Tamper-resistant and tamper-evident containers
A transparent, plastic, one-piece, tamper-resistant/evident container includes a cover portion including an outwardly extending peripheral flange and a base portion having an upper peripheral rim. A tamper-evident hinge joins the cover portion with the base portion. The hinge includes a frangible section. When the container is closed, the outwardly extending peripheral flange of the cover portion abuts the upper peripheral rim of the base portion and the upper peripheral rim of the base portion extends beyond an outer edge of the outwardly extending peripheral flange of the cover portion and deters opening the container.
Receptacle having a tamper resistant locking mechanism for produce and foodstuff
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.
NOVEL TAMPER PROMINENT CONTAINERS
The present invention is directed to containers and packaging that incorporate novel tamper evident features that make prominent the evidence of tamper. In particular, the novel tamper prominent containers of the present invention comprise newly designed tamper prominent images, i.e., prominent continuity control (PCC) images. Additionally, the present invention provides novel methods of increasing prominence of the evidence of tamper with a container, e.g., of consumer goods, by incorporating prominent continuity control (PCC) images integrated with a button locking assembly that must be removed to open a locked container making prominent the evidence of tamper through clear visualization in the PCC image, e.g., prominently displaying an image of a broken lock after full fracture and removal of the button locking assembly.
Tamper Evident Package Or Container
A single piece thermoformed package or container configured to allow a user to visually determine whether the package or container has been tampered with. The container includes a base, a lid, and a hinge. The lid is pivotable relative to the base about the hinge to move the container from an opened position to the closed position. Once in the closed position, it is difficult to remove the lid without disengaging a tamper evident feature. The tamper evident feature may include a perforated section formed in the hinge and one or more pull or push sections. When the tamper evident feature is disengaged using the one or more pull or push sections, the perforation section allows the hinge to be broken such that the entire lid is removed. The container is made of polypropylene and thus can safely be microwaved and includes vents to release pressure.
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PACKAGING AND STORING VALUABLE ARTICLES WITH ANTI-COUNTERFEITING FUNCTION
A device and a method for packaging and storing valuable articles with anti-counterfeiting function, wherein a reader transmits an induction signal to a carrier that accommodates a valuable article. When a wireless communication element disposed on the valuable article transmits the identification information stored by itself when receiving the induction signal. When a communication unit disposed on the carrier receives the identification information, a processing unit analyses the identification information and presents the analyzed identification information through a display unit. In this way, users can directly know the information of the valuable article, thereby identifying the authenticity of the valuable article. In addition, the wireless communication element and a box for accommodating the carrier have a structure to prevent damage. When they are removed by external force, the original state cannot be restored.
Compartmentalized containers
A container includes a base defining a perimeter opening and a top surface within the perimeter opening. The top surface includes a plurality of discrete openings defining respective compartments extending downwardly from the top surface of the base. A first recloseable lid covers the perimeter opening when the container is closed to resist transfer of solid matter between the compartments of the base. An additional recloseable lid encloses one of the compartments to resist liquid from exiting the compartment when the compartment is closed.
Container with tearable lid
A container may include a base having a bottom and a plurality of side walls extending upward from the bottom to define an interior therebetween, and a lid configured to engage with the base in a closed configuration to enclose the interior. The container may also include a connecting portion by which the base and the lid may be connected in an initial state. The base may have an extension portion extending laterally outward from a lateral side of the base and connected to the connecting portion via a folding line about which the connecting portion and the lid may be rotatable with respect to the base between the closed configuration and an open configuration. The lid may also have an extension portion extending laterally outward from a lateral side of the lid and connected to the connecting portion via a tear line. The tear line may be weakened such that the lid may be separable from the connecting portion and the base at the tear line while the connecting portion may remain intact with the base.
CONTAINER FOR ORAL PRODUCTS
The present disclosure relates to containers and methods of making same for oral products made or derived from tobacco, incorporate tobacco, or may be tobacco-free and are intended for human consumption. The disclosed containers incorporate one or more of an alignment mechanism, a seal arrangement, a retention mechanism, or a tamper-evident feature to suit a particular application.
Tamper-Resistant and Tamper-Evident Containers
A transparent, plastic, one-piece, tamper-resistant/evident container includes a cover portion including an outwardly extending peripheral flange and a base portion having an upper peripheral rim. A tamper-evident hinge joins the cover portion with the base portion. The hinge includes a frangible section. When the container is closed, the outwardly extending peripheral flange of the cover portion abuts the upper peripheral rim of the base portion and the upper peripheral rim of the base portion extends beyond an outer edge of the outwardly extending peripheral flange of the cover portion and deters opening the container.
TAMPER RESISTANT CONTAINER
A vacuum formed, tamper resistant container resists deformation of the sides thereof that might otherwise permit access to contents of the container without removal of the lid. Downward protruding lid features reinforce the wall of the container base, and buttress features included in the rim of the base extend from a base flange diagonally downward and inward to the inner rim of a recessed shelf, thereby resisting downward rotation of the wall beneath the lid protruding features. In embodiments, attachment tabs surrounded by frangible boundaries are incorporated in the lid and attached to the base by living hinges, such that removal of the lid requires breaking of the frangible boundaries and detachment of the lid from the attachment tabs. Pucker elements associated with the attachment tabs can cause the attachment tabs to pivot away from the lid when the attachment tabs are detached from the lid.
