Abstract: A container is made of cardboard or the like material--and a pattern or blank from which said container is assembled--and has walls which are joined intimately to a base, a lid flap or flaps on one or one pair of these walls surrounding an opening to the container interior, and lying transverse to that lid flap, dust flaps which when the container is closed face the inner side of the lid flap/flaps. Said container is intended for contents of a finely divided form which could give rise to dust, and is able to prevent this dust formation.To this end the edges at the sides of the dust flap extend on both sides beyond the delimiting wall section a distance from the related fold line to produce peaklike areas; each of which is delimited by a curved contour and are joined to another wall which is adjoined to and is at an angle to that wall section, the edge at the side of the dust flap featuring a radial curvature at least in the region next to the fold line.

Abstract: A carrying and holding device comprising a plate or the like having provision for receiving a cup or the like, especially a fruit or yogurt cup and including laterally bent up edge portions to secure the cup for storage in groups within boxes. The carrying device is formed from a flat sheet of cardboard or the like which is folded to form a rectangular case with a recess for the cup, the spacing between two facing edges of the recess being less than the diameter of the cup so as to be deformed to hold the rim of the cup while gripping its side wall.
