Patent number: 8132668Abstract: A package made from a biodegradable material, such as paperboard, utilizes multi-layered sheets of relatively thin material which can be cut to desired shapes relatively inexpensively and folded into adjacent layers which are adhesively attached to one another to form the package. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the package defines a book-like package having an outer envelope with one side defining a sleeve for receiving a disk and an opposite side which receives a laminated multi-layered holder having a pocket in the shape of a memory chip/card or other electronic component to be held therein.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2009Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: The John Henry CompanyInventor: Jerald Daniel Davis

Publication number: 20110072719Abstract: A foldable pot cover provides a foldable die cut pattern which can be imprinted on its exterior surfaces with any of a number of designs. The pot cover is formed from a die cut pattern which can be folded into overlapping flaps and tabs which are folded and interlocked to define a generally trapezoidal pot cover which can receive a variety of different pot sizes and types and resists moisture. The die cut pattern forming the pot cover can be of a universal shape but formed in a variety of different sizes to accommodate different sized potted plants.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2009Publication date: March 31, 2011Applicant: The John Henry Company, A Multi Packaging Solutions CompanyInventors: Dennis M.

Patent number: 7857197Abstract: A handle includes highly flexible locking tabs at opposite ends. Each of the opposed ends includes a generally triangular tab with a longitudinally extending slit aligned with the longitudinal axis of the handle for allowing the triangular tab to deflect for ease of insertion into an aperture in a tray or pot. The handle ends also include a secondary locking tab which is spaced in alignment with the longitudinally extending slit inwardly of the generally triangular tab. The locking ends include inwardly extending slots which define shoulders which engage a side of the tray or pot opposite the triangular tab for stabilizing the end of the handle in its locking engagement with the tray or pot.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2006Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: The John Henry CompanyInventor: Eric A.

Publication number: 20100059578Abstract: A plant carrier includes a floor and sides with a cutout for holding a potted plant therein. The cutout in the sides defines an area for exposing the foliage of the plant and each side has a pair of upwardly extending spaced-apart arms terminating in a handle. The arms of one side interlock with the corresponding arms on the opposite side with a buckle lock. The floor of the carrier, in one embodiment, includes upwardly formed tabs for stabilizing the bottom of a pot inserted therein. The carrier is typically made of a water-resistant material, such as a polymeric material, for strength and durability. The sides may include decorative and/or information indicia printed thereon.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2008Publication date: March 11, 2010Applicant: The John Henry CompanyInventor: John R. Widener

Patent number: 7076900Abstract: A polymeric tag has a body and an integral insertion leg which is tapered to facilitate insertion either into the soil or into a slot formed in the edge of a pot. Spaced from the end on each edge of the leg and in alignment with one another along the longitudinal length of the leg are convex outwardly extending projections immediately adjacent a symmetrical concave indentation on a side proximate the tag body. The combination of the curvilinear convex projections and concave indentations provides an easily insertable mechanism for allowing the insertion of the tag into the slot of a pot, and, once the convex projection clears the edge of the slot, the tag is locked in position with the concave indentation engaging the edges of the slot and the convex projection extending beyond the edge of the slot and engaging the underside of the pot rim.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2004Date of Patent: July 18, 2006Assignee: The John Henry CompanyInventor: Willard M. Faulkner

Patent number: 6401375Abstract: A polymeric tag has a body and an integral insertion leg which is tapered to facilitate insertion either into the soil or into a slot formed in the edge of a pot. The extending leg includes a plurality of spaced indentations for strengthening the leg as well as a trapezoidal locking tab extending outwardly from the plane of the leg to permit easy insertion into either the soil or pot and resist removal therefrom.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 1999Date of Patent: June 11, 2002Assignee: The John Henry CompanyInventor: Robert C. Hickmott

Patent number: 6145233Abstract: A tag has a body and an integral attachment end having a die cut pattern of slots defining mating inwardly projecting tangs of differing lengths to provide an adjustable diameter aperture upon deflection of the tangs. The tangs provide secure gripping of the tag to objects preventing inadvertent removal but allowing manual removal when desired.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1998Date of Patent: November 14, 2000Assignee: The John Henry CompanyInventor: Robert C.
