Liquid storage container and method for folding the container
A liquid storage container which can be securely inflated within an external container. The liquid storage container includes a bag body and an ejection outlet. The bag body includes a plurality of bellows portions formed by accordion-folding the bag body along longitudinal crease lines, and has a double-folded portion formed by folding the bag body along an upper lateral crease line and a lower lateral crease line. With reference to the bag body, the following relations are satisfied: 10%<X/H<50%, 3%<Y/H<10%, where H is the length of the bag body, x is the distance between the top periphery and the lower lateral crease line, and Y is the distance between the upper lateral crease line and the lower lateral crease line.
ONE-PIECE, FOLDABLE COOLER
A cooler includes panels defining a storage area; corner panels; top panels forming a lid; a first handle panel connected to a first top panel and having a slot formed therein; a second handle panel connected to a second top panel and having a slot formed therein; and a first tab panel connected to a corner panel and having a tab defining a recess, the tab being configured to extend through the slot of the first handle panel and through the slot of the second handle panel for locking the handle panels and top panels in a fully closed, carry configuration of the cooler. Portions of the first and second handle panels are received within the recess defined by the tab. The second handle panel can be unlocked and the storage area accessed while holding the cooler with the first handle panel.

Container forming system and method
A bulk bin forming system configured as a container forming cell includes a multi-axis robot to which is attached a multifunction tool. One or more collapsed card board boxes are located at a first station of the container forming cell adjacent the robot. The robot and multifunction tool are configured to operate to grasp and move an individual box, orient and pre-form the box by folding flaps at a second station of the cell, and then move the box to a third station of the cell to mount the box to a support configured as a pallet to thereby form a bulk bin or bulk box container referred to as a gaylord container. The tool may include vacuum grippers for grasping the boxes and staplers for securing the formed box to the pallet, and may also be used to fold the bottom flaps prior to mounting the box to the pallet.
Knocked-Down Case Inspection and Erection System
Techniques for corrugate and chipboard knocked-down case inspection and assembly are described herein. In one example, the disclosed techniques include system to inspect and assemble a knocked-down case. The system may include a memory device, a processor in communication with the memory device, a measuring component to obtain a measurement of an aspect of the knocked-down case, a calculation component to determine a difference between the obtained measurement and a standard measurement, a case-handling tool to at least partially erect the knocked-down case into an erected case, and a programming component executed by the processor, to operate the case-handling tool. In an example, the programming component is configured based at least in part on output from at least one of the measuring component and the calculation component.
Method and Device for Forming Package Bodies Which Are Open on One Side Using an Oscillating Gripper
Described and illustrated is a device for at least partially unfolding package sleeves, having a magazine comprising a stack formed from package sleeves, wherein the package sleeves of the stack are folded flat around at least two folding edges extending in the longitudinal direction of the package sleeves and wherein a gripper is provided for gripping a side of the package sleeves facing away from the stack and for moving, in particular pulling, the package sleeves along a withdrawal transport path with the folding edges into grooves of at least one receptacle of a moulding station and wherein the grooves are spaced so that the folding edges of the package sleeves are spaced apart further in the magazine than in the grooves. In order to further prevent operational malfunctions and allow a more reliable and largely malfunction-free production of packaging bodies which are open on one side from package sleeves which are open on both sides, it is provided that a drive is assigned to the gripper and/or the grooves for moving the package sleeve section gripped by the gripper first along the withdrawal transport path across a groove plane which connects the grooves, then back against the withdrawal transport path across the groove plane, and then again along the withdrawal transport path across the groove plane.
Packaging divided in its direction of height and method for producing such a packaging
A packaging that can be unfolded and forms a circumferentially closed ring has vertically positioned sidewalls that are connected to each other by commonly embodied corners of a spatial shape. In at least two or more corner regions, support strips extending across a corner and provided with upwardly and downwardly projecting clamping flaps are pushed onto the top edges of the bottom sidewalls, the upwardly projecting clamping flaps form between them an insertion channel extending along the extension of the support strip into which the top sidewalls can be inserted, wherein the length dimensions and the spatial shape of the sidewalls below and above the strip plane correspond with each other. The sidewalls positioned on top of each other and connected by the support strips to each other form a common packaging with commonly formed flat outer surfaces, respectively.
DISPLAY HUTCH
A container includes a plurality of panels connected together at fold lines configured for extending at least partially around an interior space. The panels include a front panel, a first side panel, a back panel and a second side panel. The back panel includes a first back portion and a second back portion. At least one of the first back portion or the second back portion is free from openings. A shelf panel is foldably connected to the front panel. The first back portion is adhered to the shelf panel.

Fixture for folding a miniature box
A box erecting device for folding a box is disclosed herein. The box erecting device includes a folding plate and a lid erecting system. The folding plate is configured for erecting a box, and a folding notch including a first edge and a second edge is formed in the folding plate. The first edge is configured for erecting a first dust flap of the box, and the second edge is configured for erecting a second dust flap of the box. The lid erecting system is disposed adjacent to the folding plate and is configured for erecting a lid of the box. The lid erecting system includes a tab funnel and a folding tool. The tab funnel includes a ramp for retaining the dust flaps while closing the lid. The folding tool includes a hooked ramp for causing a distal end of the lid to be inserted into the box.
