Packaging device
A packaging device includes a first portion and a second portion connected to the first portion by way of a first fold line. The first portion includes a first primary edge distal and parallel to the first fold line and the second portion includes a second primary edge distal and parallel to the first fold line. An arm is defined by two cut lines extending from a section of the second portion proximate the first fold line, and ending in a tab that extends from the second primary edge. In a folded state, the first primary edge is aligned with the second primary edge.
MODULAR PACKAGING STRUCTURES
Described herein are modular packaging structures and corresponding packaging methods. Packaging structures incorporating features of the present disclosure can comprise a base structure, for example a tray comprising a volume, and a backer card, which can be configured to receive one or more objects to be packaged. Differently designed backer cards can be utilized with the same base structure allowing for a modular packaging structure and preventing the need for specialized and specifically tooled trays for different products. The backer cards may interact with the base structures to form multiple compartments. These modular packaging structures allow for a great level of customizability and help mitigate the cost and labor typically required in utilizing multiple specifically tooled thermoform trays.
TUBE PACKAGING BOX
A tube packaging box is generally in the form of a box having an open top. The box includes a front board, a rear board, a bottom board, and two side boards such that the boards collectively form a rectangular receiving space. The front board is connected to a folding board. The folding board is extended to form a first folding section and a second folding section. With a tube positioned in the receiving space, the folding board is folded inwardly into the receiving space such that the first folding section of the folding board covers a top side of the tube and the second folding section is fit into and interposed between the tube and the rear board to have the second folding section simultaneously clamped by and between the tube and the rear board with two opposite edges of the first folding section abutting the tube.
PACKAGING FOR RETRACTABLE HAND TOOL
A packaging card for a tool comprising a fixed member and a movable member that is selectively movable relative to the fixed member includes a tool engaging region coupling the packaging card to the movable member such that movement of the movable member relative to the fixed member moves the card relative to the fixed member. The card also includes a deformation region that tears or deforms upon application of a separation force sufficient to remove the packaging card from the tool. Another packaging card for a tool having a housing with front and side apertures includes a front flange receivable in the front aperture of the tool, a side flange insertable into the side aperture, and a hook catchable on an interior of the housing to deter removal of the packaging card from the tool until sufficient force is applied to overcome a holding power of the hook.
CASCADING DISPLAY
An improved cascading display can be formed by assembling a plurality of support members integrally formed from the display. The improved display can attractively exhibit socks, underwear, and other displayable garments in a cascading fashion and can require fewer materials. Methods of forming the cascading displays are also disclosed.
Packaging for retractable hand tool
A packaging card for a tool comprising a fixed member and a movable member that is selectively movable relative to the fixed member includes a tool engaging region coupling the packaging card to the movable member such that movement of the movable member relative to the fixed member moves the card relative to the fixed member. The card also includes a deformation region that tears or deforms upon application of a separation force sufficient to remove the packaging card from the tool. Another packaging card for a tool having a housing with front and side apertures includes a front flange receivable in the front aperture of the tool, a side flange insertable into the side aperture, and a hook catchable on an interior of the housing to deter removal of the packaging card from the tool until sufficient force is applied to overcome a holding power of the hook.
TWIST-TIE DISPENSER
A twist-tie dispenser comprises a twist-tie cluster and a base. The base includes a top portion, a rear wall extending downward from the top portion, and an open front. A latching structure for removably mounting the base to a fixture is defined at least in part by a first hook-like extension protruding from the rear wall of the base, the first hook-like extension defining a pocket formed by an upper stop surface and a vertical retention surface, the latching structure also defined at least in part by a flexible portion of the rear wall that is configured to elastically deflect through a cut-out provided on the rear wall in a direction from the rear wall toward the open front when a rod-like mounting structure of the fixture is inserted into the pocket of the first hook-like extension, the flexible portion also defining a lower stop surface that opposes the upper stop surface of the first hook-like extension when the rod-like mounting structure is within the pocket and is captured between the lower stop surface and the upper stop surface.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SOFT COVER ATTACHMENT
A softcover for an evacuation system may comprise a fabric panel. The fabric panel may define a plurality of apertures located proximate a first end of the first fabric panel. A plurality of straps may extend from a second end of the fabric panel. The straps may be configured to secure the fabric panel to a housing configured to receive an inflatable slide.
