Dispenser box with tilted top surface and tipping corner
View Patent ↗A dispenser box that includes a tilted or inclined top surface that defines a plurality of object wells that are configured to receive objects and secure them for shipping as well as display. The object wells are configured to secure each object on display as the objects are removed from the dispenser box, such that the last remaining object may continue to stand secure and in place.
1. A dispenser box comprising:
a dispenser box body having a flat bottom and a tilted top surface and one or more corresponding side walls each extending up from the flat bottom and terminating at an edge of the tilted top surface;
a plurality of object wells defined through the tilted top surface, each said object well adapted for receiving and securing a corresponding object;
a secondary surface disposed within confines of the dispenser box body, and positioned above the flat bottom, the secondary surface including a plurality of collapsible skirts with each said collapsible skirt positioned beneath a corresponding opening of one of the object wells; and
a tipping corner that is structurally strengthened greater than the remainer of the dispenser box body to allow an object secured in one of said object wells to be tilted towards and onto the tipping corner without the tipping corner collapsing under the weight of the object.
2. The dispenser box of claim 1 , wherein the object wells are configured to hold and support bagged compression rolled mattresses.
3. The dispenser box of claim 1 , wherein the dispenser box body comprises corrugated cardboard.
4. The dispenser box of claim 1 , wherein the bottom and side walls of the dispenser box body comprise a first material and the tilted top surface comprises a second material, wherein the first material is different from the second material.
5. The dispenser box of claim 1 , wherein the object wells comprise circular shaped holes that are configured to receive cylindrical shaped objects.
6. The dispenser box of claim 1 , wherein the tilted top surface comprises a slope from between 40 and 60 degrees.
7. The dispenser box of claim 1 , wherein the tipping corner comprises a different material from a remainder of the dispenser box body.
8. The dispenser box of claim 1 , wherein each collapsible skirt has a skirt opening with a skirt diameter that is less than a longest width or outer diameter dimension of the corresponding object, with said skirt opening configured to receive the corresponding object with an interference or friction fit.
9. The dispenser box of claim 8 , wherein a portion of the secondary surface immediately adjacent the skirt opening is scored so as to be collapsible.
10. The dispenser box of claim 1 , wherein the tilted top surface defines one or more tear-away sections adjacent to each object well to allow material of the top surface between the object wells to separate when placed under a load.
11. The dispenser box of claim 1 , further comprising a cover configured to be placed over one or more objects received in the object wells.
12. A dispenser box comprising:
a dispenser box body having a flat bottom and a tilted top surface and one or more corresponding side walls each extending up from the flat bottom and terminating at an edge of the tilted top surface;
a plurality of object wells defined through the tilted top surface, each said object well adapted for receiving and securing a corresponding object, the object wells each defining circular shaped holes that are configured to receive the objects, the tilted top surface defining at least one tear-away section adjacent to each object well to allow a portion of the tilted top surface between the object wells to separate when placed under a load;
a secondary surface disposed within confines of the dispenser box body, and positioned above the flat bottom, the secondary surface including a plurality of collapsible skirts with each said collapsible skirt positioned beneath a corresponding opening of one of the object wells, each collapsible skirt having a skirt opening configured to receive the corresponding object with an interference fit; and
a tipping corner that is structurally strengthened to allow an object secured in one of said object wells to be tilted towards and onto the tipping corner without the tipping corner collapsing under the weight of the object.
13. The dispenser box of claim 12 , wherein the object wells are configured to hold and support bagged compression rolled mattresses.
14. The dispenser box of claim 12 , wherein the dispenser box body comprises corrugated cardboard.
15. The dispenser box of claim 12 , wherein the flat bottom and side walls of the dispenser box body comprise a first material and the tilted top surface comprises a second material, wherein the first material is different from the second material.
16. The dispenser box of claim 12 , wherein the tilted surface comprises a slope from between 40 and 60 degrees.
17. The dispenser box of claim 12 , wherein the tipping corner comprises a different material from a remainder of the dispenser box body.
18. The dispenser box of claim 12 , wherein a portion of the secondary surface immediately adjacent the skirt opening is scored so as to be collapsible.
19. A method of manufacturing a dispenser box comprising:
forming a dispenser box body having a flat bottom and a tilted top surface and one or more corresponding side walls each extending up from the flat bottom and terminating at an edge of the tilted top surface;
forming a plurality of object wells through the tilted top surface each said object well adapted for receiving and securing a corresponding object, the object wells each defining circular shaped holes that are configured to receive the objects;
forming at least one tear-away section adjacent to each object well to allow a portion of the tilted top surface between the object wells to separate when placed under a load;
positioning a secondary surface within the confines of the dispenser box body above the flat bottom, the secondary surface including a plurality of collapsible skirts with each collapsible skirt positioned beneath a corresponding opening of one of the object wells; and
providing a tipping corner that is structurally strengthened to allow an object secured in one of the object wells to be tilted towards and onto the tipping corner without the tipping corner collapsing under the weight of the object.
20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the object wells are configured to hold and support bagged compression rolled mattresses.
