Definitions

  • Packaging FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to packaging and more particularly, but not exclusively, holders for CDs. BACKGROUND CDs are often purchased as gifts and may then be accompanied by a greetings card, usually put into the same bag as the CD. THE INVENTION The present inventor has appreciated that it would be particularly convenient to com bine a container adapted to house a CD or the like with a greetings card. T is is one aspect of the invention.
  • CD or the like as used herein includes a DVD and any other disc-like optical storage medium .
  • greyetings card or the like has reference to any sheet-like material that includes a printed region and a writing region adapted to receive a written message.
  • the inventor considered that the most suitable form of packaging would be a container having an external front flap adapted to lie over the front surface of the container, substantially co-extensive therewith, and hinged at one side to an edge of this surface.
  • the container in one form should be available for sale as a flat that can be erected by the purchaserto insert his or her own CD jewel case containing a CD.
  • FIG. 1 In the form for sale when flat, it might not be immediately apparent to a purchaser how he or she could erect the container, and for this purpose the inventor devised a form in which the flap lies outside a protective transparent envelope which surrounds the remainder of the container when on a shop shelf, and the construction is such that by slightly opening the flap, the prospective purchaser can immediately see the beginning of the erection method.
  • packaging means comprising an erectable or collapsible container having an external flap adapted to lie over a surface of the container.
  • the term "container" includes reference to a flat (an un-erected or collapsed container) and an erected container or partially erected container, according as the case will allow.
  • the flap is connected to the rest the container in such a manner that opening the flap will tend to ad at least part of the erection of the container, and in a preferred form, starting such opening will make it apparent how the container will erect.
  • the container comprises panels, first hinge means that connect the panels together, and second hinge means that connect the flap to the remainder of the container.
  • the second hinge means are substantially rigid in a direction to open the flap from its position of lying over said surface. More preferably, the second hinge means in a direction to open the flap from its position of lying over said surface are stiffer than said first hinge means.
  • said first and second hinge means are substantially collocated.
  • a first said panel and a second said panel are interconnected by said first hinge means, and said flap is connected to said first panel by said second hinge means. More preferably, said first panel is smaller than said second panel and said second panel comprises said surface. Even more preferably, said flap when lying over said surface has substantially the same length and breadth as, and may simply be substantially co-extensive with, said second panel.
  • the packaging means preferably comprise at least one writing area and at least one printed area less conducive to being written upon than said writing area. As illustrated below, said flap comprises a said writing area and a said printed area.
  • the packaging means may further comprise a transparent envelope, itself preferably comprising a re-sealable adhesive means.
  • said envelope comprises a closure portion that can be sealed to the rest of said envelope by said adhesive means to seal said envelope.
  • said re-sealable adhesive means are located on the outside of said rest of said envelope.
  • Said rest of said envelope is preferably adapted substantially to surround said rest of said container when un-erected, with said adhesive means lying between said flap and said surface with said flap lying over the latter and adhering to said adhesive means.
  • said container is un-erected with said rest of said envelope substantially surrounding said rest of said container and said flap adhering to said adhesive means.
  • said envelope is adapted to surround said container when the latter is erected and said closure portion is sealed to said rest of said envelope as aforesaid.
  • said envelope When said container is erected, said envelope may be sealed and surround the whole of said container.
  • Another aspect of the invention consists in a method of erecting a container having an external flap adapted to lie over a surface of the container, in which the flap is opened to aid the erection.
  • Another aspect of the invention consists in a method of erecting a partly folded container having an external flap adapted to lie over a surface of the container, in which the flap is opened to aid the erection and change the folding of the container.
  • the invention extends to a container erected by any such method, and to a container of any such packaging means, that has been erected.
  • Another aspect of the invention consists in a method of using any such container, comprising a flap adapted to lie over a surface of the container when un-erected, which flap is open when the container is erected, in which method the flap is closed to lie over said surface of the container when erected.
  • contents are placed in the container when erect and the container is then closed.
  • the invention extends to a container with contents placed in it during any such method.
