panel 32 or 38 opposite the central support structure.
  • the carrier 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is particularly well suited for use as a six-pack carrier for beverage containers such as bottles, etc., and is highly advantageous for use in bottling plants where the carriers are filled with beverages to be shipped to stores for sale .
  • CARRIER BLANK CARRIER BLANK
  • each of the four recessed flanges 46, 47, 48, and 49 has a tab extending outwardly from one edge.
  • the flanges 46 and 49 have a tab 82 or 122 extending from the short side edge of the flange.
  • the flanges 47 and 48 have tabs 84 and 86, respectively, extending out of a longer side edge.
  • the tab 84 in the flange 47 fits into a slot 124 in the panel 32 near the bottom edge of the panel, and the tab 82 fits into a slot 118 in the bottom edge of the panel 30 when the panel 46 is pressed to its lower-most position.
  • the tabs on the flanges 46, 47, 48, and 49 fit into slots in the side-walls which hold those panels downwardly when beverage containers or other objects are loaded into the carrier and depress the panels downwardly. This helps hold the bottom wall down solidly and minimize the chance that the carrier will accidentally close after being opened .
  • each of the bottom flanges 46-49 has an outermost edge 98, 128, 104, or 138, and an inner recessed edge 100, 130, 140, or 106.

  • a truncated triangular extension 102, 136, 146, or 108 is provided for extra strength.
  • each of the shorter side-wall panels 30, 34, 36, and 40 Extending from the lower edge of each of the shorter side-wall panels 30, 34, 36, and 40 is a triangular flange 76, 58, 64, or 70 with an attached glue tab 78, 60, 66, or 72 secured to the first flange along a fold line 80, 62, 68, or 74.
  • the glue tabs 60, 66, 72, and 78 are glued, respectively, to the flanges 49, 46, 47, and 48.
  • the glue tab is elongated, preferably to equal the width of the widest portion of each of the flanges 46-49 so as to extend as far as possible along the flange to which it is attached, thereby strengthening the bottom structure of each receptacle, without using excess material.
  • a slit 134, 114, 144, or 116 can be provided at the junction between the lateral edge and the inner edge of each of the four flanges 46-49 to provide for more positive locking engagement between the edges of adjacent panels.
  • dividers 154 and 158 with glue tabs 156 and 160 are provided for the receptacle 28 but are not shown in either of FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • Each of the dividers 50 and 154 is “nested” with another divider 52 or 158 to save material.
  • fold lines are indicated with the letter “F”, and areas to be glued, in one embodiment of the carrier, are marked with the letter “G” .
  • elongated attachment flanges 148 and 150 are secured to the outermost edge of the panels 34 and 36, respectively. The flanges 148 and 150 are attached together along the fold line 152, with a notch 162 being cut in the material adjacent the fold line 152 to match with the notch 164 at the upper edges of the vertical support panels.
  • the flanges 148 and 150 are relatively wide, and are approximately as tall as the vertical support panels, and are secured together at 152, they provide exceptional reinforcement of the edges of the vertical support panels, as well as secure anchors for the ends of the side-wall panel series forming the side-walls of the carriers. This further increase the load carrying capability of the carrier.
  • the bottom construction of the carrier 10 is very advantageous. Because the flanges 46, 47, and 48, 49 overlap one another, are symmetrical and extend completely across the bottom wall of each receptacle, the strengthening added by the flanges is well distributed over the bottom wall so as to minimize any points of weakness in the bottom wall.
  • tabs and slots can be provided as desired instead of, or in addition to, the tabs and slots shown in the drawings .
  • the carrier construction described herein can be used highly advantageously for carrying out food from a vending establishment, such as a concession stand in a sports arena, a fast food restaurant, etc.
  • Carriers specially adapted for such use are shown in my above- identified co-pending patent applications, and it is unnecessary to describe them in detail here.
  • the modifications usually would be to enlarge the compartments receiving the beverage containers to receive large cups, reduce the number of compartments, increase the height of the vertical support panels, and supply top trays with slots in the bottom to receive the vertical support panels, to enable the carrying of solid foods in the top trays, using only one hand to carry everything.
  • the vertical support panels 14, 16 can be secured together back-to-back with glue, as indicated by the "G" markings in FIG. 3.
  • the vertical support panels 14 and 16 and their reinforcing panels 18, 20 can be secured together only along fold lines 172, 170 so that the inside walls of the panels 14, 16 can bear advertising, promotional materials, etc., which the customer can access by simply swinging the two receptacles apart.
  • This is a type of carrier sometimes referred to as a "saddlebag" carrier.
  • the flange 148 is glued to the back side of panel 14, and the flange 15 is glued to the back side of panel 16.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de transport ayant une structure de panneaux de support verticale centrale, et une paire de réceptacles pliables s'étendant vers l'extérieur depuis des côtés opposés de la structure de support verticale. Les réceptacles ont des parois inférieures s'ouvrant automatiquement pourvues de panneaux inférieurs symétriques qui se chevauchent pour égaliser la résistance des parois inférieures, et minimiser des zones d'une résistance réduite. Au moins deux panneaux inférieurs opposés sont mis en forme pour un verrouillage mutuel l'un avec l'autre afin de maintenir le dispositif de transport ouvert une fois qu'il a été déplié. Des rebords de renforcement reliés allongés renforcent le dispositif de transport dans la direction verticale. Des panneaux de renforcement à deux et trois couches sont utilisés pour former une structure de poignée à quatre ou six couches pour une résistance améliorée.
