摘要:
A set-up basket style article carrier has a bottom panel, first and second opposed sidewalls attached to the bottom panel, riser panels, a handle attached to the riser panels, transverse partition straps extending between the riser panels and sidewalls, and tapered end panels attached to the riser panels. A blank for the article carrier has a bottom panel, a sidewall joined to the bottom panel along a horizontal fold line, a handle assembly panel joined to the sidewall along a horizontal fold line, a tapered end panel joined to the sidewall along a vertical fold line and to the handle assembly panel along horizontally extending fold lines, and a riser panel joined to the end panel along a fold line offset from vertical to accommodate taper in the tapered end panel. Tapering the end panels permits slanting of the sidewalls so that the bottoms of the sidewalls are closer to the center riser panels than the top of the sidewalls, and the bottom area between the sidewalls, riser panels and transverse partition straps is smaller than the top area between the sidewalls, riser panels and transverse partition straps. A container traveling easily through the top area is grasped in the bottom area by a sidewall, riser panel and partition strap or end panel to reduce pressure exerted on the bottom panel and sagging thereby allowing thinner material to be used for the carrier.

A basket-style article carrier (10) with straight, non-stepped side walls (26, 72) and end walls (52/86, 112/122) wherein partition portions containing cell-forming partition straps (34a, 34b, 64a, 64b) are struck from a multiple-ply handle structure and are adhered to a central support member (104) which is also struck from the multiple-ply handle structure. The multiple-ply handle structure which includes handle panels (44, 46, 94, 96) lie within the perimeter of the side wall and end structure panels of the blank (16) for forming the carrier.

A carton blank formed utilizing a pattern layout with adjacent blanks nesting with each other to minimize the material required and reduce waste between adjacent blanks. The formed carton is a modular carrier with a central hand grip opening and a peripheral wall with a pair of reduced height corner portions, and is adapted to lock to a laterally adjacent duplicate carrier.

A basket-style carrier having reinforced corner areas and reinforced end panels. Bottom panel reinforcing flaps are connected to the end panels and to gusset panels which in turn are connected to a bottom panel flap. The gusset panels lie between the reinforcing flaps and the bottom panel. The end panels include cutouts from which end panel reinforcing flaps are formed. The end panel reinforcing flaps are adhered to the end panels adjacent the cutouts. Side panel cutouts have cover flaps foldably attached. When folded into the carrier, the cover flaps form bottle stabilizers and also cover the pricing code on packaged articles.
摘要:
A basket-style carrier containing openings in the side and end panels through which the lower portions of packaged articles can be seen. Flaps connected to one or more opening edges are folded into the interior of the carrier so as to block the pricing bar code on adjacent articles without obstructing the view through the openings. The openings extend down to the bottom panel but do not interfere with connections to riser panels connecting a handle panel to the end panels. The openings also allow the carriers to fit into molded packing trays of the type which include inwardly extending reinforcing elements. The carrier is designed to allow the reinforcing elements to extend into the carrier through the carrier openings.

A basket-style carrier designed to be automatically squared during fabrication. Squaring tabs at the lower ends of riser panels extend into slots in the end edges of the outer bottom panel flap to align the bottom panel flaps. The tabs are then folded over and glued to the outer face of the outer bottom panel flaps to strengthen the bottom panel.

A carrier for a plurality of objects arranged in at least two rows includes substantially parallel first and second side walls, substantially parallel first and second end walls interconnecting the side walls, a medial panel extending between and connected to the first and second end walls, the medial panel being disposed between and substantially parallel to the first and second side walls, a primary bottom wall connected and extending between lower portions of said first and second side walls, and a lock for maintaining the carrier in an erect condition, the lock including a lock body connected to a lower edge of the medial panel and depending downwardly therefrom, a first retention tab disposed along a first side edge of the lock body spaced from the medial panel, and a second retention tab disposed along a second side edge of the lock body spaced from the medial panel, whereby the first and second retention tabs define a retention width for the lock extending between the outermost portions of the first and second retention tabs, and a throat for the lock body having a throat width extending between the first and second edges between the retention tabs and the medial panel, and wherein the primary bottom wall defines a locking aperture therein for cooperative engagement with the locking tab when the carrier is in an erected condition, the aperture having a length less than the retention width and greater than the throat width.
摘要:
A process and an apparatus for packaging containers in a carrier in two rows, in which a first half carrier is formed from a first blank by bringing a bottom portion into a horizontal position, placing a first longitudinal wall portion perpendicularly thereto, folding two side wall portions and partition flaps cut from the first longitudinal wall portion into a position perpendicular to the first longitudinal wall portion, inserting containers between the side wall portions and the flaps and bringing a second longitudinal wall portion into a position parallel to the first longitudinal wall portion and connecting it with the side wall portions, after which, in a similar manner, a second half carrier with containers is formed from an identical blank and both half carriers are composed by connecting two corresponding longitudinal wall portions to form a carrier with two rows of containers. The blanks can be made with a minimum of waste material.

The bottom structure of a heavy duty basket style article carrier is reinforced by an anchoring panel foldably joined to a side edge of bottom panels on each side of the carrier and is foldably joined to a first web panel to which a second web panel is foldably joined, each anchoring panel being secured to the associated bottom panel and the two web panels being collapsible along a common fold line when the carrier is collapsed and an attachment flap is foldably joined to the second web panel on each side of the carrier and is yieldably joined to the lower part of the adjacent end wall panel to form a yieldable lower bottom portion of the associated end wall panel thereby to facilitate locking the carrier in set up condition.
摘要:
This invention relates to a basket carrier of the type where each of the carrier's cells is loaded through the carrier's open bottom, the bottom being closed by the carrier's floor after the carrier has been loaded. Preferably, at least one glue tab is foldably connected to one of the floor and the center wall, the glue tab being glued to the other of the floor and the center wall after the carrier has been loaded with bottles. This securely connects the carrier's center wall to the floor which enhances the vertical support for bottles within the carrier cells, and also which aids in maintenance of squared corners for the carrier during use.
