Abstract: A display carton for an elongated bottle which is substantially equal to the length of the carton, but is of smaller width than the carton, is provided with top and bottom retaining panel structures to prevent lateral movement of the bottle within the carton. Each retaining panel structure includes a first flap pivotally connected to the back panel of the carton, and having, in turn, a glue flap hingedly attached thereto. Hingedly connected to the opposite edges of the glue flap are two spaced tabs, with the combined length of the tabs and the glue flap being greater than the length of the first flap. By this arrangement, the first flap is disposed in abutting relationship to the end flap closure of the carton, and the glue flap is bonded to the first flap. The spaced tabs are wholly disposed within the carton and extend at an angle to the back panel so as to form with the first flap and the back panel a right triangle.

Abstract: A self erecting interior partition structure formed of a unitary blank of foldable paperboard adapted to form two adjacent cells.

Abstract: A pill box has a sliding cover for a bottom part having a rim on which an elastically compressible gasket is positioned, providing moisture-proofness. By a programmed squeezing together and sliding action the cover may be slid from the bottom part to gain access to the box's interior, the programmed actions making the box child-resistant. The gasket functions both as a seal and as a spring which keeps the cover and bottom part biased apart.

Abstract: A display carton is formed from an integral planar blank having panels which when folded form the carton and automatically divide the interior of the carton into a pair of longitudinal compartments having shelves for supporting and spacing a plurality of articles within the interior of each compartment above and below each shelf. The front wall of the carton is provided with a display opening for exposing the articles to view.

Abstract: The disclosure concerns a protective package for a video disc of the type having a pair of finger holes in the label area. The package includes a base member having a well for removably receiving the video disc. A pair of rotational restraints are secured to the base member for effecting engagement with the finger holes during the containment of the video disc in the well, such engagement preventing rotational motion of the video disc relative to the base member. A cover member is secured to the base member for enclosing the video disc in the well. Pursuant to another embodiment of the present invention, the rotational restraints are removably secured to the base member, instead of being integral therewith in accordance with the first embodiment.

Abstract: A simulated clock apparatus utilizes a housing having an opening therein and a shelf disposed in the housing below the opening. A conventional wristwatch is adapted to be rested on the shelf so as to have the face of the clock exposed for external viewing through the opening. A pendulum is pivotably secured to the shelf and is displayed visibly through a second opening located below the opening. The pendulum may be continuously oscillated back and forth in conventional "Grandfather Clock" fashion by a bar passing through a solenoid coil, such that the bar is urged into oscillatory motion, when contacting an electrical switch at an end thereof such that the switch is operated into a closed position causing a current flow from the battery, housed within the housing, to exert a pulling force on a ferromagnetic portion of the center of the bar.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a display bin for storing and displaying general items of merchandise for sale in retail stores, supermarkets and similar establishments. In general, the bin of the invention is assembled from flat, molded sheets. A rectangular, flexible wall sheet is provided with a plurality of fastening means spaced across at least the end edge portions thereof and a plurality of vertical ribs spaced in parallel relation across the bottom edge thereof. The wall sheet is bent into a three-dimensional wall body of closed configuration whereby the end edge portions overlap and the fastening means of the overlapping portions hold the bent sheet in the desired configuration. The wall body is arranged such that the vertical ribs project internally of the body. A bottom plate is inserted into the open top end of the body and lowered until it is supported by the vertical ribs, to complete the display bin.

Abstract: A package for double-armed sutures, particularly ophthalmic sutures, comprising a one-piece folded packet having needle mounting means and suture loop retaining means which are readily accessible when the package is opened. The needle mounting means is preferably removable to allow the suture to be withdrawn from the package with the needles secured therein. The suture loop retaining means is optionally incorporated with the needle mounting means and removable therewith. The package contains a single, double-armed suture with both needles secured in the needle mounting means and with a loop substantially equidistant from each needle retained in the suture loop retaining means so that the suture may be cut at the loop to obtain two single-armed sutures of substantially equal length.

Abstract: A refillable tablet package is provided through the use of a paperboard folder to which are attached removable plastic sheets containing tablets in blister receptacles.

Abstract: A palletized container comprises a case of folded corrugated board with strengthened parallel feet extending beneath the case to enable the container to be lifted by a fork-lift vehicle. The feet are made from lengths of corrugated board folded into a rectangular configuration and rolled around tongues which are formed from the bottom flaps of the case, thereby interlocking the case and the feet without any need for stitching or gluing of the parts. The security of the container is achieved by the interleaving of the corrugated board pieces.

Abstract: A holder for the storage, handling, and filing of sound recording magnetic tape cassettes which is an integral tray-shaped frame, includes a support beam disposed along its upper edge and an index bar extends upwardly of the beam and serves as a handle for the holder. A rectangular base or back panel depends from the lower edge of the support beam and side walls extend outwardly of the marginal edges of the base panel. Spaced posts extend upwardly of the base panel and are adapted to engage and prevent rotation of the reels of said cassette. A resilient retaining flange or tab extends from one of the side walls in spaced parallel relationship to the base panel for releasably gripping a cassette. The base panel is provided with an aperture disposed opposite the retainer tab to accommodate therein a raised land portion of the tape cassette.

Abstract: A folding liner of cardboard for men's shirts, women's blouses, and like garments, which are folded into a flat package for shipment and display, the liner having a pair of inwardly foldable wing panels adjoining each longitudinal side of the center panel, lateral fold lines between the inner wing panels and the center panel, and intermediate fold lines between the inner wing panels and outer wing panels, whereby a portion of the inwardly folded sleeves of the garment is clamped by the outer wing panels, as they are folded over the inner wing panels, so as to dispense with fastening pins or edge clamps. The inner wing panels include a flap-type or hook-type closure which holds the wing panels in their folded position. Special panel shapes and cutouts facilitate the folding operation or provide liner-free areas on the package.

Abstract: A package for a sterile article has a pair of sterile panels, a sterile article between the panels, and a bacteria-impervious envelope enclosing the panels and the article. The envelope has a tear-line for manually separating it into two open-ended portions for the purpose of opening the envelope. The panels extend outwardly beyond the tear-line so that after the envelope is opened, the panels and the article remain within one of the envelope portions with the panels extending out of that envelope portion. In this way, the article can be removed from the panels and envelope portion without the article contacting any part of the envelope portion.

Abstract: The disclosed packages include a merchandise unit needing protection against impact during shipment, especially a stack of articles such as mirrors, firmly contained in a liner that surrounds the merchandise unit. Inward off-sets of the liner block up-and-down sliding and, in the case of plural articles such as mirrors, the off-sets hold the articles together. The edges of the liner and especially the edges of the off-sets support the contents between the walls of a carton.
