3 Claims, 7 Drawing Figures CONTAINER ASSEMBLY HAVING COMPARTMENTS AND MEANS FOR STACKING CONTAINER BLANK THE FIELD OF THE INVENTION The field of art to which the invention pertains includes container assemblies.
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In conventional-type shipping containers which are used to transport goods and materials, it is desirable to ship and store the unassembled containers using as small a space as possible. When the container is finally assembled and ready for use, it is desirable that the container structure be self-contained and not require additional materials for partitioning the container or for assembling into the final shape. In addition, where or to ship the containers partially assembled. When the containers are shipped partially assembled, storage results in large amounts of space being used until the containers are finally assembled. In addition, where the containers are shipped in multiple separate units it has been found to be time consuming to finally assemble the container.
In order to overcome the attendant disadvantages of prior art container assemblies, the present invention provides a container assembly which can be stacked flat when unassembled allowing a maximum number of containers to be shipped and stored with a minimum amount of space. In addition, when the container assembly is assembled for use, the resultant receptacle is BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG.

Specifically, the container assembly is formed of a member which when unassembled has a generally planar configuration. A plurality of hinge lines are formed in the member for enabling the member to be folded into a predetermined shape and for dividing the member into a plurality of predetermined sections. Hollow indentations are formed in the sections, the indenta- 5O tions interacting when a member is folded along the hinge lines for providing a structure of a predetermined shape. The indentations are hollow on one side of the member enabling the member to be stacked when unassembled. When the sections are folded, the indenta- FIG. 7 is a perspective view of still another form of container assembly.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, the container assemblies 12 are formed with a plurality of indentations which are hollow on one side allowing stacking of the assemblies in unassembled form as shown, The container assemblies each comprisa a central section 14 which is interconnected at hinge lines 16 and 18 to a first section 22 and a second section 24, respectively. The indentations 26 in the central section 14 are dia mond-shaped, tapering inwardly and upwardly. The indentations 28 and 32, respectively, in the first section 22 and the second section 24 are generally trapezoidal in cross section and also taper upwardly to generally a cross-sectional point. It should be noted that the indentations 26, 28 and 32 are all formed in a plane transverse to the longitudinal axis of the assembly along the hinge lines 16 and 18. As shown more clearly in the sectional view of FIG. 3, the central section 14 has bev-. elled edges 34 and 36 adjacent the hinge lines 16 and 18, respectively, which cooperate with bevelled edges 38 and 42, respectively, of the first and second sections to permit easy flexure of the sections.
Referring additionally to FIG. 4 there is shown a typical assembled version of the container of FIGS. 1 and 2. The first section 22 and second section 24 are folded along the hinge lines 16 and 18 so that the bevelled surfaces 34 and 38 and bevelled surfaces 36 and 42 abut each other. Normally, these surfaces are cut at a 45 angle so as to enable the sections 22 and 24 to be positioned in a plane perpendicular to the central section 14. In addition the diamond-shaped indentation 26 is tapered to a line 44 formed in a plane perpendicular to the hinge lines 16 and 18. The indentations 28 and 32 also taper to lines 46 and 48, respectively. Thus, when the sections 22 and 24 are folded inwardly towards each other as shown in FIG. 4, the lines 46 and 48 will abut each other and one end of the lines 46 and 48 will abut the line 44 on a diamond-shaped section 26 so as to form a generally U-shaped cross-sectional member. Thus, the structure of FIGS. 14 forms compartments, with the indentations 26, 28 and 32 together forming partitions between adjacent compartments.
Referring to FIG. 4, as shown by dotted lines, a number of U-shaped cross-sectional members can be joined together, with the sections 22 and 24 having similar shaped sections folded adjacent thereto and forming hinge lines at the oins.
Referring to FIG. 5, there is shown an alternative embodiment of the container assembly wherein the central section 52 of the container assembly joins a pair of side sections 54 and 56 which can be stacked in the manner shown in FIG. 1. The central section 52 contains a diamond-shaped indentation 58 similar to the diamond-shaped indentation 26 of FIG. 1. The indentations 62 and 64, formed in the side sections 54 and 56, respectively, abut the diamond-shaped indentation 58. However, their edges 66 and 68, respectively, are spaced apart when the container assembly of FIG. is formed. Therefore, adjacent compartments are not separated by complete partitions as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 through 4. Such a structure allows a unitary object to be positioned in two or more adjacent partitions with the members 62 and 64 being positioned adjacent such a structure so as to form a support therefor. As illustrated in the embodiment of FIG. 5, such an assembly could be used to secure a pair of binoculars 72 positioned with an eyepiece in adjacent compartments, and the bridge 74 joining the eyepieces extending therebetween.
Referring now to FIG. 6 there is shown an alternative embodiment wherein the floor of the central section may be made flat throughout its length. In FIG. 6 the diamond-shaped section 26 of the central section of FIG. 1 is replaced by a pair of triangular- shaped edge indentations 82 and 84 formed along the hinge lines 86 and 88, respectively, of the central section 92. The triangular-shaped indentations abut the end of the trapezoidal sections 94 and 96, respectively, of the first and second sections 98 and 102. Thus, the floor 104 of the central section 92 is generally flat for a long distance enabling an elongated member to be positioned thereon.
Referring now to FIG. 7 there is shown a box-shaped container enclosed on four sides made in accordance with the principles of the invention. In FIG. 7 three hinge lines 112, 114, and 116 form three edges of a box-shaped member 118. The fourth edge 122 is formed by joining the ends of the two adjacent sections by adhesive or tape or other type of securing arrangement. The device of FIG. 7 may be manufactured in long, flat sheets and then cut off in four identical sections. The identical sections each have triangularshaped hollow indentations 124 spaced along the edge or hinge lines which join with adjacent triangular sections spaced along the adjacent section. It will be understood that boxes having a larger number of sections than four sections can be formed. Of course, it should also be understood that a triangular-shaped member can also be formed.
Typically, the container assemblies which are U- shaped such as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6 could be covered at the open ends by menas of clear plastic or other transparent-type material so that the object inside the container assembly could be clearly visible, thereby enhancing the product and encouraging the use or sale of the product. Typically, the U-shaped assemblies such as shown in FIG. 4 can be used to carry plants or other seedlings. The rigid structure of the container provides protection for the seedlings while allowing easy removal thereof. Thus, with the container of FIG. 4, one need merely pull apart the sections 22 and 24 to enable the seedlings to be removed.
The containers shown in FIGS. 1 through 7 can be made of pressed paper, but polyurethane or similar type of plastic material is preferred. Importantly, and referring back to FIG. 1, a coating 132 can be formed along protruding edges of the identations. Such adhesive coating enables rapid assembly of the containers. Alternatively, or additionally, adhesive can be placed on the diamond section edges 44. Such coating can be of non-self sticking variety which allows the assemblies to be stacked as in FIG. 1, yet allows ease of assembly of the final product. The adhesive could be used in all embodiments on adjacent surfaces which abut each other in the final assembly of the container.
It should be understood, of course, that while various shaped devices are shown, other shaped devices not shown could be utilized incorporating the broad principles of assembling a carton as depicted in the present patent application.
