Description

Aug. 15, 1961 H. P. SHERMAN 2,996,176
MEANS FOR PACKAGING FOR MAILING OR SHIPPING I Filed 001:. 8, 1959 United States Patent 2,996,176 MEANS FOR PACKAGING FOR MAILING 0R SHIPPING Herbert P. Sherman, 724 W. Washington Blvd., Chicago 6, I1]. Filed Oct. 8, 1959, Ser. No. 845,146 1 Claim. (Cl. 206-46) This invention relates to improvements in means for packaging, for mailing or shipping.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide improved means for packaging a collapsible tube or the like for mailing or shipping.
Another object of this invention is to provide a packaging container for a collapsible tube, which assumes the shape of the collapsible tube and within which the tube is locked, and which provides a substantially rigid protective enclosure for the collapsible tube.
Another object of this invention is to provide a pack aging container of the foregoing character which is inexpensive and which takes up substantially no more room in the carton than the collapsible tube.
Other objects will become apparent as this description progresses.
In the drawings:
FIGURE 1 is an enlarged view of the cylindrical container before the collapsible tube is inserted.
FIGURE 2 is a top plan view of FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 3 is a view partly in cross-section, showing the collapsible tube locked within the container.
FIGURE 4 is a side elevational view of FIGURE 3.
FIGURE 5 is a bottom plan View of FIGURE 3, and
FIGURE 6 is a view of a conventional collapsible tube adapted to be packaged in accordance with this invention.
The collapsible tube to be packaged in accordance with this invention is designated by the numeral 10 and same is of conventional construction and is of the type commonly used for packaging tooth paste or other paste materials and the like, although in connection with this invention the tube will be used principally for containing inks, in paste form and the like. The collapsible tube 10 is made preferably of lead or metal and has a threaded neck 12 which opens at the top to form the discharge outlet. A cap 14 is removably secured to the neck -12, as is well understood. When the tube 10 is initially filled with the paste ink, the open end of the neck 12 is sealed or covered so that the contents will remain in the tube until same is punctured. This is well understood.
The cylindrical mailing tube or carton within which the aforementioned collapsible tube 10 is inserted is generally designated by the numeral 16 and same is open at one end designated at 18. The cylindrical tube is closed at the opposite end by an end wall 20 which is shaped as best shown in FIGURES 1 and 2.
The end wall 20 has a raised annular portion 22, the upper portion of which is turned over and crimped, as at 24, to the upper edge of the cylindrical tube 16 so as to be permanently secured thereto. The end wall 20 is below the top or outer end of the cylindrical tube. The end wall 20 is provided with a central opening 26 of a size to accommodate the neck 12 of the collapsible tube 10.
Before inserting the collapsible tube in the container 16, the cap 14 is unthreaded and removed from the neck 12 of the collapsible tube. The collapsible tube .10 is inserted through the open end 18 of the cylindrical tube Patented Aug. 15, 1961 and the threaded neck 12 passes through the opening 26 in the end wall 20. The cap 14 is then secured to the threaded neck 12 and this will draw the collapsible tube 10 tightly against the end wall 28 and hold same in a locked position. It will be seen that the top of the cap 14 is below the top or end of the cylindrical container so that same will be within the confines of the cylindrical container 16.
The opposite open end 18 of the cylindrical container is pressed together, as best shown in FIGURES 3, 4 and 5, so that the opposite walls at the lower end taper inwardly as at 27 and they are generally parallel to each other at the bottom as at 28. They are stapled together by staples 30, or same may be secured by other fastening means. The lower end of the cylindrical container flares outwardly at the bottom as indicated at 29.
It will be seen that by compressing or deformnig the lower or open end of the cylindrical container 16, said container assumes substantially the shape of the collapsible tube and provides a protective enclosure for the collapsible tube. Also, the lower end of the collapsible tube 10 is positioned between the tapering lower ends of container 16. By virtue of the upper locking of tube 10 and the lower tapering ends, as described, the tube 10 is irnmovably fixed in relation to cylindrical container 16.
It will be noted that the collapsible tube 10 is locked in position and will not become loose inside the cylindrical container 16 during transit. It may be readily removed from the cylindrical container for use. The individual units hereinabove described are then placed in a carton for shipment.
It will be understood that various changes and modifications may be made from the foregoing without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claim.
I claim:
A package of the character described comprising a cylindrical container with a cylindrical wall having an open end at one end of same and an end wall adjacent the opposite end for closing the opposite end of said container, said end wall being offset inwardly from the outer end of said container, said end wall having a central opening, a collapsible tube having a threaded neck inserted inside said container through the open end of the container with said threaded neck extending through said central opening, said collapsible tube having a closure cap, said closure cap being secured to said threaded neck so that said cap engages the end wall and draws the tube against said end wall to lock said tube inside said container to prevent movement of said tube relative to said container, the cylindrical wall of said cylindrical container adjacent the open end being pressed together to collapse same so that said collapsed wall generally assumes the shape of the lower end of the collapsible tube, and means for securing the pressed-together ends of the collapsed wall.
