摘要:
A food enclosing container that has a top member and a bottom member, each formed of absorbent, corrugated paperboard, wherein at least one of the members has pressformed sidewalls. The paperboard has at least three layers, a smooth first layer, a smooth third layer and a corrugated layer interposed between the first and third layers. The top member has an unsealed interior surface so that it can absorb moisture from a contained food product. The bottom member has a grease barrier layer within the interior of its paperboard preferably positioned on the top surface of the third layer. Each of the members have engageable peripheral rims, which have a releasable, rebondable cohesive applied to the rims to permit the members to be bonded together, separated and rebonded together.
摘要:
An apparatus for pressforming a paperboard sheet into an articulable pressformed container. The apparatus includes a pair of male and female, matingly engagable dies, which have interfacing forming surfaces in the shape of a container for engaging a paperboard sheet. A first one of the dies has a plurality of ridges extending from the forming surface and a second one of the dies has a plurality of grooves within the forming surface. The grooves register with the ridges when the dies matingly engage for creating creases in the paperboard sheet. The invention also includes a method for simultaneously shaping the container and forming fold creases on the container thereby making the container articulable.
摘要:
A die set apparatus for forming catch tabs on a flange of a first paperboard container component, such as a lid, while the paperboard is being pressed between a pair of mating dies. A plurality of cavities are formed in and circumferentially spaced around a first die, each cavity opening toward a second die and having a shearing edge. A plurality of radial passages extend through a second die, each passage in registration with one of the cavities. A plurality of catch punches are mounted for radial movement through a radial passage and into its associated cavity. Each catch punch also has a shearing edge aligned to closely slide past the shearing edge of its associated cavity. An actuator drives the catch punches into the cavities to shear a slit in the interposed paperboard and drive an adjacent segment of paperboard into the cavity to preform the catch tabs. As the dies are separated, each catch tab is caught on the edge of the cavity and bent inwardly, tearing the paperboard at opposite ends of the slit so that the tears form opposite sides of the catch tabs.
