- Na i-65 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A packing arrangement for containers, the combination wherein containers having closures are wrapped in groups and are loaded as Wrapped groups in a walled tray, and wherein the loaded trays are stacked one atop another, the frictional engagement between the wrappers of a tray and the bottom of a loaded tray superimposed thereon being increased by the application of discrete patches of a high friction material adhered to the wrapper in the portions thereof overlying the closures of said containers.
- Beer and many other beverages are commonly merchandised in packages containing six containers of the product arranged in two side-by-side rows.
- these wrapped containers of beer are commonly called G-packs and in most cases four such packs are held in Walled trays disposed one atop another for purposes of display and for economy of space.
- displacement of the trays with respect to each other is not uncommon by reason of the very low frictional force between the lower surfaces of the tray and the wrapper.
- Another object is to provide a packing arrangement for containers where the wrappers for the containers applied with discrete patches of a thermoplastic material are in a hot and moltened condition, such patches upon cooling presenting points of maximum frictional engagement between the wrapper and the underside of the superimposed tray.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a packing arrangement having the improvements according to the present invention embodied therein;
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a portion of a wrapper for a group of containers, said wrapper having discrete patches of high friction material applied thereto;
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an enlarged scale showing the discrete patches applied to the wrapper of FIG. 2;
- FIG. 4 is a vertical sectional view, to an enlarged scale, certain parts being shown in elevation, taken along the line 44 of FIG. 1 looking in the direction of the arrows.
- the improved packing arrangement according to the present invention is referred to by the reference numeral 10 and for the purpose of packing a plurality of containers 11, each having a closure 12.
- the containers 11 are of what is commonly known in the trade as glass throw-away or stubbies with crown closures. It is equally within the scope of the invention herein that the containers 11 be of the conventional export bottle variety, or in the form of either steel or aluminum chimed cans.
- wrappers 13 may in certain cases, be provided with end panels 21 at each end thereof to enclose the containers 11 against light, which is indicated in those instances where the containers 11 are made of clear rather than dark glass.
- the wrappers 13 may also be provided with folddown tabs 19 to provide spaced openings for engagement by the fingers of the hand for the transport of the containers 11 in the wrapper 13.
- the wrappers 13 together with their containers 11 are arranged in groups of four to be held in a tray 22 having a bottom panel 23, opposed side walls 24 and opposed end walls 26, the four 6-packs shown being held in the walled tray 22 in such a fashion as not to be able to shift laterally or longitudinally therein.
- the low friction between the top surface 20 and the underside of the bottom panel 23 of the superimposed tray 22 is such that the superimposed tray 22 may be easily displaced.
- a discrete patch P of a high friction material is applied to the top surface 20 of the wrapper 13 at portions thereof overlying the closures 12 of the container 11 therein.
- the patch P is applied in the form of a ribbon approximately in length and having a thickness and a Width of approximately
- the patch P is applied in the form of what is known in the art as hot melt, this material being a mixture of a thermoplastic polyolefin such as polyethylene or polypropylene combined with any suitable resin material, and any suitable wax.
- Such material is known in the trade as Swifts Y- hot melt non-skid, which is an example of but one form of a commercially available material having the property of being able to be appled to paperboard and to be adhered thereto. Moreover, the desirable property of the material is such that it remains hard at ordinarily experienced ambient temperatures and will not discolor the wrapper to which it is applied.
- the material has such a characteristic that While the amount of frictional engagement by the panels 20 of the wrappers 13 and the underside of the tray is increased, the surfaces may readily be separated without tearing of the wrapper 13.
- the high friction material includes a polymer of the olefin series.
- the material includes a polymer in the series including polyethylene and polypropylene.
- the high friction material comprises a thermoplastic material applied in the hot and melted condition thereof.
- thermoplastic material includes a polyolefin, resin and wax.
