FIG. 6 is a top plan view of a second embodiment in accordance with the invention; and -
FIG. 7 is a cross-section of the second embodiment taken along the same lines as that ofFIG. 5 . - Referring to
FIG. 1 , ashirt box container 10 comprises asubstrate 20 in the form of a transparent plastic sheet having fold lines generally designated F1 and F2. The fold lines F1 are generally parallel and preferably are parallel to one another. The fold lines F2 are also generally parallel and preferably are parallel to one another. The fold lines F1, F2 define boundaries of respective panels of thesubstrate 20. A series offirst panels 30 all fold in a first direction and includepanels series 30 is disposed adjacent another panel in the series and is separated from a next panel by one of the fold lines F1. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , the first series ofpanels 30 is foldable along the fold lines Flalong a common, parallel direction to define a hollow central cavity for the shirt box. Referring now toFIGS. 1 and 2 , a set ofsecond panels 40 have a boundary along the fold lines F2 to respective panels in thefirst series 30. Thus,panels 42 are bounded along one margin at the fold lines F2 topanel 34 andflaps 44 are bounded along fold lines F2 topanels 32. In the embodiment ofFIG. 1 , the second set ofpanels 40 further includesend flaps 46 which fold about fold line F2 and which are joined to a free end ofpanels 42. Each of thepanels notch 50, which separate a portion of thepanels substrate 20. As can be appreciated fromFIG. 2 , the panels in thesecond set 40 are foldable along their respective fold lines F2 in a direction which is substantially perpendicular to the direction of fold lines F1. In folding the second set ofpanels 40, peripheral ends of theshirt box 10 are defined. - The
notches 50 are generally oriented to extend in the same direction as the fold lines F1, and preferably are axially aligned with the fold lines F1. - In accordance with a salient aspect of the present invention, the
shirt box 10 can be configured in a partially assembled state in which a hollow central cavity for containing a shirt or a shirt and tie combination is defined, yet which is collapsible into a generally flat state until such time that a shirt (or a shirt and tie combination) is to be inserted into the box. When theshirt box 10 is to be filled, it is brought to an uncollapsed state, the shirt is introduced into the hollow cavity, and the peripheral ends of the shirt box are bonded so as to define a substantially rectangular and sealed shirt box construction. - With further reference to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , asecurement 50 extends along an inner margin of thepanel 36 for permanently connectingpanel 36 to another panel in the series, preferably one of thepanels 32. As shown inFIG. 3 , thesecurement 50 comprises a bond (e.g., thermal or adhesive) which is made betweenpanels shirt box 10 in a rectangular configuration. The bonds preferably comprises a contact cement; however, the bond can comprise other generally permanent connections as understood by those skilled in the art. Preferably, the bond is “permanent” in that it is of such character that it is not readily opened by a consumer, and yet is sufficiently strong to permit the box to be collapsed laterally, so that the panels of thefirst series 30 can be folded along fold lines F1 to define the shirt cavity while the peripheral ends remain unattached to thereby permit the shirt box to assume a flat condition. - The
shirt box 10 further includes a first and second doublesided tape member 60 having a first side in adhesive contact with a respective panel in the second set ofpanels 40. As illustrated inFIGS. 1-3 , the double-sided tape member is disposed onend panel 42. A second side of the double-sided tape member 60 includes a removable strip 62 (best seen inFIG. 3 ) which overlies the second side of thetape member 60. The removable strip maintains the second side of thetape member 60 free of tackiness so thatshirt boxes 10 can be stacked in a collapsed state without sticking to one another. However, theremovable strip 62 can be separated from the second side of thetape member 60 by releasing it in the direction of arrow A so as to expose an adhesive surface which permits engagement of onepanel 42 with another panel 42 (seeFIG. 4 ). Once thepanels 42 have been adhesively joined by thetape member 60, theshirt box 10 is in the second state in which the hollow central cavity is sized to receive the shirt or shirt and tie combination. - Preferably, the material of the substrate has a thickness so that, in combination with the fold lines F1 and F2, a stable, second state results in which the
shirt boxes 10 can be stacked in great number, one upon another, to promote efficient shelf and display space usage. - In order to facilitate folding of the shirt box, in a preferred form, the
end panels 46 have chamfered corners adjacent their respective free ends. The chamfered corners reduce interference of one panel member with another as the box is folded. - As illustrated in
FIGS. 1-4 , it is preferred that the panels in thesecond set 40 extend symmetrically from the margins of the panels in thefirst series 30. -
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view through the folded box in accordance with first the embodiment described above.FIG. 5 shows the relative relationship of the different panels with theshirt box 10 in the fully folded configuration. - Referring now to
FIG. 6 , a second embodiment ofshirt box 10′ is illustrated in which like reference numbers are used to refer to corresponding features. In relevant part, the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that it has been specially configured in order to minimize waste material as thesubstrate 20 is stamped from a web of material by providing an overall rectangular configuration free of cut-outs. As in the first embodiment, it is preferred that a single sheet of substantially transparent plastic is used to define the panels of theshirt box 10′; however, in order to minimize waste material, theend flaps 46 have been eliminated, andnew flaps panels 40. The flaps 48A, 48B are folded about fold line F2 when thesubstrate 20 is folded to define theshirt box 10′. Thus, as shown inFIG. 7 , the folded shirt box lacks theend panel 46, so the top and bottom margins of the folded box have the same thickness throughout the length of the shirt box. Theadditional flap 48 a is accommodated within the folded box, as illustrated inFIG. 7 . - The fold lines F1 and F2 can be continuous or discontinuous, but preferably are continuous and more preferably comprise score lines in the
substrate 10. Depending on the material chosen for the substrate, fold lines can be defined by material at locations that are axially aligned with thenotches 50. Also, at least one of thenotches 50 preferably has a depth (that is, in a direction parallel to the axis of the fold lines F1) which is equal to the width of theflaps 44. By so-constructing at least some of thenotches 50, a substantiallyrectangular shirt box - While the invention has been described in connection with certain embodiments thereof, the invention is capable of being practiced in other forms and using other materials and structures. Accordingly, the invention is defined by the recitations in the claims appended hereto and equivalents thereof.
