The end wall arrangement is formed from at least three end flaps (80, 84, 83) hingedly connected to corresponding wall panels (12, 14, 16) of the structure, wherein one of the flaps (80) is provided with a locking means (100) to engage the other flaps (84, 83), thereby to secure the flaps (80, 84, 83) together.
Abstract:
An article carrier and blank for forming an article carrier for accommodating one or more articles comprising a plurality of panels for forming an outer carton (O) and an article support structure (A) that is slidable within the outer carton. A reclosable cover flap (C) is hinged to one (18) of the panels forming the outer carton, wherein the support structure (A) is secured to the cover flap (C) and is slidable in response to moving the cover flap thereby to reveal the article through an opening in the outer carton made by the cover flap.
Abstract:
A package (P) comprising: a group of articles (A) arranged in one or more tiers; an engaging member (F); and a handle attached to the group of articles via the engaging member. The handle comprising: a handle portion (312; 312'; 214a'/214b') structured and arranged for being grasped by a user and at least one hook (316a/316b; 316c/316d; 316a'/313a'/316b'/313b'; 313c'/316c'/316d'/313d'; 213a'/216a'/216b'/213b') coupled to the handle portion and comprising at least one tooth (330; 330'; 230'). The at least one hook comprising at least two hook panels (316a, 316b) folded with respect to one another and each comprising at least one tooth (330; 330'; 230'), at least part of the handle being received in an aperture defined in the engaging member such that the at least one tooth of each of the at least two hook panels engages the engaging member and thereby the group of articles, whereby the handle is connected to the group of articles.
Abstract:
A carton includes an open top container (10) and a separate top closure (20). The upper periphery of the open top container is reinforced by reinforcing panels (76, 88, 96) and the top closure is releasable from the open top container.
Abstract:
A carton for holding a plurality of articles (A) which carton comprises a top wall (53, 54), a base wall (58, 60, 72, 76), opposed side walls (12, 16) and opposed end walls (14, 18). A divider structure for separating adjacent articles is formed from at least one of the end walls (14, 18). The divider structure includes first and second inwardly folded divider panels (30, 32) hinged to one another and to the opposed side walls (12, 16) and an inwardly folded support panel (36) hinged to and extending between the respective lower portions of the first and second divider panels (30, 32).
Abstract:
A composite package includes a preliminary package (70) and a carrying handle structure (60). The preliminary package includes a group of articles (C), contained and secured together as a unit by a wrapping film (80) disposed around the group. The carrying handle structure (60) is wrapped around the preliminary package and is provided with at least one foldable tab (100) that is forcibly pushed and folded inwardly of the carrying handle structure such that the wrapping film is punctured and at least part of the at least one foldable tab is disposed within the preliminary package for interlocking the carrying handle structure to the preliminary package.
Abstract:
A carton (160) retains at least one flanged article (C). The carton (160) includes a gripping mechanism having at least one tab (122) foldably connected to the carton (160). The carton (160) is configured relative to the gripping mechanism such that the at least one tab (122) is foldable to contact a flange (F) of an article (C) when folded and held in the carton (160) as well as to create a recessed handle area proximate an edge of the carton (160).
Abstract:
A wraparound carrier includes lockable retaining structures (140, 142, 144, 150, 152, 154) for maintaining the security and position of containers (C) in a package (100) during the process of wrapping the carrier around an article group. Each of the retaining structures includes a pair of side flaps (200, 202) that fold inwardly to cradle the heel of a container that is received in an aperture (A) along which the side flaps are hingedly connected. A pair of locking tabs (212, 213, 214, 215) is formed in part from the side flaps and in part from an adjacent carrier panel. The locking tabs cooperate to hold the side flaps in operative positions before the carrier contacts the article group, thereby eliminating the need for special packaging equipment.
