Patent number: 9926118Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a child-resistant container which includes a lid having a peripheral flange which defines a lifting tab having top and bottom surfaces. The lid includes a protrusion extending downwardly from the bottom surface of the lifting tab. The container includes a base having an upper peripheral rim and a surface formed in a corner portion of the base between two adjacent sides of the base. The surface includes an aperture to receive the downwardly extending protrusion of the lid when the container is closed forming a child-resistant opening mechanism. The surface is uninterrupted but for the aperture.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2016Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: Inline Plastics Corp.Inventors: Sameh Guirguis, Victor Ivenitsky

Patent number: 9643761Abstract: A child-resistant container includes a lid and a base. The lid includes a peripheral flange that defines a lifting tab. The base includes an upper peripheral rim. A skirt extends downwardly from the upper peripheral rim to a lower edge thereof. A bend line extends between two adjacent sides of the base to define a corner portion of the base that accommodates the lifting tab when the container is closed forming a child-resistant opening mechanism. The bend line facilitates bending of the corner portion of the base to gain access to the lifting tab.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2015Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: Inline Plastics Corp.Inventors: Sameh Guirguis, Victor Ivenitsky

Patent number: 9630756Abstract: A tamper-resistant container with tamper-evident features includes a cover portion including an outwardly extending peripheral flange and a base portion an upper peripheral rim and a skirt depending downwardly therefrom. The upper peripheral rim extending substantially about the perimeter of the container and configured to substantially surround the outwardly extending peripheral flange of the cover portion to render the outwardly extending peripheral flange of the cover portion relatively inaccessible when the container is closed. The container includes a hinge joining the cover portion to the base portion. The vertical height of the hinge correlates with the height of the skirt that depends downwardly from the base portion when the height of the skirt is substantially uniform around the perimeter of the container. The hinge includes a frangible section including at least one line of weakness which, when severed, facilitates removal of the cover portion from the base portion.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2014Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: Inline Plastics Corp.Inventors: Robert Sellari, Peter Boback, Bruce K. Stein, Daniel A. Landan, Tadeusz J. Klimaszewski

Patent number: 9527640Abstract: A method of thermoforming a tamper-resistant/tamper-evident container includes forming a cover portion that includes an outwardly extending peripheral flange, forming a base portion including an upper peripheral rim and a skirt depending downwardly therefrom. The upper peripheral rim is configured to communicate with at least a portion of the outwardly extending peripheral flange of the cover portion to hinder access to the container when the container is closed. Forming a hinge joining the cover portion and the base portion such that the vertical height of the hinge correlates with the height of the skirt that depends downwardly from the base portion when the height of the skirt is substantially uniform around the perimeter of the container and forming at least one line of weakness in the hinge, the line of weakness is severed to facilitate removal of the cover portion from the base portion to open the container.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2014Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: Inline Plastics Corp.Inventors: Robert Sellari, Peter Boback, Bruce Stein, Daniel A. Landan, Tadeusz J. Klimaszewski

Patent number: 9216849Abstract: A plastic container includes a first portion including an outwardly extending peripheral flange and a second portion including an outwardly extending peripheral flange. The first portion and the second portion define a container volume. The plastic container also includes a hinge joining the peripheral flange of the first portion and the peripheral flange of the second portion. The hinge includes a pivot line and two arcuate segments proximate to respective ends of the pivot line. The pivot line is tangent the peripheral flange of the first portion and tangent to at least a portion of each arcuate segment. The flange of the first portion can extend further than the flange of the second portion proximate each end of the pivot line to create a seamless periphery about the hinge relative to a periphery of the first portion when the container is closed.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2013Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: Inline Plastics Corp.Inventors: Steven Pham, Thomas Iaquinto

Patent number: 8795580Abstract: A tamper-resistant container with tamper-evident features which includes a cover portion defining a peripheral flange, a base portion defining an upper peripheral edge, and a hinge joining the cover portion with the base portion. The upper peripheral edge includes an upwardly projecting bead extending substantially about the perimeter of the base portion that is configured to render the peripheral flange of the cover portion relatively inaccessible when the container is closed. The hinge includes a frangible portion for facilitating the removal of the cover portion from the base portion to open the container.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2011Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Inline Plastics Corp.Inventors: Robert Sellari, Peter Boback, Bruce Stein, Daniel Landan, Tadeusz Klimaszewski

Publication number: 20140069922Abstract: A tamper-resistant container with tamper-evident features which includes a cover portion made at least in part from a plastic material and including an outwardly extending peripheral flange and a base portion including an upwardly projecting skirt terminating in an outer peripheral edge. The outer peripheral flange extending beyond the outwardly extending peripheral flange of the cover portion to hinder access to the container when the container is closed. The container also including a hinge joining the cover portion with the base portion. The hinge includes a frangible section including at least one score line that when severed, facilitates removal of the cover portion from the base portion to open the container.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2013Publication date: March 13, 2014Applicant: INLINE PLASTICS CORP.Inventors: Peter Boback, Robert Sellari, Bruce K. Stein, Daniel A. Landan, Tadeusz J. Klimaszewski

Patent number: 8371468Abstract: A product storage container that includes a container body, a slide mechanism, and a frangible tear strip. The container body includes a base portion that is joined to a cover portion through a hinge section. The cover portion provides an upper flange extension that defines a first slot, the base portion provides a lower flange extension that defines a second slot, and the hinge section allows the cover portion to move between an open position and a closed position. The slide mechanism is positioned within the first and second slots and is configured to secure the cover portion in the closed position when arranged in a first position. The frangible tear strip maintains the slide mechanism in the first position, and upon severing, allows the slide mechanism to travel to a second position which enables the cover to be moved to the open position.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2009Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Inline Plastics Corp.Inventors: Robert Sellari, Peter Boback, Tadeusz J. Klimaszewski, Bruce Stein

Publication number: 20080087669Abstract: A tamper-resistant container with tamper-evident features which includes a cover portion defining a outwardly extending peripheral flange, a base portion defining an upper peripheral edge, a hinge joining the outwardly extending peripheral flange with the base portion and an engagement mechanism for maintaining the peripheral flange adjacent to the upper peripheral edge when the container is closed. The upper peripheral edge includes an upwardly projecting bead extending substantially about the perimeter of the base portion that is configured to render the outwardly extending flange of the cover portion relatively inaccessible when the container is closed. The hinge includes a frangible section, which upon severing, provides a projection that extends out beyond the base portion for facilitating the disengagement of the engagement mechanism and removal of the cover portion from the base portion to open the container.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2006Publication date: April 17, 2008Applicant: Inline Plastics Corp.Inventors: Peter Boback, Robert Sellari, Bruce Stein, Daniel Landan, Tadeusz Klimaszewski