  • Figure 1 is a front view of a blank ready to be folded into container embodying the invention
  • Rgure 2 is a view corresponding to Figure 1 of the container when folded into a flat suitable for erection
  • Figure 3 is a front perspective view of the erected container
  • Figure 4 is a top view of the Figure 3 container
  • Figure 5 is a side perspective view of the container in a direction seen from the right-hand side of Figure 3
  • Figures 6A to 61 are schematic top views, somewhat distorted in Figure 6D for clarity for explanatory purposes, corresponding to Figure 4, of stages 6A to 61 in the folding of the Figure 1 arrangement to form the Figure 2 arrangement and then erecting the same
  • corresponding parts of Figures 6A to 6F are vertically aligned in the Figures
  • Figure 6D2 corresponds to Figure 6D but showing a variation
  • Figure 7 is an enlarged partial top sectional view, corresponding to Figure 6E
  • fold line 15 is scored less than (e.g. 50% of the depth of the scoring on) the other fold lines so that it will produce a stiffer hinge action than these.
  • fold line 15 has intermittent scoring while the other fold lines have continuous scoring, or fold line 15 has shallower scoring than the other fold lines.
  • Edge panel 5, carrying flap 1 , 2 is then folded forwards 180 degrees about fold line 16 until edge panel 5 lies over edge panel 7 and adheres thereto, Figure 6D, seen more clearly in Figure 6E which omits showing the adhesive 26, 27.
  • the packaging means 34 in addition to container 24, further comprise a transparent envelope 29, itself comprising a shorter panel 37 and a longer panel 38 and re-sealable adhesive means 35 in the form of a strip 35 of adhesive 35 running along the outside of the lip of the shorter panel 37.
  • the extension of longer panel 38 beyond shorter panel 37 of envelope 29 constitutes a closure portion 36 that can be sealed to the rest of said envelope 29 by said adhesive means 35 to seal said envelope 29.
  • Said re-sealable adhesive means 35 are located on the outside of said rest of said envelope 29.
  • the purpose of use in envelope 29 is to protect the majority of container 24, consistent with the psychological feature mentioned above.
  • Said rest of said envelope 29 is made large enough substantially to surround said rest of said container 24 when un-erected, i.e. in the form of flat 21 , as seen in Figures 8 and 10, with said adhesive means 35 lying between said flap 1 , 2 and said surface 39 of panel 4, and with said flap 1 , 2 lying over the surface 39 and adhering to said adhesive means 35. While container 24 is thus partially within envelope 29, and protected by the same, raising edge 14 of flap 1,
  • packaging means 34 can also be sold erected in the form shown in Figure 9, already containing contents. It is then down to the purchaserto un-seal closure portion 36 from releasable and re-sealable adhesive means 35, withdraw container 24, write a message on area 31 , re-insert container 24 into envelope 29, and re-seal the same with closure portion 36.
  • packaging means 34 comprising an erectable or collapsible container 24 having an external flap 1 , 2 adapted to lie over a surface (front surface 39 of panel 4) of the container 24.
  • the flap 1 , 2 is connected to the rest the container 24 in such a manner that opening the flap 1 , 2 will tend to aid at least part of the erection of the container 24, and starting such opening will make it apparent how the container 24 will erect, more particularly when the container 24, apart from its external flap 1 , 2 is within transparent envelope 29.
  • the container 24 comprises panels 4 and 7, first hinge means 19 that connect the panels 4 and 7 together, and second hinge means 15 that connect the flap 1 , 2 to the remainder of the container 24.
  • the second hinge means 15 are substantially rigid in a direction, arrow 28, to open the flap 1 , 2 from its position of lying over said front surface 39 of panel 4.
  • the second hinge means 15 in a direction, Arrow 28, to open the flap 1 , 2 from its position of lying over said front surface 39 of panel 4 are stiffer than said first hinge means 19, at least in relation to rotating in the direction of arrow 28.
  • Said first and second hinge means 19, 15 are substantially collocated, as seen in Figure 7.
  • a first said panel 5, 7 (effectively a single panel in formed container 24) and a second said panel 4 are interconnected by said first hinge means 19, and said flap 1 , 2 is connected to said first panel 5, 7 by said second hinge means 15.
