  • Patent number: 6772897
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a transport container, preferably made of plastic material, especially for vegetables, fruit and the like, with a floorboard (2) and several, preferably four, collapsible side walls (3, 4, 5, 6) that are arranged circumferentially on the floorboard (2) and can be folded down onto it. According to a first aspect of the invention, the floorboard (2) is provided with an essentially rectangular frame (8) in which there extends a floor profile (9) with a smooth surface, said floor profile (9) being stiffened by the provision of several bulges (10) that are formed by the curvature of the floor profile (9) in several space directions.

  • Patent number: 6733270
    Abstract: A device for shape-forming at least one recess in a film-type material features a die with at least one opening, at least one shaping stem that can be introduced into the opening to create the recess by shape-forming, and a clamping facility for holding the film-type material fast between the clamping facility and the die. Counter-stems which are displaceable at least within the die openings are situated in the die, whereby shape-forming regions of the shape forming stems and the counter-stems for clamping the film-shaped material are, at least in part, superimposed on each other.

  • Patent number: 6699566
    Abstract: Process for manufacturing cold formed shaped forms of packaging having at least one recess from a metal-plastic laminate. Examples of such shaped forms of packaging are the base parts of push-through packs or blister packs. The process is such that the laminate is held between a retaining tool and a die. The die 1 exhibits at least one opening and a stamp is driven into the die opening causing the laminate to be shape-formed into a packaging, correspondingly exhibiting one or more recesses. The die and the retaining tool exhibit facing edge regions and the die, within the edge region, exhibits a shoulder region that surrounds the die opening or openings. The surface of the shoulder region lies 0.

  • Patent number: 6380549
    Abstract: In order to detect pin-holes or tears in a foil (16), during deformation of the foil (16), the transmission of light through the foil is measured continuously by means of at least one light source (22) situated on one side of the foil (16) and at least one of the light sensors (24) on the other side of the foil (16). The light source (22) is integrated in a shaping-punch (14) and the light sensors (24) are situated in a die (12) which is employed along with the punch (14). The pin-hole detector (10) enables pin-holes or tears formed during the deformation of the foil to be detected on-line in a single shaping step closely resembling actual working practice.
