Abstract: A double basket providing separate containers for a primary substance (e.g., French fries) and an associated condiment substance (e.g., catsup in a cup). The secondary basket has a small auxiliary wall supported by the principle basket's wall panel for juxtaposition along the primary basket's wall panel, but movable to a basket-open position away from that closed position. The auxiliary wall and its support arms provide, nevertheless, that in the closed-pocket condition the pocket components pose significantly no deterrence to what is provided to be a "nestable" stackable feature of a plurality of baskets.

Abstract: A collapsed carton tube comprising hingedly connected bottom, front, rear, cover, front flap wall panels, and a pair of end assemblies. The end assemblies include hingedly connected bottom, front, cover, rear, and front flap wall panel end flaps. The end flaps are moveable in the following order into a closed position over end portions of the tube. First, the bottom wall panel end flaps substantially close the tube end portions. Second, the front wall panel end flaps overlap a front portion of the bottom wall panel end flaps with a rear portion exposed. Third, the cover wall panel end flaps, including a recess in a rear lower corner thereof, overlap an upper portion of the front wall panel end flaps and an upper rear corner portion of the bottom wall panel end flaps, the recess leaving exposed an upper portion of the exposed rear portion of the bottom wall panel end flaps below the overlapped upper rear corner portion and rearwardly of the overlapped upper portion thereof.

Abstract: A one-piece molded flexible plastic material golf club headcover for use with a golf club, including a golf club head and shank, is disclosed. The golf club headcover includes a golf club headcover section for substantially surrounding the golf club head. A flexible and resilient restricted throat is formed in the golf club headcover section which has an internal dimension smaller than the golf club head such that upon insertion of the golf club head, the flexible and resilient restricted throat deforms and expands to allow passage of the golf club head into the golf club headcover section and subsequent return to its initial configuration. Locking elements are formed in the golf club headcover section independent of the flexible and resilient restricted throat for underlying the golf club head while releasably holding the golf club headcover section on the golf club head.

Abstract: A package for flowable goods includes an inner thin-walled plastic blown hollow body that receives the goods to be packaged and a supporting envelope without a bottom or a lid, with an upper stacking edge that surrounds the plastic hollow body and rests thereon in the packaging position. The plastic hollow body has a depression and the supporting envelope is provided with cut-outs that can be folded at least partially inward into the depression, that both act as fastening elements for the supporting elements, and form a handle for carrying the package. Engaging elements for the folded cut-outs are provided. In order to improve the link between the inner and outer package parts, the engaging elements form cams and are associated to an inclined projection formed in the plastic container in the pivoting area of the depression.

Abstract: A front loaded display carton is formed from a one-piece, cut and scored blank of paperboard or the like that is preglued and shipped to the user in a collapsed condition. The carton when squared is of essentially rectangular configuration with a display opening in the front wall and a product containing pocket located interiorly of the carton beneath the display opening. The product containing pocket is formed by internal walls known generally as header panels and stop panels which are cut from the one-piece blank.

Abstract: A bottle handle specially adapted to lift large beverage bottles including a spout, a body and a base. The bottle handle includes a spout attachment mechanism, a base engagement mechanism and a handle operably coupled to the spout attachment mechanism and base engagement mechanism. In operation, when the handle is lifted, the action biases the spout attachment means against the bottle spout and the base engagement means against the bottle base to support and lift the bottle.

Abstract: Luggage cases, especially if they are large and bulky, usually have wheels and glides or legs to hold the case upright when loaded and permit the case to be pulled or wheeled. These same large cases present a large volume--an advantage when actually being used to carry clothing. However, this large volume is a disadvantage during packaging, storage and shipping after manufacture, such as between the factory and the store where it is sold. This large volume is a disadvantage also when the case is being stored by the owner between trips. Shown here is a case (10) with easily removable wheels (11) and feet (13). These external fittings attach to the outside of the luggage shell and have a projection (92) which extends to an aperture (90) in the wall of the case shell to the inside of the case. A manually releasable latch (96), such as a clip, engages and disengages this projection from the inside of the case to mount the wheel and leg to the outside of the case.

Abstract: A golf bag insert and a method for manufacturing the same, the insert comprised of a plurality of elongated six-sided cells attached to each other in configurations that maximize space and minimize mass resulting in a lighter weight insert. Each golf club has its own individual elongated six-sided cell which eliminates entanglement of clubs and limits damage to golf club shafts and grips. The method of manufacturing consists of producing, positioning and attaching a plurality of modular units to form an insert comprised of a plurality of elongated six-sided cells.

Abstract: A product sleeve for holding (typically) four products, such as bottles, has a protuberance between pairs of products to assist in holding the products in portion within the sleeve. The protuberances are formed by tabs hinged to one end panel of the product sleeve blank. These tabs have a notch and at least one further hinge line. These tabs may be pushed through openings in the other end panel of the blank so that they fold about their hinge lines to form the noted protuberances and the notch in the tabs lock to a portion of the other end panel.

Abstract: A protective cover is foldable into a first configuration as a carrying case, and into a second configuration as an easel. Unfolded, the cover assumes a "T" shape, with first and second surfaces respectively defining the outer and inner surfaces of the carrying case. The cover has a longitudinal portion comprising first and second end sections and a central section, and a "cross-bar" portion comprising the first end section and a pair of flap portions extending laterally therefrom. Hook-and-loop fasteners are disposed on the cover so as to allow the first surface of the second end section to be folded onto and removably fastened to the second surface of the first end section, and the flap portions to be folded onto and removably fastened to the first surface of the central section, thereby forming the carrying case.

Abstract: Opening device for a packaging container with an unbroken, liquid-tight pouring spout (31, 33) and a closure part (3) enclosing this. A method of manufacturing the opening device entails forming the pouring spout (21, 33) with the closure part (3) as a mould, with a heated, thermoplastic material layer being forced into the closure part through a pressure difference.
