Claims
- 1. A method of erecting a carrier blank into a basket type compliance carrier, said method comprising the steps of
- providing a carrier blank having side wall panels, end wall panels, and a floor panel,
- two cell divider panel sections, each of said divider sections comprising at least two cell divider panels, the cell divider panels of each divider section cooperating with one side wall panel to provide a row of cells when said carrier is assembled and erected, thereby providing two side-by-side cell rows, and
- two cell compliance panel sections, each of said compliance sections comprising at least two cell compliance panels, the cell compliance panels of each compliance section cooperating with one cell divider panel section to provide a double thickness in the heel and shoulder areas of the cell divider panels of adjacent cells, and
- passing said blank through a gluing machine in a machine direction for assembly into a knock-down carrier structure from said carrier blank structure, said cell divider panels and cell compliance panels within each associated pair of cell divider and cell compliance panel sections being glued one to the other in double thickness form upon folding one section in a cross machine direction relative to the other section without folding back of any glue tabs or panels within any of said sections.
- 2. A method as set forth in claim 1, said method comprising the step of
- folding said cell divider panel section and said cell compliance panel section associated with each side wall panel on a leading fold line relative to the machine direction travel of said carrier blank through said gluing machine, both pairs of said cell divider and cell compliance panel sections associated with each side wall panel being folded and glued simultaneously.
- 3. A method as set forth in claim 1, said cell divider panel section and said cell compliance panel section for each cell row extending outboard from the same side of said sections' associated side wall panel.
- 4. A method as set forth in claim 1, said cell divider panel section and said cell compliance panel section associated with each cell row extending outboard from opposite side edges of said sections' associated side wall panel.
- 5. A method as set forth in claim 1, said method comprising the step of
- folding said cell divider panel sections on a fold line perpendicular to the machine direction of said blank through said gluing machine for gluing all compliance panels within said cell compliance panel sections to all cell divider panels within said cell divider panel sections.
- 6. A method as set forth in claim 1, said method comprising the step of
- folding said cell compliance panel sections on a fold line perpendicular to the machine direction of said blank through said gluing machine for gluing all cell divider panels within said cell divider panel sections to all cell compliance panels within said cell compliance panel sections.
- 7. A method as set forth in claim 1, said method comprising the step of
- gluing all cell divider panels within each cell divider panel section to all cell compliance panels within each cell compliance panel section prior to folding and gluing said blank into carrier configuration.
- 8. A method as set forth in claim 1, said method comprising the step of
- gluing all said cell divider panels within said cell divider panel sections to all said cell compliance panels within said cell compliance panel sections simultaneously with gluing of said blank into carrier configuration.
- 9. A method as set forth in claim 8, said sections being arranged so that one cell divider panel section and its associated cell compliance panel section are folded to properly position same relative to said sections' associated side wall panel before folding and gluing of said sections relative one to the other.
