AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a container shelf that can support the weight of an upper product without compromising the gap between the top of a lower product and the shelf. The shelf is made up of a main shelf panel and two folded shelf flaps that provide support. The main shelf panel is rigid enough to support the weight of an upper product while the shelf flaps are folded 90 degrees with respect to the main shelf panel. This design allows for efficient use of space and ensures stability during shipment.

Problems solved by technology

In some instances, the goods being transported are relatively fragile, e.g., baked goods and should not be impacted or pressed upon.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]Reference will now be made to the drawings wherein like reference numerals identify similar structural features or aspects of the subject disclosure. For purposes of explanation and illustration, and not limitation, a view of an embodiment of a blank system for forming a container in accordance with the disclosure is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and is designated generally by reference character 10. Other embodiments of containers in accordance with the disclosure, or aspects thereof, are provided in FIGS. 2-24 as will be described. The systems and methods described herein can be used to provide containers with attached dividers.

[0022]The blank system 10, depicted in FIGS. 1 and 2, includes a main blank 100 including a plurality of panels 102, 104, 106, 108 foldably connected together across respective fold lines 146, 148, 150 to enclose an interior space 152 (not visible in FIG. 1, but see FIG. 9). The main blank 100 also includes upper flaps 110, 112, 114, 116 and lower flaps 118...

Abstract

A container with an attached shelf includes a plurality of panels connected together to enclose an interior space. The interior space is divided into an upper interior space and a lower interior space by a shelf adhered to one or more of the plurality of panels. The shelf includes a main shelf panel and a pair of opposed side shelf flaps connected to the main shelf panel along a pair of fold lines.The opposed shelf flaps provide load bearing support to the main shelf panel and the main shelf panel is sufficiently rigid to support the weight of an upper product placed in the upper interior space in a manner such that an air gap is maintained between the top of a lower product placed into the lower interior space and the shelf itself so as to avoid unwanted contact between the two products.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0001]The present disclosure relates to containers, and more particularly to containers with compartments.2. Description of Related Art[0002]Various containers are provided for transporting or shipping goods. In some instances, the goods being transported are relatively fragile, e.g., baked goods and should not be impacted or pressed upon. Typically, goods like cakes are therefore packaged individually in containers strong enough to protect the cake inside during transport.[0003]The conventional techniques have been considered satisfactory for their intended purpose. However, there is an ever present need for improved transport or shipping containers. This disclosure provides a solution for this need.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]A container comprises a plurality of panels connected together to enclose an interior space. The interior space is divided into an upper interior space and a lower interior space by a shelf adhered to one ...
