Description
- This application is a continuation of and claims priority to U.S. application Ser. No. 12/005,761, filed Dec. 28, 2007, which is a continuation of Ser. No. 11/124,922, filed May 9, 2005, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,325,686, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/570,004, filed May 11, 2004; and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/570,015, filed May 11, 2004; which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates generally to a package for containing an array of consumable products and retaining the products in the package until such time as it is desired to dispense the individual products. More particularly, the present invention relates to a package for retaining and dispensing gum slabs using adhesive securement.
- It is well known to house consumable products such as gum slabs in a package or housing which retains the gum slabs and allows for dispensing of an individual slab therefrom. The gum slabs are typically arranged in an array, so that a single gum slab may be removed from the array leaving the remaining gum slabs in the package. Often, the gum slabs may be wrapped individually in an outer wrapper.
- Certain of the gum slab packages are of the type which maintain their outer configuration even after removal of one of the gum slabs. This creates a space in the package which allows adjacent gum slabs to become displaced. Therefore, it may become difficult to remove additional gum slabs from the package if one or more of the remaining gum slabs tilts or falls over within the package. Also, by creating such a space, the remaining gum slabs may slide or move in the package and may even fall out of the package.
- One attempt to retain and dispense individual gum slabs from a package is shown in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003/0080020 to Kopecky, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein for all purposes. The Kopecky publication discloses a gum slab package housing formed from a die cut paperboard blank having a generally rectangular configuration. The housing includes a front cover which opens to expose a plurality of gum slabs. The gum slabs are contained in a side-by-side array by a sheet which wraps around the gum slabs. The sheet, including the gum slab array, is placed into the package housing such that the gum slabs are exposed once the front cover is opened. In order to retain the gum slabs in an upright condition and maintain the gum slabs within the package once one or more of the slabs are removed from the array, the gum slabs are adhesively secured to the sheet. The adhesive securement may take the form of wax areas on the inner surface of the sheet. Once the wrapped slabs are inserted into the sheet, heat is applied to the sheet to cause the wax to melt. The array of gum slabs secured to the sheet may then be placed in the package for retention and dispensing.
- While the device disclosed in the Kopecky publication attempts to provide a package which both allows for the retention and dispensing of gum slabs, it has been found that the package may not adequately perform over the long term. Accordingly, it is desirable to provide an improved gum slab package which allows for the retention and dispensing of individual gum slabs and which will retain the remaining gum slabs in the package once one or more of the gum slabs are removed.
- The present invention provides a method for forming a package assembly for individual elongate consumable products. A blank is provided. The blank includes a back wall, a foldable front wall and a foldable flap extending from the back wall. An adhesive location is placed on the foldable front wall. An array of elongate consumable products is placed on the back wall. The foldable front wall is folded to place the consumable products in releaseable adhesive engagement with the front wall.
- In a preferred embodiment the adhesive location is a longitudinal strip.
- The package assembly of the present invention may also include a band surrounding the array of products. The band holds the product array in removable frictional retention. The adhesive location may be in engagement with the band for adhesively supporting the band in the package housing.
- The package housing may also include an adhesive strip along the back wall thereof. The adhesive strip along the back wall may be positioned for engagement with the products.
-

The package housing is openable to allow dispensing of one or more products therefrom and is reclosable to contain and maintain the products therein. While the present invention is useful with a wide of variety of consumable product, it is particularly useful with respect to elongate gum slabs which are arranged in a side-by-side array.
- Consumable product packages of this type are disclosed in commonly assigned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/833,468 filed Jul. 1, 2004 entitled “Confectionery Packaging Design” and Ser. No. 11/025,739 filed Dec. 22, 2004 entitled “Gum Package Design with Two Separate Compartments”, both of which are incorporated by reference herein for all purposes.
- Moreover, the present invention discloses consumable product packages of the type shown in commonly assigned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/124,906, filed May 9, 2005, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,811,614, entitled “Gum Slab Package Having Insertable Product Retention Member” and identified as Attorney Docket No. 1421-18, and also shown in commonly assigned U.S. patent application Ser.

