Abstract
A single piece of cardboard stamped to facilitate the folding of same into a container for housing four glasses in spaced relation one from the other. A cardboard blank is disclosed with various fold lines provided therein; a sequenced folding operation produces a container consisting of a double thickness bottom, eight triangularly shaped side walls and a top. Both the top and bottom are provided with four pockets for isolating four glasses one from the other.
Claims28
A blank for folding into a container holding four glasses, said blank comprising a one-piece construction having fold lines and edges defining:
- (a) a first set of four triangularly shaped display members;
- (b) a second set of four triangularly shaped side members interleaved with said first set such that the apexes of each set extend toward the bases of the other set with the bases of said second set not being co-linear;
- (c) a third set of four generally triangularly shaped top forming members each having at least a portion of the base thereof defined by a fold line common to a portion of the base of a respective one of the first set of triangularly shaped display members with both of the outermost members of the third set having a divider extending from the outermost edge thereof;
- (d) a fourth set of only three triangularly shaped divider members interleaved with the third set such that the apexes of each set extend toward the bases of the other set, (e) rectangular bottom forming members extending outwardly from the base of at least two of the triangularly shaped side members in the second set and means connected with said bottom forming members providing an intersecting folded construction thereof;
- whereby folding the blank produces an eight sided carton for four glasses having four pockets on the bottom and four pockets on the top thereof.
A blank for folding into a container holding four glasses, said blank comprising a one-piece construction having fold lines and edges defining:
- (a) a first set of four triangularly shaped display members each having a cut out portion therein;
- (b) a second set of four triangularly shaped side members interleaved with said first set such that the apexes of each set extend toward the bases of the other set;
- (c) a third set of four generally triangular shaped top forming members each having at least a portion of the base thereof defined by a fold line common to a portion of the base of a respective one of the first set of triangularly shaped members and another portion of the base thereof extending into the cut out of the corresponding display members of the first set;
- and (d) a rectangular bottom forming member extending outwardly from the base of each triangularly shaped side member in the second set with each bottom forming member having a slit therein;
- whereby folding the blank produces an eight sided carton for four glasses having four pockets on the bottom each having upstanding side walls for retaining a glass therein, the glasses extending through the cut out portion of the associated triangularly shaped display member of the first set.
A blank for folding into a container holding four glasses, said blank comprising a one-piece construction having fold lines and edges defining:
- (a) a first set of four triangularly shaped display members each having a cut out portion with the outermost triangularly shaped display member in the first set having a first fastening member thereon;
- (b) a second set of four triangularly shaped side members interleaved with said first set such that the apexes of each set extend toward the bases of the other set with the outermost triangular member in the second set having a second fastening member thereon with the bases of said second set not being co-linear;
- (c) a third set of four generally triangularly shaped top forming members each having at least a portion of the base thereof defined by a fold line common to a portion of the base of a respective one of the first set of triangularly shaped display members with both of the outermost members of the third set having a divider extending from the outermost edge thereof;
- (d) a fourth set of only three triangularly shaped divider members interleaved with the third set such that the apexes of each set extend toward the bases of the other set;
- and (e) a rectangular bottom forming member extending outwardly from the base of each triangularly side member in the second set with each bottom forming member having slits therein and a fold line generally parallel to the base of the associated member in the second set;
- whereby folding of the blank produces an eight sided container for four glasses having four pockets on the bottom, each pocket having a double bottom thickness and upstanding side walls and four pockets on the top thereof each separated by an internal member of the carton formed by the fourth set of members and the divider, the first and second fastening members retaining the folded carton together.
A one-piece, eight sided carton having a bottom square in plan view;
- four triangularly shaped first side walls extending upwardly from the bottom and perpendicular thereto, four triangularly shaped second side walls slanting inwardly each positioned with the apex thereof at a corner of the bottom member, the side edges of the second side walls meeting the side edges of the first side walls to form the eight sided carton, a top formed of four separate triangular members each extending from the base of the associated second side wall closing the carton, and upstanding partitions dividing the bottom member into four pockets, each sized to receive an associated glass therein.
A carton having a bottom square in plan view, four triangularly shaped first side walls extending upwardly from the bottom and perpendicular thereto, four triangularly shaped second side walls slanting inwardly each positioned with the apex thereof at a corner of the bottom member, the side edges of the second side walls meeting the side edges of the first side walls to form an eight sided container, a top closing the container having four dividers integral therewith extending downwardly therefrom forming four discrete pockets, the bottom having four intersecting partitions integral therewith extending upwardly therefrom forming four discrete pockets separated by a cruciform shaped aisleway therebetween, the dividers extending downwardly from the top being in registry with the aisleway.
