  • Patent number: 6938820
    Abstract: A stackable box formed from a one-piece blank cut of corrugated paperboard material has integrated right-angle stacking tabs protruding upwardly from each top corner of the box which matingly interlock with openings on each bottom corner of a second similarly constructed box so as to prevent sideways slipping of the boxes when stacked. The box folds and assembles without the need for fasteners, glue or other parts. The sides are assembled to have four-wall thickness and the ends are assembled to have two-wall thickness for improved strength.

  • Patent number: 6834762
    Abstract: A foldable beverage container formed from a single blank without adhesives, comprising a pair of vertical divider panels, each panel having at least one aperture forming a handle, a horizontal score, and a ledge extending from both sides of the panel. Foldably associated with each divider panel is a bottom panel for supporting the beverage container. Foldably associated with each bottom panel is a side wall panel. Foldably extending from each side wall panel is a pair of mirror image transverse support members. The transverse members preferably have at least one arcuate portion capable of partially holding a cup or other object. Each transverse member has a middle support member having a notch therein which can receive the divider panels and to restrict sideways movement of the divider panels. The carrier can be designed to accommodate a number of containers by modifying the width of the blank.
