Abstract:
The invention concerns a package for bottles, comprising an envelope (1) having parts which are alternatively planar (6) and accordion-folded (7), and capable of being unfolded to receive a liquid for refrigerating the bottle (B). Each accordion-folded part (7) is folded on either side of a planar folding line (11), extending in zigzag from the base (5) of the envelope (1) to the free edge (12) thereof.
Abstract:
The inventive arrangement (1) for sending messages consists of a pre-printed section and an additional section (9,11) that can be completed by hand. The pre-printed section (9) is located on a different surface from the section (11) that can be completed by hand. Both parts (9,11) can be joined to each other to form a unit by pivoting one surface towards the other. The messages are coded. The surfaces form part of a packet (2). The packet (2) consists of a cuboid with six surfaces. Messages are contained on two opposite surfaces (7,8) of the cuboid.
Abstract:
A foldable tote box is formed by a one-piece corrugated board, especially corrugated plastic, including a rectangular bottom panel (2), a pair of sidewall panels (1) and a pair of endwall panels (7, 8). Each sidewall panel (1) has a pair of filler beam panels (4-6) forming a hollow support beam. Each endwall panel includes a wall section (8) and a flap section (7) on which a pair of locking insert tabs (66) are formed to be engaged with a pair of holding tabs (77) on the filler beam panels (4-6). The locking insert tabs and holding tabs are formed by cutting lines. The locking insert tabs (66) are longer and narrower than the holding tab (77) allowing insertion of the locking insert tabs (66) as the holding tabs (77) are pressed away from the filler beam panel (4-6), and, upon release, the holding tabs (66) can hold and lock the locking insert tabs (66).
Abstract:
A corrugated board tray having stacking lugs (10) on its side walls, the side walls (3, 4) being of double thickness, and the stacking lug comprising an integral upward extension of only the outer one of the side wall panels, folded over inwardly and secured to the inside of the wall.
Abstract:
A collapsible box (200) includes a rectangular bottom panel (F), longitudinal side panels (F1, F2) hinged to said bottom panel (F) by means of longitudinal creasing lines (10, 20) and head panels (T1, T2) articulated to the edges of the bottom panel (F) by means of transversal creasing lines (30, 40). Two bottom folding lines (70, 71), parallel and inner with respect to the transversal creasing lines (30, 40), extend across the bottom panel (F), defining the width of the box (200) when collapsed. Two pairs of inclined folding lines (50, 51, 60, 61) extend from the ends of the bottom folding lines (70, 71) and cross the longitudinal side panels (F1, F2). The box (200) is also equipped with removable closing means for maintaining the new collapsed configuration.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for securing a pour spout fitment to a panel of a filled and sealed thermoplastic coated carton, wherein a machine (10) is mounted over a conveyor (12) conveying a line of cartons. Within the machine (10), a selected panel surface of each filled and sealed carton is heated to a predetermined temperatures; next, at least an annular surface of a flange of the fitment is heated to a predetermined temperature. When the heated surface of the fitment is applied to the heated surface of the carton, the heat energy is transferred to the latter surface to an extent capable of activating the thermoplastic coating thereon. Upon pressing and cooling, the fitment and the carton surface are bonded together, without the need for a back-up or support mechanism, such as a mandrel or anvil. Alternatively, the fitment may be secured to the carton by way of a jetted-on, circular bead of hot melt adhesive.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a meal service tray comprising at least a top panel provided with at least a hole for receiving a flat container, such as a plate or the like, characterised in that it comprises lateral support means enabling said device to rest in a stable position relative to the substantially horizontal top plane.

Abstract:
A container, in particular for transporting fruit and vegetables, has a bottom and four side walls that can be folded onto the bottom. The side walls are connected by hinges to the bottom and the hinges are designed as plug-in connecting elements, so that the side walls may be plugged with their hinges arranged at their lower edge into corresponding openings in the bottom of the container and locked therein by locking elements.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a folding container with four vertical sidewalls which are hinged to a baseplate and each of which is pivotable inwards into a horizontal position. In the opened-up position, the projections (6) and recesses (7) on the adjacent edges (4, 5) of two sidewalls engage positively in one another and are separable. Several projections (6) and recesses (7) lie near one another in a vertical row on both adjacent edges (4, 5), the projections are T-shaped in cross-section, the free spaces between the T-shaped projections (6) form the recesses (7), have the same T-shape and are only slightly larger in their dimensions than the T-shaped projections (6) of the adjacent wall which lie in the free spaces/recesses.
