Process for forming plastic corrugated container and intermediary blank
A corrugated plastic box and a method for manufacturing a corrugated plastic box from a blank are provided. The method includes the steps of forming rounded edge seals on the perimeter edges of the blank, pre-sealing portions of the blank to form a plurality of areas in which major and minor flap slots and a glue tab are desired, ultrasonically scoring the blank to form a plurality of flap score lines, and cutting the blank through the plurality of pre-sealed flap slots and glue tab, leaving a sealed edge.
Collapsible snack caddy
A collapsible snack caddy has an open rectangular box-like configuration for carrying snacks and a closed flat configuration. The caddy has a bottom, front and back sides, left and right ends, and an open top. The caddy is hinged at all four corners. The sides and ends are hinged to the bottom. The sides have diagonal living hinges to allow a triangular portion to fold upon the trapezoidal portion. The bottom, and both sides are hinged in the middle so that opposite portions of the ends, sides, and the bottom can fold upon each other.
STRAIGHT CONSISTENT BODY SCORES ON PLASTIC CORRUGATED BOXES AND A PROCESS FOR MAKING SAME
The invention is directed to straight, consistent body scores on plastic corrugated boxes and a process for making the body scores.
CARGO ORGANIZER WITH COLLAPSIBLE STORAGE COMPARTMENT
A cargo organizer includes a base, a storage compartment supported by the base and a deployment system for the storage compartment. The storage compartment includes a plurality of wall panels each having a hinged connection with the base and pivotable about its hinged connection between a stowed orientation and an upright orientation. The storage compartment is selectively deployable between a collapsed condition and an open condition. In the collapsed condition, each wall panel is lowered to its stowed orientation while, in the open condition, each wall panel is raised to its upright orientation. In the collapsed condition, the wall panels include an underlying wall panel and two adjacent overlying wall panels in spaced opposition about the underlying wall panel. The deployment system includes a strap system that connects an inboard portion of the underlying wall panel to respective outboard portions of the two adjacent overlying wall panels.
FOLDABLE CONTAINER
The invention provides a foldable container wherein: the container comprises: a base; a pair of opposing first side walls; a pair of opposing second side walls; each of the side walls is attached to the base by a separate hinge joint; the foldable container is made from a polymer; further comprising: a pair of foldable flaps, each attached to an upper edge of each of the first side walls by a hinge joint; repeatable locking mechanism configured to lock each of the foldable flaps against at least one side walls; wherein at least one first side wall is each attached to an adjacent second side wall by a mechanical transmission; and, wherein each foldable flap clamps at least one mechanical transmission against at least one side wall, by the repeatable locking mechanism in the deployed state.
Collapsible Cargo Utility Box
A collapsible cargo utility box for storing items is provided. The utility box comprises a housing having a front wall, a rear wall, and a pair of sidewalls forming an interior volume. An upper wall extends from the rear wall, wherein a lid is pivotally secured to the upper wall. A base forms the bottom section of the housing and is pivotally secured between the front wall and rear wall. The housing is movable between a collapsed configuration and an in-use configuration, wherein the in-use configuration the utility box can transport objects while secured within a bed of a truck and in the collapsed configuration the utility box is easily carried. A pair of cutouts are disposed on opposite sidewalls, wherein the cutouts receive the first or second sidewall in the collapsed configuration. A handle extends from the upper wall to allow for easy transport in the collapsed configuration.
Folding container
A long corrugated plastic folding container, having a folding structure in which a first side panel and latch side panel that oppose each other are provided from a floor panel, a first incision having the same height is provided in the first side panels, third incisions are provided thereabove, second incisions are provided therebelow, a second side panel is provided towards the front and rear edges of the floor panel, frames are attached to the upper end parts of the first side panels and second side panels, the first incisions of the first side panels fold inwards, and the second incisions and third incisions fold outwards, where the height dimension of the first side panel is greater than the short edge dimension, and, above the third incision serves as an upper short side panel, below the third incision and above the second incision.

Straight consistent body scores on plastic corrugated boxes and a process for making same
The invention is directed to straight, consistent body scores on plastic corrugated boxes and a process for making the body scores.
Automatically Opening Box
An automatically opening box comprising a rectangular base formed from two rectangular panels joined by a foldable spine. A pair of opposed sides extend upwardly from the base at base corners perpendicular to the spine, each having a vertical fold aligned with the spine. A pair of opposed sides extend upwardly from edges of the base at base corners parallel to the spine. Adjacent sides are connected at side corners. At least two side corners include sprung hinges. Both sides of one of the pairs of opposed sides having diagonal folds. The box has a collapsed configuration where both pairs of opposed sides are folded down to be parallel to the base, the base is folded along the spine and vertical folds, and a fastener secures the box in the collapsed configuration, and a deployed configuration where the fastener is released and the sprung hinges deploy the sides and base.
