Container having a push-in locking device and blank therefor
A container formed from at least one blank of sheet material includes a tray, a cover configured to close the tray, and a locking device. The tray includes a tray front panel. The cover includes a cover front panel that extends downwardly from a front edge of a cover top panel. The cover front panel is configured to be positioned in an at-least partially overlapping arrangement with the tray front panel when the cover is closed. The locking device includes a locking tab hingedly attached to the cover top panel and struck in part from the cover top panel and in part from the cover front panel. The locking device also includes a locking recess struck from an upper edge of the tray front panel. The locking device is configured such that the locking tab can be pressed down into the locking recess to selectively secure the cover to the tray in a closed and locked configuration.
CONTAINERS FOR TRANSPORTING ITEMS AND METHODS OF ARRANGING SUCH CONTAINERS
Containers for storing and transporting items such as but not limited to traditional disposable aluminum pans, and methods of arranging such containers. A first container includes a base panel, four side panels coupled to the base panel, two cover panels pivotally coupled to two of the side panels, and two top panels pivotally coupled to the other two side panels. A second container includes a base panel, four side panels coupled to the base panel, two cover panels pivotally coupled to two of the side panels, a top panel pivotally coupled to another of the side panels, a front panel pivotally coupled to the top panel, and a separation panel pivotally coupled to the last of the side panels. The containers are configured to be arranged in assembled configurations that define enclosed compartments suitable for storing items.
Merchandise storage and display mount
A merchandise storage and display mount includes a support that fits within a recess of the merchandise to be stored and displayed. The merchandise can be a five-sided protective case for a hand-held electronic device. The case defines an recess that receives a portion of the mount. The mount is formed from a foldable material and can be erected from a flat blank by folding the material and gluing at selected locations. The mount includes stiffeners that add durability to the mount. The mount is durable and can be used in combination with different merchandise storage devices.
SELF-CLOSING PACKAGING BOX
The present disclosure discloses a self-closing packaging box. When one end of a box body needs to be sealed, each of a first inner lining board, a second inner lining board, and a third inner lining board cover the one end of the box body, then one or more first connectors are changed to a folded position and inserted into the box body through one or more first insertion holes, so that a first board finally covers the one end of the box body, and finally the one or more first connectors are automatically unfolded to be in an unfolded position to be clamped to the one or more first insertion holes to perform a self-closing function.
LEAK-RESISTANT PAPER CLAMSHELL CONTAINERS
Blanks for forming clamshell containers and the resulting clamshell containers are described. The clamshell containers include a tray and a lid that are hingedly connected together. The tray is liquid tight, and typically includes gussets on each corner to prevent leakage. The lid and tray can be locked via at least one locking mechanism, optionally two different locking mechanisms. A first locking mechanism involves a front panel on the tray, with an extension portion that terminates in a hook or tab. The extension portion can fold over the front panel of the lid, and the hook or tabs slide into a slit(s) on the top of the lid. An optional second locking mechanism involves lid detents and tray detents. In some embodiments, in the locked position, the lid detents are underneath the tray detents and the tray detents retain the lid detents in place until a force is applied.
METHOD FOR INSTALLING A COVERING RELATIVE TO A FRAME OF AN ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURE AND ASSOCIATED ALIGNMENT TOOLS
A method for installing a covering relative to a frame of an architectural structure includes unfolding a package defining a cavity configured to store the covering, with the package including an alignment tool. Furthermore, the method includes positioning the alignment tool relative to the frame such that a first panel of the tool is positioned adjacent to a vertically-extending surface of the frame and a second panel of the tool is positioned adjacent to horizontally-extending surface of the frame. Additionally, the method includes forming mounting holes in one of the vertically-extending surface at first mounting hole locations identified by apertures defined by the first panel or the horizontally-extending surface of the frame at second mounting hole locations identified by apertures defined by the second panel.
BOX WITH FOLDABLE HANDLE
A box can include a first side panel; a second side panel positioned perpendicular to the first side panel; a top panel joined to the first side panel; and a handle assembly, the handle assembly including a handle portion attached the top panel, the handle portion including a tab at a side end of the handle portion, and a locking panel attached to the second side panel, the locking panel defining a cut pattern, the cut pattern defining a space therewithin, the cut pattern defining a top edge and an inner flap, the top edge of the cut pattern being a fold line formed by folding the inner flap up above the top edge; and wherein the tab is received by the space.
PARTITION INSERT AND ASSOCIATED CONTAINER SYSTEM AND METHOD
Provided is a container system comprising a container and a partition insert. The container has a bottom wall and a plurality of side walls. The bottom wall and the side walls define an internal volume. The partition insert is connected to the container and is within the internal volume. The partition insert has a partition panel selectively movable between at least a stowed configuration and a raised configuration. In the raised configuration the partition panel divides the internal volume into at least two compartments.
AN IMPROVED CONTAINER
A sealed container for the storage of a plurality of articles comprising an open topped receptacle having a lip that defines an opening through which the articles may pass into and from said receptacle and closure means, including a cover that is hingedly connected to the receptacle and which is sealably connected to the receptacle, for closing the opening. The receptacle also includes a flap that is hingedly connected to the cover and wherein the flap in one position is adapted to overly the cover and wherein information relating to the contents of the container is displayed on the cover and on the flap.
CARDBOARD CONTAINER WITH INTEGRATED LID
A cardboard container has an integral lid and is obtained from a cardboard sheet duly die-cut in a single piece in which a central sector or bottom is defined, from whose edges two respective isoscelic inverted trapezoidal sectors emerge that determine the larger and smaller side walls of the container. Two of these walls are provided in correspondence to their lateral edges with tabs for gluing together the adjoining walls. From one of the side walls there emerges a sector that acts as a lid, with a configuration in accordance with the configuration of the bottom but with proportionally larger dimensions, which ends in opposition to its fold line in a tab for closing and stabilizing the lid.
