  • Tamper Strip For Multiple Door Closure
    Publication number: 20070215619
    Abstract: A server lid for a container with an integral tear strip tamper evident feature is presented. A tear strip for the tamper evident feature is molded as an adjunct to a base member which forms the closure. The tear strip is joined to the base by at least one frangible web, and hinges about the frangible web to overlie front edges of one or more flaps formed in the server lid. Ultrasonic welds connect the overlying tear strip to the flaps or adjacent the flaps for providing a tamper evident feature. The shape of the server lid provides stackability in that the base rim of the container will fit over the upper portion of the lid, including frangible webs to allow interfitting of one container bottom with the container closure of the next, to allow the containers to be stacked on a shelf without substantial danger of slipping or tipping.

  • Container having pivoting lid
    Publication number: 20070175909
    Abstract: The container assembly includes a container and a deformable lid. The container has a wall that extends between a base and an open end and includes a fulcrum. The deformable lid includes a mounting portion, a depressible portion, and a dispensing portion. The deformable lid is mounted on the container to enclose the open end. The mounting portion is joined to the depressible portion at a first hinge and the dispensing portion is joined to the depressible portion at a second hinge. When the depressible portion is depressed toward the base, the first hinge permits the depressible portion to collapse into the container, the second hinge permits the dispensing portion to slide upon the fulcrum, and the fulcrum biases a forward portion of the dispensing portion away from the base such that the forward portion protrudes from the container.

  • Automatic labeling machine for containers
    Publication number: 20060065371
    Abstract: The packaging machine applies labels to multiple sides of containers in an automated fashion. The machine comprises a magnetic conveyor extending along a predetermined path. Along the conveyor in sequence are an upstream label dispensing station, an upstream press station, an intermediate turner station, a downstream label dispensing station, and a downstream press station. The turning station reorients containers carried on the conveyor such that labels may be applied to multiple different sides of a container in an automated fashion.

  • Die oven and method of operating a die oven
    Patent number: 6884969
    Abstract: An infrared die oven has a die cradle for holding a die. A thermocouple is positioned within the die cradle to maintain it in direct contact with the die. A controller connected to the thermocouple continually reads the temperature of the die. When the die reaches a threshold temperature, the intensity of an infrared heating elements in the oven is reduced. When the die reaches the desired temperature, the controller continuously adjusts the intensity of the heater to maintain the die at the desired temperature.
