A tray having: an annular sidewall having upper and lower annular peripheral edges, an upper annular peripheral rim which is integral with the upper annular peripheral edge, and a base having an annular peripheral edge which is integral with the lower annular peripheral edge of the sidewall, wherein the rim, the sidewall and the base are composed of a thermoplastic polymer and the sidewall and the base define a central concavity for packaging a product, wherein the base has a lattice structure of elongate foam ribs interconnected by foam junctions, wherein each foam rib has opposite ends, and each end is integrally connected to either the annular peripheral edge of the base or one of the foam junctions, wherein each foam rib and each foam junction has opposed upper and lower unfoamed solid skins of the thermoplastic polymer on opposite sides of a central cellular foam core of the thermoplastic polymer.
Package for containers
A construct for holding a plurality of containers. The construct can comprise a tray portion comprising at least a bottom panel and a side panel foldably connected to the bottom panel, a cover portion comprising at least a top panel, an open configuration for inserting or removing the plurality of containers from the construct, and a closed configuration for at least partially retaining the plurality of containers in the construct. The top panel can be opposite to the bottom panel and the cover portion can be spaced apart from the side panel when the construct is in the closed configuration. The tray portion can be for at least partially receiving at least a first container of the plurality of containers, and the construct can be for receiving a second container of the plurality of containers between the first container and the top panel when the construct is in the closed configuration.
Aerodynamic Tote Package
An example tote package is disclosed for carrying a load external to a UAV. The tote package may be generated by folding a sheet of material. The sheet may include a middle section, a first side section, and a second side section. When the sheet is folded, the middle section may create a bottom portion of the tote package. Additionally, the first side section may create a first side portion tapering up from the edge of the bottom portion to the middle of the top portion of the tote package. Furthermore, the second side section may create a second side portion tapering up from the opposite edge to the middle of the top portion. At the top portion, the first and second sections may connect to create a handle. The first side, second side, and middle sections may be folded to create front and back portions of the tote package.
REVERSE TUCK LOCK
A foldable container moveable between a flat configuration and a three-dimensional configuration is provided. The container includes a first panel having a first engagement feature, a second panel having a second engagement feature, and a third panel having a third engagement feature. The first engagement feature is configured to engage with the second engagement feature so as to secure the container in the three-dimensional configuration. The first engagement feature is also configured to engage with the third engagement feature so as to inhibit the first engagement feature from becoming disengaged from the second engagement feature.
Container and manufacture thereof
A container having an annular sidewall with upper and lower annular peripheral edges and a lattice structure of elongate ribs interconnecting the upper and lower annular peripheral edges, wherein the lattice structure is an open framework defining a plurality of sidewall openings, and a base having an annular peripheral edge which is integral with the lower annular peripheral edge of the sidewall, the annular peripheral edge of the base surrounding a base wall structure which is integral therewith, the base wall structure having at least one injection moulding sprue at a central region of the base wall structure, wherein the at least one injection moulding sprue is connected to the upper annular peripheral edge of the annular sidewall by the base wall structure, the annular peripheral edge of the base, the lower annular peripheral edge of the sidewall and the lattice structure of the sidewall, wherein the sidewall and the base are composed of a thermoplastic polymer and define a central concavity for packaging a product, and wherein the container further has a flexible sheet which is bonded to the lattice structure to cover the sidewall openings and form a sealed sidewall surface of the container.
Container With Liner
A container for holding a food product. The container can comprise a base layer and a liner at least partially attached to an inner surface of the base layer, a flange comprising a central panel of the base layer, an opening extending in the central panel, and a sidewall comprising at least a panel foldably connected to the central panel along the opening.
Container with liner
A container for holding a food product. The container can comprise a base layer and a liner at least partially attached to an inner surface of the base layer, a flange comprising a central panel, an opening extending in the central panel, and a sidewall comprising a plurality of panels. Each panel of the plurality of panels can be foldably connected to the central panel, and at least one panel can be foldably connected to the central panel along the opening. A bottom wall can comprise at least first and second bottom panels foldably connected to respective panels. The second bottom panel at least partially overlaps the first bottom panel so that the second bottom panel extends along the inner surface of the base layer, and the first bottom panel extends along the inner surface of the base layer at least via a cutout in the second bottom panel.
Packages for and methods of packaging food products
A package for food products including a first portion, a second portion, and at least one indicator. The first portion has a first closed end, at least one first side wall surrounding the first closed end, and a first open end opposite the first closed end. The second portion has a second closed end, at least one second side wall surrounding said second closed end, and a second open end opposite the second closed end. The first portion and second portion are movably connected at their respective open ends. The at least one indicator is placed in communication with the package such that when the package is expanded to a desired inner volume the indicator is activated. The closed end of either portion may be opened when a desired inner volume of a food product is reached.
Container and manufacture thereof
An intermediate article for assembly to form a container, the intermediate article having a base which is polygonal in plan and having an annular peripheral edge with a plurality of edge portions surrounding a base wall structure, a plurality of wall elements around the base, each wall element being adjacent to a respective edge portion of the polygonal base, wherein each wall element has a pair of opposite outwardly extending edges having a sidewall structure therebetween, each outwardly extending edge comprising at least one member of a respective fixing mechanism for affixing adjacent outwardly extending edges of adjacent wall elements, wherein the sidewall and the base are composed of an injection moulded thermoplastic polymer, and a flexible sheet having a central part which is bonded to the base wall structure and a plurality of extending parts, each extending part being connected to, and extending away from, the central part, each extending part being bonded to the sidewall structure of a respective wall element, wherein each extending part is connected to the central part by a respective hinge part of the flexible sheet, whereby each wall element is hingedly connected to the base by the respective hinge part, wherein the wall elements can be hinged upwardly relative to the base to form a container having a sidewall which is polygonal in plan and defines a central concavity for packaging a product, wherein the sidewall has the plurality of wall elements which are connected in series to form an endless wall member extending upwardly from the base, each outwardly extending edge being affixed to an adjacent outwardly extending edge of an adjacent wall element by a respective fixing mechanism at a respective corner portion of the sidewall.
