The application provides a blank for forming a handheld tool. The blank includes an elongated sheet that includes a top surface and a bottom surface, a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end, a first side end and a second side end, and a circumferential edge. The circumferential edge includes a rear edge, a front edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge. The elongated sheet also includes at least one upward bending line extending, and a second upward bending segment, and a connecting segment. The elongated sheet also includes a first downward bending line and a second downward bending line.

A method and apparatus for pleating or otherwise shaping a web are described herein. The method and apparatus may have numerous applications. In some embodiments, the method and apparatus are used in the formation, filling, and sealing of unit dose packages for consumer products. A method and apparatus for forming sealing two moving webs together, which webs have portions that are non-planar are also described herein.

Wrapped paperboard packaging is described. In one independent aspect, a packaging structure, such as, for example, an edge protector, a corner board, etc., may generally include a first ply having a first width, a second ply having a second width wider than the first width, and a third ply having a third width wider than the second width. The second ply is wrapped around ends of the first ply, and the third ply is wrapped around the first ply and the second ply. The third ply overlaps at a portion (e.g., an intermediate portion, an apex, etc.) of the packaging structure.

A cuboctahedron-shaped photo cube, comprised of six identically folded sheets of strong, but flexible transparent thermoplastic, assembled to allow the display of six two or three dimensional pieces of art or other objects. Each sheet has a square area, serving as a display panel and is accompanied by a backing sheet to press two-dimensional art firmly against it. Users access the interior by pulling a sheet from the structure. Art or objects are then placed inside the unit. To replace the removed sheet, one of its winged tabs is pinched with a thumb and forefinger and inserted into one of the available slots on the structure until it snaps into place. This action is repeated for the remaining aligned tabs and slots. The purpose of this invention is to present six display panels simultaneously without any being placed on the bottom, hidden from the viewer.

Among other things, a piece of furniture is formed from three separate precut pieces of flat cardboard. A first one of the pieces has a bottom edge to rest on a floor with the first piece rising vertically from the bottom edge and has at least one slot at an upper edge of the first piece. A second one of the pieces has a bottom edge to rest on the floor with the second piece rising from the bottom edge and having at least one slot at an upper edge of the second piece. A third one of the pieces has a crease across the piece and at least two slots along at least one edge that is parallel to the fold. The piece of furniture is formed by mating the one slot in the first piece with one of the slots of the third piece, folding the third piece of cardboard at the crease, and mating the one slot in the second piece with another one of the slots of the third piece, with the third piece folded along the crease.

To provide a foldable structure to which stiffness is imparted so that non-uniform extension and contraction is inhibited even when each surface is formed of a flexible material, a manufacturing method and a manufacturing device of the foldable structure, and a non-transitory computer-readable computer medium storing a program. A foldable structure including at least two tubular structures in which the two tubular structures include a shared surface array which is continuous shared surfaces shared by each other, and a twisting characteristic in the shared surface array of one tubular structure is in a direction opposite to that of the twisting characteristic in the shared surface array of the other tubular structure.
