Description

PAPER CARTRIDGE
OTHER RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the priority of United States Provisional Application serial no. 60/078,389 filed on March 18, 1998.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Heretofore printing paper typically used in personal computer printers and plain paper facsimile and copy machines has been supplied in reams, generally consisting of five hundred sheets, over wrapped with a simple protective covering. However smaller quantities of specialty papers, of a higher quality, are in demand by the small office-home office (SOHO) industry for specialized uses.
With increased use of specialty papers, such as high quality bond, colored, water marked, personal letter heads, special invitations, etc., for special purposes the typical SOHO users find themselves frequently changing the paper in their respective printing devices. Because of such frequent changing of the paper the paper supplies frequently become damaged during the loading and unloading process, or during nonuse storage.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention discloses and teaches a paper storage and supply cartridge that will protect small quantities of printing papers typically used in printing devises, such as personal computer printers, plain paper facsimile machines, document copiers, and the like, while the paper is outside of the printing device and whereby the cartridge, having the paper supply therein, may be placed directly within the paper supply tray of the printing device when use of the paper within the cartridge is desired. The paper cartridge taught herein generally comprises a unitary paperboard blank that enwraps the paper supply stack. The cartridge is open on both sides and at the feed end. The width of the cartridge paperboard thus being identical to that of the paper within the cartridge so that the cartridge will fit within the typical paper supply tray of the associated printing device. The cartridge configuration at the feed end will vary from printing device to printing device and will therefore be configured to cooperate with an associated printing device feed mechanism. Preferably small tabs are provided at the non-feed end of the cartridge extending from the bottom panel to the top panel to provide structural intedrigtdy to the cartridge; the tabs are positioned and sized so as not to interfere with the paper tray of the associated printing device.
Two embodiments are disclosed. The first embodiment teaches a cartridge having an integral feed end protective cover which may be folded back when the cartridge is placed within the paper tray of the printing device. A second embodiment teaches cartridge having no integral protective cover, however the second embodiment preferably includes a protective sheath within which the cartridge may be stored when not in use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENT INVENTION Referring now to figures 1 through 5. Figure 2 presents a plan view of a unitary paperboard blank 20 from which the paper protecting cartridge 10 is made. Blank 20 generally comprises a bottom panel 22, a top panel 24, and a locking flap 26. Bottom panel 22 is separated from top panel 24 by a pair of parallel, scored fold lines 28A and 28B. Similarly a pair of parallel, scored fold lines 32A and 32B separate top cover 24 and locking flap 26. Slots 36 and 38 are provided in bottom panel 22 and top panel 24, respectively, to receive therein locking flap 26 as will be described further below. Adhesive tabs 40A and 40B extend from the lower edge of top panel 24 as illustrated in figure 2. Adhesive tabs 40A and 40B each include a pair of parallel, scored fold lines 42A, 42B, 42C and 42D as illustrated in figure 2. Score lines 42B and 42C are coincident with the longitudinal edge 46 A and 46B of top panel 24. Depending upon the particular plain paper printing device for which the paper cartridge is intended, the bottom panel end configuration 48 may vary from device to device. The particular end configuration 48 identified by broken lines in figure 2 is believed suitable for most ink jet printing devices.
Figure 3 illustrates the first step in forming blank 20 into the paper cartridge 10, of figure 1, wherein the top panel 24 is folded over top of bottom panel 22, about fold lines 28A and 28B, so as to form a square box like end, see figure 7. It is to be noted that in figure 3, as in the following figures, a stack of paper 50 is shown placed between the bottom and top panels.
Figure 4 illustrates the paper stack sandwiched between the top panel 22 and bottom panel 24. Adhesive tabs 40A and 40B are folded about fold lines 42A, 42B, 42C, and 42D, as illustrated in figure 6, and adhesively adhered to top panel 24 thereby completing the cartridge 10. It is to be noted that no adhesive material is to be applied to the [portion of tabs 40 A and 40B where those tabs are in contact with the paper stack 50; otherwise the free movement of paper from the stack may be affected.
As an alternative, integral tabs 40A and 40B may be replaced by a separate, thin, tape like, or strap like, material of minimum thickness to keep the overall width dimension of the cartridge to a minimum so that it easily fits in the printing device paper loading tray. Further such tape like strap may be placed at any preselected location along the longitudinal edge 46A or 46B of the cartridge.
Referring now to figure 5. The top locking flap 26 is folded about fold lines 32 A and 32B with tongue 18 being tucked into slot 38 thereby forming the cartridge into its paper protecting and storage mode as illustrated in figure 1. When the cartridge is to placed in its intended printing device, the cartridge, as illustrated in figure 1, is flipped over as shown in figure 7, and locking flap 26 is folded, about fold line 34, with tongue 18 being placed inside slot 36 thereby presenting a cartridge configuration, as illustrated in figure 8, suitable for insertion into the paper supply tray of its associated printing device.
Now referring to figures 9 through 11. Figure 10 presents a plan view of a paperboard blank 100 suitable for forming an alternate embodiment of my paper cartridge as illustrated in figure 9. Blank 100 generally comprises a bottom panel 110, a top panel 112 separated by two parallel, scored fold lines 114A and 114B. Adhesive tabs 118A and 118B extend laterally outward from the side edges 116A and 116B of top panel 112 as illustrated in figure 10. Adhesive tabs 118A and 118B include parallel, scored fold lines 120A, 120B and 122A and 122B as illustrated in figure 10. Similar to the first embodiment, as illustrated in figures 1 through 9, the second embodiment also includes an end configuration 124, shown in broken lines in figure 10, that is customized to fit the associated paper printing device paper pickup mechanism. Depending upon the particular printing device and its paper feed mechanism, the end configuration may be changed as necessary.
Figure 11 illustrates folding blank 100 about fold lines 114A and 114B to form the second embodiment paper cartridge as illustrated in figure 9. The second embodiment as illustrated in figure 9 is similar to that of the first embodiment as illustrated in figure 1 except that the second embodiment of figure 9 does not have the protective end flap 26 of the figure 1 embodiment. However, in place of the foldable end flap 26 of embodiment one, a protective shroud 126 is provided for the cartridge of figure 9 as illustrated in figure 13. The structure and assembly of shroud 126 is illustrated in figures 12 through 15.
Figure 14 presents a plan view of a paperboard blank 130 from which shroud 126 is made. Blank 130 generally comprises a bottom panel 132 and a top panel 134 separated by a pair of parallel, scored fold lines 136A and 136B. Extending laterally outward from top panel 134 are adhesive flaps 136A and 136B. Adhesive flaps 136A and 136B include a pair of parallel, scored fold lines 138A, 138B, 142A and 142B as illustrated in figure 14.
Figure 15 illustrates the first step in forming shroud 126 from blank 130 whereby bottom panel 132 is folded about fold lines 136A and 136B after which adhesive flaps 136A and 136B are folded about fold lines 138A, 138B, 140A and HOB and adhesively adhered to bottom panel 132 as illustrated in figure 12. To protect cartridge 100 and its paper stock 50 therein cartridge 100 is slipped into shroud 120 as illustrated in fig 13.
Having described the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and its benefits and advantages, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the foregoing description is merely for the purpose of illustration and that numerous substitutions, rearrangements, and modifications may be made in the invention without departing from the scope and spirit of the appended claims.
