11505373 · 2022-11-22 · ·

A produce and foodstuff receptacle is disclosed containing a tamper evident locking mechanism to lock a separate lid and container. The receptacle has a fitted corner for allowing lid and container attachment in only one position. Lid and container matching connectors allow secure and reusable attachment. After locking, only a container tab is fully detached after the receptacle is initially opened to indicate use. The lid remains fully intact after opening and hides the detached container portion underneath a locking tab platform for protection against any perforated edges. Matching connectors allow re-sealing after initial opening of the locking mechanism. The lid also contains a lid lock ledge that matches with a container lock ledge that submerges the lid into the container. The locking tab platform allows re-opening of the lid and container after use and contains a hinge for flexibility of the platform during closing and opening of the lid.

CHILD RESISTANT GLASS CONTAINER

Disclosed herein are child-resistant containers. Also disclosed are methods using the modular containers and methods of storing substances in containers The containers have a glass base and a plastic cap and provide for child-resistant containers. A user can releasably remove the cap from base with a squeeze and lift sequence on the sides of the cap. For example, the user squeezes opposite sides of the container cap, which releases a locking mechanism and allows for removal of the cap by lifting or pulling the container cap off from the container base. The containers are modular and stackable.

Tamper-evident thermoformed packaging

A package having a lid seated on a base where the edge of the seated lid is generally inaccessible, and where the edge is made accessible by a movement of a tamper-evident tab. The base and lid are configured so that opening of the tamper-evident tab locks the tab in the opened position. The inner edge of the tamper-evident tab is joined to the base by a hinge. The tamper-evident tab includes a protrusion that extends inwardly beyond the hinge. The lid includes a retention feature overlying the tamper-evident tab. The protrusion interacts with the retention feature to provide an audible indication when the tamper-evident tab is opened and to retain the tamper-evident tab in the opened position. The protrusion may be configured to lift the lid when the tamper-evident tab is in the opened position.

The tamper evident container includes a base with a base hinge panel and a lid with a lid hinge panel. A hinge connects the panels. A frangible line extends from an edge of the lid hinge panel to a first point on the panel and then outwardly to the hinge. The frangible line crosses the hinge and extends inwardly to a second point on the base hinge panel. From the second point the frangible line extends to an edge of the base hinge panel. When the container is initially sealed, the frangible line separates upon the application of an upwardly directed force to a first portion of the lid hinge panel while a second portion of the lid hinge panel is held in a fixed position or moved downwardly. The separation of the frangible line creates two grasping portions that can be used to pull the lid from the base.

ROTOMOLD COOLER

An insulated container can include a body having a length, width and height. The body can include an interior volume, an internal rim and an internal slot extending into the interior volume. The insulated container can further include a lid. The lid can have an open position and a closed position. The insulated container can have a cutting board. The cutting board can be complementary in shape to the internal rim and seat on the internal rim. The cutting board also can seat in the internal slot.

Airtight container with an easily detachable cover

An easily detachable airtight container includes a container body, a first upper cover, a second upper cover and a handle. The second upper cover is disposed between the container body and the first upper cover. The first upper cover has an opening, while the second upper cover has a convex block which passes through the opening. The handle includes a body. The body has a first coupling portion, while the convex block has a second coupling portion. The first coupling portion and the second coupling portion may are detachably connected. When the first coupling portion is coupled with the second coupling portion, the first upper cover is sandwiched between the second upper cover and the handle. In the present disclosure, the handle forms a detachable connection with the convex block by means of the coupling portions.

Containers featuring improved food integrity and takeout experience

A container lid and base assembly includes lid and base stacking features, as well as base chamfers that align with vents provided in the lid. When a plurality of the container assemblies is stacked, the lid and base stacking features nest with each other, while the chamfers align with corresponding vents in the stacked assemblies so that none of the vents is blocked by a next-higher container assembly. The stacking features can be centrally located, and the vents can be peripherally located. A plurality of the container assemblies can have differing sizes and/or shapes, while including mutually compatible stacking features, thereby enabling container assemblies of differing sizes to be stacked without blocking any of the vents thereof. The vents can be holes or “C” vents. The lid and/or base can be manufacturable by thermoforming. The lid and base can be separate, or joined by a hinge.
