Abstract:
The present invention relates to a one piece support member made of a planar material which comprises fold lines (1) adapted to form cavities and banks having a formulated geometry suitable for displaying and packaging of products. The support member of the invention comprises intervals A (4), B (5), C (6), D (7), E (8), E1 (9), F (10) and F1 (11) defined by the fold lines to form said geometry in a periodically repeating manner.
Abstract:
A packaging divider 10 is produced from a sheet element 12 with an axis 18 by making spaced slits 20 along the axis 18, folding the sheet 12 to form elongate apexes 28,30 that extend perpendicular to the axis 18 and pass midway through the slits 20, applying adhesive 32 to the facing inside surfaces of each apex 28,30 to attach the facing inside surfaces together, and folding the sheet element 12 along its axis 18 to form a three dimensional package divider 10, with parts of the apexes 28,30 protruding outwardly on both sides of the axis 18 to form protuberances 36. The resilience of at least one side of each protuberance 36 causes it to curve between its apex 28,30 and zones 34 that are generally coplanar with the axis 18 and the curvature of the protuberance 36 provides structural strength.
Abstract:
A structure (PET bottle, for example) (A) with folding lines, having a plurality of polygonal parts (P) and linear part-connectors for mutually connecting the outer sides of respective parts (P), with foldable linear folding lines (M, V) provided along the linear part-connectors, wherein the folding lines (M, V) consist of a plurality of ridged folding lines (M) ridge-folded at one surface side of the structure when viewed from the one surface side and more than one furrowed folding lines (V), with respective folding lines satisfying folding requirements. A novel folding method, wherein a wall-shaped structure is divided into polygonal planar parts (P) by many folding lines, and folding lines (M, V) at boundary portions between respective planar parts are mad foldable; and a novel folding line forming mold and a folding line forming method.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a consumer-friendly, ready-to-bake food item containment product (100) containing a food item (104) disposed on a planar sheet (102) of ovenable material, wherein the sheet has a compact configuration for shipping and storage that is capable of being transformed to an expanded configuration in which the food item portions are arranged in spaced locations on the sheet in position for baking into the individual baked food item products. The present invention also relates to a method for preparing individual food item portions for baking wherein a plurality of food item portions are disposed on a planar sheet of ovenable material capable of being transformed from the compact configuration to a flat planar configuration and changing the sheet from the compact configuration to the flat planar configuration to arrange the food item portions on the sheet for baking. The food items may include appetizers, entrees, or dessert type items, including sweet doughs.

Abstract:
Miura-Ori-like origami, corresponding to a smoothly varying tessellation of unit cells, each of which is composed of a 2x2 grid of quadrilaterals, is employed to closely approximate a curved surface by one that can be easily collapsed and deployed. The unit cells do not necessarily perfectly repeat, but do vary smoothly across the origami pattern.
Abstract:
A deployable structure, comprising: a first construction unit comprising a spacing module and a first flange module, wherein: the spacing module comprises first, second, third and fourth sheet units that are hinged together; the first flange module comprises fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth sheet units that are hinged together; and the spacing module and first flange module are connected together by hinges in such a way as to be switchable by rotation about the hinges between: a storage state in which the first to eighth sheet units are substantially coplanar; and a deployed state in which the first flange module is compressed in two orthogonal directions relative to the storage state.
Abstract:
La présente invention concerne un flan (1) en matière en feuille de carton pour la réalisation d'un croisillon (2) ainsi que le procédé, la machine et le croisillon correspondants. Le flan comporte au moins un premier jeu de volets, ledit premier jeu comprenant un premier volet (3) rectangulaire ou carré, propre à former le fond du croisillon, relié à un deuxième volet (5) sensiblement carré ou rectangulaire, propre à former une paroi intermédiaire entre deux compartiments, le deuxième volet comportant un premier ergot (7) de verrouillage et un troisième volet central (10) relié au premier volet située du côté correspondant à l'ergot, sensiblement rectangulaire et muni d'une première languette (12) ajourée agencée pour se verrouiller avec le premier ergot pour maintenir le flan en volume afin de réaliser le croisillon.
