A blank from which a multiple-compartment carton may be formed, which carton includes two buffer compartments, one at each side of the carton and separated by space for the contents of the carton, said blank comprising in sequence from one side to the other: a glue flap, a partition panel, an inner backwall panel, an outer backwall panel greater in width than said inner backwall panel, a sidewall panel, a front-wall panel greater in width than said inner backwall panel, another sidewall panel having the same width as said first sidewall panel, a narrow connecting panel, another partition panel having the same width as said first partition panel, and a glue flap.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
123 words
A one-piece blank from which a multiple-compartmenT carton may be formed, which carton includes two buffer compartments, one at each side of the carton and separated by space for the contents of the carton; said blank comprising: a front-wall panel flanked by two sidewall panels; a backwall panel having one edge connected to one of said sidewall panels; two partition panels; a narrow panel connecting one of said partition panels hingedly with the other of said sidewall panels; a wider panel connecting the other of said partition panels hingedly with the other edge of said backwall panel; gluing tabs connected with the remote edges of said partition panels; and closure flaps and tabs connected to the ends of certain of the wall-forming panels.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
123 words
A one-piece blank from which a multiple-compartmenT carton may be formed, which carton includes two buffer compartments, one at each side of the carton and separated by space for the contents of the carton; said blank comprising: a front-wall panel flanked by two sidewall panels; a backwall panel having one edge connected to one of said sidewall panels; two partition panels; a narrow panel connecting one of said partition panels hingedly with the other of said sidewall panels; a wider panel connecting the other of said partition panels hingedly with the other edge of said backwall panel; gluing tabs connected with the remote edges of said partition panels; and closure flaps and tabs connected to the ends of certain of the wall-forming panels.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
215 words
The method of erecting a multiple-compartment carton comprising providing a one-piece blank including a front-wall panel flanked by two sidewall panels; a backwall panel having one edge connected to one of said sidewall panels; two partition panels; a narrow panel connecting one of said partition panels hingedly with the other or second sidewall panels; and a wider panel connecting the other of said partition panels hingedly with the other edge of said backwall panel; folding the blank along the connection between the second named connecting panel and said backwall panel to bring these two panels into face-to-face contact; swinging both of said partition panels to a position to stand at right angles to the connecting panels; swinging said second sidewall panel to a right angle with respect to said front-wall panel, and swinging said narrow connecting panel to a right angle with respect to the second sidewall panel, whereby the partition panel stands in its final position, as described; swinging said first named sidewall panel to a right angle with respect to said front-wall panel; swinging said combined backwall panels to a right angle with respect to said first sidewall panel, whereby the folded edge portion of said combined backwall panel overlies the narrow connecting panel; and gluing said portion to said narrow connecting panel.
