Definitions

  • the invention relates to cartons and more particularly to a carton for multiple articles having an opening feature for facilitating removal of individual articles.
  • Cartons for encasing multiple articles are useful for enabling consumers to obtain and transport a desired quantity of individual articles such as bottles or cans of beer or other beverages.
  • a multiple-pack of articles is obtained and transported to, e.g., the consumer's home, the consumer then desires to remove the articles from the carton.
  • the articles may be completely removed at one time, or may be removed in small groups of articles, or as individual articles.
  • the present invention provides an access opening for a carton that is comprised of two or more adjacent portions, one or more of which may be removed to provide access to the carton contents.
  • the present invention in one aspect, provides a carton for packaging a plurality of articles, comprising top and bottom panels interconnected by a pair of opposed side walls to form a generally tubular structure. An end wall is provided at each end of the tubular structure to at least partially close each end. Means for providing access to the articles includes a first detachable portion extending across a part of the top panel and at least a part of one of the opposed side walls.
  • a second detachable portion is disposed adjacent to the first detachable portion and extends across a further part of the top panel and into a part of one of the end walls, whereby removal of the first detachable portion and the second detachable portion defines an access opening formed from portions of the top panel, the one opposed side wall, and the one end wall.
  • the access means may further include a third detachable portion disposed adjacent to the first detachable portion and extending across at least a portion of the other end walls, in which case the access opening is further formed from a portion of the other end wall.
  • the first detachable portion may extend across the top panel at locations remote from the end walls.
  • the second and third detachable portions then each extend across a portion of the top panel adjacent to the first detachable portion.
  • the first detachable portion may further extend at least partially into the other of the opposed end walls.
  • the second detachable portion may extend at least partially into the one opposed side wall. Removal of either detachable portion defines an access opening formed from portions of the top panel, the one or two opposed side walls, and an end wall. Removal of both detachable portions then defines an access opening formed from portions of the top panel, at least one of the opposed side walls, and both of the end walls.

  • the carton may then be folded along fold lines 134, 136, 138, and 140 to form the open tube shown in Fig. 9. In this condition, the carton is ready to be loaded with its contents (e.g., bottles) through one or both of its open ends. Loading is typically done with high-speed beverage packaging machinery as is known in the art.
  • Fig. 10 shows how, once loaded, one of the ends of the carton may be closed by first folding inwardly end flaps 124 and 132. Glue is applied to the flaps, and bottom end flap 133 is folded upwardly, whereafter top end flap 128 is folded downwardly. The folded and glued end flaps 124, 128, 132, and 133 together form an end wall for the carton. The opposite end of the carton is closed by a similar operation, both of which are typically performed on the carton loading machinery. After closure, the carton appears as shown in Fig. 11. In this condition, the carton may be delivered to a point of purchase for purchase by a consumer. In Fig. 11, the access portions 192 and 194 are denoted within brackets.
  • Fig. 12 shows finger access opening 175 which may be easily opened in order to start tearing the carton open. Either or both of portions 192 and 194 may be opened. For example, pulling upwardly on portion 192 will cause tear line 170 to separate along top panel 114. Further pulling of the portion 192 will cause tearing along tear lines 174, and then 182 (and 184 and 188, hidden on opposite side), causing portion 192 to separate from side wall panels 112 and 116, at which point portion 192 may be folded outward as shown in Fig. 13. Note the position of reinforcing flaps 166 that reinforce handle aperture 156. Portion 192 may be left hingedly attached to the carton, for reclosing, or may be removed as shown in Fig. 14. As can be seen, the packaged bottles B are readily accessible for removal.

  • the consumer may grasp the remaining portion of top wall panel 114 lying adjacent to tear line 170 and/or at access opening 175, and pull outwardly. This will cause any remaining intact portions of tear lines 174 and 184 on the side panels 112 and 116 respectively to tear, with the tear propagating into tear lines 180 and 186 respectively on side end panels 122 and 130.
