Abstract:
The multiple level carton box assembly consists of a series of open carton boxes, stacked one on top of the other so that the base (5) of each carton box acts as a serving tray and also becomes the cover of the adjacent carton box below. The carton boxes are secured to each other by means of vertical interlocking tongues (7C, 9C) extending above the front back side walls (7, 9) of each carton box which are inserted and wedged into the slots (7D, 9D) on the base (5) of the adjacent carton box above thus interlocking and stabilizing the assembly of carton boxes. Stability of the embodiment is attained by the folding corners (1, 2, 3, 4) which due to the double fold provide firm support of the adjacent carton box above as well as the horizontal semicircular tongues (7E, 7F, 9E, 9F) of each carton box which provide added support to the adjacent carton box above and thus prevent bending or collapsing of the embodiment. The multiple level carton box assembly is closed by only one cover (11) which is placed on the uppermost carton box.

Flan dont la mise en œuvre conduit à un tel récipient.
Abstract:
A tray for packing and transport of fruit and vegetables is made of corrugated board, cardboard or synthetic material. By cutting the board of previously mentioned materials, a tray blank is obtained enabling that the tray is easily, quickly and simply manually formed by folding firstly side wall panels (2) and end flaps (4) and then front wall panels (3), wing and flaps (7), foldable panel (5) and front foldable wall panel (6). Final forming of the tray (P) is carried out by means of a fastener (F), consisting of a case (15) and a cork (16), by inserting the case (15) into round apertures (8) made on connecting side wall panels (2) and wing end flaps (7) and by inserting the cork (16) into the aperture (19) on the case (15).
Abstract:
A container (10) includes a base (12), a pair of opposed first walls (14) and a pair of opposed second walls (16), with each second wall having at least one reinforcing pillar (20) the bottom of which reinforcing pillar abuts or substantially abuts the base, the reinforcing pillar projecting inwardly into the container and having an upper portion (24) extending above the top of the remainder of the second wall, the upper portion having a contact surface (26) for contacting the base of an upper container stacked on top of the container, so that in use the weight of the upper container, in contact with the contact surface, will bend the reinforcing pillar inwardly about the junction between the bottom of the reinforcing pillar and the base thereby bending the second wall inwardly.
Abstract:
A carton includes a first wall (12), a second wall (42) connected to the first wall 12) along a corner fold line (56) and disposed at an angle with respect to the first wall (12) to define a corner of the carton along the corner fold line (56), and a tear line (84) formed in the first wall (12) and extending into the second wall (42) to define a tear panel (82) disposed astride the corner fold line (56). The tear panel (82) includes a push tab (90) connected thereto along a transverse fold line (88) extending transversely of the corner fold line (56).
Abstract:
A food and beverage carrier (10) capable of being carried in one hand is disclosed. The carrier (10) includes a portion for carrying food items that is covered and a beverage container receptacle (20) for contacting sidewall portions of a cup while the bottom of the cup is supported by the bottom of the carrier (10). The carrier (10) is reinforced with folding intermediate panels (28) interconnecting handle panels (14, 16) with other panels. The carrier (10) is stored flat and easily opened into its in use configuration by use of an auto-bottom.
Abstract:
A disposable folding food tray (10) having container ports (38, 40) for mounting to a beverage container (11). The disposable tray is mounted to the beverage container such that the consumer need only hold the bottom portion of the container in one hand in order to support the food tray. The food tray includes a food support area (68) the size and shape of which can be adjusted to accommodate any desired food item. The tray is convenient in that one of the consumer's hands is always free, and the tray can be configured to fold into either a right handed or left handed version. The folding food tray can be conveniently and inexpensively made from a single piece of cardboard and supplied to the site of use in a generally flat configuration.
Abstract:
A method of erecting a liner for a block carton in a freezing frame intended therefor comprising an opening, comprising the steps of: providing a liner with a substantially rectangular bottom panel (3) connected to four wall panels in the form of a front and an opposed, rear side panel (2, 6) and two opposed end panels (4, 5), a substantially rectangular cover panel (7) connected along a side with the rear side panel and preferably comprising one or more cover flaps along the remaining sides of the cover, and corner segments (14) arranged in correspondence with the corners of the bottom panel and connected to both the adjoining side panel and the adjoining end panel; folding a first pair of two opposed wall panels (4, 5) down towards the bottom panel, whereby the corner segments that are connected to the wall panels are folded down on top of the adjacent wall panels (2, 6) that correspond thereto; pressing the liner down into the freezing frame whereby the second pair of not folded, adjacent wall panels are erected for abutment on the freezing frame; erecting the first pair of down-folded wall panels for abutment on the freezing frame, whereby the corner segments are folded and caused to abut between the wall panels of the first pair and the freezing frame. Such configuration of the corner segments enables the liner to be erected in a freezing frame with only a minimal risk of the corner segments being situated on the inside of the block carton thus erected.
Abstract:
A wafer container (10) for storing and transporting wafers (26) and the like, while protecting the wafers (26) from damage due to causes, including but not limited to, vibration or impact during shipping, contamination of the wafer surface, or static electricity. The container (10) includes a housing (12) with a top wall (14), bottom wall (22), sidewalls (16) and (18), and a back wall (20). The container (10) further includes a door (15) that preferably opens the entire front side of the housing (12). The sidewalls (16) and (18) preferably include a plurality of matching parallel grooves (28) spaced apart in a regular pitch. A plurality of cassettes (34), with dimensions selected to fit within the housing (12), are provided for holding the wafers (26). The cassette (34) preferably includes an upper surface (40), with a circular recess (38) formed therein to receive the wafer (26). An underlayment (42) formed of a resilient shock absorbing material is preferably formed within the circular recess (38). In use the wafer (26) is placed directly on the underlayment (42) of the cassette (34). The cassette (34) is then slid into a pair of matching grooves (28) in the housing (12).
Abstract:
The box is of the type comprising a planar laminar sheet of thermoshaped synthetic material wherein the side walls are hinged to the bottom wall along weakening lines, said side walls having two extreme wings which coincide in the respective vertical edges of the box and which are fixed in corner parts. The thermoshaped laminar part forming the box presents in the area of the summits of the base two corner parts which are separated by cuts made in the extreme wings of the side walls, the corner parts having pile-up centering means; the extreme wings of the side walls are held in the areas of the vertical edges by the two angle parts which are structured as extruded sections so as to be coupled to said wings of the vertical edges.
