Abstract: A package for eggs having a bottom part, a cover part and upwardly extending retainment projections cooperating with apertures in the cover part. A pillow post may be formed between neighboring egg receiving compartments of the package. The retainment projections and corresponding apertures may be constructed so as to not be aligned after a molding process but then aligned after a subsequent drying process. The retainment projections may cooperate with apertures in the cover part including engaging a tongue located at the bottom of the apertures.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a method of manufacturing an egg package wherein the cooperating locking means in a cover part and bottom part of the egg package are formed and placed relative to each other so that form changes in the cover part arising during manufacture are compensated for The invention furthermore pertains to an egg package manufactured according to the above mentioned method.

Abstract: An egg package having a bottom part having egg receiving compartments and a cover part hinged to the bottom part. Ends of the cover part each have a pair partially ovoid portions and a concave middle section between them. A continuous curved surface extends from one partially ovoid portion through the concave middle section to the other partially ovoid portion. A substantially planar rim may be located at each end above, in front of and to the rear of the partially ovoid portions. A retaining projection on the bottom part may engage an edge of an aperture in the cover part. A label may cover the outer surfaces of the ends. An interface between the cover part and the bottom part may decline, back to front. The front of the cover part may have a lower downwardly convex edge.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a method of manufacturing an egg package (2) wherein the cooperating locking means (30, 26) in a cover part (6) and bottom part (4) of the egg package (2) are formed and placed relative to each other, so that form changes in the cover part (6) arising during manufacture are compensated for. The invention furthermore pertains to an egg package (2) manufactured according to the above mentioned method.
