  • Publication number: 20200239218
    Abstract: Container comprising a bottom portion and a side wall portion extending upwardly from the bottom portion, said container being at least partially filled with a first material, said container further comprising a pouch filled with a second material, said pouch being arranged inside the container. Said pouch is arranged to be fastened to the bottom portion of the container such that at least a portion of the first material is arranged above the pouch and in that the pouch is rupturable. In this way, a container is provided whereby a second material can be mixed with a first material in a safe manner with a lowered risk of splashing.

  • Patent number: 10329056
    Abstract: A container (100) with a lid lever (132) to disengage a lid present on a rim portion (112) of the container (100) is disclosed. The lid lever (132) is integrated between two cuts and is attached to a primary skirt (114) of the container (100). The lid lever (132) is pulled laterally outward towards a free end to disengage the lid. A secondary skirt (138) in the form of a flange is present behind the lid lever (132). The secondary skirt (138) prevents deformation of the primary skirt (114) and the rim portion (112) of the container (100). The shape of the lid lever (132) extends past the primary skirt (114) thereby making the lid lever (132) more effective and further makes it distinguishable from the primary skirt (114).

  • Publication number: 20180071940
    Abstract: A method for conveying pre-printed in-mould labels (IML) in a roller to a casting machine that moulds items such as cups or lids, where the in-mould labels must be integrated in items by being partially punched such that they remain fixed to the roller in points or bridges, after which the roller with the semi-punched in-mould labels is placed on a device from which the roller is rolled out in stages, such that the in-mould labels pass through a tool with holes which are shaped to fit the circumference of the in-mould labels. The in-mould labels are then removed with a device such as a robot with vacuum suction that tears over the river bridges that fix the in-mould labels to the roller and transfers them to the injection casting tool. An apparatus for achieving the method includes an unwinder for attaching a roller of in-mould labels from which the rolled-up in-mould labels are fed through a tool that contains holes which are shaped to fit the circumference of the in-mould labels.

  • Patent number: 9764492
    Abstract: The invention includes a method and device for conveying pre-printed polymer oblates (IML), supplied in a roller, to a casting machine such as an injection press that molds items such as cups or lids, where the oblates must be integrated in items by the oblates being partially punched such that they remain fixed to the roller in points or bridges, after which the roller with the semi-punched oblates is placed on a device (1) from which the roller with oblates is rolled out in stages, such that the oblates pass through a tool (5) with holes (9) which are shaped to fit the circumference of the oblates, after which the oblates are removed with a device such as a robot with vacuum suction that tears over the river bridges that fix the oblate to the roller and transfers the oblates to the injection casting tool.

  • Patent number: 9533441
    Abstract: A packaging article for containing and holding food products includes a barrier layer for limiting permeability of oxygen through and into the article and an oxygen scavenging layer, which oxygen scavenging layer together with a second plastic material is contained within a cavity in a first plastic material forming walls, bottom(s) and lid(s) of the packaging article, which first plastic material is suitable for contact with food products. A method of manufacturing a packaging finished in one injection molding cycle includes placing the barrier layer in a mold, injecting the first plastic material suitable for contact with food products into the mold, and injecting the second plastic material with the oxygen scavenger into the mold.

  • Patent number: 9056698
    Abstract: The container (1) has a detachable lid (8) adapted to engage a peripheral rim (5) of a top opening. The peripheral rim has radially protruding flanges (7), and the lid has radially protruding flanges (8) adapted to, in a first angular position of the lid, pass in between the radially protruding flanges of the peripheral rim (5) and, in a second angular position, be engaged with the radially protruding flanges (7) of the peripheral rim. The flanges (7, 8) are adapted to, by pressing the lid (6) onto the peripheral rim, in the second angular position, snap over each other. A skirt portion (12) of the radially outwards protruding flanges (7) of the peripheral rim (5) is provided with a rounded indentation (14) into which a rounded protrusion (15) of a radially inwards protruding flange (8) may snap.

  • Patent number: 8800798
    Abstract: The invention relates to a packaging, preferably for foodstuffs, said packaging comprising a container and a lid, both of which is made of a material which is suitable for injection moulding, said lid being sealable relative to the container; and wherein the lid comprises an elevated portion for abutment on the internal, upper edge of the container, wherein at least a portion of the lid (2) is made with a sealing zone (7, 8) for joining with the container (1), said sealing zone (7, 8) being added with an active material which, by influence during joining, changes the material in the sealing zone (7, 8) to the effect that the sealing becomes weaker than the surrounding material, whereby the scaling is, upon opening, broken in the joint and not in the surrounding material.

  • Patent number: 8794481
    Abstract: A lid that can be sealed to a container to provide packaging includes an edge with a pull tab which facilitates removal of the lid from the container. The lid and pull tab are injection molded integrally, and the pull tab has the form of a flexible grid-like flap that is bendable to a substantially upright position. The pull tab is formed by a number of spaced, parallel and interconnected bars that extend in a direction substantially at right angles to the direction of pulling of the pull tab.

  • Publication number: 20130098914
    Abstract: The container (1) comprises a number of side walls (2) meeting at corners (3), a bottom, and a top opening (4) with a detachable lid (5). At a corner (3) of the container, a curved corner section (11) of an inward directed ridge (8) of the lid (5) is provided with a bendable skirt section (12) being adapted to be bent to an outward directed position (12?) in such a way that a central part of the curved corner section (11) of the inward directed ridge (8) of the lid (5) is levered away from an outward directed ridge (6) of the top opening (4) and that engagement between the corresponding ridges (6, 8) thereby is weakened in an area at said central part.
