摘要:
A container has a base panel, at least one side panel extending upwardly from the base panel, and at least one end panel extending upwardly from the base panel. At least one corner is formed at a junction between the side panel and end panel. A flange extends laterally outward from the upper edges of at least one of the side panel, end panel, and corner. An injection-molded structure extends along at least a portion of the flange, the injection-molded structure includes a base portion adjacent the upper edges of the side wall and the end wall, a distal portion extending laterally outward from the base portion, and an indentation in the distal portion extending along at least a portion of the flange of the container. An apparatus for forming the container and a method of manufacturing are also disclosed.

A paperboard carton doubles as a shipping container for articles such as beverage cans and a cooler for containing ice to cool the articles when the carton is opened. The top portion of the carton is breached by removing an opening strip defined by zipper rules. Once breached, the tops and side panels of the carton are opened up to form an upwardly open chimney or skirt into which ice can be placed to cool the contents of the carton. Gussets formed in the lower corners of the cartons insure that water from melting ice does not leak prematurely from the carton.

The combination of insulating material with microwave interactive food packaging for enhanced cooking properties is disclosed. An insulating microwave packaging material (200) and a method of making the same are also disclosed. In one embodiment, the insulating microwave packaging material (200) is formed by bonding a microwave interactive material substrate (205) that creates sensible heat upon exposure to microwave energy to a second substrate (210) along bond lines (212) arranged in a pattern to form closed cells (214). Upon impingement of the insulating microwave packaging material (200) by microwave energy in a microwave oven, the closed cells (214) expand to form insulating pockets (216). One side of the insulating pocket (216) bulges and lofts above the opposite side. When a food product is situated on the insulating microwave packaging material (200), the insulating pockets (216) insulate the food product from the microwave oven environment.
摘要:
A tool (1631) for forming a container (1635), which tool comprises a cavity, a core operatively associated with the cavity and being operable to move within the cavity, as well as at least one articulated section movably received in the cavity for initially gripping a portion of the blank to hold the blank as the core is further moved into the cavity for form the blank into the container.
摘要:
A container (30) has a patterned susceptor region (22) in the bottom, a sidewall region (26), a fold region (24) between the bottom region and the sidewall region, and a flange region (28) that forms a flange container (30). The patterned susceptor region (22) includes arrangements of microwave−interactive features disposed generally along respective close plane curves, which reduces overheating and increases the filling temperature of the food product. The fold region (24) contains microwave transparent features that minimize de−lamination of the container (30) in the fold region (24) and also create a generally transmissive area in the vicinity of the heel of the food product to improve the cooking thereof. The sidewall region (26) shields the periphery of the food product so that it is not overcooked while promoting an appropriate degree of pie dough shell browning. The flange region (28) is transmissive to promote an appropriate degree of cooking of the food product crust.
摘要:
A carrier (10) for bottles. The handle area (22, 24) of the top panel (14) is reinforced by a strap (26) connected at its ends to a dust flap (54, 62) in each end panel. The strap (26) is adhered to the top panel (14) and portion of the upper end panel flaps (18), while the portions extending to the dust flaps (54, 62) comprise gusset webs (79, 81). During formation of a carrier from an erected flattened tube, the dust flaps (54, 62) connected to the reinforcing strap (26) are automatically closed upon raising the upper end panel flaps (18). This pulls the upper dust flap portions (64) in against the bottle necks, providing a tight fit between the bottles and the upper portions of the carrier (10).
摘要:
An enclosed carrier (10) for beverage bottles. The side and end panels (12, 16) taper inwardly near the top panel to provide a tight enclosure for the bottles. The dust flaps are comprised of upper and lower sections (22, 24) separated from each other in the corner areas of the carrier. The upper dust flap sections may be connected at a point spaced from the separated portions by a strap. Fold lines connecting the strap to the upper dust flap section allow it to be folded about an intermediate fold line in the final carrier package. The top panel (14) may be comprised of two plies, the lower ply including end glue flaps adhered to upper end panel flaps. This eliminates an edge which may tend to snag the tops of bottles being loaded.
