VEHICLE FUEL TANK FOR IMPROVED CRASHWORTHINESS
A fuel tank in a vehicle. The fuel tank includes a protective outer shell, an inner shell and a crush sleeve. The protective outer shell defines an outer tank. The inner shell defines an inner tank which holds fuel. The inner shell is housed in the outer shell and is isolated from the outer shell by a space. The crush sleeve is provided in the space between the outer shell and the inner shell. The crush sleeve supports the inner shell and maintains the inner shell in position relative to the outer shell. Wherein during an impact to the vehicle, the force of the impact causes the outer shell and the crush sleeve to deform and the inner shell to move relative to the outer shell.
PACKAGING BAG
A packaging bag is a packaging bag made of a laminate formed in a bag shape which is in a rectangular shape in plan view, the laminate being composed of a sheet-shaped substrate made of a resin, a cushioning material made of a foamed resin sheet laminated on an inner side relative to the substrate, and a sealant layer laminated on an inner side relative to the cushioning material. The packaging bag includes a seal section in which the sealant layers are sealed to each other on one end edge in a flow direction (MD direction) of the foamed resin sheet, the seal section extending in a direction perpendicular to the flow direction of the foamed resin sheet, wherein a notch is formed in the seal section to be oriented to the other end edge in the flow direction of the foamed resin sheet.
Method of packaging a product for shipment and product-shipping package
A method for packaging a product and a product-shipping package. A pad includes upper and lower horizontal score lines inset from upper and lower edges, and right and left vertical score lines inset from right and left edges. The score lines define a central portion, upper and lower portions, and right and left portions. The product is placed on the central portion. The upper and lower portions fold toward the central portion, contacting the product. A wrap of restraining material is wrapped around the pad and the product. The right and left portions fold to an upright position perpendicular to the pad. The right and left vertical score lines include die-cut tabs. When the right and left portions fold to the upright position, the die-cut tabs extend to an aligned position below and perpendicular to the pad. The pad and the wrapped product insert into a master shipping container. The wrap holds the product in position on the pad. The upright right and left portions and the extended die-cut tab portions t suspend the pad and product within the container.
SEALABLE TRAY SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USING SAME
A sealable tray system for sealing a product in a transport-ready position. The sealable tray system has an insert, a first lid, an outer basin, and a second lid. The insert has a well portion with a base surface that extends upwardly to support the product. The insert also has a flange portion that extends outwardly from the well portion and is sealingly engaged by the first lid. The outer basin receives the insert in the transport-ready position, and the second lid engages a top surface of the outer basin. Methods of sealing a product in a transport-ready position are also disclosed.
Biodegradable insulative shipping container
A shipping container, particularly suited for shipping wine bottles within a shipping box, having a pair of container halves. Each container half includes an outer tray that is shaped to fit the shipping box, and an inner tray that is configured for securely holding one or more wine bottles. Both the outer tray and inner tray are made of readily recyclable pulp material, and have a void therebetween. A starch based biodegradable insulation material fills the void therebetween, such that the shipping container is made entirely of biodegradable material, yet is sturdy and has insulative properties.

Food container
A lunch box assembly having a main housing having a lid rotatably, hingedly attached to a base to provide access to an opened interior of one or more compartments is disclosed. The lid can have ferrously magnetic material and recesses to accept magnets. The magnets can be shaped to fit the recesses. The base can have compartments aligned with corresponding compartments in the lid. The base and the lid can form one or more closed food storage compartments that separate the contents from the neighboring compartments. A latch on the base and lid can produce a clamping force on a small lidded container or containers placed in one or more of the compartments. The clamping force can clamp the lidded container closed and prevent leakage of fluids in the container.
Vehicle fuel tank for improved crashworthiness
A fuel tank in a vehicle. The fuel tank includes a protective outer shell, an inner shell and a crush sleeve. The protective outer shell defines an outer tank. The inner shell defines an inner tank which holds fuel. The inner shell is housed in the outer shell and is isolated from the outer shell by a space. The crush sleeve is provided in the space between the outer shell and the inner shell. The crush sleeve supports the inner shell and maintains the inner shell in position relative to the outer shell. Wherein during an impact to the vehicle, the force of the impact causes the outer shell and the crush sleeve to deform and the inner shell to move relative to the outer shell.
