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.

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 formed of a fibrous material includes a bottom part which has egg receiving compartments which at least partially match the outer contours of an egg. A cover part has a top surface, a front surface, a back surface and two end surfaces. The Front side has a generally horizontal upper edge with restraint projections extending forwardly and downwardly from the upper edge for locking engagement with cooperating apertures in the front surface of the cover part. The front surface of the cover adjacent to the bottom part has apertures. The cover part has a plurality of longitudinal recesses extending between the top surface and the front surface of the cover part through each recess and extends from the top surface down beyond the middle of the front surface.

Abstract: The invention pertains to an egg package 2 formed of a fibrous material, the egg package 2 comprising: A bottom part 4 comprising a plurality of egg-receiving compartments 8 having non-planar side surfaces 10 so as to match at least partially the outer contours of an egg, the plurality of compartments 8 being arranged in at least two parallel rows and upwardly extending projections 12 located between the rows of compartments 8. The egg package further comprises a cover part 6 comprising a top surface 24, a front surface 16, a back surface 17, and two end surfaces 20, 22. The cover part 6 is connected to the bottom part 4 by a hinge 14 between the back surface 7 and the bottom part 4 so as to allow the cover part 6 to move between an open position and a closed position.

Abstract: Three-dimensionally shaped packaging product manufacturable by dry forming is provided. Furthermore, an airlaid material and a method of manufacturing a three-dimensionally shaped packaging product are provided. The three-dimensional packagings are prepared from airlaid fluff comprising natural fibres and selected amounts of thermoplastic materials, adhesive and thermosetting resin where the thermoplastic fibres and/or adhesive and/or thermosetting resin during hot pressing with water result in a setting bonding between the fibres. Preferably substantially no thermosetting resin is present in the material The three-dimensional packaging has a very fine surface finish and the manufacturing process requires substantially less energy than the traditional wet method.

Abstract: Method of manufacturing articles from an aqueous fibre suspension, by deposition of fibres on a suction mould (2), comprising the steps of: applying suction to the suction mould, supplying a fibre suspension to the mould by immersing the suction mould in a vat (5) containing the fibre suspension, raising the suction mould from the fibre suspension, flowing ambient air by said suction through an article formed by a layer of fibre material deposed on the suction mould, characterised by the steps of: providing a substantially hermetically sealed space over the article or articles on the suction mould, supplying a de-watering fluid to the sealed space, and flowing substantially exclusively the de-watering fluid through the article or articles.

Abstract: Package (1) for receiving agricultural or industrial products to be packed comprising a bottom part (2) and a cover part (3), whereby the cover part (3) is provided with an enlarged side surface.

Abstract: An improved egg tray is disclosed. The egg tray is comprised of a thin-walled body of rigid fiber pulp material and has a plurality of pockets and a plurality of posts. Each pocket has a bottom surrounded by a plurality of posts and each pocket has an egg-supporting surface for supporting an egg. The egg-supporting surface is a continuous part of a substantially ellipsoidal surface approximating the surface of the pointed part of an egg, and the pockets are within an egg size interval for which the egg tray is intended to be used. The egg-supporting surface has a continuous circular zone and a plurality of lower tongues extending downwardly from the continuous zone. Advantageously, the egg-supporting surface has a plurality of upper tongues extending upwardly on the sides of the posts from the continuous zone.

Abstract: The mutually associated moulding tools, such as a suction mould and an associated pressing-and-depositing mould, neither of which are shown, comprise a baseplate (1) with a modularly divided, rectangular area (2) provided with perforations (3), on which area (2) it is possible to secure, e.g. by means of screws, a number of closely adjacent modular mould parts (A,B) with a rectangular outline, each of the modular mould parts (A,B) serving to produce an article (C,D,E) to be separated from the pulp-material shell having been produced in a subsequent operation. With this arrangement, it is possible to keep the cost of manufacturing the moulding tools and the time required for re-arranging them at such low levels, that even small series of articles (C,D,E) may be manufactured profitably.
