  • Patent number: 7628746
    Abstract: A shipping carton is converted to use as a display carton using perforated lines and precut openings that together define a line circumscribing the carton. At any location at which the perforated line crosses an edge of the carton of another perforated line, a precut opening provides a clean separation. Additionally, no section of the perforated lines parallels an adjacent fold line.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 8, 2009
    Assignee: Frito-Lay North America, Inc.

  • Publication number: 20070080164
    Abstract: The combination of an injection-molded, snap-on cap and a blow-molded, plastic container are designed to act together to provide a seal that prevents a loss of freshness to the porous product stored within, regardless of variations in the manufacturing process. Instead of a rounded ridge on the container, the ridge has a flattened section on its lower half. On the inside of the snap-on cap, the ridge has two flat surfaces. A first flat surface is designed to fit snugly against the flat surface on the ridge of the container, even at the extreme range of small container/large cap. Interferences between the container and cap at points other than the intended flat surfaces can cause the closure to become point-to-point, rather than the desired surface-to-surface, so other portions of the inside of the cap are designed to not touch the container, preventing interferences.

A first flat surface is designed to fit snugly against the flat surface on the ridge of the container, even at the extreme range of small container/large cap. The design has been shown to dramatically reduce the absorption of moisture by an enclosed product, demonstrating that a desirable seal is formed.
