Benefits of technology

This patent describes an improved beverage container that has a paperboard shell and a spout securing portion. The handle is built into the sidewall of the container, and an insulating panel is provided to keep the user's hand from touching the hot liquid. The containers can be filled in the same position they are placed when not in use. A structure is also provided to securely hold the spout of the plastic bag so that it doesn't fall downward into the surrounding box structure. Non-collapsible plastic cartons can be used instead of the filled bag, which provides cost savings and additional rigidity to the assembled container. The container can also be carried by a handle formed as a part of the top or cap of the plastic carton.

Problems solved by technology

The use of unassembled paperboard blanks is not entirely satisfactory since retail establishment employees must be trained to the proper assembly of the box and bag structure.
Heretofore, the collapsed assembled boxes have also suffered from shortcomings in that the handle structures have not been sturdy and the box must necessarily be placed in different orientations for filling, pouring, and resting positions.
The need to use a variety of orientations for the box can make it impractical to fill the box with liquid to a point approaching the actual volume of the container.

Embodiment Construction

[0030]To better appreciate the advantages of the preferred container, a prior art beverage container is shown in detail. FIGS. 1a-d illustrate a beverage container constructed in accordance with the teachings of the prior art. The beverage container 10 includes an outer container or shell 3, and an inner bag (not shown) having a mouth and a spout 9. The bag is positioned within the outer shell 3 and communicates with the exterior of the container 10 through the mouth and spout 9. The container 10 has a front 13, a back 15, a left side 17, a right side 19, a top 21 and a bottom 23. In addition, the container defines a handle 25.

[0031]As seen in FIG. 1a, the outer shell 3 is configured to be constructed from a one-piece cardboard blank. Of course, the outer shell 3 could be constructed of other materials, such as, for example, fluted or corrugated plastics, other non-corrugated plastics, or other foldable materials. The shell has a front wall panel 16, a back wall panel 18, a right si...

Abstract

An improved paperboard structure to hold a fluid filled bag or plastic carton is provided.

Description

[0001]The present application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Ser. No. 61 / 479,339, filed Apr. 26, 2011.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates to an improved beverage container. More specifically, this invention is directed to an improved container for storing, transporting, and dispensing beverages.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]In the development of beverage packaging, numerous attempts have been made to provide paperboard packaging for fluids, utilizing a plastic bag within the paperboard structure to hold the fluid. As these packages evolved to have dispensing spouts secured and extending from the paperboard packaging, many issues have been addressed, including the secure mounting of spouts and the design of spouts that were easy to use. It has also been desirable to make the inner pouches of these containers removable so that plastic and cardboard or paperboard material can be recycled separately after use. As the bag in box packaging has evolved, some packagin...
