Definitions

  • This invention relates to carriers for the packaging of multiple articles such as bottles and which is particularly suitable for protecting bottled beverages whose organoleptic properties can be affected by ultraviolet light.
  • the inner sleeves are provided to form separating partitions between the individual bottles and require a consid-- erable amount of packaging material to achieve this function. Furthermore, the inner sleeves are constructed so that edge portions of the outer sleeve may be tucked into slotted portions of the inner sleeves in order to secure the outer sleeve to the inner sleeves.
  • the present invention seeks to provide for a wrap-around article carrier, separate end closure elements to close the ends of the carrier by a closure element which is simple to form, which uses a relatively small amount of packaging material which is applied to only the end most articles in the carrier and which is held in position simply by cooperation between the endmost articles and the main packaging sleeve.
  • a closure element which is simple to form, which uses a relatively small amount of packaging material which is applied to only the end most articles in the carrier and which is held in position simply by cooperation between the endmost articles and the main packaging sleeve.
  • the end closure elements provide separating partitions for the bottles since the main sleeve is tightened to bring the bottles into close clustered relationship.
  • the invention provides a wrap-around type article carrier having a plurality of articles secured therein, which carrier comprises a pair of side walls, a top wall and a bottom wall, interconnected to form a sleeve, a separate tubular end closure element telescoped over at least one article disposed at one end of the carrier, said closure element comprising a front panel of a size and configuration substantially to close an end of the carrier, a pair of side panels joined respectively to the end edges of said front panel, and a back panel joined to the edges of said side panels remote from said front panels (as it is known from IT-A-665,218), characterized in that said closure element is retained within said sleeve by the article disposed at said one end and in that the said end article is retained in said carrier by article retaining apertures formed in said sleeve for receiving parts only of the bases and tops of the packaged articles.
  • the basic blank 'B' forming the main sleeve 'M' for the carrier 'C' is shown. More specifically the numeral 1 designates the top wall of the carrier to the side edges of which sloping panels 2 and 3 are joined respectively along fold lines 4 and 5. At each end of top wall 1, an end panel 1 a is joined thereto along fold line 1b. End panels 1a are further joined to the sloping panels by means of web panels 1 c. Side walls 6 and 7 are joined to lower edges of sloping panels 2 and 3 along fold lines 8 and 9. To complete the basic elements of the carrier, bottom wall panels.10 and 11 are foldably joined to the lower edges of side walls 6 and 7 respectively along fold lines 12 and 13.
  • multiple neck receiving apertures a are formed in sloping panels 2 and 3 and, in similar fashion, multiple heel receiving apertures b are formed in the lower portions of side walls 6 and 7.
  • machine tightening apertures c are formed in bottom wall panels 10 and 11; locking tabs d are formed in bottom wall panel 11 and locking apertures e are formed in bottom wall panel 10.
  • a closure element in the form of a sleeve 's' is provided and comprises front panel 14. To the top edges of front panel 14, an upper panel 15 is joined thereto along fold line 16. Similarly side panel 17 is joined to a side edge of front panel 14 along fold line 18. Back panel 19 is joined to side panel 17 along fold line 20 and the back panel is cut away lower than the front panel at 19a to allow for nesting of a pair of blanks which form sleeve 's'. Side panel portion 21 is joined to front panel 14 along fold line 22 and side panel portion 23 is joined to back panel 19 along fold line 24. Side panel portions 21 and 23 combine to form the side panel of the closure sleeve opposite side panel 17.
  • closure sleeve shown in FIG. 7 can be nested with an adjacent closure sleeve by means of the cooperation between upper panel 15 of one blank and the recessed portion 19a of an adjoining blank as shown by the phantom lines in FIG. 7.
  • the articles to be packaged are placed on a carrier blank as shown in FIG. 3.
  • a closure sleeve as shown in FIG. 2 is simply slipped over the end two articles at each end of the carrier as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the elements of the main blank are simply wrapped around the articles whereby the necks of the articles are inserted into neck receiving apertures 'a' and the heels of the articles are inserted into heel receiving apertures 'b'.
  • the blank is simply locked in position by the known cooperation between locking tabs 'd' and locking apertures 'e'.
  • upper panel 15 is folded inwardly of the carrier along fold line 16 preferably at an angle of greater than 90° with respect to the inner face of the front panel 14 ( Figure 1) and the end panels 1a are folded downwardly respectively in overlapping face contacting relation with the outer surface of auxiliary panels 15.
  • This operation is best shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • the carrier then appears as shown in FIG. 1 and the contents thereof are protected from damaging effects of light.
  • This invention would also be well adapted for use in connection with a wrap-around carrier of the shrink film variety.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 The modified form of the closure sleeve is shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. More specifically this version of the closure sleeve comprises similar front and back panels 25 and 26 respectively. Upper panels 27 and 28 are foldably joined respectively to front panel 25 and back panel 26 along fold lines 29 and 30. Also side panel 31 is joined to front and back panels 25 and 26, respectively along fold lines 32 and 33. The opposite side panel comprises side panel portions 34 and 35 which are joined respectively to front and back panels 25 and 26 along fold lines 36 and 37. To form the closure sleeve as shown in FIG. 8, it is simply necessary to adhere side panel portion 34 to side panel portion 35 as described in connection with the closure sleeve shown in FIG. 7.
