  • Patent number: 4373637
    Abstract: A collapsible corrugated fiberboard container to be fastened to a pallet. The container has a floor panel, two opposite side panels and two opposite end panels. The side panels and end panels are flexibly connected to each other, and the floor panel is connected to the bottom edges of the side panels. The floor panel is divided by score lines into a center portion and two outer portions which are on either side of the center portion. The center portion is attached to the pallet, and the outer portions are free to pivot about the score lines. The end panels are provided with vertical score lines. Bottom flaps are each connected to the bottom edge of the end panels and are also provided with score lines. The container can be collapsed due to the flexible connections between the side and end panels and the arrangement of the score lines so that the container can assume a flattened storage configuration above the pallet when not in use.

  • Patent number: 4196807
    Abstract: A single folded fiberboard carrier for an even number of drinking vessels of varying shapes and sizes, having a central vertical handle portion or section, a divergent pair of apertured panels hinged to the handle portion and a convergent pair of apertured panels hinged from said divergent panels and hinged together at their bottom. The apertures in these pairs of panels are for clamping the conical or frusto-conical sides of the paper or plastic drinking cups suspended in the carrier, and for preventing tilting or spilling of the contents in the cups when the carrier is at rest and the cups are supported on their bottoms. The vertical handle portion is apertured for grasping with the fingers of one's hand. The divergent panels have elongated cup body engaging apertures with semicircular floating collars hinged at their ends diametrically of the apertures for engaging the upper sides of different size and tapered frusto-conical cups.

  • Patent number: 4155502
    Abstract: A single folded fiberboard carrier for an even number of drinking vessels of varying shapes and sizes, having a central vertical suspending handle portion or section, and a pair of depending hinged apertured panels for clamping the conical or frusto-conical sides of drinking cups when suspended in the carrier, and for preventing tilting or spilling of the contents in the cups when the carrier is at rest and the cups are supported on their bottoms. The vertical handle portion is apertured for grasping with the fingers of one's hand and has depending therefrom tabs for engaging the rims of the smaller cups to prevent them from falling through their clamping apertures. Hinged divergently downwardly extending from each side of the handle portion are panels having elongated cup body engaging apertures, which may have inwardly extending tabs.

  • Patent number: 4140218
    Abstract: A display wrapping of a single fiberboard type of sheet formed into an open-ended tubular type carton with display apertures in the sides thereof for displaying polygonal prism or annular disc-shaped articles such as wheels, tires, automobile air filters, and other cylindrical or tubular shaped objects. The wrap comprises one or more wrappings which have cut-out portions in at least two opposite side panels, and may have central apertures in two opposite side panels aligned with the aperture in the annular article being wrapped. These two opposite side panels are joined by straps at their four corners to expose the associated opposite segment sides of the article being wrapped. Opposite ends of the wrapping sheet are anchored together on the front or back panel either by dovetailed interfitting ends, or a flap with parallel opposing locking tabs that fit in corresponding parallel slots on the back panel.

  • Patent number: 4094457
    Abstract: A single substantially rectangular blank of fiberboard-type sheet material folded along longitudinal and central transverse triangular creases or score lines to form an open top and closed bottom substantially polygonal, such as octagonal, prism-shaped container. The straight fold lines between the bottom triangular and side rectangular panels alternately angle of about 10.degree. with respect to each other successively around the bottom or base of the container, and the two opposite triangular double-thickness flaps extending from adjacent pairs of opposite side panels fold under the bottom so that their apeces substantially touch each other and said triangular flaps are attached to the bottom either by a staple means or an adhesive or both. The angular fold edges around the periphery of the base insure ample space under the container for these triangular flaps so the container when sitting on its base will rest primarily on alternate peripheral corners of the base, insuring its stable vertical condition.

  • Patent number: 4068796
    Abstract: A reinforced container formed of foldable paper board and having triangular column supports at opposite diagonal corners. The container is double jointed, being formed of two container segments. Each container segment has one inner flap which extends into the container from the point that the container segment is joined with the mating segment. The flap forms a triangular supporting column with the adjacent corner of the container to provide for additional stacking strength.

  • Patent number: 3963168
    Abstract: A one-piece multicell reinforced carton insert having an exterior boundary sidewall, a bottom floor and a plurality of cell segments, integrally formed with the exterior boundary sidewall, which may be folded together to form a plurality of reinforced cells within the insert. The cell segments depend from the bottom edge of the outer boundary wall and are folded upwardly to create bottom and sidewalls of individual cells. Adjacent cell segments are interlockable with each other and with the sidewall, and when the entire carton insert is folded in position, a plurality of cells are created in a total reinforced structure.
