Abstract: A foldable basket carrier has front and rear panel assemblies hinged about common edges of center panels wherein the center panels form a full two-ply center keel.

Abstract: A paperboard tray is disclosed that includes pairs of tuck flaps formed between the side and end panels of the tray. The tuck flaps are folded under the ends of the tray and are rigidly locked in position to give the tray great rigidity and leakproof corners. Tuck flap tabs on the tuck flaps are retained in tab holes in an end flap portion of the tray, and the end flap portion folds over and around the folded tuck flaps to doubly secure them in position.

Abstract: An assembled and folded blank for a bulk container with at least one cell has partial bellows corners formed at two adjacent bottom corners by three bottom panels hinged on three adjacent walls, and has a fourth bottom panel hinged on the bottom edge of the wall between the other two corners of the cell. The fourth bottom panel is free of the other three bottom panels which have two side bottom panels hinged on an end bottom panel thereof. The two side bottom panels each have a cut and a partial diagonal score line defining partial bellow corners at two bottom corners of the container. The blank is folded flat by having the walls folded together about two diagonally opposite corners thereof.

Abstract: A bulk material container having two cells laminated together along one of their respective walls to form a double thickness central partition. The abutting juncture of the wall panels of each cell is contained within the central partition and is offset from the juncture of the adjacent cell to increase the strength of the double thickness central partition. Each cell has a reinforcing liner so that the completed bulk container offers double thickness on all the walls and the central partition. A plurality of inwardly folding top flanges and inwardly bottom flaps may be formed on each of the wall panels of the cells of the bulk material container.

Abstract: An improved wrap-around beverage carrier which provides for total separation between adjacent containers in the carrier is provided in the subject invention. In the preferred embodiment the carrier is designed to hold twelve cans of a given product and is designed in a one-piece configuration. The novel partitioning arrangement within the carrier permits total separation to prevent cans from coming in contact with each other during shipping, thereby avoiding abrasion marks on printed aluminum beverage cans. The novel divider structure is hinged from an interior partitioned panel and has a novel configuration of the panel wherein the novel configuration allows the partition to be used for total separation without requiring additional partition structures to be placed within the carrier.

Abstract: A traffic channeling device for positioning on a highway in a normal traffic flow pattern. The channeling device comprises generally a paperboard shell structure which has formed on its lower portion, a plurality of flaps which are utilized in combination with holding means to hold the shell structure in a pre-determined position on the highway. The holding means may comprise a weight being positioned within the shell and in the preferred embodiment the weight may comprise at least one and preferably a plurality of automobile tires being positioned within the shell and on top of the flaps. The paperboard shell also has positioned on the outside thereof warning means for warning the traffic flow that the device has been positioned on the highway in the normal traffic flow with the warning means comprising an adhesive reflecting tape applied to at least a portion of the outside of said shell and preferably to the entire outside shell.

Abstract: A returnable enclosed beverage carrier having an improved top panel is disclosed herein with the beverage carrier being the type comprising a bottom panel, a pair of side panels, a pair of end panels, a top panel and a plurality of locks on the end panels of the package to form an enclosed package around a plurality of beverage containers. The improved top portion comprises a handle opening being formed in the top panel in the central portion thereof and a pair of tear-out portions being formed adjacent to the handle portion to provide access to the interior of the package; the tear-out portions are positioned so that the weight of the beverage carrier and beverage containers is carried to the corners of the package through predetermined portions on the top panel. This allows the tear-out portions to be removed from the top panel without destroying the structural integrity of the package and allows the package to be reused for carrying empty beverage containers back to a retail outlet.

Abstract: A two-cell bulk container has partial bellows corners formed at the outside or end bottom corners of each cell of the container with free center bottom panels on the bottom of the center wall of the panels on the bottom of the center wall of the container being gripped within the folds of the partial bellows corners to reinforce the container.

Abstract: A foldable basket-type carrier suitable for holding twelve bottles has longitudinal partition panels connected between end wall panels on both sides of central panel and handle means thereof. Transverse partitions extend in opposite directions from the longitudinal partition panels to the side wall panels and to the central panel means completing the division of the carrier into twelve article receiving cells, two rows of three receiving cells being provided on each side of and parallel to the central panel and handle means.

Abstract: An improved shipping container having novel locking features in the end panel and corner flaps. The novel locking features improved bulge resistance at the end panels from sideward bulge of the product. The improved container comprises a pair of corner flaps being hinged from the side panels and folded inwardly against an end panel with the two corner flaps and end panel on each side of the container having a quadruple lock. The lock is formed by providing a locking tab on each corner flap as well as a pair of locking tabs on the end panel with the end panel and corner flaps locking tabs being designed to be swung and locked in the opening formed by the aligned mating locking tab.

Abstract: A one-piece partition has front and back series of hinged panels folded together wherein the panels of each series have alternating short and tall heights. The short panels of one series correspond to the tall panels of the opposite series. The end panels of one series is connected at a scoreline to the end panels of the opposite series while a pair of adjacent panels intermediate the end panels of one series is separated by a cut line from the corresponding pair of adjacent panels of the opposite series so that the pairs of adjacent panels may be folded outward to form wings of the partition.

Abstract: A bulk container has a hinged top with narrow side panels and a front locking panel assembly including an outside panel and an inside panel wherein a horizontal locking edge is formed on the inside panel for being engaged by a tab or the like folded downward from the front top edge of the container. An opening extends through both the inside and outside panels of the top in alignment with the tab for disengaging the tab from the locking edge.

Abstract: The use of a pressure roll in a water control system for suction rolls generally and couch rolls particularly for a papermaking process of the type wherein water is removed from the wet paper web that has been run around the roll and wherein a surface tension covering is provided around the periphery of the couch roll on at least a portion of the couch roll and a water control zone is provided within the couch roll to control the water removed from the paper to the surface tension member with variations of the pressure within the water control zone to directionally control the discharge of water off the couch roll in a predetermined pattern for deposit in the water collecting pan provided in proximity to the couch roll.The pressure roll, having a new soft rubber covering, is mounted in face-to-face pressure engagement against the couch roll, with the pressure nip therebetween located in the water collecting zone preferably within one to one-and-a-half inches of the beginning of the water collecting zone.