FIG. 3 shows package housing 116 of thepackage assembly 110 in its preassembled condition.Package housing 116 is formed from a die cut paperboard and is provided in a flat configuration which may be folded from the flat configuration shown inFIG. 3 into the configuration shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 . Thepackage housing 116 is shown to have theback wall 120, a foldablefront wall 118,foldable side walls foldable cover 130. - As particularly shown in
FIG. 4 ,package assembly 110 includes anarray 112 ofgum slabs 114 which are supported withinpackage housing 116. Thegum slabs 114 are further contained within aband 131. Band 131 may be formed of a wide variety of materials including paper, foil or combinations thereof. - In the present illustrative, the
band 131 is formed into a pouch or U-shaped configuration having opposed front and back walls, side walls and a bottom wall. Thearray 112 ofgum slabs 114 is positioned within the band with the aligned lower ends thereof contained within the U-shaped band. While a U-shaped band is shown herein, other configurations may be employed. - Referring again to
FIG. 3 ,back wall 120 has positioned thereacross an adhesive location in the form of a longitudinaladhesive wall strip 125. Thewall strip 125 extends across theback wall 120 so as to be engagable with thearray 112 ofgum slabs 114 so as to provide adhesive securement thereto. Thewall strip 125 is preferably positioned adjacent the upper portion ofback wall 120 so as to engage theslabs 114 along an upper end thereof. It is contemplated that the adhesive provided for the adhesive location is a releasable adhesive which will retentively support theslabs 114 thereon, but which can be easily overcome so as to permit removal of the gum slabs therefrom. Wax is a well known releasable adhesive. - Furthermore, a front
foldable cover 118 may also include an adhesive location defined by anadhesive flap strip 127. The flap strip is positioned so that when thefront wall 118 folded in a manner shown inFIG. 2 , theflap strip 127 is engagable with thegum slabs 114 in theU-shaped band 131. Again, theflap strip 127 extends transversely across the cover so as to be engagable mutually across thearray 112 ofgum slabs 114. It is contemplated that the positioning and width of theflap strip 127 may be selected so that the strip can engage theindividual gum slabs 114 extending from theband 131 alone without engaging theband 131, or can be positioned so that it engages theband 131 alone without engaging the gum slabs or, in the further alternative, can be of sufficient width that it mutually engages both theband 131 and thegum slabs 114 simultaneously. - In addition, as shown in dotted lines in
FIG. 1 , theadhesive wall strip 125 a may be positioned and be of sufficient width to engage both thegum slabs 114 and theband 131 simultaneously. - The use of the
adhesive strips array 112 ofgum slabs 114 withinpackage housing 116 and permit individual removal therefrom. - While the adhesive is a releasable adhesive permitting easy removal of the gum slabs therefrom, the adhesive retention is such that even where adjacent gum slabs are removed, the remaining gum slabs will not tilt or tend to fall out of the package.
- Referring now to
FIG. 5 , a further embodiment of the present invention is shown. With respect to the present embodiment, similar reference numerals denote similar elements with 200 added to the reference numerals ofFIGS. 1 and 2 to denote the present embodiment. -
FIG. 5 shows thepackage assembly 210 ofpackage housing 216 in its preassembled condition.Package housing 216 is formed from a die cut paperboard which may be folded from its flat configuration shown inFIG. 5 into the configuration shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 . Thepackage housing 216 is shown to have the back wall 220, a foldablefront wall 218, foldable side walls 224 and 226 and afoldable cover 230. - The
package housing 216 supports anarray 212 ofgum slabs 214 against the interior surface of the back wall 220. In the present illustrative embodiment, the gum slabs may be either unwrapped or individually wrapped with wrappers. Thegum slabs 214 are supported against the interior surface of back wall 220 without the benefit of any adhesive securement thereto. Thefront wall 218 includes an adhesive location in the form of a longitudinaladhesive strip 227 therealong. When the preassembled housing is assembled into the configuration ofFIG. 2 and thefront wall 218 is folded, theadhesive strip 227 will make adhesive contact with the gum slabs transversely thereacross. - As the adhesive forming the adhesive location is releasable adhesive, it will allow for removable retentive engagement of the individual gum slabs from the
package housing 216. Such releasable retention allows the gum slabs to be individually removed from the package while retaining gum slabs in place even after removal of an adjacent gum slab. - The embodiment of
FIG. 5 employs a single adhesive location on thefront wall 218 and achieves adhesive retention without the need of a band (FIG. 3 ) supporting thearray 212 ofgum slabs 214. - Having described the preferred embodiments herein, it should now be appreciated that variations may be made thereto without departing from the contemplated scope of the invention. Accordingly, the preferred embodiments described herein are deemed illustrative rather than limiting, the true scope of the invention being set forth in the claims appended hereto.
