  • 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: 20140203019
    Abstract: The invention relates to a container (1) for holding fluid or particle compositions which container (1) comprises an inner lining (6) applied to an inner side (2) of the container (1), where the container (1) is provided with an inner lining (6) of a peel-able coating. The peel-able coating can be applied as water based, as Acetone based emulsion or as UV curable lacquer. The invention relates further to a method of manufacturing such a container (1), where the lining (6) is applied to the container (1) by following process steps:—Applying a peel-able coating to the inner side of the container (1):—Curing and/or drying the peel-able coating by heating, blowing or radiating by UV-light. Further the invention relates to the use of a peel-able coating as an inner lining (6) in a container (1) for fluid materials, such as paint or other materials able to leave residues on or in the container.

  • Publication number: 20130327670
    Abstract: The invention concerns an injection moulded packaging (1) comprising a plastic material container (2), such as a polypropylene container, and a lid (3), said lid (3) comprising a first portion (10) in the form of a plastic material film and an injection moulded plastic material second portion (20), said second portion (20) being adapted to be heat sealed to a rim (6) of said container (2) by heating the plastic material (30) of said second portion (20) in a peripheral edge region (4) of said lid (3) to a heat sealing temperature T, said first (10) and second (20) portions being integrally connected, such as through an IML-process, said first portion (10) defining an upper surface (11) of said lid (3) facing away from said container (2). The first portion (10) covers said second portion (20) at least along said peripheral edge region (4), said first portion (10) including along said peripheral edge region (4) a layer (12) of a plastic material which is dimensionally stable at said heat sealing temperature T.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 8403175
    Abstract: A container includes a wall, a bottom, a top opening with a peripheral rim and a lid adapted to engage the top opening. The peripheral rim is provided with a fluid-collecting lip extending in an upward and radially outward direction. The lid is provided with a locking edge adapted to wipe the fluid-collecting lip during insertion of the lid into the top opening. The fluid-collecting lip is provided with an upper, thin edge at a radially retracted position relative to the outside surface of the wall of the container. A second part of a peripheral flange of the lid substantially covers the radially outwardly-facing surface of the fluid-collecting lip in the closed position of the lid on the container.

  • Patent number: 6834772
    Abstract: The invention relates to a package of a plastics material and consisting of a container and a lid adapted to be engaged with each other by snap engagement, there being provided complementary engagement faces which engage each other for establishing said snap engagement. An annular resilient sealing member is arranged between the engagement portion (40) and the bottom wall (19). The invention is characterized in that an axial compression of the sealing member (23) is provided during application of the lid (10), said compression being partially relieved when said engagement faces (29, 42) engage each other.

  • Patent number: 4504458
    Abstract: Gypsum as a byproduct in the manufacture of phosphoric acid is converted into potassium sulphate or sodium sulphate by subjecting an aqueous slurry to anion exchange under acidic conditions. Adding solid potassium chloride to the obtained solution of potassium sulphate causes the latter to crystallize in pure state, the potassium chloride solution recovered after filtering off the crystallized potassium sulphate being used for the regeneration of the anion exchanger.
