  • Musical toothpaste tube closure
    Patent number: 6557728
    Abstract: A dentifrice closure on a dentifrice tube can emit a signal upon the opening of the closure to dispense some of the dentifrice. The closure is comprised of a base portion to attach the closure to the dentifrice tube and a lid portion that closes the dispensing opening of the dentifrice tube and which contains switch timer and signal generator. The signal generator can be a light, but preferably is a sound generator, and most preferably a music generator. Upon the lid being opened, a switch activates the timer which in turn activates the signal generator. Regardless of the position of the switch after a lid opening (the lid can be quickly closed) the signal will be emitted for a set period of time.

  • Shipper and display carton
    Patent number: 6510982
    Abstract: There is described a shipper/display carton that has high structural integrity as a shipper carton, is easy opening, and is functional as a display carton. The carton comprises a front panel with a weakened area near a bottom edge, two side panels, each having a weakened area extending substantially diagonally across the sidewall, and a weakened area across a top edge of the rear wall. Additionally, there can be a further weakened region where the rear panel weakened area intersects the weakened areas of the side panels. There is a grip aperture in the rear wall. Due to the placement and structure of the weakened areas, the carton with these weakened areas is sufficiently strong to function as a shipper carton.
